Biden Can't Hide From His Socialism

mistake American, Great, great American. Again the Buck Sexton Show begins. He's a great guy. No, welcome everyone to the Buck set Show. My, oh my, the stuff that is going on in Portland is nuts, crazy, isn't it. You haven't seen some of the videos they're circulating all over the place. They are, of course trying to tell us that what you're seeing is democracy and action, that these are mostly

peaceful protests. They're mostly peaceful. I mean they have set up in phalanx formation in the videos that you can see operating with the rehearsed tactics and cohesive maneuver of a domestic terrorist paramilitary group, and they're trying to destroy federal courthouses, and the only thing the media focus is on right now. This is a fascinating example of the propaganda at work here. The only thing the media wants to talk about is the police response. So you have

the Democrats undermining our society. These are all Democrats doing this. And I want to be almost too insist on this point. Yeah, I know all their anarchists are no, no, no, First and foremost, these are Democrats. These are the shock troops, the stormtroopers. This is part of the Democrat Blitzkrieg of

twenty twenty. That's what is happening right now, the mobilization of all these different movements on the street, the rhetoric that has taken hold, not just for community organizers and rabble rousers of all kinds, but in the corporate boardroom now, the most powerful corporations in the country. This is the organized institutional establishment left embracing a radicalism that we've known is there and has been growing for a long time.

Now it's running the show. And if you're wondering just to what degree, Joe Biden, who's supposed to be the moderate, longstanding solid as a rock, the Rock of Gibraltar, of the Democrat already, He's been a Joe's been in the game for forty years. He'll bring us back together. Joe worked for Obama as his VP for eight years. It's all a sham, it's all a facade. It's meant to fool you. Biden is just the puppet they're putting him forward.

He is the empty vessel, empty up top in the brain, empty when it comes to courage and virtue and leadership. He is the empty vessel through which the far left will dictate policy in this country. While we're seeing just stunning stuff, I mean, the most aggressive, violent Antifa style protesting since I can't even think maybe the wto Mayhem in Seattle, which was almost now I think, decades ago. We are seeing stuff that we have not had to

see for a long time. And you think that any president or any presidential candidate, I should say, looking at this, would understand you can't allow this. You can't allow people for reasons that are really not even disclosed. Right, some of its black lives matter, some of it's and the incarcel or the Carcel state, all these phrases and slogans that show up at these protests, and if you want to know how stupid and how theckless and reckless is

the Democrat left. Now they will they will have not just the people on the streets who want to destroy everything, They'll have some of their favorite members of Congress. Right, stuff like this. This is Ianna Pressley, congressmoman Ianna Pressley, she tweeted out earlier today, cancel rent, cancel mortgage, cancel student debt. And to this, I want to say, cancel credit card debt, right, cancel, cancel all of mine. I don't want to pay anybody anything. I just want more

for me, me, me. I don't want to have to go through with my obligations. I don't want to have to honor contracts. Right, That's that's the mentality of the left. That's what the Democrats are letting you know. This is childishness. This is this is the outcry of a mob of mad babies. We want this or we'll destroy things it. We'll scream and we'll cry. This isn't using the political system. This is using the threat of force. This is coercion.

This is destruction. This is vandalism, this is criminality. And yet what does Biden Oh, that's right, he's such a trustworthy, a seasoned elder statesman. He's definitely an elder. And look, I know there are seventy eight year olds who could kick my button run ten miles tomorrow, you know, before breakfast. I get that Biden's not one of them. That's the point. Okay,

Biden's not there. You know, we've all seen it. We know there's deterioration signing up to be president, that they would put somebody forward that it's it's truly crazy to think that this guy has eight more, not just decent years of health, eight more years of a ferocious energy and focus necessary to be president president. You know, say what you will about Obama, and there's a lot that I've said and a lot that I like Obama. You know,

Obama had the focus. Obama had the health and the energy to drag this country closer to socialism than it's ever been. You know, that was not a concern with Joe Biden. It's a concern, and more than a concern. It's ombvious. But while this is happening, and Portland now has become this is all about the theater right and terrorism, and they're acting like domestic terrorists, less than lethal terrorists. They'll hurt cops. They'll hit them with plywood with nails

in it, they'll throw rocks at them. But they know that if they start killing people, it'll cause too much of a backlash. Then finally, the good guys will be willing to use the overwhelming force necessary to defeat the bad guys. We're just we're not there yet. There's no political will in these cities. The people that are calling the shots for law enforcement officers at the local and state level in Oregon, in Washington are unwilling to give

them the leeway necessary to shut this stuff down. But these domestic terrorists are doing this for the theatrics. They do this for the Graham, so to speak, the Instagram. They're doing this because they want everyone across the country and around the world to focus on their banners and their movement. And it creates this energy, right, this infectious energy of political stupidity. But it's out there, it's all over the place. People say, yeah, that's right. This is

a really a funnel for anti Trump outrage. This is a funnel of trumped arrangement syndrome at their creating. With all of this, and I'm seeing now on social media people will do things like share a video of of you know, really nasty police violence and this was a blue check. I can't remember who did it, but it was nasty police violence and it went super viral, superviral. You see what's happening here. Just wait until six months passes. If Trump has his way, it's like the Stasi all

over again. Oh yeah, that's what we're hearing now. And those losers at the Lincoln Project, it really is. It's it's the Loser Project there. It's just a whole bunch of losers. They're just good at doing one thing, losing and trying to tear it down people smarter, better and more successful than they are. That is the Lincoln Project, which if you don't know what that is, it's this group that's supposedly Republicans that want to help get Biden elected.

George Will I'll never read another George Will column by choice unless I'm going to make fun of it for as long as if George Will now says he's gonna vote for Biden. Wow, he's establishment. Establishment Conservatives. They see what's going on in the country and they're thinking, yeah, I want more of the anarchy and recklessness and destruction of the rule of law and socialism and stadism and tyranny,

because I'm the real Conservatives. People are lunatics. George Will you know, always he is always kind of a smarmy, little smarmy little schoolmarm you know, really was. I would never really liked that guy anyway. So I don't know him. I just don't I know his persona. I know the way that he presents himself the hall monitor of the conservative movement. So here we are. Now it's so clear that the Democrats are rooting for the violent mob that's

trying to tear down our federal courthouses. Who remember, we were lectured for the entirety of the Trump presidency about how Trump is undermining our institutions. Trump is destroying our institutions. That was the talking point. That was the line that you heard from so many people across the Democrat Party

in the media. And now here we have an instance of mobilized leftist Democrats who are literally trying to destroy an institution of the federal government, a federal courthouse in Portland, and whose side of the Democrats on the marauding barbarians.

I was surprised. My favorite thing I saw from Andy know, who's out there covering all this on the on the left coast, the west coast, there's this group that calls them, call themselves the Moms, and they're all wearing these yellow T shirts and they're making this big deal about how you know, we're moms, that we're here to protect the protesters.

And Andy knows them, he's familiar with them. He says a lot of them he recognizes from other anti protests where they were wearing the all black in there, and now they've done this all, Oh no, we're moms. He says that most of them aren't moms, aren't mothers, and many of them don't even identify as female. Seriously, but they're wearing yellow we are Mom's t shirts. That's how

honest this movement is. Oh yeah, they're moms. They're not mothers, and they don't even think they're female, but their mom's all right, that's what Andy's telling us. He's doing great work, he really is. But what does Biden have to say about this? In a normal political environment, the Democrats would put forward some statement like we do not support this destruction and violence. We call for this to end immediately. This is not who we are. But we also decry

the heavy handed tactics of trum blah blah blah blah blah. Right, that's what in a normal world where people were still saying, that's what we said, No, no, no, instead the problem, just as the lib leftists during the War on Terror always found any response to al Qaida was the cause of al Qaida. That was their mentality and that was their their primary talking point. Right, it's the fighting against terrorsm that creation. You go back, you remember this, that

was across the board. The Democrats were, hey, don't be too mean to don't do too much against Alkaida. You're causing more terrorists by killing members of al Qaida, that's what they would say. Well, now here, in a domestic political context, enforcing the law is causing lawlessness. That's what they're constantly saying. Now they're they're just they they pretend that none of this other stuff is even happening. Here,

here's Biden. We have a president who's determined to sow chaos and division, to make matters worse instead of better. We all remember the appalling scenes in front of the White House when peaceful protesters were gassed to make way for a Trump photoop. Now Homeland security agents with a without a clearly defined mandate or authority, arranging far from federal property, stripped of badges and insignia, and identifying markings

to detain people. They are brutally attacking peaceful protesters, including a US Navy veteran. It's just it's just stunning, isn't it. It's stunning. Oh no, it goes on. Of course, the US government has the right and duty to protect federal property. The Obama Biden administration protected federal property across the country without resorting to these egregious tactics. I'm without trying to stoke the fires of division in this country. We need

a president who brings us together. Blah blah blah. What a bunch of what a bunch of just malarkey. The borrow of Biden is m a big pilum a lark I'm actually not I like that word. I'm not giving that word to Biden. He's a pilum a larky. Yeah. During the Obama administration, whole neighborhoods were burned down. Yeah, they did a great job. The BLM movement started during the Obama administration, so Let's not pretend that they had

some good handle on things right. There wasn't some great wave of racial healing that occurred under the eight years of the Obama administration. In fact, what we saw was a focus from the President and his entire White House on individual cases like the George Zimmerman case, like with treyvon Martin and Mike Brown in ferguson making things worse by feeding into false narratives that their base wants to hear cops of the bad guys. Cops are killing on armed black men all the time, and this is a

systemic issue. Biden is because he has to be in order to get his base to turn out for him. The Democrat base is now clearly on the side of the angry, lawless, vicious mob. Not all Democrats are a part of that mob, but they are all rooting for the angry, vicious, attacking mob on the streets of cities across the country. I hope those independence and swing voters that are we're now going to start counting this election's

distance from today in weeks, not months. I think it's what six weeks or so before the first vote start being cast. It's not far away. I hope that enough Americans are watching this being the lawlessness, the disorder, the disarray, and the abject cowardice and cynical opportunism of the Democrat Party. That's who they are, That's what they are. They should be held to account because they're disgrace, folks, They're a disgrace. You're in the Freedom This is the Buck Sex and

