Speaker 1

You're listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcast, make sure you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts. The Purge is underway, as you know, In fact, it's gaining it's gaining steam. And they'll tell you that it is for the worst elements of our society. They'll tell you that it's about getting rid of white supremacists, domestic terrorists, awful violent people, insurrectionists. But when you listen to the actual language they use,

it's much broader than that. It's really an attempt to try to smear anyone who is right of center, if they voted for Trump, if they were a part of any of the pro Trump rallies, particularly after the election, they must be evil and our institutions have to be cleansed of this. And cleansing is obviously a term that should put everyone's the hair on their arms standing up.

That's not something that we should be thinking of when we're talking about government bodies, and especially when you're looking at the military. But this is now the plain language of the Democrat Party today. You've got Joe Biden, for example, who's out there talking about white supremacy as an enemy that we must combat. And I would just say, as we look at this, we need to remember that this

is a group of people. When you're talking about actual white supremacists, it's a group of people who are marginalized and maligned all throughout society, including on the right and rightly so. But how often do we go around really

worried about flat earthers overtaking the scientific community? I mean, how often do we go around thinking that some fringe group of lunatics are really about to overthrow the United States government, or some radical, violent extremist entity from within is just days away from trying to launch some kind of a coup. There's a hysteria around this. We should all recognize that, we should see it for what it is.

And it's very concerning to me because I've been sounding the alarm about the expansion of the term white supremacy to include things that no reasonable rational person would ever say or in fact white supremacist when you use that term in the past, and you can go back to two movies in the nineties, go back to pop culture and the way we would talk about these things. If you heard of a neo Nazi or a white supremacist.

It was going to be a person who was hateful toward other races, who was vicious evil covered in Suastika's usually shaved head. You know, there are all these things, your skinheads, There are all these signifiers. And it was like a gehotist. It was a person who had become overtaken by an evil ideology and it was their heinous I mean, they're the bad guys. We all get that, the same way that any Nazi would be a bad guy, the same way that any communist is a bad guy

or jihadist. Right, these are extreme ideologies that always result in violence, authoritarianism, and destruction if they achieve power, and even if they're out of power, they can be destructive on a smaller scale. So we all understood that the white supremacy was bad. We all get that, you know the same way that we all know murder is bad.

This is a very straightforward thing. But now when you hear the terminology and when you hear the usage of this, all of a sudden, white supremacy is having too many books by white authors in a store. White supremacy, and this is how the left talks about it. I know, you hear this you say, that's crazy. White supremacy is somebody advocating against affirmative action in college admissions and pointing to how it discriminates against Asian Americans more than anyone

else in the process. White supremacy. Right, Why should we shut down a gifted and talented schools or schools for the gifted more generally that overprivileged the Asian American community. Well, it's because of the system of white supremacy we have. This is what people will say. And now we have an entire government that is latching onto this as as

the the boogeyman, so to speak. This is the evil that we are all supposed to be hiding under our beds from, or word is hiding under our bed if you think about the way the boogeyman is usually thought of, this is what we're supposed to be confronting as a society. We're in the middle of a pandemic, a double pandemic of a disease and draconian authoritarian lockdowns from the disease that do not work. If Governor Ron DeSantis says it, I can say it, censor that social media platforms. I'm

on radio. What now, Governor Rondas Santis is right. I'm right they did not work. These lockdowns were a failure. But let me get back to white supremacy here for a moment. I want to read you this isn't the Military Times, right, which you know obviously focuses on defense issues and United States Armed Services, and it's about Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin. I actually remember I was in Bagdad years ago and I was part of a briefing. He

wouldn't remember me. I was interchangeable with all the other guys walking around dressed like they were on a camping trip. What are you guys doing here? Oh? You're those guys, right, I was one of those in the war zone. But you know, I sat down, I briefed him. I remember thinking that this guy had the kind of command presence among a lot of other senior folks that he probably

had a future in politics. But I so I remember General Austin, and now Military Times writing he's now the Secretary of Defense, as you know, and he's called on quote Services to conduct a sixty day standdown on the issue of extremism in the military, prompted by the January sixth attack on the Capitol and subsequent reports of active duty and former service members attending a rally calling to overturn the twenty twenty election and the riot that ensued.

Hold on a second look, look what they This is a perfect example of what I'm talking about. We gotta do a whole standout. We've got to do a hot wash, we gotta do a after action report. We have to do a review of white nationalist or white supremacist extremism in the military. And then they when they go to describe what we're talking about here, it's people who attended

a rally to overturn the twenty twenty election. I know people who were at the rally in DC on January sixth, and they were there because they believe that there was a need for election results, for the argument over election results to be had in the United States Congress, for the presentation of evidence, and they thought that that was within this system and the right thing to do. They

really believe that there had been a stolen election. I know many people still believe that there was a stolen election. That doesn't make them white supremacists, has nothing to do with it. The same way that the Capitol Hill riot wasn't a white supremacist riot. But you see how now they take this action and some of the individuals involved and everybody who's even vaguely ideologically associated with them, including thousands and thousands of people. They estimate eight hundred people

stormed Capitol Hill. There were at least one hundred thousand people in DC on that day, So it's about one percent maybe, and I know some people say it was much larger than that. So about one percent of the people gathered actually broke the law and did something wrong. Everybody else what they did. You can disagree with how they view the election, but they are completely within their rights, and I support their right to lawfully protest and have

their voices heard in our nation's capital. This is very straightforward. This is about principle. But look what they did. They're calling here for former service members, quote attending a rally, calling to overturn the twenty twenty election. Attendance at the rally is cause for suspicion. That's all you have to do. If you win, if you engaged in lawful protest, you now if you're a former military, if you're current military, for sure, you are now somebody that maybe can't be

trusted you're an insurrectionist. This is what they say. This is what we're told. And the guidance from Austin is as follows. Quote. It wasn't able, It wasn't just a blithe go talk to your people. Of Austin's direction to the service secretaries and joy chiefs, he was very clear he wants commands to take the necessary time to speak with troops about the scope of this problem and get a sense from them about what they're seeing at their level.

Do you think that some uh, some kind of you know, wimpy left wing bureaucrat type, which they exist everywhere, There are those people, even in the military. Uh, do you do you think that they're going to see somebody with a MAGA flag over their bunk? You know? Do you think that they're going to see somebody who still, you know, thinks that the GADS didn't flag as a cool design from history and they want to and maybe they get reported.

Just give it time, Just give it time. Um. This is this is really upsetting to see because you can understand why, why this is going to get worse, Why are they doing this white supremacy in the military. Uh, this is all all of a sudden We've discovered this problem because of the January sixth riot. That's what they're saying. This is political. I've never met a white supremacist. I mean I point this out to people I have met the hottest terrorists I have met, you know, people of

other extremist ideologies. And I'm not saying there aren't white supremacists. You always have to you always have to establish these things that every sane person knows. Of course there are white supremacists. There are evil racists. Are they powerful in this country. They're the most and rightly so maligned people in all of American society. I mean, you won't be able to get a job, to rent, or buy a home, to to be on the internet. I mean, you know,

you're you're a target for everybody. You're a white supremacist, an actual white supremacist in the real sense of the term. But that's not what this is about. We've already got that problem is contained and controlled. They're they're losers. They're trying to expand the concept of white supremacy to include people who attend and by I'm reading you from this article, attended the rally on January six didn't break any laws didn't go to the capitol, but if you attended the

rally rally, you're suspect. You know, this is what authoritarian regimes do. They have to cleanse wrong thing from within major institutions like the like the military, and like the federal bureaucracy. Military Times owned poland quote has shown that, anecdotally, oh that sounds really official, more than one third of active duty troops and more than half of minority service

members have witnessed signs of white supremacy in their colleagues. Further, survey respondents ranked white nationalism as a bigger national security domestic terror as a bigger national security threat domestic than domestic terrorist groups affiliated with Islam. For instance, events of January six served as a wake up call. It's it's amazing to see this. I mean, you're telling me that, let's be very clear, because of this ideology of wokeness,

actually that's out there that sees whites. Of wokeness means white supremacy is all around us, and it's everywhere, and we have to constantly combat it. They've created this omnipresent white supremacy. As a result of that, you have service members here saying they've quote witnessed signs of white supremacy. Half of minority service members say they've seen that. Really, like what where? What counts as that? And I really mean that. I'd like to know is it who gets

promoted and who doesn't? Is that? Is that the kind of white supremacy we're talking about, because remember how the definitions expanded. Or is it somebody who actually you know, is a member of some kind of white power society and has a swastika tattoo on his knuckles. Which one is it? Because there's a whole lot of difference between those two things. But you see, this is a power This is a power move and the chilling effect on conservatism on the right in general from pretending there's this

huge threat of white supremacy that's everywhere. It's even in our military. This is a hysterical lie, but it's a very very potent one if you want to keep people fearful and if you want to make sure that you can get away with whatever mechanisms of control you decide to deploy. This is happening within our own military, and it's happening from a top down, from the Secretary of Defense. This is the Buck Sexton show podcast. Follow Buck on Facebook, Instagram,

