Buck 5 00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 1: Sexton coding the news and disseminating information with actionable intelligence. 6 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,640 Speaker 1: Make no mistake American.

No, Welcome my friends to the buck 10 00:00:56,440 --> 00:01:00,720 Speaker 1: Sexton Show, where I'm currently broadcasting from the of a 11 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 1: tropical store. I think or it's some weather event here. 12 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,840 Speaker 1: We've got crazy gusts of winds. It sounds like my 13 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 1: windows are going to blow in at any moment. Here, 14 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 1: rain rain all day. So we will hopefully be able 15 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,759 Speaker 1: to continue with the broadcast as is. That is certainly 16 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 1: the plan. But there's going to be some There's gonna 17 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,960 Speaker 1: be some technical challenges for some folks in the Eastern Corridor, 18 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,040 Speaker 1: that's for sure. But let's get right to it. George Floyd. 19 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 1: George Floyd's killing by a Minneapolis police officer led to 20 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:39,400 Speaker 1: the restart of the BLM. The Black Lives Matter Movement, 21 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,959 Speaker 1: a movement that is intentionally named in such a way 22 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,679 Speaker 1: that if you do not concede to all of its demands, 23 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 1: you are immediately subject to questions about your possible racism, 24 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 1: and you are clearly a horrible human being that no 25 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 1: one should listen to, because how could you disagree with 26 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 1: Black Lives Matter? And we get into this game of no. 27 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 1: Of course, we all agree Black Lives matter, but I 28 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,079 Speaker 1: do not agree nor should I be forced or pressured 29 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:13,639 Speaker 1: to agree with BLM the movement's list of demands. It's 30 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:15,919 Speaker 1: a very straightforward proposition, but there are a lot of 31 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 1: people who are quite dishonest about it for obvious reasons. 32 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 1: The George Floyd video that we saw showed officer Derek 33 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,080 Speaker 1: Chauvin with a knee on the neck of George Floyd 34 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 1: for over eight minutes, and he is yelling, I can't breathe, 35 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:36,399 Speaker 1: and he's clearly in deep distress. The officer involved here 36 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 1: has already been charged with homicide and could face a 37 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,240 Speaker 1: very lengthy stint in prison, perhaps even the rest of 38 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: his life in prison. We have to see what the 39 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 1: final charges and the and of course what the jury 40 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,919 Speaker 1: says in all of this will be. But we saw 41 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: this and everyone based on the video condemned it, and 42 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,080 Speaker 1: there was still the BLM movement that rose up and 43 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 1: said there's systemic race sist police violence. That's the narrative. 44 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: The narrative isn't really that there is such a thing 45 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 1: as a rogue cop, a bad cop, or even a 46 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 1: racist cop. It's at the system. This proves that cops 47 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 1: are engaged in continuous systemic racism, and so we should 48 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:24,800 Speaker 1: all have this national conversation that quickly turned into a 49 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 1: national excuse for rioting, looting, violence, arson attacks on cops, 50 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 1: undermining law enforcement and police across the country. Really wasn't 51 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 1: much of a conversation, wasn't. And it's no surprise because 52 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 1: it's exactly what happened before. And the left saw this. 53 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 1: The Democrat Party saw this as politically useful in the moment, 54 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 1: so they wholeheartedly embraced it. Corporate America, which is full 55 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 1: of a lot of self interested cowards as well as 56 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 1: brainwashed left wing idealogus, now completely supported this, no questions asked, 57 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 1: sent it money the movement, whatever support they could, and 58 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 1: there was a period there for a few weeks where 59 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 1: if you said anything about this that wasn't a full 60 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 1: bending of the knee, you risked losing your job. If 61 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 1: you said all lives matter, you could get fired, and 62 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 1: people did get fired from their jobs over that. Another 63 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 1: statement of what is obviously and clearly true. But the 64 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 1: truth is not the point, right. The point is the 65 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:33,600 Speaker 1: exploitation of emotions all in order to have a shift 66 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 1: of power from one group to another, so that the 67 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:40,040 Speaker 1: left can be ascended, so that the socialist democrats can 68 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 1: have even greater control over your life and over the 69 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 1: future of this country. That was really the purpose of 70 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 1: all of this. And for people that would say, oh, 71 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 1: that's ridiculous and it's just just right wing talking points, really, 72 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,920 Speaker 1: what has improved as a result of the BLM movement? 73 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 1: What is better now? Nothing? Nothing. Cities are less safe, 74 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:03,239 Speaker 1: more people, more Black people have died because of this movement. 75 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,159 Speaker 1: Just look at the data. Look at the statistics. You've 76 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 1: got violent crime rising, homicides which are disproportionately affecting the 77 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:16,799 Speaker 1: black community, homicides rising in thirty six of fifty major 78 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,040 Speaker 1: US cities. Of the top fifty cities in the country, 79 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 1: Chicago is a war zone in some parts of the city, 80 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,720 Speaker 1: not the whole city. And then on top of this, 81 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 1: you have the piggybacking on the movement of the Antifa movement. Right, 82 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 1: you have the Antifa movement which decides to attach itself 83 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 1: to hop on top of the BLM movement and trying 84 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:47,839 Speaker 1: to do everything that it can to bring down our system, 85 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 1: or at least make our system as miserable and unlivable 86 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:56,280 Speaker 1: as possible in advance of a Joe Biden victory. So 87 00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:00,159 Speaker 1: that's what we've seen happen. For all the marches and 88 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 1: the kneeling and the cheerie eyed white liberals showing up 89 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 1: to scream in the faces of black police officers that 90 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 1: they are betraying their race by being law abiding, law enforcing, 91 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:20,480 Speaker 1: good Americans who are protecting our communities. Unbelievable what so 92 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,159 Speaker 1: many of these white libs were doing at these protests, 93 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:28,600 Speaker 1: the racism that they were showing. And yet the media 94 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 1: has learned no lessons from any of this. They still 95 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:37,160 Speaker 1: feel so smug and sanctimonious. A lot of millionaire anchors 96 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 1: on CNN and MSNBC who haven't slept the night in 97 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:46,599 Speaker 1: a single high crime neighborhood in their entire lives, not 98 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 1: one night. Okay, let's just be honest about this. They're 99 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 1: total frauds. But we see the benefits that you get 100 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:57,599 Speaker 1: if you're a Democrat, if you're a lib You know, 101 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:08,839 Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi, absolutely disconnected, self righteous, arrogant, multi multi millionaire 102 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 1: living in a true mansion in San Francisco, I mean, 103 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 1: a palazzo for Pelosi. And she cares so much about 104 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 1: violence in the black community in poor parts of major cities. 105 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 1: He doesn't care. And I'm gonna tell you this right now, 106 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 1: she doesn't give a damn. She pretends she doesn't really care. 107 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 1: Useful for her. This is what the Democrats do. This 108 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 1: is the real truth of the matter. They use this 109 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 1: issue for their own purposes. They don't really care, they 110 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 1: don't do anything. They're smart enough to know that all 111 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 1: of this is posturing and theatrics. They're smart enough to 112 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 1: know that this isn't gonna make anyone's life better in 113 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 1: majority black communities of America or any community in America. 114 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 1: But they don't care. They don't care. They're frauds. You see. 115 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 1: There's a fraudulence at the heart of the Democrat Party 116 00:07:56,440 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 1: today that brings me now to the truth of the 117 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 1: George Floyd arrest as we see it. Now, let me 118 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 1: just first state it still appears to me, based on 119 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 1: the totality of the video evidence, that there was excessive 120 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 1: force used against George Floyd and the officer involved should 121 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 1: be charged. So before anybody before you know, media matters 122 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 1: can clip this and say, oh, say, it still seems 123 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 1: to me. And again I'm just going on the video evidence, 124 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 1: which we didn't even have the full context of until now, right, 125 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 1: we only saw a clip of the video. We didn't 126 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:37,560 Speaker 1: see the whole thing. But with under the circumstances, you know, 127 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 1: the knee on the neck, there should have been greater 128 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 1: care taken to make sure that George Floyd was not 129 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 1: in lethal distress. That's my opinion, and the officer should 130 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:55,800 Speaker 1: be held fully culpable for it. That said, what you 131 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:59,839 Speaker 1: see in the almost ten minutes or so a video 132 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,200 Speaker 1: leading up to the knee on the neck segment on 133 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:06,240 Speaker 1: the pavement in Minneapolis, in front of onlookers, with two 134 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:11,959 Speaker 1: other officers present, what you see is George Floyd acting 135 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,960 Speaker 1: like an EEDP we would call it in the NYPD 136 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 1: in New York, an emotionally disturbed person. This guy was 137 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:25,319 Speaker 1: completely having a panic attack, saying things that made no 138 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:30,200 Speaker 1: sense and shouting constantly that he can't breathe and he's 139 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:35,840 Speaker 1: terrified and he can't breathe. While he's being gently walked 140 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,200 Speaker 1: in handcuffs from his own car into the police car. 141 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,960 Speaker 1: While he's standing outside in open air, he's shouting, I 142 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,719 Speaker 1: can't breathe, I can't breathe, when no one's doing and 143 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 1: understand this. Later on, he's saying it when there's a 144 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 1: knee on his neck, but the video shows him saying 145 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 1: it when there is no pressure on his neck or 146 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 1: anywhere else, so that matter. Yes, he's handcuffed, but there's 147 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:03,440 Speaker 1: no reasonable expectation that would asphyxiate anybody. So he's yelling 148 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 1: he can't breathe. Now. Why is that relevant? It's relevant 149 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 1: because it shows that the officers involved were courteous, respectful, 150 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 1: and professional until they had received substantial resistance. He was 151 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,200 Speaker 1: resisting arrest, he was refusing to get in a car. 152 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 1: He was claiming to be claustrophobic about getting into a 153 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,840 Speaker 1: car when they had already pulled him out of a car. 154 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 1: So they grabbed, they pull him out, They tell him 155 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,680 Speaker 1: to step out to be arrested from his vehicle and 156 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 1: then they're trying to put him in a cop car 157 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 1: and he starts screaming that he's claustrophobic and that he 158 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,680 Speaker 1: can't breathe he has drugs in his system. He had 159 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:48,840 Speaker 1: fentanyl in his system. He was high. Now, again, that 160 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 1: doesn't change the excessive force component of this, and it 161 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 1: doesn't change the lack of care given to Floyd on 162 00:10:57,960 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 1: the ground by the officer who had him in custom 163 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:04,199 Speaker 1: But if we're looking at severity of the charge, then 164 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,360 Speaker 1: it may factor in. When you're looking at a what 165 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 1: the defense will be able to tell a jury, it 166 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 1: will factor in. Then there's the bigger Then there's the 167 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 1: bigger issue that this raises, which is that this video 168 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 1: in no way shows cops hunting a black man for 169 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 1: the purposes of racism out to kill him. That is 170 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:34,080 Speaker 1: not what happened. Excessive force is bad in any police situation, 171 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 1: and copsy to be held accountable for it. And it 172 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 1: does happen. I've written about it when it has happened. 173 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,680 Speaker 1: I thought that cops have committed murder. We all know this. 174 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:48,880 Speaker 1: It does happen. But to say that this incident was 175 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:52,200 Speaker 1: just a racist practically a member of the clan. Cop 176 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 1: going out and just killing a black man for no 177 00:11:55,320 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 1: reason is not true, meaning that it wasn't There is 178 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 1: no there's no reason to believe there were racist origins 179 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:08,600 Speaker 1: in the targeting of Floyd, or that the officers set 180 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 1: out in their minds to physically hurt him at all. 181 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:14,440 Speaker 1: The video shows them saying step out of the car, 182 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,680 Speaker 1: play step out of the car. At one point, an 183 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 1: officer pulls his weapon and points it to Floyd because Floyd, 184 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:24,320 Speaker 1: who is hysteric, I mean actually hysterical, just from cops 185 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 1: saying can you step out of the car. He's he's panicking, 186 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 1: he's shouting, he's saying, don't shoot me. He's he's high. 187 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 1: The officer pulls his weapon because he keeps saying keep 188 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,199 Speaker 1: your hands on the steering wheel, keep your hands where 189 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 1: I can see them, keep your hands out in full view. 190 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,559 Speaker 1: And Floyd doesn't comply, so he draws his weapon. Put 191 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 1: your hands on the steering wheel. Okay, He puts his 192 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,360 Speaker 1: hands as steering wheel. The officer immediately holsters his weapon, 193 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,960 Speaker 1: puts him in handcuffs, walks him, walks him toward the 194 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 1: other vehicle, to the police vehicle. Why didn't we see 195 00:12:56,400 --> 00:13:01,280 Speaker 1: this video until now? Why is it that a British tabloid, 196 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 1: the Daily Mail were the ones that got it and 197 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 1: posted it. Shouldn't the American public in a case of 198 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:12,680 Speaker 1: this gravity that affected American consciousness and was having a 199 00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,839 Speaker 1: real effect, a very negative one on Citi's Coast to coast. 200 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 1: Shouldn't we have seen the full context of the arrest. 201 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 1: They had the body camera footage. Why do we have 202 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:23,960 Speaker 1: to wait months to see this? Because it does not 203 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:30,439 Speaker 1: support the narrative of racist, evil cops. It shows that 204 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:36,319 Speaker 1: cops were challenged with a very difficult situation, a criminal 205 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:40,440 Speaker 1: from his past who was high and not complying with 206 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:45,679 Speaker 1: lawful orders. And then, because he had said so many 207 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:49,319 Speaker 1: times I can't breathe, the officer and he should be 208 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 1: held accountable for this because it's on a him, right. 209 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,680 Speaker 1: You've got someone handcuffed, you got your knee on their neck. 210 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:59,679 Speaker 1: That's not okay, that's criminal. He killed the man. So again, 211 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,320 Speaker 1: I'm not saying the officer isn't guilty of excessive force 212 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 1: leading to a death here, and I'm not saying he 213 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:09,840 Speaker 1: shouldn't face charges. I still believe he should. But the 214 00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 1: narrative of a racist cop just going out to kill 215 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:16,439 Speaker 1: a black man for no reason whatsoever other than racism, 216 00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 1: which is what we were fed. That's what we were told. 217 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 1: That's why Lebron James went out and said that black 218 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 1: people are quote literally being hunted when they leave their homes. 219 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 1: That was the Lebron James quote. Right, That's just not true. 220 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 1: That's not And no one would watch this, No fair 221 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 1: minded person watches this video and says, well, these cops 222 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:38,200 Speaker 1: just want to kill this guy. No, it was the 223 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 1: cops were dealing with an emotionally disturbed under the influence 224 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 1: of drugs person having a complete panic and did not 225 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:54,360 Speaker 1: handle it appropriately and one officer put pressure on his neck, 226 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:57,360 Speaker 1: killed him, led to his death, and is going to 227 00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 1: be held accountable for it. But there's no there is 228 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 1: no systemic targeting of black of a black man by 229 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 1: his race from the start of this video, from the 230 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 1: start of this video that makes you think that this 231 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:14,360 Speaker 1: was a racially motivated killing. And this is what there's 232 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 1: going to be a lot of a lot of debate 233 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 1: in fighting over right now. It was excessive force dealing 234 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 1: with the difficult with the difficult arrest, which is illegal, 235 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:27,400 Speaker 1: but that's not what we were told this was in 236 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 1: the beginning. We were told this was an execution. We 237 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:35,480 Speaker 1: were told that this was just sheer, pure racism. I 238 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,480 Speaker 1: think that's a much more difficult case to make when 239 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:40,920 Speaker 1: you see the way these officers interacted with Floyd, spoke 240 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 1: to Floyd, worked with them until he simply refused to 241 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:49,200 Speaker 1: get into the cop car after all kinds of asking, cajoling, 242 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 1: you know, practically begging the officers please just get in 243 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 1: the car, please the world. We'll roll down the windows 244 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 1: for you. We'll make sure you're Okada. That's what the 245 00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 1: racist cops say. Please just get in the car. We'll 246 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:02,000 Speaker 1: roll down the windows, make sure you're comfortable. NI guy 247 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 1: wouldn't get in the car. So then officer Chauvin puts 248 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,000 Speaker 1: him on the ground, puts his knee on his neck, 249 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 1: and kills him and kills him. But I remember he's saying, 250 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,160 Speaker 1: I can't breathe, which is what he had been saying 251 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:17,760 Speaker 1: for ten minutes before when he could breathe. The officer 252 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:21,560 Speaker 1: is still responsible, But to me, it looks like involuntary manslaughter. 253 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:27,600 Speaker 1: It's certainly not a hate crime murder that was intentional 254 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 1: from the start. That's a very big difference. You're in 255 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:36,400 Speaker 1: the freedom This is the Buck Sex and Show podcast. 256 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 1: Is there a double standard from elected officials, from people 257 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 1: and positions of power in the BLM era? Well, here's 258 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,840 Speaker 1: a great example of that double standard from here to Blasio. 259 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 1: Who now, because he took city time and resources to 260 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 1: paint a BLM sign outside of Trump Tower, other groups 261 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 1: want to Blue Lives Matter signs on the streets. Right, 262 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,320 Speaker 1: The streets are now an open political canvas, aren't they. Oh, 263 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:08,120 Speaker 1: but they have to go through a permitting process. Did 264 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 1: Blasio go through a permitting process for his BLM sign? 265 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 1: Please play for We haven't said no to people who said, 266 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:18,560 Speaker 1: if you want to apply, you can apply, but there's 267 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 1: a process. Look, the fact is that what I decided 268 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:27,840 Speaker 1: to do with the Black Lives Matter murals, and this 269 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,879 Speaker 1: came out of a meeting a Gracie mansion weeks ago 270 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,639 Speaker 1: with community leaders and activists who said, this would be 271 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,840 Speaker 1: such an important thing for this city to declare officially 272 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:42,840 Speaker 1: that is something again transcends all normal realities because we 273 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 1: are in a moment of history where this had to 274 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,760 Speaker 1: be said and done. That's a decision I made, But 275 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,560 Speaker 1: the normal process continues for anyone who wants to apply 276 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:56,359 Speaker 1: this really is the lib mentality across the board about BLM. 277 00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:58,680 Speaker 1: All the rules are out the window if it interferes 278 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:00,920 Speaker 1: with the BLM agenda. You know, that's what he says. 279 00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 1: You know this, this, this normal point in or this 280 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:08,200 Speaker 1: extraordinary point in time, is what it says. Who That's 281 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,159 Speaker 1: what I mean, All of a sudden, whether it's the 282 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:14,040 Speaker 1: protests or the signs on the streets, normal rules don't apply. Oh, 283 00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:17,600 Speaker 1: because this is so important. What exactly makes this moment 284 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 1: so important? What has changed? What's the big policy directive? 285 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,840 Speaker 1: What's the change in law that's going to make us 286 00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:29,000 Speaker 1: all better? Oh, it's all just right nonsense from libs, nonsense, 287 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:35,120 Speaker 1: self righteous virtue signaling nonsense from the Democrat Party. There 288 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 1: we go. Oh, and the process is the punishment, of course, 289 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,919 Speaker 1: with his there's a process to go through.

