Speaker 1: You're in the freedom hunt. Thanks for listening to The
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show podcast to get the latest from Buck
Speaker 1: at buck Sexton dot com. A goodbye, we love you.
Speaker 1: We will be back in some form and again, I
Speaker 1: wanted just in living. I want to thank our Vice
Speaker 1: President Mike Pence and Karen. I want to thank Congress
Speaker 1: because we really worked well with Congress, at least certain
Speaker 1: elements of Congress, but we really did. We've gotten so
Speaker 1: much done that nobody thought would be possible. But I
Speaker 1: do want to thank Congress. I don't want to thank
Speaker 1: all of the great people of Washington, DC, all of
Speaker 1: the people that we worked with to put this miracle together.
Speaker 1: So have a good life. We will see you soon.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Thank you very much. It is the end
Speaker 1: of an era and the beginning of a new one.
Speaker 1: Donald Trump no longer President of the United States. Joe
Speaker 1: Biden sworn in number forty six. Get ready for what
Speaker 1: this means. You should brace now for the Democrat left backlash.
Speaker 1: It has been building up for four years. I wish
Speaker 1: I could tell you that I thought this moment in
Speaker 1: time would be one of national unity, of coming together,
Speaker 1: of sanity back in government. But you wouldn't even believe
Speaker 1: that if somebody said it to you. Do you think
Speaker 1: that Trump derangement syndrome just goes away now that Trump
Speaker 1: is no longer president. Now it's just Democrat derangement syndrome. Now,
Speaker 1: this is settling scores, it's silencing opposing voices, it is
Speaker 1: crushing descent. That's what they're really planning here, That's really
Speaker 1: the idea behind all of this. They have no interest
Speaker 1: in a third way. They have no interest in finding
Speaker 1: a triangulation, a middle ground, a halfway mark. No, they
Speaker 1: have control of the House of the Senate and of
Speaker 1: the presidency. And this means that we are now living
Speaker 1: in a country that's going to feel very different for
Speaker 1: at least some time. We have to be prepared for
Speaker 1: what this means, for our ability to even speak out
Speaker 1: against this. You are now going to have ninety five
Speaker 1: percent of the journalistic establishment completely in the pocket of
Speaker 1: a presidential administration. They warned us for four years, they
Speaker 1: screamed and cried about tyranny from Trump, when every journalist
Speaker 1: who opposed him got richer, more famous, more time on TV,
Speaker 1: which is what they really want. Those three things. Every
Speaker 1: journalist who spoke out against him was advancing their careers,
Speaker 1: and we were supposed to think that somehow Trump was
Speaker 1: so much of the establishment and so much of the
Speaker 1: swamp arrayed against him, was going to seize control, authoritarian
Speaker 1: power forever. That's what they told us. But that didn't happen,
Speaker 1: did it. Now. There was no seizure of power. There
Speaker 1: was just the peaceful transition that we've seen. And now
Speaker 1: we have a Joe Biden administration that is going to
Speaker 1: have no pushback from the people whose jobs are supposed
Speaker 1: to be speaking truth to power. Dissent is no longer patriotic.
Speaker 1: You can be assured of that. In fact, if you
Speaker 1: disagree with the Biden administration, you will be called things
Speaker 1: like a COVID denier. You'll be called a white supremacist,
Speaker 1: a racist, a mask denier, an insurrectionist. Even they'll throw
Speaker 1: everything they can at you, and you have to be
Speaker 1: prepared for that. This is now the future of this country.
Speaker 1: This is where we are. I'm happy to hear that.
Speaker 1: And Trump is planning to continue to spread the message
Speaker 1: and in some ways may even grow even more powerful
Speaker 1: in immedia sense than he has been up to this point.
Speaker 1: Depends on what choices that what choices he makes. Here,
Speaker 1: he is saying he's always going to be in the
Speaker 1: fight for us. Play five. I will always fight for you.
Speaker 1: I will be watching, I will be listening, and I
Speaker 1: will tell you that the future of this country has
Speaker 1: never been better. I wish the new administration great luck
Speaker 1: and great success. I think they'll have great success. They
Speaker 1: have the foundation to do something really spectacular. And again,
Speaker 1: we put it in a position like it's never been before.
Speaker 1: Despite the worst plague to hit since I guess you'd say,
Speaker 1: nineteen seventeen, over one hundred years ago. And despite that,
Speaker 1: despite that, the things that we've done have been just incredible.
Speaker 1: And I couldn't have done done it without you. There
Speaker 1: will be no honeymoon between Trump supporters and this Biden administration.
Speaker 1: It will not exist. They won't allow it to. You've
Speaker 1: already been told that the price of your freedoms, the
Speaker 1: price of your rights, is submit or face the consequences.
Speaker 1: Submit or be d platformed, be boycotted, have your business destroyed,
Speaker 1: your reputation ruined. We are all now supposed to think
Speaker 1: that what Joe Biden, this almost eighty year old middling
Speaker 1: mediocrity from Delaware, is really going to be the guy
Speaker 1: that turns the whole country around. You look at the
Speaker 1: initial things that are being done here, the orders that
Speaker 1: he's putting out, and it's obviously meant to erase what
Speaker 1: Trump had done as quickly as possible. So that's the
Speaker 1: problem with executive orders. They're only as good as long
Speaker 1: as that's the executive you've got. But I'm much more
Speaker 1: concerned about a culture now that has at its core,
Speaker 1: a political culture that has at its core not only
Speaker 1: are Trump supporters out of power and to be disdained,
Speaker 1: but they are enemies of the state. That's what the
Speaker 1: rhetoric in recent days has been Trump supporters, Trump voters.
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about a few specific radicals or a
Speaker 1: few specific crazies who have done bad and illegal things.
Speaker 1: And as we know, they exist on both sides of
Speaker 1: the aisle. And there's been a whole lot more of
Speaker 1: that from the left then there has been from the
Speaker 1: right in the last four years. But they will not
Speaker 1: view it that way. Of course, they will not agree
Speaker 1: with us that the left poses now a truth that
Speaker 1: threat of authoritarianism. Instead, what are going to do? They're
Speaker 1: going to leverage the apparatus of the state to make
Speaker 1: sure that we can't even discuss what a not up
Speaker 1: for the job cognitively declining absurdity Joe Biden is and
Speaker 1: if you even bring this up, they're going to say
Speaker 1: that you're basically the equivalent of somebody who wants to
Speaker 1: overthrow the United States government. The way that they have
Speaker 1: approached this the spite, you'll notice that there's not a
Speaker 1: lot of happiness among Democrats. Here and there. You may
Speaker 1: see some celebration. I know today there's pomp and circumstances,
Speaker 1: but what you're really seeing is a relief that they
Speaker 1: have that they can finally unleash their rage. The Democrat
Speaker 1: mindset now instead of being all happy and talking about
Speaker 1: what a great future we're all going to have now
Speaker 1: that the media is going to do some of that,
Speaker 1: to be sure, but the overwhelming feeling that they seem
Speaker 1: to be showing all the rest of us is like
Speaker 1: a dog that has been on a leash and in
Speaker 1: a cage that is now let loose to go and
Speaker 1: bite whomever. They are angry about what has happened for
Speaker 1: the last four years. They are angry about all the
Speaker 1: terrible things that Trump did, and I wish we hadn't
Speaker 1: had the last three months we had of the Trump presidency,
Speaker 1: because it has added a lot of field of the fire.
Speaker 1: It has made things much more difficult, at least in
Speaker 1: the short term, to continue on and support a MAGA agenda.
Speaker 1: I don't even know if that term will really be
Speaker 1: used anymore. People are talking about Trump is m without Trump,
Speaker 1: They're talking about who the future of the party may be.
Speaker 1: I don't believe that's where the conversation would be if
Speaker 1: we had not gone through the last three months the
Speaker 1: way that we had. Just remember this, at the end
Speaker 1: of the day, you are what you do and what
Speaker 1: you stand for, and that doesn't change because of who
Speaker 1: the president is. It doesn't change because the Democrats manage
Speaker 1: to squeak out of victory in the Senate or maintain
Speaker 1: their control under Nancy Pelosi in the House. They can't
Speaker 1: change who you are, what you stand for, or what
Speaker 1: you do. So just stick to your principles, be patriots,
Speaker 1: support those who share your values and care about the
Speaker 1: country in the way that you do, and be prepared
Speaker 1: for what's coming. This is not going to be pleasant.
Speaker 1: I would be lying to you if I've set otherwise.
Speaker 1: The Democrats are going to settle scores. They're going to
Speaker 1: make examples. They are going to unleash the wokeness on
Speaker 1: all of us. But we have been through worse and
Speaker 1: we will get to better times. Do not forget that today.
Speaker 1: And just when you can think back to those moments
Speaker 1: in twenty eighteen and twenty nineteen when I would tell
Speaker 1: listeners of this show, this is about as good as
Speaker 1: it's going to get in this country. Enjoy it. I
Speaker 1: hope you savored those moments, because now we're on the
Speaker 1: other side of the equation. It's time to get ready,
Speaker 1: shields high. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Follow
Speaker 1: Buck on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Seventy four million Americans
Speaker 1: ought not to be slandered based on the action of
Speaker 1: a couple thousand who participate in a violent mob at
Speaker 1: the capital two weeks ago. And because a violent mob
Speaker 1: attack the capital two weeks ago, that doesn't mean that
Speaker 1: they should have their view censored. It doesn't mean they
Speaker 1: should be at risk of losing their job or having
Speaker 1: their business boycotted, losing their slots and high schools or
Speaker 1: colleges that choose selectively doesn't mean that they should have
Speaker 1: to pay higher taxes or open their borders or defund
Speaker 1: their police. That is crazy and it is a complete
Speaker 1: non secretary. But the Democrats realize that that agenda is unpopular.
Speaker 1: But they also have all the other commanding heights of
Speaker 1: our society, from the media, to education to entertainment in
Speaker 1: their corner. What those people need, with those seventy four
Speaker 1: million people who voted for the president, voted for Republicans
Speaker 1: need or Republicans and conservatives in the Congress, in the
Speaker 1: state legislatures to stand up for their rights. And I
Speaker 1: promise you I will do that, let's hope. So it's
Speaker 1: going to be on all of us. Now, that's what
Speaker 1: I think people are recognizing today. Trump is not going
Speaker 1: to swoop in and save us from the insane leftist stuff.
Speaker 1: Trump is not going to be the one who's just
Speaker 1: setting the national news agenda day in and day out.
Speaker 1: He won't be able to slap down the fake news
Speaker 1: with one tweet. Now, it's on all of us. Sure,
Speaker 1: he'll have a voice and continue to have a lot
Speaker 1: of people who support him. And but it's going to
Speaker 1: be different now. You know that. I know that, And
Speaker 1: we are now as a movement of conservatives, we are
Speaker 1: now on our own effectively. I mean, we could come together,
Speaker 1: but I'm saying that we don't have a leader of
Speaker 1: the Republican Party at the current moment. We just have
Speaker 1: to continue to push and do everything that we can
Speaker 1: to hold back the torrent of madness that I think
Speaker 1: is going to descend upon the country. Remember, it's not
Speaker 1: only Trump derangement syndrome that we have to be aware of.
Speaker 1: It's also a year unlike any other in my lifetime
Speaker 1: and certainly in living memory, where we've gone through a
Speaker 1: global pandemic. People are angry. I'll even tell you I'm
Speaker 1: more short tempered than I have been in a long time,
Speaker 1: just because being in a very blue city in a
Speaker 1: very blue state over what's happened in the last twelve
Speaker 1: months has really shown that you will suffer if you
Speaker 1: let the authoritarian left run your life. You will suffer
Speaker 1: if they are in charge. And a lot of people,
Speaker 1: even if they like those policies, have recognized that we've
Speaker 1: just been through a miserable year year with four hundred
Speaker 1: thousand COVID deaths, endless lockdowns, all this shifting advice and
Speaker 1: mandates about mitigation measures, all this stuff. It's a lot
Speaker 1: of anger out there I wish I could say that
Speaker 1: the Democrat push would be for one of of prosperity
Speaker 1: and just joy at what is their newfound power now.
Speaker 1: But I really do believe that vengeance is going to
Speaker 1: be much higher up on the mind of a lot
Speaker 1: of the political operatives, the senior administration officials. I hope
Speaker 1: I'm wrong. You know, there are some things where I
Speaker 1: can tell you straight up. My fondest wish is that
Speaker 1: what I'm telling you turns out to be entirely untrue.
Speaker 1: That Democrats are the bigger men. So are we even
Speaker 1: allowed to say, oh, the bigger man are the bigger
Speaker 1: non gender specific, non binary, gender non specific people, the
Speaker 1: bigger that they're the bigger Homo sapiens. Is that what
Speaker 1: we're allowed? What are we supposed to say? Get ready
Speaker 1: for a lot of that language policing, a lot of
Speaker 1: checking in on the loyalty of government officials at also
Speaker 1: asking more and more questions about who you voted for
Speaker 1: at whatever company you work for, because it's not that
Speaker 1: you were a Republican and voted for Donald Trump, it's wait,
Speaker 1: you supported the insurrectionist. Maybe you need to go talk
Speaker 1: to hr. Wait, you are a company that advertises on
Speaker 1: Fox News or a conservative network of some kind. Maybe
Speaker 1: you need to be threatened with a boycott. You'll notice
Speaker 1: this didn't happen in twenty sixteen. When Trump came into office.
Speaker 1: It was all right, we got an agenda, let's go
Speaker 1: after it, let's do some things. It's got some taxes,
Speaker 1: get some executive orders going. But it wasn't a purge.
