We've got Biden 0:00:14.600 --> 0:00:19.040 defending the dissolution of Afghanistan, all the madness we're seeing 0:00:19.079 --> 0:00:22.560 playing out at the Kabble Airport, and just the overall 0:00:22.640 --> 0:00:25.280 decision he's made here to end the war in Afghanistan. 0:00:25.320 --> 0:00:29.800 Plus COVID boosters for everyone. Now exactly as I told 0:00:29.840 --> 0:00:32.839 you it would be the case, and now they're admitting it. 0:00:32.960 --> 0:00:36.080 They are saying the quiet part out loud. Deblasio talks 0:00:36.080 --> 0:00:39.120 about the Key to NYC program, which goes into effect 0:00:39.240 --> 0:00:44.199 this week.

Biden gave 0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:04.280 his speech she came out of I was gonna say retirement. 0:02:04.320 --> 0:02:06.960 That's not quite although that would make sense. He came 0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:10.520 out of vacation to give a speech in which he 0:02:10.600 --> 0:02:14.680 basically said, look, I made the right call. Yeah, maybe 0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:16.840 it happened a little faster than we thought it would, 0:02:16.960 --> 0:02:21.200 but you know tough. And he's saying that he takes 0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:26.480 responsibility insofar as it's other people who are really responsible 0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:30.079 for this. He takes responsibility by pointing the finger at 0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:34.079 the Afghans, by pointing the finger, of course, at Trump. 0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:37.480 We all knew that was going to happen. Here he is, 0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:41.280 first off, just getting the main point across here, which 0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:43.680 is that this is the right calls, as though the 0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:48.360 issue isn't the way the withdrawal has been done. The 0:02:48.400 --> 0:02:51.880 American people, by a solid majority, want the US to 0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:54.920 end its military presence in Afghanistan. Trump wanted to do it, 0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:58.440 Biden is doing it. We all know that. But the 0:02:58.720 --> 0:03:01.679 catastrophe that's on holding on the ground in Afghanistan did 0:03:01.720 --> 0:03:04.160 not have to happen this way. Here he is play 0:03:04.200 --> 0:03:07.799 clip one. After twenty years, I've learned the hard way 0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:12.000 that there was never a good time to withdraw US forces. 0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:15.400 That's why we're still there. We were clear eyed about 0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:19.720 the risks. We planned for every contingency. But I always 0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:22.120 promised the American people that I would be straight with you. 0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:26.320 The truth is this did unfold more quickly than we 0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:31.280 had anticipated. So what's happened Afghanistan political leaders gave up 0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:35.960 and fled the country. The Afghan military collapsed sometime without 0:03:36.000 --> 0:03:39.680 trying to fight. If anything, the developments of the past 0:03:39.720 --> 0:03:44.480 week reinforced that any in US military involvement Afghanistan now 0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:48.480 was the right decision. American troops cannot and should not 0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:51.600 be fighting in the war and dine in a war 0:03:52.200 --> 0:03:56.600 that Afghan forces are not willing to fight for themselves. Now, 0:03:56.680 --> 0:04:01.760 let me just say that's a slander right there. At 0:04:01.880 --> 0:04:05.200 some level, I mean to suggest the