Buck’s First Thoughts - Reckless Rhetoric Leads To Riots

we expect that this will spread to other cities. We should be able to have a national conversation or at least have some kind of understanding that we the American people all want justice and that there needs to be a cooling of passions and tempers here because a lot of innocent people are going to get hurt otherwise. But instead, it's just it seems so clear that the wave of mayhem and anarchy is just going to continue to build up, and the Democrat demagoguery around all this is just going

to get worse. But you know, these days, what you see online is so already curated in ski because the big tech sensors are making sure that you can only say certain things, and everything that you do online is public in a sense, right. So tech has become so advanced now that if you're using your PC your computer anyplace and you're accessing public WiFi, what you're doing online, what you're doing on your computer. It's just as easy to see by someone else at the right technology as

you're seeing it yourself. Kind of takes away the whole notion of what a personal computer or PC should be.

They surrounded the police station in Brooklyn Center. If you've seen the photos of it, if you see what's going on here, it looks like

they're prepared for a protracted siege. You have law enforcement officers that have nothing to do with the specific incident of the shooting, the killing of Dante Wright, who are being attacked by angry people in a mob Antifa self described Antifa members now showing up. This is a litmatch thrown into a tinderbox sitting atop a big pool of gasoline. This is a highly combustible situation right now, and everyone needs to just take a step back and think about

what's really going on here. The city of Minneapolis has already been through far too much, and the rest of

the country has dealt with the reverberations. As you recall, last summer, there were b LM protests that broke out across the country, and it needs to be said more more people need to know this, need to hear this that in a year of a pandemic where we had lockdowns and we had people interacting less, far fewer people than in living memory, going to bars and restaurants and subways and being out in public places, so you should expect that the violence rate in the country would be far,

far lower than in previous years. Instead, what we had was a massive spike arise of murders and other violent crimes and including rapes, sexual assaults, assault with a deadly weapon arise across the country not seen in over twenty years. The worst murder rate. They're expecting. They still compile the numbers and they'll give us the official date. I believe in September, the worst murder rate since nineteen ninety five nationwide.

And there's one major factor in all of this. The George Floyd police incident in Minneapolis, his death, the riots that ensued afterwards, the undermining of police, the call through defund police, and communities becoming less safe as a result. People suffer because of these bad ideas. People suffer because of these lies. We all need to understand this. We

need to be honest about it. I know right now that there is that cheap virtue signaling going on all over the place by people who live in safe communities, who don't know crime from a firsthand experience, and who think that standing in solidarity with rioters and looters is somehow making anything better. It actually just makes everything worse. But the ruling class and the elites, members of the Democrat Party, Silicon Valley, corporate America, they are very clear

and where their sympathies lie. And there's also it seems very little willingness to say to people, stop being reckless, stop saying things that are not true. People with major platforms. Corey Bush, member of Congress, tweeted this out about Officer Potter, who has already resigned and who is now facing criminal culpability. There have been about fifteen of these taser firearm mistake shootings that have occurred over the last decade or so.

So this has happened before, and in most of the cases there was no criminal charge, especially if the person and if no one was killed. In a couple of cases there have been criminal charges. An Officer Potter may very well get an involuntary manslaughter charge as a result, but that's already in process. Right there. There is an accountability that is going on here that will never be true justice in the sense that you can't bring back Dante, right there's nothing to bring him back to stop that

tragic accident from happening. But here's what Cory Bush. Remember the House representative said about all this that she would rather she tweeted this. The twenty six year veteran cop, former president of the police union doesn't know the difference between a taser and a gun. And you say more training would have fixed this, Nah, But I bet you would have known the difference if Dante wasn't a black boy, or if he was her loved one. And quote that's

from a representative, Cory Bush. That is a in sight unfair and deeply unhelpful thing to say. Right now, there is absolutely no evidence whatsoever of racial animus in this incident. In fact, if anything, what we see on video is someone who is clearly trying to do one thing, makes an awful mistake that she is responsible for, and then realizes the error that she's just committed and that the tragedy that ensued, and knows that it's too late and

she can't take that bullet back. But this has happened before the timing of this, I mean beyond just the fact that it's a tragedy in and of itself, but the timing of this right before we're expected to hear about the George Floyd verdict. I mean it rather the Derek Chauvin verdict about the death of George Floyd, which is next week. I mean the jury could be deliberating as soon as next week. Right now, it would be

hard to think of a more tense situation. And people who have platforms, people who have power here in the national conversation, should use it responsibly. But we shouldn't expect that to happen, not with today's Democrat party. We've got an open border, we've got out of control spending, we've got real fears of inflation. People are starting to wise up to the fact that the Faucii consensus is never

