Biden Wants To Take Your Guns

media and trying to share thoughts and opinions. I was referring to Governor Christine Nomes transgender bill in South Dakota, and I had all these comments about how why won't you talk about the quote Trump supporter? End quote? They would say, who just engaged in a mass shooting? The white supremacist Trump supporter that engaged in a mass shooting. There was no evidence whatsoever to support that that was what happened. There was none when this was being said

last night, and yet they went with it anyway. They decided that it was too useful in this moment of heightened emotions and sense of crisis to bash political opponents who weren't even talking necessarily about this awful incident. And this is what you see people that leverage the Internet for their own power. That you social media as a weapon, and unfortunately the social media companies themselves are increasingly a

political weapon. They use this to silence those ideas groups, those individuals who they view as outside of the mainstream or somehow opposed to the dominant democrat consensus.

A horrific mass shooting in Boulder, Colorado at a grocery store, and what do they do right away? What do they decide must happen? Politicization? We can't even wait for the basic facts to come out. We can't even know the person's name. And already I can tell you last night, all over the place, there were charges flying about how this must be a white supremacist, it must be a

Trump supporter. Maybe it was somebody from the Capitol Hill riot. The stuff that was being said and shared, including from people who work in media and are supposed to have some ethics supposed to have some standards. Was appalling. And now today we find out more information and we can see that the people who were or jump to conclusions, they don't care. It doesn't matter. It felt good for them in the initial stages to bludgeon their political opponents

for something that has nothing to do with them. It was gratifying for leftists to use this tragedy as an opportunity to push their agenda. And we keep going through this. It stretches back years. It stretches back to the Obama administration, to Sandy Hook, to terrible incidents mass shootings before that, to Columbined and we come to the same Democrat claims that are rooted in emotion and demonizing people who are lawful gun owners who believe in the Second Amendment to

advance a political agenda. Eventually, they don't win. Usually they back off of this issue because people learn that what they're recommending would not have prevented the incident at hand, and in fact, would do very little, if anything, to help anyone when it comes to gun violence. But ultimately, this is about the underlying philosophy of Democrats wanting to

disarm you, all of you everyone. They do not believe that individuals should be able to own weapons in defense of themselves and as a defense against tyranny from the state. They do not believe in it, and everything that they say other than that is just incrementalism to that same end, trying to take guns out of the hands of people who are law abiding and who do nothing wrong, not only with those fires, nothing wrong in general. But first let's get to the facts as we know them, the

details of this case. This is the Bolder police Chief Maris Harold earlier today play nineteen forty pm on Monday, regarding the suspect. At approximately to forty pm on Monday March twenty, officers were dispatched to King's Supers on Tablemasa Drive. Officers arrived on the scene within minutes and immediately entered the store and engaged the suspect. There was this exchange of gunfire which such best was shot. No other officers were injured. The suspect was taken into custody at three

twenty eight pm. He was transported to the hospital for treatment. Now in stable condition. This suspect has been identified as a mod ALYSSA twenty one of our Vada. He has been charged with ten counts of murder in the first degree and will be shortly transported the bull to County jail. Ten counts of murder in the first degree. Is this an act of terror? I saw people insisting that it

was before we knew anything about the shooter. I saw Democrats leaping on this as an opportunity to push an agenda that this is somehow tied to Trump everything that is awful. These people are mentally, absolutely committed to the notion that anything that is awful and terrible and bad can be put on Donald Trump. He's the ultimate boogeyman, and they won't let it go. It has nothing to do with Trump, and no intelligent, honest person would say otherwise.

But they were It's all over the internet last night, all of the commentariat, you know, the commentators on the left. That's what they were saying. That's what they were telling people. And we now know that the individual Ahmad, I've seen it said and spelled two different ways, but his first name is Ahmad. There's a good chance that what they're saying is Alyssa may be an alternative spelling, but it's

Ahmad al Issa. We don't know anything about this man about his mental health as I speak to you now, and this is going to be rapidly evolving and changing. We're gonna learn about the social media footprint, We're gonna learn about what his neighbors and friends and all those

things are going to I'm in. But one thing you have to understand is that the people that try to exploit this before they know anything, who sees upon emotion, who call the NRA a terrorist organization that was done yesterday, who say the NRA should be treated like a crime family ordering murders, and the people that say this insane stuff when the facts actually come out, if the facts largely or entirely contradict the initial narrative, They're not sorry,

They're not even embarrassed. That's the point. This is about the exercise of raw power. This is about exploiting emotions. This is about getting people angry at the other so that you can get the angry people to do and believe what you want them to the same way I've told people that you have to have a different a different understanding of hypocrisy. The left does not care about

being hypocritical. They have power. They use it when they can enforce different standards, they will just like all autocrats, just like all dictatorial regimes, they don't shy away from this. They don't view it as a problem. They don't care. They just do it because they can, because they get away with it. The same thing is true about the

immediate exploitation of a mass shooting like this. They view it as an opportunity for a political agenda and also to exercise some of their disdain for the other side, use it as an excuse to scream abuse at people who they disagree with politically on other things that have nothing to do with the actual shooting itself. So they're not sorry about this. They don't view this as a moment where they should be more honest or they should

do some introspection. No, when a MSNBC watching New York Times reading lib screams at you online and says, see another white supremacist Trump supporter shot up a bunch of people in Boulder, Colorado, and there's no evidence to support that, and we don't have any reasonable connection between between these things based on the facts at hand. And then even when they're proven to be untrue, they don't care because

they enjoyed disparaging you. They enjoyed that those moments in time when they felt really righteous, really virtuous for trashing you, for trashing the millions and millions of Americans who own firearms legally across the country and who are a bulwark against tyranny and let me say, a tyranny from the government that we increasingly should take very seriously. Okay, freedom is at the lowest ebb in this country in my lifetime. That's a fact, worse than it was after nine eleven.

Some of the overreaches and some of the you know, the government actions there, at least domestically, I'm talking about internally, the worst place freedom has been in my lifetime. So that's going on forty years, and the Democrats are set on doing everything that can while they can to make sure that you do not have the right to bear arms. They're going as far on this as they possibly can,

as far as they can get away with it. This is why I get so frustrated, because the people that have been that spent four years calling for a need for greater honesty from let's say, Donald Trump, they come into office, the Biden administration, it's just lies all over the place, constantly lying to you, lying about their intentions. Lying about the numbers at the border. Oh, we'll get into that. Lying about a lot of things, things that

matter to you, okay. Not not lying about a crowd eyes or the size of one's hands, or lying of you know, all the things that they were they were completely apoplectic about in the media when Trump was president. Not lying about irrelevancies, not lying about you know, personal peccadillos or whatever. No lying about policy in ways that affect your life. This is central to what the Democrats do.

It's central to their whole approach. And we go through this, and I heard that Senator Ted Cruz talking about it the same thing every time. The n RA is a terrorist organization. You know, they trot out some some victims of other shootings or people who were near victims of other shootings, you know, hog and others, and they try to get somebody deep platform who defends a Second Amendment. They try to scare some Republican members of Congress into

abandoning the Second Amendment. And this is the push pull every time. Doesn't matter that the policies they proposed wouldn't actually make anyone safe or doesn't matter. It's about control and about them getting their way deal with it. That's what they really think here, Senator chat Cruise talking about exactly at this play twenty one and every time there's a shooting, we play this ridiculous theater where this committee gets together and proposes a bunch of laws that would

do nothing to stop these murders. Senator from Connecticut just said the folks on the other side of the aisle

have no solutions. While the Senator from Connecticut knows that is false, and he knows that's false because Senator Grassley and I together introduce legislation Grassley Cruse targeted at violent criminals, targeted at felon's, targeted at fugitives, targeted at those with serious mental disease, to stop them from getting firearms, to put them in prison when they try to illegally buy guns.

What happens in this committee after every mass shooting is Democrats proposed taking away guns from law abiding citizens because that's their political objective. But what they propose not only does it not reduce, it makes it worse. It makes it worse. Here's another point I want to make for all of you. A lot of them know that, and they don't care. This is about control, This is about power.

People are upset, they're scared, they're emotional. Democrats see those things, They recognize those realities, and it's an opportunity for them. You know, in the Congresses you mentioned the House of Representatives last week, for the second time, we've passed two important initial pieces on gun violence prevention. The problem is in the Senate, even with the majority, a slim majority, because of the filibuster, it's going to be very, very

difficult to get anything done. You know, the filibuster to many of us is a tool and instrument for government gridlock. And we need action, and we need it right away. So what are you calling for today, Well, we need to do away with the filibuster. You know that. What's what's what we're seeing happening in America is Republicans in the Senate are more interested in eroding voting laws and increasing gun rights when you know, it really should be

the other way around. We need to look at making sure that we have safe communities and that people aren't afraid and terrified of going to the grocery store or going to a school. And the majority of Americans support common sense gun violence prevention legislation. But we can't get anything done in the Senate because a majority doesn't rule. It's the filibuster that rules. Oh look at that. It's so convenient, isn't it. You know, the Democrats want to

get rid of the filibuster. They want to steamroll the Republicans. They're looking for any opportunity to do this, and sure enough, this mass shooting in Boulder, Colorado is yet another another excuse, another attempt to dramatically change the way the United States Senate operates. Remember they use the filibuster against Republicans on the Trump administration. Then it was fine, then it was important. It was the system, you see, it was our sacred institutions.