Afghans were not 0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:07.720 willing to fight. All The Afghans were taking thousands of 0:04:07.800 --> 0:04:12.360 kia a year and have been for years now. So 0:04:12.560 --> 0:04:15.280 it's to suggest that they aren't willing they weren't willing 0:04:15.320 --> 0:04:17.720 to fight. In that broad and sweeping tone I think 0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:23.000 is unfair to those Afghans who were willing to fight, 0:04:23.360 --> 0:04:27.360 and many of them fought and died. But because Biden 0:04:27.480 --> 0:04:29.400 pulled out in the way that he did, with the 0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:33.120 speed that he did, anybody who saw what was going 0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:36.599 on here would say, well, without air cover. We're done, 0:04:37.400 --> 0:04:39.440 and that was the decision that a lot of them made. 0:04:39.480 --> 0:04:42.080 They decided to just melt away into the population. A 0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:43.360 lot of them are going to be killed, are being 0:04:43.400 --> 0:04:45.800 killed right now as you know, being executed by the Taliban. 0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:49.000 But I think it's interesting that Biden's gonna pointing the finger. Yeah, 0:04:49.000 --> 0:04:51.120 of course, there're a lot of Afghans who who turned 0:04:52.360 --> 0:04:54.119 you know, became turn coats, went to the other side, 0:04:54.120 --> 0:04:56.240 didn't want to fight. But there were some Afghans who 0:04:56.279 --> 0:05:00.640 were willing to fight, and Biden thrown them under the 0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:03.120 bus too right away, just you know, they won't fight 0:05:03.160 --> 0:05:06.040 at all. Okay, I think that's too that's sweeping. Here 0:05:06.080 --> 0:05:09.880 here's actually a buddy of mine, Matt Zeller, who was 0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:15.760 on MSNBC making this point to Brian Williams, who seemed 0:05:16.000 --> 0:05:19.440 just totally dumb struck. I wish we could have seen 0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:21.680 more of Brian William's face, while my buddy Matt, who 0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:23.880 I've known now for gosh, Matt and I go back 0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:28.040 fifteen years. Wait more than that, twenty years, No, fifteen years, 0:05:28.080 --> 0:05:29.919 we go back fifteen years. Anyway. Here he is on 0:05:30.000 --> 0:05:33.240 MSNBC play ten. He owned it, He owned his decision. 0:05:33.320 --> 0:05:35.440 He owned the fact that, as he put it, the 0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:37.640 buck stops with him. I hope he gets to hone 0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:41.120 their deaths too, don't. I feel like I watched a 0:05:41.160 --> 0:05:43.640 different speech than the rest of you guys. I was appault. 0:05:44.200 --> 0:05:46.920 There is such a profound, bold face lie in that speech, 0:05:47.040 --> 0:05:50.080 the idea that we planned for every contingency. I have 0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:54.240 been personally trying to tell this administration since it took office. 0:05:54.480 --> 0:05:56.760 I've been trying to tell our government for years that 0:05:56.880 --> 0:06:00.400 this was coming. We sent them plan after plan on 0:06:00.400 --> 0:06:04.000 how to evacuate these people. Nobody listened to us. They 0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:06.960 didn't plan for the evacuation of our Afghan wartime allies. 