1 00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:03,240 Speaker 1: This is Buck's first thoughts. The news you need to 2 00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:05,840 Speaker 1: get for your day in forty five minutes. Make sure 3 00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:08,520 Speaker 1: you subscribe on the iHeart app or wherever you get 4 00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:15,080 Speaker 1: your podcasts. The purge is underway, as you know. In fact, 5 00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:18,680 Speaker 1: it's gaining it's gaining steam. And they'll tell you that 6 00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:21,560 Speaker 1: it is for the worst elements of our society. They'll 7 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:24,760 Speaker 1: tell you that it's about getting rid of white supremacists, 8 00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:32,080 Speaker 1: domestic terrorists, awful violent people, insurrectionists. But when you listen 9 00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:35,760 Speaker 1: to the actual language they use, it's much broader than that. 10 00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:40,840 Speaker 1: It's really an attempt to try to smear anyone who 11 00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,959 Speaker 1: is right of center, if they voted for Trump, if 12 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 1: they were a part of any of the pro Trump rallies, 13 00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 1: particularly after the election, they must be evil and our 14 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:55,480 Speaker 1: institutions have to be cleansed of this. And cleansing is 15 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,760 Speaker 1: obviously a term that should put everyone's the hair on 16 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,880 Speaker 1: their arms standing up. That's not something that we should 17 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:05,160 Speaker 1: be thinking of when we're talking about government bodies, and 18 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 1: especially when you're looking at the military. But this is 19 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 1: now the plain language of the Democrat Party today. You've 20 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 1: got Joe Biden, for example, who's out there talking about 21 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 1: white supremacy as an enemy that we must combat. And 22 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:24,760 Speaker 1: I would just say, as we look at this, we 23 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 1: need to remember that this is a group of people. 24 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,200 Speaker 1: When you're talking about actual white supremacists, it's a group 25 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 1: of people who are marginalized and maligned all throughout society, 26 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 1: including on the right and rightly so. But how often 27 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:46,320 Speaker 1: do we go around really worried about flat earthers overtaking 28 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 1: the scientific community. I mean, how often do we go 29 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 1: around thinking that some fringe group of lunatics are really 30 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 1: about to overthrow the United States government, or some radical, 31 00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 1: violent extremist entity from within is just days away from 32 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 1: trying to launch some kind of a coup. There's a 33 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:08,640 Speaker 1: hysteria around this. We should all recognize that, we should 34 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,680 Speaker 1: see it for what it is. And it's very concerning 35 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 1: to me because I've been sounding the alarm about the 36 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 1: expansion of the term white supremacy to include things that 37 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 1: no reasonable rational person would ever say or in fact 38 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:28,639 Speaker 1: white supremacist when you use that term in the past, 39 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:32,799 Speaker 1: and you can go back to two movies in the nineties, 40 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 1: go back to pop culture and the way we would 41 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 1: talk about these things. If you heard of a neo 42 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,920 Speaker 1: Nazi or a white supremacist. It was going to be 43 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 1: a person who was hateful toward other races, who was 44 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 1: vicious evil covered in swastika's usually shaved head. You know, 45 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,079 Speaker 1: there are all these things, your skinheads, There are all 46 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:59,239 Speaker 1: these signifiers. And it was like a ghotist. It was 47 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 1: a person who had become overtaken by an evil ideology 48 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 1: and it was their heinous I mean, they're the bad guys. 49 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 1: We all get that, the same way that any Nazi 50 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 1: would be a bad guy, the same way that any 51 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 1: communist is a bad guy or ge hottest. Right, these 52 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 1: are extreme ideologies that always result in violence, authoritarianism, and 53 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 1: destruction if they achieve power, and even if they're out 54 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: of power, they can be destructive on a smaller scale. 55 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 1: So we all understood that the white supremacy was bad. 56 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,080 Speaker 1: We all get that, you know the same way that 57 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 1: we all know murder is bad. This is a very 58 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 1: straightforward thing. But now when you hear the terminology and 59 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 1: when you hear the usage of this, all of a sudden, 60 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 1: white supremacy is having too many books by white authors 61 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 1: in a store. White supremacy, and this is how the 62 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 1: left talks about it. I know you hear this. You say, 63 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: that's crazy. White supremacy. Is somebody advocating against affirmative action 64 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 1: in college admissions and pointing to how it discriminates against 65 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 1: Asian Americans more than anyone else in the process. White supremacy. Right, 66 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 1: Why should we shut down a gifted and talented schools 67 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 1: or schools for the gifted more generally that overprivileged the 68 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,719 Speaker 1: Asian American community. Well, it's because of the system of 69 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 1: white supremacy we have. This is what people will say. 70 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,279 Speaker 1: And now we have an entire government that is latching 71 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:33,159 Speaker 1: onto this as as the the boogeyman, so to speak. 72 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 1: This is the evil that we are all supposed to 73 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 1: be hiding under our beds from, or word is hiding 74 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:40,920 Speaker 1: under our bed If you think about the way the 75 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 1: boogeyman is usually thought of, this is what we're supposed 76 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 1: to be confronting as a society. We're in the middle 77 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 1: of a pandemic, a double pandemic of a disease and 78 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 1: draconian authoritarian lockdowns from the disease that do not work. 79 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,919 Speaker 1: If Governor Ron DeSantis says it, I can say it. 80 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 1: Censor that social media platforms. I'm on radio. What now, 81 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,679 Speaker 1: Governor Ron De Santis is right. I'm right they did 82 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 1: not work. These lockdowns were a failure. But let me 83 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 1: get back to white supremacy here for a moment. I 84 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 1: want to read you this isn't the Military Times, right, 85 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 1: which you know obviously focuses on defense issues and United 86 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:30,720 Speaker 1: States Arms Services, and it's about Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin. 87 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,360 Speaker 1: I actually remember I was in Bagdad years ago and 88 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 1: I was part of a briefing. He wouldn't remember me. 89 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 1: I was interchangeable with all the other guys walking around 90 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 1: dressed like they were on a camping trip. What are 91 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 1: you guys doing here? Oh? You're those guys, right, I 92 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 1: was one of those in the war zone. But you know, 93 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 1: I sat down, I briefed him. I remember thinking that 94 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 1: this guy had the kind of command presence among a 95 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 1: lot of other senior folks that he probably had a 96 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:04,040 Speaker 1: future in politics. But so I remember General Austin, and 97 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 1: now Military Times writing he's now the Secretary of Defense, 98 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 1: as you know, and he's called on quote Services to 99 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 1: conduct a sixty day standdown on the issue of extremism 100 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 1: in the military, prompted by the January sixth attack on 101 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:24,480 Speaker 1: the Capitol and subsequent reports of active duty and former 102 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 1: service members attending a rally calling to overturn the twenty 103 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,719 Speaker 1: twenty election and the riot that ensued. Hold on a 104 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 1: second look, look what they This is a perfect example 105 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 1: of what I'm talking about. We gotta do a whole standout, 106 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,919 Speaker 1: we gotta do a hot wash, we gotta do a 107 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 1: after action report. We have to do a review of 108 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 1: white nationalist or white supremacist extremism in the military. And 109 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:53,839 Speaker 1: then they when they go to describe what we're talking 110 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:57,040 Speaker 1: about here, it's people who attended a rally to overturn 111 00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty election. I know people who were at 112 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 1: the rally in DC on January sixth, and they were 113 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 1: there because they believe that there was a need for 114 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 1: election results, for the argument over election results to be 115 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 1: had in the United States Congress, for the presentation of evidence, 116 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 1: and they thought that that was within this system and 117 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 1: the right thing to do. They really believe that there 118 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 1: had been a stolen election. I know many people still 119 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 1: believe that there was a stolen election. That doesn't make 120 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 1: them white supremacists, has nothing to do with it. The 121 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 1: same way that the Capitol Hill riot wasn't a white 122 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 1: supremacist riot. But you see how now they take this 123 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 1: action and some of the individuals involved and everybody who's 124 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 1: even vaguely ideologically associated with them, including thousands and thousands 125 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 1: of people. They estimate eight hundred people storm Capitol Hill. 126 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 1: There were at least one hundred thousand people in DC 127 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 1: on that day, So it's about one percent maybe, and 128 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 1: I know some people say it was much larger than that. 129 00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 1: So about one percent of the people gathered actually broke 130 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 1: the law and did something wrong. Everybody else what they did. 131 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 1: You can disagree with how they view the election, but 132 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:10,040 Speaker 1: they are completely within their rights, and I support their 133 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 1: right to lawfully protests and have their voices heard in 134 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 1: our nation's capital. This is very straightforward. This is about principle. 