WEBVTT - The Coup Hysteria Continues

0:00:01.639 --> 0:00:04.920
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcast, make sure

0:00:04.920 --> 0:00:07.960
<v Speaker 1>you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeartRadio app or

0:00:07.960 --> 0:00:11.400
<v Speaker 1>wherever you get your podcasts. I thought we were supposed

0:00:11.400 --> 0:00:13.920
<v Speaker 1>to be unified. I thought they were going to bring

0:00:14.000 --> 0:00:16.440
<v Speaker 1>us all together, that we were entering a new phase

0:00:17.120 --> 0:00:19.239
<v Speaker 1>in the history of the country, or at least in

0:00:19.239 --> 0:00:21.240
<v Speaker 1>the recent history, where we were all supposed to be

0:00:21.880 --> 0:00:29.320
<v Speaker 1>buddies united, coming together in this new, technocratic, competent, calm

0:00:29.480 --> 0:00:32.720
<v Speaker 1>Biden administration. Right, that was the promise. And now what

0:00:32.800 --> 0:00:36.879
<v Speaker 1>you're already seeing is that the Biden people aren't as

0:00:36.920 --> 0:00:40.560
<v Speaker 1>smart as they told you they would be, don't give

0:00:40.600 --> 0:00:46.199
<v Speaker 1>a crap about unity, and are actually ideologues driven by

0:00:46.200 --> 0:00:50.320
<v Speaker 1>their desire to play kate the fringe interests that have

0:00:50.400 --> 0:00:53.280
<v Speaker 1>so much control within the Democrat Party, whether it's on

0:00:53.400 --> 0:01:00.240
<v Speaker 1>identity politics, environmental issues, social justice, all these things. It's

0:01:00.240 --> 0:01:02.560
<v Speaker 1>not the presidency they said we'd get. But if you

0:01:02.640 --> 0:01:04.640
<v Speaker 1>knew that was the case, it was always a lie.

0:01:05.319 --> 0:01:09.160
<v Speaker 1>It was always meant to convince medium to low information

0:01:09.280 --> 0:01:14.560
<v Speaker 1>suburban voters in some key states. You'll just have a

0:01:14.640 --> 0:01:20.080
<v Speaker 1>return to normalcy, that's what they said, a return to normalcy. Well,

0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:22.679
<v Speaker 1>it turns out that's not what we're getting. What we're

0:01:22.680 --> 0:01:28.000
<v Speaker 1>getting is the return of the Obama administration. That's what's

0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:32.160
<v Speaker 1>really happening here. That's the reality of what has now

0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:37.440
<v Speaker 1>taken power. And you see this with every decision being

0:01:37.480 --> 0:01:40.720
<v Speaker 1>made so far, and also all the people who are

0:01:40.760 --> 0:01:44.040
<v Speaker 1>in charge, the people that are making the decisions right now,

0:01:44.040 --> 0:01:47.120
<v Speaker 1>who are making the calls about everything that's happening, are

0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:49.880
<v Speaker 1>very similar in some cases the same as those who

0:01:49.880 --> 0:01:52.680
<v Speaker 1>were doing it during the Obama years. You remember the

0:01:52.720 --> 0:01:56.320
<v Speaker 1>Obama years. Was there a lot of national healing? Did

0:01:56.320 --> 0:02:01.360
<v Speaker 1>it really bring us all together? There were race riots

0:02:01.400 --> 0:02:05.200
<v Speaker 1>during the Obama Obama presidency, as you remember the BLM

0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:11.680
<v Speaker 1>protests started. Then, there were there was economic malaise at best,

0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:16.880
<v Speaker 1>the slowest recovery out of a recession since the Great Depression.

0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:21.840
<v Speaker 1>There was a lot of unnecessary government regulation and harassment

0:02:21.840 --> 0:02:24.040
<v Speaker 1>of people in their day to day lives. There was

0:02:24.200 --> 0:02:29.280
<v Speaker 1>oppression of religious freedom, there was suppression of free speech.

0:02:29.360 --> 0:02:33.680
<v Speaker 1>You're getting all that just coming back under a different name,

0:02:33.800 --> 0:02:37.959
<v Speaker 1>but the same idea. And this is why I think

0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:41.160
<v Speaker 1>it's so interesting that they want to continue to fixate

0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:45.600
<v Speaker 1>on the Trump presidency, because I think that They never

0:02:45.680 --> 0:02:48.840
<v Speaker 1>really thought beyond what happens when there's no longer the

0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:55.119
<v Speaker 1>Trump boogeyman for everyone to be terrified of what happens

0:02:55.919 --> 0:02:58.720
<v Speaker 1>at that phase, at that point when you can't just well,

0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:01.280
<v Speaker 1>they're not letting it go. That's why you have this

0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:05.600
<v Speaker 1>impeachment that they're going to do after a Trump presidency

0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:09.400
<v Speaker 1>has already ended. Joe Biden I was gonna say, for

0:03:09.480 --> 0:03:11.200
<v Speaker 1>better or for worse, it's for worse is now the

0:03:11.200 --> 0:03:14.160
<v Speaker 1>president United States. This is an absurd spectacle. We all

0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:17.640
<v Speaker 1>understand this. I mean, you could have replaced Joe Biden

0:03:17.680 --> 0:03:22.080
<v Speaker 1>with forty other sub mediocre Democrat politicians. It'd be basically

0:03:22.080 --> 0:03:24.800
<v Speaker 1>the same thing, just anybody. But Trump was what they

0:03:24.880 --> 0:03:26.840
<v Speaker 1>ran with and that's what they were able to pull off.

0:03:28.240 --> 0:03:31.080
<v Speaker 1>And now we see what they're really going to be doing,

0:03:32.320 --> 0:03:35.160
<v Speaker 1>and now we see what the actual decision making will

0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:40.080
<v Speaker 1>be like. And that's why with this impeachment situation, they're

0:03:40.240 --> 0:03:43.240
<v Speaker 1>they're making it clear for everybody who's watching exactly what's

0:03:43.240 --> 0:03:46.560
<v Speaker 1>going on. You can see it. They're not hiding it.

0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:52.480
<v Speaker 1>They're keeping thousands and thousands of National Guard soldiers in

0:03:52.760 --> 0:04:03.000
<v Speaker 1>DC for the entirety of the impeachment Democrats to actually

0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:07.520
<v Speaker 1>get Trump convicted would need seventeen Republicans to go along

0:04:07.560 --> 0:04:12.720
<v Speaker 1>with this. But I think the even more important, the

0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:18.159
<v Speaker 1>even more important situation here is that there's a for me,

0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:23.000
<v Speaker 1>a clear there's there's a clear decision that has been

0:04:23.040 --> 0:04:27.279
<v Speaker 1>made that they want all these troops in DC because

0:04:27.320 --> 0:04:31.719
<v Speaker 1>we're supposed to believe that there's still a threat of

0:04:31.920 --> 0:04:36.880
<v Speaker 1>a coup. They want everyone terrified, they want everyone worried

0:04:36.920 --> 0:04:41.359
<v Speaker 1>about the possibility of you know, the Trump supporters storming

0:04:41.400 --> 0:04:44.839
<v Speaker 1>the gates and stopping the Senate impeachment trial or whatever.

0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:50.040
<v Speaker 1>This is hysteria, but it's important for their power grab.

0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:53.679
<v Speaker 1>Or if you look throughout history, whenever there are authoritarians,

0:04:53.680 --> 0:04:55.840
<v Speaker 1>whenever there are people that are taking more power than

0:04:55.839 --> 0:04:59.880
<v Speaker 1>they are legally, constitutionally or otherwise supposed to be granted

0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:04.120
<v Speaker 1>in government, whatever that happens, they have an excuse, They

0:05:04.160 --> 0:05:07.479
<v Speaker 1>have some rational it's always the other guys, we're going

0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:09.719
<v Speaker 1>to do this first, or if we didn't do this,

0:05:10.160 --> 0:05:12.919
<v Speaker 1>you know, this terrible thing was going to happen. They

0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:17.800
<v Speaker 1>don't just say, yeah, we're we're despots. We're seizing all

0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:20.280
<v Speaker 1>authority and power into our hand because we like it.

0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:22.600
<v Speaker 1>Because we think we're better than you because we think

0:05:22.640 --> 0:05:25.680
<v Speaker 1>we know better than you, and you're not allowed to complain.

0:05:26.120 --> 0:05:28.919
<v Speaker 1>That's not the pitch. That's not the way they justify

0:05:28.960 --> 0:05:32.479
<v Speaker 1>their actions, even when that's exactly what they're doing. So here,

0:05:32.560 --> 0:05:36.680
<v Speaker 1>what they've decided to do is that they take it

0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:42.080
<v Speaker 1>upon themselves to be the people ordering thousands and thousands

0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:48.120
<v Speaker 1>of National Guard to be deployed all throughout DC because

0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:51.800
<v Speaker 1>of the threat of Trump supporters. I mean, this is

0:05:52.120 --> 0:05:55.480
<v Speaker 1>this is absurd. We're really supposed to think that that

0:05:55.800 --> 0:05:59.200
<v Speaker 1>Trump supporters are going to do? What will they protest

0:05:59.240 --> 0:06:02.760
<v Speaker 1>in DC? Abe? But a are we to think that

0:06:02.800 --> 0:06:06.440
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna violently try to overthrow the Senate or do

0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:09.320
<v Speaker 1>something along those lines. I know what they would say.

0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:11.440
<v Speaker 1>I know the Democrat response would be, they tried it

0:06:11.560 --> 0:06:14.840
<v Speaker 1>that one time, on that one day. All right. It

0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:18.440
<v Speaker 1>was a disaster. It wasn't a coup. It was a riot.

0:06:19.240 --> 0:06:23.440
<v Speaker 1>And anybody who has any sense at all understands that

0:06:23.520 --> 0:06:27.600
<v Speaker 1>it was the worst possible thing from a purely political standpoint.

0:06:28.320 --> 0:06:30.640
<v Speaker 1>It was the worst possible thing that a Trump supporter

0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:34.120
<v Speaker 1>could have done on that day at that time. It

0:06:34.279 --> 0:06:36.880
<v Speaker 1>played right, It played right into the Democrats hands put

0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:40.920
<v Speaker 1>aside the illegality and immorality of it for a moment.

0:06:41.120 --> 0:06:43.680
<v Speaker 1>It played right into the Democrats hands. So we're gonna

0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:47.039
<v Speaker 1>believe it, that's gonna happen again. No, but they want

0:06:47.120 --> 0:06:50.440
<v Speaker 1>thousands and thousands of troops deployed so that this can

0:06:50.480 --> 0:06:54.279
<v Speaker 1>be the way that the hysterical Democrats, Oh my gosh,

0:06:54.279 --> 0:06:57.839
<v Speaker 1>the Trump supporters can continue to play this game while

0:06:57.880 --> 0:07:01.919
<v Speaker 1>they show everybody while during this transition period, not the

0:07:01.960 --> 0:07:05.760
<v Speaker 1>official presidential transition that's already happened, but this change into

0:07:05.800 --> 0:07:09.080
<v Speaker 1>the new regime. We don't really pay attention to what

0:07:09.160 --> 0:07:12.480
<v Speaker 1>Biden's doing. We don't pay attention to the actions he's

0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:15.560
<v Speaker 1>taking because the media will just be focused on one,

0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:18.080
<v Speaker 1>how amazing Biden. Do you know that his son went

0:07:18.240 --> 0:07:21.000
<v Speaker 1>bagel shopping with him on Sunday after going to church.

0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:27.440
<v Speaker 1>It's disgusting, the throne shining, the foot rubbing, the Oh gosh,

0:07:27.520 --> 0:07:30.360
<v Speaker 1>Joe Biden's so amazing. Stuff you're seeing from the media

0:07:30.480 --> 0:07:33.880
<v Speaker 1>is there. They're an embarrassment, but this is their business model,

0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:39.400
<v Speaker 1>telling Democrats, telling the brainwashed left, how incredible this this

0:07:40.920 --> 0:07:45.400
<v Speaker 1>clown Joe Biden is. I mean, really, we're all supposed

0:07:45.400 --> 0:07:47.440
<v Speaker 1>to think that he's some great leaders, some great mind.

0:07:47.600 --> 0:07:50.440
<v Speaker 1>Nobody believes that, but they're all acting like it's true.

0:07:51.240 --> 0:07:54.880
<v Speaker 1>This is the emperor having no clothes on, except the

0:07:54.920 --> 0:07:58.600
<v Speaker 1>emperor is almost eighty years old, and you do worry

0:07:58.680 --> 0:08:00.920
<v Speaker 1>that he actually doesn't remember where pants. I mean, that's

0:08:00.920 --> 0:08:03.680
<v Speaker 1>where we are with this situation. But oh, we need

0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:07.840
<v Speaker 1>thousands of National Guard deployed. And they're even asking, they're

0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:11.720
<v Speaker 1>raising the question themselves, why are we on the streets

0:08:11.720 --> 0:08:14.200
<v Speaker 1>of DC exactly? What are we doing here? What's the mission?

0:08:14.920 --> 0:08:18.240
<v Speaker 1>What's the real threat? You know what the threat is.

0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:21.680
<v Speaker 1>They're gonna tell you. They're gonna tell you that it's

0:08:23.200 --> 0:08:26.800
<v Speaker 1>Trump voters trying to overthrow the Senator, some crazy nonsense

0:08:26.880 --> 0:08:30.120
<v Speaker 1>like that. But the real problem is that they don't

0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:36.840
<v Speaker 1>know how to keep their rage filled base happy without

0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:41.320
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump as the ultimate political pinata. And they also

0:08:41.520 --> 0:08:44.319
<v Speaker 1>don't want people to start to see that Joe Biden

0:08:44.760 --> 0:08:47.520
<v Speaker 1>is really an incompetent and that the people running this

0:08:47.559 --> 0:08:52.000
<v Speaker 1>administration are the Democrat members of the establishment and the

0:08:52.040 --> 0:08:55.960
<v Speaker 1>apparatus the left in general, who have decided what the

0:08:56.000 --> 0:08:59.680
<v Speaker 1>policies will be, what the decision making will be. Joe

0:08:59.679 --> 0:09:05.280
<v Speaker 1>Biden is just the vessel otherwise. Explain why he's getting

0:09:05.360 --> 0:09:08.960
<v Speaker 1>rid of the Keystone XL pipeline. Explain why he thinks

0:09:09.440 --> 0:09:13.240
<v Speaker 1>men should be able to compete in women's sports, biological

0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:18.600
<v Speaker 1>males competing against biological females. Look at the whole list

0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:23.120
<v Speaker 1>of executive orders. It was all divisive and bad policy.

0:09:23.840 --> 0:09:27.960
<v Speaker 1>These were objectively bad decisions for the country. But it's

0:09:27.960 --> 0:09:30.280
<v Speaker 1>what the left demands. You're gonna see a whole lot

0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:32.040
<v Speaker 1>more of it. They didn't. They didn't wait very long,

0:09:32.080 --> 0:09:35.400
<v Speaker 1>did they. They didn't wait at all. Because this is

0:09:35.400 --> 0:09:37.400
<v Speaker 1>the presidency we're dealing with. They can tell you as

0:09:37.440 --> 0:09:40.000
<v Speaker 1>much as they want about how there's other plans and

0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:42.520
<v Speaker 1>other things, and just wait one day, we'll get there.

0:09:42.840 --> 0:09:46.160
<v Speaker 1>But in the meantime, it's the continuation of the three

0:09:46.240 --> 0:09:50.600
<v Speaker 1>ring circus around Donald Trump, and oh my gosh, the

0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:53.880
<v Speaker 1>Republic will fall unless we have thousands and thousands of

0:09:53.920 --> 0:09:57.839
<v Speaker 1>soldiers deployed to stop those big, bad, mean Trump supporters,

0:09:57.880 --> 0:10:02.160
<v Speaker 1>all seventy five million of them. This is the Buck

0:10:08.120 --> 0:10:12.200
<v Speaker 1>What's the number one change of notice between from President

0:10:12.200 --> 0:10:16.040
<v Speaker 1>Biden to President Biden from President Trump. It was very clear, George,

0:10:16.040 --> 0:10:18.800
<v Speaker 1>and it was articulated multiple times. The President has said

0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:22.199
<v Speaker 1>it publicly, but in a private session just sitting down

0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:25.160
<v Speaker 1>with him and with the medical team, he's very serious.

0:10:25.160 --> 0:10:27.920
<v Speaker 1>He says science is going to rule. We're gonna go

0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:30.559
<v Speaker 1>by the facts. We're gonna go by the evidence. We're

0:10:30.559 --> 0:10:33.400
<v Speaker 1>gonna go by the data. If something is wrong, like

0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:36.480
<v Speaker 1>I just said, we're gonna just try and fix it,

0:10:36.640 --> 0:10:38.800
<v Speaker 1>then we're gonna pull out all the stops to get

0:10:38.800 --> 0:10:43.000
<v Speaker 1>our arms around this. Getting the vaccine situation on track

0:10:43.440 --> 0:10:47.160
<v Speaker 1>is his highest priority. So I mean the idea that

0:10:47.200 --> 0:10:50.400
<v Speaker 1>the president himself sits down with you and says, I

0:10:50.480 --> 0:10:53.000
<v Speaker 1>want science to rule. Go out there and do everything

0:10:53.040 --> 0:10:55.400
<v Speaker 1>we need to do to get it done. Just as

0:10:55.440 --> 0:11:00.760
<v Speaker 1>really very refreshing. Science will rule is a terrifying slogan

0:11:00.800 --> 0:11:05.240
<v Speaker 1>for anybody who knows history to hear science will rule.

0:11:05.440 --> 0:11:08.079
<v Speaker 1>I thought we the people rule through our elected representatives.

0:11:08.120 --> 0:11:10.800
<v Speaker 1>But now now all of a sudden, there's some high

0:11:10.880 --> 0:11:14.960
<v Speaker 1>priesthood of the hashtag science variety that's going to be

0:11:15.000 --> 0:11:19.559
<v Speaker 1>making really important policy decisions for us. You know who

0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:24.199
<v Speaker 1>also thinks that science will rule? This is true Marxists.

0:11:25.000 --> 0:11:28.960
<v Speaker 1>They always believe that all the social sciences, which aren't

0:11:29.000 --> 0:11:31.719
<v Speaker 1>really science, as you know, but that there was a

0:11:32.200 --> 0:11:36.160
<v Speaker 1>fact and evidence based way to order a society that

0:11:36.280 --> 0:11:40.400
<v Speaker 1>was irrefutable and must be true, is always true, even

0:11:40.400 --> 0:11:44.079
<v Speaker 1>when the results suck. That science is all you need,

0:11:44.120 --> 0:11:48.200
<v Speaker 1>you see, to reorder humankind so that we can all

0:11:48.320 --> 0:11:52.199
<v Speaker 1>have everything we need. And this is a fundamental tenet

0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:54.520
<v Speaker 1>of Marxism is to treat it as though they're running

0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:58.160
<v Speaker 1>a lab experiment on how to grow the fastest petunias,

0:11:58.400 --> 0:12:01.120
<v Speaker 1>except we're talking about human beings. We're talking about the

0:12:01.120 --> 0:12:05.040
<v Speaker 1>complexities and the moral questions that face the human race.

0:12:05.240 --> 0:12:09.079
<v Speaker 1>But the Marxists believe that with science, that's all you need,

0:12:09.400 --> 0:12:12.559
<v Speaker 1>and their science was really a pseudoscience of Marxism. That's

0:12:12.559 --> 0:12:14.800
<v Speaker 1>the whole point, you see. It's the answer to everything.

0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:16.959
<v Speaker 1>This is why it really is all a religious belief,

0:12:17.000 --> 0:12:22.000
<v Speaker 1>you see. And Fauci is going to be for anybody

0:12:22.040 --> 0:12:24.280
<v Speaker 1>who's watching and being honest about this, is going to

0:12:24.320 --> 0:12:27.440
<v Speaker 1>be proven to be essentially a giant fraud in this

0:12:27.480 --> 0:12:31.600
<v Speaker 1>whole process. He's been wrong. He's been wrong numerous times.

0:12:31.960 --> 0:12:37.400
<v Speaker 1>Here's a fact for you, Doctor Fauci lied to the

0:12:37.440 --> 0:12:41.640
<v Speaker 1>American people about masks by his own admission, because he

0:12:41.760 --> 0:12:44.520
<v Speaker 1>thought that that was a better thing for us to

0:12:44.640 --> 0:12:48.600
<v Speaker 1>go through when he said don't wear masks and then said, oh,

0:12:48.640 --> 0:12:51.000
<v Speaker 1>it's because I thought we'd run out of masks, Okay,

0:12:51.120 --> 0:12:54.120
<v Speaker 1>so he lied. This guy's a liar. This is the

0:12:54.120 --> 0:12:58.800
<v Speaker 1>whole the Truth and Science administration. This guy deceived the

0:12:58.840 --> 0:13:02.280
<v Speaker 1>American public. But really the truth is that he didn't

0:13:02.320 --> 0:13:05.120
<v Speaker 1>deceive the American public the way he said. It's that

0:13:06.000 --> 0:13:09.440
<v Speaker 1>all of science, until about five minutes ago, thought that

0:13:09.520 --> 0:13:12.400
<v Speaker 1>wearing a mask and a pandemic like this wasn't going

0:13:12.480 --> 0:13:15.839
<v Speaker 1>to have the kind of beneficial result. That doesn't mean

0:13:15.880 --> 0:13:19.000
<v Speaker 1>no benefit, but wouldn't have the kind of beneficial results

0:13:19.120 --> 0:13:24.240
<v Speaker 1>we keep being led to believe mask mandates will because

0:13:24.280 --> 0:13:27.320
<v Speaker 1>it's become part of the religion. Now, that's not to

0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:29.040
<v Speaker 1>say there's no truth to it. That's not to say

0:13:29.080 --> 0:13:31.160
<v Speaker 1>that I'm telling you that they don't work at all

0:13:31.400 --> 0:13:33.880
<v Speaker 1>or no. N ninety five masks and a clinical setting

0:13:33.920 --> 0:13:37.280
<v Speaker 1>absolutely help with respiratory infections a disease, no question, and

0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:39.800
<v Speaker 1>in some situations maybe a cloth mask would also have

0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:42.440
<v Speaker 1>not the same benefit, but some benefit, but as a

0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:46.360
<v Speaker 1>means of stopping the pandemic. Has it worked? Look around you.

0:13:47.120 --> 0:13:50.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm in mask central here in New York City. Has

0:13:50.320 --> 0:13:53.120
<v Speaker 1>it stopped the virus? Has it stopped the pandemic or

0:13:53.120 --> 0:13:55.440
<v Speaker 1>even come close to it? No, we're setting all time records,

0:13:56.200 --> 0:13:58.480
<v Speaker 1>but we didn't do it enough. That's why you're seeing.

0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:02.440
<v Speaker 1>You can find them yourself to two or three articles

0:14:02.480 --> 0:14:04.640
<v Speaker 1>now coming out last last week from the New York

0:14:04.640 --> 0:14:08.320
<v Speaker 1>Times alone time a double mask, gotta I'm not making

0:14:08.320 --> 0:14:11.840
<v Speaker 1>this up. Got a double mask. Well, you can see

0:14:12.160 --> 0:14:15.920
<v Speaker 1>if you go back on my Twitter account, just to

0:14:15.920 --> 0:14:19.040
<v Speaker 1>give you a sense. Somehow I can tell what's coming.

0:14:19.120 --> 0:14:23.280
<v Speaker 1>Somehow I know what's going to happen here. But you

0:14:23.320 --> 0:14:25.840
<v Speaker 1>go back in my Twitter account and you see that

0:14:25.920 --> 0:14:29.520
<v Speaker 1>I said on December tenth. Here we are now. It

0:14:29.840 --> 0:14:34.640
<v Speaker 1>is January twenty fifth, I tweeted on December tenth. Sometime

0:14:34.680 --> 0:14:38.320
<v Speaker 1>in about mid January, when cases are still very high,

0:14:38.480 --> 0:14:42.400
<v Speaker 1>despite all the painful lockdown insanity, there will be an

0:14:42.520 --> 0:14:45.760
<v Speaker 1>n ninety five. Masks are actually far more effective. We

0:14:45.760 --> 0:14:48.800
<v Speaker 1>should have advocated for those all along. Moment of recognition

0:14:48.920 --> 0:14:54.120
<v Speaker 1>from the experts. Well, I shared yesterday a story from

0:14:54.840 --> 0:14:59.840
<v Speaker 1>from CNN that says that Germany has mandated only medical

0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:03.640
<v Speaker 1>grade masks. Why, because those homemade cloth masks that are

0:15:03.840 --> 0:15:06.480
<v Speaker 1>so effective at blocking COVID, they're like, well, actually they

0:15:06.480 --> 0:15:10.680
<v Speaker 1>don't look like they're that effective. And one large German state, Bavaria,

0:15:10.760 --> 0:15:15.640
<v Speaker 1>has mandated N ninety five masks only. So now it's

0:15:15.680 --> 0:15:17.920
<v Speaker 1>if you're not wearing an N ninety five mask, you

0:15:17.960 --> 0:15:20.640
<v Speaker 1>can't even get on mass transit. You can't go into

0:15:20.640 --> 0:15:23.920
<v Speaker 1>public places, not even one of those medical grade you know,

0:15:24.120 --> 0:15:28.880
<v Speaker 1>two ply fabric masks gotta be N ninety five. Why

0:15:28.920 --> 0:15:30.440
<v Speaker 1>did I know this was going to happen. I'm not

0:15:30.480 --> 0:15:32.640
<v Speaker 1>a doctor, I'm not a Blue check MD. I'm not

0:15:32.640 --> 0:15:36.040
<v Speaker 1>one of these these pandemic epidemiologists they keep putting on

0:15:36.080 --> 0:15:37.760
<v Speaker 1>CNN every five minutes. Why did I know this was

0:15:37.800 --> 0:15:41.840
<v Speaker 1>going to happen? Because I know what the arguments are here,

0:15:42.240 --> 0:15:44.200
<v Speaker 1>and I know that they keep on being wrong and

0:15:44.280 --> 0:15:46.760
<v Speaker 1>ignoring it and saying, shut up, wear your mask. It's

0:15:46.800 --> 0:15:50.200
<v Speaker 1>gonna save us. Okay, hasn't saved us yet, has it?

