WEBVTT - Buck’s First Thoughts -Pentagon Orders White Supremacy Crackdown 0:00:00.440 --> 0:00:03.240 This is Buck's first thoughts. The news you need to 0:00:03.240 --> 0:00:05.840 get for your day in forty five minutes. Make sure 0:00:05.880 --> 0:00:08.520 you subscribe on the iHeart app or wherever you get 0:00:08.560 --> 0:00:15.080 your podcasts. The purge is underway, as you know. In fact, 0:00:15.120 --> 0:00:18.680 it's gaining it's gaining steam. And they'll tell you that 0:00:18.760 --> 0:00:21.560 it is for the worst elements of our society. They'll 0:00:21.600 --> 0:00:24.760 tell you that it's about getting rid of white supremacists, 0:00:24.800 --> 0:00:32.080 domestic terrorists, awful violent people, insurrectionists. But when you listen 0:00:32.120 --> 0:00:35.760 to the actual language they use, it's much broader than that. 0:00:37.040 --> 0:00:40.840 It's really an attempt to try to smear anyone who 0:00:40.920 --> 0:00:43.959 is right of center, if they voted for Trump, if 0:00:43.960 --> 0:00:47.360 they were a part of any of the pro Trump rallies, 0:00:47.400 --> 0:00:51.120 particularly after the election, they must be evil and our 0:00:51.200 --> 0:00:55.480 institutions have to be cleansed of this. And cleansing is 0:00:55.520 --> 0:00:58.760 obviously a term that should put everyone's the hair on 0:00:58.760 --> 0:01:01.880 their arms standing up. That's not something that we should 0:01:01.880 --> 0:01:05.160 be thinking of when we're talking about government bodies, and 0:01:05.280 --> 0:01:08.720 especially when you're looking at the military. But this is 0:01:08.760 --> 0:01:12.920 now the plain language of the Democrat Party today. You've 0:01:12.959 --> 0:01:16.520 got Joe Biden, for example, who's out there talking about 0:01:16.600 --> 0:01:20.920 white supremacy as an enemy that we must combat. And 0:01:20.959 --> 0:01:24.760 I would just say, as we look at this, we 0:01:24.880 --> 0:01:28.880 need to remember that this is a group of people. 0:01:28.880 --> 0:01:31.200 When you're talking about actual white supremacists, it's a group 0:01:31.240 --> 0:01:35.800 of people who are marginalized and maligned all throughout society, 0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:40.800 including on the right and rightly so. But how often 0:01:40.840 --> 0:01:46.320 do we go around really worried about flat earthers overtaking 0:01:46.319 --> 0:01:48.360 the scientific community. I mean, how often do we go 0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:52.760 around thinking that some fringe group of lunatics are really 0:01:52.800 --> 0:01:57.000 about to overthrow the United States government, or some radical, 0:01:57.240 --> 0:02:02.080 violent extremist entity from within is just days away from 0:02:02.080 --> 0:02:04.160 trying to launch some kind of a coup. There's a 0:02:04.320 --> 0:02:08.640 hysteria around this. We should all recognize that, we should 0:02:08.680 --> 0:02:11.680 see it for what it is. And it's very concerning 0:02:11.680 --> 0:02:14.560 to me because I've been sounding the alarm about the 0:02:14.639 --> 0:02:20.280 expansion of the term white supremacy to include things that 0:02:20.400 --> 0:02:24.480 no reasonable rational person would ever say or in fact 0:02:24.600 --> 0:02:28.639 white supremacist when you use that term in the past, 0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:32.799 and you can go back to two movies in the nineties, 0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:35.760 go back to pop culture and the way we would 0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:38.160 talk about these things. If you heard of a neo 0:02:38.280 --> 0:02:40.920 Nazi or a white supremacist. It was going to be 0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:45.880 a person who was hateful toward other races, who was 0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:52.680 vicious evil covered in swastika's usually shaved head. You know, 0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:55.079 there are all these things, your skinheads, There are all 0:02:55.080 --> 0:02:59.239 these signifiers. And it was like a ghotist. It was 0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:04.680 a person who had become overtaken by an evil ideology 0:03:05.080 --> 0:03:07.600 and it was their heinous I mean, they're the bad guys. 0:03:07.880 --> 0:03:10.120 We all get that, the same way that any Nazi 0:03:10.160 --> 0:03:11.600 would be a bad guy, the same way that any 0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:14.720 communist is a bad guy or ge hottest. Right, these 0:03:14.720 --> 0:03:20.440 are extreme ideologies that always result in violence, authoritarianism, and 0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:23.840 destruction if they achieve power, and even if they're out 0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:27.120 of power, they can be destructive on a smaller scale. 