Speaker 1: This is Buck's first thoughts. The news you need to
Speaker 1: get for your day in forty five minutes. Make sure
Speaker 1: you subscribe on the iHeart app or wherever you get
Speaker 1: your podcasts. The purge is underway, as you know. In fact,
Speaker 1: it's gaining it's gaining steam. And they'll tell you that
Speaker 1: it is for the worst elements of our society. They'll
Speaker 1: tell you that it's about getting rid of white supremacists,
Speaker 1: domestic terrorists, awful violent people, insurrectionists. But when you listen
Speaker 1: to the actual language they use, it's much broader than that.
Speaker 1: It's really an attempt to try to smear anyone who
Speaker 1: is right of center, if they voted for Trump, if
Speaker 1: they were a part of any of the pro Trump rallies,
Speaker 1: particularly after the election, they must be evil and our
Speaker 1: institutions have to be cleansed of this. And cleansing is
Speaker 1: obviously a term that should put everyone's the hair on
Speaker 1: their arms standing up. That's not something that we should
Speaker 1: be thinking of when we're talking about government bodies, and
Speaker 1: especially when you're looking at the military. But this is
Speaker 1: now the plain language of the Democrat Party today. You've
Speaker 1: got Joe Biden, for example, who's out there talking about
Speaker 1: white supremacy as an enemy that we must combat. And
Speaker 1: I would just say, as we look at this, we
Speaker 1: need to remember that this is a group of people.
Speaker 1: When you're talking about actual white supremacists, it's a group
Speaker 1: of people who are marginalized and maligned all throughout society,
Speaker 1: including on the right and rightly so. But how often
Speaker 1: do we go around really worried about flat earthers overtaking
Speaker 1: the scientific community. I mean, how often do we go
Speaker 1: around thinking that some fringe group of lunatics are really
Speaker 1: about to overthrow the United States government, or some radical,
Speaker 1: violent extremist entity from within is just days away from
Speaker 1: trying to launch some kind of a coup. There's a
Speaker 1: hysteria around this. We should all recognize that, we should
Speaker 1: see it for what it is. And it's very concerning
Speaker 1: to me because I've been sounding the alarm about the
Speaker 1: expansion of the term white supremacy to include things that
Speaker 1: no reasonable rational person would ever say or in fact
Speaker 1: white supremacist when you use that term in the past,
Speaker 1: and you can go back to two movies in the nineties,
Speaker 1: go back to pop culture and the way we would
Speaker 1: talk about these things. If you heard of a neo
Speaker 1: Nazi or a white supremacist. It was going to be
Speaker 1: a person who was hateful toward other races, who was
Speaker 1: vicious evil covered in swastika's usually shaved head. You know,
Speaker 1: there are all these things, your skinheads, There are all
Speaker 1: these signifiers. And it was like a ghotist. It was
Speaker 1: a person who had become overtaken by an evil ideology
Speaker 1: and it was their heinous I mean, they're the bad guys.
Speaker 1: We all get that, the same way that any Nazi
Speaker 1: would be a bad guy, the same way that any
Speaker 1: communist is a bad guy or ge hottest. Right, these
Speaker 1: are extreme ideologies that always result in violence, authoritarianism, and
Speaker 1: destruction if they achieve power, and even if they're out
Speaker 1: of power, they can be destructive on a smaller scale.
Speaker 1: So we all understood that the white supremacy was bad.
Speaker 1: We all get that, you know the same way that
Speaker 1: we all know murder is bad. This is a very
Speaker 1: straightforward thing. But now when you hear the terminology and
Speaker 1: when you hear the usage of this, all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: white supremacy is having too many books by white authors
Speaker 1: in a store. White supremacy, and this is how the
Speaker 1: left talks about it. I know you hear this. You say,
Speaker 1: that's crazy. White supremacy. Is somebody advocating against affirmative action
Speaker 1: in college admissions and pointing to how it discriminates against
Speaker 1: Asian Americans more than anyone else in the process. White supremacy. Right,
Speaker 1: Why should we shut down a gifted and talented schools
Speaker 1: or schools for the gifted more generally that overprivileged the
Speaker 1: Asian American community. Well, it's because of the system of
Speaker 1: white supremacy we have. This is what people will say.
Speaker 1: And now we have an entire government that is latching
Speaker 1: onto this as as the the boogeyman, so to speak.
Speaker 1: This is the evil that we are all supposed to
Speaker 1: be hiding under our beds from, or word is hiding
Speaker 1: under our bed If you think about the way the
Speaker 1: boogeyman is usually thought of, this is what we're supposed
Speaker 1: to be confronting as a society. We're in the middle
Speaker 1: of a pandemic, a double pandemic of a disease and
Speaker 1: draconian authoritarian lockdowns from the disease that do not work.
Speaker 1: If Governor Ron DeSantis says it, I can say it.
Speaker 1: Censor that social media platforms. I'm on radio. What now,
Speaker 1: Governor Ron De Santis is right. I'm right they did
Speaker 1: not work. These lockdowns were a failure. But let me
Speaker 1: get back to white supremacy here for a moment. I
Speaker 1: want to read you this isn't the Military Times, right,
Speaker 1: which you know obviously focuses on defense issues and United
Speaker 1: States Arms Services, and it's about Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin.
Speaker 1: I actually remember I was in Bagdad years ago and
Speaker 1: I was part of a briefing. He wouldn't remember me.
Speaker 1: I was interchangeable with all the other guys walking around
Speaker 1: dressed like they were on a camping trip. What are
Speaker 1: you guys doing here? Oh? You're those guys, right, I
Speaker 1: was one of those in the war zone. But you know,
Speaker 1: I sat down, I briefed him. I remember thinking that
Speaker 1: this guy had the kind of command presence among a
Speaker 1: lot of other senior folks that he probably had a
Speaker 1: future in politics. But so I remember General Austin, and
Speaker 1: now Military Times writing he's now the Secretary of Defense,
Speaker 1: as you know, and he's called on quote Services to
Speaker 1: conduct a sixty day standdown on the issue of extremism
Speaker 1: in the military, prompted by the January sixth attack on
Speaker 1: the Capitol and subsequent reports of active duty and former
Speaker 1: service members attending a rally calling to overturn the twenty
Speaker 1: twenty election and the riot that ensued. Hold on a
Speaker 1: second look, look what they This is a perfect example
Speaker 1: of what I'm talking about. We gotta do a whole standout,
Speaker 1: we gotta do a hot wash, we gotta do a
Speaker 1: after action report. We have to do a review of
Speaker 1: white nationalist or white supremacist extremism in the military. And
Speaker 1: then they when they go to describe what we're talking
Speaker 1: about here, it's people who attended a rally to overturn
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty election. I know people who were at
Speaker 1: the rally in DC on January sixth, and they were
Speaker 1: there because they believe that there was a need for
Speaker 1: election results, for the argument over election results to be
Speaker 1: had in the United States Congress, for the presentation of evidence,
Speaker 1: and they thought that that was within this system and
Speaker 1: the right thing to do. They really believe that there
Speaker 1: had been a stolen election. I know many people still
Speaker 1: believe that there was a stolen election. That doesn't make
Speaker 1: them white supremacists, has nothing to do with it. The
Speaker 1: same way that the Capitol Hill riot wasn't a white
Speaker 1: supremacist riot. But you see how now they take this
Speaker 1: action and some of the individuals involved and everybody who's
Speaker 1: even vaguely ideologically associated with them, including thousands and thousands
Speaker 1: of people. They estimate eight hundred people storm Capitol Hill.
