Speaker 1: You're listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcast, make sure
Speaker 1: you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeartRadio app or
Speaker 1: wherever you get your podcasts. Yes, the Senate begins another
Speaker 1: impeachment trial today, this one of a former President Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: He's got the distinction of being the first president impeached twice,
Speaker 1: as well as the first to go through this process
Speaker 1: after already having left office. In order to protect our democracy,
Speaker 1: Democrats are making a mockery of it. I insist this
Speaker 1: is necessary because Trump's a uniquely evil and dangerous figure
Speaker 1: in American history. You've certainly heard that a million times.
Speaker 1: But there's a much simpler explanation for a repeat performance
Speaker 1: of this congressional absurdity. Trump broke the Libs, and all
Speaker 1: the King's horses and all the King's men couldn't put
Speaker 1: them back together again. Trump broke the lips, and they're
Speaker 1: emotionally and psychologically damaged. They were wounded by the Trump presidency,
Speaker 1: they were traumatized by Trump winning that twenty sixteen election.
Speaker 1: And so this, for them is something that they insist
Speaker 1: we go through. They insisted happens they needed to happen
Speaker 1: in the hopes that the Trump boogeyman will forever be
Speaker 1: vanquished from the political scene. This is crazy. Let's remember
Speaker 1: that from the start, everything about Donald J. Trump as
Speaker 1: president was an affront to Democrats. They abhorred his policies
Speaker 1: and vision. They detested his Maga slogan. They hated his
Speaker 1: roughness with journalists on Twitter, which was amazing most of
Speaker 1: the time, and his constant goating of our fraudulent ruling class.
Speaker 1: His refusal to bend the knee at the altar of
Speaker 1: political correctness was sacrilege. They and hated his hair and
Speaker 1: constantly bleated that Orange man bad. This is all we
Speaker 1: have to know to understand that opposition to Trump was
Speaker 1: never rooted in fairness or decency. Anything and everything was
Speaker 1: justified to take him down. Democrats, the deep state, the
Speaker 1: corporate media colluded to create a Russia Gate hoax that
Speaker 1: was meant to end Trump's presidency and caused the ruination
Speaker 1: of his brand and family, and the left all along
Speaker 1: could care less that it was all based on a
Speaker 1: big lie. In fact, they celebrated that aspect of it.
Speaker 1: It showed how powerful and how devious they were. Unhinged Antitrumpism,
Speaker 1: as we've seen at its core was always a selfish
Speaker 1: tantrum of the elites. Trump, you see, is one of them,
Speaker 1: and they felt that as one of their own, he
Speaker 1: was breaking an unspeaking, unspoken code. Here he was holding
Speaker 1: up the mirror to their incompetence and vanity in front
Speaker 1: of the whole country and for the powerful, for the elites,
Speaker 1: for the ruling class, including of course, the Romneyite wing
Speaker 1: of the GOP. Trump's twenty sixteen win was an unpardonable sin.
Speaker 1: The Democrats now want to conduct a political exorcism as
Speaker 1: a result. And here's my prediction, really, my promise to you,
Speaker 1: this is going to be a clown show. What exactly
Speaker 1: do they hope to achieve with this impeachment trial. No
Speaker 1: serious person believes the Senate will reach the two thirds
Speaker 1: vote threshold for conviction. Any Republican in a red state
Speaker 1: voting to convict Trump would be committing political suicide. That's
Speaker 1: because the Trump base would obviously take it as an insult,
Speaker 1: and it isn't an insult meant to humiliate seventy five
Speaker 1: million Trump voters. Men to treat us all like we
Speaker 1: stormed that capital, like we are all right wing qan
Speaker 1: non violent, domestic insurrectionists. Now we're just Americans who think
Speaker 1: that Donald Trump would be better if he were still
Speaker 1: in office than Joe Biden. It's pretty straightforward, really. But
Speaker 1: the point of all of this is clear. The reason
Speaker 1: the Democrats are doing all of this is vindictiveness. They
Speaker 1: think that a Democrat sent a Democrat trial the Senate
Speaker 1: will allow them to achieve what they've wanted all along,
Speaker 1: which is the repudiation of all things Trump, the elimination
Speaker 1: of him from the future, and the eradication of him
Speaker 1: from the record. It will be as if Trump never
Speaker 1: existed in our political life. That's what this is supposed
Speaker 1: to achieve, and it will allow the news media, of course,
Speaker 1: to run endless stories on a loop about Trump's incitement
Speaker 1: to insurrection. This is ultimately about that narrative creation and
Speaker 1: the destruction of a Trump brand. I still believe that
Speaker 1: the unintended consequences of this are going to come back
Speaker 1: and bite the Democrats heart, that what they're doing is
Speaker 1: completing here four years of an obvious cycle of persecution,
Speaker 1: with the wild eyed fury and vengeance of the Trump
Speaker 1: derange leading the whole thing, acting like he was Hitler,
Speaker 1: acting like he was a fascist, he was a Russian puppet.
Speaker 1: He was going to lead us to nuclear war with
Speaker 1: North Korea. That's right. The guy who didn't start a
Speaker 1: new war was the one that we were told was
Speaker 1: just minutes away from a massive conflict with Iran, or
Speaker 1: exchanging nukes with North Korea, or invading Sweden because he
Speaker 1: wanted to steal all their ergonomic chairs. Whatever. That's what
Speaker 1: they said about Trump for four years. And now they
Speaker 1: won't even let the guy leave office as he has
Speaker 1: and go into private life as is his right, without
Speaker 1: continued harassment. And this isn't just meant to harass him,
Speaker 1: It's meant to harass you. This is meant to show
Speaker 1: you that what you did, if you voted for this man,
Speaker 1: will neither be forgotten nor forgiven by your elites, by
Speaker 1: your betters. Vote for Biden, peasant. Don't you see how
Speaker 1: brilliant he is? Don't you see what a genius we
Speaker 1: have at the helm of government doing the things and
Speaker 1: the stuff, And oh yeah, oh yeah, that guy. He's
Speaker 1: now the commander in chief of the United States military.
Speaker 1: Don't you sleep better at night knowing that? And exactly
Speaker 1: what we had expected all along is what's happening. He's
Speaker 1: a pass through, he's a puppet for the radical left.
Speaker 1: They just used him because he was the facade they
Speaker 1: needed to convince enough people in a very tough year.
Speaker 1: Twenty twenty was a hell of a bad year, and
Speaker 1: it just was that's the truth, we all know it.
Speaker 1: And in a really bad year, the promise of a
Speaker 1: guy who will bring us back to normalcy just was.
Speaker 1: It was just enough with all the changes, and yes
Speaker 1: there were changes, and all the stacking of the deck,
Speaker 1: and yes there was stacking of the deck with the
Speaker 1: election and all the shenanigans and machinations behind the seeds
Speaker 1: added to Joe Biden as a manchurian candidate for the left.
Speaker 1: Guy's been around so long. How dangerous could he really be? Right?
Speaker 1: That was the whole sales pitch. They were able to
Speaker 1: get him into the Oval office. And now we see
Speaker 1: what an absurdity the whole thing is. And so they're
Speaker 1: claiming that Trump incited an insurrection. Wouldn't it be nice
Speaker 1: if we could get full answers on exactly what the extent, when,
Speaker 1: what the severity of the violence from this insurrection was
Speaker 1: before this impeachment trial commenced. Somehow it just broke recently
Speaker 1: that the one officer who did die, Officer sick Nick,
Speaker 1: at Capitol Hill, according to CNN reporting, was in no
Speaker 1: way violently beaten to death. That didn't happen. He did
Speaker 1: not have bruises, contusions, nothing, So it wasn't a it
Speaker 1: wasn't an attack the way that we were led to
Speaker 1: believe that took Officer sick Nick's life. What did and why?
Speaker 1: Isn't that an urgent matter of national concern for the media.
Speaker 1: Shouldn't we know that right away? I backed the blue
Speaker 1: I want to know what really happened, but we can't
Speaker 1: know what really happened. Insurrection. Have the trial right, verdict,
Speaker 1: first trial later, that's what they're hoping for here. But
Speaker 1: the verdict isn't even going to be what they want
Speaker 1: and they know it. So what are they really going
Speaker 1: to do. They're going to give a lot of speeches
Speaker 1: about how awful Trump was. They're going to give plenty
Speaker 1: of sound bites to see ann An MSNBC. The journalist
Speaker 1: class will go through this Catharsis where they think they've
Speaker 1: finally defeated Trumps. M they're finally getting their revenge on
Speaker 1: him for the four years of humiliation that they felt
Speaker 1: they suffered at his hand. It's really all about them.
Speaker 1: It's not about the American people, I can assure you,
Speaker 1: and it's certainly not about what's best for justice, the constitution,
Speaker 1: or the country. Nobody even remembers what the first farce
Speaker 1: impeachment of Trump was about at this point, and this one,
Speaker 1: the second impeachment two point o version, will soon fade
Speaker 1: out of the public's mind as well. But what will
Speaker 1: linger is the recognition that former President Donald J. Trump
Speaker 1: drove much of the Democrat Party insane, and that psychosis
Speaker 1: is already defining much of the Biden agenda. So strap in,
Speaker 1: my friends, it is going to be a bumpy ride.
Speaker 1: This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Follow fuck on Facebook, Instagram,
Speaker 1: and Twitter. Once again, they picked the dumbest of all
Speaker 1: impeachment articles. I mean, you got Kamala Harris with Amy
Speaker 1: Coney Barrett. Remember that mother of seven, and she's telling
Speaker 1: the whole world that Judge Barrett's coming after your healthcare
Speaker 1: and coming after your reproductive rights and coming after your
Speaker 1: voting rights. I mean, if you're dumb enough to believe that,
Speaker 1: that's going to incite you too, So what the president's
Speaker 1: lawyers are going to do is play those clips and say,
Speaker 1: you know what, if you're going to start penalizing hot
Speaker 1: political rhetoric, let's do it for both sides. This is
Speaker 1: a very important point in all of this, and it's
Speaker 1: in some ways the most troubling legacy of what has
Speaker 1: happened with the transition of power to Bide administration. They
Speaker 1: have embraced now double standards in the policing of speech
Speaker 1: that are meant to politically crush the other side. If
Speaker 1: we say fight for your rights, it's insurrection, it's violence.
Speaker 1: If they say Trump didn't really win the election, he
Speaker 1: he's an agent of Russia. Vladimir Putin has compromat on him,
Speaker 1: and oh, any moment, now you know he's going to
Speaker 1: hand the country over to the Kremlin. That's just you know,
Speaker 1: analysis and editorializing, or just straight news. I mean, they'll
Speaker 1: lie even more about it. This disparity is something that
Speaker 1: they are entirely embracing because they think they have the
Speaker 1: power now to do it. This is not a side effect,
Speaker 1: this is the intent. The Democrats want to be able
Speaker 1: to use the most inflammatory rhetoric possible. They want political
Speaker 1: violence to be excused and minimized on their side, as
Speaker 1: we see from BLM and ANTIFA constantly, and then on
Speaker 1: the other side, they want the perception to be that
Speaker 1: if you're a conservative, if you're a Republican, if you're
Speaker 1: a Trump supporter, and you say anything that borrows from
Speaker 1: the common usage martial rhetoric of politics, you're a bad person.
Speaker 1: You've incited violence. Sorry, you're responsible for that Capitol Hill insurrection.
Speaker 1: Even after the fact, you were contributing to it. Even
Speaker 1: if you weren't there and didn't say anything and didn't
Speaker 1: know about it, you're a contributor, even though it happened
Speaker 1: before you said the thing you said doesn't matter. Go
Speaker 1: back in and read just a few chapters in the
Speaker 1: in the early stages the sewage system of the of
Speaker 1: the Soviet Union was one way that soulsan Neatson would
Speaker 1: refer to this, and it's it's amazing when you see
Speaker 1: how the arguments, the arguments that would be raised by
Speaker 1: the system were. It didn't matter, it didn't matter. It
Speaker 1: was all meant to just take care of dissent. It
Speaker 1: didn't make any difference whatsoever. If you had a fair point,
Speaker 1: It didn't make any difference. If you were you know
Speaker 1: you were meant to be flushed away. Be quiet. We're
Speaker 1: in power. Shut up your arguments. Don't matter what side
Speaker 1: of the political aisle is doing that right now? Who
Speaker 1: is really doing that? Just getting rid of the argument
Speaker 1: of the other side without even engaging? Is that on
Speaker 1: the writers that on the left? We know that it's
Speaker 1: certainly on the right. We don't own the social media platforms,
Speaker 1: the corporate news media, Hollywood academia. We don't have control
Speaker 1: of these things. No corporation bends the knee and begs
Speaker 1: forgiveness for offending right wingers. No major company says, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry that. You know, Christian conservatives feel like
Speaker 1: they've been affronted in some way by one of our policies. No,
Speaker 1: quite the opposite. So who really has the power right now?
Speaker 1: Who's really calling the shots? That then brings me to
Speaker 1: this impeachment this week? Even when they're in power, it's
Speaker 1: not enough to wield it. They have to destroy the
Speaker 1: other side. Because here's something that you got to know.
Speaker 1: The single greatest asset that Republicans have is that the incompetence, absurdity, fecklessness,
Speaker 1: and phoniness of the Democrats is going to be obvious
Speaker 1: for all to see. I mean, after six more months
Speaker 1: of of bumbling, mumbling Biden and John Carry's climate lectures,
Speaker 1: you know, maybe he should just call in from the yacht,
Speaker 1: you know, really just go all in, John Carry. The
Speaker 1: midterms are going to start to look a whole lot
Speaker 1: more promising than they do right now, that's for sure.