What do I keep telling you? This is about the raw exercise of power. Right, when I am weak, I ask for freedom because it is according to your principles. When I am strong, I demand obedience because it is according to my principles. That's how the Democrats do politics all the time. So this notion that there are rules that we can expect them to abide by if they can get away with breaking them, there are principles that

we share with them that they won't abandon it. The first sign of it being inconvenient, You won't you might want to drop that entirely. They just don't have the ability to do some of these things. That's what stops them. They don't have the actual raw power. They know that the backlash would be too much for them. But here we are at Think of all the reasons they've given so far, and I'm talking about members of Congress, those

who are involved in the process. Think of all the different ways that they've said to us, we need to get rid of the filibuster. They've said it's because in favor of HR one, for changing elections dramatically federalizing elections and getting rid of essentially all elections. Safeguards DC statehood. That's another big one. We got to get to DC statehood. They get rid of the filibuster for amnesty. Of course, that's I think the most likely place they'll do it. Ambassy. Now,

let's get rid of the filibuster for gun control. Anything Democrats want to do, you'll notice, is a justification for getting rid of the filibuster if Republicans won't go along. What was one of the favorite lines of Obama for his eight years as president, The Republicans are obstructing which was just a fancy way of saying Republicans won't do

what I say, and that's bad. No, you can disagree, you can try to persuade, but the other political party not just not just conceding, not just deciding that they no longer stand for anything. That's not the expectation that anyone should have in this country. But this is where we are. But understand this too. The emotionally driven Democrat party is going to use the emotions of this moment

where people are very upsets, very saddening. I know, the police officer was killed in the Boulder shooting at the grocery store, and you know he had seven kids. You had nine other people just going to get groceries killed, two in the parking lot, eight inside. It's it's horrible, it's absolutely terrible. And yet instead of seeing this for what it is and waiting to learn whether there even is a law that you could pass. I mean, it's illegal to murder people, it's illegal to go into a

store with a gun, it's illegal. There's a lot of things that I'm sure we're illegal here. But the impulse to pass a law from the authoritarian Democrat mindset isn't really so much to protect us. It's to add to their own power, because they're smart enough to figure out this isn't actually the laws. They talk about a background check system, for example, that's what they say now here. Here's the Colorado AG. Colorado unfortunately has a lot of

very left wing people in high office. Play five. We in Colorado have a background check law, but if people go to surrounding states, they can get a weapon without having a background check. That is a common sense measure that's supported by overwhelming majorities. The fact that we didn't get such a law after prior mass shootings is hard to understand. We need a federal law. I know that our members of Commerce from Colorado have run on this issue,

are committed to this issue. We need a national background check law because otherwise people can go to surrounding states and get a weapon without having to go through a background check. Which makes sense, get a weapon without having to go through a background check. They really want to pass this national background check law universal background checks, which would mean that for any private transfer you would have to go to a federal a federal federally licensed dealer.

Would also mean in some versions of the bill that even if you were to lend a shotgun, let's say, to a friend to go hunt it for the weekend, you got to you got to go to a licensed firearms dealer first to run the background check system. Who thinks this is really going to stop crime? Somebody who wants to be a mass murderer or a mass shooter, First of all, a lot of the time they would pass a background check, which we know has also happens that kind of all, they're willing to either steal or

illegally get a firearm. And it's not hard to do with over three hundred million firearms in circulation already in the United States. Not difficult. So what does this really do? Ninety nine percent of people are just going to be you know who go through this changed bill situation, are just going to be harassed. Doesn't stop anyone who's bad

from doing anything bad. Well, remember that what happened was that President Trump spent four years dismantling the process in presidents or President Trump spent four years dismantling the peaceful, orderly process of allowing people to apply for asylum. For example, he cut funding to the Northern Triangle countries. Here, he cut funding and shut down offices where immigrants could actually apply for asylum and their home countries without coming to

the border. And so, you know, I'm very confident that President Biden is doing everything that he can. But frankly, he's cleaning up a mess that was left here there by President Trump and his systematic and inhumane attacks on the immigration system. Blah blah blah. Just a bunch of nonsense, Just a bunch of nonsense, Senator Duckworth. There are many

many others who were saying the same stuff. This is babel, Okay, we all know what's happening here, but they're just trying they're trying to convince you that the southern border, which is in crisis, which is looking like it's going to have more illegal migrants crossing than what you had in the during the Obama crisis and the Trump crisis combined, the worst the border has been in twenty years, according to people I know who devote their lives to immigration

issues and trying to secure our border. And they're telling you that this is Trump's fault because he dismantled the orderly process. It wasn't an orderly process. Senator Duckworth, trying to debate this. I would love you. You know what, Let's let we'll put it out there. She can come on the show. We can debate this. How orderly the process was. I was down there at the border. I

saw how orderly the asylum process was. It was dozens, if not hundreds of people at a time showing up, waving down border patrol and then gaming the system and staying in the country and not showing up for immigration hearings. And even if they do show up, they probably get to stay anyway. All you have to do is get into the country. That's the whole game. Get out of custody, get into the country, and you're home free. We know it, we've been through it, we've seen it. But they pretend

this system was working well before. That's the part of this that to me is just it's so obviously false. But they don't care. I know, not everyone gets to spend, you know, or should spend. And I don't recommend this. Hours and hours a day reading all this stuff. I have to do that. That's my job. So when I see this, it's amazing to me because in my head I'm thinking, nobody who understands what has been happening at the southern border for the last ten years, never mind

the last three or four years. Would ever say that it was an orderly process that Trump destroyed. That's a laughably stupid statement. I mean, it really screams ignorance of what's going on. But it's actually worse than ignorance, because I think it's it's malicious. It's lies. She's lying to you about this, or rather giving you an assessment of the situation that is so fundamentally flawed that the best you can say for it is she is doing this

on purpose for political reasons. Protecting good old Joe Biden is what this is really all about. We're two months into the presidency, and what do you get. Open borders Joe right away. Open borders Joe. They can do whatever they want, They can say whatever they want about this, to try to confuse things, to try to make you think that that's not what's really going on. Joe Biden is the cause of this crisis. And to say that

this is orderly is just a huge lie. Another part of this that I want to get to, you had majorca speaking of the lies around this. You had Mayorcas, who's the DHS chief, go on TV over the weekend, did the Sunday shows. We played a bunch of the clips for you yesterday from this and MAJORCA said, we're turning families away, and that, to me, that's such a

classically disingenuous lie. And the initial reporting that I had heard or that I had read was that it was about sixty percent that were being led into United States family units now, which is what most of the surge is. It's the surge is family units and unaccompanied miners. There is not a huge surge of single adult males coming to the border. It's family units and unaccompanied miners. That's

what's driving this giant increase in the numbers. Why is that Because they know the system and they're exploiting seems cracks in our system, and they're in some cases, you know, selling custody of their children to the They're selling their children into the hands of the cartels, entrusting the cartels to get into the border. There's this awful, awful statistics. There are awful statistics about the amount of sexual abuse that the children suffer. Because this is a long journey

to go from Honduras to the US Mexico border. They're not hopping on a flight and getting out after a couple of hours. I mean they're traveling overland. So this journey with that the caravans go through, for example, from Honduras, from Guatemala, from El Salvador, this takes weeks. And yet they tell us, may Orcus tells us that families are

being turned away. And I said, the initial figure you'll remember if you listen to go back and check me yesterday, I said, and the Axios figure that that had initially been been used is um was was over sixty percent. I spoke to uh Art Arthur yesterday, the Center for Immigration Studies, and we talked to him. He said, he said he had also read that the figure was this. He's an immigration expert. The figure was over sixty percent

of families. And I kept asking him. I kept saying to him in that interview, well, why is it only sixty Why is it? That doesn't make sense to me. There's there's no way that even though that's a lot, right, that's a pretty good your odds are pretty good. Sixty percent. You get to stay in America forever, and and remember you get expelled, you can just come back. Because this Biden administration is not gonna have a problem. He just try it again, So you know your odds are really

good if you come twice. But I said to you, I don't I don't believe. And I was talking on the first TV yesterday about this with Art Arthur. I said, I and I just have a hard time believing that forty percent of families are getting turned away. Know on what grounds? Well, guess what amember I told you yesterday. Also, I said, they say it's in the sixties, I believe it's more like seventy or eighty. You can, it'd be fun. Go back. If you're listening on radio, you can go

back and listen to the Buck Sexton podcast. It's on the iHeart app. It's in the podcast Apple podcast store. Go back and listen to the first part of the show where I talk about this. Because I said, they say it's over sixty, I bet it's more like eighty. Guess what comes out today Axios story. According to Byron York here, the Biden administration in the last week expelled

thirteen percent of migrant families in the past week. So when Mayorcas goes on TV and says we are expelling families, the reason he leaves out the number, which was a huge tale. It's very obvious what's going on here to anybody who understands these Democrats and how they play the game is eighty seven percent of families are staying in the United States. Let into the US, and they're home free. This is the cause of the crisis. Eighty seven percent

of families in the last week. One hundred percent really of children. I mean maybe it's ninety nine percent, but unaccompanied miners are led in the United States. That's an open border, folks. That's as much an open border as anybody's ever seen anywhere really in the modern world, when we have some border enforcement. I mean, this is crazy. Eighty seven percent of families get to stay, the whole family unit. This adds up. This makes sense. This I believe.

I didn't believe that sixty was high, but not that high. Oh yeah, eighty seven percent. That sounds about right. Your odds are almost nine out of ten. Then if you get to the border, you're a family unit, or you're claiming to be a family unit, you're going to be released the American interior. That's a really good deal for people who want to skip the immigration line and come into a country that as rule of law, you know,

not a lot of corruption. You know, the police aren't going to kidnap you and murder you here without incident. That stuff happens in Central America. That stuff happens in Mexico. Okay, we all know it. We have a better school system, better healthcare system. But the people who are arriving, we're supposed to have an immigration system for the benefit of America, and you are supposed to be able to ask in a you know, other countries have merit based immigration systems.

