1
00:00:01,639 --> 00:00:04,920
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcast, make sure

2
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 1: you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeartRadio app or

3
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 1: wherever you get your podcasts. Yes, the Senate begins another

4
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: impeachment trial today, this one of a former President Donald Trump.

5
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 1: He's got the distinction of being the first president impeached twice,

6
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:25,599
Speaker 1: as well as the first to go through this process

7
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: after already having left office. In order to protect our democracy,

8
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 1: Democrats are making a mockery of it. I insist this

9
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:41,880
Speaker 1: is necessary because Trump's a uniquely evil and dangerous figure

10
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 1: in American history. You've certainly heard that a million times.

11
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 1: But there's a much simpler explanation for a repeat performance

12
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 1: of this congressional absurdity. Trump broke the Libs, and all

13
00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: the King's horses and all the King's men couldn't put

14
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: them back together again. Trump broke the lips, and they're

15
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 1: emotionally and psychologically damaged. They were wounded by the Trump presidency,

16
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: they were traumatized by Trump winning that twenty sixteen election.

17
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: And so this, for them is something that they insist

18
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 1: we go through. They insisted happens they needed to happen

19
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 1: in the hopes that the Trump boogeyman will forever be

20
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 1: vanquished from the political scene. This is crazy. Let's remember

21
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 1: that from the start, everything about Donald J. Trump as

22
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 1: president was an affront to Democrats. They abhorred his policies

23
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 1: and vision. They detested his Maga slogan. They hated his

24
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: roughness with journalists on Twitter, which was amazing most of

25
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: the time, and his constant goating of our fraudulent ruling class.

26
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: His refusal to bend the knee at the altar of

27
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 1: political correctness was sacrilege. They and hated his hair and

28
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: constantly bleated that Orange man bad. This is all we

29
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 1: have to know to understand that opposition to Trump was

30
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 1: never rooted in fairness or decency. Anything and everything was

31
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: justified to take him down. Democrats, the deep state, the

32
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: corporate media colluded to create a Russia Gate hoax that

33
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,359
Speaker 1: was meant to end Trump's presidency and caused the ruination

34
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:30,639
Speaker 1: of his brand and family, and the left all along

35
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 1: could care less that it was all based on a

36
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: big lie. In fact, they celebrated that aspect of it.

37
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 1: It showed how powerful and how devious they were. Unhinged Antitrumpism,

38
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: as we've seen at its core was always a selfish

39
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: tantrum of the elites. Trump, you see, is one of them,

40
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,119
Speaker 1: and they felt that as one of their own, he

41
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 1: was breaking an unspeaking, unspoken code. Here he was holding

42
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: up the mirror to their incompetence and vanity in front

43
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 1: of the whole country and for the powerful, for the elites,

44
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 1: for the ruling class, including of course, the Romneyite wing

45
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: of the GOP. Trump's twenty sixteen win was an unpardonable sin.

46
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:22,839
Speaker 1: The Democrats now want to conduct a political exorcism as

47
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 1: a result. And here's my prediction, really, my promise to you,

48
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: this is going to be a clown show. What exactly

49
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: do they hope to achieve with this impeachment trial. No

50
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: serious person believes the Senate will reach the two thirds

51
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 1: vote threshold for conviction. Any Republican in a red state

52
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: voting to convict Trump would be committing political suicide. That's

53
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: because the Trump base would obviously take it as an insult,

54
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: and it isn't an insult meant to humiliate seventy five

55
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: million Trump voters. Men to treat us all like we

56
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: stormed that capital, like we are all right wing qan

57
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: non violent, domestic insurrectionists. Now we're just Americans who think

58
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: that Donald Trump would be better if he were still

59
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 1: in office than Joe Biden. It's pretty straightforward, really. But

60
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: the point of all of this is clear. The reason

61
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: the Democrats are doing all of this is vindictiveness. They

62
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 1: think that a Democrat sent a Democrat trial the Senate

63
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 1: will allow them to achieve what they've wanted all along,

64
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 1: which is the repudiation of all things Trump, the elimination

65
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 1: of him from the future, and the eradication of him

66
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,239
Speaker 1: from the record. It will be as if Trump never

67
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 1: existed in our political life. That's what this is supposed

68
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,720
Speaker 1: to achieve, and it will allow the news media, of course,

69
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: to run endless stories on a loop about Trump's incitement

70
00:04:55,480 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 1: to insurrection. This is ultimately about that narrative creation and

71
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 1: the destruction of a Trump brand. I still believe that

72
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: the unintended consequences of this are going to come back

73
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: and bite the Democrats heart, that what they're doing is

74
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 1: completing here four years of an obvious cycle of persecution,

75
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 1: with the wild eyed fury and vengeance of the Trump

76
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 1: derange leading the whole thing, acting like he was Hitler,

77
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 1: acting like he was a fascist, he was a Russian puppet.

78
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: He was going to lead us to nuclear war with

79
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: North Korea. That's right. The guy who didn't start a

80
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 1: new war was the one that we were told was

81
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,479
Speaker 1: just minutes away from a massive conflict with Iran, or

82
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: exchanging nukes with North Korea, or invading Sweden because he

83
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: wanted to steal all their ergonomic chairs. Whatever. That's what

84
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 1: they said about Trump for four years. And now they

85
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: won't even let the guy leave office as he has

86
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: and go into private life as is his right, without

87
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 1: continued harassment. And this isn't just meant to harass him,

88
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: It's meant to harass you. This is meant to show

89
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: you that what you did, if you voted for this man,

90
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 1: will neither be forgotten nor forgiven by your elites, by

91
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 1: your betters. Vote for Biden, peasant. Don't you see how

92
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 1: brilliant he is? Don't you see what a genius we

93
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: have at the helm of government doing the things and

94
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 1: the stuff, And oh yeah, oh yeah, that guy. He's

95
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:37,799
Speaker 1: now the commander in chief of the United States military.

96
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 1: Don't you sleep better at night knowing that? And exactly

97
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 1: what we had expected all along is what's happening. He's

98
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: a pass through, he's a puppet for the radical left.

99
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 1: They just used him because he was the facade they

100
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 1: needed to convince enough people in a very tough year.

101
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,599
Speaker 1: Twenty twenty was a hell of a bad year, and

102
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 1: it just was that's the truth, we all know it.

103
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 1: And in a really bad year, the promise of a

104
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: guy who will bring us back to normalcy just was.

105
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: It was just enough with all the changes, and yes

106
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: there were changes, and all the stacking of the deck,

107
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: and yes there was stacking of the deck with the

108
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 1: election and all the shenanigans and machinations behind the seeds

109
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: added to Joe Biden as a manchurian candidate for the left.

110
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 1: Guy's been around so long. How dangerous could he really be? Right?

111
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: That was the whole sales pitch. They were able to

112
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 1: get him into the Oval office. And now we see

113
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: what an absurdity the whole thing is. And so they're

114
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 1: claiming that Trump incited an insurrection. Wouldn't it be nice

115
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: if we could get full answers on exactly what the extent, when,

116
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: what the severity of the violence from this insurrection was

117
00:07:54,400 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 1: before this impeachment trial commenced. Somehow it just broke recently

118
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 1: that the one officer who did die, Officer sick Nick,

119
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 1: at Capitol Hill, according to CNN reporting, was in no

120
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: way violently beaten to death. That didn't happen. He did

121
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: not have bruises, contusions, nothing, So it wasn't a it

122
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: wasn't an attack the way that we were led to

123
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: believe that took Officer sick Nick's life. What did and why?

124
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: Isn't that an urgent matter of national concern for the media.

125
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 1: Shouldn't we know that right away? I backed the blue

126
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,439
Speaker 1: I want to know what really happened, but we can't

127
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 1: know what really happened. Insurrection. Have the trial right, verdict,

128
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 1: first trial later, that's what they're hoping for here. But

129
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 1: the verdict isn't even going to be what they want

130
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:52,319
Speaker 1: and they know it. So what are they really going

131
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: to do. They're going to give a lot of speeches

132
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 1: about how awful Trump was. They're going to give plenty

133
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: of sound bites to see ann An MSNBC. The journalist

134
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 1: class will go through this Catharsis where they think they've

135
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 1: finally defeated Trumps. M they're finally getting their revenge on

136
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: him for the four years of humiliation that they felt

137
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 1: they suffered at his hand. It's really all about them.

138
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 1: It's not about the American people, I can assure you,

139
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 1: and it's certainly not about what's best for justice, the constitution,

140
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 1: or the country. Nobody even remembers what the first farce

141
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 1: impeachment of Trump was about at this point, and this one,

142
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:34,319
Speaker 1: the second impeachment two point o version, will soon fade

143
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,719
Speaker 1: out of the public's mind as well. But what will

144
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:40,199
Speaker 1: linger is the recognition that former President Donald J. Trump

145
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 1: drove much of the Democrat Party insane, and that psychosis

146
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:51,079
Speaker 1: is already defining much of the Biden agenda. So strap in,

147
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: my friends, it is going to be a bumpy ride.

148
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Follow fuck on Facebook, Instagram,

149
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 1: and Twitter. Once again, they picked the dumbest of all

150
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: impeachment articles. I mean, you got Kamala Harris with Amy

151
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 1: Coney Barrett. Remember that mother of seven, and she's telling

152
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 1: the whole world that Judge Barrett's coming after your healthcare

153
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 1: and coming after your reproductive rights and coming after your

154
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 1: voting rights. I mean, if you're dumb enough to believe that,

155
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,679
Speaker 1: that's going to incite you too, So what the president's

156
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 1: lawyers are going to do is play those clips and say,

157
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 1: you know what, if you're going to start penalizing hot

158
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 1: political rhetoric, let's do it for both sides. This is

159
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: a very important point in all of this, and it's

160
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 1: in some ways the most troubling legacy of what has

161
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: happened with the transition of power to Bide administration. They

162
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 1: have embraced now double standards in the policing of speech

163
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 1: that are meant to politically crush the other side. If

164
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 1: we say fight for your rights, it's insurrection, it's violence.

165
00:10:55,559 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 1: If they say Trump didn't really win the election, he

166
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: he's an agent of Russia. Vladimir Putin has compromat on him,

167
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,599
Speaker 1: and oh, any moment, now you know he's going to

168
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: hand the country over to the Kremlin. That's just you know,

169
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 1: analysis and editorializing, or just straight news. I mean, they'll

170
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 1: lie even more about it. This disparity is something that

171
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 1: they are entirely embracing because they think they have the

172
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 1: power now to do it. This is not a side effect,

173
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,079
Speaker 1: this is the intent. The Democrats want to be able

174
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 1: to use the most inflammatory rhetoric possible. They want political

175
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,679
Speaker 1: violence to be excused and minimized on their side, as

176
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 1: we see from BLM and ANTIFA constantly, and then on

177
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 1: the other side, they want the perception to be that

178
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 1: if you're a conservative, if you're a Republican, if you're

179
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: a Trump supporter, and you say anything that borrows from

180
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 1: the common usage martial rhetoric of politics, you're a bad person.

181
00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:02,319
Speaker 1: You've incited violence. Sorry, you're responsible for that Capitol Hill insurrection.

182
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: Even after the fact, you were contributing to it. Even

183
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: if you weren't there and didn't say anything and didn't

184
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: know about it, you're a contributor, even though it happened

185
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 1: before you said the thing you said doesn't matter. Go

186
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 1: back in and read just a few chapters in the

187
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 1: in the early stages the sewage system of the of

188
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 1: the Soviet Union was one way that soulsan Neatson would

189
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 1: refer to this, and it's it's amazing when you see

190
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 1: how the arguments, the arguments that would be raised by

191
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 1: the system were. It didn't matter, it didn't matter. It

192
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 1: was all meant to just take care of dissent. It

193
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 1: didn't make any difference whatsoever. If you had a fair point,

194
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 1: It didn't make any difference. If you were you know

195
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: you were meant to be flushed away. Be quiet. We're

196
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 1: in power. Shut up your arguments. Don't matter what side

197
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: of the political aisle is doing that right now? Who

198
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 1: is really doing that? Just getting rid of the argument

199
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 1: of the other side without even engaging? Is that on

200
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 1: the writers that on the left? We know that it's

201
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 1: certainly on the right. We don't own the social media platforms,

202
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 1: the corporate news media, Hollywood academia. We don't have control

203
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 1: of these things. No corporation bends the knee and begs

204
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: forgiveness for offending right wingers. No major company says, oh,

205
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry that. You know, Christian conservatives feel like

206
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,599
Speaker 1: they've been affronted in some way by one of our policies. No,

207
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 1: quite the opposite. So who really has the power right now?

208
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 1: Who's really calling the shots? That then brings me to

209
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 1: this impeachment this week? Even when they're in power, it's

210
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,680
Speaker 1: not enough to wield it. They have to destroy the

211
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 1: other side. Because here's something that you got to know.

212
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 1: The single greatest asset that Republicans have is that the incompetence, absurdity, fecklessness,

213
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 1: and phoniness of the Democrats is going to be obvious

214
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 1: for all to see. I mean, after six more months

215
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: of of bumbling, mumbling Biden and John Carry's climate lectures,

216
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 1: you know, maybe he should just call in from the yacht,

217
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 1: you know, really just go all in, John Carry. The

218
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: midterms are going to start to look a whole lot

219
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 1: more promising than they do right now, that's for sure.

220
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 1: But it'll also be this will be an opportunity, you'll

221
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 1: see this for Democrats to say the most absurd stuff

222
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 1: you've ever heard about a president. And that's saying a

223
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 1: lot given what they've already said about Trump. In Senator

224
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 1: Harrono is trying to say that there might be some

225
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 1: surprise vote from the GOP. I certainly don't think she's right,

226
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 1: but you never know until it happens. Senator Harrono, among

227
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 1: the I always said, among the it's probably is the

228
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 1: dumbest person in the United States Congress. She's saying that, Oh,

229
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 1: don't worry, there is going to be the surprise vote.

230
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 1: Play six. Well, what I understand is that most of

231
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: my Republican colleagues will vote to not convictim and hiding

232
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 1: behind this argument which is not adhered to by most

233
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 1: constitutional scholars, that impeaching a president who has already left

234
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 1: office is unconstitutional. That is not the case. So they'll

235
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: hide behind that. Why John, Because what is happening with

236
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 1: my Republican colleagues, most of them, is their extreme fear

237
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: of Donald Trump and the Trump base. So what's motivating

238
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 1: them is extreme fear rather than doing their constitutional responsibility

239
00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 1: to listen to the evidence and vote for conviction. My bad,

240
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 1: I actually misread the verbed as they call it on

241
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 1: that one. I thought she was saying they might vote

242
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 1: for conviction because they had been in fear. But no,

243
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 1: she's saying they won't vote because they are scared. They

244
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 1: won't vote for conviction because they're scared. And no, they

245
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 1: won't vote for conviction because he didn't incite it. Insurrection

246
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 1: and Democrats set a standard. I think this is very important,

247
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 1: and the standard is that they are that it's allowable

248
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 1: to question an election result as long as you're doing

249
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 1: it against Republicans. We thought the standard was it's just

250
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: allowable to question an election result, because that would be

251
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: a standard. But they've got a double standard, and that's

252
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 1: what'll be operating here. That's what we'll be going on.

253
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 1: And then, of course more about well, we don't even

254
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 1: have you know, they're going to talk more about how

255
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 1: this is all about repudiating white supremacy, which is now

256
00:16:56,680 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 1: in our discourse and in just news and analysis, the

257
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:05,400
Speaker 1: most abused and overused phrase in the English language, which

258
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 1: is pretty astonishing we think about it. I've never heard

259
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 1: so much referred to that has nothing to do with

260
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 1: the original term. White supremacy is just now a catchall

261
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:19,400
Speaker 1: for we hate the other political people. They'll call anybody

262
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 1: the same way they used to call anything they didn't

263
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 1: like racist in the nineties. They'll call anyone they don't

264
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:27,920
Speaker 1: like now or anything any system a white supremacist, were

265
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 1: a part of white supremacy, and never have to define it,

266
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,159
Speaker 1: never have to back this up. It's just the smear

267
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 1: that's useful, and so they continue to deploy it and

268
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 1: they and speaking of smears, you gotta hear what they're

269
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 1: saying about Governor Ronda Santiss right now. They're delusional and

270
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:50,920
Speaker 1: they're dishonest. This is the Buck Sexton Show Podcast. Join

273
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 1: the show. I gotta tell you and watching twenty two

274
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:07,879
Speaker 1: thousand fans in the stadium yesterday, most wearing masks, but

275
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 1: then afterwards revelers running all around without mask. I just

276
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 1: kept on thinking super spurt events, super spurt events, supersprit event,

277
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 1: and I was thinking about Governor Desantists with you know,

278
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 1: lifting all of the restrictions. I thought, you know, Florida's

279
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 1: going to kill all of us. I really felt that way.

280
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:27,680
Speaker 1: And there should be no reason why wearing a mask

281
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 1: has been politicized the way that it has been. There

282
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 1: should be no reason why Governor Desantists has been so

283
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:37,880
Speaker 1: woefully inadequate in terms of protecting the people, not only

284
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 1: of Florida, but the people of the United States. Imagine

285
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 1: all those those people, those fourteen thousand and five hundred

286
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 1: ticket buyers, who are now going to fly back somewhere

287
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 1: or go back into their communities and infect other people.

288
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:56,199
Speaker 1: I thought it was just despicable and disgusting. Now she's just,

289
00:18:56,359 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 1: I guess, not very smart, this woman on the View fourteenth.

290
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 1: That should she really think that fourteen thousand people who

291
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 1: are at this open air stadium and socially distanced, they

292
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 1: all got infected. Really, it's a super Spretter event. Really,

293
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:13,919
Speaker 1: what were the Black Lives Matter protests which were outside?

294
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,679
Speaker 1: Were they Superspretter events? I just want to know. No,

295
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: they weren't. Oh okay, So the virus discriminates on the

296
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 1: basis of politics, right, sure, it only infects right wing

297
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 1: outdoor gatherings. But this is also the Super Bowl. It's

298
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:32,880
Speaker 1: not even a right wing gathering. It's just people want

299
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 1: to see football. Ah, but it's in Florida, so there's

300
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 1: a political component to it. You see, you are going

301
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:46,640
Speaker 1: to be unfortunately dragged through dishonesty that will truly blow

302
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,879
Speaker 1: your mind in the months ahead. The data speaks for itself.

303
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 1: Rhonda Santists has the third oh sorry, the Yeah, the

304
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 1: third largest state in the country by population is in

305
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 1: the middle of the pack nationwide for COVID mortality. That

306
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:08,159
Speaker 1: includes states like Wyoming, Vermont, Montana. Yeah, that includes states

307
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 1: where there's far fewer people, no real cities to speak of,

308
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 1: you know, large cities to speak of. Sorry, and you

309
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 1: know you're talking about Florida, which was open the whole

310
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 1: time and limited the tyranny of the mask shamers and

311
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 1: the lockdown lunatics limited their tyranny and the response you

312
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:32,639
Speaker 1: get from people now looking at the data is just

313
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:36,159
Speaker 1: lie about it. Desantist is the bad guy and all

314
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:38,440
Speaker 1: of this they have to tell. They have to convince

315
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:41,439
Speaker 1: people that because unless they get them all bleeding it

316
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:43,919
Speaker 1: like the sheep they are, if they actually look at

317
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 1: the data, they look at the numbers, you'd have to say, Okay,

318
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 1: Desantists did not shut his state down and yet had

319
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 1: a better, better COVID result in every possible way you

320
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 1: can gauge it. Then then California, then New York, then

321
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 1: New Jersey. Then I mean, I don't want to speak

322
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 1: out of turn and guess at a number of other states,

323
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,920
Speaker 1: but I'm sure it's better than Michigan, better than Illinois.

324
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 1: And they're acting like he's the bad guy. You'll you'll

325
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 1: see this. This is gonna be very clear because you

326
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 1: know what terrifies them think about this. Trump's down, His

327
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 1: whole family's now down in Florida. Florida has become the

328
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 1: new Texas in a lot of ways. Sorry Texas, I

329
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 1: love you, but you know your governor's not been so great.

