WEBVTT - Buck’s First Thoughts - 1/6/21

0:00:01.360 --> 0:00:04.120
<v Speaker 1>You're in the freedom Hunt. This is the Buck Sexton

0:00:12.119 --> 0:00:17.279
<v Speaker 1>No retreat, No surrender, My friends. If there was ever

0:00:17.320 --> 0:00:21.079
<v Speaker 1>a time to start watching some of my favorite classic

0:00:21.440 --> 0:00:26.720
<v Speaker 1>action and adventure movies, now is that time. Because you

0:00:26.800 --> 0:00:29.960
<v Speaker 1>need to steal your courage, friends, You need to get

0:00:30.000 --> 0:00:36.919
<v Speaker 1>ready to hold the line. Democrats unfortunately, have managed and

0:00:37.120 --> 0:00:38.919
<v Speaker 1>I don't even want to spend too much of our

0:00:38.920 --> 0:00:42.160
<v Speaker 1>time today getting into the Oh but the fraud, Oh

0:00:42.280 --> 0:00:45.760
<v Speaker 1>but they changed the rules. Yeah, we know, but we

0:00:45.840 --> 0:00:48.960
<v Speaker 1>have to deal with where we are in this battle.

0:00:49.920 --> 0:00:52.760
<v Speaker 1>There's only so much that we can do when it

0:00:52.800 --> 0:00:56.480
<v Speaker 1>comes to pointing out the tricks, the cheating, the fraud

0:00:56.520 --> 0:00:59.440
<v Speaker 1>of the other side. We still have to fight within

0:00:59.480 --> 0:01:03.040
<v Speaker 1>the system. We still have to beat them on the

0:01:03.080 --> 0:01:07.280
<v Speaker 1>playing field, somehow, some way, and it's not going to

0:01:07.319 --> 0:01:11.600
<v Speaker 1>be easy. Right now, you're looking at a Senate now

0:01:12.560 --> 0:01:15.960
<v Speaker 1>to be in the hands most likely unless something happens,

0:01:16.959 --> 0:01:18.959
<v Speaker 1>and you're looking at a Senate that's going to be

0:01:18.959 --> 0:01:20.800
<v Speaker 1>in the hands of the Democrats, a house in the

0:01:20.840 --> 0:01:25.200
<v Speaker 1>hands of Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden and Kamala Harris

0:01:25.920 --> 0:01:30.440
<v Speaker 1>will be the president and vice president respectively. This is

0:01:31.000 --> 0:01:33.160
<v Speaker 1>a moment when we have to think about what do

0:01:33.200 --> 0:01:36.720
<v Speaker 1>we do next, and we also have to know what

0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:39.880
<v Speaker 1>we didn't do or what wasn't done in our name

0:01:39.920 --> 0:01:42.800
<v Speaker 1>the right way this time around, so we don't repeat

0:01:42.880 --> 0:01:50.320
<v Speaker 1>that error. Why did Mitch McConnell block two thousand dollars

0:01:50.400 --> 0:01:55.080
<v Speaker 1>checks going to Americans under a certain income threshold to

0:01:55.240 --> 0:01:58.800
<v Speaker 1>help them during this pandemic? What was the idea behind them?

0:01:58.880 --> 0:02:05.400
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't servative enough. Well, it's not conservative for the

0:02:05.480 --> 0:02:09.600
<v Speaker 1>United States Senate to sit around and do nothing while

0:02:09.760 --> 0:02:16.600
<v Speaker 1>government authorities across the country violate the constitution, institute unconstitutional lockdowns,

0:02:16.919 --> 0:02:20.760
<v Speaker 1>take tyrannical and dictatorial power in their hands, shut down

0:02:20.880 --> 0:02:24.280
<v Speaker 1>businesses and tell people that they're not allowed to make

0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:27.680
<v Speaker 1>a living anymore, tell them they can't see loved ones,

0:02:27.720 --> 0:02:30.200
<v Speaker 1>tell them they have to wear a mask. All this stuff,

0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:33.760
<v Speaker 1>And what did the Senate do? Well, as we know,

0:02:33.880 --> 0:02:37.160
<v Speaker 1>the United States Congress holds the purse strings that is there,

0:02:38.040 --> 0:02:40.480
<v Speaker 1>that is their prerogative, that is their power, and they

0:02:40.480 --> 0:02:43.000
<v Speaker 1>could have done a lot to help, and they were

0:02:43.080 --> 0:02:45.440
<v Speaker 1>doing something to help. We had the PPP, We had

0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:48.280
<v Speaker 1>those six hundred dollar checks that went out to people,

0:02:49.680 --> 0:02:54.520
<v Speaker 1>But why not with the Senate in the balance, be

0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:57.080
<v Speaker 1>the ones to say, you know what, we'll figure this

0:02:57.120 --> 0:02:59.920
<v Speaker 1>out later. We're going to get the checks the American people. Now,

0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:02.120
<v Speaker 1>we'll figure out how to pay for this down the line.

0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:06.120
<v Speaker 1>But putting Democrats in charge, you know what we've managed

0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:10.160
<v Speaker 1>to do here lose the battle as well as the

0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:14.400
<v Speaker 1>war over the United States Senate. And that means that

0:03:14.440 --> 0:03:17.320
<v Speaker 1>you're going to have two thousand dollars checks going to Americans,

0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:20.480
<v Speaker 1>but guess what, Democrats are going to be the ones

0:03:21.000 --> 0:03:25.920
<v Speaker 1>taking credit for it. So this principle stand was the

0:03:25.960 --> 0:03:29.480
<v Speaker 1>equivalent of charging the machine gun ness without a plan,

0:03:31.240 --> 0:03:35.680
<v Speaker 1>and we got wasted. That's what Mitch McConnell came up with.

0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:40.520
<v Speaker 1>He has had his moments, friends, He is good about

0:03:40.520 --> 0:03:44.160
<v Speaker 1>the judicial machinery. We've gotten a lot of judges through.

0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:47.360
<v Speaker 1>He has held the line on those issues. But on

0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:53.000
<v Speaker 1>political strategy, this was disastrous, disastrous, and there is plenty

0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:55.560
<v Speaker 1>of blame to go around. I don't want to focus

0:03:56.320 --> 0:03:59.440
<v Speaker 1>too much of our time and attention on that because

0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:01.880
<v Speaker 1>I know that and become just a circular firing squad

0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:05.080
<v Speaker 1>for Republicans, and but we do need to understand what

0:04:05.160 --> 0:04:10.600
<v Speaker 1>happened here. Kelly Leffler has no political skill or talent

0:04:11.200 --> 0:04:14.760
<v Speaker 1>to anyone who's being an honest observer, but she's rich

0:04:14.880 --> 0:04:19.560
<v Speaker 1>and connected and good at fundraising, and that was what

0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:22.720
<v Speaker 1>got her into the position to get appointed as a

0:04:22.800 --> 0:04:30.239
<v Speaker 1>United States Senator. And Perdue is an entirely replaceable GOP

0:04:30.440 --> 0:04:32.680
<v Speaker 1>machine politician as well. At least he had a little

0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:36.279
<v Speaker 1>bit more, a little bit more juice in his own state,

0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:41.440
<v Speaker 1>in the Peach State, as it were, But not enough,

0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:46.600
<v Speaker 1>not enough. President Trump campaigned for these candidates, He did

0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:50.599
<v Speaker 1>two rallies for these candidates. He did what he could

0:04:50.680 --> 0:04:55.480
<v Speaker 1>to push them over the finish line. Wasn't enough, wasn't enough.

0:04:56.880 --> 0:04:59.400
<v Speaker 1>As I've talked to you now, there's still the chance,

0:04:59.440 --> 0:05:02.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, they're they're looking at additional votes, and there's

0:05:02.440 --> 0:05:09.400
<v Speaker 1>recount territory we're talking about here with Purdue. But Warnock

0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:13.120
<v Speaker 1>looks like he's got this thing. Kelly Leffler likely defeated

0:05:13.160 --> 0:05:16.520
<v Speaker 1>unless something crazy happens. And we also need to take

0:05:16.560 --> 0:05:19.599
<v Speaker 1>into account what's been going on in recent weeks where

0:05:19.600 --> 0:05:23.040
<v Speaker 1>we keep getting told just wait, it's coming, just wait,

0:05:23.080 --> 0:05:27.880
<v Speaker 1>it's going to turn around, and a dozen't and it doesn't.

0:05:29.520 --> 0:05:32.840
<v Speaker 1>This is real talk, friends. We are heading into a

0:05:33.880 --> 0:05:39.719
<v Speaker 1>two year period where now the pendulum has swung and

0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:41.680
<v Speaker 1>it's not going to a good place for those of

0:05:41.760 --> 0:05:47.760
<v Speaker 1>us who believe in constitutional governance, in individual liberty, in

0:05:47.880 --> 0:05:53.279
<v Speaker 1>personal freedom. In America first love of this country, a

0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:56.880
<v Speaker 1>feeling of unity and bombed with the American people. No,

0:05:57.520 --> 0:06:08.480
<v Speaker 1>we're going back to a government is globalist, internationalist, collectivist, authoritarian, woke, Yes, socialist.

0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:11.680
<v Speaker 1>But what we're seeing increasingly is that Americans aren't scared

0:06:11.720 --> 0:06:15.080
<v Speaker 1>of socialism, at least not enough of us right now.

0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:17.159
<v Speaker 1>We're in that phase because we're a very rich country.

0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:19.679
<v Speaker 1>Or we think socialism is just you get free stuff.

0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:22.400
<v Speaker 1>You're just gonna keep getting free stuff. There's an endless

0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:25.839
<v Speaker 1>amount of that free stuff. And while that's not true,

0:06:26.120 --> 0:06:28.640
<v Speaker 1>it works for people who want to be in power.

0:06:30.120 --> 0:06:32.400
<v Speaker 1>When you and I say socialism, there are a lot

0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:36.120
<v Speaker 1>of Americans and states like Georgia who say, well, does

0:06:36.120 --> 0:06:38.280
<v Speaker 1>that just mean I get free healthcare and my kids

0:06:38.279 --> 0:06:40.120
<v Speaker 1>go to college for free? That sounds pretty good to

0:06:40.160 --> 0:06:44.360
<v Speaker 1>me because they get the benefits up front and the

0:06:44.440 --> 0:06:48.080
<v Speaker 1>pain comes later. And so much of life, so much

0:06:48.120 --> 0:06:51.039
<v Speaker 1>of our existence is really the battle between short term

0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:55.040
<v Speaker 1>and long term gratification. We want to have a happy life,

0:06:55.160 --> 0:06:57.960
<v Speaker 1>want to get what you want in life and achieve

0:06:58.040 --> 0:07:02.120
<v Speaker 1>your dreams. One mantra, one thing that you can do

0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:05.359
<v Speaker 1>more than almost anything else that will put you in

0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:08.560
<v Speaker 1>the place to get what you want personally, professionally, everything else.

0:07:09.000 --> 0:07:16.600
<v Speaker 1>Think long term, Think strategically, long term gratification. Don't eat

0:07:16.680 --> 0:07:21.360
<v Speaker 1>the first stale, crumbly donut that's put in front of you.

