WEBVTT - Buck’s First Thoughts - 1/5/21 0:00:01.360 --> 0:00:04.120 You're in the freedom hunt. This is the Buck Sexton 0:00:04.200 --> 0:00:07.520 Show podcast. Get more from Buck by following him on 0:00:07.600 --> 0:00:11.440 social media at Buck Sexton on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. 0:00:12.360 --> 0:00:17.640 The damage they do will be permanent and will be irreversible. 0:00:19.079 --> 0:00:22.000 Can't let it happen. Nothing and no one will be 0:00:22.040 --> 0:00:26.720 able to stop them. These Senate seats are truly the 0:00:26.840 --> 0:00:31.480 last line of defense. Now, I must preface that by saying, 0:00:31.480 --> 0:00:37.640 because they'll say he just conceded. No, no, So we 0:00:37.760 --> 0:00:41.760 have quite an important race today determining control of the 0:00:41.800 --> 0:00:44.680 United States senators. You know, Republicans already have fifty seats, 0:00:45.040 --> 0:00:48.080 Democrats have forty eight seats. There are two Senate seats 0:00:48.080 --> 0:00:51.080 in play because there was no one who got more 0:00:51.080 --> 0:00:55.080 than fifty percent in the election, so that forces a runoff. 0:00:56.120 --> 0:01:01.840 And now we have this battle between these candidates playing 0:01:01.840 --> 0:01:08.039 out with the whole country watching very closely because so 0:01:08.160 --> 0:01:11.360 much is at stake. You got us off hoping to 0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:16.240 defeat per Due. You have war knock up against Kelly Leffler, 0:01:17.400 --> 0:01:20.360 and many people now sitting around wondering what would happen? 0:01:20.800 --> 0:01:24.280 I mean, the President even understands the stakes here. What 0:01:24.360 --> 0:01:27.920 would happen if the Democrats had uncontroled, well, I shouldn't 0:01:27.920 --> 0:01:32.560 say uncontested, but majority control. Hopefully we'll contest it no 0:01:32.560 --> 0:01:36.959 matter what majority control in the House, the Senate, and 0:01:36.959 --> 0:01:39.720 and of course having the presidency as well. What are 0:01:39.720 --> 0:01:42.399 the kinds of things that they would do. Often we 0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:45.360 talk about politics in more general terms, perhaps even we 0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:50.280 focus in on things that are more theoretically impactful, that 0:01:50.360 --> 0:01:54.400 are more a question of what is best, what is right, 0:01:54.480 --> 0:01:59.760 but not necessarily what will affect you the control of 0:01:59.760 --> 0:02:02.680 this Senate, especially when you take into account the very 0:02:02.760 --> 0:02:06.520 high likelihood that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, the ninety 0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:09.359 nine point nine percent likelihood that they're going to be 0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:12.200 the president and vice president of the United States in 0:02:12.200 --> 0:02:15.840 just a matter of weeks. Here the Senate is as 0:02:15.840 --> 0:02:19.240 the president as our current president. Trump pointed out the 0:02:19.360 --> 0:02:24.840 last line of defense, and if you have Harris and Biden, gosh, 0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:26.440 I didn't mean to say it in that order, but 0:02:27.160 --> 0:02:30.720 seems right, doesn't it. Increasingly this will look like a 0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:35.000 Harris presidency with this guy named Joe Biden who's hanging 0:02:35.040 --> 0:02:37.400 out the Oval office but not really calling the shots. 0:02:37.440 --> 0:02:40.920 That's my prediction. But if they don't have the Senate. 0:02:41.400 --> 0:02:43.919 They're not able to do the same kind of long 0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:47.120 term damage, and they're much less likely to be able 0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:50.960 to do damage that will affect you. Here's what they're 0:02:51.000 --> 0:02:54.880 not telling you. Here's what you're not hearing about what 0:02:54.960 --> 0:02:59.120 this will influence. If we have Democrats in control of 0:02:59.160 --> 0:03:02.040 the House, the Senate, and the White House, you will 0:03:02.080 --> 0:03:07.000 see a major increase in taxes. You will see an 0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:10.400 effort to try