BLM Calls Looting Reparations

No, Welcome everybody to the buck Sexton Show, the Freedom Hut, to one place where we can all speak the truth, where it all makes sense, where we get to hang out and the world feels just a little bit. Or thank you so much for being here. Make sure that you send us your thoughts throughout the week. Team Bucket, iHeartMedia dot com if you want to email, Facebook dot com, Slash buck Sexton if you want to send us that way, or

There was a series of looting over the weekend, and here's a big problem at the LIB that the left had. Usually they will say that the looting has nothing to do with the real and respectable and important movement of BLM. All right, this is what we're often told. This is

the storyline that is shared with us. There's a problem with that, because often what happens is that there has been this is for the last few months at BLM protest, and then that protest, at least a portion of it is either cover for the looting, or some group of individuals within that protest engages in looting. But the one goes with the other starts to feel a little bit like one two punch, a symbiotic relationship of sorts. You

get the protest, then you get the looting. Now, it doesn't happen always, obviously, but it happens with some frequency. And over the weekend we saw this again in Chicago. You had a protest over the illegal police shooting the murder of a teenage black male, and turned out it wasn't what they said it was. The guy was twenty, he shot at cops, he was shot, he was not killed. He's taken to the hospital. And it is yet to be the case that democrats want police officers or demand

that police officers get fired at and not return fire. Right, Democrats have not yet taken that position with taser's. Yes, with actual firearms, maybe they think that way, but they haven't yet been willing to come out and say, no, cops, you should get shot at him and you can't actually return fire. So it was a hoax. It was a hoax. Murder by cop didn't actually happen, and yet it led to a protest. No one of the protest it seemed, cared very much that what they were protesting didn't even happen,

and then there was looting. So yet BLM Black Lives Matter protests for a thing that doesn't happen, and then that leads to looting. What is the lesson that we're supposed to take from all of this? Oh, it reminds me of the lesson we take from Joe Biden over the weekend, pandering to the African American community in this country by saying that Michael Brown's life was taken from him and we need to remember about systemic racism. Michael Brown attacked a police officer and was killed by that

police officer in the defense of himself. Every human being, I don't care. I don't care what people say about historic wrongs, or historical pressure or historic anything. Every person alive today, of every race, creed, color, has the right to defend himself or herself against violent assault, every person on planet Earth. It is rooted in natural law. Doesn't matter what the state says, doesn't matter what the politics are,

You always have a right to defend yourself. And law enforcement obviously also needs that right, as they are supposed to be the front line of the use of force by the state against those who would break the state's laws. What happened the days after the looting in Chicago, which which is an embarrassment to the city. It should be the city of Chicago, the people that run it, the police force, the mayor, They should feel as though they

failed because they have they have. The police Superintendent for Chicago, Dave David Brown, here's what he said play clip ten. CPD became aware of old social media post encouraging looting downtown. Officers were dispatched to our downtown area once we got word of the social media post. Four hundred officers who were dispatched to our downtown. As the officers arrived to our downtown, the first incident happened at a store near the eighty seventh and the Dan Ryan Expressway. Soon car

caravans were headed into the loop. This was not an organized protest. Rather, this was an incident of pure criminality. This was an act of violence against our police officers and against our city. This was also coordinated, right. The looting was a coordinated response. You may have seen the vehicle being used to smash into the window of a store. This was thought through. They planned, the looters planned to

do this. I'm sure if law enforcement was willing to look into it, they would see that social media in different communication apps or a part of it. But this was not the frenzy of the moment. This was not people overtaken by feelings of rage because of the story of another young black man killed, illegally, killed, murdered, shot down the street by police. That didn't happen, at least not in a way. Look, I don't get sad when someone shoots the cops and that person is shot. I

don't feel any outrage. I don't feel any I have no problem with the state. I have no problem law enforcement for that. In fact, it's something that we should all say is what needs to happen. It is the just outcome. If a criminal fires a gun at police officers and the police shoot that criminal in response, that is justice. Ah, Now we have to start getting to the heart of the matter. That is a just outcome.

It's regrettable, right. We don't want anyone to have to be to have to suffer the use force at the hands of the state. It would be preferable if we never had any such incident, of course, but when someone makes that decision, it is in fact the just outcome for police to respond with lethal force in that way. We need to understand that. Okay, there's no license for people because they're upset because they feel like there's systemic

racism or oppression or whatever else it may be. And who gets to hold up that manchel who gets to white liberals, for example, on behalf of oppress. African Americans get to engage in violence against cops and think that they're acting in a way that is justified. Clearly in Portland they do think that. So we have to push back on this. We have to shove this narrative out of the public square. We have to defeat it, and we can't dance around it. We can't pretend that it's

not there. They told people that this was the result of a police shooting. It did not happen. This was rooted in ignorance and exploitation of the moment, for thievery, for stealing. People who were involved in this were stealing. Okay, let's be very clear. This is a criminal act. Now. They will also tell you that this has nothing to do with BLM, that there was a BLM protest and then there was coordinated rioting and looting. Right, these are really two of the same thing. There are two things

that go together, coordinated looting and rioting. You had BLM with all of this there, and then the police have to come out in full force, and it's it's a total nightmare for the city of Chicago because other businesses will think, do I really want to set up down there? There were small businesses, there were independent operations, not that we should. There's this attitude as well, oh well they have you know, it's it's a CDC, it's a major

national drug chain, it's a big designer clothing store. Who cares because it'll all be okay, they've got enough money. No, there are big stores closing all over the place, and those stores represent jobs. There are people that feed their families because of the paycheck they get from these stores

that they never reopen again. And these looters are doing this to Chicago when this city has already been kicked in the stomach by COVID nineteen, the lockdowns, the lunacy of the libs that if we just keep pretending like we can wait this thing out, everything will get better. But while the city is in this fragile state, they're seizing that moment, seizing that opportunity. And that's why I think it's so important that we really speak honestly about

the mentality here. Black Lives Matter members in Chicago, according to Fox, held a rally. This is after all this stuff happened, right after sixty million in property damage, thirteen police officers injured, over a hundred arrested. BLM holds a rally. Official organizers of BLM now they'll say, oh, there's no such thing. No, there are people that are tied into the movement. The movement is getting money, lots of it.

It has corporate America bowing to it. Now. It is responsible the same way the Republican Party is responsible for whatever some you know, state assemblyman says, and who knows what state? And at all? It's true of all, No, no, if you're part of if you're part of the group, we get to criticize the group for what somebody who's a part of it says or does. That's the way this works. A BLM organizer, not just a protest or a person there, said about the massive theft and destruction

quote that is reparations. Anything they wanted to take, they can take it because these businesses have insurance. Oh you mean exactly what I've told you is the mentality that some members of the BLM movement are willing to say out loud that historical oppression and injustice inequity, not inequality. We'll talk about that inequity in society justifies this kind

of behavior. The organizer went on. Quote, I don't care if someone decides to loot a Gucci or a Macy's or a Nike store, because that makes sure that person eats, said Ariel Atkins. A BLM organizer. That makes sure that person has clothes. So are we still going to hear Oh no, the media will pretend that this didn't happen.

They'll try to move on to something else as fast as possible, because what they don't want the American people to see is that the BLM movement, which I have been telling you has made everything worse for everyone, has rotten principles at its core. Right, it's not just that the slogan black Lives matter, as we know that's intended to put people on defense. Every person who is moral, decent,

ethical agrees that black lives matter. In fact, it's it's offensive to think that it has to that anyone has to be reminded of this or has to say it in order to believe it. Of course we believe it. I do, you do. The movement is entirely separate from that very basic belief. The movement is a bunch of

Marxists who want to destroy the nuclear family. The movement is concerned with the acquisition and utilization of power under a radical Marxist umbrella that uses as the tip of its spear racial separation, racial identity politics, and likes to pull us apart at the seams. BLM increasingly, if you pay attention what the movement does and how its members speak about it, BLM increasingly, who wants there to be a different set of laws for an application of justice

depending on what your skin color is. In this country, this is already occurring with things like affirmative action, which are clearly legal mandates legal changes based upon skin color. We know this already happens. This exists with diversity training and corporate hiring. But now they want to expand that even further. Now it has to be a redistribution of the goods of society, a redistribution of the wealth. And remember,

wealth comes from labor, laborers, time and effort. When people are taking property from you, it's like they are seizing hours of your life from you. It's like they are taking away time from your life. There's a reason why it's immoral. You often hear well, property destruction is not violence. Really, Any lib who says that in the media should should

run an experiment. How would they feel if someone came by their home while they were inside it and people just smat all their windows with baseball bats and destroyed everything in their home. Would they feel violated or would they say it's just property. It's just property, my friends. They are kicking at the load bearing walls of our civilization and laughing as they do it. And the cowards the abject cowards in our own media go along with it at every step of the way. They excuse it,

they encourage it, they lie to you about it. Looting in Chicago, according to BLM, is like a form of reparations. Gee, if we're going to go down that pathway, what else is acceptable? What other double standards in law in society should exist based upon skin color to advantage some at the expense of others as a matter of law. Oh,

BLM doesn't want to answer that one. And you know who else doesn't Joe Biden and the Democrats who are just now realizing they don't really have control of this movement and it has become a liability for them, So they're going to have to lie about it, suppress it,

push it aside, distance themselves. The media is going to be working so hard to pretend that the excesses of this movement that are very apparent to all of us don't bring down Biden's hopes this fall, because the whole game here all along has been to pretend the Democrat Party isn't the party of BLM and Antifa and defund the police and abolish ice, but really we all know they are, and They can try to run from it, they can try to hide from it, they can try

to lie about it, but we are onto them. You're in the Freedom und This is the Buck Sex and Show podcast. We are waking up in shock this morning, early morning hours today, dozens of individuals came to our Loom Magmile River, North and Gold Close neighborhoods, as well as our commercial district around North and Clymorne. These individuals engagement it can only be described as brazen and extensive criminal looting and destruction. And to be clear, this had

nothing to do with legitimate, protected First Amendment expression. You know, that's supposed to be brave, right, It's supposed to be all. Here's the mayor of Chicago saying that this has nothing to do with First Amendment. Yeah, we know that. Does anyone really think it does? But notice that the way that the movement BLM will be criticized is always saying the most obvious and whatever they can say, that's not really going to go after the core of the movement.

