Nancy Antoinette Doesn't Care About You

This is the buck Sexton Show. Thomas Cia analysts, I can speak to three hours without a phone call. Try doing that sometimes. No governors are of use. The country are looking forward to Phase one and announcing plans for an economic resurgence. We're going to have a resurgence too, at a time when millions of American workers and families are struggling with the financial consequences of the virus. It's critical to continue the medical war while reopening the economy

in a safe and responsible fashion. During this time, Americans must maintain strict vigilance and continue to practice careful hygiene, social distancing, and the other protective measures that we have outlined and that everybody has become very familiar with welcome

buck Sex and show everyone. President Trump continuing to hold the line here, pushing forward for reopening where it makes sense, where states feel that they are in a position to safely begin to return to business and allow for the economic activity that is necessary, as we all know, necessary to fund not just our day to day lives and make sure there's food on the shelves, but necessary to

make sure that hospitals have staff and personnel. There's a lot of steak with the economic contraction that we're seeing in contractions way too gentle a word. We are in a depression. We are in a depression. Let's be very clear about that. It might be a short lived depression. We will find out soon enough whether or not that's the case, but we are certainly in something of a depression.

You look at the numbers, there's no way around that. Georgia, Tennessee, and South Carolina are trying to reopen right now or in the process of reopening. I should say, there's different levels for different states, and now is when you're going to start to see unbelievable, just gross wrong politicization of this issue from people who look, we're at the point

where there are. There's not a small all number of individuals who are being very loud about what they things should happen here, who want to see failure in states reopening so that they can be right and Trump and the GOP and the reopen voices, including millions and millions of Democrats who don't have jobs right now either, who I'm sure care more about having a job and having a paycheck than they do about whatever they're saying on MSNBC. There are people who are rooting for this to not work.

It's very clear on social media. It's very clear from the way that this is being set up by so many people in the media that their primary goal here is to create the the trap for any governor of if you if you open and there are any there's any more outbreaks of the virus in your state, and there's any additional deaths, those deaths are on you, That blood is on your hand. We'll hold on a second. Flattening the curve was never we were never told that

flattening the curve was supposed to defeat the virus. And it's entirety because it can't, and we know that we can't continue the lockdown forever, so there is no future in which there are no more cases of this virus and there are no more deaths from this virus until we get to a vaccine or herd immunity, whichever comes first. Everyone keeps assuming we'll be at a vaccine in eighteen months. I'm not so confident. How is that vaccine for the

various strains of the common cold coming along right? I mean, I think there's going to be a tremendous focus on this. There is a focus on this right now, but we don't know. We don't have a SARS vaccine. They would say that SARS disappeared anyway. It's a very complicated thing. There's also this story out that you have thirty different according to one study linked on the Drudge Report, thirty different strains of this There's already mutations that are occurring

with the pandemic of this scale. That wouldn't seem it wouldn't seemed to be surprising. There's some mutation, although most mutation is minor. We've all been led to believe that mutation is like the X men, that the dramatic changes to the genetic code. That's usually a vast majority of the time. It's not the case, but still herd immunity would come at the at the long term price of a lot of lives, and we know that, so we didn't do that. Instead, we did the flattening the curve strategy.

We were told that was to prevent the overwhelming of our hospital system. Our hospitals are not overwhelmed anywhere, including here in New York, where there's a pretty substantial drop off in new cases and also in fatalities day to day. You know, fatalities are down about forty percent. New cases are down more than more than half. I think they're

down now sixty or seventy percent day to day. I think the height was around three thousand, and now you've got a little over a thousand a day, perhaps new or twelve hundred a day, something like that. So you've had a dramatic change in the trajectory here in the worst hit place. And we're told that this is all because of the flatten the curve strategy. But okay, well

then we've done it. If we extend this out, we're going to dramatically, dramatically add to our economic pain and the dislocation and the problems that no one really at this point could even begin to fathom what the long term consequences would be of shutting down our economy for months. This has never happened before. This is Remember, we're running an experiment that has never been done before in human history.

This has never been done a nationwide economic lockdown and just a general lockdown, societal lockdown of over three hundred million people right now. At least a third of the world they're estimating is under some form of lockdown, a third of the globe, a couple of billion people. We trust the people in charge public policy to make smart decisions about all of this. Well, there is going to be a lot of finger pointing, and there's going to

be a lot of people out there. There are going to be a lot of people out there who are very dishonest in the way they friend this whole issue. There will be more deaths from COVID nineteen no matter what we do. In fact, if the government said we don't care about the economy, everyone has to stay home on pain of imprisonment, there would still be people who would get this because we have essential workers that the government says are allowed to continue, and we need people

to stock the grocery stores. We have people that are driving trucks to get food to the grocery stores. We have healthcare personnel. I mean, hospitals are pretty much the worst place you can be when it comes to the transmission of this. The highest risk is going to be in a hospital where are COVID patients. So no matter what, there are going to be additional cases, and the moment

that you reopen a society, there'll be greater risk. But now is where Now's where we start to see who is willing to have an honest and adult and serious conversation about this massively important and consequential public policy issue, and who's a hack who really seeks to do the bidding of the left and the Democratic Party above all else, saving our economy, saving our way of life, and saving lives because all these things are intertwined. There is no

lockdown until cure strategy. It does not exist. It has never existed. And so then what we're hearing from Fauci and these others right now about the need for additional testing, testing would be helpful. Testing does not prevent the spread of the disease, nor does it cure the disease, nor does it mean that there won't be people who continue

