1 00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:03,240 Speaker 1: This is Buck's first thoughts. The news you need to 2 00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:05,840 Speaker 1: get for your day in forty five minutes. Make sure 3 00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:08,559 Speaker 1: you subscribe on the iHeart Act or wherever you get 4 00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:13,000 Speaker 1: your podcasts. I thought we were supposed to be unified. 5 00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:15,520 Speaker 1: I thought they were going to bring us all together, 6 00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:18,599 Speaker 1: that we were entering a new phase in the history 7 00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:20,760 Speaker 1: of the country, or at least in the recent history, 8 00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:24,960 Speaker 1: where we were all supposed to be buddies united, coming 9 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:31,600 Speaker 1: together in this new technocratic, competent, calm Biden administration. Right, 10 00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,600 Speaker 1: that was the promise. And now what you're already seeing 11 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:38,400 Speaker 1: is that the Biden people aren't as smart as they 12 00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:43,000 Speaker 1: told you they would be, don't give a crap about unity, 13 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:48,120 Speaker 1: and are actually ideologues driven by their desire to play 14 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:52,159 Speaker 1: kate the fringe interests that have so much control within 15 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:58,080 Speaker 1: the Democrat Party, whether it's on identity politics, environmental issues, 16 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 1: social justice, all these things. It's not the presidency they 17 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,399 Speaker 1: said we'd get. But if you knew that was the case, 18 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 1: it was always a lie. It was always meant to 19 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 1: convince medium to low information suburban voters in some key states. 20 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,560 Speaker 1: You'll just have a return to normalcy. That's what they said. 21 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 1: A return to normalcy. Well, it turns out that's not 22 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,520 Speaker 1: what we're getting. What we're getting is the return of 23 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 1: the Obama administration. That's what's really happening here. That's the 24 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 1: reality of what has now taken power. And you see 25 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:40,480 Speaker 1: this with every decision being made so far, and also 26 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,399 Speaker 1: all the people who are in charge, the people that 27 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,480 Speaker 1: are making the decisions right now, who are making the 28 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 1: calls about everything that's happening, are very similar and in 29 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 1: some cases the same as those who were doing it 30 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: during the Obama years. Do you remember the Obama years? 31 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,440 Speaker 1: Was there a lot of national healing? Did it really 32 00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 1: bring us all together? There were race riots during the 33 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 1: Obama Obama presidency, as you remember the BLM protests started. Then, 34 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 1: there were there was economic malaise at best, the slowest 35 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:18,679 Speaker 1: recovery out of a recession since the Great Depression. There 36 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 1: was a lot of unnecessary government regulation and harassment of 37 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,640 Speaker 1: people in their day to day lives. There was oppression 38 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 1: of religious freedom, there was suppression of free speech. You're 39 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 1: getting all that just coming back under a different name, 40 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 1: but the same idea. And this is why I think 41 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,920 Speaker 1: it's so interesting that they want to continue to fixate 42 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:46,360 Speaker 1: on the Trump presidency, because I think that they never 43 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 1: really thought beyond what happens when there's no longer the 44 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 1: Trump boogeyman for everyone to be terrified of what happens 45 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 1: at that phase, at that point when you can't just well, 46 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 1: they're not letting it go. That's why you have this 47 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 1: impeachment that they're going to do after a Trump presidency 48 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 1: has already ended. Joe Biden I was gonna say, for 49 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:11,960 Speaker 1: better or for worse, it's for worse is now the 50 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,920 Speaker 1: president United States. This is an absurd spectacle. We all 51 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 1: understand this. I mean, you could have replaced Joe Biden 52 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 1: with forty other sub mediocre Democrat politicians. It'd be basically 53 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 1: the same thing, just anybody. But Trump was what they 54 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: ran with, and that's what they were able to pull off. 55 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 1: And now we see what they're really going to be doing, 56 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 1: and now we see what the actual decision making will 57 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 1: be like. And that's why with this impeachment situation, they're 58 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 1: making it clear for everybody who's watching exactly what's going on. 59 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 1: You can see it. They're not hiding it. They're keeping 60 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 1: thousands and thousands of National Guard soldiers in DC for 61 00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 1: the entirety of the impeachment Democrats to actually get Trump 62 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 1: convicted would need seventeen Republicans to go along with this. 63 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 1: But I think the even more important, the even more 64 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:20,479 Speaker 1: important situation here is that there's a for me, a 65 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:24,040 Speaker 1: clear there's there's a clear decision that has been made 66 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 1: that they want all these troops in DC because we're 67 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 1: supposed to believe that there's still a threat of a coup. 68 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 1: They want everyone terrified, they want everyone worried about the 69 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 1: possibility of you know, the Trump supporters storming the gates 70 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:48,720 Speaker 1: and stopping the Senate impeachment trial or whatever. This is hysteria, 71 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 1: but it's important for their power grab. Or if you 72 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 1: look throughout history, whenever there are authoritarians, whenever there are 73 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,280 Speaker 1: people that are taking more power than they are legally, 74 00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:02,480 Speaker 1: constitutionally or otherwise supposed to be granted in government, whatever 75 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 1: that happens, they have an excuse, They have some rationale. 76 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,159 Speaker 1: It's always the other guys, we're going to do this first, 77 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,719 Speaker 1: or if we didn't do this, you know, this terrible 78 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 1: thing was going to happen. They don't just say yeah, 79 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 1: we're we're despots, we're seizing all authority and power into 80 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 1: our hand because we like it, because we think we're 81 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 1: better than you, because we think we know better than you, 82 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 1: and you're not allowed to complain. That's not the pitch. 83 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 1: That's not the way they justify their actions, even when 84 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:34,360 Speaker 1: that's exactly what they're doing. So here, what they've decided 85 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 1: to do is that they take it upon themselves to 86 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 1: be the people ordering thousands and thousands of National Guard 87 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:49,720 Speaker 1: to be deployed all throughout DC because of the threat 88 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:55,160 Speaker 1: of Trump supporters. I mean, this is absurd. We're really 89 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 1: supposed to think that that Trump supporters are going to do? 90 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 1: What will they protest in DC? Maybe? But are we 91 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 1: to think that they're gonna violently try to overthrow the 92 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 1: Senate or do something along those lines. I know what 93 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 1: they would say. I know the Democrat response would be, 94 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 1: they tried it that one time, on that one day. 95 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,360 Speaker 1: All right. It was a disaster. It wasn't a coup. 96 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 1: It was a riot, and anybody who has any sense 97 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 1: at all understands that it was the worst possible thing 98 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 1: from a purely political standpoint. It was the worst possible 99 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,920 Speaker 1: thing that a Trump supporter could have done on that 100 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 1: day at that time. It played right it played right 101 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 1: into the Democrats hands. Put aside the illegality and immorality 102 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,719 Speaker 1: of it for a moment. It played right into the Democrats' hands. 