0:07:21.400 --> 0:07:23.480
<v Speaker 1>Wait for the two fresh ones to come out of

0:07:23.520 --> 0:07:26.160
<v Speaker 1>the oven that are going to be glistening with that

0:07:26.360 --> 0:07:30.240
<v Speaker 1>frosting and perfectly cooked. Right, That's one of the biggest

0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:34.040
<v Speaker 1>challenges we all have in life, and in socialism you

0:07:34.120 --> 0:07:39.080
<v Speaker 1>get you get nothing but endless, free, but crumbly donuts

0:07:39.080 --> 0:07:40.840
<v Speaker 1>that have been sitting there for who knows how long

0:07:40.960 --> 0:07:42.800
<v Speaker 1>because you're not thinking about what else will come out

0:07:42.800 --> 0:07:46.160
<v Speaker 1>of the oven. You don't care. That's the way this

0:07:46.240 --> 0:07:48.960
<v Speaker 1>has been set up for the American people. We are

0:07:49.000 --> 0:07:50.960
<v Speaker 1>not winning this battle. Now. You would send me but

0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:55.920
<v Speaker 1>but buck Bernie Sanders didn't didn't win. The primarian is

0:07:55.920 --> 0:07:58.280
<v Speaker 1>not the president. Now. Isn't that a rejection of socialism? Now?

0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:02.000
<v Speaker 1>This is all just about the messaging. They're going to

0:08:02.080 --> 0:08:04.640
<v Speaker 1>pursue many of the same policies, just at a slightly

0:08:04.680 --> 0:08:07.600
<v Speaker 1>slower pace that Bernie Sanders would have. But it just

0:08:07.640 --> 0:08:11.680
<v Speaker 1>they call themselves democrats. You see, they don't tell you

0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:15.000
<v Speaker 1>openly and honestly what they're really planning to do. And

0:08:15.040 --> 0:08:17.320
<v Speaker 1>by the time everyone figures it out, it's too late.

0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:21.720
<v Speaker 1>They've already done it. What are you going to do then, now,

0:08:21.800 --> 0:08:25.240
<v Speaker 1>Mitch McConnell's decision to block two thousand dollar checks for

0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:28.960
<v Speaker 1>Americans has only done one thing, and hasn't even stopped

0:08:29.000 --> 0:08:32.160
<v Speaker 1>Americans from getting those checks. And if you're so concerned

0:08:32.200 --> 0:08:35.160
<v Speaker 1>about the debt and the deficit, and let's remember we

0:08:35.240 --> 0:08:38.360
<v Speaker 1>haven't heard about that for four years, we're gonna start

0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:41.360
<v Speaker 1>talking about it now. But until people feel the pain

0:08:41.480 --> 0:08:45.400
<v Speaker 1>of that, until they understand what it means to the currency,

0:08:45.520 --> 0:08:48.360
<v Speaker 1>to the value of the dollar, to your purchasing power

0:08:48.400 --> 0:08:51.080
<v Speaker 1>in the global marketplace, until people really understand that, and

0:08:51.080 --> 0:08:53.760
<v Speaker 1>who knows when that will happen, it just seems like

0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:57.800
<v Speaker 1>it's all free funny money. Mitch McConnell picked a very

0:08:57.880 --> 0:09:02.040
<v Speaker 1>strange time to take a stand for this. Then his

0:09:02.160 --> 0:09:04.000
<v Speaker 1>leadership is over and I don't know if he'll ever

0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:06.760
<v Speaker 1>be sent a majority leader again. I don't think he

0:09:06.760 --> 0:09:13.080
<v Speaker 1>should be. This was an unbelievable blunder, the focus on

0:09:13.280 --> 0:09:16.400
<v Speaker 1>the cheating in Georgia. And I'm going to say this,

0:09:16.440 --> 0:09:19.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to speak to you always honestly from the heart.

0:09:20.120 --> 0:09:23.760
<v Speaker 1>The focus on the cheating from the Trump campaign in

0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:27.880
<v Speaker 1>the last few weeks I think was too much, because

0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:31.360
<v Speaker 1>are we actually gonna are we working to get the

0:09:31.400 --> 0:09:34.280
<v Speaker 1>message out there to drive up votes, or are we

0:09:34.320 --> 0:09:37.240
<v Speaker 1>gonna get are we gonna get bogged down in the

0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:41.560
<v Speaker 1>continued oh but they cheated in the election rhetoric. And

0:09:41.760 --> 0:09:43.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm just speaking purely about what work, don't I don't

0:09:43.960 --> 0:09:45.720
<v Speaker 1>need to hear about Oh but it's, you know, the

0:09:45.760 --> 0:09:48.200
<v Speaker 1>principle of the thing. Yeah, We've been talking about the

0:09:48.200 --> 0:09:51.000
<v Speaker 1>principle of the cheating in Georgia for now two months.

0:09:51.600 --> 0:09:53.760
<v Speaker 1>And I told you that we had to get ready

0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:56.200
<v Speaker 1>for January fifth, and that this was going to come

0:09:56.280 --> 0:09:57.839
<v Speaker 1>up on us. And I was worried. Are those of

0:09:57.880 --> 0:09:59.360
<v Speaker 1>you who listening to the show, Yes, I've been worried

0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:02.760
<v Speaker 1>that we're gonna lose these Senate seats from the beginning.

0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:05.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean, ever since the November election, I thought, hold

0:10:05.480 --> 0:10:08.560
<v Speaker 1>on a second, we got a problem in Georgia as well,

0:10:09.040 --> 0:10:13.080
<v Speaker 1>beyond what just happened at the presidential presidential level, and

0:10:13.320 --> 0:10:16.439
<v Speaker 1>you know this Raffensburger feud with Trump and all this stuff.

0:10:16.440 --> 0:10:20.600
<v Speaker 1>We needed a united and competent GOP in Georgia and

0:10:20.640 --> 0:10:26.560
<v Speaker 1>we did not have it. So I'm not here to

0:10:26.559 --> 0:10:28.520
<v Speaker 1>tell you to despair. I'm not here to tell you that,

0:10:29.200 --> 0:10:32.280
<v Speaker 1>oh all is lost, because it's not. It's not. Just

0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:36.360
<v Speaker 1>remember in two thousand and eight they were writing the

0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:41.040
<v Speaker 1>GOP's obituary, and then in two thousand and ten we

0:10:41.160 --> 0:10:44.240
<v Speaker 1>got what six Senate seats I can't even remember how many,

0:10:44.280 --> 0:10:47.280
<v Speaker 1>a huge red wave of House seats the Tea Party,

0:10:48.200 --> 0:10:50.319
<v Speaker 1>and that's what we need to go to. Now. I'm

0:10:50.360 --> 0:10:54.679
<v Speaker 1>not sitting here oh boo hoo, woe is Whoe is America? No,

0:10:56.440 --> 0:10:58.960
<v Speaker 1>we're learning, we're learning a tough lesson here. The other

0:10:58.960 --> 0:11:02.920
<v Speaker 1>side is ruthless. They're unscrupulous, and they want power, and

0:11:02.920 --> 0:11:05.040
<v Speaker 1>they will wield power, and they'll do it in such

0:11:05.080 --> 0:11:06.840
<v Speaker 1>a way they hope we can never get it back.

0:11:08.240 --> 0:11:10.360
<v Speaker 1>It is our job, as our duty to this country,

0:11:10.360 --> 0:11:15.040
<v Speaker 1>to fight and to stop them from achieving those goals.

0:11:15.920 --> 0:11:18.640
<v Speaker 1>It's our duty to make sure that we hold the

0:11:18.720 --> 0:11:22.160
<v Speaker 1>line for what is most precious in this country and

0:11:23.760 --> 0:11:28.040
<v Speaker 1>use what we can within the system, everything that we

0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:31.760
<v Speaker 1>can to slow them down. That's right, they gave us

0:11:31.800 --> 0:11:35.920
<v Speaker 1>a lesson for four years. In the extremes they will

0:11:35.960 --> 0:11:38.559
<v Speaker 1>go to to thwart the Trump agenda, and unfortunately they

0:11:38.559 --> 0:11:43.800
<v Speaker 1>were successful in some key areas well. Let's learn. One

0:11:43.800 --> 0:11:46.160
<v Speaker 1>of my favorite things to do is to learn from

0:11:46.559 --> 0:11:50.959
<v Speaker 1>an enemy, learn from an opponent, take their moves, and

0:11:51.120 --> 0:11:55.480
<v Speaker 1>use them against them. That's what we need to do now,

0:11:56.440 --> 0:12:05.480
<v Speaker 1>all out, stimy, stumble, hobble, slow it down, sabotage whatever

0:12:05.520 --> 0:12:10.120
<v Speaker 1>we have to do to stop them from turning this

0:12:10.200 --> 0:12:14.800
<v Speaker 1>country into a one party state where you exist effectively

0:12:14.840 --> 0:12:19.600
<v Speaker 1>at the whim and will of government bureaucrats, where nothing

0:12:19.880 --> 0:12:22.360
<v Speaker 1>is sacred anymore. You have no right that they can't

0:12:22.360 --> 0:12:25.600
<v Speaker 1>infringe on. And we see all this with COVID. That's

0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:28.800
<v Speaker 1>what's really pulled, pulled off the mask, if you will.

0:12:29.880 --> 0:12:32.480
<v Speaker 1>What their real long term plan is is to tell

0:12:32.520 --> 0:12:36.120
<v Speaker 1>you that they can make you do anything they want.

0:12:36.240 --> 0:12:39.319
<v Speaker 1>They don't have to pass legislation to do it. We

0:12:39.440 --> 0:12:42.800
<v Speaker 1>must come up with a way to unify and fight

0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:46.360
<v Speaker 1>back against them. And I hope this show is a

0:12:46.600 --> 0:12:49.480
<v Speaker 1>part of this. That will be my mission every day.

0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:54.480
<v Speaker 1>This is where we are friends. So watch Braveheart, watch

0:12:54.559 --> 0:12:56.720
<v Speaker 1>three hundred, watch a movie, whatever it is for you

0:12:56.800 --> 0:13:00.600
<v Speaker 1>that gets you fired up, Think about the journeys of

0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:03.680
<v Speaker 1>the past, and understand that you, if you want to

0:13:03.679 --> 0:13:05.959
<v Speaker 1>be a part of this fight now, are going to

0:13:06.040 --> 0:13:09.280
<v Speaker 1>have to get ready to play some serious defense. It's

0:13:09.280 --> 0:13:12.200
<v Speaker 1>only going to be two years. I am very confident

0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:15.720
<v Speaker 1>about these mid terms, but this is where we are

0:13:16.440 --> 0:13:21.840
<v Speaker 1>dig in. Shields up, shields high. Thanks for listening to

0:13:21.840 --> 0:13:25.320
<v Speaker 1>The Buck Sexton Show podcast. Get the latest news and

0:13:25.360 --> 0:13:31.120
<v Speaker 1>information from Buck by heading to Bucksexton dot com. It's

0:13:31.120 --> 0:13:34.840
<v Speaker 1>the height of hypocrisy for people who claim to be

0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:40.280
<v Speaker 1>the champions of rights for women to deny the very

0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:45.640
<v Speaker 1>biological existence of women. And this recent rule change at

0:13:45.640 --> 0:13:48.760
<v Speaker 1>the House just actually voted and passed on today that

0:13:48.800 --> 0:13:54.160
<v Speaker 1>you were talking about removing references to mothers and fathers,

0:13:54.240 --> 0:13:59.440
<v Speaker 1>brothers and sisters, sons and daughters from congressional rules and administration.