Speaker 1: There were at least one hundred thousand people in DC
Speaker 1: on that day, So it's about one percent maybe, and
Speaker 1: I know some people say it was much larger than that.
Speaker 1: So about one percent of the people gathered actually broke
Speaker 1: the law and did something wrong. Everybody else what they did.
Speaker 1: You can disagree with how they view the election, but
Speaker 1: they are completely within their rights, and I support their
Speaker 1: right to lawfully protests and have their voices heard in
Speaker 1: our nation's capital. This is very straightforward. This is about principle.
Speaker 1: But look what they did. They're calling here for former
Speaker 1: service members, quote attending a rally, calling to overturn the
Speaker 1: twenty twenty election. Attendance at the rally is cause for suspicion.
Speaker 1: That's all you have to do. If you win, if
Speaker 1: you engaged in lawful protest, you now if you're a
Speaker 1: former military, if you're current military, for sure, you are
Speaker 1: now somebody that maybe can't be trusted you're an insurrectionist.
Speaker 1: This is what they say. This is what we're told.
Speaker 1: And the guidance from Austin is as follows. Quote. It
Speaker 1: wasn't a it wasn't just a blithe go talk to
Speaker 1: your people. Of Austin's direction, the service secretaries and Joint chiefs.
Speaker 1: He was very clear he wants commands to take the
Speaker 1: necessary time to speak with troops about the scope of
Speaker 1: this problem and get a sense from them about what
Speaker 1: they're seeing at their level. Do you think that some uh,
Speaker 1: some kind of you know, wimpy left wing bureaucrat type,
Speaker 1: which they exist everywhere, There are those people, even in
Speaker 1: the military. H Do you do you think that they're
Speaker 1: going to see somebody with a MAGA flag over their bunk?
Speaker 1: You know? Do you think that they're going to see
Speaker 1: somebody who still so you know, thinks that the GADS
Speaker 1: didn't flag as a cool design from history and they
Speaker 1: want to and maybe they get reported. Just give it time,
Speaker 1: Just give it time. Um. This is this is really
Speaker 1: upsetting to see because you can understand why, why this
Speaker 1: is going to get worse, Why are they doing this
Speaker 1: white supremacy in the military. Uh, this is all all
Speaker 1: of a sudden we've discovered this problem because of the
Speaker 1: January sixth riot. That's what they're saying. This is political.
Speaker 1: I've never met a white supremacist. I mean I point
Speaker 1: this out to people I have met the hottest terrorists
Speaker 1: I have met, you know, people of other extremist ideologies.
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying there aren't white supremacists. You always
Speaker 1: have to you always have to establish these things that
Speaker 1: every sane person knows. Of course there are white supremacists,
Speaker 1: There are evil racists. Are they powerful in this country.
Speaker 1: They're the most and rightly so maligned people in all
Speaker 1: of American society. I mean, you won't be able to
Speaker 1: get a job, to rent, or buy a home, to
Speaker 1: to be on the internet. I mean, you know, you're
Speaker 1: you're a target for everybody. You're a white supremacist, an
Speaker 1: actual white supremacist in the real sense of the term.
Speaker 1: But that's not what this is about. We've already got
Speaker 1: that problem is contained and controlled. They're they're losers. They're
Speaker 1: trying to expand the concept of white supremacy to include
Speaker 1: people who attend and by I'm reading you from this article,
Speaker 1: attended the rally on January six didn't break any laws,
Speaker 1: didn't go to the capitol, but if you attended the
Speaker 1: rally rally, you're suspect. You know, this is what authoritarian
Speaker 1: regimes do. They have to cleanse wrong thing from within
Speaker 1: major institutions like the like the military, and like the
Speaker 1: federal bureaucracy. Military Times owned poland Quote has shown that, anecdotally,
Speaker 1: oh that sounds really official, more than one third of
Speaker 1: active duty troops and more than half of minority service
Speaker 1: members have witnessed signs of white supremacy in their colleagues. Further,
Speaker 1: survey respondents ranked white nationalism as a bigger national security
Speaker 1: domestic terror as a bigger national security threat domestic than
Speaker 1: domestic terrorist groups affiliated with Islam. For instance, events of
Speaker 1: January six served as a wake up call. It it's
Speaker 1: amazing to see this. I mean, you're telling me that,
Speaker 1: let's be very clear, because of this ideology of wokeness,
Speaker 1: actually that's out there that sees whites. Of wokeness means
Speaker 1: the white supremacy is all around us, and it's everywhere,
Speaker 1: and we have to constantly combat it. They've created this
Speaker 1: omnipresent white supremacy. As a result of that, you have
Speaker 1: service members here saying they've quote witnessed signs of white supremacy.
Speaker 1: Half of minority service members say they've seen that. Really, like,
Speaker 1: what where? What counts as that? And I really mean that.
Speaker 1: I'd like to know. Is it who gets promoted and
Speaker 1: who doesn't? Is that? Is that the kind of white
Speaker 1: supremacy we're talking about, because remember how the definitions expanded.
Speaker 1: Or is it somebody who actually you know, is a
Speaker 1: member of some kind of white power society and has
Speaker 1: a swastika tattoo on his knuckles. Which one is it?
Speaker 1: Because there's a whole lot of difference between those two things.
Speaker 1: But you see, this is a power This is a
Speaker 1: power move and the chilling effect on conservatism on the
Speaker 1: right in general from pretending there's this huge threat of
Speaker 1: white supremacy. It's everywhere, It's even in our military. This
Speaker 1: is a hysterical lie, but it's a very very potent one.
Speaker 1: If you want to keep people fearful and if you
Speaker 1: want to make sure that you can get away with
Speaker 1: whatever mechanisms of control you decide to deploy. This is
Speaker 1: happening within our own military, and it's happening from a
Speaker 1: top down, from the Secretary Defense. This is the buck

Speaker 1: You know, I have attended many of these prayer breakfasts
Speaker 1: over the years, with a nation of war and struggle
Speaker 1: and strife, a nation of peace and prosperity, a nation,
Speaker 1: though always in prayer. But we know this time is different.
Speaker 1: Over four hundred thousand of our fellow Americans have lost
Speaker 1: their lives to a deadly virus. Millions are out of work.
