Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom hut. Trump puts in place
Speaker 1: a ban on immigration. Georgia is reopening soon, as as
Speaker 1: North Carolina will there be a p PP deal. Also,
Speaker 1: states are running out of unemployment funds, reports of Kim
Speaker 1: Jong UN's demise scene perhaps exaggerated, and oil price the
Speaker 1: lowest in history. That in more coming up. Buck Sexton
Speaker 1: Mission coding the news and disseminating information with actionable intelligence.
Speaker 1: Mag no mistake. American great Here a great American again.
Speaker 1: This is the buck Sexton Show. Thomas Cia analysts, I
Speaker 1: can speak to three hours without a phone call. Try
Speaker 1: doing that sometimes. No governors are of use. The country
Speaker 1: are looking forward to Phase one and announcing plans for
Speaker 1: an economic resurgence. We're going to have a resurgence too,
Speaker 1: at a time when millions of American workers and families
Speaker 1: are struggling with the financial consequences of the virus. It's
Speaker 1: critical to continue the medical war while reopening the economy
Speaker 1: in a safe and responsible fashion. During this time, Americans
Speaker 1: must maintain strict vigilance and continue to practice careful hygiene,
Speaker 1: social distancing, and the other protective measures that we have
Speaker 1: outlined and that everybody has become very familiar with welcome
Speaker 1: buck Sex and show everyone. President Trump continuing to hold
Speaker 1: the line here, pushing forward for reopening where it makes sense,
Speaker 1: where states feel that they are in a position to
Speaker 1: safely begin to return to business and allow for the
Speaker 1: economic activity that is necessary, as we all know, necessary
Speaker 1: to fund not just our day to day lives and
Speaker 1: make sure there's food on the shelves, but necessary to
Speaker 1: make sure that hospitals have staff and personnel. There's a
Speaker 1: lot of steak with the economic contraction that we're seeing
Speaker 1: in contractions way too gentle a word. We are in
Speaker 1: a depression. We are in a depression. Let's be very
Speaker 1: clear about that. It might be a short lived depression.
Speaker 1: We will find out soon enough whether or not that's
Speaker 1: the case, but we are certainly in something of a depression.
Speaker 1: You look at the numbers, there's no way around that. Georgia, Tennessee,
Speaker 1: and South Carolina are trying to reopen right now or
Speaker 1: in the process of reopening. I should say, there's different
Speaker 1: levels for different states, and now is when you're going
Speaker 1: to start to see unbelievable, just gross wrong politicization of
Speaker 1: this issue from people who look, we're at the point
Speaker 1: where there are. There's not a small all number of
Speaker 1: individuals who are being very loud about what they things
Speaker 1: should happen here, who want to see failure in states
Speaker 1: reopening so that they can be right and Trump and
Speaker 1: the GOP and the reopen voices, including millions and millions
Speaker 1: of Democrats who don't have jobs right now either, who
Speaker 1: I'm sure care more about having a job and having
Speaker 1: a paycheck than they do about whatever they're saying on MSNBC.
Speaker 1: There are people who are rooting for this to not work.
Speaker 1: It's very clear on social media. It's very clear from
Speaker 1: the way that this is being set up by so
Speaker 1: many people in the media that their primary goal here
Speaker 1: is to create the the trap for any governor of
Speaker 1: if you if you open and there are any there's
Speaker 1: any more outbreaks of the virus in your state, and
Speaker 1: there's any additional deaths, those deaths are on you, That
Speaker 1: blood is on your hand. We'll hold on a second.
Speaker 1: Flattening the curve was never we were never told that
Speaker 1: flattening the curve was supposed to defeat the virus. And
Speaker 1: it's entirety because it can't, and we know that we
Speaker 1: can't continue the lockdown forever, so there is no future
Speaker 1: in which there are no more cases of this virus
Speaker 1: and there are no more deaths from this virus until
Speaker 1: we get to a vaccine or herd immunity, whichever comes first.
Speaker 1: Everyone keeps assuming we'll be at a vaccine in eighteen months.
Speaker 1: I'm not so confident. How is that vaccine for the
Speaker 1: various strains of the common cold coming along right? I mean,
Speaker 1: I think there's going to be a tremendous focus on this.
Speaker 1: There is a focus on this right now, but we
Speaker 1: don't know. We don't have a SARS vaccine. They would
Speaker 1: say that SARS disappeared anyway. It's a very complicated thing.
Speaker 1: There's also this story out that you have thirty different
Speaker 1: according to one study linked on the Drudge Report, thirty
Speaker 1: different strains of this There's already mutations that are occurring
Speaker 1: with the pandemic of this scale. That wouldn't seem it
Speaker 1: wouldn't seemed to be surprising. There's some mutation, although most
Speaker 1: mutation is minor. We've all been led to believe that
Speaker 1: mutation is like the X men, that the dramatic changes
Speaker 1: to the genetic code. That's usually a vast majority of
Speaker 1: the time. It's not the case, but still herd immunity
Speaker 1: would come at the at the long term price of
Speaker 1: a lot of lives, and we know that, so we
Speaker 1: didn't do that. Instead, we did the flattening the curve strategy.
Speaker 1: We were told that was to prevent the overwhelming of
Speaker 1: our hospital system. Our hospitals are not overwhelmed anywhere, including
Speaker 1: here in New York, where there's a pretty substantial drop
Speaker 1: off in new cases and also in fatalities day to day.
Speaker 1: You know, fatalities are down about forty percent. New cases
Speaker 1: are down more than more than half. I think they're
Speaker 1: down now sixty or seventy percent day to day. I
Speaker 1: think the height was around three thousand, and now you've
Speaker 1: got a little over a thousand a day, perhaps new
Speaker 1: or twelve hundred a day, something like that. So you've
Speaker 1: had a dramatic change in the trajectory here in the
Speaker 1: worst hit place. And we're told that this is all
Speaker 1: because of the flatten the curve strategy. But okay, well
Speaker 1: then we've done it. If we extend this out, we're
Speaker 1: going to dramatically, dramatically add to our economic pain and
Speaker 1: the dislocation and the problems that no one really at
Speaker 1: this point could even begin to fathom what the long
Speaker 1: term consequences would be of shutting down our economy for months.
Speaker 1: This has never happened before. This is Remember, we're running
Speaker 1: an experiment that has never been done before in human history.
Speaker 1: This has never been done a nationwide economic lockdown and
Speaker 1: just a general lockdown, societal lockdown of over three hundred
Speaker 1: million people right now. At least a third of the
Speaker 1: world they're estimating is under some form of lockdown, a
Speaker 1: third of the globe, a couple of billion people. We
Speaker 1: trust the people in charge public policy to make smart
Speaker 1: decisions about all of this. Well, there is going to
Speaker 1: be a lot of finger pointing, and there's going to
Speaker 1: be a lot of people out there. There are going
Speaker 1: to be a lot of people out there who are
Speaker 1: very dishonest in the way they friend this whole issue.
Speaker 1: There will be more deaths from COVID nineteen no matter
Speaker 1: what we do. In fact, if the government said we
Speaker 1: don't care about the economy, everyone has to stay home
Speaker 1: on pain of imprisonment, there would still be people who
Speaker 1: would get this because we have essential workers that the
Speaker 1: government says are allowed to continue, and we need people
Speaker 1: to stock the grocery stores. We have people that are
Speaker 1: driving trucks to get food to the grocery stores. We
Speaker 1: have healthcare personnel. I mean, hospitals are pretty much the
Speaker 1: worst place you can be when it comes to the
Speaker 1: transmission of this. The highest risk is going to be
Speaker 1: in a hospital where are COVID patients. So no matter what,
Speaker 1: there are going to be additional cases, and the moment
Speaker 1: that you reopen a society, there'll be greater risk. But
Speaker 1: now is where Now's where we start to see who
Speaker 1: is willing to have an honest and adult and serious
Speaker 1: conversation about this massively important and consequential public policy issue,
Speaker 1: and who's a hack who really seeks to do the
Speaker 1: bidding of the left and the Democratic Party above all else,
Speaker 1: saving our economy, saving our way of life, and saving
Speaker 1: lives because all these things are intertwined. There is no
Speaker 1: lockdown until cure strategy. It does not exist. It has
Speaker 1: never existed. And so then what we're hearing from Fauci
Speaker 1: and these others right now about the need for additional testing,
Speaker 1: testing would be helpful. Testing does not prevent the spread
Speaker 1: of the disease, nor does it cure the disease, nor
Speaker 1: does it mean that there won't be people who continue
Speaker 1: to get the disease. So it's it's a useful tool
Speaker 1: in mitigation, but there are limitations on it, and we're
Speaker 1: being misled and I'm seeing some docs have finally had it.
Speaker 1: You know, this false consensus. Remember, science is not about consensus.
Speaker 1: Is about demonstrable, provable results that can be replicated by
Speaker 1: others under the same conditions. You know, when you mix together,
Speaker 1: what's in the blue tube, what's in the yellow tube,
Speaker 1: what do you get in the the you know the
Speaker 1: last tube. Is it the same for every person? Or
Speaker 1: does it well, then that's then that's science. Right. If
Speaker 1: it's a different thing every time somebody does it, well,
Speaker 1: then we got to figure out why. It doesn't matter
Speaker 1: if somebody tells you it's the same. If it's not right.
Speaker 1: This is science is supposed to be about the scientific method,
Speaker 1: experimentation and results that can be replicated. Instead, what we
Speaker 1: have now is a false and constantly shifting consensus. This
Speaker 1: is what you must do because all the smart people
Speaker 1: say it, every two weeks seems to change and all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, the smart people, the experts are telling
Speaker 1: this very different things. And I don't just throw this
Speaker 1: in there because it's kind of amusing to think about
Speaker 1: how wrong they were. We've now seen the lowest oil
Speaker 1: price recorded. We had for certainly when I was in college,
Speaker 1: and for for decades we've had people talking about how
Speaker 1: we're running out of oil. This was a thing you
Speaker 1: would hear. Experts would say this, we're running out of oil.
Speaker 1: Now we have so much oil, We've used more oil.
Speaker 1: There's great there was until this happened. You know, greater
Speaker 1: global demand for oil than there had been ten, fifteen,
Speaker 1: twenty years ago by a lot. And now we can't
Speaker 1: even Not only do we have a low price for oil,
Speaker 1: we're running out of places to store it. And experts,
Speaker 1: the smartest people, the people that you're supposed to listen
Speaker 1: to a not question, they told you that that we
Speaker 1: were going to run out of this and that's why
Speaker 1: we needed to switch to renewables in a crash course,
Speaker 1: you know, asap, whatever it takes, all hands on deck,
Speaker 1: got to get those windmills up and solar panels, Gotta
Speaker 1: set up as many ugly wind farms as possible. Queens
Speaker 1: and arts for migratory fouls like to call them just
Speaker 1: chopping up birds day and night all the time. But yeah,
Speaker 1: otherwise we're gonna run out of oil. That's where we
Speaker 1: are now. The experts are telling us that we need
Speaker 1: to just stay at our homes until they say we
Speaker 1: can come out. No, no, that's not a good idea.
Speaker 1: We are going to have to take risk as a society.
Speaker 1: I was willing to say this early on. I've been
Speaker 1: saying it all along, and I received a tremendous viciousness
Speaker 1: from the left for saying that. We you know, for
Speaker 1: opposing the extension of the shutdown. I've always thought that
Speaker 1: this was a bad idea. I thought that two weeks
Speaker 1: of pause maybe to get you know, I was on
Speaker 1: board for a two week pause to let our hospitals
Speaker 1: and systems and everything get better set up, you know,
Speaker 1: to deal with the incoming But the thirty day extension
Speaker 1: was more than a thirty day extension was Oh well,
Speaker 1: maybe maybe if we just keep waiting this out, the
Speaker 1: virus will fade away. It's not going to happen. You
Speaker 1: know what controls this virus, individual action, mitigation and playing
Speaker 1: the numbers, engaging in intelligent behavior. But you know what
Speaker 1: else is necessary a functioning economy and a functioning society
Speaker 1: with people who are not by the millions fall into
Speaker 1: depression and despair and alcohol abuse and suicide. Okay, that's
Speaker 1: also a part of this fight, and that this has
Speaker 1: turned so very clearly political where I just know, I
Speaker 1: mean Democrats are anti reopen, anti reopen. That's where that's
Speaker 1: what they've turned into based on what they think that
Speaker 1: this is sustainable. You know, we don't all work for
Speaker 1: BuzzFeed and get to sit on our couch with our
Speaker 1: four roommates out in bedsty in Brooklyn and you know,
Speaker 1: bang away on a keyboard and make some catalysticals and
Speaker 1: put some trash up on the internet and get you know,
Speaker 1: our paychecks into us every month. People are saying to me, oh,
Speaker 1: you're used to have a job. Yeah, I still have
Speaker 1: a job. Does anybody really think that the media industry
Speaker 1: in general, especially those of us like me who it's
Speaker 1: a very simple equation. You build audience, and the audience
Speaker 1: then responds to your sponsors, to the products that your
Speaker 1: sponsors are selling on the air. Everybody's hurting right now.
Speaker 1: Who's in that who's in that game? Everyone's going to
Speaker 1: be in rough shape. You know. There's already been furloughs
Speaker 1: that have gone on at a bunch of the major
Speaker 1: media companies. But you know, if you're a blogger, you
Speaker 1: used to sit at home. You don't could pay that
Speaker 1: much anyway, and you know, maybe you just kind of
Speaker 1: continue doing what you're doing. So easy to sneer at people.
Speaker 1: Not quite as easy as it is, perhaps for Nancy
Speaker 1: Pelosi and her artist an ice cream by the way,
Speaker 1: the ad, the ad that then, I don't know if
Speaker 1: the RNC put it out or but I saw Brad
Speaker 1: Pascal share it on Twitter. There's an ad out there
Speaker 1: right now of Nancy Pelosi. It is just devastating because
Speaker 1: because it's so true, it shows who these democrats really are.
Speaker 1: It just intersperses people who are saying, who look who
Speaker 1: have a look of shock on their faces because their livelihood,
Speaker 1: their day to day purpose of going to work and
Speaker 1: providing for themselves and their families and being productive members
Speaker 1: of society, that's been taken from them, taken from them
Speaker 1: by the government. We did not have to do this.
