WEBVTT - DC Braces for Transfer Of Power 0:00:01.040 --> 0:00:16.319 You are entering the freedom hunch. We'll lockdown's end with 0:00:16.480 --> 0:00:21.440 Biden's reopened plan, DC braces for inauguration day and Trump 0:00:21.440 --> 0:00:25.840 did he classify some Russia collusion documents. This is the 0:00:25.880 --> 0:00:29.000 Buck Sexon Show, where the mission or mission is to 0:00:29.080 --> 0:00:35.760 decode what really matters with passionable intelligence. Make no mistake America, 0:00:36.640 --> 0:00:41.440 You're great American Again, the Buck Sexon Show begins. CIA 0:00:41.560 --> 0:00:50.519 analysts he's a great guy. No. Finally, it seems the 0:00:50.640 --> 0:00:54.880 obvious is something that the Libs, the Democrats will say 0:00:54.920 --> 0:00:57.360 out loud when it comes to lockdown, only a few 0:00:57.400 --> 0:01:00.640 of them, mind you, it's just beginning to happen. But 0:01:00.760 --> 0:01:03.720 for the first time, you're starting to see articles. You're 0:01:03.760 --> 0:01:07.840 seeing discussion from politicians like the governor of New York 0:01:07.880 --> 0:01:11.000 Andrew Cuomo, the mayor of Chicago, America's third largest city, 0:01:11.080 --> 0:01:16.240 Lori Lightfoot, and now a Newsweek piece COVID lockdowns have 0:01:16.360 --> 0:01:24.120 no clear benefit versus other voluntary measures. International study shows. 0:01:25.040 --> 0:01:29.960 So that's something that I've been saying for a long time, 0:01:31.600 --> 0:01:33.760 but now we can actually talk about it. And this 0:01:33.840 --> 0:01:38.440 is interesting. There is a coincidental timing, it seems. Now 0:01:38.720 --> 0:01:42.600 there's also the timing one would expect the vaccines were 0:01:42.640 --> 0:01:45.240 approved in December, and now we're getting into middle of 0:01:45.319 --> 0:01:50.680 January and things. We're halfway into the winter here, So 0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:54.960 obviously I get it there would be more of a 0:01:55.080 --> 0:01:57.360 light at the end of the tunnel, feel. But just 0:01:57.520 --> 0:02:00.760 yesterday you had Joe Biden telling everybody about his one 0:02:00.800 --> 0:02:05.920 point eight trillion dollar reopen plan to save America, And 0:02:06.040 --> 0:02:10.720 now you're also seeing the beginnings the first, the first 0:02:12.600 --> 0:02:17.680 few conversations happening publicly about maybe these lockdowns weren't such 0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:24.120 a good idea. Oh really, just before inauguration day, right 0:02:24.240 --> 0:02:26.840 right when we're about to see a change in government, 0:02:27.360 --> 0:02:32.320 there's the seeds of sanity being planted. I'm very pleased 0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:36.320 about that makes me happy. It should have happened a 0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:39.720 long time ago. And I also I can't help but 0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:42.480 take something of a cynical view about all this, because, 0:02:42.600 --> 0:02:46.320 for example, the Joe Biden rescue plan that's been talking 0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:49.960 about here one point eight trillion dollars, How do you 0:02:50.000 --> 0:02:53.560 oppose that when what you're going to be opposing is 0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:56.360 the rescue of America from COVID. How can you say 0:02:56.480 --> 0:02:59.760 there's too much spending going on when a lot of 0:02:59.760 --> 0:03:02.680 that spending will be money that should have been spent 0:03:02.840 --> 0:03:05.120 months and months ago, but Nancy Pelosi thwarted it and 0:03:05.160 --> 0:03:08.560 the Democrats stopped it. How do you deal with all that? 0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:14.160 What do you do? What political opposition will Republicans really 0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:16.760 be able to put up? I think the answer is 0:03:16.840 --> 0:03:19.720 not a whole lot. Oh, we're going to start the 0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:23.880 usual we're spending too much money conversation. Is that where 0:03:23.919 --> 0:03:27.200 it's going to go. Fine, we can do that, and 0:03:27.280 --> 0:03:30.720 it's true, it's not that that's not accurate, But we 0:03:30.760 --> 0:03:33.440 didn't talk about that for four years. Occasionally I used 0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:35.320 