1
00:00:01,639 --> 00:00:04,920
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcast, make sure

2
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 1: you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeartRadio app or

3
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:11,400
Speaker 1: wherever you get your podcasts. I thought we were supposed

4
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 1: to be unified. I thought they were going to bring

5
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,440
Speaker 1: us all together, that we were entering a new phase

6
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:19,239
Speaker 1: in the history of the country, or at least in

7
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:21,240
Speaker 1: the recent history, where we were all supposed to be

8
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:29,320
Speaker 1: buddies united, coming together in this new, technocratic, competent, calm

9
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 1: Biden administration. Right, that was the promise. And now what

10
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:36,879
Speaker 1: you're already seeing is that the Biden people aren't as

11
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,560
Speaker 1: smart as they told you they would be, don't give

12
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:46,199
Speaker 1: a crap about unity, and are actually ideologues driven by

13
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 1: their desire to play kate the fringe interests that have

14
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 1: so much control within the Democrat Party, whether it's on

15
00:00:53,400 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 1: identity politics, environmental issues, social justice, all these things. It's

16
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: not the presidency they said we'd get. But if you

17
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 1: knew that was the case, it was always a lie.

18
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 1: It was always meant to convince medium to low information

19
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 1: suburban voters in some key states. You'll just have a

20
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: return to normalcy, that's what they said, a return to normalcy. Well,

21
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 1: it turns out that's not what we're getting. What we're

22
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: getting is the return of the Obama administration. That's what's

23
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: really happening here. That's the reality of what has now

24
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: taken power. And you see this with every decision being

25
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: made so far, and also all the people who are

26
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 1: in charge, the people that are making the decisions right now,

27
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: who are making the calls about everything that's happening, are

28
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: very similar in some cases the same as those who

29
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: were doing it during the Obama years. You remember the

30
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: Obama years. Was there a lot of national healing? Did

31
00:01:56,320 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: it really bring us all together? There were race riots

32
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: during the Obama Obama presidency, as you remember the BLM

33
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 1: protests started. Then, there were there was economic malaise at best,

34
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: the slowest recovery out of a recession since the Great Depression.

35
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: There was a lot of unnecessary government regulation and harassment

36
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: of people in their day to day lives. There was

37
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: oppression of religious freedom, there was suppression of free speech.

38
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 1: You're getting all that just coming back under a different name,

39
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,959
Speaker 1: but the same idea. And this is why I think

40
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: it's so interesting that they want to continue to fixate

41
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: on the Trump presidency, because I think that They never

42
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: really thought beyond what happens when there's no longer the

43
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:55,119
Speaker 1: Trump boogeyman for everyone to be terrified of what happens

44
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: at that phase, at that point when you can't just well,

45
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: they're not letting it go. That's why you have this

46
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: impeachment that they're going to do after a Trump presidency

47
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: has already ended. Joe Biden I was gonna say, for

48
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: better or for worse, it's for worse is now the

49
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: president United States. This is an absurd spectacle. We all

50
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 1: understand this. I mean, you could have replaced Joe Biden

51
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 1: with forty other sub mediocre Democrat politicians. It'd be basically

52
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 1: the same thing, just anybody. But Trump was what they

53
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 1: ran with and that's what they were able to pull off.

54
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 1: And now we see what they're really going to be doing,

55
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: and now we see what the actual decision making will

56
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: be like. And that's why with this impeachment situation, they're

57
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: they're making it clear for everybody who's watching exactly what's

58
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: going on. You can see it. They're not hiding it.

59
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: They're keeping thousands and thousands of National Guard soldiers in

60
00:03:52,760 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: DC for the entirety of the impeachment Democrats to actually

61
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: get Trump convicted would need seventeen Republicans to go along

62
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: with this. But I think the even more important, the

63
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 1: even more important situation here is that there's a for me,

64
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: a clear there's there's a clear decision that has been

65
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 1: made that they want all these troops in DC because

66
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 1: we're supposed to believe that there's still a threat of

67
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: a coup. They want everyone terrified, they want everyone worried

68
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:41,359
Speaker 1: about the possibility of you know, the Trump supporters storming

69
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 1: the gates and stopping the Senate impeachment trial or whatever.

70
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:50,040
Speaker 1: This is hysteria, but it's important for their power grab.

71
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,679
Speaker 1: Or if you look throughout history, whenever there are authoritarians,

72
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:55,840
Speaker 1: whenever there are people that are taking more power than

73
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: they are legally, constitutionally or otherwise supposed to be granted

74
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: in government, whatever that happens, they have an excuse, They

75
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,479
Speaker 1: have some rational it's always the other guys, we're going

76
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 1: to do this first, or if we didn't do this,

77
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,919
Speaker 1: you know, this terrible thing was going to happen. They

78
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: don't just say, yeah, we're we're despots. We're seizing all

79
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 1: authority and power into our hand because we like it.

80
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 1: Because we think we're better than you because we think

81
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 1: we know better than you, and you're not allowed to complain.

82
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,919
Speaker 1: That's not the pitch. That's not the way they justify

83
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 1: their actions, even when that's exactly what they're doing. So here,

84
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 1: what they've decided to do is that they take it

85
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: upon themselves to be the people ordering thousands and thousands

86
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 1: of National Guard to be deployed all throughout DC because

87
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 1: of the threat of Trump supporters. I mean, this is

88
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 1: this is absurd. We're really supposed to think that that

89
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: Trump supporters are going to do? What will they protest

90
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: in DC? Abe? But a are we to think that

91
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: they're gonna violently try to overthrow the Senate or do

92
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 1: something along those lines. I know what they would say.

93
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: I know the Democrat response would be, they tried it

94
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 1: that one time, on that one day. All right. It

95
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: was a disaster. It wasn't a coup. It was a riot.

96
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: And anybody who has any sense at all understands that

97
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 1: it was the worst possible thing from a purely political standpoint.

98
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: It was the worst possible thing that a Trump supporter

99
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 1: could have done on that day at that time. It

100
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 1: played right, It played right into the Democrats hands put

101
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 1: aside the illegality and immorality of it for a moment.

102
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 1: It played right into the Democrats hands. So we're gonna

103
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:47,039
Speaker 1: believe it, that's gonna happen again. No, but they want

104
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: thousands and thousands of troops deployed so that this can

105
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:54,279
Speaker 1: be the way that the hysterical Democrats, Oh my gosh,

106
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 1: the Trump supporters can continue to play this game while

107
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:01,919
Speaker 1: they show everybody while during this transition period, not the

108
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: official presidential transition that's already happened, but this change into

109
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: the new regime. We don't really pay attention to what

110
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 1: Biden's doing. We don't pay attention to the actions he's

111
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 1: taking because the media will just be focused on one,

112
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: how amazing Biden. Do you know that his son went

113
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 1: bagel shopping with him on Sunday after going to church.

114
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 1: It's disgusting, the throne shining, the foot rubbing, the Oh gosh,

115
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: Joe Biden's so amazing. Stuff you're seeing from the media

116
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: is there. They're an embarrassment, but this is their business model,

117
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: telling Democrats, telling the brainwashed left, how incredible this this

118
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 1: clown Joe Biden is. I mean, really, we're all supposed

119
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: to think that he's some great leaders, some great mind.

120
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: Nobody believes that, but they're all acting like it's true.

121
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 1: This is the emperor having no clothes on, except the

122
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 1: emperor is almost eighty years old, and you do worry

123
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 1: that he actually doesn't remember where pants. I mean, that's

124
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 1: where we are with this situation. But oh, we need

125
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 1: thousands of National Guard deployed. And they're even asking, they're

126
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 1: raising the question themselves, why are we on the streets

127
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 1: of DC exactly? What are we doing here? What's the mission?

128
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: What's the real threat? You know what the threat is.

129
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 1: They're gonna tell you. They're gonna tell you that it's

130
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 1: Trump voters trying to overthrow the Senator, some crazy nonsense

131
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 1: like that. But the real problem is that they don't

132
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 1: know how to keep their rage filled base happy without

133
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 1: Donald Trump as the ultimate political pinata. And they also

134
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,319
Speaker 1: don't want people to start to see that Joe Biden

135
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: is really an incompetent and that the people running this

136
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 1: administration are the Democrat members of the establishment and the

137
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 1: apparatus the left in general, who have decided what the

138
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,680
Speaker 1: policies will be, what the decision making will be. Joe

139
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 1: Biden is just the vessel otherwise. Explain why he's getting

140
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 1: rid of the Keystone XL pipeline. Explain why he thinks

141
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 1: men should be able to compete in women's sports, biological

142
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: males competing against biological females. Look at the whole list

143
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: of executive orders. It was all divisive and bad policy.

144
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 1: These were objectively bad decisions for the country. But it's

145
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: what the left demands. You're gonna see a whole lot

146
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: more of it. They didn't. They didn't wait very long,

147
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 1: did they. They didn't wait at all. Because this is

148
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 1: the presidency we're dealing with. They can tell you as

149
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: much as they want about how there's other plans and

150
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 1: other things, and just wait one day, we'll get there.

151
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: But in the meantime, it's the continuation of the three

152
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 1: ring circus around Donald Trump, and oh my gosh, the

153
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: Republic will fall unless we have thousands and thousands of

154
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,839
Speaker 1: soldiers deployed to stop those big, bad, mean Trump supporters,

157
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 1: What's the number one change of notice between from President

158
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 1: Biden to President Biden from President Trump. It was very clear, George,

159
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: and it was articulated multiple times. The President has said

160
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:22,199
Speaker 1: it publicly, but in a private session just sitting down

161
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: with him and with the medical team, he's very serious.

162
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 1: He says science is going to rule. We're gonna go

163
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,559
Speaker 1: by the facts. We're gonna go by the evidence. We're

164
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: gonna go by the data. If something is wrong, like

165
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: I just said, we're gonna just try and fix it,

166
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 1: then we're gonna pull out all the stops to get

167
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 1: our arms around this. Getting the vaccine situation on track

168
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: is his highest priority. So I mean the idea that

169
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: the president himself sits down with you and says, I

170
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: want science to rule. Go out there and do everything

171
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 1: we need to do to get it done. Just as

172
00:10:55,440 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: really very refreshing. Science will rule is a terrifying slogan

173
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: for anybody who knows history to hear science will rule.

174
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,079
Speaker 1: I thought we the people rule through our elected representatives.

175
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: But now now all of a sudden, there's some high

176
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 1: priesthood of the hashtag science variety that's going to be

177
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:19,559
Speaker 1: making really important policy decisions for us. You know who

178
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:24,199
Speaker 1: also thinks that science will rule? This is true Marxists.

179
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 1: They always believe that all the social sciences, which aren't

180
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,719
Speaker 1: really science, as you know, but that there was a

181
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 1: fact and evidence based way to order a society that

182
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 1: was irrefutable and must be true, is always true, even

183
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:44,079
Speaker 1: when the results suck. That science is all you need,

184
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 1: you see, to reorder humankind so that we can all

185
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:52,199
Speaker 1: have everything we need. And this is a fundamental tenet

186
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 1: of Marxism is to treat it as though they're running

187
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 1: a lab experiment on how to grow the fastest petunias,

188
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 1: except we're talking about human beings. We're talking about the

189
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 1: complexities and the moral questions that face the human race.

190
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:09,079
Speaker 1: But the Marxists believe that with science, that's all you need,

191
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,559
Speaker 1: and their science was really a pseudoscience of Marxism. That's

192
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 1: the whole point, you see. It's the answer to everything.

193
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:16,959
Speaker 1: This is why it really is all a religious belief,

194
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: you see. And Fauci is going to be for anybody

195
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: who's watching and being honest about this, is going to

196
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 1: be proven to be essentially a giant fraud in this

197
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 1: whole process. He's been wrong. He's been wrong numerous times.

198
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 1: Here's a fact for you, Doctor Fauci lied to the

199
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 1: American people about masks by his own admission, because he

200
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 1: thought that that was a better thing for us to

201
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 1: go through when he said don't wear masks and then said, oh,

202
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 1: it's because I thought we'd run out of masks, Okay,

203
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 1: so he lied. This guy's a liar. This is the

204
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 1: whole the Truth and Science administration. This guy deceived the

205
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: American public. But really the truth is that he didn't

206
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 1: deceive the American public the way he said. It's that

207
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 1: all of science, until about five minutes ago, thought that

208
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 1: wearing a mask and a pandemic like this wasn't going

209
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,839
Speaker 1: to have the kind of beneficial result. That doesn't mean

210
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: no benefit, but wouldn't have the kind of beneficial results

211
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 1: we keep being led to believe mask mandates will because

212
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 1: it's become part of the religion. Now, that's not to

213
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 1: say there's no truth to it. That's not to say

214
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 1: that I'm telling you that they don't work at all

215
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 1: or no. N ninety five masks and a clinical setting

216
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 1: absolutely help with respiratory infections a disease, no question, and

217
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 1: in some situations maybe a cloth mask would also have

218
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 1: not the same benefit, but some benefit, but as a

219
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: means of stopping the pandemic. Has it worked? Look around you.

220
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 1: I'm in mask central here in New York City. Has

221
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 1: it stopped the virus? Has it stopped the pandemic or

222
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,440
Speaker 1: even come close to it? No, we're setting all time records,

223
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 1: but we didn't do it enough. That's why you're seeing.

224
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 1: You can find them yourself to two or three articles

225
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 1: now coming out last last week from the New York

226
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 1: Times alone time a double mask, gotta I'm not making

227
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 1: this up. Got a double mask. Well, you can see

228
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 1: if you go back on my Twitter account, just to

229
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 1: give you a sense. Somehow I can tell what's coming.

230
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 1: Somehow I know what's going to happen here. But you

231
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: go back in my Twitter account and you see that

232
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 1: I said on December tenth. Here we are now. It

233
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 1: is January twenty fifth, I tweeted on December tenth. Sometime

234
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 1: in about mid January, when cases are still very high,

235
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: despite all the painful lockdown insanity, there will be an

236
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 1: n ninety five. Masks are actually far more effective. We

237
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 1: should have advocated for those all along. Moment of recognition

238
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 1: from the experts. Well, I shared yesterday a story from

239
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 1: from CNN that says that Germany has mandated only medical

240
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 1: grade masks. Why, because those homemade cloth masks that are

241
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 1: so effective at blocking COVID, they're like, well, actually they

242
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 1: don't look like they're that effective. And one large German state, Bavaria,

243
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 1: has mandated N ninety five masks only. So now it's

244
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 1: if you're not wearing an N ninety five mask, you

245
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 1: can't even get on mass transit. You can't go into

246
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 1: public places, not even one of those medical grade you know,

247
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 1: two ply fabric masks gotta be N ninety five. Why

248
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 1: did I know this was going to happen. I'm not

249
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 1: a doctor, I'm not a Blue check MD. I'm not

250
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 1: one of these these pandemic epidemiologists they keep putting on

251
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 1: CNN every five minutes. Why did I know this was

252
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 1: going to happen? Because I know what the arguments are here,

253
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 1: and I know that they keep on being wrong and

254
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 1: ignoring it and saying, shut up, wear your mask. It's

255
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 1: gonna save us. Okay, hasn't saved us yet, has it?

256
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 1: So what do they do? They change the argument, and

257
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 1: then if you question them, you're the problem. Doctor Fauci

258
00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 1: was the beginning of this. He said, don't wear the mask,

259
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 1: and then people said, Hold on a second. You know

260
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 1: you now say wear them, and he says, well, I

261
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 1: had to lie to you for your own good. An

262
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 1: administration is that is ruled by science. That's what he said,

263
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 1: ruled by science. You don't think that Fauci's a power

264
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 1: mad little maniac. Now you know. He's the highest paid

265
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 1: employee in the federal government, makes more than a four

266
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 1: star general, makes more than the president of the United States.

267
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 1: He's making over four hundred thousand dollars a year. It's

268
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 1: a great gig to have, basically unfireable. He's been sitting

269
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 1: there for decades. It's going to lots of meetings making

270
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 1: bad policy decisions under the guise of the rule of science.

271
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 1: The CDC with this whole thing, has been a disaster,

272
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 1: a disaster, and it's because it's a decades long, decades

273
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 1: long in the making, federal bureaucratic screw up, because there's

274
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 1: no accountability, because you don't want government in charge of

275
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 1: things because they don't do a good job. But oh,

276
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 1: that's right, we'll be ruled by science, he says, as

277
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 1: if that's all that's all that has to be said.

278
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 1: And then beyond that, we're supposed to just be quiet

279
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 1: and listen. Do as you're told. Oh, okay, we'll get

280
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 1: into Gavin Newsom all of a sudden is going to

281
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 1: open up California. Are the cases so different? There? Is

282
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 1: it such a different situation? And if we're going to

283
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 1: be ruled by the science, explain to me the science

284
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: of not allowing the Keystone XL pipeline, which Biden just

285
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,919
Speaker 1: shot down. The whole project is now scrapped by executive

286
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 1: FIAT not allowing the Keystone XEL pipeline when the State

287
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:44,640
Speaker 1: Department's analysis under the Obama administration was that blocking Keystone

288
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 1: would increase CO two emissions. That's right, increase by blocking.

289
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 1: But they're doing it anyway, ruled by science. They say, sure,

290
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 1: you're in the freedom hunt. Thanks for listening to The

291
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 1: Buckston Show podcast to get the latest from Buck at

292
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:07,920
Speaker 1: buck Sexton dot com. Well, I mean, obviously it was

293
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:13,360
Speaker 1: it was not an easy situation. I always did speak

294
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 1: based on the data and the science, but obviously there

295
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:23,439
Speaker 1: was pressure about messaging that. And you know, I have

296
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:29,400
Speaker 1: I took no pleasure in having to sometimes publicly, even

297
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:33,199
Speaker 1: with the President there, to contradict what he was saying.

298
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 1: But I felt as a scientist. I had to be

299
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 1: true to myself and true to the science to make

300
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 1: sure that where there were things that I thought might

301
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 1: be misinformation, that I would have to correct that. And

302
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 1: there were a number of instances of that. That is

303
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:53,159
Speaker 1: not a comfortable situation, you know. It also was in

304
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:57,639
Speaker 1: a comfortable situation for doctor Fauci is being in the

305
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,360
Speaker 1: position that you're supposed to have been preparing for your

306
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 1: whole life and just being a disaster, having no real plan,

307
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 1: no answers, just being a political megaphone of fear. I mean,

308
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 1: I'm hearing people now who say, yes, buck, you know what,

309
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 1: This is what democrats will tell you. Sure, some of

310
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 1: the pandemic theater that we go through is idiotic. Sure,

311
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 1: some of the things that we're being told to do

312
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:31,159
Speaker 1: make no sense, won't change anything, and it's absurd. But

313
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 1: it's about conditioning the public to respond to health commands

314
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 1: like this. Oh so it's Pavlovian. It's like we're all

315
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 1: a bunch of dogs getting our treat from the government.

316
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 1: Maybe we get patted on the head afterwards. This is

317
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 1: what democrats who are being honest will openly tell you. Now, well,

318
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 1: it's really sure, Maybe what you're doing makes no sense.

319
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:56,680
Speaker 1: But if everybody does something nonsensical about COVID, then there

320
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 1: might be some benefit that comes from it. That's worth

321
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 1: all the nonsense. For you. Tell that to the people

322
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 1: who have lost their jobs, you know, Tell that to

323
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 1: the people who are losing family members to severe depression

324
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:11,400
Speaker 1: and to suicide, to the kids who are losing developmental

325
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 1: time in school that will never be able to get

326
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 1: back all the costs that we're willing to take on apparently,

327
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 1: or are we, because now all of a sudden, some

328
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 1: Blue states are saying, you know what, we might have

329
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:28,679
Speaker 1: to reopen soon. Oh we'll get into that in a moment,

330
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 1: because I first want to start with the ruled by

331
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:36,880
Speaker 1: science bullcrap here when it comes to the Keystone XL pipeline.

332
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:41,400
Speaker 1: Just as a quick review, the enviral wackos have decided

333
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:45,399
Speaker 1: this is this is gonna be like Waterloo for the

334
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 1: fossil fuel industry. They think this is the single most

335
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,360
Speaker 1: important battle they can wage. And they're all celebrating now,

336
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 1: and they got you know, Native American groups in on this,

337
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 1: and all all the left wing virtue signaling nonsense piled

338
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 1: together here to stop the Keystone XCEL pipeline. By way

339
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 1: of quick review, the Keystone Xcel pipeline would take the

340
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 1: oil sands from the from the from Canada, from Alberta

341
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:18,639
Speaker 1: and take them all the way down to the US

342
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:24,199
Speaker 1: Gulf Coast. That's what that's the whole thing, right, And

343
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:28,680
Speaker 1: it's a pipeline. And the truth is that this would

344
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 1: have just been a very efficient way because we refine

345
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 1: it so we would have a refinery agreement with them,

346
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:35,159
Speaker 1: and then we'd be able to distribute it to the

347
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:38,200
Speaker 1: whole world. This would be a very effective and efficient

348
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:42,119
Speaker 1: way to get the oil to market. And despite the

349
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 1: Left's best intentions otherwise, we have become America has become

350
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 1: because of fracking, an energy a true energy superpower. We're

351
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 1: really the world's global preeminent energy superpower. You don't hear

352
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 1: about that because about half the country Democrats are so

353
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:01,879
Speaker 1: brainwashed that they think that's not something to be proud of.

