Speaker 1: This is Buck's first thoughts, the news you need to
Speaker 1: get through your day in forty five minutes. Make sure
Speaker 1: you subscribe on the iHeart app or wherever you get
Speaker 1: your podcasts. You're not allowed to do a better job
Speaker 1: than the Democrats favored by the corporate media. That's a rule. Now.
Speaker 1: You may not have seen it or read that posted anywhere,
Speaker 1: but it's true because Governor Ronda Santis of Florida is
Speaker 1: under assault from all across the country now from the Libs,
Speaker 1: from the Democrats who insist that what he is doing
Speaker 1: is reckless, who insists that the state of Florida is
Speaker 1: some god forsaken hell hole, when in reality, everybody who
Speaker 1: goes there says, how do I move here? If you
Speaker 1: live in a blue state that has been under lockdowns
Speaker 1: for months and months and months, if you live in
Speaker 1: one of these Democrat run tyrannies and you go down
Speaker 1: for a visit to Florida, you say, oh, so life
Speaker 1: is just better down here right now? Why don't I
Speaker 1: get a piece of this? And they hate him for it.
Speaker 1: They hate him also because now they're just making incoherent arguments.
Speaker 1: Incoherent arguments. New York Times writing about how Americans must
Speaker 1: ensure that their masks are doubled up or tightened up. Now,
Speaker 1: those of you who listen to this show every day,
Speaker 1: now that I have been on this for many months now,
Speaker 1: I've been telling you, they're going to tell you double mask.
Speaker 1: They're going to suddenly discover, oh, n ninety five masks
Speaker 1: are in fact, considerably more effective than the little cloth
Speaker 1: mask you have on. They're going to figure out that
Speaker 1: bandanas do very little. And they're going to tell you
Speaker 1: that this is now the grounds for new mandates, new restrictions,
Speaker 1: more power for them, less freedom for you. And now
Speaker 1: here we are. Let's just go over this argument for
Speaker 1: a second. I want to get back into the Florida
Speaker 1: situation because I think that that now is going to
Speaker 1: be the primary struggle for liberty in this country is
Speaker 1: going to play out in many ways with Florida versus
Speaker 1: the federal government. The Biden administration cannot allow the success
Speaker 1: of the Sunshine State in the face of COVID to continue.
Speaker 1: They have to create a different narrative. And if they
Speaker 1: have to cheat somehow, if they have to create a
Speaker 1: travel ban for people from Florida or to Florida, oh,
Speaker 1: that's already being reported. They're thinking about it. That's right,
Speaker 1: the place where everyone's going to escape the idiot tyranny
Speaker 1: of the Fauciites. That's the place that has to be punished.
Speaker 1: But let's start with their argument on masks. And this
Speaker 1: is why I have been once again throttled on Twitter.
Speaker 1: So people can't see what I say on Twitter. They
Speaker 1: show it to maybe three end or two percent of
Speaker 1: my Twitter audience. Thank god I have this show, I
Speaker 1: have this radio program, I have my podcast. Thank God
Speaker 1: I can actually still reach people and make these arguments
Speaker 1: in this way, because if I try to rely on
Speaker 1: the social media platforms, they shut me down. They shut
Speaker 1: the guy down. To be clear, who is documented as
Speaker 1: saying in October of last year, the double mask mandate
Speaker 1: is coming. It is now the middle of February. And
Speaker 1: guess what CDC guidances double mask or wear a more
Speaker 1: tightly fitted mask. That's the way they're going to try
Speaker 1: to get around this. So it's enough of a CDC
Speaker 1: mandate to harass you. So now people can say, excuse me, sir,
Speaker 1: can you put two masks on before you come into
Speaker 1: my store? And if you don't, someone's gonna say why
Speaker 1: don't you take the virus seriously. But when you see
Speaker 1: politicians and people who are telling you to be terrified,
Speaker 1: and they're clearly not terrified of the virus, they'll say, WHOA,
Speaker 1: my mask was very snugly fitted. Remember this, do not
Speaker 1: forget it. It will be essential to understand what is
Speaker 1: happening in the months ahead. The worst tyranny is not
Speaker 1: the absolute enforcement of strict rules. The worst tiery tyranny
Speaker 1: is the capricious enforcement of arbitrary rules. Some people get punished,
Speaker 1: some people don't. Some people have to live with these
Speaker 1: extreme measures. Other people always get a pass. Because how
Speaker 1: do you even operate it in a a society like that.
Speaker 1: It's actually just all about power. It's not even based
Speaker 1: on shared belief and shared principle at all. There's no
Speaker 1: shared goal in a society like that. It's just people
Speaker 1: wanting to control you. So now, the guy who tells
Speaker 1: you me that this is what's going to happen, how
Speaker 1: did I know what was going to happen? How did
Speaker 1: I know that we would get to a double mask mandate? Well,
Speaker 1: I looked at what was happening in countries all over
Speaker 1: the world where they were relying primarily on their mask
Speaker 1: policy to bring down COVID nineteen cases. And you couldn't
Speaker 1: see a clear correlation. And if you can't see a
Speaker 1: clear correlation, how effective can it possibly be? And you
Speaker 1: sit here and you look around, you say, also, if
Speaker 1: this is so straightforward, I mean, this is the primary
Speaker 1: argument that I've been making for a long time. If
Speaker 1: this is so straightforward, how is it that the height
Speaker 1: of the medical profession, that the top of the national
Speaker 1: the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease doctor Fauci,
Speaker 1: who you know, I think is really he's like the
Speaker 1: evil little you know, Rasputin in a lab coat of
Speaker 1: our time. I mean, I think this guy is a
Speaker 1: nightmare for civil liberties. I think he's a nightmare for
Speaker 1: the politicization of medicine. I think he's awful. I want
Speaker 1: to be very clear about this. And he's been wrong
Speaker 1: and he never admits it, and he won't stand up
Speaker 1: in favor of freedom. This guy's the worst. How is
Speaker 1: it that exactly, give or take a few weeks a
Speaker 1: year ago, he's laughing at the idea we have a
Speaker 1: pandemic coming that we believe has a four to five
Speaker 1: percent fatality rate. That was a year ago. As we know,
Speaker 1: it's considerably less than one percent, but we thought it
Speaker 1: was four or five percent. That was what the early
Speaker 1: reports were, and it was spreading all over the place,
Speaker 1: and Fauci basically waved his hand. It might make people
Speaker 1: feel better to wear masks, but it really doesn't do anything.
Speaker 1: That's a year ago, and they can't erase that. They can.
Speaker 1: They can shout at you, they can yell at you.