103 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 1: So we're gonna believe it. That's gonna happen again. No, 104 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 1: but they want thousands and thousands of troops deployed so 105 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 1: that this can be the way that the hysterical Democrats, 106 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, the Trump supporters can continue to play 107 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 1: this game while they show everybody during this transition period, 108 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 1: not the official presidential transition that's already happened, but this 109 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 1: change into the new regime. We don't really pay attention 110 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 1: to what Biden's doing. We don't pay attention to the 111 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 1: actions he's taking because the media will just be focused 112 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 1: on one. How amazing Biden. Do you know that his 113 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 1: son went bagel shopping with him on Sunday after going 114 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 1: to church. It's disgusting. The throne shining, the foot rubbing, 115 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 1: the oh gosh, Joe Biden's so amazing. Stuff you're seeing 116 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 1: from the media is there. They're an embarrassment, but this 117 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 1: is their business model, telling Democrats, telling the brainwash left. 118 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 1: How incredible this this clown Joe Biden is I mean really, 119 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 1: we're all supposed to think that he's some great leaders, 120 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 1: some great mind. Nobody believes that, but they're all acting 121 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: like it's true. This is the Emperor having no clothes on, 122 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 1: except the emperor is almost eighty years old, and you 123 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 1: do worry that he actually doesn't remember where pants. I mean, 124 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 1: that's where we are with this situation. But oh, we 125 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 1: need thousands of National Guard deployed. And they're even asking, 126 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 1: they're raising the question themselves, why are we on the 127 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 1: streets of DC exactly? What are we doing here? What's 128 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 1: the mission? What's the real threat? You know what the 129 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 1: threat is. They're gonna tell you. They're gonna tell you 130 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 1: that it's Trump voters trying to overthrow the Senator, some 131 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 1: crazy nonsense like that. But the real problem is that 132 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 1: they don't know how to keep their rage filled base 133 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 1: happy without Donald Trump as the ultimate political pinata. And 134 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,320 Speaker 1: they also don't want people to start to see that 135 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,839 Speaker 1: Joe Biden is really an incompetent and that the people 136 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 1: running this administration are the Democrat members of the establishment 137 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:56,439 Speaker 1: and the apparatus the left in general, who have decided 138 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,839 Speaker 1: what the policies will be, what the decision making will 139 00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 1: be Joe Biden is just the vessel otherwise. Explain why 140 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 1: he's getting rid of the Keystone XL pipeline. Explain why 141 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 1: he thinks men should be able to compete in women's sports, 142 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 1: biological males competing against biological females. Look at the whole 143 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 1: list of executive orders. It was all divisive and bad policy. 144 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:28,719 Speaker 1: These were objectively bad decisions for the country, But it's 145 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,079 Speaker 1: what the left demands. You're gonna see a whole lot 146 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,199 Speaker 1: more of it. Then they didn't wait very long, did they. 147 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,839 Speaker 1: They didn't wait at all. Because this is the presidency 148 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 1: we're dealing with. They can tell you as much as 149 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 1: they want about how there's other plans and other things, 150 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 1: and just wait one day, we'll get there. But in 151 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 1: the meantime, it's the continuation of the three ring circus 152 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 1: around Donald Trump, and oh my gosh, the Republic will 153 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,680 Speaker 1: fall unless we have thousands and thousands of soldiers deployed 154 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 1: to stop those big, bad, mean Trump supporters, all seventy 155 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 1: five million them. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. 156 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 1: Follow Buck on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. What's the number 157 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 1: one change of notice between from President Biden to President 158 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 1: Biden from President Trump. It was very clear, George, and 159 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 1: it was articulated multiple times. The President has said it publicly, 160 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 1: but in a private session just sitting down with him 161 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 1: and with the medical team, he's very serious. He says 162 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,319 Speaker 1: science is going to rule. We're gonna go by the facts. 163 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 1: We're gonna go by the evidence, We're gonna go by 164 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,839 Speaker 1: the data. If something is wrong, like I just said, 165 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 1: we're going to just try and fix it, then we're 166 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 1: gonna pull out all the stops to get our arms 167 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:44,320 Speaker 1: around this. Getting the vaccine situation on track is his 168 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:48,440 Speaker 1: highest priority. So I mean the idea that the president 169 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:51,840 Speaker 1: himself sits down with you and says, I want science 170 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:53,959 Speaker 1: to rule. Go out there and do everything we need 171 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:57,239 Speaker 1: to do to get it done. Just as really very refreshing. 172 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 1: Science will rule is a terrifying slogan for anybody who 173 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: knows history to hear science will rule. I thought we 174 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 1: the people rule through our elected representatives. But now now 175 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:13,240 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, there's some high priesthood of the 176 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,960 Speaker 1: hashtag science variety that's going to be making really important 177 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 1: policy decisions for us. You know who also thinks that 178 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 1: science will rule? This is true Marxists. They always believe 179 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 1: that all the social sciences, which aren't really science, as 180 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 1: you know, but that there was a fact and evidence 181 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 1: based way to order a society that was irrefutable and 182 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 1: must be true, is always true, even when the results suck. 183 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,239 Speaker 1: That science is all you need, you see, to reorder 184 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:50,839 Speaker 1: humankind so that we can all have everything we need. 185 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,559 Speaker 1: And this is a fundamental tenet of Marxism is to 186 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 1: treat it as though they're running a lab experiment on 187 00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,840 Speaker 1: how to grow the fastest petunias, except we're talking about 188 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 1: human beings. We're talking about the complexities and the moral 189 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 1: questions that face the human race. But the Marxists believe 190 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 1: that with science, that's all you need, and their science 191 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 1: was really a pseudoscience of Marxism. That's the whole point, 192 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 1: you see. It's the answer to everything. This is why 193 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 1: it really is all a religious belief, you see. And 194 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 1: Fauci is going to be for anybody who's watching and 195 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,560 Speaker 1: being honest about this, is going to be proven to 196 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 1: be essentially a giant fraud in this whole process. He's 197 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 1: been wrong. He's been wrong numerous times. Here's a fact 198 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 1: for you, Doctor Fauci lied to the American people about 199 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 1: masks by his own admission, because he thought that that 200 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 1: was a better thing for us to go through when 201 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,439 Speaker 1: he said don't wear masks and then said, oh, it's 202 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 1: because I thought we'd run out of masks, Okay, so 203 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 1: he lied. This guy's a liar. This is the whole 204 00:12:55,000 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 1: the Truth and Science administration. This guy deceived the American public. 