Speaker 1: Don't let them tell you that this was a decision
Speaker 1: that was made. They they managed to unite, put maximum
Speaker 1: pressure on Trump, potentially set it up so that if
Speaker 1: he didn't do this, he was a mass murderer. I mean,
Speaker 1: they just they all the insanity of the Russia collusion,
Speaker 1: and Trump is hitler, and Trump is a traitor, and
Speaker 1: he Prutent's puppet, all that same craziness. All of a sudden,
Speaker 1: now they could use a body, an actual body count
Speaker 1: as as a big tool to just bludgeon the president
Speaker 1: into doing what they said he had to do here,
Speaker 1: which was a shutdown. The economy number not just the
Speaker 1: two weeks. The two weeks we could we could have
Speaker 1: been okay, vast majority of small businesses could handle it,
Speaker 1: and then we'd be able to get them cash. And so,
Speaker 1: you know, the two weeks was manageable. Six weeks is brutal.
Speaker 1: Ten weeks. We're not going to have the same economy
Speaker 1: after this. I don't care what they say. So this
Speaker 1: plan that some states seem to have, Yeah, well let's
Speaker 1: see where we are in June. No, this is the
Speaker 1: wrong that's the wrong path for us to be on.
Speaker 1: And the public health, public health experts and the public
Speaker 1: health apparatus in general has dramatically underperformer and let us down.
Speaker 1: If people are gonna you know, I'm somebody who comes
Speaker 1: out of a CIA background, and we got trashed and
Speaker 1: I wasn't even there when it happened. We got trash
Speaker 1: for missing nine to eleven, and then we got trash
Speaker 1: for being wrong on WMD a lot. And you know
Speaker 1: what we deserved it. Those institutions deserved all of the
Speaker 1: all of the criticism they received as a result of that.
Speaker 1: Our public health experts stretching into the middle of February,
Speaker 1: late February, we're telling us that this wasn't a big
Speaker 1: deal and it was going to be fine. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: know they can say China lied, but you know, anybody
Speaker 1: could have just said, well, this is what China is saying.
Speaker 1: So I guess it's okay. This is the public people
Speaker 1: are trying to make this Trump's nine to eleven. That's
Speaker 1: really what you see the political movement is all about
Speaker 1: right now from the left. But this is actually our
Speaker 1: public health systems nine to eleven. You know, was it
Speaker 1: was it George Bush's fault that they didn't figure out
Speaker 1: that that the plot to run planes into the Pentagon
Speaker 1: and it would have been also the Capitol Building and
Speaker 1: the World Trade Center? Was it? Was it really Bush's fault?
Speaker 1: Or was it the FBI? A lot of FBI fault
Speaker 1: to go around, by the way, and the CIA and
Speaker 1: the other intelligence community that weren't really doing their job.
Speaker 1: And the commander chief can only execute on what these
Speaker 1: institutions are able, are able to do, you know, or
Speaker 1: are able to put forward. And here I mean the
Speaker 1: public the public health system in this country at the
Speaker 1: policy level, again separated from the first line providers, doctors
Speaker 1: and nurses. We've got great We've got great healthcare personnel.
Speaker 1: I'm saying, the policy makers and the agency, the regulatory
Speaker 1: chiefs inside the CC, the NIH completely failed, completely failed
Speaker 1: on this issue. And now we've set this up so
Speaker 1: that the only way that you can avoid criticism is
Speaker 1: continue to listen to them. What all they're telling you
Speaker 1: is just basically hide until we say it's safe to
Speaker 1: come out. America. Well, some of America is willing to
Speaker 1: go outside and take the risk. Anybody wants to hide
Speaker 1: under their bed forever is allowed to do so. But
Speaker 1: other people want to open businesses and try to live
Speaker 1: life again. What's really the alternative? I know it's all
Speaker 1: you want Grandma to die and this idiocy that's out
Speaker 1: there all the time. What is the alternative? They don't
Speaker 1: have an answer. Well, as long as it destroys Trump.
Speaker 1: That's what matters most. You're in the Freedom mind. This
Speaker 1: is the Buck Sex and Show podcast. I think history
Speaker 1: is going to judge him very harshly and put him
Speaker 1: in the same camp as Gerald Ford and even Herbert Hoover,
Speaker 1: who ignored what the depression was doing to people and
Speaker 1: failed to bring the country back. That's where this president
Speaker 1: is now, and he should kiss his reelection goodbye if
Speaker 1: he thinks he's going to be able to convince the
Speaker 1: American people to want four more years of a guy
Speaker 1: who can't even get the basics right. That's what this
Speaker 1: is all about, isn't it. They tell you it's about
Speaker 1: saving life, saving lives and doing what's best for the country.
Speaker 1: But Democrats, they see this all is just an opportunity.
Speaker 1: They're treating it is one. There's the mayor of New York,
Speaker 1: a complete ignor, ramis a joke of a leader, a jerk,
Speaker 1: and he's already saying, yeah, Trump Trump is it shouldn't
Speaker 1: win reelection because of this. What was Trump supposed to
Speaker 1: do that he didn't do. I mean, we've we've already
Speaker 1: had this narrative that they keep they keep pushing it.
Speaker 1: What was Trump supposed to do didn't do oh because
Speaker 1: he was a little too positive sounding in the early
Speaker 1: days about this. That means he shouldn't get real he
Speaker 1: shouldn't get re elected. We're we're going to do more
Speaker 1: of a full accounting on the show today of what
Speaker 1: reality is here versus what the left says it is
Speaker 1: about Trump's response. Thanks for listening to the bus sets
Speaker 1: and show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcast, the
Speaker 1: iHeart Radio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. We're
Speaker 1: seeing with these protests crop up all across the country
Speaker 1: right now, including the protests in Texas and other places
Speaker 1: where they're saying fire Anthony faucshi Faucchiet is wrong. They're
Speaker 1: resisting these stay at home orders from governors. What's your
Speaker 1: message back to those protesters. Yeah, yeah, I mean I
Speaker 1: think you know. The message is that clearly this is
Speaker 1: something that is hurting from the standpoint of economics, from
Speaker 1: the standpoint of things that have nothing to do with
Speaker 1: the virus. But unless we get the virus under control,
Speaker 1: the real recovery economically is not going to happen. So
Speaker 1: what you do if you jump the gun and go
Speaker 1: into a situation where you have a big spike, You're
Speaker 1: going to set yourself back. So as painful as it
Speaker 1: is to go by the careful guidelines of gradually phasing
Speaker 1: into a reopening, it's going to backfire. That's the problem.
Speaker 1: See Anthony Fauci is not a public policy expert. He
Speaker 1: is an infectious disease expert. So his thoughts on the
Speaker 1: protests are not nearly as insightful or Worthwhile I say
Speaker 1: his thoughts on the our level infection spread rate of
Speaker 1: different pathogens, we do not expect somebody who's an infectious
Speaker 1: disease expert or doctor to have any special insight into
Speaker 1: what is necessary for the functioning of our republic. And
Speaker 1: that is what is at stake here. If we continue
Speaker 1: to do this until we have the disease under control,
Speaker 1: how is that going to happen? You know? Finally, now
Speaker 1: people are willing to ask questions about until we get
Speaker 1: the testing gets the point where are we going to
Speaker 1: be testing everybody every two weeks? There are doctors in
Speaker 1: Italy who have I've cited one on the show, but
Speaker 1: they were saying, look, you know, okay, so we test
Speaker 1: guess what. By the time you figure out somebody you
Speaker 1: know has this you may already have spread it to
Speaker 1: a number of people. By the time you track them down,
Speaker 1: you could already have a new cluster. So, yeah, the
Speaker 1: testing is useful. People want to know if they have this,
Speaker 1: and they should know if they are going to be
Speaker 1: exposing others to it. But how it Testing is not
Speaker 1: a cure. And this is where we so so you know,
Speaker 1: we keep hearing like we're being told certain things, and
Speaker 1: people are hearing something else. They hear, oh, we need
Speaker 1: are testing to get to a certain capacity, and then
Speaker 1: that that somehow translates into well, once testing is at
Speaker 1: a certain capacity, we won't be at risk of spikes
Speaker 1: and of deaths from this. That's not true. That's not true.
Speaker 1: Even if testing is at the level that Fauci says
Speaker 1: it has to be, there there will still be people.
Speaker 1: There will still be people who get this, who die
Speaker 1: from this. And that's just the reality of our situation
Speaker 1: right now. And I'm wondering when somebody in the public
Speaker 1: health sector, you know, we have to start talking about that.
Speaker 1: Everyone discusses, Oh, you know, we're gonna protect life. We're
Speaker 1: gonna protect life. Yeah, we know, we're doing the best
Speaker 1: we can. People are also going to continue to die
Speaker 1: from this virus. That's gonna happen. That's gonna be true
Speaker 1: in two weeks, it's gonna be true in two months,
Speaker 1: it might be true in two years. So can we
Speaker 1: understand and so now we as a society to figure
Speaker 1: out how do we live with this going on in
Speaker 1: the background. There is no short term reality of a
Speaker 1: world that we can live in. A world literally a world,
Speaker 1: I mean, never mind just America, anywhere where there's not
Speaker 1: the possibility of and the threat of this virus and
Speaker 1: we don't see continuing infections and some people succumbing to it.
Speaker 1: We do need to have that honest conversation, it seems
Speaker 1: to me at some point, especially when you have people
Speaker 1: that are now claiming that there's a recklessness in wanting
Speaker 1: to reopen. You know what's really reckless living in this
Speaker 1: fantasy that we can just keep having business shutdown and
Speaker 1: we can have the cessation of economic activity, the destruction
Speaker 1: of lives, the destruction of futures. My friends, I know
Speaker 1: that we were told that we're all going to get
Speaker 1: Money's gonna be okay. I mean, there are hopefully going
Speaker 1: to fix it soon with this PPP getting additional funding
Speaker 1: ninety five percent of the businesses that needed the money
Speaker 1: didn't get it because they ran out of money. Do
Speaker 1: you know what that tells us? I mean, first of all,
Speaker 1: it's it's a reminder that the government is not nearly
Speaker 1: as efficient, intelligent, effective as we'd all, perhaps especially in
Speaker 1: a crisis like to believe it is. I mean, it's
Speaker 1: a reminder of government government sloth, and an aptitude and inability.
Speaker 1: It's a reminder of those things. But it also tells
Speaker 1: us that people whose job it is to understand what
Speaker 1: the implications of our situation really are right now, they
Speaker 1: hugely undershot how much economic devastation would be created in
Speaker 1: the first few weeks of this. Right we had all
Speaker 1: the people together, Okay, how much money are we going
Speaker 1: to need for this? And I'm also wondering how it
Speaker 1: could be possible that they run out of the first
Speaker 1: you know whatever, it is, the first hundreds of billions
Speaker 1: for this plan, but only only five percent of business
Speaker 1: has actually got a loan. And now they're going to
Speaker 1: throw one hundreds of billions of more at it, and
Speaker 1: that's going to cover the other ninety five percent of
Speaker 1: small businesses that need loans, and they haven't and here
Speaker 1: here's another big problem. And I'm getting a little ahead
Speaker 1: of myself because I wanted to talk about this later
Speaker 1: in the show. The way that this is structured, all
Speaker 1: you have to do is say you're affected by COVID nineteen. Well,
Speaker 1: anybody in a business environment who can is going to say,
Speaker 1: you know, even if I've got a capital reserve here,
Speaker 1: and I could probably ride this out for six months
Speaker 1: a year, which is not a lot of businesses, by
Speaker 1: the way, But I'm saying even if somebody was in
Speaker 1: that in that position, they say, the government's going to
Speaker 1: give me a loan that I don't have to pay back,
Speaker 1: you know, business could turn really bad for me in
Speaker 1: a month or two, or who knows where the world's going.
Speaker 1: I'd rather have the money. That's what's obviously happened here.
Speaker 1: They couldn't figure this out that you you should have
Speaker 1: to show, you know. They for individuals, if you made
Speaker 1: more than whatever was two years ago, made more than
Speaker 1: one hundred grand, didn't get any money. But for businesses
Speaker 1: they gave you know, Shakeshack raised one hundred and fifty
Speaker 1: million dollars earlier in the year, and they got a
Speaker 1: ten million dollar government loan because and they're allowed, it's legal.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying. Look, and I understand from shake Shack's
Speaker 1: perspective and from these other restaurants, they're saying, we got staff,
Speaker 1: we got problems. Government's given out free money, not nearly
Speaker 1: enough free money. Though the all of the projections about this, Nobody,
Speaker 1: nobody in the government really has any understanding of what
Speaker 1: this what this kind of cessation of activity does to
Speaker 1: actual underlying wealth in an economy and the real power
Speaker 1: and faith of a of a currency. They have no idea.
Speaker 1: This has never been done before. But let me go
Speaker 1: back to the reopening here for a second, because Georgia,
Speaker 1: and I want to tell you this. You know, I
Speaker 1: put I put my money where my mouth is on
Speaker 1: things like this. I try to always live according to
Speaker 1: everything that I tell you, both in terms of principle,
Speaker 1: and you know, I try to be honest about my
Speaker 1: shortcomings and tell you where I need improvement, whether it's
Speaker 1: on political issues that I am I waiver on or
Speaker 1: just personal stuff right, whatever it may be. Uh. You know,
Speaker 1: I'm I just last night signed an agreement to go
Speaker 1: give a speech in North Carolina in June. I'm I'm
Speaker 1: going down to North Carolina. I mean, as of now,
Speaker 1: unless there's some state law that bars me or something,
Speaker 1: you know that that could happen, right, But as of now,
Speaker 1: assuming the order is lifted and travel is I'm going
Speaker 1: down there, because what am I gonna do. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: tell everybody we need to reopen America, and then I'm
Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna hide in my apartment in New York
Speaker 1: and not go anywhere ever and not see people and
Speaker 1: not be a part of the reopening myself. I mean,
Speaker 1: I really thought about this last night. I sat there
Speaker 1: and I have a the person who's reached out to
Speaker 1: me for his group. You know, he's a marine and
Speaker 1: I've known him for for over thirty years. We've been
Speaker 1: friends for over thirty years since we're little kids, and
Speaker 1: we reached out to me, and I just you know,
Speaker 1: we had a quick chat on the phone and I said, look,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm I'm I want to come down. I said,
Speaker 1: do you think do you think your people, meaning you know,
Speaker 1: the audience that you're going to bring to this a
Speaker 1: Republicans in North Carolina, do you think they'll show because
Speaker 1: you know, uh, you know, that's that's my big concern
Speaker 1: is that this could be. And he said, Buck, well,
Speaker 1: you know, if we have to sit chairs apart, or
Speaker 1: you know, whatever we have to do to comply, we'll do.
