Biden Vows To Beat Joe Biden

you're great American Again. The Buck Sexon Show begins analyst, he's a great guy. Now, welcome everybody to the Buck Sexton Show. I trust you had a good holiday weekend, time with friends, family, time to reflect a bit on what the weekend really means. Hopefully you're at least able to zoom call with loved ones if you weren't able to be with them. I'm increasingly intolerant of the insanity

out there. I increasingly find myself unable to excuse the extreme fearmongering that's still going on, especially as I walk around and see people who are as I did yesterday here in New York City, I took a stroll down the Hudson River, once the most important waterway in America and the early years of our republic, and now a river that feels like doesn't get much attention. But I took a walk along it beautiful day, and there are people bicycling, jogging with masks on, jogging and bicycling with

masks on. This has become absurd beyond words. There's no reason for this. And if it were just people making this decision, if it were people who decided for themselves that they were they were going to take this step, that's fine. But you are expected to do this as well.

You're expected to do this. There's a video that went viral over the weekend of people in Staten Island, New York who saw someone in a grocery store who did not have a mask on, and instead of just going up to management, instead of saying, hey, would you mind

putting on a mask? Which I also think, let's remember the chance that this person happens to be this person happens to have a viral load that is transmissible is about one less than one percent by the numbers, So you've got a person who is ninety nine percent likely to be entirely healthy, no risk to anyone who doesn't have a mask indoors. I understand businesses can request that people wear a mask, but remember it's also a state mandate,

so it's not really just private businesses. This is a government mandate that private businesses have now adopted because they've been told to. So it's a little more complicated than just the free market is speaking. No, this is Cuomo. This is various governors, various officials in cities across the country. This is their decision. And this is still happening here while God bless you. Down in Texas, down in Georgia, down in Florida, people are living their lives again. Wow,

what a thing that is. But there was this gathering in Stein Island, a lot of cursing, a lot of nastiness. They gathered together in a mob. They were just missing the torches and the pitchforks, screaming at this person, you know, to get out of you know, get the bleep out of here, and bleep this and bleep that. And look, it was stann Island, so people are going to have the salty language. But they were yelling and saying you must leave right away. And that was the gentle way

of saying it. And I see this, and I just I'm angry because of this mob mentality that has shown up. And it's also a reminder that this is this is not voluntary, right, this is now all being driven by fear, by paranoia, by government mandate. Cases are going down dramatically. They have gone down. I mean the point now in New York, the worst place in the whole country for COVID nineteen, we're at APLE a couple of hundred new

hospital admissions a day. We were at a few thousand, so we're at a tiny fraction of where we were. And yet somehow people are more terrified than ever because

oh my gosh, if we reopen, then we're all gonna die. No, it turns out we're not all going to die from this, well we are, I mean, as I am find of pointing out, we are in fact all going to die, which those of us on the right, and I will just say it, people that tend to have a connection to the religious and the spiritual, I think perhaps are more accepting of this end state that we are all going to at least when it comes to how it

affects their perception of public policy. You know, a lot a lot of left wing socialist atheist types like, oh my gosh, the state, we'll protect us. Nope, no, we're actually all going to die. But we're not all going to die from COVID nineteen. In fact, a very small percentage of us will. And it is a manageable public health problem now, the same way that other diseases out there that have killed in the aggregate far more people.

You know, if we only end up having one season of COVID nineteen, let's remember, then our yearly toll for the last ten years or for the next ten years from flu will will dwarf, the will far exceed the number of people that have died from this, assuming that it's a one year count. But we'll have to see,

we'll have to see. But this is now going to be a debate that stretches into not just the fall, but how many how many times our public health authorities going to make these kinds of proclamations, even when they've

been wrong, wrong, and wrong again. I see that Texas, for example, I mentioned Texas before they had on I believe it was Memorial Day, the governor tweeted out they've had the fewest fatality since the end of March, the fewest COVID hospitalization since the middle of April, and the second most recoveries from COVID in America, and yet in other places in Blue States, people are still even more scared now than they were a few weeks ago. Numbers

are going down, cases are going down. It's clear from serology testing that you have probably thirty million people in this country have been infected with this. That's the best that's the best estimate they have now, but it's based on real data. So you know, close to ten percent of the US population has either been in or head antibodies to this, and it could be more. But that doesn't somehow affect the Democrat perception that this is in

fact much less horrific. It's still terrible. We've lost so many people. I saw the New York Times front page a few days ago over one hundred thousand dead from this. And I know that there's some back and forth on the count, but whether it's eighty thousand or one hundred and twenty thousand, it's far too many people who have died from this. It's a horrible tragedy, but we do suffer tragedies as a society. This can whether it's war

or disease. We're lucky we haven't suffered famine. Although keep shutting down the economy indefinitely and keep doing this, and who knows what will happen to the food supply in time. I'm not saying it's going to be a problem right now, but you can't keep doing this shutdown thing. This has been this look. The shutdown was the universal shutdown was

the wrong move. It was the wrong choice, and you're going to have a fight about this that stretches not just through this election, but stretches on for years, for decades to come, because this is not the last time we will be faced with this situation of a rapidly spreading and fatal question of how fatal disease? Right? We thought it was much more fatal in the early stages of this, but somehow we've made it through the gauntlet.

We're trying to take our lives back. The President is calling it a transition to greatness that we are about to have as long as we can all go forward as a country. And there are still people who are holding back and certainly seem to be rooting for failure. I don't know how else one could describe it. And there is a piece in Politico, left wing site, but occasionally some smart writing a piece and Politico called the

general action scenario that Democrats are dreading. And this is putting into writing, This is letting us know what many of us have been saying all along. We used to

be shoutowed down for this, even though it's obvious. And that is the Democrats through a combination of their belief in the overweening, overwhelming state, their desire to use this as an opportunity to push us further closer to socialism, and their sense that the state will protect you, and their unwillingness to accept personal risk, and the fear mentality that grips the left more than the right, not entirely, but more than the right when it comes to matters

like this, and of course what the economy means for the election. All these things are intertwined. But we know that there is a large segment of the political and ideological left that recognizes that if there's a recovery, if there's even the beginning of a real recovery, a return to optimism and a return to normalcy, things are going to be much harder for Joe Biden. So this is

what we've been saying. We've known this right that Democrats have been slow rolling this that behind closed doors, you know, top strategists, this one being a top economist in the Obama administration. They're now coming forward with this not because they want to be honest about it, that's see, this is why this is why you know there's some truth to it, but because they want the Democrat messaging to

reflect this possibility. They're trying to get ahead of this, which is that if we reopen and if the virus is not nearly as bad in the rebound as people have been assuming for the last few months, which looks very It looks like we're going to have a strong summer, my friends. The only thing that will prevent it, it's not the virus. It's the stupidity of our public officials. And I tell you, when the President promised me last week in the Oval office was a real moment. You know,

he went out in Michigan. I don't think he had made this promise to anybody before he told me, and then he went out. Now I could be wrong on that, but I this is the one thing I wanted to use my opportunity. Well, we talked about a few things, but those were off the record, the important stuff. But the one thing that I knew i could say that I wanted to get him on the record was that they'll never do this lockdown, that the federal level will never do this lockdown again. And people say, oh, but

it's not up to him. Well, if states think that they're going to just trample on the constitutional rights and individuals, guess what. The DOJ has a lot of lawyers and endless resources. You know, it's a very different environment for some of these governors if they're going to get dragged into federal court right away. Now, I'm not saying we're always gonna win. All you need is an Obama or a Clinton judge, and sometimes even a Bush or a

Trump's judges are the best. Actually Trump's judges are the best. But you know, a Bush judge even will let you down on this stuff and decide to rule with the leftist mob instead of the rule of law. But it's

a different situation. The federal government is committed to preventing a second shutdown, and the President promised me that, and then he went out in Michigan the next day said it to the national press, and I probably should have made a bigger deal out of it when he told me, But I wanted to tell all of you first, no second shutdown. Here's the problem for Democrats. There's no second shutdown. Well, then what does the economy start to look like in

in August, September, October. It's definitely going to be better than it is right now if we reopened and we don't go back into the shutdown turtle in the shell posture that we've had recently, which I think is not supported by the facts in the day. At this point, it was not the right move we've had. We've had a horrific sacrifice here of our elderly in nursing homes, elderly care facilities, the single most important thing for the government. And to get right here in terms of protecting life

at the state level, they got wrong. This is a state thing, it's not really a federal thing. They got it wrong in New York, in New Jersey, place after place. But remember, the Democrats are first and foremost power obsessed. The left is power obsessed more than any principle, more than any specific outcome. They want to be in charge. They want to be in charge of you. And with that, I now look at how this plays out for them.