0:15:51.240 --> 0:15:53.160
<v Speaker 1>So what do they do? They change the argument, and

0:15:53.200 --> 0:15:57.440
<v Speaker 1>then if you question them, you're the problem. Doctor Fauci

0:15:57.560 --> 0:16:00.160
<v Speaker 1>was the beginning of this. He said, don't wear the mask,

0:16:00.280 --> 0:16:02.640
<v Speaker 1>and then people said, Hold on a second. You know

0:16:03.760 --> 0:16:06.000
<v Speaker 1>you now say wear them, and he says, well, I

0:16:06.120 --> 0:16:10.880
<v Speaker 1>had to lie to you for your own good. An

0:16:10.920 --> 0:16:16.120
<v Speaker 1>administration is that is ruled by science. That's what he said,

0:16:16.320 --> 0:16:20.040
<v Speaker 1>ruled by science. You don't think that Fauci's a power

0:16:20.040 --> 0:16:22.520
<v Speaker 1>mad little maniac. Now you know. He's the highest paid

0:16:22.600 --> 0:16:25.240
<v Speaker 1>employee in the federal government, makes more than a four

0:16:25.280 --> 0:16:27.440
<v Speaker 1>star general, makes more than the president of the United States.

0:16:27.680 --> 0:16:31.040
<v Speaker 1>He's making over four hundred thousand dollars a year. It's

0:16:31.040 --> 0:16:33.960
<v Speaker 1>a great gig to have, basically unfireable. He's been sitting

0:16:34.000 --> 0:16:37.160
<v Speaker 1>there for decades. It's going to lots of meetings making

0:16:37.200 --> 0:16:41.240
<v Speaker 1>bad policy decisions under the guise of the rule of science.

0:16:42.640 --> 0:16:45.280
<v Speaker 1>The CDC with this whole thing, has been a disaster,

0:16:45.760 --> 0:16:51.000
<v Speaker 1>a disaster, and it's because it's a decades long, decades

0:16:51.040 --> 0:16:55.640
<v Speaker 1>long in the making, federal bureaucratic screw up, because there's

0:16:55.640 --> 0:16:57.960
<v Speaker 1>no accountability, because you don't want government in charge of

0:16:58.040 --> 0:17:02.960
<v Speaker 1>things because they don't do a good job. But oh,

0:17:03.000 --> 0:17:05.800
<v Speaker 1>that's right, we'll be ruled by science, he says, as

0:17:05.800 --> 0:17:07.520
<v Speaker 1>if that's all that's all that has to be said.

0:17:07.520 --> 0:17:10.800
<v Speaker 1>And then beyond that, we're supposed to just be quiet

0:17:10.840 --> 0:17:14.840
<v Speaker 1>and listen. Do as you're told. Oh, okay, we'll get

0:17:14.840 --> 0:17:16.760
<v Speaker 1>into Gavin Newsom all of a sudden is going to

0:17:16.800 --> 0:17:20.000
<v Speaker 1>open up California. Are the cases so different? There? Is

0:17:20.000 --> 0:17:22.480
<v Speaker 1>it such a different situation? And if we're going to

0:17:22.560 --> 0:17:26.280
<v Speaker 1>be ruled by the science, explain to me the science

0:17:26.800 --> 0:17:31.080
<v Speaker 1>of not allowing the Keystone XL pipeline, which Biden just

0:17:31.160 --> 0:17:33.919
<v Speaker 1>shot down. The whole project is now scrapped by executive

0:17:33.920 --> 0:17:37.840
<v Speaker 1>FIAT not allowing the Keystone XEL pipeline when the State

0:17:37.880 --> 0:17:44.640
<v Speaker 1>Department's analysis under the Obama administration was that blocking Keystone

0:17:44.800 --> 0:17:51.600
<v Speaker 1>would increase CO two emissions. That's right, increase by blocking.

0:17:51.800 --> 0:17:55.840
<v Speaker 1>But they're doing it anyway, ruled by science. They say, sure,

0:17:56.800 --> 0:17:59.480
<v Speaker 1>you're in the freedom hunt. Thanks for listening to The

0:17:59.520 --> 0:18:02.800
<v Speaker 1>Buckston Show podcast to get the latest from Buck at

0:18:02.800 --> 0:18:07.920
<v Speaker 1>buck Sexton dot com. Well, I mean, obviously it was

0:18:08.080 --> 0:18:13.360
<v Speaker 1>it was not an easy situation. I always did speak

0:18:13.840 --> 0:18:19.200
<v Speaker 1>based on the data and the science, but obviously there

0:18:19.280 --> 0:18:23.439
<v Speaker 1>was pressure about messaging that. And you know, I have

0:18:23.760 --> 0:18:29.400
<v Speaker 1>I took no pleasure in having to sometimes publicly, even

0:18:29.480 --> 0:18:33.199
<v Speaker 1>with the President there, to contradict what he was saying.

0:18:33.320 --> 0:18:36.320
<v Speaker 1>But I felt as a scientist. I had to be

0:18:36.400 --> 0:18:39.800
<v Speaker 1>true to myself and true to the science to make

0:18:39.840 --> 0:18:42.320
<v Speaker 1>sure that where there were things that I thought might

0:18:42.400 --> 0:18:45.840
<v Speaker 1>be misinformation, that I would have to correct that. And

0:18:45.880 --> 0:18:49.760
<v Speaker 1>there were a number of instances of that. That is

0:18:49.800 --> 0:18:53.159
<v Speaker 1>not a comfortable situation, you know. It also was in

0:18:53.200 --> 0:18:57.639
<v Speaker 1>a comfortable situation for doctor Fauci is being in the

0:18:57.680 --> 0:19:00.360
<v Speaker 1>position that you're supposed to have been preparing for your

0:19:00.359 --> 0:19:06.600
<v Speaker 1>whole life and just being a disaster, having no real plan,

0:19:06.760 --> 0:19:13.320
<v Speaker 1>no answers, just being a political megaphone of fear. I mean,

0:19:13.359 --> 0:19:15.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm hearing people now who say, yes, buck, you know what,

0:19:15.920 --> 0:19:18.960
<v Speaker 1>This is what democrats will tell you. Sure, some of

0:19:19.000 --> 0:19:23.560
<v Speaker 1>the pandemic theater that we go through is idiotic. Sure,

0:19:24.359 --> 0:19:27.440
<v Speaker 1>some of the things that we're being told to do

0:19:27.840 --> 0:19:31.159
<v Speaker 1>make no sense, won't change anything, and it's absurd. But

0:19:31.320 --> 0:19:35.960
<v Speaker 1>it's about conditioning the public to respond to health commands

0:19:36.000 --> 0:19:39.840
<v Speaker 1>like this. Oh so it's Pavlovian. It's like we're all

0:19:39.840 --> 0:19:42.800
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of dogs getting our treat from the government.

0:19:42.800 --> 0:19:46.000
<v Speaker 1>Maybe we get patted on the head afterwards. This is

0:19:46.040 --> 0:19:49.000
<v Speaker 1>what democrats who are being honest will openly tell you. Now, well,

0:19:49.000 --> 0:19:52.280
<v Speaker 1>it's really sure, Maybe what you're doing makes no sense.

0:19:52.520 --> 0:19:56.680
<v Speaker 1>But if everybody does something nonsensical about COVID, then there

0:19:56.760 --> 0:19:59.840
<v Speaker 1>might be some benefit that comes from it. That's worth

0:20:00.000 --> 0:20:02.480
<v Speaker 1>all the nonsense. For you. Tell that to the people

0:20:02.520 --> 0:20:04.760
<v Speaker 1>who have lost their jobs, you know, Tell that to

0:20:04.800 --> 0:20:07.760
<v Speaker 1>the people who are losing family members to severe depression

0:20:07.760 --> 0:20:11.400
<v Speaker 1>and to suicide, to the kids who are losing developmental

0:20:11.440 --> 0:20:13.240
<v Speaker 1>time in school that will never be able to get

0:20:13.240 --> 0:20:19.000
<v Speaker 1>back all the costs that we're willing to take on apparently,

0:20:20.000 --> 0:20:22.080
<v Speaker 1>or are we, because now all of a sudden, some

0:20:22.119 --> 0:20:24.520
<v Speaker 1>Blue states are saying, you know what, we might have

0:20:24.560 --> 0:20:28.679
<v Speaker 1>to reopen soon. Oh we'll get into that in a moment,

0:20:29.200 --> 0:20:31.840
<v Speaker 1>because I first want to start with the ruled by

0:20:32.000 --> 0:20:36.880
<v Speaker 1>science bullcrap here when it comes to the Keystone XL pipeline.

0:20:36.920 --> 0:20:41.400
<v Speaker 1>Just as a quick review, the enviral wackos have decided

0:20:41.480 --> 0:20:45.399
<v Speaker 1>this is this is gonna be like Waterloo for the

0:20:45.440 --> 0:20:48.720
<v Speaker 1>fossil fuel industry. They think this is the single most

0:20:48.760 --> 0:20:51.360
<v Speaker 1>important battle they can wage. And they're all celebrating now,

0:20:51.600 --> 0:20:54.320
<v Speaker 1>and they got you know, Native American groups in on this,

0:20:54.400 --> 0:20:59.520
<v Speaker 1>and all all the left wing virtue signaling nonsense piled

0:20:59.560 --> 0:21:03.240
<v Speaker 1>together here to stop the Keystone XCEL pipeline. By way

0:21:03.240 --> 0:21:06.960
<v Speaker 1>of quick review, the Keystone Xcel pipeline would take the

0:21:09.000 --> 0:21:14.240
<v Speaker 1>oil sands from the from the from Canada, from Alberta

0:21:14.320 --> 0:21:18.639
<v Speaker 1>and take them all the way down to the US

0:21:18.920 --> 0:21:24.199
<v Speaker 1>Gulf Coast. That's what that's the whole thing, right, And

0:21:24.280 --> 0:21:28.680
<v Speaker 1>it's a pipeline. And the truth is that this would

0:21:28.680 --> 0:21:31.720
<v Speaker 1>have just been a very efficient way because we refine

0:21:31.760 --> 0:21:34.080
<v Speaker 1>it so we would have a refinery agreement with them,

0:21:34.080 --> 0:21:35.159
<v Speaker 1>and then we'd be able to distribute it to the

0:21:35.200 --> 0:21:38.200
<v Speaker 1>whole world. This would be a very effective and efficient

0:21:38.240 --> 0:21:42.119
<v Speaker 1>way to get the oil to market. And despite the

0:21:42.200 --> 0:21:46.800
<v Speaker 1>Left's best intentions otherwise, we have become America has become

0:21:46.880 --> 0:21:51.960
<v Speaker 1>because of fracking, an energy a true energy superpower. We're

0:21:52.000 --> 0:21:55.080
<v Speaker 1>really the world's global preeminent energy superpower. You don't hear

0:21:55.080 --> 0:21:57.760
<v Speaker 1>about that because about half the country Democrats are so

0:21:57.920 --> 0:22:01.879
<v Speaker 1>brainwashed that they think that's not something to be proud of.

0:22:02.240 --> 0:22:05.760
<v Speaker 1>It absolutely is. It's the reason we have so much productivity.

0:22:06.040 --> 0:22:10.840
<v Speaker 1>The fossil fuel industry is used in the creation fifty

0:22:10.880 --> 0:22:14.359
<v Speaker 1>percent of oil, for example, and fossil fuel is used

0:22:14.800 --> 0:22:19.120
<v Speaker 1>for products and is used in the distribution of products,

0:22:19.119 --> 0:22:23.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, distribution of things like vaccine, that's right. Want

0:22:23.760 --> 0:22:27.480
<v Speaker 1>you want an effective vaccination distribution program, you need a

0:22:27.640 --> 0:22:33.320
<v Speaker 1>lot of energy for logistics. You need a lot of

0:22:33.560 --> 0:22:37.360
<v Speaker 1>energy in order to keep that temperature at negative whatever

0:22:37.400 --> 0:22:40.640
<v Speaker 1>it is, a degree celsius so that the vaccine can

0:22:40.680 --> 0:22:44.000
<v Speaker 1>stay viable. And you need money for all of this,

0:22:44.119 --> 0:22:47.280
<v Speaker 1>and it becomes more expensive when oil and fossil fuels

0:22:47.280 --> 0:22:51.760
<v Speaker 1>are more expensive. They are fighting the modern economy itself,

0:22:52.520 --> 0:22:55.440
<v Speaker 1>which is an absurdity, and they pretend that they're doing

0:22:55.480 --> 0:22:58.479
<v Speaker 1>in the name of science, which is laughable. Do you

0:22:58.520 --> 0:23:02.320
<v Speaker 1>know what the net CO two benefit of blocking the

0:23:02.359 --> 0:23:07.600
<v Speaker 1>Keystone XL pipeline. According to multiple full State Department reviews,

0:23:07.600 --> 0:23:10.160
<v Speaker 1>Because it is an international deal, the State Department got

0:23:10.160 --> 0:23:13.320
<v Speaker 1>to review it, including under the Obama administration, the net

0:23:13.400 --> 0:23:17.840
<v Speaker 1>CO two change is either negligible to zero or negative,

0:23:18.200 --> 0:23:21.880
<v Speaker 1>meaning that this oil is still going to come out

0:23:21.920 --> 0:23:24.720
<v Speaker 1>of the ground. It's just going to be taken in

0:23:24.840 --> 0:23:28.560
<v Speaker 1>tankers and trucks to market instead of with a pipeline,

0:23:28.760 --> 0:23:31.760
<v Speaker 1>which is far more efficient and far more cost effective

0:23:31.960 --> 0:23:35.560
<v Speaker 1>and also less likely eutherapy leakage and spills which affect

0:23:35.560 --> 0:23:42.280
<v Speaker 1>the environment. The Keystone XL pipeline blockage is worse for

0:23:42.359 --> 0:23:45.720
<v Speaker 1>everyone in every way. It is worse for the environment,

0:23:45.840 --> 0:23:48.359
<v Speaker 1>It is worse for business, It is worse for you

0:23:48.920 --> 0:23:52.000
<v Speaker 1>because of what it means for jobs, for the economy,

0:23:52.040 --> 0:23:56.120
<v Speaker 1>and for energy costs. But Democrats are blocking it anyway.

0:23:56.160 --> 0:24:03.640
<v Speaker 1>Why because they can, Because the envirol wackos have convinced

0:24:03.640 --> 0:24:05.800
<v Speaker 1>themselves that this is a battle they have to win.

0:24:06.240 --> 0:24:09.560
<v Speaker 1>They have to show that they have the power even

0:24:09.640 --> 0:24:14.360
<v Speaker 1>when all science and reason are against them, even when

0:24:14.400 --> 0:24:17.200
<v Speaker 1>there is no data to support their point of view.

0:24:18.440 --> 0:24:22.400
<v Speaker 1>They have to find a situation like this where they

0:24:22.400 --> 0:24:26.320
<v Speaker 1>can rally together and get the government to shut down

0:24:26.400 --> 0:24:31.360
<v Speaker 1>something because they don't like it. Oil is ikey, fossil

0:24:31.400 --> 0:24:37.720
<v Speaker 1>fuel bad. Shut it down. It's childish, it's destructive, it's stupid,

0:24:38.240 --> 0:24:40.520
<v Speaker 1>and it's the first thing that Biden does day one

0:24:40.760 --> 0:24:42.800
<v Speaker 1>in office, signs an executive order on this to stop

0:24:42.840 --> 0:24:48.080
<v Speaker 1>the Keystone XIL pipeline. There's no good faith argument about

0:24:48.119 --> 0:24:51.040
<v Speaker 1>why to shut this thing down compared to the alternatives,

0:24:51.240 --> 0:24:53.639
<v Speaker 1>if it's really about the environment, unless you're gonna say, oh,

0:24:53.680 --> 0:24:56.359
<v Speaker 1>it's because there would definitely be some kind of an

0:24:56.480 --> 0:24:59.520
<v Speaker 1>oil disaster. They don't know that, and pipelines are far

0:25:00.440 --> 0:25:03.760
<v Speaker 1>less likely to have spills and disasters than other forms

0:25:03.760 --> 0:25:08.199
<v Speaker 1>of transport. Yeah, how many horrible oil pipeline disasters have

0:25:08.240 --> 0:25:11.880
<v Speaker 1>you heard. You've heard of tankard disasters, right, transit point

0:25:11.880 --> 0:25:16.440
<v Speaker 1>disasters when it involves vehicles. But how many pipeline disasters

0:25:16.440 --> 0:25:20.280
<v Speaker 1>have you heard about in the United States recently? Yeah, exactly.

0:25:21.000 --> 0:25:25.240
<v Speaker 1>But this was the left flexing the environmentalist left, and

0:25:25.480 --> 0:25:28.919
<v Speaker 1>they're a religious group. You have to understand that the

0:25:29.400 --> 0:25:34.520
<v Speaker 1>climate change activists, the anti pipeline activists, this is a

0:25:34.600 --> 0:25:37.560
<v Speaker 1>religious group of people who think they're too smart for religion,

0:25:39.240 --> 0:25:41.680
<v Speaker 1>and so for them, it's just all about the victory.

0:25:41.680 --> 0:25:45.159
<v Speaker 1>It's all about enforcing their will on the rest of

0:25:45.160 --> 0:25:48.320
<v Speaker 1>the American people and establishing that they have the power

0:25:48.320 --> 0:25:51.280
<v Speaker 1>to do that, even if it just means that the

0:25:51.400 --> 0:25:57.240
<v Speaker 1>outcomes are negative for everyone involved, which they are. This somehow,

0:25:57.440 --> 0:25:59.320
<v Speaker 1>just like the BLM movement, which I said to you

0:25:59.400 --> 0:26:03.680
<v Speaker 1>last summer, makes everything worse for everyone. There is no improvement.

0:26:03.720 --> 0:26:07.280
<v Speaker 1>It makes nothing better for people, doesn't make things better

0:26:07.280 --> 0:26:09.480
<v Speaker 1>for minorities, doesn't make things better for the police, doesn't

0:26:09.520 --> 0:26:14.000
<v Speaker 1>make things better for just Americans. Blocking the Keystone XIL

0:26:14.040 --> 0:26:16.119
<v Speaker 1>pipeline is the same thing for the left. But it

0:26:16.160 --> 0:26:20.040
<v Speaker 1>shows you the mentality. This is just going to make

0:26:20.200 --> 0:26:23.720
<v Speaker 1>energy costs higher. This is going to cost lots of jobs,

0:26:24.000 --> 0:26:27.160
<v Speaker 1>and it won't even if you believe that CO two

0:26:27.200 --> 0:26:29.240
<v Speaker 1>is going to melt the planet over time or whatever,

0:26:29.400 --> 0:26:32.520
<v Speaker 1>if you're a climate change alarmist alarmist, this does not

0:26:32.720 --> 0:26:38.719
<v Speaker 1>stop the oil sands of Alberta from producing fossil fuels

0:26:38.720 --> 0:26:40.359
<v Speaker 1>that will make it to the global market. So it's

0:26:40.359 --> 0:26:43.199
<v Speaker 1>the same either way. In fact that the distribution of

0:26:43.240 --> 0:26:46.560
<v Speaker 1>that oil sand now will require more fossil fuel. Therefore

0:26:46.600 --> 0:26:49.680
<v Speaker 1>there'll be more CO two in the air. But they're

0:26:49.680 --> 0:26:55.200
<v Speaker 1>doing it anyway because they're fixated on it, because they

0:26:55.240 --> 0:26:59.200
<v Speaker 1>want to wield power, because we said, we don't like it.

0:27:00.000 --> 0:27:03.159
<v Speaker 1>She's the ruled by science people, right, we don't like it,

0:27:03.680 --> 0:27:07.520
<v Speaker 1>so we're gonna stop. It doesn't make any sense. And

0:27:07.600 --> 0:27:10.480
<v Speaker 1>it's not the do you think, doctor Fouch it's gonna say.

0:27:10.520 --> 0:27:12.720
<v Speaker 1>You know, turns out if you look at the data

0:27:12.800 --> 0:27:15.560
<v Speaker 1>and all the you know, and all the scientists that

0:27:15.640 --> 0:27:19.480
<v Speaker 1>look at the Keystone XCEL and the CEO two, you know,

0:27:19.560 --> 0:27:21.800
<v Speaker 1>if you look at it, No, he's not, of course,

0:27:21.880 --> 0:27:24.960
<v Speaker 1>not for the same reason that Fauci won't say, open

0:27:25.040 --> 0:27:27.720
<v Speaker 1>up all the schools for the same reason that Fauci

0:27:27.800 --> 0:27:33.320
<v Speaker 1>won't say that wearing masks outside is the mandating outdoor

0:27:33.320 --> 0:27:36.800
<v Speaker 1>mask wearing is dumb and counterproductive. He won't say that

0:27:38.119 --> 0:27:41.480
<v Speaker 1>because he exists as a kind of you know, little

0:27:41.960 --> 0:27:48.320
<v Speaker 1>a little genie of left wing democrat science demagoguery, you know,

0:27:48.640 --> 0:27:52.240
<v Speaker 1>rub the lamp and Fauci appears to tell the Democrats

0:27:52.280 --> 0:27:54.760
<v Speaker 1>exactly what they want to hear about science, never tells

0:27:54.760 --> 0:27:56.919
<v Speaker 1>them what they don't want to hear. This is the

0:28:06.000 --> 0:28:08.320
<v Speaker 1>He may read it on the show. These channels are

0:28:08.320 --> 0:28:11.719
<v Speaker 1>more antidemocrat than they are pro Trump. And the Biden

0:28:11.800 --> 0:28:14.640
<v Speaker 1>bashing has been turned up to eleven and twelve and thirteen.

0:28:15.240 --> 0:28:17.320
<v Speaker 1>So has the media bashing. By the way, take a

0:28:17.320 --> 0:28:19.920
<v Speaker 1>look at us some of the banners from Fox's air

0:28:19.960 --> 0:28:22.560
<v Speaker 1>in the past few days. Fox a huge member of

0:28:22.600 --> 0:28:25.200
<v Speaker 1>the national news media, pretending like it's not a member

0:28:25.200 --> 0:28:27.639
<v Speaker 1>of the media at all, claiming that the media is

0:28:27.640 --> 0:28:32.000
<v Speaker 1>out to praise Biden, fawn over Biden. He's the media's messiah,

0:28:32.040 --> 0:28:34.800
<v Speaker 1>every hour, every day. That's the narrative, and it's gonna

0:28:34.800 --> 0:28:38.560
<v Speaker 1>be like this for the next four years. So Biden

0:28:38.600 --> 0:28:42.400
<v Speaker 1>can talk about politics not needing to be a raging fire,

0:28:43.280 --> 0:28:46.120
<v Speaker 1>that the fire doesn't have to be raging, but it is.

0:28:46.320 --> 0:28:48.400
<v Speaker 1>It is today, and it was yesterday and it will

0:28:48.440 --> 0:28:51.200
<v Speaker 1>be tomorrow. On these shows that millions of people watch.

0:28:51.720 --> 0:28:55.160
<v Speaker 1>Unity is impossible, Okay. The United States is living in

0:28:55.200 --> 0:28:59.960
<v Speaker 1>this parallel there's parallel universes within the United States. Unity

0:29:00.120 --> 0:29:02.480
<v Speaker 1>is not feasible. It's not. But can the temperature be

0:29:02.560 --> 0:29:06.080
<v Speaker 1>lowered just two or three degrees? Wouldn't that help? Isn't

0:29:06.120 --> 0:29:08.960
<v Speaker 1>that possible? Would it be better if you just gave

0:29:09.040 --> 0:29:12.360
<v Speaker 1>up all the things that you want to need and

0:29:12.560 --> 0:29:16.320
<v Speaker 1>add submit to the rule of science at CTED? The

0:29:16.400 --> 0:29:18.960
<v Speaker 1>rule of science at CNN has a good rig to it,

0:29:19.000 --> 0:29:22.000
<v Speaker 1>doesn't it? Yes, it does. Why are you saying that

0:29:22.040 --> 0:29:27.040
<v Speaker 1>the media is so nice? Debided? We're super hard at bided. Yeah.

