Hidin' Biden Keeps Declinin'

If we're going to shut down Congress? The United States Congress will say, sorry, we're too frightened right now, we're too under threat because of something that someone saw on the internet. Law enforcement sensitive, that's what they're saying. Can't tell you what it is. I know what law enforcement sensitive means. It's whatever somebody who happens to work for

a law enforcement agency decides to call it. There's really no specific classifying authority or anything else, and it can be very often open source stuff that just happens to catch the attention of individuals who maybe looking for, oh, I don't know, a way to please their bosses, who are saying, we got to find some threat reporting here because we've been told by the people who write the checks that that's what needs to happen. Now, I'm not

saying there isn't a threat. I'm not saying there aren't QAnon crazies who have posted stuff on the internet about how they're going to storm the coupitl again. But you're gonna shut down Congress for this? Do we really think that this QAnon threat is going to result in a battalion sized engagement against thousands of National Guard or on the Capitol? I mean, is that what we're supposed to believe? I just want to know, why are they shutting this down?

Why would they bend the nee to online lunatics in this way unless it's really not about security and safety and all that at all. This is something that I see here. I used to work in threat reporting and in the national security side of things. I was at the CIA's counter Terrorism Centers, the NYPD's Intelligence Division. So I can tell you that if you want to find and any given day you want the ability to say, oh, there's a there's a threat. Remember during the early days

of homeland security. Oh today we're in an orange day. We're in a yellow day of threat. Maybe it's Shartruz, maybe it's more like Burgundy. Oh, I don't know. Does it go with my shoes? Remember all that the color coded threat days. And at that point there were civil libertarians, there were people who were left of center who were willing to say, this is government overreach, this is madness.

You can't have this. But now the Democrat Party, the left, the ACLU, all of it, all of it onboard for authoritarianism, onboard for stamping out discent, destroying the Republican Party, silencing opposing voices in our politics. It's necessary, you see, to defend our republic from the threat of q Anon. I've never even met somebody who believed in qann. Republicans have a ninety seven I believe percent negative view of it,

thinking that it's nonsense. And yet here we are being told and by to get ninety seven percent of people aren't sure that, you know, stubbing their toe is a bad thing, right, So ninety seven percent is actually pretty high. And we're shutting down the Capitol. Why are we doing this? Why are we shutting down Congress right now? How has this decision been made? You know? I just spoke to Congressman Devin Nunas yesterday. He's in the House Intelligence Committee.

Is there is there any threat reporting that has him worried? No? Why is it that only Democrat members of Congress are speaking to the press about this, because it's about the optics. It's about making sure that they can continue with this narrative that DC that the Capitol, the sacred sanctum of our democracy. Right, the United States Capitol Building is under a constant threat from QAnon, and by QAnon, they really

just mean Trump supporters. That's the jump that all these CNN watchers, all the MSNBC viewers immediately make New York Times readers when when someone writes or says QAnon, what they hear is oh, Trump people. And then they feel very justified with the continuation of the purge of conservative ideas, of conservatives from social media platforms, kicking them out of their jobs, having corporations openly spit in their faces with

these ridiculous statements of wokeness. Right, that's what's actually going on, but they think it's entirely justified. They have to perpetuate this exaggerated, this hysterical narrative about how the capital is under threatened. At any moment, it could just spill over and we might lose our democracy unless we have thousands of soldiers, unless we have a preparation for what looks like at foreign invasion in our nation's capital. It's so absurd.

The people I know who are in DC and who are watching this play out just say, it's it's obvious that this is for theatrical purposes, that this is so that they can have you know, ap AP photographers and you know Reuters journalists and CNN correspondents standing in front of the fenced in Capitol building any moment now, those Trump supporters, those Trump supporters are going to come after us.

This is really a similar mentality to your neighbor who thinks that if you don't wear three masks when you're driving alone in your car, you don't take the virus seriously. This is a state of hysteria. I think we also have to remember that because of the panic porn purveyors, because of the way that we've all been made to feel so afraid of coronavirus and have accepted authoritarianism in

America almost without question in many cities. I mean, it's the cities that have been the worst for this, and they've just gone along with whatever absurd fauciism has been inflicted upon us. But you see this, it continues to play out, and you realize that the American people are emotionally a lot of them emotionally unwell. Right now, there is a mass psychosis that has descended on this country along with a viral pandemic, and people are exploiting it.

This is a time of near universal anxiety and often exaggerated fear, and there are cynical, ruthless, selfish, power mad people in the Democrat Party who want to use this to their advantage. They are trying to run the Obama administration playbook all over again, but this time, instead of a financial crisis, it's a viral crisis. Right It's an epidemiological challenge that we face. And that's the excuse for

doing whatever they want to do. Remember, you either a god on board with Obama's stimulus or you didn't care about workers. You didn't care about people. Almost a trillion dollars spent didn't save the banks that had already been done. But the Obama administration knew that a crisis was a terrible thing to waste, especially if you're an authoritarian who believes that your decision making, that your right to govern

is sacred. Although it doesn't come from God, it comes from somewhere else, the state itself, because the state is in place of God for Democrats, as you know, oh I know, not all but the ones who run things. Yes, it actually is. Nancy Pelosi is not an action. Nancy Pelosi is not a spiritual person. I can assure you that.

And here we are being told that the capital has to be treated like it is under siege, when really what you're recognizing here is that freedom is under siege in America right now, that the optics that they're creating are meant to infringe upon your rights. The optics they're creating gives the excuse for further crackdowns, for treating political and policy disputes as though there existential crises for the United States of America. This is how the Democrats come

into office. They promise normalcy. Are you feeling any normalcy yet? Does this seem like things are going in the right direction? Do you think that they're actually doing the things that they promised during the election. I mean, so far, Biden as visibly declining Democrat figurehead who just shuffles around mumbling and signing whatever the activists and special interests put in front of him, is working out exactly as predicted by

people like me. This is what you get. They promise technocracy, they promise sound government that'll make things better for all people that come in, and they focus on an open border, transgender athletes, climate change, catastrophism, and controlling and micromanaging every aspect of your life. This is what they do with the power they've been given. Oh and now they're passing a COVID relief bill that they've stalled for months and months.

You know, thousands and thousands of businesses have gone under forever, people's life's work ruined, gone, families impoverished because Nancy Pelosi wanted things to work out in her favor politically. I didn't care about this. She wanted leverage, So they've delayed this.

Here we are in March, and we're still wondering when will there be a coronavirus relief bill because this one is just a Democrat wishless bill that happens to throw in some nineteen relief so that they can make a claim that we all know is ridiculous that the focus of this is about helping the American people from COVID, when the real focus of this is Democrats spending money on whatever the heck they want. But they don't want you to pay attention to that. You're not supposed to

see that. You know, you're supposed to see the barbed wire, the fences, the National Guard soldiers deployed around our nation's capital as a warning to anybody who would stand against them and say, are you with the insurrectionists? Be quiet, take what you're given. We're in charge. Now. That's the normalcy that Biden is bringing to you. You're in the freedom hunt. Thanks for listening to The buck Sexton Show podcast.

Get the latest from Buck at buck sexton dot com. Well, look, I think the actions of the new democratic administration are unifying the Republican Party. We've had some eternal back and forth that's been widely covered, but nothing has unified the Republican Party in both a House and the Senate faster then reacting to this new left wing administration. So we're looking forward. We're not going to look backward. We're looking forward, dealing with the problems America has today, not the problems

ahead yesterday. And as I said, I have sensed in our conference, and I think in the House Republican conference as well, a new sense of unity pulling together to oppose this left wing administration. Nothing unites Republicans like the clownishness, fecklessness, and authoritarianism of the Democrat Party. These people are not better at governing Democrats, Joe Biden, They're not smarter. They're

not bringing us together. It's like the country's being run by the people writing the comments section an MSNBC, and it's working out exactly as we thought. Gas price is going up, employing, unemployment going up, people feeling shakier about the economy and about the future. And what is the activist left want? Doctor Seus's books getting banned. That's their focus. That's what they decide. Oh, I know, you'd say, put buck They made the decision themselves. Yeah, because they realized

that they were gonna get got by the left. They were coming after them, So it's preemptive canceling. What could be better than that. That's the whole point. Censors only have to censor so much before they want you to start doing it yourself. That's what social media is all about. That's the reason that they keep banning people like me from pulling out how stupid these lockdowns are. Because if

I get kicked off of social media. If I get suspended or demonetize, or any number of things which keeps happening to me, a lot of other people realize, well, I don't want to deal with that. I'll just go I'll just tow the party line. I'll just say what I'm told, I'll do what I'm told. So they're making their decisions. This is the chilling effect on speech. We talk about having a society that upholds free speech. No, that speech is being chilled like it's all in an

igloo somewhere on top of a glacier. It's freezing. But this is where we are. This is the country that we're dealing with right now, because unfortunately, the corporate media, coupled with a pandemic, was enough to convince people that somehow Joe Biden was a better steward of the economy or would be and would make better foreign policy decisions than his predecessor. And now we're all starting to see

what that reality is. The good news is that the Democrats created a perception of something of some one with Joe Biden that simply does not exist. Does not exist. Joe Biden is visibly in decline. We can all see it. The guy's too old for the job. I said it all along. I stand behind that, and the fact that he hasn't held the press conference in over forty days. I thought this was going to be a transparent administration. I thought that they were going to have journalists that

would ask hard questions. I mean, that's laughable. We all know that's laughable. But here we are, and what exactly have they done that makes the lives of the American people better? Having a crisis at the border that's supposed to make us feel better, that's supposed to help us. I don't understand how anybody can view what's happened since Joe Biden has come into power and think that somehow

this is good for the country. Even Mitch McConnell himself is saying, look, the crisis at the border is of their creation. Play fourteen is Secretary of Mayorkas, the head of the Homeland Security says there's no crisis at the border. Well, that's absolutely incorrect, And the crisis was created by the administration sending a message to desperate people who want to come here that just hang on, you'll get in sooner or later. And of course the Mexican government done will

become less cooperative. One thing the previous administration did an excellent job of any objective standard was border security, and all of that is being undone very quickly in this new administration. They own this crisis and the border. They created it, and they could stop it if they chose to. You know, there are illegal immigrants who are showing up at the border. I'm serious, this was just reported today wearing Biden let us in T shirts. They know exactly

what's going on. This isn't hard to figure out. And this is like being told that you can just show up with a winning lottery ticket. Now you got the Biden administration in why go through years of immigration law hassle and doing all these things and get your fees it, get your green card, get no no, no no, just show up, show up with a Biden let us in

