WEBVTT - Buck’s First Thoughts - 12/9/20 0:00:01.360 --> 0:00:04.120 You're in the freedom hunt. This is the Buck Sexton 0:00:04.160 --> 0:00:07.520 Show podcast. Get more from Buck by following him on 0:00:07.600 --> 0:00:11.440 social media at buck Sexton on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. 0:00:12.039 --> 0:00:16.000 Welcome friends for the Buck Sexton Show. Now it is official. 0:00:17.320 --> 0:00:20.560 I'm in telling you for days about the way they 0:00:20.640 --> 0:00:27.640 are constricting the like the tyrannical snake. They are constricting 0:00:27.680 --> 0:00:34.720 around free speech, eroding and squeezing beyond recognition the First Amendment, 0:00:35.479 --> 0:00:40.440 and doing so in the most pernicious of ways. And 0:00:40.600 --> 0:00:44.600 here we are now with the official declaration from YouTube. 0:00:44.600 --> 0:00:48.559 But you have to understand. YouTube is owned by Google, 0:00:49.200 --> 0:00:52.000 and it has a parent company, a company known as Alphabet. 0:00:52.760 --> 0:00:55.920 And this is the most powerful internet company in the world. 0:00:55.920 --> 0:01:00.280 That's actually even more powerful than Facebook or Twitter or 0:01:00.320 --> 0:01:02.520 any of the others. The only thing that comes close 0:01:02.560 --> 0:01:09.160 to it really is Amazon. But Google is effectively an 0:01:09.200 --> 0:01:13.240 internet monopolist. They can demonetize you on YouTube. Sure they've 0:01:13.240 --> 0:01:17.759 already done that to me, but they also can make 0:01:17.800 --> 0:01:20.520 sure that you are dropped down in search results. They 0:01:20.520 --> 0:01:22.640 can decide what is seen about you and what is 0:01:22.680 --> 0:01:26.800 not seen about you. Enormous amounts of power. And not 0:01:26.840 --> 0:01:30.400 only this is a private company that led the American 0:01:30.480 --> 0:01:36.200 people and led the regulators in DC, led Congress to 0:01:36.280 --> 0:01:40.399 believe for a long time that it was effectively a neutral, 0:01:40.920 --> 0:01:45.319 algorithm based internet search and communications company. I mean it 0:01:45.319 --> 0:01:48.520 does a lot of things, right your Gmail, your Google searches. 0:01:48.960 --> 0:01:51.640 I can't even name all the things that Google's involved 0:01:51.640 --> 0:01:54.280 in right now, but they've let you know because they've 0:01:54.280 --> 0:01:56.560 put out on YouTube while we're still trying to figure 0:01:56.600 --> 0:01:59.680 out what's going on this on in this election. There 0:01:59.720 --> 0:02:05.280 are lawsuits currently out there in court that are making 0:02:05.320 --> 0:02:10.160 certain declarations. If you say that you support those lawsuits, 0:02:10.200 --> 0:02:12.240 that you think they have merit, that you think they're true, 0:02:12.520 --> 0:02:17.600 you run the risk of being canceled. And this is 0:02:17.600 --> 0:02:22.520 not theoretical. This is not a conspiracy. Official statement coming 0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:25.840 out from YouTube this morning, we just shared an update 0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:30.320 on YouTube election efforts, including how we're handling community guidelines. 0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:34.720 Our policies. These are This is a quote from official 0:02:34.840 --> 0:02:43.080 YouTube Public affairs. Our policies disallow content alleging widespread fraud 0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:47.160 or errors change the outcome of a historical US presidential election. 0:02:47.919 --> 0:02:50.960 We allow this type of commentary for current elections as 0:02:51.000 --> 0:02:55.200 election officials work to finalize counts. December eighth was the 0:02:55.280 --> 0:02:59.880 safe Harbor deadline for the US presidential election, and enough 0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:03.480 states have now certified their results to determine a president elect. 0:03:04.200 --> 0:03:10.040 As such, starting today, we will remove new content uploaded 0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:14.880 on or after December ninth, twenty twenty alleging that widespread 0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:18.880 fraud or errors change the outcome of the US presidential election. 