Speaker 1: Nobody really thought that Democrats were going to lose their livelihoods,
Speaker 1: their businesses, their freedoms. The First Amendment is under greater
Speaker 1: assault now it has been in my lifetime. There are
Speaker 1: very intelligent people, very serious observers of American life, who
Speaker 1: are writing about a new war on terror against conservatives
Speaker 1: in this country and the expansion of the police state
Speaker 1: to encompass what is clearly not already criminal activity. Why
Speaker 1: would they be talking about this, Why would they be saying,
Speaker 1: we need to expand surveillance, we need to we need
Speaker 1: to look at legislation to address the address what exactly
Speaker 1: everything that happened at the Capitol Hill riot that should
Speaker 1: not have happened, was already very illegal and people are
Speaker 1: facing very long criminal sentences for it. So what exactly
Speaker 1: has to be addressed. You'll see you'll see who's in charge.
Speaker 1: You'll see how the deep state now rises to the surface.
Speaker 1: It's been operating somewhat in the shadows for the last
Speaker 1: four years, but all of a sudden, now the people
Speaker 1: that are going to be calling the shots will be
Speaker 1: folks at the CIA, and the FBI and the EPA
Speaker 1: and you name it, who think that climate change is
Speaker 1: an existential threat. And if you don't sign on to that,
Speaker 1: there's something wrong with you. Oh you you can't be trusted.
Speaker 1: You don't believe that any public policy that we think
Speaker 1: is necessary to address the growing threat of climate change
Speaker 1: is inherently justified. You don't you're not down with that.
Speaker 1: I don't think we can trust you anymore. What's so fascinating,
Speaker 1: of course, is that the left has created this revisionist history.
Speaker 1: They always talk about McCarthyism. They forget that there were
Speaker 1: in fact communist penetrations of the government, and they were
Speaker 1: all Democrats. Just so you know, it was the Democrats
Speaker 1: that the communists found their fellow travelers, and it was
Speaker 1: not staunch patriotic right wingers. That was not how that happened.
Speaker 1: But they talk about it as though this was all
Speaker 1: just a fraud, This was all based in lies, when
Speaker 1: in truth there were a lot there were Communist penetrations,
Speaker 1: including at a very high level Soviet penetrations of the
Speaker 1: United States government. And now they're going to do the great,
Speaker 1: the great Conservative scare, if you will, right, instead of
Speaker 1: a Red scare, the Maga scare. They're going to look
Speaker 1: to find ways to get rid of it because it
Speaker 1: was also the Trump culture. It was also those moments
Speaker 1: where all of a sudden, people felt like they had
Speaker 1: a hat to wear, a slogan to chant, and people
Speaker 1: around them who shared their beliefs and approach politics with them. Joy.
Speaker 1: If anything, that's one of the most powerful legacies of
Speaker 1: the four years of Trumpet office. But Democrats want to
Speaker 1: get rid of all of that now. They want to
Speaker 1: make America feel shameful for wanting to make America great.
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Make sure
Speaker 1: you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeartRadio app or
Speaker 1: wherever you get your podcasts. To Trumps and he may
Speaker 1: be drawing to a close, But the dysfunction, the corruption,
Speaker 1: the authoritarianism, and the moral rot Trump exposed within the
Speaker 1: gopn and our system will remain and we can't just
Speaker 1: let it go. We got to fix it and we
Speaker 1: have to hold accountable to people responsible for it, from
Speaker 1: the top all the way down. Otherwise, this four year
Speaker 1: long nightmare we've all lived through could very well happen again.
Speaker 1: Don't you think that if he pardons himself, Sonny, that
Speaker 1: admits that he's guilty, and then when the impeachment in
Speaker 1: the Semmit comes up, what are they supposed to do
Speaker 1: with that? They have to convict him. He himself is
Speaker 1: saying I'm guilty, absolutely absolutely, But his defense, I think,
Speaker 1: is going to be, well, this is a witch hunt.
Speaker 1: This is a witch hunt against me, So of course
Speaker 1: I have to try to pardon myself because everyone's out
Speaker 1: against against me. And guess what, seventy four million people
Speaker 1: are going to believe that because they've been brainwashed. Joy,
Speaker 1: I really believe that they have been brainwashed by this
Speaker 1: misinformation campaign over the past four years. Can't you feel
Speaker 1: all the healing and the unity. Oh, these Democrats they
Speaker 1: want to let bygones be bygones, don't they They want
Speaker 1: to just be friends now. They want to get along
Speaker 1: and everything's gonna be just fine. Not so much the
Speaker 1: idea that they're gonna hold people accountable. They're really sticking
Speaker 1: to this one, aren't they. And I think they're gonna
Speaker 1: they're gonna try it. That just means vindictiveness. It means
Speaker 1: find your political enemies and make their lives difficult, make
Speaker 1: them miserable, do whatever you have to do to punish
Speaker 1: them for wrong think. Remember they're saying Trump is the authoritarian.
Speaker 1: They've had a peaceful trans transfer of power. Republicans are saying, okay,
Speaker 1: Joe Biden's the president. We're not doing the Russias stole
Speaker 1: the election thing. That's what they did for four years.
Speaker 1: Republicans now have said, all right, you know, Electoral College certified,
Speaker 1: it's done, it's over with. I know there was the
Speaker 1: right of Capitol Hill and it was awful, and we
Speaker 1: see now just how much the left is using that
Speaker 1: awful incident to try to bash all Trump supporters. But
Speaker 1: now now we're we're where they said they wanted to be,
Speaker 1: with the Democrats in charge of everything, basically, and sure enough,
Speaker 1: instead of saying we're just gonna show you guys what
Speaker 1: good governance looks like, it's let's go find people who
Speaker 1: need to be punished. Let's blacklist them from jobs. Let's
Speaker 1: prevent them from being able to speak online. I mean
Speaker 1: the social media and the tech purge. I think it's
Speaker 1: only gonna get worse because now they've got cover from
Speaker 1: the federal government. Now they've got people at the very
Speaker 1: top of the government hierarchy. You're gonna say, yeah, that's
Speaker 1: how the First Amendment works. Crush people that you don't like. Great, Oh, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Companies can do whatever they want, they say
Speaker 1: for this, but go bake that cake and write on
Speaker 1: it whatever. Whatever. The person who wants the cake tells
Speaker 1: you to write on it. You have to do that.
Speaker 1: If you have if you have to write there is
Speaker 1: no God. God is false. You have to write that
Speaker 1: on a birthday cake. You better do that or else.
Speaker 1: Oh I'm so oh that's a first to oh wait
Speaker 1: what Oh, companies or private individuals can't do whatever they
Speaker 1: want in their business. It turns out, isn't that interesting.
Speaker 1: It's not quite that clear. The expansion of the term
Speaker 1: insurrection now to include just saying things that the Democrats
Speaker 1: don't like. This will be abused. They're doing this for
Speaker 1: a reason. It's not just some catharsis. Because they have
Speaker 1: all this pent up, just this this bile. They're overflowing
Speaker 1: with it after four years of Trump. They can't help themselves.
Speaker 1: I mean, Sonny Houston. They're on the view saying Trump
Speaker 1: Trump supporters have been brainwashed. They just Democrats just voted
Speaker 1: for Joe Biden to be president. I don't care that
Speaker 1: he is president. He's a loser. We all know it.
Speaker 1: This is not an impressive person. This is not a
Speaker 1: person with leadership skills. This is a guy who just
Speaker 1: showed up and did what he had to do to
Speaker 1: play the system and contribute very little for a very
Speaker 1: long time. But they could make him president because he
Speaker 1: wasn't what the Democrat Party really is. Don't you see?
Speaker 1: The whole thing is a head fake. Joe Biden isn't
Speaker 1: really symbolic of what the Democrat Party's all about. Now.
Speaker 1: He's not woke, he's not leftist, he's not radical, but
Speaker 1: he's also not really anything. So he'll do whatever the
Speaker 1: woke leftist want him to where and when he can,
Speaker 1: and he gives He gives the corporations less anxiety because
Speaker 1: big tech and big companies are gonna be just fine
Speaker 1: inner a Biden presidency. Oh here, Amazon, Google. You know,
Speaker 1: if you're you're somebody that's you know, that's a that's
Speaker 1: a winning proposition. I'm sure if you've got investments in
Speaker 1: some of these major companies out there under a Biden presidency,
Speaker 1: they're gonna do just fine. Small business has been decimated
Speaker 1: by the pandemic and lockdowns that Democrats have largely pushed,
Speaker 1: and it's not going to come back because small business
Speaker 1: is too autonomous. There's too much liberty involved in somebody
Speaker 1: running their own commercial venture, providing products or services to
Speaker 1: a public that wants them in a lawful and productive
Speaker 1: Fashion's that they don't. They want megacorporations that can have
Speaker 1: D and I specialists and on every floor of the building.
Speaker 1: They're gonna want HR departments to be the shock troops
Speaker 1: of wokeism, and they're gonna get it. They're gonna pass
Speaker 1: federal legislation and executive orders that create these new concepts
Speaker 1: around equity. You know what equity is. We tell people
Speaker 1: what they get and we tell other people what they
Speaker 1: don't get based on ethnicity, gender, skin color, you name it.
Speaker 1: That's right, that's what we're definitely heading for. I never mind,
Speaker 1: of course, the likelihood here that we may have a
Speaker 1: major challenge facing a Biden administration that has Joe Biden
Speaker 1: in charge. This guy just isn't up for the job.
Speaker 1: And I know that he won, or you know, I
Speaker 1: know that he's president, and he's not up for the job.
Speaker 1: So what does that mean? Make note now of how
Speaker 1: journalists and the the the corporate media will sneer, They
Speaker 1: will sneer at anyone who even raises the prospect of
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris taking over for Joe Biden. And yet I
Speaker 1: think we all understand that there's a very serious possibility
Speaker 1: just based on age. It's this isn't some outlandish theory.
Speaker 1: I mean, the guy is gonna be eighty by the
Speaker 1: mid terms, you know, so we're gonna have somebody who's
Speaker 1: getting into his early and then mid eighties, especially if
Speaker 1: he goes into a second term. Come on, now, Kamala
Speaker 1: at some point just gets to be president. Isn't that interesting?
Speaker 1: Isn't that a fascinating way for this to continue on?
Speaker 1: So I think that we have to just take a
Speaker 1: moment here, take a breather, and recognize that we are
Speaker 1: going to be dealing with a very a very emboldened
Speaker 1: and aggressive Democrat left now and they could. You know,
Speaker 1: they have an opportunity here. It's all been set up,
Speaker 1: and the President really alluded to this in his closing remarks.
Speaker 1: With the vaccines already being distributed, with the worst of
Speaker 1: winter now pretty much behind us, we're going to be
Speaker 1: entering a phase here where things could be really good
Speaker 1: for the country. You have the reopening of you have
Speaker 1: the return of basic freedoms, but no, what you're going
Speaker 1: to get is more mask mania, lockdown, lockdown demands and
Speaker 1: then only on their timetable and their schedule. Only when
Speaker 1: the Democrats say so, can you start to have some
Speaker 1: aspects of your life back. They like this control. Oh,
Speaker 1: and they're going to reassert it for other things too.
Speaker 1: You don't think that they believe that climate emergency is
Speaker 1: enough to violate the Constitution, don't You don't think they
Speaker 1: believe that there will be ways for them to expand
Speaker 1: on the de dictatorial powers that Democrat governors like Cuomo
Speaker 1: and Newsom have taken into their hands here because of
Speaker 1: an emergency. But you think this is the only emergency,
Speaker 1: Just wait till they declare a gun violence emergency. And
Speaker 1: they did, and they say there's a mandatory statewide buy
Speaker 1: back in effect for certain weapons too extreme, You say, no,
Speaker 1: it is not. Can't say it's too extreme. When Democrats
Speaker 1: are running around telling everybody that they needed to make
Speaker 1: sure that the National Guard current, that the National Guard
Speaker 1: that was that was assigned to guard the Biden inauguration,
Speaker 1: twenty seven thousand or so of them needed to be
Speaker 1: vetted for pro Trump sympathies, as if that's that's equivalent
Speaker 1: al Qaeda jihadism, right, the ideology of a global jihad
Speaker 1: being waged for the the creation of a caliphate to
Speaker 1: dominate all people's, all religions for all time. Yeah, being
Speaker 1: a Trump supporter, it's just like that. Here's DC's Mayor
Speaker 1: Bowser who's totally on board. There's the mayor washing DC
Speaker 1: totally onboard. Yeah, we got to make sure there's no no,
Speaker 1: there was nobody in the National Guard who, you know,
Speaker 1: too much of a Trump support, too much of a
Speaker 1: Trump radical play forward. When you have guards coming, guardsmen
Speaker 1: and women coming from all over the country at this time,
Speaker 1: I do think that it is is prudent to make
Speaker 1: sure that they're being vetted and that anybody who cannot
Speaker 1: pledge allegiance to um to their missions and maybe pulled
Speaker 1: by other views. Needs not only to be removed from
Speaker 1: this duty. They need to be removed from the guard,
Speaker 1: kicked out of the military for now. You could say,
Speaker 1: oh no, they would only do this if you were
Speaker 1: a real extremist plotting violence. You believe that you think
Speaker 1: that they're gonna let let bygones be bygones. Now. You
Speaker 1: got a lot of hashtag maga up on your Facebook page.
Speaker 1: They want to give that one a second thought. You
Speaker 1: got a lot of Trump photos and Trump paraphernalia all
Speaker 1: over your social media accounts or your office cubical for
Speaker 1: that matter. Democrats want you to know they're not forgetting
Speaker 1: this one, but I'm not forgetting it either. We remember
Speaker 1: who we are, what we stand for, and what we're
Speaker 1: trying to do for this country, and that doesn't change
Speaker 1: because of one election cycle. It doesn't change because of
Speaker 1: the departure of one politician from office. Our fight continues on.
