Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom hunt. Democrats are terrified of
Speaker 1: an economic rebound. Are COVID deaths overcounted? We're undercounted in states.
Speaker 1: The District of Columbia has a reopened checklist. How the
Speaker 1: media is only going to get more partisan? The Ultimate
Speaker 1: Karen video goes viral and a frisky Canadian gets on
Speaker 1: TV and gets into hot water. Coming up, this is
Speaker 1: the Buck Sexon Show, where the mission or mission is
Speaker 1: to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake,
Speaker 1: you're great American Again. The Buck Sexon Show begins analyst,
Speaker 1: he's a great guy. Now, welcome everybody to the Buck
Speaker 1: Sexton Show. I trust you had a good holiday weekend,
Speaker 1: time with friends, family, time to reflect a bit on
Speaker 1: what the weekend really means. Hopefully you're at least able
Speaker 1: to zoom call with loved ones if you weren't able
Speaker 1: to be with them. I'm increasingly intolerant of the insanity
Speaker 1: out there. I increasingly find myself unable to excuse the
Speaker 1: extreme fearmongering that's still going on, especially as I walk
Speaker 1: around and see people who are as I did yesterday
Speaker 1: here in New York City, I took a stroll down
Speaker 1: the Hudson River, once the most important waterway in America
Speaker 1: and the early years of our republic, and now a
Speaker 1: river that feels like doesn't get much attention. But I
Speaker 1: took a walk along it beautiful day, and there are
Speaker 1: people bicycling, jogging with masks on, jogging and bicycling with
Speaker 1: masks on. This has become absurd beyond words. There's no
Speaker 1: reason for this. And if it were just people making
Speaker 1: this decision, if it were people who decided for themselves
Speaker 1: that they were they were going to take this step,
Speaker 1: that's fine. But you are expected to do this as well.
Speaker 1: You're expected to do this. There's a video that went
Speaker 1: viral over the weekend of people in Staten Island, New
Speaker 1: York who saw someone in a grocery store who did
Speaker 1: not have a mask on, and instead of just going
Speaker 1: up to management, instead of saying, hey, would you mind
Speaker 1: putting on a mask? Which I also think, let's remember
Speaker 1: the chance that this person happens to be this person
Speaker 1: happens to have a viral load that is transmissible is
Speaker 1: about one less than one percent by the numbers, So
Speaker 1: you've got a person who is ninety nine percent likely
Speaker 1: to be entirely healthy, no risk to anyone who doesn't
Speaker 1: have a mask indoors. I understand businesses can request that
Speaker 1: people wear a mask, but remember it's also a state mandate,
Speaker 1: so it's not really just private businesses. This is a
Speaker 1: government mandate that private businesses have now adopted because they've
Speaker 1: been told to. So it's a little more complicated than
Speaker 1: just the free market is speaking. No, this is Cuomo.
Speaker 1: This is various governors, various officials in cities across the country.
Speaker 1: This is their decision. And this is still happening here
Speaker 1: while God bless you. Down in Texas, down in Georgia,
Speaker 1: down in Florida, people are living their lives again. Wow,
Speaker 1: what a thing that is. But there was this gathering
Speaker 1: in Stein Island, a lot of cursing, a lot of nastiness.
Speaker 1: They gathered together in a mob. They were just missing
Speaker 1: the torches and the pitchforks, screaming at this person, you know,
Speaker 1: to get out of you know, get the bleep out
Speaker 1: of here, and bleep this and bleep that. And look,
Speaker 1: it was stann Island, so people are going to have
Speaker 1: the salty language. But they were yelling and saying you
Speaker 1: must leave right away. And that was the gentle way
Speaker 1: of saying it. And I see this, and I just
Speaker 1: I'm angry because of this mob mentality that has shown up.
Speaker 1: And it's also a reminder that this is this is
Speaker 1: not voluntary, right, this is now all being driven by fear,
Speaker 1: by paranoia, by government mandate. Cases are going down dramatically.
Speaker 1: They have gone down. I mean the point now in
Speaker 1: New York, the worst place in the whole country for
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen, we're at APLE a couple of hundred new
Speaker 1: hospital admissions a day. We were at a few thousand,
Speaker 1: so we're at a tiny fraction of where we were.
Speaker 1: And yet somehow people are more terrified than ever because
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, if we reopen, then we're all gonna die. No,
Speaker 1: it turns out we're not all going to die from this,
Speaker 1: well we are, I mean, as I am find of
Speaker 1: pointing out, we are in fact all going to die,
Speaker 1: which those of us on the right, and I will
Speaker 1: just say it, people that tend to have a connection
Speaker 1: to the religious and the spiritual, I think perhaps are
Speaker 1: more accepting of this end state that we are all
Speaker 1: going to at least when it comes to how it
Speaker 1: affects their perception of public policy. You know, a lot
Speaker 1: a lot of left wing socialist atheist types like, oh
Speaker 1: my gosh, the state, we'll protect us. Nope, no, we're
Speaker 1: actually all going to die. But we're not all going
Speaker 1: to die from COVID nineteen. In fact, a very small
Speaker 1: percentage of us will. And it is a manageable public
Speaker 1: health problem now, the same way that other diseases out
Speaker 1: there that have killed in the aggregate far more people.
Speaker 1: You know, if we only end up having one season
Speaker 1: of COVID nineteen, let's remember, then our yearly toll for
Speaker 1: the last ten years or for the next ten years
Speaker 1: from flu will will dwarf, the will far exceed the
Speaker 1: number of people that have died from this, assuming that
Speaker 1: it's a one year count. But we'll have to see,
Speaker 1: we'll have to see. But this is now going to
Speaker 1: be a debate that stretches into not just the fall,
Speaker 1: but how many how many times our public health authorities
Speaker 1: going to make these kinds of proclamations, even when they've
Speaker 1: been wrong, wrong, and wrong again. I see that Texas,
Speaker 1: for example, I mentioned Texas before they had on I
Speaker 1: believe it was Memorial Day, the governor tweeted out they've
Speaker 1: had the fewest fatality since the end of March, the
Speaker 1: fewest COVID hospitalization since the middle of April, and the
Speaker 1: second most recoveries from COVID in America, and yet in
Speaker 1: other places in Blue States, people are still even more
Speaker 1: scared now than they were a few weeks ago. Numbers
Speaker 1: are going down, cases are going down. It's clear from
Speaker 1: serology testing that you have probably thirty million people in
Speaker 1: this country have been infected with this. That's the best
Speaker 1: that's the best estimate they have now, but it's based
Speaker 1: on real data. So you know, close to ten percent
Speaker 1: of the US population has either been in or head
Speaker 1: antibodies to this, and it could be more. But that
Speaker 1: doesn't somehow affect the Democrat perception that this is in
Speaker 1: fact much less horrific. It's still terrible. We've lost so
Speaker 1: many people. I saw the New York Times front page
Speaker 1: a few days ago over one hundred thousand dead from this.
Speaker 1: And I know that there's some back and forth on
Speaker 1: the count, but whether it's eighty thousand or one hundred
Speaker 1: and twenty thousand, it's far too many people who have
Speaker 1: died from this. It's a horrible tragedy, but we do
Speaker 1: suffer tragedies as a society. This can whether it's war
Speaker 1: or disease. We're lucky we haven't suffered famine. Although keep
Speaker 1: shutting down the economy indefinitely and keep doing this, and
Speaker 1: who knows what will happen to the food supply in time.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's going to be a problem right now,
Speaker 1: but you can't keep doing this shutdown thing. This has
Speaker 1: been this look. The shutdown was the universal shutdown was
Speaker 1: the wrong move. It was the wrong choice, and you're
Speaker 1: going to have a fight about this that stretches not
Speaker 1: just through this election, but stretches on for years, for
Speaker 1: decades to come, because this is not the last time
Speaker 1: we will be faced with this situation of a rapidly
Speaker 1: spreading and fatal question of how fatal disease? Right? We
Speaker 1: thought it was much more fatal in the early stages
Speaker 1: of this, but somehow we've made it through the gauntlet.
Speaker 1: We're trying to take our lives back. The President is
Speaker 1: calling it a transition to greatness that we are about
Speaker 1: to have as long as we can all go forward
Speaker 1: as a country. And there are still people who are
Speaker 1: holding back and certainly seem to be rooting for failure.
Speaker 1: I don't know how else one could describe it. And
Speaker 1: there is a piece in Politico, left wing site, but
Speaker 1: occasionally some smart writing a piece and Politico called the
Speaker 1: general action scenario that Democrats are dreading. And this is
Speaker 1: putting into writing, This is letting us know what many
Speaker 1: of us have been saying all along. We used to
Speaker 1: be shoutowed down for this, even though it's obvious. And
Speaker 1: that is the Democrats through a combination of their belief
Speaker 1: in the overweening, overwhelming state, their desire to use this
Speaker 1: as an opportunity to push us further closer to socialism,
Speaker 1: and their sense that the state will protect you, and
Speaker 1: their unwillingness to accept personal risk, and the fear mentality
Speaker 1: that grips the left more than the right, not entirely,
Speaker 1: but more than the right when it comes to matters
Speaker 1: like this, and of course what the economy means for
Speaker 1: the election. All these things are intertwined. But we know
Speaker 1: that there is a large segment of the political and
Speaker 1: ideological left that recognizes that if there's a recovery, if
Speaker 1: there's even the beginning of a real recovery, a return
Speaker 1: to optimism and a return to normalcy, things are going
Speaker 1: to be much harder for Joe Biden. So this is
Speaker 1: what we've been saying. We've known this right that Democrats
Speaker 1: have been slow rolling this that behind closed doors, you know,
Speaker 1: top strategists, this one being a top economist in the
Speaker 1: Obama administration. They're now coming forward with this not because
Speaker 1: they want to be honest about it, that's see, this
Speaker 1: is why this is why you know there's some truth
Speaker 1: to it, but because they want the Democrat messaging to
Speaker 1: reflect this possibility. They're trying to get ahead of this,
Speaker 1: which is that if we reopen and if the virus
Speaker 1: is not nearly as bad in the rebound as people
Speaker 1: have been assuming for the last few months, which looks
Speaker 1: very It looks like we're going to have a strong summer,
Speaker 1: my friends. The only thing that will prevent it, it's
Speaker 1: not the virus. It's the stupidity of our public officials.
Speaker 1: And I tell you, when the President promised me last
Speaker 1: week in the Oval office was a real moment. You know,
Speaker 1: he went out in Michigan. I don't think he had
Speaker 1: made this promise to anybody before he told me, and
Speaker 1: then he went out. Now I could be wrong on that,
Speaker 1: but I this is the one thing I wanted to
Speaker 1: use my opportunity. Well, we talked about a few things,
Speaker 1: but those were off the record, the important stuff. But
Speaker 1: the one thing that I knew i could say that
Speaker 1: I wanted to get him on the record was that
Speaker 1: they'll never do this lockdown, that the federal level will
Speaker 1: never do this lockdown again. And people say, oh, but
Speaker 1: it's not up to him. Well, if states think that
Speaker 1: they're going to just trample on the constitutional rights and individuals,
Speaker 1: guess what. The DOJ has a lot of lawyers and
Speaker 1: endless resources. You know, it's a very different environment for
Speaker 1: some of these governors if they're going to get dragged
Speaker 1: into federal court right away. Now, I'm not saying we're
Speaker 1: always gonna win. All you need is an Obama or
Speaker 1: a Clinton judge, and sometimes even a Bush or a
Speaker 1: Trump's judges are the best. Actually Trump's judges are the best.
Speaker 1: But you know, a Bush judge even will let you
Speaker 1: down on this stuff and decide to rule with the
Speaker 1: leftist mob instead of the rule of law. But it's
Speaker 1: a different situation. The federal government is committed to preventing
Speaker 1: a second shutdown, and the President promised me that, and
Speaker 1: then he went out in Michigan the next day said
Speaker 1: it to the national press, and I probably should have
Speaker 1: made a bigger deal out of it when he told me,
Speaker 1: But I wanted to tell all of you first, no
Speaker 1: second shutdown. Here's the problem for Democrats. There's no second shutdown. Well,
Speaker 1: then what does the economy start to look like in
Speaker 1: in August, September, October. It's definitely going to be better
Speaker 1: than it is right now if we reopened and we
Speaker 1: don't go back into the shutdown turtle in the shell
Speaker 1: posture that we've had recently, which I think is not
Speaker 1: supported by the facts in the day. At this point,
Speaker 1: it was not the right move we've had. We've had
Speaker 1: a horrific sacrifice here of our elderly in nursing homes,
Speaker 1: elderly care facilities, the single most important thing for the government.
Speaker 1: And to get right here in terms of protecting life
Speaker 1: at the state level, they got wrong. This is a
Speaker 1: state thing, it's not really a federal thing. They got
Speaker 1: it wrong in New York, in New Jersey, place after place.
Speaker 1: But remember, the Democrats are first and foremost power obsessed.
Speaker 1: The left is power obsessed more than any principle, more
Speaker 1: than any specific outcome. They want to be in charge.
Speaker 1: They want to be in charge of you. And with that,
Speaker 1: I now look at how this plays out for them.
Speaker 1: And you have this piece in Politico that's saying, if
Speaker 1: there's the beginning of an economic recovery, we are going
Speaker 1: to be in really bad shape because it's going to
Speaker 1: look like Trump can just tell the American people give
Speaker 1: you more time, guys, we're back in action. That economy
Speaker 1: you had in twenty nineteen, it's coming back in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty one. Why do a big shift to Joe Biden
Speaker 1: when we're in the right direction. Now we all know
Speaker 1: that this was in external virus. We all know, so
Speaker 1: they're going to have to prepare for that. But now
Speaker 1: this gets us into which path to the Democrats push
Speaker 1: for to extend the pain of the lockdowns we have.
Speaker 1: We have breadlines, food lines here in New York City,
Speaker 1: still thousands of people in them day in and day out, thousands.
Speaker 1: Democrats don't care. They care so much about the poor,
Speaker 1: not the people who can't feed themselves because of the
Speaker 1: moronic continuation of these lockdowns. But oh, they care about
Speaker 1: the poor so much. No, what they care about right
Speaker 1: now is defeating Trump and the economy going poorly for
Speaker 1: as long as possible. Being suppressed and stifled as long
Speaker 1: as possible is clearly in the Democrat Party's interests, and
Speaker 1: they are taking action based upon it. The numbers no
Speaker 1: longer justify the economic shutdowns we have in these states.
