Congress Passes Massive Pork Mess

So that's my first My first order of business. My second order of business right now is to just say that we've had a great year on the show. It has been a bad year for America

and the world. I understand that, but I did want to say, for a moment, thank you so much to all of you who have helped us have our biggest every year of growth, the most listening, the most podcast downloads, and we just keep doing better and better. And we're essentially at a point now where this show gets placed into a market and it does well, This show gets

picked up by a station, the numbers go up. It's been doing this now for years, but now the momentum, and the reality of that is undeniable, and that's because of all of you, and I do think that this show deserves that listening. Producer Mark and me and the whole Freedom Hut team, we do everything we can to

make it the most worthwhile experience possible. So, if you'll excuse me, it's a little bit of a little bit of pre birthday, pre Christmas self indulgence here, but I just wanted to tell you all thank you so much because we have had a great year, and it is because of all of you who listened to us and who trusted us in what is a very challenging environment, a very difficult year, no question about it. I think

this show has been right. I think we've been more often than not on the forefront of the battles for the truth, whether it's on the COVID lockdowns or on what's what's happened with this election? On BLM and the movement over the summer. You remember I was telling you all these concession moves, all the negotiations, Republicans are talking about, the pulling down of statues, that this was essentially a spasm of the left. It was an outgrowth of rage

and power grab on their part. It wasn't a good faith effort to try and rehabilitate or renegotiate or anything like that. They weren't seeking compromise, they weren't looking for converts. They were hunting heretics. And that's just Those are just a few of the areas where I think. I'm very proud out of what we've done on the show this year. And I don't do as much self promotion as I know a lot of other hosts do. Occasionally I'll hear a clip somewhere or something and people talk about how

great they are. I am honored and humbled to have what I think is the most discerning and most insightful and loyal audience anyone could ever have doing what I do. And I see this all the time from the messages you send. And I also appreciate that you stick with me and with this show through very difficult times, which has certainly been the case this year. So any of you who feel like sending me a happy birthday on December twenty eighth be much appreciated. But I will be

on the beach with snow Princess doing my thing. Now let's jump into the latest Congress pasted a massive pork laid in bill, trillions of dollars of spending nine hundred billion dollars for COVID relief, And there's a lot of stuff that's getting conflated. So I want to make this clear. Yes, it is true that the stuff that everyone's pointing out that's contained in the spending bill is not technically part

of the COVID bailout portion of this. But it's also true that they waited to do all of this together, and that just makes it more difficult for us to

hold anyone accountable. That just makes it more difficult for us to see who was responsible for what in this whole process, and it shows us that the government there's still a real contempt that the ruling class and the elites have for the American people, because at this moment of real panic and real suffering and pain across the country, which is still going on, you had members of Congress, powerful elected officials who took this as an opportunity to

engage in all kinds of buyoffs and payoffs or favored constituencies. And they did this all together for a reason. That's my point. I understand there's a difference between the nine hundred billion for COVID relief specifically and the ten million dollars contained in the overall spending bill, which is the federal federal government outlays right the Omnibus, the overall spending bill that had ten million dollars for gender programs in Pakistan.

I know that these aren't technically the same bill or the same effort within the legislative process, but understand this. They did this together so that they were they were like pulling off all the band aids at once, if you get my drift. They did this so that it was we would all just be disgusted at the same time, and then we wouldn't really know who to blame. You know. For Pelosi, this is a good thing because she delayed necessary aid billions and billions of dollars of aid to

people who aren't a really bad place right now. You know, I've just seen some of the early reports on drug overdose deaths for this year, and it's looking like it's going to be well over eighty thousand. That's not an official number yet, but that's what the early count is. We're looking at the highest year ever of overdoses in the United States. And remember, we had an overdose crisis for the last ten years, and the number has been

going up and up and up. So we're at the worst ever year for drug overdoses in the United States

in our history. Now over eighty thousand people dead. And you can't tell me that there's not a substantial percentage of those who have died who are not doing what they think as a kind of self medication of their despair using opioids and other substances because of all the emotional, psychological, and physical pain that they are feeling, and they're feeling it in part because of the separation from other human beings, because of the loss of jobs, because of the destruction

of businesses. Yes, I understand that this is a brutal time for the country, and I understand that there's no perfect answer here, but let's remember that there are some who are much more responsible for extending the misery, for making this even worse than others. Nancy Pelosi is very

high on that list, as are many other Democrats. And yes, there's a lot of stuff that's contained in the bill that overall, even if we weren't talking about COVID stimulus funds or you know, COVID relief funds, whatever you want to call it. Even if that weren't an issue, Congress is passing bills now that regulate performance enhancing drugs for horses, and Congresses is passing bills to send money to a whole array of countries. We're giving money to Sudan, We're

giving a large sum of money to Israel. We're giving money to a lot of foreign countries. Why are we doing any foreign aid this year? That seems to be a very fair question. I mean any foreign aid, and I don't want to pick on any individual to a country. I don't understand why we're doing any foreign eight at all. The taxpayers are having their money sent overseas for what. Do you really think that we should be worried about democracy promotion in Pakistan? Right now? And then let's be

honest about this. How much democracy promotion you think you're really getting in a country of one hundred and seventy or so million people by spending ten million dollars, which is what the outlay was. Yeah, that's that's a lot of democracy promotion you're putting on a very small amount of dollar bills, aren't you? Analyst? Just goes on and

on for these things that people are seeing. And one of my frustrations is that, yeah, everyone, everyone trashes Congress when this happens, right, people say, oh my gosh, how could how could Congress be so inapt and so dumb? But they do this right before the Chris's break. They know exactly what they're doing. They do it right before people go off on holiday. Who's even going to remember this in the new year. Who's going to really spend any time at all thinking about this once we get

into January. No, it'll be we'll have other fights. So they understand the game and they're they're playing it like pros. We think that they're there to put the interest of the American people first and make responsible decisions to help as many of us as as they can while respecting and defending the Constitution. That's really it. It's a pretty straightforward idea. They think they're there to sign their name to things that spend the public money in such a

way that they will be able to get reelected. That's the primary goal of ninety five percent of the members of Congress in both parties. This is bipartisan now, folks, this is both teams and the government has closed down much of the economy, not all of it, but a lot of the economy. People are facing expulsion from their homes. We have a wave of evictions that is coming, and even if they delay it, eventually it's going to happen. There's going to be a reset. People are going to

be kicked out of their houses in large numbers. The government sends everyone, what, six hundred dollars that's what we've gotten here in the direct payment if you fall under certain categories three hundred dollars of additional unemployment. In the meantime, they send let me see here and hat tip techno fog for this on Twitter. One hundred and thirty five million to Burma, eighty five million to Cambodia, one point four billion for the Asia Reassurance Initiative Act, and one

hundred and thirty million dollars to Nepal. Yeah, that's right. I lose sleep at night worried about whether they're going to fund the Asia Reassurance Initiative Act. That one does get me. That gets me really concerned. I'm very worried about that one and what would happen without that? And we all get angry about it, and then we don't really do anything about it. We were supposed to have the swamp drained. And I think for a lot of us,

this comes. This is tough, and I know we're going to the holidays, and I just want to say that there's a lot that I'm optimistic about for this country and the future. And honestly, as long as I get to do this with all of you, as long as I can share the truth from the perspective of somebody who really loves this country and just loves Americans, but I actually love the American people. I have a fondness even for all the Libs. I have an innate and

deeply ingrained connection to my fellow Americans. I really feel that. And maybe that sounds a little corny, but we're going to the holidays. I'm just going to tell you how I feel, and I think we'll get through all this. But we have some battles ahead, and we have some housekeeping to do, and we have to we have to get ready for a lot of policy that's going to

be shall we say, suboptimal, that's coming our way. But we also have to be very honest about what has gone on over the last four years, and maybe it was an impossible mission to say that the swamp would be drained. But I'm here to tell you, and I think you already know this, but we should all understand the mission continues. I think Trump understands that too. The mission continues. This swamp has absolutely not been drained. Politics

in DC has not changed forever. In fact, what we see here is a giant empire strikes back moment from Congress. That's what this is, and that's why I want us all to be very focused on what we need to do in the future, focused on these Georgia runoffs for the Senate, and focused on the battles that lay ahead, because we still have a lot to do, friends, and we need to be happy. Warriors need to be energized

and engaged. And yes, rests, relax, recuperate over this holiday as much as you can, especially for those of you that get some time off. God bless and I know it's it's a stressful time because of COVID, But we fight because it's the right thing to do, and that's what we will continue to together. And that is the mission, the mantra of this show. That's why I always say at the end shield's eye. I remind myself of that

in life all the time. I can't tell all of you to hold your shield high if I won't do the same. It's not easy these days. It's not easy to stand on constitutional principle, not easy to feel like you're a person who the consensus, the digital elite, consensus of social media, of Hollywood, of the academy, of law schools, of the legal profession, largely of the courts, is standing

against you. But we continue in this battle because it's the right thing to do, Because ultimately it's for the future of the greatest country the world has ever known, which, even on its worst days, even as swampy as it is, America makes the world a better place every day it exists. And you and I both know that, and we're both parts of that. So I don't forget that You're in the freedom hunt. This is the Buck Sex and Show podcast. It is not overblown to say that Donald Trump is

an authoritarian or it does not believe in democracy. It goes beyond Trump. I mean, we have got to ask ourselves why seventy rather than number seventy three million I think voted for him, And we've got to reach out to those people. I think that there is and I

think that to some degree a dean. I'm sure a lot of my Democratic colleagues do not agree with me, but this is a reflection of the Democratic Party because I think if you talk to many of those, you know, people, working class people who voted for Trump, they'll say, look, we know he's a lie, we know he's fully, but at least you know he does this. He does that

something the Democrats don't do. So we have got to figure out a way to bring our people together, black and white and Latino, Native American, Asian American working class people and say, you know what, you need a government that represents our interests, not one that divides us up by the color of our skin, where we were born, or a sexual orientation or whatever. Bertie Sanders, I miss him, but you know, he was sort of mellow Bernie there.

