All the crises we see playing out with this bid administration, and one part of it that you have to remember is that they have no plan to deal with any of this. Right, they're not good at fixing things. Not only are they causing the crises, but they don't respond well to the crises. What's the answer to we're worried about inflation, Oh, don't worry, It'll
just be a little temporary inflation. Oh how are you going to stop people from flooding across the border? Oh, no, big deal. We'll just build more facilities for all the people illegally crossing and then release them even faster in the United States.

Now, the Remain in Mexico agreement didn't magically end poverty in the Northern Triangle.
The Remain in Mexico agreement didn't magically cause the cartels they're committing horrific acts of crimes in the Northern Triangle to disappear. What the Remain in Mexico policy did is it was an agreement with the government of Mexico that people acrossed illegally, primarily from the Northern Triangle from Central America through Mexico, that they would remain in Mexico while their US asylum cases were proceeding. And it was an
incredible success. Frankly, the success exceeded any reasonable expectations. The numbers plummeted, and they stayed low. They stayed low, month after month after month after month. It was a success. Now you suddenly see the numbers skyrocketing. It wasn't suddenly poverty returned to the Northern Triangle. It wasn't suddenly these
vicious murdering cartels rediscovered. They were vicious murdling cartels. What happened is Joe Biden put his hand on the Bible and put his right hand in the air and repudiated the policies that we're working, ripped that international agreement to shreds, and that caused the spike. That is the one and only cause Biden cause and effect. Friends, when we're talking
about the border, it couldn't be more clear. And the senator from Texas, Senor Cruz san Fuego, he gets it, he sees it, he knows, he understands as a Texan and as a constitutional lawyer and senator, actly what happened here. But anybody who's been paying attention, anyone who's honest about this, knows that the Biden administration is the reason why We had close to one hundred and eighty thousand people apprehended last month at our southern border. One hundred and eighty
thousand people. Remember, there are also all the gotaways, hundreds and hundreds a day, sometimes a thousand a day, and those are individuals who are just getting across the border and not getting caught that we know about. Think about the smuggling that goes on, Think about the human trafficking, the cartel activity that border patrol and I don't even
know about that's also going on. It's a mess. It's a disaster, and it is the clear and direct result of the Biden administration essentially ringing the dinner bell in America and saying who wants free food? We all see it, we get it, we know what happened here. Skip the immigration line, claim asylum at the border. It works. It works for people who cross illegally, those who don't want to go through our actual process, and so they're going to keep doing it. Cause and effect. This is reality.
This is what is happening. Why did the remain in Mexico policy work so well? See, this goes to the heart of the essential, the fundamental lie that democrats weren't telling during the Trump administration about what was happening at the border. Their narrative was, these are all asylum seekers and they know if they go home they will be subject to political or criminal persecution, violence, And essentially it's
a question of safety right. Asylum exists for people who if they don't get access into a place like the US, are likely to face severe harm and or be killed, and perhaps their families as well. So it's really a sacred thing. It's really goes through the core of our humanitarian impulse for our fellow human beings. Asylum in these
cases is being abused. And you have to understand that the people who are claiming asylum, who are sometimes even reading off a sheet of paper, I have a credible fear of violence in my home country of insert the blank. They are posing as those who would jump off a ship, you know, within sight of America, knowing that if they were taken back to their home country they may be tortured and killed. They're posing as those people and they
are not those people. There is no reason for them not to go through our legal immigration system other than it's arduous, it's annoying, it's time consuming, but if everybody just decides they're not going to do it, we don't have an immigration system anymore. So why did the remain in Mexico policy work so well? The numbers make this
very clear. It's because the moment you took out this loophole policy that was started really just four kids who are at the border that you will take people in and they can claim defensive asylum and say, oh, no, I know I crossed in your country illegally, but if I go home, I'm going to be subject to persecution and violence. They said that's what was going on. It was not true. In hundreds of thousands of cases, they were just economic migrants seeking better job opportunities and stuff.
And I always say this, I do not begrudge people this. I understand why they want this, and that they you know, that doesn't make anybody worthy of criticism or thinking any any less of them. But we can't have everyone just breaking our laws and forgetting that we have an immigration process, or else do we even have sovereignty as a country.
You know, if Democrats really want to keep going down this pathway, which I think unfortunately they do, they're going to have to eventually argue for why do we even have an immigration system. What's the point of it? If everyone gets to stay, why do we pretend that anyone doesn't get to stay? Remain in Mexico made it so that you could not, and the Trump administration figured this out.
You could not immediately gain access into the US by crossing illegally at the southern border and then gain the system by either not showing up or just or you can show up and then not show up for your next hearing. I mean, there's all these different phases gaming
this system did not get you what you wanted. If once we're made in Mexico, rent went into effect, because now you actually had a entry into the US foreign asylum hearing, and if it did not go the way of the individual who wanted asylum, they were immediately subject to deportation back across the southern border. So it took out the loophole. Essentially, real assilees sure they would they could be granted the right to stay in the US forever. I mean people that you know we're speaking out against
MS thirteen in a newspaper in Honduras or something. I mean, there are people who should get asylum under our laws, but those with phony asylum claims, no longer were able to exploit a week seam in the system. What do the Biden team do when they came in? Kick that week seam as hard as you can break it wide open. And this is the result. And Ted Cruz knows it. You know it, I know it. Play nineteen. Kamala Harris has been to the Canadian border as Vice president, but
not the southern border. The last I check, we don't have a crisis of thousands of Canucks coming south across the border. This is a dereliction of duty. It is deliberate, and they don't intend to fix it. They don't intend to fix it because they have promised the radicals they will have open borders and they will not enforce our laws. And that is endangering the people of my home state
of Texas. It's endangering people all across the country. It is unacceptable, it is inhumane, and it's wrong all true. This is the kind of fire in the belly that we need from Republicans on this issue, on all the swirling crises now around the Bide administration. They want people to think that everything's under control. They want you to believe that good old Amtrak. Joe is the engineer and we just have to sit on the train and he'll make the choo choo go in the right direction. That's
just not the case. He was never up for this job. He's not up for this job. He won't be up for it. But they were able to use him in the moment for their purposes of achieving power and defeating Trump, and now we are stuck with the result. The Left doesn't want the border to be secure. They don't even
talk about border security anymore. That was just a talking point they used in the past to pretend that there was some common ground so they could continue the incremental chipping away of our actual border security and get us to this point where now we have a de facto open border. And they know that over the long run this has enormous political implications that benefit the Democrat Party.
So that's why this is happening. We have to first understand the fundamental reality of these situations, and particularly of the southern border, before we can get back to how about fixing it. Senator Martha Blackburn of Tennessee has introduced the reinstating essentially the Trump policies, the Trump era migrant protection protocols. She's saying, let's do it. The Migrant Protection
Protocols Mandatory Act is what it is called. This bill would require migrants without proper documentation to stay in Mexico. This is just bring back remain in Mexico. This would fix the problem. There would still be unaccompanied miners. See I actually know how this works. There would still be uncompanied miners coming across the border, but not the family units, not the individuals who are claiming defensive asylum. So you
would cut this down dramatically. You'd see an eighty ninety percent reduction in the first month or two, in my opinion, of the reintroduction of reintroduction rather of this protocol. And yet, who wants to place a bet whether the Biden administration will do this or not. They will do nothing to
secure the border. They're going to keep on waving in as many people who break our laws as they can until the midterms really get in sight, and then they'll pose as reasonable to avoid the judgment of that same center of America that is still persuadable that Joe Biden is an ignorant old buffoon. It look in the little over one hundred days we went from a secure border
to crisis. We went from energy independence two lines at the pump, and now we went from peace in the Middle East to hundreds of rockets fired by terrorists on our best ally, actually over a thousand rockets being fired on our best ally, Israel. This is exactly what happens, as you said, when we project weakness from the Oval Office. It is not a good situation. But the American people see it for what it is, and that's why they're
demanding change. And I think as we look ahead, frankly, you're going to see the Republicans take back the House next year because of all the turmoil they see coming as a result of this administration's policies. I hope Jim Jordan is right about what will happen. He's certainly right about his assessment of what is happening in terms of
the Biden administration. And it's not Remember, these are not just crises that it seems like the Biden team can't handle, but they're also in some cases clearly either caused by the Biden decision making apparatus, which is not just Joe Biden, as you know, they are all these puppeteers around him who make the little Marionette or the old kind of
decrepit marionette dance around. But also in response to just Biden being the president, all right, that's certainly pushing for example, some of the wolves around the world, terrorist organizations, the Iranians, what we see going on now with a moss pushing them to take more action than they would under a Trump administration. As I've said all along, there's something to be said for a guy who is a little bit unpredictable.
I'm always reminded of the line in Tombstone where they say where they say, let's keep Doc meeting Doc holiday on the street, Howitzer the shotgun. They'll be a little less jumpy that way. Essentially, you want to give your guy thet You want your machine gunner to be somebody who isn't afraid to use it, you know what I mean.
