WEBVTT - Buck Brief - RFK Endorses Trump HUGE Step

0:00:11.697 --> 0:00:14.977
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcastle make sure

0:00:15.017 --> 0:00:17.977
<v Speaker 1>you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeartRadio app or

0:00:18.017 --> 0:00:19.977
<v Speaker 1>wherever you get your podcasts.

0:00:20.617 --> 0:00:24.137
<v Speaker 2>Welcome to the Buck Brief. RFK Junior officially.

0:00:23.897 --> 0:00:29.977
<v Speaker 1>Endorses Donald Trump. So this is a big move an

0:00:29.977 --> 0:00:32.577
<v Speaker 1>election that's going to be as tight as I think

0:00:32.617 --> 0:00:35.977
<v Speaker 1>the Harris Trump election is likely to end up being.

0:00:37.057 --> 0:00:37.897
<v Speaker 2>This makes.

0:00:39.697 --> 0:00:41.937
<v Speaker 1>Me feel a little bit stronger about Trump's position. I

0:00:41.977 --> 0:00:45.057
<v Speaker 1>still feel very good overall that Trump will end up winning.

0:00:45.257 --> 0:00:51.337
<v Speaker 1>And here, oh well, there she is.

0:00:51.457 --> 0:00:51.817
<v Speaker 2>Here we go.

0:00:51.857 --> 0:00:53.777
<v Speaker 1>We got a little ginger appearance because it's a fun

0:00:53.817 --> 0:00:56.537
<v Speaker 1>time in the podcast. Eitherre she goes, She's very cute,

0:00:56.577 --> 0:01:01.177
<v Speaker 1>she's a very pretty girl. Okay later, she's an Australian labradoodle.

0:01:01.697 --> 0:01:03.337
<v Speaker 1>She came running into the studio as soon as I

0:01:03.337 --> 0:01:08.617
<v Speaker 1>started recording. Anyway, RFK Junior's endorsement is a good thing

0:01:09.217 --> 0:01:12.417
<v Speaker 1>for Trump, that's for sure. But I want to assess

0:01:12.497 --> 0:01:14.057
<v Speaker 1>it a little bit. I think there's a little more

0:01:14.097 --> 0:01:16.657
<v Speaker 1>to it than what we've seen so far. First of all,

0:01:16.657 --> 0:01:21.977
<v Speaker 1>his speech on the Democrat media being completely dishonest and

0:01:23.457 --> 0:01:28.057
<v Speaker 1>big corporations, big pharma, all of that being a huge problem.

0:01:28.257 --> 0:01:29.297
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I agree.

0:01:29.377 --> 0:01:33.777
<v Speaker 1>I thought that his speech laying out the problems of

0:01:33.937 --> 0:01:39.217
<v Speaker 1>America right now was powerful and very accurate, very incisive.

0:01:40.137 --> 0:01:41.537
<v Speaker 1>So that was the best part of it for me.

0:01:42.377 --> 0:01:46.377
<v Speaker 1>I also think that when you have a lifelong Democrat

0:01:46.697 --> 0:01:51.897
<v Speaker 1>who comes from a Democrat dynasty and is somebody who

0:01:52.377 --> 0:01:57.217
<v Speaker 1>you would assume would carry that torch forever, when he

0:01:57.417 --> 0:02:02.177
<v Speaker 1>is making a decision to switch and to support a Republican,

0:02:02.217 --> 0:02:05.257
<v Speaker 1>in this case, Donald Trump, that seems noteworthy to me.

0:02:05.657 --> 0:02:09.457
<v Speaker 1>It's especially noteworthy because Trump is supposed to be this

0:02:09.657 --> 0:02:15.257
<v Speaker 1>unique evil, this monster, this threat to the constitution and

0:02:15.297 --> 0:02:18.817
<v Speaker 1>our democracy and all this other stuff. But notice that

0:02:18.857 --> 0:02:22.937
<v Speaker 1>when somebody who is a third party candidate and not

0:02:23.257 --> 0:02:27.457
<v Speaker 1>a Republican party guy, and who's able to get five

0:02:27.497 --> 0:02:30.337
<v Speaker 1>to ten percent of the vote depending when somebody in

0:02:30.417 --> 0:02:35.217
<v Speaker 1>that situation goes for Donald Trump, doesn't it poke a

0:02:35.257 --> 0:02:38.657
<v Speaker 1>pretty big hole in the Trump is the biggest threat

0:02:38.697 --> 0:02:42.617
<v Speaker 1>imaginable to our republic or to our democracy or whatever

0:02:42.657 --> 0:02:45.537
<v Speaker 1>they want to say. You know, it's not just somebody

0:02:45.537 --> 0:02:47.537
<v Speaker 1>who comes from within the Democrat ranks or within the

0:02:47.577 --> 0:02:51.177
<v Speaker 1>Republican ranks and stays on their team. The only person

0:02:51.217 --> 0:02:57.057
<v Speaker 1>who can say I've had a major crossover endorsement Donald Trump.