Speaker 1: They can do if it's that effective. I mean, can
Speaker 1: you imagine do you think that, you know, do you
Speaker 1: think that a doctor would go on TV and say, hey,
Speaker 1: you know, turns out, you know, the polio vaccination. We
Speaker 1: really don't think it's that effective. So like, you know,
Speaker 1: no one needs to get it, don't worry about it,
Speaker 1: and then a year later go, actually, the only way
Speaker 1: we're going to defeat polios with the vaccination. No, they wouldn't,
Speaker 1: they wouldn't change their tune that dramatically on something so
Speaker 1: essential with so many lives at stake. And they say
Speaker 1: it's obvious. Remember they didn't do some brand new study,
Speaker 1: they didn't have some new scientific discovery. It's oh, what
Speaker 1: do you mean? Of course we all have to wear
Speaker 1: masks Of course a year ago you were saying it
Speaker 1: was dumb, it was silly. Why do they have people
Speaker 1: go what about doctors. Doctors wear a mask in a
Speaker 1: limited clinical setting, properly fitted, they change them, they wear
Speaker 1: fresh ones, and even then they can still get sick.
Speaker 1: But they're directly exposing themselves. We could all walk around
Speaker 1: with helmets on because of falling debris from buildings, but
Speaker 1: construction workers more important, they wear helmets. Right. How many
Speaker 1: construction workers do you know have actually been hit with
Speaker 1: debris on their head? Probably zero, But in that one situation,
Speaker 1: in that one case, it you know, in that limited circumstance,
Speaker 1: it's fine. What we're doing now is we're all construction
Speaker 1: workers and we have to sleep with our helmets on
Speaker 1: all the time because you never know when falling the
Speaker 1: breeze gonna happen. Right, I mean they've expanded our risk
Speaker 1: parameters into silly territory, meaning that we actually we can't
Speaker 1: allow for any risk in society. This is how I
Speaker 1: saw this coming because the places that are the most
Speaker 1: I mean, they were smoked. I mean, there was an
Speaker 1: arrogance in California. You remember this with Gavin Newsom in
Speaker 1: the middle of the summer, the weather was a little
Speaker 1: bit warmer. Yeah, we masked up. We know what we're doing.
Speaker 1: I had people that were telling me friends of mine
Speaker 1: who are lives because I do have lib friends. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so what if there's all these BLM protests, they're all
Speaker 1: masked up, it's not a problem. And it's say, is
Speaker 1: that really the Is that really the standard? Now, it's
Speaker 1: not a problem to mass together in close quarters when
Speaker 1: you're when you're masked up. That's interesting. Let's see how that.
Speaker 1: Let's see how that turns out. And then the explosion
Speaker 1: of cases in California, explosion of cases in New York
Speaker 1: and New Jersey, all across the country, and you know
Speaker 1: what they're saying, now, mask up even more. This is
Speaker 1: from the New York Times piece. Doctor Brooks emphasized that
Speaker 1: masking as Americans currently practice it is not insufficient, but
Speaker 1: the new advice offers an opportunity to take it to
Speaker 1: the next level. Oh okay. Quote. Now, we're worried about
Speaker 1: forms of the virus that may transmit more efficiently or
Speaker 1: undercut the utility of existing diagnostics, therapeutics and vaccines. We
Speaker 1: need to up our game to slow the spread of
Speaker 1: the virus the real problem, folks. They won't say it
Speaker 1: this way because then the public might realize what a
Speaker 1: bunch of clowns who don't understand life trade offs and
Speaker 1: policy we're listening to here. And you know, the Great
Speaker 1: Baranting Declaration has essentially been scrubbed from the Internet. The
Speaker 1: thousands and thousand of doctors and scientists who are saying
Speaker 1: we're doing this wrong, scrubbed, took it down off a Facebook.
Speaker 1: It's like it never happened. This is Soviet Union level
Speaker 1: cleansing of history and debate and thought. It's going on
Speaker 1: in America right now. It's either real problem. The reason
Speaker 1: that we have all these issues with COVID nineteen, it's
Speaker 1: not that this is a virus that spreads easily among
Speaker 1: human beings and there's no way the government is going
Speaker 1: to be able to protect you from this that. It's
Speaker 1: not any of that. It's we didn't do a good
Speaker 1: enough job listening to them, which is what I told
Speaker 1: you would be their excuse all along, all the mask mandates,
Speaker 1: all the lockdowns. You cannot look at what happened in
Speaker 1: this country over this winter and say, yeah, we stopped
Speaker 1: the virus. Remember at the beginning, it was flattened the curve,
Speaker 1: which is just a slowing of cases. We got sold
Speaker 1: into this with the understanding that, oh, this virus was
Speaker 1: gonna spread. We just didn't want it to all hit
Speaker 1: at once, so we were trying to extend the caseload
Speaker 1: over a longer period of time to make sure that
Speaker 1: we didn't overwhelmed hospital capacity. Let me ask you this,
Speaker 1: how many hospitals were overwhelmed in this country? Unable and
Speaker 1: when I say hospital, if someone had to go from
Speaker 1: one hospital to another where they had that, that's not
Speaker 1: an overwhelmed hospital system, so you still get care. How
Speaker 1: many places were there people who were unable to be
Speaker 1: treated for COVID nineteen in America because the hospital system
Speaker 1: simply had no more doctors, no more beds, nothing. Last
Speaker 1: I checked, it was zero. How many times did you
Speaker 1: hear that was going to happen? I don't know. A
Speaker 1: thousand news articles probably came across my screen. Oh, the overwhelmed,
Speaker 1: the hospitals close to overwhelmed, about to be overwhelmed. Who
Speaker 1: was telling you last June that test in trace was moronic?
Speaker 1: Moronic for a disease at this level of spread. What
Speaker 1: they're gonna they're gonna trace one hundred thousand cases a day,
Speaker 1: and are they kidding? They're gonna find everyone who's been
Speaker 1: in contact with hundreds of thousands of people across the country,
Speaker 1: and that's how we're going to fight the virus. Yeah.
Speaker 1: That to remember, you were hearing a lot in Nancy
Speaker 1: PLESI tic test and trace was supposed to be what
Speaker 1: would be necessary to get us out of this. They
Speaker 1: actually had test and trace mandates in place from New
Speaker 1: York before we could reopen, and then they realized they
Speaker 1: were never going to get it in place and time,
Speaker 1: so they had to finally reopen without actually meeting their
Speaker 1: own standards. They've been wrong so much. When when are
Speaker 1: we allowed to say enough is enough? They've been wrong
Speaker 1: so many times. Now they're telling you double mask. I
Speaker 1: said they would, they would tell you this is what
Speaker 1: we needed to do. It's on record. I said it
Speaker 1: months ago, and people who were now saying double mask
Speaker 1: shouted me down. That's idiotic. Don't say you know what
Speaker 1: you're listen to science, Listen to Fauci the bleating of sheep.