He hears. The problem with BLM. It is built upon lies. It is built upon lies. Okay, it is built upon the lie of Michael Brown's martyrdom. It is built upon the lie that young black men are killed illegally and without consequence by police on a regular basis systematically in this country, that people don't care when that happens, that

there's no outcry when that happens. These are lies. So it's very hard for anybody to take a movement for justice seriously when the movement is initially started by the injustice inherent in telling the public untruths to get them to their side. No one's going to say that in a position of democrat authority. Though, No, we still have to do this thing where despite now we're months into it, we see what does this movement too? Does this movement

bring people together? Do they bring people together in peaceful protest? And do you see an effort to persuade and effort toward toward dignity for all people, for justice for all people in this country. No, it's divisive. It's full of virulent anti cop hatred. Time and again, it often devolves into violence. It often devolves into looting and destruction. Sixty million dollars of property destruction and one night in Chicago, sixty million folks. Why do we have to pretend like

this movement is a good thing at all. I keep saying it. It has made everything worse for everyone. Nothing is better because of BLM nothing. It is an expression

of rage. It is an expression of excuses by Marxists who seek to divide and conquer the United States, and to do so they rely upon reflecting whatever anger that exists in the community on specific people, on specific targets, without without ever actually addressing why do the problems in certain communities exist as they do no effort to It's all the cops fault, you see.

It almost sounds as though you were saying, this is the reason we happened is because the courts and the prosecutors were not doing their job, that they were going too easy on the looters from the last time. They don't take it from me. Just go by what's been done. I don't want to do a job for you, but just go by what's been done. There was there

were no consequences for the people arrested. Let's be clear, I mean, don't bad us. Okay, this is no, no, do not bid us. Don't do not bid us. This is a serious situation. People are concerned about their safety. Officers are concerned about their safety, So don't bade us. What we're saying is, as a result of what happened

last night, there have to be consequences. We've got teams of people that aggressively out there identify the people responsible, looking at the plates, and we're going to bring them to justice. But when we do, and we do make those arrests, our expectation is that this is going to be treated with the level of seriousness that it should be. Period. Don't try to bait us, mischaracterize, pick one against the other. We're not playing that. We are in a serious situation

here and we need a serious response. That's what we're saying, perious, Mayor of Chicago's and don't bait us. This is so serious. This is not a time for games. The reporter's questions seem very legitimate to me, is asking about prosecutors and judges. We keep hearing this in New York too. I know this is one of the democrats favorite talking points now as their cities smolder in ruin, right, they say, oh, well,

it's because the courts aren't operating because of COVID. Really, the courts are preventing police from being able to do their jobs effectively in these cities. No, what prevents police from doing their jobs in New York, in Chicago, in name a city going through a crime wave in Minneapolis, is that Democrat politicians have promised the mob that the

cops are on a short lease. Now the cops are on notice that even a good faith error in trying to deal with violent, resisting arrest suspects, even a good faith error could result not just an loss of job, a loss of freedom in the case of Atlanta, perhaps even the threat that the state will put a needle in the arm of a law enforcement officer defending himself. That has a real effect, that has real ramifications all across the country, ramifications that the BLM movement wanted, demanded

defund police. We have gotten to a place where we see what happens when people turn on law enforcement and don't get any of these lib morons out there. They love the commitment. They haven't defunded decamped yet. Yeah, the whole point isn't just that they're saying they want to defund them, and they have actually defund of them in

some places. It is the messaging of defund police. It is the messaging of de Blasio and Lightfoot and name another mayor of a major city of Wheeler in Portland, taking every opportunity to pander to the angry mob, to pander to the Democrat Biden voters who think the rules don't apply to them because they're so upset. I'm so

upset right now. You know else is upset. The people who showed up to stores that they worked in, that they called places of business, that allowed them to pay their bills, that allowed them to feel pride when they returned home to see their wife or husband and kids. Another day doing the right thing, another day bringing home a paycheck, making sure that you all have food on the table, rent is paid, healthcare. The pride, the dignity of that that's being stolen from people by these looters

who destroy businesses that won't open now for weeks perhaps ever. Again, it's not just the theft of the property, it's the theft of peace of mind. It's the theft of dignity, of decency that occurs. That's why the state has to enforce these laws. That's why there must be punishment for these things. And now we're told by Mayor Lightfoot, Oh, we have teams working on this. We're going to hold people to account. This is where the progressive prosecutor project

that I've told you about also comes into play. Do you think that the Kim Fox prosecutors Kim Fox like prosecutors across the country. She was the one in the Jose Smallt case. Do you think that they're really willing to drop the hammer down, so to speak, You think they're really willing to put away a looter at this point in time. No, not in Chicago. Not if you want to keep your prosecutor job. Not if you want to be district attorney, maybe become mayor yourself. You're gonna

find rationales for letting people off easy. Look at what has been happening in this and these are all Democrat ideas. And this, unfortunately has been one of the places where the Trump administration was infiltrated with some very faulty LIB thinking. Okay, the Lib thinking is, if we only do more criminal justice reform, if we try to meet them halfway, we will we will have safer communities, will have better outreached

the minority community, and they'll be more justice. What has ended up happening is you get rid of bail you have, so you have people who are released who go out and commit more crimes. Somebody recently killed the woman he raped who was a suspect against him in a rape trial. He was let out of prison because of COVID fears, So they used the fear of COVID to let people out who shouldn't have been let out. They get rid of bail so that judges have a much harder time

holding anyone. They tell cops, you better find a way to wrestle lunatic suspects to the ground, emotionally disturbed persons to the ground, and not make it look like you're using any violence against them, or else you'll lose your job and maybe go to prison and have your life ruined,

your family's life ruin. All these things coming together result in what we're seeing right now, the doubling of shootings year to year in the month of July in a place like New York, the doubling of shooting America's largest city eight point six eight point seven million people, Chicago is the third largest city. Look at the major cities across the country. Why is violence rising in all of them? And especially when you're talking about the statistics here the numbers.

It's in a year when people have been largely confined to their homes, far less human interaction on the streets, far less opportunity you would think for criminal mischief and criminal predatory behavior. But no, the number we're breaking records in all the worst ways in many cities across the country. Why because of the lies the Democrat Party told. This is on This is squarely on them. I hope, I

really mean this with my friends. I hope that it costs the Democrats the presidency and control of the House. I can't tell you that it will, but that would be justice. That would be justice for the store owners, for the employees of those stores, for the people who live in neighborhoods who have been terrorized by this, and the coddling of the media of a movement that has brought no benefit other than the social justice virtue signaling for mostly white liberals out in the streets for their

Instagram and their TikTok videos. They're not helping anyone in society. They're not tackling systemic racism. They're not making racism go away. In fact, they're creating a society in their minds where race becomes a determining factor in innocence or gui, where race, all of a sudden, can be used to the benefit of minorities against you know, non minorities, whites and Asians predominantly in the legal system. They believe in this, They believe in these changes to the country. All of this

is negative. All this is destructive, and we're seeing the results, and they want to hide the results. They'll try, but they can't really because we see them for what they're doing. We see what's going on. Will they hold them responsible in Chicago for the looting? I don't think so. I don't think so. Will we hold the Democrat Party responsible this fall? Will the Americans listening to this in Ohio,

in Florida, in Nevada, in Wisconsin? Will they recognize what the stakes are and what the Democrat Party has become and rebuke it at the ballot box? That is the question that I leave for you right now. I certainly hope the answers. Yes. You're in the Freedom und This is the Buck Sex and Show podcast. Russia claims to have a vaccine the pot of coronavirus. We'll see if

he sees through. Look, this would be a huge breakthrough if it's If it works, it's pretty impressive if the Russians with an economy that has a fraction the size of the US economy, If the Russians are are truly able to have or I've been able to do this now. Part of this, obviously is going to be that the Russian government is more willing to tolerate risk from a

thing like this. They have not done the big, the big trial of about thirty thousand people, which is going to be done, which is underway right now in the US, for large scale data sets in order to hast effectiveness and safety of this. The Russians, I guess they're deciding, Look, we're pretty sure that this is effective. It is based

along similar technology. It's not like they're, you know, telling you to rub some dirt on it or something, right, I mean, they're they're basing this along similar technology or similar research and science. I should say that's being used in other places. And they are all prudent. Says that one of his daughters has already taken it. And I always tell you that there is there's a test here.