205 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 1: But really the truth is that he didn't deceive the 206 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:07,600 Speaker 1: American public the way he said. It's that all of science, 207 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,839 Speaker 1: until about five minutes ago, thought that wearing a mask 208 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 1: and a pandemic like this wasn't going to have the 209 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 1: kind of beneficial result. That doesn't mean no benefit, but 210 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 1: wouldn't have the kind of beneficial results we keep being 211 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:25,680 Speaker 1: led to believe mask mandates will because it's become part 212 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,520 Speaker 1: of the religion. Now, that's not to say there's no 213 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 1: truth to it. That's not to say that I'm telling 214 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,559 Speaker 1: you that they don't work at all or no. N 215 00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 1: ninety five masks and a clinical setting absolutely help with 216 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 1: respiratory infections a disease, no question, and in some situations 217 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 1: maybe a cloth mask would also have not the same benefit, 218 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,560 Speaker 1: but some benefit, but as a means of stopping the pandemic. 219 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:49,720 Speaker 1: Has it worked? Look around you. I'm in Masks Central 220 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,199 Speaker 1: here in New York City. Has it stopped the virus? 221 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,719 Speaker 1: Has it stopped the pandemic or even come close to it? No, 222 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,960 Speaker 1: we're setting all time records, but we didn't do it enough. 223 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 1: That's why you're seeing. You can find them yourself to 224 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,719 Speaker 1: two or three articles now coming out last last week 225 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,319 Speaker 1: from the New York Times alone time a double mask, 226 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 1: gotta I'm not making this up. Got a double mask. Well, 227 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:16,200 Speaker 1: you can see if you go back on my Twitter account, 228 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 1: just to give you a sense. Somehow I can tell 229 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 1: what's coming. Somehow I know what's going to happen here. 230 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 1: But you go back in my Twitter account and you 231 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 1: see that I said on December tenth. Here we are 232 00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 1: now it is January twenty fifth, I tweeted on December tenth. 233 00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 1: Sometime in about mid January, when cases are still very high, 234 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 1: despite all the painful lockdown insanity, there will be an 235 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 1: n ninety five. Masks are actually far more effective. We 236 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 1: should have advocated for those all along. Moment of recognition 237 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:54,680 Speaker 1: from the experts. Well, I shared yesterday a story from 238 00:14:55,480 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 1: from CNN that says that Germany has mandated only medical 239 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 1: grade masks. Why because those homemade cloth masks that are 240 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 1: so effective at blocking COVID, they're like, well, actually they 241 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:11,320 Speaker 1: don't look like they're that effective. And one large German state, Bavaria, 242 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 1: has mandated N ninety five masks only. So now it's 243 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,560 Speaker 1: if you're not wearing an N ninety five mask, you 244 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 1: can't even get on mass transit. You can't go into 245 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:24,560 Speaker 1: public places, not even one of those medical grade you know, 246 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 1: two ply fabric masks gotta be N ninety five. Why 247 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:31,080 Speaker 1: did I know this was going to happen. I'm not 248 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 1: a doctor, I'm not a blue check MD. I'm not 249 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,680 Speaker 1: one of these these pandemic epidemiologists they keep putting on 250 00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 1: CNN every five minutes. Why did I know this was 251 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:42,480 Speaker 1: going to happen? Because I know what the arguments are here, 252 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 1: and I know that they keep on being wrong and 253 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 1: ignoring it and saying, shut up, were your mask, It's 254 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,840 Speaker 1: gonna save us. Okay, hasn't saved us yet, has it? 255 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 1: So what do they do? They change the argument and 256 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 1: then if you question them, you're the problem. Doctor Fauci 257 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 1: was the beginning of this. He said, don't wear the masks. 258 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,280 Speaker 1: And then people said, hold on a second. You know 259 00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 1: you now say wear them, and he says, well, I 260 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:11,520 Speaker 1: had to lie to you for your own good. An 261 00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:16,760 Speaker 1: administration is that is ruled by science. That's what he said, 262 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 1: ruled by science. You don't think that Fauci's a power 263 00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 1: mad little maniac. Now you know. He's the highest paid 264 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 1: employee in the federal government, makes more than a four 265 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,080 Speaker 1: star general, makes more than the president of the United States. 266 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 1: He's making over four hundred thousand dollars a year. It's 267 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 1: a great gig to have, basically unfireable. He's been sitting 268 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 1: there for decades. It's going to lots of meetings making 269 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:41,880 Speaker 1: bad policy decisions under the guise of the rule of science. 270 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 1: The CDC with this whole thing, has been a disaster, 271 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 1: a disaster, and it's because it's a decades long, decades 272 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:56,280 Speaker 1: long in the making, federal bureaucratic screw up, because there's 273 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 1: no accountability, because you don't want government in charge of 274 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 1: things because they don't do a good job. But oh, 275 00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,440 Speaker 1: that's right, we'll be ruled by science, he says, as 276 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:08,160 Speaker 1: if that's all that's all that has to be said. 277 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:11,439 Speaker 1: And then beyond that, we're supposed to just be quiet 278 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:15,480 Speaker 1: and listen, do as you're told. Oh, okay, we'll get 279 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:17,399 Speaker 1: into Gavin Newsom all of a sudden is going to 280 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:20,639 Speaker 1: open up California. Are the cases so different? There? Is 281 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,119 Speaker 1: it such a different situation? And if we're going to 282 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,920 Speaker 1: be ruled by the science, explain to me the science 283 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:31,720 Speaker 1: of not allowing the Keystone XEL pipeline, which Biden just 284 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,560 Speaker 1: shot down. The whole project is now scrapped by Executive 285 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:38,480 Speaker 1: FIAT not allowing the Keystone XEL pipeline when the State 286 00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 1: Department's analysis under the Obama administration was that blocking Keystone 287 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 1: would increase CO two emissions. That's right, increase by blocking. 288 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:56,480 Speaker 1: But they're doing it anyway, ruled by science, they say, sure. 289 00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:00,679 Speaker 1: This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Join the conversation 290 00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:04,959 Speaker 1: and message Buck on Facebook, Instagram, or email Team Bucket 291 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:08,520 Speaker 1: iHeartMedia dot com. He may read it on the show. Well, 292 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:11,840 Speaker 1: I mean, obviously it was it was not an easy situation. 293 00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:18,680 Speaker 1: I always did speak based on the data and the science, 294 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:24,359 Speaker 1: but obviously there was pressure about messaging that, and you know, 295 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:30,000 Speaker 1: I have I took no pleasure in having to sometimes publicly, 296 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 1: even with the President there to contradict what he was saying. 