Speaker 1: But it'll also be this will be an opportunity, you'll
Speaker 1: see this for Democrats to say the most absurd stuff
Speaker 1: you've ever heard about a president. And that's saying a
Speaker 1: lot given what they've already said about Trump. In Senator
Speaker 1: Harrono is trying to say that there might be some
Speaker 1: surprise vote from the GOP. I certainly don't think she's right,
Speaker 1: but you never know until it happens. Senator Harrono, among
Speaker 1: the I always said, among the it's probably is the
Speaker 1: dumbest person in the United States Congress. She's saying that, Oh,
Speaker 1: don't worry, there is going to be the surprise vote.
Speaker 1: Play six. Well, what I understand is that most of
Speaker 1: my Republican colleagues will vote to not convictim and hiding
Speaker 1: behind this argument which is not adhered to by most
Speaker 1: constitutional scholars, that impeaching a president who has already left
Speaker 1: office is unconstitutional. That is not the case. So they'll
Speaker 1: hide behind that. Why John, Because what is happening with
Speaker 1: my Republican colleagues, most of them, is their extreme fear
Speaker 1: of Donald Trump and the Trump base. So what's motivating
Speaker 1: them is extreme fear rather than doing their constitutional responsibility
Speaker 1: to listen to the evidence and vote for conviction. My bad,
Speaker 1: I actually misread the verbed as they call it on
Speaker 1: that one. I thought she was saying they might vote
Speaker 1: for conviction because they had been in fear. But no,
Speaker 1: she's saying they won't vote because they are scared. They
Speaker 1: won't vote for conviction because they're scared. And no, they
Speaker 1: won't vote for conviction because he didn't incite it. Insurrection
Speaker 1: and Democrats set a standard. I think this is very important,
Speaker 1: and the standard is that they are that it's allowable
Speaker 1: to question an election result as long as you're doing
Speaker 1: it against Republicans. We thought the standard was it's just
Speaker 1: allowable to question an election result, because that would be
Speaker 1: a standard. But they've got a double standard, and that's
Speaker 1: what'll be operating here. That's what we'll be going on.
Speaker 1: And then, of course more about well, we don't even
Speaker 1: have you know, they're going to talk more about how
Speaker 1: this is all about repudiating white supremacy, which is now
Speaker 1: in our discourse and in just news and analysis, the
Speaker 1: most abused and overused phrase in the English language, which
Speaker 1: is pretty astonishing we think about it. I've never heard
Speaker 1: so much referred to that has nothing to do with
Speaker 1: the original term. White supremacy is just now a catchall
Speaker 1: for we hate the other political people. They'll call anybody
Speaker 1: the same way they used to call anything they didn't
Speaker 1: like racist in the nineties. They'll call anyone they don't
Speaker 1: like now or anything any system a white supremacist, were
Speaker 1: a part of white supremacy, and never have to define it,
Speaker 1: never have to back this up. It's just the smear
Speaker 1: that's useful, and so they continue to deploy it and
Speaker 1: they and speaking of smears, you gotta hear what they're
Speaker 1: saying about Governor Ronda Santiss right now. They're delusional and
Speaker 1: they're dishonest. This is the Buck Sexton Show Podcast. Join
Speaker 1: the conversation and message Buck on Facebook, Instagram, or email
Speaker 1: Team Bucket iHeartMedia dot com. He may read it on
Speaker 1: the show. I gotta tell you and watching twenty two
Speaker 1: thousand fans in the stadium yesterday, most wearing masks, but
Speaker 1: then afterwards revelers running all around without mask. I just
Speaker 1: kept on thinking super spurt events, super spurt events, supersprit event,
Speaker 1: and I was thinking about Governor Desantists with you know,
Speaker 1: lifting all of the restrictions. I thought, you know, Florida's
Speaker 1: going to kill all of us. I really felt that way.
Speaker 1: And there should be no reason why wearing a mask
Speaker 1: has been politicized the way that it has been. There
Speaker 1: should be no reason why Governor Desantists has been so
Speaker 1: woefully inadequate in terms of protecting the people, not only
Speaker 1: of Florida, but the people of the United States. Imagine
Speaker 1: all those those people, those fourteen thousand and five hundred
Speaker 1: ticket buyers, who are now going to fly back somewhere
Speaker 1: or go back into their communities and infect other people.
Speaker 1: I thought it was just despicable and disgusting. Now she's just,
Speaker 1: I guess, not very smart, this woman on the View fourteenth.
Speaker 1: That should she really think that fourteen thousand people who
Speaker 1: are at this open air stadium and socially distanced, they
Speaker 1: all got infected. Really, it's a super Spretter event. Really,
Speaker 1: what were the Black Lives Matter protests which were outside?
Speaker 1: Were they Superspretter events? I just want to know. No,
Speaker 1: they weren't. Oh okay, So the virus discriminates on the
Speaker 1: basis of politics, right, sure, it only infects right wing
Speaker 1: outdoor gatherings. But this is also the Super Bowl. It's
Speaker 1: not even a right wing gathering. It's just people want
Speaker 1: to see football. Ah, but it's in Florida, so there's
Speaker 1: a political component to it. You see, you are going
Speaker 1: to be unfortunately dragged through dishonesty that will truly blow
Speaker 1: your mind in the months ahead. The data speaks for itself.
Speaker 1: Rhonda Santists has the third oh sorry, the Yeah, the
Speaker 1: third largest state in the country by population is in
Speaker 1: the middle of the pack nationwide for COVID mortality. That
Speaker 1: includes states like Wyoming, Vermont, Montana. Yeah, that includes states
Speaker 1: where there's far fewer people, no real cities to speak of,
Speaker 1: you know, large cities to speak of. Sorry, and you
Speaker 1: know you're talking about Florida, which was open the whole
Speaker 1: time and limited the tyranny of the mask shamers and
Speaker 1: the lockdown lunatics limited their tyranny and the response you
Speaker 1: get from people now looking at the data is just
Speaker 1: lie about it. Desantist is the bad guy and all
Speaker 1: of this they have to tell. They have to convince
Speaker 1: people that because unless they get them all bleeding it
Speaker 1: like the sheep they are, if they actually look at
Speaker 1: the data, they look at the numbers, you'd have to say, Okay,
Speaker 1: Desantists did not shut his state down and yet had
Speaker 1: a better, better COVID result in every possible way you
Speaker 1: can gauge it. Then then California, then New York, then
Speaker 1: New Jersey. Then I mean, I don't want to speak
Speaker 1: out of turn and guess at a number of other states,
Speaker 1: but I'm sure it's better than Michigan, better than Illinois.
Speaker 1: And they're acting like he's the bad guy. You'll you'll
Speaker 1: see this. This is gonna be very clear because you
Speaker 1: know what terrifies them think about this. Trump's down, His
Speaker 1: whole family's now down in Florida. Florida has become the
Speaker 1: new Texas in a lot of ways. Sorry Texas, I
Speaker 1: love you, but you know your governor's not been so great.
Speaker 1: Governor Abbott not so great. Austin, Little Tuloney tunes Austin
Speaker 1: with the policies I know we've got our KLBJ folks there,
Speaker 1: but how Austin I'm told as like San Francisco plopped
Speaker 1: down in the middle of Texas right now, although really
Speaker 1: good food, so that's nice. And here's what's going on
Speaker 1: with the way the Democrats are viewing all this. If
Speaker 1: Desantist is able to get that Trump apparatus behind him,
Speaker 1: with being a very effective governor, with having a record
Speaker 1: to show through a true crisis that he was he
Speaker 1: was smarter and braver and just better at this than
Speaker 1: other people in positions of authority in power, he will
Speaker 1: be a formidable candidate if he were to choose to run,
Speaker 1: and especially if the Trump's decided to get behind him.
Speaker 1: You know, maybe maybe Ivanka runs for Senate in Florida
Speaker 1: and Laura Trump runs for senator North Carolina, and you know,
Speaker 1: Donald Trump Junior decides that he wants to really just
Speaker 1: push De Santists this go round. He's still got a
Speaker 1: long time before he would have to run himself. So
Speaker 1: they're trying to deal with this right away. Stop the
Speaker 1: De Santists trained before it can get going. And I'm
Speaker 1: sure Flurdians are saying, stop trying to steal my governor
Speaker 1: Buck but the nation may need him. The nation may
Speaker 1: need him. Think about that an America First Agenda filtered
Speaker 1: through the judgment and aptitude for governance of Rhonda Santis.
Speaker 1: That could really be something. I'm gonna look, I don't
Speaker 1: want to get too early in this and celebrating before
Speaker 1: we all, but we're seeing the COVID numbers make it
Speaker 1: a very clear who's done what. But you know they're
Speaker 1: gonna lie about him. And this is why I want
Speaker 1: to establish this now for all of either going to
Speaker 1: be lying to you about de Santis play For obviously,
Speaker 1: Florida remains a hotspot the variant, it looks like it
Speaker 1: could spread very quickly around this state, and Mika vaccinations
Speaker 1: continue to go at an unbelievably slow rate. Yeah, I know,
Speaker 1: the vaccine process is painfully slow. I mean there are
Speaker 1: people who are in categories who you know are definitely
Speaker 1: applied for it right now, like my mother, People over
Speaker 1: the age of seventy who cannot get it. And then
Speaker 1: you see video of kids squashed together screaming at each other,
Speaker 1: probably drink I mean, this is just a nightmare. Well
Speaker 1: that is a COVID nightmare. You talk about your mother
Speaker 1: that there's somebody who's eighty nine who has Parkinson he
Speaker 1: can't get a vaccine. He hasn't been able to get
Speaker 1: a vaccine. And we know a lot of people who
Speaker 1: are in their mid to late seventies eighties who have
Speaker 1: underlying conditions in Florida can't get their vaccines either. Seriously,
Speaker 1: how hard has this been? I know that Ron De
Speaker 1: Santis has been stumbling around over the past year or
Speaker 1: so and has had some real problems, especially as it's
Speaker 1: pertained to vaccines, but I don't think anybody would have
Speaker 1: expected him to fill it up as badly as he has. Now,
Speaker 1: let me just give you numbers so you understand how
Speaker 1: much these idiots on Morning Joe are lying to you.
Speaker 1: They're lying to you. You hear this. Oh yeah, it's
Speaker 1: so bad. You know. De sand has done such a
Speaker 1: bad job. New York and Florida roughly equal population. New
Speaker 1: York is the epitome of the fauciite Democrat lockdown state. Okay,
Speaker 1: the epitome of it. And and I'm here and I know,
Speaker 1: and I've been dealing with it. First doses received of
Speaker 1: the vaccine in New York, and we've got roughly same
Speaker 1: population here, folks, New York and Florida first doses received
Speaker 1: one point eight million in New York. Oh, who wants
Speaker 1: to guess how many have been received in Florida? Two
Speaker 1: point seven million? So is two point seven million more
Speaker 1: than one point eight million? Does any do any libs
Speaker 1: out there? Does? Morning? Joe? Can Morning Joe? Math good
Speaker 1: for me? For a second? Here? Can you math? Good?
Speaker 1: Joe Scarborough? What's more two point seven million or one
Speaker 1: point eight million? Hmm? But John Ron de Santis on
Speaker 1: a terrible job with the factory at all? Okay, you say, well, Buck,
Speaker 1: that's only that's only one metric. Okay, Let's look at
Speaker 1: the most important metric of all deaths. And remember we're
Speaker 1: talking about a popular two. Florida has two million more people. Okay,
Speaker 1: So Florida actually, in a sense, is not a fair
Speaker 1: comparison in Florida's favor when you're looking at a number
Speaker 1: like this Florida deaths from COVID nineteen twenty seven thousand,
Speaker 1: eight hundred and fourteen New York deaths from COVID nineteen
Speaker 1: as of today, according to CDC data, forty four thousand,
Speaker 1: five hundred and twelve. Okay, again, Joe, Scarborough, Mika Brazinski,
Speaker 1: Let's see if you can math good. What's more twenty
Speaker 1: seven thousand or forty four thousand? Anybody, anybody? Bueller, bueller?
Speaker 1: But Ron Descentis has messed it up so badly, do
Speaker 1: you see, friends, we have we have a scoreboard now,
Speaker 1: so to speak with things like the vaccination, we have
Speaker 1: results to look at. Here is this is not just opinion.
Speaker 1: This is not oh, I like my guy, you like
Speaker 1: your guy. This is we actually have data from the
Speaker 1: FOUCH and the data, unequivocally, with absolute clarity, shows that
Speaker 1: Florida did better the New York over the last twelve
Speaker 1: months of dealing with this pandemic. There is no honest,
Speaker 1: serious argument otherwise it doesn't exist. And you can look
Speaker 1: at at other similar sites. By the way, New Jersey
Speaker 1: would be the same thing. Very hard lockdown in New Jersey,
Speaker 1: very serious with the virus. And if you look at
Speaker 1: other other blue states, you know, it becomes very clear
Speaker 1: what's happening here. And I want everyone to understand this.
Speaker 1: They have to lie. They have to lie about this
Speaker 1: because their power is at stake. They told you so
Speaker 1: many things that were not true, and they won't admit
Speaker 1: now even when the data speaks clearly to how they
Speaker 1: were wrong, that they were wrong, they just want to
Speaker 1: change course a little bit slowly. They told you things
Speaker 1: that were not true. They made people suffer, and they
Speaker 1: understand that if the American people come to recognize that,
Speaker 1: there will be consequences for those in charge. They will
Speaker 1: be kicked out of power because they're idiots, and the
Speaker 1: Democrat Party will lose power. So what do they do.
Speaker 1: They are just telling you things that are not true.