to say on this show, I know nobody wants to 0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:37.680 hear about it, but we're spending too much money as 0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:42.240 a government. Right, the treasury was profligant in its spending, 0:03:42.360 --> 0:03:45.000 and when the good times were happening, and they were 0:03:45.080 --> 0:03:48.520 until COVID for three years of Trump's presidency, nobody wanted 0:03:48.560 --> 0:03:50.720 to hear about it. It was just something that was 0:03:50.760 --> 0:03:53.840 happening in the background. Be quiet, maga, look at the 0:03:53.840 --> 0:03:58.960 stock market. That was the attitude. Now I understand how 0:03:58.960 --> 0:04:01.000 that happened, but we now I also have to face 0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:05.200 the reality of Democrats coming in with united control of 0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:09.200 the government and being able to say, not only did 0:04:09.280 --> 0:04:15.200 Republicans not curb their spending, but they have this added 0:04:15.880 --> 0:04:19.880 mission of saving America from COVID, which is going to 0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:23.280 require a ton of spending. And just like can you 0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:25.680 see the parallels with two thousand and eight, Just like 0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:29.160 when Obama came into office in two thousand and nine, 0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:31.560 he won the two thousand and eight election, and it 0:04:31.680 --> 0:04:34.160 was a trillion dollars stimulus package, remember that, And that 0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:35.960 sounded like a lot of money, didn't it. It It is 0:04:36.000 --> 0:04:38.520 a lot of money. We're looking at one point eight 0:04:38.560 --> 0:04:43.800 trillion right now, basically double and that's after spending trillions 0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:46.360 in the last in the last twelve months, in addition 0:04:47.320 --> 0:04:50.440 to the enormous federal alley that was planned before COVID. 0:04:51.400 --> 0:04:54.680 So Biden is also being set up here to be 0:04:55.160 --> 0:04:58.640 the savior in a sense, right he is the cure. 0:04:58.680 --> 0:05:02.480 You can almost write the headlines right now, and he's 0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:04.479 going to be able to get away with them. But 0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:07.320 it's not even Biden. He's just a figurehead. The Democrat 0:05:07.400 --> 0:05:10.720 machinery around him is going to be ramming through whatever 0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:15.360 they want all under this ages of COVID. That's what 0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:21.120 they'll do, all under this COVID situation, and if you 0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:24.920 oppose it, they'll say that you don't want America to 0:05:25.480 --> 0:05:28.000 be better off and you don't want Americans to be 0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:31.200 taken care of during this terrible and difficult time. So 0:05:31.240 --> 0:05:34.240 what does that leave us with? That leaves us with 0:05:35.080 --> 0:05:37.920 a very challenging case to make. Here, we're going to 0:05:37.960 --> 0:05:40.600 have Republicans who have no actual political authority and who 0:05:40.640 --> 0:05:45.640 are on the precipice of getting steamrolled on the filibuster, 0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:48.159 which I think is also going to happen. You see 0:05:48.200 --> 0:05:51.960 that that then becomes the trip wire. Biden has this 0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:54.720 one point a trillion and you're looking through all this stuff. 