330
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 1: Governor Abbott not so great. Austin, Little Tuloney tunes Austin

331
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,160
Speaker 1: with the policies I know we've got our KLBJ folks there,

332
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:45,119
Speaker 1: but how Austin I'm told as like San Francisco plopped

333
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 1: down in the middle of Texas right now, although really

334
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:52,160
Speaker 1: good food, so that's nice. And here's what's going on

335
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 1: with the way the Democrats are viewing all this. If

336
00:21:55,640 --> 00:22:00,920
Speaker 1: Desantist is able to get that Trump apparatus behind him,

337
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 1: with being a very effective governor, with having a record

338
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 1: to show through a true crisis that he was he

339
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 1: was smarter and braver and just better at this than

340
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 1: other people in positions of authority in power, he will

341
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 1: be a formidable candidate if he were to choose to run,

342
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:20,920
Speaker 1: and especially if the Trump's decided to get behind him.

343
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 1: You know, maybe maybe Ivanka runs for Senate in Florida

344
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:28,399
Speaker 1: and Laura Trump runs for senator North Carolina, and you know,

345
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 1: Donald Trump Junior decides that he wants to really just

346
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:32,919
Speaker 1: push De Santists this go round. He's still got a

347
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:36,440
Speaker 1: long time before he would have to run himself. So

348
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 1: they're trying to deal with this right away. Stop the

349
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 1: De Santists trained before it can get going. And I'm

350
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 1: sure Flurdians are saying, stop trying to steal my governor

351
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 1: Buck but the nation may need him. The nation may

352
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:54,639
Speaker 1: need him. Think about that an America First Agenda filtered

353
00:22:54,680 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 1: through the judgment and aptitude for governance of Rhonda Santis.

354
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 1: That could really be something. I'm gonna look, I don't

355
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 1: want to get too early in this and celebrating before

356
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:12,639
Speaker 1: we all, but we're seeing the COVID numbers make it

357
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 1: a very clear who's done what. But you know they're

358
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:17,120
Speaker 1: gonna lie about him. And this is why I want

359
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 1: to establish this now for all of either going to

360
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 1: be lying to you about de Santis play For obviously,

361
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:30,120
Speaker 1: Florida remains a hotspot the variant, it looks like it

362
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:34,919
Speaker 1: could spread very quickly around this state, and Mika vaccinations

363
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:40,359
Speaker 1: continue to go at an unbelievably slow rate. Yeah, I know,

364
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 1: the vaccine process is painfully slow. I mean there are

365
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 1: people who are in categories who you know are definitely

366
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 1: applied for it right now, like my mother, People over

367
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:53,639
Speaker 1: the age of seventy who cannot get it. And then

368
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 1: you see video of kids squashed together screaming at each other,

369
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 1: probably drink I mean, this is just a nightmare. Well

370
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,680
Speaker 1: that is a COVID nightmare. You talk about your mother

371
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:08,200
Speaker 1: that there's somebody who's eighty nine who has Parkinson he

372
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 1: can't get a vaccine. He hasn't been able to get

373
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 1: a vaccine. And we know a lot of people who

374
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:18,639
Speaker 1: are in their mid to late seventies eighties who have

375
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:24,440
Speaker 1: underlying conditions in Florida can't get their vaccines either. Seriously,

376
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:29,359
Speaker 1: how hard has this been? I know that Ron De

377
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 1: Santis has been stumbling around over the past year or

378
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 1: so and has had some real problems, especially as it's

379
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 1: pertained to vaccines, but I don't think anybody would have

380
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:43,360
Speaker 1: expected him to fill it up as badly as he has. Now,

381
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:47,120
Speaker 1: let me just give you numbers so you understand how

382
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 1: much these idiots on Morning Joe are lying to you.

383
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 1: They're lying to you. You hear this. Oh yeah, it's

384
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 1: so bad. You know. De sand has done such a

385
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:58,359
Speaker 1: bad job. New York and Florida roughly equal population. New

386
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 1: York is the epitome of the fauciite Democrat lockdown state. Okay,

387
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:09,439
Speaker 1: the epitome of it. And and I'm here and I know,

388
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,879
Speaker 1: and I've been dealing with it. First doses received of

389
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:15,160
Speaker 1: the vaccine in New York, and we've got roughly same

390
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 1: population here, folks, New York and Florida first doses received

391
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 1: one point eight million in New York. Oh, who wants

392
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 1: to guess how many have been received in Florida? Two

393
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 1: point seven million? So is two point seven million more

394
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 1: than one point eight million? Does any do any libs

395
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 1: out there? Does? Morning? Joe? Can Morning Joe? Math good

396
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,680
Speaker 1: for me? For a second? Here? Can you math? Good?

397
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 1: Joe Scarborough? What's more two point seven million or one

398
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 1: point eight million? Hmm? But John Ron de Santis on

399
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 1: a terrible job with the factory at all? Okay, you say, well, Buck,

400
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 1: that's only that's only one metric. Okay, Let's look at

401
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 1: the most important metric of all deaths. And remember we're

402
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 1: talking about a popular two. Florida has two million more people. Okay,

403
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 1: So Florida actually, in a sense, is not a fair

404
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,679
Speaker 1: comparison in Florida's favor when you're looking at a number

405
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 1: like this Florida deaths from COVID nineteen twenty seven thousand,

406
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 1: eight hundred and fourteen New York deaths from COVID nineteen

407
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 1: as of today, according to CDC data, forty four thousand,

408
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 1: five hundred and twelve. Okay, again, Joe, Scarborough, Mika Brazinski,

409
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 1: Let's see if you can math good. What's more twenty

410
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 1: seven thousand or forty four thousand? Anybody, anybody? Bueller, bueller?

411
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 1: But Ron Descentis has messed it up so badly, do

412
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:45,360
Speaker 1: you see, friends, we have we have a scoreboard now,

413
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 1: so to speak with things like the vaccination, we have

414
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:53,679
Speaker 1: results to look at. Here is this is not just opinion.

415
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:55,919
Speaker 1: This is not oh, I like my guy, you like

416
00:26:56,040 --> 00:27:00,439
Speaker 1: your guy. This is we actually have data from the

417
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 1: FOUCH and the data, unequivocally, with absolute clarity, shows that

418
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 1: Florida did better the New York over the last twelve

419
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 1: months of dealing with this pandemic. There is no honest,

420
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 1: serious argument otherwise it doesn't exist. And you can look

421
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 1: at at other similar sites. By the way, New Jersey

422
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 1: would be the same thing. Very hard lockdown in New Jersey,

423
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 1: very serious with the virus. And if you look at

424
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 1: other other blue states, you know, it becomes very clear

425
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 1: what's happening here. And I want everyone to understand this.

426
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:45,920
Speaker 1: They have to lie. They have to lie about this

427
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:50,919
Speaker 1: because their power is at stake. They told you so

428
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:54,159
Speaker 1: many things that were not true, and they won't admit

429
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 1: now even when the data speaks clearly to how they

430
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 1: were wrong, that they were wrong, they just want to

431
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 1: change course a little bit slowly. They told you things

432
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 1: that were not true. They made people suffer, and they

433
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,400
Speaker 1: understand that if the American people come to recognize that,

434
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 1: there will be consequences for those in charge. They will

435
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 1: be kicked out of power because they're idiots, and the

436
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 1: Democrat Party will lose power. So what do they do.

437
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,120
Speaker 1: They are just telling you things that are not true.

438
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 1: I mean The Morning Joe and The View and these

439
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 1: other shows. They're going after low information voters out there

440
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 1: who watched these shows and think that they're getting intelligent

441
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 1: analysis and an honest journalism or whatever, and they're they're

442
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 1: just making stuff up. You cannot say that Ronda Santis

443
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 1: has done a bad job with COVID compared to other

444
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 1: states of similar size and population density. It is an

445
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:50,719
Speaker 1: impossible argument to make. And yet they're not. Only are

446
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 1: they saying that he didn't do they're saying that he

447
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 1: did a terrible job and other people did a good job,

448
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 1: like Cuomo. Yeah, these people never cared about you. They

449
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 1: didn't care the suffering you went through. These media talking

450
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 1: heads did not miss a single paycheck. They don't feel

451
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 1: bad for you when you're you know, coughing through a mask,

452
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 1: if you're trying to go to the gym after being

453
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 1: depressed for months and months after losing your job, after

454
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 1: watching your kid perhaps be near suicidal because he can't

455
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 1: see his Rhythmom care about any of that. It's all

456
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 1: about Joe Biden winning Democrats, good people in the White House.

457
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 1: That's what they care about. You're in the freedom hunt.

00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 1: the latest from Buck at buck sexton dot com. What

460
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 1: should we be expecting this week as the second impeachment

461
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 1: trial of Donald Trump happens after he's left office. We're

462
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 1: joined now by our friend Danielle de Suza Gill. She

463
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 1: is a commentator and author of a book, The Choice,

464
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 1: The Abortion Divide in America. Danielle, great to see you,

465
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 1: Thanks so much for me. So what are your expectations

466
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 1: for what we're going to be going through with this

467
00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 1: post presidency impeachment trial which is fun to say, but

468
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 1: not going to be fun to watch. Yeah, my expectation

469
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 1: is that President who President Trump will obviously be acquitted.

470
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 1: They won't have the vote but the left is clearly

471
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 1: doing this as a show trial. They know that not

472
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 1: only is this unconstitutional because he's not the president, but

473
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 1: they also won't have the votes, so they're clearly doing

474
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 1: this really just as a way to continue slandering him.

475
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 1: Many media people on the left know that in order

476
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 1: to keep their high ratings, they have to keep talking

477
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 1: about Trump and continue kind of keeping him on the

478
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 1: stage as someone to go against, even though Biden this president.

479
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 1: And do you think that the GOP is going to

480
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 1: actually be surprised by any of the votes that may

481
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 1: be cast in favor of in favor of conviction here,

482
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 1: we've had forty five of fifty GOP senators who have said,

483
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 1: you know what, we don't even think this is constitutional.

484
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 1: But that leaves a handful that may in fact cast

485
00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 1: their votes. So you could have the first ever, the

486
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 1: first ever failed conviction here, but one that would have

487
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 1: on the Senate side bipartisan support for a president's removal

488
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 1: and barring from office. Yeah, I don't think it'll be

489
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 1: too surprising. I mean, we know that a well Me,

490
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 1: for example, is going to vote for him to be

491
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 1: impeached because he hates Trump and so on, So I

492
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 1: think there'll there'll be those few, but the majority of

493
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 1: the Republican Party supports Trump and also use this as unconstitutional.

494
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 1: And even even so, Trump is not to blame for

495
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 1: inciting the riot. He clearly tweeted about people being peaceful

496
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 1: and asked people to be peaceful, and then Twitter removed

497
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 1: is tweet saying that, so clearly they don't actually care

498
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 1: about the facts of what happened. And many people in

499
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 1: the GOP are saying, well, this is gonna kind of

500
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 1: keep us from uniting and moving forward. But I don't

501
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 1: think if that's the best argument, and the best argument

502
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:00,720
Speaker 1: is that this is clearly unconstitutional one because he's not

503
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 1: the president. And number two, he is un guilty of

504
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 1: what you say. Speaking of Danielle to SUSA Gill, she's

505
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 1: the author of the Choice, the abortion Divide in America,

506
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 1: And Danielle, we've already seen some troubling stuff from the

507
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 1: Biden administration when it comes to the issue of life

508
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:20,960
Speaker 1: and being pro life. What's going on so far and

509
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 1: what are some of the concerns you have about where

510
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 1: this Biden presidency. You know, he's all about his Catholic faith.

511
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 1: They tell us he's all about being Grandpa Joe, they say,

512
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:32,840
Speaker 1: But then what we've seen so far is a lot

513
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 1: of very left wing stuff on immigration, on energy, but

514
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 1: also on the abortion issue. Absolutely Biden harris sake. They

515
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 1: love to hide behind the fact that Biden claims to

516
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:50,479
Speaker 1: be Catholic, yet he has after the Mexico Citizen Mexico

517
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 1: City Policy, Nadia America, so that we are funding abortions abroad.

518
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 1: So not only will we will we be funding them

519
00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 1: here but in other countries. And what this shows is

520
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 1: that America actually has some of the most radical abortion

521
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 1: policies in the world. Many other countries have more traditional

522
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 1: values than we do, they have more restrictions on abortion,

523
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 1: and yet we are exporting these very radical views to

524
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 1: other countries around the world by putting it, putting our

525
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 1: taxpayer dollars into that. So, I mean, it's very disturbing.

526
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 1: And many people who are Republicans before this said that, hey,

527
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 1: you know, Biden, isn't you know this this moderate that

528
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 1: you think he is, He actually is very radical in

529
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 1: all these things. And now that he's he's president, he's

530
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 1: proved to be that radical. He's included Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren,

531
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 1: all these people in leadership positions, you know, if we

532
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 1: if we will be on the abortion issues. So clearly

533
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 1: Biden is operating in a place where he's he's trying

534
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 1: to bring in a lot of the radical side of

535
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:51,959
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party while still trying to act like he's moderate,

536
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,320
Speaker 1: so he can kind of have the best of both

537
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:57,959
Speaker 1: worlds or something. But meanwhile, a lot of us are

538
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 1: seeing through that, and this kind of accoun catholic argument

539
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 1: really is just totally hollow. Yeah. I have been saying

540
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 1: for a while that as a Catholic, he actually has

541
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:09,120
Speaker 1: a responsibility if he was serious. They say he's devout.

542
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 1: Amy Coney Barrett is radical but on her Catholicism, but

543
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 1: but Joe Biden is devout. Do you think that people

544
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:20,799
Speaker 1: are going to start to see through this facade more

545
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:23,799
Speaker 1: as Biden, as you said, pushes further and further to

546
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 1: the left, including on policies that are in direct contradiction

547
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:30,400
Speaker 1: to his allegedly Catholic beliefs. Yeah. I think it's laughable

548
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:33,400
Speaker 1: that the media is trying to create this caricature of

549
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 1: him as the most religious president we've ever had, the

550
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 1: most Catholic president or something, posting photos of him sitting

551
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:43,680
Speaker 1: you know, in a church and so on, as if

552
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 1: this kind of makes him, you know, a true religious believer.

553
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:51,400
Speaker 1: And the reality is that his policies go completely against that.

554
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 1: And I think that in order for people to see that,

555
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 1: they don't have to look too far. It's really front

556
00:34:57,239 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 1: and center. Only a few days into being president it

557
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:02,960
Speaker 1: did he did? He do that? And he's issued all

558
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:06,600
Speaker 1: kinds of executive orders. So no, I think it's really

559
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:08,799
Speaker 1: just a chayed by the media to make him seem

560
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:11,480
Speaker 1: as though he's the great unifier. And you know, Worke

561
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:15,880
Speaker 1: priligion into this, but he clearly clearly does not consider

562
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:18,799
Speaker 1: his faith to be central to anything that he does,

563
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 1: uses it as a shield to avoid criticism. But well,

564
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 1: we'll continue to stay on it, Danielle, just use a

565
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 1: guil author of the choice, Danielle. Great to see you,

566
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:30,680

570
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:48,840
Speaker 1: New Deal situation. You got Jen sacki White House Press secretary,

571
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 1: who has had some trouble with the circling back, and

572
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:55,920
Speaker 1: the ums and the odds and the UMS people are

573
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 1: pointing out that if your job is to be the

574
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:04,399
Speaker 1: community the primary user of the microphone for the White

575
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:06,400
Speaker 1: House and the West Wing, you should have a greater

576
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:11,040
Speaker 1: fluency of speech. Perhaps, But nonetheless, here we are, and

577
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:15,879
Speaker 1: she's up there mostly getting what you would recognize very

578
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:22,319
Speaker 1: quickly as a very fluffy, friendly questions like, ah, is

579
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 1: Joe Biden just totally in love with his dog or

580
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:26,399
Speaker 1: does he just think his dog is the greatest dog

581
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 1: of all dogs? Just tell us, And that's what you're

582
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 1: gonna get from the press for four years, because they

583
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:34,399
Speaker 1: really think their job now is to assist the Biden

584
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 1: administration to stay in power and get its policies done.

585
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:40,600
Speaker 1: Speaking truth to power is the opposite of what they

586
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:43,120
Speaker 1: think their jobs are. Let's all be very clear about

587
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 1: that right now. But occasionally there will be because there

588
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 1: are still a few outlets left that have some access

589
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 1: and some credibility to ask real questions. And an example

590
00:36:57,160 --> 00:37:01,800
Speaker 1: of that would certainly they be Fox News and Peter Doocey,

591
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:05,640
Speaker 1: the new White House correspondent for Fox News, and he

592
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:08,520
Speaker 1: got a lot of a lot of pushback from other

593
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:12,080
Speaker 1: journalists for asking this question. But this is an excellent

594
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 1: question because you've heard this many times. Whenever the Democrats

595
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:18,839
Speaker 1: get pushed into a corner on the jobs that are

596
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 1: lost and the downside of their Green New Deal madness,

597
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 1: the always go, well, you know, John Curry will say

598
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:32,120
Speaker 1: the energy workers of you know, I spoke to my

599
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:35,720
Speaker 1: gardener and he said that he knows somebody who once

600
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 1: was near somebody who was on an oil rig. And

601
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:44,880
Speaker 1: while we may cost that person their job making ninety

602
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:49,680
Speaker 1: thousand dollars a year with good benefits, perhaps we can

603
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 1: have them work in a Chinese solar assembly plant for

604
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:57,759
Speaker 1: fifty cents a day and save the planet. I mean,

605
00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:02,120
Speaker 1: that's basically what they're telling you. Your job's gone, but

606
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:04,719
Speaker 1: don't worry. There's gonna be some other Green New Deal job.

607
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 1: It's gonna be way better. The Green New Deal job

608
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:10,080
Speaker 1: is gonna be way better for you. Okay, there's the

609
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 1: green who pays, who pays rent? In a few weeks,

610
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 1: Does that imaginary Green New Deal job pay for the jobs,

611
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 1: pay for the rents of the people that lost their

612
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 1: jobs because of this? No. M Peter Doocey high five

613
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:30,000
Speaker 1: and a hat tip to them. Ask Jensaki A very straightforward,

614
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:32,840
Speaker 1: very important question play too. Why is it that the

615
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:38,280
Speaker 1: Biden administration is gonna let the thousands of fossil fuel

616
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 1: industry workers, whether it's pipeline workers or construction workers, who

617
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 1: are either out of work or will soon be out

618
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 1: of work because will bid EO when it is and

619
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:50,959
Speaker 1: where it is that they can go for their green job,

620
00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 1: and that is something the administration has promised. There is

621
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 1: now a gap, So I'm just curious when that happens,

622
00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 1: when those people can count on that. Well, I'd certainly

623
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 1: welcome you to present your data of all the thousands

624
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:07,600
Speaker 1: and thousands of people who won't be getting a green job.

625
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:10,000
Speaker 1: Maybe next time you're here you can present that he

626
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:11,960
Speaker 1: said that they would be getting green jobs. So I'm

627
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:15,439
Speaker 1: just asking when that happened. Richard Trunka, who is a friend,

628
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:18,600
Speaker 1: longtime friend of Joe Biden, says about that day one

629
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:22,440
Speaker 1: Keystone EO, he says, I wish he the president had

630
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:24,960
Speaker 1: shared that work carefully with the thing that he did

631
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 1: second by saying here's where we are creating the jobs.

632
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:33,720
Speaker 1: So there's partial evidence from Richard Trunka. Well, you didn't

633
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:36,320
Speaker 1: include all of his interview would you like to include

634
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:39,880
Speaker 1: the rest? So how about this. The Laborer's International Union

635
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:42,799
Speaker 1: of North America said the Keystone decision will cost one

636
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 1: thousand existing union jobs and ten thousand projected construction jobs. Well,

637
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:51,480
Speaker 1: what mister Trunkuka also indicated in the same interview was

638
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:54,760
Speaker 1: that President Biden has proposed a climate plan with transformative

639
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 1: investments and infrastructure and laid out a plan that will

640
00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:00,600
Speaker 1: not only create millions of good union jobs also help

641
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:05,759
Speaker 1: tackle the climate crisis. Yeah, so like here's a thing like, yes,

642
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:10,920
Speaker 1: like you you like poor people with your union jobs

643
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:15,399
Speaker 1: on the Keystone, the IY the Ikey pipeline thing that

644
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 1: makes all the goo and the mess for the environment,

645
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:21,880
Speaker 1: You're like totally going to like have this really nice,

646
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:25,560
Speaker 1: like awesome green New deal job at some point in

647
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:28,680
Speaker 1: the future. We just like don't know when. But Biden's

648
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 1: like totally smart and really smart about the jobs, and

649
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:36,120
Speaker 1: there's gonna be these green New Deal jobs for you.