T shirt. And the Democrats will recognize that this is a political advantage for them to have more and more people coming into the country who will owe their status in the US to the Democrat Party and will also need more assistance on average from the state from the government than other immigrants than other Americans will. So of course we understand who they're going to vote for in the aggregate, not all of them, but seventy five to ninety percent of them. And that's why Democrats are all

in favor of this. That's all this is. Do you think it really matters if Biden is a buffoon, if Biden doesn't govern well, if they can just create new Democrat voters at will by kicking the border wine open, you think that we're really going to win this. Look at the trends right now. You have social media shutting down conservatives. You have the biggest the biggest media companies and platforms in the world, just the biggest companies really now in the world are woke. They are anti conservative.

And this is all happening at a time when the Democrats have full control, unified control really of the government. I know the Senate is technically split, but it's a de facto majority for the Democrats. And instead of trying to bring us together, instead of showing people that the Democrats will do a good job, I mean, I would be happy to show up here one day and saying, wow, guys, this Democrat plans really working out. I mean, look at how much it's helping the American people. Look at how

this is really getting things going. Maybe we should, you know, take a page from their playbook and the next time around we'll try it. I'd be happy to do that some day on something. Not a single thing could I say that about? Not one, not one decision that Biden has made since coming into office that was opposed by Republicans? Right, So yes, getting people vaccinated. Of course it's a good idea. This was already happening. Mean, there are things that are

going on with the government that are good. I'm not crazy, But not a single change with this administration from the previous administration on policy has been intelligent, has been good. There's nothing what are they doing? So instead they want to silence and shut you down? Then if they have to, they'll just make new voters. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Follow Buck on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. I hope everybody's realized by now these masks make a difference.

We are on the crust book being able to fundamentally change the nature of this disease because of the way which you're able to get vaccines in people's arms. We've been able to move that all the way up to the end of May to have enough for every American to get every adult American to get a shot. And the last thing, the last thing we need is neanderthal thinking that in the meantime, everything's trying to take off your masks. Forget it. It still matters. I carry a

card and they don't have it. I put it on my desk a less. As of yesterday, we've lost five hundred eleven thousand, eight hundred and seventy four Americans. They will lose thousands more. This will not occur. We might have everybody vaccinated, so sometime in the summer we have the vaccine to do it. Getting a shot in someone's arm and getting the second shot, you're gonna take time, and is critical, critical, critical, critical that they follow the science.

Wash your hands hot water, do it frequently, where a mask, and stay socially distance. And I know you all about that. I wish the heck some of our elected efficially do it. So fact you very much. Yeah for the science, Yeah, the science, you know, the actual science in terms of the data. I don't like this term the science, as though that is an argument end or they use this.

They use the term and Biden does this all the time, has all along the science to mean, listen to what I'm dictating to you as a policy matter or else. There's a difference between data and decision making. But they try to cloud this, They try to create a confusion between those two things. Right, I can look at data and say, hmm, there's a lot of other factors now that I have to consider before I make a decision

about what to do as a result of it. Right, And this comes into play now when you have people that are already bringing up the possibility of masking up and social I mean social distancing isn't a policy. It just means human beings staying away for other human beings, which doesn't work in practice. In America, people around other people all the time. We have no way of actually separating people from people for over a year, it doesn't work. As the numbers all across America's show. And for people

that are saying, well, what about this country? What about that country? Every country is different in terms of its age profile, obesity, comorbidities, previous exposure of the general population to coronaviruses that may be similar to this one. Every country is different our country. You see the numbers yourself,

do you think that the mitigation measures all worked. They're saying, oh, I will Joe Barnel will say fifty thousand lives, fifty thousand, not forty eight fifty thousand lives if we mask up. How do they come to that number? All they did some modeling. They've got some people who are sitting at computers and throw some numbers in there, you know, the same way that they tell you what the temperature is going to be, the global average temperature will be in

fifty years, which they will be wrong, guaranteed. And then they'll say, oh, but now we figured out why they're wrong, so the next fifty years will be critical. The same thing you're seeing over and over again. I see all this happening right now, and I gotta tell you it's it's stunning to me, honestly, how long it's taken for people to realize what a clown show it has been. With the people in charge here making all these decisions.

These public health experts, public health officials, most people that work in a municipal public health function are slightly more impressive than your average DMV employee. That's the truth, slightly. I actually went to the DMV in New York recent I gotta say, lady was working with me, very polite, went pretty well. But these people have been making decisions that are having enormous impact on lives, and they're doing it,

they say, because they're saving lives. Where is the evidence of that, Biden saying it's neanderthal thinking to change change some of our restrictions in different states. Do you think he'll apologize for that when, as I've said, we're going to come back to this in the middle of April. We're going to see did Texas cases continue to just go in a straight line decline down? Because if mitigation measures in place at government mandate different than what you

want to do yourself. If you want to wear two masks, you want to wear ten masks, you want to stay home for the next six months, go for it. This was always a question not about what somebody should be able to do as an individual to protect themselves. That's up to you, that is an individual right now. This was always about what all of us are made to do because of the excess anxiety and authoritarian tendency that's

out there right now. This is about being forced to do things in the name of the defense of the collective health that have real world consequences for people. Destruction of businesses. I mean, how many of you would be willing to take pretty extreme risks to prevent your business or your job from going away, your bank account from going to zero, perhaps racking up ten, fifteen, twenty thousand dollars of credit card debt during this period that you won't be able to get out of. I mean, the

financial ruination of lives is a real consequences. It's not just a little thing. It's not about people just want to get a hair cut. Remember that. That's what That's the snide, dismissive garbage that the morons at CNN and other places we're pushing out there to the public when we were saying, hold on to these lockdowns really work? Is this really sensible? Why are we doing this? Why have we never done this before? Never in the history You have to remember this, because the gas lighting is

constant and all this stuff. Never before in the history of modern medicine. Okay, never before since we've even known about antibiotics, have we done mass quarantine, which is what this is. This is mass quarantine or quasi quarantine, mass masking. All this stuff never happened before. We've been through terrible flue seasons that killed tens of thousands of people. We've had you know, all this and no, no, no, this never happened before. But it's so obvious, don't you see

That's what they tell you. Now clearly this is not only is it obvious we should do it for COVID, but now they're starting to say, you're just beginning to hear it people popping up on TV. Maybe we should do this every winter. Maybe just sort of, you know, scale everything down, stay at home, mask up. I just I wish to God that there had been a country that had decided that that was in a position to say, we're just not going to do any of this and we're going to track everything. I wish there was a

state where this would have been the too. Now. I know some of you're gonna say Florida or you're gonna say Sweden, but there have been some restriction, some some shutdowns in place in those count in either Sweden in the case of the country, or you know, Florida. You go to Miami, you got to wear masks when you go into restaurants. There's a different feeling about it, and people aren't acting like you're a mass murderer. If you

walk in you're breathing air like a person does. But it hasn't been entirely without these I just wish we had a true control group because I think what you'd see is by the way, I'm not I'm not delusional. I don't think that the absence of mitigation measures would have been some kind of a panacea by any stretch. That's crazy, but I think it would have been basically what you've seen in places that did do extreme lockdowns.

That's that's what the If you look at the data honestly in this country and try to get a real and accurate comparison, what you find is what Rohn de Santis is saying now openly, which is that lockdowns don't work. They'll never admit that. Do you think they'll ever tell you, Yeah, we had this unbelievable power grab. We were telling you you couldn't go to church. We were telling you to

mask up or double mask. Cuomo was actually going on TV, remember this, Governor Cuomo, New York saying if you don't mask, you could kill somebody. That's what he was saying. You're like a murderer if you don't do what they say, this was a mass hysteria, And now we actually look at it, do you find out, hold on, was any

of this worthwhile? Did we need to do this? Should individuals have just been left to make their own decisions and focus protection, which would have meant making sure that nursing homes received, you know, a vast majority of the resources and testing and everything else to try to prevent what has happened. What happened was this virus burned through nursing homes across the country. That's what actually happened. They act like they got ahead of this, the measures the

public health. We know the virus ripped through nursing homes all across the country. Fifty percent roughly fifty percent of deaths in America from COVID nineteen in nursing homes. Does anyone think that that's the result of really excellent prevention. No, this virus just spread all across the country, tens of millions, perhaps now hundreds of millions of infections in total. And they act like we stopped it or we listening to

them was some kind of a game changer. Ah. Really, yeah, this is this is this is the world of fantasy, unfortunately that they live in, and it's why now they're they're fighting so much against a reopen that's a little bit earlier, because the places that reopen a little bit earlier, just like we saw last spring, will be the same as the places that are wear a mask, stay at home, wash your hands, be the same. That doesn't mean there

won't be cases and deaths. There will, But what's the point of doing this stuff and suffering all the consequences of the lockdown if there's actually no real aggregate benefit. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Joined the conversation and message Buck on Facebook, Instagram, or email team Bucket iHeartMedia dot com. He may read it on the show. The two things Brian first obviously is not the type

of thing that a president should be saying. But second, he kind of said on the worst day he could have because the same day he said that in Texas, the Biden administration was releasing illegal immigrant illegal immigrants into our communities who had COVID. The Biden administration was spreading COVID in South Texas yesterday because of their lack of constraint of testing and quarantining people who'd come across the border illegally. The Biden administration was exposing Texans to COVID.

