Speaker 1: No retreat, No surrender, My friends. If there was ever
Speaker 1: a time to start watching some of my favorite classic
Speaker 1: action and adventure movies, now is that time. Because you
Speaker 1: need to steal your courage, friends, You need to get
Speaker 1: ready to hold the line. Democrats unfortunately, have managed and
Speaker 1: I don't even want to spend too much of our
Speaker 1: time today getting into the Oh but the fraud, Oh
Speaker 1: but they changed the rules. Yeah, we know, but we
Speaker 1: have to deal with where we are in this battle.
Speaker 1: There's only so much that we can do when it
Speaker 1: comes to pointing out the tricks, the cheating, the fraud
Speaker 1: of the other side. We still have to fight within
Speaker 1: the system. We still have to beat them on the
Speaker 1: playing field, somehow, some way, and it's not going to
Speaker 1: be easy. Right now, you're looking at a Senate now
Speaker 1: to be in the hands most likely unless something happens,
Speaker 1: and you're looking at a Senate that's going to be
Speaker 1: in the hands of the Democrats, a house in the
Speaker 1: hands of Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden and Kamala Harris
Speaker 1: will be the president and vice president respectively. This is
Speaker 1: a moment when we have to think about what do
Speaker 1: we do next, and we also have to know what
Speaker 1: we didn't do or what wasn't done in our name
Speaker 1: the right way this time around, so we don't repeat
Speaker 1: that error. Why did Mitch McConnell block two thousand dollars
Speaker 1: checks going to Americans under a certain income threshold to
Speaker 1: help them during this pandemic? What was the idea behind them?
Speaker 1: It wasn't servative enough. Well, it's not conservative for the
Speaker 1: United States Senate to sit around and do nothing while
Speaker 1: government authorities across the country violate the constitution, institute unconstitutional lockdowns,
Speaker 1: take tyrannical and dictatorial power in their hands, shut down
Speaker 1: businesses and tell people that they're not allowed to make
Speaker 1: a living anymore, tell them they can't see loved ones,
Speaker 1: tell them they have to wear a mask. All this stuff,
Speaker 1: And what did the Senate do? Well, as we know,
Speaker 1: the United States Congress holds the purse strings that is there,
Speaker 1: that is their prerogative, that is their power, and they
Speaker 1: could have done a lot to help, and they were
Speaker 1: doing something to help. We had the PPP, We had
Speaker 1: those six hundred dollar checks that went out to people,
Speaker 1: But why not with the Senate in the balance, be
Speaker 1: the ones to say, you know what, we'll figure this
Speaker 1: out later. We're going to get the checks the American people. Now,
Speaker 1: we'll figure out how to pay for this down the line.
Speaker 1: But putting Democrats in charge, you know what we've managed
Speaker 1: to do here lose the battle as well as the
Speaker 1: war over the United States Senate. And that means that
Speaker 1: you're going to have two thousand dollars checks going to Americans,
Speaker 1: but guess what, Democrats are going to be the ones
Speaker 1: taking credit for it. So this principle stand was the
Speaker 1: equivalent of charging the machine gun ness without a plan,
Speaker 1: and we got wasted. That's what Mitch McConnell came up with.
Speaker 1: He has had his moments, friends, He is good about
Speaker 1: the judicial machinery. We've gotten a lot of judges through.
Speaker 1: He has held the line on those issues. But on
Speaker 1: political strategy, this was disastrous, disastrous, and there is plenty
Speaker 1: of blame to go around. I don't want to focus
Speaker 1: too much of our time and attention on that because
Speaker 1: I know that and become just a circular firing squad
Speaker 1: for Republicans, and but we do need to understand what
Speaker 1: happened here. Kelly Leffler has no political skill or talent
Speaker 1: to anyone who's being an honest observer, but she's rich
Speaker 1: and connected and good at fundraising, and that was what
Speaker 1: got her into the position to get appointed as a
Speaker 1: United States Senator. And Perdue is an entirely replaceable GOP
Speaker 1: machine politician as well. At least he had a little
Speaker 1: bit more, a little bit more juice in his own state,
Speaker 1: in the Peach State, as it were, But not enough,
Speaker 1: not enough. President Trump campaigned for these candidates, He did
Speaker 1: two rallies for these candidates. He did what he could
Speaker 1: to push them over the finish line. Wasn't enough, wasn't enough.
Speaker 1: As I've talked to you now, there's still the chance,
Speaker 1: you know, they're they're looking at additional votes, and there's
Speaker 1: recount territory we're talking about here with Purdue. But Warnock
Speaker 1: looks like he's got this thing. Kelly Leffler likely defeated
Speaker 1: unless something crazy happens. And we also need to take
Speaker 1: into account what's been going on in recent weeks where
Speaker 1: we keep getting told just wait, it's coming, just wait,
Speaker 1: it's going to turn around, and a dozen't and it doesn't.
Speaker 1: This is real talk, friends. We are heading into a
Speaker 1: two year period where now the pendulum has swung and
Speaker 1: it's not going to a good place for those of
Speaker 1: us who believe in constitutional governance, in individual liberty, in
Speaker 1: personal freedom. In America first love of this country, a
Speaker 1: feeling of unity and bombed with the American people. No,
Speaker 1: we're going back to a government is globalist, internationalist, collectivist, authoritarian, woke, Yes, socialist.
Speaker 1: But what we're seeing increasingly is that Americans aren't scared
Speaker 1: of socialism, at least not enough of us right now.
Speaker 1: We're in that phase because we're a very rich country.
Speaker 1: Or we think socialism is just you get free stuff.
Speaker 1: You're just gonna keep getting free stuff. There's an endless
Speaker 1: amount of that free stuff. And while that's not true,
Speaker 1: it works for people who want to be in power.
Speaker 1: When you and I say socialism, there are a lot
Speaker 1: of Americans and states like Georgia who say, well, does
Speaker 1: that just mean I get free healthcare and my kids
Speaker 1: go to college for free? That sounds pretty good to
Speaker 1: me because they get the benefits up front and the
Speaker 1: pain comes later. And so much of life, so much
Speaker 1: of our existence is really the battle between short term
Speaker 1: and long term gratification. We want to have a happy life,
Speaker 1: want to get what you want in life and achieve
Speaker 1: your dreams. One mantra, one thing that you can do
Speaker 1: more than almost anything else that will put you in
Speaker 1: the place to get what you want personally, professionally, everything else.