0:14:00.960 --> 0:14:03.760
<v Speaker 1>It's mind blowing because it shows just how out of

0:14:03.800 --> 0:14:08.400
<v Speaker 1>touch with reality and the struggles of everyday Americans. People

0:14:08.440 --> 0:14:12.320
<v Speaker 1>in Congress are But also it shows that, you know,

0:14:12.800 --> 0:14:16.440
<v Speaker 1>their first act as this new Congress could have been

0:14:16.480 --> 0:14:20.360
<v Speaker 1>to make sure that elderly Americans are able to get

0:14:20.400 --> 0:14:24.720
<v Speaker 1>the COVID vaccine now alongside frontline healthcare workers elderly Americans

0:14:24.720 --> 0:14:26.960
<v Speaker 1>who have the highest mortality rates from this virus. But

0:14:27.040 --> 0:14:30.600
<v Speaker 1>instead of doing something that could actually help save people's lives,

0:14:31.000 --> 0:14:34.440
<v Speaker 1>they're choosing instead to say, well, you can't say mother

0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:39.080
<v Speaker 1>or father in any of this congressional language. It's it's astounding.

0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:44.880
<v Speaker 1>That's a very important point that a Democrat tel Telsea Gabbard,

0:14:45.280 --> 0:14:49.080
<v Speaker 1>who is wrong on politics but clearly a good person,

0:14:50.120 --> 0:14:53.480
<v Speaker 1>clearly a person of some decency in character, wrong about

0:14:53.520 --> 0:14:56.680
<v Speaker 1>a lot, hates Trump. I get it, but still a

0:14:56.680 --> 0:15:01.400
<v Speaker 1>good still a reasonable you know, a reasonable person on

0:15:01.440 --> 0:15:04.400
<v Speaker 1>some things, and I think at her core someone that

0:15:04.440 --> 0:15:06.600
<v Speaker 1>you can at least have a real conversation with. Then

0:15:06.600 --> 0:15:08.560
<v Speaker 1>she's not you know why the left has always hated

0:15:08.560 --> 0:15:13.800
<v Speaker 1>her because she doesn't disparage Republican she doesn't despise them.

0:15:14.280 --> 0:15:16.600
<v Speaker 1>She disagrees with them, but she doesn't think if you

0:15:16.720 --> 0:15:19.200
<v Speaker 1>voted for Donald Trump in the past, you're beneath contempt.

0:15:19.400 --> 0:15:22.080
<v Speaker 1>Maybe it's in part because She served her country in

0:15:22.080 --> 0:15:25.640
<v Speaker 1>the military and has greater ideals and aspirations beyond just

0:15:25.680 --> 0:15:28.400
<v Speaker 1>the partisan fight. As I've said, I think she's wrong

0:15:28.440 --> 0:15:30.640
<v Speaker 1>on some things, but on this she's making a key point.

0:15:31.080 --> 0:15:34.160
<v Speaker 1>People are dying in large numbers from COVID nineteen. There's

0:15:34.200 --> 0:15:38.960
<v Speaker 1>a need for urgent government action. The vaccine rollout at

0:15:39.000 --> 0:15:44.000
<v Speaker 1>many different levels is too slow and is preposterous. All right,

0:15:44.280 --> 0:15:47.400
<v Speaker 1>what they're doing here throwing vaccine out in the trash

0:15:47.480 --> 0:15:50.440
<v Speaker 1>sometimes because they can't give it to people who aren't

0:15:50.640 --> 0:15:53.200
<v Speaker 1>the people they're supposed to give it to. But they've

0:15:53.240 --> 0:15:55.920
<v Speaker 1>already thought out some of it, and so for bureaucratic

0:15:55.960 --> 0:15:58.400
<v Speaker 1>reasons that they can't get it to, you know, the

0:15:58.440 --> 0:16:00.880
<v Speaker 1>exact right group, so they give it to no one.

0:16:00.920 --> 0:16:04.480
<v Speaker 1>They throw it out. Think about that that's actually happening.

0:16:04.840 --> 0:16:10.000
<v Speaker 1>And while that's going on, instead of taking urgent action

0:16:10.360 --> 0:16:12.560
<v Speaker 1>to get this to people, and don't look, I'm talking

0:16:12.560 --> 0:16:17.080
<v Speaker 1>about seniors should get the vaccine. The vaccine is less

0:16:17.160 --> 0:16:21.880
<v Speaker 1>dangerous for seniors than the virus is. Okay, that's clear.

0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:25.160
<v Speaker 1>If you're a senior listening this, please, I mean, it's

0:16:25.240 --> 0:16:27.880
<v Speaker 1>it's up to you, but I would implore you even

0:16:27.920 --> 0:16:30.080
<v Speaker 1>the people that have been like me, that have been

0:16:30.120 --> 0:16:34.640
<v Speaker 1>talking about the craziness of the COVID mask shaming, lockdown lunatics.

0:16:35.520 --> 0:16:37.440
<v Speaker 1>All of us are saying, well, well, if you're you know,

0:16:37.440 --> 0:16:40.080
<v Speaker 1>if you're over sixty, over sixty five, and you can

0:16:40.080 --> 0:16:43.240
<v Speaker 1>get this vaccine, you know, that may be the difference

0:16:43.240 --> 0:16:46.920
<v Speaker 1>between you getting hospitalized with this and you're living another

0:16:47.000 --> 0:16:51.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, twenty twenty five, thirty years happily, healthily. So

0:16:51.160 --> 0:16:54.480
<v Speaker 1>please give it, give it some real consideration. But what

0:16:54.600 --> 0:17:00.720
<v Speaker 1>Tolsi is saying here is that they're talking about eliminating

0:17:00.800 --> 0:17:04.360
<v Speaker 1>mother and father from all congressional doctor you can't say

0:17:04.440 --> 0:17:08.040
<v Speaker 1>mother and father. You gotta have more gender inclusive language. Now,

0:17:08.080 --> 0:17:10.280
<v Speaker 1>I know, on the one hand this is idiotic and

0:17:10.359 --> 0:17:12.720
<v Speaker 1>just worthy of mockery, but it's also part of a

0:17:12.760 --> 0:17:16.480
<v Speaker 1>mindset while we sit here and talk about and Republicans

0:17:16.480 --> 0:17:19.160
<v Speaker 1>through this all the time. Legislation, what can we do,

0:17:19.400 --> 0:17:21.639
<v Speaker 1>what should the tax code be? All these things? You

0:17:21.640 --> 0:17:25.800
<v Speaker 1>know what they do. They change the rules of society,

0:17:25.880 --> 0:17:28.720
<v Speaker 1>They change the culture, that change the way we're allowed

0:17:28.800 --> 0:17:35.720
<v Speaker 1>to speak, because that submission feeds into all the other policies,

0:17:35.760 --> 0:17:38.320
<v Speaker 1>all the other things they're trying to do. They know

0:17:38.880 --> 0:17:41.720
<v Speaker 1>that if they can get us to talk about issues

0:17:41.760 --> 0:17:44.439
<v Speaker 1>a certain way, they can also get enough of us

0:17:44.480 --> 0:17:50.439
<v Speaker 1>to agree with them on those issues. This degendering of

0:17:50.560 --> 0:17:54.199
<v Speaker 1>language is insane, but there's a reason they're doing it.

0:17:54.640 --> 0:17:57.119
<v Speaker 1>This is all part of a plan, and we're about

0:17:57.119 --> 0:18:01.760
<v Speaker 1>to see this on steroids for the next two years.

0:18:02.960 --> 0:18:05.719
<v Speaker 1>You're in the Freedom Hut. This is the Buck Sexton

0:18:05.800 --> 0:18:09.919
<v Speaker 1>Show podcast. For more buck head to Bucksexton dot com

<v Speaker 1>and remember to subscribe to the podcast. If you're Mike Pence,

0:18:14.440 --> 0:18:18.080
<v Speaker 1>who has a long history in Washington and as a governor,

0:18:18.800 --> 0:18:22.679
<v Speaker 1>if you're gonna enable the disease of Trump, the lies,

0:18:23.040 --> 0:18:27.360
<v Speaker 1>the attempt to steal an election, to undermine democracy, then

0:18:27.440 --> 0:18:29.439
<v Speaker 1>history is going to judge you very harshly, and you

0:18:29.480 --> 0:18:32.399
<v Speaker 1>don't deserve any future and electoral politics, There's no two

0:18:32.440 --> 0:18:34.520
<v Speaker 1>ways about it. He's vice president of the United States.

0:18:34.560 --> 0:18:37.920
<v Speaker 1>He has a responsibility to the integrity of that office,

0:18:37.960 --> 0:18:41.159
<v Speaker 1>to the integrity of himself. What he's been engaged in

0:18:41.760 --> 0:18:43.840
<v Speaker 1>is a hedge, is a way to tack back and

0:18:43.920 --> 0:18:47.040
<v Speaker 1>forth to stay in Donald Trump's a good favor. That's

0:18:47.040 --> 0:18:51.160
<v Speaker 1>a decision he's made as an individual, and so he'll

0:18:51.760 --> 0:18:53.920
<v Speaker 1>he'll have to be judged for that, but it's certainly

0:18:53.960 --> 0:18:56.560
<v Speaker 1>not in keeping with everything that he claims to stand

0:18:56.600 --> 0:18:59.720
<v Speaker 1>for as a human being and as a politician, because

0:18:59.720 --> 0:19:03.359
<v Speaker 1>there's simply no excuse for trying to thwart the will

0:19:03.400 --> 0:19:08.000
<v Speaker 1>of voters. It is undemocratic. Give me a break, all right,

0:19:08.040 --> 0:19:10.600
<v Speaker 1>We can we stop with all the oh my gosh,

0:19:10.840 --> 0:19:13.879
<v Speaker 1>the tyrant the Constitution. These people have neither read nor

0:19:13.960 --> 0:19:17.520
<v Speaker 1>care about the Constitution, and they had no problem using

0:19:18.040 --> 0:19:21.480
<v Speaker 1>the media and the federal government, the dj the FBI,

0:19:21.560 --> 0:19:24.880
<v Speaker 1>the intelligence community as a weapon against Trump for four

0:19:24.960 --> 0:19:27.160
<v Speaker 1>years with the Russia collusion line that they were all

0:19:27.200 --> 0:19:33.159
<v Speaker 1>active participants in and the initial creatures of. But I

0:19:33.200 --> 0:19:37.440
<v Speaker 1>also need to tell you this, and this is just

0:19:38.400 --> 0:19:41.560
<v Speaker 1>very clear. Vice President Pence is not going to give

0:19:41.560 --> 0:19:43.960
<v Speaker 1>the election to try He's already told them he doesn't

0:19:44.000 --> 0:19:45.560
<v Speaker 1>have the authority to do this, and he's not going

0:19:45.600 --> 0:19:49.159
<v Speaker 1>to do this. That's not going to happen. So, and

0:19:49.440 --> 0:19:51.919
<v Speaker 1>I understand there's there's probably some people today and that

0:19:51.960 --> 0:19:54.679
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna hear. You know, I would ask that you,

0:19:56.560 --> 0:19:59.880
<v Speaker 1>I would ask that you pay attention to who who

0:20:00.119 --> 0:20:05.639
<v Speaker 1>respects you enough to speak honestly to you about all

0:20:05.680 --> 0:20:07.480
<v Speaker 1>of us who respects you enough to speak honestly and

0:20:07.720 --> 0:20:11.760
<v Speaker 1>who panders because we're all we're all bothered right now.

