Speaker 1: Welcome to the Buck Sexton Show team. Welcome to the
Speaker 1: Freedom Hunt. Wednesday of ever thirtieth edition. We have the
Speaker 1: looming battle between Elon and not just Apple, but possibly
Speaker 1: the White House to consider. We'll get into the latest
Speaker 1: of the big tech machinations, the obvious hypocrisy and the
Speaker 1: dealings with China that some of these big tech companies have,
Speaker 1: and what's going on here at home, and also why
Speaker 1: is it that everyone's so worried about TikTok but not
Speaker 1: as concerned about say, Google and these other massive corporations.
Speaker 1: Will discuss that we have a looming rail strike because
Speaker 1: it's not like the economy is going to be bad
Speaker 1: enough as it is, We're going to have to add
Speaker 1: to that the cessation of millions of dollars of productivity
Speaker 1: and commerce every day because the Biden administration hasn't been
Speaker 1: able to negotiate a deal, so they's going to pass
Speaker 1: legislation it seems to force the railway workers to come
Speaker 1: to work and then in New York City, a woman
Speaker 1: who was trying to flee for her life from a
Speaker 1: BLM mob. They surrounded her car, she drove off. They
Speaker 1: want her to take a plea deal. She won't take it.
Speaker 1: Why is that? Well, we will discuss my friends, but
Speaker 1: I need to make sure you're safe online, because the
Speaker 1: bad guys want your information. They want to do whatever
Speaker 1: they can with your personally identifiable information to take out
Speaker 1: loans or credit cards in your name, and that stuff's
Speaker 1: out there because of all the hacks, all the breaches
Speaker 1: that are occurring where companies all of a sudden lose
Speaker 1: millions and millions of people's identifiable information. This is why
Speaker 1: you need LifeLock by Norton. LifeLock to texts and allergs
Speaker 1: you to potential threats that you may not spot on
Speaker 1: your own, like loans taken out in your name that
Speaker 1: you didn't even know about, and if you do become
Speaker 1: a victim of identity theft, dedicated to US based restoration
Speaker 1: specialists will work to fix it now. No one can
Speaker 1: prevent all identity theft or monitor all transactions at all businesses,
Speaker 1: but it is easy to help protect yourself with LifeLock.
Speaker 1: Join now. And save up twenty five percent off your
Speaker 1: first year with promo code buck. Call one eight hundred
Speaker 1: LifeLock or head tolifelock dot com and use promo code
Speaker 1: buck for twenty five percent off one eight hundred LifeLock
Speaker 1: right now, give them a call. Look, I've had LifeLock
Speaker 1: for years. This is something that you absolutely need to have,
Speaker 1: and it's so useful, so helpful. So I just want
Speaker 1: to talk to you about this for a second, because
Speaker 1: you see all these Republican politicians who make a big
Speaker 1: deal about big tech, and right now Elon is fighting
Speaker 1: against the machinery of the left of the Democrats in
Speaker 1: a way that I've never seen anybody take on so
Speaker 1: much as certainly since Trump in twenty sixteen, just taking
Speaker 1: on all of it, the entire apparatus. You know, it
Speaker 1: is him versus the apparatus. And yet the Republicans when
Speaker 1: they talk about this stuff, are often fixated on oh, well,
Speaker 1: TikTok and look what's going on in China and how
Speaker 1: Apple does business in China. This I always want to say,
Speaker 1: TikTok and China. Okay, maybe over the long term that's
Speaker 1: a threat to our freedom, and maybe we're gonna go
Speaker 1: to war with China in ten years or fifty years
Speaker 1: or who knows. And what are they really gonna do
Speaker 1: with all that info on TikTok? I don't know. I mean,
Speaker 1: I have TikTok and I look at you know, people
Speaker 1: cooking steaks and fitness tips, like, I don't really understand
Speaker 1: how that necessarily is going to be of massive use,
Speaker 1: even if it were scaled out for hundreds of millions
Speaker 1: of people for the Chinese Communist Party to see. But
Speaker 1: put that aside, I'm willing to hear about how they're gonna,
Speaker 1: you know, put leave behind software and surveillance tools and
Speaker 1: all this, and you know, TikTok bad. TikTok is bad? Okay, fine,
Speaker 1: But what about big tech here? Does anyone never stop
Speaker 1: to think about how much Google and Facebook and these
Speaker 1: companies are influencing elections? Well, now maybe they are a
Speaker 1: lot more because Twitter is willing to show us because
Speaker 1: of Elon. They suppress the hundred Biden lot top story,
Speaker 1: and it was all to make sure that their preferred
Speaker 1: candidate one. So they're throwing elections that's already happening. I
Speaker 1: also think I'm gonna tell you this, there are a
Speaker 1: lot of Republican politicians who talk a big game about
Speaker 1: big tech but aren't gonna do anything because Big tex
Speaker 1: got a lot of money and a lot of influence,
Speaker 1: and so it's much easier to fixate on China, much
Speaker 1: easier to be, oh, we're gonna stop you know, we're
Speaker 1: gonna stop the Chinese Communist Party and TikTok and all
Speaker 1: this stuff. Okay, well, what are we doing to stop Google? YouTube, Facebook, Instagram?