That is Neanderthal type approach to dealing with the COVID situation. But more importantly, Brian is this, and that is with regard to mass the change in Texas really wasn't all that much different from where we were before for a couple of reasons. First, we are still strongly advocating that every Texans followed the best practice. Where we are today is completely different from where we were this time last year when Texans and Americans didn't know how to deal

with this for an entire year. Texans have learned the best practice, and that is to wear a mask. And we still strongly recommend that people do wear a mask. Sense a little bit of a little bit of backpedaling here from Governor Rabbit, which is disconcerting to say the least, But this is what you've seen all along. You're a politician, you finally say that you're going to you're going to cease bending the need of the madness, and the crazy town just comes after you from all over the place.

You're murdering people. This stuff. This is what they say, this is what they do, and I've got to tell you, I'm I'm angry because we're going to go back into this this period now where you have people that are are demanding, they're to keep demanding that you do these things until they feel safe. This is a society we

live in now, you know. It's it's like we're all we're all being turned into the kids that get sent to recess by mom and dad with you know, a helmet and kneepads and making sure that you know you only have a hypoallergenic pillow with you at all times. I mean, this is what they're doing to this country because what are the real what are the real benefits of what they've done so far? I mean, I'm talking

about mandates, government action, individuals, so many people. You know, you know what they should do is go back to the studies where they were finding that people, most of the people, I think it was last summer in July, they found that seventy percent of new infections were people who claimed me masking up as required all the time, they're still getting sick. How how effective could we really think this is when you had you had mass mass compliance.

Remember last April when the virus was at very high levels. You've had very few people really in March and April who were wearing masks as a portion of the general population. And then we went through a period where it was all across the country much more common, much higher compliance, and we still went into a winter with skyrocketing cases

and hospitalizations in deaths. And I mean, they will, I know they will will always argue that, well, it would have been so much worse if you hadn't had these policies in place. But they're just they're never going to admit it. I'm going to I'm not going to relent. I'm not going to stop. But I think what people are seeing now, and I believe the market's beginning to react to this, the stock market, which is a weather

vane of sorts of the economy. I think the stock markets react in the fact that the Biden people all they have to do is get out of the way and stop being idiots. And they really believe they're smarter. They really believe the conventional wisdom from the New York Times editorial page and CNN pundits pretending to be journalists. They think that that's actually a reflection of reality. I meant to get to this before. John Brennan XCI director, who's clearly a loon. He said that he was embarrassed

to be a white male. Recently we talked about that. He's another one of these guys who is just perpetuating this myth. And it is a myth that now, all of a sudden, we have the adults in charge. Play sixteen. When I was President Obama's homand Security advisor, I'd be talking to the Director of Pi'd be talking to the Secretary of homemand Security, Capitol Police, the sergeant at arms in both houses to make sure that all of the

preparations were in place. I don't believe that the White House did any of that in advance of January sixth. Now we have adults in the White House, and I think they're going to take this seriously. We have adults in the White House. This is the story. This is the branding exercise that we're going to contin you to go through. Um, what have they done so far that makes you think that that's true. They've handled the border crisis so well, the cancelation of the Keystone XL pipeline.

Did you ever hear Joe Biden say he was going to do that when he was running. I don't remember that day one right away. Gonna get those those sanctimonious environmentalists with big check books. You gotta get them, you know in Malibu and Santa Monica, Gotta get them, and and the Bay area of San Francisco sending money a Democrats, So do something that makes them feel like they're saving the planet. You know, while they order around the servants

tell them to, you know, trim the hedges faster. That's that's who really runs the Democrat Party. The people that have that kind of mentality, that's who's actually in charge, the Pelosi's, if you will, of America. Um. But they continue to perpetuate the lie that this is this is now the administration run by adults who exactly who do you trust? Who do you think is a really sound thinker that Joe Biden has put into a place of authority. I mean, you have Merrick Garlands as the Attorney General.

When he's asked questions that are tough, he just goes, well, I haven't really thought about that. You know, this is this is the the great legal mind or that's a that's really just a complicated question, right, This is this is going to be quite a fight over the next two years because Trump psychologically damaged the Democrats so much that whatever common ground would have been easy to find with them in the past on certain issues, on some

issues has has largely receded or perhaps evaporated. It's just gone. This is a party that is really the Democrats. They put they put Biden forward so that they can get AOC ideas done. That's really the game here, and I think people are waking up to it. I think people are starting to understand that that's what's happening. You're listening to the Fuck Sexton Show podcast. Make sure you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeart Radio app or wherever

you get your podcasts. It's time for our friend Kurt schlichtored away in on all of this. He is a senior columnist at town Hall. He's also a veteran of the United States military and an attorney. Mister Schleector could have you back he here. Hey, I had a lot of fun at Seatpack. I'm not telling yeah now, Seapack was Seatpack was good times. I think they should do it in Florida every year. Personally, tell me this man, do too, what do you think about Congress shutting down

because of unspecified internet chatter about q Anon. While they have thousands of FISS deployed by the way and fencing up and everything else, the only people talking about QAnon are liberal media people. I mean, seriously, we just spent that. We just spent like four days surrounded by conservatives, often at close quarters drinking. Did you hear anybody refer to you in anything but like a joke? I mean, like even one part. Was there one person They're going, No,

manque's a real thing that exists. It's so freaking stupid. It's this weird fantasy boogee man that they've invented, and it's hysterical. And now that Look, I'm for anything that keeps Congress from doing anything. Look, I mean that's like and if and if mythical uh capital letters are what it takes to keep Congress from performing mischief, fine, that's cool. What isn't cool is turning Capitol Hill into a fortress

and screwing with our soldiers. Did you know several soldiers apparently had to go get medical treatment because the food that they were getting was so substandard, and of course, five miles away as the Pentagon. You'd you'd think somebody there would do something about it. But then again, they're probably planning intersectional operations. How is it possible. I mean, this is something that I saw the heads of this

as well. We got we got members of the United States military deployed at our in our nation's capital, at Capitol Hill, and they're being given like rotted, moldy food. I mean, I thought the Pentagon, they can't get these guys from MRIs, like, what's going on. Look, the military is not no longer a serious organization, and I hate to see that. I mean, thirty years ago right now, I was in Desert Storm. It had just pretty much ended.

I was with seven Core, which was the grass military formation in human history, and I know what competence looks like. This is a joke. I mean, they violate every basic rule of leadership. And the thing that galls me is it's not a secret. The generals are five miles away. They could be in their car over there unscrewing this in about ten minutes, and they're not because they don't care.

Because that's not the priority. The priority is all this intersectional blogny that has taken away from the real focus of the military, WHI should be the ability to deter or defeat enemies. How much of there is that? How much of that is really going on right now with the intersectionality training and all this in the military. I mean, can you give us a sense of how and where

that's actually happening. That's happening at every level. And a lot of US veterans are getting a lot of feedback from people still in there, like Kurt, you don't know how bad this is. This is the entire focus. And the problem is you have you know, career officers fourteen fifteen years, they're they're they're looking to make the last few to retire, and suddenly they're faced with this nonsense. Look, soldiers do with the commander's check and if the commanders

are checking boxes, that's what they're going to do. That's what's going to happen. If intersectionality is the and all that, you know, all this nonsense is the most important thing, That's what the soldiers are going to do. And I think it's gonna cost lives and it doesn't make me happy to say it, but the fallout I'm seeing is most of US bets are now not recommending people join the military. This is something this this is heartbreaking to me. It's been twice seven years in I regret, uh, not

a second of it. I think it was a great experience. But right now, in good conscience, I don't know if I can tell a young person you you should join the military. I won't try and talk them out of it, at least not yet. But I don't think this is a place for somebody who is concerned about their own We reached the point where even even branches like like the Marine Corps, the fabled Marine Corps, are they are they getting toxic masculinity training in the classroom. I mean

there's that stuff happening. Oh absolutely, there's there's no safe space the Special Forces guys are doing. You know, when you have the Special Forces guys being briefed on your extremists, um, that's that's a major problem. And of course, when you say extremists, when you use these kind of nebulous terms, what you're really doing is the political enemies are the people in power. So you know, the idea that there are tons of secret Nazis you know, running around in

our military is IDII. But there are a lot of conservative folks those are the target. Nobody cares about the like one random dude who's got a swastika you know on his uh, you know, tattooed on his heel. That that one lunatic is not the issue. The issue for them is getting rid of mainstream conservative, patriotic Americans and replacing them by people who are in lockstuff. And I

think we will see the equivalent. They won't call it that, the equivalent political officers, and I mean why not, you know, at every level, And that is not an exaggeration. That's what God souls and nets in political officer when he was on the front, fighting for fighting for the Russian people, and they decided, then souls and neats it into the Gulag because of some letters that the political officer got

worried about, and that's all. That's all it takes. Is actually one of the great reminders in The Hunt for the Hunt for Red October. You know, they they kill the political officer. Sean Connery kills the political officer in the movie at the very beginning, and and everybody's you know, like that's we get it, because he's basically he's the

equivalent of the political hall monitor. And I think that we're turning into a society right now where people are are increasingly encouraged to snitch on one another, to ruin careers, to ruin lives, to ruin reputations based upon constantly shifting political goal posts that that the left makes up as they go along too. I mean, that's the part of this that it's it's clear already no one's actually safe

from this. And you know, this is why you have that guy, you know for the Bachelor who just got fired and now he's he's you know what I'm talking I never watched the show, but you know whatever his name is. Yeah, I mean, first of all, the batchelor I've never understood, because understand the concept. You've got a guy with twenty women fighting over him and they're all talking about they're all talking about they're all talking about soulmates.