You know I have attendant many of these prayer breakfasts over the years, with a nation of war and struggle and strife, a nation of peace and prosperity, a nation, though always in prayer. But we know this time is different. Over four hundred thousand of our fellow Americans have lost their lives to a deadly virus. Millions are out of work. We see long lines for food

at food banks that stretch for miles. We hear the call for racial justice, some four hundred years in the making, and we know the dream, and more importantly, the reality of justice for all, cannot be deferred any longer. We see the existential threat of climate crisis that poses to our planet and everywhere we turn, with more severe floods, stronger hurricanes, more intense wildfires. We just have to open our eyes. We've just witnessed images that we've never imagined,

images that now we'll never forget. A violent assault the US capital, on our assault on our democracy, on our capitol, a violent attack that threatened lives and took lives. And we know now we must confront and defeat political extremism. White supremacy and domestic terrorism, White supremacy and domestic terrorist. This is Joe Biden on a prayer breakfast. This is the national security threat defeating white supremacy and domestic terrorism. Um, okay,

what does that look like? Where is this threat? Just show me where? Where are all these white supremacists? I asked the question. I never got to answer. Where are they? But there's some some compound of brainless, toothless losers somewhere. Who are you know, thinking that there there's some kind of you know, neo Nazi cult that's going to take over America. Yeah, I mean they're they're disgusting, and everyone

hates them and they're ostracized from society. Where are the white supremacists that have infiltrated all the institutions and that are speaking openly about this and that are pushing where Well, it depends, of course, on how you define the term. And increasingly what you see is that it's defined so broadly that it can mean whatever racial justice issue the left wants to wants to really put a lot of

a lot of focus on. All of a sudden, they start using, you know, the WUS term, They start throwing it around, They start saying, oh, this is we need to dismantle systems of white supremacy. Like what where, where is this? What does it even really mean? Think about the term. I mean, it's a very Remember remember what they did with racism. Racism is bad. We all know that racism is immoral, and this is just a this

is a universal truth. Racism is immoral. They started calling everything racism back in the nineties, remember this, and they were they were actually because we had comedians then you could make jokes. They would make jokes about how everything was racist. Right. There was in the movie PCU, which is still a great watch if you want to go back and check it out. But there's a there's a group of of um, I guess you'd call it woke, you know, woke campus activists. And one of the one

of the fellows is African American. He's walking around and he's, you know, his question is why is the chalk white and why is the blackboard black? Right, I mean, this is racism and that that's one of the you know, and he goes, right, you've seen it in the movie. I mean, we used to kind of be aware that people would call things racist that's actually not racist has

nothing to do with racism. And over time that accusation, they used it so much for purposes of power right the left, the Democrats used this against any of their perceived political enemies that it started to lose its sting and started to lose its ability to put people in fear. It became just a kind of an absurdity. The accusation without any underlying truth, was just it was a smear, an obvious pathetic smear. So what they do now they've up,

Now they've gone white supremacy. Oh, let's see. That's it's even scarier that conjures up. You know, neo nazis doing violence to people based on skin color. We have to fight them right away, and we should. But that's not what they're referring to. They're they're not referring to the character you know in American history X. They're referring to college admissions that don't have awoke enough philosophy of who gets to go to the school. Well, that seems like

quite an important change in terminology, isn't it. This is the Buck Sexton Show Podcast. Join the conversation and message buck on Facebook, Instagram, or email Team Bucket iHeartMedia dot com. He may read it on the show. Yeah, this is a deliberate war against everybody whose views would be considered traditionally American. And consider they have on the Intelligence Committee somebody who the FBI has told them had a multi

year relationship with the Chinese communist spy. Now that's not really a problem, because after all, Communist China is not really a bad country. When you go down the stuff and you begin to realize these people operate in a different universe. What happened I think was the Trump scared them for the first time. They saw all of their dreams, all of their hopes to disappearing, and their reaction has

been one of ferocity, which I find frightening. I mean, I worry for anybody who's openly publicly in favor of traditional America, because you just know what the left is gonna do. They're gonna attack you, They're gonna make you suffer, They're gonna try to ruin you, try to destroy you. I mean Newt Gingrich sees it is it is now clear that there are obvious truths that you you speak at your peril whole range of issues, and the left

doesn't even really bother to make arguments anymore. Their arguments in the past were weak, but they figured if they yelled them enough, and if they control enough institutions, they'd be able to get what they want even if logic, facts, reason, and everything else wasn't on their side. That's the way that the game used to be played. Now they're just saying do this because we say so. They're not even

really telling you why you should do the thing. And I think that the Left has found in the COVID lockdown, specifically, the perfect vessel for their dream of total societal control.

They also have this with climate change. But climate change, as much as they try to force the urgency of the climate crisis and it's existential, as much as they try to convince everybody of that, well adjusted normal people are like, even if they believe in climate change, is they go, I mean, come on, it's not the world's not gonna end tomorrow. Let's catch our breath here. It's not gonna end in five years. It's not gonna end in fifty And if it ends in five hundred years,

how much do I really care? I Mean, that's that's kind of where a lot of people are on this one. How do I even know, who will even know what five hundred years from now is going to be like. But with COVID, because we have had a lot of people, a lot of older people who have died from from this respiratory virus, they were able to get the crisis and the panic and the anxiety at a level where they could begin to remake society. Mean, they could tell you how you can breathe. That's now all a part

of this too. And I've been walking you through because I know what they're gonna do. You know, they have to cover up now we saw something we said, hold on a second. Fauci says two masks are better than one, and then Auster Holmes says, actually, two masks are worse than one, and then Fauci says there's no data to support wearing two masks, And then people say, well, hold

on a second. If two masks isn't better than one, why that makes me think that maybe we got to look at this more and can we even have a discussion about this. So then Fauci has to change it up again to say, well, the CDC may soon tell people two masks are better than one. We gotta get the data, and let me tell you, they're going to come up with some bullcrap anecdotal study about you know, someone says that they were doing two and someone else said one, and it's not going to be an actual

scientific study at all. And then all of a sudden they'll make its way under the CDC website and then the CDC we all have to listen to. Has the cd he saved a lot of us? Can I just ask you think about that for a second. Has the CDC saved a lot of lives in the COVID pandemic? I mean, this is there, this is their D Day invasion, right This COVID pandemic is the CDC's moment and show us what they're why they're funded, what they're really made of.

You know what they've done. They messed up testing in the earliest days when it was absolutely essential to figure out what we were really dealing with. They completely botched testing. They've changed the guidance many many times. And ultimately what they've told this is, you know, you should probably block down and just avoid life while this virus is out there as much as you know you can stomach and or as much as other people will make you stomach

and wash your hands and wear a mask. Thanks CDC. Wow, amazing stuff from them. And here's Foucci. Though, as I've been telling you, setting the groundwork, you're gonna you're gonna start to see businesses that say one mask required, two masks preferred. It's gonna happen in the meantime. As I often get asked, should you be wearing two masks or one mask? And I say, there's no recommendation. However, there

are many people who take the common sense approach. If you're talking about a physical barrier, and as the CDC recommends, you want at least two layers within the mask as a physical barrier, and you feel maybe more of a physical barrier would be better, there's nothing wrong with people wearing two masks. I often myself wear two masks. Can

we make a general recommendation that doesn't have scientific basis yet? No, But when the science comes along and tells us that it is better or not, then you will see a recommendation being made by the CDC. They're going to manufacture something and they're going to say that the science is settled, and now we know that two masks are better than one and it's not amazing because how have they not known that all along? Ask science is so clear, We're we're figuring this out just now. No, why are we

going to the two masking? Why? Why did I know that they would say this? Go back? You know this, listen to the show? How did I know that they were going to tell us two masks and then ninety five masks are really what we need to be doing. Because the policy of mandating people wearing masks in certain situations didn't stop the damn virus. It didn't. And I know people say, oh, but what about you know, when

you're pretty through it, everything go okay. Well, people can't wear it all the time, and so there's a lot of spread that's going on all the time anyway. And if you get the virus on Wednesday but didn't get it on Tuesday, and that plays out across the whole country, what difference does it really make? But you know, they people, people are incapable of actually thinking this through for themselves.

And going back to my initial premise here about about traditional values being able to speak about these things, it is essential that we actually have a public debate about masks. I would I would love give me any blue check MD PhD. Oh, I'm doctor so and so, and I go on I go on MSNBC, and I know, love

to have a debate. And I'm just some guy, just some guy who sits around as a radio show, writes some stuff, you know, used to work for the government, used to be a little government stooge, And uh yeah, I would love to have the debate with them because I could just use reason and logic and annihilate the stupid crap that they say, like it's all it's all

so obvious that we should all be worrying about. It was so obvious that the person is now the biggest mask advocate twelve months ago was saying, come on, it doesn't really do anything. That's without She was saying, we all know it. Now, what exactly is different? They'll say, oh, we didn't know about this. No, no, no, no, no, that's all just blah blah blah blah blah. That's all nonsense.

But they won't deal with the reality here, which is that you had a panic, and you had people in patent positions of power, and you had government authorities that people were looking to to save them, and they had to tell you something and they had to tell you something that even if it didn't stop it, then the answer would be, well, you didn't do enough of the thing I told you. It's your fault. That's where we are.

