Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom hunt. There's big trouble in Chicago,
Speaker 1: plus axios. The website stands for activism and not journalism.
Speaker 1: CrossFit gets canceled. Ruth Bader Ginsberg calls out flag kneeling.
Speaker 1: Would New York actually be better off with no mayor
Speaker 1: and a new Bill and Ted movie? Could it be real?
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton decoding the news and disseminating information with actionable intelligence.
Speaker 1: Make no mistake American Great, You're a great American again.
Speaker 1: This is the Buck Sexton Show. Thomas CIA analysts can
Speaker 1: speak to three hours without a phone call. Try doing
Speaker 1: that sometimes. No, we won't be defunding our police. We
Speaker 1: won't be dismantling our police. We won't be disbanding our police.
Speaker 1: We won't be ending our police force in a city.
Speaker 1: I guess you might have some cities and want to try.
Speaker 1: But it's going to be very very sad situation if
Speaker 1: they did, because people aren't going to be protected. People
Speaker 1: do a tremendous job of protecting citizens of our country
Speaker 1: and that's what that's what they're paid for. But whether
Speaker 1: they were paid or not, that's what they do. And
Speaker 1: you know, somebody put it very beautifully before where they
Speaker 1: said they protect people, risk their own lives for people
Speaker 1: they've never seen before. People in many cases they don't know.
Speaker 1: You're protecting the lives of people you don't know. And
Speaker 1: it's an incredible thing. That's a great honor to be
Speaker 1: with you all. Welcome to the buck Sex and Show everybody.
Speaker 1: President Trump making it clear that at least as far
Speaker 1: as he is concerned, there will know there will not
Speaker 1: be a defunding of police. We are not going to
Speaker 1: go down that road of insanity, not without a fight.
Speaker 1: At least, it's good to hear that the leader of
Speaker 1: the free world, the commander in chief, understands exactly what
Speaker 1: we are up against. Now that this narrative of defunding
Speaker 1: the police, they'll keep shifting it depending on what the
Speaker 1: needs are at any given moment. One day it will
Speaker 1: be no, no, I mean actually cut the police budgets entirely.
Speaker 1: The next day it'll be, well, just move some of
Speaker 1: the funding around to some social justice causes. I've seen
Speaker 1: other people are picking up now on what I had said,
Speaker 1: whatever it was now two days ago, Law and order,
Speaker 1: social service workers. That's not going to be the best
Speaker 1: show you've ever seen. It's not gonna work out. It's
Speaker 1: not gonna work out very well for those social workers.
Speaker 1: That's not going to happen, not going to be good.
Speaker 1: And all of this claim, all these claims that we
Speaker 1: should have police disarmed, as if that would make things
Speaker 1: inherently better. In fact, if you disarm police, anyone who
Speaker 1: knows anything about police tactics will understand that the likelihood
Speaker 1: of having to use exactly some of these in order
Speaker 1: to subdue some Remember, if you're the first, if you're
Speaker 1: the cop on the street, you're the first on the scene. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you can call for backup, but you're gonna have to
Speaker 1: handle the situation that arises. And if you try to
Speaker 1: arrest somebody for drunken disorderly and you don't have a gun,
Speaker 1: guess what can end up happening. You may be in
Speaker 1: a position where they come at you with what you
Speaker 1: think is is a threat to your life and you
Speaker 1: one don't have the ability to respond appropriately. Two you
Speaker 1: also in using you know, not having some of these
Speaker 1: additional force escalation procedures in place, the ability to escalate force.
Speaker 1: You know, maybe you're gonna go for that chokehold or
Speaker 1: something because you're really scared, because it's you or this
Speaker 1: person who is coming after you. And I know now
Speaker 1: in New York that they've passed a law to make
Speaker 1: chokeholds illegal, just now passing more and more restrictions on cops.
Speaker 1: Cops are the first ones to get called out. I
Speaker 1: saw the thing the President tweeted about Buffalo. You know,
Speaker 1: this President, it's so hard for me because I feel
Speaker 1: like he's doing so much and get so little help
Speaker 1: all that all you see from the press is insanely
Speaker 1: negative stuff about him, and they're completely unfair, and everything
Speaker 1: he says about them being fake news is true. But
Speaker 1: was this, you know, was this necessary right now? Because
Speaker 1: now we get a whole news cycle focused on what
Speaker 1: Trump said about a protester in Buffalo who got pushed
Speaker 1: by cops who have now been suspended and charged and
Speaker 1: criminally charged. Another cop I think here in New York
Speaker 1: has been charged. So now they're they're charging cops with
Speaker 1: criminal assault. And you've got to remember that that now
Speaker 1: is going to factor through it in the thinking of
Speaker 1: law enforcement across the country when they're trying to determine
Speaker 1: how much force they can use in different circumstances. And
Speaker 1: people will say, well, that's a good thing, isn't it Buck? Yeah,
Speaker 1: but this is a it's an imperfect world. When someone
Speaker 1: is coming at you, you know what, what are you
Speaker 1: supposed to do? When someone's throwing a rock at you?
Speaker 1: You're supposed to sit there and take it. Are you
Speaker 1: supposed to be able to tackle the person? How do
Speaker 1: you tackle them? I mean there was all this police
Speaker 1: training that goes into it, but at some level, this
Speaker 1: is one human being trying to physically subdue another. And
Speaker 1: really a part of this should be don't do things
Speaker 1: that make cops have to rescue through the ground and
Speaker 1: fight you that that is a conversation worth having as
Speaker 1: a society, right, whether you're a protester or just somebody else.
Speaker 1: A lot of people go through life without ever having
Speaker 1: to be wrestled to the ground by police. And most
Speaker 1: people who are arrested, no, while the cops says you're
Speaker 1: under arrest, all right, you put your hands behind your back,
Speaker 1: you go to the station, and that's it. You know,
Speaker 1: Resisting arrest leads to so much of this. But we
Speaker 1: can't even talk about resisting arrest right now. I can't
Speaker 1: even have that discussion. People say, oh, you're justifying police violence. No,
Speaker 1: No one likes bad cops. No one likes police brutality
Speaker 1: because everybody understands what that means for them in their
Speaker 1: day to day lives. It means that there's the possibility
Speaker 1: that they themselves could be And people say this doesn't
Speaker 1: happen to white people are lying or just ignorant, don't
Speaker 1: know anything. It does. Police brutality happens to white people.
Speaker 1: It happens to people have alread happens Latinos. You know,
Speaker 1: you don't hear a lot about that either, are you
Speaker 1: just go for in this movement the slogans and the
Speaker 1: claims that have the maximum psychological and emotional impact to
Speaker 1: divide us and to mobilize the left. They claim they
Speaker 1: want to fix things. They don't want to fix things.
Speaker 1: They want to use this. They want to exacerbate the
Speaker 1: situation and then mobilize against their perceived political enemies, they
Speaker 1: being the left and the Democratic Party. Whether you know,
Speaker 1: we've seen this, Black Lives Matter, Occupy Wall Street, Antifa,
Speaker 1: all these different political entities that have come up in
Speaker 1: the last decade or so, and it's just it always
Speaker 1: becomes the same thing. A vessel, you know, the tip
Speaker 1: of the spear for the broader left to push its agenda.
Speaker 1: That's what's happening. Now, we see this, let me see this,
Speaker 1: and I know they claim to be so in favor
Speaker 1: of the powerless. Meanwhile, and I'll get to some of
Speaker 1: these stories over the course of the show today. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: you have members of Congress taking a knee, Democrat members
Speaker 1: of Congress taking a knee in subservience or perhaps solidarity
Speaker 1: with this group. You have all of corporate America just
Speaker 1: falling over itself to show that they support the movement.
Speaker 1: What does the movement even really stand for? But it's
Speaker 1: very similar to climate change. Do you believe in climate change? Yes, well,
Speaker 1: then you have to accept all these other policies and
Speaker 1: ideas that I put forward. Do you do you accept
Speaker 1: the Green New Deal? Well? No, Well, I thought you
Speaker 1: said you believed in climate change. The same idea is
Speaker 1: present here with the Black Lives Matter movement. Do you
Speaker 1: support black lives Of course, everyone supports black lives to
Speaker 1: do anything, but that would be deeply immoral and disgraceful. Well,
Speaker 1: then you must also support defunding cops, disarming cops, federalizing
Speaker 1: law enforcement. Which how is that going to make things better?
Speaker 1: Look at what we've seen from the FBI recently. But
Speaker 1: you better support all that stuff too, right, No, I
Speaker 1: don't support all of those other policy decisions. I thought
Speaker 1: you said you support black lives. This is how they
Speaker 1: do it. And so, on the one hand, you're not
Speaker 1: really able. It's not really possible for you to oppose
Speaker 1: the movement without subjecting yourself to the worst kinds of
Speaker 1: attacks and smears and the politics of personal destruction. And
Speaker 1: so you have to go along with it, and you
Speaker 1: have to go along with all of it, and you
Speaker 1: have the people that are a part of the movement
Speaker 1: feel incredibly self righteous about it all because the moment
Speaker 1: that they're challenged on a policy issue, Hey, defunding cops
Speaker 1: is really stupid. It's well, I'm here because I support
Speaker 1: black lives. Therefore I always have the moral high ground
Speaker 1: no matter what I want, no matter what I tell
Speaker 1: you, you you have to do kneel bow, wash my feet,
Speaker 1: do whatever I say as a leftist, as a lib
Speaker 1: no matter what I claim. If you push back, I
Speaker 1: can always retreat to I'm just here to support black lives.
Speaker 1: Why do you have a problem with that? And you say, well,
Speaker 1: but that's it. Your whole argument here is highly dishonest,
Speaker 1: but it's the left, of course, the argument's dishonest. It's
Speaker 1: all meant to force you to do things that you
Speaker 1: don't want to do, and to do things that you
Speaker 1: think are bad for society, to force you to not
Speaker 1: only be silent, but to support them. That's the big
Speaker 1: part about bending the knee. It's not enough to stand
Speaker 1: by and allow people to have their free speech rights.
Speaker 1: It's not to standby and be neutral to this whole debate.
Speaker 1: You must comply. You must comply. You have no choice
Speaker 1: but to agree with them, or else you are bad.
Speaker 1: That's the way this is all constructed. That's the purpose
Speaker 1: of the rhetoric of the approach, and it's very powerful.
Speaker 1: There's a reason that all the all the major corporations.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, you look at America. Where is
Speaker 1: the opposition to this movement coming from. It's it's not
Speaker 1: from the major institutions, and even members of the Republican Party.
Speaker 1: Don't even get me started on Mitt Romney. I'm look.
Speaker 1: I know that I think I could still say he
Speaker 1: was a better choice than Barack Obama at the time,
Speaker 1: but it doesn't matter. I'm embarrassed. I'm embarrassed that I
Speaker 1: voted for Mitt Romney. I'm embarrassed this guy's walking around.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Mit Romney cares so much about the minority
Speaker 1: community that he feels compelled to march and solidarity with
Speaker 1: Black Lives Matter. Has nothing to do with Mitt Romney
Speaker 1: feeling like he's just the greatest guy in the world.
Speaker 1: The virtue signaling you could choke on it. Oh Mit,
Speaker 1: such a such a disappointment. Mid is a disappointment. Marker
Speaker 1: Rubio is a disappointment. Now. I only understand why there
Speaker 1: was such outrage among GOP, among the goop circles, because
Speaker 1: when Trump came in, these people were exposed and all
Speaker 1: of a sudden you realize that it was really about them.
Speaker 1: And this is true of a lot of right wing
Speaker 1: conservative media, and it's true of a lot of politicians,
Speaker 1: and some of them have fallen in line a bit,
Speaker 1: but for a lot of them, it was really all
Speaker 1: about ego and all about them. But back to the
Speaker 1: Black Lives Matter movement. There is a transcript and audio
Speaker 1: you can hear the audio of it of a phone
Speaker 1: call in Chicago, which just had its most violent twenty
Speaker 1: four hour period ever. There is a transcript of this
Speaker 1: phone call, that is, and if you want to know
Speaker 1: how many, how many people are killed, I mean dozens
Speaker 1: of people are shot, people are killed. And the transcript
Speaker 1: does this phone call shows you that you're not being
Speaker 1: told how devastating these riots, how devastating this movement has been,
Speaker 1: not just to cities in general, but specifically to minority neighborhoods,
Speaker 1: specifically to areas of cities where there are people working,
Speaker 1: trying to get ahead, who are trying to do the
Speaker 1: right thing, Black and Hispanic owned businesses, and they're being
Speaker 1: burned down, destroyed. People have nowhere to shop, people have
Speaker 1: nowhere to go. They don't feel safe. And these are
Speaker 1: African Americans in cities like Chicago who are in a
Speaker 1: terrible situation because some small percentage of the American population
Speaker 1: has decided to take it upon themselves to riot and
Speaker 1: loot and destroy. And where's the Democratic Party on this?
Speaker 1: Pushing the narrative, They push the narrative while good people,
Speaker 1: black people, white people, all people. They push the narrative
Speaker 1: of black lives matter, while people suffer, while actual human
Speaker 1: beings are suffering from what has been done in weeks
Speaker 1: now of riots and protests. I'll take you through this
Speaker 1: conversation that happened in Chicago. It's stunning. You're in the
Speaker 1: Freedom Hunt. This is the Buck Sex and Show podcast.