Speaker 1: Think long term, Think strategically, long term gratification. Don't eat
Speaker 1: the first stale, crumbly donut that's put in front of you.
Speaker 1: Wait for the two fresh ones to come out of
Speaker 1: the oven that are going to be glistening with that
Speaker 1: frosting and perfectly cooked. Right, That's one of the biggest
Speaker 1: challenges we all have in life, and in socialism you
Speaker 1: get you get nothing but endless, free, but crumbly donuts
Speaker 1: that have been sitting there for who knows how long
Speaker 1: because you're not thinking about what else will come out
Speaker 1: of the oven. You don't care. That's the way this
Speaker 1: has been set up for the American people. We are
Speaker 1: not winning this battle. Now. You would send me but
Speaker 1: but buck Bernie Sanders didn't didn't win. The primarian is
Speaker 1: not the president. Now. Isn't that a rejection of socialism? Now?
Speaker 1: This is all just about the messaging. They're going to
Speaker 1: pursue many of the same policies, just at a slightly
Speaker 1: slower pace that Bernie Sanders would have. But it just
Speaker 1: they call themselves democrats. You see, they don't tell you
Speaker 1: openly and honestly what they're really planning to do. And
Speaker 1: by the time everyone figures it out, it's too late.
Speaker 1: They've already done it. What are you going to do then, now,
Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell's decision to block two thousand dollar checks for
Speaker 1: Americans has only done one thing, and hasn't even stopped
Speaker 1: Americans from getting those checks. And if you're so concerned
Speaker 1: about the debt and the deficit, and let's remember we
Speaker 1: haven't heard about that for four years, we're gonna start
Speaker 1: talking about it now. But until people feel the pain
Speaker 1: of that, until they understand what it means to the currency,
Speaker 1: to the value of the dollar, to your purchasing power
Speaker 1: in the global marketplace, until people really understand that, and
Speaker 1: who knows when that will happen, it just seems like
Speaker 1: it's all free funny money. Mitch McConnell picked a very
Speaker 1: strange time to take a stand for this. Then his
Speaker 1: leadership is over and I don't know if he'll ever
Speaker 1: be sent a majority leader again. I don't think he
Speaker 1: should be. This was an unbelievable blunder, the focus on
Speaker 1: the cheating in Georgia. And I'm going to say this,
Speaker 1: I'm going to speak to you always honestly from the heart.
Speaker 1: The focus on the cheating from the Trump campaign in
Speaker 1: the last few weeks I think was too much, because
Speaker 1: are we actually gonna are we working to get the
Speaker 1: message out there to drive up votes, or are we
Speaker 1: gonna get are we gonna get bogged down in the
Speaker 1: continued oh but they cheated in the election rhetoric. And
Speaker 1: I'm just speaking purely about what work, don't I don't
Speaker 1: need to hear about Oh but it's, you know, the
Speaker 1: principle of the thing. Yeah, We've been talking about the
Speaker 1: principle of the cheating in Georgia for now two months.
Speaker 1: And I told you that we had to get ready
Speaker 1: for January fifth, and that this was going to come
Speaker 1: up on us. And I was worried. Are those of
Speaker 1: you who listening to the show, Yes, I've been worried
Speaker 1: that we're gonna lose these Senate seats from the beginning.
Speaker 1: I mean, ever since the November election, I thought, hold
Speaker 1: on a second, we got a problem in Georgia as well,
Speaker 1: beyond what just happened at the presidential presidential level, and
Speaker 1: you know this Raffensburger feud with Trump and all this stuff.
Speaker 1: We needed a united and competent GOP in Georgia and
Speaker 1: we did not have it. So I'm not here to
Speaker 1: tell you to despair. I'm not here to tell you that,
Speaker 1: oh all is lost, because it's not. It's not. Just
Speaker 1: remember in two thousand and eight they were writing the
Speaker 1: GOP's obituary, and then in two thousand and ten we
Speaker 1: got what six Senate seats I can't even remember how many,
Speaker 1: a huge red wave of House seats the Tea Party,
Speaker 1: and that's what we need to go to. Now. I'm
Speaker 1: not sitting here oh boo hoo, woe is Whoe is America? No,
Speaker 1: we're learning, we're learning a tough lesson here. The other
Speaker 1: side is ruthless. They're unscrupulous, and they want power, and
Speaker 1: they will wield power, and they'll do it in such
Speaker 1: a way they hope we can never get it back.
Speaker 1: It is our job, as our duty to this country,
Speaker 1: to fight and to stop them from achieving those goals.
Speaker 1: It's our duty to make sure that we hold the
Speaker 1: line for what is most precious in this country and
Speaker 1: use what we can within the system, everything that we
Speaker 1: can to slow them down. That's right, they gave us
Speaker 1: a lesson for four years. In the extremes they will
Speaker 1: go to to thwart the Trump agenda, and unfortunately they
Speaker 1: were successful in some key areas well. Let's learn. One
Speaker 1: of my favorite things to do is to learn from
Speaker 1: an enemy, learn from an opponent, take their moves, and
Speaker 1: use them against them. That's what we need to do now,
Speaker 1: all out, stimy, stumble, hobble, slow it down, sabotage whatever
Speaker 1: we have to do to stop them from turning this
Speaker 1: country into a one party state where you exist effectively
Speaker 1: at the whim and will of government bureaucrats, where nothing
Speaker 1: is sacred anymore. You have no right that they can't
Speaker 1: infringe on. And we see all this with COVID. That's
Speaker 1: what's really pulled, pulled off the mask, if you will.
Speaker 1: What their real long term plan is is to tell
Speaker 1: you that they can make you do anything they want.
Speaker 1: They don't have to pass legislation to do it. We
Speaker 1: must come up with a way to unify and fight
Speaker 1: back against them. And I hope this show is a
Speaker 1: part of this. That will be my mission every day.