Speaker 1: But I'm telling you this right now. My people want
Speaker 1: to get America back up on its feet and going.
Speaker 1: And they're going to show up to a GOP a
Speaker 1: GOP rally like this, and and they're going to be
Speaker 1: there for a speech. That's what he told me. And
Speaker 1: I said, well, look, as long as we're you know,
Speaker 1: within the letter of the law on this one, if
Speaker 1: your people are showing up, I'm showing up. So I'm
Speaker 1: going to be there. I signed last night, so I'll
Speaker 1: be going to North Carolina to give a speech. And
Speaker 1: I said, look, if there's five people in that audience,
Speaker 1: you know, if the social distancing mean there's only there's
Speaker 1: only ten people that are allowed to show up, whatever
Speaker 1: it is, right, whatever you have to do, that's going
Speaker 1: to keep. If one person is going to show up,
Speaker 1: I'm going to show up. If they're gonna be if
Speaker 1: someone's willing to sit out there in that audience, and
Speaker 1: I'm hoping it's going to be more like, you know,
Speaker 1: three or four hundred people. But if anyone's willing to
Speaker 1: show up. Then then I'll be there, and it will
Speaker 1: in June, we'll know more about how things are going.
Speaker 1: But I'm just saying, I'm I'm trying to prepare for
Speaker 1: a future in which we start to get back to
Speaker 1: life as we've known it. And yeah, there are there
Speaker 1: are going to be some risks in that. There are
Speaker 1: a risk to all of us. There's risk walking out
Speaker 1: your front door every day. We're seeing this now. Lives
Speaker 1: are saved. Lives have been saved by the lockdown, not
Speaker 1: just whether you want to talk about the COVID nineteen numbers,
Speaker 1: but from car accidents, from accidents of all kinds, way down,
Speaker 1: way down. And if somebody does, and I'm sure they
Speaker 1: will at some point when things come down, I'll do
Speaker 1: an analysis of this and we'll see that there are
Speaker 1: a lot of lives saved by telling people they have
Speaker 1: to stay in their homes. Yeah, but everyone has had
Speaker 1: to stay in their homes. We're giving up weeks and
Speaker 1: weeks of our lives. You know, the only thing you
Speaker 1: can't the only commodity that you can't get back, And
Speaker 1: this is a thing i've heard of Wall Street. The
Speaker 1: only thing that you can't get back that's tangible to
Speaker 1: you you can't get more of. You can't get more
Speaker 1: of is actually the phrase time. We are all living
Speaker 1: under various phases of house arrests right now, and the
Speaker 1: data doesn't support that this is even a good thing
Speaker 1: in the short term, never mind the long term. The
Speaker 1: data all the day that I'm seeing is that with
Speaker 1: personal mitigation measures, limitations on large crowds, don't use mass transportation.
Speaker 1: But you know, as long as you take the precautions
Speaker 1: that one can take without locking down entirely and not
Speaker 1: allowing for economic activity, you'd get very close to, if
Speaker 1: not exactly where we are in terms of the safety
Speaker 1: of the people in any society that was doing it.
Speaker 1: There's a very real, not to argument him, there's a
Speaker 1: lot of data to support that, but no one cares.
Speaker 1: Right lockdown, that's what we're doing. We're doing a lockdown
Speaker 1: because we've been told to do so. I mean people
Speaker 1: on the left that they've really been conditioned to just
Speaker 1: whatever the state says. You know, if the state says
Speaker 1: do ten jumping jacks, as long as it's not a
Speaker 1: you know, if it's a Republican telling them to do it,
Speaker 1: then they might have a question. But if it's just
Speaker 1: the state in general happy to do it whatever, whatever
Speaker 1: the government tells them. Stunning. But this is where we are,
Speaker 1: and you know, here here is a an epidemiologist who's going,
Speaker 1: you know, going after Governor Kemp here, who's saying he
Speaker 1: wants to start reopening his state soon in a matter
Speaker 1: of days for business and for some activities. I think
Speaker 1: Jim's will be open to man that would Wouldn't that
Speaker 1: be nice to look go to the gym again. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not I'm not like some some big
Speaker 1: Jim guy or something, but it's just nice to have
Speaker 1: that change of pace and deal with you know, your
Speaker 1: frustrations and everything that way and getting better shape. Play
Speaker 1: clip twenty. I've got Georgia on my mind tonight. Every
Speaker 1: epidemiologist in the country has been trained in Georgia at
Speaker 1: CDC or goes there. It's the mecca for epidemiologists. And
Speaker 1: I wonder what Governor Kemp is thinking. Georgia has twice
Speaker 1: as many cases per capita as California. It's in the
Speaker 1: top ten states for deaths. Number of deaths has doubled
Speaker 1: in the last week in Georgia. It's in the top
Speaker 1: ten states in the country. I don't understand it doesn't
Speaker 1: meet CDC's guidelines. He should just go down the block
Speaker 1: and go to sixteen hundred Clifton Road where CDC is
Speaker 1: and talk to the epidemiologists. And I don't think that
Speaker 1: they'd be very happy about this. Well, the epidemiologists don't
Speaker 1: have to answer the question for me. What happens when
Speaker 1: millions of people realize that the government can't actually put
Speaker 1: the economy back together again. Isn't allowing them, isn't allowing
Speaker 1: them to pay their bills, took their jobs away from them,
Speaker 1: and is now telling them they can't go outside and
Speaker 1: engage in basic human activities. How long do you think
Speaker 1: that holds together epidemiologists for a disease? Let's remember that
Speaker 1: at at a maximum right now, at a maximum based
Speaker 1: on all the numbers are seeing the Santa Clara study
Speaker 1: out of Germany, out of France, out of the homeless
Speaker 1: study out of Boston, the pregnant women with COVID nineteen
Speaker 1: here in New York, of the hospitals, I mean, at
Speaker 1: a at a maximum, this is going this is going
Speaker 1: to end up killing roughly one percent of the people
Speaker 1: who get it, but really the number is going to
Speaker 1: be much more like you know, point five or point
Speaker 1: three or point one. Now I'm not saying that's not
Speaker 1: a horrific death toll, but you also can't crush all
Speaker 1: of society for that that. That is fundamentally what people
Speaker 1: will not tell you right now, But that is where
Speaker 1: we are. That is what the public policy community. They're
Speaker 1: acting on this without being willing to say it otherwise, Well,
Speaker 1: then yeah, I guess if it's if it's if it
Speaker 1: saves just one life, then we shut down until there's
Speaker 1: a vaccine and we will not have a country left.
Speaker 1: So these epidemiology they can all sit around and talk
Speaker 1: with all, you know, Georgia, how could they do what
Speaker 1: they're doing? How long do they think this is? Do
Speaker 1: we want to wait a year? We think that's going
Speaker 1: to work out? Well, there's not going to be a
Speaker 1: lot of research done by epidemiologists that there are people
Speaker 1: out on the streets rioting. And if you think that
Speaker 1: that can happen, just look at where we're heading economically
Speaker 1: right now and the strain we're putting on our entire
Speaker 1: financial system. You're in the freedom hunt. This is the
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show. Podcast. These people are being egged on
Speaker 1: by right wing media and people like Alex Jones and
Speaker 1: Rush Limbaugh. And why are you bringing guns to a rally?
Speaker 1: You want to call yourself protesters? Leave your guns home.
Speaker 1: Those are terrorists who bring guns to things, to rallies.
Speaker 1: I don't trust that at all. And to listen to
Speaker 1: these people, don't trust them at all. Why are they
Speaker 1: bringing guds to a rally? I mean, my doorman and
Speaker 1: my butler and my maid. They don't carry gardens. I
Speaker 1: gotta say, how many how many acts of violence have
Speaker 1: there been from protesters who want to end the lockdowns out?
Speaker 1: Let's right? The answer is zero. Remember when we were
Speaker 1: worried about insurrection because they were a bunch of Second
Speaker 1: Amendment protesters who were gathering together in the state capital
Speaker 1: of Virginia, and a lot of them had a lot
Speaker 1: of them had legally carried legally owned firearms on them.
Speaker 1: Zero acts of violence? Do they do they ever even notice,
Speaker 1: they ever even care that they propagate all this hysteria
Speaker 1: in the media, And well, really, as we know, gun
Speaker 1: ownership has just become a it's just an issue of
Speaker 1: ideological separation now for so many people. If you own guns.
Speaker 1: If you believe in the Second Amendment, you're a certain
Speaker 1: kind of person, and it's the kind of person that
Speaker 1: the left doesn't like. But on the issue of the lockdowns,
Speaker 1: we are seeing such a divide in our society. And
Speaker 1: I'm somebody who know, at least for now, I mean
Speaker 1: I am, I am well, I'm lucky, and I'm unlucky
Speaker 1: in the circumstances. I mean, look, we're anyone who has
Speaker 1: their health right now, let's start with that. You're lucky, okay,
Speaker 1: if you're healthy, you don't have this, you don't have
Speaker 1: an immediate family member with this. You're lucky health wise,
Speaker 1: all right, But then there's the economics of it. In
Speaker 1: that sense, I'm also lucky. I still have a job.
Speaker 1: It is absolutely crushing. It is a gut punch to
Speaker 1: think about all the people who listen to this show,
Speaker 1: all the people across the country who do not have
Speaker 1: a job, who do not have money in the bank.
Speaker 1: And I know what it's like to not have any
Speaker 1: money in the bank. It is incredibly anxiety producing. I've
Speaker 1: had that as an adult. I think I had, like
Speaker 1: you know, one point, you know, a couple of hundred
Speaker 1: bucks in the bank. I mean, it was just not good.
Speaker 1: But I didn't have a family to feed it, I
Speaker 1: don't have a mortgage to pay. And that was because
Speaker 1: of choices that I had made. It wasn't for It
Speaker 1: wasn't because the government came along and said you're not
Speaker 1: how to have a job anymore. The rage that's building
Speaker 1: up is real and it is justified. Thanks for listening
Speaker 1: to The Bus Sesson Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on

Speaker 1: The President made this announcement, albeit on Twitter, that he
Speaker 1: was going to sign an executive order suspending all immigration
Speaker 1: to the United States. Your reaction, Look, I think it's
Speaker 1: another diversion. The agencies don't even know what it is.
Speaker 1: No one knows what it is. Last yesterday or the
Speaker 1: day before, we were talking about who I think the
Speaker 1: President ort to stop these diversions. What we really need
Speaker 1: is a focus on testing, a focus on contact tracing
Speaker 1: so that we can open up again. And that should
Speaker 1: be the focus. That's what we've been We've been negotiating
Speaker 1: this over night, and I don't think we should be
Speaker 1: lost in diversions that have little to do with getting
Speaker 1: the testing and the opening up of America, that we
Speaker 1: need testing. Huh more of this. Yeah, testing is important.
Speaker 1: Testing is not a panacea, not even close. Testing doesn't
Speaker 1: mean people won't get the virus. It doesn't mean people
Speaker 1: won't die from the virus. But this is now, this
Speaker 1: is the complaint that the left has dug in on
Speaker 1: because you'll never have enough testing. You'll never have enough testing,
Speaker 1: And that's just the that's a way to gripe about
Speaker 1: reopening and say, oh see, it's not that we didn't
Speaker 1: want to reopen at all. It's that the we didn't
Speaker 1: want to reopen until the testing was good enough. When
Speaker 1: when will the testing be good enough? September October? Oh
Speaker 1: maybe after the election. Huh interesting, It's it's absurd. But
Speaker 1: they're they're talking now about how Trump is. Trump has
Speaker 1: said he did it, he didn't make it the announcement
Speaker 1: on Twitter, which is very Trumpian. He's amazing, becase the
Speaker 1: way he slaps around these journalists, as I know that
Speaker 1: the journal has hated. That's why I love it. It's fantastic.
Speaker 1: We've we've all had the stomach for far too long.
Speaker 1: These preening social justice want to be overpaid babies in
Speaker 1: our professional national news media. We've all had to listen
Speaker 1: for how long now to them just lecturing the country
Speaker 1: and thinking that they're so important and so irreplaceable. And
Speaker 1: Trump's just like, look, you're a clown, you're a jerk,
Speaker 1: you're a joke. Let's start with that. You want to
Speaker 1: make this about you. This the economy is getting crushed
Speaker 1: and people are dying from a terrible virus, and you
Speaker 1: want to stand up here when you have the attention
Speaker 1: of the whole nation and not ask a question that's worthwhile,
Speaker 1: but ask a question that's meant to be a gotcha.
Speaker 1: So you get a you know, an at a boy
Speaker 1: or at a girl from Rachel matt Ou on MSNBC.
Speaker 1: I don't think so. Not on Trump's watch. God bless
Speaker 1: him for it. But now he's saying he's going to
Speaker 1: shut down immigration for a while, and the left is
Speaker 1: predictably freaking out about this. Well, here's the problem that
Speaker 1: they're going to run into. Of course we don't want
Speaker 1: immigration right now. Of course a pause, and that would
Speaker 1: be good. Do we remember how we were told that
Speaker 1: you can't overstress your hospital systems. Right now, you know
Speaker 1: what other system you can overstress? The federal government's agencies
Speaker 1: that are tasked with preventing illegal entry or having to
Speaker 1: even vet and take care of legal entries into the country.
Speaker 1: At this point in time, you know where we were
Speaker 1: already think about this. We were trying to get US
Speaker 1: citizens and Green card holders back into the United States
Speaker 1: that were stuck abroad, and that was a challenge. We're
Speaker 1: really gonna want to sit around and have to process
Speaker 1: and deal with the possibility of people coming into the
Speaker 1: country who, look, this is this is one of those
Speaker 1: establishing of sovereignty moments where you know, if you're not American,
Speaker 1: if you're not you know, part of the American family,
Speaker 1: you you're not someone that's at the top priority for
Speaker 1: US resources right now. That's just that's just the way
Speaker 1: any country would be. That doesn't mean anybody that shows
Speaker 1: up at the emergency rooms or whatever that needs help.