0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:30.160 So we all understood that the white supremacy was bad. 0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:33.080 We all get that, you know the same way that 0:03:33.120 --> 0:03:35.240 we all know murder is bad. This is a very 0:03:35.280 --> 0:03:39.160 straightforward thing. But now when you hear the terminology and 0:03:39.360 --> 0:03:42.640 when you hear the usage of this, all of a sudden, 0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:48.320 white supremacy is having too many books by white authors 0:03:48.360 --> 0:03:51.200 in a store. White supremacy, and this is how the 0:03:51.360 --> 0:03:53.480 left talks about it. I know you hear this. You say, 0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:59.920 that's crazy. White supremacy. Is somebody advocating against affirmative action 0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:04.920 in college admissions and pointing to how it discriminates against 0:04:04.960 --> 0:04:09.720 Asian Americans more than anyone else in the process. White supremacy. Right, 0:04:09.720 --> 0:04:12.480 Why should we shut down a gifted and talented schools 0:04:12.560 --> 0:04:18.880 or schools for the gifted more generally that overprivileged the 0:04:18.920 --> 0:04:21.719 Asian American community. Well, it's because of the system of 0:04:21.760 --> 0:04:23.960 white supremacy we have. This is what people will say. 0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:29.279 And now we have an entire government that is latching 0:04:29.320 --> 0:04:33.159 onto this as as the the boogeyman, so to speak. 0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:35.680 This is the evil that we are all supposed to 0:04:35.680 --> 0:04:39.240 be hiding under our beds from, or word is hiding 0:04:39.279 --> 0:04:40.920 under our bed If you think about the way the 0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:44.640 boogeyman is usually thought of, this is what we're supposed 0:04:44.640 --> 0:04:46.880 to be confronting as a society. We're in the middle 0:04:46.920 --> 0:04:52.080 of a pandemic, a double pandemic of a disease and 0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:57.560 draconian authoritarian lockdowns from the disease that do not work. 0:04:57.680 --> 0:05:00.919 If Governor Ron DeSantis says it, I can say it. 0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:06.960 Censor that social media platforms. I'm on radio. What now, 0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:11.679 Governor Ron De Santis is right. I'm right they did 0:05:11.920 --> 0:05:16.880 not work. These lockdowns were a failure. But let me 0:05:16.880 --> 0:05:20.120 get back to white supremacy here for a moment. I 0:05:20.160 --> 0:05:22.800 want to read you this isn't the Military Times, right, 0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:26.080 which you know obviously focuses on defense issues and United 0:05:26.120 --> 0:05:30.720 States Arms Services, and it's about Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin. 0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:33.360 I actually remember I was in Bagdad years ago and 0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:36.320 I was part of a briefing. He wouldn't remember me. 0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:39.320 I was interchangeable with all the other guys walking around 0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:41.200 dressed like they were on a camping trip. What are 0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:43.960 you guys doing here? Oh? You're those guys, right, I 0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:48.520 was one of those in the war zone. But you know, 0:05:49.160 --> 0:05:52.080 I sat down, I briefed him. I remember thinking that 0:05:52.120 --> 0:05:55.400 this guy had the kind of command presence