Speaker 1: My ward is a blank show. I can't actually say
Speaker 1: what this alderman in the city of Chicago said on
Speaker 1: this tape from wtt W News, but this was eye
Speaker 1: opening and people are looking at it, hearing it, and
Speaker 1: they can read the transcript. You can hear the audio
Speaker 1: online too, of this phone call and saying why isn't
Speaker 1: this a bigger Why isn't every news network in the
Speaker 1: country covering what is happening to the third or wait, no,
Speaker 1: I think it's the fourth large. It's Houston, larger than Chicago,
Speaker 1: producer Mark. I think it's close, but one of the
Speaker 1: largest cities Top five Chicago, the windy City. Chicago named
Speaker 1: for Chicaqua, which means stinky onion because in fact, there
Speaker 1: was a stinky form of plant found by the river
Speaker 1: where the city of Chicago currently is true story actually,
Speaker 1: and I believe it comes from a it's algonquin. I
Speaker 1: think if my Native American history is correct, it does
Speaker 1: not mean the good Land. That's Milwaukee. As we learned
Speaker 1: from Wayne's World. Okay, back to Chicago and back to
Speaker 1: this news story. Did I'm producer Mark. I was trying
Speaker 1: to give you time to find out. Yea, Chicago is
Speaker 1: third behind a New York and el thank you, Chicago
Speaker 1: is third. I like to get the facts correct here. Okay,
Speaker 1: Chicago's third largest city in the country, and Alderman is
Speaker 1: effectively it's just a fancy way of saying a city
Speaker 1: council person. I mean, you know Alderman, City council, same thing.
Speaker 1: Fifty men, fifty Alderman. Fifty members of Chicago City Council
Speaker 1: are on this call with Mayor Lori Lightfoot and they
Speaker 1: talk about how and this was on Sunday, May thirty first,
Speaker 1: so this was right after some of the worst protests
Speaker 1: that happened that day alone. According to CBS CBS Chicago
Speaker 1: here there were six hundred and ninety nine arrests, almost
Speaker 1: all of them looters, one hundred and thirty two officers injured,
Speaker 1: forty eight shootings, and seventeen homicides. Seventeen murders one day.
Speaker 1: That's a lot. You don't need me to tell you that.
Speaker 1: I mean, you just extrapolate that, what if you had
Speaker 1: seventeen murders in the city of Chicago size every day
Speaker 1: for a year. It would be, I mean, would be
Speaker 1: the most violent place on earth by far, would be
Speaker 1: worse than really even some of the worst times in Siedaduarez,
Speaker 1: some of you may have seen in depictions in film
Speaker 1: and Warez. For a while on the US Mexico border,
Speaker 1: because of the drug cartels, there was, on a capita basis,
Speaker 1: the highest homicide rate in the world. It was a
Speaker 1: terrifying place. But and Jone Grillo, who has covered the
Speaker 1: cartels for many years decades down in Mexico, wrote a
Speaker 1: book in which he said that when you crunched the
Speaker 1: math on it and an assassination in Warez about a
Speaker 1: decade or so ago, when things were really really bad,
Speaker 1: you're looking at two thousand, well, two thousand and seven,
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight. An assassination costs less than one
Speaker 1: hundred dollars. That's that's what a hitman would be paid. Anyway,
Speaker 1: Warez a horribly scary place back then. I'm sure it's
Speaker 1: still not particularly safe now, but I haven't checked on
Speaker 1: it recently. Chicago sounds pretty darn terrifying too. Lightfoot, the mayor,
Speaker 1: said that this was a massive said that what happened
Speaker 1: was a massive, massive problem, and she described writers as
Speaker 1: just f word in lawless right now. Quote, I don't
Speaker 1: know about you, but I haven't seen blank like this before,
Speaker 1: not in Chicago. Mayor Lightfoot said, you go through this
Speaker 1: transcript and it is it is truly jaw dropping. I
Speaker 1: mean the right up on WTTW news of it is
Speaker 1: is um it's you read this, you say, how is this?
Speaker 1: How is this not filtered out? It's with fifty city
Speaker 1: council member. You know why, because they're all Democrats. Because
Speaker 1: they're all Democrats. And if you speak out and say
Speaker 1: that these riots were horrific and damaging and destroyed businesses
Speaker 1: and destroyed quality of life in minority in predominantly black
Speaker 1: communities in the city of Chicago, that interferes with Nettie
Speaker 1: and knee. So I'm so woke. It interferes with the narrative,
Speaker 1: so he can't do that. But finally, some actual reporting,
Speaker 1: you know, occasionally local news and this is what you
Speaker 1: see happening. So why local news is still sometimes journalism.
Speaker 1: Sometimes we'll put journalism before politics just because not because
Speaker 1: they are so ethical, but because they'll have a story
Speaker 1: that's so big and they know. I mean, I've never
Speaker 1: even heard of WTTW News before, and I'm in the
Speaker 1: news business, right. It's a local Chicago station, but they
Speaker 1: got such a big story that they have to run
Speaker 1: with it because there's dollars and cents attached to this one.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is getting their name out there all
Speaker 1: across the country. Why haven't we heard about this? This
Speaker 1: was what almost a week and a half ago. Why
Speaker 1: haven't we heard about this before? Oh, I'll tell you why.
Speaker 1: Thanks for listening to the bus show past. Remember to
Speaker 1: subscribe on Apple podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you
Speaker 1: get your podcasts. All right, So we have the audio
Speaker 1: for you of this call. Among the aldermen. They're fifty wards,
Speaker 1: which are like districts in the city of Chicago. I
Speaker 1: know a little bit about this. It was a good
Speaker 1: show years ago called Boss with Kelsey Grammar that did
Speaker 1: a lot of Chicago politics stuff. And I will tell
Speaker 1: you I actually producer Mark. I've never I've never really
Speaker 1: been to the city of Chicago. I went once for
Speaker 1: a day and didn't get to see anything and was
Speaker 1: just there to give a speech. So I got to
Speaker 1: spend more time in the Windy City. But this is
Speaker 1: this audio. You got to hear it. So Lori Lightfoot
Speaker 1: is the mayor, and she's speaking to members of the
Speaker 1: city council. And this is right after the looting and
Speaker 1: the riots and things that happened. And I would note that,
Speaker 1: you know, New York got a lot of attention because
Speaker 1: things here with the looting was really bad last week
Speaker 1: last Monday, you know, eight days ago, the looting was terrible,
Speaker 1: and the riots that have happened here in New York
Speaker 1: were appalling. And there's some been some bad stuff in DC.
Speaker 1: But I'm going to tell you right, and Minneapolis clearly
Speaker 1: had hold areas, you know, buildings burned down, the police
Speaker 1: station burned down. Chicago didn't get much attention in this,
Speaker 1: and I think we're starting to see why tough to
Speaker 1: make the case that this is all about justice, especially
Speaker 1: justice for Black Americans, when they're burning down businesses, are
Speaker 1: destroying and looting businesses that are staples of black neighborhoods.
Speaker 1: Where people get their food, where people get their medication.
Speaker 1: Where do they go? Now, that's a question that these
Speaker 1: aldermen are asking. Let me, there's a lot of finger
Speaker 1: pointing here. They're all Democrats too. This is and you
Speaker 1: see the problem that we're seeing out in the open
Speaker 1: now that we have before, is that Democrats ruined cities,
Speaker 1: ruined them. They've ruined Baltimore, They've ruined Detroit, they have
Speaker 1: ruined city after city. You know, Newark is in terrible shape. Democrats.
Speaker 1: I mean, find me Saint louis mostly Democrat, I think,
Speaker 1: terrible shape. I mean, find me a place where there
Speaker 1: have been these riots, there's been this looting, I'll find you.
Speaker 1: Democrats in charge. Because they think that if only they
Speaker 1: tax they tax the productive class a bit more, and
Speaker 1: if only they cut back on police, if only they
Speaker 1: tell police to stop doing so much aggressive policing, things
Speaker 1: will get better. We ran the experiment in New York
Speaker 1: in the nineties. Aggressive effective, targeted policing brings investment into
Speaker 1: a city, raises real estate prices, and most importantly of all,
Speaker 1: and you won't hear this from the media. Those cops,
Speaker 1: whether it's here at the NYPD or cops in cities
Speaker 1: across the country, when they're doing their jobs well and
Speaker 1: they're bringing murder and rape rates down, they are literally
Speaker 1: saving lives. They are preventing enormous amounts of pain and
Speaker 1: misery and despair, which overwhelmingly and predominantly is concentrated in
Speaker 1: black neighborhoods of major cities where is most of the
Speaker 1: I know the stats for New York very well. I
Speaker 1: don't need to keep focusing on this place, but this
Speaker 1: is where I am, and I can tell you that
Speaker 1: a vast majority, upwards of ninety percent of the homicides
Speaker 1: occur in neighborhoods that are almost entirely black and Hispanic.
Speaker 1: So when the cops bring the murder right down, they
Speaker 1: are saving the lives of black and in the case
Speaker 1: of New York Latino Americans. I mean, looking at this example,
Speaker 1: they're saving the lives of the people who are trying
Speaker 1: to provide for their kids, who are trying to show
Speaker 1: up to work and do their part and be productive.
Speaker 1: They're trying to take care of our fellow Americans. That's
Speaker 1: what cops are doing by doing their jobs. This idea
Speaker 1: that in cities where there are tens of thousands of
Speaker 1: robberies and hundreds of murders, and thousands of sexual assaults
Speaker 1: and rapes, everything's going to get better if we just
Speaker 1: cut the cops in half, cut their salaries way down,
Speaker 1: cut the numbers way down, less policing, and then people
Speaker 1: will respond, though the bad guys are still going to
Speaker 1: be the bad guys even with fewer cops. We learned
Speaker 1: this lesson in the seventies and in the eighties we
Speaker 1: learned it. We've run the experiment. But liberals want to
Speaker 1: go back, and I want to go back. But it's
Speaker 1: not really surprising. They still think that communism is a
Speaker 1: good idea, right. They still want to get us back
Speaker 1: to socialism. They look around the world and they take
Speaker 1: all the wrong lessons from history. This is why I
Speaker 1: think liberalism really is a form of mental illness or
Speaker 1: a delusion or something. I don't know what we should
Speaker 1: call it. Trump's arrangement syndrome is certainly should be classified
Speaker 1: as a mental illness because it definitely exists. So I
Speaker 1: bring you now the actual audio from this and I'm
Speaker 1: going to play it and sort of stop and jump
Speaker 1: in at some points. But this is the elite. WTTW
Speaker 1: local news station got this audio a phone call with
Speaker 1: Lorie Lightfoot and all I remember she's most famous from
Speaker 1: the lockdown, perhaps for saying that, you know, she needed
Speaker 1: to get a haircut because she's public facing for the
Speaker 1: city of Chicago, but other people can't get haircuts. Classic
Speaker 1: classic liberal moment there, right, of course, a left hypocrisy.
Speaker 1: But just listen to some of this and there may
Speaker 1: be some language on here so that you will hear
Speaker 1: some bleeps. But listen, now this goes. We can't expect
Speaker 1: our police, and I don't fault them at all, to
Speaker 1: be able to control this. But I know that we
Speaker 1: asked our faith based yesterday to stand at the front
Speaker 1: line between police and looters and rioters, and I am
Speaker 1: simply not comfortable telling my churches those people to be
Speaker 1: the intermediary in the middle of a riot the citywide.
Speaker 1: We need something better because right now we only have
Speaker 1: three hundred and seventy whatever National Guards on standby half
Speaker 1: our neighborhood. They're already obliterated. It's too late. We have
Speaker 1: to come up with a better plan because my fear
Speaker 1: is once what they're done looting and rioting and whatever's
Speaker 1: going to happen tonight, God help us, what happens when
Speaker 1: if they're going after going into the neighborhood. Once they
Speaker 1: started trying to break down people's doors, so they think
Speaker 1: they got something there are you know, we know that
Speaker 1: people are here to antagonize them in sight. And you've
Speaker 1: got a wall pump today. Today, they're not going to
Speaker 1: go to bed at eight o'clock. They're gonna turn their
Speaker 1: focus in the neighborhoods. I got gangbangers with AK forty
Speaker 1: seven's walking around right now. I've got gang bangers with
Speaker 1: AK forty seven's walking around right now in the Democrats
Speaker 1: stronghold of Chicago that has banned guns effectively. But the
Speaker 1: gangbangers can get aks. Now, is it really an ak?
Speaker 1: Does he know the difference? Probably not, But you know,
Speaker 1: long guns of some kind, and they're not carrying around
Speaker 1: you know, double barrel, twenty gages to go clay pigeon shooting.
Speaker 1: I can assure you of that. But this guy is
Speaker 1: freaked out. He is scared about what's happening. This is
Speaker 1: an older man. This is like the city council member.
Speaker 1: Oh I checked. Also, do you know how many Republicans
Speaker 1: there are on the fifty seats Chicago City Council? Zero,
Speaker 1: not one, not one Republican in the in the Chicago
Speaker 1: City Council there are six Democratic Socialists of America seats
Speaker 1: that were won in twenty I think it was in
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. This is the Aldermanic elections they call it.
Speaker 1: So you have socialists and Democrats entirely in charge. There
Speaker 1: was one loan Republican, but he has switched to being
Speaker 1: an independent. Now this is unified and total Democrat control.
Speaker 1: And it is in the aftermath of these riots. It
Speaker 1: felt like a Mad Max styled dystopia, just like so
Speaker 1: many other Democrats strongholds do. And this man says, this
Speaker 1: is what's going on here. Here's the mayor is going
Speaker 1: to respond at some point, let's hear it, waiting to
Speaker 1: set some scores. What are we going to do and
Speaker 1: what do we tell our residents other than good faith
Speaker 1: people stand up? It's that going to be enough. Thank
Speaker 1: the question, No, I want an answer. I beg you.
Speaker 1: It was real quick. Just see called it. The mayor
Speaker 1: jumped in there and say thanks. Next, that's what the
Speaker 1: mayor did. Okay. The mayor of Chicago is being told
Speaker 1: by somebody who represents a district. You know all I
Speaker 1: keep saying Alderman, but it's two can I don't know
Speaker 1: why Chicago. It's some historic thing where they have the
Speaker 1: Alderman system. But anyway, why why they represent as a
Speaker 1: city district of Chicago. This guy represents city district and
Speaker 1: he's saying he's a Democrat, might even be a socialist.