0:29:27.720 --> 0:29:31.200
<v Speaker 1>Noticed that the problem is just that there's one channel

0:29:31.440 --> 0:29:34.600
<v Speaker 1>that is pointing out that all the other channels are

0:29:34.640 --> 0:29:38.760
<v Speaker 1>giving Biden a BackRub on air constantly. There's one but

0:29:38.840 --> 0:29:40.800
<v Speaker 1>one channel saying, look what these other channels are doing

0:29:40.840 --> 0:29:45.880
<v Speaker 1>that's not allowed. Should there be any opposition media whatsoever

0:29:45.960 --> 0:29:48.480
<v Speaker 1>under a bid administration? Really ask yourself that question. The

0:29:48.960 --> 0:29:51.400
<v Speaker 1>journals in this country are so pathetic. There's such little

0:29:51.480 --> 0:29:56.080
<v Speaker 1>quizzlings that they seem to think that the real service

0:29:56.120 --> 0:30:00.720
<v Speaker 1>they can provide is to be cheerleaders for a administration

0:30:01.080 --> 0:30:05.640
<v Speaker 1>that has ninety five percent of the information purveyors out

0:30:05.680 --> 0:30:08.719
<v Speaker 1>there in media, news and journalism to be completely on

0:30:08.760 --> 0:30:12.720
<v Speaker 1>their team. That's what we're told, that's the way it

0:30:12.720 --> 0:30:15.360
<v Speaker 1>should be. That's a that's a better way forward. I mean,

0:30:15.360 --> 0:30:18.400
<v Speaker 1>this is laughable. This is what they do, this is

0:30:18.400 --> 0:30:26.400
<v Speaker 1>what they demand, absolutely absurd. So with that, I also

0:30:26.440 --> 0:30:29.080
<v Speaker 1>want to point out that now they're having these Trump

0:30:29.240 --> 0:30:34.280
<v Speaker 1>is gone, let's have the high priests and priestesses of

0:30:34.760 --> 0:30:38.440
<v Speaker 1>the science bureaucracies come forward to speak to us about

0:30:38.520 --> 0:30:42.800
<v Speaker 1>what's really happening in the country, including doctor Deborah Burke's

0:30:43.720 --> 0:30:46.480
<v Speaker 1>best known I think for wearing colorful scarves at the

0:30:47.320 --> 0:30:51.560
<v Speaker 1>at the meetings that she was a frequent participant in

0:30:51.560 --> 0:30:54.640
<v Speaker 1>the early days of the COVID pandemic. Here she is

0:30:54.760 --> 0:30:59.320
<v Speaker 1>play play play six. Did you ever consider quitting? Always?

0:31:00.240 --> 0:31:03.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean, why would you want to put yourself through that?

0:31:04.640 --> 0:31:09.120
<v Speaker 1>Every day? Colleagues of mine that I'd known for decades,

0:31:10.640 --> 0:31:14.480
<v Speaker 1>decades in that one experience, because I was in the

0:31:14.560 --> 0:31:20.160
<v Speaker 1>White House, decided that I had become this political person,

0:31:20.200 --> 0:31:23.840
<v Speaker 1>even though they had known me forever. I had to

0:31:23.880 --> 0:31:27.040
<v Speaker 1>ask myself every morning, is there something that I think

0:31:27.080 --> 0:31:30.400
<v Speaker 1>I can do that would be helpful in responding to

0:31:30.440 --> 0:31:33.600
<v Speaker 1>this pandemic? And it's something I asked myself every night.

0:31:34.480 --> 0:31:39.840
<v Speaker 1>And when it became a point where I wasn't getting anywhere,

0:31:39.920 --> 0:31:42.960
<v Speaker 1>and that was like right before the election, I wrote

0:31:43.000 --> 0:31:46.760
<v Speaker 1>a very detailed communication plan of what needed to happen

0:31:46.840 --> 0:31:50.320
<v Speaker 1>the day after the election and how that needed to

0:31:50.360 --> 0:31:53.280
<v Speaker 1>be executed, and there was a lot of promise that

0:31:53.720 --> 0:31:57.360
<v Speaker 1>would happen. You knew at that point that the election

0:31:57.600 --> 0:32:01.280
<v Speaker 1>was a factor in communication about the virus. Yes, did

0:32:01.360 --> 0:32:05.480
<v Speaker 1>you ever withhold information yourself? No, of course the election

0:32:05.640 --> 0:32:08.120
<v Speaker 1>was a factor in the way the virus is being

0:32:08.160 --> 0:32:12.480
<v Speaker 1>described the entire media. I mean, CNN made its coronavirus

0:32:12.560 --> 0:32:15.760
<v Speaker 1>death counter go away when Joe Biden came into office.

0:32:15.800 --> 0:32:18.720
<v Speaker 1>You can see this, this is real, this happened, And

0:32:18.840 --> 0:32:23.040
<v Speaker 1>that's just one indicator. There are so many others. But

0:32:23.040 --> 0:32:25.000
<v Speaker 1>but now you know, doctor Burke's all this stuff they're

0:32:25.000 --> 0:32:29.160
<v Speaker 1>saying about the Trump administration. The Trump administration listened to

0:32:29.240 --> 0:32:32.880
<v Speaker 1>Fauci and Burkes. They pushed for the fifteen days to

0:32:32.920 --> 0:32:36.040
<v Speaker 1>slow the spread, which was obviously preposterous now in retrospect,

0:32:36.040 --> 0:32:38.960
<v Speaker 1>because it was really, you know, five months to slow

0:32:39.000 --> 0:32:41.880
<v Speaker 1>the spread and then now we're back to another five

0:32:41.920 --> 0:32:44.160
<v Speaker 1>months to slow the spread. It it was never just

0:32:44.240 --> 0:32:48.360
<v Speaker 1>fifteen days, but that's how they sold it. It was dishonest.

0:32:49.120 --> 0:32:51.200
<v Speaker 1>They were never going to let us reopen after fifteen days.

0:32:51.280 --> 0:32:54.440
<v Speaker 1>But now now you're starting to see, oh, that's right,

0:32:54.600 --> 0:32:57.440
<v Speaker 1>Joe Biden's in charge. Is everything better all of a sudden,

0:32:57.960 --> 0:33:03.320
<v Speaker 1>has the virus gone away way force? Not? In fact,

0:33:03.360 --> 0:33:05.720
<v Speaker 1>it's it has been the worst that it's ever been recently.

0:33:06.560 --> 0:33:09.920
<v Speaker 1>And yet Burks is out there because look, they want

0:33:09.920 --> 0:33:14.040
<v Speaker 1>to be liked by the establishment. Every the establishment is

0:33:14.080 --> 0:33:18.520
<v Speaker 1>so powerful. It's money, it's prestige, it's how people treat you. Right,

0:33:18.840 --> 0:33:21.240
<v Speaker 1>you want the establishment on your side if you can

0:33:21.280 --> 0:33:23.560
<v Speaker 1>have it. If you're one of these public health officials,

0:33:23.600 --> 0:33:26.760
<v Speaker 1>I get it. I understand same things true in media.

0:33:26.800 --> 0:33:29.160
<v Speaker 1>By the way, do you know any more options I

0:33:29.200 --> 0:33:32.440
<v Speaker 1>would have with my career right now? If I just

0:33:32.920 --> 0:33:36.360
<v Speaker 1>became a kind of even a sort of moderate controlled

0:33:36.360 --> 0:33:39.280
<v Speaker 1>opposition Republican. Yeah, I say with the Democrats, I kind

0:33:39.280 --> 0:33:41.080
<v Speaker 1>of talk them sometimes, but I say what the Democrats

0:33:41.080 --> 0:33:44.800
<v Speaker 1>mostly want me to say, go on so many more channels,

0:33:44.840 --> 0:33:46.720
<v Speaker 1>and you know, you get a bigger book deal and

0:33:46.800 --> 0:33:50.080
<v Speaker 1>all this stuff. Burks knows that, and that's why she's

0:33:50.120 --> 0:33:52.640
<v Speaker 1>got to come out now and say all this stuff.

0:33:52.640 --> 0:33:57.080
<v Speaker 1>When she and Fauci were failures with a big f

0:33:57.760 --> 0:34:01.240
<v Speaker 1>failures in the way they came up with a response

0:34:01.280 --> 0:34:03.680
<v Speaker 1>to the pandemic. Everything about it, it was, it was absurd.

0:34:04.600 --> 0:34:07.640
<v Speaker 1>Here she is talking about the parallel data Play five.

0:34:07.920 --> 0:34:11.080
<v Speaker 1>Do you think President Trump appreciated the gravity of the

0:34:11.080 --> 0:34:15.960
<v Speaker 1>health crisis you were describing. I think the President appreciated

0:34:16.000 --> 0:34:20.759
<v Speaker 1>the gravity. In March, it took a while after I

0:34:20.800 --> 0:34:24.040
<v Speaker 1>wrapped in the White House to remove all of the

0:34:24.120 --> 0:34:27.919
<v Speaker 1>answer Larry data that was coming in. I mean, there

0:34:28.000 --> 0:34:32.040
<v Speaker 1>was parallel data stream coming into the White House that

0:34:32.239 --> 0:34:37.960
<v Speaker 1>were not transparently utilized, and I needed to stop that.

0:34:38.280 --> 0:34:43.840
<v Speaker 1>Where apew mean outside advisors, outside advisors coming to inside advisors.

0:34:43.920 --> 0:34:46.720
<v Speaker 1>And to this day, I mean until the day I left,

0:34:46.760 --> 0:34:50.200
<v Speaker 1>I am I'm convinced they were parallel data streams because

0:34:50.239 --> 0:34:53.920
<v Speaker 1>I disinformation I saw the President presenting graphs that I

0:34:54.000 --> 0:34:59.600
<v Speaker 1>never made, so I know that someone or someone out

0:34:59.640 --> 0:35:04.279
<v Speaker 1>here or someone inside was creating a parallel set of

0:35:04.440 --> 0:35:08.000
<v Speaker 1>data and graphics that were shown to the president. I

0:35:08.120 --> 0:35:10.960
<v Speaker 1>know what I sent up, and I know that what

0:35:11.040 --> 0:35:14.359
<v Speaker 1>was in his hands was different from that Who name

0:35:14.480 --> 0:35:20.560
<v Speaker 1>names doctor Burkes, won't you? This is the Buck Sexton

0:35:20.600 --> 0:35:26.399
<v Speaker 1>Show podcast. Follow Buck on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. I'm

0:35:26.400 --> 0:35:29.959
<v Speaker 1>hopeful that members are going to be open minded, that

0:35:30.000 --> 0:35:32.680
<v Speaker 1>they are going to when they raise their hand and

0:35:32.760 --> 0:35:36.520
<v Speaker 1>take that oath, that they're going to view the evidence

0:35:37.160 --> 0:35:39.920
<v Speaker 1>that is presented to them, and that they're going to

0:35:39.960 --> 0:35:43.880
<v Speaker 1>do the right thing. I cannot be moved by the

0:35:43.960 --> 0:35:48.960
<v Speaker 1>mascinations of politics that are going on in the interim

0:35:49.000 --> 0:35:51.919
<v Speaker 1>while we're trying to put this together. I think that

0:35:52.040 --> 0:35:53.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, we're going to be speaking to all one

0:35:54.040 --> 0:35:56.520
<v Speaker 1>hundred centers. We're not going to be speaking to one

0:35:56.600 --> 0:35:59.839
<v Speaker 1>group or the other. And I'm hopeful that they're going

0:35:59.880 --> 0:36:04.759
<v Speaker 1>to do what's necessary to truly unify this country, and

0:36:04.840 --> 0:36:08.960
<v Speaker 1>that unification can happen until there was a reckoning for

0:36:09.120 --> 0:36:16.279
<v Speaker 1>crimes against it, unify by having one side purge the

0:36:16.360 --> 0:36:21.279
<v Speaker 1>other of its most recent president. Unify by benning the

0:36:21.320 --> 0:36:24.760
<v Speaker 1>knee and surrendering and promising that you'll be a meek

0:36:24.880 --> 0:36:29.719
<v Speaker 1>and mild and submissive Republican party going forward. That's the

0:36:30.640 --> 0:36:35.279
<v Speaker 1>pathway to unity. And as Chuck Schumer now said, a

0:36:35.400 --> 0:36:38.680
<v Speaker 1>majority leader, good God, as he says it, that's the

0:36:38.760 --> 0:36:42.040
<v Speaker 1>only way also to have accountability. Play that clip. Everyone

0:36:42.080 --> 0:36:45.440
<v Speaker 1>wants to put this awful chapter in American history behind us,

0:36:46.160 --> 0:36:48.560
<v Speaker 1>but sweeping it under the rug will not bring healing.

0:36:49.080 --> 0:36:53.200
<v Speaker 1>The only way to bring healing is to actually have

0:36:53.360 --> 0:36:58.279
<v Speaker 1>real accountability, which this trial affords. And so we will

0:36:58.360 --> 0:37:02.560
<v Speaker 1>move forward with the trial. It will be fair, but

0:37:02.680 --> 0:37:10.280
<v Speaker 1>it will move at a relatively fast pace. Unity through

0:37:10.760 --> 0:37:16.120
<v Speaker 1>your side being further humiliated. Isn't it amazing? Everybody wants

0:37:16.120 --> 0:37:18.359
<v Speaker 1>to put this in their rear view mirror, but let's

0:37:18.360 --> 0:37:21.120
<v Speaker 1>all focus on it for the next few weeks. This

0:37:21.160 --> 0:37:24.040
<v Speaker 1>is what they're telling you. Would it be like saying,

0:37:24.120 --> 0:37:27.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, I know, you've been out in the sun

0:37:27.160 --> 0:37:30.600
<v Speaker 1>too long and you're burning, but stay out for another

0:37:30.640 --> 0:37:32.880
<v Speaker 1>two hours because that's the best way to handle it.

0:37:33.160 --> 0:37:37.560
<v Speaker 1>This is insane. This is what they're telling you. They've

0:37:37.560 --> 0:37:40.399
<v Speaker 1>got to justify this somehow, and they've got a problem here,

0:37:40.400 --> 0:37:45.400
<v Speaker 1>because anybody who's looking at what's happening with a reasonable

0:37:45.400 --> 0:37:50.480
<v Speaker 1>eye would say, hold on unity. Unity for our purposes

0:37:50.520 --> 0:37:55.799
<v Speaker 1>here is going to mean doing the most divisive thing

0:37:55.800 --> 0:37:59.000
<v Speaker 1>that can possibly do at this stage, to go after

0:37:59.040 --> 0:38:01.799
<v Speaker 1>a former president. This is because they want to bar

0:38:01.960 --> 0:38:05.879
<v Speaker 1>him from office. This is not because justice demands it.

0:38:06.120 --> 0:38:08.560
<v Speaker 1>This is not because they want that Trump died. They

0:38:08.560 --> 0:38:11.920
<v Speaker 1>want Trump to be the first president in history, in

0:38:12.040 --> 0:38:17.879
<v Speaker 1>history to be convicted by a Senate trial as part

0:38:17.920 --> 0:38:20.680
<v Speaker 1>of the impeachment process and to be barred from running

0:38:20.680 --> 0:38:23.440
<v Speaker 1>for future office. That's because they want to destroy the

0:38:23.480 --> 0:38:27.839
<v Speaker 1>Trump movement right now, and they know that if they

0:38:27.880 --> 0:38:30.760
<v Speaker 1>get this against the father, than any of his children,

0:38:30.840 --> 0:38:34.439
<v Speaker 1>anyone else in the Trump world that wants to run

0:38:34.600 --> 0:38:37.040
<v Speaker 1>will have to deal with this. Now. Perhaps it'll backfire.

0:38:37.040 --> 0:38:38.920
<v Speaker 1>I know some of you would make that argument that

0:38:38.960 --> 0:38:41.960
<v Speaker 1>this would then catapult Ivanka or Don Junior or somebody

0:38:42.000 --> 0:38:44.240
<v Speaker 1>else to the front of the line for the GOP.

0:38:44.960 --> 0:38:48.879
<v Speaker 1>I'm not confident that that's the case, and I think

0:38:48.920 --> 0:38:52.400
<v Speaker 1>that there's I think that the political skills that Donald

0:38:52.400 --> 0:38:59.000
<v Speaker 1>Trump Senior has are not necessarily transferable through pure genetics

0:38:59.080 --> 0:39:01.600
<v Speaker 1>to whoever else comes along with the name Trump, but

0:39:01.840 --> 0:39:05.560
<v Speaker 1>I could be wrong on that. Well, no, I don't

0:39:05.560 --> 0:39:08.480
<v Speaker 1>think I'm wrong on that, but I'm open to seeing

0:39:08.480 --> 0:39:11.520
<v Speaker 1>how this plays out. That all said, they want to

0:39:11.560 --> 0:39:13.520
<v Speaker 1>make sure that Donald Trump can't run again because they

0:39:13.520 --> 0:39:16.120
<v Speaker 1>know he can win again. And we know that that's

0:39:16.160 --> 0:39:20.440
<v Speaker 1>a possibility too, And this is why they're doing everything

0:39:20.480 --> 0:39:24.919
<v Speaker 1>they can to tell you something that you know as

0:39:24.960 --> 0:39:28.080
<v Speaker 1>soon as it said to you is bs. You know

0:39:28.160 --> 0:39:30.480
<v Speaker 1>that what they're saying as a false narrative, but they

0:39:30.480 --> 0:39:34.399
<v Speaker 1>have no way around it. Let's all come together here

0:39:35.239 --> 0:39:40.280
<v Speaker 1>through a divisive process. Let's lower the temperature by turning

0:39:40.320 --> 0:39:49.279
<v Speaker 1>the temperature up. That's what post presidency conviction would be here.

0:39:50.280 --> 0:39:52.040
<v Speaker 1>And this is what they offer up. This is their

0:39:52.080 --> 0:39:55.400
<v Speaker 1>their promise to all of us. And it's not only

0:39:56.880 --> 0:40:01.759
<v Speaker 1>it's not only the Democrats who are saying stuff. I

0:40:01.760 --> 0:40:04.640
<v Speaker 1>mean there are different levels among the Republicans. You've got Romney,

0:40:04.640 --> 0:40:07.160
<v Speaker 1>who who's now effectively a Democrat. I mean Romney has

0:40:07.200 --> 0:40:08.840
<v Speaker 1>made his bed now we should sleep in. And Romney

0:40:08.840 --> 0:40:12.520
<v Speaker 1>as a Democrat. He's a moderate Democrat. That's what this

0:40:12.560 --> 0:40:16.920
<v Speaker 1>guy has become. Marches with BLM, turns on it. I mean,

0:40:17.080 --> 0:40:19.880
<v Speaker 1>remember he voted he would have more credibility with me

0:40:19.960 --> 0:40:22.360
<v Speaker 1>now if he had had enough sense to not vote

0:40:22.640 --> 0:40:27.360
<v Speaker 1>to impeach Trump and remove Trump the first time around

0:40:27.680 --> 0:40:31.680
<v Speaker 1>over the Ukraine phone call, which was absurd. That was

0:40:31.760 --> 0:40:37.080
<v Speaker 1>just the whole problem. It was entirely bonkers, unserious stuff.

0:40:37.480 --> 0:40:40.560
<v Speaker 1>But that is what Romney went for. Here he is

0:40:40.600 --> 0:40:43.399
<v Speaker 1>telling us again, he's parroting the Chuck Schumer lines. It's

0:40:43.400 --> 0:40:47.880
<v Speaker 1>like Chuck Schumer's handing him the script, Romney saying that

0:40:47.960 --> 0:40:50.680
<v Speaker 1>the way to bring us all together is to spit

0:40:50.719 --> 0:40:53.960
<v Speaker 1>in the face of seventy five million Trump voters. Yeah,

0:40:54.000 --> 0:40:57.400
<v Speaker 1>play eleven. Well, we're certainly going to have a trial.

0:40:58.480 --> 0:41:02.080
<v Speaker 1>I wish that weren't necessary. The president's conduct with regards

0:41:02.120 --> 0:41:05.040
<v Speaker 1>to the call the Secretary of State Raffensburger in Georgia,

0:41:05.360 --> 0:41:09.120
<v Speaker 1>as well as the incitation towards the insurrection that led

0:41:09.160 --> 0:41:12.080
<v Speaker 1>to the attack on the Capitol calls for a trial.

0:41:12.160 --> 0:41:14.880
<v Speaker 1>And you know, if we're going to have a unity

0:41:14.880 --> 0:41:16.960
<v Speaker 1>in our country, I think it's important to recognize the

0:41:17.080 --> 0:41:21.319
<v Speaker 1>need for accountability, for truth and justice. So I think

0:41:21.320 --> 0:41:23.200
<v Speaker 1>there will be a trial, and I hope it goes

0:41:23.239 --> 0:41:25.400
<v Speaker 1>as quickly as possible, But that's up to the Council

0:41:25.719 --> 0:41:31.120
<v Speaker 1>on both sides. Yeah, there will be a trial. Unity, accountability.

0:41:31.160 --> 0:41:34.920
<v Speaker 1>These are the words you're going to hear. What about

0:41:34.960 --> 0:41:37.600
<v Speaker 1>the old president that we have of You don't go

0:41:37.640 --> 0:41:41.960
<v Speaker 1>back and look for prosecutions of the former administration. Donald

0:41:42.000 --> 0:41:45.600
<v Speaker 1>Trump could could have pushed for and his doj could

0:41:45.600 --> 0:41:49.800
<v Speaker 1>have gotten a criminal trial brought against Hillary Clinton for example,

0:41:50.000 --> 0:41:52.080
<v Speaker 1>and I know locker up chat and everything. Some people

0:41:52.120 --> 0:41:55.799
<v Speaker 1>wanted that, but they didn't do it. Maybe disappointed a

0:41:55.800 --> 0:41:57.560
<v Speaker 1>lot of Trump voters, but they didn't do it. Why

0:41:58.160 --> 0:42:01.960
<v Speaker 1>because it sets a terrible precedent for politics in this

0:42:02.040 --> 0:42:07.560
<v Speaker 1>country to even have the even have the perception, the

0:42:07.600 --> 0:42:10.600
<v Speaker 1>belief to be out there that that one side is

0:42:10.840 --> 0:42:16.440
<v Speaker 1>weaponizing the prosecutorial apparatus against the other for political reasons.

0:42:17.239 --> 0:42:21.840
<v Speaker 1>This completely devolves a democracy. This destroys a republic. This

0:42:21.960 --> 0:42:26.480
<v Speaker 1>ruins everything because it means that you establish a winner

0:42:26.560 --> 0:42:32.840
<v Speaker 1>takeoff philosophy in politics that then becomes corrosive of everything.

0:42:33.520 --> 0:42:36.319
<v Speaker 1>It's not a temporary, peaceful transfer of power based upon

0:42:36.320 --> 0:42:38.440
<v Speaker 1>the will of the people. It's how do we make

0:42:38.480 --> 0:42:41.680
<v Speaker 1>sure we stay in charge because otherwise the other side

0:42:41.760 --> 0:42:45.400
<v Speaker 1>is going to throw us into prison. Once that becomes

0:42:45.440 --> 0:42:48.960
<v Speaker 1>the mentality It's no longer about our sacred democracy and

0:42:49.000 --> 0:42:51.680
<v Speaker 1>who's count you know, who's who's getting to vote and

0:42:51.760 --> 0:42:53.600
<v Speaker 1>have a say in their future. It's this is just

0:42:53.640 --> 0:42:58.719
<v Speaker 1>winner take all, bare knuckle power struggle. And that's why

0:42:58.760 --> 0:43:00.560
<v Speaker 1>we haven't done that in the past. That's why there's

0:43:00.760 --> 0:43:02.719
<v Speaker 1>you know, you even you even look at the approach

0:43:02.760 --> 0:43:08.919
<v Speaker 1>taken in in situations where there have been, uh, there

0:43:08.960 --> 0:43:13.040
<v Speaker 1>has been misconduct by politicians where you know they were

0:43:13.040 --> 0:43:14.680
<v Speaker 1>the president, and you look at Nixon, I mean the

0:43:14.719 --> 0:43:19.480
<v Speaker 1>pardon of Nixon by Ford, Nixon, Reagan, Ford and Johnson,

0:43:20.040 --> 0:43:22.239
<v Speaker 1>you know, gurgling with Gurgan. I kind of missed that guy.