And with Trump you have a situation where or you had a situation where enemies recognized an unpredictability and also an aggressiveness that could have been an aggression that could have been an issue for them had they transgressed against America. With Biden, you know, he wants to get us back in deep with the Iranians. You know, he wants to create a phony phony Iran deal pox Rania, which is not going to actually work out in our favor in the long run. But nonetheless, they don't know how to
fix these things. And in fact, on the gas crisis another thing that's come up this week, it's more the response from the Biden team than it is anything they've they did to get us to the point, although they did cancel the Keystone XL pipeline, which goes to the mentality of fossil fuel is somehow bad. And here is what Here is what Biden says about this gas crisis,
play seventeen. I'd also point out that I think what this shows is that I think we have to make a greater investment in education as it relates to being able to train and graduate more people proficient in cybersecurity. Yeah, that's a that's a really good answer to the crisis. Let's let's have an initiative to have more cybersecurity people
graduating from schools. Look, it's very likely that however this uh, this intrusion came about, it was probably probably engineer social engineering of some kind or a usage of human error to get access into the system. I don't think that's going to solve it. But you know what the government could do is have greater redundancy and and essentially understand that our energy infrastructure is fossil fuel based. See, they
don't want to accept that. They want to take us to a place where we're we're phasing out pipelines, we're phasing out fossil fuels, natural gas, all these things because they believe, oh, by twenty fifty, we're gonna be you know, carbon neutral whatever I mean, the dates come on, the dates will change a million times between now when when we actually get the twenty fifty, all the numbers will shift. That's what they'll have to do because it will not be what they say. It's not going to work the
way they say it will work. And yet what is their approach to all of this to talk about how we need investments in green energy and to say that we need more help with cyber I have to tell you, I think this is absurd. But get ready for this administration to have all the support of the hack journal media that spent three years give or take, because really they then they focused on COVID more and blaming Trump
for all that on the Russia collusion lies. Anytime you see Democrats changing the subject to something that it's that they don't really care about and has something to do with Trump, just remember they still suffer from Trump't arrangement syndrome. Here's Claire McCaskill put twenty one. You know, and I'm going to tell you the truth. If none of these Republicans has the nerd to talk about cancel culture with what they're doing to Liz Cheney, I would use such
an unladylike word right now if I could. I mean, you know, I mean, what about that they want a lectures about doctor Seusan the canceled culture, and they are canceling her. They are canceling Liz Cheney because she has the audacity to tell the truth. Shame on all of them. I mean, she's a moron McCaskill's. She's actually just not very smart. Canceled culture isn't when people take a voice vote to remove you from a leadership position in Congress,
but you still keep your job. No one says that you know, you should be kicked out of all society. No one calls you a racist, no one says you're a big at it that's cancel culture. But notice that they don't even know what it is that they're so used to just wielding it against their political opponents. Oh and Jen Saki is really upset about it too. Play fifteen.
Let's start with the facts. More than eight h judges across the country throughout lawsuits attempting to overturn the outcome of the election, and on January sixth, this moment in history. We're looking at their hearings on Capitol Hill about the events on January sixth. Our nation's capital was attacked, Our democracy was attacked, and six people lost their lives. So it's disturbing to see any leader, regardless of party, being
attacked for simply speaking the truth. And as the President said last week, it's hard to understand, but our belief.
His belief is that the American people will have to make their own decisions about whether the reaction by the people they elected to represent them should be embracing and elevating conspiracies and attacks on our democracy, or whether it should be standing up for ideals that have historically been owned by both Democrats and Republicans representing the country throughout history. I cannot let this go We're going to dive into now Jensaki's smears, lies and propaganda about Liz Cheney and
the insurruction. You know what's at the top of mine to do list this week and the one thing I'm really looking forward to having some filet mignon that's going to be the most tender, juicy, flavorful meat I've had in a long time, courtesy of Monk. That's right. I just take them out of my freezer and I know that I have the best grass fed and grass finished beef you can get anywhere, plus lamb, pastured pork and chicken.

Their animals are raised outdoors, their fish swim wild in the ocean, and Monk meat is free of antibiotics, hormone, sugar and all the other junk you find in the meat aisle that's prepackaged. Monk was founded by an eighth generation farmer who's actually featured on Shark Tank. Host Kevin O'Leary said
it's the best bacon he's ever tasted. And I totally agree. And Jamie Simmonoff, creator of the Ring video Doorbell, invested in moink All right, so this is an independent, not big agra family farms. You need to support them and have the best meat, best chicken, best beef you'll get anywhere, have it delivered right to your door in a box. It's so easy and straightforward.

M o I n k box dot com, slash buck that's moinkbox dot com slash buck for I will do everything I can to ensure that the former president never again gets anywhere near the Oval office. We have seen the danger uh that
he continues to provoke with his language. We have seen his lack of commitment and dedication to the Constitution, and I think it's very important that we make sure whomever we elect is somebody who will be faithful to the Constitute. Why is Liz Cheney playing into the hands of the left, the socialist, the authoritarians, increasingly just the straight up commies in the Democrat Party and the media and across the country.
Why do this? Why give them what they want? I think you can come up with a number of plausible answers ego, bitterness, desire for power. It might sound crazy, but in an error where we just had President Trump come out of seemingly nowhere in the political world and become the actual president of the United States, doesn't it feel like anything's possible. Maybe in Liz Cheney's warped mind, even she would get further than even Dad did as
VP to become the full on president of the United States. Yeah, that's possible, isn't it. I had mentioned before Jensaki as the White House Press secretary. They pretend that this is the administration that's all about truth. And I have to tell you this when they say that six people died in the Capitol Hill riot, which as we know, was was largely comprised of and I'm talking about the people that actually broke the law, destructured a destruction of some
federal property. They didn't go around, you know, slashing priceless painting somebody, you know, they broke some doors and windows, which is not okay, And I'm never going to say that's okay, you can't do that. That's a criminal act and trespassing and selfie taking, which is not a crime, but I'm just saying that's the kind of stuff that went on. They were not armed. There was no use
of lethal force against law enforcement. There was the use of lethal force against the protester shot in the neck through a door. You imagine, imagine if imagine if a cop in Portland, one of those federal officers when there was that deployment last summer, a federal law enforcement by Trump to Portland when the anti FA lunatics were trying to burn down a federal courthouse. That's what they were
trying to do. But imagine if if a cop from twenty feet away, as a guy was, you know, banging on the door of the courthouse or you know, trying to set a Molotov cocktail a light and throw it against the side of the building, a cop just just shot him right in the neck or right in the head twenty thirty feet away through a door. I think the media would be very would have a very different
feeling about that. It's inexcusable though that Jensaki says that six people lost their lives in the Capitol Hill riot. People died of heart attacks from a day later, people that had nothing, nothing to do with actual violence on the side of the protesters. That thats to death. We've we've been through this. Officer sick, Nick had an aneurysm from stress. Well, cops deal with a lot of stressful situations. Okay, it's not murder when a cop has an aneurism a
day after they're doing riot control. Do you think they would say at a BLM riot that you know, got out of hand. Well, all riots right of hand, but you see what I'm saying, a BLM protest that got out of hand. Do you think they would say that it's murder if an officer had a stroke a day later? Six people, six people died. Jen Psaki says, Oh, this, this is the bloody shirt they wave around. It's all a lie. The only person killed as a result of
violence and the Capitol Hill riot was Ashley Babbitt. And yet they continue with this. And this is also tied directly to their obsession with Liz Cheney. She's been canceled. She When you are being used as a club to bludgeon your own side in politics. There's clearly a problem. That's what we're seeing. She has absolutely no interest in it seems what the long term ramifications of this are. Cheney just is on this jihad against Trump and she's not going to let it go, which then brings me
to what this really is about. They there's an obsession, particularly from from CNN and from some people in this White House, an obsession with keeping the January Insurrection as an issue that people are thinking about and concerned about it. Just recently this week, there was some some testimony about how you know white supremacy. This was on Capitol Hill. White supremacy is the biggest national security threat we face
or something. This is the people who tell you that are brainwashed and trying to create grounds for further authoritarianism in America. That's a stupid, nonsensical thing to say, but you'll you'll have you know, FBI directors who say it. You'll have all these individuals who work for the government because they know who is in charge right now. And the narrative of white supremacy as this imminent threat of overthrow of the government of a coup is so satisfying
to the Democrats. It excuses all of their excesses, their viciousness, their insanity, their overreach. It excuses all of it. It justifies all of it. Sorry, we have to do this. We have to treat you, the opposition, the Republicans, the Trump supporters, we have to treat you like you are a clear and present danger to America because you are. We have to treat you like you're not really human,
You're not really our fellow Americans, because you are. That's the attitude the left has about all of this, and they're looking to justify it. That's the attitude they have about why there's no good faith extended from the other side really on any issues these days. They want to control you, they want to shut you down, they want to cancel you. And Liz Cheney plays right into it.
She continues to scratch at the scab of the January sixth riot, and Democrats are saying, great, keep doing it, keep it going, because it justifies the power grab that we are seeing that we're going through right now as a country. You know, we talk about freedom allott as conservatives, we talk about liberty on the right. We have gone through twelve months of the greatest intrusions on liberty, on constitutional guarantees of our individual rights in my lifetime, and
it's not even close. And the media and the Democrat Party who perpetrated all of this are hoping that we don't ever really wake up, or that enough of us don't wake up to what they've done and what it means for this country going forward. And Liz Cheney unfortunately has allowed herself to become a weapon of the oppressive tyrant on the left. And it's shameful and it's sad. Reality is finally starting to set in for some of
the lockdowners about masks. It's no longer possible to be a reasonable, rational person who's constantly wearing two mass I'm gonna wear two massa. I'm gonna a bike out in the woods by myself. And what if the COVID finds me. The COVID is like a heat seeking this all. It'll find me from wherever I need to hide. I need to hide from the COVID. You know there are people who are writing serious articles these days. I'm telling you the truth about pandemic PTSD. What have I been telling
you for six months? There is a mass psychological disorder happening. I've been saying this, it's true, it's clear, and now finally there are people who are you know, mds and experts and all the rest of it who are saying, you know what, turns out that there is really an issue here. There's an article in the Atlantic, which is usually a left wing trash journal. Lucy McBride, who's an MD in washing DC, wrote, I tell my patients not
to mask their kids outside. For most young people, the social and emotional benefits of taking off masks outdoors greatly outweighed the personal and public health advantages of keeping them on. This is central, This is central to what I've been
saying for a year now. They have pretended that everything was a binary either or you take the virus seriously or you don't, when every decision they were making for us, mandated with the force of law, the force of the state behind it, was a judgment call based upon highly imperfect information that was supposed to be waging competing goods,
competing upside and downside. And yet everything in the lockdown, everything in the pandemic, according to the Fauciites and the Democrats, because we know this was deeply politicized Remember they were used to pretend mask wearing is not a political statement. Bull crap. We all know it is, we've all known it is. But remember when you know, early on they were acting like they listened to the science. No, no, they don't. They absolutely do not listen to the science.