I've never heard him sort of not yelling. Notice when he gives a speech, it's up here, but when he's on the fold, it's kind of down around here. They're not going to do any outreach. I just had to play that for you, just to remind everyone of the delusions here at the Democrat Party, They're gonna be the outreach to people who voted for Trump. Not really, no, no, no, they didn't do any of it in the election process.

Why would they do any election outreach going forward? I mean, why would they do any trying to bring us over to their side. What was the big idea I think about this. What was the big idea the Democrats had that Biden stood for that really convinced people that this was the way to go. What was the thing that they had that was supposed to make us all say, you know what, They've got a really good idea here,

let's go with that. It was Trump is basically worse than Hitler, and Joe Biden is a guy who's a Democrat. That was the whole campaign. There was no idea this was run on other than Joe Biden is in Trump and the media try to convince as much of the country as possible that, despite his ability to run the country pretty darn well for three years, the COVID pandemic was entirely his fault, and so if you want COVID

to stop, you have to vote against Trump. That was their whole play, and it was craven, but it has gotten us to this place we are currently in, and so beyond beyond that, I would just say, you know, Bernie Sanders, I hope we hear more from Bernie Sanders in the months and years ahead, just because I love doing the voice Bertie Founders. What's to wish everybody a happy Worker's Day? Not a holiday, because it's not about

being the holy It's about the workers. It's about getting you as much cash as you can from your neighbor. It's not a gift. It's redistribution of wealth. That's what Bernie wants to do. It wants to redistribute that wealth. That's his version. That's his version of Christmas and Monaka gifts for all of you, taking from your neighbor by the fourths of government and giving it to other people. I guess that's the Democrat version of happy holidays. But

there will be no outreach to Trump voters. There will be intended purges of them though, and get ready for that. They're going to want to make life as uncomfortable as possible for former Trump administration officials. Certainly the media will do. It's all many corporations. So let's remember we have to stand beside those who fight with us. You're in the Freedom Hut. This is the Buck Sex and Show podcast.

Buck Sexon is back. It is a goodbye cartisan Still, it does as different from bills that had been proposed on the Senate side by the Republican leader. It does things that his bill never did, and that is it addresses the food needs of the American people, maybe fifteen million children of food insecure in our country and adults as well. The only thing that can save us is to open the economy. If we give these tinpot dictators, these governors, more money, they're less likely to open the economy.

The ANSWER's not printing up and distributing free money, it's opening the economy. We're not even debating the real answer to this. We're like, just print up the money and shovel it out the door. The deficit be damned. There you have. There, you have the dueling philosophies of the left and well some on the right. Yeah, the dueling philosophies from Nancy Pelosi and Senator Rand Paul Here. Pelosi says it's a good bill, which should terrify you, right.

I mean, if Nancy Pelosi's happy, you should be very unhappy. That's a good rule of thumb about anything that the Congress is doing. You should be unhappy and certainly worried if Nancy Pelosi's tell you that some massive, multi trillion dollars spending bill meets all the needs that she feels that are out there. And remember that this is a lot less than what she was demanding. What she was

demanding was flatly ridiculous. I mean, she's accepting this now because yeah, this is too much money, it's too much spending. We're twenty seven trillion dollars twenty d seven trillion dollars in debt. But she wanted what was it, almost three trillion of new spending on top of all the trillions of spending that's already happened. I mean, that was just crazytown, right, crazytown, But that's where Nancy is the mayor of Crazytown as well as being a member of Congress. I don't know

if you knew that. Rand Paul's right, these bailouts this continued, and I'm not talking about for individuals that is deserved, but what we're seeing for municipalities and what we're seeing for multinational corporations. I mean, the money that's getting slashed around in this thing. We should have instead of all this, we should have a system that puts a priority on

getting us reopened as quickly as possible. What we should have here are incentives in place for companies and for states to take reasonable measures to reopen asap, because instead what you have here is America heading into this long period of COVID winter, and there's no incentive for governors, for mayors who aren't already trying to hold the line and stay open, there's no incentive for them to open back up and just take the risk, the political risk

and otherwise of having a spike in cases when they reopen, even though as we see the massive spikes that have occurred right now, and there are pieces coming out from reputable places. I mean, the Federation of American Scientists, for example, put out a study and it's from South Korea, and

its involves all it's pure viewed. It involves all the contact tracing information from South Korea, which does a very good job of this, and it showed that there are people in an apartment building who live on different floors who got infected and there and they're all in the

same air duct line. So the conclusion is that there seems to be a possibility that COVID can freely circulate in the air through air ducts in a building, So you may not even be in the same apartment as someone, but you could still be infected depending on the airflow, which then raised a lot of questions about that piece of cloth that says Biden Harris twenty twenty over your mouth,

and how much protection that really gives you. But we're not yet at the point where we've broken through the censorship on this, or we're not really allowed to speak openly and honestly. But I can't hear on the show. But I have to be very careful on social media platforms. I'd be very careful about what I'm talking about, just

sharing data and information. I mean, anyone who looks at graphs right now of mask mandates lockdowns and cases and hospitalizations and states like California has to just result to gibberish and fantasyland explanations for why this is a really effective policy. The only thing they can say is the unfalsifiable. Oh, it would be so much worse if we didn't do this, And I would just ask you to take a look

at a graphic of California. Take a look at it and tell me if you think that it really could be that much worse than it currently is in California. I mean, how much more spread would really is? The whole stake can get infected in three days if it weren't for mask gaming. Really it's absurd, but that's what they're saying. And if you challenge them, they throw a bunch of credentials that other people have in your face.

And those people with those credentials have often been very, very wrong, and they tell you shut up and you're a flat earth. End of story. That's where we are. I'm telling you. So much of this is driven by ego, because there's so many people who believe they're really, really smart, even though they don't know anything about science or biology or anything else. But they're really really smart. They watch CNN, you know, they read the New York Times, and they've

believed all this stuff all along. And no one wants to be the person that realizes that they have been in a cult. No one wants to feel like they were able to be brainwashed or swindled or bamboozled. So there's a tremendous amount of psychological resistance to accepting that people were wrong in this, and we're just going to keep looking and keep sharing the information, keep sharing the data, because their wrongness has costs for all the rest of us.

Their wrongness results in lockdowns that continue on, in mask policies that are just a constant psychological and emotional and physical agitation. It results in dividing us, making us think that there's some politicized aspect to the COVID virus, which is absurd. But they've made it very political. It never should have been political, but it has become such. Remember when they were telling us that don't make don't make the mask political, just wear it, And now it's we

have cases because of those non mask wearing Trump voters. Right, They just totally abandoned that whole. Oh, let's not make it political, just do what I say. And then when what they say doesn't work, what do they do? They blame us for not doing what they say, even though by all the data, people are limiting their travel, limiting their contacts, and wearing masks all across the country. Ninety percent compliance with mandates is the best estimate out there.

But don't worry. Fouci's on TV. I got the vaccine. Don't worry. I'll be running your life. I'll be in charge you. Doctor Fouch will be in charge you for another twenty years at least. I'm gonna be sitting around here telling you know, you know, yes, I understand the vaccine as a ninety nine percent survival rate, but you know, ninety nine point ninety nine actually if you're onto sixty five. But beyond that, I just you know, I think you should cancel all fun things in life and given a

few more years, because they're still virus that could be mutations. Yeah, that's right. You think you think they're gonna let this go. You think they're gonna give us back our freedom. No, you're gonna have to take it back. You're gonna have to hold people accountable. They're going to be lost. They're gonna have to be non compliance. That's the only way this stops. They're gonna be fistfights. They're gonna be people that lose their minds when you walk past them outside

without a mask on. Even though they're the lunatics, they're wrong. People that look at you outside in fresh air walking past them and you don't have a mask, and they think you're putting them in jeopardy. They are wrong. They are they are just afraid, and they are easily brainwashed. But they are incorrect. You are not. Just remember that because it's gonna get ugly. They're not gonna They're not gonna go down. This tyranny will not go down without

a fight. It is among our biggest challenges in twenty twenty and I'm sorry twenty twenty one. See I can't even remember the year now and the COVID lockdown tyranny. This is because if we don't, yeah, eventually, maybe in twelve months, they'll start to really ease up, but no, they won't. Next winter, to be after that, next spring, not this spring. Next spring, you'll start to feel like

you can actually live your life again. Do you want to sacrifice because of incompetent fools like Fauci and company? You want to make that I don't want to make that sacrifice. I don't want to see what this country is like economically. If we still pile trillions of dollars of just debt future promises to pay on top of the debt we already have, that's that's just catastrophic in waiting. That's what we know is happening right now. So we need to understand that they're not going to give this up.