650
00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:40,160
Speaker 1: So just like just like take a chill, you know, Yeah,

651
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:43,719
Speaker 1: I know, the mortgage payments totally. It's really hard, but like,

652
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:49,960
Speaker 1: you know, that's that's the Biden administration on policy when

653
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:52,560
Speaker 1: it comes to energy. In a nutshell. Sorry, that we've

654
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:55,960
Speaker 1: done something based on ideological reasons that's absurd, that are

655
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:58,320
Speaker 1: absurd in the first place. Oh, the world is melting

656
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:02,840
Speaker 1: climate change, and it's going to really hurt people, cost

657
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 1: them jobs. They no longer have employee employment, they no

658
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:09,800
Speaker 1: longer have salaries and benefits, and can't feed their families,

659
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:11,880
Speaker 1: can't pay their bills at a time when the country

660
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:14,400
Speaker 1: is already suffering at least some people in the country

661
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:18,400
Speaker 1: are suffering economically a lot. But they defer the political

662
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:23,759
Speaker 1: backlash to this by saying, Oh, don't worry, we're gonna

663
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:27,719
Speaker 1: get you this awesome other job soon. We're gonna get

664
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:33,240
Speaker 1: you this awesome other job any day now. Really is

665
00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:35,560
Speaker 1: is that what's gonna happen. They're gonna get them an

666
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:39,560
Speaker 1: awesome job any day now. Huh. And they brought up

667
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:43,880
Speaker 1: the Trump get interview. This guy's a big, big union boss,

668
00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:48,120
Speaker 1: And here's what he actually said back in the first

669
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:52,480
Speaker 1: days after the Biden inauguration, when the first thing bind

670
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:54,560
Speaker 1: does gets rid of the Keystone XEL pipeline and kind

671
00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:59,440
Speaker 1: of just remind everybody the Keystone XEL pipeline is in

672
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:02,759
Speaker 1: most people minds being canceled because or was canceled by

673
00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:05,920
Speaker 1: Biden because of climate change and they need to combat

674
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:11,879
Speaker 1: CO two emissions. Every analysis of the Keystone XL pipeline,

675
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:18,520
Speaker 1: done by independent agencies, by scientists, by everyone who's looked

676
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:23,200
Speaker 1: at it, including the State Department under the Obama administration,

677
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:29,359
Speaker 1: said that canceling the Keystone XL pipeline would result in

678
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:33,879
Speaker 1: greater overall CO two emissions. The oil still comes out

679
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:36,000
Speaker 1: of the ground, it still gets burned for use in

680
00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:39,920
Speaker 1: fossil fuels, but now it will be even more costly

681
00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:45,759
Speaker 1: and more cooto intensive to transport the oil. But they

682
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:48,319
Speaker 1: convinced a lot of ignorant people, a lot of Yeah,

683
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:50,719
Speaker 1: I just like want all the trees to breathe the

684
00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:54,600
Speaker 1: fresh error and like not have the COO two. But wait,

685
00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:57,600
Speaker 1: don't trees take in COO two. I get so confused.

686
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:03,120
Speaker 1: And they wanted to make those people, the environmentalists left,

687
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:04,759
Speaker 1: feel like they got a win, and this was an

688
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:08,120
Speaker 1: easy win. So shut it down. This is just pure

689
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:12,600
Speaker 1: emotion and ideology. Shut it down. Now, with that established,

690
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:18,160
Speaker 1: here is Richard Trumpka explaining exactly what this means. Well,

691
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:21,160
Speaker 1: what happens to the thousands of jobs? Play eight. I

692
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 1: wish he hadn't done that on the first day because

693
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:28,640
Speaker 1: the Labors International was right. It did and will cost

694
00:43:28,719 --> 00:43:32,120
Speaker 1: us jobs in the process. If I wish he had

695
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:36,800
Speaker 1: paired that more carefully with the thing that he did. Second,

696
00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:39,799
Speaker 1: by saying here's where we're creating jobs. We can do

697
00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:42,439
Speaker 1: mine reclamation, we can fix leaks, and we can fix

698
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:46,000
Speaker 1: seeps and create hundreds of thousands of jobs in doing

699
00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:48,920
Speaker 1: all of that stuff. You think Biden realizes that was

700
00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:56,520
Speaker 1: a mistake, that announcement. I think so yes. So that's

701
00:43:56,560 --> 00:44:01,680
Speaker 1: the interview. I'm just saying, you know, there's Richard Trunk,

702
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:04,960
Speaker 1: a big union guy who's like, uh, they can promise

703
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:06,239
Speaker 1: a lot of things. I mean, I just want to

704
00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:08,839
Speaker 1: know if I if I walked into your office, your

705
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:11,400
Speaker 1: your place of work, your place of business, wherever that was,

706
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:16,279
Speaker 1: and I said, hey, I'm from the Biden administration. We're

707
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:20,279
Speaker 1: gonna fire you today, but we're like totally gonna give

708
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:24,720
Speaker 1: you this awesome green job at some point in the future.

709
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:27,760
Speaker 1: We don't know where, we don't know what your salary

710
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:30,120
Speaker 1: will be, and we don't know when. But you're like,

711
00:44:30,239 --> 00:44:32,640
Speaker 1: Toad's gonna have this awesome green new deal job. So

712
00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:36,360
Speaker 1: just don't worry about it. How would you feel would

713
00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:39,279
Speaker 1: you feel like that's a that's a fair a fair

714
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:43,400
Speaker 1: trade off. It's a good thing to present to you.

715
00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:45,719
Speaker 1: Of course, not if someone showed up to me and said, yeah,

716
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:47,880
Speaker 1: you know, your whole media career and all this stuff,

717
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:51,239
Speaker 1: that's gonna go away, But we are totally gonna hook

718
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:53,800
Speaker 1: you up with a job at a solar power plant

719
00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:55,239
Speaker 1: at some point of the Oh, you don't know it.

720
00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:57,239
Speaker 1: You've never worked in a solar It's gonna be great.

721
00:44:57,520 --> 00:44:59,719
Speaker 1: You know, they have them in China and people are

722
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:03,239
Speaker 1: loving the manual labor they have to do day in

723
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:05,799
Speaker 1: and day out at those assembly lines for very low pay,

724
00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:07,600
Speaker 1: so it will be great here too. It would be

725
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:10,400
Speaker 1: really high paying jobs. Don't worry. Oh, you have no

726
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:13,520
Speaker 1: skills in that area, Well you'll develop some, you know,

727
00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:15,319
Speaker 1: maybe learn to code or something. I don't know. Just

728
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:19,280
Speaker 1: shut up. We're saving the planet. That's the real logic

729
00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:21,120
Speaker 1: of the argument here. That's how it works, that's how

730
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:26,680
Speaker 1: it unfolds. I think that's a problem. I think that

731
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:30,400
Speaker 1: that shows how disconnected the Democrat Party really is from

732
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:33,520
Speaker 1: people who are actually in the working class. They don't

733
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:35,479
Speaker 1: care when they lose their jobs. They don't care about

734
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:39,600
Speaker 1: the suffering that they have, and we have to hold

735
00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:42,480
Speaker 1: them to account for this because there are only a

736
00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:46,760
Speaker 1: few people, and as I said, props to Peter Doocey,

737
00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:49,160
Speaker 1: there're only a few people that even have the access

738
00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:51,840
Speaker 1: and the willingness to ask real questions of the government.

739
00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:55,000
Speaker 1: The answer to the question what happens to people who

740
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:58,680
Speaker 1: lose their jobs because of the climate change mania of

741
00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:03,840
Speaker 1: Biden in the Democrat is they don't have green jobs

742
00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:07,080
Speaker 1: to give them. That's the real answer. You lose your

743
00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:09,880
Speaker 1: job and maybe one day we'll get you some other job,

744
00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:14,279
Speaker 1: and in the meantime, tough for you union workers. That's

745
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:18,359
Speaker 1: what the Democrat Party is actually saying without saying it

746
00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:21,400
Speaker 1: got to save the planet. Sorry. Yeah, we have like

747
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:23,640
Speaker 1: all the great green jobs though, and they're like so

748
00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:27,879
Speaker 1: green and like you're just gonna love them. I don't

749
00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:30,000
Speaker 1: think Zach bombs win over a lot of union guys

750
00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:33,319
Speaker 1: with that one. You're in the freedom height. Thanks for

751
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:36,200
Speaker 1: listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcast to get the

752
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:40,799
Speaker 1: latest from Buck at buck sexton dot com. That if

753
00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:43,279
Speaker 1: we can get seventy to eighty five percent of the

754
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:47,040
Speaker 1: population vaccinated and get to what we would hope would

755
00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:50,560
Speaker 1: be to a degree of herd immunity, which really is

756
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:55,000
Speaker 1: an umbrella or a veil of protection against the community

757
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:58,480
Speaker 1: where the level of virus is so low it's not

758
00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:01,520
Speaker 1: a threat at all. Then at that point you could

759
00:47:01,560 --> 00:47:03,719
Speaker 1: start thinking in terms of not having to have a

760
00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:08,239
Speaker 1: uniform wearing of masks. But we're certainly not near there yet.

761
00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:11,160
Speaker 1: When do I think that would occur? You know, it's

762
00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:14,239
Speaker 1: very difficult to predict, Bret. But if everything falls into

763
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:16,880
Speaker 1: the right place and we get this under control, it

764
00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:19,800
Speaker 1: is conceivable that you might be able to pull back

765
00:47:20,120 --> 00:47:22,960
Speaker 1: a bit on some of the public health measures as

766
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:27,160
Speaker 1: we get into the late fall of this year. Late

767
00:47:27,160 --> 00:47:32,000
Speaker 1: fall aka the winter a ka mask up another year, Plebs,

768
00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:35,000
Speaker 1: get ready for it. We're gonna mark this one down.

769
00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:38,400
Speaker 1: You think I'm gonna get vaccinated or people around me,

770
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:41,960
Speaker 1: You're gonna get vaccinated and everything's gonna be fine. Right

771
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:44,840
Speaker 1: then I can go Nope. You'll say, well, hold on

772
00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:49,080
Speaker 1: a second. If if we really get down to you know,

773
00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:51,840
Speaker 1: fifty COVID deaths a month, one hundred COVID deaths a

774
00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:55,080
Speaker 1: month in this country, we're gonna we're not all going

775
00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:57,759
Speaker 1: out to wear masks. Then right, oh no, yes you are.

776
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:02,279
Speaker 1: You will mask up into they say, you can take

777
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:06,680
Speaker 1: that thing off. That's that's the rule, you see. It's

778
00:48:06,760 --> 00:48:09,359
Speaker 1: until they say so. They won't even give you a number.

779
00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:13,160
Speaker 1: They want to give you a real percentage. Fauci here

780
00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:18,560
Speaker 1: says seventy to eighty five percent. Okay, well, which is it?

781
00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:20,640
Speaker 1: That's a that's a pretty what are you talking about

782
00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:23,120
Speaker 1: three hundred and thirty billion people? That's a pretty big

783
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:26,360
Speaker 1: gap in there. So do we have to have seventy percent?

784
00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:30,279
Speaker 1: Or and how are we going to gauge that herd immunity? See,

785
00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:32,560
Speaker 1: they tell you it's about the data, but then you

786
00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:35,360
Speaker 1: start looking at it, you say, well what data? And

787
00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:38,400
Speaker 1: how are you getting it? And how are you analyzing it?

788
00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:43,640
Speaker 1: What are you really saying? They don't care. It's about control. See,

789
00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:47,040
Speaker 1: it's about they get to tell you what to do.

790
00:48:47,480 --> 00:48:51,680
Speaker 1: They get to fail repeatedly. And if you have any

791
00:48:51,680 --> 00:48:54,120
Speaker 1: problem with this, well you're the problem. If you have

792
00:48:54,160 --> 00:48:57,959
Speaker 1: any questions about this, that's on you, don't you see

793
00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:03,600
Speaker 1: You say, well, hold on a second, what's with that?

794
00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:07,920
Speaker 1: Why can't why can't they explain these things? Well, that's

795
00:49:07,920 --> 00:49:10,359
Speaker 1: because you're gonna be wearing a mask right now, under

796
00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:14,799
Speaker 1: the under the Fauciite regime, you will be wearing a mask. Men.

797
00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:16,880
Speaker 1: And if you say, oh buck, my state is not that,

798
00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:19,320
Speaker 1: get on a plane, you're gonna be wearing a mask.

799
00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:22,239
Speaker 1: Get on a mask transit You're gonna be wearing a

800
00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:26,200
Speaker 1: mask a lot of you know, stores and places, and

801
00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:29,480
Speaker 1: in some ways it'll be even more tense. When you

802
00:49:29,680 --> 00:49:31,960
Speaker 1: go into your local grocery store, you don't have to

803
00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:34,279
Speaker 1: wear a mask, but you go into you know, you

804
00:49:34,360 --> 00:49:38,680
Speaker 1: go into Costco, and you're not allowed in without a mask.

805
00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:42,359
Speaker 1: You wait, wait a second, what is this? How we're

806
00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:44,759
Speaker 1: really stopping virus now by some places and other Well,

807
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:46,480
Speaker 1: we've been doing that all along of course, right this

808
00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:48,759
Speaker 1: whole thing has just been a mess. People have not

809
00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:50,840
Speaker 1: been honest about the realities of this. The people in

810
00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:55,440
Speaker 1: charge are just delusional. But you're going to be masking

811
00:49:55,600 --> 00:49:59,440
Speaker 1: up for another year. I really had a minimum. I

812
00:49:59,480 --> 00:50:02,959
Speaker 1: think another year, and I'm not even sure it'll stop

813
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:06,480
Speaker 1: then because there'll be some COVID next winter. So yeah,

814
00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:08,319
Speaker 1: this is now the new normal. You gotta ask up,

815
00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:11,280
Speaker 1: you know, for notice, we've never gone through this before

816
00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:14,520
Speaker 1: in human history. We've gone We've gone with full scale

817
00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:17,320
Speaker 1: masking for this duration of time, this many people that

818
00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:21,920
Speaker 1: never happened before. Suddenly, suddenly the mask has been discovered

819
00:50:21,920 --> 00:50:24,840
Speaker 1: as the great defeature of pandemics. But did it defeat

820
00:50:24,880 --> 00:50:29,800
Speaker 1: this pandemic? Did it even noticeably slow the pandemic anywhere

821
00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:33,840
Speaker 1: you can point to? Well, you ask these questions and

822
00:50:33,880 --> 00:50:35,640
Speaker 1: they yell at you because they're wrong, but they don't

823
00:50:35,680 --> 00:50:37,840
Speaker 1: want to admit that because they're so much believing in

824
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:41,680
Speaker 1: the science. I'm not even gonna play it for you today.

825
00:50:41,680 --> 00:50:44,200
Speaker 1: There's another video of a guy. There's a woman, elderly

826
00:50:44,200 --> 00:50:47,160
Speaker 1: woman and her daughter who's probably in her forties or fifties,

827
00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:51,880
Speaker 1: and and he does the mask, he takes out. You know,

828
00:50:51,920 --> 00:50:54,800
Speaker 1: you're in you're in a store and you don't have

829
00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:57,640
Speaker 1: a mask on. It starts videoing or and I mean,

830
00:50:57,680 --> 00:50:59,920
Speaker 1: mask shamers are just the worst. This guy's video. And

831
00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:03,359
Speaker 1: somebody who has what a probably a one in ten

832
00:51:03,400 --> 00:51:07,439
Speaker 1: thousand shot of actually being COVID positive right now, So

833
00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:10,280
Speaker 1: think about that, the real of any one individual person

834
00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:13,000
Speaker 1: just randomly who has no symptoms randomly having COVID's very

835
00:51:13,120 --> 00:51:16,680
Speaker 1: very small by numbers, by percentages that they actually have

836
00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:21,439
Speaker 1: COVID and you're harassing this person and acting like they're

837
00:51:21,440 --> 00:51:24,120
Speaker 1: the reason that there's been this pandemic. You're you're putting

838
00:51:24,120 --> 00:51:26,880
Speaker 1: it all on them in that moment because they won't comply.

839
00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:30,719
Speaker 1: This is this is a hysteria within the brain. But

840
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:32,759
Speaker 1: the people that believe that the world's going to end

841
00:51:32,760 --> 00:51:35,120
Speaker 1: from climate change, or the same people that think that

842
00:51:35,160 --> 00:51:38,360
Speaker 1: if you don't wear a mask, you are the cause

843
00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:40,560
Speaker 1: of the pandemic that's killed hundreds of thousands of people,

844
00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:42,960
Speaker 1: that one moment they catch you not wearing a mask.

845
00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:46,040
Speaker 1: Everybody goes through lots of times when they're not wearing

846
00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:50,759
Speaker 1: masks and exposing themselves, and you know that's just the

847
00:51:50,800 --> 00:51:53,719
Speaker 1: way it is. But you see, it's for show. It's

848
00:51:53,800 --> 00:51:56,440
Speaker 1: it's for the good people. Wear the mask is the

849
00:51:56,480 --> 00:51:59,160
Speaker 1: whole point. It's not about stopping the virus. It's a

850
00:51:59,200 --> 00:52:03,759
Speaker 1: big virtue signal you're a good, smart person. Wear that

851
00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:07,120
Speaker 1: mask all the time. Sure it's a great, great idea,

852
00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:10,000
Speaker 1: but yeah, Fauci says maybe seventy to eighty five percent,

853
00:52:10,080 --> 00:52:12,359
Speaker 1: maybe late fall, maybe maybe maybe maybe. Do you think

854
00:52:12,360 --> 00:52:16,080
Speaker 1: he's gonna move those goalposts? You will be wearing a

855
00:52:16,120 --> 00:52:20,800
Speaker 1: mask for at least another year. Under this Biden regime.

856
00:52:22,280 --> 00:52:25,040
Speaker 1: So I hope everyone's either in the gym, and that

857
00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:26,320
Speaker 1: in a lot of places means they want you to

858
00:52:26,360 --> 00:52:28,479
Speaker 1: wear it outside too. Summertime, got to wear a mask,

859
00:52:28,840 --> 00:52:31,640
Speaker 1: gonna gather people, got to wear a mask. People are

860
00:52:31,640 --> 00:52:36,239
Speaker 1: out of their minds, they're crazy. Oh the science, Yeah,

861
00:52:36,239 --> 00:52:39,320
Speaker 1: it's work. It's worked, wonders, hasn't it? All the masking

862
00:52:39,320 --> 00:52:41,879
Speaker 1: in New York and California and all these different states? Oh,

863
00:52:41,960 --> 00:52:43,880
Speaker 1: it's you know, it's done so much to slow the

864
00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:47,920
Speaker 1: spread of this thing. And who really believes that the

865
00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:49,560
Speaker 1: only thing that really works to slow the spread of

866
00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:52,279
Speaker 1: this thing is limiting human contact with each other? So

867
00:52:52,320 --> 00:52:54,239
Speaker 1: you can do it if you're gonna keep people locked

868
00:52:54,239 --> 00:52:56,680
Speaker 1: in their homes for long periods of time and prevent

869
00:52:56,800 --> 00:53:00,879
Speaker 1: visitors and prevent travelers from other countries to come there. So, yes,

870
00:53:01,160 --> 00:53:03,560
Speaker 1: you can lock down an island like New Zealand and

871
00:53:03,719 --> 00:53:06,239
Speaker 1: not have a lot of COVID. You're not locking down

872
00:53:06,280 --> 00:53:08,359
Speaker 1: three hundred and thirty million people in America when this

873
00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:10,120
Speaker 1: is already spread within the population. This is what I

874
00:53:10,160 --> 00:53:12,439
Speaker 1: was saying all along. The whole test and trace thing

875
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:16,239
Speaker 1: was always absurd because it had already gotten to the

876
00:53:16,239 --> 00:53:19,960
Speaker 1: point where it was endemic as part of the pandemic,

877
00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:23,480
Speaker 1: it was already spreading within the population. So how are

878
00:53:23,480 --> 00:53:26,360
Speaker 1: you going to test and trace something where there's thousands,

879
00:53:26,400 --> 00:53:28,480
Speaker 1: tens of thousands of cases every day. How many tests

880
00:53:28,520 --> 00:53:30,960
Speaker 1: and tracers do you really need for that? You're gonna

881
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:32,920
Speaker 1: need more PEP. You're gonna need more tests and tracers

882
00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:36,359
Speaker 1: than you have people with the disease. It's crazy. You're

883
00:53:36,400 --> 00:53:38,040
Speaker 1: never gonna be able to track all those people down.