Speaker 1: This is where we are friends. So watch Braveheart, watch
Speaker 1: three hundred, watch a movie, whatever it is for you
Speaker 1: that gets you fired up, Think about the journeys of
Speaker 1: the past, and understand that you, if you want to
Speaker 1: be a part of this fight now, are going to
Speaker 1: have to get ready to play some serious defense. It's
Speaker 1: only going to be two years. I am very confident
Speaker 1: about these mid terms, but this is where we are
Speaker 1: dig in. Shields up, shields high. Thanks for listening to
Speaker 1: The Buck Sexton Show podcast. Get the latest news and
Speaker 1: information from Buck by heading to Bucksexton dot com. It's
Speaker 1: the height of hypocrisy for people who claim to be
Speaker 1: the champions of rights for women to deny the very
Speaker 1: biological existence of women. And this recent rule change at
Speaker 1: the House just actually voted and passed on today that
Speaker 1: you were talking about removing references to mothers and fathers,
Speaker 1: brothers and sisters, sons and daughters from congressional rules and administration.
Speaker 1: It's mind blowing because it shows just how out of
Speaker 1: touch with reality and the struggles of everyday Americans. People
Speaker 1: in Congress are But also it shows that, you know,
Speaker 1: their first act as this new Congress could have been
Speaker 1: to make sure that elderly Americans are able to get
Speaker 1: the COVID vaccine now alongside frontline healthcare workers elderly Americans
Speaker 1: who have the highest mortality rates from this virus. But
Speaker 1: instead of doing something that could actually help save people's lives,
Speaker 1: they're choosing instead to say, well, you can't say mother
Speaker 1: or father in any of this congressional language. It's it's astounding.
Speaker 1: That's a very important point that a Democrat tel Telsea Gabbard,
Speaker 1: who is wrong on politics but clearly a good person,
Speaker 1: clearly a person of some decency in character, wrong about
Speaker 1: a lot, hates Trump. I get it, but still a
Speaker 1: good still a reasonable you know, a reasonable person on
Speaker 1: some things, and I think at her core someone that
Speaker 1: you can at least have a real conversation with. Then
Speaker 1: she's not you know why the left has always hated
Speaker 1: her because she doesn't disparage Republican she doesn't despise them.
Speaker 1: She disagrees with them, but she doesn't think if you
Speaker 1: voted for Donald Trump in the past, you're beneath contempt.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's in part because She served her country in
Speaker 1: the military and has greater ideals and aspirations beyond just
Speaker 1: the partisan fight. As I've said, I think she's wrong
Speaker 1: on some things, but on this she's making a key point.
Speaker 1: People are dying in large numbers from COVID nineteen. There's
Speaker 1: a need for urgent government action. The vaccine rollout at
Speaker 1: many different levels is too slow and is preposterous. All right,
Speaker 1: what they're doing here throwing vaccine out in the trash
Speaker 1: sometimes because they can't give it to people who aren't
Speaker 1: the people they're supposed to give it to. But they've
Speaker 1: already thought out some of it, and so for bureaucratic
Speaker 1: reasons that they can't get it to, you know, the
Speaker 1: exact right group, so they give it to no one.
Speaker 1: They throw it out. Think about that that's actually happening.
Speaker 1: And while that's going on, instead of taking urgent action
Speaker 1: to get this to people, and don't look, I'm talking
Speaker 1: about seniors should get the vaccine. The vaccine is less
Speaker 1: dangerous for seniors than the virus is. Okay, that's clear.
Speaker 1: If you're a senior listening this, please, I mean, it's
Speaker 1: it's up to you, but I would implore you even
Speaker 1: the people that have been like me, that have been
Speaker 1: talking about the craziness of the COVID mask shaming, lockdown lunatics.
Speaker 1: All of us are saying, well, well, if you're you know,
Speaker 1: if you're over sixty, over sixty five, and you can
Speaker 1: get this vaccine, you know, that may be the difference
Speaker 1: between you getting hospitalized with this and you're living another
Speaker 1: you know, twenty twenty five, thirty years happily, healthily. So
Speaker 1: please give it, give it some real consideration. But what
Speaker 1: Tolsi is saying here is that they're talking about eliminating
Speaker 1: mother and father from all congressional doctor you can't say
Speaker 1: mother and father. You gotta have more gender inclusive language. Now,
Speaker 1: I know, on the one hand this is idiotic and
Speaker 1: just worthy of mockery, but it's also part of a
Speaker 1: mindset while we sit here and talk about and Republicans
Speaker 1: through this all the time. Legislation, what can we do,
Speaker 1: what should the tax code be? All these things? You
Speaker 1: know what they do. They change the rules of society,
Speaker 1: They change the culture, that change the way we're allowed
Speaker 1: to speak, because that submission feeds into all the other policies,
Speaker 1: all the other things they're trying to do. They know
Speaker 1: that if they can get us to talk about issues
Speaker 1: a certain way, they can also get enough of us
Speaker 1: to agree with them on those issues. This degendering of
Speaker 1: language is insane, but there's a reason they're doing it.
Speaker 1: This is all part of a plan, and we're about
Speaker 1: to see this on steroids for the next two years.
Speaker 1: You're in the Freedom Hut. This is the Buck Sexton
Speaker 1: Show podcast. For more buck head to Bucksexton dot com
Speaker 1: and remember to subscribe to the podcast. If you're Mike Pence,
Speaker 1: who has a long history in Washington and as a governor,
Speaker 1: if you're gonna enable the disease of Trump, the lies,
Speaker 1: the attempt to steal an election, to undermine democracy, then
Speaker 1: history is going to judge you very harshly, and you
Speaker 1: don't deserve any future and electoral politics, There's no two
Speaker 1: ways about it. He's vice president of the United States.