Speaker 1: And he's saying, hey, look, this is crazy. What's going
Speaker 1: on my area. What are we gonna do? We can't
Speaker 1: at cops can't control this. And the mayor goes next question,
Speaker 1: that's it, pybody, I want an answer. It's not something
Speaker 1: you ignore. This is a question that I have. I
Speaker 1: think we want you everywhere already, and we used to
Speaker 1: lie and let the neigh There's nothing intelligent that I
Speaker 1: am saying. Maybe you should come up and going up
Speaker 1: stupid thing I have ever. I understand you want to play.
Speaker 1: I understand that you need to check your bags, you
Speaker 1: need right now. No, I'm just wondering, did you get
Speaker 1: any sense in the media that there was this kind
Speaker 1: of descent among Democrats where you've got a member of
Speaker 1: the city council and the third largest city in this
Speaker 1: country dropping f bombs at the you know, I mean,
Speaker 1: really getting really getting into with the mayor. I mean,
Speaker 1: I kind of wish some people in the city council
Speaker 1: here would do that to de Blasio. But because people
Speaker 1: are outraged, because their neighborhoods are destroyed and there's no
Speaker 1: help coming from city Hall. There's no Lorie Lightfoot wasn't
Speaker 1: getting it done. Meanwhile, the Chicago City Council's Black Caucus,
Speaker 1: according to WTTW, was criticizing Lightfoot for using three and
Speaker 1: seventy five members of the Illinois National Guard to block
Speaker 1: off the Central Business District. So they then said that
Speaker 1: the South and West sides, which have large African American
Speaker 1: populations and generally have a lot more crime, were a
Speaker 1: quote easy target for looters in criminals. So essentially they
Speaker 1: were calling out Lorie Lightfoot, who's an African American female.
Speaker 1: They're calling her out and saying, you use the National
Speaker 1: Guard to protect like the Fancy Business District and our
Speaker 1: black majority neighborhoods in many cases, we're just destroyed. And
Speaker 1: she says, of course that that's not true and that's
Speaker 1: really bad. I mean, this whole conversation, she said, we've
Speaker 1: been working our ass off. I think I can say
Speaker 1: that on radio all over the city. And she's basically saying,
Speaker 1: what do you want me to do about this? I mean,
Speaker 1: it goes on. The conference call goes on for quite
Speaker 1: a while. Lightfoot here said. A crowd of thirty to
Speaker 1: forty people gather outside a clothing store and on Michigan
Speaker 1: Avenue as a quote dude with a sledgehammer end quote
Speaker 1: broke into the store to allow it to be looted.
Speaker 1: I don't know about you, Lightfoot said, but I haven't
Speaker 1: seen blank like this before, not in Chicago. It's absolutely
Speaker 1: incredible that no one talked about this. Sadlowski Garza said,
Speaker 1: My ward is a blank show. They're shooting at the police.
Speaker 1: I've never seen the likes of this. I'm scared. These
Speaker 1: are the politicians elected to protect the city of Chicago.
Speaker 1: They're basically having a mental breakdown together while the mayor
Speaker 1: is like cursing and freaking out at people. This is
Speaker 1: a massive, massive problem, Mayor Lightfoot said. People are just
Speaker 1: blanking lawless right now. Sadlowski ursa wept as she told
Speaker 1: Lightfoot new businesses had been destroyed while other shops were
Speaker 1: being protected by owners with guns. Oh wow, you mean
Speaker 1: people with Second Amendment rights can actually defend themselves effectively
Speaker 1: against riots and looting. I wonder why that didn't make
Speaker 1: the top of the CNN News ticker. Lightfoot told Lopez
Speaker 1: he was one full of blank, well blank you, Lopez responded,
Speaker 1: may Or you need to check your blanking attitude. I mean,
Speaker 1: this is it's amazing. They're worried. They talk here about
Speaker 1: being worried about about people becoming vigilantes. They're also saying, oh,
Speaker 1: this is another part of this that they don't really
Speaker 1: they don't really make any effort to tell us about
Speaker 1: in the in the news media overall, and that is
Speaker 1: that there are huge concerns about what happened to these neighborhoods.
Speaker 1: Here's one. I remember, they're all Democrats, not a single
Speaker 1: Republican on this whole city council. So this is all
Speaker 1: Democrats talking to each other. One said quote, I feel
Speaker 1: like I'm at ground zero. My major business district is shattered.
Speaker 1: Why would Walmart and Walmart or CBS come back to
Speaker 1: our communities. It's like the wild wild West out there.
Speaker 1: Who yeah, no, no, no, no shock there, folks. Why
Speaker 1: would Walmart or CBS come back in after their stores
Speaker 1: have been looted and burned out? Why would they? They're
Speaker 1: making business decisions, but you know, you know who relies
Speaker 1: on those stores, people, particularly elderly people. You know, they're
Speaker 1: elderly black Americans and some of these and all Americans,
Speaker 1: but all we're focused on what this means for the
Speaker 1: minority community, at least in the media narrative. Right, That's
Speaker 1: what this is. Black Lives Matter, That's what this is
Speaker 1: all about. You have elderly Black Americans who have no
Speaker 1: way of getting food because their stores are gone, can't
Speaker 1: get medication, and this is what the city council members
Speaker 1: are saying. And the businesses aren't coming back. Why should
Speaker 1: they come back? But you didn't hear about You didn't
Speaker 1: hear about any of this, did you? No? No, it
Speaker 1: was all, oh, what did Trump tweet this morning? Can
Speaker 1: we make that into a big news story? Not the
Speaker 1: complete disarray and ineptitude and the absurd incompetence of the
Speaker 1: entirely Democrat controlled city of Chicago and the infighting that
Speaker 1: did not lead to anyone speaking out to the press,
Speaker 1: of course, because gott got to protect the Left, got
Speaker 1: to protect the party. The infighting over the clear inability
Speaker 1: to protect their neighborhoods and to do what they were
Speaker 1: supposed to do for their constituents. Protecting people's lives and
Speaker 1: property is step one of governance. Right, didn't happen here?
Speaker 1: It's a scandal, and it's one that you almost didn't
Speaker 1: hear about. You're in the Freedom Hud. This is the
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show podcast. Anytime you hear a slogan being
Speaker 1: articulated by activists who are seeking an end that could
Speaker 1: probably inspire a lot of common folks, you can be
Speaker 1: sure that Donald Trump is a going to try to
Speaker 1: weaponize that stroke slogan. He tried to weaponize Black Lives Matter,
Speaker 1: he tried to weaponize a Green New Deal, and he's
Speaker 1: trying to weaponize these But again, listen to the activists,
Speaker 1: the spirit of what they're calling to a society that
Speaker 1: invests in human well being, therefore not necessitating as much
Speaker 1: of an investment in police departments. Don't listen to their words,
Speaker 1: Listen to their spirit. Yes this is former Democrat presidential
Speaker 1: candidate Corey Booker. Don't listen to the things they say
Speaker 1: all their energy, because otherwise you're weaponizing. Weaponizing words in
Speaker 1: this case means listening to what the activists say and
Speaker 1: believing that that's what they are saying. This is amazing.
Speaker 1: It's like this this old joke about Republicans pounce. You know,
Speaker 1: anytime Democrats do anything, anything that's terrible. You know, oh,
Speaker 1: major major scandal with the Democrat member of the you know,
Speaker 1: House representatives. Republicans pounce is the headline. It's always Republicans pounce.
Speaker 1: This is that's like this weaponizing no defund police is stupid.
Speaker 1: And other Democratic parties like, how do we how do
Speaker 1: we maneuver with this one? Now, you let the activists
Speaker 1: run your party. You let the crazy people make the decisions.
Speaker 1: Guess what you gotta defend crazy. Thanks for listening to
Speaker 1: the bus seton Show podcast. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts,
Speaker 1: the iHeart Radio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't support defunding the police. And I
Speaker 1: had a big meeting with you know, eighty plus leaders
Speaker 1: from around my district this past weekend, and you know
Speaker 1: a lot of the African American leaders were saying, listen,
Speaker 1: it's not about a straight defunding the police. It's about
Speaker 1: having a conversation about how resources are spent, how people
Speaker 1: are held or not held accountable, how we have oversight
Speaker 1: over that process. That's what I think people are asking for.
Speaker 1: That's what I think this bill actually speaks to. It
Speaker 1: doesn't defund the police. It doesn't yank money away from anybody,
Speaker 1: but it does say, like we have to grapple with
Speaker 1: what is more than just isolated incidents. And I think
Speaker 1: you know, I'm a CIA analyst. If you've got three
Speaker 1: data points, that makes a trend. And we've got way
Speaker 1: way beyond three data points on this conversation. So let's
Speaker 1: have it. Let's have some uncomfortable moments. It's not defunding,
Speaker 1: but it is questioning how resources are spent. Well, i'm
Speaker 1: a CI analyst too. Let's say that's a whole bunch
Speaker 1: of bull crap. What a joke? Oh yeah, three three
Speaker 1: data points makes a trend? That depends is it three
Speaker 1: in ten million data points? Because what we're talking about
Speaker 1: right now is aberrant behavior involving lethal force from law
Speaker 1: enforcement in the tens of millions of arrest that happened
Speaker 1: every single year. But I love, oh my gosh, the sophistry.
Speaker 1: It's amazing, isn't it. You almost want to respect it.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's disreputable and disgraceful, but you almost want
Speaker 1: to respect it because it's so brazen. Defund the police
Speaker 1: doesn't mean defund the police like abolish ice, immigrations and
Speaker 1: customs enforcement doesn't mean abolish ice. Believe all women doesn't
Speaker 1: mean believe all women. Stop Libs. I got news for you. Dems.
Speaker 1: Listen up. Stop saying things that you do not mean
Speaker 1: because you get caught up in emotions and want to
Speaker 1: mobilize your base, and then normal people that you do
Speaker 1: need to vote for you, who are not brainwashed, say,
Speaker 1: hold on a second, that's crazy. That that's really the
Speaker 1: problem is not Republicans parents I love that Corey book,
Speaker 1: or think Donald Trump is gonna weaponize this. He's gonna
Speaker 1: weaponize this. What does that even mean. He's just talking
Speaker 1: about what you're saying you want to do. But this
Speaker 1: is the Democrat Party that it's all we have the answer.
Speaker 1: We are the good people, we are the righteous ones.
Speaker 1: This is what you do. That's what we should do.
Speaker 1: Defund the police, that's insane. You can't. That's gonna destroy society,
Speaker 1: literally destroy society. It'll be gone. What we think of
Speaker 1: as a miracle will no longer exist if we do. Oh,
Speaker 1: we're not saying to fund police, We're just saying, rethink
Speaker 1: about the priorities of the funding that goes into policing.
Speaker 1: I had an idea, how about call it budget cuts. Now,
Speaker 1: you might say, hold on a seconduck wouldn't have the
Speaker 1: same effect. Oh no, no no, no, no, hold on a second.
Speaker 1: Why why won't they call it budget cuts? Because if
Speaker 1: you're willing to cut the police budget and say that
Speaker 1: that's bloated, if you're willing to look at the public
Speaker 1: sector union that represents cops and say that that's too
Speaker 1: powerful and unaccountable, what does that mean for municipal employees?
Speaker 1: What does that mean for teachers unions? What does that
Speaker 1: mean for all these other rock solid, necessary Democrat constituencies
Speaker 1: and important centers of power and voter turnout for the
Speaker 1: Democrat Party. Is the argument they're going to make, especially
Speaker 1: given the possibility of austerity that a lot of these
Speaker 1: cities face because the tax revenue is way down because
Speaker 1: of the unnecessary and psychotically ill thought out shut down. Right,
Speaker 1: But because of that, there's going to be all these
Speaker 1: big budget shortfalls. So how do you make up for it? Oh,
Speaker 1: the only municipal service, the only place where there can
Speaker 1: be budget cut is the cops. No, they have to
Speaker 1: do with budget cutting, That's what That's what Republicans want,
Speaker 1: isn't it. Maybe they want to cut everything other than
Speaker 1: the cops, but they do want to cut back on services.
Speaker 1: You know why is why is New York state? So
Speaker 1: and true, it's true of Illinois as well. We was
Speaker 1: just talking about Chicago in the last hour. It wasn't
Speaker 1: that amazing stuff. By the way, talking about Chicago last hour?
Speaker 1: Why is New York? Why Chicago? Well, Illinois the state
Speaker 1: of the state that Chicago is in in such terrible
Speaker 1: shape from a budgetary perspective, running, you know, billions and
Speaker 1: billions of dollars into debt with each passing year. Oh,
Speaker 1: it's because of two things, medicaid and public sector unions
Speaker 1: and pension benefits. That's what That's what drives the debt,
Speaker 1: those two things. So, okay, where are we going to
Speaker 1: cut ah, budget cuts? Huh. They're not gonna like that
Speaker 1: very much, are they. That's why it's deep fund the police.
Speaker 1: And it also gets the activists all fired up. So, yeah,
Speaker 1: we're gonna get rid of the cops. And we all
Speaker 1: know that's we all know that's crazy, right, Well, not
Speaker 1: everyone knows that's crazy. There are some people out there
Speaker 1: who really think it's a good idea. Minneapolis's city council
Speaker 1: has voted to defund police here is what you have
Speaker 1: the the Minneapolis Police department. This was posed to a
Speaker 1: city city council leaders. What happens if you if you
Speaker 1: really dismantle, if you go forward with this and get
Speaker 1: rid of the Minneapolis police department that Ilhan Omar just
Speaker 1: yesterday was saying is rotten to the core. That's a quote,
Speaker 1: rotten to the core, all right, So I guess you
Speaker 1: gotta get rid of this right if it's a cancer.
