Corona Panic Is Spreading

matters with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake Grant American again. The buck Sexton Show begins. Analyst. Remember so the Democrats will say, you don't say good things about Fidel Castro. He destroyed freedoms in that country. He played picks, winners and losers and killed them and put them in prison forever. You don't give him a pat on the back for anything. Don't. It's not a quite truth? Is truth? All right? Now?

If you want to disagree with me that somebody wants to say that, and badly, all of those congress people that you mentioned just so happened to be supporting other candidates just accidentally, no doubt incidentally. But you know the truth is the truth, and that's what happened in the first he is of the Castro regime. Truth is truth is the answer you get from Bernie Sanders there, Welcome

to the Buck Sexton Show, everybody. You would think that Bernie Sanders might take the offer amp here that CNN was clearly clearly providing him right that he could walk away from his comments about the literacy program. By the way, the literacy of the Cuban people went from somewhere in the mid seventy percentile range to like maybe ninety percent.

And that was at the cost of the enslavement of the entire island, the appropriation of not just rich people, but middle class people's property, indoctrination programs, massed attention, mass executions, torture, brutalization,

and o yes, huge numbers of people risking death. As a Cuban immigrant to this country, now a proud American had explained it to me, Always remember that people were not just willing to risk their own lives, but fathers, mothers were willing to get on rickety rafts, homemade homemade rafts, and risk the possibility of watching their children drowned before them or their children could eaten by sharks. That's how desperate they were to get off of this island that

Bernie Sanders thinks had a great literacy program. Now we're not overstating this. This is no longer that point in conservative media where you say, come on, is this meant to just get a rise out of people or is there a little bit of media exaggeration going on here? We have a socialist who is now on a glide

path to becoming the Democrat nominee for the presidency. And not only does he not hide the fact that he's a socialist, is quite open about it, obviously, but he won't even repudiate his previous warm comments about some of the most awful totalitarian regimes on the planet. And this guy wants to be in charge of the executive branch of the United States government in less than a year.

I think it's a big deal. I think we can all view this as something that is worthy of our attention in our time and just remember this as scary as it is. The Democrat corporate media, the CNN, MSNBC, New York Times, Washington Post industrial complex, dope, I'll find some way to push Sanders on us. They don't care anybody but Trump, anyone who they think will give them some of what they want, even if it means a complete abandonment of some of the core principles of this

country for now, well really since the beginning. I mean, if you look at individual rights and constitutional constitutional restraint on government, and then you look at what the Sanders administration is already proposing to do, it's effectively at war with the founding principles of this country. It wants to turn us into a Oh that's right, kind of like what Obama said, fundamentally transform the country. That was his promise, and now Sanders looks to finish finish that process. This

is troubling, to say the least. It's something that we should take very seriously. We have to take it very seriously. Bernie Sanders also takes all the wrong lessons from history and from other model rolls around the world, all of the wrong models. He somehow has managed to spend his entire adult life distilling the incorrect lessons of state control, authoritarianism, intervention by government authorities into markets, all the wrong lessons.

That's really his magic power is to always he's like Joe Biden on foreign policy, to always get it wrong. Bernie Sanders on the market and on what creates wealth and prosperity for all people always gets it wrong. All he knows how to do is class warfare agitation. He doesn't even know how to implement that class warfare agitation. You have to remember that he hasn't even had experience

at the controls. He's just a loud voice on the corner yelling about millionaires and billionaires and oligarchus, and you're gonna have free this and free that, and they're all gonna be paid for by the rich. Except we know everyone's going to pay for it. There aren't enough people to pay for the things that Bernie said. Sanders says that he wants. I've had a number of jobs in the private sector, and the people that I have worked for, at least the owners that the companies I've worked for,

they have been wealthy. I've never had a I've never had a job that Bernie Sanders would offer me. Right, I've never worked for somebody who Bernie Sanders would be able to do anything other than extract from. So his demonization of the people that are actual job creators is counterproductive. In the most clear and the most the most evident ways. He simply does not care though he's going to continue with this, and he also knows that he has to bow to the wokeness of the left, which I suppose

is unsurprising. Here's what he says about who is vice president, for example, will be plick clip ten. But your question is about a vice presidential part of the ticket, and yes, the answer is we will do that. But it's a little bit presumptuous right now. I will tell you one thing, though, you know, is that person will not be an old white guy. That I can say defend in all seriousness that our cabinet and our administration will very intentionally look

like America. I think it's important that all of our people see themselves reflected in the administration of the president of the United States, and we will absolutely do that. This from a guy who is really the oldest of white guys running for the presidency from what is I believe, the whitest single state in the United States. But now he's mister diversity because he thinks he has to be

in the Democratic primary. So the media can go along with all this and look like they're not out whatever principles they pretend to have How's he going to pay for all this? We'll figure it out. I mean this has really become a common talking point on the left. How are you gonna pay for a hundred trillion dollars?

It'll come from somewhere. Keep in mind, right now people might have to consider the possibility that we are facing because of because of manufacturing, manufacturing stoppages and supply chain shortages, a change in global GDP as a result of coronavirus. That's a that's a real concern. I don't know if it will have him, and that's a real concern. And you also have twenty three trillion dollars or so of

US debt already piled up. There are economic ramifications that are happening all the time from that, and Bernie Sanders is just saying, let's just make it one hundred trillion dollars. I mean, he is walking into a room full of flammable material and he's got a blamethrower in his hands, and he's just saying, what could go wrong? This is really something that we all have to take very seriously.

I did not think if Joe Biden became president, you weren't going to have you know the massive destruction of wealth that you would have under a Sanders presidency. Let's understand this. I mean Biden would have you know, he would have done some bad Democrat things, and I wouldn't certainly would have been as good as Trump nowhere near it, but you know, he'd sort of go with what the corporate interests and the Democrat donor class wants on some things.

Bernie Sanders, it's not clear that the corporate donor class can control him at all. And it's also not clear that he even really understands the ramifications of what he says he wants to do. He's claiming, for example, that we'll just figure out how to pay for things when we decide that we're gonna pay for them. Play twelve mark. There's a lot of detail in here. You can look forward for yourselves on the website. It is not matching the price tag that some put it about thirty trillion

dollars for the Medicare for All transition. You do have lots of different ideas in here. I'm not saying you don't, but you get about halfway. There's the question becomes, how do you get the rest of the world You know there was a slutty Chris. I don't know if you have to see it. I don't know. If that hatie trillion over ten years, how do you get there? The math doesn't add up. He can pretend that it adds

up as much as he wants to. I mean, Bernie Sanders in a saner era where the left has not had the ability to organize and galvanize via digital and social media, and where the corporate media hasn't just become a bunch of absolutely spineless cowards who just don't want to be called you know, don't want to be called racist, don't want to be called sexist, and we'll play along

with his class warfare game. I mean, that's the funniest thing about about the CNN and MSNBC, an ABC same deal, that that these networks have all these people that go on TV who are multi multi millionaires getting paid to do a job. A thousand other people could replace them in tomorrow and do just as good of a job.

But they're friends with the right people, and they like their little privileged positions, and they act like Bernie Sanders is not crazy because their audience, or a substantial portion of their audience now wants to believe that, so they'll just play along. I thought journalists are supposed to speak truth to power. I thought, especially if you're super rich journalist who's been in the game a long time, shouldn't

he be willing to take a stand. Why haven't you seen a single anchor at cn whos when it come out and spell, Look, Bernie Sanders is a commy and he's going to destroy the US economy. We all know that they won't say it. They're cowards. They're cowards. What do they risk, Oh, their readings won't be as high. Oh maybe they won't get invited to the fanciest parties in the Hamptons this summerse people are the worst. They

really are. I mean, at least the the trolls that work at some of these other you know, the Salon dot Com and some of these other places, you know, Slate. You know, they're all all these writers living in Brooklyn who think that they're changing the world by being snarky idiots all day long. At least you can say for them, they gotta they gotta keep the hustle going so they can pay the bills. But some of these people you see in the big the big three letter news agency

and corporate media that they got no excuse. There's there's no reason for them to be such whims except that they're they're they like their privileged positions, and they won't speak the truth. Not only do the American people forget that, they will not speak the truth to their Democrat audience. You know, there have been all these editorials about how about how journalism and the era of Trump means taking

oppositional positions? They really write this. This has been a common theme, oppositional positions to Donald Trump, because that's what truth is. To be true, you must be opposed to Trump. Well, I'm sorry, but if you are any of the mainstream journal Darling's out there and you don't know that Bernie Sanders would wreck the US economy, you're a more on.

