I'm down here right now, Buck. 33 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 1: I was reading we discussed yesterday the Wall Street Journal 34 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 1: article about the fact that red states have recovered far 35 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 1: more rapidly and in fact now employ more people than 36 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 1: they did pre COVID, while Blue states are still over 37 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 1: a million jobs behind. The state of Florida is surging 38 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 1: so many people relocating to Florida, Texas, Tennessee. I saw 39 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 1: in that Wall Street Journal article. My home state of 40 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 1: Tennessee grew at a white, white, hot eight point six 41 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 1: percent rate, the fastest in the nation, and also that 42 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,960 Speaker 1: the employment rate in Tennessee. Unemployment rate in Tennessee is 43 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 1: that its lowest recorded level. And buck off Air, you 44 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 1: and I were just talking that the states that made 45 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 1: the best decisions thanks to federalism, are now being rewarded. 46 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 1: More people are moving there, More people with high incomes 47 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,079 Speaker 1: are moving to these states, and that's going to make 48 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 1: those governments even more efficient and better. This is how 49 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:51,239 Speaker 1: federalism was designed to work. Fifty state laboratories. The states 50 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,079 Speaker 1: that make the right decision get the benefit of population 51 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 1: growth and economic growth. And that's what we're seeing happen 52 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 1: right New York, California, Illinois losing people and because of 53 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,239 Speaker 1: their governance. I mean, I'm a New Yorker, so trust me, 54 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 1: I feel this for everybody who's listening on wo R. 55 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 1: But because of the governance, we should be losing people 56 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 1: as states. That's just the reality of how the system 57 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:22,359 Speaker 1: is supposed to work. We have different state governments operating 58 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 1: so that we can see what works what doesn't, and 59 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 1: we can have some choice. Right this is where I 60 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:32,360 Speaker 1: think the pandemic has reminded people that state government really 61 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 1: does matter. I do believe that we had gotten into 62 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 1: a frame of mind where for a lot of people, 63 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 1: maybe their local government matter to them because of you know, 64 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 1: community regulations and things, but state government, I mean, people 65 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 1: barely even cared who there. You're preaching to the choir 66 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 1: here man, and I'll take it even further, buck, I 67 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 1: didn't even know who was on my school board, right. 68 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 1: I just didn't pay attention. I didn't think about it. 69 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: I was I was worried about president. Maybe I'm paying 70 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 1: attention to the Senate, the national picture, but I didn't 71 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: really focus that much on the state. Now, when you 72 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 1: realize that a bad governor, and the COVID bad governor 73 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: list has many names, but you can certainly throw Gavin Newsom, 74 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 1: Cuomo too bad, too bad, the Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan 75 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 1: and pritz skirts Illinois, and you know, you go down 76 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 1: this list the bad governors. They weren't just saying things 77 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 1: on TV that were annoying. They were telling you your 78 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,480 Speaker 1: business not important enough, shut it down. Oh maybe you're 79 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,279 Speaker 1: gonna go bankrupt. Too bad for you. You mean the 80 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 1: PPP doesn't cover, which it didn't for a lot of 81 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 1: people everything that they needed for their business to thrive. 82 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,920 Speaker 1: Too bad. Your business isn't important enough. Your kids don't 83 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,480 Speaker 1: get to go to school. Your kids have to mask up. 84 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 1: You have to mask up. People realize all of a 85 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 1: sudden hold on a second, that they can do that 86 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 1: much to me in my state. And this was the 87 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 1: big problem that we faced, was that if you lived 88 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 1: in a red state in under the Trump administration, things 89 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 1: were pretty okay, though some of them Texas Abbots should 90 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,159 Speaker 1: have done him a better job in Texas. He's gonna 91 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 1: say it was not. I give him a B minus 92 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,840 Speaker 1: from what I could see as an outsider and from 93 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 1: all my friends. You know, I talked to our buddy Jesse, 94 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,280 Speaker 1: Kelly and uh and um and so many, so many 95 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 1: others down in that state who say that it just 96 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 1: wasn't a good They didn't do a good job at all. Um. 97 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:21,479 Speaker 1: You know, Michael Barry was telling him. I was like, 98 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 1: how's Abbott. He's like, ah, you know, you know, Michael 99 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 1: knows not not not doing a great job during COVID. 100 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 1: But then when they got the federal government, now it 101 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 1: was well, now you you have to deal with this 102 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,479 Speaker 1: madness pretty much no matter where you are. So it 103 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:37,159 Speaker 1: was heads they win tails, they win, right, it didn't 104 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 1: matter effectively, and you know for a lot of people 105 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 1: at least, And that's why I think we see where 106 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,479 Speaker 1: your your state can only do so much when the 107 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 1: federal government overreaches. And then when finally the madness passed, 108 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:54,240 Speaker 1: Florida Tennessee getting huge influxes of people driving up real 109 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 1: estate prices. So that's a good thing for people that 110 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 1: have owned. It's a good thing if you own. Problem 111 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 1: is you're gonna have to pay it if you moved 112 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:01,919 Speaker 1: to a new house, right, unless you move to a 113 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 1: new state. Now. But Ron de Santis, I'm down in Florida. 