Speaker 1: As as other Democrats are calling police forces too. I mean,
Speaker 1: the things are saying are so horrifying, and I just
Speaker 1: as a quick aside here. I know there's a lot
Speaker 1: of law enforcement folks out there, including family members of
Speaker 1: law enforcement, a lot of law enforce I just I'm
Speaker 1: gonna keep saying it. Thank you. I know you're not
Speaker 1: hearing this from a lot of places. There are some
Speaker 1: other cone it was out there who will say this
Speaker 1: as well, but you need to hear it. Thank you
Speaker 1: for doing what you do. You know, I was on
Speaker 1: the street last night walking my you know, second trimester
Speaker 1: pregnant sister home to make sure that she was safe,
Speaker 1: and I gotta tell you, it was sketchy on the
Speaker 1: streets of New York city right now, and there are
Speaker 1: a lot of I mean, there was a guy who
Speaker 1: was basically rolling around on the ground, almost entirely naked,
Speaker 1: on a street in midtown Manhattan. I mean, I don't
Speaker 1: even want to tell you what I think he was
Speaker 1: doing as I walked past. I mean, that's what's going
Speaker 1: on here in the city. And it's because of what
Speaker 1: has been done to our cops in this city. It's
Speaker 1: because of Deblasio and the Democrats and they're pandering and
Speaker 1: their stupidity and their childishness. That I'm walking home and
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, you know, I my safety and security and
Speaker 1: the safety and security of my little sister that's in
Speaker 1: my hands, and it angers me that I'm not allowed
Speaker 1: to escially I'm walking the streets at night, or you know,
Speaker 1: they've got all these curfews and things happening. You've got
Speaker 1: roving mobs going through the streets, looting and riding and
Speaker 1: attacking people. Why aren't I allowed to open carry a firearm? No? No,
Speaker 1: if the NYPD saw me, somebody who was trained at
Speaker 1: the CIA, trained at the farm, which you probably know
Speaker 1: what that is, to use weapons in defense of myself
Speaker 1: and the furtherance of my mission for this country. If
Speaker 1: I try to open carry a firearm, I would get
Speaker 1: sent to prison for years. Do not PASCO, do not
Speaker 1: collect one hundred dollars, go into prison. I'm spending at
Speaker 1: least two, maybe three, maybe four years in Riker's Island
Speaker 1: prison because I'm a bad guy. You see. But anybody
Speaker 1: that ever talks to the cops, I'll tell you on
Speaker 1: the West Indian Day Parade here in New York that
Speaker 1: happens every year, one of the big problems they have
Speaker 1: is not just gunfire up in the air and people
Speaker 1: forget that what goes up must come down, but automatic
Speaker 1: weapons fire, particularly located in Brooklyn, New York. Automatic weapons.
Speaker 1: So the bad guys, the criminals, the people that are
Speaker 1: going to carry, you know, a machine gun around on
Speaker 1: a rooftop and fire it off in the air, not
Speaker 1: worrying about where those bullets are gonna land. I might add,
Speaker 1: they can get guns, and you know, hey, you know,
Speaker 1: what can you say? But I can't defend myself? Not allowed?
Speaker 1: Not just not allowed, I mean I will go to
Speaker 1: prison if I had an illegal firearm in New York City,
Speaker 1: and they would think that's justice to BLASI would say, hey,
Speaker 1: you know, we're keeping people faith by making sure that
Speaker 1: this guy that served his country at two war zones
Speaker 1: and work for the NYPD trying to stop terrorists from
Speaker 1: blowing up our subways and buildings. You know, him carrying
Speaker 1: a weapon to defend himself. Is that's that makes everybody
Speaker 1: less safe? Only a moron could believe this. But in
Speaker 1: New York, in Chicago, and in so many other cities
Speaker 1: across the country, the morons are in charge. They really are,
Speaker 1: and they have been for a long time. And Democrats
Speaker 1: aren't figuring this stuff out. It's just so much more
Speaker 1: important to them to vote for people that are's like, oh,
Speaker 1: we care so much about the poor. Do they make
Speaker 1: poverty better? If democrats were curing poverty, if democrats were
Speaker 1: helping people do better in life, better health outcomes, better
Speaker 1: educational outcomes, more intact families. Oh, don't talk about families.
Speaker 1: Oh not allowed, not allowed to talk about intact families
Speaker 1: as a means of dealing with poverty, even though every
Speaker 1: social scientist who has to look at data and has
Speaker 1: real data to work with will say intact family is
Speaker 1: a huge indicator in favor of someone's future, meaning the
Speaker 1: kids that grow up in intact families are going to
Speaker 1: have better outcomes, you know, nine times out of ten
Speaker 1: compared to everything, all other things being equal with somebody
Speaker 1: that's in a broken family. So but they can't talk
Speaker 1: about that. No, No, we have to just pretend that
Speaker 1: Democrats because they say they care, and because they want
Speaker 1: to take from you the rich. Oh, you know, you
Speaker 1: and your husband or you and your wife combined household
Speaker 1: income of you know, one hundred thousand dollars in a
Speaker 1: in a major US city, who we're gonna have. We're
Speaker 1: gonna have to tax you. That seems like a lot
Speaker 1: of money. I mean in most US cities, most major
Speaker 1: US cities, that's for a two person household. That's not
Speaker 1: a lot of money. But you'll get taxed pretty heavily
Speaker 1: on it, that's for sure. And then we have the
Speaker 1: morons in charge and what they're saying in the Minneapolis
Speaker 1: City Council about this when they're asked the question what
Speaker 1: happens when you get rid of the police force. In
Speaker 1: just a second, I will play for you their answer,
Speaker 1: which you really need to hear. You're in the freedom hunt.
Speaker 1: This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. If you didn't
Speaker 1: be somewhere to respond with a guard. This isn't a
Speaker 1: question that you keep hearing. Who would be responsible if
Speaker 1: you didn't be somewhere to respond with a guard, if
Speaker 1: there was an individual or group of people simply going
Speaker 1: out there and killing other citizens for no reason at all,
Speaker 1: who wouldn't be responsible to go out there and try
Speaker 1: to sell well mind well stands right now today, he's
Speaker 1: still has a minis Police department, and that will be
Speaker 1: their responsibility to address foes up. So at LASA, you agree, absolutely, yes,
Speaker 1: they're defunding the Minneapolis Police Department. It's rotten to the court,
Speaker 1: ilhan Omar says, But they also are gonna make sure
Speaker 1: that it's there in case there's a need for it.
Speaker 1: Which one is it someone's down the street with a
Speaker 1: gun shooting people. Mass shootings happen, as we know, much
Speaker 1: more often than that, criminal shootings, you know, meaning drug
Speaker 1: criminal related shootings happen. That's the most that's the most
Speaker 1: likely cause of gun violence in the country. And if
Speaker 1: you have to call the cops, what do you do? Oh, well,
Speaker 1: we'll call the cops. Well, hold on a second, I
Speaker 1: thought the calling the cops could make things work. So
Speaker 1: you have that other city council member from Minnesota from
Speaker 1: Minneapolis saying, if you call the cops, it could actually
Speaker 1: make things more dangerous. So which is it, Do you
Speaker 1: need the cops or the cops bad? Gotta get rid
Speaker 1: of them? Oh, the Democrats can't really come up with
Speaker 1: an answer, can they Not really sure? But then when
Speaker 1: you push them and you say, well, what are you
Speaker 1: really trying to achieve? Because defund cops is a clear
Speaker 1: goal that we can talk about. It's dumb, it's crazy,
Speaker 1: but it's a clear goal that we can discuss. It
Speaker 1: shows you the Democratic Party is completely out of its
Speaker 1: mind and does not live in reality, and it's just
Speaker 1: really a collection of a lot of emotions from people
Speaker 1: that are not particularly stable, don't know history, and don't
Speaker 1: really live in the real world. But okay, that's the
Speaker 1: Democratic Party. But when you when you push on the
Speaker 1: one thing that they've brought up that is a a
Speaker 1: clear goal and they they're talking about, oh, end and
Speaker 1: qualified immunity. Okay, is that going to stop a guy
Speaker 1: from you know, putting too much force on the neck
Speaker 1: of an individual and strangling him as a cop? No,
Speaker 1: and ending qualified immunity also means the lawsuits that cops.
Speaker 1: Who's gonna want to be a cop? It sounds great
Speaker 1: to say this all qualified immunity. Okay, so cops can
Speaker 1: all be sued personally for what they do on the
Speaker 1: job by anybody. You really think they didn't really think that.
Speaker 1: No one even thinks these things through. They just say
Speaker 1: them up, up, up. We get the libertarians showing up.
Speaker 1: Libertarians who are, you know, just hoping they still get
Speaker 1: invited to the hipster parties in Brooklyn. Those are the
Speaker 1: libertarians that I know. They look I'm not really, I'm
Speaker 1: not I'm that right wing man. I'm a libertarian. Thanks.
Speaker 1: Pott's already basically legal. Guys, you'll won that one. I
Speaker 1: don't really know what else you're adding the conversation. For
Speaker 1: the most part, I'm just gonna say it. But these
Speaker 1: things that they bring up as oh, this would make
Speaker 1: everything so much better. You look at this and you say, um, no,
Speaker 1: I don't know that that would make thinks so much better. Actually,
Speaker 1: and getting rid of mandatory minimums, Oh that sounds good.
Speaker 1: Get rid of mandatory minimums. Do you know why they
Speaker 1: have mandatory minimums? Because left wing judges we're saying, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, so what you know you were found with
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of drugs and a loaded firearm, and
Speaker 1: you're part of a drug gang that has executed other people,
Speaker 1: other rivals. But you know you had a really rough childhood,
Speaker 1: so no jail time for you. That's why we have
Speaker 1: mandatory minimums. Because judges were abusing their discretion. And this
Speaker 1: goes back to when crime was really bad in America.
Speaker 1: They're abusing their discretion the seventies, the eighties, into the nineties,
Speaker 1: because we were told because the academy and the intelligency
Speaker 1: in the media was, oh, crime is a social construct,
Speaker 1: and it's because of all of us. No. Now, we
Speaker 1: all have bad days, we all get angry, we all
Speaker 1: wish things were easier, we all wish we had more,
Speaker 1: but we don't. We don't commit crimes. Right. First step
Speaker 1: of not having a bad incident with law enforcement, this
Speaker 1: is this is a fact, is don't violate the law. Now,
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean that just by not violating the law,
Speaker 1: you won't be in a situation where you have to
Speaker 1: interact with law enforcement and that they won't be overly aggressive, threatening,
Speaker 1: step out of line. I know that happens too, But
Speaker 1: if we're really trying to prevent these things from happening.
Speaker 1: We have to discuss this from all angles and take
Speaker 1: common sense. Common sense is in short supply these days.
Speaker 1: But so you challenge the left on defund police. Now,
Speaker 1: now we're weaponizing it because we take them at their word,
Speaker 1: we believe what they say. Now we're weaponizing defund police. Okay,
Speaker 1: isn't that interesting? And then you have beyond that, the
Speaker 1: return to the vague demand like this, for example, Representative
Speaker 1: Stacy Plasket play clip three. I think when you know
Speaker 1: members of Congress and have conversations with them, you can
Speaker 1: begin to have those conversations that would cause them to
Speaker 1: be in to move towards supporting legislation that they know,
Speaker 1: many of them know is necessary. Unfortunately, Eugene, one of
Speaker 1: the things that we have to your member is that
Speaker 1: we as members of Congress are not physically there during
Speaker 1: this pandemic, and so the kinds of discussion, the kinds
Speaker 1: of negotiation that would take place between members and members
Speaker 1: is going to be more difficult. And for that where
Speaker 1: once again also calling on the American people in your
Speaker 1: protests remembering to go. This is a call of action
Speaker 1: to all people to go and talk to your members
Speaker 1: of Congress to demand that they co sponsor this bill,
Speaker 1: to demand that they vote yes on it, and as
Speaker 1: well going to the senators in your states to press
Speaker 1: them to be a part of this movement to dismantle
Speaker 1: racism in this country. Dismantle racism? How do we achieve that? Exactly?
Speaker 1: How would we get there? Oh, it's by passing a
Speaker 1: Democrat bill. Notice how this very quickly? It's been what
Speaker 1: about a week in change, and it's gone from police
Speaker 1: violence is this horrible thing. And if you don't agree
Speaker 1: with us, you're a terrible person, and you all have
Speaker 1: to a thousand times a day say what happened to
Speaker 1: George Floyd was terrible? And even though we already agree
Speaker 1: that it was terrible, so why don't have to say
Speaker 1: it a thousand times a day? We went from that to, well,
Speaker 1: if you oppose racism, you have to agree with Nancy Pelosi,
Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer the Democrat Party and pass this huge bill
Speaker 1: and give them all these things that they want. Oh,
Speaker 1: you mean that this is really about political mobilization. I
Speaker 1: thought this was about ending police violence. Oh, by giving
Speaker 1: Democrats agenda items that they want, even though it is
Speaker 1: remember Democrats in control of the cities of the police forces.
Speaker 1: It is Democrat mayors, it is Democrat police commissioners, it
Speaker 1: is Democrat city councils. They're making all the calls that
Speaker 1: affect law enforcement in these places that we're told is
Speaker 1: so bad. But we need a federal bill now, more
Speaker 1: government control, more government action. That's going to pick from
Speaker 1: the people that messed it up in the first place.
Speaker 1: That's going to fix it. No, it's not. Thanks for
Speaker 1: listening to the Bus Sesson Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe
Speaker 1: on Apple podcast, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get
Speaker 1: your podcasts. Are here today with common sense solutions to
Speaker 1: hold at least at the federal level, the whole police accountable.
Speaker 1: But we know this is an issue that is not
Speaker 1: just at the federal level. It is at the state
Speaker 1: and local level as well. But we are here today
Speaker 1: to say, in our position as leaders in our federal government,
Speaker 1: that reform and change must happen, and it must happen now.