Speaker 1: I know those are companies that you know they one
Speaker 1: owned the other in two of those cases, But what
Speaker 1: are you going to stop them? Amazon? What are we
Speaker 1: doing about Amazon and the way that it involves itself
Speaker 1: in politics? Now, Apple with Elon Musk, it's a monopoly.
Speaker 1: It's a monopoly obviously the app store, and so there
Speaker 1: need to be legal consequences that come with all this.
Speaker 1: We have to use the processes in place, the same
Speaker 1: legal system and political system that has protected Apple's intellectual
Speaker 1: property and has has getting it done all created this
Speaker 1: whole structure for it. Yeah, well, there's prohibitions on monopoly
Speaker 1: within that system as well. And if Apple doesn't like it,
Speaker 1: maybe they can go build their own country. Yeah, we
Speaker 1: gotta push back on this stuff. We got to be
Speaker 1: serious about it. Oh and then there's this other thing
Speaker 1: too about how Twitter is less safe. Here, we've got
Speaker 1: this clip. This is the former safety expert over at
Speaker 1: Twitter who has just left recently, and he's saying, oh,
Speaker 1: Elon's making it a less safe platform. I have a
Speaker 1: lot of thoughts on this one, but can we can
Speaker 1: we play that clip of this guy who was their
Speaker 1: former chief of safety and trust or whatever? I thought
Speaker 1: we had it. At one point you tweeted that Twitter
Speaker 1: is actually safe for under Elon. Do you feel still
Speaker 1: feel that way? I don't, you know, It's it's funny.
Speaker 1: In the In the days shortly after the acquisition, a
Speaker 1: bunch of things happened. But one of them, predictably because
Speaker 1: it's the Internet, was that a trolling campaign emerged and
Speaker 1: a number of trolls they were like, let's go to
Speaker 1: Twitter and test the new limits of Elon. Twitter's challenge
Speaker 1: going forward is not can the platform build machine learning?
Speaker 1: Sure they can't, but are there enough people who understand
Speaker 1: the emergent malicious campaigns that happen on the service and
Speaker 1: understand it well enough to guide product strategy and policy direction?
Speaker 1: And I don't think that there are enough people left
Speaker 1: at the company who can do that work. You hear
Speaker 1: the little commissar there guide policy direction all these he's
Speaker 1: talking about. Someone to jump in there and make sure
Speaker 1: that the misinformation doesn't spread. I mean Twitter initially came
Speaker 1: on the scene and it was look, unless someone's breaking
Speaker 1: the law, and their terms of service actually reflected this.
Speaker 1: It was unless someone is making death threats, you know,
Speaker 1: posting pornography, breaking or breaking the law in some way,
Speaker 1: there's not Twitter. I'm basically that was it, right, because
Speaker 1: you can block people someone's harassing, oh Twitter harassing block them,
Speaker 1: right is a pretty straightforward. But here we are being
Speaker 1: told that now under Elon Musk gets less safe. What
Speaker 1: they mean is their ideas, the leftist ideas, are less safe.