You know, there's a test here where do as people do themselves when it comes to medicine, not as they tell others to do, right, I mean, you know you could trust somebody. I mean, I trust a doctor who will tell me that, you know, for X disease, he or she and his whole and you know, their whole

family have taken the treatment or been vaccinated. That that always adds a little layer of Okay, I think that that's probably more it's more likely, probably more likely that you can trust that person's opinion even even more fully. At least, so we have a Russia vaccine, a Russian vaccine that's out there. I don't know how they're gonna tie this into Russia collusion, but maybe just just give

it time. You'll probably see somebody on the left, a journo who comes out with some version of uh, you know, they'll they'll say something along the lines of Russia is trying to help Trump by rushing out a vaccine. You're gonna see it, all right, it's a prediction, but I think you're gonna say, oh, look at this, putin Trump's best buddy going out there, try to help Trump win election by because there is a little bit of a sense to the agonist. I can feel it in the

news cycle. You can sense it that the market's gotten up. The Dow is up above I think twenty I think, Producer Mark was a twenty seven, twenty eight thousand. Today it's the tao Is is up a bunch this week, and there's a sense that, Okay, we're getting close here, almost into September, September October, we really should have a vaccine based on the trials we're seeing here in this country this year, which it means within a few months.

So it's starting to feel like the end of this is near, and that's a great thing for America, for the whole world if that's true. I don't want to look. One of the most important lessons I've learned in life do not celebrate early. You don't celebrating early is psychologically catastrophic. It also forces you to make off in very bad decisions because once you've already said, oh great, look I win, you know you never want to be the guy, right,

Producer Mark. You don't want to be the guy who's doing the touchdown dance before you get into the end zone. And you get tackled right that the team doesn't like that guy. Yeah, not a smart move. Yeah, that's not a good move. You don't want to be that guy. So I'm not high stepping yet on the COVID vaccine because who knows right and who knows about this rush? I'll tell you this. Would I take the Russian vaccine? No,

producer Mark, would you take the Russian vaccine? No? Absolutely not. Yeah, No, I don't. I don't think so. I mean there's a part of you that that that's hoping it would like make me Ivandrago from a Rocky four. You know, I'd be like, it must break you. But I don't think. No, it's not going to do that. So I do believe. I do believe that there's a lot of twenty Yeah, it's over twenty eight dow over twenty eight thousand. Today. People are starting to feel it. They're like, I think

it's going to come back. And here's what I want you to be prepared for. And you've got to get your mindset in this space now because otherwise you will, you will give the other side more credit than they deserve on this right, You've you've got to look at this as it is right now, and you've got to say, okay, they're going to be rooting against a vaccine for widespread ushers. The Libs are gonna say, no, no, no, let's hold off,

let's hold off. They don't want vaccination to start and a big surge of optimism and economic activity to flourish over the next sixty days. And that's that's a hard thing to hear because you know, all we have so many libs out there wear a mask, you know, all this stuff. Oh my gosh, they're always in panic about this. You know, you're outside walking by yourself, no longer than twenty yards. Why aren't you wearing a mask? Because I'm

not crazy, I don't know. But those same libs, remember, the COVID virus for them has been and I'm I'm now going deep into lib psychology for you, I know, buckle up. The the COVID pandemic for the liberal mindset in America has been the realization for them has been for them, it has proven them, It has proven them right in their minds that Trump is a disaster of

unparalleled proportions, a threat to their republic. And so what they are most upset about ultimately is that Trump has been president during this and they blame him for all of it, even though it is hit the whole world, even though there are so many countries that on a per capita basis have had more fatalities than the US has, they still view this as essentially it's like a catharsis of anti trumpsm this whole process of going through this virus,

it's there. They are expunging or expelling all their anti Trump rage during this virus period, and they only think the only thing that they're looking forward to with all of this right now is that Trump will lose the

election because of the virus. Can you imagine psychologically where they will be if after this virus, which they blame Trump for, they say he's showed no leadership, but he's been horrible, If after all that he wins reelection, they will think that this is a president who has gotten away with you one hundred and fifty thousand murders. I mean, that's crazy. I know, that's absolutely textbook insane. But they

will believe that. A lot of them believe that, and they've already convinced themselves for years the Trump is a Russian asset which was also stupid and insane. Now they're going to think that the president has gotten away with mass murder during the pandemic, and you know, he's the worst person ever. I was watching the show Succession, and the main character who's sort of like the head of Fox News ales that's kind of is based off of

He's Got It. It's a fictional show, but there's rough approximate, you know, approximations with characters. And the guy's brother, who's a huge lib has this whole monologue about how the head of the conservative news network has killed more people than Hitler because of climate change denialism, and it's absurd, but that's a mentality that actually exists. People are going to think that Donald Trump, they're going into the Democrats libs think that he's responsible for the COVID death doll.

He personally is responsible, and so whatever they have do to hold them responsible making sure he loses, they think is justified. Thanks for listening to the buses and show podcasts.

Speaking of dishonesty in service of the Democrat narrative around COVID and the fight against coronavirus, China virus, all that stuff. We have been living through one of the most epic gas lighting situations I've ever

seen in my entire life. Actually a couple of them, the two great gas lightings of the COVID pandemic have been one public health experts who were willing to bow down in servians to the Black Lives Matter movement at the risk and cost of infections and lives, by their own logic, by their own expert advice, to bow down before that movement and justify, not even apologize for it, just straight up justify the mass protests across the country

during lockdowns, when people still could not bury loved ones, could not go to funerals, could not have weddings, but you could get together with two thousand of your buddies walk down the street screaming, breaking stuff, yelling and spitting at cops, and people with MD next to their name on Twitter at least or on MSNBC and CNN would say, well, this is good for public health, actually, because you know this is about saving black lives. No, it's not. It's

actually not what the movement's about. I'm not going to allow the continued lies about this and everything. They're seizing a moral high ground that they do not occupy. Okay, they are not coming at this from the moral high ground. It's just not true. They pretend. So that's one great gas lighting, and perhaps I should write a piece the

great gas lighting of twenty twenty. But the other one, the other gas lighting, is that the Red states have done poorly against this, and the Blue states, the major blue states, right the ones where all the worst politicians come from, all the You know that the power of the Democrat Party is situated, that they did a great job, that they were excellent in their handling of this, And

that's not true. I do this show every day and have for every day of the pandemic from the center of New York City, right in the middle of Manhattan, in the middle of New York and this place, and I will never forget. We had, as I've told you, field hospitals set up in our parks, hospitals, I mean Navy hospital ships going past my window. The biggest convention center in New York set up as a massive excess

capacity hospital. Right we were on We were in a state as a city of total panic, and while it never got as bad in the numbers as they projected, which was going to be a total overflow, and it was really bad, twenty five to let's call it, twenty five thousand dead in New York from COVID. That's without getting into dying from COVID versus dying with COVID and the incentive that does exist for hospitals to code things as a COVID death because they get more of a

reimbursement from it. And I'm sure there are people that do that that are coding it a little bit more liberally to include more deaths as under the COVID umbrella, and they feel like they're also doing a service because well, at least now they're raising more awareness about COVID nineteen, right, So I know that's been happening. Governor Cuomo has become more of a household name than ever before. He had his little two man variety show on TV at night

with his brother. Why haven't you quod mom? I'm gonna quot mom first? What do you mean you're a smart one? I'm the dumber. What are you talking about? You're not Fredo? I'm Fredo, right. All this stuff that they were doing while the pandemic was raging in the city, and Cuomo, without missing a beat, doesn't say a word about the protesters other than its lawful protest First Amendment rights important movement. You know, the usual bend the knee, lib pandering to BLM.

A lot of that from him. But the moment that you want to open up a bar or even just serve people out on the street and open air from your bar, none of social distancing. What a poll you look a license? We're gonna pull it from you. Why will you not listen to me? I am the tyrant dictator of New York. Well, he has no problem issuing fines and shutting down businesses. And they've played this is

like Lucy with the football and Charlie Brown. Uh. You know, they tell us, oh no, this time, we promised the metrics, say we can reopen, and then nope, they pull the football away. We don't get to reopen. Haven't reopened for interior dining, having reopened jims, having reopened public gatherings, none of it. Why, well, we had two or three COVID deaths a day on average for the last couple of weeks. And these are these are senior citizens who are dying

of COVID. Right, senior citizens who may also have been at very high are at high risk of dying from flu and dying from other things as well. People die from things. Every day. Two or three people dying from a disease. You would think would not be enough to shut down a state of twenty million people. But here we are. Here we are. And then that brings me to, in some ways the darkest chapter of the whole COVID response,

and that is the the order given. It was It was an order given by Governor Cuomo because he was so swept up in this belief that we were going to have overflowing hospitals. We weren't going to have people were going to be showing up to the hospital and told, oh, you don't have a we have Not only do we not have a ventilator for you, we have no ability to care for you. Now we also know ventilators are an absolute last resort for this virus. They want to

do everything you can before putting on a ventilator. Ventilator is and we should have known this early on. Your chance of coming off a ventilator in the early stages of this of this pandemic. If you went on it were less than fifty percent, that's a terrible treatment model. I mean, that's not something to be you know, that's not successful at all. Oh, you go on a ventilator, you got a fifty fifty chance of living. Make sure

we have enough ventilators for everybody. Know, there were a lot of things they need to figure out before then other steps, pre ventilator steps that might have been helpful. And I know some of your yelling how about preventative hydroxy chloroquine, but there are there are massive incentives in the media and the Democrat Party to suppress the truth about hydroxy chloroquine. We know this. I'm not saying that it works, and I'm not saying that they're even wrong

in thinking it doesn't work. I am pointing out that there are enormous incentives for drug companies and enormous incentives for the Democrat Party in the media to at least delay, delay, a real reckoning over hydroxy chloroquine, not as a last ditch effort to save people in the hospital, but as an early stage intervention, which is exactly what we already have for flu with tamiflu. If you don't take it within the first three days. Doesn't have any effect. Go

ask your doctor. Doesn't have any effect If you take tamiflu when you're already having your lungs fill up with fluid because you're on your body is unable to fight off the influenza infection. Tama flow is not really going to do very much for you. But we're told, oh, no, we've only tried hydroxy chlorically in these trials where it's given to people who are already hostile spital lies, already having severe symptoms, so it doesn't work. Shut up, peasant.