Speaker 1: They're really sheep whose aspiration as a society is to
Speaker 1: turn into lemmings. So they can take us all over
Speaker 1: the cliff together, all because they think if they listen
Speaker 1: to the so smart people, we'll be safer, we'll be fine,
Speaker 1: we'll all live forever. Our news for them, none of
Speaker 1: us will. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Follow
Speaker 1: Buck on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. The media is worried
Speaker 1: about that, obviously, You guys really love that. You don't
Speaker 1: care as much if it's a quote peaceful protest, and
Speaker 1: then it's fine. You don't care as much if they're
Speaker 1: celebrating a Biden election. You only care about it if
Speaker 1: it's people that you don't like. So I'm a Bucks fan.
Speaker 1: I'm damn proud of what they did on Sunday night.
Speaker 1: And so in terms of the UK variant, here's what
Speaker 1: we know. We know based on all the evidence, that
Speaker 1: these vaccines are going to be effective against that, and
Speaker 1: that's really the main concern. I mean, we're getting our
Speaker 1: seniors vaccinated. We've not seen any data or any evidence
Speaker 1: to suggest that these vaccines are not effective. And so
Speaker 1: if we get the seniors vaccinated, we're going to be good.
Speaker 1: And that's what we're gonna do, not panicking, not allowing
Speaker 1: the media narrative to drive policy governed scientists just saying
Speaker 1: we got this. We're going to do what is reasonable
Speaker 1: and what we can do. And that's all I ask for.
Speaker 1: That's all I've wanted all along, for politicians to understand
Speaker 1: that a do no harm approach for COVID policy would
Speaker 1: have been far better than what we've had, because they've
Speaker 1: made so much worse. They've politicized the hell out of
Speaker 1: this thing. And we see it all the time. If
Speaker 1: there are people that the media doesn't like who aren't
Speaker 1: wearing masks outside and so it doesn't matter, it's a
Speaker 1: front page news story. If there are a protesters for justice,
Speaker 1: oh yes, they've achieved so much of that, haven't they
Speaker 1: so much justice? Then we're told that it's fine, that
Speaker 1: the virus all of a sudden will take a kind
Speaker 1: of holiday and nothing will happen. That's just not true.
Speaker 1: And yet there's the possibility the federal government will go
Speaker 1: after Florida here, that's right. The federal government may decide
Speaker 1: to make an example of Rhonda Santis and those who
Speaker 1: support his approach. This is from the Miami Herald. The
Speaker 1: Biden administration is considering whether to impose domestic travel restrictions,
Speaker 1: including on Florida, fearful that coronavirus mutations are threatening to
Speaker 1: reverse hard fought progress on the pandemic. Now, notice that
Speaker 1: they're going they're going specifically after Floridy here because they're saying, oh,
Speaker 1: they've and the excuses, well, they found more of the
Speaker 1: variance in Florida. Does anyone think that the variance of
Speaker 1: the UK strain or the South Africa strain or whatever
Speaker 1: strain are limited to Florida at this point? Does anyone
Speaker 1: really think that the federal government isn't isn't a little
Speaker 1: bit at least thinking about how they can slap down
Speaker 1: the descentists approach, because it undermines what has Joe Biden
Speaker 1: done that's better than what Trump was doing. Name one
Speaker 1: thing on COVID response one thing. I'm a double mask
Speaker 1: come or a double mask because you know, because I
Speaker 1: believe in science. So in our triple mask, come triple masking.
Speaker 1: You know. The problem with everyone thinking that the masks
Speaker 1: are going to be our salvation here is that people
Speaker 1: unmask themselves in front of other people constantly. You can't
Speaker 1: have an entirely masked society, and so over time people
Speaker 1: are just exposed to this over time, essentially everybody gets
Speaker 1: exposed to it. They've led us to believe, if only
Speaker 1: we listen more, some people would never even come into
Speaker 1: contact with the virus, to be fun, no real threat
Speaker 1: of infection. Well, we're seeing how that plan has worked
Speaker 1: out so far. How much worse would it be anywhere else?
Speaker 1: Take a look at what's gone on here the Biden
Speaker 1: administration imposing possible domestic travel restrictions. I am starting to
Speaker 1: get really worried that the reset in the stock market,
Speaker 1: in the economy, and a great financial calamity is coming
Speaker 1: to this country because of moron woke lib Biden voters.
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Buck Sexton Choke podcast, make sure
Speaker 1: you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeartRadio or wherever
Speaker 1: you get your podcasts. If you look at the projection,
Speaker 1: I would imagine by the time we get to April,
Speaker 1: that will be what I would call from you for
Speaker 1: better wording open season. Namely, virtually everybody in anybody, in
Speaker 1: any category could start to get vaccinated. Now, shouldn't that
Speaker 1: mean that we could establish at some point, all right, everybody,
Speaker 1: we've all had our chance to get vaccinated. Can't we
Speaker 1: just decide now, okay, by June we go back to
Speaker 1: normal life. Enough, they won't do that. In fact, Fouci's
Speaker 1: already said that you should be prepared to wear your
Speaker 1: mask and all the nonsense, all the anxiety, all the
Speaker 1: finger pointing from the anxious little tattle tales that watch
Speaker 1: too much MSNBC. How dare you take your mask off
Speaker 1: in the store to drink water? You're putting us all
Speaker 1: at risk? How much longer? We'll deal with that till
Speaker 1: at least the end of this year, he says. Then,
Speaker 1: if Fauci's telling you by November or December, we can
Speaker 1: start to let our guard down, as he calls it. Oh,
Speaker 1: it'll be it'll be next summer before they finally take
Speaker 1: their grubby little fingers out of your life. That's what
Speaker 1: That's what you're really Oh and they've done such a
Speaker 1: great job, haven't they, with with all the mitigation measures
Speaker 1: in stopping the virus? Has it been amazing listening to
Speaker 1: all these people mask compliance? Highest it's ever been by far?