0:05:54.920 --> 0:05:57.240 You know, fifteen dollars minimum way, it's got all these 0:05:57.279 --> 0:05:59.440 things in it, right, fifteen dollars minimum way, it's two 0:05:59.480 --> 0:06:03.440 thousand dollars payments to individuals. You know that there's gonna 0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:05.040 be a whole lot of other stuff in there. There 0:06:05.160 --> 0:06:07.480 is a whole lot of other stuff in there that 0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:09.560 has nothing to do with saving America from COVID. But 0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:12.400 it's money that democrats, it's your money that Democrats want 0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:16.880 to spend on favored constituencies. But just like with the 0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:20.120 financial crisis in two thousand and nine, right, A crisis 0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:24.320 is a terrible thing to waste. They are already setting 0:06:24.320 --> 0:06:27.920 this up. It's a replay to borrow from Yogi Barra. 0:06:28.040 --> 0:06:31.119 It is deja vu all over again. We're seeing right 0:06:31.160 --> 0:06:36.520 now the Democrats. Really it's almost like doing Obama Administration 0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:40.599 two point zero or Obama administration reducts approach to the 0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:44.839 beginning of the Biden administration, and we're gonna have some 0:06:44.880 --> 0:06:47.600 of the same challenges. You want to oppose the one 0:06:47.640 --> 0:06:50.920 point eight trillion dollars in spending. Oh, I'm sorry. You 0:06:50.960 --> 0:06:55.520 don't want two thousand dollars checks in people's hands after 0:06:55.560 --> 0:06:59.200 this pandemic. Oh, you just want giveaways for corporations, Is 0:06:59.240 --> 0:07:02.839 that right? You don't want the money to be spent 0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:05.520 at the level it is right now because Nancy Pelosi 0:07:05.560 --> 0:07:09.720 was blocking it for obviously political reasons. Who cares. People 0:07:09.720 --> 0:07:12.720 still want their money. And if you look at the 0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:15.320 way they got Obamacare through, which also happened when they 0:07:15.360 --> 0:07:19.760 had a unified Congress and executive branch under the first 0:07:19.800 --> 0:07:23.720 Obama our first two years of Obama's presidency, if you 0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:26.320 look at what happened, what do we remember about the 0:07:26.360 --> 0:07:30.000 Obamacare debate? Oh, it was big. It was unwieldy. There 0:07:30.040 --> 0:07:33.000 was all this stuff in Obamacare, but ultimately it was 0:07:33.360 --> 0:07:35.400 you can stay in your parents insurance until you're twenty 0:07:35.440 --> 0:07:39.720 six and pre existing conditions that was in. There was 0:07:39.760 --> 0:07:42.040 all this other stuff, I mean medical device taxes and 0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:46.120 exchanges and all these things, and ultimately Obamacare just created 0:07:46.200 --> 0:07:50.040 in the individual market winners and losers chosen by the government. 0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:52.600 Some people were getting less and paying more, other people 0:07:52.640 --> 0:07:55.760 were getting more and paying less. It was just shifting 0:07:55.800 --> 0:08:00.720 around those costs. It did not create a better, cheaper, safer, 0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:04.600 more effective healthcare system. That didn't happen. And the way 0:08:04.640 --> 0:08:07.280 that it expanded most of its coverage was actually through Medicaid, 0:08:08.600 --> 0:08:12.600 which is a healthcare welfare system as we know that 0:08:12.680 --> 0:08:15.920 has pretty bad long term healthcare outcomes because a lot 0:08:15.960 --> 0:08:18.200 of providers in a lot of places won't take it 0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:20.840 because the very low reimbursement rates and that's the only 0:08:20.840 --> 0:08:23.679 way they keep costs down. So while they say you're covered, 0:08:23.840 --> 0:08:27.320 your access to care is actually not particularly strong. This 0:08:27.480 --> 0:08:30.080 is also known as a shortage or what ends up 0:08:30.080 --> 0:08:34.760 in rationing when there are shortages. So that's all that 0:08:34.800 --> 0:08:37.000 we talked about though during that debater, or I should 0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:39.559 say that was what the media focus was. Guess what, 0:08:40.400 --> 0:08:43.640 Right now, they're going to say, it's about two thousand 0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:48.160 dollar checks and a fifteen dollar minimum wage, and Republicans 0:08:48.200 --> 0:08:51.200 couldn't stop this even if they wanted to. So what 0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:54.439 you're going to see is Republicans make some noise about it, 0:08:54.520 --> 0:08:59.560 get beat up by the Democrats verbally in talking about 0:08:59.720 --> 0:09:01.920 in the Congress. Here they're gonna just smack them around 0:09:01.920 --> 0:09:04.160 and say, oh, I'm sorry, you don't want checks to Americans. 