going to just let us go back to normal. That they're not even really thinking there is such a thing as everyone just stops wearing masks and lives their lives, that they're not going to give up that control. People are starting to see through this Biden administration and so

what do they want here? That's right, an issue of racial justice according to the left, to rally around to make it seem like there is a righteous cause for the left, when in this case and this reality, what they're going to do is just create excuses for more destruction, violence, and anarchy in the streets. What was better as a

result of BLM riots lad Year? What improved? Oh, they got the main demand, which was defunding of police in some cities, and crime sword and people died and misery spread. It's very straightforward. The cops are not the problem, all right. We have to be adults in America. We have to be willing to say things that are obviously true. We have to fight this effort to shut down your ability to observe what you know to be true. There is

a war on observation going on right now. You can't see what's actually true and not true about lockdowns and vaccine policies and all the rest of it. Shut up and do what you're told you can't see and come to your own conclusions about how crime is getting worse and how BLM activists by million dollar mansions for themselves while they're actually supposed to be, you know, helping poor communities and dealing with police relations. Right you're not allowed

to notice these things. You're told what to think, and if you disagree, you're shouted down. They're not even trying to convince you of anything anymore. And you're certainly not supposed to notice that BLM as a movement has blood

on its hands. You look at what's happened over the last year, over the last twelve months, and because of the defunding of police, because of the change in perception about community police relations and the fact that law enforcement does not feel backed up in their jobs, more people are dead than one otherwise be more people have suffered. And what exactly is gained by all this defund police which I know Ben and Jerry's, the ice cream company,

has now said that they want to abolish police. Look, they're a bunch of morons who have done far too much to push type two diabetes on the country. Okay, by the way, boycott them. Let me just throw that out there right now. Donat that ice cream. If every person who had a rational view of America in the country, who was center right said I'm not going to buy anywhere Ben and Jerry's, they may actually feel that a

little bit. They may actually realize shut up and make my you know, Oreo cookie swirl or whatever it is. Whatever they make, I usually can't eat it because they have gluten in a lot of their ice cream. That's the truth. We need to take action or else this stuff continues. Defund the police is moronic. It's a stupid thing to say. There are bad people in this country. There are bad, violent, destructive people of all races and backgrounds, and we all need to be universally held to account

for our actions. We cannot break the law, we become a lawless society. The foundation upon which everything else is built. All of our prosperity and all of good fun stuff out there, and all the systems that we benefit from every day, they all start to crumble if we don't have rule of law and we are all responsible as individuals, as human beings for our actions. There is no license to loot or riot or attack. And getting rid of cops is the dumbest thing I have ever heard in

a public policy debate. It's honestly the stupidest thing I've ever heard. What are we going to do? Then? We're gonna start sending in social workers? Have they thought this through? Do they think that unarmed social workers are going to want to be involved in violent domestic disputes? You're going to send in a social worker if somebody's calling the police because they're worried that there could be a drive

by in their neighborhood. I'm glad the social worker will be there to say, hey, let's all be nice to each other while the bullets are flying over their heads. Could it be any dumber? No, But this is where the Democrat Party is now, reckless demagoguery, brainwashing and stupidity on a national scale to pretend they care so much

about minority communities. You know, all these MSNBC anchors who are millionaires, who live in very safe areas, who send their kids to private schools, they're the first ones to tell you, Oh, but you know, we don't need so much police. Really, they should spend a few nights in the highest crime areas of major cities, especially these days, and walk around the streets and see how they feel about cops after that. I have a feeling it would change their tunes. But it's just a bunch of virtue

signaling cowards, just reveling in their demagoguery. That's what they do, and that's what they care about. The full text of of of what of your requests? Uh? And UH make sure that you know we sit down and and go through it and see how we can implement. I don't believe that officers need to necessarily have weapons. Uh, you know, every time they they're they're making a traffic stop or or engaged in situations that don't necessarily call for uh

for weapons. We know that are other many other jurisdictions or even around the world where that is, you know, necessarily the case it's not needed. So that's the mayor of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, which, as I understand it has been a place that's very much deteriorated to the last

ten or fifteen years and much higher crime. And this is this is someone who has a public platform, has public power and trust, who's saying something that is just is just shockingly stupid, but also somewhat commonplace these days to say things that no rational person would think is a good idea. Yes, because we have we've had a major surge in violent crime in the country last year. Now's the time, in a country with hundreds of millions of firearms in circulation already, now's the time to tell