Speaker 1: Look what that did for us over the winter. Oh,
Speaker 1: it was magical, wasn't it. We had we had such
Speaker 1: a great result. It's awful. And yet if we listen
Speaker 1: this time around, they promise us everything will be so
Speaker 1: much better. There's no you know, there's no leeway whatsoever
Speaker 1: for individual choice here, because of course you're a threat
Speaker 1: to other people. It's like, well, isn't that interesting. They've
Speaker 1: created a narrative here where they can continue this forever
Speaker 1: if they want to. They have new variants, new strains
Speaker 1: of the virus. Maybe they we've gotten into the Maybe
Speaker 1: this could be true. So let's build policy on its
Speaker 1: stage of the panic, the COVID panic that has been
Speaker 1: forced on all of us. Perfect example, where is the
Speaker 1: science on if you're vaccinated and or have already had
Speaker 1: and cleared the disease officially, you were tested, you had it,
Speaker 1: you got sick, you're better that you should still mask
Speaker 1: and quarantine. Well, it's because we haven't done massive specific
Speaker 1: studies for COVID nineteen about how long you have immunity.
Speaker 1: But we know that based on all other science to date,
Speaker 1: based on all other data we have about vaccinations, you're
Speaker 1: going to be immune for quite some time, unless somehow
Speaker 1: this is different. But oh, the possibility is enough. Everyone
Speaker 1: still has to mask. You know what this is really about.
Speaker 1: They realize that if they made the allowance for people
Speaker 1: who had gotten vaccinated not to mask. There'd probably be
Speaker 1: people who just say, you know what, I'm not going
Speaker 1: to ask any more period. And that's that's why, because
Speaker 1: because their explanation is absurd. Otherwise, oh you could, you
Speaker 1: can get the virus and spread the virus, but your
Speaker 1: body's already protected against it. Is that true of other viruses?
Speaker 1: Is that a common thing that that occurs in science
Speaker 1: in medicine. No, but with this one maybe it is.
Speaker 1: That's what they tell you. So because they can't prove
Speaker 1: that their theory that goes against all other vaccination data
Speaker 1: and science for you know, for over well, first vaccinations
Speaker 1: were around the eighteen hundreds, we're going to a couple
Speaker 1: hundred years, but certainly the last hundred years of modern medicine.
Speaker 1: And yeah, now they're telling you what we can't prove,
Speaker 1: I'm not wrong. So wear your mask. And it's a
Speaker 1: symbol of all this stuff, all the restrictions, all that
Speaker 1: continued hell that they put people through. And to give
Speaker 1: you an idea of how how stupid they really are. Right,
Speaker 1: remember I told you test and trace as a means
Speaker 1: of controlling the virus was stupid, and I was right,
Speaker 1: no one. They could put any MD up against me,
Speaker 1: any PhD. I said, how are you gonna do? This
Speaker 1: isn't about Oh but I look at slides under a
Speaker 1: microscope and I have an MD PhD M. It's just logic.
Speaker 1: You're gonna find hundreds of thousands of cases a day.
Speaker 1: You're gonna track all these people down. And so excuse me?
Speaker 1: Can you corn? And what did that even do? Can
Speaker 1: you quarantine? Please? Uh? No? Boop? What are you gonna
Speaker 1: send people with guns to everyone's house? Make them stay
Speaker 1: at home? Is this is this communist China? I know
Speaker 1: some Democrats want it to be. Test and trace was
Speaker 1: a joke. Double masking was coming because masking did not
Speaker 1: work sufficiently even with mass adoption. That is what happened
Speaker 1: in this country. So now it's double masking or better
Speaker 1: fitted masks, to which I just say, triple mask baby.
Speaker 1: We already saw there was a news story on NBC
Speaker 1: or maybe it was CNBC about how effective triple masking
Speaker 1: would be. And sure enough, now some people are going
Speaker 1: to start doing that. So I knew that was going
Speaker 1: to happen. And there are so many of these these rules,
Speaker 1: these regulations that are idiotic. But if you tell them that,
Speaker 1: they yell at you. I'm amazed at how many people.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to give them back some autonomy, some freedom,
Speaker 1: some dignity, get some of their dignity back that has
Speaker 1: been taken from them by the Fauciites. Got to be
Speaker 1: terrified or relatives. They told you to be afraid of
Speaker 1: your family members over Thanksgiving and Christmas. Remember every two
Speaker 1: weeks it was, oh my gosh, the explosion from the holidays. No,
Speaker 1: it's called wintertime. And there were more viruses spreading then,
Speaker 1: as is always the case, they want to do avoid
Speaker 1: family members. There will be a lot of people who
Speaker 1: don't die from COVID, but this was their last Christmas,
Speaker 1: or this was their last Thanksgiving, and if they loosened
Speaker 1: to fauci they didn't spend it with family. Thanks fouch.
Speaker 1: And now they're talking about a test before you can
Speaker 1: get on for domestic domestic flights, a test for COVID. Gee,
Speaker 1: that's not going to be a giant pain in the ass.
Speaker 1: What is it going to be three days before, two
Speaker 1: days before? When are you good? You know that there
Speaker 1: are a number of there are a number of people
Speaker 1: who are going to get false positives that's just baked
Speaker 1: into the testing system because especially the way they were
Speaker 1: doing it before, with the amplification of the of the
Speaker 1: virus particles, with the way they were doing it was
Speaker 1: at such a sensitive level that it would pick up
Speaker 1: old virus, dead virus, discarded virus. They've, I believe, begun
Speaker 1: to scale that back a little bit. And so now
Speaker 1: they're telling you if the test before you get on
Speaker 1: a plane, you could still get sick the day after
Speaker 1: you get on the plane. And also we're taking precautions
Speaker 1: on planes. I thought, plane, we're supposed to be pretty safe.
Speaker 1: What the heck happened? I thought if we were our
Speaker 1: masks on the plane, it's not that big a deal.
Speaker 1: It's an acceptable risk. This is all about acceptable risk.
Speaker 1: And then the dumbest thing of all, but it's political.
Speaker 1: That's why I understand why they're doing it. It's not
Speaker 1: really about science. It's definitely not about keeping you safe.
Speaker 1: It's political. Where are we with domestic restrictions on travel
Speaker 1: that there's a possibility that that could even happen. This
Speaker 1: is back to this piece in the Miami Herald where
Speaker 1: they're saying, quote, the Biden administration is considering whether to
Speaker 1: impose domestic travel restrictions, including on Florida, fearful that coronavirus
Speaker 1: mutations are threatening to reverse hard fought progress on the pandemic.
Speaker 1: By the way, the progress is, it's burning through our population,
Speaker 1: and we have vaccinations. That's the only progress that's happening.