0:02:57.777 --> 0:03:02.297
<v Speaker 1>There's a major Republican crossover endorsement of the same scale

0:03:02.337 --> 0:03:06.057
<v Speaker 1>as an RFK junior. People say, oh, what about in

0:03:06.137 --> 0:03:07.017
<v Speaker 1>the name of some Republican.

0:03:07.057 --> 0:03:07.777
<v Speaker 2>Nobody cares about.

0:03:07.777 --> 0:03:10.777
<v Speaker 1>No one's thought about in twenty years, and certainly not

0:03:10.817 --> 0:03:12.657
<v Speaker 1>a Republican who has ten percent of the vote that

0:03:12.657 --> 0:03:14.897
<v Speaker 1>he can drop on or five percent or whatever it is.

0:03:15.377 --> 0:03:19.377
<v Speaker 1>So I do think it's significant in that sense. Is

0:03:19.417 --> 0:03:24.777
<v Speaker 1>it likely to change the trajectory of the election. Well,

0:03:24.897 --> 0:03:27.137
<v Speaker 1>let's talk about that here in just a second. You know,

0:03:27.177 --> 0:03:28.537
<v Speaker 1>I want to keep you informed. One of the ways

0:03:28.537 --> 0:03:30.257

<v Speaker 1>The Urgent Message dot Com Again, the Urgent Message dot

0:04:30.097 --> 0:04:33.937
<v Speaker 1>Com is the website. Do I think that this will

0:04:34.937 --> 0:04:40.577
<v Speaker 1>the RFK endorsement? Will it be able to change the

0:04:40.937 --> 0:04:44.897
<v Speaker 1>battlefield for Trump politically? It's certainly going to help. It

0:04:45.017 --> 0:04:47.257
<v Speaker 1>was going to hurt him. And some of you might

0:04:47.297 --> 0:04:50.497
<v Speaker 1>have noticed that I was a little bit hostile to

0:04:50.697 --> 0:04:55.617
<v Speaker 1>RFK staying in the race up to this point, and yeah,

0:04:55.617 --> 0:04:57.337
<v Speaker 1>that's because I want Trump to win and he was

0:04:57.457 --> 0:05:00.417
<v Speaker 1>hurting Trump and people who disagree with me on that. Well,

0:05:00.537 --> 0:05:03.817
<v Speaker 1>RFK Junior himself realized, no, I'm hurting Trump by staying in.

0:05:04.257 --> 0:05:06.897
<v Speaker 1>He was not drawing more Democrat voters. The Democrats are

0:05:07.537 --> 0:05:13.577
<v Speaker 1>far more likely to just be party androids. You know

0:05:13.617 --> 0:05:17.657
<v Speaker 1>they're they're like a robot program. They just vote Democrat,

0:05:17.777 --> 0:05:21.377
<v Speaker 1>vote Democrat. So it was not surprising at all when

0:05:21.417 --> 0:05:23.937
<v Speaker 1>RFK Junior came out, not surprising to me at least

0:05:23.977 --> 0:05:27.297
<v Speaker 1>and said, I realize I'm taking more votes from Trump

0:05:27.377 --> 0:05:30.577
<v Speaker 1>and that's not a good idea. But I'm gonna tell

0:05:30.577 --> 0:05:35.377
<v Speaker 1>you there's another part of this for me, and this

0:05:35.537 --> 0:05:39.377
<v Speaker 1>is perhaps where people are gonna disagree with me a bit.

0:05:40.137 --> 0:05:41.777
<v Speaker 1>I could I thought he could have given a much

0:05:41.817 --> 0:05:46.177
<v Speaker 1>more full throated endorsement. I thought he could have seemed

0:05:46.177 --> 0:05:49.417
<v Speaker 1>a little more enthusiastic about supporting Trump.

0:05:49.457 --> 0:05:50.417
<v Speaker 2>It struck me as.