But what's worse is I think most of them recognize it, but they're too cowardly, They're too wimpy to possibly alienate some of their audience by saying, now, look, say what you will about conservatism. There are a lot of people that were willing to speak out incorrectly it turned out about Donald Trump. But they during the primary, they said their peace these Democrats, these big journals. They're just going along for the ride. Man. They're just like, yeah, okay,

you know, maybe it's gonna be Sanders. We know they're all activists. So what I'm trying to say is that they are accessories. They are accomplices in the socialism surge of the Democratic Party is going through right now. They could do something to try to slow it down, but they won't. So just remember that they've been pretending for years that they're so concerned about authoritarianism. They're so concerned

about an overly powerful executive branch official. And Bernie Sanders is walking around saying I'm I'm gonna take your money, I'm gonna make you do things. I'm gonna be in charge of everything. And it's just gonna be executive order. Where's the where's the outrage? Where is it? No? Instead, they give him the Chris Quomo. You know, come on,

come on, hey, it's pro cuomo. Come on, I mean, you know, you know, really you're not really gonna be you know, you're really gonna be like doing that thing you said you're gonna do about the thing, right, I mean, come on, you don't really think that, like, you know, Cuba Castro. I mean, come on, right, it's not it's not it's not great. Just tell us it's not great and we can talk about how great you are. He's like, Nope, literacy program equals could Truth is truth. This is what

you're up against. He's a radical. He's a radical. And keep in mind, I mean, and I'm not trying to say this in a way that's you know, ungallant or anything, but I mean, he's Bernie Sanders feels like he got he's got nothing to lose. Remember this. I mean, he either you know, he either wins this race and is in a position to fundamentally transform America or he gets

to go down fighting. I mean, Bernie Sanders is not planning to have what I'm what I'm saying here is he's not gonna have another twin years of political career. So he's a guy who thinks he's playing with house money, your money. You're in the freedom hunt. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. I happen to believe that Debaclissy not authoritarianism, but you know, you can't say. China is another example, all right, China is an authoritarian country becoming

more and more authoritarian. But can anyone deny. I mean, the facts are clear that they have taken more people out of extreme poverty than any country in history. Oh boy, this is what I mean. He doesn't even know the basics. How has China been able to do that? Was was

Mao able to do that? I mean was a communist, He was a collectivist, a socialist, and forty to sixty million people starved because of his great ideas greatly forward, forty sixty million people atrocities so horrific because hunger became weaponized as a tool of state control during that period of the Great Famine. And what Bernie Sanders takes from

the lesson of China is not Wait a second. The Chinese authoritarian regime said, let's actually introduce free market reforms and have state sponsored capitalism, which is what China is engaged in, right, state control, state control of free market based activity. I mean that the Chinese government is trying to allow people to run big companies sell their stuff on the global market so that there is wealth. The wealth creation mechanism is the market. This is what Bernie

Sanders doesn't understand. The Chinese government didn't it wasn't able to lift people out of poverty by instituting a higher tax rate. That's not how it worked. Or by promising free healthcare for everybody. That's not how it worked. So he doesn't even in these models that he brings up. He doesn't even And by the way, we always get into this thing of okay, you know, there's the USSR, Venezuela, Cuba, North Korea, and then those are the really really bad

socialist countries. And then you look at what happened in or the left that Bernie Sanders folks will bring up Denmark and Sweden and which are not socialist countries, but they have some socialist sectors in the countries, and they have a large welfare state and high taxation even though

they are free market economies. What about I mean, you get on the list of all the other socialist experiments, socialist countries all throughout Africa and Latin America, and all disasters, all of them are disasters economically basket cases across the board, dozens and dozens of them. Ones you don't even think about it. Who sits around thinking about oh, like, how did socialism work out in Albania? Pretty badly? Ask in Albanian? You know, I mean, either are all these places where

we've run the experiment, it's a bad idea. And not only is it a bad idea, Sanders doesn't understand the places where it was run poorly. And then they started to make things better. Why things got better? Thanks for listening to The bus Essen Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. So what we are calling for is universal childcare. How are you going to pay for this? We have

a tax on wealth to pay for them. For all the people who like the idea of it, they're gonna be a lot of Democrats again who are saying, well, wait a minute. Yet again, this is another program that it's not clear how it's going to get paid for. It's just going to add which is clear how it's going to be paid for it look and to say

more taxes, it's taxes on billionaires. You know, you know, I get a little bit tired of hearing my opponents saying, gee, how are you going to pay for a program that impacts and helps children or working class families or middle class families. How are you going to pay for that? And yet where are people saying, how are you going to pay four of a seven hundred and fifty billion

dollars on military spending? How are you going to pay for a trillion dollars in tax breaks to the one percent of large corporations, which was what Trump did when you helped the billionaires and you help Wall Street. Hey, of course we can pay for That's what America supposed to be about. Well, I disagree all demagoguery, I mean, just all blather. That's what this guy is. He's a

blather machine. By the way. Don't even get me started on if we had to sit down and I tried that this guy wants to be commander in chief and Democrats they were so upset that Trump wasn't the genius scholar that they pretended Obama was. Do we really think that Bernie Sanders could have an intelligent discussion about Oh, I don't know, why did we win the Cold War? Bernie Sanders? Why did the Soviet Union fail? Somebody should ask Bernie Sanders if we had a real press corps,

which we don't. We don't. We have activist Democrats who just like they've taken over universities and faculty lounges. At colleges across the country. They also completely turned journal journalism him into a province of the left. But while they hate talk radio so much, because it was a format where audience got to determine what they were listening to, not a bunch of corporate executives who, with FCC assistance, are able to determine who gets their time where, and

you know what cable channels exist. Who thinks that Bernie Sanders would be able to explain what went wrong in Venezuela. I mean he would just say things like, you know there was corruption, and you know they didn't do a good job, and okay, but why didn't it work? I'm telling you, he could not explain. He couldn't even begin to explain it. What's scary years that Bernie Sanders isn't even a smart socialist. This is this is what I really feel like I have to say say to you.

There are very clever socialists. In fact, for most of his adult life and probably close to up until the end. You know, Christopher Hitchins, who was one of my favorite writers, even though he's a rabbit atheist and unfair to the Catholic Church, and there was a lot of stuff that I didn't agree with them on. But in terms of writing talent, the guy was exceptional. He was really good at the craft of writing and was also very engaging at argument and would and would argue with whomever wanted

to argue. And I mean he wasn't you know these other people, these these CNN anchors and the MSNBC talking heads, these people are cowards. They never actually put themselves in a position to have a real argument. But Higins was a socialist. He's a very smart one, though, so he would explain to you why, and he would get it.

He was He would consider himself a Trotskyite, which I don't even know how much Bernie Sanders could explain to you about the difference between let's say, Trotsky versus being a Leninist and the split there and what happened, although that is probably his favorite part of history, so maybe he does know a bit about it. Does Bernie Sanders? Is he somebody who could speak about what's in Dusk Capital.

I'm not even sure what I'm saying to you that Bernie Sanders understands the foundation of the ideology that he is now the single most powerful representative of in the United States, and with that, in a sense, among the most powerful socialists in the world. He is representing a

resurgence of this ideology. And I think that we're in the midst of this resurgence in part because of the great success of the opponents of socialism, the capitalist impulse that has been on display in this country for well, depending on how you want to define it, let's just say in the post World War two era, because socialism was ascended during the Great Depression. That was when all of a sudden the storyline and journalists were favorable to it.

By the way, man, I mean the most elite journalists in the country. Lots of journalists thought that the Soviet Union had figured all this out. They bought into the propaganda. The same dumbasses who write for the biggest newspapers that are on the biggest cable news shows in the country today, who think that Jesse Smollett was telling the truth or they did think that. You know, you go back to Walter Duranti, you go back to the famine Ukraine and Nope,

nothing going on there. They just believe they're either lied or believe the propaganda about there not being a faminine. I think it was nineteen thirty four to nineteen thirty five. The Ukrainians called it the Whole of the Moor or Just and it was another weaponized famine, talk about state control, enforced deprivation and desperation. Sanders is not even a clever socialist.

He's a pure demagogue, the same way that Joe Biden has been just repeating, almost like a robot, whatever he thinks he has to say at any point in time to have the greatest appeal to voters. In that sense, he's a He's a pure cynical politician. And that's Biden's whole career. What I have to say to keep getting elected in the state of Delaware, What do I have to say to be in the good grace of the

Democratic Party? That's what I will say. I mean, the man doesn't seem to stand for anything other than Joe Biden. Bernie Sanders is what do I have to say that will appeal to the class warfare instincts and the underlying socialist impulse that has always existed in America but now is ascended. I was saying before it was ascended and after the Great Depression, because there was a sense that there was the narrative. The storyline was that capitalism has

failed and that that's why the Great Depression. The capitalism was a failure and we were going to enter a new phase. And they looked around, they saw all the desperation and figured, well, the government must be able to save us. So they wanted to turn to government. And the Soviet Union was pretending if things are much better there than it was. Okay, now we're in a different position where capitalism has created so much abundance. We are

so blessed in this country right now. We're so full of the riches and the wages of a free market system that rewards individual ingenuity and hard work and dedication and yes, luck, to be sure, all all good things in life requires some degree of luck. But we have a system where we walk around now with greater ability to communicate, to buy things, have our our health taken care of. I mean, food is orders of magnitude better, and I mean everywhere, everywhere you go food is better

than it was even when I was a kid. This stuff we eat is better are the I mean you walk into a grocery store anywhere in America and the variety and abundance and quality is mind blowing, especially compared to what you would have seen not a hundred years ago, but circa nineteen ninety in Moscow. You know, go you go online to see photos of it. You know, there's like one type of pickled beet and one kind of can,

and then a lot of empty shelves. I mean that's what and you know maybe some some powdered milk that you're not sure if it's been around since you know, Cruise Shovel was in office. I mean, that's what people were dealing with there. What was the difference that we didn't have enough socialism? Was that? Was that? Is that why we have so much more? We didn't have enough socialism? Or is that socialism is a bad idea? Everybody should

be very concerned about this. But the Democrats, you see, they're so obsessed with power, and they're so deluded in their Trump hatred that they'll go along with this. They'll go along with that, they have to a lot of the Democrat establishment is still hoping that there'll be some you know, late surge from Biden or we'll get into Biden in a second. I really mean Biden is he's not up for this. He's not up for it. They can keep pretending, but it is now clear that campaign

is a crucible. I mean, the campaign is an obstacle course for physical and mental endurance for the people that want to be the next commander in chief and chief executive the United States government. And Biden is falling into the mud pit and walling around and not going to make it to the end. And everybody who's being honest sees it. But there's this situation right now. Is it going to be Is it going to be Bernie Sanders really be Sanders? Huh? He talked about childcare there you

know who else had. And by the way, this is not an unfair comparison, because I want to I want to tell you what I think the real goal should be. The real goal of the US economy should be something that even Elizabeth Warren wrote about years and years ago, which was the two parent income trap. The two parent income trap is something that means you have two parents that feel like they have to go out of the workplace. Now it's too difficult because there has been I know

there are problems. I know this is not perfect. You know, I did not get an advanced degree because it was too expensive. I got into fantastic places, gooding out. A master's degree would have been great, actually, all kinds of different master's programs. I thought about getting a Security Studies masters at one point too, and I basically have walked into from the CIA to any program I wanted. But the point is I didn't do it because it was

too expensive. Healthcare, housing, housing where there are jobs, and education have become too expensive. These are also some of the most regulated, government intensive sectors of the economy. Somehow we have government backing student loans and now college that's more and more and more expensive. These universities are just just fattening themselves up. I mean, they're bloated with multi

billion dollars Dowmonds. It's beyond belief what's going on. And healthcare is supposed to get better and cheaper for us, and really a lot of healthcare all you see is it's getting more expensive and less access, more expensive and

less access because they keep intruding on the market. Mechanisms that would the same thing that makes your iPhone a supercomputer that would have more power to do computation than every computer put together in the NATO Alliance, you know, circa nineteen sixty your iPhone has more in it than all all of the countries of NATO combined. And then you know, fifty years ago that same mechanism of the free market, we suppressed that when it comes to healthcare.

