Speaker 1: This is Buck's first thoughts. The news you need to
Speaker 1: get for your day in forty five minutes. Make sure
Speaker 1: you subscribe on the iHeart Act or wherever you get
Speaker 1: your podcasts. I thought we were supposed to be unified.
Speaker 1: I thought they were going to bring us all together,
Speaker 1: that we were entering a new phase in the history
Speaker 1: of the country, or at least in the recent history,
Speaker 1: where we were all supposed to be buddies united, coming
Speaker 1: together in this new technocratic, competent, calm Biden administration. Right,
Speaker 1: that was the promise. And now what you're already seeing
Speaker 1: is that the Biden people aren't as smart as they
Speaker 1: told you they would be, don't give a crap about unity,
Speaker 1: and are actually ideologues driven by their desire to play
Speaker 1: kate the fringe interests that have so much control within
Speaker 1: the Democrat Party, whether it's on identity politics, environmental issues,
Speaker 1: social justice, all these things. It's not the presidency they
Speaker 1: said we'd get. But if you knew that was the case,
Speaker 1: it was always a lie. It was always meant to
Speaker 1: convince medium to low information suburban voters in some key states.
Speaker 1: You'll just have a return to normalcy. That's what they said.
Speaker 1: A return to normalcy. Well, it turns out that's not
Speaker 1: what we're getting. What we're getting is the return of
Speaker 1: the Obama administration. That's what's really happening here. That's the
Speaker 1: reality of what has now taken power. And you see
Speaker 1: this with every decision being made so far, and also
Speaker 1: all the people who are in charge, the people that
Speaker 1: are making the decisions right now, who are making the
Speaker 1: calls about everything that's happening, are very similar and in
Speaker 1: some cases the same as those who were doing it
Speaker 1: during the Obama years. Do you remember the Obama years?
Speaker 1: Was there a lot of national healing? Did it really
Speaker 1: bring us all together? There were race riots during the
Speaker 1: Obama Obama presidency, as you remember the BLM protests started. Then,
Speaker 1: there were there was economic malaise at best, the slowest
Speaker 1: recovery out of a recession since the Great Depression. There
Speaker 1: was a lot of unnecessary government regulation and harassment of
Speaker 1: people in their day to day lives. There was oppression
Speaker 1: of religious freedom, there was suppression of free speech. You're
Speaker 1: getting all that just coming back under a different name,
Speaker 1: but the same idea. And this is why I think
Speaker 1: it's so interesting that they want to continue to fixate
Speaker 1: on the Trump presidency, because I think that they never
Speaker 1: really thought beyond what happens when there's no longer the
Speaker 1: Trump boogeyman for everyone to be terrified of what happens
Speaker 1: at that phase, at that point when you can't just well,
Speaker 1: they're not letting it go. That's why you have this
Speaker 1: impeachment that they're going to do after a Trump presidency
Speaker 1: has already ended. Joe Biden I was gonna say, for
Speaker 1: better or for worse, it's for worse is now the
Speaker 1: president United States. This is an absurd spectacle. We all
Speaker 1: understand this. I mean, you could have replaced Joe Biden
Speaker 1: with forty other sub mediocre Democrat politicians. It'd be basically
Speaker 1: the same thing, just anybody. But Trump was what they
Speaker 1: ran with, and that's what they were able to pull off.
Speaker 1: And now we see what they're really going to be doing,
Speaker 1: and now we see what the actual decision making will
Speaker 1: be like. And that's why with this impeachment situation, they're
Speaker 1: making it clear for everybody who's watching exactly what's going on.
Speaker 1: You can see it. They're not hiding it. They're keeping
Speaker 1: thousands and thousands of National Guard soldiers in DC for
Speaker 1: the entirety of the impeachment Democrats to actually get Trump
Speaker 1: convicted would need seventeen Republicans to go along with this.
Speaker 1: But I think the even more important, the even more
Speaker 1: important situation here is that there's a for me, a
Speaker 1: clear there's there's a clear decision that has been made
Speaker 1: that they want all these troops in DC because we're
Speaker 1: supposed to believe that there's still a threat of a coup.
Speaker 1: They want everyone terrified, they want everyone worried about the
Speaker 1: possibility of you know, the Trump supporters storming the gates
Speaker 1: and stopping the Senate impeachment trial or whatever. This is hysteria,
Speaker 1: but it's important for their power grab. Or if you
Speaker 1: look throughout history, whenever there are authoritarians, whenever there are
Speaker 1: people that are taking more power than they are legally,
Speaker 1: constitutionally or otherwise supposed to be granted in government, whatever
Speaker 1: that happens, they have an excuse, They have some rationale.
Speaker 1: It's always the other guys, we're going to do this first,
Speaker 1: or if we didn't do this, you know, this terrible
Speaker 1: thing was going to happen. They don't just say yeah,
Speaker 1: we're we're despots, we're seizing all authority and power into
Speaker 1: our hand because we like it, because we think we're
Speaker 1: better than you, because we think we know better than you,
Speaker 1: and you're not allowed to complain. That's not the pitch.
Speaker 1: That's not the way they justify their actions, even when
Speaker 1: that's exactly what they're doing. So here, what they've decided
Speaker 1: to do is that they take it upon themselves to
Speaker 1: be the people ordering thousands and thousands of National Guard
Speaker 1: to be deployed all throughout DC because of the threat
Speaker 1: of Trump supporters. I mean, this is absurd. We're really
Speaker 1: supposed to think that that Trump supporters are going to do?
Speaker 1: What will they protest in DC? Maybe? But are we
Speaker 1: to think that they're gonna violently try to overthrow the
Speaker 1: Senate or do something along those lines. I know what
Speaker 1: they would say. I know the Democrat response would be,
Speaker 1: they tried it that one time, on that one day.