135 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 1: But look what they did. They're calling here for former 136 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 1: service members, quote attending a rally, calling to overturn the 137 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 1: twenty twenty election. Attendance at the rally is cause for suspicion. 138 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 1: That's all you have to do. If you win, if 139 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:37,959 Speaker 1: you engaged in lawful protest, you now if you're a 140 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,839 Speaker 1: former military, if you're current military, for sure, you are 141 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 1: now somebody that maybe can't be trusted you're an insurrectionist. 142 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 1: This is what they say. This is what we're told. 143 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:53,720 Speaker 1: And the guidance from Austin is as follows. Quote. It 144 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:57,960 Speaker 1: wasn't a it wasn't just a blithe go talk to 145 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 1: your people. Of Austin's direction, the service secretaries and Joint chiefs. 146 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 1: He was very clear he wants commands to take the 147 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 1: necessary time to speak with troops about the scope of 148 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 1: this problem and get a sense from them about what 149 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 1: they're seeing at their level. Do you think that some uh, 150 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 1: some kind of you know, wimpy left wing bureaucrat type, 151 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,679 Speaker 1: which they exist everywhere, There are those people, even in 152 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 1: the military. H Do you do you think that they're 153 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 1: going to see somebody with a MAGA flag over their bunk? 154 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 1: You know? Do you think that they're going to see 155 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,199 Speaker 1: somebody who still so you know, thinks that the GADS 156 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 1: didn't flag as a cool design from history and they 157 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 1: want to and maybe they get reported. Just give it time, 158 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:42,680 Speaker 1: Just give it time. Um. This is this is really 159 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:48,439 Speaker 1: upsetting to see because you can understand why, why this 160 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 1: is going to get worse, Why are they doing this 161 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:56,440 Speaker 1: white supremacy in the military. Uh, this is all all 162 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 1: of a sudden we've discovered this problem because of the 163 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 1: January sixth riot. That's what they're saying. This is political. 164 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 1: I've never met a white supremacist. I mean I point 165 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 1: this out to people I have met the hottest terrorists 166 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 1: I have met, you know, people of other extremist ideologies. 167 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 1: And I'm not saying there aren't white supremacists. You always 168 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 1: have to you always have to establish these things that 169 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,679 Speaker 1: every sane person knows. Of course there are white supremacists, 170 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 1: There are evil racists. Are they powerful in this country. 171 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:28,080 Speaker 1: They're the most and rightly so maligned people in all 172 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,720 Speaker 1: of American society. I mean, you won't be able to 173 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 1: get a job, to rent, or buy a home, to 174 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 1: to be on the internet. I mean, you know, you're 175 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:40,200 Speaker 1: you're a target for everybody. You're a white supremacist, an 176 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,720 Speaker 1: actual white supremacist in the real sense of the term. 177 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 1: But that's not what this is about. We've already got 178 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 1: that problem is contained and controlled. They're they're losers. They're 179 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,960 Speaker 1: trying to expand the concept of white supremacy to include 180 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 1: people who attend and by I'm reading you from this article, 181 00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 1: attended the rally on January six didn't break any laws, 182 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 1: didn't go to the capitol, but if you attended the 183 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:10,599 Speaker 1: rally rally, you're suspect. You know, this is what authoritarian 184 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 1: regimes do. They have to cleanse wrong thing from within 185 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 1: major institutions like the like the military, and like the 186 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 1: federal bureaucracy. Military Times owned poland Quote has shown that, anecdotally, 187 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 1: oh that sounds really official, more than one third of 188 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 1: active duty troops and more than half of minority service 189 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 1: members have witnessed signs of white supremacy in their colleagues. Further, 190 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 1: survey respondents ranked white nationalism as a bigger national security 191 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 1: domestic terror as a bigger national security threat domestic than 192 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:55,719 Speaker 1: domestic terrorist groups affiliated with Islam. For instance, events of 193 00:11:55,800 --> 00:12:00,199 Speaker 1: January six served as a wake up call. It it's 194 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,960 Speaker 1: amazing to see this. I mean, you're telling me that, 195 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:10,079 Speaker 1: let's be very clear, because of this ideology of wokeness, 196 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 1: actually that's out there that sees whites. Of wokeness means 197 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 1: the white supremacy is all around us, and it's everywhere, 198 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 1: and we have to constantly combat it. They've created this 199 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:22,840 Speaker 1: omnipresent white supremacy. As a result of that, you have 200 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 1: service members here saying they've quote witnessed signs of white supremacy. 201 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:33,560 Speaker 1: Half of minority service members say they've seen that. Really, like, 202 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 1: what where? What counts as that? And I really mean that. 203 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:43,080 Speaker 1: I'd like to know. Is it who gets promoted and 204 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 1: who doesn't? Is that? Is that the kind of white 205 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 1: supremacy we're talking about, because remember how the definitions expanded. 206 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 1: Or is it somebody who actually you know, is a 207 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,559 Speaker 1: member of some kind of white power society and has 208 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 1: a swastika tattoo on his knuckles. Which one is it? 209 00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 1: Because there's a whole lot of difference between those two things. 210 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 1: But you see, this is a power This is a 211 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 1: power move and the chilling effect on conservatism on the 212 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,080 Speaker 1: right in general from pretending there's this huge threat of 213 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,960 Speaker 1: white supremacy. It's everywhere, It's even in our military. This 214 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 1: is a hysterical lie, but it's a very very potent one. 215 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,960 Speaker 1: If you want to keep people fearful and if you 216 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,080 Speaker 1: want to make sure that you can get away with 217 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 1: whatever mechanisms of control you decide to deploy. This is 218 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,959 Speaker 1: happening within our own military, and it's happening from a 219 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 1: top down, from the Secretary Defense. This is the buck 220 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Follow Buck on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. 221 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 1: You know, I have attended many of these prayer breakfasts 222 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,480 Speaker 1: over the years, with a nation of war and struggle 223 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 1: and strife, a nation of peace and prosperity, a nation, 224 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 1: though always in prayer. But we know this time is different. 225 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,560 Speaker 1: Over four hundred thousand of our fellow Americans have lost 226 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 1: their lives to a deadly virus. Millions are out of work. 227 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,840 Speaker 1: We see long lines for food at food banks that 228 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 1: stretch for miles. We hear the call for racial justice, 229 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 1: some four hundred years in the making, and we know 230 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:18,720 Speaker 1: the dream, and more importantly, the reality of justice for all, 231 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:23,520 Speaker 1: cannot be deferred any longer. We see the exidential threat 232 00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,920 Speaker 1: of climate crisis that poses to our planet and everywhere 233 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 1: we turn, with more severe floods, stronger hurricanes, more intense wildfires. 234 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 1: We just have to open our eyes. We've just witnessed 235 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 1: images that we've never imagined, images that now we'll never forget. 