And I'm sitting here, I'm like, this is actually not if I were a woman. I don't I don't understand that. But let's get back to Chris. Chris Harrison, I think his name. He's meeting with a like a racial I don't know, some kind of racial counselor. That was the story today and this this doesn't. Actually, this stuff never actually really works, right you. You you bend the knee, you beg forgiveness, and you're still destroyed, you're still canceled,

and now you don't even have your dignity. That's the problem exactly. You know, if you're a submissive, you're always going to be a submissive. Gina Corrano is more man than most men in this society because she just said, the hell with you, I'm not going to give in. I just don't care. And I think we need a lot more of that. You know, these people are class journalist buck. You punch them and they fold. Gina Corona doesn't need the Maridalorian or whatever the hell that kids

show is. Uh, she's a talent all on her own, and the rest of us need to do the same thing. I mean, look, but the funny thing is they usually go for the soft targets like doctor SEUs, right, you know, doctor SEUs was a damn communeist, sympathize or I mean it was just a hardcore leftist and now they're they're trashing him and I just think it's hilarious. But the

point is they will go for the soft targets. They go to they go at other New York Times people because they can't fight and the guys can't apologize enough. We need to be the rock when somebody comes up to you say, here, race is sexy imperialist. Yeah, to just kind of lift a middle finger and laugh at him. There's some about it. There's a prescription from the film from Colonel Kurt uh Go check out his ladies Atownhall dot com. Mister Kerchlichtor, always a pleasure to have you on, sir.

Thank you for joining us today. Thanks a lot, you're in the freedom hunt. Thanks for listening to the buck Sexton Show podcast. Get the latest from Buck at buck Sexton dot com. Certainly, there's no doubt in anyone's mind that that form of President Trump is very, very popular among his constituencies, who numbers in the tens of millions

of people. That would have been an extraordinarily good opportunity to get a signal to the people who would clearly have listened to him the way they listened to him in many other ways. He has a great deal of influence. It was just unfortunately a lost opportunity because he could have gotten a lot of people who are hesitant about

getting vaccinated vaccinated. This is why we know Fauci. This is number reason number you know, four thousand and three hundred and ten for how Fauci is a little hack, a little Democrat, and is very clearly doing the bidding of one political party. Okay, a little bit of a little bit of a history lesson in recent history for

doctor Faucci. It was in fact, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris who in the summer and into the fall of twenty twenty were dabbling in anti vax talking points at all under the claim that you can't really trust a vaccine with Donald Trump as president. Remember that, Oh they would play this little game, Oh we'll listen to scientists, but can you really trust a vaccine that Donald Trump as president was overseeing the development of even though he wasn't.

He was just providing the logistics and funding and government backstopping. It was big farmer companies that were doing the research. But I want everyone to remember this, here's Fauci blaming Trump for vaccine hesitancy. And I would also note that vaccine hesitancy is very high in this country among minorities who are generally more likely to be Biden voters than they are Trump voters in the aggregate, and yet Fauci will take a cheap shot here at Trump. He didn't

convince his followers to believe in the vaccine. Kamala and Joe, and I really think Kamala's name should start to go first. We should start to get used to that. It's only a matter of time before Kamala takes over. It's only a matter of time. But Kamala and Joe, we're the ones saying, you can't really trust this. You don't know what Trump was willing to do to game this process, and I think that they should be held to account for that. I know they won't be held to account,

but I'm saying they should be. I'm saying, what what's happened here is wrong that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are effectively able to get away with this. They were the ones that were sowing doubt in the minds of their voters. Anything to beat Trump, that was that was the mantra, that was the idea. We also have we also have here Fauci doing the bidding of the teachers unions play clip four. There are several reasons that it's complicated.

It's just not easy open or shut. There are several issues. First of all, you want to make sure that the first and most important thing is to guarantee the safety and the health of the children, of the teachers and

other people in the educational program. We've got to make sure that the schools have their resources to do the kinds of things they need to do, which would be making sure they have masks and ppe making sure that the ventilation system can be improved to be able to diminish the likelihood that they will be spread of infection. Ventilation systems improved in schools. I mean, is this little tyrant out of his mind? Does he have any understanding of how long that would really take and how expensive

that would be? To think about what he's saying here, it's not really safe for schools until they have improved ventilation systems. What does that even mean? They're gonna put special filters in all the classrooms. I mean, think about this. They bring this up like it's, you know, not that big a deal. You know, it's something that's doable. It's amazing to hear somebody who's who's supposed to be a public health official, uh say something that's just so obtuse.

You've got in this country a few million public school teachers. I mean, you've got just thousands and thousands and thousands of schools all across the country. You're gonna you're gonna change the ventilation systems. It's a it's amazing, it really is stunning. Um. But he's got to create excuses. That's what he knows what he has to do. He understood dance who his masters are. Fauci gets it. The teachers

unions want to strike a bargain here. They want they want they want more money, and they want contract adjustments which would allow them to have at least some degree of teach from home. We all get it. Teachers want want that flexibility, and they want it going forward for as long as they want to do it. Think about that, Think about what you know. You're basically in a position where you don't have to actually deal with kids, be

around them, interact with them. You get to sit at home, speak into a computer and get your full pay and benefits, no more commuting. You can do it from probably anywhere. I guess if you're a teacher, you probably have to technically live in the school district. I don't know. How that works in different places. But of course they want this and this is their opportunity. This is about benefits for adults. It's not about safety for kids. Foucci dances

to the require hired tune every single time. Where's Founci on outdoor masking? Somebody should and somebody should really press this little tyrant on where is the science that shows where's the data? Forget this term science they throw out. Where's the data that shows that there is a serious risk of transmission of this disease from people being outside? Walk around the streets of New York City right now?

Ninety five percent of the people you see alone on the street, outside or massed up, ninety five just walk around. I do it every day. I see it. But oh no, we're still still supposed to listen to the fouch. Not surprising at all. I'm sure for you to hear that he doesn't want us to pull back on the code measures play six. You know, my strong advice to them, Joe, would be to actually continue to implement the public health meshes. Now is not the time to pull back. The good

news is that we have vaccines coming online. You saw the curve of the infections per day coming down. But over the last seven days or so, we've reached a bit of a plateau with a deflection of the curve. Isn't going straight down the way it was. That's a

bad sign. We've seen that before. We've seen that last summer when we were trying to so call open up the economy and open up the country, when we said there were certain guidelines that you should adhere to, and as you know, there was variable adherence to those guidelines, and then we had that really big surge that we don't want to repeat now. I mean, we were going

in the right direction. Now's the time to keep the foot on the accelerator and not pull off because the thing that we don't want is yet again another surge. So I would advise the people of Texas and Mississippi to just abide by the public health measures that we talk about all the time, the uniform wearing of mask physical distancing, avoiding congregate settings, particularly the indoors, washing your hands frequently. We just have to keep doing that because

we know it works. How do we know it works exactly? He didn't know it worked a year ago when he told you that masking it was silly. One year ago, almost to the day. I think it was March eighth, one year ago. Masking for the public is silly now it's we know it works. Oh, it works so well in this country, hasn't it. We've seen nothing but an increase in mask usage over the last twelve months all across the country's just been going up and up and

up and up. And notice it's so convenient. Whenever there's a surge, it's because we didn't do what Fauci told us. That's why there was a surge. It's not the seasonality of the virus. It's not the natural progression of this thing through different communities. No, it's you weren't listening enough.

If you think this guy wants to go back to being an obscure bureaucrat who pops up once or twice on a morning show to tell people to wash their and during flu season, you're not paying attention that much. I can tell you this is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Follow fuck on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, and I think we have The CDC have been very clear that now

is not the time to release all restrictions. I do think that, as I said in my remarks the next month or two is really pivotal in terms of how this pandemic goes. As we scale a vaccination, we really do need to decrease the amount of virus that is circulating as we're trying to vaccimate all of the public. I will also note that you know, every individual is empowered to do the right thing here regardless of but the states decide for personal health, for public health, for

their health and their loved ones and communities. I would still encourage individuals to wear a mask, to socially distance and to do the right thing to protect their own health. No one has a problem, I want to be very clear. No one has a problem with individuals taking actions, making making decisions to protect their own health. That's life. That's

what you should be doing every day, right. It would be fun if I would just have four or five glasses of mescal, you know, whenever I've had a long day. But I realize that there's going to be a cost, so I don't do that. We're all making our own

decisions every day about how to stay healthy. You know, it would be even more fun if I could just find a lot of cookie dough to eat every night, as as a little sweet treat but you know, I realized that long term the health benefits of that are not good, or that rather the health implications are not good. So we're all making decisions for our health all the time.

That's a very very basic principle. And I have no issue at all, and nor should anyone with a person who wants to have, you know, tremendous caution in what they're willing to do. Who's a person who's who's going to uh, you know, look at if you want to mask up in your own car, that's fine, just understand that that's not something you should expect other people to do, and that there's really no basis for it. But if it makes you feel better, if it's like a security blanket, fine.