They're not going to let this go, and it's going to be incoming upon all of us. It's really at the state and local level because the federal level, the tyranny is going to have all kinds of backup. So it's going to be at the state and local level we have to push back. And look, I just hope they make enough room for everybody in Texas and Florida who's flitting these stupid blue states that are destroying themselves.

Thanks for listening to the Bust and show posts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts at the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your Podcastsously if we are on a on a glide path because of climate change to our annihilation as a species. And there are people that benefit from the belief who don't really share it, but who will propagate it anyway. And there are people who are truly that brainwashed and delusional that they think that it

is an existential threat. They actually think that they worry about this. I mean, there are people that write articles now about how they don't want to have children because they don't want to add to climate change. There are people that write articles about how they they lose sleep at night because they're so worried about the rise of the seas from all the you know, they watch too much CNN and BBC and this other crap by people

who just aren't able to think for themselves. You know, I often refer to people as as stupid in the media, and I'll say this, and part of that is out of frustration the things they say are dumb. But I know that it's not that they're actually well in some cases, I mean, there are people who are just uttered morons. There really are. There are people who have low IQs, who are not very bright, not very intelligent, and some of whom have enormous media platforms. So I do want

to establish that is a real thing. But there are a lot of other people in the media who went to fancy schools and probably got pretty decent SATs, you know, not that many in journalism, but there are some that fall into that category. But really what they have is cowardice more than stupidity. They always want to be considered smart, They always want to be considered on the right side

of these issues. So they follow the herd, they stay within the crowd, and that is the worst possible mentality for someone who considers themself to be a truth teller. And journalists do think that about themselves. They aren't. It's the worst possible mentality to have. It's why journalism in this country has become such a preposterous joke. And it is. It is a joke, an unfunny one, but a joke nonetheless. But I want to be very clear, this is going to be a major challenge for us going forward in

the year twenty twenty one. The Democrats are going to be pushing amnesty and an immigration something you're gonna be hearing about a lot on this show, because if we ultimately lose the battle on immigration, we lose on everything. We lose on everything because they're changing the voters. They're going to have voters who are dependent on the Democrat

Party's largess at the expense of taxpayers and citizens. And we're never going to win another if they have If they have amnesty and mail in balloting, folks were done where the Republican Party is not going to win another

national election for a very very long time. So we're going to be focused in on immigration as an issue, but you're also going to see the continuation of this transfer of the urgency and the demand for your obedience around COVID nineteen is going to transition to climate change. And I know for you and me, that's crazy, that's just crazy it is. But remember there are people who

do believe it. Unfortunately, the Democrat masses, from everything in their pop culture to their friend groups and social media always reinforce this absurd belief our climate change is not an existential threat to humanity anymore so than an asteroid hitting the planet is an existential threat. And yes, it could happen. Are you losing sleep about it? Are you not having children because an asteroid may hit us in a thousand years? Who knows? Right? This is? This is

really a religion replacement. As I've always said, climate change is a religious belief for people who think they are too smart for religion. And then there are the other people who will benefit enormously from this. All the solar pane you know, the solar panel companies that need government

subsidies and maybe even bailouts. You know, they're all the different alternative energy industries and carbon offsets and all this stuff, all these little pig snouts at the trough of the government's goodies that come from this alternative energy sector at everything else that's going to be a huge component of this as well. So, my friends, we all need to

be very aware of this. I know that it seems so crazy that they can't be real, they can't really want to do this, But I am here to tell you they do want to do this, and they will and we're gonna have to fight them on it, and they're gonna think that you're the one who's loony. Thanks for listening to The bus Esson Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you

get your podcasts. It's Harsania time, everybody. Our friend David Harnsani in the mix from National Review dot com or he is a senior writer. Mister David, final live show for me for the year. Thank you so much for joining us and all your various appearances here. We appreciate it. It is a pleasure each and every time. Buck, so

tell me this Faucci is out there. And for the first time of my points that I make about Fauci, because I think you have A very interesting take on this is that whenever there's a reason, he's very quick to say, well, even if there's like a one in a thousand chance of that thing happening, led, let's take the most cautious and I would say overcautious and even

authoritarian approach possible. And then when there's good news, you know, like for example about schools, I don't know, why isn't Fauci on TV with a public service announcement saying open the schools, schools should be There's no debate about this anymore openly right, it's always the negative stuff that he's very clear on, but the positive we don't get to hear from him. Why is he telling people get rid of outdoor outdoor masking? To this day completely baffles me.

There are mandates for outdoor masks in some states. There is zero science to back this up. There's no study that says it's a risk. It's crazy. Okay, he won't say that. But finally he said, we've gone too far. What did he say with David Well? And when people brought up that we might need a temporary travel band from Britain because they have some kind of super spread or virus. I think it spread seventy percent faster or

something like that than the strain we have. He called it draconian, and I am just taken aback by the way that a lot of these are leads and expert class people talk about the world. You know, It's not draconian to tell your you know, to tell families they can visit each other on Thanksgiving and Christmas. It's not yourconian to shut down to schools for a year. It's not draconian to destroy entire industries like the restaurant industry in New York, even though I think studies show that

one percent they're one percent of the spread. It's not draconian to tell people they can't go to church, despite you know, the Constitution clearly clearly laying out that that is a right of people to do. So, you know, this is the problem when you talk about science now, of course, when most of the time when people talk about science and just preening on about you know, things that I have nothing to do with science. But the thing is that it's not just about science. It's about

a lot of other things in society. And having the science lead us all the time, it creates a situation you just mentioned where we have public health officials who only care about the science. They don't care about the social interaction, meaning you know, the emotional importance of that kind of thing for society, or I don't care about the rights of people, and then you have them saying that's draconian to shut down airline flights. I don't even understand.

It's just arbitrary, and it's not doesn't just doesn't sound very scientific to me. What do you think is going to happen when with the incoming administration here, I can't really decide in the early stages. I mean, I'm gonna have to see how this plays out. But but I was someone who I think I've said this to you. We've talked to this on earlier shows. I knew starting around August. Oh no, they're not. The plan here is not to have the great Biden reopening if he wins.

The plan is going to be to continue the lockdowns, the control and maintain power in certain hands long after any reasonable person could think that that was something that should happen, And we are seeing now. I believe that

is at least the early stage plan. But do you think that they're going to just make a lot of noise about how they're doing things like the Biden administration separately from the States and like Cuomo Newsom are doing things so differently now when they're really not or do you think they're actually gonna take concrete actions that are supposed to be making a difference here in the course of the pandemic? You know, you see what I mean

about the distinction. There's literally nothing they can do that they couldn't do before, right, I mean, it's not like Donald Trump stopped them from doing anything. Yesterday, Nancy Pelosi was, you know, talking about this ridiculous bill that they just passed, and then she she claimed that, you know, Republicans are purposely spreading it basically that they don't believe in science.

And then she jumps over to how, you know, suddenly we have this vaccine out of nowhere, Right, so Republicans are anti science but yet also pro vaccine but also anti vaccine. It doesn't make any sense because in my view, at least, there is no real way that they or they have no real plan, and there is no real way to fight in a respiratory, you know, a respiratory disease like this right, No one's doing better than us. Germany's not doing better, England's not doing better. I mean,

we all do the same. So every little power they take is a new a new standard that they've set to take power in the future. And that's why it upsets me so much when I talk about this stuff.

I just I don't know if that answers the question, but I just feel like every time they take power, there's really not a huge amount of scientific basis for it, and ignores the Constitution many of many times, and it's just a new power that the arbitrarily take that they're never going to give back, and that I think is very dangerous for the country and that I think is going to be Listen, it's a tragedy. We've lost a

lot of lives. I'm not trying to diminish that. But you also have to think long term about the sort of governance we're going to have moving forward. Biden will completely never complain at once about anyone taking too much power, I assume right in some states, so that might be

the only difference. Speaking of David Harsani, he's a senior writer at National Review, And Yeah, David, my my expectation is that what you're going to what you're going to see is like, this is like one hundred days of masking. I mean, I look around that everyone who's saying this

out loud. Though it's an intelligent point, I just want to yell, we already have by Oh, there's no data set that disagrees with this that I've seen anywhere at least eighty more like nine mass compliance across the whole country. So when states that require masking, people are wearing because you can't go to the store, you can't go shop, I mean, you can't do it right. So if they

require them, you're already wearing them. So their game change maneuver is to essentially put out I mean, this is really what I was leading to with the initial question, and you clearly see it the same way. Is that it's effectively you're going to be a pr campaign. The Biden comes in and it's the same stuff that we see, except there'll be no pushback on the tyrannical side. I think the dj will be unwilling to be and I

have criticism with the DJF to this point. I think they've just said, look, we don't want to get in the middle of the pandemic fight, Like, we don't want to be suing states when they're trying when they say they're trying to save lives. But yeah, they'll make it easier for the autocracy about COVID to continue. But I don't think they're going to do really all that much

differently at the federal level. I mean, federal buildings are going to fire masks federal and people are already wearing masks. I have friends who work in these agencies. You're they're wearing masks. It's already happening. Yeah, it's a it's a complete fantasy, purposely, you know, it's a complete political fantasy or part isn't fantasy to say that something that we're not wearing masks when every as you mentioned, every study shows that most people wear masks. You can't go into

stores where this spreads, where there are on masks. There are on churches that are like most churches I know, for instance, Catholic churches near here, they were before they were they had to do anything. They were, they had all kinds of you know, social distancing rules in place and mask wearing in places. I mean, people are careful, because most people are conscientious, even if they don't believe it works, they do it to make their neighbors feel better.