Speaker 1: We may have to play some defense for a while,
Speaker 1: but it will only be a while. This is the

Speaker 1: He may read it on the show. My fear is
Speaker 1: that if Republicans, particularly Republican leadership, goes along with this impeachment,
Speaker 1: they'll destroy the party. And so I think it's a
Speaker 1: huge mistake. I think it's a hugely partisan exercise on
Speaker 1: the part of the Democrats, but for Republicans who go
Speaker 1: along with it, I think they'll destroy our party. Donald
Speaker 1: Trump isn't everything in the party, but he did bring
Speaker 1: a lot of people to the party, and I think
Speaker 1: it's a huge mistake for people to say, oh, well,
Speaker 1: we're just going to impeach him, and that all of
Speaker 1: the blue collar workers that he brought to our party
Speaker 1: are going to stay. No. I think quite a few
Speaker 1: them will be unhappy. So I hope our leadership will
Speaker 1: think twice about these undercurrents and rumblings about them actually
Speaker 1: voting for impeachment. I sure hope it doesn't happen. It's
Speaker 1: a disaster if they do that. Republicans should absolutely not.
Speaker 1: Joe Biden is now president. Why are we even Why
Speaker 1: is there even a conversation about continuing in the Congress
Speaker 1: to take punitive action against a now ex president. What
Speaker 1: is the point of this, What does it serve oh
Speaker 1: to allow for a cleansing of the Republican Party, right,
Speaker 1: they have to get rid of the moral rot, as
Speaker 1: one late night alleged comedian says, they have to make
Speaker 1: sure that what should we be taking advice about our party,
Speaker 1: about the Republican Party from the likes of Harry Reid.
Speaker 1: Here he is sixteen. I all things, working with McConnell
Speaker 1: for many years, I have he can be accused of
Speaker 1: a lot of things, but one of them he's not done.
Speaker 1: And I think he realizes that Trump is a drag
Speaker 1: on the Republican Party. And I think that that was
Speaker 1: the opening salvo for Mitch McConnell to disengage from Trump
Speaker 1: to try to re establish a rebrand the Republican Party.
Speaker 1: Trump is a dragon the Republican Party, according to Harry Reid,
Speaker 1: which means you definitely don't want to impeach this guy
Speaker 1: and go through that whole removal process so that he
Speaker 1: can never be in office again. You know, if the
Speaker 1: Senate has this trial. This is wrong on so many levels,
Speaker 1: But I always tell you don't take advice from your enemies,
Speaker 1: don't don't do what they want you to do. And
Speaker 1: this right now is a perfect example of a situation
Speaker 1: like that. It would be. It would be absurd, absolutely
Speaker 1: absurd at this stage to do it. It's also unconstitutional.
Speaker 1: It's also just unnecessarily divisive within our own party. Trump
Speaker 1: is gone. He left. Okay, they didn't have to send
Speaker 1: in squat teams to the Oval Office to drag him
Speaker 1: out or anything. All that crazy crap that people were saying.
Speaker 1: That didn't happen. He's gone, he left the Oval Office.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, now what we're gonna repudiate everything? Yeah,
Speaker 1: the Trump presidency wasn't perfect. No presidency is. And in
Speaker 1: the end, yes, I got Matt, I was. I was
Speaker 1: angry at this administration for what happened after the election.
Speaker 1: I will admit that I was an m very annoyed
Speaker 1: about what they did and what and what went on.
Speaker 1: I'm talking about from the administration. I'm not talking about
Speaker 1: the actual rioters. I've already spoken about that. But the
Speaker 1: first three years of the Trump presidency were in a
Speaker 1: lot of ways just great, very good policymaking decisions, good
Speaker 1: on trade, good on the border, good on immigration. You
Speaker 1: go down the list of all of Trump's accomplishments, the
Speaker 1: things that were done. Some excellent judicial picks, a lot
Speaker 1: of excellent judicial picks, and of course a number that
Speaker 1: went to the Supreme Court. Kavanaugh and Amy coneyt ACB
Speaker 1: may end up being one of the greatest things that
Speaker 1: Trump even got done. Kavanaugh perhaps not as much, although
Speaker 1: I still hold to this day that the Kavanaugh hearings
Speaker 1: and what the Democrats, including Vice President Kamala Harris did
Speaker 1: to Brett Kavanaugh, was a moment of clarity, a moment
Speaker 1: of recognition for millions of conservatives across the country. Well,
Speaker 1: a lot more people are going to be getting the
Speaker 1: Kavanaugh treatment now, make no mistake about it. All many
Speaker 1: more people are going to be attacked, maligned, slander, deep platformed, canceled,
Speaker 1: you name it. This is, unfortunately now, the kind of
Speaker 1: political climate. This is a consequence of our elections. Now,
Speaker 1: the Democrats when they win, think that they have a
Speaker 1: free hand to punish people for their wrong idea is
Speaker 1: it's it's not enough to be able to enact the
Speaker 1: policies that they want. They want to be able to humiliate,
Speaker 1: control and force the other side into submission and then
Speaker 1: maybe we can have a conversation and then maybe we
Speaker 1: could have a discussion about unity again. Right first, there
Speaker 1: has to go through this period perhaps let's say a
Speaker 1: year or two of it, you know, up and up
Speaker 1: until the midterms, of removing all remnants of Trumpism from
Speaker 1: not just politics, but public discourse. Everything you're gonna see
Speaker 1: if you've already had some of this, they're gonna see
Speaker 1: stores and in place say we're not even we're not
Speaker 1: going to sell maga gear. I mean, they're they're going
Speaker 1: to try to treat uh, anything that is that is
Speaker 1: directly affiliated with Trump as as some kind of hate
Speaker 1: symbol that they have to if they have to expunge
Speaker 1: into their minds from the culture. So we're the ones
Speaker 1: who have to say, no, you can't do that. This
Speaker 1: isn't the Soviet Union. Libs. Even though you've won this election,
Speaker 1: you're in the freedom hunt. Thanks for listening to The
Speaker 1: buck Sexton Show podcast. Get the latest from Bucket buck
Speaker 1: Sexton dot com. Where we go from here? What's next
Speaker 1: for the GOP, for the Republican Party, Faithful, the base
Speaker 1: and everything around it, everyone in between. Let's get to
Speaker 1: our friend Rob Smith. Now. He is a veteran and
Speaker 1: author and contributor to the first TV Rob How are
Speaker 1: you feeling today? I'm good man, I'm good aboutself. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm obviously I'm disappointed for the country, but I
Speaker 1: also understand that we're going to get through this. It'll
Speaker 1: be all right. I hate the phrase it's not the
Speaker 1: end of the world, but it really isn't. But let's
Speaker 1: let's get more constructive than that. I mean, first off,
Speaker 1: what were your feelings about this presidency on its as
Speaker 1: its last has now happened? I mean, he has Nola.
Speaker 1: It is now ex President Trump. What you're feeling about
Speaker 1: the four years? I feel like we should start to
Speaker 1: have a conversation about what really happened here, the good,
Speaker 1: the bad, and the ugly. Yeah. So, look, I did
Speaker 1: an episode of my podcast at Lunches this week. It's
Speaker 1: basically called we all need to end our obsession with
Speaker 1: President Trump, and I think that how we move forward
Speaker 1: as a goop and when we think about really what
Speaker 1: this administration was in the past four years, there have
Speaker 1: been a lot of amazing things that happened. We got
Speaker 1: the best economy that at one point the world had
Speaker 1: ever seen. We had criminal justice reform, we had cutting
Speaker 1: through red tape. We had basically a vaccine for a
Speaker 1: deadly virus that crippled the world in less than a
Speaker 1: year like these are some really really amazing things, and
Speaker 1: I think that as we look back at this presidency,
Speaker 1: we can see some really great things that happened in
Speaker 1: terms of policies, like the policies were great, in terms
Speaker 1: of arguing with no name reporters, in terms of some
Speaker 1: of the tweets, in terms of some of the kind
Speaker 1: of NonStop controversies. I think that we all got a
Speaker 1: little over that towards the end. But I think that
Speaker 1: this is not so much. I think President Trump had
Speaker 1: had a lot to do with it, but it was
Speaker 1: also I mean, he was just frustrated by battling a
Speaker 1: media industry and entertainment industry, so many people who were
Speaker 1: against him, and I think that's where all of that
Speaker 1: stuff came from. But I think in order for us
Speaker 1: to move forward as conservatives, as a Republican Party, I
Speaker 1: think that a lot of us have to get over
Speaker 1: this obsession with President Trump, and by that I mean
Speaker 1: to make one person be the entirety of all of
Speaker 1: our political hopes or all of our political dreams are
Speaker 1: basically the political future other Republican Party is very shortsighted.
Speaker 1: I think that a very strong thing that he said
Speaker 1: during his farewell address was that we built this movement.
Speaker 1: He kept on saying we we we, and I thought
Speaker 1: that was very strategic and that was amazing, because it
Speaker 1: is going to be up to we the people. Whether
Speaker 1: you're a part of the MAGA movement, whether you're just
Speaker 1: a mainstream conservative, whether you're an independent or libertarian who
Speaker 1: just so happens to be attracted to conservative policies, It's
Speaker 1: going to be up to us to take the mantle
Speaker 1: from here on out. And I think that this now
Speaker 1: official Biden presidency is going to give a lot of
Speaker 1: us opportunities to say, look, guys, this is what you wanted,
Speaker 1: and we are going to show you why these policies
Speaker 1: don't work, because, unfortunately, we are going to see it
Speaker 1: over the next four years in real time, why left
Speaker 1: democratic policies do not work. Rob Where do you come
Speaker 1: down on the debate over whether Biden is going to
Speaker 1: be a a moderating force within the Democratic Party. I
Speaker 1: don't think it's fair to call him a moderate, because
Speaker 1: the Democrat Party is not in any way a centrist
Speaker 1: party anymore. But do you think that he'll be because
Speaker 1: essentially he got elected because he didn't he didn't frightened
Speaker 1: certain voters who would be uncomfortable voting for saying I've
Speaker 1: been socialists, right. That was the pat was really the pitch.
Speaker 1: He's been around forever and so he was non threatening
Speaker 1: in a sense. But there is a very radical left,
Speaker 1: not fringe, but now I think we could say vanguard
Speaker 1: in the Democrat Party. Do you think that they're gonna
Speaker 1: have Joe Biden as a moderating influence on their desires
Speaker 1: or is he just going to be a pass through
Speaker 1: for what they want? Essentially? Look, I think he's going
Speaker 1: to be a passing for what they want. And I
Speaker 1: think that he's not gonna stop any of this rhetoric
Speaker 1: that's coming from these far left and I can't even
Speaker 1: say far left media personals and whatever, because these are
Speaker 1: Congress congressmen and women that are saying some pretty insane things.
Speaker 1: Joe Biden's not going to stop them. He's not going
Speaker 1: to be a moderating force to this, because what it
Speaker 1: is is that the left blank of the party sees
Speaker 1: blood in the water. He may not repeat some of
Speaker 1: the stuff that he's not going to stop them from
Speaker 1: saying it. And I don't think that he's going to
Speaker 1: be a very moderating force at all. I think that
Speaker 1: that there are a lot of people that get that
Speaker 1: get a lot of attention via what they say on
Speaker 1: Twitter and what they say on social media. Look at
Speaker 1: AOC looking Corey Bushel and Jamal Bowman, look at all
Speaker 1: of these people. They're very, very far left. And Joe
Speaker 1: Biden is a pretty week leader. As a matter of fact,
Speaker 1: he failed the first test as a leader of Democrat
Speaker 1: Party in order to moderate people when he failed to
Speaker 1: really speak up forcefully about the riots that left America
Speaker 1: in claims over the past summer that were started by
Speaker 1: people on the left and that were cheerleaded by the
Speaker 1: now Vice president Kamala Harris. So is he going to
Speaker 1: be a moderating for us? No, I just absolutely not.
Speaker 1: He's two week of a leader to be a moderating
Speaker 1: for us. Speaking of Rob Smith, he is a veteran
Speaker 1: author and first TV contributor. Rob, you were somebody who
Speaker 1: who I think perhaps celebrated maga culture is fair to say, right,
Speaker 1: I mean you never walked away from that. You were
Speaker 1: very very popular among the maga folks out there. And
Speaker 1: what do you you know? One thing that I will
Speaker 1: say about Trump that I felt never really got enough attention.
Speaker 1: Was that there were there were young people. Uh, there
Speaker 1: were young you know, there there were people in their
Speaker 1: twenties and thirties who felt like, you know, they could
Speaker 1: go and wear a MAGA hat and and that they
Speaker 1: there was a culture around Trump. There was a kind
Speaker 1: of a kind of of political um you know, a
Speaker 1: political celebration of day to day life that that he
Speaker 1: was a part of. Do you think that continues in
Speaker 1: any way? I mean, because the Republican Party brand before
Speaker 1: him was much more you know, old stodgy, white males
Speaker 1: who play golf and you know I were working corporate jobs, right,
Speaker 1: that's the stereotype or or you know, there's another one
Speaker 1: for different parts of the country. But you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I mean there's kind of this. You look
Speaker 1: at the leadership. You know, Bush and Cheney and McCain
Speaker 1: and Romney. These are not guys that inspire memes in
Speaker 1: a positive way. Do you think that that continues now
Speaker 1: with Trump, even though he's not in office. I really
Speaker 1: do think that it contains with a Maga movement because
Speaker 1: you have to look at the types of people that
Speaker 1: were brought into this people like me and I make
Speaker 1: no bones about the fact that I've obviously risen to
Speaker 1: prominence in the past a couple of years due to
Speaker 1: large part of my support for President Trump and sort
Speaker 1: of being embraced by the MAGA movement, which I will
Speaker 1: never turn my backbone because I know what it stands for.