We don't want that to happen. We don't think that anybody can come up with better ways to cure people, to treat people if there was a financial incentive for them. No, we'd rather have keep pushing down. The healthcare companies are making too much money. The pharmaceutical companies are making too much money. Well, pharmaceutical companies the people that go to

work for them, they could do something else too. But I want to bring you into back to this daycare that Bernie Sanders is promising for an everybody, because this is important. You're in the Freedom Hunt. This is the

Buck Sexton Show podcast. So I was I mentioned to you the daycare from the daycare proposal from Bernie Sanders, And what we really should want in this country is the ability for a person who is in the has a what we consider a middle class job, to be able to live in a in a metro area where there are jobs, because that's now where the greatest concentration of new jobs tends to happen not in the city necessarily, but around the city, and be able to support a

family on one salary. That would be because we fight against this now. And I'm probably going to start introducing some of the Marxist attacks on the family, because the Marxists have always believed in separating the family, because the family stands in place of the ultimate goal of a true socialist, a true Marxist, which is not just radical equality when you're talking about economics, but a radical equality of all individuals without familial ties interfering with the relationship

with the state. The true socialists believe in the state in place of God. This is at the heart of socialist philosophy. We want a society in this country where people are able to raise their own children, where you don't have to have two parents going to work. And then there's also this other issue of single parenthood in this country. And how I know that things happen and people make mistakes or things, you know, go against them, but single parenthood has been glorified in this country and

the realities of it based on the numbers. Now, that doesn't mean any individual case is good or bad. But based on the numbers, single parenthood is very difficult for the long term prospects for children. And there's it's just it's it's irrefutable, more likely to have a substance abuse problem, the kids more likely to go to prison, less likely to finish high school. Let's lend me every metric. Let's

less income, so you get into okay. Well, but also, I mean if you're at a single parent household, or rather, you know, if Bernie Sanders is advocating for this, you're going to have situations now where people are spending even less time. Now, now no parent will be spending most of the day with the child. It'll be the state. This is a story from The New York Times back in nineteen seventy four. In the Soviet Union, daycare is

the norm. Zoya Edenko is the model of the young Soviet mother, liberated by a local daycare center that permits her to hold a job with her three year old son and a state nursery. She works as a guide for in tourist and sometimes also teaches English at night school. Onto the highly subsidized Soviet daycare system, missus Edenko pays a modest thirteen dollars a month, about one tenth of her pay for six days a week of childcare. She drops her boy off at eight am and picks him

up at seven pm. He gets three meals and a snack daily. Child rearing never had much attraction for missus Edenko. I mean it goes on even more here. She actually throws some shade at America. Quote. Don't American women want to get out of the house, she asked, Don't you want to work? Don't you want to earn money and

get some independence. But privately, many educated Soviet mothers take a much more skeptical view of the Soviet daycare system and regard the competence of most daycare workers as below desirable standards. You don't say the Soviets, who you know, had glass factories that only made broken glass. I'm sure they did a great job educating your kid and taking care of them or her, and making sure that that child felt loved and supported and was getting all the

developmental needs they had met. I'm sure, I'm sure they weren't dropped off in austere, cinder block Soviet style buildings with a bunch of bureaucrats who could care less about anything going on with these kids, and felt like as long as they made their way, you know, as long as at the end of the day no kids left the classroom, you know, in a tiny body bag, they'd pretty much done their deal for the day. Good job,

good job Soviet Union. But notice the trend people have been let you know, we see this deterioration, deterioration in the family, in intact family units. It is. You can read about this all the honor. Social scientists will tell you. Intact families are critical for the development of a child. You want to spend time with your children. And I'm not even getting into the paying for this. I'm getting into we really think that everyone should drop off their

their one year old. That's state daycare. That's now going to be What about fami? What about family members? You know, grandparents, uncles, cousins, whatever it is, people that are invested in the child. This state is not invested in anything other than taking

your money and indoctrinating your children. The same way that adults make a huge error when they think that the state wants to hold them close and keep them safe and warm at night, the same wrong thinking applies when you're talking about dropping off your children in this state daycare program where by the way, if you don't like the state daycare program near you, what do you think happens? Then, Oh, you're gonna go complain to somebody. Yeah, good luck with that.

I'm sure the local daycare commissar under the Sanders administration is really going to care what you think about the fact that the people in charge could give a crap about your children. They just want to get paid with your tax dollars. Thanks for listening to The Bus Sesson Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcast, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. And I don't want to live in a democracy where it's outside you're born

power and attorneys who my leaders are. And that's going to happen more and more, not just in the United States, but you've had experiences here in Germany, experiences across Europe. Come, let's let's face up to the reality that if we don't protect our democracy, we're slowly but steadily surrendering it and the losing control of it. You know what politics is a context for it. I mean people say all sorts of things, because they certainly said all sorts of

things about me. Also, we're than many of our party because blather from Hillary Clinton. She is shameless, utterly shameless. She'll say anything. The fact that Democrats think that she would have been some great choice for the presidency, that she would have been this this ethical paragon, this virtuous leader,

is laughable. She could not be more corrupt. You know, it couldn't be more obvious that there was an effort to suppress what we could all see, which was at the Clinton Foundation was a massive slush fund created for the sole purpose of enriching and empowering the Clintons while pretending to do charitable work. You haven't heard a lot about the Clinton Foundation lately, have you. Those donations all dried up real fast, and Hillary wasn't gonna be presdent anymore.

That's so weird, isn't it. Hm. And it's not like, oh no, it is true that I was at I was at CNN, and I was saying to people on air, we all know the Clinton Foundation is like a fake charity, right, and that the donations will see where they are after the election. And of course I was right. But I

don't know, I don't know what's going on. But she calls the president a First, she repeats the talking points about Russia, which is just now, that is the hallmark of a reckless, stupid, or dishonest person or all of the above. Russia is not picking our leaders. No one really thinks Russia's picking our leaders. This is this is ridiculous.

And if you look back in history, the KGB was involved in paying for our newspapers, involved in information operations against the United States, had high level did have high level penetrations of the United States government, including Alger Hiss, who was a Harvard trained lawyer, that the establishment in

this country flocked around. I mean they circled the wagons to defend Alger Hiss and Whittaker Chambers, as he writes about beautifully in the book Witness, which I recommend to all of you, Whittaker Chambers is like, this guy is a Soviet spy and he works at a senior level of United States Government's a Soviet spy because the left has always had a little bit of They've always had

this special fondness and familiarity with totalitarians and communists. They always have had this because their mentality, their mindset is that if the government only had more power, it would make the problems go away. And they're the smart good people. So if you take the smart good people and you put them in power, then all of a sudden everything

gets better. Whereas conservatives, people like me and those of your listening who are conservative, which is pretty much all of you, we think, no, no, no, we want individual rights, individual liberty to be protected under law, and we want there to be clear restraints on what the government can do because they're also our areas. The government should not do things. It's not even just that we we don't like the idea. There would be negative consequences from government action.

And this is the constant struggle that we have, Dani and in our politics. But for Hillary Clinton to say the Russia stuff, oh, she's she's just atrocious. She's atrocious and we all know it, and they pretend that she well, now they don't really care anymore, but they for years we are told how smart and how capable and how great she is the worst, she is the worst. Okay, no,

I gotta retract that Sanders is probably even worse. So we've we've gone from bad to worse or the worst with Hillary Clinton saying that Trump is a clear and present danger to our demoxy in our future. You know I'm focusing in so much todayn Senators, I want to talk about some of the other Democrat candidates. We have this debate tonight in South Carolina, but the crazy has spread far and wide the Democratic Party. This is not

limited to one candidate or one candidate. Supporters Tom Steyer, he is a billionaire, Which just goes to show you that if you're really lucky in the right place at the right time, you two, even if you have no judgment, no wisdom whatsoever, and really no self awareness, you two can be a billionaire. I suppose this is what a voter or a Democrat obviously in South Carolina said to Tom Steyer and his response, I just I want to give you more evidence that the Democratic Party has spun

off of the planet and they're living in crazytown. Now play a seven. I'm twenty seven years old and I staw buying a house, getting married, and having kids ahead of me. What do you say to people my age and those who are younger, who are frankly terrified of what climbing climate change will due to this planet and our features. So in God on, thank you for asking that question. Look, I am the only person running for president who will say that climate is his or hurt

number one priority, the only one. Go ask him, the only one. And I've said that. I will declare just you know now, a state of emergency on climate on the first day of my presidency, and I will use the executive emergency powers of the presidency to tell companies how they can generate electricity, what kind of cars they can build on what schedule, what kind of buildings we're going to have, how we're going to use our public lands, how the government, which is the biggest buyer fossil fields

in the world, is going to move to clean energy. Yeah, there's a lot, a lot to unpack there. Let's start with a voter, a twenty seven year old woman saying she is terrified of climate change. Be terrified of, you know, making the wrong life choices, Be terrified of pandemic disease, be terrified of the possibility of a major war with China. I mean, there are things to really be concerned about. To be terrified of climate change is to surrender to

a mental illness. Climate change is not coming for us. It's not going to destroy us. It's not going to kill us. This is insane. This really is not reasonable. It's not rational at all. And I think that, you know, they have to assume that I'm I'm somehow the crazy one because I don't think the world is going down.