0:06:07.200 --> 0:06:09.600 They're trying to conduct it now at the eleventh hour. 0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:11.640 The thing that they were most concerned about was with 0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:15.040 the optics of a chaotic evacuation. Well, they got exactly 0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:17.280 what they were most concerned of by failing to do 0:06:17.320 --> 0:06:19.400 what was right when we could have done it. We 0:06:19.440 --> 0:06:21.960 had all the people in equipment in place to be 0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:29.880 able to save these people months ago, and we did nothing. Yeah. Yeah, 0:06:29.160 --> 0:06:34.640 he laid into it, as you can tell. And this 0:06:34.880 --> 0:06:37.920 is an area that I just think we have to 0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:41.919 focus in on the facts and the truth, and Matt 0:06:41.960 --> 0:06:44.160 there goes he also went to town on the whole 0:06:44.200 --> 0:06:46.840 of the Afghans wouldn't fight thing he takes. So I'll 0:06:46.839 --> 0:06:48.880 tell you why Matt takes that. So personally, he served, 0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:51.000 I know him, he served in the army over there, 0:06:51.360 --> 0:06:55.480 and he credits his interpreter with directly saving his life 0:06:56.040 --> 0:06:58.880 at least once, he says, maybe twice depending on how 0:06:58.920 --> 0:07:01.560 you count it, but at least one. So you know, 0:07:01.600 --> 0:07:04.200 there there are people that I know who feel very 0:07:04.240 --> 0:07:07.040 strongly that, And I don't know, I'm maybe I'm a 0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:09.480 little bit off on my own on this one. Sometimes 0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:11.640 in conservative media, I'm hearing a lot of people who 0:07:11.680 --> 0:07:13.800 disagree with this. But you know, you shake your you 0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:15.600 shake a man's hand, you look him in the eye, 0:07:15.640 --> 0:07:19.320 you say, you know, we're making a pact. I give 0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:23.400 you my word, you keep that. And so that's just 0:07:23.440 --> 0:07:25.559 how I feel. I think it's a point of honor. 0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:28.400 And that's why I see so many of these veterans 0:07:28.400 --> 0:07:31.880 who are coming forward and saying the guys who fought 0:07:31.920 --> 0:07:35.800 with us, who who took up arms alongside us, and 0:07:35.840 --> 0:07:39.000 were promised that they would be they would be brought 0:07:39.040 --> 0:07:42.560 to the US in exchange for their service to this country. 0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:46.840 We owe them, and I think that's I'm sorry. I think, 0:07:46.880 --> 0:07:48.960 like I said, you shake a man's hand, you look 0:07:49.000 --> 0:07:50.800 him in the eye, you say this is the deal. 0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:55.440 You keep your end of the deal. But yeah, clearly, 0:07:55.840 --> 0:08:00.400 the dissolution of the Afghan National Army effectively in the 0:08:00.480 --> 0:08:05.640 last couple of weeks is a total disaster, and so 0:08:05.840 --> 0:08:07.720 Biden has to find some way to make it about 0:08:07.760 --> 0:08:10.080 somebody else. And this is where he starts blaming Trump 0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:12.520 at all play too. When I came in office, I 0:08:12.600 --> 0:08:15.800 inherited a deal to President Trump negotiated with the Taliban. 0:08:16.240 --> 0:08:20.320 Under his agreement, US forces would be out of Afghanistan 0:08:20.400 --> 0:08:24.080 by May one, twenty twenty one, just a little over 0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:27.720 three months after I took office. US forces had already 0:08:28.520 --> 0:08:32.760 drawn down during the Trump administration from roughly fifteen thousand, 0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:36.560 five hundred American forces to two thousand and five hundred 0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:39.960 troops in country, and the Taliban was at its strongest 0:08:40.040 --> 0:08:44.280 militarily since two thousand and one. The choice I had 0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:47.320 to make as your president was either to follow through 0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:50.640 on that agreement or be prepared to go back to 0:08:50.720 --> 0:08:55.200 fighting the Taliban. In the middle of the spring fighting season. 