354
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 1: It absolutely is. It's the reason we have so much productivity.

355
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 1: The fossil fuel industry is used in the creation fifty

356
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 1: percent of oil, for example, and fossil fuel is used

357
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:19,120
Speaker 1: for products and is used in the distribution of products,

358
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 1: you know, distribution of things like vaccine, that's right. Want

359
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 1: you want an effective vaccination distribution program, you need a

360
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 1: lot of energy for logistics. You need a lot of

361
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:37,360
Speaker 1: energy in order to keep that temperature at negative whatever

362
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:40,640
Speaker 1: it is, a degree celsius so that the vaccine can

363
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 1: stay viable. And you need money for all of this,

364
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 1: and it becomes more expensive when oil and fossil fuels

365
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 1: are more expensive. They are fighting the modern economy itself,

366
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,440
Speaker 1: which is an absurdity, and they pretend that they're doing

367
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,479
Speaker 1: in the name of science, which is laughable. Do you

368
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 1: know what the net CO two benefit of blocking the

369
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 1: Keystone XL pipeline. According to multiple full State Department reviews,

370
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,160
Speaker 1: Because it is an international deal, the State Department got

371
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 1: to review it, including under the Obama administration, the net

372
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 1: CO two change is either negligible to zero or negative,

373
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:21,880
Speaker 1: meaning that this oil is still going to come out

374
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 1: of the ground. It's just going to be taken in

375
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 1: tankers and trucks to market instead of with a pipeline,

376
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 1: which is far more efficient and far more cost effective

377
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 1: and also less likely eutherapy leakage and spills which affect

378
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 1: the environment. The Keystone XL pipeline blockage is worse for

379
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 1: everyone in every way. It is worse for the environment,

380
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:48,359
Speaker 1: It is worse for business, It is worse for you

381
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 1: because of what it means for jobs, for the economy,

382
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:56,120
Speaker 1: and for energy costs. But Democrats are blocking it anyway.

383
00:23:56,160 --> 00:24:03,640
Speaker 1: Why because they can, Because the envirol wackos have convinced

384
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 1: themselves that this is a battle they have to win.

385
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 1: They have to show that they have the power even

386
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:14,360
Speaker 1: when all science and reason are against them, even when

387
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 1: there is no data to support their point of view.

388
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:22,400
Speaker 1: They have to find a situation like this where they

389
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 1: can rally together and get the government to shut down

390
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:31,360
Speaker 1: something because they don't like it. Oil is ikey, fossil

391
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 1: fuel bad. Shut it down. It's childish, it's destructive, it's stupid,

392
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 1: and it's the first thing that Biden does day one

393
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 1: in office, signs an executive order on this to stop

394
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 1: the Keystone XIL pipeline. There's no good faith argument about

395
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 1: why to shut this thing down compared to the alternatives,

396
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,639
Speaker 1: if it's really about the environment, unless you're gonna say, oh,

397
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:56,359
Speaker 1: it's because there would definitely be some kind of an

398
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 1: oil disaster. They don't know that, and pipelines are far

399
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 1: less likely to have spills and disasters than other forms

400
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:08,199
Speaker 1: of transport. Yeah, how many horrible oil pipeline disasters have

401
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:11,880
Speaker 1: you heard. You've heard of tankard disasters, right, transit point

402
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 1: disasters when it involves vehicles. But how many pipeline disasters

403
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 1: have you heard about in the United States recently? Yeah, exactly.

404
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 1: But this was the left flexing the environmentalist left, and

405
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:28,919
Speaker 1: they're a religious group. You have to understand that the

406
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 1: climate change activists, the anti pipeline activists, this is a

407
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 1: religious group of people who think they're too smart for religion,

408
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,680
Speaker 1: and so for them, it's just all about the victory.

409
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:45,159
Speaker 1: It's all about enforcing their will on the rest of

410
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 1: the American people and establishing that they have the power

411
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 1: to do that, even if it just means that the

412
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 1: outcomes are negative for everyone involved, which they are. This somehow,

413
00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 1: just like the BLM movement, which I said to you

414
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:03,680
Speaker 1: last summer, makes everything worse for everyone. There is no improvement.

415
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 1: It makes nothing better for people, doesn't make things better

416
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 1: for minorities, doesn't make things better for the police, doesn't

417
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 1: make things better for just Americans. Blocking the Keystone XIL

418
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:16,119
Speaker 1: pipeline is the same thing for the left. But it

419
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 1: shows you the mentality. This is just going to make

420
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 1: energy costs higher. This is going to cost lots of jobs,

421
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:27,160
Speaker 1: and it won't even if you believe that CO two

422
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 1: is going to melt the planet over time or whatever,

423
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 1: if you're a climate change alarmist alarmist, this does not

424
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:38,719
Speaker 1: stop the oil sands of Alberta from producing fossil fuels

425
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 1: that will make it to the global market. So it's

426
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:43,199
Speaker 1: the same either way. In fact that the distribution of

427
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 1: that oil sand now will require more fossil fuel. Therefore

428
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:49,680
Speaker 1: there'll be more CO two in the air. But they're

429
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 1: doing it anyway because they're fixated on it, because they

430
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 1: want to wield power, because we said, we don't like it.

431
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:03,159
Speaker 1: She's the ruled by science people, right, we don't like it,

432
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 1: so we're gonna stop. It doesn't make any sense. And

433
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 1: it's not the do you think, doctor Fouch it's gonna say.

434
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 1: You know, turns out if you look at the data

435
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 1: and all the you know, and all the scientists that

436
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 1: look at the Keystone XCEL and the CEO two, you know,

437
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 1: if you look at it, No, he's not, of course,

438
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 1: not for the same reason that Fauci won't say, open

439
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 1: up all the schools for the same reason that Fauci

440
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 1: won't say that wearing masks outside is the mandating outdoor

441
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 1: mask wearing is dumb and counterproductive. He won't say that

442
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 1: because he exists as a kind of you know, little

443
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 1: a little genie of left wing democrat science demagoguery, you know,

444
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 1: rub the lamp and Fauci appears to tell the Democrats

445
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 1: exactly what they want to hear about science, never tells

446
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:56,919
Speaker 1: them what they don't want to hear. This is the

Speaker 1: He may read it on the show. These channels are

450
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:11,719
Speaker 1: more antidemocrat than they are pro Trump. And the Biden

451
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,640
Speaker 1: bashing has been turned up to eleven and twelve and thirteen.

452
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 1: So has the media bashing. By the way, take a

453
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:19,920
Speaker 1: look at us some of the banners from Fox's air

454
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 1: in the past few days. Fox a huge member of

455
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 1: the national news media, pretending like it's not a member

456
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,639
Speaker 1: of the media at all, claiming that the media is

457
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 1: out to praise Biden, fawn over Biden. He's the media's messiah,

458
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 1: every hour, every day. That's the narrative, and it's gonna

459
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 1: be like this for the next four years. So Biden

460
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 1: can talk about politics not needing to be a raging fire,

461
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 1: that the fire doesn't have to be raging, but it is.

462
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 1: It is today, and it was yesterday and it will

463
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 1: be tomorrow. On these shows that millions of people watch.

464
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 1: Unity is impossible, Okay. The United States is living in

465
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 1: this parallel there's parallel universes within the United States. Unity

466
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 1: is not feasible. It's not. But can the temperature be

467
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 1: lowered just two or three degrees? Wouldn't that help? Isn't

468
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 1: that possible? Would it be better if you just gave

469
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 1: up all the things that you want to need and

470
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 1: add submit to the rule of science at CTED? The

471
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 1: rule of science at CNN has a good rig to it,

472
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 1: doesn't it? Yes, it does. Why are you saying that

473
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 1: the media is so nice? Debided? We're super hard at bided. Yeah.

474
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 1: Noticed that the problem is just that there's one channel

475
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 1: that is pointing out that all the other channels are

476
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 1: giving Biden a BackRub on air constantly. There's one but

477
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 1: one channel saying, look what these other channels are doing

478
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 1: that's not allowed. Should there be any opposition media whatsoever

479
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:48,480
Speaker 1: under a bid administration? Really ask yourself that question. The

480
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 1: journals in this country are so pathetic. There's such little

481
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 1: quizzlings that they seem to think that the real service

482
00:29:56,120 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 1: they can provide is to be cheerleaders for a administration

483
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 1: that has ninety five percent of the information purveyors out

484
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:08,719
Speaker 1: there in media, news and journalism to be completely on

485
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 1: their team. That's what we're told, that's the way it

486
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 1: should be. That's a that's a better way forward. I mean,

487
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 1: this is laughable. This is what they do, this is

488
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 1: what they demand, absolutely absurd. So with that, I also

489
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 1: want to point out that now they're having these Trump

490
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 1: is gone, let's have the high priests and priestesses of

491
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 1: the science bureaucracies come forward to speak to us about

492
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 1: what's really happening in the country, including doctor Deborah Burke's

493
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 1: best known I think for wearing colorful scarves at the

494
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 1: at the meetings that she was a frequent participant in

495
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 1: the early days of the COVID pandemic. Here she is

496
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 1: play play play six. Did you ever consider quitting? Always?

497
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 1: I mean, why would you want to put yourself through that?

498
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 1: Every day? Colleagues of mine that I'd known for decades,

499
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:14,480
Speaker 1: decades in that one experience, because I was in the

500
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 1: White House, decided that I had become this political person,

501
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 1: even though they had known me forever. I had to

502
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 1: ask myself every morning, is there something that I think

503
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:30,400
Speaker 1: I can do that would be helpful in responding to

504
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 1: this pandemic? And it's something I asked myself every night.

505
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 1: And when it became a point where I wasn't getting anywhere,

506
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 1: and that was like right before the election, I wrote

507
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 1: a very detailed communication plan of what needed to happen

508
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 1: the day after the election and how that needed to

509
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 1: be executed, and there was a lot of promise that

510
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 1: would happen. You knew at that point that the election

511
00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 1: was a factor in communication about the virus. Yes, did

512
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 1: you ever withhold information yourself? No, of course the election

513
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 1: was a factor in the way the virus is being

514
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 1: described the entire media. I mean, CNN made its coronavirus

515
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 1: death counter go away when Joe Biden came into office.

516
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:18,720
Speaker 1: You can see this, this is real, this happened, And

517
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 1: that's just one indicator. There are so many others. But

518
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 1: but now you know, doctor Burke's all this stuff they're

519
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:29,160
Speaker 1: saying about the Trump administration. The Trump administration listened to

520
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 1: Fauci and Burkes. They pushed for the fifteen days to

521
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 1: slow the spread, which was obviously preposterous now in retrospect,

522
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:38,960
Speaker 1: because it was really, you know, five months to slow

523
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 1: the spread and then now we're back to another five

524
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 1: months to slow the spread. It it was never just

525
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 1: fifteen days, but that's how they sold it. It was dishonest.

526
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 1: They were never going to let us reopen after fifteen days.

527
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 1: But now now you're starting to see, oh, that's right,

528
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 1: Joe Biden's in charge. Is everything better all of a sudden,

529
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 1: has the virus gone away way force? Not? In fact,

530
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 1: it's it has been the worst that it's ever been recently.

531
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 1: And yet Burks is out there because look, they want

532
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 1: to be liked by the establishment. Every the establishment is

533
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 1: so powerful. It's money, it's prestige, it's how people treat you. Right,

534
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 1: you want the establishment on your side if you can

535
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 1: have it. If you're one of these public health officials,

536
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 1: I get it. I understand same things true in media.

537
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 1: By the way, do you know any more options I

538
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 1: would have with my career right now? If I just

539
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 1: became a kind of even a sort of moderate controlled

540
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 1: opposition Republican. Yeah, I say with the Democrats, I kind

541
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 1: of talk them sometimes, but I say what the Democrats

542
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 1: mostly want me to say, go on so many more channels,

543
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 1: and you know, you get a bigger book deal and

544
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 1: all this stuff. Burks knows that, and that's why she's

545
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 1: got to come out now and say all this stuff.

546
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 1: When she and Fauci were failures with a big f

547
00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 1: failures in the way they came up with a response

548
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 1: to the pandemic. Everything about it, it was, it was absurd.

549
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 1: Here she is talking about the parallel data Play five.

550
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 1: Do you think President Trump appreciated the gravity of the

551
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 1: health crisis you were describing. I think the President appreciated

552
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:20,759
Speaker 1: the gravity. In March, it took a while after I

553
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 1: wrapped in the White House to remove all of the

554
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:27,919
Speaker 1: answer Larry data that was coming in. I mean, there

555
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 1: was parallel data stream coming into the White House that

556
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 1: were not transparently utilized, and I needed to stop that.

557
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:43,840
Speaker 1: Where apew mean outside advisors, outside advisors coming to inside advisors.

558
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:46,720
Speaker 1: And to this day, I mean until the day I left,

559
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 1: I am I'm convinced they were parallel data streams because

560
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 1: I disinformation I saw the President presenting graphs that I

561
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 1: never made, so I know that someone or someone out

562
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:04,279
Speaker 1: here or someone inside was creating a parallel set of

563
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 1: data and graphics that were shown to the president. I

564
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 1: know what I sent up, and I know that what

565
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:14,359
Speaker 1: was in his hands was different from that Who name

566
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:20,560
Speaker 1: names doctor Burkes, won't you? This is the Buck Sexton

567
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:26,399
Speaker 1: Show podcast. Follow Buck on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. I'm

568
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:29,959
Speaker 1: hopeful that members are going to be open minded, that

569
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 1: they are going to when they raise their hand and

570
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 1: take that oath, that they're going to view the evidence

571
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:39,920
Speaker 1: that is presented to them, and that they're going to

572
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:43,880
Speaker 1: do the right thing. I cannot be moved by the

573
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 1: mascinations of politics that are going on in the interim

574
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,919
Speaker 1: while we're trying to put this together. I think that

575
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:53,960
Speaker 1: you know, we're going to be speaking to all one

576
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 1: hundred centers. We're not going to be speaking to one

577
00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:59,839
Speaker 1: group or the other. And I'm hopeful that they're going

578
00:35:59,880 --> 00:36:04,759
Speaker 1: to do what's necessary to truly unify this country, and

579
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:08,960
Speaker 1: that unification can happen until there was a reckoning for

580
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:16,279
Speaker 1: crimes against it, unify by having one side purge the

581
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:21,279
Speaker 1: other of its most recent president. Unify by benning the

582
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:24,760
Speaker 1: knee and surrendering and promising that you'll be a meek

583
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:29,719
Speaker 1: and mild and submissive Republican party going forward. That's the

584
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:35,279
Speaker 1: pathway to unity. And as Chuck Schumer now said, a

585
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 1: majority leader, good God, as he says it, that's the

586
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 1: only way also to have accountability. Play that clip. Everyone

587
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:45,440
Speaker 1: wants to put this awful chapter in American history behind us,

588
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:48,560
Speaker 1: but sweeping it under the rug will not bring healing.

589
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 1: The only way to bring healing is to actually have

590
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:58,279
Speaker 1: real accountability, which this trial affords. And so we will

591
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 1: move forward with the trial. It will be fair, but

592
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:10,280
Speaker 1: it will move at a relatively fast pace. Unity through

593
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 1: your side being further humiliated. Isn't it amazing? Everybody wants

594
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:18,359
Speaker 1: to put this in their rear view mirror, but let's

595
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:21,120
Speaker 1: all focus on it for the next few weeks. This

596
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 1: is what they're telling you. Would it be like saying,

597
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:27,160
Speaker 1: you know, I know, you've been out in the sun

598
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 1: too long and you're burning, but stay out for another

599
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:32,880
Speaker 1: two hours because that's the best way to handle it.

600
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 1: This is insane. This is what they're telling you. They've

601
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:40,399
Speaker 1: got to justify this somehow, and they've got a problem here,

602
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:45,400
Speaker 1: because anybody who's looking at what's happening with a reasonable

603
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:50,480
Speaker 1: eye would say, hold on unity. Unity for our purposes

604
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:55,799
Speaker 1: here is going to mean doing the most divisive thing

605
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:59,000
Speaker 1: that can possibly do at this stage, to go after

606
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:01,799
Speaker 1: a former president. This is because they want to bar

607
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:05,879
Speaker 1: him from office. This is not because justice demands it.

608
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 1: This is not because they want that Trump died. They

609
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 1: want Trump to be the first president in history, in

610
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:17,879
Speaker 1: history to be convicted by a Senate trial as part

611
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 1: of the impeachment process and to be barred from running

612
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:23,440
Speaker 1: for future office. That's because they want to destroy the

613
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:27,839
Speaker 1: Trump movement right now, and they know that if they

614
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:30,760
Speaker 1: get this against the father, than any of his children,

615
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:34,439
Speaker 1: anyone else in the Trump world that wants to run

616
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 1: will have to deal with this. Now. Perhaps it'll backfire.

617
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:38,920
Speaker 1: I know some of you would make that argument that

618
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 1: this would then catapult Ivanka or Don Junior or somebody

619
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:44,240
Speaker 1: else to the front of the line for the GOP.

620
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:48,879
Speaker 1: I'm not confident that that's the case, and I think

621
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:52,400
Speaker 1: that there's I think that the political skills that Donald

622
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:59,000
Speaker 1: Trump Senior has are not necessarily transferable through pure genetics

623
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 1: to whoever else comes along with the name Trump, but

624
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:05,560
Speaker 1: I could be wrong on that. Well, no, I don't

625
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:08,480
Speaker 1: think I'm wrong on that, but I'm open to seeing

626
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 1: how this plays out. That all said, they want to

627
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:13,520
Speaker 1: make sure that Donald Trump can't run again because they

628
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 1: know he can win again. And we know that that's

629
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:20,440
Speaker 1: a possibility too, And this is why they're doing everything

630
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:24,919
Speaker 1: they can to tell you something that you know as

631
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 1: soon as it said to you is bs. You know

632
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:30,480
Speaker 1: that what they're saying as a false narrative, but they

633
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:34,399
Speaker 1: have no way around it. Let's all come together here

634
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:40,280
Speaker 1: through a divisive process. Let's lower the temperature by turning

635
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:49,279
Speaker 1: the temperature up. That's what post presidency conviction would be here.

636
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 1: And this is what they offer up. This is their

637
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:55,400
Speaker 1: their promise to all of us. And it's not only

638
00:39:56,880 --> 00:40:01,759
Speaker 1: it's not only the Democrats who are saying stuff. I

639
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 1: mean there are different levels among the Republicans. You've got Romney,

640
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:07,160
Speaker 1: who who's now effectively a Democrat. I mean Romney has

641
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:08,840
Speaker 1: made his bed now we should sleep in. And Romney

642
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:12,520
Speaker 1: as a Democrat. He's a moderate Democrat. That's what this

643
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:16,920
Speaker 1: guy has become. Marches with BLM, turns on it. I mean,

644
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:19,880
Speaker 1: remember he voted he would have more credibility with me

645
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:22,360
Speaker 1: now if he had had enough sense to not vote

646
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:27,360
Speaker 1: to impeach Trump and remove Trump the first time around

647
00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 1: over the Ukraine phone call, which was absurd. That was

648
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 1: just the whole problem. It was entirely bonkers, unserious stuff.

649
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:40,560
Speaker 1: But that is what Romney went for. Here he is

650
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:43,399
Speaker 1: telling us again, he's parroting the Chuck Schumer lines. It's

651
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:47,880
Speaker 1: like Chuck Schumer's handing him the script, Romney saying that

652
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:50,680
Speaker 1: the way to bring us all together is to spit

653
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 1: in the face of seventy five million Trump voters. Yeah,

654
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:57,400
Speaker 1: play eleven. Well, we're certainly going to have a trial.

655
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 1: I wish that weren't necessary. The president's conduct with regards

656
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 1: to the call the Secretary of State Raffensburger in Georgia,

657
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:09,120
Speaker 1: as well as the incitation towards the insurrection that led

658
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 1: to the attack on the Capitol calls for a trial.

659
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:14,880
Speaker 1: And you know, if we're going to have a unity

660
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:16,960
Speaker 1: in our country, I think it's important to recognize the

661
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:21,319
Speaker 1: need for accountability, for truth and justice. So I think

662
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 1: there will be a trial, and I hope it goes

663
00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:25,400
Speaker 1: as quickly as possible, But that's up to the Council

664
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:31,120
Speaker 1: on both sides. Yeah, there will be a trial. Unity, accountability.