President Trump sat down with Axios, which is, say, 293 00:18:55,640 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 1: another one of these uh lib news websites. Oh, but 294 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:04,679 Speaker 1: they provide the great service of giving you one paragraph 295 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,240 Speaker 1: and then a talking point a Lib talking point below 296 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:10,760 Speaker 1: of what the conclusion is of why this matters. You know, 297 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,200 Speaker 1: for the Libs who have who find the New York 298 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,840 Speaker 1: Times front page is taking too long to read, you know, 299 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:19,000 Speaker 1: they go they go to Axios. I guess I don't 300 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,600 Speaker 1: know people some people go to this website. It is 301 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,719 Speaker 1: started by political people. How many lib websites with all 302 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,720 Speaker 1: the same opinions, all the same thoughts on the news 303 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 1: have to exist. I mean, it's it's pretty amazing when 304 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 1: you think about it, isn't it. They're all telling you 305 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,399 Speaker 1: exactly the same thing. None of them have anything, no 306 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,720 Speaker 1: unique takes. It's just are we far left or just 307 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,439 Speaker 1: sort of far left? Okay, well, I'm so glad that 308 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:46,480 Speaker 1: we have those diverse opinions out there for the liberal media. 309 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 1: But anyway, we've got the president weighed in on a 310 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:55,520 Speaker 1: number on a number of issues here, and they're they're 311 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,280 Speaker 1: they're hammering him today. They're picking the parts of the 312 00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 1: interview where look at it wasn't it wasn't a particularly 313 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:02,800 Speaker 1: strong interview for Trump. I don't know why he sits 314 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:06,879 Speaker 1: down with Axios, and you know, at this point in time, 315 00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 1: so that they can push him on things that I 316 00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:12,920 Speaker 1: don't some of the things I think are just clearly 317 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,720 Speaker 1: meant to go Trump. And everyone knows that if you're 318 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,440 Speaker 1: in the press and you ask the president a question 319 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:22,639 Speaker 1: where he's expected to give a certain answer and he 320 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 1: doesn't want to, he really likes to stick it to 321 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:27,240 Speaker 1: the media and be like, no, I'm not gonna I'm 322 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 1: not gonna give the answer that I know I'm supposed 323 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,199 Speaker 1: to give. I'm not going to say the thing that 324 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:34,719 Speaker 1: I know I'm supposed to say. So there was some 325 00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:38,480 Speaker 1: of that too. But he was asked about where we 326 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 1: are with COVID and in this Axios interview, and here's 327 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:46,520 Speaker 1: what you said, play seventeen. Even in these states, however, 328 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:50,439 Speaker 1: where the virus is under controlling at a very low number, 329 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:54,680 Speaker 1: Americans should continue to be vigilant, be careful in order 330 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,920 Speaker 1: to prevent the new hot spots from opening up or 331 00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:01,720 Speaker 1: any new hotspots from ending up in those states. To 332 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 1: that end, diverge all Americans to continue to socially distance, 333 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,399 Speaker 1: wash your hands, wear a mask when you cannot, avoid 334 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 1: crowded places, and to protect the elderly, very very important, 335 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:22,400 Speaker 1: protect the elderly. So that was actually a Trump's press conference, 336 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,120 Speaker 1: but I same idea. It's talking about what he's trying 337 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 1: to do, what we're trying to do nationwide against COVID. 338 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 1: I will return to this issue of how the Libs 339 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:36,680 Speaker 1: really give this sense that they know what would need 340 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,359 Speaker 1: to be done to make this virus go away. And 341 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 1: I'm just wondering when will they tell us? When can 342 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,760 Speaker 1: we hear? Because if their only thing is wear a 343 00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 1: mask and shut down the economy, that won't work, and 344 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:54,239 Speaker 1: that is crazy. So this this make believe world they 345 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,360 Speaker 1: live in where there is no virus. The virus has 346 00:21:56,440 --> 00:22:00,960 Speaker 1: hit all over the world all right, and countries that 347 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 1: we had been told have beaten it or having surges 348 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:09,600 Speaker 1: right now. So they're still trying to suppress it. And 349 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 1: it's you know, it's a challenge all over the globe. 350 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:15,679 Speaker 1: And if you look on a per capita basis, the 351 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,520 Speaker 1: US is still in far better shape when it comes 352 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:22,600 Speaker 1: to mortality from this than many other comparable major countries, 353 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:28,200 Speaker 1: you know, the UK, Italy, Spain were pretty even with Germany. Anyway, 354 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,160 Speaker 1: I'll get back to COVID response in a second. Now 355 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,879 Speaker 1: that was on me. I picked out a clip that 356 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:34,800 Speaker 1: was not of the Axios interview but of the Trump 357 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:39,280 Speaker 1: Press conference yesterday. So let's actually go into a pretty sermark. 358 00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 1: I'm assuming well, I know this was a question that 359 00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 1: was asked in the press conference about John Lewis, the President, 360 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:51,080 Speaker 1: getting a lot of pushback on this one place sixteen. 361 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 1: I don't know John Lewis. He chose not to come 362 00:22:54,640 --> 00:23:00,680 Speaker 1: to my inauguration. He chose, I don't. I never journalist. 363 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 1: Actually I don't believe. Do you find him impressive? I 364 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 1: can't say one way or the other. I find a 365 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:10,119 Speaker 1: lot of people impressive. I find many people not impressive. 366 00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:12,800 Speaker 1: But no, but I didn't you find his story? He 367 00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,720 Speaker 1: didn't come to my inauguration, he didn't come to my 368 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:18,480 Speaker 1: study of the Union speeches. And that's okay, that's his right. 369 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:23,359 Speaker 1: And again, nobody has done more right back to the 370 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:25,720 Speaker 1: Americans than I have. I understand he should have come, 371 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,160 Speaker 1: but I think he made a big mistake of taking 372 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 1: your relationship with him out of it. Do you find 373 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:34,680 Speaker 1: his story impressive? What he's done for this country was 374 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:37,920 Speaker 1: a person that devoted a lot of energy and a 375 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 1: lot of heart to civil rights. But there were many 376 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:46,480 Speaker 1: others also. There's a petition to rename the Edmund Pettis 377 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:50,120 Speaker 1: Bridge in Selma Alabama as the John Lewis Bridge. Would 378 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,360 Speaker 1: you support that idea? Would I would have no objection 379 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:54,360 Speaker 1: to it if they'd like to do it, Yeah, would 380 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:58,800 Speaker 1: have no objection to it whatsoever. But see, that's not 381 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:03,159 Speaker 1: acceptable to the establishment, the live media. He's supposed to 382 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:07,000 Speaker 1: genuflect and go on a long You know, there's so 383 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:08,919 Speaker 1: many people in the media that they honestly don't know 384 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:11,800 Speaker 1: a darned thing about the legacy of John Lewis or 385 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:13,840 Speaker 1: really the civil rights movement, but they know what they're 386 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 1: supposed to say. You know, he was a giant of 387 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,320 Speaker 1: the civil rights movement, a hero and look, he was 388 00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:21,840 Speaker 1: a hero of the civil rights movement. That's true. But 389 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:25,520 Speaker 1: Trump doesn't like to be in a position where he 390 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 1: has to say the thing that everybody has to say 391 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,200 Speaker 1: in that moment in time. You can argue that this 392 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,080 Speaker 1: is or you could certainly take the position this is 393 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:37,120 Speaker 1: a little bit childish of the president, and you know 394 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:42,040 Speaker 1: he shouldn't play into the journalist's hands on these things. 395 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:44,639 Speaker 1: But I also the president takes it kind of personally. 396 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 1: Why didn't John Lewis show up the Presidence inauguration? But really, 397 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,520 Speaker 1: the president of United States, I think he's allowed. I 398 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:54,320 Speaker 1: think he's allowed to be a little annoyed about that. 399 00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:58,600 Speaker 1: I do wish the President was a little more generous 400 00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,800 Speaker 1: about you know, John Lewis as civil rights here. But 401 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 1: John Lewis as congressman is a politician just like any 402 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:06,960 Speaker 1: other folks right there. These are different things. This is 403 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,040 Speaker 1: the This is a bit similar to you know, John McCain. 404 00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:15,640 Speaker 1: Of course his military service, Uh, incredible, wonderful, praiseworthy, honorable, 405 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:19,520 Speaker 1: all that, that's all true. John McCain the politician really 406 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:21,840 Speaker 1: like to send other people's children off to fight wars 407 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:25,440 Speaker 1: that weren't a particularly good idea and love to get 408 00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,440 Speaker 1: nice things written about him in the New York Times 409 00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:30,840 Speaker 1: at the expense of the conservative movement in this country. Okay, 410 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:34,000 Speaker 1: like we're allowed to criticize a policy. I'm not criticizing 411 00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:35,479 Speaker 1: as a human being, I'm not you know, I'm not 412 00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:39,840 Speaker 1: to be rude about somebody who has passed away. But 413 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:43,760 Speaker 1: they're these are different, These are different areas of discussion. 414 00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:46,520 Speaker 1: But Trump should know that that's not that's a nuance 415 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:50,879 Speaker 1: that will not be in any way, will not be 416 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:53,840 Speaker 1: accepted at this point in time. You're allowed only one thing. 417 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:57,199 Speaker 1: It has to be according to the media, and according 418 00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:01,240 Speaker 1: to the establishment, you have to bow down and just 419 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:05,600 Speaker 1: speak in the most glowing terms possible about every aspect 420 00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,679 Speaker 1: of anything that John Lewis ever did. Ever, that's the 421 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:10,920 Speaker 1: only thing, that's the only thing that's allowed. Now. Again, 422 00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,720 Speaker 1: I'm somebody who thinks that when someone passes away, out 423 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 1: of respect for the family, there should there should be 424 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:18,919 Speaker 1: a little bit of a decency in public discourse and 425 00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,359 Speaker 1: just you know, use your judgment, right it be a 426 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:25,720 Speaker 1: nice human being about things when you can. But the 427 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:29,000 Speaker 1: president is getting absolutely hammoring. Oh my gosh, the journalists 428 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:31,440 Speaker 1: are all freaking out about this absolutely all day. I'm 429 00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:36,639 Speaker 1: still the John Lewis news cycle that we're in right 430 00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:41,520 Speaker 1: now for me is largely dominated by the blaring and 431 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:47,800 Speaker 1: completely unacceptable double standard for travel to this funeral. Right, 432 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 1: you can have a funeral, you're not allowed. John Lewis 433 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:55,200 Speaker 1: is important, so he can have multiple funeral services where 434 00:26:55,359 --> 00:27:01,280 Speaker 1: states will waive the health restrictions in play for those 435 00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:03,640 Speaker 1: two for people to be able to go, because it's 436 00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:07,480 Speaker 1: all so special. It's also because he's important. Your family 437 00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:09,159 Speaker 1: is not that the state wants. You know, your family 438 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 1: is not important. I tell you this right now, if 439 00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:13,880 Speaker 1: I had a family friend, or god forbid, a member 440 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:16,359 Speaker 1: my family who passed away during this pandemic, it's a 441 00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:19,720 Speaker 1: hell of a lot more important to me than going 442 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:22,040 Speaker 1: to a John Lewis funeral. I find somebody who is 443 00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:25,960 Speaker 1: in the public eye, right Your actual connection to someone 444 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:27,600 Speaker 1: in assuming that I didn't know him, I didn't, I 445 00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:30,000 Speaker 1: never met them. In your actual connection to a family member, 446 00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:31,920 Speaker 1: I know, people say, oh my gosh, I'll give you. Yeah. 447 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:33,800 Speaker 1: Your connection to a family member matters a heck of 448 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,520 Speaker 1: a lot more than paying your respects to a political figure. 449 00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:40,240 Speaker 1: But the state allows one and not the other. Why 450 00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:43,440 Speaker 1: is that? Well, we all know why, because they pretend 451 00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:45,000 Speaker 1: that this is all about health, but it's really all 452 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:53,000 Speaker 1: about so very much more, and it's really ultimately supposed 453 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,960 Speaker 1: to just be about making all of this Trump's fault. 454 00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:59,560 Speaker 1: This is all everything that we see happening across the country, 455 00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:01,160 Speaker 1: all the bad things going on as Trump's so old. 456 00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:07,200 Speaker 1: You know, here's bro Cuomo. He's done with his deadlifting 457 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:09,320 Speaker 1: for the day and he wants to lecture the country 458 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:13,159 Speaker 1: on what to do about about Trump and how what 459 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:16,520 Speaker 1: a terrible guy he is. Play five, middle of a pandemic, 460 00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,679 Speaker 1: and this President spent the weekend hitting golf balls and 461 00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:23,800 Speaker 1: bragging about his large MAGA crowd turnouts and coronavirus hot zones, 462 00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:30,639 Speaker 1: no mask, big crowd, buh fedic And the reality is 463 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:34,159 Speaker 1: once again, the key is the Wii. It's the truth, 464 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:37,240 Speaker 1: my brothers and sisters, This man is determined to keep 465 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:40,120 Speaker 1: down his golf handicap, not the number of cases that 466 00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:44,320 Speaker 1: are making us sick. Should we be pushing on Congress, absolutely, 467 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:46,600 Speaker 1: But you know, too many on the right or playing 468 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:50,920 Speaker 1: the game because they're afraid of him keeping his golf 469 00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:54,920 Speaker 1: handicap down instead of dealing with is this we're really 470 00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:57,840 Speaker 1: going to do this now? So what's the President's supposed 471 00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:00,320 Speaker 1: to do? We're all we're all under lockdown. We're all 472 00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:03,440 Speaker 1: dealing with this misery. Is he not allowed to play golf? 473 00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:05,920 Speaker 1: It's outdoors, it's zero risks for the people around him. 474 00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:10,080 Speaker 1: Your socially distanced, what's the problem. I remember when Obama, 475 00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:13,320 Speaker 1: who played a lot of golf. Obama would get criticized 476 00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:17,000 Speaker 1: for his golfing during two wars and a war against 477 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:20,200 Speaker 1: terrorism that the Obama administration was doing a terrible job 478 00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:25,560 Speaker 1: of winning, and there were mass casualty attacks on us 479 00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,240 Speaker 1: soil and isis and all that. Obama playing a lot 480 00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:30,440 Speaker 1: of golf, and the Libs would say, oh, it's so, 481 00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:34,880 Speaker 1: it was racist to criticize Obama playing golf. That was 482 00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:36,640 Speaker 1: what some of the journalists would say. It was just 483 00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:38,920 Speaker 1: it was just more evidence of the racism of the 484 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,520 Speaker 1: right that it so, are you allowed to play golf 485 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,360 Speaker 1: or not? You know, can we can we just get 486 00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:47,200 Speaker 1: can we get one standard? This is the problem with libs. 487 00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:50,040 Speaker 1: You can never make any headway in an argument with them, 488 00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:53,200 Speaker 1: or even an exchange of ideas, because what's true one 489 00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:55,920 Speaker 1: day is not true the next. To them, all truth 490 00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:57,880 Speaker 1: is relative. They just make it up as they go along. 491 00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:01,360 Speaker 1: It's whatever works in the moment, whatever gets people on 492 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:10,720 Speaker 1: their side excited, makes them feel good, and whatever they 493 00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:14,000 Speaker 1: say to that end is considered acceptable. Um, even something 494 00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:17,000 Speaker 1: as dumb as he he's keeping his golf handicap down 495 00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:21,040 Speaker 1: instead of COVID cases. What is the present supposed? Is 496 00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:24,640 Speaker 1: the president supposed to give a nationwide lockdown order? And 497 00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:27,239 Speaker 1: you know, we vote all this focus on testing, as 498 00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:30,280 Speaker 1: if if we have enough testing, we're going to deal 499 00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:32,320 Speaker 1: with this problem in a way that we wouldn't. We 500 00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:34,200 Speaker 1: got eight hundred thousand tests a day in this country, 501 00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:36,600 Speaker 1: I think is the last number I saw it, basically 502 00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:38,680 Speaker 1: doing a million tests a day all across America close 503 00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:41,480 Speaker 1: to it? Are are we in much better shape? Because 504 00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,200 Speaker 1: of that? A test is not a cure, A test 505 00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:46,880 Speaker 1: is not even a treatment. What what do we think 506 00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:51,640 Speaker 1: for a disease that has a huge asymptomatic spread? How 507 00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:59,760 Speaker 1: is testing ever? Nam Nancy Pelosi? From my test? Does 508 00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:04,560 Speaker 1: it have enought? Testing? What? And trace? They've left out now? 509 00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:08,320 Speaker 1: Because it turns out that the trace plan that they 510 00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:11,680 Speaker 1: had at this stage of a pandemic was absurd. You're 511 00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,520 Speaker 1: never going to catch up to all these people anywhere, 512 00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:17,360 Speaker 1: not in anyone city, not in any one's state. This 513 00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:21,160 Speaker 1: is madness. It was madness from the beginning. But they thought, oh, yeah, 514 00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:23,760 Speaker 1: that's what we're gonna do. Remember, folks, there is a 515 00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:28,240 Speaker 1: huge ideological divide between people who understand that the government 516 00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:34,320 Speaker 1: is not is incapable in any way of solving certain problems, 517 00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:37,880 Speaker 1: and is inept in doing things that it should be 518 00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:39,840 Speaker 1: able to do. So there are some things that are 519 00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:42,800 Speaker 1: beyond government's capability to solve, and there are a lot 520 00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:45,000 Speaker 1: of other things that the government should be able to 521 00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:48,760 Speaker 1: At least make better, and it actually makes worse. And 522 00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:52,280 Speaker 1: we're seeing a lot of that with the COVID nineteen pandemic. 523 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:53,959 Speaker 1: We're seeing a lot of that play out before our 524 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:57,840 Speaker 1: eyes right now. And then of course all all the 525 00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:01,280 Speaker 1: blame shifting, all the f's to make this about Trump 526 00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:07,440 Speaker 1: and about nothing else. Maxine Waters always always interesting soundbites 527 00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:11,760 Speaker 1: from Maxine Waters, Member of Congress, Folks Democrat Member of Congress, 528 00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:15,240 Speaker 1: blay clip twelve. And for those people who like him 529 00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:17,680 Speaker 1: and support him and believe in him, many of them 530 00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:21,360 Speaker 1: have followed him, and in following him, you know, it 531 00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:24,440 Speaker 1: took all of this time for him to finally come 532 00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:28,080 Speaker 1: around to say that masks were important and masks should 533 00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:30,440 Speaker 1: be worn. And I want to tell you a lot 534 00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:33,800 Speaker 1: of people who have not warned those masks because their 535 00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:37,560 Speaker 1: their their president didn't wear them and told them that 536 00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:40,840 Speaker 1: it didn't make any difference or probably dead now and 537 00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:46,880 Speaker 1: he's responsible for it. People didn't wear masks because of Trump, 538 00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,719 Speaker 1: she says, and because of that they died. So they 539 00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:53,960 Speaker 1: died because of Trump. A lot of people died who 540 00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:55,800 Speaker 1: were wearing masks all the time. I just wanted, so 541 00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:59,120 Speaker 1: what do we think about that? There's a there's a 542 00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:02,479 Speaker 1: logical fallacy that keeps getting applied here. We have no 543 00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:06,160 Speaker 1: idea whether somebody didn't wear a mask at one point 544 00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:09,120 Speaker 1: in time because of Trump and got COVID and then died, 545 00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:11,400 Speaker 1: or if they were wearing a mask a lot and 546 00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:13,920 Speaker 1: then it didn't matter because they still got the virus, 547 00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:19,520 Speaker 1: which is absolutely not just possible, it's the evidence point 548 00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:22,920 Speaker 1: to it as being probable. It is likelier than enough 549 00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:25,080 Speaker 1: that if you're exposed this virus, the mask will not 550 00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:28,840 Speaker 1: save you from getting infected, at least based on all 551 00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:31,560 Speaker 1: the studies that they actually have real studies on this, 552 00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:36,239 Speaker 1: not theoretical modeling. I'll give you get another example of it. 553 00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:41,840 Speaker 1: You're in the hud This is the Buck Sex and 554 00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:50,880 Speaker 1: Show podcast. Sweden has joined the Netherlands, now yet another 555 00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:55,760 Speaker 1: country where their top docs, their their health experts have 556 00:33:55,840 --> 00:34:01,440 Speaker 1: come out to say, hey, there's no point quote, we 557 00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:06,800 Speaker 1: see no point in wearing masks, including on public transportation. 