Guess How Well Mask Mandates Work

I'm pretty sure we fought a war a couple of hundred years ago so that we'd never have to pay attention to the British monarchy ever again, and the American people wouldn't have to ever give a crap, if you will, what the monarchs think about anything. But here we are, now, with the complete saturation and domination of media today, with this interview. I saw some of

it last I couldn't stomach watching the whole thing. I just don't care enough, but I watched enough of it to get it to get the gist. And here's what we know. Harry and Meghan are part of the British royal family. I don't even know what their official titles are anything. I don't really care, but they sat down with Oprah, who is a multi billionaire, to whine about how their lives are so hard and the British Royal

Family is being mean to them. And for a lot of people they view this as, I don't know, a fairytale story gone awry. There's a fascination for certainly Americans and definitely for everybody in the UK about the Royal Family that they either they hate them they love them. But for a lot of us here you think of a case like this and you say, how could it be possible to find people who are more privileged than ultra rich celebrities like Royal family? How could you find

anybody who's more more privileged than this? And yet they want to be victims. Harry and Meggan. I don't know them, I don't care. But now the whole world, this is the biggest news story in the world. Right now, You've got two incredibly lucky, I mean lucky beyond a normal person's wildest dreams, human beings who want to go on TV and want about Look, I'm not saying they don't have challenges. I know that every human being. You know, you see people you don't see the full truth of

their situation. You see what people have to deal with, and you don't recognize all the challenges they've gone through. I get that, of course. You know, you see some of your greatest heroes throughout history have you know, substance abuse problems, or terrible personal issues in their marriage or you know what, you know, have demons have extreme depression of things that they have to handle. I'm not in any way negating any of that, but this is a

move that is beneficial. You see for Harry and Megan, this is something that really just elevates their brand, their power in their career, and it's indicative of this sickness of victimology chasing that has come to dominate Western civilization

and Western culture. Now. You know, the entire Western world seems completely obsessed with this idea that if you can, if you can claim righteous victimhood status, everybody has to feel sorry for you and give you what you want and do so because of the moral obligation you've imposed on them. And it's just it absolves, you know, the victim mentality absolves people of their own mistakes. It means

they're no longer responsible for their shortcomings. It means that there is always an out right Why hasn't something worked out the way that you thought it showed or you wanted to. It's not your fault. You're a victim. Why aren't you a better person? Why don't you treat people better? Why don't you work harder? Why don't you get more done? Why aren't you more disciplined? Why aren't you more exemplary when it comes to character and courage and kindness? None

of that matters. If you're a victim, it's not your fault. You see, there's other people that are doing all these things to you. There's other people who have made your life so much harder. And even if, as Harry and Meghan are, you are globally recognized celebrities for no real reason. I mean, in the case of Harry because he was born, he's famous, and in the case of Megan, because she's

an attractive female who married him. Now everybody has to care who they are and pretend that somehow what they say matters. It's absurd, the whole thing. But in a way, the royal family starting the mid twentieth century were the original ultra celebrities before the Kardashians came along and really proved out the celebrity because you're a celebrity model. The closest thing we had too was being born into the British royal family, and there has always been this this

fascination with them for some people. I, as I've said, I think the whole thing is absurd. I think monarchy should be abolished. I don't understand why anybody doesn't see that. But I'm also an American, so I know a lot of us is sitting here, but America's embracing this couple now too. You see, they were on with Oprah, the ultimate media powerbroker. I mean, if you're talking about a media brand that is of course worth billions of dollars,

but that has tremendous sway in pop culture. I don't know if you could find somebody more powerful than Oprah. She sits down with them, spends three hours with them, and they get to complain. Of course, if you want to be a real victim, they go with with some of the the victimology greatest hits, uh, namely Megan makes some insinuations about racism. Well that because that's all you have to do is say something or someone is racist, and now all of a sudden you're you're you're one

of the good people. You're you're righteous, you have been you have been wronged, and society must pay you some debt of some kind to make everything better. What does that even mean? How do we do that? Don't worry about the details. People bathe in, they luxuriate in. And this is true all across our society. It's true with cancel culture. All right, we just had Peppi Lapew has now gone from the Space Jam movies, and I'm not kidding because of rape culture. They also got rid of

Speedy Gonzalez. They've gotten rid of six of the Doctor SEUs books, as you know. Now that's the choice of the Doctor SEUs publishing company. But still it's showing you where the mentality is right now. But it's because there are people that are afraid of being accused of being a victimizer, and there are a whole lot more people out there who just walk around trying to find a way to view themselves as victims. It's really an obsession.

It's a deep seated mindset because think about what it does. It absolves you from all of your transgressions, It absolves you from all of your guilt, it removes any need for you to have introspection, for you to be honest with yourself about what's gone right and wrong in your own decisions, in your own life. You're a victim. It's

somebody else's fault. It takes agency away from you. And in a sense, the same way I tell you that a lot of people like to be controlled, a lot of people like to be victims because it means that now they have a purpose. They just exist to be emblems of how others have wronged them. And you can monetize this. You can use this to grow your brand. You can use this to grow your power, which is really the dynamics that we see at play now all

across cancel culture in America. But that's right, Harry and began. They live in what looks like a palace that one of the Medici family would have lived in in Renaissance era Florence. But they're lives are really hard because people in the royal family weren't always super nice to them, or didn't treat them with all of the pomp and circumstance they wanted, or something. It's not even really clear, but just some some insinuations about racism and we have

things really hard. Feel sorry for us while we have our multimillion dollar Netflix deal living in a mansion that looks like it's out of a fairytale in California. Oh gosh, things are so hard for us. This goes to show you, no matter, no matter who we're talking about here in society, now, it seems that there's an opportunity should they choose, there's an opportunity to claim victim, victim's status. I mean the

case of Harry. You have a white male monarch, but he's married to somebody who is a quarter a quarter minority. She's one of her parents is bi racial and is black, And so we have to hear about how hard it's been for Harry too. You sit around and you wonder, when is this too, When is this all just too absurd? When are people no longer in a position to claim at they're victims? But then again, look at some of the most powerful people in our society. Look at you know,

Hillary Clinton. Why did she lose the twenty sixteen election because she's a woman, she says Lebron James, globally recognize celebrity probably worth close to a billion dollars now, himself, certainly half a billion dollars. But you know he's got to do protests in hoodies and it's so hard and talk about how the challenges of the streets, what it is to be a poor minority in American inner cities today,

because you know, he's had to overcome that challenge. Jim the guy's been I think he was on the cover of Sports Illustrated when he was sixteen. But yeah, it's been a really tough road. You know, this is what we see now. Everyone's ang length is everybody wants this because, in a sense, it's the ultimate power. It's invulnerability from your own failings, your own poor decisions, and it gives you power over other people. You can make demands from them.

And it also brings you sympathy. People are like, oh, you're so great. Look what you've achieved, Look what you've done, because you've overcome the victims status. People are looking for

this all over the place. In so many ways, it undermines what we know is good and true and worthwhile in America and Western societies, which is that every individual, regardless of race, creed, color, gender, every individual is equal in the eyes of God, but also is responsible for his or her own life and decisions, and there needs to be honesty about this. You know, we all are

failed individuals in our own way. We all have our shortcomings, and it's really a form of malignant narcissism to think that whatever hasn't gone right in your life is because of what somebody else has done. Wherever you've come up short, it's because the system has oppressed you or held you down, even when you're at the very top of the system. Think about the think about the confusion here, that the

cognitive dissonance. You can be an ultra famous elite billionaire and go on TV and cry about how hard everything is, and people are supposed to feel sorry for you. I'd say, oh, well, this isn't America. This is the UK, this is their royal family, and people have a fascination with this, like we're all reading some story book about kings and queens back in the Middle Ages or something. But it's a problem here in America too, which is why we've also

why our culture has latched onto this. Everybody wants to be a victim these days. Why is that, Well, it's because it means that they get all of the benefits and none of the responsibilities of their position, and they can get even more. This is a part of the cancel culture wave in this country. It's also a part of the leftism that seeks to tear down and destroy everything that we view as objective, everything that we view

as an issue of merit, truth or falsehood. It can all be changed, it can all be moved around, depending on what one's narrative of victim status may be. You know, you didn't build that, you didn't achieve that, and whatever I did. If I'm a victim, well there's always a way to turn that around and make it somebody else's problem. Well, we have to acknowledge that what is the public likely

to do with any guidance that we give them. And if we just tell people that they've got to stay cocooned, that they've got to stay in their homes, that they've got to continue to wear their mask even though they're fully vaccinated, they're not going to do that. They're going to disregard the public health recommendations. So we have to get real. We have to say, you know, what what does it mean if I've not seen my grandchildren for the last year and I'm now vaccinated. My spouse is vaccinated,

you know, can I see those kids are not. They're not likely to have vaccine through next fall or next winter. We have to be practical, and I worry a little bit that we will basically stay with this idea that we've had all along do this or else. And so I hope that the CDC guidance acknowledges that people are not going to do the extreme of staying master twenty

twenty two. That's just not going to happen. So what can we provide them reasonable information that gives them the best case for protecting themselves, Like you know what, you wouldn't catch me tonight in a crowded restaurant somewhere, even with my vaccination. I think that's what we have to concentrate on and let them do the kinds of things

that are really much safer. That's Ouster home. It was a Biden COVID advisor right giving the Biden administration when it was coming in during the transition advice on COVID nineteen. And what he's saying is we need to start to understand what reality is your guys, If we tell everybody to mask up for another year, a lot of people just aren't going to do it. And if we're telling people they have to keep doing all the same things they're doing even after vaccination. All of this is based

on risk profile, risk mitigation, balancing different things. Out Right, we could say, if you wanted to save a whole lot of lives from COVID nineteen, you cannot leave your home for a year. Sorry, food will have to be delivered to you by somebody else. You're not allowed to leave your home. But that's too extreme, even though it would save live No question, that would save lives from COVID nineteen, it's too extreme. People won't do it. It's

not okay, it's not worth it. Now we're at a point where, let's remember, lockdowns until vaccine at the start of this was considered insane. Now we have public health officials who are telling us that masking and mitigation and maybe some lockdown, some social distancing mandates are necessary post vaccination for individuals. I mean, look at how much this

moves over time. Here's the CDC on December twenty third, Until every person in the US can get a COVID nineteen vaccine, continue to wear a mask, keep at least six feet between yourself and others, avoid crowds, and wash your hands often, learn more about who can get vaccinate and well supplies limited. Yeah, they're still doing the wash your hands thing, by the way. Yeah, that's that's really gonna that's gonna save us. That's gonna make a big difference.