Speaker 1: All right. It was a disaster. It wasn't a coup.
Speaker 1: It was a riot, and anybody who has any sense
Speaker 1: at all understands that it was the worst possible thing
Speaker 1: from a purely political standpoint. It was the worst possible
Speaker 1: thing that a Trump supporter could have done on that
Speaker 1: day at that time. It played right it played right
Speaker 1: into the Democrats hands. Put aside the illegality and immorality
Speaker 1: of it for a moment. It played right into the Democrats' hands.
Speaker 1: So we're gonna believe it. That's gonna happen again. No,
Speaker 1: but they want thousands and thousands of troops deployed so
Speaker 1: that this can be the way that the hysterical Democrats,
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, the Trump supporters can continue to play
Speaker 1: this game while they show everybody during this transition period,
Speaker 1: not the official presidential transition that's already happened, but this
Speaker 1: change into the new regime. We don't really pay attention
Speaker 1: to what Biden's doing. We don't pay attention to the
Speaker 1: actions he's taking because the media will just be focused
Speaker 1: on one. How amazing Biden. Do you know that his
Speaker 1: son went bagel shopping with him on Sunday after going
Speaker 1: to church. It's disgusting. The throne shining, the foot rubbing,
Speaker 1: the oh gosh, Joe Biden's so amazing. Stuff you're seeing
Speaker 1: from the media is there. They're an embarrassment, but this
Speaker 1: is their business model, telling Democrats, telling the brainwash left.
Speaker 1: How incredible this this clown Joe Biden is I mean really,
Speaker 1: we're all supposed to think that he's some great leaders,
Speaker 1: some great mind. Nobody believes that, but they're all acting
Speaker 1: like it's true. This is the Emperor having no clothes on,
Speaker 1: except the emperor is almost eighty years old, and you
Speaker 1: do worry that he actually doesn't remember where pants. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's where we are with this situation. But oh, we
Speaker 1: need thousands of National Guard deployed. And they're even asking,
Speaker 1: they're raising the question themselves, why are we on the
Speaker 1: streets of DC exactly? What are we doing here? What's
Speaker 1: the mission? What's the real threat? You know what the
Speaker 1: threat is. They're gonna tell you. They're gonna tell you
Speaker 1: that it's Trump voters trying to overthrow the Senator, some
Speaker 1: crazy nonsense like that. But the real problem is that
Speaker 1: they don't know how to keep their rage filled base
Speaker 1: happy without Donald Trump as the ultimate political pinata. And
Speaker 1: they also don't want people to start to see that
Speaker 1: Joe Biden is really an incompetent and that the people
Speaker 1: running this administration are the Democrat members of the establishment
Speaker 1: and the apparatus the left in general, who have decided
Speaker 1: what the policies will be, what the decision making will
Speaker 1: be Joe Biden is just the vessel otherwise. Explain why
Speaker 1: he's getting rid of the Keystone XL pipeline. Explain why
Speaker 1: he thinks men should be able to compete in women's sports,
Speaker 1: biological males competing against biological females. Look at the whole
Speaker 1: list of executive orders. It was all divisive and bad policy.
Speaker 1: These were objectively bad decisions for the country, But it's
Speaker 1: what the left demands. You're gonna see a whole lot
Speaker 1: more of it. Then they didn't wait very long, did they.
Speaker 1: They didn't wait at all. Because this is the presidency
Speaker 1: we're dealing with. They can tell you as much as
Speaker 1: they want about how there's other plans and other things,
Speaker 1: and just wait one day, we'll get there. But in
Speaker 1: the meantime, it's the continuation of the three ring circus
Speaker 1: around Donald Trump, and oh my gosh, the Republic will
Speaker 1: fall unless we have thousands and thousands of soldiers deployed
Speaker 1: to stop those big, bad, mean Trump supporters, all seventy
Speaker 1: five million them. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast.
Speaker 1: Follow Buck on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. What's the number
Speaker 1: one change of notice between from President Biden to President
Speaker 1: Biden from President Trump. It was very clear, George, and
Speaker 1: it was articulated multiple times. The President has said it publicly,
Speaker 1: but in a private session just sitting down with him
Speaker 1: and with the medical team, he's very serious. He says
Speaker 1: science is going to rule. We're gonna go by the facts.
Speaker 1: We're gonna go by the evidence, We're gonna go by
Speaker 1: the data. If something is wrong, like I just said,
Speaker 1: we're going to just try and fix it, then we're
Speaker 1: gonna pull out all the stops to get our arms
Speaker 1: around this. Getting the vaccine situation on track is his
Speaker 1: highest priority. So I mean the idea that the president
Speaker 1: himself sits down with you and says, I want science
Speaker 1: to rule. Go out there and do everything we need
Speaker 1: to do to get it done. Just as really very refreshing.
Speaker 1: Science will rule is a terrifying slogan for anybody who
Speaker 1: knows history to hear science will rule. I thought we
Speaker 1: the people rule through our elected representatives. But now now
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, there's some high priesthood of the
Speaker 1: hashtag science variety that's going to be making really important
Speaker 1: policy decisions for us. You know who also thinks that
Speaker 1: science will rule? This is true Marxists. They always believe
Speaker 1: that all the social sciences, which aren't really science, as
Speaker 1: you know, but that there was a fact and evidence
Speaker 1: based way to order a society that was irrefutable and
Speaker 1: must be true, is always true, even when the results suck.
Speaker 1: That science is all you need, you see, to reorder
Speaker 1: humankind so that we can all have everything we need.