They give people points, they say, Okay, here's what we think, and it's like an admissions process for a college. Well, is that and is that inherently racist? Is that wrong? Is that bad? Because Canada has one, Australia has one. Now those countries also have asylum and refugee programs. But this is not really going through the asylum refugee program. This is abusing it, and it's dramatically expanding the numbers of what we would expect. But that's really what you

need to know. Majorcas goes on TV and says to you, looks the American people through a camera in the eyes all across the country and says we are expelling families at the border. That's what he said, right, Nine out of ten families they're letting right into the US within seventy two hours. Does anybody think that this crisis is going to go away? Does anybody really think that this

is going to change anytime soon? No. The reason the Democrats are frazzled right now, the reason the Biden administration is on defense is because we're actually seeing what's going on. We are aware of the situation and the circumstances right now because the facilities are overwhelmed, and it's hard to hide that. Their challenge isn't isn't there really about what the long term implications of this kind of migration are. Because they're fun with that. Their problem is Hold on

a second. If people figure this out when we're telling them what to do about immigration down the line, will they believe us when we want amnesty? Will they believe Democrats when they say they'll be increased enforcement at the border. How can you trust anything? DHS Secretary Mayorker says on behalf of the bid administration when he makes the highly misleading claim that they're turning families away at the border. Dot dot dot. Yeah, a few thirteen percent of them

the last week. The rest of the business of being in the Senate basically was just you know, put aside. And I think we need to bring back a real legislative process. If you thought you had to actually stand up and vote on something, you'd actually work to get an amendment to change it, as opposed to saying I don't even have to think about it. I'm just going to show up and I'm going to be part of a filibuster that doesn't inspire cooperation. It just keeps people

in their separate camps. So I think it's going to take a little bit of change in order to get to where people have to work together. And surprisingly, in my own mind, I think, you know, getting rid of the filibuster will actually have that result. See totally normal change.

A process that, when there are Democrats in charge, or rather when there are Republicans in charge, is absolutely sacred to our institutions and is necessary for defending the rights of political the political minority from majoritaryan tyranny and all that stuff. And then oh my gosh, democrats are in charge and all of a sudden, it's whoa, let's let's let's cooperate more. This is like their unity claim Remember what the unity claims were like when Biden came into office.

Unify with us or else better. You better like this unity that we're going to enforce upon you, or we're coming after you. That was the way it was done. That was what they were saying. There was no reaching across the aisle to try to find common ground. It was the ground that you will find is our ground. That's the left. There's no common ground. You want her to be common Come where we are and do what

we tell you. That's reaching across the They're gonna reach across the aisle to pull you to their side and make you obey. And Hillary, how wow, she's back. Hillary's there just to tell you exactly that you know now now it's oh, yeah, we should just get rid of the filibuster so that Democrats here's what they know. Democrats believe and they're there. This is pretty widespread among them that they can get or if they can get to a place where they get rid of the filibuster and

they just run the table on legislation. I mean, they steamroll the Republicans for the next two years roughly that it's it's worth it to them because they can enact structural changes that will offset any backlash from their authoritarian madness. Right. So yeah, people might say, wow, Democrats are really going for broke here, They're really running rough shot. They're using the steamroller approach to the political opposition and even changing the rules of the game as they're playing it, which

is what eliminating the filibuster now is all about. But the Democrat calculation here, I think people need to understand this is, well, if they get HR one, and if they get amnesty, and if they get gun control, and if they get you go down this list, if they get DC statehood, it's worth it. Whatever backlash they're concerned about receiving from the other side is worth it. They should just accept it. They should just handle it because they'll win over the long term. These are structural changes

to our politics. That's what they're trying to accomplish. That they make it so we're in a different political environment in this country going forward, not just for an election, for all elections. That's the whole point. And Rashida to Leave, for example, is out there saying that anyone who opposes DC statehood, which is just stacking two Senate votes, among other things, stacking two Senate votes in the Democrat column.

That's why they want it. She's very upset about this play fifteen In opposing DC statehood, which is overwhelmingly supported by the people of Washington. These representatives and their dark money backers over the Heritage Foundation, that's right, are telling over seven hundred thousand Americans to sit down, shut up, and enjoy this all authoritarian system implemented by a bunch of elites who thought it was okay to enslave people

for their selfish monetary game hundreds of years ago. It is shameful that anyone would claim to support democracy and freedom and oppose statehood, That anyone would support democracy and freedom and oppose statehood here. So when the constitution is an argument that Democrats have in their favor on some issue, which is rare. But when they when they think they can make a constitutional argument, it's our sacred democracy in

our institutions. When, as is the case here, the founding fathers explicitly made clear that DC statehood was not the intent, and this is addressed in the Federalist papers. This is addressed in our founding during our founding by the great minds that were behind our system of government. Then it's oh, they're a bunch of former slave owners and we can't. Well, who cares what they had to say, Let's make DC a state. The principle at work. Whatever democrats want is justified.

There is no principle. Whatever they want to do, that's what they should do. If it enhances their power, if they get their way, justify it. After the factor, we don't even justify it at all. Just do it. Just cram it down the other sides wrote and tell them to deal with it. This is the this is the Biden approach on a whole range of issues and just

getting started. What is the latest and what should we take from this shooting in Boulder, Colorado, The politics around this, and the way that it's already being used by Democrats who see this as an opportunity to push an agenda while also not caring what the fact that many of them jump to conclusions right away on this one and we're incorrect. Our friend Kurt Schlichter is with us now senior columnists at townhall dot com. Army veteran lawyer and

guy who knows some things. Mister Schlichter, Good to have you back, Good to be here. Buckets. Kind of a sad day, but I think it's important that we talk about this stuff. I think it is too because I was trying to shed some light on the Christy Gnome nonsense. And I'll talk to you about that too last night on social media because I thought she had an abominable showing on Tucker Carlson's Carlson. We'll get to that. We'll get to that in a moment. But I say something

about that. I didn't even I hadn't even said anything about the shooting, and Bolt hadn't read about it and know about it. I just was following the stories that I was following, and I have all these people saying, yeah, you know, maybe you should actually spend some time thinking about the white supremacist Trump supporter that just shot a bunch of people in Boulder, Colorado, as if that in any way attached to what I was talking about, which

is transgender sports in South Dakota. But anyway, that's just the way this seems to go. Now we find out the guy's name is Ahmad al Issa, and he frequently posted, according to journalist Andy No, on social media about Islamophobia and depression of him because of his devout Islamic faith. I don't know that this goes in the white supremacist Trump supporter category, Kurt, I think it's safe to say

that we should wait until more facts are in. Well, you know, if this was a good faith argument instead of a blatant power grab and a lie, I would agree with you. But of course it's beyond the point. It's not even close to the point. Truth is just a bourgeois concept, a buck. It doesn't matter. Now. I want to be really clear here. A lot of conservatives are pointing out the hypocrisy and the lies that have been used against them, but this is not We are

not doing the same thing they are doing. We are not blaming all Muslims because this one particular idiot went out and did something horrific for which I hope he hangs. We are pointing out that the narrative that the left attempts to make is a lie. It's an attempt to grab power. It doesn't rely on facts, it relies on blatant dishonesty, and it is immune to reason. So I don't believe in reasoning with them. I believe in mocking them, and that's what we're doing. And you know, I think

normal people we're seeing it. Buck. I think normal people are going, yeah, well, they've lied to me again and again and again, and this is just the latest one. And I'm hoping that this NonStop barage of lies helps

people wake up. And I see the initial Democrat leadership response to this in Congress and you know, the Democrat media, and it's all the it's all the stuff that we always say, Oh, this, this needs to be the grounds for pushing a national, national universal background check, or this this shows that you know, Donald Trump's rhetoric, or either they do all these things and there's no accountability for this now. I mean, no one apologizes, no one cares.

You know, we learned up. Maybe this guy passed a background check. Maybe he actually went in and you know, and and actually sat down and bought a gun legally through the process, but people didn't know that he was a psychopathic, murderous lunatic, and so he managed to buy

a gun. But they're still saying, oh, background checks, right, And if it turns out that I'm right in my prediction, I don't know that this guy probably got this gun legally, they're still gonna say there needs to be a background check system. So you say, well, if the incident is not the reason for this new push, why are you tying the incident to the political push for background checks in the first place. And I think we know the answer, but it's worth pointing out for everybody. Well, look, it's

a fact free environment. Look, we're not going to reason our way to convince these people of anything because they're not trying to be reasonable. They're trying to exercise power. They're trying exercise power by disenfranchising us and disarming us. They at the same time they want to defund the police, which is just amazing. The idea that the solution to terrorist violence is to make ourselves more vulnerable to terrorist

violence by disarming us is insane. If you're being reasonable, if your purpose is to create a nation of serfs, then it is a terrific, terrific idea to proceed this way because they want us vulnerable, they want us scared, they want us unable to defend our liberty and our lives. That's what they want. How do I know, because that's what they tell me on social media. This isn't a fantasy. I'm not drawing conclusions. I'm simply repeating what I hear

directed against me and other people on social media. They like this. They like the idea of us being afraid and cowering. Look at what's happened over the last year. This whole COVID thing would be blocked inside and terrified. This gives them more power, and they like it. I think that. And we're speaking of Kurt Schlichter. He's a

senior columnist at townhall dot com, army veteran lawyer. I think, Kurt that now more than ever, I've been saying this to people, the idea of the Second Amendment as a as a check on government tyranny should be taken very You know, it's something that should ever have not been taken seriously, but it should be more apparent to us why that need exists when you have the government, as we've seen for the last twelve months, telling you that you cannot go to church, that they will they will.