Speaker 1: It I believe in what it stands for. And I
Speaker 1: think that a lot of the people that have come
Speaker 1: to prominence that are part of this movement, that are
Speaker 1: that are creators, people that are that are entertaining, people
Speaker 1: that can do different things like I can you know,
Speaker 1: be here and speak to you about politics, that I
Speaker 1: can go do a TikTok challenge. And and what Trump
Speaker 1: did was he brought this energy and it's almost kind
Speaker 1: of like an entertainment culture esque energy into the party.
Speaker 1: And I think that the challenge for the party right now.
Speaker 1: And this is what the Democrat Party is amazing at
Speaker 1: it personally because they have the backing of the entire
Speaker 1: you know, Hollywood, media, music, and entertainment industry. But it
Speaker 1: behooves us as Republicans to say, Okay, you've got you know,
Speaker 1: the old school mainstream you know Republicans, the Romneys and
Speaker 1: all those But then You've got those of us that
Speaker 1: are out here actually creating our own culture on social media,
Speaker 1: on the internet. Sometimes you know people like me that
Speaker 1: pop back and forth between television. But you have to
Speaker 1: bring these things together and make them a unified movement.
Speaker 1: And I think that there is no candidate for president
Speaker 1: that's a Republican of the future. There is no candidate
Speaker 1: for Congress in the future that does not go through
Speaker 1: the MAGA base. So I think that it's very important
Speaker 1: to continue engaging that base. How worried are you rob
Speaker 1: about the wave of not just I think it even
Speaker 1: will go beyond cancelation. I think we're going to see
Speaker 1: a public private partnership of idea suppression. Right, So it's
Speaker 1: it's one thing, you know, cancelation is what happens to
Speaker 1: you for the wrong ideas. They're going to now go
Speaker 1: even further up the the source if you will there,
Speaker 1: They're gonna go further up the chain and prevent people
Speaker 1: from even being able to share these ideas. Oh and
Speaker 1: if you try, you will be canceled. What do you
Speaker 1: see happening and how how do people like you and
Speaker 1: me and others listening to this prepare for that. I
Speaker 1: think that honestly, in my opinion, it's going to get
Speaker 1: worse before it gets better. And one critique that I
Speaker 1: do have of the administration is that there is ample
Speaker 1: opportunity to really do something about this m and it
Speaker 1: never happened. So that is that is a really big
Speaker 1: failing on the part of the the outgoing administration. But
Speaker 1: I do think that it's going to get worse. How
Speaker 1: do we prepare for it? I mean, I personally always
Speaker 1: wanted to make sure that I'm out there in different
Speaker 1: places than Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Who knows how long
Speaker 1: those platforms will still be available to me. And I
Speaker 1: think that for the people who fear this cancel culture mob,
Speaker 1: who fear more suppression of ideas, what we have to
Speaker 1: do is we have to start leaning on the people
Speaker 1: that we've elected, the people that we will continue to
Speaker 1: put an office in the future, is to do something
Speaker 1: about this. Don't just talk about it, don't just tweet
Speaker 1: about it, actually do something about it. And we have
Speaker 1: to start calling out the people in power that are,
Speaker 1: you know, being lobbied by Facebook, by Twitter, by Instagram,
Speaker 1: by all of these different places in order to kind
Speaker 1: of keep the status quo. So I don't think that
Speaker 1: a Republican is going to get elected congressman or even
Speaker 1: president of the future if they don't have a really
Speaker 1: strong stance against this kind of censorship and an idea
Speaker 1: about what to do about it. But I have to say,
Speaker 1: and I say this a lot on the rocks about
Speaker 1: this problematic podcast as well, is that it's going to
Speaker 1: have to take same voices on the left too, even
Speaker 1: some rules realize that this kind of suppression and this
Speaker 1: kind of clamping down on free speech is not good,
Speaker 1: because some of them realize that the pendulum can very
Speaker 1: easily shift in their way as well. So I think
Speaker 1: that it's going to take a lot of thinking people
Speaker 1: who really are advocates for free speech on the right
Speaker 1: and the left to come together and to fix this Facebook, Instagram, Twitter,
Speaker 1: These things are too big and they need to be
Speaker 1: broken up. Now we don't have control not only of
Speaker 1: the presidency, either of the House or the Senate. What
Speaker 1: do you think of calls to try to organize at
Speaker 1: the state and local level where possible, to try to
Speaker 1: create I guess you could say bulwarks of liberty against
Speaker 1: the encroachment of the federal government. Where where possible? Where
Speaker 1: where that's a lawful option, or also just to begin
Speaker 1: to create. You know, we're starting to see outflow from
Speaker 1: blue areas, New York being one of them, down to Florida.
Speaker 1: You're seeing people leave California. A lot of them are conservatives.
Speaker 1: And maybe this this great blue red sorting that is
Speaker 1: going on right now, of which I may become apart
Speaker 1: at some point myself, to be honest with you in
Speaker 1: the pretty near future, that this also raises opportunities. You know,
Speaker 1: it really does. And I really agree with the fact
Speaker 1: that people have to start, you know, operating on the
Speaker 1: local level as well. I'm a I'm a defector. I
Speaker 1: left New York and I came down here to Florida.
Speaker 1: I'm in Florida, absolutely amazing. But what we really have
Speaker 1: to do is we have to make sure so when
Speaker 1: people are fleeing these blue states and coming to red states,
Speaker 1: that we are keeping these states read. And I think,
Speaker 1: in absence of any kind of majority in the House,
Speaker 1: but I do think we'll get it back in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty two. But I really do think that we have
Speaker 1: to start thinking in terms of that. And I like
Speaker 1: this word that you use, this sort of like bulwark
Speaker 1: against what's being closman of the federal government. Because me
Speaker 1: living in Florida, with the great Governor Ron de Santis
Speaker 1: in Florida, I feel a part of the reason why
Speaker 1: I'm not as betalistic as some other people is because
Speaker 1: I live in Florida and it is a great place
Speaker 1: to live, and I'm going to work to keep it
Speaker 1: a great place to live. Right there are still the
Speaker 1: genius of the founders is that we have a constitution
Speaker 1: that we know Democrats will try to shred at many opportunities,
Speaker 1: but we still have it, and we have states and
Speaker 1: state responsibilities. So there are there are options here to
Speaker 1: try to pursue a more shall we say, capitalist and
Speaker 1: liberty based future for for individuals and for families out
Speaker 1: there who listening to this while staying in the United States.
Speaker 1: I'm not advocating. I'm not some cry baby labels gonna
Speaker 1: say we should all move to New Zealand or Canada
Speaker 1: or whatever. No, there are ways to stay here in
Speaker 1: this country. There is the fight, the political fight that's
Speaker 1: worth that's worth having. And I just wanted to want
Speaker 1: to know if you have some you know, what are
Speaker 1: your your words of a couragement? This is a tough
Speaker 1: day for a lot of people. Rob a lot of
Speaker 1: people listening to this are having a rough one, and
Speaker 1: and I'm I'm also cycle. I've been psychologically preparing for
Speaker 1: it quite honestly since I'd say a couple of weeks
Speaker 1: after the election, when I felt like these legal challenges
Speaker 1: we were very remote in the probability of success for
Speaker 1: for a lot of other people, though, this this really stings.
Speaker 1: What are your you know, what's your halftime coach speech for?
Speaker 1: You know? There there are better times ahead for America.
Speaker 1: You know I mean that said there are better times
Speaker 1: ahead for America. But look, the thing about it is
Speaker 1: is that when you love this country, you believe in
Speaker 1: this country, you gotta love it and believe in it
Speaker 1: no matter what. And if you're somebody that's out there
Speaker 1: that's feeling I'm discouraged or kind of like overwhelmed by
Speaker 1: all of this, I would say, use this fire to
Speaker 1: think about how you can get involved to change things.
Speaker 1: The great thing about this Magol move is that so
Speaker 1: many people got involved that were not involved before. Let's
Speaker 1: think about how if you're a concer innervative and you
Speaker 1: have conservative leaning principles or Republican principles or whatever. How
Speaker 1: you can get involved in the local level, how you
Speaker 1: can do things that are a little bit different. I
Speaker 1: know me personally, I'm involved in this way. I do
Speaker 1: a lot of political commentary, but I think that we
Speaker 1: have a cultural deficit with conservatives, and I'm focusing a
Speaker 1: little bit of my energy on doing culture stuff. So
Speaker 1: I think that we all have something to offer. Do
Speaker 1: not be defeated, Do not give up, never ever quit.
Speaker 1: Dust yourself off, lick your wounds, and think about your
Speaker 1: next steps forwards, positively impacting our great nation. Rob Smith
Speaker 1: from the First TV My man always good to see you.
Speaker 1: Better days ahead for both of us. We'll talk soon. Absolutely.
Speaker 1: Thanks Buck, you're in the freedom hunt. Thanks for listening
Speaker 1: to The Buck Sexton Show podcast. Get the latest from
Speaker 1: Buck at buck sexton dot com. Moving to the Biden administration,
Speaker 1: let me just bring up something that we really haven't
Speaker 1: had time to talk about over the past several months.
Speaker 1: Joe Biden through all this chaos. Of course, there have
Speaker 1: been many things that have been detrimental to a smooth
Speaker 1: start for the Biden administration. But one thing that Biden
Speaker 1: has had is cover because the media has been chasing
Speaker 1: one story after another about Donald Trump, as we have
Speaker 1: from the from the start, and Joe Biden has not
Speaker 1: gotten the close look that most president elects have gotten.
Speaker 1: We certainly remember Bill Clinton, for instance, started his administration
Speaker 1: in the rockiest of ways. This is something that Biden
Speaker 1: and his team are going to be noticing over the
Speaker 1: past the coming weeks. They are suddenly going to feel
Speaker 1: the hot glare of those cleague lights that are being
Speaker 1: turned from Donald Trump now and going to be focusing
Speaker 1: squarely on them. I mean, this is honestly the funny
Speaker 1: is this is honestly the funniest thing Joe Scarborough said,
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe ever, Yeah, all of a sudden, now, yeah,
Speaker 1: Joe Biden's really gonna be on the hot seat. Media
Speaker 1: is really gonna be kicking the tires now, oh oh sure,
Speaker 1: now that they foisted this guy on the American public,
Speaker 1: Now that they suppress the Hunter Biden laptop store, I
Speaker 1: mean actively shut down a news organization, the New York Post,
Speaker 1: from being able to share true information going to a
Speaker 1: presidential elect presidential candidates fitness for office. Now that all
Speaker 1: that has happened, they're gonna be like the really serious
Speaker 1: journals now now they're gonna say, oh, who is this
Speaker 1: Biden guy? Oh, maybe maybe we should ask them quite
Speaker 1: notting that's not gonna happen. But they're gonna say, see,
Speaker 1: this is the whole game with journalists. Oh, it's gonna
Speaker 1: be tough. We don't want to have to be so
Speaker 1: tough on Joe. But you know that's what's gonna be
Speaker 1: happening here. No, it is not. They are gonna be
Speaker 1: giving this guy the equivalent of a Shiatsu massage. Okay,
Speaker 1: they're going to be Joe Biden is going to get
Speaker 1: the kid glove treatment like nothing else you've ever seen.
Speaker 1: We all know it. In fact, not only will they
Speaker 1: be refusing to criticize him, they will viciously attack any
Speaker 1: actual critics that emerge. You're listening to the Buck Sexton
Speaker 1: Joe podcast, make sure you subscribe to the podcast on
Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts. I
Speaker 1: just wanted to comment. I don't know if anyone else
Speaker 1: is struck by just seeing everyone masked, just the kind
Speaker 1: of public you know, sort of performance of responsible behavior,
Speaker 1: even the Republicans are in mask is no longer that
Speaker 1: social pressure from Donald Trump to be maskless, to be
Speaker 1: sort of proudly maskless. It's pretty striking, at least for
Speaker 1: me to see. Not wanting to wear a mask all
Speaker 1: the time, including outside, including alone, going for a hike
Speaker 1: by yourself in the woods, out on the street with
Speaker 1: no than fifty feet of you is not about Trump, Libs.
Speaker 1: I just I hope they will finally start to get this.
Speaker 1: It really isn't about Trump, certainly, not anymore. I still
Speaker 1: hate the mask mania. I still think they dramatically overstate
Speaker 1: what a mandate has done or would would do for us.
Speaker 1: I know the Biden's now got a hundred days of masking.
Speaker 1: We're already masking. We've been masking the whole time. Didn't
Speaker 1: stop the pandemic from reaching its biggest ever second wave
Speaker 1: of cases didn't stop it. That's a fact. And we
Speaker 1: have been masking also a fact in huge numbers all
Speaker 1: across the country for months. But see, now, what are
Speaker 1: they gonna do now they have to make actual arguments
Speaker 1: about things. I mean, they're gonna try to suppress and
Speaker 1: avoid making arguments. But when they're unable to just shut
Speaker 1: down the opposition, hopefully they won't be entirely successful with that.
Speaker 1: They have to turn around to actually deal with facts here.
Speaker 1: They have to, They have to deal with the fact
Speaker 1: that it's not all about Trump. It was never despite
Speaker 1: what they think, you know, oh, the social pressure to know.
Speaker 1: I don't like wearing a mask because it's uncomfortable and
Speaker 1: in many cases it's useless. And because doctor Fauci told
Speaker 1: us at the beginning of this pandemic that it would
Speaker 1: just make people feel better, but it was not a
Speaker 1: necessary public health measure. And that's when we thought the
Speaker 1: fatality rate would be even higher than it is. And
Speaker 1: I've not forgotten that. Then this after the fact justification
Speaker 1: of oh I didn't want people to take up all
Speaker 1: the end ninety five. So I yeah, go and watch
Speaker 1: that interview and tell me if you think that's what Fauci.
