Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom hunt. Biden gets roasted. By morning, Joe,
Speaker 1: Secretary of State Pompeio will be joining us to talk
Speaker 1: about China and US foreign policy. Sean Davis weighs in
Speaker 1: on General Flynn, and Alex Jones will eat his neighbors.
Speaker 1: This is the bus Sexton Show, where the mission or
Speaker 1: mission is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence.
Speaker 1: Mag No, no no mistake, you're a great American. Again, the
Speaker 1: buck Sexton Show begins, He's a great guy. No. By
Speaker 1: regarding that, Joe Biden, your campaign and surrogates going after
Speaker 1: him pretty hard with regard to these allegations from Tera Red.
Speaker 1: What do you say to a lot? So, I don't
Speaker 1: think they're going after him hard with regard to terry allegations.
Speaker 1: And what do you say to I don't know anything
Speaker 1: about it. I don't know exactly I think he should respond.
Speaker 1: You know, it could be false accusations. I'd know all
Speaker 1: about false accusations. I've been falsely charged numerous times. And
Speaker 1: there is such a thing if you look at if
Speaker 1: you look at Brett Kavanaugh, there's an outstanding man. He
Speaker 1: was falsely charged. What happened with him was an absolute
Speaker 1: disgrace to a country. And I guess three of the
Speaker 1: four women have now admitted that, and of the fourth
Speaker 1: give me a break. I mean, take a look thirty
Speaker 1: six years that is. Look, this is a fine man.
Speaker 1: I saw a man suffering so unfairly. I'm talking about
Speaker 1: Brett Kavanaugh. So but I don't know. I can't speak
Speaker 1: for Biden. I can only say that I think he
Speaker 1: should respond, and I think you should answer them. Welcome
Speaker 1: the buck section, share everybody. The president there asked about
Speaker 1: the allegations against Joe Biden and being I think fair
Speaker 1: minded in his response, he's talking about how there are
Speaker 1: false allegations out there. He said it could be false allegations.
Speaker 1: You know, when the president of the United States has
Speaker 1: an opportunity here to crush his rival, the person running
Speaker 1: against him, he goes for a more fair, more even
Speaker 1: handed response. I think it's in part because Trump himself
Speaker 1: has been the subject of as he says, I know
Speaker 1: all about false accusations. So he's saying, we got to
Speaker 1: see now. Why he brings up Kavanaugh is quite clear.
Speaker 1: They almost the left, the Libs, the Dems, the media,
Speaker 1: they almost managed to scuttle Kavanaugh's nomination of the Supreme
Speaker 1: Court and ruined his life in his career. Can you
Speaker 1: imagine the stain that that would leave on that man,
Speaker 1: on his legacy, what that could do to his family,
Speaker 1: could destroy him. I mean, honestly, we would be lucky
Speaker 1: if they had destroyed the Kavanaugh nomination the way that
Speaker 1: they sought to. We would have been fortunate if we
Speaker 1: didn't find out years later that Kavanaugh decided to make
Speaker 1: a very bad choice about what to do with his
Speaker 1: own safety. That's the kind of destruction that they were
Speaker 1: willing to induce that they're willing to create because they
Speaker 1: hated Kavanaugh so much because of the threat that he
Speaker 1: is in the as a Supreme Court justice to them
Speaker 1: getting what they want from the Supreme Court, which never
Speaker 1: should be the case. It's not about the Supreme Court
Speaker 1: as a super legislator, but that's what they want, that's
Speaker 1: what they prefer, and so if you try to get
Speaker 1: in the way of that, there's a problem, and they'll
Speaker 1: do anything. And the Kavanaugh saga was the ugliest political
Speaker 1: fight I've ever seen, and I will never think of
Speaker 1: some people the same way, including some liberals that I
Speaker 1: had previously had pretty friendly relations with. M not like
Speaker 1: that friendly, but you know people that I knew and
Speaker 1: they were willing to just go along with at all.
Speaker 1: And I and the people anyone in the media also
Speaker 1: that we're making fun of Kavanaugh's defense of himself. He
Speaker 1: seemed unhinged. These people are out, they're out of their minds.
Speaker 1: You're falsely accused by lunatics of sexual assault. In one case,
Speaker 1: let's not forget one of the one of the accusers
Speaker 1: said that Prett Kavanaugh was running a secret gang rape
Speaker 1: ring in high school, and she when she was in
Speaker 1: college because she didn't really do the clearly the math
Speaker 1: on the ages and the years here when she was
Speaker 1: in college, would go back to the high school parties
Speaker 1: where they were gang rapes occurring of unconscious girls and
Speaker 1: said that Kavanaugh maybe had drugged one of them. And
Speaker 1: then she said, well, actually, I don't think he drugged
Speaker 1: one of them. That person the media gave her credibility.
Speaker 1: She was part of this assault on the most grotesting
Speaker 1: I've ever seen. And the point at the time as
Speaker 1: well for all of us, was that Kavanaugh could have
Speaker 1: been any one of us, any one of our dads,
Speaker 1: our brothers, our husbands, our best friends, Brett Kavanaugh could
Speaker 1: be any of us, a man accused with obvious political
Speaker 1: motivation and a complete absence of corroborating evidence of any kind.
Speaker 1: In fact, all the evidence was going against the accusers.
Speaker 1: And Trump brings this up and we should never forget it,
Speaker 1: because this is one of those moments when you saw
Speaker 1: the separation between left and right that the so called
Speaker 1: liberals in this country, the democratic ideology, the Party of
Speaker 1: the Democrats, is willing to wholesale embrace lies in immorality
Speaker 1: to get what it wants. That the party line will
Speaker 1: be a lie, that the party line will be something
Speaker 1: that averages the destruction of a human being on false pretenses,
Speaker 1: the bearing of false witness, if you want to go
Speaker 1: biblical bearing of false witness against someone as part of
Speaker 1: a political assault. It was absolutely appalling, and we all
Speaker 1: told them at the time, We said, libs, you're gonna
Speaker 1: wake up one day and say, oh, we probably shouldn't
Speaker 1: have used this make believe standard. I mean, think of
Speaker 1: what this would. Women have a right to be believed.
Speaker 1: That was the phrase they used. It was a great yeah,
Speaker 1: and whip up the mob, get them into a frenzy.
Speaker 1: Women have a right to be believed. Okay, well, explain
Speaker 1: to me what that means for the justice system and also, yes,
Speaker 1: for people's reputations. Fact, women do lie about sexual assault.
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's a tiny minority of women. But what happens
Speaker 1: to the men who happen to be falsely accused by
Speaker 1: those tiny minority? Are they just collateral damage? I'll never forget.
Speaker 1: Years ago, the celebrated on the left, at least pseudo
Speaker 1: intellectual as reclined saying that, yeah, if consent standards are
Speaker 1: raised so high by state law that some guys who
Speaker 1: didn't rape somebody have to be accused of rape, but
Speaker 1: that puts all other guys on notice. You know, that
Speaker 1: would be that would be a cost that we have
Speaker 1: to bear to make women feel safer. Oh so, so
Speaker 1: innocent guys should go to prison for rapes that they
Speaker 1: didn't commit, because that will put all the rest of
Speaker 1: us on notice. I mean that that was a classic
Speaker 1: left wing beta mail moment. That was some years ago.
Speaker 1: I'll never forget that. And remember, Biden was also part
Speaker 1: of adjusting college campus Title nine tribunals, these preposterous show
Speaker 1: trials that they do where you don't have any rights
Speaker 1: to confront the accused, You don't have the right to counsel.
Speaker 1: You don't. You know, the standard is not even really
Speaker 1: it's not even really clear. Is it a is it
Speaker 1: a beyond a reasonable doubt a preponderance or the evidence
Speaker 1: the evidence? They make it up as they go along.
Speaker 1: You basically have no rights as the accused other than
Speaker 1: to suffer so that the accuser feels better about the situation.
Speaker 1: And that's how the college campus Title nine sexual assault
Speaker 1: tribunals that Obama and Biden made an issue of federal policy.
Speaker 1: Don't forget that. So now Biden wants the very same
Speaker 1: or the very kind of justice that he denied to
Speaker 1: young men all across America on college campuses. Now Biden
Speaker 1: wants the very same treatment that the Democratic Party was
Speaker 1: denying Kavanaugh entirely. And now they're gas lighting us. No,
Speaker 1: we just wanted an investigation. Really, you know, libs are
Speaker 1: do you think we're all? They really do think they're
Speaker 1: smarter than us, Which is one of the more annoying
Speaker 1: things about them, because they're not two day in FBI investigation.
Speaker 1: What the heck are you going to find from a
Speaker 1: two day Do you think the FBI are some kind
Speaker 1: of superhero cops. Don't even get me started on what
Speaker 1: happened to General Flynn. We'll talk about that in a
Speaker 1: few moments. With the FBI is just going to say, yeah,
Speaker 1: we'll find out what happened thirty years ago based on
Speaker 1: the allegations of a woman who's clearly emotionally disturbed. You
Speaker 1: can't remember when, where, or how the thing happened. All
Speaker 1: she can remember is that at this point in time,
Speaker 1: she needs to destroy Brett Kavanaugh. That's really all she
Speaker 1: can remember. He grabbed at her in a place that
Speaker 1: she can't remember. At the time, she can't remember. In
Speaker 1: a year, she can't remember, and there's no one else
Speaker 1: who has any memory of this whatsoever. This like, you know,
Speaker 1: boy scout straight, a student captain and the football team
Speaker 1: who's bringing meals to the needy on the weekends. Brett Kavana, Yeah,
Speaker 1: secret gang rapists, folks, that's what they told you about him.
Speaker 1: These people are disgusting. I mean, really, I don't pull
Speaker 1: punches about the Kavanaugh thing. Those who are trying to
Speaker 1: destroy him and were willing to abandon all critical faculty,
Speaker 1: all rationality, all reasonableness are disgrace. They're immoral, they're disgusting,
Speaker 1: and they're stupid too, all of the above, all of
Speaker 1: the above. They let their emotions completely override the rest
Speaker 1: of their brain, and Trump was willing to say they're
Speaker 1: false accusations. This morning, Joe Biden actually had to answer
Speaker 1: for the for the allegation. You know, Trump is saying
Speaker 1: there can be He's not saying this allegations false. He's
Speaker 1: saying there can be false allegations, which I think is
Speaker 1: a pretty generous thing under the circumstances for him to
Speaker 1: say so. Then that brings me to Okay, well, what
Speaker 1: exactly you know, if we if we look at this now,
Speaker 1: what what can we expect from Joe Biden? Ah, Joe
Speaker 1: Biden got roasted on Morning Joe. Indeed, let's get into that.
Speaker 1: You're in the freedom hunt. This is the Buck Sexton
Speaker 1: Show podcast. These claims are not true. There's no corporate
Speaker 1: I mean, there's not true. Mister. Well, I'm gonna try
Speaker 1: and ask many different ways. Uh DC Abrams said, join
Speaker 1: the kabinet hearings. I believe women, I believe survivors of
Speaker 1: facault should be supported and the voice is heard. Kreson
Speaker 1: Kilbrand tweeted, do we believe women do we give them
Speaker 1: the opportunity to tell their story. We must be a
Speaker 1: country that says yes every time. They now both support you.
Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi falls into this category too, as well as
Speaker 1: many other leaders in the Democratic Party. Are women to
Speaker 1: be believed? Are women to be believed unless it pertains
Speaker 1: to you. Look, women are to be believed given the
Speaker 1: benefit of the doubt. If they come forward and say
Speaker 1: something that is that they said happen to them, they
Speaker 1: should start off at the presumption they're telling the truth.
Speaker 1: Then you have to look at the circumstances and the facts,
Speaker 1: and the facts in this case do not exist. They
Speaker 1: never happened, and there's so many inconsistencies in what has
Speaker 1: been said in this case. So yes, look at the facts,
Speaker 1: and I assure you it did happened, period, period. But
Speaker 1: why is it different now? Do you regret what you
Speaker 1: said during the Kavanaugh hearings. What I said during the
Speaker 1: Kavanaugh here is was that she had a right to
Speaker 1: be heard and the fact that she came forward, and
Speaker 1: presumption would be she's telling the truth. Unless she's truth,
Speaker 1: she wasn't telling the truth. That's not what he said
Speaker 1: during the Kavni By the way, they're completely rewriting history
Speaker 1: now of what happened during Cavin. I remember, the standard
Speaker 1: was that Kavanaugh should have to step down from the
Speaker 1: nomination in disgrace despite nothing being proved about him. They
Speaker 1: couldn't prove a damn thing. They could not prove anything
Speaker 1: that was being alleged, not one bit of it other
Speaker 1: than someone saying that someone someone made an act. They
Speaker 1: had that. When I say there was zero cooperation or
Speaker 1: evidence zero, they had nothing. They had no additional witnesses,
Speaker 1: they had nothing. But he was supposed to step down
Speaker 1: because even the doubt, this was the standard. Women have
Speaker 1: a right to be believed, and even the doubt that
Speaker 1: an accusation causes is enough for you to not be
Speaker 1: on the Supreme Court, not be in a position of authority.
Speaker 1: You get to be ruined. Just so we're sure, that
Speaker 1: was the standard. Producer Mark and I were talking to
Speaker 1: this before the show. I give credit words due, It's
Speaker 1: one of my one of my mantras. Here, right, I
Speaker 1: give credit where it's due, and Mika right. Producer Mark
Speaker 1: asked real questions. Yeah, one hundred percent, she did the
Speaker 1: right thing. It didn't give him softballs, didn't give him softballs.
Speaker 1: Gay asked him real questions. Now, I think, realistically, is
Speaker 1: it kind of funny that we have to sit here
Speaker 1: and go, hey, look a journalist who's doing journalism for once.
Speaker 1: Where was CNN? By the way, where was fake Tapper?
Speaker 1: I'm sure he could have gotten through all of his
Speaker 1: connections in the Lib media, he could have gotten this
Speaker 1: interview with Biden. Didn't want it, didn't want it. Needed
Speaker 1: to make sure it was Mika. I got to have
Speaker 1: a female be the one that's asking the question. We
Speaker 1: get it, We understand the optics here. You know where
Speaker 1: Anderson Cooper he didn't want this one. Nope, nope, nope.