665
00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:34,920
Speaker 1: These are the words you're going to hear. What about

666
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:37,600
Speaker 1: the old president that we have of You don't go

667
00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 1: back and look for prosecutions of the former administration. Donald

668
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:45,600
Speaker 1: Trump could could have pushed for and his doj could

669
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:49,800
Speaker 1: have gotten a criminal trial brought against Hillary Clinton for example,

670
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 1: and I know locker up chat and everything. Some people

671
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:55,799
Speaker 1: wanted that, but they didn't do it. Maybe disappointed a

672
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:57,560
Speaker 1: lot of Trump voters, but they didn't do it. Why

673
00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 1: because it sets a terrible precedent for politics in this

674
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 1: country to even have the even have the perception, the

675
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:10,600
Speaker 1: belief to be out there that that one side is

676
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:16,440
Speaker 1: weaponizing the prosecutorial apparatus against the other for political reasons.

677
00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:21,840
Speaker 1: This completely devolves a democracy. This destroys a republic. This

678
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:26,480
Speaker 1: ruins everything because it means that you establish a winner

679
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:32,840
Speaker 1: takeoff philosophy in politics that then becomes corrosive of everything.

680
00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:36,319
Speaker 1: It's not a temporary, peaceful transfer of power based upon

681
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:38,440
Speaker 1: the will of the people. It's how do we make

682
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:41,680
Speaker 1: sure we stay in charge because otherwise the other side

683
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:45,400
Speaker 1: is going to throw us into prison. Once that becomes

684
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:48,960
Speaker 1: the mentality It's no longer about our sacred democracy and

685
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:51,680
Speaker 1: who's count you know, who's who's getting to vote and

686
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:53,600
Speaker 1: have a say in their future. It's this is just

687
00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:58,719
Speaker 1: winner take all, bare knuckle power struggle. And that's why

688
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:00,560
Speaker 1: we haven't done that in the past. That's why there's

689
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:02,719
Speaker 1: you know, you even you even look at the approach

690
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:08,919
Speaker 1: taken in in situations where there have been, uh, there

691
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:13,040
Speaker 1: has been misconduct by politicians where you know they were

692
00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:14,680
Speaker 1: the president, and you look at Nixon, I mean the

693
00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:19,480
Speaker 1: pardon of Nixon by Ford, Nixon, Reagan, Ford and Johnson,

694
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:22,239
Speaker 1: you know, gurgling with Gurgan. I kind of missed that guy.

695
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:24,520
Speaker 1: But you look at all the things that go on

696
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:27,840
Speaker 1: and you say to yourself, there's a there's a bigger

697
00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:29,719
Speaker 1: picture here that we have to keep in mind. There

698
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:34,440
Speaker 1: are broader themes and issues at work, and that's what

699
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:38,840
Speaker 1: is being completely cast aside now, and very conveniently, I

700
00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:44,880
Speaker 1: would add, by Democrats just pushed aside. They don't care.

701
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:49,200
Speaker 1: They simply don't care. They think they have more important

702
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:54,799
Speaker 1: things to do, like destroying this president. Marco Rubio takes

703
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:57,560
Speaker 1: a kind of middle pathway here, and there's already new

704
00:43:57,640 --> 00:43:59,520
Speaker 1: stories out about how Ivanka is going to run for

705
00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:04,760
Speaker 1: his seat, so you know, he's he's trying to hold

706
00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:07,120
Speaker 1: on in Florida. He's looking for his place in the

707
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:09,920
Speaker 1: future of the party. Margot plays his cards right. He

708
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:12,799
Speaker 1: could be a name that really carries some sway among

709
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:15,120
Speaker 1: Republicans in the future. You don't know, you know, he

710
00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:18,920
Speaker 1: could have a second act here. But even he sees

711
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:22,439
Speaker 1: that while it might be in his immediate interests to

712
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:25,480
Speaker 1: turn on the Trump dynasty because of the challenge that

713
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:29,600
Speaker 1: Ivanka would bring to him in Florida, even with that

714
00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:34,399
Speaker 1: going on, he understands that this impeachment is just a

715
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:39,120
Speaker 1: terrible idea. Play fourteen. I think the president bears responsibility

716
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:41,680
Speaker 1: for some of what had happened. It was most certainly

717
00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:45,200
Speaker 1: a foreseeable consequence of everything that was going on, and

718
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:48,640
Speaker 1: I think that's widely understood. It maybe even better understood

719
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:51,120
Speaker 1: with the perspective of time. I think that's separate from

720
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:53,360
Speaker 1: the notion of let's revisit this all and stir it

721
00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:56,120
Speaker 1: up again. It's not. You know, the stories are still

722
00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:58,680
Speaker 1: going to be written, and there's criminal justice, investigations are

723
00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:00,640
Speaker 1: going to continue to move forward. All these things are

724
00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:02,799
Speaker 1: still going to happen. All I'm arguing is we have

725
00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:04,680
Speaker 1: some really important things to work on. You want to

726
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 1: really kind of bring the country together and remember once

727
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:09,600
Speaker 1: again how we can get things done. It isn't by

728
00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:12,520
Speaker 1: uniformity on all the issues. It's about working through a

729
00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:14,880
Speaker 1: process that allows people with different points of view to

730
00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:17,280
Speaker 1: debate all that and get to a solution for the country.

731
00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:19,640
Speaker 1: All that we're just gonna go. We're gonna jump right

732
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:21,719
Speaker 1: back into what we've been going through the last five

733
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:24,200
Speaker 1: years and stirring it up again with the trial, and

734
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:25,839
Speaker 1: it's just going to be bad for the country. It

735
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:29,600
Speaker 1: really is. It absolutely is, and anybody who anybody who's

736
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:32,719
Speaker 1: being honest can see that. But for Democrats, this isn't

737
00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:36,280
Speaker 1: about what's best for the country. We know that they're

738
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:40,200
Speaker 1: bitter still about Trump. The media is by and large

739
00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:43,040
Speaker 1: angry still because of what Donald Trump said about them,

740
00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:45,320
Speaker 1: did to them, the way he used his Twitter account

741
00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:49,360
Speaker 1: to slap them down. They haven't forgotten that they want payback.

742
00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:54,440
Speaker 1: This is all about payback now for a lot of Democrats.

743
00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:58,480
Speaker 1: For others is also payback plus control of the future

744
00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:01,360
Speaker 1: and making sure that Donald Trump is unable to run

745
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:06,040
Speaker 1: for office ever again and think about the stain that

746
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:08,080
Speaker 1: would leave on the Republican Party too. We'd be the

747
00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:10,600
Speaker 1: only party that has a president, given everything we've seen

748
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:13,840
Speaker 1: in the two hundred plus year history of this country,

749
00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:16,960
Speaker 1: would be the only political party to have a president

750
00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:19,800
Speaker 1: who not only is impeached after leaving office, but is

751
00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:22,640
Speaker 1: impeached and loses in a Senate trial. By the way,

752
00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:26,240
Speaker 1: I don't think that he will lose in this Senate trial,

753
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:32,000
Speaker 1: but in the attempt, then all they get is further division.

754
00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:34,840
Speaker 1: I think that the Republicans know that if Mitch McConnell

755
00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:37,720
Speaker 1: knows this, if they go for it and they fail,

756
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:41,640
Speaker 1: come at the King, you best not miss and the

757
00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:45,800
Speaker 1: Trumpster does not forget You're in the freedom hunt. Thanks

Speaker 1: latest from Buck at buck Sexton dot com. I don't

760
00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:56,799
Speaker 1: there's any question that what the whole country needs to

761
00:46:57,320 --> 00:46:59,759
Speaker 1: needs to focus on in terms of our elections is

762
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:03,760
Speaker 1: making sure that we have some effective electoral reform. Nobody

763
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:06,360
Speaker 1: wants to wait a week or two weeks or three weeks,

764
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:09,359
Speaker 1: which happened to some of the House races to get

765
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:11,319
Speaker 1: election results. We need to work on that and make

766
00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:15,560
Speaker 1: the system better for twenty twenty two. But this election

767
00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:20,280
Speaker 1: was not stolen. All of the facts point in that direction.

768
00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:24,160
Speaker 1: And I'm a former prosecutor, George. I make decisions based

769
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:29,200
Speaker 1: upon evidence, not based upon feelings or partisanship or loyalty.

770
00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:32,960
Speaker 1: You make those decisions based upon evidence, and the evidence

771
00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:36,279
Speaker 1: here has shown right from the beginning that while every

772
00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:39,000
Speaker 1: election has some irregularities, and I'm sure this one did too,

773
00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:42,200
Speaker 1: there were no type of irregularities that would have changed

774
00:47:42,239 --> 00:47:45,279
Speaker 1: the result in any one state, let alone the four

775
00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:47,799
Speaker 1: states that would need to have been changed for the

776
00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:50,200
Speaker 1: result of the election have been changed. And folks in

777
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:52,520
Speaker 1: my party who are doing that, quite frankly, are just

778
00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:55,560
Speaker 1: trying to make political points with those people who the

779
00:47:55,640 --> 00:47:59,160
Speaker 1: President and others lied to about this over the course

780
00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:01,880
Speaker 1: of the ten weeks to the election, and it's shameful

781
00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:04,560
Speaker 1: that they're doing it now. Chris Christie is one of

782
00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:08,319
Speaker 1: those guys who I think wants to establish control over

783
00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:10,480
Speaker 1: the GOP as well. I think I think he's going

784
00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:13,160
Speaker 1: to run. I think he sees himself as a national

785
00:48:13,239 --> 00:48:15,000
Speaker 1: level figure. I think he sees himself as a kind

786
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:17,200
Speaker 1: of anti Trump, and he also has a personal animus

787
00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:21,840
Speaker 1: here because based on everything that has been both reported

788
00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:23,520
Speaker 1: on this and that I've even heard from people in

789
00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:26,560
Speaker 1: and around the White House. Chris Christie was going to

790
00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:30,839
Speaker 1: be an important member of the Trump administration. But then

791
00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:34,319
Speaker 1: Jared Kushner. Remember that it was Christie that prosecuted his dad.

792
00:48:34,719 --> 00:48:36,600
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna tell you, you know, even if my

793
00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:40,160
Speaker 1: dad had had broken the law, fire in a position

794
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:41,560
Speaker 1: to feel like I was going to get even be

795
00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:45,880
Speaker 1: very it would take a very ethical, very honorable person

796
00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:49,720
Speaker 1: to say that they would let bygones be bygones and

797
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:53,799
Speaker 1: work closely with somebody who would put their father in prison. Right,

798
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:57,840
Speaker 1: a very ethical person. I you know, I'm very loyal

799
00:48:57,840 --> 00:48:59,959
Speaker 1: to my family, so I can understand how that would

800
00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:05,400
Speaker 1: be an issue. But Chris Christie, clearly, Chris Christie clearly

801
00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:09,960
Speaker 1: didn't forget about this, that Jared Kushner essentially pushed him

802
00:49:09,960 --> 00:49:12,920
Speaker 1: out of the White House when Trump won, And so

803
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:15,560
Speaker 1: now he thinks that there's a vulnerability. Now there's this

804
00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:19,399
Speaker 1: opportunity for a kind of payback, and I think that's

805
00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:22,279
Speaker 1: what Chris Christie's angling for. But a couple of things

806
00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:25,359
Speaker 1: I wanted to note here. One is that the whole

807
00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:29,960
Speaker 1: notion of proportionality in an election. We're supposed to be

808
00:49:30,080 --> 00:49:32,799
Speaker 1: the honest and good people who will say, yes there

809
00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:37,520
Speaker 1: were irregularities, Yes there were irregularities, but it wasn't enough

810
00:49:37,560 --> 00:49:40,840
Speaker 1: to overturn the election. So far, based on the evidence

811
00:49:41,280 --> 00:49:44,440
Speaker 1: that we have that has been provided in court, that

812
00:49:44,440 --> 00:49:46,719
Speaker 1: has been tested in court, which is very little, I know,

813
00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:51,520
Speaker 1: because of all of the standing issues with the courts,

814
00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:54,560
Speaker 1: but based on what has been presented in a court

815
00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:58,319
Speaker 1: so far, that what Christie is saying is true and

816
00:49:58,360 --> 00:50:01,680
Speaker 1: we need to understand that what he is saying it's true. However,

817
00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:08,560
Speaker 1: two things. One, the Democrats never did that with Russia collusion. Right,

818
00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:12,080
Speaker 1: they pretended that, oh, one hundred thousand dollars of Facebook ads.

819
00:50:12,239 --> 00:50:14,120
Speaker 1: I know people who are spending believe it or not,

820
00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:15,840
Speaker 1: this is true, one hundred thousand dollars a month to

821
00:50:15,880 --> 00:50:19,400
Speaker 1: push their podcast via Facebook. You know a lot of

822
00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:22,760
Speaker 1: these people that have these big podcasts, huge money going

823
00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:25,600
Speaker 1: into the advertising online of their podcast, so they can

824
00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:27,560
Speaker 1: have these high numbers even though they have them. You know,

825
00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:30,360
Speaker 1: their audiences, it's mostly based on people clicking and listening

826
00:50:30,360 --> 00:50:33,400
Speaker 1: for thirty seconds or a minute and then that's considered audience.

827
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:34,960
Speaker 1: I mean I've got people listen to this show. They

828
00:50:35,040 --> 00:50:37,840
Speaker 1: listen to all three hours of the show. You know,

829
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:40,000
Speaker 1: if you listen on podcasts only, it's almost two hours.

830
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:42,680
Speaker 1: People listen the whole thing. So thank you for that.

831
00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:45,200
Speaker 1: But there's this whole game that's being played now. Because

832
00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:47,799
Speaker 1: you get more advertisers, more downloads, you spend more money

833
00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:50,600
Speaker 1: to push the podcast online anyway, But just to give

834
00:50:50,600 --> 00:50:53,040
Speaker 1: you a sense of scale, one hundred thousand dollars on

835
00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:57,640
Speaker 1: Facebook is nothing. That's nothing for a presidential election. As

836
00:50:57,640 --> 00:50:59,840
Speaker 1: I've said all along, it would be like pouring a bucket.

837
00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:03,719
Speaker 1: You'd be like pouring a cup of hot tea into

838
00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:06,640
Speaker 1: the ocean and saying I've just affected the temperature of

839
00:51:06,640 --> 00:51:09,440
Speaker 1: the ocean. I mean, in a sense you could make

840
00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:12,360
Speaker 1: that argument, but not really, not in a measurable way.

841
00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:17,000
Speaker 1: But so we have to be honest and fair minded

842
00:51:17,040 --> 00:51:20,560
Speaker 1: about that. They don't. And that's a very that's a

843
00:51:20,640 --> 00:51:25,319
Speaker 1: very fundamental difference in the approach here. Right, We're going

844
00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:27,920
Speaker 1: to move past this based on where the based on

845
00:51:27,920 --> 00:51:29,759
Speaker 1: the evidence that we have that we could present in court.

846
00:51:29,960 --> 00:51:33,600
Speaker 1: Democrats never did that. So don't feel at all like

847
00:51:33,719 --> 00:51:38,040
Speaker 1: you should be lectured by Democrats who have newly discovered

848
00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:40,800
Speaker 1: principles when it comes to the rules of evidence and

849
00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:47,080
Speaker 1: legal procedure and election integrity and security. Democrats don't want

850
00:51:47,120 --> 00:51:51,480
Speaker 1: election integrity. They don't want it at every action. I'm

851
00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:53,320
Speaker 1: not just talking to this election. I'm saying in general,

852
00:51:53,680 --> 00:51:57,800
Speaker 1: every action they take, whether it's voter ID purging the

853
00:51:57,880 --> 00:52:00,000
Speaker 1: voter roles of people that don't live in the state anymore,

854
00:52:00,239 --> 00:52:04,160
Speaker 1: every action they take is intended to allow a greater

855
00:52:04,280 --> 00:52:07,200
Speaker 1: number of illegitimate ballots. Because Democrats, with their you know,

856
00:52:07,239 --> 00:52:11,600
Speaker 1: with their community organizers and activists and everything, believe that

857
00:52:11,640 --> 00:52:16,080
Speaker 1: they will always that a more lax voting system will

858
00:52:16,120 --> 00:52:19,960
Speaker 1: benefit them, that a greater number of the more the

859
00:52:20,280 --> 00:52:25,360
Speaker 1: irregularities that exist, the better chance they are of the

860
00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:28,920
Speaker 1: better chance they have of winning. That is the Democrat

861
00:52:29,040 --> 00:52:33,560
Speaker 1: viewpoint on this. And Chris Christie is very dismissive about this,

862
00:52:33,680 --> 00:52:36,719
Speaker 1: is very quick to say, oh, you know Trump, Yeah,

863
00:52:36,760 --> 00:52:38,919
Speaker 1: Trump went too far that I tell you that other

864
00:52:38,960 --> 00:52:41,239
Speaker 1: people don't. And they're just trying to drive up their

865
00:52:41,280 --> 00:52:43,520
Speaker 1: audience and drive up their numbers right now because they have,

866
00:52:43,680 --> 00:52:45,640
Speaker 1: you know, they have no integrity. So they'll still say that,

867
00:52:45,719 --> 00:52:47,360
Speaker 1: you know, Trump didn't you know he was true, and

868
00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:50,080
Speaker 1: everything he said was right. It's not true. Trump went

869
00:52:50,080 --> 00:52:52,680
Speaker 1: too far. He said things that he could not prove,

870
00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:54,920
Speaker 1: that he did not have the evidence for, and he

871
00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:57,120
Speaker 1: might have cost us the Senate in Georgia as well

872
00:52:57,160 --> 00:52:59,200
Speaker 1: with all these shenanigans. I think that's also a fair

873
00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:02,320
Speaker 1: argument to make. It's just the truth, friends. It's the

874
00:53:02,560 --> 00:53:04,720
Speaker 1: same way that we're now dealing with. Okay, what are Trump?

875
00:53:04,920 --> 00:53:11,440
Speaker 1: What were the real accomplishments? Supreme Court? Yes, judges, yes, regulations, taxes,

876
00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:15,680
Speaker 1: let's say goodbye to those. Those are gone already. Right,

877
00:53:16,520 --> 00:53:23,080
Speaker 1: So they were stylistic and rhetorical advantages. But we need

878
00:53:23,080 --> 00:53:25,680
Speaker 1: to be very clear eyed. We need to be very

879
00:53:25,760 --> 00:53:28,240
Speaker 1: honest about what has gone on here with the last

880
00:53:28,280 --> 00:53:30,640
Speaker 1: election and what's going to go on to the next election.

884
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:45,200
Speaker 1: What's going on inside the Beltway with all this political

885
00:53:45,239 --> 00:53:48,440
Speaker 1: back and forth? We got our man in DC joining

886
00:53:48,520 --> 00:53:52,960
Speaker 1: us now, Harlan Hill. He is the principal at Logan

887
00:53:53,160 --> 00:53:57,720
Speaker 1: Circle Logan Circle Group. He's a political consultant and somebody

888
00:53:57,760 --> 00:53:59,680
Speaker 1: who knows what's going on in that town and how

889
00:53:59,680 --> 00:54:01,960
Speaker 1: it to the rest of the country. Harl And great

890
00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:07,720
Speaker 1: to have you back. What's what's the feel like these days? Uh,

891
00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:13,160
Speaker 1: within within GOP circles about the continuation of a National

892
00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:16,839
Speaker 1: Guard deployment to coincide with what's happening now with this

893
00:54:16,960 --> 00:54:19,600
Speaker 1: impeachment farce. Yeah, I mean I could tell you I

894
00:54:19,680 --> 00:54:23,279
Speaker 1: just got back into Washington yesterday and there's still a

895
00:54:23,320 --> 00:54:26,080
Speaker 1: presence on the streets here. I mean, it's really unprecedented.

896
00:54:26,120 --> 00:54:29,960
Speaker 1: And the transfer of power which went off. You know,

897
00:54:30,320 --> 00:54:33,080
Speaker 1: obviously we have that insurrection at the capital, the so

898
00:54:33,160 --> 00:54:36,040
Speaker 1: called insurrection of the capital. But yeah, there's a bunch

899
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:39,960
Speaker 1: of Abuba's acting stupid and breaking the law. The response

900
00:54:39,960 --> 00:54:44,080
Speaker 1: to that since then has been draconian. You know, putting

901
00:54:44,080 --> 00:54:48,960
Speaker 1: that the nation's capital under total military occupation is uh

902
00:54:49,280 --> 00:54:52,200
Speaker 1: the wrong message to send, not just to Americans but

903
00:54:52,719 --> 00:54:55,320
Speaker 1: to the world. Um, you know, we look like fools.