236 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:44,040 Speaker 1: A violent assault the US capital, on our assault on 237 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 1: our democracy, on our capitol, a violent attack that threatened 238 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,160 Speaker 1: lives and took lives. And we know now we must 239 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 1: confront and defeat political extremism. White supremacy and domestic terrorism, 240 00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,760 Speaker 1: White supremacy and domestic terrorist. This is Joe Biden on 241 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:03,160 Speaker 1: a prayer breakfast. This is the urgent national security threat 242 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:08,880 Speaker 1: defeating white supremacy and domestic terrorism. Um, okay, what does 243 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:12,720 Speaker 1: that look like? Where is this threat? Just show me where? 244 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,960 Speaker 1: Where are all these white supremacists? I asked the question. 245 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 1: I never get an answer. Where are they? But there's 246 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:23,320 Speaker 1: some some compound of brainless, toothless losers somewhere. Who are 247 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 1: you know, thinking that there there's some kind of you know, 248 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 1: neo Nazi cult that's going to take over America. Yeah, 249 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 1: I mean they're they're disgusting and everyone hates them and 250 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 1: they're ostracized from society. Where are the white supremacists that 251 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 1: have infiltrated all the institutions and that are speaking openly 252 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 1: about this and that are pushing where Well, it depends, 253 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 1: of course, on how you define the term. And increasingly 254 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,520 Speaker 1: what you see is that it's defined so broadly that 255 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 1: it can mean whatever whatever racial justice issue. The left 256 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 1: wants to wants to really put a lot of a 257 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 1: lot of focus on all of a sud They start using, 258 00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,760 Speaker 1: you know, the WUS term. They start throwing it around. 259 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,119 Speaker 1: They start saying, oh, this is we need to dismantle 260 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:11,400 Speaker 1: systems of white supremacy. Like what, where? Where is this? 261 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:14,080 Speaker 1: What does it even really mean? Think about the term. 262 00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 1: I mean, it's a very Remember remember what they did 263 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 1: with racism. Racism is bad. We all know that racism 264 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 1: is immoral, and this is just a this is a 265 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 1: universal truth. Racism is immoral. They started calling everything racism 266 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 1: back in the nineties, remember this, And they were there 267 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 1: actually because we had comedians then it could make jokes. 268 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 1: They would make jokes about how everything was racist. Right. 269 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 1: There was in the movie PCU, which is still a 270 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:39,680 Speaker 1: great watch if you want to go back and check 271 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 1: it out. But there's a there's a group of of 272 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 1: I guess you'd call it woke, you know, woke campus activists, 273 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:50,880 Speaker 1: and one of the one of the fellows is African American. 274 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 1: He's walking around and he's, you know, his question is 275 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 1: why is the chalk white and why is the blackboard black? Right, 276 00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 1: I mean, this is racism and that that's one of 277 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 1: the you know, and he goes, right, you've seen it 278 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 1: in the movie. I mean, we used to kind of 279 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 1: be aware that people would call things racist. That's actually 280 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,920 Speaker 1: not racist, has nothing to do with racism. And over 281 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 1: time that accusation, they used it so much for purposes 282 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,600 Speaker 1: of power right the left, the Democrats used this against 283 00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,359 Speaker 1: any of their perceived political enemies that it started to 284 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 1: lose its sting and started to lose its ability to 285 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 1: put people in fear. It became just a kind of 286 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:27,719 Speaker 1: an absurdity. The accusation without any underlying truth, was just 287 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 1: it was a smear, an obvious pathetic smear. So what 288 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,960 Speaker 1: they do now they've up, Now they've gone to white supremacy. Oh, 289 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:38,280 Speaker 1: let's see, that's even it's even scarier that conjures up. 290 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,600 Speaker 1: You know, neo nazis doing violence to people based on 291 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:43,639 Speaker 1: skin color. We have to fight them right away, and 292 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 1: we should. But that's not what they're referring to. They're 293 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 1: they're not referring to the character you know in American 294 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 1: history X. They're referring to college admissions that don't have 295 00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:00,840 Speaker 1: awoke enough philosophy of who gets to go to the school. Well, 296 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,399 Speaker 1: that seems like quite an important change in terminology, isn't it. 297 00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:09,400 Speaker 1: You're listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Make sure 298 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 1: you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeart Radio app 299 00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:15,120 Speaker 1: or wherever you get your podcasts. Yeah, this is a 300 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:21,200 Speaker 1: deliberate war against everybody whose views would be considered traditionally American. 301 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:25,680 Speaker 1: And consider they have on the Intelligence Committee somebody who 302 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,760 Speaker 1: the FBI has told them had a multi year relationship 303 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:32,159 Speaker 1: with the Chinese communist spy. Now that's not really a problem, 304 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:35,160 Speaker 1: because after all, Communist China is not really a bad country. 305 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:37,080 Speaker 1: When you go down the stuff and you begin to 306 00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:41,879 Speaker 1: realize these people operate in a different universe. What happened, 307 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:45,400 Speaker 1: I think was the Trump scared them for the first time. 308 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 1: They saw all of their dreams, all of their hopes disappearing, 309 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:52,720 Speaker 1: and their reaction has been one of ferocity, which I 310 00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:56,000 Speaker 1: find frightening. I mean, I worry for anybody who's openly 311 00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:59,440 Speaker 1: publicly in favor of traditional America, because you just don't 312 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,920 Speaker 1: know what the left is going to do. They're gonna 313 00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:06,280 Speaker 1: attack you, They're gonna make you suffer, They're gonna try 314 00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,920 Speaker 1: to ruin you, try to destroy you. I mean Newt 315 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:12,880 Speaker 1: Gingrich sees it is. It is now clear that there 316 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:16,719 Speaker 1: are obvious truths that you you speak at your peril 317 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:22,320 Speaker 1: whole range of issues, and the Left doesn't even really 318 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:26,320 Speaker 1: bother to make arguments anymore. Their arguments in the past 319 00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:28,320 Speaker 1: were weak, but they figured if they yelled them enough, 320 00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:33,479 Speaker 1: and if they control enough institutions, they'd be able to 321 00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:38,359 Speaker 1: get what they want even if logic, facts, reason and 322 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 1: everything else wasn't on their side. That's that's the way 323 00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:44,159 Speaker 1: that the game used to be played. Now they're just 324 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 1: saying do this because we say so. They're not even 325 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,680 Speaker 1: really telling you why you should do the thing. And 326 00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:55,160 Speaker 1: I think that the Left has found in the COVID lockdown, specifically, 327 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:59,720 Speaker 1: the perfect vessel for their dream of total societal control. 328 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 1: They also have this with climate change. But climate change, 329 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:06,199 Speaker 1: as much as they try to force the urgency of 330 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 1: the climate crisis and it's existential, as much as they 331 00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 1: try to convince everybody of that, well adjusted normal people 332 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 1: are like, even if they believe in climate changes, they go, 333 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,160 Speaker 1: I mean, come on, it's not the world's not gonna 334 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,480 Speaker 1: end tomorrow. Let's catch our breath here. It's not gonna 335 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 1: end in five years. It's not gonna end in fifty 336 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 1: And if it ends in five hundred years, how much 337 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:26,320 Speaker 1: do I really care? I mean, that's that's kind of 338 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:27,959 Speaker 1: where a lot of people are on this one. How 339 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:29,960 Speaker 1: do I even know, who will even know what five 340 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,399 Speaker 1: hundred years from now is going to be like. But 341 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,240 Speaker 1: with COVID, because we have had a lot of people, 342 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:38,680 Speaker 1: a lot of older people who have died from from 343 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:45,159 Speaker 1: this respiratory virus, they were able to get the crisis 344 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:49,440 Speaker 1: and the panic and the anxiety at a level where 345 00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 1: they could begin to remake society. I mean, they could 346 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:55,199 Speaker 1: tell you how you can breathe. That's now all a 347 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,800 Speaker 1: part of this too. And I've been walking you through 348 00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 1: because I know what they're gonna do. You know, they 349 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 1: have to cover up now we saw something we said, 350 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:08,680 Speaker 1: hold on a second. Fauci says two masks are better 351 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:12,680 Speaker 1: than one, and then Auster Holmes says, actually, two masks 352 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:16,120 Speaker 1: are worse than one, and then Fauci says there's no 353 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,680 Speaker 1: data to support wearing two masks, And then people say, well, 354 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:24,120 Speaker 1: hold on a second. If two masks isn't better than one, 355 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 1: why that makes me think that maybe we got to 356 