Speaker 1: I mean The Morning Joe and The View and these
Speaker 1: other shows. They're going after low information voters out there
Speaker 1: who watched these shows and think that they're getting intelligent
Speaker 1: analysis and an honest journalism or whatever, and they're they're
Speaker 1: just making stuff up. You cannot say that Ronda Santis
Speaker 1: has done a bad job with COVID compared to other
Speaker 1: states of similar size and population density. It is an
Speaker 1: impossible argument to make. And yet they're not. Only are
Speaker 1: they saying that he didn't do they're saying that he
Speaker 1: did a terrible job and other people did a good job,
Speaker 1: like Cuomo. Yeah, these people never cared about you. They
Speaker 1: didn't care the suffering you went through. These media talking
Speaker 1: heads did not miss a single paycheck. They don't feel
Speaker 1: bad for you when you're you know, coughing through a mask,
Speaker 1: if you're trying to go to the gym after being
Speaker 1: depressed for months and months after losing your job, after
Speaker 1: watching your kid perhaps be near suicidal because he can't
Speaker 1: see his Rhythmom care about any of that. It's all
Speaker 1: about Joe Biden winning Democrats, good people in the White House.
Speaker 1: That's what they care about. You're in the freedom hunt.
Speaker 1: Thanks for listening to The Buck Sexton Show podcast. Get
Speaker 1: the latest from Buck at buck sexton dot com. What
Speaker 1: should we be expecting this week as the second impeachment
Speaker 1: trial of Donald Trump happens after he's left office. We're
Speaker 1: joined now by our friend Danielle de Suza Gill. She
Speaker 1: is a commentator and author of a book, The Choice,
Speaker 1: The Abortion Divide in America. Danielle, great to see you,
Speaker 1: Thanks so much for me. So what are your expectations
Speaker 1: for what we're going to be going through with this
Speaker 1: post presidency impeachment trial which is fun to say, but
Speaker 1: not going to be fun to watch. Yeah, my expectation
Speaker 1: is that President who President Trump will obviously be acquitted.
Speaker 1: They won't have the vote but the left is clearly
Speaker 1: doing this as a show trial. They know that not
Speaker 1: only is this unconstitutional because he's not the president, but
Speaker 1: they also won't have the votes, so they're clearly doing
Speaker 1: this really just as a way to continue slandering him.
Speaker 1: Many media people on the left know that in order
Speaker 1: to keep their high ratings, they have to keep talking
Speaker 1: about Trump and continue kind of keeping him on the
Speaker 1: stage as someone to go against, even though Biden this president.
Speaker 1: And do you think that the GOP is going to
Speaker 1: actually be surprised by any of the votes that may
Speaker 1: be cast in favor of in favor of conviction here,
Speaker 1: we've had forty five of fifty GOP senators who have said,
Speaker 1: you know what, we don't even think this is constitutional.
Speaker 1: But that leaves a handful that may in fact cast
Speaker 1: their votes. So you could have the first ever, the
Speaker 1: first ever failed conviction here, but one that would have
Speaker 1: on the Senate side bipartisan support for a president's removal
Speaker 1: and barring from office. Yeah, I don't think it'll be
Speaker 1: too surprising. I mean, we know that a well Me,
Speaker 1: for example, is going to vote for him to be
Speaker 1: impeached because he hates Trump and so on, So I
Speaker 1: think there'll there'll be those few, but the majority of
Speaker 1: the Republican Party supports Trump and also use this as unconstitutional.
Speaker 1: And even even so, Trump is not to blame for
Speaker 1: inciting the riot. He clearly tweeted about people being peaceful
Speaker 1: and asked people to be peaceful, and then Twitter removed
Speaker 1: is tweet saying that, so clearly they don't actually care
Speaker 1: about the facts of what happened. And many people in
Speaker 1: the GOP are saying, well, this is gonna kind of
Speaker 1: keep us from uniting and moving forward. But I don't
Speaker 1: think if that's the best argument, and the best argument
Speaker 1: is that this is clearly unconstitutional one because he's not
Speaker 1: the president. And number two, he is un guilty of
Speaker 1: what you say. Speaking of Danielle to SUSA Gill, she's
Speaker 1: the author of the Choice, the abortion Divide in America,
Speaker 1: And Danielle, we've already seen some troubling stuff from the
Speaker 1: Biden administration when it comes to the issue of life
Speaker 1: and being pro life. What's going on so far and
Speaker 1: what are some of the concerns you have about where
Speaker 1: this Biden presidency. You know, he's all about his Catholic faith.
Speaker 1: They tell us he's all about being Grandpa Joe, they say,
Speaker 1: But then what we've seen so far is a lot
Speaker 1: of very left wing stuff on immigration, on energy, but
Speaker 1: also on the abortion issue. Absolutely Biden harris sake. They
Speaker 1: love to hide behind the fact that Biden claims to
Speaker 1: be Catholic, yet he has after the Mexico Citizen Mexico
Speaker 1: City Policy, Nadia America, so that we are funding abortions abroad.
Speaker 1: So not only will we will we be funding them
Speaker 1: here but in other countries. And what this shows is
Speaker 1: that America actually has some of the most radical abortion
Speaker 1: policies in the world. Many other countries have more traditional
Speaker 1: values than we do, they have more restrictions on abortion,
Speaker 1: and yet we are exporting these very radical views to
Speaker 1: other countries around the world by putting it, putting our
Speaker 1: taxpayer dollars into that. So, I mean, it's very disturbing.
Speaker 1: And many people who are Republicans before this said that, hey,
Speaker 1: you know, Biden, isn't you know this this moderate that
Speaker 1: you think he is, He actually is very radical in
Speaker 1: all these things. And now that he's he's president, he's
Speaker 1: proved to be that radical. He's included Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren,
Speaker 1: all these people in leadership positions, you know, if we
Speaker 1: if we will be on the abortion issues. So clearly
Speaker 1: Biden is operating in a place where he's he's trying
Speaker 1: to bring in a lot of the radical side of
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party while still trying to act like he's moderate,
Speaker 1: so he can kind of have the best of both
Speaker 1: worlds or something. But meanwhile, a lot of us are
Speaker 1: seeing through that, and this kind of accoun catholic argument
Speaker 1: really is just totally hollow. Yeah. I have been saying
Speaker 1: for a while that as a Catholic, he actually has
Speaker 1: a responsibility if he was serious. They say he's devout.
Speaker 1: Amy Coney Barrett is radical but on her Catholicism, but
Speaker 1: but Joe Biden is devout. Do you think that people
Speaker 1: are going to start to see through this facade more
Speaker 1: as Biden, as you said, pushes further and further to
Speaker 1: the left, including on policies that are in direct contradiction
Speaker 1: to his allegedly Catholic beliefs. Yeah. I think it's laughable
Speaker 1: that the media is trying to create this caricature of
Speaker 1: him as the most religious president we've ever had, the
Speaker 1: most Catholic president or something, posting photos of him sitting
Speaker 1: you know, in a church and so on, as if
Speaker 1: this kind of makes him, you know, a true religious believer.
Speaker 1: And the reality is that his policies go completely against that.
Speaker 1: And I think that in order for people to see that,
Speaker 1: they don't have to look too far. It's really front
Speaker 1: and center. Only a few days into being president it
Speaker 1: did he did? He do that? And he's issued all
Speaker 1: kinds of executive orders. So no, I think it's really
Speaker 1: just a chayed by the media to make him seem
Speaker 1: as though he's the great unifier. And you know, Worke
Speaker 1: priligion into this, but he clearly clearly does not consider
Speaker 1: his faith to be central to anything that he does,
Speaker 1: uses it as a shield to avoid criticism. But well,
Speaker 1: we'll continue to stay on it, Danielle, just use a
Speaker 1: guil author of the choice, Danielle. Great to see you,
Speaker 1: thanks for joining, Thanks for having me. You're listening to
Speaker 1: the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Make sure you subscribe to
Speaker 1: the podcast on the iHeart Radio app or wherever you
Speaker 1: get your podcasts. A sake bomb dropped on the Green
Speaker 1: New Deal situation. You got Jen sacki White House Press secretary,
Speaker 1: who has had some trouble with the circling back, and
Speaker 1: the ums and the odds and the UMS people are
Speaker 1: pointing out that if your job is to be the
Speaker 1: community the primary user of the microphone for the White
Speaker 1: House and the West Wing, you should have a greater
Speaker 1: fluency of speech. Perhaps, But nonetheless, here we are, and
Speaker 1: she's up there mostly getting what you would recognize very
Speaker 1: quickly as a very fluffy, friendly questions like, ah, is
Speaker 1: Joe Biden just totally in love with his dog or
Speaker 1: does he just think his dog is the greatest dog
Speaker 1: of all dogs? Just tell us, And that's what you're
Speaker 1: gonna get from the press for four years, because they
Speaker 1: really think their job now is to assist the Biden
Speaker 1: administration to stay in power and get its policies done.
Speaker 1: Speaking truth to power is the opposite of what they
Speaker 1: think their jobs are. Let's all be very clear about
Speaker 1: that right now. But occasionally there will be because there
Speaker 1: are still a few outlets left that have some access
Speaker 1: and some credibility to ask real questions. And an example
Speaker 1: of that would certainly they be Fox News and Peter Doocey,
Speaker 1: the new White House correspondent for Fox News, and he
Speaker 1: got a lot of a lot of pushback from other
Speaker 1: journalists for asking this question. But this is an excellent
Speaker 1: question because you've heard this many times. Whenever the Democrats
Speaker 1: get pushed into a corner on the jobs that are
Speaker 1: lost and the downside of their Green New Deal madness,
Speaker 1: the always go, well, you know, John Curry will say
Speaker 1: the energy workers of you know, I spoke to my
Speaker 1: gardener and he said that he knows somebody who once
Speaker 1: was near somebody who was on an oil rig. And
Speaker 1: while we may cost that person their job making ninety
Speaker 1: thousand dollars a year with good benefits, perhaps we can
Speaker 1: have them work in a Chinese solar assembly plant for
Speaker 1: fifty cents a day and save the planet. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's basically what they're telling you. Your job's gone, but
Speaker 1: don't worry. There's gonna be some other Green New Deal job.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be way better. The Green New Deal job
Speaker 1: is gonna be way better for you. Okay, there's the
Speaker 1: green who pays, who pays rent? In a few weeks,
Speaker 1: Does that imaginary Green New Deal job pay for the jobs,
Speaker 1: pay for the rents of the people that lost their
Speaker 1: jobs because of this? No. M Peter Doocey high five
Speaker 1: and a hat tip to them. Ask Jensaki A very straightforward,
Speaker 1: very important question play too. Why is it that the
Speaker 1: Biden administration is gonna let the thousands of fossil fuel
Speaker 1: industry workers, whether it's pipeline workers or construction workers, who
Speaker 1: are either out of work or will soon be out
Speaker 1: of work because will bid EO when it is and
Speaker 1: where it is that they can go for their green job,
Speaker 1: and that is something the administration has promised. There is
Speaker 1: now a gap, So I'm just curious when that happens,
Speaker 1: when those people can count on that. Well, I'd certainly
Speaker 1: welcome you to present your data of all the thousands
Speaker 1: and thousands of people who won't be getting a green job.
Speaker 1: Maybe next time you're here you can present that he
Speaker 1: said that they would be getting green jobs. So I'm
Speaker 1: just asking when that happened. Richard Trunka, who is a friend,
Speaker 1: longtime friend of Joe Biden, says about that day one
Speaker 1: Keystone EO, he says, I wish he the president had
Speaker 1: shared that work carefully with the thing that he did
Speaker 1: second by saying here's where we are creating the jobs.
Speaker 1: So there's partial evidence from Richard Trunka. Well, you didn't
Speaker 1: include all of his interview would you like to include
Speaker 1: the rest? So how about this. The Laborer's International Union
Speaker 1: of North America said the Keystone decision will cost one
Speaker 1: thousand existing union jobs and ten thousand projected construction jobs. Well,
Speaker 1: what mister Trunkuka also indicated in the same interview was
Speaker 1: that President Biden has proposed a climate plan with transformative
Speaker 1: investments and infrastructure and laid out a plan that will
Speaker 1: not only create millions of good union jobs also help
Speaker 1: tackle the climate crisis. Yeah, so like here's a thing like, yes,
Speaker 1: like you you like poor people with your union jobs
Speaker 1: on the Keystone, the IY the Ikey pipeline thing that
Speaker 1: makes all the goo and the mess for the environment,
Speaker 1: You're like totally going to like have this really nice,
Speaker 1: like awesome green New deal job at some point in
Speaker 1: the future. We just like don't know when. But Biden's
Speaker 1: like totally smart and really smart about the jobs, and
Speaker 1: there's gonna be these green New Deal jobs for you.
Speaker 1: So just like just like take a chill, you know, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know, the mortgage payments totally. It's really hard, but like,
Speaker 1: you know, that's that's the Biden administration on policy when
Speaker 1: it comes to energy. In a nutshell. Sorry, that we've
Speaker 1: done something based on ideological reasons that's absurd, that are
Speaker 1: absurd in the first place. Oh, the world is melting
Speaker 1: climate change, and it's going to really hurt people, cost
Speaker 1: them jobs. They no longer have employee employment, they no
Speaker 1: longer have salaries and benefits, and can't feed their families,
Speaker 1: can't pay their bills at a time when the country
Speaker 1: is already suffering at least some people in the country
Speaker 1: are suffering economically a lot. But they defer the political
Speaker 1: backlash to this by saying, Oh, don't worry, we're gonna
Speaker 1: get you this awesome other job soon. We're gonna get
Speaker 1: you this awesome other job any day now. Really is
Speaker 1: is that what's gonna happen. They're gonna get them an
Speaker 1: awesome job any day now. Huh. And they brought up
Speaker 1: the Trump get interview. This guy's a big, big union boss,
Speaker 1: And here's what he actually said back in the first
Speaker 1: days after the Biden inauguration, when the first thing bind
Speaker 1: does gets rid of the Keystone XEL pipeline and kind
Speaker 1: of just remind everybody the Keystone XEL pipeline is in
Speaker 1: most people minds being canceled because or was canceled by
Speaker 1: Biden because of climate change and they need to combat
Speaker 1: CO two emissions. Every analysis of the Keystone XL pipeline,
Speaker 1: done by independent agencies, by scientists, by everyone who's looked
Speaker 1: at it, including the State Department under the Obama administration,
Speaker 1: said that canceling the Keystone XL pipeline would result in
Speaker 1: greater overall CO two emissions. The oil still comes out
Speaker 1: of the ground, it still gets burned for use in
Speaker 1: fossil fuels, but now it will be even more costly
Speaker 1: and more cooto intensive to transport the oil. But they
Speaker 1: convinced a lot of ignorant people, a lot of Yeah,
Speaker 1: I just like want all the trees to breathe the
Speaker 1: fresh error and like not have the COO two. But wait,
Speaker 1: don't trees take in COO two. I get so confused.