Show podcast. You know. I didn't endorse Donald Trump, and in fact didn't vote for him for president, as you know, and I was always concerned that may. I was concerned, but was hopeful that perhaps he could get to the point where he could unite the country. I've now become convinced, absent a Damascus Road experience, I become convinced that he's not capable of this. He is not capable of being

a unifier. In fact, I become convinced that he doesn't know how to accept personal responsible and always find somebody else to blame. That's kasick if you're wondering who's a loser, and and it's also a surly fellow. I do not like him from the times I have interviewed him. I'm not like I usually give people a pretty wide berth of you know, I know they've had a long day sometimes whatever, but it's just a he's a jerk and and he's he's bitter because you think, yeah, you know,

I'm just a guy. You know, my dad was a maleman, and I'm gonna run the country now because you know, I just sort of do the whole fake folks you thing, and I tell the Libs what they want to hear, so they don't hate me as much as they hate other Republicans. And yeah, uh yeah, that's right. The Trump is not unifying the country, isn't it fascinating? Democrats are

both arsonist and firefighter in their own formulation. Here. They create all the disunity, right they they they create this, and then they turn around and say, look at all the disunity, Why can't Trump make us more unified? We will do a better job. We will do a better job. Liz Cheney, who is getting a lot of heat right now from some of my conservative brothers and sisters because she was spreading around the Russia bounty Taliban bounty story, which was just bull as I told you, right, didn't

the Buckser tell you that this is nonsense. They're killing as many Americans as they can for their own purposes without a bounty. Anyway, Chenney understands at least where Biden is during all this trying to hide from accountability. Play nineteen. We would see efforts and unfortunately, we would probably see success at defunding the police, the elimination of Second Amendment rights.

We'd see our national defense cut. We'd see a situation in which the production of fossil fuels would be significantly curtailed, moving towards a Green New Deal. We'd see probably the end of the filibuster in the Senate. We'd see efforts to make DC a state. We'd see efforts to expand the size of the Supreme Court and pack it with liberal justices. There's absolutely no question what's at stake in this election and how much worse off this nation would

be under a Biden, Schumer Pelosi regime. Now, it's also important to remember that Vice President Biden, as we all know, is in his basement. Vice President Biden is in his basement partly because he's concerned about his ability to make it through an interview, but also because he doesn't want to have to talk about his socialist agenda. They're hiding, They're hiding Biden in the basement, not from the virus so much as they are from the Democrats socialism. It's true.

What's it going to take for Democrats to admit that their approach, that their policies aren't working. People are dying from them, and all they have to do is change. Of course, they don't even have to

admit they were wrong in some of these cities. They don't have to say turns out that coddling criminals and downplaying the role of deterurating families in high crime communities, and the lack of emphasis on respect for authority and on educational they don't have to talk about all that. They could at least just say we're going to let police and cops do the jobs they need to do to keep more people safe. And I'm not saying that

the cops can They're not superheroes. They can't do everything, but they could certainly do more than they are in some of these cities if the political authorities in charge Democrats let them. But it is worth asking, what's it going to take for them to finally relent, and in an election year like we're in right now, as you can understand it, the answer is nothing. There's there's no level of violence, of anarchy of lawlessness in major US cities that would bring them to make any change from

the approved DNC talking points. And that's why I see a story like this and I mean it's a it's a gut punch. This is completely insane, you know. I remember I spent years of my life working on a CIA desks and two war zones and going to those war zones and covering covering it's not like a journalist, but you know, dealing with the issues of counterinsurgency and

terrorism in those countries. And that's that's what you think of when you hear I mean, a country that is in a failed state status is what you think of when you hear about something like this. This is from ABC News, which really is as liberal at CNN. Now. I've I've been seeing a lot of ABC's coverage and the way that they these big networks ABC, NBCCBS, the way that they present information news is every bit as democrat aligned as anything you'd see at CNN and MSNBC,

But I digress. Okay, here's what ABC writes. At least fifteen people. It was initially they said fourteen. Now it's at least fifteen people were shot outside a Chicago funeral home in a drive by shootout during a ceremony for a man who was killed in an earlier drive by shooting. According to the Chicago Police Department, the city's mayor and police officials are urging the public to come forward with

that information to help end the cycle of violence. An unknown number of people inside a vehicle at a crowd attending a funeral on West seventy ninth Street in Chicago. The individuals on the street exchanged gunfire with the people in the vehicle as people were coming out of the funeral home. The shots rang out like they were literally raining on them. Police said fifteen people, ten women and five men, whose ages range from twenty one to sixty five,

were taken to five different hospitals with gunshot wounds. Three women and three men were listed in serious condition. There were sixty shell casings found at the scene. This is out of a war zone. Fifteen people shot in one incident, fifteen at a funeral for heaven's sake, at a funeral they kill a guy, and then they find out when the funeral's gonna happen for that guy, and then they show up to kill all the people going to the funeral. How much more sick and evil can you be? But

you know what's gonna fix this. You know what's gonna fix this. Some protests over the killing of George Floyd. That's gonna fix this. The defunding of police. That's gonna fix this. The end of the carceral state, that's going to fix it. This is insane. We all know it. Democrats wholesale believe it. They believe it because they need, they desperately need some moral superiority to cling to in the current national political debate. Oh, we care so much.

We the Democrat party, care so much about oppressed minorities. We care so much about the history the legacy of slavery and racism in this country. The other side doesn't. That's a lie. The other side, Republicans, Conservatives. I'd say, people who don't suffer from extreme trumped arrangement syndrome, see what's happening in this country and say, if we're really concerned with saving lives. We need to get a handle on what's going on in these cities where the violence

keeps occurring. People die, families are ruined. Fifteen people shot, that's a lot of people. I mean a giant gun battle at a funeral. If if this was a news story about something that had happened outside of Jalellabad with the Taliban involved, people would say, whoa, it's not going our whole pacification of Afghanistan. It's not going very well. This is in Chicago, the third largest US city. New

York has spiking violence right now. Now. Look, New York is starting at a very it was handed over to the Moron de Blasio at a very low level. But New York City, which is you know, the center of now the defund the police movement for many Democrats. Shootings are up two one hundred and fifty two hundred and fifty three percent this year the first Now we're on seven months of this year, so we're past the halfway point this year last year. Direct comparison, arrests meanwhile are

down sixty two percent. Oh hold on a second, much more crime, far fewer arrest is. Can anyone see a correlation here? Minor crime summons is down eighty six percent, traffic tickets down seventy six percent. Criminals know they can get away with anything. That's the quote from the New York Daily News. People are it's just a free for all. Now. You know why, because if a cop comes up to you and says, hey, well, you know what are you doing? Stop?

Stop stealing that pair of sneakers from that store you just ran into, you know what the bad guy has to do now in order to get away, run and you know what happens if the cop is able to catch him, fight, elbow the cop kick him. That cop can't pull his weapon. Cop probably can't even pull his less than lethal can't pull a taser or a baton. So it's it's a foot race. And then it's a wrestling match. And if for some reason the cop is able to win the wrestling match, which won't always be

able to do, they'll be released. Because we have no no bail anymore in New York. It will be released, you know, within an hour back out on the street. Oh, the court's going to put out a summons for them to show up at the at the courthouse. Oh, I'm sure they're terrified about what's going to happen there. Who's going to go and arrest them for the low level offense and for not showing up the court? Nobody, Nobody

remember that Chesterton quote. I know a great society like ours, it implodes because it forgets the most obvious, the most important truth. And we're seeing that happen right now. And you understand the motivation for this, the lies that the Democrats have told, The lies they've told because it allows them to have a feeling of moral superiority to the other side. And then beyond that, the incentive that they have in misery. The Democrats are incentivized to create chaos

and miss despair in this country. And as we know it, it's all as sue. As soon as Joe Biden comes into office, there'll be new stories about you know, the economic recovery really is under way. You know, maybe we really need to learn to live with this virus and stop cowering and fear. You know, maybe we're all going to be okay. Actually, after Biden wins, I mean I could set the clock to it right now. It couldn't be any now. I'm not saying Biden's gonna win, but

that's the point here, that's the purpose. You think that these Democrats care about what they're doing to the country in the interim, about the people who will suffer. The business is destroyed, the livelihood's ruined, the people who will die, They do not care. They do not care because they also reject any responsibility for it. Somehow, they reject reason and accountability because that gives them political advantage. They don't have to debate, and they don't have to be held

responsible for anything. They just get to run around and screaming and saying it's all Trump's fault, It's all Trump's fault, or my favorite, say that whatever the problem is is the result of the coronavirus, and then the coronavirus is Trump's fault, right, it's the transitive property of coronavirus. Trump blaming whatever the issue is in your city. Oh, it's COVID, that's the problem, and Trump is the reason why COVID so bad. So it's Trump. Oh, isn't that a Isn't

that quite a neat trick they've pulled off. Here is Dublasio saying exactly that the problem here is and this is the mayor of New York, the guy who thought he was going to be the Democrat nominee. He's a total lunatic. And here's what he says about why there's spiking. I told you the numbers. He can't hide from it anymore. New York is in bad shape right now. And here's what he's saying, Play clip seven. We have to we have to make our streets safe as the number one

responsibility to anyone in executive office. And you're right. In New York City, we've been the safest big city in America for years. We've had a very tough few months, no doubt, and it is directly related to the coronavirus, the dislocation it's caused in our society, the fact that our court system is not functioning yet, so many factors that have been absolutely aberrant for just the last four or five months. But we will beat it back because we've done that for a quarter century in this city.