This is what American politics has done to people. The guy who sits around saying no, no, the human race will not go extinct unless we destroy essentially all the major economic progress we've made in the last hundred years or so. The human race will not go extinct if we don't just give back all of those gains at productivity and life, life expectancy and health and everything. I'm the crazy one because I say that that's not going

to happen. So I feel almost I feel badly, but I also feel very concerned when I hear things like this, because there are things to worry about, and climate change is not one of them. For a young woman to say she's terrified of climate change, what exactly is she terrified? Somebody should ask. I mean, I feel like I should sit down and we could do a like a Sigmund Freud like, So tell me all of your secrets and your thoughts. What are you terrified of? Telling me about

your parents. You know, like this is this is where you'd have to get into some buck pretending to be a shrink, some psychotherapy. You're terrified of a thing that's not going to hurt you in any way, shape or form, of the global temperature changing. That's what worries you so much. But this is like people that used to worry that there was going to be you know, we're gonna run out of food. We're gonna run out of food. That was a belief. You know, you read airlics, the population bomb.

You know, we're going to reach a certain population growth and then we're gonna have huge contraction. Not everyone's going to die, but a huge contractions because we won't be able to sustain it. And now the biggest problem we have globally is people eat too many calories. That's a much bigger concern than people not getting enough calories globally. So, okay,

she's terrified of climate changers, the bizarre. But then the even more concerning part of this, other than that that poor woman's emotional instability, is that Tom Steyer is just saying that he's going to if he becomes president, which I know is never going to happen. But I'm just we're exploring a mentality here that's not just Biden. I'm sorry, not just Bernie, although Biden's got his own problems. The mentality is that once you become president, you just start

doing things. Obama did this, and the media was largely silent about it or encouraged it. You know, Obama's mantra became, Congress won't do what I want, So I'm just going to do with myself as president with an executive order and see if the courts will will stop you. And the courts did a number of times and overturned him for doing unconstitutional things. That was the reality of obama aministration. But you never heard the same thing though, with Trump

is waging war on journalists. Meanwhile, Obama took real action against journalists and use the Espionage Act more than every other president before him combined. But you know, the journalists rowed like one or two editorials they're like, this is a concerning situation. They say that Trump is endangering journalists lives. But oh, this is a concerning situation with Obama with actual trying to prosecute people as co conspirators under the

Espionage actuard journalists. Journalists are frauds. I mean, really, it's funny. I'm in this media profession and I'm not a journalist, and I my contempt for mainstream journalists grows every day. Every day. I feel like I'm more fed up with what a bunch of just total jokes and jerks. They are.

Very few of them provide any real value. They all they all just parrot each other, and they're all just struggling to get more attention for their boring repetition of the talking points of the Democrat Party in the American left. That that's what they're doing all the time. I mean, the ones who are valuable, the ones who are like here's the traffic, here's the weather. Hey, here's a video of some ducks that were saved at the pond by the fire department. Yeah, like that's you know, okay, that's

provide people with something. The ones that just carry the water for the Democratic Party all the time, we don't need that. Just go just go go to the DNC website. But Bernie, but does Styre here saying that he wants to use executive power to con I mean basically to control everything. What kind of cars they can build, what kind of buildings we're gonna have, how we generate electricity.

So when I say things to you like climate change is an excuse for socialist authoritarians to enact policies to control every aspect of your life. That's not you. I'm not coming up without out of thin air. That is what they're doing. That is the idea, that is the approach. So you end up asking yourself, Okay, these people are nuts, and if they're in charge, they're going to just do things forget about the Congress. They're just gonna do things based on their crazy ideas. This is broader in the

Democratic Party. This is not just a problem of Bernie Sanders. That's what I want to do, make sure that we are all on the same page about. And then there's Biden. Oh, Joe Biden. He's probably gonna win in South Carolina. And then the Biden the Bidenistas out there in the media

will says, see here's the front runner. No, and we start to get it into this place where I don't want to be mean about Joe Biden's condition, but health and mental faculties are a legitimate area of discussion for the person who wants to be the president of the United States. And this is not a one off. I mean, this is becoming increasingly. The expectation around Joe Biden is that he's going to have these what you would I think call senior momentum, and this is an example of that.

Here's Joe Biden on the stump doing what he does. Play clip five. You're the one's the same Barack Obama in the presidency and I have a simple opposition here. I'm here to ask you for your help. Where I come from, you don't get far unless you ask. My name's Joe Biden. I'm a Democratic candidate for the United States Senate. Look me over, you're like, we see, help out, and now vote for the other Biden. Give me a

look though. Okay, that's all I really got to say to you, running for Senate, and if you don't like me, vote for the other Biden. That was in one sentence. I mean, if it were one of those things, and he corrected it right away, I mean I misspeak. I do extemper in his radio for four hours a day. Now, I'm going to stumble, I'm going to say things incorrectly. But if I ever said you know my name is

Bob Sexton. I promise you I would change that, I would edit that, I wouldn't say it and then go, yeah, it's good to be Bob. You know, Bob's hanging out. No, you would catch that unless something else is going on. And it wasn't one little slip. It was he's running for president, he's not running for Senate, and there's no other Biden in the race. Yeah, and he just kind

of went on with it. But then again, there's a part of me that feels like maybe the greatest service the Democratic Party the Democrat media can do right now, he used to say, the Democratic Party from a Bernie Sanders nomination. I mean, maybe they're much more cynical about this than I had I had really given them credit

for or anticipated. I think that's also possible that they recognize what a disaster Bernie Sanders would be for the party, and so perhaps some of them, somewhere in their minds feel like if they have to prop Biden up some more, then that's what they're gonna do. That's the best thing they can do for the party. We'll see about Bloomberg. There was a funny me making the rounds today well, I'm sorry. It wasn't a meme. Wasn't a meme? Pardon me, it was a I'm Joe Biden, I'm running for president.

It was a screenshots of the Los Angeles Times, one of the homepages in Los Angeles Times for one of their sections, and the thing that it looked like the Bloomberg twenty website. I mean, just Bloomberg ads all over it. I don't think it was photoshop. That can't I can't tell you right off the bat, but it certainly seemed like it would be real. I mean, Bloomberg is just

blanketing coverage everywhere. I think that one of the one of the nice side effects of a Bloomberg the Bloomberg run for president, is that he is really trying to play. It's almost like he's setting this up as an experiment,

can you buy the presidency? And when he is not successful in doing so, when people on the left, because they always democrats, always pretend like big money is just a Republican thing, when they say we're run money out of politics and you can't buy you know, he's trying to buy this office without office, we can say no, no, Bloomberg tried to buy it. And you can't just do that. The candidate still matters. If you have effectively unlimited funds,

you still can't buy the presidency. But the thing about this, we're in a situation where somebody who is worth fifty billion dollars is spending billions of dollars on a presidential candidacy, and there are still journalists out there, Hillary Clinton, we'll say it too, many of many of the Democrats, that Russia is interfering in the election, and maybe Russia is going to cost one side or the other. We'll make

Trump win. If that's what they're really saying. Even with the billions of dollars being spent by Americans on an American presidential election, if the Russians were able to sway this election outcome, we should just quit tomorrow. We should stop having elections because we'll never be able to have a free and fair election. Again. This is lunacy. This is utter lunacy. You're in the freedom hunt. This is

the Buck Sexton Show podcast. David. One of the things that's so we're interesting and I think sinister about this stuff is that it really does have the impact of trying to increase cynicism and apathy that that's part of its goal to sort of muddy the waters, tell us a little bit about about your insights into that. Well it has it has an effect also on people's affirmative ideas. One of the things that Donald Trump tried to spend spread in twenty sixteen was the idea that Hillary Clinton

was sho physically incapable of managing the presidency. Audacious. Donald Trump was the oldest president ever, one of the fattest presidents ever, the least physically capable of president since Franklin Delano Roosevelt was in a wheelchair. I mean that he can't pick up a ball, never mind throw it. But he was able to put into the minds of tens of millions of people the idea that Hillary Clinton, who's a very vigorous woman in good health, was somehow too

sick to be president. Thanks never Trump for more stupidity. David frum over there who runs away from it. He actually does have some correct positions on things like immigration, immigration where he's thought about a little bit. But Trump is one of the fattest presidents ever. I think it's interesting. I mean, we're going to start talking about that now, Huh. Hillary Clinton flopped into the back of a van on video right before the election, I think, and they pretended

initially like there was nothing going on. She just stumbled, no, she flopped into the back of a van. All Right, you're allowed to wonder what's going on there? That wasn't you know that it wasn't some huge conspiracy from Trump. But as you see here, never Trump. They're so dug in in their hatred for this guy because they feel like they've bet their careers, they've bet their paychecks or you know, their their fame and their importance. Their ego is so tied into anti Trump is m that they

can't even c straight anymore. Thanks for listening to The Bus Sesson Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the iHeart Radio app before wherever you get your podcasts. I was wondering do you think justice was served in the Harvey Weinstein case? So I was never a fan of Harvey Weinstein, as you know. In fact, he said he was going to work hard to defeat me in the election. How did that work out? By the way, I'm trying to figure that he was a person I

didn't like, I like. I don't know too much about the case. Between traveling and ken being at meetings almost every hour of the day, every minute of the day, I haven't been able to really see too much of it, but I was just not a fan of his. I knew him a little bit, not very well. I knew him because he was in New York. Not a person that I like. I will say the people that liked him with the Democrats, Michelle Obama loved him, loved him, Hillary Clinton loved him, and he gave tremendous money to

the Democrats. And I guess my question is will the Democrats be asking for that money back? Not going to hear that from a lot of the main three mallets right now that are celebrating the Weinstein verdict as a huge win for women, which I think there's there's some there's some truth to that, but there's also some concerning follow on legal implications, I believe, and I don't know. No one really seems to want to talk about this right now, and I'll get into that part of it

in the second. But journalists running arond patting themselves in the back for the Weinstein verdict saying see journalism still is important. No journalists covered up for this guy and did his bidding for decades, and then when he got a little old and a little less powerful, a little less useful, then all of a sudden it was time to write the big expose, the Ronan Pharaoh piece. But I can't help but remember that Ronan Faroh, who I think won a Pulitzer for this and became the celebrated guy.