558 00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:10,560 Speaker 1: And this is as COVID nineteen cases are dropping in 559 00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:13,560 Speaker 1: the country. This is all reported by Fortune magazine and 560 00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:17,560 Speaker 1: Newsweek here. As of Sunday, the latest death rate in 561 00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:23,920 Speaker 1: Sweden per one hundred thousand people was fifty six the 562 00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:26,160 Speaker 1: figure is lower than that in the UK sixty nine, 563 00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:30,719 Speaker 1: Spain sixty Italy fifty eight. So that's that's data that 564 00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:34,719 Speaker 1: Newsweek put out from JOHNS Hopkins University. UK has the 565 00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,840 Speaker 1: world's fourth highest death toll overall, while Spain in Italy, 566 00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:40,960 Speaker 1: which had the six highest and eighth highest death tolls, respectively, 567 00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:44,239 Speaker 1: were formerly Europe's two countries worst hit by the outbreak. 568 00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:48,640 Speaker 1: Sweden's latest case fatality ratio portion of deaths compared to 569 00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:51,520 Speaker 1: total cases was reported to be seven point one percent. 570 00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:55,480 Speaker 1: The figure is more than half the percentage in reported 571 00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:58,600 Speaker 1: in the UK fifteen percent, half of Italy and Belgium 572 00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:01,440 Speaker 1: each at about fourteen percent, and almost half out of 573 00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:07,080 Speaker 1: France thirteen percent. So Sweden has less per capita deaths. Okay, 574 00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:10,960 Speaker 1: Sweden has done better against the virus and never locked down. 575 00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:14,040 Speaker 1: Someone explained a few months ago. We were told, Oh, 576 00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:18,160 Speaker 1: Sweden is experimenting a national sacrifice and it's terrible and 577 00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:21,480 Speaker 1: everyone's going to die there. No, there were people got sick, 578 00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:25,360 Speaker 1: people died, just like it's happened everywhere. No lockdown, better 579 00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:28,400 Speaker 1: outcome than a whole lot of its neighboring countries that 580 00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:33,839 Speaker 1: did lockdown. Someone want to explain that no, no mandated 581 00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:38,160 Speaker 1: mask wearing outside. None of this, My friends, I understand. 582 00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:40,480 Speaker 1: I'm sick of this issue too. I want all of 583 00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:44,480 Speaker 1: this to go away. But the people who were exploiting 584 00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:48,360 Speaker 1: this and who are hysterical and don't learn from the 585 00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:51,839 Speaker 1: past are the ones that are making the decisions now 586 00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:54,560 Speaker 1: about what's going to happen in the future. The lockdowns 587 00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:58,720 Speaker 1: are getting worse. Thanks for listening to the Bus Sesson 588 00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:03,560 Speaker 1: Show podcast. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, 589 00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:07,879 Speaker 1: or wherever you get your podcasts. Yeah. Look, I think 590 00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:12,359 Speaker 1: the federal officials, the White House, doctor Burkes, the Secretary, 591 00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:15,960 Speaker 1: just sending the exact wrong message. They've learned nothing in 592 00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:18,759 Speaker 1: six months. They're saying the same thing they said about 593 00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:22,040 Speaker 1: the economic reopening. Just do it, Just do it. It 594 00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:26,160 Speaker 1: will be fine. No, don't just do it. It It wasn't fine. 595 00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:29,120 Speaker 1: We learned that lesson. Do it. If you have the 596 00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:32,400 Speaker 1: virus under control, do it. If you have the safeguards 597 00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:38,040 Speaker 1: in place, do it carefully. Let's understand that what Cuomo 598 00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:41,239 Speaker 1: is really advocating for here is lockdown until election day 599 00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:45,319 Speaker 1: New York is lockdown. Cannot eat inside, cannot gather in 600 00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:50,120 Speaker 1: places told, where masks everywhere, told, the social distance. They're 601 00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:53,799 Speaker 1: arresting people that are violating these things. Now, New York 602 00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:57,080 Speaker 1: is lockdown. Other parts of the country are also in 603 00:36:57,200 --> 00:37:00,239 Speaker 1: various stages of lockdown, right. I mean, they're not yet 604 00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:03,759 Speaker 1: at the point where they're able to monitor you inside 605 00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:06,560 Speaker 1: your house, but I'm not I'm not sure that they're 606 00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:10,279 Speaker 1: never going to get there in terms of your outside life, 607 00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:13,680 Speaker 1: what you can do outdoors, all kinds of restrictions. Still, 608 00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:18,760 Speaker 1: so what are we seeing here. We have record high cases, 609 00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:24,439 Speaker 1: and there's plenty of data to point to the case, 610 00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:29,759 Speaker 1: the caseload falling, especially ICU hospitalization in Arizona, um in 611 00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:34,960 Speaker 1: several other important states. Right now, if you look at it, 612 00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:38,840 Speaker 1: the the ICUs are getting more freed up in Florida, 613 00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:43,080 Speaker 1: more freed up in Arizona. So it seems to anyone 614 00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:46,800 Speaker 1: who's looking at this with objective eyes that the virus 615 00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:49,839 Speaker 1: is spreading across the country, because that's what this virus does. 616 00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:53,239 Speaker 1: And I know that's that seems like a tautology. It 617 00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:55,480 Speaker 1: seems like, well, of course, buck, but no, there are 618 00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:57,440 Speaker 1: people who don't seem to don't seem to accept that. 619 00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:00,480 Speaker 1: They think, if only we had more mask wearing. If 620 00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:02,359 Speaker 1: only we did as we were told, like good little 621 00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:05,000 Speaker 1: boys and girls, we wouldn't have this problem. It's just 622 00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:13,520 Speaker 1: not true. It's just not true. The dictates of people 623 00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:17,320 Speaker 1: like Cuomo are based in a dishonesty. The dishonesty is 624 00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:20,680 Speaker 1: that New York did not suffer through the worst of 625 00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:23,520 Speaker 1: this epidemic of any place in the entire country, which 626 00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:25,840 Speaker 1: it did, and had more people die here for capital 627 00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:27,680 Speaker 1: than anywhere else really in the world, which we did. 628 00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:30,600 Speaker 1: So if you're looking at this, what is more likely 629 00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:36,080 Speaker 1: that New Yorkers somehow learned over the course of months 630 00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:40,080 Speaker 1: to all change their individual behaviors perfectly so that the 631 00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:44,160 Speaker 1: virus would really no longer be a threat here, Or 632 00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:47,040 Speaker 1: that the virus burned through the population of New York 633 00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:50,400 Speaker 1: so thoroughly that we now have heard immunity against it. 634 00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:53,600 Speaker 1: What's more likely. I'm here. I can tell you that 635 00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:56,200 Speaker 1: people were wearing masks the whole time. People have been 636 00:38:56,239 --> 00:39:00,839 Speaker 1: social distancing the whole time. So what really happened here? 637 00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:05,480 Speaker 1: And if what Cuomo says is true, if this really 638 00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:08,759 Speaker 1: is Oh, people, they haven't learned, they haven't listened that 639 00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:10,480 Speaker 1: I want a mask, I told him, I'm to wear 640 00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:14,760 Speaker 1: a mask. Quite in awhare a mask if that's what happened. 641 00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:17,480 Speaker 1: The moment that we try to go back to our lives, 642 00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:19,480 Speaker 1: the virus is going to explode in New York again. 643 00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:21,919 Speaker 1: Right the moment that we have an actual reopening here, 644 00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:25,440 Speaker 1: the virus is going to be everywhere. So what are 645 00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:28,839 Speaker 1: we doing? We all agreed at the beginning of this, 646 00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:31,400 Speaker 1: or at least we thought we did that. Remember, this 647 00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:33,600 Speaker 1: was fifteen days to slow the spread. We're almost at 648 00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:36,960 Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty days to slow the spread. We 649 00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:39,360 Speaker 1: were told that it was just a good hospital capacity. Ready, 650 00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:42,600 Speaker 1: not a single You cannot find one case of a 651 00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:46,200 Speaker 1: person anywhere in the country who was denied care in 652 00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:49,920 Speaker 1: a hospital in the United States because of lack of resources. 653 00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:52,480 Speaker 1: Not one time have I seen this, And I'm trust 654 00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:56,080 Speaker 1: me when I say it would have been reported on right. 655 00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:59,400 Speaker 1: The news would have been all over it. So what 656 00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:03,840 Speaker 1: is this really? It's all these restrictions to slow the spread. 657 00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:07,160 Speaker 1: We are just stretching out the spread of this virus 658 00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:11,920 Speaker 1: and adding maximum economic impact to it and political instability. 659 00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:14,960 Speaker 1: I'll get it to the mail in ballot issue in 660 00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:18,480 Speaker 1: a few moments too. This is this is where we 661 00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:21,000 Speaker 1: are right now, What is the answer that is offered 662 00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:24,120 Speaker 1: by the other side. They never tell us. They act like, oh, 663 00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:26,280 Speaker 1: if only you listen to I'm sitting here saying, Okay, 664 00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:29,759 Speaker 1: what are we gonna do? He says. Chromos says, until 665 00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:32,320 Speaker 1: the virus is under control, it's in. It's under control 666 00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:34,719 Speaker 1: in New York, in New Jersey. I think because it 667 00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:38,080 Speaker 1: got we went through a mass in mass infection, which 668 00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:42,840 Speaker 1: effectively now is mass inoculation, t SELL and antibody immunity 669 00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:46,480 Speaker 1: put together. You got a huge reduction in the ability 670 00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:48,560 Speaker 1: of this thing to spread in New York. That's my belief. 671 00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:50,960 Speaker 1: And they're plenty. They're plenty of good doctors out there 672 00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:55,600 Speaker 1: who have already said the same thing. Right. There are 673 00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:58,200 Speaker 1: some areas where you know, we were wrong. We didn't 674 00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:00,279 Speaker 1: see this coming. I thought that it was going to 675 00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:03,719 Speaker 1: dramatically drop down in the summertime, the same way that 676 00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:08,719 Speaker 1: it does with seasonal influenza. That didn't happen, right. The 677 00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:12,080 Speaker 1: spread happened all across the Sun belt over the summer. 678 00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:16,719 Speaker 1: So what has happened then, right? And why is it 679 00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:19,280 Speaker 1: that we didn't know these things? We haven't understood all along? 680 00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:22,680 Speaker 1: How to stop this? The reliance on masks, my friends 681 00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:27,200 Speaker 1: and the pandemic of nineteen eighteen, they were also there 682 00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:30,320 Speaker 1: were masking everywhere. There were you know, the pro masking 683 00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:32,560 Speaker 1: groups in different cities, and everyone was supposed to mask 684 00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:35,920 Speaker 1: all the time. Do we really believe that that was 685 00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:39,200 Speaker 1: an effective tactic? I mean, millions and millions of people 686 00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:41,319 Speaker 1: around the world died from the Spanish flu pandemic of 687 00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:44,359 Speaker 1: nineteen eighteen. If masking was so effective, it should be. 688 00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:47,880 Speaker 1: If it was a worthwhile tactic on its own to 689 00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:51,000 Speaker 1: deal with a pandemic, you would say, why doesn't it 690 00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:53,279 Speaker 1: bring it to a screeching halt in any area where 691 00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:55,959 Speaker 1: there's a real outbreak. And then I'd say, well, okay, 692 00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:58,520 Speaker 1: social distancing, of course that works. If human beings aren't 693 00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:00,440 Speaker 1: in contact with each other, they can't spread the virus. 694 00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:03,480 Speaker 1: But you can't run a society that way. And by 695 00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:06,760 Speaker 1: mixing these things together, masking and social distancing, well, which 696 00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:11,480 Speaker 1: one is really effective? You will not find any hard 697 00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:15,919 Speaker 1: science other than theoretical science. Right. We think that this 698 00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:18,719 Speaker 1: is true, and a lot of people believe it to 699 00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:22,280 Speaker 1: be true, But you will not find any hard evidence 700 00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:26,520 Speaker 1: that masking alone will stop the pandemic from spreading. It 701 00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:29,320 Speaker 1: might slow it a little bit, maybe by ten twenty percent, 702 00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:32,600 Speaker 1: who knows, but you still have a massive pandemic going 703 00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:34,160 Speaker 1: all over the country. I mean, I just wish we 704 00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:36,920 Speaker 1: could have an adult conversation about this because we're all 705 00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:38,480 Speaker 1: sick of it. I'm sick. I want to talk about it, 706 00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:41,120 Speaker 1: and we were all of course other topics, other things, 707 00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:46,040 Speaker 1: but this is it. They think if they can put 708 00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:49,480 Speaker 1: this all at Trump's feet and have the country lockdown 709 00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:52,840 Speaker 1: and miserable going into the election, we will, you know, 710 00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:55,800 Speaker 1: the American people will vote for anything that's not Trump 711 00:42:56,400 --> 00:43:02,080 Speaker 1: and just in a desperation act. And the desperation candidate 712 00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:06,480 Speaker 1: is gonna be Joe Biden. That's where it is. It's 713 00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:10,120 Speaker 1: also why the vice presidential pick, which is supposed to 714 00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:14,040 Speaker 1: happen any day this week, who knows. They might delay it. 715 00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:16,759 Speaker 1: I mean, people have been asking me, who do I 716 00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:19,600 Speaker 1: think it's gonna be. I think it's gonna be Kamala Harris. 717 00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:22,680 Speaker 1: That's what I think. I think it's gonna be Kamala Harris. 718 00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:27,520 Speaker 1: Media loves her. Remember Obama picked Joe Biden. So it's 719 00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:31,200 Speaker 1: like and everyone's kind of really and it's foreign policy 720 00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:35,040 Speaker 1: credentials to the Obama ticket. Yeah right, but you know, 721 00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:38,040 Speaker 1: there's there's really it just comes down to a pretty 722 00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:40,040 Speaker 1: small circle of people that will really, in the end 723 00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:43,759 Speaker 1: make this decision. The media loves Kamala Harris. She you know, 724 00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:46,600 Speaker 1: checks a lot of boxes that the Democrats want checked, 725 00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:50,560 Speaker 1: and that's it. I don't think these other names that 726 00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:55,760 Speaker 1: are being put out their bass out of California, Lance 727 00:43:55,840 --> 00:44:00,799 Speaker 1: Bottoms in Atlanta and Georgia, and these are mayors. I 728 00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:03,880 Speaker 1: think it's or at least Bottoms as a mayor. I 729 00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:06,600 Speaker 1: don't think that that's likely to happen. But this is 730 00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:09,000 Speaker 1: a more consequence. I could be wrong, by the way, 731 00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:11,920 Speaker 1: So who knows right? And the lives are crazy, who 732 00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:16,000 Speaker 1: knows what they're gonna do. I do think it's oh 733 00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:19,120 Speaker 1: well here, maybe maybe Atlanta mayor Bottoms is in fact 734 00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:21,319 Speaker 1: higher up in the running because she's willing to just 735 00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:25,160 Speaker 1: take every opportunity to trash Trump. So that's that's one 736 00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:27,640 Speaker 1: way to get in the good graces of the Democrat Party. 737 00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:30,279 Speaker 1: Play three. What do you think about when President Trump 738 00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:33,480 Speaker 1: says he personally has done more for black Americans than 739 00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:39,279 Speaker 1: anyone else. He's delusional, he's a narcissist, and he is delusional. 740 00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:44,239 Speaker 1: The only person that believes that is him. He's done 741 00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:48,240 Speaker 1: nothing for African Americans in this country, and she speak 742 00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:52,200 Speaker 1: that and the same sentence is speaking of John Lewis. 743 00:44:52,360 --> 00:45:07,880 Speaker 1: Is almost blasphemous. But okay, So Trump did have the 744 00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:11,480 Speaker 1: lowest African American unemployment I believe, ever measured in this 745 00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:15,040 Speaker 1: country under his presidency. So to say that he did 746 00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:18,359 Speaker 1: nothing for the African American community, I think is that's 747 00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:21,520 Speaker 1: clearly not true. If you're going to give presidents credit 748 00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:23,720 Speaker 1: for things, they're certainly giving him all the blame for COVID. 749 00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:26,759 Speaker 1: Now I think he should get credit for other milestones 750 00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:31,719 Speaker 1: and things that happen on the upside. But this vice 751 00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:35,720 Speaker 1: presidential pick is more consequential than they usually are because 752 00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:38,440 Speaker 1: we all know that Biden. He says he's gonna be 753 00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:40,000 Speaker 1: a one termer, and I think he's going to be 754 00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:42,920 Speaker 1: even less than a one termer. And it makes I've 755 00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:46,719 Speaker 1: walked you through this analysis that all lines up. He 756 00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:48,960 Speaker 1: gets to be a hero he doesn't have. They don't 757 00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:51,120 Speaker 1: need him there. He has no great leadership skills or 758 00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:54,360 Speaker 1: qualities that they really want. He's just a placeholder so 759 00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:58,640 Speaker 1: that they can get those swing voters in the Purple 760 00:45:58,719 --> 00:46:02,120 Speaker 1: States they need to win to I'm out and vote Democrat, 761 00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:04,920 Speaker 1: and then they'll hand it off to somebody who's who's 762 00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:07,840 Speaker 1: a more of a leftist. Now, Count Kamala Harris is 763 00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:12,200 Speaker 1: a transactional liberal. I mean, she's somebody who does what 764 00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:15,120 Speaker 1: she has to do to work her way up the 765 00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:20,680 Speaker 1: ladder of power, and so that may keep her from 766 00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:22,960 Speaker 1: being quite as radical as some of the others out there, 767 00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:25,440 Speaker 1: But I don't think that that's really the case anymore. 768 00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:28,880 Speaker 1: You know, the old Democrat Party had the Hillary Clinton 769 00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:33,359 Speaker 1: style radicalism I'm sorry, Hillary Clinton style pragmatism of pay 770 00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:36,120 Speaker 1: me and you know, I'll do whatever you want me 771 00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:38,319 Speaker 1: to do, right, I mean, it's it's what's best for 772 00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:42,279 Speaker 1: the Clinton individual brand, and that keeps it from being 773 00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:45,880 Speaker 1: too socialists two Marxist, a little too crazy. She was 774 00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:49,160 Speaker 1: still she was a progressive and a leftist, no question, 775 00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:52,440 Speaker 1: But she was a leftist that wanted to get paid, 776 00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:55,560 Speaker 1: all right. She was a leftist that believed in the 777 00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:58,480 Speaker 1: power of the dollar. And you look at something and 778 00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:00,400 Speaker 1: I think at all leftist at some level do they 779 00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:03,240 Speaker 1: want it for themselves and not for others. But Hilary 780 00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:07,200 Speaker 1: was somebody that look you could buy her off, and 781 00:47:07,239 --> 00:47:11,279 Speaker 1: so that created some degree of predictability. I think the 782 00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:15,240 Speaker 1: left today wants to go with somebody that is willing 783 00:47:15,880 --> 00:47:18,680 Speaker 1: to go scorched earth against the other side. And that's 784 00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:21,480 Speaker 1: why you see all this analysis now about what happens 785 00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:24,920 Speaker 1: if a Democrat wins this election, and they're saying this increasingly. 786 00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:26,640 Speaker 1: They're more open about this than they had been in 787 00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:29,200 Speaker 1: the past. They'll say things like they're going to pack 788 00:47:29,239 --> 00:47:34,400 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court, They're going to add statehood for DC 789 00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:37,680 Speaker 1: and for Puerto Rico, and try to pack the Senate 790 00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:40,600 Speaker 1: against the Republicans because those are two places that'll be 791 00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:44,799 Speaker 1: Democrat until Kingdom come. I mean, they'll be Democrat strongholds forever. 792 00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:50,120 Speaker 1: They're trying to do things that will structurally, oh amnesty, 793 00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:54,560 Speaker 1: of course, structurally change American politics so that we have 794 00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:58,640 Speaker 1: a one party we have one party rule in this country. 795 00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:02,400 Speaker 1: That is all on the table for the Democrats, and 796 00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:05,239 Speaker 1: I think the mainstream Democrat party would go along with that. 797 00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:08,319 Speaker 1: Now they have corporate America in their back pocket. They 798 00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:13,160 Speaker 1: have the academy, colleges, universities, Hollywood, ninety five percent of 799 00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:15,680 Speaker 1: the news media. They have all of that to bring 800 00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:18,120 Speaker 1: to bear. The only thing that stops them from getting 801 00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:20,600 Speaker 1: their way is that most Americans are like, I don't 802 00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:22,880 Speaker 1: really want to live in a socialist hell hole where 803 00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:27,160 Speaker 1: I'm being lectured on social justice nonsense all the time 804 00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:32,560 Speaker 1: and people are just constantly being micromanaged and hectored into oblivion. 805 00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:34,759 Speaker 1: I mean, just just being We're just going to live 806 00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:39,480 Speaker 1: in a state of endless nagging if Democrats get their way. 807 00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:41,560 Speaker 1: I mean, that's really what it is to be a 808 00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:45,880 Speaker 1: modern liberal, to be a leftist today. You know, a 809 00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:48,479 Speaker 1: Democrat who's really committed to the cause, you just want 810 00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:53,879 Speaker 1: to nag and undermine and just annoy the crap out 811 00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:56,279 Speaker 1: of everybody who wants to just live their life, make 812 00:48:56,280 --> 00:48:59,840 Speaker 1: their own choices, and have some basic rights protected and 813 00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:03,000 Speaker 1: left the hell alone. That's all they really want. Democrats 814 00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:08,000 Speaker 1: hate that. That is their kryptonite. You're in the Freedom 815 00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:14,920 Speaker 1: un This is the Buck Sex and Show podcast. You 816 00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:17,160 Speaker 1: all know it's not my name on the ballot.