That was great. That was in December. But the point is they've been advocating for this for a while that until everybody is vaccinated, you've got to do all the things you've been doing all along. This is madness. And if you're wondering, and I found this to be a particularly interesting study. Over the weekend, people were sharing this thing saying that that masking works. Study CDC report that mask mandates lower COVID cases. So it works, that's what

we're told. I actually read the study. I actually pulled from the study for you. Here is fascinating. Here's what it says. This is the latest CDC study that they

put out. CDC report on mask mandates. During March first to December thirty one, twenty twenty, state issued mask mandates applied in seventy three percent of three thousand, one hundred and forty two US counties mask mandates were associated with a point five percentage decrease in daily COVID cases one to twenty days after implementation, and decreases of one percent, one point five, one point seven, and one point eight percent twenty to forty, forty one to sixty, sixty one

to eighty, and eighty to one hundred days, respectively. Friends, they're telling you here that mask mandates are basically bringing down COVID cases over a period of months one percent. But understand that that one percent is when the margin of error for the study, so it could be zero. That's how effective they are. Now Now I want us alved me very clear about this. Were you told at the beginning that your mask wearing might have a roughly

one percent effect on the reduced rand? How long have I been saying it's about how effective this is more than whether it's effective, because making us go through this absurdity. When you add into it the changes in behavior as well that come from mask wearing. People think they're pretty protected, and then they are much closer to each other, more willing to be around each other than they probably would be otherwise, thinking that these masks are doing a great

job of protecting them. I will never forget that imbecile Redfield that ran the CDC. The quote was, this is back in September. More guaranteed a mask is more guaranteed to protect me against COVID nineteen than when I take a vaccine. That's what CDC director Redfield said in September. And now we're seeing that mask mandates have about a one percent effectiveness in actually the one percent. Friends, so

we all wear masks. What this is telling you is that you know we're all wearing masks under ammand it. Now I know they're going to say, oh but Buck, it's not perfect implementation of the matt Well, okay, but we're all wearing more masks. Shouldn't we see a substantial drop? Why are we wasting our time with this idiocy if it's only one percent? Oh no, one percent is effective if it saves one life. Friends, that's what we're back to. I don't want to know why this makes me laugh

so hard. But he did say neander Neanderthal, thinking not you're all Neanderthals, which she owned. She can ditch the present tense because, as you mentioned, they are extinct. And she's also someone that's been very vocal about denying evolution. So I found it fitting that she used that. But I just feel like that this is an example. It shows there's not much to pick on. If this is the words we're parsing. They spend a lot of time talking about how old Biden is. Well, you're going to

get words like slacks and ornery and neanderthal. It's kind of an uncivilized choice to not wear a mask when the science speaks loud and clear. And I think that it's you know again, as Sunny mentioned on the heels of someone who could offend you know people four times in a sentence, picking on an extinct Homo sapien seems like pretty safe ground for me as someone who has

two percent Neanderthal. I represent my community. I'm not offended. Yeah, Like, let's have people on the view talk about the science and like the science speaks like really clearly on all this stuff. Yeah, so clearly that a year ago the scientific community, as as evidence by doctor Fauci himself, had

a completely different view. But but we've we've been told except the one eighty switch in viewpoint and do so because the science says so, even though no, sorry, this is a very straightforward thing if you believe the Earth is flat a year ago, and now you're telling me the Earth is round, I want to know why you've changed you're thinking. I'm not just gonna say, hmm, you must have switched it around because the science speaks to you. No,

explain to me why you change your thinking. Because if you were that wrong a year ago, shouldn't it matter as to whether I believe you now shouldn't shouldn't it make it different? Or if you thought the world was round and now you think it's flat. Whatever. The point is a one eighty switch on something so fundamental, so straightforward. But now this has become such a giant virtue signaling

opportunity for people double mask. I mean I know that people now that are saying things like if it only works one This is what the news reports are trying to say for the weekend. A one percent reduction, which is effectively zero by the way, because of mass. It's effectively zero because it's within the margin of error. You don't even know, so the science doesn't even say that it's reducing it. But okay, officially the numbers are a tiny,

tiny tiny decrease, a tiny, tiny tiny decrease. The speed limit really should be fifteen miles an hour in this country. And if you don't believe that, you're a monster who thinks people should die. This was the argument I was making a year ago, almost to the day. You either believe in a fifteen million hour speed limit or you believe that people should die in fiery correct, by the

thousands every year. There is no difference between the thinking here on a one percent mask mandate effectiveness and a fifteen million hour speed limit. By the way, better get ready to wear that mask during flu season, because we're told that flu is essentially eradicated by this that is the official word. I'm just saying, I'm very curious to see. Really the flu virus is so much better contained by our measures then, I mean, COVID was basically not really

contained at all over this winter. We can all see that. That's quite obvious. Okay, we didn't stop it, we didn't contain it, but the flu was eradicated ninety eight percent decrease in cases. That's interesting, isn't it. That won't be the case going forward if we go back to normal life and thousands of people die every year, particularly older

people die every year from the flu. So when I was arguing at the beginning, we should have a fifteen mile an hour speed limit, we should have been wearing masks all along, and we're monsters during flu season for not doing so. Based on this new logic, people said no, and they got all emotional and they got all friends ether. I listened to science, and I'm really smart. No, my argument is sound. What I'm saying is true, was true, is true, and now they don't want to hear it.

Now they want to pretend that what some of us saw all along is not the case because it makes them feel like they've been essentially fooled, or that they've been believing something along that's not true, and their belief in that thing made them feel like they were smart, good people, and folks don't like to give up thinking they're smart and good. They want to hold on to that no matter what. But I read this study out of the ZDC mask mandate. It decreased death rates as well,

by around one percent over a couple of months. This is from breaking nine one one. Unbelievable. That's what we were promised. Huh, really, we're all gonna wear masks all the time. Maybe there'll be a one percent decreasing one percent. Folks, that means ninety nine out of one hundred. You're walking around with your mask on, thinking, oh, look, we're all wearing our masks in public, because that's what this really is.

There's no mask mandate in your home. We're all wearing our masks in public, huge amounts of compliance all across the country, and you might reduce cases by one percent. That's we're really gonna pretend that that's what we were, that's what we're led to believe was the case here. No, no Ah, I'm sorry. I remember the mannequin studies with the spray and they were saying, you know, seventy percent

of particles, ninety percent of particles. Somehow it blocks seventy or eighty percent of all particles out of your mouth, even though viral particles are so small that they would go right through the mesh of a mask. But they say it it is clinging to the you know, to the the spittle or to the the vapor that comes out of your mouth. Anyway, they're they're claiming that seventy percent of everything coming out of your mouth is blocked

by these masks. And yet it's a one percent reduction in cases and a one percent reduction in depth at best? At best? Is that what we were I mean, who here? Who he really thinks that? That's that they're being honest at this point? Who really thinks of what they're saying? In any way? Lines up? It was wear a mask save lives. So we've been wearing a mask for a year. And maybe maybe they're maybe there's been a you know,

I don't know. They would say a few thousand people, A few that's what we're really talking about, right, four or five thousand people that they think might have been saved by a year of mask mania. And out on top of that all the distress, the dehumanizing effects, the psychological disorders, the constant disco for Like I said, if you believe in masking, you need to believe, if you're going to be morally consistent, you need to believe in

a fifteen mile an hour speed limit. It's effectively impossible to die in a car crash if you're going fifteen miles an hour. I mean almost impossible, right, meaning if you're in a car and someone else is a car, you're going fifteen miles an hour. Modern cars today, you're going to survive that. I mean, unless it's a freak accident. But you know, then again a car could just explode for no reason. You know who knows, right, But you see, we've established a more principle if it saves one life.

Look at the liquid you're seeing now, the authoritarian left mentality and that you've been aware of for so many other things. You know, if they have to take every ten round magazine out of the hands of every American in the country, and it plays it with a five round or a seven round, which I know they didn't really make, but whatever, you know, the plays it with some other magazine size for a firearm. If that slows down one mass shooter in one shooting by one or

two seconds, it's worth it. This is this is a gateway to authoritarianism. We all understand that, right. I mean, there's really there's no justification for you to have ever gone out into crowded places because you could have always been infecting people with fluid's around you, around you don't know, you could always give somebody just a standard cold virus, and folks that have a weakened immune system, they could

end up getting pneumonia from it. Now I know you said, Buck, but this is we're taking it into absurd territory, right exactly. We've been an absurd territory with this for a year. They told you things were true that we're not true, and they keep doing it and the social medium, you know, oligarchs and the morons who run user Experience and all this other stuff at these places, who aren't even like

the tech engineers. They're the people that are on the on the softer side of these businesses, who are just a little left wing activists coming out of schools or they didn't actually learn anything other than how to be woke and how to be grievance collectors about all the oppression that they feel. They told you things that we're not true, and you should be aware of that now. You should understand that that is what happened, because they're going to keep telling you things that are unsure about

all of this. I mean, the CDC is an abomination, that much should be clear at this point. It's a it's a politicized organization that has failed at every major stage of this pandemic to do anything useful, and now we're going to be gas lit in a way that it had is just mind blowing. We're going to be gas lit by people telling us, yeah, that's right. You know, the psychosis of people running around screaming and other people

in some cases getting into you know, lethal exchanges. They're people have been shot, people have been beaten to death because they weren't wearing a mask. And yet here we are being told that maybe it reduces cases one percent, and that's max. And trust me, the CDC had to find something. You think the CDC was ever going to come up with a study. It turns out mask mandates

don't do anything. But the problem is they can only fudge the data is so much if they told us, is so incorrect and so ineffective that it's becoming really hard. So now they're retreating into Yeah, it doesn't work that well, but it works a tiny, tiny, tiny bit. M Okay. Now the state can say that any level of infringement upon your day to day life and on your basic liberties,

including your ability to just breathe normally. Any infringement that they can claim might save some small percentage of human beings from getting sick and or dying, is justified. So you better mask up forever if you think a one percent mask mandate is just, you know, one percent of cases being reduced by a mask mandate justifies the inconvenience. Mask up forever, because that's what you've established, mask up forever. Oh theoh, COVID will go away. Yeah, there's still the flu.