297 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:38,080 Speaker 1: But I felt as a scientist, I had to be 298 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 1: true to myself and true to the science to make 299 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,120 Speaker 1: sure that where there were things that I thought might 300 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 1: be misinformation, that I would have to correct that. And 301 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 1: there were a number of instances of that. That is 302 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 1: not a comfortable situation, you know. It also was in 303 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:59,399 Speaker 1: a comfortable situation for doctor Fauci is being in the 304 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,120 Speaker 1: position that you're supposed to have been preparing for your 305 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:08,359 Speaker 1: whole life and just being a disaster, having no real plan, 306 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:15,120 Speaker 1: no answers, just being a political megaphone of fear. I mean, 307 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,280 Speaker 1: I'm hearing people now who say, yes, buck, you know what, 308 00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,760 Speaker 1: This is what democrats will tell you. Sure, some of 309 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:25,359 Speaker 1: the pandemic theater that we go through is idiotic. Sure, 310 00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:29,240 Speaker 1: some of the things that we're being told to do 311 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:33,000 Speaker 1: make no sense, won't change anything, and it's absurd. But 312 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:37,720 Speaker 1: it's about conditioning the public to respond to health commands 313 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 1: like this. Oh so it's Pavlovian. It's like we're all 314 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,560 Speaker 1: a bunch of dogs getting our treat from the government. 315 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 1: Maybe we get patted on the head afterwards. This is 316 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,760 Speaker 1: what democrats who are being honest will openly tell you now, well, 317 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:54,080 Speaker 1: it's really sure. Maybe what you're doing makes no sense, 318 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:58,440 Speaker 1: but if everybody does something nonsensical about COVID, then there 319 00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:01,680 Speaker 1: might be some benefit that comes from it. That's worth 320 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,280 Speaker 1: all the nonsense for you. Tell that to the people 321 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 1: who have lost their jobs, you know, Tell that to 322 00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 1: the people who are losing family members to severe depression 323 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:13,200 Speaker 1: and to suicide, to the kids who are losing developmental 324 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 1: time in school that will never be able to get 325 00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:20,800 Speaker 1: back all the costs that we're willing to take on apparently, 326 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:23,840 Speaker 1: or are we, because now all of a sudden, some 327 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,320 Speaker 1: blue states are saying, you know what, we might have 328 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:30,439 Speaker 1: to reopen soon. Oh we'll get into that in a moment, 329 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,640 Speaker 1: because I first want to start with the ruled by 330 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:38,680 Speaker 1: science bullcrap here when it comes to the Keystone XL pipeline. 331 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:43,160 Speaker 1: Just as a quick review, the enviral wackos have decided 332 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:47,159 Speaker 1: this is this is gonna be like waterloo for the 333 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,480 Speaker 1: fossil fuel industry. They think this is the single most 334 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,160 Speaker 1: important battle they can wage, and they're all celebrating now, 335 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 1: and they got you know, Native American groups in on this, 336 00:20:56,200 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 1: and all all the left wing virtue signaling nonsense piled 337 00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 1: together here to stop the Keystone Xcel pipeline. By way 338 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:08,720 Speaker 1: of quick review, the Keystone Xcel pipeline would take the 339 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:16,600 Speaker 1: oil sands from the from Canada, from Alberta and take 340 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 1: them all the way down to the US Gulf Coast. 341 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,919 Speaker 1: That's what that's the whole thing, right, And it's a pipeline. 342 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:31,000 Speaker 1: And the truth is that this would have just been 343 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:34,359 Speaker 1: a very efficient way because we refine it so we 344 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:36,160 Speaker 1: would have a refinery agreement with them, and then we'd 345 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:38,439 Speaker 1: be able to distribute it to the whole world. This 346 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,480 Speaker 1: would be a very effective and efficient way to get 347 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:46,679 Speaker 1: the oil to market. And despite the Left's best intentions otherwise, 348 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 1: we have become America has become, because of fracking in energy, 349 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 1: a true energy superpower. We're really the world's global preeminent 350 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,240 Speaker 1: energy superpower. You don't hear about that because about half 351 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 1: the country Democrats are so brain washed that they think 352 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:05,040 Speaker 1: that's not something to be proud of. It absolutely is. 353 00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 1: It's the reason we have so much productivity. The fossil 354 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 1: fuel industry is used in the creation fifty percent of oil, 355 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:18,439 Speaker 1: for example, and fossil fuel is used for products and 356 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,920 Speaker 1: is used in the distribution of products, you know, distribution 357 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:25,959 Speaker 1: of things like vaccine. That's right. Want you want an 358 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:31,080 Speaker 1: effective vaccination distribution program, you need a lot of energy 359 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 1: for logistics. You need a lot of energy in order 360 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,879 Speaker 1: to keep that temperature at negative whatever it is, a 361 00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:44,439 Speaker 1: degree celsius so that the vaccine can stay viable. And 362 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:46,399 Speaker 1: you need money for all of this, and it becomes 363 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,880 Speaker 1: more expensive when oil and fossil fuels are more expensive. 364 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:55,400 Speaker 1: They are fighting the modern economy itself, which is an absurdity. 365 00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:58,320 Speaker 1: And they pretend that they're doing in the name of science, 366 00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:02,360 Speaker 1: which is laughable. Do you know what the net CO 367 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,960 Speaker 1: two benefit of blocking the Keystone XL pipeline. According to 368 00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:10,880 Speaker 1: multiple full State Department reviews, because this is an international deal, 369 00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 1: the State Department got to review it, including under the 370 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:18,120 Speaker 1: Obama administration, the net CO two change is either negligible 371 00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:23,080 Speaker 1: to zero or negative, meaning that this oil is still 372 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 1: going to come out of the ground. It's just going 373 00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:29,439 Speaker 1: to be taken in tankers and trucks to market instead 374 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,159 Speaker 1: of with a pipeline, which is far more efficient and 375 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 1: far more cost effective and also less like eutherapy leakage 376 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:41,480 Speaker 1: and spills which affect the environment. The Keystone XL pipeline 377 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:46,320 Speaker 1: blockage is worse for everyone in every way. It is 378 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:49,199 Speaker 1: worse for the environment, It is worse for business. It 379 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:52,800 Speaker 1: is worse for you because of what it means for jobs, 380 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:56,800 Speaker 1: for the economy, and for energy costs. But Democrats are 381 00:23:56,840 --> 00:24:03,240 Speaker 1: blocking it anyway. Why because they ken because the envirol 382 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:07,000 Speaker 1: wackos have convinced themselves that this is a battle they 383 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 1: have to win. They have to show that they have 384 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:15,400 Speaker 1: the power even when all science and reason are against them, 385 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,560 Speaker 1: even when there is no data to support their point 386 00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:23,640 Speaker 1: of view. They have to find a situation like this 387 00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:27,359 Speaker 1: where they can rally together and get the government to 388 00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:32,240 Speaker 1: shut down something because they don't like it. Oil is ikey, 389 00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:38,719 Speaker 1: fossil fuel bad. Shut it down. It's childish, it's destructive, 390 00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,720 Speaker 1: it's stupid, and it's the first thing that Biden does 391 00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:44,199 Speaker 1: day one in office, signs an executive order on this 392 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:48,400 Speaker 1: to stop the Keystone x ALL pipeline. There's no good 393 00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:51,880 Speaker 1: faith argument about why to shut this thing down compared 394 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,639 Speaker 1: to the alternatives, if it's really about the environment, unless 395 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 1: they're gonna say, oh, it's because there would definitely be 396 00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,840 Speaker 1: some kind of an oil disaster. They don't know that, 397 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 1: and pipelines are far less likely to have spills and 398 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:08,440 Speaker 1: disasters than other forms of transport. Yeah, how many horrible 399 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 1: oil pipeline disasters have you heard. You've heard of tankard disasters, right, 400 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:17,120 Speaker 1: transit point disasters when it involves vehicles. But how many 401 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:22,040 Speaker 1: pipeline disasters have you heard about in the United States recently? Yeah? Exactly. 