It doesn't work, that's what they say. But let me get back and we understand why a lot of people are. They've also lied. They lied to you, The media lied you about how it was so dangerous. It's not a dangerous drug. That's a lie. Oh it does bad things to your heart. Yeah, tilent all will put a hole in your stomach if you take it. You know that's true.

It can. It doesn't always, but it can create a stomach bleeding, which is basically because it erodes it creates ulceration in you in the lining of your stomach if you take it enough, and you know so on and so forth. But does I mean you're never gonna take a tileent all again, or you know, take it a seat a minute fin or an ibuprofin or no, of course not. They put a warning label on it. Everything

comes with a possible risk. So they lied to you about that, but they've lied to you about something else. And we're just beginning to see this here because I don't think they're gonna be able to hide it much longer.

That often happens the press. The media will suppress a story and then for political reasons, and then when it's no longer possible, then they run out and say, oh, we have the story to break for you, because they want to just beat their competitors, because they know that people are finding out and that someone's going to break the story. So then they'll come out of it, but they will have already sat on it for a long time because they don't want to hurt the narrative. They

don't want to hurt the Democrat narrative. This is from the Associated Press New York's true nursing home death toll Cloaked in secrecy. Riverdale Nursing Home in the Bronx appears on Paper to have escaped the worst of the coronavirus pandemic, with an official state count of just four deaths in its one hundred and forty six bed facility. This is from this Associated Press piece. The truth, according to the home is far worse. Twenty one dead, most transported to

hospitals before they succumbed. It was a cascading effect. Administrator emil fu Fusi recalled one after the other, New York's coronavirus death toll in nursing homes, already among the highest in the nation, could actually be a significant undercount. Unlike every other state with major outbreaks, New York only counts residents who died on nursing home property, and not those who were transported to hospitals and died there. End quote.

My friends, this is a big deal because we know that there were about five thousand people who died in nursing homes from COVID nineteen during the pandemic surge here in New York. But what we're now finding out is that the number could be a lot higher. Here we go. The statistic could add thousands to the state's official care home death toll of just over It's over sixty six hundred.

That's the official number, but so far the administration of Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo has refused to divulge the number, leading to speculation the state is manipulating the figures to make it appeared is doing better than other states, and to make a tragic situation less dire. That's a problem,

bro says State Senator Gustavo Rivera, a Democrat. He told New York Health Commissioner Howard Zucker during a legislative hearing on nursing homes earlier this month, it seems, sir, that in this case, you are choosing to define it differently so that you could look better. Oh you mean they're

cooking the books, folks. Cuomo already has the worst response, the worst response of any governor in the country, in the Democrat super stronghold of New York, worst response on a global scale, perhaps the worst major city to deal with this, and it may be even worse than that. Here's the Associated Press piece. How big a difference could

it make? Its may Federal regulators have required nursing homes to submit data on coronavirus debts each week, whether or not residents died in the facility or at a hospital. Because the requirement came after the height of New York's outbreak,

the available data is relatively small. According to the federal data, roughly a fifth of the state's homes reported resident debts from early June to mid July, a tally of three hundred and twenty three dead, sixty five percent higher than the state's count of one hundred and ninety five during that time period. Even if half that undercount has held truth from the start of the pandemic, that would translate into thousands more nursing home resident debts than the state

has acknowledged. State Health Department survey show twenty one thousand nursing home beds are lying empty this year, which is thirteen thousand more than expected, an increase of almost double the official state nursing home death tally. Is This is an absolute scandal, an absolute scandal, And this wasn't just a thing that happened. Cuomo made the decision. He decided he was in a position. He's taken all this authority. He has the authority to shut down your business on

a whim as long as he wants. He also had the authority to do this and he did. He said, you must take back COVID positive seniors into the nursing home as soon as the hospital is ready to release them. So, if you're a COVID positive senior and you don't have to be on a ventilator, and they're saying that they want to send you home, there's no quarantining really in

a nursing home. Right, You're sending somebody into us, into a facility where they're going to be around other munocompromise people because of their age and often because of comorbid health conditions. This was if you were trying to seed the pandemic in a way that there was a maximum fatality level. This was a good policy if you were trying to make this as fatal a disease as possible for your state. As a governor, Cuomo came up with

an ingenious plan. How could how could anybody have? Oh it's because he was so convinced the hospitals were going to be overrun. He was wrong, and so he made a really bad decision. Now, I don't think that Cuomo wanted this to happen. I'm not saying he's a you know, a mass murderer. I'm not saying that he's They'll say that about Trump, of course, but I'm not saying no.

But he's an incompetent, he's a moron. When when the when the chips were all down, when when all of a sudden it was really important who the governor of New York was. This guy failed miserably and was way too busy worrying about the optics and doing the press conference, and people were talking about how he could run for president as a Democrat. Remember that there were Cuomo There were people calling himselves Cuomo sexuals because he was so

appealing in his press conferences. He was going on CNN with his joke brother at night. People were dying. And now they have the goal to lecture others. That to lecture other people, other states, other governors. Cuomo acts like, oh, it's just a big mask wearing campaign. Would have saved us all, you know, would have saved a few thousand, maybe thousands and thousands more than that senior citizen lives in New York. Not having Andrew Cuomo as the governor

of New York. That would have saved thousands and thousands of lives. Instead of panicking about the lack of ventilators that we didn't need. Instead of panicking all the people of New York, we could have had somebody like oh, I don't know, Governor Ron de Santis of Florida, who looked at the data and looked at what was happening and made sound decisions, not based upon control, fear and the politics of the left. You're in the freedom und This is the Buck Sex and Show podcast. An unnerving

moment yesterday. I was watching it in real time as it happened. President Trump was giving a press conference and there was a moment where a Secret Service agent came out during the press conference in the West Wig and he says, miss President needs to come with me. And there were reports early reports of gunfire outside of the White House, and there was a moment where people were understandably very concerned. And then President Trump came back finished

at the press conference. But I thought this was this was one of his one of his truly Trumpian moments where he was asked if well, I'll let you hear the exchange play clip one. Do I see him rattled? It's unfortunate that this is a world, but the world's always been a dangerous place, but it's not something that's unique. The world has been. You look back over the centuries, the world has been a dangerous place, very dangerous place, and it will continue, I guess for a period of time.

Differently about your personal safety inside the White House, No, I feel very safe with the Secret Service. They're fantastic people. They're the best of the best, and they're highly trained. I don't know if anybody got to walk outside, but there were a lot of terrific looking people ready to go if something was necessary. Does this make you scared, sir? Can you just say for the record that you're really scared and that you're a whim because that'll be a

great sound bite for us. Can you just tell us that a Trump's like you min? What do I see him? Ronald? Come on, come on. That's that's one of those that's one of those moments though, where you were just you know, American politics has gotten so heated right now that we I hope we get through this whole election cycle without a politically motivated tragedy on all sides against any side. I really do. I'm you know, last time I told you that that there was that I had a bad

feeling about something. It was in roughly November that something bad was gonna You remember this, I played if You're in the show right before we went into the pandemic. I'm like, guys, it's been great. Something bad's gonna happen were I don't think it's going to involve President Trump, and God bless him and keep him safe. But I worry that there's gonna be some act of political violence before this election that's going to really combust everything. Thanks

for listening to the past. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the iHeart Radio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. Election meddling. We're gonna be talking a lot about this. You know what, the the real, the real definition of election meddling is for Democrats, we lost. We lost. If they lose, there's meddling. If they win, what meddling? Come on, what meddling? I like the Trump goes on offense on this point, doesn't play the usual Republican game of no,

no please. I'm a good person, I'm in I'm acting in good faith. Don't think that I'm one of the bad guys. I prefer the Trump approach, which is to say, come on, well, you know what what is you know you know who's really meddling. You're meddling play cloop two. Well, I'm just saying the way the politicians look. The other day they said the three countries, They said China, then Russia and Iran, and some reporter got up and said, Russia is meddling. I said, well, didn't it mention China

and Iran? Why didn't you mention them too? So so I don't know. You know what I'm telling you. I'll tell you who's meddling in our elections. The Democrats are meddling by wanting and insisting on sending mail in ballots, with this corruption all over the place. If you check what happened to New York, a small, relatively small race with Carolyn Maloney, and they called her the winner the other day because I was mentioning it at conferences and getting a lot of action on that statement, so they

called her. They declared her the winner, and they have no idea who won, and the person her opponent is very angry. But they had mail in voting, and they had hundreds and I think even thousands of ballots set are missing that were fraudulent. Take a look at the Carol and Maloney race. Take a look at Patterson, New Jersey. Take a look now at this one in Virginia where they mailed out five hundred thousand applications and they go into people that aren't supposed to be getting an application.

Democrat are the ones that want to play games at the election. You know, they just had a CDC study that came out. Remember the CDC supposed to listen to the CDC all the time, not to listen to the CDC, not not allowed to ask any questions if you listen to Democrats, and not allow to ask any questions about the CDC. Just had a study come out, No increase in cases resulting from the No increasing cases resulting in from the voting in Wisconsin. So people were able to vote.