0:43:22.880 --> 0:43:24.520
<v Speaker 1>But you look at all the things that go on

0:43:25.160 --> 0:43:27.840
<v Speaker 1>and you say to yourself, there's a there's a bigger

0:43:27.880 --> 0:43:29.719
<v Speaker 1>picture here that we have to keep in mind. There

0:43:29.960 --> 0:43:34.440
<v Speaker 1>are broader themes and issues at work, and that's what

0:43:34.680 --> 0:43:38.840
<v Speaker 1>is being completely cast aside now, and very conveniently, I

0:43:38.840 --> 0:43:44.880
<v Speaker 1>would add, by Democrats just pushed aside. They don't care.

0:43:45.920 --> 0:43:49.200
<v Speaker 1>They simply don't care. They think they have more important

0:43:49.840 --> 0:43:54.799
<v Speaker 1>things to do, like destroying this president. Marco Rubio takes

0:43:54.800 --> 0:43:57.560
<v Speaker 1>a kind of middle pathway here, and there's already new

0:43:57.640 --> 0:43:59.520
<v Speaker 1>stories out about how Ivanka is going to run for

0:43:59.560 --> 0:44:04.760
<v Speaker 1>his seat, so you know, he's he's trying to hold

0:44:04.760 --> 0:44:07.120
<v Speaker 1>on in Florida. He's looking for his place in the

0:44:07.440 --> 0:44:09.920
<v Speaker 1>future of the party. Margot plays his cards right. He

0:44:09.960 --> 0:44:12.799
<v Speaker 1>could be a name that really carries some sway among

0:44:12.840 --> 0:44:15.120
<v Speaker 1>Republicans in the future. You don't know, you know, he

0:44:15.160 --> 0:44:18.920
<v Speaker 1>could have a second act here. But even he sees

0:44:18.960 --> 0:44:22.439
<v Speaker 1>that while it might be in his immediate interests to

0:44:22.440 --> 0:44:25.480
<v Speaker 1>turn on the Trump dynasty because of the challenge that

0:44:25.520 --> 0:44:29.600
<v Speaker 1>Ivanka would bring to him in Florida, even with that

0:44:29.719 --> 0:44:34.399
<v Speaker 1>going on, he understands that this impeachment is just a

0:44:34.520 --> 0:44:39.120
<v Speaker 1>terrible idea. Play fourteen. I think the president bears responsibility

0:44:39.120 --> 0:44:41.680
<v Speaker 1>for some of what had happened. It was most certainly

0:44:41.680 --> 0:44:45.200
<v Speaker 1>a foreseeable consequence of everything that was going on, and

0:44:45.760 --> 0:44:48.640
<v Speaker 1>I think that's widely understood. It maybe even better understood

0:44:48.640 --> 0:44:51.120
<v Speaker 1>with the perspective of time. I think that's separate from

0:44:51.120 --> 0:44:53.360
<v Speaker 1>the notion of let's revisit this all and stir it

0:44:53.440 --> 0:44:56.120
<v Speaker 1>up again. It's not. You know, the stories are still

0:44:56.120 --> 0:44:58.680
<v Speaker 1>going to be written, and there's criminal justice, investigations are

0:44:58.680 --> 0:45:00.640
<v Speaker 1>going to continue to move forward. All these things are

0:45:00.680 --> 0:45:02.799
<v Speaker 1>still going to happen. All I'm arguing is we have

0:45:02.840 --> 0:45:04.680
<v Speaker 1>some really important things to work on. You want to

0:45:04.800 --> 0:45:07.040
<v Speaker 1>really kind of bring the country together and remember once

0:45:07.080 --> 0:45:09.600
<v Speaker 1>again how we can get things done. It isn't by

0:45:09.719 --> 0:45:12.520
<v Speaker 1>uniformity on all the issues. It's about working through a

0:45:12.560 --> 0:45:14.880
<v Speaker 1>process that allows people with different points of view to

0:45:14.960 --> 0:45:17.280
<v Speaker 1>debate all that and get to a solution for the country.

0:45:17.440 --> 0:45:19.640
<v Speaker 1>All that we're just gonna go. We're gonna jump right

0:45:19.680 --> 0:45:21.719
<v Speaker 1>back into what we've been going through the last five

0:45:21.800 --> 0:45:24.200
<v Speaker 1>years and stirring it up again with the trial, and

0:45:24.200 --> 0:45:25.839
<v Speaker 1>it's just going to be bad for the country. It

0:45:25.840 --> 0:45:29.600
<v Speaker 1>really is. It absolutely is, and anybody who anybody who's

0:45:29.600 --> 0:45:32.719
<v Speaker 1>being honest can see that. But for Democrats, this isn't

0:45:32.760 --> 0:45:36.280
<v Speaker 1>about what's best for the country. We know that they're

0:45:36.360 --> 0:45:40.200
<v Speaker 1>bitter still about Trump. The media is by and large

0:45:40.320 --> 0:45:43.040
<v Speaker 1>angry still because of what Donald Trump said about them,

0:45:43.120 --> 0:45:45.320
<v Speaker 1>did to them, the way he used his Twitter account

0:45:45.320 --> 0:45:49.360
<v Speaker 1>to slap them down. They haven't forgotten that they want payback.

0:45:50.360 --> 0:45:54.440
<v Speaker 1>This is all about payback now for a lot of Democrats.

0:45:54.440 --> 0:45:58.480
<v Speaker 1>For others is also payback plus control of the future

0:45:58.480 --> 0:46:01.360
<v Speaker 1>and making sure that Donald Trump is unable to run

0:46:01.960 --> 0:46:06.040
<v Speaker 1>for office ever again and think about the stain that

0:46:06.040 --> 0:46:08.080
<v Speaker 1>would leave on the Republican Party too. We'd be the

0:46:08.120 --> 0:46:10.600
<v Speaker 1>only party that has a president, given everything we've seen

0:46:11.400 --> 0:46:13.840
<v Speaker 1>in the two hundred plus year history of this country,

0:46:13.880 --> 0:46:16.960
<v Speaker 1>would be the only political party to have a president

0:46:17.200 --> 0:46:19.800
<v Speaker 1>who not only is impeached after leaving office, but is

0:46:19.840 --> 0:46:22.640
<v Speaker 1>impeached and loses in a Senate trial. By the way,

0:46:22.719 --> 0:46:26.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't think that he will lose in this Senate trial,

0:46:27.840 --> 0:46:32.000
<v Speaker 1>but in the attempt, then all they get is further division.

0:46:32.040 --> 0:46:34.840
<v Speaker 1>I think that the Republicans know that if Mitch McConnell

0:46:34.880 --> 0:46:37.720
<v Speaker 1>knows this, if they go for it and they fail,

0:46:39.080 --> 0:46:41.640
<v Speaker 1>come at the King, you best not miss and the

0:46:41.640 --> 0:46:45.800
<v Speaker 1>Trumpster does not forget You're in the freedom hunt. Thanks

0:46:45.800 --> 0:46:48.759
<v Speaker 1>for listening to The Buck Sexton Show podcast. Get the

0:46:48.840 --> 0:46:53.520
<v Speaker 1>latest from Buck at buck Sexton dot com. I don't

0:46:53.600 --> 0:46:56.799
<v Speaker 1>there's any question that what the whole country needs to

0:46:57.320 --> 0:46:59.759
<v Speaker 1>needs to focus on in terms of our elections is

0:47:00.000 --> 0:47:03.760
<v Speaker 1>making sure that we have some effective electoral reform. Nobody

0:47:03.800 --> 0:47:06.360
<v Speaker 1>wants to wait a week or two weeks or three weeks,

0:47:07.000 --> 0:47:09.359
<v Speaker 1>which happened to some of the House races to get

0:47:09.400 --> 0:47:11.319
<v Speaker 1>election results. We need to work on that and make

0:47:11.320 --> 0:47:15.560
<v Speaker 1>the system better for twenty twenty two. But this election

0:47:16.120 --> 0:47:20.280
<v Speaker 1>was not stolen. All of the facts point in that direction.

0:47:20.840 --> 0:47:24.160
<v Speaker 1>And I'm a former prosecutor, George. I make decisions based

0:47:24.200 --> 0:47:29.200
<v Speaker 1>upon evidence, not based upon feelings or partisanship or loyalty.

0:47:29.640 --> 0:47:32.960
<v Speaker 1>You make those decisions based upon evidence, and the evidence

0:47:33.040 --> 0:47:36.279
<v Speaker 1>here has shown right from the beginning that while every

0:47:36.280 --> 0:47:39.000
<v Speaker 1>election has some irregularities, and I'm sure this one did too,

0:47:39.320 --> 0:47:42.200
<v Speaker 1>there were no type of irregularities that would have changed

0:47:42.239 --> 0:47:45.279
<v Speaker 1>the result in any one state, let alone the four

0:47:45.400 --> 0:47:47.799
<v Speaker 1>states that would need to have been changed for the

0:47:47.880 --> 0:47:50.200
<v Speaker 1>result of the election have been changed. And folks in

0:47:50.280 --> 0:47:52.520
<v Speaker 1>my party who are doing that, quite frankly, are just

0:47:52.640 --> 0:47:55.560
<v Speaker 1>trying to make political points with those people who the

0:47:55.640 --> 0:47:59.160
<v Speaker 1>President and others lied to about this over the course

0:47:59.160 --> 0:48:01.880
<v Speaker 1>of the ten weeks to the election, and it's shameful

0:48:01.920 --> 0:48:04.560
<v Speaker 1>that they're doing it now. Chris Christie is one of

0:48:04.600 --> 0:48:08.319
<v Speaker 1>those guys who I think wants to establish control over

0:48:08.360 --> 0:48:10.480
<v Speaker 1>the GOP as well. I think I think he's going

0:48:10.520 --> 0:48:13.160
<v Speaker 1>to run. I think he sees himself as a national

0:48:13.239 --> 0:48:15.000
<v Speaker 1>level figure. I think he sees himself as a kind

0:48:15.000 --> 0:48:17.200
<v Speaker 1>of anti Trump, and he also has a personal animus

0:48:17.280 --> 0:48:21.840
<v Speaker 1>here because based on everything that has been both reported

0:48:21.840 --> 0:48:23.520
<v Speaker 1>on this and that I've even heard from people in

0:48:23.520 --> 0:48:26.560
<v Speaker 1>and around the White House. Chris Christie was going to

0:48:26.640 --> 0:48:30.839
<v Speaker 1>be an important member of the Trump administration. But then

0:48:30.920 --> 0:48:34.319
<v Speaker 1>Jared Kushner. Remember that it was Christie that prosecuted his dad.

0:48:34.719 --> 0:48:36.600
<v Speaker 1>And I'm gonna tell you, you know, even if my

0:48:36.719 --> 0:48:40.160
<v Speaker 1>dad had had broken the law, fire in a position

0:48:40.200 --> 0:48:41.560
<v Speaker 1>to feel like I was going to get even be

0:48:41.640 --> 0:48:45.880
<v Speaker 1>very it would take a very ethical, very honorable person

0:48:45.960 --> 0:48:49.720
<v Speaker 1>to say that they would let bygones be bygones and

0:48:50.000 --> 0:48:53.799
<v Speaker 1>work closely with somebody who would put their father in prison. Right,

0:48:54.000 --> 0:48:57.840
<v Speaker 1>a very ethical person. I you know, I'm very loyal

0:48:57.840 --> 0:48:59.959
<v Speaker 1>to my family, so I can understand how that would

0:49:00.120 --> 0:49:05.400
<v Speaker 1>be an issue. But Chris Christie, clearly, Chris Christie clearly

0:49:06.560 --> 0:49:09.960
<v Speaker 1>didn't forget about this, that Jared Kushner essentially pushed him

0:49:09.960 --> 0:49:12.920
<v Speaker 1>out of the White House when Trump won, And so

0:49:13.000 --> 0:49:15.560
<v Speaker 1>now he thinks that there's a vulnerability. Now there's this

0:49:15.600 --> 0:49:19.399
<v Speaker 1>opportunity for a kind of payback, and I think that's

0:49:19.440 --> 0:49:22.279
<v Speaker 1>what Chris Christie's angling for. But a couple of things

0:49:22.320 --> 0:49:25.359
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to note here. One is that the whole

0:49:25.400 --> 0:49:29.960
<v Speaker 1>notion of proportionality in an election. We're supposed to be

0:49:30.080 --> 0:49:32.799
<v Speaker 1>the honest and good people who will say, yes there

0:49:32.800 --> 0:49:37.520
<v Speaker 1>were irregularities, Yes there were irregularities, but it wasn't enough

0:49:37.560 --> 0:49:40.840
<v Speaker 1>to overturn the election. So far, based on the evidence

0:49:41.280 --> 0:49:44.440
<v Speaker 1>that we have that has been provided in court, that

0:49:44.440 --> 0:49:46.719
<v Speaker 1>has been tested in court, which is very little, I know,

0:49:47.360 --> 0:49:51.520
<v Speaker 1>because of all of the standing issues with the courts,

0:49:52.200 --> 0:49:54.560
<v Speaker 1>but based on what has been presented in a court

0:49:54.640 --> 0:49:58.319
<v Speaker 1>so far, that what Christie is saying is true and

0:49:58.360 --> 0:50:01.680
<v Speaker 1>we need to understand that what he is saying it's true. However,

0:50:02.640 --> 0:50:08.560
<v Speaker 1>two things. One, the Democrats never did that with Russia collusion. Right,

0:50:08.600 --> 0:50:12.080
<v Speaker 1>they pretended that, oh, one hundred thousand dollars of Facebook ads.

0:50:12.239 --> 0:50:14.120
<v Speaker 1>I know people who are spending believe it or not,

0:50:14.160 --> 0:50:15.840
<v Speaker 1>this is true, one hundred thousand dollars a month to

0:50:15.880 --> 0:50:19.400
<v Speaker 1>push their podcast via Facebook. You know a lot of

0:50:19.400 --> 0:50:22.760
<v Speaker 1>these people that have these big podcasts, huge money going

0:50:22.800 --> 0:50:25.600
<v Speaker 1>into the advertising online of their podcast, so they can

0:50:25.600 --> 0:50:27.560
<v Speaker 1>have these high numbers even though they have them. You know,

0:50:27.560 --> 0:50:30.360
<v Speaker 1>their audiences, it's mostly based on people clicking and listening

0:50:30.360 --> 0:50:33.400
<v Speaker 1>for thirty seconds or a minute and then that's considered audience.

0:50:33.400 --> 0:50:34.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean I've got people listen to this show. They

0:50:35.040 --> 0:50:37.840
<v Speaker 1>listen to all three hours of the show. You know,

0:50:37.880 --> 0:50:40.000
<v Speaker 1>if you listen on podcasts only, it's almost two hours.

0:50:40.000 --> 0:50:42.680
<v Speaker 1>People listen the whole thing. So thank you for that.

0:50:43.280 --> 0:50:45.200
<v Speaker 1>But there's this whole game that's being played now. Because

0:50:45.200 --> 0:50:47.799
<v Speaker 1>you get more advertisers, more downloads, you spend more money

0:50:47.840 --> 0:50:50.600
<v Speaker 1>to push the podcast online anyway, But just to give

0:50:50.600 --> 0:50:53.040
<v Speaker 1>you a sense of scale, one hundred thousand dollars on

0:50:53.040 --> 0:50:57.640
<v Speaker 1>Facebook is nothing. That's nothing for a presidential election. As

0:50:57.640 --> 0:50:59.840
<v Speaker 1>I've said all along, it would be like pouring a bucket.

0:51:00.239 --> 0:51:03.719
<v Speaker 1>You'd be like pouring a cup of hot tea into

0:51:03.760 --> 0:51:06.640
<v Speaker 1>the ocean and saying I've just affected the temperature of

0:51:06.640 --> 0:51:09.440
<v Speaker 1>the ocean. I mean, in a sense you could make

0:51:09.440 --> 0:51:12.360
<v Speaker 1>that argument, but not really, not in a measurable way.

0:51:14.440 --> 0:51:17.000
<v Speaker 1>But so we have to be honest and fair minded

0:51:17.040 --> 0:51:20.560
<v Speaker 1>about that. They don't. And that's a very that's a

0:51:20.640 --> 0:51:25.319
<v Speaker 1>very fundamental difference in the approach here. Right, We're going

0:51:25.400 --> 0:51:27.920
<v Speaker 1>to move past this based on where the based on

0:51:27.920 --> 0:51:29.759
<v Speaker 1>the evidence that we have that we could present in court.

0:51:29.960 --> 0:51:33.600
<v Speaker 1>Democrats never did that. So don't feel at all like

0:51:33.719 --> 0:51:38.040
<v Speaker 1>you should be lectured by Democrats who have newly discovered

0:51:38.080 --> 0:51:40.800
<v Speaker 1>principles when it comes to the rules of evidence and

0:51:41.400 --> 0:51:47.080
<v Speaker 1>legal procedure and election integrity and security. Democrats don't want

0:51:47.120 --> 0:51:51.480
<v Speaker 1>election integrity. They don't want it at every action. I'm

0:51:51.520 --> 0:51:53.320
<v Speaker 1>not just talking to this election. I'm saying in general,

0:51:53.680 --> 0:51:57.800
<v Speaker 1>every action they take, whether it's voter ID purging the

0:51:57.880 --> 0:52:00.000
<v Speaker 1>voter roles of people that don't live in the state anymore,

0:52:00.239 --> 0:52:04.160
<v Speaker 1>every action they take is intended to allow a greater

0:52:04.280 --> 0:52:07.200
<v Speaker 1>number of illegitimate ballots. Because Democrats, with their you know,

0:52:07.239 --> 0:52:11.600
<v Speaker 1>with their community organizers and activists and everything, believe that

0:52:11.640 --> 0:52:16.080
<v Speaker 1>they will always that a more lax voting system will

0:52:16.120 --> 0:52:19.960
<v Speaker 1>benefit them, that a greater number of the more the

0:52:20.280 --> 0:52:25.360
<v Speaker 1>irregularities that exist, the better chance they are of the

0:52:25.400 --> 0:52:28.920
<v Speaker 1>better chance they have of winning. That is the Democrat

0:52:29.040 --> 0:52:33.560
<v Speaker 1>viewpoint on this. And Chris Christie is very dismissive about this,

0:52:33.680 --> 0:52:36.719
<v Speaker 1>is very quick to say, oh, you know Trump, Yeah,

0:52:36.760 --> 0:52:38.919
<v Speaker 1>Trump went too far that I tell you that other

0:52:38.960 --> 0:52:41.239
<v Speaker 1>people don't. And they're just trying to drive up their

0:52:41.280 --> 0:52:43.520
<v Speaker 1>audience and drive up their numbers right now because they have,

0:52:43.680 --> 0:52:45.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, they have no integrity. So they'll still say that,

0:52:45.719 --> 0:52:47.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, Trump didn't you know he was true, and

0:52:47.400 --> 0:52:50.080
<v Speaker 1>everything he said was right. It's not true. Trump went

0:52:50.080 --> 0:52:52.680
<v Speaker 1>too far. He said things that he could not prove,

0:52:52.880 --> 0:52:54.920
<v Speaker 1>that he did not have the evidence for, and he

0:52:55.000 --> 0:52:57.120
<v Speaker 1>might have cost us the Senate in Georgia as well

0:52:57.160 --> 0:52:59.200
<v Speaker 1>with all these shenanigans. I think that's also a fair

0:52:59.280 --> 0:53:02.320
<v Speaker 1>argument to make. It's just the truth, friends. It's the

0:53:02.560 --> 0:53:04.720
<v Speaker 1>same way that we're now dealing with. Okay, what are Trump?

0:53:04.920 --> 0:53:11.440
<v Speaker 1>What were the real accomplishments? Supreme Court? Yes, judges, yes, regulations, taxes,

0:53:12.400 --> 0:53:15.680
<v Speaker 1>let's say goodbye to those. Those are gone already. Right,

0:53:16.520 --> 0:53:23.080
<v Speaker 1>So they were stylistic and rhetorical advantages. But we need

0:53:23.080 --> 0:53:25.680
<v Speaker 1>to be very clear eyed. We need to be very

0:53:25.760 --> 0:53:28.240
<v Speaker 1>honest about what has gone on here with the last

0:53:28.280 --> 0:53:30.640
<v Speaker 1>election and what's going to go on to the next election.

0:53:42.000 --> 0:53:45.200
<v Speaker 1>What's going on inside the Beltway with all this political

0:53:45.239 --> 0:53:48.440
<v Speaker 1>back and forth? We got our man in DC joining

0:53:48.520 --> 0:53:52.960
<v Speaker 1>us now, Harlan Hill. He is the principal at Logan

0:53:53.160 --> 0:53:57.720
<v Speaker 1>Circle Logan Circle Group. He's a political consultant and somebody

0:53:57.760 --> 0:53:59.680
<v Speaker 1>who knows what's going on in that town and how

0:53:59.680 --> 0:54:01.960
<v Speaker 1>it to the rest of the country. Harl And great

0:54:02.000 --> 0:54:07.720
<v Speaker 1>to have you back. What's what's the feel like these days? Uh,

0:54:07.920 --> 0:54:13.160
<v Speaker 1>within within GOP circles about the continuation of a National

0:54:13.200 --> 0:54:16.839
<v Speaker 1>Guard deployment to coincide with what's happening now with this

0:54:16.960 --> 0:54:19.600
<v Speaker 1>impeachment farce. Yeah, I mean I could tell you I

0:54:19.680 --> 0:54:23.279
<v Speaker 1>just got back into Washington yesterday and there's still a

0:54:23.320 --> 0:54:26.080
<v Speaker 1>presence on the streets here. I mean, it's really unprecedented.

0:54:26.120 --> 0:54:29.960
<v Speaker 1>And the transfer of power which went off. You know,

0:54:30.320 --> 0:54:33.080
<v Speaker 1>obviously we have that insurrection at the capital, the so

0:54:33.160 --> 0:54:36.040
<v Speaker 1>called insurrection of the capital. But yeah, there's a bunch

0:54:36.000 --> 0:54:39.960
<v Speaker 1>of Abuba's acting stupid and breaking the law. The response

0:54:39.960 --> 0:54:44.080
<v Speaker 1>to that since then has been draconian. You know, putting

0:54:44.080 --> 0:54:48.960
<v Speaker 1>that the nation's capital under total military occupation is uh

0:54:49.280 --> 0:54:52.200
<v Speaker 1>the wrong message to send, not just to Americans but

0:54:52.719 --> 0:54:55.320
<v Speaker 1>to the world. Um, you know, we look like fools.

0:54:55.719 --> 0:54:57.239
<v Speaker 1>Well tell us what what are some of the things

0:54:57.239 --> 0:54:59.520
<v Speaker 1>you've had to deal with. I mean, there's there's like

0:54:59.560 --> 0:55:01.640
<v Speaker 1>a zone own right, I mean, they and you have

0:55:01.719 --> 0:55:06.040
<v Speaker 1>to present special documents to prove your residence. I mean,

0:55:06.280 --> 0:55:08.879
<v Speaker 1>for people that don't live in DC. This it's been

0:55:08.920 --> 0:55:11.120
<v Speaker 1>really weird for folks like you, right, I mean, the

0:55:11.760 --> 0:55:15.759
<v Speaker 1>new Schumer Pelosi Biden regime here is saying, you know,

0:55:15.880 --> 0:55:21.080
<v Speaker 1>papers please. Absolutely, they've they've curved a little bit of

0:55:21.080 --> 0:55:25.520
<v Speaker 1>that now, but for well over a week up until

0:55:25.560 --> 0:55:29.520
<v Speaker 1>just about a day ago. In order to access your

0:55:29.719 --> 0:55:32.920
<v Speaker 1>your place of business or your home if it was

0:55:32.960 --> 0:55:35.600
<v Speaker 1>in a side of what they called the green zone,

0:55:35.680 --> 0:55:40.360
<v Speaker 1>borrowing that term from Baghdad, you know, which is that

0:55:40.400 --> 0:55:42.120
<v Speaker 1>was the official term they used, by the way, to

0:55:42.160 --> 0:55:46.439
<v Speaker 1>describe the security zone in downtown Washington, DC, you had

0:55:46.480 --> 0:55:49.799
<v Speaker 1>to present either a copy of your lease with your

0:55:49.880 --> 0:55:52.880
<v Speaker 1>name on it or your mortgage. If you had a

0:55:52.880 --> 0:55:55.439
<v Speaker 1>car that was parked in a parking garage in downtown DC,

0:55:55.640 --> 0:55:58.000
<v Speaker 1>you were not able to get it out. You were stuck.

0:55:58.520 --> 0:56:00.719
<v Speaker 1>There was no trash pick up, there was no mail

0:56:00.760 --> 0:56:04.080
<v Speaker 1>deliver I mean, it's just crazy. This is the nation's capital.