And so I believe that dissent on a matter, on a matter of national importance health policy like this, that is a traditional American value. We should be able to have this conversation. We can't. We can't. Shouldn't shouldn't I be scared? Shouldn't I be concerned about the prospect of

being exposed on this issue? Yeah, have one of those blue check doctors, you know, have a debate, go on TV live and it'd be meek be Alex barnsond be any number of people to look at this issue critically and explain to me how the science tells you that it's essential that you have that mask pulled up all the time on an airplane with one hundred and fifty people on it, sitting side by side, which is what we do now. Remember how we're going to have a

separation that all fell apart. Now we just airlines need to make money. So you sit side by side and then people sit there and I'd say for at least half the flight are breathing in open air with their mask down because they're drinking, they're eating, they're doing other things. You know, people have the mask fall down below their nose. The nose is actually a major area for the spread of for the expulsion of the virus. So yeah, explain the signs to me of how that's all. But it

limits it, It limits it. I mean how much how much? If you know, if you're on a plan for four hours and everyone's breathing the breathing the air, you know, and open how much better is it with the mask on for thirty percent? Then with the rest? I mean, you get infected, you're infected. It doesn't matter how much exposure you had. It doesn't matter, you know, how long the exposure was. You're infected. You're infected. But they don't really think about it, Jo, We can't even have a

normal conversation about that. We can't have normal conversation with the left about mails playing email sports the ACL You put out a statement yesterday that said there's no advantage of men over women in sports, no advantage, and then this has shown because there are women who can still

compete against some of the men. How many videos. Do we have to see of some like six foot four guy who weighs two hundred and thirty pounds who's playing women's field hockey and as all of a sudden, the national champion and like the best in the world before we go No, I think I think there's an advantage.

I think there's an advantage. Every guy listening to this knows if you if you were a a mediocre high school male athlete, you know, a mediocre one, which is how at best I think how I described my own athletic exploits, and you would have been a probably a two or three sport All American at in NCAA women's sports. This is the truth. I mean, if you want to want an example of this, you I mean, you have

to have a certain level of proficiency. But the like men's fourteen year old national soccer team beat the best female professional soccer teams in the world. They're fourteen and beating the best women of the world. I mean, is there's no debate about this. Ah, But you see that statements even more true than I meant it to be. They don't allow you to have the debate about this

because the facts are not in debate. It's really a question of power, and they have the power to silence you and make you believe things and say things that are not true. You're in the freedom hunt. Thanks for listening to The buck Sexton Show podcast. Get the latest

The job of a leader is to take on that, to take on the grief in order to save people's jobs, to get kids back in school, and really to ultimately save a lot of lives, because I think one the virus responds is more effective when it's targeted at the vulnerable population, which we did do aggressively. But I also think we've

saved the livelihoods of so many people. Think you'll have less suicide desks, less drug abuse desks, less deaths of despair in Florida because we were open, and I think a lot of the lockdowners lost sight of that. We are less than the national average for per capita COVID mortality. Twenty five states are higher than us, and yet as you said, our unemployment rate is much less than the

national average. We have kids in school, and in December we had three hundred and thirty million dollars more in revenue than was projected because people are coming here and they understand that Florida is open at a place where they can pursue their dreams. Rohn descantists the only political hero of the entire COVID pandemic, really, the only person who has been getting it done despite all the critics, despite all the pressure. And I know I talk about

him a lot now. It's like it sounds like I'm a member of the Rohn descent and maybe the captain of the Rhond descentists fan club these days. But look, I don't know Ron, never met him, never talked to him. It's not about anything other than results. And you look at the results of his state. Maybe we could have had many other places with much better results if we were allowed to have the conversation. But to my earlier point, we're not even We're not even given the freedom to

make our case anymore. I mean, what social media companies have done about lockdowns and mask wearing is disgusting. They're a bunch of little petty moron totalitarians. And remember it's not the people who you know, the people that are all about this. They're not the ones that are you know, that that that that founded the company. Usually they're not the ones that are coming up with really complicated algorithms.

You know, they're outsourcing a lot of that stuff to other people or people on H one b V's is the little, the little totalitarians that work in these social media companies. You know, they're they're they are working in like the government relations office, they're working in the in PR and marketing, in sales and you know, the soft sciences parts of these companies. They're the ones that are yeah, you know it's the it's the English Lit majors who

work at Facebook and Google doing whatever they do. They're they're the ones that want you to be shut up. They're the ones that want you to be unable to actually have a conversation. So remember that and that there are real they are real downsize this. I mean today you had the mayor of Chicago, Lori Lightfoot, who was basically pleading with the teachers' unions like you, you're being unreasonable, this is not right. You're making kids suffer. You're supposed

to go back to school. And now think of all the people in Chicago who are going and doing their jobs. They're exposed to COVID. They they have you know, family members who are who are older and at risk, or maybe they themselves are older and at risk, but you know they're still living life. There's no risk free society, and a society that promises you that it's risk free is a nightmare. It is by definition totalitarian. It erases all freedom. If it's going to make you truly free,

it will may all of your choices for you. There are a lot of people and I think it's just deep in their brains, that's what they want, that's what they prefer. They would rather be told what to do all the time. They'd rather be told how they can live their lives. By the way, I mentioned before the debates over men and women's sports, here's brand Paul talking to the Education Secretary nominee, doctor Miguel Cardona about boys playing girls sports in high school play sixteen so you

don't have a problem. Then with boys running in the girls, track me, swimming me to name it, you're okay. Then with boys competing with girls respectfully centered, I think I answered the question. I believe schools should offer the opportunity for students to engage in extracurricular activities, even if they're transgender. I think that's their right, all right, but a lot of us think that that's bizarre. You know, I'm not

very fair. Yeah, it isn't fair, It isn't. But now it's now the left has gone beyond philosophical fallacy and they want you to to not accept what is true in the actual physical world. This isn't that they just have bad ideas that are illogical and self contradictory, though that's certainly very true of the left as well. Now it's that guy who is six is sixty three and you know, two hundred and fifty pounds, he's not necessarily going to be stronger than all all the all the

females of his same of his same age. Then no, that there might you know that there's no real advantage there. Well, then why why break up mail and female sports in general? What's the point does anyone on the left we want to try to answer that? Why do we have a men's and women's team, men's and women's teams? What's the point of it? Because you know, it's fine, there's no biological advantage. We all know this is a lie, but they insist that you accept their lie. Why, it's about

a lot more than just transgender rights. Or frans, gender sports or anything like that. It's about bend the knee or else, bend the knee on something that you know is a total fallacy. Once you've done at this time, they can get you to do at other times.

Liz Cheney has beaten back a challenge to her role in the

United States Congress on the GOP side of it. Pretty big win for her in terms of the votes. What really happened here and what is it telling us about the trajectory of the GOP. Right now, our friend Matt Schlap is back in the mix. He is the chairman of the American Conservative Union. Mister Schlap, good to have you, great to be with you, getting Buck, So what do you make of this? First of all, just for everyone listening,

how did we get here? We're all of a sudden in a Republicans are still trying to figure out what has happened with this election, and now we've got Biden's inauguration and now we're going after Liz Cheney. What did she do? Tell everybody what? In the eyes of some within her own party, her sins were, well, she voted to impeach President Trump, even though obviously he's not the president anymore, and almost everybody's reading of the Constitution is

is that this is an abuse of the Constitution. I think she was one of ten Republicans in the House to support this the most politicized impeachment we've ever seen. In almost every impeachment's pretty politicized. So a lot of anger were these Republicans who played into the politics of Nancy Pelosi. And that's really what this was. This really wasn't a question about do you like Trump? Do you not like Trump? Do you like Trump's policies? Do not

like Trump's policies? Do you like what happened on January sixth? Does what happened on January sixth make you offended? As I'm sure it does you and me and you and I talked about it on your show right around that time. It was a terrible thing. But is it really fair

to blame Trump for what happened at the Capitol? Is it really fair to blame his supporters for what happened at the Capitol, which is now what Joe Biden and the new Secretary of Defense seemed to be saying with their language or somehow, our number one danger as a

country is white supremacy and violence on the right. Of course, they say nothing about the violence on the left with Black Lives Matter and Antifa, and the fact that for a year our cities were burned to the ground and churches were burned, and statues were torn down, and statues of Jesus were desecrated, and cemeteries were desecraated. They don't mention any of that. We have more violence in this country buck because people feel like they don't have hope

within the system. So people who are into the system, especially the establishment, they should do all they can to make the Americans on both the left and the right feel like their voices heard. Instead, what the establishments doing is the opposite. They're censoring us, they're shutting us down, they're canceling us. That will not have a good result in our politics. Clearly, the people who rushed the Capitol of criminals, but they also felt desperation. We need to

pull back for people feeling desperation. That's why our founders gave us, things like the First Amendment were politically you're allowed to express yourself and that is not being allowed to happen unfortunately right now in America. Were you surprised by the results? I mean, one hundred and forty five for Liz Cheney to stay in her leadership job versus only sixty one in the House. There was a lot of no, I'm not surprised. I'm not surprised, and I

think this is being misreported. You know, I was a Hill staffer for five years. A lot of people in this town have congressional experience, but it was going to take an overwhelming vote to push Liz Cheney out of leadership.