And Joe, the key point is we will do it. Yeah, let's just use the most boiler plate bs, politician phrases, and let's pretend like this didn't all happen. Because de Blasios are moron who has turned his back on the NYPD. New York is in bad shape, Chicago is in bad shape, Seattle, Portland, Atlanta. How many cities have to effectively lose control or we lose control of them. Law enforcement, the state no longer

really able to protect people and defend them. Remember, for every shooting that happens, for every store that's burned down, every burglary that happened. At burglary that happens, the neighborhood, the people around that feel less safe. That's an intrusion on the public psyche. Right When these bad things happen, when there's a surge in them, it affects everybody who lives in that area. Now they all have to be worried.

I have to walk female relatives at nights across Midtown Manhattan for safety reasons that I haven't had to do that in a very long and it's completely understandable, it's completely legitimate that that would be a move that I would make, right that that's now an expectation that I have. You know, I will not allow females that I'm related to.

You will not allow my girlfriend. I will not allow them to go through certain areas at night by themselves because oh, you might say, well, are they really you know, it's something really horrible gonna happen. They're gonna be harassed. They're going to have vagrance on the street come up to them, say disgusting things to them, demand money from them, threatened to grab them. That happens all the time here now, So it's top to bottom, folks. It's we read about

the murders. We hear about the destabilization from the worst with the worst crimes, but it filters through all of society. This is their openings. Here's what you have to remember. They were promising for years to their base, the Democrat promise. The central thesis in the Trump era was that Donald Trump was a moron who would crash the economy and lead us into war, and we would we would all be miserable from that, right, and it would be so clear he was. It was ridiculous that he had won

this election against how Wow Clinton. Ridiculous, right, that was the central thesis. Well, they were wrong. The economy was booming. He did not lead us into wars. He actually had a very effective foreign policy. He was right on China didn't build the wall, which I'm pretty annoyed about, folks, But we'll talk about that another day. Don't tell me, Oh he's building it. Buck. Not enough, not enough wall, Well,

we're just you know, I live in reality, folks. Not enough wall, and you know I'm on the president's team. Not enough wall and way too much criminal justice reform. But other than that, it was a lot of good things. But he was so much more successful in those first three years than they anticipated, and it just was no longer tenable. Even the lunatic libs who were trying to they were trying to remember say it was the Obama economy. That was the whole story. It was the Obama economy.

They were just desperate for something because the results were so positive. And you and I, people that supported Trump, were in a position where we were saying, you know, look look at the results, look at the scoreboard. And then we turn around and say, Trump got it done. And so what do they do? They make us all miserable. That's their plan. You're in the Freedom Hud. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. You know what we really need right now? We need the legal wisdom and political

insight of Whoopie Goldberg. Yeah, let's get some of that during this crisis. Play thirteen. We sort of felt it a little bit when we've seen other sort of riots breakout and we've seen them bust out troops, but this is different. This feels different. This feels like a planned attack against the American people, and it's very specific and it's very targeted. The planned attack. I want to be very clear, the planned attack. And one of my favorite things and Tucker, like, I don't want to want to

be like doing two of my Joe. Tucker has been amazing on his show lately because you know, but he has his last ninety days or so, has just been in fago put. One of my favorite things he said is at Whoopy Goldberg not funny. I don't know why we've all I've never heard of say anything funny in my life, but we're all told, ah, she's so funny. Now she's supposed to be insightful. But the attack that she's talking about is federal law enforcement enforcing the law.

That's not the mobs of lunatics burning things down, attacking, attacking strangers, attacking businesses and police, you know, looting Starbucks, setting fire to buildings, breaking into drug stores. That's not the attack. The attack are the law enforcement officers saying hey, stop doing that illegal thing. These people are nuts, They're absolutely nuts. And I just want to note notice that they're talking now about fascism and the Stazi that Trump

is deploying. And you had that member of cong I think it was Congresswoman Wilson saying that maybe these federal agents are the ones that are gonna help Trump stay even if he loses. They're saying all this crazy stuff. Meanwhile Democrat governors and mayors are like, stay home, shut down your business, can't see your friends, can't see your family until we say so. And they don't talk about tyranny there with the whole COVID nonsense that they're pulling

right now. Oh, we're gonna move all the metrics. We're gonna move all the numbers so that it's it's actually just there, say so when we get our lives back. It's not based on anything else. That's what Democrats are doing. No tyranny there. Thanks for listening to The Bus Sesson Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the iHeart Radio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. We all know the case of the mccloskey's in Saint Louis. It

turned into a major national news story. Husband and wife, the mccloskey's, outside of their property in Saint Louis, with lawfully owned firearms, telling the mob, or just showing the mob that they were willing to defend themselves even after threats against their lives and their property. Well, now we have the prosecutor in Saint Louis bringing a felony charge, which clearly is sending a message to other people who might defend their property all across the country defend themselves.

But she's not the only one who gets to say in this. We're very pleased to be joined now by the Missouri Attorney General from the state of Missouri, Attorney General Eric Schmidt. Mister Schmidt, thank you so much. We appreciate you calling in great to be with you so you can just tell us where does the case stand right now? Charges have been brought, walk us through what the charges really are, what the allegation is, and what

the mccloskey's face. Sure so. Earlier this week, local prosecutor Kim Gardner, who has jurisdiction over state charges essentially in that jurisdiction in the city of Saint Louis, filed criminal charges against bull from mccluskys, and essentially the charges are an unlawful use of a weapon, which means they're brandishing a you know, a deadly weapon in a threatening manner. The problem Kim Gardner has with those charges is that the case should have never been brought because of Missouri's

castle doctrine. And just to kind of take a step back and you look at Missouri law. First of all, the fundamental right of self defense is well established. It really predates our constitution. It's a natural right. The founders knew that, which is why the Second Amendment is in the Bill of Rights in Missouri in our first constitution eighteen twenty that was incorporated in and every other constitution we've had, and as recently as twenty fourteen, Missouri voters

overwhelmingly expanded those Second Amendment rights. And the creature of statute is issuing here is the castle doctrine, and Missouri has perhaps the most expansive castle doctrine in the country. It means that you know, if you're being threatened, as mccluskeys, you know, say they were here, you have a right to not only defend your life and anyone else's life, your family members, lives, but also not just your home,

your castle, but your property. And so given those facts, the statutes are very clear that it's not even an affirmative defense to the unlawful use of a weapon charge. It means it's not a crime at all if you're if you're you know, fall under the castle doctrine, which is clear here. So look, this is nothing more than

a political prosecution. And in a time where you have you know, calls to to fund the police and rising violent crime rates across the country, including in Saint Louis, which recorded has well over one hundred and thirty murders already this year, seventy five percent increase this July versus last July. This local prosecutor has released inmates charged with violent crimes, using COVID as an excuse for people who

were you know, violent, charged with violent crimes. To target law abiding citizens for exercising their fundamental right of self defense is outrageous, which is why I felt like I needed to stand up do something. We've entered the case and asked for the court to dismiss the charge. Right, let's let's let's jump into that part of this now.

We're speaking to the Attorney General for the State of Missouri, Eric Schmidt, on about this McCloskey case where the local attorney for Saint Louis has brought a charge here, a felony charge of unlawful brandishing of weapons. Okay, you are weighing in on this as the attorney general for the state. What is your position, what are the mechanisms at your disposal, and what's happening right now? Sure, so the mccoskeys have their own counsel, and you know they'll be defending the mccoskeys.

But I'm coming in as the attorney general on behalf of all Missourians because I'm constitutionally charged not only protecting the constitution, but when there's an issue that affects all Missourians like this, would I have a right to come into a case. And what we're alleging here is that if you have a situation where law abiding citizens are exercising a fundamental right, the right to self defense, and

they're being criminally prosecuted for that. If you think about that, the government wants to come in and put you in jail for four years up to four years if you're exercising that right, that could have a chilling effect on these constitutionally protected right of self defense that all Missourians enjoy. So the specter of this case, you know, in its tendency at any point in time, sends a very clear message to law abiding citizens that you exercise that right

of self defense at your own peril. And if this prosecutor wants to come in and put you in jail, that's what she's going to do. And so you know, that's why we're coming in to assert that that you can't move forward the prosecution like this that has no basis in law. It's a political prosecution. It could have

a chilling effect on others exercising their constitutional rights as well. Now, why do you think that the prosecutor Gardner, and we would call it a district attorney here, she's the states state's attorney for Saint Louis, right, So why why would she offer in that initial statement, why bring a felony charge?