904
00:54:55,719 --> 00:54:57,239
Speaker 1: Well tell us what what are some of the things

905
00:54:57,239 --> 00:54:59,520
Speaker 1: you've had to deal with. I mean, there's there's like

906
00:54:59,560 --> 00:55:01,640
Speaker 1: a zone own right, I mean, they and you have

907
00:55:01,719 --> 00:55:06,040
Speaker 1: to present special documents to prove your residence. I mean,

908
00:55:06,280 --> 00:55:08,879
Speaker 1: for people that don't live in DC. This it's been

909
00:55:08,920 --> 00:55:11,120
Speaker 1: really weird for folks like you, right, I mean, the

910
00:55:11,760 --> 00:55:15,759
Speaker 1: new Schumer Pelosi Biden regime here is saying, you know,

911
00:55:15,880 --> 00:55:21,080
Speaker 1: papers please. Absolutely, they've they've curved a little bit of

912
00:55:21,080 --> 00:55:25,520
Speaker 1: that now, but for well over a week up until

913
00:55:25,560 --> 00:55:29,520
Speaker 1: just about a day ago. In order to access your

914
00:55:29,719 --> 00:55:32,920
Speaker 1: your place of business or your home if it was

915
00:55:32,960 --> 00:55:35,600
Speaker 1: in a side of what they called the green zone,

916
00:55:35,680 --> 00:55:40,360
Speaker 1: borrowing that term from Baghdad, you know, which is that

917
00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:42,120
Speaker 1: was the official term they used, by the way, to

918
00:55:42,160 --> 00:55:46,439
Speaker 1: describe the security zone in downtown Washington, DC, you had

919
00:55:46,480 --> 00:55:49,799
Speaker 1: to present either a copy of your lease with your

920
00:55:49,880 --> 00:55:52,880
Speaker 1: name on it or your mortgage. If you had a

921
00:55:52,880 --> 00:55:55,439
Speaker 1: car that was parked in a parking garage in downtown DC,

922
00:55:55,640 --> 00:55:58,000
Speaker 1: you were not able to get it out. You were stuck.

923
00:55:58,520 --> 00:56:00,719
Speaker 1: There was no trash pick up, there was no mail

924
00:56:00,760 --> 00:56:04,080
Speaker 1: deliver I mean, it's just crazy. This is the nation's capital.

925
00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:08,000
Speaker 1: This is the nation's capital, and uh, you know it,

926
00:56:08,160 --> 00:56:11,440
Speaker 1: it's a full bone military occupation. I mean if if

927
00:56:11,480 --> 00:56:14,680
Speaker 1: if a Republican administration had done this, I cannot I

928
00:56:14,760 --> 00:56:20,279
Speaker 1: cannot imagine the militarmatic outrage that would have transpired on

929
00:56:20,440 --> 00:56:23,839
Speaker 1: on on CNN and MSNBC, right, we'd still be talking

930
00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:26,279
Speaker 1: about it. What do you make, Harlotte of the the

931
00:56:26,280 --> 00:56:31,759
Speaker 1: the very consistent now uh talking point from Democrats and

932
00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:35,880
Speaker 1: some Republicans out there. But you have people like um,

933
00:56:36,600 --> 00:56:40,680
Speaker 1: you have people out there like uh, Chuck Schumer and

934
00:56:40,960 --> 00:56:45,359
Speaker 1: even Mitt Romney saying that unity will be achieved through

935
00:56:45,400 --> 00:56:51,239
Speaker 1: this highly divisive process of impeaching a former president. Yeah,

936
00:56:51,360 --> 00:56:54,160
Speaker 1: and and and now I'll add to that, you have

937
00:56:54,880 --> 00:56:59,359
Speaker 1: sitting Republican US senators who are announcing that they are

938
00:56:59,400 --> 00:57:02,280
Speaker 1: not sure how they're going to vote in an impeachment

939
00:57:02,320 --> 00:57:06,120
Speaker 1: trial in the US Senate, but they know that they're

940
00:57:06,120 --> 00:57:08,320
Speaker 1: not running for re election in twenty twenty two. This

941
00:57:08,440 --> 00:57:11,720
Speaker 1: just came out of Ohio with Rob Portman, Republican senator

942
00:57:11,760 --> 00:57:14,920
Speaker 1: from Ohio. He literally said that, he says, I'm not

943
00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:17,040
Speaker 1: sure how I'm gonna vote. I'm gonna see, I'm gonna see,

944
00:57:17,040 --> 00:57:20,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna wait to see how the cases presented, but

945
00:57:20,160 --> 00:57:21,760
Speaker 1: i know that I'm not going to vote. I'm not

946
00:57:21,760 --> 00:57:23,480
Speaker 1: going to stand for re election in twenty two. So

947
00:57:23,640 --> 00:57:25,760
Speaker 1: that tells me everything I need to know. He's going

948
00:57:25,800 --> 00:57:29,120
Speaker 1: to vote to impeach President Trump. So really the problem,

949
00:57:29,240 --> 00:57:34,720
Speaker 1: this divisiveness and the lack of willing its to turn

950
00:57:34,760 --> 00:57:36,640
Speaker 1: the page on this and to start healing as a

951
00:57:36,760 --> 00:57:41,600
Speaker 1: nation and as a party, really originates within the Republican Party.

952
00:57:42,040 --> 00:57:45,920
Speaker 1: I mean, there wouldn't even be a credible discussion about

953
00:57:45,920 --> 00:57:48,640
Speaker 1: whether the president could be the formal president could be

954
00:57:48,640 --> 00:57:54,040
Speaker 1: convicted if it wasn't for Mitch McConnell, Meant Romney, all

955
00:57:54,040 --> 00:57:57,880
Speaker 1: these other establishment Republicans standing up and saying that they're

956
00:57:58,080 --> 00:58:01,680
Speaker 1: considering supporting it. Talking to Harland Hill, he's a principle

957
00:58:01,880 --> 00:58:08,000
Speaker 1: at Logan Circle Group, a political consultancy advisory down in DC. Harlan,

958
00:58:08,080 --> 00:58:10,280
Speaker 1: do you do you think they're going to have You know,

959
00:58:10,320 --> 00:58:12,240
Speaker 1: you're in contact with Hill folks. You know what's going

960
00:58:12,280 --> 00:58:14,160
Speaker 1: on down there. Do you think they're gonna have the

961
00:58:14,720 --> 00:58:17,960
Speaker 1: what is it, seventeen Republican votes they would need for conviction?

962
00:58:19,520 --> 00:58:24,000
Speaker 1: You know, I don't think so. I know that. I mean,

963
00:58:24,240 --> 00:58:27,560
Speaker 1: there's there's a considerable portion of the Republican caucus in

964
00:58:27,600 --> 00:58:31,520
Speaker 1: the Senate that I think um would support it. Now,

965
00:58:31,600 --> 00:58:33,920
Speaker 1: whether or not they end up coming out and supporting

966
00:58:33,920 --> 00:58:37,000
Speaker 1: it in the end will entirely depend on whether they

967
00:58:37,040 --> 00:58:39,400
Speaker 1: hit that number right. So, it's either going to be

968
00:58:39,520 --> 00:58:41,480
Speaker 1: a lot of people stay silent. Maybe a few people

969
00:58:41,520 --> 00:58:44,360
Speaker 1: like Admit Romney take a take take a vote out

970
00:58:44,360 --> 00:58:47,600
Speaker 1: of you know what they call their conscience. UM. But

971
00:58:48,080 --> 00:58:49,680
Speaker 1: you know, I don't think we're going to see them

972
00:58:49,720 --> 00:58:52,880
Speaker 1: come up, you know, four or five votes short. Either

973
00:58:52,880 --> 00:58:54,520
Speaker 1: they're going to hit the number or they're going to

974
00:58:54,600 --> 00:58:59,360
Speaker 1: be well short of it. Um And uh I from

975
00:58:59,360 --> 00:59:01,760
Speaker 1: what I'm here, they don't have it right now. They

976
00:59:01,840 --> 00:59:04,400
Speaker 1: don't have it. And I think that that's why it's

977
00:59:04,440 --> 00:59:10,439
Speaker 1: important that president former President Trump um stays away from

978
00:59:10,480 --> 00:59:13,600
Speaker 1: this notion of creating a new party. That's a really

979
00:59:13,600 --> 00:59:15,920
Speaker 1: hard thing to do. I mean, and let's talk about this.

980
00:59:15,960 --> 00:59:18,640
Speaker 1: I mean, there's been some reporting about a about a

981
00:59:18,640 --> 00:59:22,120
Speaker 1: positive thing that the Patriot Party a third party. Where

982
00:59:22,120 --> 00:59:25,600
Speaker 1: does that stand? And what are we hearing about that? Yeah,

983
00:59:25,840 --> 00:59:28,840
Speaker 1: I'm hearing that the former president Trump is back off

984
00:59:28,840 --> 00:59:31,920
Speaker 1: on that idea. I'm a pretty well placed actually the

985
00:59:32,080 --> 00:59:35,840
Speaker 1: source on that the Trump has backed up on that idea,

986
00:59:36,120 --> 00:59:38,920
Speaker 1: that he understands that he has to transform the party

987
00:59:39,280 --> 00:59:43,560
Speaker 1: from within, and that he can do that by continuing

988
00:59:43,600 --> 00:59:47,600
Speaker 1: to be a fundraising machine. UM. To build that a

989
00:59:47,600 --> 00:59:53,000
Speaker 1: political apparatus that can support UM loyal candidates to primary

990
00:59:53,080 --> 00:59:57,240
Speaker 1: Republicans that are not favorable to President Trump's agenda. UM

991
00:59:57,480 --> 01:00:00,240
Speaker 1: and and apparently that is the strategy that they're going take.

992
01:00:00,320 --> 01:00:04,720
Speaker 1: Looking forward, and you saw today Sarah Hackby Sanders. Now

993
01:00:04,720 --> 01:00:07,120
Speaker 1: since she's running for governor Knox, Arkansas. You know, so

994
01:00:07,160 --> 01:00:09,440
Speaker 1: you're starting to see some loyalists that are credible, not

995
01:00:09,520 --> 01:00:12,400
Speaker 1: some like fringe wackos. But Sarah could be. Sanders is

996
01:00:12,440 --> 01:00:14,480
Speaker 1: a credible person, you know, she really is. She comes

997
01:00:14,480 --> 01:00:17,280
Speaker 1: from a great political family, She's a nice person. She

998
01:00:17,400 --> 01:00:20,440
Speaker 1: was an effective a soldier for for President Trump at

999
01:00:20,440 --> 01:00:23,880
Speaker 1: the White House. Um and, uh, you know, she's the

1000
01:00:23,880 --> 01:00:26,320
Speaker 1: first one. But from what I know, I can't go

1001
01:00:26,360 --> 01:00:29,680
Speaker 1: into it on air, but I know many other names

1002
01:00:29,680 --> 01:00:32,880
Speaker 1: that are sort of her same pedigree that are being

1003
01:00:33,120 --> 01:00:38,880
Speaker 1: slotted into races around the country. You think that members

1004
01:00:38,880 --> 01:00:41,680
Speaker 1: of the Trump family, there's all these stories about Ivanka

1005
01:00:41,920 --> 01:00:45,360
Speaker 1: against Rubio and Florida. What do you make of that? Yeah,

1006
01:00:45,400 --> 01:00:48,200
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know if that's gonna if

1007
01:00:48,200 --> 01:00:50,920
Speaker 1: that's gonna happen. You know, I'm sure that members of

1008
01:00:50,960 --> 01:00:54,320
Speaker 1: the Trump family are going to run. Uh. You know,

1009
01:00:54,320 --> 01:00:58,200
Speaker 1: obviously it's been floated the idea of Laura Trump, Eric

1010
01:00:58,280 --> 01:01:02,400
Speaker 1: Trump's wife and a senior advisor on the campaign in

1011
01:01:02,440 --> 01:01:06,120
Speaker 1: twenty twenty UM that she would run for office in

1012
01:01:06,160 --> 01:01:09,240
Speaker 1: her home state of North Carolina. I think that's probable,

1013
01:01:09,360 --> 01:01:11,680
Speaker 1: you know, I put my money on that. UM. Whether

1014
01:01:11,720 --> 01:01:16,160
Speaker 1: Ivanka decides to run against Rubio at this point, I

1015
01:01:16,240 --> 01:01:18,720
Speaker 1: think that that might be something that is that has

1016
01:01:18,760 --> 01:01:25,240
Speaker 1: floated in order to UM influence Rubio's loyalty, both of

1017
01:01:25,320 --> 01:01:28,640
Speaker 1: this impeachment process and through through some others UM, and

1018
01:01:28,880 --> 01:01:32,080
Speaker 1: so far, I think it's it's mostly worked. UM. You know,

1019
01:01:32,080 --> 01:01:35,400
Speaker 1: it's it's an effective tool that the threat of primary

1020
01:01:35,880 --> 01:01:38,760
Speaker 1: being primary by Trump. I mean that that could be devastating,

1021
01:01:38,880 --> 01:01:41,600
Speaker 1: depending on what state and what race you're talking about.

1022
01:01:42,080 --> 01:01:45,440
Speaker 1: Then the national money that that machine can bring to

1023
01:01:45,560 --> 01:01:50,120
Speaker 1: their along with the the influence of UH for up

1024
01:01:50,120 --> 01:01:52,120
Speaker 1: President Trump, which I don't think has waned with the

1025
01:01:52,160 --> 01:01:56,920
Speaker 1: Republican primary electorate, it's huge. It's huge, you know. And

1026
01:01:56,960 --> 01:01:59,400
Speaker 1: now whether or not those candidates that the president supports

1027
01:01:59,440 --> 01:02:01,960
Speaker 1: will win general elections, you know, we'll have to see

1028
01:02:01,960 --> 01:02:05,680
Speaker 1: how that plays out. But in terms of winning primaries,

1029
01:02:05,680 --> 01:02:08,360
Speaker 1: I think the Presence Coalition, if they execute this right

1030
01:02:08,680 --> 01:02:12,840
Speaker 1: they build the organization right, it'll be immense Harlan. What

1031
01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:17,480
Speaker 1: happens if they do, in fact convict the president, I mean,

1032
01:02:17,480 --> 01:02:19,680
Speaker 1: what happens within the GOP right we know me that

1033
01:02:19,680 --> 01:02:22,400
Speaker 1: Trump can't run again. Then what do you see as

1034
01:02:22,440 --> 01:02:27,160
Speaker 1: the fallout? Well, I think it's devastating. I mean, I

1035
01:02:27,160 --> 01:02:29,760
Speaker 1: think it's a complete civil war. I'm starting to see

1036
01:02:29,800 --> 01:02:33,320
Speaker 1: it sort of play out a little bit privately. There's

1037
01:02:33,320 --> 01:02:37,760
Speaker 1: a lot of internal squabbling between people in the establishment,

1038
01:02:37,960 --> 01:02:42,320
Speaker 1: people in Magaworld, and then people in Magaworld and other

1039
01:02:42,320 --> 01:02:45,000
Speaker 1: people in Magwarred. There's a lot of infighting right now, Bob.

1040
01:02:46,720 --> 01:02:49,840
Speaker 1: You know, if they do convict the president, which will

1041
01:02:49,880 --> 01:02:53,840
Speaker 1: require a significant level of support from the Republican caucus

1042
01:02:53,880 --> 01:03:01,880
Speaker 1: in the Senate, you know, I fear that that will

1043
01:03:02,240 --> 01:03:06,880
Speaker 1: turn off an important segment of the electorate for Republicans

1044
01:03:06,960 --> 01:03:08,520
Speaker 1: to such a degree that they might stay home. We

1045
01:03:08,520 --> 01:03:10,800
Speaker 1: already got a taste of that with Georgia. We gotta

1046
01:03:10,840 --> 01:03:14,960
Speaker 1: taste that this this idea that oh it's rigged. The

1047
01:03:15,000 --> 01:03:18,760
Speaker 1: Republican leadership in George is terrible. Just stay home, don't

1048
01:03:18,800 --> 01:03:21,280
Speaker 1: even vote. And you know what, I don't know that

1049
01:03:21,480 --> 01:03:24,600
Speaker 1: I don't know that it was you know, ten or

1050
01:03:24,600 --> 01:03:27,240
Speaker 1: fifteen percent the potential vote. But we do know that

1051
01:03:27,240 --> 01:03:31,720
Speaker 1: that the turnout was wasn't what it was on election day. Um,

1052
01:03:32,040 --> 01:03:36,800
Speaker 1: and you know that that message may have resonated with

1053
01:03:36,880 --> 01:03:40,000
Speaker 1: some people and it may have impacted the results of

1054
01:03:40,040 --> 01:03:43,640
Speaker 1: that election, the runoff election in Georgia. So you know,

1055
01:03:43,680 --> 01:03:46,320
Speaker 1: we got to keep the coalition together, you know. And

1056
01:03:46,320 --> 01:03:50,400
Speaker 1: and and um, you know when we were talking, Democrats

1057
01:03:50,440 --> 01:03:52,880
Speaker 1: are talking about unity, they don't mean it. But we

1058
01:03:52,920 --> 01:03:55,160
Speaker 1: can talk about unity with our within our party and

1059
01:03:55,200 --> 01:03:57,720
Speaker 1: we better mean it or you know, we're gonna spend

1060
01:03:57,720 --> 01:03:59,840
Speaker 1: a lot of time in the wilderness and we can't

1061
01:04:00,040 --> 01:04:02,480
Speaker 1: for it because we already see what the result of

1062
01:04:02,520 --> 01:04:05,280
Speaker 1: that is when Democrats control the House of Senate and

1063
01:04:05,320 --> 01:04:07,600
Speaker 1: the White House is devastating. Do you think that the

1064
01:04:07,600 --> 01:04:10,960
Speaker 1: geo we're speaking of, Harlan Hill, he is a principal

1065
01:04:11,000 --> 01:04:15,800
Speaker 1: at Logan Circle, Logan Circle Group in DC. And I

1066
01:04:15,800 --> 01:04:19,600
Speaker 1: mean Harlan's involved in actual campaigns and understands that the

1067
01:04:19,640 --> 01:04:23,240
Speaker 1: machinery here of what goes on inside the Beltway that

1068
01:04:23,240 --> 01:04:25,280
Speaker 1: that affects, of course the rest of the country through

1069
01:04:26,040 --> 01:04:29,520
Speaker 1: through these these elections. And and Harlan, do you think

1070
01:04:29,560 --> 01:04:32,280
Speaker 1: that the GOP, assuming for a second for our purposes

1071
01:04:32,320 --> 01:04:35,400
Speaker 1: of discussion, that there is no conviction of Trump by

1072
01:04:35,400 --> 01:04:39,320
Speaker 1: the Senate, have we has the GOP had the necessary

1073
01:04:39,320 --> 01:04:42,760
Speaker 1: discussions and learned the necessary lessons at this stage to

1074
01:04:42,880 --> 01:04:47,120
Speaker 1: begin that process of putting in place a winning strategy

1075
01:04:47,160 --> 01:04:49,400
Speaker 1: for twenty twenty two Or do you feel like the

1076
01:04:49,480 --> 01:04:52,080
Speaker 1: tough conversations within the family, so to speak, of the

1077
01:04:52,160 --> 01:04:56,200
Speaker 1: GOP haven't really been had yet. I think they are

1078
01:04:56,240 --> 01:05:00,840
Speaker 1: happening right now where they're starting to happen, and I

1079
01:05:00,920 --> 01:05:02,520
Speaker 1: don't I don't mean to go back to it. I'm

1080
01:05:02,560 --> 01:05:06,960
Speaker 1: just gonna quickly reference it, the the the the y

1081
01:05:07,040 --> 01:05:09,280
Speaker 1: in the road, the fourth in the road. Here is

1082
01:05:09,320 --> 01:05:12,840
Speaker 1: what the party decides to do about this impeachment process,

1083
01:05:13,560 --> 01:05:16,160
Speaker 1: right that that that is what will put a wedge

1084
01:05:16,280 --> 01:05:21,080
Speaker 1: in in within our party to basically create a party divorce,

1085
01:05:21,680 --> 01:05:25,840
Speaker 1: a civil war. It will have to be resolved. Um

1086
01:05:25,880 --> 01:05:27,880
Speaker 1: and and it's and and a lot of egos are

1087
01:05:27,880 --> 01:05:29,320
Speaker 1: going to be hurt in the process. A lot of

1088
01:05:29,320 --> 01:05:31,520
Speaker 1: people's brands are gonna be damaged in the process. It's

1089
01:05:31,520 --> 01:05:36,000
Speaker 1: gonna be in the liberal media will love it. They

1090
01:05:36,000 --> 01:05:38,800
Speaker 1: will love it. You know, it'll make twenty sixteen, the

1091
01:05:39,200 --> 01:05:41,640
Speaker 1: primary in twenty fifteen, twenty sixteen within the Republican Party

1092
01:05:41,640 --> 01:05:46,000
Speaker 1: look like a cake walk. Okay, so um, you know,

1093
01:05:46,080 --> 01:05:48,200
Speaker 1: those conversations are starting to happen. But I think a

1094
01:05:48,240 --> 01:05:50,760
Speaker 1: lot of people buck are waiting to see how that

1095
01:05:51,000 --> 01:05:55,640
Speaker 1: turns out, because that will determine, you know, where the part,

1096
01:05:55,800 --> 01:05:58,000
Speaker 1: how much the party values the Trump wing of the

1097
01:05:58,040 --> 01:06:00,480
Speaker 1: Republican Party, and whether they're going to tell him to

1098
01:06:00,600 --> 01:06:03,080
Speaker 1: you know, shut up and get in line, um or

1099
01:06:03,320 --> 01:06:05,200
Speaker 1: you know, hey, we're we're all in the same te

1100
01:06:05,440 --> 01:06:07,920
Speaker 1: run a fight for each other, um. And and that's

1101
01:06:07,920 --> 01:06:10,080
Speaker 1: what the Republican Party should do, you know, I mean,

1102
01:06:10,400 --> 01:06:12,440
Speaker 1: we are we are We have become a big tent party.