Speaker 1: You might say, well, buck, what about the governors. Don't
Speaker 1: they want don't they want things to come back? No? No No,
Speaker 1: no no. They're holding their economy's hostage to a federal
Speaker 1: ail out. At this point, they feel like they can
Speaker 1: just blame their federal government and all the shortfalls in
Speaker 1: their budgets for the few months we've had here, and
Speaker 1: then a few months ahead, federal government, Uncle Sam's going
Speaker 1: to write them a check and they get to be
Speaker 1: heroes and they get to say they saved lives, even
Speaker 1: in places like New York, which has been a textbookcase
Speaker 1: of bureaucratic and elected political leaders ineptitude, stupidity, and covering
Speaker 1: their butts when things get really bad. That's what's happened here.
Speaker 1: We need to reopen this country, but we need to
Speaker 1: do it with an urgency that recognizes not only the
Speaker 1: pain and suffering that people across this country have because
Speaker 1: of the shutdown, but also understands the political dynamics, the
Speaker 1: implications here of what the Democrats, what the left are
Speaker 1: really rooting for, and what's in their interest. They have
Speaker 1: to keep this suppressed as long as they can because
Speaker 1: they know that even a minimal a minimal v recovery
Speaker 1: or just the beginnings of what is clear economic strength.
Speaker 1: I mean here, they're saying that there's the possibility that quote,
Speaker 1: we are about to see the best economic data we've
Speaker 1: seen in the history of the country in the third
Speaker 1: quarter of this year. This is a former Obama administration
Speaker 1: economist now professor at Harvard. He's saying, watch out, guys,
Speaker 1: the Trump economy may come back, which we all know
Speaker 1: would be fabulous for this country, including the idiot libs
Speaker 1: who hate Trump, amazing for this country, and they don't
Speaker 1: want that to happen. They'd rather be in power than
Speaker 1: have all of us prosper. You're in the Freedom Hunt.
Speaker 1: This is the Buck Sex and Show podcast. There's only
Speaker 1: one set of numbers, right. This is not pick your
Speaker 1: numbers here. We have statewide criteria. They are the same
Speaker 1: all across the state, and we know where we are
Speaker 1: on each of those criterion on any given day, and
Speaker 1: they're posted on the website. So we all there's one
Speaker 1: set of numbers. We all know the numbers. The question
Speaker 1: is at what point do the numbers drop to the
Speaker 1: reopening threshold. Now people can speculate, people can guess. I
Speaker 1: think next week, I think two weeks, I think a month.
Speaker 1: I'm out of that business because we all failed at
Speaker 1: that business. Right, all the early national experts, here's my
Speaker 1: projection model, here's my projection model. They were all wrong.
Speaker 1: They're all wrong, indeed. But notice what happens here. Projections
Speaker 1: were universally, it seems, shouted at all of us as
Speaker 1: the justification for locking us down. But now when it
Speaker 1: comes to projections to get as unlocked we let's not
Speaker 1: make any projections here. Let's not use the numbers. Let's
Speaker 1: not commit to two weeks from now. Let's see where
Speaker 1: we are. Let's see where we are. That wasn't what
Speaker 1: we were told at the beginning of this. Now you
Speaker 1: could say, buckle, don't we want to learn from our mistakes? No,
Speaker 1: I think it's more than that. I don't think they
Speaker 1: want to learn from their mistakes, particularly in this regard.
Speaker 1: They were happy to use the fearmongering models to get
Speaker 1: what they wanted, which was this lockdown across the country,
Speaker 1: because it keeps the public officials from having to bear
Speaker 1: the responsibility in their minds, Oh, it's been taken out
Speaker 1: of my hands. We'll just do this. But now that
Speaker 1: it comes to reopening, drag their feet can't look at
Speaker 1: the projections. Drag their feet can't look at the projections.
Speaker 1: Quite a coincidence. Thanks for listening to The Bus Sesson
Speaker 1: Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the iHeartRadio app,
Speaker 1: or wherever you get your podcasts. Why you wouldn't use
Speaker 1: it it there's no legitimate rational explanation. Well, I don't
Speaker 1: like the way it looks. You know what, paint something
Speaker 1: on the mask, right, get a new color. You know,
Speaker 1: you can get a designer mask. It's such a the opposition,
Speaker 1: it's so trivial and nonsensical relative to the risk you
Speaker 1: could get sick. You could make somebody else sick. Even
Speaker 1: if you think you're a superman or superwoman, you could
Speaker 1: bring the virus home and get someone sick and it
Speaker 1: winds up killing them. So it's just it's not smart.
Speaker 1: It's not smart. My colleague Melissa the Rosa I said
Speaker 1: yesterday it was stupid. That's another way of saying not smart,
Speaker 1: sort of the hyper New York way of saying that
Speaker 1: takes less words, not smart, stupid. Well, look, let me explain, Hey,
Speaker 1: wear a mask. If you're not wearing a mask, you're
Speaker 1: being dumb. But we don't want to say dumb, so
Speaker 1: we'll call it less than smart. Why would you not
Speaker 1: wear a mask? Let me explain, if you don't wear
Speaker 1: a mask, you may be a mask murderer because you're
Speaker 1: not wearing a mask. Oh my gosh, you guys. Are
Speaker 1: all those of you who are not in New York,
Speaker 1: which I know as a vast majority of you are,
Speaker 1: you are so lucky. But you know, I'm not trying
Speaker 1: to focus this on New York today for any reason
Speaker 1: other than just we're we're the worst case, the worst holdout.
Speaker 1: This shitty is in a coma right now, and you
Speaker 1: have these morons in charge with stupid metrics. We're now
Speaker 1: we're now supposed to be all clapping. Yet they've got
Speaker 1: the tracers in place, the tracing teams. If you're near
Speaker 1: someone for more than ten minutes who has COVID, they're
Speaker 1: gonna tell you you have to quarantine for two weeks.
Speaker 1: Guess what. People are gonna say, No, Then what happens.
Speaker 1: They're gonna say, I feel fine, I don't think i've
Speaker 1: got Oh, you mean, the voluntary will become compulsory. That's
Speaker 1: that's where we remember. Look at masks. The voluntary will
Speaker 1: become compulsory. The people making these decisions will say, if
Speaker 1: you're not willing to listen, you're killing people. So I'm
Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna take it out of your hands. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna make sure that you cannot kill people by not
Speaker 1: wearing a mask. Healthcare provide us wear masks for ten
Speaker 1: hours at the time. Why could you wear a mask
Speaker 1: for an hour? Why could you wear a mask for
Speaker 1: an hour? Someone tell me this, Well, the reason we
Speaker 1: can't do it is because it's dumb. The reason I'm
Speaker 1: not wearing a mask when I go outside all the
Speaker 1: time is that I'm not going to live my life
Speaker 1: with a stupid face covering that is uncomfortable because of
Speaker 1: the infinitesimal possibility that somebody may come near me, even
Speaker 1: though I've already had a COVID test last week. Whatever,
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, at what point is it too silly?
Speaker 1: Is it too dumb? What about if I was willing
Speaker 1: to get a COVID test every week for the next
Speaker 1: you know, two months, which I would. It's not that hard.
Speaker 1: I would do it if they were going to pay
Speaker 1: for it. Do I still have to wear a mask
Speaker 1: all the time? Oh well, maybe you get infected, even
Speaker 1: when you're not really supposed to get infected, you'll get
Speaker 1: in This is this is absurd, but it's political. It's political,
Speaker 1: and it's it's frustrating beyond words. And I have friends
Speaker 1: who have had their careers right now shattered by this.
Speaker 1: I know people personally very well who no longer you know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're gonna get the they're gonna get the temporary unemployment
Speaker 1: at hand. But that doesn't I mean in New York
Speaker 1: City unemployment. This doesn't. This doesn't pay anybody's bills if
Speaker 1: you live in this, if you live in any high
Speaker 1: rent the biggest problem most people have his rent to
Speaker 1: the mortgage. Right, if you live in any high rent,
Speaker 1: high mortgage place, I mean unemployment, you're not even you're
Speaker 1: not even covering your never mind you know, buying a
Speaker 1: sandwich or like downloading something off the internet, you know
Speaker 1: internet to watch on TV. You can't do any of
Speaker 1: this stuff. So what they don't understand is the restructuring
Speaker 1: of businesses that's happened, that's occurring right now means there's
Speaker 1: going to be a lot fewer jobs in some of
Speaker 1: these industries. And it's not based on anything other than
Speaker 1: trying to prepare for the possibility of more government action
Speaker 1: like this. You know, they don't want to you know that.
Speaker 1: This is why the President promising me no second shutdown
Speaker 1: last week was so important, because otherwise you're going to
Speaker 1: have You're gonna have economic pandemonium. I mean, what business
Speaker 1: could ever come back, could ever run itself effectively with
Speaker 1: this hanging over its head? Here, you know, here's doctor
Speaker 1: Burke's famous for her pronouncements from the Coronavirus Task Force
Speaker 1: briefings and her colorful scarves, which I believe are generally Ermes.
Speaker 1: Those scarves are very pricey. But here she is the
Speaker 1: man up be Airmes. I don't know, that's just the
Speaker 1: fanciest scarf company I could think of. Here she is
Speaker 1: telling us about what they're doing to get ready for
Speaker 1: the potential wave of this fall play twelve. Also, I
Speaker 1: want to be very clear to the American people, we
Speaker 1: are preparing for that potential fall issue both in PPE,
Speaker 1: which is protective devices, both in ventilators, stockpiles, and ensuring
Speaker 1: that we're really pushing on therapeutics and vaccine development so
Speaker 1: we can be ready if the virus does come back
Speaker 1: in a significant way. This I think is more than
Speaker 1: anything else that we see right now, more than any
Speaker 1: political ad or any specific set of economic numbers. This
Speaker 1: is really going to determine assuming that we can get
Speaker 1: to effectively a full reopen. And the good news is
Speaker 1: that for all the people out there we're like, oh,
Speaker 1: my gosh, they're not wearing a mask in public and
Speaker 1: open air. Oh, for all the people that are doing that,
Speaker 1: there are far more people who are saying, you know what,
Speaker 1: it's summertime. Respiratory viruses are far less of a problem
Speaker 1: in summertime. And have that's been the case, oh for
Speaker 1: the last one hundred years or so. We all know that.
Speaker 1: And so when they have a little bit of freedom,
Speaker 1: they start to operate with even greater freedom. I mean,
Speaker 1: I have friends, I have friends in some of the
Speaker 1: most open states Georgia, Texas, Florida who are saying that,
Speaker 1: you know what, the restaurants, oh, they have a capacity
Speaker 1: people are just going to restaurants now, and God, God
Speaker 1: bless them. Okay, this this is not what's the alternative,
Speaker 1: We're just gonna live in fear. Oh let's let them
Speaker 1: set up the stupid rules forever. Oh no, no, this
Speaker 1: is this is really popularized, this notion, and we'll return
Speaker 1: to it later on the show because there's this viral
Speaker 1: video of a woman who, in a sense, is being
Speaker 1: called at least the ultimate Karen. And I feel bad
Speaker 1: for a lady's name lady's named Karen right now, because
Speaker 1: it has become this term that is considered interchangeable with
Speaker 1: a person who is kind of a busybody, a snoop.
Speaker 1: You know, I want to talk to the manager. You know,
Speaker 1: that's kind of the Karen attitude out there, and it's
Speaker 1: not you people named Karen. Look, they're a I've known
Speaker 1: some very nice Karen's and any Karen's listening to this.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry your name has been appropriated culturally for this purpose,
Speaker 1: but it is. But then again, I mean, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be an uncle in the fall WHOA, which is exciting,
Speaker 1: but you know it's not going to be as exciting.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be Uncle Buck, No way, around it, no
Speaker 1: way around it. Those though that that wonderful child will
Speaker 1: grow up and at some point we'll say, hey, you're
Speaker 1: a really great uncle. Have you ever heard of this movie?
Speaker 1: Uncle Buck? And I'm just gonna have to take that
Speaker 1: one on the chin. Yep. John Candy's like the you know,
Speaker 1: the loutish, you know, immature failure launch family member anyway.
Speaker 1: But you know, so we all got we all got
Speaker 1: our cross to bear with our names. What can I
Speaker 1: tell you? So Karen's out there, I'm sorry, but your
Speaker 1: name has become this cultural touchdown now people are always
Speaker 1: talking about Karen's but this mentality that everybody, if someone's
Speaker 1: not wearing a mask, you need to act like they're
Speaker 1: You need to act like that you've caught them drunk driving.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's really what it turns and do for people.
Speaker 1: You need to act like if not for interceding, how
Speaker 1: are you not wearing a mask? Five people could die,
Speaker 1: you know, because the car spins out and smashes into
Speaker 1: people on the sidewalk or something horrible like that. No,
Speaker 1: that's not that's not reality. That's not indicative of what
Speaker 1: the real risks are at all. And I'm also very
Speaker 1: frustrated that people who are supposed to be experts about
Speaker 1: this disaster management area are just proving themselves to be
Speaker 1: completely absurd and wrong over and over again. Michael Chertoff,
Speaker 1: some of you may remember, he now runs the Chertoff Group,
Speaker 1: all these guys that get these big government jobs, then
Speaker 1: starts some consulting agency where they're really just selling their
Speaker 1: rolodex if you want another truth. For the most part,
Speaker 1: that's generally what happens. But here's Chertoff, who is advising
Speaker 1: DC's Mayor Bowser on the opening of schools. And they remember,
Speaker 1: I was just in DC last week. D C is
Speaker 1: less open than New York City right now, at least
Speaker 1: from what I could see. I was shocked. Nothing was
Speaker 1: open there. No school not schools, of course those are
Speaker 1: locked down, but no stores, restaurants. And I know that
Speaker 1: city well, so I kind of knew who might be
Speaker 1: not in business. Here's Turdoff. They're talking about where we
Speaker 1: should be with schools in DC and by association or
Speaker 1: by just the transitive property of policy which I just
Speaker 1: made up, but that's a thing now that this is
Speaker 1: the way it should be across the country for schools.