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,159 Speaker 1: look at this more and can we even have a 357 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 1: discussion about this. So then Fauci has to change it 358 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:36,880 Speaker 1: up again to say, well, the CDC may soon tell 359 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,360 Speaker 1: people two masks are better than one. We gotta get 360 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 1: the data, and let me tell you, they're going to 361 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 1: come up with some bullcrap anecdotal study about you know, 362 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:48,880 Speaker 1: someone says that they were doing two and someone else 363 00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:51,080 Speaker 1: said one, and it's not going to be an actual 364 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:54,200 Speaker 1: scientific study at all. And then all of a sudden 365 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,760 Speaker 1: they'll make its way under the CDC website and then 366 00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 1: the CDC we all have to listen to. Has the 367 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:02,359 Speaker 1: CDC saved lot of us? Can I just ask you 368 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:04,720 Speaker 1: think about that for a second. Has the CDC saved 369 00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:06,840 Speaker 1: a lot of lives in the COVID pandemic? I mean, 370 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:09,920 Speaker 1: this is there, this is their D Day invasion, right 371 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:13,879 Speaker 1: This COVID pandemic is the CDC's moment show us what 372 00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:16,359 Speaker 1: they're why they're funded, what they're really made of. You 373 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 1: know what they've done. They messed up testing in the 374 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 1: earliest days, when it was absolutely essential to figure out 375 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:23,880 Speaker 1: what we were really dealing with. They completely botched testing. 376 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:28,480 Speaker 1: They've changed the guidance many many times. And ultimately what 377 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:31,720 Speaker 1: they've told this is, you know, you should probably block 378 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 1: down and just avoid life while this virus is out 379 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 1: there as much as you know you can stomach and 380 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:39,400 Speaker 1: or as much as other people will make you stomach 381 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:44,160 Speaker 1: and wash your hands and wear a mask. Thanks CDC. Wow, 382 00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:49,400 Speaker 1: amazing stuff from them. And here's Foucci. Though, as I've 383 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 1: been telling you, setting the groundwork, you're gonna you're gonna 384 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 1: start to see businesses that say one mask required, two 385 00:22:55,920 --> 00:23:01,680 Speaker 1: masks preferred. It's gonna happen play four in the meantime, 386 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:05,600 Speaker 1: as I often get asked, should you be wearing two 387 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:11,280 Speaker 1: masks or one mask? And I say, there's no recommendation. However, 388 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,400 Speaker 1: there are many people who take the common sense approach. 389 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,960 Speaker 1: If you're talking about a physical barrier, and as the 390 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:21,520 Speaker 1: CDC recommends, you want at least two layers within the 391 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:24,800 Speaker 1: mask as a physical barrier, and you feel maybe more 392 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:28,080 Speaker 1: of a physical barrier would be better, there's nothing wrong 393 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:32,920 Speaker 1: with people wearing two masks. I often myself wear two masks. 394 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:37,920 Speaker 1: Can we make a general recommendation that doesn't have scientific 395 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:42,480 Speaker 1: basis yet? No, But when the science comes along and 396 00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:45,399 Speaker 1: tells us that it is better or not, then you 397 00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 1: will see a recommendation being made by the CDC. They're 398 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 1: going to manufacture something and they're going to say that 399 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,439 Speaker 1: the science is settled, and now we know that two 400 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:57,800 Speaker 1: masks are better than one and it's not amazing because 401 00:23:57,800 --> 00:23:59,560 Speaker 1: how have they not known that all along? The mask 402 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:03,840 Speaker 1: science is so clear, We're we're figuring this out just now. No, 403 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,680 Speaker 1: why are we going to the two masking? Why? Why 404 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:08,760 Speaker 1: did I know that they would say this? Go back? 405 00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 1: You know this, listen to the show? How did I 406 00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:11,760 Speaker 1: know that they were going to tell us two masks? 407 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:13,879 Speaker 1: And then ninety five masks are really what we need 408 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:19,320 Speaker 1: to be doing because the policy of mandating people wearing 409 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:25,400 Speaker 1: masks in certain situations didn't stop the damn virus. It didn't. 410 00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:28,359 Speaker 1: And I know people say, oh, but what about you 411 00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 1: know when you breathe through it everything, and go okay, 412 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:33,399 Speaker 1: Well people can't wear it all the time, and so 413 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 1: there's a lot of spread that's going on all the 414 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:38,200 Speaker 1: time anyway. And if you get the virus on Wednesday 415 00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:40,240 Speaker 1: but didn't get it on Tuesday, and that plays out 416 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:42,480 Speaker 1: across the whole country, what difference does it really make? 417 00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:48,280 Speaker 1: But you know, they people, people are incapable of actually 418 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,679 Speaker 1: thinking this through for themselves. And going back to my 419 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,240 Speaker 1: initial premise here about about traditional values being able to 420 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:57,040 Speaker 1: speak about these things, it is essential that we actually 421 00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:01,359 Speaker 1: have a public debate about masks. I would I would 422 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:05,880 Speaker 1: love give me any blue check MD PhD. Oh, I'm 423 00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:07,960 Speaker 1: doctor so and so, and I go on I go 424 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,840 Speaker 1: on MSNBC, and I know love to have a debate. 425 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:12,800 Speaker 1: And I'm just some guy, just some guy who sits 426 00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 1: around as a radio show, writes some stuff, you know, 427 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:17,280 Speaker 1: used to work for the government, used to be a 428 00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:22,240 Speaker 1: little government stooge, And uh yeah, I would love to 429 00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:24,720 Speaker 1: have the debate with them because I could just use 430 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:29,639 Speaker 1: reason and logic and annihilate the stupid crap that they say, 431 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:31,800 Speaker 1: like it's all it's all so obvious that we should 432 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,359 Speaker 1: all be worrying about. It was so obvious that the 433 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:37,880 Speaker 1: person is now the biggest mask advocate twelve months ago 434 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,440 Speaker 1: was saying, come on, it doesn't really do anything. That's 435 00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:44,240 Speaker 1: without She was saying, we all know it. Now, what 436 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:48,360 Speaker 1: exactly is different? They'll say, oh, we didn't know about this. No, no, no, no, no, 437 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:50,960 Speaker 1: that's all just blah blah blah blah blah. That's all nonsense. 438 00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,439 Speaker 1: But they won't deal with the reality here, which is 439 00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 1: that you had a panic, and you had people in 440 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,680 Speaker 1: patent positions of power, and you had governed authorities. The 441 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,200 Speaker 1: people were looking to to save them, and they had 442 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:05,199 Speaker 1: to tell you something, and they had to tell you 443 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 1: something that even if it didn't stop it, then the 444 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:08,359 Speaker 1: answer would be, well, you didn't do enough of the 445 00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:12,360 Speaker 1: thing I told you. It's your fault. That's where we are. 446 00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:19,159 Speaker 1: And so I believe that dissent on a matter, on 447 00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:22,720 Speaker 1: a matter of national importance health policy like this, that 448 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:24,840 Speaker 1: is a traditional American value. We should be able to 449 00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 1: have this conversation. We can't. We can't. Shouldn't shouldn't I 450 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:32,560 Speaker 1: be scared? Shouldn't I be concerned about the prospect of 451 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:38,280 Speaker 1: being exposed on this issue? Yeah, have one of those 452 00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:41,520 Speaker 1: blue check doctors, you know, have a debate, go on 453 00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:45,240 Speaker 1: TV live and it'd be meek be Alex Barnson, be 454 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:47,919 Speaker 1: any number of people to look at this issue critically 455 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,920 Speaker 1: and explain to me how the science tells you that 456 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 1: it's essential that you have that mask pulled up all 457 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:56,000 Speaker 1: the time on an airplane with one hundred and fifty 458 00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,280 Speaker 1: people on it, sitting side by side, which is what 459 00:26:58,320 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 1: we do now. Remember how we're going to have a 460 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,359 Speaker 1: separation that all fell apart. Now we just airlines need 461 00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:04,800 Speaker 1: to make money. So you sit side by side and 462 00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,000 Speaker 1: then people sit there and I'd say for at least 463 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:11,880 Speaker 1: half the flight are breathing in open air with their 464 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,640 Speaker 1: mask down because they're drinking, they're eating, they're doing other things. 