This was just sort of an attack on red states, which still, incidentally in most cases do just as well as any other states. Florida is just as good as California, better than New York, um, you know, so they keep changing their arguments. Yeah, I don't see them doing anything else. I do worry, as you mentioned, and people sort of

like the snicker this because it sounds overly idealistic. But there is no coronavirus exception in the Constitution, and you have no right to tell people how to act on a personal level in the way government has been doing. I don't care that there's an emergency or not, and I just don't see Governor's giving What is it I have to ask you. I mean, no one has answered this question for me. What is the use of the Constitution if every time there's an emergency you get to

just ignore everything that's in it. No one needs it when we're just doing what we're supposed to. No one needs free speech when you're saying things everyone likes right, No one needs protection of religious freedom, and no one's bothering you. This is when we need it, and this is when it's being ignored by Michigan, by New York, by California, etc. I couldn't agree more. I keep saying,

the Constitution is not a suggestion box. You know, this isn't like I just went for a meal at Chili's and I want to tell them that they should get me my chicken tenders faster. Right, the Constitution it's supposed to withstand these moments of crisis, and I think we'd have to all look at this and say it really hasn't. And you know, yesterday when I was out numbered on Fox, I brought up, because we're doing this whole look China

as a major threat. I've been saying that for the four years we've been focused on Russia, that China is a much bigger problem long term for a host of reasons. Russia is a manageable issue. It's a problem, but it's a manageable issue. China may not be manageable over the long term. So we got big issues there. But we're talking about Chinese censorship and I kind of had this moment and I said it on air and said, well, yeah, I mean, granted, they're not going to throw you in

prison for saying the wrong thing on Twitter. But we've absolutely moved in this direction now. I mean there is state sanctioned allowable speech about major policy and political issues that you will be shut down for saying the wrong things about. It's true about elections, it's true about COVID. I mean, what could be more important than allowing a free and open debate about these lockdowns that our major institutions. There's free speech as a legal principle, but there's also

free speech as a concept. And our major institutions that are supposed to be defending free speech, the news media, social media platforms, they've abandoned ship. Or actually it's worse than that. I shouldn't even that. They'll strike that from the record. They're part of the pirate ship. It's taking over the ship of free speech. They're actually the offenders. Yeah, I couldn't agree with everything you said more. The free

speech is a legal concept. We have the First Amendment, but it's also a liberal concept that we're supposed to believe in in our everyday lives. But we have most of the major media, and we've talked about this many times, pushing back against not pushing back against it, participating in the suppression of speech that day don't like because for whatever reasons, which is just an illiberal outlook in the world.

And if you read one of my favorite history books as Modern Times by Paul Johnson, sort of just a history of the twentieth century, and every single time you said, I'm not saying we're the Nazi Germany or anything like that, but every single time you see people taking power they shouldn't have, it's on the heels of some emergency or imagined emergency or overstated scare mongering, etc. Every single time. And that's what happens here. This is how you corrode

individual liberty. Now, I don't know that people are that idealistic about it anymore, frankly, unfortunately, because I see polls and most people are fine with these things. That seems to me and maybe I'm wrong, and that to me is even a more dangerous and scary sort of portend of future events. I don't mean to be a bummer. As we're speaking to David Harsani. He's a senior writer at National Review dot com. Check out his latest there.

And whenever I start with I don't want to be a bummer, it usually means I'm about to be a bummer. But I also think that the full economic and just societal devastation from the lockdowns. Now, granted, the body count is very high from COVID, it's it's terrible, But the way this has been presented to us all along was well, that will be much less if we do all these

other things. And now we're seeing the other things. You mean, David, over eighty thousand people's looking like over eighty five thousand. I think, as of right now, died of drug overdoses in twenty twenty highest that it has ever been by I'll buy a lot um and and that's not even

including miscancer screenings and all these very real ramifications. I think that this is going to be a little bit like you know, when you sometimes if you have a bad you know, if you got like a bayonet wound, you don't know how bad it is until the bayonet comes out. I think, until the lockdowns, you know, really end, and then people realize, well, what happens to all the delinquent mortgages, and what happens to what happened to all these businesses that haven't made any money in nine months?

I mean, I think then people realize, did what did we get for this? That's that's also a great way to you know, a great point. I mean, the negative externalities of the lockdowns are going to be immense for the economy, for our our our our lives, for kids lives, or you know, in third grade I think is the grade where you like, see if the kids, the kids need helps and if you help in reading or whatever, and if you don't intervene, it gets worse and worse

and things like that. I mean, how many children are going to suffer because of this? How many how many depressed people have killed themselves, et cetera, drug overdoses. It's just terrible. And we're supposed to weigh these things. Now, let me ask, I mean, does anyone really believe that if we had not locked down things would have been that much worse on the COVID front as far as

the deaths go, I don't know. I keep them, you know, I show this and the President retweeted this graph, So that got you know, that got me a lot this comment, and it's gotten me a lot of unwanted attention on line Davis. You and that can happen. I'm sorry, it's not possible to be a reasonable person and look at what's happening in California right now, in entirely blue state. There's there's no Trump, no masking. You know, lobby in California doesn't exist. An entirely blue state that was saying

that they had crushed the virus before. It is not possible to look at their not just their cases, but their hospitalizations and their overall COVID problem and say, yeah, they had this figured out. They it would have been much worse if they hadn't done all these things. I don't think a reasonable person could say that, And they're saying it all the time. Yeah I don't. I mean, I listen, I don't pretend to have some great expertise in this, but it just looking at the world, looking

at Sweden in other places. I'm not saying it couldn't have been marginally worse, but I think weighing what the what the cost of this will be for society in the long run. Like you said, we can't keep passing bills and giving people six hundred dollars checks as first of all, it's not going to help them secondly in the long run. Secondly, start thinking about what mortgages and rents and all these things we've sort of suspended. This

is real property. People have given loans. This money just doesn't disappear simply because people don't pay it back where the loans don't. And rent as well, people own those buildings they're going to get need to be paid is already a backup, and that sort of cascades into other problems, and as we've saw in two thousand and seven and eight and things like that, when you have a real estate market. So I'm just I don't predict anything terrible.

I don't know how these things are going to play out, but it's hard for me to believe that there won't be real cost to this societally as we move forward. And then when you ask yourself, we just blindly followed, you know, doctor Fauci or whoever else. And I'm not trying to just blame him. This is a you know, the whole expert class was saying these things, was it worth it? And I suspect that it probably was not

worth it because we still have many, many deaths. I think that it would have been far better to protect and to be honest, we didn't exactly know how this you know, in the beginning what was going on, but to protect populations that needed it and allow other people to move forward with their lives. And we didn't do that, and now it's going to be And but here's the

one last thing. The thing was, they never switched it up right once we knew that it was the older folks who were the most potentially going to die from this, they never switched up their ideas. It was always the same. It was always lock it down, don't let people go to school, don't work, let the teachers or unions run the schools, etc. And that I think is where, not at the beginning, but later on, where there's the real you know, problem lay for us and where the real

mismanagement of our society lay. David Harsani everybody nashurview dot com for his latest David always preciate you my friend. Happy New Year to you and we'll talk to you soon as we come back. Thank you too. You're in the Freedom Hunt. This is the Buck Sex and Show podcast. Maybe four, but at least three. We offered another half trillion dollars in relief. It's only to be blocked by Democrats here in the Senate Speaker Pelosi was candid. She

basically said, well, this is about politics. This is we don't want to President Trump to get credit for Congress stepping up in a bipartisan way to provide relief to the American people in the run up to the election. That's what you have to know about this giant bill and what happened and what led up to this point. There. There's really nothing else that you have to know. There's really nothing else about this in terms of the process. There's a lot about the bill itself, but I mean

in terms of why was it so delayed. Democrats delayed it. That's why we waited months for this, and why do they do that because the misery of the American people was to their political benefits. Senator John Cornen, there is absolutely correct. I want you to remember that, not just because it feels like there might be some accountability if enough Americans going into the ballot box in not just two years, but in a couple of weeks. This Georgia

Senate run off is essential. Okay, So let's not forget that this when we talk about the political battles ahead. I'm not saying, oh, in a far off land and a time, you know, long since forgotten. We're gonna we're talking about as soon as we come back from the Christmas season, in Christmas break, we're gonna be in this Georgia runoff. So I want as many and we have a lot of team back in Georgia, a lot of

people that listen to this show down in Georgia. And I want people to remember that the Democrat Party made people suffer because it was in their interest politically to do so, and people's anxiety their business is made it worse for everyone. That is Pelosi's legacy in the twenty twenty year of COVID trying to play games, holding the American people hostage, denying them money they deserve and are owed because she says, so, you're in the freedom hunt.

This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Unless you stop the virus everywhere, you don't stop the virus anywhere. What's frustrating to me is we've learned these lessons. We went through this in the spring. We saw how COVID came and the federal government had no idea. You know, everything was retrospective. COVID was coming to New York back in February. It came February March April, and the federal government didn't even know it. They thought it was still in China.

They didn't figure it out until much later. Let's at least learn And when you have well the EU countries banning UK, you have the UK itself closing down, what are the signal the U need. New York is one of the lowest infection rates in the United States, with the fourth lowest state in the nation. But I can't protect New Yorkers unless we protect the entire country. Governor Cuomo can't protect anyone. That That's what we've actually learned.