0:05:50.337 --> 0:05:54.737
<v Speaker 1>First off, he said that he's staying in in case

0:05:54.777 --> 0:05:57.377
<v Speaker 1>there's a contingent election and then maybe he could still win,

0:05:57.537 --> 0:06:00.857
<v Speaker 1>like he could still be president. That just strikes me

0:06:00.897 --> 0:06:03.017
<v Speaker 1>as crazy person talk. It's gonna be honest with you,

0:06:03.057 --> 0:06:06.297
<v Speaker 1>it strikes me as weird. I mean, yeah, I know

0:06:06.377 --> 0:06:10.697
<v Speaker 1>theoretically that's possible, but you know, you could also say,

0:06:10.777 --> 0:06:12.817
<v Speaker 1>like one of these candidates has a stroke, and you

0:06:12.857 --> 0:06:13.217
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean.

0:06:13.257 --> 0:06:13.937
<v Speaker 2>It was a little weird.

0:06:14.017 --> 0:06:16.017
<v Speaker 1>It was a weird thing to say, Okay, And I

0:06:16.137 --> 0:06:18.897
<v Speaker 1>understand for the RFK Junior fans out there and there's

0:06:18.897 --> 0:06:19.537
<v Speaker 1>some very big fans.

0:06:19.577 --> 0:06:21.657
<v Speaker 2>They'll say, oh, well, what does it matter, he's endorsed Trump.

0:06:22.417 --> 0:06:24.657
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but you know, he kind of endorsed him cause

0:06:24.657 --> 0:06:26.777
<v Speaker 1>he's like, well Trump is he really endorsed him as

0:06:26.777 --> 0:06:30.017
<v Speaker 1>the lesser of two evils. In my mind, I mean,

0:06:30.337 --> 0:06:32.657
<v Speaker 1>that's maybe too strong. I think he sees some good

0:06:32.857 --> 0:06:34.537
<v Speaker 1>in what Trump is trying to do and accomplish, but

0:06:35.737 --> 0:06:37.857
<v Speaker 1>there was a lack of enthusiasm if you're being honest

0:06:37.857 --> 0:06:41.977
<v Speaker 1>about this, and there was a sense with RFK Junior

0:06:42.017 --> 0:06:45.817
<v Speaker 1>I think that he still wants to be in the

0:06:45.817 --> 0:06:49.257
<v Speaker 1>mix for the big job that I think is not

0:06:49.417 --> 0:06:54.857
<v Speaker 1>really all that helpful. I felt very much like it

0:06:54.937 --> 0:06:58.217
<v Speaker 1>was a little the way this was structured was a

0:06:58.217 --> 0:07:01.217
<v Speaker 1>little self serving. People are gonna say, oh, he's done

0:07:01.217 --> 0:07:03.257
<v Speaker 1>this great thing because he's gone behind tre He has

0:07:03.257 --> 0:07:06.137
<v Speaker 1>done the right thing. So I praise him in so

0:07:06.297 --> 0:07:09.057
<v Speaker 1>far as he's made the right move. I also think

0:07:10.337 --> 0:07:12.737
<v Speaker 1>there was nothing in it for him to stay in

0:07:13.537 --> 0:07:18.337
<v Speaker 1>except possibly be a spoiler and let Kamala Harris win.

0:07:18.417 --> 0:07:21.017
<v Speaker 1>And that's I mean, any sane person should know that

0:07:21.017 --> 0:07:24.697
<v Speaker 1>that's a horrible, horrible thing for the country. So he

0:07:24.777 --> 0:07:26.897
<v Speaker 1>did the right thing. I want to see if he

0:07:26.937 --> 0:07:30.257
<v Speaker 1>goes out and really now pushes for Trump or if

0:07:30.257 --> 0:07:32.257
<v Speaker 1>he just because he said this thing too. If he's

0:07:32.257 --> 0:07:36.417
<v Speaker 1>staying on the ballot in Democrat and Republican states but

0:07:36.537 --> 0:07:39.257
<v Speaker 1>in swing states he wants to, he'll be off the ballot,

0:07:40.177 --> 0:07:43.697
<v Speaker 1>and there's this why stay on the ballot and the

0:07:43.697 --> 0:07:46.257
<v Speaker 1>other ones like what's the you know, it was a

0:07:46.257 --> 0:07:48.697
<v Speaker 1>little strange to me, and I'm sure people are going

0:07:48.737 --> 0:07:50.537
<v Speaker 1>to say that there's all these answers to this, but

0:07:51.377 --> 0:07:53.897
<v Speaker 1>I understand to run in politics at this level, you