Speaker 1: Play clip producer Mark play clip one. One of the
Speaker 1: recommendations that you put forward, whether or not the mayor
Speaker 1: takes it, is not to fully reopen schools for in
Speaker 1: person learning until there is a vaccine. How would that work?
Speaker 1: What do you mean by that? Well, the idea is
Speaker 1: at least in stage one to have distance learning, have
Speaker 1: it been done remotely, but then over the next two stages,
Speaker 1: which mean that we would have basically reduced the outbreak
Speaker 1: too isolated outbreaks. During the next period of time, we
Speaker 1: would slowly begin to bring students in those entering transitional
Speaker 1: grades or needing extra instruction would come in. First, we'd
Speaker 1: make sure to maintain distancing in classrooms, to keep the
Speaker 1: collection of people in a particular classroom below a certain
Speaker 1: number like ten, to make sure the same youngsters were
Speaker 1: together throughout the day so you don't have a lot
Speaker 1: of people mixing with other groups. And then to have
Speaker 1: a present on staff people with health background and experience
Speaker 1: in case someone displays symptoms or some issue arises. And
Speaker 1: the idea would be eventually during the course of this
Speaker 1: time to basically reopen but in a very measured and
Speaker 1: deliberate way. While why we have to do it in
Speaker 1: such a measured and deliberate way. Why can't we just
Speaker 1: reopen schools after Labor Day? Kids are at almost no
Speaker 1: risk from this. They are at more risk from the
Speaker 1: flu every year. That's right. For those of you who
Speaker 1: have children, your child is at greater risk of mortality,
Speaker 1: and it's a very small risk. So I'm not trying
Speaker 1: to pray on anyone's fears here, but your child is
Speaker 1: at greater risk from the seasonal flu than they are
Speaker 1: from COVID nineteen. That's a fact. And yet we're not
Speaker 1: able to open up schools because of COVID nineteen. Now
Speaker 1: you might say, oh, what about the teachers. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, first of all, we should be doing prology
Speaker 1: testing on teachers to see who may have already been exposed,
Speaker 1: and then they won't have to worry. All of the
Speaker 1: recent studies are showing that there are antibodies to this
Speaker 1: if you are exposed or if you have a low
Speaker 1: level infection. The big study out now on healthcare workers. Yes,
Speaker 1: the ones who had low grade infections, they do have antibodies.
Speaker 1: So there's going to be some percentage of teachers who
Speaker 1: are able to go back because there are at no
Speaker 1: real risk from infection. There's going to be some percentage
Speaker 1: of teachers who are young enough. A lot of particularly
Speaker 1: primary school teachers are young enough that they're you know,
Speaker 1: if someone told me that my job was to teach
Speaker 1: what I go back to school in the fall. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: US producer Mark wants to go back to the studio
Speaker 1: because he likes the studio. So I sit here and
Speaker 1: I'm saying, okay, well, you know, at some point we'll
Speaker 1: go back to the studio. He's not scared, he's not
Speaker 1: worried about what's going to happen in the fall. And
Speaker 1: you know this is this is the mentor people want
Speaker 1: to go about their lives. They want to engage in
Speaker 1: their careers and their professions and understand that, within reason,
Speaker 1: there are risks that they should be willing to take.
Speaker 1: So I just think this is wrong. Here's what Mike
Speaker 1: Pence and I understand, Like parents are very understanding, be
Speaker 1: very cautious about their kids. It's not the kids where
Speaker 1: we should be even a little bit worried about with
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen as an infection issue, as a they can't
Speaker 1: go to school issue, it's a big problem. But for
Speaker 1: the adults it should be manageable. And you know, maybe
Speaker 1: a lot of these administrators and people that are getting
Speaker 1: paid to be in the school system for reasons that
Speaker 1: have nothing to do with teaching. Maybe they work remotely,
Speaker 1: maybe they stay home. Maybe you know, we ask teachers,
Speaker 1: maybe teachers get a little additional pay for you need
Speaker 1: in person instruction for these kids. Okay, you can't have
Speaker 1: everybody just zooming from home. We're not set up for it.
Speaker 1: It's not real homeschooling, as we've discussed. It's like triage homeschooling.
Speaker 1: And here's what Vice President Pence as saying about how
Speaker 1: we're going to get kids back to school. Plicklipate to
Speaker 1: produce useful information about about how we can bring back
Speaker 1: our schools, how we can bring back summer camps, how
Speaker 1: we can go back to churches and synagogues and mosques
Speaker 1: and enjoy in a safe and responsible way our freedoms
Speaker 1: of religion. So we're working very closely with university presidents
Speaker 1: around the country over the last several weeks. We'll be
Speaker 1: welcoming them to the White House soon. And we have
Speaker 1: every confidence. So whether it be our universities around the country,
Speaker 1: or whether it be a primary and secondary education that
Speaker 1: we're in most areas of the country, we're going to
Speaker 1: be able to get kids back to school in a
Speaker 1: safe and responsible way. Yeah, we need to get kids
Speaker 1: back into school. They're at very little risk from this disease,
Speaker 1: and anybody who's paying attention to the numbers knows that.
Speaker 1: And children need to be able to see their peers
Speaker 1: and to learn and to be out in the world.
Speaker 1: It is. It is horrible what we've done to kids. Here.
Speaker 1: The real risk and we'll return to this, The real
Speaker 1: risk from this disease all along was to the elderly
Speaker 1: and to people in nursing homes, and that is the
Speaker 1: single area where there has been the least amount of
Speaker 1: preventative measures taken commensurate with the threat. They've they've fallen
Speaker 1: down on this in ways that are just it's just appalling.
Speaker 1: And now they're going to try to find all these
Speaker 1: other people to blame. Reopen this country now, send kids
Speaker 1: to school in the fall. I think they should be
Speaker 1: talking about opening up summer prone. Look, we're writing trillion
Speaker 1: dollars checks like it's going out of style, you know.
Speaker 1: I think some school districts that we should consider, and
Speaker 1: maybe if you need some federal funds for it. I
Speaker 1: don't know whatever, but let kids. Let kids go to
Speaker 1: summer camp. And if you're not going to go to
Speaker 1: summer camp, open up schools and let kids do some
Speaker 1: additional learning in person. Give them a place to go
Speaker 1: that's not locked down in their homes in sweltering apartments
Speaker 1: in major cities. You're in the freedom hunt. This is
Speaker 1: the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Yeah, the governor has discriminated
Speaker 1: against churches and mosque and against synagogues because we as
Speaker 1: a church have a First Amendment right, and he has
Speaker 1: chosen to say Walmart, grocery stores, liquor stores, they can
Speaker 1: be open the whole entire time, and very directly, they're
Speaker 1: not doing it nearly as safe as our churches doing it,
Speaker 1: and so he has decided it according to whatever his
Speaker 1: guidelines are. That no one really knows for what is
Speaker 1: essential or not church is essential. Our people are New
Speaker 1: Jersey citizens. You're a Jersey girl. You know all about
Speaker 1: people loving their state, and here it is, as Jersey
Speaker 1: citizens they're being told their church is not essential. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I understand a lot of people don't understand why it's
Speaker 1: so important to us, But as believers, we assemble together.
Speaker 1: And these people have discouragement and depression and problems, including
Speaker 1: economic problems. They want to be with their pastors and
Speaker 1: they are doing it as best we possibly can. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is a critical point here from Pastor Charles Clark
Speaker 1: the Third in New Jersey. First of all, the hostility
Speaker 1: that the left wing lockdowners have had to religion from
Speaker 1: the beginning of this, it's just appalling, right, Oh, you
Speaker 1: can't do outdoor church. Oh you can't do drive in church. Oh,
Speaker 1: you know, and taking people's license plate numbers down because
Speaker 1: they're gathering for church. I mean, they forget, like, you know,
Speaker 1: I just I'm more familiar with the early history of Christianity,
Speaker 1: for example, than any other religion. People are willing to
Speaker 1: take a lot of risk for their faith. People are
Speaker 1: willing to do a lot to celebrate the Eucharist. You know,
Speaker 1: someone coughing on them is not going to stop a
Speaker 1: lot of people from deciding that they're going to go
Speaker 1: and do that. But also at this point, to lock
Speaker 1: people in their homes, to ruin millions and millions, tens
Speaker 1: of millions of jobs, and bar them from their religious community,
Speaker 1: it's just cruel that it's wrong. Thanks for listening to
Speaker 1: The bus Essen Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts,
Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. There's
Speaker 1: no politics here. I can say that, but was still
Speaker 1: in an election year and people are still playing politics,
Speaker 1: and this is a hyperpartisan environment to the extent people
Speaker 1: want to politicize this issue, and Republicans are saying, well,
Speaker 1: new York did this. New York followed the president's agencies guidance,
Speaker 1: so that the politicizes it. What New York did was
Speaker 1: follow what the Republican administration said to do. That's not
Speaker 1: my attempt to politicize it. It's my attempt to depoliticize it.
Speaker 1: So don't criticize the state for following the president's policy.
Speaker 1: This is very political, and again this is true in
Speaker 1: many states across the country. But the disaster of the
Speaker 1: COVID response when it comes to our nursing homes is
Speaker 1: not something that anyone can ignore, is not something that
Speaker 1: anyone can just assume was somehow inevitable. It's horrific. It's
Speaker 1: really horrific beyond words. And as we look at the
Speaker 1: decisions that were made, they can now blame the federal government,
Speaker 1: which of course they are doing, and that's what Cuomo
Speaker 1: is doing here. But let's remember that the governors have
Speaker 1: claimed all along that they don't have to that this
Speaker 1: is up to them, that they don't have to do
Speaker 1: what the federal government tells them to about this, that
Speaker 1: this is under their own police and quarantine powers. So
Speaker 1: when they want the authority to do what they want,
Speaker 1: they claim it. And when they want an escape patch
Speaker 1: for poor decision making that has had terrible consequences, then
Speaker 1: they also just make that claim. You may be familiar
Speaker 1: with the term to decimate. Decimate is to take a
Speaker 1: tenth of and there is a well, there's a course.
Speaker 1: To take a tenth of is something that you might
Speaker 1: think of in the context of tithing, and the word
Speaker 1: decimatis taking a tenth of Latin medieval Latin. But it
Speaker 1: was also a punishment that was instituted in Rome. It
Speaker 1: was a punishment for mutiny, for cowardice, and what they
Speaker 1: would do is take one out of ten soldiers, and
Speaker 1: in front of the other soldiers, one out of ten
Speaker 1: would be usually bastinadoed, beaten to death. Horrible, but Roman,
Speaker 1: the Roman legions were a very intense and brutal place,
Speaker 1: and we have this word decimation that is used much
Speaker 1: more freely put aside decimatis and the punishment of taking
Speaker 1: one out of ten in a unit. In Roman, it
Speaker 1: wasn't usually the whole legion, but it would have been
Speaker 1: a smaller military grouping and they would kill one out
Speaker 1: of ten people. We often use, you know, to decimate
Speaker 1: just means to destroy or hurt really badly. But the
Speaker 1: the usual or the traditional meaning is to take a
Speaker 1: tenth of and it has been used throughout history. And
Speaker 1: I bring this up just because this moment in time
Speaker 1: is one of those is one of those rare instances
Speaker 1: where the original usage of the term decimate is correct.
Speaker 1: In New Jersey, the disaster in the nursing homes has
Speaker 1: been so terrible that they that almost a tenth of
Speaker 1: the entire nursing home population has died from COVID nineteen
Speaker 1: it's over nine percent. So just if you round it
Speaker 1: up a bit, you get to a true decimation of
Speaker 1: the nursing home population in New Jersey. These aren't people
Speaker 1: who are our moms and dads, grandmas and grandpa's brothers, sisters,
Speaker 1: loved ones. These are people who are veterans. Are people
Speaker 1: who spend decades working in this country for this country,
Speaker 1: you know, paying their taxes, obeying the law. I mean,
Speaker 1: there are people that they they all along have been
Speaker 1: engaged in this social compact with America, you know, as
Speaker 1: as citizens, people who have been doing their part and
Speaker 1: now in their in their golden years, and they were
Speaker 1: entrusted into our care collectively speaking, meaning the care of
Speaker 1: these facilities, but also the state regulators and um and
Speaker 1: the various officials and people who are involved in making
Speaker 1: sure that these facilities are safe and that we're doing
Speaker 1: everything we can to protect our seniors. Remember the seniors,
Speaker 1: a lot of them there is they're not able to
Speaker 1: go flee there, you know, they're they're not able to
Speaker 1: go to some second home somewhere like a lot of
Speaker 1: people in some of these blue state enclaves did when
Speaker 1: when things got badly, they're stuck in this nursing home
Speaker 1: and they entrusted their their safety and their security to
Speaker 1: us as a nation. And it is very clear at
Speaker 1: this point that we failed them. And I just bring
Speaker 1: I bring this up for many is one is just
Speaker 1: we should be aware of this death toll. And as
Speaker 1: because you're being told to trust the government are being
Speaker 1: told the government knows what it's doing, and listen to
Speaker 1: the experts. How many, really prominent How many times did
Speaker 1: you hear doctor Fauci stand up in front of America
Speaker 1: and say, hey, everybody, we got a five alarm fire
Speaker 1: that's about to break out with this virus in our
Speaker 1: nursing homes, and you know we should have you know,
Speaker 1: you know, the two priorities for PPE and for all
Speaker 1: the things that we've got need to be frontline medical
Speaker 1: workers and anyone involved at a nursing home facility. That's
Speaker 1: where we should be focused. Did you ever, I never,
Speaker 1: I cannot remember once hearing with any urgency. You know,
Speaker 1: we hear all this stuff about to put on a
Speaker 1: mask or else do what we say flatten the curve.
Speaker 1: Social distancing saves lives. Did you hear anyone say, hey,
Speaker 1: we have to have and all out effort, especially as
Speaker 1: this thing was really ramping up and getting towards the peak.
Speaker 1: We've long since passed the peak. We are through the
Speaker 1: worst of this virus. And some people just they don't
Speaker 1: want to look wrong and dumb, so they want to
Speaker 1: admit that. But did you hear any of these experts
Speaker 1: raising the alarm about this. I watched so many hours
Speaker 1: of press conferences, so many hours of people that all
Speaker 1: they're supposed to do is give us the best advice
Speaker 1: on this. What do they have to share? What do
Speaker 1: they say about nursing homes? If in fact the federal
Speaker 1: guidance was as stupid as what Cuomo was claiming it was,
Speaker 1: and then the governors were dumb enough to go along
Speaker 1: with it instead of objecting to it and doing what
Speaker 1: was necessary to save them. They care so much about
Speaker 1: saving lives, and you know, if it saves one life.