But even saying the statement, we're open to deferred prosecute for this as well, is this just is this a prosecutor's gambitt to essentially just get an admission of wrongdoing, show what side she's on, and then not actually bring this to trial. Why do that? I mean, that seems a little bit that that seemed to be quite a noteworthy addition to her initial statement. It's a telling common, isn't it. It sort of indicates that maybe she doesn't believe this is even a crime in the first place,

which it's not. I mean, the statutes in Missouri are very clear that the unlawful use of a weapon charge isn't a crime if you're you know, fall under the castle doctor, if you're defending yourself, as the mcclows keys were in this case. So it has no basis. It's, you know, a purely a political prosecution. She has a primary in two weeks for her seat, which also enters

sort of the equation here. And while literally, you know, dozens and dozens and dozens of homicides go uncharged in Saint Louis, this case got to the top of the staff. Um you know is again it's it's just it reeks of politics. And look, the reality is people who run for office make statements all the time. The difference here is this is a prosecutor that's bringing criminal charges against

law abiding citizens, potentially putting them in jail. She said, what she said, but they comes with a four year prison signs potentially, Um, that's a very very dangerous road

to go down. Is it possible, if we're speaking to Eric Schmidt, who is the attorney general for the state of Missouri, everyone, is it possible if uh, if this goes forward and they and the mccloskey's take that they're lawyers and they're represented by lawyers, if they take this to trial and we're to lose, the governor could pardon them,

correct under Missouri law. Correct, Although the point has been made recently that you know, the governor is up for election, um this fall, um, you know, and so look, none of these things are certain, which is why we felt and I'm glad the governor is you know certain. That's Governor Mike Parson, right, he is a Republican, but he's upper reelection, as he said, correct, And he's made that statement, and I think it's it's good that he's weighed in here.

But the truth is, my job is to try to nip this thing in the butt because as this thing moves forward, as we allegend our brief, the specter or the the idea that this in a very highly publicized case that someone exercising their fundamental right of self defense can be prosecuted for. That has a chilling effect on others, and that's a legitimate state interest for us to be in the case. What do you think needs to be done? I want to pivot a little bit too, to another

component of law enforcement in your state. Saint Louis really got on the national radar as when it comes to crime and valent crime because of the Mike Brown Mike Brown incident which led to the Black Lives Matter movement, and we know there was a lot of violence and rioting and neighborhoods. I believe it was East Saint Louis. What do you think, I mean, if you're continuing to work with state law enforcement authorities, what could be done

to bring that murder rate down in Saint Louis? And are you open to working more closely with federal law enforcement agencies as President Trump has been pushing for in recent weeks. It's a great question, and I think the truth of the matter is criminals have been emboldened for a variety of reasons. You know, if you want to take it from a prosecutor's perspective or local prosecutor if

they don't believe there any consequences to their actions. I mean, the city of Saint Louis, there's over three hundred and sixty carjackings every year. That's you know, one a day a carjacking where someone's being terrorized and maybe killed in the process, and a grandfather who's lived in a neighborhood his whole life, you know, having to go through that. You've got children being killed, mothers and father's loss. It's

reached epidemic like levels. And if a prosecutor doesn't show willingness to take on violent crime of these series, it's going to embolden criminals. And that's sort of what we're seeing from perspective as Attorney General. We actually in Kansas City, Operation Legend is moving forward. The governor had spoken to the President about this and the Attorney General, William barr Is, authorized federal law enforcement officers to work on violent crime in the Kansas City or Kansas City has over one

hundred murders this year. It's on pace for a record number this year. So you're seeing this across the country. In Missouri is you know, no different. So I think at that level of cooperation is important for my perspective as AG. Very early on in my term, I reached out to the US attorney in both the Saint Luis area in Kansas City are and we've done something very unique here. We've we have unprecedented level of cooperation. We have lawyer because we don't local prosecutors don't really ask

us to help in prosecuting violent crime. I guess because we have a bit of a different worldview, we work with those US attorneys. So I have lawyers from my office who've been cross deputized as assistant US attorneys so they can help prosecute violent crime in federal court with a where the penalties are often stiffer. And we've got some cooperation with those US attorneys. So you know, we've had well over a couple hundred of charges and indictments

from that. I can I ask you about that because I've been trying to and we're speaking to uh sorry, mister Attorney General of Missouri. I'm getting so much worthwhile information here that I'm bouncing around a little bit. But I've been telling folks from when I worked at the NYPD Intelligence Division on loan from the CIA, which is

a federal intelligence organization everybody knows. But when I was at the NYPD on loan from the CIA and what was called a hide a high intensity drug trafficking area that was set up with d EA, FBI, Customs, and Border you name. We had every we had US marshals, everybody co located and working together on different issues. So when I hear all this pushback on exactly what you're you're talking about, they say, well, the federal government doesn't

have a role in these kinds of crimes. Just just give people a sense of when you're when you have cross deputized people from your state state Attorney's General office with these other federal agencies, what are the kind of crimes that come under their purview? Because I think people think, oh, federal crime, it must be you know, major drug trafficking. Terrorism. There's a lot more than that, isn't There? There are?

I mean, I will tell you a lot of the because you're you're, you know, exactly on the point here. Jurisdiction things are different, and the state you know, is generally prosecuting homicides and things like that, but um, you know, the FEDS can go after carjackings, and so we work on those kinds of cases. We also have, um I'll tell you the lion's share of felon in possession of firearms.

So you get people who are causing a lot of problems in neighborhoods, you get them off the streets, and so that's been a lion's share of the prosecutions and so m you know, we felt like it was a an important partnership to have that this is an all hands on deck moment. That these sort of um turf battles that maybe get fought o their places, there's no room for that right now. I mean, you've got spiking, violent crime, racing. You look and you see what's happening

on the news every night, just this lawlessness. It's not People have a have a right to be safe, and people are being terrorized in their communities and it's wrong. So I think we all need to kind of put all those things aside and work together. So on one hand, you know, we're working as closely as we possibly can. I think Missouri's partnership with you at the US Attorney's Office and all those federal agencies you mentioned, the FBI, DA,

US Marshals, that's a great level of cooperation. What we're not seeing is these local prosecutors sometimes, like Ken Gardner, they're not interested in that. They have their own agenda, they're not interested in prosecuting violent crime, and so we kind of have to work around that. Eric Schmidt, Attorney General of Missouri, Sir, thank you so much for joining us and sharing your expertise, and good luck to you. Thank you. Buck going to be with him. You're in

the freedom of mind. This is the Buck Sex and Show podcast. Their permanent shutdown was really never an option in terms of what we're doing right now. This would be completely unsustainable, produce stabilitating economic fallback, and lead to catastrophic public health consequences. There are consequences to shutdowns, and we've saved potentially millions of lives by doing the initial shutdown. But now we're very aware of this disease. We understand

the disease to a large extent. Nobody's going to maybe ever fully understand it. But we'll end up with a cure, We'll end up with therapeutics, we'll end up with a vaccine very soon. All three. We're instead asking Americans to use masks, socially distanced and employ vigorous hygiene wash your hands every chance you get well sheltering high risk populations. We are imploring young Americans to avoid packed bars and other crowded indoor gatherings. Be safe. The President gave a

COVID press conference. Right he's back to doing these briefings. I don't know how long he's going to continue. I'm very happy that he did, because he established some really important context for all the discussions we're having about what do we do now? Where are we now? Now? I

just checked the CDC website. Here we are. It's been almost three weeks since I last talked you about this, and I said, I'm just I said, I told you that if it turned out that there was a huge spike in debts similar to what we saw in the March April time frame, I would come on the show when I would tell you, Okay, you know, I must have missed something, or we got to revisit what's going on here, or well we had In the last twenty four hours, the CDC recorded fifty seven thousand, seven hundred

and seventy seven cases, four hundred and seventy three new deaths. Now, that's a lot of people dying from as from a disease. Right now, I get that, but it is nowhere near where we were. It's down seventy five percent. It's what the President said, it is breafing down seventy five percent. And we've had all of these states that are reopened and you still have a death rate that's down seventy

five percent. Why is that right? We're being told, Oh, no, it's because we didn't All this bad stuff is happening because we didn't mask up enough. We didn't wear enough masks. Oh well, you know, it turns out the president before I even get into the mask issue, the President's even saying now, he's like, look, you know, if he can write circumstances, wear a mask. Play clip two. We're asking everybody that when you are not able to socially distanced, wear a mask, get a mask. Whether you like to

mask or not, they have an impact. They'll have an effect, and we need everything we can get. Saying, whether you like it or not, it'll have an impact. I'm not as certain as the President is that it will have an impact. But I also I have I've got masks. I've got them by my front door. I've got rubber gloves, I've got a mask. You know, I'm you know, I'm trying to play by the rules here as much as I can, and I really do it because in New York everyone so and I don't do it outside, so

that's that's a non starter. I'm not wearing a mask outside. Unless I'm trying to sneak into some of the BLM protests and not have them punch me in the face, then a mask is great. But I don't wear a mask outside. I wear a mask going to go indoors to places or when I'm around other people who are going to be freaked out, which in New York if you're don't wear a mask right now, in New York, people look at you like you're walking around, you know, naked,

smothered in grape jelly or something. I mean, they look at you like, what the heck are you doing? It? Is you? You know? New York is like mask Central. You got to wear a mask or else people, I don't do it outside. And to that, I just say, I'm within the guidance of President saying if you can't socially distance, so I socially distance. No one is going to get First of all, I don't have the virus. Okay. Second of all, no one's going to get the virus

from walking past me outside in open air. If they could, we would have had an infection rate that was you know, ninety percent of the country. Anybody who had gone outside would already have this thing in the last six months. Anybody, Okay, he can't get the virus that way. We know you're not going to get the virus that way. So now we should look at how how do people get this virus. And I've talked to you about intra familial and no soacomeal fun word to use. People are gonn know socomeal,

what is that? There's a coomeo means intra hospital transmission. And remember that hospital infections, hospital acquired infections kill an average of eighty to one hundred thousand people a year in the United States every year. That's before the pandemic. So you want to be really careful in hospitals. You have a lot of people with compromise immune systems, and obviously a concentration of a lot of diseases, which is why again when Trump went to Walter Reid wearing a mask,