0:07:53.977 --> 0:07:56.577
<v Speaker 1>have to have a more than just a healthy ego

0:07:57.537 --> 0:08:02.377
<v Speaker 1>just saying and to me, RFK Junior crossed over into

0:08:02.377 --> 0:08:06.737
<v Speaker 1>this territory during the endorsement of Trump that it was

0:08:06.817 --> 0:08:10.737
<v Speaker 1>still really all just about RFK Junior and not really

0:08:11.097 --> 0:08:14.857
<v Speaker 1>about an endorsement of Donald Trump. He at one point

0:08:14.897 --> 0:08:17.257
<v Speaker 1>everybody was writing and I watched it live. I watched

0:08:17.297 --> 0:08:20.137
<v Speaker 1>the whole thing live. At one point everybody was writing, oh,

0:08:20.137 --> 0:08:23.057
<v Speaker 1>he's endorsed Trump, and I was like, I mean, I know,

0:08:23.137 --> 0:08:25.297
<v Speaker 1>I say I heard him say it, but there was

0:08:25.337 --> 0:08:28.017
<v Speaker 1>not It wasn't like he built to some moment he

0:08:28.097 --> 0:08:30.857
<v Speaker 1>was like, that's why, you know, I think Trump is

0:08:30.897 --> 0:08:33.297
<v Speaker 1>the guy and I'm so enthused. You know, it was like, well,

0:08:33.297 --> 0:08:35.217
<v Speaker 1>you know, Commin was horrible. So yeah, obviously I'm going

0:08:35.257 --> 0:08:37.457
<v Speaker 1>to be supporting Trump, and I think people should do

0:08:37.497 --> 0:08:37.817
<v Speaker 1>that too.

0:08:38.937 --> 0:08:40.497
<v Speaker 2>Am I the only one who saw it this way?

0:08:40.577 --> 0:08:43.777
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, And I'm telling you, I'm a Trump guy,

0:08:43.817 --> 0:08:47.457
<v Speaker 1>so I'm sensitive to Hey, Okay, I'm glad that you're

0:08:47.457 --> 0:08:49.537
<v Speaker 1>trying to help, but you know, you could have helped

0:08:49.537 --> 0:08:52.577
<v Speaker 1>a little more. I think, and I also believe that

0:08:52.617 --> 0:08:58.297
<v Speaker 1>some of rfk's followed RFK juniors followers might go Democrat.

0:08:58.337 --> 0:09:00.617
<v Speaker 1>Anyway he might have got he might have picked up

0:09:00.617 --> 0:09:05.137
<v Speaker 1>some Trump haters along line, so that that doesn't change,

0:09:05.817 --> 0:09:08.097
<v Speaker 1>you know, his calculation about going for Trump. It just

0:09:08.137 --> 0:09:10.337
<v Speaker 1>means that I don't know how much will be a

0:09:10.377 --> 0:09:12.817
<v Speaker 1>bump for Trump. Look, it's a good thing. RFKA Junior

0:09:12.817 --> 0:09:18.097
<v Speaker 1>made the right decision. And it seems like he's not

0:09:18.217 --> 0:09:21.337
<v Speaker 1>quite a Republican but kind of Republican adjacent these days

0:09:21.497 --> 0:09:24.097
<v Speaker 1>in some ways, so we'll take it. I mean, I

0:09:24.097 --> 0:09:25.737
<v Speaker 1>think of someone like Tulsey Gabbart, I mean, she doesn't

0:09:25.777 --> 0:09:27.217
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if she even says he's a Republican

0:09:27.217 --> 0:09:30.817
<v Speaker 1>out she's basically a Republican. So if he's on that pathway, great,

0:09:30.937 --> 0:09:32.497
<v Speaker 1>you know, we want converts.

0:09:33.417 --> 0:09:36.537
<v Speaker 2>But is he a convert? Is he still a liberal

0:09:36.537 --> 0:09:39.817
<v Speaker 2>on some things that are important? You know?