Speaker 1: Cuomo used to always say, what about the five thousand
Speaker 1: plus people who died in nursing homes on his watch?
Speaker 1: Not talking about him as a presidential candidate anymore, are we?
Speaker 1: But they if it was as bad as they say
Speaker 1: it is, Let's remember that it's because of the projections
Speaker 1: that the so called experts were making the IHM models
Speaker 1: out of Washington University from the Institute for Health Metrics
Speaker 1: and Evaluation, supported by funded by the Bill and Melinda
Speaker 1: Gates Foundation. That became the principal set of numbers that
Speaker 1: we were using here. And what did we learn from
Speaker 1: that principal set of numbers? We're going to have overwhelmed hospitals.
Speaker 1: We came nowhere close in ninety nine percent of the
Speaker 1: country to overwhelmed hospitals, and here in New York, quite honestly,
Speaker 1: and never really got that close either. Right. We were
Speaker 1: told that it would, but those models, those projections were
Speaker 1: so wrong, and if you question them, you were a
Speaker 1: bad person. Maybe if we had been allowed to question
Speaker 1: the numbers without being shouted down and told, oh, you know,
Speaker 1: you're not you're not a scientists, you're not a doctor.
Speaker 1: You don't know, really, well, what are the assumptions built
Speaker 1: into this model? Are these models as fantastic? Is the say,
Speaker 1: climate change models, which are laughable in their inaccuracy in
Speaker 1: the scope of what is an acceptable margin of error? Laughable? No, No,
Speaker 1: honest person who's not ideologically invested would see them and
Speaker 1: say anything else. But we couldn't have that conversation. We
Speaker 1: were told, shut up, peasant, go inside or else. You
Speaker 1: don't care about people dying. And meanwhile a lot of
Speaker 1: people were dying. But they were dying because the models
Speaker 1: told us the hospitals were going to be overwhelmed, and
Speaker 1: so in nursing homes the decision was made, Hey, we
Speaker 1: got to get people out of the hospital and into
Speaker 1: the nursing home as quickly as possible to free up
Speaker 1: hospital beds. So you see the shutdown of debate and
Speaker 1: discussion around this that occurred, let's say six seven weeks ago,
Speaker 1: the shutdown of free expression around this issue, the shouts,
Speaker 1: the squeals and screams from the people in the media.
Speaker 1: You're not an expert, Really, what did the experts do
Speaker 1: about this? What should have been done about this? I mean,
Speaker 1: we should have had no one to bring to seed
Speaker 1: the virus into nursing homes. Was the single most reckless
Speaker 1: thing that you could do. Because here's the number you
Speaker 1: need to know. And I give a hat tip to
Speaker 1: my friend O vic Roy for pulling this data together.
Speaker 1: He says, COVID nineteen nursing home fatalities, the latest data.
Speaker 1: This was as a Friday. Nursing homes and assisted living
Speaker 1: facilities now represent forty two percent of all deaths from coronavirus,
Speaker 1: fifty two percent outside of New York State. And he
Speaker 1: has a map, and the map is stunning. In New Hampshire,
Speaker 1: sixty nine sixty nine percent of deaths in nursing homes
Speaker 1: in Pennsylvania seventy percent of deaths in nursing homes, seventy
Speaker 1: percent of overall deaths from the virus in nursing homes
Speaker 1: in Minnesota eighty one percent, in Washington State sixty one percent,
Speaker 1: in Oregon fifty nine percent, in Idaho fifty six percent,
Speaker 1: Kentucky fifty six percent, Virginia sixty two percent, Rhode Island
Speaker 1: seventy seven percent, Massachusetts sixty one percent. That's of all faytuities.
Speaker 1: And remember that's not including people who are seniors who
Speaker 1: are at higher risk who this is just people in
Speaker 1: nursing homes. And where was this focus. Oh, the experts,
Speaker 1: they know so much. Oh, listen to them, wash your hand,
Speaker 1: social distance, put out a mask. Me doing all that
Speaker 1: stuff was a waste of time while they were yelling
Speaker 1: at me and you to do that and shutting down
Speaker 1: our businesses and telling us to lock indoors. It was
Speaker 1: policy pushed by experts at the state and perhaps even
Speaker 1: at the federal level to take people who had symptoms
Speaker 1: and still were believed to be positive for COVID nineteen
Speaker 1: and put them into nursing homes where they were certain
Speaker 1: to infect their fellow residents and kill a large number
Speaker 1: of them. Can't blame the seniors, and they're just coming
Speaker 1: out of the hospital. They're going where they're told they
Speaker 1: have to go. It was on us, It was on
Speaker 1: us to defend them, on us to protect them. And
Speaker 1: in America we failed on this. We failed. But remember this,
Speaker 1: the experts, the people that are telling you when you
Speaker 1: can and can't do this, and the ridiculous guidance sets
Speaker 1: out there about all this different stuff with the businesses reopening.
Speaker 1: These people don't know what the heck they're talking about.
Speaker 1: They've been wrong on everything and on the single most
Speaker 1: important vulnerability we had from this virus, and we should
Speaker 1: have known based on the fatalities and the median fatality
Speaker 1: from COVID nineteen in Italy, which is that was the
Speaker 1: big alarm bell for us, was what was going on
Speaker 1: in northern Italy was over eighty. We knew that. And
Speaker 1: where did they focus. They focused on emptying the schools
Speaker 1: of children because oh gosh, you know that, they just
Speaker 1: they wanted to shut down schools right away as soon
Speaker 1: as they could. And they focused on telling younger, healthier,
Speaker 1: lower risk people, wear a mask or else you're killing people,
Speaker 1: which was insane and then large numbers of people were
Speaker 1: dying in nursing homes. Don't let these don't let these
Speaker 1: lockdown clowns, these maniacs, these imbeciles like Cuomo and Deblasio
Speaker 1: and knew some and all these people. Now, look, California,
Speaker 1: we got to be fair to the numbers. California has
Speaker 1: not been hit badly by this. But they're the statism
Speaker 1: and the overwhelming impulse. They have to drag this out
Speaker 1: even longer, despite the fact that California got pretty lucky here.
Speaker 1: But these people that are pushing these lockdowns, they didn't
Speaker 1: do the single most important thing they could have done
Speaker 1: to keep people alive during this. And they're gonna tell
Speaker 1: you that, oh, we saved so many we saved so
Speaker 1: many lives. As with the lockdown, Show me that data,
Speaker 1: show me that data. It's not there yet. I don't think.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's ever going to be there. I
Speaker 1: think the lockdown, I think the disease had already reached
Speaker 1: a degree of spread where the lockdowns you will be
Speaker 1: able to make a case the lockdowns might have infected
Speaker 1: and killed even more people who are at high risk.
Speaker 1: You're in the freedom hunt. This is the buck Sexton
Speaker 1: Show podcast. Well, what am I doing. I'm fighting the
Speaker 1: deep state. I'm fighting I'm fighting the swamp. And I
Speaker 1: said I was doing it, and I'm exposing the swamp.
Speaker 1: I think if it keeps going the way I'm going,
Speaker 1: and Ratcliffe is fantastic, if it keeps going the way
Speaker 1: it's going, I have a chance to break the deep state.
Speaker 1: It's a vicious group of people. It's very bad for
Speaker 1: our country. And that's never happened before. You happened to
Speaker 1: be a victim of the deep state. I hate to
Speaker 1: tell you, whether you know it or not, but they've
Speaker 1: treated you horribly over the years, and so have they
Speaker 1: treated many other people. They never thought I was going
Speaker 1: to win, and then I won, and then they tried
Speaker 1: to get me out. That was the insurance policy. She's
Speaker 1: going to win, but just in case she doesn't win,
Speaker 1: we have an insurance policy. And now I beat him
Speaker 1: in the insurance policy. And now they're being exposed. So
Speaker 1: the President is right and has been right about the
Speaker 1: existence of a deep state. Now that's important. I know.
Speaker 1: Right now it feels a bit like, oh, well, don't
Speaker 1: we all know that? But the answer is no, we
Speaker 1: don't all know that. We don't all know that there
Speaker 1: has been this revelation because there are people who all
Speaker 1: along have been saying that there was no such thing,
Speaker 1: and they've been mocking those of us who have brought
Speaker 1: this up. And now they say that, well, it's not
Speaker 1: really a deep state. They're trying to redefine her, to
Speaker 1: call it something else, or just avoid all the revelations
Speaker 1: that we've had, avoid dealing with all the truth that
Speaker 1: has now come out about what at the DOJ, what
Speaker 1: happened at the FBI, And it's stunning. It should be
Speaker 1: stunning to anybody to see how much would effort was put,
Speaker 1: how much time was put by the most powerful law
Speaker 1: enforcement officials in the country into a case that, even
Speaker 1: before we were looking at it and going over it,
Speaker 1: in a case that was preposterous. It was just flatly observed.
Speaker 1: The whole Russia collusion thing. The fact that the FBI
Speaker 1: and the dj were spending resources in time on this
Speaker 1: just goes to show you. I mean, are they are
Speaker 1: they that lacking not just in judgment but in real
Speaker 1: work to do well? As we know, this was all
Speaker 1: about destroying Trump, and so I guess they felt like
Speaker 1: this was real work. This is what they felt they
Speaker 1: should do. In fact, I do believe that that Comy
Speaker 1: and mckaye, they're so sanctimonious and self righteous and delusional
Speaker 1: that they would if given the opportunity they well, no,
Speaker 1: they really have been. I don't even think this is
Speaker 1: a This is supposition on my part. They believe that
Speaker 1: what they did was patriotic, that that undermining the president
Speaker 1: in the way that they did attacking Really, the soft
Speaker 1: coup effort against the President of the United States that
Speaker 1: they led was because they're such good people. And the
Speaker 1: journ does the journalism Do the journalism folks out there
Speaker 1: have any sense of remorse for their role in this
Speaker 1: whole thing? And Trump has been exposed in the deep state.
Speaker 1: Remember he promised me in the oval last week, President
Speaker 1: Trump told me just wait till what's coming. So I'm
Speaker 1: expecting big things. The journalists feel, oh no, this is
Speaker 1: what they say play thirteen. This is what they say
Speaker 1: about Trump. But Joe, is it really shocking? And he
Speaker 1: did this is this is a cool, damaged human being
Speaker 1: who goes out of his way to harm people, and
Speaker 1: he goes out of his way without seeing these people.
Speaker 1: He would never utter a single negative response to any
Speaker 1: of the people that he attacked on Twitter over the weekend,
Speaker 1: if it were eye to eye contact. He is afraid
Speaker 1: of that. He is afraid of the repudiation, but he's
Speaker 1: afraid of the physicality of it. He's afraid of looking
Speaker 1: at someone in the eye and saying what he says
Speaker 1: on Twitter to them. He would never ever do that.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is just absurd. This president stood on
Speaker 1: stage against Hillary Clinton and was exactly who he always is,
Speaker 1: mocked her and all the journal supporting her to their faces.
Speaker 1: I mean what, but until they apologize for Russia Gate,
Speaker 1: none of these journalists have any credibility, any ethics, any honesty.
Speaker 1: Just remember that thanks for listening to the Bus Sesson

Speaker 1: We got our friend Sean Parnell in the house. He is,
Speaker 1: of course, a former Army ranger, author of Outlaw Platoon,
Speaker 1: and perhaps best known these days thanks to President Trump's
Speaker 1: begging doorsment for him on Twitter as a congressional candidate
Speaker 1: in a wonderful district of the great state of Pennsylvania.
Speaker 1: Mister Sean Parnell. So good to have you all, my friend,
Speaker 1: how are you. It's great to be here, Buck, It's
Speaker 1: great to be here. Thanks for having me, and tell
Speaker 1: me to tell me just a bit right now about
Speaker 1: how you guys are doing in your part of you know.
Speaker 1: And one thing I like from the guests we have
Speaker 1: from all around the country. And you know, we have
Speaker 1: some fantastic affiliates that that listen to this show in Pennsylvania.
Speaker 1: So I just want people to hear how things are
Speaker 1: because you know, everyone's kind of bubbled into wherever they
Speaker 1: are in the country right now. How are things in
Speaker 1: your your neck of the woods in Pennsylvania these days? Um,
Speaker 1: you know, tell us what's going on? Yeah, well, I
Speaker 1: mean Pennsylvanians are are resilient and Pennsylvanians are strong, but
Speaker 1: that that doesn't mean that people aren't struggling right now.
Speaker 1: You know, in the state of Pennsylvania, we have two
Speaker 1: point two million people unemployed. We've got the most unemployment
Speaker 1: claims any other state in the country. Over thirty percent
Speaker 1: of our work course is unemployed. We've got food lines
Speaker 1: in my district every single week, thousands of people and
Speaker 1: food lines. I never thought i'd see that before ever
Speaker 1: in America. I led alone in my hometown. So this
Speaker 1: pandemic has been rough on everybody. And I feel like
Speaker 1: that's why, you know, I, along with Republicans and Democrats
Speaker 1: right in Pennsylvania, are putting all sorts of pressure on
Speaker 1: the governor to allow us to reopen safety because, I mean,
Speaker 1: people's lives and livelihoods are on the line here, buck,
Speaker 1: and I mean we can't I mean, the governor just
Speaker 1: said last week that we can't read. You know, he
Speaker 1: can't see us reopening until we have a full up,
Speaker 1: full proof vaccine, and that to me is just it's
Speaker 1: just crazy and flies in the face of all the
Speaker 1: scientific data that's coming out about this virus. We don't
Speaker 1: have a choice. We have to reopen. We got to
Speaker 1: do it safely. People's lives and livelihoods are on the
Speaker 1: line here and are used to supposed to be then
Speaker 1: at the state level in a in the zone by
Speaker 1: zone or is it mostly top down just from from
Speaker 1: the capitol in Pennsylvania for you guys, you know, how
Speaker 1: how is this supposed to work? I mean, the comment
Speaker 1: that we have to wait till a vaccine is insane.