Speaker 1: And this is a fundamental tenet of Marxism is to
Speaker 1: treat it as though they're running a lab experiment on
Speaker 1: how to grow the fastest petunias, except we're talking about
Speaker 1: human beings. We're talking about the complexities and the moral
Speaker 1: questions that face the human race. But the Marxists believe
Speaker 1: that with science, that's all you need, and their science
Speaker 1: was really a pseudoscience of Marxism. That's the whole point,
Speaker 1: you see. It's the answer to everything. This is why
Speaker 1: it really is all a religious belief, you see. And
Speaker 1: Fauci is going to be for anybody who's watching and
Speaker 1: being honest about this, is going to be proven to
Speaker 1: be essentially a giant fraud in this whole process. He's
Speaker 1: been wrong. He's been wrong numerous times. Here's a fact
Speaker 1: for you, Doctor Fauci lied to the American people about
Speaker 1: masks by his own admission, because he thought that that
Speaker 1: was a better thing for us to go through when
Speaker 1: he said don't wear masks and then said, oh, it's
Speaker 1: because I thought we'd run out of masks, Okay, so
Speaker 1: he lied. This guy's a liar. This is the whole
Speaker 1: the Truth and Science administration. This guy deceived the American public.
Speaker 1: But really the truth is that he didn't deceive the
Speaker 1: American public the way he said. It's that all of science,
Speaker 1: until about five minutes ago, thought that wearing a mask
Speaker 1: and a pandemic like this wasn't going to have the
Speaker 1: kind of beneficial result. That doesn't mean no benefit, but
Speaker 1: wouldn't have the kind of beneficial results we keep being
Speaker 1: led to believe mask mandates will because it's become part
Speaker 1: of the religion. Now, that's not to say there's no
Speaker 1: truth to it. That's not to say that I'm telling
Speaker 1: you that they don't work at all or no. N
Speaker 1: ninety five masks and a clinical setting absolutely help with
Speaker 1: respiratory infections a disease, no question, and in some situations
Speaker 1: maybe a cloth mask would also have not the same benefit,
Speaker 1: but some benefit, but as a means of stopping the pandemic.
Speaker 1: Has it worked? Look around you. I'm in Masks Central
Speaker 1: here in New York City. Has it stopped the virus?
Speaker 1: Has it stopped the pandemic or even come close to it? No,
Speaker 1: we're setting all time records, but we didn't do it enough.
Speaker 1: That's why you're seeing. You can find them yourself to
Speaker 1: two or three articles now coming out last last week
Speaker 1: from the New York Times alone time a double mask,
Speaker 1: gotta I'm not making this up. Got a double mask. Well,
Speaker 1: you can see if you go back on my Twitter account,
Speaker 1: just to give you a sense. Somehow I can tell
Speaker 1: what's coming. Somehow I know what's going to happen here.
Speaker 1: But you go back in my Twitter account and you
Speaker 1: see that I said on December tenth. Here we are
Speaker 1: now it is January twenty fifth, I tweeted on December tenth.
Speaker 1: Sometime in about mid January, when cases are still very high,
Speaker 1: despite all the painful lockdown insanity, there will be an
Speaker 1: n ninety five. Masks are actually far more effective. We
Speaker 1: should have advocated for those all along. Moment of recognition
Speaker 1: from the experts. Well, I shared yesterday a story from
Speaker 1: from CNN that says that Germany has mandated only medical
Speaker 1: grade masks. Why because those homemade cloth masks that are
Speaker 1: so effective at blocking COVID, they're like, well, actually they
Speaker 1: don't look like they're that effective. And one large German state, Bavaria,
Speaker 1: has mandated N ninety five masks only. So now it's
Speaker 1: if you're not wearing an N ninety five mask, you
Speaker 1: can't even get on mass transit. You can't go into
Speaker 1: public places, not even one of those medical grade you know,
Speaker 1: two ply fabric masks gotta be N ninety five. Why
Speaker 1: did I know this was going to happen. I'm not
Speaker 1: a doctor, I'm not a blue check MD. I'm not
Speaker 1: one of these these pandemic epidemiologists they keep putting on
Speaker 1: CNN every five minutes. Why did I know this was
Speaker 1: going to happen? Because I know what the arguments are here,
Speaker 1: and I know that they keep on being wrong and
Speaker 1: ignoring it and saying, shut up, were your mask, It's
Speaker 1: gonna save us. Okay, hasn't saved us yet, has it?
Speaker 1: So what do they do? They change the argument and
Speaker 1: then if you question them, you're the problem. Doctor Fauci
Speaker 1: was the beginning of this. He said, don't wear the masks.
Speaker 1: And then people said, hold on a second. You know
Speaker 1: you now say wear them, and he says, well, I
Speaker 1: had to lie to you for your own good. An
Speaker 1: administration is that is ruled by science. That's what he said,
Speaker 1: ruled by science. You don't think that Fauci's a power
Speaker 1: mad little maniac. Now you know. He's the highest paid
Speaker 1: employee in the federal government, makes more than a four
Speaker 1: star general, makes more than the president of the United States.
Speaker 1: He's making over four hundred thousand dollars a year. It's
Speaker 1: a great gig to have, basically unfireable. He's been sitting
Speaker 1: there for decades. It's going to lots of meetings making
Speaker 1: bad policy decisions under the guise of the rule of science.
Speaker 1: The CDC with this whole thing, has been a disaster,
Speaker 1: a disaster, and it's because it's a decades long, decades
Speaker 1: long in the making, federal bureaucratic screw up, because there's
Speaker 1: no accountability, because you don't want government in charge of
Speaker 1: things because they don't do a good job. But oh,
Speaker 1: that's right, we'll be ruled by science, he says, as
Speaker 1: if that's all that's all that has to be said.
Speaker 1: And then beyond that, we're supposed to just be quiet
Speaker 1: and listen, do as you're told. Oh, okay, we'll get
Speaker 1: into Gavin Newsom all of a sudden is going to
Speaker 1: open up California. Are the cases so different? There? Is
Speaker 1: it such a different situation? And if we're going to
Speaker 1: be ruled by the science, explain to me the science
Speaker 1: of not allowing the Keystone XEL pipeline, which Biden just
Speaker 1: shot down. The whole project is now scrapped by Executive
Speaker 1: FIAT not allowing the Keystone XEL pipeline when the State
Speaker 1: Department's analysis under the Obama administration was that blocking Keystone
Speaker 1: would increase CO two emissions. That's right, increase by blocking.