They didn't get all You don't you know why that happened because they were outside. They kept a little bit of a distance from each other. They probably were wearing masks two whatever, for whatever that's worth. And it was fine. It was fine. We've seen the data is very clear. Long close indoors exposure is the primary way this gets transmitted. Long close indoor exposure. So all you have to do with voting is have people stagger in line stagger going in,

no problem, no problem, Well what are Democrats even talking about? Oh, we can't we get No. They just want they just want to find a way to change the rules to suit their needs and to set up a narrative in advance of the actual asking of votes, so that anybody who's anybody who wants to if the Democrats lose afterwards, will be in a position to say, you know what, Yeah, the Republicans cheated because we lost because we didn't have enough or we had too much mail in voting, which

it doesn't matter. Whichever way they need to go, they'll go. But election meddling has become a talking point you'll hear from Democrats. This is hedging, it's hedging. It also goes to this this anxiety that the Libs still have because they believe that Russia gave Trump the last election. They still cling to that fiction. That fantasy is something that

they have not yet given up on. They still believe that, and so they're they're very on edge about the possibility, about the prospect of that happening again, very on edge, right,

They're like, oh my gosh, there's gonna be election interference. Election. Well, okay, what about election interference from China, from Iran, from and what constitutes enough election interference that the election should be considered or you know, call them into doubt in some way, You know what, what's the rule on that how much?

How much interference is enough that we have to be Because in the last election it was what Russian spending one hundred thousand dollars on Facebook ads, which is a drop in the bucket a Facebook ad spending, Is that that what we're supposed to believe was enough to do well? There are libs who still believe. Remember when CNN would go and harass private citizens because they were a part of a Facebook group that was they say, organized by

Russian trolls or something. They'd show up the people. You know, oh, do you realize that the Russians were convincing you of who to vote for? There were the whole fake news phenomenon started. The idea of fake news was Lib Democrat media going around saying that the only reason people wanted to vote for Trump was because they believe these Russian

disinformation articles online because they were believing fake news. That's how the fake they started fake news, and then Trump in his Trumpian Jiu jitsu way flip them around flat on their backs, and was like, actually, your fake news because you're propaganda organs. The LIB media is a bunch of propaganda organs pretending to be news organizations. But you know who is weighing in now on election interference, which

tells you a lot about what we should expect. Here Hillary, I'm not really as good at the Hillary voice anymore. It's gotten hard to do it. But here she is telling you all, she's oh, oh, I just want to say this. Do we think that she's ready to be VP? If Biden were to just happen to call upon her, I mean, you know, she could maybe find some time in her schedule. I don't think he will do it. I don't believe it's going to happen, but I think

Hillary thinks that it's still Could I really do? I think that she is so there is a hole in her soul that will only be filled by being president, and she knows now the only way she could ever become president is to be a pointed vice president. It would be quite a move. It would certainly shake things up. Could you imagine if I think the VP pick is and we're going to talk about that in a minute. I think it's getting all this attention and that people.

Ultimately I don't really care all that much, but it's certainly certainly could be if it were Hillary. I know, I just wanted to hello. I want her to come back and be in the mix again, just because it's so much fun for me as a commentator. Play clip twenty one though. Here she is on election interference. I hope the press covers the vulnerabilities of our election systems to interference, something that we now know more about than

we did right after twenty sixteen. I hope that even Republicans will find their patriotism their conscience, try to force some of the pacified information into the public arena so that people have a better idea about what's going on. And of course, the Biden campaign and all of the allies it has have to be as vigorous as possible in refuting and rebutting all of the disinformation and flat out wise that we can expect the Russians to be

part of ramping up. She's still fixated on this. The Democrats are still very deeply rooted in this delusion that Russians are able to control American political discourse on Facebook is this is sheer madness. This would be like me investing one hundred dollars in the stock market and then claiming that I'm like, I'm making markets happen, and I'm I'm shifting the stock price. I'm involved, But it's irrelevant.

It's irrelevant. It is an unserious position that Russian propaganda on Facebook against the Democrats or against Hillary is shifting the election one way or the other. Un serious. And it's kind of the way that I also think about when people complain about reps in a very close game, there are some who will say, you know, look, if you were if you were good enough to beat the team without having it, without having it come down to one call, you would have won, right, you know. I

mean this is now. I'm not saying that that excuses election interference, but I'm just saying, if it's really that narrow that it's gonna be ten people that read something on Facebook, maybe you shouldn't have been president, you know, maybe it didn't deserve to win that one. I don't know what to tell you, but Hillary will never ever give this one up because it's essential. It is essential to the Democrat mythology. About why Donald Trump became president

in the first place. And then there's just the really deeply stupid stuff that will be said about all of this. And if you're looking for commentary under the guise of news that is shockingly dumb, you can't do a whole lot better than CNN. We all have news anchors. Im Jim Acostas perhaps the best example of this, but news anchors will come out and say things. You say, Wow, have you ever read a book from start to finish?

I mean ever? But no, No, I'm up there and I've got a lot of hairsprayed, I'm very I've got a serious sounding voice, and I've got a microphone in my hand, and people should listen to me. Sure, sure they should. Yeah, my Coosto and all these other all these other jokers too. It's amazing. It's amazing that people

still believe this stuff. A lot of the dumbest people I know are in the news media, I'm just gonna tell you, and I know them morons, But people still say, oh, they turn it on, Oh they must be smart, they must be smart. One of the reasons I love radio so much is that this is too hard for ninety percent of the people in journalism to do maybe ninety five percent. They just can't. They could never carrying a three hour show, never mind five hours with what I do.

Carrying a three hour show every day, unscripted, without someone feeding everything into your ear, without reading off of a prompter, where it's just you, your thoughts, your knowledge, your presentation, no chance they could ever do it. A lot of people can put on a suit, look pretty and say hello, I'm here and I'm reading off of a prompter. As you can tell, I have no respected off for CNN.

But here's CNN's Jeremy Diamond doing a little bit of analysis on the possibility of Trump giving a speech for the acceptance of the Republican nomination at a place that Jeremy Diamond has some thoughts on the significance of play three and Pam. We've reported that President Trump is considering delivering his GOP nomination acceptance speech from the White House, but amid some criticism of that potential venue, the President is now floating another one. This time he's talking about

the hallowed Civil War battlefield in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. But that could be controversial too, particularly because this is a president who has consistently positioned himself as a defender of confeder its symbols and monuments to Confederate generals Pam. Yeah, that's a fair point to make. Yeah, that's a fair All, Yeah, that's a fair No, it's not you morons. Do you know what happened at the Battle of Gettysburg. I just you know, just somebody, I'm just anybody, anybody want to

you know who? Unbelievable This should be like saying, oh, he's commemorating the successful landing and on D Day, clearly a Nazi sympathizer. No, no, we won that one Gettysburg. As you all know. I don't have to get into it, right, I mean, the Union turned back the Confederacy was a turning tide, turning the tide of the war. And so if you give a speech at Gettysburg, the hollow ground of Gettysburg, that's a problem because you because of your

support for the Confederacy. That's a that's a really strange way to celebrate support for the Confederacy. But there's there's no limit to the stupid at CNN. It doesn't matter because it was anti Trump, it was all. There are questions about this. You know he likes the Confederacy, and he's a bad guy, and he's a white nationalist. Whatever you have to say, they just say, it doesn't matter if it's true or not. They have an agenda, my friends, and as long as they stick to that agenda, the

Libs will always back them up. And they know it. You're in the freedom hud. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Any day now, any day now, there's gonna be a Biden VP pick. That's what we're called. Who get excited a Biden VP pick. Representative Maxine Waters waited on this one. Here's what she says, Play eight. I don't know exactly whom it's going to be. I know whom I would prefer, but I don't think that whom I would prefer has anything to do with who he's

going to select. But obviously, as they have gone through all of the women, black, white, Asian, what have you, it seems to me they have gotten down to possibly just two, and that is Kamala and that is Susan, and so I believe that it will be one of them. I do have a preference. I'm not going to say who it is at this point, but I think my preference is going to be the one that will be selected.

I gotta say the first time, I think in a long time, we've played a Maxium Waters clip where I don't have any problem with anything that she said, right, I think, I think I think she's right. I think that Kamala Harris and Susan Rice are the last two in the race here. And I think that I've told you on air, I've been making the prediction all along. There's a fun prediction because of the I'm wrong. Nobody

cares if I'm right. I get to pat myself on the back, which none of you will care about either, because we had that kind of relationship team where you know, I when I do a victory dance, st't wory. Producer Mark tells me afterwards that my head's getting big and I can't fit through the door. And I know you all like, come on, Buck, we don't come to you

for your predictions anyway. But although my prediction about the pandemic, not that I said it was a pandemic, but that's something bad was going to happen, was that was a little weird. That was a little Eriie. I'm just gonna say it, but I think it is going to be Kamala Harris for a number of reasons. Other people I know who are very smart and very sound thinkers on issues of politics say that it might be Susan Rice because she well, she was part of the Obama foreign

policy team in many ways the architect of it. Rice and Samantha Power. And Samantha Power was a disaster. So it was Susan Rice. Obama's foreign policy was one of the weakest, and there was a lot to criticize for the eight years of Obama, but his foreign policy was among the weakest least defensible parts of his presidency. Senator Tom Cotton points out what it would mean to have a Susan Rice as a VP play for well, I am Susan Rice was the typhoid Mary of the Obama

administration foreign policy. Every major debacle in President Obama's tenure. Susan Rice was right in the middle of a look at China. She consistently counseled appeasement towards China. She commanded that our military leaders in the Pacific not raised China's efforts to militarize the South China Sea and create bases out of rocks in the water to extend the range of their planes and their missiles. She would right in

the middle of the Iran nuclear deal. She counseled appeasement of Russia going into the twenty sixteen election, and then after the election, she was at the center of spying on the Trump campaign an unmasking American citizens who'd been caught up in that drag bad. You know, most nominees faced the jury of the American people, Susan Rice would be the first one to potentially face a grand jury

as well. Now, I've got to tell you, in a sense, it would be perfect if Susan Rice teamed up with Biden here as a VP, because they both have incredibly consistent foreign policy records of being wrong all the time and of their ideas leading to disastrous outcomes. So in that way they're highly compatible. But I do, I do just believe that the think I think the media wants,

they want their person. And they loved Kamala Harris. I mean, they loved Bacho as well, and because like he was just like such a an empty headed fraud that like it was hilarious to get to talk about him. But Kamala is I think still going to be the one, and then people start to ask the question, well, what's the point of what's the point exactly of voting for voting for Biden if you're really gonna get get Kamala And we didn't want Kamala when we could have voted

for Kamala. So what's really going on here? Democrats? We'll figure that out. Thanks for listening to The Bus and Show podcast.