1103
01:06:12,480 --> 01:06:15,520
Speaker 1: I mean this party has fundamentally changed under under Trump,

1104
01:06:15,560 --> 01:06:18,360
Speaker 1: which is why I I long resisted the notion of

1105
01:06:18,520 --> 01:06:20,680
Speaker 1: creating a new party because you know, he already executed

1106
01:06:20,680 --> 01:06:22,480
Speaker 1: your hostile to take over it and introduced all these

1107
01:06:22,480 --> 01:06:26,000
Speaker 1: new ideas, grew the party, made it a more of

1108
01:06:26,000 --> 01:06:29,680
Speaker 1: a working class party. UM expanded its reach and support

1109
01:06:29,680 --> 01:06:31,680
Speaker 1: within minority communities. But with the Presims, it was kind

1110
01:06:31,720 --> 01:06:33,680
Speaker 1: of amazing. It's kind of amazing. We love and or

1111
01:06:33,720 --> 01:06:36,040
Speaker 1: hate him. It was you know, it's a it's a's

1112
01:06:36,120 --> 01:06:41,120
Speaker 1: huge transformational um and you know, we have to see

1113
01:06:41,240 --> 01:06:45,960
Speaker 1: whether the whether the the the establishment ruling elites in

1114
01:06:46,080 --> 01:06:49,960
Speaker 1: Washington down there at the Republican National Committee UM are

1115
01:06:50,000 --> 01:06:54,200
Speaker 1: willing to cast that thirty five percent of the party

1116
01:06:54,720 --> 01:06:57,360
Speaker 1: aside or or or keep them in the fold. And

1117
01:06:57,840 --> 01:06:59,560
Speaker 1: for me, that's a no brainer. I know which way

1118
01:06:59,560 --> 01:07:03,120
Speaker 1: they should go. Harlan Hill follow him on social media.

1119
01:07:03,200 --> 01:07:07,800
Speaker 1: He is a principal at the Logan Circle. Logan Circle Group. Harlan,

1120
01:07:08,000 --> 01:07:11,000
Speaker 1: my friend, keep the GOP from imploding in the meantime. Okay,

1121
01:07:11,080 --> 01:07:13,600
Speaker 1: do your best. I'm trying. Thanks one man, talk to

1122
01:07:13,600 --> 01:07:19,720
Speaker 1: you soon. You're listening to the Fuck Sexton Show podcast,

1123
01:07:19,920 --> 01:07:22,640
Speaker 1: make sure you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeartRadio

1124
01:07:22,760 --> 01:07:27,080
Speaker 1: app or wherever you get your podcasts. Was their election

1125
01:07:27,440 --> 01:07:30,800
Speaker 1: fraud that still needs to be looked at, that needs

1126
01:07:30,840 --> 01:07:34,000
Speaker 1: to be presented in court. You know, this is the

1127
01:07:34,000 --> 01:07:35,840
Speaker 1: big question that still remains out there. As much as

1128
01:07:35,840 --> 01:07:38,120
Speaker 1: Democrats say there is no question, as much as we

1129
01:07:38,160 --> 01:07:40,440
Speaker 1: had Chris Christie before saying there was no question. I

1130
01:07:40,480 --> 01:07:43,240
Speaker 1: want to play for you. This is a pretty lengthy

1131
01:07:43,320 --> 01:07:46,120
Speaker 1: exchange here, but you need to hear it. And it's

1132
01:07:46,160 --> 01:07:48,560
Speaker 1: between one of my favorite senators. And he's not a

1133
01:07:48,600 --> 01:07:50,840
Speaker 1: warm and fuzzy guy, but I think he's a principled

1134
01:07:50,880 --> 01:07:53,840
Speaker 1: guy and a smart guy. You know. Not great at

1135
01:07:53,920 --> 01:07:56,920
Speaker 1: retail politics, not great at kissing babies and shaking hands,

1136
01:07:57,200 --> 01:07:59,439
Speaker 1: but he's smart. And I think he believes in in

1137
01:07:59,440 --> 01:08:02,000
Speaker 1: in the constant two individual liberty, and that's rand Paul.

1138
01:08:02,400 --> 01:08:05,960
Speaker 1: You know, I've always I've always thought Rampaul was was solid.

1139
01:08:06,160 --> 01:08:09,760
Speaker 1: Here he is going toe to toe with pundit aka

1140
01:08:09,880 --> 01:08:13,480
Speaker 1: journalist George Stephanopolis on the election fraud question. I want

1141
01:08:13,480 --> 01:08:15,120
Speaker 1: to play this for you so you can really hear

1142
01:08:15,360 --> 01:08:18,040
Speaker 1: this exchange. Go for it. But at the same time,

1143
01:08:18,120 --> 01:08:20,280
Speaker 1: I'm not willing just to sit here and say, oh,

1144
01:08:20,360 --> 01:08:22,639
Speaker 1: everybody in the Republican side is a liar and there

1145
01:08:22,680 --> 01:08:25,160
Speaker 1: is no fraud. No, there were lots of problems, and

1146
01:08:25,160 --> 01:08:28,280
Speaker 1: there were secretaries of the state who illegally change the law,

1147
01:08:28,320 --> 01:08:30,320
Speaker 1: and that needs to be fixed, and I'm gonna work

1148
01:08:30,320 --> 01:08:31,960
Speaker 1: hard to fix it. And I won't be cowed by

1149
01:08:31,960 --> 01:08:34,559
Speaker 1: people saying, oh, you're a liar. That's the problem with

1150
01:08:34,560 --> 01:08:36,800
Speaker 1: the media today, as they say all Republicans are liars,

1151
01:08:36,840 --> 01:08:38,840
Speaker 1: and everything we say is a lie. There are two

1152
01:08:38,840 --> 01:08:41,320
Speaker 1: sides to every story. Interview somebody on the other side,

1153
01:08:41,320 --> 01:08:43,680
Speaker 1: but don't insert yourself into the story to say we're

1154
01:08:43,720 --> 01:08:47,360
Speaker 1: all liars, because they are not. They are not two.

1155
01:08:47,520 --> 01:08:49,519
Speaker 1: There are not two sides of the story. This has

1156
01:08:49,560 --> 01:08:52,880
Speaker 1: been looked at in every single state. Yees are to

1157
01:08:52,920 --> 01:08:56,519
Speaker 1: fight every sides to every story. George, you're forgetting who

1158
01:08:56,560 --> 01:08:58,519
Speaker 1: you are. You're forgetting who you are as a journalist.

1159
01:08:58,560 --> 01:09:01,040
Speaker 1: If you think there's only one side, you're inserting yourself

1160
01:09:01,040 --> 01:09:03,439
Speaker 1: into the story to say I'm a liar because I

1161
01:09:03,479 --> 01:09:05,200
Speaker 1: want to look at election fraud and I want to

1162
01:09:05,200 --> 01:09:08,120
Speaker 1: look at secretaries of state who illegally change the voter

1163
01:09:08,280 --> 01:09:12,480
Speaker 1: laws without the permission of their state legislatures. That is incontrovertible.

1164
01:09:12,520 --> 01:09:14,400
Speaker 1: It happened, and you can't just sweep that under the

1165
01:09:14,479 --> 01:09:17,160
Speaker 1: rug and say, oh, nothing to see here, and everybody's

1166
01:09:17,160 --> 01:09:19,280
Speaker 1: a liar and you're a fool. If you bring this up,

1167
01:09:19,439 --> 01:09:22,559
Speaker 1: you're inserting yourself into the story. A journalist would hear

1168
01:09:22,640 --> 01:09:25,200
Speaker 1: both sides, and there are two sides of this. I'm

1169
01:09:25,240 --> 01:09:27,799
Speaker 1: standing by facts. There are not two sides to facts.

1170
01:09:28,000 --> 01:09:30,240
Speaker 1: I did not say that this was a perfect election.

1171
01:09:30,280 --> 01:09:32,679
Speaker 1: I said it was the results were certified. I said

1172
01:09:32,680 --> 01:09:36,479
Speaker 1: it was not stolen. Are liars? You're saying people are

1173
01:09:36,520 --> 01:09:39,280
Speaker 1: liars if they want to investigate what happened in the election.

1174
01:09:39,560 --> 01:09:42,720
Speaker 1: Should what I said? In fact, the tens of thousands

1175
01:09:42,760 --> 01:09:45,360
Speaker 1: of absentee ballots did not have addresses on them and

1176
01:09:45,479 --> 01:09:48,120
Speaker 1: normally were disqualified, but this time they were counted. Should

1177
01:09:48,120 --> 01:09:50,559
Speaker 1: we examine that. I don't know whether it affected the

1178
01:09:50,560 --> 01:09:52,640
Speaker 1: election or not, but I have an open mind. And

1179
01:09:52,680 --> 01:09:55,120
Speaker 1: if we actually examined this we found out it didn't,

1180
01:09:55,439 --> 01:09:58,679
Speaker 1: that's fine, but it still should be fixed. Still should

1181
01:09:59,360 --> 01:10:03,479
Speaker 1: be fixed. Democrats want to just that they want this

1182
01:10:03,600 --> 01:10:09,000
Speaker 1: thing sign sealed, delivered, no discussion, no discussion. It's how

1183
01:10:09,040 --> 01:10:12,000
Speaker 1: they wanted to be. Can't talk about it anymore, said

1184
01:10:12,040 --> 01:10:15,679
Speaker 1: a Rampaul. Very smart guy, and he's saying, oh, hold

1185
01:10:15,720 --> 01:10:19,160
Speaker 1: on a second, this is these are part of the

1186
01:10:19,320 --> 01:10:21,760
Speaker 1: allegations of the questions were about things that are real.

1187
01:10:22,720 --> 01:10:25,160
Speaker 1: You know, they did in the state of Pennsylvania. They

1188
01:10:25,200 --> 01:10:28,320
Speaker 1: did decide to just change the way the election was

1189
01:10:28,360 --> 01:10:32,920
Speaker 1: being run in a way that certainly seems unconstitutional. They

1190
01:10:32,960 --> 01:10:35,599
Speaker 1: did make that decision. Do we ever, do we ever

1191
01:10:35,640 --> 01:10:37,040
Speaker 1: get to have a full hearing on that? Do we

1192
01:10:37,080 --> 01:10:39,840
Speaker 1: ever get to have that discussion. Ram Paul says, yes,

1193
01:10:39,920 --> 01:10:45,200
Speaker 1: I say Rampaul's right. This is the Fuck Sexton Show Podcast.

1194
01:10:45,800 --> 01:10:50,719
Speaker 1: Follow Fuck on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Got back from

1195
01:10:50,720 --> 01:10:56,320
Speaker 1: a weekend in Florida, WIOD, w FLA. So many of

1196
01:10:56,320 --> 01:11:00,880
Speaker 1: our wonderful stations down there in Florida. Um, and you know,

1197
01:11:00,920 --> 01:11:02,960
Speaker 1: producer Mark and I talk a lot now about how

1198
01:11:03,000 --> 01:11:05,599
Speaker 1: maybe the Freedom Hunt needs to head south, not just

1199
01:11:05,640 --> 01:11:08,439
Speaker 1: for the winter, but permanently we're down there. I was

1200
01:11:08,479 --> 01:11:12,160
Speaker 1: down there in Florida, and yet again I have a

1201
01:11:12,200 --> 01:11:16,280
Speaker 1: situation here where I just I want someone to explain

1202
01:11:16,360 --> 01:11:19,479
Speaker 1: to me what the benefit is, How anyone can make

1203
01:11:19,520 --> 01:11:25,960
Speaker 1: the argument right now that there are that there, there

1204
01:11:26,000 --> 01:11:30,240
Speaker 1: has been better governance, and we've handled things better here

1205
01:11:31,120 --> 01:11:33,800
Speaker 1: than we did than they are in Florida. But when

1206
01:11:33,800 --> 01:11:36,559
Speaker 1: I say here, I'm in New York. Look at New York,

1207
01:11:36,560 --> 01:11:39,480
Speaker 1: look at California, look at Florida. What is the upside

1208
01:11:40,160 --> 01:11:43,240
Speaker 1: of the extreme lockdown approach? Now, let me just say

1209
01:11:43,320 --> 01:11:46,479
Speaker 1: there are some very dumb rules at the local level

1210
01:11:46,479 --> 01:11:49,280
Speaker 1: in Florida. I mean I was in Miami and I yes,

1211
01:11:49,360 --> 01:11:52,040
Speaker 1: I was at the beach and I had to go

1212
01:11:52,080 --> 01:11:53,320
Speaker 1: at one point and go up to the one of

1213
01:11:53,320 --> 01:11:55,479
Speaker 1: they have these these huts on the beach where you

1214
01:11:55,520 --> 01:11:58,680
Speaker 1: get towels. And I said, all right, So I go

1215
01:11:58,760 --> 01:12:01,639
Speaker 1: up to the hut, to the towel, not the freedom hut,

1216
01:12:01,680 --> 01:12:04,720
Speaker 1: of course, and the woman there, and I'm about ten

1217
01:12:04,760 --> 01:12:07,519
Speaker 1: feet away from her at least. I'm just saying, hey,

1218
01:12:07,560 --> 01:12:09,240
Speaker 1: can I get myself because their towels are out in

1219
01:12:09,240 --> 01:12:10,759
Speaker 1: a bind. I'm like, hey, can I get a towel?

1220
01:12:11,560 --> 01:12:13,840
Speaker 1: And she says, sir, can you put a mask on? Please?

1221
01:12:15,160 --> 01:12:17,519
Speaker 1: And I'm looking at her. I'm like, we're outside. We're

1222
01:12:17,560 --> 01:12:20,599
Speaker 1: both outside. There's nothing indoor here. She's in an open

1223
01:12:20,640 --> 01:12:24,400
Speaker 1: air hut. I'm I'm in the open air. Everyone walking

1224
01:12:24,439 --> 01:12:27,599
Speaker 1: around doesn't have a mask on, okay, But to talk

1225
01:12:27,640 --> 01:12:29,920
Speaker 1: to her from ten feet away, I'm supposed to put

1226
01:12:29,920 --> 01:12:36,760
Speaker 1: a mask on because my non existent COVID virus is

1227
01:12:36,760 --> 01:12:38,559
Speaker 1: going to fly out of my mouth like a heat

1228
01:12:38,560 --> 01:12:41,080
Speaker 1: seeking missile and go right into hers in open air

1229
01:12:41,120 --> 01:12:44,639
Speaker 1: from ten feet away. Now, I don't blame this woman

1230
01:12:44,720 --> 01:12:47,160
Speaker 1: for saying, sir, can you put on a mask? But

1231
01:12:47,560 --> 01:12:51,200
Speaker 1: I blame the stupidity of the people who are instituting

1232
01:12:51,240 --> 01:12:54,920
Speaker 1: these rules, even in Florida, because they think this is

1233
01:12:54,920 --> 01:12:57,280
Speaker 1: what the smart people do. They're so convinced, so dug

1234
01:12:57,280 --> 01:13:00,559
Speaker 1: in that this is the right way to go, and

1235
01:13:00,600 --> 01:13:04,800
Speaker 1: it's just not. It's just not. And then you look

1236
01:13:04,800 --> 01:13:08,040
Speaker 1: at what's happening in California. Actually, I'm not done with Florida.

1237
01:13:08,040 --> 01:13:10,160
Speaker 1: I'm not done with Florida. Before I go to California,

1238
01:13:10,160 --> 01:13:14,439
Speaker 1: I'm what Governor Newsom's doing there. In Florida. They have

1239
01:13:14,439 --> 01:13:17,000
Speaker 1: businesses open, they have stores open, people are living life.

1240
01:13:17,760 --> 01:13:21,040
Speaker 1: And it's increasingly hard, I think, to make a serious

1241
01:13:21,120 --> 01:13:25,720
Speaker 1: case as to why anybody would want to stay in

1242
01:13:25,720 --> 01:13:29,160
Speaker 1: one of these insane blue states when they could be

1243
01:13:29,320 --> 01:13:31,760
Speaker 1: in a mostly open, red state. And I do think

1244
01:13:31,760 --> 01:13:34,080
Speaker 1: it's one of the disconnects that I've had as a

1245
01:13:34,160 --> 01:13:37,120
Speaker 1: New Yorker talking to people across the country. And you know,

1246
01:13:37,120 --> 01:13:39,880
Speaker 1: there are other shows Sean Hannity show, he's a New Yorker,

1247
01:13:39,920 --> 01:13:42,920
Speaker 1: his shows out of New York. You know, there are

1248
01:13:42,920 --> 01:13:45,639
Speaker 1: a lot a lot of people that do shows out

1249
01:13:45,640 --> 01:13:48,120
Speaker 1: of blue states that are broadcast all across the rest

1250
01:13:48,120 --> 01:13:52,000
Speaker 1: of the country. But as somebody who's who's in that position,

1251
01:13:52,120 --> 01:13:55,840
Speaker 1: I know that my experience with lockdown has been far

1252
01:13:55,960 --> 01:13:59,320
Speaker 1: more onerous than a lot of you listening in redder

1253
01:13:59,439 --> 01:14:02,240
Speaker 1: states across the country, So that's certainly affected my judgment.

1254
01:14:02,439 --> 01:14:04,759
Speaker 1: So while it's annoying to you, and certainly the federal

1255
01:14:04,800 --> 01:14:08,240
Speaker 1: policies affect you, you haven't been put through quite the

1256
01:14:08,320 --> 01:14:12,920
Speaker 1: same lunacy. Although Texas has not been great in how

1257
01:14:12,960 --> 01:14:15,920
Speaker 1: it is. I'm just gonna say, at Texas, and you

1258
01:14:15,920 --> 01:14:19,719
Speaker 1: know our KOBJ Austin Fam and our KPRC Houston Fam.

1259
01:14:19,760 --> 01:14:23,160
Speaker 1: I mean, you guys have been through a pretty tough

1260
01:14:23,200 --> 01:14:26,080
Speaker 1: situation with your governor and with the way that your

1261
01:14:26,160 --> 01:14:30,240
Speaker 1: state authorities have handled this situation. Florida has been better,

1262
01:14:31,240 --> 01:14:33,960
Speaker 1: has been better at dealing with this, and I think

1263
01:14:33,960 --> 01:14:36,720
Speaker 1: there are a lot of people. I think there are

1264
01:14:36,720 --> 01:14:41,920
Speaker 1: a lot of people who were currently seeing fleeing these

1265
01:14:42,200 --> 01:14:45,360
Speaker 1: these big blue states to places like Florida. I think

1266
01:14:45,360 --> 01:14:48,040
Speaker 1: you're going to see a lot more of it. What's

1267
01:14:48,120 --> 01:14:51,479
Speaker 1: the upside? And continue to be in a place where

1268
01:14:51,520 --> 01:14:54,600
Speaker 1: you see that those in charge, they will bow to

1269
01:14:54,720 --> 01:14:58,200
Speaker 1: the dictates of political correctness and to the left at

1270
01:14:58,240 --> 01:15:04,040
Speaker 1: the expense of millions of businesses and millions of people's

1271
01:15:04,080 --> 01:15:09,880
Speaker 1: lives and livelihoods. For what Then that brings me to

1272
01:15:10,360 --> 01:15:13,240
Speaker 1: California and I think this is I think this is

1273
01:15:13,240 --> 01:15:18,080
Speaker 1: a fascinating situation right now because in the great state

1274
01:15:18,120 --> 01:15:21,200
Speaker 1: of California, you have something very interesting happening right now.