114 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 1: This is my final day down here. I've been down 115 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:12,039 Speaker 1: here for ten days working and DeSantis, I know there's 116 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: a lot of you out there who were so incredibly 117 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 1: frustrated about this. De Santis, they have a new law 118 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:22,720 Speaker 1: in Florida to make sure that patient's rights are protected. 119 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,479 Speaker 1: This clip is from April, but it has now gone 120 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 1: into effect so that you can speak to your family 121 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 1: and you're not going to have this situation where someone 122 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 1: dies and they're not even allowed to speak to their family. 123 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,480 Speaker 1: Listen to Ron de Santis talk about this patient's rights law. 124 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 1: The bill that we're going to sign today is called 125 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:44,040 Speaker 1: the Note Patient Left a Loan Act, and it increases 126 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 1: patient protections and ensures Florida families have a fundamental right 127 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:52,480 Speaker 1: to visit their loved ones receiving care in Florida hospitals, hospices, 128 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 1: and long term care facilities. To bill bands facilities from 129 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:04,160 Speaker 1: requiring visitors to show proof of COVID vaccination. Also, policies 130 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 1: cannot prohibit physical contacts such as hugging between their loved ones. 131 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 1: They would actually police this where you go in and 132 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 1: you said, okay, you may be able to go, but 133 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 1: you can't give your wife a hug, or you can't 134 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 1: give your kid a hug. I mean, give me a break. 135 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 1: And so we need to be able to protect that 136 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 1: this insurance families can be there and patients can have 137 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 1: their support system around them when it matters most. We 138 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 1: need to remind everybody of this clay because those COVID policies, 139 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 1: like what we what Governor Santist just talked about, was 140 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 1: going on in other states during the pandemic. They were 141 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 1: stupid and cruel. Yes, both of those things we're happening 142 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 1: on a regular basis. Stupid, worthless, cruel policies that the 143 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 1: Fauciites pushed on all of us, and we have not 144 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 1: had an election referendum on this where we've seen. This 145 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 1: is now our opportunity. The Democrats want to They want 146 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 1: you to forget about the padlock schools and the padlock playgrounds. 147 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 1: They want you to forget about double masking, which they 148 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 1: actually told us for a while. I remember that they 149 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 1: told us we should all double mask No people act 150 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 1: like this as normal. That was happening too, all these 151 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 1: all these crazy people in Congress. And did you see 152 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 1: what happened with Joe Biden? I mean, he's still trying this. 153 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 1: Did you they recognize now that everything they did for 154 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 1: COVID was it as aston. We're gonna talk about the 155 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 1: decantist policy here in a second, but I want to 156 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 1: make sure I read this to you. I'm sure you 157 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 1: saw this yesterday, Buck, but Joe Biden, it's suddenly have 158 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 1: you you know that that meme of the guy walking 159 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,719 Speaker 1: around in the in the hot dog suit, where it's 160 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 1: like I don't even know who could have done this 161 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,079 Speaker 1: like that, that's kind of every time that there's something 162 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 1: crazy that happens, people share that online. Well, Joe Biden tweeted, 163 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 1: due to the pandemic, kids aren't this is yesterday. Due 164 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 1: to the pandemic, kids are behind in math and reading. 165 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,320 Speaker 1: We know how to help bridge this gap. Okay, So 166 00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 1: what they're trying to say now, and this is important. 167 00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 1: I want all of you to recognize what's going on 168 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,680 Speaker 1: is they're trying to say due to the pandemic, that's 169 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:09,839 Speaker 1: not true. It was the choices that Democrats and the 170 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:14,320 Speaker 1: teachers unions made during the pandemic that led us here. 171 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,840 Speaker 1: But this rhetorical shift that they're attempting to make now 172 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 1: is well, we had no choices. Due to the pandemic. 173 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 1: Kids are behind in math and reading. No, no, no, no, 174 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 1: due to our response to the pandemic, which was led 175 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,680 Speaker 1: by Democrat mayors. Democrat blue states. You know where kids 176 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,960 Speaker 1: are not behind. Florida where Rod de Santis kept them 177 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 1: in school, Tennessee where Bill Lee kept them in school, 178 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,959 Speaker 1: the states where kids were able to be in school. 