Speaker 1: We see long lines for food at food banks that
Speaker 1: stretch for miles. We hear the call for racial justice,
Speaker 1: some four hundred years in the making, and we know
Speaker 1: the dream, and more importantly, the reality of justice for all,
Speaker 1: cannot be deferred any longer. We see the exidential threat
Speaker 1: of climate crisis that poses to our planet and everywhere
Speaker 1: we turn, with more severe floods, stronger hurricanes, more intense wildfires.
Speaker 1: We just have to open our eyes. We've just witnessed
Speaker 1: images that we've never imagined, images that now we'll never forget.
Speaker 1: A violent assault the US capital, on our assault on
Speaker 1: our democracy, on our capitol, a violent attack that threatened
Speaker 1: lives and took lives. And we know now we must
Speaker 1: confront and defeat political extremism. White supremacy and domestic terrorism,
Speaker 1: White supremacy and domestic terrorist. This is Joe Biden on
Speaker 1: a prayer breakfast. This is the urgent national security threat
Speaker 1: defeating white supremacy and domestic terrorism. Um, okay, what does
Speaker 1: that look like? Where is this threat? Just show me where?
Speaker 1: Where are all these white supremacists? I asked the question.
Speaker 1: I never get an answer. Where are they? But there's
Speaker 1: some some compound of brainless, toothless losers somewhere. Who are
Speaker 1: you know, thinking that there there's some kind of you know,
Speaker 1: neo Nazi cult that's going to take over America. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean they're they're disgusting and everyone hates them and
Speaker 1: they're ostracized from society. Where are the white supremacists that
Speaker 1: have infiltrated all the institutions and that are speaking openly
Speaker 1: about this and that are pushing where Well, it depends,
Speaker 1: of course, on how you define the term. And increasingly
Speaker 1: what you see is that it's defined so broadly that
Speaker 1: it can mean whatever whatever racial justice issue. The left
Speaker 1: wants to wants to really put a lot of a
Speaker 1: lot of focus on all of a sud They start using,
Speaker 1: you know, the WUS term. They start throwing it around.
Speaker 1: They start saying, oh, this is we need to dismantle
Speaker 1: systems of white supremacy. Like what, where? Where is this?
Speaker 1: What does it even really mean? Think about the term.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a very Remember remember what they did
Speaker 1: with racism. Racism is bad. We all know that racism
Speaker 1: is immoral, and this is just a this is a
Speaker 1: universal truth. Racism is immoral. They started calling everything racism
Speaker 1: back in the nineties, remember this, And they were there
Speaker 1: actually because we had comedians then it could make jokes.
Speaker 1: They would make jokes about how everything was racist. Right.
Speaker 1: There was in the movie PCU, which is still a
Speaker 1: great watch if you want to go back and check
Speaker 1: it out. But there's a there's a group of of
Speaker 1: I guess you'd call it woke, you know, woke campus activists,
Speaker 1: and one of the one of the fellows is African American.
Speaker 1: He's walking around and he's, you know, his question is
Speaker 1: why is the chalk white and why is the blackboard black? Right,
Speaker 1: I mean, this is racism and that that's one of
Speaker 1: the you know, and he goes, right, you've seen it
Speaker 1: in the movie. I mean, we used to kind of
Speaker 1: be aware that people would call things racist. That's actually
Speaker 1: not racist, has nothing to do with racism. And over
Speaker 1: time that accusation, they used it so much for purposes
Speaker 1: of power right the left, the Democrats used this against
Speaker 1: any of their perceived political enemies that it started to
Speaker 1: lose its sting and started to lose its ability to
Speaker 1: put people in fear. It became just a kind of
Speaker 1: an absurdity. The accusation without any underlying truth, was just
Speaker 1: it was a smear, an obvious pathetic smear. So what
Speaker 1: they do now they've up, Now they've gone to white supremacy. Oh,
Speaker 1: let's see, that's even it's even scarier that conjures up.
Speaker 1: You know, neo nazis doing violence to people based on
Speaker 1: skin color. We have to fight them right away, and
Speaker 1: we should. But that's not what they're referring to. They're
Speaker 1: they're not referring to the character you know in American
Speaker 1: history X. They're referring to college admissions that don't have
Speaker 1: awoke enough philosophy of who gets to go to the school. Well,
Speaker 1: that seems like quite an important change in terminology, isn't it.
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Make sure
Speaker 1: you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeart Radio app
Speaker 1: or wherever you get your podcasts. Yeah, this is a
Speaker 1: deliberate war against everybody whose views would be considered traditionally American.
Speaker 1: And consider they have on the Intelligence Committee somebody who
Speaker 1: the FBI has told them had a multi year relationship
Speaker 1: with the Chinese communist spy. Now that's not really a problem,
Speaker 1: because after all, Communist China is not really a bad country.
Speaker 1: When you go down the stuff and you begin to
Speaker 1: realize these people operate in a different universe. What happened,
Speaker 1: I think was the Trump scared them for the first time.
Speaker 1: They saw all of their dreams, all of their hopes disappearing,
Speaker 1: and their reaction has been one of ferocity, which I
Speaker 1: find frightening. I mean, I worry for anybody who's openly
Speaker 1: publicly in favor of traditional America, because you just don't
Speaker 1: know what the left is going to do. They're gonna
Speaker 1: attack you, They're gonna make you suffer, They're gonna try
Speaker 1: to ruin you, try to destroy you. I mean Newt
Speaker 1: Gingrich sees it is. It is now clear that there
Speaker 1: are obvious truths that you you speak at your peril
Speaker 1: whole range of issues, and the Left doesn't even really
Speaker 1: bother to make arguments anymore. Their arguments in the past
Speaker 1: were weak, but they figured if they yelled them enough,
Speaker 1: and if they control enough institutions, they'd be able to
Speaker 1: get what they want even if logic, facts, reason and
Speaker 1: everything else wasn't on their side. That's that's the way
Speaker 1: that the game used to be played. Now they're just
Speaker 1: saying do this because we say so. They're not even
Speaker 1: really telling you why you should do the thing. And
Speaker 1: I think that the Left has found in the COVID lockdown, specifically,
Speaker 1: the perfect vessel for their dream of total societal control.