Because that's why they have problems. Now, that's why there are issues with their ability to see the statements made by the CDC and say, okay, finally we'll calm down. One in five people, according to this article, one in five people experienced post pandemic PTSD, especially those who were infected, or it's higher than that for those who were infected
or quarantined. I've been telling you that this is a mass hysteria, and I've been using those words intentionally, clearly and knowing what I'm what I'm really trying to imply. I meant it. People have gone nuts. You see it, you know it. It's all over the place. This broke a lot of people emotionally and psychologically. And that's why
they were clinging to Fauci's little lab coat. That's why they were begging that little stalinist smurf, please please tell me it's all gonna be okay, because they were suffering from a form of mental illness. That's what we've seen. And it's scary, isn't it to think that our country could fall into that so quickly. It's scary to think that at a clinical level of an MD writing in the Atlantic about just this and how in other pandemics,
it's the same thing. People lost rationality, lost the ability to calculate real risks, and we all suffered as a result. Because the neurotics on the left made this an anti
Trump statement very early on. And also I believe, and now this gets into a deeper psychological level, that if you are generally, if you're an atheist with tremendous faith in this state, you were a lockdowner and all out lockdowner because you believe that the government, the experts in the government, we're going to keep you alive, and that all we had to do was give up all of our rights, give up all of our decision making to people who work in the government, and we'd be safe.
Because the notion of living your life and accepting that we are all on borrowed time, a lot of leftists have a tremendous difficulty with that, and it goes to their look, there's an existential angst, There's no question about it for people who don't believe that anything comes after
this life. You see in a lot of the Red States, the attitude was among people, including much older people, including those who are at high risk, was I don't have that much time, and I don't have that much time left. I want to live my life. Remember that in the early days, you know, back last April, last May, people were saying, yeah, I can't give up. You know, I'm in my late seventies. I don't want to give up a year or two of my life locked away in
isolation from my children, my grandchild. I don't want to do that. That was shouted, Oh no, you shut up. The government's gonna take control of the government's in charge. People talk about post pandemic PTSD. I have post fauci PTSD at some level. I mean, I don't think I'm actually suffering from a mental illness because of it, but I do think that this is something that's really stuck
with me. And I know for some of you, you know, we've covered this issue a lot on the show, and I get your messages where you say, you know, okay, we get it with masks, we get it with your ear disdain for Faucci. This is central, and it's about much more than just masks and foucy, don't you see. This is about your underlying relationship between citizen and state.
This goes to the heart of whether or not you have any actual rights, any real protections from the state and freedoms as an individual that the government cannot transgress. What we saw in this last year is that for a lot of people the answer is no, that the government can decide it has a right to do effectively
anything that should be very troubling to you. And it's a reminder that even in America, with all of our fancy gadgets and our incredible prosperity and our ability to start companies sitting on the couch that become worth millions or billions of dollars, all all these things that are going on that seemed just unfathomably amazing in so many ways, we could have a turn toward tyranny that destroys the most essential characteristics of our society, and it can happen
in the blink of an eye. That's why I've been saying that this was all ultimately an advertisement for an armed population and the Second Amendment. Let me let me explain to you why I feel that way. We had a virus that had a less than one percent fatality rate in this country, and people were there was mass hysteria, there was pandemic trauma, and that made it psychologically impossible
for a lot of people to make reasonable decisions. And the government was shutting down churches, the government was telling people that had to stay in their homes, and there was there were even considerations among some There were people who were experts who were saying we should have full on, you know, Chinese or Australian style lockdowns where you're forced to stay in your home for weeks and weeks at a time. That was for a virus with a less
than one percent fatality rate. The actual fatality rate for the Spanish influenza of nineteen eighteen was more like five percent. And in the second wave it went after specifically when after twenty to forty year olds, and they never even really understood why, but people would die. They would get the Spanish flu. They would die in a matter of hours from the onset of symptoms. Young healthy people, how
hysterical and tyrannical. Do you think the lockdowners would get if we were faced with anything even close to that? Do you think they would hesitate to lock you in your home and not understand why that's just not their right? You think they would hesitate from using the force of the state, using armed men paid by the government to make you comply, to take away your freedom, to lock you in a cell, to lock you in quarantine, to
maybe even use lethal force if you refused. We've been through a stress test with this pandemic as a people, and not all of us, but a big portion of the American people failed. We need to be honest about that. When you spend a lot of time in the great outdoors, you know mother nature doesn't always play nice. SA Company has all the protective gear you need to brave the elements and explore more every day like they're multi use
face shields UPF thirty, lightweighted, breathable. They come in dozens of eye catching designs for the entire family, perfect for your next outdoor adventure. Look the say face shields have such cool patterns. I've got one that's got an American flag design. I love it, and they're meant for outdoor activity. Friends, understand, this is not about COVID. This is about making sure you keep dust stole. This is about having a gator that's really comfortable, that looks cool, that you can wear
anytime at the range, out in the woods. We're just walking around outside doing work. Right. There are over ten ways to put this to use. Facemask, bandanna, neckgator, so many more. So have have you been wearing yours? Well, you gotta get one first, right Say company also gives back to the men and women who put themselves in the front lines every day. Through their partnership with Operation Gratitude. Say company has donated over one hundred thousand face shields.
With every order they donate one face shield to first responders. Right now, say companies offering an insane deal. Buy one face shield, get four free, one hundred and fifty dollar value for just twenty four ninety nine. That's buy one, get four free. Just go to sa phishing dot com slash buck to get five face shields for the price of one, plus a lifetime warranty and free returns. That's s a phishing dot com slash buck. We'll speaking of that.
June fifteenth, Big deal paint a picture. What does that look like June fifteenth. Well, we're right now one percent positivity. It's been the lowest in the nation. It's been that way for almost two and out three weeks. We're seeing this blueprint where the vast majority of counties are in orange and yellow, and we're gonna move beyond the blueprint on the fifteenth of June. So just in a number of weeks, and that world looks a lot like the
world we entered into before the pandemic. We're not wearing face coverings. We're not We're not, you know, restricted in any way, shape or form of doing the old things that we used to do, save huge, large scale indoor convention events like that where we'll use our common sense. But look, our vaccine numbers are still holding five hundred thirty three thousand shots in the last forty eight hours,
or thirty two almost thirty three million. So we keep that going, we're gonna hear a lot of horns of enthusiasm because we'll get out the other side by June fifteenth. Not wearing face coverings. They're saying in California, people are finally saying enough is enough. I think it's so interesting too that they say face covering. It has to be a mask, friends, if you're going to be even remotely and as you know, look, is there anybody that you've heard that is more that is basically more anti mask
than me? It has been all along. There's a handful that are as anti this nonsense as I am. But the point is if you think that, you know, having a like loosely draped handkerchief over your mouth is really doing a lot epidemiologically, I just don't even know what to say, Like, we're just this is absurd. Airflow going above it, airflow going below it, spreading out of the
air around you. There's no filtration, there's anyway though it's so oh, it's also people are also But like I said, it's not only is it's so dumb, but there's a there's a lunacy involved here. There's pandemic PTSD. It's real. And why is Gavin Newsom taking this position now? Though ah, yes, this is important, it's not because Gavin Newsom is such an honorable fellow who understands that he was being a
lockdown lunatic for so many months. It's that recall, baby, we all know that Newsome's not long for the governor's mansion if this continues. So, what's a good way to get people to stop thinking you're an authoritarian psycho putting in place or removing after having in place the strictest mandates in the country. That, I mean, he should feel like an idiot. He should feel like a fool, because
he is. He's a fool. They shut down outdoor dining, my friends, after telling people outdoor dining will always be fine. They shut down outdoor dining in California. No benefit, no benefit from it whatsoever, none, zero that they can point to. And then, as we know, Gavin Newsom went to French laundry and did his whole thing. I mean, he's he's
such a perfect politician for California. He's like, you know, I look goodness suit and I kind of just have this kind of gravelly, breathy thing going on and a lot of gel in my hair, and I'm just here to tell the great people of California that this is my best angle. You know. Is so this guy really should be like a soap opera actor, but instead he's Gavin Newsom. I know, it's it's remarkable to see his
fall from Grace. It's great. Though it's great. I can't tell you how happy I am that this clown he's going through what he's going through right now, because it shows that even in California, which has been overrun by leftist lunacy, there is still some albeit small, some hope of accountability for bad decision making. Is there any in this White House? Not yet, but people are start the figure out that there's some funky stuff going on. Andy Slavit,
for example, is out there being an asked. He's a senior advisor on COVID response this White House and journals are asked. I actually think some of the journals are curious about this because they're now finally able to put it together. Oh my gosh, Biden and a lot of these senior Democrats, masking really is the maga hat for them, For the left, Masking really is a symbol of politics
to them. You know, they were ignoring it in the past, or they couldn't believe, they couldn't bring themselves to believe it. It's very much true. Andy Slavit asked about this play too, and you're the vaccine guy. You're not the mask guy. But part of getting people vaccinated is to tell them their lives will be different, changed better if they get the vaccine. There is this Oval Office meeting yesterday with the President and the leaders of Congress. Everyone in this
room has been vacci needed. So why were they all wearing masks? And what message is that set? Well? Look, I think people who've been vaccinated are starting to get a little bit impatient with um, what can I do? You know, can I go indoors? Gonna take masks off? Etc. And I think the CDC is getting their step by step so right now you can do pretty much everything outdoors without a mask. You can do everything indoors if you're around vaccinated people without a mask. So why are
they all wearing masks in there? Yes, I don't think that. I'm not sure sure that the president is the average person. I personally think there's a lot of protections around the president. Why does he need lots of Secret Service agents? Why does he Why do they you know, belt and suspender everything with the president? Because there's a very important person. And I think you shouldn't take your mark just by what you see in the Oval Office. I think most people,
if you're indoors around other people, that are vaccinated. The cd says it's okay, and I think you should listen to the CDC on that. What the heck was that? Did you hear this? More on? I mean, just I'm playing the audio for you. You could hear yourself. Well, you know, the president of Secret Service protection. So yeah, that's to stop lunatics from trying to assassinate the president.