0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:23.440 For example, we will remove videos claiming that a presidential 0:03:23.480 --> 0:03:26.680 candidate won the election as a result of widespread software 0:03:26.720 --> 0:03:32.280 glitches or counting errors. This content that includes sufficient context 0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:36.480 may remain, similar to how we allow COVID information that 0:03:37.000 --> 0:03:41.400 is sufficient with ESDA content, etc. Etc. Okay, if you 0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:45.600 say that this election was stolen now on YouTube, you 0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:49.720 will get your content pulled down. You will be demonetized. Now, 0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:52.600 you may think, and this is a big problem, we 0:03:52.640 --> 0:03:56.880 have so much of conservative media. We have these places 0:03:56.920 --> 0:04:00.560 we go, we have these areas where we think, okay, 0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:04.720 at least there's there's some safety there. Talk radio is 0:04:04.920 --> 0:04:08.960 really the ultimate example of that. We still we use 0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:11.920 the really the oldest method of mass communication short of 0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:16.359 the printing press in existence to great effect. And we 0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:19.440 have one cable channel. I know there are a couple others, 0:04:19.440 --> 0:04:22.680 but they're not in the distribution that they need to 0:04:22.720 --> 0:04:26.120 be in one hundred million homes to compete. We have 0:04:26.160 --> 0:04:28.760 one major cable channel and that's it. And a lot 0:04:28.800 --> 0:04:31.560 of you, I know are I've seen your notes, I've 0:04:31.560 --> 0:04:34.880 seen your messages about what's going on over there, So 0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:39.000 I'm aware of your thoughts on that and the rest 0:04:39.320 --> 0:04:45.080 of the media ecosystem, which determines what people are reading 0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:47.080 in the news, what people think is going on in 0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:49.800 the country. How dangerous is COVID. You have no way 0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:51.599 of knowing. The only way you could know is by 0:04:52.279 --> 0:04:55.560 reading media outlets. The only way you can actually get 0:04:55.600 --> 0:05:01.320 a real sense of this nationwide is newspapers, website, TV, radio, etc. 0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:05.080 That's true of all of us. This is the flow 0:05:05.080 --> 0:05:08.800 of information, which means it is our mass perception in 0:05:08.800 --> 0:05:12.159 the public of what's happening in this country. And the 0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:17.520 most powerful companies involved in that are straight up saying, 0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:21.520 Biden one, it's over, shut up, or we'll come after you. 0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:25.440 They're straight up saying it. And if you think that 0:05:25.560 --> 0:05:27.480 this that there are some people that are going to 0:05:27.560 --> 0:05:32.000 withstand this with their websites or withstand this and you know, 0:05:32.080 --> 0:05:35.359 continue on as is, at least on these platforms. I 0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:38.239 gotta tell you something it's not going to happen because 0:05:38.520 --> 0:05:41.760 they will do this. They can demonetize YouTube doesn't need 0:05:41.839 --> 0:05:46.599 conservative creators, doesn't need them, doesn't care. Same thing with Twitter, 0:05:46.720 --> 0:05:50.440 they don't need you, they don't need us. Very very 0:05:50.480 --> 0:05:53.680 wealthy companies that can withstand this. So what happens is 0:05:53.680 --> 0:05:56.839 also other companies that rely on Google for their ads, 0:05:57.160 --> 0:06:03.039 other media organizations that have enormous budgets and have a 0:06:03.080 --> 0:06:06.520 lot of payroll to meet, they're going to start falling 0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:11.520 in line. This is like a dictate from on high. 0:06:11.560 --> 0:06:16.279 This is essentially the left wing controlled Internet telling you 0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:19.440 it's over. Shut up, you're not allowed to talk about 0:06:19.480 --> 0:06:22.720 