Speaker 1: They also have this with climate change. But climate change,
Speaker 1: as much as they try to force the urgency of
Speaker 1: the climate crisis and it's existential, as much as they
Speaker 1: try to convince everybody of that, well adjusted normal people
Speaker 1: are like, even if they believe in climate changes, they go,
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, it's not the world's not gonna
Speaker 1: end tomorrow. Let's catch our breath here. It's not gonna
Speaker 1: end in five years. It's not gonna end in fifty
Speaker 1: And if it ends in five hundred years, how much
Speaker 1: do I really care? I mean, that's that's kind of
Speaker 1: where a lot of people are on this one. How
Speaker 1: do I even know, who will even know what five
Speaker 1: hundred years from now is going to be like. But
Speaker 1: with COVID, because we have had a lot of people,
Speaker 1: a lot of older people who have died from from
Speaker 1: this respiratory virus, they were able to get the crisis
Speaker 1: and the panic and the anxiety at a level where
Speaker 1: they could begin to remake society. I mean, they could
Speaker 1: tell you how you can breathe. That's now all a
Speaker 1: part of this too. And I've been walking you through
Speaker 1: because I know what they're gonna do. You know, they
Speaker 1: have to cover up now we saw something we said,
Speaker 1: hold on a second. Fauci says two masks are better
Speaker 1: than one, and then Auster Holmes says, actually, two masks
Speaker 1: are worse than one, and then Fauci says there's no
Speaker 1: data to support wearing two masks, And then people say, well,
Speaker 1: hold on a second. If two masks isn't better than one,
Speaker 1: why that makes me think that maybe we got to
Speaker 1: look at this more and can we even have a
Speaker 1: discussion about this. So then Fauci has to change it
Speaker 1: up again to say, well, the CDC may soon tell
Speaker 1: people two masks are better than one. We gotta get
Speaker 1: the data, and let me tell you, they're going to
Speaker 1: come up with some bullcrap anecdotal study about you know,
Speaker 1: someone says that they were doing two and someone else
Speaker 1: said one, and it's not going to be an actual
Speaker 1: scientific study at all. And then all of a sudden
Speaker 1: they'll make its way under the CDC website and then
Speaker 1: the CDC we all have to listen to. Has the
Speaker 1: CDC saved lot of us? Can I just ask you
Speaker 1: think about that for a second. Has the CDC saved
Speaker 1: a lot of lives in the COVID pandemic? I mean,
Speaker 1: this is there, this is their D Day invasion, right
Speaker 1: This COVID pandemic is the CDC's moment show us what
Speaker 1: they're why they're funded, what they're really made of. You
Speaker 1: know what they've done. They messed up testing in the
Speaker 1: earliest days, when it was absolutely essential to figure out
Speaker 1: what we were really dealing with. They completely botched testing.
Speaker 1: They've changed the guidance many many times. And ultimately what
Speaker 1: they've told this is, you know, you should probably block
Speaker 1: down and just avoid life while this virus is out
Speaker 1: there as much as you know you can stomach and
Speaker 1: or as much as other people will make you stomach
Speaker 1: and wash your hands and wear a mask. Thanks CDC. Wow,
Speaker 1: amazing stuff from them. And here's Foucci. Though, as I've
Speaker 1: been telling you, setting the groundwork, you're gonna you're gonna
Speaker 1: start to see businesses that say one mask required, two
Speaker 1: masks preferred. It's gonna happen play four in the meantime,
Speaker 1: as I often get asked, should you be wearing two
Speaker 1: masks or one mask? And I say, there's no recommendation. However,
Speaker 1: there are many people who take the common sense approach.
Speaker 1: If you're talking about a physical barrier, and as the
Speaker 1: CDC recommends, you want at least two layers within the
Speaker 1: mask as a physical barrier, and you feel maybe more
Speaker 1: of a physical barrier would be better, there's nothing wrong
Speaker 1: with people wearing two masks. I often myself wear two masks.
Speaker 1: Can we make a general recommendation that doesn't have scientific
Speaker 1: basis yet? No, But when the science comes along and
Speaker 1: tells us that it is better or not, then you
Speaker 1: will see a recommendation being made by the CDC. They're
Speaker 1: going to manufacture something and they're going to say that
Speaker 1: the science is settled, and now we know that two
Speaker 1: masks are better than one and it's not amazing because
Speaker 1: how have they not known that all along? The mask
Speaker 1: science is so clear, We're we're figuring this out just now. No,
Speaker 1: why are we going to the two masking? Why? Why
Speaker 1: did I know that they would say this? Go back?
Speaker 1: You know this, listen to the show? How did I
Speaker 1: know that they were going to tell us two masks?
Speaker 1: And then ninety five masks are really what we need
Speaker 1: to be doing because the policy of mandating people wearing
Speaker 1: masks in certain situations didn't stop the damn virus. It didn't.
Speaker 1: And I know people say, oh, but what about you
Speaker 1: know when you breathe through it everything, and go okay,
Speaker 1: Well people can't wear it all the time, and so
Speaker 1: there's a lot of spread that's going on all the
Speaker 1: time anyway. And if you get the virus on Wednesday
Speaker 1: but didn't get it on Tuesday, and that plays out
Speaker 1: across the whole country, what difference does it really make?
Speaker 1: But you know, they people, people are incapable of actually
Speaker 1: thinking this through for themselves. And going back to my
Speaker 1: initial premise here about about traditional values being able to
Speaker 1: speak about these things, it is essential that we actually
Speaker 1: have a public debate about masks. I would I would
Speaker 1: love give me any blue check MD PhD. Oh, I'm
Speaker 1: doctor so and so, and I go on I go
Speaker 1: on MSNBC, and I know love to have a debate.
Speaker 1: And I'm just some guy, just some guy who sits
Speaker 1: around as a radio show, writes some stuff, you know,
Speaker 1: used to work for the government, used to be a
Speaker 1: little government stooge, And uh yeah, I would love to
Speaker 1: have the debate with them because I could just use
Speaker 1: reason and logic and annihilate the stupid crap that they say,
Speaker 1: like it's all it's all so obvious that we should
Speaker 1: all be worrying about. It was so obvious that the
Speaker 1: person is now the biggest mask advocate twelve months ago
Speaker 1: was saying, come on, it doesn't really do anything. That's
Speaker 1: without She was saying, we all know it. Now, what
Speaker 1: exactly is different? They'll say, oh, we didn't know about this. No, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: that's all just blah blah blah blah blah. That's all nonsense.
Speaker 1: But they won't deal with the reality here, which is
Speaker 1: that you had a panic, and you had people in
Speaker 1: patent positions of power, and you had governed authorities. The
Speaker 1: people were looking to to save them, and they had
Speaker 1: to tell you something, and they had to tell you
Speaker 1: something that even if it didn't stop it, then the
Speaker 1: answer would be, well, you didn't do enough of the
Speaker 1: thing I told you. It's your fault. That's where we are.
Speaker 1: And so I believe that dissent on a matter, on
Speaker 1: a matter of national importance health policy like this, that
Speaker 1: is a traditional American value. We should be able to
Speaker 1: have this conversation. We can't. We can't. Shouldn't shouldn't I
Speaker 1: be scared? Shouldn't I be concerned about the prospect of
Speaker 1: being exposed on this issue? Yeah, have one of those
Speaker 1: blue check doctors, you know, have a debate, go on
Speaker 1: TV live and it'd be meek be Alex Barnson, be
Speaker 1: any number of people to look at this issue critically
Speaker 1: and explain to me how the science tells you that
Speaker 1: it's essential that you have that mask pulled up all
Speaker 1: the time on an airplane with one hundred and fifty
Speaker 1: people on it, sitting side by side, which is what
Speaker 1: we do now. Remember how we're going to have a
Speaker 1: separation that all fell apart. Now we just airlines need
Speaker 1: to make money. So you sit side by side and
Speaker 1: then people sit there and I'd say for at least
Speaker 1: half the flight are breathing in open air with their
Speaker 1: mask down because they're drinking, they're eating, they're doing other things.