Actually they were in some parts of the country they were threatening to arrest you if you gathered with more than five family members in your own home, that they will arrest you if you try to open your business you know, for the crime of wanting to serve food to people that are looking to buy it from you, that they will take away your freedom, they will destroy your business because a bunch of little lab coat tyrants, because little Fauci, the fascist says. So that should be

a wake up call to everybody. And I mean that. I mean this government. This government locked people away in nursing homes and then filled nursing homes with people with COVID in places like New York and New Jersey and now we're seeing Michigan. And if you had a problem with that, if you were trying to protest against it, they were willing to lock you up in jail. That's the actual government you're dealing with. An armed citizenry is a d to preventing tyranny. However, I mean, it is

a backstop. It's not had to be new. I guess you could arguably say they used once or twice in very very small incidents like Athens, Tennessee. We are so far now. The fact that we are so far away from having to use armed violence to protect our rights is not to say that that could never happen, that that needs to be there as a final backstop. But Buck, We've got a whole bunch of other things. We can still, at least at least outside of big blue cities, elect

representatives who support our interests. We can still appeal to the court sometimes will get a fair hearing. All we can still speak our mind. Sometimes there are still things that we can do and we should be doing. However, none of that, The mere fact that we are not completely oppressed by net right now does not eliminate the

fact that that could happen down the road. I believe that every healthy, law abiding American adult who is willing to bear arms because there's some people are consciousential sly object to it, should be armed and ready to defend themselves, their family, their community, and their constitution if necessary. I lived through the La riots. I saw what happened when order broke down. It's not a hypothetical. I had some I had some live from some website. You talk about these,

these these collapses of society, and they never seem to happen. Well, I spent three weeks in the streets in Los Angeles with an M sixteen. It happens. It's not common. But all I can say is an American who was carrying in that supermarket yesterday might have been able to stop it. Yes, I know an armed police who was shot and killed

and several others were wounded. The carrying weapons is not a one percent guarantee that you will always be victorious over a criminal, terrorist, or other violent scumbag, but it does give you a fighting chance. And I believe every American should do two things. Every American should be able to lawfully use violence in the rare, rare occasions it's necessary to defend life and liberty. And I believe every American should be trained and keep themselves proficient on basic

life saving techniques. That is our job as citizens, you know, buckets like we've given over so much of what it means to be an American citizen to other people. We've outsourced it to a police, or the EMTs, or the teachers or somebody else. But democracy is hard work. Freedom is hard work. As citizens, we have to be able

to stand up and take a personal stand. And that's why I believe that every American should have the right to keep in bear arms and then includes carrying a concealed or open weapon in order to lawfully be able to enforce the law and protect the defenseless. We're speaking of kirschlichteror Townhall dot com senior columnist and a former well he's still a lawyer actually, and an United States Army vetter. And yeah, I guess you're a lawyer for life. Kurt.

Let's let's switch. Let's let's put your lawyer hat on here for a moment. To what happened with Christy Nome last night. I've been critical of her on social media before the Tucker interview. She went on the Tucker Interview to say, you know, to say her her side of things. I will also point out that the comparisons with Governor Ron de Santis of Florida, I think have always been overblown.

Florida is the fourth largest state in I'm sorry, the third largest state actually in the country, and has major cities like Miami and Tampa and others. South Dakota, lovely place, lovely people, has the population less than the population of San Jose, California, and has an actual population density that's right along what you'd expect in an island chain in the South Pacific. Now, I know a lot of South Dakota's love that that's very different. For the purposes of

dealing with COVID than what you have in Florida. Okay, so put that aside for a second. I think people were way too Oh she's so great, she's withstanding the pressure. It's an entirely read state, and you know there's there's eleven people every mile or something, which is totally different.

Would you get in other places? All right? On this transgender bill, which would protect transgender which would protect women from competing against transgender males and sports, she claims that this is because she can't win a lawsuit against the NC double A. That's why she did it. What do you make of that claim? Because she she sent it back for style revisions or whatever it's called. Right, she sent it back down, wouldn't sign it. What do you make of this? I think she I think she has

blown it. I think she has completely screwed this up. I think she's destroyed her chances. Now, you and I were both at Seapack. I don't know if you met her. I met her when she walked through the bar, got my picture with her, tiny little thing. I looked like incredible bulk next to her, But I was unimpressed. I always I don't know, I you know, I was willing to give her a hearing. And I understand it's a

small state. Uh. Maybe she had some good ideas, but she made no connection with the activists who were hanging out there, and she seemed distinctly uncomfortable with people who were you know, ideological. Uh. There's been a lot of hype about her. I think, Uh, she has shown here that she will roll over under pressure. This idea about well, i'd lose a lawsuit, Well, how do you know? How do you know what the lawsuit is? Uh? And and are you telling me it's not worth fighting for that?

We just just oh, well, it's gonna be hard. We should give in. Sorry. I don't need that as a president. I don't need that at all. I think she really messed herself up. Uh. And I think it's going to take a lot for her to come back and fix it. You know, if this bill was terrible, why was she

not working with the Republicans to fix it before? Or what I've said, I mean, this is sometimes you know the answer without even getting that deep into the details here, Kurt, Because there's no way that you just figured out in the last few days that there was this big problem of lawsuits men. I mean it's laughable. Anybody believes that

is being put on. I mean they're being they're being fooled. Well, it's like saying, yeah, I mean competent, but in a different way because I can't work with my own you know, deep bread legislature to get the laws passed that I want. That's that's her argument. That's why it's better. I found her appearance on Tucker overly rehearsed. Uh smarty too. I thought she was smartie, and I don't think Tucker was being unfair to her. Yeah, No, it was totally descending.

I thought Tucker was actually very easy on her. I thought he let her talk and talk and talk. I mean, I don't expect him to be a cross examiner. You know, he brings a guest on. They should say what they want, he should ask tough questions, which he did. I was distinctly unimpressed. And I think she uh, I think she believes we're stupid. I think she thinks that we are stupid and we're going to take another chap. I've got an article on town Hall coming out on her on Thursday,

and it's not going to be pretty. I'm I'm greatly disappointed. But I'm glad too. I'm glad that we found this out now instead of being disappointed after we elected her. Look, people don't understand why we like Donald Trump. It wasn't the TV show. We don't watch that crap. It wasn't because he was a nudeological conservative. He was not. It wasn't because of his mean tweets. Okay, maybe a little about his mean tweets. It was because he stood behind us and did what he said he was going to do.

She said, I'm going to sign this bill, and then she changed her mind. Then she folded under pressure to Nancy as Amazon, Chambert Commerce corporate interests. You know, she wants to be in tight with them. I think you can all see what happened here. I think I look. I hope that people realize. I hope people realize who she really is as a politician. I don't know. It's not personal. I don't care, but this is not This

is not the leader we need. We got to leave it there, Kurt, But check out Kurt's column at townhall dot com. Mister Schleector, thank you so much, sir, thanks for having me. I don't know if you could really hear it that clearly, but I wanted you to hear it. There's Governor Cuomo to a supporter saying, I'm not going anywhere, Darling. By the way, I'm not. I'm not. I think calling someone darling like that is that's fine. I mean, I'm not one of those people that gets upset about that stuff.

My point here is he's not going anywhere, folks. My inclination all along, you know he has with Steward at this point. You see what happens is that is that the allegations there was there was the surge of allegations against him, and really some of the first were the most the most serious, the most credible. And then recently

they've started to get a little more. Oh I heard he did a thing to some other person, or he said something that I didn't really like, but it wasn't really over the line that they've they've lost a little bit of of punch with the more read I'm just saying with the more morere recent allegations have not been as as as you know, intense, and he's also because of all this, and it's almost I don't want to pretend that this is some plot from the beginning or

anything else. But it's almost like this was meant to save his his governorship because I said, ah, along, the bigger problem was that Governor Cuomo failed miserably and catastrophically on the issue of the nursing homes. And that was that's obvious. Now, that's that's the worst thing that he did.

But because when those revelations were coming out, I know there's still ongoing investigations, but there was this focus of the sexual harassment stuff, and the Democrats all said we think he should not all of them, but a lot of Democrats that we think he should resign. But they didn't do anything. This guy manages to just stay where he is, the governor of New York manages to just stay put for another month or two. He's going to be fine. He's going to keep his job. It's it's appalling,

but it's also kind of amazing. You know, you sit here, do you think, hold on a second, that's not the way this should go. That's not how this should happen. But wow, this guy is shameless and ruthless and durable in a way that defies any sense of psychological normalcy. I mean, this guy just he is the governor and always will be in his mind, and there's no changing that. And the allegations against him, as true as they all seem, and the nursing home disaster, as clear as that now,

is not enough to get rid of Governor Cuomo. President Trump back in action. Haven't really heard much from him in a little while. Now he's starting to call into shows, He's doing podcasts now. Trump is emerging from a period of regrouping, taking a little time to play some golf, see some folks after he had been president for four years. But this is the beginning I think of a Trump led opposition to this Biden and Democrat insanity. Right, this is what I've been expecting for some time. Who will

be kingmaker? They've said, is it going to be Trump? Because that's a role that he seems very suited to. I believe the answer is yes. I'm not sure the President's going to run again. No one's sure other than maybe the president, I'm sorry, the former president himself number forty five, Donald Trump. But there's a lot that he can do and I believe will do to be helpful before that. Other than that, And one of the things is that he's saying he's going to come back in

a few months now. This is through one of his former senior advisors. He's going to come back with his own social media platform. That is a fascinating possibility, and it's a necessary one because we know all about the censorship that's going on these days, and social media sites are openly suppressing points of view that involve being a Trump supporter, question lockdowns. I've dealt with this myself. They pretended to be open platforms. They're not. They act like

the op ed section of the New York Times. So instead of letting social media sites revoke your right to free speech, how about revoking their right to your data.