1275
01:15:22,200 --> 01:15:28,080
Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom is letting restaurants open for indoor dining again. Now,

1276
01:15:28,840 --> 01:15:31,800
Speaker 1: why are they doing? Those cases are still very, very high.

1277
01:15:31,920 --> 01:15:35,680
Speaker 1: We have not flattened the curve. The policies they've had

1278
01:15:35,720 --> 01:15:38,680
Speaker 1: in place have not had the intended effect. The mandates,

1279
01:15:38,720 --> 01:15:43,160
Speaker 1: the lockdowns have not worked the way we were told

1280
01:15:43,160 --> 01:15:45,560
Speaker 1: they would. That's just a fact. They can try to

1281
01:15:45,640 --> 01:15:47,720
Speaker 1: argue this, but it's ridiculous. We can all see it,

1282
01:15:47,760 --> 01:15:50,880
Speaker 1: all right. The numbers speak for themselves. But here we go.

1283
01:15:51,040 --> 01:15:54,360
Speaker 1: As of January twenty fourth, California has three million, one

1284
01:15:54,479 --> 01:15:58,439
Speaker 1: hundred and nine, one hundred and fifty one confirmed cases

1285
01:15:58,439 --> 01:16:02,000
Speaker 1: of COVID nineteen volting in thirty six thousand, seven hundred

1286
01:16:02,120 --> 01:16:05,760
Speaker 1: ninety deaths. The number of COVID related deaths increased by

1287
01:16:05,800 --> 01:16:07,960
Speaker 1: one point two percent from the prior day total of

1288
01:16:07,960 --> 01:16:11,960
Speaker 1: thirty six thousand, three hundred and sixty one. So you've

1289
01:16:11,960 --> 01:16:16,439
Speaker 1: got three point one million cases, twenty four thousand new cases,

1290
01:16:16,640 --> 01:16:20,200
Speaker 1: thirty six thousand, seven hundred ninety deaths, four hundred plus

1291
01:16:20,240 --> 01:16:24,439
Speaker 1: a day in California, and they're running over three hundred

1292
01:16:24,479 --> 01:16:31,800
Speaker 1: thousand tests a day in California. Why right now, why

1293
01:16:32,000 --> 01:16:35,760
Speaker 1: right now is Gavin Newsom about to lift these stay

1294
01:16:35,800 --> 01:16:41,479
Speaker 1: at home orders and allow indoor dining to reopen? Why

1295
01:16:41,720 --> 01:16:48,679
Speaker 1: is that occurring? Why is that happening? And the answer is, well,

1296
01:16:48,720 --> 01:16:52,519
Speaker 1: a number of factors. On the one hand, you have,

1297
01:16:52,560 --> 01:16:55,080
Speaker 1: I think the recognition among a lot of people out

1298
01:16:55,120 --> 01:16:59,160
Speaker 1: there that this idea that we could just lock down

1299
01:16:59,240 --> 01:17:01,800
Speaker 1: through the whole wind and do these extreme stay at

1300
01:17:01,800 --> 01:17:05,360
Speaker 1: home orders and stuff, even while the public sees that

1301
01:17:05,439 --> 01:17:07,960
Speaker 1: it doesn't stop the virus, which it has not done.

1302
01:17:08,040 --> 01:17:10,599
Speaker 1: It has not stopped the virus. That is a that

1303
01:17:10,720 --> 01:17:14,280
Speaker 1: is an obvious fact. So to put people through all

1304
01:17:14,280 --> 01:17:17,720
Speaker 1: this suffering and misery for an entire winter period when

1305
01:17:17,760 --> 01:17:21,479
Speaker 1: they're not seeing the actual benefits of the misery, that

1306
01:17:21,840 --> 01:17:26,679
Speaker 1: is a problem. That is a political liability. After a while,

1307
01:17:26,760 --> 01:17:29,400
Speaker 1: so they've started to see that you do have to

1308
01:17:29,439 --> 01:17:33,560
Speaker 1: make adult decisions about this. You do have to rationally

1309
01:17:33,600 --> 01:17:37,880
Speaker 1: look at what is gained and what is lost through

1310
01:17:38,000 --> 01:17:42,840
Speaker 1: the process here of you know, what is gained and

1311
01:17:42,920 --> 01:17:45,439
Speaker 1: what is lost through the process of deciding that if

1312
01:17:45,439 --> 01:17:47,920
Speaker 1: it just if it might save not even if it

1313
01:17:47,960 --> 01:17:51,840
Speaker 1: saves if it might save one life, whatever economic and

1314
01:17:51,880 --> 01:17:55,760
Speaker 1: societal cost we have to bear is acceptable. That that

1315
01:17:55,920 --> 01:17:59,439
Speaker 1: was under the Trump administration, the approach that California and

1316
01:17:59,479 --> 01:18:03,040
Speaker 1: other big loose states were taken, right, that's something that

1317
01:18:03,080 --> 01:18:05,720
Speaker 1: we have to remember. Now all of a sudden that

1318
01:18:05,760 --> 01:18:07,919
Speaker 1: seems to be changing. As I said, there's the political

1319
01:18:07,960 --> 01:18:12,800
Speaker 1: liability of keeping people locked in their homes, of preventing

1320
01:18:12,880 --> 01:18:16,719
Speaker 1: people from being able to live their lives. And they're

1321
01:18:16,760 --> 01:18:20,479
Speaker 1: not seeing because the numbers are obvious, the benefits that

1322
01:18:20,479 --> 01:18:23,680
Speaker 1: were promised. That's one part of it. And then on

1323
01:18:23,720 --> 01:18:28,680
Speaker 1: another side of it, what about the reopening of America

1324
01:18:28,760 --> 01:18:32,599
Speaker 1: as it is a political benefit to Joe Biden? How

1325
01:18:32,600 --> 01:18:36,040
Speaker 1: does that factor into all of this getting things going

1326
01:18:36,120 --> 01:18:39,479
Speaker 1: again so that Joe Biden can be the big hero here.

1327
01:18:39,479 --> 01:18:43,559
Speaker 1: You've already seen this with the vaccination program and how

1328
01:18:44,000 --> 01:18:47,840
Speaker 1: Biden's whole one hundred million vaccinations in one hundred days. Yeah,

1329
01:18:47,880 --> 01:18:50,639
Speaker 1: we're doing about a million a day right now. So

1330
01:18:50,720 --> 01:18:54,840
Speaker 1: Biden's great contribution really to the vaccine program so far

1331
01:18:54,960 --> 01:18:58,760
Speaker 1: has been largely in terms of numbers, the perpetuation of

1332
01:18:58,760 --> 01:19:02,760
Speaker 1: the status quo. But for Joe Biden. If you perpetuate

1333
01:19:02,840 --> 01:19:06,479
Speaker 1: the status quo, you're a hero because they're all just

1334
01:19:06,600 --> 01:19:08,240
Speaker 1: going to clap for him and say how Grady is

1335
01:19:08,280 --> 01:19:13,400
Speaker 1: no matter what. But sure enough, California is thinking about reopening.

1336
01:19:13,439 --> 01:19:18,840
Speaker 1: New York under Governor Cuomo recently had had an open discussion,

1337
01:19:18,960 --> 01:19:24,479
Speaker 1: you know, began to muse publicly about how reopening could

1338
01:19:24,479 --> 01:19:27,559
Speaker 1: happen and how we can't wait until the virus has

1339
01:19:27,600 --> 01:19:31,000
Speaker 1: totally gone. I've been saying this all along. This has

1340
01:19:31,000 --> 01:19:33,840
Speaker 1: been my position that we can't just shut down. We

1341
01:19:33,880 --> 01:19:38,679
Speaker 1: can't just take this to take this as a given

1342
01:19:39,200 --> 01:19:43,080
Speaker 1: that by having these extreme lockdown orders and shutdowns, we're

1343
01:19:43,120 --> 01:19:46,479
Speaker 1: making the right decision. There's a lot of back and

1344
01:19:46,520 --> 01:19:48,519
Speaker 1: forth over there. There's a lot of reason to believe

1345
01:19:49,080 --> 01:19:51,639
Speaker 1: that we're not getting the benefits were told. The data

1346
01:19:51,680 --> 01:19:53,679
Speaker 1: does not support it, and so what we just have

1347
01:19:54,000 --> 01:19:57,280
Speaker 1: is a lot of misery. What we just have is

1348
01:19:57,360 --> 01:20:02,400
Speaker 1: compounding the problem. But because of the political benefits of

1349
01:20:03,040 --> 01:20:05,799
Speaker 1: the Biden administration being able to take credit for the reopen,

1350
01:20:06,479 --> 01:20:08,720
Speaker 1: now all of a sudden, you see it's politicized in

1351
01:20:08,760 --> 01:20:11,639
Speaker 1: the other direction for the first time. Now it starts

1352
01:20:11,680 --> 01:20:13,479
Speaker 1: to be they still want the control. It's at their

1353
01:20:13,560 --> 01:20:16,400
Speaker 1: say so, and they still want you to maybe double

1354
01:20:16,479 --> 01:20:18,759
Speaker 1: mask now, and they want you all these other stupid things,

1355
01:20:19,120 --> 01:20:23,080
Speaker 1: but they're at least thinking about in some areas letting

1356
01:20:23,080 --> 01:20:25,479
Speaker 1: it up, letting people have more of their lives back,

1357
01:20:25,800 --> 01:20:29,040
Speaker 1: and then the Biden administration can take credit, and maybe

1358
01:20:29,080 --> 01:20:32,000
Speaker 1: then people will forget that it has been a Democrat mentality,

1359
01:20:32,040 --> 01:20:37,679
Speaker 1: a Democrat demand that we have extreme, extreme lockdowns in place.

1363
01:20:49,600 --> 01:20:52,080
Speaker 1: First of all, it made me so angry to see

1364
01:20:52,120 --> 01:20:56,000
Speaker 1: all of these different images coming from National Guard soldiers

1365
01:20:56,000 --> 01:20:58,600
Speaker 1: really posting the reality of the situation that they were in,

1366
01:20:59,240 --> 01:21:03,719
Speaker 1: being shoved into the parking garage that's freezing cold, all

1367
01:21:03,800 --> 01:21:06,840
Speaker 1: strewn about, lying on the ground, really being discarded as

1368
01:21:06,840 --> 01:21:10,200
Speaker 1: though they don't even matter. Meanwhile, as you said, our troops,

1369
01:21:10,280 --> 01:21:13,080
Speaker 1: National Guard soldiers, some of whom I've served with, you know,

1370
01:21:13,120 --> 01:21:16,320
Speaker 1: two hundred came from Hawaii, went to Washington, DC, answered

1371
01:21:16,360 --> 01:21:19,880
Speaker 1: that call to serve like everybody else, only to be

1372
01:21:20,000 --> 01:21:24,880
Speaker 1: mistreated in this way. No to answer your question, the

1373
01:21:24,920 --> 01:21:31,240
Speaker 1: militarization of our nation's capital was not only unnecessary, Yes,

1374
01:21:31,280 --> 01:21:33,759
Speaker 1: we need to make sure that this transition of power

1375
01:21:33,800 --> 01:21:38,439
Speaker 1: happens peacefully and safely, but to send that message both

1376
01:21:38,560 --> 01:21:42,520
Speaker 1: to the American people and to the world that somehow

1377
01:21:42,680 --> 01:21:47,080
Speaker 1: our nation's capital is under attack and threat of a

1378
01:21:47,200 --> 01:21:51,000
Speaker 1: siege of taking over, I just don't think that's the

1379
01:21:51,040 --> 01:21:53,120
Speaker 1: message that we want to send to the American people

1380
01:21:53,520 --> 01:21:57,280
Speaker 1: and to the world, especially as we conduct this peaceful

1381
01:21:57,320 --> 01:22:00,719
Speaker 1: transition of power. Send it all along on the problem

1382
01:22:00,760 --> 01:22:04,439
Speaker 1: that Tulsi Gabbert has as a Democrat is that she's

1383
01:22:04,560 --> 01:22:09,600
Speaker 1: not vicious and hateful and nasty enough to be a Democrats.

1384
01:22:09,640 --> 01:22:12,000
Speaker 1: She's very left wing and her policies, but she doesn't

1385
01:22:12,000 --> 01:22:15,080
Speaker 1: hate Republicans and she loves the military. And if you

1386
01:22:15,120 --> 01:22:18,680
Speaker 1: don't hate Republicans and you actually love the military, you

1387
01:22:18,720 --> 01:22:22,000
Speaker 1: add those two things together. Very hard to be a

1388
01:22:22,000 --> 01:22:25,960
Speaker 1: Democrat in good standing with the left wing apparatus. Very hard,

1389
01:22:26,120 --> 01:22:29,559
Speaker 1: basically impossible. This is why they come after Tulsie say, oh,

1390
01:22:29,600 --> 01:22:34,360
Speaker 1: she's an Assad apologist, all this stuff. And remember on policy,

1391
01:22:34,439 --> 01:22:37,719
Speaker 1: she's very left wing. I know that, but she doesn't

1392
01:22:37,800 --> 01:22:41,040
Speaker 1: hate her opponents. And that's not really allowed these days.

1393
01:22:41,040 --> 01:22:43,080
Speaker 1: You have to hate, you have to hate your opponents,

1394
01:22:43,800 --> 01:22:47,080
Speaker 1: and then you also if they're Republicans that you also

1395
01:22:47,120 --> 01:22:50,880
Speaker 1: have her pointing out that the the whole positioning here

1396
01:22:50,920 --> 01:22:52,920
Speaker 1: of this thing with the National Guard where they're sleeping

1397
01:22:52,920 --> 01:22:55,920
Speaker 1: on the floor in the Capitol, or the photos of it,

1398
01:22:56,640 --> 01:23:02,439
Speaker 1: this was all orchestrated by Democrats because they really live

1399
01:23:02,479 --> 01:23:05,840
Speaker 1: in this constant state of hysteria and they want they

1400
01:23:05,880 --> 01:23:08,280
Speaker 1: want people to live in a state of hysteria. I

1401
01:23:08,280 --> 01:23:11,360
Speaker 1: mean that the Democrat view of the world is that

1402
01:23:11,400 --> 01:23:18,080
Speaker 1: there should be a domestic counter terrorism fight against Trump's

1403
01:23:18,080 --> 01:23:22,520
Speaker 1: supporters because they're such a threat, because the white nationalists

1404
01:23:22,520 --> 01:23:24,639
Speaker 1: are going to storm the White House at any moment

1405
01:23:24,640 --> 01:23:26,599
Speaker 1: and take it over and all this other stuff. They say,

1406
01:23:26,640 --> 01:23:32,400
Speaker 1: that's just not true. But if you can create a world,

1407
01:23:32,400 --> 01:23:35,280
Speaker 1: if you can create an environment where enough people believe that,

1408
01:23:36,280 --> 01:23:39,200
Speaker 1: well there's a lot of political advantage in it, you see,

1409
01:23:39,240 --> 01:23:42,280
Speaker 1: because why do you have to treat your opponents with

1410
01:23:42,400 --> 01:23:45,880
Speaker 1: decency and kindness and respect. Why would you do any

1411
01:23:45,920 --> 01:23:50,000
Speaker 1: of that if, in fact you didn't think that they

1412
01:23:50,040 --> 01:23:53,479
Speaker 1: were people worthy of those things, because they're a party

1413
01:23:53,560 --> 01:23:57,400
Speaker 1: of neo Nazis, white nationalists all these things. I mean

1414
01:23:57,479 --> 01:24:00,800
Speaker 1: that the big lies they're telling here about the right,

1415
01:24:02,000 --> 01:24:05,920
Speaker 1: about conservatives, about the Republican Party, the lies they tell,

1416
01:24:06,320 --> 01:24:10,360
Speaker 1: the exaggerations they rely on, are useful to them. Do not,

1417
01:24:11,160 --> 01:24:15,280
Speaker 1: do not, do not. Forget that. And you are gonna

1418
01:24:15,320 --> 01:24:20,240
Speaker 1: be bombarded with lies from the press for the next

1419
01:24:20,240 --> 01:24:22,680
Speaker 1: four years because they're gonna say whatever they have to

1420
01:24:22,680 --> 01:24:25,719
Speaker 1: say to back up this Biden administration. That's never gonna change.

1421
01:24:25,760 --> 01:24:28,839
Speaker 1: What's funny about this, of course, you've got Smarmye Smurf.

1422
01:24:28,840 --> 01:24:30,519
Speaker 1: You guys, remember if you listen to the show years

1423
01:24:30,520 --> 01:24:33,880
Speaker 1: ago and we had Smarmie Smurf, Jay Carty. Hey have

1424
01:24:34,040 --> 01:24:36,479
Speaker 1: Jay Carty Sparbie Spurf. He sounds a little bit like

1425
01:24:36,520 --> 01:24:39,200
Speaker 1: Brian Stelter, But we don't need to we don't need

1426
01:24:39,240 --> 01:24:42,040
Speaker 1: to compare bucks impersonations of the two. Stelter's a little

1427
01:24:42,040 --> 01:24:44,720
Speaker 1: bit dad here, s Barbie Smurf is more up here.

1428
01:24:45,760 --> 01:24:50,920
Speaker 1: But you had Jake Carty saying, how how bide this

1429
01:24:51,080 --> 01:24:54,240
Speaker 1: Biden administration? It's gonna be all about the honesty, all

1430
01:24:54,280 --> 01:25:00,320
Speaker 1: about the integrity play it. The administration telegraph very early, Uh,

1431
01:25:00,439 --> 01:25:02,840
Speaker 1: this is how they were going to be honest and

1432
01:25:02,880 --> 01:25:06,439
Speaker 1: truthful instead of spinning about it's you know, today Joe

1433
01:25:06,439 --> 01:25:09,200
Speaker 1: Biden's president, tomorrow COVID's you know, the beginning of the

1434
01:25:09,280 --> 01:25:11,120
Speaker 1: end is near. They've been very clear that it's going

1435
01:25:11,160 --> 01:25:12,960
Speaker 1: to get worse before it gets better. And I think

1436
01:25:13,240 --> 01:25:17,320
Speaker 1: you begin to make deposits in the integrity bank when

1437
01:25:17,400 --> 01:25:19,680
Speaker 1: you when you're honest with the press and therefore the

1438
01:25:19,680 --> 01:25:21,439
Speaker 1: people and I and I was glad to see that,

1439
01:25:21,479 --> 01:25:23,920
Speaker 1: and I know we're going to see more of it. Yeah,

1440
01:25:23,960 --> 01:25:26,479
Speaker 1: it's just going to be all all truthy stuff from

1441
01:25:26,720 --> 01:25:31,040
Speaker 1: Joe Biden. Sure, a lot of truth stuff coming out

1442
01:25:31,040 --> 01:25:36,480
Speaker 1: from the Biden administration. You're also seeing that Jensaki is

1443
01:25:36,680 --> 01:25:40,320
Speaker 1: good at this job. Why exactly how is she a

1444
01:25:40,439 --> 01:25:47,040
Speaker 1: particularly effective communicator? Um, that's that's what I would That's

1445
01:25:47,040 --> 01:25:49,080
Speaker 1: what I would say. How is she an effective communicator?

1446
01:25:49,439 --> 01:25:52,599
Speaker 1: I would ask that question. And how is the Biden

1447
01:25:52,600 --> 01:25:56,240
Speaker 1: administration going to handle the continued influence of the left

1448
01:25:56,360 --> 01:25:58,040
Speaker 1: during all of this, I mean the real left, the

1449
01:25:58,080 --> 01:26:02,280
Speaker 1: socialist left. Remember that the socialist left that it still

1450
01:26:02,320 --> 01:26:04,960
Speaker 1: has big designs what they want to do for the country. Well,

1451
01:26:05,000 --> 01:26:08,640
Speaker 1: here's what Bernie Sanders is saying about how the agenda

1452
01:26:08,880 --> 01:26:13,080
Speaker 1: is in fact, very much. It's still alive for Democrats

1453
01:26:13,200 --> 01:26:15,240
Speaker 1: on the socialists left, and they've even got a plan

1454
01:26:15,280 --> 01:26:17,360
Speaker 1: for how they're going to do some of this. Play eight. Well,

1455
01:26:17,400 --> 01:26:19,360
Speaker 1: the devil is in the details about what we want

1456
01:26:19,400 --> 01:26:21,240
Speaker 1: to do and when we want to do it, and

1457
01:26:21,280 --> 01:26:23,360
Speaker 1: when we have to do it. What we are talking about,

1458
01:26:23,400 --> 01:26:27,080
Speaker 1: by the way, are two separate reconciliation packages. Number one,

1459
01:26:27,160 --> 01:26:30,760
Speaker 1: the emergency one right now, right get direct checks. Get

1460
01:26:30,800 --> 01:26:33,680
Speaker 1: those checks into people's pockets right now so they can

1461
01:26:33,680 --> 01:26:36,040
Speaker 1: feed their families and make sure that people are not

1462
01:26:36,080 --> 01:26:38,360
Speaker 1: evicted from their own to make sure that states have

1463
01:26:38,479 --> 01:26:41,240
Speaker 1: the funds they need to get vaccines into people's lives.