179 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,520 Speaker 1: And so as a result of that crazy policy that 180 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 1: you just heard, Rod de Santis announced back in April, 181 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 1: grandma's dying. She can hug her grandkids. Somebody who's been 182 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 1: married for fifty years and is losing a spouse. They 183 00:09:56,080 --> 00:10:00,960 Speaker 1: can hug their spouse. Now they are coming with loaded 184 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 1: bear guns for rodd De Santis. They're writing all their 185 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:08,440 Speaker 1: articles buck They're saying he's worse than how dare he? 186 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,840 Speaker 1: This is great the Washington Post just a few hours ago. 187 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:16,320 Speaker 1: DeSantis is smarter than Trump. That may make him more 188 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 1: of a threat. Dun dun, dune. We should all be 189 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 1: super scared about this, of course. And they've been saying, 190 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,560 Speaker 1: they've been running this out there for a while. What 191 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 1: they mean by bigger threat, they're going to say threat 192 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,840 Speaker 1: to our democracy. Oh my gosh, what they mean is 193 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,960 Speaker 1: threat to their power, as in, who are they going 194 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:39,359 Speaker 1: to put up? What exactly is the attack on desantists 195 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 1: supposed to be? Right? Now, Let's really think about this, 196 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:46,080 Speaker 1: That he was right about everything with COVID, that he 197 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 1: had far less learning loss or any problems than these 198 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 1: blue state governors, that they all try to hold up 199 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,720 Speaker 1: his heroes, That his state is flushed with cash, that 200 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 1: it has less than half the budget of New York, 201 00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,720 Speaker 1: which it actually has more people then, that people are 202 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,960 Speaker 1: locking there, that real estate prices are exploding, that I'm 203 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 1: thinking about moving there myself. What exactly is the attack. 204 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 1: It's so miserable that everybody wants to be there and 205 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,199 Speaker 1: it's been great. If you've been living there during the pandemic, 206 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 1: that doesn't seem Oh, he's criminalizing women, That's what Cavinusom said. 207 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,560 Speaker 1: It's a crime to be a woman now in Florida. Yeah, 208 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 1: I know some women in Florida. They're doing okay. I 209 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:25,920 Speaker 1: think they're doing pretty well. Now Florida is going to 210 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,640 Speaker 1: have to decide what to do, as every state will 211 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 1: in the wake of Roe v. Way being returned to 212 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 1: the States. And we need to talk about some of 213 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 1: the poll results that are coming out there too, Buck, 214 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 1: because seventy five percent, for instance, in the most recent 215 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 1: Harvard Harris poll said they didn't believe the Supreme Court 216 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 1: should be making decisions and that democratic process should play 217 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 1: out as it pertains to abortion. So Democrats are in 218 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:57,840 Speaker 1: a tough spot because also data is reflecting ninety percent 219 00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 1: of Americans don't believe in late term abortions, and Democrats 220 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 1: are even supposedly moderate Democrats like Tim Ryan in Ohio, 221 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 1: who doesn't have the time today to meet with Joe Biden. 222 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,559 Speaker 1: I love that Joe Biden is so unpopular that even 223 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 1: Senate candidates in their states Stacy Abrahams and Georgia. This happened. 224 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:23,320 Speaker 1: Raphael Warnock. I think now it's Tim Ryan in Ohio, 225 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 1: the President of the United States coming to your state. 226 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 1: You're running for the Senate. Your schedule's too busy to 227 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:34,280 Speaker 1: hang out with them. It's amazing could remind everyone. Even 228 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 1: Democrats knew through three election cycles, plus we're Biden officially 229 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 1: ran and many others where he thought about it. Even 230 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:47,440 Speaker 1: Democrats knew Joe Biden was a sub mediocrity and a 231 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 1: loser until like five minutes ago. They knew it, but 232 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 1: they just didn't. They figured it's the pandemic. Everyone knows 233 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 1: his name, it's the brand that people know, and we'll 234 00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:59,959 Speaker 1: just go with it. We're gonna hide him in the basement. 235 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 1: They got. Joe Biden got elected president because of COVID, 236 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:04,920 Speaker 1: because he ran a campaign from the basement which was 237 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:08,439 Speaker 1: all about Trump. And they also did everything they could 238 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:13,520 Speaker 1: to change the election procedures in many different toss up states, 239 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 1: and they terrified suburban women by Joe Biden saying I'll 240 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 1: solve COVID. More people are dying with COVID today. You're 241 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 1: not hearing media talk about it than we're dying with 242 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 1: COVID at this time last year. Do you know that 243 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 1: buck Like July fourth last year, compare, it's up about 244 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 1: fifty percent the COVID debts because the COVID shots don't 245 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 1: really do very much in terms of providing long range protection. 246 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,440 Speaker 1: And we'll talk to our buddy Alex Barnson who drops 247 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 1: those truth bombs and they hit the target so many 248 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:47,600 Speaker 1: times that he got a Twitter band. Well guess what, Well, 249 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 1: we'll come back and tell you more later. Oh, that's 250 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 1: a heck of a tease. That's what we call on 251 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 1: the radio business, keeping listeners engaged. And I'm gonna tell 252 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,960 Speaker 1: you what we also say in the radio business is 253 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 1: you don't want to end up a mediocrity and an 254 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 1: incompetent like Joe Biden. You don't want to end up 255 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 1: a failure in life when it comes to getting that 256 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 1: ultimate brass ring. His whole life, Joe Biden hoped to 257 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:16,679 Speaker 1: be president. He finally became president. Boom, He's the worst 258 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 1: president in a hundred years. Don't be Joe Biden in 259 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,800 Speaker 1: your own life. Get a great promotion, find yourself in 260 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,680 Speaker 1: a dream job, and then not be able to perform 261 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 1: because you don't have the energy that you need.