cops do your jobs, but don't be armed. That's what the guys saying. Yeah, for traffic stops, don't don't be armed. Um, perhaps the this individual doesn't spend much time on the internet, he would know that a New Mexico State Police officer, darry And Jarrett, was murdered just over the weekend. You didn't You didn't hear a lot about this one. Not a lot of solidarity marches, and not a lot of people walking around trying to raise awareness about the risk

that law enforcements. Law enforcement takes. Omar Felix Queva had a rifle and executed Officer darry and Jarrett at close range during a routine daylight traffic stop. But sure, let's give our cops even less of a chance anytime they pull over somebody who has an outstanding warrant for a violent crime, like, oh, that's right. As we've now found out, because the stories are never accurate in the early hours

about the victims. When BLM decide that somebody is one of their hallowed victims, one of the one of the martyrs of the movement, the initial story are never really true about their background. That that's always the case. There's there's this you know, we at first it's usually the person's you know, a family man, an honor student and

everything else. And then when we say, well, hold on a second, this person actually, in the case of George Floyd, for example, held a gun to a pregnant woman's belly during a home invasion. They said, that doesn't matter. Well, it mattered when we had all these photos of somebody, you know, either in their high school graduation cap and gown, or when we're being told that they were an honor student or a family man, or a hard working person or whatever whatever it is, that's all to be said.

But then we find out the person either resisted or rest had a long criminal history, had a violent criminal history. In the case of Dante Right, the individual, this individual held a gun to a woman and tried to rob eight hundred dollars from her. Okay, that's that, you know, arm armed robbery. But if you talk about this so

you're you're it's a problem and understand this. That doesn't change anything about the culpa bill of the officer, Officer Potter, but it does affect the narrative and the perception of how these events affect society, of how people should view these these situations. Same thing where you bring up, you know, resisting arrest, it is possible to say, don't resist arrest, Comma, and this officer made a terrible mistake. Those are both true. Statements.

You should not resist arrest, you should not violently fight with cops when they're trying to rescue, and you, if you're a cop, you gotta be able to discern, even in very tense moments, between your taser or your fire or or else. You shouldn't be a cop. It's that simple. I remember when you know, when I was, when I

was overseas, it was just on all the basis. I mean an a D. If you got an and I mean an a D out on the range, accidental discharge, an a D. You know, walk into the to the dining hall or whatever, if you fired off around by accident you or you were going home. Basically you were done, even if no one was hurt. So you know, they that's the It's a cardinal rule of firearms safety. And obviously officer Potters is paying, in our own way, a very high price for this. But we're gonna we're gonna

now disarmed It was defund police. Now it's gonna be disarmed police. Who's gonna want to take these jobs? I know there's a lot of law enforcement that listens to this show all across the country, and I couldn't. I couldn't tell them in good in good faith, Yeah, keep doing your job, especially if you're in a relatively high crime area. You know, I mean, I have I have an uncle who is a police officer in south central for fifteen years, police officer in south central Los Angeles.

I'm gonna tell him to walk around without a firearm and to go up to people and get involved in disputes and pull them over and try to write them a ticket and try to you know, one of the most dangerous things cops do is in fact, traffic stops. But you see the voices out there right now that get attention for the Democrat media aren't people who actually know anything about law enforcement, about you four incidents. They're

people that appeal to the masses with their emotions. You know, they're They're the people at MSNBC who just oh, they're just channeling all this emotion right now, But then they say things that end up hurting people when they're implemented. There are negative consequences to bad ideas. Something we always have to remember. This stuff is not without a cost.

But the people who bear the cost are not you know, wealthy upper middle class journalists or well off or wealthy TV news anchors or people who are making pr decisions at big corporations. No, they don't pay the price. No. Instead, the people that are the most likely to suffer from violent crimes in the neighborhoods in the first place, their percentages just go up. And when things get worse, and

that sense of misery and foreboding that exists. And I mean, I've I've spent because of my time in the NYPD, considerable time in the actual worst neighborhoods in New York City, and I can tell you that it feels like a different place than the wealthier or even just more run of the mill parts in terms of crime of New York City. And I wish some of these journos would do the same, because maybe they would shut their mouths. There's so much you're just not allowed to say about