Speaker 1: He's a great actor, if that's what he was doing,
Speaker 1: Like we're all such idiots, Well we're all supposed to
Speaker 1: believe that. Sure, it's unreal, unreal, But you know, I
Speaker 1: had a little reminder yesterday, a little reminder lesson and
Speaker 1: it hits close to home. My father, who is seventy
Speaker 1: four is he's you know, great dad, My dad's the greatest,
Speaker 1: And he went to go get the vaccine. He took,
Speaker 1: it took, and the whole thing is, it's been such
Speaker 1: an ordeal. My whole family's been pitching in Troy. You
Speaker 1: got to go online. This is all New York. This
Speaker 1: is you know, New York City, you know it. And
Speaker 1: health department in the whole thing. It's a mess. And
Speaker 1: they've had months and months. They've basically had a year
Speaker 1: to prepare for this, all right. It isn't like we
Speaker 1: asked them to set up some amazing vaccination programmer plan
Speaker 1: in thirty days. And I know some states are better
Speaker 1: than others. And I think that a lot of you
Speaker 1: who live in more sane, more open states, it's hard
Speaker 1: for you to appreciate what your fellow conservatives in New York,
Speaker 1: New Jersey, California, Illinois, what we've gone through in Washington
Speaker 1: State and Oregon. I mean, the stuff that we've been
Speaker 1: put through by our elected officials and and just the
Speaker 1: day to day insanity and the pressures that we've we've
Speaker 1: been under. It's madness. It's absolute madness, and it's really
Speaker 1: worn us down. And I know you'd say, well, you
Speaker 1: got to leave those states. We're working on it. It
Speaker 1: takes time, you know, you got you got jobs, you
Speaker 1: got family. But but no, I think the great exodus
Speaker 1: from Blue states for people that want to live a
Speaker 1: more sane existence. I think it's the momentum is unstoppable.
Speaker 1: Now you're gonna stick around for the next the next
Speaker 1: major disaster, so you can have Newsome and Cuomo and
Speaker 1: these other idiots in charge of you. I don't think so.
Speaker 1: But my dad yesterday was in line. He had to
Speaker 1: go to in Staten Island, which is one of the
Speaker 1: five boroughs here in New York. He had to go
Speaker 1: to Staten Island because he couldn't get an appointment anywhere
Speaker 1: near where he lives. So you know, that's about I mean,
Speaker 1: it depends the New York traffic changes things dramatically. Is
Speaker 1: not that much traffic now, but it's about a forty
Speaker 1: minute forty minute hall together. They're not that bad, but
Speaker 1: it's in a car. You gotta drive thirty or forty minutes.
Speaker 1: And so he gets there and it's almost all senior citizens,
Speaker 1: he says in the line, an enormous line at this
Speaker 1: vaccination site. He gets there forty five minutes early. It's
Speaker 1: all set up by this is all Democrats. This is
Speaker 1: Blue state in action here, friends, all right, there's no
Speaker 1: Republicans in the mix. This is the the New York
Speaker 1: City and New York State Health Apparatus has been handed
Speaker 1: vaccines and told go distribute these to people. And they've
Speaker 1: had a lot of time and a lot of ability
Speaker 1: to prepare for this. So there's there. He's in a
Speaker 1: huge line and of course socially distanced, and they're outside.
Speaker 1: It's it's like thirty three, thirty four degrees yesterday, New
Speaker 1: York City. Well, this is so you've got senior citizens.
Speaker 1: You know, my dad's a robust, robust and handsome fellow
Speaker 1: with a great head of hair. But you know, there
Speaker 1: are some senior citizens who are out there who are
Speaker 1: a little more frail. They gotta walk or they and
Speaker 1: they're in their eighties or their nineties, and they're out
Speaker 1: there freezing their butts off outside because you can't be inside.
Speaker 1: That's too We couldn't. We couldn't figure out a way
Speaker 1: to make this so that at least you could socially
Speaker 1: distance inside with masks on and wait for your vaccine.
Speaker 1: No, no no, no, that that can't be allowed, right, And
Speaker 1: you know, do the temperature checks? Oh, I always one else?
Speaker 1: Do these things actually work? In any meaningful way, because
Speaker 1: whenever it comes down to it, they just sort of
Speaker 1: go back to the we can't trust it, you know.
Speaker 1: So even if you socially distance and mask and temperature
Speaker 1: check and wash your hand before you go in. Let's say,
Speaker 1: for this to a facility they'll do vaccinations, you're still
Speaker 1: at too high a risk. So you got to wait
Speaker 1: outside and freeze your butt off. So my dad gets there,
Speaker 1: he's forty five minutes early. My mom is waiting in
Speaker 1: the car for him, and she doesn't qualify for the
Speaker 1: vaccine yet because she's she's a bit younger than she's
Speaker 1: in her sixties, so she doesn't qualify. You've got to
Speaker 1: be over sixty five. And he's waiting, and he gets there,
Speaker 1: he's right on time, and he waits before anyone even
Speaker 1: says he's in this line, just imagine standing. Here's no chairs,
Speaker 1: there's no nothing. These are people in their seventies and
Speaker 1: their eighties and you know, some in their late sixties obviously,
Speaker 1: and they're standing in line, he says, for two hours.
Speaker 1: The line barely moves. This is getting people's shots. You
Speaker 1: have to wait. I mean, my whole family was pitching
Speaker 1: and going online trying to see where we could go.
Speaker 1: How you get the appointment, You have to wait to
Speaker 1: do that, and then you get there, you have your appointment,
Speaker 1: time you show up, you're in the system, and you're
Speaker 1: standing outside in the freezing cold for two hours without
Speaker 1: a line even moving. And remember New York as of
Speaker 1: yesterday was officially saying Mayor Build de Blasi, who said
Speaker 1: that New York City might run out of COVID vaccine
Speaker 1: as soon as Thursday, entirely might. The supply might be
Speaker 1: gone by Thursday. Now who knows. I haven't been able
Speaker 1: to check on this one today at the specific site
Speaker 1: if this has happened anywhere yet. But there have been
Speaker 1: instances where people have waited in line and then they're told, sorry,
Speaker 1: we're all out of vaccine. So you're waiting in line
Speaker 1: for two hours, no one's really telling you anything, and
Speaker 1: then they make the decision that the city bureaucrats make
Speaker 1: the decision to go down and they start saying, well, who,
Speaker 1: you know, let's say that we're at now five pm
Speaker 1: Eastern time, or you know, we're around that period, and
Speaker 1: they'd say, well, who had a three o'clock appointment? And
Speaker 1: people at the back of the line who got there
Speaker 1: very late. Some of them are saying, well, I had
Speaker 1: a three o'clock appointment, but they're behind all the people
Speaker 1: who had the four o'clock appointment, and it's already five o'clock.
Speaker 1: Guess what they do. Okay, well the three o'clocks, we're
Speaker 1: gonna move you. You're now going right now, you're you're
Speaker 1: at the front of the line. Oh so you're waiting
Speaker 1: there a line for no reason because it's not really
Speaker 1: a line. They just don't know what they're doing. And
Speaker 1: now they're gonna take people have just arrived but are
Speaker 1: three hours or two hours late for their appointment. You
Speaker 1: can imagine how that went over with the gathered senior citizens,
Speaker 1: socially distanced, masked up in thirty degree weather. Did not
Speaker 1: go over well. And and then they came up and
Speaker 1: I remember my my mom actually was the one who
Speaker 1: gave me the call. She said, they just came out.
Speaker 1: He's been in line for two hours, and they said
Speaker 1: it's going to be They came out and told them
Speaker 1: it was dark at this point, right the sun's already down,
Speaker 1: so it's now nighttime standing outside in the dark, basically,
Speaker 1: and this at this center in Staten Island where they're
Speaker 1: giving these uh, they're giving these vaccines out. So it's
Speaker 1: it's now getting colder. And they come out and they
Speaker 1: say to his section of the line, he says, there
Speaker 1: are hundreds and hundreds of people in line. It's gonna
Speaker 1: be at least two more hours. Now, I gotta ask you,
Speaker 1: you know, because people are it's funny when I when
Speaker 1: I shared this, I mean, it's not funny, but it's
Speaker 1: when when I showed this on Twitter, people are saying,
Speaker 1: you should stay if it's twin twelve hours? Really? Really
Speaker 1: would would you? Would you stand in a line run
Speaker 1: by the Democrats City government of Government of New York
Speaker 1: for twelve hours to get a vaccine for a virus
Speaker 1: that has been around for over a year that other
Speaker 1: people are already getting vaccinated for. And even if you
Speaker 1: get it, even if you're in the high risk category,
Speaker 1: your odds are ninety seven percent of being okay, not
Speaker 1: ninety nine. It's like ninety seven out of one hundred
Speaker 1: will survive, even the h even in the higher risk category.
Speaker 1: Would would you stay at twelve how about twenty four hours?
Speaker 1: You know? What about passing out? When is it too much?
Speaker 1: And It's one of these things where I also know
Speaker 1: I know people in New York. I know people in
Speaker 1: New York who have been able to get appointments for
Speaker 1: the COVID nineteen vaccine easily, and they and they just
Speaker 1: show up at a nice com place and they get
Speaker 1: their shot. But you know, and they're in their twenties
Speaker 1: and thirties, but they're part of the teachers union. Oh okay,
Speaker 1: And do you think that those teachers that I know
Speaker 1: who have gotten shots for the vaccine ahead of people
Speaker 1: like my parents, who are at an age where they
Speaker 1: are in the risk category. Do you think that those
Speaker 1: teachers are back in the classroom in all cases as
Speaker 1: soon as they get that vaccine, All right, you're now
Speaker 1: a classroom. No, they're still zoom teaching. That's that's on
Speaker 1: so many level important for you to know this, because
Speaker 1: we are ruled by morons. You need to remember that
Speaker 1: the people that are making these decisions are not impressive,
Speaker 1: they're not very smart, and they don't really care. There's
Speaker 1: no real accountability. If you're standing in that line for
Speaker 1: four hours and you get to the end of it
Speaker 1: and they say, oh, sorry, you know, we actually gave
Speaker 1: your vaccine somebody else, or we're out, or oh no,
Speaker 1: we had a different name on the list. What do
Speaker 1: you think your recourse is? Nothing? Can't go to the
Speaker 1: other city vaccine place down the street, right. It's not
Speaker 1: like a restaurant. What's your recourse? You have none. It's
Speaker 1: like a little like a little taste of dealing with
Speaker 1: the Soviet Union here in New York. And I'm sure
Speaker 1: there are similar stories like this in other places across
Speaker 1: the country, and not just in Blue states. Mind you,
Speaker 1: bureaucracy is inefficient because the people who are bureaucrats generally
Speaker 1: don't care. Not enough to be excellent, not enough to
Speaker 1: go the not enough to go the extra mile and
Speaker 1: hold themselves accountable, none of that stuff. They'll do the minimum.
Speaker 1: Bureaucrats do. The men Bau exceptions to this. You enough
Speaker 1: to send me an email telling me about you know,
Speaker 1: your your uncle Morty, who was like the best, you know,
Speaker 1: transit worker in the history of the world, driving the
Speaker 1: bus every day. I know there are people that go
Speaker 1: the extra other people that do that in everything, but
Speaker 1: the culture of bureaucracies in general is the minimum and mediocrity.
Speaker 1: And this is why you don't want government in control.
Speaker 1: Of your life. This is why you don't want government
Speaker 1: making decisions for you. That's one part of this. The
Speaker 1: other part is how stupid are the people making these
Speaker 1: determinations at the top level. Now, I'm not talking about
Speaker 1: the low level bureaucrats, the top level, the Cuomos, the
Speaker 1: de Blasios, the Neosoms, the Gretchen Whitmers in Michigan, the
Speaker 1: I forget the name of the governor in Oregon off
Speaker 1: the top of my head, but you know that governor's
Speaker 1: an idiot too, right, I mean, the governor's all out there.
Speaker 1: The leadership in places like Washington State and Colorado, how
Speaker 1: dumb are they when it comes to the way this
Speaker 1: vaccine is being implemented, the speed with which this is
Speaker 1: being done. They had so much time to prepare for this,
Speaker 1: they had ample resources. They can't do it. And look
Speaker 1: at some of the decision making. Now New York is
Speaker 1: almost is uniquely awful in this sense. There is no
Speaker 1: justification for giving teachers who are in their thirties vaccines
Speaker 1: before people who are senior citizens. Except the teachers unions
Speaker 1: demanded it, and city government bent the knee, got oh,
Speaker 1: we got to protect our teachers. Yeah, you got to
Speaker 1: protect your teachers who are senior citizens. No doubt how
Speaker 1: many of them are there, They retire so very few.
Speaker 1: You just got to protect senior citizens, period. But nope,
Speaker 1: Democrat Party is, as you know, completely owned by teachers
Speaker 1: unions in major cities across the country. So they're not
Speaker 1: going to do anything other than make them happy. So
Speaker 1: thirty five year olds and twenty five year olds get
Speaker 1: to show up easily at a place approved by the
Speaker 1: teachers union, they get their shot, they're good to go.
Speaker 1: While last night, my father, among them, hundreds, if not
Speaker 1: maybe a thousand or two senior citizens, froze their butts
Speaker 1: off for hours and hours and hours, and some of
Speaker 1: them didn't even end up getting vaccine. That's the government
Speaker 1: in action. That's the government that the Biden Harris team
Speaker 1: wants to put in charge of all aspects of your life.

Speaker 1: New Yorkers Deserve and Demand Fairness. My position as governor
Speaker 1: is very simple. I represent the people of the state
Speaker 1: of New York. That's my whole job description. I'm here
Speaker 1: to represent them and to fight for them, and they
Speaker 1: have been abused by Washington for four years and it
Speaker 1: has to stop, and it has to stop now. And
Speaker 1: all we want is what's fair. I said that there
Speaker 1: are two options, worst case scenario, fair funding and one caveat.