Speaker 1: We haven't contained. We didn't stop it. Obviously, outbreaks of
Speaker 1: the new variants, including a highly contagious one first identified
Speaker 1: in the United Kingdom, as well as others from South
Speaker 1: Africa and Brazil that scientists worry can evade existing vaccines,
Speaker 1: have lent urgency to a review of potential travel restrictions
Speaker 1: within the United States. Discussions the administration over potential travel
Speaker 1: restrictions do not target a specific state, but focus on
Speaker 1: how to prevent the spread of variants that are surging
Speaker 1: in a number of states, including Florida and California. But oh,
Speaker 1: this was this was so interesting to see. You mean
Speaker 1: the place that we're this article has been updated. I
Speaker 1: was going to say that they've been some of this
Speaker 1: language has been changed since I read it yesterday, the
Speaker 1: addition of California, and there everybody latched onto this and
Speaker 1: they said, hold on a second, because the initial headlines
Speaker 1: were just about Florida. They're going to have travel restrictions
Speaker 1: in place for Florida. How is that going to stop
Speaker 1: the virus. Let's just sit here for a second. This
Speaker 1: means that people they're trying to test this one out.
Speaker 1: They're putting it out there. It's kind of a trial
Speaker 1: balloon people in and around the Biden administration at the
Speaker 1: top level. But this means Faucci. Of course, Fauci's just
Speaker 1: sitting there like the little bureaucrat Hackey is, and he's
Speaker 1: talking to whomever on Biden's task force, and probably Biden himself,
Speaker 1: and they're thinking, you know, Florence got these problems. I'm here,
Speaker 1: and with the new strain, the new variant, you know,
Speaker 1: maybe we gotta do a little something about that. Oh
Speaker 1: you mean you're going to isolate and perhaps even quarantine
Speaker 1: from travel one state in order to protect us all
Speaker 1: from the South African variant, which is not more deadly.
Speaker 1: They just say it's more transmissible. They don't know that
Speaker 1: it goes around any vaccinations. They have no proof of that.
Speaker 1: These are just theories. But you see, when they want
Speaker 1: to do something, a theoretical justification for it is enough Oh,
Speaker 1: you can't travel the Laura anymore. Why because we're not
Speaker 1: sure if the vaccines will work against this variant that
Speaker 1: there's one hundred cases I think or two hundred cases
Speaker 1: of it in Florida. Okay, but it could the vaccine
Speaker 1: may well work against it. We don't know that. So
Speaker 1: what Oh, yeah, but we gotta do we gotta take
Speaker 1: the precaution as if it's only in Florida or only
Speaker 1: in a few states. And then let's let's take a
Speaker 1: step back even further. How dumb are the people in charge? Really?
Speaker 1: I mean, do not let the possibility that we are
Speaker 1: truly ruled by morons ever stray too far from your mind. Okay,
Speaker 1: you're gonna limit domestic domestic airline travel. Well, this thing
Speaker 1: exists in America called cars, and people go to other places,
Speaker 1: they go to other states, and they see other human beings.
Speaker 1: So unless you're going to do a full on statewide
Speaker 1: quarantine lockdown, no one in or out, what do you
Speaker 1: really going to accomplish? And so it's a dumb idea
Speaker 1: top to bottom. It's a it's an enormous, an enormous
Speaker 1: restriction of the rights of Americans to travel freely between
Speaker 1: the States. And I know they haven't done it, but
Speaker 1: the fact that they're even considering it just shows they
Speaker 1: would love nothing more than an opportunity. They'd love nothing
Speaker 1: more than an opportunity to take a big shot at Florida.
Speaker 1: Because the data, the data is there now last twelve months.
Speaker 1: You don't You're you're picking where you're going to be
Speaker 1: just based on the on the economy and the COVID response.
Speaker 1: Would rather be in New York or Florida. Rather be
Speaker 1: in New Jersey or Florida, Rather be in California or Florida.
Speaker 1: You get on the list. It's pretty clear they've got
Speaker 1: to do something about this. They can't, they can't allow
Speaker 1: this narrative to continue because it's a threat to their
Speaker 1: continued power. Hour and then there's just one more thing,
Speaker 1: back to this other point, when do you think this
Speaker 1: really stops? I want you to really keep that in mind,
Speaker 1: because if possibilities are enough for infringements on your liberty
Speaker 1: and on your day to day life, you don't think
Speaker 1: they can always conjure up another possible strain, another possible variant.
Speaker 1: Libs have no problem with this, They have no issue
Speaker 1: at all. They like this stay at home, zoom life.
Speaker 1: They like wearing the mask. They like having working class
Speaker 1: people out there being the ones that are actually exposing
Speaker 1: themselves to the virus. Will they just stay at home
Speaker 1: and type in their computers with their mask on? Oh
Speaker 1: my gosh, they're fine with it. They think the mask
Speaker 1: is no but they always say, oh, it's like seat
Speaker 1: belt wearing. It's like, really, do you have to wear
Speaker 1: a seat belt when you go for a walk alone
Speaker 1: in the woods with your dog, Because that's what these
Speaker 1: idiot libs want. Now. I worry. I worry this country
Speaker 1: has has lost, has lost it guts that our population
Speaker 1: we're just we're too we're just too soft and and uh,
Speaker 1: you know, as long as we're to borrow from it's
Speaker 1: the souls of neats and lines. As long as we're
Speaker 1: safe and warm and fed, it's all the same to us.
Speaker 1: Doesn't really matter. You know, whatever they tell you to do,
Speaker 1: we'll just do it. You know, it'd be one of
Speaker 1: the bad people. I'm amazed, amazed to one of my
Speaker 1: fellow Americans have be willing to go through. I try
Speaker 1: my own little private acts of protest against this, and
Speaker 1: eventually the system overwhelmed me too. Won't silence me. I
Speaker 1: still speak about it, but I'm not going to get
Speaker 1: arrested for being the one person in Manhattan who refuses
Speaker 1: to wear a mask. Right, So let's it's not worth it.
Speaker 1: Everyone else around here is like, oh my gosh, he's
Speaker 1: killing grandma. They've all been brainwashed and they can't. Another
Speaker 1: problem here is they can't disassociate this from Trump. They
Speaker 1: viewed this as a Trump thing. I could care what
Speaker 1: Trump says or does about, or did about the mass
Speaker 1: situation or the virus in general. This is about right now.
Speaker 1: They just don't want to give up the control. You're
Speaker 1: in the freedom hunt. Thanks for listening to The Buck
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Get the latest from Buck at buck
Speaker 1: sexton dot com. It's nearly a United's opinion from health officials,
Speaker 1: the schools have not been particularly high. Sources transmission that
Speaker 1: they have been safe places for adequate ventilation and social distancing,
Speaker 1: that schools have been safe, and so many American parents,
Speaker 1: of course, want their children to be back there. The
Speaker 1: Biden administration has caught some real criticism on this that
Speaker 1: they seem to be not living up to the goals
Speaker 1: that President Biden first set out, and yes, preson Sackey
Speaker 1: suggested that they're one day a week, that that would
Speaker 1: first of all, share a number of schools that they're
Speaker 1: talking about, narrowed that it would be the younger kids
Speaker 1: as opposed to the older kids, and that alienated some parents.