And you have this piece in Politico that's saying, if there's the beginning of an economic recovery, we are going to be in really bad shape because it's going to look like Trump can just tell the American people give you more time, guys, we're back in action. That economy you had in twenty nineteen, it's coming back in twenty twenty one. Why do a big shift to Joe Biden when we're in the right direction. Now we all know that this was in external virus. We all know, so

they're going to have to prepare for that. But now this gets us into which path to the Democrats push for to extend the pain of the lockdowns we have. We have breadlines, food lines here in New York City, still thousands of people in them day in and day out, thousands. Democrats don't care. They care so much about the poor, not the people who can't feed themselves because of the moronic continuation of these lockdowns. But oh, they care about

the poor so much. No, what they care about right now is defeating Trump and the economy going poorly for as long as possible. Being suppressed and stifled as long as possible is clearly in the Democrat Party's interests, and they are taking action based upon it. The numbers no longer justify the economic shutdowns we have in these states. You might say, well, buck, what about the governors. Don't

they want don't they want things to come back? No? No No, no no. They're holding their economy's hostage to a federal

ail out. At this point, they feel like they can just blame their federal government and all the shortfalls in their budgets for the few months we've had here, and then a few months ahead, federal government, Uncle Sam's going to write them a check and they get to be heroes and they get to say they saved lives, even in places like New York, which has been a textbookcase of bureaucratic and elected political leaders ineptitude, stupidity, and covering

their butts when things get really bad. That's what's happened here. We need to reopen this country, but we need to do it with an urgency that recognizes not only the pain and suffering that people across this country have because of the shutdown, but also understands the political dynamics, the implications here of what the Democrats, what the left are

really rooting for, and what's in their interest. They have to keep this suppressed as long as they can because they know that even a minimal a minimal v recovery or just the beginnings of what is clear economic strength. I mean here, they're saying that there's the possibility that quote, we are about to see the best economic data we've seen in the history of the country in the third quarter of this year. This is a former Obama administration

economist now professor at Harvard. He's saying, watch out, guys, the Trump economy may come back, which we all know would be fabulous for this country, including the idiot libs who hate Trump, amazing for this country, and they don't want that to happen. They'd rather be in power than have all of us prosper. You're in the Freedom Hunt. This is the Buck Sex and Show podcast. There's only one set of numbers, right. This is not pick your

numbers here. We have statewide criteria. They are the same all across the state, and we know where we are on each of those criterion on any given day, and they're posted on the website. So we all there's one set of numbers. We all know the numbers. The question is at what point do the numbers drop to the reopening threshold. Now people can speculate, people can guess. I think next week, I think two weeks, I think a month. I'm out of that business because we all failed at

that business. Right, all the early national experts, here's my projection model, here's my projection model. They were all wrong. They're all wrong, indeed. But notice what happens here. Projections were universally, it seems, shouted at all of us as the justification for locking us down. But now when it comes to projections to get as unlocked we let's not make any projections here. Let's not use the numbers. Let's not commit to two weeks from now. Let's see where

we are. Let's see where we are. That wasn't what we were told at the beginning of this. Now you could say, buckle, don't we want to learn from our mistakes? No, I think it's more than that. I don't think they want to learn from their mistakes, particularly in this regard.

They were happy to use the fearmongering models to get what they wanted, which was this lockdown across the country, because it keeps the public officials from having to bear the responsibility in their minds, Oh, it's been taken out of my hands. We'll just do this. But now that it comes to reopening, drag their feet can't look at the projections. Drag their feet can't look at the projections. Quite a coincidence. Thanks for listening to The Bus Sesson

Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. Why you wouldn't use it it there's no legitimate rational explanation. Well, I don't like the way it looks. You know what, paint something on the mask, right, get a new color. You know, you can get a designer mask. It's such a the opposition, it's so trivial and nonsensical relative to the risk you

could get sick. You could make somebody else sick. Even if you think you're a superman or superwoman, you could bring the virus home and get someone sick and it winds up killing them. So it's just it's not smart. It's not smart. My colleague Melissa the Rosa I said yesterday it was stupid. That's another way of saying not smart, sort of the hyper New York way of saying that takes less words, not smart, stupid. Well, look, let me explain, Hey, wear a mask. If you're not wearing a mask, you're

being dumb. But we don't want to say dumb, so we'll call it less than smart. Why would you not wear a mask? Let me explain, if you don't wear a mask, you may be a mask murderer because you're not wearing a mask. Oh my gosh, you guys. Are all those of you who are not in New York, which I know as a vast majority of you are, you are so lucky. But you know, I'm not trying to focus this on New York today for any reason other than just we're we're the worst case, the worst holdout.

This shitty is in a coma right now, and you have these morons in charge with stupid metrics. We're now we're now supposed to be all clapping. Yet they've got the tracers in place, the tracing teams. If you're near someone for more than ten minutes who has COVID, they're gonna tell you you have to quarantine for two weeks. Guess what. People are gonna say, No, Then what happens. They're gonna say, I feel fine, I don't think i've got Oh, you mean, the voluntary will become compulsory. That's

that's where we remember. Look at masks. The voluntary will become compulsory. The people making these decisions will say, if you're not willing to listen, you're killing people. So I'm gonna I'm gonna take it out of your hands. I'm gonna make sure that you cannot kill people by not wearing a mask. Healthcare provide us wear masks for ten hours at the time. Why could you wear a mask for an hour? Why could you wear a mask for an hour? Someone tell me this, Well, the reason we

can't do it is because it's dumb. The reason I'm not wearing a mask when I go outside all the time is that I'm not going to live my life with a stupid face covering that is uncomfortable because of the infinitesimal possibility that somebody may come near me, even though I've already had a COVID test last week. Whatever, I mean, you know, at what point is it too silly? Is it too dumb? What about if I was willing to get a COVID test every week for the next

you know, two months, which I would. It's not that hard. I would do it if they were going to pay for it. Do I still have to wear a mask all the time? Oh well, maybe you get infected, even when you're not really supposed to get infected, you'll get in This is this is absurd, but it's political. It's political, and it's it's frustrating beyond words. And I have friends who have had their careers right now shattered by this.

I know people personally very well who no longer you know. Yeah, they're gonna get the they're gonna get the temporary unemployment at hand. But that doesn't I mean in New York City unemployment. This doesn't. This doesn't pay anybody's bills if you live in this, if you live in any high rent the biggest problem most people have his rent to

the mortgage. Right, if you live in any high rent, high mortgage place, I mean unemployment, you're not even you're not even covering your never mind you know, buying a sandwich or like downloading something off the internet, you know internet to watch on TV. You can't do any of this stuff. So what they don't understand is the restructuring of businesses that's happened, that's occurring right now means there's going to be a lot fewer jobs in some of

these industries. And it's not based on anything other than trying to prepare for the possibility of more government action like this. You know, they don't want to you know that. This is why the President promising me no second shutdown last week was so important, because otherwise you're going to have You're gonna have economic pandemonium. I mean, what business could ever come back, could ever run itself effectively with

this hanging over its head? Here, you know, here's doctor Burke's famous for her pronouncements from the Coronavirus Task Force briefings and her colorful scarves, which I believe are generally Ermes. Those scarves are very pricey. But here she is the man up be Airmes. I don't know, that's just the fanciest scarf company I could think of. Here she is telling us about what they're doing to get ready for

the potential wave of this fall play twelve. Also, I want to be very clear to the American people, we are preparing for that potential fall issue both in PPE, which is protective devices, both in ventilators, stockpiles, and ensuring that we're really pushing on therapeutics and vaccine development so we can be ready if the virus does come back in a significant way. This I think is more than anything else that we see right now, more than any

political ad or any specific set of economic numbers. This is really going to determine assuming that we can get to effectively a full reopen. And the good news is that for all the people out there we're like, oh, my gosh, they're not wearing a mask in public and open air. Oh, for all the people that are doing that, there are far more people who are saying, you know what, it's summertime. Respiratory viruses are far less of a problem in summertime. And have that's been the case, oh for

the last one hundred years or so. We all know that. And so when they have a little bit of freedom, they start to operate with even greater freedom. I mean, I have friends, I have friends in some of the most open states Georgia, Texas, Florida who are saying that, you know what, the restaurants, oh, they have a capacity people are just going to restaurants now, and God, God bless them. Okay, this this is not what's the alternative, We're just gonna live in fear. Oh let's let them

set up the stupid rules forever. Oh no, no, this is this is really popularized, this notion, and we'll return to it later on the show because there's this viral video of a woman who, in a sense, is being called at least the ultimate Karen. And I feel bad for a lady's name lady's named Karen right now, because it has become this term that is considered interchangeable with a person who is kind of a busybody, a snoop.

You know, I want to talk to the manager. You know, that's kind of the Karen attitude out there, and it's not you people named Karen. Look, they're a I've known some very nice Karen's and any Karen's listening to this. I'm sorry your name has been appropriated culturally for this purpose, but it is. But then again, I mean, I'm gonna be an uncle in the fall WHOA, which is exciting, but you know it's not going to be as exciting. I'm gonna be Uncle Buck, No way, around it, no

way around it. Those though that that wonderful child will grow up and at some point we'll say, hey, you're a really great uncle. Have you ever heard of this movie? Uncle Buck? And I'm just gonna have to take that one on the chin. Yep. John Candy's like the you know, the loutish, you know, immature failure launch family member anyway. But you know, so we all got we all got our cross to bear with our names. What can I

tell you? So Karen's out there, I'm sorry, but your name has become this cultural touchdown now people are always talking about Karen's but this mentality that everybody, if someone's not wearing a mask, you need to act like they're You need to act like that you've caught them drunk driving. I mean, that's really what it turns and do for people. You need to act like if not for interceding, how are you not wearing a mask? Five people could die, you know, because the car spins out and smashes into

people on the sidewalk or something horrible like that. No, that's not that's not reality. That's not indicative of what the real risks are at all. And I'm also very frustrated that people who are supposed to be experts about this disaster management area are just proving themselves to be

completely absurd and wrong over and over again. Michael Chertoff, some of you may remember, he now runs the Chertoff Group, all these guys that get these big government jobs, then starts some consulting agency where they're really just selling their rolodex if you want another truth. For the most part, that's generally what happens. But here's Chertoff, who is advising DC's Mayor Bowser on the opening of schools. And they remember,

I was just in DC last week. D C is less open than New York City right now, at least from what I could see. I was shocked. Nothing was open there. No school not schools, of course those are locked down, but no stores, restaurants. And I know that city well, so I kind of knew who might be

not in business. Here's Turdoff. They're talking about where we should be with schools in DC and by association or by just the transitive property of policy which I just made up, but that's a thing now that this is the way it should be across the country for schools. Play clip producer Mark play clip one. One of the recommendations that you put forward, whether or not the mayor takes it, is not to fully reopen schools for in person learning until there is a vaccine. How would that work?