465 00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,200 Speaker 1: You know, people have the mask fall down below their nose. 466 00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:19,680 Speaker 1: The nose is actually a major area for the spread 467 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:22,720 Speaker 1: of the for the expulsion of the virus. So yeah, 468 00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:24,679 Speaker 1: explained the signs to me of how that's all. But 469 00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:28,560 Speaker 1: it limits it, It limits it. I mean how much 470 00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:32,160 Speaker 1: how much? If you know, if you're on a plane 471 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:35,400 Speaker 1: for four hours and everyone's breathing, the breathing the air, 472 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:37,960 Speaker 1: you know, and open how much better is it with 473 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,640 Speaker 1: the mask on for thirty percent? Then with the rest? 474 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 1: I mean, you get infected, you're infected. It doesn't matter 475 00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:45,800 Speaker 1: how much exposure you had. It doesn't matter, you know, 476 00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:49,440 Speaker 1: how long the exposure was. You're infected. You're infected. But 477 00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:51,640 Speaker 1: they don't really think about it, Jo, We can't even 478 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:54,680 Speaker 1: have a normal conversation about that. We can't have normal 479 00:27:54,680 --> 00:28:00,720 Speaker 1: conversation with the left about males playing female sport. The 480 00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:05,359 Speaker 1: ACO you put out a statement yesterday that said there's 481 00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:09,200 Speaker 1: no advantage of men over women in sports, no advantage, 482 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:11,879 Speaker 1: and then this is shown because there are women who 483 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:15,920 Speaker 1: can still compete against some of the men. How many 484 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:17,720 Speaker 1: videos do we have to see of some like six 485 00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:20,560 Speaker 1: foot four guy who weighs two hundred and thirty pounds 486 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:23,119 Speaker 1: who's playing women's field hockey and as all of a sudden, 487 00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:25,280 Speaker 1: the national champion and like the best in the world. 488 00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,720 Speaker 1: Before we go, oh, I think I think there's an advantage. 489 00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:32,040 Speaker 1: I think there's an advantage. Every guy listening to this 490 00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:36,000 Speaker 1: knows if you if you were a a mediocre high 491 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:40,880 Speaker 1: school male athlete, you know, a mediocre one, which is 492 00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,120 Speaker 1: how at best I think how it described my own 493 00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:47,720 Speaker 1: athletic exploits as you would have been a probably a 494 00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:53,000 Speaker 1: two or three sport All American at in NCAA women's sports. 495 00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:56,000 Speaker 1: This is the truth. I mean, if you want to 496 00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:57,360 Speaker 1: want an example of this, you I mean, you have 497 00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:59,640 Speaker 1: to have a certain level of proficiency. But the like 498 00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:03,560 Speaker 1: men fourteen year old national soccer team beat the best 499 00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:06,840 Speaker 1: female professional soccer teams in the world. They're fourteen and 500 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,480 Speaker 1: beating the best women of the world. I mean, is 501 00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:12,120 Speaker 1: there's no debate about this. Ah, but you see that 502 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:14,400 Speaker 1: statements even more true than I meant it to be. 503 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:16,920 Speaker 1: They don't allow you to have the debate about this 504 00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,840 Speaker 1: because the facts are not in debate. It's really a 505 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:23,000 Speaker 1: question of power, and they have the power to silence 506 00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:25,880 Speaker 1: you and make you believe things and say things that 507 00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:30,800 Speaker 1: are not true. You're in the freedom hunt. Thanks for 508 00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:34,080 Speaker 1: listening to The Buck Sexton Show podcast. Get the latest 509 00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:38,720 Speaker 1: from Buck at buck sexton dot com. The job of 510 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,240 Speaker 1: a leader is to take on that, to take on 511 00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:44,520 Speaker 1: the grief in order to save people's jobs, to get 512 00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,600 Speaker 1: kids back in school, and really to ultimately save a 513 00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:50,600 Speaker 1: lot of lives, because I think one the virus responds 514 00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:53,840 Speaker 1: is more effective when it's targeted at the vulnerable population, 515 00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:56,960 Speaker 1: which we did do aggressively. But I also think we've 516 00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,720 Speaker 1: saved the livelihoods of so many people. I think you'll 517 00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:03,560 Speaker 1: have less suicide desks, less drug abuse desks, less deaths 518 00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:06,880 Speaker 1: of despair in Florida because we were open, and I 519 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:09,239 Speaker 1: think a lot of the lockdowners lost sight of that. 520 00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:12,640 Speaker 1: We are less than the national average for per capita 521 00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:16,240 Speaker 1: COVID mortality. Twenty five states are higher than us, and 522 00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:19,640 Speaker 1: yet as you said, our unemployment rate is much less 523 00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,520 Speaker 1: than the national average. We have kids in school, and 524 00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:26,520 Speaker 1: in December we had three hundred and thirty million dollars 525 00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:30,640 Speaker 1: more in revenue than was projected because people are coming 526 00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,120 Speaker 1: here and they understand that Florida's opened in a place 527 00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:36,120 Speaker 1: where they can pursue their dreams. Rohn descantists the only 528 00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:41,040 Speaker 1: political hero of the entire COVID pandemic, really, the only 529 00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:43,960 Speaker 1: person who has been getting it done despite all the critics, 530 00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:46,720 Speaker 1: despite all the pressure. And I know I talk about 531 00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:48,360 Speaker 1: him a lot now. It's like it sounds like I'm 532 00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:50,440 Speaker 1: a member of the Rohn descent and maybe the captain 533 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,840 Speaker 1: of the RHND descentists fan club these days. But look, 534 00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:57,320 Speaker 1: I don't know Ron, never met him, never talked to him. 535 00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:00,520 Speaker 1: It's not about anything other than results. And you look 536 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:03,440 Speaker 1: at the results of his state. Maybe we could have 537 00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:07,680 Speaker 1: had many other places with much better results if we 538 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:10,400 Speaker 1: were allowed to have the conversation. But to my earlier point, 539 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:15,200 Speaker 1: we're not even We're not even given the freedom to 540 00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:18,440 Speaker 1: make our case anymore. I mean, what social media companies 541 00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:22,720 Speaker 1: have done about lockdowns and mask wearing is disgusting. They're 542 00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:26,600 Speaker 1: a bunch of little, petty moron totalitarians. And remember it's 543 00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:28,800 Speaker 1: not the people who, you know, the people that are 544 00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:31,400 Speaker 1: all about this. They're not the ones that are you 545 00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:34,000 Speaker 1: know that that that that founded the company. Usually they're 546 00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:37,040 Speaker 1: not the ones that are coming up with really complicated algorithms. 547 00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:39,080 Speaker 1: You know, they're outsourcing a lot of that stuff to 548 00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:41,000 Speaker 1: other people or people on H one b V's is 549 00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:44,280 Speaker 1: the little, the little totalitarians that work in these social 550 00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:46,920 Speaker 1: media companies. You know, they're they're they are working in 551 00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:49,920 Speaker 1: like the government relations office, they're working in the in 552 00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:53,200 Speaker 1: PR and marketing, in sales and you know, the soft 553 00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:56,640 Speaker 1: sciences parts of these companies. They're the ones that are yeah, 554 00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:59,440 Speaker 1: you know it's the it's the English Lit majors who 555 00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:03,800 Speaker 1: work at book and Google doing whatever they do. They're 556 00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:05,480 Speaker 1: they're the ones that want you to be shut up. 557 00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:07,560 Speaker 1: They're the ones that want you to be unable to 558 00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,680 Speaker 1: actually have a conversation. So remember that and and that 559 00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:13,560 Speaker 1: there are real they are real downsides this. I mean, 560 00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:16,960 Speaker 1: you know, today you had the mayor of Chicago, Lori Lightfoot, 561 00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:23,120 Speaker 1: who was basically pleading with the teachers' unions like you 562 00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:27,800 Speaker 1: you're being unreasonable, this is not right. You're making kids suffer. 563 00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:30,800 Speaker 1: You're supposed to go back to school. Now, think of 564 00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:34,200 Speaker 1: all the people in Chicago who are going and doing 565 00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:38,600 Speaker 1: their jobs. They're exposed to COVID. They they have, you know, 566 00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:41,080 Speaker 1: family members who are who are older and at risk, 567 00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,200 Speaker 1: or maybe they themselves are older and at risk, but 568 00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:47,200 Speaker 1: you know they're still living life. There's no risk free society, 569 00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:49,680 Speaker 1: and a society that promises you that it's risk free 570 00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:56,240 Speaker 1: is a nightmare. It is by definition totalitarian. It erases 571 00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:58,760 Speaker 1: all freedom. If it's going to make you truly free, 572 00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:01,160 Speaker 1: it will make all of your choice is for you. 573 00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:03,400 Speaker 1: There are a lot of people and I think it's 574 00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:08,400 Speaker 1: just deep in their brains that's what they want, that's 575 00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:11,840 Speaker 1: what they prefer. They would rather be told what to 576 00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:15,160 Speaker 1: do all the time. They'd rather be told how they 577 00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,920 Speaker 1: can live their lives. By the way, I mentioned before 578 00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:25,480 Speaker 1: the debates over men and women's sports, here's brand Paul 579 00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:30,480 Speaker 1: talking to the Education Secretary nominee, doctor Miguel Cardona about 580 00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:33,720 Speaker 1: boys playing girls sports in high school play sixteen So 581 00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:35,760 Speaker 1: you don't have a problem. Then with boys running in 582 