0:56:05.000 --> 0:56:08.000
<v Speaker 1>This is the nation's capital, and uh, you know it,

0:56:08.160 --> 0:56:11.440
<v Speaker 1>it's a full bone military occupation. I mean if if

0:56:11.480 --> 0:56:14.680
<v Speaker 1>if a Republican administration had done this, I cannot I

0:56:14.760 --> 0:56:20.279
<v Speaker 1>cannot imagine the militarmatic outrage that would have transpired on

0:56:20.440 --> 0:56:23.839
<v Speaker 1>on on CNN and MSNBC, right, we'd still be talking

0:56:23.880 --> 0:56:26.279
<v Speaker 1>about it. What do you make, Harlotte of the the

0:56:26.280 --> 0:56:31.759
<v Speaker 1>the very consistent now uh talking point from Democrats and

0:56:32.000 --> 0:56:35.880
<v Speaker 1>some Republicans out there. But you have people like um,

0:56:36.600 --> 0:56:40.680
<v Speaker 1>you have people out there like uh, Chuck Schumer and

0:56:40.960 --> 0:56:45.359
<v Speaker 1>even Mitt Romney saying that unity will be achieved through

0:56:45.400 --> 0:56:51.239
<v Speaker 1>this highly divisive process of impeaching a former president. Yeah,

0:56:51.360 --> 0:56:54.160
<v Speaker 1>and and and now I'll add to that, you have

0:56:54.880 --> 0:56:59.359
<v Speaker 1>sitting Republican US senators who are announcing that they are

0:56:59.400 --> 0:57:02.280
<v Speaker 1>not sure how they're going to vote in an impeachment

0:57:02.320 --> 0:57:06.120
<v Speaker 1>trial in the US Senate, but they know that they're

0:57:06.120 --> 0:57:08.320
<v Speaker 1>not running for re election in twenty twenty two. This

0:57:08.440 --> 0:57:11.720
<v Speaker 1>just came out of Ohio with Rob Portman, Republican senator

0:57:11.760 --> 0:57:14.920
<v Speaker 1>from Ohio. He literally said that, he says, I'm not

0:57:14.960 --> 0:57:17.040
<v Speaker 1>sure how I'm gonna vote. I'm gonna see, I'm gonna see,

0:57:17.040 --> 0:57:20.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna wait to see how the cases presented, but

0:57:20.160 --> 0:57:21.760
<v Speaker 1>i know that I'm not going to vote. I'm not

0:57:21.760 --> 0:57:23.480
<v Speaker 1>going to stand for re election in twenty two. So

0:57:23.640 --> 0:57:25.760
<v Speaker 1>that tells me everything I need to know. He's going

0:57:25.800 --> 0:57:29.120
<v Speaker 1>to vote to impeach President Trump. So really the problem,

0:57:29.240 --> 0:57:34.720
<v Speaker 1>this divisiveness and the lack of willing its to turn

0:57:34.760 --> 0:57:36.640
<v Speaker 1>the page on this and to start healing as a

0:57:36.760 --> 0:57:41.600
<v Speaker 1>nation and as a party, really originates within the Republican Party.

0:57:42.040 --> 0:57:45.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean, there wouldn't even be a credible discussion about

0:57:45.920 --> 0:57:48.640
<v Speaker 1>whether the president could be the formal president could be

0:57:48.640 --> 0:57:54.040
<v Speaker 1>convicted if it wasn't for Mitch McConnell, Meant Romney, all

0:57:54.040 --> 0:57:57.880
<v Speaker 1>these other establishment Republicans standing up and saying that they're

0:57:58.080 --> 0:58:01.680
<v Speaker 1>considering supporting it. Talking to Harland Hill, he's a principle

0:58:01.880 --> 0:58:08.000
<v Speaker 1>at Logan Circle Group, a political consultancy advisory down in DC. Harlan,

0:58:08.080 --> 0:58:10.280
<v Speaker 1>do you do you think they're going to have You know,

0:58:10.320 --> 0:58:12.240
<v Speaker 1>you're in contact with Hill folks. You know what's going

0:58:12.280 --> 0:58:14.160
<v Speaker 1>on down there. Do you think they're gonna have the

0:58:14.720 --> 0:58:17.960
<v Speaker 1>what is it, seventeen Republican votes they would need for conviction?

0:58:19.520 --> 0:58:24.000
<v Speaker 1>You know, I don't think so. I know that. I mean,

0:58:24.240 --> 0:58:27.560
<v Speaker 1>there's there's a considerable portion of the Republican caucus in

0:58:27.600 --> 0:58:31.520
<v Speaker 1>the Senate that I think um would support it. Now,

0:58:31.600 --> 0:58:33.920
<v Speaker 1>whether or not they end up coming out and supporting

0:58:33.920 --> 0:58:37.000
<v Speaker 1>it in the end will entirely depend on whether they

0:58:37.040 --> 0:58:39.400
<v Speaker 1>hit that number right. So, it's either going to be

0:58:39.520 --> 0:58:41.480
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people stay silent. Maybe a few people

0:58:41.520 --> 0:58:44.360
<v Speaker 1>like Admit Romney take a take take a vote out

0:58:44.360 --> 0:58:47.600
<v Speaker 1>of you know what they call their conscience. UM. But

0:58:48.080 --> 0:58:49.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, I don't think we're going to see them

0:58:49.720 --> 0:58:52.880
<v Speaker 1>come up, you know, four or five votes short. Either

0:58:52.880 --> 0:58:54.520
<v Speaker 1>they're going to hit the number or they're going to

0:58:54.600 --> 0:58:59.360
<v Speaker 1>be well short of it. Um And uh I from

0:58:59.360 --> 0:59:01.760
<v Speaker 1>what I'm here, they don't have it right now. They

0:59:01.840 --> 0:59:04.400
<v Speaker 1>don't have it. And I think that that's why it's

0:59:04.440 --> 0:59:10.439
<v Speaker 1>important that president former President Trump um stays away from

0:59:10.480 --> 0:59:13.600
<v Speaker 1>this notion of creating a new party. That's a really

0:59:13.600 --> 0:59:15.920
<v Speaker 1>hard thing to do. I mean, and let's talk about this.

0:59:15.960 --> 0:59:18.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean, there's been some reporting about a about a

0:59:18.640 --> 0:59:22.120
<v Speaker 1>positive thing that the Patriot Party a third party. Where

0:59:22.120 --> 0:59:25.600
<v Speaker 1>does that stand? And what are we hearing about that? Yeah,

0:59:25.840 --> 0:59:28.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm hearing that the former president Trump is back off

0:59:28.840 --> 0:59:31.920
<v Speaker 1>on that idea. I'm a pretty well placed actually the

0:59:32.080 --> 0:59:35.840
<v Speaker 1>source on that the Trump has backed up on that idea,

0:59:36.120 --> 0:59:38.920
<v Speaker 1>that he understands that he has to transform the party

0:59:39.280 --> 0:59:43.560
<v Speaker 1>from within, and that he can do that by continuing

0:59:43.600 --> 0:59:47.600
<v Speaker 1>to be a fundraising machine. UM. To build that a

0:59:47.600 --> 0:59:53.000
<v Speaker 1>political apparatus that can support UM loyal candidates to primary

0:59:53.080 --> 0:59:57.240
<v Speaker 1>Republicans that are not favorable to President Trump's agenda. UM

0:59:57.480 --> 1:00:00.240
<v Speaker 1>and and apparently that is the strategy that they're going take.

1:00:00.320 --> 1:00:04.720
<v Speaker 1>Looking forward, and you saw today Sarah Hackby Sanders. Now

1:00:04.720 --> 1:00:07.120
<v Speaker 1>since she's running for governor Knox, Arkansas. You know, so

1:00:07.160 --> 1:00:09.440
<v Speaker 1>you're starting to see some loyalists that are credible, not

1:00:09.520 --> 1:00:12.400
<v Speaker 1>some like fringe wackos. But Sarah could be. Sanders is

1:00:12.440 --> 1:00:14.480
<v Speaker 1>a credible person, you know, she really is. She comes

1:00:14.480 --> 1:00:17.280
<v Speaker 1>from a great political family, She's a nice person. She

1:00:17.400 --> 1:00:20.440
<v Speaker 1>was an effective a soldier for for President Trump at

1:00:20.440 --> 1:00:23.880
<v Speaker 1>the White House. Um and, uh, you know, she's the

1:00:23.880 --> 1:00:26.320
<v Speaker 1>first one. But from what I know, I can't go

1:00:26.360 --> 1:00:29.680
<v Speaker 1>into it on air, but I know many other names

1:00:29.680 --> 1:00:32.880
<v Speaker 1>that are sort of her same pedigree that are being

1:00:33.120 --> 1:00:38.880
<v Speaker 1>slotted into races around the country. You think that members

1:00:38.880 --> 1:00:41.680
<v Speaker 1>of the Trump family, there's all these stories about Ivanka

1:00:41.920 --> 1:00:45.360
<v Speaker 1>against Rubio and Florida. What do you make of that? Yeah,

1:00:45.400 --> 1:00:48.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, I don't know if that's gonna if

1:00:48.200 --> 1:00:50.920
<v Speaker 1>that's gonna happen. You know, I'm sure that members of

1:00:50.960 --> 1:00:54.320
<v Speaker 1>the Trump family are going to run. Uh. You know,

1:00:54.320 --> 1:00:58.200
<v Speaker 1>obviously it's been floated the idea of Laura Trump, Eric

1:00:58.280 --> 1:01:02.400
<v Speaker 1>Trump's wife and a senior advisor on the campaign in

1:01:02.440 --> 1:01:06.120
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty UM that she would run for office in

1:01:06.160 --> 1:01:09.240
<v Speaker 1>her home state of North Carolina. I think that's probable,

1:01:09.360 --> 1:01:11.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, I put my money on that. UM. Whether

1:01:11.720 --> 1:01:16.160
<v Speaker 1>Ivanka decides to run against Rubio at this point, I

1:01:16.240 --> 1:01:18.720
<v Speaker 1>think that that might be something that is that has

1:01:18.760 --> 1:01:25.240
<v Speaker 1>floated in order to UM influence Rubio's loyalty, both of

1:01:25.320 --> 1:01:28.640
<v Speaker 1>this impeachment process and through through some others UM, and

1:01:28.880 --> 1:01:32.080
<v Speaker 1>so far, I think it's it's mostly worked. UM. You know,

1:01:32.080 --> 1:01:35.400
<v Speaker 1>it's it's an effective tool that the threat of primary

1:01:35.880 --> 1:01:38.760
<v Speaker 1>being primary by Trump. I mean that that could be devastating,

1:01:38.880 --> 1:01:41.600
<v Speaker 1>depending on what state and what race you're talking about.

1:01:42.080 --> 1:01:45.440
<v Speaker 1>Then the national money that that machine can bring to

1:01:45.560 --> 1:01:50.120
<v Speaker 1>their along with the the influence of UH for up

1:01:50.120 --> 1:01:52.120
<v Speaker 1>President Trump, which I don't think has waned with the

1:01:52.160 --> 1:01:56.920
<v Speaker 1>Republican primary electorate, it's huge. It's huge, you know. And

1:01:56.960 --> 1:01:59.400
<v Speaker 1>now whether or not those candidates that the president supports

1:01:59.440 --> 1:02:01.960
<v Speaker 1>will win general elections, you know, we'll have to see

1:02:01.960 --> 1:02:05.680
<v Speaker 1>how that plays out. But in terms of winning primaries,

1:02:05.680 --> 1:02:08.360
<v Speaker 1>I think the Presence Coalition, if they execute this right

1:02:08.680 --> 1:02:12.840
<v Speaker 1>they build the organization right, it'll be immense Harlan. What

1:02:13.000 --> 1:02:17.480
<v Speaker 1>happens if they do, in fact convict the president, I mean,

1:02:17.480 --> 1:02:19.680
<v Speaker 1>what happens within the GOP right we know me that

1:02:19.680 --> 1:02:22.400
<v Speaker 1>Trump can't run again. Then what do you see as

1:02:22.440 --> 1:02:27.160
<v Speaker 1>the fallout? Well, I think it's devastating. I mean, I

1:02:27.160 --> 1:02:29.760
<v Speaker 1>think it's a complete civil war. I'm starting to see

1:02:29.800 --> 1:02:33.320
<v Speaker 1>it sort of play out a little bit privately. There's

1:02:33.320 --> 1:02:37.760
<v Speaker 1>a lot of internal squabbling between people in the establishment,

1:02:37.960 --> 1:02:42.320
<v Speaker 1>people in Magaworld, and then people in Magaworld and other

1:02:42.320 --> 1:02:45.000
<v Speaker 1>people in Magwarred. There's a lot of infighting right now, Bob.

1:02:46.720 --> 1:02:49.840
<v Speaker 1>You know, if they do convict the president, which will

1:02:49.880 --> 1:02:53.840
<v Speaker 1>require a significant level of support from the Republican caucus

1:02:53.880 --> 1:03:01.880
<v Speaker 1>in the Senate, you know, I fear that that will

1:03:02.240 --> 1:03:06.880
<v Speaker 1>turn off an important segment of the electorate for Republicans

1:03:06.960 --> 1:03:08.520
<v Speaker 1>to such a degree that they might stay home. We

1:03:08.520 --> 1:03:10.800
<v Speaker 1>already got a taste of that with Georgia. We gotta

1:03:10.840 --> 1:03:14.960
<v Speaker 1>taste that this this idea that oh it's rigged. The

1:03:15.000 --> 1:03:18.760
<v Speaker 1>Republican leadership in George is terrible. Just stay home, don't

1:03:18.800 --> 1:03:21.280
<v Speaker 1>even vote. And you know what, I don't know that

1:03:21.480 --> 1:03:24.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't know that it was you know, ten or

1:03:24.600 --> 1:03:27.240
<v Speaker 1>fifteen percent the potential vote. But we do know that

1:03:27.240 --> 1:03:31.720
<v Speaker 1>that the turnout was wasn't what it was on election day. Um,

1:03:32.040 --> 1:03:36.800
<v Speaker 1>and you know that that message may have resonated with

1:03:36.880 --> 1:03:40.000
<v Speaker 1>some people and it may have impacted the results of

1:03:40.040 --> 1:03:43.640
<v Speaker 1>that election, the runoff election in Georgia. So you know,

1:03:43.680 --> 1:03:46.320
<v Speaker 1>we got to keep the coalition together, you know. And

1:03:46.320 --> 1:03:50.400
<v Speaker 1>and and um, you know when we were talking, Democrats

1:03:50.440 --> 1:03:52.880
<v Speaker 1>are talking about unity, they don't mean it. But we

1:03:52.920 --> 1:03:55.160
<v Speaker 1>can talk about unity with our within our party and

1:03:55.200 --> 1:03:57.720
<v Speaker 1>we better mean it or you know, we're gonna spend

1:03:57.720 --> 1:03:59.840
<v Speaker 1>a lot of time in the wilderness and we can't

1:04:00.040 --> 1:04:02.480
<v Speaker 1>for it because we already see what the result of

1:04:02.520 --> 1:04:05.280
<v Speaker 1>that is when Democrats control the House of Senate and

1:04:05.320 --> 1:04:07.600
<v Speaker 1>the White House is devastating. Do you think that the

1:04:07.600 --> 1:04:10.960
<v Speaker 1>geo we're speaking of, Harlan Hill, he is a principal

1:04:11.000 --> 1:04:15.800
<v Speaker 1>at Logan Circle, Logan Circle Group in DC. And I

1:04:15.800 --> 1:04:19.600
<v Speaker 1>mean Harlan's involved in actual campaigns and understands that the

1:04:19.640 --> 1:04:23.240
<v Speaker 1>machinery here of what goes on inside the Beltway that

1:04:23.240 --> 1:04:25.280
<v Speaker 1>that affects, of course the rest of the country through

1:04:26.040 --> 1:04:29.520
<v Speaker 1>through these these elections. And and Harlan, do you think

1:04:29.560 --> 1:04:32.280
<v Speaker 1>that the GOP, assuming for a second for our purposes

1:04:32.320 --> 1:04:35.400
<v Speaker 1>of discussion, that there is no conviction of Trump by

1:04:35.400 --> 1:04:39.320
<v Speaker 1>the Senate, have we has the GOP had the necessary

1:04:39.320 --> 1:04:42.760
<v Speaker 1>discussions and learned the necessary lessons at this stage to

1:04:42.880 --> 1:04:47.120
<v Speaker 1>begin that process of putting in place a winning strategy

1:04:47.160 --> 1:04:49.400
<v Speaker 1>for twenty twenty two Or do you feel like the

1:04:49.480 --> 1:04:52.080
<v Speaker 1>tough conversations within the family, so to speak, of the

1:04:52.160 --> 1:04:56.200
<v Speaker 1>GOP haven't really been had yet. I think they are

1:04:56.240 --> 1:05:00.840
<v Speaker 1>happening right now where they're starting to happen, and I

1:05:00.920 --> 1:05:02.520
<v Speaker 1>don't I don't mean to go back to it. I'm

1:05:02.560 --> 1:05:06.960
<v Speaker 1>just gonna quickly reference it, the the the the y

1:05:07.040 --> 1:05:09.280
<v Speaker 1>in the road, the fourth in the road. Here is

1:05:09.320 --> 1:05:12.840
<v Speaker 1>what the party decides to do about this impeachment process,

1:05:13.560 --> 1:05:16.160
<v Speaker 1>right that that that is what will put a wedge

1:05:16.280 --> 1:05:21.080
<v Speaker 1>in in within our party to basically create a party divorce,

1:05:21.680 --> 1:05:25.840
<v Speaker 1>a civil war. It will have to be resolved. Um

1:05:25.880 --> 1:05:27.880
<v Speaker 1>and and it's and and a lot of egos are

1:05:27.880 --> 1:05:29.320
<v Speaker 1>going to be hurt in the process. A lot of

1:05:29.320 --> 1:05:31.520
<v Speaker 1>people's brands are gonna be damaged in the process. It's

1:05:31.520 --> 1:05:36.000
<v Speaker 1>gonna be in the liberal media will love it. They

1:05:36.000 --> 1:05:38.800
<v Speaker 1>will love it. You know, it'll make twenty sixteen, the

1:05:39.200 --> 1:05:41.640
<v Speaker 1>primary in twenty fifteen, twenty sixteen within the Republican Party

1:05:41.640 --> 1:05:46.000
<v Speaker 1>look like a cake walk. Okay, so um, you know,

1:05:46.080 --> 1:05:48.200
<v Speaker 1>those conversations are starting to happen. But I think a

1:05:48.240 --> 1:05:50.760
<v Speaker 1>lot of people buck are waiting to see how that

1:05:51.000 --> 1:05:55.640
<v Speaker 1>turns out, because that will determine, you know, where the part,

1:05:55.800 --> 1:05:58.000
<v Speaker 1>how much the party values the Trump wing of the

1:05:58.040 --> 1:06:00.480
<v Speaker 1>Republican Party, and whether they're going to tell him to

1:06:00.600 --> 1:06:03.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, shut up and get in line, um or

1:06:03.320 --> 1:06:05.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, hey, we're we're all in the same te

1:06:05.440 --> 1:06:07.920
<v Speaker 1>run a fight for each other, um. And and that's

1:06:07.920 --> 1:06:10.080
<v Speaker 1>what the Republican Party should do, you know, I mean,

1:06:10.400 --> 1:06:12.440
<v Speaker 1>we are we are We have become a big tent party.

1:06:12.480 --> 1:06:15.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean this party has fundamentally changed under under Trump,

1:06:15.560 --> 1:06:18.360
<v Speaker 1>which is why I I long resisted the notion of

1:06:18.520 --> 1:06:20.680
<v Speaker 1>creating a new party because you know, he already executed

1:06:20.680 --> 1:06:22.480
<v Speaker 1>your hostile to take over it and introduced all these

1:06:22.480 --> 1:06:26.000
<v Speaker 1>new ideas, grew the party, made it a more of

1:06:26.000 --> 1:06:29.680
<v Speaker 1>a working class party. UM expanded its reach and support

1:06:29.680 --> 1:06:31.680
<v Speaker 1>within minority communities. But with the Presims, it was kind

1:06:31.720 --> 1:06:33.680
<v Speaker 1>of amazing. It's kind of amazing. We love and or

1:06:33.720 --> 1:06:36.040
<v Speaker 1>hate him. It was you know, it's a it's a's

1:06:36.120 --> 1:06:41.120
<v Speaker 1>huge transformational um and you know, we have to see

1:06:41.240 --> 1:06:45.960
<v Speaker 1>whether the whether the the the establishment ruling elites in

1:06:46.080 --> 1:06:49.960
<v Speaker 1>Washington down there at the Republican National Committee UM are

1:06:50.000 --> 1:06:54.200
<v Speaker 1>willing to cast that thirty five percent of the party

1:06:54.720 --> 1:06:57.360
<v Speaker 1>aside or or or keep them in the fold. And

1:06:57.840 --> 1:06:59.560
<v Speaker 1>for me, that's a no brainer. I know which way

1:06:59.560 --> 1:07:03.120
<v Speaker 1>they should go. Harlan Hill follow him on social media.

1:07:03.200 --> 1:07:07.800
<v Speaker 1>He is a principal at the Logan Circle. Logan Circle Group. Harlan,

1:07:08.000 --> 1:07:11.000
<v Speaker 1>my friend, keep the GOP from imploding in the meantime. Okay,

1:07:11.080 --> 1:07:13.600
<v Speaker 1>do your best. I'm trying. Thanks one man, talk to

1:07:13.600 --> 1:07:19.720
<v Speaker 1>you soon. You're listening to the Fuck Sexton Show podcast,

1:07:19.920 --> 1:07:22.640
<v Speaker 1>make sure you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeartRadio

1:07:22.760 --> 1:07:27.080
<v Speaker 1>app or wherever you get your podcasts. Was their election

1:07:27.440 --> 1:07:30.800
<v Speaker 1>fraud that still needs to be looked at, that needs

1:07:30.840 --> 1:07:34.000
<v Speaker 1>to be presented in court. You know, this is the

1:07:34.000 --> 1:07:35.840
<v Speaker 1>big question that still remains out there. As much as

1:07:35.840 --> 1:07:38.120
<v Speaker 1>Democrats say there is no question, as much as we

1:07:38.160 --> 1:07:40.440
<v Speaker 1>had Chris Christie before saying there was no question. I

1:07:40.480 --> 1:07:43.240
<v Speaker 1>want to play for you. This is a pretty lengthy

1:07:43.320 --> 1:07:46.120
<v Speaker 1>exchange here, but you need to hear it. And it's

1:07:46.160 --> 1:07:48.560
<v Speaker 1>between one of my favorite senators. And he's not a

1:07:48.600 --> 1:07:50.840
<v Speaker 1>warm and fuzzy guy, but I think he's a principled

1:07:50.880 --> 1:07:53.840
<v Speaker 1>guy and a smart guy. You know. Not great at

1:07:53.920 --> 1:07:56.920
<v Speaker 1>retail politics, not great at kissing babies and shaking hands,

1:07:57.200 --> 1:07:59.439
<v Speaker 1>but he's smart. And I think he believes in in

1:07:59.440 --> 1:08:02.000
<v Speaker 1>in the constant two individual liberty, and that's rand Paul.

1:08:02.400 --> 1:08:05.960
<v Speaker 1>You know, I've always I've always thought Rampaul was was solid.

1:08:06.160 --> 1:08:09.760
<v Speaker 1>Here he is going toe to toe with pundit aka

1:08:09.880 --> 1:08:13.480
<v Speaker 1>journalist George Stephanopolis on the election fraud question. I want

1:08:13.480 --> 1:08:15.120
<v Speaker 1>to play this for you so you can really hear

1:08:15.360 --> 1:08:18.040
<v Speaker 1>this exchange. Go for it. But at the same time,

1:08:18.120 --> 1:08:20.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm not willing just to sit here and say, oh,

1:08:20.360 --> 1:08:22.639
<v Speaker 1>everybody in the Republican side is a liar and there

1:08:22.680 --> 1:08:25.160
<v Speaker 1>is no fraud. No, there were lots of problems, and

1:08:25.160 --> 1:08:28.280
<v Speaker 1>there were secretaries of the state who illegally change the law,

1:08:28.320 --> 1:08:30.320
<v Speaker 1>and that needs to be fixed, and I'm gonna work

1:08:30.320 --> 1:08:31.960
<v Speaker 1>hard to fix it. And I won't be cowed by

1:08:31.960 --> 1:08:34.559
<v Speaker 1>people saying, oh, you're a liar. That's the problem with

1:08:34.560 --> 1:08:36.800
<v Speaker 1>the media today, as they say all Republicans are liars,

1:08:36.840 --> 1:08:38.840
<v Speaker 1>and everything we say is a lie. There are two

1:08:38.840 --> 1:08:41.320
<v Speaker 1>sides to every story. Interview somebody on the other side,

1:08:41.320 --> 1:08:43.680
<v Speaker 1>but don't insert yourself into the story to say we're

1:08:43.720 --> 1:08:47.360
<v Speaker 1>all liars, because they are not. They are not two.