this anymore. If you do, we'll hit you. And then 0:06:22.720 --> 0:06:24.600 what happens is they don't hit the people that go 0:06:24.640 --> 0:06:27.880 along with it, and everyone forgets why is this person 0:06:28.240 --> 0:06:30.520 growing so fast online? You don't think that people are 0:06:30.520 --> 0:06:33.400 cutting side deals with these companies. You don't think that 0:06:33.440 --> 0:06:37.159 there's controlled opposition that are so called conservatives who are 0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:40.960 basically never trumpers, but they make deals with these internet 0:06:41.000 --> 0:06:43.320 companies so that they don't get touched. You can see 0:06:43.360 --> 0:06:47.880 who's upset about this and who still profits, who still 0:06:47.880 --> 0:06:50.440 grows and has no problem here who's getting throttled and 0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:57.400 who's not. Oh yes, there's money here, there's influence, there's prestige. 0:06:57.480 --> 0:07:01.160 There's a lot at stake for people. Watch very closely. 0:07:01.200 --> 0:07:03.440 Who speaks out about this and who just has the 0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:06.400 follower account keep going up and up. Who's just minting 0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:11.160 money while being a conservative? That's the game. This is 0:07:11.200 --> 0:07:16.720 how they run the most effective influence operation imaginable on 0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:19.320 a massive scale. This is how the This is how 0:07:19.320 --> 0:07:22.200 the left wins. This is how they win. I don't 0:07:22.280 --> 0:07:26.960 have an answer. I have a rallying cry that we fight, 0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:29.480 that we talk about it, that we raise the alarm, 0:07:29.520 --> 0:07:32.320 that we demand the appeal of Section two thirty. People 0:07:32.360 --> 0:07:34.480 say it won't do, it's not perfect. Well, this is 0:07:34.680 --> 0:07:38.160 awful what we have right now? What I mean, the 0:07:38.160 --> 0:07:42.640 the advantage the internet monopolists. Yeah, maybe they'll have a 0:07:42.680 --> 0:07:44.640 competitor or ten years from now. What if the country 0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:47.600 looks like in ten years if you can't say things 0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:52.160 that you believe to be true on the internet, And 0:07:52.240 --> 0:07:56.240 remember the creators that they go after, the content creators 0:07:56.280 --> 0:07:59.640 and the pundits and the commentators and the you know, 0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:03.240 the the reporters. They all they have to do is 0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:05.640 shut them down. And then how do people that are 0:08:05.640 --> 0:08:10.120 trying to you know, operate, operate at their jobs that 0:08:10.200 --> 0:08:11.960 aren't in the media. How do they get the information 0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:13.320 they need to know what's really going on? You know, 0:08:13.320 --> 0:08:15.400 where they get it from? The websites that aren't throttled, 0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:20.320 the websites that aren't shadow band, the people who are 0:08:20.360 --> 0:08:23.160 all of a sudden having all their stuff shared freely. 0:08:23.680 --> 0:08:28.240 We had just begun to go toe to toe with 0:08:28.280 --> 0:08:32.600 the left wing mainstream media apparatus the last really the 0:08:32.679 --> 0:08:35.760 last ten years or so, because because people realize that 0:08:35.800 --> 0:08:38.440 half the country wasn't being properly served. I mean, there's 0:08:38.440 --> 0:08:43.480 a reason that Fox News is a ratings juggernaut, and 0:08:43.559 --> 0:08:45.959 there's a reason that even though there's a tremendous amount 0:08:45.960 --> 0:08:49.160 of money to be made in conservative media, there's always 0:08:49.200 --> 0:08:52.480 these hurdles. You can't get the right sponsors. You know, 0:08:52.559 --> 0:08:55.160 if you're a major corporation, you won't go with them 0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:57.200 right that they won't do that for You can't get 0:08:57.200 --> 0:09:00.120 Mercedes Benz if you're a cable news channel, they of 0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:02.160 all of the on the right, on the left, or 0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:06.400 you can be lunatic MSNBC and you know, Amazon will 0:09:06.440 --> 0:09:09.400 sponsor you and all this. These are all of the impediments. 