Speaker 1: But he's not the only one who said it, I know,
Speaker 1: I know. Well, so the governor on his plan is
Speaker 1: sort of a phased reopening right red being full lockdown
Speaker 1: yellow somewhere in the middle green reopening with you know,
Speaker 1: following city guidelines right now. You know, in and around
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia area is red. Most of the other areas
Speaker 1: of the state, other counties in the state are are yellow.
Speaker 1: But my issue with this color coded plan is that
Speaker 1: there's really no functional difference between red and yellow. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, salons, restaurants, uh, you know those those are
Speaker 1: all still closed, you know, So it's really the restaurant
Speaker 1: hairstyle of saland owners, uh you know, nail place, is
Speaker 1: that most of these businesses are really the truth is
Speaker 1: at risk of closing forever. And you know, if you
Speaker 1: look at the science right and what some of the
Speaker 1: UPMC University of Pittsburgh Medical Center doctors, some of the
Speaker 1: most world renowned epidemiologists are in and around the Pittsburgh area,
Speaker 1: they've all said straight up that, you know, the surge
Speaker 1: that we expected in the wake of COVID nineteen didn't happen.
Speaker 1: And most of these doctors now who again specialized and
Speaker 1: infectious disease are saying we've got to start reopening because
Speaker 1: that casualty is from an economic fallout will be far
Speaker 1: greater than the casualties and this virus could ever inflict
Speaker 1: on us. And in my worry is that we really
Speaker 1: truly are doing a generation or two's worth of economic
Speaker 1: harm to the state of Pennsylvania. You know, these people.
Speaker 1: The whole point of a lockdown, as you know, is
Speaker 1: supposed to be short lived, right to make sure to
Speaker 1: buy our healthcare systems sometime give it a level of
Speaker 1: resiliency prep or maybe overflow of the virus. But the
Speaker 1: fact is a lockdown was never meant to happen in perpetuity.
Speaker 1: And I think again, I can't stress this enough. Democrats
Speaker 1: and Republicans vote in the state of Pennsylvania are starting
Speaker 1: to push back against against this. The Governor Wolf is
Speaker 1: facing bipartisan resistance on lockdown in perpetuity and so worth
Speaker 1: fighting every day just to make sure that people in
Speaker 1: western Pennsylvania has a voice. At the end of the day,
Speaker 1: running for Congress isn't about political party. It's about representative people, right,
Speaker 1: and that's what we're trying to do. We're speaking of
Speaker 1: Sean Parnell, Buddy amine, but also importantly decorated combat veteran
Speaker 1: New York Times bestselling author and candy for the seventeenth
Speaker 1: the mighty seventeenth congressionand District of Pennsylvania. And we're certainly
Speaker 1: hoping that that's going to be something we can celebrate
Speaker 1: with him after the election occurs in November. So Sean
Speaker 1: the President stepped in to his sixty plus million Twitter
Speaker 1: followers and said, Sean Parnell, the men vote for Sean Parnell.
Speaker 1: What And I know that that now has gotten you
Speaker 1: even higher up. I'm sure on your candidate, you're rather
Speaker 1: the opposing candidate Connor Lamb's radar boo. So tell us
Speaker 1: about some of the aftermath of this and what it's
Speaker 1: been like to get not just that that that shout
Speaker 1: out from the President, but how the left is maneuvering
Speaker 1: against you. Now they must realize you're gonna be a
Speaker 1: force to be reckoned with. I mean, I already knew
Speaker 1: that obviously, but now they learn it. Buck. I gotta
Speaker 1: tell you, you know, I've known you for a long time.
Speaker 1: You know how I feel about this country, right, and
Speaker 1: I respect the office of the president, whether a Democrat
Speaker 1: sits in that office or Republican and to have the
Speaker 1: endorsement of the President or the president focused on you
Speaker 1: in any way, and the President Trump's case recognizing you know,
Speaker 1: my service and Michael Tuon service in Afghanistan. It's an
Speaker 1: unbelievable honor to have that endorsement from the commander in chief,
Speaker 1: you know Buck. Ten years ago I was I carried
Speaker 1: a rifle in Afghanistan. My platoon got shot up pretty badly.
Speaker 1: We took an eighty five percent casualty rate. I was
Speaker 1: wounded myself and was medically retired. Before my time, I
Speaker 1: intended to come into the military, lead an infantry platoon,
Speaker 1: joined the Special Forces, and try out for Delta. That
Speaker 1: was what I wanted. That was that was my dream,
Speaker 1: and it was all cut short because I got blown
Speaker 1: up in Afghanistan. I was medically retired from the military
Speaker 1: in two thousand and ten. Hey on behalf of a
Speaker 1: greatful nation seal later with next to nothing, and again
Speaker 1: a decade after that, I'm getting shout outs from the
Speaker 1: President of the United States. If that doesn't tell you
Speaker 1: how amazing this country is and that that we really
Speaker 1: truly are the land of opportunity and with hard work
Speaker 1: and perseverance. You can accomplish anything that you want. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's just my gun. It's just so cool, you know.
Speaker 1: All that said, Uh, I spent most of the Memorial
Speaker 1: Day upending off the far left and the radical left
Speaker 1: who did nothing but attack me. And do you know
Speaker 1: whether they're calling me a baby killer or a Trump
Speaker 1: boot liquor all because I said it's an honor to
Speaker 1: receive the President's endorsement. You know, Um, that's been tough.
Speaker 1: But I've I've always known that that politics, Hey, it's
Speaker 1: a contact sport. I've always said that politics's war, just
Speaker 1: without the bullets. And you know, I've taken real life
Speaker 1: black in Afghanistan and I can take this too. So Sean,
Speaker 1: what do you have to do to win against against
Speaker 1: Connor Lamb? I mean, who who? There's just I think
Speaker 1: it's interesting for folks to hear because, as you said,
Speaker 1: we've known each other now almost almost a decade. Uh
Speaker 1: And and just going going back here a bit, I'm wondering,
Speaker 1: you know where we're folk. We're going to be following
Speaker 1: your your election very closely because you're a friend of
Speaker 1: the show. What has to happen for you to be
Speaker 1: in a position to be the next Congressman from Pennsylvania seventeenth. Like,
Speaker 1: who do you have to win? Who do you have
Speaker 1: to reach out to? Yeah, it's a great question. Let
Speaker 1: me first answer it by giving some context on this district. So,
Speaker 1: Pennsylvania seventeen is the biggest swing district in the country.
Speaker 1: It's in western Pennsylvania. It's a district that President Trump
Speaker 1: won in two thousand and sixteen. It's a district that
Speaker 1: Pat two me also won. My Republican senator here in
Speaker 1: the state of Pennsylvania also won. So two very different
Speaker 1: Republicans have both been victorious in this district, and now
Speaker 1: we have a Democrat in this seat. So what it
Speaker 1: boils down to is this that President Trump wins Pennsylvania
Speaker 1: seventeen like he did in two thousand and sixteen. President
Speaker 1: Trump will win the state of Pennsylvania, and that is
Speaker 1: the fastest, most expeditious way to get him back into
Speaker 1: the White House. Right, if wins PA seventeen, he wins Pennsylvania.
Speaker 1: President Trump's back in the White House. If I win
Speaker 1: PA seventeen, the likelihood of Republican taking back the House
Speaker 1: of Representatives is extraordinarily high, and so so many I've
Speaker 1: had the vice president a month after I've gotten this
Speaker 1: in this race, come to PA seventeen and tell me
Speaker 1: twenty twenty, the battleground for twenty twenty will be waged
Speaker 1: for the war for twenty twenty will be waged here
Speaker 1: in PA seventeen. Ted Cruz also came and spoke at
Speaker 1: the Allianting County dinner and said the exact same thing.
Speaker 1: So in order for me to win this district, my
Speaker 1: strategy is just to tell the truth. You know, Connor
Speaker 1: Lamb is the kind of guy my opponent is the
Speaker 1: kind of politician that says one thing in district that
Speaker 1: he thinks everybody will want to hear, that he thinks
Speaker 1: will earn or whatever he says get some votes. He
Speaker 1: says one thing in district and does something very very
Speaker 1: different from Washington. You know, his thing is I'm a
Speaker 1: moderate independent person. Oh you know, I'm going to support
Speaker 1: the president. But the reality is he voted doing piece
Speaker 1: the president on both accounts. His first ad was carrying
Speaker 1: an AAR fifteen and said, I love the Second Amendment.
Speaker 1: I'm a Marine, I'm always going to protect your Second Amendment. Right. Well,
Speaker 1: guess what Buck is f rating from the NRA. This
Speaker 1: is a guy that traveled all around the district and
Speaker 1: said that he was pro life. In fact, I still
Speaker 1: talk to Democrats and Republicans to say, what you know,
Speaker 1: Connor Lamb's pro life. No, he voted against the Burn
Speaker 1: Alive Act twice, right, which is the most radical piece
Speaker 1: of pro pro choice legislation ever. I don't even think
Speaker 1: that's a debate between pro life and pro choice. That's
Speaker 1: a pro murder vote. You know. This is a guy
Speaker 1: that said he was going to oppose Nancy Pelosi, and
Speaker 1: while Pelosi did give him permission to not vote for
Speaker 1: her as speaker, since that vote, he's voted with her
Speaker 1: over ninety percent at the time, but at lockstep with
Speaker 1: her ever since. So in order for me to be
Speaker 1: a victorious I'm just trying to show the people that
Speaker 1: he said one thing to you to your face to
Speaker 1: win and does another thing. In Washington. He represents the
Speaker 1: most radical elements of his party. He even votes with
Speaker 1: people like Ilhan Omar over ninety percent at the time.
Speaker 1: You can't say that you're moderate and have a voting
Speaker 1: record like that. So in order for me to win,
Speaker 1: I've got to get that message out. And so that means,
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of people don't understand Buck. It's
Speaker 1: like fundraising. You know, you you've always heard the cliche,
Speaker 1: you know, campaigns and when the money runs out, Well
Speaker 1: that's that's because the lifeblood of campaign is money raised
Speaker 1: and contributed from the great citizens of this country and
Speaker 1: in the state of Pennsylvania. And right now we are
Speaker 1: solely focused on fundraising in Q two. And look, man,
Speaker 1: we are we are. We are about to seize the
Speaker 1: initiative on the political battlefield of our speaking of battlefield terms,
Speaker 1: so we're really optimistic about it. Sean Parnell, everybody, if
Speaker 1: you haven't already, go check out Sean. What's your congressional website.
Speaker 1: It's Sean for Congress dot CEO. That's nota dot com,
Speaker 1: it's dot ceo. Al right, go go check out Sean
Speaker 1: for Congress Dutch CEO. And also all of our folks
Speaker 1: in Harrisburg, WHP. You know, I know you're not right
Speaker 1: near his district there, but you guys are in Pennsylvania.
Speaker 1: So tell your your friends, your neighbors, your cousins out
Speaker 1: there in Sean's territory out in Pittsburgh, tell them they
Speaker 1: got a rally for Sean Parnell and hey man, I
Speaker 1: don't know if I buy you a stake or you
Speaker 1: buy me a stake if you win, but either way
Speaker 1: we're gonna be celebrating. So let's hope, let's hope you
Speaker 1: pull it over the finish line. I know you will.
Speaker 1: Thanks so much for joining us. Yeah you got a buck.
Speaker 1: Thank you. Take care you're in the Freedom Hunt. This
Speaker 1: is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Got a special treat
Speaker 1: for all of you. Another fantastic Joe Biden Ism. I mean,
Speaker 1: the Biden is ms keep piling up, as we know,
Speaker 1: as we knew they would. This is a guy who
Speaker 1: you know, he just just sort of likes to yale nonsense.
Speaker 1: But he's been getting away with you yelling nonsense for
Speaker 1: so many decades that people are just like, Okay, that's
Speaker 1: how Joe is. And isn't it so great? No, it's
Speaker 1: not so great. But we got a good one, a
Speaker 1: good one here from Joe. He is vowing to you
Speaker 1: that in a contest in Amano Amano between Biden and
Speaker 1: Joe Biden, Joe Biden's gonna win. Play clip two. I'm
Speaker 1: try to say that I have a record. I'm over
Speaker 1: forty years and that I'm going to beat Joe Biden.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna beat Joe Biden. Yeah he is. Hey, look
Speaker 1: Biden versus Biden. Biden can't lose. The guy's brilliant. When
Speaker 1: you think about the strategy, brilliant strategy from Joe Biden,
Speaker 1: and this is the same guy who wants stared down.
Speaker 1: Cornpop made it clear that Cornpop wasn't going to interfere
Speaker 1: with the sun getting on Biden's leg and tearing the
Speaker 1: hair blonde on his legs because you know, yeah, man Biden,
Speaker 1: it's now he does things, and now he's just say, hey,
Speaker 1: the kids want to touch the hair on my legs.
Speaker 1: It sounds creepy, but it's not because I'm Joe Biden.
Speaker 1: It's weird. He also had this. He had this. He
Speaker 1: had dark sunglasses on over the weekend and of course
Speaker 1: wearing his face mask because now we know this has
Speaker 1: all become very political. Dark glasses on and then all black,
Speaker 1: and I understand he was I think it was, you know,
Speaker 1: at a Memorial Day situations. Perhaps he's wearing black for
Speaker 1: the color of mourning. But I'm just the optics of it.
Speaker 1: This photo going around to Biden where he's got these
Speaker 1: dark glasses and this totally black face mask covering on.
Speaker 1: I mean it looks like he used to be chasing
Speaker 1: Froto around Middle Earth on horseback in his maniacal search
Speaker 1: for the one ring to rule them all. You know,
Speaker 1: it's not a not a good look. Was not a
Speaker 1: good look for for Biden. But that's not that's not
Speaker 1: surprising at all. Um and and Trump, I think, is
Speaker 1: you look, Trump's gonna have a field day with the
Speaker 1: whole Biden situation. Is it really gonna matter all? How much? Know?
Speaker 1: It's gonna entertain those of us who already think that
Speaker 1: Biden's a buffoon, and the notion that he would do
Speaker 1: such a better job than Trump is rooted in nothing
Speaker 1: other than the the wishes of the left. But I
Speaker 1: would say that it's gonna it's gonna be fun for us,
Speaker 1: those of us who already know this about Biden. What
Speaker 1: Trump has a say about Here's Trump talking about Biden
Speaker 1: play clip twenty. What do you think is Joe Biden's
Speaker 1: strongest feature as a competitor in politics? Well? I would
Speaker 1: have said experience, but he doesn't really have experienced because
Speaker 1: I don't think he remembers what he did yesterday. So
Speaker 1: how is that experience? He's been there a long time.