Speaker 1: Bro Cuomo the with the bench with my lat my
Speaker 1: lack curls or whatever, bicep curls, lat I don't know,
Speaker 1: Rose lad Rose bicep curl same thing. See, I'm not
Speaker 1: broke Cuomo. Yeah, no, none of that. None of that.
Speaker 1: Now they waited until this. I would also want them
Speaker 1: to ask a very straightforward question at Joe Biden, which
Speaker 1: they won't ask though, And this would be if you
Speaker 1: really were trying to get to the heart of the
Speaker 1: matter in a way where they couldn't they couldn't escape
Speaker 1: and avoid what the real implications of all this suff
Speaker 1: may be they should ask Joe Biden, is Tara Reid lying?
Speaker 1: Is she lying? He should have to answer that question,
Speaker 1: because I can sit here and tell you, you know,
Speaker 1: Blasi Ford and the rest. Remember there were others too,
Speaker 1: they were lying about Brett Cavnat they were lying. You
Speaker 1: can say no, they were, and I could say, well,
Speaker 1: I think that they were, and no one can prove otherwise.
Speaker 1: So there you have it, right, Is she lying? He
Speaker 1: should be asked that question. But then you get into
Speaker 1: some other areas for Biden that did not look very good, like,
Speaker 1: for example, why can't we search in his senate records
Speaker 1: at the University of Delaware, which were sealed after he
Speaker 1: was done in the Senate. Why can't we search those
Speaker 1: records for her name to see if it comes up
Speaker 1: at all? And this is Biden's more more kind of
Speaker 1: blathering and nonsense spewing from Biden play for the material
Speaker 1: in the University of Delaware has no personnel files that
Speaker 1: it has, but it does have a lot of confidential
Speaker 1: conversations that I had with the President about a particular
Speaker 1: issue that I had with the heads of state of
Speaker 1: other places that that would not be something that would
Speaker 1: be revealed while I was in public office or while
Speaker 1: I was seeking public office. It just stands the reason,
Speaker 1: the best of my knowledge, no one else has done
Speaker 1: that either. I'm just talking about her name, not anybody
Speaker 1: else in those records. A search for that nothing classified
Speaker 1: would be a president or anybody else. I'm just asking,
Speaker 1: why not do a search for Tera Reid's name in
Speaker 1: the University of Delaware records? Look, I mean, who does
Speaker 1: that search the University of Delaware. Perhaps you set up
Speaker 1: a commission that can do it. I don't know. Whatever
Speaker 1: is the fairest way to create the most transparency. Well
Speaker 1: this is Look, Mika, she said she filed a report.
Speaker 1: She has her employment records still. She said she re
Speaker 1: filed a report with the only office that would have
Speaker 1: a report in the United States Senate at the time.
Speaker 1: If the report was ever filed, it was filed there period.
Speaker 1: According to Joe Biden at least didn't sound very convincing
Speaker 1: with that. And also, what exactly is in the University
Speaker 1: of Delaware archives about Joe Biden Senate record that's so
Speaker 1: concerned interesting, isn't it. Why wouldn't we have that that
Speaker 1: transparency that the university can hold these documents, but they're
Speaker 1: not able. They were going to be released. It's not
Speaker 1: classified stuff. So that's a total dodge. That's nonsense. They
Speaker 1: were going to be released. This came up in the interview,
Speaker 1: and then they decided to extend it, extend it beyond
Speaker 1: when Joe Biden is running. And it's because they think
Speaker 1: that there's OPO in there, there's opposition information that could
Speaker 1: be used by Trump or by anyone who's critical of
Speaker 1: Biden in a way that's gonna hurt his campaign chances. Well, gee,
Speaker 1: now we really want to see what's in the University
Speaker 1: of Delaware records, don't we. They were gonna they were
Speaker 1: gonna unseal it. And well, while Joe Biden was going
Speaker 1: to be a private citizen afterwards, you know, making millions
Speaker 1: and millions of dollars giving speeches. I would note, but
Speaker 1: he's gonna be a private citizen. And then they say
Speaker 1: no, no no, no, no, we can't release that. It'll hurt
Speaker 1: Joe Biden's presidential chances. HM makes me think that people
Speaker 1: really want to see what's in there, don't they. Joe,
Speaker 1: Remember this is this is the the Democrat maneuver. Sometimes
Speaker 1: you got to destroy records. It was Clinton's uh, national
Speaker 1: security advisor, Sandy Berger, who went into class classified archives
Speaker 1: and snuck documents out in his socks and destroyed them.
Speaker 1: That's not something when you'd been national security advisor you
Speaker 1: would do unless there was damning material in there that
Speaker 1: was going to ruin your and your president's legacy. We
Speaker 1: don't know what was in those documents doing because they
Speaker 1: were destroyed. The only copies on the handwritt note they
Speaker 1: were destroyed. Joe Biden, I'm wondering right now, how many
Speaker 1: weeks have they had to scrub the record of anything
Speaker 1: Tera Reid related. Oh no, the Democrats wouldn't. They wouldn't, like,
Speaker 1: you know, scrub it like with a cloth, like bleach
Speaker 1: bit a server. They wouldn't do that. Thanks for listening
Speaker 1: to the Bus Show past. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts,
Speaker 1: the iHeart Radio app, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 1: All right, as promised, we have the Secretary of State,
Speaker 1: Mike Pompeo with us right now. Mister Secretary, thank you
Speaker 1: so much, but it's great to be with you. Thanks
Speaker 1: for having me on a lot going on right now.
Speaker 1: China obviously the big focus from the international relations standpoint.
Speaker 1: There's a piece in the Washington Post that says China
Speaker 1: wasn't wild about Pompeo before the virus, it's really gunning
Speaker 1: for him now. And then it seems to list a
Speaker 1: bunch of state media propaganda directed at you as if
Speaker 1: you've somehow upset them. Mister secretary, what have you done
Speaker 1: to get the ire of the Chinese Communist Party? Yeah,
Speaker 1: buck to What we've tried to do, what Trump administration
Speaker 1: has tried to do, is just very simple. We've tried
Speaker 1: to get China to deal with us in a way
Speaker 1: that is fair and reciprocal. We saw most clearly at
Speaker 1: the front of administration on trade. But we've done the
Speaker 1: same thing diplomatically, the same thing militarily. And then we've
Speaker 1: had this moment, this moment where this virus began in Wuhan, China,
Speaker 1: and in spite of President Trump's best efforts, my best efforts,
Speaker 1: we've not been able to get our experts in to
Speaker 1: figure out what actually happened here. We have we of course,
Speaker 1: have two goals in that we have the goal of
Speaker 1: figuring out what happened here, How did this go down,
Speaker 1: why did it get out, how did it spread all
Speaker 1: side of the world's causing now more than fifty thousand
Speaker 1: losses of life in America, a couple hundred thousand all
Speaker 1: across the world. But so we need a responsibility and
Speaker 1: accountability for this outbreak. But it's really important buck we
Speaker 1: have to understand what happened to make sure something like
Speaker 1: this can't happen again. And so multiple labs inside of China,
Speaker 1: and our understanding of what takes place there is pretty limited,
Speaker 1: and there have been examples of leaks from those labs before,
Speaker 1: and we gotta this has been expensive, costly, a calamity
Speaker 1: around the world. We need to do our part, and
Speaker 1: there is responsibility. I'm part of the Chinese Communist Party
Speaker 1: to make sure something like this can never happen again.
Speaker 1: I don't know as to why they keep saying these
Speaker 1: things about me. This isn't personal. This is about protecting
Speaker 1: the American people, and we'll keep doing it. And what
Speaker 1: is the response you get from your Chinese counterparts in
Speaker 1: the Foreign ministry when you say we just want greater
Speaker 1: access in transparency about something that is obviously affecting the
Speaker 1: United States and the whole world. Do they have a reason,
Speaker 1: a rationale for why we shouldn't get the access that
Speaker 1: we want. You've seen the statements they've made publicly. They've
Speaker 1: claimed that they have been transparent, but of course, at
Speaker 1: least because of a day or two ago, we still
Speaker 1: didn't actually have a sample of the virus. We were
Speaker 1: still working to try to understand what the scope of
Speaker 1: the risk was. Answers about where this came from. They
Speaker 1: claimed they didn't know. And then in fact, those inside
Speaker 1: of China who have tried to talk about this, some
Speaker 1: of the people who have reported on it are those
Speaker 1: who have doctors who tried to talk about this back
Speaker 1: in January or earlier this year. We're denied access, which
Speaker 1: old don't talk about that stop, but they banned discussions
Speaker 1: of this early on. That's not the way partners work.
Speaker 1: Reliable partners work, Reliable partners share, they open up, especially
Speaker 1: when there's trouble. They go overboard to make sure everybody
Speaker 1: can understand how it came to be. That's all we've
Speaker 1: asked for. We hope that the Chinese Commerce Party will
Speaker 1: see their way clear to all the world to understand
Speaker 1: how the heck this virus got out of Wuhan, China
Speaker 1: and spread all across the world. We're speaking to Secretary
Speaker 1: of State Mike Pompeo. Mister Secretary, I want to ask
Speaker 1: you what about accountability. You know, there's already been some
Speaker 1: discussion of possible lawsuits against the Chinese Communist Party. How
Speaker 1: that goes, how far they go, remains to be seen.
Speaker 1: But down the line, could you foresee a situation where
Speaker 1: if in fact, it has proven that China acted irresponsibly
Speaker 1: to cover this up. Once we've gotten past obviously the
Speaker 1: most important thing right now dealing with the virus, will
Speaker 1: there be accountability for the Chinese Communist Party. Well, we've
Speaker 1: been focused on here now trying to keep America safe
Speaker 1: and healthy as best we can, and to get this
Speaker 1: economy cranked back up again so people get back to work,
Speaker 1: get out of their places that they're sheltering today. So
Speaker 1: that's been the predominant missions that we've add with respect
Speaker 1: to the virus. But there will come a time when
Speaker 1: we need to make sure that we understand what happened
Speaker 1: here and those responsible, those who took actions they prevented earlier. Notice,
Speaker 1: those took actions that allowed this virus to spread. You know,
Speaker 1: we've seen the narrative, which is that the virus began,
Speaker 1: and the Chinese Commist Party knew about it, didn't alert
Speaker 1: the world to it, and a timely fashion, the presidents
Speaker 1: talked about this. As we continue to investigate and we
Speaker 1: learned precisely what happened. I am confidence the whole world
Speaker 1: wants to know the answer to this, because the world
Speaker 1: has a right to know what happened and then ultimately
Speaker 1: holds those persons or those nations who engage in this
Speaker 1: activity that harmed the world to find a mechanism to
Speaker 1: hold them account. As you said, the party been some
Speaker 1: losses filed in the United States. I don't know what
Speaker 1: precisely the right mechanism is and what the President will
Speaker 1: ultimately choose, but we will present him a set of
Speaker 1: options once we know all the facts that hold those
Speaker 1: persons responsible for this accountable. And in Hong Kong there's
Speaker 1: been an additional crackdown from the Chinese government. I know
Speaker 1: that that's gotten some focus from you recently. Are they
Speaker 1: essentially trying to use the shroud of everyone dealing with
Speaker 1: this virus to get away with more repressive measures? And
Speaker 1: what can the US We have our handsful obviously with
Speaker 1: the virus, but to the degree that we can are
Speaker 1: we able to push back a bit on the crackdown
Speaker 1: in Hong Kong. We've made clear since early last year
Speaker 1: when we first started to see some of this activity
Speaker 1: in Hong Kong that are asked of the Chinese Communist
Speaker 1: Party was the same one that we make with respect
Speaker 1: to as far as show us what you're doing. You
Speaker 1: made a set of promises back in nineteen forty seven.
Speaker 1: You made a set of promises about one country and
Speaker 1: two systems. Live up to those international commitments. If you
Speaker 1: do those things, Hong Kong can continue to be the
Speaker 1: thriving place that those who had a chance to travel there. No,
Speaker 1: it's a big a financial hub, it's a place that
Speaker 1: has a different system inside of China. But they have
Speaker 1: obligon issues, they have duties. Promises not that we made
Speaker 1: or not that the British made, but that the Chinese
Speaker 1: Communist Party made. We asked them to live up to them.
Speaker 1: That's what I said last week when we saw some
Speaker 1: of the actions that they were taking, or at least
Speaker 1: contemplate taking, And that's what we continue to try and
Speaker 1: hold them accountable for. They have to live up to
Speaker 1: their international commitments. The world is watching these things and
Speaker 1: it's not hard to do. They ought to just simply
Speaker 1: do it. We're speaking Secretary of State Mike Pompeio. Mister Secretary,
Speaker 1: you and Senator Elizabeth Warren, former presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren,
Speaker 1: you had a bit of an exchange on Twitter. You
Speaker 1: told her that she should review the law again. Our
Speaker 1: rights under UN Security Council Resolution two two three one
Speaker 1: are separate from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action the JCPOA.
Speaker 1: But I'll put you down for Chinese arm sales to
Speaker 1: Iran on October eighteenth? Which weapon? Is it okay with you?
Speaker 1: If they send a couple of divisions of VT four tanks? Good,
Speaker 1: mister Secretary, just tell me this. What is this dispute about?
Speaker 1: What are you saying? And what is Elizabeth Warren's position? Well?
Speaker 1: President Trump came in knowing that the around Nikelodo was
Speaker 1: a disaster and got out of it in May of
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen. One of the reasons it was such a
Speaker 1: wreck was that most of the major provisions one permanent.
Speaker 1: They began to expire first. Such provisionous expires in October
Speaker 1: of this year just bucked just a handful of months away.
Speaker 1: So we can use every tool we have in our
Speaker 1: diplomatic get bank to ensure that come October of this year,
Speaker 1: the Chinese can't sell thanks, the Russians can't sell armaments.
Speaker 1: All conventional arms sales that this provision prohibits today will expire,
Speaker 1: and they'll be the world's largest state sponsor terry in Iran.