Travis end Buck Sexton Show. This 281 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 1: is one of those things that you see and it's 282 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:57,120 Speaker 1: just one incident, it's just one, one news story, but 283 00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:01,360 Speaker 1: it feels like it's indicative of so much more that 284 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:07,240 Speaker 1: is going on in this case in America's largest city, yesterday, 285 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 1: an aide to New York City Mayor Eric Adams, who 286 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 1: was scouting a location for a mayoral visit, was was 287 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:22,960 Speaker 1: robbed at gunpoint. So an aide to the new mayor 288 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 1: of New York City, a mayor who was elected to 289 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 1: clean up crime in this city, who was constantly pointing 290 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 1: to his law enforcement credentials, which weren't really as extensive 291 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 1: as people were led to believe. That's a whole other 292 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 1: conversation as why he's the guy to clean up New York. 293 00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 1: His aid was robbed, the mayor's aide at gunpoint, broad daylight, 294 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 1: Tuesday morning in Brooklyn, just yesterday. Clay City's not cleaned up, 295 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 1: that's for sure. Did you see how New York City's 296 00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:02,000 Speaker 1: mayor spent July fourth? I mean, I'm assuming celebrities taking selfies. Uh, 297 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 1: there's probably sure that was a part of it. He 298 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 1: also was on shark patrol on a jet ski. Are 299 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 1: you serious? Yes? Which I don't even because that actually 300 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:18,720 Speaker 1: sounds kind of fun, but I don't know that it's 301 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 1: the most efficient way that the mayor could be spending 302 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,359 Speaker 1: his time on July. I'm not kidding. We have a 303 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,439 Speaker 1: very effectation of him, like like Coney Island, and we 304 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:30,679 Speaker 1: have a very effective anti shark deterrent of just you know, 305 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 1: about a quarter mile of like sludge and trash that's 306 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 1: gathered around the beach, and so the shark they can't 307 00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:40,119 Speaker 1: they can't go through that. Man, they see enough empty 308 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 1: bottles and refuse, they go, I'm gonna go somewhere else. 309 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:48,640 Speaker 1: They say that the East River is cleaner now than 310 00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:50,879 Speaker 1: it has been at any point since the Civil War. 311 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 1: That is actually true.

She is a w NBA star 334 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:14,359 Speaker 1: formerly from Baylor. Oh I saw it because she's disappointed 335 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 1: in Biden. So anytime someone's disappointed in Biden, that comes 336 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 1: on my radar. Okay, So she and I know you 337 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:24,399 Speaker 1: know that she was already imprisoned because right about the 338 00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:28,720 Speaker 1: time the Ukraine War in Russia started, a lot of 339 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,760 Speaker 1: women's basketball players go to Russia, where they can evidently 340 00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,840 Speaker 1: make more money than they could if they were playing 341 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 1: solely in the United States. So she was arrested for 342 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 1: drug possession. Allegedly she is still in prison, just like 343 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 1: a little bit of like residue in a vape pen. 344 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:49,040 Speaker 1: It wasn't like she was moving heavy weight. Yeah, well, yeah, 345 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:51,640 Speaker 1: she didn't go. She didn't move to Russia to try 346 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,399 Speaker 1: to become like a drug kingpin. I don't think it 347 00:19:54,480 --> 00:20:00,720 Speaker 1: was for individual use. Side note, if you are young 348 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 1: and you are listening to us and might be inclined 349 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 1: to travel with marijuana or any other kind of drug, 350 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 1: first of all, don't do drug kids. Second, certainly, do 351 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:17,720 Speaker 1: not have possession of drugs ever in a foreign country 352 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:21,119 Speaker 1: period you are you are stepping into a world of 353 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:24,159 Speaker 1: guilty guilty pleasure TV watching that I went through for 354 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 1: a while with Locked Up Abroad, where it's like every 355 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 1: episode is like, you know, I was on holiday and 356 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 1: I was like, I need to make a little extra cash, 357 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:37,040 Speaker 1: you know, So this guy's like, just take this big 358 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:42,119 Speaker 1: brown package. It smelled a bit like marijuana and I 359 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:46,040 Speaker 1: try to get it through the airport and then get 360 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:50,480 Speaker 1: back to the UK on me Holliday, and I was 361 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:54,439 Speaker 1: facing forty years in a labor camp. You're like, yes, dude, 362 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:57,960 Speaker 1: do not take the giant package of drugs through the 363 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 1: airport in Thailand? Broke was it broke down palace back 364 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:05,400 Speaker 1: in the day. That was another one. Take it from 365 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:09,639 Speaker 1: me who practiced law in the Caribbean. Am still licensed there. 