There's still other things out there. Better wear your mask forever. You're a monster. They were wrong all along, and I know that, you know, I focused it on this one, and I've been very just because people have been so vicious, so nasty, so stupid. People think they're so smart on this one, and they've been wrong. Yeah, I'll take the buck position on this over the one percent is really effective when it's actually within the margin of error, which means that I can also make the case that it

is entirely ineffective based on the CDC zone data. And you could say, oh, buck, but mandates aren't. Aren't the same as individa Okay, Well, then why have a mandate? If a mandate doesn't work, what's the point of a mandate? If individuals should just do this on their own, why do we have the government enforcing this, finding people threatening

to lock people up over this? Ask yourself these questions. Remember, there's a strong case to be made that thousands of businesses, tens of thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands, and millions of lives. We're devastated during this pandemic in part because social media companies employed moronic parties in third party fact checkers to

for any criticism of lockdowns. And they did this while Twitter, Facebook and Google got a lot richer That's what was happening during this you know, even the Wall Street Journal had to put out an editorial over the last week where they they point out what I've been telling this is the Wall Street Journal fact checking Facebook's fact checkers. The media giant is employing left wing vetters to limit

scientific debate. They the Wall Street Journal points out that they have a entirely mainstream, highly credentialed scientist right and op ed crunching the numbers and making a projection about herd immunity being in the US basically being here by

the end of April. And the women's in Gender studies majors out of Wellesley who work at PolitiFact, and they probably even went to crappier schools and that, but the women's in Gender studies majors that work at PolitiFact in general, they're deciding that the science that the scientist is projecting here is unsound, and therefore they limit the reach of it. On Facebook, they are laundering their censorship and they're using morons to do it. But they're left wing activists, moron,

so they feel good about this. They've done this to me. They've done this to me. They took one line out of context. They try to By the way, go to Bucksexen dot com. You want to show the sensors where to stuff it, go to Bucksexton dot com. Check out our edit my editorials there. I'm gonna have another one up tomorrow. You can listen to podcast there. It's it's a website where you can also give us your email

because we're building out a newsletter. I need direct, direct reach with all of you because the social platforms you can't trust them anymore. You can't trust them. And some people that have built really big social followings. Looking at the thing, so this person somehow never gets throttled on, This person somehow never gets banned or suspended. That's interesting. M Anyway, I'm I'm very frustrated by this, and it's really damaging to society. It's damaging to free speech and

free a free inquiry. But you know, Facebook is run by cowards now who don't appreciate liberty and freedom and the free exchange of ideas. They don't appreciate these things anymore. And remember they set their business up with that promise. In a sense, they're defrauding the public based upon the initial promise that they were going to be platforms for free speech and communication. I mean, this is really not

all that different. I know, we've made the phone companies of utility, but it would be like if the phone companies were private, and then all of a sudden they started saying, well, you know, right before the election, where we don't want this one candidate to win, so we're going to shut down all of his phone banks and we're going to decide that the person can't communicate. It's really not any different than that in principle, and this

is what the social media companies are doing. But they will even stop a JOHNS Hopkins MD scientists from looking at the numbers and making a project. They will say a projection is false and therefore cannot be shared. I make a prediction, That's what they'll tell you. You know, I wrote on BUCKSX and dot com a few weeks ago schools should be open, and they said, no, that's false, because schools should only be open if they reached the

following criterion. Guess what New York City out today. Lockdown Central just said schools are opening March twenty second. So who is right and who is wrong? PolitiFact? You morons and these like. I mean, can you imagine that you go work at one of these places. You're you're like a little hall monitor of free speech on the internet

doing the left's bidding. I mean, honestly, the only the only thing that is, you know, more intellectually degrading than being a third party fact checker would be if you're one of these people that works at Media Matters. And the only thing more intellectually and emotionally and psychologically degrading than that would be you know, I can't even say the kind of job it would be on radio because it's not family not family friendly. But it's just it's degrading.

It's disgusting, and these people are shameful who do this stuff, and they're hurting the country. And that's my bigger point here is that we were never allowed to have a real discussion about masks and effectiveness and the trade offs. Because they just kept lying and saying this is the consensus. They kept they kept changing the goalposts around and saying, no, we didn't shut up. You're not allowed to ask any questions.

And I have to ask you if they did this, and since we know they can do this for COVID, for the lockdowns, do you really believe that they won't do this for climate change? You think that all this power they've acquired, all this power they brought together, they're just going to give it all back and decide they're not going to do this again when something else that they view is really important comes up. I don't think so.

I think we're all quite aware of the fact that their plan going forward is going to be to use states of emergency for a similar shutdown of free speech and inquiry, using the most powerful platforms for communication in the world to decide what you can and cannot say. This is now the Democrat Party, this is what we're up against. The authoritarian left has seized the most powerful institutions in the country, and we need to understand what that means for us going forward and how we can

fight back against it. I said We're going to get the government out of the business from battling on Twitter and back in the business of delivering for the American people. But making a difference in their lives can mean everyone a chance of fighting, chance of showing the American people that their government can work for them. And passing the American Rescue plans will do that. Yeah, passing the passing the American Rescue Plan. That's that's all we need to do. Amazing,

isn't it. There were some there were some Washington Post headline that was along the lines of, you know, Biden defeats poverty, basically a passing the American Rescue player. You know, it defeats poverty for the American people. Places such the places.

Such a joke. It's so outrageous, so ridiculous. Anyway, here we are looking at the realities of the one point nine trillion dollars spend, and I just say, Unfortunately, elections have consequences, and we're seeing some of those consequences right

now with this. Unfortunately, Republicans are not in a position to really stop this from happening, and we are just gonna We're gonna keep spending and spending and go deeper and deeper to dead as a nation until everyone starts to realize how bad it is and what this really means for our currency, for our economy, and then it's too late. Then it's essentially all over. But we're supposed to celebrate this. Now, we're supposed to decide that this is a great moment for the American people. Why did

it take this long? They could have passed rescue stuff about COVID many months ago. Well, Democrats wanted it their way. Here's what the legislation has in it. This is from the Wall Street Journal. Quote provides a direct payment of fourteen hundred dollars for a single taxpayer or twenty eight hundred dollars for a married couple that files jointly, plus fourteen hundred dollars per dependent. Individuals earning up to seventy five thousand would get the full amount, and married couples

with incomes up to one hundred and fifty thousand. The size of the check would shrink for those making slightly more, with a hard cut off at eighty thousand dollars for individuals and one hundred and sixty thousand dollars for married couples. Most Americans will be getting the full amount. The median household income was sixty eight thousand, seven hundred and three

twenty twenty nineteen. The bill provides forty six billion to expand federal, state, and local testing for COVID nineteen and to enhance contract tracing capabilities with new investments to expand laboratory capacity and set up mobile testing units. It also contains about fourteen billion dollars to speed up the distribution or administration of COVID nineteen vaccines. Look money for vaccines. Great,

they could have done this a long time ago. Testing as a means of getting us past this pandemic is also this is now just a talking point that they won't let go of. I mean, yeah, you need to have some ability to test, obviously, but look at the huge ramp up and testing we've done, and you still had a tremendous amount of cases and debts and hospitalizations

all throughout the winter, test and trace. By the time they're really at a place where they think they can test and trace this thing, the pandemic will have essentially passed. What we're going to look back and see is that one day at least we'll look back and see that we really just were dragged to herd immunity with people

saying they were going to stop this thing. But by the time we got to herd immunity, we had suffered through the maximum amount of anxiety, tyranny, economic destruction, psychological devastation possible to get us to a point that we were inevitably heading to anyway, which is a huge amount of infections, unfortunately, a terrible amount of death at all these intervention to interventions, as Fauci calls them. And yeah, we're getting to hurt immunity with a maximum amount of

damage done along the way that was unnecessary damage. I mean, we were gonna have a lot of infections and a lot of bad stuff happen here no matter what. But you look at all the things that have been done. I mean, just look at a side by side comparison. They're out there right now of states with mask mandates and states without them, and you will see a remarkable thing here. You'll see the same rise and fall on the same timeline, irrespective of whether there was a mask

mandate in place or not. And we're talking about dozens of states. I mean you line them all up, mask mandate, yes, mask mandate no, and you'll see a rise and a fall and they're right in line with each other with no real discernible difference whatsoever. But we all had to go through a year of people going where you double masks, You're putting me at rasbar, you know, freaking out all

the time? Yeah, I know. I believe in science. People that haven't read on their own about anything in the world of science for the last twenty years of their lives, all of a sudden, it's like they have been reading, you know, the New England Journal of Medicine every day for fun. It's absurd. You know what the science tells you? What's a bigger what's a You know, should is dietary stodium an issue for heart disease? Yes or no? Should he eat red meat? Yes or no? Is being a