What do you mean by that? Well, the idea is at least in stage one to have distance learning, have it been done remotely, but then over the next two stages, which mean that we would have basically reduced the outbreak too isolated outbreaks. During the next period of time, we would slowly begin to bring students in those entering transitional

grades or needing extra instruction would come in. First, we'd make sure to maintain distancing in classrooms, to keep the collection of people in a particular classroom below a certain number like ten, to make sure the same youngsters were together throughout the day so you don't have a lot of people mixing with other groups. And then to have a present on staff people with health background and experience

in case someone displays symptoms or some issue arises. And the idea would be eventually during the course of this time to basically reopen but in a very measured and deliberate way. While why we have to do it in such a measured and deliberate way. Why can't we just reopen schools after Labor Day? Kids are at almost no risk from this. They are at more risk from the flu every year. That's right. For those of you who have children, your child is at greater risk of mortality,

and it's a very small risk. So I'm not trying to pray on anyone's fears here, but your child is at greater risk from the seasonal flu than they are from COVID nineteen. That's a fact. And yet we're not able to open up schools because of COVID nineteen. Now you might say, oh, what about the teachers. I mean, you know, first of all, we should be doing prology testing on teachers to see who may have already been exposed,

and then they won't have to worry. All of the recent studies are showing that there are antibodies to this if you are exposed or if you have a low level infection. The big study out now on healthcare workers. Yes, the ones who had low grade infections, they do have antibodies. So there's going to be some percentage of teachers who are able to go back because there are at no real risk from infection. There's going to be some percentage

of teachers who are young enough. A lot of particularly primary school teachers are young enough that they're you know, if someone told me that my job was to teach what I go back to school in the fall. Absolutely, US producer Mark wants to go back to the studio because he likes the studio. So I sit here and I'm saying, okay, well, you know, at some point we'll go back to the studio. He's not scared, he's not

worried about what's going to happen in the fall. And you know this is this is the mentor people want to go about their lives. They want to engage in their careers and their professions and understand that, within reason, there are risks that they should be willing to take. So I just think this is wrong. Here's what Mike Pence and I understand, Like parents are very understanding, be

very cautious about their kids. It's not the kids where we should be even a little bit worried about with COVID nineteen as an infection issue, as a they can't go to school issue, it's a big problem. But for the adults it should be manageable. And you know, maybe a lot of these administrators and people that are getting paid to be in the school system for reasons that have nothing to do with teaching. Maybe they work remotely,

maybe they stay home. Maybe you know, we ask teachers, maybe teachers get a little additional pay for you need in person instruction for these kids. Okay, you can't have everybody just zooming from home. We're not set up for it. It's not real homeschooling, as we've discussed. It's like triage homeschooling. And here's what Vice President Pence as saying about how

we're going to get kids back to school. Plicklipate to produce useful information about about how we can bring back our schools, how we can bring back summer camps, how we can go back to churches and synagogues and mosques and enjoy in a safe and responsible way our freedoms of religion. So we're working very closely with university presidents around the country over the last several weeks. We'll be welcoming them to the White House soon. And we have

every confidence. So whether it be our universities around the country, or whether it be a primary and secondary education that we're in most areas of the country, we're going to be able to get kids back to school in a safe and responsible way. Yeah, we need to get kids back into school. They're at very little risk from this disease, and anybody who's paying attention to the numbers knows that. And children need to be able to see their peers and to learn and to be out in the world.

It is. It is horrible what we've done to kids. Here. The real risk and we'll return to this, The real risk from this disease all along was to the elderly and to people in nursing homes, and that is the single area where there has been the least amount of preventative measures taken commensurate with the threat. They've they've fallen down on this in ways that are just it's just appalling. And now they're going to try to find all these other people to blame. Reopen this country now, send kids

to school in the fall. I think they should be talking about opening up summer prone. Look, we're writing trillion dollars checks like it's going out of style, you know. I think some school districts that we should consider, and maybe if you need some federal funds for it. I don't know whatever, but let kids. Let kids go to summer camp. And if you're not going to go to summer camp, open up schools and let kids do some

additional learning in person. Give them a place to go that's not locked down in their homes in sweltering apartments in major cities. You're in the freedom hunt. This is

the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Yeah, the governor has discriminated against churches and mosque and against synagogues because we as a church have a First Amendment right, and he has chosen to say Walmart, grocery stores, liquor stores, they can be open the whole entire time, and very directly, they're not doing it nearly as safe as our churches doing it, and so he has decided it according to whatever his guidelines are. That no one really knows for what is

essential or not church is essential. Our people are New Jersey citizens. You're a Jersey girl. You know all about people loving their state, and here it is, as Jersey citizens they're being told their church is not essential. Yeah. I understand a lot of people don't understand why it's so important to us, But as believers, we assemble together. And these people have discouragement and depression and problems, including economic problems. They want to be with their pastors and

they are doing it as best we possibly can. Yeah, this is a critical point here from Pastor Charles Clark the Third in New Jersey. First of all, the hostility that the left wing lockdowners have had to religion from the beginning of this, it's just appalling, right, Oh, you can't do outdoor church. Oh you can't do drive in church. Oh, you know, and taking people's license plate numbers down because

they're gathering for church. I mean, they forget, like, you know, I just I'm more familiar with the early history of Christianity, for example, than any other religion. People are willing to take a lot of risk for their faith. People are willing to do a lot to celebrate the Eucharist. You know, someone coughing on them is not going to stop a lot of people from deciding that they're going to go

and do that. But also at this point, to lock people in their homes, to ruin millions and millions, tens of millions of jobs, and bar them from their religious community, it's just cruel that it's wrong. Thanks for listening to The bus Essen Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. There's

no politics here. I can say that, but was still in an election year and people are still playing politics, and this is a hyperpartisan environment to the extent people want to politicize this issue, and Republicans are saying, well, new York did this. New York followed the president's agencies guidance, so that the politicizes it. What New York did was follow what the Republican administration said to do. That's not my attempt to politicize it. It's my attempt to depoliticize it.

So don't criticize the state for following the president's policy. This is very political, and again this is true in many states across the country. But the disaster of the COVID response when it comes to our nursing homes is not something that anyone can ignore, is not something that anyone can just assume was somehow inevitable. It's horrific. It's

really horrific beyond words. And as we look at the decisions that were made, they can now blame the federal government, which of course they are doing, and that's what Cuomo is doing here. But let's remember that the governors have claimed all along that they don't have to that this is up to them, that they don't have to do what the federal government tells them to about this, that this is under their own police and quarantine powers. So when they want the authority to do what they want,

they claim it. And when they want an escape patch for poor decision making that has had terrible consequences, then they also just make that claim. You may be familiar with the term to decimate. Decimate is to take a tenth of and there is a well, there's a course. To take a tenth of is something that you might think of in the context of tithing, and the word decimatis taking a tenth of Latin medieval Latin. But it

was also a punishment that was instituted in Rome. It was a punishment for mutiny, for cowardice, and what they would do is take one out of ten soldiers, and in front of the other soldiers, one out of ten would be usually bastinadoed, beaten to death. Horrible, but Roman, the Roman legions were a very intense and brutal place, and we have this word decimation that is used much more freely put aside decimatis and the punishment of taking

one out of ten in a unit. In Roman, it wasn't usually the whole legion, but it would have been a smaller military grouping and they would kill one out of ten people. We often use, you know, to decimate just means to destroy or hurt really badly. But the the usual or the traditional meaning is to take a

tenth of and it has been used throughout history. And I bring this up just because this moment in time is one of those is one of those rare instances where the original usage of the term decimate is correct. In New Jersey, the disaster in the nursing homes has been so terrible that they that almost a tenth of the entire nursing home population has died from COVID nineteen it's over nine percent. So just if you round it up a bit, you get to a true decimation of

the nursing home population in New Jersey. These aren't people who are our moms and dads, grandmas and grandpa's brothers, sisters, loved ones. These are people who are veterans. Are people who spend decades working in this country for this country,

you know, paying their taxes, obeying the law. I mean, there are people that they they all along have been engaged in this social compact with America, you know, as as citizens, people who have been doing their part and now in their in their golden years, and they were entrusted into our care collectively speaking, meaning the care of these facilities, but also the state regulators and um and the various officials and people who are involved in making

sure that these facilities are safe and that we're doing everything we can to protect our seniors. Remember the seniors, a lot of them there is they're not able to go flee there, you know, they're they're not able to go to some second home somewhere like a lot of people in some of these blue state enclaves did when when things got badly, they're stuck in this nursing home and they entrusted their their safety and their security to us as a nation. And it is very clear at

this point that we failed them. And I just bring I bring this up for many is one is just we should be aware of this death toll. And as because you're being told to trust the government are being told the government knows what it's doing, and listen to

the experts. How many, really prominent How many times did you hear doctor Fauci stand up in front of America and say, hey, everybody, we got a five alarm fire that's about to break out with this virus in our nursing homes, and you know we should have you know, you know, the two priorities for PPE and for all the things that we've got need to be frontline medical workers and anyone involved at a nursing home facility. That's where we should be focused. Did you ever, I never,

I cannot remember once hearing with any urgency. You know, we hear all this stuff about to put on a mask or else do what we say flatten the curve. Social distancing saves lives. Did you hear anyone say, hey, we have to have and all out effort, especially as this thing was really ramping up and getting towards the peak. We've long since passed the peak. We are through the worst of this virus. And some people just they don't want to look wrong and dumb, so they want to

admit that. But did you hear any of these experts raising the alarm about this. I watched so many hours of press conferences, so many hours of people that all they're supposed to do is give us the best advice on this. What do they have to share? What do they say about nursing homes? If in fact the federal guidance was as stupid as what Cuomo was claiming it was, and then the governors were dumb enough to go along with it instead of objecting to it and doing what

was necessary to save them. They care so much about saving lives, and you know, if it saves one life. Cuomo used to always say, what about the five thousand plus people who died in nursing homes on his watch? Not talking about him as a presidential candidate anymore, are we?