0:08:57.120 --> 0:09:02.120 You know, he's presenting this as though he was handcuffed 0:09:02.120 --> 0:09:05.080 by Trump's decisions before him. But is that the case 0:09:05.120 --> 0:09:07.640 with any other area of Biden's foreign policy? Is that 0:09:07.679 --> 0:09:10.240 ever the case with the president that you're really on 0:09:10.320 --> 0:09:14.040 foreign policy issues locked in? It's not a Senate treaty 0:09:14.160 --> 0:09:16.400 right there. There's not some constitutional issue. Plus, look what 0:09:16.480 --> 0:09:19.800 Biden did on Iran and on climate change these other things. 0:09:20.200 --> 0:09:25.960 Didn't say, oh my British essor, oh bad guy, Orange 0:09:25.960 --> 0:09:29.839 Man bad and here we are. But what else is 0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:31.760 Biden gonna tell you? I'm an idiot, I don't know 0:09:31.760 --> 0:09:34.920 what I'm doing. I mean, that's that would have been truthful. 0:09:34.920 --> 0:09:39.880 But he's not going to to say that things are 0:09:39.880 --> 0:09:42.839 gonna get really ugly right now and after they are. 0:09:42.960 --> 0:09:45.040 It's already happening. You're just not seeing that much of 0:09:45.040 --> 0:09:47.320 it because you know the Taliband that they'll be videos 0:09:47.360 --> 0:09:50.120 released of them saying, oh, we we want to this 0:09:50.200 --> 0:09:53.160 is just straight wartime propaganda. Oh we want to make 0:09:53.160 --> 0:09:55.960 sure that everyone knows this is the Taliban now that 0:09:56.000 --> 0:09:58.120 we're not going to have reprisal killings. We're not going 0:09:58.160 --> 0:10:02.760 to do these things. But they're killing people left and 0:10:02.880 --> 0:10:06.320 right and there are atrocities, and they're already stories about 0:10:07.640 --> 0:10:12.160 Taliban fighters taking you know, forcibly taking quote wives, they're 0:10:12.160 --> 0:10:14.920 sex slaves, they're not wives. And in some cases we're 0:10:14.920 --> 0:10:21.400 talking about Taliban Taliban fighters who are effectively pedophiles. That's 0:10:21.480 --> 0:10:24.400 that's what we're actually talking about here. Who are who 0:10:24.440 --> 0:10:27.800 are pedophiles? I mean that that's what's going on. They're saying, 0:10:27.880 --> 0:10:32.000 you know, wives, but when you're taking girls as wives 0:10:32.000 --> 0:10:34.720 at the ages that are being reported right now. But 0:10:34.800 --> 0:10:38.160 the Taliban's a bunch of sick, fundamentalist weirdos. I mean, 0:10:38.200 --> 0:10:40.280 this is where we are. I mean, they're bad guys. 0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:42.600 They are the bad guys. They have been all along, 0:10:43.000 --> 0:10:47.440 and we're going to see that, unfortunately play out in Afghanistan. 0:10:47.480 --> 0:10:50.000 It is playing out right now, and and the US 0:10:50.120 --> 0:10:53.600 government is reduced to this, you know, Oh wait, hold on, 0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:56.040 you mean you mean that you're not going to put 0:10:56.040 --> 0:11:00.080 your gender pronoun your preferred pronouns in your Taliban and 0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:03.520 Twitter bios. Wait a second, what's going on? We want 0:11:03.520 --> 0:11:06.840 you to be nice, be nice, Taliban. That's what the 0:11:07.080 --> 0:11:10.439 State Department, which is honestly has always been full of. 0:11:10.600 --> 0:11:13.679 Effeckless worthless bureaucrats. I mean, there are some good people 0:11:13.760 --> 0:11:18.200 at State, obviously I've known some, but they're one in ten. 0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:23.000 The State Department is one, you know, is ten percent 0:11:23.920 --> 0:11:27.640 great worthwhile people who just happen to love international relations, 0:11:29.200 --> 0:11:35.120 you know, twenty thirty percent people who actively despise America 0:11:35.200 --> 0:11:37.280 and wish that they had citizenship. I