1464
01:26:41,360 --> 01:26:43,280
Speaker 1: That's what we've got to do right now. And then

1465
01:26:43,320 --> 01:26:45,880
Speaker 1: as soon as that is done, we have to rebuild

1466
01:26:45,880 --> 01:26:49,400
Speaker 1: this economy. Unemployment is much much too high, wages are

1467
01:26:49,520 --> 01:26:52,600
Speaker 1: much much too low. There are structural problems that we

1468
01:26:52,680 --> 01:26:56,040
Speaker 1: have had, we have ignored for years. Climate change is

1469
01:26:56,080 --> 01:26:58,599
Speaker 1: a really you're okay doing all of that through this

1470
01:26:58,680 --> 01:27:01,360
Speaker 1: process that you criticize for Republicans for using. These are

1471
01:27:01,479 --> 01:27:04,720
Speaker 1: major policy changes. These are major policy changes. But the

1472
01:27:04,800 --> 01:27:07,920
Speaker 1: devil is in the details, and I criticize Republicans, yeah,

1473
01:27:07,960 --> 01:27:11,200
Speaker 1: for using reconciliation to give tax breaks to billionaires to

1474
01:27:11,280 --> 01:27:14,800
Speaker 1: create a situation with large profitable corporations now pay zero

1475
01:27:14,880 --> 01:27:17,559
Speaker 1: in federal income taxes. Yes, I did criticize them for that.

1476
01:27:17,680 --> 01:27:19,960
Speaker 1: And if they want to criticize me for helping to

1477
01:27:20,040 --> 01:27:22,880
Speaker 1: feed children who are hungry, was seeing the citizens in

1478
01:27:22,880 --> 01:27:25,599
Speaker 1: this country are isolated and alone and don't have enough food,

1479
01:27:25,680 --> 01:27:28,360
Speaker 1: they can criticize me. I think it's the appropriate step forward.

1480
01:27:29,240 --> 01:27:32,000
Speaker 1: Whatever I need to do, I'm going to do. They

1481
01:27:32,040 --> 01:27:35,599
Speaker 1: could criticize me for trying to feed children. Go ahead,

1482
01:27:38,000 --> 01:27:41,320
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, that's right, Bernie. The only problem we

1483
01:27:41,360 --> 01:27:44,040
Speaker 1: have we just don't want socialist Bernie feeding the children.

1484
01:27:44,760 --> 01:27:46,759
Speaker 1: What do I always tell you, what's one of bucks

1485
01:27:46,800 --> 01:27:50,200
Speaker 1: rules or politicians. Never trust a politician when they say

1486
01:27:50,240 --> 01:27:54,120
Speaker 1: it's for your safety or it's for the children, don't

1487
01:27:54,120 --> 01:27:57,840
Speaker 1: trust them. It's a rule one you should not, one

1488
01:27:57,880 --> 01:28:01,320
Speaker 1: you should not. Let's slip out of your mind easily.

1489
01:28:01,400 --> 01:28:03,680
Speaker 1: It's an important rule anytime they say it's for your

1490
01:28:03,720 --> 01:28:06,360
Speaker 1: safety or it's for your children, for the children, not

1491
01:28:06,400 --> 01:28:08,400
Speaker 1: even your children, because you know more about your children

1492
01:28:08,400 --> 01:28:11,480
Speaker 1: than they do for the children in general, the collective.

1493
01:28:12,720 --> 01:28:16,879
Speaker 1: But Bernie, Bernie's gonna see openings here and more radical

1494
01:28:16,920 --> 01:28:21,760
Speaker 1: socialist policy is gonna happen through this bid administration. They're

1495
01:28:21,800 --> 01:28:24,719
Speaker 1: just gonna come up with ways to call it different things.

1496
01:28:24,760 --> 01:28:31,080
Speaker 1: They're they're gonna have, you know, preferred socialist nomenclature shifting right.

1497
01:28:31,080 --> 01:28:33,599
Speaker 1: They're gonna say it's something else. This is a oh,

1498
01:28:33,720 --> 01:28:38,960
Speaker 1: we're not redistributing wealth, we're just making adjustments against the

1499
01:28:39,040 --> 01:28:41,080
Speaker 1: super rich or something. They're gonna come up with ways

1500
01:28:41,479 --> 01:28:44,000
Speaker 1: to make it sound like they're not doing what they're doing.

1501
01:28:44,560 --> 01:28:47,480
Speaker 1: Get ready for it. You can guarant I can guarantee

1502
01:28:47,479 --> 01:28:51,240
Speaker 1: you this is gonna happen. You're listening to the Fuck

1505
01:29:00,120 --> 01:29:12,040
Speaker 1: Team Buck, it's time for roll Call. I feel like

1506
01:29:12,080 --> 01:29:14,280
Speaker 1: our role call. Spruce and Mark have more of a

1507
01:29:14,280 --> 01:29:16,479
Speaker 1: almost like a zoot suit riot kind of feel. You

1508
01:29:16,479 --> 01:29:18,680
Speaker 1: remember the unity that was probably before your time, but

1509
01:29:19,439 --> 01:29:22,120
Speaker 1: I get what you mean. There's definitely a different feeling. Yeah,

1510
01:29:22,120 --> 01:29:25,240
Speaker 1: you know, but there was that period where where swing

1511
01:29:25,360 --> 01:29:28,880
Speaker 1: dance kind of came back into into focus and people

1512
01:29:28,880 --> 01:29:34,000
Speaker 1: were all excited about that. So, yeah, that's something that

1513
01:29:34,040 --> 01:29:35,640
Speaker 1: I'm hearing a little bit of of our tunes. Why

1514
01:29:35,640 --> 01:29:37,439
Speaker 1: don't you tell everybody before we hear it, before we

1515
01:29:37,640 --> 01:29:39,840
Speaker 1: dive into the roll call? How is the producer Mark Weekend?

1516
01:29:39,840 --> 01:29:42,760
Speaker 1: How is the football watching? It was very good, two

1517
01:29:42,920 --> 01:29:45,080
Speaker 1: very good conference championship teams. I think we'll have a

1518
01:29:45,080 --> 01:29:47,640
Speaker 1: fine super Bowl. Who is in the Super Bowl? You

1519
01:29:47,640 --> 01:29:51,640
Speaker 1: don't have a clue, do you? Nope, it's the Buccaneers

1520
01:29:51,680 --> 01:29:55,280
Speaker 1: and the Chiefs. So the legendary old quarterback and the

1521
01:29:55,360 --> 01:29:58,760
Speaker 1: legendary new quarterback facing I actually might watch the Super Bowl. Then.

1522
01:29:58,840 --> 01:30:02,960
Speaker 1: That sounds like an interesting story. Tom Brady the greatest

1523
01:30:03,000 --> 01:30:05,719
Speaker 1: quarterback of his generation? Is there really any argument about

1524
01:30:05,760 --> 01:30:08,760
Speaker 1: that at this point? No, he's the greatest quarterback of

1525
01:30:08,800 --> 01:30:11,240
Speaker 1: all time. I think we can safely say that at

1526
01:30:11,240 --> 01:30:14,840
Speaker 1: this point. Wow, number one all time. Before him, it

1527
01:30:14,840 --> 01:30:19,400
Speaker 1: would have probably been what Joe Montana? Yeah, probably Montana,

1528
01:30:19,920 --> 01:30:21,840
Speaker 1: And the argument can still be made, But I mean

1529
01:30:22,360 --> 01:30:24,679
Speaker 1: this would be I think his seventh super Bowl. He's

1530
01:30:24,720 --> 01:30:28,360
Speaker 1: made forty percent of Super bowls since he entered the league.

1531
01:30:29,640 --> 01:30:32,360
Speaker 1: That's a pretty astounding stat Yeah. How good were the

1532
01:30:32,400 --> 01:30:36,400
Speaker 1: Bucks before they got Brady? I mean they had a

1533
01:30:36,400 --> 01:30:39,040
Speaker 1: decent surrounding team. They just didn't have a quarterback. He's

1534
01:30:39,080 --> 01:30:43,200
Speaker 1: the difference. So the piece here to like Tom Brady

1535
01:30:43,280 --> 01:30:45,479
Speaker 1: was clearly it's not like he came onto a you know,

1536
01:30:45,800 --> 01:30:47,360
Speaker 1: a super team. See. I hate when they do that

1537
01:30:47,400 --> 01:30:49,680
Speaker 1: in basketball. I do know enough about basketball that you

1538
01:30:49,720 --> 01:30:53,360
Speaker 1: know Lebron going to the Lakers. It's like, no, you know,

1539
01:30:53,400 --> 01:30:55,760
Speaker 1: it's cool when you stay at the Cleveland Cavaliers and

1540
01:30:55,800 --> 01:30:58,200
Speaker 1: you build a dynasty and a franchise and you're you

1541
01:30:58,280 --> 01:31:00,240
Speaker 1: know what I mean. I don't in the end, BA,

1542
01:31:00,320 --> 01:31:02,840
Speaker 1: they people love the top players, love to join other

1543
01:31:02,920 --> 01:31:05,679
Speaker 1: top players to create these super teams. I just don't

1544
01:31:05,680 --> 01:31:08,160
Speaker 1: think that's as interesting. Yeah, I don't. That's one of

1545
01:31:08,200 --> 01:31:09,960
Speaker 1: my groups with the NBA has always been as there's

1546
01:31:10,040 --> 01:31:12,840
Speaker 1: like five teams that could win the championship and nobody

1547
01:31:12,840 --> 01:31:17,679
Speaker 1: cares about the rest of them. Yeah. Yeah, So anyway,

1548
01:31:17,680 --> 01:31:19,000
Speaker 1: so it was a good game though. That's good. Yeah,

1549
01:31:19,000 --> 01:31:21,000
Speaker 1: there were two good games. I enjoyed my weekend. How

1550
01:31:21,080 --> 01:31:27,400
Speaker 1: was Florida, Oh, producer Mark I got sun. I had fun.

1551
01:31:28,280 --> 01:31:31,040
Speaker 1: I was walking around in flip flops. It was very nice.

1552
01:31:31,520 --> 01:31:34,720
Speaker 1: It sounds lovely. Florida is a very nice place. I

1553
01:31:34,760 --> 01:31:38,320
Speaker 1: gotta say it's a thing we should consider setting up,

1554
01:31:38,720 --> 01:31:42,599
Speaker 1: setting up for you know, big time. Yeah, I think

1555
01:31:42,640 --> 01:31:44,760
Speaker 1: I think that's I think that's the new that's where

1556
01:31:44,800 --> 01:31:47,639
Speaker 1: the that's where the conservative movement that's leaving the Blue

1557
01:31:47,680 --> 01:31:49,599
Speaker 1: States is also gonna do. People are just gonna pile

1558
01:31:49,640 --> 01:31:52,639
Speaker 1: into it because you got great weather, no state income tax,

1559
01:31:52,840 --> 01:31:55,559
Speaker 1: great gun laws. I mean, not quite as good as

1560
01:31:55,560 --> 01:31:57,240
Speaker 1: maybe a last gun a few other but really so,

1561
01:31:57,439 --> 01:32:00,200
Speaker 1: but really pretty solid solid gun laws. Easy you get

1562
01:32:00,200 --> 01:32:03,559
Speaker 1: a concealed carry permit. Uh, you know, there's a lot

1563
01:32:03,560 --> 01:32:05,840
Speaker 1: of upside. I would love us too. I would love

1564
01:32:05,880 --> 01:32:09,320
Speaker 1: conservatives that to take over what's essentially a major city there,

1565
01:32:09,840 --> 01:32:13,920
Speaker 1: you know, whether it's Tampa or Jacksonville, and make it

1566
01:32:14,160 --> 01:32:17,320
Speaker 1: make it a kind of red state mecca, you know,

1567
01:32:17,400 --> 01:32:21,599
Speaker 1: make it a gathering point for the for people that

1568
01:32:21,600 --> 01:32:24,360
Speaker 1: that view the world away that that conservatives do, and

1569
01:32:24,479 --> 01:32:27,160
Speaker 1: show what that would mean for an actual city, because

1570
01:32:27,160 --> 01:32:30,240
Speaker 1: we have no cities on no cities on the right

1571
01:32:30,320 --> 01:32:33,240
Speaker 1: right now. It's just not not a good scene anyway. Yeah,

1572
01:32:33,400 --> 01:32:36,160
Speaker 1: Florida was great. Food was great. Are you a Cevich guy?

1573
01:32:37,360 --> 01:32:40,200
Speaker 1: Is that rough fish? Yeah? No, I'm not a rough

1574
01:32:40,200 --> 01:32:42,639
Speaker 1: fish guy. Didn't think so. I had such good Cevich.

1575
01:32:43,080 --> 01:32:44,920
Speaker 1: I'm the guy who goes to a sushi place and

1576
01:32:44,920 --> 01:32:48,479
Speaker 1: only orders the cooked rolls. Yeah, yep, yep, yep. Man.

1577
01:32:48,640 --> 01:32:50,479
Speaker 1: Now the food and florid food and Florida was great,

1578
01:32:50,520 --> 01:32:53,800
Speaker 1: people were great. Nothing but nothing but upside down there

1579
01:32:53,800 --> 01:32:58,040
Speaker 1: with the snow princess. So I got, I got umbrella drinks,

1580
01:32:58,120 --> 01:33:02,080
Speaker 1: bikini's warm weather freedom. It was amazing. What kind of

1581
01:33:02,080 --> 01:33:05,360
Speaker 1: bikini were you wearing? Well, wouldn't you like to know?

1582
01:33:06,200 --> 01:33:10,720
Speaker 1: All right? Tj um, I'm actually I'm a what do

1583
01:33:10,760 --> 01:33:14,439
Speaker 1: you call it? Um? I? One day I'll have to

1584
01:33:14,520 --> 01:33:16,800
Speaker 1: rock the speedo. You know that, you know those things.

1585
01:33:16,880 --> 01:33:19,519
Speaker 1: That's a terrible mental image. I see a few, a

1586
01:33:19,560 --> 01:33:21,920
Speaker 1: few guys on the beach still do it. It's occasional,

1587
01:33:21,960 --> 01:33:23,840
Speaker 1: but you will see it. You know. They're also half

1588
01:33:23,880 --> 01:33:30,040
Speaker 1: your age. Yeah, also true, but bold. It's a bold move.

1589
01:33:30,520 --> 01:33:32,880
Speaker 1: It is a bold move to go with the speedo. Hey,

1590
01:33:32,960 --> 01:33:34,760
Speaker 1: if I had the body to rock one, I would,

1591
01:33:34,880 --> 01:33:37,960
Speaker 1: But I don't, so I wouldn't. I'm more of a

1592
01:33:39,040 --> 01:33:41,080
Speaker 1: I'm more of a like I wish I could wear,

1593
01:33:41,760 --> 01:33:44,280
Speaker 1: you know, oversized boxers to go swimming in. You know

1594
01:33:44,320 --> 01:33:46,799
Speaker 1: what I mean? That would be nice something to basically

1595
01:33:46,800 --> 01:33:51,080
Speaker 1: what stim swim trunks are. Yeah, I guess pretty much. Yeah.

1596
01:33:51,120 --> 01:33:53,800
Speaker 1: I never liked the mesh lining. I'm always I'm not.

1597
01:33:53,880 --> 01:33:55,720
Speaker 1: I don't like the mesh lining, but you know I

1598
01:33:55,840 --> 01:33:59,160
Speaker 1: get it, all right, t J. Kicking us off here,

1599
01:33:59,200 --> 01:34:03,519
Speaker 1: getting us from talking about am I allowed to say

1600
01:34:03,560 --> 01:34:06,719
Speaker 1: banana hammock on the radio? You just did? And yes, listen,

1601
01:34:07,360 --> 01:34:10,519
Speaker 1: those are two appropriate words. I believe I can say that.

1602
01:34:10,680 --> 01:34:12,640
Speaker 1: That's an I believe that is a slang term for

1603
01:34:12,720 --> 01:34:15,720
Speaker 1: a speedo or that form of bathing suit. Oh no,

1604
01:34:15,800 --> 01:34:18,320
Speaker 1: that is an extreme banana hammock is a lot different.

1605
01:34:20,320 --> 01:34:22,720
Speaker 1: Is it? Just google it? I can't explain. There's a

1606
01:34:23,160 --> 01:34:29,040
Speaker 1: character from the TV show Scrubs on forgetting his name

1607
01:34:29,080 --> 01:34:32,200
Speaker 1: off the top of my head, but he only wore

1608
01:34:32,200 --> 01:34:35,160
Speaker 1: banana hammocks is like a running gag and eventually ABC

1609
01:34:35,320 --> 01:34:37,200
Speaker 1: made him stop doing it because it was so much

1610
01:34:37,200 --> 01:34:41,320
Speaker 1: a decent exposure. So it's like, actually a form of

1611
01:34:41,840 --> 01:34:44,120
Speaker 1: it's a real thing. No, it's a real thing, but

1612
01:34:44,200 --> 01:34:48,400
Speaker 1: it is a it is not something for the prude

1613
01:34:49,080 --> 01:34:52,880
Speaker 1: kind of person. I learned something new every day on

1614
01:34:52,960 --> 01:34:57,000
Speaker 1: this show, all right, t J. Block Conservatives ought to

1615
01:34:57,040 --> 01:34:59,760
Speaker 1: implement a strategy of Catholic guilt for the next four years.

1616
01:35:00,360 --> 01:35:02,320
Speaker 1: I don't know about you, but nothing gets at me

1617
01:35:02,360 --> 01:35:04,280
Speaker 1: worse than when something I believe in or think to

1618
01:35:04,320 --> 01:35:07,559
Speaker 1: be true contradicts the Catholic faith. The media has no

1619
01:35:07,640 --> 01:35:10,200
Speaker 1: problem put in Joe's Catholic faith front and center when

1620
01:35:10,240 --> 01:35:12,840
Speaker 1: it suits them. We should return the favor and keep

1621
01:35:12,840 --> 01:35:16,720
Speaker 1: it front front and center. Every policy decision, every bill

1622
01:35:16,760 --> 01:35:18,599
Speaker 1: he signs ought to be looked at through the prism

1623
01:35:19,040 --> 01:35:21,240
Speaker 1: of a Catholic faith and whether or not it aligns

1624
01:35:21,320 --> 01:35:23,720
Speaker 1: with the faith. I don't believe we should have a

1625
01:35:23,840 --> 01:35:27,160
Speaker 1: theocratic ruler, but the left has no problem telling us

1626
01:35:27,200 --> 01:35:29,280
Speaker 1: how good of a Catholic Joe is, so we can

1627
01:35:29,360 --> 01:35:32,360
Speaker 1: respond in kind. However, I think this is why devout

1628
01:35:32,400 --> 01:35:35,920
Speaker 1: Catholics don't make for good politicians, but excellent judges. Not

1629
01:35:36,040 --> 01:35:38,479
Speaker 1: saying Joe's at about Catholic, but considering he's getting up

1630
01:35:38,479 --> 01:35:41,519
Speaker 1: there in age. I imagine the Catholic guilt weighs heavily

1631
01:35:41,560 --> 01:35:43,280
Speaker 1: on his soul at times, and we ought to remind

1632
01:35:43,360 --> 01:35:46,439
Speaker 1: him of it. TJ. Sounds like you think the dogma

1633
01:35:46,479 --> 01:35:51,760
Speaker 1: may live meekly within Joe Biden, not loudly, and that

1634
01:35:52,200 --> 01:35:55,840
Speaker 1: is certainly the case. Look, American Catholics, of which I

1635
01:35:55,880 --> 01:35:58,800
Speaker 1: would have to I would call myself one. I am

1636
01:35:58,800 --> 01:36:03,920
Speaker 1: a Catholic, and Catholics are a strange group politically speaking,

1637
01:36:03,960 --> 01:36:07,240
Speaker 1: because so many of them really believe that they're living

1638
01:36:07,240 --> 01:36:09,920
Speaker 1: their Catholic faith and that they support Catholic causes, and

1639
01:36:09,960 --> 01:36:13,960
Speaker 1: then they go vote for Democrats who are very obviously

1640
01:36:14,120 --> 01:36:18,000
Speaker 1: contrary to not not minor, but to core Catholic beliefs.