Speaker 1: But they're doing it anyway, ruled by science, they say, sure.
Speaker 1: This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Join the conversation
Speaker 1: and message Buck on Facebook, Instagram, or email Team Bucket
Speaker 1: iHeartMedia dot com. He may read it on the show. Well,
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously it was it was not an easy situation.
Speaker 1: I always did speak based on the data and the science,
Speaker 1: but obviously there was pressure about messaging that, and you know,
Speaker 1: I have I took no pleasure in having to sometimes publicly,
Speaker 1: even with the President there to contradict what he was saying.
Speaker 1: But I felt as a scientist, I had to be
Speaker 1: true to myself and true to the science to make
Speaker 1: sure that where there were things that I thought might
Speaker 1: be misinformation, that I would have to correct that. And
Speaker 1: there were a number of instances of that. That is
Speaker 1: not a comfortable situation, you know. It also was in
Speaker 1: a comfortable situation for doctor Fauci is being in the
Speaker 1: position that you're supposed to have been preparing for your
Speaker 1: whole life and just being a disaster, having no real plan,
Speaker 1: no answers, just being a political megaphone of fear. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm hearing people now who say, yes, buck, you know what,
Speaker 1: This is what democrats will tell you. Sure, some of
Speaker 1: the pandemic theater that we go through is idiotic. Sure,
Speaker 1: some of the things that we're being told to do
Speaker 1: make no sense, won't change anything, and it's absurd. But
Speaker 1: it's about conditioning the public to respond to health commands
Speaker 1: like this. Oh so it's Pavlovian. It's like we're all
Speaker 1: a bunch of dogs getting our treat from the government.
Speaker 1: Maybe we get patted on the head afterwards. This is
Speaker 1: what democrats who are being honest will openly tell you now, well,
Speaker 1: it's really sure. Maybe what you're doing makes no sense,
Speaker 1: but if everybody does something nonsensical about COVID, then there
Speaker 1: might be some benefit that comes from it. That's worth
Speaker 1: all the nonsense for you. Tell that to the people
Speaker 1: who have lost their jobs, you know, Tell that to
Speaker 1: the people who are losing family members to severe depression
Speaker 1: and to suicide, to the kids who are losing developmental
Speaker 1: time in school that will never be able to get
Speaker 1: back all the costs that we're willing to take on apparently,
Speaker 1: or are we, because now all of a sudden, some
Speaker 1: blue states are saying, you know what, we might have
Speaker 1: to reopen soon. Oh we'll get into that in a moment,
Speaker 1: because I first want to start with the ruled by
Speaker 1: science bullcrap here when it comes to the Keystone XL pipeline.
Speaker 1: Just as a quick review, the enviral wackos have decided
Speaker 1: this is this is gonna be like waterloo for the
Speaker 1: fossil fuel industry. They think this is the single most
Speaker 1: important battle they can wage, and they're all celebrating now,
Speaker 1: and they got you know, Native American groups in on this,
Speaker 1: and all all the left wing virtue signaling nonsense piled
Speaker 1: together here to stop the Keystone Xcel pipeline. By way
Speaker 1: of quick review, the Keystone Xcel pipeline would take the
Speaker 1: oil sands from the from Canada, from Alberta and take
Speaker 1: them all the way down to the US Gulf Coast.
Speaker 1: That's what that's the whole thing, right, And it's a pipeline.
Speaker 1: And the truth is that this would have just been
Speaker 1: a very efficient way because we refine it so we
Speaker 1: would have a refinery agreement with them, and then we'd
Speaker 1: be able to distribute it to the whole world. This
Speaker 1: would be a very effective and efficient way to get
Speaker 1: the oil to market. And despite the Left's best intentions otherwise,
Speaker 1: we have become America has become, because of fracking in energy,
Speaker 1: a true energy superpower. We're really the world's global preeminent
Speaker 1: energy superpower. You don't hear about that because about half
Speaker 1: the country Democrats are so brain washed that they think
Speaker 1: that's not something to be proud of. It absolutely is.
Speaker 1: It's the reason we have so much productivity. The fossil
Speaker 1: fuel industry is used in the creation fifty percent of oil,
Speaker 1: for example, and fossil fuel is used for products and
Speaker 1: is used in the distribution of products, you know, distribution
Speaker 1: of things like vaccine. That's right. Want you want an
Speaker 1: effective vaccination distribution program, you need a lot of energy
Speaker 1: for logistics. You need a lot of energy in order
Speaker 1: to keep that temperature at negative whatever it is, a
Speaker 1: degree celsius so that the vaccine can stay viable. And
Speaker 1: you need money for all of this, and it becomes
Speaker 1: more expensive when oil and fossil fuels are more expensive.
Speaker 1: They are fighting the modern economy itself, which is an absurdity.