think from some 0:11:37.400 --> 0:11:40.400 other place, you know, the the international community could give 0:11:40.400 --> 0:11:43.160 them citizenship. And so what we had forty percent now 0:11:43.160 --> 0:11:45.080 and then sixty percent people who just show up because 0:11:45.080 --> 0:11:46.760 they just want to get a paycheck from the federal 0:11:46.800 --> 0:11:49.319 government and not do anything. And that's the State Department 0:11:49.360 --> 0:11:52.480 for you. Just you know, it is a vast broth 0:11:52.760 --> 0:11:58.240 of sloth. But here's another guy who's actually an old, 0:11:58.960 --> 0:12:06.360 old associate buddy of mine, mister Ned Price. I haven't 0:12:06.360 --> 0:12:08.680 seen or spoken in Ned in a long time. Matt 0:12:08.960 --> 0:12:10.520 and I were just Matt Zeller and I were just 0:12:10.559 --> 0:12:16.160 texting last night about his appearance on MSNBC. Ned haven't. 0:12:16.480 --> 0:12:18.560 I haven't spoken to Ned since he wrote that op 0:12:18.679 --> 0:12:22.480 ed saying that he was a professional government analyst. And 0:12:22.520 --> 0:12:24.160 then it came out that he had given all this 0:12:24.240 --> 0:12:28.920 money to the Obama campaign of course, or the Hillary campaign. 0:12:28.920 --> 0:12:30.360 I can't even remember that which one it was now, 0:12:30.400 --> 0:12:33.079 it was pretty funny. Anyway, here he is play seven. 0:12:33.240 --> 0:12:35.280 The UN Security Council is should a joint press statement 0:12:35.320 --> 0:12:38.280 earlier today calling for a new government that is united, 0:12:39.040 --> 0:12:44.520 inclusive and representative, including with the full and full and 0:12:44.880 --> 0:12:48.720 meaningful participation of women, and the Council spoke with one 0:12:48.800 --> 0:12:53.520 voice to underscore that Afghanistan must abide by its international obligations, 0:12:53.920 --> 0:12:58.120 including to international humanitarian law, and ensure the safety and 0:12:58.160 --> 0:13:03.680 security of all Afghans in international citizens. Yeah, they're really 0:13:03.720 --> 0:13:06.800 going to be shaking in their bare feet about that one. 0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:08.960 In the Taliban. Oh no, what are we gonna do? 0:13:10.000 --> 0:13:16.120 The State Department spokesperson says, we have to be inclusive 0:13:16.160 --> 0:13:18.720 and representative at our government. I mean, come on, folks, 0:13:20.200 --> 0:13:21.960 we all we all see exactly what this is. We 0:13:21.960 --> 0:13:26.440 all see exactly what's what's happening. But at the end 0:13:26.480 --> 0:13:29.680 of the day, Biden's straight up saying, yep, I did it. 0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:34.640 Whatever happens happens. Sure it looked ugly, Sure it looked haphazard, 0:13:34.679 --> 0:13:38.880 but he's telling you that he wouldn't really change all 0:13:38.920 --> 0:13:41.880 that much. Happened more rapidly than they anticipated that was 0:13:41.920 --> 0:13:44.679 the biggest admission he had Play three. There was no 0:13:44.760 --> 0:13:48.320 agreement protecting our forces after May one. There was no 0:13:48.480 --> 0:13:53.320 status quo of stability without American casualties. After May one, 0:13:53.800 --> 0:13:58.080 there was only core reality if you're either following through 0:13:58.120 --> 0:14:02.040 on the agreement to withdraw ours or escalating the conflict 0:14:02.840 --> 0:14:07.199 and sending thousands more American troops back into combat in Afghanistan, 0:14:08.000 --> 0:14:12.920 lurching into the third decade of conflict. I stand squarely 0:14:12.960 --> 0:14:19.840 behind my decision, stands squarely behind his decision, he says. 0:14:20.000 --> 0:14:23.200 But it's also Trump's fault, and that and the Afghans 0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:26.840 for not fighting. I mean, yeah, the Afghans decided in 0:14:26.960 --> 0:14:31.520 large measure not to continue the fight. But this notion 0:14:31.560 --> 0:14:33.400 that there was never a will to fight, that that 0:14:33.440 --> 0:14:35.000 was what I was reacting to before. And I know 0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:38.120 I talked him to my buddy Madzilla about that, and 0:14:39.560 --> 0:14:41.960 he feels very strongly that there were some at you know, 0:14:42.000 --> 0:14:44.840 we're painting with a very broad brush with the Afghan 0:14:44.920 --> 0:14:48.760 national security forces at this point. But it's it's done, folks. 