among a 0:05:55.400 --> 0:05:58.120 lot of other senior folks that he probably had a 0:05:58.160 --> 0:06:04.040 future in politics. But so I remember General Austin, and 0:06:04.720 --> 0:06:07.560 now Military Times writing he's now the Secretary of Defense, 0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:11.440 as you know, and he's called on quote Services to 0:06:11.560 --> 0:06:16.760 conduct a sixty day standdown on the issue of extremism 0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:20.800 in the military, prompted by the January sixth attack on 0:06:20.839 --> 0:06:24.480 the Capitol and subsequent reports of active duty and former 0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:29.080 service members attending a rally calling to overturn the twenty 0:06:29.160 --> 0:06:32.719 twenty election and the riot that ensued. Hold on a 0:06:32.720 --> 0:06:35.760 second look, look what they This is a perfect example 0:06:35.760 --> 0:06:39.200 of what I'm talking about. We gotta do a whole standout, 0:06:39.240 --> 0:06:41.919 we gotta do a hot wash, we gotta do a 0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:45.760 after action report. We have to do a review of 0:06:47.200 --> 0:06:52.080 white nationalist or white supremacist extremism in the military. And 0:06:52.120 --> 0:06:53.839 then they when they go to describe what we're talking 0:06:53.839 --> 0:06:57.040 about here, it's people who attended a rally to overturn 0:06:57.120 --> 0:06:59.640 the twenty twenty election. I know people who were at 0:06:59.720 --> 0:07:03.200 the rally in DC on January sixth, and they were 0:07:03.240 --> 0:07:06.400 there because they believe that there was a need for 0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:10.720 election results, for the argument over election results to be 0:07:10.760 --> 0:07:13.880 had in the United States Congress, for the presentation of evidence, 0:07:14.280 --> 0:07:17.120 and they thought that that was within this system and 0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:18.920 the right thing to do. They really believe that there 0:07:18.960 --> 0:07:21.760 had been a stolen election. I know many people still 0:07:21.800 --> 0:07:24.440 believe that there was a stolen election. That doesn't make 0:07:24.440 --> 0:07:27.440 them white supremacists, has nothing to do with it. The 0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:30.920 same way that the Capitol Hill riot wasn't a white 0:07:30.960 --> 0:07:34.400 supremacist riot. But you see how now they take this 0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:39.000 action and some of the individuals involved and everybody who's 0:07:39.040 --> 0:07:45.080 even vaguely ideologically associated with them, including thousands and thousands 0:07:45.080 --> 0:07:47.880 of people. They estimate eight hundred people storm Capitol Hill. 0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:50.240 There were at least one hundred thousand people in DC 0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:53.680 on that day, So it's about one percent maybe, and 0:07:53.720 --> 0:07:56.120 I know some people say it was much larger than that. 0:07:56.600 --> 0:07:59.440 So about one percent of the people gathered actually broke 0:07:59.480 --> 0:08:03.320 the law and did something wrong. Everybody else what they did. 0:08:03.640 --> 0:08:06.480 You can disagree with how they view the election, but 0:08:06.600 --> 0:08:10.040 they are completely within their rights, and I support their 0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:13.600 right to lawfully protests and have their voices heard in 0:08:13.600 --> 0:08:18.280 our nation's capital. This is very straightforward. This is about principle. 0:08:18.320 --> 0:08:20.880 But look what they did. They're calling here for former 0:08:20.960 --> 0:08:25.040 service members, quote attending a rally, calling to overturn the 0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:30.400 twenty twenty election. Attendance at the rally is cause for suspicion. 0:08:31.560 --> 0:08:33.480 That's all you have to do. If you win, if 0:08:33.520 --> 0:08:37.959 you engaged in lawful protest, you now if you're a 0:08:38.000 --> 0:08:40.839 former military, if you're current military, for sure, you are 0:08:40.880 --> 0:08:44.160 now somebody that maybe can't be trusted you're an insurrectionist. 