Has nothing to do with COVID, right. The Secret Service is not trying to karate chop viral particles in the air. They're not carrying around submachine guns because of the possibility of sub spittle from an aid, you know, becoming aerosolized and finding its way into Biden's you know, nasal farringal whatever you call it, nasal farynx. I believe, yeah, one
has nothing to do with the other. But he doesn't have an answer because you know what the real answer is, because I think Biden himself might be suffering from some degree of pandemic PTSD. I think for a lot of people, this the face covering was a security blanket for them, and it was a symbol to them, and they could wear this thing and think I'm a good, smart person who listens to the thalliance, and that was after a while, not only something that they they needed, but they enjoyed.
I'm just gonna say it, I think there are libs out there who enjoy this craziness. They like not not the pandemic, but they like mask conformity. It's a show of mass solidarity with government mandates and policy. If we can get everybody to wear masks, we can get everybody to lessen their CEO two footprint. If we can get everybody to wear masks, we can get everybody to hand in their firearms or else. Right, collective action, the moral
equivalent of war. Take it all the way back to the origins, the earliest days of mass propaganda in America, with the advent of Yes Radio in World War One, and you have a very clear connection and the messaging of the moral equivalent of war. Everyone has to move together and do what the state says, and we're all in this, and you know, don't be don't be questioning,
don't be an outsider. There's a lot of comfort, far too much of it among Democrats on this issue, and they I think they've really acclimated themselves to a world in which the government can restrict your physical comfort and freedom in whatever way it deems necessary, just based upon the fact that you're a human being who needs oxygen.
And that's why Andy Slavitt, who's supposed to be an expert on what's going on with COVID response and the vaccine, specifically bumbles like a moron on National TV when he's asked, why is old Man Biden vaccinated? Surrounded with the vaccinated and still wearing a mask indoors? Why is he doing it? Well, it's the same answers you get when they ask why is man Biden wearing a mask outside even though he's vaccinated.
The chance of him getting COVID and it being a severe event even if you were to get it is is something that should be ignored. But he won't do it because it was never about listening to the science. It was always about controlling you. If you were going into a completely crowded situation where people are essentially falling all over each other, then you wear a mask. But any other time, if you have vaccinated in your outside, put aside your mask, you don't have to wear it.
Put aside your mask, Fouchi says, under those specific circumstances, finally starting to say it. Take the damn mask off, lib loons, take it off. Stop if you're unvacced, I mean, if you're a vaccinated and outside and unvaccinitent outside, if you're alone or your family. That's the actual CDC guidance. But I want to let you know we found, courtesy of comedian Tyler Fisher fic h R, we found some very important additional Fauci guidance that we wanted to share
with you. Here very important Fauci guidance on how to avoid the COVID from our friend Tyler Fisher. Here's Fauci sort of play three. Look. I rarely admit I'm wrong, but I was wrong about children needing masks outside. They do not need a mask outside if they have a plastic bag over the head. Toss a clear bag over your kid's dome piece, duct tape around the neck so no droplets can come in or out. Poke a couple holes so they could breathe. Then. Heck, if they get hunger,
you can even throw a couple of Graham crackers in there. Now, it's not going to offer the perfect protection, so I'd even go ahead and dip your kids in a vat of boiling hot wax. It'll dry and sort of make a protective covid shell. Two straws in the nose so they could Breathe toss them in a crawl space of the attic, and then in three to nine to twenty five years you can pull them out, crack the shell, and they can get back to a normal life, playing
and going to school. It just makes common sense. It's gy. Tyler Fisher is amazing. He's really the only fauci that that might even exceed my own. I gotta say, he's doing a great job, really is. So you can you can follow if you want. He will actually make a well before I before I get into that, Before I get into that, let's just say you should definitely follow him. You can go to Tyler Fisher dot com as his website and tie the fish fi sch tie the fish and it's Tyler Fisher fi sh e r that's how
you spell his name. So he does great stuff, and his stuff is really really funny. I've actually well, it turns out, folks, we went deep into the vault, and it's maybe a big surprise to you. There is some specific Foucci advice out there about me. Buck Sexton about me, you know, and how you shouldn't listen to me when
it comes to protecting yourself from droplets. Here is more fake fauci play for Okay, so I'm gonna be doing a very special COVID safety protocol for the anti science Dare I say, master Buck Sexton, who claims this virus was drummed up, made up in a lab somewhere and we got a serious safety problem on this show. And I'm mostly doing this to protect your listeners. For starters, I don't see any protection on that very long, weird, gray, phallic looking microphone. I would put a mask on it.
Better yet four masks, or even based on the shape, you could throw a condom on it. And I'll say, I'm less concerned about you catching COVID from somebody else's droplets on that microphone. I'm actually more concerned that the microphone is gonna catch your virus, which is disinformation that you are spreading at a viral rate. You're like the hydroxycloroquin of podcasts untested and very dangerous. I'd say probably the only real thing on this podcast is your hairline,
which I'm a bit jealous of. This guy's great oh Man, Tyler Fisher folks uh F I s h e R Tyler Fisher dot com. And he will our favorite fake Faucci. He will do a cameo personalized Faucci impression for you. The cameo app you could go and you know, for a for a nominal fee, he'll do a little Faucci impression for you. So great thing to make to you know, send you a friend, maybe have a Faucci birthday message sent to a friend or whatever. So he's doing he's
doing a really good job. We appreciate it. I don't remember how, but Tyler um it seems like a really really nice guy. He knew that I played one of his clips earlier on the show. I guess it was last week, and he reached out and I said, I said, buddy, you're amazing. Your impressions are fantastic. He actually does a few very good impressions. And so he's a comedian and a good guy. You can check out his stuff there.
We really enjoyed that, though, droplets. That's he see. It's keywords, you know, like think like when I always talking about mitigation. You know, Fauci loves talking about mitigation. But he does always he always falls back of the droplets. You know, there are certain words that the Stalinist smurf uses that you need to just remember. Anyway, onto the reality here of of masks and where we are with all this. You have even CNN's doctor Sanjay Gupta um when it
came to Susan, So here's what happened. I think yesterday I play this for you. Susan Collins center of Collins, Oh Hash talked of never heard of perfect who Hash who is in the Senate and sort of talks like this. But Susan Collins, you know, she said that she doesn't really trust the CDC when it comes to the way they're expressing their guidance. Even Sanjay Gupta is like, yeah, as CDC has been losing some points Blade twelve. It pains me to say this, but I see where she's
coming from a senator columns on this. I mean, I think for a long time the concern was a CDC was providing guidance you know, at the beginning of the pandemic that was not scientifically based. As a result, we didn't do things that we should have done in this country that could have greatly mitigated what has happened here, and now I think it's almost a little bit of the reverse problem. The science is not necessarily being followed to the same extent, and as a result, we're probably
doing things that we don't need to be doing. So, you know, in the end, the CDC needs to be just a science based organization. What does the science say you don't need to wear a mask outside. It's just one of these things that you know, again, we've known this for some time. We didn't know in the beginning.