0:14:48.760 --> 0:14:50.720 It's over. I mean the war, the war's over. I mean, 0:14:51.040 --> 0:14:54.640 we got six thousand troops to essentially keep at the 0:14:54.920 --> 0:14:57.840 airport going as it is, so we can get the 0:14:57.880 --> 0:15:02.560 last of acuees out. But unless the Taliban does something 0:15:03.280 --> 0:15:06.800 really crazy, which they could certainly do, provide safe harbor 0:15:06.920 --> 0:15:10.920 for al Qaido or some other group ISIS whatever, and 0:15:11.160 --> 0:15:14.680 conduct a large scale terror attack, I think we can 0:15:14.680 --> 0:15:17.960 all see that this war, the war in Afghanistan, is done. 0:15:18.920 --> 0:15:21.880 But you know how Plato says, only the dead have 0:15:21.960 --> 0:15:26.480 seen the end of war. Afghanistan hasn't seen the end 0:15:26.520 --> 0:15:30.400 of war, that's for sure. I wish I could say otherwise. 0:15:30.440 --> 0:15:33.400 But what's going to happen there now? There will be 0:15:33.440 --> 0:15:43.040 a cleansing and ethnic cleansing, a gender an oppression mechanism 0:15:43.160 --> 0:15:47.520 or oppression machinery used here, and they'll also go after Hazaras, 0:15:47.520 --> 0:15:49.800 who are an ethnic minority there, and others. But the 0:15:50.720 --> 0:15:54.200 kind of brutality that will be on display is going 0:15:54.280 --> 0:15:57.520 to turn the world's stomach for a long time to come. 0:15:57.560 --> 0:16:00.400 But this is the decision that has been made, and 0:16:00.480 --> 0:16:03.760 at least we are ending an endless war, that is true, 0:16:04.840 --> 0:16:06.560 although I do worry that we could end up being 0:16:06.560 --> 0:16:09.480 brought back into it at some point in the future, 0:16:09.520 --> 0:16:12.320 which would really I mean, just imagine that possibility. Is 0:16:12.360 --> 0:16:15.400 to imagine that that could happen. We're gonna talk about 0:16:15.440 --> 0:16:19.120 COVID lockdowns and shots and boosters and all that in 0:16:19.200 --> 0:16:22.880 a second, but first, you know, I'm on locals I 0:16:22.920 --> 0:16:25.000 want to introduce you to locals dot com. You should 0:16:25.000 --> 0:16:28.520 know about this because social media platforms would simply not 0:16:28.640 --> 0:16:30.920 exist if not for the content creators that we all 0:16:31.000 --> 0:16:34.520 love and support. Well, these platforms would be empty without 0:16:34.560 --> 0:16:37.720 that great content. But the platforms often, as you know, 0:16:37.880 --> 0:16:42.320 have ultimate control over creators content and what the audience sees. 0:16:42.640 --> 0:16:45.960 Locals dot com thinks this is crazy, so they've built 0:16:46.000 --> 0:16:49.040 the first social media platform that champions the true heroes 0:16:49.120 --> 0:16:52.720 of social media, the creators. It's great because the creators 0:16:52.760 --> 0:16:56.320 have total ownership and control over their content. Locals dot 0:16:56.320 --> 0:16:59.560 com is a platform that doesn't subject everyone to algorithms, 0:17:00.120 --> 0:17:03.640 put the platform's needs before the audience's desires. They put 0:17:03.680 --> 0:17:06.399 the power in the people's hands with no censorship. There 0:17:06.400 --> 0:17:08.760 are so many wonderful creators on locals dot com. I 0:17:08.840 --> 0:17:11.600 encourage you to visit and join. I just started my 0:17:11.680 --> 0:17:14.720 community team Buck. That's right, I'm posting my content with 0:17:14.880 --> 0:17:19.240 no censorship. Supporters and fans can post two being interactive 0:17:19.240 --> 0:17:22.320 with the creator. Be sure and visit locals dot com. 0:17:22.359 --> 0:17:24.400 I'm excited for you to visit me at buck Sexton 0:17:24.560 --> 0:17:28.000 dot locals dot com for some great content again, go now, 0:17:28.040 --> 0:17:30.360 please sign up today, become a member, become a supporter. 