366 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 1: Jail in America ain't great, all right. I'm not pretending 367 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,359 Speaker 1: that you're going to have an amazing time in prison 368 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:20,159 Speaker 1: in the United States, but it's a whole hell of 369 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 1: a lot better than most prisons in a foreign country. 370 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:28,439 Speaker 1: I rode in Bermuda when I was there with carry 371 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:30,600 Speaker 1: with just randomly, and you know, I like to talk 372 00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,959 Speaker 1: to locals and learn about the island. The former director 373 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,439 Speaker 1: of prisons in Bermuda for thirty years, he was an 374 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 1: uber driver. He was not or a taxi driver. They 375 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,480 Speaker 1: don't have ubers there. And I asked him and he 376 00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:43,439 Speaker 1: seemed like a very nice guy, and I said, how 377 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:45,439 Speaker 1: many prisoners do you have? Was a couple of hundred, 378 00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:47,520 Speaker 1: not very many. So what's it like for them? He 379 00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:50,879 Speaker 1: was like horrible? Yeah, no air conditioning, folks, Yeah, start 380 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,840 Speaker 1: with that. You're in a prison in a tropical or 381 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:57,480 Speaker 1: subtropical climate no air conditioning. Yeah. US Virgin Islands, where 382 00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 1: I was a lawyer I'm still licensed as a lawyer, 383 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:03,919 Speaker 1: went into those prisons and I would I mean it 384 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:07,360 Speaker 1: was it was terrifying to think about being in prison there. 385 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 1: So Britney Griner overseas, we know it's not a good 386 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:15,119 Speaker 1: position for her, probably being treated better than the average 387 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 1: prisoner in Russia, I would imagine, given the Russia US 388 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:23,160 Speaker 1: relationship right now. Yeah. Well, so, she penned a letter 389 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:26,720 Speaker 1: to Joe Biden said she had never worked for voted 390 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,680 Speaker 1: for president before she voted for Biden asking for his help. 391 00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:33,280 Speaker 1: And then her w NBA coach stepped in as well 392 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,960 Speaker 1: and said, if this were Lebron James, he'd already be 393 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 1: out of Russian prison. I agree with her, I don't. 394 00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:43,119 Speaker 1: I don't think there's any doubt that Lebron, bigger celebrity, 395 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,440 Speaker 1: would be out. I also would point this out buck. 396 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:49,480 Speaker 1: If Donald Trump were still president of the United States, 397 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 1: Britney Griner wouldn't be in prison anymore in Russia either. 398 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,119 Speaker 1: I think he would have gotten her out maybe a 399 00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:58,679 Speaker 1: sign that she voted for the wrong person in the 400 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:03,000 Speaker 1: twenty twenty presidential election, but also just a further sign 401 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:05,480 Speaker 1: of Joe Biden's incompetence. I know a lot of people 402 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,440 Speaker 1: out there aren't rap fiends or huge rap fans, I 403 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 1: would guess. But asap Rocky was arrested, was it in Sweden? See? Yes, 404 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:19,119 Speaker 1: for assault and Trump basically threatened to trade war with 405 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 1: Sweden to get him back. And I don't think there's 406 00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:26,199 Speaker 1: any doubt that Britney Griner Trump would have done whatever 407 00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 1: was necessary to get her out of that country either. 408 00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:34,880 Speaker 1: I just don't have any doubt. And Biden's incompetence, which 409 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:38,159 Speaker 1: exists everywhere, I don't know when Britney Griner is going 410 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:40,960 Speaker 1: to be back. Yeah, I think she's in a very 411 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:47,040 Speaker 1: tough spot because there's also the additional considerations of the 412 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 1: Russians now wanting leverage, and so you know, you give 413 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:55,199 Speaker 1: them an opening to hold a high profile to have 414 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:59,280 Speaker 1: a basis. I look, obviously they found some residue in 415 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:02,440 Speaker 1: a vape pen. She wasn't it wasn't trafficking. The whole 416 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:05,400 Speaker 1: thing seems completely you know, trumped up in an absurd 417 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:09,040 Speaker 1: but obviously sloppy. You don't want to, you know, don't 418 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:12,159 Speaker 1: take your vape pen you smoke weed into a foreign country. 419 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 1: You know, important safety tip for everybody, don't bring any 420 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 1: illegal substances to any foreign country with you, especially because 421 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:21,679 Speaker 1: you don't know the laws, you don't know the legal system. 