Speaker 1: And they wanted to make those people, the environmentalists left,
Speaker 1: feel like they got a win, and this was an
Speaker 1: easy win. So shut it down. This is just pure
Speaker 1: emotion and ideology. Shut it down. Now, with that established,
Speaker 1: here is Richard Trumpka explaining exactly what this means. Well,
Speaker 1: what happens to the thousands of jobs? Play eight. I
Speaker 1: wish he hadn't done that on the first day because
Speaker 1: the Labors International was right. It did and will cost
Speaker 1: us jobs in the process. If I wish he had
Speaker 1: paired that more carefully with the thing that he did. Second,
Speaker 1: by saying here's where we're creating jobs. We can do
Speaker 1: mine reclamation, we can fix leaks, and we can fix
Speaker 1: seeps and create hundreds of thousands of jobs in doing
Speaker 1: all of that stuff. You think Biden realizes that was
Speaker 1: a mistake, that announcement. I think so yes. So that's
Speaker 1: the interview. I'm just saying, you know, there's Richard Trunk,
Speaker 1: a big union guy who's like, uh, they can promise
Speaker 1: a lot of things. I mean, I just want to
Speaker 1: know if I if I walked into your office, your
Speaker 1: your place of work, your place of business, wherever that was,
Speaker 1: and I said, hey, I'm from the Biden administration. We're
Speaker 1: gonna fire you today, but we're like totally gonna give
Speaker 1: you this awesome green job at some point in the future.
Speaker 1: We don't know where, we don't know what your salary
Speaker 1: will be, and we don't know when. But you're like,
Speaker 1: Toad's gonna have this awesome green new deal job. So
Speaker 1: just don't worry about it. How would you feel would
Speaker 1: you feel like that's a that's a fair a fair
Speaker 1: trade off. It's a good thing to present to you.
Speaker 1: Of course, not if someone showed up to me and said, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, your whole media career and all this stuff,
Speaker 1: that's gonna go away, But we are totally gonna hook
Speaker 1: you up with a job at a solar power plant
Speaker 1: at some point of the Oh, you don't know it.
Speaker 1: You've never worked in a solar It's gonna be great.
Speaker 1: You know, they have them in China and people are
Speaker 1: loving the manual labor they have to do day in
Speaker 1: and day out at those assembly lines for very low pay,
Speaker 1: so it will be great here too. It would be
Speaker 1: really high paying jobs. Don't worry. Oh, you have no
Speaker 1: skills in that area, Well you'll develop some, you know,
Speaker 1: maybe learn to code or something. I don't know. Just
Speaker 1: shut up. We're saving the planet. That's the real logic
Speaker 1: of the argument here. That's how it works, that's how
Speaker 1: it unfolds. I think that's a problem. I think that
Speaker 1: that shows how disconnected the Democrat Party really is from
Speaker 1: people who are actually in the working class. They don't
Speaker 1: care when they lose their jobs. They don't care about
Speaker 1: the suffering that they have, and we have to hold
Speaker 1: them to account for this because there are only a
Speaker 1: few people, and as I said, props to Peter Doocey,
Speaker 1: there're only a few people that even have the access
Speaker 1: and the willingness to ask real questions of the government.
Speaker 1: The answer to the question what happens to people who
Speaker 1: lose their jobs because of the climate change mania of
Speaker 1: Biden in the Democrat is they don't have green jobs
Speaker 1: to give them. That's the real answer. You lose your
Speaker 1: job and maybe one day we'll get you some other job,
Speaker 1: and in the meantime, tough for you union workers. That's
Speaker 1: what the Democrat Party is actually saying without saying it
Speaker 1: got to save the planet. Sorry. Yeah, we have like
Speaker 1: all the great green jobs though, and they're like so
Speaker 1: green and like you're just gonna love them. I don't
Speaker 1: think Zach bombs win over a lot of union guys
Speaker 1: with that one. You're in the freedom height. Thanks for
Speaker 1: listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcast to get the
Speaker 1: latest from Buck at buck sexton dot com. That if
Speaker 1: we can get seventy to eighty five percent of the
Speaker 1: population vaccinated and get to what we would hope would
Speaker 1: be to a degree of herd immunity, which really is
Speaker 1: an umbrella or a veil of protection against the community
Speaker 1: where the level of virus is so low it's not
Speaker 1: a threat at all. Then at that point you could
Speaker 1: start thinking in terms of not having to have a
Speaker 1: uniform wearing of masks. But we're certainly not near there yet.
Speaker 1: When do I think that would occur? You know, it's
Speaker 1: very difficult to predict, Bret. But if everything falls into
Speaker 1: the right place and we get this under control, it
Speaker 1: is conceivable that you might be able to pull back
Speaker 1: a bit on some of the public health measures as
Speaker 1: we get into the late fall of this year. Late
Speaker 1: fall aka the winter a ka mask up another year, Plebs,
Speaker 1: get ready for it. We're gonna mark this one down.
Speaker 1: You think I'm gonna get vaccinated or people around me,
Speaker 1: You're gonna get vaccinated and everything's gonna be fine. Right
Speaker 1: then I can go Nope. You'll say, well, hold on
Speaker 1: a second. If if we really get down to you know,
Speaker 1: fifty COVID deaths a month, one hundred COVID deaths a
Speaker 1: month in this country, we're gonna we're not all going
Speaker 1: out to wear masks. Then right, oh no, yes you are.
Speaker 1: You will mask up into they say, you can take
Speaker 1: that thing off. That's that's the rule, you see. It's
Speaker 1: until they say so. They won't even give you a number.
Speaker 1: They want to give you a real percentage. Fauci here
Speaker 1: says seventy to eighty five percent. Okay, well, which is it?
Speaker 1: That's a that's a pretty what are you talking about
Speaker 1: three hundred and thirty billion people? That's a pretty big
Speaker 1: gap in there. So do we have to have seventy percent?
Speaker 1: Or and how are we going to gauge that herd immunity? See,
Speaker 1: they tell you it's about the data, but then you
Speaker 1: start looking at it, you say, well what data? And
Speaker 1: how are you getting it? And how are you analyzing it?
Speaker 1: What are you really saying? They don't care. It's about control. See,
Speaker 1: it's about they get to tell you what to do.
Speaker 1: They get to fail repeatedly. And if you have any
Speaker 1: problem with this, well you're the problem. If you have
Speaker 1: any questions about this, that's on you, don't you see
Speaker 1: You say, well, hold on a second, what's with that?
Speaker 1: Why can't why can't they explain these things? Well, that's
Speaker 1: because you're gonna be wearing a mask right now, under
Speaker 1: the under the Fauciite regime, you will be wearing a mask. Men.
Speaker 1: And if you say, oh buck, my state is not that,
Speaker 1: get on a plane, you're gonna be wearing a mask.
Speaker 1: Get on a mask transit You're gonna be wearing a
Speaker 1: mask a lot of you know, stores and places, and
Speaker 1: in some ways it'll be even more tense. When you
Speaker 1: go into your local grocery store, you don't have to
Speaker 1: wear a mask, but you go into you know, you
Speaker 1: go into Costco, and you're not allowed in without a mask.
Speaker 1: You wait, wait a second, what is this? How we're
Speaker 1: really stopping virus now by some places and other Well,
Speaker 1: we've been doing that all along of course, right this
Speaker 1: whole thing has just been a mess. People have not
Speaker 1: been honest about the realities of this. The people in
Speaker 1: charge are just delusional. But you're going to be masking
Speaker 1: up for another year. I really had a minimum. I
Speaker 1: think another year, and I'm not even sure it'll stop
Speaker 1: then because there'll be some COVID next winter. So yeah,
Speaker 1: this is now the new normal. You gotta ask up,
Speaker 1: you know, for notice, we've never gone through this before
Speaker 1: in human history. We've gone We've gone with full scale
Speaker 1: masking for this duration of time, this many people that
Speaker 1: never happened before. Suddenly, suddenly the mask has been discovered
Speaker 1: as the great defeature of pandemics. But did it defeat
Speaker 1: this pandemic? Did it even noticeably slow the pandemic anywhere
Speaker 1: you can point to? Well, you ask these questions and
Speaker 1: they yell at you because they're wrong, but they don't
Speaker 1: want to admit that because they're so much believing in
Speaker 1: the science. I'm not even gonna play it for you today.
Speaker 1: There's another video of a guy. There's a woman, elderly
Speaker 1: woman and her daughter who's probably in her forties or fifties,
Speaker 1: and and he does the mask, he takes out. You know,
Speaker 1: you're in you're in a store and you don't have
Speaker 1: a mask on. It starts videoing or and I mean,
Speaker 1: mask shamers are just the worst. This guy's video. And
Speaker 1: somebody who has what a probably a one in ten
Speaker 1: thousand shot of actually being COVID positive right now, So
Speaker 1: think about that, the real of any one individual person
Speaker 1: just randomly who has no symptoms randomly having COVID's very
Speaker 1: very small by numbers, by percentages that they actually have
Speaker 1: COVID and you're harassing this person and acting like they're
Speaker 1: the reason that there's been this pandemic. You're you're putting
Speaker 1: it all on them in that moment because they won't comply.
Speaker 1: This is this is a hysteria within the brain. But
Speaker 1: the people that believe that the world's going to end
Speaker 1: from climate change, or the same people that think that
Speaker 1: if you don't wear a mask, you are the cause
Speaker 1: of the pandemic that's killed hundreds of thousands of people,
Speaker 1: that one moment they catch you not wearing a mask.
Speaker 1: Everybody goes through lots of times when they're not wearing
Speaker 1: masks and exposing themselves, and you know that's just the
Speaker 1: way it is. But you see, it's for show. It's
Speaker 1: it's for the good people. Wear the mask is the
Speaker 1: whole point. It's not about stopping the virus. It's a
Speaker 1: big virtue signal you're a good, smart person. Wear that
Speaker 1: mask all the time. Sure it's a great, great idea,
Speaker 1: but yeah, Fauci says maybe seventy to eighty five percent,
Speaker 1: maybe late fall, maybe maybe maybe maybe. Do you think
Speaker 1: he's gonna move those goalposts? You will be wearing a
Speaker 1: mask for at least another year. Under this Biden regime.
Speaker 1: So I hope everyone's either in the gym, and that
Speaker 1: in a lot of places means they want you to
Speaker 1: wear it outside too. Summertime, got to wear a mask,
Speaker 1: gonna gather people, got to wear a mask. People are
Speaker 1: out of their minds, they're crazy. Oh the science, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's work. It's worked, wonders, hasn't it? All the masking
Speaker 1: in New York and California and all these different states? Oh,
Speaker 1: it's you know, it's done so much to slow the
Speaker 1: spread of this thing. And who really believes that the
Speaker 1: only thing that really works to slow the spread of
Speaker 1: this thing is limiting human contact with each other? So
Speaker 1: you can do it if you're gonna keep people locked
Speaker 1: in their homes for long periods of time and prevent
Speaker 1: visitors and prevent travelers from other countries to come there. So, yes,
Speaker 1: you can lock down an island like New Zealand and
Speaker 1: not have a lot of COVID. You're not locking down
Speaker 1: three hundred and thirty million people in America when this
Speaker 1: is already spread within the population. This is what I
Speaker 1: was saying all along. The whole test and trace thing
Speaker 1: was always absurd because it had already gotten to the
Speaker 1: point where it was endemic as part of the pandemic,
Speaker 1: it was already spreading within the population. So how are
Speaker 1: you going to test and trace something where there's thousands,
Speaker 1: tens of thousands of cases every day. How many tests
Speaker 1: and tracers do you really need for that? You're gonna
Speaker 1: need more PEP. You're gonna need more tests and tracers
Speaker 1: than you have people with the disease. It's crazy. You're
Speaker 1: never gonna be able to track all those people down.
Speaker 1: This was just applying logic and reason to it. How
Speaker 1: successful has the a test and trace program been? How
Speaker 1: successful has that been? I just I'm just wondering. You
Speaker 1: know how you were told by the experts that that
Speaker 1: was really important. You know how you're told by the
Speaker 1: experts that that was necessary for getting the pandemic under control.
Speaker 1: Really that how that work out for us? But now
Speaker 1: they're saying, oh, we're going to start opening school opening
Speaker 1: schools in New York later on this month, New York
Speaker 1: City up to a certain grade level. You know, now
Speaker 1: we've got this a little bit of a change in opinion.
Speaker 1: It's because one things are getting the virus is slowing
Speaker 1: down naturally, and as a result of the vaccine, but
Speaker 1: also naturally within its cycle, and beyond that, the political
Speaker 1: consequences of continuing to ruin people's lives when they can
Speaker 1: see that what the ruining of the lives was not
Speaker 1: necessary through the lockdowns, but they did this anyway. That
Speaker 1: comes with consequences and costs of its own, and people
Speaker 1: like Governor Cuomo of New York don't want to pay
Speaker 1: that cost. This is the Fuck Sexton Show podcast. Follow
Speaker 1: Fuck on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Our man in DC
Speaker 1: joining us now Steve Yates. He is the principle of
Speaker 1: DC International Advisory and he is formerly the Deputy National
Speaker 1: Security Advisor to Vice President Dick Cheney. He's also a
Speaker 1: fluent Mandarin speaker. My friends, got a lot of a
Speaker 1: lot of tricks up his sleeve. This guy, Steve Yates. Everybody, Steve,
Speaker 1: great to have you on LUCK. It's great to join you.