But they if it was as bad as they say it is, Let's remember that it's because of the projections that the so called experts were making the IHM models out of Washington University from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, supported by funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. That became the principal set of numbers that we were using here. And what did we learn from that principal set of numbers? We're going to have overwhelmed hospitals.

We came nowhere close in ninety nine percent of the country to overwhelmed hospitals, and here in New York, quite honestly, and never really got that close either. Right. We were told that it would, but those models, those projections were so wrong, and if you question them, you were a bad person. Maybe if we had been allowed to question the numbers without being shouted down and told, oh, you know, you're not you're not a scientists, you're not a doctor.

You don't know, really, well, what are the assumptions built into this model? Are these models as fantastic? Is the say, climate change models, which are laughable in their inaccuracy in the scope of what is an acceptable margin of error? Laughable? No, No, honest person who's not ideologically invested would see them and say anything else. But we couldn't have that conversation. We were told, shut up, peasant, go inside or else. You don't care about people dying. And meanwhile a lot of

people were dying. But they were dying because the models told us the hospitals were going to be overwhelmed, and so in nursing homes the decision was made, Hey, we got to get people out of the hospital and into the nursing home as quickly as possible to free up

hospital beds. So you see the shutdown of debate and discussion around this that occurred, let's say six seven weeks ago, the shutdown of free expression around this issue, the shouts, the squeals and screams from the people in the media. You're not an expert, Really, what did the experts do about this? What should have been done about this? I mean, we should have had no one to bring to seed the virus into nursing homes. Was the single most reckless

thing that you could do. Because here's the number you need to know. And I give a hat tip to my friend O vic Roy for pulling this data together. He says, COVID nineteen nursing home fatalities, the latest data. This was as a Friday. Nursing homes and assisted living facilities now represent forty two percent of all deaths from coronavirus, fifty two percent outside of New York State. And he

has a map, and the map is stunning. In New Hampshire, sixty nine sixty nine percent of deaths in nursing homes in Pennsylvania seventy percent of deaths in nursing homes, seventy percent of overall deaths from the virus in nursing homes in Minnesota eighty one percent, in Washington State sixty one percent, in Oregon fifty nine percent, in Idaho fifty six percent, Kentucky fifty six percent, Virginia sixty two percent, Rhode Island

seventy seven percent, Massachusetts sixty one percent. That's of all faytuities. And remember that's not including people who are seniors who are at higher risk who this is just people in nursing homes. And where was this focus. Oh, the experts, they know so much. Oh, listen to them, wash your hand, social distance, put out a mask. Me doing all that stuff was a waste of time while they were yelling at me and you to do that and shutting down

our businesses and telling us to lock indoors. It was policy pushed by experts at the state and perhaps even at the federal level to take people who had symptoms and still were believed to be positive for COVID nineteen and put them into nursing homes where they were certain to infect their fellow residents and kill a large number of them. Can't blame the seniors, and they're just coming out of the hospital. They're going where they're told they have to go. It was on us, It was on

us to defend them, on us to protect them. And in America we failed on this. We failed. But remember this, the experts, the people that are telling you when you can and can't do this, and the ridiculous guidance sets out there about all this different stuff with the businesses reopening. These people don't know what the heck they're talking about.

They've been wrong on everything and on the single most important vulnerability we had from this virus, and we should have known based on the fatalities and the median fatality from COVID nineteen in Italy, which is that was the big alarm bell for us, was what was going on in northern Italy was over eighty. We knew that. And where did they focus. They focused on emptying the schools of children because oh gosh, you know that, they just they wanted to shut down schools right away as soon

as they could. And they focused on telling younger, healthier, lower risk people, wear a mask or else you're killing people, which was insane and then large numbers of people were dying in nursing homes. Don't let these don't let these lockdown clowns, these maniacs, these imbeciles like Cuomo and Deblasio and knew some and all these people. Now, look, California, we got to be fair to the numbers. California has not been hit badly by this. But they're the statism

and the overwhelming impulse. They have to drag this out even longer, despite the fact that California got pretty lucky here. But these people that are pushing these lockdowns, they didn't do the single most important thing they could have done to keep people alive during this. And they're gonna tell you that, oh, we saved so many we saved so many lives. As with the lockdown, Show me that data, show me that data. It's not there yet. I don't think.

I don't think it's ever going to be there. I think the lockdown, I think the disease had already reached a degree of spread where the lockdowns you will be able to make a case the lockdowns might have infected and killed even more people who are at high risk. You're in the freedom hunt. This is the buck Sexton Show podcast. Well, what am I doing. I'm fighting the deep state. I'm fighting I'm fighting the swamp. And I said I was doing it, and I'm exposing the swamp.

I think if it keeps going the way I'm going, and Ratcliffe is fantastic, if it keeps going the way it's going, I have a chance to break the deep state. It's a vicious group of people. It's very bad for our country. And that's never happened before. You happened to be a victim of the deep state. I hate to tell you, whether you know it or not, but they've treated you horribly over the years, and so have they

treated many other people. They never thought I was going to win, and then I won, and then they tried to get me out. That was the insurance policy. She's going to win, but just in case she doesn't win, we have an insurance policy. And now I beat him in the insurance policy. And now they're being exposed. So the President is right and has been right about the existence of a deep state. Now that's important. I know. Right now it feels a bit like, oh, well, don't

we all know that? But the answer is no, we don't all know that. We don't all know that there has been this revelation because there are people who all along have been saying that there was no such thing, and they've been mocking those of us who have brought this up. And now they say that, well, it's not

really a deep state. They're trying to redefine her, to call it something else, or just avoid all the revelations that we've had, avoid dealing with all the truth that has now come out about what at the DOJ, what happened at the FBI, And it's stunning. It should be stunning to anybody to see how much would effort was put, how much time was put by the most powerful law enforcement officials in the country into a case that, even before we were looking at it and going over it,

in a case that was preposterous. It was just flatly observed. The whole Russia collusion thing. The fact that the FBI and the dj were spending resources in time on this just goes to show you. I mean, are they are they that lacking not just in judgment but in real work to do well? As we know, this was all about destroying Trump, and so I guess they felt like this was real work. This is what they felt they

should do. In fact, I do believe that that Comy and mckaye, they're so sanctimonious and self righteous and delusional that they would if given the opportunity they well, no, they really have been. I don't even think this is a This is supposition on my part. They believe that what they did was patriotic, that that undermining the president in the way that they did attacking Really, the soft coup effort against the President of the United States that

they led was because they're such good people. And the journ does the journalism Do the journalism folks out there have any sense of remorse for their role in this whole thing? And Trump has been exposed in the deep state. Remember he promised me in the oval last week, President Trump told me just wait till what's coming. So I'm expecting big things. The journalists feel, oh no, this is what they say play thirteen. This is what they say

about Trump. But Joe, is it really shocking? And he did this is this is a cool, damaged human being who goes out of his way to harm people, and he goes out of his way without seeing these people. He would never utter a single negative response to any of the people that he attacked on Twitter over the weekend, if it were eye to eye contact. He is afraid of that. He is afraid of the repudiation, but he's

afraid of the physicality of it. He's afraid of looking at someone in the eye and saying what he says on Twitter to them. He would never ever do that. I mean, this is just absurd. This president stood on stage against Hillary Clinton and was exactly who he always is, mocked her and all the journal supporting her to their faces. I mean what, but until they apologize for Russia Gate, none of these journalists have any credibility, any ethics, any honesty.

We got our friend Sean Parnell in the house. He is, of course, a former Army ranger, author of Outlaw Platoon, and perhaps best known these days thanks to President Trump's begging doorsment for him on Twitter as a congressional candidate in a wonderful district of the great state of Pennsylvania. Mister Sean Parnell. So good to have you all, my friend, how are you. It's great to be here, Buck, It's

great to be here. Thanks for having me, and tell me to tell me just a bit right now about how you guys are doing in your part of you know. And one thing I like from the guests we have from all around the country. And you know, we have some fantastic affiliates that that listen to this show in Pennsylvania. So I just want people to hear how things are because you know, everyone's kind of bubbled into wherever they are in the country right now. How are things in

your your neck of the woods in Pennsylvania these days? Um, you know, tell us what's going on? Yeah, well, I mean Pennsylvanians are are resilient and Pennsylvanians are strong, but that that doesn't mean that people aren't struggling right now. You know, in the state of Pennsylvania, we have two point two million people unemployed. We've got the most unemployment claims any other state in the country. Over thirty percent

of our work course is unemployed. We've got food lines in my district every single week, thousands of people and food lines. I never thought i'd see that before ever in America. I led alone in my hometown. So this

pandemic has been rough on everybody. And I feel like that's why, you know, I, along with Republicans and Democrats right in Pennsylvania, are putting all sorts of pressure on the governor to allow us to reopen safety because, I mean, people's lives and livelihoods are on the line here, buck, and I mean we can't I mean, the governor just

said last week that we can't read. You know, he can't see us reopening until we have a full up, full proof vaccine, and that to me is just it's just crazy and flies in the face of all the scientific data that's coming out about this virus. We don't have a choice. We have to reopen. We got to

do it safely. People's lives and livelihoods are on the line here and are used to supposed to be then at the state level in a in the zone by zone or is it mostly top down just from from the capitol in Pennsylvania for you guys, you know, how how is this supposed to work? I mean, the comment that we have to wait till a vaccine is insane. But he's not the only one who said it, I know,

I know. Well, so the governor on his plan is sort of a phased reopening right red being full lockdown yellow somewhere in the middle green reopening with you know, following city guidelines right now. You know, in and around the Philadelphia area is red. Most of the other areas of the state, other counties in the state are are yellow. But my issue with this color coded plan is that

there's really no functional difference between red and yellow. Um, you know, salons, restaurants, uh, you know those those are all still closed, you know, So it's really the restaurant hairstyle of saland owners, uh you know, nail place, is that most of these businesses are really the truth is

at risk of closing forever. And you know, if you look at the science right and what some of the UPMC University of Pittsburgh Medical Center doctors, some of the most world renowned epidemiologists are in and around the Pittsburgh area, they've all said straight up that, you know, the surge that we expected in the wake of COVID nineteen didn't happen.