This wasn't so much about taking a out of leadership as it was sending a message that when you're in leadership, there are just certain things you do for the cause, and if you're such an independent thinker that you can't do the right thing for the party, then you should never get a leader because part of being a leadership is sometimes you got to take votes that you disagree with because you're in a leadership position. Just like all

leadership positions, we have an organizations across the country. There's there's a cost to being a leader, and she was unwilling to pay that cost because of her animosity for President Trump. And so what's happened in the past when Republican leaders got into this much trouble, they just stepped down. Remember knew Gingridge stepped down from being Speaker when he got himself really all kind of turned around on some

ethics questions, and she was unwilling to do that. So I admire her moxy for sticking in there, but I don't think it changed the political changes the political dynamic, which is she's got a big problem within the Republican conference because they don't view her as understanding that we shouldn't play into the politics of Pelosi and Schumer, even when we're going to get a bad editorial in the New York Times, even when we have animosity or differences

with a Republican who might be the target. So Marjorie Taylor Green, she's she's the latest target of the Democrats. It really doesn't have to do with them being offended over her, which I would say very offensive social media postings from previous you know, before she was elected to serve in Congress. By the way, the voters in Georgia put her in Congress, and the voters get to decide

these questions, not Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats. But you know, she's just the latest victim of what this cancel culture. They want to cancel her before she's ever even really been allowed to show what her true feelings are as a congresswoman, how she wants to vote. If they if they can attack her and persecute her, it'll just name

the next Republican they're going to go after. Basically, what they're trying to do is make being a Republican illegal, and Republicans who play along with that to just go away because they don't know what's going on in the country. We're speaking of Matt, I'm sorry, speak to Matt schlap He's the a chairman of the American Conservative Union, and Matt Gates was leading the effort to get rid of

Liz Cheney. Do you think that they're gonna let bygones be bygones now at or is there still this struggle that we should expect to play out within GOP congressional ranks for who's really the future of the GOP in terms of policy but also in terms of leadership. Well,

we have Joe Biden saying we need to unify the country. Well, he's pursuing in his party, is pursuing impeachment, saying that we have to go after all these white nationalists, which sounds strangely like he just wants to go after Conservatives and MAGA people. It really doesn't have much to do with race at all. And now you have these strange calls for unity within the Republican ranks. To me, I'm

not very interested in unity. I'm interested in having a civil debate on what we should agree with and what we shouldn't agree with. I don't want just like a vanilla Republican party that has no disagreements. I'm plenty fine with lots of Republican disagreements. I just want to make sure that they remember that the political enemy are the socialists, and this is the socialism that the Democrats have grabbed up. Have you embraced? So this question about Liz Cheney and

her future, I think is a very open question. And if she believes that the right thing to do is kind of divorce MAGA from this coalition as I call it, not so much a Republican party as it is a coalition the Conservatives are the most important part of that coalition. If she thinks it's important to divorce Maga from that coalition, I will fight her on that. Politically, I like and respect her, We've been friends a long time. I disagree

with her impeachment vote. I disagree with this idea that somehow Trump has been a cancer on the Republican Party. I think he's added millions of new voters. I've obviously been a strong supporter of his. I will continue to be for him and for his policies. And I think we all had that debate and so it becomes a little public at time. That's okay. We're big boys and girls, and we're going to have it at seapack anyway, So buckle up. So tell me this. Let's look at the

other side for a second. Jack Pasovic over One America News got this one going. He pointed out that AOC who's really made a spectacle of herself recently, Alexandria Ocazio, Alexandra Occazio Cortez. She she was claiming that Ted Cruze almost had her killed. I mean I saw that tweet as if you know, Ted Cruz was ordering a hitman to find her. She's been doing, you know, TEARI eyed videos from home about how she was terrified she was

going to die. And now Jack looked at a and you know Capitol Hill very well, she looked at a map and she was what is it about an eight eight to ten minute walk from the actual Capitol when when all this happened. What do you make of this? Well, they're trying to make it sound like it was almost an attack on the on the Nats Stadium, which is not too far away from the Cannon House office building. Look what happened at the Capitol's terrible. Can't be excused.

And I can understand why it was shocking members of Congress. But this is where the language is purposely politicized. Donald Trump didn't call for any violence that day. He called to the opposite. Anybody who accuses the president of calling for violence should show the words in the speech that he uttered that called for violence. Of course, the opposite is in the speech. And if you're going to accuse Ted Cruse of trying to murder, you show the words

that Ted Cruz uttered to call for that violence. Of course, those words don't exist. I often wonder with these socialists, do they think that, like Buck, you and I communicate both with our mouths and we have like some secret like you know, telepathy that we're speaking, you know, encouraging people. They love to call it a dog whistle something people can't hear, but like if you have, if you have

the right kind of hearing, you can hear it. Somehow, Josh Holly and Ted Cruise and Donald Trump were speaking telepathically to their supporters to do bad things. This Manchurian Canada kind of nonsense. It just has to stop. It should be called out. When we used to have pre unfair journalism in this country, they would have told a politician that you can't make charges that you can't substantiate

with actual words. So and I think it's great what Jack has done on this reporting because it doesn't excuse the violence and the crimes that occurred at the Capitol, but it does indict those who are trying to use that those crimes in a way to seem like the Republican Party or Trump supporters or conservatives, or trying to harm them physically. Of course, the opposite is true. My argument would be, no matter whenever you have a big rally somewhere, my guesses you can find fifteen to thirty

lugheads and all those rallies. The difference between MAGA rallies and what we saw with a tef them Black Lives Matter, and I went into some of those crowds with Black Lives Matter, that was overcome with people who meant to do violence, who meant to desecrate, who meant to do physical harm to all these important monuments and buildings. That was the whole reason to have those riots, where by the way, not one cop died. And I really mourned the death of this Capitol Hill cop. I consider him

a hero. I think with the memorial they had from him on Capitol Hill was totally appropriate. I only wish we could have had an equal memorial for all the other cops who have lost their life over the course of last eighteen months with this left wing violence. You know, just because you die trying to save Nancy Pelosi's life doesn't make that death more of a tragedy than if you tried to bring order around the White House or in chop or in Portland, or in Chicago or in

New York City. The death of these law enforcement officers is really a stain on our history, and we ought to have more public memorials and accommodations for those law enforcement officials who have been killed by this left wing violence. All the violence is terrible, it's criminal, and we ought to take the lessons from why it's occurring. And I

definitely think that there. I can tell you about conservatives, they feel a little desperate when their votes are taken away from them, and when their votes are taken away from them, excuse me, when the voice is taken away from them, when literally they can't speak on social media as they have come to expect to be able to speak. Speaking of Match Lap, chairman of the American Conservative Union, and Seepack Matt, which you are the man at Sepack that's going to be happening in just a few weeks.

I'm coming down there to see you and all the rest of the fine folks the conservative movement. What give us the message? And I'm hoping some people listening to this will be able to join us down in Orlando. It's gonna be nice weather, a lot of conservative It's gonna be a good time. But what is going to

be the overriding message? When you're right now gathering together a lot of conservatives, both people who are just supportive of the movement and people who are at the forefront, people that have platforms and that are trying to spread the message. A lot of folks out there are feeling a little dejected right now, given what's going on in this election, and also the first moves of the Biden presidency are not the least bit confidence inspiring for anybody

who lives in reality. I think what is the message going to be then from peck Well? Our theme is America uncanceled. They try to cancel our votes, our values, and now our voices, and so we will spend a lot of time talking about what happened around the election and the reforms that are needed to It's a very simple prospect that you should be a legal voter to be able to vote in a democracy, very basic principle. We violated that, we sullied it, and that's got to stop.

The second thing is this idea of how our political voices are being silenced left and right, both within the corporate culture of most of our publicly traded corporations, on almost every media outlet, obviously in social media, people are losing their jobs because they fly the wrong flag, and that's simply not consistent with American values. So we'll be talking about and then finally the most important thing. Buck. You can understand this because you spend a lot of

time talking about these things. The new embrace of socialism by one of our two major parties has basically meant our Bill of Rights as a stop watch on its life, or at least a clock on its life. They don't believe in these in the Bill of Rights, if you walk through each one. They clearly don't believe in the First Amendment because they think that it's fine to have illegal votes and they think it's fine to cancel people's

political speech. So the First Amendment, and we all know about religious freedom, that's you know, that's been under attack for a decade now. They don't believe in the Second Amendment. Obviously, Joe Biden ran on gun confiscation saying that you're not kind of up to your gun rights, so we'll just take your guns away from you. And if you walk through all of these amendments, they basically don't believe in

the Amendment. Now. They believe in a free press, supposedly, even though that free press doesn't seem to want to take our side into account, which doesn't make it free at all, which makes a propaganda. But I guess you could try to find a way to get that into

the latter part of the First Amendment. But so here or there they don't have disagreements, but ninety percent they don't agree with the Bill of rights back to me is a very dangerous thing in our country that we've never been or before we had one of our two major parties literally rejecting the underpinnings of the Constitution. They used to use euphemisms. They'd say, oh, it's a living, breathing document. We cherish this document, you know, we just want to see some changes to it now that they

don't support any amendas. Isn't that Iran liberals don't support any amends or constitution We do as conservatives because we know that's how you're supposed to change the constitution. That's the way our founders that that was the process they left in the constitution because they knew one day we'd make slavery illegal. They kept that in there on purpose. Women got economic rights, they got the boat. This is

how that was done. But they don't believe in in amendments because they just go to the court where they go to a regulator and by FIAT they just change the world. Matt, where can people go if they if they want to either partake in person or online to join us at seapack in a few weeks. You're a better pitchman than I am. Yeah, go to conservative dot org. There's a few tickets left. We will sell out. We're making announcements every day and we'd love to have you

down there. Match Lap of the American Conservative Union Man, I always appreciate it. See you down in sunny Florida. Thank you back, Thanks for coming to see you back. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Follow Buck on Facebook, Instagram,

and Twitter. Alexandra o'casio Cortez is among the most powerful members of the United States Congress, among the most ignorant, but also among the most powerful, as crazy as that is, and she has been pummeling Republicans with things like telling Senator Ted Cruze that he quote tried to have her killed or almost had her killed. And it came out that her whole story about how terrified she was as the capital was being stormed on the sixth of January.