0:09:05.240 --> 0:09:08.680 And if they really try to stand fast on this, 0:09:08.720 --> 0:09:12.200 when if they if they really try to block this 0:09:12.280 --> 0:09:18.120 massive spending package, then what happens is they're they're going 0:09:18.160 --> 0:09:21.120 to get rid of the filibuster in a way that 0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:24.640 nobody's even gonna be upset about. I mean, yes, the 0:09:24.720 --> 0:09:26.480 people like me will say, oh my gosh, this is 0:09:26.520 --> 0:09:28.440 the strategy, and I see what they're doing. But what's 0:09:28.440 --> 0:09:31.000 really going to happen is that they will they will 0:09:31.080 --> 0:09:34.120 use this as an opportunity on something popular. This is 0:09:35.120 --> 0:09:38.360 me telling you they are setting that they know what 0:09:38.400 --> 0:09:43.000 they're doing. Forget about Biden. This is about the Democrat 0:09:43.440 --> 0:09:47.920 think tanks and activist groups and packs and their staffs 0:09:48.000 --> 0:09:51.880 and their little wonks. They understand how to set this 0:09:52.080 --> 0:09:55.400 up so that what looks like the rescue plan for 0:09:55.480 --> 0:09:59.360 America is just a complete open playing field for whatever 0:09:59.400 --> 0:10:02.439 else Democrat want to do, including perhaps once you get 0:10:02.520 --> 0:10:05.839 rid of the filibuster, it's going to be gone. So 0:10:05.880 --> 0:10:09.559 they're daring Republicans. Yeah, try to filibust and by the way, 0:10:09.559 --> 0:10:13.120 Republicans don't have the backbone to do it anyway. And 0:10:13.160 --> 0:10:16.240 then you add to that the prospect. Remember two thousand 0:10:16.280 --> 0:10:19.840 dollars checks, fifteen dollar minimum wage, those are very popular issues. 0:10:19.960 --> 0:10:24.280 It is unthinkable malpractice that Mitch McConnell didn't put through 0:10:24.600 --> 0:10:27.040 the two thousand dollars checks when he could have before 0:10:27.080 --> 0:10:31.960 the Georgia Senate election. Terrible malpractice. That was old school 0:10:32.120 --> 0:10:39.160 GOP loser thinking. And now what people keep asking me, 0:10:39.200 --> 0:10:42.240 what do we do? I want to tell you that 0:10:42.280 --> 0:10:47.560 there's a better answer as a conservative than hide under 0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:49.920 your desk. I want to tell you that brace for 0:10:50.000 --> 0:10:53.480 impact isn't the real sentiment we should feel. But I 0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:55.560 see all these things lining up, and when you add 0:10:55.600 --> 0:10:59.840 to that the ability to reopen, I mean, I think 0:11:00.000 --> 0:11:02.760 Iden will figure out a way to mess this up 0:11:03.320 --> 0:11:08.160 over the long term. I think we'll see the socialist impulse, 0:11:08.200 --> 0:11:12.920 the collectives in the ineptitude, the social justice, many of 0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:16.440 the climate change absurdity that will all factor into this, 0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:20.080 and people will see, oh my gosh, the people in 0:11:20.160 --> 0:11:22.280 charge are actually kind of nuts. What they're doing doesn't 0:11:22.320 --> 0:11:26.000 make sense, but for right now they are. They are 0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:28.760 teeing all of this up. They are teeing all of 0:11:28.800 --> 0:11:30.920 this up. And the people that think that there's a 0:11:30.960 --> 0:11:33.240 plan or that there's some and I'm just talking about 0:11:33.280 --> 0:11:37.000 from the Congress. I'm talking about from the Republican officeholders, 0:11:37.320 --> 0:11:40.320 of whom Donald Trump will not be one in a 0:11:40.320 --> 0:11:45.320 few days. It's gonna be tough. It's gonna be tough. 0:11:45.760 --> 0:11:47.840 I speak the truth. I know what should I do? 0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:51.480 Should I just tell people happy, happy fantasy stories about 0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:53.920 the geops or we're gonna have what a Convention of 0:11:53.920 --> 0:11:57.640 the States will save us? It will not, that's not 0:11:57.760 --> 0:11:59.920 at least I mean certainly not from the next twelve 0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:02.160 months and what the Democrats are planning, that's not an option. 