There's he's not protecting people. This is not true. The things that he has done, the decisions that he has made that people have opposed at different phases of this have been wrong. And the biggest one, of course, was sending COVID positive seniors back into nursing homes from the hospital, and that had disastrous results. This notion, though, this slogan that he trots out here about how unless you stop

COVID everywhere, you don't stop COVID anywhere. Yeah, that's that's true in a sense, and that's why we don't We're not stopping COVID. What world is he living in? It is not stopping in America. That has not happened. No one has stopped this thing. Some have dealt with the spread better than others. But anyone who tells you that we crushed the virus, or we flattened the curve, or

those are all delusional statements, but they're invested. They can't admit now that what they've been saying didn't really matter what they've done, that the additional pain they've piled on top of this pandemic was unnecessary. Do you think you're ever going to have politicians who will tell you that they'll never admit that would how would you ever want

them in charge of anything ever? Again? If they had to go around and tell people, you know what, we destroyed entire industries who put millions, tens of millions of people out of work, and we didn't need to do it. It was a decision that we made because we were cowards, We were ignorant, and we were fearful and exploitative because

they've used this. Look, let's remember, for Democrats, the single most important political goal of twenty twenty, the single most important one, was that they wanted to defeat Donald Trump. So they look at everything they did this year, and

you have to keep this in mind. They look at all the decisions that were made, all the shutdowns and lockdowns and everything else, and no matter how painful it is, no matter what the analysis shows about this after the fact, in time, they will be happy with the outcome of the lockdowns because the lockdowns created the environment for elevating

Joe Biden. The lockdowns for anyone who doubts me or disagrees with me, the lockdowns were the basis for the ail in balloting changes that were the absolute, the sine qua non, the absolute necessity for the Democrats here was to get that change so that they could open the doors to the fraud and the irregularities that we saw in the election. That was that COVID lockdowns were part of the excuse. So they leveraged COVID policy as a weapon against Trump, and it was effective for them. We

know that it was effective. They go on air and they blame the president for hundreds of thousands of dead people in this country, as though every other country in Western Europe, in South America. I mean, do we really believe that some of the small island Asian nations for example, or smaller island Asian nations, or a country like Australia.

We think that there's so much better at dealing with this virus, or that it's if you're a country that can cut off all contact with the outside world, and you have a small enough population that you can monitor it very very closely, you'll forestall this for a while.

Although Japan is now actually starting to have cases growing in larger numbers too, Is that likely or is it more likely that some populations, especially in Asia, have already been exposed to enough COVID viruses because of their proximity to China, which is where the flu strains come out of China and year out. That's what ends up happening.

It has to do with the massive, massive livestock populations and the proximity to human beings and the zoonotic transmission that occurs out of Asia, and then that's how you get seasonal flu year in and year out. Right, Avian flu swine flu originate and originate in Asia, usually in China, and then they make their way around the rest of the world. Now I know the coronaviruses are different than

influenza viruses. I always think it's noteworthy too that we call it influenza in reference to what the Italians called it around the Renaissance period, because I thought it was the influence of the stars on people that was called causing them to be sick. So even our name for it shows a real ignorance, a lack of understanding of the intricacies and the realities of a disease like the flu. We know some stuff about it, but there's a lot we still don't know, and with COVID that's certainly still

the case. But do we think that some of these countries in Asia, for example, are really similar to us in the way that the virus could be tackled, in the way that their populations have dealt with it, or is it a better approximation for approximation for us to have European countries to be compared with us. They have more were geographically more similar. And when you look at that, there's no way you can make an argument that Donald Trump is the reason for all of this death. It's

it's simply absurd, it's obscene. But they continue to do it. They continue to say things that no honest person could believe. But They like this because it allows them to justify everything that they've done, and that's why it's going to be so hard to get them to think differently at all about any of this. They They're going to continue this narrative. Is what I'm telling you, that it's all Trump's fault, because eventually we're going to look back at

these lockdowns. We're gonna look back at what has been done here and realize that this was disast Thanks for listening to The bus Esson Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. I believe, intuitively, it's already here. I believe that because if it's been flying around the world, it will be here. And I say that intuitively because I have an educated intuition because I lived this and you

live this. Also. I am not a potal moron all the time, and so I am aware of the fact that by the time it is on the front page of major in those papers, a virus that has spread very, very rapidly, it's probably already here. Yeah, you don't say, what a shock, Thanks Cuomo, your buffoon. This is why this talk about about shutting down flights. I'm seeing people saying this. We wanted to shut down flights from China because we thought that we didn't realize where the virus

had already spread to. We also knew that there was a tremendous hot zone in China, and we needed more time to figure out what we were going to do. But we've had a lot of time to figure out what we're gonna do now, and this virus has been in free circulation. There's there's no reason to believe that

this is limited to the UK. The more more transmissible strain of this, they say it's seventy percent more infectious, and they think maybe it's more infectious among children, But again, okay, even if it is more infectious among children, it is at you know, I don't like to say no risk because then people will come at you and they'll say, well, look, two out of ten million kids that got this have died from COVID, which is about what the number is.

Your chances if you're if you're under eighteen of dying from COVID nineteen, if you have a normal immune system, are like one in a million. I mean they're actually I don't mean that. I don't mean one in a million as an exaggeration. I think it is about one in a million. It's infinitesimal. But if I say no risk, they'll say, oh, but people died. You're lying, right, So it's very, very very entirely acceptable risk. And that's really the phrase here. I want to hold in on entirely

acceptable risk. We have demagogues and authoritarians and a cowardly media that are all working together right now to eliminate the possibility of you being in charge of determining what is acceptable risk when it comes to viruses and health for you and your family. They're making all these decisions for you because when we pushed back, they say, oh, but there's risk for other people, so it's not risk

for you. It's about spreading the virus. And this I want to say, yeah, but there's also my freedom, my liberty, and the Constitution at stake here, and there's always been risk to other people from human interaction of aerosolized viruses. I'm also going to say this now, and I want you to remember that I said it asymptomatic transmission has been exaggerated. I'm not saying it doesn't exist. I'm not

saying it's not a concern. It has been exaggerated. Why I know it's been exaggerated because if they had stronger numbers, we would see it all the time. But what they do is they have these largely anecdotal studies to push asymptomatic transmission because then it couldn't you can't be relied on to avoid other people if you could feel totally healthy but still spread this virus. Think about that, we're

all hiding. We have all these problems because of a virus that we've been told almost fifty percent of the time forty percent asymptomatic spread. Was what they were saying in the beginning of the summer. We were told spreads where people don't even know they have a virus. That is, for most people, that the degree of lethality and danger that this virus is for them, they don't even know they have it. I mean, if you have a bad case of strep throat, you're going to be in misery

for a few days until your antibiotics kick in. You get this you don't even know you have it, is what they tell us. Now. I think that asymptomatic transmission asympmoatic cases. I'm sure it's very widespread. Asymptomatic transmission doesn't make sense. Let me ask you this now, sorry, let me let me go back for a second. It's not that it doesn't exist asymptomatic transmission. It's that as a widespread problem and cause of this disease, that doesn't add up.

Why would this disease spread so easily among asymptomatic people. But other viruses out there, what the seasonal influenza, different viruses, does not spread so easily among asymptomatic people. It may be pre symptomatic people, and that's a different thing. Do you shed a lot of virus right before you show symptoms? Yes, that is true of other things, so it may be

true of this one as well. But what we are told to believe is that this is an outlier in that you could be three days into an infection, feel totally fine, gopher runs outside, go lift some weights, feel totally fine, and people around you and you're just shooting virus at them all the time that can infect them. That's unique. We know this, that's unique compared to other diseases. And where is the really hard evidence of that? Where

is the hard evidence of it? Well, that they won't provide you with hard evidence because they lack hard evidence, that's the truth. They have a lot of anecdotal data and do this or else. And remember, much of what they've done here is also premised on we can't wait to see real data. So we're going to tell you do this based on the data because we can't wait, and if we see how it actually would work in reality,

we'll already have suffered too many casualties. That's what they That's the way they forced us to do all these things. You know, they kind of put a gun to wall of our heads simultaneously and say obey us, because by the time you figure out we're not correct with our COVID policies, it'll be too late. I'm sorry that did you think we're not correct, and we are correct, it'll be too late. That's their premise. This whole thing has gotten so out of control. And I've been saying this

for a long time. You know, I was right here. We are lockdown two point zero big second wave. Why is it New York City being hit more by this? I think it's important for us to think this one through. Why is it New York City being hit harder? We have super high population density. We have a lot of people, essential workers and others who are still I'm going into an office every day. I've had friends recently who have come down with COVID, so it's very much out there.