There's more to it. Than that, because she wasn't even in the Capitol. She was a pretty far distance, about a seven to eight minute walk from the Capitol building when all that was happening. But here's the kind of stuff she's been saying. All of a sudden, I hear boom boom boom boom boom on my door like this, like I'm here, and the bathroom door starts going like this, like the bathroom doors behind me, or rather in front of me, And I'm like this, and the door hinges

right here, and I just hear where is she? Where is she? And this was the moment where I thought everything was over. The moment everything was over was when a Capitol Hill police officer went to her office to make sure that they got her to a safe place because about a you know, eight minute walk away from where she was, in another building, an entirely different structure, there was a riot happening, and people had made their way into illegally and stupidly and wrongly made their way

into the United States Capitol. But she wasn't there. Do you get that sense from what she's been saying about this? You're in the freedom hunt. Thanks for listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Get the latest from Buck at buck Sexton dot com. Sarah Carter is in the house. She is an investigative columnist. She's got incredible contacts all across the national security apparatus, the United States military, you name it. Go to her website as she breaks big stories.

Sarah A. Carter dot Com. Sarah also my good friend. Thanks for joining us. Oh, I'm so happy to be with you back. This is uh it's you know. I was saying, if people got twenty twenty, we were all happy for twenty twenty one to approach and put twenty twenty behind us. But I feel like twenty one is just as bad or just off on the exact same start as twenty twenty. What do you make, Sarah of all these You know, you've reported a lot and broken a lot of big stories on the national security apparatus

of this country, both here at home and overseas. I'm seeing more and more of these people who are coming out, including from my former home agency, the CIA, and at the very top levels, saying that they want to see a counter terrorism approach like the one we used against

al Qaeda used against MAGA terrorists. Trump supporting Americans. You know, whatever that may be, this is an unsettling language to see from people who are certainly supposed to know better than this, right So, and you know, there are so many wonderful people just like you, Buck, who put their lives on the line, who dedicated their and dedicate their life to the national security and safety of our nation.

I don't want to take away from them. But what we are seeing on the official level and at the highest levels I'm talking former CIA Director John Brennan, others within the agency that targeted insurgencies overseas that were certainly very real threats to the United States, but now creating this kind of I call it an operation, a campaign

against American people. You know, the FBI is supposed to be charged with, you know, domestic issues, whether that be groups within the country that are a threat to our government or you know, kidnappings, anything. You understand how this goes. The CIA, the NSA are intelligencely apparatus, is supposed to be focused mainly and almost solely when it comes to

the CIA on overseas threats. Those that can China, for example, huge problem for US right now, Russia for example, I run and other you know, threats such as al Qaeda, which hasn't disappeared, or Islamic State. They're not supposed to be focused on Americans. I almost feel as though they are trying to create an insurgency in the United States, as though they are trying to create divisions in the United States. And remember it started long before Buck this started.

I could see it happening in twenty fifteen and twenty sixteen with the operations I believe, you know, Operation Crossfire, Hurricane, and I believe other operations that targeted the Trump administration and targeted the people around him. And this is very dangerous territory and especially for everyday Americans. What are we not allowed to debate anymore? Are we not going to be allowed to talk on the phone anymore because someone's

going to be listening to us. I don't know what are you hearing, Sarah from from your sources at the at the Pentagon and throughout the branches of the military. When we're being told that the Secretary Defense Austin is having a sixty days stand down to look at issues of white supremacy and the insider threat from white supremacists within the United States military, what are they What are they talking about? And where does this go? What is this?

I don't even know what they're talking about. I know that people in the military right now, and especially you know, being the wife of former Special operations retired Special Operations officer who basically you know, almost gave his life for his country out on the battlefield fighting terrorists. It's an absolute insult. Tell me where they have evidence of this. They haven't shown anyone evidence of this massive white supremacy

movement within our United States military apparatus. Where is it? They won't answer those questions to us. Okay, there's always bad apples, there's always issues. There are all over the world, right, there are always a bad apple. You're a bad apple there.

But show me where in the military, in our United States military, they ask our young men and women, a completely volunteer force, a completely volunteer force, who have sacrificed their lives overseas, who have put their lives on the line, who by the way, have left their families, left their families to fight in countries some of them never return from to call our men and women, or to even ostracize them and make it appear to me that there's

this immassive threat of white supremacy. We know there are many minorities within our military apparatus, and when you're on the front lines and you're fighting your brothers and sisters in combat, you don't see color, you don't see religion. You know you are working together to protect the United States of America and protect each other. I'm very frightened about where this is going. I am extremely concerned about it.

I feel like the left has basically ignored any of the issues that we see with radicalism in the United States. We've seen that with a BLM, with the organization, We've seen that with Antifa. We have seen the rise of radicals, let's go all the way back to the nineteen sixties, and I've never seen the left so adamant or I call it the left. I don't even call it liberal, because civil libertarians like Tulsea Gabbert are very well aware of this and saying, you know, this is extremely wrong.

This is more of a threat to our nation really than what we're seeing overseas, and and it's it's this actions by our government to basically make the American people that disagree with the political party the enemy. And buck I don't. I don't know about you. You and I've been friends for a long time. I know how much you have given to our nation and your service to our country. But I don't know how you feel about this.

But I am I'm insulted as the white of you know, of a military army, uh, you know, ranger and special forces operator. I am insulted when I hear these things. And I just can't believe it's coming out of the Pentagon. It feels like it's coming out of the old Soviet Union. Speaking of Sarah Carter, Sarah A. Carter is her website, Sarah Acarter dot com. That's where she's putting up her columns, which you should absolutely become, you know, regular readers of.

And Sarah, I also wanted to ask you. You covered very important stories all along about Crossfire, Hurricane, the Russia collusion, lie, the the Muller, you know, the Mueller hoax probe, and then of course the the probe that was supposed to come after that with Durham, and we never found that anything really from Durham, nothing really came of it. It's very hard for anybody paying attention this to feel like we you know, you know, it's hard to feel like

they didn't get away with it. I don't know what else to say. Is there anything that people should know? I mean, is there any hope of getting real transparency and maybe even accountability for the you know, Russia collusion stolen election of twenty sixteen hopes that the Democrats perpetrated against Trump or has that ship sailed? You know what? The Democrats perpetrated that along with foreign sources like Christopher Steele in Great Britain, former am I six agent, as

well as Russians, against the American people. This wasn't just about President Trump. President Trump was the elected official. It was the rise of the American people to say, you know what, we're sick and tired of the Washington DC swamp and guess what all of us got played. You want to see someone who's upset, it's me every single night,

you know, reporting and working on stories and exposure. And not only me, but think about this, all of the manpower that went into the Intelligence investigations House Intelligence Committee, all the people that worked on those reports for then Chairman Devin Newness, now ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee. All of the people that worked on this that actually believed even in the media beyond me that actually believed that.

You know, we were exposing, and we did expose one of the biggest stories in American history, which really in the modern American political history would showed that people from an opposing party under the Obama administration were out to target the election of a presidential candidate and then of course President elect Trunk and then President Trump. And we've seen that for four years, and John Durham has done nothing,

and Attorney General William Barr did nothing. We now here that Kevin Kleine Smith, who is the attorney who basically falsified a FAISA, a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant on a US citizen, Carter Page, who wasn't just I mean as a US citizen, My gosh, let's just trample all over the Fourth Amendment. But carter Page was also assisting the United States and assisting the CIA. This was no accident. They targeted carter Page when they knew well and good

that there was nothing there. In fact, they targeted President Trump when they knew there was nothing there. In fact, they wasted taxpayer dollars and destroyed people's lives with an investigation by Robert Mueller, by investigation by Robert Mueller, that should never happened, that basically tied up the United States and this administration for four years. And guess what, all of those same people that should be held accountable are now going to be entering the Biden and ministry. Let's

want I ask about it. I want to ask you about that next era. So that's a perfect transition. It feels like a lot of people who were a part of that. You look at Brennan and you look at Sally Yates and different people that are in and around the DOJ, the State Department. You know they're either coming back in better jobs than this administration, or they're very connected to and sort of waiting to get some kind of a gig with this administration, whether in an informal

or formal advisory role. It feels like they pulled off the scam and they all got promoted. They all got promoted. In fact, Peter Struck's wife is getting promoted to the SEC big position at the Security and Exchange Commission, which, guess what is going to oversee a lot of the issues that we're dealing with with big tech. Tell me

about that, you know here we have Peter Struck. The FBI literally fired him, the good people inside the FBI because he lied, because of his involvement in the investigation across my hurricane into President Trump. Now his wife, who he cheated on openly in front of the entire country, is going to get a you know, a very good position at the SEC. She may be great, she may

be a fantastic attorney, but the optics look terrible. And what about Samantha Power, you know, the former UN ambassador under President Barack Obama that was literally unmasking Americans to the tune of over two hundred and then told, you know, then Congressman Trey Goudy during a hearing, oh I didn't do all of those. Someone must have been basically signing

in my name. Now she's going to head USAID for Joe Biden, and you have Susan Rice coming in to head his equity, uh, you know division making sure everything's equitable sounds very very you know Chinese communist to me now is to me, let's make sure everything's equitable. How are you going to make sure of that? How do you make sure everything's equitable? These these are you know, positions of power that are being given back to people that are going to have access to some of the

greatest tools in the history of the world. You know, I like it when people say, you know, big tech, they are the most powerful. This is the most powerful we've ever seen an industry or corporation at any point in time in the history of mankind. Why because it's global, so big tech. But also what about the government, the tools in our own government. And it makes me wonder, like, how is it possible that you know, so many people from all over the world they look to the United