0:17:31.000 --> 0:17:33.600 Locals dot com is the website, but just go to 0:17:33.640 --> 0:17:37.320 this site, buck Sexton dot locals dot com. That's buck 0:17:37.359 --> 0:17:45.080 Sexton dot locals dot com. De Blasio is an odious 0:17:45.119 --> 0:17:49.000 moron mayor of New York, but he is going even 0:17:49.040 --> 0:17:52.159 beyond my wildest dreams to try to ruin New York City. 0:17:53.359 --> 0:17:56.119 It's stunning to watch this happen. But here he is 0:17:56.160 --> 0:17:59.719 announcing that now we've got these vacs passports in effect, 0:17:59.720 --> 0:18:03.000 and I'm Erica's largest city plate twelve. This is absolutely 0:18:03.040 --> 0:18:08.520 strategic to say to people to fully participate in life 0:18:08.560 --> 0:18:11.160 of the city and to love and enjoy this city, 0:18:11.359 --> 0:18:14.840 go get vaccinated. We believe it's going to make a 0:18:14.960 --> 0:18:20.000 huge impact. We're obviously seeing a real uptick in vaccinations already. 0:18:20.200 --> 0:18:23.639 We made a decision weeks and weeks ago. The whole 0:18:23.640 --> 0:18:28.120 ball game is vaccination. And once you make that kind 0:18:28.119 --> 0:18:31.000 of profound strategic decision, you throw everything you got at it. 0:18:31.400 --> 0:18:34.080 We are not interested in half measures. Were interested in vaccination. 0:18:34.840 --> 0:18:38.840 So making vaccination something that allows you to enjoy all 0:18:38.880 --> 0:18:44.760 this good in life, straight up vACC mandate. That's what 0:18:44.800 --> 0:18:47.640 this is. And I told you. And by the way, 0:18:47.720 --> 0:18:49.520 I got messages from some of your team and remember 0:18:49.520 --> 0:18:52.320 always some of your thoughts at Facebook dot com, slash 0:18:52.320 --> 0:18:55.080 buck Sexton or a team buck at iHeartMedia dot com. 0:18:55.080 --> 0:18:57.360 I got some of your messages. People were upset when 0:18:57.400 --> 0:19:00.520 I when I told them that I got the vaccine, 0:19:00.640 --> 0:19:03.520 and to that I just say, yeah, I held out 0:19:04.160 --> 0:19:08.760 as long as I possibly realistically could in a sea 0:19:08.960 --> 0:19:13.240 of blue lunacy. But what am I gonna do? Folks? 0:19:13.960 --> 0:19:16.800 You know, are you gonna fly or are you gonna 0:19:16.840 --> 0:19:19.560 put on a mask? Well you could say you're gonna 0:19:19.560 --> 0:19:21.760 be an anti masker, but they're gonna kick your butt 0:19:21.800 --> 0:19:24.280 off the plane and bar you from ever flying that 0:19:24.320 --> 0:19:29.720 airline again. They understand these mechanisms of control. This is 0:19:29.720 --> 0:19:32.760 why I've said, use what you can, do what you 0:19:32.800 --> 0:19:38.280 can where you can, but don't suffer extreme consequences on 0:19:38.320 --> 0:19:41.240 your own because you're not going to actually be able 0:19:41.240 --> 0:19:43.439 to affect the change that you want. It's not worth it. 0:19:44.720 --> 0:19:48.159 So yeah, ask a ask a storekeeper or you know, 0:19:48.200 --> 0:19:51.359 a clerk or whatever, or make them ask you to 0:19:51.400 --> 0:19:54.440 put your mask on. But don't, you know, go sit 0:19:54.560 --> 0:19:58.959 on your Jet Blue flight or even worse, your Spirit 0:19:58.960 --> 0:20:02.080 Airlines flight and sit down and say I'm not masking 0:20:02.119 --> 0:20:04.760 because masking is dumb. You'd be right, you'd be correct. 0:20:05.200 --> 0:20:08.400 But they will call security, they will drag you off, 0:20:08.440 --> 0:20:10.720 and they will bar you from flying that airline forever. 0:20:10.760 --> 0:20:13.840 And I'm starting to think that they may. I wonder 0:20:13.880 --> 0:20:16.439 if they already do this. You think the airlines wouldn't 0:20:16.440 --> 0:20:18.880 share that data. It's almost like a blacklist for flying, right, 0:20:18.960 --> 0:20:23.600 not allowed to fly. So at some point the force 0:20:23.640 --> 0:20:27.520 of the state becomes too much. They are forcing compliance. 