So know all 821 00:49:30,280 --> 00:49:33,040 Speaker 1: of that right now is on this ballot. And I 822 00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:35,960 Speaker 1: can't thank you all enough for being part of this 823 00:49:36,040 --> 00:49:38,920 Speaker 1: journey with me. I can't wait to show our nation 824 00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:41,960 Speaker 1: that this is what people want right now. They want 825 00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:44,799 Speaker 1: real change, and they want it now, sated Philip, saying 826 00:49:44,840 --> 00:49:48,480 Speaker 1: it it's all about the the left wing agenda on 827 00:49:48,520 --> 00:49:51,520 Speaker 1: the ballot. Doesn't really even matter whether it's Biden or 828 00:49:51,560 --> 00:49:57,000 Speaker 1: anybody else for that matter. The Democrat Party has its priorities, 829 00:49:57,680 --> 00:50:01,880 Speaker 1: and this is the plan. This is the plan. AOC. Also, 830 00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:04,239 Speaker 1: you know that Congress is certainly on board with this. 831 00:50:04,600 --> 00:50:08,279 Speaker 1: They're radical, they're leftist. Blake Clip nine. When you are 832 00:50:08,320 --> 00:50:13,680 Speaker 1: put into a really high pressure situation, that's when people 833 00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:16,759 Speaker 1: start to change. That's when they start to shift, that's 834 00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:19,319 Speaker 1: when they start to hedge back on their values. And 835 00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:23,640 Speaker 1: that's why you see so much swarming in Washington right now. 836 00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:26,000 Speaker 1: That's why a lot of things, that's why you aren't 837 00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:30,279 Speaker 1: seeing the political courage that we need, which is why 838 00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:32,880 Speaker 1: it is so important that we have folks like Ilhan 839 00:50:33,239 --> 00:50:38,040 Speaker 1: who are anchoring our Congress around a moral center that 840 00:50:38,200 --> 00:50:43,240 Speaker 1: is accountable to everyday people and not lobbyists or corporations 841 00:50:43,239 --> 00:50:45,520 Speaker 1: that are looking to make a buck off of our 842 00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:50,880 Speaker 1: public good, off of our public institutions. And we have 843 00:50:51,080 --> 00:50:53,440 Speaker 1: so much of that right now, which is why it's 844 00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:56,719 Speaker 1: so important that we use this and we use this 845 00:50:56,760 --> 00:51:02,240 Speaker 1: opportunity to organize and to expand our AOC says something 846 00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:05,319 Speaker 1: very important there. And I know and make a lot 847 00:51:05,320 --> 00:51:07,160 Speaker 1: of jokes about AOC as to others, but I mean 848 00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:10,759 Speaker 1: that she says something very important that ilhan Omar and 849 00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:15,680 Speaker 1: other far left members of the Democrat Congress are are 850 00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:21,040 Speaker 1: are now creating an anchoring, a moral center of their party. Now. 851 00:51:21,080 --> 00:51:22,759 Speaker 1: I often talk to you about how I view the 852 00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:27,160 Speaker 1: Democrat Party as largely immoral and chasing what feels good 853 00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:31,360 Speaker 1: is what is useful for the purposes of power and control, 854 00:51:32,040 --> 00:51:34,480 Speaker 1: for a ment for a mentality, for an ideology that 855 00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:39,520 Speaker 1: is largely anti God, anti individualism, anti objective reality. And 856 00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:43,120 Speaker 1: I stand behind all of that. But as I've told you, 857 00:51:43,320 --> 00:51:47,120 Speaker 1: white liberals are actually large that they are the anti 858 00:51:47,200 --> 00:51:51,240 Speaker 1: God movement within America, as white liberals who aren't aren't 859 00:51:51,239 --> 00:51:54,319 Speaker 1: really religious, don't really believe in that stuff, and that 860 00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:57,200 Speaker 1: disparity between those who believe in God and those who don't, 861 00:51:57,239 --> 00:52:00,680 Speaker 1: between Democrats and Republicans. If it weren't for minority who 862 00:52:00,680 --> 00:52:04,319 Speaker 1: are Democrats, who are more connected to their church and 863 00:52:04,440 --> 00:52:07,560 Speaker 1: to their religion, would be even more apparent. But when 864 00:52:07,560 --> 00:52:11,279 Speaker 1: she says a moral center of the Democrat Party, understand 865 00:52:11,320 --> 00:52:16,880 Speaker 1: that she means she means to declare socialism and the 866 00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:23,239 Speaker 1: different policy dictates of the Democrats as inherently moral right. 867 00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:26,480 Speaker 1: That having this and what this means is that people 868 00:52:26,520 --> 00:52:29,719 Speaker 1: can make a determination, people in power can make a 869 00:52:29,719 --> 00:52:34,000 Speaker 1: determination about what can be taken from you by force 870 00:52:34,520 --> 00:52:39,919 Speaker 1: by this state, and that your success or your individual 871 00:52:40,040 --> 00:52:44,560 Speaker 1: choice is is only subject to the whims of the state. 872 00:52:44,600 --> 00:52:47,399 Speaker 1: There is no natural law, there's no natural right, there's 873 00:52:47,440 --> 00:52:51,520 Speaker 1: none of that. It's whatever whatever the government decides your 874 00:52:51,600 --> 00:52:55,040 Speaker 1: rights are, that's what they are. Right. This is whether 875 00:52:55,040 --> 00:52:57,480 Speaker 1: you want to talk about cultural Marxism or the economic 876 00:52:57,520 --> 00:53:00,600 Speaker 1: implications of this, all of that, all that points in 877 00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:06,520 Speaker 1: the same direction. So the moral center of the Democrat 878 00:53:06,600 --> 00:53:11,279 Speaker 1: Party becomes the state in place of God. That's what 879 00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:14,160 Speaker 1: you have to know. And so there's an essential truth 880 00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:16,759 Speaker 1: that she is getting at here that the moral core 881 00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:19,480 Speaker 1: the Democrats believe in is not that there is objective 882 00:53:19,560 --> 00:53:21,840 Speaker 1: right and wrong, that there are principles that are true 883 00:53:22,239 --> 00:53:25,600 Speaker 1: in all cases, that should be applied to all moral questions, 884 00:53:25,960 --> 00:53:29,640 Speaker 1: that they are universal and eternal. None of that right, 885 00:53:29,719 --> 00:53:32,920 Speaker 1: inalienable rights, all of that is just that's all just nonsense. 886 00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:36,440 Speaker 1: That's all just you know, bla bla blap claptrap. No, 887 00:53:36,560 --> 00:53:41,480 Speaker 1: what they see is the government in the actual role 888 00:53:41,960 --> 00:53:45,440 Speaker 1: of determining what is right and what is wrong. The 889 00:53:45,480 --> 00:53:48,960 Speaker 1: government tells you what you can and cannot do in 890 00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:53,400 Speaker 1: any sphere that it chooses, and determines it on a whim, 891 00:53:53,800 --> 00:53:57,600 Speaker 1: in real time, based on whoever's in power. This is 892 00:53:57,640 --> 00:54:02,879 Speaker 1: a huge door way open for totalitarianism. I'm not saying 893 00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:06,200 Speaker 1: we're gonna be come totalitarian tomorrow, but once that mentality 894 00:54:06,280 --> 00:54:10,160 Speaker 1: is adopted, how far are we from even a modern 895 00:54:10,200 --> 00:54:14,800 Speaker 1: totalitarian state like China? A generation or two maybe. Thanks 896 00:54:14,840 --> 00:54:18,120 Speaker 1: for listening to The bus Esson Show podcasts.

The the rescue bill of the 900 00:54:29,080 --> 00:54:32,799 Speaker 1: economy is run out, and so now we get to 901 00:54:32,880 --> 00:54:39,279 Speaker 1: play our favorite game. Who wants to play Chicken on 902 00:54:39,320 --> 00:54:44,680 Speaker 1: the Roadway with Nancy Pelosi with chardonnay socialist Dancy, And 903 00:54:44,960 --> 00:54:46,960 Speaker 1: I'm never going to take my foot off the pedal 904 00:54:47,160 --> 00:54:50,480 Speaker 1: I've covered for you. You better turn it off the 905 00:54:50,560 --> 00:54:53,200 Speaker 1: road or else. Who wants to Who wants to see 906 00:54:53,239 --> 00:54:56,040 Speaker 1: if Nancy's gonna play first? I don't know. This is 907 00:54:56,080 --> 00:55:00,720 Speaker 1: this is what she likes to do, especially with the 908 00:55:00,719 --> 00:55:04,759 Speaker 1: the political temperature as as high as it can possibly be, 909 00:55:06,040 --> 00:55:08,960 Speaker 1: and the more suffering and misery that can happen in 910 00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:12,160 Speaker 1: the meantime the better. Why is this in any way 911 00:55:12,040 --> 00:55:15,640 Speaker 1: an issue right now when we could just have an 912 00:55:15,719 --> 00:55:17,920 Speaker 1: extension of the benefits for a week or two while 913 00:55:17,920 --> 00:55:24,800 Speaker 1: they finished negotiation. No, Nancy wants Americans to feel pain. Nope, 914 00:55:24,920 --> 00:55:30,040 Speaker 1: no pain, no gain. Insane in the membrane, Nancy is 915 00:55:30,080 --> 00:55:34,919 Speaker 1: all about it. And here she is telling everybody that 916 00:55:35,840 --> 00:55:39,120 Speaker 1: it's all, Oh, what a surprise, It's all Republicans fall 917 00:55:39,160 --> 00:55:43,560 Speaker 1: play eleven. Right now today we have an emergency. A 918 00:55:43,680 --> 00:55:47,040 Speaker 1: building is on fire, and they're deciding how much water 919 00:55:47,120 --> 00:55:49,439 Speaker 1: they want to have in the bucket. This is very 920 00:55:49,480 --> 00:55:53,200 Speaker 1: important to start. Millions, millions of people could have fallen 921 00:55:53,280 --> 00:55:57,520 Speaker 1: into poverty without the six hundred dollars. They're so fussy 922 00:55:57,640 --> 00:56:02,000 Speaker 1: about any anecdote information they may have about somebody not 923 00:56:02,040 --> 00:56:05,040 Speaker 1: going to work because they make six hundred dollars on this, 924 00:56:05,320 --> 00:56:09,680 Speaker 1: but so cavalier about big money going to companies that 925 00:56:09,800 --> 00:56:13,279 Speaker 1: really shouldn't be having it. So the six hundred dollars 926 00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:16,920 Speaker 1: is very important in the lives of the American people. 927 00:56:17,080 --> 00:56:20,160 Speaker 1: When you want to speculate about stabilization and this or that, 928 00:56:20,239 --> 00:56:23,040 Speaker 1: if and when, that's for another day. For right now, 929 00:56:23,160 --> 00:56:27,239 Speaker 1: we have an emergency. But Nancy wants to hold up 930 00:56:27,280 --> 00:56:31,880 Speaker 1: the emergency. Nancy doesn't doesn't want to do anything. We've 931 00:56:31,880 --> 00:56:36,000 Speaker 1: seen this before. Who was it that was stalling twice 932 00:56:36,840 --> 00:56:38,360 Speaker 1: to get a bill pass to get money to the 933 00:56:38,360 --> 00:56:42,520 Speaker 1: American people. It was Nancy Pelosi and her lunatic Democrats. 934 00:56:43,600 --> 00:56:46,480 Speaker 1: So we've already seen this, We've already been to this place. 935 00:56:48,160 --> 00:56:52,120 Speaker 1: Sure enough, now we are having the same argument, the 936 00:56:52,160 --> 00:56:56,200 Speaker 1: same fight because the Democrats see political advantage in it. 937 00:56:56,239 --> 00:56:59,600 Speaker 1: That's what that's what's actually happening, that's what's going on 938 00:56:59,719 --> 00:57:03,000 Speaker 1: right now. And I think that they walked into a 939 00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:04,960 Speaker 1: bit of a trap here because remember, once you turn 940 00:57:05,040 --> 00:57:07,799 Speaker 1: on six hundred dollars a week unemployment in addition to 941 00:57:07,800 --> 00:57:11,879 Speaker 1: whatever state unemployment one gets. Those are pretty generous benefits now, 942 00:57:12,320 --> 00:57:14,160 Speaker 1: and I saw some messages about this last night I 943 00:57:14,239 --> 00:57:18,080 Speaker 1: was reading. I understand this is a different situation, right 944 00:57:18,160 --> 00:57:22,560 Speaker 1: that the government mandated the shutdown of the economy. People 945 00:57:22,760 --> 00:57:25,640 Speaker 1: lost jobs, People that I know very well, friends of mine, 946 00:57:25,680 --> 00:57:31,080 Speaker 1: lost jobs because of government policy. They absolutely should be helped. 947 00:57:31,720 --> 00:57:35,760 Speaker 1: They have been paying their taxes, paying into these state 948 00:57:35,760 --> 00:57:39,040 Speaker 1: insurance programs a lot for unemployment for exactly this reason. 949 00:57:39,320 --> 00:57:41,400 Speaker 1: So I am not you know, this is not oh 950 00:57:41,600 --> 00:57:44,040 Speaker 1: people are just all living, fat and happy and not 951 00:57:44,240 --> 00:57:48,360 Speaker 1: caring and no, no, not at all. But you can 952 00:57:48,440 --> 00:57:52,560 Speaker 1: see that at some point there does have to be 953 00:57:52,800 --> 00:57:58,480 Speaker 1: some mechanism to incentivize going back to work, especially for 954 00:57:58,520 --> 00:58:02,280 Speaker 1: those whose jobs pay them less than they are currently 955 00:58:02,320 --> 00:58:06,640 Speaker 1: getting on unemployment. If somebody told me, well, I love 956 00:58:06,640 --> 00:58:08,600 Speaker 1: my jobs, I'm probably a bad example. I would probably 957 00:58:08,600 --> 00:58:10,840 Speaker 1: do the show if I was getting paid, you know, 958 00:58:10,880 --> 00:58:14,360 Speaker 1: the same amount to not work anyway. But that's that's 959 00:58:14,360 --> 00:58:16,840 Speaker 1: the truth. I know that sounds all you're all all 960 00:58:17,080 --> 00:58:18,880 Speaker 1: buck Really it is true, though I probably would do 961 00:58:18,880 --> 00:58:22,120 Speaker 1: it anyway. Brucer Mark would be sending us postcards from 962 00:58:22,120 --> 00:58:24,360 Speaker 1: the beach in Jamaica, but I would still be doing 963 00:58:24,400 --> 00:58:29,919 Speaker 1: this show. Correct. Yeah, so for most people though, it's 964 00:58:29,920 --> 00:58:33,800 Speaker 1: a reasonable thing for them to say, I don't want 965 00:58:33,800 --> 00:58:35,560 Speaker 1: to I don't want to expose myself to possibly getting 966 00:58:35,600 --> 00:58:39,040 Speaker 1: this virus, and also I want I want to get 967 00:58:39,040 --> 00:58:41,560 Speaker 1: paid even more money, and so they're going to stay home. 968 00:58:41,640 --> 00:58:43,960 Speaker 1: So what is the big what is the big political 969 00:58:43,960 --> 00:58:46,680 Speaker 1: fight here? Democrats get to posture as Santa Claus. They 970 00:58:46,720 --> 00:58:49,000 Speaker 1: love this, Oh, just give people more money and list 971 00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:53,120 Speaker 1: amounts of more money, especially going to election. Republicans are saying, 972 00:58:53,200 --> 00:58:55,080 Speaker 1: we got to get people back to work because these 973 00:58:55,880 --> 00:58:59,640 Speaker 1: we have lulled ourselves, ourselves into a false sense of 974 00:58:59,640 --> 00:59:04,000 Speaker 1: economic security where the government can can effectively pay bills. 975 00:59:04,520 --> 00:59:07,280 Speaker 1: And the debt bomb that we are running, we're running 976 00:59:07,360 --> 00:59:10,640 Speaker 1: up a debt bomb at multiple levels. You know, we're 977 00:59:10,720 --> 00:59:12,840 Speaker 1: running up a debt bomb. At the national level. It's 978 00:59:12,840 --> 00:59:15,440 Speaker 1: the most prominent one, twenty five trillion and counting very 979 00:59:15,480 --> 00:59:18,280 Speaker 1: likely that we're going to be at thirty trillion in 980 00:59:18,360 --> 00:59:22,320 Speaker 1: just a few years here and maybe sooner. So we're 981 00:59:22,320 --> 00:59:27,000 Speaker 1: gonna be the thirty trillion dollars of debt soon, friends, soon. 982 00:59:28,040 --> 00:59:32,959 Speaker 1: That's absolutely mind blowing. And there are, of course consequences 983 00:59:32,960 --> 00:59:37,920 Speaker 1: of this, and we've been in an unprecedented era of 984 00:59:38,080 --> 00:59:42,760 Speaker 1: American financial dominance and prosperity, where we're still the global 985 00:59:42,760 --> 00:59:46,200 Speaker 1: reserve currency. Once any of these things starts to shift, though, 986 00:59:46,520 --> 00:59:49,840 Speaker 1: it's too late to change it back right And China, 987 00:59:49,920 --> 00:59:53,080 Speaker 1: I think, is sensing real weakness on our behalf. There's 988 00:59:53,120 --> 00:59:56,080 Speaker 1: a lot happening here in the background, a lot of 989 00:59:56,240 --> 01:00:00,400 Speaker 1: structural pressure going on for our entire economy that no 990 01:00:00,440 --> 01:00:02,040 Speaker 1: one's paying any attention to you right now, or at 991 01:00:02,120 --> 01:00:05,880 Speaker 1: least is not driving the political conversation. We're focused on 992 01:00:06,040 --> 01:00:08,080 Speaker 1: who's how quickly and who are we going to get 993 01:00:08,160 --> 01:00:10,480 Speaker 1: checks too? To keep the lights on at home? And 994 01:00:10,520 --> 01:00:14,280 Speaker 1: that's important, and I'm not saying it's not, but we 995 01:00:14,360 --> 01:00:16,240 Speaker 1: also need to look at the bigger picture of how 996 01:00:16,280 --> 01:00:19,560 Speaker 1: long do we really think this is sustainable? How much longer? 