vegan healthy? Yes or no? You know our antibiotics and the food supply negatively affecting immunity, Yes or no? You want me to just keep going, where's the science on all these things? Well, there is science, there's data, but there are arguments that are being made because it's not clear you were if you were like me, at least I know many of you were browbeaten, you were shame, you were forced to accept that the science was settled when it wasn't. And when I say the science is

settled again, do I think that masks sometimes? Will a mask stop somebody from getting COVID? Yeah? Of course I think it works sometimes. Is it worth the mass panic and dehumanization and discomfort and absurdity of all this? Now they're double masking for a negligible benefit of less than one percent or one percent? No? And if you're going to argue with that, then you have to explain to me why we don't have a fifteen dollars minimum wage, why we don't ban alcohol illegal, make it illegal? Kill

so many people so bad? Right? People believe that there's freedom, including the freedom to make bad decisions. And you know, you could say, oh, but that's your own decision against yourself. A lot of drunk driving deaths where people are killed who had nothing to do with it. Ban alcohol, you get rid of those, right. So I'm just saying, you know, this is this is a question, do you want to live in a freesis sidey or not? Do you want to live in a free country or do you want

to live in a Fauci country. That's been really the central debate of the last year, and the left and the Democrats that media have been on the wrong side of it. Doctor Lena. When this woman was she was an MD at Planned parenthood. Just you understand what her moral compass is like. So she understands fully the procedure, although she was not extreme enough for planned parenthood, which is the really one of the most odious and immoral organizations, not just in America today but in all of America

and all of modern history. Here she is, though, talking on CNN about how they're really the CDC is really messing up this whole vaccination post vaccination behavior guidance situation. Play A teen. So we have what thirty million people who are already fully vaccinated, that's almost ten percent of the population, and we have not been giving guidance to these individuals who want to know what is it that I can do now? And the absence of information, they're

making decisions anyway. Some people are throwing away their masks, which is not a good idea. Others just really want to visit their grandchildren, which is something that we should be able to tell people please do that. I'm also very concerned that we're squandering an opportunity to specifically tie these reopening that's already happening in various states with vaccination status. This is the time now to be saying, as an example, maybe you can reopen a hundred percent for people who

are vaccinated, but maybe people who are not vaccinated. If you're not checking vaccination status, you can only open at twenty five percent. Keep masks on, but continue. But we really need to be looking at how vaccination status is tied to reopening and every day that goes by without that kind of specific guidance from the city. See again, the governors, as you were just discussing, and Michael, we're just discussing. Governors are making these decisions anyway, So let's

give them the tools to do so. Go fauci yourself, give me a break. Notice the mic chro management as well. Some places could open up to a certain capacity and other places could open up to another capacity depending on vaccination. Said, how are they going to check any of this? Is? You know, the difference in me and these these little authoritarian tyrants is that I live in the real world. How are they gonna check? How are they gonna know The reason the CDC won't put out guidance is they

know that they can't. If they release their grip a little, people are just gonna say, yeah, you know what, this is nonsense, I'm done. So they're just they'd rather just have total control, or at least believe they have total control over people's behaviors. I know not everyone's listening to them anyway, but this is this is ridiculous. But what they really don't want to say is yeh, if you're vaccinated, you can start living a normal life again. They won't

say that. Why because there's still a risk. There's always still a risk. What is it gonna take for people to understand this. There's always still a risk. There's no such thing as zero risk. But what they're doing is pushing a risk parameters into the into absurdity. And they're destroying freedom, and they're destroying liberty in the process. And for what for what They didn't even they didn't even

make everything better. Let's the other It's not like they saved all these lives and stopped all the cases that ever didn't happen. It didn't happen. We saw they fail. They were wrong. How much more obvious. Does it have to get Oh, but people weren't listening and they weren't doing their masks. I'm here in New York City. We had a second wave. We had a second shutdown. You everyone outside is wearing masks, and there's not even any data to indicate the mask wearing outside is a necessary

precaution against the virus. That's how much we're masking. You know, Switzerland just voted to ban face coverings. They did it really in the context of more extreme adherents of Islam. You'll have women who will wear either in a baya or a burka, or you know, than they wear the nikab, which is the face fail and or burker obviously comes in. Burker always has a face covering face fail. Actually that burker is full. It's just a slit for the eyes. And they voted just by a narrow margin, but the

Swiss vote. It's sorry. Now you have to show your face in public. You're not allowed to cover your face in public. Doesn't matter that you think this is a religious freedom issue. You know, you have to show your face because not showing your face is dehumanizing and breaks down public trust, and it has psychological impacts on society that are really deliterious. We all knew that in this country until twelve months ago, and now they want us to forget that. There are costs to this. This, This

was not something we could just do. Oh, it's not a big deal. No, it is a big deal. The government thinks it can tell me to wear a mask. What else is the government think it can do for my benefit? Where else is the government able to just say you can't live life anymore until you do things my way? You don't think the people that are claiming that climate changes in existential threat will abuse this. If

you don't think so, you're not paying attention. In your view, hours Joe Biden done on climate issues in his first fifty days in office? What grade would you give him? Well, you shouldn't take that from me. I'm just just a teenager, so I'm not I don't have the mandate to to sort of give grades like that. My opinions on this

doesn't matter. You should rather look at the science and whether his policies are in line with the persuiements and to stay below to one on five or even two degrees celsius, and then you can clearly see that no it's not nearly enough in line with the science. And that's not me saying that's just black and white looking at the fact she's learned the tools of propaganda, Well hasn't she. That's missus Greta Thunberg, who is now an adult.

I believe she is eighteen. So that means we're allowed to actually criticize this person who is advocating for policy on a global scale. She's a know nothing. She has no idea what the hell she's talking about, and she even admits that as part of the of the ploy here right, Well, you know, I'm just a teenager. I don't really know. But the science, which is just of course in line with exactly what she thinks she knows. The science says that Biden is not doing enough. How

you liking those higher gas prices? Everybody is that you feel like you feel like you're doing a lot of good things for the for the climate. How those high gas prices feeling right now? Oh yeah, Joe Biden really really getting it done, isn't he. It's It's remarkable, isn't it. For this? This is what we are up against, this is what we seem the I am worried about the US economy. The economy should be on a springboard right now.

I mean the economy should feel like we are loading up a catapult and we're just gonna unleash prosperity all across the land. We fire that sucker, and instead it feels like I'll let could go bad. At a moment, you've got Janet yelling telling us that this package will revive the relief bill will revive our economy. Play three. You know, this is the package we need to revive our economy to where it was. But there are long

term challenges that we have faced for a very long time. Um. We have a key shaped recovery going on in which high income people are doing much better than those at the bottom of the economic ladder, low wage workers and minorities. And that problem frankly existed before the pandemic struck, although

it was made measurably worse by the pandemic. So UM, eventually, when this has passed, UM, we're going to turn to recovery and to build back better and to address the problems that have been festering in the US for a long time leading to rising inequality. So that's the next part of the agenda. But this will be a very important relief, especially to those people who are really struggling. Do you think that this crew knows how to run the economy? You think that they understand how to get

things up and running? I doubt it. You know, this spending package, I'm sure there'll be a moment here we say, oh wow, look at this, Look how this, Look how this gets things up and running, gets things going again, and then there'll be the recognition in some time. Hold on a second, where is this money coming from? How can you spend almost two trillion dollars as though it's nothing without that having an effect on interest rates, without that having an effect on the dollar. Can we just

make it up as we go along? Why not ten trillion? We're really in that territory now we have to start asking questions like why not just spend? Why not go full modern monetary theory? You know, there are prominent democrats, AOCS among them who believe in MMT, which just means you spend whatever you want to spend as a government, and then you do your best to manage inflation when it comes. You know, that's it. You spend whatever you want to spend, whatever you think you need to spend,

you spend. That's modern monetary theory. How far are we right now from that? And look, there was a lot of spending in the Trump administration. I get it. We didn't tackle the debt, we didn't tackle the deficit. Nobody cared, nobody wanted to hear about it. You know, if things felt like they were going well and maga and yeay and all that stuff, But well, now here we are, and the Democrats really could care less about what we

say about that. And I wonder if there's going to be a rise of a Tea Party like movement now when people start to feel like they're telling me inflation is zero, but why is everything more expensive? They're telling me that the economy is good, but why is it so hard to actually produce enough from my labor to be able to get ahead of my bills. You know, there's going to be the economy that they tell you is happening, and then there's going to be the economy

that you are feeling. And I can assure you these are not going to be the same thing. That much. We definitely know, and that's why I'm I am concerned that what will happen is we will see this this uh spike of oh great, everyone's getting these checks and there'll be more economic activity. But we get into maybe the third or fourth quarter of this year, when we

should just be seeing a boom, an economic active. Things should be going great, and all of a sudden, growth is kind of sluggish, and people aren't feeling like they're doing better, and they don't think that they're they're getting wealthier in this whole, in this process, or where I say wealthier, that that their wealth is increasing, not that they're wealthy in the first place. And you know the Democrats are going to do at that point, you guessed it.