Speaker 1: And they pretend that they're doing in the name of science,
Speaker 1: which is laughable. Do you know what the net CO
Speaker 1: two benefit of blocking the Keystone XL pipeline. According to
Speaker 1: multiple full State Department reviews, because this is an international deal,
Speaker 1: the State Department got to review it, including under the
Speaker 1: Obama administration, the net CO two change is either negligible
Speaker 1: to zero or negative, meaning that this oil is still
Speaker 1: going to come out of the ground. It's just going
Speaker 1: to be taken in tankers and trucks to market instead
Speaker 1: of with a pipeline, which is far more efficient and
Speaker 1: far more cost effective and also less like eutherapy leakage
Speaker 1: and spills which affect the environment. The Keystone XL pipeline
Speaker 1: blockage is worse for everyone in every way. It is
Speaker 1: worse for the environment, It is worse for business. It
Speaker 1: is worse for you because of what it means for jobs,
Speaker 1: for the economy, and for energy costs. But Democrats are
Speaker 1: blocking it anyway. Why because they ken because the envirol
Speaker 1: wackos have convinced themselves that this is a battle they
Speaker 1: have to win. They have to show that they have
Speaker 1: the power even when all science and reason are against them,
Speaker 1: even when there is no data to support their point
Speaker 1: of view. They have to find a situation like this
Speaker 1: where they can rally together and get the government to
Speaker 1: shut down something because they don't like it. Oil is ikey,
Speaker 1: fossil fuel bad. Shut it down. It's childish, it's destructive,
Speaker 1: it's stupid, and it's the first thing that Biden does
Speaker 1: day one in office, signs an executive order on this
Speaker 1: to stop the Keystone x ALL pipeline. There's no good
Speaker 1: faith argument about why to shut this thing down compared
Speaker 1: to the alternatives, if it's really about the environment, unless
Speaker 1: they're gonna say, oh, it's because there would definitely be
Speaker 1: some kind of an oil disaster. They don't know that,
Speaker 1: and pipelines are far less likely to have spills and
Speaker 1: disasters than other forms of transport. Yeah, how many horrible
Speaker 1: oil pipeline disasters have you heard. You've heard of tankard disasters, right,
Speaker 1: transit point disasters when it involves vehicles. But how many
Speaker 1: pipeline disasters have you heard about in the United States recently? Yeah? Exactly.
Speaker 1: But this was the left flexing the environmentalists left, and
Speaker 1: they're a religious group. You have to understand that the
Speaker 1: climate change activists, the anti pipeline activists, this is a
Speaker 1: religious group of people who think they're too smart for religion,
Speaker 1: and so for them, it's just all about the victory.
Speaker 1: It's all about enforcing their will on the rest of
Speaker 1: the American people and establishing that they have the power
Speaker 1: to do that, even if it just means that the
Speaker 1: outcomes are negative for everyone involved, which they are. This somehow,
Speaker 1: just like the BLA movement, which I said to you
Speaker 1: last summer, makes everything worse for everyone. There is no improvement.
Speaker 1: It makes nothing better for people, doesn't make things better
Speaker 1: for minorities, doesn't make things better for the police, doesn't
Speaker 1: make things better for just Americans. Blocking the Keystone XIL
Speaker 1: pipeline is the same thing for the left, but it
Speaker 1: shows you the mentality. This is just going to make
Speaker 1: energy costs higher. This is going to cost lots of jobs.
Speaker 1: And it won't even if you believe that CO two
Speaker 1: is going to melt the planet over time or whatever,
Speaker 1: if you're a climate change alarmist, alarmist, this does not
Speaker 1: stop the oil sands of Alberta from producing fossil fuels
Speaker 1: that will make it to the global market. So it's
Speaker 1: the same either way. In fact that the distribution of
Speaker 1: that oil sand now will require more fossil fuel. Therefore
Speaker 1: they'll be more CO two in the air. But they're
Speaker 1: doing it anyway because they're fixated on it, because they
Speaker 1: want to wield power. Because we said, we don't like it.
Speaker 1: This is the ruled by science people, right, we don't
Speaker 1: like it, so we're gonna stop. It doesn't make any
Speaker 1: sense and it's not the do you think, doctor Fouch
Speaker 1: it's gonna say. You know, turns out if you look
Speaker 1: at the data and all the you know, and all
Speaker 1: these scientists that look at the Keystone XCEL and the
Speaker 1: CEO two, you know, if you look at it, No,
Speaker 1: he's not, of course, not for the same reason that
Speaker 1: Fauci won't say open up all the schools, for the
Speaker 1: same reason that Fauci won't say that wearing masks outside
Speaker 1: is mandating outdoor mask wearing is dumb and counterproductive. He
Speaker 1: won't say that because he exists as a kind of
Speaker 1: you know, little a little genie of left wing democrat
Speaker 1: science demagoguery, you know, rub the lamp, and Fauci appears
Speaker 1: to tell the Democrats exactly what they want to hear
Speaker 1: about science, never tells them what they don't want to hear.
Speaker 1: You're in the freedom Mine. Thanks for listening to The
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show podcast. Get the latest from Bucket Bucksexton
Speaker 1: dot com. These channels are more Antidemocrat than they are
Speaker 1: pro Trump, and the Biden bashing has been turned up
Speaker 1: to eleven and twelve and thirteen. So has the media bashing.
Speaker 1: By the way, take a look at this some of
Speaker 1: the banners from Fox's air in the past few days.
Speaker 1: Fox a huge member of the national news media, pretending
Speaker 1: like it's not a member of the media at all,
Speaker 1: claiming that the media is out to praise Biden, fawn
Speaker 1: over Biden. He's the media's messiah. Every hour, every day,
Speaker 1: that's the narrative, and it's gonna be like this for
Speaker 1: the next four years. So Biden can talk about politics
Speaker 1: not needing to be a raging fire, that the fire
Speaker 1: doesn't have to be raging, but it is. It is today,
Speaker 1: and it was yesterday and it will be tomorrow. On
Speaker 1: these shows that millions of people watch. Unity is impossible. Okay,
Speaker 1: the United States is living in this parallel there's parallel
Speaker 1: universes within the United States. Unity is not Feasible's not.
Speaker 1: But can the temperature be lowered just two or three degrees?
Speaker 1: Wouldn't that help? Isn't that possible? Wouldn't it be better
Speaker 1: if you just gave up all the things that you
Speaker 1: want to need and add submit to the rule of
Speaker 1: science at CTED. The rule of science at CNN has
Speaker 1: a good rind to it, doesn't it? Yes, it does.