Speaker 1: And then that yes, that one day a week for
Speaker 1: a certain percentage of students would be enough to hit
Speaker 1: their threshold. She walked this back a little bit yesterday.
Speaker 1: She said they're still pressing forward, that she acknowledged that
Speaker 1: they that they want this is still a major centerpiece
Speaker 1: of their plan, but it does seem like right now
Speaker 1: that they're behind on that while and that's something that
Speaker 1: they have taken criticism for. As we see schools like Chicago,
Speaker 1: cities like Chicago and Philadelphia have real issues, and there's
Speaker 1: a sense that they're being reluctant to challenge the teachers
Speaker 1: unions to put those teachers back in classrooms. There's not
Speaker 1: a sense there's the obvious reality that the teachers unions
Speaker 1: are just using this for maximum leverage for their adults
Speaker 1: at the expensive kids. That's it. That's it. Democrats need them,
Speaker 1: Democrats want their donations, want their support. And remember it's
Speaker 1: not even just the federal level. It's really important at
Speaker 1: the state and local level too. The whole Democrat machinery
Speaker 1: doesn't want to touch teachers unions, although they're in the
Speaker 1: back pocket of the Democrat party, or rather the Democrat
Speaker 1: parties in the back pocket of the unions. But why
Speaker 1: is this so important to look at? Here we have
Speaker 1: put in front of us the most clear possible data.
Speaker 1: We've run the experiment. We have private, private, and proochial
Speaker 1: schools have been opened for months. They're fine. All the
Speaker 1: data from America, from Europe, from every country in the world.
Speaker 1: Children are fine. There's no real risk. Democrats won't act
Speaker 1: on it. Democrats won't act on it. This is the
Speaker 1: if you needed proof that they are unreasonable and acting
Speaker 1: in bad faith on COVID nineteen, here is your clear
Speaker 1: as it can possibly be proof that that is what
Speaker 1: is going on. You know, I think some folks are
Speaker 1: just coming to this recognition now. For a lot of
Speaker 1: the rest of us, it's hard not to say, yeah,
Speaker 1: I told you so. This was never about protecting the kids.
Speaker 1: This was never about keeping you safe either. For a
Speaker 1: lot of Democrats, the shutdown of the schools was one
Speaker 1: thing and one thing only using the kids as hostages
Speaker 1: to get adults easier, better, lazier jobs. That's it that
Speaker 1: they're unfiable from courtesy of their taxpayer paychecks. That's what's
Speaker 1: really going about. This is Buck's first thoughts. The news
Speaker 1: you need to get through your day in forty five minutes.
Speaker 1: Make sure you subscribe on the iHeart app for wherever
Speaker 1: you get your podcasts. What should we make now of
Speaker 1: what we've seen so far and what we're going to
Speaker 1: see in this impeachment trial. I'm trying to only take
Speaker 1: the important takeaways and give them to you folks. So
Speaker 1: let's bring in our friend Ned Ryan. He's the founder
Speaker 1: of American Majority. Tell us what he's seeing. Ned. How
Speaker 1: you doing, buddy, Hey, I'm good Buck. Good to be
Speaker 1: with you. And you know, it's interesting times we live in.
Speaker 1: But I was thinking yesterday as I watched Ted lu
Speaker 1: and Eric Swalwell, you know, I guess if you're gonna
Speaker 1: have a proper circus, you've got to have a parade
Speaker 1: of clowns. And so one after one of those clowns
Speaker 1: came up, and you know it's the big lie. I mean,
Speaker 1: this is the thing Buck that I think people hope
Speaker 1: understands that all of this, neither impeachment was based in fact, right,
Speaker 1: there's no facts involved with the first one, and there's
Speaker 1: no facts really involved with this one. And it based
Speaker 1: on a big line. And you know that Democrats know
Speaker 1: it too, because they edited out three very keywords in
Speaker 1: their video peaceful and patriotic, when they were trying to
Speaker 1: to show in this video that somehow Trump incited violence
Speaker 1: and sedition and insurrection. But of course they eded out
Speaker 1: three very key words in that. It's all a big
Speaker 1: life based off them trying to pin down President Trump
Speaker 1: on on somehow inciting all of this, when in fact
Speaker 1: it wasn't insurrection at worst, it was it was a
Speaker 1: riot of some really stupid people. And again we're finding
Speaker 1: out facts. Two buck, this was premeditated people. There now
Speaker 1: is evidence that there were plans being the months ahead
Speaker 1: of time to do this at the Capitol. And in fact,
Speaker 1: we now know that those pipe hobblems were actually planning
Speaker 1: to at the DNC and the RNC the night before.
Speaker 1: So all of this is a big line. In my
Speaker 1: supposition in all of this book is it's a big
Speaker 1: lie to cover the big rig. Right, if you're if
Speaker 1: you're distracted by this, you're not focused on that Time
Speaker 1: magazine article talking about the big rig of what they
Speaker 1: actually did in twenty twenty. So this is all kind of,
Speaker 1: I think part of their plan to distract people because
Speaker 1: they're not they're never going to convict them. Tell us
Speaker 1: one more Republicans go ahead, They're going to convictim and
Speaker 1: they already said it was unconstitutional to continue on with
Speaker 1: this trial. Tell us about the the Time magazine twenty
Speaker 1: twenty article that was celebrating I mean, you're somebody who
Speaker 1: understands the inner workings of elections and what actually goes
Speaker 1: on here from messaging to ballot boxes. I mean, you're
Speaker 1: you're somebody who knows that top to bottom. What were
Speaker 1: they celebrating about how they stacked the deck in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty in favor of you know, in favor of the Democrat. Yeah, yeah, No,
Speaker 1: I would encourage people if you've not read Molly Ball's
Speaker 1: article at Time magazine about the secret campaign to save
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty elections, which, of course they demolished electoral
Speaker 1: integrity to four to five the election. Though that was
Speaker 1: one of the most curious or welliam words I've seen
Speaker 1: in recent times. They weren't rigging the election, but they
Speaker 1: were fortifying it. But it really was the big rig.
Speaker 1: It was collusion between big tech, big labor unions, Chamber
Speaker 1: of Commerce, who has always been they've always been problematic.