Blame Trump. They'll find a way. Guarantee the Senator has never spent two trillion dollars in a more haphazard way or through a less rigorous process. Voters gave Senate Democrats the slimmest possible majority. Voters picked a president who promised unity and bipartisanship. Democrats' response is to ram through what they call quote the most progressive domestic legislation in a generation on a razor sin majority in both houses. The

right path was obvious. We followed it five times last year, five rescue packages totaling four trillion dollars, and none of them got fewer than ninety votes. The Senate wrote the Cares Act, Republicans and Democrats shoulder to shoulder. That was the road to real pandemic relief. But Democrats actually wanted, mister President something else. They explained their intent very clearly to exploit this crisis as a tremendous opportunity to restructure

things to fit our vision. That's how you get this massive bill with only one percent, one percent for vaccinations. Yep, this is what Democrats do. They use a crisis to get exactly what they want. And that's what they're doing here. Why do they wait all this time? Why do they make the American people stand by and suffer during all of this When they could have passed a COVID relief bill last August, when the initial round of funding was largely depleted and people were going to need more help

and businesses were struggling. Why they waited, Well, because they wanted to use this for maximum leverage. That's why. That's why they waited. And this is another another thing that's happening, is they're passing this and it's very much a replay. It feels like a replay of the Obama administration in two thousand and nine. Right, there's a financial crisis, Well,

let's spend almost a trillion dollars on stuff. Want to spend money on that isn't about actually rescuing the banks or from insolvency and the you know, the credit contagion that could have happened afterwards. No, it was more than that. It was Democrats saw a crisis, and they saw an opportunity, and this is what they do, and this is how

they get it done. And let me tell you that there's such a focus on this right now, on the spending bill, the almost two trillion dollars of spending, that there's not nearly the focus there should be on what I call Pelosi's plan to annihilate the GOP forever. I mean, officially it's called the Four the People Act of twenty twenty one, but they should really call it the Democrats turning voting into a free for all while gutting their

political opponents Act. Look, Pelosi's been in office what three plus decades now, representing San Francisco, and Pelosi's been a member of the House almost longer than I've been alive, which is pretty remarkable. And the Four the People Act of twenty twenty one, better known as HR one, is really all about Democrats winning in chaotic and fraud prone elections. In a way, you almost have to respect the Democrats ruthlessness with this bill. As soon as they could, they

wielded their power for maximum advantage with no apologies. That's how they play the game, that's how they get it done. When Republicans find themselves with control of the White House in Congress, you know they're they're content with a decrease in the marginal tax rate, maybe emailing some think tank papers around Capitol Hill. Oh gosh, you all right, you know I'm comparing, you know, what what Milton Freeman said

with with what Friedrich Hyaks said. And then there's John Maynard Keynes, And you know that's a lot of a lot of GOP big brains so to speak, spend their time doing that, and Democrats say, this is what we want, We're gonna get it, and we're gonna do it. They have a will to power and a will to use it. So I almost respect their ruthlessness, although I think it's so bad for the country. That respect is clearly the wrong word. Democrats don't dither when it comes to getting

their way. You know. They introduced HR one four, the People Act, on January fourth, The Democrat controlled House just passed it on March third, and President Joe Biden's now strongly advocating for the Senate to pass it as well so he can sign it into law. I mean, how bad could HR one really be? You might ask, right, it is dressed up with a lot of flowery language about protecting sacred voting rights. Well, here's what HR one

promises to do. Quote to expand Americans access to the ballot box, reduce the influence of big money and politics, strengthen ethics rules for public servants, and implement other anti corruption measures for the purpose of fortifying our democracy. And for other purposes. Ah, yes, for other purposes. Interesting, what other purposes are there? What else do Democrats have in mind? Remember this has already passed the House and the Senate

is going to consider its passage. Joe Biden's pushing forward this could actually happen. It's all meant to sound fair, ethical, nonpartisan, but many of the details of HR one make it clear the primary intent of the bills to replay the only because it's a COVID emergency voting changes from twenty twenty and expand upon the nationwide. Democrats want to eliminate many election safeguards in the name of increasing access and federalize elections in a way that is contrary to constitutional intent.

One of the big changes would be the legalization of the process that we know of as ballot harvesting. Twenty four states have this as illegal right now, but twenty six states have some form of ballot harvesting, which can range a whole lot. In some places, it's only when your family members can do it for you. But you know, ballot harvesting is when a person can take other people's actual physical votes in hand and go turn them in at a polling place on their behalf. Now, this is

not necessarily nefarious. There are some states where family members, for example, are allowed to do this. So if you got if your grandma's ninety five and she wants to vote and she hands you you know you live in her house or you live down the street, she hands you the ballot, Okay, you're gonna go turn that in. But imagine what this means when it's much more widespread. I mean, you've got immediate chain of custody issues with

ballot harvesting. I mean, if community organizers on behalf of a get out the vote effort can collect hundreds of ballots at a time, who to say whether some of them make their way to the polling place. Well, maybe some other ballots find themselves dumped in a trash can. Ballot harvesters, under the guise of helping senior citizens and other easily exploited groups, could encourage votes to go a certain way on the spot, or even fill out the

empty ballots themselves. That's just the start. There's a whole laundry list. There's a whole laundry list of other election integrity measures that are loosened or eliminated in HR one. Friends, this is still very much a live deal. This could happen, and if this happens, we're going to lose the next election too. That's the whole point. Voter ID requirements would be decimated. HR one would give anyone the right to show up on election day and without providing a photo ID,

sign an attestation and vote. That's all they have to do, sign an attestation, So that's where we are. I mean, producer Mark. If I signed an attestation that I was the greatest hockey player that ever lived, that would not make it true, would it? No, No one would not. Yeah. Automatic voter registration would also be enacted. That means anyone who goes to the DMV, uses food stamps, or attends community or state college would be enrolled as a voter.

Some non citizens would also likely be enrolled in error because it leaves it up to the individual to attest their own eligibility. The list goes on and on. You got universal mail and ballots would be sent out to everyone on the voter rolls. They wouldn't be systematically perged of people who have moved out of state. You'd have a lot of people getting ballots in the wrong state, a lot of live ballots out there that shouldn't have been sent. You've got ballots arriving and being encounted long

after election day. Early voting expanded. Felons would have voting rights restored upon release from prison, and as we know, convicts overwhelmingly support Democrats. It's not hard to see the pattern here. Democrats believe these changes would help them win elections. They don't care about the risks of fraud because they believe they'll benefit from the chaos, the loopholes, the Shenanigans.

Elections aren't supposed to be federalized in this way, but constitutional objections mean nothing of Democrats like Pelosi, who, as we all know, sees a pathway to becoming a permanent majority. That's really what this is all about. A number of COVID nineteen, A number of states rather have used COVID nineteen for these temporary changes. In the twenty twenty elections cycle, they got things like a huge increase in mail in

balloting nationwide. States like Pennsylvania extended the deadline account mail in ballots beyond the actual election. With these changes to election rules, Democrats were able to accomplish big wins in the twenty twenty election. We know Biden officially beat Trump by about seven million votes. A huge portion of the country still believes, despite the social media prohibitions on questioning the election, that there was substantial fraud. That's the reality.

They can tell us, we're not allowed to say it. They can tell us we're not allowed to talk about but that's reality. If HR one becomes law, it will further hurt election integrity and confidence, and could rapidly turn America into a day facto one party state where the losers no longer have faith that the system is fair or worth preserving. Okay, that's where we are. That's what

we see happening here. So you've got almost two trillion dollars spending bill where Democrats are getting whatever they want, and they're trying to ram through a change the election process. We haven't even talked about amnesty and what that would do. We haven't even talked about the expansion of the Democrats, you know, in their own mind, the expansion of what's possible or probable for them to get done if they get rid of the filibuster. And people are already talking

about how HR one might be. I thought it would be amnesty, But maybe what they use, or where they decide the filibuster has to be used, is for HR one worth it, even though there'd be blow but back worth it, even though people would recognize this is an egregious overreach because it'll change the game forever, that's the way they see it. What do you think Democrats would be unwilling to do if they found that a certain action would put them in power for the rest of

my lifetime. Let's say, I mean for decades to come. Where do you think they would draw the line on that. HR one is supposed to be the death knell of the Republican Party. That's what is playing out, and that is what we are seeing. Everybody should be very clear on what those implications are. Everybody should really understand what this means. And yet there's so little focus on this. Republicans right now, aren't. We're only united insofar as we're

all suffering from bad Democrat decision making. But we need a counter narrative as well. We can't just say, look at what they're doing, it's bad. It's look at how bad what they're doing and what we would do differently. And that's a piece that's missing right now that we need to Reinstate. President Biden supports raising the minimum wage to fifteen dollars an hour. That is where he stands.

That's where he stood for a long time. He believes strongly that that's the level at which people in this country who are working full time can make a living wage and not be living in poverty. And he believes that that's a fundamental matter of values. He doesn't believe that anybody in this country should work full time and

be living and be living in poverty. You know what I would say, Jake, is you know they're currently but there are currently no active discussions about lowering the threshold. These are details that are going to get worked out. We just the Senate just passed our American Rescue Plan, this massive effort to get aid to people who need

it across the country and make these investments. So we're going to the conversation is going to turn to how we tackle the minimum wage, and but the President is looking forward to working with Congress to determine the best way to do it. But what I can say to you right now is the President is committed to raising the minimum wage to fifteen dollars an hour. Committed to

raising the minimum wage for fifteen dollars an hour. Even though anybody that you know who owns or runs a small business will tell you that the fifteen dollars minimum wage is one of these ideas that sounds good, it sounds great. Actually, I mean, I can't say anything other than yeah, of course, I want people to be paid

well for their work. I want workers to feel like they're getting a fair deal here, for sure, But then there's economics and there's the reality of money and productivity and how businesses would handle this, and it's just not we keep coming back this. It's not what people want to believe it is. And I mean when I say people, those who are pushing for a fifteen dollars minimum wage. Eight Democrats in the Senate voted against voted no on

the fifteen dollars minimum wage component of this. You know, they wanted an increase waged by fifteen dollars an hour, two fifteen dollars an hour by twenty twenty five. On Friday, eight members of the Senate Democratic Caucus voted against it. And there was an effort by Bernie Sanders to get rid of to waive a procedural objection to add of the fifteen dollars minimum wage for a COVID nineteen relief package, and that was that was defeated fifty eight forty two.