Speaker 1: We'll be able to purchase those weapons systems, and so
Speaker 1: we had a little bit of fun. But once editor
Speaker 1: Warren said, you know, goodness gracious, so you can't use
Speaker 1: the JCPO, we're not doing that. The United States has
Speaker 1: an unambigua unambiguous rate at the UN Security Council to
Speaker 1: keep these restrictions in place, and President Trump has made
Speaker 1: clear we're gonna make sure Irun never gets a nuclear weapon,
Speaker 1: and we'll get to deny them access to weapon systems
Speaker 1: to the maximum extent feasible. I think, given all the
Speaker 1: tough news these days these days, Secretary, before we let
Speaker 1: you go, I just wanted to ask what are some
Speaker 1: of the of the things that are going on at
Speaker 1: at the international level when it comes to ours and
Speaker 1: partners trying to help us deal with this, whether it's
Speaker 1: information sharing between scientists, between doctors and medical researchers around
Speaker 1: the world. Just is there anything you can speak to
Speaker 1: with regard to how our allies are coming through for us. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but that's a great question. We've had some friends or
Speaker 1: some great things. You know, first, we had tens of
Speaker 1: thousands of Americans stranded all across the world. Some of
Speaker 1: our friends have been fantastic and helping the State Department
Speaker 1: get now over seventy five thousand people back who had
Speaker 1: travel plans or they're on a mission trip and got
Speaker 1: stuck overseas and play and stop moving, and we were
Speaker 1: able to get them home. So that's been hardening to
Speaker 1: watch these other countries help us do that as well
Speaker 1: in difficult conditions with the virus. But as for the
Speaker 1: work being done on the virus itself, there is a
Speaker 1: global campaign of countries that have really talented epidemiologist, scientists,
Speaker 1: people who know chemistry working to find therapeutics and vaccines.
Speaker 1: You see the list of all of those that are
Speaker 1: in process. I'm very confident that we will find a
Speaker 1: good answer before too long, and it will be a
Speaker 1: global solution, one that no America will play a significant
Speaker 1: part in moving forward. Secretary of State Mike COOMPEII. Always
Speaker 1: appreciate your time, sir. Thanks again, Buck, Thank you, sir.
Speaker 1: I have a good day. You're in the Freedom Hut.
Speaker 1: This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. My question is,
Speaker 1: have you seen anything at this point that gives you
Speaker 1: a high degree of confidence that the Wuhan Institute of
Speaker 1: Barology was the origin of these virus? Yes, yes, I have.
Speaker 1: And I think that the World Health Organization should be
Speaker 1: ashamed of themselves because they're like the public relations agency
Speaker 1: for China, and this country pays them almost five hundred
Speaker 1: million dollars a year, and China pays them thirty eight
Speaker 1: million dollars a year. And whether it's a lot or more,
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter, it's still they shouldn't be making excuses
Speaker 1: when people make horrible mistakes, especially mistakes that are causing
Speaker 1: hundred of thousands of people around the world to die.
Speaker 1: I think the World Health organizations should be ashamed of themselves.
Speaker 1: And yet what's going to happen to the World Health Organization?
Speaker 1: Very little. I'm sure the Democrats, if they were to
Speaker 1: win the election this fall, will make sure they're funded.
Speaker 1: They won't even just restore any funding that Trump administration
Speaker 1: has considered withdrawing from them from you know, the US,
Speaker 1: the taxpayer giving the wh all this money. I bet
Speaker 1: the Democrats if Biden were to win, you know, if
Speaker 1: they can just carry Biden. This this really this kind
Speaker 1: of dottering, dottering old fool. I mean, it's it's gotten
Speaker 1: ridiculous now what we see happening in all of these
Speaker 1: press conferences. He's giving. But they're going to do it.
Speaker 1: They don't care. These people are really you know, the
Speaker 1: one thing about Democrats you have to remember is they
Speaker 1: are ruthless, absolutely ruthless. And they think they're the nice people.
Speaker 1: That's what's always so amazing. They think they're the sweethearts
Speaker 1: that care about the poor and the needy and the downtrodden.
Speaker 1: But they're ruthless and they don't give it. Do you
Speaker 1: think Pelosi gives a crap about the poor or the downtrodden.
Speaker 1: Come on, no one really believes that. Nobody really believes that.
Speaker 1: I guess some Libs do. It makes them feel makes
Speaker 1: them feel safe and warm at night, that that delusion
Speaker 1: is something that is helpful for them. It allows them
Speaker 1: to keep going and keep doing what they're doing. I
Speaker 1: want to know. We will talk about the storming of
Speaker 1: the storming of the capitol as it's being reported here
Speaker 1: with people in Michigan, armed protesters going to the Michigan Capital.
Speaker 1: People are sick of the lockdowns. We will get into
Speaker 1: that because we do have to reopen this country. And
Speaker 1: I'm really getting to the point now where I'm wondering
Speaker 1: when everyone's gonna wake up that the people in charge
Speaker 1: they don't have some great plan doesn't exist. Are brilliant scientists,
Speaker 1: they can't cure this thing. They don't know what to do.
Speaker 1: We have doctors who are trying to treat it, trying
Speaker 1: to keep people alive, thank you for that. But the
Speaker 1: medical community, in terms of research and medical policy at
Speaker 1: the highest levels, no answers this test and trace thing
Speaker 1: that they keep talking about. It's not going to happen.
Speaker 1: I mean, we might well do some of it. Here's
Speaker 1: what they haven't yet figured out. Are they going to
Speaker 1: mandate testing for everybody, meaning that you are the government
Speaker 1: obligates you to get a blood test every two weeks
Speaker 1: for you to be able to go out and work.
Speaker 1: Is that what's gonna because if you don't do that,
Speaker 1: people aren't going to take these tests. They're not going
Speaker 1: to do it. So, how are you going to get
Speaker 1: to twenty million tests today, which is what some people
Speaker 1: are talking about as needed for us to reopen. How
Speaker 1: do you get there if people won't do the tests.
Speaker 1: They're testing centers now all over the country that don't
Speaker 1: have very many clients. So what do they really think
Speaker 1: is going to happen here? How is this supposed to work?
Speaker 1: They don't have any answers. They don't have an answers.
Speaker 1: In fact, here I wanted to We're going to talk
Speaker 1: about the general Flynn situation, updates on that and in
Speaker 1: just a moment, but first just to give you a look.
Speaker 1: We got to talk about it because it affects all
Speaker 1: of us right now. And here you go. You've got
Speaker 1: the experts that CNN is currently is currently siting in
Speaker 1: this piece. I'm trying trying to find this piece right
Speaker 1: now telling us that turns out, here you go, the
Speaker 1: novel coronavirus is likely to keep spreading for at least
Speaker 1: another eighteen months to two years, until sixty to seventy
Speaker 1: percent of the population has been infected, along a team
Speaker 1: of long standing pandemic experts, predicted in a new report.
Speaker 1: So remember Flatten, the curve. I understand we were told
Speaker 1: flatten the curve because of hospital capacity. Hospital capacity was
Speaker 1: not even close to being overrun nationwide, and we had
Speaker 1: excess capacity in New York City. It was a strain
Speaker 1: on hospitals for sure, But there were not people dying
Speaker 1: in the hallways by the hundreds who couldn't get any doctor,
Speaker 1: couldn't get a ventilator. That was all not true, and
Speaker 1: that was why we were told to flatten the curve.
Speaker 1: Now some of us turn around to look and say,
Speaker 1: hold on a minute, why are we going to keep
Speaker 1: flattening the curve across the whole country when these epidemiologists
Speaker 1: who have been part of here here, I mean, this
Speaker 1: is a highly highly respected group that this is all
Speaker 1: they do is look at pandemic disease and spread there
Speaker 1: you go. This is from the Center for Infectious Disease
Speaker 1: Research and Policy sid RAP at the University of Minnesota.
Speaker 1: The idea that this is going to be done, sue,
Speaker 1: defies microbiology. They're telling us that the seventy percent of
Speaker 1: people are going to get infected. Now, let's understand that
Speaker 1: that is herd immunity. What they're telling what these epidemies
Speaker 1: so so someone needs to tell me if they're wrong,
Speaker 1: because if we're flattening the curve just because we're scared
Speaker 1: and we want to pretend that something better is going
Speaker 1: to happen, we're destroying our economy. We're giving up all
Speaker 1: of our freedoms and individual liberties because we're hoping that
Speaker 1: in a month or some miraculous cure burges. When we
Speaker 1: are destroying our economy, we're doing this isn't like this
Speaker 1: is cost for This is a horrible stuff that's going on,
Speaker 1: and we're not even in the aggregate. And this is
Speaker 1: the piece that people don't seem to want to grasp.
Speaker 1: We're not even protecting people from infection long term, We're
Speaker 1: just slowing the rate of infection. Well, why are you
Speaker 1: slowing the rate of infection so that you don't overwhelm
Speaker 1: the hospitals. Hospitals aren't even close to being overwhelmed. So
Speaker 1: why are we slowing a rate of infection nationwide when
Speaker 1: it's not even close to overwhelming hospitals. If the epidemiologists
Speaker 1: here are saying that basically, we got to get a
Speaker 1: lot of people infected for this thing to go away,
Speaker 1: I'm not I mean, I'm not making this up. This
Speaker 1: is not some crazy I'm reading what the experts are saying.
Speaker 1: I thought this all along that the only way, the
Speaker 1: only way past is virus is going to be through it. Yes,
Speaker 1: staff up, Yes, do what you can. Yes, protect the
Speaker 1: vulnerable number sixty to seventy percent of the population. If
Speaker 1: seventy percent of the low risk population. So if seventy
Speaker 1: percent of people in the country, but it's you know,
Speaker 1: ninety nine percent of that seventy percent, let's say, are
Speaker 1: under the age. I know this is getting a little
Speaker 1: bit confusing, but under the age of seventy we're gonna,
Speaker 1: you know, we'll be okay. And then then the at
Speaker 1: risk population because of the vectors of disease being much less,
Speaker 1: meaning that a healthy thirty year old is going to
Speaker 1: come into contact or sorry, an immune thirty year old
Speaker 1: is going to come into contact with an infected thirty
Speaker 1: year old and therefore won't get the virus and then
Speaker 1: spread it to their grandma at home. If this is
Speaker 1: what we're heading for, then protecting vulnerable populations, but allowing
Speaker 1: the younger and less susceptible to this to go back
Speaker 1: to life and go back to work. That's the only answer,
Speaker 1: and this continued. Flatten the curve flat and the curve
Speaker 1: fly on the curve doesn't make any sense. It doesn't
Speaker 1: make sense, folks. We need to face up to this.
Speaker 1: Thanks for listening to The Bus Sesson Show podcasts. Remember
Speaker 1: to subscribe on Apple podcast, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever
Speaker 1: you get your podcasts. Well, it looks to me like
Speaker 1: Michael Flynn would be exonerated based on everything I see.
Speaker 1: Come not the judge. But I have a different type
Speaker 1: of power, but I don't know that anybody would have
Speaker 1: to use that power. I think he's exonerated everything. I've
Speaker 1: never seen anything like it. What they did, what they wrote.
Speaker 1: You see this, General, you wouldn't want this happening to you.
Speaker 1: What they did to General Flynn, and it's just disgraceful.
Speaker 1: It is disgraceful. But it's important that we understand exactly
Speaker 1: why and how bad it was and push for accountability.
Speaker 1: Justice for Flynn and accountability for those who clearly set
Speaker 1: him up. We got Sean Davis with us now. He's
Speaker 1: been writing on this all week and he is as
Speaker 1: up on it as anyone. He is with the Federalist,
Speaker 1: he's a co founder there. Go to the Federalist dot
Speaker 1: Com for his latest shown. Good to have you back,
Speaker 1: good to be here, Thank you for having me. All right,
Speaker 1: my man, let's go. You tell me this piece in particular,
Speaker 1: FBI closed the Flynn case dub Crossfire Razor in early
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen. Then what happened? Yes, it's fascinating. So we
Speaker 1: learned from documents filed yesterday that it had been unearthed
Speaker 1: by a US attorney out of Saint Louis, Missouri at
Speaker 1: bars urging. And these documents showed that the FBI, after
Speaker 1: investigating Michael Flynn for who knows how long, found no
Speaker 1: evidence that he had done anything illegal, no evidence that
Speaker 1: he was a secret of Russian agent, no evidence that
Speaker 1: he'd broken laws, no evidence that he'd had any illegal conversations.
Speaker 1: And on January fourth, twenty seventeen, the FBI actually was
Speaker 1: getting ready to close the case, and in fact, the
Speaker 1: case should have been closed per text from Peter Strock,
Speaker 1: who said it was only still open because of what
Speaker 1: he termed FBI incompetence. But Peter Struck intervened at the
Speaker 1: last minute, said hey, hey, hey, I need you to
Speaker 1: keep that case open. You keep that case open. He
Speaker 1: texted the case agent. And what I'm fascinating about this
Speaker 1: does that happened on January fourth they knew Flynn had
Speaker 1: nothing wrong, they put it in running. On January fifth,
Speaker 1: in Yovlofice, Obama, James Komy and Saliates and Susan Rice
Speaker 1: have a secret meeting. On January sixth, Komi goes in
Speaker 1: and briefs Trump on the dossier. On the tenth, it
Speaker 1: leads to CNN, and then on the twelfth, we got
Speaker 1: probably the worst crime to happen yet. And this entire
Speaker 1: collusion hoax was an illegal league to Washington Post calumnist
Speaker 1: David Ignatius, detailing allegedly transcripts of phone calls between Flynn
Speaker 1: and the Russian ambassador done as part of Flynn's job
Speaker 1: in raising the specter of the Logan Act. So put
Speaker 1: all together, you can see the fix was in for Flynn.
Speaker 1: We're pissed they didn't have the evidence on him, so
Speaker 1: they cooked up that out of nowhere, this Logan Act nonsense,
Speaker 1: and then perpetrated illegal leagues against him to quote, in
Speaker 1: their words, get him fired. Yeah. I've got to say,
Speaker 1: Sean that the new information, in particular, it seems to
Speaker 1: me that we have to. We have to start. You know,
Speaker 1: one part of this that has always been a very
Speaker 1: a very clear objective from the media angle, has been
Speaker 1: to make sure that that the Obama administration component of
Speaker 1: this is never discussed. You brought up this this secret meeting.