In order to accomplish the Green New Deal nonsense. They're destroying it with Woke. When Shina looks at Woke and they see the biggest problem we

have is doctor Seuss. In the meantime, they're building factories and trying to kill us in so many different ways. They laugh at us, they think we're so frankly, they think our country is when they look at this, when our competitors look at what's going on in our country, taking down the statues to great heroes and so many other things. Now I do it because I want to do what's right, and they are destroying our country. And the President knows this. Biden administration is just not up

for the challenge of China, not at all. I think it's very clear at this point that they they simply have not been They are not prepared for this. They're not able to deal with China, and that that really came across in the exchange that then Tony blink In, the Secretary of State, had up in Alaska with China, where China said, you know, you're just not speaking to us from a position of strength. You're going to see

more of that. You're gonna see more disrespect from the Chinese government, from the Chinese Communist Party against this Biden administration because Biden in the foo les around him don't see the world for what it really is. They don't understand human nature. They are they're utopianists. They believe that if only the government was in charge of more, everything would be so much better. It might even be perfect. You've just got to hand everything over to the government

and the right people in charge of the government. That's absolutely essential. But the inward problems, the inward looking problems in this country, the fractures of our culture, our history, or politics, that are all getting so much focused right now. It does nothing except weak in the country. When we disparage our shared history, when we have these kinds of divisions. We don't actually, we don't benefit in any way. There are people in this country who benefit because it helps

them acquire and utilize more power. That's what happens. That is the reality of the circumstances of we find ourselves in with this wokeness, this absurd notion that if we have an ever evolving and hypersensitive political correctness at the heart of American culture, politics, and thought, it's gonna make this country better, it's gonna make us stronger. No, it just has some people tearing us down from the inside, you know, from within the American family broadly speaking, and

China is a beneficiary of this. We have a war on merits in this country underway. We have a war

on objective truth underway in this country. Relativism, collectivism. These are ideas that arose the very foundations of the American experiment, and the people that control some of the commanding heights of our republic, the people that actually run the major institutions, not only of government, but of public health as we've seen, and of our corporations, major corporations, social media, certainly the news media. They are devotees of these ideas. They really

believe in all of this, and it's very damaging. I mean, it's very concerning for the immediate future of this country. I mean it's a problem right now. It's only going to become a bigger problem in time. And you know, Trump is seeing that this is he's correct when he's identifying that this is effectively a left wing administration with

a pseudomoderate at the head. But the decisions that they're making across the board, there's no moderation, there's no let's do things in a way that Republicans can get on board with because it's just objectively good for the country. I mean, really really try. I want you to think about that what has been because if you say, oh, well, the COVID bill, Yeah, the Republicans wanted COVID relief too.

They didn't want a two trillion dollar bill that had a lot of money that had nothing to do with COVID relief, so that the problem wasn't the area the areas of that bill that actually had to do with helping people because of the COVID pandemic. The problem was Democrats wanted to use it as a grab bag of goodies to hand out to their special interests and their own you know, their own political base. That was the point of all that. And so Trump is right when

he talks about this administration. I think people were, We're really encouraged to hear from the former president this way, and this is a voice that we need more. We need more of this in our politics right now. We need more of this somebody who's just going to speak the truth and let it fly. That's one of the

things I miss about Trump. It was so refreshing to have somebody with a big platform and tens of millions of supporters who would say the fake news media or a bunch of frauds and jerks, and then they would scream and shout, no, he's he's destroying the country, is a fascist and was all wise, and what he was saying was true, and he would stand and say it again, and he would not bend the knee on those issues. I mean, it was It was a wonderful thing, and

I already miss it. But that same voice would be good to have now telling the American people that what's going on here with this Biden administration is incredibly left wing. Here he is Play three, take a look at what's coming up and I predicted it all. Now I must say I never thought that Biden, and it's not Biden, it's other people that are, you know, putting stuff in front. But I never thought that. I never thought that Biden in a million years, would be worse nobody did, would

be far worse than Bernie Sanders. This is Bernie Sanders on steroids. This is what he's doing with all and that you haven't seen anything yet. So the Second Amendment is going to be obliterated and there's no stopping him and our le leadership Mitch isn't strong enough to stop people. Never was. It's like one of the big secrets. But he had the majority. But now that he's not in the majority, he's not doing his thing. He's not doing

what he should be doing. Now. Bernie Sanders, i think, to be fair, would have been a little bit worse than Biden on some issues. But here's the difference. I think. I think the assessment that it's worse to have Biden pushing a left wing agenda than Bernie Sanders pushing it is true. And here's why. Bernie Sanders is honest about who he is and what he believes. Now that doesn't mean that these are good ideas, doesn't mean they wouldn't

be catastrophic, obviously. But he says I'm a democratic socialist. He says I don't like rich people, even though I am one. Bernie Sanders, I'm not, but Bernie Sanders is. He says he doesn't like rich people. He says he wants Wall Street to pay more in taxes and everyone else to pay more in taxes who are high earners. And he wants free this and free that, free healthcare, free college tuition. You know, he wants college college debt

to be forgiven. He wants all these things. With Biden, what you have is somebody who pretends to be a moderate elder statesman. With Biden, would you have as somebody who pretends that he's a uniter, who's reasonable, who's, you know, this sort of grandfatherly figure to the country, but who's pushing about eighty percent of what you get from Bernie Sanders. So it doesn't really resonate with the American people the same way. Oh, this is what left wing politics means.

This is, you know, the disaster at our southern border. And let me also say, I think Bernie Sanders is better than Biden on immigration issues, which the Sandernistas would hate to hear this, but it's true because at least Bernie Sanders one is honest about the fact that he wants a pathway to citizenship for everybody and always has been, and wants amnesty and doesn't pretend that he wants any

of that, any of that to change. But also he thinks that there are problems with continued illegal immigration for workers and wages. You know, he was He's a little different on the issue immigration than Joe Biden was. Joe Biden's whatever the Democrat Party wants at any point in time. The places where you had some crossover with Bernie Sanders and Trump even were on trade and on workers wages

and immigration. Illegal immigration does affect workers' wages. So it's a complicated picture, but I think that it would be I wish that the election choice had been Bernie Sanders versus Donald Trump. Instead, there's this I think that what we have is a fundamentally dishonest choice, or we had a fundamentally dishonest choice because Joe Biden pretends to be

something other than that which he is. Oh, and speaking of how things are going at the border, here's Trump on well, here's Trump on how the media just constantly protects him. Play for Yeah, you don't have the same people in there. I mean, you might have the same people, but it's a whole different it's a whole different set of questions. It's ridiculous, the questions that are asking, you know, what did you have for dinner? What kind of ice cream do you have? As he walks out, they don't.

They never talk to me that way. And that's okay. I had a lot of press conferences. I enjoyed press conferences because you get the word out. It's the only way to get an honest word out because the press is really not a free press. The press is not a free press in our country. Okay, So the way you get the press out is with press conferences. Now he doesn't need him because the press protects him totally. It's totally true. The press protects Joe Biden. And it's

despicable because it's dishonest. You know, I don't hammer people in the media who say that they are they are Biden supporters and and that they they're honest about that. I hammer people who claim to be journalists who are obviously Biden supporters and who are lying to your face about it all the time. Now, I know Biden's supposed to have a press conference on Thursday, He's gonna do what he normally does. I'll do the whole you know, here am Joe Biden. Um, I'm here to bring the

country together. And we're gonna listen to the science and shot and where's my blankee? You know? I mean that's that's what. We know what it's gonna sound. We know what it's gonna be. And unless Biden, as I've always said, walks out on stage without his pants on, um, you know, muttering about how it's time to go, you know, feed the baby seals in the zoo or something, they're gonna say that he's great, shape, tiptop, no problem, this guy's great.

You know, you're starting to see people say, yeah, maybe they got to have a little bit of a longer look at a President Harris situation. Maybe maybe you got to start looking at, you know, what's going to happen here a few a few years down the line. I think it's important we all understand this that they're gonna lie about this, no matter what they're gonna lie about whether Joe Biden is up for the job, because they've

lied about that all along. And then even if we get to the point where it is clear that that the Biden Harris administration is really the Harris Biden administration, they'll say nobody could have seen this coming, Nobody could have ever known. You know, Joe Biden was tip top and he was doing a great job. Total wise, it's all propaganda. What's it like to just sit around? I wonder for people who work in journalism and be engaged

in a perpetual fraud. You know, I have my frustrations, and you know, being in the media business is not not easy. I mean, I'm blessed that I can do it, but it's also you know, they're the rough days. But at least what I do every day is honest, and I take a lot of I take a lot of solace in that I guess when things are tough, or when things don't don't go my way, or when people

are writing horrible things to me, whatever. There's a fundamental honesty to saying what you think and telling people who you are and what you believe. And American journalism is rooted in the falsehood that they're not all effectively Democrat partisans, and that they're not all just supporting Joe Biden at this moment, which they are doing there, and if they're not doing it, they're identified as a far right conservative

pretty much. That's that's the way this works. Yeah, and obviously you've heard the presidents say, and you've heard are both doctor Fauci and doctor Wilenski say that we believe it's a mistake to get rid of mask mandates. Obviously, governors have a certain authority there, but so do corporations,

so do employers, so do individuals. And we're making concerted efforts to make sure that people know that whether or not there's a mandate in place, people that it's in the people's strong interests, strong interest to continue to wear a mask until such time as people have had a chance to be vaccinated. Until such time, I want to be very cool. That's Andy Slavitt, the you know White House, you know, one of the White House COVID advisor people, until such time as people have had a chance to

be vaccinated. Now, I want to be very clear about this. They're saying that that they'll have you know, enough doses for everybody to have gotten vaccinated, whatever it is, by June or July. Do you think that this summer, after a couple of months, when it's it's true, that everybody in the country will have at least had a fair shot to get vaccinated, meaning that if they really want to that it's in their power to do so. It's free, it's in all communities, all across the country. I really

think they're gonna say, Okay, everyone's had their chance. Now you can have your Now, you can have your your freedom and your autonomy back. You can breathe fresh air without this mask theatrics going on. I want you to remember that I'm saying this now because this is going to be one of these buck moments where I say to you in July, guess what now they're now they're going back on what they told us before. They're moving the goal post for the hundredth time. That's what's going

to happen in this instance. What will be what will be the case is that in July they'll say, oh, it's an equity issue because not enough minorities are vaccinate. It's sorry, you got to keep them asking up everywhere. Oh it's a you know, it's it's an issue of social justice because there's a disproportion and impact on you know, communities of of color from the vaccination program hasn't gotten

in those communities to the same degree. And the truth is there's a lot of vaccination hesitancy among people, including among people from minority communities. So do we do We then have to wait until the bureaucrats are satisfied that they've done everything possible to convince people in the minority community who haven't gotten vaccinated that they should, because how long is that going to take? Never mind, I mean, I know there are people listening to this right now.