884
00:53:39,719 --> 00:53:42,399
Speaker 1: This was just applying logic and reason to it. How

885
00:53:42,440 --> 00:53:46,359
Speaker 1: successful has the a test and trace program been? How

886
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:48,520
Speaker 1: successful has that been? I just I'm just wondering. You

887
00:53:48,560 --> 00:53:51,120
Speaker 1: know how you were told by the experts that that

888
00:53:51,200 --> 00:53:52,759
Speaker 1: was really important. You know how you're told by the

889
00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:56,680
Speaker 1: experts that that was necessary for getting the pandemic under control.

890
00:53:57,040 --> 00:54:01,680
Speaker 1: Really that how that work out for us? But now

891
00:54:01,680 --> 00:54:03,759
Speaker 1: they're saying, oh, we're going to start opening school opening

892
00:54:03,800 --> 00:54:05,839
Speaker 1: schools in New York later on this month, New York

893
00:54:05,880 --> 00:54:08,640
Speaker 1: City up to a certain grade level. You know, now

894
00:54:08,640 --> 00:54:11,520
Speaker 1: we've got this a little bit of a change in opinion.

895
00:54:11,560 --> 00:54:16,080
Speaker 1: It's because one things are getting the virus is slowing

896
00:54:16,120 --> 00:54:19,120
Speaker 1: down naturally, and as a result of the vaccine, but

897
00:54:19,160 --> 00:54:24,280
Speaker 1: also naturally within its cycle, and beyond that, the political

898
00:54:24,280 --> 00:54:28,399
Speaker 1: consequences of continuing to ruin people's lives when they can

899
00:54:28,440 --> 00:54:31,239
Speaker 1: see that what the ruining of the lives was not

900
00:54:31,360 --> 00:54:35,759
Speaker 1: necessary through the lockdowns, but they did this anyway. That

901
00:54:35,960 --> 00:54:38,960
Speaker 1: comes with consequences and costs of its own, and people

902
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:40,839
Speaker 1: like Governor Cuomo of New York don't want to pay

903
00:54:40,880 --> 00:54:46,520
Speaker 1: that cost. This is the Fuck Sexton Show podcast. Follow

915
00:55:25,680 --> 00:55:28,160
Speaker 1: I know? For MSNBC and CNN, The New York times,

916
00:55:28,560 --> 00:55:33,040
Speaker 1: it's ratings, it's a little nostalgia trip of Orange Man Bad.

917
00:55:33,200 --> 00:55:35,960
Speaker 1: You know, fine, but what do you think there's there's

918
00:55:35,960 --> 00:55:39,120
Speaker 1: a bigger or a more important strategy at work for

919
00:55:39,120 --> 00:55:43,960
Speaker 1: the Democrats. And for the Democrats, I really think it's

920
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:47,600
Speaker 1: important for anyone who doesn't live in the confines of

921
00:55:47,640 --> 00:55:51,720
Speaker 1: a complete blue pill environment to understand that these people

922
00:55:51,719 --> 00:55:55,320
Speaker 1: are really deep in their own imaginations about the realities

923
00:55:55,320 --> 00:55:57,880
Speaker 1: of what has happened in recent times. I think they

924
00:55:57,920 --> 00:56:01,440
Speaker 1: see themselves as dancing on the grave of their nemesis,

925
00:56:02,280 --> 00:56:05,400
Speaker 1: and their aim, they think, is to tarnish his reputation

926
00:56:05,520 --> 00:56:08,600
Speaker 1: so much that he can't do what he is best at,

927
00:56:08,680 --> 00:56:12,359
Speaker 1: which is to go and have big rallies and move

928
00:56:12,400 --> 00:56:15,800
Speaker 1: a coalition of voters that actually took a significant chunk

929
00:56:15,880 --> 00:56:19,440
Speaker 1: out of Democrats' hides. Didn't change the election outcome for

930
00:56:19,600 --> 00:56:23,200
Speaker 1: him apparently, but it sure did change a lot when

931
00:56:23,239 --> 00:56:26,000
Speaker 1: it goes county by county and district by district. I

932
00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:29,080
Speaker 1: think that's what they fear in the twenty twenty two midterms,

933
00:56:29,520 --> 00:56:33,480
Speaker 1: policy wise and politics wise. They're diving deep on their

934
00:56:33,520 --> 00:56:35,920
Speaker 1: side in a way that I think imperils their chances

935
00:56:35,920 --> 00:56:37,600
Speaker 1: in the mid term and I say, God bless them

936
00:56:37,600 --> 00:56:41,160
Speaker 1: for it. You think there's any real way that it

937
00:56:41,239 --> 00:56:45,080
Speaker 1: seems Liz Cheney has become a kind of leader within

938
00:56:45,160 --> 00:56:51,040
Speaker 1: the GOP of the Trump Purge movement. You think that

939
00:56:51,040 --> 00:56:55,200
Speaker 1: they're gonna they're gonna wrest control away from the Trump

940
00:56:55,280 --> 00:56:57,680
Speaker 1: is within the GOP over time or is that a

941
00:56:57,680 --> 00:57:01,680
Speaker 1: fool's Errand I really don't think that they'll succeed in

942
00:57:01,760 --> 00:57:04,120
Speaker 1: trying to do that. As you know, I have a

943
00:57:04,160 --> 00:57:07,720
Speaker 1: significant part of my life that is friendly and loyal

944
00:57:07,719 --> 00:57:11,319
Speaker 1: to the Cheney family. I don't understand or support the

945
00:57:11,400 --> 00:57:16,480
Speaker 1: politics of the idea that any of this impeachment process

946
00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:20,920
Speaker 1: was legitimate. I mean, when you have the president on video,

947
00:57:21,040 --> 00:57:24,280
Speaker 1: in his own words, telling people to peaceably go about

948
00:57:24,320 --> 00:57:28,720
Speaker 1: their business, pretty hard to say how that rises to

949
00:57:28,800 --> 00:57:31,000
Speaker 1: the level of what was described, whether it's by a

950
00:57:31,080 --> 00:57:34,840
Speaker 1: representative Cheney or anyone else, as impeachable or some grave

951
00:57:35,200 --> 00:57:39,840
Speaker 1: sin against our country. And to try to remove a

952
00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:43,840
Speaker 1: civilian from public office is about as nonsensical as it gets.

953
00:57:43,880 --> 00:57:47,960
Speaker 1: So it's all about tarring the brand. I don't think

954
00:57:48,160 --> 00:57:51,720
Speaker 1: the brand is hard among Republicans. A huge percentage of

955
00:57:51,720 --> 00:57:55,840
Speaker 1: Republicans identify with the Trump agenda identify in many many

956
00:57:55,880 --> 00:57:59,240
Speaker 1: ways with the man because they recognize that what he

957
00:57:59,280 --> 00:58:03,600
Speaker 1: said was true. They're not coming for him alone, They're

958
00:58:03,600 --> 00:58:06,360
Speaker 1: coming for all of us. And when he was in office,

959
00:58:06,680 --> 00:58:09,800
Speaker 1: he was taking the flak on our behalf. And I

960
00:58:09,840 --> 00:58:11,680
Speaker 1: think there's a lot of people who see the reality

961
00:58:11,720 --> 00:58:14,440
Speaker 1: in that statement now. And Stephen I also and we're

962
00:58:14,440 --> 00:58:17,200
Speaker 1: speaking of Stephen Yates. He was Deputy National Security Advisor

963
00:58:17,240 --> 00:58:19,800
Speaker 1: to Vice President Cheney and the Bush administration, and he's

964
00:58:19,800 --> 00:58:24,200
Speaker 1: the principal of DC International Advisory. I think it's important

965
00:58:24,200 --> 00:58:26,240
Speaker 1: for everybody to know because we've we've had this four

966
00:58:26,320 --> 00:58:29,680
Speaker 1: years of Orange Man bad or some would say Orange

967
00:58:29,720 --> 00:58:32,520
Speaker 1: Man worse than Hitler, or you know, all this kind

968
00:58:32,520 --> 00:58:35,640
Speaker 1: of crazy, the Trump deranged stuff that's been out there.

969
00:58:35,800 --> 00:58:38,320
Speaker 1: I've never seen so much, well, I should say it's

970
00:58:38,320 --> 00:58:40,200
Speaker 1: been a long time since I've seen so much hatred

971
00:58:40,280 --> 00:58:43,000
Speaker 1: heaped on a politician. A big part of this, though,

972
00:58:43,520 --> 00:58:47,200
Speaker 1: was that the anti Trump voices in the corporate media

973
00:58:47,240 --> 00:58:52,000
Speaker 1: and the Democrat Party were pretending that well, other Republicans

974
00:58:52,520 --> 00:58:55,440
Speaker 1: were much more genteel and we could get along with better.

975
00:58:55,760 --> 00:58:58,880
Speaker 1: I seem to recall during the Bush Cheney era, when

976
00:58:58,880 --> 00:59:02,120
Speaker 1: I was in the CIA that people wanted in the

977
00:59:02,160 --> 00:59:04,880
Speaker 1: media Dick Cheney to be tried at the Hague for

978
00:59:05,000 --> 00:59:06,920
Speaker 1: being a war criminal. Can you just give us a

979
00:59:06,960 --> 00:59:08,520
Speaker 1: little bit of a little bit of a taste of

980
00:59:08,560 --> 00:59:12,160
Speaker 1: how okay, Orange Man bad? But Trump? I mean, but

981
00:59:12,400 --> 00:59:15,400
Speaker 1: Push and Cheney were also worse than Hitler and should

982
00:59:15,400 --> 00:59:17,680
Speaker 1: spend the rest of their life in prison two according

983
00:59:17,720 --> 00:59:21,080
Speaker 1: to the corporate media and the Democrat Party. Absolutely correct.

984
00:59:21,280 --> 00:59:24,240
Speaker 1: So back in those times there were people might not

985
00:59:24,360 --> 00:59:27,120
Speaker 1: remember even the names of these groups, but Code Pink

986
00:59:27,520 --> 00:59:32,000
Speaker 1: and some other organizations were having their marches, were having

987
00:59:32,360 --> 00:59:37,520
Speaker 1: loud and pretty prominent demonstrations in DC, outside the White House,

988
00:59:37,520 --> 00:59:42,200
Speaker 1: around the Capitol wherever necessary, and they were making all

989
00:59:42,280 --> 00:59:45,280
Speaker 1: kinds of accusations blood for oil, all kinds of stuff

990
00:59:46,440 --> 00:59:49,840
Speaker 1: that related to Iraq, that related to war on terror.

991
00:59:50,640 --> 00:59:54,640
Speaker 1: All of that stuff wasn't Dick Cheney. It wasn't Dick

992
00:59:54,720 --> 00:59:59,360
Speaker 1: Cheney secretly. Stephen wasn't Dick Cheney secretly like drinking the

993
00:59:59,360 --> 01:00:02,000
Speaker 1: blood of Chill Dan while he was watching his Haliburton

994
01:00:02,080 --> 01:00:04,880
Speaker 1: stock skyrocket for starting the ward. I mean, there was

995
01:00:04,920 --> 01:00:08,600
Speaker 1: really crazy stuff out there and pretty mainstream outlets about

996
01:00:08,600 --> 01:00:11,800
Speaker 1: how he was Darth Vader at right. This was the

997
01:00:11,840 --> 01:00:16,080
Speaker 1: way it was. That was actually his happiest moment when

998
01:00:16,120 --> 01:00:19,000
Speaker 1: the meme of him as Darth Vader started to circulate.

999
01:00:19,160 --> 01:00:21,480
Speaker 1: He actually thought that was kind of cool that a

1000
01:00:21,600 --> 01:00:24,880
Speaker 1: guy that was somewhat nerdy and wonky through most of

1001
01:00:24,920 --> 01:00:28,600
Speaker 1: his career had gone full cultural mainstream and being an

1002
01:00:28,840 --> 01:00:31,440
Speaker 1: iconic meme like that Darth Vader things. He thought that

1003
01:00:31,480 --> 01:00:34,160
Speaker 1: was kind of funny. But the war criminal stuff, the

1004
01:00:34,320 --> 01:00:36,800
Speaker 1: profiteering off of things. Here's a guy who was a

1005
01:00:36,840 --> 01:00:40,720
Speaker 1: Secretary of Defense, loved and honored our troops everywhere we

1006
01:00:40,800 --> 01:00:44,360
Speaker 1: possibly went, sort of like Donald Trump had done during

1007
01:00:44,440 --> 01:00:47,760
Speaker 1: his tenure as president. There's these leaders that revere the

1008
01:00:47,800 --> 01:00:51,080
Speaker 1: men and women who keep us safe, and so the

1009
01:00:51,120 --> 01:00:55,480
Speaker 1: idea that they get accused of profiteering or seeking advantage

1010
01:00:55,680 --> 01:00:57,720
Speaker 1: really sort of hurt them at a personal level. That

1011
01:00:57,800 --> 01:00:59,920
Speaker 1: was the only area really where it kind of got

1012
01:01:00,080 --> 01:01:03,120
Speaker 1: through the tough exterior. I think that end when they

1013
01:01:03,160 --> 01:01:06,080
Speaker 1: went after his family, when his ire would really come up.

1014
01:01:06,320 --> 01:01:08,840
Speaker 1: But yeah, the Left really through the whole kit and

1015
01:01:08,880 --> 01:01:11,280
Speaker 1: caboodle at him. And when I say the left, I

1016
01:01:11,280 --> 01:01:14,640
Speaker 1: mean Democrats in Congress. And for anyone is wondering, I

1017
01:01:14,680 --> 01:01:17,560
Speaker 1: just I bring this up, Stephen, because the return to

1018
01:01:17,680 --> 01:01:19,640
Speaker 1: normalcy that we were supposed to be promised in a

1019
01:01:19,640 --> 01:01:22,480
Speaker 1: Biden administration, there's no sense. I mean, it's just it's

1020
01:01:22,480 --> 01:01:25,440
Speaker 1: a purge of Republicans. You're evil, you're racist, you're awful.

1021
01:01:25,640 --> 01:01:27,840
Speaker 1: You know, you need to be deep platformed and fired

1022
01:01:27,840 --> 01:01:30,640
Speaker 1: and canceled. And it's not like Trump has gone and

1023
01:01:30,640 --> 01:01:34,600
Speaker 1: now everyone's going to start being nice to conservatives. No. Well,

1024
01:01:34,640 --> 01:01:37,200
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, Nixon was of course impeached when

1025
01:01:37,240 --> 01:01:42,600
Speaker 1: I resigned, was about to be impeach and resigned. After Bush,

1026
01:01:42,640 --> 01:01:44,840
Speaker 1: there was sort of a cleansing because of a new

1027
01:01:44,920 --> 01:01:49,160
Speaker 1: Democrat wave was coming until the Republican Revolution balanced things

1028
01:01:49,200 --> 01:01:51,840
Speaker 1: out a bit on the hill. After Bush, there was

1029
01:01:51,880 --> 01:01:54,920
Speaker 1: a pretty heavy purge of things during the Obama years.

1030
01:01:55,560 --> 01:01:59,240
Speaker 1: And I remember traveling the world and occasionally would get

1031
01:01:59,320 --> 01:02:04,040
Speaker 1: shouted down by an outspoken liberal because of my association

1032
01:02:04,080 --> 01:02:05,919
Speaker 1: with the Bush White House. Even though I didn't work

1033
01:02:05,920 --> 01:02:09,520
Speaker 1: on the Iraq War, I somehow was identified as someone

1034
01:02:09,520 --> 01:02:13,880
Speaker 1: who needed to defend everything that was possibly done. And so, yeah,

1035
01:02:13,920 --> 01:02:18,200
Speaker 1: the return to normal means the world according to the left,

1036
01:02:18,640 --> 01:02:22,080
Speaker 1: and that only they are allowed to occupy the expensive,

1037
01:02:23,040 --> 01:02:26,919
Speaker 1: privileged positions of DC, New York and elsewhere. Yeah, Steve,

1038
01:02:26,920 --> 01:02:28,440
Speaker 1: for what it's worth, by the time I got to

1039
01:02:28,440 --> 01:02:31,680
Speaker 1: the Iraq office at the CIA, the country had already

1040
01:02:31,680 --> 01:02:35,120
Speaker 1: devolved into insurgency in Mayhem and there were you know,

1041
01:02:35,240 --> 01:02:39,240
Speaker 1: videotaping people's executions with chainsaws and broad daylight. But occasionally

1042
01:02:39,280 --> 01:02:41,600
Speaker 1: in DC somebody would sort of find out what I

1043
01:02:41,680 --> 01:02:43,320
Speaker 1: you know, where I was or what I worked on it,

1044
01:02:43,440 --> 01:02:45,400
Speaker 1: and I was the you know, I had started the

1045
01:02:45,400 --> 01:02:48,000
Speaker 1: Iraq War. I was like, I'm pretty sure that you know,

1046
01:02:48,640 --> 01:02:51,880
Speaker 1: it had been going on for about of three four

1047
01:02:51,960 --> 01:02:53,560
Speaker 1: years by the time I showed up. But you're still

1048
01:02:53,560 --> 01:02:56,080
Speaker 1: responsible for the whole thing. Anyway. I blame buck every Yeah,

1049
01:02:56,080 --> 01:02:58,280
Speaker 1: I mean, it was all my fault, all those memos

1050
01:02:58,320 --> 01:03:00,880
Speaker 1: I wrote. But but Steve, I also want to want

1051
01:03:00,880 --> 01:03:03,600
Speaker 1: to shift gears. We're speaking of Steve Yates principle of

1052
01:03:03,680 --> 01:03:06,280
Speaker 1: DC International Advisory, and he's down in DC. So it

1053
01:03:06,440 --> 01:03:09,880
Speaker 1: makes sense for the name what you're seeing right now

1054
01:03:09,920 --> 01:03:12,440
Speaker 1: with the US China relationship. I'm trying to tell everybody

1055
01:03:12,640 --> 01:03:15,240
Speaker 1: this is the primary foreign policy challenge not just of

1056
01:03:15,320 --> 01:03:18,760
Speaker 1: this administration, but of the next twenty years. And I

1057
01:03:18,800 --> 01:03:21,320
Speaker 1: know there's all this focus on climate change. I just

1058
01:03:21,320 --> 01:03:24,400
Speaker 1: feel like China's got to be loving this because dialing

1059
01:03:24,520 --> 01:03:28,400
Speaker 1: back Trump's straight talk about China in and of itself

1060
01:03:28,520 --> 01:03:30,800
Speaker 1: is going to give Hiji and Pay more room for maneuver.

1061
01:03:31,280 --> 01:03:33,480
Speaker 1: And my I keep telling everybody this. I almost have

1062
01:03:33,640 --> 01:03:36,680
Speaker 1: an investment based thesis here that China is just going

1063
01:03:36,760 --> 01:03:38,720
Speaker 1: to be eating America's lunch for the next four years.

1064
01:03:38,760 --> 01:03:41,400
Speaker 1: What do you see happening so far? Well, I think

1065
01:03:41,480 --> 01:03:47,000
Speaker 1: that that analysis is sad but true. That people have

1066
01:03:47,040 --> 01:03:50,640
Speaker 1: gotten so deep in the personalization of American politics and

1067
01:03:50,760 --> 01:03:54,800
Speaker 1: their own echo chamber on social media that they have

1068
01:03:55,200 --> 01:03:59,360
Speaker 1: basically missed one of the most important strategic shifts in

1069
01:03:59,400 --> 01:04:03,640
Speaker 1: American policy, and that was under a Trump dealing with China.