And most of these doctors now who again specialized and infectious disease are saying we've got to start reopening because that casualty is from an economic fallout will be far greater than the casualties and this virus could ever inflict on us. And in my worry is that we really truly are doing a generation or two's worth of economic harm to the state of Pennsylvania. You know, these people.

The whole point of a lockdown, as you know, is supposed to be short lived, right to make sure to buy our healthcare systems sometime give it a level of resiliency prep or maybe overflow of the virus. But the fact is a lockdown was never meant to happen in perpetuity. And I think again, I can't stress this enough. Democrats and Republicans vote in the state of Pennsylvania are starting

to push back against against this. The Governor Wolf is facing bipartisan resistance on lockdown in perpetuity and so worth fighting every day just to make sure that people in western Pennsylvania has a voice. At the end of the day, running for Congress isn't about political party. It's about representative people, right,

and that's what we're trying to do. We're speaking of Sean Parnell, Buddy amine, but also importantly decorated combat veteran New York Times bestselling author and candy for the seventeenth the mighty seventeenth congressionand District of Pennsylvania. And we're certainly hoping that that's going to be something we can celebrate

with him after the election occurs in November. So Sean the President stepped in to his sixty plus million Twitter followers and said, Sean Parnell, the men vote for Sean Parnell. What And I know that that now has gotten you even higher up. I'm sure on your candidate, you're rather the opposing candidate Connor Lamb's radar boo. So tell us about some of the aftermath of this and what it's been like to get not just that that that shout out from the President, but how the left is maneuvering

against you. Now they must realize you're gonna be a force to be reckoned with. I mean, I already knew that obviously, but now they learn it. Buck. I gotta tell you, you know, I've known you for a long time. You know how I feel about this country, right, and I respect the office of the president, whether a Democrat sits in that office or Republican and to have the endorsement of the President or the president focused on you in any way, and the President Trump's case recognizing you know,

my service and Michael Tuon service in Afghanistan. It's an unbelievable honor to have that endorsement from the commander in chief, you know Buck. Ten years ago I was I carried a rifle in Afghanistan. My platoon got shot up pretty badly. We took an eighty five percent casualty rate. I was wounded myself and was medically retired. Before my time, I intended to come into the military, lead an infantry platoon, joined the Special Forces, and try out for Delta. That

was what I wanted. That was that was my dream, and it was all cut short because I got blown up in Afghanistan. I was medically retired from the military in two thousand and ten. Hey on behalf of a greatful nation seal later with next to nothing, and again a decade after that, I'm getting shout outs from the President of the United States. If that doesn't tell you how amazing this country is and that that we really truly are the land of opportunity and with hard work

and perseverance. You can accomplish anything that you want. I mean, it's just my gun. It's just so cool, you know. All that said, Uh, I spent most of the Memorial Day upending off the far left and the radical left who did nothing but attack me. And do you know whether they're calling me a baby killer or a Trump boot liquor all because I said it's an honor to receive the President's endorsement. You know, Um, that's been tough. But I've I've always known that that politics, Hey, it's

a contact sport. I've always said that politics's war, just without the bullets. And you know, I've taken real life black in Afghanistan and I can take this too. So Sean, what do you have to do to win against against Connor Lamb? I mean, who who? There's just I think it's interesting for folks to hear because, as you said, we've known each other now almost almost a decade. Uh And and just going going back here a bit, I'm wondering,

you know where we're folk. We're going to be following your your election very closely because you're a friend of the show. What has to happen for you to be in a position to be the next Congressman from Pennsylvania seventeenth. Like, who do you have to win? Who do you have to reach out to? Yeah, it's a great question. Let me first answer it by giving some context on this district. So, Pennsylvania seventeen is the biggest swing district in the country.

It's in western Pennsylvania. It's a district that President Trump won in two thousand and sixteen. It's a district that Pat two me also won. My Republican senator here in the state of Pennsylvania also won. So two very different Republicans have both been victorious in this district, and now we have a Democrat in this seat. So what it boils down to is this that President Trump wins Pennsylvania

seventeen like he did in two thousand and sixteen. President Trump will win the state of Pennsylvania, and that is the fastest, most expeditious way to get him back into the White House. Right, if wins PA seventeen, he wins Pennsylvania.

President Trump's back in the White House. If I win PA seventeen, the likelihood of Republican taking back the House of Representatives is extraordinarily high, and so so many I've had the vice president a month after I've gotten this in this race, come to PA seventeen and tell me twenty twenty, the battleground for twenty twenty will be waged for the war for twenty twenty will be waged here

in PA seventeen. Ted Cruz also came and spoke at the Allianting County dinner and said the exact same thing. So in order for me to win this district, my strategy is just to tell the truth. You know, Connor Lamb is the kind of guy my opponent is the kind of politician that says one thing in district that he thinks everybody will want to hear, that he thinks will earn or whatever he says get some votes. He says one thing in district and does something very very

different from Washington. You know, his thing is I'm a moderate independent person. Oh you know, I'm going to support the president. But the reality is he voted doing piece the president on both accounts. His first ad was carrying an AAR fifteen and said, I love the Second Amendment. I'm a Marine, I'm always going to protect your Second Amendment. Right. Well, guess what Buck is f rating from the NRA. This is a guy that traveled all around the district and

said that he was pro life. In fact, I still talk to Democrats and Republicans to say, what you know, Connor Lamb's pro life. No, he voted against the Burn Alive Act twice, right, which is the most radical piece of pro pro choice legislation ever. I don't even think that's a debate between pro life and pro choice. That's

a pro murder vote. You know. This is a guy that said he was going to oppose Nancy Pelosi, and while Pelosi did give him permission to not vote for her as speaker, since that vote, he's voted with her over ninety percent at the time, but at lockstep with her ever since. So in order for me to be a victorious I'm just trying to show the people that he said one thing to you to your face to win and does another thing. In Washington. He represents the

most radical elements of his party. He even votes with people like Ilhan Omar over ninety percent at the time. You can't say that you're moderate and have a voting record like that. So in order for me to win, I've got to get that message out. And so that means, you know, a lot of people don't understand Buck. It's

like fundraising. You know, you you've always heard the cliche, you know, campaigns and when the money runs out, Well that's that's because the lifeblood of campaign is money raised and contributed from the great citizens of this country and in the state of Pennsylvania. And right now we are solely focused on fundraising in Q two. And look, man, we are we are. We are about to seize the initiative on the political battlefield of our speaking of battlefield terms,

so we're really optimistic about it. Sean Parnell, everybody, if you haven't already, go check out Sean. What's your congressional website. It's Sean for Congress dot CEO. That's nota dot com, it's dot ceo. Al right, go go check out Sean for Congress Dutch CEO. And also all of our folks in Harrisburg, WHP. You know, I know you're not right near his district there, but you guys are in Pennsylvania.

So tell your your friends, your neighbors, your cousins out there in Sean's territory out in Pittsburgh, tell them they got a rally for Sean Parnell and hey man, I don't know if I buy you a stake or you buy me a stake if you win, but either way we're gonna be celebrating. So let's hope, let's hope you pull it over the finish line. I know you will. Thanks so much for joining us. Yeah you got a buck. Thank you. Take care you're in the Freedom Hunt. This

is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Got a special treat for all of you. Another fantastic Joe Biden Ism. I mean, the Biden is ms keep piling up, as we know, as we knew they would. This is a guy who you know, he just just sort of likes to yale nonsense. But he's been getting away with you yelling nonsense for so many decades that people are just like, Okay, that's how Joe is. And isn't it so great? No, it's not so great. But we got a good one, a

good one here from Joe. He is vowing to you that in a contest in Amano Amano between Biden and Joe Biden, Joe Biden's gonna win. Play clip two. I'm try to say that I have a record. I'm over forty years and that I'm going to beat Joe Biden. I'm gonna beat Joe Biden. Yeah he is. Hey, look Biden versus Biden. Biden can't lose. The guy's brilliant. When you think about the strategy, brilliant strategy from Joe Biden, and this is the same guy who wants stared down.

Cornpop made it clear that Cornpop wasn't going to interfere with the sun getting on Biden's leg and tearing the hair blonde on his legs because you know, yeah, man Biden, it's now he does things, and now he's just say, hey, the kids want to touch the hair on my legs. It sounds creepy, but it's not because I'm Joe Biden. It's weird. He also had this. He had this. He had dark sunglasses on over the weekend and of course wearing his face mask because now we know this has

all become very political. Dark glasses on and then all black, and I understand he was I think it was, you know, at a Memorial Day situations. Perhaps he's wearing black for the color of mourning. But I'm just the optics of it. This photo going around to Biden where he's got these dark glasses and this totally black face mask covering on. I mean it looks like he used to be chasing Froto around Middle Earth on horseback in his maniacal search for the one ring to rule them all. You know,

it's not a not a good look. Was not a good look for for Biden. But that's not that's not surprising at all. Um and and Trump, I think, is you look, Trump's gonna have a field day with the whole Biden situation. Is it really gonna matter all? How much? Know? It's gonna entertain those of us who already think that Biden's a buffoon, and the notion that he would do such a better job than Trump is rooted in nothing

other than the the wishes of the left. But I would say that it's gonna it's gonna be fun for us, those of us who already know this about Biden. What Trump has a say about Here's Trump talking about Biden play clip twenty. What do you think is Joe Biden's strongest feature as a competitor in politics? Well? I would have said experience, but he doesn't really have experienced because I don't think he remembers what he did yesterday. So how is that experience? He's been there a long time.

He was never known as a smart person. Okay, what is his weakest point? I can't tell you. I mean, I'm really serious, He's got many. I could talk about weak points all day long. I never like this. Oh you'd say something nice about your opponent. I don't. I don't know, I don't. I don't feel like this is something that journalists need to do. But people do it.