00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:39,320 Speaker 1: the girls, track me, swimming me to name it, you're okay. 583 00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:43,239 Speaker 1: Then with boys competing with girls respectfully centered, I think 584 00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:45,640 Speaker 1: I answered the question. I believe schools should offer the 585 00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:49,760 Speaker 1: opportunity for students to engage in extracurricular activities. Even if 586 00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:51,880 Speaker 1: they're a transgender. I think that's their right, all right, 587 00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:54,960 Speaker 1: but a lot of us think that that's bizarre. You know, 588 00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:59,240 Speaker 1: I'm not very fair. Yeah, it isn't fair. It isn't. 589 00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:04,480 Speaker 1: But now it's now the left has gone beyond philosophical 590 00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:08,440 Speaker 1: fallacy and they want you to to not accept what 591 00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:12,440 Speaker 1: is true in the actual physical world. This isn't that 592 00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:16,279 Speaker 1: they just have bad ideas that are illogical and self contradictory, 593 00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:18,239 Speaker 1: though that's certainly very true of the left as well. 594 00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:22,200 Speaker 1: Now it's that guy who is six is sixty three 595 00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:25,160 Speaker 1: and you know, two hundred and fifty pounds, he's not 596 00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:27,640 Speaker 1: necessarily going to be stronger than all all the all 597 00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:31,120 Speaker 1: the females of his same of his same age. Then no, 598 00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:34,359 Speaker 1: that there might You know that there's no real advantage there. Well, 599 00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:36,920 Speaker 1: then why why break up mail and female sports in general? 600 00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:39,680 Speaker 1: What's the point does anyone on the left we want 601 00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:41,360 Speaker 1: to try to answer that? Why do we have a 602 00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:45,200 Speaker 1: men's and women's team, men's and women's teams? What's the 603 00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:47,600 Speaker 1: point of it? Because you know, it's fine, there's no 604 00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:51,840 Speaker 1: biological advantage. We all know this is a lie, but 605 00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:57,200 Speaker 1: they insist that you accept their lie. Why. It's about 606 00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:00,239 Speaker 1: a lot more than just transgender rights or transgender sports 607 00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:03,560 Speaker 1: or anything like that. It's about bend the knee or else, 608 00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:07,920 Speaker 1: bend the knee on something that you know is a 609 00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:12,600 Speaker 1: total fallacy. Once you've done at this time, they can 610 00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:15,240 Speaker 1: get you to do at other times. This is Buck's 611 00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:17,640 Speaker 1: first thoughts. The news you need to get for your 612 00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:20,480 Speaker 1: day in forty five minutes. Make sure you subscribe on 613 00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:25,080 Speaker 1: the iHeart app or wherever you get your podcasts. She 614 00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:30,480 Speaker 1: stays in leadership. Liz Cheney has beaten back a challenge 615 00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:33,759 Speaker 1: to her role in the United States Congress on the 616 00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:36,319 Speaker 1: GOP side of it. Pretty big win for her in 617 00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:39,080 Speaker 1: terms of the votes. What really happened here and what 618 00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:42,120 Speaker 1: is it telling us about the trajectory of the GOP 619 00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:45,080 Speaker 1: Right now, our friend Matt Schlap is back in the mix. 620 00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:48,800 Speaker 1: He is the chairman of the American Conservative Union. Mister Schlap, 621 00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:51,040 Speaker 1: good to have you, great to be with you, getting Buck, 622 00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:53,279 Speaker 1: So what do you make of this? First of all, 623 00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:56,920 Speaker 1: just for everyone listening, how did we get here? We're 624 00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:59,000 Speaker 1: all of a sudden in our Republicans are still trying 625 00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:02,040 Speaker 1: to figure out what just happened with this election? And 626 00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:05,120 Speaker 1: now We've got Biden's inauguration, and now we're going after 627 00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:08,560 Speaker 1: Liz Cheney. What did she do? Tell everybody? In the 628 00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:13,120 Speaker 1: eyes of some within her own party, her sins were, well, 629 00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:18,399 Speaker 1: she voted to impeach President Trump, even though obviously he's 630 00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:22,040 Speaker 1: not the president anymore, and almost everybody's reading of the 631 00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:25,120 Speaker 1: Constitution is is that this is an abuse of the Constitution. 632 00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:27,640 Speaker 1: I think she was one of ten Republicans in the 633 00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:32,239 Speaker 1: House to support this, the most politicized impeachment we've ever seen. 634 00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:35,800 Speaker 1: In almost every impeachment's pretty politicized. So a lot of 635 00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:40,000 Speaker 1: anger were these Republicans who played into the politics of 636 00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:43,000 Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi. And that's really what this was. This really 637 00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:44,840 Speaker 1: wasn't a question about do you like Trump? Do you 638 00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:47,880 Speaker 1: not like Trump? Do you like Trump's policies? Do not 639 00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:50,919 Speaker 1: like Trump's policies? Do you like what happened on January sixth? 640 00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:54,439 Speaker 1: Does what happened on January sixth make you offended? As 641 00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:56,080 Speaker 1: I'm sure it does you and me and you and 642 00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:58,600 Speaker 1: I talked about it on your show right around that time. 643 00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:01,120 Speaker 1: It was a terrible thing. But is it really fair 644 00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:04,320 Speaker 1: to blame Trump for what happened at the Capitol is 645 00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:08,800 Speaker 1: it really fair to blame his supporters for what happened 646 00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:10,719 Speaker 1: at the Capitol, Which is now what Joe Biden and 647 00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:12,520 Speaker 1: the new Secretary of Defense seemed to be saying with 648 00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:16,040 Speaker 1: their language or somehow, our number one danger as a 649 00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:19,919 Speaker 1: country is white supremacy and violence on the right. Of course, 650 00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:22,239 Speaker 1: they say nothing about the violence on the left with 651 00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:25,000 Speaker 1: Black Lives Matter and Antifa, and the fact that for 652 00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:27,640 Speaker 1: a year our cities were burned to the ground, and 653 00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:31,360 Speaker 1: churches were burned, and statues were torn down, and statues 654 00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:34,719 Speaker 1: of Jesus were desecrated, and cemeteries were desecraated. They don't 655 00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:36,960 Speaker 1: mention any of that. We have more violence in this 656 00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:41,680 Speaker 1: country buck because people feel like they don't have hope 657 00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:44,800 Speaker 1: within the system. So people who are into the system, 658 00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:47,960 Speaker 1: especially the establishment, they should do all they can to 659 00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:50,160 Speaker 1: make the Americans on both the left and the right 660 00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:53,879 Speaker 1: feel like their voices heard. Instead, what the establishments doing 661 00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:57,319 Speaker 1: is the opposite. They're censoring us, they're shutting us down, 662 00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:00,239 Speaker 1: they're canceling us. That will not have a good result 663 00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:02,960 Speaker 1: in our politics. Clearly, the people who rushed the Capitol 664 00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:06,080 Speaker 1: of criminals, but they also felt desperation. We need to 665 00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:09,400 Speaker 1: pull back for people feeling desperation. That's why our founders 666 00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:12,239 Speaker 1: gave us things like the First Amendment were politically you're 667 00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:15,440 Speaker 1: allowed to express yourself, and that is not being allowed 668 00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:18,800 Speaker 1: to happen unfortunately right now in America. Were you surprised 669 00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:21,120 Speaker 1: by the results? I mean, one hundred and forty five 670 00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:25,000 Speaker 1: for Liz Cheney to stay in her leadership job versus 671 00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:28,040 Speaker 1: only sixty one in the House. There was a lot 672 00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:30,600 Speaker 1: of no, I'm not surprised. I'm not surprised, and I 673 00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:33,279 Speaker 1: think this is being misreported. You know, I was a 674 00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:35,920 Speaker 1: Hill staffer for five years. A lot of people in 675 00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:39,360 Speaker 1: this town have congressional experience. But it was going to 676 00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:45,440 Speaker 1: take an overwhelming vote to push Liz Cheney out of leadership. 677 00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:48,280 Speaker 1: This wasn't so much about taking it out of leadership 678 00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:50,880 Speaker 1: as it was sending a message that when you're in leadership, 679 00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:54,440 Speaker 1: there are just certain things you do for the cause, 680 00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:57,440 Speaker 1: and if you're such an independent thinker that you can't 681 00:38:57,560 --> 00:38:59,719 Speaker 1: do the right thing for the party, then you should 682 00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:02,480 Speaker 1: never getting leadership because part of being a leadership is 683 00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:05,480 Speaker 1: sometimes you got to take votes that you disagree with 684 00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:08,520 Speaker 1: because you're in a leadership position. Just like all leadership positions. 685 00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:12,719 Speaker 1: We have an organizations across the country. There's there's a 686 00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:15,400 Speaker 1: cost to being a leader, and she was unwilling to 687 00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:19,080 Speaker 1: pay that cost because of her animosity for President Trump. 