States as a beacon of light. They look to the United States as a place where the justice system actually means something, where corruption is outed, where people pay the price. But yet what we've seen over the last four or five years is that nobody has answered for any of this. Nobody that was involved in the Russia hopes paid the post. And then they are going to do it again, Sarah. Unfortunately,

they've learned, they've learned how to do this better. The next time, they'll be probably less sloppy, and there has not been accountability. But hopefully folks like you out there will where they can break the big stories and get the truth out there. So the American people can see it's Sarah Acarter dot Com is her website. She also has a podcast you should all check out Sarah Carter everybody. Sarah, thanks so much, Thank you so much, Buck. I look forward to being back on with you. Get you on

my podcast too. Sounds good. You take care you two. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Join the conversation and message Buck on Facebook, Instagram, or email Team Bucket iHeartMedia dot com if you may read it on the show. What we're also trying to do is make our health and medical experts available to ensure people understand. And I'll reiterate it here today, it's not just a vaccine, as obviously an incredible medical breakthrough, and we want every American

to have one. But even if your vast vaccinated, social distancing wearing masks are going to be essential and well, we'll need to continue communicating about that through health and medical experts. So what do you say to those folks? What do you say to the folks like those that we saw in this video. I believe one of the folks who owns or runs that store who said he

doesn't believe that four hundred fifty thousand error. No, no, no, okay, look what they just did, even in this clip that they take people who don't want to keep living these you know, these lockdown lives after they're vaccinated with a ninety five percent effective vaccine, and they equated to someone who doesn't even believe COVID is real. Shot up. But we better get it. We better get to come to grips with us right now. Friends, There is no such

thing as a one hundred percent effective vaccine. It doesn't exist. We better realize this soon or else the mask shamers and the lockdowners are going to demand you double mask and social distance for years to come. Right, Saying that the vaccine is not fool proof is becoming their excuse for endless tyranny. Goal posts moved again. You do what we say because of the risk to everybody that you love to listen, even if you're virccinated. No, they need

to shut up and stop being crazy, all right. The data tells us that the chance of you infecting someone else with this once you've been vaccinated is acceptable. That's right, it's acceptable, meaning that there's there's just life has to be lived even though there's no guarantees that's what it means. We are not allowing them to use a zero risk standard to destroy all of our freedoms and all of our liberty, you know, for as long as they choose

to do so years into the future. These people are lunatics. We've been through this. Their policies have not worked, their answers have not have not been what they said they'd be. This is madness. But sure enough, you could theoretically, you mean, you could get you know, and any number of diseases that you're vaccinated for, even though you've been vaccinated. But does that mean that you you can't go out there

and live your life. It's it's unbelievable. It's unbelievable. And then this is this is really what we're up against. They we're up against a mass hysteria, a millions and millions and millions of people who are zealots about double masks and social social distancing is an absurdity. It just means avoid human beings. It's not some scientific day means stay away from people because they might get you sick. This isn't some this isn't some brilliant breakthrough. You're listening

to the Buck Sexton Show. Podcast. Make sure you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeart radio app or wherever you get your podcasts. So we've been negotiating with Republicans for the last several months and one of the real challenge as we've had, is responding to the need my state is suffering. I just had a call with a lot of my advocates in the food space. People are hungry, children are going to bed, hungry, seniors don't have enough food.

Seniors are dying of isolation. I mean, the reality what's happening in my state is horrible, and so we need a generous and robust and bold package. We need something that actually adds to food stamps and to pandemic EBT, one that adds to housing, to healthcare workers, to job training. And that's what the Republicans are unwilling to do. They are willing to do money for vaccines, everyone is, but they're not willing to go the extra step to meet

the need of the suffering job training. I have an idea that I think is even better than job training. Right now that the Center from New York may want to pay attention to let people do their jobs. You idiot politicians that continue lockdowns in New York when Florida

is has proven that it was unnets. Sara, stop talking about money for bureaucrats to pretend that they're going to teach people new skills that will make them so valuable all of a sudden the jobs market when you are still not allowing people who would have jobs to go to their jobs and do it. But it's all just

it's all just absurdity from these democrats. It's all just posturing. Oh, you know, you know what would also be helpful at this point if people could go to their jobs or do their jobs more easily, even if they can work at home a lot of the time by having kids in school and not at home doing zoom, which is not really school. And here's the head of the CDC who's having to explain that moving the goalposts again, the teachers unions playing the games that they have been, where

kids are being sacrificed for this, it cannot continue. CDC Director Rochelle will Lensky played nine. But I also want to be clear that there is increasing data to suggest that schools can safely reopen, and that that safe reopening does not suggest that teachers need to be vaccinated in

order to reopen safely. So while we are implementing the criteria of the Advisory Committee and of the state and local guidances to get vaccination across these eligible communities, I would also say that safe reopening of schools is not that vaccination of teachers is not a prerequisite for safe reopening of schools. Stop with all the dancing around CDC Director under Biden, of course, and just say open the schools.

There is no reasonable basis for schools opened. See it's it's even hard to talk with this because I should just say there's no risk, open open the damn schools. But then someone say, oh, but there's you know one teacher that I read about in the Daily Mail two months ago who got released with Okay, guys, yeah, of course it is possible that a teacher could get COVID and die from it, just like it is possible that all these other people that are going to their jobs

every day could get COVID and die from it. What makes teachers so special? I mean, someone should ask the teachers unions that maybe they can have Randy Weingarten up here. Again. Teachers just want to teach, sure, they do. They want to teach from their couch by pressing play on a zoom lecture for kids that they don't have to pay attention to or help anymore, while the teachers get their full paycheck and building up their benefits. And you know,

give me a break, give me a break. It's ridiculous. But Democrats won't, won't really call it out, won't really speak the truth about it, because why their power. This is a constituency for them. Gotta keep the teachers unions happy, Gotta keep them happy. That's that's what they're really so concerned about. But you know, back to Kirsten Gillibrand and what the Democrats are saying about how this is about

helping people. They've been holding up the helping of people for months, and they've been doing it for obvious political reasons. I mean, Nancy Pelosi has prevented you, if you're somebody who would qualify for aid under what's going on with COVID relief, prevented you from getting a check that you should get. The government has hurt people economically, and the government should try to make some amends for that because it wasn't even necessary. That's the part of this they

really don't want you to figure out. They didn't have to shut down your business. They didn't have to shut down your restaurant, your school, name it, whatever it may be. But they did it anyway because the doctor Fauci. Here's Pelosi saying. And Pelosi loves to play the hero. Oh, the hero of the poor. She's like mother Teresa Pelosi. You know, Oh, she cares so much about the poor

of the suffering. You know, as long as their servants show up on time to the mansion in San Francisco, of course, I mean that's you know, then she cares about the poor and the suffering. Here's chardonnay Nancy. Hopefully she put down the bottle for a second place. Six. The time for decisive action is now. That is why today we will pass She's Mistress, a budget resolution to pave the way for landmark coronavirus Rescue Rescue plan, which will do what is needed to save lives and livelihoods.

We hope that Republicans in Congress would support a legislative package that would bring real relief to people and to our communities. And passing this budget does not preclude reaching a bipartisan agreement. I'd rather not work under reconciliation. But if that's the way we have to work in order to get results for the American people, we must use every option at our disposal. But I'm hopeful that we can have bipartisanship. Crisis for Dems is an opportunity. You

know it, I know it. That's how they view it. That's what's going on here. That's the whole point, that's the whole game. They want to spend trillions of dollars. Some of it will go to Americans, some of it it will go to the American people, but a lot of it's going to go to whatever project gets the Democrats excited, whatever constituency, whatever special interests, whatever political body, they can get this money too. That helps them. That's what they

want to do. And I'm telling you we you know, we are testing the outer limits here of what we can get away with with our monetary system. We're really we're really just hitting the accelerator. We're taking this to the max. Just don't pay attention. As milk in the story gets more expensive. Oh there's no inflation, right, don't pay attention. Is your dollars aren't going as far as they used to do because that's there's no there's no inflation,

they tell. Okay, but somehow things getting more expensive, and somehow st financial security and stability is further and further out of the hands of people who are, you know, middle class. It used to be. I mean, it's a basic think. It used to be able to you would you would put money in a savings account, and over time you build up and your money was there, and you would you'd be able to actually get a return on that money. You get a real return on savings,

you know. So if you were a saver, now you gotta pile all you gotta pile money into the markets to get any yield, and if you don't a chase yield, your money actually loses value over time because of the inflation we do have. I think now there's thing they're gonna target inflation a two percent. Well that's great, so you can put your money and you know, I think I've got my money in his savings account right now. That's paying me like, you know, point zero three percent

interest or something stupid. It might be a little higher than that, but it's essentially a joke. I love it when I get my ten ninety nine form of my savings account. You know, it's basically telling me, like, you've made a few pennies this year. I'm like, oh wow, maybe if I take all those pennies and stack them up, I could go buy myself a hard candy somewhere. It's absurd. But we didn't make it. We didn't make the case the American people about this during the Trump years. I

know this is now I'm now mister grumpy pants. I'm being the grumpy pants radio host. But I used to say this to say, I know, guys, times are good, Trump's doing well. We don't want to talk about the debt. But we got a problem here. Nobody wanted to hear it. So what's the point, right, I'm here to inform and entertain. I'm not here to scold or annoy. So I tried

to bring up the debt. Never I could just I could just hear the radio dials changing to someone who's you know, deliver pizzas, pay down, pay down your debts, you know, deliver them pizzas and you know, pay them down. And okay, I mean you know I've just given you that message. There you go, don't run up credit card debt, pay off your debts make cash on the side. However, you can build a side, hustle the end and buy your books. You know, well, I don't have any books,

but I get what you're saying. Yeah, you know that's that's right. So you know, I don't want people changing the dial for that. I don't I don't need that rather than was. But of the national debt is an issue. But even little little sweaty hands Paul Krugman, Paul Kreman, he's he's telling us, good luck, Republicans, make it up,