So the people who voted against it are Joe Manchin, Kristin Cinema, Jean Sheheen, Maggie Hassan, John Tester, Tom Carper, and Chris Coons. And this is this is showing your right right now that oh at Angus Angus King one of the dumbest senators of all of them. And this is showing you that there's not actually unanimity on this. And it's in part, I think because people who understand what this will do to some small businesses, there will be job losses that happen. People will get fired, and

there'll be more. We're required of employees who stay on the who stay employed but have the fifteen dollars minimum wage now as as the floor for what their pay would be. Understand that really very few places have the federal minimum wage, even if they're all generally being paid more than the federal minimum wage. But there are supply demand issues, I mean economics. As much as we want to believe that it can be changed to suit social

policy and social justice, that's not how it works. And then there's also I think there's it's worth getting and it's worth adding into this that why go right to fifteen? I mean, it's it's basically seven twenty five right now or something like that. I think it's seven dollars and no one even no one really it's used in so

few places. People don't even know what it is. Oh wait, wait, wait, before we get let's get to the actually dumbest member of the United States, Senate Maizie Hirono, who says the minimum wage should be able here it is play sixteen

fun thing. The minimum wage should be in this bill because raising the minimum wage for the people who are most adversely affected by the pandemic should get a minimum wage, which we have an increase in a decade or so, and it's a minimum wage I kept up with inflation, etc. It would be at least twenty dollars an hour. So here we are, we're among the last and all of the developed nations in terms of our minimum wage. So

it should be in the bill. And frankly, I'm not going to blame the parliamentarian, but what I hope is that we will change the filibuster rules so that it will take a majority bill rather than having the Republicans continue to be a roadblock to all of this kind of legislation that will actually help American people. So you're saying you support ending the filibuster to get through future democratic legislative priorities. I definitely support filibuster reform, and part

of that is ending the filibuster. It could be totally or it could be for certain kinds of bills. But I'm definitely open to making those kinds of changes so we can get things done that helps people, as opposed to not doing anything, which is the Republican's posture. Yep, get rid of the filibuster. Democrats talking about it openly.

They want to create the pressure to get some people like Mansion to go along with them the Democrats side, and then it's open season for whatever crazy policies they want. Governor Cuomo running into some trouble. He's got trouble. What's the latest trouble for Governor Cuomo. Well, he's got five, count them, five accusers now females who are saying that he engaged in various degrees of sexual harassment and workplace misconduct. But Governor Cuomo is also saying that he does not

plan to resign. What would it take to get this guy to resign, or better, what would it take to make him actually get impeached. We've got somebody who can tell us about that and more. Our buddy Joe Borelli in the House, New York City councilman from Statn Island, which is still technically part of New York City. Joe, good to have you back. Always great to be here, and thank you. And you know, this is one of my favorite topics because it can't be happening to a

nice of God. How well known is it for everybody out there? How well known is it that Andrew Cuomo is just not a good guy? I mean, before all this, I think people should know about this. Oh oh yeah, I mean it is tremendously well known. I mean, to be fair, I had never heard of any any claim of sexual harassment or anything of that nature, but just a general evil nature of this guy has been known

since he was a boy. You know. His nickname growing up as the governor's son was called the Dark Prince. The Legislative Correspondence Association does the dinner similar to the White House Correspondence Dinner, and they parody people. And they actually used to parody the Governor's son Andrew in nineteen eighty whatever as Darth Vader. I mean, that's how terrible of a human this man has been, and how long his reputation of being just a terrible person goes on.

For now, we have the New York State Senate Majority leader calling on Cuomo to resign. He already said he won't resign, right. He says he won't resign because he wants to wait for an investigation to be completed. He says, he's a just allegations or accusations or whatever. And so he's saying he won't resign. New York State Senate majority

they're asking, you know, calling on him to resign. I mean, at some point this turns into it's clear he's not going to do that, right, Joe, there's no way in your estimation he's going to resign, right, No, No, And this turns into a proverbial peeing contest. I think at some point between the majority leaders and the Assembly speaker and the governor, and I think he's going to make them, you know, basically call the bluff and see if they'll

actually investigate and have an impeachment hearing. The problem for Governor Cuomo is that I think there's actually enough vote, certainly with Republicans, there's enough vote to impeach the governor on impeachable offenses. I mean that the standards to be impeached are not the same as criminal liability. And it's fairly obvious that there was willful and deliberate cover up

of the nursing home scandal. I mean, forget, forget the sexual harassment for a moment, but the nursing home scandal is so plainly obvious, and just from what we know from the Attorney General's report that he has committed impeachable offenses. This drip, drip drip of stories and allegations and problems is becoming quite the puddle which mister Cuomo finds himself in today. Do you think that there's there's a real chance that he may be removed? I mean, that is

that serious? Yeah, I actually do, and I know he does too, because he's out there calling legislators very desperately, both on the New York City Council and around the state legislature, asking them not to make statements on his own resignation. Now bear in mind you this is someone in twenty eighteen who called on the resignation of Eric Schneiderman, then Attorney General. Schneiderman for the accusation in one solitary article in Vanity Fair. And let's suppose the twenty twenty

one Andrew Pomo is right. Maybe accusations are something that you shouldn't resign, or especially if you do leave your innocent. Fine, but that's not what he said when it was Schneiderman. That's not what he said when it was a guy named Vito Lopez. That's not what he said when it was a guy named Dennis Gaberjack. That's not what he said when it was a guy named Micah Kellmer. And the list goes on. I mean, the names are irrelevant

to the audience. They probably aren't familiar with them. But the names are all of men who have been accused of sexual harassment. I couldn't even tell you the outcome of their ethics investigations or fact finding stuff, but they all resigned in shame and pushed out the door by none other than Andrew Bomo Amy Roebock, who is at ABC News. I guess I never watched the network news broadcasts. It's amazing to me that anybody does, quite honestly, but

they still do have, you know, big audiences. She was on Good Morning America over the summer. And now this is granted, this is before the sexual raspan allegations, but I just want everyone to get a little trip down memory lane for the way the media was responding to treating propping up elevating Governor Cuomo this past summer. Here she is played too in one word? Can you describe the past one hundred days? He can? I see that, Yeah, you can. I think that's there. What still keeps you

up at night? You've been commended for your clear and your calm leadership. People from all over the country, in the world have tuned into your press conferences. Your state wide approval rating a career high eighty four percent. You came in second only to President Obama as the most trusted Democratic leader in America. How do you intend on spending that political capital that you've earned? If you had to give President Trump a grade on how he's handled

this pandemic, what would you of him? Well? Great? Would you give yourself? You've said that you have no political aspirations beyond the job you're in right now, right A lot of people are asking why why not think about something grander, bigger presidential? Would you accept a cabinet position in a Biden administration? That was a quick no, why not? I know that you've been portrayed as some sort of a homecoming king of this crisis and headline from Jezebel help,

I think I'm in love with Andrew Cuomo. The New York Post dubbed you the new love gov. Chelsea Handler wrote you a love letter essay in Vogue entitled Dear Andrew Cuomo, I want to be your first lady. You're a reaction to all that, your daughter's reaction to all of that. When are you going to hug your mom again? It's a very powerful interview when he is no holds part. He says exactly what he's thinking, as you know, that's his style. Well, you can see that you asked the

tough questions. I tell you that much as well. Yeah, oh yeah, the tough questions. What's your reaction to the man? I mean, there's so much there. I know, Joe, but wow, it Buck, It's insane. But I mean, this is a guy. You have to realize. For everything the media did to prop this man up, to celebrate his sexy handsomeness and the Cuomo sexual no one is as big of a proponent and proper upper of Andrew Cuomo than Andrew Cuomo himself. I mean, this is a guy who just fundamentally wants

to aggrandize himself at every single opportunity. The man made posters of himself celebrating the win against COVID, which did not happen. The man wrote a book, as we all know, leadership lessons about a pandemic that wasn't solved. And then you answer that just this constant and never ending, whether it's any Roebuck or a Vogue magazine or whoever else, just claiming this guy as this princely masculine model of sexiness.

It was absurd then and it looks so stupid now, I mean so fundamentally stupid now in hindsight after the sexual harassment allegations. Same thing with the whole family aspect of how we all followed who was having dinner at his house the boyfriend. I mean, think about this charade, this guy went on a charade, but that he's this tough guy dad protecting his daughters from exactly the type of creepy older man that Andrew Cuomo actually is. But

it's just top to bottom, soup to nuts insane. Why are people in New York state politics all the way down to you know, state state assemblymen or state senators, some city council folks, present company excluded, Why are they also scared of this guy. I mean, you get the sense that people are worried that, like Andrew Cuomo, is going to have them disappear in the middle of the night. I mean, clearly that's not what he does. But why

are they so terrified of him? That's a great question, because he follows through and he's popular enough where his support could make or break careers for Democratic officials. He also has been clear that the rules don't apply to him. He threatened, think about it. He threatened openly over the weekend to release the files of Jacob which is the state's investigative arm, which he's already been accused of interfering.

The Albany Times Union, a pretty powerful paper in Albany. Actually, we're in whole article how he uses the State Ethics Commission as his own personal defense team. He threw out there, well, if you think I should resign, maybe I'll throw out all the accusations about all the legislators. Now, he's just

supposed to be confidential. Right, A young woman or whoever goes to the State Ethics Department and says I have a serious allegation against Assemblyman Jones, that's supposed to be confidential. And here's this guy just dangling it out there. We saw him blackmail in real time ron Kim. Ron Kim had terrible things to say about him, granted right, accusations

that he killed nursing whole patients, all that, right. But he told the press he said, well, he's threatened ron Kim personally and said I'm going to destroy you and leak damaging information if you don't change your official statement on nursing homes. And then he actually went out in a press conference and spun this whole story, whether it's true or not, as relevant but damaging that ron Kim is beholden to some you nail salon, underground lobbyist racket.