Speaker 1: Thanks for having me. Let's start. I got I got
Speaker 1: America questions and I got China questions. Let's start with
Speaker 1: some America questions for you. First off, impeachment this week?
Speaker 1: What are Democrats really believe they will accomplish with this?
Speaker 1: I know? For MSNBC and CNN, The New York times,
Speaker 1: it's ratings, it's a little nostalgia trip of Orange Man Bad.
Speaker 1: You know, fine, but what do you think there's there's
Speaker 1: a bigger or a more important strategy at work for
Speaker 1: the Democrats. And for the Democrats, I really think it's
Speaker 1: important for anyone who doesn't live in the confines of
Speaker 1: a complete blue pill environment to understand that these people
Speaker 1: are really deep in their own imaginations about the realities
Speaker 1: of what has happened in recent times. I think they
Speaker 1: see themselves as dancing on the grave of their nemesis,
Speaker 1: and their aim, they think, is to tarnish his reputation
Speaker 1: so much that he can't do what he is best at,
Speaker 1: which is to go and have big rallies and move
Speaker 1: a coalition of voters that actually took a significant chunk
Speaker 1: out of Democrats' hides. Didn't change the election outcome for
Speaker 1: him apparently, but it sure did change a lot when
Speaker 1: it goes county by county and district by district. I
Speaker 1: think that's what they fear in the twenty twenty two midterms,
Speaker 1: policy wise and politics wise. They're diving deep on their
Speaker 1: side in a way that I think imperils their chances
Speaker 1: in the mid term and I say, God bless them
Speaker 1: for it. You think there's any real way that it
Speaker 1: seems Liz Cheney has become a kind of leader within
Speaker 1: the GOP of the Trump Purge movement. You think that
Speaker 1: they're gonna they're gonna wrest control away from the Trump
Speaker 1: is within the GOP over time or is that a
Speaker 1: fool's Errand I really don't think that they'll succeed in
Speaker 1: trying to do that. As you know, I have a
Speaker 1: significant part of my life that is friendly and loyal
Speaker 1: to the Cheney family. I don't understand or support the
Speaker 1: politics of the idea that any of this impeachment process
Speaker 1: was legitimate. I mean, when you have the president on video,
Speaker 1: in his own words, telling people to peaceably go about
Speaker 1: their business, pretty hard to say how that rises to
Speaker 1: the level of what was described, whether it's by a
Speaker 1: representative Cheney or anyone else, as impeachable or some grave
Speaker 1: sin against our country. And to try to remove a
Speaker 1: civilian from public office is about as nonsensical as it gets.
Speaker 1: So it's all about tarring the brand. I don't think
Speaker 1: the brand is hard among Republicans. A huge percentage of
Speaker 1: Republicans identify with the Trump agenda identify in many many
Speaker 1: ways with the man because they recognize that what he
Speaker 1: said was true. They're not coming for him alone, They're
Speaker 1: coming for all of us. And when he was in office,
Speaker 1: he was taking the flak on our behalf. And I
Speaker 1: think there's a lot of people who see the reality
Speaker 1: in that statement now. And Stephen I also and we're
Speaker 1: speaking of Stephen Yates. He was Deputy National Security Advisor
Speaker 1: to Vice President Cheney and the Bush administration, and he's
Speaker 1: the principal of DC International Advisory. I think it's important
Speaker 1: for everybody to know because we've we've had this four
Speaker 1: years of Orange Man bad or some would say Orange
Speaker 1: Man worse than Hitler, or you know, all this kind
Speaker 1: of crazy, the Trump deranged stuff that's been out there.
Speaker 1: I've never seen so much, well, I should say it's
Speaker 1: been a long time since I've seen so much hatred
Speaker 1: heaped on a politician. A big part of this, though,
Speaker 1: was that the anti Trump voices in the corporate media
Speaker 1: and the Democrat Party were pretending that well, other Republicans
Speaker 1: were much more genteel and we could get along with better.
Speaker 1: I seem to recall during the Bush Cheney era, when
Speaker 1: I was in the CIA that people wanted in the
Speaker 1: media Dick Cheney to be tried at the Hague for
Speaker 1: being a war criminal. Can you just give us a
Speaker 1: little bit of a little bit of a taste of
Speaker 1: how okay, Orange Man bad? But Trump? I mean, but
Speaker 1: Push and Cheney were also worse than Hitler and should
Speaker 1: spend the rest of their life in prison two according
Speaker 1: to the corporate media and the Democrat Party. Absolutely correct.
Speaker 1: So back in those times there were people might not
Speaker 1: remember even the names of these groups, but Code Pink
Speaker 1: and some other organizations were having their marches, were having
Speaker 1: loud and pretty prominent demonstrations in DC, outside the White House,
Speaker 1: around the Capitol wherever necessary, and they were making all
Speaker 1: kinds of accusations blood for oil, all kinds of stuff
Speaker 1: that related to Iraq, that related to war on terror.
Speaker 1: All of that stuff wasn't Dick Cheney. It wasn't Dick
Speaker 1: Cheney secretly. Stephen wasn't Dick Cheney secretly like drinking the
Speaker 1: blood of Chill Dan while he was watching his Haliburton
Speaker 1: stock skyrocket for starting the ward. I mean, there was
Speaker 1: really crazy stuff out there and pretty mainstream outlets about
Speaker 1: how he was Darth Vader at right. This was the
Speaker 1: way it was. That was actually his happiest moment when
Speaker 1: the meme of him as Darth Vader started to circulate.
Speaker 1: He actually thought that was kind of cool that a
Speaker 1: guy that was somewhat nerdy and wonky through most of
Speaker 1: his career had gone full cultural mainstream and being an
Speaker 1: iconic meme like that Darth Vader things. He thought that
Speaker 1: was kind of funny. But the war criminal stuff, the
Speaker 1: profiteering off of things. Here's a guy who was a
Speaker 1: Secretary of Defense, loved and honored our troops everywhere we
Speaker 1: possibly went, sort of like Donald Trump had done during
Speaker 1: his tenure as president. There's these leaders that revere the
Speaker 1: men and women who keep us safe, and so the
Speaker 1: idea that they get accused of profiteering or seeking advantage
Speaker 1: really sort of hurt them at a personal level. That
Speaker 1: was the only area really where it kind of got
Speaker 1: through the tough exterior. I think that end when they
Speaker 1: went after his family, when his ire would really come up.
Speaker 1: But yeah, the Left really through the whole kit and
Speaker 1: caboodle at him. And when I say the left, I
Speaker 1: mean Democrats in Congress. And for anyone is wondering, I
Speaker 1: just I bring this up, Stephen, because the return to
Speaker 1: normalcy that we were supposed to be promised in a
Speaker 1: Biden administration, there's no sense. I mean, it's just it's
Speaker 1: a purge of Republicans. You're evil, you're racist, you're awful.
Speaker 1: You know, you need to be deep platformed and fired
Speaker 1: and canceled. And it's not like Trump has gone and
Speaker 1: now everyone's going to start being nice to conservatives. No. Well,
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, Nixon was of course impeached when
Speaker 1: I resigned, was about to be impeach and resigned. After Bush,
Speaker 1: there was sort of a cleansing because of a new
Speaker 1: Democrat wave was coming until the Republican Revolution balanced things
Speaker 1: out a bit on the hill. After Bush, there was
Speaker 1: a pretty heavy purge of things during the Obama years.
Speaker 1: And I remember traveling the world and occasionally would get
Speaker 1: shouted down by an outspoken liberal because of my association
Speaker 1: with the Bush White House. Even though I didn't work
Speaker 1: on the Iraq War, I somehow was identified as someone
Speaker 1: who needed to defend everything that was possibly done. And so, yeah,
Speaker 1: the return to normal means the world according to the left,
Speaker 1: and that only they are allowed to occupy the expensive,
Speaker 1: privileged positions of DC, New York and elsewhere. Yeah, Steve,
Speaker 1: for what it's worth, by the time I got to
Speaker 1: the Iraq office at the CIA, the country had already
Speaker 1: devolved into insurgency in Mayhem and there were you know,
Speaker 1: videotaping people's executions with chainsaws and broad daylight. But occasionally
Speaker 1: in DC somebody would sort of find out what I
Speaker 1: you know, where I was or what I worked on it,
Speaker 1: and I was the you know, I had started the
Speaker 1: Iraq War. I was like, I'm pretty sure that you know,
Speaker 1: it had been going on for about of three four
Speaker 1: years by the time I showed up. But you're still
Speaker 1: responsible for the whole thing. Anyway. I blame buck every Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, it was all my fault, all those memos
Speaker 1: I wrote. But but Steve, I also want to want
Speaker 1: to shift gears. We're speaking of Steve Yates principle of
Speaker 1: DC International Advisory, and he's down in DC. So it
Speaker 1: makes sense for the name what you're seeing right now
Speaker 1: with the US China relationship. I'm trying to tell everybody
Speaker 1: this is the primary foreign policy challenge not just of
Speaker 1: this administration, but of the next twenty years. And I
Speaker 1: know there's all this focus on climate change. I just
Speaker 1: feel like China's got to be loving this because dialing
Speaker 1: back Trump's straight talk about China in and of itself
Speaker 1: is going to give Hiji and Pay more room for maneuver.
Speaker 1: And my I keep telling everybody this. I almost have
Speaker 1: an investment based thesis here that China is just going
Speaker 1: to be eating America's lunch for the next four years.
Speaker 1: What do you see happening so far? Well, I think
Speaker 1: that that analysis is sad but true. That people have
Speaker 1: gotten so deep in the personalization of American politics and
Speaker 1: their own echo chamber on social media that they have
Speaker 1: basically missed one of the most important strategic shifts in
Speaker 1: American policy, and that was under a Trump dealing with China.
Speaker 1: And I think that there are some important politics of that,
Speaker 1: and that the American people when told the truth or
Speaker 1: one hundred percent on the side of where President Trump
Speaker 1: was going on things economically and strategically with regard to China,
Speaker 1: and some members of the Trump team, like Secretary of
Speaker 1: Pompeo I think was an historic transformational Secretary of State
Speaker 1: and talking about that the Communist Party of China is
Speaker 1: not just a problem for the Chinese people or for
Speaker 1: us out in the region, but in the United States
Speaker 1: with confucious institutes embedding into academic, financial, political institutions, that
Speaker 1: this is a strategic challenge of a magnitude that Americans
Speaker 1: haven't experienced. I would argue it's a bigger challenge than
Speaker 1: the Soviet threat was in the Cold War because they
Speaker 1: have more money, they are more deeply embedded into our
Speaker 1: culture and society, and most of America has been asleep
Speaker 1: at the switch while the goose is being getting cooked.
Speaker 1: How are you about some really destabilizing moves from China
Speaker 1: with regard to Taiwan. Well, very concerned, but I'm actually
Speaker 1: more concerned about destabilizing moves that China could take in economic, technological,
Speaker 1: and other areas that would have immediate impact on the
Speaker 1: United States. I mean, they can have pretty significant impact
Speaker 1: on markets and strategic industries because of bad policies to date,
Speaker 1: the move against Taiwan. They have always had the means
Speaker 1: to have some shock and awe, but they've lacked the
Speaker 1: means to actually be able to occupy and control Taiwan.
Speaker 1: So I'm very concerned for the sake of friends that
Speaker 1: operate there, very concerned about our tech sector that there's
Speaker 1: a lot of things made in Taiwan that are in
Speaker 1: our smartphones and are communicating devices, which now include vehicles
Speaker 1: and airplanes and everything else that that is the fruit
Speaker 1: of Taiwan manufacturing in Taiwan technology. We literally can't afford
Speaker 1: for China to take over Taiwan without having a massive
Speaker 1: impact on America's way of life. And that's just something
Speaker 1: I think Abroader America has been sort of brought to
Speaker 1: sleep a bit about, and I would be afraid of
Speaker 1: China waking us up to that reality. What is and
Speaker 1: just one more thing from you, Stephen, what is for
Speaker 1: you the primary error that you worry or you believe
Speaker 1: the Biden administration will commit in the months ahead when
Speaker 1: it comes to China. I mean, what if you could
Speaker 1: get them to what is the one thing they're gonna
Speaker 1: do that you would want to say to them, don't
Speaker 1: do that thing? Biden team, Well, in some ways they've
Speaker 1: already done it, the sort of going back to the
Speaker 1: World Health Organization and international organizations generally in undoing every
Speaker 1: Trump executive order that they've already in a way enabled
Speaker 1: thee to insulate themselves from culpability on what I see
Speaker 1: is the greatest national security, public health, and economic attack
Speaker 1: on our country in the history of the republic. And
Speaker 1: that's the virus that came out of China, undeniably out
Speaker 1: of China. And so they've already I think, gone in
Speaker 1: the wrong direction on that. Beyond that, I think that
Speaker 1: they have to keep the coalition of like minded nations
Speaker 1: moving toward a clean version of five G technology, one
Speaker 1: that does not involve Chinese corporations or technology like Huawei.
Speaker 1: And that because there's just so much of our business
Speaker 1: and personal way of life that's vested. We have to
Speaker 1: move forward with allies and partners on clean technologies, not
Speaker 1: in a green sense, but on a non Chinese communist
Speaker 1: party sense. Stephen Yates of DC International Advisory, he's the principal. Stephen.
Speaker 1: Always great to have you, my friend. We'll talk soon.
Speaker 1: My pleasure. Thank you, Buck tick care. This is the
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show podcast. Join the conversation and message Buck
Speaker 1: on Facebook, Instagram, or email Team bucket iHeartMedia dot com.