Speaker 1: The caveat is if Washington doesn't provide the New York
Speaker 1: State without fair share of funding, We're going to pursue
Speaker 1: litigation because I cannot in good faith represent the people
Speaker 1: of this state and know that they are being harmed
Speaker 1: and know that they're being treated unfairly, and not do
Speaker 1: everything within my power to try to do what is
Speaker 1: right by New York. Maybe get vaccines into the arms
Speaker 1: of senior citizens faster, you idiot. Maybe don't send people
Speaker 1: who are COVID positive, who are seniors back into nursing
Speaker 1: homes to infect others in large numbers, jackass. No, But
Speaker 1: instead we've got Cuomo here giving the usual thing. Just
Speaker 1: that all this guy focuses on is the optics and
Speaker 1: the politics. What is this going to do for him?
Speaker 1: How will this play in the media, What we'll do
Speaker 1: for him in the polls? New York has been a
Speaker 1: cautionary tale. During COVID, topped about everything about our response,
Speaker 1: the under preparation, the overreaction, the extended lockdowns, moving goalposts.
Speaker 1: Same thing in California, same thing in a lot of states,
Speaker 1: a lot of states. They're going to fight, fight like
Speaker 1: crazy to prevent people from really seeing what happened and
Speaker 1: holding them fully accountable for all of this. Governor Cuomo
Speaker 1: is going to have his hands full because the record
Speaker 1: that he's set forth is such an abomination. But we'll
Speaker 1: we'll have to see if I mean, democrats in this
Speaker 1: state are tast still like him. His numbers have gone up.
Speaker 1: I don't know what's wrong with these people. I don't
Speaker 1: know what delusional world they're living in. This is the
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show podcast. Follow Buck on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
Speaker 1: Wear a mask, they say, but what about double mask?
Speaker 1: How about triple masks? Why aren't all schools open? And
Speaker 1: our lockdowns are really going to end after the vaccine?
Speaker 1: Our next guest explains this and more. Carol Markowitz is
Speaker 1: with us. She wrote a piece in the New York
Speaker 1: Post you need to read, you need to hear about
Speaker 1: it now. Carol, thanks so much for joining Hi, Thanks
Speaker 1: much for having me. So let's talk about this. Where
Speaker 1: are we seeing or what is the argument that you're
Speaker 1: worried about. Well, I'm concerned that we are heading into
Speaker 1: a place where we're going to get vaccinated, people are
Speaker 1: going to have their vaccinations, and yet people are setting
Speaker 1: us up to continue to live as we are living
Speaker 1: right now, and that to me is a big concern,
Speaker 1: especially masking and social distancing, and especially for me as
Speaker 1: it pertains to kids, because my children have barely been
Speaker 1: in school for the last year, and so I see
Speaker 1: this argument starting to get made, and I just want
Speaker 1: to make sure that it doesn't get a foothold that
Speaker 1: we're going to just continue doing this even after we
Speaker 1: are vaccinated, because that makes no sense. I've been worried
Speaker 1: about this for many months now because I understand the mentality.
Speaker 1: You know, there is a really a combination of extreme
Speaker 1: anxiety that has infiltrated a lot of millions and millions
Speaker 1: of people in this country's minds about COVID and also
Speaker 1: this kind of virtue signaling. I'm one of the good people.
Speaker 1: I'm one of the smart people who listens to Fauci
Speaker 1: and I'll do whatever he says, no matter how stupid
Speaker 1: and how obviously absurd it may be. And that then
Speaker 1: brings us to that you mentioned this in your piece,
Speaker 1: Here's why vaccinated people still need a mask? Was that
Speaker 1: was a title of a New York Times piece in December. Yes,
Speaker 1: so they're already starting to say, even even after you
Speaker 1: get vaccinated, you still have to wear a mask. This
Speaker 1: this is based on a theory of this virus as
Speaker 1: somehow different from all other viruses that have a vaccine,
Speaker 1: a vaccine for them, where you don't worry about this.
Speaker 1: That's absolutely right. And the thing is in that New
Speaker 1: York Times piece, if anybody had bothered to repass the headline,
Speaker 1: which I'm much sure anybody did, they would have found
Speaker 1: out that it was a study in monkeys where they
Speaker 1: were given the vaccination, but then they were exposed to
Speaker 1: a mask of amount of coronavirus. And so these monkeys
Speaker 1: who are vaccinated still manage to get a little bit
Speaker 1: of the virus in their nose. Well, maybe let's not
Speaker 1: expose ourselves on purpose to a massive amount of coronavirus,
Speaker 1: and then that shouldn't really be an issue. We're looking
Speaker 1: for these like outlier situations where it's almost impossible to
Speaker 1: contract it after you're vaccinated. And yes, maybe in some
Speaker 1: insane situation that might possibly happen, but it doesn't mean
Speaker 1: we live our lives in fear. There's no such thing
Speaker 1: as no risk, and I think that's people need to
Speaker 1: understand going forward. And you're even hearing some of the
Speaker 1: things that I've raised this and I think you might
Speaker 1: have even seen some of this on social media what
Speaker 1: I've said, and this was months ago. It's just a
Speaker 1: matter of time before they tell us we need more
Speaker 1: than one mask, and just atter of time before they
Speaker 1: tell us we need n ninety five masks, which if
Speaker 1: you go back to the beginning of this was that
Speaker 1: was the explanation Fauci gave after the fact for why
Speaker 1: he told us that's right, don't mask up to the
Speaker 1: general public in the beginning of twenty twenty when this
Speaker 1: whole thing hit and you're seeing this too, right there,
Speaker 1: there are now double maskers out there, and everybody should
Speaker 1: end ninety five masks as as a new These are
Speaker 1: new lines of thought that are being foisted on us. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's right, and you know why two masks, why not five?
Speaker 1: And so again, as we're reaching the conclusion of this,
Speaker 1: I think people are getting ever more crazy and I
Speaker 1: don't want to see this continue. And another thing that
Speaker 1: I say in my piece again back to kids, is
Speaker 1: there's no vaccination for kids. There's no They haven't even
Speaker 1: started trials on children under twelve. So the idea that
Speaker 1: it's and it is being pushed that kids will be
Speaker 1: in masks next year in school while presumably the grown
Speaker 1: ups around them are vaccinated and won't be in masks,
Speaker 1: is really nuts. And I want to cut that off
Speaker 1: before it takes hold. I mean here in New York City,
Speaker 1: just so everybody knows. I know, Deblasio I think, has
Speaker 1: said a vast majority of New York City schools are open.
Speaker 1: It's actually something like sixty sixty percent. I mean, almost
Speaker 1: half of schools are not open. And that's and that's
Speaker 1: the only elementary school. Middle schools and high schools have
Speaker 1: not been opened from November. The ones that we're even
Speaker 1: ever open to begin with. UM. It is a dire
Speaker 1: situation and needs to be taken seriously, and of course
Speaker 1: our political elected officials do not. It's it's amazing. Also,
Speaker 1: you know, I have had my family in mind. My
Speaker 1: father tried to get vaccinated out and out in Staten
Speaker 1: Island the only place he could go. He had to
Speaker 1: wait a line for hours and hours in the freezing cold,
Speaker 1: and they said it's going to be hours more and
Speaker 1: he finally just said, I just can't. I can't do
Speaker 1: this anymore. Like you know, he's a senior citizen, the
Speaker 1: guy in his seventies, and I got I've got another
Speaker 1: family member as a cousin who works in the school system,
Speaker 1: got vaccinated a couple of weeks ago. No problem for her, zoom,
Speaker 1: you know, for for the risk of Look, I don't
Speaker 1: blame her. She has to do it's her job. Of course,
Speaker 1: that's fine, Yes, but I mean we're talking about the
Speaker 1: people making these decisions. It's crazy. Yeah, And again I'm
Speaker 1: I'm very happy to have teachers being at the front
Speaker 1: of the line to get vaccinated. As long as we
Speaker 1: get back to work and open the schools, that's the
Speaker 1: priority here. If you get vaccinated to sit at home
Speaker 1: for another year and zoom, I'm not into that. And well,
Speaker 1: it just shows that the power of the teachers unions
Speaker 1: have and this is now becoming more apparent to everybody
Speaker 1: that people are using influence to get preferred groups to
Speaker 1: the frontal line. Not based on you know, we're all
Speaker 1: in this together, we're all human beings of equal worth
Speaker 1: and dignity, you know, the kind of core epidemiological ethics here.
Speaker 1: But you know, I just saw it to day. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I like NBA players might get vaccinated in the next
Speaker 1: few weeks according to their commission, right because because because
Speaker 1: there because if you're a ultra like you know, athletics,
Speaker 1: super healthy twenty five year old, you really need the vaccine. Well,
Speaker 1: what's funny is that New York started with people who
Speaker 1: are pretty low risk, I mean even healthcare officiality, which
Speaker 1: you know, I'm for starting with them obviously, but a
Speaker 1: lot of them didn't want the vaccine, and a lot
Speaker 1: of them turned it down. I mean a lot of
Speaker 1: nursing homes always didn't want it. And so when they
Speaker 1: started finally vaccinating elderly people, they had a surge of appointments,
Speaker 1: and so they finally hit the demographic that actually wants
Speaker 1: this vaccine, who needs the vaccine, And now they're seeing
Speaker 1: the results of that, people are actually you know, wanting
Speaker 1: to get it. Why have there been and we're speaking
Speaker 1: to Carol Mark, Whit's New York Post columnists be where
Speaker 1: the experts who want to go on lockdowns forever as
Speaker 1: or piece. I highly recommend it to all who are listening.
Speaker 1: It's up the New York Post dot com. Carol. Why
Speaker 1: has this been such a the rollout of the vaccine
Speaker 1: in New York? I mean, ever, it was universally I
Speaker 1: think understood as a mess a week ago. Now they're
Speaker 1: saying it's gotten better. How could they not get this right? Well,
Speaker 1: I think they were just not focusing on what matters,
Speaker 1: which is to vaccinate at risk people. They were trying
Speaker 1: to like wrong historical injustices through the vaccine process, and
Speaker 1: that's just not really what it's all about. If they
Speaker 1: had just done it by age, like other states did
Speaker 1: and other states who have done it successfully, that would
Speaker 1: have been the better process. But instead, we you know,
Speaker 1: had some boondozzle where you had to have the right
Speaker 1: combination of you know, historical injustice factors working against you,
Speaker 1: and that's the process they were they were using. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, it was obvious that was going to fail
Speaker 1: because again it's the people who need the vaccine, who
Speaker 1: want the vaccine are the ones who are at risk,
Speaker 1: and they weren't the ones getting the vaccine at the beginning.
Speaker 1: You mentioned in your piece that the guy who's kind
Speaker 1: of tapped as President Joe Biden's I mean, I guess,
Speaker 1: I guess maybe doctor Fauci will be the coronavirus are
Speaker 1: which I think is also a horrible decision. But this
Speaker 1: other guy, Andy's Slavitt, who's going to be a senior
Speaker 1: advisor to Biden's COVID response team. A few weeks ago,
Speaker 1: he wrote on Twitter, quote, we should be even more
Speaker 1: careful with kids. They should circulate less or will become
Speaker 1: vectors like mosquitos carrying a tropical disease. Of course, they
Speaker 1: can become sick themselves this way. I'm not sure what
Speaker 1: I would say about schools besides wishing Trump had built
Speaker 1: testing up a couple of things. One, I think that's
Speaker 1: just bizarre and ignores all the science that we've seen,
Speaker 1: all the data that we've seen that shows that children
Speaker 1: are at almost zero risk. I mean, it is true
Speaker 1: that the flu, the common flu, is more dangerous to
Speaker 1: children under the age of eighteen than COVID nineteen. That
Speaker 1: is a globally established and known fact. And so that's
Speaker 1: one problem I have with this guy is saying. But
Speaker 1: also beyond that, why aren't people likes of a slavit
Speaker 1: and the incoming by administration screaming from the rooftops to
Speaker 1: open schools. It's not because of the science. So I
Speaker 1: think we both know what's going on. Yeah, he's a hysteric.
Speaker 1: He has these intense threads on Twitter that get applauded.
Speaker 1: He's not a scientist, he's not a doctor, and he
Speaker 1: is ever in favor of harsher, stricter, longer lockdowns. He
Speaker 1: has had ideas like shutting down public transport systems across
Speaker 1: different cities, even though obviously he lives suburbs and drives
Speaker 1: a car. He is just known for being extremely hysterical
Speaker 1: about COVID and it's a real bad sign that he's
Speaker 1: going to be heading and you know, advising on any
Speaker 1: COVID measures, because he's going to take it in the
Speaker 1: opposite direction of where we should be going with the
Speaker 1: vaccine actually being happening across the country. I know you've
Speaker 1: spent some time down in Florida. Just can you give
Speaker 1: us a sense of, Yeah, how's it going down there
Speaker 1: as opposed to your New York City time. Well, I think,
Speaker 1: and I wrote last my column last week, Florida is
Speaker 1: doing things I think very right. They absolutely take it
Speaker 1: seriously in Florida. I think New Yorkers we've been told
Speaker 1: that it's kind of a free for all in Florida
Speaker 1: and it's just very loose. But I haven't found that
Speaker 1: to be true at all. I definitely see mask wearing
Speaker 1: in all the situations that I think masks should be worn,
Speaker 1: but they're not wearing it, like when they're alone on
Speaker 1: the street, like I see all the time in Brooklyn.
Speaker 1: You'll see somebody walking down the street by themselves, nobody
Speaker 1: anywhere near them, masked and you know, ready for the
Speaker 1: coronavirus to jump out at them from behind a push.
Speaker 1: I didn't see that in Florida. And I just saw
Speaker 1: a sanity that is missing from the process in New York.