688 00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:22,360 Speaker 1: And so what's happened in the past when Republican leaders 689 00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:25,120 Speaker 1: got into this much trouble, they just stepped down. Remember 690 00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:28,000 Speaker 1: knew Gingridge stepped down from being Speaker when he got 691 00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:31,120 Speaker 1: himself really all kind of turned around on some ethics questions, 692 00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:33,920 Speaker 1: and she was unwilling to do that. So I admire 693 00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:36,200 Speaker 1: her moxy for sticking in there, but I don't think 694 00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:39,080 Speaker 1: it changed the political changes the political dynamic, which is 695 00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:42,759 Speaker 1: she's got a big problem within the Republican conference because 696 00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:46,359 Speaker 1: they don't view her as understanding that we shouldn't play 697 00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:49,719 Speaker 1: into the politics of Pelosi and Schumer, even when we're 698 00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:51,720 Speaker 1: going to get a bad editorial in the New York Times, 699 00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:54,920 Speaker 1: even when we have animosity or differences with a Republican 700 00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:58,640 Speaker 1: who might be the target. So Marjorie Taylor Green, she's 701 00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:03,200 Speaker 1: she's the latest target of the Democrats. It really doesn't 702 00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:05,959 Speaker 1: have to do with them being offended over her, which 703 00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:09,320 Speaker 1: I would say very offensive social media postings from previous 704 00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:12,360 Speaker 1: you know, before she was elected to serve in Congress. 705 00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:15,280 Speaker 1: By the way, the voters in Georgia put her in Congress, 706 00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:18,240 Speaker 1: and the voters get to decide these questions, not Nancy 707 00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:21,080 Speaker 1: Pelosi and the Democrats. But you know, she's just the 708 00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:25,239 Speaker 1: latest victim of what this cancel culture. They want to 709 00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:27,880 Speaker 1: cancel her before she's ever even really been allowed to 710 00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:30,120 Speaker 1: show what her true feelings are as a congresswoman, how 711 00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:32,600 Speaker 1: she wants to vote. If they if they can attack 712 00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:35,880 Speaker 1: her and persecute her, it'll just name the next Republican 713 00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:37,840 Speaker 1: they're going to go after. Basically, what they're trying to 714 00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:41,040 Speaker 1: do is make being a Republican illegal, and Republicans who 715 00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:43,520 Speaker 1: play along with that should just go away because they 716 00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:46,560 Speaker 1: don't know what's going on in the country. We're speaking of, Matt, 717 00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:49,239 Speaker 1: I'm sorry speaking to Matt schlap he's the chairman of 718 00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:54,080 Speaker 1: the American Conservative Union, and Matt Gates was leading the 719 00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:58,160 Speaker 1: effort to get rid of Liz Cheney. Do you think 720 00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:00,840 Speaker 1: that they're going to let bygones be by guns now, Matt, 721 00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:04,000 Speaker 1: or is there still this struggle that we should expect 722 00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:08,680 Speaker 1: to play out within GOP congressional ranks for who's really 723 00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:11,920 Speaker 1: the future of the GOP in terms of policy, but 724 00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:15,560 Speaker 1: also in terms of leadership. Well, we have Joe Biden 725 00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:18,480 Speaker 1: saying we need to unify the country. Well he's pursuing 726 00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:22,000 Speaker 1: in his party, is pursuing impeachment, saying that we have 727 00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:25,080 Speaker 1: to go after all these white nationalists, which sounds strangely 728 00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:28,160 Speaker 1: like he just wants to go after conservatives and MAGA people. 729 00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:30,279 Speaker 1: It really doesn't have much to do with race at all. 730 00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:33,280 Speaker 1: And now you have these strange calls for unity within 731 00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:37,280 Speaker 1: the Republican ranks. To me, I'm not very interested in unity. 732 00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:41,520 Speaker 1: I'm interested in having a civil debate on what we 733 00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:43,880 Speaker 1: should agree with and what we shouldn't agree with. I 734 00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:47,359 Speaker 1: don't want just like a vanilla Republican party that has 735 00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:51,920 Speaker 1: no disagreements. I'm plenty fine with lots of Republican disagreements. 736 00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:53,640 Speaker 1: I just want to make sure that they remember that 737 00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:56,920 Speaker 1: the political enemy are the socialists, and this is the 738 00:41:57,320 --> 00:42:01,719 Speaker 1: socialism that the Democrats have grabbed up. Have you embraced? 739 00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:05,239 Speaker 1: So this question about Liz Cheney and her future, I 740 00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:08,360 Speaker 1: think is a very open question. And if she believes 741 00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:10,600 Speaker 1: that the right thing to do is kind of divorce 742 00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:13,960 Speaker 1: MAGA from this coalition as I call it, not so 743 00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:16,759 Speaker 1: much a Republican Party as it is a coalition. The 744 00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:19,719 Speaker 1: Conservatives are the most important part of that coalition. If 745 00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:22,640 Speaker 1: she thinks it's important to divorce Maga from that coalition, 746 00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:25,200 Speaker 1: I will fight her on that. Politically, I like and 747 00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:27,960 Speaker 1: respect her, We've been friends a long time. I disagree 748 00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:30,960 Speaker 1: with her impeachment vote. I disagree with this idea that 749 00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:34,359 Speaker 1: somehow Trump has been a cancer on the Republican Party. 750 00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:37,560 Speaker 1: I think he's added millions of new voters. I've obviously 751 00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:39,799 Speaker 1: been a strong supporter of his. I will continue to 752 00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:42,319 Speaker 1: be for him and for his policies. And I think 753 00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:44,480 Speaker 1: we all had that debate, and so it becomes a 754 00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:47,440 Speaker 1: little public at time. That's okay. We're big boys and girls, 755 00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:49,400 Speaker 1: and we're going to have it at Seapack anyway, So 756 00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:52,080 Speaker 1: buckle up. So tell me this. Let's look at the 757 00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:56,080 Speaker 1: other side for a second. Jack Posovic over One America 758 00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:59,440 Speaker 1: News got this one going. He pointed out that AOC 759 00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:04,440 Speaker 1: who was really made a spectacle of herself recently, Alexandria Ocazio, 760 00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:09,680 Speaker 1: Alexandra Occazio Cortez. She she was claiming that Ted Cruze 761 00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:11,760 Speaker 1: almost had her killed. I mean, I saw that tweet 762 00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:13,720 Speaker 1: as if you know, Ted Cruz was ordering a hitman 763 00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:17,560 Speaker 1: to find her. She's been doing, you know, TEARI eyed 764 00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:21,080 Speaker 1: videos from home about how she was terrified she was 765 00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:25,680 Speaker 1: going to die. And now Jack looked at a and 766 00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:28,640 Speaker 1: you know Capitol Hill very well, she looked at a 767 00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:31,600 Speaker 1: map and she was what is it about an eight 768 00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:34,800 Speaker 1: eight to ten minute walk from the actual Capitol U 769 00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:38,799 Speaker 1: when when all this happened, What do you make of this? Well, 770 00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:40,440 Speaker 1: they're trying to make it sound like it was almost 771 00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:44,520 Speaker 1: an attack on the on the NATS stadium, which is 772 00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:46,840 Speaker 1: not too far away from the Cannon House office building. 773 00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:50,279 Speaker 1: Look what happened at the Capitol's terrible. Can't be excused, 774 00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:53,040 Speaker 1: and I can understand why it was shocking to members 775 00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:58,040 Speaker 1: of Congress. But this is where the language is purposely politicized. 776 00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:01,239 Speaker 1: Donald Trump didn't call for any violence that day. He 777 00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:04,560 Speaker 1: called to the opposite. Anybody who accuses the president of 778 00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:07,880 Speaker 1: calling for violence should show the words in the speech 779 00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:10,400 Speaker 1: that he uttered that called for violence. Of course, the 780 00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:12,320 Speaker 1: opposite is in the speech. And if you're going to 781 00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:15,200 Speaker 1: accuse Ted Cruse of trying to murder, you show the 782 00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:18,720 Speaker 1: words that Ted Cruz uttered to call for that violence. 783 00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:20,840 Speaker 1: Of course those words don't exist. I often wonder with 784 00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:23,759 Speaker 1: these socialists, do they think that, like Buck, you and 785 00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:26,040 Speaker 1: I communicate both with our mouths and we have like 786 00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:30,640 Speaker 1: some secret like you know, telepathy, that we're speaking, you know, 787 00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:33,520 Speaker 1: encouraging people. They love to call it a dog whistle, 788 00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:36,120 Speaker 1: something people can't hear, but like if you have, if 789 00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:39,160 Speaker 1: you have the right kind of hearing, you can hear it. Somehow, 790 00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:42,200 Speaker 1: Josh Holly and Ted Cruise and Donald Trump were speaking 791 00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:46,040 Speaker 1: telepathically to their supporters to do bad things. This Manchurian 792 00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:49,320 Speaker 1: Canada kind of nonsense. It just has to stop. It 793 00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:51,359 Speaker 1: should be called out. When we used to have pre 794 00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:54,560 Speaker 1: unfair journalism in this country, they would have told a 795 00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:58,600 Speaker 1: politician that you can't make charges that you can't substantiate 796 00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:02,440 Speaker 1: with actual words. So and I think it's great what 797 00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:05,840 Speaker 1: Jack has done on this reporting because it doesn't excuse 798 00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:08,520 Speaker 1: the violence and the crimes that occurred at the Capitol, 799 00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:11,680 Speaker 1: but it does indict those who are trying to use 800 00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:15,799 Speaker 1: that those crimes in a way to seem like the 801 00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:20,560 Speaker 1: Republican Party or Trump supporters or conservatives, or trying to 802 00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:24,160 Speaker 1: harm them physically. Of course, the opposite is true. My 803 00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:27,240 Speaker 1: argument would be no matter. Whenever you have a big 804 00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:30,640 Speaker 1: rally somewhere, my guesses you can find fifteen to thirty 805 00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:34,400 Speaker 1: lugheads and all those rallies. The difference between MAGA rallies 806 00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:37,600 Speaker 1: and what we saw with a tef them Black Lives Matter. 