0:09:40.137 --> 0:09:44.337
<v Speaker 1>I just and I'm somebody who finds COVID to be

0:09:45.537 --> 0:09:48.657
<v Speaker 1>really the most important governance issue of the last really

0:09:48.737 --> 0:09:51.857
<v Speaker 1>my whole life, honestly, and the failures of the government

0:09:51.937 --> 0:09:53.937
<v Speaker 1>and a lie is the government told on COVID and

0:09:53.977 --> 0:09:58.177
<v Speaker 1>the cowardice of whether it's the CDC or Big Farmer

0:09:58.297 --> 0:10:00.537
<v Speaker 1>or the media or the Democrat Party and even a

0:10:00.537 --> 0:10:03.057
<v Speaker 1>lot of the Republican Party. I'll never forgive and I'll

0:10:03.057 --> 0:10:05.657
<v Speaker 1>never forget that. And RFK Junior was certainly good on

0:10:05.697 --> 0:10:10.017
<v Speaker 1>that issue and understand the outrage of the forced vaccinate.

0:10:10.617 --> 0:10:13.977
<v Speaker 2>So I'm with him on all of that. But what

0:10:14.017 --> 0:10:16.097
<v Speaker 2>else am I with him on? Or what else does

0:10:16.137 --> 0:10:19.217
<v Speaker 2>he I don't really know.

0:10:19.537 --> 0:10:21.737
<v Speaker 1>And I think it's not that I don't read about

0:10:21.737 --> 0:10:23.937
<v Speaker 1>everything that's being said and done in politics. It's that,

0:10:24.497 --> 0:10:26.457
<v Speaker 1>you know, I'm not sure RFK Junior really knows him.

0:10:26.497 --> 0:10:28.737
<v Speaker 1>He wants the war in Ukraine to end, good, me too.

0:10:29.657 --> 0:10:31.897
<v Speaker 1>There's some crossover. I think he realizes the wide open

0:10:31.937 --> 0:10:34.577
<v Speaker 1>border is bad good I mean he's pro choice, very

0:10:34.617 --> 0:10:36.977
<v Speaker 1>pro choice, a vowedly pro choice all nine months of

0:10:36.977 --> 0:10:37.577
<v Speaker 1>her pregnancy.

0:10:37.657 --> 0:10:41.817
<v Speaker 2>So there's that. I mean, you know, that's not good.

0:10:43.137 --> 0:10:48.177
<v Speaker 1>But anyway, overall, very happy that he endorsed and it

0:10:48.257 --> 0:10:50.177
<v Speaker 1>was the right move. And you know, welcome to the

0:10:50.177 --> 0:10:52.337
<v Speaker 1>party or RFK Junior. Well, I guess he's not the

0:10:52.377 --> 0:10:54.577
<v Speaker 1>Republican Party, but I meant that in my like John

0:10:54.657 --> 0:10:58.417
<v Speaker 1>McClain die hardway like, welcome to the party. Pal switching

0:10:58.457 --> 0:11:00.457
<v Speaker 1>gears here for a second, events in Israel or fluid

0:11:00.617 --> 0:11:03.017
<v Speaker 1>Israeli citizens continue to be on hire alert more than

0:11:03.017 --> 0:11:05.657
<v Speaker 1>normal for a possible attack from forces backed by Iran.

0:11:06.017 --> 0:11:08.377
<v Speaker 1>There's a good reason to be prepared for what comes next.

0:11:08.737 --> 0:11:11.017
<v Speaker 1>The event of an attack, for one hot force or another,

0:11:11.177 --> 0:11:13.577
<v Speaker 1>Israelis across the country could be forced to spend days

0:11:13.617 --> 0:11:17.057
<v Speaker 1>in bomb shelters. Well, how do you keep these bomb

0:11:17.097 --> 0:11:20.777
<v Speaker 1>shelters stocked with water and food and other necessary survival items.

0:11:20.937 --> 0:11:23.377
<v Speaker 1>This is where the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews

0:11:23.417 --> 0:11:26.417
<v Speaker 1>is most helpful. The Fellowship has initiated a project to

0:11:26.417 --> 0:11:29.737
<v Speaker 1>provide people with access to bomb shelters with emergency food boxes.

0:11:30.057 --> 0:11:32.137
<v Speaker 1>Ten thousand of these food boxes have been delivered. And

0:11:32.177 --> 0:11:35.097
<v Speaker 1>they're preparing to deliver thousands more. If you can support

0:11:35.137 --> 0:11:38.497
<v Speaker 1>the Fellowship's efforts, Now is the time donate forty five

0:11:38.577 --> 0:11:41.497
<v Speaker 1>dollars to help provide an emergency food box that includes

0:11:41.537 --> 0:11:44.537
<v Speaker 1>items like food, water, baby formula, and other critical essentials

0:11:44.537 --> 0:11:47.817
<v Speaker 1>for vulnerable Israelis trapped in bomb shelters. The website for
