You're listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcast, make sure you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, everybody, welcome to the Buck Brief on this Monday. We've got a preview what's coming out this week in politics. GOP debate is going to be happening on Wednesday, and Biden currently way behind in some national polling, to the point where they're trying to explain to everybody just how the numbers could be
this bad. It's a fake poll. When the polls are good, you will notice, it's always because Biden is amazing. When the polls are bad for Trump, the well, you get what I'm saying. When the polls are good for Trump, they're fake. When the polls are bad for Biden, they are fake. That is the way this whole thing goes. So we'll discuss that. We also have Well, look at the general election throw down. A New York Post reporter was gard from entering some fine New York City eateries
for dressing like Fetterman. And more than two thirds of Americans are worried their country is turning into a police state. So we've got those three things we are going to hit on. Let's start, shall we. Let's start with the poll numbers. Here what we see ABC Washington Post poll shows Biden trailing Trump by ten percentage points at this early stage in the election. And that's an outlier, to be sure, but this has got Democrats even more concerned.
Here's what's going on. The Democrats are worried that there is a well, very real possibility Donald Trump could actually win this election, and they don't really have any other options other than Joe Biden right now. People talk about it. There's all these supposed plans and things that maybe will come to fruition, but overall, the belief is that none of that, none of that will actually happen. At least that's my belief. I think Joe Biden is going to
be the nominee. And so when you see numbers like this for an incumbent president, people start to get concerned. Here you go, approval rating Biden at his lowest ever. In one poll I saw, it was thirty seven percent. A survey from NBC News showed presidents disapproval rating at fifty six percent, which is an all time high for him. In NBC polls, Washington Post. ABC News showed fifty six
percent of voters disapproved of his performance. Now, this may be largely tied to the economy right now, because people keep being told, oh, no, we're having a soft landing, it's all going to be fine, and they feel like, well, hold on a second, this landing to me, doesn't feel like it's quite that soft. In fact, if you listen to people who are out there trying to pay bills, what you will find is that they are having a
hard time. You're talking about one in three people who make over one hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year right now nationwide, according to survey data. I just saw our paycheck to paycheck. They are living paycheck to paycheck one in three people. Now that's just one indicator. But when you see the cost of food and the cost of energy as highs it as, people are upset, they
understand something that's happened here. This is all just a result of government spending and the inflation that was caused by the idiotic pandemic response of Democrats. Just so we're all clear on that, there should be no surprise here
that what we're actually dealing with was inevitable. It was in fact predictable, and I predicted it among many others, that if you spend eight trillion dollars between Trump and Biden on dealing with the pandemic, you can in fact find yourself off in a situation where you've created terrible inflation. That is a real possibility, and now it is a reality. Right, It was a possibility, but it's something that we've actually seen now. So what happens with Biden at these low numbers,
I'm going to tell you this. My concern here is that they are letting it all out now, meaning that they're they're just kind of letting things run. Because Democrats you can disagree with me on this, but every Democrat that I know, and I do know some Democrats who work in politics, they want to run against Donald Trump. They want to be able to run against Donald Trump.
And people say, oh, but Trump was so great as president and he did an amazing job look at this four years, to which I say, yeah, but they're running against January sixth four indictments and election twenty twenty stolen stuff. That's their whole campaign. So it doesn't really matter who Joe Biden is because it's not about Joe Biden is good. It's Donald Trump is a threat to democracy. Donald Trump is the end of this nation as we know it.
That's essentially the twenty twenty four pitch from Democrats. You can see it coming a mile away, and they haven't really started it yet. In fact, there's not really any Democrat attack ads. They're pretty quiet. They may be rolling them out in some of the swing states already to start to mold that perception. But over time, I think people will increasingly realize. People will be increasingly clear on what the Democrats strategy is, which is just to flood
the zone with anti Trump. He's basically hitler, He'll destroy the country stuff. And for a lot of people that's not gonna matter at all. You're just gonna laugh at it, right, I'm gonna sit there and say, just like you are, Well, that's ridiculous. It's not the end of the country. That's crazy.
But if you're a true believing lib guess what you may find yourself in a situation where you have some neighbors who are independents all of a sudden are saying, I don't know, I'm a little scared of this Donald Trump guy. I think it's going to be a problem. They are fighting over a one percent slice of the pie here, They're fighting over the tiniest possible tranch, and that's what we see. All right, It's going to be
a one percent election, I believe. I know right now Trump is a head ten but all the other polls have it effectively neck and neck tiede Biden and Trump. So that's an outlier poll. But the fact that there could be a serious polling company, serious polling effort that has that kind of an outlier shows that Biden is weak right now. There's no question Biden's week right now, and it isn't out of the question that they may try to replace him with someone, but I think it's unlikely.