Speaker 1: And let's be clear, reforming policing isn't the best interest
Speaker 1: of all Americans. It is literally in the best interest
Speaker 1: of all Americans, because this is a basic matter of fairness,
Speaker 1: and as so many have said, justice. Okay, that sounds good,
Speaker 1: right kind of? I mean, at least it sounds good. Well,
Speaker 1: I'm about to dig into the details. He reforming policing
Speaker 1: good for all Americans. Yeah? Sure, How how what have
Speaker 1: we learned? What has changed between now and two weeks
Speaker 1: ago that there is an urgency now in the reforming
Speaker 1: of policing. I would just want to know the House
Speaker 1: Judiciary Committee has this out. The Justice and Policing Act
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty prohibits federal, state, and local law enforcement
Speaker 1: from racial, religious, and discriminary discriminatory profiling and mandates training
Speaker 1: on racial, religious, and discriminatory profiling for law enforcement. Oh okay,
Speaker 1: we're going to have more you know, diversity and inclusion
Speaker 1: and don't discriminate training. That's going to somehow prevent one
Speaker 1: in a million cops from strangling somebody when they should
Speaker 1: be using a different tackic That that's going to be
Speaker 1: the game changer if we have antidiscrimination training that already
Speaker 1: exists in law enforcement. It's amazing to watch this play out.
Speaker 1: It bands chokeholds karate or this is the Justice in
Speaker 1: Policing Act of twenty twenty. Bands chokeholds Karate holds, a
Speaker 1: no knock warrants at the federal level. Okay, well, let's
Speaker 1: let's go into this for a second. Shall we. Let's
Speaker 1: really dig into the details for a moment, because I'll
Speaker 1: tell you what's really going on here here. Pelosi said
Speaker 1: this too. Play play clip twelve. Please, we cannot settle
Speaker 1: for anything less than transformative structural change, which is why
Speaker 1: the Justice in Policing Act will remove barriers of prosecuting
Speaker 1: police misconduct and covering damages by addressing the quality immunity doctrine.
Speaker 1: It will end will demilitarize the police by limiting the
Speaker 1: transfer of military weapon rita state and local police departments.
Speaker 1: It will combat police put brutality by requiring body and
Speaker 1: dashboard cameras, banning chokeholds, no knock warrants, and drug cases
Speaker 1: and racial profiling. We'll start, We'll finally make lunching to
Speaker 1: a federal hate crime. Okay, let's let's go into this
Speaker 1: for a moment. Shall we the details here? Because you
Speaker 1: hear this, you say, oh wow, the Democrats, the Democrats
Speaker 1: in Congress have this plan right. The Black Lives Matter
Speaker 1: movement got everything going here, and now the Democrats they
Speaker 1: kind of you know, they take they take the ball here,
Speaker 1: they take the baton away, and they say, okay, well,
Speaker 1: now we're gonna be the ones, the Democrats in Congress,
Speaker 1: the elected officials, We're going to be the ones to
Speaker 1: make the call here. Okay, Well, let's let's look at
Speaker 1: this for a moment. Shall we prohibits local law enforcement
Speaker 1: from discrimination that's already illegal. So we're gonna let's pass
Speaker 1: another law to make another make something illegal that's already illegal. Okay,
Speaker 1: fine bands, chokeholds, herrottid holds, and no knock warrants. Okay,
Speaker 1: no knock warrants. This is one you'll get a lot
Speaker 1: of attention on. People have been focused on this because
Speaker 1: occasionally a no knock warrant, they go into the wrong house,
Speaker 1: there's a scuffle, and law enforcement officer discharges his weapon
Speaker 1: and kills the wrong person. That does rarely, but that
Speaker 1: does happen. But here's the problem with getting rid of
Speaker 1: no knock warrants. The probably the most dangerous group of
Speaker 1: people that law enforcement has to deal with on a
Speaker 1: regular basis are drug dealers that drug and you see
Speaker 1: this a lot where they talk about non violent drug
Speaker 1: crimes because they'll say Oh, well, this person pleaded guilty
Speaker 1: to possession with intent to distribute and they are non violent. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well were they part of a drug gang that was
Speaker 1: maintaining their territory, their turf by threats of violence, by
Speaker 1: shooting at rivals by you know, But the easiest provable
Speaker 1: charge was this federal statute for possession with intent to
Speaker 1: distribute you know, methamphetamine or And when you look at opioids,
Speaker 1: they're killing people. That's not that's not recreational drug use.
Speaker 1: Opioids are killing people to the tune of about sixty
Speaker 1: to seventy thousand deaths a year. Look at how much
Speaker 1: more focused there is from the media. There there were
Speaker 1: nine unarmed African Americans killed by cops last year. There
Speaker 1: were seventy thousand people of all colored creeds, races, and
Speaker 1: origins who died from opioid overdoses last year. Now, I
Speaker 1: understand these are not the same issue. I get all that,
Speaker 1: But if you just look at the media focus and
Speaker 1: coverage on these things, when was the last time you
Speaker 1: heard them talking about opioid overdoses. Drug gangs that are
Speaker 1: selling those they're selling heroine, they're selling opioids to people,
Speaker 1: are putting them at lethal risk. The fentanel that is
Speaker 1: often marked to look like prescription pills when it is not,
Speaker 1: and it's made in drug labs by cartels in Mexico
Speaker 1: and sold here by street gangs. That's killing people. You
Speaker 1: take one pill, you could one pill, you can die
Speaker 1: from it. So to call this non violent is to
Speaker 1: effectively wipe away the risk to the lives of the
Speaker 1: people taking this unregulated and often possibly lethal drug. But
Speaker 1: no knock, well, let's go back to no knock warrants.
Speaker 1: You have. Now the most dangerous people that law enforcement
Speaker 1: usually has to interact with are going to be drug
Speaker 1: dealers because they are armed, they are facing long prison sentences,
Speaker 1: and they are engaged in consistent criminality. So now when
Speaker 1: you're going to go to a drug stash house, now
Speaker 1: you get to be the cop who's there. You know, knock, knock, knock,
Speaker 1: open up. We're coming in person who might have several
Speaker 1: fully automatic weapons on hand to protect their large drug stash.
Speaker 1: Do you want to be that cop? Okay, hold on,
Speaker 1: we're gonna keep knocking, can you please? I It sounds
Speaker 1: like you might be loading a magazine into a weapon.
Speaker 1: But but that's illegal. Knock, knock knock. Hey, you better
Speaker 1: not be doing that knock knock knock. Do you want
Speaker 1: to be that? You want your loved one of yours
Speaker 1: to be that cop who's going through that door? Now? Now,
Speaker 1: should there be an adjustment to the threshold for what
Speaker 1: gets a no knock warrant? Should they be? Should they
Speaker 1: have greater scrutiny? But to just federally say no such
Speaker 1: thing as a no knock warrant? Oh okay, let's let's
Speaker 1: give you know, a cartel hitman a little extra time
Speaker 1: to reach for their weapons, or to run out the
Speaker 1: back door, or to get rid of their stash. Right.
Speaker 1: So it's so easy to say, oh, just get rid
Speaker 1: of this. But the people that are coming up with this,
Speaker 1: they're not They're not law enforcement experts. They just don't
Speaker 1: like law enforcement. What else do we have here? Mandates
Speaker 1: the use of dashboard cameras and body cameras for federal
Speaker 1: offices and requires state and local law enforcement, So body
Speaker 1: cameras for everybody. A problem with this except the bodycam
Speaker 1: situation is a question of funding. But look, I'm not
Speaker 1: just gonna say everything I see. I'm not a Democrat.
Speaker 1: I don't see everything they want to do. Okay, I
Speaker 1: actually think bodycams are good for cops. Body cameras show
Speaker 1: that when you know, when someone claims. There have been
Speaker 1: incidents where someone has claimed I think there was a
Speaker 1: woman it was in Texas, claimed that she was raped.
Speaker 1: She was sexually assaulted by a cop. Thank god he
Speaker 1: had a bodycam on and they had surveillance cams the
Speaker 1: whole time there. It was it was actually impossible for
Speaker 1: her to have been in any way sexually assault that
Speaker 1: she lied about a cop try to ruin his life.
Speaker 1: A body camp saved them. So there, I'm not opposed
Speaker 1: to bodycams, you know, fine, Okay, Um, it's a it's
Speaker 1: a funding issue for local law enforcement, so maybe we
Speaker 1: have to increase the funding on that one. What else
Speaker 1: do we have here? Requires state and local law enforcement
Speaker 1: agencies to report use of force data disaggregated by race, sex, disability, religion, age.
Speaker 1: So does that mean they're not allowed to to have
Speaker 1: use of force data based on sex, race, disability, religion agent.
Speaker 1: I'd be curious to dig into the details of that
Speaker 1: a little bit, but that's not How is that going
Speaker 1: to stop if you don't know anything about the people
Speaker 1: that they're using force against Why are you less likely
Speaker 1: to use force or how is that going to solve
Speaker 1: the problem? Not clear to me at all. Establishes a
Speaker 1: Department of Justice Task Force to coordinate the investigation, prosecution,
Speaker 1: and enforcement of federal, state, and local government in cases
Speaker 1: related to law enforcement misconduct. I mean establishing a DOJ
Speaker 1: task force. The DJ already does this, Civil Rights Division
Speaker 1: can do this other parts. So this is this is
Speaker 1: bureaucratically shuffling. It doesn't really doesn't really do anything a
Speaker 1: nothing fatally important. But again, they need more bullet points.
Speaker 1: They need action so they're not just screaming. You know,
Speaker 1: whose streets are streets. Establishes Public Safety Innovation Grants for
Speaker 1: community based organizations to create local commissions and task forces
Speaker 1: to help communities reimagine, develop concrete, just and equitable public
Speaker 1: safety approaches. You know, this is funding community organizers in
Speaker 1: advance of national elections. That's what this is. They all
Speaker 1: know it. Well, they're going to come up with some
Speaker 1: great way to keep community safe. There's something, there's some
Speaker 1: idea they have out there that no one thought of yet.
Speaker 1: But if you just give money, give some federal block
Speaker 1: grants to community organizers, that's that's going to make things better.
Speaker 1: That's a joke. But again, this is just doling money
Speaker 1: out now to favored constituencies of the Democrats. That's what
Speaker 1: they're going to do. Amend's federal criminal Statute from a
Speaker 1: willfulness to a recklessness standard to identify and prosecute police misconduct. Okay,
Speaker 1: you know, I think recklessness. I think that's fair. I
Speaker 1: think recklessness could be could be the standard for police misconduct.
Speaker 1: But we better be very clear and what we establish
Speaker 1: as recklessness. And remember, the Democrats are never going to
Speaker 1: give the tide to law enforcement here, so you know
Speaker 1: the devil also, the devil is very much in the
Speaker 1: details with a lot of this stuff. But I look
Speaker 1: at all this and I tell you this is not
Speaker 1: going to eliminate the less than a dozen people a
Speaker 1: year who are African American who are killed by law enforces.
Speaker 1: This is not going to change a thing. So you
Speaker 1: can look at this and say, oh, well this is why. Okay,
Speaker 1: these are these are minor shifts. This doesn't address the
Speaker 1: over seventy five hundred Black Americans who were killed last year.
Speaker 1: This doesn't make law enforcement more effective, This doesn't This
Speaker 1: does not really address a problem in a way that
Speaker 1: we should all be sitting around patting ourselves in the
Speaker 1: back if anything this is just this is this is
Speaker 1: really just minor window dressing or counterproductive. And that's what
Speaker 1: we're having all this, you know, all the riots, and
Speaker 1: you know, if we did this, you think Democrats would say, yeah,
Speaker 1: I meaning if the Trump administration the Republicans went along
Speaker 1: with it, you think Democrats would say, yeah, we have
Speaker 1: a pardner in this now. No, then there'd be another
Speaker 1: series it demands, and then another series it demands. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: cities aren't getting safer, people aren't feeling like law enforcement
Speaker 1: is better position to protect them and protect their property
Speaker 1: and protect their rights. So what are we really? What
Speaker 1: is this really? It's you know, it's essentially the Democrat version,
Speaker 1: the Democrat congressional version of a lot of noise and
Speaker 1: virtue signaling. But that's what they're offering up now. So
Speaker 1: see I actually read the details of it. That's where
Speaker 1: we are not going to make people say for not
Speaker 1: going to save communities just all for show. You're in
Speaker 1: the Freedom Hunt. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast.
Speaker 1: This is a great story of the hypocrisy that we
Speaker 1: see from Democrats all the time. I really like you're
Speaker 1: gonna like this one you had in the LA in
Speaker 1: the LA area recently, you know, the LA City Council
Speaker 1: President Nuri Martinez filed a motion last week, as according
Speaker 1: to the Spectrum News affiliate in Los Angeles, follow motion
Speaker 1: last week to cut one hundred and fifty million dollars
Speaker 1: from the LAPD budget. While she was filing that motion
Speaker 1: to cut a lot of the LAPD's budget, you know
Speaker 1: who was outside her home in Los Angeles two police
Speaker 1: officers who are being paid as part of a security
Speaker 1: detail to guard her home. So a member of the
Speaker 1: city council now needs round the clock security detail. While
Speaker 1: she is telling the residence of Los Angeles, oh, guess what,
Speaker 1: you have a whole lot less police presence coming your way.
Speaker 1: People have called this out and yeah, indeed, the director
Speaker 1: of Los Angeles Police Protective League, which is the LAPD union,
Speaker 1: said it's kind of ironic he or she is demanding
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty million be reallocated from the police budget,
Speaker 1: but she has security at her house provided by the
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Police Department. I mean, my friends, what else
Speaker 1: do you really have to know here? Oh? You know,
Speaker 1: what the tab has been. She's had security at her
Speaker 1: home since April around the clock. It has called the
Speaker 1: taxpayer one hundred thousand dollars in a few months. That's
Speaker 1: what it's cost in overtime. And to assign these officers
Speaker 1: one hundred grand of special security protection for this member
Speaker 1: of the city council. She's a She's a member of
Speaker 1: a city council in a district entirely just controlled by
Speaker 1: and run by Democrats. She's a Democrat. What she had
Speaker 1: some like mean right wing Twitter trolls come after her.