Speaker 1: You know, people have the mask fall down below their nose.
Speaker 1: The nose is actually a major area for the spread
Speaker 1: of the for the expulsion of the virus. So yeah,
Speaker 1: explained the signs to me of how that's all. But
Speaker 1: it limits it, It limits it. I mean how much
Speaker 1: how much? If you know, if you're on a plane
Speaker 1: for four hours and everyone's breathing, the breathing the air,
Speaker 1: you know, and open how much better is it with
Speaker 1: the mask on for thirty percent? Then with the rest?
Speaker 1: I mean, you get infected, you're infected. It doesn't matter
Speaker 1: how much exposure you had. It doesn't matter, you know,
Speaker 1: how long the exposure was. You're infected. You're infected. But
Speaker 1: they don't really think about it, Jo, We can't even
Speaker 1: have a normal conversation about that. We can't have normal
Speaker 1: conversation with the left about males playing female sport. The
Speaker 1: ACO you put out a statement yesterday that said there's
Speaker 1: no advantage of men over women in sports, no advantage,
Speaker 1: and then this is shown because there are women who
Speaker 1: can still compete against some of the men. How many
Speaker 1: videos do we have to see of some like six
Speaker 1: foot four guy who weighs two hundred and thirty pounds
Speaker 1: who's playing women's field hockey and as all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: the national champion and like the best in the world.
Speaker 1: Before we go, oh, I think I think there's an advantage.
Speaker 1: I think there's an advantage. Every guy listening to this
Speaker 1: knows if you if you were a a mediocre high
Speaker 1: school male athlete, you know, a mediocre one, which is
Speaker 1: how at best I think how it described my own
Speaker 1: athletic exploits as you would have been a probably a
Speaker 1: two or three sport All American at in NCAA women's sports.
Speaker 1: This is the truth. I mean, if you want to
Speaker 1: want an example of this, you I mean, you have
Speaker 1: to have a certain level of proficiency. But the like
Speaker 1: men fourteen year old national soccer team beat the best
Speaker 1: female professional soccer teams in the world. They're fourteen and
Speaker 1: beating the best women of the world. I mean, is
Speaker 1: there's no debate about this. Ah, but you see that
Speaker 1: statements even more true than I meant it to be.
Speaker 1: They don't allow you to have the debate about this
Speaker 1: because the facts are not in debate. It's really a
Speaker 1: question of power, and they have the power to silence
Speaker 1: you and make you believe things and say things that
Speaker 1: are not true. You're in the freedom hunt. Thanks for
Speaker 1: listening to The Buck Sexton Show podcast. Get the latest
Speaker 1: from Buck at buck sexton dot com. The job of
Speaker 1: a leader is to take on that, to take on
Speaker 1: the grief in order to save people's jobs, to get
Speaker 1: kids back in school, and really to ultimately save a
Speaker 1: lot of lives, because I think one the virus responds
Speaker 1: is more effective when it's targeted at the vulnerable population,
Speaker 1: which we did do aggressively. But I also think we've
Speaker 1: saved the livelihoods of so many people. I think you'll
Speaker 1: have less suicide desks, less drug abuse desks, less deaths
Speaker 1: of despair in Florida because we were open, and I
Speaker 1: think a lot of the lockdowners lost sight of that.
Speaker 1: We are less than the national average for per capita
Speaker 1: COVID mortality. Twenty five states are higher than us, and
Speaker 1: yet as you said, our unemployment rate is much less
Speaker 1: than the national average. We have kids in school, and
Speaker 1: in December we had three hundred and thirty million dollars
Speaker 1: more in revenue than was projected because people are coming
Speaker 1: here and they understand that Florida's opened in a place
Speaker 1: where they can pursue their dreams. Rohn descantists the only
Speaker 1: political hero of the entire COVID pandemic, really, the only
Speaker 1: person who has been getting it done despite all the critics,
Speaker 1: despite all the pressure. And I know I talk about
Speaker 1: him a lot now. It's like it sounds like I'm
Speaker 1: a member of the Rohn descent and maybe the captain
Speaker 1: of the RHND descentists fan club these days. But look,
Speaker 1: I don't know Ron, never met him, never talked to him.
Speaker 1: It's not about anything other than results. And you look
Speaker 1: at the results of his state. Maybe we could have
Speaker 1: had many other places with much better results if we
Speaker 1: were allowed to have the conversation. But to my earlier point,
Speaker 1: we're not even We're not even given the freedom to
Speaker 1: make our case anymore. I mean, what social media companies
Speaker 1: have done about lockdowns and mask wearing is disgusting. They're
Speaker 1: a bunch of little, petty moron totalitarians. And remember it's
Speaker 1: not the people who, you know, the people that are
Speaker 1: all about this. They're not the ones that are you
Speaker 1: know that that that that founded the company. Usually they're
Speaker 1: not the ones that are coming up with really complicated algorithms.
Speaker 1: You know, they're outsourcing a lot of that stuff to
Speaker 1: other people or people on H one b V's is
Speaker 1: the little, the little totalitarians that work in these social
Speaker 1: media companies. You know, they're they're they are working in
Speaker 1: like the government relations office, they're working in the in
Speaker 1: PR and marketing, in sales and you know, the soft
Speaker 1: sciences parts of these companies. They're the ones that are yeah,
Speaker 1: you know it's the it's the English Lit majors who
Speaker 1: work at book and Google doing whatever they do. They're
Speaker 1: they're the ones that want you to be shut up.
Speaker 1: They're the ones that want you to be unable to
Speaker 1: actually have a conversation. So remember that and and that
Speaker 1: there are real they are real downsides this. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, today you had the mayor of Chicago, Lori Lightfoot,
Speaker 1: who was basically pleading with the teachers' unions like you
Speaker 1: you're being unreasonable, this is not right. You're making kids suffer.
Speaker 1: You're supposed to go back to school. Now, think of
Speaker 1: all the people in Chicago who are going and doing
Speaker 1: their jobs. They're exposed to COVID. They they have, you know,
Speaker 1: family members who are who are older and at risk,
Speaker 1: or maybe they themselves are older and at risk, but
Speaker 1: you know they're still living life. There's no risk free society,
Speaker 1: and a society that promises you that it's risk free
Speaker 1: is a nightmare. It is by definition totalitarian. It erases
Speaker 1: all freedom. If it's going to make you truly free,
Speaker 1: it will make all of your choice is for you.
Speaker 1: There are a lot of people and I think it's
Speaker 1: just deep in their brains that's what they want, that's
Speaker 1: what they prefer. They would rather be told what to
Speaker 1: do all the time. They'd rather be told how they
Speaker 1: can live their lives. By the way, I mentioned before
Speaker 1: the debates over men and women's sports, here's brand Paul
Speaker 1: talking to the Education Secretary nominee, doctor Miguel Cardona about
Speaker 1: boys playing girls sports in high school play sixteen So
Speaker 1: you don't have a problem. Then with boys running in
Speaker 1: the girls, track me, swimming me to name it, you're okay.