0:09:10.360 --> 0:09:12.200 So you want to know why a party like the 0:09:12.280 --> 0:09:17.440 Democrats who are for defunding police, socialism, abortion for all 0:09:17.520 --> 0:09:21.560 nine months of a pregnancy, toxic identity, politics, open borders. 0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:23.920 You want to know how they're able to say that 0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:27.040 they now won the election because of what I'm telling you, 0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:33.600 This is how they win. We have to fight against this, 0:09:33.640 --> 0:09:36.160 We have to understand these mechanisms. I know there are 0:09:36.160 --> 0:09:37.840 people out there who want to say, oh, but you 0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:40.120 know there's someone in the administra and the Trump administration 0:09:40.200 --> 0:09:42.240 and you know, now this is eight D chess and 0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:46.439 we're gonna know. I'm telling you that's not true. They 0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:50.960 think they've got us. They think they've got us. You're 0:09:50.960 --> 0:09:53.200 going to see a drop off. You're going to see 0:09:53.200 --> 0:09:55.839 people all of a sudden, they'll they'll be this this 0:09:55.920 --> 0:10:00.160 focus on other things, palatable stories for the right, but 0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:02.720 not digging in on I mean, you know, I dig 0:10:02.720 --> 0:10:04.240 in on COVID as hard as I dig it on 0:10:04.280 --> 0:10:09.680 the election stuff, or completely being bamboozled. We're having the 0:10:09.720 --> 0:10:12.440 wool pulled over our eyes as a nation. People are 0:10:12.520 --> 0:10:15.000 losing their livelihoods, they're going bankrupt, their lives are being 0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:17.959 ruined and they're not going to be fixed. In ninety 0:10:18.000 --> 0:10:20.800 days when the vaccine starts to hit critical masks, they're 0:10:20.800 --> 0:10:22.199 not going to be They're not lives aren't going to 0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:26.360 be fixed. They're not going to be made whole. So 0:10:26.400 --> 0:10:30.440 that has to that debate, that argument that stopping the 0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:33.160 madness has to happen. Now they're shutting it all down. 0:10:33.760 --> 0:10:35.520 I'm trying to come up with better answers. I know 0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:38.959 there are these platforms, but they're nascent platforms. There are alternatives. 0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:44.040 The Trump administration still has the power of the executive branch. 0:10:45.720 --> 0:10:47.400 Maybe there are ways that they could use it to 0:10:47.400 --> 0:10:49.480 some effect. In the meantime, I know they're focused in 0:10:49.679 --> 0:10:55.240 on what's really happening with this election, But keep in 0:10:55.280 --> 0:10:58.319 mind now the people around the administration who are trying 0:10:58.320 --> 0:11:00.600 to get the word out we're trying to talk about 0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:03.040 and they do it by keyword now, So if you 0:11:03.120 --> 0:11:09.079 talk about let's say suitcases and Georgia, you are targeted. 0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:11.720 There are people who build their whole businesses on this. 0:11:12.320 --> 0:11:16.240 Google can destroy name a website that is a favorite 0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:19.840 conservative website of yours, with the possible exception of foxnews 0:11:19.880 --> 0:11:23.120 dot com. Google can basically destroy them, cut off their ads, 0:11:23.200 --> 0:11:26.400 drop them down in search. Facebook the same thing can 0:11:26.440 --> 0:11:31.080 destroy them. When I worked for a website years ago, 0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:35.160 the Facebook traffic that we were that was taken away 0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:38.600 from the site when they changed the algorithm was catastrophic, 0:11:39.040 --> 0:11:42.360 led to a lot of layoffs. This is real power 0:11:42.360 --> 0:11:45.800 and its power to determine the conversation. It's power to 0:11:46.720 --> 0:11:50.040 tell you what you can say, and to tell you 0:11:50.080 --> 0:11:53.240 what you'll see and what you'll know. The Internet was 0:11:53.280 --> 0:11:59.200 initially this free and open playing field for ideas for communications. 