Speaker 1: He has a responsibility to the integrity of that office,
Speaker 1: to the integrity of himself. What he's been engaged in
Speaker 1: is a hedge, is a way to tack back and
Speaker 1: forth to stay in Donald Trump's a good favor. That's
Speaker 1: a decision he's made as an individual, and so he'll
Speaker 1: he'll have to be judged for that, but it's certainly
Speaker 1: not in keeping with everything that he claims to stand
Speaker 1: for as a human being and as a politician, because
Speaker 1: there's simply no excuse for trying to thwart the will
Speaker 1: of voters. It is undemocratic. Give me a break, all right,
Speaker 1: We can we stop with all the oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: the tyrant the Constitution. These people have neither read nor
Speaker 1: care about the Constitution, and they had no problem using
Speaker 1: the media and the federal government, the dj the FBI,
Speaker 1: the intelligence community as a weapon against Trump for four
Speaker 1: years with the Russia collusion line that they were all
Speaker 1: active participants in and the initial creatures of. But I
Speaker 1: also need to tell you this, and this is just
Speaker 1: very clear. Vice President Pence is not going to give
Speaker 1: the election to try He's already told them he doesn't
Speaker 1: have the authority to do this, and he's not going
Speaker 1: to do this. That's not going to happen. So, and
Speaker 1: I understand there's there's probably some people today and that
Speaker 1: you're gonna hear. You know, I would ask that you,
Speaker 1: I would ask that you pay attention to who who
Speaker 1: respects you enough to speak honestly to you about all
Speaker 1: of us who respects you enough to speak honestly and
Speaker 1: who panders because we're all we're all bothered right now.
Speaker 1: We're all very disappointed, very I'm disappointed for the country.
Speaker 1: I'm disappointed for the Democrats because I know they think
Speaker 1: that this circumstance that this government will be better, and
Speaker 1: in some ways, for their interests, they would think it is.
Speaker 1: But overall we're going to be less free, less prosperous,
Speaker 1: and less optimistic because of the decisions that have been
Speaker 1: made in the last three months by voters. And now
Speaker 1: I know, fraud, cheating, changing the rules, I understand that.
Speaker 1: But you know, at some point, if you've you know,
Speaker 1: if you've lost a football game because they paid off
Speaker 1: the refs, you can only talk about it for so
Speaker 1: long before you got to say, Okay, well, how do
Speaker 1: we stop that from happening in the next football game,
Speaker 1: and how do we win that game? And we're getting
Speaker 1: very close to that point. Do it, Mike. This is
Speaker 1: a time for extreme courage. Trump says in a tweet.
Speaker 1: He's saying as he's saying that he wants Mike Pence
Speaker 1: to effectively overturn this whole thing. It's it's not gonna
Speaker 1: I keep telling you it's just not gonna happen, the
Speaker 1: same way that I've been saying that you're going to
Speaker 1: deal with a presidency of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
Speaker 1: I'm here to tell you the truth, and the truth
Speaker 1: on this situation is that Mike Pence will not do this.
Speaker 1: He cannot and will not. Now I understand Trump, I
Speaker 1: think is trying to mobilize everybody for what's coming, and
Speaker 1: he wants to show that he will fight with everything
Speaker 1: he has. He wants to show that even if he
Speaker 1: knows that this is a this is a match, this
Speaker 1: is a boxing match where we're about to we're about
Speaker 1: to lose on points. He is going to go down,
Speaker 1: throw and every punch he's got, and he's going to
Speaker 1: stay in this until the bell rings. I respect that,
Speaker 1: and I could appreciate that, But they've out they've out
Speaker 1: pointed us so to speak up this up to this phase,
Speaker 1: and we don't have enough time to make it up
Speaker 1: in this election. We just don't. We just don't. If
Speaker 1: you think I'm missing something, if you think that there's
Speaker 1: some aspect of this I'm not seeing, please let me know.
Speaker 1: I have one thing I love about this about this
Speaker 1: audience is I have learned so much now going on
Speaker 1: almost ten years, I've learned so much from the people
Speaker 1: who listened to this show. I still remember when some
Speaker 1: of you in twenty people are still listening today and
Speaker 1: many of you now have been listening to my radio
Speaker 1: show for eight years, nine years. But I remember when
Speaker 1: some of you were telling me, hey, Trump early in
Speaker 1: the primary, he's got something, you know, He's he's coming
Speaker 1: with something that people haven't seen before. And you were right.
Speaker 1: So if I'm if I'm in some way not seeing
Speaker 1: the may tricks clearly here by all means let me know,
Speaker 1: because I exist. I do this show every day to
Speaker 1: serve you, to inform and entertain all of you listening
Speaker 1: all across the country, hundreds of thousands of you, and
Speaker 1: it means a lot. But it also means that I
Speaker 1: have to share with you my honest feelings every day.
Speaker 1: I owe that to you. And you know, today is
Speaker 1: one of these days where we have to just rally.
Speaker 1: I know we have taken a punch and it stinks,
Speaker 1: and there are better words for it, but I can't
Speaker 1: say them on radio. That is where the situation is.
Speaker 1: So I appreciate that are all these patriots rallying today
Speaker 1: in DC, and this is what I would say, And
Speaker 1: you know there include friends of my many friends of
Speaker 1: minor down there. What I would say about this is
Speaker 1: that there is a need right now for unity in
Speaker 1: opposition to what's happening. We need to come together. We
Speaker 1: need to be in a place, we need to be
Speaker 1: in a position where we understand what we're trying to
Speaker 1: achieve and what we're trying to thwart. And a part
Speaker 1: of this is going to be I want good faith
Speaker 1: Republicans from all across the spectrum, even people that were
Speaker 1: a little not never Trumpers who are just their Democrats,
Speaker 1: but people that were a little iffy on Trump or whatever.
Speaker 1: We all need to be in the same foxhol now.
Speaker 1: We all need to come together on this one and
Speaker 1: see what we're up against. Because the Democrats, they are
Speaker 1: gonna they're gonna spend two years trying to steamrollers. You
Speaker 1: know what I think their first move is going to be,
Speaker 1: and you can mark this one down. They're going to
Speaker 1: eliminate the filibuster. You know what they're gonna do. They're
Speaker 1: going to eliminate the filibuster to pass two thousand dollars
Speaker 1: stimulus checks or to pass a national fifteen dollar minimum wage.
Speaker 1: That's what they're gonna do. Something that is generally popular
Speaker 1: but that Republicans haven't been willing to go along with,
Speaker 1: or that Republicans have objections too, and they're gonna say, see,
Speaker 1: we got rid of the filibuster. We did this for you, America.
Speaker 1: How do you like those two thousand dollars checks? How
Speaker 1: do you like that fifteen dollars minimum rate? Minimum wage increase?
Speaker 1: And then as Republicans are all but there's a thing
Speaker 1: tank that wrote a study about the robot minimum wage.