0:12:02.200 --> 0:12:04.360 So I appreciate. I'm sure I'll get some links sent 0:12:04.440 --> 0:12:06.520 to me. What about a Convention of the States? Yeah, 0:12:06.559 --> 0:12:08.319 what about the last time we did that? We didn't 0:12:08.320 --> 0:12:10.120 do that, and it's not going to happen this time either. 0:12:10.880 --> 0:12:17.120 But I just want everyone to see, if nothing else, 0:12:18.200 --> 0:12:23.120 they suppressed the truth about lockdowns. They wouldn't discuss the 0:12:23.240 --> 0:12:28.359 data during a pandemic when people were effectively being imprisoned 0:12:28.360 --> 0:12:31.880 and isolated in their own homes, separated from their fairly 0:12:31.960 --> 0:12:35.520 human beings. All the drug abuse, all the miscancers, greetings, 0:12:35.520 --> 0:12:40.320 all the overdoses, and just the depression, the actual clinical 0:12:40.320 --> 0:12:42.440 depression that is set in for so many people across 0:12:42.440 --> 0:12:46.800 the country. That wasn't enough for them to say, this 0:12:46.880 --> 0:12:50.000 is above politics, Let's have an honest conversation about these lockdowns. 0:12:51.200 --> 0:12:54.200 Because this study out of Stanford, which is what Newsweek 0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:57.960 is citing here, says that you can't tell if there's 0:12:58.280 --> 0:13:01.560 the data, doesn't show any appreciable benefit of going into 0:13:01.679 --> 0:13:05.559 extreme lockdown measures over what I've been advocating for all along, 0:13:05.559 --> 0:13:07.760 which is you don't try to stay away from big crowds, 0:13:07.800 --> 0:13:09.920 wash your hands if you're six, stay away from people. 0:13:10.920 --> 0:13:14.040 But they created this, this total straw man of the 0:13:14.120 --> 0:13:17.480 COVID denialist. Oh, if you if you don't think that 0:13:17.559 --> 0:13:22.400 every two weeks we should add some absurd addition to 0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:25.679 the lockdown strategy. Well, now we're going to close restaurants 0:13:25.720 --> 0:13:29.120 outdoor too. Now we're gonna add masks outdoor too, or 0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:32.480 they just kept doing this, ratcheting it up. If you 0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:34.280 pointed out that this was absurd, it wasn't going to 0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:39.560 help anybody, what was their response. Their response was, you're 0:13:40.200 --> 0:13:43.960 a COVID denialist. You know what the data shows. The 0:13:44.000 --> 0:13:46.240 people who were saying that were wrong. And if you 0:13:46.360 --> 0:13:48.320 just think through this on your own, you recognize, of 0:13:48.320 --> 0:13:51.880 course that stuff didn't make a difference because the disease 0:13:51.960 --> 0:13:55.280 wasn't really spreading outdoors in any significant way. For example, 0:13:55.880 --> 0:13:59.840 because even with lockdowns, people are having to interact an 0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:03.400 off that the virus is still spreading. And initially when 0:14:03.440 --> 0:14:06.520 we were doing this, it was all about shutting down 0:14:06.880 --> 0:14:10.920 the virus for a short period of time, shutting down 0:14:10.960 --> 0:14:13.720 the spread not entirely, of course, for a short period 0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:16.120 of time to allow us to get medical capacity. And 0:14:16.160 --> 0:14:19.840 then it transitioned to know, we can stop this, No 0:14:20.000 --> 0:14:23.160 we can't. If you pull down you know what would 0:14:23.160 --> 0:14:25.560 have been twenty percent of cases, let's say, or thirty 0:14:25.600 --> 0:14:28.240 percent of cases over a two week period. But then 0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:32.160 you extend what you're doing over nine months twelve months, 0:14:33.160 --> 0:14:35.760 you end up at rough basically the same number. That's 0:14:35.760 --> 0:14:39.040 the point. It doesn't really change the eventual outcome here, 0:14:39.840 --> 0:14:42.440 which is what we're seeing all around the country. But 0:14:42.600 --> 0:14:45.200 they are just beginning to talk about it now because 0:14:45.200 --> 0:14:48.200 here's what I think will happen. They're going to hold 0:14:48.200 --> 0:14:52.239 out the reopen as well. They're going to leverage reopen 0:14:52.640 --> 0:14:56.560 as a means of silencing political descent from people like 0:14:56.600 --> 0:14:59.120 me who are going to point to all the pork 0:14:59.520 --> 0:15:02.040 and all the special interest stuff and all the social 0:15:02.080 --> 0:15:04.920 justice warrior nonsense that's going to be contained in the 0:15:06.520 --> 0:15:10.600 in the save US package that Biden is putting out there. 