1070
01:04:04,120 --> 01:04:07,040
Speaker 1: And I think that there are some important politics of that,

1071
01:04:07,200 --> 01:04:10,120
Speaker 1: and that the American people when told the truth or

1072
01:04:10,160 --> 01:04:12,640
Speaker 1: one hundred percent on the side of where President Trump

1073
01:04:12,720 --> 01:04:17,960
Speaker 1: was going on things economically and strategically with regard to China,

1074
01:04:18,080 --> 01:04:20,960
Speaker 1: and some members of the Trump team, like Secretary of

1075
01:04:21,000 --> 01:04:24,439
Speaker 1: Pompeo I think was an historic transformational Secretary of State

1076
01:04:24,480 --> 01:04:27,800
Speaker 1: and talking about that the Communist Party of China is

1077
01:04:27,840 --> 01:04:30,200
Speaker 1: not just a problem for the Chinese people or for

1078
01:04:30,320 --> 01:04:33,800
Speaker 1: us out in the region, but in the United States

1079
01:04:33,800 --> 01:04:39,680
Speaker 1: with confucious institutes embedding into academic, financial, political institutions, that

1080
01:04:39,800 --> 01:04:43,160
Speaker 1: this is a strategic challenge of a magnitude that Americans

1081
01:04:43,200 --> 01:04:47,000
Speaker 1: haven't experienced. I would argue it's a bigger challenge than

1082
01:04:47,000 --> 01:04:49,640
Speaker 1: the Soviet threat was in the Cold War because they

1083
01:04:49,680 --> 01:04:52,520
Speaker 1: have more money, they are more deeply embedded into our

1084
01:04:52,560 --> 01:04:55,600
Speaker 1: culture and society, and most of America has been asleep

1085
01:04:55,600 --> 01:04:58,480
Speaker 1: at the switch while the goose is being getting cooked.

1086
01:04:59,280 --> 01:05:07,840
Speaker 1: How are you about some really destabilizing moves from China

1087
01:05:07,880 --> 01:05:12,400
Speaker 1: with regard to Taiwan. Well, very concerned, but I'm actually

1088
01:05:12,480 --> 01:05:18,160
Speaker 1: more concerned about destabilizing moves that China could take in economic, technological,

1089
01:05:18,640 --> 01:05:21,800
Speaker 1: and other areas that would have immediate impact on the

1090
01:05:21,880 --> 01:05:24,760
Speaker 1: United States. I mean, they can have pretty significant impact

1091
01:05:24,880 --> 01:05:30,000
Speaker 1: on markets and strategic industries because of bad policies to date,

1092
01:05:30,840 --> 01:05:34,600
Speaker 1: the move against Taiwan. They have always had the means

1093
01:05:34,640 --> 01:05:37,400
Speaker 1: to have some shock and awe, but they've lacked the

1094
01:05:37,440 --> 01:05:40,400
Speaker 1: means to actually be able to occupy and control Taiwan.

1095
01:05:41,720 --> 01:05:45,320
Speaker 1: So I'm very concerned for the sake of friends that

1096
01:05:45,400 --> 01:05:50,160
Speaker 1: operate there, very concerned about our tech sector that there's

1097
01:05:50,200 --> 01:05:52,440
Speaker 1: a lot of things made in Taiwan that are in

1098
01:05:52,480 --> 01:05:57,040
Speaker 1: our smartphones and are communicating devices, which now include vehicles

1099
01:05:57,040 --> 01:06:01,400
Speaker 1: and airplanes and everything else that that is the fruit

1100
01:06:01,640 --> 01:06:06,000
Speaker 1: of Taiwan manufacturing in Taiwan technology. We literally can't afford

1101
01:06:06,320 --> 01:06:09,440
Speaker 1: for China to take over Taiwan without having a massive

1102
01:06:09,480 --> 01:06:12,320
Speaker 1: impact on America's way of life. And that's just something

1103
01:06:12,320 --> 01:06:17,320
Speaker 1: I think Abroader America has been sort of brought to

1104
01:06:17,320 --> 01:06:20,320
Speaker 1: sleep a bit about, and I would be afraid of

1105
01:06:20,360 --> 01:06:22,560
Speaker 1: China waking us up to that reality. What is and

1106
01:06:22,720 --> 01:06:25,480
Speaker 1: just one more thing from you, Stephen, what is for

1107
01:06:25,560 --> 01:06:30,640
Speaker 1: you the primary error that you worry or you believe

1108
01:06:31,240 --> 01:06:36,040
Speaker 1: the Biden administration will commit in the months ahead when

1109
01:06:36,040 --> 01:06:37,960
Speaker 1: it comes to China. I mean, what if you could

1110
01:06:38,000 --> 01:06:40,520
Speaker 1: get them to what is the one thing they're gonna

1111
01:06:40,560 --> 01:06:42,000
Speaker 1: do that you would want to say to them, don't

1112
01:06:42,040 --> 01:06:45,919
Speaker 1: do that thing? Biden team, Well, in some ways they've

1113
01:06:45,920 --> 01:06:48,640
Speaker 1: already done it, the sort of going back to the

1114
01:06:48,680 --> 01:06:54,280
Speaker 1: World Health Organization and international organizations generally in undoing every

1115
01:06:54,520 --> 01:06:59,440
Speaker 1: Trump executive order that they've already in a way enabled

1116
01:06:59,640 --> 01:07:03,760
Speaker 1: thee to insulate themselves from culpability on what I see

1117
01:07:03,840 --> 01:07:07,640
Speaker 1: is the greatest national security, public health, and economic attack

1118
01:07:07,640 --> 01:07:10,320
Speaker 1: on our country in the history of the republic. And

1119
01:07:10,360 --> 01:07:14,160
Speaker 1: that's the virus that came out of China, undeniably out

1120
01:07:14,160 --> 01:07:18,280
Speaker 1: of China. And so they've already I think, gone in

1121
01:07:18,280 --> 01:07:21,680
Speaker 1: the wrong direction on that. Beyond that, I think that

1122
01:07:21,760 --> 01:07:27,080
Speaker 1: they have to keep the coalition of like minded nations

1123
01:07:27,720 --> 01:07:32,360
Speaker 1: moving toward a clean version of five G technology, one

1124
01:07:32,400 --> 01:07:38,080
Speaker 1: that does not involve Chinese corporations or technology like Huawei.

1125
01:07:38,880 --> 01:07:41,440
Speaker 1: And that because there's just so much of our business

1126
01:07:41,440 --> 01:07:43,960
Speaker 1: and personal way of life that's vested. We have to

1127
01:07:44,000 --> 01:07:47,760
Speaker 1: move forward with allies and partners on clean technologies, not

1128
01:07:47,840 --> 01:07:51,080
Speaker 1: in a green sense, but on a non Chinese communist

1129
01:07:51,080 --> 01:07:56,280
Speaker 1: party sense. Stephen Yates of DC International Advisory, he's the principal. Stephen.

1130
01:07:56,480 --> 01:07:58,200
Speaker 1: Always great to have you, my friend. We'll talk soon.

1134
01:08:09,760 --> 01:08:12,560
Speaker 1: He may read it on the show. So the question is,

1135
01:08:12,560 --> 01:08:16,880
Speaker 1: is this still the party of Donald Trump? And does

1136
01:08:17,120 --> 01:08:21,519
Speaker 1: Marjorie Taylor Greenstell hold a solid place in that party? Chris,

1137
01:08:21,520 --> 01:08:23,640
Speaker 1: We're the party of Abraham Lincoln. We're the party of

1138
01:08:23,720 --> 01:08:26,880
Speaker 1: Ronald Reagan. We have to really take a hard look

1139
01:08:26,920 --> 01:08:28,400
Speaker 1: at who we are and what we stand for, what

1140
01:08:28,439 --> 01:08:31,160
Speaker 1: we believe in. I think when you look at both

1141
01:08:31,760 --> 01:08:34,599
Speaker 1: his actions leading up to what happened on January sixth,

1142
01:08:35,320 --> 01:08:38,839
Speaker 1: the fact that he was impeached in a bypars In fashion,

1143
01:08:39,479 --> 01:08:42,640
Speaker 1: the fact that he lost the presidency, the fact that

1144
01:08:42,680 --> 01:08:45,400
Speaker 1: we lost the Senate, we have to be in a

1145
01:08:45,439 --> 01:08:47,599
Speaker 1: position where we can say we stand for principles, we

1146
01:08:47,640 --> 01:08:52,360
Speaker 1: stand for ideals. Somebody who has provoked an attack on

1147
01:08:52,400 --> 01:08:55,080
Speaker 1: the United States Capital to prevent the counting of electoral

1148
01:08:55,160 --> 01:08:59,400
Speaker 1: votes which resulted in five people dying, who refused to

1149
01:08:59,439 --> 01:09:02,719
Speaker 1: stand up immediately Winnie was asked and stopped the violence

1150
01:09:03,479 --> 01:09:05,240
Speaker 1: that that is a person who does not have a

1151
01:09:05,320 --> 01:09:07,400
Speaker 1: role as a leader of our party going forward. We

1152
01:09:07,439 --> 01:09:10,360
Speaker 1: have to make sure that we are able to convey

1153
01:09:10,400 --> 01:09:13,360
Speaker 1: to the American voters we are the party of responsibility,

1154
01:09:13,520 --> 01:09:16,200
Speaker 1: we are the party of truth, that we actually can

1155
01:09:16,280 --> 01:09:19,719
Speaker 1: be trusted to handle the challenges as nation faces like COVID,

1156
01:09:20,400 --> 01:09:22,919
Speaker 1: and that's going to require us to focus on substance

1157
01:09:22,960 --> 01:09:25,439
Speaker 1: and policy and issues going forward. But we should not

1158
01:09:25,479 --> 01:09:28,519
Speaker 1: be embracing the former president. I just think she's wrong.

1159
01:09:29,200 --> 01:09:32,280
Speaker 1: She's entitled to her opinion. I just think she's wrong

1160
01:09:32,360 --> 01:09:35,840
Speaker 1: on a whole lot here. I think she's wrong that

1161
01:09:36,680 --> 01:09:40,040
Speaker 1: the president is guilty of incitement to insurrection. I think

1162
01:09:40,080 --> 01:09:44,880
Speaker 1: she's wrong that Donald Trump doesn't have a future in

1163
01:09:44,920 --> 01:09:49,400
Speaker 1: Republican leadership. And I would want to know for the

1164
01:09:49,439 --> 01:09:53,280
Speaker 1: people who are saying that, they should also tell us.

1165
01:09:53,280 --> 01:09:55,880
Speaker 1: I mean, if Liz Cheney really believes this, does she

1166
01:09:55,960 --> 01:09:58,799
Speaker 1: think she's the future of the Republican Party? I mean, really,

1167
01:09:58,920 --> 01:10:02,200
Speaker 1: what is the alternative? Does Mint Romney think he's the

1168
01:10:02,280 --> 01:10:05,679
Speaker 1: future of the Republican Party? Who is going to be

1169
01:10:05,840 --> 01:10:07,759
Speaker 1: in the role of leadership if it is not Trump?

1170
01:10:08,640 --> 01:10:11,000
Speaker 1: Because then can't we make a better decision? Right now,

1171
01:10:11,080 --> 01:10:13,600
Speaker 1: they're saying, let's get rid of Trump as leader of

1172
01:10:13,600 --> 01:10:17,559
Speaker 1: the GOP de facto leaders still of the GOP, and

1173
01:10:17,680 --> 01:10:20,760
Speaker 1: they're encouraging I mean, Liz Jenny's encouraging a conviction in

1174
01:10:20,800 --> 01:10:23,880
Speaker 1: this and the Senate trial it's underwear this week. Who

1175
01:10:23,920 --> 01:10:26,679
Speaker 1: would take up that role? Who would take up that mantel?

1176
01:10:27,640 --> 01:10:31,360
Speaker 1: Senator Ted Cruz was supportive of the election challenges and

1177
01:10:31,400 --> 01:10:33,920
Speaker 1: has already been dragged into all that. So for the

1178
01:10:33,960 --> 01:10:36,080
Speaker 1: Liz Cheneys of the world, that doesn't seem like it

1179
01:10:36,080 --> 01:10:38,760
Speaker 1: would be an option. I mean, if she if she

1180
01:10:38,840 --> 01:10:42,080
Speaker 1: were saying, guys, look at Ron de Santis, that's somebody

1181
01:10:42,120 --> 01:10:45,120
Speaker 1: who's getting things done. We should rally behind him. It's

1182
01:10:45,120 --> 01:10:47,680
Speaker 1: not even about who she would tell us is the

1183
01:10:47,720 --> 01:10:50,720
Speaker 1: future of the GOP. But I just think that it's

1184
01:10:50,760 --> 01:10:53,200
Speaker 1: interesting that these people that want to push Trump aside,

1185
01:10:53,920 --> 01:10:56,920
Speaker 1: you never hear from what Ben Sas is that really

1186
01:10:57,640 --> 01:11:00,160
Speaker 1: Ben SaaS cares about one thing. Ben Sas, this is

1187
01:11:00,160 --> 01:11:04,000
Speaker 1: a guy who is always reliably in position to stab

1188
01:11:04,040 --> 01:11:07,400
Speaker 1: the GOP in the back the moment it's convenient for him.

1189
01:11:07,479 --> 01:11:11,599
Speaker 1: So who is in the leadership role? Then? Do they

1190
01:11:11,600 --> 01:11:17,200
Speaker 1: have any names? Do the newly ascendant never Trumpers, have

1191
01:11:17,200 --> 01:11:20,840
Speaker 1: anybody they want to put forward. I'm just wondering. This

1192
01:11:21,200 --> 01:11:26,040
Speaker 1: is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Follow Buck on Facebook, Instagram,

1193
01:11:26,240 --> 01:11:30,960
Speaker 1: and Twitter. I've called for a complete cancelation of student debt.

1194
01:11:31,360 --> 01:11:34,160
Speaker 1: We are now asking for up to fifty thousand dollars

1195
01:11:34,200 --> 01:11:37,519
Speaker 1: because we know he has the executive authority to do

1196
01:11:37,560 --> 01:11:42,719
Speaker 1: it with an executive action. The state that I represent

1197
01:11:43,479 --> 01:11:48,400
Speaker 1: has about seven hundred and fifty thousand student debt borrowers.

1198
01:11:49,120 --> 01:11:52,479
Speaker 1: The average student debt is more than thirty five thousand.

1199
01:11:53,240 --> 01:11:57,080
Speaker 1: We know that ten thousand is not going to make

1200
01:11:57,640 --> 01:12:02,439
Speaker 1: a dent. We want people have the ability to not

1201
01:12:02,640 --> 01:12:07,400
Speaker 1: worry about making their student debt loan payments in a

1202
01:12:07,520 --> 01:12:11,600
Speaker 1: time doing a pandemic where they are severely struggling to

1203
01:12:11,760 --> 01:12:15,200
Speaker 1: put food on the table and keep roof over their heads.

Speaker 1: then just have it wiped away, because that sounds like

1219
01:13:14,640 --> 01:13:17,160
Speaker 1: a I mean, that sounds like a great deal. You know,

1220
01:13:17,200 --> 01:13:19,320
Speaker 1: I'll do some correspondence classes and have it all picked

1221
01:13:19,360 --> 01:13:22,880
Speaker 1: up courtesy Uncle Sam, or at least get get fifty

1222
01:13:22,920 --> 01:13:25,000
Speaker 1: thousand dollars of it picked up. You know what, what's

1223
01:13:25,040 --> 01:13:28,000
Speaker 1: the cutoff gonna be if you just made your final

1224
01:13:28,120 --> 01:13:32,759
Speaker 1: student loan payment after you know, fifteen years last week?

1225
01:13:33,360 --> 01:13:35,800
Speaker 1: Did they give you that money back? Oh no, you're

1226
01:13:35,880 --> 01:13:37,760
Speaker 1: You're a chump. You just did the right thing and

1227
01:13:38,320 --> 01:13:41,800
Speaker 1: paid your debts and were responsible. So too bad for you,

1228
01:13:41,880 --> 01:13:45,559
Speaker 1: I suppose. But Democrats want to wave this away, and

1229
01:13:45,600 --> 01:13:48,320
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I know that they don't like to hear this,

1230
01:13:48,479 --> 01:13:52,559
Speaker 1: but I mean, what about credit card debt? People buying food,

1231
01:13:52,640 --> 01:13:57,760
Speaker 1: people buying groceries gas. That debt is non dischargeable. Oh,

1232
01:13:57,840 --> 01:14:00,960
Speaker 1: in part because of people like Joe Biden, that, even

1233
01:14:00,960 --> 01:14:03,040
Speaker 1: in bankruptcy, very hard to get rid of credit card debt,

1234
01:14:03,120 --> 01:14:07,439
Speaker 1: you know, not impossible. Student loan debt is effectively impossible

1235
01:14:07,439 --> 01:14:09,639
Speaker 1: to get rid of. Credit card debt is very hard

1236
01:14:09,680 --> 01:14:13,759
Speaker 1: to get rid of. And Joe Biden and other members

1237
01:14:13,760 --> 01:14:16,280
Speaker 1: of Congress, you know, Joe Biden of Delaware, of course,

1238
01:14:16,280 --> 01:14:18,559
Speaker 1: which is just a state that exists so that companies

1239
01:14:18,560 --> 01:14:20,680
Speaker 1: can incorporate there, and the credit card companies tip of

1240
01:14:20,720 --> 01:14:25,280
Speaker 1: the list to try to avoid, you know, taxes and regulations.

1241
01:14:26,520 --> 01:14:29,720
Speaker 1: The the issue here is going to be, well, why

1242
01:14:30,200 --> 01:14:32,599
Speaker 1: why should this one class of debt be favored over

1243
01:14:32,640 --> 01:14:35,559
Speaker 1: so many others? What about people's mortgages, what about you know,

1244
01:14:36,360 --> 01:14:40,240
Speaker 1: this is I understand the appeal of it for people.

1245
01:14:40,280 --> 01:14:42,439
Speaker 1: I understand why they say, oh, this, this sounds like

1246
01:14:42,479 --> 01:14:45,960
Speaker 1: good idea. This is just redistribution of wealth, that's all.

1247
01:14:46,000 --> 01:14:47,920
Speaker 1: It is, just taken from people and given it to

1248
01:14:47,960 --> 01:14:51,080
Speaker 1: other people because they like them or because they think

1249
01:14:51,120 --> 01:14:55,360
Speaker 1: they'll get something from helping them. But there's not some

1250
01:14:56,160 --> 01:14:59,800
Speaker 1: greater principle involved here. There's not some great explanation for

1251
01:14:59,800 --> 01:15:02,000
Speaker 1: why this should happen. And it's also a reminder of

1252
01:15:02,000 --> 01:15:06,160
Speaker 1: the fact that we're having this conversation during a Biden presidency.

1253
01:15:06,200 --> 01:15:09,840
Speaker 1: This was a big thing for Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. Right,

1254
01:15:09,960 --> 01:15:15,400
Speaker 1: I was warning all along that you were going to

1255
01:15:15,479 --> 01:15:19,840
Speaker 1: have a left wing presidency that was just through the

1256
01:15:20,600 --> 01:15:22,360
Speaker 1: prism of Joe Biden, but that you were gonna have

1257
01:15:22,400 --> 01:15:24,240
Speaker 1: a left wing presidency and you're seeing all that's playing

1258
01:15:24,240 --> 01:15:26,519
Speaker 1: out right now. Oh, in another area where that's certainly

1259
01:15:26,600 --> 01:15:31,280
Speaker 1: going on is at the border. And this brings me

1260
01:15:31,400 --> 01:15:35,840
Speaker 1: back to Steve Doocy we talked about earlier in the show,

1261
01:15:35,840 --> 01:15:40,519
Speaker 1: Steve Doocy asking Saki bomb questions about where people can

1262
01:15:40,560 --> 01:15:44,000
Speaker 1: go to get their new green job, and the answers,

1263
01:15:44,000 --> 01:15:46,280
Speaker 1: of course they can't, they don't know, and they don't care.

1264
01:15:46,320 --> 01:15:49,280
Speaker 1: Shut up, peasant, We're saving the planet. Your job doesn't matter.

1265
01:15:50,600 --> 01:15:56,519
Speaker 1: But Doocy to Saki on the border, speaking of left

1266
01:15:56,520 --> 01:16:00,120
Speaker 1: wing stuff going on right now, very interesting exchange play one.