and come up with a public option, 0:03:11.280 --> 0:03:13.880 which will expand the one thing. Do you know what 0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:17.400 drives most states deep into the red unions? Do you 0:03:17.440 --> 0:03:20.520 know what the single biggest budget item is that pushes 0:03:20.560 --> 0:03:23.800 states into debt and then causes more borrowing, and then 0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:28.880 there's interest payments, which means, guess what more tax on 0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:34.160 all of you. It is Medicaid. It is the government's 0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:38.480 idea of providing healthcare for people at a certain income level. 0:03:39.040 --> 0:03:42.080 That's the single biggest driver of state debt. Do you 0:03:42.160 --> 0:03:45.160 think that a public option is going to be a 0:03:45.200 --> 0:03:48.760 plan that people will want to be on. The only 0:03:48.760 --> 0:03:51.120 way that happens is if they're getting a much better deal. 0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:53.440 They're getting much more out of it than they pay 0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:56.240 into it, and that's going to drive up the cost 0:03:56.360 --> 0:03:58.280 of healthcare for everyone else, because you're going to be 0:03:58.320 --> 0:04:02.480 subsidizing that public option, like your taxes currently pay for Medicaid. 0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:05.240 So that's one thing they'll definitely do that. I mean, 0:04:05.280 --> 0:04:08.480 that's a given. There'll be environmental policies, There'll be an 0:04:08.480 --> 0:04:11.200 increase in the corporate tax rate to whatever it will be, 0:04:11.200 --> 0:04:15.040 twenty eight percent or thirty percenter, who knows, which means 0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:16.760 that you'll see a decline in the stock market, you'll 0:04:16.760 --> 0:04:19.800 see decline in your four oh one ks, Hiring will 0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:22.440 go down just at a point when we could see 0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:26.480 a major economic recovery. And we can tell based on 0:04:26.480 --> 0:04:29.760 what's already happened this year under Trump, that there is 0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:31.599 a lot of cash on the sidelines. There a lot 0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:34.360 of people just waiting, just waiting for that green light 0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:37.000 for the economy to open back up again post COVID, 0:04:37.760 --> 0:04:42.400 and there'll be a flurry, a frenzy of productive wealth 0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:47.880 creation for Americans all across the country. That can happen. 0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:51.120 But if you have these Democrats able to do whatever 0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:56.720 they want without Republicans having a majority in any and 0:04:56.880 --> 0:05:01.200 any aspect of the rulemaking and implement part of the 0:05:01.240 --> 0:05:03.680 government right, if they have the White House and the 0:05:03.760 --> 0:05:07.320 Congress all locked up. They're going to do whatever they want. 0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:11.120 So those are things that will absolutely happen, and then 0:05:11.120 --> 0:05:13.320 we get into the what could happen? Now, we get 0:05:13.320 --> 0:05:17.800 into the what if things get really bad? And for 0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:20.039 that I would just bring you to the long term 0:05:20.160 --> 0:05:24.479 structural changes that Democrats can go for right away. They 0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:27.839 are already talking about and they're still doing it going 0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:30.880 right into an election. Here they're talking about statehood for 0:05:31.000 --> 0:05:34.920 DC and Puerto Rico, which would add four United States senators, 0:05:34.920 --> 0:05:37.560 which means they're going to have a Senate majority for 0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:40.640 the next let's say decade or two. And that's really 0:05:40.680 --> 0:05:43.840 just baked into the cake. That's all done. If they 0:05:43.880 --> 0:05:46.520 do that, they're going to try to pack the courts. 