We've all learned a lot over the past year, but now we know it's not clear that there's really been any cases of outdoor transmission, to be a couple of cases throughout the last year in the entire world that have really been documented. So indoor masking, if you're vaccinated, I don't think you need to wear mask indoors either. So this is what the science is sort of showing, and I think the CDC just needs to probably say
that they're airing on the side of caution. I get it, you know, I think we've all been traumatized here, but I think, you know, at this point it has to be very clear what the science shows and what you can do as a result of that. Yeah, the lockdown Libs have been super traumatized because they've gone crazy over this because they weren't being rational and reasonable and this all got wrapped up with their anti Trumpist area early on, and then they couldn't separate the things, and we've all
had to deal with their where where's your mask? Or we're outside and you walk thirty feet away from me. We've been dealing with this for far too long as it is, So get a grip, Libs, take off your dumb mask. Our friend Pedro Gonzalez back in the mix. He's a senior writer at American Greatness. Go to American Greatness am greatness dot com. That's am Greatness dot com for his latest piece. Pedro always going to have you, hey,
but going to be here. So we have Liz Cheney out, which is so sad for the Democrats because now it's one less excuse to keep talking about the insurrection. But we're being told that at least Stephonic is being put forward by GOP leadership to take over. And everybody that I know that I trust on these issues who follows the Congress and the GOP within the Congress very closely,
has got not even questions concerns. What do you see here? Well, basically, I think that the whole row over Cheney and Stephonic and the way that it's being framed as this is a victory for the populists and that the establishment has been dealt with, well, I think it's completely wrong, and it's actually frustrating because I'm seeing a lot of people that I think are I respected, who are smart, kind of go all into this, like, Okay, great, we got
rid of Cheney. That's one rhino down, It's hold on, do you know who Stephonic is? Have you actually looked at Stephonic's record? And this is not a win really, Like, I'm not defending Cheney. I think she's terrible. I think that the Cheney name, just like the Bush name, should only be spoken to spite it and mock it. But it doesn't make any sense that you're replacing Cheney with
with someone who's actually worse than her. And the only redeeming factor about Stephonic in the eyes of some people, I guess, is that she has rhetorically been very pro Trump, But if you look at her voting record, that like the deep irony of this is that Cheney has voted more consistently in line with Trump than Stephonic ever did.
And that's just really the tip of the iceberg here With Stephonic, I just feel like it's it's too much to add ask at this point, Pedro, for people who care, who still care about the Republican Party in its future, to just let it go that it seems only rhinos get to be in leadership, you know, McCarthy, who's bunk mates with Frank Luntz and all that stuff. I mean, can we get somebody that feels like they're you know, the leadership on the left in the Democrat Party is
actually in leadership right? I mean, Nancy Pelosi is a limousine liberal and a big fake and doesn't actually care about the poor and minorities and all the rest of it. But she does deliver on left wing agenda items for them and does mouth the required talking points of a progressive always never deviates from it. On the right, why don't we get McCarthy, We get Chainey and other Saint Stefonic. Can we get somebody that we get, you know, Mitch
McConnell is the Senate Minority leader. Can we get somebody that actually wants to fight. Well, no, that's the message GPS sending. You know, you don't get that. And this and this is actually nothing new. It predates Trump. This we were talking about going back probably a few decades. This is what the GOP does. It takes the anger of its voters. It takes their their anger, their money, their time and attention, and it says, well, we'll offer you a real solution, we'll offer you an alternative to
the Democratic Party. And then also we're going to clean up our own party. And then you vote for them and you give them power and then they stab you in the back. And this is historically the one thing the GOP has been very good at is this is taking popular anger at the political establishment, at the uniparty and essentially assimilating it into that establishment by dressing it up as change, like this is it, this is the
this is finally it. We're really going to get rid of the rhinos, We're really going to beat the Democrats. But you don't you get the same thing every single time, and in fact, the GOP tends to lurch left like on all the really important issue they over time, they just tend to drift left while still retaining the pro business aspect of you know, like tax cuts and deregulation and things like that. And I think it's easy to miss all of this because because the Democratic parties is
so deranged and rhetorically so out of control. But like you said, a lot of this is fake. Like Nancy Pelosi's limousine Liberals, she lives in a gated community. She doesn't have to deal with any of the felons that she wants to release from prison or to deal with the consequence of mass immigration. Her neighborhood doesn't change, in
other words, as a result of her policies. But like you said, at least people on the left, Democratic voters, they tend to get more bang for their buck, whereas what Republican voters get is they get stabbed in the back and they get lied to. And so right now there's like I said, there's a lot of people that are buying into this whole like, oh, great, Stephonic is a real change, and it's something like they're going to realize inevitably, like oh, we were lied to again, Great,
they stabbed us in the back again. We're speaking of Pedro Gonzalez go to am Greatness American Greatness dot Com for his latest pieces where he's a senior writer. Pedro, you brought this story to my attention. I just I want to give everyone listening a little bit of background on it before we talk about how really troubling this is. This is the Washington Post, folks, so this is a liberal newspaper, and you know this isn't coming from some
blog somewhere. Get rid of Confederate rock or risk cult custody of multi racial daughter, court tells woman. Here's here's some of this. This piece by Timothy bella quote a rock near a woman's driveway in upstate New York could affect the custody case of her multi racial daughter. But it is not the rock itself that is potentially risking a mother's custody of her child. It is what's decorated
on the rock, the Confederate flag. Appella Justice with the New York Supreme Court on Thursday ordered a Tompkins County woman to remove the Confederate flag painted rock or risk a change in circumstances to the child custody case of
her young daughter. Justice Stanley Pritzker wrote in the unanimous five o decision that while the woman identified only as Christie B. B was protected under the First Amendment to display the Confederate Flag, the rocks presence through June one would force the court to reconsider the joint custody she has with the girl's father. Just one more thing here,
pedro quote. Given that the child is of mixed race, it would seem apparent that the presence of the flag is not in the child's best interests, as the mother must encourage and teach the child to embrace her mixed race identity rather than thrust her into a world that only makes sense through the tortured lens of cognitive cognitive dissonance. Judge Pritzker wrote for the Supreme Courts Third Department in
New York State, what the heck? This is a judge telling you how to decorate your house, what political views to have, and how to raise your kids. I mean, that's what it boils down to. And I think it's it's for a lot of people. They're going to read this story, They're they're going to see the Confederate flag thing, and they're probably gonna feel, maybe instinctively, like, oh, I you know, maybe there is something wrong about this about the Confederate flag or like that, they'll focus on the
tech curation part. In other words, but that's I think that's actually a huge miss. That's not. The important part
of the story is not the Confederate flag. It's the fact that there's here's a judge saying that the political views and opinions of the parent of the parents are harmful to the children without actually having to demonstrate any actual harm, and then threatening you to change your your views and if you don't change your views, change the way that you've actually arranged your personal belongings, or we're going to take away your kid. I don't understand why
this is not a huge story. It should be, because the first thing that came to my mind is because I'm a little bit sarcastic, was, oh, thank god, at least we don't live in a repressive country like China, where unelected managers can just arbitrarily tell you how to think, how to speak, what opinions to have, and how to decorate your house. It's amazing, I mean, it's stunning you brought this to my attention. I was just I thought, well, what do you mean? And sure enough, there's some news
coverage of this. But I want to say, where are conservatives on this? And I'll just say this outline. I mean, I'm I'm not somebody who you know tends to you know,
over I try. I should say not to overreact to government overreach, right, because it But if they if they can do this given the realities of discourse on the left these days about how we live in an entirely white supremacist society, and how far is this from a court saying, you know, you are a parent who objected at one of these recent uh you know, pta meetings to a critical race theory and you have a multi racial child, you know, so we might have to actually
affect your custody of that child because you don't support critical race theory. I don't see how that's not a logical conclusion from this, right, And in states like Tennessee right now, where you have attempts to ban critical race theory, teachers are just rejecting it. Like in other words, it's okay for you to break the law when when the law is actually written as such, when when you're doing
it from a kind of left wing position. But on the other hand, if if the judge that you're dealing with is himself a leftist, like the rules don't apply that way, Like you can't if you basically if you try to do the same thing from the right, like, well, I'm going to ignore what this judge says, You're gonna lose your kid. It doesn't. This only goes one way in other words, And I think that this is actually
cause for concern. And I'm like you, like I try not to get too worked up about the news because if I did, I would go insane, and especially government over each because this is the world that we live in now. But this is definitely, I think, a new step in the wrong direction. And in the background you also have an Attorney General, Merrick Garland saying that domestic extremism of the white variety is the greatest danger of
this country faces. So you have a kind of a new kind of legal system that is emerging that is going to i think normalize this kind of thing where if you have the wrong opinions, if they smell wrong, if you're not towing the line, like the ideological line that everyone is bowing to, which is I think encapsulate by the critical race theory narrative, which is America's bad white people are bad, America's racist, Then you're actually going
to start not just seeing things like people losing their jobs, but you know, are you like, what could happen to your family? I don't want to get I guess two ahead of it, but I think the threat of this is real. A court just threatened to take away someone's kid because of basically their political opinions are on display. That's not an exaggeration to be deeply concerned about that, Pedro. I wonder what it will take. I wonder what it will take for the Republican Party to finally have really
a unified message about going on offense. When it comes to school curriculum, critical race theory, and speech, it feels to me like we're still in this zone of we want to preserve a neutral public square where we don't want to tell people, you know, we don't want to you know, teach patriotism, or we don't want to tell
people to love there. We just want everyone to be able to And it feels like that has been a losing strategy to the point now where we are defending, so to speak, on the football field, on the goal line. When it comes to free speech, when you see what's going on in this story and so many others. Yeah, well, I don't actually know if the Republican Party can do this because the Party, it's kind of like a zombie. It doesn't seem to change no matter what it gets
hit with or what comes at it. It just keeps strudging along and absorbs whatever happens and finds a way to kind of exist in that space. But for my part, I think that we should actually take the gloves off. And if we ever do, and we hopefully will have another shot at the White House and another shot at having control of both the White House and the Congress, I think that we should actually take up what would
be considered radical measures right now with the GOP. One example that I've had on my mind is the National on Downland for the Humanities. This is an agency that supports research, education, and public programs and the humanities. In other words, this is an institution that helps cultivate taste and opinion. Right, So, organizations institutions like this, they're all
controlled by the left. And what does that mean. But it means that the curriculum, the arts, things like that, they're all influenced by these left wing currents and So the the GOP the right wings position right now is that, well, these institutions shouldn't exist and we should totally smash it and like decentralize everything. Is that really the solution. Do you think that getting rid of organizations like this would make critical race her to go away? I think it
would actually probably just make it worse. People would just teach whatever they want. And in other words, like we think we're creating we basically think we're creating neutral space, but we just create power vacuums. Even if we get our way, that will be filled by some other note of power. I was yeah, I was about to say nature hates a vacuum, and that's that's what you would have. You would have a vacuum and surprise who would fill it?