COVID and lockdowns. It's very frustrating. As you know, it's been one of the things that's made me particularly angry at the big tech corporations. I mean, I think I'm one of the most vocal anti fauci voices out there, and I know there are some others, and I appreciate them. By the way, I feel a real solidarity with them. But I've got to tell you, the way that big tech has weighed in on this stuff, it's just appalling. It's awful the way that they've shut down free and

open exchange of ideas. And you know that if you've tried to share your political opinions in general, these days, it's really difficult to have a civil conversation. You get attacked by trolls, you get swarmed by lunatics. Well that's why there's caucus Room dot com. This is a social media network exclusively for conservatives. Caucus Rooms an online community

Let's talk about if you have received the J and J vaccine. A lot of folks are probably wondering what should I do,

what should I look out for. What's your advice to them? Well, the first bit of advice is really don't worry very much because, just as we've said, it's a very very rare event. That's the first thing. The second thing, the bracket of time when this occurs was between six and thirteen days, so it's between one and two weeks. So if you've got your vaccine several weeks ago, then it makes it even less likely that you should have any

concern at all. If you've had it within a few days, just stay heads up for symptoms severe headache, abdominal pain, chest pain, things like that. But again underscoring Savannah, it is a very very rare event, so you don't want people who've just received the vaccine to be overly worried about this. This is a rare occurrence. The pause is just as an abundance of caution to really scope out the situation a little bit more closely. The pause is

an abundance of caution. You know, you got to mitigate because there could be a diminution of the parabellic upswing of the hypotheses of the Isosceles triangle. And you know, I really do feel like sometimes this guy is just broke it into a few high school textbooks and wants to just throw out a bunch of a bunch of

science sounding jargon, math and science jargon at us. You know, when you have Savannah, you get the shot, and when the photosynthesis kicks in and you have the oxo ribo nucleic acid that is a part of the overall you know Dalwinnian notion of it. Just just blabber right that. But people go home, doctor Foucher, You're so smart. Doctor Foucher's so smart. He's such a smart man. What are we doing? So now it's don't worry. Yesterday was pause

the vaccine. Now it's don't worry. And I just want to say when I tell you guys, because I'm thinking about this all the time, and I know I get I get a lot of feedback from you all, and I want the feed. I want you to tell me what you think about what we're doing here. You you are this show. This show is for you, and I want to know what you're thinking. So send us an email at Team Bucket, iHeartMedia dot com, or send me a message on Facebook or Instagram. Just type in Buck

Sexton on what comes up, send a message. I see it. Producer Mark sees it too, but I see it. And because on the vaccines, I want to be very clear, I'm not trying to you know, push any water, bully anyone in anything. People say, Buck, why would you get the vaccine You've already had COVID? And I say, I know, isn't it so stupid? The only reason that I would

get that. I'm scheduled to get a vaccine in about sixty days, so in a while, because I do it, I've got anybodies in my system, I've already had the virus, and in a short period of time, I'm going to introduce that same immune response through this, you know, genetic coding response or whatever. I mean, very just you know, very few people really understand how these vaccines actually work. This is not your standard. This isn't putting just dead

virus into your system. This is something else. But the reason that I've said I would do it, And I'm not trying to push anybody else here. I'm just saying because I in New York, where I currently live and my family is, and where I work, they have already started to experiment with vaccine passports, and you know, so I'm willing to take the risk more so so I can live a normal I can live a normal life. But I agree with some of you say, well, isn't

that a little bit? I mean, I'm so anti mask as you know, outdoor masking moronic, zero reason to do that. Indoor masking and limited circumstances at sometimes you know, maybe, but in general, I mean, I think mask mandates don't work. I think mask mandates are a disaster. And I think that masking is the initial knee bending that leads to all this other madness in our society. I actually shared this was actually this is great I shared on Twitter today.

If you have probably you also all should be following me on Twitter please if you're not already, And it's this. It was almost exactly a year ago. It was like a year and a week ago, there was a piece in the Washington Post. I'm just waiting for this too. I'm just waiting for this to be taken down or for social media companies to come after me. This is

the right below the democracy dies in darkness. You know header in the Washington Post everyone wore flu masks during the nineteen eighteen I'm sorry, everyone wore masks during the nineteen eighteen flu pandemic. They were useless. That was in the Washington Post a year ago. Everyone wore masks during the nineteen eighteen flu pandemic. They were useless. That was the headline, not that they didn't work that well. Useless.

And you know what that line is. That line is taken from the considered this seminal work work of history on the Spanish flu pandemic of nineteen eighteen. The author just writes, Look, they did this everywhere. Didn't do a damn thing, but people were obsessed, and there was mask fashion, and there was you know, mask all kinds of stuff. Right. Oh, you know, how do you where does your where should you shave your mustache? A lot of mustaches back? Then?