Speaker 1: Of course, we're going to help everybody that we have
Speaker 1: to help. We're a humane we're a mind, and we're
Speaker 1: a fundamentally moral America is a fundamentally moral country. Of
Speaker 1: a lot of other countries aren't. I In fact, very
Speaker 1: few countries are anywhere near as fundamentally morals as we are,
Speaker 1: as a people and as a nation. But yeah, there's
Speaker 1: there's going to be a pause on immigration right now,
Speaker 1: according to the President, and we were going to go
Speaker 1: through this again. And I just I just want to
Speaker 1: establish right now they're gonna say, he doesn't have the authority,
Speaker 1: he doesn't have the authority, he can't do this's the
Speaker 1: will of Congress. Remember the whole battle that went all
Speaker 1: the way to the Supreme Court over the so called
Speaker 1: Muslim band. Oh, and oh, it was so terrible, the
Speaker 1: Muslim band. I mean it was a band on like
Speaker 1: twelve percent of by population countries from the Muslim world,
Speaker 1: all of which that are already been established by the
Speaker 1: Obama administration, by the Obama administration as not just high
Speaker 1: risks of terror, but also not having proper procedures and
Speaker 1: counter terris and cooperation in place to prevent the possible
Speaker 1: infiltration of terrorists into this country. Right, that was and
Speaker 1: that was the whole purpose of it. And the argue,
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, the left, you don't have a right
Speaker 1: to do this in federal judges who apparently can read
Speaker 1: the law very well, don't don't understand what the law
Speaker 1: really is. They make it up as they go along.
Speaker 1: I mean, I gotta tell you, we're always talking about
Speaker 1: how how undergraduate programs in this country are not what
Speaker 1: we were led to believe. And I'm a big proponent
Speaker 1: of being honest about this. I think that most most
Speaker 1: bash and what I was doing. You know, most bachelor
Speaker 1: degrees aren't worth the very high falutin paper they're printed on.
Speaker 1: I think mine was actually printed on like a goat
Speaker 1: carcass or something, or like sheepskin or something like that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know, weird, right, but they're not worth it. Um
Speaker 1: guess what else isn't worth it? As an intellectual and
Speaker 1: now as as a credential and exercise. Sure, but intellectually speaking,
Speaker 1: I'm amazed at how many people come out of law
Speaker 1: school and have just a fundamental misunderstanding of law and
Speaker 1: political philosophy that has been ingrained in them. I mean,
Speaker 1: they're really taught to just become liberal activists and think
Speaker 1: that they're supporting the law. They think that words and
Speaker 1: language and principle are whatever they want them to be.
Speaker 1: It doesn't really matter what they are. It's all subjective,
Speaker 1: it's all up for change. Anyway. This made its way
Speaker 1: all the way up the Supreme Court before with the
Speaker 1: so called Muslim ban or its I like to call
Speaker 1: it the temporary pause in admissions from countries that have
Speaker 1: established a history of terrorist threat and do not have
Speaker 1: proper vetting procedures in place for the purposes of preventing
Speaker 1: a surge in risk to the United States from terrorism.
Speaker 1: But there's no cool acronym for that, so I get it,
Speaker 1: and there's no pithy way of saying it. But the
Speaker 1: so called Muslim ban, which was not a Muslim ban,
Speaker 1: the temporary the temporary travel restriction. There we go. That's
Speaker 1: what they should have called it, temporary travel restriction. When
Speaker 1: all the Supreme Court turns out that the president, under
Speaker 1: the Constitution, under the laws of this country, does in
Speaker 1: fact have, for national security purposes, the authority to say
Speaker 1: who can enter the United States of America. We've already
Speaker 1: run this experiment. We've already seen it. And the Libs
Speaker 1: are going to tur run and say, what do you
Speaker 1: mean he's stopping immigration? He can't do this, Yes, yes
Speaker 1: he can, because the national security purpose of stopping additional
Speaker 1: entries into the United States for non US citizens and
Speaker 1: non green card holders when you're dealing with a pandemic,
Speaker 1: and when we don't have the procedures yet, maybe we
Speaker 1: will and maybe look at them in play soon to
Speaker 1: do rapid and immediate testing for anyone coming into the country.
Speaker 1: There is a very real possibility of introducing people into
Speaker 1: the United States who have COVID nineteen, which places further
Speaker 1: burdens on our healthcare system, on our system in general.
Speaker 1: That's a real risk. They can say it's not, but
Speaker 1: it is. That is a real risk. In fact, Singapore,
Speaker 1: which had done a very good job of dealing with it,
Speaker 1: the initial outbreak of COVID nineteen, has had a secondary outbreak,
Speaker 1: not a huge one, but a secondary outbreak. And what
Speaker 1: have they already traced it to people coming to Singapore
Speaker 1: from outside, people who are infected who show up in Singapore.
Speaker 1: That's and you who have not been in countries where
Speaker 1: they had these same stringent lockdown procedures and the same
Speaker 1: you know, vetting and science based measures in place to
Speaker 1: control the disease. So we've already seen this. We've already
Speaker 1: seen one country where the I mean, look, I know
Speaker 1: it's a very small country, but it is a country,
Speaker 1: and we've already seen that the entry of people from
Speaker 1: the outside can be a problem. So are you going
Speaker 1: to see any honesty about this from the left whatsoever. No,
Speaker 1: you will not. No, you will not. And you'll have,
Speaker 1: for example, Mayor Eric Garcetti, who who's really like a
Speaker 1: one man illegal illegal immigrant lobbying arm. I mean, that's
Speaker 1: really what you know, Garcetti, anything that's about illegals, and
Speaker 1: it's just it's a shame for the state of California.
Speaker 1: But you know, illegals are now and you say, oh buck,
Speaker 1: they can vote. Well, they get drivers licenses, and they
Speaker 1: get instituition, and they get all kinds of state benefits,
Speaker 1: they get healthcare, they get money from this state as
Speaker 1: part of the COVID nineteen they're giving them just cash.
Speaker 1: And also because of the connections between illegal aliens and
Speaker 1: people who are citizens and un do live in the
Speaker 1: state of California and the emotional and personal ties to
Speaker 1: millions of people in that group, this is now a
Speaker 1: voting constituency that the state of California. If you want
Speaker 1: to be in the mayor of la or if you
Speaker 1: want to be the governor governor Newsom, you got to
Speaker 1: just bend the need or whatever illegal aliens want all
Speaker 1: the time. You can never talk about rule law stuff Oh,
Speaker 1: what do you mean with that rule of law? That's hey,
Speaker 1: So here's LA's mayor, who is I think slightly less
Speaker 1: awful than New York's mayor. But that's a really tight comparison.
Speaker 1: Here's what he says about the immigration tweet from tromp
Speaker 1: play three. I believe in governance by law and not
Speaker 1: necessarily by tweet. I'm proud to be the grandson of
Speaker 1: an immigrant from Mexico. That's why I'm the mayor today.
Speaker 1: We have a president who is the grandson of an
Speaker 1: immigrant as well, who married immigrants. We can't run away
Speaker 1: from who we are and the people who are helping
Speaker 1: us most right now. I think we are all in
Speaker 1: this together and all life matters, and this isn't going
Speaker 1: to get stopped by playing politics. I think that Mexico
Speaker 1: is more worried about the rate of infection from the
Speaker 1: United States right now than vice versa. So let's make
Speaker 1: sure that we stay connected and engage with the world,
Speaker 1: and let's not start writing off anybody in this country
Speaker 1: just because of where they come from. But maybe by
Speaker 1: all immigration he means everybody who knows maybe European every founding.
Speaker 1: Some of the darkest chapters of our American history are
Speaker 1: written in times like the World War Two, when we
Speaker 1: scapegoat people and try to change the subject. This is
Speaker 1: a public health emergency. This is not an immigration emergency.
Speaker 1: So I hope we can stay focused on what this
Speaker 1: really is. Notice the immigration, the pro immigration fanaticism that's
Speaker 1: really on display here. My friends, you and I are
Speaker 1: being told we can't leave our homes. You want to
Speaker 1: talk about not feeling like America. We're supposed to stay
Speaker 1: locked in our own home only going out to get,
Speaker 1: you know, necessary groceries. And even then you got to
Speaker 1: wear a mask, and you got a social distance. And
Speaker 1: and I'm supposed to be worried about the fact that
Speaker 1: we're not going to be taking in new immigrants for
Speaker 1: maybe a matter of a few weeks, maybe a month
Speaker 1: or two. Well, look at the priorities of the democratic
Speaker 1: Oh this is not who we are. Yeah, we're also
Speaker 1: not a country that's supposed to be on universal lockdown. Yea, idiots,
Speaker 1: maybe there's a real emergency right now, and being the
Speaker 1: nation of him Rance is not the most important thing
Speaker 1: for us to be thinking about. It's just it's just
Speaker 1: really complicated. They can't figure this out. The light lead
Speaker 1: person head. Figure it out that nazi Nazi pelosis put
Speaker 1: down the wine cooler long enough. He's going to answer
Speaker 1: the question placed in play nineteen with President used the
Speaker 1: word waste three times at least in his comment, and
Speaker 1: I think it's a waste of time to even comment
Speaker 1: on what he said when he uses term negative terms
Speaker 1: to describe anyone he wants to hoist blame one instead
Speaker 1: of taking responsibility. I spoke truth when I said he's
Speaker 1: a poor leader. He never accepts responsibility. He always assigns blame.
Speaker 1: It's not too late to tell the truth or to
Speaker 1: do the right thing, and I hope that he will.
Speaker 1: This test for the back and forth between the governors
Speaker 1: and the President is very interesting because he, on the
Speaker 1: one hand, wants to look like, well, we have all
Speaker 1: we need. Let the oven nurse Stewart. But the fact
Speaker 1: is that they it doesn't add up, and it has
Speaker 1: to add up. What is she talking about? She just
Speaker 1: just babbles. You know. Sometimes Trump has a particular way
Speaker 1: of saying things, and he can get a little bit
Speaker 1: wrapped around his words, but you always know that he's
Speaker 1: trying to say something, and you know what he's actually
Speaker 1: trying to say, what the heck is Nancy Pelosi saying, yes,
Speaker 1: this is the president. It is the place figure here
Speaker 1: the play not a good leader, third in line for
Speaker 1: the presidency, folks, most powerful elected Democrat in the United
Speaker 1: States of America. This is who they offer up. This
Speaker 1: is who all the all the multi millionaire news anchors
Speaker 1: out there who want to lecture you from the Hamptons
Speaker 1: because they don't want to stay home in quarantine in
Speaker 1: their apartments. No, they get to go out to their
Speaker 1: estates and then take over a wing of it to
Speaker 1: set up their home studio. And then they go, o oh,
Speaker 1: why would the peasants want to leave their homes? Chris Cuomo, mister,
Speaker 1: I have COVID, and I need to be so careful.
Speaker 1: Now there's this report out that that guy's going He's
Speaker 1: gone from Southampton to East Hampton. I mean, the Hampton's
Speaker 1: is just a collection of a lot of very rich
Speaker 1: people with very high self opinion, and he's going from
Speaker 1: one town to another while he's an active carrier of COVID.
Speaker 1: According to The The New York Post, anyone calling him out
Speaker 1: for that, Oh, no, no noise. Oh look at the
Speaker 1: great job. Another guy, I apologize to some of you,
Speaker 1: for I was way too charitable in my early estimation
Speaker 1: of what. You know. Governor Cuomo was being so nice
Speaker 1: and friendly to Trump in the early days because he
Speaker 1: needed to create some distance between the massive stink of
Speaker 1: his early failures as the governor of this state to
Speaker 1: get us ready for the pandemic that has killed thousands
Speaker 1: and thousands of my fellow New Yorkers, my fellow Americans here.
Speaker 1: So he was all, oh, yeah, I'm just being mister,
Speaker 1: you know, trying to be helpful with everything else. That
Speaker 1: was the whole purpose of it. I just I had
Speaker 1: to figure out what had gone on beforehand. I had
Speaker 1: to dig into the numbers a little bit, you know.
Speaker 1: So the Cuomo Brothers road show they've been doing not
Speaker 1: that entertaining. There's much more important stuff going on and
Speaker 1: the double standard that we're seeing from people like Pelosi,
Speaker 1: and it's just you're seeing who people really are right now.
Speaker 1: You're seeing who they really are. Don't forget it. Don't
Speaker 1: forget it. You're in the freedom Hunt. This is the
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show podcast. Okay, team, I wanted to give
Speaker 1: you the specific tweet on the immigration suspension that the
Speaker 1: President has now laid out in the last twenty four hours,
Speaker 1: in light of the attack from the invisible enemy, as
Speaker 1: well as the need to protect the jobs of our
Speaker 1: great American citizens, I'll be signing an executive order to
Speaker 1: temporarily suspend immigration into the United States. It's temporary, it's
Speaker 1: a suspension. He has the authority to do this. But
Speaker 1: you know what part of what drives people on the
Speaker 1: left so insane about this whole thing is that this
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen crisis has shown us that secure borders are
Speaker 1: a national security issue. That's a real thing. That's just
Speaker 1: the truth. And it also is a reminder as millions
Speaker 1: and millions of people are losing their jobs that there
Speaker 1: that a job is something that is precious and there
Speaker 1: are a limited number of them, and supply and demand
Speaker 1: doll does still apply even in the labor market. That's
Speaker 1: a real thing. So we're seeing in many ways, a
Speaker 1: vindication through historical events here of much of Trump's philosophy
Speaker 1: when it comes to China, when it comes to immigration,
Speaker 1: when it comes to borders, when it comes to jobs.