But he's his point about how Biden's experience seems less relevant considering it's not clear that Biden would even be able to draw upon his experience because he can't remember stuff. I can't remember what he did yesterday that I think is gonna that might land even beyond Trump voters. That might land with people that are thinking, we're really going

to put this guy in charge. This is why the I think the savvy Democrats recognize that they may need a messaging strategy beyond look at how bad the economy is, look at how many people died from COVID. It's all Trump's fault. They need They may need something more than that, because if COVID receides and the economy is on the upswing.

Why would people that are seeing that have experienced three great years with Trump and are already seeing the change back to those great years, those who you know vote on real economic issues, for example, why would they want to trust this this Biden buffoon? Oh because the media says, so that's not going to be good enough. Thanks for listening to the bus show past.

Are we becoming a nation of schoolmarms, hall monitors, busybodies, people that are always saying they want to speak to the manager. I think the answer, unfortunately, is yes. And we have some incidents that would certainly go in the in the evidence pile for that thesis. But to walk us through some of this and to talk to us what he sees going on. Here is my friend Chadwick Moore, who joins us now. He's going to talk to us about the biggest single viral video of the weekend. He

is a writer for Spectator USA. Chadwick, good sir, good to have you, hey, mister Sexton. How you doing. I'm good, Chadwick, So tell me this, my friend. Well, actually, let's first story I want people to hear no, no, you, you tell us the background story to the incident in Central Park here in Manhattan, not far at all from where I am right now, and then and then I'll play the audio so everybody can hear it. But what happened?

What's with this viral video that everyone's calling kind of the the ultimate Karen and in fact saying much uglier stuff than that too, But what happened? It is the alternate Karen. It's not just one Karen. It's a story of a collision, a collision of Karen's and it just gets even deeper and uglier. So what happened is there is this woman apparently with her dog off the leash in Central Park in an area called the Rambles, which is sort of a kind of bucolic wooded area of

Central Park. And man comes up who says he's a birdwatcher and tells her to put her dog on a leash, and some sort of confrontation ensues, and then he pulls

out his camera and starts recording her reaction. So this man also then put on Facebook he sort of described what happened before he took his camera out, in which they got into a fight over the dog not being into on a leash, and then he said something like, well, I'm just gonna have to do take things into my own hands, and called the dog over to him and reached into his pocket for dog treats, which he said that he carries around with him for just this reason.

And then she is gets on the phone to call the police, and she's really unhinged and shaking, and she grabs her dog, who's now on the leash, and the dog looks like it's choking, and then she says, I'm gonna tell the police that an African American man just threatened me, which she says twice. She made it racial for some reason, which is the main which is the main reason why this has now gone viral. And she

has now since been UM. I don't know if she's fired yet, but she was put on leave from her job. She worked in finance, I believe, and she had and she had to voluntarily give up her dog to the home, to the to the shelter where she rescued it from uh and UM. And then, of course, well all that happened because a bunch of Karen's on Twitter found out her identity. They mobbed her employer and then they had

to respond. So it's really just a this sort of shaming, this public shaming, this cancel culture, this this pull out your cell phone and start recording a stranger every time you you get to get into a bad interaction with them and hope that it ruins their life. Is uh, we've been this in this um in this state as a country for many many years now. Um. You know there was a woman named Justine Sako. Do you recall that case? Was I do? That was on the plane? Right?

That was that was a tweet that ruined her life. Right, that was the woman who was flying to South Africa and had a layover in London and said on Twitter going to South Africa, I hope I don't get AIDS, just kidding, I'm white. And then she waits, she lands eight hours later or whatever, and she's the number one trending topic in the world, and you know, her excuse was she's making a joke about like her white privilege and blah blah blah. But of course, you know this

mob had had jumped on her. Um. That was really kind of the first big case of this culture. And it hasn't disappeared. Yeah, so so let's let's play for the audience the audio and those who're watching on Pluto TV can see the video of this incident in the park. Woman had her dog off. This is what we're told. At least woman had her dog off the league in advance of the video being made. So she she freaks out.

I'm sorry that I called that. She freaks out, and she says, hey, you know I you know, she calls the police. She mentions, you know, an African American man is threatening me twice. Now, I'm gonna say this clearly, Chadwick, bizarre, weirdly racist thing for her to say under the circumstances unacceptable,

fair enough. I also would say, as somebody who has been entrusted with my family dog for two months, that if a stranger of any kind, any background, doesn't matter, a stranger called my dog over in any kind of a threatening fashion and was reaching into his pocket to feed it without my permission or consent, I would have things would actually escalate and get very ugly, very quickly. I don't know who this person. I don't know what

they're feed. Maybe they're feeding my dog rat poison, right, I don't know, especially when you've had a tense encounter to your point about how you know that's a weird that's a weird move. Not does not justify her weird moves after it. But I feel like that hasn't gotten any as as somebody who's got a dog and as a dog, as someone who loves dogs. I don't think you call over someone else's dog and say, just wait till you see what I'm gonna do to it. That's

very weird. Yeah, it was really strange, really really threatening, and you're right that the back she brought race into it was just bizarre. But she, I mean, what did she expect it? If she says African American, then a swat team's gonna parachute in, you know that that's this

is This is where where it gets ugly. Where it gets ugly on her part as it seems like she's saying, oh, I'm being threatened by an African American man, you know, as if the NYPD then it's gonna you know, deploy you know, smoke grenades and the swat team right away. I mean, it's it was ugly. That's ugly. What that was the part of it where she or the public. But I gotta say the part before that, I like, it's not like this guy was mining his own business

and being normal. Like what he did was weird too. But then to your point also about the cancel culture part of this, this woman is now I mean, at least across the United States famous. I mean, she will be known on the internet probably forever for this one incident and not a good plight is ruined and she Yeah, the weirdly racist stuff is so uncomfortable an awful way. I mean. And also I mean, I'm gonna go out

on a limb here. I don't know for sure, but I'm gonna imagine that maybe she cried an election night when Hillary lost. You know, I'm gonna like think that maybe she's not like a big Republican yep. You know, it's like I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm just gonna guess that, you know, Manhattan woman, career woman out with their dog, you know. Um, So it's it's really strange. But the bigger pictures, I'm she's who knows what she meant by that?

If she was maybe I don't know, but it's almost I think the bigger story is still this cancel culture and this this is shame. There there are no good people in this story, you know. And it's like, but one person's life has been ruined, I imagine another one is getting all sorts of sympathy because of the racist attack from a white woman and uh it's um it's

just such an ugly culture. And just when you think that it might kind of be going way, something like this happens and we're reminded that this is so very much where we live. You know. Um, I imagine that that journalism professors across the country or telling their students, you know, that that that that they should be recording everything. Always have your phone out, always be trying to catch

someone doing something. You know, you've got this device in your pocket, that it's very powerful, and indeed it is very powerful. I mean, this woman's life is now destroyed all because of this encounter, which which we didn't even see the entire uh interaction and um yeah, the man saying that he carries dog treats around just for this specific kind of like what did he plan to do? I don't I don't understand. And so you're in the park just to um what catch people who don't have

their dogs on leashes. It's just someone walks around people looking for people that have their dog off the leash so they can call them away from you with a dog treat. Um that that would on that's a weirdo move and that would unnerve me. That's that's a strange you know. Yeah, this way, I feel like if your kid ran too far ahead of you in the park and someone was standing there with an ice cream sandwich saying, oh, like, it looks like I'm in charge of the kid now,

everybody would understandably completely freak out. I know this is a dog, not a human being we're talking about, but it's kind of a It's still a weird move, right Like you wouldn't give someone's kid something because they got too far ahead of them of the mom or the dad. You wouldn't give them like a treat without asking the parent. You don't. You don't feed someone's dog and bring them

away from the owner. That's not cool at all. So I I mean, I'm just saying, but again, yeah, you know, the moment, the moment you started acting like a racist weirdo as a woman did now and now you're now you know your life is basically in a very tough, very tough spot. But I want to get to the other and this got less attention. But I thought, in some ways, you know, there's a whole there's a whole other layer of speaking of Chadwick more. He is a

commiss respect the or USA. He lives in Brooklyn. He's like me, he's here in New York. But Chadwick. This this Canadian broadcast television on the news, they're doing some interviews about mask wearing. And here's what ended up happening. A young guy goes up to a woman who's being interviewed and you know, gives her up, gives her a big kiss on Canadian broadcast TV as they're talking about mask wearing and COVID. Here's here's how that went place. Sixteen.