0:20:11.800 --> 0:20:16.679
<v Speaker 1>We're all very disappointed, very I'm disappointed for the country.

0:20:17.440 --> 0:20:21.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm disappointed for the Democrats because I know they think

0:20:21.600 --> 0:20:24.600
<v Speaker 1>that this circumstance that this government will be better, and

0:20:24.600 --> 0:20:26.720
<v Speaker 1>in some ways, for their interests, they would think it is.

0:20:27.520 --> 0:20:31.560
<v Speaker 1>But overall we're going to be less free, less prosperous,

0:20:31.840 --> 0:20:37.840
<v Speaker 1>and less optimistic because of the decisions that have been

0:20:37.880 --> 0:20:42.040
<v Speaker 1>made in the last three months by voters. And now

0:20:42.080 --> 0:20:46.239
<v Speaker 1>I know, fraud, cheating, changing the rules, I understand that.

0:20:46.320 --> 0:20:49.679
<v Speaker 1>But you know, at some point, if you've you know,

0:20:49.840 --> 0:20:52.360
<v Speaker 1>if you've lost a football game because they paid off

0:20:52.400 --> 0:20:54.760
<v Speaker 1>the refs, you can only talk about it for so

0:20:54.800 --> 0:20:56.960
<v Speaker 1>long before you got to say, Okay, well, how do

0:20:57.000 --> 0:20:59.200
<v Speaker 1>we stop that from happening in the next football game,

0:20:59.200 --> 0:21:02.840
<v Speaker 1>and how do we win that game? And we're getting

0:21:02.920 --> 0:21:06.439
<v Speaker 1>very close to that point. Do it, Mike. This is

0:21:06.440 --> 0:21:10.880
<v Speaker 1>a time for extreme courage. Trump says in a tweet.

0:21:12.200 --> 0:21:16.960
<v Speaker 1>He's saying as he's saying that he wants Mike Pence

0:21:17.560 --> 0:21:20.359
<v Speaker 1>to effectively overturn this whole thing. It's it's not gonna

0:21:20.400 --> 0:21:22.760
<v Speaker 1>I keep telling you it's just not gonna happen, the

0:21:22.800 --> 0:21:24.359
<v Speaker 1>same way that I've been saying that you're going to

0:21:24.400 --> 0:21:28.359
<v Speaker 1>deal with a presidency of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

0:21:29.520 --> 0:21:31.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm here to tell you the truth, and the truth

0:21:31.800 --> 0:21:34.320
<v Speaker 1>on this situation is that Mike Pence will not do this.

0:21:35.080 --> 0:21:38.880
<v Speaker 1>He cannot and will not. Now I understand Trump, I

0:21:38.920 --> 0:21:44.280
<v Speaker 1>think is trying to mobilize everybody for what's coming, and

0:21:44.359 --> 0:21:47.720
<v Speaker 1>he wants to show that he will fight with everything

0:21:47.720 --> 0:21:50.040
<v Speaker 1>he has. He wants to show that even if he

0:21:50.119 --> 0:21:52.439
<v Speaker 1>knows that this is a this is a match, this

0:21:52.520 --> 0:21:56.000
<v Speaker 1>is a boxing match where we're about to we're about

0:21:56.000 --> 0:21:59.800
<v Speaker 1>to lose on points. He is going to go down,

0:22:00.040 --> 0:22:02.600
<v Speaker 1>throw and every punch he's got, and he's going to

0:22:02.680 --> 0:22:05.639
<v Speaker 1>stay in this until the bell rings. I respect that,

0:22:05.680 --> 0:22:11.320
<v Speaker 1>and I could appreciate that, But they've out they've out

0:22:11.640 --> 0:22:15.560
<v Speaker 1>pointed us so to speak up this up to this phase,

0:22:16.000 --> 0:22:17.560
<v Speaker 1>and we don't have enough time to make it up

0:22:17.600 --> 0:22:21.199
<v Speaker 1>in this election. We just don't. We just don't. If

0:22:21.240 --> 0:22:23.080
<v Speaker 1>you think I'm missing something, if you think that there's

0:22:23.119 --> 0:22:25.119
<v Speaker 1>some aspect of this I'm not seeing, please let me know.

0:22:25.240 --> 0:22:27.920
<v Speaker 1>I have one thing I love about this about this

0:22:27.960 --> 0:22:30.919
<v Speaker 1>audience is I have learned so much now going on

0:22:30.960 --> 0:22:32.800
<v Speaker 1>almost ten years, I've learned so much from the people

0:22:32.800 --> 0:22:36.399
<v Speaker 1>who listened to this show. I still remember when some

0:22:36.480 --> 0:22:39.000
<v Speaker 1>of you in twenty people are still listening today and

0:22:39.119 --> 0:22:40.879
<v Speaker 1>many of you now have been listening to my radio

0:22:40.920 --> 0:22:46.800
<v Speaker 1>show for eight years, nine years. But I remember when

0:22:46.960 --> 0:22:48.960
<v Speaker 1>some of you were telling me, hey, Trump early in

0:22:49.000 --> 0:22:52.920
<v Speaker 1>the primary, he's got something, you know, He's he's coming

0:22:53.000 --> 0:22:56.280
<v Speaker 1>with something that people haven't seen before. And you were right.

0:22:57.359 --> 0:22:59.679
<v Speaker 1>So if I'm if I'm in some way not seeing

0:22:59.680 --> 0:23:02.840
<v Speaker 1>the may tricks clearly here by all means let me know,

0:23:03.359 --> 0:23:05.960
<v Speaker 1>because I exist. I do this show every day to

0:23:06.000 --> 0:23:08.359
<v Speaker 1>serve you, to inform and entertain all of you listening

0:23:08.359 --> 0:23:13.160
<v Speaker 1>all across the country, hundreds of thousands of you, and

0:23:13.160 --> 0:23:15.720
<v Speaker 1>it means a lot. But it also means that I

0:23:15.760 --> 0:23:18.240
<v Speaker 1>have to share with you my honest feelings every day.

0:23:18.240 --> 0:23:20.320
<v Speaker 1>I owe that to you. And you know, today is

0:23:20.359 --> 0:23:22.639
<v Speaker 1>one of these days where we have to just rally.

0:23:23.680 --> 0:23:27.080
<v Speaker 1>I know we have taken a punch and it stinks,

0:23:27.840 --> 0:23:29.760
<v Speaker 1>and there are better words for it, but I can't

0:23:29.760 --> 0:23:32.119
<v Speaker 1>say them on radio. That is where the situation is.

0:23:32.160 --> 0:23:35.119
<v Speaker 1>So I appreciate that are all these patriots rallying today

0:23:35.119 --> 0:23:36.600
<v Speaker 1>in DC, and this is what I would say, And

0:23:36.680 --> 0:23:39.119
<v Speaker 1>you know there include friends of my many friends of

0:23:39.160 --> 0:23:42.480
<v Speaker 1>minor down there. What I would say about this is

0:23:42.560 --> 0:23:47.399
<v Speaker 1>that there is a need right now for unity in

0:23:47.680 --> 0:23:52.600
<v Speaker 1>opposition to what's happening. We need to come together. We

0:23:52.680 --> 0:23:54.760
<v Speaker 1>need to be in a place, we need to be

0:23:54.840 --> 0:23:58.080
<v Speaker 1>in a position where we understand what we're trying to

0:23:58.119 --> 0:24:03.240
<v Speaker 1>achieve and what we're trying to thwart. And a part

0:24:03.280 --> 0:24:05.840
<v Speaker 1>of this is going to be I want good faith

0:24:06.080 --> 0:24:10.040
<v Speaker 1>Republicans from all across the spectrum, even people that were

0:24:10.080 --> 0:24:13.320
<v Speaker 1>a little not never Trumpers who are just their Democrats,

0:24:13.920 --> 0:24:16.800
<v Speaker 1>but people that were a little iffy on Trump or whatever.

0:24:17.520 --> 0:24:21.800
<v Speaker 1>We all need to be in the same foxhol now.

0:24:21.920 --> 0:24:24.600
<v Speaker 1>We all need to come together on this one and

0:24:24.720 --> 0:24:28.480
<v Speaker 1>see what we're up against. Because the Democrats, they are

0:24:28.480 --> 0:24:31.600
<v Speaker 1>gonna they're gonna spend two years trying to steamrollers. You

0:24:31.640 --> 0:24:33.119
<v Speaker 1>know what I think their first move is going to be,

0:24:33.960 --> 0:24:35.960
<v Speaker 1>and you can mark this one down. They're going to

0:24:36.000 --> 0:24:38.560
<v Speaker 1>eliminate the filibuster. You know what they're gonna do. They're

0:24:38.560 --> 0:24:44.040
<v Speaker 1>going to eliminate the filibuster to pass two thousand dollars

0:24:44.040 --> 0:24:51.000
<v Speaker 1>stimulus checks or to pass a national fifteen dollar minimum wage.

0:24:51.640 --> 0:24:55.720
<v Speaker 1>That's what they're gonna do. Something that is generally popular

0:24:56.359 --> 0:24:58.959
<v Speaker 1>but that Republicans haven't been willing to go along with,

0:24:59.080 --> 0:25:02.480
<v Speaker 1>or that Republicans have objections too, and they're gonna say, see,

0:25:02.880 --> 0:25:07.120
<v Speaker 1>we got rid of the filibuster. We did this for you, America.

0:25:07.200 --> 0:25:09.200
<v Speaker 1>How do you like those two thousand dollars checks? How

0:25:09.200 --> 0:25:12.640
<v Speaker 1>do you like that fifteen dollars minimum rate? Minimum wage increase?

0:25:14.119 --> 0:25:17.560
<v Speaker 1>And then as Republicans are all but there's a thing

0:25:17.640 --> 0:25:19.880
<v Speaker 1>tank that wrote a study about the robot minimum wage.