We're like, I'm not geting vaccinated, and buck, I know there are a lot of you. And if you're relatively young and healthy, I think that's you know, first of all, it's you're right across the board. It should be you're right across the board and trim whether you do this.

But beyond that, even based on the data on the science, you know, if you're young, but you know you have to get vaccinated as a protection for other people, they say, oh, okay, so now the government could force a needle in your arm because of the distant prospect that you may infect other people who also have the opportunity to get vaccinated and therefore should be protected. But there's some some off chance. This is health, this is health policy see Stalinism. All right,

everyone needs to understand what we're going through here. This is unprecedented. What's going on in this country unprecedented, and they're making this crap up as they go along, and it's disgusting and they've been wrong over and over again. I'm just I wanted to go on the record here. They're telling you that you should mask up until everyone's

had a chance to be vaccinated. And then in July, when people are saying, come on, let's get rid of these dumb ass mandates and lockdowns once and for all, they're gonna say, sorry, there's a there's some angle about you know, racism or social justice or whatever, and we can't get rid of the mass mandates yet. Guarantee you that's what's gonna happen. Sarsani time, our friend David Harsani

with us now from National Review. We're gonna talk filibuster reform, we're gonna talk gun control and yes, DC statehood with the man who will be writing about and has written about all of these things and more. David, great to have you. Let's jump right into it with DC statehood opposition. I'm now seeing, fascinatingly enough, racist. If you don't want DC to be a state, you're racist. Have you seen this? Yeah? But I mean everything's racist, right if you disagree with it,

So that is not the norm. Now. The funny thing is as actually that DC has continued, you know, over the past few decades, has been less and less African American and more and more white. So that argument's fizzle out, I think. But I mean there are many many other arguments against it. Yeah, let's make some of them, because right now there's this whole belief that you know, I'm seeing people that are supposed to be intelligent blue check

types from the liberal media. We're saying, well, you know, they didn't know that South Dakota was going to be a state either. You know, there's a lot of this stuff. This was actually dealt with. I mean, tell everybody, DC statehood is not something that the founders left unremarked upon. Actually, the founders did know South Dakota was going to be a state. They didn't know how it would look like or what the name would be, but they made provisions

in the Constitution to allow for new states. They also specifically created the federal district not to be a state. It exists, its whole existence is not you know, is to not be a state so that you don't have There are many reasons for it. You didn't want to have a federal government under a state government answering to it and being in its own district. You didn't want a place that would just accumulate power because you're not

supposed to have a you know, idea. We don't want a permanent political class that we have now, and all those reasons, you know, why we don't make it a state and why we don't give them a vote, and really the whole thing is just a cynical ploy to get more senators. That's not going to happen because you need to change the constitution to do it. So why so much focus on those What do they think they accomplished by making so much noise about this right now?

Because I worry that it's about it's kind of modern Bailey argument, or it's you know, okay, fine, maybe we won't break the filibuster for DC statehood. Not that that as you put not that that even would be what has But that's not the point. Okay, fine, we won't get this, but maybe we do have to go all out for HR one, or we have to break the filibuster for amnesty, or is what do you see happening? Why are they pushing for this? Yeah, I mean, I

think that's right. You know. First of all, I think they just want to normalize the idea for a long term goal. But I also think that they want to make Republicans look like they're anti democratic because many of them stand off for what's in the Constitution. I don't think it's a popular idea. I think you're right that it's part of a larger sort of push to you know, to you know, to make it look like Republicans always saying no to everything. They don't want people to have

voting rights and all the usual misleading stuff. David Harsani with US now. He's at National Review dot com to read his latest and David has also written a book. David title The book is on guns, First Freedom, First Freedom. Now we have another gun control argument upon us, the terrible shooting in Atlanta area, and now we have this Boulder, Colorado shooting. There's a lot of talk obviously about the

the not just the politicization around gun control. But last night, if anybody spent some time on social media, and I'd never recommend before you go to bed reading blue check liberal social media stuff on Twitter, because you'll just think that the world is coming to an end and we're all just getting dumber all the time. But they were

saying that clearly this is a Trump supporter. Clearly this is another white supremacist national white nationalist, and that's turns out the guy's a devout Muslim with the first name off mad or his name is off mad al Issa. And now the whole ship is going to be well, maybe we can't get as much out of the white nationalist terrorist angle, so it's all gonna be in on gun control. They're saying universal background checks, But David, we don't even know this. Did this guy pass a background check?

Bad guys in the past have passed background checks? Yeah, I mean I don't know. I don't know how he got his gun. They know that they want to incrementally take away everyone's gun, so they for them, there's no question of how to move forward. For me, I have to see how he got his gun before we can discuss with any other than you know, in an emotional way what to do or what happened or if there's anything we can do. So there's nothing you can do

about it. Is there any real data to support the notion that if we had universal background checks, which would then have this league, you know, this legal ramification for private sale among family members, let's say, or loaning your weapon, depending on what actually goes through different versions of the bill. You know, if you loaned your weapon to your brother in law or something so he could go hunting of

the weekend. There are versions of universal background checks that would be well you have to go to a federally licensed firearms dealer to have them run a Knicks check on your brother in law, etc. Right, So it's it's hugely irritating and harassing for people out there across the board. Is there any data to suggest that it would actually notably cut down on crime. I'll tell you yes, but

I don't. I don't think so. I think that there would be there's a marginal you know, do have marginal effect, and even then people will just find a different way.

Those people and you know, it's just meant, as you said, to harass gun owners you know, who have gone through a background check, person originally bought that gun, went through a background check, giving it to someone for the purpose of any crime, as a straw purchase or straw purchase, or or illegal to give it to anyone who you know is mentally ill, etc. Laws exist for all these things. They should be upheld. I am for that, but I'm not for creating new laws that inhibit law abiding people

who need weapons or want weapons. It's a constitutional right from getting them. It's that simple. And these tragedies don't change my mind on that because I don't believe any of the laws that they want will will change it, nor do I believe that they're worth it. So, you know, but they'll keep coming back with the same exact argument every time, no matter what the situation, and vast a number of situations like this, you have a young person

who's mentally ill. Probably I don't know about this case. I don't even want to. This guy was running around shirtless shooting people in a grocery store. I mean very you know. There may be some terrorists motive of some kind, we don't know, but I think I mean psychopathy is a fair is a fair bet. Yeah. But you'll notice, of course that if it was a white person, regardless of why they did it or what it is, it would be a reflection on the whole country. It would

be that we're white supremacists, we're racists. The whole country is the problem. But now when it's not that narrative, all of a sudden, it becomes a very individualistic act. All of a sudden, it's going to become about a gun control and not anything else. And it's just very frustrating that we can't actually have a real conversation about this,

because this is these are horrifying events. Even though gun violence generally has been down over the past thirty years, these events are terrifying and we should try to figure out ways to help. But all they want to do is they have their preconceived notions about guns that they just move forward in the same way every time. We're speaking of David harsan E got to National Review dot com for his latest pieces on this and other topics as well, and David filibuster reform. I mean, I gotta

say I love this. Right, We've we've already got the term. We've already got the phrase to make this sound like something other than what it is, which is, you know, eliminating the filibuster, right, I mean, if I'm if I'm trying to erase something from existence, if I put down a mouse trap because I don't want a mouse running around my house anymore, I'm not doing mouse reform, right,

like I'm trying to get rid of a thing. And to call this filibuster reform because Democrats want a majoritarian rule in the Senate, they want to get everything through as fast as they can. I mean, it's it's unprincipled, but it's it's almost if the stakes weren't so high, I'd say it's largely amusing because they just don't care. It just it doesn't matter what they said three years ago, three months ago about this. It's all about what works now. Right.

When Democrats want to create a law, they're filling a loophole. When they want to destroy law, they are, you know, reform. It's reform. So they always have the right words, the the extraordinary hutzpah there's another word really for it. Of

of this, of their argument is it's mind boggling. I mean, in twenty eighteen, thirty Democrats and a letter to save the filibuster not not not in some abstract way, but you know, I'm sorry, in an abstract way as a law, and that is some kind of neutral you know, as a neutral principle, not as some kind of like trick,

right supposedly, But now they want to destroy it. They've used it five hundred times since twenty fourteen, Republicans haven't even used it in years, and they're they're they're claiming

that Mitch McConnell is causing gridlock. They make this claim a week after passing a two trillion dollar bill, like what you doesn't even make any sense what they're saying, But yet they move forward and the media frames that is there in their you know argument, and and this is why, um, you know, this is the most dangerous thing, in my view of you know, of any law they want to pass. This filibuster reform stuff is the most dangerous.