Speaker 1: We're gonna do what we always do. Then they're gonna
Speaker 1: roll out, Oh yeah, now that filibuster thing's gone, how
Speaker 1: about we do an amnesty vote. And we're not gonna
Speaker 1: do full scale amnesty. Let's do it incrementally. Let's let's
Speaker 1: do let's do DACA. Come on, we'll get to fifty
Speaker 1: fifty on DACA. Kamala gets to be the tiebreaker. You
Speaker 1: don't think that that's think of the of the political
Speaker 1: boost that Kamala Harris gets if she is the tie
Speaker 1: breaking vote in the Senate for the passage of a
Speaker 1: limited amnesty that will grant permanent status, legal status two
Speaker 1: million of so called dreamers, illegal aliens who allegedly came
Speaker 1: here at a certain age depending on you know, what
Speaker 1: the statutes say. Think about that. That's going to be
Speaker 1: part of the whole narrative, isn't it. Kamala Harris, so
Speaker 1: it's Biden gets to sign it. Kamala Harris gets to
Speaker 1: be the tie breaking vote. We need to We need
Speaker 1: to get this going. Friends. There is no Krack in
Speaker 1: coming to attack our enemies. And a fact, I remember
Speaker 1: the Kracking getting unleashed, you know, didn't work out. Remember
Speaker 1: that that's one thing about it, or at least to
Speaker 1: the kracking. The problem with it is that, yeah, the
Speaker 1: Krack had lost. We don't even have one. So one
Speaker 1: thing that I will tell you is that you're also
Speaker 1: going to see who really has ideas and knowledge and
Speaker 1: understanding of these issues, and who was just hanging on
Speaker 1: Trump's coattails for the last four years, had nothing to add,
Speaker 1: had nothing to contribute really to the national conversation, but
Speaker 1: saw it all as just a case of individual opportunism.
Speaker 1: There are a lot of them in conservative media. I
Speaker 1: want you to understand this. There are other people that
Speaker 1: have always stood for things that matter to the country
Speaker 1: and can articulate them at will be worthwhile in opposition,
Speaker 1: because just trying to repeat whatever they think is going
Speaker 1: to be the most pleasing to Trump. That's not going
Speaker 1: to work anymore. When we are out of power and
Speaker 1: an opposition, we need more than that. We need to
Speaker 1: win on the battlefield of ideas, and that means also
Speaker 1: winning the culture, and it means finding common ground on
Speaker 1: these issues with independence where we can. It means mobilizing
Speaker 1: a populist conservative coalition to take back power from these
Speaker 1: lunatic libs. That's where we have to go. Now we
Speaker 1: have to build it. We have to construct it. I
Speaker 1: wish I could say it was already there. I wish
Speaker 1: I could point to the house on the hill and
Speaker 1: say there we are, We're all set. No, now we
Speaker 1: have to go out into the woods and hack down
Speaker 1: the trees and build it from scratch. That's the feeling,
Speaker 1: at least of where we are at this moment in time.
Speaker 1: But embrace it. It's a fight worth having. You're in
Speaker 1: the freedom hunt. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast.
Speaker 1: Get more from Buck by following him on social media
Speaker 1: at Buck Sexton on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Do you
Speaker 1: think you'd get fair treatment from CNN if your brother
Speaker 1: had a primetime show on that channel. Well, ifs and
Speaker 1: butts were candy and nuts, every day would be Christmas.
Speaker 1: But you know, I think it's pretty clear some of
Speaker 1: these networks obviously they have agendas. They're doing narratives. They're
Speaker 1: not trying to report facts anymore. It's all about spinning
Speaker 1: whatever narrative they think can get ratings. And that's just
Speaker 1: the reality of the situation. So it doesn't impact me.
Speaker 1: We're going to continue keeping our eye on the ball
Speaker 1: and working as hard as we can and deliver results.
Speaker 1: And results have been delivered. Let's focus on some positives here,
Speaker 1: the lockdown Libs, the Democrat left. They have been wrong
Speaker 1: on this on how to handle COVID. And I know
Speaker 1: you'd say, well, but Buck, look at how the elections
Speaker 1: are going. Yeah, but it's really just Trump and Georgia
Speaker 1: that we have to to mourn at this point. As
Speaker 1: elections go, it's really just those And I don't know
Speaker 1: that's a lot. I'm not saying it's it's it's minor.
Speaker 1: But the House Republicans actually picked up seats and state
Speaker 1: legislatures did well. You know, there is some there's some
Speaker 1: reason for limited optimism about that. I know if we
Speaker 1: had if we had held the Senate, everything would have
Speaker 1: felt like it was okay. But I wouldn't say okay,
Speaker 1: but it would have felt better, Folks. I'm trying to
Speaker 1: find silver linings, you know what I'm saying. But still,
Speaker 1: but Florida is one big silver lining because you have
Speaker 1: a governor who has defied the consensus. You have a
Speaker 1: governor who has refused to go and bend the knee
Speaker 1: to the Fauciites. That guy Fauci is a complete jackass,
Speaker 1: and it's disgusting what he's done in the country. He
Speaker 1: should be ashamed of himself. He's not. He never will be.
Speaker 1: And that's important for everybody to know it. It doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: There will never come a time when the people who
Speaker 1: advocated for all of this sit back and say, you
Speaker 1: know what, we were wrong. You know what, we didn't
Speaker 1: have to lock down the country. After all, that didn't
Speaker 1: really give us any benefit and it caused a lot
Speaker 1: of drawbacks for us, So we're sorry. Unfortunately, I could
Speaker 1: sit here and tell you that's never gonna happen. It
Speaker 1: doesn't matter what the data shows doesn't matter what the
Speaker 1: eventual epidemiological advances are, where we have a better understanding
Speaker 1: of how really the virus spreads, meaning how quickly, how easily.
Speaker 1: We have some general numbers about all that. But all right,
Speaker 1: you know, how well how well do notice? You can't
Speaker 1: even ask this question. If I say how well do
Speaker 1: masks work? People start screaming masks work? Okay? How well?
Speaker 1: I can tell you how well a vaccine works based
Speaker 1: on large controlled trials, you know, different acts ninety five
Speaker 1: ninety four percent effective for COVID nineteen though that's real data.
Speaker 1: How well do masks work? Anyone want to try? And oh,
Speaker 1: we've got a model that says if eighty percent of
Speaker 1: people were a masked ninety percent of the time in
Speaker 1: forty percent of places, then it would be ninety five percent.