Speaker 1: He may read it on the show. So the question is,
Speaker 1: is this still the party of Donald Trump? And does
Speaker 1: Marjorie Taylor Greenstell hold a solid place in that party? Chris,
Speaker 1: We're the party of Abraham Lincoln. We're the party of
Speaker 1: Ronald Reagan. We have to really take a hard look
Speaker 1: at who we are and what we stand for, what
Speaker 1: we believe in. I think when you look at both
Speaker 1: his actions leading up to what happened on January sixth,
Speaker 1: the fact that he was impeached in a bypars In fashion,
Speaker 1: the fact that he lost the presidency, the fact that
Speaker 1: we lost the Senate, we have to be in a
Speaker 1: position where we can say we stand for principles, we
Speaker 1: stand for ideals. Somebody who has provoked an attack on
Speaker 1: the United States Capital to prevent the counting of electoral
Speaker 1: votes which resulted in five people dying, who refused to
Speaker 1: stand up immediately Winnie was asked and stopped the violence
Speaker 1: that that is a person who does not have a
Speaker 1: role as a leader of our party going forward. We
Speaker 1: have to make sure that we are able to convey
Speaker 1: to the American voters we are the party of responsibility,
Speaker 1: we are the party of truth, that we actually can
Speaker 1: be trusted to handle the challenges as nation faces like COVID,
Speaker 1: and that's going to require us to focus on substance
Speaker 1: and policy and issues going forward. But we should not
Speaker 1: be embracing the former president. I just think she's wrong.
Speaker 1: She's entitled to her opinion. I just think she's wrong
Speaker 1: on a whole lot here. I think she's wrong that
Speaker 1: the president is guilty of incitement to insurrection. I think
Speaker 1: she's wrong that Donald Trump doesn't have a future in
Speaker 1: Republican leadership. And I would want to know for the
Speaker 1: people who are saying that, they should also tell us.
Speaker 1: I mean, if Liz Cheney really believes this, does she
Speaker 1: think she's the future of the Republican Party? I mean, really,
Speaker 1: what is the alternative? Does Mint Romney think he's the
Speaker 1: future of the Republican Party? Who is going to be
Speaker 1: in the role of leadership if it is not Trump?
Speaker 1: Because then can't we make a better decision? Right now,
Speaker 1: they're saying, let's get rid of Trump as leader of
Speaker 1: the GOP de facto leaders still of the GOP, and
Speaker 1: they're encouraging I mean, Liz Jenny's encouraging a conviction in
Speaker 1: this and the Senate trial it's underwear this week. Who
Speaker 1: would take up that role? Who would take up that mantel?
Speaker 1: Senator Ted Cruz was supportive of the election challenges and
Speaker 1: has already been dragged into all that. So for the
Speaker 1: Liz Cheneys of the world, that doesn't seem like it
Speaker 1: would be an option. I mean, if she if she
Speaker 1: were saying, guys, look at Ron de Santis, that's somebody
Speaker 1: who's getting things done. We should rally behind him. It's
Speaker 1: not even about who she would tell us is the
Speaker 1: future of the GOP. But I just think that it's
Speaker 1: interesting that these people that want to push Trump aside,
Speaker 1: you never hear from what Ben Sas is that really
Speaker 1: Ben SaaS cares about one thing. Ben Sas, this is
Speaker 1: a guy who is always reliably in position to stab
Speaker 1: the GOP in the back the moment it's convenient for him.
Speaker 1: So who is in the leadership role? Then? Do they
Speaker 1: have any names? Do the newly ascendant never Trumpers, have
Speaker 1: anybody they want to put forward. I'm just wondering. This
Speaker 1: is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Follow Buck on Facebook, Instagram,
Speaker 1: and Twitter. I've called for a complete cancelation of student debt.
Speaker 1: We are now asking for up to fifty thousand dollars
Speaker 1: because we know he has the executive authority to do
Speaker 1: it with an executive action. The state that I represent
Speaker 1: has about seven hundred and fifty thousand student debt borrowers.
Speaker 1: The average student debt is more than thirty five thousand.
Speaker 1: We know that ten thousand is not going to make
Speaker 1: a dent. We want people have the ability to not
Speaker 1: worry about making their student debt loan payments in a
Speaker 1: time doing a pandemic where they are severely struggling to
Speaker 1: put food on the table and keep roof over their heads.
Speaker 1: That's right, You better get ready to pick up the
Speaker 1: tab America for your lib CNN watching neighbors a degree
Speaker 1: in feminist literature of the eighteenth century from you know,
Speaker 1: Sarah Lawrence college or something. You better get ready to
Speaker 1: pick up that tab. Those of you that didn't go
Speaker 1: to college or that chose not to go to grad
Speaker 1: school because you didn't want to run up debts. Those
Speaker 1: of you who have already paid off your college debt
Speaker 1: after many years of saving and making responsible choices. Too
Speaker 1: bad democrats have people to buy off. I just want
Speaker 1: to wonder, so could I enroll? Could I take out
Speaker 1: loans knowing that this is gonna happen, Gonna take out
Speaker 1: loans like tomorrow and say that I'm gonna get a
Speaker 1: master's at MYU or something here in New York and
Speaker 1: then just have it wiped away, because that sounds like
Speaker 1: a I mean, that sounds like a great deal. You know,
Speaker 1: I'll do some correspondence classes and have it all picked
Speaker 1: up courtesy Uncle Sam, or at least get get fifty
Speaker 1: thousand dollars of it picked up. You know what, what's
Speaker 1: the cutoff gonna be if you just made your final
Speaker 1: student loan payment after you know, fifteen years last week?
Speaker 1: Did they give you that money back? Oh no, you're
Speaker 1: You're a chump. You just did the right thing and
Speaker 1: paid your debts and were responsible. So too bad for you,
Speaker 1: I suppose. But Democrats want to wave this away, and
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I know that they don't like to hear this,
Speaker 1: but I mean, what about credit card debt? People buying food,
Speaker 1: people buying groceries gas. That debt is non dischargeable. Oh,
Speaker 1: in part because of people like Joe Biden, that, even
Speaker 1: in bankruptcy, very hard to get rid of credit card debt,
Speaker 1: you know, not impossible. Student loan debt is effectively impossible
Speaker 1: to get rid of. Credit card debt is very hard
Speaker 1: to get rid of. And Joe Biden and other members
Speaker 1: of Congress, you know, Joe Biden of Delaware, of course,
Speaker 1: which is just a state that exists so that companies
Speaker 1: can incorporate there, and the credit card companies tip of
Speaker 1: the list to try to avoid, you know, taxes and regulations.
Speaker 1: The the issue here is going to be, well, why
Speaker 1: why should this one class of debt be favored over
Speaker 1: so many others? What about people's mortgages, what about you know,
Speaker 1: this is I understand the appeal of it for people.
Speaker 1: I understand why they say, oh, this, this sounds like
Speaker 1: good idea. This is just redistribution of wealth, that's all.
Speaker 1: It is, just taken from people and given it to
Speaker 1: other people because they like them or because they think
Speaker 1: they'll get something from helping them. But there's not some
Speaker 1: greater principle involved here. There's not some great explanation for
Speaker 1: why this should happen. And it's also a reminder of
Speaker 1: the fact that we're having this conversation during a Biden presidency.
Speaker 1: This was a big thing for Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. Right,
Speaker 1: I was warning all along that you were going to
Speaker 1: have a left wing presidency that was just through the
Speaker 1: prism of Joe Biden, but that you were gonna have
Speaker 1: a left wing presidency and you're seeing all that's playing
Speaker 1: out right now. Oh, in another area where that's certainly
Speaker 1: going on is at the border. And this brings me
Speaker 1: back to Steve Doocy we talked about earlier in the show,
Speaker 1: Steve Doocy asking Saki bomb questions about where people can
Speaker 1: go to get their new green job, and the answers,
Speaker 1: of course they can't, they don't know, and they don't care.
Speaker 1: Shut up, peasant, We're saving the planet. Your job doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: But Doocy to Saki on the border, speaking of left
Speaker 1: wing stuff going on right now, very interesting exchange play one.
Speaker 1: And on immigration, there's a new reporting that ICE is
Speaker 1: going to get some new guidance to no longer focus
Speaker 1: on deporting illegal immigrants who have been convicted of duy,
Speaker 1: simple assault, solicitation, drug based crimes, among other things. And
Speaker 1: I'm curious how that is in the interest of public safety. Well, first,
Speaker 1: it's guidelines that would be put out by the Department
Speaker 1: of Homeland Security, and i'd certainly send you them. They
Speaker 1: have a confirmed secretary now. But the priority for the
Speaker 1: enforcement of an immigration laws will be on those who
Speaker 1: are posing a national security threat, of course, a public
Speaker 1: safety threat, and on recent arrivals Nobody is saying that
Speaker 1: DUIs or assault are acceptable behavior, and those arrested for
Speaker 1: such activities should be tried and sentenced as appropriate by
Speaker 1: local law enforcement. But we're talking about the prioritization of
Speaker 1: who is going to be deported from the country. Such
Speaker 1: dishonest garbage from the Biden people on this one. Prioritization
Speaker 1: is a fancy way of saying nullification of existing law.
Speaker 1: We're not going to send people back to their country
Speaker 1: who are here illegally, even if they have committed assault, dui,
Speaker 1: drug based crimes. They get to stay. So now, if
Speaker 1: you're an illegal and you run a foul of the
Speaker 1: law with additional criminality and not like a parking ticket,
Speaker 1: like actual criminal behavior, you're not going to get deported.
Speaker 1: They say it's a prioritization thing. What they really mean
Speaker 1: by that is that effectively you're good to go and
Speaker 1: you get to stay. Oh and there's another place where
Speaker 1: we're finding out the border has issues right now. The
Speaker 1: Biden team invited this border crisis. I mean I called
Speaker 1: for it. I actually did a on the First TV
Speaker 1: which you should all be watching, and out by the way,
Speaker 1: it's a free app. The First TV my shows before
Speaker 1: Bill O'Reilly on the first TV though you can see
Speaker 1: I did a special on the immigration crisis. I did
Speaker 1: that around Christmas time because I knew what was going
Speaker 1: to happen. I knew what the border was going to
Speaker 1: turn into, and it was obvious for anybody who's been
Speaker 1: following this administration what's going on here. So you know,
Speaker 1: you have this massive flood of people to the border.
Speaker 1: But here's what's amazing. They're talking about additional restrictions on
Speaker 1: airline travel where you have to prove for domestic airline travel,
Speaker 1: where you have to prove you've had a COVID test. Now,
Speaker 1: I thought that riding on a plane with masks on
Speaker 1: you were very unlikely to get COVID. So what's the
Speaker 1: big deal? Right? That's the thing they tell us, we
Speaker 1: have to take all these mitigation measures, and then it
Speaker 1: somehows never enough, and there's always more mitigation measures. Have
Speaker 1: you ever noticed that masking is so effective that masking
Speaker 1: on a plane is not enough for it to be
Speaker 1: considered safe. You also have to do the tempered check beforehand. Well,
Speaker 1: how effective can it really be? Think for yourself, And
Speaker 1: all of this stuff starts to just crumble and become absurd,
Speaker 1: or just think for yourself. Don't listen to the people shouting,
Speaker 1: and you listen to the experts, think for yourself, and
Speaker 1: you will achieve so much more clarity on this because
Speaker 1: they've shown you their hand many times. They've shown you
Speaker 1: that what they're saying is not true. All you have
Speaker 1: to do is open your eyes and you see it.
Speaker 1: With so many of these things. H it really is
Speaker 1: a very very frustrating, very frustrating situation. But oh, and
Speaker 1: then they're gonna slow everything down for airline travel for people.
Speaker 1: Now maybe that hasn't happened yet, that might happen, and
Speaker 1: with the COVID testing, and just imagine what that's like.
Speaker 1: You arrive at the airport. It's always so stressful. You
Speaker 1: got to get there, got to go through security, all
Speaker 1: this craziness. And now they're gonna say, you know COVID papers, sir,
Speaker 1: you say, what you know? I gotta shame my COVID papers,
Speaker 1: you know? And what does that even mean? If you
Speaker 1: get tested through days before you get on the plane,
Speaker 1: you're good. Does it have to be the day of
Speaker 1: because of it? Three days before? Guess what? You could
Speaker 1: be infected the day after you get the test that
Speaker 1: it's all so absurd, isn't it. But you know they're
Speaker 1: allowing now because they've changed the asylum policies that are bordered.
Speaker 1: They are allowing illegal aliens who come to America to
Speaker 1: be released in the American interior after claiming asylum in
Speaker 1: the border, because that whole scam is up and running again.
Speaker 1: Do you think, I want to ask you this question?
Speaker 1: Do you think? And hat tip to Tucker Carlson's show
Speaker 1: for bringing this one to the public's attention and bringing
Speaker 1: out the research on it that they're checking them for COVID.
Speaker 1: They're checking illegal aliens for COVID when they get to
Speaker 1: the border, when they come here. Nope, they are not.
Speaker 1: So if you're an illegal breaking the law, it's not
Speaker 1: supposed to be an American in the first place, you
Speaker 1: don't have to go through a COVID test. You're you're set,
Speaker 1: you're set free in America. But they're talking about restricting
Speaker 1: your travel as an American citizen between states and saying
Speaker 1: you need to have a COVID test. This is uh,
Speaker 1: this is the world that we're living in now. Friends.
Speaker 1: It's unfortunate. But oh, and one more crazy thing that
Speaker 1: you have here the mayor of Tampa. You know, after
Speaker 1: the whole Tom Brady. Look, he's the great, He's the greatest,
Speaker 1: the greatest football player of all time. Guys, I don't
Speaker 1: even think this is really a hard thing to any
Speaker 1: This is the greatest football player of all time. All right. So,
Speaker 1: and I'm sorry for all the snowflakes out there who
Speaker 1: are melting because Tom Brady is considered a Trump supporter
Speaker 1: or something. He's still the greatest football player of all time. So,
Speaker 1: I mean, look, it's just it's just at this point,
Speaker 1: what's the argument. I mean, he's got seven Super Bowl rings,
Speaker 1: he goes to a team, the whole, the whole thing
Speaker 1: is just I think the experiment here, as I say,
Speaker 1: has been run and we know what the results are.