0:05:46.520 --> 0:05:48.599 They will, I shouldn't say try. They will pack the 0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:51.480 courts with activists. They'll pack the courts with people who 0:05:51.520 --> 0:05:53.920 think that you should say amen and a women, you 0:05:53.960 --> 0:05:57.200 know it. They'll pack the courts with social justice warriors, 0:05:57.440 --> 0:06:01.960 with those who are so brainwashed by wokeness and political 0:06:02.000 --> 0:06:04.480 correctness that the law will not matter because they see 0:06:04.520 --> 0:06:09.440 a greater justice in diversity and inclusion efforts than anything 0:06:09.480 --> 0:06:13.920 actually written in statute or the Constitution. They'll have judges 0:06:14.000 --> 0:06:18.159 that reject science while claiming to embrace it on issues 0:06:18.200 --> 0:06:20.320 of the right to life in the womb. They'll put 0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:24.120 judges forward that will make sure that your liberty is 0:06:24.880 --> 0:06:28.919 only at the whim of the state. There's no freedom, 0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:32.520 there's no protection that you have. When some Democrat demogogue 0:06:32.520 --> 0:06:35.440 comes along and says, oh, but this is really important, 0:06:35.839 --> 0:06:38.880 Oh but COVID means that the constitution no longer counts. 0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:43.520 The left is all on board with an ideology of 0:06:43.560 --> 0:06:46.600 the eradication of your rights when they think it's convenient, 0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:48.960 when they think it's necessary. There is no right that 0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:53.000 you have that the state cannot violate, including just the 0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:56.080 right to a fair trial, the right to not be 0:06:56.160 --> 0:06:59.880 detained for no reason. The most basic kinds of justice 0:07:00.279 --> 0:07:03.960 are under assault in the COVID era. You have things 0:07:04.000 --> 0:07:07.000 like the bill in New York statele they'll be able 0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:09.240 to detain you because you're considered a public health risk. 0:07:09.520 --> 0:07:11.680 Who determines whether you're a public health risk? The people 0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:14.440 in charge. How do you even get to fight that? 0:07:14.680 --> 0:07:17.800 You don't They can just take you now. Whatever happened 0:07:17.800 --> 0:07:21.360 to habeas corpus, whatever happened to due process, Democrats are 0:07:21.400 --> 0:07:23.960 abandoning all this. But we're not paying attention to that 0:07:24.120 --> 0:07:27.040 as a country, are we. No. No, We're supposed to 0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:30.080 focus on Trump's phone call in Georgia. Oh my gosh. 0:07:30.120 --> 0:07:34.200 Impeach him again. Impeach him for what exactly. The President 0:07:34.240 --> 0:07:37.480 believes that the election was stolen from him. He thinks 0:07:37.520 --> 0:07:42.280 that Raffensburger is an incompetent buffoon, and he is, so 0:07:42.320 --> 0:07:44.760 he doesn't trust Raffensburger's word when he says, oh, no, 0:07:44.880 --> 0:07:47.920 you have the wrong numbers. And once again they're telling 0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:49.840 us the President, because of what he said on a 0:07:49.880 --> 0:07:54.119 phone call, should be impeached, and I suppose removed, because 0:07:54.160 --> 0:07:57.240 it's never enough for them. It wouldn't be enough even 0:07:57.240 --> 0:08:01.000 if Trump were removed from office at this very late 0:08:01.080 --> 0:08:04.120 stage and then prosecuted, they would still feel like Trump 0:08:04.200 --> 0:08:08.600 got off easy. And this is what we are up 0:08:08.600 --> 0:08:10.880 against with these Democrats. And that's why I want to 0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:15.840 tell you. In the same way that Trump turned around 0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:19.680 the idea of fake news on the Lib media. One 0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:23.640 of the great things about trumps um has