You know who? So I think that the things that we should think about is we should actually take a page out of the Left book and we should want to take control of organizations like the National endown the hand Humanities and use them to actually support research, education and public programs that make patriotic citizens, make people who don't hate their country and don't hate their ancestors. Why is this radical? I don't know why the GOP thinks
this is so radical. It's this position of like, hold on, if we'll think about it, If we use government, what happens of our enemies use government? Are you kidding me? Your enemies are using government to crush you right now? I don't like, when are you going to get the memo that it's not that you're losing, You've already lost.
And if you're not willing to do things that are that radical and then go the next step, like I also think that we should consider abolishing tax exemption subsidies and federal contracts for academic and professional institutions that support the basic narrative of like critical race theory. If you're not willing to take these radical steps, then you're just basically playfighting. Pedro Gonzalez am Greatness dot com for his latest writing, Pedro always insightful. My friend talked to you soon.
Thank you buck Well. In this case, this was an issue about how a cyber attach impact is a pipeline that's there. I'm not sure it really speaks to the number or quantity of pipelines or their throughput. I do think it reminds us that we need to make sure that we have the most resilient and flexible infrastructure for the future, especially when it comes to something like energy.
We've now had. You could argue two major wake up call experiences, one in Texas and now one here, each with a different cause, but both reminding us about the work that we have to do as a country. Some truth they're from our transportation secretary, Buddha judge, Yeah, that's right. This guy is in fact a cabin official about how yeah, we need we need more redundant and more durable infrastructure. But they're going to want to make it windmills, folks.
That's the problem. They don't they don't take the right lessons from the reminders that we have here. They're not going to move in the right direction. This, This is part of the problem. We can't even agree on the basics of how to address challenges with things like infrastructure with the Democrats. I also note that it's reporting today out there that Colonial paid a five million dollar ransom
for for whever this Russian hacker collective is. It's gonna say it right now, folks, getting ready for a lot more ransomware attacks all over the place. You know they're gonna be coming after us. They're gonna be coming after everything they can now with this. So that's this could lead to some really really big issues. And I don't think the Biden team is I don't think they're on it. I think that's fair to say. They don't make me feel safe and warm at night. All right, it's time
for some truth bombs from our friend, Colonel Kirk. That's right, Kurt Selector, everybody's senior writer at townhall dot com. And yes, as he has had to explain to me full bird colonel, that lieutenant colonel stuff for our friend Kurt, how are you doing, buddy, Well, I didn't want to be associated with ah, that's right or as or as I believe.
I believe one of my old old colleagues from the from the community referred to him as lieutenant colonel pork chop was I think, but was paying shared for for a while. So tell me tell me this man. I it's like this week is is what all of a sudden I feel look bad for the country, but good for reality. Right, bad things happening, but reality for those of us who still try to live it into setting in that we have a clearly deteriorating not up for
the job. Mediocrity even twenty years ago in Joe Biden, who is not able to handle crises and in fact is cause with decisions major problems in the country, whether it's the economy, the border, or energy, all kinds of things. At least, the truth is coming out, Kurt, despite the best efforts on the other side. Well, the truth is
coming out, Buck. The truth is that the one American who's happy about the president Asterisk administration is Jimmy Carter, because now he's not the worst president of the last century. You think Jimmy Carter, though, I feel like Carter is smarter than Joe Biden. Carter went to Naval Academy. You know, I think he had bad ideas, but I feel like he's a sharp guy. I actually think Joe Biden is, you know, as really dumb as a doornawn. I don't
know what else to say. I mean, I know, he mouths the right talking points and he sort of plays the part of politician. But it's like we've got this this actor who should have been long retired, who's actually the commander in chief, and and it's a disaster. It's a disaster on every level. From the new standard is paying off foreign bandits who shut down our infrastructure, abandoning
our allies. We got gas lines back. Inflation's coming. Hey, everything's proving, And Kurt, what is it that it's gonna What do you think has to happen here for it to become more apparent? I guess because because here's my thesis. Let's just take a few of these crisis I want to work through a handful of them with you. The border.
One hundred and eighty thousand people apprehended last month. Almost all of them are just showing up and surrendering themselves to the border, which means, hey, here, I am border patrol, Get me a sandwich, Start processing me so I can be let free in the United States. That's what it
actually means for people who may or meta. Maybe they're held for a few days maximum a week or two, but then they're in the US and there and they're good to go, and they're they're actually waving down and saying, hey, border patrol, come get me. And they don't cuff them or anything. They're just moving them in buses to facilities. You're trying to make nice all the time. Biden does not want to fix this. I think That's what people don't really get yet as the degree they need this
is this is what he's poor. And there's going to be you know, and of course there's going to be consequences because at some point we're going to have a president to Santas or other one who's going to say, okay, time to go. But but but the dreamers, No, no, we're not doing that, and it's going to be much much worse. But yeah, you know, you gotta understand that the deep down, people like Joe Biden hate this country and hate the people who make it up, and they
think some of themselves as different. They're better the rest of us. You know, we just need to be you know, diluted with foreigners and others who will elect Democrats forever. That's their plan. They'll tell you that. On the economy, we're speaking of Kerchlicht, your senior writer at townhall dot com.
On the economy, we had almost eight hundred thousand jobs short of expectations last month, which, you know, eight hundred thousand jobs here, a million jobs there that don't materialize starts to feel like real jobs numbers, right, It starts to feel like this is an indicator of some kind the consumer price index up what was a four point two percent? I think the most recent, most recent numbers.
Inflation is starting to hit, and the Biden team is basically still talking about spending four trillion more dollars and setting up a whole lot of electric charging stations and windmills. Well, look, I mean, you know it's his constituents to drive the Tesla's. I hear your Tesla. Hey, but I'm just gonna tell you, I actually know some right wingers who like Tesla's. Well,
they say they're pretty cool. I mean, the Prius is the ugliest, and for those listeners, if you listen to the show you driver Prius, I'm sorry, we still love you. The Prius is the ugliest vehicle ever designed. But it was a great platform to signal how much you love the earth. I actually think some of the tests look pretty cool. You have your co Exist bumper sticker on the back, the arm with her, or the I hate
test fosterone. Yet it's a great car. I mean, you know, it's up there with the Subaru in terms of nobody has to guess your politics when you're driving around, like there's no there's no Subaru drivers who are like, yeah, I'm on my way to the range after you know, working with my hands all day at my small business,
and you know, really I could do push ups. Um, you know, I think normal Americans would be a lot happier to have highways that weren't falling apart and gas that didn't cost six plus a gallon, which is hitting in LA. Isn't that also something that's supposed to result in people getting you know, there's there's always a talk people who will crunch the numbers on this. Uh, they will be frustrated with whatever the government in charge may
be when gas prices go up. Yet there's also the media telling us sixty three percent approval in the most recent ap whatever whatever play favorite. No, there's just no way. I'm sorry, Now, how do they think that we're supposed to expect that? You know that mister McGoo Biden is actually now getting effectively thirteen percent of Republicans to be like, yeah, doing a great job. Yeah, that's uh, you know, that's
quite a stretch. But of course, when your sample size is like four Republicans and three hundred Democrats, and maybe maybe you can come up with that the fact is that most normal people don't really listen to the media. They do notice when they walk out of the grocery store or drive away from the gas station considerably poorer. Yeah, I lived through this before, and Jimmy Carter s I was a little kid, you know, I lived through it before.
It takes a while, but but it builds, and I think I think twenty twenty two is going to be a slaughter for Democrat. I mean, I think you just get get wiped out. I certainly hope that that's where we're heading. But I also wanted to get your opinion, because, well, Colonel Kurt is our army vetter. You're still are you still? National Guard? Now? By retired retire? Okay, right, so Colonel
Kurt's fully outfully retired. Now. He's a veteran, but also a lawyer, and you understand some of the legal realities that would come into play with this. I don't even know if you saw the story, didn't ask about it beforehand. Palm Beach police have reportedly discussed Trump's possible extradition to New York if he's indicted. What is going on here? I think I think that's a very dangerous game that they're playing. I could see Governor de Santa saying no,
which he can do under Florida law. I think you really push things to a point of crisis by attempting to imprison the your your opponent in the next election potentially. And uh, I think they're stupid enough to try it. You think they might actually do it. You think that you think that cy vans to be the forever hero to the resistance and the Libs and the left would drop an indictment on Trump and demand his arrest and extradition from Florida to New York to stand trial for it.
You know, we all would probably be some accounting Trump organization thing, right, that's what they're trying to get him on. I mean, the most mickey mouse nonsense possible. Yeah, this is really dangerous. And the Supreme Court, when it allowed some of this idiocy to go forward, did no one any favors, uh, you know, attempting to protect the legitimacy of the institution. It's going to cause a considerable considerable harm. Yeah, I'm worried about it because I think the the Libs
are crazy. The Libs are crazy, that's for sure. Our friend kurtch looked at everybody townhall dot com for his lady's Kurt, thanks so much, thanks for having me. Joe Biden keep saying that he doesn't think he's supposed to answer questions. I understand that we're gonna be told by the press, by all the people protecting Biden all the time.