But you notice that the status authoritarian democrats, they want the force of the state telling you what you can and can't do here. They don't want that to go away. And if you want a perfect example of it, exactly the kind of idiocy that is prevalent out there in the media. Do you all remember peteau pTau O'Rourke was like he was totally going to be the next president. He was born for it. And he's like, what has

he ever done. He's just you know, a doctrinaire liberal who watches a lot of MSNBC and kind of like talks in this breathe like nineties TV host fashion and yeah, but you could listen to bet right. He was back baby Beto Austin or is Robert O'Rourke, but let's call him Beta because he's like so multicultural here he is. On what the GOP is a cult of death? Thirteen, I think it appeared to many of us to be a cult of personality the Republican Party in the era

of Trump, and that probably still holds true. It's hard to escape the conclusion that it's also a cult of death. You have extraordinarily anti democratic elements. I mean, look at the insurrection on January sixth, or for any proof. You have anti governments elements literally running the government of the state of Texas, and it almost I used the phrase failed state because I think when you can't guarantee the electricity, the heat, the running water, the public welfare and safety,

you are about there by any classic definition. You have folks who are are literally upending civilization as we know it and completely indifferent to the sub costs forty four thousand deaths alone just in the state of Texas. In El Passo, my home county where I am right now, there are two hundred and eighty bodies stacked up in a warehouse because there are not enough grave diggers and not enough graves to be dug to put them in the ground. They had to call in the National Guard

to move the bodies. They had to set up ten mobile mores. And that's just in my city right now. There's eighty five percent Mexican American. They just don't care, and that indifference is killing people in my community and throughout the state of Texas. What a what a vicious, vile slander from this little moron. We don't care about the dead bodies. Really, that's where we're gonna go with Now. We've been doing it their way, meaning the Beto Fauci lockdown or way, for a year and we've got all

these dead bodies. We've got five hundred thousand people have died of COVID five hundred thousand plus. But now that the virus is plummeting, and now that people are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel, don't do exactly what they say. When they say it, you're killing people and you don't care about it. You're a cult of death. You know who the cult of death is the psychopaths who think that ripping a baby out of a mother's womb and chopping it up into

little pieces is a right to choose. That's a cult of death and it's al central tenant of the Democrat Party today. In fact, one of the single clearest ways you separate out Democrat from Republican is do you think that a baby is not really a baby when it is in the womb. It's very straightforward, that's all. That's all you have to know, that's all there has to be. And you know, if somebody's a Democrat or a Republican

ninety nine times out of a hundred, really higher than that. Actually, yes, the GOP is a cult of death because we want to just start living our lives. They can't stop. They could not stop this virus. They could not even control the virus, even though we did the things that they said would achieve that. And now it's our fault. And now that we're tired of this, now that we see the data, it doesn't work. Beto's whole line here of just like, don't don't like give up because look, we're

gonna save so many laws. We've seen what happens. It's not not true. It's not true. The only real way to do a lockdown is to have everybody stay at home and have full compliance for weeks, if not months on end, not having essential workers go and do their things by the millions, not having people going to grocery stores in big box stores and all they know. And that's that's the way lockdown has been done in America.

It's never really been a lockdown, that's the point. So all you do is change the area has changed the nodes of transmission, but the transmission kept going. So then you say, well, why are you you know, why are you shutting down restaurants if one percent of transmissions occurring there, but you're not shutting down wherever the other ninety nine percent of transmission is happening happening. Right. They never really think through these things. They just they like the power.

They're like the sanctimoniousness, the self righteousness. Oh I'm so great, I'm a double Oh here you go. Of course, you know who's a double masker? Now, Peto is a double masker play twelve. But just because he's surrendered and given up to the virus doesn't mean that we have to Wearing a mask is still something that we can do. Double masking, as a CDC recommends, is even better. Keeping six foot distance and then joining efforts like ours. We're

in seventeen different Texas cities this weekend. Our volunteers will be canvassing in the lowest income SIP codes to register people for the vaccine, to make sure that they get inoculated, and we helped to save more lives in the face of this absolute lack of leadership from our governor. You know what they should have done, vaccinated people over sixty five all across the country right away. That should have been the focus. You know what they did, all kinds

of micromanagement and stupidity. Oh we got twenty five year old teachers get vaccinated. It in New York City. I know some of them. Oh yeah, because that's really important. Just total clowns. The science was very clear on who should get vaccinated. It's people who are at high risk.

But they abused this, you know that they wanted to they use this as some kind of a a goody to give out to their preferred constituencies, teachers, essential workers, whatever that means, you know, yeah, the elderly and healthcare workers who have to deal with COVID on the front line. That was very clear, but they pretended like it wasn't and so there were additional delays. So there were additional slowdowns,

and people died because of those slowdowns. I think everybody should be aware of that, should see what's actually happening here. Double mask? Well, did we just figure that out? Are we all so dumb that we're not allowed to question that? They just figured out double masking, because that's what needs to happen, noticed that Fauci, Because people realize they lost faith in the mask god. So then Faucci had to

come up with something else. It's, oh, you know what, we need double mask And then it was has everyone forgotten that? Doctor ostro Holme, when I played it for you here, went on TV and said, double masking's actually worse guys in practice theoretically, See, this is the thing these people don't understand. Difference in theoretical policy and usage and what actually happens theoretically. You know, mandating masks on an airplane may reduce the spread of an aerosolized virus

in some capacity. In reality, if you're sitting next to somebody and they're pulling their mask down for fifteen or twenty minutes at a time to eat and drink and do whatever else they're doing, does it really make a difference. Remember the early days when people touching the mask and the mask not being clean, and that was all. They

just they pretend like they didn't say these things. I'm sorry they can try to gaslight me, but I know when I've been lied to, and Fauci and the morons around him have lied to us countless time, countless times. They keep changing it, acting like they got it right, acting like they knew what they were doing. They're appalling, appalling, And now you'll notice there's a little bit of a glimpse of freedom, and they got to shut it right

down right away. You know, there's all of a sudden, there's the hope that we're gonna get through this, and it's no, how dare you? You're not allowed. You're not allowed to start thinking about having your life back, not until we say so, not until we say so. Can't pull back on the COVID measures. Yeah, I think we are doing that in some places. It's gonna be fine, as fine as it would be if we kept pretending like we're all doing this great job of stopping the virus.

Clearly we're not, because the things they told us that would work don't work the way they said they would. This is all about the percentages, it's all about risk. It's all about what's true in general or most true in general. There's no perfect answer here. We've a banned and all that. Our ability to think critically as a country has been called into question by this. We failed to think critically as a country. I think that much can be said with real clarity. You're in the freedom hunt.

Thanks for listening to The Buck Sexton Show podcast. Get the latest from Buck at buck sexton dot com. China makes COVID nineteen anal SWABS mandatory for foreigners. When I first saw this on social media, I thought to myself, is this has got to be a joke, right, They're kidding. They're not kidding. Reporting here from New York Post, China has made anal COVID nineteen SWABS mandatory for all foreign

travelers arriving in the country. The government has claimed that such tests provide a higher degree of accuracy than other screening methods. As part of the new travel requirement, they'll be testing hubs in Beijia and Shanghai. The outlet reported um the anal swabs are quote better because virus traces stay in the you know what longer than they do

in the nose or the throat. The move comes after Japan asked China to stop performing the exams on its citizens where they enter the country because the swabs cause mental mental anguish. Yeah, they do. Some Japanese reported to our ever see in China that they received anal swab tests which caused a great psychological paid producer Mark, I don't think the paid is necessarily just psychological though. Yeah, that that sounds physically painful. That doesn't sound like fun.

I don't know. This is not good. I don't plan. But still, but this is this is kind of this is kind of the future that we can all, you know, expect, we can all assume this kind of thing. Will we'll be coming our way because there's no indignity. If you're really a lockdown or there's no indignity, you shouldn't be willing to endure in order to save lives from the virus. Right, So yeah, I mean, why not if the science is clear on this, why not have anal swabs for everybody? Right?

As far as I'm sure somebody should ask Fauci about this, I'm sure he would he would be happy to swab up everybody. But this is also a reminder that China's China's coming out of this thing, and they're they're they're gonna be looking to just make all kinds of gains on the Biden administration, which might be a shock of some people. I mean, I've been asking this question, will Biden lead America from behind China? And this is not I'm not making any anal swab jokes here. I'm just saying,

we'll Biden lead America from behind China. Remember leading from behind the Obama administration. That was the idea. And if you've been an avid CNN watcher for the past four years, you might wake up in cold sweats at the thought of Vladimir Putin overthrowing the US government any in it And we all knew it was absurd, and the corporate media's magnification of the Kremlin as America's greatest geopolitical foe

was pure cynical politics. It was entirely justified in journalist minds, though, to undermine Trump's twenty sixteen win and use it as a cudgel against him during his four years in office. Unfortunately, in that regard it worked shockingly well. A special Counsel investigation and a White House under siege with endless allegations about being Putin's puppet, the Russia collusion lie was a

national media obsession. But as the Great Orange Menace of Trump is now passed, at least for the time being, our media is waking up to some unpleasant realities of geopolitics. In the real world of superpower conflict, Russia is just a side show. We all know that, for the talk of Putin's machinations, he runs a country with a GDP under two trillion dollars and about one hundred and forty million inhabitants that struggles to pay its bills when the