997 01:00:19,720 --> 01:00:23,440 Speaker 1: And what happens when all of a sudden we don't 998 01:00:23,480 --> 01:00:25,479 Speaker 1: have an expectation the governments is going to be writing 999 01:00:25,520 --> 01:00:28,280 Speaker 1: checks for everybody. And we go back to industries where 1000 01:00:28,880 --> 01:00:30,800 Speaker 1: you know, the restaurant industry in New York. I think 1001 01:00:30,840 --> 01:00:36,120 Speaker 1: over eighty percent of restaurants in New York and this 1002 01:00:36,160 --> 01:00:37,680 Speaker 1: is just one sector, but it's one that I know 1003 01:00:37,720 --> 01:00:43,040 Speaker 1: well from eating a lot of food. They didn't pay 1004 01:00:43,400 --> 01:00:47,120 Speaker 1: their full rent during the pandemic, and a pretty large 1005 01:00:47,120 --> 01:00:50,160 Speaker 1: percentage of paid almost no rent. Well, you might say, buck, 1006 01:00:50,200 --> 01:00:52,560 Speaker 1: the landlords can afford that, not all of them can. 1007 01:00:53,360 --> 01:00:55,720 Speaker 1: What happens to them? Then the banks are going to 1008 01:00:55,800 --> 01:00:59,760 Speaker 1: have properties that they're going to have to either lease 1009 01:00:59,840 --> 01:01:03,080 Speaker 1: or sell. How's that going to work? Right? How do 1010 01:01:03,120 --> 01:01:05,080 Speaker 1: you There's gonna be so much that we're gonna have 1011 01:01:05,080 --> 01:01:11,600 Speaker 1: to so much destruction of wealth and so much dislocation 1012 01:01:11,760 --> 01:01:16,200 Speaker 1: of assets. You're gonna have to purge all of this. 1013 01:01:16,480 --> 01:01:19,520 Speaker 1: It's gonna be a mess. A lot of people that 1014 01:01:19,560 --> 01:01:23,000 Speaker 1: haven't paid their rent in months and months, and the 1015 01:01:23,040 --> 01:01:27,400 Speaker 1: government I think is pretending, or at least the government 1016 01:01:27,400 --> 01:01:29,960 Speaker 1: perhaps can't is unwilling to face up to what it 1017 01:01:30,000 --> 01:01:34,880 Speaker 1: really means when they're paying such a large percentage of 1018 01:01:34,920 --> 01:01:38,600 Speaker 1: Americans bills. What happens when they stop? But this is 1019 01:01:38,640 --> 01:01:40,760 Speaker 1: a bit like the normal deck conversation we have, where 1020 01:01:40,800 --> 01:01:43,760 Speaker 1: nobody wants to be the one to say, hey, everybody, 1021 01:01:44,080 --> 01:01:46,880 Speaker 1: the party's got to stop now, before the party stops forever. 1022 01:01:48,800 --> 01:01:50,600 Speaker 1: No one is the one that wants to say that. 1023 01:01:51,120 --> 01:01:53,400 Speaker 1: Trump is at least weighing in to tell everybody. Look, 1024 01:01:53,480 --> 01:01:57,640 Speaker 1: he's he's trying to help quarterback from behind the scenes, 1025 01:01:58,080 --> 01:02:01,480 Speaker 1: getting this another round of economic rescue, stimulus, whatever you 1026 01:02:01,480 --> 01:02:04,720 Speaker 1: want to call it. Play fourteen. The fact that I'm 1027 01:02:04,760 --> 01:02:07,400 Speaker 1: not over there with crazy Nancy. No, I'm totally about 1028 01:02:08,760 --> 01:02:10,560 Speaker 1: and we're going to be doing some things that are 1029 01:02:10,680 --> 01:02:14,560 Speaker 1: very good because we don't think that she would. Look 1030 01:02:15,000 --> 01:02:19,000 Speaker 1: what Chuck Shermer wants more than anybody, and I would 1031 01:02:19,040 --> 01:02:22,120 Speaker 1: say Nancy Pelosi would be second. They want to bailout 1032 01:02:22,160 --> 01:02:24,360 Speaker 1: cities and states that have done a bad job over 1033 01:02:24,400 --> 01:02:27,360 Speaker 1: a long period of time, nothing to do with coronavirus 1034 01:02:27,520 --> 01:02:29,360 Speaker 1: or a China virus or whatever you want to call it. 1035 01:02:29,760 --> 01:02:32,800 Speaker 1: They want to bailout cities and say they want bailout money. 1036 01:02:32,880 --> 01:02:35,720 Speaker 1: They want a trillion dollars in bailout money, and a 1037 01:02:35,760 --> 01:02:37,920 Speaker 1: lot of people don't want to do that because we 1038 01:02:37,960 --> 01:02:40,760 Speaker 1: don't think it's right. The Democrats have run some very 1039 01:02:40,800 --> 01:02:43,760 Speaker 1: bad states and some very very bad cities, and a 1040 01:02:43,760 --> 01:02:45,600 Speaker 1: lot of people don't want to give them a trillion 1041 01:02:45,600 --> 01:02:49,560 Speaker 1: dollars to reward them for doing a bad job. A 1042 01:02:49,760 --> 01:02:54,160 Speaker 1: trillion dollars for state and local governments. A lot of 1043 01:02:54,200 --> 01:02:57,760 Speaker 1: that's supposed to go to Democrat run cities, and they're 1044 01:02:57,800 --> 01:03:00,479 Speaker 1: going to make all kinds of claims about what debts 1045 01:03:00,480 --> 01:03:02,200 Speaker 1: have they run up now? But were they really run 1046 01:03:02,280 --> 01:03:05,520 Speaker 1: up during the pandemic or were these structural issues from before. 1047 01:03:05,560 --> 01:03:09,200 Speaker 1: I just think about that. The Democrats want to use 1048 01:03:09,240 --> 01:03:14,840 Speaker 1: this as a massive federal taxpayer funded giveaway to states 1049 01:03:14,840 --> 01:03:19,320 Speaker 1: and cities that are Blue strongholds that have mismanaged their 1050 01:03:19,360 --> 01:03:22,800 Speaker 1: finances and are in some really dire economic straits and 1051 01:03:22,840 --> 01:03:25,600 Speaker 1: they're facing they're going to raise taxes anyway. I mean, 1052 01:03:25,600 --> 01:03:28,000 Speaker 1: the cities. Cities are gonna have a one two punch 1053 01:03:28,040 --> 01:03:31,160 Speaker 1: I think pretty soon where and this is true pretty 1054 01:03:31,240 --> 01:03:34,200 Speaker 1: much all major cities. I mean, and certainly any city 1055 01:03:34,280 --> 01:03:38,280 Speaker 1: over a quarter of a million people, you're gonna have 1056 01:03:38,640 --> 01:03:43,680 Speaker 1: a rush on taxes. Right. People are gonna start or 1057 01:03:43,760 --> 01:03:47,840 Speaker 1: people are gonna run away from taxes because the services 1058 01:03:47,880 --> 01:03:49,600 Speaker 1: are going to start to go down, crime is rising, 1059 01:03:49,600 --> 01:03:52,360 Speaker 1: people gonna want to leave cities, and meanwhile those cities 1060 01:03:52,400 --> 01:03:54,240 Speaker 1: are going to become more desperate and they're gonna say, ah, 1061 01:03:54,280 --> 01:03:58,040 Speaker 1: but wait, we want more of your tax dollars. That 1062 01:03:58,880 --> 01:04:01,360 Speaker 1: creates a death spiral for a city. People start to flee. 1063 01:04:01,520 --> 01:04:04,240 Speaker 1: I mean, that's the big worry in New York and 1064 01:04:04,320 --> 01:04:09,600 Speaker 1: the most the highest earners are also the most mobile economically. 1065 01:04:09,880 --> 01:04:11,760 Speaker 1: That's just the case in our economy. The people with 1066 01:04:11,800 --> 01:04:14,800 Speaker 1: the most money have the greatest option to leave and 1067 01:04:14,840 --> 01:04:17,240 Speaker 1: go wherever they want to leave, to leave a city, 1068 01:04:17,240 --> 01:04:21,640 Speaker 1: to leave a state entirely. And so that's what Democrats 1069 01:04:21,640 --> 01:04:25,880 Speaker 1: are trying to manage right now. They're trying to leverage 1070 01:04:26,400 --> 01:04:28,480 Speaker 1: the panic that the whole country is going through with 1071 01:04:28,560 --> 01:04:34,240 Speaker 1: this continuing wave of COVID nineteen and get enormous payoffs 1072 01:04:34,720 --> 01:04:37,200 Speaker 1: courtesy of the taxpayer for states and cities like New 1073 01:04:37,280 --> 01:04:39,880 Speaker 1: York and Los Angeles and others that are going to 1074 01:04:39,960 --> 01:04:42,800 Speaker 1: want enormous bailouts. That's what the fight is over. So 1075 01:04:42,840 --> 01:04:47,560 Speaker 1: what are democrats doing holding unemployment payments that people deserve 1076 01:04:47,640 --> 01:04:54,600 Speaker 1: and need, holding those hostage. That's what democrats do. You're 1077 01:04:54,680 --> 01:04:57,320 Speaker 1: in the Freedom Hud. This is the Buck Sex and 1078 01:04:57,400 --> 01:05:05,760 Speaker 1: Show podcast. Under my administration, African Americans were doing better 1079 01:05:05,800 --> 01:05:07,960 Speaker 1: than they've ever done in the history of this country. 1080 01:05:08,280 --> 01:05:10,400 Speaker 1: So I did a lot job numbers all of the 1081 01:05:10,520 --> 01:05:14,000 Speaker 1: money they had, money, they were getting great, their percentage 1082 01:05:14,080 --> 01:05:18,160 Speaker 1: was up there. Housing ownership, they did better than they've 1083 01:05:18,200 --> 01:05:21,760 Speaker 1: ever done. And now you know what we're doing. I'm 1084 01:05:21,760 --> 01:05:24,320 Speaker 1: building it up again. We're going to have it. Next 1085 01:05:24,400 --> 01:05:26,600 Speaker 1: year will be a great year, unless it's screwed up 1086 01:05:26,600 --> 01:05:29,280 Speaker 1: by somebody that doesn't know what he's doing, which could happen, 1087 01:05:29,720 --> 01:05:32,080 Speaker 1: but I don't think it will. He's saying, Joe Biden's 1088 01:05:32,080 --> 01:05:33,720 Speaker 1: not going to know how to get the economy up 1089 01:05:33,720 --> 01:05:37,160 Speaker 1: and running. I think that's definitely the case. What do democrats, 1090 01:05:37,200 --> 01:05:38,880 Speaker 1: What do democrats think is going to make us all 1091 01:05:39,040 --> 01:05:43,160 Speaker 1: wealthier and better off? More government spending. Just just have 1092 01:05:43,240 --> 01:05:49,400 Speaker 1: the government spend more money, tax people more, and spend 1093 01:05:49,440 --> 01:05:52,200 Speaker 1: more money. That's going to somehow make your life better. 1094 01:05:52,240 --> 01:05:55,120 Speaker 1: It's not going to work, but they will never change 1095 01:05:55,120 --> 01:05:57,160 Speaker 1: on this one because spending is also a form of 1096 01:05:57,200 --> 01:06:00,720 Speaker 1: power and control and social engineering, and they know that. 1097 01:06:01,280 --> 01:06:03,040 Speaker 1: So that's going to be the plan. That's what they're 1098 01:06:03,040 --> 01:06:09,280 Speaker 1: gonna do. That's why they're so uh, they're so invested. 1099 01:06:10,240 --> 01:06:13,440 Speaker 1: They're so invested in these massively expensive programs like the 1100 01:06:13,440 --> 01:06:17,680 Speaker 1: Green New Deal because this appeals ideologically, appeals to them. Oh, 1101 01:06:17,760 --> 01:06:19,840 Speaker 1: the idea that we could spend trillions of dollars the 1102 01:06:19,880 --> 01:06:22,240 Speaker 1: government in charge of all this. It's like these people 1103 01:06:22,280 --> 01:06:24,520 Speaker 1: have never interacted with anyone who works for the government. 1104 01:06:25,320 --> 01:06:29,160 Speaker 1: The government overwhelmingly doesn't care, is inefficient, is bloated, and 1105 01:06:29,200 --> 01:06:31,800 Speaker 1: as bad at what it does because there are no 1106 01:06:31,960 --> 01:06:35,320 Speaker 1: price controls, there are no incentives really in government, and 1107 01:06:35,400 --> 01:06:38,680 Speaker 1: the only accountability you get is from public perceptions. There's 1108 01:06:38,680 --> 01:06:41,120 Speaker 1: no marketing mechanism. Really, it's just what do people think 1109 01:06:41,320 --> 01:06:43,600 Speaker 1: is a government doing a good job. Well, it's what 1110 01:06:43,600 --> 01:06:45,400 Speaker 1: we got, we need it, we got to deal with it. 1111 01:06:46,840 --> 01:06:50,800 Speaker 1: And this is why, yet another reason why I'm so 1112 01:06:50,880 --> 01:06:53,520 Speaker 1: concerned about what happens the future of this country if 1113 01:06:53,560 --> 01:06:57,560 Speaker 1: the Democrats do in fact, when how are they gonna win? Well, 1114 01:06:57,560 --> 01:07:00,760 Speaker 1: we know that vote by mail is a very big 1115 01:07:00,760 --> 01:07:04,040 Speaker 1: part of this. Here's what Chuck Schumer has to say 1116 01:07:04,240 --> 01:07:07,640 Speaker 1: about what we're seeing in their place. Six. We Democrats 1117 01:07:08,080 --> 01:07:11,320 Speaker 1: believe strongly that we have to have free and fair elections, 1118 01:07:11,440 --> 01:07:13,800 Speaker 1: that the mail must be delivered in a timely way 1119 01:07:13,840 --> 01:07:16,120 Speaker 1: because so many more people are going to vote by mail, 1120 01:07:16,840 --> 01:07:19,640 Speaker 1: so many more polling places need to be set up 1121 01:07:20,040 --> 01:07:22,919 Speaker 1: because of Covidge can't be close together. There's a long 1122 01:07:23,080 --> 01:07:26,320 Speaker 1: list of things that are needed. And the good news 1123 01:07:26,440 --> 01:07:28,760 Speaker 1: is our Republican colleagues agree with a few of them. 1124 01:07:28,800 --> 01:07:32,360 Speaker 1: But some they don't agree with and we are discussing 1125 01:07:32,400 --> 01:07:35,040 Speaker 1: why we think they need them, and they'll counter with 1126 01:07:35,160 --> 01:07:42,000 Speaker 1: us in the room. Minuchin and the Meadows yep. Vote 1127 01:07:42,040 --> 01:07:46,160 Speaker 1: by mail. They can get vote by mail. They think 1128 01:07:47,200 --> 01:07:51,040 Speaker 1: they can win. They don't care how much cheating there is, 1129 01:07:51,120 --> 01:07:52,840 Speaker 1: as long as they win. And if they don't win, 1130 01:07:52,880 --> 01:07:55,160 Speaker 1: they'll claim there was cheating because of vote by mail. 1131 01:07:55,200 --> 01:08:00,040 Speaker 1: It's perfect, folks. It's perfect now. All that works, isn't it? 1132 01:08:00,920 --> 01:08:02,640 Speaker 1: Another thing? I want to throw this in the mix. 1133 01:08:02,680 --> 01:08:05,960 Speaker 1: A note on TikTok. Yesterday I talked to you about 1134 01:08:06,000 --> 01:08:10,040 Speaker 1: about TikTok and the presidents saying it has to be 1135 01:08:10,120 --> 01:08:13,160 Speaker 1: sold by September fifteenth. This is the Chinese social media app. 1136 01:08:13,200 --> 01:08:16,000 Speaker 1: Has eight hundred million users worldwide. I believe a hundred 1137 01:08:16,000 --> 01:08:18,519 Speaker 1: million users in the US. It's considered the fastest growing 1138 01:08:18,560 --> 01:08:20,880 Speaker 1: social media app of all time. It's supposed to be 1139 01:08:20,960 --> 01:08:24,040 Speaker 1: worth one hundred billion dollars. It is highly addictive if 1140 01:08:24,040 --> 01:08:25,519 Speaker 1: you start to use it. I can tell you that 1141 01:08:26,040 --> 01:08:29,000 Speaker 1: I just watch people cooking and basting stakes all day. 1142 01:08:31,560 --> 01:08:34,439 Speaker 1: Is it really an espionage threat? Because people have been 1143 01:08:34,479 --> 01:08:37,200 Speaker 1: asking me this, is it really an espionage threat? And 1144 01:08:37,360 --> 01:08:42,000 Speaker 1: I say maybe how is it a national security threat? 1145 01:08:42,040 --> 01:08:44,240 Speaker 1: I view this is as there are there are two levels. 1146 01:08:44,280 --> 01:08:47,080 Speaker 1: There are two levels on this one. Oh, when the 1147 01:08:47,120 --> 01:08:49,719 Speaker 1: President waited on this during his actually his interview play fifteen, 1148 01:08:50,120 --> 01:08:54,479 Speaker 1: we had a great conversation called me to see whether 1149 01:08:54,600 --> 01:08:59,760 Speaker 1: or not how I felt about it, and I said, look, 1150 01:09:00,160 --> 01:09:06,040 Speaker 1: be controlled for security reasons by China, too big, too invasive, 1151 01:09:06,240 --> 01:09:10,519 Speaker 1: and it can't be. And here's the deal. I don't 1152 01:09:10,560 --> 01:09:14,040 Speaker 1: mind if whether it's Microsoft or somebody else, a big company, 1153 01:09:14,160 --> 01:09:18,360 Speaker 1: a secure company, very very American company, buy it. It's 1154 01:09:18,400 --> 01:09:20,479 Speaker 1: probably easier to buy the whole thing than to buy 1155 01:09:20,560 --> 01:09:22,439 Speaker 1: thirty percent of it, because they say, how do you 1156 01:09:22,479 --> 01:09:24,400 Speaker 1: do thirty percent? Who's going to get the name? The 1157 01:09:24,520 --> 01:09:27,920 Speaker 1: name is hot, the brand is hot, and who's going 1158 01:09:27,960 --> 01:09:29,160 Speaker 1: to get the name? How do you do that? Of 1159 01:09:29,240 --> 01:09:33,000 Speaker 1: its own by two different companies. So my personal opinion 1160 01:09:33,160 --> 01:09:36,400 Speaker 1: was probably better off buying the whole thing rather than 1161 01:09:36,400 --> 01:09:39,559 Speaker 1: buying thirty percent of it. I think buying thirty percent 1162 01:09:39,680 --> 01:09:45,000 Speaker 1: is complicated, and I suggested that he can go ahead, 1163 01:09:45,120 --> 01:09:47,320 Speaker 1: he can try. We said a date. I said, a 1164 01:09:47,439 --> 01:09:50,519 Speaker 1: date of around September fifteenth, at which point it's going 1165 01:09:50,560 --> 01:09:53,000 Speaker 1: to be out of business in the United States. But 1166 01:09:53,160 --> 01:09:57,960 Speaker 1: if somebody, and whether it's Microsoft or somebody else, buys it, 1167 01:09:58,400 --> 01:10:01,400 Speaker 1: that'll be in custom. So what we have here, and 1168 01:10:01,439 --> 01:10:03,920 Speaker 1: this is a short a short version of what could be. 1169 01:10:03,960 --> 01:10:07,439 Speaker 1: I suppose a much longer conversation. What we have is TikTok, 1170 01:10:07,680 --> 01:10:11,719 Speaker 1: which is owned by byte Dance, which is a Chinese 1171 01:10:11,720 --> 01:10:14,320 Speaker 1: company and therefore has ties to the Chinese Communist Party. 