I still remember. He had the worst. I mean, it really was all time the worst cable news commentary show ever put on the air in my lifetime, the worst. I mean, I think Alec Baldwin's show was better. Ronn Faro would sort of sit there and yes, I'm going to do an interviewed out. Yeah, did I tell you I've worked at the State Department for like three months and was really important at wrote Scaler and you know,

it was just horrible. And then he came out and he wrote this piece, and he took some heat, and he was willing to take the risk here. But he had the goods on wins and he knew he did. I mean, the fact that NBC didn't want to run with it initially is an interesting part of the story. But he knew he had him. There was no there was no like wiggling out when you got all these people on the record everything else. I give him credit, you know he did, he did publish a story at first.

But I also can't forget that that credibility in the Meto movement that Ronan Faraoh built by going after Harvey Weinstein was then weaponized for political purposes during the Kavanaugh hearing with that just appallingly flimsy and obviously false story

about Deborah Ramirez at Yale that he went with. Where he you know, the people that did know about it or didn't did you know, know about her, didn't believe that it had happened, And I mean it just you go back into it and they just were They were like, Ronan, we need you here. It's about Rove Wade. You gotta do what you gotta do, step in there and take down Kavanaugh. So I remember that. I'm not going to forget that. So as far as I'm concerned, he's just

another hack. He threw away his credibility with that. He didn't have to do that. I think it was with Jane Jane Mayer too. I mean, they just they thought they had an opportunity to take down Kavanaugh and it was a hit. It was a dirty political hit. It was a lie. I'm sorry. You don't take a week to get counseling on your memories to remember if some guy in college hit you in the face with his genitalia,

you know, you don't it doesn't take it. And if you're so traumatized by it, it wouldn't take you a week to remember this, which is what happened with Debora Ramira. I mean, the whole thing was but you know, it's like all these other stories that came out, Julie Sweatnick, you know, the gang rape, cruise, everything, this was. It was all just everything you can It was really the weaponization of gender against Kavanaugh. That was what was going on, and thank god, and it was close, but thank god

Kavanaugh was able to withstand it. And the United States Senate did do the right thing. I mean, you got to remember, at least the Republicans did so. Okay, now we look at what Trump is saying here about Weinstein. Weinstein wasn't just a guy who was friends with Democrats. Weinstein was close to the most powerful Democrats in the country, which he used and leveraged in order to frighten women and anyone who would speak about what he was doing

to women into silence. So that's something that should get more attention, should get looked at more. I mean, here is for example. Remember there were stories. Everybody knew the stories about Harvey Weinstein being a guy who was very aggressive with women, very difficult to do. I actually just spoke to somebody recently who had done business with him back when he was a concert promoter. That's how we got.

Started out as a concert promoter and then he moved into doing the Hollywood studio stuff, and just said he was impossible to deal with, a nasty, dishonest guy. So Democrats love him, powerful, rich, influential in the culture. But a nasty, a moral, predatory, left wing lib. Hey, that fits right into the Democrat you know. The Democrats think that's all great. And I mean, here's for example, and Trump said, Trump said that Harvey Weinstein was liked by

these different very powerful figures. Here's Michelle Obama talking about Harvey Weinstein. Play clip three. I want to start by thanking Harvey Weinstein for organizing this amazing day. This is possible because of Harvey. He is a wonderful human being, a good friend, and just a powerhouse and the fact that he and his team so that the time to make this happen for all of you should say something not about me or about this place, but about you.

All right, everybody here here because of you a wonderful human being. And this was just I don't know, probably this was during the Obama presidency, just a few years ago that that SoundBite was we pulled that sound bite. And if you believe all of the women who testified against Harvey Weinstein, he's been raping women since the nineties. But here you have probably the single most popular Democrat figure in the United States. It's always kind of it's

Oprah or Michelle Obama. You know, there's only a few people that are as universally beloved and all the polling and everything else saying that he's a wonderful human being. Do you think anyone in that power structure will be held to account for this. Journalists didn't want to cover this story, and now they pat themselves in the back. Journalists didn't want to cover Epstein, who was also connected to all of these very powerful Democrats. Democrats are the

ones that Epstein was. They focused so much on Prince Andrew because he's at least external to American politics. The media is all look at the Prince Andrew situation. Epstein spent a lot of time with Bill Clinton, spent a lot of time with some other prominent Democrats. They didn't want to touch that. Look, I understand that the pressures that come up in the media business, it's very uncertain,

it's very unfair. I just have a problem with people pretending to be brave when they're actually just sniveling cowards. And most journalists on these issues have been sniveling cowards. There's there's no question about that. Now I go to the why, Okay, yeah, Harvey Weinstein. Do I think that he has forced himself on women? Based on the testimony of yeah, I do. I think he has. I think he's I think he has actually assaulted women. I do

believe that. But here's what I do have a problem with, and I think the jury had a bit of a problem with this too, because they did not go for the highest counts of predatory sexual assault. Now we don't know exactly why that is, but it now there's now been at a very high pro and the highest profile case you could really think of for this kind of issue.

There has been a standard set whereby a woman can have an interest in having a sexual relationship with a man and can claim that there was an attack, a felonious rape occurred, and then after that felony, after that criminal act that could send that man to prison for twenty five years, as we see now, at least that's

what it is in New York. After committing a crime that could send you a prison for twenty five years, that woman could, of her own volition, not married to him, doesn't live with him, not you know, in fear of her life or physical abuse constantly. That woman can then continue a long term, ongoing not just relationship, sexual relationship with that man by her own choice, and then at a later date say, but but that one time he raped me, so he should go to prison for the

rest of his life. I'm just telling him, maybe you believe in this case that is exactly what happened. And okay, maybe maybe that is exactly what happened in this case. This is a precedent now though, the same way that I knew that ronand Farrow, after all the accolades about breaking the meat too story, just give it time. He's going to go after a big Republican It was very obvious they were going to use this to go after and they use it in the biggest, the biggest form

they could. They took the biggest shot they had against Kavanaugh, and he was a part of that. You will now see this story of a case will return where a woman will claim that a very powerful man that she had a long term sexual relationship with, at some point during that relationship, forced himself upon her or you know, she felt physically violated, and even though after that she's all, you know, I love you, which is what they were saying to Harvey. Were two of the women were saying,

I love you, Harvey Weinstein. They would say, please spend more time with me, Please have sex with me again. There will be a cases now where, going forward, a woman will have that same kind of ongoing emotional and sexual relationship with a man, but all of a sudden she will decide that no, there was I was actually raped, and I wanted to press charges and I want that this person should be destroyed by the criminal justice system

for what they did to me. Now, if they did actually force themselves on her, and you know, rape is a serious crime and it's a felony, and that should be the case. As we know, there are false race out there are false rape accusations that occur. This does happen, And now this makes it much more probable in my mind that you'll have an even more sort of gray

area accusation download. I'm not talking about Harvey Weinstey. I'm talking with the precedent of the sets now where I don't know, what if what if a woman feels like she is scorned by an individual, what if a woman feels like, you know, oh, he went out and had an affair with the maid. You know, I'm going to say that ten years ago, that one time when we were both a little drunk and he thought it was

all fun, that he actually raped me. You no longer would be able to say, but I mean, we've been in a relationship for ten years and you didn't seem to think that I was a rapist for any of those years. Right, that doesn't matter anymore. That's this is a new thing. And in an era where we're being told you have to get videotape consent. Oh no, even that's not enough, or you have to get you consent

on an app. Oh that's not enough and where we're always told that you women must be believed, even though we know that there are some women who lie. In fact, lying about rape is much more common than lying about other felony crimes. Just a fact. And the statistics about ten percent, that means ninety percent of women who are sexually assaulted are telling the truth. So nine out of ten women, based on the numbers, aren't telling the truth. And those scummy guys should be thrown in prison for

a very very long time. But there are going to be these other cases. There are going to be Kavanaughs, my friends. And you will see now that this has changed the standard by which a man's actions can be judged by a jury such that he will have to he will have to be able to do to prove that every act, every time over a long period with a woman when there was a lot of if there was one time where consent was in doubt, maybe he

has to go to prison for a long time. That's a standard that we're going to go back and look at and say, how is this really workable in a criminal justice system in a way that's going to be fair. You're enough freedom, hud. This is the buck Sexton show podcast. I just wanted to follow up on my colleagues question about Russian interference. Can you pledge to the American people that you will not accept any foreign assistance in the

upcoming election? And on this idea of a purge in your administration, there was recently the departure of your Acting d and I, Joseph McGuire. You replaced him with your Ambassador to Germany, Rick Ronell. Some of your critics have pointed out that Ambassador Barnell has no intelligence experience. How can you justify to the American people having an acting DNI with no intelligence Okay, prisoner, I want no help from any kind and I have been given help from

any country. And if you see what you see, an endor wonderful network said. I guess they apologized in a way for didn't they apologize for the fact that they said different things that weren't chair. Tell me what was their apology yesterday? What did they say this President? I think our record on delivering the truth is a lot better than your Sometimes, let me tell you about your record. Your record is so bad you ought to be ashamed of yourself. Yeah. Probably, I'm not ashamed of anything. You

probably the history of broadcasting. Love it. I'm gonna I'm gonna miss this man, I mean whatever. I think we got four more years of it, hopefully, but thank god, I mean Jimmy cause is a joke and a a complete and utter mockery of what journalism is allegedly supposed to be. Um, but here you have the usual you know, when did you stop eating your wife? Question from the media, Will you pledge now that you will not take foreign interference? Yeah,

of course he's not gonna take foreign interference. It's it's such a dirty maneuver to even ask a president about this foreign interference wouldn't even help him. It's stupid. It's a dumb idea. Remember the president told me this himself. He's like, it doesn't even make any when I was sitting in the ople off as a president. Doesn't even

make any sense. Well, what we we're gonna do? What we spread some memes on Facebook about Hillary and then possibly have all this you know, to think about all that's come from a special counsel and all this election stuff that's led nowhere because it was all based on lies.