402 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:27,040 Speaker 1: But this was the left flexing the environmentalists left, and 403 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:30,720 Speaker 1: they're a religious group. You have to understand that the 404 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 1: climate change activists, the anti pipeline activists, this is a 405 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:39,360 Speaker 1: religious group of people who think they're too smart for religion, 406 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,439 Speaker 1: and so for them, it's just all about the victory. 407 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:46,919 Speaker 1: It's all about enforcing their will on the rest of 408 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:50,080 Speaker 1: the American people and establishing that they have the power 409 00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:53,040 Speaker 1: to do that, even if it just means that the 410 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:59,040 Speaker 1: outcomes are negative for everyone involved, which they are. This somehow, 411 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,119 Speaker 1: just like the BLA movement, which I said to you 412 00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:05,480 Speaker 1: last summer, makes everything worse for everyone. There is no improvement. 413 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:09,080 Speaker 1: It makes nothing better for people, doesn't make things better 414 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,280 Speaker 1: for minorities, doesn't make things better for the police, doesn't 415 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 1: make things better for just Americans. Blocking the Keystone XIL 416 00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:17,879 Speaker 1: pipeline is the same thing for the left, but it 417 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 1: shows you the mentality. This is just going to make 418 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 1: energy costs higher. This is going to cost lots of jobs. 419 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,920 Speaker 1: And it won't even if you believe that CO two 420 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,000 Speaker 1: is going to melt the planet over time or whatever, 421 00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:34,320 Speaker 1: if you're a climate change alarmist, alarmist, this does not 422 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:40,480 Speaker 1: stop the oil sands of Alberta from producing fossil fuels 423 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:42,119 Speaker 1: that will make it to the global market. So it's 424 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,000 Speaker 1: the same either way. In fact that the distribution of 425 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:48,359 Speaker 1: that oil sand now will require more fossil fuel. Therefore 426 00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:51,440 Speaker 1: they'll be more CO two in the air. But they're 427 00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:56,960 Speaker 1: doing it anyway because they're fixated on it, because they 428 00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 1: want to wield power. Because we said, we don't like it. 429 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,480 Speaker 1: This is the ruled by science people, right, we don't 430 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:08,480 Speaker 1: like it, so we're gonna stop. It doesn't make any 431 00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:11,520 Speaker 1: sense and it's not the do you think, doctor Fouch 432 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:13,520 Speaker 1: it's gonna say. You know, turns out if you look 433 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,440 Speaker 1: at the data and all the you know, and all 434 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,399 Speaker 1: these scientists that look at the Keystone XCEL and the 435 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 1: CEO two, you know, if you look at it, No, 436 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,760 Speaker 1: he's not, of course, not for the same reason that 437 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,399 Speaker 1: Fauci won't say open up all the schools, for the 438 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:32,320 Speaker 1: same reason that Fauci won't say that wearing masks outside 439 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:37,639 Speaker 1: is mandating outdoor mask wearing is dumb and counterproductive. He 440 00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:42,639 Speaker 1: won't say that because he exists as a kind of 441 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:47,960 Speaker 1: you know, little a little genie of left wing democrat 442 00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:52,320 Speaker 1: science demagoguery, you know, rub the lamp, and Fauci appears 443 00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 1: to tell the Democrats exactly what they want to hear 444 00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,720 Speaker 1: about science, never tells them what they don't want to hear. 445 00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,320 Speaker 1: You're in the freedom Mine. Thanks for listening to The 446 00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:05,320 Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show podcast. Get the latest from Bucket Bucksexton 447 00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:10,400 Speaker 1: dot com. These channels are more Antidemocrat than they are 448 00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:14,000 Speaker 1: pro Trump, and the Biden bashing has been turned up 449 00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:17,399 Speaker 1: to eleven and twelve and thirteen. So has the media bashing. 450 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:18,919 Speaker 1: By the way, take a look at this some of 451 00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,720 Speaker 1: the banners from Fox's air in the past few days. 452 00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:25,320 Speaker 1: Fox a huge member of the national news media, pretending 453 00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:26,840 Speaker 1: like it's not a member of the media at all, 454 00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:30,400 Speaker 1: claiming that the media is out to praise Biden, fawn 455 00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:34,240 Speaker 1: over Biden. He's the media's messiah. Every hour, every day, 456 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:36,800 Speaker 1: that's the narrative, and it's gonna be like this for 457 00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:40,840 Speaker 1: the next four years. So Biden can talk about politics 458 00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,680 Speaker 1: not needing to be a raging fire, that the fire 459 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:48,000 Speaker 1: doesn't have to be raging, but it is. It is today, 460 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:50,320 Speaker 1: and it was yesterday and it will be tomorrow. On 461 00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:54,320 Speaker 1: these shows that millions of people watch. Unity is impossible. Okay, 462 00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:58,920 Speaker 1: the United States is living in this parallel there's parallel 463 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:02,000 Speaker 1: universes within the United States. Unity is not Feasible's not. 464 00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:05,360 Speaker 1: But can the temperature be lowered just two or three degrees? 465 00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:08,800 Speaker 1: Wouldn't that help? Isn't that possible? Wouldn't it be better 466 00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:11,040 Speaker 1: if you just gave up all the things that you 467 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:14,719 Speaker 1: want to need and add submit to the rule of 468 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:19,080 Speaker 1: science at CTED. The rule of science at CNN has 469 00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:20,880 Speaker 1: a good rind to it, doesn't it? Yes, it does. 470 00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:24,360 Speaker 1: Why are you saying that the media is so nice, Debided? 471 00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:29,120 Speaker 1: We're super hard at bided. Yeah. I noticed that the 472 00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:33,000 Speaker 1: problem is just that there's one channel that is pointing 473 00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:36,200 Speaker 1: out that all the other channels are giving Biden a 474 00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:40,440 Speaker 1: BackRub on air constantly. There's one but one channel saying, 475 00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:42,400 Speaker 1: look what these other channels are doing. That's not allowed. 476 00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:47,840 Speaker 1: Should there be any opposition media whatsoever under a bid administration? 477 00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:50,800 Speaker 1: Really ask yourself that question. The journals in this country 478 00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:54,000 Speaker 1: are so pathetic. There's such little quizzlings that they seem 479 00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:58,440 Speaker 1: to think that the real service they can provide is 480 00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:03,040 Speaker 1: to be cheerleaders f an administration that has ninety five 481 00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:07,880 Speaker 1: percent of the information purveyors out there in media, news 482 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:11,480 Speaker 1: and journalism to be completely on their team. That's what 483 00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:14,280 Speaker 1: we're told, that's the way it should be. That's a 484 00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:17,080 Speaker 1: that's a better way forward. I mean, this is laughable. 