422 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,480 Speaker 1: On top of that, but they may be holding her 423 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:28,360 Speaker 1: for leverage with America for at some point, they may 424 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 1: they may want to do some kind of either a 425 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:34,760 Speaker 1: prisoner swap or they may want to do a Okay, 426 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,360 Speaker 1: you know, you better drop those sanctions against a few 427 00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:40,359 Speaker 1: of those oligarchs. I mean, that's the kind of of 428 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,920 Speaker 1: of quick horse trading exactly the Russians are going to 429 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:49,680 Speaker 1: be looking at. And it is indicative of how often 430 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:56,000 Speaker 1: media in sports and also athletes speak out aggressively on 431 00:24:56,119 --> 00:25:00,080 Speaker 1: things that are much less consequential. I haven't seen a 432 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,800 Speaker 1: lot of athletes demanding that Britney Griner be freed, and 433 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,960 Speaker 1: I haven't seen a lot of sports media members who 434 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:11,960 Speaker 1: usually love to argue about anything political related, also making 435 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,920 Speaker 1: those arguments. Now. Early on the report was well, don't 436 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,959 Speaker 1: draw attention to it, because it's more likely it's going 437 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,200 Speaker 1: to get resolved. Now that we're talking months and months 438 00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:27,879 Speaker 1: in that sort of idea of being less aggressive in 439 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 1: drawing attention to it has faded, and still we're not 440 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:34,639 Speaker 1: getting any kind of different result there. And this is 441 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:39,159 Speaker 1: just I think part and parcel again of Joe Biden's incompetence. 442 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:42,040 Speaker 1: And I would ask everybody out there talk to your kids, 443 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:46,399 Speaker 1: if they're going overseas, make it clear to them be 444 00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:52,159 Speaker 1: careful because American protections don't extend everywhere overseas, and you 445 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:54,879 Speaker 1: might find yourself in the middle of something far bigger 446 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:59,119 Speaker 1: than yourself, as Brittney Griner clearly has Buck and Russia 447 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 1: Ukraine War going on in the United States Russia relations 448 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:03,639 Speaker 1: being where they are, and I could maybe add a 449 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,720 Speaker 1: little bit of insight from my previous life here working 450 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:10,920 Speaker 1: for the federal government. If you're relying on US embassy 451 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:16,480 Speaker 1: employees or folks from the consulate abroad to save your bacon, 452 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,160 Speaker 1: you're in a whole lot of trouble. I guess they're 453 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,240 Speaker 1: they're not. You know, they're gonna, They're gonna do what 454 00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:25,040 Speaker 1: they can maybe when they get to it. You do 455 00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:28,359 Speaker 1: not want to be incarcerated in a forward country and 456 00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 1: hoping that the embassy comes through big for you. All 457 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:32,719 Speaker 1: of a sudden, people realize the embassy will show up 458 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:34,840 Speaker 1: and say, you know, your subject to the laws of 459 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,399 Speaker 1: the country you're in right like that. They're there to 460 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,720 Speaker 1: remind me, buddy, you know that, Like you know, we're 461 00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:42,080 Speaker 1: gonna try to ask nicely, but you're kind of screwed. 462 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:43,920 Speaker 1: Like that's what they actually end up doing a lot 463 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:49,280 Speaker 1: of the time. One of your listeners out there, one 464 00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:52,040 Speaker 1: of your fellow listeners, Heather from Louisiana, has been a 465 00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:55,720 Speaker 1: loyal Relief Factor customer for over two years.

And you're starting to see 494 00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:36,440 Speaker 1: a theme here, whether it's the Canadian truckers the Dutch farmers. 495 00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:43,520 Speaker 1: There have been some of these uprisings against tyrannical government 496 00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:47,000 Speaker 1: by the people that keep all the stuff running, like 497 00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:51,720 Speaker 1: food on the table, lights on, and and you know, 498 00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:55,240 Speaker 1: the water running.

But Lorie Lightfoot is the mayor of Chicago. 502 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,760 Speaker 1: I would argue, I mean it used to be Bill 503 00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:10,040 Speaker 1: de Blasio was the worst mayor in the country. I 504 00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:13,440 Speaker 1: was very clear on that, and he was. He was 505 00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:17,800 Speaker 1: pretty amazingly successful at taking what I would argue was 506 00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:19,760 Speaker 1: the greatest city in the world and putting it into 507 00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:24,040 Speaker 1: a real downturn. So congrats to Blasio. You were successful 508 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:27,240 Speaker 1: in ruining a great thing, or at least hurting a 509 00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:28,960 Speaker 1: great thing. I think, well, I think New York's going 510 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:32,920 Speaker 1: to come back. But Lori Lightfoot is right behind Deblasio 511 00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:36,000 Speaker 1: in terms of being an awful mayor. She's really pretty terrible. 512 00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:42,560 Speaker 1: And she's also now lecturing people on civility. Here is 513 00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:48,880 Speaker 1: Lori Lightfoot just calling out the toxic discourse yesterday in Chicago, Illinois. 