Speaker 1: They've always been more corporatist than capitalist. And obviously the
Speaker 1: big tech not only playing a role in basically stopping
Speaker 1: the free flow of information right censoring the New York Post,
Speaker 1: Google not really lighting some of this information that would
Speaker 1: be damaging to Joe Biden come out. And on top
Speaker 1: of that, you know, I've talked about this, some of
Speaker 1: people need to be what Mark Zuckerberg did with the
Speaker 1: Center for Tech and Civic Life, in which he dropped
Speaker 1: three hundred and fifty million into a nonprofit that then
Speaker 1: was used to pay private funds used to paid election
Speaker 1: officials in these battleground states, specifically in blue counties and
Speaker 1: blue cities, to boost the blue vote Democratic vote. I
Speaker 1: mean literally by a margin of ten to one buck.
Speaker 1: We know on Wisconsint thanks to the Amistad Project that
Speaker 1: in Wisconsint alone, the Center for techn Civic Life money
Speaker 1: was basically forty seven dollars per vote inside of blue
Speaker 1: counties and Blue cities versus more to four to seven
Speaker 1: dollars in Republican counties. So what they were doing in
Speaker 1: this Time article, and I have to tell you, when
Speaker 1: I first read it last week book, I was torn
Speaker 1: between feelings of thin completely infuriated because they completely destroyed
Speaker 1: I believe, in my mind, and are not proud of it, Americans'
Speaker 1: ability to truly self governed. Right. They're kind of done
Speaker 1: with democracy, Right, We're not going to let this happen
Speaker 1: in such a way. We're going to manipulate it and
Speaker 1: rig it to get the election results. We want to
Speaker 1: make sure that the great outsider doesn't win again. And
Speaker 1: so you start to really understand and they're proud of it,
Speaker 1: and so you're infuriated at the same time. But the
Speaker 1: thing that concerns me they only brag about these things
Speaker 1: that they think they've won. Right, people that are this
Speaker 1: braise and think they've somehow pulled it off with the
Speaker 1: American people are too stupid to understand what they actually did,
Speaker 1: or just simply not going to pay attention. So I
Speaker 1: would encourage everybody go read that Time article, and I
Speaker 1: hope you have the same feeling I did, complete completely
Speaker 1: infuriated by what they did in manipulating our twenty twenty elections.
Speaker 1: We're speaking of Ned Ryan, founder of American Majority Ned.
Speaker 1: I also have to say that it seems as this
Speaker 1: impeachment farce continues on with this in this trial this week.
Speaker 1: There are very important things that are not known publicly,
Speaker 1: and I do not believe are known by members of
Speaker 1: the Senate who are supposed to be adjudicating this whole thing.
Speaker 1: And the first one that comes to mind is how
Speaker 1: is it that we were told? And I I am
Speaker 1: somebody who fell into this category, we were told something
Speaker 1: as straightforward as a police officer was beaten to death
Speaker 1: with a fire extinguisher. That was the report, right given,
Speaker 1: given the violence. There was violence involving cops. They did
Speaker 1: hit them, and you know, there were there were scuffles
Speaker 1: and there was assaults on officers. But we were told
Speaker 1: that somebody was beaten to death with a fire extinguisher,
Speaker 1: or at least it was hey with a fire extinguisher
Speaker 1: and died as there was the injury. And now it's
Speaker 1: quite clear that that is not what happened. How could
Speaker 1: we have I mean, that has been the singular. That
Speaker 1: was the murder that was supposed to be the basis
Speaker 1: of the violent insurrection narrative, because other than that, you
Speaker 1: have what's clearly a riot, you have people running around
Speaker 1: taking photos, being idiots, breaking the law. Should be punished,
Speaker 1: no question, But it seems pretty important that we get
Speaker 1: the officer sick nick story correct. But yeah, we don't
Speaker 1: have it. We don't know, no, And I think I
Speaker 1: would encourage people to read two articles that have been
Speaker 1: done on this very specific topic. One is Julie Kelly's
Speaker 1: An American Greatness. I believe it either in yesterday or
Speaker 1: the day before, but Julie Kelly An American Greatness and
Speaker 1: it Revolverknews Darren Beatty. I'm not sure if Darren with
Speaker 1: the actual author of it, but there's another good piece
Speaker 1: on this that Revolver News about the exact same issue
Speaker 1: in which this was pushed. This was you know, this
Speaker 1: officer setting it was beaten to death with a fire extinguisher.
Speaker 1: This is murder. And now they're realizing, yeah, that those
Speaker 1: aren't really the facts. There's a lot of questions about that.
Speaker 1: There are a lot of questions about obviously the premeditation,
Speaker 1: the FBI's knowledge of this. Apparently they knew it beforehand.
Speaker 1: You know, Mark Meadows came out the other day and
Speaker 1: said Trump realized that with that many people in DC
Speaker 1: and a lot of people coming in, that we should
Speaker 1: have more National Guard. You've made a request to have
Speaker 1: more National Guard in the city before January sixth. Mayor
Speaker 1: Bowser said no, I mean, there's a lot of different
Speaker 1: details that need to be addressed and understood. But again
Speaker 1: again I go back to my earlier point. Neither of
Speaker 1: these impeachments or the trials had anything to do with
Speaker 1: Fox and the ultimate purpose, and I wrote about this
Speaker 1: at American Greatness yesterday, is to basically say that any
Speaker 1: descent to our narrative, any descent to our status quote,
Speaker 1: to our system, will not be tolerated. We will punish
Speaker 1: you financially, your reputation, We will shut you down. Now,
Speaker 1: dissence is not patriotic. In fact, it's seditious, and it's
Speaker 1: your insurrectionist and in fact you're even a domestic terrorist.
Speaker 1: Descent will not be allowed. And how dare you question us?