Do you think that, you know, I have Republican and you know, conservative friends in the media, and they all say, oh, but you know, Joe Manchild won't go along. Oh but so and so I'm not convinced. Actually, I mean, they just they passed this one point nine trillion dollars spending bill. They made people wait for months and months without any of the of the COVID relief they should have been getting, so they could do this right. That was the gamble

they took. They passed Obamacare back in whatever was two thousand and nine, two and ten period without a single Republican vote. They used the nuclear option on the judicial filibuster under Harry Reid. I mean, if I'm looking at this over the last ten years, I say, no, I think they actually wanted. I think they actually do want to get rid of the filibuster. But I have people saying, oh,

they'll never get there. What do you think? Complicated? Complicated question in the sense that I think that they often, and this is not just Democrats, which Republicans sometimes act as if they have a majority. They think they'll have

it forever. Um. The problem is here. I think that they view it like this, we get rid of the filibuster, and we can pass something big, and that once you pass something big, it's impossible to pull it back, like Obamacare, for instance, So they feel like it's worth it even if Republicans come back, because Republicans aren't going to you know what what are we're going to pass a marginal a marginal tax rate cut or something exactly right, So

you know, that's how they view it. On the other hand, though, I don't know what bill exactly they're going to put forward that will you know, get people on board like moderates on board to destroy the filibuster? Meaning what bill do they don't they have the votes for? Like what bill are they at fifty fifty? Like the uh, you know, Green New Green Deal or Green New Deal. I mean, I'm not sure they're going to get mansion or cinema or anyone else for that. The gun control bill, I

don't know about that. A tax hike they don't need. That's they can use reconciliational. I think it's amnesty. I've been saying that all and that's my prediction. I think that that's the place where they view it as so momentous and such a structural change in American politics that it's worth it, all the blowback, all the risk is worth it for amnesty. Do you think that may? I mean, you know, a lot a lot of people say that's dangerous.

What do you think that's dangerous? Because I think that that is as much as the people you know, have a good talk on immigration. When you really dive into the numbers and polling, people do not like illegal immigration, didn't They don't love amnesty and all of that. I think if you do that in that way, they'll be

big blowback. But then there won't be a filibuster left and Republicans can pass money for walls and whatever they want right with the So we're fifty one, so well, you know, and I think Joe Biden, if that happens, you see what's happening now on the border, I can't imagine people like that. So I don't know. I mean, I think that would be dangerous and I don't see Mansion going along with something like that. But you know,

you never know. I mean, he is kind of he doesn't really have very strong principles, it seems to me, so he can be pushed around a bit. You always got that, you know, the induced means for Democrat politicians right now, when when it's really important to the to the DNC, to the Biden White House to get it done. I mean, people got to stop thinking about it's just

about votes, it's about a board seat on Netflix. You know, it's about you know, you know, Fauci's got a book that's coming out from Simon and Schuster Children's book This uh expected to come out later this spring. David, you know I mean this, You know, do the bidding of the left become a millionaire? All these people from the Obama administration that that went into the Obama administration with like less than one hundred thousand dollars in net assets,

like Jen Psaki, they come back they're multimillionaires. Now, Oh gosh, what big benefits? Yeah, I know, but you know they care about power in some sense too, so I you might be right. I mean, I just think HR one people when you say, oh, voting rights, they love it. But when you ask them do you think someone should show an ID to vote? They are like, you know,

eighty percent four that. So I think that passing something sometimes is easier, But there's big blowack after and that could happen with like HR one, which I don't think will pass hopefully, or you know, some kind of amnisty bill which could be tucked into some bigger bill on immigration, it might happen. I don't think, you know, I don't have any kind of big, definitive stand here, I think you might be right about that, but I think it's dangerous for death before I, by way, I agree that

it is. It is dangerous Democrats because I think also already they're seeing the illegal immigration crisis at the border. They're thinking about the midterms right now, and I think it does look ugly for the House of Representatives for Democrats. I think that's I think I think they got an issue already and they know it, and they're just they're

just getting started to that end. Before we let you go, David, two months in the Biden presidency worse than you honestly expected, about what you expected, or a little better than you expected. It's about what I expected. I mean, I maybe it's a little worse in the sense that I thought that Biden would pull it back to some kind of more moderate positions, but obviously he's going full blown, you know, left wing agenda items. I think that that's going to

hurt him in the board of thing. I did not expect it, but that you know and probably should have, and that I think is going to be something that harms them more than they think. Like you mentioned in the House races, Democrat Republicans are going to get six new districts already, right seats and now you're talking about a bunch of seat Arizona on Texas and elsewhere with this matters, David Arsani, everybody go to due to a National Review dot Com for his latest friend, David David,

thanks so much, man, good have you? Thank you so. First of all, that what you're saying is wrong, that's that's a fake narrative. So first of all, when we did the first pharmacies that had it were CVS and Walgreens and they had a long term care mission. We've done almost seventy five percent of the seniors in Palm Beach and the reason is because you had the strong retail footprint. And it's wrong, it's wrong, it's a fake narrative.

I just disabused you of the narrative, and you don't care about the facts because obviously I laid it out for you in a way that is irrefutable, and so it's clearly not no, no, no, you're wrong. You're wrong. You're wrong, Yes, sir, that is how you have to talk to the fake news media. Governor Ron de santists putting on a clinic. No, that that's what you have to do. You couldn't really hear what the reporter was saying. They're very well the press comments. I'll to tell you

she she went down. They didn't public's you know, supermarkets, didn't they donate one hundred thousand dollars to your campaign or something like that. The allegation here being that there was some favoritism in the vaccination site program meant to help Ron de santists, right, specifically, meant meant to help Ron de Santists. I'm sorry his donors, and he comes back at them and he says, he's like, no, no, not true. We've actually done a great job on vaccinations.

This is bull. I've given you the facts and figures, you have the data, and you just can't let them do what they're doing, which is they they present themselves as journalists, but they're activists. You can tell the people in the Democrat aligned media, which is ninety five percent

of the media. They show up at these press conferences and most of them want to get their their little clip, the little viral moment that goes on CNN, where they're effectively not actually trying to get information, but but posing an editorial as though it's a question meant to get meant to get data. They're editorializing, and the make believe is that they're just trying to get answers. And Rhonda Santis is totally right. That is the way you've got

to handle little fake news media. And that's one of the greatest lessons we learned from President Trump. Going on offense against against the news media is an absolute necessity. You must go on offense against the fake news media or else they will be on perpetual offense against you. So that's a very important I mean, that's that's a

critical place for all of this. I think it's essential that everyone understand that Republicans going forward need to take that attitude, need to say, I'm sorry, what you're saying is nonsense. It's bs. I don't you know. We can't deal with this this garbage anymore. All right, you don't have to give them some fake deference. Now, if a journalist shows up and asks a real question and get you know, wants a real answer, fine, of course, that's

why we have press conferences. But the moment somebody's grants it, the moment someone's acosta ing and grandstanding under the pretense of being a journalist. You got to call it out otherwise they get away with the game. Otherwise the fake news just continues and in fact gets rewarded for what it's doing. Rock and roll, fellow Patriots, It's time for roll call producer Mark Man. It is Tuesday, and I

know you're feeling all right. I got a cold though, So if for anyone who was wondering, why did I sound a little weird today or why am I kind of my voice coming in and out? If I sound like I'm I'm not depressed, we're down. I just my voice isn't what it normally is because it's all inflamed. And you know, I don't. I don't feel good today, So I'm just just pushing through. But you're feeling good, right, Yeah,

I'm feeling okay, Okay. I don't think I can host the show in your absence though, Yeah, I don't want to. I don't want to put that on you. Three hours a lot of radio to carry. Well. I feel like the audience would tune out when I started talking about sports. Yep, I'm not an expert in politics. What am I talking about? Yeah? Well, I mean, but there are sports lovers in the audience. I feel like, you know, a segment or two, they'd

think it was fantastic. So if you did it, are you hosting the sports topics, because then I don't think they would like that very much. No, I'm saying, well, you hosting sports topics for a couple of seconds, I would work out great. Three hours of sports might be a lot. That's always amazing me. I never listened to sports talk radio. That's just the fact that people can talk about sports for Are there three hour SportsTalk radio shows? There is really only one hour. There are five hour

sports talk shows. You're kidding, No, I don't. I don't how like, how is that a think about? Like? How is that a thing think about? In a city like New York got the Jets, the Giants, the Mets, the Yankees, got the basketball teams, You've got the hockey teams. There's enough to talk about that's remarkable. And people call in and they want to talk about their team. Yeah, every day, you know, I just I don't know. I there's a part of it feels like I wish I could get

particularly about college basketball. I wish I cared about college basketball with the kind of emotional poll and and and involvement and investment. That's what I'm looking for, emotional investment that so many other millions of Americans seemed. I mean, they look like March madness and college basketball people look at me like I'm an alien from outer space because I've I've never watched a college basketball game in full ever, but really never, Huh. I've never seen a full college bout.

I've seen in bars when I'm drinking and in my single days when I was like trying to actually get a girl's phone number or something. I've seen in the background and maybe feigned interest so that I looked like I was normal and cool. But I know, I've never watched a full college about I've always thought, if I didn't go to this school, why do I care? Point one? And then point two, wouldn't I just watch I've watched a lot of NBA games. Why why wouldn't I just

watch professional basketball? That's what I don't understand. Well, see, I will admit I did not watch a single college basketball game before the tournament that didn't involve my modern Offstra because you know, I don't really care. But when the tournament comes in, the games are so exciting, they're usually down to the wire. There's very food, few blowouts. It's just fun to watch the sport, you know what I mean. You know, look, I enjoy watching a basketball game.

I guess it's just somehow ncable a march madness. It it drives these huge ratings and there's this this it's a real cultural phenomenon. And I just I'm not I'm not criticizing it. I just I don't like it doesn't it doesn't land with me. You know, I sort of sit here like, I don't. I don't get it. You know, I'm to get excited about Gonzaga playing Duke or something. I'm like, I didn't go to these schools. I don't care. I'm an old man now. I don't know. I don't.