1:08:47.520 --> 1:08:49.519
<v Speaker 1>There are not two sides of the story. This has

1:08:49.560 --> 1:08:52.880
<v Speaker 1>been looked at in every single state. Yees are to

1:08:52.920 --> 1:08:56.519
<v Speaker 1>fight every sides to every story. George, you're forgetting who

1:08:56.560 --> 1:08:58.519
<v Speaker 1>you are. You're forgetting who you are as a journalist.

1:08:58.560 --> 1:09:01.040
<v Speaker 1>If you think there's only one side, you're inserting yourself

1:09:01.040 --> 1:09:03.439
<v Speaker 1>into the story to say I'm a liar because I

1:09:03.479 --> 1:09:05.200
<v Speaker 1>want to look at election fraud and I want to

1:09:05.200 --> 1:09:08.120
<v Speaker 1>look at secretaries of state who illegally change the voter

1:09:08.280 --> 1:09:12.480
<v Speaker 1>laws without the permission of their state legislatures. That is incontrovertible.

1:09:12.520 --> 1:09:14.400
<v Speaker 1>It happened, and you can't just sweep that under the

1:09:14.479 --> 1:09:17.160
<v Speaker 1>rug and say, oh, nothing to see here, and everybody's

1:09:17.160 --> 1:09:19.280
<v Speaker 1>a liar and you're a fool. If you bring this up,

1:09:19.439 --> 1:09:22.559
<v Speaker 1>you're inserting yourself into the story. A journalist would hear

1:09:22.640 --> 1:09:25.200
<v Speaker 1>both sides, and there are two sides of this. I'm

1:09:25.240 --> 1:09:27.799
<v Speaker 1>standing by facts. There are not two sides to facts.

1:09:28.000 --> 1:09:30.240
<v Speaker 1>I did not say that this was a perfect election.

1:09:30.280 --> 1:09:32.679
<v Speaker 1>I said it was the results were certified. I said

1:09:32.680 --> 1:09:36.479
<v Speaker 1>it was not stolen. Are liars? You're saying people are

1:09:36.520 --> 1:09:39.280
<v Speaker 1>liars if they want to investigate what happened in the election.

1:09:39.560 --> 1:09:42.720
<v Speaker 1>Should what I said? In fact, the tens of thousands

1:09:42.760 --> 1:09:45.360
<v Speaker 1>of absentee ballots did not have addresses on them and

1:09:45.479 --> 1:09:48.120
<v Speaker 1>normally were disqualified, but this time they were counted. Should

1:09:48.120 --> 1:09:50.559
<v Speaker 1>we examine that. I don't know whether it affected the

1:09:50.560 --> 1:09:52.640
<v Speaker 1>election or not, but I have an open mind. And

1:09:52.680 --> 1:09:55.120
<v Speaker 1>if we actually examined this we found out it didn't,

1:09:55.439 --> 1:09:58.679
<v Speaker 1>that's fine, but it still should be fixed. Still should

1:09:59.360 --> 1:10:03.479
<v Speaker 1>be fixed. Democrats want to just that they want this

1:10:03.600 --> 1:10:09.000
<v Speaker 1>thing sign sealed, delivered, no discussion, no discussion. It's how

1:10:09.040 --> 1:10:12.000
<v Speaker 1>they wanted to be. Can't talk about it anymore, said

1:10:12.040 --> 1:10:15.679
<v Speaker 1>a Rampaul. Very smart guy, and he's saying, oh, hold

1:10:15.720 --> 1:10:19.160
<v Speaker 1>on a second, this is these are part of the

1:10:19.320 --> 1:10:21.760
<v Speaker 1>allegations of the questions were about things that are real.

1:10:22.720 --> 1:10:25.160
<v Speaker 1>You know, they did in the state of Pennsylvania. They

1:10:25.200 --> 1:10:28.320
<v Speaker 1>did decide to just change the way the election was

1:10:28.360 --> 1:10:32.920
<v Speaker 1>being run in a way that certainly seems unconstitutional. They

1:10:32.960 --> 1:10:35.599
<v Speaker 1>did make that decision. Do we ever, do we ever

1:10:35.640 --> 1:10:37.040
<v Speaker 1>get to have a full hearing on that? Do we

1:10:37.080 --> 1:10:39.840
<v Speaker 1>ever get to have that discussion. Ram Paul says, yes,

1:10:39.920 --> 1:10:45.200
<v Speaker 1>I say Rampaul's right. This is the Fuck Sexton Show Podcast.

1:10:45.800 --> 1:10:50.719
<v Speaker 1>Follow Fuck on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Got back from

1:10:50.720 --> 1:10:56.320
<v Speaker 1>a weekend in Florida, WIOD, w FLA. So many of

1:10:56.320 --> 1:11:00.880
<v Speaker 1>our wonderful stations down there in Florida. Um, and you know,

1:11:00.920 --> 1:11:02.960
<v Speaker 1>producer Mark and I talk a lot now about how

1:11:03.000 --> 1:11:05.599
<v Speaker 1>maybe the Freedom Hunt needs to head south, not just

1:11:05.640 --> 1:11:08.439
<v Speaker 1>for the winter, but permanently we're down there. I was

1:11:08.479 --> 1:11:12.160
<v Speaker 1>down there in Florida, and yet again I have a

1:11:12.200 --> 1:11:16.280
<v Speaker 1>situation here where I just I want someone to explain

1:11:16.360 --> 1:11:19.479
<v Speaker 1>to me what the benefit is, How anyone can make

1:11:19.520 --> 1:11:25.960
<v Speaker 1>the argument right now that there are that there, there

1:11:26.000 --> 1:11:30.240
<v Speaker 1>has been better governance, and we've handled things better here

1:11:31.120 --> 1:11:33.800
<v Speaker 1>than we did than they are in Florida. But when

1:11:33.800 --> 1:11:36.559
<v Speaker 1>I say here, I'm in New York. Look at New York,

1:11:36.560 --> 1:11:39.480
<v Speaker 1>look at California, look at Florida. What is the upside

1:11:40.160 --> 1:11:43.240
<v Speaker 1>of the extreme lockdown approach? Now, let me just say

1:11:43.320 --> 1:11:46.479
<v Speaker 1>there are some very dumb rules at the local level

1:11:46.479 --> 1:11:49.280
<v Speaker 1>in Florida. I mean I was in Miami and I yes,

1:11:49.360 --> 1:11:52.040
<v Speaker 1>I was at the beach and I had to go

1:11:52.080 --> 1:11:53.320
<v Speaker 1>at one point and go up to the one of

1:11:53.320 --> 1:11:55.479
<v Speaker 1>they have these these huts on the beach where you

1:11:55.520 --> 1:11:58.680
<v Speaker 1>get towels. And I said, all right, So I go

1:11:58.760 --> 1:12:01.639
<v Speaker 1>up to the hut, to the towel, not the freedom hut,

1:12:01.680 --> 1:12:04.720
<v Speaker 1>of course, and the woman there, and I'm about ten

1:12:04.760 --> 1:12:07.519
<v Speaker 1>feet away from her at least. I'm just saying, hey,

1:12:07.560 --> 1:12:09.240
<v Speaker 1>can I get myself because their towels are out in

1:12:09.240 --> 1:12:10.759
<v Speaker 1>a bind. I'm like, hey, can I get a towel?

1:12:11.560 --> 1:12:13.840
<v Speaker 1>And she says, sir, can you put a mask on? Please?

1:12:15.160 --> 1:12:17.519
<v Speaker 1>And I'm looking at her. I'm like, we're outside. We're

1:12:17.560 --> 1:12:20.599
<v Speaker 1>both outside. There's nothing indoor here. She's in an open

1:12:20.640 --> 1:12:24.400
<v Speaker 1>air hut. I'm I'm in the open air. Everyone walking

1:12:24.439 --> 1:12:27.599
<v Speaker 1>around doesn't have a mask on, okay, But to talk

1:12:27.640 --> 1:12:29.920
<v Speaker 1>to her from ten feet away, I'm supposed to put

1:12:29.920 --> 1:12:36.760
<v Speaker 1>a mask on because my non existent COVID virus is

1:12:36.760 --> 1:12:38.559
<v Speaker 1>going to fly out of my mouth like a heat

1:12:38.560 --> 1:12:41.080
<v Speaker 1>seeking missile and go right into hers in open air

1:12:41.120 --> 1:12:44.639
<v Speaker 1>from ten feet away. Now, I don't blame this woman

1:12:44.720 --> 1:12:47.160
<v Speaker 1>for saying, sir, can you put on a mask? But

1:12:47.560 --> 1:12:51.200
<v Speaker 1>I blame the stupidity of the people who are instituting

1:12:51.240 --> 1:12:54.920
<v Speaker 1>these rules, even in Florida, because they think this is

1:12:54.920 --> 1:12:57.280
<v Speaker 1>what the smart people do. They're so convinced, so dug

1:12:57.280 --> 1:13:00.559
<v Speaker 1>in that this is the right way to go, and

1:13:00.600 --> 1:13:04.800
<v Speaker 1>it's just not. It's just not. And then you look

1:13:04.800 --> 1:13:08.040
<v Speaker 1>at what's happening in California. Actually, I'm not done with Florida.

1:13:08.040 --> 1:13:10.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm not done with Florida. Before I go to California,

1:13:10.160 --> 1:13:14.439
<v Speaker 1>I'm what Governor Newsom's doing there. In Florida. They have

1:13:14.439 --> 1:13:17.000
<v Speaker 1>businesses open, they have stores open, people are living life.

1:13:17.760 --> 1:13:21.040
<v Speaker 1>And it's increasingly hard, I think, to make a serious

1:13:21.120 --> 1:13:25.720
<v Speaker 1>case as to why anybody would want to stay in

1:13:25.720 --> 1:13:29.160
<v Speaker 1>one of these insane blue states when they could be

1:13:29.320 --> 1:13:31.760
<v Speaker 1>in a mostly open, red state. And I do think

1:13:31.760 --> 1:13:34.080
<v Speaker 1>it's one of the disconnects that I've had as a

1:13:34.160 --> 1:13:37.120
<v Speaker 1>New Yorker talking to people across the country. And you know,

1:13:37.120 --> 1:13:39.880
<v Speaker 1>there are other shows Sean Hannity show, he's a New Yorker,

1:13:39.920 --> 1:13:42.920
<v Speaker 1>his shows out of New York. You know, there are

1:13:42.920 --> 1:13:45.639
<v Speaker 1>a lot a lot of people that do shows out

1:13:45.640 --> 1:13:48.120
<v Speaker 1>of blue states that are broadcast all across the rest

1:13:48.120 --> 1:13:52.000
<v Speaker 1>of the country. But as somebody who's who's in that position,

1:13:52.120 --> 1:13:55.840
<v Speaker 1>I know that my experience with lockdown has been far

1:13:55.960 --> 1:13:59.320
<v Speaker 1>more onerous than a lot of you listening in redder

1:13:59.439 --> 1:14:02.240
<v Speaker 1>states across the country, So that's certainly affected my judgment.

1:14:02.439 --> 1:14:04.759
<v Speaker 1>So while it's annoying to you, and certainly the federal

1:14:04.800 --> 1:14:08.240
<v Speaker 1>policies affect you, you haven't been put through quite the

1:14:08.320 --> 1:14:12.920
<v Speaker 1>same lunacy. Although Texas has not been great in how

1:14:12.960 --> 1:14:15.920
<v Speaker 1>it is. I'm just gonna say, at Texas, and you

1:14:15.920 --> 1:14:19.719
<v Speaker 1>know our KOBJ Austin Fam and our KPRC Houston Fam.

1:14:19.760 --> 1:14:23.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you guys have been through a pretty tough

1:14:23.200 --> 1:14:26.080
<v Speaker 1>situation with your governor and with the way that your

1:14:26.160 --> 1:14:30.240
<v Speaker 1>state authorities have handled this situation. Florida has been better,

1:14:31.240 --> 1:14:33.960
<v Speaker 1>has been better at dealing with this, and I think

1:14:33.960 --> 1:14:36.720
<v Speaker 1>there are a lot of people. I think there are

1:14:36.720 --> 1:14:41.920
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people who were currently seeing fleeing these

1:14:42.200 --> 1:14:45.360
<v Speaker 1>these big blue states to places like Florida. I think

1:14:45.360 --> 1:14:48.040
<v Speaker 1>you're going to see a lot more of it. What's

1:14:48.120 --> 1:14:51.479
<v Speaker 1>the upside? And continue to be in a place where

1:14:51.520 --> 1:14:54.600
<v Speaker 1>you see that those in charge, they will bow to

1:14:54.720 --> 1:14:58.200
<v Speaker 1>the dictates of political correctness and to the left at

1:14:58.240 --> 1:15:04.040
<v Speaker 1>the expense of millions of businesses and millions of people's

1:15:04.080 --> 1:15:09.880
<v Speaker 1>lives and livelihoods. For what Then that brings me to

1:15:10.360 --> 1:15:13.240
<v Speaker 1>California and I think this is I think this is

1:15:13.240 --> 1:15:18.080
<v Speaker 1>a fascinating situation right now because in the great state

1:15:18.120 --> 1:15:21.200
<v Speaker 1>of California, you have something very interesting happening right now.

1:15:22.200 --> 1:15:28.080
<v Speaker 1>Gavin Newsom is letting restaurants open for indoor dining again. Now,

1:15:28.840 --> 1:15:31.800
<v Speaker 1>why are they doing? Those cases are still very, very high.

1:15:31.920 --> 1:15:35.680
<v Speaker 1>We have not flattened the curve. The policies they've had

1:15:35.720 --> 1:15:38.680
<v Speaker 1>in place have not had the intended effect. The mandates,

1:15:38.720 --> 1:15:43.160
<v Speaker 1>the lockdowns have not worked the way we were told

1:15:43.160 --> 1:15:45.560
<v Speaker 1>they would. That's just a fact. They can try to

1:15:45.640 --> 1:15:47.720
<v Speaker 1>argue this, but it's ridiculous. We can all see it,

1:15:47.760 --> 1:15:50.880
<v Speaker 1>all right. The numbers speak for themselves. But here we go.

1:15:51.040 --> 1:15:54.360
<v Speaker 1>As of January twenty fourth, California has three million, one

1:15:54.479 --> 1:15:58.439
<v Speaker 1>hundred and nine, one hundred and fifty one confirmed cases

1:15:58.439 --> 1:16:02.000
<v Speaker 1>of COVID nineteen volting in thirty six thousand, seven hundred

1:16:02.120 --> 1:16:05.760
<v Speaker 1>ninety deaths. The number of COVID related deaths increased by

1:16:05.800 --> 1:16:07.960
<v Speaker 1>one point two percent from the prior day total of

1:16:07.960 --> 1:16:11.960
<v Speaker 1>thirty six thousand, three hundred and sixty one. So you've

1:16:11.960 --> 1:16:16.439
<v Speaker 1>got three point one million cases, twenty four thousand new cases,

1:16:16.640 --> 1:16:20.200
<v Speaker 1>thirty six thousand, seven hundred ninety deaths, four hundred plus

1:16:20.240 --> 1:16:24.439
<v Speaker 1>a day in California, and they're running over three hundred

1:16:24.479 --> 1:16:31.800
<v Speaker 1>thousand tests a day in California. Why right now, why

1:16:32.000 --> 1:16:35.760
<v Speaker 1>right now is Gavin Newsom about to lift these stay

1:16:35.800 --> 1:16:41.479
<v Speaker 1>at home orders and allow indoor dining to reopen? Why

1:16:41.720 --> 1:16:48.679
<v Speaker 1>is that occurring? Why is that happening? And the answer is, well,

1:16:48.720 --> 1:16:52.519
<v Speaker 1>a number of factors. On the one hand, you have,

1:16:52.560 --> 1:16:55.080
<v Speaker 1>I think the recognition among a lot of people out

1:16:55.120 --> 1:16:59.160
<v Speaker 1>there that this idea that we could just lock down

1:16:59.240 --> 1:17:01.800
<v Speaker 1>through the whole wind and do these extreme stay at

1:17:01.800 --> 1:17:05.360
<v Speaker 1>home orders and stuff, even while the public sees that

1:17:05.439 --> 1:17:07.960
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't stop the virus, which it has not done.

1:17:08.040 --> 1:17:10.599
<v Speaker 1>It has not stopped the virus. That is a that

1:17:10.720 --> 1:17:14.280
<v Speaker 1>is an obvious fact. So to put people through all

1:17:14.280 --> 1:17:17.720
<v Speaker 1>this suffering and misery for an entire winter period when

1:17:17.760 --> 1:17:21.479
<v Speaker 1>they're not seeing the actual benefits of the misery, that

1:17:21.840 --> 1:17:26.679
<v Speaker 1>is a problem. That is a political liability. After a while,

1:17:26.760 --> 1:17:29.400
<v Speaker 1>so they've started to see that you do have to

1:17:29.439 --> 1:17:33.560
<v Speaker 1>make adult decisions about this. You do have to rationally

1:17:33.600 --> 1:17:37.880
<v Speaker 1>look at what is gained and what is lost through

1:17:38.000 --> 1:17:42.840
<v Speaker 1>the process here of you know, what is gained and

1:17:42.920 --> 1:17:45.439
<v Speaker 1>what is lost through the process of deciding that if

1:17:45.439 --> 1:17:47.920
<v Speaker 1>it just if it might save not even if it

1:17:47.960 --> 1:17:51.840
<v Speaker 1>saves if it might save one life, whatever economic and

1:17:51.880 --> 1:17:55.760
<v Speaker 1>societal cost we have to bear is acceptable. That that

1:17:55.920 --> 1:17:59.439
<v Speaker 1>was under the Trump administration, the approach that California and

1:17:59.479 --> 1:18:03.040
<v Speaker 1>other big loose states were taken, right, that's something that

1:18:03.080 --> 1:18:05.720
<v Speaker 1>we have to remember. Now all of a sudden that

1:18:05.760 --> 1:18:07.919
<v Speaker 1>seems to be changing. As I said, there's the political

1:18:07.960 --> 1:18:12.800
<v Speaker 1>liability of keeping people locked in their homes, of preventing

1:18:12.880 --> 1:18:16.719
<v Speaker 1>people from being able to live their lives. And they're

1:18:16.760 --> 1:18:20.479
<v Speaker 1>not seeing because the numbers are obvious, the benefits that

1:18:20.479 --> 1:18:23.680
<v Speaker 1>were promised. That's one part of it. And then on

1:18:23.720 --> 1:18:28.680
<v Speaker 1>another side of it, what about the reopening of America

1:18:28.760 --> 1:18:32.599
<v Speaker 1>as it is a political benefit to Joe Biden? How

1:18:32.600 --> 1:18:36.040
<v Speaker 1>does that factor into all of this getting things going

1:18:36.120 --> 1:18:39.479
<v Speaker 1>again so that Joe Biden can be the big hero here.

1:18:39.479 --> 1:18:43.559
<v Speaker 1>You've already seen this with the vaccination program and how

1:18:44.000 --> 1:18:47.840
<v Speaker 1>Biden's whole one hundred million vaccinations in one hundred days. Yeah,

1:18:47.880 --> 1:18:50.639
<v Speaker 1>we're doing about a million a day right now. So

1:18:50.720 --> 1:18:54.840
<v Speaker 1>Biden's great contribution really to the vaccine program so far

1:18:54.960 --> 1:18:58.760
<v Speaker 1>has been largely in terms of numbers, the perpetuation of

1:18:58.760 --> 1:19:02.760
<v Speaker 1>the status quo. But for Joe Biden. If you perpetuate

1:19:02.840 --> 1:19:06.479
<v Speaker 1>the status quo, you're a hero because they're all just

1:19:06.600 --> 1:19:08.240
<v Speaker 1>going to clap for him and say how Grady is

1:19:08.280 --> 1:19:13.400
<v Speaker 1>no matter what. But sure enough, California is thinking about reopening.

1:19:13.439 --> 1:19:18.840
<v Speaker 1>New York under Governor Cuomo recently had had an open discussion,

1:19:18.960 --> 1:19:24.479
<v Speaker 1>you know, began to muse publicly about how reopening could

1:19:24.479 --> 1:19:27.559
<v Speaker 1>happen and how we can't wait until the virus has

1:19:27.600 --> 1:19:31.000
<v Speaker 1>totally gone. I've been saying this all along. This has

1:19:31.000 --> 1:19:33.840
<v Speaker 1>been my position that we can't just shut down. We

1:19:33.880 --> 1:19:38.679
<v Speaker 1>can't just take this to take this as a given

1:19:39.200 --> 1:19:43.080
<v Speaker 1>that by having these extreme lockdown orders and shutdowns, we're

1:19:43.120 --> 1:19:46.479
<v Speaker 1>making the right decision. There's a lot of back and

1:19:46.520 --> 1:19:48.519
<v Speaker 1>forth over there. There's a lot of reason to believe

1:19:49.080 --> 1:19:51.639
<v Speaker 1>that we're not getting the benefits were told. The data

1:19:51.680 --> 1:19:53.679
<v Speaker 1>does not support it, and so what we just have

1:19:54.000 --> 1:19:57.280
<v Speaker 1>is a lot of misery. What we just have is

1:19:57.360 --> 1:20:02.400
<v Speaker 1>compounding the problem. But because of the political benefits of

1:20:03.040 --> 1:20:05.799
<v Speaker 1>the Biden administration being able to take credit for the reopen,

1:20:06.479 --> 1:20:08.720
<v Speaker 1>now all of a sudden, you see it's politicized in

1:20:08.760 --> 1:20:11.639
<v Speaker 1>the other direction for the first time. Now it starts

1:20:11.680 --> 1:20:13.479
<v Speaker 1>to be they still want the control. It's at their

1:20:13.560 --> 1:20:16.400
<v Speaker 1>say so, and they still want you to maybe double

1:20:16.479 --> 1:20:18.759
<v Speaker 1>mask now, and they want you all these other stupid things,

1:20:19.120 --> 1:20:23.080
<v Speaker 1>but they're at least thinking about in some areas letting

1:20:23.080 --> 1:20:25.479
<v Speaker 1>it up, letting people have more of their lives back,

1:20:25.800 --> 1:20:29.040
<v Speaker 1>and then the Biden administration can take credit, and maybe

1:20:29.080 --> 1:20:32.000
<v Speaker 1>then people will forget that it has been a Democrat mentality,

1:20:32.040 --> 1:20:37.679
<v Speaker 1>a Democrat demand that we have extreme, extreme lockdowns in place.

1:20:49.600 --> 1:20:52.080
<v Speaker 1>First of all, it made me so angry to see

1:20:52.120 --> 1:20:56.000
<v Speaker 1>all of these different images coming from National Guard soldiers

1:20:56.000 --> 1:20:58.600
<v Speaker 1>really posting the reality of the situation that they were in,

1:20:59.240 --> 1:21:03.719
<v Speaker 1>being shoved into the parking garage that's freezing cold, all

1:21:03.800 --> 1:21:06.840
<v Speaker 1>strewn about, lying on the ground, really being discarded as

1:21:06.840 --> 1:21:10.200
<v Speaker 1>though they don't even matter. Meanwhile, as you said, our troops,

1:21:10.280 --> 1:21:13.080
<v Speaker 1>National Guard soldiers, some of whom I've served with, you know,

1:21:13.120 --> 1:21:16.320
<v Speaker 1>two hundred came from Hawaii, went to Washington, DC, answered

1:21:16.360 --> 1:21:19.880
<v Speaker 1>that call to serve like everybody else, only to be

1:21:20.000 --> 1:21:24.880
<v Speaker 1>mistreated in this way. No to answer your question, the

1:21:24.920 --> 1:21:31.240
<v Speaker 1>militarization of our nation's capital was not only unnecessary, Yes,

1:21:31.280 --> 1:21:33.759
<v Speaker 1>we need to make sure that this transition of power

1:21:33.800 --> 1:21:38.439
<v Speaker 1>happens peacefully and safely, but to send that message both

1:21:38.560 --> 1:21:42.520
<v Speaker 1>to the American people and to the world that somehow

1:21:42.680 --> 1:21:47.080
<v Speaker 1>our nation's capital is under attack and threat of a

1:21:47.200 --> 1:21:51.000
<v Speaker 1>siege of taking over, I just don't think that's the

1:21:51.040 --> 1:21:53.120
<v Speaker 1>message that we want to send to the American people

1:21:53.520 --> 1:21:57.280
<v Speaker 1>and to the world, especially as we conduct this peaceful

1:21:57.320 --> 1:22:00.719
<v Speaker 1>transition of power. Send it all along on the problem

1:22:00.760 --> 1:22:04.439
<v Speaker 1>that Tulsi Gabbert has as a Democrat is that she's

1:22:04.560 --> 1:22:09.600
<v Speaker 1>not vicious and hateful and nasty enough to be a Democrats.