been his willingness, 0:08:23.680 --> 0:08:29.680 his ability, his tenacity in fighting back against the fake 0:08:29.760 --> 0:08:32.560 news media. He turned the term around on them, and 0:08:32.600 --> 0:08:36.600 they absolutely hated it because remember in the early days, 0:08:36.840 --> 0:08:39.040 they were saying that fake news was the only reason 0:08:39.120 --> 0:08:42.960 people wanted to vote for Donald Trump. It's because Trump 0:08:43.040 --> 0:08:47.680 voters were such easily fooled imbeciles that they could see 0:08:47.720 --> 0:08:49.680 things on the Internet that weren't true and say, yeah, 0:08:49.679 --> 0:08:52.319 I'm gonna vote for Trump. That was what fake news 0:08:52.400 --> 0:08:54.920 was supposed to be. Then Trump said, no, you the 0:08:54.960 --> 0:08:59.679 mainstream media, you are the fake news. You lie, you 0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:03.240 lie about things and pretend that you are the truth tellers, 0:09:03.320 --> 0:09:05.720 which makes it even worse. And they hated that. They 0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:08.400 hated it because he turned it around. Well, I say 0:09:08.400 --> 0:09:12.320 that we borrow from them once again. It is time 0:09:12.400 --> 0:09:17.520 for the hashtag resistance, and I this will drive them mad. 0:09:17.600 --> 0:09:19.839 Remember this. In the beginning, the very earliest days of 0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:23.760 the Trump presidency, they said that they were going to resist, 0:09:23.920 --> 0:09:30.520 and they were explicit comparisons between the French larisistance fighting 0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:35.480 against occupied Nazi rule. That was what they were trying. 0:09:35.480 --> 0:09:39.559 They're trying to create this comparison between them and the 0:09:39.600 --> 0:09:43.760 fighters of fascism. Well, this time around, when we know 0:09:43.800 --> 0:09:48.160 who the true fascist impulse comes from, where we know 0:09:48.200 --> 0:09:51.280 who the real authoritarians are the Democrat Party and the left. 0:09:51.120 --> 0:09:55.240 I say we take a page from their playbook. We 0:09:55.360 --> 0:09:58.560 resist at every stage. The Senate would give us a 0:09:58.640 --> 0:10:03.840 very powerful tool in process, but also Trump appointed judges 0:10:03.960 --> 0:10:06.480 should hold to the law, because by doing that they'll 0:10:06.520 --> 0:10:13.120 be sufficiently problematic for the authoritarian left, and so therefore 0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:16.680 that will become another avenue of resistance. We resist, and 0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:22.760 this Georgia Senate battle today is an important peace in 0:10:22.840 --> 0:10:27.280 all of that. If we have a Senate majority, we're 0:10:27.320 --> 0:10:33.400 able to stifle stimy, hobble the agenda of Biden, Harris 0:10:34.200 --> 0:10:38.440 and the left wing Libs, we can effectively make them 0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:43.400 inept more so than they would already be. That's what's 0:10:43.400 --> 0:10:45.960 at stake today. I certainly hope that anybody listening to 0:10:46.000 --> 0:10:47.640 this in Georgia, and I know there are many of you. 0:10:47.679 --> 0:10:49.520 I certainly hope that people listening to this who are 0:10:49.960 --> 0:10:53.080 legally able to and still can vote, and we're expecting 0:10:53.240 --> 0:10:57.200 massive turnout today from Republicans. Early voting tends to go 0:10:57.400 --> 0:10:59.880 the Democrats way, but this time around, I'm hoping republic 0:11:01.000 --> 0:11:04.559 show just what turnout on election day really means. The 0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:09.880 stakes are indeed very high. They're high for you the 0:11:09.920 --> 0:11:13.160 Georgia Senate seats in play right now will determine how 0:11:13.240 --> 0:11:15.400 much money you have in your bank account. At some 0:11:15.520 --> 0:11:19.760 level a year from now, it will determine what kind 0:11:19.760 --> 0:11:23.440 of healthcare options you have, what kind of environmental regulations 0:11:23.480 --> 0:11:26.160 you live under, and perhaps whether or not you can 0:11:26.240 --> 0:11:28.960 even have the option of voting for a Republican party 0:11:29.360 --> 0:11:32.240 that has a realistic shot of taking back power at 