1267
01:16:01,120 --> 01:16:04,280
Speaker 1: And on immigration, there's a new reporting that ICE is

1268
01:16:04,320 --> 01:16:07,719
Speaker 1: going to get some new guidance to no longer focus

1269
01:16:07,800 --> 01:16:10,719
Speaker 1: on deporting illegal immigrants who have been convicted of duy,

1270
01:16:10,960 --> 01:16:15,599
Speaker 1: simple assault, solicitation, drug based crimes, among other things. And

1271
01:16:16,000 --> 01:16:21,479
Speaker 1: I'm curious how that is in the interest of public safety. Well, first,

1272
01:16:21,600 --> 01:16:24,799
Speaker 1: it's guidelines that would be put out by the Department

1273
01:16:24,800 --> 01:16:26,840
Speaker 1: of Homeland Security, and i'd certainly send you them. They

1274
01:16:26,840 --> 01:16:31,559
Speaker 1: have a confirmed secretary now. But the priority for the

1275
01:16:31,640 --> 01:16:35,400
Speaker 1: enforcement of an immigration laws will be on those who

1276
01:16:35,439 --> 01:16:38,519
Speaker 1: are posing a national security threat, of course, a public

1277
01:16:38,600 --> 01:16:42,679
Speaker 1: safety threat, and on recent arrivals Nobody is saying that

1278
01:16:43,040 --> 01:16:47,280
Speaker 1: DUIs or assault are acceptable behavior, and those arrested for

1279
01:16:47,320 --> 01:16:50,080
Speaker 1: such activities should be tried and sentenced as appropriate by

1280
01:16:50,160 --> 01:16:53,800
Speaker 1: local law enforcement. But we're talking about the prioritization of

1281
01:16:53,840 --> 01:16:57,240
Speaker 1: who is going to be deported from the country. Such

1282
01:16:57,479 --> 01:17:03,040
Speaker 1: dishonest garbage from the Biden people on this one. Prioritization

1283
01:17:03,439 --> 01:17:07,040
Speaker 1: is a fancy way of saying nullification of existing law.

1284
01:17:07,080 --> 01:17:10,920
Speaker 1: We're not going to send people back to their country

1285
01:17:10,960 --> 01:17:16,680
Speaker 1: who are here illegally, even if they have committed assault, dui,

1286
01:17:17,560 --> 01:17:21,640
Speaker 1: drug based crimes. They get to stay. So now, if

1287
01:17:21,640 --> 01:17:24,840
Speaker 1: you're an illegal and you run a foul of the

1288
01:17:24,920 --> 01:17:28,920
Speaker 1: law with additional criminality and not like a parking ticket,

1289
01:17:28,960 --> 01:17:33,840
Speaker 1: like actual criminal behavior, you're not going to get deported.

1290
01:17:34,240 --> 01:17:40,639
Speaker 1: They say it's a prioritization thing. What they really mean

1291
01:17:40,720 --> 01:17:43,479
Speaker 1: by that is that effectively you're good to go and

1292
01:17:43,520 --> 01:17:47,200
Speaker 1: you get to stay. Oh and there's another place where

1293
01:17:47,200 --> 01:17:50,800
Speaker 1: we're finding out the border has issues right now. The

1294
01:17:51,040 --> 01:17:55,120
Speaker 1: Biden team invited this border crisis. I mean I called

1295
01:17:55,120 --> 01:17:57,559
Speaker 1: for it. I actually did a on the First TV

1296
01:17:57,760 --> 01:18:00,800
Speaker 1: which you should all be watching, and out by the way,

1297
01:18:00,840 --> 01:18:03,759
Speaker 1: it's a free app. The First TV my shows before

1298
01:18:03,800 --> 01:18:08,599
Speaker 1: Bill O'Reilly on the first TV though you can see

1299
01:18:08,640 --> 01:18:11,720
Speaker 1: I did a special on the immigration crisis. I did

1300
01:18:11,720 --> 01:18:14,600
Speaker 1: that around Christmas time because I knew what was going

1301
01:18:14,640 --> 01:18:16,519
Speaker 1: to happen. I knew what the border was going to

1302
01:18:16,600 --> 01:18:20,080
Speaker 1: turn into, and it was obvious for anybody who's been

1303
01:18:20,080 --> 01:18:22,040
Speaker 1: following this administration what's going on here. So you know,

1304
01:18:22,080 --> 01:18:24,160
Speaker 1: you have this massive flood of people to the border.

1305
01:18:24,920 --> 01:18:29,880
Speaker 1: But here's what's amazing. They're talking about additional restrictions on

1306
01:18:29,920 --> 01:18:33,519
Speaker 1: airline travel where you have to prove for domestic airline travel,

1307
01:18:33,880 --> 01:18:35,920
Speaker 1: where you have to prove you've had a COVID test. Now,

1308
01:18:36,400 --> 01:18:38,600
Speaker 1: I thought that riding on a plane with masks on

1309
01:18:38,800 --> 01:18:41,280
Speaker 1: you were very unlikely to get COVID. So what's the

1310
01:18:41,320 --> 01:18:43,640
Speaker 1: big deal? Right? That's the thing they tell us, we

1311
01:18:43,640 --> 01:18:46,120
Speaker 1: have to take all these mitigation measures, and then it

1312
01:18:46,200 --> 01:18:49,200
Speaker 1: somehows never enough, and there's always more mitigation measures. Have

1313
01:18:49,280 --> 01:18:53,040
Speaker 1: you ever noticed that masking is so effective that masking

1314
01:18:53,080 --> 01:18:54,880
Speaker 1: on a plane is not enough for it to be

1315
01:18:54,920 --> 01:18:59,639
Speaker 1: considered safe. You also have to do the tempered check beforehand. Well,

1316
01:18:59,640 --> 01:19:04,920
Speaker 1: how effective can it really be? Think for yourself, And

1317
01:19:05,080 --> 01:19:07,639
Speaker 1: all of this stuff starts to just crumble and become absurd,

1318
01:19:07,720 --> 01:19:10,879
Speaker 1: or just think for yourself. Don't listen to the people shouting,

1319
01:19:10,920 --> 01:19:14,800
Speaker 1: and you listen to the experts, think for yourself, and

1320
01:19:15,000 --> 01:19:17,040
Speaker 1: you will achieve so much more clarity on this because

1321
01:19:17,040 --> 01:19:20,879
Speaker 1: they've shown you their hand many times. They've shown you

1322
01:19:20,920 --> 01:19:22,640
Speaker 1: that what they're saying is not true. All you have

1323
01:19:22,640 --> 01:19:25,800
Speaker 1: to do is open your eyes and you see it.

1324
01:19:25,800 --> 01:19:29,519
Speaker 1: With so many of these things. H it really is

1325
01:19:30,120 --> 01:19:35,920
Speaker 1: a very very frustrating, very frustrating situation. But oh, and

1326
01:19:36,160 --> 01:19:39,840
Speaker 1: then they're gonna slow everything down for airline travel for people.

1327
01:19:39,880 --> 01:19:42,240
Speaker 1: Now maybe that hasn't happened yet, that might happen, and

1328
01:19:42,400 --> 01:19:44,519
Speaker 1: with the COVID testing, and just imagine what that's like.

1329
01:19:44,560 --> 01:19:46,479
Speaker 1: You arrive at the airport. It's always so stressful. You

1330
01:19:46,560 --> 01:19:48,280
Speaker 1: got to get there, got to go through security, all

1331
01:19:48,280 --> 01:19:51,599
Speaker 1: this craziness. And now they're gonna say, you know COVID papers, sir,

1332
01:19:51,840 --> 01:19:55,439
Speaker 1: you say, what you know? I gotta shame my COVID papers,

1333
01:19:57,320 --> 01:19:59,320
Speaker 1: you know? And what does that even mean? If you

1334
01:19:59,320 --> 01:20:01,360
Speaker 1: get tested through days before you get on the plane,

1335
01:20:01,439 --> 01:20:03,800
Speaker 1: you're good. Does it have to be the day of

1336
01:20:04,360 --> 01:20:06,599
Speaker 1: because of it? Three days before? Guess what? You could

1337
01:20:06,600 --> 01:20:08,320
Speaker 1: be infected the day after you get the test that

1338
01:20:08,400 --> 01:20:13,719
Speaker 1: it's all so absurd, isn't it. But you know they're

1339
01:20:13,760 --> 01:20:17,120
Speaker 1: allowing now because they've changed the asylum policies that are bordered.

1340
01:20:17,160 --> 01:20:21,479
Speaker 1: They are allowing illegal aliens who come to America to

1341
01:20:21,520 --> 01:20:25,160
Speaker 1: be released in the American interior after claiming asylum in

1342
01:20:25,160 --> 01:20:27,160
Speaker 1: the border, because that whole scam is up and running again.

1343
01:20:28,320 --> 01:20:30,439
Speaker 1: Do you think, I want to ask you this question?

1344
01:20:30,479 --> 01:20:33,120
Speaker 1: Do you think? And hat tip to Tucker Carlson's show

1345
01:20:33,960 --> 01:20:36,759
Speaker 1: for bringing this one to the public's attention and bringing

1346
01:20:36,760 --> 01:20:42,880
Speaker 1: out the research on it that they're checking them for COVID.

1347
01:20:43,160 --> 01:20:45,600
Speaker 1: They're checking illegal aliens for COVID when they get to

1348
01:20:45,600 --> 01:20:48,800
Speaker 1: the border, when they come here. Nope, they are not.

1349
01:20:49,600 --> 01:20:52,000
Speaker 1: So if you're an illegal breaking the law, it's not

1350
01:20:52,000 --> 01:20:54,800
Speaker 1: supposed to be an American in the first place, you

1351
01:20:54,800 --> 01:20:56,880
Speaker 1: don't have to go through a COVID test. You're you're set,

1352
01:20:57,040 --> 01:21:01,080
Speaker 1: you're set free in America. But they're talking about restricting

1353
01:21:01,120 --> 01:21:05,160
Speaker 1: your travel as an American citizen between states and saying

1354
01:21:05,200 --> 01:21:08,800
Speaker 1: you need to have a COVID test. This is uh,

1355
01:21:08,960 --> 01:21:11,280
Speaker 1: this is the world that we're living in now. Friends.

1356
01:21:11,320 --> 01:21:14,960
Speaker 1: It's unfortunate. But oh, and one more crazy thing that

1357
01:21:15,040 --> 01:21:19,240
Speaker 1: you have here the mayor of Tampa. You know, after

1358
01:21:19,439 --> 01:21:24,040
Speaker 1: the whole Tom Brady. Look, he's the great, He's the greatest,

1359
01:21:24,560 --> 01:21:26,800
Speaker 1: the greatest football player of all time. Guys, I don't

1360
01:21:26,800 --> 01:21:28,840
Speaker 1: even think this is really a hard thing to any

1361
01:21:28,960 --> 01:21:31,200
Speaker 1: This is the greatest football player of all time. All right. So,

1362
01:21:31,680 --> 01:21:35,320
Speaker 1: and I'm sorry for all the snowflakes out there who

1363
01:21:35,320 --> 01:21:39,439
Speaker 1: are melting because Tom Brady is considered a Trump supporter

1364
01:21:39,520 --> 01:21:42,719
Speaker 1: or something. He's still the greatest football player of all time. So,

1365
01:21:43,320 --> 01:21:45,080
Speaker 1: I mean, look, it's just it's just at this point,

1366
01:21:45,120 --> 01:21:47,960
Speaker 1: what's the argument. I mean, he's got seven Super Bowl rings,

1367
01:21:48,640 --> 01:21:52,240
Speaker 1: he goes to a team, the whole, the whole thing

1368
01:21:52,400 --> 01:21:54,639
Speaker 1: is just I think the experiment here, as I say,

1369
01:21:54,680 --> 01:21:56,400
Speaker 1: has been run and we know what the results are.

1370
01:21:57,760 --> 01:22:02,120
Speaker 1: But the the mayor of Tampa gave some really really

1371
01:22:02,360 --> 01:22:05,960
Speaker 1: chilling speech the day after the Super Bowl where she

1372
01:22:06,080 --> 01:22:11,519
Speaker 1: said that they were gonna have police track people down,

1373
01:22:11,640 --> 01:22:16,240
Speaker 1: they were gonna have police find those who were partying

1374
01:22:16,360 --> 01:22:20,400
Speaker 1: without masks on. And now there's a photo that's emerged

1375
01:22:20,439 --> 01:22:24,920
Speaker 1: of her at the Super Bowl. Guess what doesn't have

1376
01:22:25,000 --> 01:22:27,960
Speaker 1: a mask on? Sitting there in the stands, doesn't have

1377
01:22:28,000 --> 01:22:33,840
Speaker 1: a mask on? Mask shaming is just what vain, petty

1378
01:22:34,040 --> 01:22:37,320
Speaker 1: virtue signaling morons due to each other. And it's a

1379
01:22:37,360 --> 01:22:40,040
Speaker 1: shame that this has become so mainstreamed in our culture.

1380
01:22:40,640 --> 01:22:43,639
Speaker 1: It's a shame that people really think that they're better

1381
01:22:43,680 --> 01:22:48,000
Speaker 1: than other people because in in one instance, in one moment,

1382
01:22:48,000 --> 01:22:50,600
Speaker 1: they have a cloth covering over their mouth. When we

1383
01:22:50,640 --> 01:22:54,160
Speaker 1: all realized, right the chance you listening to this right now,

1384
01:22:54,760 --> 01:22:56,840
Speaker 1: ninety nine percent of you listening to this right now

1385
01:22:56,840 --> 01:22:58,200
Speaker 1: who have to put on a mask in the next

1386
01:22:58,240 --> 01:23:02,240
Speaker 1: twenty four hours are higherly healthy and are just being

1387
01:23:02,360 --> 01:23:06,519
Speaker 1: annoyed and going through inconvenience for no good reason. You

1388
01:23:06,600 --> 01:23:08,800
Speaker 1: were actually healthy, you you have no virus to spread

1389
01:23:08,920 --> 01:23:11,360
Speaker 1: ninety nine percent, probably ninety nine point nine percent of you.

1390
01:23:11,880 --> 01:23:16,360
Speaker 1: But that's not enough. That's not enough because maybe one

1391
01:23:16,360 --> 01:23:19,800
Speaker 1: percent of the people listening to this have COVID. Everybody

1392
01:23:19,800 --> 01:23:22,080
Speaker 1: has to be massed up all the time, except they're

1393
01:23:22,080 --> 01:23:24,040
Speaker 1: not masked up all the time. As we know, this

1394
01:23:24,120 --> 01:23:27,839
Speaker 1: is crazy. You're in the freedom hunt. Thanks for listening

1396
01:23:30,920 --> 01:23:36,080
Speaker 1: Buck at buck sexton dot com. What's the biggest way

1397
01:23:36,240 --> 01:23:39,800
Speaker 1: that transportation has been permanently changed by the pandemic. It's

1398
01:23:39,840 --> 01:23:41,559
Speaker 1: too soon to know for sure, but I think it's

1399
01:23:41,600 --> 01:23:44,680
Speaker 1: safe to say that our old patterns of life, the

1400
01:23:44,800 --> 01:23:47,519
Speaker 1: nine to five Monday through Friday commuting patterns, are not

1401
01:23:47,560 --> 01:23:49,320
Speaker 1: going to be exactly the same. Yeah, and so how

1402
01:23:49,400 --> 01:23:52,040
Speaker 1: might that change what your stuff does? You know? We

1403
01:23:52,120 --> 01:23:55,880
Speaker 1: think transplants and automobiles, but what about bike, scooters, wheelchairs

1404
01:23:55,920 --> 01:23:57,800
Speaker 1: for that matter, those are things you plan to pay

1405
01:23:57,840 --> 01:24:01,320
Speaker 1: more attention to. Absolutely. Yeah, Look, roads aren't only for vehicles.

1406
01:24:01,520 --> 01:24:04,040
Speaker 1: We got to make sure that that pedestrians and individuals

1407
01:24:04,040 --> 01:24:06,800
Speaker 1: and bicyclists and businesses can all co exist on the

1408
01:24:06,800 --> 01:24:12,920
Speaker 1: same roadway. No, this is not good, not good. And

1409
01:24:12,920 --> 01:24:15,439
Speaker 1: and let me say here, I have a bias. All right,

1410
01:24:15,520 --> 01:24:18,519
Speaker 1: I have a bias. And I know that was Mayor

1411
01:24:18,560 --> 01:24:24,679
Speaker 1: Pete Buddha Judge, now Secretary of Transportation Buddha Judge, who

1412
01:24:24,760 --> 01:24:27,760
Speaker 1: is talking about his roles? And now does he have

1413
01:24:27,800 --> 01:24:31,280
Speaker 1: any experience really in transportation? No? But does that matter

1414
01:24:31,280 --> 01:24:34,400
Speaker 1: to anybody in charge? No? All right, but look he's it.

1415
01:24:34,640 --> 01:24:37,280
Speaker 1: He's a smart guy. I'm this. This is a reality

1416
01:24:37,320 --> 01:24:40,320
Speaker 1: based show. This is not reality TV, it's reality radio.

1417
01:24:40,680 --> 01:24:44,040
Speaker 1: This is a reality bass show. And and so I

1418
01:24:44,120 --> 01:24:47,080
Speaker 1: recognize that Mayor Pete smart. He's he's a capable guy,

1419
01:24:47,080 --> 01:24:51,120
Speaker 1: he's an intelligent fellow, and and he's I'm sure he'll

1420
01:24:51,160 --> 01:24:54,560
Speaker 1: be fine in a sense in the role of transportation Secretary.

1421
01:24:54,600 --> 01:24:57,160
Speaker 1: I mean, it's you know, it's not something that keeps

1422
01:24:57,160 --> 01:24:59,640
Speaker 1: people up at night, but even that may become an

1423
01:24:59,640 --> 01:25:05,160
Speaker 1: opportun tunity for micromanaging, social engineering and wokeness in different ways.

1424
01:25:05,200 --> 01:25:08,280
Speaker 1: So you got to keep an eye on it. Here's

1425
01:25:08,320 --> 01:25:10,320
Speaker 1: here's my bias, and I share this with you in

1426
01:25:10,360 --> 01:25:12,120
Speaker 1: the spirit of all of you listening to this. I

1427
01:25:12,160 --> 01:25:14,040
Speaker 1: love all of you, and I respect all of you

1428
01:25:14,120 --> 01:25:17,599
Speaker 1: and your choices for recreation and transportation of your own.

1429
01:25:18,040 --> 01:25:21,200
Speaker 1: That's it. In New York City. I can only speak

1430
01:25:21,240 --> 01:25:22,600
Speaker 1: to New York City because that's the place I know

1431
01:25:22,640 --> 01:25:28,639
Speaker 1: the best people on bicycles for getting to work purposes.

1432
01:25:28,800 --> 01:25:31,000
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about delivery people and people that are

1433
01:25:31,000 --> 01:25:33,280
Speaker 1: doing it for a living. That way, people that choose

1434
01:25:33,360 --> 01:25:36,599
Speaker 1: to ride bicycles in the bike lane, which we're all

1435
01:25:36,640 --> 01:25:45,280
Speaker 1: built here by Maya Bloomberg, they are generally militant and

1436
01:25:45,360 --> 01:25:48,000
Speaker 1: kind of crazy. I'm just it's just the truth, and

1437
01:25:48,080 --> 01:25:49,840
Speaker 1: I don't I don't want anyone to get mad at me.

1438
01:25:50,000 --> 01:25:53,240
Speaker 1: I'm if you live out in the burbs somewhere and

1439
01:25:53,320 --> 01:25:56,400
Speaker 1: you enjoy bike riding, that's fine. Bike riding for recreation,

1440
01:25:56,520 --> 01:25:59,800
Speaker 1: totally cool. I'm all about it. Mountain biking, that's great.

1441
01:25:59,840 --> 01:26:02,120
Speaker 1: I'm not you know, I want to be very clear

1442
01:26:02,240 --> 01:26:04,920
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. But if you spend time on the

1443
01:26:04,920 --> 01:26:07,680
Speaker 1: streets of New York City, I can just tell you

1444
01:26:07,720 --> 01:26:10,160
Speaker 1: that the people that are wearing a suit and go

1445
01:26:10,200 --> 01:26:12,600
Speaker 1: into their office in Midtown and riding a bicycle to

1446
01:26:12,680 --> 01:26:17,760
Speaker 1: do it are generally a little crazy, and they are

1447
01:26:18,160 --> 01:26:20,920
Speaker 1: very left wing, and they think they're saving the planet

1448
01:26:20,920 --> 01:26:24,000
Speaker 1: by riding their little bike. And if you get in

1449
01:26:24,240 --> 01:26:27,240
Speaker 1: the other there's this constant war underway between the cars

1450
01:26:27,280 --> 01:26:31,160
Speaker 1: and the bikes because the bike lane people think that

1451
01:26:31,360 --> 01:26:33,320
Speaker 1: no one's ever gonna like open a car door and

1452
01:26:33,439 --> 01:26:36,200
Speaker 1: get out anywhere in a crowded city, and in the

1453
01:26:36,280 --> 01:26:39,320
Speaker 1: bike lane people all so they'll they constantly run into

1454
01:26:39,360 --> 01:26:41,000
Speaker 1: people who are trying to get out. And I know

1455
01:26:41,040 --> 01:26:44,559
Speaker 1: you'd say you have to look, but you're talking about

1456
01:26:44,680 --> 01:26:47,800
Speaker 1: a very dense environment where people are you know, cars

1457
01:26:47,840 --> 01:26:49,600
Speaker 1: are flying around, not flying, but you know what I mean,

1458
01:26:49,640 --> 01:26:52,240
Speaker 1: They're moving around all over the place. They're double parked

1459
01:26:52,280 --> 01:26:55,640
Speaker 1: cars very hard to have clear view, and the bicyclists

1460
01:26:55,720 --> 01:26:58,559
Speaker 1: they slip right between cars and they can hit your

1461
01:26:58,600 --> 01:27:00,840
Speaker 1: door really easily, and then they act like lunatics about it.