1641
01:36:19,000 --> 01:36:22,920
Speaker 1: So that's that's something that I you know, they have

1642
01:36:22,960 --> 01:36:24,800
Speaker 1: other reasons for doing it, but I do think it's

1643
01:36:24,800 --> 01:36:28,720
Speaker 1: interesting as that continues to play out. And yeah, I

1644
01:36:28,760 --> 01:36:30,680
Speaker 1: mean Catholic Gilford. But the thing is it's not going

1645
01:36:30,720 --> 01:36:34,639
Speaker 1: to work on Biden TJ. That's the problem. Biden doesn't care.

1646
01:36:34,680 --> 01:36:36,920
Speaker 1: Biden cares about power. Biden cares about what works and

1647
01:36:36,920 --> 01:36:39,360
Speaker 1: how he wins, and everything else is just just noise,

1648
01:36:39,479 --> 01:36:43,320
Speaker 1: just a distraction. Dave. Next up, Beer, Hey Buck. I

1649
01:36:43,400 --> 01:36:48,000
Speaker 1: have a customer in Fredericksburg that runs a retired greyhound program.

1650
01:36:48,080 --> 01:36:51,000
Speaker 1: They don't like to call them rescues, they prefer retired.

1651
01:36:51,640 --> 01:36:53,240
Speaker 1: The first time I was at their home, they had

1652
01:36:53,280 --> 01:36:55,679
Speaker 1: about ten of them in their living room on bean bags.

1653
01:36:55,960 --> 01:36:58,880
Speaker 1: One of the craziest things I've ever seen. Apparently there's

1654
01:36:58,880 --> 01:37:02,200
Speaker 1: a retired greyhound community that basically babysit them for each

1655
01:37:02,240 --> 01:37:06,200
Speaker 1: other because they prefer to be around other greyhounds, and

1656
01:37:06,240 --> 01:37:08,800
Speaker 1: they have been competing against each other. They had a

1657
01:37:08,840 --> 01:37:11,360
Speaker 1: fenced in backyard. When she opened the back door, they

1658
01:37:11,360 --> 01:37:13,479
Speaker 1: all ran out and started a race around the backyard.

1659
01:37:13,479 --> 01:37:16,680
Speaker 1: It was awesome. Just like horses, they're athletes and they

1660
01:37:16,720 --> 01:37:20,080
Speaker 1: definitely understand competition and naturally want to win. Anyway, I

1661
01:37:20,080 --> 01:37:22,160
Speaker 1: thought you'd enjoy that. Dogs are the best, love the show,

1662
01:37:22,240 --> 01:37:24,320
Speaker 1: keep up the grind, you're a pro. Well, Dave, thanks

1663
01:37:24,320 --> 01:37:27,360
Speaker 1: so much, and yeah, that's that's cool. I didn't know

1664
01:37:27,400 --> 01:37:31,320
Speaker 1: that's what they call them, retired retired greyhound. I just

1665
01:37:31,439 --> 01:37:33,800
Speaker 1: just something. I just see. There's a future in my

1666
01:37:33,840 --> 01:37:36,840
Speaker 1: head where Producer Mark is like chomping on a coheba

1667
01:37:36,960 --> 01:37:41,560
Speaker 1: with a what do you call those those hats, a

1668
01:37:41,680 --> 01:37:44,600
Speaker 1: fedora with a coheba and one of those sort of

1669
01:37:44,640 --> 01:37:48,439
Speaker 1: havana shirts on at the race track with a big

1670
01:37:48,439 --> 01:37:51,040
Speaker 1: fruity drink in his hand, living the floor to life.

1671
01:37:51,080 --> 01:37:53,080
Speaker 1: You know, Producer Mark, I see that for you down

1672
01:37:53,120 --> 01:37:54,680
Speaker 1: the line. I mean I could see all of that,

1673
01:37:54,720 --> 01:37:58,439
Speaker 1: but without the greyhound track. Why why I could have

1674
01:37:58,479 --> 01:38:01,479
Speaker 1: a pool in my backyard. Yeah, but you know you

1675
01:38:01,479 --> 01:38:03,120
Speaker 1: want to you want to bet on the ponies, bet

1676
01:38:03,120 --> 01:38:05,639
Speaker 1: on the bet on the doggies. No, no, I would

1677
01:38:05,680 --> 01:38:09,679
Speaker 1: adopt one, not bating race. There we see Mark Mark

1678
01:38:09,680 --> 01:38:11,679
Speaker 1: Why Mark doesn't want to play bets and he wants

1679
01:38:11,680 --> 01:38:14,799
Speaker 1: to help retire one of them. Exactly. Greyhounds are sweet

Speaker 1: very small greyhounds as well. But the full size racing

1685
01:38:31,240 --> 01:38:34,080
Speaker 1: greyhounds are You're right, they're large. They're large. They're not heavy,

Speaker 1: Well there's I said, there's one that lives on my floor.

1689
01:38:42,320 --> 01:38:44,439
Speaker 1: look I love dogs. I'll say one thing about being

1690
01:38:44,439 --> 01:38:47,040
Speaker 1: in Florida was that I missed my parents dog to

1691
01:38:47,120 --> 01:38:49,599
Speaker 1: Lula the Frenchiet because I didn't have her anymore, because

1692
01:38:49,600 --> 01:38:51,720
Speaker 1: I gave them back while I was gone. But My

1693
01:38:51,800 --> 01:38:56,120
Speaker 1: two brothers both have dogs. My brother Mason has a

1694
01:38:56,120 --> 01:39:00,400
Speaker 1: Pomeranian that's a rescue. The Pomeranian he was old, was

1695
01:39:00,439 --> 01:39:03,600
Speaker 1: found in an alleyway in Austin, Texas. So he's a

1696
01:39:03,640 --> 01:39:07,800
Speaker 1: he's a Texas dog and he's a Pomeranian. And my

1697
01:39:07,880 --> 01:39:11,760
Speaker 1: other brother just got from Salt Lake City, Utah. What's up,

1698
01:39:11,840 --> 01:39:14,519
Speaker 1: knrs salt Lake City From Salt Lake City, Utah. My

1699
01:39:14,520 --> 01:39:16,360
Speaker 1: brother just picked up a member of his family. My

1700
01:39:16,400 --> 01:39:19,200
Speaker 1: brother Keats, like the poet, not Keith. Everyone always gets

1701
01:39:19,240 --> 01:39:24,400
Speaker 1: it confused. My brother Keats got a a multi poo,

1702
01:39:24,920 --> 01:39:27,880
Speaker 1: which is a multi smix with a miniature poodle, and

1703
01:39:28,040 --> 01:39:30,160
Speaker 1: her name is Lila And I got to play with

1704
01:39:30,200 --> 01:39:32,240
Speaker 1: both of them down in Florida a lot. And Lilah

1705
01:39:32,439 --> 01:39:37,040
Speaker 1: is two months old and absolutely adorable, absolutely amazing. And

1706
01:39:37,160 --> 01:39:39,519
Speaker 1: producer Mark, you're like this. So I'm out to dinner

1707
01:39:39,520 --> 01:39:43,320
Speaker 1: with my brothers and my brother's fiance and you know,

1708
01:39:43,560 --> 01:39:45,960
Speaker 1: my brother's girlfriend, and I'm sitting there and it's me

1709
01:39:46,080 --> 01:39:50,240
Speaker 1: the snow Princess, and we're hanging out and my brothers.

1710
01:39:50,240 --> 01:39:53,360
Speaker 1: My little brother's fiance says, watch this, and she pulls

1711
01:39:53,439 --> 01:39:56,519
Speaker 1: up her phone. They have like a doggye cam up

1712
01:39:57,240 --> 01:39:59,479
Speaker 1: where she can speak to the dog, and the dog

1713
01:39:59,600 --> 01:40:02,400
Speaker 1: record nises her voice, so she says, you know, hey,

1714
01:40:02,479 --> 01:40:04,719
Speaker 1: Lilah and the dog. He gets all excited for a second,

1715
01:40:05,040 --> 01:40:08,479
Speaker 1: and then she fires off with a button a treat

1716
01:40:08,800 --> 01:40:10,960
Speaker 1: that comes out of like a little treat dispenser for

1717
01:40:11,000 --> 01:40:13,680
Speaker 1: the puppy once she's gone. Yeah, I've seen those. One

1718
01:40:13,720 --> 01:40:17,320
Speaker 1: of the best inventions ever. It's amazing. Yeah, it's amazing.

1719
01:40:17,960 --> 01:40:20,640
Speaker 1: You know, it's like firing off treats, you know, so

1720
01:40:20,720 --> 01:40:22,720
Speaker 1: the dog feels like it's got a little more interaction

1721
01:40:22,760 --> 01:40:26,559
Speaker 1: and you don't have to worry about it the same way.

1722
01:40:27,040 --> 01:40:30,439
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm just saying I think it's cool. All right,

1723
01:40:30,600 --> 01:40:35,120
Speaker 1: back into a back into the mix here, Nathan, Hey

1724
01:40:35,160 --> 01:40:37,920
Speaker 1: Buck love the show, Nathan, the show loves you. Are

1725
01:40:37,920 --> 01:40:40,000
Speaker 1: we sure we want term limits for the right reasons.

1726
01:40:40,280 --> 01:40:43,080
Speaker 1: We all want the career politicians out, but what about ours?

1727
01:40:43,320 --> 01:40:46,120
Speaker 1: Or we want their career politicians out, but what about ours?

1728
01:40:46,560 --> 01:40:48,879
Speaker 1: That means no more Ted Cruise, no more Mitch McConnell.

1729
01:40:49,200 --> 01:40:51,439
Speaker 1: We'd basically be saying you're getting fired no matter what

1730
01:40:51,479 --> 01:40:55,000
Speaker 1: you do, do whatever you want. We wouldn't have anyone's

1731
01:40:55,120 --> 01:40:57,240
Speaker 1: any more voting records to look at and keep the

1732
01:40:57,240 --> 01:40:59,680
Speaker 1: ones we like and the votes out. Wait, sorry, we

1733
01:40:59,720 --> 01:41:01,479
Speaker 1: would to look at and keep the one we like

1734
01:41:01,600 --> 01:41:04,320
Speaker 1: and vote out the ones we don't. You're an inspiration

1735
01:41:04,400 --> 01:41:07,280
Speaker 1: of wartime conservatism. Shield side well, Nathan, I try man.

1736
01:41:07,320 --> 01:41:09,160
Speaker 1: I'm doing my absolute best here, and thank you so

1737
01:41:09,240 --> 01:41:14,479
Speaker 1: much for the kind words. And as for as for

1738
01:41:14,600 --> 01:41:17,680
Speaker 1: career politicians, you know, I think I think if we

1739
01:41:17,720 --> 01:41:21,040
Speaker 1: could have you know, three or four terms of Ted Cruz,

1740
01:41:21,080 --> 01:41:23,800
Speaker 1: I think that's enough. Even for Ted Cruz, I think

1741
01:41:23,800 --> 01:41:25,920
Speaker 1: we you know, three three terms of Mitch McConnell. I

1742
01:41:25,920 --> 01:41:28,960
Speaker 1: think twenty years, you're good. That's a whole career. Right,

1743
01:41:29,040 --> 01:41:31,200
Speaker 1: Some people work twenty years in retire, although not these

1744
01:41:31,240 --> 01:41:34,559
Speaker 1: days anymore. Um. Maybe if you're in a really really

1745
01:41:34,560 --> 01:41:36,599
Speaker 1: strong union, right, producer Mark, if you're in a really

1746
01:41:36,640 --> 01:41:40,040
Speaker 1: good union, maybe you're twenty and done. Yeah that's about it. Yeah,

1747
01:41:40,800 --> 01:41:43,680
Speaker 1: really well in the stock market maybe bitcoin you're not

1748
01:41:43,720 --> 01:41:47,719
Speaker 1: done after twenty But at twenty years is basically a career.

1749
01:41:47,840 --> 01:41:50,280
Speaker 1: So I think that, you know, the same way you

1750
01:41:50,320 --> 01:41:53,240
Speaker 1: have age limits which are kind of arbitrary for hire all.

1751
01:41:53,240 --> 01:41:55,240
Speaker 1: I know they're in the constitution, but they were arbitrary

1752
01:41:55,280 --> 01:41:57,920
Speaker 1: choices made when they're put in the Constitution. Also at

1753
01:41:57,920 --> 01:42:00,680
Speaker 1: a time when human life expectancy was much lower than

1754
01:42:00,720 --> 01:42:03,880
Speaker 1: it is right now. Overall, I think you could also

1755
01:42:03,960 --> 01:42:08,160
Speaker 1: have you could also have put in place term limits

1756
01:42:08,200 --> 01:42:11,040
Speaker 1: that would allow people to have a long and productive

1757
01:42:11,040 --> 01:42:13,639
Speaker 1: career in politics, but not have a lifetime in politics.

1758
01:42:13,680 --> 01:42:18,200
Speaker 1: I mean, Joe Biden has been in politics too long.

1759
01:42:18,680 --> 01:42:20,559
Speaker 1: And that's just the Mottom line. We could talk about

1760
01:42:20,560 --> 01:42:22,200
Speaker 1: this stuff as much as want. He's been in politics

1761
01:42:22,280 --> 01:42:25,479
Speaker 1: too long. It's time for fresh blood. It's time for younger,

1762
01:42:26,400 --> 01:42:29,320
Speaker 1: younger people who have a different approach. And that's true

1763
01:42:29,360 --> 01:42:33,160
Speaker 1: a lot. It's true, Nancy Pelosi. Maybe it's true. Mitch McConnell.

1764
01:42:33,200 --> 01:42:35,640
Speaker 1: You know, I mean, see this, and you know to

1765
01:42:35,840 --> 01:42:38,040
Speaker 1: term limits, there's a lot of arbitrary in this because

1766
01:42:38,040 --> 01:42:39,679
Speaker 1: if you look at term limits, well what about terms

1767
01:42:39,680 --> 01:42:41,599
Speaker 1: in the first place. Why is a congressional term too,

1768
01:42:41,600 --> 01:42:45,080
Speaker 1: but a Senate term six? I know it's in the Constitution,

1769
01:42:45,360 --> 01:42:47,320
Speaker 1: but I'm saying those were just decisions made by the

1770
01:42:47,360 --> 01:42:50,439
Speaker 1: founder that are by their very nature. It's like the

1771
01:42:50,479 --> 01:42:54,800
Speaker 1: borders between US states. There's an arbitrary they just sort

1772
01:42:54,840 --> 01:42:56,639
Speaker 1: of have to draw a line, so they draw a line.

1773
01:42:57,280 --> 01:42:59,400
Speaker 1: So I don't think it's that strange for us to

1774
01:42:59,680 --> 01:43:01,880
Speaker 1: push term limits. I think we could do it in

1775
01:43:01,920 --> 01:43:04,080
Speaker 1: a way that would be really productive. But I'm also

1776
01:43:04,120 --> 01:43:06,719
Speaker 1: a realist, and I know that the people who would

1777
01:43:06,720 --> 01:43:08,680
Speaker 1: have to vote for term limits are the people who

1778
01:43:08,680 --> 01:43:10,760
Speaker 1: don't want them because they want to stay in office

1779
01:43:10,800 --> 01:43:14,240
Speaker 1: as long as they want to stay in office. This

1781
01:43:19,640 --> 01:43:23,720
Speaker 1: and Twitter. All right, more roll called here? Jim next up? Hey,

1782
01:43:23,720 --> 01:43:26,200
Speaker 1: Buck and Mark. Just wondering what happens to hard working

1783
01:43:26,200 --> 01:43:29,400
Speaker 1: Americans like me when the minimum wage is fifteen dollars

1784
01:43:29,439 --> 01:43:32,040
Speaker 1: an hour. I'm a medical laboratory scientist, which is a

1785
01:43:32,120 --> 01:43:34,599
Speaker 1: job that has a lot of schooling and license requirements,

1786
01:43:34,600 --> 01:43:37,320
Speaker 1: and I make twenty eight dollars an hour. When the

1787
01:43:37,320 --> 01:43:39,960
Speaker 1: minimum wage goes to fifteen dollars an hour and everything

1788
01:43:40,000 --> 01:43:44,240
Speaker 1: gets more expensive, what happens to people like me? I

1789
01:43:44,360 --> 01:43:46,400
Speaker 1: know we aren't going to get a raise to equalize

1790
01:43:46,439 --> 01:43:50,080
Speaker 1: the wage and cost of living. Shield high fellow patriots. Yeah, well, Jim,

1791
01:43:50,200 --> 01:43:54,720
Speaker 1: that's the problem is all the unintended consequences. I understand

1792
01:43:54,760 --> 01:43:58,280
Speaker 1: the emotional appeal, and I agree with the sentiment that

1793
01:43:58,439 --> 01:44:01,840
Speaker 1: people who show up and you a job that you know,

1794
01:44:01,880 --> 01:44:05,080
Speaker 1: a job that adds value, should be paid well. I

1795
01:44:05,160 --> 01:44:07,759
Speaker 1: want workers paid well. I like people to be taken

1796
01:44:07,800 --> 01:44:11,080
Speaker 1: care of by their employer, by their their business, whatever

1797
01:44:11,080 --> 01:44:13,280
Speaker 1: it may be. But I know that there are limits. Right.

1798
01:44:13,439 --> 01:44:15,080
Speaker 1: As much as it would be fun to say everyone

1799
01:44:15,120 --> 01:44:17,639
Speaker 1: makes one hundred dollars an hour, you'd bankrupt the vast

1800
01:44:17,680 --> 01:44:20,320
Speaker 1: majority of businesses all across the country. I mean probably

1801
01:44:20,400 --> 01:44:23,599
Speaker 1: almost all of them. So you can't have that. So

1802
01:44:23,800 --> 01:44:27,080
Speaker 1: what is really going on here? What happens when you

1803
01:44:27,160 --> 01:44:33,360
Speaker 1: raise the minimum wage? There are those unintended consequences. You

1804
01:44:33,439 --> 01:44:36,040
Speaker 1: see that there's a cutback in hours for people. You

1805
01:44:36,080 --> 01:44:38,880
Speaker 1: see they'll be jobs lost, and yes, there'll be more

1806
01:44:38,960 --> 01:44:43,120
Speaker 1: expensive products. You know that fifteen dollar minimum wage in

1807
01:44:43,320 --> 01:44:47,080
Speaker 1: national restaurant chains, for example, would mean that you're you're

1808
01:44:47,120 --> 01:44:48,960
Speaker 1: a happy meal. How much is a happy meal right now,

1809
01:44:48,960 --> 01:44:50,640
Speaker 1: Producer Mark, I can never eat this stuff because of

1810
01:44:50,640 --> 01:44:53,479
Speaker 1: my celiac disease. How much is a happy meal? Roughly?

1811
01:44:53,880 --> 01:44:56,559
Speaker 1: I guess around five bucks, around five bush, yeah, five

1812
01:44:56,640 --> 01:44:59,200
Speaker 1: six bucks. Your happy meal is going to be eight, nine,

1813
01:44:59,320 --> 01:45:02,160
Speaker 1: ten dollars. That's what's gonna happen with a fifteen dollars

1814
01:45:02,160 --> 01:45:04,120
Speaker 1: if you're going to keep the same number of employees,

1815
01:45:04,160 --> 01:45:08,160
Speaker 1: that's just supplying demand. Basic economics. So what was the

1816
01:45:08,240 --> 01:45:10,439
Speaker 1: last time you had a happy meal? I don't know,

1817
01:45:10,479 --> 01:45:13,439
Speaker 1: probably when I was nine. Oh wow long oh yeah,

1818
01:45:13,479 --> 01:45:15,519
Speaker 1: the happy meals for the kids, right, I'm just thinking, yeah,

1819
01:45:15,520 --> 01:45:17,200
Speaker 1: I was, maybebe I should have asked you, like about

1820
01:45:17,240 --> 01:45:19,400
Speaker 1: like a number three or like a whopper with whatever.

1821
01:45:19,520 --> 01:45:21,360
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. Those are probably like

1822
01:45:21,400 --> 01:45:24,000
Speaker 1: eight nine bucks. Yeah, okay, so whatever, So maybe those

1823
01:45:24,040 --> 01:45:25,639
Speaker 1: are eight or nine bucks, so the point being they'd

1824
01:45:25,640 --> 01:45:29,000
Speaker 1: be more like twelve now. But yeah, I can't. Fast

1825
01:45:29,000 --> 01:45:30,840
Speaker 1: food is very very tough for me because even the

1826
01:45:30,880 --> 01:45:36,280
Speaker 1: French fries they use a glutinous a glutinous oil, So

1827
01:45:36,320 --> 01:45:38,639
Speaker 1: I can't even have the French fries, which is sad

1828
01:45:38,680 --> 01:45:41,320
Speaker 1: for me, but it is what it is. Pen writes,