0:11:32.280 --> 0:11:34.720 the national level. Those are the kind of things that 0:11:34.800 --> 0:11:38.640 are on the ballot. As they say, the radicalism of 0:11:38.720 --> 0:11:42.360 the left needs to be defeated, and at a minimum, 0:11:43.120 --> 0:11:45.640 at a minimum, we need to have tools like a 0:11:45.760 --> 0:11:52.040 Senate majority and an emboldened Republican base that's willing to 0:11:52.040 --> 0:11:55.959 continue this fight no matter what happens in the Trump 0:11:56.200 --> 0:12:01.000 reelection recount battle. Those are the stakes, friends, That's what 0:12:01.040 --> 0:12:04.120 we're up to today. We'll continue to look very closely 0:12:04.200 --> 0:12:08.680 at all aspects of this fight. Thanks for listening to 0:12:08.720 --> 0:12:12.160 The Buck Sexton Show podcast. Get the latest news and 0:12:12.240 --> 0:12:18.800 information from Buck by heading to Bucksexton dot com. Tomorrow, 0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:21.120 each of you is going to vote in one of 0:12:21.120 --> 0:12:25.520 the most important runoff elections of the history of our country. Runnance. Frankly, 0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:30.120 forget about runoff one of the most important elections. Really, 0:12:30.200 --> 0:12:34.240 it's really not runoff, it's elections because it's a biggie. 0:12:34.800 --> 0:12:37.800 Our country is depending on you. The whole world is 0:12:37.840 --> 0:12:40.880 watching the people of Georgia tomorrow, and you've got to 0:12:40.960 --> 0:12:44.640 swamp them because everything's so crooked around I mean, and 0:12:44.800 --> 0:12:47.280 not here they're saying, oh, he's complaining about Georgia. No. No, 0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:51.680 I'm complaining about eight different states, and I think we're 0:12:51.679 --> 0:12:53.719 gonna win them all. He says he's gonna win them all. 0:12:53.720 --> 0:12:55.960 But let's focus on what he's saying first here about 0:12:56.000 --> 0:12:58.840 the Senate race. It is absolutely critical for the reads 0:12:58.880 --> 0:13:02.520 we're outlining it with Asof and Warnock. You do have 0:13:02.920 --> 0:13:08.240 a quite a duo of Democrats who are really representative 0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:12.640 of the ideological trajectory of that party right now. I 0:13:12.640 --> 0:13:14.440 mean Asof, I mean, this is a guy who what 0:13:14.600 --> 0:13:19.040 is well, why should John Asof be a United States Senator? 0:13:19.640 --> 0:13:22.040 What exactly has he done? He's done a little bit 0:13:22.040 --> 0:13:25.760 of staff work for somebody else in the House, and 0:13:26.160 --> 0:13:29.880 he's rich because of who Dad is. Well, that's not 0:13:29.960 --> 0:13:33.760 particularly impressive, but the Left loves this guy. So that 0:13:33.840 --> 0:13:35.920 tells you a lot, doesn't it. And then you have 0:13:35.960 --> 0:13:42.880 mister Raphael Warnock, the Reverend Raphael Warnock, who is a 0:13:43.040 --> 0:13:47.600 doctrinaire leftist who says what he needs to say in 0:13:47.679 --> 0:13:52.559 order to appeal to his favored constituencies. And what would 0:13:52.559 --> 0:13:55.480 he do. Well, they'll do whatever the Democrat left wants 0:13:55.520 --> 0:14:00.079 them to. It's not even really clear in any way 0:14:00.280 --> 0:14:03.880 what they would push for on their own. They're going 0:14:03.920 --> 0:14:08.360 to be functionaries largely if they win in the Democrat machine. 0:14:08.400 --> 0:14:09.760 But that's all they have to be. They just have 0:14:09.800 --> 0:14:13.840 to go along with it. And there's the Republican candidates 0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:15.960 in this case, who are, let's just be honest, not 0:14:16.200 --> 0:14:21.119 particularly strong. They're good enough, They're far better than these Democrats, 0:14:21.120 --> 0:14:23.560 and good heavens, please don't let me giving you a 0:14:23.600 --> 0:14:26.200 little bit of honesty here dissuade any of you in 0:14:26.240 --> 0:14:28.360 Georgia from going out there and casting your vote for 0:14:28.400 --> 0:14:35.920 these two candidates. But Leffler has done okay, and Purdue 0:14:36.240 --> 0:14:40.840 is also okay. You know you really look at it 0:14:40.920 --> 0:14:44.040 and say, okay, well, but they're Republicans and they will 0:14:44.080 --> 0:14:48.040 at least support policies that will be better off for 0:14:48.760 --> 0:14:51.760 the rest of us, whether Democrats realize it or not. 0:14:52.280 --> 0:14:54.840 But Trump is clearly upset as well at what's going 0:14:54.880 --> 0:14:58.960 on in the state of Georgia. And this is a 0:14:58.960 --> 0:15:03.040 big problem. This is Georgia, friends, this is not some 0:15:03.120 --> 0:15:06.080 place that we thought we'd be having these kinds of troubles. 