0:11:58.960 --> 0:12:01.040 That's what it was. That the promise of it. I'm 0:12:01.040 --> 0:12:03.960 going back now to the nineties, you know, the CompuServe 0:12:04.040 --> 0:12:07.320 an aol era, right, The Internet was this place that 0:12:07.360 --> 0:12:09.640 put us all in connection with each other, but also 0:12:10.120 --> 0:12:14.040 gave you access to this repository that was endless of 0:12:14.160 --> 0:12:18.840 ideas and information and facts. And now the left, because 0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:23.959 they are collectivists and because they are inherently totalitarian in 0:12:24.000 --> 0:12:25.960 their mindset, because they think that they have all the 0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:28.760 absolute answers and no one else can have alternative answers. 0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:33.959 Now they want to use what was the greatest, the 0:12:34.320 --> 0:12:38.920 greatest apparatus for the spread of information and the increase 0:12:38.920 --> 0:12:41.439 of communications. They are using it now in a way 0:12:41.520 --> 0:12:47.680 really similar to China to control your mind. You don't 0:12:47.679 --> 0:12:50.600 think that's what's happening. They are programming you. They're showing 0:12:50.640 --> 0:12:52.720 you what you can see, they're showing you what you 0:12:52.760 --> 0:12:55.200 can read. And anyone who tries to get in and 0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:57.000 tell you a hold on a second, that's not the truth. 0:12:57.040 --> 0:13:00.440 They shut that person down. They make them scarer, They 0:13:00.440 --> 0:13:02.440 make it so that they can't get followers, they can't 0:13:02.440 --> 0:13:05.520 pay their bills. Maybe they got to find a new job, 0:13:05.559 --> 0:13:07.360 a new industry. Maybe they got to learn to code, 0:13:07.360 --> 0:13:12.680 go work for Google. I know, for the ride. For conservatives, 0:13:12.679 --> 0:13:17.040 we're generally just culturally in our media taste, we're not 0:13:17.120 --> 0:13:21.640 as as tech involved. You know. Somehow we don't have 0:13:21.679 --> 0:13:25.800 a single major and all props in respect to parlor 0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:28.400 and Rumble, I'm not I'm all on them. I use them. 0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:30.679 They're great, But we don't have a single major, critical 0:13:30.720 --> 0:13:34.319 mass social media platform that never mind his right wing 0:13:34.480 --> 0:13:37.200 that is devoted to the ideals of free speech. For 0:13:37.240 --> 0:13:38.599 those of you who are saying you want to, you know, 0:13:38.679 --> 0:13:40.520 you want to go listen to like some local radio 0:13:40.559 --> 0:13:42.760 guy right now, he's like, wow, No, we're gonna win 0:13:42.840 --> 0:13:45.080 and we're we're gonna win and just yelling all this stuff. 0:13:45.160 --> 0:13:48.520 Let me tell you, We're not going to win if 0:13:48.520 --> 0:13:53.680 this continues. We cannot beat this machinery's message unless we 0:13:53.720 --> 0:13:57.280 attack the machinery itself. You want to see how this 0:13:57.360 --> 0:13:59.520 election fight goes and want to be able to win 0:13:59.559 --> 0:14:02.400 the election fights that will come after it, We must 0:14:02.440 --> 0:14:08.200 address this problem. It is essential and it doesn't matter 0:14:08.240 --> 0:14:10.920 if you're on Twitter or Facebook or these things. It's 0:14:10.960 --> 0:14:16.319 the most powerful tool for controlling the conversation nationally that exists, 0:14:17.000 --> 0:14:20.080 bar not no question, and it has been now weaponized 0:14:20.080 --> 0:14:24.920 officially against Trump, against his supporters. We are we are 0:14:25.000 --> 0:14:30.360 in COVID lockdown, and now we are in election information lockdown. 