Speaker 1: This is all just make believe. They don't know, that's
Speaker 1: not real data. That's like when they're telling you what
Speaker 1: the climate's going to be in a hundred years. They
Speaker 1: don't and they're wrong. Of course, every ten years they
Speaker 1: have to keep adjusting these things they don't know, but
Speaker 1: they're never going to change. They're never going to admit
Speaker 1: that this was all disastrous and in fact, I'm of
Speaker 1: the belief that the Democrats' ability to dominate the narrative
Speaker 1: because of the media panic that was induced and or
Speaker 1: the media inducing panic in the public. The Democrat narrative
Speaker 1: about COVID and how Trump was so inapt and so
Speaker 1: ineffective and handling it. I think that played a very
Speaker 1: large role in the election, because you know, that's not
Speaker 1: something people would necessarily tell to a polster, or it's
Speaker 1: not something that the data would all that clearly indicate.
Speaker 1: But I think that it affected to overall perception is
Speaker 1: Trump doing a good job. A lot of people would
Speaker 1: look at what happened in twenty twenty with COVID, and
Speaker 1: that'd say, well, look at how terrible things are in
Speaker 1: the country. Is that fair? No? Did the media exploit this, Yes,
Speaker 1: but it worked. It works. And what we're going to
Speaker 1: see now is there are going to be these red
Speaker 1: state or redder states placed like Florida Haven's set up
Speaker 1: and where you have these mass migrations occurring from the
Speaker 1: blue strongholds California, New York. They're gonna have enormous problems now.
Speaker 1: They're going to try to make up that shortfall in
Speaker 1: tax revenue and at the federal level. Now, that's right,
Speaker 1: The federal bailouts are coming for these cities. So understand there,
Speaker 1: that's the socialism that we don't spend much time talking
Speaker 1: about the redistribution of wealth to prefer Democrat enclaves at
Speaker 1: the federal level. Now, they would say, oh, but they
Speaker 1: you know, they pay more in taxes and the red
Speaker 1: states have you know, they get getting more benefits per
Speaker 1: per resident. What I'm saying is that, yeah, but they're
Speaker 1: about to turn this whole thing around because they're gonna
Speaker 1: start shooting the money gun at all these blue states
Speaker 1: that are hemorrhaging residents. They can try to shore up
Speaker 1: the public sector unions. They can try to make it
Speaker 1: seem like the holes in the budgets are not so catastrophic.
Speaker 1: So they're gonna try to stop that mass migration from
Speaker 1: happening because it's bad for the for the Democrat brand. Florida,
Speaker 1: I saw dissent to say that they're up twenty percent
Speaker 1: in housing sales, twenty percent during a pandemic. People are fleeing,
Speaker 1: they're going there. They're saying enough, I can't do this anymore.
Speaker 1: I talk to friends in New York, I gotta say,
Speaker 1: we're under you know, a strict lockdown here, and people
Speaker 1: are just they're they're cracking up. I mean, they're losing it.
Speaker 1: For what what's the benefit. What would happen if you
Speaker 1: opened up restaurants in New York City but you had
Speaker 1: these mitigation measures in place, you know, limitations of people,
Speaker 1: the answers, It would basically be what it is right now.
Speaker 1: So why not open up the restaurants? It would based
Speaker 1: on their data, it would be ninety nine percent the same.
Speaker 1: It's that's not worth it. It's not worth it. It's
Speaker 1: worth putting tens of thousands of people out of work, immiserrated, sick, homeless,
Speaker 1: perhaps all it's worth that to have one a possible
Speaker 1: one percent reduction in cases. Wow, I guess you know,
Speaker 1: if it saves just one life, we better shut down
Speaker 1: every year for the flu. If that's going to be
Speaker 1: our approach every year, gotta shut down the flu's coming.
Speaker 1: What those tens of thousands of lives don't matter? You
Speaker 1: know what happened? If we also, I have to wonder
Speaker 1: the flu is basically eradicated. How is that possible? Oh?
Speaker 1: Because social distancing and mask wearing. Now we're led to
Speaker 1: believe is almost one hundred percent effective against the influenza virus,
Speaker 1: but like not effective if really well, you can't prove
Speaker 1: it any data effectiveness whatsoever based on what's happening right
Speaker 1: now with COVID. Notice they don't even have an explanation
Speaker 1: for this other than yeah, it works against the flu
Speaker 1: super well. That's quite strange considering there are tens of
Speaker 1: millions of flucases every year. It's pretty contagious, folks. But
Speaker 1: DeSantis is a shining light from the Sunshine state we got.
Speaker 1: We gotta take our victories where we can. You're in
Speaker 1: the freedom Hunt. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast
Speaker 1: from More Bucked. Head to Bucksexton dot com and remember
Speaker 1: to subscribe to the podcast. No charges for the police
Speaker 1: officer who shot Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Now you
Speaker 1: may recall this was over the summer when BLM was
Speaker 1: engaged in riots across the country, when BLM was looting
Speaker 1: stores and attacking innocent people's businesses and homes and throwing
Speaker 1: rocks at police officers. Antifa was trying to blind cops
Speaker 1: with lasers fired in their eyes. You remember when all
Speaker 1: that was going on, all about what was happening. The
Speaker 1: media was also looking for any opportunity to take a
Speaker 1: story of a police involved shooting and turn it into
Speaker 1: some kind of evil racist look another cop doing what
Speaker 1: cops do, being terrible, shooting an unarmed black man, and
Speaker 1: then get the cycle going all over again. I will say,
Speaker 1: just as an aside, it is deeply disappointing to me
Speaker 1: as an American that the Democrats did not pay a
Speaker 1: bigger price for their their reckless demagoguery on this issue.