I get it. You know, there are places where additional precautions make sense. But Trump is not this, you know, anti mask a zealot. The left pretendens he is. But it doesn't matter where the truth is. We all know what the agenda is. Folks. Thanks for listening to the Bus Sesson Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts,

the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. Provide an update on our response to the China virus and what my administration is doing to get the outbreak in the Sun Belt under control. Seems largely in Sun Belt, but could be spreading. All Trump has to do is remind people that this virus originated in China and that the global spread of it is due in no small part to the dishonesty, the cover up, the recklessness of

the Chinese Communist Party. All he has to do is bring that up, which is just a fact, and liberals lose their minds? Right, Why is that? Shouldn't we all be united against the Chinese Communist Party is putting has put a million wagers in concentration camps. The Chinese Communist Party is engaged in the greatest theft of trade, secrets, intellectual property, and with that wealth, right, we are increasing

in information economy. Info is wealth that they are stealing from the rest of the world, most notably from US constantly. They run an oppressive totalitarian regime. They do not allow free speech, they do not care about human rights, and somehow we can't even count on Libs to be united with their fellow Americans US against China. No, they don't want it to be blamed on China. They want the whole COVID situation to be placed at the foot of

the White House and on Donald Trump's shoulders. More specifically, it's all his fault because they think that is the single greatest way to advocate for Joe Biden to become the next president of United States. That's what they really that's what they really truly believe. That is what their thought process is on all of this stuff. And Nancy Pelosi makes this explicit it she said, Guy ziph yeah, says is it trumps. Let's let's call it the Trump virus.

She calls it the friggin Trump virus. Blake clip ten. But I think with the President's comments today, he recognized the mistakes that he has made by now embracing mask wearing, and the recognition this is not a hoax. It is a pandemic that has gotten worse before it will get better because it is an action. And in fact, clearly it is the Trump virus, that Trump virus, that's what

she calls it. I think we should call the Pelosi virus because this stupidity, the political stupidity that has gripped this nation now, that does not have a realistic view of a COVID nineteen pandemic, that supports these idiot protesters running all over the streets, throwing rocks at and all. This that's a virus of the brain. We could perhaps call that brain virus, also known as Trump derangement syndrome, the Pelosi virus, right, the Pelosi virus. I think that's

a fair way to describe it. And what is if I'm going to diagnose the Pelosi virus, it is to be a lib who sees the world through this bizarre lens of everything is Trump's fault and everything going wrong would be made better if you put the quasi well, let's just say too old for the job. Joe Biden in the role of commander in chief and the most powerful job in the world, and cops aren't the good guys. Cops are the bad guys. I mean, you go down the whole list. You know, we need a green new deal,

we need more socialism. That's the Pelosi virus. It's a brain virus, takes over your mind, and it doesn't make

anything better. In fact, it makes everything markedly worse. But as I've been saying, and as you know, the single most important takeaway that the Democrats want anyone to have during all this is the blame, the mountains of blame that they are putting on top of the Trump administration with this, even though as we know, it is the China virus, and it comes from China, and it is hurting the entire world, and the US response to this has not been that bad, although if you took New

York and New Jersey out of the equation, the US response to this virus has been incredible. Actually, it's two Democrats states, one of which I am currently sitting in, that are the reason that we've had a you know, a response to this virus that isn't much better than

effectively all of the major meaning large European countries. You know, Germany might be on a per capita basis right alongside US but we would be far better than Italy, France, Germany, the UK, you name it, if it wasn't for New York and New Jersey, which got hit so badly in the early days of this. I am frustrated right now

because I think what's going to happen is now. Now Trump has relented a bit and said, look, wear masks under certain circumstances in certain times, and they're going to take that as oh he's it's such a big backtracking. And look what he's doing now. We're seeing the curve is already bending in these other in these states, and it's not has nothing to do with enhanced restrictions and lockdowns. The curve is bending downward because this is what happens

with this virus. The susceptible population gets infected quickly. If younger, healthier people get infected, they clear the virus. As long as you can protect people with compromise immune systems and in the high risk age group, you will have a relatively low mortality even with a very high degree of spread. This was always Look Sweden did this, and Sweden never locked As we know, you could always go to restaurants,

you could always go to cafes. Sweden took this approach and they are in the middle of the pack in Europe, and that includes countries where mask wearing became a religion and lockdown became extreme. You know, I'm seeing there's a spy.

Australia has had very severe COVID nineteen lockdown at different points, and Australia is now having a surgeon cases, right, I mean, this is just we like to believe that we can control this, or people some people like to believe that we can control this, and at the end of the day, we just we can't. We can try to manage the flow, but we cannot defeat. We cannot stop the disease in its tracks with our actions. That is a lie. It's a lie. It's just not true. And then that brings

me also to the fight over schools. The fact that Democrats are in favor of keeping kids out of schools is the clearest example we've had of the politicization of this issue, the removal of science from the equation and the enhancement of politics as the primary method of making a determination. Since we had the Black Lives Matter protests out in the streets and we were being told by public health authorities who had been very vocal for months

about how we all need to lock down and social distance. Well, but this is like really important because we like have to defeat racism. So it's like really important we do this right now, even if it means people spread the virus, because racism is totally going to be defeated by these yelling, shrieking morons gathered by the thousands all over the country, right, that's really going to make everything better. So now we have the school issue, where once again there's no science

based argument here. The argument is really just a question of what's going to be politically damaging for Republicans, for Trump, and what do Democrats think they can get away with. I mean, here's the mayor of New York, the largest school system in the country. Public school system is of course in New York. Here's the mayor saying that he's got a clear schedule in mind for when we can go back to five day a week schools. Play clip eight.

Seventy five percent of New York City public school parents want our kids back in school. They agree with your point that you're going to learn much better in school, that the kids need that for their development. And their future. Everyone cares about safety and health. So the way I look at is look right now, New York City has had extraordinary success after going through hell in March and April, the people a city really fought back against this disease.

They've been very disciplined the face coverings of social distancing. We've been really tough in the restrictions we've had in place, and now consistently our health indicators show that we would be in a position to open up school. But we're going to make that judgment when we get right up on the beginning of school in September. That's when we'll make the final decision. The day we get to the vaccine is the day that will really go to full

five day a week normal instruction in our schools. This is exactly what we were told and what we believe there was agreement on from the beginning. We were told that there would not be a lockdown until vaccine approach to this virus. That's what we were led to believe. And now you have people like Deblasio straight up saying school lockdown or least real school does not happen again until there's a vaccine. They're saying it out loud. Now now it's all, oh, no, we have to keep doing

this until there's a vaccine. Still can't go to the gym in New York, Still can't dine indoors in New York, as well as a lot of other places. I know that Texas, Florida, Arizona, California. Those you're listening in those states, you've got all. You got your own prop Georgia. You've got a rough situation happening in all those states now with COVID nineteen, with the restrictions, as well as from

the surge in cases. Although we're not seeing the big stir, Why aren't we seeing the big And I have a theory that I keep promoting to you as to why we don't see a big surgeon fatalities from the virus. What does the left say, Oh, we didn't mask enough. Well, hold on, we have all these new cases. Why hasn't

the mortality rates spiked. Well, I've told you it's because younger, healthier people who clear the virus are getting this, and there's also greater immunity in the population than people initially realized that. As long as we're protecting seniors and people who are at risk. You're gonna have low mortality even with high spread. Now what a Democrats say, look it down, wear a mask that'll save us all. Really won't, but they say, they say this anyway, even though doctor foul,

we haven't heard from a fouch today. Where is the fouch? Oh fouci, oh fauci? Where four art thou fouci? I know wherefore means why not where? But what doesn't matter? He is the fouch. For those of you who missed them, say, look, we gotta we gotta get the kids back into school. You gotta, you know, take those little kids. You gotta say, hey, wash your hands, keep a distance. No, no, you know, don't don't. Don't rub your nose and touch somebody else

with it or whatever. That's gross, unsanitary, also could spread a virus. You don't want to do that. Use a tissue, you know, don't be don't be a little barbarian um. Here's the fouch play clip nine. Now, in general, when I think about that, I want to take a forty thousand foot look and say, as a fundamental principle, I do agree that we should try as best as we

possibly can to get the children back to school. Because of the well documented, you know, secondary downstream ripple effects that are negative, particularly on parents and on the children when you keep the bead at school. Gotta get the kids back to school, that's right. We do have to get the kids back to school, We really do. We've got to get them back into school. But Democrats want to slow roll at why. We all know why, we all know what's going on here, we all understand what

the stakes are. And that's that's why Pelosi saying what she has been saying, she's just it's it's a Trump virus. At Trump is like he's Trump is the reason everyone's dying. That's what she says. That's what she says. She actually blames him for death. Pelosi is blaming the president for causing death. Play ten well. I think with the president's comments today, he recognized the mistakes that he has made by now embracing mask wearing, and the recognition this is

not a hoax. It is a pandemic that has gotten worse before it will get better because it is an action and in fact, clearly it is the Trump virus, the Trump virus. No, I think we should call it the Pelosi virus. I don't think we should let Nancy Chardonnay socialist Nancy get away with this nonsense. Enough is enough, you're in the freedom. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Look,

we'll see where this ends up. We still don't know the details of this initial proposal, but as it's written to my right now, I'm not only a no, I'm a hell no. And sadly I think this is envisioned as an opening gambit. Everyone expects the Democrats to come back with a huge wish list of spending and this is the swamp and a feeding frenzy. Everybody's lobbyist has their hand out saying well, look, if you're spending trillions of dollars, I want to get some. And it's not right.