think about the national debt. Now. I hate to say it, but this only aginous little fellow is kind of correct here about how we're not going to be able to get much much headway on this one play twenty one. A lot of Republicans will argue that they don't want to add to the national debt? Um is this going to add to the national debt? And say a comparable way that the tax law did back in I believe it was twenty eighteen nineteen. Oh, sure, it's just this

is a it's adding to the debt. But there's been a real sea change in mainstream mechanomic refused that says the debt is just not that big of a problem now. I mean, if you want to disagree with that, okay, But the Republican Party has no standing to do that because they have been so obviously. They didn't care about a debt when a great Republican, when Bush was president, they suddenly cared about when a bomb was president. They stopped caring when when Trump came in, and now they

care about it again with Biden. So they just have no credibility if someone wants to make a serious argument that isn't so obviously partisan. Fine, but the mainstream economic view now is that the debt that's being occurred is not a problem, whereas failure to provide enough economic relief during this pandemic is a problem. Yeah, the debt is not a problem according to Paul Krugman. And that's of

course because Democrats are in charge now. But his point about Republicans not sending him about the durring Trump, I hate to say it, that's true. You know, I live in the reality world here. I live in the truth world, and we didn't care. We didn't care because it's look, everybody wants to believe. There's Santa Claus, and the Santa Claus is the government and he's got big bags of money. He just gives it to people and everything's fine, right,

we say, we don't want to believe that. But then you try to do anything about Medicare or Social Security or anything like that, and you have a clear consensus of the American voter going against you. Weep, We keep doing this, keep talking about it. So unfortunately, friends, just hop on the hop on the buck train here and we're gonna have as good time, as much of a good time as we can until we run out of tracks. And then we our national debt, you know, takes us

into the ravine and there's a big explosion. I don't know what else to say. We're just we're not going to do anything about it until it's too late, until we feel the pain. And even you know, Treasury Secretary yelling telling everybody we got to go big. We need trillions of dollars of spending. Your play fifteen precedent is really committed to helping Americans get through this terribly difficult period.

Addressing the public health needs to deal with the pandemic as rapidly as we can, to get the population vaccinated as quickly and efficiently as possible, get children back to school, make sure our economy gets to the other side with strong labor market so that people have jobs. Wants to make sure that Americans have food to put on the table. We need to act big. We have to make sure that we provide a bridge so that people are in

scarred indefinitely by this crisis. And small businesses around the country, so many of them have closed. They're the lifeblood of their communities and they really need help. Oh, they're just figuring this out now that small businesses really need help. And they've been they've been destroyed, ruined these Democrat lockdown policies. They're just figuring this out. Oh okay, gosh. It's almost like they don't own a they don't own an internet

connection or something. This is this is new to them somehow. Well, this is what we're going to be up against. This is what we're heading into. Now. They can spend what is at one point eight trillion, they want to spend close to two trillion dollars just on all this COVID relief stuff. Just a huge spending extravaganza. And if you stand in the way of it, you're a bad person. If you stand in the way of it. You don't want to, you know, someone like me, he's been saying,

open up the schools, open up the businesses. Stop this. Stop hurting people. You're driving them to deaths of despair. You're ruining their finances, You're you're bankrupting millions of Americans with this idiotic policy that you think is stopping COVID. And it's clearly not. They should stop what they're doing, but no, instead it's, oh, no, let's just spend a

whole lot of money. That'll fix everything. Even like Sackey Bomb is like, yeah, we're totally gonna have to look at those stimulus checks because like totally play five rolling today on the poll with House Democrats, the President talked about better targeting the stimulus checks. I'm wandering people, just explain what he meant by that is what might be have your consideration. Sure, well, as we've said in here a few times, but but I know this is an

ongoing process. You know, the President, having served in the Senate for thirty six years, fully recognizes that the bill he proposed that he did by a primetime address on two weeks ago that may not look exactly like the bill that comes out and he knows that that's part

of the legislative process. So further targeting means not the size of the check, it means the the the the income level of people who received the check, and that's something that has been under discussion, has been a conclusion, but certainly is open to having that discussion. Yep, they're not gonna they're not. It's not going to be with Biden promise. But you see Biden not a following through

it as promises. We're all supposed to expect that. That's that's the normalcy that we're we're going to be subjected to. Now he's Joe Biden. Okay, you know what, you know it is nice. Made me kind of give me a little smile today. CNN's ratings for the month of January. I think we're down over forty percent in primetime. So

without Orange Man Bad, what service to see an n provide? Honestly, I'd rather listen to NPR, where everybody's voice is like this and they're just talking to you about the news day to day. Oh gosh, let's play some background jazz music that sounds like fun. This is the Buck Sexton Show Podcast. Follow Buck on Facebook Instagram and Twitter. I worked hard on immigration issues, Maria. The American national security

depends on a sovereign United States of America. We have to know who's coming in and out of our country or a compassionate people everyone all across the world wants to come be here in America. But we have a responsibility to the people who are here in the United States to make sure that we have secure borders, that we know who's coming in that of our country, and that we regulate our immigration in a way that preserves jobs and prosperity and wages for the people who are

here in the United States. I hope the next administration doesn't undo all the good work we did to keep Americans safe from drugs coming across our border, from illegals coming across our border, from all the ills the flow from open borders here in the United States. Democrats reject all of that. Secretary Pompeo is totally correct. I'm sorry, Well, I guess you still call it, secretary, Former secretary. It's

going to happen sometimes. Former Secretary of State Pompeo is you know, he's correct in his assessment of the need for strong border security. He is correct when he talks about what's going on here with the way the Democrats are attacking all of this, but it's not going to change.

They're ideologically devoted to this now. They are ideologically committed to making sure that if you want to come to America, particularly if if you are a from a non white or non Christian majority nation, the Democrats have a clear preference for that, you know, one of those two things, either either a non Christian or non non white majority nation. That's the kind of immigration the Democrats prefer. They make

that very clear. So they also believe in a They believe in a kind of affirmative action through immigration process, which is something that we never really talk about. But it's interesting that I thought we just wanted the best people of any race, creed, or color to become American. I thought we wanted the most productive, best people to come legally to this country. But Democrats view it very differently.

They view it as a as a giant, a giant gateway for diversity, even for diversity that is achieved through illegal means. This is the Buck Sexton Show Podcast.

Fellow Patriots, It's time for roll call, and I need life to go a little bit more back to normal. So I've got better stories or things to talk about than the food I'm eating,

the shows I'm watching, and the dog producer Mark. But what else am I supposed to do and talk about when I escape to freedom in Florida? But only for a few days. There's nothing. There's nothing else you can really do here. Yeah, there's nothing to do with your life, So what are we going to talk about? Aren't people just more bored than they've ever been? Or maybe we're fin out there, and maybe there are a lot of people who like they're happy to basically do very little

as long as they don't have fomo. Right, So as long as everybody can't socialize, a lot of people are like, well, it's not like I'm missing out on fun parties, so who cares? Yes, exactly. If other people were doing stuff, I'd have total fomo. But because everyone else is doing absolutely nothing, You're right, there's no reason to be sad. It just feels like people are not there. There. I see a lot of folks out there that feel I feel like they are like, yeah, you know, if this

sort of continues on, it's fine. You know, you got a lot of entertaining things to watch, a lot of books to read. You know. It's I think it's it's disconcerting how much everyone's sort of gotten okay with this one.

I mean, you know, there used to be like excitement going on in day to day life, things happening, and I'd really just look forward to that one day when I can go into a crowded bar and no one's wearing a mask, and someone, you know, spills not even Quervo silver, Quervo gold, which you should really only use for you know, cleaning rust off your car or something, uh, you know, spills that on me, and and we're all just shoulder to shoulder and you know, just squashed into

some some dive bar together with some athletic event on the TV screens that I could care less about, as producer Mark knows. But at least it'll be normalcy, you know, at least it'll feel like the world is returning to what it used to be, which would be nice. I

could live without being in large groups of people. See, I'm human being though, so that's well, I'm just gonna I'm gonna say this, uh and I and people always argue with me on this, and then the more I talk to them about it, the more they the more they agree with me. Really crowded things, like like like live music venues where you're packed in, especially if it's

inside outside a little different. You're getting fresh air packed inside, there's some crowded thing where people are dancing badly and like bumping into you, and there's even like a mosh pit and all this stuff. It's not that fun. It's really Oh it goes to my overrated category. It's just overrated. You know. This is also like what I talked to snow Princess about about picnics. I always tell her, I'm like, look,

picnics because one thing you could do these days. I guess it's a little cold now, but you can during the pandemic go out in the park and picnic. And the thing about it is, you know, you go out there, you carry First of all, you don't want to go out there with like some Chinese takeout cartons or something. Right, you wanted to look, you got to have that kind of gingham red and white spread thing, and you gotta

have the back. It's gotta be picnicky. But then you get out there and my first thing is what You're gonna sit on a blanket on the ground. That's not that comfortable. I want to sit in a chair like a civilized person. I don't want to sit it on the ground. The ground is cold and hard. And then I feel like you're at the picnic. Okay, So is it only cold food? Because if it's warm food, chances are it's not still warm by the time you actually get to where you're sitting. You're sitting on the ground.