Speaker 1: That's that's what the justification is for this man. Apparently
Speaker 1: the MYPD should give me twenty four to seven protection too,
Speaker 1: because I got crazy libs and all kinds of psycho
Speaker 1: stuff to me constantly. But this is what it is.
Speaker 1: This is the expectation that we should all have. They
Speaker 1: will try to defund you, I'm sorry, defund the police
Speaker 1: and leave leave you to your own your own devices,
Speaker 1: your own security precautions, while not allowing you to take
Speaker 1: the real precaution of arming yourself, which is the first
Speaker 1: thing I would do if I lived in a place
Speaker 1: that wasn't a Second Amendment free zone. And they themselves
Speaker 1: will make sure. And this is true of all the
Speaker 1: big multi millionaire news anchors, you see, they themselves will
Speaker 1: make that clear. They themselves will make sure that they
Speaker 1: have security. They will have security. They will be fine.
Speaker 1: Kaylee mckin any, by the way, is doing a great job.
Speaker 1: My old friend over at the White House. We go
Speaker 1: back to our days being two of the only conservative
Speaker 1: commentators at CNN who were not complete whimps. But here
Speaker 1: she is speaking a very basic truth that set the
Speaker 1: media just into a flurry of outrage. Oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: play clip thirteen mark. Our police are described as the
Speaker 1: blue line in American society between peace and chaos, between
Speaker 1: order and anarchy, and that thin blue line has done
Speaker 1: quite a bit. Just looking at twenty eighteen numbers. Murder
Speaker 1: around eleven thousand, nine hundred and seventy, robbery arrests eighty
Speaker 1: eight thousand, one hundred thirty, aggravated assault three hundred ninety
Speaker 1: five thousand, eight hundred, violent crime arrests one hundred ninety
Speaker 1: five nine hundred. That's police officers who are doing the arresting.
Speaker 1: You eliminate police officers, you will have chaos, crime, and
Speaker 1: anarchy in the streets and that's something that's unacceptable to
Speaker 1: the president. Does anyone disagree with that? No, But now
Speaker 1: they're changing their stands. Now they're saying, oh no, no,
Speaker 1: we're Democrats. Were We're not going to be that insane.
Speaker 1: We won't do that. That's too much for us. It's
Speaker 1: amazing to see this happen, but it's not surprising at all.
Speaker 1: It's not surprising at all that it took a couple
Speaker 1: of days here for people to come forward and say,
Speaker 1: hold on a minute, if you defund cops, you're going
Speaker 1: to have anarchy in the streets. You're going to have
Speaker 1: more violence the minority communities that the Democrats claim to
Speaker 1: want to support and protect, those communities will be the
Speaker 1: worst affected by the reduction in police presence. They'll be
Speaker 1: the ones that have the greatest difficulties as a result
Speaker 1: of all of this, because that's where you have a concentration,
Speaker 1: a disproportion of concentration of crime in urban centers. So
Speaker 1: how is this helping it And it's not helping. It
Speaker 1: helps the Democrats, helps their lust for power, which always
Speaker 1: explains really ultimately what the Democrats are up to. Thanks
Speaker 1: for listening to The Busson Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe
Speaker 1: on Apple Podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get
Speaker 1: your podcasts. Sports in the news again, you got cancel culture,
Speaker 1: you got wokeness, and you've got the return of some
Speaker 1: professional athletics, all things that I wanted to get to today.
Speaker 1: And because as you all know, I am not exactly
Speaker 1: mister professional sports, we're bringing somebody who is Boston radio
Speaker 1: legend and host of his own podcast. Now Jerry Callahan
Speaker 1: from the Boston area joins us once again. Jerry, good
Speaker 1: to have you back. Good to be with you, my friend.
Speaker 1: So you know, I've been given Drew Brees a hard
Speaker 1: time who and I feel that Drew Brees seems like
Speaker 1: a great American. What he said was patriotic. Producer Mark
Speaker 1: tells me he's one of the best qbs, perhaps of
Speaker 1: all time, and he seems like a really good dude.
Speaker 1: And he's now apologized. I don't know if we're up
Speaker 1: to fifteen or twenty apologies or what it is today,
Speaker 1: but his wife is apologizing and the groveling. Now, is
Speaker 1: this just because the guy, if he wants to continue
Speaker 1: to be in the NFL, he's gotten no choice. And
Speaker 1: what do you make of this? Well, it was very
Speaker 1: disappointing because he didn't, let mean, let's start with this buck.
Speaker 1: He didn't say anything offensive. He didn't say anything for
Speaker 1: which he should have to apologize somebody. I've just said
Speaker 1: he kind of gave his stock answer to the question
Speaker 1: about players kneeling. You know, he doesn't kneel. He loves
Speaker 1: his country, he respects his grandfather's his fun in World
Speaker 1: War Two. So they didn't say anything wrong. I mean,
Speaker 1: it just wasn't woke up in this day and age.
Speaker 1: So they came after him, and you're right, man, he's
Speaker 1: been above reproacheck. The number that the money's given to
Speaker 1: a charity in New Orleans is like thirty thirty five million.
Speaker 1: He's got an impeccable record, just one of the best
Speaker 1: stand up guys, family guy, you know, good Christian man.
Speaker 1: And they came after him hard. The reason he started apologizing,
Speaker 1: I think is the teammates. You know, he's got some
Speaker 1: really important teammates that he could lose. Alvin Kamara, the
Speaker 1: running back, Michael Thomas, Malcolm Jenkins, these guys were upset.
Speaker 1: I think he could have survived if you know, other
Speaker 1: guys or media people were mad. Adam He could have
Speaker 1: lived with that, but he had to reconcile with the
Speaker 1: teammates and he did. And as you know, once you apologize,
Speaker 1: they you know, it's not like they stopped coming at you.
Speaker 1: They kept coming. And I think you might not get this,
Speaker 1: maybe producer Mark Will he reached a new low. He
Speaker 1: actually had to make a personal phone call through Shanna
Speaker 1: Sharp was one of the biggest clowns on TV, and
Speaker 1: I edd to call him and apologised him personally because
Speaker 1: Sam and Ruff. But Drew Brees should have been picked
Speaker 1: out of the league for what he said. So you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's tough tough with Drew Brees, you know, I mean,
Speaker 1: he has an immaculate record. Some guys don't trust an
Speaker 1: immaculate record. I do, though, Jerry, because I have an
Speaker 1: immaculate record. So there's that. And and I want to
Speaker 1: also just get your take on Roger Goodell and the
Speaker 1: fact that now he seems to be endorsing you know,
Speaker 1: Ruth Bader Ginsburg. I mentioned the top of the show,
Speaker 1: the far left Supreme Court justice icon to the left
Speaker 1: has said no kneeling during the anthem is disrespectful. Actually
Speaker 1: she said this. I was actually pretty surprised, but I
Speaker 1: guess she figures, you know, what are they really gonna
Speaker 1: do to her? Right? So they need they need her
Speaker 1: more than any They need her more than any NFL player.
Speaker 1: They need her more than any any sports league. And
Speaker 1: they know that. So they're not gonna do anything. But
Speaker 1: you know, you got Goodell now coming forward and saying
Speaker 1: that effectively. You know, kneeling is great, go ahead and
Speaker 1: nil during the anthem. I think if people do this
Speaker 1: year in the NFL could be in trouble. I mean, look,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna watch after they kneel. I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: do it. Well. The NFL can survive anything. I mean,
Speaker 1: the NFL is the only sport, the only league that
Speaker 1: really matters. I mean, let's be honest. The NBA guys
Speaker 1: are gonna do it. Lebron's gonna wears I can't breathe
Speaker 1: T shirts. They're gonna be kneeling, and the protest and baseball,
Speaker 1: you know who cares someone will kneel. I'm sure football.
Speaker 1: All eyes will be on football. It'll start September and
Speaker 1: there'll be guys kneeling. I mean on every team, you know,
Speaker 1: every week. It's gonna be a big deal. Trump will
Speaker 1: go at them, Goodell will have to defend them. I
Speaker 1: think it's gotten kind of scary for Goodell because if
Speaker 1: you saw that video in audio, I think he played
Speaker 1: it where he is groveling. He's not on his knees,
Speaker 1: but he's close, and he's apologizing for the way he
Speaker 1: handling the past and apologizing for the rat past sins
Speaker 1: for the league. And I'm telling you, but he's thinking
Speaker 1: about taking a knee himself. He feels that they are threatened,
Speaker 1: intimidated by the you know, the Kaepernick movement that I'm
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised that one week he got on
Speaker 1: the field, held hands with some players and took a knee.
Speaker 1: Then you will see, you know, a real division among fans.
Speaker 1: And you know, it'll be Trump on one side, it'll
Speaker 1: be you know, Kaepernick on the other. It'll be like
Speaker 1: it was three years ago times you know, one hundred.
Speaker 1: It's going to get wild. We're speaking of Jerry Callahan
Speaker 1: of Boston radio fame and also now host of the
Speaker 1: Jerry Callahan Podcast, which you should also listen to, highly
Speaker 1: endorsed by producer Mark. I might add producer Mark a
Speaker 1: big fan Jerry, so I wanted to, Oh, no, for real,
Speaker 1: I wanted to also get your take here on just
Speaker 1: sports journalism, and generally right now in the New York
Speaker 1: Times has gone on this this wokeness purge, and they
Speaker 1: got rid of their op ed editor and and we
Speaker 1: look at this, and I've been saying for a while
Speaker 1: that journalism people need to just understand that these are
Speaker 1: warring aganda factions, really, and it's almost all dominated by
Speaker 1: the left, and it's very little that's allowed to give
Speaker 1: an alternative point of view. But then I have some friends,
Speaker 1: I know some people I keep it quiet that I
Speaker 1: know in the in the ESPN and Fox Sports worlds,
Speaker 1: and it sounds like they're also, like I wokeness. If
Speaker 1: you can't be Drew Breese and speak honestly about patriotism
Speaker 1: and respect for the flag, I got to assume a
Speaker 1: sports journalist who wants to keep his job at ESPN
Speaker 1: or her job is gonna have to say, that's right,
Speaker 1: we're all kneeling now. Yes, you couldn't be more right.
Speaker 1: It's I mean, ESPN's is the most woke places. It's
Speaker 1: worse than you know, MSNBC, ESPN they know they had
Speaker 1: Keepernick's back three years ago and they have doubled down.
Speaker 1: Now they will be uh. I mean they were criticizing Breeze.
Speaker 1: Any player. I mean, you're not gonna hear any player
Speaker 1: speak honestly on this subject or any subject going forward
Speaker 1: after they saw what they did to Breeze. I mean,
Speaker 1: nobody's safe. You will not hear any guys talk about,
Speaker 1: you know, loving their country or right. Yeah, if Drew
Speaker 1: Bridges can't do it, I'm assuming that the third string
Speaker 1: tight end or whatever is probably not going to be.
Speaker 1: He's not gonna be making a big thing of it. No,
Speaker 1: And I'm telling you this is a message to them,
Speaker 1: and you're right there. I mean, if we know journalisms
Speaker 1: that I've heard you and I've said it too, this
Speaker 1: is I think is as clear as signed as anything.
Speaker 1: When they get rid of the editorial page editor at
Speaker 1: the New York Times for running a column by a
Speaker 1: sitting US senator, Harvard grad and war hero, you can't
Speaker 1: have any of that, so they get rid of him,
Speaker 1: and that's again sending the message to everybody. But you're
Speaker 1: gonna see ESPN has a bunch of shows, a bunch
Speaker 1: of hosts who think, you know that all the players
Speaker 1: should kneel that you know, all cups are are bad
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, and and they hate the evil
Speaker 1: Orange Man as much as anybody. So yeah, that is
Speaker 1: absolutely for sure. Speaking to Jerry Callahan, check out his
Speaker 1: podcast Guys and Jerry Callahan Show, where he talks about
Speaker 1: a whole range of issues, politics, sports, culture, you name it. Um,
Speaker 1: just just give me some updates here, Jerry, you know,
Speaker 1: because I do want We don't have time to get
Speaker 1: into the lockdowns really right now. I've been a big
Speaker 1: critic of the across the board lockdown approach and just
Speaker 1: the lack of transparency and honesty. And now what we
Speaker 1: see with the protests can end social distancing, but you know,
Speaker 1: for funerals, couldn't for loved ones and everything else. So
Speaker 1: we've seen all the hypocrisy and all the craziness. But
Speaker 1: I do want sports to come back, one for entertainment
Speaker 1: value for myself, but also just in general. It feels
Speaker 1: like that's a big sign of normalcy for the country.
Speaker 1: Where are we right now with NBA and NHL and
Speaker 1: the NFL, Where where are they in terms of coming
Speaker 1: back when? And that's a good question. They're all still
Speaker 1: negotiating baseball looks like the one that's in trouble. They
Speaker 1: have not agreed, you know, the pro rated salaries, and
Speaker 1: the Union has dug in their heels, and I think
Speaker 1: it's it's Baseball is gonna take the biggest hit. It
Speaker 1: was already struggling, it was already losing, losing eyeballs, and
Speaker 1: and kids weren't really interested. I think it's going to
Speaker 1: take the biggest hit. The NBA. I don't know what
Speaker 1: they're doing. They're talking about playing now until October and
Speaker 1: then stopping and starting again and I don't know January
Speaker 1: or something. It's all I don't know. It's all being
Speaker 1: negotiated as we speak. But as I said before, I
Speaker 1: feel like football if football starts one time, buck like
Speaker 1: college and pro. You're right that it's such a sign
Speaker 1: of we're back to you know, this is America, and
Speaker 1: we're back to doing what we do, you know, watching football.