1:22:09.640 --> 1:22:12.000
<v Speaker 1>She's very left wing and her policies, but she doesn't

1:22:12.000 --> 1:22:15.080
<v Speaker 1>hate Republicans and she loves the military. And if you

1:22:15.120 --> 1:22:18.680
<v Speaker 1>don't hate Republicans and you actually love the military, you

1:22:18.720 --> 1:22:22.000
<v Speaker 1>add those two things together. Very hard to be a

1:22:22.000 --> 1:22:25.960
<v Speaker 1>Democrat in good standing with the left wing apparatus. Very hard,

1:22:26.120 --> 1:22:29.559
<v Speaker 1>basically impossible. This is why they come after Tulsie say, oh,

1:22:29.600 --> 1:22:34.360
<v Speaker 1>she's an Assad apologist, all this stuff. And remember on policy,

1:22:34.439 --> 1:22:37.719
<v Speaker 1>she's very left wing. I know that, but she doesn't

1:22:37.800 --> 1:22:41.040
<v Speaker 1>hate her opponents. And that's not really allowed these days.

1:22:41.040 --> 1:22:43.080
<v Speaker 1>You have to hate, you have to hate your opponents,

1:22:43.800 --> 1:22:47.080
<v Speaker 1>and then you also if they're Republicans that you also

1:22:47.120 --> 1:22:50.880
<v Speaker 1>have her pointing out that the the whole positioning here

1:22:50.920 --> 1:22:52.920
<v Speaker 1>of this thing with the National Guard where they're sleeping

1:22:52.920 --> 1:22:55.920
<v Speaker 1>on the floor in the Capitol, or the photos of it,

1:22:56.640 --> 1:23:02.439
<v Speaker 1>this was all orchestrated by Democrats because they really live

1:23:02.479 --> 1:23:05.840
<v Speaker 1>in this constant state of hysteria and they want they

1:23:05.880 --> 1:23:08.280
<v Speaker 1>want people to live in a state of hysteria. I

1:23:08.280 --> 1:23:11.360
<v Speaker 1>mean that the Democrat view of the world is that

1:23:11.400 --> 1:23:18.080
<v Speaker 1>there should be a domestic counter terrorism fight against Trump's

1:23:18.080 --> 1:23:22.520
<v Speaker 1>supporters because they're such a threat, because the white nationalists

1:23:22.520 --> 1:23:24.639
<v Speaker 1>are going to storm the White House at any moment

1:23:24.640 --> 1:23:26.599
<v Speaker 1>and take it over and all this other stuff. They say,

1:23:26.640 --> 1:23:32.400
<v Speaker 1>that's just not true. But if you can create a world,

1:23:32.400 --> 1:23:35.280
<v Speaker 1>if you can create an environment where enough people believe that,

1:23:36.280 --> 1:23:39.200
<v Speaker 1>well there's a lot of political advantage in it, you see,

1:23:39.240 --> 1:23:42.280
<v Speaker 1>because why do you have to treat your opponents with

1:23:42.400 --> 1:23:45.880
<v Speaker 1>decency and kindness and respect. Why would you do any

1:23:45.920 --> 1:23:50.000
<v Speaker 1>of that if, in fact you didn't think that they

1:23:50.040 --> 1:23:53.479
<v Speaker 1>were people worthy of those things, because they're a party

1:23:53.560 --> 1:23:57.400
<v Speaker 1>of neo Nazis, white nationalists all these things. I mean

1:23:57.479 --> 1:24:00.800
<v Speaker 1>that the big lies they're telling here about the right,

1:24:02.000 --> 1:24:05.920
<v Speaker 1>about conservatives, about the Republican Party, the lies they tell,

1:24:06.320 --> 1:24:10.360
<v Speaker 1>the exaggerations they rely on, are useful to them. Do not,

1:24:11.160 --> 1:24:15.280
<v Speaker 1>do not, do not. Forget that. And you are gonna

1:24:15.320 --> 1:24:20.240
<v Speaker 1>be bombarded with lies from the press for the next

1:24:20.240 --> 1:24:22.680
<v Speaker 1>four years because they're gonna say whatever they have to

1:24:22.680 --> 1:24:25.719
<v Speaker 1>say to back up this Biden administration. That's never gonna change.

1:24:25.760 --> 1:24:28.839
<v Speaker 1>What's funny about this, of course, you've got Smarmye Smurf.

1:24:28.840 --> 1:24:30.519
<v Speaker 1>You guys, remember if you listen to the show years

1:24:30.520 --> 1:24:33.880
<v Speaker 1>ago and we had Smarmie Smurf, Jay Carty. Hey have

1:24:34.040 --> 1:24:36.479
<v Speaker 1>Jay Carty Sparbie Spurf. He sounds a little bit like

1:24:36.520 --> 1:24:39.200
<v Speaker 1>Brian Stelter, But we don't need to we don't need

1:24:39.240 --> 1:24:42.040
<v Speaker 1>to compare bucks impersonations of the two. Stelter's a little

1:24:42.040 --> 1:24:44.720
<v Speaker 1>bit dad here, s Barbie Smurf is more up here.

1:24:45.760 --> 1:24:50.920
<v Speaker 1>But you had Jake Carty saying, how how bide this

1:24:51.080 --> 1:24:54.240
<v Speaker 1>Biden administration? It's gonna be all about the honesty, all

1:24:54.280 --> 1:25:00.320
<v Speaker 1>about the integrity play it. The administration telegraph very early, Uh,

1:25:00.439 --> 1:25:02.840
<v Speaker 1>this is how they were going to be honest and

1:25:02.880 --> 1:25:06.439
<v Speaker 1>truthful instead of spinning about it's you know, today Joe

1:25:06.439 --> 1:25:09.200
<v Speaker 1>Biden's president, tomorrow COVID's you know, the beginning of the

1:25:09.280 --> 1:25:11.120
<v Speaker 1>end is near. They've been very clear that it's going

1:25:11.160 --> 1:25:12.960
<v Speaker 1>to get worse before it gets better. And I think

1:25:13.240 --> 1:25:17.320
<v Speaker 1>you begin to make deposits in the integrity bank when

1:25:17.400 --> 1:25:19.680
<v Speaker 1>you when you're honest with the press and therefore the

1:25:19.680 --> 1:25:21.439
<v Speaker 1>people and I and I was glad to see that,

1:25:21.479 --> 1:25:23.920
<v Speaker 1>and I know we're going to see more of it. Yeah,

1:25:23.960 --> 1:25:26.479
<v Speaker 1>it's just going to be all all truthy stuff from

1:25:26.720 --> 1:25:31.040
<v Speaker 1>Joe Biden. Sure, a lot of truth stuff coming out

1:25:31.040 --> 1:25:36.480
<v Speaker 1>from the Biden administration. You're also seeing that Jensaki is

1:25:36.680 --> 1:25:40.320
<v Speaker 1>good at this job. Why exactly how is she a

1:25:40.439 --> 1:25:47.040
<v Speaker 1>particularly effective communicator? Um, that's that's what I would That's

1:25:47.040 --> 1:25:49.080
<v Speaker 1>what I would say. How is she an effective communicator?

1:25:49.439 --> 1:25:52.599
<v Speaker 1>I would ask that question. And how is the Biden

1:25:52.600 --> 1:25:56.240
<v Speaker 1>administration going to handle the continued influence of the left

1:25:56.360 --> 1:25:58.040
<v Speaker 1>during all of this, I mean the real left, the

1:25:58.080 --> 1:26:02.280
<v Speaker 1>socialist left. Remember that the socialist left that it still

1:26:02.320 --> 1:26:04.960
<v Speaker 1>has big designs what they want to do for the country. Well,

1:26:05.000 --> 1:26:08.640
<v Speaker 1>here's what Bernie Sanders is saying about how the agenda

1:26:08.880 --> 1:26:13.080
<v Speaker 1>is in fact, very much. It's still alive for Democrats

1:26:13.200 --> 1:26:15.240
<v Speaker 1>on the socialists left, and they've even got a plan

1:26:15.280 --> 1:26:17.360
<v Speaker 1>for how they're going to do some of this. Play eight. Well,

1:26:17.400 --> 1:26:19.360
<v Speaker 1>the devil is in the details about what we want

1:26:19.400 --> 1:26:21.240
<v Speaker 1>to do and when we want to do it, and

1:26:21.280 --> 1:26:23.360
<v Speaker 1>when we have to do it. What we are talking about,

1:26:23.400 --> 1:26:27.080
<v Speaker 1>by the way, are two separate reconciliation packages. Number one,

1:26:27.160 --> 1:26:30.760
<v Speaker 1>the emergency one right now, right get direct checks. Get

1:26:30.800 --> 1:26:33.680
<v Speaker 1>those checks into people's pockets right now so they can

1:26:33.680 --> 1:26:36.040
<v Speaker 1>feed their families and make sure that people are not

1:26:36.080 --> 1:26:38.360
<v Speaker 1>evicted from their own to make sure that states have

1:26:38.479 --> 1:26:41.240
<v Speaker 1>the funds they need to get vaccines into people's lives.

1:26:41.360 --> 1:26:43.280
<v Speaker 1>That's what we've got to do right now. And then

1:26:43.320 --> 1:26:45.880
<v Speaker 1>as soon as that is done, we have to rebuild

1:26:45.880 --> 1:26:49.400
<v Speaker 1>this economy. Unemployment is much much too high, wages are

1:26:49.520 --> 1:26:52.600
<v Speaker 1>much much too low. There are structural problems that we

1:26:52.680 --> 1:26:56.040
<v Speaker 1>have had, we have ignored for years. Climate change is

1:26:56.080 --> 1:26:58.599
<v Speaker 1>a really you're okay doing all of that through this

1:26:58.680 --> 1:27:01.360
<v Speaker 1>process that you criticize for Republicans for using. These are

1:27:01.479 --> 1:27:04.720
<v Speaker 1>major policy changes. These are major policy changes. But the

1:27:04.800 --> 1:27:07.920
<v Speaker 1>devil is in the details, and I criticize Republicans, yeah,

1:27:07.960 --> 1:27:11.200
<v Speaker 1>for using reconciliation to give tax breaks to billionaires to

1:27:11.280 --> 1:27:14.800
<v Speaker 1>create a situation with large profitable corporations now pay zero

1:27:14.880 --> 1:27:17.559
<v Speaker 1>in federal income taxes. Yes, I did criticize them for that.

1:27:17.680 --> 1:27:19.960
<v Speaker 1>And if they want to criticize me for helping to

1:27:20.040 --> 1:27:22.880
<v Speaker 1>feed children who are hungry, was seeing the citizens in

1:27:22.880 --> 1:27:25.599
<v Speaker 1>this country are isolated and alone and don't have enough food,

1:27:25.680 --> 1:27:28.360
<v Speaker 1>they can criticize me. I think it's the appropriate step forward.

1:27:29.240 --> 1:27:32.000
<v Speaker 1>Whatever I need to do, I'm going to do. They

1:27:32.040 --> 1:27:35.599
<v Speaker 1>could criticize me for trying to feed children. Go ahead,

1:27:38.000 --> 1:27:41.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, yeah, that's right, Bernie. The only problem we

1:27:41.360 --> 1:27:44.040
<v Speaker 1>have we just don't want socialist Bernie feeding the children.

1:27:44.760 --> 1:27:46.759
<v Speaker 1>What do I always tell you, what's one of bucks

1:27:46.800 --> 1:27:50.200
<v Speaker 1>rules or politicians. Never trust a politician when they say

1:27:50.240 --> 1:27:54.120
<v Speaker 1>it's for your safety or it's for the children, don't

1:27:54.120 --> 1:27:57.840
<v Speaker 1>trust them. It's a rule one you should not, one

1:27:57.880 --> 1:28:01.320
<v Speaker 1>you should not. Let's slip out of your mind easily.

1:28:01.400 --> 1:28:03.680
<v Speaker 1>It's an important rule anytime they say it's for your

1:28:03.720 --> 1:28:06.360
<v Speaker 1>safety or it's for your children, for the children, not

1:28:06.400 --> 1:28:08.400
<v Speaker 1>even your children, because you know more about your children

1:28:08.400 --> 1:28:11.480
<v Speaker 1>than they do for the children in general, the collective.

1:28:12.720 --> 1:28:16.879
<v Speaker 1>But Bernie, Bernie's gonna see openings here and more radical

1:28:16.920 --> 1:28:21.760
<v Speaker 1>socialist policy is gonna happen through this bid administration. They're

1:28:21.800 --> 1:28:24.719
<v Speaker 1>just gonna come up with ways to call it different things.

1:28:24.760 --> 1:28:31.080
<v Speaker 1>They're they're gonna have, you know, preferred socialist nomenclature shifting right.

1:28:31.080 --> 1:28:33.599
<v Speaker 1>They're gonna say it's something else. This is a oh,

1:28:33.720 --> 1:28:38.960
<v Speaker 1>we're not redistributing wealth, we're just making adjustments against the

1:28:39.040 --> 1:28:41.080
<v Speaker 1>super rich or something. They're gonna come up with ways

1:28:41.479 --> 1:28:44.000
<v Speaker 1>to make it sound like they're not doing what they're doing.

1:28:44.560 --> 1:28:47.480
<v Speaker 1>Get ready for it. You can guarant I can guarantee

1:28:47.479 --> 1:28:51.240
<v Speaker 1>you this is gonna happen. You're listening to the Fuck

1:28:51.320 --> 1:28:54.639
<v Speaker 1>Sexton Show podcast. Make sure you subscribe to the podcast

1:28:54.680 --> 1:28:58.040

1:29:00.120 --> 1:29:12.040
<v Speaker 1>Team Buck, it's time for roll Call. I feel like

1:29:12.080 --> 1:29:14.280
<v Speaker 1>our role call. Spruce and Mark have more of a

1:29:14.280 --> 1:29:16.479
<v Speaker 1>almost like a zoot suit riot kind of feel. You

1:29:16.479 --> 1:29:18.680
<v Speaker 1>remember the unity that was probably before your time, but

1:29:19.439 --> 1:29:22.120
<v Speaker 1>I get what you mean. There's definitely a different feeling. Yeah,

1:29:22.120 --> 1:29:25.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, but there was that period where where swing

1:29:25.360 --> 1:29:28.880
<v Speaker 1>dance kind of came back into into focus and people

1:29:28.880 --> 1:29:34.000
<v Speaker 1>were all excited about that. So, yeah, that's something that

1:29:34.040 --> 1:29:35.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm hearing a little bit of of our tunes. Why

1:29:35.640 --> 1:29:37.439
<v Speaker 1>don't you tell everybody before we hear it, before we

1:29:37.640 --> 1:29:39.840
<v Speaker 1>dive into the roll call? How is the producer Mark Weekend?

1:29:39.840 --> 1:29:42.760
<v Speaker 1>How is the football watching? It was very good, two

1:29:42.920 --> 1:29:45.080
<v Speaker 1>very good conference championship teams. I think we'll have a

1:29:45.080 --> 1:29:47.640
<v Speaker 1>fine super Bowl. Who is in the Super Bowl? You

1:29:47.640 --> 1:29:51.640
<v Speaker 1>don't have a clue, do you? Nope, it's the Buccaneers

1:29:51.680 --> 1:29:55.280
<v Speaker 1>and the Chiefs. So the legendary old quarterback and the

1:29:55.360 --> 1:29:58.760
<v Speaker 1>legendary new quarterback facing I actually might watch the Super Bowl. Then.

1:29:58.840 --> 1:30:02.960
<v Speaker 1>That sounds like an interesting story. Tom Brady the greatest

1:30:03.000 --> 1:30:05.719
<v Speaker 1>quarterback of his generation? Is there really any argument about

1:30:05.760 --> 1:30:08.760
<v Speaker 1>that at this point? No, he's the greatest quarterback of

1:30:08.800 --> 1:30:11.240
<v Speaker 1>all time. I think we can safely say that at

1:30:11.240 --> 1:30:14.840
<v Speaker 1>this point. Wow, number one all time. Before him, it

1:30:14.840 --> 1:30:19.400
<v Speaker 1>would have probably been what Joe Montana? Yeah, probably Montana,

1:30:19.920 --> 1:30:21.840
<v Speaker 1>And the argument can still be made, But I mean

1:30:22.360 --> 1:30:24.679
<v Speaker 1>this would be I think his seventh super Bowl. He's

1:30:24.720 --> 1:30:28.360
<v Speaker 1>made forty percent of Super bowls since he entered the league.

1:30:29.640 --> 1:30:32.360
<v Speaker 1>That's a pretty astounding stat Yeah. How good were the

1:30:32.400 --> 1:30:36.400
<v Speaker 1>Bucks before they got Brady? I mean they had a

1:30:36.400 --> 1:30:39.040
<v Speaker 1>decent surrounding team. They just didn't have a quarterback. He's

1:30:39.080 --> 1:30:43.200
<v Speaker 1>the difference. So the piece here to like Tom Brady

1:30:43.280 --> 1:30:45.479
<v Speaker 1>was clearly it's not like he came onto a you know,

1:30:45.800 --> 1:30:47.360
<v Speaker 1>a super team. See. I hate when they do that

1:30:47.400 --> 1:30:49.680
<v Speaker 1>in basketball. I do know enough about basketball that you

1:30:49.720 --> 1:30:53.360
<v Speaker 1>know Lebron going to the Lakers. It's like, no, you know,

1:30:53.400 --> 1:30:55.760
<v Speaker 1>it's cool when you stay at the Cleveland Cavaliers and

1:30:55.800 --> 1:30:58.200
<v Speaker 1>you build a dynasty and a franchise and you're you

1:30:58.280 --> 1:31:00.240
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean. I don't in the end, BA,

1:31:00.320 --> 1:31:02.840
<v Speaker 1>they people love the top players, love to join other

1:31:02.920 --> 1:31:05.679
<v Speaker 1>top players to create these super teams. I just don't

1:31:05.680 --> 1:31:08.160
<v Speaker 1>think that's as interesting. Yeah, I don't. That's one of

1:31:08.200 --> 1:31:09.960
<v Speaker 1>my groups with the NBA has always been as there's

1:31:10.040 --> 1:31:12.840
<v Speaker 1>like five teams that could win the championship and nobody

1:31:12.840 --> 1:31:17.679
<v Speaker 1>cares about the rest of them. Yeah. Yeah, So anyway,

1:31:17.680 --> 1:31:19.000
<v Speaker 1>so it was a good game though. That's good. Yeah,

1:31:19.000 --> 1:31:21.000
<v Speaker 1>there were two good games. I enjoyed my weekend. How

1:31:21.080 --> 1:31:27.400
<v Speaker 1>was Florida, Oh, producer Mark I got sun. I had fun.

1:31:28.280 --> 1:31:31.040
<v Speaker 1>I was walking around in flip flops. It was very nice.

1:31:31.520 --> 1:31:34.720
<v Speaker 1>It sounds lovely. Florida is a very nice place. I

1:31:34.760 --> 1:31:38.320
<v Speaker 1>gotta say it's a thing we should consider setting up,

1:31:38.720 --> 1:31:42.599
<v Speaker 1>setting up for you know, big time. Yeah, I think

1:31:42.640 --> 1:31:44.760
<v Speaker 1>I think that's I think that's the new that's where

1:31:44.800 --> 1:31:47.639
<v Speaker 1>the that's where the conservative movement that's leaving the Blue

1:31:47.680 --> 1:31:49.599
<v Speaker 1>States is also gonna do. People are just gonna pile

1:31:49.640 --> 1:31:52.639
<v Speaker 1>into it because you got great weather, no state income tax,

1:31:52.840 --> 1:31:55.559
<v Speaker 1>great gun laws. I mean, not quite as good as

1:31:55.560 --> 1:31:57.240
<v Speaker 1>maybe a last gun a few other but really so,

1:31:57.439 --> 1:32:00.200
<v Speaker 1>but really pretty solid solid gun laws. Easy you get

1:32:00.200 --> 1:32:03.559
<v Speaker 1>a concealed carry permit. Uh, you know, there's a lot

1:32:03.560 --> 1:32:05.840
<v Speaker 1>of upside. I would love us too. I would love

1:32:05.880 --> 1:32:09.320
<v Speaker 1>conservatives that to take over what's essentially a major city there,

1:32:09.840 --> 1:32:13.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, whether it's Tampa or Jacksonville, and make it

1:32:14.160 --> 1:32:17.320
<v Speaker 1>make it a kind of red state mecca, you know,

1:32:17.400 --> 1:32:21.599
<v Speaker 1>make it a gathering point for the for people that

1:32:21.600 --> 1:32:24.360
<v Speaker 1>that view the world away that that conservatives do, and

1:32:24.479 --> 1:32:27.160
<v Speaker 1>show what that would mean for an actual city, because

1:32:27.160 --> 1:32:30.240
<v Speaker 1>we have no cities on no cities on the right

1:32:30.320 --> 1:32:33.240
<v Speaker 1>right now. It's just not not a good scene anyway. Yeah,

1:32:33.400 --> 1:32:36.160
<v Speaker 1>Florida was great. Food was great. Are you a Cevich guy?

1:32:37.360 --> 1:32:40.200
<v Speaker 1>Is that rough fish? Yeah? No, I'm not a rough

1:32:40.200 --> 1:32:42.639
<v Speaker 1>fish guy. Didn't think so. I had such good Cevich.

1:32:43.080 --> 1:32:44.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm the guy who goes to a sushi place and

1:32:44.920 --> 1:32:48.479
<v Speaker 1>only orders the cooked rolls. Yeah, yep, yep, yep. Man.

1:32:48.640 --> 1:32:50.479
<v Speaker 1>Now the food and florid food and Florida was great,

1:32:50.520 --> 1:32:53.800
<v Speaker 1>people were great. Nothing but nothing but upside down there

1:32:53.800 --> 1:32:58.040
<v Speaker 1>with the snow princess. So I got, I got umbrella drinks,

1:32:58.120 --> 1:33:02.080
<v Speaker 1>bikini's warm weather freedom. It was amazing. What kind of

1:33:02.080 --> 1:33:05.360
<v Speaker 1>bikini were you wearing? Well, wouldn't you like to know?

1:33:06.200 --> 1:33:10.720
<v Speaker 1>All right? Tj um, I'm actually I'm a what do

1:33:10.760 --> 1:33:14.439
<v Speaker 1>you call it? Um? I? One day I'll have to

1:33:14.520 --> 1:33:16.800
<v Speaker 1>rock the speedo. You know that, you know those things.

1:33:16.880 --> 1:33:19.519
<v Speaker 1>That's a terrible mental image. I see a few, a

1:33:19.560 --> 1:33:21.920
<v Speaker 1>few guys on the beach still do it. It's occasional,

1:33:21.960 --> 1:33:23.840
<v Speaker 1>but you will see it. You know. They're also half

1:33:23.880 --> 1:33:30.040
<v Speaker 1>your age. Yeah, also true, but bold. It's a bold move.

1:33:30.520 --> 1:33:32.880
<v Speaker 1>It is a bold move to go with the speedo. Hey,

1:33:32.960 --> 1:33:34.760
<v Speaker 1>if I had the body to rock one, I would,

1:33:34.880 --> 1:33:37.960
<v Speaker 1>But I don't, so I wouldn't. I'm more of a

1:33:39.040 --> 1:33:41.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm more of a like I wish I could wear,

1:33:41.760 --> 1:33:44.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, oversized boxers to go swimming in. You know

1:33:44.320 --> 1:33:46.799
<v Speaker 1>what I mean? That would be nice something to basically

1:33:46.800 --> 1:33:51.080
<v Speaker 1>what stim swim trunks are. Yeah, I guess pretty much. Yeah.

1:33:51.120 --> 1:33:53.800
<v Speaker 1>I never liked the mesh lining. I'm always I'm not.

1:33:53.880 --> 1:33:55.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't like the mesh lining, but you know I

1:33:55.840 --> 1:33:59.160
<v Speaker 1>get it, all right, t J. Kicking us off here,

1:33:59.200 --> 1:34:03.519
<v Speaker 1>getting us from talking about am I allowed to say

1:34:03.560 --> 1:34:06.719
<v Speaker 1>banana hammock on the radio? You just did? And yes, listen,

1:34:07.360 --> 1:34:10.519
<v Speaker 1>those are two appropriate words. I believe I can say that.

1:34:10.680 --> 1:34:12.640
<v Speaker 1>That's an I believe that is a slang term for

1:34:12.720 --> 1:34:15.720
<v Speaker 1>a speedo or that form of bathing suit. Oh no,

1:34:15.800 --> 1:34:18.320
<v Speaker 1>that is an extreme banana hammock is a lot different.

1:34:20.320 --> 1:34:22.720
<v Speaker 1>Is it? Just google it? I can't explain. There's a

1:34:23.160 --> 1:34:29.040
<v Speaker 1>character from the TV show Scrubs on forgetting his name

1:34:29.080 --> 1:34:32.200
<v Speaker 1>off the top of my head, but he only wore

1:34:32.200 --> 1:34:35.160
<v Speaker 1>banana hammocks is like a running gag and eventually ABC

1:34:35.320 --> 1:34:37.200
<v Speaker 1>made him stop doing it because it was so much

1:34:37.200 --> 1:34:41.320
<v Speaker 1>a decent exposure. So it's like, actually a form of

1:34:41.840 --> 1:34:44.120
<v Speaker 1>it's a real thing. No, it's a real thing, but

1:34:44.200 --> 1:34:48.400
<v Speaker 1>it is a it is not something for the prude

1:34:49.080 --> 1:34:52.880
<v Speaker 1>kind of person. I learned something new every day on

1:34:52.960 --> 1:34:57.000
<v Speaker 1>this show, all right, t J. Block Conservatives ought to

1:34:57.040 --> 1:34:59.760
<v Speaker 1>implement a strategy of Catholic guilt for the next four years.