Your warm food is now cold. And there's always something I don't know about you, but I always like having access when I'm making food eating food. I like access to the fridge too, to my own kitchen, because you know, maybe I'm gonna want something delicious like mayo to throw on at prouser Mark and what if I don't have it in the middle of the park. Yeah, you have to think. It's like when you go to the beach. You have to think of everything you might need to bring,

like do I need some sauce for my sandwich? Any beverages? Yeah, it's a lot and I agree with you with the chair thing. Even at the beach. I don't sit on a blanket on the sand. I bring a chair. Yeah, you know there's a Christopher Hitchens famously said there are I can't say what all of them are because it was he was. He was a naughty man and said things that you can't say on family friendly shows. But among his most overrated things were picnics, lobster, and champagne.

And I'm with him on the picnics. I'm with him on champagne. I do love lobster though, like I just think lobster's delicious, So I can't I can't with him on that one. But but champagne, Okay, it's fine. But sparkling white wine is just as good. You know. Oh it's the Champagne region, which we all know about this because of Wayne's World. Do you know what I'm talking about. I've heard them where Roblow. Yeah, Roblow explains it's name for the region. It's the thing with Americans call their

sparkling white Champagne. Not true anyway. Sparkling white wine basically is just wine. It's wine with bubbles, and it's fine. People get all excited about it and everything else. You know, our our generation, which I think we're texting the same generation, even though you're a whipper snapper, our generation is far less inclined to spend a lot of money on a bottle of wine. We don't view that as you know.

I'm always like, yeah, I'll spend twenty bucks on wine. Fine, you know, maybe maybe I'll go up to thirty if I'm feeling saucy. I'd never stand as people go, oh, we're at a nice restaurant, let's spend three hundred dollars on a bottle of wine. I would be lying if I could tell the difference between three hundred dollars wine and thirty dollars wine, I have no idea, no idea.

I've gone to Napa Valley and gone to this like really cool winery, you know, exclusive stuff, and I'm like, I don't understand the difference between this and a bottle i'll get at the grocery store. It doesn't you know. I mean, there is wine can taste bad. Yeah, you know, I guess you know what type you like, but it's all the same. Yeah, But I mean I just I don't see the the you know, that's just I will say a coffee I have. Maybe it's because I so

here's the thing, I don't drink very much. You know, I drink a little bit of wine, a little bit of mescal. That's basically it. You know, tequila, wine, mescal. Those are really the only things I drink, and I drink pretty rarely, especially in lockdown, because I view drinking as a as a as something you do to celebrate. Maybe wine with dinner, sure, but I I view any kind of like boozing as like party or a celebration. I'm not a guy that you know, I look, I'm

just not a big drinker. And that's you know, people have their own stuff. It's just not really one of my things. Um. But with with with the wine situation, I always feel like I don't drink it enough to know whereas I drink. And I'm not just doing a

spot here for black rifle coffee. But it's true, I drink so much coffee that I really can I know good coffee from bad coffee, and I can sort of taste like why people like a French press that's perfectly done more than even something you'll get out of like a k cup or whatever. I mean I so because you know, I guess if you do it enough, you pick up these nuances and flavors, if it tastes good,

eat it. Yeah, that's another that's another approach. So there. Yeah, But I'm just sort of thinking about the things that are are going on these days. Um. Most exciting thing I had yesterday was thinking about whether we're going to get Tallula some little booties, you know, because she was walking and I want her to get salt in her little paws. So we have to get her little booties. But then my mom said that I have to get them measured so that the right size booties for her

little feet. Seas want to hurt her well, of course, but so we're trying to figure out how to make sure that she doesn't get salt in her paws. You should get one of those things they have this it's like kind of like looks like a cup that you put the dog's paw in and it washes it for you. Really, yeah, so it makes it easier to wash their paws. I gotta get a dog pawwasher. I gotta do that. I use baby wipes to clean her, you know, because I want to make sure that her area is very clean,

you know, on a day. See, this is how exciting my life is. Telling you all across the country about baby wipes and the dog. I'm just saying it works for the dog owners out there. Baby wipes work very well for the dog, all right, Nancy, thanks for being a voice of reason. I'm from Pennsylvania. Stn't feel like they're unanswered election questions, and it frustrates me. The large part of the US will never have answers, and we're made to feel like we're crazy if we raise any questions.

My husband and I stopped listening to Fauci once he admitted a lying We have been researching our own info. Thank you for being the voice for so many of us. Well, Nancy, thank you for listening, and thank you for being the reason that I can have a voice like this because folks like you listen, and yeah, I find just I find it so deeply. I really mean this so deeply Unamerican and therefore very troubling, very unsettling. The way in which we are told to shut up, be quiet, and

listen to what we are told. Now, I find that really troubling. I really do not like this. You know, we're not allowed to even ask for the explanation. I can't even put out there the question without being attacked and without even suffering consequences for asking the wrong kind of question about things like an election, or about things like, you know, the medical benefits of a nationwide mask policy

or something. You're not allowed to ask these questions. And I think that's I think that's really deeply troubling, and I think it's something that we should all be very worried about because it just means that we're moving away from some of the most precious things things that we have in our society. Brandon Haybuck, I think the Republicans new motto should be you first. Whenever Democrats want to have the Republicans reprimand a person for their spoken word,

their response should be you first. When Biden wants your job to go away and you learn to code, our response should be you first. When they decided to send our boys away to fight in another useless war, our response should be Yep, we get it. Brandon. I agree with your sentiment. I'm not sure that it would really stop them from doing and saying the things that they do, but I appreciate where you're coming from with it and and certainly hypocrisy continues to be one of the great

failing of great points of failure for Democrats. So that's that's something that's not going to change anytime soon. And yes, I mean I had to love it with John Kerry. I didn't. We didn't play this in the show. We might tomorrow. You know, there's this there's this clip of him going he's flying to Iceland, just not a picly long flight from the eastern United States, at least, he's flying to Iceland and he takes a private jet to

a to get a climate change award in Iceland. That private jet flight means that he put out in one day more co two than you and your family probably will in a year, and or whatever the metrics are. I don't know, but it's something crazy like that. And his response was, ooh, this is really the only choice for people like me. Yeah, for guys who become super rich by marrying a divorcee from another super rich guy. Like that's that's what John Kerry means. He's important and

powerful and really rich because he is. And so that's how this works, that's how this goes. Like, of course he's taking a private jet you should ride a bicycle when you want to go to Iceland, and how that works out whatever, you know, maybe maybe you find a piece of like floating glacier or something that you can get on and hope that it takes you to Iceland on your bicycle. I mean, of course absurd, but you get what I'm saying. You're suffering. Your inconvenience is irrelevant

to the climate change. To the climate change. Zealots they don't suffer through that stuff though, of course. And you're not allowed to notice that it. If you notice that, you're part of the problem. If you notice that it's it's on you, all right, Richard, Hey, buck Buck Rogers is amazing. It's up there with Princess of Mars and Flash Gordon. One reason I love Elon Musk is he took the old iconic space rocket that's always depicted in

those shows and they made that design work. Soon people will be going into space on rockets that look exactly like Buck Rogers rockets. How awesome is that? Keep your ray guns at the ready and your eye on shields high. Sure I like it, my man, great message, Thanks so much for writing in, and I am excited to check out this new Buck Rogers thing, because then hopefully people will know my name and stop making dumb jokes about it. I've heard all the jokes. I've heard them all million times.

His response to the idea of Asian privilege is that it's not a thing because as racial minorities, they haven't

been historical oppressors like whites have. Whether it's income inequality, educational equality, or criminal justice. The base of their argument for any kind of racial inequality is at the root of the problem lies in oppression by whites. I certainly don't agree with that argument, but it's frustrating one debate with because they frame the idea in such a way they'll always circle back to the original premise of one particular demographic being the problem the country. Men, Kyle, your

friend is a lunatic. I'm sorry, I have to tell you. Okay, So now it's it's not that there's a special benefit to being white. It's that whiteness, according to the argument you're telling me, your friend makes whiteness is itself the sin that people must be punished for. I mean, this is racism. This is racism against white people. It's what your friend is talking about. That's all. It is, plain

and simple. And then people say, oh, right, there can't be racism, because what no, No, there can there can be racism. It's not just that the you know, white people are the only ones that are possible. You know, there are a lot of countries where there are no white people and there's still a lot of racism. Turns out there's racism among people of different races within the same country. That's actually not uncommon, and not including white

people in the in the equation at all. But you know, the left, they get more desperate as their arguments get weaker and weaker and more extreme. So get ready for that. That's gonna be. That's gonna be a feature of life under the Biden presidency. Weak arguments that are yelled at by crazy shrill that are yelled at you by people with crazy shrill tones who can't actually have a normal adult conversation about anything. Pablo, Hey, Buck, I'm listening to

your show. You're talking about Buck Rogers. I am fifty five and this was a comic that my father probably read. There was a cheesy eighties TV show that was based on the comics. I really laughed. Because people hear your name as Bob. Want to introduce myself. Sometimes people call me Bob too. Actually they call me Boblow. Then I shake my head and say Shield's High, Boblo. Yeah, I'm sure, man, people,

I can't tell you. I'll look somebody right in the eyes and I'll say Buck when they asked you my name, and they'll look back and me and go, oh, Bob, great to meet you. It's like, how how does that happen? How does that happen? Speaking of which Kim writes in they actually did that banana fannas song in my niece's virtual kindergarten class. That would have been awkward for your teacher, Kim. Indeed, we had, you know, we had to stop at Buck Buck. Oh Buck. We don't even want to get it into

the Finana Fana because we know where. We know where people's minds go right away, so that's where we gotta leave it. Team, pass the Buck, tell somebody about the Buck Sexton Show. Make sure you got a Buck Sexton dot com. Sign up for our email newsletter there please until tomorrow, Shields High