I feel as if mass are not one hundred percent important. Um. I feel as if a spontaneous kiss from someone that she doesn't know. Oh my god, no, I met him for a second with my dog. That's insane. All right, Yeah, he's having milk just minutes earlier. Okay, I mean that that's all he really so so Chadwick. I love this because any normal person would go, hey, they had talked

a little bit before she's in this interview. This guy, this guy makes a move and in case it's not clear enough, I mean, look, you know, if a woman doesn't want to give you, there's a whole lot of ways that you know, she can she can make that clear m But you know she she's like blushing and goes ooh he's hot. Okay, that is that is not

the response of somebody who feels violated or all. This is terrible and immediately because God Canada that all, oh yeah, we're all like male feminists, like the Prime minister, at least the Libs in Canada. I love my conservative Canadians, but the Libs in Canada have lost their minds with Trudeau. The male feminist, a male feminist with a history of wearing black face. I would note, but you know, here in and we're just like okay with this. For some reason,

we're not okay with it. But they, you know, they move past it so quickly. Uh and here it is, and you know what, they start talking about sexual assault Chadwick right away, right that that's the that's the leap they make because it drives them insane. How incredibly charming and sweet it was, and the girl is so smitten afterwards, and um, I mean, wow, it's And it's also political right now, isn't it, because you know, masks have become

such a political hot button issue. This this whole idea of you know, being afraid of your neighbor and staying away from strangers and everyone's gonna get you say, And here you have a guy coming up and just kissing a relative stranger and it was really sweet and charming. I think that people really needed to see that. I think that's why it's also gone viral. We're so sick of being isolated and being told that our neighbors are

going to kill us with some invisible bug. And yet of course the left has to jump on this idea about consent, and well, you know, maybe this just proved this woman appears to be completely swept off her feet and utterly charmed, and maybe that just proves us an entire puritanical consent culture where you need a six page signed document before you hold someone's hand. Is people are over it, and people like these kind of more traditional, sort of valiant acts, these very a very sort of

romantic spur of the moment act. And you know, that's makes it a nicer place for all. I just I also the ver very serious broadcaster who came up later on can know the doing the whole sort of broadcaster being super intense thing on CTV. Not only I mean not only were there was there immediately, Oh are you okay? Good? Heavens, a guy you think is hot just gave you a kiss and you're like swooning. She was like swooning. I mean she was gonna, oh, you know, yeah, it was

really cute. Obviously, any normal person understands. And also any normal person knows that somebody who's been flirting with someone, you know, and then that person that they think is really attractive comes up and kisses them. This is like not a people dream about this. Guys, there's not a problem. But but CTV then goes you Canadian TV then has to do this. Oh, not only are they worried about the consent aspect of it, they're sorry even for airing

it on TV. Play seventeen follow up on a story that aired last night on CTV News at eleven thirty and a story on social distancing. We included an interview with a woman in a park. During the interview, a stranger came up to the woman and kissed her directly on the lips. Our story then focused on the dangers of kissing a stranger on the lips during a pandemic. It was wrong to air this video. The video demonstrated non constantual behavior and downplay the fact that what occurred

was simply unacceptable and offensive. It does not meet CTV News editorial standards, and we apologize. I mean, Chadwick, this guy is saying it didn't meet our editorial standards. It was unacceptable to air this kiss, clearly airing unacceptable behavior. I mean, they're like, what is wrong with these people? Were none of them ever like in high school or college dating? Have none of them ever like actually enjoyed a moment in life without wondering what the skulls the

Karens on Twitter are going to say? Exactly, Yeah, And you know, Twitter is such an outside Twitter is not real life. This is what, especially if these companies need to realize, is that if you have a mob of Karen's coming after you on Twitter, that's not real life. The vast majority of people who just watched that probably at home on their television. We're probably really delighted by it,

but then you know you've got the most. This is always the case, right, you know, the sort of the very tiny percent of the most unhinged and outraged and and unstable people who are typically tend to be left wing activists grab the microphone and they bully and intimidate, and these companies and in this case a news organization into um, you know, being clutching their pearls and have to issue an apology or you know, maybe people inside

the news organization, some miserable person and human resources or what have you, some miserable, lonely person who wishes that she was that girl, but you know he can't have it, so UM has to to try to ruin everyone else as a joy and delight in that sweet little moment. You know, we wek You know a lot of people could use just a little more levity these days, but not on Canadian TV. There are news editorial state anyway,

Chadwick who are making making the nonsensical make sense. That's what he does for us here in the Freedom Hut. Check out his columns at Spectator USA. Follow him at Chadwick Moore on Twitter. Mister Chadwick, my friend. Always a pleasure always a pleasure. Thanks again, you're in the Freedom Hid. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. What's going to happen in New Jersey if you can't get more federal dollars. Yeah. I haven't taken my cues ever from Rick Scott, so

I won't start now. But I thought Kevin was reasonable. But on this one, I have to say I'm gonna I'm gonna say time out. This is not abstract. We don't need to do a data crunch. We don't do an analysis. We announced a budget on Friday for the next four months and we had to cut or defer over five billion dollars of expenditures. And this includes potentially laying off educators, firefighters, police ems, healthcare workers. This is not abstract. This is real. It's not a Blue state issue.

It's an American issue. It's not a legacy. You guys didn't manage yourselves in the past. Better That has nothing to do with this. This is about keeping those front those varying frontline workers in their jobs, doing the heroic work they're doing at our of need in the biggest healthcare crisis in the history of our country, the biggest economic crisis of the history of our country. The last thing we need to do is to lay any of those folks off and increase the unemployment rate and underserve

our residents. So we need it. And it's not just New Jersey. It's not just blue states. It's American states up and down the country. Government New Jersey, they're saying, you got to have a federal bailout for the states, for all these different states. Okay, well guess what here is the opening. Here is what we need to establish. As I've been telling you that the politics of this need to be taken into account because the left is

playing politics with these shutdowns. They're taking too long, they're not looking at the data and the science as much as they pretend to. If you're going to get federal bailout dollars for your state, I think the federal government should say we expect that, you know, everyone will. And now I don't know if they're willing to do this. I know the CDC still has a little too much of a grip even on this White House. It worries

me sometimes doctor Fauci. Everybody's listening to Fauci. Hey, you know, I think that we got to make sure the mitigation efforts are gonna be clear going forward. All right, you know we've we've heard it. We've heard enough of fauci, I gotta wash my hands. And other than that, we don't really know anything great or wear a mask now

they weren't sure originally. Social distance. That's all we really know. Okay, maybe if you're gonna demand these bailouts from the federal government, federal government should should I'm not saying will step in and say everyone's open by fourth of July weekend, come hell or high water, that's what should happen. Everyone open back to normal. How about that? I think federal government's got a lot of leverage here, folks might as well use it somehow. Thanks for listening to The Bus Sesson

Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple Podcasts, the iHeart Radio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. The show ain't over yet, folks. Keeping it real, it's time for roll call. I want to get to all of Team Bucks thoughts in the roll call, but I also want to ask our friend, the one or only producer, Mark, how his long weekend was, if he enjoyed watching any particular shows. If missus Mark aka Ariel, his wife made him any delicious treats or meals. Mark, what's going on? Man?

How was it? Oh? It was a fine weekend. It was nice to have a little extra time away. Although I missed you dearly of course, Yes, well you really you missed the audience. You don't have to miss me, you know, I made Yeah, when I said you, I didn't mean you. Yeah, you collected you. I get it. Yeah. It was good, you know, relaxing when grocery shopping. Would you guys make? What did we make this weekend? We did taco nine one week one one day. She made

chicken fried rice my wife did that was delicious, delicious. Yeah, that's pretty no, Princess and I made ginger sesame salmon filet's last night, which was really excellent and despite my efforts to try and cut back on the excess calorie. She also made her chocolate chip cookies gluten free, which are the best chocolate chip cookies I've ever had of any gluten status of any kind ever. So that that

was pretty much the highlight of the weekend. Other than that, I don't even think what did I watch this weekend? We're watching a lot of billions these days. I love that show. You ever watch it? I've seen was that the one with the rock No, that's as Yeah. Also good show. Also good show, better than I thought it would be. Yeah. I watched the first season then I just kind of fizzled that on it. Yeah, that happens to me with the shows too. I gotta get back

into the Americans. I kind of paused out of the Americans after two seasons. So that was that was pretty much it, and went for some long walks. It was seventy degrees yesterday, which was really nice outside. But man, everything, you know. One of my brothers went to try to go to Bear Mountain. You know that play across the Hudson State Park. Yes, and uh no, Dice cannot go. No luck lockdown because of too many people. They wouldn't

let cars in because they were so packed. It's not exactly what you think of when you're talking about a trail walk, right, but no, there too many people on the trail. Yeah, they were doing that at beaches too, but I think that happens just even if they weren't doing reduced capacity. That would happen on Memorial Day weekend. Anyway. Maybe it beaches, but I feel like fair Mountain will, I guess anyway. Also, I don't like I don't like to be in places like that when there are too

many people. So anyway, it is what it is. So I'm glad. You're glad you're ready and back in the fight. We got a busy week this week, Producer Mark, So bring your a game. Every week is a busy week, Buck, That's true, all right. Roll call Facebook dot com slash Buck Sexton if you want to be a part of it, or you can email us and brucer Mark will sift through and pick some of the most most insightful, pithy, eloquent, hilarious emails you send in Team Buck at ihard media

dot com. And if you email in with the subject line producer Mark is the sexiest man alive, there's a decent chance that you, in fact, that that email will make its way. I'll probably just laugh at you because that's not true. Well, I'm just saying there's a good good shot it gets in the pile. Brad kicks us off here, Dear Buck. I wrote about a month ago on the status of Alaska during this pandemic, so I

thought i'd write back with an update. As of this coming Friday, the state of Alaska is open for business. The Mayor of Anchorage has decided to take a little more conservative approach, but bars, restaurants, churches, libraries, and museums are allowed to operate at one hundred percent per the Governor's office. As for COVID nineteen status, Alaska just went over the four hundred mark for positive cases and has

held at ten fatality since May sixth. It's not hard to tell that things are getting back to some semblance of normalcy just by viewing the traffic on the highways shields. Ye. Well, Brad, God bless and I'm so glad that I'll Alaska a beautiful state. I mean really one of the most parts of Alaska, some of the most gorgeous places I've ever seen. The natural beauty in Alaska is up there with anything you can find anywhere in the world. But I'm glad

that Alaska's back in action. You can get yourself a good steak or burger, you know, and not have to go through all this nonsense. It's amazing when you think about that the whole state was shut down and only ten fatalities since May sixth. You know, I don't say this to be to be glib, but I'd be willing to bet that more people have died from falling downstairs or falling in the you know, falling in the shower since May sixth than have died from COVID nineteen. In fact,

I think that's probably a pretty safe from accidents. I've got more people have died in the month of May in Alaska from accidents than have died from COVID nineteen. Although maybe we could not include some of the deep sea fishing stuff like from that show, because that stuff looks terrifying. I don't know how people do that. Yeah, you know, you know, the like the crab fisherman guys and all that stuff that they do. I've seen that that looks dangerous, how Yeah, because that's what I mean.