0:25:20.040 --> 0:25:22.880
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna do what we always do. Then they're gonna

0:25:22.960 --> 0:25:27.719
<v Speaker 1>roll out, Oh yeah, now that filibuster thing's gone, how

0:25:27.720 --> 0:25:30.720
<v Speaker 1>about we do an amnesty vote. And we're not gonna

0:25:30.760 --> 0:25:33.200
<v Speaker 1>do full scale amnesty. Let's do it incrementally. Let's let's

0:25:33.200 --> 0:25:36.200
<v Speaker 1>do let's do DACA. Come on, we'll get to fifty

0:25:36.240 --> 0:25:38.679
<v Speaker 1>fifty on DACA. Kamala gets to be the tiebreaker. You

0:25:38.680 --> 0:25:42.720
<v Speaker 1>don't think that that's think of the of the political

0:25:42.880 --> 0:25:48.119
<v Speaker 1>boost that Kamala Harris gets if she is the tie

0:25:48.119 --> 0:25:51.280
<v Speaker 1>breaking vote in the Senate for the passage of a

0:25:51.440 --> 0:25:59.320
<v Speaker 1>limited amnesty that will grant permanent status, legal status two

0:25:59.520 --> 0:26:03.840
<v Speaker 1>million of so called dreamers, illegal aliens who allegedly came

0:26:03.880 --> 0:26:06.040
<v Speaker 1>here at a certain age depending on you know, what

0:26:06.119 --> 0:26:10.240
<v Speaker 1>the statutes say. Think about that. That's going to be

0:26:10.280 --> 0:26:12.800
<v Speaker 1>part of the whole narrative, isn't it. Kamala Harris, so

0:26:12.840 --> 0:26:15.080
<v Speaker 1>it's Biden gets to sign it. Kamala Harris gets to

0:26:15.119 --> 0:26:18.080
<v Speaker 1>be the tie breaking vote. We need to We need

0:26:18.080 --> 0:26:20.359
<v Speaker 1>to get this going. Friends. There is no Krack in

0:26:20.960 --> 0:26:23.040
<v Speaker 1>coming to attack our enemies. And a fact, I remember

0:26:23.040 --> 0:26:26.320
<v Speaker 1>the Kracking getting unleashed, you know, didn't work out. Remember

0:26:26.359 --> 0:26:28.159
<v Speaker 1>that that's one thing about it, or at least to

0:26:28.160 --> 0:26:30.720
<v Speaker 1>the kracking. The problem with it is that, yeah, the

0:26:30.800 --> 0:26:36.280
<v Speaker 1>Krack had lost. We don't even have one. So one

0:26:36.320 --> 0:26:38.480
<v Speaker 1>thing that I will tell you is that you're also

0:26:38.520 --> 0:26:43.320
<v Speaker 1>going to see who really has ideas and knowledge and

0:26:43.520 --> 0:26:47.600
<v Speaker 1>understanding of these issues, and who was just hanging on

0:26:47.640 --> 0:26:51.440
<v Speaker 1>Trump's coattails for the last four years, had nothing to add,

0:26:51.480 --> 0:26:54.960
<v Speaker 1>had nothing to contribute really to the national conversation, but

0:26:55.040 --> 0:26:58.160
<v Speaker 1>saw it all as just a case of individual opportunism.

0:26:58.240 --> 0:27:00.040
<v Speaker 1>There are a lot of them in conservative media. I

0:27:00.080 --> 0:27:02.879
<v Speaker 1>want you to understand this. There are other people that

0:27:02.960 --> 0:27:05.600
<v Speaker 1>have always stood for things that matter to the country

0:27:06.320 --> 0:27:10.040
<v Speaker 1>and can articulate them at will be worthwhile in opposition,

0:27:10.880 --> 0:27:15.280
<v Speaker 1>because just trying to repeat whatever they think is going

0:27:15.320 --> 0:27:17.639
<v Speaker 1>to be the most pleasing to Trump. That's not going

0:27:17.680 --> 0:27:20.000
<v Speaker 1>to work anymore. When we are out of power and

0:27:20.080 --> 0:27:23.320
<v Speaker 1>an opposition, we need more than that. We need to

0:27:23.359 --> 0:27:28.840
<v Speaker 1>win on the battlefield of ideas, and that means also

0:27:28.880 --> 0:27:32.840
<v Speaker 1>winning the culture, and it means finding common ground on

0:27:32.880 --> 0:27:37.320
<v Speaker 1>these issues with independence where we can. It means mobilizing

0:27:37.440 --> 0:27:42.760
<v Speaker 1>a populist conservative coalition to take back power from these

0:27:42.880 --> 0:27:45.840
<v Speaker 1>lunatic libs. That's where we have to go. Now we

0:27:45.920 --> 0:27:47.800
<v Speaker 1>have to build it. We have to construct it. I

0:27:47.840 --> 0:27:49.800
<v Speaker 1>wish I could say it was already there. I wish

0:27:49.840 --> 0:27:51.320
<v Speaker 1>I could point to the house on the hill and

0:27:51.320 --> 0:27:54.480
<v Speaker 1>say there we are, We're all set. No, now we

0:27:54.600 --> 0:27:56.640
<v Speaker 1>have to go out into the woods and hack down

0:27:56.720 --> 0:28:00.359
<v Speaker 1>the trees and build it from scratch. That's the feeling,

0:28:00.359 --> 0:28:02.560
<v Speaker 1>at least of where we are at this moment in time.

0:28:02.800 --> 0:28:07.480
<v Speaker 1>But embrace it. It's a fight worth having. You're in

0:28:07.520 --> 0:28:10.840
<v Speaker 1>the freedom hunt. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast.

0:28:11.240 --> 0:28:14.240
<v Speaker 1>Get more from Buck by following him on social media

0:28:14.359 --> 0:28:18.119
<v Speaker 1>at Buck Sexton on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Do you

0:28:18.200 --> 0:28:22.000
<v Speaker 1>think you'd get fair treatment from CNN if your brother

0:28:22.040 --> 0:28:27.119
<v Speaker 1>had a primetime show on that channel. Well, ifs and

0:28:27.200 --> 0:28:29.720
<v Speaker 1>butts were candy and nuts, every day would be Christmas.

0:28:29.720 --> 0:28:31.800
<v Speaker 1>But you know, I think it's pretty clear some of

0:28:31.840 --> 0:28:37.040
<v Speaker 1>these networks obviously they have agendas. They're doing narratives. They're

0:28:37.040 --> 0:28:40.120
<v Speaker 1>not trying to report facts anymore. It's all about spinning

0:28:40.120 --> 0:28:42.760
<v Speaker 1>whatever narrative they think can get ratings. And that's just

0:28:42.800 --> 0:28:46.040
<v Speaker 1>the reality of the situation. So it doesn't impact me.

0:28:46.480 --> 0:28:48.440
<v Speaker 1>We're going to continue keeping our eye on the ball

0:28:48.600 --> 0:28:50.800
<v Speaker 1>and working as hard as we can and deliver results.

0:28:50.960 --> 0:28:54.600
<v Speaker 1>And results have been delivered. Let's focus on some positives here,

0:28:54.800 --> 0:28:59.320
<v Speaker 1>the lockdown Libs, the Democrat left. They have been wrong

0:28:59.360 --> 0:29:02.480
<v Speaker 1>on this on how to handle COVID. And I know

0:29:02.600 --> 0:29:04.520
<v Speaker 1>you'd say, well, but Buck, look at how the elections

0:29:04.520 --> 0:29:09.480
<v Speaker 1>are going. Yeah, but it's really just Trump and Georgia

0:29:09.840 --> 0:29:13.400
<v Speaker 1>that we have to to mourn at this point. As

0:29:13.400 --> 0:29:17.120
<v Speaker 1>elections go, it's really just those And I don't know

0:29:17.160 --> 0:29:19.160
<v Speaker 1>that's a lot. I'm not saying it's it's it's minor.

0:29:19.200 --> 0:29:24.840
<v Speaker 1>But the House Republicans actually picked up seats and state

0:29:24.920 --> 0:29:28.280
<v Speaker 1>legislatures did well. You know, there is some there's some

0:29:28.320 --> 0:29:32.960
<v Speaker 1>reason for limited optimism about that. I know if we

0:29:33.000 --> 0:29:34.600
<v Speaker 1>had if we had held the Senate, everything would have

0:29:34.600 --> 0:29:37.640
<v Speaker 1>felt like it was okay. But I wouldn't say okay,

0:29:37.680 --> 0:29:40.000
<v Speaker 1>but it would have felt better, Folks. I'm trying to

0:29:40.000 --> 0:29:41.840
<v Speaker 1>find silver linings, you know what I'm saying. But still,

0:29:42.000 --> 0:29:46.120
<v Speaker 1>but Florida is one big silver lining because you have

0:29:46.160 --> 0:29:48.680
<v Speaker 1>a governor who has defied the consensus. You have a

0:29:48.720 --> 0:29:51.840
<v Speaker 1>governor who has refused to go and bend the knee

0:29:52.760 --> 0:29:55.920
<v Speaker 1>to the Fauciites. That guy Fauci is a complete jackass,

0:29:56.560 --> 0:29:58.480
<v Speaker 1>and it's disgusting what he's done in the country. He

0:29:58.520 --> 0:30:00.800
<v Speaker 1>should be ashamed of himself. He's not. He never will be.

0:30:01.360 --> 0:30:04.240
<v Speaker 1>And that's important for everybody to know it. It doesn't matter.

0:30:04.280 --> 0:30:06.320
<v Speaker 1>There will never come a time when the people who

0:30:06.480 --> 0:30:09.760
<v Speaker 1>advocated for all of this sit back and say, you

0:30:09.840 --> 0:30:12.840
<v Speaker 1>know what, we were wrong. You know what, we didn't

0:30:12.880 --> 0:30:15.920
<v Speaker 1>have to lock down the country. After all, that didn't

0:30:15.920 --> 0:30:18.320
<v Speaker 1>really give us any benefit and it caused a lot

0:30:18.320 --> 0:30:22.680
<v Speaker 1>of drawbacks for us, So we're sorry. Unfortunately, I could

0:30:22.720 --> 0:30:25.600
<v Speaker 1>sit here and tell you that's never gonna happen. It

0:30:25.640 --> 0:30:28.360
<v Speaker 1>doesn't matter what the data shows doesn't matter what the

0:30:28.440 --> 0:30:33.480
<v Speaker 1>eventual epidemiological advances are, where we have a better understanding

0:30:33.520 --> 0:30:39.200
<v Speaker 1>of how really the virus spreads, meaning how quickly, how easily.

0:30:39.480 --> 0:30:42.800
<v Speaker 1>We have some general numbers about all that. But all right,

0:30:43.000 --> 0:30:45.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, how well how well do notice? You can't

0:30:45.880 --> 0:30:48.040
<v Speaker 1>even ask this question. If I say how well do

0:30:48.160 --> 0:30:52.960
<v Speaker 1>masks work? People start screaming masks work? Okay? How well?

0:30:53.760 --> 0:30:56.440
<v Speaker 1>I can tell you how well a vaccine works based

0:30:56.480 --> 0:31:00.920
<v Speaker 1>on large controlled trials, you know, different acts ninety five

0:31:01.120 --> 0:31:05.600
<v Speaker 1>ninety four percent effective for COVID nineteen though that's real data.

0:31:05.800 --> 0:31:09.680
<v Speaker 1>How well do masks work? Anyone want to try? And oh,

0:31:09.760 --> 0:31:12.360
<v Speaker 1>we've got a model that says if eighty percent of

0:31:12.440 --> 0:31:15.720
<v Speaker 1>people were a masked ninety percent of the time in

0:31:15.840 --> 0:31:18.760
<v Speaker 1>forty percent of places, then it would be ninety five percent.