Our buddy from National Review, David Harsani, is in the mix. Check out his latest at National review dot com. Also follow him on Twitter at David Harsanyi. What's up, David? How much

haw's it going? It's all right, man. You look tanned, ready and rested, So let's let's jump right into it. I know you're writing this week about the Cuomo nursing home disaster in New York. This to me seems like one of those stories that they've suppressed it as long as they can, but now they've got a couple of AP writers who are like, look, guys, someone's you know, someone's gonna just break the narrative here because it's too it's too big of a story for them to hold

off like this. So what do you think about what's happened here where it's taken months to figure out that not only did Cuomo give a disastrous order that might have led to thousands dying, but it might actually be a lot more than that, right, I mean, I think as far as the media coverage goes, you have probably I don't know it's perfect, but you're probably have hungry reporters and see pretty see story right here. I know the AP had asked for public records a few months

ago and they haven't gotten them yet. And you know, it's it's it's a story about a lot of deaths. You know. First I was writing and it was reported that the deaths were around four thousand, and then we learned, you know, according to New York state numbers, that it was six thousand. And now the AP finds out that that those were just deaths reported of people who you know, died in the nursing home, not being transported to hospitals or elsewhere. So the number could be eleven thousand, it

could even be higher. That's that's that should be a national story. But instead, of course we've had, and we've spoken about this before, the gas lighting that's going on to try to pretend that Almo did a good job and he's opening the schools because hey, you know, he did it the right way. We're talking about thirty five thousand dead in New York and it's been a huge disaster. And that's not even counting New York and Connecticut. A lot of those deaths obviously were imported from New York.

So just a huge story. And to me, I see, I sit here, and how can anyone believe that we have an aggressive and honest press corps when there is very there's very obviously a real effort underway to make it seem like Cuomo isn't I mean, he goes out there lecture. I mean, there should be disdain for Cuomo lecturing other governors. There should be outrage and him acting like he knows he has the secret sauce here, he

knew how to take care of this thing. It would have if Governor Cuomo had been you know, captured by Martians for the entirety of the pandemic and had no decision making authority whatsoever, more people would be alive. But the press doesn't seem to want that narrative to get out. They'd rather pretend that the Red States didn't mask enough. Yeah. I mean, because he's a Democrat, we all know that. And you're right about that Martian theory, because we're not

talking about just incompetence here. We're talking about someone who signed an executive order proactively went and pushed people back into hospitals where they died, so that that is the real scandal. I mean, there's only so much we can do about pandemics, at least that's my view of it. I mean, we can do certain things, but there's only so much. But he actually proactively did something that killed people.

I'm sorry to even laugh at that. I mean, it's just so absurd that it's not covered, that people aren't angry about it. That the lecture that Paul Krugman I mentioned him every time here because this is one of his big one of his big lives, is that Florida has messed up, that Texas has messed up, you know, not California, not Colorado, definitely not New York, where he literally wrote we should be following other states should be following Como's example, Well that you know that would be

disastrous for the country. You have a million dead if if every state did that. Talking to David Harsani of National Review, So, David, any day now we're supposed to get a VP pick for Biden. I always feel like VP picks are are a little bit inflated in the mind, particularly in the mind of the press. It's August, we need something to talk about. Everyone's kind of like whoa VP pick? There is a real argument this time around, especially because Biden has at least said he's only gonna

be a one termer. And I mean with the cognitive decline thing, I don't think it's a crazy conspiracy theory that if Biden wins two years into the presidency before the midterms, he may pass the torch on. I mean, I can't say that. I don't know if that'll happen, but that doesn't strike me as crazy. In fact, in a lot of ways, it's the best thing that Biden can do to preserve his legacy and become a kind of revered democrat for the ages and for his family

and going forward. Do you have much of it? Do you think there's much of a difference based on who the VP picks may be. I mean, is this a momentous decision for the future of the country if Biden were to win, or is it kind of all the

same thing? Now? It's a big decision. And why we shouldn't pretend that Biden won't be what seventy eight thirty nine years old when he's president, And we shouldn't pretend that there's not something you know, that he hasn't slowed down and that he you know, doesn't say things that the show positive to pine. I mean, David, I speak for five hours a day on radio and I've never you know, started muttering about where all the way, the people and the thing. And I guess guy does this

all the time. Yeah, I mean that's it. I mean,

we can't pretend that that's not happening. And you know, when when if Donald Trump accidentally says World War one two instead of World War one, and everyone makes a big deal out of it, it's very different than what we're seeing by you where he loses track of what he's talking about, where he's just aimlessly you know, but it just gibberish starts coming out, and not in the way that maybe I or you sometimes have gibbersh coming out, but in a in a way that we know that

our very old uncle or grandparents might have spoken at one point. But whatever the case is, that that VP pick is important. There's a chance that that VP pick will be president, a good, a decent chance, and they're going to be someone like Susan Rice who has literally no experience really running anything, and who has a you know whatever, terrible history, at least from from my point of view. Or it matters. And if we have Kamala Harris,

who's you know, who's basically an authoritarian, it matters. Can you dig into it matters more than usual? Can you dig into why Kamala scares you as as as a possible president? I said, well, what is the what is the case against Kamala as you see it? I mean, you know, I know we could talk about this a lot, but give us the the Harsani version. But for me, she's possibly the worst candidate other than maybe Bernie was, uh, you know. She as a libertarian ish type person. Her

view of the police state is concerning to me. To begin with her view that you can use force to implement policies, and I you know is very concerning um the way that she views the use of government, and also the way she'd use the Constitution as an impediment

to doing whatever she wants. She you know, everyone goes bananas over the supposed authoritarianism we're seeing from Donald Trump, but she's been during the debates and on Twitter and elsewhere, she many times simply stated that as president she would do things that she did not have the power to do. I don't remember them all right now, but you know she's done it numerous times. Her entire outlook about what how miracle works for me is incredibly problematic, worse than

Joe Biden. So, I mean, you know, basically, I think she's an authoritarian. I don't say that flippantly, and I don't say that as sort of throwaway insult. I mean it. I think she's an authoritarian. Do you think there's any real shot that Elizabeth Warren is kind of able to just slip in there at the last moment because people still talk about her. I think she raised more money for buying than any of the other any of the

other surrogates. You know, she's media loves her. She's female, not a minority, as we've we've had to find out over many years not a minority, but she's female. Well here's I mean, I think it would it would matter if if it's not an African American woman. I think that Biden would take a hit there, right, But if polls are showing that Elizabeth Warren is, you know, the candidate he needs, he might do it. And in some

weird way, obviously I dislike her tremendously as well. She might be the most confident of the people that he's thinking about as far as being a VP, so he might he might go for it. I mean, I don't know what he's thinking, but it definitely matters that she's not a minority. I think that, you know, especially because most of the focus has been on minority candidates. For

that not to happen, I think we've hurt him. Joe Joe Biden ran for president in nineteen eighty eight, and it was it floundered right away, you know, lied about his record, led about marching with the civil rights movement, plagiarized the speech. I mean, there was all this stuff that you know that was nineteen eighty eight. I mean, the walkman was cool back then, right, I Mean, this is the Soviet Union still existed and Biden was running

for president. He tries again in what two thousand and six, two thousand and seven, and and I think he even tried in the interim too, But I'm just trying to jump, you know, trying to give us the short and abbreviated version. He tries again in two thousand and six, two thousand and seven, and he's never able to get more than one percent of the Democrat primary vote. He was like shoulder to shoulder in the polls with Dennis Kucinich, who

wanted to start a Department of Peace to offset the Pentagon. Okay, that's who Joe Biden was as a politician. And now we're like, I just speaking about gaslighting David. It's like Democrats even though this guy is a loser, but now we're supposed to forget that. They've known he's a loser all this time. It's amazing to me. I want to preface the same by saying I think he can win the presidency. I think, yes, yes, Trump and I think he can win. But the bottom line is he's been

a terrible politician his whole career. I mean, he won postwater Gate by accident a little bit complicated, but he won in Delaware, which is, you know, like winning a congressional seat at the time. And he basically has tripped, you know, has has been a bad politician since rand in eighty seven. As you mentioned, it was just a

complete disaster, embarrassing, and he's embarrassed himself numerous times. But he's continually treated like, you know, like he's a real man of the people, takes his amtrak home, you know, and etc. So, but he's never been popular. He's only popular with the press. He's never been popular with people. It was Barack Obama resurrected him only because he was this sort of lightweight moderate that he could, you know,

enough to worry about. Basically, Busha changed what the VP was about was no longer about the person next in line. It was something else, and I think Obama followed that as well, and in his own way. But he has never been a good politician, and the idea that he is what we need now is crazy. The only reason he wont is because we had a socialist running that Democrats knew couldn't win in a bunch of other lightweight candidates. So if he wins, he'll he'll be an accident of history.