Speaker 1: But the other thing too, Buck really quick that that's
Speaker 1: kind of fascinating to me. People that really think they
Speaker 1: have one, that really feel confident about this, don't do
Speaker 1: this right. There's almost an element of fear and some
Speaker 1: of the things that they're doing, trying to get Trump
Speaker 1: disqualified from running again, trying to shut down seventy four
Speaker 1: plus a million people, and saying, you know you made
Speaker 1: a bad choice. We're going to take away your right
Speaker 1: to choose any candidate moving forward, and if you choose
Speaker 1: the wrong one, they'll they'll be consequences for you. But
Speaker 1: there's almost this element of fear of what they're doing
Speaker 1: because I don't know how confident they really actually feel,
Speaker 1: because they really had to do a lot of things
Speaker 1: to kind of rig to get the results they wanted to,
Speaker 1: and it doesn't feel like they're terribly confident in their
Speaker 1: position right now. I mean, that's at least one of
Speaker 1: my thoughts. Ned. I also think that everyone should should
Speaker 1: be aware. In my estimation what's going on here is
Speaker 1: that they're they're setting a net narrative of events with
Speaker 1: this Senate trial that is actually, in many ways more
Speaker 1: more to create the basis for steps that have nothing
Speaker 1: to do with this right, to create the basis for
Speaker 1: enhanced counter terrorism based surveillance of Trump supporters, to create
Speaker 1: a narrative of of of kicking people off of social
Speaker 1: media who are Trump supporters because of violence policies, and
Speaker 1: that that essentially this what the what the the Democrats
Speaker 1: Senate is doing right now, or Democrats on the Senator
Speaker 1: doing right now, is creating the excuse for the abuse
Speaker 1: of Trump supporters that's going to occur in the rest
Speaker 1: of society. And they're going to point to this trial
Speaker 1: and say, see, those were the facts presented. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: I think we're in a very dangerous period in American
Speaker 1: politics in which they are trying to, for all intents
Speaker 1: and purposes, dehumanize a very significant percentage of population. Right
Speaker 1: if you can say these people were insurrectionists, they're domestic terrorists,
Speaker 1: they're Unamerican. If you can say that and actually convince
Speaker 1: enough of the American people, we'll maybe they're right, Maybe
Speaker 1: these people are very dangerous. Well, then it lays the
Speaker 1: ground for work. You'd be able to justify what you're
Speaker 1: going to do next, you know, and be able to
Speaker 1: punish them, whether it's censored them, whether you know it's
Speaker 1: it's concerning you don't even really want to think about
Speaker 1: where they're headed. But I know this is the first
Speaker 1: step in a very dangerous path. If you want to
Speaker 1: be able to do certain things to people. You have
Speaker 1: to first dehumanize them, and then once you dehumanize them
Speaker 1: in a certain segment of the population's eyes, you can
Speaker 1: do whatever you want to them. Moving forward, deeply troubling,
Speaker 1: deeply concerning Ned. Ryan is a founder of American Majority
Speaker 1: and Ned to that end. You're a guy who is
Speaker 1: in the political trenches and you're trying to actually organize
Speaker 1: and mobilize people for constitutionalism, conservatism. What do we do now?
Speaker 1: I keep getting this question, and it's one that I
Speaker 1: think there's no single answer. It's really an evolving answers
Speaker 1: as more situations arise here. But what do we say
Speaker 1: to people right now who are feeling exactly what I
Speaker 1: think you and I are, which is that this is
Speaker 1: a precarious moment in American politics? How do we go forward? Well,
Speaker 1: first of all, I think people need to fully understand
Speaker 1: what they did last year, and one of our big
Speaker 1: projects with American Majority this year is Electoral Integrity Project,
Speaker 1: in which we're going to be spelling out here's what
Speaker 1: they did in twenty twenty, using the Time article, using
Speaker 1: the Honest Dead Projects Report, using some of our other
Speaker 1: research that we pulled together to really explain to people,
Speaker 1: here's what happened in twenty twenty. We can never let
Speaker 1: it happen again. Right with universal mail in ballots, you know,
Speaker 1: twice as many absentee ballots cast this time around than
Speaker 1: there were in twenty sixteen, a lot of questions about
Speaker 1: the validity of a lot of those votes. So explain
Speaker 1: to people what took place, and then reform items. And
Speaker 1: I'm telling people what you need to be focused on
Speaker 1: over the next eighteen months, because I really do feel
Speaker 1: this buck we've got one shot at the death star.
Speaker 1: When you see some of the things that Pelosi and
Speaker 1: these people are doing to kind of entrench some of
Speaker 1: the stuff they got away with last year and turn
Speaker 1: it into law, I think we've got one shot at it.
Speaker 1: Between now twenty twenty two. We got to do electoral reform.
Speaker 1: And there's a whole list of electoral reforms that we're
Speaker 1: going to be going through, whether it's dealing with absentee
Speaker 1: ballot laws, state legislators actually knowing their rights and you
Speaker 1: can't skirt state constitutions. We're going to try and clean
Speaker 1: voter roles, dirty day that leads to dirty elections, and
Speaker 1: then encourage people as they find out the right bills
Speaker 1: that are being pushed in these state legislatures, to actually
Speaker 1: call and lobby their elected officials on that to make
Speaker 1: sure reform happens, and at the same time to take
Speaker 1: it another step book. I think some people that are
Speaker 1: listening and people that we're going to be training moving
Speaker 1: forward this year, I'm gonna challenge you gotta run for
Speaker 1: county clerk, you gotta run for county registrar. You gotta
Speaker 1: run for these municipal level positions that have oversight into elections.
Speaker 1: Some of them might even actually end up running for
Speaker 1: Secretary of State or other positions that have to do
Speaker 1: with the electoral process. Because we cannot allow what happened
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty to take place again, because it really
Speaker 1: was hollowed out the American right to self governance. It
Speaker 1: was manipulated. Laws were broken and skirted, State constitutions were skirted,
Speaker 1: and we've got to be aware of what took place
Speaker 1: and then followed these action items and get it done
Speaker 1: before twenty twenty two. And I have to tell you,
Speaker 1: but there are twenty seven Republican governors out there. There
Speaker 1: are twenty three trifectas in which we have in the state,
Speaker 1: the governor, the state Senate, and the state House. If
Speaker 1: we do not have meaningful legislation in at least those
Speaker 1: twenty three states, you know, I'm gonna question Republicans intelligence
Speaker 1: on this issue because they have to address this, and
Speaker 1: if they don't, Republicans, I don't think they might never
Speaker 1: win a national election again, And if it gets really bad,
Speaker 1: they'll never win an election at any level inside of
Speaker 1: a battle Brown State. Ned One, last quick one for you,
Speaker 1: what do you think the former president's thoughts are on
Speaker 1: running again Donald Trump? I think the real test just
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. If he wants to be the kingmaker
Speaker 1: and really shows some political clout in twenty twenty two
Speaker 1: to pick a series of House races and Senate races
Speaker 1: and do rallies and raise money and have a huge impact, right,
Speaker 1: a huge winning percentage in twenty twenty two, I think
Speaker 1: it sets the stage for running again in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1: But for me, the twenty twenty two elections and his
Speaker 1: role in his impact on those elections really are indicative
Speaker 1: of what he'll do in twenty twenty four, Ned Ryan
Speaker 1: of American Majority, Everybody Ned always a pleasure, Thanks Budd,