Where should you save shave your mustache so that it doesn't affect your mask and all this stuff, and they were useless, was the quote. Now, if I say that today, I get kicked off social media and treated like a troglodyte. But this was in the Washington Post, friends, a year ago. And what's amazing is the sheeple out there, mate, mate,

they they see stuff like this. And when I point this out to them, or I of course show them the Fauci lines from a year ago, you know, you know it may it may actually make you feel a little better, but you know, when you're out in the crowd, you know it doesn't really do anything to wear a mask. They say, well, but the science has changed, Oh yeah, how and then they point to some uh, some not real world study they point to essentially spray water through

a mask and saying, well, there's less vapor. So since there's less vapor, there's there's you know, it's effective, it's stopping the virus. And then then you show them all these CDC studies. There was a big one, I think it was up in Canada because they say, well, doctors to wear them, and you say, okay, well, the CDC study fromp in Canada about masks during flu season for dentists, specifically for for dental personnel, showed the dentists who wear

masks during procedures versus those who don't. No change in the transmission for those healthcare personnel during the flu season. And it was a pretty big So that's a real world study. And there's tons of this out there if you want to see it. The Danish mask study. Oh well, yeah that you know. Sure it didn't stop people from getting it, but you could not give it to another person if you have it on and they have it. There's always there's always an excuse, right, there's always an excuse.

The CDC numbers on mask mandates within the margin of error. That's how well the mandate works. But you can't bring this up. Yeah, I'm not. I'm not letting this go because friends, they're they're trying to change the wiring in our brains with all this stuff. They are making you a compliant little stooge. And I hate it. I resent it every They do it to me too, because you'll say, well, buck, do you wear a mask in New York? I have. They will evict me from my home if I don't,

I will be kicked out of the grocery store. I will I will get you know even more dad bod going on here without even being a dad. Because I can't go to the gym, all these things will happen. I have no I have no choice. And if they call the police, the police will enforce against me. They will arrest me. Right so I am. I am not conceited to their argument. I'm conceding to their superior force. I tried. I went maskless for months and months and months.

Then I was told deal man, everyone's complaining about you. This is getting out of control. Oh and by the way, since I got the virus two months ago when I was walking around with no mask on, was I ever infected? No? Did I ever put anyone at risk? We know for a fact scientifically no. I did not. Never, there was no risk, zero risk. But you're not allowed to see once again, you're not allowed to observe. There's a war on observation right now that the Democrats and the left

are waging. You don't know what you're seeing, you don't know what's really happening. You're not allowed to even say, hold on a second, they're pausing a vaccine. If you had called for a vaccine, pause on your Facebook page two weeks ago. If you had said, guys, I just I've read some data on Johnson and Johnson, and you know something's going on here. We got to really look into this boom. Facebook would lock you out, They shut you down, they take your account away. Think of the

effect that that has on our conversation about this. This is the new public square. They are the phone company, you know, circa nineteen fifty. This is how people communicate, and they control it. The biggest enemies of free speech and free expression in the country right now are the most powerful platforms of communication in the world. This is

the great irony we're dealing with. But the point of making about the vaccines is does that change the thinking at all for the people that believe that they have all this figured out? Does that change the hubrists and the arrogant mentality of those who say, oh, I just listen to the science, I just listen to Fauci. How many times did those guys get to be wrong before a normal person would say, maybe something's up here now.

I saw, for example, the Tucker monologue. Lass Tucker did a monologue last not on this, and he kept saying, why do they want us to wear masks after we're vaccinated. He posed this question, and he didn't get to I know what their answer is. Even after vaccination, there's a tiny percentage of people who could still get infected, five percent by the Fiser numbers, whatever it is. And so if it saves just one life, this is the this

is the well spring of all the tyranny. If it could theoretically save just one life, you have to deal with this for our health policy. Faucism. The fauci id consensus is the speed limit must now be ten miles an hour. That is what has happened in this country, where the speed limit now must be ten miles an hour. And if you don't like it, you can't drive, you can't leave your home, actually, and we'll arrest you if you do anything else. It's not the country I want

to live in. It's not a country I'm going to accept either. And the grubby little fingers of the states authoritarian democrats here, they're not taking they're not taking their hands off the wheels of power. They're not going to do it. They want to control you. They want to keep this going as long as possible. They like you compliant, they like you scared, stay home, wear a mask, don't see people, do what we tell you, get whatever shots we tell you. Do you think that that upsets the

nanny state leftists? Or is this a dream come true in terms of the power they have. It could be that possibly someone who's had COVID like myself, could they be reinfected. They're very small numbers of it, But guess what, almost none of them are really getting sick. You're you're not reading stories of oh my goodness, thousands of people being reinfected, they're in the hospital and they're dying. Those

stories don't exist. You'll read about a random, very rare person getting reinfected or getting infected when they've been vaccinated. But the good is that even if you got infected from COVID, after you've been vaccinated, you have some immunity, a partial immunity, and it lessens the degree or significance of the disease. So almost everything out there's good news.