It's it is. When we've got over twenty percent of the working population in this country sitting at home without a job, our focus should be on getting You know, just six months ago we were in an historic economic boom, wit the lowest unemployment in fifty years, and due to this pandemic that escape from communist China due to their cover up, forty million Americans are hurting right now. We need to have our priority getting them back to work

and getting them able to provide for their families. Ted Cruiz is right, we got to stop this. Uncle Sam just writes, everybody checks mentality. We got to get everybody up and going and working again. I mean, I haven't taken a day off, and I look, I'm fortunate to have a job, and I get that, and I am thankful for it. But I mean, you know, there are people who have been continuing on with their work every day.

I mean, I haven't taken a day off since the pandemic started, and I'm looking around that I'm thinking there are a lot of people that have continued essential workers, a lot of people that have continued doing what they do, or they're working from home, and they're even more comfortable. They like it even more, it's even better for them. But regardless, we gotta get back to work as a country,

this has to happen. We don't. We don't sustain. We cannot sustain what's going on right now with the trillions and trillions of dollars that we're spending. If it were possible, I just would would tell you to work through this thought experiment with me. If it were possible to do this, why wouldn't we just have everyone stay home and the government just keeps writing checks. The government just keeps sending you it. And why make it only six hundred dollars

of unemployment insurance? Why not a cool Why not a grand al? Why not a thousand dollars? Why not ten grand? I mean, as much as producer Mark even loves this show, if he could stay home, well he's already home, But if he could stay home and not do any work and make ten grand a week, I would have to really ask him, very very nicely to keep doing his job anyway. That would be hard. I would do whatever I could to make you fire me. Here you go. I mean, look, ten grand a weeks a lot of money, buddy,

you know what I mean. I couldn't. I wouldn't even be able to be mad at you. So you know, at some boy, and see, at some point we understand that there's a clear limit to what we can spend, and that there are there are downsides to this, and there are there are consequences to this. It's not just oh, we do this and everything is going to be fine. So I think that's very important for everyone to see. Ted Cruze understands this, and we've got to get back

to work. And he also said in a sound bite very similar to this, that we all know right that after this is what we're all saying on the right, everyone's paying attention, the problems get much less. If Biden wins. The day after he wins, then we can have a Then you'll see the beginnings of some reasonable that it's not entirely some reasonableness when it comes to the economy and spending and getting people back to work. Oh and then a whole lot of socialism as well. But but

at least they'll say, yeah, we can beat this virus. Well, we'll be able to defeat this thing together now now that old man Biden's calling the shots, which is a terrifying thought saying.

So, so let's let's jump into this, shall we. BLM is a movement that's been around for a few years. We've been talking today on the show extensively about what's going on in Chicago, Portland, Seattle, violence on the streets, and here in New York City crime is rising. And I've been saying, what exactly has

BLM accomplished up to this point? And I would say, all the things you could point to really would be negative. What is the movement? I mean, and therefore not really accomplishments, right, But what is the movement as it stands today? What has BLM become? Rob Well, I think that you have to understand that Black Lives Matter BLM at this point is and is a corporation. It's a business. This is an organization, right, So this is something that has generated

untold amounts of money. It's almost like this grift where they got I think Bank of America gave them a billion dollars. They're getting hundreds of millions of dollars from all of these corporations because they have managed to kind of define and brand blackness, right, So what it is accomplishing is basically a whole lot of chaos on the streets. They're definitely accomplishing getting a lot of angry potential Democratic

voters riled up. And it is accomplished making their founders in the vast majority of the infrastructure of people that are fundraising them for them very very very very very wealthy. Now what they've accomplished for the average black American on the street, I have no clue, you know where I'm at right now. In we we have protesters and they come out, they come out every single night. Are not entirely sure what they're protesting for or about. They're very angry,

they're very sad, and a little emotionally disturbed. And not to tell you so, one of the protesters came into the neighborhood that I was in. There were there were a big group and they were very confrontational with people black, white, Latino whatever that were just enjoying their evening, and they were so controversial and it's so confrontational and so sort

of emotional about it. I saw this this young black girl just screaming and crying, and on one hand, I have a lot of empathy for that, but on the other hand, I have a lot of anger because it's so cynical among the puppet masters of the left, and this is what they do. They exploit black pain, suffering, feelings of hopelessness for votes. It's it's actually very despicable, Buck, and I don't think that it's a bad thing to

really speak out against that. And they're certainly not hoping the black family, because we can go on the Black Black Lives Matter website. They're one of their major goals is to dismantle the structure of the nuclear family. And we all know that African Americans, like all Americans, are vastly more likely to become wealthy, successful winners, and life

when they come from a two parent household. So what dismantling the two parent family structure is doing for Black Americans, I have no idea, but like I said, it's get a lot of people wealthy. It's making a lot of people rich. And as always, when it comes to how the left uses African Americans, it's the ones on the street that are suffering them. By the way, BLM is not doing anything about violence in Chicago, They're certainly not

doing anything about that. They're certainly not doing anything about violence in the communities that are plagued by this stuff as they seek to defund the police. So look as it stands right now, as a movement, organization, corporation, whatever you want to call it, I think it's something that is destructive and I don't allow them to define my blackness. So I'm not going to be afraid to say that.

We're speaking to Rob Smith, author and veteran author of Always a Soldier and contributor to the First So Rob, as a as a member of the black community, you I'm going to assume have conversations with other people in this country who are black, and there's probably a willingness or or an exchange of ideas that you can engage in where you know, because you can speak from that perspective,

whereas I can't. And I just wonder, do you really when you're speaking to individuals who are black and who do believe in this movement or who do think that this is all for the good? Do they believe things like when Lebron James tweeted out that black people are literally being hunted every time they leave their homes. Do they believe that or do they understand or understand these things? The movement slogans as exaggerations meant to get people mobilized,

but they don't really take it literally. Mean when you're talking about a young a young black woman crying, for example, while confronting people and screaming about BLM stuff, it makes me wonder, what do what do members of the black community that adhere to this movement ideology? What do they really believe? You know? How much of a conversation. So I was having a conversation. I was in Minneapolis about

a month ago for a go funding. We raised so much money to help rebuild Minneapolis, and I'll be going there next month to deliver those checks to those small business owners. But I was at the George Floyd Memorial and I spoke with the young black man just off the cup. You didn't know who I was, and I was conservative, didn't really care. We were just talking as basically two men. And what struck me was when we started talking about that stuff. And I don't get very

confrontational these conversations. To me, it's more of a exchange of ideas, right, So he really believed this stuff, and he really believed that as a black man, you know, the police are out to get me. And not only that, but this stuffarts affecting how people see the world in general, right, because we moved from the BLM stuff and we just

started talking about entrepreneurship because I believe in Buck. You and I have had these conversations and I thank you for leading me in the right direction and some of these conversations. But entrepreneurship is the way for all of us, black white, with teenager doesn't matter, I think, to build well, to become successful. And when I tried to talk to this this young black man about this, it's like every single thing that I said. When I said you can't,

he would tell me why he couldn't write. And so it was just this back and forth and back and forth, and by the end of I think it was a forty minute conversation at the George Floyd Memorial. It was hot out there that day. I think that we were both offset and it took that long just to break down these middle barriers up here that told him that no matter what he does, because he's black in America, he's going to be a professional victim. He's going to

be hunted, he'll never be successful. Now, I'm not going to sit here and say that it is not harder for some people than others, because that's not true. I haven't had the easiest world myself, but I think it's

a mentality mindset. And one of the most destructive things about BLM and a lot of different movements like that is that they seek to encourage a mindset of hopelessness in people, and the the only sort of way out of that hopelessness is to keep us somehow where we will take care of you, We will take all of this on for you, but just march with our slogan, just donate to our causes. It's that's a destructive thing because you're taking away agency from people. Rob is there

a political strategy point of view? Let's look at it that way. Do you think that there's a way that President Trump? People forget that over a million Black Americans voted for Donald Trump in the last election, right? And I think that that comes up again when you see Jamille Hill say in a tweet a well known ESPN and now I guess political commentator, sports commentator, now political that if you vote for Trump, you're racist. There's there's

no wiggle room, right that. I think that was the tweet. We've heard this before from other people, but it's coming back again. So it's not I disagree on policy, it's if you vote for Trump, you're racist. That's what's being said now. That would be news to the million plus Black Americans who voted for him, as well as the percentage of a Latino population that voted for Donald Trump,

and so on and so forth. Is there, Oh, you know, we've always had as conservative as this idea that if only the messaging could get directly to the black community about how all Americans want to see as much success, as much personal agency, autonomy and prosperity and happiness quite honestly as possible within the black community, that there would be ways that Trump and conservatives Trump now and conservatives could gain more support politically in the black community. Is

that worth the president doing right now? Or is it, honestly just the usage of political resources that's not going to change anything. You know, the members of the black community who like Trump will continue to but it's very hard to make gains beyond that. I think it's that hard to make gains, and I think that it's obviously always worth having the conversation when it comes to engaging black voters, But at a certain point you have to realize.