Speaker 1: It is completely to me. It is unfathomable and not
Speaker 1: in the least credible that Obama's appointee FBI director would
Speaker 1: not have been brief in this. Remember, the people that
Speaker 1: were making these decisions came and struck and others. They
Speaker 1: very much We're trying to justify this behavior that they
Speaker 1: were doing. So why wouldn't if their actions were legitimate,
Speaker 1: if they really thought that this was a national security
Speaker 1: threat that the incoming National security advisor posed, wouldn't they
Speaker 1: be obligated to at least inform Obama. I don't believe
Speaker 1: that they kept too. How would they keep him out
Speaker 1: of this? That makes no sense. No, I think we
Speaker 1: now know that this, this entire hoax and this entire
Speaker 1: attempt against Trump went to the very top of the
Speaker 1: US government at the time. And I don't think we
Speaker 1: even have to really go out on a limb to
Speaker 1: do that, because, again, according to texts from our good
Speaker 1: friend Peter Struck. When he had texted the agent to say,
Speaker 1: you need to keep this case open. He immediately texted
Speaker 1: Lisa Page, because the two of them, per Trump, were
Speaker 1: the lovers. Texted her just minutes after he was able
Speaker 1: to keep the case open and said, Hey, it's still open.
Speaker 1: Isn't this amazing? And by the way, the seventh floor
Speaker 1: is in charge of this, the seventh floor being a
Speaker 1: reference to the director's suite, James Coomy. So it is
Speaker 1: it is not conceivable to me that this thing was
Speaker 1: magically reopened, even though there's no evidence according to the
Speaker 1: FBI that the seventh floor, Komey and McCay were involved,
Speaker 1: and that the very next day Comey, Yates, and Obama
Speaker 1: and Susan Rice meet to talk about it. And the
Speaker 1: reason we know about that January fifth meeting because Susan
Speaker 1: Rice pinned this very odd email to herself the moment
Speaker 1: Trump was being inaugurated on January twenty, twenty seventeen, saying, Oh,
Speaker 1: I just want to posterity to know I did everything
Speaker 1: by the book here. Everything was all good. We didn't
Speaker 1: do anything illegal. Obama trouble us to do it by
Speaker 1: the book. If that's not a smoking gun about what
Speaker 1: they were up to with Flynn. Then I don't know
Speaker 1: what it is. I think that's hilarious, by the way,
Speaker 1: the old the old shoot the email to yourself that
Speaker 1: says I was a good person who did not break
Speaker 1: the law. Period. These people have got to be kidding me.
Speaker 1: But you know, I'm sure fake Tapper is going to
Speaker 1: be all over that one. Sean, Well, I'm sure he'll
Speaker 1: be all over it once he gets out of everyone's
Speaker 1: dms complaining that they're not being nice enough to him
Speaker 1: on the internet. Yeah, that's probably true. We're talking to
Speaker 1: Sean Davis of the Federalist. Sean also, just what is
Speaker 1: it that we now are waiting for in terms of
Speaker 1: the federal judge that's looking at the case and where
Speaker 1: we stand with possible exoneration. We're hoping the president doesn't
Speaker 1: have to use a pardon because we all know if
Speaker 1: the president pardons him, even though in any reasonable world
Speaker 1: he should be pardoned. This is completely insane, and we've
Speaker 1: got we've got FBI agents who are one weren't even
Speaker 1: sure that he How can you be not sure that
Speaker 1: he lied? And then and then have Mueller charged him
Speaker 1: for lying later two had no real objective reason for
Speaker 1: even talking to him. I mean, look, I was in
Speaker 1: the CIA, I used to work with FBI guys. Sometimes
Speaker 1: if they had saddled up next to me, like we
Speaker 1: were getting coffee at the machine, They're like, hey, Buck, like,
Speaker 1: you know, remember that thing you did yesterday with that guy?
Speaker 1: How did that go? And I was like, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: and I got something, I said something wrong. I wouldn't
Speaker 1: expect them to slap the cuffs on me. I mean
Speaker 1: unless I was talking about, you know, selling drugs on
Speaker 1: the side or something. But that's where we're that's where
Speaker 1: we're up against here. They were having a collegial conversation
Speaker 1: with someone that was the National Security advisor, and then
Speaker 1: they tried to get him to lie. They even said it,
Speaker 1: according to the notes from the top FBI counter intelligence official,
Speaker 1: which he came out earlier this week. He said, I mean,
Speaker 1: what's the point here. Are we wanting me to get
Speaker 1: the truth or we trying to get him to lie
Speaker 1: to get him fired? And I think that's what's so distressing,
Speaker 1: and made the point that the agents involved in this
Speaker 1: initially said PERCOMI perk for their own notes, we don't
Speaker 1: think he lie there's no indication that he was lying.
Speaker 1: But we get to go back to the struct text,
Speaker 1: because you've got to love that this whole thing came
Speaker 1: crashing down because these two people couldn't keep it in
Speaker 1: their pants and then couldn't keep their discussions off of
Speaker 1: government cell phones. Just to show you the level of
Speaker 1: incompetence we're dealing with here. They almost got away with
Speaker 1: it if not for that. But according to Peter Struck's texts,
Speaker 1: he told me a page oh yeah, yeah, that three
Speaker 1: h two. I basically had to completely rewrite it, or
Speaker 1: I tried not to completely rewrite it, but I had
Speaker 1: to edit it and still keep it in the voice
Speaker 1: of the agent who actually wrote the original form, the
Speaker 1: agent being Joe Pincus. So we have Struck in his
Speaker 1: own words, admitting that weeks after the fact, he was
Speaker 1: going back and editing the original form to make it
Speaker 1: say things that we think didn't actually happen. What happens now, Sean,
Speaker 1: you think that we're going to see I'm Ever since
Speaker 1: the McCabe non prosecution decision was made, which I predicted
Speaker 1: and was correct, I've been saying all along, guys, don't
Speaker 1: expect any don't expect anybody that this system likes that
Speaker 1: they still because Flynn was outside the system. Even though
Speaker 1: he was of the system, they hated him. Right there
Speaker 1: are people inside of it, and this is true of
Speaker 1: Brennan and the way he feels about other government employees
Speaker 1: who are tied to Tromp. Right there, there are people
Speaker 1: who are not part of the cool kid club, and
Speaker 1: that means that you're going to have this level of
Speaker 1: immunity even when your moufeasance comes to the surfaces, as
Speaker 1: happened with McCay blind and the Oarth. He's not going
Speaker 1: to prison, he's not even being charged. Do you think
Speaker 1: that there's gonna be Do you think there'll be any
Speaker 1: accountability here as we get more of this information or
Speaker 1: do you think that this is just going to be
Speaker 1: a political issue. I don't know. So there's two issues.
Speaker 1: There's the Flynn case issue and then there's you know,
Speaker 1: the larger FBI and dj corruption issue. With the Flynn case,
Speaker 1: he's got two motions. Pen One is to withdraw his
Speaker 1: guilty plea. He's got a whole bunch of reasons he's
Speaker 1: put in writing with the court for why he should
Speaker 1: be able to withdraw it. And the other is a
Speaker 1: motion to dismiss the case entirely due to egregious government misconduct. Now,
Speaker 1: the judge in that case has a history of throwing
Speaker 1: the book it corrupt federal law enforcement initials who try
Speaker 1: to frame people. They did it the Ted Stevens case.
Speaker 1: But he's also a complete wild card. He had a
Speaker 1: couple of outbursts earlier in the case where he personally
Speaker 1: called Flynn a trader, he attacked Flynn's attorney. So what
Speaker 1: he's going to do? I don't have any idea. I
Speaker 1: think Justice demands that this case be dismissed with prejudice
Speaker 1: and that all these people involved, would it be investigated
Speaker 1: for corruption. I don't have any idea what Sullivan's going
Speaker 1: to do there. And this is perhaps of greater interest
Speaker 1: to you and me and other conservative media people, But
Speaker 1: I've seen some of the irrationalizations for the new one.
Speaker 1: Remember now we have the FBI and their own writing saying,
Speaker 1: how do we get him to lie? What's the you know, basically,
Speaker 1: we're gonna use the Logan Act, which everyone as a
Speaker 1: joke and preposterous, where we're going to completely just do
Speaker 1: everything we can to nail this guy. They obviously were
Speaker 1: after him, and you know, I think it was was it?
Speaker 1: Um Warren Buffett who said, if the if the cops
Speaker 1: trail you for five hundred miles, are going to find
Speaker 1: a reason to pull you over, that's true. Okay, that's reality. Um,
Speaker 1: and we know all of this stuff. What are the rationalizations?
Speaker 1: I mean I saw, I mean, he's not a he's
Speaker 1: not actually technically a liberal. But you know, formerly of
Speaker 1: National Review, David French talking about how Flynn was doing
Speaker 1: bad stuff for Turkey, Like, is that where we're going now?
Speaker 1: Because it seems like Frim was free, Flynn was framed.
Speaker 1: Is beyond dispute? Well, French, would you said you wouldn't
Speaker 1: call him a liberal. I wouldn't call him a conservative.
Speaker 1: I call him an absolute disgrace. Um, this is a
Speaker 1: guy who praised Adam Schiff when he was lying about
Speaker 1: the FISA warrants, when he lied about the Steele dossier,
Speaker 1: when he lied about Devin dune as his report. Um,
Speaker 1: he's someone who attacked Flynn years ago, who said there
Speaker 1: was absolutely no evidence of an FBI cover up. And
Speaker 1: the sad reality is that his morality and his brain
Speaker 1: have been completely corrupted by Trump derangement, and rather than
Speaker 1: looking at the facts and looking at the principles at stake,
Speaker 1: he just goes Orange, Man bad, Flynn man bad. Facts
Speaker 1: will matter, He's bad, He needed to go. And it's
Speaker 1: really just a sad state of affairs that these people
Speaker 1: are so deranged that they can't admit they had got
Speaker 1: the central issue really of our generation, of our government,
Speaker 1: the greatest scandal in American government history. They can't just
Speaker 1: admit they got it wrong. Do you think there's any
Speaker 1: chance that Trump if the case is thrown out, let's say,
Speaker 1: or if they ask for a new trial and the
Speaker 1: federal government just drops the charges, you think there's any
Speaker 1: chance the Trump will bring him back in the administration.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I've seen people joking about putting Flynn
Speaker 1: in his head of the FBI to replace Christopher Ray.
Speaker 1: Now I don't know if that would be the best idea,
Speaker 1: but there would be a certain amount of poetic justice
Speaker 1: in that. But yeah, I don't know if he'll bring
Speaker 1: him back in the thing I'm focused on is that
Speaker 1: the guy deserves justice. Facts that are to come out.
Speaker 1: This case was built on nothing but lies, and it
Speaker 1: needs to be thrown out so that the pardon never
Speaker 1: becomes necessary. This needs to be thrown out within the system.
Speaker 1: Is an example of how corrupt the entire thing was.
Speaker 1: I agree Sean Davis. Everybody the Federalist dot Com go
Speaker 1: check out his latest Theory's doing great work on this, Sean.
Speaker 1: Have a good weekend. Thanks so much for joining us.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Buck, You're in the Freedom Hud. This is
Speaker 1: the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Mark Conko with the Patch says,
Speaker 1: where's the first lady? Is she accompanied by a state
Speaker 1: security detail? Has she engaged in non essential travel? What
Speaker 1: is your response to people who say the stay at
Speaker 1: home order and non essential travel bands aren't being abided
Speaker 1: by your family. I believe there's a report for Millinoire
Speaker 1: Rising Action that says that she recently traveled to Florida. Well,
Speaker 1: first of all, I want to say that in politics,
Speaker 1: it used to be that we kept our families out
Speaker 1: of it. You know, my official duties have nothing to
Speaker 1: do with my family. So I'm just not going to
Speaker 1: answer that question. It's inappropriate, and I find it reprehensible,
Speaker 1: honestly that that reporter wrote a story about it. Oh
Speaker 1: you mean that do as I say, not as I do?
Speaker 1: Is now the ethical position for politicians to take in
Speaker 1: the midst of a lockdown pandemic that if you look
Speaker 1: at what's happening now, I'm going to keep saying it
Speaker 1: doesn't This is not making that. What we're doing doesn't
Speaker 1: make sense. Shutting down all these businesses doesn't make sense
Speaker 1: unless they think that somehow we're going to be able
Speaker 1: to eradicate the virus. It does not make sense if
Speaker 1: we're heading for herd immunity. Yeah, and they're not saving lives, folks,
Speaker 1: because at the same if the same number of people
Speaker 1: are going to get infected. You know, if seventy percent
Speaker 1: of one hundred people get infected over the course of
Speaker 1: six months versus seventy percent of one hundred people getting
Speaker 1: infected over the course of three months, you have the
Speaker 1: same number of infected people, the same risk to them,
Speaker 1: the same thankly outcome from a health perspective. So what
Speaker 1: do we And then they say, oh, well that the
Speaker 1: health system can't be overwhelmed. I keep looking at this,
Speaker 1: saying the hospitals are closing for lack of activity. What
Speaker 1: is not getting through to these people, Oh, it's just
Speaker 1: this is this is a pandemic of fear as well
Speaker 1: as a pandemic from a virus. But but back to
Speaker 1: Governor Pritzker here. First of all, this guy I like,
Speaker 1: I don't pay much attention to the governors in other
Speaker 1: states because I can't. I mean, there're only a few
Speaker 1: that I follow with any regularity. It's pretty much New York, Texas, California, Florida,
Speaker 1: you know, some of the larger states by population. I know,
Speaker 1: Illinois a large state, but I don't. I don't know
Speaker 1: that much about Pritzker, but I just know that whatever
Speaker 1: whatever someone's like, hey, billionaire man, isn't your wife going
Speaker 1: to your mansion in Florida even though the rest of
Speaker 1: us are on a lockdown order and told only essential travel?
Speaker 1: But but for her, essential travel is just you know,
Speaker 1: getting sunlight on the beach in the mansion, right, that's
Speaker 1: essential traveler. I used to think that families were left
Speaker 1: out of this. That's not an answer. That's not an answer.
Speaker 1: This is a problem. We're going to continue to see
Speaker 1: this separation of those who are still getting a paycheck
Speaker 1: and those who are really scrambling and trying to figure
Speaker 1: out how they're going to keep their you know, people
Speaker 1: have pulled together a certain kind of life for themselves.