This is why I so much think doctor Fauci should be voluntarily removed from TV, because what he says is such a disservice and such fear monitoring, and almost all of what he says isn't even matched by the science of his own institute. So really what we need to do is here from a lot of different experts, and then people need to realize that the risk factors are

different depending on your age. You mentioned that Johnson and Johnson vaccine very very safe, and if you're over eighty, without question, it's the only one you can get, take it. If you're over seventy, take it, But it does depend on your age. If you're under twenty five, the chance of dying from this is one in a million. So your risk factors do depend on whether you judge whether you take a vaccine. It's not the same for everybody.

Everything Senator round Paul saying there is provably demonstrably true. But do you ever do you ever hear this? I mean, they've there have been teachers unions that as part of their demands, and the teachers unions have just shown what a disgraceful, disgusting mess they are in the past year. Just just thuggish democrat political machinery. And it's all the teachers unions are good for. But the truth here, with everything that's going on, the truth of the situation is

that we can't have real conversations about risk. We can't actually have real discussions about who's at risk and who's not. They wanted children, Teachers Union wanted children to get vaccinated. Why kids, The kids are fine. But what they do is they say that's not true. Kids can still get it. And they'll point and they'll say, look, you know, one hundred children have died believed to have died from COVID

in the United States. Okay, I mean that's one hundred children out of a country three hundred and thirty million people. There are viruses that you know, that are that are floating around in the air all the time that kids can still get they can die. We have to accept that there's not a zero mortality future from COVID. That's not realistic. That's not gonna happen, just like there's not

a zero mortality from flu future for the world. So, you know, the people that have pushed for all this stuff, the lockdowners, you gotta understand what their next moves are gonna be. We keep seeing these reports, Oh, the vaccines are effective for six months. Okay, what happens then we're gonna are we supposed to go through this every year? Oh? And you know, you can't actually see people and do things.

You gotta get the second and then what about when the booster, you know, doesn't work on the new variant or something. I mean, you're just gonna We're all gonna go insane. I mean, we're all just gonna completely lose our minds over this stuff over time. And I think a lot of people have. I believe that mass media has combined to create combined with mass hysteria to create

the environment we're currently living in. You've never had so many hysterics able to reach out and talk to so many other hysterics that at one point in human history speaking of hysterics, here's CNN with their I guess he's

still unpaid as a contributor. But doctor Fauci, who really, you know he's I know he's at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, but he really should just be chirond as favorite CNN and MSNBC guest, because they're also emotionally and professionally invested in this guy not being a little tyrannical moron, which I think he is. But here's CNN talking about what Tucker said on his monologue, which I brought up before Play six TV personality Tucker

Carlson said on TV about vaccines in general. He said, if the vaccine, if vaccines are effective, there's no reason for people who have received the vaccine to wear masks or avoid physical contact. So maybe it doesn't work and they're simply not telling you that. Let me repeat that again. So maybe it doesn't work and they're simply not telling you that. What do you have to say to Tucker Carlson. Yeah, that's just the typical crazy conspiracy theory. Why would we

not tell people if it doesn't work? Look at the data. The data are overwhelming. In the three vaccines that have been approved for use in an emergency use authimization, the Jay and Jay, the Fiser, and the Moderna. You had thirty thousand, forty four thousand, and forty thousand people in a clinical trial with an overwhelming signal of efficacy. So

I don't have any idea what he's talking about. How dangerous is it for a TV personality like that, who does have an audience of millions to speculate about something like that. Well, it's certainly not helpful to the public health of this nation or even globally. You know, I don't want to get into arguments about Tucker Carlson, but to me, it's just, you know, it's counter to what we were trying to accomplish, to protect the safe, the

end the health of the American public. Why can't that little fascists tell us when we can stop wearing masks? When give us a date or give us the numbers, give us the metrics. Why can't give up the control? Better to attack Tucker Carlson for asking that was a question that he brought up in the context of a fifteen minute monologue where it's clear he's not anti vaccines and he's not saying they don't work. He's just trying to work through a problem that we're not allowed to

really talk about because the lockdowners are authoritarians. And I'm actually the process of trying to find an employee or two to join some of my Freedom Hunt activities. And it's a tough out there right now because you've got people that don't necessarily know if they're could be able to stay remote in their job. I mean, they like

it if they don't. There's all this change that's currently going on, and I think we're just beginning to see how much our work life balance has really shifted as a result of these pandemic policies, but it's it's getting more complicated all the time, and that just reminds me that when you're running a business, HR issues can kill you.