1462
01:27:02,800 --> 01:27:06,600
Speaker 1: So there's that, but even beyond that, they I have

1463
01:27:06,800 --> 01:27:10,320
Speaker 1: never had a a oh my gosh, I almost got

1464
01:27:10,439 --> 01:27:13,240
Speaker 1: hit by that car experience in New York City. Really,

1465
01:27:14,160 --> 01:27:17,800
Speaker 1: I've had I almost got killed by bicyclists probably twenty times,

1466
01:27:18,800 --> 01:27:22,559
Speaker 1: because they they will go twenty five or thirty miles

1467
01:27:22,560 --> 01:27:24,160
Speaker 1: an hour the speed limit in New York City. I think,

1468
01:27:24,160 --> 01:27:26,760
Speaker 1: producer Mark, what is it, twenty miles an hour for

1469
01:27:26,920 --> 01:27:31,040
Speaker 1: cars or bikes? Cars? Twenty five twenty five? Okay, so

1470
01:27:31,200 --> 01:27:33,800
Speaker 1: the bicyclist will go thirty miles an hour. But the

1471
01:27:33,880 --> 01:27:37,439
Speaker 1: thing about bicyclists going thus speed limit for cars is

1472
01:27:37,520 --> 01:27:40,479
Speaker 1: that they don't have breaks the same way that a

1473
01:27:40,640 --> 01:27:45,240
Speaker 1: car does, and they will run right into you. They

1474
01:27:45,600 --> 01:27:48,519
Speaker 1: have killed people this way, and they'll go down the

1475
01:27:48,760 --> 01:27:51,800
Speaker 1: one way street the wrong way. They'll run through red

1476
01:27:51,920 --> 01:27:54,560
Speaker 1: lights and not think about it. I'm just gonna tell you.

1477
01:27:54,840 --> 01:28:01,200
Speaker 1: Urban bicyclists are the modern day concrete terrorists. And it's

1478
01:28:01,360 --> 01:28:03,720
Speaker 1: it's just reality. And I know you know, I don't

1479
01:28:03,760 --> 01:28:05,080
Speaker 1: know what to tell you. I don't know what it is.

1480
01:28:05,160 --> 01:28:08,160
Speaker 1: There's like a culture among I'm not talking about delivery people. Really,

1481
01:28:08,160 --> 01:28:12,320
Speaker 1: it's not delivery people. It's bicyclist commuters, and it's not

1482
01:28:12,439 --> 01:28:14,599
Speaker 1: really the people on the weekends who are having fun,

1483
01:28:15,160 --> 01:28:17,040
Speaker 1: you know, just want to go toward the city, even

1484
01:28:17,120 --> 01:28:19,960
Speaker 1: it is I'm taking a bike to get to my office.

1485
01:28:20,000 --> 01:28:23,040
Speaker 1: Not by the way, I'm not talking motorcycles. Be very clear,

1486
01:28:23,360 --> 01:28:26,040
Speaker 1: all right, I don't need you know, Team Buck, Hell's

1487
01:28:26,080 --> 01:28:28,600
Speaker 1: Angels or whatever whoever, you know, whatever bikers list of

1488
01:28:28,640 --> 01:28:31,400
Speaker 1: the show. You know, that's all good. We're not we're

1489
01:28:31,439 --> 01:28:34,880
Speaker 1: not talking about your thing if you're on a motorized bike.

1490
01:28:34,920 --> 01:28:38,280
Speaker 1: Because you don't see people on a motorcycle running a

1491
01:28:38,360 --> 01:28:41,080
Speaker 1: red light, going the wrong way at like top speed

1492
01:28:41,160 --> 01:28:44,760
Speaker 1: and thinking that that's totally normal and legit. Bicyclists they'll

1493
01:28:44,800 --> 01:28:47,040
Speaker 1: go on the sidewalk, they'll go the wrong way up

1494
01:28:47,080 --> 01:28:52,360
Speaker 1: the street. There, Okay. I've just and you know, they

1495
01:28:52,479 --> 01:28:55,000
Speaker 1: they prevented the other things. They prevented those nerdy electric

1496
01:28:55,080 --> 01:28:59,160
Speaker 1: scooters from really being the shareable electric scooters from being

1497
01:28:59,439 --> 01:29:01,200
Speaker 1: deployed in New York City. I think that's a shame.

1498
01:29:01,600 --> 01:29:05,559
Speaker 1: Those electric scooters were a lot of fun. Producer Mark,

1499
01:29:05,560 --> 01:29:07,840
Speaker 1: you don't have talking about those scooters. Yes, they're very

1500
01:29:08,320 --> 01:29:12,200
Speaker 1: San Francisco, right all over San fran and LA. But

1501
01:29:12,280 --> 01:29:15,280
Speaker 1: it's interesting people actually turned against them in places like

1502
01:29:15,360 --> 01:29:18,639
Speaker 1: Santa Monica. You'd find them vandalized and because they would

1503
01:29:18,680 --> 01:29:20,280
Speaker 1: find them all over the street and people didn't like

1504
01:29:20,400 --> 01:29:23,080
Speaker 1: the aesthetic of them. But they were you know, green

1505
01:29:23,320 --> 01:29:25,439
Speaker 1: in the sense that they were all electric and anyway,

1506
01:29:26,040 --> 01:29:29,360
Speaker 1: so Buddha Judge wants to expand you know, bicycles and

1507
01:29:29,479 --> 01:29:32,519
Speaker 1: walking on the street. Let's hope that doesn't happen. This

01:30:05,200 --> 01:30:08,200
Speaker 1: party here. We like to party. It's not just politics.

1516
01:30:08,280 --> 01:30:11,320
Speaker 1: We like to party on The Buck Sexton Show. That's

1517
01:30:11,320 --> 01:30:13,240
Speaker 1: also why everyone should got Buckexon dot com and sign

1518
01:30:13,320 --> 01:30:16,240
Speaker 1: up for our email newsletter. The more emails we get,

1519
01:30:16,240 --> 01:30:17,519
Speaker 1: we got to get a certain number, then me get

1520
01:30:17,560 --> 01:30:19,960
Speaker 1: us through. We start producing an email newsletter to send

01:30:20,000 --> 01:30:21,439
Speaker 1: out to you. It's gonna be great stuff. You're gonna

1522
01:30:21,479 --> 01:30:24,599
Speaker 1: love it. All of a sudden, govern A Cuomo, it's calling.

1523
01:30:24,600 --> 01:30:27,680
Speaker 1: If you do a newsletter, the news letter, all you,

1524
01:30:27,760 --> 01:30:30,920
Speaker 1: dude is given me your email. Your email will be used.

1525
01:30:31,400 --> 01:30:35,240
Speaker 1: You get it. You get the idea. So yeah, it's uh,

1526
01:30:35,400 --> 01:30:37,360
Speaker 1: we're almost through February producing mark, which I don't know

1527
01:30:37,360 --> 01:30:40,280
Speaker 1: if you know this February is the worst month. Why

1528
01:30:40,400 --> 01:30:43,400
Speaker 1: is that? Were you aware of that? February? It wasn't

1529
01:30:43,439 --> 01:30:47,679
Speaker 1: aware why because it's cold and you're in the middle

1530
01:30:47,680 --> 01:30:51,840
Speaker 1: of winter and it's um not good for a lot

1531
01:30:51,880 --> 01:30:56,560
Speaker 1: of people can get spring brick during February. Dude, I

1532
01:30:56,600 --> 01:30:59,200
Speaker 1: thought it was in March. I think public schools do

1533
01:30:59,400 --> 01:31:04,680
Speaker 1: the President's Week maybe marches from college. Yes, yes, yes,

1534
01:31:04,800 --> 01:31:07,519
Speaker 1: that's correct, that's correct. Okay, So mabe, that's good because

1535
01:31:07,520 --> 01:31:09,639
Speaker 1: having a week off in February would really help because

1536
01:31:09,920 --> 01:31:13,280
Speaker 1: we've been through in February, you've been through January, and

1537
01:31:13,439 --> 01:31:16,120
Speaker 1: I know Florida people, you're like Bucket's eighty degrees here.

1538
01:31:16,200 --> 01:31:18,360
Speaker 1: I'm having a great time working on my ten. But

1539
01:31:18,800 --> 01:31:20,479
Speaker 1: you know, for like most of the rest of the country,

1540
01:31:20,960 --> 01:31:23,559
Speaker 1: we've been freezing our butts off. We've been through enough

1541
01:31:23,640 --> 01:31:25,479
Speaker 1: of this. We got the COVID thing on top of

1542
01:31:25,520 --> 01:31:27,960
Speaker 1: all these other stuff. So February is a rough one.

1543
01:31:28,000 --> 01:31:31,000
Speaker 1: But we're gonna get through February real quick. You know,

1544
01:31:31,000 --> 01:31:33,160
Speaker 1: we're gonna be done with February real soon. So that's

1545
01:31:33,200 --> 01:31:35,400
Speaker 1: the good. Well, Blanket, it'll be more real day already,

1546
01:31:36,200 --> 01:31:40,040
Speaker 1: I know, be warm outside. All of a sudden, people

1547
01:31:40,080 --> 01:31:42,040
Speaker 1: will be masks shaming me as I walk around in

1548
01:31:42,080 --> 01:31:44,160
Speaker 1: the open air without a mask on. It's gonna be brilliant.

1549
01:31:44,720 --> 01:31:48,000
Speaker 1: All right, let's um, I think, is there what sports

1550
01:31:48,040 --> 01:31:49,680
Speaker 1: are still going on now? And just check into the

1551
01:31:49,960 --> 01:31:51,760
Speaker 1: penalty box here for a second. What do you got?

1552
01:31:51,880 --> 01:31:56,320
Speaker 1: We've got hockey at basketball until April one, baseball starts. Okay,

1553
01:31:56,800 --> 01:32:01,840
Speaker 1: all right? Are the New York Nick's any good? They're improved.

1554
01:32:02,040 --> 01:32:04,160
Speaker 1: I think they might even be a playoff team this year.

1555
01:32:04,560 --> 01:32:07,320
Speaker 1: Oh okay, But in the NBA, it's really only three

1556
01:32:07,439 --> 01:32:09,480
Speaker 1: or four teams that have a chance to win a championship,

1557
01:32:09,520 --> 01:32:11,920
Speaker 1: and the rest are just kind of kind? Was that

1558
01:32:12,120 --> 01:32:16,640
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Golden State? Right, and anyone else? Well? No,

1559
01:32:17,280 --> 01:32:19,439
Speaker 1: the Lake, Well, I don't know about the Golden State.

1560
01:32:19,520 --> 01:32:21,519
Speaker 1: This year, the Lakers, the Nets are actually very good.

1561
01:32:21,560 --> 01:32:23,960
Speaker 1: They're one of the best teams in the league. Oh interesting,

1562
01:32:24,040 --> 01:32:26,680
Speaker 1: I was unaware of that. Okay, all right, let's get

1563
01:32:26,680 --> 01:32:28,960
Speaker 1: to roll call here and let's kick it off with

1564
01:32:29,160 --> 01:32:33,439
Speaker 1: Brian this first up. She'll tie buck. Excellent show, glad.

1565
01:32:33,520 --> 01:32:35,720
Speaker 1: I found your show when I live in Colorado. I

1566
01:32:35,840 --> 01:32:38,640
Speaker 1: moved to Texas in August of last year, and I'm

1567
01:32:38,720 --> 01:32:40,800
Speaker 1: trying to reach out to local and state reps and

1568
01:32:40,880 --> 01:32:44,320
Speaker 1: engage in a conversation with friends appropriately. To open eyes

1569
01:32:45,000 --> 01:32:47,320
Speaker 1: seems to fall on deaf ears at times, but I'll

1570
01:32:47,320 --> 01:32:49,759
Speaker 1: be able to have a clear conscience if things get crazy.

1571
01:32:50,360 --> 01:32:53,280
Speaker 1: I pray for intelligence and reason to win the day,

1572
01:32:53,840 --> 01:32:55,760
Speaker 1: but I'll be able to stand before God and say

1573
01:32:55,800 --> 01:32:59,120
Speaker 1: that I try at all peaceful and legal means. The

1574
01:32:59,240 --> 01:33:02,080
Speaker 1: COVID fight is the great fight, and we are not

1575
01:33:02,280 --> 01:33:06,160
Speaker 1: winning yet. Keep up the excellent WUHAN virus coverage. My

1576
01:33:06,280 --> 01:33:08,439
Speaker 1: New Year's resolution was to be masked free. I will

1577
01:33:08,520 --> 01:33:10,960
Speaker 1: not cause a scene if asked to wear one, but

1578
01:33:11,200 --> 01:33:14,080
Speaker 1: I roll in without one if I can, trying to

1579
01:33:14,160 --> 01:33:16,280
Speaker 1: do what I can for freedom. My immigrant father taught

1580
01:33:16,320 --> 01:33:18,200
Speaker 1: me to love this land and its values, and I

1581
01:33:18,280 --> 01:33:22,360
Speaker 1: do love your Halloween drag of the special? Was that

1582
01:33:22,479 --> 01:33:26,400
Speaker 1: the last historical podcast, Brian? That was the last Shields

1583
01:33:26,439 --> 01:33:29,760
Speaker 1: High History podcast. There are more in production. We have

1584
01:33:29,920 --> 01:33:34,880
Speaker 1: one already recorded, and quite honestly, we're just we're lining

1585
01:33:34,960 --> 01:33:36,639
Speaker 1: it up so that it actually will be a business

1586
01:33:36,720 --> 01:33:40,760
Speaker 1: for us. We're getting sponsors for those podcasts, and so

1587
01:33:41,160 --> 01:33:44,320
Speaker 1: that's what's the delay right now. But there will be more.

1588
01:33:45,040 --> 01:33:47,000
Speaker 1: The Siege of Malta is up next, and then we'll

1589
01:33:47,040 --> 01:33:53,040
Speaker 1: have the Battle of Lepanto and then maybe the Siege

1590
01:33:53,080 --> 01:33:57,080
Speaker 1: of Vienna, and then I'm probably gonna do the crossing

1591
01:33:57,200 --> 01:34:00,200
Speaker 1: Hannibal crossing the Alps in the Second Punic War. A

1592
01:34:00,280 --> 01:34:02,600
Speaker 1: whole slate, a whole bunch of things that are in

1593
01:34:02,640 --> 01:34:06,679
Speaker 1: the mix. So thank you, Brian, and appreciate you writing

1594
01:34:06,760 --> 01:34:10,080
Speaker 1: in and sharing your thoughts. It was great to have you.

1595
01:34:10,360 --> 01:34:12,880
Speaker 1: And you're yeah, you're in Texas now from Colorado. I

1596
01:34:13,160 --> 01:34:16,519
Speaker 1: hope you enjoy that move and it feels like it

1597
01:34:16,520 --> 01:34:21,680
Speaker 1: feels like home. Russ Buck, I like you was horrified

1598
01:34:22,000 --> 01:34:24,559
Speaker 1: by the events that occurred on January sixth of Congress,

1599
01:34:25,040 --> 01:34:27,799
Speaker 1: not because I thought these people posed any real threat,

1600
01:34:28,240 --> 01:34:32,120
Speaker 1: but because of what the left would twist this into. Unfortunately,

1601
01:34:32,280 --> 01:34:35,360
Speaker 1: as of two five, twenty twenty one, we're both right

1602
01:34:35,880 --> 01:34:38,760
Speaker 1: and the left is clamping down like a vice. One

1603
01:34:38,840 --> 01:34:42,000
Speaker 1: of the tenets of conservatism is that political feuds are

1604
01:34:42,120 --> 01:34:45,040
Speaker 1: settled at the ballot box, not on the streets. We

1605
01:34:45,200 --> 01:34:47,280
Speaker 1: defeat our enemies on the field of ideas, not on

1606
01:34:47,360 --> 01:34:50,000
Speaker 1: the playground. So when that breaks down, the left has

1607
01:34:50,040 --> 01:34:52,680
Speaker 1: an open season on conservatives, and quite frankly, there is

1608
01:34:52,720 --> 01:34:56,320
Speaker 1: little defense. It does not matter how hypocritical this reasoning is.

1609
01:34:56,479 --> 01:34:58,760
Speaker 1: It does not matter that the left does everything to

1610
01:34:58,840 --> 01:35:02,920
Speaker 1: encourage violence against anything where everything not openly of course, Well,

1611
01:35:03,000 --> 01:35:06,160
Speaker 1: sometimes we know how these things manifest. You've talked about

1612
01:35:06,200 --> 01:35:08,880
Speaker 1: the events many times on your show. None of that

1613
01:35:09,080 --> 01:35:11,559
Speaker 1: matters as long as ninety percent of the media operate

1614
01:35:11,640 --> 01:35:16,000
Speaker 1: as the Democrat, socialist totalitarian propaganda machine. I do believe

1615
01:35:16,040 --> 01:35:18,640
Speaker 1: there is hope because of the already evident overreach of

1616
01:35:18,720 --> 01:35:23,600
Speaker 1: the illegitimate Biden regime. One can hope. Well, russ I

1617
01:35:23,680 --> 01:35:26,479
Speaker 1: think you said a lot there, so I have my

1618
01:35:26,560 --> 01:35:29,800
Speaker 1: concerns too. About the trajectory of this country. I think that,

1619
01:35:30,640 --> 01:35:32,559
Speaker 1: you know, you know that unlike there's some shows where

1620
01:35:32,560 --> 01:35:35,800
Speaker 1: everything is, oh, the economy's gonna crash tomorrow. Oh you know,

1621
01:35:35,920 --> 01:35:38,200
Speaker 1: the Jihadis are gonna win tomorrow. Oh, where you know,

1622
01:35:38,280 --> 01:35:42,559
Speaker 1: there's everything is just rolling from one imminent end at

1623
01:35:42,560 --> 01:35:44,880
Speaker 1: all crisis to another. I don't do that here. But

1624
01:35:45,040 --> 01:35:51,879
Speaker 1: I do believe, and would defend this proposition vigorously if challenged,

1625
01:35:52,240 --> 01:35:56,320
Speaker 1: that freedom in America is under greater threat right now

1626
01:35:56,479 --> 01:35:59,160
Speaker 1: than at any time in my thirty nine years of life.