514 00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:53,400 Speaker 1: The toxicity in our public discourse is a thing that 515 00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:56,239 Speaker 1: I think we should all be concerned about, right And 516 00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:59,360 Speaker 1: it's ironic, obviously that we're having this conversation and what 517 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:03,000 Speaker 1: happened on Independence Day. You know, we're a lot like 518 00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:06,840 Speaker 1: a lot of other countries were their version of Independence 519 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:10,680 Speaker 1: Day is marked with you know, troops and tanks. And 520 00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,800 Speaker 1: now what we do in the United States is we 521 00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:17,680 Speaker 1: come together as a community. Just interesting, Clay, because because 522 00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:22,440 Speaker 1: she's calling for civility in our discourse. This was last 523 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:26,680 Speaker 1: week the mayor of Chicago not sounding so civil you, 524 00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:36,880 Speaker 1: Clarence Thomas. Bleep, Clarence Thomas. Was that was? That was 525 00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,200 Speaker 1: the mayor of Chicago talking about a Supreme Court justice, 526 00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,680 Speaker 1: oh week ago. But you know she wants everyone to 527 00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,560 Speaker 1: be nice to each other when speaking about contentious issues. 528 00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:51,040 Speaker 1: Apparently it's perfect. It's perfect one week ago. F Clarence Thomas. 529 00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:54,360 Speaker 1: Lorri Lightfoot, mayor of Chicago, on the stage in front 530 00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:59,240 Speaker 1: of a massive crowd two days ago, Lori Lightfoot, Hey, 531 00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:04,400 Speaker 1: we need more ability in politics. How about you actually 532 00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:08,200 Speaker 1: practice to some level what you preach. Just a little 533 00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:13,080 Speaker 1: bit of individual responsibility and there will be relatively few 534 00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:17,120 Speaker 1: media out there that will even bother to point out 535 00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:22,400 Speaker 1: this alarming hypocrisy from Lorie Lightfoot. Is she gonna get reelected? 536 00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:27,200 Speaker 1: Surely the city of Chicago can find someone more competent 537 00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:29,360 Speaker 1: than her. I think that there's you know, there's a 538 00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:33,120 Speaker 1: there's a problem that was described me once by a 539 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:36,400 Speaker 1: hedge fund manager that I that I knew. He called 540 00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:39,920 Speaker 1: it repeat surprise. I don't know if that's a real 541 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:41,880 Speaker 1: thing or if it's just something that he made up, 542 00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:43,520 Speaker 1: So I'd have to I'd have to check that out, Clay. 543 00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:46,640 Speaker 1: But it's essentially the when when you know, like a 544 00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:51,120 Speaker 1: stock is going down yea, and all the indicators are 545 00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:53,720 Speaker 1: this stock is going to keep going down. But because 546 00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:57,840 Speaker 1: you had previously convinced yourself, I'm so smart, I know 547 00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:00,760 Speaker 1: the stock is going up. You'll then and the next 548 00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:04,040 Speaker 1: quarter get more, you know, another earnings report, bam, stock 549 00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:06,760 Speaker 1: goes down again. He calls it repeat surprised because you 550 00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:09,120 Speaker 1: should have known this, but you're almost surprised for the 551 00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:12,160 Speaker 1: second time. And it's because you think that you know 552 00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:15,880 Speaker 1: you're right, and you ignore the actual indicators of what's 553 00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:20,320 Speaker 1: going on. COVID policy for democrats perfect, exactly right. COVID 554 00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:24,040 Speaker 1: policy for democrats. And also I would say voting for 555 00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:26,840 Speaker 1: a lot of these democrats. I think that for a 556 00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:29,800 Speaker 1: lot of people, a lot of leftists and democrats, and 557 00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:34,280 Speaker 1: the same thing, they're much more psychologically comfortable with I'm 558 00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:37,880 Speaker 1: going to be right. Just wait, I'm going to be right. 559 00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:42,120 Speaker 1: Ignore everything that they're seeing with Biden, with lightfoot, with 560 00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:46,040 Speaker 1: name a Democrat politician, or policy for that matter. At 561 00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:48,880 Speaker 1: some point I'll be right, and then they're surprised again 562 00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:53,960 Speaker 1: because they'd rather believe than look at what's real. We 563 00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:57,560 Speaker 1: have acknowledged, and I think everyone agrees that Joe Biden 564 00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:01,200 Speaker 1: is a disaster as president. And one way to established 565 00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:06,200 Speaker 1: that you're a disaster as president is by pointing to 566 00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:10,000 Speaker 1: all of the poor decisions you've made and the outcomes 567 00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:14,200 Speaker 1: and the results. Buck what is something that Democrats have 568 00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:18,680 Speaker 1: gotten right? They're obsessed with being on quote, the right 569 00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:22,840 Speaker 1: side of history. That's been the argument ever since Trump 570 00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:26,080 Speaker 1: was elected. Well, we'll be on the right side of history. 571 00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:33,040 Speaker 1: Increasingly Democrats are clearly on the wrong side of history. 572 00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:35,800 Speaker 1: Now you and I both know, because we're big history nerds. 