President Joe Biden has announced that he plans to pull US troops out of Afghanistan by September eleventh of this year, clearly noting the symbolism here of that day and an end to a war that has raged for twenty years. We have been deployed in Afghanistan. We've had US military in Afghanistan for twenty years. And I remember I was in Afghanistan a decade ago. The situation then was largely the same as the situation now, except there were far more troops in

the country at that time. But the same things you'd hear about how the Taliban is on the offensive, and the central government is corrupt and weak in an effective and their forces toe to toe without US support, won't be able to go won't be able to go up

in battle against the Taliban without losing. And I just remember thinking that everyone that I knew who was handling that issue at the at the highest levels honestly of the intelligence community in the US government, was very negative on the long term product that was in twenty ten very negative on the prospects of Afghanistan's future and felt like we could stay and just keep holding it together,

or eventually realized that enough is enough. Well, the same voice is the very hawkish Republican voices that you always hear on this point are out there telling you, oh, we we shouldn't do it. Here here he is the guy I've never seen. Lindsey Graham has never seen a troop deployment or a war that even like, as far as I can tell, I don't know what it is with this guy always looking to bomb another country and show what it's wrong. So it gets applause from the

think tank set on K Street in DC. Here he is play eleven. Biden's become an incredibly destabilizing American president. He took a border that was pretty calm and turned it into chaos. The Mid East had been transformed on Trump's watch, where the Arabs were working with Israelis and had Iran in a box. He's taken Iran and let him out of the box. They're talking about enriching uranium at sixty percent now, which is a direct threat to

the existence of the state of Israel. The Russians are challenging him in the Ukraine, and now he is withdrawing forces in Afghanistan against sound military advice. To all of you who are listening, you remember where you're at. On September eleventh, two thousand and one, our military told President Biden that if you withdraw all of our forces, al

Kaeda and Isis will come roaring back. Afghanistan would disintegrate into civil war, and we can avoid all of that by having three to five thousand American forces making sure that ISIS and al Kada never come back to hurt us. He rejected that advice. Afghanistan is going to tear rate pretty rapidly. Al Kada and ISIS are going to come back.

He's paving the way for another nine eleven. Now, I want to be very clear that I don't care that Joe Biden is a Democrat, and I don't care that this may not be the most popular thing to say on conservative talk radio right now. I think the war in Afghanistan needs to end. I wanted Trump to end it. I wanted Trump to end our military presence. He did not. I want Biden to end our military presence. I'm not

going to do this thing. I'm not going to play this game of saying I want other men and women down range fighting, you know, in Afghanistan when it politically suits me. No, you know how I felt during the Trump years, I wanted the president to end our military

involvement in Afghanistan. I am going to stand on that same viewpoint now, all right, Otherwise what am I'm just you know, look, I know there's so many conservatives out there, is in the media that's just all about I mean, just raising donor money and like, you know, maga hats when it's popular, and then you know, oh, they're all of a sudden, you know, they're hi ekei and free market pioneers when they think that's popular, and then back to the maga hat they say whatever they've got to say.

You all know that I want the war in Afghanistan, our involvement, I should say to end there. So I'm not going to pretend that that's not what I wanted. If I wanted under Trump last year, I wanted under Biden now, So I'm not going to do this thing and hit him for yet. Is the border a mess because of Biden? One hundred percent? Everything else that I've

said about that stuff is that all stays. But I do think the war in Afghanistan are pardon the war in Afghanistan needs to end, and I understand that that is there's a very real possibility the Taliban will end

up taking over substantial control there. And I will tell you right now that I will if there is a terrorist attack plan from Afghan soil that involves the Afghan regime, the Taliban, whatever part it may be, I will advocate for a not a US military you know, pinprick invasion, but scorched earth and whatever we got to do, however we gotta do it. Not not letting them take another generation of Americans, you know, twenty years worth of people who are serving the in the military and wound them

and kill them. And we're trying to create democracy. No, no, no, if they if they if they poke the dragon again, we go back breathing whatever fire we have to. That should be our attitude. It's the way it used to be. So it's the old approach in America when we when someone decides that they're going to attack us, we go back. We hit them with everything we've got until they can't hit us anymore. And that's that. So that really should