0:15:13.480 --> 0:15:16.480 You're in the Freedom Life. This is the Buck Sexton 0:15:16.560 --> 0:15:23.360 Show podcast. But they need about we need about four 0:15:23.720 --> 0:15:26.800 hundred billion in funding from Congress to make all of it. 0:15:26.880 --> 0:15:29.360 I just said happen. It's a great deal. But I'm 0:15:29.360 --> 0:15:33.320 convinced we're ready to get this done. The very health 0:15:33.560 --> 0:15:36.760 of our nation is at stake. Our rescue plan also 0:15:36.800 --> 0:15:40.040 includes a media relief to Americans hardest hit and most 0:15:40.080 --> 0:15:42.760 in need. We will finish the job of getting a 0:15:42.800 --> 0:15:46.600 total of two thousand dollars in cash relief to people 0:15:46.840 --> 0:15:50.160 who needed the most. The six hundred dollars already appropriated 0:15:50.280 --> 0:15:53.040 simply not enough if you just have to choose between 0:15:53.320 --> 0:15:56.640 paying rent and putting food on the table. Even for 0:15:56.760 --> 0:15:59.720 those who kept their jobs, these checks are really important. 0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:03.840 See if you're an American worker making forty thousand dollars 0:16:03.840 --> 0:16:06.120 a year with less than four hundred dollars in savings, 0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:10.240 maybe you've lost hours, or maybe you're doing fewer shifts 0:16:10.600 --> 0:16:13.200 driving a truck or caring for the kids or the elderly. 0:16:13.520 --> 0:16:16.000 You're out there putting your life on the line to 0:16:16.080 --> 0:16:19.600 work during this pandemic and worried every week that you 0:16:19.720 --> 0:16:23.000 get sick, lose your job, or worse. Two thousand dollars 0:16:23.120 --> 0:16:25.600 is going to go a long way to ease that pain. 0:16:26.560 --> 0:16:29.960 Four hundred billion dollars to combat the pandemic, with money 0:16:30.000 --> 0:16:33.960 to accelerate the vaccine deployment. Three hundred and fifty billion 0:16:34.040 --> 0:16:37.280 dollars for state and local governments that have budget shortfalls. 0:16:37.320 --> 0:16:43.120 That's right, the blue cities that excessively shut down out 0:16:43.160 --> 0:16:46.040 of COVID panic, and also because it was bad for 0:16:46.040 --> 0:16:47.920 the economy and bad for Trump. That was, there were 0:16:47.960 --> 0:16:52.000 political calculations made here, No question. Three hundred and fifty 0:16:52.000 --> 0:16:54.800 billion dollars going to them. That covers a lot of 0:16:54.840 --> 0:16:57.520 budget shortfalls. And what this means is that the taxpay 0:16:57.560 --> 0:17:01.240 are you those of you who live in redters states 0:17:01.360 --> 0:17:04.760 or places that didn't really lock down, you are now 0:17:04.800 --> 0:17:09.640 subsidizing the lockdown cities. That's what's happening. So, as I've 0:17:09.640 --> 0:17:11.639 been telling you along, if you think, oh, it's not 0:17:11.720 --> 0:17:13.840 that bad in my area, so this is more of 0:17:13.880 --> 0:17:16.680 a problem for the big cities or something, Nope, if 0:17:16.680 --> 0:17:19.440 you live in North Dakota, your federal income taxes now 0:17:19.440 --> 0:17:24.280 are going to pay for firefighters and teachers, unions and 0:17:24.440 --> 0:17:27.600 you name it. You know, sanitation workers in Los Angeles, Boston, 0:17:27.680 --> 0:17:30.720 New York, Washington, d C. That's what this is. And 0:17:30.920 --> 0:17:37.800 Pelosi's gambit as grotesque and and really just nasty as 0:17:37.800 --> 0:17:40.200 the whole thing was to hold up all this aid, 0:17:41.400 --> 0:17:43.040 I tell you the truth, and that means I'm telling 0:17:43.080 --> 0:17:47.679 you that worked worked the same way that you know 0:17:47.680 --> 0:17:51.080 that that Democrats complained so much about the gamble that 0:17:51.440 --> 0:17:55.000 the Republicans took by not putting forward, putting through I 0:17:55.000 --> 0:17:57.960 should say Merrick Garland for a vote in the Senate, 0:17:58.160 --> 0:18:01.719 and then Trump won in twenty sixteen, Nancy Pelosi held up, 0:18:01.800 --> 0:18:04.680 held up aid. The media did her bidding. It was terrible. 