Speaker 1: Why are you saying that the media is so nice, Debided?
Speaker 1: We're super hard at bided. Yeah. I noticed that the
Speaker 1: problem is just that there's one channel that is pointing
Speaker 1: out that all the other channels are giving Biden a
Speaker 1: BackRub on air constantly. There's one but one channel saying,
Speaker 1: look what these other channels are doing. That's not allowed.
Speaker 1: Should there be any opposition media whatsoever under a bid administration?
Speaker 1: Really ask yourself that question. The journals in this country
Speaker 1: are so pathetic. There's such little quizzlings that they seem
Speaker 1: to think that the real service they can provide is
Speaker 1: to be cheerleaders f an administration that has ninety five
Speaker 1: percent of the information purveyors out there in media, news
Speaker 1: and journalism to be completely on their team. That's what
Speaker 1: we're told, that's the way it should be. That's a
Speaker 1: that's a better way forward. I mean, this is laughable.
Speaker 1: This is what they do, this is what they demand,
Speaker 1: absolutely absurd. So with that, I also want to point
Speaker 1: out that now they're having these Trump is gone, let's
Speaker 1: have the high priests and priestesses of the science bureaucracies
Speaker 1: come forward to speak to us about what's really happening
Speaker 1: in the country, including doctor Deborah Burke's best known I
Speaker 1: think for wearing colorful scarves at the at the meetings
Speaker 1: that she was a frequent participant in the early days
Speaker 1: of the COVID pandemic. Here she is play play play six.
Speaker 1: Did you ever consider quitting? Oh? I mean, why would
Speaker 1: you want to put yourself through that? On every day,
Speaker 1: colleagues of mine that I'd known for decades, decades in
Speaker 1: that one experience, because I was in the White House,
Speaker 1: decided that I had become this political person, even though
Speaker 1: they had known me forever. I had to ask myself
Speaker 1: every morning, is there something that I think I can
Speaker 1: do that would be helpful in responding to this pandemic?
Speaker 1: And it's something I asked myself every night. And when
Speaker 1: it became a point where I wasn't getting anywhere, and
Speaker 1: that was like right before the election, I wrote a
Speaker 1: very detailed communication plan of what needed to happen the
Speaker 1: day after the election and how that needed to be executed.
Speaker 1: And there was a lot of promise that would happen
Speaker 1: because you knew at that point that the election was
Speaker 1: a factor in communication about the virus. Yes, did you
Speaker 1: ever withhold information yourself? No, of course, the election was
Speaker 1: a factor in the way the virus is being described
Speaker 1: the entire media. I mean, CNN made its coronavirus death
Speaker 1: counter go away when Joe Biden came into office. You
Speaker 1: can see this, this is real, this happened, and that's
Speaker 1: just one indicator. There are so many others. But but
Speaker 1: now you know, doctor Burke's all this stuff they're saying
Speaker 1: about the Trump administration. The Trump administration listened to Fauci
Speaker 1: and Burkes. They pushed for the fifteen days to slow
Speaker 1: the spread, which was obviously preposterous now in retrospect, because
Speaker 1: it was really, you know, five months to slow the
Speaker 1: spread and then now we're back to another five months
Speaker 1: to slow the spread. It. It was never just fifteen days,
Speaker 1: but that's how they sold it. It was dishonest. They
Speaker 1: were never going to let us reopen after fifteen days.
Speaker 1: But now now you're starting to see, oh, that's right,
Speaker 1: Joe Biden's in charge. Is everything better all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: has the virus gone away? Force? Not? In fact, it's
Speaker 1: it has been the worst that it's ever been recently.
Speaker 1: And yet Burks is out there because look, they want
Speaker 1: to be liked by the establishment. Every the establishment is
Speaker 1: so powerful. It's money, it's prestige, it's how people treat you. Right,
Speaker 1: you want the establishment on your side if you can
Speaker 1: have it. If you're one of these public health officials,
Speaker 1: I get it. I understand same things true in media.
Speaker 1: By the way, do you don't have any more options
Speaker 1: I would have with my career, right? Now if I
Speaker 1: just became a kind of even a sort of moderate
Speaker 1: controlled opposition Republican. Yeah, I say with the Democrats, I
Speaker 1: kind of talk them sometimes, But I say with the
Speaker 1: Democrats mostly want me to say, go on so many
Speaker 1: more channels and you know, you get a bigger book
Speaker 1: deal and all this stuff. Burks knows that, and that's
Speaker 1: why she's got to come out now and say all
Speaker 1: this stuff. When she and Fauci were failures with a
Speaker 1: big f failures in the way they came up with
Speaker 1: a response the pandemic, everything about it, it was, it
Speaker 1: was absurd. Here she is talking about the parallel data
Speaker 1: Play five. Do you think President Trump appreciated the gravity
Speaker 1: of the health crisis you were describing. I think the
Speaker 1: President appreciated the gravity. In March, it took a while
Speaker 1: after I wrapped in the White House to remove all
Speaker 1: of the answer Larry data that was coming in. I mean,
Speaker 1: there was parallel data stream coming into the White House
Speaker 1: that were not transparently utilized, and I needed to stop that.
Speaker 1: We're apewing outside advisors, outside advisors coming to inside advisors.
Speaker 1: And to this day, I mean until the day I left,
Speaker 1: I am I'm convinced there were parallel data streams because
Speaker 1: I disinformation. I saw the President presenting graphs that I
Speaker 1: never made, So I know that someone are, someone out
Speaker 1: here there or someone inside was creating a parallel set
Speaker 1: of data and graph eggs that were shown to the president.
Speaker 1: I know what I sent up, and I know that
Speaker 1: what was in his hands was different from that who
Speaker 1: name names doctor Burkes, won't you This is Buck's first thoughts.