Speaker 1: And I think they'll do it with I mean, I've
Speaker 1: been saying it for a couple of months, doing it
Speaker 1: with crowds of I don't know, twenty thousand, maybe twenty
Speaker 1: five and a seventy five seat state, seventy five thousand
Speaker 1: seat stated something like that just as you know, it
Speaker 1: just show that they that they care about social distancing,
Speaker 1: but they but they really don't. I think the Trump
Speaker 1: rally is going to be the first sign that the
Speaker 1: you know, countries roaring back whenever that is later this month,
Speaker 1: and then you know, when football camp begins at the
Speaker 1: end of July being in August will be another good sign.
Speaker 1: I just before I let you go, Jerry, I I
Speaker 1: used to watch a lot of the NBA, and I
Speaker 1: used to go to a lot of Knicks games here
Speaker 1: here in New York. But it was back in the nineties.
Speaker 1: And I've watched this show that I've been recommending to everybody.
Speaker 1: It's actually an ESPNUM documentary on the It's called The
Speaker 1: Last Dance about the about the Bulls and the nineties
Speaker 1: and that team was basketball just was Was the NBA
Speaker 1: just a better league then with better stories? Or you know,
Speaker 1: is is that just nostalgia talking for mine? Because I
Speaker 1: feel like today the NBA it's like a three point
Speaker 1: shooting contest where everyone six foot ten and nobody cares
Speaker 1: what team they play for, and it just feels like
Speaker 1: it's it's just not a good product to me. But
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, how how do you how do
Speaker 1: you gauge now versus then back in the nineties with
Speaker 1: the Bulls and Knicks, the Pistons, et cetera, and the
Speaker 1: Celtics don't want to leave Larry Bird out. The Celtics Lakers.
Speaker 1: You know. The eighties, yea was that was the Hey, dude,
Speaker 1: that was the greatest you know, bird magic rivalry. You know,
Speaker 1: that was when the NBA was at its best. And
Speaker 1: then along came the Pistons and then the Bulls in
Speaker 1: Jordan and I was sitting right there. I saw myself
Speaker 1: in the Last Dance when George scored sixty three and
Speaker 1: the second year in the playoffs, in the first round
Speaker 1: playoffs game against the Celtics, it was the most amazing
Speaker 1: performance I've ever seen by anybody. But you know, they
Speaker 1: get swept, you know, birden Selfic swept them. So those
Speaker 1: with the glory days, I'm with you. Not only does
Speaker 1: it feel like a three point shooting contest where you know,
Speaker 1: everyone makes the playoffs and that kind of thing, But
Speaker 1: I'm telling you back to the you know, the story
Speaker 1: of the day, back to the you know, the woke culture.
Speaker 1: The NBA is the wokeust league, and you got guys
Speaker 1: like you know Lebron and Steve Kerr and Popovich who
Speaker 1: just hate Trump, and you know these are guys that
Speaker 1: will you know, Lebron said that the police were hunting him,
Speaker 1: hunting black men when they leave their houses. Deeply irresponsible
Speaker 1: thing to say, reckless, just idiotic thing, and that you know,
Speaker 1: that doesn't help. I think there are a lot of
Speaker 1: people that say screw him, especially when they know Lebron
Speaker 1: is afraid to criticize China at the same time. It
Speaker 1: was the same day, I believe, but the same day
Speaker 1: that he ripped the Drew Brees, same day Rippdrew Brees
Speaker 1: and anyone that criticized Kepernick that the day that China
Speaker 1: outlawed any criticism of their anthem. And another word from
Speaker 1: Lebron not a word. Yeah, all right, everybody. Jerry Callahan
Speaker 1: the man himself, he heard him, check him out his
Speaker 1: podcast and Jerry Callahan show. And Jerry, great to have
Speaker 1: some Boston flavor in the show. My friend, thanks so
Speaker 1: much for showing up. We appreciate it. Good to be
Speaker 1: with you. Buck, thanks for heaving me. You're in the
Speaker 1: Freedom Hunt. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. CrossFit
Speaker 1: looks like it is now canceled. I saw this one
Speaker 1: popping on social media, which is where so much of
Speaker 1: this now happens. You will recall that there was a
Speaker 1: big backlash against against the one of the primary stakeholders
Speaker 1: in soul Cycle, which is a very expensive stationary bike
Speaker 1: class that I will admit to having done one time
Speaker 1: in my life. And it was sheer misery and I
Speaker 1: hated every second of it. But that was for just
Speaker 1: supporting Trump. Somebody was in fact, yeah, they were just
Speaker 1: upset that there was a Trump supporter that was a
Speaker 1: large owner. And now you have a whole bunch of
Speaker 1: problems with CrossFit Reebok. This was today. Reebok has ended.
Speaker 1: Reebok has ended partnership with CrossFit. And remember CrossFit we
Speaker 1: think of as a style of workout, but it also
Speaker 1: is a company and a brand. Here we go, after
Speaker 1: CrossFit CEO Greg Glassman made an insensitive remark about George
Speaker 1: Floyd on Twitter yesterday, Reebok has ended its partnership and
Speaker 1: there's other people that are pulling out. Everyone's all really upset.
Speaker 1: And here's what I think it is so interesting about this.
Speaker 1: The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation that was the
Speaker 1: outfit of Washington University that put out the numbers that
Speaker 1: we were all supposed to believe on how bad things
Speaker 1: we're gonna get with COVID nineteen, and how if you
Speaker 1: didn't listen to them, huge numbers of people were going
Speaker 1: to die and all this stuff, right, the Institute for
Speaker 1: Health Metrics and Evaluation, which was completely wrong and really
Speaker 1: catastrophically wrong in its predictions about how many people are
Speaker 1: going to die and everything else from COVID nineteen is
Speaker 1: clearly politicized, folks, because they've come out with a statement.
Speaker 1: Remember they were pushing, oh my gosh, we're all going
Speaker 1: to die from COVID nineteen, Hide under your bed. That
Speaker 1: was the IHME modeling that was used, and that's what happened.
Speaker 1: And then we have these massive protests all over. We're
Speaker 1: told that social distancing is so necessary because others, A,
Speaker 1: You're going to spread the disease everywhere. That's what they
Speaker 1: tell us, even outside, even outdoors. And the HIM put
Speaker 1: out a tweet on June fourth, racism and discrimination are
Speaker 1: critical public health issues that demand an urgent response wherever
Speaker 1: they occur. Racism is a public health issue. Oh I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: I have a hundred have one hundred thousand people died
Speaker 1: from racism in the last ninety days. If so, please
Speaker 1: explain how, and please explain what we're supposed to do
Speaker 1: about this. Once you've explained how, which is I think
Speaker 1: the first major hurdle that no one can do, then
Speaker 1: explain how we're supposed to fix that. Oh no, that's rights.
Speaker 1: These people are so brainwashed. The left is so insane
Speaker 1: that even their health experts are saying, well, I mean
Speaker 1: there's a pandemic, that's we told you, killing so many
Speaker 1: people that we have to take away all of your rights,
Speaker 1: unlock you in your homes. But if people want to
Speaker 1: fight against racism, that's okay. Then you can go out
Speaker 1: mix in the public sphere, you know, call on each other.
Speaker 1: Everything else fine, more important, more important. I will never
Speaker 1: trust these public health frauds again, and I haven't trusted
Speaker 1: them in weeks anyway. But this is spitting in the face.
Speaker 1: Is of every person who has lost a job because
Speaker 1: of the lockdown, who could not go to a funeral
Speaker 1: because of the lockdown, Spitting in their faces, of all
Speaker 1: the kids that haven't been able to go to school,
Speaker 1: aren't going to school, can't go to camp, all summer
Speaker 1: because of social distancing. But fighting racism is so important,
Speaker 1: that's what they say, well, important enough that people should die.
Speaker 1: They are telling you that that anti racism protests that
Speaker 1: are really just about mobilization of the left against Trump,
Speaker 1: as we know, but anti quote quote anti racism protests
Speaker 1: are important enough that huge numbers of people should be
Speaker 1: risking their lives based on what they were telling us
Speaker 1: even weeks ago about the lethality and virality of COVID nineteen. Now,
Speaker 1: Greg Glassman, the CEO of a cross Fit, responded to
Speaker 1: the IHM here it's it's Floyd nineteen, and they're all
Speaker 1: and they're oh, so okay. Now you can say that
Speaker 1: that's insensitive, certainly to the George Floyd family. And this
Speaker 1: guy died, is killed by a cop. But the point
Speaker 1: that I think he was trying to get at here
Speaker 1: is not really about George Floyd or about It's just
Speaker 1: about how the IHM, which put out a hashtag black
Speaker 1: Lives Matter tweet and is being used for the numbers
Speaker 1: to justify all the COVID policy, thinks we're all morons
Speaker 1: and that we should forget about what we've been told
Speaker 1: for months and the pain and the suffering that the
Speaker 1: entire country has suffered through because of their numbers, they
Speaker 1: were the primary source for metrics funded by Bill Gates. Folks,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, this is unacceptable. I'm not going to let
Speaker 1: this go. They have been so dishonest. This whole thing
Speaker 1: was such a scam. They are such frauds. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: Now social distancing doesn't matter because of the protests. Are
Speaker 1: you kidding me? Remember protests to go to your job,
Speaker 1: or to keep your livelihood up in running, or to
Speaker 1: have basic day to day rights of movement and speech
Speaker 1: and member protests weren't allowed before. That's not allowed. You
Speaker 1: can't protest in favor of that, but protesting and favor
Speaker 1: of ending racism. We've already we've already had a Black
Speaker 1: Lives Matter movement. What did it make better? How did
Speaker 1: it improve minority communities? We've already been We've been through this.
Speaker 1: They burned down neighborhood, there were riots. They did this
Speaker 1: in Saint Louis, they did this in Baltimore, they did
Speaker 1: this in other places. There were huge Black Lives Matter
Speaker 1: protests through New York City. What was better afterwards? What changed?
Speaker 1: What improved? Nothing? But nothing? If you're a leftist, if
Speaker 1: you're a Democrat, is worth now risking lives and risking
Speaker 1: your professional credibility and reputation in order to support the
Speaker 1: agenda of Pelosi and Schumer. Thanks for listening to The
Speaker 1: Bus Sesson Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts,
Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. It's
Speaker 1: almost roll call time. But for so I just want
Speaker 1: to say, hold your wild stallions, everybody, because we got
Speaker 1: some news for you. And I had no idea when
Speaker 1: I brought this up yesterday on the show that this
Speaker 1: I swear this is just it's something. There was some
Speaker 1: synchronicity here. There was. It was fate because while I'm
Speaker 1: while I'm given producer mark or hard time for being
Speaker 1: a young whipper snapper millennial, unlike a gray bearded, gravitas
Speaker 1: full millennial like myself, because we are technically both millennials,
Speaker 1: which I like to remind him of. But I'm the
Speaker 1: old man millennial, the grout well who he's grabbed you.
Speaker 1: But I'm the old man millennial with the gray beard,
Speaker 1: and he's a young millennial. He has not seen some
Speaker 1: of the true classics of really the what's the generation below?
Speaker 1: Jen and why right the gen hy classics, and that
Speaker 1: included Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. And now, in case
Speaker 1: he needed any more reason to see it, they are
Speaker 1: coming out with a third Bill and Ted movie. Here
Speaker 1: is some of excellent here's some of the trailer. Twenty
Speaker 1: five years ago, you played a concert in front of
Speaker 1: the entire cul One month ago, you played in Barstow, California,
Speaker 1: for forty people. Most of them were there for two
Speaker 1: dollars Taco night. They're on, Ted, What have you got
Speaker 1: to say for yourselves? Be excellent to each other? Party on, dude,
Speaker 1: there we go. Producer Mark, come on now, you've got
Speaker 1: a third Bill and Ted's movie waiting for you. Now.
Speaker 1: But can I go to a movie theater and watch it?
Speaker 1: How is that gonna work? I don't know. It might
Speaker 1: be like a direct I think all movie theaters are
Speaker 1: going to be out of business after this. It's a
Speaker 1: fair point. I think this might be a direct to
Speaker 1: you know, direct to your home kind of situation. But
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure you could watch Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.
Speaker 1: I'm sure they have it on demand or something, you know,
Speaker 1: And it's been twenty five years, so it's amazing how
Speaker 1: old that movie is. I don't even realize it's really
Speaker 1: the I think it is the second movie Keyanu Reeves made.
Speaker 1: Have you seen see now I'm in a Kiano's own.
Speaker 1: I'm assuming you've seen all the Matrix movies because you're
Speaker 1: a civilized person, even though the third Matrix movie was
Speaker 1: total trash. But I'm assuming you've also seen the series
Speaker 1: with Keanu Reeves known. I'm forgetting what it is called
Speaker 1: on air? What is it called? Where he plays like
Speaker 1: the gun Slinger? Come on, you know I'm talking about.
Speaker 1: Is this twenty four? No? No, no, my gosh, good
Speaker 1: heavens man, that's a great series. Though, good heavens, I can't.
Speaker 1: I'm blanking on the on the Keyanu Reeves right now.
Speaker 1: I'm you know, I'm My brothers make fun of me
Speaker 1: because I've always been partial to Keyanu um and you
Speaker 1: know he's he's a good actor, and I think he
Speaker 1: does a good job. And what he does, I mean,
Speaker 1: point break is clearly one of the great, the great
Speaker 1: classics of John Wick. There we go, you've seen John Wick? Right? No, interesting, Well,
Speaker 1: let's let's add that to your list. And let's also
Speaker 1: get your roll call because I'm gonna stop making demands
Speaker 1: of producer Marks time with movies hit It, Liberty, truth
Speaker 1: and great hair. Feel those funky beats. It's time for
Speaker 1: roll call. Alrighty, it is time for roll call, Producer Mark.
Speaker 1: Are we're getting some good voicemails coming in for Friday?