1627
01:36:00,760 --> 01:36:04,320
Speaker 1: Freedom in America right now is in its most precarious

1628
01:36:04,360 --> 01:36:08,720
Speaker 1: position in my lifetime. I really believe that. And it's

1629
01:36:08,760 --> 01:36:10,840
Speaker 1: not just it's not a O Biden one and I'm

1630
01:36:10,880 --> 01:36:14,600
Speaker 1: panicking panicking thing. It's that all the different forces in

1631
01:36:14,680 --> 01:36:19,080
Speaker 1: our society coming together to suppress speech and ideas and

1632
01:36:19,400 --> 01:36:23,519
Speaker 1: think that they're virtuous for doing so. They really believe

1633
01:36:24,520 --> 01:36:28,160
Speaker 1: that what they're doing is responsible and good and helpful,

1634
01:36:28,960 --> 01:36:35,400
Speaker 1: and don't see it as a huge gateway to totalitarianism,

1635
01:36:35,479 --> 01:36:39,000
Speaker 1: which is, of course is what it is. But they've

1636
01:36:39,600 --> 01:36:42,280
Speaker 1: they've they've abandoned this concept. They no longer think of

1637
01:36:42,960 --> 01:36:46,760
Speaker 1: free speech and free ideas as necessary for the functioning

1638
01:36:46,800 --> 01:36:48,479
Speaker 1: of our society the way that it should go, so

1639
01:36:48,640 --> 01:36:52,760
Speaker 1: that I view that as very, very very troubling. And

1640
01:36:52,840 --> 01:36:54,120
Speaker 1: by the way, I want you all to write in

1641
01:36:54,360 --> 01:36:56,280
Speaker 1: and you know, for roll Call and tell me it's

1642
01:36:56,320 --> 01:36:58,920
Speaker 1: just you know, things that you if there are certain

1643
01:36:59,040 --> 01:37:01,519
Speaker 1: guests you really love hearing from on this show that

1644
01:37:01,600 --> 01:37:04,639
Speaker 1: you've heard from before. People. I do like when people

1645
01:37:04,640 --> 01:37:06,920
Speaker 1: give me recommendations. But you know, if you tell me Buck,

1646
01:37:06,960 --> 01:37:09,639
Speaker 1: have Joe Rogan on your show, it's like, yeah, he's

1647
01:37:09,680 --> 01:37:12,400
Speaker 1: pretty busy. It's not easy to get certain people to

1648
01:37:12,960 --> 01:37:15,160
Speaker 1: be a guest on another show. So just keep that

1649
01:37:15,280 --> 01:37:17,479
Speaker 1: in mind. If you're like Buck get Trump back, Sure

1650
01:37:17,840 --> 01:37:20,599
Speaker 1: I will at some point, but you know that's that's

1651
01:37:20,640 --> 01:37:22,559
Speaker 1: not as easy as just picking up the phone and dling.

1652
01:37:22,640 --> 01:37:24,320
Speaker 1: But any of our regulars you'd like to hear from

Speaker 1: a You know this, this is a presentation right radio.

1666
01:38:02,280 --> 01:38:05,000
Speaker 1: It's a conversation, but it's it's in a presentation format

1667
01:38:05,080 --> 01:38:09,400
Speaker 1: because I'm having to do the speaking right now. But

1668
01:38:09,560 --> 01:38:12,600
Speaker 1: when I can in real time interact with you via Facebook,

1669
01:38:13,600 --> 01:38:16,439
Speaker 1: that's a really fun way to have an exchange of

1670
01:38:16,560 --> 01:38:19,360
Speaker 1: ideas and to get a better and even better sense

1671
01:38:19,400 --> 01:38:21,360
Speaker 1: of where you are. All of you listening to this

1672
01:38:21,439 --> 01:38:24,240
Speaker 1: who want to join in on that, So Facebook dot com,

1673

Speaker 1: slash buck Sex, then please give me a follow there

1674
01:38:26,600 --> 01:38:28,200
Speaker 1: if you're listening to this you haven't already followed me

1675
01:38:28,280 --> 01:38:30,519
Speaker 1: on Facebook, because we are going to be doing more

1676
01:38:30,520 --> 01:38:32,960
Speaker 1: there and those are saying bark, but what about I'm

1677
01:38:33,000 --> 01:38:36,120
Speaker 1: waiting for Parlor to come back. I know, Facebook tyrant

1678
01:38:36,200 --> 01:38:40,840
Speaker 1: censor stuff. My my approach to this is I use

1679
01:38:41,040 --> 01:38:43,960
Speaker 1: the tools that I have to reach you and spread

1680
01:38:44,040 --> 01:38:48,360
Speaker 1: the word while I have them. That's that's the it's

1681
01:38:48,439 --> 01:38:51,400
Speaker 1: my all of the above approach. You know, I'm I'm

1682
01:38:51,479 --> 01:38:55,799
Speaker 1: going forward on Twitter, on Facebook, on Parlor, on Instagram,

1683
01:38:56,080 --> 01:38:58,639
Speaker 1: I'm on TikTok even. I know that Chinese are looking

1684
01:38:58,680 --> 01:39:00,880
Speaker 1: at all my data and stuff, but I'm using it.

1685
01:39:01,040 --> 01:39:04,240
Speaker 1: I'm using the platforms that exist. And remember they shut

1686
01:39:04,320 --> 01:39:06,719
Speaker 1: down Parlor and they've even come after Rumble. I believe

1687
01:39:06,720 --> 01:39:11,400
Speaker 1: a little bit. I have to operate within the framework

1688
01:39:11,479 --> 01:39:14,120
Speaker 1: of the technology that exists and the platforms that exist.

1689
01:39:14,280 --> 01:39:16,360
Speaker 1: Right now, I am hoping to be a part in

1690
01:39:16,400 --> 01:39:18,120
Speaker 1: the future, and I'm already talking to people about this,

1691
01:39:18,200 --> 01:39:21,919
Speaker 1: about creating a platform that I will be able to control.

1692
01:39:23,320 --> 01:39:26,479
Speaker 1: But that's the ways off. So for right now, I'm

1693
01:39:26,520 --> 01:39:28,879
Speaker 1: taking that all the above approach, and that includes Facebook

1694
01:39:28,960 --> 01:39:31,120
Speaker 1: until they kick me off, which could happen at any time.

1695
01:39:32,040 --> 01:39:33,800
Speaker 1: But I'm going to be doing lives there to reach

1696
01:39:33,840 --> 01:39:35,320
Speaker 1: out to all of you because I want us to

1697
01:39:35,400 --> 01:39:38,600
Speaker 1: have that higher level of connectivity that I wanted to

1698
01:39:38,640 --> 01:39:41,120
Speaker 1: be a conversation and I got people listening to the

1699
01:39:41,160 --> 01:39:43,960
Speaker 1: show from all over the country, you know, I mean,

1700
01:39:44,040 --> 01:39:47,920
Speaker 1: there's we're talking. We reach millions of people. I mean,

1701
01:39:47,960 --> 01:39:50,600
Speaker 1: I usually say hundreds of thousands to be you know,

1702
01:39:50,880 --> 01:39:52,639
Speaker 1: kind of keep the number a little lower to be modest.

1703
01:39:52,720 --> 01:39:55,120
Speaker 1: But we reach millions of people in America with this show.

1704
01:39:56,080 --> 01:39:59,760
Speaker 1: So I think that that's, you know, on a month

1705
01:40:00,040 --> 01:40:03,920
Speaker 1: month basis, that's what the real reaches. And I think

1706
01:40:03,960 --> 01:40:07,160
Speaker 1: that everyone should just have their opportunity if they want

1707
01:40:07,200 --> 01:40:09,160
Speaker 1: to try to talk to me directly and tell me

1708
01:40:09,240 --> 01:40:12,040
Speaker 1: what they're thinking. And and this is this is the

1709
01:40:12,439 --> 01:40:15,000
Speaker 1: way that we well I was gonna borrow for Mandalorian.

1710
01:40:15,120 --> 01:40:17,040
Speaker 1: This is the way. So there you go. This is

1711
01:40:17,080 --> 01:40:21,600
Speaker 1: the way you're listening to the Buck Sexton Choke podcast.

1712
01:40:21,880 --> 01:40:24,600
Speaker 1: Make sure you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeartRadio

1713

1715
01:40:30,680 --> 01:40:32,960
Speaker 1: catching up on some episodes from last week and heard

1716
01:40:33,000 --> 01:40:36,240
Speaker 1: you talking about the Vegas rent a machine gun come

1717
01:40:36,320 --> 01:40:38,760
Speaker 1: to Georgia where you can drive a tank that will

1718
01:40:38,800 --> 01:40:41,519
Speaker 1: beat the machine gun. Well, Jason, I will have you

1719
01:40:41,640 --> 01:40:43,920
Speaker 1: know that in my time at the CIA, I actually

1720
01:40:43,960 --> 01:40:47,000
Speaker 1: received some tank driving training, believe it or not, just

1721
01:40:47,160 --> 01:40:50,599
Speaker 1: a familiarization, not real, not real, because there's like real

1722
01:40:50,720 --> 01:40:53,680
Speaker 1: tank drivers and gunners listening to this. I didn't. It

1723
01:40:53,880 --> 01:40:58,000
Speaker 1: was like a FAM familiarization, FAM FAM thing. You know,

1724
01:40:58,040 --> 01:41:00,040
Speaker 1: I just got to drive an old I think it

1725
01:41:00,120 --> 01:41:04,160
Speaker 1: was a a T fifty two, maybe an old Soviet.

1726
01:41:04,680 --> 01:41:07,320
Speaker 1: It's like driving a lawn rower. Man. It was not complicated.

1727
01:41:07,360 --> 01:41:09,559
Speaker 1: There's like a thing you pushed forward to go forward,

1728
01:41:09,600 --> 01:41:11,000
Speaker 1: a thing you pushed to the side to go to

1729
01:41:11,080 --> 01:41:12,960
Speaker 1: the side, like a lever. It's not even a wheel.

1730
01:41:13,800 --> 01:41:15,640
Speaker 1: I think it was a Russian T fifty two or

1731
01:41:15,680 --> 01:41:20,320
Speaker 1: T fifty five tank. I can't I can't even remember now. Um,

1732

Speaker 1: So I got a producer, Mark, you ever driven to it? Wait?

01:41:23,680 --> 01:41:27,439
Speaker 1: Was it a T? Yeah? That sounds right, um, producer Mark,

1734
01:41:27,560 --> 01:41:29,519
Speaker 1: Have you ever driven a tank before? I can't say

1735
01:41:29,560 --> 01:41:31,320
Speaker 1: I've been in the position to drive a tank. No,

01:41:38,760 --> 01:41:40,280
Speaker 1: of fun. Yeah, that sounds like a fun act. It

1740
01:41:40,400 --> 01:41:43,160
Speaker 1: is very loud and goes bang, bang bang. I'd wear

1741
01:41:43,280 --> 01:41:46,000
Speaker 1: some plugs. Yeah, yeah, you definitely want to wear your plugs,

1742
01:41:46,080 --> 01:41:48,800
Speaker 1: especially in my profession. My hear it's kind of yeah, yeah,

1743
01:41:48,880 --> 01:41:50,519
Speaker 1: me too. If you get up on the two forty

1744
01:41:50,560 --> 01:41:51,880
Speaker 1: golf and you want to, you know, you want to

1745
01:41:51,960 --> 01:41:56,120
Speaker 1: let that puppy, let that puppy rip, you gotta uh,

1746
01:41:56,960 --> 01:41:59,439
Speaker 1: you gotta definitely make sure you got your ears your

1747
01:41:59,479 --> 01:42:05,120
Speaker 1: ears cover. So um yea all right, important stuff. But yeah, Jason,

1748
01:42:05,160 --> 01:42:08,000
Speaker 1: Georgia sounds like fun. Man, Georgia sounds like a good time.

1749
01:42:08,360 --> 01:42:10,679
Speaker 1: I'm a fan of the state of Georgia. We gotta

1750
01:42:10,680 --> 01:42:13,880
Speaker 1: flip it red, though, ladies and gents. I'm a big

1751
01:42:13,960 --> 01:42:16,639
Speaker 1: believer in this. You know, Republicans have got to start

1752
01:42:16,720 --> 01:42:20,320
Speaker 1: being strategic about where they live, you know. And I'm

1753
01:42:20,400 --> 01:42:22,240
Speaker 1: I know you're gonna say, Buck, you live in New York.

1754
01:42:22,840 --> 01:42:25,679
Speaker 1: That's not gonna last. I'm gonna move to a red state.

1755
01:42:25,800 --> 01:42:28,439
Speaker 1: It's gonna happen. It's gonna happen in the next year

1756
01:42:28,520 --> 01:42:31,800
Speaker 1: or two. So you know, that's that's coming down the

1757
01:42:32,040 --> 01:42:34,679
Speaker 1: that's coming down the pike. Um, and I gotta figure

1758
01:42:34,680 --> 01:42:35,920
Speaker 1: out where it is. I mean, does a part of

1759
01:42:35,960 --> 01:42:39,439
Speaker 1: me it's like, we gotta absolutely get Georgia back in

1760
01:42:39,479 --> 01:42:42,080
Speaker 1: the red. We gotta get North Carolina solid red. It's

1761
01:42:42,120 --> 01:42:46,200
Speaker 1: really a toss up state right now. Um. We gotta

1762
01:42:46,520 --> 01:42:48,479
Speaker 1: run up the scoreboard a little bit more in Florida

1763
01:42:48,560 --> 01:42:50,640
Speaker 1: so that it becomes a red stronghold than not just

1764
01:42:51,520 --> 01:42:56,519
Speaker 1: a likely red. We gotta we gotta get Pennsylvania. You know,

1765
01:42:56,840 --> 01:42:59,840
Speaker 1: we lost Pennsylvania this last one. We need, folks to

1766
01:43:00,520 --> 01:43:02,920
Speaker 1: the problem of Pennsylvania. Is he probably proved more what's

1767
01:43:02,960 --> 01:43:04,960
Speaker 1: the tax rate like theren't even that's probably pretty high.

1768
01:43:06,200 --> 01:43:08,599
Speaker 1: I'm not sure. Off the top of my head, I'm looking. Yeah,

1769
01:43:08,760 --> 01:43:10,560
Speaker 1: I'm just wondering. I mean, it's not it's not a

1770
01:43:10,680 --> 01:43:14,040
Speaker 1: zero tax state. I know that. So you know, it's

1771
01:43:14,080 --> 01:43:16,600
Speaker 1: not like Tennessee or some of these other places like

1772
01:43:16,680 --> 01:43:19,920
Speaker 1: the Promised Land Texas. I know, I know I haven't

1773
01:43:19,960 --> 01:43:21,840
Speaker 1: been given as much love to the Great State of

1774
01:43:21,920 --> 01:43:25,880
Speaker 1: Texas lately as I usually do and have throughout my career.

1775
01:43:26,439 --> 01:43:28,559
Speaker 1: But I'm just it's it's not I mean, I love Texans.

1776
01:43:28,680 --> 01:43:30,400
Speaker 1: It's like if I ever had to just pick a

1777
01:43:30,479 --> 01:43:31,920
Speaker 1: place where I had to go and know that it's

1778
01:43:31,960 --> 01:43:35,760
Speaker 1: all gonna be okay, I'd moved to Texas. But I'm

1779
01:43:35,800 --> 01:43:38,800
Speaker 1: angry at Governor Abbott with the whole COVID thing, because

1780
01:43:39,000 --> 01:43:41,639
Speaker 1: he should have followed the santiss He should have followed

1781
01:43:41,640 --> 01:43:44,320
Speaker 1: the DeSantis model, and he didn't. So that's all that is.

1782
01:43:44,400 --> 01:43:46,600
Speaker 1: So I'm just a little bitter at the governor of

1783
01:43:46,680 --> 01:43:50,320
Speaker 1: Texas for not going full to Santis. That's what that is.

1784
01:43:50,760 --> 01:43:54,280
Speaker 1: But I know Texas is still Freedom's homeland and it's

1785
01:43:54,320 --> 01:43:59,240
Speaker 1: got that. It's got that going for it, which is nice. Pennsylvania,

1786
01:43:59,320 --> 01:44:01,439
Speaker 1: by the way, up three percent income tax in a

1787
01:44:01,520 --> 01:44:05,479
Speaker 1: fairly low tax state state. Oh that's not bad. That's

1788
01:44:05,520 --> 01:44:08,240
Speaker 1: not bad. I think North Carolina is like six percent,

1789
01:44:08,320 --> 01:44:10,439
Speaker 1: which is actually pretty high. And New York is you know,

1790
01:44:10,840 --> 01:44:13,400
Speaker 1: with New York City added, it's double digits fifteen yeah,

1791
01:44:13,520 --> 01:44:16,080
Speaker 1: in ten, eleven, twelve, Yeah, it's it's definitely double digits.

1792
01:44:16,120 --> 01:44:19,880
Speaker 1: So it's crazy, but it's not bad. Pennsylvania we got

1793
01:44:20,040 --> 01:44:25,040
Speaker 1: we got great station in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. We got Team Bucked.

1794
01:44:25,080 --> 01:44:29,320
Speaker 1: Pennsylvania is strong. So but where do you you know,

1795
01:44:29,520 --> 01:44:31,400
Speaker 1: if you move the Pennsylvania, where do you move? That's

1796
01:44:31,400 --> 01:44:32,880
Speaker 1: really the question. If you're gonna leave a big city

1797
01:44:32,880 --> 01:44:34,240
Speaker 1: like New York, you to pensyl I'm not going to

1798
01:44:34,320 --> 01:44:37,840
Speaker 1: Philly surrounded by Libs. Can't do that, all right, So

1799
01:44:37,920 --> 01:44:40,080
Speaker 1: I gotta find a place, probably out west in Pennsylvania.

1800
01:44:40,120 --> 01:44:41,840
Speaker 1: It's a much bigger state than you think. I actually

1801
01:44:41,920 --> 01:44:45,160
Speaker 1: drove through there to West Virginia once for a job interview.

1802
01:44:45,680 --> 01:44:49,679
Speaker 1: It took takes hours to get through Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania's huge. Yeah,

1803
01:44:50,200 --> 01:44:52,479
Speaker 1: you don't realize it until you're physically driving through it.

1804
01:44:52,800 --> 01:44:55,360
Speaker 1: It's very east to west big, you know. That's the thing.

1805
01:44:55,400 --> 01:44:57,880
Speaker 1: You can drive through Pennsylvania to get to DC from

1806
01:44:57,920 --> 01:45:00,200
Speaker 1: New York or Boston, for example, and you're like, yeah, whatever,

1807
01:45:00,240 --> 01:45:02,320
Speaker 1: you know in Pennsylvania for a little bit, you know,

1808
01:45:02,560 --> 01:45:04,920
Speaker 1: very east. It's kind of like New York State. You know,

1809
01:45:05,240 --> 01:45:08,559
Speaker 1: New York State can be Connecticut, New Jersey, New York.

1810
01:45:08,760 --> 01:45:11,639
Speaker 1: You're going back and forth, you know, all in one day,

1811
01:45:12,280 --> 01:45:14,240
Speaker 1: and then you decide you want to go. Like the

1812
01:45:14,320 --> 01:45:18,519
Speaker 1: Snow Princess is from Buffalo. Buffalo is like it's like

1813
01:45:18,680 --> 01:45:22,000
Speaker 1: you're next up Alaska. I mean, Buffalo is way out there,

1814
01:45:22,840 --> 01:45:25,240
Speaker 1: way upstate. New York might as well be a different state.

1815
01:45:25,360 --> 01:45:27,479
Speaker 1: No offense to them, but compared to you know, we

1816
01:45:27,560 --> 01:45:29,479
Speaker 1: love them, and we have our we have our we

1817
01:45:29,640 --> 01:45:34,439
Speaker 1: have our w G y uh listener in listeners up

1818
01:45:34,479 --> 01:45:36,920
Speaker 1: in Albany. And but that's but see, I don't even

1819
01:45:36,920 --> 01:45:38,960
Speaker 1: know if Albany Counts is upstate, I mean the the

1820
01:45:39,040 --> 01:45:43,280
Speaker 1: other upstate ors say Albany is downstate. I think some

1821
01:45:43,400 --> 01:45:45,760
Speaker 1: of them when you go up much farther up it's

1822
01:45:45,920 --> 01:45:48,720
Speaker 1: it's basically downstate. Yeah, well that's what I mean. Once

1823
01:45:48,760 --> 01:45:51,719
Speaker 1: you get up near like the Saint Lawrence River area,

1824
01:45:51,840 --> 01:45:55,160
Speaker 1: basically they think of it all as as very much downstate.

1825
01:45:55,240 --> 01:45:58,000
Speaker 1: So anyway, um, that's where let's get back into roll

1826

1829
01:46:07,080 --> 01:46:09,519
Speaker 1: on the state our country's in, which unfortunately is very

1830
01:46:09,560 --> 01:46:11,400
Speaker 1: sad at the moment. I hear you, as well as

1831
01:46:11,439 --> 01:46:15,160
Speaker 1: other conservative voices discussing how hypocritical, dishonest, untrustworthy, and flaw

1832
01:46:15,200 --> 01:46:17,640
Speaker 1: of the left is and completely agree. I'm writing to

1835
01:46:23,120 --> 01:46:25,360
Speaker 1: completely fed up with the constant lies. Any tips are

Speaker 1: guiding to you provide us for struggling with the country

1837
01:46:27,640 --> 01:46:30,240
Speaker 1: or with the state the country is in. Chad, keep