I mean, that's how insane the guy is. Right, those are things he just did publicly. Now there's a laundry list of things he did privately to try to get one over on people. He's excluded me from press conferences on stuff I supported and voted for. He's you know, there's allegations that he's used the State Liquor Authority during COVID to target certain businesses, certainly businesses that suit him. So this is a guy who goes there and this is a guy who rewards people that work below him

for acting in the same manner. What has to happen we're speaking of Joe Barelli, city councilman from New York, from Staten Island. Joe, what has to happen for uh, for for Cuomo to actually go at this point, man, we talked about impeachment and removal by the state legislature. How long would that take and what do you think would have to change for them to actually be willing to take action on that. Well, there's no precedent for impeachment.

The last one who was impeached was Governor plane Bill Selzer. They used to call him back in nineteen thirteen, and the guy was a Tammany governor and actually was a straight shooter and Tammany was very upset that he wasn't giving them patronage or kickbacks or whatever it was, and they actually had the guy impeach. So wait, so they impeached the guy for not being corrupt? Correct, plane Bill Seltzer's it's worth everyone's you know, fifteen seconds of googling

when when they're you know, picking their nose later. Um, but but yeah, I mean, there's no precedent, so we don't really know how long it will take to draft charges and it have to trial, etc um. But I think that's the only way. I think another way he goes is if the President weighs in. I think another way he goes as if Schumer and Jillibrand and basically the federal apparatus, the National Party. He doesn't care about

the state party. He controls the state party. The number one state Democrat is in his own good, so he doesn't care about the state party. He does care about the DNC. He cares about his national profile, and if those people are now leveraging him to leave, I think that's the only chance to Again. The other thing is in cornering politician Democrats and making them declare at this point now that they won't support him for re election

in two years. And I think that's another way he'll see the exit door, if not immediately, but at least won't run for real. So the National Party would have to turn on him, and then there may be consequences from his own state party. You think or you think that the National Party would would pressure him to resign. I think the National Party could pressman can resign. I mean that that that's where his care is. That's who

he's concerned with. You know, he's already proven he can beat back some of the more radical progressives that pose him ideologically within the State Democratic Party. So it is really the pressure, I believe from above. I think if he loses Joe Biden, if Joe Biden finds out which room he is in at any point in the day and he realizes that who Andrew Cuomo is and he weighs in, I think is a good chance he goes Joe Burrell, everybody, councilman for New York from Stotton Island. Joe,

I always appreciate your insights. My friend talks, So thank you Buck, thank you well. I would say two things right now, as you've indicated just today, we're dealing with I think the most consequential piece of legislation for working people in the modern history of this country. And we're doing that to a reconciliation process, which means that we

only need fifty votes plus the Vice President. And as you know, this legislation is going to provide fourteen hundred dollars for a working class person and their children's can extend unemployment with a four hundred dollars supplement on top of normal unemployment. Put a whole lot of money into education so that we can reopen our schools, expand healthcare. It is enormously important. Sadly enough, we have zero Republican support.

So your point is well taken. In one way or another, We're gonna have to do what the American people want us to do. This COVID bill we're debating today enormously popular among Democrats, independence, Republicans, and if we cannot get Republican support in one way or another, we've got to go forward. Now you ask me about the filibustate, is my position absolutely that democracy has got to prejail in

the United States Senate. We cannot cannot have continue to have a minority who are obstructing what the American people want. So count me in as somebody who believes that majority should rule in the Senate so that we can begin doing the business of the American people. We cannot have a minority obstructing what the American people want. All of a sudden, bodies about the filibuster removal does not want

the filibuster not a surprise. Is it obstruction? Obstruction? This is what they said all all you have to do is go back to what the debates were like, the discussions were like around the Obama administration when Republicans didn't do what Congress wanted them to, and it quickly turns into obstruction. Now, when Democrats did everything in their power to abuse rules and precedent when they were in the minority,

was resistance, hashtag resistance. But when Democrats in the majority, if Republicans don't actively collude with their big government plans, they are obstructionists. Isn't it fascinating how quickly that turns. It's very very clear how that happens. Oh, one thing, we'll get into more on the border tomorrow. But what's been fascinating is how it's how Democrats have been trying very hard to convince everyone that, oh, no, there's not

a crisis at the border. There. It's just a really bad situation that's spiraling out of control that we can't really handle. But there's not a crisis at the border. Here's Jen Saki on that play fourteen. Usman or leader Kevin McCarthy. He's requesting a meeting of President Biden the botanist issue. He's also asking President Biden to acknowledge the crisis. Will President Biden take that meeting, and I'll ask it again,

will he acknowledged that there's a crisis. Well, First, the President and this administration's focus is on digging out of the dismantled and inhumane immigration approach of the last administration. And that's why the President has proposed an immigration bill that would not only address the root causes that Leader McCarthy referenced in his letter, but would move beyond the policy of funding and effective border walls by investing in smart security at ports of entry, and would also create

a pathway to citizenship. And we would welcome the openness or desire to engage on that from the Leader or any Democrat or Republican who wants to have a conversation about a constructive pass forward. Yeah, investing in smart security at ports of entry? What does that even mean? Right? I mean, they say these things and you all know that they're just trying to avoid telling you the truth

about what's happening in the border. I also get very agitated every time I hear Democrats refer to border walls that don't work. Border walls work. It's very obvious, it's very clear there should really be no debate on this. The question might be how well they work and how you can make them work better? But they work, They work better than the one percent mask mandate effectiveness. Okay,

that's for damn sure. Border walls do work. But Democrats don't want border security, but they're not willing to say that openly, so they play this game. Democrats on immigration want to have it both ways. They want to pretend they believe in rule of law and border security while allowing for a day facto open border, because that's how

a nation of immigrants, in their eyes, should operate. That's what's going on here and the cry this is getting worse and we will dive into the into it some more tomorrow with all of the latest from our southern border. The show ain't over yet, folks. It's time for roll call producer Mark, Buddy, how was the weekend? What did you get into? Tell? Tell the folks they want to know. They hear from me for like hours, but you know then now it's producer Mark's time to tell everybody what's

going on. Howard things? Well, my arm hurts a bit from what the vaccine? Oh is it a little sore it's a little sore. But if that's the only side effect, I'm cool. Yeah. No, hopefully you're not going to grow like a second head or something. Then i'd have two producer marks telling me to be on time for things. Yeah, somehow, I think there would have been a media report by now if somebody grew a second head. That's I think that's true. I think you're pretty safe around there at least.

Think this way. If you did grow a second head, you would be um, you'd be an anomaly, and and you'd probably get like an interview with you know, various TV stations about it. That's true. I might become rich off of that. So maybe I'm right, Like not like an Oprah level interview, but like you would get some kind of interview. Yeah, I'd get attention. Was it which one was it? By the way, the Maderna? No, it was the one shot John. I mean, they make such

nice baby powder and shampoo. I feel like you got to trust them, you know exactly. It did not no audience right now is people are like, how no Buck, no, big Pharma, don't trust them. But you know, I don't know. I like I had their baby shampoo when I was a kid, you know, because it gets in if it gets in your eyes, it won't hurt you know that stuff. So no tears shampoo. Yeah, that's right, that Johnson, And that's what that was like my first shampoo as a kid.

I remember that no tears baby shampoo. I could have just learned to close my eyes, but you know, I was a slow learner, so I had to have the tears. Big head, slow owner, slow learner. A big head, slow learner, definitely. I can put that on a T shirt. Any anything fun you watch or check out or anything like that going on. Off the weekend, my wife and I watched the first six episodes. I think of WandaVision. I've not even heard of this before. Have you not even heard

of it? Yes? On Disney Plus. It's the newest Marvel thing. It involves the character's Wanda and vision, hence the name WandaVision. It's very interesting. It's different than anything you've ever seen from Marvel before. It's a TV show. I enjoyed it so far. Okay, okay, I mean, have you tried to sell missus Mark on the boys or she just not? She was all into WandaVision This weekend, I couldn't even we were waiting. So they were doing the two episodes a week thing, so we decided to wait until it

was all out. So we just kind of binged, Yeah, this's no princess, people. I posted a photo of her over the weekend on Instagram and so now people know that, which is good exactly. I think there were some people who thought that like, either this no Princess was just a code name for Tolulu the French bulldog, or that there wasn't really a human being here. You know, they were starting to have their doubts. So no, no, she is real, and there's a photo of me and her

in Miami. Really, it was just because we were having a nostalgic moment. I'm at Miami and I'm like, i gotta post a Miami photo because man, it's it's nice her. So yeah, well you've never you know, I haven't seen you in a year, buddy, are you But have you grown like a big lockdown beard or anything yet? Or you know, I'm incapable of growing a beard, So I look almost exactly the same, maybe a little heavier, but

aren't we all? That makes that makes two of us, by the way, yeah, all my suits right now are like a little a little snug around the middle, which is just a constant reminder that I just need to wear sweats all the time. I mean, I'm a wedding coming up in June. I just expect to have to go buy a new soup. Oh, I'm I'm right there

with you, buddy. My brother is getting married this summer in August, and I'm I'm hoping I would say that I'm positive I will, but I'm hoping that I'll be able to get back to my you know, my like fitting well into my my suit from the past, because otherwise, yeah, I gotta go get another one. Yeah, but wouldn't you rent a tux or something for your brother's wedding? Aren't you in the wedding party? I think I don't think

it's a tuxedo time. I think it's a suit. I guess it depends on the bride usually, Yeah, yeah, black tie. Not everyone does the black tie thing, so it depends. But anyway, Yeah, so I hung out with the Snow Princess. We basically just just chillaxed. I got a I got a new TV because I found out that getting my TV fixed. This was quite a This is quite a mathematical, mathematical challenge. Getting my TV fixed by Samsung was gonna

cost me four hundred dollars. Getting my TV brand new instead of four years old was going to cost me five hundred and fifty dollars. So I decided to just get a brand new TV. It feels kind of wasteful, like I'm like, I'm building up the landfills of the world or something. But what am I gonna do? You know, I'm not gonna put four hundred dollars to fix an old TV. When I get a new TV for you know, on one hundred and fifty bucks more, you probably just sell the old TV too, So I want to buy it.