0:15:06.840 --> 0:15:11.120 So Democrats, there's the immediate power issue here of control 0:15:11.160 --> 0:15:14.640 of the Senate and also Trump continuing to contest the 0:15:15.160 --> 0:15:17.680 outcome in Georgia. But then there's the what does this 0:15:17.720 --> 0:15:19.920 place look like? What does the state of Georgia look 0:15:20.000 --> 0:15:22.160 like in two years? What does it look like in 0:15:22.200 --> 0:15:25.040 four years? This is a in the center of the 0:15:25.080 --> 0:15:28.600 South trending blue state, and we have to look at 0:15:28.680 --> 0:15:30.600 why that is and what's going on. And you have 0:15:30.680 --> 0:15:35.520 to think that the GOP state apparatus is not doing 0:15:35.560 --> 0:15:40.000 a particularly impressive job at all. And Governor Camp in particular, 0:15:40.040 --> 0:15:43.840 who just barely beat Stacy, Remember Stacy Abrahams, the fake 0:15:43.920 --> 0:15:50.320 governor of Georgia. Just Kemp barely beat her. Trump is 0:15:51.160 --> 0:15:54.520 unhappy with Kemp to the point where he's already threatening 0:15:54.560 --> 0:15:58.920 to campaign against him. Play fifteen. I'll be hearing about 0:15:58.920 --> 0:16:01.200 a year and a half campaign against your governor. I 0:16:01.240 --> 0:16:06.400 guarantee that I shouldn't say this. I shouldn't say this 0:16:06.560 --> 0:16:10.360 because I just don't want you to tell anybody outside 0:16:10.360 --> 0:16:13.800 of this room other than the minions of paper up now. 0:16:13.920 --> 0:16:16.360 But you know, I endorsed him. He was in last place, 0:16:17.080 --> 0:16:19.320 and I endorsed him. He went to first place very 0:16:19.400 --> 0:16:22.480 like immediately, and then he won the primary. And then 0:16:22.520 --> 0:16:24.880 I gave him a couple of rallies, which I don't 0:16:24.960 --> 0:16:26.760 like doing for other people. I was telling Keim, I 0:16:26.800 --> 0:16:28.640 had him do rallies for other people. I do him 0:16:28.680 --> 0:16:33.160 for me. Right The president has had the incredible ability 0:16:33.200 --> 0:16:36.400 to pass his support to other people. You know, Obama, 0:16:36.440 --> 0:16:39.640 as popular as he was among Democrats, his popularity did 0:16:39.640 --> 0:16:42.600 not translate to others. When Trump shows up and says 0:16:42.720 --> 0:16:46.120 this is my guy or gal, it tends to really 0:16:46.480 --> 0:16:51.560 move the needle in impressive ways. And that may continue on. 0:16:52.200 --> 0:16:56.280 We'll see. We'll have to look and watch for what 0:16:56.360 --> 0:17:00.160 the president's next moves will be. He very clearly has 0:17:00.160 --> 0:17:03.760 no interest in going quietly into the night. We know 0:17:03.880 --> 0:17:07.000 that much. And he's saying that he's continuing to contest 0:17:07.040 --> 0:17:10.720 this election. But right now, we gotta spend the next 0:17:10.920 --> 0:17:14.720 the next you know, let's see twelve hours, friends, all 0:17:14.760 --> 0:17:18.960 that really matters, All that really matters for the rest 0:17:19.119 --> 0:17:23.800 of today going into tonight, just slay the rest of today, 0:17:23.840 --> 0:17:26.199 forget about the twelve hours. Is that we get this 0:17:26.320 --> 0:17:30.400 Georgia election done and we get these two Senate seats. 0:17:30.440 --> 0:17:34.480 Everybody out there Team buck Georgia. Go vote, Tell your 0:17:34.480 --> 0:17:38.240 friends to vote, stay in line. Once you're in line, 0:17:38.880 --> 0:17:43.679 it's all on you, my friends. Godspeed, You're in the 0:17:43.800 --> 0:17:47.640 Freedom Hut. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast from 0:17:47.640 --> 0:17:50.960 more buck Head to Bucksexton dot com and remember to 0:17:51.000 --> 0:17:55.119 subscribe to the podcast. What has gone wrong with the 0:17:55.200 --> 0:17:58.360 rollout of the vaccine that we've seen phone lines jammed, 0:17:58.400 --> 0:18:00.600 websites crash, a lot of them, and I mean, I 0:18:00.600 --> 0:18:02.320 think at the end of the day we excuse me, 0:18:02.480 --> 0:18:04.360 excuse me if I could finish my question? Just said 0:18:04.359 --> 0:18:06.280 what has gone wrong? So I'm answering the question if 0:18:06.320 --> 0:18:08.199 I could complete the question though, So you're gonna give 0:18:08.200 --> 0:18:10.080 a speech? Are you going to answer? Ask a question? 