At least that's how I view it. I mean, it's not Trump. You can hate him or not. He brought a new populist populism back to the United States. It was something that's time had come. Maybe he wasn't the best vessel for it. I obviously just ruth many of those populous ideas, but I think that it meant something. What is Joe Biden's candidacy about nothing? It's just about not being Trump. There's really nothing else to it. David Arson,

everybody this too. He constantly tells us that his long record is the reason he should be elected, but he does not hold any position that he held even ten years ago anymore. So his record, we're not even allowed to talk about it anymore. Well, that's that to me.

How was you gonna say, David? That to me is why he is the quintessential politician, and that he is the guy who it's like, you know, a low level staffer shows up with, Hey, this is the position that's popular right now, and he's like, oh, I said something else a month ago, but let's do this. And he's been doing that for forty years. It's even worse than that in a way. But yeah, I mean, you're right.

But if you take all his major accomplishments, meaning bills that had his name that he wrote, there's something called the Biden Amendment that still exists. It's an anti abortion, you know, part of a bill, you know, foreign policy. But if you take the crime bill, if you take his busting positions, if you take his high Amendment vote and another and I've listed it elsewhere, but another thirty

pro abortion vote, his accomplishment. He cannot point if someone I wish someone would ask him, can you point to an accomplishment a bill that you still support that you've voted for over the last thirty years. I don't know that he'd be able to name one. So it seems unlikely to me that there's going to be a lot of excitement voting from now again. There might be a lot of anger at Trump, you know, that pushes people out to vote. But I just don't think anyone's really

a huge Joe Biden fan. I've never met that person in my life that I'm waiting for that too. There are Hillary super fans, I've met them, know them. There are clearly, I mean superfans are basically just called Democrats, right, So, I mean the Democrats have had people who have and even Bernie, I've never met a person in my life who is like Joe Biden is the guy we need. Never It's never happened. No, I mean, you know you have. With Bernie, you have there's an ideological reason people like

that and want it. Right With Hillary the first woman, you know, everyone believes, you know, she should have been president, et cetera. And you can go down the line. But with Biden, if you ask people why, you know, why you're voting for Biden, finance looks like I guess he'll do, right. I mean, he's the guy, he's the most moderate guy you can win and we need to be Trump and that's what it's about. Now. That might work for an election, but honestly, I think it will be a disaster for Democrats.

On the other side of this thing. I mean, they always talk about how Trump's a disaster long term for Republicans, I think the Biden thing's going to be a disaster because you're going to have a big split in that party I think between progressives and sort of more to call thith but sort of the other wing of the party. Harsani on fire. Everybody. Check out David Harsani's latest over National review dot com. Follow him on the social media stuff. David,

thanks so much for making the time. Man. Good to have you back anytime. Thanks for having me Man, You're in the freedom. Hey, this is the Buck Sex and Show podcast. If we win the election, we'll have deals with a lot of countries very fast. They're just waiting to see who wins because they are hoping. They are hoping that Joe Biden wins. Sleep Echo, and if he wins, you know what's going to happen. China will own us. Our markets will crash, the four oh one case will

go down to practically nothing. Stocks will go down to practically nothing. Remember stocks, these big companies, they're owned by millions of people that are carpenters and policemen and farmers and lots of other people, and they are the ones that benefit by having a good stock market, probably more than anybody else. But the four oh one case, the stocks, the economy will be in a shambles. They want to raise taxes, they want to triple taxes, they want to

raise the quopiate tax, but they want to raise all taxes. Ultimately, they can't pay for what they want to do anyway. And what they're going to do is destroy your healthcare and destroy so many other things. We're gonna have a one hundred and eighty million people that are so happy with their private healthcare they're gonna lose it under this crazy plan that these people are proposing. I think that

everything Trump says there is true in general. Maybe a little exaggerated, but I think it's it's you know, it's exaggerated, but it's true in general. And that's something we should all be reminded of. When I'm talking about, you know, the stock market. I don't think your four o one K is gonna go to zero of bonding gets elected. That's that's this is classic Trump salesman talk, right, But they are going to go down. It's a stock market. Remember when Trump won the election, it's oh my gosh,

it's plummeting, and actually market ended up shooting up. Right, That'll actually happen if Biden wins. Stocks go down Biden wins. We got big, big problems with that, big problems with that. That's what I see. So I really believe, I really believe that the president of the United States getting reelected is going to be of enormous benefit. But you know, to all of us, even to the people who hate him. But the the Democrat point of view, if Biden is a nice man, vote for Oh you got you gottap.

You know who's coming, Elizabeth Warren. If Biden is a man of empathy, a man of empathy, I tell you play nine. But during this pandemic, Donald Trump is a man who cares only about himself. He's a man who watches his poll numbers and how he looks on camera, and you know, everything measured through the lens of how it affects Donald Trump. Joe Biden is a man of genuine empathy, a man who up in a family that had its ups and downs, and you know, lived in a family when his dad lost her job and they

lost their home. He understands what's happening to human beings in this country at a human level. And of all the things we need in a leader, Yeah, we need somebody who's competent and who's smart, and who will bring good people in, but we need someone has a basic empathy for other human beings and squam in this fight for Joe Biden. Just vote for Biden because even though he's a he's a senor, a little fool, he's he's an empathy guy. Yeah, he believes in and oh he feels.

He feels your paymember that Joe Biden, Joe Biden, everybody, he feels your pain. As long as they're ladies nearby, he wants to. He wants to feel the ladies too. Maybe sniff him.

handling a crisis of this scale. None of those agencies have any experience dealing with managing a crisis of this skill, a hard lesson learned by President Trump his staff, and a severe impact of the overall state of mind of the country. Whoever advised President Trump it was a good idea to put a bunch of technocrats in charge of

this crisis should be fired. Had President Trump followed procedures and implemented the National Emergency Action Plan as it was designed, the first person he should have contacted is the director of FEMA. The only way to break this cycle of intermittent panic, get this country back to reality and salvage our economy is for the President to declare a nation the national emergency is over. Let Fauci and friends continue their bean counting until they're satisfied they have enough data,

or until the public stopped listening to them. Shields High Thomas, very compelling, very compelling analysis from you on this. Thank you so much for reaching out to us with it. And yeah, I think that there have been lessons learned about NAH and NIH and CDC and these other organizations and their role in all of this, and how their

role was far too prominent. Michael Riot, shield Tie mayor Lightfoot is again threatening to shut down beaches and parks because of COVID, yet refuses to put a stop to other people having their fun and forbid under penalty of incarceration, put an end to the peaceful demonstration that most would call rioting. Same with New York, Michael. I know there's a huge double standard in the way that these Democrat politicians approach enforcement in the COVID pandemic era against things

they don't like and things they do like. And as we know, Democrats like b LM, Democrats like the protests, and so there's a very there's a very different tone, very different action taken all of that, and that's not going to change anytime soon because there's no accountability other than the ballot box for politicians that act out and

act poorly. So that's what we see happening. That's that's the reality situation by the producer, Mark, Since you did such an excellent job yesterday of explaining the situation of a football to all of us, what is the situation

right now? Has anything any updates on this? No, I don't believe there's been any updates as of yesterday's show, because I was seeing some people say that the Big Ten just because the Big Ten is shutting down doesn't mean all the other leagues will now or all the other conferences, right, I mean it definitely doesn't mean that. But I mean if one shuts down, you kind of think there's gonna be a domino effect, but you never

really know. Okay, And there's always the point of is it the same if the Big ten's not there and you have four other conferences playing well, you don't have the competition for the big tens? So what's the point? Yes? Fair, fair, fair point? Are you watching? Are you watching Fear City? Yet? I am not. There's hockey on. It's the middle of the playoffs. Come on, who's would tell us about the hockey? The situation? Who doing well? The best thing ever happened

last night? Have you ever heard of a draft lottery? Do you understand that concept? Yeah? Of course? So I'm not a savage, all right, I don't know what I

don't know what you know. But basically, the worst teams going for people who may not know go they get put in a bunch of pink bong balls with their logos on it, and they pick out the teams in the order U The Rangers ended up winning that last night after losing in the qualifying round, so they will get to draft Alexis Lafonier, who is the new phenom. That's great for me personally, but in the playoffs, the regular playoffs are starting tonight, exciting Alexis, Yes, but he's

gonna be a great player for the Rangers. I I didn't know the French even did ice hockey. I thought only either only the Quash. Those kind of folks did ice hockey. A lot of countries around the world play I hockey, Huh, I was, I was unaware of it. But the Rangers best player decade has been Swedish Henrik Lundquist. I was unaware of that. All right, cool, Um, let's see here we have Josh Buck. Producer Mark is fake news. Uh, doctor bottom. The Big Ten is a much better conference

than the SEC. The SEC has Alabama at LSU. They don't have the firepower of Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Minnesota. Usually producer Mark is spot on, but he's dead wrong on this. Producer Mark, I gave you the floor. You know, I saw this email, so I'm prepared for it. I looked it up. Since the college football Playoff was instituted,

the most appearances and most wins since twenty fourteen. Fifteen season is the SEC and the Big Ten has won one championship and has only had two team make it and they have a two and three record in four appearances. So you're just going with the data. Yeah, I got so shut up, That's what I'm gonna say. There we go, There we go, Josh. We appreciate your fire, my friend. Don't let the producer Mark bull you around right and again and tell him he's wrong on something else. Don't

let him get away with that nonsense. Nick hey Buck, I'm a mechanic for the USPS and can attest to the fact that the mail in voting would be a complete disaster. The amount of mail that gets destroyed by mail sorting machines on a daily basis is unbelievable. USPS claims that it's less than one percent of total volume, but even one percent might be enough to affect an election. Add to that, missorts and mishandling and balance will be

showing up weeks after the election. In addition to the mechanical and logistical nightmare, added to it is that all mail processing functions are now computer based and susceptible to outside interference. This is a disaster waiting to happen, and the President has to stop this if possible. PS. Love the show. Keep up the good work well, Nick. Thank you, and your points on the reality of US postal service. I think are very compelling, and I'd have to say