0:31:19.120 --> 0:31:21.720
<v Speaker 1>This is all just make believe. They don't know, that's

0:31:21.720 --> 0:31:24.080
<v Speaker 1>not real data. That's like when they're telling you what

0:31:24.120 --> 0:31:25.880
<v Speaker 1>the climate's going to be in a hundred years. They

0:31:25.880 --> 0:31:28.160
<v Speaker 1>don't and they're wrong. Of course, every ten years they

0:31:28.160 --> 0:31:32.520
<v Speaker 1>have to keep adjusting these things they don't know, but

0:31:33.440 --> 0:31:35.680
<v Speaker 1>they're never going to change. They're never going to admit

0:31:35.720 --> 0:31:39.040
<v Speaker 1>that this was all disastrous and in fact, I'm of

0:31:39.080 --> 0:31:44.880
<v Speaker 1>the belief that the Democrats' ability to dominate the narrative

0:31:44.920 --> 0:31:49.720
<v Speaker 1>because of the media panic that was induced and or

0:31:49.760 --> 0:31:52.719
<v Speaker 1>the media inducing panic in the public. The Democrat narrative

0:31:52.760 --> 0:31:55.040
<v Speaker 1>about COVID and how Trump was so inapt and so

0:31:55.080 --> 0:31:57.640
<v Speaker 1>ineffective and handling it. I think that played a very

0:31:57.760 --> 0:32:00.120
<v Speaker 1>large role in the election, because you know, that's not

0:32:00.160 --> 0:32:03.920
<v Speaker 1>something people would necessarily tell to a polster, or it's

0:32:03.960 --> 0:32:07.080
<v Speaker 1>not something that the data would all that clearly indicate.

0:32:08.040 --> 0:32:11.000
<v Speaker 1>But I think that it affected to overall perception is

0:32:11.080 --> 0:32:13.600
<v Speaker 1>Trump doing a good job. A lot of people would

0:32:13.600 --> 0:32:16.160
<v Speaker 1>look at what happened in twenty twenty with COVID, and

0:32:16.160 --> 0:32:18.000
<v Speaker 1>that'd say, well, look at how terrible things are in

0:32:18.000 --> 0:32:21.560
<v Speaker 1>the country. Is that fair? No? Did the media exploit this, Yes,

0:32:22.600 --> 0:32:26.880
<v Speaker 1>but it worked. It works. And what we're going to

0:32:26.920 --> 0:32:30.960
<v Speaker 1>see now is there are going to be these red

0:32:31.080 --> 0:32:36.160
<v Speaker 1>state or redder states placed like Florida Haven's set up

0:32:36.760 --> 0:32:39.800
<v Speaker 1>and where you have these mass migrations occurring from the

0:32:39.840 --> 0:32:42.720
<v Speaker 1>blue strongholds California, New York. They're gonna have enormous problems now.

0:32:42.720 --> 0:32:45.560
<v Speaker 1>They're going to try to make up that shortfall in

0:32:46.040 --> 0:32:48.800
<v Speaker 1>tax revenue and at the federal level. Now, that's right,

0:32:48.840 --> 0:32:52.840
<v Speaker 1>The federal bailouts are coming for these cities. So understand there,

0:32:53.400 --> 0:32:56.160
<v Speaker 1>that's the socialism that we don't spend much time talking

0:32:56.200 --> 0:33:00.959
<v Speaker 1>about the redistribution of wealth to prefer Democrat enclaves at

0:33:00.960 --> 0:33:03.480
<v Speaker 1>the federal level. Now, they would say, oh, but they

0:33:03.520 --> 0:33:05.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, they pay more in taxes and the red

0:33:05.880 --> 0:33:09.280
<v Speaker 1>states have you know, they get getting more benefits per

0:33:09.320 --> 0:33:12.320
<v Speaker 1>per resident. What I'm saying is that, yeah, but they're

0:33:12.360 --> 0:33:14.240
<v Speaker 1>about to turn this whole thing around because they're gonna

0:33:14.280 --> 0:33:16.640
<v Speaker 1>start shooting the money gun at all these blue states

0:33:16.640 --> 0:33:21.200
<v Speaker 1>that are hemorrhaging residents. They can try to shore up

0:33:21.240 --> 0:33:24.280
<v Speaker 1>the public sector unions. They can try to make it

0:33:24.320 --> 0:33:27.800
<v Speaker 1>seem like the holes in the budgets are not so catastrophic.

0:33:28.920 --> 0:33:31.920
<v Speaker 1>So they're gonna try to stop that mass migration from

0:33:31.960 --> 0:33:36.120
<v Speaker 1>happening because it's bad for the for the Democrat brand. Florida,

0:33:36.240 --> 0:33:38.160
<v Speaker 1>I saw dissent to say that they're up twenty percent

0:33:38.200 --> 0:33:43.000
<v Speaker 1>in housing sales, twenty percent during a pandemic. People are fleeing,

0:33:43.040 --> 0:33:45.440
<v Speaker 1>they're going there. They're saying enough, I can't do this anymore.

0:33:45.560 --> 0:33:47.440
<v Speaker 1>I talk to friends in New York, I gotta say,

0:33:48.080 --> 0:33:51.800
<v Speaker 1>we're under you know, a strict lockdown here, and people

0:33:51.840 --> 0:33:55.440
<v Speaker 1>are just they're they're cracking up. I mean, they're losing it.

0:33:56.200 --> 0:33:59.440
<v Speaker 1>For what what's the benefit. What would happen if you

0:33:59.480 --> 0:34:01.560
<v Speaker 1>opened up restaurants in New York City but you had

0:34:01.600 --> 0:34:04.880
<v Speaker 1>these mitigation measures in place, you know, limitations of people,

0:34:04.880 --> 0:34:06.880
<v Speaker 1>the answers, It would basically be what it is right now.

0:34:06.960 --> 0:34:10.960
<v Speaker 1>So why not open up the restaurants? It would based

0:34:10.960 --> 0:34:13.399
<v Speaker 1>on their data, it would be ninety nine percent the same.

0:34:13.480 --> 0:34:16.719
<v Speaker 1>It's that's not worth it. It's not worth it. It's

0:34:16.760 --> 0:34:23.719
<v Speaker 1>worth putting tens of thousands of people out of work, immiserrated, sick, homeless,

0:34:23.760 --> 0:34:29.080
<v Speaker 1>perhaps all it's worth that to have one a possible

0:34:29.120 --> 0:34:34.560
<v Speaker 1>one percent reduction in cases. Wow, I guess you know,

0:34:34.600 --> 0:34:36.799
<v Speaker 1>if it saves just one life, we better shut down

0:34:36.800 --> 0:34:38.279
<v Speaker 1>every year for the flu. If that's going to be

0:34:38.320 --> 0:34:40.800
<v Speaker 1>our approach every year, gotta shut down the flu's coming.

0:34:41.080 --> 0:34:43.960
<v Speaker 1>What those tens of thousands of lives don't matter? You

0:34:44.000 --> 0:34:46.680
<v Speaker 1>know what happened? If we also, I have to wonder

0:34:47.320 --> 0:34:50.560
<v Speaker 1>the flu is basically eradicated. How is that possible? Oh?

0:34:50.560 --> 0:34:53.560
<v Speaker 1>Because social distancing and mask wearing. Now we're led to

0:34:53.560 --> 0:34:58.640
<v Speaker 1>believe is almost one hundred percent effective against the influenza virus,

0:34:59.360 --> 0:35:02.280
<v Speaker 1>but like not effective if really well, you can't prove

0:35:02.320 --> 0:35:06.400
<v Speaker 1>it any data effectiveness whatsoever based on what's happening right

0:35:06.400 --> 0:35:09.160
<v Speaker 1>now with COVID. Notice they don't even have an explanation

0:35:09.200 --> 0:35:11.759
<v Speaker 1>for this other than yeah, it works against the flu

0:35:11.920 --> 0:35:16.040
<v Speaker 1>super well. That's quite strange considering there are tens of

0:35:16.080 --> 0:35:19.560
<v Speaker 1>millions of flucases every year. It's pretty contagious, folks. But

0:35:19.680 --> 0:35:23.520
<v Speaker 1>DeSantis is a shining light from the Sunshine state we got.

0:35:23.719 --> 0:35:27.400
<v Speaker 1>We gotta take our victories where we can. You're in

0:35:27.440 --> 0:35:31.120
<v Speaker 1>the freedom Hunt. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast

0:35:31.239 --> 0:35:34.640
<v Speaker 1>from More Bucked. Head to Bucksexton dot com and remember

0:35:34.719 --> 0:35:41.040
<v Speaker 1>to subscribe to the podcast. No charges for the police

0:35:41.080 --> 0:35:47.759
<v Speaker 1>officer who shot Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Now you

0:35:47.800 --> 0:35:52.080
<v Speaker 1>may recall this was over the summer when BLM was

0:35:52.360 --> 0:36:00.560
<v Speaker 1>engaged in riots across the country, when BLM was looting

0:36:00.640 --> 0:36:08.160
<v Speaker 1>stores and attacking innocent people's businesses and homes and throwing

0:36:08.239 --> 0:36:12.560
<v Speaker 1>rocks at police officers. Antifa was trying to blind cops

0:36:12.600 --> 0:36:14.839
<v Speaker 1>with lasers fired in their eyes. You remember when all

0:36:14.880 --> 0:36:19.520
<v Speaker 1>that was going on, all about what was happening. The

0:36:19.560 --> 0:36:23.920
<v Speaker 1>media was also looking for any opportunity to take a

0:36:24.040 --> 0:36:28.239
<v Speaker 1>story of a police involved shooting and turn it into

0:36:28.840 --> 0:36:33.200
<v Speaker 1>some kind of evil racist look another cop doing what

0:36:33.239 --> 0:36:37.440
<v Speaker 1>cops do, being terrible, shooting an unarmed black man, and

0:36:37.960 --> 0:36:41.399
<v Speaker 1>then get the cycle going all over again. I will say,

0:36:41.480 --> 0:36:44.080
<v Speaker 1>just as an aside, it is deeply disappointing to me

0:36:44.120 --> 0:36:47.520
<v Speaker 1>as an American that the Democrats did not pay a

0:36:47.560 --> 0:36:52.840
<v Speaker 1>bigger price for their their reckless demagoguery on this issue.