Speaker 1: Then with boys competing with girls respectfully centered, I think
Speaker 1: I answered the question. I believe schools should offer the
Speaker 1: opportunity for students to engage in extracurricular activities. Even if
Speaker 1: they're a transgender. I think that's their right, all right,
Speaker 1: but a lot of us think that that's bizarre. You know,
Speaker 1: I'm not very fair. Yeah, it isn't fair. It isn't.
Speaker 1: But now it's now the left has gone beyond philosophical
Speaker 1: fallacy and they want you to to not accept what
Speaker 1: is true in the actual physical world. This isn't that
Speaker 1: they just have bad ideas that are illogical and self contradictory,
Speaker 1: though that's certainly very true of the left as well.
Speaker 1: Now it's that guy who is six is sixty three
Speaker 1: and you know, two hundred and fifty pounds, he's not
Speaker 1: necessarily going to be stronger than all all the all
Speaker 1: the females of his same of his same age. Then no,
Speaker 1: that there might You know that there's no real advantage there. Well,
Speaker 1: then why why break up mail and female sports in general?
Speaker 1: What's the point does anyone on the left we want
Speaker 1: to try to answer that? Why do we have a
Speaker 1: men's and women's team, men's and women's teams? What's the
Speaker 1: point of it? Because you know, it's fine, there's no
Speaker 1: biological advantage. We all know this is a lie, but
Speaker 1: they insist that you accept their lie. Why. It's about
Speaker 1: a lot more than just transgender rights or transgender sports
Speaker 1: or anything like that. It's about bend the knee or else,
Speaker 1: bend the knee on something that you know is a
Speaker 1: total fallacy. Once you've done at this time, they can
Speaker 1: get you to do at other times. This is Buck's
Speaker 1: first thoughts. The news you need to get for your
Speaker 1: day in forty five minutes. Make sure you subscribe on
Speaker 1: the iHeart app or wherever you get your podcasts. She
Speaker 1: stays in leadership. Liz Cheney has beaten back a challenge
Speaker 1: to her role in the United States Congress on the
Speaker 1: GOP side of it. Pretty big win for her in
Speaker 1: terms of the votes. What really happened here and what
Speaker 1: is it telling us about the trajectory of the GOP
Speaker 1: Right now, our friend Matt Schlap is back in the mix.
Speaker 1: He is the chairman of the American Conservative Union. Mister Schlap,
Speaker 1: good to have you, great to be with you, getting Buck,
Speaker 1: So what do you make of this? First of all,
Speaker 1: just for everyone listening, how did we get here? We're
Speaker 1: all of a sudden in our Republicans are still trying
Speaker 1: to figure out what just happened with this election? And
Speaker 1: now We've got Biden's inauguration, and now we're going after
Speaker 1: Liz Cheney. What did she do? Tell everybody? In the
Speaker 1: eyes of some within her own party, her sins were, well,
Speaker 1: she voted to impeach President Trump, even though obviously he's
Speaker 1: not the president anymore, and almost everybody's reading of the
Speaker 1: Constitution is is that this is an abuse of the Constitution.
Speaker 1: I think she was one of ten Republicans in the
Speaker 1: House to support this, the most politicized impeachment we've ever seen.
Speaker 1: In almost every impeachment's pretty politicized. So a lot of
Speaker 1: anger were these Republicans who played into the politics of
Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi. And that's really what this was. This really
Speaker 1: wasn't a question about do you like Trump? Do you
Speaker 1: not like Trump? Do you like Trump's policies? Do not
Speaker 1: like Trump's policies? Do you like what happened on January sixth?
Speaker 1: Does what happened on January sixth make you offended? As
Speaker 1: I'm sure it does you and me and you and
Speaker 1: I talked about it on your show right around that time.
Speaker 1: It was a terrible thing. But is it really fair
Speaker 1: to blame Trump for what happened at the Capitol is
Speaker 1: it really fair to blame his supporters for what happened
Speaker 1: at the Capitol, Which is now what Joe Biden and
Speaker 1: the new Secretary of Defense seemed to be saying with
Speaker 1: their language or somehow, our number one danger as a
Speaker 1: country is white supremacy and violence on the right. Of course,
Speaker 1: they say nothing about the violence on the left with
Speaker 1: Black Lives Matter and Antifa, and the fact that for
Speaker 1: a year our cities were burned to the ground, and
Speaker 1: churches were burned, and statues were torn down, and statues
Speaker 1: of Jesus were desecrated, and cemeteries were desecraated. They don't
Speaker 1: mention any of that. We have more violence in this
Speaker 1: country buck because people feel like they don't have hope
Speaker 1: within the system. So people who are into the system,
Speaker 1: especially the establishment, they should do all they can to
Speaker 1: make the Americans on both the left and the right
Speaker 1: feel like their voices heard. Instead, what the establishments doing
Speaker 1: is the opposite. They're censoring us, they're shutting us down,
Speaker 1: they're canceling us. That will not have a good result
Speaker 1: in our politics. Clearly, the people who rushed the Capitol
Speaker 1: of criminals, but they also felt desperation. We need to
Speaker 1: pull back for people feeling desperation. That's why our founders
Speaker 1: gave us things like the First Amendment were politically you're
Speaker 1: allowed to express yourself, and that is not being allowed
Speaker 1: to happen unfortunately right now in America. Were you surprised
Speaker 1: by the results? I mean, one hundred and forty five
Speaker 1: for Liz Cheney to stay in her leadership job versus
Speaker 1: only sixty one in the House. There was a lot
Speaker 1: of no, I'm not surprised. I'm not surprised, and I
Speaker 1: think this is being misreported. You know, I was a
Speaker 1: Hill staffer for five years. A lot of people in
Speaker 1: this town have congressional experience. But it was going to
Speaker 1: take an overwhelming vote to push Liz Cheney out of leadership.
Speaker 1: This wasn't so much about taking it out of leadership
Speaker 1: as it was sending a message that when you're in leadership,
Speaker 1: there are just certain things you do for the cause,
Speaker 1: and if you're such an independent thinker that you can't
Speaker 1: do the right thing for the party, then you should
Speaker 1: never getting leadership because part of being a leadership is
Speaker 1: sometimes you got to take votes that you disagree with
Speaker 1: because you're in a leadership position. Just like all leadership positions.
Speaker 1: We have an organizations across the country. There's there's a
Speaker 1: cost to being a leader, and she was unwilling to
Speaker 1: pay that cost because of her animosity for President Trump.