But imagine if it was based in the truth. So it's it's not even a good plan, But the people that have pushed this are still fixated on it because otherwise they have to look in the mirror and realize they are a bunch of dopes, a bunch of idiots, and they've done a lot of damage to the country as a result of this. The truth is that the likeliest place that you will see foreign interference, I'm sorry, interference, it is interference in our election comes from inside the

intelligence community itself. Inside the intelligence community, you will see people who leak information. That's the entire latest round of Russia collusion insanity resulted really almost directly resulted directly from a briefing given to members of Congress, a whole bunch of them, by the intelligence community, in a way that if you were designing a meeting that you knew would have details that would leak, that's what it would be get.

A whole bunch of members of Congress together put out the explosive allegation that Russia's still helping Trump and then, oh, there are so many people in the room. I don't know who told the press because it's classified, it's illegal to leak that information to the press. But guess what it leaked very quickly. There'll be more of this. You know, Marie Ivanovitch just got a seven figure book deal. Yeah, that's right. It's got over a million dollars to write

a book. Book's gonna suck. No one's gonna read it. It's gonna be boring. That's not the point. It's a payoff for her being a good little soldier of the deep state against Trump. The left does this, they're far better at it than we are. We have you know, we got a handful of conservative billionaires. I love to write checks to like boring think tanks. They don't really

do anything. We need to start having outlets and platforms for people who are soldiers for conservatism where you can go well, where you'll be taking care of you know, we need publishing imprints. We need these things because we're at a huge disadvantage in the information war against the left when they know that if you stand up against Trump and you get fired, doesn't matter what you do,

doesn't matter. As long as you were standing up against Trump, you're gonna get a book deal, speaking, circuit board seat, all all this great stuff. Because the left takes care of their soldiers on the right, We're like, yeah, you know, go start a business, find a job. Sorry, your career's ruined.

Why does your current climate chame proposal involved phasing out nuclear energy when it currently accounts for twenty percent of all US energy and fifty percent of our carbon free energy. Okay, all right? And the answer is that right now, we do not know how to get rid of the nuclear waste that is out there, waste that is going to be around for a very very very long time. As you know, the Congress thought about yucka Mountain and Nevada. I don't believe that that

is going to happen. So right now, all over the country, including my own state of Vermont, we have nuclear waste alongside a plant that has since been shut down right wide the Connecticut River not a good place for it. And all over this country you have nuclear waste which is stored in ways in places that are not particularly safe. So I don't know how we can build more nuclear plants when we don't know how to get rid of the waste that we have. Second of all, in terms

of the construction of new nuclear plants. You may or may not know that they all fall fall far more expensive than investing in wind, solar and other sustainable energies. I just wanted to play this for you as a reminder that what I'm telling you about Bernie Sanders is true. He's not very smart, doesn't know very much, doesn't have a lot of knowledge about anything. He's just a demagogue.

He spouts the same nonsense you'd hear from any self described Marxist professor at any third tier college in the country. It's just that he happens to be in the right place at the right time now for the rise in socialist sentiment the Democratic Party. But he's not particularly good

at this. He doesn't have some special skill, and I think it's important that everybody remembers that Bernie Sanders isn't a guy that you would turn to even to give you a good explanation of many of the policies that he now advocates for. Nuclear power is something that the left gets very touchy about because they used to be obsessed with how nuclear power was something that had to be opposed on environmental grounds. It's particularly true the anti

nuclear power movement in the nineteen seventies. It actually led to the beginning of what we now call the Black Block movement. There were these black block protests about nuclear power in Germany in the seventies, and then you had all these environmentalists that latched onto the stories about how nuclear power of nuclear meltdowns would happen, what we're going

to do at the waste. It turns out that nuclear power is the safest, cleanest, best option for having the advanced economies we want to have and does not have the CO two emissions that other power has. But then I want that. They want wind, they want renewable, and it's not efficient. Solar and wind are not going to power the economy that we want to be living in. But it's just also reminded me of this is one

of my favorites is you know, I hate recycling. I find it to be a little taste of tyranny every day. It's it's incredibly stupid. Recycling is not good for the environment. They when they look at this, honestly, it is very

difficult to reprocess and clean products. To you know that that you are recycling and put them back into it's very bad This is not a good This is not a good thing, and in fact, a lot of what ends up happening, especially with plastics, when you think you're recycling plastics, we just ship our plastic to third world countries like China. I mean not China's not a third world country really, but we shipped them to third world

countries and places like China. But they don't care about where the plastic ends up, and that's how it gets back into the ocean. So we think we're recycling, we really just send it to these other places. And there's a story over the weekend about how when they look at really what goes on with plastic bag bands, which drive me insane. I mean, producer, Mark, have you have you had the experience yet of overloading a paper bag trying to get into the car and into the bottom

just falls out. Now you feel like you look at an idiot, even though it's not your fault, and you're like, why can't I just have a plastic bag? You know that's happening March first in all of New York, right, I know, Yeah, this is why I'm talking about it right now. Okay, that's just no no, but I understand, But I'm just channeling my frustration here, buy some reusable bags. At how unbelievably stupid this is going to be. It's

let me explain why it turns out. It turns out that plastic bags are incredibly lightweight, versatile, reusable, and when you look at the transportation cost and the environmental cost of paper bags, for example, there is very clear evidence that they are in fact worse for the environment. Here's a piece in the Wall Street Journal just a couple days ago. Why do politicians want to take our plastic

bags and straws away? This moral panic is intensifying, even as evidence mounts that banning plastic is both a waste of money and harmful to the environment. If you want to protect dolphins and sea turtles, you should take special care to place your plastic plastic in the trash, not the recycling bin. During the nineteen seventies, environmentalists wanted to restrict the use of plastic because it was made from petroleum. When the energy crisis abated, they denounced plastic for not

being biodegradable in landfills. They blamed it for littering the landscape, clogging sewer drains. In global warming, plastic from our throwaway society was killing vast numbers creatures, according to a twenty seventeen BBC documentary series. The series prompted Queen Elizabeth a Second to ban plastic straws and bottles from the Royal Estates, and it galvanize so many other leaders that Greens celebrate what they call the Blue Planet effect, named for the series.

More than one hundred countries now restrict single use plastic bags, and Pope Frances has called for global regulation of plastic. Popular misconceptions have sustained the plastic panic. Environmentalist frequently claimed that eighty percent of plastic in the oceans come from land based sources, but a team of scientists from four continents reported in twenty eighteen that more than half of plastic in the Great Pacific garbage Patch comes from fishing boats,

mostly discarded nets and other gear. More than eighty percent of the plastic bottles that wash up on the shores of inaccessible island and uninhabited extinct volcano in the South Atlantic originated in China. Of the plastic carried into oceans by rivers, a twenty seventeen study in Nature Communications estimated eighty six percent comes from Asia and virtually all the

rest from Africa and South America. Some plastic in America is littered on beaches and streets, but researchers have found that laws restricting plastic bags have do not reduce litter. The resources wasted on these anti plastic campaigns, we better spent on programs to discourage all kinds of littering. I mean, it just goes on, It goes on and on. It's just a horrible idea. It's stupid. I mean, I've been dealing with it whenever I go to California. I'll be

in California this weekend. It's so dumb and yet people it's just virtue signaling. It takes over this part of the brain. People can't think for themselves anymore. They're incapable of looking at what's really going on. Instead, they replaced it with what they wish was going on because it makes them feel good. This piece continues quote Single use plastic bags aren't the worst environmental choice of the supermarket. They're the best. High density polyethylene bags are a marvel

of economic engineering and environmental efficiency. They're cheap, convenient, waterproof, strong enough to hold groceries, but thin and light enough to make and make and transport using scan energy, water, or other resources. Though they're called single use, most people reuse them, often as trash can liners. I do that when governments banned them, Consumers buy thicker substitutes with a bigger carbon footprint once discarded that take up a little

room in landfills. That they aren't biodegradable is a plus because they don't release greenhouse gases like decomposing paper and cotton bags. The plastic bags, tiny quantity of carbon extracted from natural gas goes back underground where it can be safely sequestered from the atmosphere and ocean in a modern

landfill with sturdy lining. Plastic I mean plastic bands are a modern version of medieval sumptuary laws, which forbade merchants and other commoners from wearing clothes or using products that offended the sensibilities of aristocrats and clergyman. Green activists have the power to impose their preferences now that environmentalism is essentially the state, religion and progressive strongholds. This is by this guy Tyranny, who's the editor of City Journal for

the Wall Street Journal. We're gonna we have a plastic band coming into effecture in New York City. The uh, these different progressive strongholds, you cannot penetrate their environmentalist nonsense with reality. But you know what's worse than the bags? What the straws? Oh, the straws. Paper straws are disgusting. I actually prefer reusual banks as they hold more and I don't have to carry as many bags. That's not

been an environmental thing. Yeah, but you got to carry it with differings, which you know, sometimes you want to go to the store, you don't have a bag on you, you don't have a car, so yeah, exactly, it's a different deal. But the straws, if somebody puts a paper straw on my drink, I'm done. I don't go to at least I'm right. Yeah. But the thing is they're doing this and they're not. It doesn't even do what they think it's going to do. All it does is

annoy everybody. Yes, this is like the the liberal mentality is now. If it makes them feel good to annoy you and has no other purpose, they will use state power and coercion to do That drives me insane. Yeah, plastic band bags to be banned in New York second statewide band. I mean, this is this is idiocy, idiocy.