573 00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:38,360 Speaker 1: A lot of times you don't know the right or 574 00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:41,200 Speaker 1: wrong side of history for fifty or a hundred years, 575 00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:45,040 Speaker 1: because that's the way history works. Most of us don't 576 00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:47,840 Speaker 1: know if we're on the right side of history for everything, 577 00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:52,640 Speaker 1: sometimes to well after our lives are over. I'm very 578 00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:54,920 Speaker 1: confident Buck that you and I are on the right 579 00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:58,360 Speaker 1: side of history as it pertains to COVID. We're seeing 580 00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:02,680 Speaker 1: more and more people come on and even in the shift. 581 00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:05,000 Speaker 1: We talked about this shift a little bit ago. We're 582 00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:07,040 Speaker 1: going to talk with Alex Barrenson here in a few minutes. 583 00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:11,320 Speaker 1: But that shift of Joe Biden saying because of COVID, 584 00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:14,520 Speaker 1: kids have fallen behind. They're trying to argue that it 585 00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:16,880 Speaker 1: was COVID. No, no, no, kids were never in danger 586 00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:20,400 Speaker 1: from COVID, it was our policies. That's a pretty significant 587 00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:23,800 Speaker 1: shift that they're trying to make right now. I believe 588 00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:28,279 Speaker 1: that Democrats, who have been arguing against Trump that they 589 00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:32,720 Speaker 1: were on the right side of history, actually elected Joe Biden, 590 00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:36,040 Speaker 1: who is the worst president in a hundred years. There 591 00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:40,400 Speaker 1: by definition, on the wrong side of history about almost everything, 592 00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:45,080 Speaker 1: and they aren't cognitively aware of it because they refused 593 00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:47,000 Speaker 1: to acknowledge the data. I was just talking to a 594 00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:49,400 Speaker 1: family member the other day about how one of the 595 00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:51,840 Speaker 1: one of the ways that people will say, oh, you're so, 596 00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:55,800 Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not talking about the great Asheville mask 597 00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:58,800 Speaker 1: kerfuffle of twenty twenty two and put them out aside 598 00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:02,000 Speaker 1: But why was I so confident that I wasn't being 599 00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:06,080 Speaker 1: politicized in my thinking about COVID. It's because when I 600 00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:08,799 Speaker 1: had the opportunity to meet with President Trump in the 601 00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:12,160 Speaker 1: Oval Office in May of twenty twenty, the thing that 602 00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:14,600 Speaker 1: I was the most vociferous about, the thing that I 603 00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:17,879 Speaker 1: shook the President's hand. We weren't wearing masks. By the way, 604 00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:21,360 Speaker 1: shook the President has said, mister President, please, no more lockdowns. 605 00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:24,000 Speaker 1: We gotta stop this, no more mask mandates. We gotta 606 00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:26,279 Speaker 1: get out of this. And he said, Buckeye agree, We're 607 00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:28,080 Speaker 1: gonna do everything we can. And by the way, he 608 00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:30,279 Speaker 1: did allow the states to reopen, and he could have 609 00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:32,000 Speaker 1: locked everything down till the end of the year if 610 00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,960 Speaker 1: he had wanted to. As we've discussed, it was about 611 00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:37,920 Speaker 1: what was right. It wasn't about, Oh Trump likes this, 612 00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:40,319 Speaker 1: then I like this. Then I went in there gonna 613 00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:42,160 Speaker 1: say my piece no matter what. I didn't care what 614 00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:46,440 Speaker 1: anybody was gonna say. For Democrats, I think the results 615 00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:49,480 Speaker 1: now are so bad that the only thing they can 616 00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:54,560 Speaker 1: come up with is our actual government would collapse if 617 00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:56,759 Speaker 1: the other guy was in powered. You know what I mean. 618 00:35:56,960 --> 00:36:00,040 Speaker 1: It's not about the politics it's about the results for 619 00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:03,720 Speaker 1: you and me. For Democrats, it's about the tribal affiliation 620 00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:08,480 Speaker 1: with democrats and leftists. You have to be willing to 621 00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:11,960 Speaker 1: challenge your own thinking in order to succeed at a 622 00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:15,000 Speaker 1: high level. For me, it was always about the data. 623 00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:17,960 Speaker 1: If you can provide data to show me that my 624 00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:21,960 Speaker 1: belief is factually inaccurate from a data perspective, I'm open 625 00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:25,799 Speaker 1: to it on virtually any subject under the sun. The 626 00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:30,160 Speaker 1: data on COVID, it was so clear, and one of 627 00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:32,520 Speaker 1: the guys who shared that data and got banned from 628 00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:35,719 Speaker 1: Twitter for it was Alex Barrenson Twitter. For the first 629 00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:38,560 Speaker 1: time in my knowledge, Buck has now acknowledged that they 630 00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:40,920 Speaker 1: were wrong. He is back on Twitter. What is the 631 00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:43,080 Speaker 1: story there, We're about to hear it for the first time. 632 00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:50,080 Speaker 1: Alex Barrenson up next to everybody, Sleet Travis and Buck 633 00:36:50,160 --> 00:37:01,360 Speaker 1: Sexton on the front lines of truth one