Speaker 1: This is massive. Elon has said himself, this is about
Speaker 1: a battle for Western civilization. I don't think that's overstating it.
Speaker 1: I don't think he's taking it too far when he
Speaker 1: says that, because without freedom of speech, what other freedom
Speaker 1: do you really have. And if you don't have access
Speaker 1: to the internet, if they can deperson you on the internet,
Speaker 1: as they've done to well Donald Trump, with all the
Speaker 1: social media platforms, kicking them off right away. They've done
Speaker 1: this to so many people. If they do all of that,
Speaker 1: what exactly, what exactly is your recourse? You're gonna get
Speaker 1: a printing press and start putting out pamphlets. It's not
Speaker 1: gonna work. It's not gonna work. I'm gonna come back
Speaker 1: here at a second and talk to you about the
Speaker 1: situation of the rail strike in New York City. I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: situations of the rail strike. And then also this woman
Speaker 1: who's facing charges in New York City. How is it
Speaker 1: the bid administration keeps messing up all this stuff. They're
Speaker 1: so bad at their jobs. We'll discuss. Look, all of
Speaker 1: you have helped build My Pillow into the incredible company
Speaker 1: it is today, and they've got so many great products.
Speaker 1: I've got them all over my home. I'm talking about
Speaker 1: the Geezy dream sheets, the my Pillows, mattress toppers, the towels,
Speaker 1: and right now, Look, if you go to my Pillow

Speaker 1: just changed my towels recently, got more my towels that
Speaker 1: are that have just arrived, and the my towels are
Speaker 1: so much better than the usual because they're more absorbent,
Speaker 1: they're softer. But also your towels, you know, over time
Speaker 1: they get kind of worn out, they get thin, and
Speaker 1: they don't feel very good. They're not very absorbent, so
Speaker 1: you need to change them. So it's time to get

Speaker 1: thinking about getting a gift forward, they could use some
Speaker 1: nice new towels. They'd be like, oh, yeah, I hadn't
Speaker 1: gotten towels in a while. You get them from Michaelndell's
Speaker 1: My Pillow, which is a great company that supports your values.
Speaker 1: It's just win win win all around. So the Biden
Speaker 1: administration is incompetent. You know that, there's no question about it.
Speaker 1: Bide administration is a is a joke. But Biden, I think,
Speaker 1: is going to run again. You've got a lot of
Speaker 1: people that are recognizing that Joe Biden is he's actually
Speaker 1: rebounding right now in popularity. He's getting closer to forty percent.
Speaker 1: But he's still an imbecile. He's still an imbecile. Here
Speaker 1: he is. They've got a rail strike that is possibly
Speaker 1: going to happen. First, let me play here's Kevin McCarthy
Speaker 1: of the of the soon to be House Majority leader.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Speaker of the House, not House Majority, you're
Speaker 1: soon to be Speaker of the House. Here's Kevin McCarthy
Speaker 1: basically saying, the Biden administration totally drop the football on
Speaker 1: this one, as they always do. They stink at this,
Speaker 1: you know, you know the rest play the clip. Yes,
Speaker 1: it's unfortunate that we're here because I know the President
Speaker 1: told us all that this was solved long before the election,
Speaker 1: and now we find ourselves in the last moments, in
Speaker 1: the last hours, asking us to rush a bill to
Speaker 1: the floor. Nobody wants the economy to fail. Nobody wants
Speaker 1: this to happen. But this is another situation where an
Speaker 1: administration told us one thing, just like they told us
Speaker 1: about inflation, was transitory. We found that it was not.
Speaker 1: This was in a negotiation that was selected by this administration.
Speaker 1: This was something that was celebrated by this administration that
Speaker 1: it was fixed. And now right before a holiday season,
Speaker 1: right when farmers need to shift their goods and others,
Speaker 1: we have to rush something to the floor. It's just incompetence.