1172 01:10:14,880 --> 01:10:17,000 Speaker 1: Is it an espionage threat? Maybe not the same way 1173 01:10:17,040 --> 01:10:20,639 Speaker 1: that Huawei, which has already been banned, would be, where 1174 01:10:20,439 --> 01:10:22,680 Speaker 1: there are concerns that they can intentionally leave open a 1175 01:10:22,760 --> 01:10:27,479 Speaker 1: backdoor and their software or in their hardware. The bigger 1176 01:10:27,520 --> 01:10:31,920 Speaker 1: issues influence operations, and that's much more pernicious because it's 1177 01:10:32,000 --> 01:10:34,800 Speaker 1: much harder to find to pinpoint that and find out. 1178 01:10:35,160 --> 01:10:39,320 Speaker 1: And we've seen what a little bit of Facebook add 1179 01:10:39,400 --> 01:10:41,880 Speaker 1: by from some Russian hackers does the US political discourse. 1180 01:10:41,880 --> 01:10:46,759 Speaker 1: Can you imagine with TikTok, the minor, the minor changes 1181 01:10:46,800 --> 01:10:48,880 Speaker 1: that they could make to their algorithms, the ways that 1182 01:10:48,920 --> 01:10:51,639 Speaker 1: they could try to influence the political conversation in this country. 1183 01:10:51,720 --> 01:10:54,040 Speaker 1: That's part of it. And then also China bans the 1184 01:10:54,120 --> 01:10:57,640 Speaker 1: US from having Facebook and Google and these mega companies. 1185 01:10:57,880 --> 01:10:59,600 Speaker 1: It gives it won't give access to the to the 1186 01:10:59,680 --> 01:11:03,240 Speaker 1: Chinese market, So why shouldn't we respond in kind? That's 1187 01:11:03,240 --> 01:11:05,760 Speaker 1: a question I don't see asked nearly enough. This is 1188 01:11:05,760 --> 01:11:08,320 Speaker 1: really as much an economic war as it as anything else. 1189 01:11:09,320 --> 01:11:13,439 Speaker 1: And perhaps now there's a greater understanding, thanks to President Trump, 1190 01:11:13,479 --> 01:11:17,800 Speaker 1: about this as a new digital cold war, that we 1191 01:11:17,880 --> 01:11:21,040 Speaker 1: are in an online cold war, if you will, against 1192 01:11:21,080 --> 01:11:24,280 Speaker 1: the Chinese Communist Party, and TikTok is caught up in 1193 01:11:24,280 --> 01:11:26,720 Speaker 1: the middle of that. I hope Microsoft buys it though, 1194 01:11:26,760 --> 01:11:30,559 Speaker 1: because I like watching those Steake videos. Thanks for listening 1195 01:11:30,560 --> 01:11:34,000 Speaker 1: to the buses and show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on 1196 01:11:34,080 --> 01:11:38,320 Speaker 1: Apple podcast, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. 1197 01:11:39,280 --> 01:11:41,360 Speaker 1: So what's really going on with the schools, folks? I 1198 01:11:41,439 --> 01:11:44,280 Speaker 1: know a lot of you want to know, and it 1199 01:11:44,479 --> 01:11:47,760 Speaker 1: is a local issue, it's a national issue, and it's 1200 01:11:47,760 --> 01:11:51,920 Speaker 1: a hugely political one. To walk us through what's really 1201 01:11:51,960 --> 01:11:54,680 Speaker 1: happening with whether schools will be open or not and 1202 01:11:54,720 --> 01:11:58,519 Speaker 1: what's going on behind the scenes. We have Inez Felcher 1203 01:11:58,520 --> 01:12:01,080 Speaker 1: with us now. She is a policy analyst at the 1204 01:12:01,120 --> 01:12:04,439 Speaker 1: Independent Woman's Forum, and there's a lot about education and 1205 01:12:04,560 --> 01:12:07,240 Speaker 1: stuff in it. It's great to have you back. It's 1206 01:12:07,280 --> 01:12:10,000 Speaker 1: great to be here. But okay, let's start with this one. 1207 01:12:10,600 --> 01:12:13,200 Speaker 1: I'm seeing some stuff about Montgomery County, which is right 1208 01:12:13,240 --> 01:12:15,000 Speaker 1: outside of DC, so it gets a lot of attention 1209 01:12:15,040 --> 01:12:18,679 Speaker 1: to the national media where private schools are now being 1210 01:12:18,720 --> 01:12:21,080 Speaker 1: told that they can't. So it was up to public 1211 01:12:21,160 --> 01:12:23,479 Speaker 1: schools to determine that they could open, but not private 1212 01:12:23,479 --> 01:12:26,439 Speaker 1: schools also were being told that they couldn't. Or what happened? 1213 01:12:26,479 --> 01:12:29,720 Speaker 1: What's going on? Yeah, it's it's kind of a long saga, 1214 01:12:29,800 --> 01:12:33,520 Speaker 1: but I think it's an illustrative one about how politicized 1215 01:12:33,520 --> 01:12:38,679 Speaker 1: and ridiculous this conversation has gotten. Right, So, the Maryland 1216 01:12:38,680 --> 01:12:41,960 Speaker 1: public schools are doing localized decisions as to whether or 1217 01:12:41,960 --> 01:12:45,360 Speaker 1: not they open. Teachers unions are lobbying to make sure 1218 01:12:45,400 --> 01:12:48,160 Speaker 1: that not only the public schools don't open, but they 1219 01:12:48,200 --> 01:12:52,240 Speaker 1: don't want to lose what they see as market share 1220 01:12:52,560 --> 01:12:55,680 Speaker 1: of parents that they seem to feel completely entitled to. 1221 01:12:56,080 --> 01:12:58,280 Speaker 1: And so what's happening is they're trying to close down 1222 01:12:58,280 --> 01:13:02,400 Speaker 1: avenues that parents are looking at to actually avoid the 1223 01:13:02,520 --> 01:13:05,640 Speaker 1: disaster of distance learning the most of them experience in 1224 01:13:05,640 --> 01:13:09,320 Speaker 1: this spring. So one option, of course, is to look 1225 01:13:09,360 --> 01:13:12,760 Speaker 1: at private schools which were reopening. Unlike public schools, they 1226 01:13:12,760 --> 01:13:15,160 Speaker 1: don't have a guaranteed source of income. Just like any 1227 01:13:15,200 --> 01:13:18,840 Speaker 1: other business, they rely on being open to be able 1228 01:13:18,880 --> 01:13:21,120 Speaker 1: to keep the lights on so and pay their employees. 1229 01:13:21,160 --> 01:13:23,240 Speaker 1: So a lot of private schools are looking to open. 1230 01:13:23,880 --> 01:13:26,160 Speaker 1: They are taking a lot of precautions and doing so. 1231 01:13:26,439 --> 01:13:30,080 Speaker 1: This is not a sort of lase reopening. But nevertheless, 1232 01:13:30,080 --> 01:13:32,559 Speaker 1: a lot of private schools are opening when public schools aren't, 1233 01:13:32,960 --> 01:13:36,200 Speaker 1: and so it's created this this lobby effort on behalf 1234 01:13:36,200 --> 01:13:40,000 Speaker 1: of teachers unions to close down all options like learning pods, 1235 01:13:40,160 --> 01:13:44,120 Speaker 1: like private schools. Unfortunately, the governor just issued about a 1236 01:13:44,200 --> 01:13:48,479 Speaker 1: day ago, the governor just issued order that nicipalities would 1237 01:13:48,560 --> 01:13:52,639 Speaker 1: not be given the power to arbitrarily close a private schools. 1238 01:13:52,720 --> 01:13:55,920 Speaker 1: So the governor stepped in and prevented that situation in 1239 01:13:56,000 --> 01:13:59,160 Speaker 1: Montgomery County. But the same thing is happening all across America, right, 1240 01:13:59,160 --> 01:14:00,759 Speaker 1: So this is what I want to ask. It sounds 1241 01:14:00,840 --> 01:14:06,160 Speaker 1: like public school teachers unions are trying to get this 1242 01:14:06,240 --> 01:14:08,880 Speaker 1: to a place where if they can't have your kids 1243 01:14:08,880 --> 01:14:12,840 Speaker 1: to teach, nobody can. That seems to be the policy design. 1244 01:14:13,120 --> 01:14:17,679 Speaker 1: That's exactly what's happening. And I think parents are getting 1245 01:14:17,720 --> 01:14:21,080 Speaker 1: really frustrated because it is not a negotiation in good faith. 1246 01:14:21,120 --> 01:14:24,719 Speaker 1: So every poll shows that families and parents are worried 1247 01:14:24,760 --> 01:14:28,519 Speaker 1: about staff safety, for example, in a reopening, but they 1248 01:14:28,640 --> 01:14:31,879 Speaker 1: know what teachers and at least some teachers, and certainly 1249 01:14:31,880 --> 01:14:34,720 Speaker 1: the unions and the districts refuse to acknowledge that the 1250 01:14:35,120 --> 01:14:38,439 Speaker 1: last few months of distance learning prior to the summer 1251 01:14:38,479 --> 01:14:41,599 Speaker 1: break was a total disaster for a lot of families 1252 01:14:42,000 --> 01:14:44,120 Speaker 1: and a lot of students. And so that's just not 1253 01:14:44,200 --> 01:14:46,720 Speaker 1: an option. It doesn't seem like a feasible option to 1254 01:14:46,760 --> 01:14:49,160 Speaker 1: a lot of families. But instead of negotiating good in 1255 01:14:49,240 --> 01:14:53,200 Speaker 1: good faith about how to reopen during a pandemic, we 1256 01:14:53,280 --> 01:14:57,960 Speaker 1: find teachers unions making absolutely crazy demands, not just related 1257 01:14:58,000 --> 01:15:01,760 Speaker 1: to health and safety, but related to politics. Right, So 1258 01:15:01,800 --> 01:15:05,599 Speaker 1: they've demanded that charter schools be closed, that private schools 1259 01:15:05,680 --> 01:15:09,240 Speaker 1: be closed. They've demanded that the police be defunded. Right. 1260 01:15:09,320 --> 01:15:12,040 Speaker 1: These are things that have absolutely nothing to do with 1261 01:15:12,080 --> 01:15:14,200 Speaker 1: whether or not it's safe to open public schools in 1262 01:15:14,280 --> 01:15:17,479 Speaker 1: a pandemic. And I think it's really frustrating a lot 1263 01:15:17,520 --> 01:15:20,280 Speaker 1: of parents who might otherwise have wanted to work with 1264 01:15:20,320 --> 01:15:22,439 Speaker 1: the unions and with teachers in good faith, and I 1265 01:15:22,439 --> 01:15:24,479 Speaker 1: think we're going to see an earthquake. I think this 1266 01:15:24,560 --> 01:15:27,559 Speaker 1: is really going to shake up American education for decades 1267 01:15:27,600 --> 01:15:29,760 Speaker 1: to come, because the parents are not going to take 1268 01:15:29,760 --> 01:15:31,800 Speaker 1: this lying down, and they aren't taking it lying down. 1269 01:15:32,040 --> 01:15:35,000 Speaker 1: What are your expectations for how parents and a lot 1270 01:15:35,040 --> 01:15:38,400 Speaker 1: of parents listening to this right now who are trying 1271 01:15:38,400 --> 01:15:40,840 Speaker 1: to figure out how they will adapt. You know, what 1272 01:15:41,000 --> 01:15:44,519 Speaker 1: are the changes that you see coming to the approach 1273 01:15:44,560 --> 01:15:48,200 Speaker 1: that American parents across the country will take about education 1274 01:15:48,240 --> 01:15:51,160 Speaker 1: and also their views on how they should have their 1275 01:15:51,240 --> 01:15:54,120 Speaker 1: kids educated going forward. I think we're seeing the collision 1276 01:15:54,280 --> 01:15:58,080 Speaker 1: of two separate sort of lines of thought here. One is, 1277 01:15:58,439 --> 01:16:00,880 Speaker 1: as I said, the total failure of distance learning. So 1278 01:16:00,920 --> 01:16:03,120 Speaker 1: a lot of families are looking to form what was 1279 01:16:03,240 --> 01:16:07,160 Speaker 1: being called pandemic pods. But prior to this was called 1280 01:16:07,240 --> 01:16:10,400 Speaker 1: micro schooling, where you have a few families, let's say, 1281 01:16:10,439 --> 01:16:14,160 Speaker 1: you know, anywhere from five, ten, fifteen students binding together 1282 01:16:14,360 --> 01:16:17,439 Speaker 1: to then hire a teacher or a tutor and have 1283 01:16:17,560 --> 01:16:20,800 Speaker 1: those classroom settings just be smaller and more localized. In 1284 01:16:20,840 --> 01:16:24,599 Speaker 1: a lot of times, in the COVID situation, these families 1285 01:16:24,600 --> 01:16:27,639 Speaker 1: are agreeing to try to limit their social interaction to 1286 01:16:27,680 --> 01:16:30,080 Speaker 1: each other. So they're essentially trying to expand their households 1287 01:16:30,120 --> 01:16:33,840 Speaker 1: out And this is something that actually isn't it's new 1288 01:16:33,880 --> 01:16:35,920 Speaker 1: for this context, but it's not new. It's been going 1289 01:16:36,000 --> 01:16:38,960 Speaker 1: on in Florida for quite some time because Florida has 1290 01:16:39,000 --> 01:16:42,839 Speaker 1: something called education savings accounts where some parents can actually 1291 01:16:42,840 --> 01:16:45,559 Speaker 1: take a portion of the funds that are spent on 1292 01:16:45,720 --> 01:16:49,320 Speaker 1: their child for their education and do exactly that with it. 1293 01:16:49,360 --> 01:16:51,400 Speaker 1: So we have micro schools in Florida that are just 1294 01:16:51,479 --> 01:16:55,240 Speaker 1: a few families deciding they have they have similar sort 1295 01:16:55,240 --> 01:16:57,240 Speaker 1: of visions for what they want their kids to learn, 1296 01:16:57,680 --> 01:17:00,519 Speaker 1: and then they're combining those scholarships that they're given by 1297 01:17:00,520 --> 01:17:04,000 Speaker 1: the state, those flexible account clip they're given by the state, 1298 01:17:04,080 --> 01:17:06,240 Speaker 1: and then they're hiring the staff almost as if they 1299 01:17:06,280 --> 01:17:08,680 Speaker 1: were a small school, although they are not regulated as 1300 01:17:08,680 --> 01:17:10,840 Speaker 1: a school. They're not like a pub open to the 1301 01:17:10,880 --> 01:17:13,880 Speaker 1: public school. There's sort of a little tiny pod and 1302 01:17:13,920 --> 01:17:15,639 Speaker 1: I think they kind that can become a really good 1303 01:17:15,680 --> 01:17:19,920 Speaker 1: model for a lot of families now, but it'll be 1304 01:17:20,000 --> 01:17:23,280 Speaker 1: open to more families. We saw, you know, the Washington Post, 1305 01:17:23,320 --> 01:17:25,559 Speaker 1: New York Times, right end teachers unions. Of course, I'll 1306 01:17:25,600 --> 01:17:28,960 Speaker 1: pile on this idea, saying it's it's terrible for quote equity, right, 1307 01:17:28,960 --> 01:17:32,800 Speaker 1: because not everybody can afford to do this. Well, first 1308 01:17:32,840 --> 01:17:34,880 Speaker 1: of all, there are families of limited means who have 1309 01:17:34,920 --> 01:17:37,200 Speaker 1: been doing this on their own for years, so tell 1310 01:17:37,240 --> 01:17:40,000 Speaker 1: them that. But but it's true that it would be 1311 01:17:40,040 --> 01:17:44,400 Speaker 1: more equitable if we actually passed universal education savings accounts 1312 01:17:44,439 --> 01:17:48,280 Speaker 1: and allowed kids to every kid to have that dollar 1313 01:17:48,360 --> 01:17:51,280 Speaker 1: amount attached to his name actually go to the family 1314 01:17:51,920 --> 01:17:54,439 Speaker 1: to address this challenging time, rather than to go straight 1315 01:17:54,800 --> 01:17:58,120 Speaker 1: to a district school. Their teachers unions feel entitled to 1316 01:17:58,240 --> 01:18:02,439 Speaker 1: their money, but don't feel obligated to actually provide an education. 1317 01:18:02,600 --> 01:18:04,880 Speaker 1: That's what we're seeing right now, and I think parents 1318 01:18:04,920 --> 01:18:06,680 Speaker 1: are fed up and right to be, and just on 1319 01:18:06,960 --> 01:18:11,639 Speaker 1: the point about the failures of distance learning, virtual teaching, 1320 01:18:11,720 --> 01:18:14,599 Speaker 1: whatever it is that we're calling it now. I've even 1321 01:18:14,680 --> 01:18:18,120 Speaker 1: heard a lot of Democrats just in passing to like, well, yeah, 1322 01:18:18,120 --> 01:18:21,360 Speaker 1: it was kind of a debacle. Why how what were 1323 01:18:21,360 --> 01:18:24,000 Speaker 1: the failures? Like, well, first of all, you know, there 1324 01:18:24,000 --> 01:18:28,360 Speaker 1: are some inherent limitations. Obviously for young kids learning from 1325 01:18:28,439 --> 01:18:30,920 Speaker 1: zoom or learning on a computer with a lot of 1326 01:18:30,960 --> 01:18:34,559 Speaker 1: screen time is not the ideal situation. But there are 1327 01:18:34,800 --> 01:18:37,479 Speaker 1: virtual charter schools who have that have perfected this over 1328 01:18:37,520 --> 01:18:40,679 Speaker 1: a decade or more and have learned how to deliver 1329 01:18:41,640 --> 01:18:45,000 Speaker 1: education online. But that's that's not what this was, right, 1330 01:18:45,120 --> 01:18:49,439 Speaker 1: um So for starters only the minority of schools we're 1331 01:18:49,439 --> 01:18:53,880 Speaker 1: actually offering um live instruction online. The rest of them 1332 01:18:53,920 --> 01:18:57,760 Speaker 1: had some combination of worksheets or like digital platform check ins, 1333 01:18:57,880 --> 01:19:01,920 Speaker 1: often like multiplying platforms, which is really frustrating for families. 1334 01:19:03,120 --> 01:19:06,760 Speaker 1: And then we saw some complete abandonment of the instruction 1335 01:19:07,040 --> 01:19:11,559 Speaker 1: purpose of schooling. Uh So, for example, in Chicago, almost 1336 01:19:11,600 --> 01:19:14,680 Speaker 1: half of the teachers didn't even log on to the 1337 01:19:14,800 --> 01:19:19,040 Speaker 1: learning platform at least three times a week for the 1338 01:19:19,080 --> 01:19:22,640 Speaker 1: in duration of distance learning, meaning those kids just essentially 1339 01:19:22,800 --> 01:19:26,360 Speaker 1: went without instruction, they went without education, They just basically 1340 01:19:26,400 --> 01:19:30,240 Speaker 1: gave up on actually delivering education. And that's the experience 1341 01:19:30,240 --> 01:19:34,560 Speaker 1: that families had in the spring, which is why continuing 1342 01:19:34,600 --> 01:19:38,160 Speaker 1: that distance learning or that force of distance learning seems 1343 01:19:38,200 --> 01:19:42,080 Speaker 1: like such an impossible ask for many families, especially um 1344 01:19:42,200 --> 01:19:45,439 Speaker 1: you know, single moms who have to work. There is 1345 01:19:45,479 --> 01:19:49,880 Speaker 1: a real crunch time, real life you know consequence to 1346 01:19:50,080 --> 01:19:53,280 Speaker 1: this that the unions are just not recognizing and they're 1347 01:19:53,280 --> 01:19:56,839 Speaker 1: just calling everybody who brings it up as a concern. 