But New York City has about half the positivity rate based on testing. And I know there's a lot of ways testing skews this debate because how much testing are you doing? How the people, let's say, oh, testing doesn't

create cases, are being intentionally obtuse. They're being morons, right, because the point isn't that you create it's if you test a lot of people and there's a high there's a high false positive rate, and on top of that, you're catching more of the COVID that's already out there compared to previous testing when you were doing less and therefore you weren't seeing as much COVID. There are real reasons why the numbers are skewed. That's obvious that new

things through this. I would just note I would return to why does New York City have a lower positivity rate than the rest of New York State? And I think the answer is, well, I shouldn't say the answer is an explanation for it is in the prology testing that we did back in May or June, we saw that about twenty percent of New York City had been infected. That is the official number based on the extrapolation of a large number of blood tests looking for antibodies. Twenty

percent of the whole city. Since then, we've obviously had a we've had far more cases, and we also did not catch I mean, the twenty percent was probably a low figure. It might have even been eighteen or nineteen percent officially, but it was a low figure. And you've got to add at least another five or ten percent on top of that for what's happened since then, So you're getting close to a third of the city would

already have had COVID and had anybodies. So while we're going around masking and distancing and doing this whole dance, we've been doing the whole time, and a New York City where where California was over the summer, because everyone's patting themselves in the back, look what a great job

we're doing. Well, are we doing a great job or do we just have a large percentage of the population that has effectively no longer at risk to this disease, and did we already lose so many of the highest risk individuals in the nursing homes that yes, right now we're going to look like we're better off. You see

what Quoba has done. Cuomo is like a general who loses all of his soldiers in the first engagement of a war, and then three months later at the command staff headquarters is saying, well, I have the lowest casualties this month. Well, yeah, it's because you lost everybody in the first engagement. You lost everyone in the first battle. And there's there's some truth to that as a way of understanding what's happening in New York as I'm sure

it's true in other places as well. That really what Cuomo has overseen here is a disastrous first response with casualties and spread of the virus so high that now in the second wave, New York City still has problems to be People are not all immune to this. I get that, but in the second wave of this, what you have are people, a large number of people who can't get it, which slows the transmission dramatically. And of course they're gonna say it's masks in social distancing, but

whose theory makes more sense, minor theirs. Whose theory makes more than Look at California, look at Florida in New York, whose theories make more sense? Who is actually supported by the data? And who's part of this occult of the magical mask? That's what a doctor Fauci. Your mask is magic. I didn't think it was at the beginning of the year, But so much science has changed since then. Yeah, what science has changed? Oh, the bureaucrats got a little taste

Hi, how's it going good? So the restaurant rules are crazy? Just just go over what are some of the most absurd ones for everyone to know. Well, while while the cases are rising and everyone's all in this panic, the authorities are taking the time to tell you things that are. It's the absurdity

just keeps mounting. Yeah, well, I just want to also make it clear that the cases, while they are rising, they're the second lowest in the state in New York City, and so in New York City is the only area of the state that has restaurant indoor dining closed. So it's kind of interesting that the place with the second lowest numbers, the second lowest hospitalization, is the only place targeted for closure. So, right off the bat, that's pretty

ridiculous to me. They try to stop people from being able to use the bathrooms when they're in the outdoor dining. They're saying that people can't go into the restaurant to use the bathroom, and the restaurants pushed back on that hard because it was obviously completely absurd, and they reverse themselves on that on the same day in the same dick Cat they also put out that you had to order if you were getting takeout from a restaurant, you had to order it by phone or on the internet.

And so a lot of these small businesses, like for example, the coffee shop on my corner, it's one person behind the counter and or maybe two, you know, one person making the coffee during the busy times and one person taking the money. There's not a third person to go out to the street and sorry, because you also had to pick it up curbside. That was the other second part of that. There's not a third person to go

out in the street and pick it up curbside. There's not a third person to take orders on the phone or via the internet. You can only have so many people in the space. So yeah, there's all these insane things. They keep changing the rules on these restaurant owners. I spoke to so many restaurant owners. There's just so much that they all these kinds of rules being thrown at them all the time, changed all the time, and it's

a really bad situation. At what point are people going to realize who aren't in the restaurant industry that if this continues, there's no way And as you point out, I think that's important. On the one hand, Cuomo is telling us at the state level, New York's actually doing pretty well as a state given what's going on in

much the rest of the country. When it comes to COVID, New York City specifically is great, is doing well, and so they've they've shut indoor dining almost it seems like as a preventative measure, even though they only said one point seven percent of cases come from New York City.

But that preventative measure, I mean, the mentality behind this means as far as I can see, and I've been saying there's going to be another lockdown, which we're in now for six months, yeah, that this will continue until at least April or May. And what do they think

is going to be left? Yeah? Right exactly. Every time that any of these people who support restaurant closures, like talk about their favorite restaurant closing, I just have to fight my tongue because I could just lose it on them, like what do you think is closing these restaurants if not the fact that they can't exist. And the other thing is I went out to a restaurant last week and it was thirty five degrees outside. We sat outside

and it was the heat lamp. And the first hour you're kind of like, okay, you have a drink, you take up her coat, you're under heat lap, You're doing okay. The second hour, I could not feel my toes and it was just I don't know how often I can do that. I don't know how often anybody can do that.

But the thing is, the thing that I really thought as I was sitting there in this restaurant that most of the tables were full outside, is that if these people didn't have this outdoor space to go to, they didn't have a restaurant to go to, they would be somewhere else. They'd be inside, inside their homes. It's not like people are not going to gather. That's it. They're gathering.

This lockdown thing is over. Nobody's following it anymore. It's it's over, and our politicians just have to face it. It's done. Speaking to Carol Markowitz, opinion columnist at The New York Post, she's got a piece up on New York's restaurant killing rules, and I just would wonder, you know, how we are how are we doing right now with schools. I mean, I know that we'd be in a break anyway,

but give me an update on the status of the schools. Well, you know it, it was a really splashy story when schools reopened in November, because actually in December, sorry early December, because dolde Blasio said, Okay, now we're going to reopen schools after closing them for really no reason at all, and we're going to move to a full time model. And I almost fell down on the floor. We're moving to a full time school model. Wow, that's amazing, and

it was so believable because it's totally not happening. No, very few schools are opening full time. The insanity and ineptitude behind all these decisions. When they Blasio made that announcement, he got his headlines. But almost no school that I know of is going full time because they just don't have the space to keep social distancing and and do full time. And my concern, honestly is already not even

for this year. I sort of think this year is done and schools are not going to improve, and they're not going to open for any longer length of time than they are right now. My concern is September. My concern is and still the kids won't have a vaccine. There's not even trials yet for kids under twelve, So what's going to happen if they still have the social distance? I mean that elementary school kids are starting to be going to school at most two or three days a week,

and it's really just not a path forward. This is I mean, it's it's stunning, and it's honestly pretty saddening just to even think about this, But I think it's important. I think everyone needs to know that. This is why he keeps saying, you know, the closing restaurants. Now they tell you it's for a couple, There's no way it's only for a couple of weeks, because once once they've got the closure, they don't want to be the ones.

You know, it's much much more politically dangerous in their minds, forget about any health danger, politically dangerous to reopen the middle of winter and then there's a spike and then it's on you. So once they get closures, once they get these rules in place, the overwhelming momentum is going to be you know, everything that they're doing to us right now and everything they say they may still do to us, they're going to carry that all the way

through the winter. And you know, and as I say, it, really April or May as when we'll start to be told, oh, maybe you can have some normalcyback, even with the vaccine out there. Because remember the vaccine is going to take time. Everyone knows that. But also they have created a near zero risk tolerance in the public perception right for what we can do, and the vaccine doesn't bring the risk to zero. And you know, the other thing I've been just talking about a lot lately is that our pathetic

New York City politicians are not standing up to Clomo. Again. Our restaurants is the only restaurants closed, and in a lot of cases, our schools are the only schools closed, and most of the suburban areas schools are open full time. It is all under you know, on Cuomo's watch, and none of our pathetic, useless steet warming politicians who will not stand up for our city are saying a word about it. You know, the these councilmen going to these

protests for restaurants without not protesting to open the restaurants. No, they're they're protesting to get a federal bill out for the restaurants. Or another councilman in Brooklyn is really into getting insurance companies to pay for these restaurants. They're basically like someone else has to pay. And that's where they are. They're not saying, let's open these restaurants. They're saying, so much,

give these people money. We should have a rent free you that's the other great idea which I have rent free and just passed the pain along to landlords because you know we're gonna approtest for them in three months. You think they're going to do about evictions, I'm not sure what they can do about it right now. Commercial

evictions can still go on. I think they're trying to pressure Governor Como would have stopped that, which is you know, it's such a tough spot because obviously if the landmour is not getting paid, they could figure it out with themselves. With the restaurant, they can the restaurant can maybe have a payment plan, or they can negotiate the rent down, because it's not like somebody else is coming into the space.

Right now, we're speaking of Carol Mark Whit's got a great column the New York Post on what's happening to the restaurant and hospitality industry in New York City because of these honestly, just in some cases absurd and frivolous rules and regulations that are being instituted. It's just it's just nonsense. But but Carol, are you are you beginning to hear a little more from your Brooklyn Night I'm

a Manhattanite. Are you hearing more from from Democrats or seeing any willingness on their side to say Because for a while, as long as this was about Trump, it didn't matter. It didn't matter how much we suffered anything else. It was you can't give into this. The anti lockdown thing and Trump were intertwined. Now I look around the city, I'm like, have you guys had enough yet? This really isn't about Trump? Do you see any change in mentality?