0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:47.840 This is what they say. This is what we're told. 0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:53.720 And the guidance from Austin is as follows. Quote. It 0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:57.960 wasn't a it wasn't just a blithe go talk to 0:08:58.000 --> 0:09:01.800 your people. Of Austin's direction, the service secretaries and Joint chiefs. 0:09:02.280 --> 0:09:04.280 He was very clear he wants commands to take the 0:09:04.400 --> 0:09:07.880 necessary time to speak with troops about the scope of 0:09:07.920 --> 0:09:10.640 this problem and get a sense from them about what 0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:14.120 they're seeing at their level. Do you think that some uh, 0:09:14.200 --> 0:09:16.920 some kind of you know, wimpy left wing bureaucrat type, 0:09:16.920 --> 0:09:19.679 which they exist everywhere, There are those people, even in 0:09:19.760 --> 0:09:23.040 the military. H Do you do you think that they're 0:09:23.080 --> 0:09:26.480 going to see somebody with a MAGA flag over their bunk? 0:09:27.240 --> 0:09:28.480 You know? Do you think that they're going to see 0:09:28.480 --> 0:09:31.199 somebody who still so you know, thinks that the GADS 0:09:31.240 --> 0:09:33.520 didn't flag as a cool design from history and they 0:09:33.559 --> 0:09:36.480 want to and maybe they get reported. Just give it time, 0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:42.680 Just give it time. Um. This is this is really 0:09:43.720 --> 0:09:48.439 upsetting to see because you can understand why, why this 0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:51.240 is going to get worse, Why are they doing this 0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:56.440 white supremacy in the military. Uh, this is all all 0:09:56.480 --> 0:09:58.280 of a sudden we've discovered this problem because of the 0:09:58.360 --> 0:10:01.840 January sixth riot. That's what they're saying. This is political. 0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:05.760 I've never met a white supremacist. I mean I point 0:10:05.800 --> 0:10:07.880 this out to people I have met the hottest terrorists 0:10:07.920 --> 0:10:10.760 I have met, you know, people of other extremist ideologies. 0:10:10.760 --> 0:10:13.120 And I'm not saying there aren't white supremacists. You always 0:10:13.160 --> 0:10:15.120 have to you always have to establish these things that 0:10:15.160 --> 0:10:17.679 every sane person knows. Of course there are white supremacists, 0:10:17.679 --> 0:10:23.520 There are evil racists. Are they powerful in this country. 0:10:23.200 --> 0:10:28.080 They're the most and rightly so maligned people in all 0:10:28.120 --> 0:10:31.720 of American society. I mean, you won't be able to 0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:34.520 get a job, to rent, or buy a home, to 0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:36.400 to be on the internet. I mean, you know, you're 0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:40.200 you're a target for everybody. You're a white supremacist, an 0:10:40.200 --> 0:10:42.720 actual white supremacist in the real sense of the term. 0:10:43.640 --> 0:10:46.760 But that's not what this is about. We've already got 0:10:46.760 --> 0:10:51.280 that problem is contained and controlled. They're they're losers. They're 0:10:51.320 --> 0:10:53.960 trying to expand the concept of white supremacy to include 0:10:53.960 --> 0:10:57.400 people who attend and by I'm reading you from this article, 0:10:57.679 --> 0:11:02.880 attended the rally on January six didn't break any laws, 0:11:02.880 --> 0:11:04.800 didn't go to the capitol, but if you attended the 0:11:04.880 --> 0:11:10.599 rally rally, you're suspect. You know, this is what authoritarian 0:11:10.640 --> 0:11:14.640 regimes do. They have to cleanse wrong thing from within 0:11:14.720 --> 0:11:19.800 major institutions like the like the military, and like the 0:11:19.920 --> 0:11:26.720 federal bureaucracy. Military Times owned poland Quote has shown that, anecdotally, 0:11:26.920 --> 0:11:30.360 oh that sounds really official, more than one third of 0:11:30.440 --> 0:11:33.800 active duty troops and more than half of minority service 0:11:33.840 --> 0:11:40.280 members have witnessed signs of white supremacy in their colleagues. Further, 0:11:40.520 --> 0:11:45.280 survey respondents ranked white nationalism as a bigger