Speaker 1: But Democrats, they train their voters to not care about results.
Speaker 1: It's all about intentions, which is true, by the way,
Speaker 1: in every socialist and authoritarian state. It's just about what
Speaker 1: we want to do great things. Sorry if the grain
Speaker 1: harvest is completely destroyed and people are starving, but you
Speaker 1: know we had great intentions. Yeah, the path to hell,
Speaker 1: as you know, paved with them. Democrats do this all
Speaker 1: the time, and so just the bad, bad results aren't enough.
Speaker 1: They'll keep producing bad results. And the fact that you're
Speaker 1: looking at this rail strike. Here's Joe Biden, by the way,
Speaker 1: he's talking about this. He said, he's like, learn from nonsense,
Speaker 1: you know, not a joke. Not a joke, says that
Speaker 1: who had even heard of supply chain until like this
Speaker 1: year or something. This is a it's a short clip.
Speaker 1: Let's play it ten years ago. How many you knew
Speaker 1: what tellable supply chain was? No, I'm serious, No, I'm serious.
Speaker 1: Not a joke er, I'm so folks, I'm so relatable,
Speaker 1: not a joke. I'm serious. Who knew that what's supplied?
Speaker 1: I think everybody what supply chain was. That's how your
Speaker 1: stuff gets to you. What do you think the milk
Speaker 1: just appears in the grocery stores? No, there are people
Speaker 1: bringing it. We'd heard the term supply chain. If you
Speaker 1: if you're familiar with, you know, reading and awareness of
Speaker 1: what's going on in society around you, you're familiar with
Speaker 1: supply chain. But notice the bidens All who had even
Speaker 1: heard of us? Today? Well we heard a lot more
Speaker 1: now because there's baby formula shortages, and because I gotta
Speaker 1: tell you, I've ordered. I ordered a couch in August August,
Speaker 1: and it was supposed to be delivered mid October, and
Speaker 1: it's almost December, and it's from West Elam. So I'm
Speaker 1: just gonna put this out there right now. West Elm
Speaker 1: is great because you can order something and it can
Speaker 1: either be delivered in two weeks or apparently two years,
Speaker 1: and you just get to wait and see which it is. Yay,
Speaker 1: But the supply chain issues are all over the place,
Speaker 1: and people keep saying initially it was all, oh, it's COVID,
Speaker 1: it messed things up. It's not COVID. What's going on here,
Speaker 1: the same way that they pretend that the high price
Speaker 1: of energy has nothing to do with the fact that
Speaker 1: Democrats are in office, or inflation orything else. All these
Speaker 1: things happen, they're not good, and instead of accepting that
Speaker 1: these are at least at some level related to policy
Speaker 1: decision making by the people in charge of Democrats, it's just, oh, no,
Speaker 1: it's you're making it up. It's no problem, it's great.
Speaker 1: So it's just wild. Really, it really is that they
Speaker 1: get away with this stuff. Hopefully they're not gonna have
Speaker 1: a massive rail strike that'll cost us two billion dollars
Speaker 1: a day and lost productivity going into the holiday season.
Speaker 1: I'll be a big, big deal. And then there's a
Speaker 1: story of a woman in New York City BLN and
Speaker 1: she was in her car in twenty twenty. I think
Speaker 1: it was June twenty twenty, might have been July and
Speaker 1: a BLM mob surrounded her car, started banging on it
Speaker 1: and started trying to pull at her door handles. They
Speaker 1: called her a white privilege bitch. And this is all
Speaker 1: a matter of court record now, and she drove away
Speaker 1: and she got scared. She had her daughter, her adult
Speaker 1: daughter in the car with her as well, and she
Speaker 1: drove away. If you're threatening somebody and you stand in
Speaker 1: front of their car and you are a part of
Speaker 1: a mob of people, they are not under obligation, even
Speaker 1: if it's about social justice. They're not under obligation to
Speaker 1: sit there and get beaten to death or see what
Speaker 1: the mob wants to do with them. I mean, this
Speaker 1: is the most fundamental then. This is going back to
Speaker 1: you know, biblical law, basic human natural law. This isn't
Speaker 1: just about statue. You have a god given right to
Speaker 1: defend yourself against aggressors and BLM in this case, we're aggressors.