1348 01:19:56,880 --> 01:19:58,600 Speaker 1: They're saying, oh, you want people to die, you know 1349 01:19:58,720 --> 01:20:00,880 Speaker 1: you want like they threw up bunch of body bags 1350 01:20:00,880 --> 01:20:03,760 Speaker 1: in front of the district office in DC as part 1351 01:20:03,760 --> 01:20:07,479 Speaker 1: of the protest, and indeed, DC the district went from 1352 01:20:07,520 --> 01:20:10,959 Speaker 1: a partial reopen several times a week to fully online 1353 01:20:11,400 --> 01:20:14,519 Speaker 1: this fall because of the protests of teachers unions. But 1354 01:20:14,640 --> 01:20:17,519 Speaker 1: I think they're overplaying their hands in his felt everybody 1355 01:20:17,520 --> 01:20:19,640 Speaker 1: the Independent Woman's Forum. It is always great to have 1356 01:20:19,640 --> 01:20:21,639 Speaker 1: you all talk soon. It's great to be here about 1357 01:20:21,680 --> 01:20:26,800 Speaker 1: things you're in the Freedom und This is the Buck 1358 01:20:26,880 --> 01:20:34,639 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast and back by popular demand, the one 1359 01:20:34,680 --> 01:20:39,479 Speaker 1: and only are our favorite intellectual anarchist, the man himself, 1360 01:20:39,520 --> 01:20:42,400 Speaker 1: Michael Malice is in the mix. He is the host 1361 01:20:42,479 --> 01:20:45,799 Speaker 1: of You're Welcome with Michael Malice, also author of books 1362 01:20:45,840 --> 01:20:49,959 Speaker 1: including The New Right and Dear Reader, and unauthorized biography 1363 01:20:50,000 --> 01:20:53,120 Speaker 1: of Kim jong Ill. What's up, my man? How you doing? 1364 01:20:53,680 --> 01:20:57,320 Speaker 1: I am doing great here reading from Brooklyn. Nice man. 1365 01:20:57,680 --> 01:21:00,200 Speaker 1: So what's happening in America right now? Mal So I 1366 01:21:00,200 --> 01:21:02,040 Speaker 1: just want to I want to just just toss the ball. 1367 01:21:02,040 --> 01:21:04,960 Speaker 1: Do you tell us what's going on? I think we're 1368 01:21:05,040 --> 01:21:11,639 Speaker 1: seeing the increasing cold war between the right broadly speaking, 1369 01:21:11,920 --> 01:21:14,599 Speaker 1: or even just the left and the anti left. And 1370 01:21:14,720 --> 01:21:17,200 Speaker 1: I think a lot of organizations that have been in 1371 01:21:17,240 --> 01:21:20,920 Speaker 1: power for a very long time are doubling down on 1372 01:21:21,040 --> 01:21:24,240 Speaker 1: their attempts to stay in this power, which they perceived 1373 01:21:24,280 --> 01:21:27,120 Speaker 1: to be not entirely in correctly a function of the 1374 01:21:27,200 --> 01:21:31,639 Speaker 1: upcoming presidential election. So you view this, then, I would 1375 01:21:31,680 --> 01:21:36,040 Speaker 1: guess as only likely to get worse and intensify, which 1376 01:21:36,040 --> 01:21:40,519 Speaker 1: I suppose is the expectation that we all have. But 1377 01:21:40,920 --> 01:21:45,479 Speaker 1: are you surprised at all at the hypocrisy and the 1378 01:21:45,560 --> 01:21:50,559 Speaker 1: ferocity of the way the left has embraced this, whether 1379 01:21:50,600 --> 01:21:52,960 Speaker 1: it's the BLM movement, anti for all these things together 1380 01:21:53,320 --> 01:21:56,599 Speaker 1: while putting forward Joe Biden as their candidate makes sense 1381 01:21:56,600 --> 01:21:59,280 Speaker 1: of that for us, I don't think it's hypercritical at all. 1382 01:21:59,400 --> 01:22:03,640 Speaker 1: I think how it works and progressivism for over a 1383 01:22:03,720 --> 01:22:06,519 Speaker 1: century has been based on the concept and they would 1384 01:22:06,560 --> 01:22:11,000 Speaker 1: call it scientific envisioning a conclusion and then you know, 1385 01:22:11,120 --> 01:22:13,920 Speaker 1: messing around with the inputs to force the output that 1386 01:22:13,960 --> 01:22:17,840 Speaker 1: you find desirable, whether it's through bureaucrats or whether it's 1387 01:22:17,840 --> 01:22:21,639 Speaker 1: through ideal logs. So you know, for them to take 1388 01:22:21,720 --> 01:22:25,320 Speaker 1: any organization or movement and bring it under their rubric 1389 01:22:26,439 --> 01:22:29,560 Speaker 1: is par for the course. I mean, the progressivism got it. 1390 01:22:29,640 --> 01:22:32,200 Speaker 1: You got to start in the eighteen nineties by being 1391 01:22:32,439 --> 01:22:35,760 Speaker 1: variently homophobic. They were thriving gay cultures in New York 1392 01:22:35,760 --> 01:22:38,200 Speaker 1: seeding other places. But they won't talk about that. Now 1393 01:22:38,320 --> 01:22:41,439 Speaker 1: now you know, they love gay rights. So any weapon 1394 01:22:41,520 --> 01:22:43,840 Speaker 1: that they will have at their disposal they will use 1395 01:22:44,040 --> 01:22:48,920 Speaker 1: to further and maintain their control of cultural dominance. But 1396 01:22:49,680 --> 01:22:52,559 Speaker 1: I think things are and yeah, here's a great example. 1397 01:22:53,240 --> 01:22:55,080 Speaker 1: I think things are going badly for them. The New 1398 01:22:55,160 --> 01:23:00,080 Speaker 1: York Times is engaged in a very public assault in 1399 01:23:00,160 --> 01:23:02,759 Speaker 1: our history and trying to redefine America with the sixteen 1400 01:23:02,800 --> 01:23:06,240 Speaker 1: nineteen project as a function of slavery. And if you 1401 01:23:06,360 --> 01:23:10,439 Speaker 1: define America as foundationally based on slavery, then a lot 1402 01:23:10,520 --> 01:23:13,760 Speaker 1: of other things follow suit and dominoes logically speaking. And 1403 01:23:13,840 --> 01:23:15,880 Speaker 1: now they've had to push back the woman who runs it, 1404 01:23:16,160 --> 01:23:18,840 Speaker 1: Idah Wells. She said, Oh, we're not saying this is 1405 01:23:18,920 --> 01:23:22,439 Speaker 1: the history. We're just saying this is a history. You 1406 01:23:22,439 --> 01:23:25,559 Speaker 1: wouldn't be having to make that clarification publicly if people, 1407 01:23:25,640 --> 01:23:29,360 Speaker 1: including many leftist historians, weren't calling you out on your nonsense. 1408 01:23:29,680 --> 01:23:32,840 Speaker 1: So I think they're overplaying their hand. And I think, 1409 01:23:33,040 --> 01:23:35,840 Speaker 1: just like any jihadis, they're going for the moderates first, 1410 01:23:36,160 --> 01:23:39,919 Speaker 1: but they don't have the capacity, thank god, to actually 1411 01:23:39,960 --> 01:23:43,280 Speaker 1: execute people. So that is going to drive people in 1412 01:23:43,360 --> 01:23:46,400 Speaker 1: opposition to them, if not necessarily toward Trump, who is 1413 01:23:46,439 --> 01:23:49,880 Speaker 1: almost secondary in this longer battle. What do you make 1414 01:23:50,000 --> 01:23:53,920 Speaker 1: of the calm with which I think a lot of people. 1415 01:23:53,960 --> 01:23:56,400 Speaker 1: I mean, now we're speaking about hundreds of millions of people, 1416 01:23:56,439 --> 01:24:00,720 Speaker 1: but the way that rights have been hipped away at 1417 01:24:00,800 --> 01:24:04,599 Speaker 1: during the pandemic, where now they will just on a whim. 1418 01:24:04,920 --> 01:24:06,880 Speaker 1: I mean, the New York is probably the best example 1419 01:24:06,920 --> 01:24:08,920 Speaker 1: of this other line. I know there are others. They'll say, well, 1420 01:24:09,240 --> 01:24:11,519 Speaker 1: you can eat food, but you can only eat it 1421 01:24:12,000 --> 01:24:16,400 Speaker 1: at a restaurant outside, and you can't order drinks alone. 1422 01:24:16,560 --> 01:24:18,720 Speaker 1: You have to order food with your drinks, and you 1423 01:24:18,720 --> 01:24:21,360 Speaker 1: can't order a drink before your food. And you know, 1424 01:24:21,760 --> 01:24:23,720 Speaker 1: I've been joking around people saying, at what point did 1425 01:24:23,720 --> 01:24:26,720 Speaker 1: they start putting an egg timer on the table outside 1426 01:24:26,840 --> 01:24:28,479 Speaker 1: that you're allowed to eat in and if you don't, 1427 01:24:28,640 --> 01:24:30,800 Speaker 1: they're going to arrest you. I mean, it seems to 1428 01:24:30,840 --> 01:24:34,280 Speaker 1: me like we're a country that thinks of itself as 1429 01:24:33,840 --> 01:24:37,240 Speaker 1: a as a big collection of individuals who care about 1430 01:24:37,240 --> 01:24:41,439 Speaker 1: their rights and freedoms and democracy and the Constitution. And 1431 01:24:41,560 --> 01:24:43,680 Speaker 1: when the governor jumps, we all say how high it's 1432 01:24:43,720 --> 01:24:47,600 Speaker 1: a little disappointing. Well, hl Menkin, the great cynic of 1433 01:24:47,920 --> 01:24:50,120 Speaker 1: times past, said, the average man does not want to 1434 01:24:50,120 --> 01:24:52,439 Speaker 1: be free. He simply wants to be safe. I'm not 1435 01:24:52,520 --> 01:24:54,920 Speaker 1: surprised at this because if you go back a generation, 1436 01:24:54,960 --> 01:24:57,280 Speaker 1: look at the Patriot At the Patriot Act allowed the 1437 01:24:57,280 --> 01:24:59,840 Speaker 1: government to basically infringe on our rights and near you, 1438 01:25:00,920 --> 01:25:03,400 Speaker 1: Edward Snowden revealed that pretty much all our phone calls 1439 01:25:03,400 --> 01:25:05,120 Speaker 1: are being recorded as a matter of course, by the 1440 01:25:05,160 --> 01:25:09,080 Speaker 1: state and Conservatives and Democrats, you know, both who have 1441 01:25:09,360 --> 01:25:12,559 Speaker 1: members of their movements who ostensibly or for privacy rights 1442 01:25:12,880 --> 01:25:15,720 Speaker 1: blithely every year. We knew these things without even a 1443 01:25:15,960 --> 01:25:18,880 Speaker 1: mention of this being a huge atrocity in terms of 1444 01:25:19,000 --> 01:25:21,679 Speaker 1: rights and in terms of the Constitution the founding fathers. 1445 01:25:21,720 --> 01:25:25,200 Speaker 1: So it's a lot easier to put over ideas when 1446 01:25:25,760 --> 01:25:29,639 Speaker 1: there is a legitimate crisis, when people are sincerely dying. 1447 01:25:30,040 --> 01:25:33,800 Speaker 1: But in terms of broader issues, I see very little 1448 01:25:33,800 --> 01:25:37,720 Speaker 1: pushback among Americans despite how we're perceived and told that 1449 01:25:37,800 --> 01:25:40,759 Speaker 1: we are when it comes to infringements on our freedoms, 1450 01:25:41,439 --> 01:25:44,760 Speaker 1: and it is It's just, it is what it is. 1451 01:25:44,800 --> 01:25:47,479 Speaker 1: I guess I could say I'm not surprised that's the 1452 01:25:47,560 --> 01:25:51,120 Speaker 1: President said that about the pandemic on that Axios interview 1453 01:25:51,120 --> 01:25:54,559 Speaker 1: and certainly got a lot of yeah, yeah, a lot 1454 01:25:54,880 --> 01:25:57,880 Speaker 1: of heat. I think we're speaking of Michael Malice, author 1455 01:25:58,040 --> 01:26:01,120 Speaker 1: of A Dear Reader, the unauthor Biography of Kim Jong 1456 01:26:01,200 --> 01:26:03,800 Speaker 1: Ill and also The New Right, a book that I 1457 01:26:03,880 --> 01:26:08,559 Speaker 1: have here on my bookshelf. Michael, you know, there seems 1458 01:26:08,560 --> 01:26:12,799 Speaker 1: to be a very consistent chorus from the anti Trump, 1459 01:26:13,320 --> 01:26:17,840 Speaker 1: not just left, anti Trump everything. If only, and then 1460 01:26:17,880 --> 01:26:20,880 Speaker 1: there's kind of a pause, we'd be so much better off. 1461 01:26:20,920 --> 01:26:23,680 Speaker 1: All of this is Trump's fault. I never really understand 1462 01:26:23,960 --> 01:26:26,759 Speaker 1: what they're it's never clear. I shouldn't say I don't understand, 1463 01:26:26,800 --> 01:26:29,800 Speaker 1: it's never clear. If only what what is it that 1464 01:26:29,840 --> 01:26:33,680 Speaker 1: you think they're The claim really is if Trump, if 1465 01:26:33,720 --> 01:26:36,880 Speaker 1: Trump hadn't done the following, we wouldn't be in this circumstance. 1466 01:26:36,880 --> 01:26:39,479 Speaker 1: It seems like that the data does not support the 1467 01:26:39,600 --> 01:26:45,120 Speaker 1: idea that the American experience with COVID nineteen is uniquely bad, 1468 01:26:45,280 --> 01:26:49,000 Speaker 1: especially when you look at our general health as a population, 1469 01:26:49,000 --> 01:26:51,360 Speaker 1: which I don't know one wants to talk about. Diabetes 1470 01:26:51,360 --> 01:26:54,599 Speaker 1: and heart disease are the two biggest mortality risks other 1471 01:26:54,640 --> 01:26:58,120 Speaker 1: than age that people have for this, and America is 1472 01:26:58,720 --> 01:27:01,439 Speaker 1: in a class by its self in those areas. But 1473 01:27:01,800 --> 01:27:04,360 Speaker 1: what are we supposed to have done differently according to 1474 01:27:04,360 --> 01:27:06,280 Speaker 1: the left as you see it, other than just not 1475 01:27:06,320 --> 01:27:09,200 Speaker 1: have trumpy president. I think what they are reacting to 1476 01:27:09,640 --> 01:27:13,120 Speaker 1: is a population and a nation that does not regard 1477 01:27:13,160 --> 01:27:16,400 Speaker 1: them as worthy of praise and does not waste time 1478 01:27:16,439 --> 01:27:20,360 Speaker 1: engaging in conversation with their stupid opinions. And when you 1479 01:27:20,439 --> 01:27:24,839 Speaker 1: have this is unprecedented. You had George W. Bush, Rodney McCain. 1480 01:27:25,160 --> 01:27:29,599 Speaker 1: They all felt comfortable engaging with and having discussions on 1481 01:27:29,760 --> 01:27:32,760 Speaker 1: the left's terms. President Trump is saying, no, we're not 1482 01:27:32,800 --> 01:27:37,200 Speaker 1: having this conversation. You guys are an abomination. And you 1483 01:27:37,240 --> 01:27:39,160 Speaker 1: know he often refers to the fake news as the 1484 01:27:39,240 --> 01:27:41,320 Speaker 1: enemy the people. He said this yesterday. I have a 1485 01:27:41,360 --> 01:27:45,559 Speaker 1: similar expression. So this causes them an enormous existential grief 1486 01:27:45,800 --> 01:27:49,760 Speaker 1: because if you are a moral, busybody whose focus in 1487 01:27:49,840 --> 01:27:53,679 Speaker 1: life is domination and controlling people's lives, controlling their money 1488 01:27:53,680 --> 01:27:57,440 Speaker 1: and controlling how they live, and you have an establishment 1489 01:27:57,760 --> 01:28:00,439 Speaker 1: in the White House that is not even to give 1490 01:28:00,439 --> 01:28:03,160 Speaker 1: you the time of day. This will cause you enormous 1491 01:28:03,360 --> 01:28:06,880 Speaker 1: psychological distress. And I think that is what they are, 1492 01:28:06,960 --> 01:28:11,240 Speaker 1: if not explicitly referring to, emotionally responding to. Isn't it 1493 01:28:11,280 --> 01:28:14,280 Speaker 1: fair to say, I mean, some of these signals that 1494 01:28:14,320 --> 01:28:20,160 Speaker 1: we've seen, especially from the more anti full protests that 1495 01:28:20,200 --> 01:28:23,719 Speaker 1: have happened. What are you, as somebody who's an actual anarchist, Michael, 1496 01:28:23,720 --> 01:28:26,599 Speaker 1: What do you make of these people in Portland who 1497 01:28:26,640 --> 01:28:28,439 Speaker 1: say they're antiphon and then they run up to black 1498 01:28:28,479 --> 01:28:30,760 Speaker 1: cops and screaming their faces and spit at them and 1499 01:28:30,880 --> 01:28:32,960 Speaker 1: say that they're race traders and all this. What does 1500 01:28:33,000 --> 01:28:36,920 Speaker 1: any of this have to do with actual anarchism. Well, 1501 01:28:36,960 --> 01:28:39,400 Speaker 1: I mean they're referring back to the original anarchism in 1502 01:28:39,439 --> 01:28:42,160 Speaker 1: the late nineteenth century, which was very much based on 1503 01:28:42,320 --> 01:28:45,080 Speaker 1: anti police, which reviewed the police as a function of 1504 01:28:45,200 --> 01:28:49,479 Speaker 1: capitalist control. There's a monument in seven term in Chicago 1505 01:28:49,520 --> 01:28:52,439 Speaker 1: to the hate Market Right Martyrs. These were seven men 1506 01:28:52,479 --> 01:28:55,280 Speaker 1: who were killed simply for their political views when a 1507 01:28:55,320 --> 01:28:57,439 Speaker 1: police officer was killed by bomb, even though several of 1508 01:28:57,439 --> 01:28:59,840 Speaker 1: them weren't even present at the location, so this go 1509 01:29:00,200 --> 01:29:05,120 Speaker 1: back a long way. However, it's just fascinating to see 1510 01:29:05,160 --> 01:29:08,759 Speaker 1: how if you watch the corepor press, these people apparently 1511 01:29:08,800 --> 01:29:11,360 Speaker 1: don't exist. I'm sure you probably saw the video where 1512 01:29:11,640 --> 01:29:15,519 Speaker 1: General Nadler from the House Chairman was asked about, you know, 1513 01:29:15,520 --> 01:29:17,640 Speaker 1: Antika violence, and he's just said, it's a myth if 1514 01:29:17,680 --> 01:29:21,200 Speaker 1: this doesn't exist. So you know, the New York Times 1515 01:29:21,200 --> 01:29:23,880 Speaker 1: will put on page a one above the fold an 1516 01:29:24,000 --> 01:29:27,400 Speaker 1: article about some kid who watched Bench Shapiro videos and then, 1517 01:29:27,400 --> 01:29:29,759 Speaker 1: as a result of YouTube, started watching more to various 1518 01:29:29,840 --> 01:29:32,280 Speaker 1: videos and then kind of revert to the mean. But 1519 01:29:32,360 --> 01:29:35,919 Speaker 1: when you have people engaged and movements engaged in wholesale 1520 01:29:36,000 --> 01:29:40,040 Speaker 1: violence and wholesale disrespect towards the police, they simply act 1521 01:29:40,080 --> 01:29:42,560 Speaker 1: as if they don't exist.

After all the lies from big tobacco 1545 01:31:22,520 --> 01:31:24,200 Speaker 1: have come out and people are like, oh, so you 1546 01:31:24,200 --> 01:31:27,000 Speaker 1: guys really were suppressing the science about how this kills people. 1547 01:31:27,680 --> 01:31:30,040 Speaker 1: So yeah, you don't want to you don't want that gig. 1548 01:31:30,080 --> 01:31:32,800 Speaker 1: That's a tough one.