Speaker 1: You know, people that are working, they have you know,
Speaker 1: they have savings, they have a job, they have a
Speaker 1: future in mind, they have all these things and that
Speaker 1: has been ripped from them. And it's not helpful for
Speaker 1: wealthy smug elites to tell those people shut up, peasant,
Speaker 1: you don't need a haircut right now, which is what
Speaker 1: you're still hearing from a lot of folks, a lot
Speaker 1: of people that have platforms and have power. You're not allowed,
Speaker 1: you're not allowed to point out that this is turning
Speaker 1: into the biggest economic disaster in the history of this country,
Speaker 1: which it is. This is going to be disastrous. I know.
Speaker 1: We had my friend Porter Stansbury on the show yesterday
Speaker 1: and he's very smart and there's a lot more about
Speaker 1: finance than I do, But I watch politics and politics
Speaker 1: is driving this ship, not economics. And the political damage
Speaker 1: that we're doing to ourselves here is stunning and it
Speaker 1: may be irreparable. And I mean the political damage, as
Speaker 1: in the politics driving decisions about the economy. We seem
Speaker 1: to think we're just gonna be able to put all
Speaker 1: this back together. The longer we wait, the longer we
Speaker 1: do this, that's not going to be the case, my friends,
Speaker 1: and we're heading toward what thirty trillion in debt by
Speaker 1: the end of the year if we keep doing this.
Speaker 1: They're talking about a trillion dollars for state and local governments.
Speaker 1: Are you're going to have bailout of industry after bailout
Speaker 1: of industry. This money is all coming from us, you know,
Speaker 1: this money is all coming really future generations. You know,
Speaker 1: it's it's the people in charge. And you know there's
Speaker 1: been a you know, unfortunately, a lack of of any
Speaker 1: future planning for future generations that has defined the United
Speaker 1: States government for the last thirty or forty years. You know,
Speaker 1: they don't really care about what this is going to
Speaker 1: do to the America of the future. It's the people
Speaker 1: that are making the decisions now. You know. They want
Speaker 1: the biggest benefits. They want to run up, the debts
Speaker 1: they want to run up, doesn't matter. And this is
Speaker 1: this is for the rest of us who are sitting
Speaker 1: here saying, hold on a second thirty trillion, guys, we
Speaker 1: can't do this. They don't have an answer other than
Speaker 1: you know, be quiet, you don't need a haircut. Well,
Speaker 1: actually we do need aircuts. Unless the producer Mark gets
Speaker 1: himself a haircut though, So that's the good news. At
Speaker 1: least he's taken My wife gives me the haircut. Oh
Speaker 1: she does it for you, yes, well before quarantine as
Speaker 1: that was, you know, so you guys, she's an old
Speaker 1: pro at this exactly. I look, fine, that's good news,
Speaker 1: but I'm telling you we're gonna reach We're gonna reach
Speaker 1: this non compliance phase of this, and we should reach
Speaker 1: a non compliance phase of this, because it's it's absurd. Now,
Speaker 1: this is getting crazy. Okay, May fifteenth, that's it. No more,
Speaker 1: no more mandatory quarantine. If states have to make some
Speaker 1: adjustments here or there because they have a particular issue
Speaker 1: and the numbers really do justify, fine, but after May fifteenth, man,
Speaker 1: we should be open for business. That doesn't mean an
Speaker 1: end to social distancing, no wearing of masks and closed quarter.
Speaker 1: You know it doesn't. It's not saying throw everything out
Speaker 1: that we've learned, but this can't keep going. Thanks for
Speaker 1: listening to The bus Stson Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe
Speaker 1: on Apple podcasts, the iHeart Radio app, or wherever you
Speaker 1: get your podcasts. The scene in Michigan is one that
Speaker 1: I think you're going to see replayed in other places
Speaker 1: around the country. Let me also say, when I said
Speaker 1: May fifteenth got to open, I'm in New York. I'm
Speaker 1: talking about New York should open May fifteenth. I'm not
Speaker 1: talking about the rest of the rest of the country,
Speaker 1: as far as I'm concerned, should be open now for business,
Speaker 1: open for business. It's going to be phased. Businesses won't open,
Speaker 1: some places will choose to stay closed. It's about the mandate.
Speaker 1: People need to understand there's a component here that's about
Speaker 1: freedom and choice and making your own assessments about risk,
Speaker 1: which is what we do in our daily lives all
Speaker 1: the time. The across the board lockdown is the problem.
Speaker 1: I am not saying there is right now no future
Speaker 1: in which we just wake up tomorrow and say, okay,
Speaker 1: we're just gonna go about life and there's no problem here.
Speaker 1: But there is a future in which we could say,
Speaker 1: all right, if you want to open up your nail
Speaker 1: salon and you want to have your employees, you know,
Speaker 1: wear masks or take some indoor precautions. They're willing to
Speaker 1: show up, and there are customers who are willing to
Speaker 1: show up as well. You should be able to do that.
Speaker 1: You know, if you want to have your furniture store open.
Speaker 1: If you want to do these things, you should be
Speaker 1: able to do that. And if you want to stay
Speaker 1: home and you know, still get the paycheck protection program
Speaker 1: stuff going, and you know you want to wait, and
Speaker 1: you want to wait till July, you want to wait
Speaker 1: till August, you have that right as well. But we
Speaker 1: need to allow. The problem alive right now is that
Speaker 1: we're not letting people make these choices. And I know
Speaker 1: they say, oh, but it's because you're you're risking other people.
Speaker 1: That that's not necessarily the case. I mean, you're risking
Speaker 1: other people. You a vast majority that people aren't infected,
Speaker 1: So you're not risking other people, right, I mean, And
Speaker 1: at what point is this too much? At what point
Speaker 1: are we extending this into a lack of tolerance for
Speaker 1: risk that's completely unmanageable for society overall, And we simply
Speaker 1: just can't do it. So I've gotta tell you it's trumping.
Speaker 1: So anyway, in Michigan, what's going on right now? As
Speaker 1: you had a bunch of a few hundred protesters who
Speaker 1: went inside, they said stormed the capital. I don't know
Speaker 1: if it's really you know, storming the capital. Sounds like
Speaker 1: they've seized it, and they did not seize it. They
Speaker 1: went there. A lot of them have flags and are
Speaker 1: open carry, and open carry isn't The media is always
Speaker 1: terrified of anyone who does open carry in a political context,
Speaker 1: even when it's completely legal and under state law. There's
Speaker 1: nothing that we saw this in Virginia where you had
Speaker 1: all these open carry Second Amendment advocates and they would say,
Speaker 1: I think freedom and Constitution advocates who showed up to
Speaker 1: the capital. Not a single act of violence, not a
Speaker 1: single shot fired. You know, nobody's nobody's threatening anybody else.
Speaker 1: They're just saying, look, we're allowed to carry, so we're
Speaker 1: going to carry because we're citizens, not subjects. We are
Speaker 1: not serfs. We are not here to do whatever the
Speaker 1: government tells us to do all the time. That's not
Speaker 1: how this works. That's not the fundamental, the underlying and
Speaker 1: foundational relationship that we have with our government. And it
Speaker 1: feels like our government has forgotten that lately. It feels
Speaker 1: like the government has started to think that well, because
Speaker 1: there's some science consensus sort of maybe that changes on
Speaker 1: any given day. Because of all of that, Uh, they
Speaker 1: can just override the Constitution and all of our most
Speaker 1: basic rights. Nope, there is not some special area of
Speaker 1: the Constitution that says, well, and unless you think there's
Speaker 1: a really bad virus out there, and then you can
Speaker 1: tell people to stay locked in their homes. This is
Speaker 1: this is nuts with the You know, at some point
Speaker 1: there is going to be people are going to have
Speaker 1: nervous breakdowns and they're going to start saying, I don't
Speaker 1: care what the local sheriff is going to do or
Speaker 1: the local cops are going to do, I'm going out.
Speaker 1: I want to try to open my business. And people
Speaker 1: have already started to do this. They're effectively daring the
Speaker 1: government to say you're not allowed to you're not allowed
Speaker 1: to live until we say you can live. You can't
Speaker 1: live your life. No, that's on pause because we say so.
Speaker 1: This is this is a problem, my friends, This is
Speaker 1: This is what it sounded like on the on the
Speaker 1: floor of the Michigan State Capitol yesterday with these hundreds
Speaker 1: of protesters chanting let us in. They did not, in
Speaker 1: fact let them in, but the point was made. They're
Speaker 1: not going to allow for the continuation of the government.
Speaker 1: The governor there, I mean Widmer in particular, her policies
Speaker 1: has just been decronian an absurd. It's not protecting anyone,
Speaker 1: not saving anyone. The power to make these determinations comes
Speaker 1: from from what exactly. Remember, the power to quarantine is
Speaker 1: well established. If someone is sick, that person then poses
Speaker 1: with a virus that we all know or some kind
Speaker 1: of a an infection that we know is a threat
Speaker 1: to people around them, that person then does pose some
Speaker 1: risk to those around them. And so to say that
Speaker 1: you need to be quarantined if you are sick, that's
Speaker 1: one thing, and there are complexities there too, and that's
Speaker 1: not always as straightforward a proposition as we'd like it
Speaker 1: to be. But to say you might have a virus
Speaker 1: today or tomorrow or next month, we don't know, but
Speaker 1: you're going to stay home until we say so, that
Speaker 1: is mass house arrest and that is unacceptable. That can't
Speaker 1: continue as it is. And I'm seeing the the rise
Speaker 1: in Oh the models are predicting a big second spike.
Speaker 1: All the models are predicting, yes, there will be more
Speaker 1: cases of this. There's no future in which there are
Speaker 1: not more cases of this. So everyone, everyone who's doing
Speaker 1: all the scaremongering needs to just say what they really mean,
Speaker 1: are you telling us that you want us to stay
Speaker 1: in lockdown until the virus goes away, which is going
Speaker 1: to be at least a year or two from now,
Speaker 1: or are you claiming that any reopening and return to
Speaker 1: normal or something approaching normal life For three hundred and
Speaker 1: twenty million Americans who, based on the data out of California,
Speaker 1: are at a point zero three risk of death from this,
Speaker 1: you're going to tell them that to stay at home
Speaker 1: for how long? Oh? No? If they don't do that,
Speaker 1: then we're all like mass murderers who want granted at
Speaker 1: I mean, this is this is absurd. This is absurd.
Speaker 1: And if the ultimate goal, if they it sounds to
Speaker 1: me increasing like the epidemiologists don't want to admit this,
Speaker 1: the ones that are getting quoted in the media at
Speaker 1: the time, But we are actually heading for like most
Speaker 1: of the country getting infected. Over remember initially it was
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, most of the country's going to get
Speaker 1: infected and two million people will die. Well, now we're
Speaker 1: back to here, Well, it looks like most of the country.
Speaker 1: When I say most, I meet it sixty to seventy percent.
Speaker 1: That was that was the the estimate from these epidemiologists
Speaker 1: that CNN was quoting. He might say, Buck, why do
Speaker 1: you believe them? And you know, other does anyone deny that?
Speaker 1: I want to see a refutation of this. How do
Speaker 1: we prevent sixty percent of the population over the next
Speaker 1: twelve to eighteen months from being infected with this? What
Speaker 1: are we supposed to shut down forever? Because if you
Speaker 1: don't shut down forever, then you are looking like you're
Speaker 1: going to have mass And I've already had. New York
Speaker 1: is already twenty percent, twenty five percent. So you know,
Speaker 1: you look around and you say, I know, how far
Speaker 1: away are we from this making? You know, and it's
Speaker 1: only been here, It's been here for a few months.
Speaker 1: Another important thing. I just want to note this for
Speaker 1: people keep talking about how this versus a you know,
Speaker 1: this versus a year of flu. The flu season is
Speaker 1: like five to six months long, and we've been dealing
Speaker 1: with this for a good portion of a flu season.
Speaker 1: But if we're going to compare things, let's at least
Speaker 1: compare them accurately. You know, the the the real, the
Speaker 1: real flu deaths occur around the same period of time
Speaker 1: that the deaths from the Wuhan coronavirus have been occurring
Speaker 1: during the calendar year. Just keep saying everyone talk about
Speaker 1: this as though it's either they're annualizing or they're making
Speaker 1: this a a yearly number, when it's like, well, this
Speaker 1: is actually about three This is about a six month
Speaker 1: period that you're gaging year and a year out from
Speaker 1: upper respiratory infection. I know that's a little bit perhaps
Speaker 1: in the weeds on this, but I do think that's
Speaker 1: a worthwhile point to keep in mind. Liberate Michigan. Trump
Speaker 1: tweeted out, I think he's you know, he's in a
Speaker 1: tough spot here because he wants businesses to reopen, but
Speaker 1: he also knows that the left and lives are going
Speaker 1: to pounce on him the moment they get an opportunity,
Speaker 1: the second that there's any opening here for the president
Speaker 1: to get blamed for this, they'll do it. So he's
Speaker 1: trying to encourage the states to make these decisions, in
Speaker 1: part because that's right constitutionally, but also because he knows
Speaker 1: that if he's the one that's making the final call,
Speaker 1: especially if it's in a very blue state, it'll all
Speaker 1: be on him. But it is just I can't emphasize
Speaker 1: this enough. We need to reopen or things are going
Speaker 1: to get much worse in every respect. We need to
Speaker 1: start going back to work, and that's remember. Going back
Speaker 1: to work doesn't mean that we don't have these problems.
Speaker 1: And it's not going to be a celebratory thing. It'll
Speaker 1: be a bit of an exhale. Maybe it'll be a
Speaker 1: little bit of progress, there'll be some relief from it,
Speaker 1: but it's not going to be Yay. We're not all better,
Speaker 1: we're not out of the woods, but the alternative is
Speaker 1: just insane. And we've been waiting and waiting and waiting.
Speaker 1: Two weeks of shutdown. I've told you two weeks is shutdown,
Speaker 1: that that was manageable, and that was what they promised us,
Speaker 1: and then they extended it four more weeks, and now
Speaker 1: they're extending it another two maybe four weeks, depending on
Speaker 1: where you are, and telling us they may extend it
Speaker 1: even beyond that. Enough is enough. Those of us who
Speaker 1: want to go back to some degree of not normalcy,
Speaker 1: just some degree of living our lives, we should be
Speaker 1: able to do that, and we should focus on protecting
Speaker 1: those who are at higher risk from this, and that
Speaker 1: that is the only way for it. The other way
Speaker 1: is to pretend that we can just keep hiding under
Speaker 1: our beds from this, which we simply no one will will.