That stuff does look dangerous. That does look looks intense. How much money producer Mark I have to pay you to spend I think they spend like six to eight weeks on some of those some of those ships, let's say eight weeks on a crab boat off the you know, in the Bearing Sea. How much money really? Am I just on the boat or am I know you're on the deck, You're you're you're you're you're hocking crabs over

the side, you're doing the whole thing. Oh, there's got to be at least seven figures in that bo that's right. Seven Except for me, it's a solid seven figures, solid probably we're talking like like MLP NBA player for a season kind of money for me to do that. No, So the guys who do it, I know, they get well paid. They make six figures, some of them, I believe, for that eight week hall, which is obviously really really good money. But they are in every they are in

every petty man. I watched those shows and I'm like, oh gosh, you know, I sit there, I'm like eating my my warm chicken nuggets and and you know, drinking my ginger ale or whatever, and I'm watching these guy in my cupboard, in my snuggie, and I'm watching these guys out there in Alaska, you know, with these big crab pots or whatever, like, oh, looks cold, guys, looks cold. I don't know, it looks like we actually have a snuggie. I mean, I've got a I've got a blanket that

functions like a snuggie. So you have a snuggie. No, no, no, it's it's not technically a snuggie, but it looks like a snugget. I mean, doesn't have armholes. No, no, I have to make the arm hole. So I guess it's just a blanket. But you know what I mean, Yeah, a normal thing, Sheldon Buck, Is it possibly for your Is it possible for your head to get any bigger? Asked to have a personal meeting with the leader of

the free world? All joking aside, congratulations, I'm glad to see the President recognizes one of the bright minds in all of media, a well earned recognition. So when you're getting so, when are you getting your Presidential Medal of Freedom? Quick change of subject. I see all these protests and lawsuits in blue states to open up the account. Where are all the protests and lawsuits in red states to

maintain the lockdown? If they think it's so important. Only places I see that argument is in the media, not from the citizens in these red states. Thanks. Uh, yeah, well, I think that they also would figure that in red states the judiciary is less likely to be activist with, you know, toward left wing ends. So that's what that's what I think you're that's probably a part of the dynamic that you're establishing here that you're you're talking about. Yeah,

I mean blue states, Look, they should be open. This is wrong, very interesting you know today. Maybe I'll get into more of this tomorrow. But there was all this debate over oh Sweden, did Sweden do the right thing? That Sweden do the wrong thing? And people argue about this still. I mean, I think Sweden definitely did the right thing, even though there's been even as of last week, people are saying, oh, but they're per capita deaths. The health chief of Norway has said they could have can

quote control infection without lockdown. This scientific backing for lockdown was not good enough, and Norway we went into lockdown. But the health chief is now saying, yeah, and we didn't have to do that. Someone someone paying her off? Is that a right wing conspiracy in Norway? The Health chief of Norway is now saying, and they had very very very few debts you know per capita from COVID nineteen, but they're saying that, you know, lockdown was not the

way to go. Oh you mean that people now looking at the evidence who are experts, are coming to that conclusion. You'll never how think about what Fauci would have to say,

what he'd have to admit. Yeah, we push for lockdowns which weren't necessary, which through thirty million plus people on out of their jobs, cost the economy trillions of dollars, and also put us all through hell being locked in our homes, not you know, wondering when we're able to see our relatives again, wondering what our future looks like. Are we going to have a future as a country, as an individual? Put us through all that, and now it seems like with very very weak backing and week

maybe generous, he's never gonna no one whatever. Look, I actually don't blame him for this, no one whatever. Who's in that position that say, you know, we we took the mitigation, we had to do in the mitigation, so you know, this is the virus. It's spread, so we wanted to undo the spread. That's what you got, Michael Buck. So cool to hear you got called in by the big man. Feels like a close friend being recognized for

his talents in the midst of tough times. It feels good to hear some of the big wins for the freedom hut shields high. Well, Michael, thank you so much. Yeah, I look, it was. It was really appreciated by me. I was great to get a chance to sit down to the present for that long and really enjoyed talking to him. John, one of my local supermarkets doesn't carry strawberry ice cream, so I need to travel further to get it, or during the pandemic switching another brand. Is

this a conspiracy between in the illuminati? No, John, this is just the free market telling you that strawberry ice cream is the ice cream flavor that does not need to exist. Okay, you know, strawberry ice cream is like the Rhode Island of ice creams. Why isn't Rhode Island just a part of Connecticut or Massachusetts? I ask you. No one has a really good answer for that, do they. You know, maybe a strawberry swirl in chocolate or vanilla

would make sense, but entirely strawberry flavored ice cream. We're civilized people. We don't need such things. So I'm sorry, John, you're on your own with this one. You're in the freedom hunt. This is the Buck Sex and Show podcast. All right, roll call continuing here, we have Dave or rights in. Congrats on the one on one chat with the President obvious he chooses to surround himself with thoughtful,

upstanding people. It's a shame he is unfairly smeared. And more people took the time to listen to voices like yours and your listeners, this would be a much more unified country. As an early listener, I'm always happy to follow your progress and success. It's a reminder that good things happen to good people who work hard. That's what this country needs. Keep up the good work as usual. Thank you so much, Dave. I really do appreciate that.

That's very kind. It's like the nicest thing anyone said all day today, so or I will hear all day so really really a kind of you. And yeah, we Mark and I. It is not an exaggeration to say we bust our butts to do this show every day and have it at the quality that it is, and we're very pleased that it's It's reflected in the growth of the show and the ratings and in so many new big markets in the last year to eighteen months

that have picked us up. You know, we're We've got great stations in San Diego and in Baltimore and in Austin, Texas. And in Denver, Colorado, and out in Portland, Oregon, and in Sacramento, California KSTE. And we've got all these different stations that have either joined on or some of them been with us for a while now. And we're very fortunate. We're very lucky, but we know we got to put

in the work every day. James h Let's see James great first name Buck, the Michigan governor is starting to remind me of the lady who is a teacher in Pink in the Harry Potter movie Harry Potter Movie with the Pink Cats. She is a witch. She said she is going to find the foreign plant in her state for social distancing violation when the president was there for not wearing his face mask the whole time. Shields high

from w g Y. Look at that soon. By the way, if you listen on one of our affiliates, police, always feel free to put in your affiliates. We can give a little shout out to them on the air. W G Y Albany a great station. And James, I would say, I do not know the Harry Potter stuff. So prouser Mark, do you get do you catch this reference? Yes, that would be a professor Umbridge from I believe Harry Potter book number five, The Chamber of Secret. There we go.

He's ready to go with it. Yeah. I still have people who try to convince me that I should read the Harry Potter books, even at this point in life. That's so good you should. Yeah. See, Producer Mark is one of them. Maybe I'll have to do it. Brad Hey Buck, I'm behind enemy lines in California and thinking about moving. They have shut down all state parks, no camping or beaches until late June, and it keeps getting

pushed out. Also, our schools have been out since this all started, and my third grader has had minimal contact with her teacher. As a school fears they will lose funding if they teach outside of the guidelines. Now, with all the new CDC policies, the return in the fall is proposed to have two days a week at school and three days at home remote learning. Huh. My wife and I both work, and I've been out of work

since March twelfth. If our kids don't go to school five days a week, we will be forced to pay for daycare of some sort, and we'll have to do the teacher's job after we get off work. Red States are looking more attractive by the day. Brad. Look, I was taking a peek over the weekend at just just just curious, just checking it out. I was looking at, Uh, what does what does a nice little you know, start

our home go for in Austin, Texas these days? What does a nice little little place with some land in Charleston, South Carolina, or in Savannah, Georgia. What does it look like right now? Well? What kind of costs were talking about here? So I don't think you're alone, my friend. I'm here in New York, a lifelong New Yorker, and I've loved this place, even for all of its challenges

and expense. But I think that this has pushed a lot of people too far in New York and in California, and now I always have to throw in Florida too, because I promised Producer Mark to Florida will be something we consider, you know. I just some of the Florida architecture is not as much my thing. That's that's the problem I have, Producer Mark. I get it. I just I like nice weather and no income tax. I can't

argue with that. I can't argue with that. But you know a lot of red tiled loors in Florida, which is okay, I mean nothing you can change. Fuck, that's that's probably yeah, yeah, that's probably fair. I have to also become like a if I was close enough to the water. I like swimming at the beach, but I might have to become a boat guy too. That doesn't sound like a bad thing, Yeah no, but it would be fun. I always remember when when they went out

the Marco Rubio from you know, for his boat. That was like he was living some lavish lifestyle or whatever, and I was just like, you're in Florida, man, you might as well get a boat of some kind. Even if it's a canoe or a kayak. You gotta get a boat. Bobby Buck, I got a question for you. Did your brothers start the gluten free Bread Company as a result of you having to deal with gluten free products or is it just a coincidence? That would be

good brotherly love. Anyway. I listened to the show daily. I consider myself a team member, Bobby. You most certainly are a part of Team Buck. Tell producer Mark to smile for us. Oh, he smiles. Don't worry he's fine. He's having fees, having fun, don't du non't never worry about producer Mark. He's good. Um. As for my brother, he know he was gluten free before I was, so I thought that gluten free, quite honestly, was kind of a fad, a trend, and then he was a believer

in it for just health purposes. And I'm not gonna lie to you, guys, I kind of made fun of him a little bit sometimes for it. I was like, oh, gluten free, why don't you move to la and get a pet therapist and drink wheat grass shots all day? And then I got diagnosed with Celiac disease maybe about two years later. So coincidence or cosmic fade or something. I don't know, you guys tell me, but yeah, I know he was gluten free first. And the product line

is called Suzies. It's s O o z y and the stuff is I mean, they've got bread now and whole foods of foods. It's amazing. I mean, the donuts, the muffins, really high quality stuff. I love it. I mean I eat it every morning. And again it's my brother's company, so it's delicious and I get to support a family member that's gonna be the show for today.