0:36:52.920 --> 0:36:56.920
<v Speaker 1>And they're really wholesale embrace of not just the BLM movement,

0:36:56.920 --> 0:37:02.080
<v Speaker 1>but also they're either turning a blind eye to or

0:37:02.160 --> 0:37:06.400
<v Speaker 1>just open support of Antifa. And remember Antifa took up

0:37:06.440 --> 0:37:09.759
<v Speaker 1>the Black Lives Matter banner at different points in order

0:37:09.760 --> 0:37:11.839
<v Speaker 1>to give them a kind of moral legitimacy they would

0:37:11.840 --> 0:37:14.840
<v Speaker 1>not have otherwise had. So that's what That's what was

0:37:14.840 --> 0:37:17.239
<v Speaker 1>happening of the summer. And I will tell you I

0:37:17.280 --> 0:37:21.680
<v Speaker 1>think I may have heard of Kenosha, Wisconsin before this summer,

0:37:22.560 --> 0:37:24.920
<v Speaker 1>but I might not have not a place that I

0:37:24.920 --> 0:37:27.480
<v Speaker 1>could say I know very well. It's a city of

0:37:27.520 --> 0:37:30.160
<v Speaker 1>about fifty thousand. I think it just barely qualifies as

0:37:30.160 --> 0:37:33.440
<v Speaker 1>a city. It's really kind of a big town. But

0:37:33.480 --> 0:37:36.719
<v Speaker 1>there was a shooting in Kenosha, Wisconsin, and we have

0:37:38.000 --> 0:37:44.120
<v Speaker 1>video of the shooting, what occurred, what happened that led

0:37:44.160 --> 0:37:46.840
<v Speaker 1>to riots. Remember, Kenosha was the scene of riots, and

0:37:46.880 --> 0:37:52.920
<v Speaker 1>those riots were so so extreme that then people like

0:37:53.040 --> 0:37:57.680
<v Speaker 1>Kyle Rittenhouse showed up to protect some of the businesses

0:37:57.719 --> 0:38:00.800
<v Speaker 1>and some of the government buildings that were being mobbed

0:38:00.840 --> 0:38:04.080
<v Speaker 1>and assaulted. And then Rittenhouse was mobbed and assaulted, and

0:38:04.080 --> 0:38:08.120
<v Speaker 1>then he shot, shot and killed someone. He says in

0:38:08.200 --> 0:38:11.080
<v Speaker 1>self defense, and certainly seems from the video and the

0:38:11.080 --> 0:38:15.759
<v Speaker 1>evidence presented so far that it was self defense. But

0:38:15.920 --> 0:38:18.960
<v Speaker 1>we'll see what the courts say, right, We'll see where

0:38:19.000 --> 0:38:26.839
<v Speaker 1>this goes. Now we have Kenosha a a final determination

0:38:27.080 --> 0:38:30.160
<v Speaker 1>about the officer involved shooting that led to the riots

0:38:30.200 --> 0:38:35.000
<v Speaker 1>that led to the Rittenhouse incident. And here's what happened.

0:38:35.000 --> 0:38:41.080
<v Speaker 1>The Democrat district attorney, the Democrat district attorney found that

0:38:41.080 --> 0:38:46.520
<v Speaker 1>the police officer here should not be charged, right, that

0:38:46.560 --> 0:38:50.000
<v Speaker 1>the police officer involved in this shooting didn't actually break

0:38:50.000 --> 0:38:53.319
<v Speaker 1>the law. And this is a this is at a

0:38:53.360 --> 0:38:56.160
<v Speaker 1>pretty straightforward case if you actually look at the facts.

0:38:57.640 --> 0:39:03.200
<v Speaker 1>It's not surprising to me that the Democrat oh. The

0:39:03.239 --> 0:39:07.840
<v Speaker 1>Washington Post deleted the They deleted the tweet I've responded to.

0:39:07.960 --> 0:39:10.759
<v Speaker 1>It's not surprising to me the Democrat prosecutor didn't bring

0:39:10.840 --> 0:39:15.400
<v Speaker 1>the initial they didn't bring criminal charges. And here's why.

0:39:16.200 --> 0:39:24.839
<v Speaker 1>They have video of Jacob Blake refusing police commands. Obviously

0:39:24.880 --> 0:39:28.680
<v Speaker 1>and repeatedly and clearly. The police are saying stop, stop,

0:39:28.800 --> 0:39:31.080
<v Speaker 1>don't move, don't move, show me your hands, show me

0:39:31.120 --> 0:39:34.400
<v Speaker 1>your hands. They're yelling at this guy, and he's moving

0:39:34.440 --> 0:39:38.120
<v Speaker 1>around to the driver's side of a car, reaching into

0:39:38.200 --> 0:39:43.719
<v Speaker 1>the car to grab something. Okay, that's what's happened. He's

0:39:43.760 --> 0:39:48.760
<v Speaker 1>reaching into the car to seize something, and he grabbed

0:39:48.800 --> 0:39:52.320
<v Speaker 1>a knife. The officer who shot him had his hand

0:39:52.560 --> 0:39:57.520
<v Speaker 1>on Blake's back, holding his shirt, yelling at him to

0:39:57.560 --> 0:40:00.520
<v Speaker 1>show him his hands, show him his hands. He he

0:40:00.560 --> 0:40:04.359
<v Speaker 1>did everything he could do. The next level of this

0:40:04.440 --> 0:40:09.480
<v Speaker 1>would have been that officer sitting waiting to see if

0:40:09.800 --> 0:40:12.759
<v Speaker 1>Blake was going to stab him in the face or

0:40:12.760 --> 0:40:16.399
<v Speaker 1>the throat or the chest with the knife. Why are

0:40:16.400 --> 0:40:19.840
<v Speaker 1>you going for a knife when police have guns drawn

0:40:20.080 --> 0:40:25.200
<v Speaker 1>on you in broad daylight and are saying stop, stop, stop.

0:40:26.840 --> 0:40:31.640
<v Speaker 1>If police cannot fire under those circumstances, what we're saying

0:40:31.760 --> 0:40:35.840
<v Speaker 1>is police are not allowed to defend themselves against lethal force.

0:40:36.560 --> 0:40:40.520
<v Speaker 1>That's all. That's very straightforward. Is not a close call situation,

0:40:40.880 --> 0:40:43.640
<v Speaker 1>all right? If someone if police say show me your hands,

0:40:43.680 --> 0:40:46.200
<v Speaker 1>show me your hands, and you have a gun in

0:40:46.239 --> 0:40:50.239
<v Speaker 1>your waistband and it's on video, and you reach for

0:40:50.440 --> 0:40:53.480
<v Speaker 1>and grab your gun, they're going to shoot you. They're

0:40:53.520 --> 0:40:55.480
<v Speaker 1>not going to wait to see if you draw that

0:40:55.520 --> 0:41:01.640
<v Speaker 1>weapon and fire at them first. That act of refusing

0:41:01.680 --> 0:41:06.080
<v Speaker 1>commands and reaching for a weapon is enough under the

0:41:06.160 --> 0:41:09.520
<v Speaker 1>under the rules of force use you know, the rules

0:41:09.560 --> 0:41:16.960
<v Speaker 1>of application of force for people in the law enforcement community. Okay,

0:41:16.960 --> 0:41:19.680
<v Speaker 1>that is a that is a legitimate use of force situation.

0:41:21.160 --> 0:41:24.359
<v Speaker 1>And the way the way the Washington Post reported on

0:41:24.400 --> 0:41:28.640
<v Speaker 1>this was appalling. There's no surprise. What do they do

0:41:29.000 --> 0:41:31.920
<v Speaker 1>they they initially said the headline and then now they

0:41:32.000 --> 0:41:33.279
<v Speaker 1>deleted it. I was gonna read it to you, but

0:41:33.280 --> 0:41:36.279
<v Speaker 1>it was on Twitter. They deleted it. The headline was

0:41:37.120 --> 0:41:39.680
<v Speaker 1>no choice, something like no charges in the shooting of

0:41:39.760 --> 0:41:43.440
<v Speaker 1>Jacob Blake, an unarmed black man who was shot by

0:41:43.560 --> 0:41:48.160
<v Speaker 1>police seven times in the back. Long headline. Why was

0:41:48.239 --> 0:41:50.600
<v Speaker 1>that the head Why wasn't the headline just no charges?

0:41:50.640 --> 0:41:52.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean, if you were just doing a news story,

0:41:52.880 --> 0:41:55.440
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't it be no charges against police officer and Jacob

0:41:55.440 --> 0:42:01.000
<v Speaker 1>Blake shooting. Why did the garbage heat publication and known

0:42:01.040 --> 0:42:04.439
<v Speaker 1>as the Washington Post, why they make the decision three

0:42:04.480 --> 0:42:08.720
<v Speaker 1>people on the byeline, by the way, on a breaking

0:42:08.760 --> 0:42:10.440
<v Speaker 1>news story that was clearly going to get a lot

0:42:10.440 --> 0:42:14.680
<v Speaker 1>of attention like this, to say that Jacob Blake was

0:42:14.960 --> 0:42:19.120
<v Speaker 1>unarmed and that he was shot seven times in the back?

0:42:19.920 --> 0:42:22.920
<v Speaker 1>Are those now? Those are those are details that you

0:42:22.960 --> 0:42:24.960
<v Speaker 1>put in a news story? Or why is that of

0:42:25.040 --> 0:42:27.680
<v Speaker 1>the headline? Because what the Washington Post was trying to

0:42:27.719 --> 0:42:31.960
<v Speaker 1>do was say that this was a racist murder by

0:42:32.040 --> 0:42:37.719
<v Speaker 1>police and it's going unpunished. And what Lebron do we

0:42:37.760 --> 0:42:42.680
<v Speaker 1>have the Lebron audio mark? Yes, well this Lebron James

0:42:42.680 --> 0:42:48.120
<v Speaker 1>one of the most wealthy, famous, influential people on the planet.

0:42:49.160 --> 0:42:51.839
<v Speaker 1>This is how he reacts to the story publicly on

0:42:51.880 --> 0:42:55.040
<v Speaker 1>his social media accounts with tens of millions of followers. Played.

0:42:55.440 --> 0:42:57.399
<v Speaker 1>I'm smart enough to know that even though we're playing

0:42:57.400 --> 0:42:59.319
<v Speaker 1>a game of basketball, that there's so much more thats

0:42:59.360 --> 0:43:01.600
<v Speaker 1>going on in the world, so much more of us,

0:43:01.640 --> 0:43:04.680
<v Speaker 1>even more important than us playing the game um and

0:43:04.840 --> 0:43:07.760
<v Speaker 1>uh to hear what happened in Kenosha today was am

0:43:08.120 --> 0:43:11.080
<v Speaker 1>was a blow to the heart and to the gut. Um,

0:43:11.120 --> 0:43:13.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, not only to that community, um, you know,

0:43:13.960 --> 0:43:17.200
<v Speaker 1>but to us and to every um you know, I

0:43:17.200 --> 0:43:20.000
<v Speaker 1>guess you know black person that that that just has

0:43:20.360 --> 0:43:23.360
<v Speaker 1>been a part of this process and seeing these outcomes

0:43:23.400 --> 0:43:26.000
<v Speaker 1>for so long, and not only just in the black community,

0:43:26.000 --> 0:43:28.200
<v Speaker 1>but also in the white community as well. Who whoo

0:43:28.320 --> 0:43:30.680
<v Speaker 1>who will see uh, you know, moments like this happened

0:43:30.680 --> 0:43:33.040
<v Speaker 1>to us, um, and to happen to his family, and

0:43:33.040 --> 0:43:36.160
<v Speaker 1>to happen to the kid himself, to see that verdict,

0:43:36.160 --> 0:43:38.839
<v Speaker 1>It was just, Um, it was a blow to the gut,

0:43:38.840 --> 0:43:41.200
<v Speaker 1>Like I said, the blow to the heart. But we

0:43:41.280 --> 0:43:44.879
<v Speaker 1>got to continue to we got to continue to stay strong, um,

0:43:44.920 --> 0:43:47.560
<v Speaker 1>continue to to to believe in each other and continue

0:43:47.560 --> 0:43:49.399
<v Speaker 1>to push for the for the for the greater of change,

0:43:49.440 --> 0:43:52.319
<v Speaker 1>and for the greater of good. So here here you

0:43:52.400 --> 0:43:57.880
<v Speaker 1>have one of the most powerful, most influential, wealthiest people

0:43:57.880 --> 0:44:02.160
<v Speaker 1>in the world. Really, Lebron James has tens of millions

0:44:02.160 --> 0:44:04.959
<v Speaker 1>of followers on social media. I mean, he's he's known

0:44:05.000 --> 0:44:07.480
<v Speaker 1>pretty much everywhere where they have you know, internet access

0:44:07.480 --> 0:44:10.080
<v Speaker 1>and a TV they're gonna do. Lebron James is for

0:44:10.160 --> 0:44:12.800
<v Speaker 1>all intensive purposes. It's probably worth a billion dollars or

0:44:12.880 --> 0:44:16.279
<v Speaker 1>close to it already, Okay, for playing basketball, and this

0:44:16.320 --> 0:44:20.560
<v Speaker 1>guy is an international superstar. And what I want to

0:44:20.600 --> 0:44:25.520
<v Speaker 1>know is, yes, there is absolutely a need, there's absolutely

0:44:25.719 --> 0:44:30.560
<v Speaker 1>a role for sympathy for Jacob Blake's family. That's that's true.