Speaker 1: You don't have to sit there and wait and see.
Speaker 1: You know, if someone pulls a gun on you and
Speaker 1: you have a firearm and you get an opening and
Speaker 1: you pull it and you shoot them dead, guess what
Speaker 1: that self defense. You don't have to wait till they
Speaker 1: shoot you. The threat alone, and the credible belief of
Speaker 1: a of an imminent lethal threat to your person is
Speaker 1: enough to use force. Driving your car away is what
Speaker 1: any person would do under the circumstances if they were
Speaker 1: approaching it rationally. And here's the thing in New York City.
Speaker 1: They're charging her, and they're giving her an option. She's
Speaker 1: turned down a plea deal for a second time. They're
Speaker 1: giving her an option of six hours of community service,
Speaker 1: one year driver's license suspension, or if she goes to trial,
Speaker 1: she faces up to seven years in prison. You know
Speaker 1: what this is. They know she didn't do anything wrong.
Speaker 1: They want her to bend the knee. They want her
Speaker 1: to bend the knee of this what this is all about.
Speaker 1: And they don't want to have BLM activists and anti
Speaker 1: police activists and left wing lunatics and all these pressure
Speaker 1: groups and the Democrats. Oh my gosh, it's such an injustice.
Speaker 1: Look what she did to the BLM protests or some
Speaker 1: of them were injured. Nobody was killed, fortunately some of
Speaker 1: them were injured by the car driving away. But to that,
Speaker 1: I just say, don't be barbarians who are threatening to
Speaker 1: harm somebody who's done nothing to you. You remember, if
Speaker 1: you're in a car, the car is a useful escape
Speaker 1: tool and even a weapon if it has to be,
Speaker 1: if you're willing to move it. The moment somebody gets
Speaker 1: into your car and attacks you, you're trapped. You are
Speaker 1: trapped now right. They get that door rope and they
Speaker 1: lay hands on you, and you're not able to now
Speaker 1: get out of there and escape. You're in the worst
Speaker 1: possible position to defend yourself, got a seatbelt on, probably
Speaker 1: got people reaching and grabbing you. So she's not taking
Speaker 1: the plea deal because she believes that there's still some
Speaker 1: principle involved here. And I'm worried for her. There's gonna
Speaker 1: be a jury trial in New York City. You get
Speaker 1: enough MSNBC watching libs who are so scared of all
Speaker 1: the all the white supremacy and Donald Trump, and they're
Speaker 1: just so worried about the destruction of social justice and
Speaker 1: all this other stuff that cops are the bad guys.
Speaker 1: The crime problem isn't the issue. It's the cops are
Speaker 1: too rough on people. You get enough jurors who believe
Speaker 1: that stuff, and she might go away for a few years.
Speaker 1: So I totally respect her principle. I think she's completely
Speaker 1: in the right here, but I wouldn't want to roll
Speaker 1: the dice. If she were my mom, I would tell
Speaker 1: her to take the deal, but also I would respect
Speaker 1: it if she didn't. I would respect it if she didn't.
Speaker 1: People say, oh, but how can you have principles? Look,
Speaker 1: seven years a long time, it's spent in prison, and
Speaker 1: the state is showing everybody. We already know how unjust
Speaker 1: this whole thing is just by the treatment of her already.
Speaker 1: So there you have it. I hope that she manages
Speaker 1: to get through all this and is able to be
Speaker 1: found not guilty. The fact that they're even charging her
Speaker 1: at all is heinous. But it's all politics these days,
Speaker 1: and the prosecutor's office, as you know, Democrats in charge.
Speaker 1: It's just a question of how is this going to
Speaker 1: play on CNA and the law, rule of law. It
Speaker 1: is in short supply these days. You know it, and
Speaker 1: I know it, Archie. That's gonna be it for today.