I don't get it. But what I'm curiously, you didn't go to any sporting events when you were in college. I I I went no. I mean I had friends on teams that I would show up for occasionally and watch like a quarter of and then I would usually want to go to a party somewhere and I would leave um and and for homecoming, I went to the parties that were around the field. Like what do you call that? When you do the you know, you're in the parking lot with the kegs and things. Yeah, usually

like a homecoming is what it's called. Yeah, no, no, what do you call tailgating? Tailgating? Yeah, so I would do that. And I think I saw in my four years at Amherst College, which is a small D three school, and nobody really cares about their sports except amhers versus Williams. We're supposed to care about that. I look at them, I'm like, why, uh, you know, I always thought the football players at my school, I had some some of the football players at at my school were my friends.

Most of them were jerks and I did not like them. A few of them were good buddies of mine, and I was just kind of laughing. I'm like, they're D three, they stink, Like who cares? I don't get it. What's why am I supposed to be impressed by this? We're not even good at this. We're Division three school to football. The quarterback was like my size, Like who cares? Oh,

I guess quarterbacks aren't that big. But you get what I'm saying, Like, it wasn't if you go to Ohio State and you go to a football game with one hundred thousand people in the stands or whatever. Like I could see that big exciting. Yeah I get that, but D three level that you're they're basically just playing for fun, to do, something to do during college, Yeah, but people

got so into it. Always be Oh, I was in the class of seventy five, and I still come to see, you know, amorous versus Williams that sit there, Like why who gives anyway? Anyway? I know, I know, it's just like I'm barely American. You guys gotta remember I'm from Manhattan, which is like not even really America. It's like a it's like some little, you know, cosmopolitanist enclave or something.

You know, it's just a different, different thing. This is also why you know, I sit around that I tell people, although see, I'm honest about these things. Like there are other people that come from New York or come from DC, and they pretend, oh yeah, like I work in conservative

media and I love country music or something. It's really I mean, look, country music can be really great, but I don't pretend that I'm some big country music buff because I think it's going to appeal the fact that my radio show is played in a lot of parts of the country where country music is really popular. Like I respect country music, but I don't know. I guess I just like I'm just not a fraud. I think that's I don't. I don't like being a phony. So anyway, um,

let's get to uh where are we here? Okay? Yeah? Roll calls? We actually have people sending in roll calls stuff? And wait, where are we here? Where? Where did it go? Bruce and Mark? Where? Oh? There it is Facebook dot com, slash buck Sexton or team buck at. iHeartMedia dot com. I send us all your thoughts, all your stuff, and with that we will get to it. Chrissie, Right, Wait,

hold on a second, Ashley, let's do this one. Hey Buck, I've listened to you for for years, not quite one of the original crew, but long enough to be a Shield's High chick. I am replanning a COVID wedding currently, so I might just have all the emotions going on, but I'm so happy to hear you have a new lady in your life and I wish you all the happiness. Well, thank you, Ashley. Yeah, her name is Debrah. It's not

actually snow Princess. We met right before lockdown, I mean a couple a few months before, like, but I mean we met like right before the and so we've spent my twenty twenty was defined by Deborah and Tolou and Talus an animal, and I understand that's a different you know, canine companionship is is never not the same thing as you know, the person that is your significant other. But those are those are my ladies, that those are my two ladies for the whole of lockdown, and it really

help producer. Mark was very fortunate and that he got married. What you got married five months before lockdown? Something that I got married late November of twenty nineteen, and then we went to lockdown in March. Yeah, so let's say December, January, February. Yeah, three like three months basically about three months. Wow, look at you, just under the wire and you had a big wedding with people dancing and enjoying life and not quadruple masking with goggles on, terrified of their own shadow.

Isn't that nice? Yes? I think we would not have ended up having a wedding at all if I would have had to be with any of the COVID stuff. Yeah, no, I mean though the way that they've they've done all this stuff. Now you know, they're still telling people they don't even think they should be able to do outdoor weddings this summer. I'm sitting I'm like, why outdoor is safe? What is the problem here? And people are vaccing it? Oh my god, I lose I lose my mind. I

lose my mind? What else to say about it? All right? Alex, Hey, bucking Mark, I heard you complaining about being on the treadmill with a mask on. Get a peloton and join us in the Team Buck group. All the other peloton listeners join and tell the other peloton listeners to join Team Buck. Lastly, I spent the day yesterday in Manhattan. It was beautiful in NYC. My wife and I meandered our way from fifty seventh and first to twenty third and ninth. I did not wear a mask for the

entire walk. I wanted to see if anyone was going to comment. No one did. Actually saw a good number of folks with no mask. Let's let's let's hope this is a trend. She'll tie well, Alex, you walk not too far from the buck, my friend, So you were definitely crossing through my neck of the woods and see Team Buck is closer than we even realized, Producer Mark, They're not just in our hearts, in our minds, they're actually physically around. Yeah, they're everywhere. Yeah they're They're all

over the place. And as for as for masking on this show, that's good to hear the people, I think because as the weather gets warmer, you will see more

mask non compliance outside. It's never even really been clear to me because they've always said mask outdoors if you can't social distance, okay, Well I just everyone that sees me outside should just assume that my plan is to social distance, okay, and they can leave me, leave me alone and go blank themselves, like they should just assume that that's where we are, and that would be my thing. Let's see what we get here, Nancy or it's hey, Buck,

I listen to you Tuesday night. I'm in La. The station is the Patriot, which I think is affiliated with I believe she means KiB but she wrote Kiev in here or Kiev as I believe it said in the Ukrainian But I don't think I think she right Prus Mark. She probably means KiB. Yes, our station in Los Angeles. Correct, yes, because otherwise the Petri being affiliated with the station than Kiev. I don't know how big a Team Buck Kiev is

as a station. It's very um does not sound large. Yeah, we haven't gotten the syndicating radio outside of America yet. We are not, as far as I understand, we are not syndicated in Ukraine. Although if there is some Team Buck Ukraine out there, and I know, I don't if you're a Team Buck born in Ukraine and now live in America, you're just Team Buck America wherever you are, I mean actual Team Buck in Ukraine right now? Do let us know? Because that would be fun. Because we've

had in the past. We got Team Buck South Korea, Afghanistan, Iraq based pretty much anywherehere there's United States military. Germany, we got Team Buck FO representing there. We also have had on the civilian side, Team Buck Israel. I'm sorry, yeah, Team Buck Israel, Team Buck Ireland. Where else have we had international folks right in from like Australia. Australia, Yeah, English speaking English speaking countries like that, for sure. There's

some Team Buck Canada. I haven't heard much from them in a while. What's up Team Buck Canada. I haven't heard from you in a while. What's going on? Uh? Getting a little frosty up there? So but yeah, if there's Team Bucky Crane, let us know about the masks, Nancy Rights. They're saying opening Disneyland that you cannot scream or lap when you're on a ride. I just had to tell you a loyal fan, thanks, Nancy. Yeah, that's

this is what happens. I mean, when you're not allowed to point out how stupid their rules are, their rules get dumber when you just like like a like a good little a good little surf right when you mask up between bites and you don't challenge how stupid that is, then it turns into you're only allowed to chew ten times and then you have to mask up regardless. You know.

Then then they just keep pushing because their attitude is no matter how stupid the regulation may be, if there's a theoretical possibility it may stop someone from getting COVID, it is justified. That's really been their approach all along. If it saves just one COVID case, has been the way that they've approached this. And this is actually a recipe if they were to continue with this. This is the recipe for the ruination of the country that we live in. More roll call to finish us up here,

get the word out, all right. Al Buck on the comments of condemnation for Cuomo's alleged acts towards some women from Biden, Schumer, and de Blasio, it's just posturing and distraction from the more serious situation, which is the nursing home debts. Reminds me of a famous Archie Bunker quote. Generosity is a great thing, especially when it doesn't cost you anything. Onwards, Sir Al, I've been saying I agree

with you. I've been saying this all along, that the focus on the sexual harassment allegations against Cuomo removes a lot of the attention, unfortunately, removes a lot of the attention from what should get far more of the press, certainly attention, which is the lethal stupidity and thuggishness in the behavior of Cuomo with regard to the nursing homes and the cover up in all of it. That's a much bigger scandal. It's awful of that is what happened.

And they focused on the sexual harassment allegations, which have resulted in you know that there's there's I think Cuomo is going to end up staying because of that. He's managed to live to fight another day as a politician because they they met, they turned the whole public's attention onto the sexual harassment stuff. And look, it wasn't This stuff is bad, but it wasn't at that level where

it was just truly unsustainable anymore. He was able to still say, oh, let's wait for investigation, let's not jump to conclusions, let's wait to see what the investigator's fine. Right that he was able to do that, and that was all it took for him to, you know, stay in it, and he is staying in it. He's not he's not going anywhere. In my estimation, I think Governor Cuomo has managed to make it through this all right. Michael, Hey Buck, I'm a union pipe fitter in western Pennsylvania.

Have been a fan of yours since your days on the Blaze, even though my union towed the party line. Myself and a pilot guys and my local voter for Trump because we knew what the Left was going to do to our industry. Our work is dependent on building natural gas fired powerhouses. The contractors have backed out. Well, Michael Man, great to have somebody out in Western PA who's a union member who listens. I hope you, Michael, will get all of your union brothers and sisters to

please listen to the Buck Section shows. Well, tell them they will, I think, enjoy, appreciate, and certainly learn from this show, even if their politics don't totally align with mine. I think that we do a show that that is information dense enough and an analytic enough that even those who don't align with me on everything see value in hearing the perspective, see value in giving me some of their time so they understand the argument from a conservative perspective.

That's gonna be it for us. Today here though, in the Freedom Hut, and we've got a lot that I'm sure we're gonna have to get to tomorrow, So please do spread the word. Oh and give us reviews on iTunes in the Apple podcast Store five stars for the Buck Saxon Podcast. Please helps us and write a review. See you all tomorrow, same time, and place shields high.