Speaker 1: He was never known as a smart person. Okay, what
Speaker 1: is his weakest point? I can't tell you. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm really serious, He's got many. I could talk about
Speaker 1: weak points all day long. I never like this. Oh
Speaker 1: you'd say something nice about your opponent. I don't. I
Speaker 1: don't know, I don't. I don't feel like this is
Speaker 1: something that journalists need to do. But people do it.
Speaker 1: But he's his point about how Biden's experience seems less
Speaker 1: relevant considering it's not clear that Biden would even be
Speaker 1: able to draw upon his experience because he can't remember stuff.
Speaker 1: I can't remember what he did yesterday that I think
Speaker 1: is gonna that might land even beyond Trump voters. That
Speaker 1: might land with people that are thinking, we're really going
Speaker 1: to put this guy in charge. This is why the
Speaker 1: I think the savvy Democrats recognize that they may need
Speaker 1: a messaging strategy beyond look at how bad the economy is,
Speaker 1: look at how many people died from COVID. It's all
Speaker 1: Trump's fault. They need They may need something more than that,
Speaker 1: because if COVID receides and the economy is on the upswing.
Speaker 1: Why would people that are seeing that have experienced three
Speaker 1: great years with Trump and are already seeing the change
Speaker 1: back to those great years, those who you know vote
Speaker 1: on real economic issues, for example, why would they want
Speaker 1: to trust this this Biden buffoon? Oh because the media says,
Speaker 1: so that's not going to be good enough. Thanks for
Speaker 1: listening to the bus show past. Remember to subscribe on
Speaker 1: Apple podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 1: Are we becoming a nation of schoolmarms, hall monitors, busybodies,
Speaker 1: people that are always saying they want to speak to
Speaker 1: the manager. I think the answer, unfortunately, is yes. And
Speaker 1: we have some incidents that would certainly go in the
Speaker 1: in the evidence pile for that thesis. But to walk
Speaker 1: us through some of this and to talk to us
Speaker 1: what he sees going on. Here is my friend Chadwick Moore,
Speaker 1: who joins us now. He's going to talk to us
Speaker 1: about the biggest single viral video of the weekend. He
Speaker 1: is a writer for Spectator USA. Chadwick, good sir, good
Speaker 1: to have you, hey, mister Sexton. How you doing. I'm good, Chadwick,
Speaker 1: So tell me this, my friend. Well, actually, let's first
Speaker 1: story I want people to hear no, no, you, you
Speaker 1: tell us the background story to the incident in Central
Speaker 1: Park here in Manhattan, not far at all from where
Speaker 1: I am right now, and then and then I'll play
Speaker 1: the audio so everybody can hear it. But what happened?
Speaker 1: What's with this viral video that everyone's calling kind of
Speaker 1: the the ultimate Karen and in fact saying much uglier
Speaker 1: stuff than that too, But what happened? It is the
Speaker 1: alternate Karen. It's not just one Karen. It's a story
Speaker 1: of a collision, a collision of Karen's and it just
Speaker 1: gets even deeper and uglier. So what happened is there
Speaker 1: is this woman apparently with her dog off the leash
Speaker 1: in Central Park in an area called the Rambles, which
Speaker 1: is sort of a kind of bucolic wooded area of
Speaker 1: Central Park. And man comes up who says he's a
Speaker 1: birdwatcher and tells her to put her dog on a leash,
Speaker 1: and some sort of confrontation ensues, and then he pulls
Speaker 1: out his camera and starts recording her reaction. So this
Speaker 1: man also then put on Facebook he sort of described
Speaker 1: what happened before he took his camera out, in which
Speaker 1: they got into a fight over the dog not being
Speaker 1: into on a leash, and then he said something like, well,
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna have to do take things into my
Speaker 1: own hands, and called the dog over to him and
Speaker 1: reached into his pocket for dog treats, which he said
Speaker 1: that he carries around with him for just this reason.
Speaker 1: And then she is gets on the phone to call
Speaker 1: the police, and she's really unhinged and shaking, and she
Speaker 1: grabs her dog, who's now on the leash, and the
Speaker 1: dog looks like it's choking, and then she says, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna tell the police that an African American man just
Speaker 1: threatened me, which she says twice. She made it racial
Speaker 1: for some reason, which is the main which is the
Speaker 1: main reason why this has now gone viral. And she
Speaker 1: has now since been UM. I don't know if she's
Speaker 1: fired yet, but she was put on leave from her job.
Speaker 1: She worked in finance, I believe, and she had and
Speaker 1: she had to voluntarily give up her dog to the home,
Speaker 1: to the to the shelter where she rescued it from
Speaker 1: uh and UM. And then, of course, well all that
Speaker 1: happened because a bunch of Karen's on Twitter found out
Speaker 1: her identity. They mobbed her employer and then they had
Speaker 1: to respond. So it's really just a this sort of shaming,
Speaker 1: this public shaming, this cancel culture, this this pull out
Speaker 1: your cell phone and start recording a stranger every time
Speaker 1: you you get to get into a bad interaction with
Speaker 1: them and hope that it ruins their life. Is uh,
Speaker 1: we've been this in this um in this state as
Speaker 1: a country for many many years now. Um. You know
Speaker 1: there was a woman named Justine Sako. Do you recall
Speaker 1: that case? Was I do? That was on the plane? Right?
Speaker 1: That was that was a tweet that ruined her life. Right,
Speaker 1: that was the woman who was flying to South Africa
Speaker 1: and had a layover in London and said on Twitter
Speaker 1: going to South Africa, I hope I don't get AIDS,
Speaker 1: just kidding, I'm white. And then she waits, she lands
Speaker 1: eight hours later or whatever, and she's the number one
Speaker 1: trending topic in the world, and you know, her excuse
Speaker 1: was she's making a joke about like her white privilege
Speaker 1: and blah blah blah. But of course, you know this
Speaker 1: mob had had jumped on her. Um. That was really
Speaker 1: kind of the first big case of this culture. And
Speaker 1: it hasn't disappeared. Yeah, so so let's let's play for
Speaker 1: the audience the audio and those who're watching on Pluto
Speaker 1: TV can see the video of this incident in the park.
Speaker 1: Woman had her dog off. This is what we're told.
Speaker 1: At least woman had her dog off the league in
Speaker 1: advance of the video being made. So she she freaks out.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry that I called that. She freaks out, and
Speaker 1: she says, hey, you know I you know, she calls
Speaker 1: the police. She mentions, you know, an African American man
Speaker 1: is threatening me twice. Now, I'm gonna say this clearly, Chadwick, bizarre,
Speaker 1: weirdly racist thing for her to say under the circumstances unacceptable,
Speaker 1: fair enough. I also would say, as somebody who has
Speaker 1: been entrusted with my family dog for two months, that
Speaker 1: if a stranger of any kind, any background, doesn't matter,
Speaker 1: a stranger called my dog over in any kind of
Speaker 1: a threatening fashion and was reaching into his pocket to
Speaker 1: feed it without my permission or consent, I would have
Speaker 1: things would actually escalate and get very ugly, very quickly.
Speaker 1: I don't know who this person. I don't know what
Speaker 1: they're feed. Maybe they're feeding my dog rat poison, right,
Speaker 1: I don't know, especially when you've had a tense encounter
Speaker 1: to your point about how you know that's a weird
Speaker 1: that's a weird move. Not does not justify her weird
Speaker 1: moves after it. But I feel like that hasn't gotten
Speaker 1: any as as somebody who's got a dog and as
Speaker 1: a dog, as someone who loves dogs. I don't think
Speaker 1: you call over someone else's dog and say, just wait
Speaker 1: till you see what I'm gonna do to it. That's
Speaker 1: very weird. Yeah, it was really strange, really really threatening,
Speaker 1: and you're right that the back she brought race into
Speaker 1: it was just bizarre. But she, I mean, what did
Speaker 1: she expect it? If she says African American, then a
Speaker 1: swat team's gonna parachute in, you know that that's this
Speaker 1: is This is where where it gets ugly. Where it
Speaker 1: gets ugly on her part as it seems like she's saying, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm being threatened by an African American man, you know,
Speaker 1: as if the NYPD then it's gonna you know, deploy
Speaker 1: you know, smoke grenades and the swat team right away.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it was ugly. That's ugly. What that
Speaker 1: was the part of it where she or the public.
Speaker 1: But I gotta say the part before that, I like,
Speaker 1: it's not like this guy was mining his own business
Speaker 1: and being normal. Like what he did was weird too.
Speaker 1: But then to your point also about the cancel culture
Speaker 1: part of this, this woman is now I mean, at
Speaker 1: least across the United States famous. I mean, she will
Speaker 1: be known on the internet probably forever for this one
Speaker 1: incident and not a good plight is ruined and she Yeah,
Speaker 1: the weirdly racist stuff is so uncomfortable an awful way.
Speaker 1: I mean. And also I mean, I'm gonna go out
Speaker 1: on a limb here. I don't know for sure, but
Speaker 1: I'm gonna imagine that maybe she cried an election night
Speaker 1: when Hillary lost. You know, I'm gonna like think that
Speaker 1: maybe she's not like a big Republican yep. You know,
Speaker 1: it's like I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm just gonna guess that,
Speaker 1: you know, Manhattan woman, career woman out with their dog,
Speaker 1: you know. Um, So it's it's really strange. But the
Speaker 1: bigger pictures, I'm she's who knows what she meant by that?
Speaker 1: If she was maybe I don't know, but it's almost
Speaker 1: I think the bigger story is still this cancel culture
Speaker 1: and this this is shame. There there are no good
Speaker 1: people in this story, you know. And it's like, but
Speaker 1: one person's life has been ruined, I imagine another one
Speaker 1: is getting all sorts of sympathy because of the racist
Speaker 1: attack from a white woman and uh it's um it's
Speaker 1: just such an ugly culture. And just when you think
Speaker 1: that it might kind of be going way, something like
Speaker 1: this happens and we're reminded that this is so very
Speaker 1: much where we live. You know. Um, I imagine that
Speaker 1: that journalism professors across the country or telling their students,
Speaker 1: you know, that that that that they should be recording everything.
Speaker 1: Always have your phone out, always be trying to catch
Speaker 1: someone doing something. You know, you've got this device in
Speaker 1: your pocket, that it's very powerful, and indeed it is
Speaker 1: very powerful. I mean, this woman's life is now destroyed
Speaker 1: all because of this encounter, which which we didn't even
Speaker 1: see the entire uh interaction and um yeah, the man
Speaker 1: saying that he carries dog treats around just for this
Speaker 1: specific kind of like what did he plan to do?
Speaker 1: I don't I don't understand. And so you're in the
Speaker 1: park just to um what catch people who don't have
Speaker 1: their dogs on leashes. It's just someone walks around people
Speaker 1: looking for people that have their dog off the leash
Speaker 1: so they can call them away from you with a
Speaker 1: dog treat. Um that that would on that's a weirdo
Speaker 1: move and that would unnerve me. That's that's a strange
Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, this way, I feel like if your
Speaker 1: kid ran too far ahead of you in the park
Speaker 1: and someone was standing there with an ice cream sandwich saying, oh, like,
Speaker 1: it looks like I'm in charge of the kid now,
Speaker 1: everybody would understandably completely freak out. I know this is
Speaker 1: a dog, not a human being we're talking about, but
Speaker 1: it's kind of a It's still a weird move, right
Speaker 1: Like you wouldn't give someone's kid something because they got
Speaker 1: too far ahead of them of the mom or the dad.
Speaker 1: You wouldn't give them like a treat without asking the parent.
Speaker 1: You don't. You don't feed someone's dog and bring them
Speaker 1: away from the owner. That's not cool at all. So
Speaker 1: I I mean, I'm just saying, but again, yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: the moment, the moment you started acting like a racist
Speaker 1: weirdo as a woman did now and now you're now
Speaker 1: you know your life is basically in a very tough,
Speaker 1: very tough spot. But I want to get to the
Speaker 1: other and this got less attention. But I thought, in
Speaker 1: some ways, you know, there's a whole there's a whole
Speaker 1: other layer of speaking of Chadwick more. He is a
Speaker 1: commiss respect the or USA. He lives in Brooklyn. He's
Speaker 1: like me, he's here in New York. But Chadwick. This
Speaker 1: this Canadian broadcast television on the news, they're doing some
Speaker 1: interviews about mask wearing. And here's what ended up happening.
Speaker 1: A young guy goes up to a woman who's being
Speaker 1: interviewed and you know, gives her up, gives her a
Speaker 1: big kiss on Canadian broadcast TV as they're talking about
Speaker 1: mask wearing and COVID. Here's here's how that went place. Sixteen.
Speaker 1: I feel as if mass are not one hundred percent important. Um.
Speaker 1: I feel as if a spontaneous kiss from someone that
Speaker 1: she doesn't know. Oh my god, no, I met him
Speaker 1: for a second with my dog. That's insane. All right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's having milk just minutes earlier. Okay, I mean that
Speaker 1: that's all he really so so Chadwick. I love this
Speaker 1: because any normal person would go, hey, they had talked
Speaker 1: a little bit before she's in this interview. This guy,
Speaker 1: this guy makes a move and in case it's not
Speaker 1: clear enough, I mean, look, you know, if a woman
Speaker 1: doesn't want to give you, there's a whole lot of
Speaker 1: ways that you know, she can she can make that
Speaker 1: clear m But you know she she's like blushing and
Speaker 1: goes ooh he's hot. Okay, that is that is not
Speaker 1: the response of somebody who feels violated or all. This
Speaker 1: is terrible and immediately because God Canada that all, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: we're all like male feminists, like the Prime minister, at
Speaker 1: least the Libs in Canada. I love my conservative Canadians,
Speaker 1: but the Libs in Canada have lost their minds with Trudeau.