485 00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:19,959 Speaker 1: This is what they do, this is what they demand, 486 00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:27,760 Speaker 1: absolutely absurd. So with that, I also want to point 487 00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:31,240 Speaker 1: out that now they're having these Trump is gone, let's 488 00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:37,280 Speaker 1: have the high priests and priestesses of the science bureaucracies 489 00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:40,280 Speaker 1: come forward to speak to us about what's really happening 490 00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:45,200 Speaker 1: in the country, including doctor Deborah Burke's best known I 491 00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:48,920 Speaker 1: think for wearing colorful scarves at the at the meetings 492 00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:53,000 Speaker 1: that she was a frequent participant in the early days 493 00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:57,600 Speaker 1: of the COVID pandemic. Here she is play play play six. 494 00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:02,080 Speaker 1: Did you ever consider quitting? Oh? I mean, why would 495 00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:06,000 Speaker 1: you want to put yourself through that? On every day, 496 00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:13,160 Speaker 1: colleagues of mine that I'd known for decades, decades in 497 00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:16,080 Speaker 1: that one experience, because I was in the White House, 498 00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:21,360 Speaker 1: decided that I had become this political person, even though 499 00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:25,440 Speaker 1: they had known me forever. I had to ask myself 500 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:28,280 Speaker 1: every morning, is there something that I think I can 501 00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:32,120 Speaker 1: do that would be helpful in responding to this pandemic? 502 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:35,800 Speaker 1: And it's something I asked myself every night. And when 503 00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:40,840 Speaker 1: it became a point where I wasn't getting anywhere, and 504 00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:43,920 Speaker 1: that was like right before the election, I wrote a 505 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:47,760 Speaker 1: very detailed communication plan of what needed to happen the 506 00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:52,080 Speaker 1: day after the election and how that needed to be executed. 507 00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:55,280 Speaker 1: And there was a lot of promise that would happen 508 00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:58,480 Speaker 1: because you knew at that point that the election was 509 00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:02,280 Speaker 1: a factor in communication about the virus. Yes, did you 510 00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:06,560 Speaker 1: ever withhold information yourself? No, of course, the election was 511 00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:09,360 Speaker 1: a factor in the way the virus is being described 512 00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:13,640 Speaker 1: the entire media. I mean, CNN made its coronavirus death 513 00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:16,720 Speaker 1: counter go away when Joe Biden came into office. You 514 00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:19,920 Speaker 1: can see this, this is real, this happened, and that's 515 00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:23,960 Speaker 1: just one indicator. There are so many others. But but 516 00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:26,040 Speaker 1: now you know, doctor Burke's all this stuff they're saying 517 00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:30,520 Speaker 1: about the Trump administration. The Trump administration listened to Fauci 518 00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:34,000 Speaker 1: and Burkes. They pushed for the fifteen days to slow 519 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:37,120 Speaker 1: the spread, which was obviously preposterous now in retrospect, because 520 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:39,920 Speaker 1: it was really, you know, five months to slow the 521 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:43,080 Speaker 1: spread and then now we're back to another five months 522 00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:45,920 Speaker 1: to slow the spread. It. It was never just fifteen days, 523 00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:50,120 Speaker 1: but that's how they sold it. It was dishonest. They 524 00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:52,000 Speaker 1: were never going to let us reopen after fifteen days. 525 00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:55,280 Speaker 1: But now now you're starting to see, oh, that's right, 526 00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:58,280 Speaker 1: Joe Biden's in charge. Is everything better all of a sudden, 527 00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:04,400 Speaker 1: has the virus gone away? Force? Not? In fact, it's 528 00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:06,560 Speaker 1: it has been the worst that it's ever been recently. 529 00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:10,760 Speaker 1: And yet Burks is out there because look, they want 530 00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:14,880 Speaker 1: to be liked by the establishment. Every the establishment is 531 00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:19,360 Speaker 1: so powerful. It's money, it's prestige, it's how people treat you. Right, 532 00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:22,080 Speaker 1: you want the establishment on your side if you can 533 00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:24,360 Speaker 1: have it. If you're one of these public health officials, 534 00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:27,600 Speaker 1: I get it. I understand same things true in media. 535 00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:29,880 Speaker 1: By the way, do you don't have any more options 536 00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:33,040 Speaker 1: I would have with my career, right? Now if I 537 00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:36,680 Speaker 1: just became a kind of even a sort of moderate 538 00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:39,880 Speaker 1: controlled opposition Republican. Yeah, I say with the Democrats, I 539 00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:41,440 Speaker 1: kind of talk them sometimes, But I say with the 540 00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:44,800 Speaker 1: Democrats mostly want me to say, go on so many 541 00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:47,320 Speaker 1: more channels and you know, you get a bigger book 542 00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:50,360 Speaker 1: deal and all this stuff. Burks knows that, and that's 543 00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:53,040 Speaker 1: why she's got to come out now and say all 544 00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:57,400 Speaker 1: this stuff. When she and Fauci were failures with a 545 00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:01,560 Speaker 1: big f failures in the way they came up with 546 00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:03,760 Speaker 1: a response the pandemic, everything about it, it was, it 547 00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:07,920 Speaker 1: was absurd. Here she is talking about the parallel data 548 00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:11,600 Speaker 1: Play five. Do you think President Trump appreciated the gravity 549 00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:15,440 Speaker 1: of the health crisis you were describing. I think the 550 00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:21,160 Speaker 1: President appreciated the gravity. In March, it took a while 551 00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:24,600 Speaker 1: after I wrapped in the White House to remove all 552 00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:28,000 Speaker 1: of the answer Larry data that was coming in. I mean, 553 00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:32,120 Speaker 1: there was parallel data stream coming into the White House 554 00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:38,839 Speaker 1: that were not transparently utilized, and I needed to stop that. 555 00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:44,680 Speaker 1: We're apewing outside advisors, outside advisors coming to inside advisors. 556 00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:47,560 Speaker 1: And to this day, I mean until the day I left, 557 00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:51,040 Speaker 1: I am I'm convinced there were parallel data streams because 558 00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:54,759 Speaker 1: I disinformation. I saw the President presenting graphs that I 559 00:34:54,840 --> 00:35:00,520 Speaker 1: never made, So I know that someone are, someone out 560 00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:04,960 Speaker 1: here there or someone inside was creating a parallel set 561 00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:08,480 Speaker 1: of data and graph eggs that were shown to the president. 562 00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:11,600 Speaker 1: I know what I sent up, and I know that 563 00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:14,680 Speaker 1: what was in his hands was different from that who 564 00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:20,440 Speaker 1: name names doctor Burkes, won't you This is Buck's first thoughts. 565 00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:22,360 Speaker 1: The news You need to get through your day in 566 00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:25,440 Speaker 1: forty five minutes. Make sure you subscribe on the iHeart 567 00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:30,440 Speaker 1: app or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm hopeful that 568 00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:33,920 Speaker 1: members are going to be open minded, that they are 569 00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:37,160 Speaker 1: going to when they raise their hand and take that oath, 570 00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:41,520 Speaker 1: that they're going to view the evidence that is presented 571 00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:44,319 Speaker 1: to them, and that they're going to do the right thing. 