0:44:30.640 --> 0:44:32.800
<v Speaker 1>That's always the case. You know, even if someone is

0:44:32.800 --> 0:44:35.120
<v Speaker 1>in a drunk driving accident that they cause and they die,

0:44:35.200 --> 0:44:39.200
<v Speaker 1>you feel bad for the family They've lost someone. Jacob Blake,

0:44:39.280 --> 0:44:41.360
<v Speaker 1>as we know, was shot. He was paralyzed, so he

0:44:41.400 --> 0:44:45.760
<v Speaker 1>did live, but he was paralyzed after being shot by

0:44:45.800 --> 0:44:50.120
<v Speaker 1>my police. And that has a that's obviously a lifelong burden.

0:44:50.239 --> 0:44:52.400
<v Speaker 1>It's a it's a it's a loss for that family

0:44:52.440 --> 0:44:57.279
<v Speaker 1>as well. That's something that is a tragedy for them.

0:44:57.320 --> 0:45:00.360
<v Speaker 1>But what's interesting to me about this is that Lebron

0:45:00.480 --> 0:45:07.359
<v Speaker 1>James clearly wants an attempt an attempted murder charge here, right,

0:45:07.400 --> 0:45:09.759
<v Speaker 1>I mean this this man was paralyzed. He he was

0:45:09.800 --> 0:45:13.439
<v Speaker 1>shot at seven times, and so Lebron wants this cop

0:45:13.520 --> 0:45:18.440
<v Speaker 1>to be treated like a racist would be killer. This

0:45:18.480 --> 0:45:22.440
<v Speaker 1>cop out of out of racism, tried to kill and

0:45:22.560 --> 0:45:28.480
<v Speaker 1>paralyzed Jacob Blake. Does that Does that sound like justice

0:45:28.520 --> 0:45:34.560
<v Speaker 1>to anyone? Does that sound like something that should happen here?

0:45:34.600 --> 0:45:37.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean, in what world is that a fair outcome?

0:45:39.239 --> 0:45:41.640
<v Speaker 1>You know? The Washington Post in their headlines said unarmed.

0:45:41.640 --> 0:45:43.960
<v Speaker 1>You know what the problem with that is, he wasn't unarmed,

0:45:44.400 --> 0:45:46.480
<v Speaker 1>So they had to delete the headline, They had to

0:45:46.520 --> 0:45:49.040
<v Speaker 1>walk that all thing back. So they're still at this

0:45:49.120 --> 0:45:54.760
<v Speaker 1>stage lying about this incident because they're playing to a narrative,

0:45:55.480 --> 0:45:59.120
<v Speaker 1>and that narrative is deeply destructive. And Lebron James is

0:45:59.120 --> 0:46:01.040
<v Speaker 1>playing to that narrative too, although I think, you know,

0:46:01.280 --> 0:46:03.960
<v Speaker 1>I think he believes it, and that is that police

0:46:04.040 --> 0:46:07.760
<v Speaker 1>are racist murderers of black men, and that the police

0:46:08.080 --> 0:46:12.120
<v Speaker 1>and the policing in America is deeply rooted in systemic

0:46:12.560 --> 0:46:21.200
<v Speaker 1>and vicious racism. And that's a really dangerous charge to

0:46:21.239 --> 0:46:26.160
<v Speaker 1>put out there, especially because it's not true. It's just

0:46:26.280 --> 0:46:30.480
<v Speaker 1>not true. You know, they keep finding these incidents like

0:46:30.520 --> 0:46:32.239
<v Speaker 1>this and they tell us that it's racism, and then

0:46:32.239 --> 0:46:34.000
<v Speaker 1>we see it and we learn more about it. Whether

0:46:34.040 --> 0:46:36.319
<v Speaker 1>it's what happened in Ferguson, Missouri, I'm not saying there's

0:46:36.360 --> 0:46:38.640
<v Speaker 1>no racism. Of course, I'm not saying there are no

0:46:38.719 --> 0:46:43.759
<v Speaker 1>cops who are murderers. Of course there are. But you know,

0:46:43.800 --> 0:46:46.920
<v Speaker 1>to treat all cops as are they're the bad guys,

0:46:47.800 --> 0:46:50.120
<v Speaker 1>and then to hold up these incidents where the comps

0:46:50.160 --> 0:46:53.160
<v Speaker 1>aren't even doing anything wrong. It's a tragedy, but it's

0:46:53.160 --> 0:46:59.160
<v Speaker 1>not a crime. That's irresponsible, it's reckless, it's destructive. And

0:46:59.239 --> 0:47:01.239
<v Speaker 1>the Washington Post, of course, the Democrats are all a

0:47:01.280 --> 0:47:04.359
<v Speaker 1>part of this. Why would the Washington Post get that's

0:47:04.400 --> 0:47:06.400
<v Speaker 1>such a key detail. He wasn't unarmed. The guy had

0:47:06.400 --> 0:47:08.960
<v Speaker 1>a knife. It's on video and the district attorney in

0:47:09.000 --> 0:47:12.440
<v Speaker 1>Kenosha saw it. It's all very clear. He went for

0:47:12.480 --> 0:47:16.680
<v Speaker 1>a knife. You can't do that. You can't do it,

0:47:17.480 --> 0:47:19.080
<v Speaker 1>or what are we gonna do? Tell cops that they

0:47:19.120 --> 0:47:20.920
<v Speaker 1>have to get you know, stabbed in the neck before

0:47:20.920 --> 0:47:23.240
<v Speaker 1>they can use their service weapon and defense of themselves.

0:47:24.280 --> 0:47:29.560
<v Speaker 1>At what phase are cops allowed to actually take action

0:47:29.640 --> 0:47:31.600
<v Speaker 1>so that they get to go home to their families

0:47:31.600 --> 0:47:33.839
<v Speaker 1>and there you know, we're talking to all human beings here.

0:47:33.880 --> 0:47:35.680
<v Speaker 1>They people will love them, people will care about them.

0:47:37.680 --> 0:47:41.440
<v Speaker 1>But we have police to protect all of us, to

0:47:41.520 --> 0:47:45.480
<v Speaker 1>protect you. And me. And there are very important laws

0:47:45.520 --> 0:47:50.200
<v Speaker 1>and rules and regulations and use of force escalation that

0:47:50.360 --> 0:47:54.200
<v Speaker 1>is taught and that is necessary for law enforcement. And

0:47:54.360 --> 0:47:59.439
<v Speaker 1>what happened here was all within the scope of this

0:47:59.560 --> 0:48:04.719
<v Speaker 1>office lawful duties. But that that. But see, they lie

0:48:04.719 --> 0:48:06.879
<v Speaker 1>about it because they're so desperate. The Washington Post lies.

0:48:06.960 --> 0:48:08.879
<v Speaker 1>But they deleted the tweet. They've admitted they said, oh,

0:48:08.880 --> 0:48:11.880
<v Speaker 1>we have a correction. The family says he was unarmed,

0:48:11.920 --> 0:48:14.400
<v Speaker 1>they said on their correction, But the DA and the

0:48:14.480 --> 0:48:17.440
<v Speaker 1>video says that he actually was grabbing a knife. Oh,

0:48:17.480 --> 0:48:20.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry. So the family lawyer, Now that's that's how

0:48:20.600 --> 0:48:24.200
<v Speaker 1>they do reporting. Well, this person's family lawyer says, you

0:48:24.239 --> 0:48:26.200
<v Speaker 1>know that that they were innocent of the charge. So

0:48:26.239 --> 0:48:28.520
<v Speaker 1>we're our headline is going to say innocent of a charge.

0:48:29.880 --> 0:48:33.279
<v Speaker 1>That's not how it works, although it is for Democrats

0:48:33.280 --> 0:48:36.319
<v Speaker 1>and for leftists. But here's the other here's the other issue.

0:48:36.320 --> 0:48:39.719
<v Speaker 1>Here's the bigger part of this. Democrats are going to

0:48:39.760 --> 0:48:41.680
<v Speaker 1>do a lot more of this going ahead. Now they

0:48:41.719 --> 0:48:45.839
<v Speaker 1>feel emboldened to do this. They're going to build upon

0:48:46.640 --> 0:48:49.760
<v Speaker 1>and try to hammer home this narrative of cops are racist,

0:48:49.920 --> 0:48:52.680
<v Speaker 1>law enforcement is racist, and therefore we have to do

0:48:52.880 --> 0:48:56.200
<v Speaker 1>things to hurt law enforcement, and we have to offer

0:48:56.320 --> 0:49:01.680
<v Speaker 1>up sacrifices of law enforcement officers who will be ruined,

0:49:02.560 --> 0:49:05.600
<v Speaker 1>who will be sent to prison, who of their lives

0:49:05.920 --> 0:49:07.960
<v Speaker 1>won't be able to see their families, and be treated

0:49:08.000 --> 0:49:13.040
<v Speaker 1>like murderers, be treated like racists, in order to assuage

0:49:13.160 --> 0:49:17.239
<v Speaker 1>the anger of the Democrat base, and in order to

0:49:17.280 --> 0:49:20.480
<v Speaker 1>play into this narrative of our police officers as evil, bad,

0:49:20.640 --> 0:49:24.879
<v Speaker 1>racist people, which is a lie. I don't care how

0:49:24.880 --> 0:49:27.040
<v Speaker 1>often Lebron James says it. I don't care how many

0:49:27.040 --> 0:49:29.400
<v Speaker 1>celebrities say it. I don't care how much the Democrats

0:49:29.440 --> 0:49:35.160
<v Speaker 1>pander on this issue. It's just not true. The rare

0:49:35.280 --> 0:49:40.440
<v Speaker 1>and occasional criminal and or racist police officer in America

0:49:40.840 --> 0:49:45.080
<v Speaker 1>out of hundreds of thousands of law enforcement officers across

0:49:45.120 --> 0:49:49.479
<v Speaker 1>the country is not It is not in any way

0:49:50.000 --> 0:49:54.000
<v Speaker 1>a fair basis form aligning all law enforcement as racist,

0:49:54.160 --> 0:49:57.000
<v Speaker 1>and that is what the Democrats do. It is reckless