Speaker 1: The male feminist, a male feminist with a history of
Speaker 1: wearing black face. I would note, but you know, here
Speaker 1: in and we're just like okay with this. For some reason,
Speaker 1: we're not okay with it. But they, you know, they
Speaker 1: move past it so quickly. Uh and here it is,
Speaker 1: and you know what, they start talking about sexual assault
Speaker 1: Chadwick right away, right that that's the that's the leap
Speaker 1: they make because it drives them insane. How incredibly charming
Speaker 1: and sweet it was, and the girl is so smitten afterwards,
Speaker 1: and um, I mean, wow, it's And it's also political
Speaker 1: right now, isn't it, because you know, masks have become
Speaker 1: such a political hot button issue. This this whole idea
Speaker 1: of you know, being afraid of your neighbor and staying
Speaker 1: away from strangers and everyone's gonna get you say, And
Speaker 1: here you have a guy coming up and just kissing
Speaker 1: a relative stranger and it was really sweet and charming.
Speaker 1: I think that people really needed to see that. I
Speaker 1: think that's why it's also gone viral. We're so sick
Speaker 1: of being isolated and being told that our neighbors are
Speaker 1: going to kill us with some invisible bug. And yet
Speaker 1: of course the left has to jump on this idea
Speaker 1: about consent, and well, you know, maybe this just proved
Speaker 1: this woman appears to be completely swept off her feet
Speaker 1: and utterly charmed, and maybe that just proves us an
Speaker 1: entire puritanical consent culture where you need a six page
Speaker 1: signed document before you hold someone's hand. Is people are
Speaker 1: over it, and people like these kind of more traditional,
Speaker 1: sort of valiant acts, these very a very sort of
Speaker 1: romantic spur of the moment act. And you know, that's
Speaker 1: makes it a nicer place for all. I just I
Speaker 1: also the ver very serious broadcaster who came up later
Speaker 1: on can know the doing the whole sort of broadcaster
Speaker 1: being super intense thing on CTV. Not only I mean
Speaker 1: not only were there was there immediately, Oh are you okay? Good? Heavens,
Speaker 1: a guy you think is hot just gave you a
Speaker 1: kiss and you're like swooning. She was like swooning. I
Speaker 1: mean she was gonna, oh, you know, yeah, it was
Speaker 1: really cute. Obviously, any normal person understands. And also any
Speaker 1: normal person knows that somebody who's been flirting with someone,
Speaker 1: you know, and then that person that they think is
Speaker 1: really attractive comes up and kisses them. This is like
Speaker 1: not a people dream about this. Guys, there's not a problem.
Speaker 1: But but CTV then goes you Canadian TV then has
Speaker 1: to do this. Oh, not only are they worried about
Speaker 1: the consent aspect of it, they're sorry even for airing
Speaker 1: it on TV. Play seventeen follow up on a story
Speaker 1: that aired last night on CTV News at eleven thirty
Speaker 1: and a story on social distancing. We included an interview
Speaker 1: with a woman in a park. During the interview, a
Speaker 1: stranger came up to the woman and kissed her directly
Speaker 1: on the lips. Our story then focused on the dangers
Speaker 1: of kissing a stranger on the lips during a pandemic.
Speaker 1: It was wrong to air this video. The video demonstrated
Speaker 1: non constantual behavior and downplay the fact that what occurred
Speaker 1: was simply unacceptable and offensive. It does not meet CTV
Speaker 1: News editorial standards, and we apologize. I mean, Chadwick, this
Speaker 1: guy is saying it didn't meet our editorial standards. It
Speaker 1: was unacceptable to air this kiss, clearly airing unacceptable behavior.
Speaker 1: I mean, they're like, what is wrong with these people?
Speaker 1: Were none of them ever like in high school or
Speaker 1: college dating? Have none of them ever like actually enjoyed
Speaker 1: a moment in life without wondering what the skulls the
Speaker 1: Karens on Twitter are going to say? Exactly, Yeah, And
Speaker 1: you know, Twitter is such an outside Twitter is not
Speaker 1: real life. This is what, especially if these companies need
Speaker 1: to realize, is that if you have a mob of
Speaker 1: Karen's coming after you on Twitter, that's not real life.
Speaker 1: The vast majority of people who just watched that probably
Speaker 1: at home on their television. We're probably really delighted by it,
Speaker 1: but then you know you've got the most. This is
Speaker 1: always the case, right, you know, the sort of the
Speaker 1: very tiny percent of the most unhinged and outraged and
Speaker 1: and unstable people who are typically tend to be left
Speaker 1: wing activists grab the microphone and they bully and intimidate,
Speaker 1: and these companies and in this case a news organization
Speaker 1: into um, you know, being clutching their pearls and have
Speaker 1: to issue an apology or you know, maybe people inside
Speaker 1: the news organization, some miserable person and human resources or
Speaker 1: what have you, some miserable, lonely person who wishes that
Speaker 1: she was that girl, but you know he can't have it,
Speaker 1: so UM has to to try to ruin everyone else
Speaker 1: as a joy and delight in that sweet little moment.
Speaker 1: You know, we wek You know a lot of people
Speaker 1: could use just a little more levity these days, but
Speaker 1: not on Canadian TV. There are news editorial state anyway,
Speaker 1: Chadwick who are making making the nonsensical make sense. That's
Speaker 1: what he does for us here in the Freedom Hut.
Speaker 1: Check out his columns at Spectator USA. Follow him at
Speaker 1: Chadwick Moore on Twitter. Mister Chadwick, my friend. Always a
Speaker 1: pleasure always a pleasure. Thanks again, you're in the Freedom Hid.
Speaker 1: This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. What's going to
Speaker 1: happen in New Jersey if you can't get more federal dollars. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I haven't taken my cues ever from Rick Scott, so
Speaker 1: I won't start now. But I thought Kevin was reasonable.
Speaker 1: But on this one, I have to say I'm gonna
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say time out. This is not abstract. We
Speaker 1: don't need to do a data crunch. We don't do
Speaker 1: an analysis. We announced a budget on Friday for the
Speaker 1: next four months and we had to cut or defer
Speaker 1: over five billion dollars of expenditures. And this includes potentially
Speaker 1: laying off educators, firefighters, police ems, healthcare workers. This is
Speaker 1: not abstract. This is real. It's not a Blue state issue.
Speaker 1: It's an American issue. It's not a legacy. You guys
Speaker 1: didn't manage yourselves in the past. Better That has nothing
Speaker 1: to do with this. This is about keeping those front
Speaker 1: those varying frontline workers in their jobs, doing the heroic
Speaker 1: work they're doing at our of need in the biggest
Speaker 1: healthcare crisis in the history of our country, the biggest
Speaker 1: economic crisis of the history of our country. The last
Speaker 1: thing we need to do is to lay any of
Speaker 1: those folks off and increase the unemployment rate and underserve
Speaker 1: our residents. So we need it. And it's not just
Speaker 1: New Jersey. It's not just blue states. It's American states
Speaker 1: up and down the country. Government New Jersey, they're saying,
Speaker 1: you got to have a federal bailout for the states,
Speaker 1: for all these different states. Okay, well guess what here
Speaker 1: is the opening. Here is what we need to establish.
Speaker 1: As I've been telling you that the politics of this
Speaker 1: need to be taken into account because the left is
Speaker 1: playing politics with these shutdowns. They're taking too long, they're
Speaker 1: not looking at the data and the science as much
Speaker 1: as they pretend to. If you're going to get federal
Speaker 1: bailout dollars for your state, I think the federal government
Speaker 1: should say we expect that, you know, everyone will. And
Speaker 1: now I don't know if they're willing to do this.
Speaker 1: I know the CDC still has a little too much
Speaker 1: of a grip even on this White House. It worries
Speaker 1: me sometimes doctor Fauci. Everybody's listening to Fauci. Hey, you know,
Speaker 1: I think that we got to make sure the mitigation
Speaker 1: efforts are gonna be clear going forward. All right, you
Speaker 1: know we've we've heard it. We've heard enough of fauci,
Speaker 1: I gotta wash my hands. And other than that, we
Speaker 1: don't really know anything great or wear a mask now
Speaker 1: they weren't sure originally. Social distance. That's all we really know. Okay,
Speaker 1: maybe if you're gonna demand these bailouts from the federal government,
Speaker 1: federal government should should I'm not saying will step in
Speaker 1: and say everyone's open by fourth of July weekend, come
Speaker 1: hell or high water, that's what should happen. Everyone open
Speaker 1: back to normal. How about that? I think federal government's
Speaker 1: got a lot of leverage here, folks might as well
Speaker 1: use it somehow. Thanks for listening to The Bus Sesson
Speaker 1: Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple Podcasts, the iHeart
Speaker 1: Radio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. The show
Speaker 1: ain't over yet, folks. Keeping it real, it's time for
Speaker 1: roll call. I want to get to all of Team
Speaker 1: Bucks thoughts in the roll call, but I also want
Speaker 1: to ask our friend, the one or only producer, Mark,
Speaker 1: how his long weekend was, if he enjoyed watching any
Speaker 1: particular shows. If missus Mark aka Ariel, his wife made
Speaker 1: him any delicious treats or meals. Mark, what's going on? Man?
Speaker 1: How was it? Oh? It was a fine weekend. It
Speaker 1: was nice to have a little extra time away. Although
Speaker 1: I missed you dearly of course, Yes, well you really
Speaker 1: you missed the audience. You don't have to miss me,
Speaker 1: you know, I made Yeah, when I said you, I
Speaker 1: didn't mean you. Yeah, you collected you. I get it. Yeah.
Speaker 1: It was good, you know, relaxing when grocery shopping. Would
Speaker 1: you guys make? What did we make this weekend? We
Speaker 1: did taco nine one week one one day. She made
Speaker 1: chicken fried rice my wife did that was delicious, delicious. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's pretty no, Princess and I made ginger sesame salmon
Speaker 1: filet's last night, which was really excellent and despite my
Speaker 1: efforts to try and cut back on the excess calorie.
Speaker 1: She also made her chocolate chip cookies gluten free, which
Speaker 1: are the best chocolate chip cookies I've ever had of
Speaker 1: any gluten status of any kind ever. So that that
Speaker 1: was pretty much the highlight of the weekend. Other than that,
Speaker 1: I don't even think what did I watch this weekend?
Speaker 1: We're watching a lot of billions these days. I love
Speaker 1: that show. You ever watch it? I've seen was that
Speaker 1: the one with the rock No, that's as Yeah. Also
Speaker 1: good show. Also good show, better than I thought it
Speaker 1: would be. Yeah. I watched the first season then I
Speaker 1: just kind of fizzled that on it. Yeah, that happens
Speaker 1: to me with the shows too. I gotta get back
Speaker 1: into the Americans. I kind of paused out of the
Speaker 1: Americans after two seasons. So that was that was pretty
Speaker 1: much it, and went for some long walks. It was
Speaker 1: seventy degrees yesterday, which was really nice outside. But man, everything,
Speaker 1: you know. One of my brothers went to try to
Speaker 1: go to Bear Mountain. You know that play across the
Speaker 1: Hudson State Park. Yes, and uh no, Dice cannot go.
Speaker 1: No luck lockdown because of too many people. They wouldn't
Speaker 1: let cars in because they were so packed. It's not
Speaker 1: exactly what you think of when you're talking about a
Speaker 1: trail walk, right, but no, there too many people on
Speaker 1: the trail. Yeah, they were doing that at beaches too,
Speaker 1: but I think that happens just even if they weren't
Speaker 1: doing reduced capacity. That would happen on Memorial Day weekend. Anyway.
Speaker 1: Maybe it beaches, but I feel like fair Mountain will,
Speaker 1: I guess anyway. Also, I don't like I don't like
Speaker 1: to be in places like that when there are too
Speaker 1: many people. So anyway, it is what it is. So
Speaker 1: I'm glad. You're glad you're ready and back in the fight.
Speaker 1: We got a busy week this week, Producer Mark, So
Speaker 1: bring your a game. Every week is a busy week, Buck,
Speaker 1: That's true, all right. Roll call Facebook dot com slash
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton if you want to be a part of it,
Speaker 1: or you can email us and brucer Mark will sift
Speaker 1: through and pick some of the most most insightful, pithy, eloquent,
Speaker 1: hilarious emails you send in Team Buck at ihard media
Speaker 1: dot com. And if you email in with the subject
Speaker 1: line producer Mark is the sexiest man alive, there's a
Speaker 1: decent chance that you, in fact, that that email will
Speaker 1: make its way. I'll probably just laugh at you because
Speaker 1: that's not true. Well, I'm just saying there's a good
Speaker 1: good shot it gets in the pile. Brad kicks us
Speaker 1: off here, Dear Buck. I wrote about a month ago
Speaker 1: on the status of Alaska during this pandemic, so I
Speaker 1: thought i'd write back with an update. As of this
Speaker 1: coming Friday, the state of Alaska is open for business.
Speaker 1: The Mayor of Anchorage has decided to take a little
Speaker 1: more conservative approach, but bars, restaurants, churches, libraries, and museums
Speaker 1: are allowed to operate at one hundred percent per the
Speaker 1: Governor's office. As for COVID nineteen status, Alaska just went
Speaker 1: over the four hundred mark for positive cases and has
Speaker 1: held at ten fatality since May sixth. It's not hard
Speaker 1: to tell that things are getting back to some semblance
Speaker 1: of normalcy just by viewing the traffic on the highways shields. Ye. Well, Brad,
Speaker 1: God bless and I'm so glad that I'll Alaska a
Speaker 1: beautiful state. I mean really one of the most parts
Speaker 1: of Alaska, some of the most gorgeous places I've ever seen.
Speaker 1: The natural beauty in Alaska is up there with anything
Speaker 1: you can find anywhere in the world. But I'm glad
Speaker 1: that Alaska's back in action. You can get yourself a
Speaker 1: good steak or burger, you know, and not have to
Speaker 1: go through all this nonsense. It's amazing when you think
Speaker 1: about that the whole state was shut down and only
Speaker 1: ten fatalities since May sixth. You know, I don't say
Speaker 1: this to be to be glib, but I'd be willing
Speaker 1: to bet that more people have died from falling downstairs
Speaker 1: or falling in the you know, falling in the shower
Speaker 1: since May sixth than have died from COVID nineteen. In fact,
Speaker 1: I think that's probably a pretty safe from accidents. I've
Speaker 1: got more people have died in the month of May
Speaker 1: in Alaska from accidents than have died from COVID nineteen.
Speaker 1: Although maybe we could not include some of the deep
Speaker 1: sea fishing stuff like from that show, because that stuff
Speaker 1: looks terrifying. I don't know how people do that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, you know, the like the crab fisherman guys
Speaker 1: and all that stuff that they do. I've seen that
Speaker 1: that looks dangerous, how Yeah, because that's what I mean.