prize of oil drops. China, China, That's what we really have to worry about, and this has been true for decades. China is by far our biggest competitor economically and militarily right GDP almost fifteen trillion, over a billion people, China is the only real challenge to US hegemony, and it's going to keep Joe Biden's hands very full of the

foreign policy front. What we've seen so far, the Chinese Communist Party is preparing to put out, or put on rather a clinic of real politic for this Biden White House. Because whatever you think of Trump's foreign policy and the no New Wars thing was pretty awesome, he was fundamentally correct about China. The Chinese Communist Party was getting away with all kinds of illicit and unfair trade practices at the expense of American workers and businesses. Despite the conventional

wisdom about the need for free trade with China. Trump was right when he said that wasn't what was actually occurring. It was really a one way trade war. And Trump decided to fight fire with fire. Okay. China also has the advantage of clear purpose. So while America in the first months of this Biden administration is determined to tear down its own history and go on a cancelation spree of doctor Seus's books, China's expanding its influence in many

of our most powerful institutions. Now it's all up at Joe Biden, as foreign policy team to sit across the global chessboard, so to speak, from China and outplay our greatest rivals since the Soviet Union. It's not going to work out very well for US. I have to tell you, I don't think so. Communist leadership in Beijing sees Biden's ascension as an opening. Trump was responsible for awaking America

from somnambulism about the real costs of China's predations. Biden has been famously wrong about every major foreign policy decision of the last four decades, and he may well lull us back to sleep. Hijinping has many cards to play with Biden's administration, and the poll to be anything but Trump on policy will be strong enough on its own. China, my friends, is ascendant, and Biden is going to be a useful idiot to that end. You're listening to the

We have COVID, we have recovery, we have rebuilding, We have a teetering New York City, we have a terrible financial picture. We have to do vaccines. So no, I'm going to do the job the people of the state elected me to do. Yes, that's right. Governor Cuomo is not going to resign. He will, politically speaking, live to fight another day. And this guy is adept at exactly

what we've seen here. He understands how to manipulate public sentiment, he knows how the system works, he knows what he has to do to keep his position of power, and that's exactly what he's doing now. I keep coming back to this. I'm sorry but for me that the media digs in so much on allegations of sexual harassment that didn't really involve any actual touching, according to Governor Cuomo at least, and from all but one of the allegations here.

I mean, he attempted to kiss I don't know if them, and he actually put he actually put hands on one of his aids. But he's suggesting he never actually even touched anyone, and he never offered a quid pro quo. So what he did, while gross and wrong, isn't say in the same league as sending thousands of people back into nursing homes during a raging pandemic, resulting in what could have been hundreds of lives lost. If not more.

That wasn't enough though, to turn people against Cuomo. And one of the reasons for that is that the media understands they were all complicit in that part of the story.

They didn't want the truth to come out about what Cuomo did in the nursing homes, and that's why today he had to give his maya culpa, not about the nursing home situation, but about harassing female subordinates, which I will say, particularly among people in the press corps, that is a sin that they will not necessarily force him to pay the ultimate career price for, but they're at least going to make some noise about it now. Because Cuomo made it through the period of usefulness he was

necessary for defeating Donald Trump. There's Leticia James, the New York State Attorney General, waiting on stage right or stage left or whatever to take over. I think if Cuomo were to fall from grace politically even more. But of course he's not going to resign. I've never thought he was going to resign, And this is just another way of understanding that his political instincts, as much as he's a thug in a bully, his political instincts are keen.

And that's how a guy, yes, who has the advantage of a last name and a family dynasty behind him, but he's been able to go through as many years, as many administrations as he has as many terms three now, being an enormous bully and a jerk on top of it all, but still holding the highest executive office in the fourth biggest state in the country. That's a pretty

remarkable feat when you think about it. But then again, you look across to our cousins on the West Coast in California and they have none other than Gavin Newsom. Gruesome Newsom, with his unbelievably slimy antics around lockdowns and the way he's been changing the narrative constantly, this guy is bad news. And that's why finally the people of California have decided they may be willing to recall him, but remember that they're not going to repudiate the policies.

One of the problems or a recall mechanism like what they have in California is that everyone then focuses on the individual and not on the actions. Newsom is a pretty doctrinaire Democrat. He's not outside the mainstream for the Democrat Party. He's just a guy who's doing what Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer would want him to do. He's not some radical. But in California they've finally started to see that Democrat policies are awful. And so what do

they do? They say, Well, it's not that the policies are bad, really, it's that the guy, in this case, Gavin Newsom, implementing them is a problem. And here in New York, Governor Cuomo instead of saying, you know what, there could be somebody else, somebody better to come along to implement this, it's I'm necessary. Now. It's all about me. I have to do this job. Don't you see? Without me, the people of New York will be lost. This guy really does have some kind of savior complex tied in

with his tyrannical impulses. He was never going to resign. You'd have to drag Cuomo out of that office kicking and screaming, and he'd be yelling, you know, I control to stay troopers the whole time. That's what he'd be saying, how dare you remove me from office? Stunning that this is the best we can do in New York state politics, it's kind of disheartening, really, but at least there's some degree of truth coming out now. I think there's a lot more, and I think we'll actually be hearing more

of the weeks ahead. That's also a possibility. But I'm still shocked at the nursing home scandal. Isn't that isn't what may be doomed Cuomo's political career, And it's not doomed. He's gonna stay in office, and he may well run again and he might win, and what does that say about our politics? But then again, you look at Joe Biden. Here's a guy who was a loser time and time again,

and Democrats even recknize that he was a loser. And then, because they had an opportunity to present the Democrat Party as something other than what it really is, and that would work in a COVID pandemic election year against Donald Trump, they just dusted off good old blue collar Joe and made it happen. With Governor Cuomo. There's a similar transaction feeling all of this. He's paid off all the special interest groups he needs to. He makes sure that the teachers'

unions are on his side. He makes sure that the apparatus of the Democratic Party is with them, and that's all that it really takes. Doesn't have to be competent, doesn't have to be good at the job. He's just got to be a one man patronage system for the incredibly corrupt machine politics of Albany, which, as we know, was supposed to get a little special investigation the Moreland Commission, and Cuomo set it up because so many people realize what was going on in New York, and then he

just shut it down. Why did he shut it down? Well, I remember speaking to somebody who was close to Cuomo during that period and was a very a very skilled lawyer, brilliant attorney, who told me that, yeah, it's because Cuomo realized that once an investigation like that gets enough teeth and gets going, it could actually find out stuff you don't want it to, and then you've got a problem. He liked the optics of it, he didn't like the

reality of it, so we just shut it down. But as long as he makes sure that New York is supportive of abortion on of all nine months on of a pregnancy, and that the woke left is mollified in whatever possible ways, and the Democrat machinery keeps on running as is, with the patronage system and the payoffs and the welfare and all the rest of it. As long as that keeps going, he figures he can stay in power and act like the jerk that he is. But keep in mind, he wants you to feel a tremendous

amount of sympathy for him. That certainly came across today during the press conference. I feel awful about it, and frankly, I am embarrassed by it, And that's not easy to say, but that's the truth. Is it the truth? Do you believe it? Do you think that he's somebody who's saddened and upset because he realizes that he was transgressing, that he was crossing a line, or do you think that this is just a talented performance from a guy who did,

in fact, just get an emmy last summer. As you remember, for his press conferences day in and day out about the COVID pandemic. The media elevated him when it was useful for them, and now they turn on him when he no longer matters quite the same way. But they don't turn on him all the way. Notice how they're not going to continue to push on this story. Now that he's apologized, now that he's come forward in this way, they'll say that that's enough. He's paid his debt, so

to speak. He's done his pen and now he can go back to being the died in the world Democrat that we know. He is delivering for the left, for progressives and continuing to run New York State into the ground, which is what has been happening, not just over the last year, well before that, but certainly over the last year. That's why people are fleeing in larger and larger numbers. It's because Governor Cuomo is bad at his job, but he wants you to feel sorry for him. You know,

I do give people second chances. I'm somebody who really believes in forgiveness and mercy and all that. But Auomo such a bully. It's really hard to think that this guy means a single word of it. I'm not buying it. I'm just telling you, I'm not buying the Oh, I'm so sorry. I never meant to. I don't believe it. This is The Buck Sexton Show podcast. Follow fuck on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Let's get a view from inside the Beltway right now, as the swamp grows gets murkier and muddier,

wedder and just bad all around. Our friend Harlan Hale, he is a principal at the Logan Circle Group as a political consultant, buddy of mine down in DC. Harlan, how are you doing, man? Great, it's good to be with you. But I am now a DC refugee in Florida for the time being. Oh that's right, You've become another another one of those, another one of those guys who's decided they're fleeing the Blue state tyranny for the

Sunshine State. Oh that's join us at some point. Yeah. Well, I gotta tell you, man, these days, the siren call of Florida is getting louder all the time for people, especially up in the in the Tri state area. So I want to ask, what are you what are you seeing right now with this uh, with this COVID relief bill that's out there with the Democrats are trying to accomplish, because to me, this is it's just all reminiscent of the Obama administration, where it's we're gonna do what we

want to do as Democrats. We don't care what it does to the economy. Really, as long as our special interests get paid off, as long as our identity politics groups feel like they're getting something out of this, that's it. Yeah, Yeah,

I mean I think that's exactly right. I mean, the Biden administration came into power with all these lofty promises of unity and bringing the party together and working with Republicans, and now what we're seeing is that they're going to castle of that unity aside and try to ram something through without respect to the Republican colleagues and the tens of millions of Republican voters that came out in twenty twenty. And I think that's to their peril and to our benefit.