Speaker 1: No one thinks that we can really do that, but
Speaker 1: some people keep holding out that as an option. Anyway,
Speaker 1: we can't do it. So let's stop. Let's come together,
Speaker 1: Let's be adults about this one, and move forward as
Speaker 1: a society, as a country, As a people, we the
Speaker 1: American people, need to have our individual rights and freedom
Speaker 1: back and deal with this the way we deal with
Speaker 1: other things, which is with constitutional safeguards in place. Accepting
Speaker 1: that the world is dangerous and imperfect and there are risks,
Speaker 1: we gotta do what we gotta do. And I'm here
Speaker 1: in New York City, going outside, going to stores, subjecting
Speaker 1: myself to this much more so than ninety percent of
Speaker 1: the rest of the country does. And I'm saying this, Okay,
Speaker 1: I know what this thing has done to this city.
Speaker 1: I know what the risks are, but I also know
Speaker 1: that my individual risk and other people's individual risks were
Speaker 1: roughly of my age anywhere in the country is not
Speaker 1: so high that we should stop living our lives. We
Speaker 1: need to keep the economy going so that there is
Speaker 1: the economic foundation to pay doctors and nurses and keep
Speaker 1: food on the shelves and keep everything going. We gotta
Speaker 1: keep everything going. That's the best thing we can do
Speaker 1: for those in the higher risk population, because can you imagine.
Speaker 1: I mean, we're already talking about meat shortages, and you know,
Speaker 1: thirty trillion in debt, and you know businesses, and we'll
Speaker 1: talk about how small businesses are doing. It's not good, folks.
Speaker 1: Even with the money the federal government shoveling at them,
Speaker 1: they're still going to be going under. A lot of
Speaker 1: them are, and they're never going to reopen. There is
Speaker 1: a cost to all of this that with every day
Speaker 1: that passes, it gets worse, and the upside of the
Speaker 1: continued lockdown inexplicable right now, inexplicable. If we're going to
Speaker 1: go out and face the virus, why aren't we going
Speaker 1: out and facing the virus? Those of us who choose
Speaker 1: to do so. That's not everybody. If you don't want
Speaker 1: to leave, I'm not telling you to leave. If you
Speaker 1: don't want to subject yourself to the outside world until
Speaker 1: there's a vaccine, that's your choice. God bless. But those
Speaker 1: of us who want to go out and are willing
Speaker 1: to take that individual risk, and to take mitigation measures
Speaker 1: to protect other people as we can around us, and
Speaker 1: to protect elderly relatives, to protect those in higher risk
Speaker 1: groups that we love and carabout and want to make
Speaker 1: sure we keep them as safe as we can. We
Speaker 1: should be able to do that, and I have not
Speaker 1: heard a compelling reason why we shouldn't be able to
Speaker 1: do that. And if someone y else about testing one
Speaker 1: more time, I'm just going to throw photos in their
Speaker 1: face of empty testing centers all across the country, which
Speaker 1: is what we have right now. We don't do enough tests.
Speaker 1: People aren't showing up to take the tests at the
Speaker 1: numbers that they're telling us to. How do you deal
Speaker 1: with that? You're in the Freedom und This is the
Speaker 1: buck Sex and Show podcast. Think of it. We've spent
Speaker 1: eight trillion dollars in the Middle East and we're not
Speaker 1: fixing our roads in this country. How stupid? How stupid
Speaker 1: is it? And we're not fixing our highways, our tunnels, bridges,
Speaker 1: are hospitals, even our schools. Even it's crazy, it does
Speaker 1: seem like a an absurd thing that's happened in the
Speaker 1: last twenty years. When you think of how much money
Speaker 1: we've spent on foreign wars for what for what I've
Speaker 1: been in a rock, I've been in Afghanistan, I would
Speaker 1: wonder what you know? The only the only compelling arguments
Speaker 1: I've heard for the continued US military actions in those
Speaker 1: countries that have stretched on for years and years are
Speaker 1: to prevent the psycho Gehattas from murdering lots and lots
Speaker 1: of innocent people, and to protect one another because they're
Speaker 1: deployed over there, meaning to our military folks fighting to
Speaker 1: make sure their brothers and sisters in uniform get home.
Speaker 1: But as a as a strategic matter, Ah, what exactly
Speaker 1: have we gotten? And think of all the money we
Speaker 1: have spent, And this is money, this is our money
Speaker 1: that is going again just shoveling money to Afghanistan. It's
Speaker 1: a it's a money pit that will never end. And
Speaker 1: we just keep shoveling money and shoveling money. And now
Speaker 1: we're facing thirty trillion dollars in debt, and there are
Speaker 1: places where we are already seeing the Small business program
Speaker 1: does not have the cash it needs to keep businesses
Speaker 1: alive the way that it was intended to. You have
Speaker 1: the six hundred and sixty billion dollars. Oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: it's enormous number, billion dollar aid program for small businesses.
Speaker 1: The problem is the Treasury Department came in and said, well,
Speaker 1: you can seventy five percent of that money can go
Speaker 1: for employee salaries and no more than twenty five percent
Speaker 1: on rent, mortgage and mortgage interests and utility payments. Well,
Speaker 1: guess what some businesses their biggest expense by far is
Speaker 1: their lease and personnel are not really that pricey in
Speaker 1: comparison to it. That is the especially for smaller businesses
Speaker 1: that are in high foot traffic areas, restaurants and salons
Speaker 1: and things like that. The big expense is to have
Speaker 1: at brick and mortar location for people to come in
Speaker 1: and can you know, and to buy patronize your business,
Speaker 1: and that that is not at twenty five percent, it's
Speaker 1: not enough. Here's an example. It's in the Wall Street
Speaker 1: Journal today. Andrea Hans dismissed twenty five of her employees
Speaker 1: on March seventeenth, after New York City ordered businesses like
Speaker 1: her Manhattan hair salon to close. She and the salon's
Speaker 1: co owner, Josie Sanchez, applied for one hundred and seventy
Speaker 1: four thousand dollar alone through the federal program, but only
Speaker 1: forty three thousand, five hundred dollars could go to non
Speaker 1: payroll expenses, not enough to cover nearly sixty thousand dollars
Speaker 1: in rent for the two month period covered by the
Speaker 1: PPP plan. So there's short almost twenty grand on rent.
Speaker 1: Where's that going to come from? And remember that that
Speaker 1: this mean, this is all? Because why not just cover all?
Speaker 1: Why not just tell people that you'll cover whatever their
Speaker 1: business expenses are. The Treasury will just you know, send
Speaker 1: us essentially a voucher or send us the what's the
Speaker 1: producer mark? When you when someone's gonna pay you, you
Speaker 1: send them a what's it called? I'm blanking on the word.
Speaker 1: You gotta help me out? I are you? No? Well no, no, no,
Speaker 1: A not a memory invoice? Invoice? Thank you? That's it.
Speaker 1: You send them an invoice. These are my business expenses
Speaker 1: since you guys shut me down, well, because that would
Speaker 1: be even more expensive than the six hundred and sixty billion.
Speaker 1: We all know we don't have endless cash, but we
Speaker 1: keep thinking we do something like we know we don't,
Speaker 1: but we keep acting like we do. Otherwise, why not
Speaker 1: give all these businesses what they need to stay open?
Speaker 1: And to survive. Maybe they will, but then we're giving
Speaker 1: them so much money that everyone's going to start to say,
Speaker 1: when does our debt just collapse our economy or be
Speaker 1: such a dragon the economy that we never have the
Speaker 1: kind of productivity and standard of living that we're used
Speaker 1: to ever again, I think we're approaching that point. I
Speaker 1: don't mean to be a gloom and doom guy, but
Speaker 1: I think we're closer than we think. Thanks for listening
Speaker 1: to the bus. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the
Speaker 1: iHeart Radio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. All right, everybody,
Speaker 1: I want to I don't know if I have great
Speaker 1: news to send you off in the weekend with other
Speaker 1: than we will Endure and Team Buck. One day we
Speaker 1: will be sitting together eating barbecue. I'll be drinking cider
Speaker 1: because I can't drink beer. You'll be drinking beer or
Speaker 1: your adult beverage of choice or Seltzer if you want
Speaker 1: to go that rout, and we'll be hanging out somewhere
Speaker 1: in Austin or Denver or San Diego or wherever at
Speaker 1: a barbecue joint and in the Carolinas or in Florida
Speaker 1: and Georgia, or you name it, and I'm trying to
Speaker 1: like trying to cover all the country here, you know,
Speaker 1: Indiana him in Indiana a little while, and we're gonna
Speaker 1: be hanging out and life is going to be kind
Speaker 1: of back to normal. It might be a while, but
Speaker 1: we'll get there. But in the meantime, we also need
Speaker 1: to have some fun on some laughs when we ken.
Speaker 1: And I gotta tell you, it's always good when I
Speaker 1: when I send something a producer Mark, if I tell
Speaker 1: him a funny title, he gives me a very particular
Speaker 1: kind of laugh. And when he even agrees with me
Speaker 1: that something is very funny, we know it's good. This
Speaker 1: is Alex Joe, who once or twice has look it's humorous.
Speaker 1: It's kind of an honor when Alex Jones makes fun
Speaker 1: of your hair and your name and says you're a
Speaker 1: deep state plant trying to take over media, which I
Speaker 1: wish that were true. I think I'd live in a
Speaker 1: bigger apartment. But nonetheless, he's he's crazy, but he's he
Speaker 1: can be really entertating. This is one of the best
Speaker 1: Alex Jones, and there's some great ones. Right the thing
Speaker 1: he'd said something crazy about frogs and years, I mean
Speaker 1: he's just said some nutso stuff. And this is one
Speaker 1: of the best Alex Jones things I've I've ever seen,
Speaker 1: and I want to share it with you because you know,
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton, he's part of the Illuminati, He's part of
Speaker 1: the Builderberg Queen of England. He knows what's going on.
Speaker 1: He understands the cam trails all that stuff. Here he
Speaker 1: is telling you about how how he is right now
Speaker 1: at this phase of the lockdown, and this is amazing.
Speaker 1: I will eat my neighbors. I'm not letting my kids die.
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna be awesome. My superpowers being honest. I've
Speaker 1: extrapolated this out and I won't have to for a
Speaker 1: few years as I got food and stuff. But I'm
Speaker 1: literally looking at my neighbors now, I'm going I'm ready
Speaker 1: to hang them up and got him and scind him
Speaker 1: and chop them up. You know what. I'm ready. My
Speaker 1: daughters aren't starving to death. I'll eat my neighbors. See,
Speaker 1: my superpower is being honest. I'll eat your ass. I'm sorry, man,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Oh my god, I'll eat I'll eat your ass.
Speaker 1: I'll eat it. Oh, Producer Mark, we did not edit
Speaker 1: this this clip you didn't. This is a real clip
Speaker 1: of him on the show. If you can only go
Speaker 1: viral by saying things like this, maybe you need a
Speaker 1: different career. That's what I'll say about him. I'll eat
Speaker 1: your ass us. He's so crazy, Oh my god, that
Speaker 1: his followers are so nuts. You're like, Bux checks you.
Speaker 1: Alex told me all about you. I know you're a
Speaker 1: bad guy. You're a bad main part of CIA CFAR
Speaker 1: c I A d I A CFAR elemental p q
Speaker 1: R S t u V. I know I know where
Speaker 1: you're coming from. I understand well, I'm combat model, offer
Speaker 1: the self sufficiency, probably the leader. The point is is
Speaker 1: have you thought about that yet? Because I'm somebody that
Speaker 1: thought I could fix this, and I'm starting to think
Speaker 1: about having to eat my neighbors pretty ser MARKEV have
Speaker 1: you have you yet reached the point where you're you
Speaker 1: think you might have to know neighbors. I'm not even
Speaker 1: clinically insane. I didn't think so. He's like, I'm I'm
Speaker 1: gonna hang him up. I'm gonna dry age. Honestly, if
Speaker 1: you're gonna if you're gonna eat a neighbor, you gotta
Speaker 1: season him properly. You gotta gotta put salt, pepper, maybe
Speaker 1: a little bit of fresh herb, you know, a spring
Speaker 1: of time, and hang him upside down and go for it.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. Gotta make sure you gotta
Speaker 1: drain all the juices first, dry age them, and then
Speaker 1: you know, make sure you get that human and sear.
Speaker 1: You gotta sear the human beer. I mean, I think
Speaker 1: he's look. I think I do think he's he's intentionally
Speaker 1: being provocative or it's parody or whatever. I don't care.
Speaker 1: It's hilarious. It's amazing, Okay, the fact that this guy's
Speaker 1: run around saying, I'll eat your ass. Oh you think
Speaker 1: he's kidding. I don't know. I'm wondering, is anyone would
Speaker 1: anyone really say this? I mean, if anybody would, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna eat my neighbor. That's I've never heard. I've never
Speaker 1: heard that before. Do you remember there's the old cartoon,
Speaker 1: like from the Bugs Bunny era, with the kind of
Speaker 1: round guy and the skinny guy on the island and
Speaker 1: they're looking at each other, and then the skinny guy
Speaker 1: starts thinking the round guys a hamburger and this, and
Speaker 1: the round guy thinks the skinny guy's a hot dog.
Speaker 1: I feel like I've seen that before. You right, it's
Speaker 1: an old cartoon of guys being like marooned on an island,
Speaker 1: on a you know, a desert island or whatever. But
Speaker 1: I mean, Alex Jones is already there. Man. You know,
Speaker 1: you know we're walking around as hamburgers and hot dogs.
Speaker 1: This guy. There's no food sort shortage. Yeah. In fact,
Speaker 1: the problem, I really think that we're gonna find that
Speaker 1: there's a huge spike in sizing up my neighbor. I
Speaker 1: didn't even mean to play that it has happened. You
Speaker 1: think got lock sizing up my neighbor. I think we're
Speaker 1: gonna find that people. I mean, look, I've I've gained
Speaker 1: just ten pounds of winter weight, and it's may like
Speaker 1: this is just the way people say, Oh, don't eat buck,
Speaker 1: do lots of push ups at home. I can't go
Speaker 1: to the gym, all right, I can't go do outside activities.
Speaker 1: I can't see my friends, I can't see my family.
Speaker 1: I can't let go around the city and do things here.