The polling on this one from rasmuscin two thirds of Americans are worried their country is turning into a police state. I think that's very valid, and I think that America is becoming a place where the justice system feels deeply unjust.
There's a lot of there's a lot of very severe prosecution of people for things that aren't This is a very important concept. Malim prohibitum, malamin say malum prohibitum. These are real legal doctrine, legal philosophy, stuff. Malum prohibitum is the government says, don't do this because we say so. Right, So maluin prohibitum is you can't drink till you're twenty one. I mean that's totally arbitrary, right, I mean you should be you know, drink when you're twenty drinking your nineteen.
What's the difference? Government says so illegal, can't drink taler twenty one. That's malum prohibitum. Malum in say, is I want a handbag from that old lady walking down the street. I'm going to hit her over the head with a brick. Everybody knows that's bad. Everybody knows that's immoral. What we have in this country right now is a situation where the malaman say, the stuff that's obviously bad is always being excused, and they're talking about it like, oh, it's
social justice, we have to excuse this. They're making all these excuses for that stuff, and I want to say excused. They're not punishing it very severely. They're letting it go. They're downgrading it, all of that stuff, or they're giving the bare minimum punishment. They're letting people get away with stuff over you know, theft, assault, robbery, you know violence. Those are the things that you want, you know, protect
people's persons and protect people's property. Right, that's fundamental law, right there, that's what you want. That stuff all the Soros prosecutors, the Democrats, you know, that stuff is very you know, not a big deal to them. They're trying to find ways to Oh, we should diversion, we should get people in treatment programs. But the malim prohibitim stuff, the oh you shouldn't do this because you know, the
drinking age is twenty one. Kinds of laws, arbitrary, arbitrary things about you know, I don't know, like, oh, like parading inside of the Capitol building for example, it's trespassing. Okay, trespassing is bad. You should probably pay a fine for that. Right. No, if it's January sixth and you're trespassing, you should go to prison for months, maybe for years. Maybe you should be held in pre trial attention for years on end.
Maybe you should be treated like a member of al Qaida because they think you're like a member of al Qaida. Well hold on, al Qaida murders people and has had plans to do a whole lot more al Kaida murdered thousands, tens of thousands, Are you hundreds of thousands of people around the world a vicious, murderous terrorist group and chose to do so People that are curious, who are there for a protest, to walk into a building and are having kind of a over exuberant moment of you know, yeah,
we're asserting our voices here. But who didn't attack anyone. I'm talking about people who didn't attack ops and who didn't destroy property or though, let's be honest, left destroys property all the time. They're treated like cainous criminals because of the politics of the situation, right, And what we see more and more is Democrats make determinations about if you break the law, it's serious and you're a bad person,
depending on your political party. If you're a Democrat, you know, if you're Bill Clinton, if you're Hillary Clinton, if you're the Bidens, you're not a bad person. Come on, stuff happens, No big deal, Let it go. What are you talking about. There was no crime. Okay, there was a crime, Well, then it's not a big deal. This is the game they play. If you're a Republican, Oh my gosh, oh oh, if they can get you, Oh, if they can find a way, they will absolutely destroy you. And they'll use
the law to do so. You know, look what they're doing to Trump ninety some odd felony counts. So I would want to ask, did they really think that Donald Trump should spend the rest of his life in prison? He should be in a cell and at a federal penitentiary for the rest of his life. It's the former president of the United States are out of their minds, something deeply wrong with them. But that is what they want.
That is what they want. They don't want people who are, you know, making cities unlivable and dangerous for everybody to suffer severe consequences for their repeated and destructive and violent actions. But they want their political enemies ruined. That's police state stuff, everybody, it is police state stuff. My Pillows team has a great sale going on with an everyday item for your home.

This is kind of a fun one because I know that was a little intense a
second ago. But the New York Post sends a guy into a bunch of different restaurants dressed in Fetterman attire. The Post tried to eat at New York City's finest restaurants dressed like John Fetterman, and a lot of these places said, no, sir, you are not a letter. Danielle on the Upper east Side Michelin starred place, fabulous special occasion place. I've been there for like birthday, dinners before
stuff like that. The maitre d sniffed that someone dressed like Fetterman with a sweatshirt and shorts would not be permitted there. Another one said, we have turned away guests for being improperly dressed, regardless of their occupation. At La bernadaa same thing happened. So you can't go to the fanciest New York City restaurants if you addressed like Fetterman, but you can walk on the floor of the United States Senate. All right, that's say it, everybody. Thanks for
hanging out. Talk to you tomorrow, Shield time.