You know, recycling has dumb all this stuff. You know, you want people to not litter, which, by the way, there's some cultural things about littering, like some cultures are more likely to litter, they litter a lot, and others don't. And you know that's you go to more developed countries and there's a lot less littering. I mean, there's a whole the way. If you want to know how economically developed a country as, all you have to do is see how they handle their trash. And you pretty much know.

If you know how they handle refuse, you you know how advanced the country is. You know, you're not going to see a lot of trash all over the streets of Tokyo, even though it's an incredibly dense urban area. You will see a lot of trash in other parts of the world where median wages are far lower and there's far less economic development. You know, in the Middle East and some some of those cities, you'll see trash all over them. And you go to some parts of

Cairo's trash everywhere. So I mean, just for an example here, I'm annoyed to see that New York is going to be following California's footsteps. But you know, maybe New Yorkers just have to get some good doses of liberalism to wake up. I don't know, though, then we never learned a lesson here. I mean, those of you that don't live in progressive strongholds, you're so lucky because by the time it's clear that the policies they are implementing are

bad and are damaging, it's too late. And you know, people have already fled, and I mean New York is hemorrhaging people to Florida right now, just because of the changes in the taxes. The plastic bag plastic bag, sorry New York plastic bag banit. Go out Hangle, produce a mok and run Konkoma patch jog one of those places, you know what I mean? What is your what is the favorite of the South Shore destinations in general? Yeah? I mean Long Beach because I live there and there's

a beach that sounds nice. Yeah. Yeah, there's no beach and run Konkoma, right. I'd just like to say that there might be one. Is there one about Jericho? No, there's no beach. There no beach in Jericho, right, yeah, like Jericho of all the fun ones. Yeah, I don't know, it's very long. I'm trying to think of the most long island long island place. Jericho has got to be

high on the list. I don't know. Ronkonkom is up there. Babylon. Oh, I guess that people will come visit the city on the weekends when I was in high school from Babylon, where I was like, ah, yes, the Babylon crew is here. You're just naming routes on the Long Island railroad, right, Yeah, but this is very we refer to this as bridge and tunnel. Back in the day, people coming in the city from outside of the Five Boroughs and Babylon were

frequent frequent visitors. Yeah, and this is long. That's why I know them from taking the train. Now. So the out east, as they say, out east where there's such a Manhattan, Yeah, such a that's a very Manhattan thing going out east. Me out east is like Montauk or like all the way on the end of Montalk's great. Montalk's very trendy. Now though you probably Wine country of course. Yeah,

north shore of Long Islands very nice. So anyway, man, they're gonna have a plastic band here and it's on Long Island's gonna be affected by This is why I'm thinking about. I mean, every all over New York State we have this plastic bag and in effect, it's stupid. It's kind of productive, but the libs don't care. If it makes them feel good, they will ram their stupidity down your throat and do it with a paper straw that disintegrates within like two minutes of being in your drink.

You're in the Freedom Hunt. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. I haven't talked too much about coronavirus today I've seen now we've got eighty thousand confirmed cases. Stock market did not have some huge rebound today after a three percent drop in the what was the SNP yesterday? So it's it's concerning and there are gonna be there's now I think a consensus emerging that it is going to hit the United States, but we have an advanced health system. The fatality rate is two percent, which is

a lot higher than the flu. The flu is something like point zero one percent. But we are going to get hit with coronavirus. I don't know. There's something I don't have. This isn't a completely formulated theory yet, but I'm getting it, just getting a feeling. You know, you have this rise of socialism in Sanders and now you've got this coronavirus something something's going to happen here, meaning that there's going to be some big change in our

perception of what's going on in the country. And I'm a little worried about how this could how this could evolve to help the Democrats in the fall, you know, the economy might hit a real slowdown, and all of a sudden we start hearing about how Trump isn't such a good Stuarty. Even though it'll be the result of a it looks like it would be the result of a disease of a virus that is spreading all over

the world. This is where I start to say, this is where you start to feel like there's a fat tail incident, which is one way referring to or a black swan incident, where that's the low probability, high impact scenario that to me seems like it's possible. Now that we're entering this phase of what's going to be a it is going to be a global pandemic, and it has already killed a lot more people than stars did. It's the incubation rates on coronavirus. I don't have a

lot of good news here on this right now. I don't have good news to share. The incubation rates on it are longer than thought. There's some people that are going now for almost thirty days before they show symptoms, which means that during that period you are still possibly contagious, so you don't know you you know, you could not know that you have coronavirus and be spreading it to people and it won't be until two or three weeks goes by before you start to actually show symptoms. There

are much more dangerous strains of virus out there. They're much more dangerous influenza influenzas, for example, to have really high fatality rates. But the thing about those influences is that they tend not to be easily spread because the symptoms set on very quickly and people are not interacting with a lot of other people and basically fighting for

their own fighting for their own lives very quickly. The way that coronavirus incubates and the way that it is spread means that the likelihood of this thing becoming a disease that we all have to be at least aware of, even in this country, I think it is very very high.

I will also say, though, I remember I was in Puerto Rico when Zico was considered a huge concern and there were these maps the CDC put out about how zeco was going to spread everywhere, and it was, you know, going to be and if pregnant women were terrified of it, and all this stuff. Now you don't hear, you don't even hear about zeke anymore. I remember I read a CDC analysis before I went to Puerto Rico. When I was there, Puerto Rico is one of the one of

the islands that was worst hit by it. That up to fifty percent of the Caribbean and like the northern half of South America and a big chunk of the southern United States, up to fifty percent or forty or fifty percent of people might be infected with ZCO within you know, a few years time. And turned out now

zeca wasn't killing people. The big fear about zeko was that it was going to cause microcephaly, which is a super small essentially creates a super small head and it's a terrible birth defect that was and people saw photos of it, and you know, they were very very concerned about it, understandably, but you don't even really hear about Zeke anymore. I remember West Nile virus was going to be something that you know, you'd just be walking around the park in some city in the US and you

get West nil virus from mosquito bite. You know, there have been these moments where we're all supposed to be really, really scared. I'm not at the I'm not at the panic button phase of coronavirus, but I am at the it's gonna hit the United States. We're gonna have, in my opinion, we're gonna have corona spreading through US cities here within within a month or two. And that's gonna

shake a lot. But first of all, it's scary, right, it's scary for you, believen with a two percent fatality rate, that's that's higher than a lot of other things that we've gotten used to having in the environment. How does this also play politically though, I mean, this will have pandemics have political implications, make no mistake about it. You know, you get socialists promising government healthcare. You get the governments supposed to protect us. I'm worried about this. Thanks for

Elena write s in Hey Buck, thanks for all you do. I think I've told you before

that I live in Albania. I teach English using the Bible. One of my students has said that he'd like to get an American history book to read because he just wants to know more about America's history. Could you recommend a title that I could get for him that would not be a liberal treatise and would give him what he wants to know. PS. He's already read The Residence, an American history book to read to know about American history.

I mean, I honestly can't think, off the top of my head of it a really good overview of US history that's in one book. I can think of different periods of history where there are good books, but I can't think of one book that covers all that. So let me get back to you on that, Atlanta. I wish, I wish I had a better a better answer for you on this. Oh Man also slipped on my neck wrong last night? Is brutal? Who you got to do

a radio show for three hours? Your neck? Hurst sucks? Bill? Hey, Buck, I haven't already discussed the fact that China manufactures the majority of our pharmaceuticals. It seems to me. That seems to me that with them in a position to control our most basic antibiotics, we could be greatly hurt as a nation. Especially with a possible coronavirus pandemic. What are your thoughts, Well, Bill, antibiotics don't do anything against viruses. They only do things against bacteria, So it's not going

to mean anything that they manufacture antibiotics. If in fact there was a vaccine that had to be manufactured, I'd wonder where that would be done. I think that in the past, for example, the flu vaccine, some of the I think we got it from a company in Switzerland. Is it ABV or something I forget, But anyway, there's some big pharmaceutical companies that are not based in trying to do some of this stuff too. Right now, though, we really do need a at least a treatment protocol

to bring down the fatality rate. That would be really helpful, because a two percent fatality rate doesn't sound that bad until you realize that a few hundred thousand people getting infected means a few thousand people are dying of this disease, and that's that's very that's that's a lot of casualties for us today. That's a lot of very tragic circumstances occurring. So yeah, I just wish the scientific community would stop, you know, stop messing around with the climate change garbage

and focus in on real stuff like this. Stop telling us the band plastic bags too. Let's see here, Andy, Hi Buck, you rock, Andy, Thank you, you rock too. I do want to play Devil's advocate here. You mentioned a couple of days ago that Bernie voted Bernie voters voted for Trump, possibly costing what happened the election. I looked at some of the states that Trump lost by just a couple percentage points, and the difference there was

Gary Johnson. I have to think if he wasn't in the race, a decent majority of his votes would have gone to Trump. Assuming this is correct, If Johnson wasn't in, Trump would have won four or five more states. I haven't looked. I've only looked at the Bernie numbers in those states where there were Bernie was a write in. I have not looked at the Gary Johnson numbers. So if you have done that analysis, I would defer to you.