I don't mean secret Service protection, I mean his journalist protectors, that this is just his way of you know, he's folks, are Joe, you know, he's He's just you know, oh gush, oh gee, golly, gush. You know, if I just keep on, if I just keep on pretending like I'm just all shucks. You know, I'm just one of the guys from Scranton. You know, write amtrack, you know, I do all the I'm on the chew chew, you know, just lunch pale, Joe just showing up to DC for over forty years
working in the Senate. But you know, don't worry about any of that. I'm I'm just like you. They figure that if Joe can keep that charade up, it means that the criticism against him will be somewhat muted. But here's how it goes. When Joe decides to get off script, get away from his handlers and actually answer some questions. Thank you? Which one? Which one of the twelve I've had introductors? And you guys are bad. I'm not supposed to be answering all these questions. I supposed to leave,
but I can't resist your questions. UM. I came away encouraged, and but I want to make it clear to you I'm encouraged not just because of a solid meeting with UM, with uh the Republican leader in the House, and with with Mitchell or Sandon McConnell, who I've known a long long time and work with. I've been meeting with bipartisans leaders for a long time now. I've met with gosh knows how many, I mean, And there's more more than one single group. There's bipartisan orging to you know, groups
and made up of ten or twenty members. There's been groups that I met with. For example, I met with yesterday with Kristen Cinema. I thought that was a and she purported and I believe her to speak for some of the bipart of her friends who are Does this sound like the leader of the free world? Do you?
I mean? Does this sound like a person who has a vision for the country and has the dynamism and the leadership skills to take us through some stormy times, because I gotta tell you, I think we're heading into those stormy times right now. It should be easy for Biden and this administration relatively speaking. I know, being president the hardest job in the world. Actually, don't think that's true.
You know those guys that do the fishing off the coast of Alaska, Well, if you're like me and you get c sick, that's that's got to be the hardest job in the world. That just brutal, beyond words. I don't know how anybody does that, Honestly, I know they make pretty good money, But to me, it's just unthinkable that it's the hardest job. Anyway, we always hear the presidency is the hardest job all Joe Biden. The Democrats
really had to do here. All they had to do was get out of the way of the American people, the American economy. But they have an authoritarian democrat socialist view. They have emotionally and psychologically internalized the idea, the central premise that the government always needs to be doing something to make everything better, whether it's the economy or the fight against COVID or whatever it may be. That government action is always the answer, and you need more of it,
just like you need more government spending. You know, they've got a fever and the only prescription is more government spending, as we've already seen, and this results in some pretty obvious but bad stuff. The inflation that's already taking up the challenges that are are already apparent. With what should be a boom in the economy, we should be rocking
and rolling with the economy. Instead, people are really worried, you know, gas prices that they're trying to hide behind the fact that yes, the colonial pipeline cyber attack that has occurred here has we don't even know what that's going to do to gas prices. We just know that there are gas lines, that it's a disaster, that it's it's a very unfortunate circumstance for those folks in the southeastern United States who currently can't get fuel for their vehicles.
But we all we know that the gas prices were already going up across the country well before this. About fifty increase in the average gas price is what I've seen for last month in April. That's really substantial. Gas prices are flying up per gallon, and it's attributable. You can see it. It's attributable to Biden policies, Biden approach, the printing of money, and just the general the anti anti fossil fuel mania that motivates so much of the
Democrat Party today. But but here's buying again, unscripted off the cuff. No, I gotta I gotta answer some more questions. So here I am. You know, no joke, folks, I just I just want to answer more questions. No, no joke, both sides of the aisle about how to deal how to go forward with infrastructure. So I'm generically, I'm encouraged that there is room to have a compromise on a bipartisan bill that's solid and significant and the means by which to pay for it without dropping all of the
all of the burden on middle class and working class people. Look, what's the one thing people are concerned about with a gas? Gasoline price is going up? Exactly right, Yeah, what's the what's the one thing? You know, the price the price of the gas goes up. What goes up must must come down. But not when I'm in office, because it's
just going to keep going up. And it matters if you make forty thousand dollars a year, It matters if you're two family person that making eighty ninety thousand dollars, two family, two way journeys. It matters. And what I don't want to do, and this will be another discussion we didn't get into today, is how to pay for it. And if everything is paid for by a user fee, well then you know, the burden falls on working class folks who are who are having trouble. We're getting them
out of They're coming around. But it has this has to be a burden shared across the spectrum anywhere. It's got to be shared, shared across the spectrum. Yeah, good old amtract. Joe. Yeah he's got he's got you on his mind. Sure he does. Yeah, I know. The whole pretense, the whole Biden routine gets very old, very quickly, doesn't it. It's the same thing all the time. No, I'm just here for the folks, you know, I'm just here for
the working class folk. Joe Biden has a three million dollar mansion I think in Delaware that he lives in his house in DC. In the past was a twenty thousand dollars a month rental. It was actually in McLean, Virginia. I think it was He's worth, you know, fifteen million dollars or something like that. The guy has never had to worry about a mortgage payment in his life. Because the guy's been working as a senator for decades now.
They make a decent salary. He's got plenty of other ways to pat his income, as you know, books, speaking, engagements, that kind of stuff, which is really just the way that corporate America in a lot of cases launders money to politicians. That's right. What do you think they were doing with Hillary Clinton? Halloa? Hillary? Remember her, She's still out there somewhere lurking. She's not done. I'll still be president. Hillary still thinks that she has a chance. Don't think
that she doesn't. She's just waiting for the opportunity. But anyway, what do you think all those one hundred and fifty two hundred and fifty thousand dollars an hour speeches were about. I think it's because people really love hearing Hillary's voice so much. I mean, you know, my impersonation of it really captures the essence, if not an exact likeness of her voice, and it was a way for companies to get in good with somebody they thought was going to
be a future president of the United States. Well, Joe Biden's had plenty of ways to make money. His son has had plenty of ways to make money. That's right,
Hunter Biden, as we know. But I just I can't stand this populism bullcrap that he's pulling here, because you know, if it matters when there's higher prices, if it matters when there's you know, more pain at the pump for American workers, his policies and the decisions that the Democrat left are making are what's causing those problems, right, They bemoan issues, whether it's they don't talk about crime very much because they haven't figured out how to spin it really,
but you know, they either on crime. What they do is they just distract. They talk about cops and police violence when they should be talking about how to stop violence in cities across the country from continuing to rise. But with the economy, it's just always emotion. It's oh, you know, I feel your pain. I mean, that's that's what they do with economic activity. But what they should or economic policy. What they should be saying is Wow,
we are managing to stall out. I mean, the economy is on a launchpad because we have an artificial government created recession as a result of COVID and the lockdowns. It's ending. We should see a boom and we'll probably see you know, expansion and GDP growth and everything, but it's not going to be what it should be, not even close because of Biden. And once that boom goes, you know, or rather once that phenomenon plays out, I think it's going to be not much of a boom.
Then you'll see the real impact of the inflation and the other challenges here. So this is this is my concern. Biden is just he's not up for it, folks. He never was set no party like a Team Buck party, because a Team Buck party don't stop. It's time for roll call. Roll call everybody, Facebook dot com, Slashbuck, Sexton Teambuck at iHeartMedia dot com if you want to email
us broucer Mark. Though, before we get to the roll call, there's something that we have to share with everybody, something truly amazing, something mind blowing in all the worst possible ways. Would you please share with everybody build Blasio trying to entice, trying to seduce New York into getting vaccinated. Get vaccinated? Um, I got vaccinated. You're saying I could get this? You delicious rife? Why Matt? But there's also a burger element to this. Let me let me check what Bill needs heart?
Is it too early in the day to to just could be breakfast? Okay? I want you to look at this and think about again. Some people love hamburger. Some don't really want to respect all ways of life. But if this is appealing to you, just think of this when you think of vaccination. M doccinated from right. I'm getting a very good feeling about vaccination right this moment. I've never been so h disgusted at the notion of having a medical procedure of any kind done to me. Mark?
Why is he so gross? Why is the mayor of New York so horrible? The videos even better? Just search it on Twitter if you want to see it for the listeners. I don't know a buck if you've seen Ayet, but he's literally just shoving the burger down his face. How did Shakeshack approve this? Even Shakeshack will be you know, I'm sure, there's a their left leaning company, but still nobody wants to build a Blasio shoving one of their burgers down their mouth. There's this war you can do
when your vaction act. Yeah, it's just so oh gosh, he's such as de Blasio. You you barbarous savage, you oh my gosh crazy. That guy is the worst. It really is the worst. And producer Mark, I'm gonna tell you something else that I gotta share it through right now because I'm telling you this. Uh, I'm telling you this in real time, buddy, Okay. As you know, um, I live pretty high up in New York. My apartment, while very small, is pretty pretty high up in the sky.
Which the only nice thing is that while I'm doing radio all day long, it feels like I at least
have some pretty good views. But right now I am as I talk to you, I am staring at a because there's another it's a tall building near me, and it's right it's right next to me, and there is clearly a guy, one of my neighbors, in the next building over who thinks that it's only office buildings which are basically all empty right now around him, because he is wandering around his rooftop, but naked and now his leg oh gosh, just laying out and sunbathing. And I'm like,
I'm not trying. I'm obviously not trying to look at all. I can't see any detail other than when he's back is turt like he's far enough away that I you know, I can't really see anything. But what is back is earned. The rear view makes it fair, makes it very clear that he is going full moon here, buddy. You know, he's given us the full we're getting. We're getting both both cheeks view from the from the elevated position. I'm in, Oh, man, I don't know. Pleasant Yeah, you know, it's like one
of these things you can't unsee. I mean it was I thought just by the way, you know, he went up there, and I'm like, this guy, is he about to do the the Is he about to start naked sunbathing on his roof because you know, and and he's got a little dog that's following him around too. Anyway, Yeah, a private rooftop like the yes, yes, yes, no, it's it's like the penthouse of a nearby building and it's private.