0:18:10.240 --> 0:18:12.560 With due respect? Governor? You asked the question, I'm going 0:18:12.600 --> 0:18:15.960 to answer it. Finish You're you're you're given a speech. 0:18:15.960 --> 0:18:17.840 You asked the question I am trying to ask you 0:18:17.960 --> 0:18:20.800 that you're going to ask how many questions you get three? 0:18:20.920 --> 0:18:23.040 They only got one question why do you get three 0:18:23.119 --> 0:18:24.960 with I'll due respect, Governor, I'm just asking if I 0:18:25.000 --> 0:18:27.600 could finish my question. You didn't you finish the question. 0:18:27.720 --> 0:18:30.080 I did not. My full question is what went wrong 0:18:30.119 --> 0:18:32.879 with the rollout of the vaccine when we've seen phone 0:18:32.920 --> 0:18:37.679 lines jammed, website you're reading your question to complete it 0:18:37.760 --> 0:18:42.360 for you, Governor. We've seen websites crash, and also senior 0:18:42.400 --> 0:18:45.720 citizens waiting overnight for the vaccine. Where was that at 0:18:46.400 --> 0:18:50.000 We've seen it in Duval, Broward, Orange and Lee County. 0:18:50.040 --> 0:18:52.640 Why was like in Lee? Why did that happen? Did 0:18:52.720 --> 0:18:55.640 you investigate why? That's my question to you, Governor. You're 0:18:55.640 --> 0:18:57.199 the governor of the state. I'm not the governor of 0:18:57.200 --> 0:18:59.960 the state, okay, but you didn't investigate why that happen 0:19:00.040 --> 0:19:02.280 like in Lee County? Why was there a big line? 0:19:02.320 --> 0:19:05.159 Did you did you investigate? Why could you tell us? 0:19:05.359 --> 0:19:10.080 Because we distributed vaccine to hospitals and the hospital said 0:19:10.080 --> 0:19:12.280 first come, first serve, if you show up, we'll do it, 0:19:12.480 --> 0:19:15.240 so they didn't use a registration system. There wasn't anything 0:19:15.240 --> 0:19:17.520 that was done, and there's a lot of demand for it, 0:19:17.600 --> 0:19:20.360 so people are going to want to go ahead and 0:19:19.440 --> 0:19:23.040 then from the state to make sure that senior citizens 0:19:23.040 --> 0:19:26.719 didn't wait outside overnight. So the state is not dictating 0:19:26.720 --> 0:19:30.200 the hospitals. How we're not dictating the Carlos Mogoya how 0:19:30.200 --> 0:19:33.120 he runs his operations here. That would be a total disaster. 0:19:33.560 --> 0:19:36.240 These guys are much more competent to be able to 0:19:36.280 --> 0:19:39.800 deliver healthcare services than a state government could ever be 0:19:40.440 --> 0:19:46.639 knockout from Ron descentis against it a CNN fake news journo. 0:19:46.720 --> 0:19:50.240 I've never seen that one before, but there she was. 0:19:50.320 --> 0:19:53.560 I I like this. Republicans have to do this. When 0:19:53.560 --> 0:19:56.439 you're up against the ninety five percent Democrat media, when 0:19:56.480 --> 0:20:02.800 you're up against a news a news apparatus that will 0:20:02.840 --> 0:20:05.320 do everything in its power to help one side and 0:20:05.400 --> 0:20:07.920 to crush you, to attack you all the time, You've 0:20:07.960 --> 0:20:10.200 got to take every opportunity to point out the bias, 0:20:10.800 --> 0:20:13.320 because otherwise they get what they want and they win. 0:20:14.320 --> 0:20:16.880 So you've got to say, hold on a second, why 0:20:17.560 --> 0:20:20.879 why is the premise of your question based in the 0:20:20.960 --> 0:20:23.040 failures of this state? And you want to do some 0:20:23.160 --> 0:20:26.640 long rambling speech. Look, she wanted her MSNBC moment, Well, 0:20:27.359 --> 0:20:30.520 she got her Fox News moment. Perhaps she wanted to 0:20:30.520 --> 0:20:34.120 be able to attack Ron de Santis, who has been 0:20:34.480 --> 0:20:39.000 the best governor of a large populous state in the 0:20:39.080 --> 0:20:43.840 country at handling COVID. All right, people vote with their feet. 0:20:44.040 --> 0:20:48.880 Then numbers don't lie. When you see the top places 0:20:48.920 --> 0:20:51.920 where Americans are moving and this is from there's a 0:20:52.119 --> 0:20:54.119 U haul in the big moving