0:20:27.600 --> 0:20:29.280 That's what they're doing in New York. They're they're doing 0:20:29.280 --> 0:20:34.000 it now in LA and San Francisco, in New Orleans. So, yeah, 0:20:34.040 --> 0:20:37.720 they made me make a choice. Go to your I've 0:20:37.760 --> 0:20:39.920 only got two brothers, okay, go to one of my 0:20:40.320 --> 0:20:46.320 brother's weddings, or refuse to get the shot. That was 0:20:46.359 --> 0:20:48.720 the choice. That was it what I was I gonna do. 0:20:48.720 --> 0:20:50.639 I was gonna show up and argue with the wedding 0:20:50.720 --> 0:20:54.760 venue people. They're gonna have security posted at the entrance 0:20:54.840 --> 0:20:58.600 to the venue checking. That's what they've told us. Now, 0:20:58.600 --> 0:21:00.439 you could say, oh, but they won't really do that. 0:21:01.000 --> 0:21:02.800 It's my brother's wedding day. Do you think I want 0:21:02.800 --> 0:21:06.080 to roll the dice on that. But so this is 0:21:06.119 --> 0:21:09.000 what we're facing now. The things they said they wouldn't do, 0:21:09.400 --> 0:21:13.520 they're doing. And yeah, I agree. I am furious that 0:21:13.720 --> 0:21:16.160 I had to get a shot over this. I am 0:21:16.240 --> 0:21:18.760 furious that I'm back because there was no need for 0:21:18.800 --> 0:21:20.840 me to get vaccinated. I have natural immunity. You it 0:21:20.880 --> 0:21:25.000 was completely dumb, but they found a way. You know, 0:21:25.080 --> 0:21:27.840 I live in New York City. It was the same 0:21:27.880 --> 0:21:29.879 thing when I eventually started wearing a mask in the 0:21:29.920 --> 0:21:31.760 elevators in my building as well. I don't want to 0:21:31.760 --> 0:21:33.760 get evicted over this. I mean, I've made my point. 0:21:33.840 --> 0:21:38.200 This is dumb, but there are too many. Too many 0:21:38.280 --> 0:21:41.959 people out there are cowards. Too many people out there 0:21:42.000 --> 0:21:44.160 won't do they First of all, they can't think for themselves, 0:21:44.200 --> 0:21:47.120 they won't think for themselves, and they refuse to take 0:21:47.160 --> 0:21:51.520 even minimal action like stop wearing masks outside. I mean 0:21:51.600 --> 0:21:53.480 that's that we're still in that phase with a lot 0:21:53.480 --> 0:21:56.200 of people in New York. There's a mask mandate back 0:21:56.200 --> 0:21:58.840 in my building I was supposed to be wearing. I 0:21:58.880 --> 0:22:02.080 don't again, because there they can yell at me or 0:22:02.119 --> 0:22:05.040 I can get an angry email from a management, but 0:22:05.080 --> 0:22:07.440 I'm not going to be arrested. Right, there's a difference. 0:22:08.400 --> 0:22:11.760 You've got to do what you can do that's and 0:22:11.800 --> 0:22:16.600 take commensur at punishment or consequences. But don't just become 0:22:16.640 --> 0:22:20.160 a don't become a mask martyr. It's just not gonna 0:22:20.240 --> 0:22:24.040 end up working out working out for any of us 0:22:24.320 --> 0:22:26.800 on an individual basis at least. And you could say, well, Buck, 0:22:26.800 --> 0:22:28.720 we need mass non compliance is not what you say, 0:22:28.720 --> 0:22:32.040 And I say, yeah, but non comply where you can, right. 0:22:32.160 --> 0:22:33.720 I wish I could say we could have mass non 0:22:33.760 --> 0:22:35.800 compliance about taxes. But if you're the first one to 0:22:35.840 --> 0:22:37.280 do that, you're just gonna go to federal prison and 0:22:37.320 --> 0:22:39.640 no one's gonna remember your whole mass non compliance thing. 0:22:40.760 --> 0:22:43.679 So that's why organization is important, and the narrative overall 0:22:43.800 --> 0:22:47.080 is important too. And you see now they're saying there's 0:22:47.080 --> 0:22:51.520 gonna be booster shots already. They're they're recommending booster shots 0:22:52.400 --> 0:22:58.480 for everyone in America eight months after their first booster 0:22:58.600 --> 0:23:02.840 shot experience. That's what they're saying, they're recommending it, and 0:23:03.600 --> 0:23:06.360 you know that the recommendation is going to turn into 0:23:06.400 --> 0:23:09.840 a mandate, because that's what happens every time. That's the situation. 0:23:10.800 --> 0:23:13.800