Speaker 1: But the the mayor of Tampa gave some really really
Speaker 1: chilling speech the day after the Super Bowl where she
Speaker 1: said that they were gonna have police track people down,
Speaker 1: they were gonna have police find those who were partying
Speaker 1: without masks on. And now there's a photo that's emerged
Speaker 1: of her at the Super Bowl. Guess what doesn't have
Speaker 1: a mask on? Sitting there in the stands, doesn't have
Speaker 1: a mask on? Mask shaming is just what vain, petty
Speaker 1: virtue signaling morons due to each other. And it's a
Speaker 1: shame that this has become so mainstreamed in our culture.
Speaker 1: It's a shame that people really think that they're better
Speaker 1: than other people because in in one instance, in one moment,
Speaker 1: they have a cloth covering over their mouth. When we
Speaker 1: all realized, right the chance you listening to this right now,
Speaker 1: ninety nine percent of you listening to this right now
Speaker 1: who have to put on a mask in the next
Speaker 1: twenty four hours are higherly healthy and are just being
Speaker 1: annoyed and going through inconvenience for no good reason. You
Speaker 1: were actually healthy, you you have no virus to spread
Speaker 1: ninety nine percent, probably ninety nine point nine percent of you.
Speaker 1: But that's not enough. That's not enough because maybe one
Speaker 1: percent of the people listening to this have COVID. Everybody
Speaker 1: has to be massed up all the time, except they're
Speaker 1: not masked up all the time. As we know, this
Speaker 1: is crazy. You're in the freedom hunt. Thanks for listening
Speaker 1: to The Buck Sexton Show podcast. Get the latest from
Speaker 1: Buck at buck sexton dot com. What's the biggest way
Speaker 1: that transportation has been permanently changed by the pandemic. It's
Speaker 1: too soon to know for sure, but I think it's
Speaker 1: safe to say that our old patterns of life, the
Speaker 1: nine to five Monday through Friday commuting patterns, are not
Speaker 1: going to be exactly the same. Yeah, and so how
Speaker 1: might that change what your stuff does? You know? We
Speaker 1: think transplants and automobiles, but what about bike, scooters, wheelchairs
Speaker 1: for that matter, those are things you plan to pay
Speaker 1: more attention to. Absolutely. Yeah, Look, roads aren't only for vehicles.
Speaker 1: We got to make sure that that pedestrians and individuals
Speaker 1: and bicyclists and businesses can all co exist on the
Speaker 1: same roadway. No, this is not good, not good. And
Speaker 1: and let me say here, I have a bias. All right,
Speaker 1: I have a bias. And I know that was Mayor
Speaker 1: Pete Buddha Judge, now Secretary of Transportation Buddha Judge, who
Speaker 1: is talking about his roles? And now does he have
Speaker 1: any experience really in transportation? No? But does that matter
Speaker 1: to anybody in charge? No? All right, but look he's it.
Speaker 1: He's a smart guy. I'm this. This is a reality
Speaker 1: based show. This is not reality TV, it's reality radio.
Speaker 1: This is a reality bass show. And and so I
Speaker 1: recognize that Mayor Pete smart. He's he's a capable guy,
Speaker 1: he's an intelligent fellow, and and he's I'm sure he'll
Speaker 1: be fine in a sense in the role of transportation Secretary.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's you know, it's not something that keeps
Speaker 1: people up at night, but even that may become an
Speaker 1: opportun tunity for micromanaging, social engineering and wokeness in different ways.
Speaker 1: So you got to keep an eye on it. Here's
Speaker 1: here's my bias, and I share this with you in
Speaker 1: the spirit of all of you listening to this. I
Speaker 1: love all of you, and I respect all of you
Speaker 1: and your choices for recreation and transportation of your own.
Speaker 1: That's it. In New York City. I can only speak
Speaker 1: to New York City because that's the place I know
Speaker 1: the best people on bicycles for getting to work purposes.
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about delivery people and people that are
Speaker 1: doing it for a living. That way, people that choose
Speaker 1: to ride bicycles in the bike lane, which we're all
Speaker 1: built here by Maya Bloomberg, they are generally militant and
Speaker 1: kind of crazy. I'm just it's just the truth, and
Speaker 1: I don't I don't want anyone to get mad at me.
Speaker 1: I'm if you live out in the burbs somewhere and
Speaker 1: you enjoy bike riding, that's fine. Bike riding for recreation,
Speaker 1: totally cool. I'm all about it. Mountain biking, that's great.
Speaker 1: I'm not you know, I want to be very clear
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. But if you spend time on the
Speaker 1: streets of New York City, I can just tell you
Speaker 1: that the people that are wearing a suit and go
Speaker 1: into their office in Midtown and riding a bicycle to
Speaker 1: do it are generally a little crazy, and they are
Speaker 1: very left wing, and they think they're saving the planet
Speaker 1: by riding their little bike. And if you get in
Speaker 1: the other there's this constant war underway between the cars
Speaker 1: and the bikes because the bike lane people think that
Speaker 1: no one's ever gonna like open a car door and
Speaker 1: get out anywhere in a crowded city, and in the
Speaker 1: bike lane people all so they'll they constantly run into
Speaker 1: people who are trying to get out. And I know
Speaker 1: you'd say you have to look, but you're talking about
Speaker 1: a very dense environment where people are you know, cars
Speaker 1: are flying around, not flying, but you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: They're moving around all over the place. They're double parked
Speaker 1: cars very hard to have clear view, and the bicyclists
Speaker 1: they slip right between cars and they can hit your
Speaker 1: door really easily, and then they act like lunatics about it.
Speaker 1: So there's that, but even beyond that, they I have
Speaker 1: never had a a oh my gosh, I almost got
Speaker 1: hit by that car experience in New York City. Really,
Speaker 1: I've had I almost got killed by bicyclists probably twenty times,
Speaker 1: because they they will go twenty five or thirty miles
Speaker 1: an hour the speed limit in New York City. I think,
Speaker 1: producer Mark, what is it, twenty miles an hour for
Speaker 1: cars or bikes? Cars? Twenty five twenty five? Okay, so
Speaker 1: the bicyclist will go thirty miles an hour. But the
Speaker 1: thing about bicyclists going thus speed limit for cars is
Speaker 1: that they don't have breaks the same way that a
Speaker 1: car does, and they will run right into you. They
Speaker 1: have killed people this way, and they'll go down the
Speaker 1: one way street the wrong way. They'll run through red
Speaker 1: lights and not think about it. I'm just gonna tell you.
Speaker 1: Urban bicyclists are the modern day concrete terrorists. And it's
Speaker 1: it's just reality. And I know you know, I don't
Speaker 1: know what to tell you. I don't know what it is.
Speaker 1: There's like a culture among I'm not talking about delivery people. Really,
Speaker 1: it's not delivery people. It's bicyclist commuters, and it's not
Speaker 1: really the people on the weekends who are having fun,
Speaker 1: you know, just want to go toward the city, even
Speaker 1: it is I'm taking a bike to get to my office.
Speaker 1: Not by the way, I'm not talking motorcycles. Be very clear,
Speaker 1: all right, I don't need you know, Team Buck, Hell's
Speaker 1: Angels or whatever whoever, you know, whatever bikers list of
Speaker 1: the show. You know, that's all good. We're not we're
Speaker 1: not talking about your thing if you're on a motorized bike.
Speaker 1: Because you don't see people on a motorcycle running a
Speaker 1: red light, going the wrong way at like top speed
Speaker 1: and thinking that that's totally normal and legit. Bicyclists they'll
Speaker 1: go on the sidewalk, they'll go the wrong way up
Speaker 1: the street. There, Okay. I've just and you know, they
Speaker 1: they prevented the other things. They prevented those nerdy electric
Speaker 1: scooters from really being the shareable electric scooters from being
Speaker 1: deployed in New York City. I think that's a shame.
Speaker 1: Those electric scooters were a lot of fun. Producer Mark,
Speaker 1: you don't have talking about those scooters. Yes, they're very
Speaker 1: San Francisco, right all over San fran and LA. But
Speaker 1: it's interesting people actually turned against them in places like
Speaker 1: Santa Monica. You'd find them vandalized and because they would
Speaker 1: find them all over the street and people didn't like
Speaker 1: the aesthetic of them. But they were you know, green
Speaker 1: in the sense that they were all electric and anyway,
Speaker 1: so Buddha Judge wants to expand you know, bicycles and
Speaker 1: walking on the street. Let's hope that doesn't happen. This
Speaker 1: is The Buck Sexton Show podcast. Join the conversation and
Speaker 1: message Buck on Facebook, Instagram, or email Team Bucket iHeartMedia

Speaker 1: also why everyone should got Buckexon dot com and sign
Speaker 1: up for our email newsletter. The more emails we get,
Speaker 1: we got to get a certain number, then me get
Speaker 1: us through. We start producing an email newsletter to send
Speaker 1: out to you. It's gonna be great stuff. You're gonna

Speaker 1: If you do a newsletter, the news letter, all you,
Speaker 1: dude is given me your email. Your email will be used.
Speaker 1: You get it. You get the idea. So yeah, it's uh,
Speaker 1: we're almost through February producing mark, which I don't know
Speaker 1: if you know this February is the worst month. Why
Speaker 1: is that? Were you aware of that? February? It wasn't
Speaker 1: aware why because it's cold and you're in the middle
Speaker 1: of winter and it's um not good for a lot
Speaker 1: of people can get spring brick during February. Dude, I
Speaker 1: thought it was in March. I think public schools do
Speaker 1: the President's Week maybe marches from college. Yes, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: that's correct, that's correct. Okay, So mabe, that's good because
Speaker 1: having a week off in February would really help because
Speaker 1: we've been through in February, you've been through January, and
Speaker 1: I know Florida people, you're like Bucket's eighty degrees here.
Speaker 1: I'm having a great time working on my ten. But
Speaker 1: you know, for like most of the rest of the country,
Speaker 1: we've been freezing our butts off. We've been through enough
Speaker 1: of this. We got the COVID thing on top of
Speaker 1: all these other stuff. So February is a rough one.
Speaker 1: But we're gonna get through February real quick. You know,
Speaker 1: we're gonna be done with February real soon. So that's
Speaker 1: the good. Well, Blanket, it'll be more real day already,
Speaker 1: I know, be warm outside. All of a sudden, people
Speaker 1: will be masks shaming me as I walk around in
Speaker 1: the open air without a mask on. It's gonna be brilliant.
Speaker 1: All right, let's um, I think, is there what sports
Speaker 1: are still going on now? And just check into the
Speaker 1: penalty box here for a second. What do you got?
Speaker 1: We've got hockey at basketball until April one, baseball starts. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right? Are the New York Nick's any good? They're improved.
Speaker 1: I think they might even be a playoff team this year.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, But in the NBA, it's really only three
Speaker 1: or four teams that have a chance to win a championship,
Speaker 1: and the rest are just kind of kind? Was that
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Golden State? Right, and anyone else? Well? No,
Speaker 1: the Lake, Well, I don't know about the Golden State.
Speaker 1: This year, the Lakers, the Nets are actually very good.
Speaker 1: They're one of the best teams in the league. Oh interesting,
Speaker 1: I was unaware of that. Okay, all right, let's get
Speaker 1: to roll call here and let's kick it off with
Speaker 1: Brian this first up. She'll tie buck. Excellent show, glad.
Speaker 1: I found your show when I live in Colorado. I
Speaker 1: moved to Texas in August of last year, and I'm
Speaker 1: trying to reach out to local and state reps and
Speaker 1: engage in a conversation with friends appropriately. To open eyes
Speaker 1: seems to fall on deaf ears at times, but I'll
Speaker 1: be able to have a clear conscience if things get crazy.
Speaker 1: I pray for intelligence and reason to win the day,
Speaker 1: but I'll be able to stand before God and say
Speaker 1: that I try at all peaceful and legal means. The
Speaker 1: COVID fight is the great fight, and we are not
Speaker 1: winning yet. Keep up the excellent WUHAN virus coverage. My
Speaker 1: New Year's resolution was to be masked free. I will
Speaker 1: not cause a scene if asked to wear one, but
Speaker 1: I roll in without one if I can, trying to
Speaker 1: do what I can for freedom. My immigrant father taught
Speaker 1: me to love this land and its values, and I
Speaker 1: do love your Halloween drag of the special? Was that
Speaker 1: the last historical podcast, Brian? That was the last Shields
Speaker 1: High History podcast. There are more in production. We have
Speaker 1: one already recorded, and quite honestly, we're just we're lining
Speaker 1: it up so that it actually will be a business
Speaker 1: for us. We're getting sponsors for those podcasts, and so
Speaker 1: that's what's the delay right now. But there will be more.
Speaker 1: The Siege of Malta is up next, and then we'll
Speaker 1: have the Battle of Lepanto and then maybe the Siege
Speaker 1: of Vienna, and then I'm probably gonna do the crossing
Speaker 1: Hannibal crossing the Alps in the Second Punic War. A
Speaker 1: whole slate, a whole bunch of things that are in
Speaker 1: the mix. So thank you, Brian, and appreciate you writing
Speaker 1: in and sharing your thoughts. It was great to have you.
Speaker 1: And you're yeah, you're in Texas now from Colorado. I
Speaker 1: hope you enjoy that move and it feels like it
Speaker 1: feels like home. Russ Buck, I like you was horrified
Speaker 1: by the events that occurred on January sixth of Congress,
Speaker 1: not because I thought these people posed any real threat,
Speaker 1: but because of what the left would twist this into. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: as of two five, twenty twenty one, we're both right
Speaker 1: and the left is clamping down like a vice. One
Speaker 1: of the tenets of conservatism is that political feuds are
Speaker 1: settled at the ballot box, not on the streets. We
Speaker 1: defeat our enemies on the field of ideas, not on
Speaker 1: the playground. So when that breaks down, the left has
Speaker 1: an open season on conservatives, and quite frankly, there is
Speaker 1: little defense. It does not matter how hypocritical this reasoning is.