1:35:00.360 --> 1:35:02.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't know about you, but nothing gets at me

1:35:02.360 --> 1:35:04.280
<v Speaker 1>worse than when something I believe in or think to

1:35:04.320 --> 1:35:07.559
<v Speaker 1>be true contradicts the Catholic faith. The media has no

1:35:07.640 --> 1:35:10.200
<v Speaker 1>problem put in Joe's Catholic faith front and center when

1:35:10.240 --> 1:35:12.840
<v Speaker 1>it suits them. We should return the favor and keep

1:35:12.840 --> 1:35:16.720
<v Speaker 1>it front front and center. Every policy decision, every bill

1:35:16.760 --> 1:35:18.599
<v Speaker 1>he signs ought to be looked at through the prism

1:35:19.040 --> 1:35:21.240
<v Speaker 1>of a Catholic faith and whether or not it aligns

1:35:21.320 --> 1:35:23.720
<v Speaker 1>with the faith. I don't believe we should have a

1:35:23.840 --> 1:35:27.160
<v Speaker 1>theocratic ruler, but the left has no problem telling us

1:35:27.200 --> 1:35:29.280
<v Speaker 1>how good of a Catholic Joe is, so we can

1:35:29.360 --> 1:35:32.360
<v Speaker 1>respond in kind. However, I think this is why devout

1:35:32.400 --> 1:35:35.920
<v Speaker 1>Catholics don't make for good politicians, but excellent judges. Not

1:35:36.040 --> 1:35:38.479
<v Speaker 1>saying Joe's at about Catholic, but considering he's getting up

1:35:38.479 --> 1:35:41.519
<v Speaker 1>there in age. I imagine the Catholic guilt weighs heavily

1:35:41.560 --> 1:35:43.280
<v Speaker 1>on his soul at times, and we ought to remind

1:35:43.360 --> 1:35:46.439
<v Speaker 1>him of it. TJ. Sounds like you think the dogma

1:35:46.479 --> 1:35:51.760
<v Speaker 1>may live meekly within Joe Biden, not loudly, and that

1:35:52.200 --> 1:35:55.840
<v Speaker 1>is certainly the case. Look, American Catholics, of which I

1:35:55.880 --> 1:35:58.800
<v Speaker 1>would have to I would call myself one. I am

1:35:58.800 --> 1:36:03.920
<v Speaker 1>a Catholic, and Catholics are a strange group politically speaking,

1:36:03.960 --> 1:36:07.240
<v Speaker 1>because so many of them really believe that they're living

1:36:07.240 --> 1:36:09.920
<v Speaker 1>their Catholic faith and that they support Catholic causes, and

1:36:09.960 --> 1:36:13.960
<v Speaker 1>then they go vote for Democrats who are very obviously

1:36:14.120 --> 1:36:18.000
<v Speaker 1>contrary to not not minor, but to core Catholic beliefs.

1:36:19.000 --> 1:36:22.920
<v Speaker 1>So that's that's something that I you know, they have

1:36:22.960 --> 1:36:24.800
<v Speaker 1>other reasons for doing it, but I do think it's

1:36:24.800 --> 1:36:28.720
<v Speaker 1>interesting as that continues to play out. And yeah, I

1:36:28.760 --> 1:36:30.680
<v Speaker 1>mean Catholic Gilford. But the thing is it's not going

1:36:30.720 --> 1:36:34.639
<v Speaker 1>to work on Biden TJ. That's the problem. Biden doesn't care.

1:36:34.680 --> 1:36:36.920
<v Speaker 1>Biden cares about power. Biden cares about what works and

1:36:36.920 --> 1:36:39.360
<v Speaker 1>how he wins, and everything else is just just noise,

1:36:39.479 --> 1:36:43.320
<v Speaker 1>just a distraction. Dave. Next up, Beer, Hey Buck. I

1:36:43.400 --> 1:36:48.000
<v Speaker 1>have a customer in Fredericksburg that runs a retired greyhound program.

1:36:48.080 --> 1:36:51.000
<v Speaker 1>They don't like to call them rescues, they prefer retired.

1:36:51.640 --> 1:36:53.240
<v Speaker 1>The first time I was at their home, they had

1:36:53.280 --> 1:36:55.679
<v Speaker 1>about ten of them in their living room on bean bags.

1:36:55.960 --> 1:36:58.880
<v Speaker 1>One of the craziest things I've ever seen. Apparently there's

1:36:58.880 --> 1:37:02.200
<v Speaker 1>a retired greyhound community that basically babysit them for each

1:37:02.240 --> 1:37:06.200
<v Speaker 1>other because they prefer to be around other greyhounds, and

1:37:06.240 --> 1:37:08.800
<v Speaker 1>they have been competing against each other. They had a

1:37:08.840 --> 1:37:11.360
<v Speaker 1>fenced in backyard. When she opened the back door, they

1:37:11.360 --> 1:37:13.479
<v Speaker 1>all ran out and started a race around the backyard.

1:37:13.479 --> 1:37:16.680
<v Speaker 1>It was awesome. Just like horses, they're athletes and they

1:37:16.720 --> 1:37:20.080
<v Speaker 1>definitely understand competition and naturally want to win. Anyway, I

1:37:20.080 --> 1:37:22.160
<v Speaker 1>thought you'd enjoy that. Dogs are the best, love the show,

1:37:22.240 --> 1:37:24.320
<v Speaker 1>keep up the grind, you're a pro. Well, Dave, thanks

1:37:24.320 --> 1:37:27.360
<v Speaker 1>so much, and yeah, that's that's cool. I didn't know

1:37:27.400 --> 1:37:31.320
<v Speaker 1>that's what they call them, retired retired greyhound. I just

1:37:31.439 --> 1:37:33.800
<v Speaker 1>just something. I just see. There's a future in my

1:37:33.840 --> 1:37:36.840
<v Speaker 1>head where Producer Mark is like chomping on a coheba

1:37:36.960 --> 1:37:41.560
<v Speaker 1>with a what do you call those those hats, a

1:37:41.680 --> 1:37:44.600
<v Speaker 1>fedora with a coheba and one of those sort of

1:37:44.640 --> 1:37:48.439
<v Speaker 1>havana shirts on at the race track with a big

1:37:48.439 --> 1:37:51.040
<v Speaker 1>fruity drink in his hand, living the floor to life.

1:37:51.080 --> 1:37:53.080
<v Speaker 1>You know, Producer Mark, I see that for you down

1:37:53.120 --> 1:37:54.680
<v Speaker 1>the line. I mean I could see all of that,

1:37:54.720 --> 1:37:58.439
<v Speaker 1>but without the greyhound track. Why why I could have

1:37:58.479 --> 1:38:01.479
<v Speaker 1>a pool in my backyard. Yeah, but you know you

1:38:01.479 --> 1:38:03.120
<v Speaker 1>want to you want to bet on the ponies, bet

1:38:03.120 --> 1:38:05.639
<v Speaker 1>on the bet on the doggies. No, no, I would

1:38:05.680 --> 1:38:09.679
<v Speaker 1>adopt one, not bating race. There we see Mark Mark

1:38:09.680 --> 1:38:11.679
<v Speaker 1>Why Mark doesn't want to play bets and he wants

1:38:11.680 --> 1:38:14.799
<v Speaker 1>to help retire one of them. Exactly. Greyhounds are sweet

1:38:14.800 --> 1:38:17.759
<v Speaker 1>dogs too. They're really really they're they're they're amazing creatures.

1:38:17.760 --> 1:38:20.519
<v Speaker 1>It just it shows you. Yeah, they're well, you know,

1:38:20.520 --> 1:38:24.040
<v Speaker 1>they make many ones too, make like it don't come

1:38:24.080 --> 1:38:27.280
<v Speaker 1>out of a factory. They they they breed and raise

1:38:28.040 --> 1:38:31.160
<v Speaker 1>very small greyhounds as well. But the full size racing

1:38:31.240 --> 1:38:34.080
<v Speaker 1>greyhounds are You're right, they're large. They're large. They're not heavy,

1:38:34.080 --> 1:38:37.440
<v Speaker 1>but they're big. Yeah, they're lanky, they're like tall and lanky. Yeah.

1:38:37.439 --> 1:38:39.280
<v Speaker 1>Well there's I said, there's one that lives on my floor.

1:38:39.400 --> 1:38:42.280
<v Speaker 1>Beautiful dog, beautiful dog in a total sweetheart and yeah,

1:38:42.320 --> 1:38:44.439
<v Speaker 1>look I love dogs. I'll say one thing about being

1:38:44.439 --> 1:38:47.040
<v Speaker 1>in Florida was that I missed my parents dog to

1:38:47.120 --> 1:38:49.599
<v Speaker 1>Lula the Frenchiet because I didn't have her anymore, because

1:38:49.600 --> 1:38:51.720
<v Speaker 1>I gave them back while I was gone. But My

1:38:51.800 --> 1:38:56.120
<v Speaker 1>two brothers both have dogs. My brother Mason has a

1:38:56.120 --> 1:39:00.400
<v Speaker 1>Pomeranian that's a rescue. The Pomeranian he was old, was

1:39:00.439 --> 1:39:03.600
<v Speaker 1>found in an alleyway in Austin, Texas. So he's a

1:39:03.640 --> 1:39:07.800
<v Speaker 1>he's a Texas dog and he's a Pomeranian. And my

1:39:07.880 --> 1:39:11.760
<v Speaker 1>other brother just got from Salt Lake City, Utah. What's up,

1:39:11.840 --> 1:39:14.519
<v Speaker 1>knrs salt Lake City From Salt Lake City, Utah. My

1:39:14.520 --> 1:39:16.360
<v Speaker 1>brother just picked up a member of his family. My

1:39:16.400 --> 1:39:19.200
<v Speaker 1>brother Keats, like the poet, not Keith. Everyone always gets

1:39:19.240 --> 1:39:24.400
<v Speaker 1>it confused. My brother Keats got a a multi poo,

1:39:24.920 --> 1:39:27.880
<v Speaker 1>which is a multi smix with a miniature poodle, and

1:39:28.040 --> 1:39:30.160
<v Speaker 1>her name is Lila And I got to play with

1:39:30.200 --> 1:39:32.240
<v Speaker 1>both of them down in Florida a lot. And Lilah

1:39:32.439 --> 1:39:37.040
<v Speaker 1>is two months old and absolutely adorable, absolutely amazing. And

1:39:37.160 --> 1:39:39.519
<v Speaker 1>producer Mark, you're like this. So I'm out to dinner

1:39:39.520 --> 1:39:43.320
<v Speaker 1>with my brothers and my brother's fiance and you know,

1:39:43.560 --> 1:39:45.960
<v Speaker 1>my brother's girlfriend, and I'm sitting there and it's me

1:39:46.080 --> 1:39:50.240
<v Speaker 1>the snow Princess, and we're hanging out and my brothers.

1:39:50.240 --> 1:39:53.360
<v Speaker 1>My little brother's fiance says, watch this, and she pulls

1:39:53.439 --> 1:39:56.519
<v Speaker 1>up her phone. They have like a doggye cam up

1:39:57.240 --> 1:39:59.479
<v Speaker 1>where she can speak to the dog, and the dog

1:39:59.600 --> 1:40:02.400
<v Speaker 1>record nises her voice, so she says, you know, hey,

1:40:02.479 --> 1:40:04.719
<v Speaker 1>Lilah and the dog. He gets all excited for a second,

1:40:05.040 --> 1:40:08.479
<v Speaker 1>and then she fires off with a button a treat

1:40:08.800 --> 1:40:10.960
<v Speaker 1>that comes out of like a little treat dispenser for

1:40:11.000 --> 1:40:13.680
<v Speaker 1>the puppy once she's gone. Yeah, I've seen those. One

1:40:13.720 --> 1:40:17.320
<v Speaker 1>of the best inventions ever. It's amazing. Yeah, it's amazing.

1:40:17.960 --> 1:40:20.640
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's like firing off treats, you know, so

1:40:20.720 --> 1:40:22.720
<v Speaker 1>the dog feels like it's got a little more interaction

1:40:22.760 --> 1:40:26.559
<v Speaker 1>and you don't have to worry about it the same way.

1:40:27.040 --> 1:40:30.439
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, I'm just saying I think it's cool. All right,

1:40:30.600 --> 1:40:35.120
<v Speaker 1>back into a back into the mix here, Nathan, Hey

1:40:35.160 --> 1:40:37.920
<v Speaker 1>Buck love the show, Nathan, the show loves you. Are

1:40:37.920 --> 1:40:40.000
<v Speaker 1>we sure we want term limits for the right reasons.

1:40:40.280 --> 1:40:43.080
<v Speaker 1>We all want the career politicians out, but what about ours?

1:40:43.320 --> 1:40:46.120
<v Speaker 1>Or we want their career politicians out, but what about ours?

1:40:46.560 --> 1:40:48.879
<v Speaker 1>That means no more Ted Cruise, no more Mitch McConnell.

1:40:49.200 --> 1:40:51.439
<v Speaker 1>We'd basically be saying you're getting fired no matter what

1:40:51.479 --> 1:40:55.000
<v Speaker 1>you do, do whatever you want. We wouldn't have anyone's

1:40:55.120 --> 1:40:57.240
<v Speaker 1>any more voting records to look at and keep the

1:40:57.240 --> 1:40:59.680
<v Speaker 1>ones we like and the votes out. Wait, sorry, we

1:40:59.720 --> 1:41:01.479
<v Speaker 1>would to look at and keep the one we like

1:41:01.600 --> 1:41:04.320
<v Speaker 1>and vote out the ones we don't. You're an inspiration

1:41:04.400 --> 1:41:07.280
<v Speaker 1>of wartime conservatism. Shield side well, Nathan, I try man.

1:41:07.320 --> 1:41:09.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm doing my absolute best here, and thank you so

1:41:09.240 --> 1:41:14.479
<v Speaker 1>much for the kind words. And as for as for

1:41:14.600 --> 1:41:17.680
<v Speaker 1>career politicians, you know, I think I think if we

1:41:17.720 --> 1:41:21.040
<v Speaker 1>could have you know, three or four terms of Ted Cruz,

1:41:21.080 --> 1:41:23.800
<v Speaker 1>I think that's enough. Even for Ted Cruz, I think

1:41:23.800 --> 1:41:25.920
<v Speaker 1>we you know, three three terms of Mitch McConnell. I

1:41:25.920 --> 1:41:28.960
<v Speaker 1>think twenty years, you're good. That's a whole career. Right,

1:41:29.040 --> 1:41:31.200
<v Speaker 1>Some people work twenty years in retire, although not these

1:41:31.240 --> 1:41:34.559
<v Speaker 1>days anymore. Um. Maybe if you're in a really really

1:41:34.560 --> 1:41:36.599
<v Speaker 1>strong union, right, producer Mark, if you're in a really

1:41:36.640 --> 1:41:40.040
<v Speaker 1>good union, maybe you're twenty and done. Yeah that's about it. Yeah,

1:41:40.800 --> 1:41:43.680
<v Speaker 1>really well in the stock market maybe bitcoin you're not

1:41:43.720 --> 1:41:47.719
<v Speaker 1>done after twenty But at twenty years is basically a career.

1:41:47.840 --> 1:41:50.280
<v Speaker 1>So I think that, you know, the same way you

1:41:50.320 --> 1:41:53.240
<v Speaker 1>have age limits which are kind of arbitrary for hire all.

1:41:53.240 --> 1:41:55.240
<v Speaker 1>I know they're in the constitution, but they were arbitrary

1:41:55.280 --> 1:41:57.920
<v Speaker 1>choices made when they're put in the Constitution. Also at

1:41:57.920 --> 1:42:00.680
<v Speaker 1>a time when human life expectancy was much lower than

1:42:00.720 --> 1:42:03.880
<v Speaker 1>it is right now. Overall, I think you could also

1:42:03.960 --> 1:42:08.160
<v Speaker 1>have you could also have put in place term limits

1:42:08.200 --> 1:42:11.040
<v Speaker 1>that would allow people to have a long and productive

1:42:11.040 --> 1:42:13.639
<v Speaker 1>career in politics, but not have a lifetime in politics.

1:42:13.680 --> 1:42:18.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean, Joe Biden has been in politics too long.

1:42:18.680 --> 1:42:20.559
<v Speaker 1>And that's just the Mottom line. We could talk about

1:42:20.560 --> 1:42:22.200
<v Speaker 1>this stuff as much as want. He's been in politics

1:42:22.280 --> 1:42:25.479
<v Speaker 1>too long. It's time for fresh blood. It's time for younger,

1:42:26.400 --> 1:42:29.320
<v Speaker 1>younger people who have a different approach. And that's true

1:42:29.360 --> 1:42:33.160
<v Speaker 1>a lot. It's true, Nancy Pelosi. Maybe it's true. Mitch McConnell.

1:42:33.200 --> 1:42:35.640
<v Speaker 1>You know, I mean, see this, and you know to

1:42:35.840 --> 1:42:38.040
<v Speaker 1>term limits, there's a lot of arbitrary in this because

1:42:38.040 --> 1:42:39.679
<v Speaker 1>if you look at term limits, well what about terms

1:42:39.680 --> 1:42:41.599
<v Speaker 1>in the first place. Why is a congressional term too,

1:42:41.600 --> 1:42:45.080
<v Speaker 1>but a Senate term six? I know it's in the Constitution,

1:42:45.360 --> 1:42:47.320
<v Speaker 1>but I'm saying those were just decisions made by the

1:42:47.360 --> 1:42:50.439
<v Speaker 1>founder that are by their very nature. It's like the

1:42:50.479 --> 1:42:54.800
<v Speaker 1>borders between US states. There's an arbitrary they just sort

1:42:54.840 --> 1:42:56.639
<v Speaker 1>of have to draw a line, so they draw a line.

1:42:57.280 --> 1:42:59.400
<v Speaker 1>So I don't think it's that strange for us to

1:42:59.680 --> 1:43:01.880
<v Speaker 1>push term limits. I think we could do it in

1:43:01.920 --> 1:43:04.080
<v Speaker 1>a way that would be really productive. But I'm also

1:43:04.120 --> 1:43:06.719
<v Speaker 1>a realist, and I know that the people who would

1:43:06.720 --> 1:43:08.680
<v Speaker 1>have to vote for term limits are the people who

1:43:08.680 --> 1:43:10.760
<v Speaker 1>don't want them because they want to stay in office

1:43:10.800 --> 1:43:14.240
<v Speaker 1>as long as they want to stay in office. This

1:43:14.640 --> 1:43:19.480
<v Speaker 1>is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Follow Buck on Facebook, Instagram,

1:43:19.640 --> 1:43:23.720
<v Speaker 1>and Twitter. All right, more roll called here? Jim next up? Hey,

1:43:23.720 --> 1:43:26.200
<v Speaker 1>Buck and Mark. Just wondering what happens to hard working

1:43:26.200 --> 1:43:29.400
<v Speaker 1>Americans like me when the minimum wage is fifteen dollars

1:43:29.439 --> 1:43:32.040
<v Speaker 1>an hour. I'm a medical laboratory scientist, which is a

1:43:32.120 --> 1:43:34.599
<v Speaker 1>job that has a lot of schooling and license requirements,

1:43:34.600 --> 1:43:37.320
<v Speaker 1>and I make twenty eight dollars an hour. When the

1:43:37.320 --> 1:43:39.960
<v Speaker 1>minimum wage goes to fifteen dollars an hour and everything

1:43:40.000 --> 1:43:44.240
<v Speaker 1>gets more expensive, what happens to people like me? I

1:43:44.360 --> 1:43:46.400
<v Speaker 1>know we aren't going to get a raise to equalize

1:43:46.439 --> 1:43:50.080
<v Speaker 1>the wage and cost of living. Shield high fellow patriots. Yeah, well, Jim,

1:43:50.200 --> 1:43:54.720
<v Speaker 1>that's the problem is all the unintended consequences. I understand

1:43:54.760 --> 1:43:58.280
<v Speaker 1>the emotional appeal, and I agree with the sentiment that

1:43:58.439 --> 1:44:01.840
<v Speaker 1>people who show up and you a job that you know,

1:44:01.880 --> 1:44:05.080
<v Speaker 1>a job that adds value, should be paid well. I

1:44:05.160 --> 1:44:07.759
<v Speaker 1>want workers paid well. I like people to be taken

1:44:07.800 --> 1:44:11.080
<v Speaker 1>care of by their employer, by their their business, whatever

1:44:11.080 --> 1:44:13.280
<v Speaker 1>it may be. But I know that there are limits. Right.

1:44:13.439 --> 1:44:15.080
<v Speaker 1>As much as it would be fun to say everyone

1:44:15.120 --> 1:44:17.639
<v Speaker 1>makes one hundred dollars an hour, you'd bankrupt the vast

1:44:17.680 --> 1:44:20.320
<v Speaker 1>majority of businesses all across the country. I mean probably

1:44:20.400 --> 1:44:23.599
<v Speaker 1>almost all of them. So you can't have that. So

1:44:23.800 --> 1:44:27.080
<v Speaker 1>what is really going on here? What happens when you

1:44:27.160 --> 1:44:33.360
<v Speaker 1>raise the minimum wage? There are those unintended consequences. You

1:44:33.439 --> 1:44:36.040
<v Speaker 1>see that there's a cutback in hours for people. You

1:44:36.080 --> 1:44:38.880
<v Speaker 1>see they'll be jobs lost, and yes, there'll be more

1:44:38.960 --> 1:44:43.120
<v Speaker 1>expensive products. You know that fifteen dollar minimum wage in

1:44:43.320 --> 1:44:47.080
<v Speaker 1>national restaurant chains, for example, would mean that you're you're

1:44:47.120 --> 1:44:48.960
<v Speaker 1>a happy meal. How much is a happy meal right now,

1:44:48.960 --> 1:44:50.640
<v Speaker 1>Producer Mark, I can never eat this stuff because of

1:44:50.640 --> 1:44:53.479
<v Speaker 1>my celiac disease. How much is a happy meal? Roughly?

1:44:53.880 --> 1:44:56.559
<v Speaker 1>I guess around five bucks, around five bush, yeah, five

1:44:56.640 --> 1:44:59.200
<v Speaker 1>six bucks. Your happy meal is going to be eight, nine,

1:44:59.320 --> 1:45:02.160
<v Speaker 1>ten dollars. That's what's gonna happen with a fifteen dollars

1:45:02.160 --> 1:45:04.120
<v Speaker 1>if you're going to keep the same number of employees,

1:45:04.160 --> 1:45:08.160
<v Speaker 1>that's just supplying demand. Basic economics. So what was the

1:45:08.240 --> 1:45:10.439
<v Speaker 1>last time you had a happy meal? I don't know,

1:45:10.479 --> 1:45:13.439
<v Speaker 1>probably when I was nine. Oh wow long oh yeah,

1:45:13.479 --> 1:45:15.519
<v Speaker 1>the happy meals for the kids, right, I'm just thinking, yeah,

1:45:15.520 --> 1:45:17.200
<v Speaker 1>I was, maybebe I should have asked you, like about

1:45:17.240 --> 1:45:19.400
<v Speaker 1>like a number three or like a whopper with whatever.

1:45:19.520 --> 1:45:21.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I don't know. Those are probably like

1:45:21.400 --> 1:45:24.000
<v Speaker 1>eight nine bucks. Yeah, okay, so whatever, So maybe those

1:45:24.040 --> 1:45:25.639
<v Speaker 1>are eight or nine bucks, so the point being they'd

1:45:25.640 --> 1:45:29.000
<v Speaker 1>be more like twelve now. But yeah, I can't. Fast

1:45:29.000 --> 1:45:30.840
<v Speaker 1>food is very very tough for me because even the

1:45:30.880 --> 1:45:36.280
<v Speaker 1>French fries they use a glutinous a glutinous oil, So

1:45:36.320 --> 1:45:38.639
<v Speaker 1>I can't even have the French fries, which is sad

1:45:38.680 --> 1:45:41.320
<v Speaker 1>for me, but it is what it is. Pen writes,

1:45:41.760 --> 1:45:46.160
<v Speaker 1>I can't stop laughing at your Jen Saki impression, except

1:45:46.320 --> 1:45:49.400

1:45:49.479 --> 1:45:53.000
<v Speaker 1>much as it does Jensaki. Great show, great job, love

1:45:59.040 --> 1:46:01.440
<v Speaker 1>you like a total high five and you're the best

1:46:02.000 --> 1:46:04.240
<v Speaker 1>that's gonna be for today, folks. She'll time