Mike kicks 1573 01:32:52,680 --> 01:32:57,520 Speaker 1: us off here, Hi, Buck. The rules are demonstrably, presumptuously 1574 01:32:57,600 --> 01:33:01,880 Speaker 1: and unapologetically different for our fred congressional and bureaucratic royals 1575 01:33:01,960 --> 01:33:06,120 Speaker 1: these most recent decades. They glare with indignation and quickly 1576 01:33:06,160 --> 01:33:10,800 Speaker 1: dismiss any commoner's public challenge to their privilege. Oddly, Americans 1577 01:33:10,880 --> 01:33:14,080 Speaker 1: must have some odd fascination with them, voting them back 1578 01:33:14,080 --> 01:33:18,559 Speaker 1: in every two years. Castle doctrine shields high. Yeah, Mike, 1579 01:33:18,640 --> 01:33:21,880 Speaker 1: the political class in this country loves to exempt themselves 1580 01:33:21,880 --> 01:33:25,080 Speaker 1: and expects different treatment from what the rest of us have. 1581 01:33:25,400 --> 01:33:29,880 Speaker 1: I think that's really an irrefutable point at this at 1582 01:33:29,880 --> 01:33:33,040 Speaker 1: this stage. And you know that's if you go back 1583 01:33:33,080 --> 01:33:35,920 Speaker 1: to the origins of English common law, and you even 1584 01:33:35,920 --> 01:33:40,080 Speaker 1: go back to Magna carta and twelve fifteen, signed on 1585 01:33:40,120 --> 01:33:43,320 Speaker 1: the fields of Runnymede. If you go back to Magna Carta, 1586 01:33:43,560 --> 01:33:50,200 Speaker 1: the big evolution in Western Western civilization and jurisprudence specifically, 1587 01:33:50,400 --> 01:33:52,800 Speaker 1: was there got to be rules that everyone, everyone is 1588 01:33:52,840 --> 01:33:56,040 Speaker 1: held accountable too, and that you can't break. There are 1589 01:33:56,040 --> 01:33:58,519 Speaker 1: got to be rules, real rules that we can all understand, 1590 01:33:58,600 --> 01:34:01,920 Speaker 1: that are clear and that are applicable to everyone. If 1591 01:34:01,920 --> 01:34:04,280 Speaker 1: there is anybody for whom there are no rules whatsoever, 1592 01:34:04,439 --> 01:34:06,479 Speaker 1: then we got a problem. And there if there's a 1593 01:34:06,479 --> 01:34:08,920 Speaker 1: whole class of people for whom there are no rules, 1594 01:34:09,240 --> 01:34:14,280 Speaker 1: we got really big problems. So I do insist on 1595 01:34:14,360 --> 01:34:16,960 Speaker 1: continuing to point out the ways in which our current 1596 01:34:17,040 --> 01:34:21,200 Speaker 1: legal system and just the application of laws and regulations 1597 01:34:21,320 --> 01:34:24,599 Speaker 1: is inconsistent based upon political expediency. I got a big 1598 01:34:24,640 --> 01:34:29,519 Speaker 1: problem with that, very very big problem of that ownah 1599 01:34:30,640 --> 01:34:33,160 Speaker 1: hi Buck. I live in Redding, California. We are the 1600 01:34:33,240 --> 01:34:37,880 Speaker 1: true Northern California. My grandsons are eight and ten. My 1601 01:34:38,000 --> 01:34:40,120 Speaker 1: daughter just told me they'll be going back to school 1602 01:34:40,320 --> 01:34:43,519 Speaker 1: usually the middle of August, masks worn only two and 1603 01:34:43,600 --> 01:34:47,479 Speaker 1: from the classroom, not in the classroom. The children will 1604 01:34:47,520 --> 01:34:50,520 Speaker 1: only be with each other, lunch eaten in the classroom 1605 01:34:50,920 --> 01:34:54,880 Speaker 1: recess only with their classmates. We're thankful for this concession. 1606 01:34:55,640 --> 01:34:58,759 Speaker 1: There is a petition I signed to recall Gavin Newsom 1607 01:34:59,200 --> 01:35:01,880 Speaker 1: whatever the rea, and he's opening the schools will take it. 1608 01:35:02,160 --> 01:35:04,799 Speaker 1: My heart goes out to you for being locked down. Still, 1609 01:35:04,800 --> 01:35:08,200 Speaker 1: our law enforcement in Reading is more relaxed, for which 1610 01:35:08,200 --> 01:35:10,240 Speaker 1: we are grateful. Thank you for what you continue to do. 1611 01:35:10,320 --> 01:35:13,479 Speaker 1: Thanks for being our voice. Blessings and shields high Well, Ohanna, 1612 01:35:13,560 --> 01:35:15,519 Speaker 1: thank you so much for your kind noted for letting 1613 01:35:15,560 --> 01:35:19,240 Speaker 1: us know what's going on with schools in California, that 1614 01:35:19,320 --> 01:35:22,519 Speaker 1: this school opening issue is going to just get even 1615 01:35:22,600 --> 01:35:26,719 Speaker 1: more contentious. And I want to just ask the people 1616 01:35:26,760 --> 01:35:30,360 Speaker 1: that think that lockdown is what is the endgame here? 1617 01:35:30,479 --> 01:35:33,400 Speaker 1: When do we stop doing this when the virus is 1618 01:35:33,479 --> 01:35:38,280 Speaker 1: under control. If that is the standard, then let's all 1619 01:35:38,360 --> 01:35:40,800 Speaker 1: be and we believe everything else they say about mask 1620 01:35:40,880 --> 01:35:43,759 Speaker 1: wearing and social distancing and all this stuff. The moment 1621 01:35:43,800 --> 01:35:46,280 Speaker 1: that we go back to living our lives, the virus 1622 01:35:46,280 --> 01:35:50,960 Speaker 1: will not be under control. So what are we doing? Oh, 1623 01:35:51,000 --> 01:35:54,400 Speaker 1: it is lockdown until vaccine. They just won't tell us that. 1624 01:35:55,160 --> 01:35:59,200 Speaker 1: Oh no, I'm sorry, it's lockdown until election. That's what 1625 01:35:59,280 --> 01:36:02,920 Speaker 1: we're all going through. They are stealing a year of 1626 01:36:03,000 --> 01:36:06,800 Speaker 1: americans lives from them. That is what the government is 1627 01:36:06,800 --> 01:36:10,000 Speaker 1: currently doing. That's what is happening. And the public health 1628 01:36:10,040 --> 01:36:14,599 Speaker 1: experts who have been wildly unimpressive this whole time, Well, 1629 01:36:14,600 --> 01:36:16,920 Speaker 1: what have they known? What have they told you that 1630 01:36:16,960 --> 01:36:20,519 Speaker 1: you didn't know from the first week of this wash 1631 01:36:20,560 --> 01:36:23,439 Speaker 1: your hands, wear a mask, social distance. We all know 1632 01:36:23,520 --> 01:36:25,400 Speaker 1: that from just dealing with colds and flu in our 1633 01:36:25,400 --> 01:36:27,680 Speaker 1: normal lives, that those are things that we do. Do 1634 01:36:27,800 --> 01:36:29,479 Speaker 1: they work? Man, I don't know. We all get colds 1635 01:36:29,479 --> 01:36:34,320 Speaker 1: and flu anyway, but we try. What is the great 1636 01:36:34,840 --> 01:36:38,720 Speaker 1: public health policy? I'm speaking about innovation here. What have 1637 01:36:38,800 --> 01:36:41,920 Speaker 1: they come up with to test and trace? Yeah, that's 1638 01:36:41,920 --> 01:36:45,639 Speaker 1: been a disaster, But you know, people want to believe. 1639 01:36:45,680 --> 01:36:48,080 Speaker 1: They want to believe that the experts can save them all, 1640 01:36:48,080 --> 01:36:50,880 Speaker 1: and that if only we had listened more, if only 1641 01:36:50,960 --> 01:36:55,640 Speaker 1: we were more obedient little surfs in this country, we 1642 01:36:55,680 --> 01:36:58,880 Speaker 1: wouldn't all be subject to this disease. Still, it's it's nonsense, 1643 01:36:58,960 --> 01:37:02,880 Speaker 1: but that's what they think. Eric. Hey Buck, it's been 1644 01:37:02,880 --> 01:37:04,479 Speaker 1: a while, but I have two questions. Who is the 1645 01:37:04,520 --> 01:37:07,280 Speaker 1: snow Princess? And how do we outlast strawberry ice cream? 1646 01:37:07,320 --> 01:37:10,439 Speaker 1: On a side note for producer Mark, Cinnamon Life is 1647 01:37:10,439 --> 01:37:13,759 Speaker 1: the best producer Mark. What say you to this Cinnamon 1648 01:37:13,800 --> 01:37:19,200 Speaker 1: Life claim? Yes, Cinnamon Life cereal is the best. Absolutely, 1649 01:37:19,400 --> 01:37:22,360 Speaker 1: that is my favorite cereal. Everyone my wife thinks I'm nuts, 1650 01:37:22,640 --> 01:37:26,160 Speaker 1: and a lot of people think I'm nuts, but it is. Hey. Look, 1651 01:37:26,320 --> 01:37:30,519 Speaker 1: you know, I think cinnamon is a great and underutilized spice. 1652 01:37:30,680 --> 01:37:32,719 Speaker 1: So and I told you I love cinnamon toast crunch, 1653 01:37:32,960 --> 01:37:38,639 Speaker 1: cinnamon French toasts. Who my favorite thing? Who? It's really 1654 01:37:39,040 --> 01:37:44,880 Speaker 1: really good? So and at the snow Princess is my girlfriend. 1655 01:37:45,000 --> 01:37:49,160 Speaker 1: And that's that's where we leave that. And then how 1656 01:37:49,160 --> 01:37:52,680 Speaker 1: do we outlast strawberry ice cream? I don't know, a 1657 01:37:52,680 --> 01:37:54,960 Speaker 1: good question. We gotta speak to our local representatives about that. 1658 01:37:54,960 --> 01:37:57,840 Speaker 1: You know, I found something. I was very it's very 1659 01:37:57,840 --> 01:38:01,120 Speaker 1: startled when I was told this, you know, really really 1660 01:38:01,120 --> 01:38:03,599 Speaker 1: like strawberry ice cream and has some has some on 1661 01:38:03,640 --> 01:38:07,599 Speaker 1: hand pretty much at all times. My own wonderful parents too, great, 1662 01:38:07,680 --> 01:38:12,760 Speaker 1: fantastic patriotic Americans. They like strawberry ice cream. So I 1663 01:38:12,760 --> 01:38:16,120 Speaker 1: don't know, at least be no strawberry ice cream. Liking 1664 01:38:16,200 --> 01:38:17,960 Speaker 1: or not liking is not a genetic thing, you know, 1665 01:38:18,000 --> 01:38:20,439 Speaker 1: it just it can skip a generation. They like it, 1666 01:38:20,479 --> 01:38:22,519 Speaker 1: Producer Mark, I'm what can I say? I know we 1667 01:38:23,200 --> 01:38:25,760 Speaker 1: brought it up an they can have one flaw. Yeah, 1668 01:38:25,800 --> 01:38:27,800 Speaker 1: and they're a lot of perfect. They like strawberry ice cream. 1669 01:38:27,840 --> 01:38:29,800 Speaker 1: It's okay, they like strawberry ice cream. You can never 1670 01:38:29,880 --> 01:38:32,519 Speaker 1: show up places on time. You know, everyone has their Yeah, exactly. 1671 01:38:32,520 --> 01:38:36,680 Speaker 1: No one's perfect. No one's perfect, Zach hey Buck. First off, 1672 01:38:36,720 --> 01:38:39,479 Speaker 1: Producer Mark is the best. But don't worry. Running up 1673 01:38:39,520 --> 01:38:43,800 Speaker 1: ain't bad. There we go. I completely agree with your 1674 01:38:43,840 --> 01:38:47,559 Speaker 1: long standing, correct opinion on not bestowing titles to public 1675 01:38:47,560 --> 01:38:51,040 Speaker 1: officials after they leave the office. It perpetuates the faux 1676 01:38:51,120 --> 01:38:55,320 Speaker 1: royalty that public service has become. Pro tip to support 1677 01:38:55,360 --> 01:38:58,519 Speaker 1: your exception on retired military keeping their rank. When you 1678 01:38:58,520 --> 01:39:01,719 Speaker 1: are placed on inactive role is retired, you are still 1679 01:39:01,960 --> 01:39:04,080 Speaker 1: technically in the military for the rest of your life, 1680 01:39:04,400 --> 01:39:07,759 Speaker 1: subject to UCMJ, and with the potential to be recalled 1681 01:39:07,800 --> 01:39:13,880 Speaker 1: to active duty if needed. Zach, Very very interesting, very 1682 01:39:16,040 --> 01:39:19,320 Speaker 1: worthwhile addition to our our thought process here on the 1683 01:39:19,400 --> 01:39:22,880 Speaker 1: keeping up of the titles. So yes, yes, indeed, and 1684 01:39:22,920 --> 01:39:25,320 Speaker 1: you're still subject to being called up to duty if 1685 01:39:25,439 --> 01:39:30,559 Speaker 1: need be. Yeah. I just also I think that there's 1686 01:39:30,560 --> 01:39:33,160 Speaker 1: a special a special honorific for serving in the government 1687 01:39:33,320 --> 01:39:36,840 Speaker 1: is different than serve far serving the military is different. 1688 01:39:36,840 --> 01:39:39,439 Speaker 1: Then you know, yeah, I was the ambassador to I 1689 01:39:39,520 --> 01:39:41,640 Speaker 1: was the ambassador to a Kosovo for a year, and 1690 01:39:41,680 --> 01:39:44,439 Speaker 1: we all have to be like, oh, mister ambassador. And look, 1691 01:39:44,479 --> 01:39:46,639 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say it because I saw today there 1692 01:39:46,720 --> 01:39:50,080 Speaker 1: was an interview on Fox News with doctor Jill Biden. 1693 01:39:51,120 --> 01:39:54,400 Speaker 1: Her name is Jill Biden. Okay, she's a doctor of education, 1694 01:39:54,720 --> 01:39:58,519 Speaker 1: which is not a doctor. She has a PhD in education. 1695 01:39:58,960 --> 01:40:01,440 Speaker 1: I don't. I'm sorry. I know people get the PhDs 1696 01:40:01,439 --> 01:40:03,280 Speaker 1: of the audience can get mad at me. That's fine, 1697 01:40:03,439 --> 01:40:07,640 Speaker 1: but you are you know, Joe Blow or Jane Blow PhD. 1698 01:40:08,160 --> 01:40:09,800 Speaker 1: I do not think that everyone has to run around 1699 01:40:09,800 --> 01:40:12,360 Speaker 1: calling you doctor all the time. I mean, do we 1700 01:40:12,400 --> 01:40:16,040 Speaker 1: have to call people who have an honorary doctorate doctor? No. 1701 01:40:16,240 --> 01:40:22,880 Speaker 1: I think doctor is for m d medical doctor, boom dropping, 1702 01:40:22,960 --> 01:40:27,160 Speaker 1: some dropping, some truth bombs. So there there we have it. 1703 01:40:27,240 --> 01:40:28,800 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't, don't. It's like a lawyer who 1704 01:40:28,840 --> 01:40:31,000 Speaker 1: insists on always being called or always writing, you know, 1705 01:40:31,200 --> 01:40:34,439 Speaker 1: esquire at the end, it's like, come on, come on, really, 1706 01:40:35,960 --> 01:40:40,599 Speaker 1: but some people do you'd be surprised. Hunter. Hey Buck, 1707 01:40:40,720 --> 01:40:43,200 Speaker 1: my name is Hunter and I am thirteen. I am 1708 01:40:43,240 --> 01:40:46,240 Speaker 1: from Spokane, Washington.

He's he's gonna do things to amphibians that 1716 01:41:07,600 --> 01:41:10,320 Speaker 1: will blow your mind, part of an alien plot.

Hey Buck, 1727 01:41:44,360 --> 01:41:46,880 Speaker 1: I've been enjoying your show every day since this pandemic started. 1728 01:41:46,960 --> 01:41:49,000 Speaker 1: Needed somebody to actually tell the news. You've been doing great. 1729 01:41:49,120 --> 01:41:51,320 Speaker 1: Keep up the good work. Thank you, Alex. You were 1730 01:41:51,360 --> 01:41:53,479 Speaker 1: talking about mail in ballots little on Thursday or Friday, 1731 01:41:53,520 --> 01:41:56,240 Speaker 1: and I saw a meme that applies it basically says, 1732 01:41:56,800 --> 01:41:59,000 Speaker 1: imagine you won the powerball, would you send it in 1733 01:41:59,080 --> 01:42:01,559 Speaker 1: the mail or go yourself to turn it in? Same 1734 01:42:01,640 --> 01:42:06,800 Speaker 1: situation for mail in ballots. Thanks again, Alex. I would 1735 01:42:06,840 --> 01:42:09,000 Speaker 1: not trust the mail to get it done, that's for sure. 1736 01:42:09,160 --> 01:42:13,000 Speaker 1: Mail in ballots are going to be fraught with problems 1737 01:42:13,040 --> 01:42:18,000 Speaker 1: and challenges and shortcomings. Oh my, thank you very much 1738 01:42:18,040 --> 01:42:24,360 Speaker 1: for writing again. I appreciate it. She'll tie you're in them. 1739 01:42:25,080 --> 01:42:31,479 Speaker 1: This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. All right, more 1740 01:42:31,560 --> 01:42:36,160 Speaker 1: roll call here. We have Nanette in the mix, and uh, 1741 01:42:36,479 --> 01:42:38,560 Speaker 1: you know, we're just trying to trying to get the 1742 01:42:38,600 --> 01:42:44,240 Speaker 1: show on with bearing down on us here with terrible 1743 01:42:44,280 --> 01:42:47,720 Speaker 1: winds and rain and lions and tigers and bears. Oh my, 1744 01:42:47,920 --> 01:42:50,680 Speaker 1: it's crazy here right now. It's hope it's not a 1745 01:42:50,760 --> 01:42:53,479 Speaker 1: tornado ripping through manat at anytime soon. It looks pretty 1746 01:42:53,560 --> 01:42:59,800 Speaker 1: dark out there. All right, we have m what's up? 1747 01:43:00,280 --> 01:43:04,719 Speaker 1: We have Nanette Buck, I love the Fouch and Cuomo 1748 01:43:05,400 --> 01:43:07,559 Speaker 1: as an Indiana girl who spent a few weeks every 1749 01:43:07,560 --> 01:43:10,320 Speaker 1: summer fishing in Minnesota. Gotta tell you too much Minnesota 1750 01:43:10,400 --> 01:43:16,000 Speaker 1: in your Gretchen Wilson Michigander. Um, well, what does the 1751 01:43:16,080 --> 01:43:18,880 Speaker 1: fouch think about this? The Fouch wants you to know 1752 01:43:19,040 --> 01:43:22,519 Speaker 1: that if you mitigate the Michiganda or the mitigate the 1753 01:43:22,560 --> 01:43:27,120 Speaker 1: Minnesota in your Michiganda, the data will tell you that 1754 01:43:27,240 --> 01:43:30,120 Speaker 1: you're less Michigan and more Minnesota. That's what I'll tell you. 1755 01:43:30,560 --> 01:43:33,960 Speaker 1: But what does Cuomo say? Quobo wants you to know 1756 01:43:34,800 --> 01:43:37,080 Speaker 1: that Michigan is not Minnesota. How do we know Michigan 1757 01:43:37,200 --> 01:43:41,080 Speaker 1: is not Minnesota. Minnesota on a map looks a little 1758 01:43:41,120 --> 01:43:45,840 Speaker 1: bit like a glove or perhaps a mitten. What does 1759 01:43:46,280 --> 01:43:48,960 Speaker 1: a mitten is? Why you put on your kid when 1760 01:43:49,080 --> 01:43:50,920 Speaker 1: you want them to look like a little kid because 1761 01:43:50,920 --> 01:43:52,800 Speaker 1: a glove is too adult looking. Why is it glove 1762 01:43:52,840 --> 01:43:56,600 Speaker 1: to adult? Because their little fingers all stead together in 1763 01:43:56,680 --> 01:43:59,960 Speaker 1: the mitten where it is warm, unlike a glove where 1764 01:44:00,000 --> 01:44:03,760 Speaker 1: their fingers separate, which could in fact result in less insulation. 1765 01:44:04,320 --> 01:44:06,519 Speaker 1: What do I mean by insulation. All right, you get 1766 01:44:06,560 --> 01:44:08,599 Speaker 1: the idea. I don't know, Producer Mark, can you tell 1767 01:44:08,600 --> 01:44:11,080 Speaker 1: the difference between a Michigander and a Minnesota accent because 1768 01:44:11,160 --> 01:44:14,720 Speaker 1: I'm a I'm just a yuppie from NYC man. I 1769 01:44:14,760 --> 01:44:16,840 Speaker 1: can't tell the difference at all. No, it's just like 1770 01:44:16,960 --> 01:44:19,280 Speaker 1: telling the different between New York, New Jersey, Long Island 1771 01:44:19,280 --> 01:44:22,360 Speaker 1: and all the same. Yeah, New York and New Jersey. 1772 01:44:23,120 --> 01:44:32,040 Speaker 1: They definitely think, they definitely think that they have very 1773 01:44:32,200 --> 01:44:35,920 Speaker 1: different accents. But I don't think that the the the 1774 01:44:36,080 --> 01:44:39,640 Speaker 1: tonal variations really are all that all that different at all. 1775 01:44:40,439 --> 01:44:44,200 Speaker 1: John Shields, a real news fan, I recently attempted to 1776 01:44:44,360 --> 01:44:48,000 Speaker 1: engage your discussion about how America is divided. My point 1777 01:44:48,080 --> 01:44:49,960 Speaker 1: was that the Democrats the media have been dividing us 1778 01:44:50,000 --> 01:44:52,720 Speaker 1: for decades. Al Gore and Florida and Trump the last 1779 01:44:52,760 --> 01:44:55,960 Speaker 1: four years are pretty obvious examples. The other guys seem 1780 01:44:56,000 --> 01:44:57,920 Speaker 1: to get upset at this, claiming that both sides are 1781 01:44:57,920 --> 01:45:00,519 Speaker 1: responsible for dividing the country or that it's I'm doing this. 1782 01:45:00,600 --> 01:45:03,280 Speaker 1: But he didn't openly say that. Just wanted your thoughts 1783 01:45:03,360 --> 01:45:07,120 Speaker 1: commy bear lives, John, Yeah, lives are always going to 1784 01:45:07,200 --> 01:45:10,519 Speaker 1: think that Trump is the one who is responsible for 1785 01:45:10,720 --> 01:45:12,920 Speaker 1: dividing the country. No one else has ever divided the 1786 01:45:12,960 --> 01:45:15,920 Speaker 1: country before Trump. He's the worst. It's all Trump. Yeah, 1787 01:45:16,000 --> 01:45:18,240 Speaker 1: he got all that stuff, and you're never gonna convince 1788 01:45:18,280 --> 01:45:22,360 Speaker 1: them otherwise. So just understand that liberals have convinced themselves 1789 01:45:22,479 --> 01:45:24,519 Speaker 1: of certain things about Trump that are not They are 1790 01:45:24,640 --> 01:45:31,000 Speaker 1: impervious to additional facts or reality.