national security 0:11:45.320 --> 0:11:50.480 domestic terror as a bigger national security threat domestic than 0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:55.719 domestic terrorist groups affiliated with Islam. For instance, events of 0:11:55.800 --> 0:12:00.199 January six served as a wake up call. It it's 0:12:00.559 --> 0:12:03.960 amazing to see this. I mean, you're telling me that, 0:12:05.160 --> 0:12:10.079 let's be very clear, because of this ideology of wokeness, 0:12:10.120 --> 0:12:13.000 actually that's out there that sees whites. Of wokeness means 0:12:13.000 --> 0:12:15.520 the white supremacy is all around us, and it's everywhere, 0:12:15.760 --> 0:12:18.160 and we have to constantly combat it. They've created this 0:12:18.240 --> 0:12:22.840 omnipresent white supremacy. As a result of that, you have 0:12:23.800 --> 0:12:27.880 service members here saying they've quote witnessed signs of white supremacy. 0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:33.560 Half of minority service members say they've seen that. Really, like, 0:12:33.679 --> 0:12:39.120 what where? What counts as that? And I really mean that. 0:12:39.160 --> 0:12:43.080 I'd like to know. Is it who gets promoted and 0:12:43.120 --> 0:12:45.120 who doesn't? Is that? Is that the kind of white 0:12:45.120 --> 0:12:48.000 supremacy we're talking about, because remember how the definitions expanded. 0:12:48.320 --> 0:12:51.360 Or is it somebody who actually you know, is a 0:12:51.440 --> 0:12:53.559 member of some kind of white power society and has 0:12:53.600 --> 0:12:57.160 a swastika tattoo on his knuckles. Which one is it? 0:12:57.160 --> 0:13:00.240 Because there's a whole lot of difference between those two things. 0:13:00.760 --> 0:13:03.640 But you see, this is a power This is a 0:13:03.679 --> 0:13:06.920 power move and the chilling effect on conservatism on the 0:13:07.000 --> 0:13:10.080 right in general from pretending there's this huge threat of 0:13:10.080 --> 0:13:13.960 white supremacy. It's everywhere, It's even in our military. This 0:13:14.040 --> 0:13:18.800 is a hysterical lie, but it's a very very potent one. 0:13:19.240 --> 0:13:22.960 If you want to keep people fearful and if you 0:13:23.000 --> 0:13:25.080 want to make sure that you can get away with 0:13:25.120 --> 0:13:29.400 whatever mechanisms of control you decide to deploy. This is 0:13:29.440 --> 0:13:31.959 happening within our own military, and it's happening from a 0:13:32.040 --> 0:13:37.400 top down, from the Secretary Defense. This is the buck 0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:42.520 Sexton Show podcast. Follow Buck on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. 0:13:43.280 --> 0:13:45.400 You know, I have attended many of these prayer breakfasts 0:13:45.440 --> 0:13:48.480 over the years, with a nation of war and struggle 0:13:48.480 --> 0:13:52.160 and strife, a nation of peace and prosperity, a nation, 0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:55.640 though always in prayer. But we know this time is different. 0:13:55.720 --> 0:13:58.560 Over four hundred thousand of our fellow Americans have lost 0:13:58.600 --> 0:14:02.000 their lives to a deadly virus. Millions are out of work. 0:14:02.600 --> 0:14:05.840 We see long lines for food at food banks that 0:14:05.960 --> 0:14:09.800 stretch for miles. We hear the call for racial justice, 0:14:10.320 --> 0:14:13.400 some four hundred years in the making, and we know 0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:18.720 the dream, and more importantly, the reality of justice for all, 0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:23.520 cannot be deferred any longer. We see the exidential threat 0:14:23.520 --> 0:14:26.920 of climate crisis that poses to our planet and everywhere 0:14:26.920 --> 0:14:31.880 we turn, with more severe floods, stronger hurricanes, more intense wildfires. 0:14:32.120 --> 0:14:34.920 We just have to open our eyes. We've just witnessed 0:14:34.920 --> 0:14:39.920 images that we've never imagined, images that now we'll never forget. 0:14:40.600 --> 0:14:44.040 A violent assault the US capital, on our assault on 0:14:44.080 --> 0:14:47.640 our democracy, on our capitol, a violent attack that threatened 0:14:47.680 --> 0:14:50.160 lives and took lives. And we know now we must 0:14:50.200 --> 0:14:56.040 confront and defeat political extremism. White supremacy and domestic terrorism, 0:14:56.240 --> 0:14:58.760 White supremacy and domestic terrorist. This is Joe Biden on 0:14:58.840 --> 0:15:03.160 a prayer breakfast. This is the urgent national security threat 0:15:03.400 --> 0:15:08.880 defeating white supremacy and domestic terrorism. Um, okay, what does 0:15:08.920 --> 0:15:12.720 that look like? Where is this threat? Just show me where? 