Speaker 1: The news You need to get through your day in
Speaker 1: forty five minutes. Make sure you subscribe on the iHeart
Speaker 1: app or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm hopeful that
Speaker 1: members are going to be open minded, that they are
Speaker 1: going to when they raise their hand and take that oath,
Speaker 1: that they're going to view the evidence that is presented
Speaker 1: to them, and that they're going to do the right thing.
Speaker 1: I cannot be moved by the mascinations of politics that
Speaker 1: are going on in the interim while we're trying to
Speaker 1: put this together. I think that you know, we're going
Speaker 1: to be speaking to all one hundred centers. We're not
Speaker 1: going to be speaking to one group or the other.
Speaker 1: And I'm hopeful that they're going to do what's necessary
Speaker 1: to truly unify this country, and that unification can happen
Speaker 1: until there was a reckoning for crimes against it. Unify
Speaker 1: by having one side purge the other of its most
Speaker 1: recent president. Unify by bending the knee and surrendering and
Speaker 1: promising that you'll be a meek and mild and submissive
Speaker 1: Republican party going forward. That's the pathway to unity. And
Speaker 1: as Chuck Schumer now said, a majority leader, good God,
Speaker 1: as he says it, that's the only way also to
Speaker 1: have accountability. Play that clip. Everyone wants to put this
Speaker 1: awful chapter in American history behind us, but sweeping it
Speaker 1: under the rug will not bring healing. The only way
Speaker 1: to bring healing is to actually have real accountability, which
Speaker 1: this trial affords. And so we will move forward with
Speaker 1: the trial. It will be fair, but it will move
Speaker 1: at a relatively fast pace. Unity through your side being
Speaker 1: further humiliated. Isn't it amazing? Everybody wants to put this
Speaker 1: in their rear view mirror, but let's all focus on
Speaker 1: it for the next few weeks. This is what they're
Speaker 1: telling you. Would it be like saying, you know, I know,
Speaker 1: you've been out in the sun too long and you're burning,
Speaker 1: but stay out for another two hours, because that's the
Speaker 1: best way to handle it. This is insane. This is
Speaker 1: what they're telling you. They've got to justify this somehow,
Speaker 1: And they've got a problem here because anybody who's looking
Speaker 1: at what's happening with a reasonable eye would say, hold
Speaker 1: on unity. Unity for our purposes here is going to
Speaker 1: mean doing the most divisive thing that can possibly do
Speaker 1: at this stage, to go after a former president. This
Speaker 1: is because they want to bar him from office. This
Speaker 1: is not because justice demands it. This is not because
Speaker 1: they want that Trump do. They want Trump to be
Speaker 1: the first president in history, in history to be convicted
Speaker 1: by a Senate trial as part of the impeachment process
Speaker 1: and to be barred from running for future office. That's
Speaker 1: because they want to destroy the Trump movement right now,
Speaker 1: and they know that if they get this against the father,
Speaker 1: than any of his children, anyone else in the Trump
Speaker 1: world that wants to run will have to deal with this. Now.
Speaker 1: Perhaps it'll backfire. I know some of you would make
Speaker 1: that argument that this would then catapult Ivanka or Don
Speaker 1: Junior or somebody else to the front of the line
Speaker 1: for the GOP. I'm not confident that that's the case,
Speaker 1: and I think that there's I think that the political
Speaker 1: skills that Donald Trump Senior has are not necessarily transferable
Speaker 1: through you know, pure genetics to whoever else comes along
Speaker 1: with the name Trump. But I could be wrong on that. Well, No,
Speaker 1: I don't think I'm wrong on that, but I'm open
Speaker 1: to seeing how this plays out. That all said, they
Speaker 1: want to make sure that Donald Trump can't run again
Speaker 1: because they know he can win again. And we know
Speaker 1: that that's a possibility too, And this is why they're
Speaker 1: doing everything they can to to tell you something that
Speaker 1: you know, as soon as it said to you is bs.
Speaker 1: You know that what they're saying as a false narrative,
Speaker 1: but they have no way around it. Let's all come
Speaker 1: together here through a divisive process. Let's lower the temperature
Speaker 1: by turning the temperature up. That's what post presidency conviction
Speaker 1: would be here. And this is what they offer up.
Speaker 1: This is their their promise to all of us. And
Speaker 1: it's not only it's not only the Democrats who are
Speaker 1: saying this stuff. I mean there are different levels among
Speaker 1: the Republicans. You've got Romney, who's now effectively a Democrat.
Speaker 1: I mean, Romney has made his bed. Now we should
Speaker 1: sleep in and Romney as a Democrat. He's a moderate Democrat.
Speaker 1: That's what this guy has become. Marches with BLM turns on.
Speaker 1: I mean, remember he voted. He would have more credibility
Speaker 1: with me now if he had had enough sense to
Speaker 1: not vote to impeach Trump and remove Trump the first
Speaker 1: time around over the Ukraine phone call, which was absurd,
Speaker 1: that that was just the whole problem. It was entirely bonkers,
Speaker 1: unserious stuff. But that is what Romney went for. Here
Speaker 1: he is telling us again, he's parroting the Chuck Schumer lines.
Speaker 1: It's like Chuck Schumer's handing him the script, Romney saying
Speaker 1: that the way to bring us all together is to
Speaker 1: spit in the face of seventy five million Trump voters. Yeah,
Speaker 1: play eleven. Well, worldly going to have a trial. I
Speaker 1: wish that weren't necessary, But the president's conduct with regards
Speaker 1: to the call the Secretary of State raffensburgher in Georgia,
Speaker 1: as well as the incitation towards the insurrection that led
Speaker 1: to the attack on the Capitol calls for a trial.