0:14:31.480 --> 0:14:35.000 Doesn't really feel like America, does it. Thanks for listening 0:14:35.040 --> 0:14:38.520 to the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Get the latest news 0:14:38.520 --> 0:14:43.920 and information from Bucks by heading to buck Sexton dot com. 0:14:44.120 --> 0:14:53.720 Remember Russia collusion. This was a truly bizarre, deranged, evidence 0:14:53.840 --> 0:14:57.920 free theory that the Trump campaign and then Donald Trump 0:14:58.000 --> 0:15:03.480 himself worked with the Russians to somehow steal the twenty 0:15:03.520 --> 0:15:08.320 sixteen election. This was treated as gospel by the mainstream 0:15:08.360 --> 0:15:11.840 media for three years. I mean they still do now. 0:15:11.920 --> 0:15:18.000 But this was something they continued on pretending was true. 0:15:18.440 --> 0:15:23.360 Was there any effort ever to penalize people online for 0:15:23.520 --> 0:15:28.640 the lies of Russia collusion? Has any scrubbing of social 0:15:28.680 --> 0:15:32.600 media accounts or websites occurred where they said, you know what, sorry, 0:15:33.200 --> 0:15:36.560 that was all a lie and that was used as 0:15:36.600 --> 0:15:40.680 a political weapon to undermine the sitting president President Donald J. Trump? 0:15:40.840 --> 0:15:43.480 Was there any of that, know, But now that they 0:15:43.520 --> 0:15:45.760 think the power is transferring to their hands, in fact, 0:15:45.800 --> 0:15:48.240 they're ensuring the power will transfer into their hands with 0:15:48.360 --> 0:15:51.480 moves like this, Now they're going to want to use 0:15:51.520 --> 0:15:57.280 it and they want to engage in reprisals. They're looking 0:15:57.360 --> 0:16:00.760 to make examples of people too. And they pretend that 0:16:00.800 --> 0:16:03.040 this is around some principle. I mean, why aren't we 0:16:04.000 --> 0:16:08.680 having these social media CEOs sit before the American people 0:16:08.680 --> 0:16:13.320 that explain how Russia collusion is not something that was 0:16:13.360 --> 0:16:17.920 ever throttled, band shadow, band shut down, demonetized, never led 0:16:17.920 --> 0:16:21.680 to any of that, even though it was all lies. CNN, MSNBC, 0:16:21.800 --> 0:16:24.560 The New York Times, the Washington Post, the LA Times, 0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:27.960 go down the list, PBS, all these different channels and 0:16:28.000 --> 0:16:34.440 stations just full of insane lies about Russia collusion. Oh 0:16:34.560 --> 0:16:37.600 any day now, Oh. Rachel Maddow built a huge audience 0:16:37.640 --> 0:16:41.760 at MSNBC lying to them like a bunch of idiots 0:16:41.800 --> 0:16:45.480 about how Trump was a Russian Kremlin asset, never apologize 0:16:45.520 --> 0:16:48.120 for it, never penalized for it. So I want us 0:16:48.120 --> 0:16:51.720 to understand what the new rules are. They can lie 0:16:52.200 --> 0:16:56.800 about the president, the sitting president. They can call him 0:16:56.840 --> 0:16:59.480 a traitor, they can call him a criminal, they can 0:16:59.520 --> 0:17:03.520 call him anything they want, and they can use the 0:17:03.640 --> 0:17:08.120 media ecosystem as an echo chamber. So they convince enough 0:17:08.840 --> 0:17:13.919 foolish Americans that this is actually true. But on the 0:17:13.960 --> 0:17:18.040 other side, for real questions like what are we doing 0:17:18.080 --> 0:17:20.840 on COVID and what happened to this election, they shut 0:17:20.840 --> 0:17:23.840 it down. So not only will they prevent us from 0:17:23.880 --> 0:17:29.000 getting answers, they use that same information control, that same 0:17:29.040 --> 0:17:33.240 apparatus of propaganda to lie to our very faces. They 0:17:33.280 --> 0:17:35.679 say they're doing this to prevent lying and to protect 0:17:35.720 --> 0:17:40.119 facts and accuracy until they all have to be held 0:17:40.119 --> 0:17:45.120 to account for Russia collusion. This is a farce. You're 0:17:45.240 --> 0:17:47.960 in the freedom hunt. This is the buck Sexton Show 0:17:48.040 --> 0:17:52.080 podcast from more buck Head to Bucksexton dot com and 0:17:52.160 --> 0:17:56.400 remember to subscribe to the podcast. Are now for some 0:17:56.680 --> 0:18:00.639 good news, although in a way it's also troubling that 0:18:00.720 --> 0:18:04.719 it came to this. I told you that General Flynn 0:18:05.920 --> 0:18:08.800 was pardoned by the President. You'd no doubt have seen 0:18:08.880 --> 0:18:11.080 or heard that a lot of places. It was pretty 0:18:11.080 --> 0:18:14.840 big news when it happened. And in response to that, 0:18:15.920 --> 0:18:21.360 you had Judge Emmett Sullivan produce a thirty four page 0:18:22.800 --> 0:18:27.760 opinion from the Federal Bench that shows you what final 0:18:27.880 --> 0:18:32.719 stage Trump derangement syndrome looks like. General Flynn is an 0:18:32.800 --> 0:18:36.280 innocent man. They ruined this guy, and they used the 0:18:36.440 --> 0:18:39.720 law to settle political scores against him. They ruined this guy, 0:18:40.160 --> 0:18:46.440 or tried to based on lies, deception, the destruction of 0:18:46.520 --> 0:18:51.680 his constitutional rights. It was all politicized. It was a 0:18:51.760 --> 0:18:54.960 partisan hit. That's what they did to General Flynn. We 0:18:55.040 --> 0:19:00.840 all know it. This is very clear. But it took 0:19:00.920 --> 0:19:03.520 a pardon from the President of the United States to 0:19:03.560 --> 0:19:08.240 get a federal judge to stop going after him. And 0:19:08.320 --> 0:19:12.040 then he wrote a thirty four page thirty four page 0:19:12.040 --> 0:19:14.160 opinion from the Bench where he talked about how Flynn 0:19:14.240 --> 0:19:16.320 is guilty and the administration shouldn't have done this, and 0:19:16.320 --> 0:19:18.199 this is you know, yes, they have the power, but 0:19:18.240 --> 0:19:21.080 this is a miscarriage of justice. Like a lunatic. He 0:19:21.160 --> 0:19:28.240 continued a prosecution by judge after the Department of Justice, 0:19:28.400 --> 0:19:32.240 which is the prosecutorial arm of the federal government, dropped 0:19:32.320 --> 0:19:35.160 the case and told him we never should have brought 0:19:35.240 --> 0:19:38.720 this case. But he thinks he's respecting the system by 0:19:38.760 --> 0:19:41.800 trashing it because he doesn't like a decision that they made. 0:19:41.800 --> 0:19:45.000 It was their decision. What is this guy doing? Yes, 0:19:45.680 --> 0:19:48.399 General Flynn is no longer in criminal jeopardy and he 0:19:48.480 --> 0:19:52.679 has been officially pardoned. But we also need to know 0:19:52.720 --> 0:19:55.919 that Judge Emmett Sullivan is a Trump deranged lunatic and 0:19:56.040 --> 0:19:58.560 he should be and I mean this removed from the 0:19:58.600 --> 0:20:05.240 federal bench and barred forthwith right away. That's what should happen. 0:20:05.560 --> 0:20:08.560 This guy is scary. Do you think if you're a 0:20:08.600 --> 0:20:11.639 person known in public life as a conservative, as a 0:20:11.640 --> 0:20:13.119 Trump supporter, do you think that you could get a 0:20:13.119 --> 0:20:18.119 fair trial and Judge Emmett Sullivan's courtroom. This guy's a 0:20:18.119 --> 0:20:20.400 federal circuit judge in DC. It's a pretty big deal. 0:20:20.760 --> 0:20:22.960 You think you get a fair trial? Absolutely not. This 0:20:23.000 --> 0:20:26.480 guy's a disgrace, a disgrace to the judiciary. But he 0:20:26.560 --> 0:20:32.000 shows you what we're up against. This was unheard of 0:20:32.880 --> 0:20:36.040 when the when the DJ says, the judge doesn't get 0:20:36.040 --> 0:20:37.800 to pick somebody. Does a judge get to say, you 0:20:37.800 --> 0:20:39.520 know what, I don't like this guy. I'm gonna bring 0:20:39.640 --> 0:20:42.280 him into my courtroom and prosecute him. It's basically what 0:20:42.320 --> 0:20:45.080 they did to Judge Sullivan, I mean, to General Flynn, 0:20:47.240 --> 0:20:52.399 completely insane, but I'm very so so it's good that 0:20:52.600 --> 0:20:54.840 General Flynn is no longer in criminal jeopardy, but they 0:20:55.560 --> 0:21:01.200 dragged him through four years of this madness, four years 0:21:01.560 --> 0:21:08.199 of this insanity for what, for what? To make an 0:21:08.240 --> 0:21:13.880 example of him? And unfortunately that still stands. Do you 0:21:13.920 --> 0:21:18.520 think that now people might have second thoughts, especially to 0:21:18.600 --> 0:21:23.800 support Trump if he's leaving that Oval office in January, 0:21:23.840 --> 0:21:26.960 which and I'll leave it to you. I'll leave the 0:21:27.000 --> 0:21:32.640 percentages to you, but certainly as a possibility, I think 0:21:32.640 --> 0:21:34.359 we could say it's a probability. I've been saying that 0:21:34.400 --> 0:21:38.120 for weeks if that happens. Do you think that people 0:21:38.160 --> 0:21:40.639 are going to be a little bit concerned about what 0:21:40.640 --> 0:21:43.760 could happen to them if they go forward and support 0:21:44.080 --> 0:21:46.639 Donald J. Trump? You think that may be something to 0:21:46.800 --> 0:21:50.760 consider her because I do. I do. I think there 0:21:50.760 --> 0:21:53.240 are going to be a lot of people who say, oh, 0:21:53.680 --> 0:21:58.920 what are my risks here? What's going to happen? Here 0:21:59.040 --> 0:22:02.600 is the Attorney General for New York State, Leticia James, 0:22:04.200 --> 0:22:10.959 who is straight up threatening like a mob boss, threatening 0:22:11.119 --> 0:22:16.919 prosecution of Donald Trump by her state when he leaves office. 