Speaker 1: When you know, you're seeing a lot of where Trump
Speaker 1: was right early on, and people have been trying to
Speaker 1: shout him down and say he's so awful and so
Speaker 1: such a terrible president and all the rest of it. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: to anybody who's paying attention and being honest about it,
Speaker 1: if we had made some of the changes that he
Speaker 1: had been suggesting, and he did give an update yesterday
Speaker 1: on the wall, they said over one hundred miles of
Speaker 1: wall have been built. These are these are things that
Speaker 1: early on we were told, we're crazy. You know, you
Speaker 1: can't rely on China to build all these things for you.
Speaker 1: We have to build more stuff here. We have to
Speaker 1: move manufacturing back here. You know, the the early consensus,
Speaker 1: you know, elite consensus opinion on this was no, why
Speaker 1: it's great for us, It's great for China. They make
Speaker 1: all our stuff. We get to, you know, get cheap
Speaker 1: TVs and sell them all of our treasury debt. And
Speaker 1: you know, it's all great for everybody. Really, having your
Speaker 1: greatest global competitor that seeks to supplant you and seeks
Speaker 1: to humiliate you on the world stage over time and
Speaker 1: make your people poorer and less free and have less
Speaker 1: influence as a culture over time. That country you're going
Speaker 1: to put in charge of your supply of necessary medical
Speaker 1: equipment and antbiotics. Trump knew that was a bad idea.
Speaker 1: Did the did the so smart intelligencia know? Oh they
Speaker 1: did not know. Thanks for listening to The bus Essen
Speaker 1: Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcast, the iHeartRadio app,
Speaker 1: or wherever you get your podcasts. And yet in January
Speaker 1: a certain date, you know the date better than I do.
Speaker 1: We put on a band of China, which China can't
Speaker 1: come in, and before March we put on a band
Speaker 1: on Europe where Europe can't come in. So how could
Speaker 1: you say I wasn't taking it? Seriously? Do you know
Speaker 1: I put on a band on China before anybody in
Speaker 1: this country died? I put on a band And so
Speaker 1: you tell me Nancy Pelosi was having she wanted to
Speaker 1: have a street party in Chinatown in San Francisco at
Speaker 1: the end of February. That's a month later. Devastating and
Speaker 1: true Left's gonna have a very hard time with this.
Speaker 1: The media, they're just the disgusting so called journalist class
Speaker 1: at the time, New York Times, the wash Can Post,
Speaker 1: CNN and MSNBC. I mean CNN is really CNN is
Speaker 1: now an organization that propagates a lot of lies and
Speaker 1: has really turned into it's a bad place with a
Speaker 1: lot of really bad people working there, not everybody, a
Speaker 1: lot of very bad people, not an organization. It has
Speaker 1: lost its way. It is now an organ of propaganda
Speaker 1: from the left that will seek to destroy Trump at
Speaker 1: any And I want to say now it has been
Speaker 1: for a while, but it's very clear even during a pandemic,
Speaker 1: when they they could just be they could just pivot
Speaker 1: and become an information source, neutral journalist, you know, try
Speaker 1: to be more like the perception out of the BBC
Speaker 1: is very left wing too, but the perception of the
Speaker 1: BBC around the world of just you know, oh, we're
Speaker 1: just reading the news. We don't have opinions. You know,
Speaker 1: CNN could do something like that, but they don't. They
Speaker 1: do what they always do. They're the propaganda arm of
Speaker 1: the DNC, and they're an utter, an utter disgrace. But
Speaker 1: they're also feverishly working, feverishly working to rewrite the history
Speaker 1: here of what really happened. I mean, that's a very
Speaker 1: remember that and someone wants to challenge you or argue
Speaker 1: with you on how Trump has done such a bad job,
Speaker 1: you had to Blasio saying that Trump is like Hoover
Speaker 1: or Ford, he's never going to get reelected, oh, because
Speaker 1: his pandemic response was so bad. He before a single
Speaker 1: American had died from the shutdown flights from China, which
Speaker 1: even Saint Fauci has said, save thousands and thousands of
Speaker 1: American lives by preventing the direct importation. Wait a second,
Speaker 1: you mean that we shouldn't just bring in people who
Speaker 1: are foreigners and not worry about what happens with the
Speaker 1: situation of public health during a pandemic. Because we shut
Speaker 1: that down, lives were saved, and it wasn't perfect, and
Speaker 1: we've obviously lost a lot of lives. I've told you
Speaker 1: in New York it's Look, it's density and the subway.
Speaker 1: It's the population density and the subway and the global
Speaker 1: travel hub. You add those three things together and you
Speaker 1: have a nightmare scenario with this disease. We have that
Speaker 1: more than any other place in the entire United States,
Speaker 1: which is why in New York City is sixty five
Speaker 1: percent of the cases of New York State. New York
Speaker 1: State's a big state. People forget that here. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, you head out to Buffalo, it's like you're
Speaker 1: in Canada. It's not close. It's like an eight hour
Speaker 1: drive from New York City. So there's a there's a
Speaker 1: whole other state, and most of the cases, a majority
Speaker 1: of the cases are right here in a relatively very
Speaker 1: small square mileage area with a whole lot of people
Speaker 1: packed on top of it. So Trump took action before
Speaker 1: there was a single death, and Pelosi and all the
Speaker 1: rest of them are saying, oh, if we had been
Speaker 1: in charge, things would have been so much better. There's
Speaker 1: just there's just no reason to believe that that's true.
Speaker 1: There's no evidence to suggest that that's true. Pelosi was saying,
Speaker 1: it's get's kept out to it's a party. It's you know,
Speaker 1: party of Chinatown. It's gonna be great, it is. It's yeah,
Speaker 1: that was We've heard the audio. I played it for
Speaker 1: you on this Pelosi was saying, yeah, come on down,
Speaker 1: it's fine, We'll all we'll all be fine, come on
Speaker 1: out of Chinatown, right when the virus was really starting
Speaker 1: to spread and hit badly here in the United States.
Speaker 1: So we can allow them to rewrite the history here,
Speaker 1: we can't allow them to get away with pretending that
Speaker 1: something else would have happened. I mean, just just so
Speaker 1: we understand how really political this is again Deblasi. Remember
Speaker 1: Deblasi was the mayor of the worst hit COVID nineteen
Speaker 1: city in the country. And here's the way that he
Speaker 1: talks about this when he's given a national podium. You know,
Speaker 1: is he being a man for this moment and trying
Speaker 1: to bring us all together and find ways to help
Speaker 1: the situation, or does he wind blame Republicans and say
Speaker 1: that Trump is basically a fascist and the worst ever
Speaker 1: and Republicans too Play seventeen. What's happening right now in
Speaker 1: Washington is a discussion of adding to the stimulus money
Speaker 1: to support state and local governments so they can get
Speaker 1: back on their feet, so they can actually move forward
Speaker 1: to that restarted the economy. The House under the leadership
Speaker 1: of Speaker Pelosi is ready to move forward. Senate Democrats
Speaker 1: under the leadership of Chuck Schumer are one percent ready
Speaker 1: to move forward. Senate Republicans are trying to stop aid
Speaker 1: to cities and states around the country. And let me
Speaker 1: remind you Blue states and red states, they're actually standing
Speaker 1: in the way of people of all persuasions, all backgrounds,
Speaker 1: big states, small states, every part of the country getting
Speaker 1: the help they need to get back on the feet.
Speaker 1: So the Senate Republicans don't want to act, they don't
Speaker 1: want to protect New York City or any place else.
Speaker 1: But you know what, literally, with a snap of his fingers,
Speaker 1: Donald Trump could fix that. If he would just say
Speaker 1: the word, the Senate would jump. What a liar, I mean,
Speaker 1: just what a scummy, slimy lie. This guy's gross. He's
Speaker 1: really bad news. I mean, he's a bad person. It's
Speaker 1: not somebody that not somebody that I respect at all.
Speaker 1: It's not like I disagree with him, but I think
Speaker 1: he's a good guy. And there are Democrats, plenty of
Speaker 1: them that I would I would take that position. I
Speaker 1: think they're wrong, but I think that they're fundamentally decent people.
Speaker 1: They're just confused. De Blasio is just it's just gross.
Speaker 1: And here while we know what the problem is that
Speaker 1: we're trying to deal with right now, First of all,
Speaker 1: Congress isn't even a session. Nancy Pelosi thinks that they
Speaker 1: should be on an extended vacation right now, extended recess,
Speaker 1: while the country is in this horrible circumstance. And okay,
Speaker 1: well that's happening. We're trying to find out how much
Speaker 1: more money is needed for the Paycheck Protection Program? Who
Speaker 1: is standing in the way Democrats? Democrats are standing in
Speaker 1: the way. Here here's Mitch McConnell giving an update on
Speaker 1: the PPP. Maybe we should just start calling it the
Speaker 1: three P play six. It's now been four days since
Speaker 1: Paycheck Protection Program ran out of money. Republicans have been
Speaker 1: trying to secure more funding for the squarical program for
Speaker 1: a week and a half. Now at this hour, our
Speaker 1: Democratic colleagues are still prolonging their discussions with the administration,
Speaker 1: so the Senate regretfully will not be able to pass
Speaker 1: more funding for Americans paychecks today. However, since this is
Speaker 1: so urgent, I asked at the Senate meet again tomorrow
Speaker 1: in a new session that was not previously scheduled, and
Speaker 1: the Democratic leader has agreed to by request, colleagues, it's pastime,
Speaker 1: past time to get this done for the country. It
Speaker 1: is absolutely past time to get it done. And why
Speaker 1: isn't it getting done Because Democrats like Pelosi do not
Speaker 1: have their feet held to the fire over this by
Speaker 1: the media. Democrats don't have to worry about getting pummeled
Speaker 1: in the national press for standing in the way. They
Speaker 1: they don't have to worry about that and that is
Speaker 1: what they're doing. That is what they're currently doing. It's
Speaker 1: it's really remarkable. It's really remarkable to see how much
Speaker 1: dishonesty there is around all of this. I mean, here
Speaker 1: we go, we got an update on this hold on.
Speaker 1: That's what I was looking for. Schumer says deal reached
Speaker 1: on aid for businesses hopes for a Senate vote today. Okay,
Speaker 1: we have a deal and we'll pass it today. The
Speaker 1: Democrat told CNN he's a few ice to dot teas
Speaker 1: to cross. Okay, well, here's what it says. The Butterfield
Speaker 1: said it would include three hundred and ten billion for
Speaker 1: small business, a top priory for Republicans the PPP. The
Speaker 1: program would program would now include small banks, credit unions,
Speaker 1: and nonprofits, top party for Democrats for predisting relationships with
Speaker 1: the banks, the large banks. If then, okay, here we go.
Speaker 1: Butterfield said that healthcare would get one hundred billion dollars,
Speaker 1: split between seventy five billion for hospitals, including some for
Speaker 1: rural ones, and twenty five billion dollars for testing. Another
Speaker 1: they're fifty billion dollars we go to the Small Business
Speaker 1: Administration's Economic Injury Disaster Loan Program MY friends, we are
Speaker 1: spending I mean, look, I know that we need this
Speaker 1: for businesses because we've set this up, but we also
Speaker 1: have to remember what we are spending money here at
Speaker 1: a rate that is just mind blowing. We're spending one
Speaker 1: hundred billion, like the government used to spend a billion.
Speaker 1: I mean, we're just we're just you know, here you
Speaker 1: go one hundred billion for this, one hundred billion, for that,
Speaker 1: ten billion here, fifty billion there, fifty one hundred billion dollars,
Speaker 1: a lot of money even for the government. That's a
Speaker 1: lot of money. But you remember, couldn't get three billion
Speaker 1: dollars for a wall when the economy was booming. Couldn't
Speaker 1: get that. No, no, that was that was way too
Speaker 1: much money. But now we're spending hundreds and one hundreds
Speaker 1: of billion dollars. Hopefully this will will work better for
Speaker 1: the PPP than it has. I mean, thus far it
Speaker 1: has been. It's been really disappointing as a program. I mean,
Speaker 1: we need to be honest about that. We need to
Speaker 1: be honest in our assessments about how all this is going.
Speaker 1: So oh, by the way, here that Kim Jong un
Speaker 1: is in bad shape. Talk about a story that would
Speaker 1: have gotten a lot more attention. If the world wasn't
Speaker 1: in meltdown. Let's let's dig into that for a second.
Speaker 1: You're in the Freedom Hunt. This is the Buck Sexton
Speaker 1: Show podcast. All right, the dictator of North Korea, it's
Speaker 1: having a rough one from what we understand here. I
Speaker 1: know all of this are like great guys, the worst,
Speaker 1: But if he were to expire, there's a lot of
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff would happened at a time when
Speaker 1: the world is certainly not really prepared to deal with
Speaker 1: any more than it already is, including the United States government.
Speaker 1: Here's a story up on Fox News. The US government
Speaker 1: has extensive contingency plans in place for an eventual death
Speaker 1: of North Korean leader Kim Jong un that factor in
Speaker 1: expectations of mass scale humanitarian crisis inside the country. Sources
Speaker 1: discuss those plans amid conflicting reports about the reclusive North
Speaker 1: Korean leader's health. Those same sources urged caution about these reports,
Speaker 1: which have claimed he's facing serious health issues after a
Speaker 1: cardiovascular procedure. Whether while his condition is unclear, A well
Speaker 1: placed defense intelligence source told Fox News that the US
Speaker 1: government has extensive plans that dealing with the complications that
Speaker 1: could arise from his death. The official described the likelihood
Speaker 1: of a huge humanitarian crisis within North Korea that could
Speaker 1: include millions of people facing starvation and a mass exodus
Speaker 1: of North Korean reputees into China. Intelligence sources told Fox
Speaker 1: News that part of the plan would be to rely
Speaker 1: heavily on China to step in and help manage the
Speaker 1: situation on the ground inside North Korea, partly due to
Speaker 1: China's proximity and partly due to logistical challenges of the
Speaker 1: US providing humanitarian assistance. So what have we been told?
Speaker 1: The North Korean I'm sorry. The Daily NK, which is
Speaker 1: a periodical based in South Korea. Soul, which is run
Speaker 1: by North Korean defectors, reported that Kim, who was only
Speaker 1: thirty six, was recovering from his April twelfth surgery. The
Speaker 1: report said he had been in bad health because of
Speaker 1: heavy smoking, obesity, and overwork. North South Korean officials downplay
Speaker 1: these reports. So, look, we don't know. They're saying. It
Speaker 1: could be a totally untrue. There's no specific trend here.