572 00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:50,000 Speaker 1: I cannot be moved by the mascinations of politics that 573 00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:53,360 Speaker 1: are going on in the interim while we're trying to 574 00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:56,239 Speaker 1: put this together. I think that you know, we're going 575 00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:58,799 Speaker 1: to be speaking to all one hundred centers. We're not 576 00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:01,000 Speaker 1: going to be speaking to one group or the other. 577 00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:05,120 Speaker 1: And I'm hopeful that they're going to do what's necessary 578 00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:10,440 Speaker 1: to truly unify this country, and that unification can happen 579 00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:16,080 Speaker 1: until there was a reckoning for crimes against it. Unify 580 00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:20,879 Speaker 1: by having one side purge the other of its most 581 00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:26,400 Speaker 1: recent president. Unify by bending the knee and surrendering and 582 00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:30,160 Speaker 1: promising that you'll be a meek and mild and submissive 583 00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:36,440 Speaker 1: Republican party going forward. That's the pathway to unity. And 584 00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:40,200 Speaker 1: as Chuck Schumer now said, a majority leader, good God, 585 00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:43,080 Speaker 1: as he says it, that's the only way also to 586 00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:46,279 Speaker 1: have accountability. Play that clip. Everyone wants to put this 587 00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:50,319 Speaker 1: awful chapter in American history behind us, but sweeping it 588 00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:53,680 Speaker 1: under the rug will not bring healing. The only way 589 00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:58,600 Speaker 1: to bring healing is to actually have real accountability, which 590 00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:02,799 Speaker 1: this trial affords. And so we will move forward with 591 00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:06,800 Speaker 1: the trial. It will be fair, but it will move 592 00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:15,399 Speaker 1: at a relatively fast pace. Unity through your side being 593 00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:20,080 Speaker 1: further humiliated. Isn't it amazing? Everybody wants to put this 594 00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:22,560 Speaker 1: in their rear view mirror, but let's all focus on 595 00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:25,040 Speaker 1: it for the next few weeks. This is what they're 596 00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:28,399 Speaker 1: telling you. Would it be like saying, you know, I know, 597 00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:32,040 Speaker 1: you've been out in the sun too long and you're burning, 598 00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:35,279 Speaker 1: but stay out for another two hours, because that's the 599 00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:39,040 Speaker 1: best way to handle it. This is insane. This is 600 00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:42,480 Speaker 1: what they're telling you. They've got to justify this somehow, 601 00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:46,000 Speaker 1: And they've got a problem here because anybody who's looking 602 00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:49,719 Speaker 1: at what's happening with a reasonable eye would say, hold 603 00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:55,160 Speaker 1: on unity. Unity for our purposes here is going to 604 00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:59,920 Speaker 1: mean doing the most divisive thing that can possibly do 605 00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:03,879 Speaker 1: at this stage, to go after a former president. This 606 00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:07,279 Speaker 1: is because they want to bar him from office. This 607 00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:10,480 Speaker 1: is not because justice demands it. This is not because 608 00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:12,680 Speaker 1: they want that Trump do. They want Trump to be 609 00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:19,320 Speaker 1: the first president in history, in history to be convicted 610 00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:22,600 Speaker 1: by a Senate trial as part of the impeachment process 611 00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:25,480 Speaker 1: and to be barred from running for future office. That's 612 00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:29,040 Speaker 1: because they want to destroy the Trump movement right now, 613 00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:32,720 Speaker 1: and they know that if they get this against the father, 614 00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:35,680 Speaker 1: than any of his children, anyone else in the Trump 615 00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:39,440 Speaker 1: world that wants to run will have to deal with this. Now. 616 00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:41,400 Speaker 1: Perhaps it'll backfire. I know some of you would make 617 00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:44,560 Speaker 1: that argument that this would then catapult Ivanka or Don 618 00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:47,120 Speaker 1: Junior or somebody else to the front of the line 619 00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:50,200 Speaker 1: for the GOP. I'm not confident that that's the case, 620 00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:54,840 Speaker 1: and I think that there's I think that the political 621 00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:59,640 Speaker 1: skills that Donald Trump Senior has are not necessarily transferable 622 00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:04,080 Speaker 1: through you know, pure genetics to whoever else comes along 623 00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:08,640 Speaker 1: with the name Trump. But I could be wrong on that. Well, No, 624 00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:10,799 Speaker 1: I don't think I'm wrong on that, but I'm open 625 00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:14,640 Speaker 1: to seeing how this plays out. That all said, they 626 00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:16,600 Speaker 1: want to make sure that Donald Trump can't run again 627 00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:19,000 Speaker 1: because they know he can win again. And we know 628 00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:23,319 Speaker 1: that that's a possibility too, And this is why they're 629 00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:27,239 Speaker 1: doing everything they can to to tell you something that 630 00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:31,160 Speaker 1: you know, as soon as it said to you is bs. 631 00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:33,440 Speaker 1: You know that what they're saying as a false narrative, 632 00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:37,000 Speaker 1: but they have no way around it. Let's all come 633 00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:42,799 Speaker 1: together here through a divisive process. Let's lower the temperature 634 00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:51,719 Speaker 1: by turning the temperature up. That's what post presidency conviction 635 00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:55,040 Speaker 1: would be here. And this is what they offer up. 636 00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:57,960 Speaker 1: This is their their promise to all of us. And 637 00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:03,040 Speaker 1: it's not only it's not only the Democrats who are 638 00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:06,600 Speaker 1: saying this stuff. I mean there are different levels among 639 00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:09,840 Speaker 1: the Republicans. You've got Romney, who's now effectively a Democrat. 640 00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:11,560 Speaker 1: I mean, Romney has made his bed. Now we should 641 00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:15,400 Speaker 1: sleep in and Romney as a Democrat. He's a moderate Democrat. 642 00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:20,000 Speaker 1: That's what this guy has become. Marches with BLM turns on. 643 00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:23,080 Speaker 1: I mean, remember he voted. He would have more credibility 644 00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:25,160 Speaker 1: with me now if he had had enough sense to 645 00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:30,040 Speaker 1: not vote to impeach Trump and remove Trump the first 646 00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:33,240 Speaker 1: time around over the Ukraine phone call, which was absurd, 647 00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:39,200 Speaker 1: that that was just the whole problem. It was entirely bonkers, 648 00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:43,719 Speaker 1: unserious stuff. But that is what Romney went for. Here 649 00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:46,680 Speaker 1: he is telling us again, he's parroting the Chuck Schumer lines. 650 00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:50,960 Speaker 1: It's like Chuck Schumer's handing him the script, Romney saying 651 00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:53,600 Speaker 1: that the way to bring us all together is to 652 00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:57,440 Speaker 1: spit in the face of seventy five million Trump voters. Yeah, 653 00:40:57,480 --> 00:41:02,040 Speaker 1: play eleven. Well, worldly going to have a trial. I 654 00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:05,560 Speaker 1: wish that weren't necessary, But the president's conduct with regards 655 00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:08,520 Speaker 1: to the call the Secretary of State raffensburgher in Georgia, 656 00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:12,560 Speaker 1: as well as the incitation towards the insurrection that led 657 00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:15,520 Speaker 1: to the attack on the Capitol calls for a trial. 658 00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:18,320 Speaker 1: And you know, if we're going to have a unity 659 00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:20,440 Speaker 1: in our country, I think it's important to recognize the 660 00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:24,799 Speaker 1: need for accountability for truth and justice. So I think 661 00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:26,640 Speaker 1: there will be a trial and I hope it goes 662 00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:28,880 Speaker 1: as quickly as possible, but that's up to the council 663 00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:34,600 Speaker 1: on both sides. Yeah, there will be a trial. Unity, accountability. 