0:22:17.840 --> 0:22:24.680 Play seven. It's important to understand he is pardoned from 0:22:24.720 --> 0:22:27.960 federal crimes, but he has not pardoned from state crimes. 0:22:28.200 --> 0:22:31.160 Last year, I introduced a bill in the state legislature 0:22:31.280 --> 0:22:34.840 which would close the pardon loophole so that individuals such 0:22:34.840 --> 0:22:37.760 as the President of the United States would not evade justice. 0:22:38.119 --> 0:22:41.240 It's important that we have this check on presidential powers, 0:22:41.320 --> 0:22:44.800 and in the legislature, the state legislature. I'm so happy 0:22:44.840 --> 0:22:46.880 they passed that bill and it is now the law 0:22:46.920 --> 0:22:50.520 in the state of New York. President Trump cannot avoid 0:22:50.640 --> 0:22:53.320 justice in the great state of New York. People have 0:22:53.440 --> 0:22:57.000 asked me, should the president pardon himself? The answer is yes. 0:22:58.920 --> 0:23:01.080 What's what happens if he pardons? If he writes a 0:23:01.280 --> 0:23:05.960 preemptive pardon for himself and his family members? Think about this? What? 0:23:06.200 --> 0:23:09.800 What what's the downside? Oh, everyone's gonna scream Oh, look 0:23:09.800 --> 0:23:12.000 what he did. He's a criminal. They're saying that. Anyway, 0:23:12.680 --> 0:23:14.879 there's no fair minded person who looks at Trump and 0:23:14.880 --> 0:23:17.960 look looks at what's going on right now and says, yeah, 0:23:18.000 --> 0:23:21.880 he'll he'll be left alone in private life. They'll they'll 0:23:21.920 --> 0:23:25.159 back all, don't let him go all, you know, go 0:23:25.280 --> 0:23:29.840 lead a quiet family life with his kids and grandkids. 0:23:29.840 --> 0:23:33.840 And nope, no, we chanted lock her up. And then 0:23:33.920 --> 0:23:36.760 hillar reevaded justice even though she did break the law. 0:23:37.320 --> 0:23:41.040 They will go after Trump and they'll fabricate crimes. That's 0:23:41.040 --> 0:23:45.080 how they play the game. We play, you know, two 0:23:45.119 --> 0:23:50.040 hand touch. We're playing flag football here in politics, they 0:23:50.160 --> 0:23:53.359 are putting on brass knuckles and hitting us in the 0:23:53.359 --> 0:23:55.240 back of the head when the ref is not looking. 0:23:55.800 --> 0:23:59.320 That's how they play the game. Unfortunately, I think we're 0:23:59.320 --> 0:24:02.880 going to get another another lesson than that here very soon. 0:24:04.600 --> 0:24:08.560 They're gonna they're gonna go after people with prosecutions. They're 0:24:08.560 --> 0:24:11.200 gonna go after people with the irs. Oh but they 0:24:11.240 --> 0:24:16.680 talk of unity, remember that in their little self congratulatory delusion. 0:24:17.000 --> 0:24:21.800 We just want the American people to unify. But remember 0:24:22.880 --> 0:24:25.360 New York State charges. It is true, you can only 0:24:25.400 --> 0:24:29.399 pardon yourself from federal charges. You can you cannot clear yourself, 0:24:29.440 --> 0:24:34.159 even as president, from state charges, and nor could he 0:24:34.200 --> 0:24:37.119 clear his family members from that. And they've been talking 0:24:37.119 --> 0:24:39.440 about this for a long time now. You might say, buck, 0:24:39.520 --> 0:24:43.560 but can they really get him? I don't know. Can 0:24:43.600 --> 0:24:47.320 they fabricate a crime? They fabricated Russia collusion. But even 0:24:47.359 --> 0:24:50.399 if they can't convict Trump or any of his family members, 0:24:50.960 --> 0:24:54.800 they can certainly investigate them, hound them, go after them, 0:24:55.720 --> 0:24:59.520 harass them. I think Ivanka Trump just what was it 0:24:59.560 --> 0:25:03.600 a week ago? Was was deposed having to do with 0:25:04.040 --> 0:25:09.560 inauguration spending? What? Yeah? Do you think there'll be any? 0:25:09.640 --> 0:25:10.960 Let the asking is, do you think there'll actually be 0:25:11.000 --> 0:25:15.200 any federal criminal charges about the inauguration spending? No? No, 0:25:15.840 --> 0:25:17.879 not not against Ivanka, not against any of the drums. 0:25:18.040 --> 0:25:21.000 Not gonna happen. But why well they they've got somebody 0:25:21.040 --> 0:25:23.639