Speaker 1: We don't know. They don't know, you know, early stage,
Speaker 1: but oh, I thank you know, Kim Jong owen, if
Speaker 1: he were to expire. That would create a whole bunch
Speaker 1: of issues. I'm not even sure what the what the
Speaker 1: succession plan would be in North Korea. I can promise
Speaker 1: see this right now. All the journalists were reporting is
Speaker 1: they have no idea. It was like, oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: there'd be a catastrophe. They don't understand what that means
Speaker 1: other than that's the thing you have to say right now.
Speaker 1: But the world would not not do well to we're
Speaker 1: not not do well rather than the circumstances and trying
Speaker 1: to capitalize on the possibility of flipping North Korea from
Speaker 1: the totalitarian hell hole it is to something a whole
Speaker 1: heck of a lot better, given that we're all focused
Speaker 1: on our own stuff right now. Wait, we do not
Speaker 1: have the bandwidth to take on any additional challenges outside
Speaker 1: our own AO. But yeah, that's the story on Kim
Speaker 1: Jong Owen. It got a lot of attention last night.
Speaker 1: I wanted to mention it here. It could be it
Speaker 1: could be a non story. I mean, it could be
Speaker 1: essentially fake fake news. So there we have it. There
Speaker 1: we have it. I also want to talk about the
Speaker 1: testing situation a little bit more, because there's going to
Speaker 1: be so much arguing about this. Let's understand that right now,
Speaker 1: there is no way, there is no way that Democrats
Speaker 1: are ever going to say that testing is acceptable. And
Speaker 1: because this is going to be blamed back, they're going
Speaker 1: to reflect this back onto the federal government. Right That's
Speaker 1: the plan to make sure that this is Trump's fault
Speaker 1: no matter what. Here is the governor New York. Governor
Speaker 1: Cuomo who is saying the following Play twelve just tweeted
Speaker 1: that the testing is up to the states, not up
Speaker 1: to the federal government. Just a quick reaction on that.
Speaker 1: And also, is the state capable of doing the type
Speaker 1: of testing it needs to be doing in order to
Speaker 1: not only identify who has the disease, but who has
Speaker 1: had the disease? The President is right the states. Testing
Speaker 1: is up to the states, which will implement the tests
Speaker 1: and logistically coordinate the tests. For example, in this state,
Speaker 1: I should make the determinations as to what labs participate
Speaker 1: in testing. We have about three hundred labs in New York.
Speaker 1: It's my job to coordinate those three hundred labs. Which
Speaker 1: one should do this, which one should not. How do
Speaker 1: I decide what labs work where they're regulated by the states?
Speaker 1: For his lafts. Do you think that they're gonna be
Speaker 1: able to figure this out quickly? Do you think that
Speaker 1: this testing testing regiment is going to be a smooth situation,
Speaker 1: it's going to work out? Well, Nope, nope. But remember,
Speaker 1: even though it is up to the states, and you've
Speaker 1: been told this by the government New York, who will
Speaker 1: get blamed for any problems with testing in any state?
Speaker 1: The president. The political incentives here for the left are
Speaker 1: so clear. We know what they're going to do before
Speaker 1: they're going to do it. But there are a lot
Speaker 1: of people that don't pay as much attention to what's
Speaker 1: going on as you do. And guess what they can
Speaker 1: be swayed by this? Oh well, if you know the
Speaker 1: president is really responsible, that seems kind of reckless, doesn't
Speaker 1: It seems like he's done a bad thing. Meanwhile, Vice
Speaker 1: President Pence, who has done i think an excellent job
Speaker 1: so far coordinating in this crisis but also being a
Speaker 1: voice of calm, which matters at some level, Right, It
Speaker 1: matters to have somebody up there who doesn't seem like
Speaker 1: they're trying to score cheap points, who just wants to
Speaker 1: help people, wants to do things the right way. And
Speaker 1: use his power to do so. There's Pence on the
Speaker 1: testing issue for states Play eleven. We told governors once
Speaker 1: again today that by our best estimates, we have enough
Speaker 1: testing capacity today for every state in America to go
Speaker 1: to Phase one if they meet the other criteria of
Speaker 1: fourteen days of reduced cases and sufficient hospital capacity to
Speaker 1: prepare for any eventuality that may occur. Once again, we
Speaker 1: have enough testing capacity for every state in America to
Speaker 1: go to Phase one. But we assure the governors today
Speaker 1: that we're going to continue to work around the clock
Speaker 1: to expand the testing capacity, support supplies, and to support
Speaker 1: their efforts to encourage social distancing and the very mitigation
Speaker 1: efforts that the American people have been doing that have
Speaker 1: brought us the progress that we see all across the
Speaker 1: country today. So enough test for every state to go
Speaker 1: to Phase one. But remember phase one is a dynamic targetance.
Speaker 1: You get into phase one, you could have more cases
Speaker 1: and you could have to revert out of it, right,
Speaker 1: you could have to take a more extreme position, so
Speaker 1: and then it's phase one of reopening. That's where we are.
Speaker 1: Pence is telling you the truth. Thanks for listening to
Speaker 1: the Bus Sesson Show podcast. Remember to subscribe on Apple Podcasts,
Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts. All right,
Speaker 1: Team Box special treat for all of you today. The
Speaker 1: man himself, Ted Nugent joins us. He is a rock superstar.
Speaker 1: He is also an avid outdoorsman, best selling author, all
Speaker 1: around freedom spreader and lover of a good old us
Speaker 1: of a mister Ted Nugent, Sir, thank you well, thank
Speaker 1: you bunking a happy springing time to everybody in spiting
Speaker 1: this crazy, crazy world we're living. Him. Yeah, let's let's
Speaker 1: because I have so much I want to ask you about,
Speaker 1: and you're very kind to give us your time to
Speaker 1: philosophize a little bit about freedom. But first, let me
Speaker 1: just get your take on what are we doing right
Speaker 1: now as a country. I mean, we have people being
Speaker 1: told that they can't go into a playground with their
Speaker 1: wife and kid with no one else around. We're being
Speaker 1: told that you can't go to a drive in church,
Speaker 1: you can't go to beaches, although they're starting to change
Speaker 1: that now. What happened? I thought I thought we were
Speaker 1: the you know, give me liberty or give me death people,
Speaker 1: or at least don't tread on me. Doesn't feel like
Speaker 1: that's the way a lot of the government's treating us
Speaker 1: these days. Well you smell like truth, logic and common sense,
Speaker 1: just like me, Buck, Then let me tell you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: these are uncharted territories we're plunging into right now. But
Speaker 1: there's always going to be good, bad, and ugly, and
Speaker 1: I like to focus on the good. And there's unlimited
Speaker 1: good to be focused on. Sure, there's a bunch of
Speaker 1: freaks out there that are violating their oath to the constitution,
Speaker 1: forbidding people to go fishing, forbidding people to plant gardens.
Speaker 1: I mean, it really is like Planet of the Apes
Speaker 1: Cuckoo's Nest time. So those guilty parties know who they are.
Speaker 1: But the good is that I have a whole bunch
Speaker 1: of buddies, a bunch of ranchers and farmers. I got
Speaker 1: military buddies, law enforcement, first responders, teachers, you know, the
Speaker 1: doctors and the nurses, and those of us that learned
Speaker 1: to be prepared and live the boy Scout mantra of
Speaker 1: being prepared. We have always been cocked, locked and ready
Speaker 1: to rock the glock dock. And we're helping those people
Speaker 1: who were dumbed down. And will you know, the new
Speaker 1: national anthem for a segment of society is man man
Speaker 1: and it breaks my heart. But again that's the bad
Speaker 1: and ugly and the good I believe is now manifesting
Speaker 1: itself in these protests where we the people are experimenting
Speaker 1: in self individual government and we're raised in hell with
Speaker 1: elected employees who have tread on us. So I don't
Speaker 1: just see a light at the end of the tunnel.
Speaker 1: I see a glaring You know, I singer every day
Speaker 1: of my life because I surrounded my band, my crew,
Speaker 1: my wife, my kids, my grandkids, my management, everybody in
Speaker 1: my life is so in the asset column that we
Speaker 1: will help those who have decided to be in the
Speaker 1: liability column. But I really believe there's a bunch of
Speaker 1: positive that we can cling to, primarily that divine intervention
Speaker 1: brought there's great non presidential, non politician to the commander
Speaker 1: in chief Helm. So I'm feeling I don't know if
Speaker 1: you've noticed, but I'm feeling pretty good about the whole thing,
Speaker 1: in spite of the oath violations, the abuse of power,
Speaker 1: and the runaway corruption that is so glaringly identifiable now.
Speaker 1: So I think even the fence sitters are waking up
Speaker 1: that you're not allowed to sit on the fence, you
Speaker 1: have to defend the fence. Do you think that there's
Speaker 1: not only a change in the perception about one's individual
Speaker 1: preparation that's not necessary, but also are we going to
Speaker 1: see a whole lot more people really appreciate You know,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of the America bumper sticker stuff you
Speaker 1: see out there. Right. Freedom isn't free. And people who
Speaker 1: serve in the military, for example, they know what that
Speaker 1: means that a very deep and important level. But you know,
Speaker 1: a lot of us coming, you know, don't trut on
Speaker 1: me to gas and flags and all this. Is there
Speaker 1: going to be a renewal of that emotional, spiritual bond
Speaker 1: between millions of Americans and what individual rights and freedom
Speaker 1: means as a result of some of the some of
Speaker 1: the craziness that we were just talking about before. You know,
Speaker 1: I'm the eternal optimist, and I hope and pray that
Speaker 1: that prognosis is accurate. It comes to fruition. That being said, again,
Speaker 1: everybody I know is in the asset column. Everybody I
Speaker 1: know works their ass off to be productive and to
Speaker 1: be a benefit to their family and neighborhood and country.
Speaker 1: God family, country. Boy. That's radical. So I'm not so
Speaker 1: sure that the dumbing down of America. I mean, how
Speaker 1: do you not have enough toilet paper for a hurricane
Speaker 1: or a snowstorm or of ice? I mean, how do
Speaker 1: people get that? So we are responsible again that sheep
Speaker 1: battle cry that I just, you know, painfully shared with
Speaker 1: you a moment ago. Yes, they're gonna wake up. I'm
Speaker 1: not sure how quick. But more importantly than that book is,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna really scold my fellow patriots. Those
Speaker 1: that believe in God, family, and country didn't vote in
Speaker 1: Michigan and they allowed Hillary Clinton to become governor. For
Speaker 1: those that are unsure themselves, that would be Gretchen Whitmer,
Speaker 1: who is Hillary Clinton. So I would like to think
Speaker 1: that we should just focus on the constitutionalist amongst us.
Speaker 1: And here's the battle cry, vote damn it. Don't let
Speaker 1: the liberals win by, you know, organizing their voting blocks
Speaker 1: better than we do. But we have a hunt the
Speaker 1: vote dot org, Hunt the vote dot org. What we
Speaker 1: did in Michigan was constin in Pennsylvania, we finally galvanized
Speaker 1: what I think is the ultimate conservative voting block in
Speaker 1: America and those are licensed hunters and fishermen and trappers
Speaker 1: and outdoors and conservationists that traditionally do not vote. I
Speaker 1: don't know if it's because it's the rut during November
Speaker 1: in their inneritrey stand, but embarrassingly and unforgivably, that huge
Speaker 1: army of conservative voters don't show up at the polls.
Speaker 1: So at Hunt the Vote dot Org, we are galvanizing
Speaker 1: those people like we did in Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania in
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen, the top hunting states in the nation. And
Speaker 1: that may sound confusing to sell people out there, but
Speaker 1: mark my words, there are tens of millions of hunting
Speaker 1: families in this country that don't vote, and then they
Speaker 1: show up in protest because the enemy got into the
Speaker 1: office of governor in Michigan. And that's damage control instead
Speaker 1: of just voting God, family, and country as quality control.
Speaker 1: So I'm for that that untapped army that already agrees
Speaker 1: with the truth, logic and common sense that you live by,
Speaker 1: that I live by. That they'll finally wield the ultimate
Speaker 1: weapon in the history of freedom, and that's the vote
Speaker 1: in America. What is the Ted Nugon assessment of the
Speaker 1: opponent for Donald Trump right now, Joe Biden, have you
Speaker 1: been seeing some of the bidenisms, which is I think
Speaker 1: the pleasant way that we refer to them. Have you
Speaker 1: seen some of this stuff? I mean, I'm trying to
Speaker 1: work on Biden personation that doesn't just sound like a
Speaker 1: ripoff of mister McGoo. But then I realize it's going
Speaker 1: to sound something like that because he does seem somewhat confused. Again,
Speaker 1: I don't think liberals are the same species as you
Speaker 1: and I. They like they're allergic to truth, logic, common
Speaker 1: sense and the evidence that is otherwise inescapable. Just examine
Speaker 1: the history of abusive power by Joe Biden. I mean
Speaker 1: from the credit card scams, who is the unter Biden scams?
Speaker 1: And you mean just a lifetime of rip off and
Speaker 1: deceit and abusive power. And then watch him struggle to
Speaker 1: form a sentence and people actually go ask my guy, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I want him to be the commander in chief. To me,
Speaker 1: I mean, this is like an uptake of a bad
Speaker 1: Saturday Life spoof on just how stupid people can be.
Speaker 1: So again, I know that that ignorance and that apathy
Speaker 1: and that stupidity exists, but I hope the people that
Speaker 1: are not stupid and are not ignorant of how we
Speaker 1: got to this experiment self government. I just you vote
Speaker 1: out there, go to hunt the vote dot org, and
Speaker 1: let's make sure all conservatives are registered and we vote God, family, country, Constitution, freedom. Duh. Yeah. Now,
Speaker 1: how do you think the Trumpster has done so far? Game? Look,
Speaker 1: right now, he's in the midst of the most challenging
Speaker 1: government situation for any president. I think it's pretty fair
Speaker 1: to say since World War Two. I don't think anything really,
Speaker 1: because you've got the infection, the virus and the loss
Speaker 1: of life and all the fear and the panic, and
Speaker 1: you also have the essentially induced depression, right. I mean,
Speaker 1: this is an oppression that the government has walked us
Speaker 1: into it said, don't worry, we'll pull you out of it. Well,
Speaker 1: we'll see. But how has Trump done up to and
Speaker 1: including this challenge in your mind based on what the
Speaker 1: promise was from the campaign. But you know, you're one
Speaker 1: of the few I don't know if you like the
Speaker 1: term celebrity, but you're a celebrity. You're one of the
Speaker 1: few celebrities that has been supporting this guy from the
Speaker 1: beginning and still supports them all the way through. So
Speaker 1: you've obviously seen a lot of the crazy on the
Speaker 1: other side. How do you think Trump is doing well,
Speaker 1: let me put it this way, and I think be
Speaker 1: examined my following sentence that the evidence will gag you.