How are you feeling this is going to play into the mid terms. I mean, you're a guy for everybody listening who works on campaigns, I mean, actually gets gets paid to help Republicans win elected office. Right, You're actually doing doing that job day in and day out. Are you feeling like Republican opposition to this COVID relief bill could trans late into a red way. I know it's a ways out, but this stuff moves fast. Well, I'm

seeing two things play out. One yes to answer your question, I do think that this plays right into our hands, and then there's growing sentiment against you know, these continued shutdowns, to the draconian measures coming out of the Blue states

and of Washington itself. But I have to add another rankle to that, which I think is incredibly important coming out of Seapack, which is that I'm seeing a lot of very mature and developed primary challenges of incumbent Republicans, whether it's at the federal level or at the state level, to remove Republicans that primary voters considered to be inadequately conservative. You know, one of those people is someone like Mike DeWine,

the current governor of Ohio. This is a guy that instituted curfews and you know, basically a liberal state policy of used to be shutdowns and response to covid um

he adopted, and you know, he's a Republican. So I think what we're gonna see happen in the midterms is not just a wave in the general um, a backlash against a lot of this um, but also a backlash against Republicans that have counted out to the to the liberal orthodoxy and the media's line on on how to handle these shutdowns and COVID So, uh, you know, this is something that we're gonna start seeing play out in

the next really year. So you're seeing this. People talk about Republican unity, but you're you're feeling like it's gonna be unity that is in part achieved through uh, getting rid of some of the dead weight with with primaries that go after people who are milktoast romney eyed Conservatives or Republicans. Is that right? Oh, no question. I mean

that's playing out now. I mean, you know, and part of that is, uh, President Trump laid out in his Seapack speech a long list of Republican congressmen and women that he was going to support primary challenges against on the grounds and impeachment. But the list is going to grow far beyond those who were disloyal to Trump on impeachment and will will include, you know, candidates that are insufficiently conservative. Uh. You know, we're looking at Liz Cheney.

I mean, she's got a real problem. I actually firmly believe that, Um, that the center that came down from the state Party in Wyoming was decisive. Somebody like Anthony Gonzalez in Ohio sixteen. That guy's gonna get rocked. President Trump's already already endorsed his challenger, Max Miller. Um, that's a that's a sure thing. I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if if President Trump performs a perfect sweep on all those primary challenges. Um, they're all extremely vulnerable. Uh.

Catalinaluf is another one. I think she's got a good chance amount of really in credible race. She's hiring a lot of really good consultants this go around. And so yeah, I'm feeling I'm feeling good. I mean, the problem with the Magan movement in primary uh, disloyal conservatives when Trump was in office was that it was always sort of half baked. You know, they were hiring in some cases not the best staff, or the staff wasn't as mature. They didn't they didn't know, you know, how to run

these campaigns. Now we have a much much much more mature movement. Um and uh and and and then we also have the benefit of the fact that the president is out of office able to go and raise a lot of money and mobilize millions of voters using the data and the infrastructure that he built in the in the campaign in twenty twenty, which is unprecedented on the Republican side. We're speaking to principle of Logan Circle group, but he's down in Florida, not in Logan Circle anymore.

Our friend, our friend, Harlan Hill, he's a political consultant. And Harland you know you were you were at Seapack. I was at seapack. The president, uh, you know, brought the house down, so to speak, on Sunday. And I just I have this concern and I know some people they don't want to hear negativity about about Trump running again. And I'm not negative about him running again. I want to make sure that if he runs again for president, he's got the right people around him, the right infrastructure,

pushing the right ideas. I worry that what we're gonna get pushed into is he's the only option. And the people that were around him that failed in this last election it was a failure, they did not win, will be the same people. What are you confident that. I know we're at the early stages here, but it will matter for the midterms. Then it matters, quite honestly, just for the Republican Party now day to day is Trump you know? Is he is? He? Finally going to have

the best people. You know, he promised to have the best people and that wasn't true. Is he gonna have some of the best people now? Well, you know, I'm not sure whether President Trump is going to run for reelection again or not, but I do know that he is the de facto leader of the party at this point. I mean, there's a tremendous power vacuum on our side. I mean, just in that month where he was relatively quiet up until the Sea Pack speech, you know, there

was there was very little direction within the party. No one stepped up to fill that, to to fill that vacuum. UM. And it seems now that he's going to do that, and I think that's probably the role that he plays. UM. He needs to continue to raise money to support these uh primary challenges around the country, to put in loyalists, to build out the infrastructure that can support whoever the individual candidate is, whether that's President Trump or or or

someone else. But he has a great opportunity to be the kingmaker and the party, UM, and to bring the party together. There's got to be some call. We got to call to hurt a little bit. You know, there are a lot of people that that that predate Trump, that pre date this, this alignment within the party, um that don't really get it. They're not they're not responsive to uh, their voters, and h you know that there's got there's gotta be some change in Washington, and I

think he's going through that. I am confident that, you know, he's not necessarily I don't see him building out a presidential campaign right now. I think that if he were to do that, he would announce it relatively soon. People forget that the President announced his reelection campaign on an inauguration day in twenty seventeen. He wasted no time. And I think that if he were confident in his interest in running for president again, that um, you know, he

would already start. Based on history, I think he would already start that process now. Carlin Hill, everybody pulled up a consultant guy who actually knows how the sausage gets made in politics. Harlan, Thanks so much, buddy. I always appreciate talking to you. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Joined the conversation and message buck on Facebook, Instagram, or email Team Bucket, iHeartMedia dot com. He may read it on the show. Liberty True heir, now roll call? All right,

I really, I really am gonna go. I'm gonna find this. I'm gonna find always say this every time, but I gotta stop. Just I'm gonna find this new role call theme music because like the old I mean, whatever happened to like dubstep roll call? You know? I like the old role calls better. Mark, I'm just gonna tell you about. I know you're not in charge of them, but the old role call music was just cooler. We had some great stuff. So did we do we have the old

one to? Why? Why can't we just use the old ones? Because we have a new voice. Okay, Well, I'm gonna send the new voice the old music, and he's gonna get us to because because this this stuff, I mean, it sounds like I know, I don't know's it's sounds like we're in a video game from the nineteen eighties or something with this music. What's wrong with that? I don't know. That's not really my First of all, you weren't even born yet, all right, So let's come on,

wouldn't that the birth of video games? That's that's a fair point. That's a fair point. All right, Let's get in into our role call here. We've got to all the latest small you folks across the across the country. Remember, go into a Bucksex and dot com. But check on our stories there and also Facebook dot com slash buck Sex and you can send us a message there if you want to get in on that roll call action or team buck at iHeartMedia dot com if you would

like to send us an email. Note. That's how we that's how we get down here, That's how we do things. And with that, and with that, we have Producer Mark kicking us off here with oh so oh so much stuff. Producer Mark, You've got all You've got, all the things happening for us, and we appreciate it. I want to be very clear, especially when I'm stalling because I lost

the note there it is okay, here we go. Rachel, Hello, I was hoping you could pass along some legitimate, unbiased sources of information on data and data on any or all the vaccines. You've become the only person I agree with one percent of the time, and I'm honestly torn. I just want the facts because I have no desire to get it right now. The vaccine. I could go on forever about how You've helped me the past few months,

but I'll just keep it simple. Thanks for speaking truth and keeping me company while I get ready for work and on my commute. Even my boys three years and ten months now ride in silence and seem to be soothed by your voice. But maybe they're learning something. I share your name every chance I get. I only wish you had time to listen to every minute of every show. Thanks for being awesome. I know you're a busy man, but i'd appreciate some valid vaccine info shields high Rachel,

thank you so much. That's very kind and I really appreciate it. If you've got some. You've got a couple of young boys there. If they liked it the vocal sounds of Team Buck, that's great. It makes me very happy. And let's get into the vaccines now. I will tell you I have not been some I've not been deep diving into the vaccine data masks, lockdowns. Yes, I read about it all the time. I'm constantly compiling information on it, but I have not been going deep on the vaccine stuff.

I can tell you this that both of my parents have gotten the vaccine and one of the vaccines and they had basically no side effects and we're fine. And they're both at the age where you know it's you're in higher risk category. So I would not let my own parents. I would have you know, I would lay down in front of a train before I let my parents do anything that I thought was risky or dangerous

to their health. So that that's the best I can tell you about how I feel about it, is that my parents both got vaccinated, and I am likely to get vaccinated too when the time comes, because then I really want to just hold the line against the insanity of continued lockdown and mitigation and all this other crap. So that's how I feel about it. As for the

safety data and all the rest of it. You know, Alex Berenson, I really appreciate the work that he's done during the pandemic to say things and share things that have He's an immense pressure rate against him, but he has been willing to stand up and say, hold on a second, what people are being told or this aspect of it's just not true. So he's also been doing a lot of work on COVID vaccines. You can follow him on Twitter, for example, and see what he's posting

about vaccines. From what I've seen, it's it's very clear the vaccines for the average person, this is the CDC published state of the average person in the vaccines are both highly effective and highly safe. The questions that seem to be out there have to do that the biggest question that I've seen, and I don't have an answer to it, and I don't really have a strong opinion

on it because I just don't know. See, I tell you when I don't know something, unlike a lot of other people who like to pretend they know everything, I tell you when I don't know something. But it's whether the vaccine can be an additional risk factor for pregnant women to miscarry, I think is where there has been some question out there, and I don't know. Alex Barrenson has done more research into that than I have, so

you can see what he says on it. But it's very hard right now to get honest stuff about the about the vaccines. It's very difficult because if you if you question any aspect of it, they will quickly put you in the anti vax category, even if you're not an anti vaxer. So and these especially the fires are and moderno vaccines. These are these MMA m R n