Assuming your numbers are correct, that certainly seems possible. So good on you for doing the work doing the homework yourself. I do appreciate it. Michelle, Hey Buck, I'm a new listener and a conservative millennial. Love your show so much. I listen to the shows in reverse chronological order. When you start selling freedom hot t shirts, please use Tribe blend. What is that, producer or what's tribe blend? I believe

it's like a polyester cotton blend. Oh okay, So when we get our gear, when we get our gear up and running, maybe we can do that. We'll have plenty of options available. I'm sure. Yeah, when we actually get around to it, we'll get him. You know, we do everything. We just slog. It's just me and producer market here. Man, we're like a two man army. That's that's really what's going on here. You know, we got producer Nick sometimes gives us a little close air support. You know, he

comes in, but he's not here located with us. He's like the sniper who's set up in a sniper's nest that can help us out. But we're kicking in the doors by ourselves. M. David, Hey, Bucking team. I listen to your radio broadcast on my way home from work, and hearing of California's attitude toward federal offt units ago,

a solution occurred to me. I'm not sure if it's legally possible, But could President Trump issue executive orders suspending all federal aid to California until they comply with federal law. I believe there is precedent for this. If so, that would certainly alter the dialogue and force California into compliance with laws they agreed to support as a condition of receiving aid. Almost poetic in its elegance, is it not.

I enjoy the show and learn a lot from it and has a different angle of attack from other talk shows, and that's refreshing you folks. Keep up the good work and I'll keep listening. I haven't been listening long, but I'll say it anyway. She's high. David, welcome man. Great to have you as part of Team Buck. Thank you so much for your note, and we appreciate all the kind words. As for using federal dollars to force compliance, that can be tricky. That's something that would certainly go

through the courts. You know. The Obama administration, for example, even when Obamacare was upheld the first time, the Obama administration was not able to get the part of Obamacare that would have said to states, you either expand your Medicaid roles which states had to pay into as well as the federal government, or we're going to pull all federal funding. The Supreme Court, even the same Supreme Court breakdown that upheld Obamacare, said that that degree a federal

coercion of the states was too much. John, I support the First Amendment one hundred percent, and I think any infringement is an erosion of our republic. But for a thought exercise, what if it was illegal for corporations to own news organizations and the news organizations had to operate all on their own without the backing of billion dollars

media conglomerates. Do you think reporters would take more accountability and even act as true journalists if they actually had to tell the truth to thrive rather than pander and read the daily DNC talking points. This wouldn't be an infringement the first, but a regulation on the business model. What are some other ways you think we the people the FEDS could take action against the media for their countless lies that doesn't infringe on the first John, No,

I don't think provide. I don't think stopping corporate ownership of media corporations would make media corporations more honest because the reason the media corporations engage in advocacy under the guise of journalism is because they are ideologically predisposed to do that. They're going with what they themselves believe anyway. And also their audiences are very much all of that left wing mindset, and so they're pandering to their audience.

So they're pandering to their own sensibility and to their audiences, something that I think you will continue to see happening no matter what kind of regulations we try to put in place, David writes Buck. Oh ah, Prouncer Mark got some news for you to Chief Buck. I totally agree with you about the Avenger movies. Some of them were okay, but Endgame was awful. They crammed in way too many cliche storylines. Oh nothing I hate more than time loss sitting through a bad movie. I also agree with you

about movies staying around ninety minutes. Shield say, what do you got to say now, Producer Mark uh Well, first of all, that is a parallel opinion and gave one listener down Eric. Endgame is one of the few movies that I got like an actual emotional like having cry or anything when I go, and an actual reaction out of me. Well, you did, Kim, I didn't realize other like ten of them. So you've convinced me. I'm actually even go back to the very what is the first one?

I believe it's the first Iron Man, and so then what comes after that? Maybe the Avengers. I don't know about original Avengers. Yes, I think I saw that there is the way to watch in chronological order war in way they were released order. Is Ragnarok a part of this or is that a different thing? Agnrock is a part of it? Yeah, because that I saw Marvels a part of it. The Ragnarrock thing was actually kind of entertaining. I kind of liked that you liked, Yeah, that I

kind of liked. If you watch them in water there a little bit better, all right, David producer Mark said, also on you, that's one listener out of hundreds of thousands. Yeah, that's true, but that's one. And I think I think we're about I want to say ten to one. It might be more like fifty to one in favor of Avengers versus against but at least I'm not alone. Yeah, there's there's a couple of you that are in there. There's a couple of us weirdos, out there that they're

like the Avengers. All right, that's fair enough. Well, David, you and producer Mark can pick a place to fight after school. Use violence, that's true. Producer Mark fights with his mind. TJ. Buck. I hate to be a catastrophist, but I can't help but notice the dow fell a thousand points on the opening day after the realization that Bernie will be the Democrat nominee. They say it's because of the coronavirus, but I'm skeptical of that reasoning regardless

of what the dial fell. I can't help but wonder what Bernie will do to the market confidence by being by just being the nominee, not even by being elected president. Most conservatives will admit the Trump will not say much of a chance if the market tanks for November. So how does Trump keep market confidence high with the inevitability of Bernie becoming a Democrat nominee. By the way, this don't tell anybody else. I said that this is the

smartest audience and talk radio listens to this show. I'm just gonna say it. We got this. The team Buck is the smartest. The other audiences are gonna yell at me. I don't care Team Buck is the smartest audience on radio. Just listen to the stuff that people are writing in all the time. I'm like, that's an that is an excellent point, very well thought out in reason, Sir or madam. Yeah, I think that Bernie Sanders does scare Wall Street, and

he should. I think Bernie Sanders scares anybody who owns property, and he should. Anybody who has built up assets, anybody who has worked very hard for whatever they have, just understand that Bernie Sanders, he's not a friend to you. Continuing on with that, prosperity, Bernie Sanders is a concern that you should have and if you were to win. You know, it's funny they pretended that and Trump won, that the stock market would tank, and it's been the

exact opposite. I'm here to tell you if Bernie Sanders does win the presidential I mean, first he has to win the primary, which is not in the bag yet. It's not done. But if Bernie Sanders wins the presidency, be prepared for a stock market crash the next day. I mean, be prepared for, you know, a twenty percent

market correction. I really think that could happen. Just all of a stuff all you know, all the gains from the last year to just erased, and maybe we even go into you know, pre Trump in the red in terms of where the market has gone in the Trump era, and then Bernie Sanders comes in, because it's just it's wealth destroying government coming in and taking from people and inefficiently allocating capital and spending money on programs that don't work,

and taking money from people that are growing wealth and that are doing good things and that are providing services and employing people. The Bernie Sanders model is wealth destroying. It does not It does not make the economy stronger in any way. And that's why it's it's such a concern and it should continue to be a concern. You're in the Freedom Hunt. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast.

All right, roll call continues here with Eric write again, I hope you heard Adam Schiff's question, what is to stomp a president from using the intelligence community to investigate political rivals? Sitting here waiting on GOP senators to challenge him on this response and believe we should hit him hard on this one. Yeah, they've already done that. I mean, the most astonishing presidential political scandal of my lifetime. It's

already happened. Democrats have already done it to us. They used the intelligence community, they abused intelligence operations in order to spy on a presidential campaign. That is what happened. But because we live in such a dishonest media environment, they were use to make that well, they refuse to not only just agree that that's what happened, but you make any amends for it. Let's see we have next up here. Okay, here it is. It seems that producer

Mark is good and I like him. Okay, thank you, Carla. We like producer Mark too. I don't even want to know what the rest of that message said. Buck, Yeah, we bailed on it all right, Yeah, producer Hey, Prucer Mark can be a little grouchy sometimes, but he's my grouch. This is what happens when you go rogue Buck. Yeah, I know, Stephen Buck original Saturday squad here an army vet, always doing my best to spread the word about the show,

get back to the the History Show. It's gonna be tough to do it in an election year because we're so busy, but at some point we'll get that go and we'll get that crack of lack and I've certainly thought about it. And yeah, thank you so much. I'm glad you enjoyed Lepanto and Dracula. I do want to go back to those. Those were a lot of fun. Noah, hey buck, it's been in a few years since I quit following politics

so closely. Let's see who we get and would it be at all possible for you to take a mintage on the podcast and do a recap of the last four years, just to get people like me some sort of timeline that would be much appreciate it. I hope you hear something on this thanks from a true Freedom Hut original squad. Noah, Noah. I don't know if I'll be able to do anytime soon a full four year retrospective on what's happened to American politics. Maybe at the

end of this year, after the election. But I appreciate you coming back into the Hut. You are always welcome, and thank you very much for being here. Aaron, I hear you tried yoga. That is fantastic. After I left the United States Marine Corps, I went to school and enrolled in yoga with a friend, mostly going to meet women, but to my surprise, it was a lifesaver I had to do. I had to deal with some residual stuff

from the Corps, and it helped a lot with that. However, I'm also a goalie in hockey and it was amazing for flexibility. In the end, I took every yoga class I could keep doing it. Yeah, Aaron, I have been doing more yoga. I am going to go back to it. I did feel very good. It hurts me a lot as I'm doing it, which probably means I need to do more of it because I'm very not flexible and I sit here with a tremendously painful neck from being

hunched over doing tech snack all the time. So yeah, I'm gonna do more yoga for sure, and I'm glad man. I'm yeah. Hey, if Aaron from the Marine Corps is yoga is good, producer, Mark and I have to check it out. So that's where we got. All right, everybody the show today, I hope you agree it's been fantastic.