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is as close to ted nu as you'll
Speaker 1: ever get in politics. He knows he's on the right course.
Speaker 1: He knows about logistics and responsibility an accountability. He knows
Speaker 1: about the Constitution, that it's a god given guarantee of
Speaker 1: God given individual rights that are founding fathers wrote down
Speaker 1: because we didn't believe in kings and emperors and despots
Speaker 1: and slave drivers. Even though we had to get over
Speaker 1: that embarrassing, horrific chapter. So my card, my, what do
Speaker 1: you call it when you get a rating in school?
Speaker 1: I don't remember that. I wasn't made attention before card.
Speaker 1: I never went to too busy learning stuff. Yeah, when
Speaker 1: you give Trump or raiding, I give him an a
Speaker 1: plus just because if you're driving such clear and present
Speaker 1: idiots that crazy, that's gold in my world. I mean,
Speaker 1: I do not intentionally drive idiots crazy, but I just
Speaker 1: stand up for truth, logic, common sense against self evident truth.
Speaker 1: You know that I have the right to choose my
Speaker 1: own religion. I have the right to have privacy in
Speaker 1: my home. I get to keep and bear arms, not
Speaker 1: just the king and his henchman, punks, etc. Etc. So
Speaker 1: I give President Trump an A to a plus just
Speaker 1: for the fact that he is going into uncharted territory.
Speaker 1: He's like Lewis and Clark of politics right now, with
Speaker 1: this pandemic and the abuse of the media, that the
Speaker 1: unbridled dishonesty and hate from the left. I mean, I
Speaker 1: deal with it. They call me a pedophile, they call
Speaker 1: me a draft dodger, They claim I the Native Americans, lies, lies, lies,
Speaker 1: because they can't debate me. They are incapable of debating me.
Speaker 1: And all I have to do is google my different
Speaker 1: debates and watch me eat the face of the idiots
Speaker 1: to try to tell me that my truth, logic, and
Speaker 1: common sense ain't accurate. So I love President Trump and
Speaker 1: his team. I think he is burdened by some of
Speaker 1: the excess baggage of past administrations, but he's deshackling that
Speaker 1: at a real rapid pace. And I pray for the
Speaker 1: man every day and his family, And I think he
Speaker 1: was sent here as a non politician to represent we
Speaker 1: the people more accurately than any administration I can remember.
Speaker 1: We are in a dark time right now as a
Speaker 1: country because of this pandemic. But you're a guy who
Speaker 1: seems to be able to find the optimism and things,
Speaker 1: seem to find the silver lining pretty easily, and certainly
Speaker 1: have a spiritual and psychological resilience in the face of
Speaker 1: all this. So what are you going to say to
Speaker 1: people right now that are really worried that America is
Speaker 1: never going to be the same. Well, it just may
Speaker 1: sound selfish, but it's just a big campfire that I'm
Speaker 1: humbled and honored to share every day. But go to
Speaker 1: my Facebook and listen to the millions of people who
Speaker 1: just reek of goodwill, decency, work, ethic drive to be
Speaker 1: the best that they can be. This country is wall
Speaker 1: to wall spiritual samurai producers. I know these truck drivers,
Speaker 1: and I know these ranchers. I know these beef producers,
Speaker 1: and I know these agricultures. Ares my god, They're alarm
Speaker 1: clock goes off earlier than anybody's and they go to
Speaker 1: bed later than anybody. Those are my people. I call
Speaker 1: them blood brothers, and I share hunting campfires with them
Speaker 1: every year because We donate hunts with uncle Ted because
Speaker 1: I'm so much fun and valuable for different military and
Speaker 1: children's charities. And I hang out with the most dedicated,
Speaker 1: down to earth, grounded, smart, dedicated We the people working hard,
Speaker 1: playing hard families who donate a lot of money to
Speaker 1: these charities just to hang out with me and get
Speaker 1: some backstraps around the campfire. So I know the heart
Speaker 1: and soul of every strata of the human experience. I
Speaker 1: get a call every month buck from Marcus Latreelle. I
Speaker 1: speak with Rob O'Neill and Garry O'Neill, the author of
Speaker 1: an American Warrior, Bob Levins, who served like twelve years
Speaker 1: in Vietnam, and a bunch of I actually shared a
Speaker 1: campfire buck with a survival of the Baton Death March
Speaker 1: and guys that were at Normandy and Iwashima. These guys
Speaker 1: think of this book, How can my haters and critics
Speaker 1: possibly deter me when I am sought out by that
Speaker 1: that heroic level of humanity seek out uncle Ted because
Speaker 1: they hear me promoting a Second Amendment, unapologetic and unbridled. Well,
Speaker 1: if they hear me promote conservation and hunting God family,
Speaker 1: and they find me, they find me somehow, and then
Speaker 1: they come and share a campfire with me, and I
Speaker 1: milk their knowledge and their heartship heartbreaks, and their hardships
Speaker 1: in battle. And I didn't serve officially in the military,
Speaker 1: but you know what I got behind me and on
Speaker 1: the mantel over here, I got a bunch of purple hearts,
Speaker 1: buck stop. And think that I didn't earn them. I
Speaker 1: tried to resist. But when a marine or a Navy
Speaker 1: seal puts a purple heart in your hand and says,
Speaker 1: I want you to have this, And over a more
Speaker 1: than twenty year, forty years, they have given me these
Speaker 1: purple hearts, and none of them knew each other, and
Speaker 1: they all said the same thing. I want you to
Speaker 1: take this, uncle ted, because you fight every day for
Speaker 1: what my buddies died for. They all sit almost like
Speaker 1: it was scripted, but it isn't scripted, because it's burned
Speaker 1: in their soul. And they know that I'm the only artist,
Speaker 1: the only celebrity, even though I'm just a deer hunter
Speaker 1: that gets in the media and promotes God, family, country, freedom,
Speaker 1: the Constitution to build a rights, the Declaration have been
Speaker 1: dependent the tent Tom Manage the Golden Rule, you know,
Speaker 1: all that really radical stuff. And so these old heroes
Speaker 1: seek out the goofy guitar player and give me their
Speaker 1: purple heart. And I'm supposed to listen to criticism from
Speaker 1: Michael Moore, who still hasn't discovered personal hygiene. I mean,
Speaker 1: my cocky factor is off the charts because of those guys.
Speaker 1: So there's a lot more that I had to say.
Speaker 1: With Ted NuGen, we really got into a whole bunch
Speaker 1: of stuff, including Hunting makes a great bow hunter. If
Speaker 1: Ted could play in any band or with any group
Speaker 1: or individual musician in history, who would it be. We
Speaker 1: had a great talk when almost an hour. We're going
Speaker 1: to release all of that as a podcast, so just
Speaker 1: make sure you listen, and we're going to release that
Speaker 1: on Thursday, so make sure you're ready for it. Subscribe now,
Speaker 1: it'll drop into your box. You can listen to it
Speaker 1: this weekend. Ted's a great guy. We had a lot
Speaker 1: of fun. Subscribe on Spotify, an Apple podcast wherever you
Speaker 1: listen to podcasts, the iHeart app and it'll be out
Speaker 1: on Thursday. You're in the Freedom Hunt. This is the
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show podcast. You have not seen the final
Speaker 1: text of this bill. But what I can say is
Speaker 1: that if it matches up with what has been reported,
Speaker 1: I will not support this bill. Personally. I'm not speaking
Speaker 1: for not speaking for a delegation, I'm speaking for anybody,
Speaker 1: but as the person who's representing the most impacted district
Speaker 1: in the country, my constituents are upset. My constituents were
Speaker 1: upset about the first package because it is insulting to
Speaker 1: think that we can pass such a small amount of
Speaker 1: money in the context of not knowing when Congress is
Speaker 1: even going to reconvene and pass such a small amount
Speaker 1: of money, pat ourselves on the back, and then leave
Speaker 1: town again. I am not here to support that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like she doesn't want like the stuff that's not enough
Speaker 1: money to happen because she's too busy quote saying that
Speaker 1: she or this is the quote coming up that she
Speaker 1: quote loves to see it with the plummeting price of
Speaker 1: oil and the devastation that the oil industry is going
Speaker 1: through right now. Remember she has an economics degree from
Speaker 1: bu and she won a very fancy prize for a
Speaker 1: science fair when she was in high school, So she
Speaker 1: totally knows stuff and is like really smart. Probably the
Speaker 1: most social media, famous Democrat politician in the country right now.
Speaker 1: I mean just you know is able to do these
Speaker 1: live streams, these stream of consciousness and just just share
Speaker 1: all these thoughts. And you know, the left is fascinating
Speaker 1: to me because they will hold up people like AOC
Speaker 1: and Biden who aren't very bright, aren't very impressive, don't
Speaker 1: really know anything, and these are there, these are there
Speaker 1: suggested leaders for us, and then they turn around and
Speaker 1: look at us like, how could you support Trump? We
Speaker 1: want to put the we want to put great leaders
Speaker 1: who are super smart forward. We're looking at them like,
Speaker 1: are you guys out of your minds? You're you're really
Speaker 1: gonna You're gonna shuffle old man Biden in front of
Speaker 1: us and think that this is inspiring. You're gonna have
Speaker 1: us take economic advice from you know cha Givara super

Speaker 1: out there to the audience that I told producer Mark
Speaker 1: that maybe I could start doing some hip hop hip
Speaker 1: hop rhymes for our sponsors and offer that up for
Speaker 1: some of our what we call live reads in the
Speaker 1: radio business. And producer Mark did not think that this
Speaker 1: would go over well. I just want to say, I'm
Speaker 1: not sure I agree with you, Producer Mark, how could
Speaker 1: you not agree? Have you heard yourself rap? Maybe that's
Speaker 1: what it is? No, But how would I know if
Speaker 1: I'm good? If I don't try, I can assure you
Speaker 1: you're not good. You know, you know team he doesn't
Speaker 1: have the faith. You know, he just doesn't have the faith.
Speaker 1: I feel like i'd probably, I think I'd be better
Speaker 1: than one would expect. And also want to remind everybody

Speaker 1: I'll take it. I'll take it. I can't tell say
Speaker 1: you're better than Rushi yet, so I don't even say
Speaker 1: I'm better than exactly. I mean, come on, it's like
Speaker 1: it's like you come into the NBA, you say you're
Speaker 1: better than Jordan. It's like, whoa, whoa, come on, come on,
Speaker 1: let me ask you this. Have you seen the Michael Jordan?
Speaker 1: Because we're I believe we're also gonna have Clay Clay
Speaker 1: Travis on, so I mean we just rack and stack
Speaker 1: amazing guests these days. Clay Travis later on the week
Speaker 1: to talk to us about the Jordan documentary. Have you
Speaker 1: seen it? Yes? Parts one and two came out Sunday
Speaker 1: on ESPN. It was fantastic. Everything is advertising. Was supposed
Speaker 1: to come out, I believe in July, but because of
Speaker 1: the pandemic and no live sports, they moved it up
Speaker 1: to April and it was a dream come true. The
Speaker 1: highest rated documentary ever in ESPN history. Over six million
Speaker 1: people watch your Live Wow, which is insane for a
Speaker 1: not live sporting event on ESPN. Yeah, I mean, I
Speaker 1: do feel like I did watch a lot of basketball.
Speaker 1: I'm tell you the truth. Proucer Mark, I watched a
Speaker 1: lot of basketball, probably from age ten till about you know, college,
Speaker 1: so maybe there's about an eight year span there or so.
Speaker 1: Or I watched the NBA and I saw I was
Speaker 1: watching the NBA, and then I was also playing basketball
Speaker 1: video games, which reinforced you know, you really got to know,
Speaker 1: you know, if you play enough sports video games, you know,
Speaker 1: like the deep bench players that you know, you really
Speaker 1: you really learn a lot about about the different rosters
Speaker 1: and the teams and everything else. And you know, the
Speaker 1: games got more and more sophisticated so that they had
Speaker 1: a pretty good representation of the players. But I the
Speaker 1: era when Michael Jordan was on the Bulls, I think
Speaker 1: you'd have to say, I think for most of us
Speaker 1: that was probably the single greatest and within my lifetime
Speaker 1: at least, the single greatest period in the NBA. I
Speaker 1: think in all time, I mean six championships in what
Speaker 1: eight years or nine years? Two three peats that they're
Speaker 1: the best team ever. Nobody will ever beat them. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I remember the Knicks were kind of the scrappy, tough
Speaker 1: guy team. And they they tried to take the Bulls
Speaker 1: down a number of times in the Jordan era and
Speaker 1: it just never had almost won the year that Jordan
Speaker 1: was playing baseball. Yeah, it just never happened. You know,
Speaker 1: Patrick Ewing, I know he's a great player, but I
Speaker 1: watched a lot of I always remember the Sports announced
Speaker 1: she was always Patrick Ewing every time you would score.
Speaker 1: That's because I went to the Garden a number of
Speaker 1: times to see it. And this is back in the day.
Speaker 1: Do you remember the Bomb Squad or just way too
Speaker 1: early for you with Trent Tucker and who's the guy
Speaker 1: I'm forgetting his name right now, Joe John Starks and
Speaker 1: Trent Tucker tea. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that that that in
Speaker 1: Charles Oakley and an Anthony Mason, And I mean I
Speaker 1: remember that era on the Knicks. They never had a
Speaker 1: true superstar, but they had a lot of grit, you know,
Speaker 1: they had a lot of fight, and Patrick Ewing was
Speaker 1: the closest thing they had to a superstar and he
Speaker 1: just never really got a superstar. Yeah. I mean, you
Speaker 1: put that team in a different era where Michael Jordan
Speaker 1: and the Bulls don't exist, they win championships. I don't know,
Speaker 1: It just always felt like, if you're a seven footer,
Speaker 1: you're you're a marquee move shouldn't be a fadeaway jump shot.