A vaccines. This is a very new technology, and from what I understand, there are not a whole lot of folks who really understand it all that well, even in the medical community. So I think asking questions is completely completely legitimate, and we should always ask questions about things like this. I'm sorry, Rachel, I don't have more in depth information for you on it, but I will continue to look at it. But I've as I've said, my

parents got vaccinated it. They have had no ill effects from from it so far, and from what I've read and from all the experts that I've talked to, including some who are very skeptical of masks as a highly effective mitigation measure, I know some mds who feel that way, but they won't say so publicly because they don't want, you know, Holly hell to fall down upon them. But they say, no, no, no, the vaccines are safe. I would, I'm getting it, and I would get my family to

get it too. So I'm just telling you that's what That's what I've been told about it, Riannon, I really enjoy listening to you trying to talk sports. Tell producer Mark he needs to teach you football. Well, thanks, Rhiannon. I like when they take the stick and they hit the puck into the goal post, making sure that they have the proper I can't I can't even think of all the sports terminology I have to throw in here. I don't think no, I know, but yeah, look, I

used to watch sports. I gotta tell you. I'm just I don't know. I got so little time for anything other than my work these days, it's very hard for me to focus in on any kind of sports stuff. But Producer Mark loves the sports, so you've always got a voice in the sports world year on this show talking about the things they're going on. Although I did see because it was big news for a while, the Tiger Woods flipped his car. I know it's not really a sports story, but he's one of the great sports

figures of our lifetime. Tiger Woods flipped his car number of times. He's in bad shape, right, Producer Mark, he got messed up. Yeah. The latest report I see is that he will walk again, but they're really not sure if he'll ever be able to play golf again. And I actually just watched they did a documentary on him on HBO a couple weeks ago, maybe a month ago, me and my wife watch it, and then this happened. So it was really interesting. He's had a lot of

I'm not a golf guy. I really don't like the sport, but watching that document Menory showed me how dominant, how great he was, and to see him take obviously the scandals and everything, and now this when he was finally coming back, he was finally getting back to form. It's just it's a terrible story to see him. You know, the best ever, one of the best athletes of all time. Is he's pretty much the undisputed best golfer of all time?

Or is that Jack Nicholas? M I think. I mean, I'm not an expert on this, but I believe numbers wise, he's a couple of masters behind Nicholas, But everyone said he's a golf experts would say Tiger's the best of all time. Yeah, it's remarkable. I've I don't understand the appeal of golf at all, but I will tell you this. I know a lot of people listening is probably love golf, and I avoid playing it because I don't want to

devote that much time to it. And I know I feel like if it clicks in my mind, it will become a thing that I really really want to do a lot. And it's time consuming and expensive, and I'll do it more later in life perhaps, but for right now, I got too much that I got to focus on that. That's spending. I mean, playing eighteen holes of golf. I think it takes three or four hours, right, It's a long thing. Yeah, I just I said when I if I ever moved Florida, I might have to pick up golf.

Whose golf course is everywhere? Have you ever played? I've played once, I was very bad. I've tried. I've tried a little bit, and you know, I sort of take the Happy Gilmore approach to golf, where I just want to take the big stick and hit it as hard as I can, and it turns out there's a tremendous amount of focus and precision and all this sort of stuff that goes into it, and I just want to sort of I sort of just want to club that golf ball like a baby seal, you know what I mean.

I just I just want to knock it out, you know. Yeah, Yeah, it's I'm just kidding. I love baby seals. People don't freak out. You know, I love animals. God, I knew you wouldn't actually club a baby sealing. Yeah never, I know, But you know I don't want the peta people out there. I love baby edible. I want a pet seal, Okay, and people think I'm weird. I really do want to.

What I've realized is I have to start one of these animal rescue organizations because the huge benefit of that is it then you know, anytime a Bobcat gets gets hit by a prius somewhere and is kind of limping around, Now I got a pet bobcat, and I nurse it back to health. You see. You just want to live on like a wildlife reserve. Yeah exactly, But I don't want it to have to I don't want it to have to be in some foreign country where they have bad internet. You know, I'll do it here in America.

Just buy a bunch of land in Florida. I'm sure you're allowed to do that there. Yeah. You know. Actually, Florida has very permissive wildlife rules, which is one of the reasons why that guy Doc whatever his name is from the Tiger King series was down in Florida. I forget his name, name was Doc something or other. I feel like Florida has become the place in America that you can basically do anything. It's the new Vegas. Sounds sounds like Heaven to me. Sounds like Heaven to me.

So and you know, our our audience in Tampa on WFLA, and our audience in Miami and the whole Miami Southeastern Corridor on w IOD very robust as we've been added to those stations. So folks realize that we love we love producer Mark and Buck, love them some Florida big fans, big fans. Let's see here, Scott hey Buck. Oh no, wait, we got I got Scott'll come back to you. We got Terry first. If people want to be offended, they

can find fault or examples everywhere. This whole thing about the symbols found at SEPAK reminded me of when I was working at a boarding school in Maine and we hosted a soccer tournament. I drove some of the players from posing schools and one teenager spotted a stuffed black bear on a business's roof. One of the students was shocked and called it racist. He was dumbfounded. When I informed him the University of Maine mascot was the black bear,

which is native to New England. Silence for the rest of the ride. Well, that's quite a that's quite a story. Yeah. I mean, look, people can find racism everywhere. If you go and you read the report from the New York Times. I read some excerpts of it. I didn't read the whole thing. It's very long report about their science reporter who got fired for you know, allegedly, you know, using a racial slur in the text of asking whether somebody else had used the racial slur. You go back and

read the report and they also accused him. These students who are from sixty thousand dollars a year boarding schools

in the Northeast. For the most part, this is one of these trips that that is set up and places like The New York Times, you know, they create these things because it's basically a cash grab for them, because people pay all this money to have a New York Times journalist leads some trip for eighteen year olds to uh, you know, an ecosustainable village or something in Peru, and then they put that on their on their college applications, you know, so maybe they're seventeen. I guess some of

them are eighteen. Their college applications for the following year. You know, that's what this is. It's one of these these resume padding things that rich kids do. And anyway, the rich kids on the trip, I believe none of the kids were black on the trip, so just start with that. But they were the ones that brought the complaint against this New York Times reporter who just got fired. But they also accused him of, oh gosh, I gotta I gotta go back and check. And they accused him

of absurd things. You know. They accused him of of like demeaning someone's hometown. That was one of the complaints that they raised because he made some comment like, oh, Boston, that's a great town, you know, shame about your sports teams though, or something, and they raised that as a complaint. I mean, the people on this trip, these kids are Remember we used to use the term snowflake all the

time for very very easily wounded and offended liberals. You know, people who are just oh, they're always in a panic that that maybe we should bring that turn back or we need another one. Because that's what was going on. Here and this guy lost his job. He's been any any begged forgiveness and they didn't give it to him. So people guess people can find defense anywhere they want to,

and claiming victims status is actually a power play. I always remember that you're listening to the Buck Sexton Choke podcast. Make sure you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeart Radio app or wherever you get your podcasts. Okay, finishing up the show today with more roll Call, Facebook dot com, slash buck Sex and remember Instagram too, and I'm doing Instagram lives pretty much every day now. I've got different friends that are joining. Hopefully gonna have either Sean Parnell

or Jesse Kelly joint on Friday. And we tried Rob Smith last a week or two ago, but we had a tech issue. But we'll have Rob Smith back. So I got all kinds of folks will be joining on Instagram Live, so please do check it out. And let's get back into roll Call. Scott, Hey, Buck, I was glad to hear you say on Tuesday's show that Trump of twenty twenty can't succeed in twenty twenty four. I supported him twice because he was the most conservative option,

but he showed he is not a conservative. He never mentioned or acted in any way to promote limited government. He cannot discuss conservative principles coherently, as shown in the debates. Trump's best go to is greatest or biggest, and that can't cut it. He needs to actually know something or stay out of the race if he wants any chance of winning in twenty twenty four, needs to spend eighteen months learning our principles and then he can contribute positively

in the twenty twenty two elections. Well, Scott, I think, first of all, I appreciate you writing in and that you're you're sharing a perspective that I some of the audience will share with you. Most of them probably will disagree with you on a lot of that because people view Trump as as um. It wasn't about his conservative philosophy.

It was about his ability to fight the other side and to stand up against the madness of the woke left and on that he did never bend the knee, and that's that's part of him that I find very compelling. But you're when you say that I say that Trump can't succeed in twenty twenty Yeah, I think that unless their lessons learned, and unless he has a change in personnel. You know, you see what happened in this election. There were there were some shortcomings, and the people around Trump

know that, and we'll start to talk about that. But you know, it's it's not a it's not a revenue in dancing move as a conservative, as a Republican, in media or in politics, to speak honestly about what happened in the last election, you know, the good, the bad, and the ugly. And that needs to change because we lost this last election in part because yes, all the election law changes and everything had happened, but it was happening and the Trump campaign wasn't doing anything about it

and had months and months of that going on. So there are things we need to be very honest about. And I know that that's not always fun to hear as somebody who wants to see Trump succeed, and I do want to see Trump succeed if he runs again. I'm also not convinced he's going to run again. I think he's going to be important the Republican Party, but I think that he's going to put forward someone else, probably from the Trump family, as his heir. Apparent. That's

my belief right now. That could change, but that's what I see happening. That's gonna be the show for today. Everybody. I appreciate you being here. Please pass the buck. Tell somebody to go to bucksxen dot com, listen to bucksx and podcast. She'll tie