Speaker 1: It does not matter that the left does everything to
Speaker 1: encourage violence against anything where everything not openly of course, Well,
Speaker 1: sometimes we know how these things manifest. You've talked about
Speaker 1: the events many times on your show. None of that
Speaker 1: matters as long as ninety percent of the media operate
Speaker 1: as the Democrat, socialist totalitarian propaganda machine. I do believe
Speaker 1: there is hope because of the already evident overreach of
Speaker 1: the illegitimate Biden regime. One can hope. Well, russ I
Speaker 1: think you said a lot there, so I have my
Speaker 1: concerns too. About the trajectory of this country. I think that,
Speaker 1: you know, you know that unlike there's some shows where
Speaker 1: everything is, oh, the economy's gonna crash tomorrow. Oh you know,
Speaker 1: the Jihadis are gonna win tomorrow. Oh, where you know,
Speaker 1: there's everything is just rolling from one imminent end at
Speaker 1: all crisis to another. I don't do that here. But
Speaker 1: I do believe, and would defend this proposition vigorously if challenged,
Speaker 1: that freedom in America is under greater threat right now
Speaker 1: than at any time in my thirty nine years of life.
Speaker 1: Freedom in America right now is in its most precarious
Speaker 1: position in my lifetime. I really believe that. And it's
Speaker 1: not just it's not a O Biden one and I'm
Speaker 1: panicking panicking thing. It's that all the different forces in
Speaker 1: our society coming together to suppress speech and ideas and
Speaker 1: think that they're virtuous for doing so. They really believe
Speaker 1: that what they're doing is responsible and good and helpful,
Speaker 1: and don't see it as a huge gateway to totalitarianism,
Speaker 1: which is, of course is what it is. But they've
Speaker 1: they've they've abandoned this concept. They no longer think of
Speaker 1: free speech and free ideas as necessary for the functioning
Speaker 1: of our society the way that it should go, so
Speaker 1: that I view that as very, very very troubling. And
Speaker 1: by the way, I want you all to write in
Speaker 1: and you know, for roll Call and tell me it's
Speaker 1: just you know, things that you if there are certain
Speaker 1: guests you really love hearing from on this show that
Speaker 1: you've heard from before. People. I do like when people
Speaker 1: give me recommendations. But you know, if you tell me Buck,
Speaker 1: have Joe Rogan on your show, it's like, yeah, he's
Speaker 1: pretty busy. It's not easy to get certain people to
Speaker 1: be a guest on another show. So just keep that
Speaker 1: in mind. If you're like Buck get Trump back, Sure
Speaker 1: I will at some point, but you know that's that's
Speaker 1: not as easy as just picking up the phone and dling.
Speaker 1: But any of our regulars you'd like to hear from
Speaker 1: um and and also just any if there's a particular
Speaker 1: segment where you feel like I really nail it or
Speaker 1: you know, I want I'm doing Facebook lives now more often,
Speaker 1: and that'll just be a conversation with all of you two.
Speaker 1: So if you're not already following me on Facebook, please
Speaker 1: do go to Facebook dot com slash Buck Sexton. You'll
Speaker 1: see I'm gonna be doing these lives where I just
Speaker 1: hear from you, talk to you, and because I want to.
Speaker 1: I want to know where all of you are right now,
Speaker 1: with what's happening in the country, what you're feeling about
Speaker 1: our politics, and I want to know it directly and
Speaker 1: be able to reach out to you and and have
Speaker 1: a You know this, this is a presentation right radio.
Speaker 1: It's a conversation, but it's it's in a presentation format
Speaker 1: because I'm having to do the speaking right now. But
Speaker 1: when I can in real time interact with you via Facebook,
Speaker 1: that's a really fun way to have an exchange of
Speaker 1: ideas and to get a better and even better sense
Speaker 1: of where you are. All of you listening to this
Speaker 1: who want to join in on that, So Facebook dot com,
Speaker 1: slash buck Sex, then please give me a follow there
Speaker 1: if you're listening to this you haven't already followed me
Speaker 1: on Facebook, because we are going to be doing more
Speaker 1: there and those are saying bark, but what about I'm
Speaker 1: waiting for Parlor to come back. I know, Facebook tyrant
Speaker 1: censor stuff. My my approach to this is I use
Speaker 1: the tools that I have to reach you and spread
Speaker 1: the word while I have them. That's that's the it's
Speaker 1: my all of the above approach. You know, I'm I'm
Speaker 1: going forward on Twitter, on Facebook, on Parlor, on Instagram,
Speaker 1: I'm on TikTok even. I know that Chinese are looking
Speaker 1: at all my data and stuff, but I'm using it.
Speaker 1: I'm using the platforms that exist. And remember they shut
Speaker 1: down Parlor and they've even come after Rumble. I believe
Speaker 1: a little bit. I have to operate within the framework
Speaker 1: of the technology that exists and the platforms that exist.
Speaker 1: Right now, I am hoping to be a part in
Speaker 1: the future, and I'm already talking to people about this,
Speaker 1: about creating a platform that I will be able to control.
Speaker 1: But that's the ways off. So for right now, I'm
Speaker 1: taking that all the above approach, and that includes Facebook
Speaker 1: until they kick me off, which could happen at any time.
Speaker 1: But I'm going to be doing lives there to reach
Speaker 1: out to all of you because I want us to
Speaker 1: have that higher level of connectivity that I wanted to
Speaker 1: be a conversation and I got people listening to the
Speaker 1: show from all over the country, you know, I mean,
Speaker 1: there's we're talking. We reach millions of people. I mean,
Speaker 1: I usually say hundreds of thousands to be you know,
Speaker 1: kind of keep the number a little lower to be modest.
Speaker 1: But we reach millions of people in America with this show.
Speaker 1: So I think that that's, you know, on a month
Speaker 1: month basis, that's what the real reaches. And I think
Speaker 1: that everyone should just have their opportunity if they want
Speaker 1: to try to talk to me directly and tell me
Speaker 1: what they're thinking. And and this is this is the
Speaker 1: way that we well I was gonna borrow for Mandalorian.
Speaker 1: This is the way. So there you go. This is
Speaker 1: the way you're listening to the Buck Sexton Choke podcast.
Speaker 1: Make sure you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeartRadio
Speaker 1: app or wherever you get your podcasts. More roll call,
Speaker 1: We got Jason up here rides Hey, bucking Mark. I'm
Speaker 1: catching up on some episodes from last week and heard
Speaker 1: you talking about the Vegas rent a machine gun come
Speaker 1: to Georgia where you can drive a tank that will
Speaker 1: beat the machine gun. Well, Jason, I will have you
Speaker 1: know that in my time at the CIA, I actually
Speaker 1: received some tank driving training, believe it or not, just
Speaker 1: a familiarization, not real, not real, because there's like real
Speaker 1: tank drivers and gunners listening to this. I didn't. It
Speaker 1: was like a FAM familiarization, FAM FAM thing. You know,
Speaker 1: I just got to drive an old I think it
Speaker 1: was a a T fifty two, maybe an old Soviet.
Speaker 1: It's like driving a lawn rower. Man. It was not complicated.
Speaker 1: There's like a thing you pushed forward to go forward,
Speaker 1: a thing you pushed to the side to go to
Speaker 1: the side, like a lever. It's not even a wheel.
Speaker 1: I think it was a Russian T fifty two or
Speaker 1: T fifty five tank. I can't I can't even remember now. Um,
Speaker 1: So I got a producer, Mark, you ever driven to it? Wait?
Speaker 1: Was it a T? Yeah? That sounds right, um, producer Mark,
Speaker 1: Have you ever driven a tank before? I can't say
Speaker 1: I've been in the position to drive a tank. No,
Speaker 1: have you ever fired a machine gun before? No? Okay,
Speaker 1: well we gotta get the We gotta get you to
Speaker 1: fire machine gun for some at some point. That's kind
Speaker 1: of fun. Yeah, that sounds like a fun act. It
Speaker 1: is very loud and goes bang, bang bang. I'd wear
Speaker 1: some plugs. Yeah, yeah, you definitely want to wear your plugs,
Speaker 1: especially in my profession. My hear it's kind of yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: me too. If you get up on the two forty
Speaker 1: golf and you want to, you know, you want to
Speaker 1: let that puppy, let that puppy rip, you gotta uh,

Speaker 1: ears cover. So um yea all right, important stuff. But yeah, Jason,
Speaker 1: Georgia sounds like fun. Man, Georgia sounds like a good time.
Speaker 1: I'm a fan of the state of Georgia. We gotta
Speaker 1: flip it red, though, ladies and gents. I'm a big
Speaker 1: believer in this. You know, Republicans have got to start
Speaker 1: being strategic about where they live, you know. And I'm
Speaker 1: I know you're gonna say, Buck, you live in New York.
Speaker 1: That's not gonna last. I'm gonna move to a red state.
Speaker 1: It's gonna happen. It's gonna happen in the next year
Speaker 1: or two. So you know, that's that's coming down the
Speaker 1: that's coming down the pike. Um, and I gotta figure
Speaker 1: out where it is. I mean, does a part of
Speaker 1: me it's like, we gotta absolutely get Georgia back in
Speaker 1: the red. We gotta get North Carolina solid red. It's
Speaker 1: really a toss up state right now. Um. We gotta
Speaker 1: run up the scoreboard a little bit more in Florida
Speaker 1: so that it becomes a red stronghold than not just
Speaker 1: a likely red. We gotta we gotta get Pennsylvania. You know,
Speaker 1: we lost Pennsylvania this last one. We need, folks to
Speaker 1: the problem of Pennsylvania. Is he probably proved more what's
Speaker 1: the tax rate like theren't even that's probably pretty high.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure. Off the top of my head, I'm looking. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm just wondering. I mean, it's not it's not a
Speaker 1: zero tax state. I know that. So you know, it's
Speaker 1: not like Tennessee or some of these other places like
Speaker 1: the Promised Land Texas. I know, I know I haven't
Speaker 1: been given as much love to the Great State of
Speaker 1: Texas lately as I usually do and have throughout my career.
Speaker 1: But I'm just it's it's not I mean, I love Texans.
Speaker 1: It's like if I ever had to just pick a
Speaker 1: place where I had to go and know that it's
Speaker 1: all gonna be okay, I'd moved to Texas. But I'm
Speaker 1: angry at Governor Abbott with the whole COVID thing, because
Speaker 1: he should have followed the santiss He should have followed
Speaker 1: the DeSantis model, and he didn't. So that's all that is.
Speaker 1: So I'm just a little bitter at the governor of
Speaker 1: Texas for not going full to Santis. That's what that is.
Speaker 1: But I know Texas is still Freedom's homeland and it's
Speaker 1: got that. It's got that going for it, which is nice. Pennsylvania,
Speaker 1: by the way, up three percent income tax in a
Speaker 1: fairly low tax state state. Oh that's not bad. That's
Speaker 1: not bad. I think North Carolina is like six percent,
Speaker 1: which is actually pretty high. And New York is you know,
Speaker 1: with New York City added, it's double digits fifteen yeah,
Speaker 1: in ten, eleven, twelve, Yeah, it's it's definitely double digits.
Speaker 1: So it's crazy, but it's not bad. Pennsylvania we got
Speaker 1: we got great station in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. We got Team Bucked.
Speaker 1: Pennsylvania is strong. So but where do you you know,
Speaker 1: if you move the Pennsylvania, where do you move? That's
Speaker 1: really the question. If you're gonna leave a big city
Speaker 1: like New York, you to pensyl I'm not going to
Speaker 1: Philly surrounded by Libs. Can't do that, all right, So
Speaker 1: I gotta find a place, probably out west in Pennsylvania.
Speaker 1: It's a much bigger state than you think. I actually
Speaker 1: drove through there to West Virginia once for a job interview.
Speaker 1: It took takes hours to get through Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania's huge. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you don't realize it until you're physically driving through it.
Speaker 1: It's very east to west big, you know. That's the thing.
Speaker 1: You can drive through Pennsylvania to get to DC from
Speaker 1: New York or Boston, for example, and you're like, yeah, whatever,
Speaker 1: you know in Pennsylvania for a little bit, you know,
Speaker 1: very east. It's kind of like New York State. You know,
Speaker 1: New York State can be Connecticut, New Jersey, New York.
Speaker 1: You're going back and forth, you know, all in one day,
Speaker 1: and then you decide you want to go. Like the
Speaker 1: Snow Princess is from Buffalo. Buffalo is like it's like
Speaker 1: you're next up Alaska. I mean, Buffalo is way out there,
Speaker 1: way upstate. New York might as well be a different state.
Speaker 1: No offense to them, but compared to you know, we
Speaker 1: love them, and we have our we have our we
Speaker 1: have our w G y uh listener in listeners up
Speaker 1: in Albany. And but that's but see, I don't even
Speaker 1: know if Albany Counts is upstate, I mean the the
Speaker 1: other upstate ors say Albany is downstate. I think some
Speaker 1: of them when you go up much farther up it's
Speaker 1: it's basically downstate. Yeah, well that's what I mean. Once
Speaker 1: you get up near like the Saint Lawrence River area,
Speaker 1: basically they think of it all as as very much downstate.
Speaker 1: So anyway, um, that's where let's get back into roll
Speaker 1: call here. Chad, Hey, Avid listener here in Colorado, appreciate
Speaker 1: the excellent commentary you provide as I drive as to
Speaker 1: pick up my daughters from daycare. I love your perspective
Speaker 1: on the state our country's in, which unfortunately is very
Speaker 1: sad at the moment. I hear you, as well as
Speaker 1: other conservative voices discussing how hypocritical, dishonest, untrustworthy, and flaw
Speaker 1: of the left is and completely agree. I'm writing to
Speaker 1: you for your perspective and what we can do to
Speaker 1: drive action and see accountability. Myself and many Americans are
Speaker 1: completely fed up with the constant lies. Any tips are