Speaker 1: And it just didn't seem like masking was a religion
Speaker 1: in Florida and the way that it is in New York.
Speaker 1: And that was very nice to see. And I feel
Speaker 1: like people are gonna it's a religious belief for some Yeah,
Speaker 1: they don't want there's almost a there's some people that
Speaker 1: don't seem to want to let it go. I've even
Speaker 1: seen the beginnings, the early rumbles on the internet from
Speaker 1: people that are journalists are ever following about how, you know,
Speaker 1: we really should consider masking up for the flu season
Speaker 1: as well. Now that really is the ethical thing. Oh
Speaker 1: you're seeing that too. Yeah. I want to scream because
Speaker 1: Carol I was telling people at the beginning of this, Hey,
Speaker 1: every year, we accept that there are flu deaths and
Speaker 1: tens of thousands of people do die from the flu,
Speaker 1: and we never thought masking is so obvious as a
Speaker 1: public health tool that we never thought that we needed
Speaker 1: to have that mandate in this country. And they said, oh,
Speaker 1: shot off, nobody, can you know this isn't the flu,
Speaker 1: this is so much worse, and they just wouldn't deal
Speaker 1: with the argument. But now we see the arguments actually
Speaker 1: entirely ethically correct because they are making the case now,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, we're gonna have to mask up every flu
Speaker 1: season for the rest of our lives. Yeah. Absolutely, I
Speaker 1: see that developing, and it's really scary. I think people
Speaker 1: have decided that there it's possible to live a risk
Speaker 1: free existence, and I wish people understood that is just
Speaker 1: not a reality. That is not ever going to happen.
Speaker 1: You're never going to be risk free, even if you
Speaker 1: lock yourself in a closet at home. Something can get you. So,
Speaker 1: you know, I think we need to shadow that belief
Speaker 1: for people. I totally agree, Carol, great piece. Beware who
Speaker 1: want lockdowns to go on forever. New York Post dot Com. Carol,
Speaker 1: thanks so much. We'll talk to you soon. Thank you, Buck.
Speaker 1: Thank you. You're listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcast.
Speaker 1: Make sure you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeart

Speaker 1: the c EO and founder of My Pillow. He is
Speaker 1: a sponsor of this program, and he's a friend of mine.
Speaker 1: Mike Lindel is joining us now. He's built a great
Speaker 1: American corporation. I sleep on products from his company. Mike.
Speaker 1: I know you're you're the CEO of My Pillow and
Speaker 1: you employ a lot of people here in the US.
Speaker 1: And I've seen in the news that there are some, uh,
Speaker 1: there are some companies that are taking action against your products.
Speaker 1: What's what's going on here? I mean, is this just
Speaker 1: the left doing what it does? Yeah, it really is.
Speaker 1: They've attacked them, but they went after these these hit groups,
Speaker 1: went after these companies, and they go on social media
Speaker 1: on Twitter, and you know, they they're bots and trolls
Speaker 1: and they put people doing emails. So now the list
Speaker 1: is bigger, and I'll tell you it's bed bathroom beyond Cole's, Kroger,
Speaker 1: fred Meyer, Colburn's, HB. Hamericks, Bluestem. I mean, these guys,
Speaker 1: these guys just you know what coward is that they're
Speaker 1: gonna what do they want to go back to the
Speaker 1: way we were. Our great president was just getting us
Speaker 1: out of this where you don't have to. You know,
Speaker 1: I've been through attack so many times. I come through it,
Speaker 1: uh better than I ever was every time. Last summer,
Speaker 1: if you remember, I was an attack from Oleander dot
Speaker 1: com when that guy brought me this thing for this
Speaker 1: virus and Anderson Cooper. They attacked me for twenty four
Speaker 1: minutes on TV. And then the box Controls came out
Speaker 1: and attacked all these companies in and they back down.
Speaker 1: Oh these are companies I've been with for five six years. Mike.
Speaker 1: I gotta ask you before we get into a break here. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, with with the the heat that my pillows
Speaker 1: has come under, is there anything that you want? People?
Speaker 1: I mean I always tell folks, you know, put your money,
Speaker 1: put your money where your heart in your mind is
Speaker 1: take action based upon and I mean your day to
Speaker 1: day decisions based upon who you support. And they know
Speaker 1: that you're a sponsor on this program. But for people
Speaker 1: out there, you know, do you want to just put
Speaker 1: out a clarion call for for you and for any
Speaker 1: other companies out there that are coming that are coming
Speaker 1: under this pressure right now, Well, here's your promo code.
Speaker 1: Is your promo code buck? Indeed? It is, Well, there
Speaker 1: you go, you guys, go come write that down and
Speaker 1: they remember that. But today if you go there, it's
Speaker 1: gonna be a little different. By the first thing you're
Speaker 1: going to see is my book. I have three million
Speaker 1: copies that I self published, and they were blocking them
Speaker 1: this summer after what happened with the my only ender
Speaker 1: dot com. So I put them up there today nine
Speaker 1: ninety seven with the promo code Buck, and you're gonna
Speaker 1: get You can get up to sixty six percent off
Speaker 1: all my products. And it's a great story of hope.
Speaker 1: It's what we need right now. And you'll be supporting
Speaker 1: over twenty five hundred employees I have now and we're
Speaker 1: all we're all in there. You know, they've been through
Speaker 1: this before. But they know that people step up and
Speaker 1: buy our products. And by the way, we have over
Speaker 1: one hundred and ten products, not just pillows. We have
Speaker 1: over one hundred and ten products from bathrobes now to
Speaker 1: our new beds, to all kinds of stuff, so you
Speaker 1: can you can. It's uh and they people have stepped
Speaker 1: it up the last couple of days, but it's been very,
Speaker 1: very very Everybody needs to step it up now. This
Speaker 1: is a great American company and a great founder. Mike Lindell,
Speaker 1: friend of the show, sponsor. Thank you so much, Mike.
Speaker 1: From my pillow everybody, Mike, appreciate you calling in. Thanks Buck,
Speaker 1: thank you, God bless. Mike Lindell is a great guy,
Speaker 1: great company. I really do love his products, I know,
Speaker 1: and I always do full disclosure he is a sponsor
Speaker 1: on this show. But I just I mean, it's funny.
Speaker 1: I got the snow Princess, I got her my pillows,
Speaker 1: I've got those Giza dreamsheets, and he employs so many
Speaker 1: great Americans and it's just such a success story. And
Speaker 1: the fact that people are coming after him now because
Speaker 1: he supports President Trump, it's it's just wrong, you know.
Speaker 1: And that's why the products right now that we talk
Speaker 1: about on this show. I mean, yeah, this is this
Speaker 1: is self serving for me, but it's also serving conservatism.
Speaker 1: It's conserving, it's serving the movement as well. Because if
Speaker 1: we can have companies where CEOs are outspoken Republicans and
Speaker 1: are and are defenders of conservative values, we're done forget
Speaker 1: about politics, We're finished, We're through. So Mike Lindell is
Speaker 1: a guy who stands up and stands strong for it.
Speaker 1: He believes he's a super nice guy to him in
Speaker 1: a really a really good individual. So it's very fun.
Speaker 1: I wanted to bring him on air just because I
Speaker 1: know they're really going after him right now with these retailers.
Speaker 1: And that's why you know my pillow dot com promo
Speaker 1: code buck, I mean, please go do it, Please go
Speaker 1: use it right now, because that company I don't Mike.
Speaker 1: The last thing I know Mike Lindell wants to do
Speaker 1: is have to lay off people because of declining sales.
Speaker 1: Not because his product is an amazing everyone loves his product,
Speaker 1: that's why it's such a successful company, but because the
Speaker 1: left is targeting him and his people all at once
Speaker 1: because he supports the Republican Party and President Trump. We
Speaker 1: can't we can't allow that, all right, So this, you know,
Speaker 1: people say, what can you do? I'm telling you right now,
Speaker 1: this is an opportunity mipila dot com promo code Buck
Speaker 1: and yes, that's right capitalism, this is this is serving
Speaker 1: me the show, it's serving the freedom Buck, Mike Lindell,
Speaker 1: his people, and America. Because if we can't have companies
Speaker 1: that are allowed to have CEOs who are Republican founders,
Speaker 1: who are Trump supporters, well what's the point of anything
Speaker 1: we're doing right then, everything that they control, everything, unless
Speaker 1: unless we stand and fight on this issue. So I
Speaker 1: think it's really important. I wanted to hear from Mike
Speaker 1: and you know, we're we're going to band together. We
Speaker 1: conservatives need to take care of each other, watch each
Speaker 1: other's backs in the storm we're heading into we're in
Speaker 1: right now in this new administration, we need to take
Speaker 1: care of each other. Take action, take a step now.
Speaker 1: This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Follow Buck on Facebook, Instagram,
Speaker 1: and Twitter. Set no party like a team Buck party,
Speaker 1: as a team Bug party. Don't stop. It's time for
Speaker 1: roll call. This is like the kind of these are
Speaker 1: the kind of funky tunes. When I used to go
Speaker 1: to off campus college housing when I was like on undergrad,
Speaker 1: not that I was ever a grad student, but you know,
Speaker 1: you go somewhere and yeah, man, there's like a live
Speaker 1: band playing, and there were some there were some. There
Speaker 1: were some odors in the air. Not quite cigarette smoke,
Speaker 1: but people were smoking other things back in those college days.
Speaker 1: Not me though, not me, Actually I wasn't. I was
Speaker 1: trying to get into the CIA, so I knew I
Speaker 1: couldn't do any illegal drugs. But yeah, yeah, see I
Speaker 1: did just say no to drugs. So there you have it.
Speaker 1: Although you know the producer mark there. I think they're
Speaker 1: legalizing pot in New York now, well yeah, I believe
Speaker 1: Cuoma wants to do that. And sports scambling, yeah, I
Speaker 1: think the sports gambling thing, I don't see how there's
Speaker 1: any um, I don't understand the argument against if you're
Speaker 1: gonna allow gambling in some places and Fords again, at
Speaker 1: some point it's like, well what are we doing here?
Speaker 1: You know? So, I mean people are gonna gamble. They're
Speaker 1: gonna gamble, so it's I've probably better to regulate it allowed.
Speaker 1: I mean, some people say the stock market's gambling in
Speaker 1: a sense, and it is actually, So there's that. Do
Speaker 1: you ever do any sports gambling producer where it is
Speaker 1: legal in my state of New Jersey? And I've dabbled,
Speaker 1: and it is quite easy to do on your phone.
Speaker 1: I had never done it before phone. Yeah, I've been
Speaker 1: to the I shouldn't say i've been to I've seen.
Speaker 1: I actually have never been inside some of those OTV places.
Speaker 1: They can be a little bit depressing. Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: that's a little too far from me. But you don't
Speaker 1: talking about off track betting those things. You know, you
Speaker 1: got a bet on the ponies, you know, the whole thing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think that I don't like horse racing that much.
Speaker 1: Nothing against it. I'm just just bores me. I actually
Speaker 1: feel like you'd be fun. I've always want to see
Speaker 1: the greyhounds racing. I live next to a rescue greyhound
Speaker 1: who was so you know, it's if everyone knows I
Speaker 1: like dogs of the one of the things I love
Speaker 1: most in life, and and the greyhound lives right next
Speaker 1: door to me, and he was one of those ones
Speaker 1: that actually chase, you know, chase the bunny or whatever
Speaker 1: it is, uh, you know, at the track. Yep, I'm
Speaker 1: talking about like an actual racing greyhound. I think that's outlawed, now,
Speaker 1: is it really? I'm not one hundred percent sure, but
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure less and less of it is allowed,
Speaker 1: if at all, Well, it's not it's not a live
Speaker 1: bunny or you just bean greyhound racing in general. Yes,
Speaker 1: I think dog racing is pretty much gone, and I
Speaker 1: couldn't be wrong, but I thought that it was outlawed.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, yeah, because I know that they don't use
Speaker 1: a real bunny. That would be messed up. It's like
Speaker 1: a little you know, it's like train the bunny to
Speaker 1: run like that, like electronic. Yeah, I actually get really,
Speaker 1: I really hate I'm somebody who I've just look I know,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm inconsistent on this one. Basically any furry animal,
Speaker 1: I dear. I'm okay with people shooting and eating and
Speaker 1: you know, I've I've been a part of that myself
Speaker 1: in the past. So fine, you know, hunting deer, I'm
Speaker 1: fine with it. Um, you know, I mean birds whenever
Speaker 1: they're birds, fish, you know, eat them, chop them up.
Speaker 1: That's all fine, that's all, you know. Part It's a
Speaker 1: circle of life, folks, It's circle of life. I really,
Speaker 1: I really think foxes are cute and I get very
Speaker 1: sad at the notion of a fox on I gotta
Speaker 1: tell you, it really is not something that I like.
Speaker 1: So do people eat foxes. No, they don't eat them,
Speaker 1: but they used to. Fox hunting used to be a
Speaker 1: big thing, and they would chase them with dogs. They
Speaker 1: would have a pack of dogs that would people would
Speaker 1: ride horses. You know. It's sort of a it's kind
Speaker 1: of like an English gentleman thing to do back in
Speaker 1: the day, and it made its way to this country too. Um.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I think it's been outlawed for some time
Speaker 1: now in the States, but people will occasionally. I don't know,
Speaker 1: if you're is it you know, that's a very good question.
Speaker 1: Is it legal to hunt foxes in America? I have
Speaker 1: no I have no idea actually right now. Um, so, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's something I gotta find out. No, it's not legal.