0:15:12.760 --> 0:15:15.960 Where are all these white supremacists? I asked the question. 0:15:16.040 --> 0:15:18.360 I never get an answer. Where are they? But there's 0:15:18.400 --> 0:15:23.320 some some compound of brainless, toothless losers somewhere. Who are 0:15:23.960 --> 0:15:26.440 you know, thinking that there there's some kind of you know, 0:15:26.920 --> 0:15:29.440 neo Nazi cult that's going to take over America. Yeah, 0:15:29.440 --> 0:15:32.120 I mean they're they're disgusting and everyone hates them and 0:15:32.120 --> 0:15:36.120 they're ostracized from society. Where are the white supremacists that 0:15:36.160 --> 0:15:40.000 have infiltrated all the institutions and that are speaking openly 0:15:40.000 --> 0:15:45.280 about this and that are pushing where Well, it depends, 0:15:45.280 --> 0:15:48.400 of course, on how you define the term. And increasingly 0:15:48.480 --> 0:15:51.520 what you see is that it's defined so broadly that 0:15:51.600 --> 0:15:56.160 it can mean whatever whatever racial justice issue. The left 0:15:56.200 --> 0:15:58.800 wants to wants to really put a lot of a 0:15:58.840 --> 0:16:00.840 lot of focus on all of a sud They start using, 0:16:01.840 --> 0:16:04.760 you know, the WUS term. They start throwing it around. 0:16:04.760 --> 0:16:07.119 They start saying, oh, this is we need to dismantle 0:16:07.240 --> 0:16:11.400 systems of white supremacy. Like what, where? Where is this? 0:16:12.240 --> 0:16:14.080 What does it even really mean? Think about the term. 0:16:14.080 --> 0:16:16.880 I mean, it's a very Remember remember what they did 0:16:16.880 --> 0:16:20.440 with racism. Racism is bad. We all know that racism 0:16:20.480 --> 0:16:23.160 is immoral, and this is just a this is a 0:16:23.280 --> 0:16:28.280 universal truth. Racism is immoral. They started calling everything racism 0:16:28.280 --> 0:16:30.280 back in the nineties, remember this, And they were there 0:16:30.280 --> 0:16:32.200 actually because we had comedians then it could make jokes. 0:16:32.200 --> 0:16:34.200 They would make jokes about how everything was racist. Right. 0:16:34.200 --> 0:16:37.840 There was in the movie PCU, which is still a 0:16:37.840 --> 0:16:39.680 great watch if you want to go back and check 0:16:39.720 --> 0:16:42.640 it out. But there's a there's a group of of 0:16:44.280 --> 0:16:48.560 I guess you'd call it woke, you know, woke campus activists, 0:16:48.600 --> 0:16:50.880 and one of the one of the fellows is African American. 0:16:50.920 --> 0:16:54.120 He's walking around and he's, you know, his question is 0:16:54.160 --> 0:16:56.960 why is the chalk white and why is the blackboard black? Right, 0:16:56.960 --> 0:16:59.600 I mean, this is racism and that that's one of 0:16:59.600 --> 0:17:02.640 the you know, and he goes, right, you've seen it 0:17:02.680 --> 0:17:03.760 in the movie. I mean, we used to kind of 0:17:03.760 --> 0:17:06.040 be aware that people would call things racist. That's actually 0:17:06.080 --> 0:17:08.920 not racist, has nothing to do with racism. And over 0:17:09.000 --> 0:17:12.040 time that accusation, they used it so much for purposes 0:17:12.040 --> 0:17:14.600 of power right the left, the Democrats used this against 0:17:14.640 --> 0:17:17.359 any of their perceived political enemies that it started to 0:17:17.440 --> 0:17:20.800 lose its sting and started to lose its ability to 0:17:21.720 --> 0:17:24.040 put people in fear. It became just a kind of 0:17:24.080 --> 0:17:27.719 an absurdity. The accusation without any underlying truth, was just 0:17:28.160 --> 0:17:31.760 it was a smear, an obvious pathetic smear. So what 0:17:31.880 --> 0:17:34.960 they do now they've up, Now they've gone to white supremacy. Oh, 0:17:35.040 --> 0:17:38.280 let's see, that's even it's even scarier that conjures up. 0:17:38.680 --> 0:17:41.600 You know, neo nazis doing violence to people based on 0:17:41.640 --> 0:17:43.639 skin color. We have to fight them right away, and 0:17:43.640 --> 0:17:47.840 we should. But that's not what they're referring to. They're 0:17:47.880 --> 0:17:50.760 they're