company. They put out 0:20:54.160 --> 0:20:57.200 their data. There's other moving companies have done the same. 0:20:58.040 --> 0:21:01.159 Where is everybody going? Right now? All right, we've been 0:21:01.200 --> 0:21:04.600 in a crisis. States are doing different things, and this 0:21:04.680 --> 0:21:06.280 is the way it's supposed to be. Right. States are 0:21:06.640 --> 0:21:09.240 able to pursue their own pathways to deal with a 0:21:09.240 --> 0:21:14.720 crisis like this. And where are people fleeing? And where 0:21:14.720 --> 0:21:20.480 are people showing up? Well, they're leaving in unprecedented numbers, 0:21:20.600 --> 0:21:25.080 at least in modern history. New York, California, New Jersey. 0:21:25.560 --> 0:21:28.960 They're leaving big blue enclaves right the heart of the 0:21:29.040 --> 0:21:35.600 Democrat financial money and political power, infrastructure. They're saying, this 0:21:35.720 --> 0:21:42.320 is just crazy. Where are they going? Florida, Tennessee, South Carolina, 0:21:42.680 --> 0:21:48.119 North Carolina either somewhat read or very red states, but 0:21:48.200 --> 0:21:52.080 also states that have low or no income tax, states 0:21:52.080 --> 0:21:56.119 that have been more open during the COVID pandemic. Rhonda 0:21:56.200 --> 0:21:59.640 Santis has been basically running one big move here. It's 0:21:59.720 --> 0:22:03.760 better ad during all of this, and to our our 0:22:03.800 --> 0:22:09.280 listeners in the Miami area and in the Tampa area, 0:22:09.320 --> 0:22:13.800 we got to WFLA and WIOD. To our listeners down 0:22:13.840 --> 0:22:17.600 in the Florida area, we would just say congratulations for 0:22:17.960 --> 0:22:22.280 already being down there, right. Good job, a good job. 0:22:22.600 --> 0:22:26.560 So I've just got to tell you, I'm I'm amazed 0:22:26.640 --> 0:22:32.399 that the broader perception hasn't shifted faster here. You see, 0:22:32.440 --> 0:22:35.120 everyone's going to places that are doing a better job 0:22:35.160 --> 0:22:38.040 with this, and they're fleeing the places that the media pretends. 0:22:38.280 --> 0:22:42.280 Gavin Newsom and governor and Governor Cuomo Governor's Newsom and 0:22:42.320 --> 0:22:47.320 Cuomo are a disaster, an absolute disaster, and all the 0:22:47.400 --> 0:22:51.000 data shows it. You've got twenty two thousand dead in 0:22:51.880 --> 0:22:55.480 Florida from COVID with two million more in population, You've 0:22:55.520 --> 0:22:59.000 got over thirty thousand and now I think it's like 0:22:59.040 --> 0:23:01.520 thirty three or thirty war thousand dead in New York. 0:23:02.320 --> 0:23:05.840 That's a lot more. That's a much bigger death toll. 0:23:06.200 --> 0:23:09.320 And Florida has an even higher percentage of seniors. Remember 0:23:09.359 --> 0:23:13.800 that the biggest vulnerability group is senior citizens. You'd think 0:23:13.800 --> 0:23:16.520 that Florida would have been hit worse than anybody by this, 0:23:16.680 --> 0:23:20.280 But no, And in terms of in terms of death 0:23:20.280 --> 0:23:22.560 per capita, they're essentially in the middle of the pack. 0:23:22.600 --> 0:23:24.800 But understand this, they're in the middle of the pack 0:23:24.880 --> 0:23:29.080 for a state that has a lot of pretty dense cities, 0:23:30.000 --> 0:23:33.280 and also for a state that hasn't been closed down. 0:23:34.240 --> 0:23:37.280 The closed down states should be They should be able 0:23:37.320 --> 0:23:40.080 to point the lockdown states should be able to point 0:23:40.160 --> 0:23:43.960 at more open states and say, oh my gosh, look 0:23:44.000 --> 0:23:45.719 at what a terrible job you've done. Look at how 0:23:45.760 --> 0:23:47.639 much better off we are. Not going to do that 0:23:47.680 --> 0:23:52.680 in California right now, California is having its worst ever 0:23:52.960 --> 0:23:57.680 period of COVID cases. Los Angeles hospitals, according to The 0:23:57.760 --> 0:24:01.960 Daily Mail, have suffered a one thousand percent spike in 0:24:02.080 --> 0:24:05.919 admissions because of COVID and ambulances have been told to 0:24:05.920 --> 0:24:12.560 stop transporting patients with little chance of survival. Now, Los 0:24:12.600 --> 0:24:14.879 Angeles was held up as a model for all of 0:24:14.960 --> 0:24:18.600 us that I think we need to remember this. Los 0:24:18.600 --> 0:24:23.479 Angeles and California. They were see, we wear masks, unlike 0:24:23.480 --> 0:24:27.280