Speaker 1: And they're really wholesale embrace of not just the BLM movement,
Speaker 1: but also they're either turning a blind eye to or
Speaker 1: just open support of Antifa. And remember Antifa took up
Speaker 1: the Black Lives Matter banner at different points in order
Speaker 1: to give them a kind of moral legitimacy they would
Speaker 1: not have otherwise had. So that's what That's what was
Speaker 1: happening of the summer. And I will tell you I
Speaker 1: think I may have heard of Kenosha, Wisconsin before this summer,
Speaker 1: but I might not have not a place that I
Speaker 1: could say I know very well. It's a city of
Speaker 1: about fifty thousand. I think it just barely qualifies as
Speaker 1: a city. It's really kind of a big town. But
Speaker 1: there was a shooting in Kenosha, Wisconsin, and we have
Speaker 1: video of the shooting, what occurred, what happened that led
Speaker 1: to riots. Remember, Kenosha was the scene of riots, and
Speaker 1: those riots were so so extreme that then people like
Speaker 1: Kyle Rittenhouse showed up to protect some of the businesses
Speaker 1: and some of the government buildings that were being mobbed
Speaker 1: and assaulted. And then Rittenhouse was mobbed and assaulted, and
Speaker 1: then he shot, shot and killed someone. He says in
Speaker 1: self defense, and certainly seems from the video and the
Speaker 1: evidence presented so far that it was self defense. But
Speaker 1: we'll see what the courts say, right, We'll see where
Speaker 1: this goes. Now we have Kenosha a a final determination
Speaker 1: about the officer involved shooting that led to the riots
Speaker 1: that led to the Rittenhouse incident. And here's what happened.
Speaker 1: The Democrat district attorney, the Democrat district attorney found that
Speaker 1: the police officer here should not be charged, right, that
Speaker 1: the police officer involved in this shooting didn't actually break
Speaker 1: the law. And this is a this is at a
Speaker 1: pretty straightforward case if you actually look at the facts.
Speaker 1: It's not surprising to me that the Democrat oh. The
Speaker 1: Washington Post deleted the They deleted the tweet I've responded to.
Speaker 1: It's not surprising to me the Democrat prosecutor didn't bring
Speaker 1: the initial they didn't bring criminal charges. And here's why.
Speaker 1: They have video of Jacob Blake refusing police commands. Obviously
Speaker 1: and repeatedly and clearly. The police are saying stop, stop,
Speaker 1: don't move, don't move, show me your hands, show me
Speaker 1: your hands. They're yelling at this guy, and he's moving
Speaker 1: around to the driver's side of a car, reaching into
Speaker 1: the car to grab something. Okay, that's what's happened. He's
Speaker 1: reaching into the car to seize something, and he grabbed
Speaker 1: a knife. The officer who shot him had his hand
Speaker 1: on Blake's back, holding his shirt, yelling at him to
Speaker 1: show him his hands, show him his hands. He he
Speaker 1: did everything he could do. The next level of this
Speaker 1: would have been that officer sitting waiting to see if
Speaker 1: Blake was going to stab him in the face or
Speaker 1: the throat or the chest with the knife. Why are
Speaker 1: you going for a knife when police have guns drawn
Speaker 1: on you in broad daylight and are saying stop, stop, stop.
Speaker 1: If police cannot fire under those circumstances, what we're saying
Speaker 1: is police are not allowed to defend themselves against lethal force.
Speaker 1: That's all. That's very straightforward. Is not a close call situation,
Speaker 1: all right? If someone if police say show me your hands,
Speaker 1: show me your hands, and you have a gun in
Speaker 1: your waistband and it's on video, and you reach for
Speaker 1: and grab your gun, they're going to shoot you. They're
Speaker 1: not going to wait to see if you draw that
Speaker 1: weapon and fire at them first. That act of refusing
Speaker 1: commands and reaching for a weapon is enough under the
Speaker 1: under the rules of force use you know, the rules
Speaker 1: of application of force for people in the law enforcement community. Okay,
Speaker 1: that is a that is a legitimate use of force situation.
Speaker 1: And the way the way the Washington Post reported on
Speaker 1: this was appalling. There's no surprise. What do they do
Speaker 1: they they initially said the headline and then now they
Speaker 1: deleted it. I was gonna read it to you, but
Speaker 1: it was on Twitter. They deleted it. The headline was
Speaker 1: no choice, something like no charges in the shooting of
Speaker 1: Jacob Blake, an unarmed black man who was shot by
Speaker 1: police seven times in the back. Long headline. Why was
Speaker 1: that the head Why wasn't the headline just no charges?
Speaker 1: I mean, if you were just doing a news story,
Speaker 1: wouldn't it be no charges against police officer and Jacob
Speaker 1: Blake shooting. Why did the garbage heat publication and known
Speaker 1: as the Washington Post, why they make the decision three
Speaker 1: people on the byeline, by the way, on a breaking
Speaker 1: news story that was clearly going to get a lot
Speaker 1: of attention like this, to say that Jacob Blake was
Speaker 1: unarmed and that he was shot seven times in the back?
Speaker 1: Are those now? Those are those are details that you
Speaker 1: put in a news story? Or why is that of
Speaker 1: the headline? Because what the Washington Post was trying to
Speaker 1: do was say that this was a racist murder by
Speaker 1: police and it's going unpunished. And what Lebron do we
Speaker 1: have the Lebron audio mark? Yes, well this Lebron James
Speaker 1: one of the most wealthy, famous, influential people on the planet.
Speaker 1: This is how he reacts to the story publicly on
Speaker 1: his social media accounts with tens of millions of followers. Played.
Speaker 1: I'm smart enough to know that even though we're playing
Speaker 1: a game of basketball, that there's so much more thats
Speaker 1: going on in the world, so much more of us,
Speaker 1: even more important than us playing the game um and
Speaker 1: uh to hear what happened in Kenosha today was am
Speaker 1: was a blow to the heart and to the gut. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, not only to that community, um, you know,
Speaker 1: but to us and to every um you know, I
Speaker 1: guess you know black person that that that just has
Speaker 1: been a part of this process and seeing these outcomes
Speaker 1: for so long, and not only just in the black community,
Speaker 1: but also in the white community as well. Who whoo
Speaker 1: who will see uh, you know, moments like this happened
Speaker 1: to us, um, and to happen to his family, and
Speaker 1: to happen to the kid himself, to see that verdict,
Speaker 1: It was just, Um, it was a blow to the gut,
Speaker 1: Like I said, the blow to the heart. But we
Speaker 1: got to continue to we got to continue to stay strong, um,
Speaker 1: continue to to to believe in each other and continue
Speaker 1: to push for the for the for the greater of change,
Speaker 1: and for the greater of good. So here here you
Speaker 1: have one of the most powerful, most influential, wealthiest people
Speaker 1: in the world. Really, Lebron James has tens of millions
Speaker 1: of followers on social media. I mean, he's he's known
Speaker 1: pretty much everywhere where they have you know, internet access
Speaker 1: and a TV they're gonna do. Lebron James is for
Speaker 1: all intensive purposes. It's probably worth a billion dollars or
Speaker 1: close to it already, Okay, for playing basketball, and this
Speaker 1: guy is an international superstar. And what I want to
Speaker 1: know is, yes, there is absolutely a need, there's absolutely
Speaker 1: a role for sympathy for Jacob Blake's family. That's that's true.