Speaker 1: And so what's happened in the past when Republican leaders
Speaker 1: got into this much trouble, they just stepped down. Remember
Speaker 1: knew Gingridge stepped down from being Speaker when he got
Speaker 1: himself really all kind of turned around on some ethics questions,
Speaker 1: and she was unwilling to do that. So I admire
Speaker 1: her moxy for sticking in there, but I don't think
Speaker 1: it changed the political changes the political dynamic, which is
Speaker 1: she's got a big problem within the Republican conference because
Speaker 1: they don't view her as understanding that we shouldn't play
Speaker 1: into the politics of Pelosi and Schumer, even when we're
Speaker 1: going to get a bad editorial in the New York Times,
Speaker 1: even when we have animosity or differences with a Republican
Speaker 1: who might be the target. So Marjorie Taylor Green, she's
Speaker 1: she's the latest target of the Democrats. It really doesn't
Speaker 1: have to do with them being offended over her, which
Speaker 1: I would say very offensive social media postings from previous
Speaker 1: you know, before she was elected to serve in Congress.
Speaker 1: By the way, the voters in Georgia put her in Congress,
Speaker 1: and the voters get to decide these questions, not Nancy
Speaker 1: Pelosi and the Democrats. But you know, she's just the
Speaker 1: latest victim of what this cancel culture. They want to
Speaker 1: cancel her before she's ever even really been allowed to
Speaker 1: show what her true feelings are as a congresswoman, how
Speaker 1: she wants to vote. If they if they can attack
Speaker 1: her and persecute her, it'll just name the next Republican
Speaker 1: they're going to go after. Basically, what they're trying to
Speaker 1: do is make being a Republican illegal, and Republicans who
Speaker 1: play along with that should just go away because they
Speaker 1: don't know what's going on in the country. We're speaking of, Matt,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry speaking to Matt schlap he's the chairman of
Speaker 1: the American Conservative Union, and Matt Gates was leading the
Speaker 1: effort to get rid of Liz Cheney. Do you think
Speaker 1: that they're going to let bygones be by guns now, Matt,
Speaker 1: or is there still this struggle that we should expect
Speaker 1: to play out within GOP congressional ranks for who's really
Speaker 1: the future of the GOP in terms of policy, but
Speaker 1: also in terms of leadership. Well, we have Joe Biden
Speaker 1: saying we need to unify the country. Well he's pursuing
Speaker 1: in his party, is pursuing impeachment, saying that we have
Speaker 1: to go after all these white nationalists, which sounds strangely
Speaker 1: like he just wants to go after conservatives and MAGA people.
Speaker 1: It really doesn't have much to do with race at all.
Speaker 1: And now you have these strange calls for unity within
Speaker 1: the Republican ranks. To me, I'm not very interested in unity.
Speaker 1: I'm interested in having a civil debate on what we
Speaker 1: should agree with and what we shouldn't agree with. I
Speaker 1: don't want just like a vanilla Republican party that has
Speaker 1: no disagreements. I'm plenty fine with lots of Republican disagreements.
Speaker 1: I just want to make sure that they remember that
Speaker 1: the political enemy are the socialists, and this is the
Speaker 1: socialism that the Democrats have grabbed up. Have you embraced?
Speaker 1: So this question about Liz Cheney and her future, I
Speaker 1: think is a very open question. And if she believes
Speaker 1: that the right thing to do is kind of divorce
Speaker 1: MAGA from this coalition as I call it, not so
Speaker 1: much a Republican Party as it is a coalition. The
Speaker 1: Conservatives are the most important part of that coalition. If
Speaker 1: she thinks it's important to divorce Maga from that coalition,
Speaker 1: I will fight her on that. Politically, I like and
Speaker 1: respect her, We've been friends a long time. I disagree
Speaker 1: with her impeachment vote. I disagree with this idea that
Speaker 1: somehow Trump has been a cancer on the Republican Party.
Speaker 1: I think he's added millions of new voters. I've obviously
Speaker 1: been a strong supporter of his. I will continue to
Speaker 1: be for him and for his policies. And I think
Speaker 1: we all had that debate, and so it becomes a
Speaker 1: little public at time. That's okay. We're big boys and girls,
Speaker 1: and we're going to have it at Seapack anyway, So
Speaker 1: buckle up. So tell me this. Let's look at the
Speaker 1: other side for a second. Jack Posovic over One America
Speaker 1: News got this one going. He pointed out that AOC
Speaker 1: who was really made a spectacle of herself recently, Alexandria Ocazio,
Speaker 1: Alexandra Occazio Cortez. She she was claiming that Ted Cruze
Speaker 1: almost had her killed. I mean, I saw that tweet
Speaker 1: as if you know, Ted Cruz was ordering a hitman
Speaker 1: to find her. She's been doing, you know, TEARI eyed
Speaker 1: videos from home about how she was terrified she was
Speaker 1: going to die. And now Jack looked at a and
Speaker 1: you know Capitol Hill very well, she looked at a
Speaker 1: map and she was what is it about an eight
Speaker 1: eight to ten minute walk from the actual Capitol U
Speaker 1: when when all this happened, What do you make of this? Well,
Speaker 1: they're trying to make it sound like it was almost
Speaker 1: an attack on the on the NATS stadium, which is
Speaker 1: not too far away from the Cannon House office building.
Speaker 1: Look what happened at the Capitol's terrible. Can't be excused,
Speaker 1: and I can understand why it was shocking to members
Speaker 1: of Congress. But this is where the language is purposely politicized.
Speaker 1: Donald Trump didn't call for any violence that day. He
Speaker 1: called to the opposite. Anybody who accuses the president of
Speaker 1: calling for violence should show the words in the speech
Speaker 1: that he uttered that called for violence. Of course, the
Speaker 1: opposite is in the speech. And if you're going to
Speaker 1: accuse Ted Cruse of trying to murder, you show the
Speaker 1: words that Ted Cruz uttered to call for that violence.
Speaker 1: Of course those words don't exist. I often wonder with
Speaker 1: these socialists, do they think that, like Buck, you and
Speaker 1: I communicate both with our mouths and we have like
Speaker 1: some secret like you know, telepathy, that we're speaking, you know,
Speaker 1: encouraging people. They love to call it a dog whistle,
Speaker 1: something people can't hear, but like if you have, if
Speaker 1: you have the right kind of hearing, you can hear it. Somehow,
Speaker 1: Josh Holly and Ted Cruise and Donald Trump were speaking
Speaker 1: telepathically to their supporters to do bad things. This Manchurian
Speaker 1: Canada kind of nonsense. It just has to stop. It
Speaker 1: should be called out. When we used to have pre
Speaker 1: unfair journalism in this country, they would have told a
Speaker 1: politician that you can't make charges that you can't substantiate
Speaker 1: with actual words. So and I think it's great what
Speaker 1: Jack has done on this reporting because it doesn't excuse
Speaker 1: the violence and the crimes that occurred at the Capitol,
Speaker 1: but it does indict those who are trying to use
Speaker 1: that those crimes in a way to seem like the
Speaker 1: Republican Party or Trump supporters or conservatives, or trying to
Speaker 1: harm them physically. Of course, the opposite is true. My
Speaker 1: argument would be no matter. Whenever you have a big
Speaker 1: rally somewhere, my guesses you can find fifteen to thirty
Speaker 1: lugheads and all those rallies. The difference between MAGA rallies
Speaker 1: and what we saw with a tef them Black Lives Matter.