Speaker 1: What is the only producer, Mark? What are the three
Speaker 1: things we can do to entertain? Four things you can read, books,
Speaker 1: you can watch TV. You can sleep, you can eat food.
Speaker 1: That's basically what you can do. Play video games, video games. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, look, you could crochet, you could paint. I
Speaker 1: mean but in terms of physical activity, I know we're
Speaker 1: leaving at home a couple times a week, but that
Speaker 1: takes what half hour? Yeah, and even still it's Look,
Speaker 1: it's just not it's just not the same, right, I mean,
Speaker 1: you know that they can show me all these videos
Speaker 1: of God, Look, I've been I did the push ups.
Speaker 1: I got a headache for a couple of days, and
Speaker 1: that sounds whimpy, but I couldn't do it when I
Speaker 1: had a headache because I get chronic tension headaches. But
Speaker 1: I'll get back to the push ups, I guess, because otherwise,
Speaker 1: you know, there's gonna be an explosion of of moves
Speaker 1: around the country. You're familiar with moves, expecting that word
Speaker 1: to come out of your mouth. It's a man move,
Speaker 1: I know, But like that's not something you would normally say,
Speaker 1: an explosion of moves. That is that not true? Okay,
Speaker 1: I already had the moves way before this quarantine. Puck.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, Man, I'm looking around here, I'm like,
Speaker 1: thank God, the beaches are closed in New York because
Speaker 1: bab a Buck does not what I take a shirt
Speaker 1: off right now, it's I'm leaving my shirt on if
Speaker 1: the beach is actually too open. You know, it's better
Speaker 1: to keep the sun off your skin anyway, so you know,
Speaker 1: you want to avoid I don't want any you know,
Speaker 1: melanomas or anything like that, so I gotta make sure
Speaker 1: I keep my my pale skin. Oh man. Uh So anyway, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's gonna be that. I think there's gonna be a
Speaker 1: lot of you know, increases in just anything related to
Speaker 1: people eating a lot of junk food and bad food,
Speaker 1: all those health issues. I think you're gonna see a
Speaker 1: lot of that because what else you gonna do? Man,
Speaker 1: I mean, every night I'm sitting here, I'm just like,
Speaker 1: I cook for myself or if I can. There's a
Speaker 1: couple of takeout places in New York that's still deliver
Speaker 1: that I can eat. So anyway, well, let's let's uh,
Speaker 1: it's it's we've we've entered that phase of the show.
Speaker 1: Mark We're just like, oh god, we've got Alex Jones.
Speaker 1: I want to finish up with what his what his
Speaker 1: thoughts are here on all this and to eat my neighbors.
Speaker 1: You think I like, size it up my neighbor, how
Speaker 1: I'm gonna haul him up by chain and chop his
Speaker 1: ass up. I'll do it. My children aren't going hungry.
Speaker 1: I will eat your ash. That's why I want the
Speaker 1: globals to know. I will eat your ass first. I
Speaker 1: would actually hear that last hold up, that man has procreated?
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, what what do you say? I just say
Speaker 1: that man has procreated? Oh yeah, he's got a family,
Speaker 1: he's got he's he's a radio ho. He's got like
Speaker 1: a radio stations that play him. But he's like, he's like,
Speaker 1: I'll tell the globalist this is a quote, folks, globalless,
Speaker 1: I will eat your ass first. Imagine you're the boss
Speaker 1: of a radio station and you hear that over your
Speaker 1: air waves. Oh my gosh, buck sext It he making
Speaker 1: fun of me again? Is he making jokes of mox Spence.
Speaker 1: He's gonna start coming after producer Mark after this now too.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's probably probably true. He's gonna he's gonna
Speaker 1: be coming after both of us. But my god, man,
Speaker 1: that was that is that is one of the all
Speaker 1: time great Alex Jones, Alex Jones trips um or clip.
Speaker 1: It's not trips, well, it's it's kind of a trip
Speaker 1: actually if you look at up. But hey, folks, I
Speaker 1: I thought we should all just enjoy that one together
Speaker 1: for a second, because wow, you know we need those
Speaker 1: We you know, I needed a good we needed a laugh.
Speaker 1: Producer Mark and I both needed a laugh. And we
Speaker 1: we have tip mister Alex Jones for providing that amazing
Speaker 1: laugh because just I can't words, cannot describe. That's why
Speaker 1: we had to play the audio for you. You're in
Speaker 1: the Freedom Hunt. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast.
Speaker 1: I think the only thing we can do at this
Speaker 1: point is get to roll call, because otherwise I'm gonna
Speaker 1: get a case of the sillies again talking to producer
Speaker 1: Mark about about other stuff there. But I hope you will.
Speaker 1: I hope you all had some fun with that one. Um,
Speaker 1: let's go to let's start this off with John John. Oh.
Speaker 1: Let me also say please go to bucksex and dot com.
Speaker 1: We had a piece up that went to viral yesterday
Speaker 1: on why Brocco is ultimately responsible for what happened when
Speaker 1: he was commander in chief and the head of the
Speaker 1: federal government during the presidential transition involving Flynn and Russia collusion,
Speaker 1: all the rest of it that, you know, the buck
Speaker 1: stops with Obama. That's just the truth. They can tell
Speaker 1: you it doesn't, but it does no accountability whatsoever, I
Speaker 1: want to say, accountability at least there should be some
Speaker 1: willingness to look into what did Obama know about all this?
Speaker 1: Really he didn't know anything. The president, the incoming national
Speaker 1: security advisors under investigation for the during the transition, and
Speaker 1: the administration that's still empowered. They don't know they're going
Speaker 1: after him. You really, you really believe that? I don't
Speaker 1: believe that. Oh they keep it separate, Buck, Sure they do.
Speaker 1: Like we're all idiots, like we believe these like we
Speaker 1: believe these people act in good faith anymore? Right, Struck
Speaker 1: page Brannan, comey, Yeah they act in good faith? Please
Speaker 1: all right? Yeah, bucksexon dot com please bookmark it. And yeah,
Speaker 1: we appreciate you writing in to the face book dot com,
Speaker 1: slash Buck Sexon or team buck at iHeartMedia dot com options.
Speaker 1: That's how we get that's how we get roll call going.
Speaker 1: John writes in Buck, thank you for reading our ideas
Speaker 1: and giving honest input. I value your opinion on my
Speaker 1: thoughts very highly. I'm always interested in hearing what others think. Now.
Speaker 1: I plan on voting for Trump in twenty twenty, but
Speaker 1: I have to be honest. It worries me when he
Speaker 1: says the economy will just come roaring back when the
Speaker 1: lockdowns are lifted. Fortunately I live in Texas and we'll
Speaker 1: start experiencing freedom again soon. But with our massive unemployment
Speaker 1: and all kinds of businesses closing their doors, I don't
Speaker 1: see us getting back to where we were until late
Speaker 1: next year. If Trump has a plan for the economy,
Speaker 1: then I'd like to know what it is. I just
Speaker 1: pray to God that Washington won't spend another trillion dollars
Speaker 1: to jump start the economy once COVID is in the
Speaker 1: rear view. John, I think you are correct here. I
Speaker 1: think that the President is trying to give confidence. I
Speaker 1: think that he's trying to make everybody feel like it's
Speaker 1: going to be okay, because psychology does matter in all
Speaker 1: of this. But I am also worried about where the
Speaker 1: economy is going to go, and it does feel to
Speaker 1: me like we're going to be the climb out of
Speaker 1: this even Let's be honest about this part of it.
Speaker 1: Even if people were all of a sudden that the
Speaker 1: Democrats the lives would agree with me and say let's
Speaker 1: start opening up our different states as fast as we can.
Speaker 1: Even if that were to happen, then I would want
Speaker 1: to know how well will that go for us? No one,
Speaker 1: no one can answer that. I mean, we think that
Speaker 1: we're going to open and all of a sudden there
Speaker 1: may be very very slow, you know, very slow economic
Speaker 1: activity that takes a while, and it's going to build
Speaker 1: I think over time. And there's the scenario as well
Speaker 1: where we have a reopen that has followed with an
Speaker 1: additional shutdown because of a spike. Now, I think we're
Speaker 1: going to have a real fight over this because how
Speaker 1: much of a spike is going to be you know,
Speaker 1: able to justify the shutdown? Right? How much of a
Speaker 1: spike do you need? That's where they'll be debate. That's
Speaker 1: where there'll be an argument about this. But yeah, John,
Speaker 1: I think I think we're heading for a bad economy
Speaker 1: for a while. I don't see a way around it.
Speaker 1: I think that this is going to be a drag
Speaker 1: on us. I think that we'll be getting will be improving,
Speaker 1: and improvement will feel like, you know, taking a shower
Speaker 1: when you have it in a week, right, I mean,
Speaker 1: improvement will feel great, but it's not going to be
Speaker 1: It's not going to be what we were used to
Speaker 1: before this happened. That's for sure. It isn't This also
Speaker 1: a reminder when I was telling you in others. I'm
Speaker 1: not saying just me, but when I was telling you
Speaker 1: for the first three years of Trump's presidency, wow, we
Speaker 1: have a great economy. When Trump was saying it, he
Speaker 1: was telling the truth. The economy was just booming. It
Speaker 1: was a booming economy, and yet you still had lives
Speaker 1: who were lying about it all the time. Do you
Speaker 1: think that they feel chastened it all by this? Oh well,
Speaker 1: now the economy is terrible. Before it was great, they'll
Speaker 1: admit that. But they were telling us when it was
Speaker 1: great that it was terrible. These people have no honor,
Speaker 1: no integrity, no honesty, none, zero. But John, I hope
Speaker 1: I'm wrong and you're wrong on this one, because it
Speaker 1: would be great if the economy came back. But I
Speaker 1: think you and I are both right and that this
Speaker 1: is going to take a long time. This is this
Speaker 1: is we will be through a long recovery, economic recovery
Speaker 1: will be at that. I think it'll coincide actually with
Speaker 1: the vaccine. So I think we'll have been dragged through
Speaker 1: a very slow recovery period and for a year to
Speaker 1: eighteen months from now, then we'll feel like, wow, the
Speaker 1: economies actually we are doing pretty well, We're heading the
Speaker 1: virus pretty well. And at that point there'll be a vaccine,
Speaker 1: will say well, I mean we're kind of already you know,
Speaker 1: up and running again, but a vaccine will still be fantastic.
Speaker 1: At least we won't have anyone else or very few
Speaker 1: people dying from this. The vaccine could also, I think,
Speaker 1: be something that is like the flu vaccine, where you
Speaker 1: have to get it, you know, different versions of it
Speaker 1: year and a year. I don't know. Again, that's that's
Speaker 1: beyond my knowledge set, and I admit that. But anyway, no,
Speaker 1: you know, we just we've all got to just hope
Speaker 1: for the best here and do what we can in
Speaker 1: the meantime. Kevin hey Buck regarding nice folks in New
Speaker 1: York City. I drove into Queens Ones from Midwest Ohio.
Speaker 1: As I was walking to my buddy's place, there was
Speaker 1: a guy coming my direction on the sidewalk out of
Speaker 1: habit I looked him dead in the eye, smiled and said, hia.
Speaker 1: Oh boy. That guy glared at me like I just
Speaker 1: said the worst thing in the world about his mother
Speaker 1: for about point two seconds, and then he looked at
Speaker 1: the ground and kept walking. That said, I love New Yorkers.
Speaker 1: There's a camaraderie among New Yorkers. There's a common understanding
Speaker 1: that NYC is the greatest city in the history of
Speaker 1: the world. And blank you it's good when someone's proud
Speaker 1: of where they come from. Brucier Mark, I think that's
Speaker 1: a pretty good description of New York. No, yeah, that's
Speaker 1: a great description. If somebody said hia to me on
Speaker 1: the street, I would like I would give him a
Speaker 1: death stare, right, But we also New Yorkers all do
Speaker 1: think that this is the best city. I wouldn't say
Speaker 1: this they're the best place, because if you don't like cities,
Speaker 1: you're not gonna like it here. But if you're looking
Speaker 1: for the best city, I think this has been the
Speaker 1: best city in the world, certainly for the last twenty
Speaker 1: years or so. Oh yeah, it's the greatest city in
Speaker 1: the world. I hate it and I don't want to
Speaker 1: live here anymore. But you can't say that, yeah, because
Speaker 1: I'm a New Yorker and you're not. Yeah, yeah, I know.
Speaker 1: Then there is a bit of a pride, a pride
Speaker 1: of place that comes with this that well, you know,
Speaker 1: there's all these other cities, and we're like, oh, we
Speaker 1: kind of want to pat other cities in the head.
Speaker 1: Oh your city's cute, Oh that's nice. Oh hey Boston,
Speaker 1: Oh he's Boston. All groans up? Now. Oh hey, you
Speaker 1: know Boston City their public transportation ends at like nine pm.
Speaker 1: And then we got and then we gotta you know,
Speaker 1: then we gotta make fun of the Red Sox a
Speaker 1: little bit. You know, we're a little pat on the
Speaker 1: head for Boston. We make fun of the reds up.
Speaker 1: But we we love Boston. We love you. Gotta call
Speaker 1: it bed and root for the Red Sox before I
Speaker 1: root for the Yankees. Oh that's right, I forgot about that.
Speaker 1: Now now you're just alienating some of our New York
Speaker 1: audience instead of Boston. So there you go. Yeah, that's okay. Yeah, yeah, interesting.
Speaker 1: Aren't the Mets about to get bought by? I know,
Speaker 1: I can't wait A D A Rod and J and
Speaker 1: J Low. Well that's that's a rumor. So they don't
Speaker 1: have enough money to buy the Mets on their own,
Speaker 1: they would other backers kind of like Derek Jeter is
Speaker 1: the figurehead owner of the Miami Marlins, but he doesn't
Speaker 1: have the biggest stake in the team. There's silent partners
Speaker 1: behind him that are the money people. Has that been
Speaker 1: Has that been a good investment? Um? They kind of.
Speaker 1: They basically traded away every single player and they've been
Speaker 1: terrible for years and claim they're still rebuilding. Miami's not
Speaker 1: a baseball town. They like football and a little bit
Speaker 1: of basketball. It sounds about right. All we got more
Speaker 1: roll Call coming up in a second. Thanks for listening
Speaker 1: to the Bust. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the
Speaker 1: iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. All right,
Speaker 1: it's roll Call, but it's also the Penalty Box with
Speaker 1: producer Mark What What are you gotta? What are you
Speaker 1: guys going to be eating in the Penalty Box this weekend?