not referring to the character you know in American 0:17:50.800 --> 0:17:54.960 history X. They're referring to college admissions that don't have 0:17:57.080 --> 0:18:00.840 awoke enough philosophy of who gets to go to the school. Well, 0:18:01.200 --> 0:18:04.399 that seems like quite an important change in terminology, isn't it. 0:18:06.119 --> 0:18:09.400 You're listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Make sure 0:18:09.400 --> 0:18:12.040 you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeart Radio app 0:18:12.320 --> 0:18:15.120 or wherever you get your podcasts. Yeah, this is a 0:18:15.160 --> 0:18:21.200 deliberate war against everybody whose views would be considered traditionally American. 0:18:21.680 --> 0:18:25.680 And consider they have on the Intelligence Committee somebody who 0:18:25.720 --> 0:18:28.760 the FBI has told them had a multi year relationship 0:18:28.760 --> 0:18:32.159 with the Chinese communist spy. Now that's not really a problem, 0:18:32.240 --> 0:18:35.160 because after all, Communist China is not really a bad country. 0:18:35.640 --> 0:18:37.080 When you go down the stuff and you begin to 0:18:37.160 --> 0:18:41.879 realize these people operate in a different universe. What happened, 0:18:41.920 --> 0:18:45.400 I think was the Trump scared them for the first time. 0:18:45.440 --> 0:18:48.800 They saw all of their dreams, all of their hopes disappearing, 0:18:49.160 --> 0:18:52.720 and their reaction has been one of ferocity, which I 0:18:52.760 --> 0:18:56.000 find frightening. I mean, I worry for anybody who's openly 0:18:56.080 --> 0:18:59.440 publicly in favor of traditional America, because you just don't 0:18:59.440 --> 0:19:02.920 know what the left is going to do. They're gonna 0:19:03.040 --> 0:19:06.280 attack you, They're gonna make you suffer, They're gonna try 0:19:06.320 --> 0:19:08.920 to ruin you, try to destroy you. I mean Newt 0:19:08.960 --> 0:19:12.880 Gingrich sees it is. It is now clear that there 0:19:12.920 --> 0:19:16.719 are obvious truths that you you speak at your peril 0:19:18.080 --> 0:19:22.320 whole range of issues, and the Left doesn't even really 0:19:22.320 --> 0:19:26.320 bother to make arguments anymore. Their arguments in the past 0:19:26.359 --> 0:19:28.320 were weak, but they figured if they yelled them enough, 0:19:29.560 --> 0:19:33.479 and if they control enough institutions, they'd be able to 0:19:34.240 --> 0:19:38.359 get what they want even if logic, facts, reason and 0:19:38.400 --> 0:19:42.000 everything else wasn't on their side. That's that's the way 0:19:42.040 --> 0:19:44.159 that the game used to be played. Now they're just 0:19:44.200 --> 0:19:47.800 saying do this because we say so. They're not even 0:19:47.800 --> 0:19:50.680 really telling you why you should do the thing. And 0:19:51.320 --> 0:19:55.160 I think that the Left has found in the COVID lockdown, specifically, 0:19:55.880 --> 0:19:59.720 the perfect vessel for their dream of total societal control. 0:20:00.200 --> 0:20:03.040 They also have this with climate change. But climate change, 0:20:03.280 --> 0:20:06.199 as much as they try to force the urgency of 0:20:06.320 --> 0:20:09.520 the climate crisis and it's existential, as much as they 0:20:09.560 --> 0:20:13.840 try to convince everybody of that, well adjusted normal people 0:20:13.880 --> 0:20:16.320 are like, even if they believe in climate changes, they go, 0:20:16.400 --> 0:20:18.160 I mean, come on, it's not the world's not gonna 0:20:18.240 --> 0:20:20.480 end tomorrow. Let's catch our breath here. It's not gonna 0:20:20.560 --> 0:20:22.800 end in five years. It's not gonna end in fifty 0:20:22.840 --> 0:20:24.600 And if it ends in five hundred years, how much 0:20:24.640 --> 0:20:26.320 do I really care? I mean, that's that's kind of 0:20:26.320 --> 0:20:27.959 where a lot of people are on this one. How 0:20:28.000 --> 0:20:29.960 do I even know, who will even know what five 0:20:30.040 --> 0:20:32.399 hundred years from now is going to be like. But 0:20:33.760 --> 0:20:36.240 with COVID, because we have had a lot of people, 0:20:36.280 --> 0:20:38.680 a lot of older people who have died from from 0:20:38.720 --> 0:20:45.159 this respiratory virus, they were able to get the crisis 0:20:45.240 --> 0:20:49.440 and the panic and the anxiety at a level where 0:20:49.480 --> 0:20:51.320 they could begin to remake society. I mean, they could 0:20:51.359 --> 0:20:55.199 tell you