Who knows how to fix it? Maybe I don't know. I don't. I wonder what the value is in that. But it's like when you find out that a car is worth less than what it would cost to really fix it. You know, that's kind of where we're TV TVs are a remarkable and I really mean this. TV's are a remarkable expression of flat screens of capitalism. Because I remember being in college and getting like one of those big cathode tube TVs that weighed like one hundred

and twenty pounds and the bigger the screen. You know, TVs used to be really expensive. Do you remember this? Are you too young? Yeah? I remember when, like my grandmother bought me this huge box TV tube TV and it was only like maybe thirty inches wide, which is nothing compared to what you can get now in a flat screen. And that was like the latest technology. Oh yeah, And you know TVs used to be like three feet deep,

you know, they were big, bulky, heavy things. Yeah, And I I mean now you can get a really good name brand flat screen, you know, forty some odd inch or fifty some odd inch TV for a few hundred bucks. It's amazing when you think about it. I mean how much the technology has improved. But then again, we all carry around supercomputers in our pockets all the time, known as smartphones. And I mean I still remember when having a beeper, that's right, having a beeper was like cutting

edge technology. Yeah, I'm not that old too, Yeah, you're not that old. Yeah, I mean beepers originally they were for doctors and drug dealers, but then they went through a little phase where people had their beepers on them so that you could just like have your friends call you, and then you'd know to call them back, you know, when you were out and about. But then then they got replaced by the cell phone. But it's pretty the whole thing is pretty remarkable. All right, let's get to

roll call Charles kicking us off. Remember Facebook dot com, slash buck Sex and Oh team, I have a favorite ask I meant to ask you this too. Please write review, use on iTunes on the Apple Podcast Store of our podcast and give it five stars. It has been brought to my attention that we do not have we have a huge audience for the podcast, and we don't have nearly the reviews in terms of a proportion that we should, and so we get penalized in the Apple podcast Store

for this. So please tell people if you love the Bucks X and show, just give it. Look, I don't even care if you love it, just give it five stars. Okay, do it for producer Mark if you won't, do it for me and write a review about how the show is cool and you like it and Producer Mark makes fun of me and it's good, you know, do something

like that. And if we could just get a whole bunch of you to do that, it would really really help us Out'll take you fifteen seconds, so please write a review for the Bucks X and show on Apple Podcasts. Give it five stars. If you're listening to this, all right, let's get to it. Charles Hey Buck Charles here in Florida. My martial arts teacher told me a long time ago that as humans, we only have the rights we can enforce.

That means that might makes right in the end. Nobody ever won a war or a fight because they were morally correct. Example Roversus Wade. They made the wrong decision to quell the crazies. Clearly more people have always thought it was wrong. With that in mind, I think back through my life. The right seems to always think that it's about what's right and good that promotes individualism. The left aximum place of fear and gathers in numbers. They

outnumber the right in every aspect of life. This means that when you take your case to court, if you happen upon a lib judge, you're done, and you probably will. This means that if you watch TV, you're being indoctriated by the owners of the station, who are probably libs. This means if you go to the movies, you'll see subliminal messages of wokeness because the director and producer are probably libs. Your kid is probably being taught by a lib.

It's hard to fight back when you're outnumbered and they know it, and now they're bringing in more. Sorry to be such a downer. Well, Charles, you're in Florida. I man, it's beautiful down there. You've got no state income tax, You've got Governor Ron des Santis who in the line for freedom. You got a lot of good things to be happy about, my man, So start with that. As for as for your your being outnumbered point here, or how we're outnumbered all these places, It's not just a

question of sheer numbers. It's also a function of the lib mentality. The lib mentality is that they have to inflict their bad ideas on all the rest of us. They don't. They don't view of neutral spaces as as desirable or even really possible. So you know, if I go, let's say, to work at a at a company that sells shoes, as a conservative, I'm thinking, how do I sell the best shoes? How do I make the most profit?

How do I make our shareholders happy while making our customers happy with the great shoes we're making and that we we create something of value for society. And in that process, a lib goes to work in a shoe company and thinks, yeah, all that other stuff, you know whatever, But really, what is this shoe company doing to address oppression? What is this shoe company doing to address systemic racism or sexism or you name it. So it's a difference

in approach. So you're much more aware of the politics of the left because they want to use whatever they can as a platform for those politics. And we've seen that wokeism all throughout corporate America as a result. So, Charles, it's not just a sheer numbers thing. It's also about the mentality. It's also about the approach. In Buck, I share your optimism regarding states that have finally opened up.

Hopefully Texas has enough herd immunity to absorb all these COVID plus illegal aliens they're dropping off in the interior or wherever they go once they get to the bus station. Ian, I think that the reopening is you know, we were moving in the right direction, but the lockdowners are fighting it. You know, they're fighting it with everything they've got. And I think that that means we're going to be extended

here longer than we should for sure. And as for illegal aliens, you know that, Look, there's not a lot of there's not a lot of illegal immigrants who are going to be you know, who are going to be in the grand scheme of COVID positivity across the country. This is not changing it one way or the other.

We're talking about probably hundreds, maybe a few thousand cases, but it's just really the government's approach to this, which is whatever restrictions they have to put you under your business, under a limit, maybe one percent of cases in an area, they'll do. But they'll actually actively send people with COVID nineteen into the country illegally not supposed to be here in the first place, and have no problem with that. All right, Albert buck mate, I'm from England. Piers Morgan

is not considered right wing. He's a Champagne socialist who says things to get attention. He is hated by every conservative in this country, actually by everyone in the country. Yeah, Albert, I know my Instagram live guest, you know, Case Smith said that Piers Morgan was right wing and I was kind of shocked by that because I have never seen or heard that. But she's from the UK. I'm not so. I kind of deferred to her on it at the time. But Piers Morgan is not a concern. The guy's anti gun.

He's not conservative in the American sense. I don't know what he is in the British sense. I don't know the guy. I don't understand why anybody cares when he thinks about anything, but he somehow manages to put his name in the media, put his name in the headline. Still, I don't know for what exactly, but there you go, Russell, Uncle Buck, thank you for finally talking about the fact that Libs don't debate anymore. They rarely ever have conversations

with people who disagree with them. I truly believe that if I were an AOC fan and saw her get dismantled by any prominent conservative, it would totally change my perspective. Please keep pushing debate, challenge prominent Libs, call them out. It'd be amazing to see, though I don't though I doubt any of them would accept when they don't X, I don't well hold on, I doubt any of them

would accept. But when they don't accept. You can say it's because they know I will destroy them shields Way High Russell, I'm with you on that man, Thanks so much. And yeah, libs. Libs do not debate. There are all these brands that are that are supposed to be public intellectuals who are leftists, and what we see is that they really have no actual interest in a debate of any kind. They if they have people on to represent the alternative point of view of conservatism, they're there only

to just get annihilated and get mocked and destroyed. And that's that's obviously not moving the debate forward in any meaningful sense. I mean, let me ask you, have you seen think about people. Have you ever seen Rachel Mattaw or Anderson Cooper or Chris Hayes, or just go down the list, any of these people in a debate with a prominent conservative who can really hold his own or her own No, you don't see that. Why is that

because the left won't debate. Continuing on with our Monday roll call, we got Nate Hey Buck, great work, keep it up. There's a much simpler reason for the fences in DC lockdown. All the fearmongering is simply a smokescreen. The real reason is to avoid Democrat embarrassment when President silver Alert forgets who where he is and wanders off. Would hate to lose him. Uh so Nate's making a joke, producer Mark, Right, Yes, I believe he's joking about our president. Yes,

well not our president, but you know what I mean. Yeah, yeah, well it's technically a president. What is a silver Alert? I think maybe a life alert button. Maybe that's the joke. Okay, is that like a version of a life alert, like like the Remember remember that old commercial I fall it and I can't get up? Remember that? Of course? Yeah, that that commercial became like a cultural icon for a while because of the of the old lady that that was.

You know, yell that thing depressure, summer suffage, depressure. Yeah, it's that. That's he is our president, Mark, That is true. It's true. Yeah, we're not allowed to go shout in the streets, not our president. We don't do something. I just want everyone to remember that I told them that that the day will come when the guy basically walks out on stage without his pants on, I mean metaphorically speaking,

or maybe even without his pants. It's gonna do that, and there are gonna be a lot of Libs out there whose position on all of this is um Oh, we had no idea, but I guess we've just got to make Kamalo the president. Now, that's what's gonna end up happening bad. It kept turn scrubbing Scuba. That's what's gonna That's what Biden's gonna say about it when it happens. Pablo, Oh, I know this is gonna be unpopular, but here it goes. I think that if Trump ran in one again, it

could earth the party. Here's my reasoning. If he won, he would be a newly elected lame duck candidate. It would have been different if he was reelective, but now he'd be a one term president again. I was on board with Donald J. Trump for the time he came down the elevator, but now I do believe he would be better in the role of figurehead for the GOP. The ticket I would love to see, and I know it's early, is a desantist Pompeo ticket. I believe this

ticket is the one the GOOP could get behind. One of your thoughts, you know, Pablo, I don't I don't have a ticket in mind right now. Obviously, I think Desantists has really shown us some great stuff in the last year, and I gotta give some all due credit to Desantists, but I mean a Pompeo ticket. You know, maybe I like the former Secretary of State. Is I think he'd be good? I don't. I don't know. I gotta think about it. As to your thoughts on Trump,

I gotta think about that too. But we're at the end of the show, so I can kind of hit the bailout and come back to it button. Pablo, team, please give me those reviews on the Apple podcast store of The Buck Sexton Show, five stars write a little something nice, Producer Mark, I'll appreciate it. Shield's Eye