And this is kind of why so many Black people are kind of like lost in this leptism and all of this stuff, is that it becomes a family structure issue. So if you're growing up in a broken home and both of you arranons are not there, if you don't have these strong family structures, Look, we don't get We get our rights and privileges from the Constitution and from God, but this messaging of self reliance and all that stuff

that has to come from within the home. And the evil geniuses on the left they know that and they deeply realize that, which is why the most popular political figures on the left generally come from two parent households where they've gotten all this stuff. But the idea is is that they get political power by lying to Black people basically, and by telling them that these things are not important. So fundamentally, I don't think it's I don't think it's ever a waste of time politically to engage

different audiences. I think that Trump has done it pretty beautifully when it comes from a pure policy point of view, and I think that that is why a lot of people on the left are absolutely terrified about their prospects among black voters this election, which is why we have all the BLM stuff and in the race riots and all of that stuff that we're going through right now. But I think that ultimately the messaging that people get it has to come from within the home. It has

to come from within their own communities. And I think that the most powerful thing about this new, you know, crop of black influencers that we have all across the internet, is that people are going to be able to get that stuff from their homes, but they're also going to be able to see a different perspective. One of the most omnipresent criticisms of me is that people think that I'm somehow some trust fund kid, that I came from a wealthy family, that none of those things are true.

I'm from Acin, Ohio. I'll talk about this in the From Acin, Ohio. I'm from a single parent household. I went to a high school in Akroin, Ohio that was rated f you know, by the Ohio public school systems. So I had to get the messages of self discipline, determinism, determination, self aliance, all that stuff. I got that from the military to come from my family. So the thing is is that you have to get these messages from people

in the home. They're not necessarily going to come from politicians, and to tell you the truth, they're more likely to come from people like you and I than the President of the United States. Rob Smith, everybody. The book is Always a Soldier, which you should check out on Amazon. If you have not already, go get a copy today download it to your Kindle. Also Rob Smith online on Twitter and he's a contributor to the first Rob always a pleasure, My friend will talk soon. All right, Thanks

so much. Buck, You're in the Freedom Hunt. This is the Buck Sex and Show podcast team. Whenever possible, I like to bring you some good news. And the good news that I bring you today, I don't know. It's like I'm running speaking in circles here. There is good news for me to bring, and the bringing of the good news that I have for you is all of a sudden. I am French. Buck, I am very happy for all love. You know. It's has to do with

the vaccine. Trump has been saying that this is we've got operation warp Speed, which whenever I hear this, I always think of that scene in space Balls where they go from warp speed to I think it's ludicrous speed. Producer Mark probably hasn't even seen space Balls, have you. I've heard of it. I've seen space Jam. Space Balls is better among Rick Moranis's finest finest appearances on film. Not as good as Ghostbusters, but still pretty good. But

you know they are at operation warp speed. They talk about this, and then you also you have some of the more recent news stories about the breakthroughs or at least the effective early stages of the treatment. Here's the President on the vaccine seventeen. So ultimately, our goal is not merely to manage the pandemic, but to end it. We want to get rid of it as soon as we can. That is why getting a vaccine remains a top priority. Two vaccine candidates are entering the final stage

of clinical trials this month. This was achieved in record time. It used to be years before you were in a position like we are right now. Four other vaccines we'll lent to final trials and the following weeks, and we're mass producing all of the top candidates so that the first to prove vaccine will be available immediately. And logistically, we have the military ready to go. We have great people, logistic military people, a wonderful general who's waiting for the

vaccine so they can distribute it in record time. That's what's going to happen. So our military is all said to go. We will deliver a vaccine, therapeutics, whatever it is is necessary and defeat the virus once and for all. I think it's important here this. We will return to normal. This has been dragged out longer than I think almost anybody anticipated in the early days. We will return to normal. It's going to happen. I can't tell you when it might. In my mind, I'm I'm ready for things not to

really feel normal normal until next summer. That's just my that's just my gut feeling. And that doesn't mean that things aren't getting better and getting better. But you know, I think by next summer, people are going to be flying on planes and not really worry. You know, it's just going to be maybe some people still there'll be some voluntary mask wearing, will still be a part of the culture, but it's gonna there's gonna be a return

to normal. So that's what I see. I could be wrong, but I'm very happy when I hear about the movement on these vaccines. Here's a HHS secretary Azar talking about They've just signed a big contract to get you a whole bunch of doses by the end of the year Play fifteen. Under the President's leadership, we just signed a contract with a global pharmaceutical leader, Fiser, to produce a hundred million doses of vaccine starting in December of this year,

with an option to buy another half a billion doses. Now, those would, of course have to be safe and effective according to the FDA's gold standard. But this now adds to what President Trump has delivered, which is for other vaccine candidates, we now have five vaccine candidates that prioritize the US people where we're going to manufacture vaccine and work to secure FDA approval of them. All at the same time. I gotta tell you, I'm I'm really going

to enjoy shaking hands. I was never that big into shaking hands before. I mean, I would shake hands, but I wasn't. I kind of miss it. I miss our old life, America. I do. I miss it a lot. I miss the sense that we all have that we can be around people, you know, and I go through phases. I'm not somebody that's particularly into being in big crowds. But man, the things that I want to get back

to are crowded, crowded live music shows. And I will not comp laying about being elbow to elbow with people in a stacked New York bar that is probably a violation of the fire code because so many people in, And I won't complain about that for a long time. I can assure you, and how long I have to wait for a drink and all the rest of it, I'm not going to bring any of that up. So I'm continuing. I'm hoping to follow I'm following this, continue follow us, and hoping that we're going to get to

a place where we have that vaccine real soon. Producer Mark, when things are totally normal, what's top of the list for you, buddy? Sports game? Not even a sports game, because I can watch those on TV. I would say, a concert. You can't recreate a concert at home? Yeah, you can't, You cannot, You cannot do that? Well, you can, but really poorly? Well yeah, Producer Mark hears me seeing sometimes before I come on air. We don't have to

worry about that. Maybe one day, one day, you'll all give you a taste of that, but we I like to get him fired up by singing call it a like a like a fight song of sorts for a producer Mark before the show so and and producer Nick sometimes too, we get them in the mix. Anyway. A vaccine is coming. I don't know when. I don't know how good it's going to be, but it's coming. And hope is a hope is a good thing if you've perhaps the best of things. Isn't that what he says

during Shawshank I think, yeah. Thanks for listening to The Bus Sesson Show podcast. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. A quick pick up here, I mentioned this at the very top of the show. Rutgers, which is the state University of New Jersey, Bruce and Mark, how far are you from Rutgers? No very maybe twenty minutes, half hour? Okay, so you know Rutgers, if you're if you're an NJ

everybody knows Rutgers really well. I just thought this was entering and hat tip to college fix dot com for this. Rutgers English Department to de emphasize traditional grammar in solidarity with Black Lives Matter. Here's the piece. The English Department at Rutgers University recently announced a list of anti racist directives and initiatives for the upcoming fall and spring semesters,

including an effort to de emphasize traditional grammar rules. The initiatives were spelled out by Rebecca Walkowitz, the English Department chair. Walkowitz sent out the email on juneteenth. One of the initiatives is described as quote incorporating critical grammar into our pedagogy pedagogy sorry. It is listed as one of the efforts for Rutgers Graduate Writing Program, which serves graduate students

across the Rutgers community. Under so called critical grammar, the approach challenges familiar dogma that writing instruction should limit emphasis on grammar and sentence level issues so as not to put students from nonstandard English backgrounds at a disadvantage. Don't expect proper grammar, according to the Rutgers English Department, and this is part of their solid are they say with the b LM movement. Look, this just strikes me as

kind of offensive. You know, I don't know what else to say, and I'm not somebody runs around calling things offensive, but solidarity with the BLM movement, according to Rutgers, is not expecting proper, proper English to be used in the English literature department. Okay, I'm just gonna say, these colleges keep getting crazier with this stuff. So there you have it, folks.

Not quite as bad as the Smithsonian poster that said, you know, characteristics of whiteness and had things like objective reasoning. That was the Smithsonian took that down. That was super offensive, put up there by a white diversity consultant, by the way, that was the person who was behind that diversity consultants, shaking us all down for all this cash. All right, I cover that story. Let's do roll call. Hey, team Buck, it's time for roll call. You didn't like dubstep didn't

really get the full uh? I don't know. Dubstep never really got as much love as it as it deserved. I know this. I feel like this audience is very split over dubstep. Producer, Mark, do you ever listen I mean not really. I'll listen to techno remixes of songs, but not dubstep. Yeah, I know. If there's a difference, I guess. So all right, Well that was our dubstep intro. Let's get to the inbox. Oh remember, please go to buck Sexton dot com. Check in on our site. We

got stories posted throughout the day and Producer Mark. We did have a conversation with our our digital team. They would like us to start selling some T shirts. Oh yeah, I think, yeah, yeah, I'm learning. Yeah, there you gonna get one with my face on it if you want. Man, we could have we could have the Penalty Box Producer Mark t shirt. You know, we could sell that, you know something, come up with some kind of like a grumpy mascot, you know what I mean. We could do it.