how you can breathe. That's now all a 0:20:55.240 --> 0:20:57.800 part of this too. And I've been walking you through 0:20:57.840 --> 0:21:00.720 because I know what they're gonna do. You know, they 0:21:00.840 --> 0:21:03.480 have to cover up now we saw something we said, 0:21:03.480 --> 0:21:08.680 hold on a second. Fauci says two masks are better 0:21:08.720 --> 0:21:12.680 than one, and then Auster Holmes says, actually, two masks 0:21:12.720 --> 0:21:16.120 are worse than one, and then Fauci says there's no 0:21:16.240 --> 0:21:19.680 data to support wearing two masks, And then people say, well, 0:21:19.680 --> 0:21:24.120 hold on a second. If two masks isn't better than one, 0:21:24.320 --> 0:21:27.240 why that makes me think that maybe we got to 0:21:27.240 --> 0:21:29.159 look at this more and can we even have a 0:21:29.160 --> 0:21:32.760 discussion about this. So then Fauci has to change it 0:21:32.840 --> 0:21:36.880 up again to say, well, the CDC may soon tell 0:21:37.000 --> 0:21:40.360 people two masks are better than one. We gotta get 0:21:40.359 --> 0:21:42.840 the data, and let me tell you, they're going to 0:21:42.920 --> 0:21:46.600 come up with some bullcrap anecdotal study about you know, 0:21:46.720 --> 0:21:48.880 someone says that they were doing two and someone else 0:21:48.880 --> 0:21:51.080 said one, and it's not going to be an actual 0:21:51.160 --> 0:21:54.200 scientific study at all. And then all of a sudden 0:21:54.240 --> 0:21:56.760 they'll make its way under the CDC website and then 0:21:56.800 --> 0:21:59.000 the CDC we all have to listen to. Has the 0:21:59.040 --> 0:22:02.359 CDC saved lot of us? Can I just ask you 0:22:02.440 --> 0:22:04.720 think about that for a second. Has the CDC saved 0:22:04.720 --> 0:22:06.840 a lot of lives in the COVID pandemic? I mean, 0:22:06.880 --> 0:22:09.920 this is there, this is their D Day invasion, right 0:22:10.000 --> 0:22:13.879 This COVID pandemic is the CDC's moment show us what 0:22:13.960 --> 0:22:16.359 they're why they're funded, what they're really made of. You 0:22:16.359 --> 0:22:18.560 know what they've done. They messed up testing in the 0:22:18.600 --> 0:22:21.520 earliest days, when it was absolutely essential to figure out 0:22:21.520 --> 0:22:23.880 what we were really dealing with. They completely botched testing. 0:22:25.080 --> 0:22:28.480 They've changed the guidance many many times. And ultimately what 0:22:28.520 --> 0:22:31.720 they've told this is, you know, you should probably block 0:22:31.840 --> 0:22:34.320 down and just avoid life while this virus is out 0:22:34.320 --> 0:22:37.040 there as much as you know you can stomach and 0:22:37.560 --> 0:22:39.400 or as much as other people will make you stomach 0:22:39.520 --> 0:22:44.160 and wash your hands and wear a mask. Thanks CDC. Wow, 0:22:45.040 --> 0:22:49.400 amazing stuff from them. And here's Foucci. Though, as I've 0:22:49.440 --> 0:22:52.000 been telling you, setting the groundwork, you're gonna you're gonna 0:22:52.000 --> 0:22:55.840 start to see businesses that say one mask required, two 0:22:55.920 --> 0:23:01.680 masks preferred. It's gonna happen play four in the meantime, 0:23:01.760 --> 0:23:05.600 as I often get asked, should you be wearing two 0:23:05.640 --> 0:23:11.280 masks or one mask? And I say, there's no recommendation. However, 0:23:11.720 --> 0:23:14.400 there are many people who take the common sense approach. 0:23:14.800 --> 0:23:17.960 If you're talking about a physical barrier, and as the 0:23:18.000 --> 0:23:21.520 CDC recommends, you want at least two layers within the 0:23:21.560 --> 0:23:24.800 mask as a physical barrier, and you feel maybe more 0:23:24.960 --> 0:23:28.080 of a physical barrier would be better, there's nothing wrong 0:23:28.440 --> 0:23:32.920 with people wearing two masks. I often myself wear two masks. 0:23:33.240 --> 0:23:37.920 Can we make a general recommendation that doesn't have scientific 0:23:38.000 --> 0:23:42.480 basis yet? No, But when the science comes along and 0:23:42.640 --> 0:23:45.399 tells us that it is better or not, then you 0:23:45.440 --> 0:23:49.240 will see a recommendation being made by the CDC. They're 0:23:49.280 --> 0:23:51.800 going to manufacture something and they're going to say that 0:23:51.840 --> 0:23:54.439 the science is settled, and now we know that two 0:23:54.480 --> 0:23:57.800 masks are better than one and it's not amazing because 0:23:57.800 --> 0:23:59.560