be the attitude. I think it's not that we're going to go rebuild other people's countries for them, and that has been the case for for a while. Now. Now I understand people say it's a relatively small military presence. Yeah, but maybe in three years it won't be relatively small. Maybe the Taliban becomes ascended. In our three thousand troops there's not enough. And now now we're going to get deeper and deeper into it. You know, there is the

quagmire theory of how these things work. It's it's it's not a lie. This can happen. Marco Ruby another, You've got all these Republican foreign policy hawks, you know, making sure that the raytheon stock stays where it is and keeps going up. Here's Marco Rubio plate twelve. Well, that was a decision that began under President Trump, and so they've just what they've announced is that they're going to stick with President Trump's decision with regards to Afghanistan. Look,

the outcome is going to be a terrible thing. The Taliban's i believe, will eventually take over the country as they were in charge before, and it's not going to be a good outcome. The flip side of it is that I'm not sure what the pathway to a better feature in the near term ones. And you know, given all the other needs we're facing around the world. You know, once President Trump made that decision, I think the die

was cast in that regarden. Do you think the US has made enough progress on training the Afghan security forces? I mean, I hope so. I don't have a tremendous amount of I hope I'm wrong because of the implications, but I don't have a lot of faith that the current government Afghanistan will be able to survive or hold on for long the Taliban. My personal opinion everything I mean I know is I think the Taliban will have an Afghan againstand control by the Taliban again, and that

not a good outcome. But it's a direction that we're headed, and the previous administration agreed to that. The current administration stuck with it, and that's where we're going. I think that's where we should go. And I'll have to revisit this, you know, maybe in a year, maybe in eighteen months, because I think what Mark Rubio says here, he understands the basic facts and storyline of this. The gods, the Senate Form Relation Committee. I mean, he's he's pretty he's

pretty knowledge about this stuff. Uh yeah, the Taliban will be ascendant, and there's a chance of Taliban will take over much, not all, but much of the country, and perhaps they will then forward some kind of a power sharing agreement. But it's not my problem. You know, We've we've gone through this, right, we remember, we're rock. We try to build a better country, and then they want you know, now they want us out. And then we had Isis and all this stuff, and we're all told, oh,

we're imperialless in America. Now we we've done this, we try to go in and get rid of the bad dictators and get rid of the Jihatas and build nice societies. Nope, enough, I'm not I don't want anyone being sent on our behalf as the American people, to go do this anymore. You know, what we really need to be concerned about is if things get really hot with China in the next five to ten years, are we ready for that? All right, Afghanistan is done well, we've been through this,

We've done everything that we can do. Well, we'll still give them aid and you know, the thing that you gotta remember, there's also going to be support, back channel support and stuff that you know, you can't talk about publicly that's going to be going on where the US government's gonna be helping the Afghan government. That's obviously going to happen, but it's just no longer going to be our military presence holding this whole place together. And people say, well,

what about South Korea and what about Germany? The Taliban isn't about to take over Germany. I mean, there's not an imminent threat of war in these countries. So those are strategic military bases with host partner nations that actually want us for the most part, in country, and our troops are not at any risk in Germany, or or in South Korea, or or in Japan. So that's a

very different circumstance, isn't it. If the Nazis were still running around Germany controlling you know, the whole states, you know, the Nazis were running Bavaria as the Taliban is running parts of Afghanistan, and then you'd have a more similar circumstance. But it's time to go, and you know, like I said,

I know a lot of people change their stuff. I know they're you know, there are people who as radio hosts were calling Trump an idiot and he's awful, and then they were the big Trump cheerleaders, even they were pretending they weren't. I thought we should have ended Afghanistan under Trump, and this is the timeline that the Trump administration then sent out. Biden's going to stay with it. I believe this is the right move, and I think

it will get ugly. I think there will be cost to this, but it's not I couldn't sit here and say, if you made me Secretary of Defense, I could not sit here and say to you the American people, including all the people listening to this who are active and former military. We've got people in the Special Operations community who listened to the show. We have seals, we have sf we have Marines who listened to this show. I could not say to them, yeah, I want you to

I want you to stay in Afghanistan. I think this mission is worth it. And I certainly couldn't say to any their earns, I want to put your your children in harm's way for this mission set And so if that's how I feel, would I send my own son if I had one to secure Hellman Province at this point. If I were the Secretary of Defense, no, I would not so come with May. That's how I feel about this, and I'm I'm not going to trash this policy because

the Biden administration is following through on it. Our troops, our national security is more important than those kinds of games.