Speaker 1: And you know, if we're going to have a unity
Speaker 1: in our country, I think it's important to recognize the
Speaker 1: need for accountability for truth and justice. So I think
Speaker 1: there will be a trial and I hope it goes
Speaker 1: as quickly as possible, but that's up to the council
Speaker 1: on both sides. Yeah, there will be a trial. Unity, accountability.
Speaker 1: These are the words you're going to hear. What about
Speaker 1: the old president that we have of You don't go
Speaker 1: back and look for prosecutions of the former administration. Donald
Speaker 1: Trump could could have pushed for and his dj could
Speaker 1: have gotten a criminal trial brought against Hillary Clinton for example,
Speaker 1: And I know locker up chat and everything. Some people
Speaker 1: wanted that, but they didn't do it. Maybe disappointed a
Speaker 1: lot of Trump voters, but they didn't do it. Why
Speaker 1: because it sets a terrible precedent for politics in this
Speaker 1: country to even have the even have the perception, the
Speaker 1: belief to be out there that that one side is
Speaker 1: weaponizing the prosecutorial apparatus against the other for political reasons.
Speaker 1: This completely devolves a democracy. This destroys a republic, This
Speaker 1: ruins everything because it means that you establish a winner
Speaker 1: takeoff philosophy in politics that then becomes corrosive of everything.
Speaker 1: It's not a temporary, peaceful transfer of power based upon
Speaker 1: the will of the people. It's how do we make
Speaker 1: sure we stay in charge because otherwise the other side
Speaker 1: is going to throw us into prison. Once that becomes
Speaker 1: the mentality, it's no longer about our sacred democracy and
Speaker 1: who's count you know, who's who's getting to vote and
Speaker 1: have a say in their future. It's this is just
Speaker 1: winner take all, bare knuckle powers struggle. And that's why
Speaker 1: we haven't done that in the past. That's why there's
Speaker 1: you know, you even you even look at the approach
Speaker 1: taken in in situations where there have been, uh, there
Speaker 1: has been misconduct by politicians where you know they were
Speaker 1: the president, and you look at Nixon, I mean the
Speaker 1: pardon of Nixon by Ford, Nixon, Reagan, Ford and Johnson,
Speaker 1: you know, gurgling with Gurgen. I kind of missed that guy.
Speaker 1: But you look at all the things that go on
Speaker 1: and you say to yourself, there's a there's a bigger
Speaker 1: picture here that we have to keep in mind. There
Speaker 1: are broader themes and issues at work, and that's what
Speaker 1: is being completely cast aside now, and very conveniently, I
Speaker 1: would add, by Democrats just pushed aside. They don't care.
Speaker 1: They simply don't care. They think they have more important
Speaker 1: things to do, like destroying this president. Marc Rubio takes
Speaker 1: a kind of middle pathway here, and there's already new
Speaker 1: stories out about how Ivanka is going to run for
Speaker 1: his seat, so you know he's he's trying to hold
Speaker 1: on in Florida. He's looking for his place in the
Speaker 1: future of the party. Marco plays his cards right. He
Speaker 1: could be a name that really carries some sway among
Speaker 1: Republicans in the future. You don't know, you know, he
Speaker 1: could have a second act here. But even he sees
Speaker 1: that while it might be in his immediate interests to
Speaker 1: turn on the Trump dynasty because of the challenge that
Speaker 1: Ivanka would bring to him in Florida, even with that
Speaker 1: going on, he understands that this impeachment is just a
Speaker 1: terrible idea. Play fourteen. I think the president bears responsibility
Speaker 1: for some of all what happened. It was most certainly
Speaker 1: a foreseeable consequence of everything that was going on, and
Speaker 1: I think that's widely understood. It maybe even better understood
Speaker 1: with the perspective of time. I think that's separate from
Speaker 1: the notion of let's revisit this all and stir it
Speaker 1: up again. It's not you know, the stories are still
Speaker 1: going to be there's criminal justice, investigations are going to
Speaker 1: continue to move forward. All these things are still going
Speaker 1: to happen. All I'm arguing is we have some really
Speaker 1: important things to work on. You want to really kind
Speaker 1: of bring the country together and remember once again, how
Speaker 1: we can get things done. It isn't by uniformity on
Speaker 1: all the issues. It's about working through a process that
Speaker 1: allows people with different points of view to debate all
Speaker 1: that and get to a solution for the country. All
Speaker 1: that we're just gonna go. We're gonna jump right back
Speaker 1: into what we've been going through the last five years
Speaker 1: and stirring it up again with the trial. And it's
Speaker 1: just going to be bad for the country. It really is.
Speaker 1: It absolutely is, and anybody who anybody who's being honest
Speaker 1: can see that. But for Democrats, this isn't about what's
Speaker 1: best for the country. We know that they're bitter still
Speaker 1: about Trump. The media is by and large angry still
Speaker 1: because of what Donald Trump said about them, did to them,
Speaker 1: the way he used his Twitter account to slap them down.
Speaker 1: They haven't forgotten that they want payback. This is all
Speaker 1: about payback now for a lot of Democrats for others
Speaker 1: is also payback plus control of the future and making
Speaker 1: sure that Donald Trump is unable to run for office
Speaker 1: ever again. And think about the stain that would leave
Speaker 1: on the Republican Party too. We'd be the only party
Speaker 1: that has a president given everything we've seen in the
Speaker 1: two hundred plus year history of this country. Would be
Speaker 1: the only political party to have a president who not
Speaker 1: only is impeached after leaving office, but is impeached and
Speaker 1: loses in a senate trial. By the way, I don't
Speaker 1: think that he will lose in this Senate trial, but
Speaker 1: in the attempt, then all they get is further division.
Speaker 1: I think that the Republicans know that if Mitch McConnell
Speaker 1: knows this, if they go for it and they fail,
Speaker 1: come at the King you best not miss. And the
Speaker 1: Trumpster does not forget