Grumpy cat. Oh, grumpy cat in a penalty but a Producer Mark. But I bet the Grumpy Cat is trademarked. Yeah, most likely. Yeah. I think they made one hundred million dollars off the whole Grumpy Cat franchise just for having a cat that looks you know that that cat has a form of Dwarfism and that's why it looks like that. You know, that cat died, right, I did not know that. Now I'm saying recently. Oh that's a shame. Okay, Well, anyway,

I got it. I got a lot of text that day saying ri ip hmm, like to me, they thought I was dead. Oh yeah, yeah, No, I got it. I got what you're putting down. Facebook dot com, slash Buxac Center, team buck at i Heeart Media, or employer dot com. So please send in the emails there if you want emails. Facebook, Oh, and Instagram. If you are listening to this show and you have an Instagram account and you are not following Buck Sexton on Instagram, you

are missing out and you're making me sad. I want Instagram action, So Buck Sexton on Instagram, I'm gonna be communicating a lot more doing Instagram lives. It's happening. If you're following me, you see we're doing a lot more stuff on Instagram these days. So please do follow me there as well. All right, I think I think I covered all the plugs and pass the buck. Tell people about this podcast, darn it. Look, there's a lot of podcasts that I'm seeing ahead of us in the Apple

Store that I'm like, I know that person. Their show stinks. So I'm just gonna say it. They're not good at this. So they figured out a way to leverage social media and the search algorithms on these different podcast platforms to get people download their show. Look, there's some of the shows are great. Of course, there's some fantastic talents on the right who have really big podcasts. But there are

some people. I'm like, well, that show is garbage. So let's let's at least beat all the garbage shows, shall we. That would be nice? All right? That means past the Buck tell them about and look, Spotify is so easy, and prucer Mark yells at me because we don't work for Spotify, but our podcast is on it and you are allowed to listen to it there, and it's so straightforward and you can listen anytime you want, every day. So with that, I appreciate Mark. You're trying to keep

us having jobs though, That is nice of you. Yes, I'm the one who loves the I Heart app. Yeah, because I like my job. Producer Mark appreciates paychecks and healthcare and so yes, we need to always be mindful of the fact that the greatest app for listening to the show is in fact, the iHeart I Heart Radio app. All right, Telor Buck, Yes, finally, good to hear you on one oh five point nine k n RS out here in Utah. Utah is ripe for the Freedom Hut

that deserves a proper celebration. Bring out the guns, cannon, smoke, barbecue and some stuff to blow up. You are the man. Ps go away, Mitt Romney Taylor. I'm so glad you got to hear me out on k n RS in Utah in Salt Lake City, and I think you'll be hearing more of the Freedom Hut out there. I got a feeling, so please keep listening, and if you don't, you know, make sure you're subscribe to the podcast. But

you will be hearing more from that. That's a great heritage radio station out in Salt Lake City k n RS, and anytime we're on there, we're very very pleased. Matthew, Hey Buck, have you heard about the upcoming series on Showtime based on James Coombe's book, A Higher Loyalty. It's about, if you guessed it, Russia, Russia, Russia, No doubt. It'll be presented from a far left perspective. What I thought you'd find interesting is that Donald Trump will be in it,

played by Brendan Gleeson. That's Hamish from Braveheart, Keep Up, Keep It Up, Buck Shields High Huh is your father a ghost or do you converse with you all night? Producer, Mark, you've seen Braveheart? Right? Sure, I'm I'm actually I'm actually a little sad right now. You've never seen Braveheart. I don't even know how this is possible. I'm sure I've seen parts of it. Oh you came out of ninety five two? Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, you were like you were like a year old? Can you can you go on?

I think this three hour movie it's the best movie of all time, absolutely not the best movie ever made. I barely have an attention spent to listen to you for three hours. I'm gonna watch a movie and you get paid for that, exactly. That's a fair that's a fair point. Um. Yeah, I had not heard back to Matthew here. I'd not heard about this series on Showtime. Um, but I'm sure it's gonna be horrible. I mean, James Comey is not an appealing fellow in any regard, so

I don't know what else to say. I mean, he's just kind of a lanky, sanctimonious weirdo. So how they're gonna do? But remember this is very important because this is how the left gets a lot of support for themselves from people who understand they'll be taken care of. What I mean here is if you are a soldier for the left, or if you do something that makes the left apparatus happy, the Democrat Party happy, they will

memorialize you, lionize you, canonize you. On that issue, I think of Steve Schmidt of the Lincoln Project like a ram Cans campaign and lost by a ton and led to eight years of Obama and dragging the country and socialism. But Stave Schmidt had a Woody Harrelson play him in the movie Game Change on HBO. Right, So if you're going to be a Republican, you want to be the kind of Republican who gets a famous actor to play you in a sympathetic way in one of these movies.

That's always in the back of the minds of many of these political players, many of the establishment Republicans out there. So yeah, I'm sure the series will be horrible and the Russia thing is ridiculous, and they're gonna but they're gonna make it seem like it's not ridiculous. That's the whole point. Just like the movie Recount with Kevin Spacey,

another HBO movie. Oh, noticing a pattern made it seem like Bush stole the election from Gore, when the whole purpose of what they were doing was to only recount Democrats only wanted recounts in some areas that were Democrats strongholds, no recounts in Republican stronghold areas, to change the votes so that Gore could win. They were trying to steal the election. But the whole movie leads you to believe, Oh, no,

Republicans don't want all the votes counted. No, Democrats only wanted And there was never a count that had of any kind ever done, that had al go ahead in Florida. Never didn't exist. But they kept saying, well, let's do a recount in this really blue county, but not any other counties around it. It's very transparent what they were doing. Oh, and Kevin Spacey played the political consultant whose name escapes me right now, But I wouldn't want I's gonna say

this right now. When they make the Buck Sexton movie, I don't want Kevin Spacey playing me. I don't want Kevin What who do you want to play Buck Sexton? Wow, that's a good that's a very good question. Um, you know, I think, uh, if you know, we want something that's really captures my essence and is just true to life and would be a visual cue to the audience. I think we gotta go with the guy who plays Thor, you know, I think that would be good. Really, that

guy I don't even know his name. I want that guy to play me in the movie. That's a radio a radio host who just magically has you know, twenty eight inch python biceps. You know, yeah, you want to play Yeah, you know what, I would take either of the Hemsworth brothers. That's it. Yeah, either one of them could play me in the movie. I would accept that. You know, we got we have similar similar uh eye and hair color. And then you look at your physique and you're like, oh no, he's got a game you

need fat for. Oh my god, did you just call me fat for my own radio show? Wow? You you just set that was right down in the middle. Come on, uh, everybody, Mark Brucer. Mark put one in the upper deck today. You know, let him he's running the bases. Oh man, that's time for baseball season. I'll take it. I'll take it all right. I need I need to regroup here for a second. You're in This is the Buck Sex

Show podcast, all right, and we're back. And I would just note that producer Nick says, Adam Scott from Parks and rec Uh. Is that is that his? Wait? Is that his? What's his? Yeah? Yeah, that's his name, right angled him? That actually makes a lot of sense. Yeah, I know that that guy does look like I mean, everyone always says this and this is the this is it, but but you know he's, um, he is little. He has tiny shoulders, he's a little man. I'm not the

how do you say it? Not little like him? Um, Like, we went over that in the last segment. I think I already stepped on that land mine. So okay, it's kind of French. And then my accent kind of turned Hungary in there for a second. I don't know why that happened. All Right, we have more takes here from Dave Hey Buck. Let producer Mark run with his sports takes. They're fantastic. I'm a huge sports fan. He's spot on.

Take care, okay, producer Mark, since you're you're feeling you're feeling your oats today, Uh, what give us a what's the latest in the sports world? We need to know about. I don't think there really is the latest right now, sports start on Thursday night. That's about it. Well, what are they starting with? Baseball starts? I believe it's the world champion Shington Nationals taking on the New York Yankees. Who do you root for? And that? Anything but anything

but the Yankees? Right? Oh? In that that game? I mean, I hate both teams so much. You're hoping they can both lose? Yeah, which is not possible. Yeah, you actually a fun facta fat game. You're gonna love this. Guess who's throwing it up the first pitch, Doctor Fauci. Yes, yeah, I saw that the Fouch. Indeed, dude, they're gonna make

fa Fauci. They're gonna have a whole series about him, where Fauci is played by like a super handsome forty year old Hollywood leading man who is defeating the virus, undoing Trump's tyranny and mysteriously knows kung fu for no apparent reason for the fight scenes like, that's what's gonna happen with the Fouch. I would watch that just for the kung foot part. That sounds very interesting. Yeah, like hi, yeah, take that with the mitigation. You know what I mean,

it's gonna happen. It's gonna happen. Dennis Buck and grumpy producer Mark Hey, Yeah, that's right. Dennis knows. Trust me, I don't want CNN on a regular basis, but happen to be changing channels and stopped because they were discussing wearing masks. The guest was citing a study done with hamsters. Yes, those rodents that looked like mice wearing masks. Seriously, a study was done with hamsters wearing masks, and those results

showed that humans should wear masks. I'll continue to take your stand on masks and not listening to what the hamsters say. Love the show. Absolutely the best conservative podcast out there. Thank you, Dennis. Thank you for having good taste in your conservative podcast listening. So I appreciate that. I don't even know how some people some of the people that have that are conservatives, that have podcasts that

do well. I don't even I don't understand anyone could listen for more than five minutes, but it is what it is. Some of the others are great. There's some great. So I'm not I'm not somebody who's I'm not a hater. I love my conservative brothers and sisters who are doing a good job. But as for the mask situation and hamsters,

it's just for my it's me. I used to think that having a hamster would be kind of fun as a pet, and and then I realized that if it gets loose, it just feels like a hamster running around is now a rodent in your house? True or false? Producer Mark absolutely like, I would be petrified if my hamster got out and I just didn't know where it was. So I was just thinking, you know, yeah at the ft, things get too crazy at the frat party, and maybe