Speaker 1: That stuff does look dangerous. That does look looks intense.
Speaker 1: How much money producer Mark I have to pay you
Speaker 1: to spend I think they spend like six to eight
Speaker 1: weeks on some of those some of those ships, let's
Speaker 1: say eight weeks on a crab boat off the you know,
Speaker 1: in the Bearing Sea. How much money really? Am I
Speaker 1: just on the boat or am I know you're on
Speaker 1: the deck, You're you're you're you're you're hocking crabs over
Speaker 1: the side, you're doing the whole thing. Oh, there's got
Speaker 1: to be at least seven figures in that bo that's right.
Speaker 1: Seven Except for me, it's a solid seven figures, solid
Speaker 1: probably we're talking like like MLP NBA player for a
Speaker 1: season kind of money for me to do that. No,
Speaker 1: So the guys who do it, I know, they get
Speaker 1: well paid. They make six figures, some of them, I believe,
Speaker 1: for that eight week hall, which is obviously really really
Speaker 1: good money. But they are in every they are in
Speaker 1: every petty man. I watched those shows and I'm like,
Speaker 1: oh gosh, you know, I sit there, I'm like eating
Speaker 1: my my warm chicken nuggets and and you know, drinking
Speaker 1: my ginger ale or whatever, and I'm watching these guy
Speaker 1: in my cupboard, in my snuggie, and I'm watching these
Speaker 1: guys out there in Alaska, you know, with these big
Speaker 1: crab pots or whatever, like, oh, looks cold, guys, looks cold.
Speaker 1: I don't know, it looks like we actually have a snuggie.
Speaker 1: I mean, I've got a I've got a blanket that
Speaker 1: functions like a snuggie. So you have a snuggie. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: it's it's not technically a snuggie, but it looks like
Speaker 1: a snugget. I mean, doesn't have armholes. No, no, I
Speaker 1: have to make the arm hole. So I guess it's
Speaker 1: just a blanket. But you know what I mean, Yeah,
Speaker 1: a normal thing, Sheldon Buck, Is it possibly for your
Speaker 1: Is it possible for your head to get any bigger?
Speaker 1: Asked to have a personal meeting with the leader of
Speaker 1: the free world? All joking aside, congratulations, I'm glad to
Speaker 1: see the President recognizes one of the bright minds in
Speaker 1: all of media, a well earned recognition. So when you're
Speaker 1: getting so, when are you getting your Presidential Medal of Freedom?
Speaker 1: Quick change of subject. I see all these protests and
Speaker 1: lawsuits in blue states to open up the account. Where
Speaker 1: are all the protests and lawsuits in red states to
Speaker 1: maintain the lockdown? If they think it's so important. Only
Speaker 1: places I see that argument is in the media, not
Speaker 1: from the citizens in these red states. Thanks. Uh, yeah, well,
Speaker 1: I think that they also would figure that in red
Speaker 1: states the judiciary is less likely to be activist with,
Speaker 1: you know, toward left wing ends. So that's what that's
Speaker 1: what I think you're that's probably a part of the
Speaker 1: dynamic that you're establishing here that you're you're talking about. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean blue states, Look, they should be open. This
Speaker 1: is wrong, very interesting you know today. Maybe I'll get
Speaker 1: into more of this tomorrow. But there was all this
Speaker 1: debate over oh Sweden, did Sweden do the right thing?
Speaker 1: That Sweden do the wrong thing? And people argue about
Speaker 1: this still. I mean, I think Sweden definitely did the
Speaker 1: right thing, even though there's been even as of last week,
Speaker 1: people are saying, oh, but they're per capita deaths. The
Speaker 1: health chief of Norway has said they could have can
Speaker 1: quote control infection without lockdown. This scientific backing for lockdown
Speaker 1: was not good enough, and Norway we went into lockdown.
Speaker 1: But the health chief is now saying, yeah, and we
Speaker 1: didn't have to do that. Someone someone paying her off?
Speaker 1: Is that a right wing conspiracy in Norway? The Health
Speaker 1: chief of Norway is now saying, and they had very
Speaker 1: very very few debts you know per capita from COVID nineteen,
Speaker 1: but they're saying that, you know, lockdown was not the
Speaker 1: way to go. Oh you mean that people now looking
Speaker 1: at the evidence who are experts, are coming to that conclusion.
Speaker 1: You'll never how think about what Fauci would have to say,
Speaker 1: what he'd have to admit. Yeah, we push for lockdowns
Speaker 1: which weren't necessary, which through thirty million plus people on
Speaker 1: out of their jobs, cost the economy trillions of dollars,
Speaker 1: and also put us all through hell being locked in
Speaker 1: our homes, not you know, wondering when we're able to
Speaker 1: see our relatives again, wondering what our future looks like.
Speaker 1: Are we going to have a future as a country,
Speaker 1: as an individual? Put us through all that, and now
Speaker 1: it seems like with very very weak backing and week
Speaker 1: maybe generous, he's never gonna no one whatever. Look, I
Speaker 1: actually don't blame him for this, no one whatever. Who's
Speaker 1: in that position that say, you know, we we took
Speaker 1: the mitigation, we had to do in the mitigation, so
Speaker 1: you know, this is the virus. It's spread, so we
Speaker 1: wanted to undo the spread. That's what you got, Michael Buck.
Speaker 1: So cool to hear you got called in by the
Speaker 1: big man. Feels like a close friend being recognized for
Speaker 1: his talents in the midst of tough times. It feels
Speaker 1: good to hear some of the big wins for the
Speaker 1: freedom hut shields high. Well, Michael, thank you so much. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I look, it was. It was really appreciated by me.
Speaker 1: I was great to get a chance to sit down
Speaker 1: to the present for that long and really enjoyed talking
Speaker 1: to him. John, one of my local supermarkets doesn't carry
Speaker 1: strawberry ice cream, so I need to travel further to
Speaker 1: get it, or during the pandemic switching another brand. Is
Speaker 1: this a conspiracy between in the illuminati? No, John, this
Speaker 1: is just the free market telling you that strawberry ice
Speaker 1: cream is the ice cream flavor that does not need
Speaker 1: to exist. Okay, you know, strawberry ice cream is like
Speaker 1: the Rhode Island of ice creams. Why isn't Rhode Island
Speaker 1: just a part of Connecticut or Massachusetts? I ask you.
Speaker 1: No one has a really good answer for that, do they.
Speaker 1: You know, maybe a strawberry swirl in chocolate or vanilla
Speaker 1: would make sense, but entirely strawberry flavored ice cream. We're
Speaker 1: civilized people. We don't need such things. So I'm sorry, John,
Speaker 1: you're on your own with this one. You're in the
Speaker 1: freedom hunt. This is the Buck Sex and Show podcast.
Speaker 1: All right, roll call continuing here, we have Dave or
Speaker 1: rights in. Congrats on the one on one chat with
Speaker 1: the President obvious he chooses to surround himself with thoughtful,
Speaker 1: upstanding people. It's a shame he is unfairly smeared. And
Speaker 1: more people took the time to listen to voices like
Speaker 1: yours and your listeners, this would be a much more
Speaker 1: unified country. As an early listener, I'm always happy to
Speaker 1: follow your progress and success. It's a reminder that good
Speaker 1: things happen to good people who work hard. That's what
Speaker 1: this country needs. Keep up the good work as usual.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much, Dave. I really do appreciate that.
Speaker 1: That's very kind. It's like the nicest thing anyone said
Speaker 1: all day today, so or I will hear all day
Speaker 1: so really really a kind of you. And yeah, we
Speaker 1: Mark and I. It is not an exaggeration to say
Speaker 1: we bust our butts to do this show every day
Speaker 1: and have it at the quality that it is, and
Speaker 1: we're very pleased that it's It's reflected in the growth
Speaker 1: of the show and the ratings and in so many
Speaker 1: new big markets in the last year to eighteen months
Speaker 1: that have picked us up. You know, we're We've got
Speaker 1: great stations in San Diego and in Baltimore and in Austin, Texas.
Speaker 1: And in Denver, Colorado, and out in Portland, Oregon, and
Speaker 1: in Sacramento, California KSTE. And we've got all these different
Speaker 1: stations that have either joined on or some of them
Speaker 1: been with us for a while now. And we're very fortunate.
Speaker 1: We're very lucky, but we know we got to put
Speaker 1: in the work every day. James h Let's see James
Speaker 1: great first name Buck, the Michigan governor is starting to
Speaker 1: remind me of the lady who is a teacher in
Speaker 1: Pink in the Harry Potter movie Harry Potter Movie with
Speaker 1: the Pink Cats. She is a witch. She said she
Speaker 1: is going to find the foreign plant in her state
Speaker 1: for social distancing violation when the president was there for
Speaker 1: not wearing his face mask the whole time. Shields high
Speaker 1: from w g Y. Look at that soon. By the way,
Speaker 1: if you listen on one of our affiliates, police, always
Speaker 1: feel free to put in your affiliates. We can give
Speaker 1: a little shout out to them on the air. W
Speaker 1: G Y Albany a great station. And James, I would say,
Speaker 1: I do not know the Harry Potter stuff. So prouser Mark,
Speaker 1: do you get do you catch this reference? Yes, that
Speaker 1: would be a professor Umbridge from I believe Harry Potter
Speaker 1: book number five, The Chamber of Secret. There we go.
Speaker 1: He's ready to go with it. Yeah. I still have
Speaker 1: people who try to convince me that I should read
Speaker 1: the Harry Potter books, even at this point in life.
Speaker 1: That's so good you should. Yeah. See, Producer Mark is
Speaker 1: one of them. Maybe I'll have to do it. Brad
Speaker 1: Hey Buck, I'm behind enemy lines in California and thinking
Speaker 1: about moving. They have shut down all state parks, no
Speaker 1: camping or beaches until late June, and it keeps getting
Speaker 1: pushed out. Also, our schools have been out since this
Speaker 1: all started, and my third grader has had minimal contact
Speaker 1: with her teacher. As a school fears they will lose
Speaker 1: funding if they teach outside of the guidelines. Now, with
Speaker 1: all the new CDC policies, the return in the fall
Speaker 1: is proposed to have two days a week at school
Speaker 1: and three days at home remote learning. Huh. My wife
Speaker 1: and I both work, and I've been out of work
Speaker 1: since March twelfth. If our kids don't go to school
Speaker 1: five days a week, we will be forced to pay
Speaker 1: for daycare of some sort, and we'll have to do
Speaker 1: the teacher's job after we get off work. Red States
Speaker 1: are looking more attractive by the day. Brad. Look, I
Speaker 1: was taking a peek over the weekend at just just
Speaker 1: just curious, just checking it out. I was looking at, Uh,
Speaker 1: what does what does a nice little you know, start
Speaker 1: our home go for in Austin, Texas these days? What
Speaker 1: does a nice little little place with some land in Charleston,
Speaker 1: South Carolina, or in Savannah, Georgia. What does it look
Speaker 1: like right now? Well? What kind of costs were talking
Speaker 1: about here? So I don't think you're alone, my friend.
Speaker 1: I'm here in New York, a lifelong New Yorker, and
Speaker 1: I've loved this place, even for all of its challenges
Speaker 1: and expense. But I think that this has pushed a
Speaker 1: lot of people too far in New York and in California,
Speaker 1: and now I always have to throw in Florida too,
Speaker 1: because I promised Producer Mark to Florida will be something
Speaker 1: we consider, you know. I just some of the Florida
Speaker 1: architecture is not as much my thing. That's that's the
Speaker 1: problem I have, Producer Mark. I get it. I just
Speaker 1: I like nice weather and no income tax. I can't
Speaker 1: argue with that. I can't argue with that. But you
Speaker 1: know a lot of red tiled loors in Florida, which
Speaker 1: is okay, I mean nothing you can change. Fuck, that's
Speaker 1: that's probably yeah, yeah, that's probably fair. I have to
Speaker 1: also become like a if I was close enough to
Speaker 1: the water. I like swimming at the beach, but I
Speaker 1: might have to become a boat guy too. That doesn't
Speaker 1: sound like a bad thing, Yeah no, but it would
Speaker 1: be fun. I always remember when when they went out
Speaker 1: the Marco Rubio from you know, for his boat. That
Speaker 1: was like he was living some lavish lifestyle or whatever,
Speaker 1: and I was just like, you're in Florida, man, you
Speaker 1: might as well get a boat of some kind. Even
Speaker 1: if it's a canoe or a kayak. You gotta get
Speaker 1: a boat. Bobby Buck, I got a question for you.
Speaker 1: Did your brothers start the gluten free Bread Company as
Speaker 1: a result of you having to deal with gluten free
Speaker 1: products or is it just a coincidence? That would be
Speaker 1: good brotherly love. Anyway. I listened to the show daily.
Speaker 1: I consider myself a team member, Bobby. You most certainly
Speaker 1: are a part of Team Buck. Tell producer Mark to
Speaker 1: smile for us. Oh, he smiles. Don't worry he's fine.
Speaker 1: He's having fees, having fun, don't du non't never worry
Speaker 1: about producer Mark. He's good. Um. As for my brother,
Speaker 1: he know he was gluten free before I was, so
Speaker 1: I thought that gluten free, quite honestly, was kind of
Speaker 1: a fad, a trend, and then he was a believer
Speaker 1: in it for just health purposes. And I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: lie to you, guys, I kind of made fun of
Speaker 1: him a little bit sometimes for it. I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: gluten free, why don't you move to la and get
Speaker 1: a pet therapist and drink wheat grass shots all day?
Speaker 1: And then I got diagnosed with Celiac disease maybe about
Speaker 1: two years later. So coincidence or cosmic fade or something.
Speaker 1: I don't know, you guys tell me, but yeah, I
Speaker 1: know he was gluten free first. And the product line
Speaker 1: is called Suzies. It's s O o z y and
Speaker 1: the stuff is I mean, they've got bread now and
Speaker 1: whole foods of foods. It's amazing. I mean, the donuts,
Speaker 1: the muffins, really high quality stuff. I love it. I
Speaker 1: mean I eat it every morning. And again it's my
Speaker 1: brother's company, so it's delicious and I get to support
Speaker 1: a family member that's gonna be the show for today. Team,