0:18:04.720 --> 0:18:07.840 People suffered. But now guess what Democrats get to be 0:18:08.960 --> 0:18:12.600 get to be the great distributor of goodies to the 0:18:12.640 --> 0:18:17.080 American people. This is gonna be tough. This is gonna 0:18:17.080 --> 0:18:19.199 be tough. I don't mean that part is tough. I 0:18:19.240 --> 0:18:22.399 mean how we actually slow down the other aspects of 0:18:22.440 --> 0:18:25.480 the Democrat agenda without looking like we're saying no, don't 0:18:25.480 --> 0:18:28.760 give the American people aid an assistance. This is how 0:18:28.800 --> 0:18:32.840 they're doing it. They tie these things together and increasingly 0:18:32.840 --> 0:18:35.080 in what you'll see and the media will play a 0:18:35.160 --> 0:18:39.080 huge role in this is taking the Biden agenda, the 0:18:39.119 --> 0:18:42.919 whole legislative agenda, and making it seem like it's running 0:18:43.160 --> 0:18:49.720 in parallel. It's running in parallel with the reopen. So 0:18:50.080 --> 0:18:52.679 if you oppose the Biden agenda, aren't you really just 0:18:52.760 --> 0:18:55.119 opposing the reopen Because come on, they're getting money out there, 0:18:55.119 --> 0:18:57.960 they're getting going. We are heading into the toughest, the 0:18:58.080 --> 0:19:03.080 toughest time for American political opposition to the the Democrat 0:19:03.200 --> 0:19:07.960 left in a decade. That's what's happening right now. Thanks 0:19:07.960 --> 0:19:13.159 for listening. To remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the 0:19:13.200 --> 0:19:17.720 iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. The gas 0:19:17.840 --> 0:19:22.600 lighting over BLM is going to get worse and worse 0:19:22.960 --> 0:19:28.040 right now. They're going to completely change the history of 0:19:28.080 --> 0:19:32.000 that movement. And I remember it well because BLM was used. 0:19:32.000 --> 0:19:36.440 As I remember, there's some complexities here. There's actual BLM protests, 0:19:36.480 --> 0:19:41.359 there's Antifa taking it upon themselves to act on behalf 0:19:41.440 --> 0:19:46.000 of BLM, which they were doing constantly, and then there's 0:19:46.080 --> 0:19:49.399 just the looting and riots that would occur after a 0:19:49.480 --> 0:19:52.639 BLM protest but in the name of BLM. So there's 0:19:53.320 --> 0:19:56.399 there's these different components. But overall, if referring to the 0:19:56.440 --> 0:20:00.600 movement of Black Lives Matter, it resulted in a lot 0:20:00.640 --> 0:20:06.200 of destruction in American cities. It resulted in dozens of deaths. 0:20:06.920 --> 0:20:10.520 And if you look at the overall homicide rates in 0:20:10.760 --> 0:20:15.000 major American cities, they've as a percentage, gone up dramatically. 0:20:15.320 --> 0:20:17.680 They will just be prepared for this. The Democrats will 0:20:17.720 --> 0:20:22.160 tell you, oh, homicide is still at a ten year 0:20:22.240 --> 0:20:25.000 low in the country, or whatever it may be. Overall, 0:20:25.359 --> 0:20:28.000 that is true. The trajectory has been going down for 0:20:28.000 --> 0:20:30.400 a long time, which is fascinating. Isn't it. Because we're 0:20:30.400 --> 0:20:32.200 always told that if only we got rid of more, 0:20:32.280 --> 0:20:35.600 if only we harass lawful gun owners more, the crime 0:20:35.680 --> 0:20:38.719 rate wouldn't be so terrible. But meanwhile, there are more 0:20:38.760 --> 0:20:41.000 and more guns and people's hands. Of the last twenty years, 0:20:41.119 --> 0:20:43.240 you've got over three hundred million people who say, buck, 0:20:43.280 --> 0:20:46.639 it's five hundred million, but hundreds of millions of legal 0:20:46.680 --> 0:20:49.760 firearms in Americans hands. And yet the crime rate had 0:20:49.800 --> 0:20:52.640 been steadily going down for the last it's really long 0:20:52.680 --> 0:20:54.520 in the last twenty years. Crime overall has been going 0:20:54.560 --> 0:20:57.240 down for decades, but this year there is a jump up. 0:20:58.000 --> 0:21:01.040 This year you're seeing cities like New York and Boston 0:21:01.119 --> 0:21:05.120 and Chicago and Los Angeles. Don't I don't know all 0:21:05.200 --> 0:21:08.439 the numbers offhand, but you know you're talking about fifty 