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say it. You haven't watched the NBA recently,
Speaker 1: now that's normal, guy, That is true. I did see shooting.
Speaker 1: Look I went to see Thankfully, I got it in
Speaker 1: before the you know, sporting events are closed. I did
Speaker 1: go see one Knicks game in twenty nineteen, and I
Speaker 1: gotta tell you, it was like it was like a
Speaker 1: jump shooting exposition. Just everyone just take it. But like
Speaker 1: these guys are seven feet tall and can shoot. It's
Speaker 1: like if it used to be if you were a
Speaker 1: seven footer and you could hit a free throw. Everyone
Speaker 1: was like, wow, look at that guy. You remember shock
Speaker 1: at the free throw line back in the shack. It
Speaker 1: was like, you know, you like picked up a ball
Speaker 1: in one hand and kind of threw it toward the rim.
Speaker 1: You know, he got more of a touch as he
Speaker 1: as he moved along, but he started out. I think
Speaker 1: he was like a fifty percent free throw shooter, which
Speaker 1: in the NBA is like unheard of. He definitely less
Speaker 1: than that. It was less than that. It was like
Speaker 1: thirty or forty percent. I would have to look. But
Speaker 1: he was awful. Yeah, he was an awful free but
Speaker 1: it was like, well he's amazing and seven feet tall
Speaker 1: and can dunk every three seconds and no one cared.
Speaker 1: Now you have these guys who are I mean, you
Speaker 1: know who's the guy I mean, I just actually saw
Speaker 1: him play. They call him the Greek Um. I can't
Speaker 1: remember his last time. Yeah, Giannis. Yeah, and it's dot
Speaker 1: Stop Boblis or something, right, I mean, but Giannis, that
Speaker 1: guy's like seven feet seven feet tall and plays like
Speaker 1: a two guard would have in the in the nineties. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he has comparisons to Magic Johnson, who was also like
Speaker 1: six ten but played point guard. Yeah. Yeah, So anyway,
Speaker 1: it is it is a change game in that regard.
Speaker 1: But we'll have Clay Travis on and you know, also,
Speaker 1: I want to see if producer Mark has any has
Speaker 1: a question or two for Clay Travis. We'll see if
Speaker 1: he wants to ask him something. Well, the guests can't
Speaker 1: hear me. That's the only problem. Buck. Yeah, well you
Speaker 1: can feed it to me and I'll I'll say this
Speaker 1: is coming from producer Mark whisper in your ear. I'm
Speaker 1: a very yeah, whispering into my ear like you like
Speaker 1: you do when we actually have a show to do, Like, hey, Buck,
Speaker 1: you gotta do the show. I'm like, I'm watching Netflix.
Speaker 1: Mark's like, hey, you gotta do your show. I'm like, oh, okay, fine,
Speaker 1: all right. Stephen, Hello, sir, Hello sir to you. I
Speaker 1: hope you and those dear to you or keeping well
Speaker 1: and stand happy and healthy. I see you often on
Speaker 1: Fox News Channel. I've heard you on radio for years.
Speaker 1: Glad you now have your own well deserved show. I'm
Speaker 1: impressed by you on so many levels. I don't mean
Speaker 1: to sound obsequious. You are areudite, eloquent, edifying, encouraging, and enlightening.
Speaker 1: I love literations. I cheer you on as God continues
Speaker 1: to use you in mighty ways. My prayers go out
Speaker 1: to you and yours well. Stephen. That is very, very kind,
Speaker 1: and I mean this. I mean this from the bottom
Speaker 1: of my heart. They actually just made my day. That
Speaker 1: was like the nicest thing anyone said about me in
Speaker 1: a long time. And it's meaningful. And I try to
Speaker 1: do the absolute best show I can for this audience
Speaker 1: every day, and it is you know, it is what
Speaker 1: keeps me going right. Now doing this show the best
Speaker 1: job that I can. I mean, I'm either doing radio
Speaker 1: or preparing for radio, or sleeping or eating a little
Speaker 1: too much. But those are the things that is my
Speaker 1: life right now. There is nothing else. So I'm trying
Speaker 1: to do every day, bring the most I can so
Speaker 1: that when you all tune in and listen, your time
Speaker 1: is well spent and you're getting a lot out of it.
Speaker 1: But also, you know, we ring that connection, that's that
Speaker 1: sense of we are we are in the hut together,
Speaker 1: you know. That's why we've always called this a freedom hut.
Speaker 1: It's a It's been a very big hut. Considering we're
Speaker 1: now in one hundred and sixty stations and all I
Speaker 1: think we're all on and pretty much in all fifty states.
Speaker 1: There might be a couple of states where we're not
Speaker 1: on a station officially, but we're close to it. Chess In,
Speaker 1: mister Buck, Captain Harris Swoop Sexton, it's been a while,
Speaker 1: but still listening anyway, listen to Biden's latest rattling interview
Speaker 1: and beginning to wonder if the dams are going to
Speaker 1: pull some kind of weekend at Bernie situation. Weekend at
Speaker 1: Biden's situation chess in. I mean, this is what I've
Speaker 1: I've taken the approach of talking about you know, el
Speaker 1: Sid the similar idea. I mean, they're just Biden is
Speaker 1: just the name. Biden is the vessel for the Democratic
Speaker 1: Party to defeat Trump. No one's expecting Biden to be impressive,
Speaker 1: no one's expecting him to do much of anything. He
Speaker 1: just has to show up and Democrats are going to
Speaker 1: do the rest for him. That that's the point. That's
Speaker 1: the whole purpose of this. And I don't know if
Speaker 1: they'll be able to pull it off or not. I mean,
Speaker 1: there's a recent I think nationally Biden's up a few
Speaker 1: points on Trump, and a recent poll I saw, but
Speaker 1: in the battleground states, Trump is up, and as we know,
Speaker 1: the battleground states are what really matters. So yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be close. My friends, it's gonna be a
Speaker 1: close election. Telling you right now, we're gonna it's gonna
Speaker 1: be a late night. We're in the freedom of We're
Speaker 1: gonna be able late on election night. Dave Buck, my
Speaker 1: son and husband, live in NYC. He is a manager
Speaker 1: at Facebook and his husband is a commercial pilot. They
Speaker 1: love living in the city, but after doing their state
Speaker 1: and city taxes are moving to Texas as soon as
Speaker 1: they can. What will it take for the state and
Speaker 1: city government to stop driving young professionals away, Dave, They're
Speaker 1: just it's just not worth it, man, for people to
Speaker 1: be here. It's just not worth it in terms of
Speaker 1: the taxes and the cost of living and everything else.
Speaker 1: It's fine in your twenties if you're gonna if you're
Speaker 1: gonna being of basketball, go hard and paint, you know,
Speaker 1: if you're going to really get after it, and if
Speaker 1: you're going to be a single person that spends too
Speaker 1: much money on food and enjoys the nightlife here and
Speaker 1: is engaged in a lot of that activity, then you
Speaker 1: could justify being here for a while. But to raise
Speaker 1: a family here and to build any real wealth for
Speaker 1: one's family, I don't mean to be rich. I just
Speaker 1: mean to build financial stability, very very tough here. I
Speaker 1: mean the entry level in Manhattan, at least the entry level.
Speaker 1: And this is also true in a lot of parts
Speaker 1: of Brooklyn, probably even some parts of Queen's now too.
Speaker 1: That you know, one bedroom apartments go for well over
Speaker 1: a million dollars for a one bedroom apartment. Think about
Speaker 1: that a lot of you are living in a three
Speaker 1: or four bedroom house, plenty of space. Maybe you've got
Speaker 1: an acre or two. And that house is not costing
Speaker 1: a million dollars, right, I mean we all know, in
Speaker 1: a million dollars in most of the country get you
Speaker 1: a big, big ass house, right, Producer Mark. I mean not. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: in New Jersey, even in striking distance of New York,
Speaker 1: it's not gonna get you a big ass house. But
Speaker 1: you can get a house. Yeah, you can get a
Speaker 1: house here for a lot less. And you can get
Speaker 1: a one bedroom apartment in Manhattan, but it's still high taxes,
Speaker 1: still expensive. I was looking just for kicks last night.
Speaker 1: I was bored. Houses in Florida. Oh my god, they're
Speaker 1: so cheap. Yeah, I know, man, great, I did the
Speaker 1: Freedom Hunt. You know it may we may uh maybe
Speaker 1: a whole I've got some moving boxes left. You know,
Speaker 1: we end up going down to Florida and uh be
Speaker 1: very nice. You know, no state income tax. I think
Speaker 1: about that every year. What that's like. Yeah, I look,
Speaker 1: I think New York I I it hurts me to
Speaker 1: say it because I lived here during the real, the
Speaker 1: real glory days of the city when it was the
Speaker 1: safest that ever was the most beautiful, the most look.
Speaker 1: It's been through a lot, obviously nine to eleven and
Speaker 1: now this, but I'm talking about and there was a
Speaker 1: there was a period there in between, really from about
Speaker 1: two thousand and three, two thousand and four until now,
Speaker 1: the city was really on it on just this, this
Speaker 1: unbelievably happy trajectory for a long time, getting just better
Speaker 1: and better, safer and safer, more, just amazing food and
Speaker 1: activities and restaurants and development and growth. But I think
Speaker 1: now a lot of there's an article in the Wall
Speaker 1: Street Jurnal today is saying a lot of people are
Speaker 1: leaving and they're not coming back. They're not coming back,
Speaker 1: They're gonna move somewhere else. So that's why when I'm
Speaker 1: when I'm giving like shout outs all over there, I'm like,
Speaker 1: what's up? What's up? KLBJ Austin, what's up? Ninety three
Speaker 1: point seven FM in Denver, what's up? You know? Just
Speaker 1: go down all of our stations. What's up? Sandy, Oh?
Speaker 1: San Diego? Oh San Diego? That would be okay. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's California taxes the only but I love. So let's
Speaker 1: go to the one place in the world that's more
Speaker 1: expensive than Yeah, I know that's the problem. We love.
Speaker 1: I love San Diego. I don't know. Maybe well, maybe
Speaker 1: someone in Team Buck has like a you know, a
Speaker 1: guesthouse by the beach that they don't use very much.
Speaker 1: They could let us like set up shop for a
Speaker 1: little bit, you know what I mean, just just for
Speaker 1: a little while, just to see how it goes. We'll
Speaker 1: do it for like a month, yeah or four? All right,
Speaker 1: more roll call coming. You're in the Freedom, hud. This
Speaker 1: is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. All right, hey, Buck,
Speaker 1: listening from here we go? It just comes up. I
Speaker 1: didn't even set this up this way from Freedom ninety
Speaker 1: three point seven in Denver, Colorado. I also use iHeart
Speaker 1: or your podcast when I'm on the road. Great, great,
Speaker 1: great interview with Jack Carr. Thanks for a little bit
Speaker 1: of diversion in these strange times. I'll be buying all
Speaker 1: three of his books and looking forward to the TV series.
Speaker 1: Been looking forward to a worthy successor to Vince Flynn.
Speaker 1: No offense to Kyle Mills, but Vince's plots and characters
Speaker 1: were his, not Kyle's. Keep up yours, keep up your
Speaker 1: awesome show. There we go, Buck the English. Hello to
Speaker 1: producer Mark. Delray Beach is a great place. I've had
Speaker 1: family their since nineteen ten. Stay safe and s shields high. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I've only been a Delray Beach once for one night.
Speaker 1: I was on a had a you know, I was
Speaker 1: there with a date and we went to a dinner
Speaker 1: and I just love I mean just walked around. I
Speaker 1: just love that place. I just loved it. It was great.
Speaker 1: So and Producer Mark likes it too. I do. That's
Speaker 1: an option. I spent the same amount of time there
Speaker 1: and I loved it. To Lula, stop that. Sorry, guys.
Speaker 1: I know you're here in a little bit of behind
Speaker 1: the scenes here, but Tallula is trying to dig a
Speaker 1: hole in my couch. You naughty little frenchy. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: make you wear a beret. She hates Producer Mark. She
Speaker 1: hates hats. She's fine with sweaters. We have fancy little
Speaker 1: sweaters for because you know she's a Manhattan dog. But
Speaker 1: if you put a hat on her head, she will
Speaker 1: just she'll like do summer salts until it comes off
Speaker 1: like she absolutely hates it. So that's one way to
Speaker 1: get her to that's right, a little French beret. So
Speaker 1: all the other dogs, all the other American dogs, and
Speaker 1: make fun of you. All right, let's see Ian, Hello Buckman,
Speaker 1: thanks for keeping the Freedom Hut safe and warm. But
Speaker 1: of course, but of course, messieurs. You know, I was
Speaker 1: wondering what kind of impact the global shutdown we'll have
Speaker 1: on the environment. I eat positive climate change. I think
Speaker 1: you'd be rather comical if the environment benefits greatly. And
Speaker 1: that's the reason libs start backing off the twelve of
Speaker 1: your doomsday calendar. Shield Tide, brother man. Hey, Ian, I
Speaker 1: mean unfortunate. I mean I hear what you're saying, and yeah,
Speaker 1: there's a lot less pollution. I mean, I'll tell you this.
Speaker 1: The air in New York City right now. You open
Speaker 1: the window and oh, it's like you're on a camping trip.
Speaker 1: It's crisp, it's clear, there's I had never had this
Speaker 1: experience before, being in the middle of Manhattan. But without
Speaker 1: all the without all the car fumes, and remember that's
Speaker 1: carbon monoxide that cars are put in the air. It's
Speaker 1: not just the carbon dioxide. There's actually really bad stuff.
Speaker 1: The air is so much cleaner, it's it's nice. But no,
Speaker 1: they're never going to turn the doomsday clock back because
Speaker 1: they want to control your life and they don't care
Speaker 1: what the facts are and all the rest of it. Dean, right,
Speaker 1: the Freedom Hut Quarantine cookbook. Do it, Buck Sexton, I'll