Speaker 1: And I went into some of those crowds with Black
Speaker 1: Lives Matter, that was overcome with people who meant to
Speaker 1: do violence, who meant to desecrate, who meant to do
Speaker 1: physical harm to all these important monuments and buildings. That
Speaker 1: was the whole reason to have those riots, where by
Speaker 1: the way, not one cop died, and I really mourned
Speaker 1: the death of this Capitol Hill cop. I consider him hero.
Speaker 1: I think with the memorial they had from him on
Speaker 1: Capitol Hill was totally appropriate. I only wish we could
Speaker 1: have had an equal memorial for all the other cops
Speaker 1: who have lost their life over the course of last
Speaker 1: eighteen months with this left wing violence. You know, just
Speaker 1: because you die trying to save Nancy Pelosi's life doesn't
Speaker 1: make that death more of a tragedy than if you
Speaker 1: tried to bring order around the White House or in
Speaker 1: chop or in Portland, or in Chicago or in New
Speaker 1: York city. The death of these law enforcement officers is
Speaker 1: really a stain on our history, and we ought to
Speaker 1: have more public memorials and accommodations for those law enforcement
Speaker 1: officials who have been killed by this left wing violence.
Speaker 1: All the violence is terrible, it's criminal, and we ought
Speaker 1: to take the lessons from why it's occurring. And I
Speaker 1: definitely think that there. I can tell you about conservatives,
Speaker 1: they feel a little desperate when their votes are taken
Speaker 1: away from them, and when their votes are taken away
Speaker 1: from them, excuse me when there and when their voice
Speaker 1: is taken away from them, when literally they can't speak
Speaker 1: on social media as they have come to expect to
Speaker 1: be able to speak. Speaking of Match Lap, chairman of
Speaker 1: the American Conservative Union, and Seepack Matt, which you are
Speaker 1: the man at Sepack. That's going to be happening in
Speaker 1: just a few weeks. I'm coming down there to see
Speaker 1: you and all the rest of the fine folks the
Speaker 1: conservative movement. What give us the message? And I'm hoping
Speaker 1: some people listening to this will be able to join
Speaker 1: us down in Orlando. It's gonna be nice weather, a
Speaker 1: lot of conservative It's going to be a good time.
Speaker 1: But what is going to be the overriding message when
Speaker 1: you're right now gathering together a lot of conservatives, both
Speaker 1: people who are just supportive of the movement and people
Speaker 1: who are at the forefront, people that have platforms and
Speaker 1: that are trying to spread the message. A lot of
Speaker 1: folks out there are feeling a little dejected right now
Speaker 1: given what's going on in this election, and also the
Speaker 1: first moves of the Biden presidency are not the least
Speaker 1: bit confidence inspiring for anybody who lives in reality. I
Speaker 1: think what is the message going to be then from
Speaker 1: speck Well, Our theme is America uncanceled. They try to
Speaker 1: cancel our votes, our values, and now our voices, and
Speaker 1: so we will spend a lot of time talking about
Speaker 1: what happened around the election and the reforms that are
Speaker 1: needed to It's a very simple prospect that you should
Speaker 1: be a legal voter to be able to vote in
Speaker 1: a democracy, very basic principle. We violated that, We sullied it,
Speaker 1: and that's got to stop. The second thing is this
Speaker 1: idea of how our political voices are being silenced left
Speaker 1: and right, both within the corporate culture of most of
Speaker 1: our publicly traded corporations, on almost every media outlet. Obviously,
Speaker 1: in social media, people are losing their jobs because they
Speaker 1: fly the wrong flag, and that's simply not consistent with
Speaker 1: American values. So we'll be talking about and then finally
Speaker 1: the most important thing. Buck. You can understand this because
Speaker 1: you spend a lot of time talking about these things.
Speaker 1: The new embrace of socialism by one of our two
Speaker 1: major parties has basically meant our Bill of Rights as
Speaker 1: a stop watch on its life, or at least a
Speaker 1: clock on its life. They don't believe in these in
Speaker 1: the Bill of Rights, if you walk through each one.
Speaker 1: They clearly don't believe in the First Amendment because they
Speaker 1: think that it's fine to have illegal votes and they
Speaker 1: think it's fine to cancel people's political speech. So the
Speaker 1: First Amendment, and we all know about religious freedom, that's
Speaker 1: you know, that's been under attack for a decade now.
Speaker 1: They don't believe in the Second Amendment. Obviously, Joe Biden
Speaker 1: ran on gun confiscation saying that you're not kind of
Speaker 1: up to your gun rights, so we'll just take your
Speaker 1: guns away from you. And if you walk through all
Speaker 1: of these amendments, they basically don't believe in the Amendment.
Speaker 1: Now they believe in a free press, supposedly, even though
Speaker 1: that free press doesn't seem to want to take our
Speaker 1: side into account, which doesn't make it free at all,
Speaker 1: which makes a propaganda. But I guess you could try
Speaker 1: to find a way to get that into the latter
Speaker 1: part of the First Amendment. But so here or there
Speaker 1: they don't have disagreements, but ninety they don't agree with
Speaker 1: the Bill of Rights back to me is a very
Speaker 1: dangerous thing in our country that we've ever been here before.
Speaker 1: We had one of our two major parties literally rejecting
Speaker 1: the underpinnings of the Constitution. They used to use euphemisms.
Speaker 1: They'd say, oh, it's a living, breathing document. We cherish
Speaker 1: this document, you know, we just want to see some
Speaker 1: changes to it now that they don't support any amendas.
Speaker 1: Isn't that Iran liberals don't support any amends or constitution.
Speaker 1: We do as conservatives because we know that's how you're
Speaker 1: supposed to change the constitution. That's the way our founders
Speaker 1: that that was the process they left in the constitution
Speaker 1: because they knew one day we'd make slavery illegal. They
Speaker 1: kept that in there on purpose. Women got economic rights,
Speaker 1: they got the boat. This is how that was done.
Speaker 1: But they don't believe in in amendments because they just
Speaker 1: go to the court where they go to a regulator
Speaker 1: and by FIAT, they just change the world. Matt, where
Speaker 1: can people go if they if they want to either
Speaker 1: partake in person or online to join us at seapack
Speaker 1: in a few weeks. You're a better pitchman than I am. Yeah,
Speaker 1: go to Conservative dot org. There's a few tickets left.
Speaker 1: We will sell out. We're making announcements every day and
Speaker 1: we'd love to have you down there. Match Lap of
Speaker 1: the American Conservatives Union, Matt, I always appreciate it, see
Speaker 1: you down in sunny Florida. Thank you back, Thanks for
Speaker 1: coming to see you back.