0:21:08.440 --> 0:21:10.760 to one hundred percent increases in shootings in some of 0:21:10.760 --> 0:21:14.440 these cities, really bad year to year increase. And that's 0:21:14.440 --> 0:21:18.760 a result of the change in police tactics from b 0:21:19.320 --> 0:21:26.480 LM and I'm sorry, change the police tactics from BLM's 0:21:26.640 --> 0:21:33.959 demands that there'll be less aggressive policing. And that's and 0:21:34.040 --> 0:21:36.440 also people not wanting to lose their jobs, their livelihoods, 0:21:36.480 --> 0:21:41.360 their pensions because they become a target of a BLM protester, 0:21:41.440 --> 0:21:43.200 or it becomes one of these cases. You saw this 0:21:43.320 --> 0:21:45.080 in Philadelphia. I mean, there was a guy who over 0:21:45.119 --> 0:21:49.240 the summer ran at a police officer with a knife drawn, screaming, 0:21:49.600 --> 0:21:53.760 clearly deranged, and you know, yes, the guy's mentally disturbed. 0:21:53.760 --> 0:21:57.000 It's a tragic situation. But the cop does not have 0:21:57.040 --> 0:22:00.320 an obligation to get stabbed in the face before he's 0:22:00.359 --> 0:22:02.560 and uses his weapon. This is all on video. We 0:22:02.600 --> 0:22:05.680 all thought they made an issue of that case. Well, 0:22:05.720 --> 0:22:07.560 if you're a police officer and you see that, you 0:22:07.600 --> 0:22:12.120 say to yourself, well, what exactly am I supposed to do? 0:22:12.920 --> 0:22:15.320 And now, when you're driving on your patrol car, you 0:22:15.359 --> 0:22:19.360 don't you see something going on down that proverbial dark alley, right, 0:22:19.400 --> 0:22:22.520 you see something happening, you know, you just keep going 0:22:22.960 --> 0:22:25.000 unless you get a call that you can't ignore. You're 0:22:25.840 --> 0:22:29.560 you're just gonna focus on other things. Well, that makes 0:22:29.600 --> 0:22:33.920 everybody in the community less safe, That makes everybody more 0:22:33.960 --> 0:22:38.879 subject to random and wanton violence. But there's a big, 0:22:38.920 --> 0:22:42.040 big effort underway right now to make sure that the 0:22:42.240 --> 0:22:45.960 right is going to be treated like the exclusive the 0:22:46.160 --> 0:22:52.680 exclusive perpetrator of political violence. That's it's a narrative they're 0:22:52.680 --> 0:22:56.080 trying to build right now, that's what they're doing. You 0:22:56.119 --> 0:23:06.119 have the age for DC Carl Racine saying this about 0:23:06.800 --> 0:23:10.639 BLM protests. Now, by the way, we shouldn't be comparing 0:23:10.720 --> 0:23:14.159 BLM protests with Capitol riots, that's true, or with the 0:23:14.200 --> 0:23:17.440 Capitol riot. I should say we should not compare those things. 0:23:18.040 --> 0:23:22.480 We should compare the hundreds of BLM riots with the 0:23:22.560 --> 0:23:27.919 Capitol riots or riot sea isn't that important plural versus 0:23:28.119 --> 0:23:32.320 versus singular. But we should compare what happened in Kenosha, 0:23:32.400 --> 0:23:36.200 We should compare what happened in Minneapolis. We should compare 0:23:36.480 --> 0:23:41.480 those incidents with Capitol Hill. And then I think that's 0:23:41.680 --> 0:23:45.480 that's a much more apples to apples comparison. But anyway, 0:23:45.520 --> 0:23:48.520 here's what the District of Columbia AG has to say 0:23:48.520 --> 0:23:52.200 about a Place six in regards to Black Lives Matter 0:23:52.400 --> 0:23:57.120 and the comparison to an attempt of insurrection at the Capitol. 0:23:57.440 --> 0:24:00.200 I think it speaks for itself when people like Honor 0:24:00.200 --> 0:24:03.840 will Madis made clear that what this was was an 0:24:03.840 --> 0:24:09.440 attempted insurrection into our democratic ways. We know quite easily 0:24:09.680 --> 0:24:14.520 that the Black Lives Matter protest was unbelievably different. And 0:24:14.560 --> 0:24:19.440 by the way, do not let anyone, including Ken Cucinelli 0:24:19.560 --> 0:24:24.280 or other elected officials, tell you that Democratic elected people 0:24:24.760 --> 0:24:29.800 did not condemn the violence that occurred during the summer protests. 0:24:30.280 --> 0:24:34.680 They always did, I always did. I get to tell you, though, 0:24:35.000 --> 0:24:40.199 trying to overturn an election with violence, including violence on 0:24:40.280 --> 0:24:45.000 police officers, is something very, very different. They should be 0:24:45.040 --> 0:24:48.320 held to account or their lives. Just not true that 0:24:48.359 --> 0:24:50.320