Speaker 1: What are you watching? Bring us into your quarantine? I'm
Speaker 1: definitely making chicken cutlets tonight. Who got those defrosted? I mean,
Speaker 1: who doesn't like a good chicken cutlet? Yeah? Yeah, How
Speaker 1: do you make those gluten free though? Very curious? Um,
Speaker 1: can you? Yeah, of course, you just use flower. Oh
Speaker 1: I've made fantastic veal I mean sorry, chicken scalapeine. Chicken
Speaker 1: not veal, because we would not eat little veal chicken scalapeene.
Speaker 1: And uh, you can make chicken marsala, I mean chicken
Speaker 1: um millonnaise. You just use it the different flour you
Speaker 1: should one day. Well, I'll have when you know the
Speaker 1: world stops ending, you and missus Mark will come over.
Speaker 1: I'll cook for you, guys. But all you do is
Speaker 1: change the flower. Everything else is exactly the same on
Speaker 1: most of these dishes, and the flour is not something
Speaker 1: that the flavor really the consistency can be slightly different,
Speaker 1: but the flavor is exactly the same. I've met the
Speaker 1: bread crumbs though, What do you mean when you make
Speaker 1: a chicken cutlet your bread and make with gluten free bread? Okay, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: gluten free bread crumbs. Oh they sell them in a
Speaker 1: store too, dude. The GF community, the GF community is
Speaker 1: growing all the time. So yeah, it's gotten really big.
Speaker 1: Like I remember when I was a kid that was
Speaker 1: gluten free was not a term. No, no, and let
Speaker 1: me tell you, don't. Don't go to China and ask
Speaker 1: for help with gluten free because they look at you
Speaker 1: like what you're like, Yeah, I know it's weird. But
Speaker 1: then you just end up eating a lot of rice.
Speaker 1: That's yeah, pretty much your only culinary option if you
Speaker 1: go traveling to China you're gluten free. It's very hard.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a good place to eat rice, I guess.
Speaker 1: I mean the rice. The rice was good. There's a
Speaker 1: lot of rice everywhere in all the restaurants. But soy
Speaker 1: sauce is the big problem there. Soy sauce, your your
Speaker 1: soy sauce is a no go. It's got a lot
Speaker 1: of a lot of gluten in it. So anyway, we'll see.
Speaker 1: We're gonna watch this weekend. I think there's a new
Speaker 1: Jerry Seinfeld comedy special coming out on Netflix this weekend,
Speaker 1: so I'm definitely gonna watch that. So like Seinfeld old

Speaker 1: you were a Mayo lover and already have a favorite,
Speaker 1: but I was wondering if you've ever tried the Japanese
Speaker 1: mayo que pie. It's amazing. What makes it different from
Speaker 1: American mayo is that it only uses the egg yo. Also,
Speaker 1: the rice vineer gives it a sweet, tangy flavor. Give
Speaker 1: it a try. PS love the show. Say hi to Mark,

Speaker 1: que pie. Let me see quepie mayo. Oh yeah, cupie mayonnaise.
Speaker 1: I've never seen this before, Cupine Corporation. Wow, that's a
Speaker 1: real thing. Okay, thanks for the heads up. I'll check
Speaker 1: it out. I make my own producer Mark. We might
Speaker 1: at the ear muffew for this one. I make my
Speaker 1: own saracha mayo sometimes, which is really hard. You just
Speaker 1: take mayo and take saracha sauce. And squeeze it into
Speaker 1: your mayo and mix it up. You've got saracha mayo.
Speaker 1: It's great, delicious. Unfortunately, I have to let the stuff
Speaker 1: into my house sometimes because my wife does like mayo.
Speaker 1: She loves the spicy mayo when you go get sushi.
Speaker 1: Oh you mean your wife has the correct palette and
Speaker 1: actually appreciates the deliciousness that is mayonnaise. Well, well, missus
Speaker 1: mark good food. That's what we like to hear. She
Speaker 1: also doesn't eat steak, So we got to talk about
Speaker 1: this one. What do you mean We've brought this up
Speaker 1: a thousand times on the show already. She doesn't eat
Speaker 1: red meat because it upsets her stomach. Oh no, that's okay. Yeah,
Speaker 1: if it doesn't sit well though, that's what that's another.
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean I can't mock her for it occasionally. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I had a friend new years ago, had a really
Speaker 1: serious girlfriends. This is not. This is not like an
Speaker 1: I had a friend that it's me. This is actually
Speaker 1: because this is not but and now of course it
Speaker 1: sounds like it is, but it really isn't. But his
Speaker 1: girlfriend at the time went vegan and uh, yeah, that
Speaker 1: was a tough one because he had been eating a
Speaker 1: lot of meat, and all of a sudden, it's like, well,
Speaker 1: we can't. It's not. It's one thing when someone anyone
Speaker 1: can make their own choices about food, but when you
Speaker 1: have to abide by their choices too, is things get tricky. Right.
Speaker 1: It's like imagine imagine like you know, producer Mark, if
Speaker 1: you and missus Mark, if she was like, no, you
Speaker 1: can't even have meat in the house. That's different than that,
Speaker 1: and that'd be ridiculous, right, Well, no, but vegans can
Speaker 1: feel that way. And there was a vegan house when
Speaker 1: I was in college. It was almost it was like
Speaker 1: a lifestyle house, so you had to agree to their
Speaker 1: lifestyle to live in this. It was on campus. It
Speaker 1: was for students. It wasn't like some off campus thing.
Speaker 1: But you had to agree and abide by a vegan lifestyle.
Speaker 1: And there were huge fights because sometimes somebody would try
Speaker 1: to cook when nobody was paying attention, eggs or meat
Speaker 1: on their communal stove, and then everybody was like, now
Speaker 1: we have to have a special cleaning. Like they would
Speaker 1: freak out about this. Yeah, I live like that. Militant
Speaker 1: vegans are a thing. Never forget it, never forget it.
Speaker 1: I know I'm not in the dating pool anymore because
Speaker 1: I'm married. But if I was and somebody was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: you have to be vegan in the house or we
Speaker 1: can't live together, like okay, bye, I will make me.
Speaker 1: Years years and years ago, I went on a few
Speaker 1: dates with a lovely woman who was both very right
Speaker 1: wing and very America And I bumped into her New
Speaker 1: York a couple of years ago, and it, you know,
Speaker 1: just I just actually bumped into us on the street
Speaker 1: and I talked to her a little bit, and it
Speaker 1: came up in conversation that she had become essentially a
Speaker 1: radical feminist and a vegan. And I was like, what, like,
Speaker 1: how did this happen? What? But yeah, so some people
Speaker 1: they go with big change. And this was over the
Speaker 1: course of maybe six or seven years. You know, I
Speaker 1: saw her then six six seven years later saw her again.
Speaker 1: But I can tell you when she loved America and freedom,
Speaker 1: she was way more fun that I can tell you,
Speaker 1: way less fun when she became a vegan, left wing feminist,
Speaker 1: which was which was a bummer for humanity. I think,
Speaker 1: all right, Paul, here's my question for a role called
Speaker 1: General Flynn was obviously set up, but he was also
Speaker 1: fired for lying to VP Pence. So I'm on the
Speaker 1: President's side no matter what. But what is up with that? Um? Yeah, Paul,
Speaker 1: you know that's that's a that's a fair point. Um.
Speaker 1: And I think you know, you look at the the
Speaker 1: lie to General. Remember there was all this pressure on
Speaker 1: it because the FBI was also involved, so they heightened
Speaker 1: the pressure on this not this lie that was really
Speaker 1: it was unimportant, it didn't really matter. But also you
Speaker 1: know this is there was an illegality to expose the
Speaker 1: lie too. The quote lie. I mean, I think, I
Speaker 1: honestly think that General Flynn just forgot like he was
Speaker 1: talking of the Russian ambassador, like he talked to a
Speaker 1: lot of people, and he's just like, yeah, you know whatever,
Speaker 1: And you know, it's not that hard. And I know
Speaker 1: this this does this does sound like water caring, and
Speaker 1: I understand that. But if you've ever been as I have,
Speaker 1: under what is effectively a many hours long polygraph interrogation,
Speaker 1: you know that you know, sometimes your head you go, well,
Speaker 1: I mean, and you start thinking about if I say that,
Speaker 1: is it true? Can I get away with saying that
Speaker 1: and have it still be true? You know, you start
Speaker 1: to get into these gray areas. You can forget things,
Speaker 1: you can be stressed, you can say the wrong thing.
Speaker 1: It's not as straightforward as you know. If somebody asks you,
Speaker 1: you know, what is your name? And I say, oh,
Speaker 1: you know, my name is Sarah, and then and then
Speaker 1: they ask me again and they're like, wait, are you
Speaker 1: sure that's your name? And I say, oh no, wait,
Speaker 1: don't you know there is more than just an initial mistake.
Speaker 1: If you're going to talk about somebody under an intense
Speaker 1: derogation or under any kind of scheme to see if
Speaker 1: someone telling the truth, there's more than just is every
Speaker 1: single thing you say one percent accurate? That is that,
Speaker 1: that is a fact. People misremember things, they forget things, right.
Speaker 1: There's a difference between forgetting and lying, is what I'm
Speaker 1: getting it. There's a difference between a mistake and a willful,
Speaker 1: a will full shift away from the truth for the
Speaker 1: purposes of deception. That's actually why I know polygraphers, we'll
Speaker 1: talk about deception. That's what they're looking for. They're looking
Speaker 1: for markers of deception. And remember libs don't care about lies.
Speaker 1: Look at Trump, I mean not Trump. Sorry, well, they
Speaker 1: chare about Trump's lies of course a lot. Then look
Speaker 1: at you know Bill Clinton under oath. Oh that didn't matter.
Speaker 1: That was a crime as a felony. They didn't care.
Speaker 1: So they're all full of crap. You're in the freedom hunt.
Speaker 1: This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Check this out.
Speaker 1: I didn't realize this deadline was coming up so quickly.

Speaker 1: Alabama and Mississippi. Huh why minus Atlanta? Oh? Sorry, Georgia
Speaker 1: minus Atlanta and then Alabama. MISSI I was like, whoa,
Speaker 1: why are Alabama Mississippi being thrown under the bus here?
Speaker 1: I misread that he's said Atlanta is not that friendly
Speaker 1: city folk. You know we are. We can be Look

Speaker 1: Alabama has a plus the food Bama brought home the beard? Last,
Speaker 1: what's prouser Mark? What is this? Proabama brought home the beard?
Speaker 1: Is this like a is this like a thing? A
Speaker 1: trophy for football or something? Might be a football thing?
Speaker 1: Oh wait, is that the James Beard Award? Could that
Speaker 1: be what that is? Maybe if you want amazing food,
Speaker 1: come visit from barbecue to ot cuisine. We have it
Speaker 1: in spades, all right, Patrick? Um, I didn't I be
Speaker 1: honest with I did not know that Alabama was particularly
Speaker 1: known for its cuisine. I know that it's barbecue is
Speaker 1: very highly regarded. But I have also not spend time
Speaker 1: in Alabama, so I need to go. I need to
Speaker 1: go check it out. And I know people people I
Speaker 1: know from Alabama are lovely, so that's always a big

Speaker 1: so I always have to give her a little piece
Speaker 1: of it. And I know I shouldn't be. This is
Speaker 1: where everyone yells at me. Buck, I'm a dog owner.
Speaker 1: Don't give your dog sweet treats and it'll make it fat.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, she's eleven. Okay, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: You know, if grandma wants to sneak a little extra
Speaker 1: butter on her potatoes, what aren't we gonna say no? Right?
Speaker 1: Producer Mark, Yeah, I mean, once I get to like seventy,
Speaker 1: what's the point? You know? So I want to look
Speaker 1: like you know, you gotta tell Grandpa, no burnet sauce.
Speaker 1: Let Grandpa have his Burnett sauce. Telulah's you know, she's
Speaker 1: getting up there. She wants a little sweet treat. I
Speaker 1: don't give her a lot, but she is. I will say.
Speaker 1: She's got these cute little sweaters and they're so ridiculous
Speaker 1: and so cute that my mom gave me for her
Speaker 1: to make sure that she doesn't go out and you know,
Speaker 1: a cold weather. And when I try to put the
Speaker 1: ball though, man, she's she's quarantine's making her burst at
Speaker 1: the seems a little bit too. I mean, those sweaters
Speaker 1: are getting tough to put on. I'm just gonna say it.
Speaker 1: So that's why I tell I tell my parents. She
Speaker 1: looks more and more like a baby seal, staying flat
Speaker 1: on the ice to avoid the Polar Bears. That's what
Speaker 1: she looks like. Debrah. Right, I'm in North Idaho. Things
Speaker 1: are pretty quiet here. We've had cases of wuhan flew
Speaker 1: but are beginning to open up starting next week. I
Speaker 1: thought that if you were laid off or furloughed and
Speaker 1: got called back to work, you would lose your unemployment
Speaker 1: if you do not go or did not go, that
Speaker 1: would mean all these people who want to stay home
Speaker 1: to get more money would lose that money for refusing
Speaker 1: to take their job back. That's how it used to be.
Speaker 1: Love your show, well, Debra, thank you so much for
Speaker 1: writing in. I'm glad that things in North Idaho are
Speaker 1: but quiet. Interesting act in North Idaho I was watching
Speaker 1: as I was watching the Waco series, that is where
Speaker 1: Ruby Ridge is. People didn't know that. I think people
Speaker 1: that live there, I'm sure know that. But in the
Speaker 1: rest of the country, Ruby Ridge is in northern Idaho,
Speaker 1: near Naples, I believe, which is also in northern There's
Speaker 1: a Naples, Florida. There's a Naples, just like there's a
Speaker 1: there's an Oxford, England, and an Oxford, Mississippi. And you know,
Speaker 1: you start looking at there's a Ithaca, New York and
Speaker 1: Ithaca in Greece. Right, So yeah, it's it's been a
Speaker 1: long day already, folks, You know what I mean, I've
Speaker 1: just gotta things are just coming into my brain and