664 00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:38,360 Speaker 1: These are the words you're going to hear. What about 665 00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:41,040 Speaker 1: the old president that we have of You don't go 666 00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:45,440 Speaker 1: back and look for prosecutions of the former administration. Donald 667 00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:49,040 Speaker 1: Trump could could have pushed for and his dj could 668 00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:53,280 Speaker 1: have gotten a criminal trial brought against Hillary Clinton for example, 669 00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:55,520 Speaker 1: And I know locker up chat and everything. Some people 670 00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:59,200 Speaker 1: wanted that, but they didn't do it. Maybe disappointed a 671 00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:01,040 Speaker 1: lot of Trump voters, but they didn't do it. Why 672 00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:05,400 Speaker 1: because it sets a terrible precedent for politics in this 673 00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:11,000 Speaker 1: country to even have the even have the perception, the 674 00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:14,080 Speaker 1: belief to be out there that that one side is 675 00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:19,920 Speaker 1: weaponizing the prosecutorial apparatus against the other for political reasons. 676 00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:25,319 Speaker 1: This completely devolves a democracy. This destroys a republic, This 677 00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:29,960 Speaker 1: ruins everything because it means that you establish a winner 678 00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:36,320 Speaker 1: takeoff philosophy in politics that then becomes corrosive of everything. 679 00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:39,759 Speaker 1: It's not a temporary, peaceful transfer of power based upon 680 00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:41,920 Speaker 1: the will of the people. It's how do we make 681 00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:45,160 Speaker 1: sure we stay in charge because otherwise the other side 682 00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:48,880 Speaker 1: is going to throw us into prison. Once that becomes 683 00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:52,440 Speaker 1: the mentality, it's no longer about our sacred democracy and 684 00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:55,160 Speaker 1: who's count you know, who's who's getting to vote and 685 00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:57,040 Speaker 1: have a say in their future. It's this is just 686 00:42:57,120 --> 00:43:02,160 Speaker 1: winner take all, bare knuckle powers struggle. And that's why 687 00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:04,040 Speaker 1: we haven't done that in the past. That's why there's 688 00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:06,160 Speaker 1: you know, you even you even look at the approach 689 00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:12,399 Speaker 1: taken in in situations where there have been, uh, there 690 00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:16,480 Speaker 1: has been misconduct by politicians where you know they were 691 00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:18,160 Speaker 1: the president, and you look at Nixon, I mean the 692 00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:22,960 Speaker 1: pardon of Nixon by Ford, Nixon, Reagan, Ford and Johnson, 693 00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:25,680 Speaker 1: you know, gurgling with Gurgen. I kind of missed that guy. 694 00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:27,960 Speaker 1: But you look at all the things that go on 695 00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:31,320 Speaker 1: and you say to yourself, there's a there's a bigger 696 00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:33,200 Speaker 1: picture here that we have to keep in mind. There 697 00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:37,920 Speaker 1: are broader themes and issues at work, and that's what 698 00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:42,279 Speaker 1: is being completely cast aside now, and very conveniently, I 699 00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:48,319 Speaker 1: would add, by Democrats just pushed aside. They don't care. 700 00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:52,640 Speaker 1: They simply don't care. They think they have more important 701 00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:58,239 Speaker 1: things to do, like destroying this president. Marc Rubio takes 702 00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:01,040 Speaker 1: a kind of middle pathway here, and there's already new 703 00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:02,960 Speaker 1: stories out about how Ivanka is going to run for 704 00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:08,200 Speaker 1: his seat, so you know he's he's trying to hold 705 00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:10,600 Speaker 1: on in Florida. He's looking for his place in the 706 00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:13,360 Speaker 1: future of the party. Marco plays his cards right. He 707 00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:16,279 Speaker 1: could be a name that really carries some sway among 708 00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:18,600 Speaker 1: Republicans in the future. You don't know, you know, he 709 00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:22,400 Speaker 1: could have a second act here. But even he sees 710 00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:25,879 Speaker 1: that while it might be in his immediate interests to 711 00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:28,960 Speaker 1: turn on the Trump dynasty because of the challenge that 712 00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:33,040 Speaker 1: Ivanka would bring to him in Florida, even with that 713 00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:37,839 Speaker 1: going on, he understands that this impeachment is just a 714 00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:42,600 Speaker 1: terrible idea. Play fourteen. I think the president bears responsibility 715 00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:45,080 Speaker 1: for some of all what happened. It was most certainly 716 00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:48,640 Speaker 1: a foreseeable consequence of everything that was going on, and 717 00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:52,040 Speaker 1: I think that's widely understood. It maybe even better understood 718 00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:54,600 Speaker 1: with the perspective of time. I think that's separate from 719 00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:56,840 Speaker 1: the notion of let's revisit this all and stir it 720 00:44:56,920 --> 00:44:59,560 Speaker 1: up again. It's not you know, the stories are still 721 00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:02,360 Speaker 1: going to be there's criminal justice, investigations are going to 722 00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:04,440 Speaker 1: continue to move forward. All these things are still going 723 00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:06,560 Speaker 1: to happen. All I'm arguing is we have some really 724 00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:08,680 Speaker 1: important things to work on. You want to really kind 725 00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:11,239 Speaker 1: of bring the country together and remember once again, how 726 00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:14,399 Speaker 1: we can get things done. It isn't by uniformity on 727 00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:16,400 Speaker 1: all the issues. It's about working through a process that 728 00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:18,920 Speaker 1: allows people with different points of view to debate all 729 00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:21,120 Speaker 1: that and get to a solution for the country. All 730 00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:23,319 Speaker 1: that we're just gonna go. We're gonna jump right back 731 00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:25,560 Speaker 1: into what we've been going through the last five years 732 00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:27,839 Speaker 1: and stirring it up again with the trial. And it's 733 00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:29,759 Speaker 1: just going to be bad for the country. It really is. 734 00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:33,520 Speaker 1: It absolutely is, and anybody who anybody who's being honest 735 00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:36,640 Speaker 1: can see that. But for Democrats, this isn't about what's 736 00:45:36,719 --> 00:45:40,520 Speaker 1: best for the country. We know that they're bitter still 737 00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:44,760 Speaker 1: about Trump. The media is by and large angry still 738 00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:47,040 Speaker 1: because of what Donald Trump said about them, did to them, 739 00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:49,640 Speaker 1: the way he used his Twitter account to slap them down. 740 00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:54,680 Speaker 1: They haven't forgotten that they want payback. This is all 741 00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:58,320 Speaker 1: about payback now for a lot of Democrats for others 742 00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:02,319 Speaker 1: is also payback plus control of the future and making 743 00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:06,400 Speaker 1: sure that Donald Trump is unable to run for office 744 00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:09,920 Speaker 1: ever again. And think about the stain that would leave 745 00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:12,200 Speaker 1: on the Republican Party too. We'd be the only party 746 00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:15,080 Speaker 1: that has a president given everything we've seen in the 747 00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:17,600 Speaker 1: two hundred plus year history of this country. Would be 748 00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:20,960 Speaker 1: the only political party to have a president who not 749 00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:23,920 Speaker 1: only is impeached after leaving office, but is impeached and 750 00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:26,600 Speaker 1: loses in a senate trial. By the way, I don't 751 00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:31,480 Speaker 1: think that he will lose in this Senate trial, but 752 00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:35,440 Speaker 1: in the attempt, then all they get is further division. 753 00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:38,320 Speaker 1: I think that the Republicans know that if Mitch McConnell 754 00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:41,200 Speaker 1: knows this, if they go for it and they fail, 755 00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:45,080 Speaker 1: come at the King you best not miss. And the 756 00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:46,440 Speaker 1: Trumpster does not forget