Or they really think in Saint Fauci we trust. The only thing I've seen is shift on is school because the New York Times, the Atlantic, they all sort of made it okay to shift your position on schools. But they still don't care about the science of whether people are catching this at restaurants, which again they're not. And I don't know what it will take. I really don't. I call these full the pajama class because they're sitting at home and their pajamas, getting paid on their laptops, like,

and they don't care what's going on around them. And it's really bad that they are unable to see their neighbor's pain and the way that their livelihoods are being destroyed for no reason. I think first to say, let's close restaurants if there was evidence that restaurants were contributing to like a high spread, But there just isn't. And again, anybody going to a restaurant is probably hanging out with the same people at home anyway, So shutting down indoor

dining is just moving it indoors to other locations. Carol Marco, It's Carol and the New York Post. Great writing, Thanks so much for joining you, Thank you so much for having me. We mentioned Deblasio before. What is he really focused on? What is Deblasio focusing in on right now? Where does what does he think his energy in his time should be spent. I like to say, very bluntly, our mission is to redistribute wealth. A lot of people bristle at that phrase. That is, in fact phrase we

need to use. We have been doing this work for seven years to more equitably redistribute resources throughout our school system. This guy, this buffoon, is giving Marxism lectures while the city of New York is in desperate straits. That's really what he's doing, redistribute the wealth. This guy thinks he is on a mission from on high although I don't know what higher power he believes in one or the other.

But this is a guy thinks that his purpose in life isn't to make New York the crown jewel of American cities and the greatest city in the world, which I think it has been for a long time. I mean, I love this place. Don't get me wrong. I keep coming back. I've moved twice to DC and I said I've had enough. I want to go back to New York. I love New York City. My family is here. This place is a part of me. It's been a huge

part of my life, and I've never felt before. I mean, yeah, after nine eleven, we got hit badly, but we rally and we knew once we got almost a year past nine to eleven, and if you look at where we are now, you know, almost a year past the pandemic to where we would have been a year past nine

to eleven. You know, we rallied, and yet it was a terrible loss, and we had to come together and support you know, NYPD and FDNY after the losses that they suffered, and friends and members and family members of our community. But we knew, we rallied. We knew we were coming back to as a city and as a country, and there was that mentality of they're they're not going to shut us down. They're not going to stop us from being who we are with this, with this, with

this pandemic as it plays out here. I look around and I say, there are a lot of people who don't really see the restrictions and the destruction of the economy and of social and cultural life, and they don't see that as an urgent problem. They liked the control and they like the belief that they're saving lives by being the busybodies that are up in your face telling you wear a mask. They think that that's really the great contribution that they're making to this. All you do

is wear a mask. You're a good person, not one of those bad people. And look, I wear a mask. I have to, and I'm very I wear fresh masks, I washed my mask. I'm very judicious about it because I have to be, because you have no choice here. So don't don't think that I'm walking around. I went through a period over the summer where it was just absurd, and there's so few cases in New York City. Yeah, and then everyone's complaining I was the unmasked guy walking

around my building. And what I wasn't sitting in rooms with people for a long period of time, but just walking past them for ten seconds. You know that. And now here we are end up Blasio to bring this all full circle. The Blasio is out there talking about Marxism. He used the destruction of New York City as we know it as an opportunity. You have to remember that we have the enormous vacancy issue on all these hotels. I mean, who wants to stay in a New York

City hotel right now? You want to go stay one of those big hotels near Times Square? You know, I don't think a lot of people are excited about that. And and never mind all the commercial real estate that is not getting us right now, and they're saying they want to switch it to residential. In some cases they're looking at changing the zoning to do that. You know

what Deblasio is gonna want to do. He's gonna want to create, He's gonna want to take, He's gonna jack taxes up on people who are you know, earners, and he's gonna try to take and take as much money as he can to subsidize other people's housing. And I think his real plan down if he can, if he's got time to do it before he has to leave office, will be to set up as much subsidized housing in some of these office spaces as he can, whether it's

middle income housing or however. The New York then nyc HA is going to do it, but they'll set up something, They'll set up some subside housing. I mean, Deblasio really thinks that a poorer, more dangerous New York City is an opportunity to yes, you guessed it, redistribute the wealth, as if that's going to make this place better, as if that's going to improve things like that's why people show up in New York, to have some idiot Marxist in charge telling them what they can and can't do.

I have to tell you there's a school on the Upper east Side, and it was I knew the school a little bit when I was growing up. I knew people went there. I went to Regis, which was also in the Upper east Side. Regis was the Catholic Scholarship school on eighty fifth Street. This school was just a few blocks away in eighty nine Street, the Dalton School, I've got to tell you this little break from on

the COVID talk. I've got to tell you about the list of They're saying it was a starting port for negotiations, but it's really a list of demands for faculty members there of the school and what it has to do. This the same kind of woke and social justice focus that guides the minds of someone like a build a Blasio on display at a school that's a fifty I think it's fifty four thousand dollars a year tuition for

the first grade. We're not even talking about I mean there's a high school too, But you got you got eight year olds, nine year olds. Parents are writing over fifty thousand dollars checks so they can learn their ABC's. You're in the Freedom Hunt. This is the Buck Sex and Show podcast. This one is for the parents out there and for a wall for anyone, for the kids that are listening. Probably two That and my mom tells a story around the family dinner table when we celebrate

my birthday every year. That I am now a syndicated radio host on over one hundred and eighty stations, and I've filled in for the biggest radio shows in the country with success in turn of the listenership and the response to Rush Limbaugh to Sean Hannity to Glenn Beck that the three biggest and best shows on the radio right now from the syndication perspective. So I've done all that, and I think it's worth noting for everybody that I am somebody who started out with a whole lot of

trouble talking. I was a kid who had a speech impediment. I always forget the exact but it's essentially a pronunciation defect. There was a more official speech therapist term for it. But I was somebody who just heard words one way and mispronounced them. And this was really embarrassing. As a kid, I actually mispronounced believe it or not, I mispronounced my own name, and yes I would. I would tell people

my name was I would tell people. And I was a little kid, you know, seven and six seven years old my name was butt. And you can imagine that that did not go over well with my years. And I was very aware. And I also I had to have speech therapy lessons as a kid, and so this is about the second or third grade speech therapy lessons.

And I also had to have additional outside tutoring because I was falling behind, probably because I lacked confidence in a lack of confidence in all the different areas of academics at that, you know, writing and trying to begin reading and things like that. And my mom, who is a superstar champion mom of the universe, never gave up on me, and my dad encouraged me, and they stuck through it with me. And by the time I got to the fifth grade, I was the top student by

far in my class. By the time I got to the eighth grade, I got a full scholarship to a private high school in New York. It was one hundred thousand dollars scholarship. So stick by your kids and those you're listening to this. If you got any trouble in school, you have a speech impediment, you have to stutter, stay on it, stay grade, stay proud, keeper shield high. You're in the Freedom Hut. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. I was a kid making fun of Dalton kids because

you know, all that school rivalry stuff. We were in the same neighborhood. I never thought I'd be on radio later on talking about how crazy the Dalton school has gotten, but This is indicative of the whole woke mindset that this is just it's an example. I want to be clear about this, but it's one that this could be any corporation. Any company these days has training like this city employees in different places, as seen by some of

the work that mister Christopher rufo of. I think he's with the Manhattan Institute, but the work that he's done to show that people get this anti racism training as part of being a municipal employee in places like Seattle, you get anti race racism. Isn't the absence of racism. You see, they're escalate the rhetoric changes for a purpose. This is not just because people are bored in the social justice circles. They're actually doing this for a reason.

So they create this demand of anti racism. And what that effectively is is that it means you have to take affirmative steps. You have to take actions as prescribed to work against racism. It's not enough to just not be racist. You have to do and institutions have to do penance in order to make up for the racism all around them and the racism they benefit from and the racism of history. Now do you ever think that you reach a point where you've done enough of this?

Is there ever such a thing as enough anti racism? Remember not we shouldn't be racist. We all agree on that racism is bad, racism is immoral, this is something else. This is well. Now, there are demands that come from the from the anti racism movement that you have to meet. It doesn't matter what you've done. Like I could sit here and say, well, hold on a second, I'm the I'm the chief financial officer of this company, and uh,

I don't want to do this. I don't want to give into your list of demands because I treat all my employees very well. I advance. You know, I've got African American employees and very senior roles and they're very happy. And I treat everybody as equals and I'm a good person. And the anti racism movement would say no, no, no, no, no, no no. That doesn't matter. You give in to the anti racism demands because of the system around you that's even allowed you, as a white male, to be the CFO.

Don't you see your actions, your decency, your color blindness in the way you treat people. None of that matters to the anti racism movement, because ultimately this is a shakedown, right. Ultimately, this is do as we say or else. It's not about whether you're a good person or your racist or not,

or your institutions racist or not. There's racism everywhere. And the only way that you can be absolved of the constant original sin of existing as a white American today who does not take part in the anti racism movement is to take part of the anti racism movement. There's no other way. There's there's no other option. And now this brings me to the Dalton School. I mean, this is kind of hilarious. This place is a bastion of

ultra elitism. I'm just going to say this right now because I knew a lot of these kids growing up. And I also went to a college that a lot of Dalton kids like to go to, or a fair number of them want to go to, and you know, aspire to go to. And I just tell you there are plenty of kids that go to Harvard and go to you know, Princeton and Stanford and all these schools who don't have parents paying fifty four thousand dollars a year to send them to school, and this is just nuts.

It's just not worth it. I mean, if you're if you're so rich that money has very little meaning. I mean, I guess maybe, and it creates this sort of social connection. But a lot of a lot of kids who go to these kinds of these kinds of super fancy private schools. And again I know, and many of them were friends

of mine or people that I knew growing up. They don't end up been very much they they end up I mean, if mom and dad have so much money that they can buy their way through life, maybe, but that's a lot of money, right, That's that's a very high bar. Anyway, the Dalton School list of demands, and this comes after remember Meghan Kelly is very very high profile removal of her children from the Collegiate School, which was a rival of my school, Saint David's, growing up.