807 00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:39,640 Speaker 1: And I went into some of those crowds with Black 808 00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:44,239 Speaker 1: Lives Matter, that was overcome with people who meant to 809 00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:47,399 Speaker 1: do violence, who meant to desecrate, who meant to do 810 00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:51,239 Speaker 1: physical harm to all these important monuments and buildings. That 811 00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:55,640 Speaker 1: was the whole reason to have those riots, where by 812 00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:57,920 Speaker 1: the way, not one cop died, and I really mourned 813 00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:00,319 Speaker 1: the death of this Capitol Hill cop. I consider him hero. 814 00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:03,400 Speaker 1: I think with the memorial they had from him on 815 00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:06,719 Speaker 1: Capitol Hill was totally appropriate. I only wish we could 816 00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:09,320 Speaker 1: have had an equal memorial for all the other cops 817 00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:12,359 Speaker 1: who have lost their life over the course of last 818 00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:15,080 Speaker 1: eighteen months with this left wing violence. You know, just 819 00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:18,920 Speaker 1: because you die trying to save Nancy Pelosi's life doesn't 820 00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:21,960 Speaker 1: make that death more of a tragedy than if you 821 00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:25,600 Speaker 1: tried to bring order around the White House or in 822 00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:28,680 Speaker 1: chop or in Portland, or in Chicago or in New 823 00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:32,960 Speaker 1: York city. The death of these law enforcement officers is 824 00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:36,000 Speaker 1: really a stain on our history, and we ought to 825 00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:41,400 Speaker 1: have more public memorials and accommodations for those law enforcement 826 00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:44,080 Speaker 1: officials who have been killed by this left wing violence. 827 00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:48,080 Speaker 1: All the violence is terrible, it's criminal, and we ought 828 00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:50,480 Speaker 1: to take the lessons from why it's occurring. And I 829 00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:53,520 Speaker 1: definitely think that there. I can tell you about conservatives, 830 00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:55,879 Speaker 1: they feel a little desperate when their votes are taken 831 00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:57,799 Speaker 1: away from them, and when their votes are taken away 832 00:46:57,800 --> 00:47:00,800 Speaker 1: from them, excuse me when there and when their voice 833 00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:02,840 Speaker 1: is taken away from them, when literally they can't speak 834 00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:05,960 Speaker 1: on social media as they have come to expect to 835 00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:08,160 Speaker 1: be able to speak. Speaking of Match Lap, chairman of 836 00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:13,080 Speaker 1: the American Conservative Union, and Seepack Matt, which you are 837 00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:16,560 Speaker 1: the man at Sepack. That's going to be happening in 838 00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:18,319 Speaker 1: just a few weeks. I'm coming down there to see 839 00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:19,680 Speaker 1: you and all the rest of the fine folks the 840 00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:24,520 Speaker 1: conservative movement. What give us the message? And I'm hoping 841 00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:26,640 Speaker 1: some people listening to this will be able to join 842 00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:29,200 Speaker 1: us down in Orlando. It's gonna be nice weather, a 843 00:47:29,239 --> 00:47:30,919 Speaker 1: lot of conservative It's going to be a good time. 844 00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:34,520 Speaker 1: But what is going to be the overriding message when 845 00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:37,560 Speaker 1: you're right now gathering together a lot of conservatives, both 846 00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:40,000 Speaker 1: people who are just supportive of the movement and people 847 00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:42,360 Speaker 1: who are at the forefront, people that have platforms and 848 00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:45,480 Speaker 1: that are trying to spread the message. A lot of 849 00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:47,759 Speaker 1: folks out there are feeling a little dejected right now 850 00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:50,640 Speaker 1: given what's going on in this election, and also the 851 00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:53,840 Speaker 1: first moves of the Biden presidency are not the least 852 00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:56,920 Speaker 1: bit confidence inspiring for anybody who lives in reality. I 853 00:47:56,960 --> 00:48:00,359 Speaker 1: think what is the message going to be then from 854 00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:05,359 Speaker 1: speck Well, Our theme is America uncanceled. They try to 855 00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:09,640 Speaker 1: cancel our votes, our values, and now our voices, and 856 00:48:09,719 --> 00:48:12,560 Speaker 1: so we will spend a lot of time talking about 857 00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:15,239 Speaker 1: what happened around the election and the reforms that are 858 00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:17,920 Speaker 1: needed to It's a very simple prospect that you should 859 00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:19,880 Speaker 1: be a legal voter to be able to vote in 860 00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:24,000 Speaker 1: a democracy, very basic principle. We violated that, We sullied it, 861 00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:26,480 Speaker 1: and that's got to stop. The second thing is this 862 00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:31,120 Speaker 1: idea of how our political voices are being silenced left 863 00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:34,080 Speaker 1: and right, both within the corporate culture of most of 864 00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:38,799 Speaker 1: our publicly traded corporations, on almost every media outlet. Obviously, 865 00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:43,520 Speaker 1: in social media, people are losing their jobs because they 866 00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:46,920 Speaker 1: fly the wrong flag, and that's simply not consistent with 867 00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:51,080 Speaker 1: American values. So we'll be talking about and then finally 868 00:48:51,120 --> 00:48:54,560 Speaker 1: the most important thing. Buck. You can understand this because 869 00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:56,360 Speaker 1: you spend a lot of time talking about these things. 870 00:48:56,719 --> 00:48:59,160 Speaker 1: The new embrace of socialism by one of our two 871 00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:03,120 Speaker 1: major parties has basically meant our Bill of Rights as 872 00:49:03,120 --> 00:49:06,400 Speaker 1: a stop watch on its life, or at least a 873 00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:08,840 Speaker 1: clock on its life. They don't believe in these in 874 00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:10,600 Speaker 1: the Bill of Rights, if you walk through each one. 875 00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:12,759 Speaker 1: They clearly don't believe in the First Amendment because they 876 00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:14,960 Speaker 1: think that it's fine to have illegal votes and they 877 00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:17,320 Speaker 1: think it's fine to cancel people's political speech. So the 878 00:49:17,360 --> 00:49:20,560 Speaker 1: First Amendment, and we all know about religious freedom, that's 879 00:49:21,080 --> 00:49:23,279 Speaker 1: you know, that's been under attack for a decade now. 880 00:49:23,520 --> 00:49:26,600 Speaker 1: They don't believe in the Second Amendment. Obviously, Joe Biden 881 00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:29,719 Speaker 1: ran on gun confiscation saying that you're not kind of 882 00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:31,560 Speaker 1: up to your gun rights, so we'll just take your 883 00:49:31,560 --> 00:49:33,799 Speaker 1: guns away from you. And if you walk through all 884 00:49:33,840 --> 00:49:37,680 Speaker 1: of these amendments, they basically don't believe in the Amendment. 885 00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:40,839 Speaker 1: Now they believe in a free press, supposedly, even though 886 00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:43,520 Speaker 1: that free press doesn't seem to want to take our 887 00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:45,600 Speaker 1: side into account, which doesn't make it free at all, 888 00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:48,279 Speaker 1: which makes a propaganda. But I guess you could try 889 00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:49,799 Speaker 1: to find a way to get that into the latter 890 00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:52,480 Speaker 1: part of the First Amendment. But so here or there 891 00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:55,759 Speaker 1: they don't have disagreements, but ninety they don't agree with 892 00:49:55,760 --> 00:49:57,759 Speaker 1: the Bill of Rights back to me is a very 893 00:49:57,840 --> 00:50:01,480 Speaker 1: dangerous thing in our country that we've ever been here before. 894 00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:04,279 Speaker 1: We had one of our two major parties literally rejecting 895 00:50:04,600 --> 00:50:07,760 Speaker 1: the underpinnings of the Constitution. They used to use euphemisms. 896 00:50:07,880 --> 00:50:11,000 Speaker 1: They'd say, oh, it's a living, breathing document. We cherish 897 00:50:11,080 --> 00:50:13,000 Speaker 1: this document, you know, we just want to see some 898 00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:15,840 Speaker 1: changes to it now that they don't support any amendas. 899 00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:19,240 Speaker 1: Isn't that Iran liberals don't support any amends or constitution. 900 00:50:19,320 --> 00:50:21,399 Speaker 1: We do as conservatives because we know that's how you're 901 00:50:21,400 --> 00:50:24,480 Speaker 1: supposed to change the constitution. That's the way our founders 902 00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:27,120 Speaker 1: that that was the process they left in the constitution 903 00:50:27,160 --> 00:50:29,480 Speaker 1: because they knew one day we'd make slavery illegal. They 904 00:50:29,600 --> 00:50:32,640 Speaker 1: kept that in there on purpose. Women got economic rights, 905 00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:34,920 Speaker 1: they got the boat. This is how that was done. 906 00:50:35,239 --> 00:50:37,080 Speaker 1: But they don't believe in in amendments because they just 907 00:50:37,120 --> 00:50:39,200 Speaker 1: go to the court where they go to a regulator 908 00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:42,239 Speaker 1: and by FIAT, they just change the world. Matt, where 909 00:50:42,239 --> 00:50:44,839 Speaker 1: can people go if they if they want to either 910 00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:48,680 Speaker 1: partake in person or online to join us at seapack 911 00:50:48,719 --> 00:50:51,640 Speaker 1: in a few weeks. You're a better pitchman than I am. Yeah, 912 00:50:51,680 --> 00:50:54,120 Speaker 1: go to Conservative dot org. There's a few tickets left. 913 00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:56,840 Speaker 1: We will sell out. We're making announcements every day and 914 00:50:56,880 --> 00:50:58,960 Speaker 1: we'd love to have you down there. Match Lap of 915 00:50:58,960 --> 00:51:01,799 Speaker 1: the American Conservatives Union, Matt, I always appreciate it, see 916 00:51:01,800 --> 00:51:04,080 Speaker 1: you down in sunny Florida.