I find them to be persuasive. And I think that mail in balloting across the board would be a very bad thing, and that's why the President's so opposed to it. So I'm with you on all that, my friend. I'm absolutely with you. Paul. Catching up on podcasts and her are your discussion about Biden's statement on undocumented workers who pay taxes being eligible for Medicare for none. How can one be an undocumented worker and pay taxes? If you pay taxes other than sales tax, you need a social

Security number. If you have a legitimate social Security number, you're not undocumented. If you have a fall social Security number, you're a criminal, regardless of your immigration status. PS. Keep up the good work. Buck. Not quite Oss, but I did start following you when you had your TV show on the Blaze. He asked, producer Mark is doing a great job. Look at that, producer, Mark, you get a little high five. Good not everyone hates me? Oh please?

Do you got Producer Mark fans? We gotta make the Producer Mark. What's gonna go on the Producer Mark T shirt? Though? When we start selling T shirts, maybe something I say about you? Okay, well, I think you gotta give it some thought though, you know what I mean? All right, I haven't thought about it yet. I don't know we were gonna have Producer Mark T shirts. Producer Mark, don't step into my penalty box, you know, something like that.

I gotta figure. Yeah, maybe it'll just say the penalty box with Producer Mark, the penalty box with Producer Mark. There we go with like a hockey stick logo and it or some short or maybe we'll design a penalty box but you win it. Wait even better? Is there so the penalty box? Oh no, when you go yeah, when you go into the penalty box, Yeah, it's separate from where Is that the same as the bench you

normally sit on? Is there actually a box? So there's a bench where all the players sit, you know, when they're whatnot, and right across from it, on the other side of the ice, they there's two literal boxes with a door that opens and when you get called up for a penalty, you go into the box. How long are you usually the box for most penalties are two minutes of game time and then you lose a player on the ice, So it's like a short term red

card from soccer. Basically yes, yeah, like, but it's a two minute red card, and it's called a power play for the other team. But you can get expect you can't get kicked out of the game entirely if you oh yeah, and then that's a ten minute misconduct where usually there's no loss of manpower, but you're you're out of a game. You have you don't know, you don't go to the box, you don't have to sit there for the rest of the game. You showed a lot

for them. What will usually get you a ten minute misconduct? Um you have kind of stuff. You would have to spear somebody with your stick, like use it as a weapon, which has happened before at aggressive fighting. So a regular fight is just five minutes, no loss of manpower, but something that crosses the line would do that. Just anything crosses the line basically will do that. A big hit into the boards with your elbow into somebody's heads something

like that would do it. So playing real dirty, we'll get you, yes, exact. Okay, those hockey reps must be really good skaters. I just thought about that. Oh, they're fantastic. They go into many major training camps and whatnot, and they're well conditioned. They have to skate for sixty minutes straight, basically have to be in good shape. Interesting, Paul, Oh no, Paul,

Sorry about about your point on undocumented workers. Yes, they're usually Democrats where you should pay this game of saying undocumented workers, also known as the legal aliens, pay taxes. But what they mean by that, what they're really saying with that is that they pay sales tax and that so when they buy stuff, when they go buy a six pack of beer or a loaf of bread or whatever,

they're paying taxes and not getting the benefit of it. Now, that's not really true, because they're living in that state, and in being in that state, you're getting the benefit of fire and police and road clearing and all that stuff. Right, so you are getting benefit on the federal level, which is what you're referring to. Yeah, to pay federal taxies, you'd have to be using if you are an illegal alien a stolen Social Security number, which is an additional

crime to illegal status. One of the big parts of the illegal immigration debate that gets glossed over by the media is that there are many crimes that are routinely committed by legal aliens in excess of the illegal status. Right, So being in the country when you're not supposed to, that's a crime. But then there's document fraud and forgery, and you know, all kinds of stuff, you know, different kinds of you you know, using a false Social Security card.

These are all things that you add on top and there's even more criminality that comes from it. And I'll just tell you this. You know, if you if you forward signatures and you did bad stuff when you were applying for a home, let's say, and you know you cheated on your mortgage paperwork, you could be in a lot of trouble. But for illegals, cheating is what they are.

That what they have to do. The Libs will say, because they have no choice because we haven't given them an mistake, which is of course flipping around the whole issue, because they don't have to do any of these things. They don't have to be in the country illegally right, but not much of a not much of a support for that among Democrats. That is for sure. You're in the freedom hunt. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Remember if you want to call in, oh I'm gonna

be out, so please do calling. We'll probably try to do us on Thursday eight four four nine hundred two eight two five. Leave us a voicemail. Please keep it short. Producer Mark does not like listening to five minute long voicemails. Please keep it short. Under a minute is acceptable. Under thirty seconds is perfect. Listen to five minute voicemails. What's up? Producer Mark doesn't listen to the five minute voicemail. I

don't the leader that out. Yeah, you go past one minute and you're in the penalty box and your voicemail is going to get deleted. That's what ends up happening. So keep it to thirty seconds is key. And my recommendation is call in, say who you are, where you're calling from. Give us either a comment about their comments are fine. If you just want to say, I want to produce your mark, you know, Teddy Bear for Christmas time to give my kids, you know, that's fine. If

you have a question, that's great. Too, but comment or question thirty seconds who are where you're from? Because that way we can get through a lot of the voicemails and we can bring more and more of them on the show too. So please eight four four nine hundred two eight two five eight four four nine hundred buck. Thirty seconds is a sweet spot. Make sure you know what your comment or your question is before you call. Please and see because we do this too. None of

you ever have to wait on hold. You know, there's a lot of these shows that do the live calls and they put people that don't they won't tell the audiences. They put them in hold hell where you call in and they'll say, okay, yeah, we'll get to you when we get and then to sit there on hold until you realize that you're never going to get on because they'll have seven eight phone lines going at a time. They'll just put some so if you keep calling in and they don't want your call to go on air,

they'll put you on hold forever. So you know, we don't do that to you. We don't waste any of your time. Call in thirty seconds, Bam done. Producer Mark loves it. It's his favorite homework assignment and maybe you have a T shirt idea for Producer Mark. I'm just gonna put that out there, you know, the Producer Mark line. You know fashion were I'm just saying, what are we adding to my duties now I have to become a fashion designer. Well, no, they're gonna give you the idea

for the T shirt? Okay, And then so they're the designer. Really, you're just the producer Mark. You're just the mus you know, someone has to make the T shirt, right, you're the inspiration. Yeah, no, we got we got people go, oh we do I haven't met the mint. Yeah, well, well I got surprises in store for you. We're working on it. And also please go to Bucksexton dot com speaking of surprises in store for you. More and more cool stuff going on

that site. Linked to all of our different social media accounts. You can listen to the podcast of the Buck Sexton Show there. So yeah, thank you, Steve right, it's great show. Buck. I have a theory about the whole BLM and defund the police movement. The leftists want to purge the institution of the police in this country of any non leftist elements.

That way they can they can do what they've done to every other institution in this country by making the job frustrating and impossible, good cops are running for the door, quitting or early retirement. The defunding just accelerates this. When the crime goes up, and it will, of course, the same politicians will start hiring police officers that pass PC litmus tests, and the Democrat Party will have the kind of people who will be happy to enforce unconstitutional laws,

laws that they will then pass. What do you think, Uh see a very interesting theory. I don't know if you know. I mean, I think I think there's some truth which there's going to be more diversity training for cops, and so there's You're not wrong. I just don't know if it's as coherent a plan as that. I think that they're not even thinking that far out. But and it's also gonna be tough to get people to go into law enforcement who are true leftists. I think that's

a challenge. But interesting thoughts, Steve, and I'm gonna mull it over a bit more. Gene. Gene writes, not sure why teachers are so fearful. Before this virus, they taught kids who are coming to school with all sorts of sickness because parents sent them to school sick. If they had to work now with the virus, I would think they would actually be safer because everyone is more aware. Yeah, Gene, this is certainly true of the flu, which exists every year.

We go through flu season, flu cycle. It can be lethal to children and to adults, and teachers still go to school even during the flu season. And that doesn't make anybody you know a mass murderer for saying we should have schools open. So schools should be open, folks, That much should be clear at this point. Thanks for being here. Please pass the buck. Tell somebody in your life, somebody you know about the Buck Sexton Show, get them to try the podcast. Just once. I'm gonna be out

on Friday. Mike later will be in for me, but I'm back tomorrow on Thursday. Shield High