Speaker 1: By the way, I want every to get excited about
Speaker 1: that one. Yeah, of course they're coming in. I hadn't
Speaker 1: listened to them yet, but they're coming in. Hey, all right,
Speaker 1: all right, I'll take it. Facebook dot com, slash buck sexon,
Speaker 1: speaking of my name, bucksexon dot com, you're one stop
Speaker 1: shop for all things freedom hunt and we should actually
Speaker 1: set up a shop on there. I'll talk to the
Speaker 1: folks about that. We got to do that too, but yes, indeed,
Speaker 1: things to talk about, things to discuss, and oh, team Bucket.
Speaker 1: iHeartMedia dot com if you want to send us an email. Um,
Speaker 1: for some reason, the crazy libs are coming at me
Speaker 1: on Instagram. All that's where I get a lot of
Speaker 1: the a lot of the mean messages. Less of it
Speaker 1: on Facebook, a lot more. I don't know where it is,
Speaker 1: but the really mean psychos out there seem to come
Speaker 1: at you on Instagram now I'll enlighten you a little bit.
Speaker 1: Instagram tends to sew a bit younger than Facebook's. That's
Speaker 1: probably why then. Although Team buck Youth is awesome, but
Speaker 1: unfortunately they're not every They're not all the youth, that's
Speaker 1: for sure. Not everybody, not everybody agrees with the Buckster
Speaker 1: tells them, Um, let's get to at Len first. Up here,
Speaker 1: Buck love to have you guys moved to Florida. It's
Speaker 1: a state of freedom and liberty. Forget Austin far left yuppies,
Speaker 1: social justice idiots and environmentalists. Ouch. I don't know, KLBJ. Austin,
Speaker 1: Florida's calling you out right now, Florida's calling out my
Speaker 1: Austin peeps. I think Austin might have to make some
Speaker 1: jokes about order. Man. Now, I'm just gonna I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna say, all right, so you better write in from
Speaker 1: kalbj world. Anyway, I'd love to see everyone get together
Speaker 1: and start marching to protest that continued wearing of masks
Speaker 1: and closed venues of all types. Since there is no
Speaker 1: law that says you have to wear the mask everywhere,
Speaker 1: and restaurant and bar owners can open and just post
Speaker 1: a sign no masks required, patronize at your own risk.
Speaker 1: The cops can't arrest arrest everyone, and in New York
Speaker 1: they'll let you out anyway. In New York they're saying
Speaker 1: it is an executive order. I don't know if that
Speaker 1: would really stand up in court, but I do know
Speaker 1: that right now we are told that you must you
Speaker 1: must comply with the mask face covering stuff. You do
Speaker 1: not have an option if you're a business, And yeah,
Speaker 1: that's where that's where it is. So yes, I would
Speaker 1: like to see, man, I'd like to see mask non
Speaker 1: compliance for certainly outdoor face mask wearing. And I think
Speaker 1: if you're unless you're in a high risk category indoors too,
Speaker 1: it's gonna say it. And I understand that were how
Speaker 1: many cases of this virus or even out there right
Speaker 1: now that people are so worried about. There's three hundred
Speaker 1: and twenty million of us alrighty ah, where are we now?
Speaker 1: Michael hey Buck, Remember Europe was mostly peaceful in the
Speaker 1: nineteen forties and the US was mostly peaceful in the
Speaker 1: first half of the eighteen sixties. Shields hie and no
Speaker 1: bended knees. Well, Michael, that's a pretty intense, pretty intense
Speaker 1: political series of political comparisons you're making there, my friend,
Speaker 1: I don't think we're heading for really really, really really
Speaker 1: bad stuff. I'll say that I think we'll be all right.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I like to be an optimist. I
Speaker 1: like to be an optimist. Dennis, Oh my gosh, Buck
Speaker 1: don't know if I should laugh or cry over this
Speaker 1: crazy defund the police narrative. Your description of it being destructive, stupid,
Speaker 1: and maniacles absolutely spot on. So how bizarre or maybe
Speaker 1: just playing scary? Is it that people actually believe that
Speaker 1: it's somehow a solution is something. If they believe that
Speaker 1: it's such a good and workable idea, then here's a
Speaker 1: crazy thought for them. Why don't they just promote the
Speaker 1: idea of outlawing criminals? Makes sense that if we don't
Speaker 1: have criminals, then by all means we don't need law
Speaker 1: enforce And thanks as always for the great show. Yeah, Dennis,
Speaker 1: this is what I say. It's like having marches to
Speaker 1: outlaw cruelty or meanness. Cruelty is bad, Racism is bad,
Speaker 1: but if you have a march to outlaw it, rather
Speaker 1: too of it to just oppose it. Okay, how though,
Speaker 1: the how matters a whole lot. There is universal agreement
Speaker 1: on immoral things being on things that are clearly immoral
Speaker 1: being bad. But if you want to take policy action,
Speaker 1: you have to describe what it is. And I'm telling
Speaker 1: you I'm seeing this with a lot of the stuff
Speaker 1: with cops right now. You know, all major police departments
Speaker 1: are just waiting for an opportunity. Any cop that's a
Speaker 1: little a little too rough. And I don't mean anyone
Speaker 1: dying or anything terrible like that. I just mean anyone's
Speaker 1: a little too rough with the protester, they're going to
Speaker 1: take your badge, to take your job and maybe prosecute
Speaker 1: you for that. Now, okay, So people are then give
Speaker 1: the impunity with which the more violent protesters the rioters,
Speaker 1: are able to act against law enforcement of that circumstance,
Speaker 1: just saying it's a bad, bad situation, bad situation. Let's
Speaker 1: see here, Jay, hey, Buck and Mark love the show.
Speaker 1: You guys were asking for a KLBJ listener. Here we
Speaker 1: go to chime in on relocation to Austin. Don't do it.
Speaker 1: I swear I didn't even know this was coming up.
Speaker 1: It's pretty funny. Austin is the bluest, most liberal city.
Speaker 1: In our state, we have self proclaimed socialists on our
Speaker 1: city council. I wear a uniform for a public safety
Speaker 1: entity and I'm employed by the city, so unfortunately these
Speaker 1: bozos make decisions regarding my job. Wow, Jay from KLBJ, Austin, Land,
Speaker 1: that is not a ringing endorsement. Oh there's more. Also,
Speaker 1: the crime has increased as well as homelessness. We're just
Speaker 1: another Seattle. Essentially. Texas is awesome. However, I would recommend
Speaker 1: College Station as a better city to move to, just
Speaker 1: a couple hours south of Austin, home to Texas A
Speaker 1: and M University, land of god fearing gun toting conservatives,
Speaker 1: thanks guys and shields high m. How many people live
Speaker 1: in How many people live in College Station? I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't I've heard of College Station producer Mark, do
Speaker 1: you know what I mean about it? You know about
Speaker 1: you know about sports? I mean, if I had to
Speaker 1: take a guess and be a college town, so there's
Speaker 1: more people, good analysis, fuser, Mark. Well, No, I'm just
Speaker 1: saying this. Probably it's probably a lull during the summer
Speaker 1: around Christmas time when of those students go home. Yeah,
Speaker 1: about one hundred thousand in population and Austin population wise.
Speaker 1: Let me see what it says here. Austin, Texas population
Speaker 1: is almost a million. It's a lot bigger. What's the
Speaker 1: population of Delray Beach, Florida. That's a good quest. Let's
Speaker 1: do this. Ruser market Buck are thinking about where they're
Speaker 1: going to relocate Delray Beach. By the way, if you, dude,
Speaker 1: if you want to move the Freedom up down there,
Speaker 1: we're gonna have that conversation. Seventy thousand. I got no
Speaker 1: problems is I love del Rabid, No problems with that.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of where else we have maybe
Speaker 1: what is is San Antonio a great city? What about
Speaker 1: San Antonio? They have an NBA team almost one point
Speaker 1: five million. You can root for the Spurs. The Admiral
Speaker 1: David Robinson, I remember some things. That's who you remember, Yeah, Duncan, Yeah,
Speaker 1: managing Oble, Tony Parker, Yeah, all those guys. All those
Speaker 1: guys are Spurs. Greg Popovich, who's busy this week crying
Speaker 1: Greg Papa's like, I'm so sorry for my whiteness. That's
Speaker 1: what Greg Papach is out there saying, Oh boy, sad,
Speaker 1: very sad. Um. Okay, well, we'll have to think about Austin.
Speaker 1: That's uh, that was I was not expecting that one.
Speaker 1: You're in. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast, all right.
Speaker 1: Next up here is Greg Hey. Buck. Wanted to just
Speaker 1: make a couple quick points. First, here in Denver they
Speaker 1: are keeping public pools closed, most likely for the rest
Speaker 1: of the summer because they can't abide by social distancing
Speaker 1: rules while at the same time allowing mass close quarter
Speaker 1: gatherings for the protests. And second, the people in England
Speaker 1: vandalizing the Churchill statue must not realize though there probably
Speaker 1: wouldn't be a UK today without him, the insanity of
Speaker 1: all this is pushing me to the brink. Conservatives absolutely
Speaker 1: need to rally and put a stop to this nonsense.
Speaker 1: Shields high Well, Greg, thanks for the update on ninety
Speaker 1: three seven ninety seven FM in Denver. That's right, the
Speaker 1: Freedom Hut, Freedom ninety three seven FM. It's a match
Speaker 1: made in heaven. And as for keeping the pools close,
Speaker 1: that's just nuts man. They're doing it here in New
Speaker 1: York too. They're doing it in New York so you
Speaker 1: can you can mix with you know, three or four
Speaker 1: thousand people shoulders shoulder in the streets for six hours
Speaker 1: at a time, breathing on each other, touch, you know,
Speaker 1: bumping into each other and everything else. But she can't
Speaker 1: go for a swimming open air in a public pool.
Speaker 1: They're not going to allow that because of COVID. These
Speaker 1: people are completely insane, but it's very tough to get
Speaker 1: them to admit that. Michael Bug, your doctor Fauci impression
Speaker 1: cracks me up. But I missed your Warren Wilhelm, as
Speaker 1: Angela Merkel, can we get a little more Vaughn Wilhelm
Speaker 1: shields high from Austin. Michael shaw Kusen tag yah, but
Speaker 1: we would just hold that Austin is like a left
Speaker 1: wing socialist naughty place. So why where are we going
Speaker 1: to movies? To Texas? Angela Merkel wants to know. She
Speaker 1: does not have a good answer for you go. I'm
Speaker 1: not sure yet, but do some Mark likes Delray Beach.
Speaker 1: Cartel Beach has very delicious drinks as well as a
Speaker 1: peached where you can lie out in the song No Nine,
Speaker 1: why not? It sounds like fun to me? I think
Speaker 1: I think Delory Beaches maybe maybe the spot you're close
Speaker 1: to Palm Beach. If you want to be fancy, you
Speaker 1: can always go there. And I hear good things about
Speaker 1: West Palm. I think Bongino is he's in Florida somewhere.
Speaker 1: I don't know where he's He's somewhere down and think
Speaker 1: him and Russia down there, Yeah, I think, well, yeah,
Speaker 1: rushes down Palm Beach. I think Bongino's Palm Beach area too.
Speaker 1: So you know, I'm just saying, those guys know what's up? Edgar? Hey,
Speaker 1: Buck love your show. We love you, Edgar. Where can
Speaker 1: I find accurate statistics about death rates related to police actions?
Speaker 1: I would like to be able to talk intelligently about
Speaker 1: the subject using actual data, Edgar death rates using about
Speaker 1: police actions? You can find The Washington Post is keeping
Speaker 1: a running running tally. I haven't looked, and I haven't
Speaker 1: really spent much time diving into whether there is any
Speaker 1: question about how they use those or how they pull
Speaker 1: those numbers together or anything else. But it's pretty detailed
Speaker 1: from what I understand. So the Washington Post is actually
Speaker 1: keeping a running number of people who are killed by
Speaker 1: long for it's I think it's a little under a
Speaker 1: thousand people a year killed by law enforcement of this country.
Speaker 1: But that includes people who pull a gun and start
Speaker 1: shooting at cops. Right. So that's why when you look
Speaker 1: at the number of people that are killed who weren't
Speaker 1: doing anything at all, or who are I shouldn't even
Speaker 1: say at all, necessarily depends on the case a specific case.
Speaker 1: But people who were not actively attacking cops with a
Speaker 1: lethal weapon, you get down under one hundred very quickly.
Speaker 1: So yep, let's see here. That's my best answer for
Speaker 1: you on that one. And Michael, it is only fitting
Speaker 1: that you bring up the Baltimore Police. But the Baltimore
Speaker 1: but the oh sorry, the BS whoops had another effect
Speaker 1: that people need to be reminded of. They could any
Speaker 1: police officer that could walked, leaving those behind with such
Speaker 1: a depleted force, it was ineffectual for quite a while
Speaker 1: and still not functioning well today, though they do the
Speaker 1: best job they can. Yeah, I am, I'm not surprised
Speaker 1: to hear this. I'm not surprised at all that well, No,
Speaker 1: I'm and I actually knew this about Baltimore, but to
Speaker 1: be reminded of it, I appreciate. Yeah, Baltimore was in
Speaker 1: very very bad shape for and still isn't. You go
Speaker 1: to Baltimore and it's it's pretty astounding how how people
Speaker 1: just accept a degree of criminality on the streets. So
Speaker 1: that's that's what just what just happens. Um So anyway,
Speaker 1: it's uh, yeah, that's that's what's going on there. Trying
Speaker 1: to put something else out of your Here we go, Ryan, right, Buck,
Speaker 1: My wife and I returned from France. Uh last year,
Speaker 1: we had our baby soon thereafter, had a variety of
Speaker 1: three hours in pockets of me time. I suppose they
Speaker 1: find the care anyway, The Buck Secon Show has been
Speaker 1: the most edifying and entertaining piece of political perspective and
Speaker 1: necessity that has graced my early season of fatherhood. Now

Speaker 1: time overseas. Your dedication to research and conviction to administering
Speaker 1: truth has been easily connecting and trustworthy. Thank you, and