Speaker 1: It says maybe you can shoot them. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's interesting. It depends on where you are. Anyway,
Speaker 1: I let my whole point he was just I like foxes,
Speaker 1: so I think they're cool. I actually follow a TikTok
Speaker 1: account because I've just embraced this Chinese spying app I'm
Speaker 1: not telling you to do it, but I already have
Speaker 1: no privacy and I've you know, I've got I got
Speaker 1: teams of people that are in all my social media
Speaker 1: and stuff already, and you know, so it's I, you
Speaker 1: know what am I hiding from a Chinese at this point?
Speaker 1: Then again, you can follow buck sex then on TikTok,
Speaker 1: but there's a there's a it actually might be an
Speaker 1: Instagram account. I think it's both. And somebody has a pet.
Speaker 1: It's called Juniper Fox. They have a pet fox like
Speaker 1: a dog. It's adorable, sounds dangerous. They're kind of small,
Speaker 1: and I'm sure it probably gives you a little nibbles
Speaker 1: sometimes got some sharp teeth, but not not really that
Speaker 1: not really that scary. The thing that I never understand
Speaker 1: is people who want to have not just a pet
Speaker 1: snake like that's your own whatever, that's not my thing
Speaker 1: at all, but a danger you're like a venomous pet snake.
Speaker 1: That's where I'm just like, what is wrong with people?
Speaker 1: I don't understand that, because you know what ends up happening, right,
Speaker 1: Producer Mark. They always make these videos on like the
Speaker 1: Animal Channel and stuff about it's always like, oh, like
Speaker 1: i live. I live in like outside of London, and
Speaker 1: I had this like spitting cobra and oh then one
Speaker 1: day I just like forgot when I was cleaning his cage,
Speaker 1: and now I had a spitting cobra like all over
Speaker 1: my apartment. I didn't know where in my flat. You know.
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, dude, don't have a spitting cobra as
Speaker 1: a pet. Probably a bad idea. It sounds like you're
Speaker 1: just playing the long game on suicide. If you get
Speaker 1: a pet snake that's minimous. Yeah, it's it's definitely definitely
Speaker 1: a risky, risky maneuver. All right, I'm sorry I got
Speaker 1: distracted from roll clocks. I started thinking about pets, maybe
Speaker 1: because little miss Tulu was walking around for a second
Speaker 1: to Lula. Tolula's a dog, by the way, Just so
Speaker 1: some people, some people ask me, is t Lula your girlfriend?
Speaker 1: Like no, I do talk about her a lot, but
Speaker 1: she's not my girlfriend. Well, I mean my girlfriend is
Speaker 1: my girlfriend is a human in person? Yeah, but there
Speaker 1: is also the little French bulldog who sleeps for about
Speaker 1: seventy percent of the day. I'd say she's an old
Speaker 1: lady now, so she sleeps a lot all right. Pablo,
Speaker 1: first up in roll call, Hey, Buck, I listen to
Speaker 1: you daily. I listen because you do speak the truth
Speaker 1: a lot like Tucker. I'm curious why the National Guard
Speaker 1: is being used in DC for the Biden inauguration, But
Speaker 1: when President Trump won there was Antifa with pepper spray
Speaker 1: chains of people preventing people for entering the National Mall.
Speaker 1: After the inauguration, there were riots in the streets with
Speaker 1: cars burning. I guess what I'm saying is the left
Speaker 1: has no good faith toward conservatives. This is what is
Speaker 1: dividing the country, not conservative belief shields high. Yeah, Papa.
Speaker 1: First of all, Pablo, thank you for listening. I appreciate
Speaker 1: that you appreciate truth because I think in conservative media,
Speaker 1: for four years of the Trump era, truth was not
Speaker 1: a not a winning or I should say not the
Speaker 1: most winning proposition for audience influence and growing your brand.
Speaker 1: A lot of people was just brow inside of maga
Speaker 1: as deep as possible. And by the way, I like
Speaker 1: MAGA with Trump supporters. You all know I'm not I'm
Speaker 1: not reputing in any of that or backing away from it,
Speaker 1: but I would say things like nepotism is bad now
Speaker 1: and I've been saying that for years. Guys. I couldn't
Speaker 1: go along with this whole, whole Javanka thing, Jared, Ivanka
Speaker 1: and the White House. You know, I was never I
Speaker 1: never thought this was a good idea, and I knew
Speaker 1: Jared and Ivanka before all these other people did pretty
Speaker 1: much before they went to the White House. I just
Speaker 1: couldn't support it, and I was right. And I think
Speaker 1: now that Trump's no longer president, people might say, wow,
Speaker 1: Buck was right about that, Like we should have said, hey,
Speaker 1: you know, people, people around the president with influence should
Speaker 1: have been willing to say, you can't hire your kids
Speaker 1: and make them the most powerful officials in the United
Speaker 1: States government after you. But that's what happened, and a
Speaker 1: lot of the very bad decision making was a result
Speaker 1: of that. So this wasn't a minor thing. So people say, oh, Buck,
Speaker 1: when did you speak the truth? Things like that? Okay
Speaker 1: things and no, I got heat. My inbox was full
Speaker 1: of people, Buck, Oh oh, he could only trust, he
Speaker 1: could only trust his family members, really could have trusted me,
Speaker 1: didn't didn't want to bring me in. Would have if
Speaker 1: you if you needed somebody with them the fortitude down below,
Speaker 1: if you know what I mean. To speak the truth
Speaker 1: to the Trumpster, I would have been able to do it,
Speaker 1: but didn't want to bring me in, didn't didn't bring
Speaker 1: me into the mix. And about I didn't ask. I'm
Speaker 1: not saying that, but you know, there were people who
Speaker 1: he could have picked. I'm just using myself as an example.
Speaker 1: There people he could have picked to be around him,
Speaker 1: to advise him. But a lot of yes men, a
Speaker 1: lot of people that were just whatever the Trumpster wants,
Speaker 1: the Trumpster gets and that worked on a lot of things,
Speaker 1: but on some very important things it did not. It
Speaker 1: did not. So the truth is, it is a is
Speaker 1: a central uh. It is the focal point of this show.
Speaker 1: The truth is I see it always, and you know,
Speaker 1: I'll take the heat. I'll take the hits with that too.
Speaker 1: I took a lot of hits after the I took
Speaker 1: a lot of heat from people saying that I wasn't
Speaker 1: strong enough on the election fraud issue. And I said, oh, look,
Speaker 1: give me, show me the evidence, just prove this to me.
Speaker 1: I'm all about finding out that this was, that there
Speaker 1: was this big fraud, but it didn't materialize. You know,
Speaker 1: if someone tells if there's a news story. If a
Speaker 1: government official comes forward and says, hey, you know, I've
Speaker 1: got a videotape that's showing you know, Democrats breaking into
Speaker 1: the RNC the night before the election, and they're all
Speaker 1: saying this, I'm gonna say, okay, well that's terrible. Let
Speaker 1: let's see that video. If they say, well, hold on,
Speaker 1: hold on, we're getting everything lined up and its okay,
Speaker 1: we'll show me that video at some point. If they
Speaker 1: don't produce it, I gotta stop saying, okay, I believe it,
Speaker 1: or have at least got to stop saying I expect
Speaker 1: there to be government action on this or as a
Speaker 1: result of this. Frank writes, and I want to thank you.
Speaker 1: Some time ago you commented and emphasized on how peanut
Speaker 1: butter has a lot of calories. It's true, Frank, a
Speaker 1: lot account. I never forgot that. Well, I love peanut butter.
Speaker 1: It has always been a major part of my diet morning, noon,
Speaker 1: and night. I love snacking on it with crackers around
Speaker 1: nine pm. Well, you're comment stuck with me. In last September,
Speaker 1: I finally decided to do something about it. I almost
Speaker 1: completely stopped eating it. I bike regularly and could not
Speaker 1: for the life of me lose extra weight, so I

Speaker 1: little by little, but it has now been twenty pounds.
Speaker 1: I weighed the same I did twenty five years ago.

Speaker 1: these like sort of frozen meal delivery services that they've
Speaker 1: set up in New York work that I'm trying to
Speaker 1: eat really only that because I love cooking. Don't get
Speaker 1: me wrong, but when I cook for myself, it's like
Speaker 1: the I'm the chef who's nibbling as he's cooking, and
Speaker 1: I always making enough for four people, even if it's
Speaker 1: only for two. And then I get a little a
Speaker 1: little late night snack, and you know, and then if
Speaker 1: you're cooking. You gotta make dessert, right, Producer Mark. I
Speaker 1: mean we're not savages of court to make dessert. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So I was. I was putting away way too many
Speaker 1: perfectly seared seasoned ribis on my own. And you do

Speaker 1: has like ab you know, the whole thing. So you
Speaker 1: know abs that you can see. I don't have that.

Speaker 1: But peanut butter. It's one of those things where you
Speaker 1: know it shouldn't beat you don't think it's if you
Speaker 1: have a big scoop of peanut butter, you just eat
Speaker 1: a big scoop of peanut butter. You've put away easily
Speaker 1: two hundred fifty three hundred calories easily. And yeah, man,
Speaker 1: it's really by the way, it's another thing. If you

Speaker 1: Or is that mainstream? Now? No, that's fine, Now, that's
Speaker 1: that's fine out right. Yeah, I mean cash you butter

Speaker 1: more roll Call. Alan writes Buck not OSS squad, but
Speaker 1: pretty close. As I sit in a talk next to
Speaker 1: other National Guards been, I have to take issue with
Speaker 1: Brandon Webb's comments. While yes, there are quite a few
Speaker 1: nineteen year old kids among us, there are plenty of
Speaker 1: soldiers here who have multiple combat deployments under their belts.
Speaker 1: They are disciplined and just as qualified as their active
Speaker 1: duty brethren. Love the show and keep up the great
Speaker 1: workshields high, Alan, I'll pass this one along on to Brandon.
Speaker 1: I think you are correct in this one here. Brandon,
Speaker 1: as you all know, is a good friend of mine.
Speaker 1: But I know on that one, I think, I mean,
Speaker 1: I know what you're telling me. It's true. So maybe Brandon,
Speaker 1: I'll pass this along to Brandon. Let him respond for himself.
Speaker 1: It's a point. But look, he's a seal, and you
Speaker 1: know he's or a former seal, and so he's got
Speaker 1: a little that former seal vibe, you know. But yes,
Speaker 1: I know they're National guardsman who won have sort of
Speaker 1: really as real deal as it gets, combat deployments and
Speaker 1: they're still in the National Guard, and that is a fact.
Speaker 1: And I know that I've been out. I've been out
Speaker 1: in the field when there's National Guard out there, so
Speaker 1: I know what you're saying. My friend, thank you Alan
Speaker 1: for your service. Please thank all the National Guard's been
Speaker 1: with you for their service and tell them it's from me.
Speaker 1: Brian hey Buck, I've noticed something new that Facebook has
Speaker 1: been doing in order to push the left wing agenda.
Speaker 1: I'm curious, you know if anyone else has noticed the same.
Speaker 1: Scrolling through my news feed, I keep seeing posts from
Speaker 1: left wing groups and individuals that I don't follow, from
Speaker 1: congressmen to special interests. Turns out the reason I'm seeing
Speaker 1: them is because I have a friend who comments on them,
Speaker 1: so it assumes I might have similar interests. Here's the kicker.
Speaker 1: I don't really know the guy and the only Facebook
Speaker 1: interaction I've had with them is sharing a video of
Speaker 1: a dog back in November see producer Mark dog Videos.
Speaker 1: It's the one thing that still brings humanity together always
Speaker 1: yeah still, Facebook claims I've commented and liked more posts
Speaker 1: from him than other people. Just this morning, I've seen
Speaker 1: a pro union page and a group pushing fifteen dollars
Speaker 1: minimum wage. Random right wing interest groups don't show up
Speaker 1: in my feet at all. Looks like they're trying to
Speaker 1: hit us with full media staturation. Have you noticed this
Speaker 1: shields high, Brian, Yes, I have noticed this. You'll also
Speaker 1: notice there are a whole lot of out of nowhere
Speaker 1: left wing podcast that are popping up pretty high in
Speaker 1: the iTunes listing of news shows. The no one, you know,
Speaker 1: the iTunes algorithm is not something that's public and we're
Speaker 1: not really allowed to know. But I do find that
Speaker 1: curious at least. Look, their algorithm is whatever they want
Speaker 1: it to be, right, the iTunes algorithm, you know, we
Speaker 1: assume it's is it the most shows, total downloaded, the
Speaker 1: longest listen with the most you know, There's a lot
Speaker 1: of things that could go into this. It's not just
Speaker 1: how many people are subscribe, it's how many people open,
Speaker 1: how long do they listen? Are they listening, you know,
Speaker 1: to multiple multiple times to the same show, and has
Speaker 1: that counted? So there's a lot of ways to the
Speaker 1: system could be skewed to begin with. But yeah, no,
Speaker 1: you're gonna get a lot of left wing media saturation
Speaker 1: now from all over the place. That's for sure. That's
Speaker 1: for real. So what you're picking up on is not imaginary.
Speaker 1: My friend, Brian, I wish I could tell you that
Speaker 1: we could change it, but fok. Facebook is calling the
Speaker 1: shots on Facebook and that means libs And Heybrocker producer, Mark,
Speaker 1: who would you say would be the GOP's next in
Speaker 1: line to carry the Republican Party to twenty twenty four election?
Speaker 1: Love your show, Shield Say, and we love you. Thank
Speaker 1: you so much for writing in. And you ask me
Speaker 1: who should be the candidate for the Republican president right
Speaker 1: now for twenty twenty four. If you're asking me right now,
Speaker 1: Ron de Santisa, Florida, that's that's who I think it
Speaker 1: should be right now based on everything we're seeing. That
Speaker 1: obviously could change, but that's my answer for you. And
Speaker 1: thanks so much for writing in. Team. Great to be
Speaker 1: with you. Tomorrow will be a better day, Shield Ti