Speaker 1: That's always the case. You know, even if someone is
Speaker 1: in a drunk driving accident that they cause and they die,
Speaker 1: you feel bad for the family They've lost someone. Jacob Blake,
Speaker 1: as we know, was shot. He was paralyzed, so he
Speaker 1: did live, but he was paralyzed after being shot by
Speaker 1: my police. And that has a that's obviously a lifelong burden.
Speaker 1: It's a it's a it's a loss for that family
Speaker 1: as well. That's something that is a tragedy for them.
Speaker 1: But what's interesting to me about this is that Lebron
Speaker 1: James clearly wants an attempt an attempted murder charge here, right,
Speaker 1: I mean this this man was paralyzed. He he was
Speaker 1: shot at seven times, and so Lebron wants this cop
Speaker 1: to be treated like a racist would be killer. This
Speaker 1: cop out of out of racism, tried to kill and
Speaker 1: paralyzed Jacob Blake. Does that Does that sound like justice
Speaker 1: to anyone? Does that sound like something that should happen here?
Speaker 1: I mean, in what world is that a fair outcome?
Speaker 1: You know? The Washington Post in their headlines said unarmed.
Speaker 1: You know what the problem with that is, he wasn't unarmed,
Speaker 1: So they had to delete the headline, They had to
Speaker 1: walk that all thing back. So they're still at this
Speaker 1: stage lying about this incident because they're playing to a narrative,
Speaker 1: and that narrative is deeply destructive. And Lebron James is
Speaker 1: playing to that narrative too, although I think, you know,
Speaker 1: I think he believes it, and that is that police
Speaker 1: are racist murderers of black men, and that the police
Speaker 1: and the policing in America is deeply rooted in systemic
Speaker 1: and vicious racism. And that's a really dangerous charge to
Speaker 1: put out there, especially because it's not true. It's just
Speaker 1: not true. You know, they keep finding these incidents like
Speaker 1: this and they tell us that it's racism, and then
Speaker 1: we see it and we learn more about it. Whether
Speaker 1: it's what happened in Ferguson, Missouri, I'm not saying there's
Speaker 1: no racism. Of course, I'm not saying there are no
Speaker 1: cops who are murderers. Of course there are. But you know,
Speaker 1: to treat all cops as are they're the bad guys,
Speaker 1: and then to hold up these incidents where the comps
Speaker 1: aren't even doing anything wrong. It's a tragedy, but it's
Speaker 1: not a crime. That's irresponsible, it's reckless, it's destructive. And
Speaker 1: the Washington Post, of course, the Democrats are all a
Speaker 1: part of this. Why would the Washington Post get that's
Speaker 1: such a key detail. He wasn't unarmed. The guy had
Speaker 1: a knife. It's on video and the district attorney in
Speaker 1: Kenosha saw it. It's all very clear. He went for
Speaker 1: a knife. You can't do that. You can't do it,
Speaker 1: or what are we gonna do? Tell cops that they
Speaker 1: have to get you know, stabbed in the neck before
Speaker 1: they can use their service weapon and defense of themselves.
Speaker 1: At what phase are cops allowed to actually take action
Speaker 1: so that they get to go home to their families
Speaker 1: and there you know, we're talking to all human beings here.
Speaker 1: They people will love them, people will care about them.
Speaker 1: But we have police to protect all of us, to
Speaker 1: protect you. And me. And there are very important laws
Speaker 1: and rules and regulations and use of force escalation that
Speaker 1: is taught and that is necessary for law enforcement. And
Speaker 1: what happened here was all within the scope of this
Speaker 1: office lawful duties. But that that. But see, they lie
Speaker 1: about it because they're so desperate. The Washington Post lies.
Speaker 1: But they deleted the tweet. They've admitted they said, oh,
Speaker 1: we have a correction. The family says he was unarmed,
Speaker 1: they said on their correction, But the DA and the
Speaker 1: video says that he actually was grabbing a knife. Oh,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. So the family lawyer, Now that's that's how
Speaker 1: they do reporting. Well, this person's family lawyer says, you
Speaker 1: know that that they were innocent of the charge. So
Speaker 1: we're our headline is going to say innocent of a charge.
Speaker 1: That's not how it works, although it is for Democrats
Speaker 1: and for leftists. But here's the other here's the other issue.
Speaker 1: Here's the bigger part of this. Democrats are going to
Speaker 1: do a lot more of this going ahead. Now they
Speaker 1: feel emboldened to do this. They're going to build upon
Speaker 1: and try to hammer home this narrative of cops are racist,
Speaker 1: law enforcement is racist, and therefore we have to do
Speaker 1: things to hurt law enforcement, and we have to offer
Speaker 1: up sacrifices of law enforcement officers who will be ruined,
Speaker 1: who will be sent to prison, who of their lives
Speaker 1: won't be able to see their families, and be treated
Speaker 1: like murderers, be treated like racists, in order to assuage
Speaker 1: the anger of the Democrat base, and in order to
Speaker 1: play into this narrative of our police officers as evil, bad,
Speaker 1: racist people, which is a lie. I don't care how
Speaker 1: often Lebron James says it. I don't care how many
Speaker 1: celebrities say it. I don't care how much the Democrats
Speaker 1: pander on this issue. It's just not true. The rare
Speaker 1: and occasional criminal and or racist police officer in America
Speaker 1: out of hundreds of thousands of law enforcement officers across
Speaker 1: the country is not It is not in any way
Speaker 1: a fair basis form aligning all law enforcement as racist,
Speaker 1: and that is what the Democrats do. It is reckless