So he thinks that because there really are there's only a couple of buildings around that are taller than his building, and so he's like mister penthouse guy with the outdoor roof deck. And the other two buildings are commercial office buildings and like no one's in them. But I'm in my building, and I gotta tell you I didn't need to see what I just saw, all right, I'm just putting it out there. Cover up, buddy. You know, tan
lines aren't the end of the world. That this sounds like one of the worst parts of living in Manhattan, though, I can't believe. I can't imagine it's very common. Yeah, no, it's it's a remarkable circumstance. I mean, I'll just tell you either he's either no, no, it's I was gonna say, maybe he's wearing a flesh colored bathing suit. No, I don't. I don't think so. Actually turns around. Yeah, oh gosh, I can't. No, no, but I can't see the front view. You know that I can't really, but I but the
cheeks from behind are pretty apparent. So I'm by the way, just for everyone. I'm not looking at this anymore. I'm just I was I saw for a second here I am doing a radio show trying to be a professional and you know it. Just folks, this is a PSA. If you're in your yard or whatever, just understand your site lines. You know what I'm saying. You know, if
you want to avoid tan lines. I know we all want more outdoor time, just know your lines a site from your neighbors, because you know, we need to be civilized. We need to be civilized because there are some people who can walk around naked. They look good enough to do that. Then there's people like me and you who should know. I'm not a nude beach guy. I mean, have you I will a true story Proucer Mark. This is when the this is when the confessions come out on the show. I have been to a nude beach.
I did not go nude. Like guy was like, not not happening, Not happen. Yeah, they're very common in Europe. I've been to a nude beach. I did not go. I was like, I don't, I can't, I can't, I can't do this. I just this is not it wasn't keep it. There are other there were other people wearing
bathing suits. It was clothing optional kind of a beach, you know, because I feel like if everybody else is going he's going nude beach, then you're like the weirdo who actually has a bathing suit on, you know what I mean. I don't think I could ever bring myself to do that. Yeah. So anyway, and then what was my other my other observation in this believe it or not, there is a there are still athletic clubs that are in New York City where they have nude swimming in
the pool. It's true, there are a couple of them left. There used to be a lot of them when I this is the New York Athletic Club when I was growing up, you some of the adults would would swim songs clothes because it was kind of been part of the spa and everything else. They would they would go, they would swim in the in the Olympic sized pool there. Anyway, I don't know how we started talking about nuderty so much today, but it is, you know, well I know
I do know because I got the full moon. As I'm trying, I'm trying to do a high quality, family friendly radio show and I don't need these kinds of visual distractions in New York City. Sir I will have, you know, more reasons to move to Florida. Yeah, well there, I mean, you know, there you get a lot of a lot of people walking around that you know, they don't wear a lot of clothing, and you're like, wow, you must work out, you know. Yeah, but at least
they work out and look good, That's what I'm saying. Yeah, at least, you know, here in New York we get a lot of people like me or Pasty, you know, and spend a lot of time at a desk. All right, let's get into actual roll call now before I continue to go down this uh on this rabbit hole here. Um, we have producer Mark. We're just going to expect going forward that you will give us any update on Marks
Mark's moving trials and tribulations. Because my theory here is that moving is something that everybody it's it's one of those things that sucks so much that moving we can all relate to it, you know, true, And I would love to know what I'm moving to a book that it's news to me at this point. Yeah, we know it's we know it's to happen soon. We know it's
gonna happen soon. Um, and I just picture missus Mark like pointing at things and saying like move that, and you're like, okay, honey, you know, because that's the way it would be for me. So that's how that works, all right, sal First up here, hey Buck, check it in again. I've got two questions for you in regards to Liz Cheney. I have problems with her ego and obvious power grab, but other than that, I think it's important to realize how often she voted alongside Trump, which
Stefanic hardly ever did. Liz has infuriated me with her hypocrisy and what should be done with her Onto question two. In my mind, I believe the Democrats will fully federally legalize marijuana to try and create an influx of money to pay for all the trillions of dollars they seem to spend every month. Am I crazy? Or do you think that is likely? Looking forward to the Siege of Malta Part two, Shields High Um so uh yeah, man, A couple of things here. First of all, Um, her hypocrisy, yes,
I understand, and Stefanic. I do believe that with with Stefanic there's a big look we talked about on the show today, it's a big concerning I mean, she's not particularly conservative. She says good things about Trump, but her voting record is pretty pretty weak centrist. So that's and that's not what we want for leadership within the GOP. Democrats fully federalized, fully legalizing marijuana at the federal level. Um, do you think that's likely? I look, I think Democrat.
I think they probably could do it. I think that the country is ready for it. I think that federally legalizing U marijuana could could happen. And um, yeah, that's what I would say. I think the federally legalizing marijuana is something that is likely to happen, and it so that that's for real. I think that could will that pay No, then federally. So here's the thing about legalizing marijuana. Marijuana is not that hard to grow, not that I know.
All right, before anybody goes whoa book, he man, he's like, good the weed predc market. Yeah, he's just like meek you know, you know, no, we don't. We're not weed guys here. Um, but it's not hard to do. And so when the if you're not going to go to prison for growing marijuana, a lot of people are going to be growing marijuana, so and then that means it's not going to really be taxable, right think about it.
It's it's one thing like like my parents will grow, you know, they'll grow like tomato vines and herbs in their little patio garden, and you know that's what. That's nice and it's you know, very it's nice to do, it's fun and it's tastes good. But you know, weed is very expensive. I mean, if you could, if you were somebody who really wanted marijuana and you could grow it and save yourself hundreds and hundreds of dollars by doing it, depending on how much we do you smoke,
I guess people will do it. So I don't think that it's the huge uh, you know, it's not going to pay for the trillions of dollars of spending. Nowhere even near that, I mean not even in the universe of that. As for Siege of Multi part two, Yes, planning to tape it this weekend. That is the plan south So now I'm hoping to deliver on that. All right, two weekends in a row that the plan was to record Cigeremalta. Wait, what two weekends in a row that your plan was to record part two. Yes, it's a
it's an extensive plan. I'm just I'm backing up the listeners a lot of people, right, No, I understand. But you know, it's kind of like the Siege Itself producer Mark, which had a tremendous unpredictability and went longer than expected. You know, I'm just if I publicly shame you for you actually do it. So that's what I'm doing. I'm helping the listener. That is true. Yes, Mark, Mark is
the listeners. Ms. Budsman. By the way, I'm actually I actually am starting to I'm actually starting to think that uh that rooftop man. He's wearing like a like like a pink man KINI anyway, I'm not but I'm not looking. I'm not looking. I'm just anyway, all right, I'm not look I caught it. I'm trying to look at my computer and it just sort of, you know, it just was good. It's this guy's walking around. He's Mark. He's right in my field. Division. You know what you're gonna do.
You're gonna go across the street, call in and finish the show that way, and we'll do an interview with you. I'd be like, hey, buddy, we think you're the naked rooftop guy. Welcome to an actually syndicated radio show. Are you actually naked? Are you just wearing a a very very small bathing suit as a guy as it could be either one? All right, Um, where where? Where the heck? We're oh no, we're gonna come back into more roll
call here in just a second. Don't go anywhere, all right, continuing with roll call, ready to finish things up here, Let's get to it. We have our friend. Um, let's see here, Jeremiah Buck. I agree with you one hundred percent about Trump not running in twenty twenty four. I like the guy, and he was a great president. He proved that low tax, free market economic values, and strong
America First foreign policies work. I also loved how he fought back instead of backing down like Republicans usually do. But unfortunately he's now damaged goods. I believe he turned off a lot of people before the election with his abrasive personality, and turned off even more with his post election actions, especially after January sixth. Whether he was right and justified as irrelevant enough people turned their backs on
him after that. I don't think he can recover. He needs to use his clout and power to get behind someone younger and with maybe a little more tack. Thanks Buck and producer Mark love the show Shields High. Yeah, Jeremiah, you know, I just I don't think Trump is going to run for a variety of reasons. I think that the age factor, and also I just think that, you know, the possibility of think about what he look he gave
us four years and a political movement. I think now we take the movement and we build on it, and we take it to the next level. If we lose, you we lost when he was an incumbent, that's one thing. If we lose while he's an incumbent and then we lose again a re election effort, that is going to be something that really stains his legacy, and I think
people would rightly have real questions about that. So that's kind of where I am on it, all right, Alex Hey, bucking Mark, there are two questions I have Right around when Biden was elected, you thought he was going to resign before the mid terms. I agreed with you, But now he seems a lot more coherent than I thought he would be. And I'm having doubts that he will resign. Second, do you still think that desantists will run for president
and win? After Trump had said he is one percent considering running and will consider DeSantis as a vice Thank you for reading. Keep doing a great job by u, or great job guys, Alex. Yeah, Look, Biden's probably he's gonna make it through the midterms in office, and that I think that's not a surprise at all. I do think that he is not gonna want to run for reelection, and he's even said stuff like that himself in the past, so that that doesn't seem to me to be a
stretch at all. So we'll continue to do what we can here, will continue to focus in on what what's likely to happen with his Biden administration and try to be early on the trends. But yeah, I don't know, man, no one. As I was telling you, nobody can predict the future. Nobody knows.