So I know the Collegiate School very well. Meghan Kelly, formerly of Fox News, now you know, does her own projects. She pulled her child out publicly, just said I'm pulling my kid out, and I believe it was over, Although I don't know if she really got into this much yet, I believe it was over this sort of transgender and gender identity training that was being look that they were trying to brainwash her son into Collegiates, an all boys school.

I don't even you can't even say that anymore. Collegiate is a school of self identified male gender individuals. But she pulled her student out daltin very similar place. Here's this stuff that they want. I mean, this is where you really get into the why is this getting so much attention? Now? Apparent leaked a memo and it's a list of demands. One hundred and twenty nine faculty and staff members signed this. That's most of the faculty and staff at the Daltins school. I can tell you that.

All right, that's a big chunk of I mean maybe they've got two hundred and faculty ins that maybe, I don't know, that would be a lot. I mean, one hundred and twenty nine is going to be almost everybody. So the faculty and staff signed this thing. They attest to this, and this was given out to parents, and here are some of the demands laid out. They want twelve diversity officers. That's right, they want twelve adults paid. I'm sure a very competitive salary for something that they

think that anyone could do. Twelve adults, probably paid all in the six figure range, whose only job is to go around this school which does not have I mean, I find out how many student only has a few with the high school, probably five hundred kids in the

whole thing and something like that. But this school is going to have twelve people and twelve adults whose only job is to go around and effectively find racism and lack of race equity in the school in the way that it's it's doing, you know, whatever it is that it's doing, whether we're talking about academics or anything else. That's a lot of diversity. I mean, I think one diversity officer is too many, because why do you need

diversity officers? Can people just you know, if the school wants to make a play to be very diverse, the admissions committee can do that and they can have that as part of their ethos, and you need someone to monitor that well. Having a diversity officers part of the diversity. That's part of the whole diversity apparatus. You understand, it's not just about the students. You got to also have some adults who are diversity officers, who, of course themselves

are generally going to be from a diversity pool. They're going to be from hired from disadvantage minority groups. That's the way this works. This was a great one. Fifty percent of all donations to the Dalton School which has in ultra wealthy, a lot of hedge funders as parents, a lot of you know, very very famous, the other billionaires who send their kids to Dalton, and fifty percent of all donations to the schools have to be rerouted

to public city schools. So they want to take If you give a check for a million dollars to Dalton, which people usually do, so that there are other kids can get into Dalton, that's the whole game. But if you give your check for a million dollars to Dalton, now the faculty and staff of that school one half of that money to go to the public school system, forced to force donation. How well do you think that's gonna And let me all study this. Dalton's very liberal.

It's a very liberal school, very liberal parents. You're not gonna find it. You're not gonna find a lot of buck Sexton listeners among the Dalton parents, that's for sure. They're all they're all watching you know Anderson, Cooper and Tapper and matt Ow and what reading the New York Times libs, you're gonna have a ninety percent plus of them are going to be Libs. Dalton's a very very left wing school in that regard rich but left wing elites,

but Democrats or Democrat elites here. So the fifty percent donation thing, that was pretty amazing. And this one was interesting.

This is according to the Daily Mails right up of this, all AP classes advanced basement placement classes would be eliminated by twenty twenty three if student scores weren't racially equal, so they would get rid of all AP scores unless minorities were scoring as high as their white and I assume their Asian counterparts in these classes, because it gives an unfair advantage in the college admissions process that some kids get fives and fours on APS and some kids

get twos and threes. It's out of five by the way, the Dalton School, Yeah, that's right, they want to get rid of AP class and that goes on and on. Oh wait, here's more, overhaul the entire curriculum. This is from the actual list of demands and add required courses. That explicitly center black liberation and challenges to white supremacy. Reduce tuition for black students whose photographs appear in school

promotional materials. Pay students of the school if a photo of the students is used in a pamphlet about the school for black students, nothing is said about other students. Mandatory community and diversity days to be held throughout the year. Required anti bias training to be conducted every year for all staff and parent volunteers. Mandatory minority representation in elected

student leadership roles. That's right, they're going to have a quota within the student government that has to be filled of minority students. Mandatory diversity plot lines in school plays. Hiring of multiple psychologists with specialization on the psychological issues affecting ethnic minority populations. And it just goes on. Oh, and require public anti racism statements from all employees annually,

officially in writing, bend the knee to this lunacy. These are the requirements you want to work at the Daltins. You know who was the headmaster of the Dalton School. Fun fact, long time ago to give you a sense of how much that place has changed, Bill Barr, the Attorney General of the United States was the headmaster a long, long time ago at the Dalton School. One another fun fact or interesting fact. You know who was while Bill Barr was the headmaster, which I think you can now

it's like principal or they Calton. They can't say headmaster, but they used to be headmaster of the Dalton School. You know who was one of his math teachers, one Jeffrey Epstein. We were all told to believe beyond a reasonab Without killed himself even though he was in a high security prison under surveillance constantly. Okay, so yeah, Dalton has some famous faculty alumni, that's for sure. Now I

understand a lot of you. You're like, well, my kid goes to a grade school out in Bergen County, or my kid goes to a grade school out out in Suffolk or something. I get that. Do you feel like does this really and you know when someone's going to fifty four thousand dollars a year factory of elitism and pomposity, which is what Dalton really is. That's right, I'm taking some shots at it. Remember I went to read this

scholarship school, Thank you very much. My dad had to send me to school the first week of school with a twenty dollar check, twenty dollars to take for laboratory fees and some kind of a student fee. That's a twenty bucks. Other than that private education four years. It's a great place. So I give read Us a lot of credit as the best twenty dollars anybody could spend. Dalton costs fifty four grands, so that's that's quite a

bit more than twenty bucks. And I think it was an inferior education, but we could argue about at another time. But when you see this happening in a school like that, understand that this is happening at a place where the parents, where you'd think there'd be there's enough financial and educational power among the parents that they wouldn't be forced to deal with this level of lunacy, that the school would

want to protect this reputation in some way. And no, eventually, everyone, eventually, everyone is supposed to bend the need of this stuff. This will come to your child's school. If it has not already, it probably is already there. You just may not be aware of it. Your son or your daughter is being indoctrinated in this anti racism stuff. Sometimes they'll call it anti bias training. Same thing. This is left

wing cultural Marxism. This is left wing identity politics taught as though it is the only way to see the world. And if you doubt it, if you challenge it, you know what they hit you with. You know what your sin is? You fail to join as an anti racist? And what does it mean about you if you're in, If you're not an anti racist, what what do you think? The conclusion is that they want everyone to draw right away, well, if you're not an anti racist, you must be a yes,

All right, our final role call of twenty twenty went a little long in the last one, so it's gonna this is gonna be a shorter role call than I usually would do. But don't worry. We've got so many role calls come to the new year. And also, one thing I will do,

I want to tell you this. I'll try, I'll catch up and I'll be looking through a lot of messages on Facebook, on TikTok, on Instagram. I'm not really going to be posting, and I'm not gonna be doing shows over the Christmas break, but I will be and the show will be reachable. So a message and you know, if you want a few to Lula photos, I'll put some to Lula photos up online to Lula of course

the dog. And yeah, I mean so I'll be looking through messages, so if you send us roll calls, and we'll certainly pick through and grab some to start us off January fourth, when we're back here. And like I said, Michael Pelca is gonna be taken over from me, So there's gonna be a Buck sex and show. It's just Michael Palca guest hosting, and he always does a great job. And Mike is an old friend of mine and just such a such a good dude, and I really think

you should listen to him. dB writes in for roll call, Hey Buck, I want to let you know that I'm truly appalled by our politicians and the people in power. It's disturbing to me that these people feel they are so important that they put themselves in front of the people who they supposedly serve. When I watch AOC and her cronies that are not vital, laughing and having fun while getting their shots. It discuss me to my core. To put yourself before doctors, nurses, the sick and dying,

the elderly, and those who really need the shot. Should show all Americans who they really are and what they care about. Simply disgusting. I voiced my opinion. Oh yeah, the governor of California and Cuomo are garbage. I'm happy I live in Florida. Love the show. Peace Scott dB thanks AKA Scott, thanks so much man. Great of you to write in. I appreciate it, and I agree with you on the governors. And I also think it's absurd AOC didn't need that shot. That's just there's no justifications.

I don't care what the government policies. It's dumb. TJ writes Buck. What do you think about Ted Cruise's proposal for Trump to send the Iran Nuclear Deal and the Paris Accords to Congress so that the Senate can officially veto them as national treaties and thereby nullify any advances that Biden may try to make on them when he gets into office. Also, what are some other powers or deals that Trump could give or send back to Congress to further limit the power of the executive branch before

Biden takes office. What do you think. I think that's a great idea. I love this. Send the treaties to the Senate to get to see the Senate vote on them, and then that becomes the record. I think that's brilliant. I think the people on Capitol Hill who came up with this deserve a giant high five, and we should absolutely do it. It would be very very very very helpful. And friends, that's gonna be it for us here Man

twenty twenty. We were in this together. Have a great holiday season, Mary, Christmas, Happy Honkka, Happy New Year, Shields High. Thanks for listening to The Bus Sesson Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcast, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcasts.