to get the disease. So it's it's a useful tool in mitigation, but there are limitations on it, and we're being misled and I'm seeing some docs have finally had it. You know, this false consensus. Remember, science is not about consensus. Is about demonstrable, provable results that can be replicated by others under the same conditions. You know, when you mix together, what's in the blue tube, what's in the yellow tube, what do you get in the the you know the

last tube. Is it the same for every person? Or does it well, then that's then that's science. Right. If it's a different thing every time somebody does it, well, then we got to figure out why. It doesn't matter if somebody tells you it's the same. If it's not right. This is science is supposed to be about the scientific method, experimentation and results that can be replicated. Instead, what we

have now is a false and constantly shifting consensus. This is what you must do because all the smart people say it, every two weeks seems to change and all of a sudden, the smart people, the experts are telling this very different things. And I don't just throw this in there because it's kind of amusing to think about how wrong they were. We've now seen the lowest oil price recorded. We had for certainly when I was in college, and for for decades we've had people talking about how

we're running out of oil. This was a thing you would hear. Experts would say this, we're running out of oil. Now we have so much oil, We've used more oil. There's great there was until this happened. You know, greater global demand for oil than there had been ten, fifteen, twenty years ago by a lot. And now we can't even Not only do we have a low price for oil,

we're running out of places to store it. And experts, the smartest people, the people that you're supposed to listen to a not question, they told you that that we were going to run out of this and that's why we needed to switch to renewables in a crash course, you know, asap, whatever it takes, all hands on deck, got to get those windmills up and solar panels, Gotta set up as many ugly wind farms as possible. Queens and arts for migratory fouls like to call them just

chopping up birds day and night all the time. But yeah, otherwise we're gonna run out of oil. That's where we are now. The experts are telling us that we need to just stay at our homes until they say we can come out. No, no, that's not a good idea. We are going to have to take risk as a society. I was willing to say this early on. I've been saying it all along, and I received a tremendous viciousness from the left for saying that. We you know, for

opposing the extension of the shutdown. I've always thought that this was a bad idea. I thought that two weeks of pause maybe to get you know, I was on board for a two week pause to let our hospitals and systems and everything get better set up, you know, to deal with the incoming But the thirty day extension was more than a thirty day extension was Oh well, maybe maybe if we just keep waiting this out, the

virus will fade away. It's not going to happen. You know what controls this virus, individual action, mitigation and playing the numbers, engaging in intelligent behavior. But you know what else is necessary a functioning economy and a functioning society with people who are not by the millions fall into depression and despair and alcohol abuse and suicide. Okay, that's also a part of this fight, and that this has turned so very clearly political where I just know, I

mean Democrats are anti reopen, anti reopen. That's where that's what they've turned into based on what they think that this is sustainable. You know, we don't all work for BuzzFeed and get to sit on our couch with our four roommates out in bedsty in Brooklyn and you know, bang away on a keyboard and make some catalysticals and put some trash up on the internet and get you know, our paychecks into us every month. People are saying to me, oh, you're used to have a job. Yeah, I still have

a job. Does anybody really think that the media industry in general, especially those of us like me who it's a very simple equation. You build audience, and the audience then responds to your sponsors, to the products that your sponsors are selling on the air. Everybody's hurting right now. Who's in that who's in that game? Everyone's going to be in rough shape. You know. There's already been furloughs that have gone on at a bunch of the major

media companies. But you know, if you're a blogger, you used to sit at home. You don't could pay that much anyway, and you know, maybe you just kind of continue doing what you're doing. So easy to sneer at people. Not quite as easy as it is, perhaps for Nancy Pelosi and her artist an ice cream by the way, the ad, the ad that then, I don't know if the RNC put it out or but I saw Brad Pascal share it on Twitter. There's an ad out there

right now of Nancy Pelosi. It is just devastating because because it's so true, it shows who these democrats really are. It just intersperses people who are saying, who look who have a look of shock on their faces because their livelihood, their day to day purpose of going to work and providing for themselves and their families and being productive members of society, that's been taken from them, taken from them by the government. We did not have to do this.

Don't let them tell you that this was a decision that was made. They they managed to unite, put maximum pressure on Trump, potentially set it up so that if he didn't do this, he was a mass murderer. I mean, they just they all the insanity of the Russia collusion, and Trump is hitler, and Trump is a traitor, and

he Prutent's puppet, all that same craziness. All of a sudden, now they could use a body, an actual body count as as a big tool to just bludgeon the president into doing what they said he had to do here, which was a shutdown. The economy number not just the two weeks. The two weeks we could we could have been okay, vast majority of small businesses could handle it, and then we'd be able to get them cash. And so, you know, the two weeks was manageable. Six weeks is brutal.

Ten weeks. We're not going to have the same economy after this. I don't care what they say. So this plan that some states seem to have, Yeah, well let's see where we are in June. No, this is the wrong that's the wrong path for us to be on. And the public health, public health experts and the public health apparatus in general has dramatically underperformer and let us down. If people are gonna you know, I'm somebody who comes out of a CIA background, and we got trashed and

I wasn't even there when it happened. We got trash for missing nine to eleven, and then we got trash for being wrong on WMD a lot. And you know what we deserved it. Those institutions deserved all of the all of the criticism they received as a result of that. Our public health experts stretching into the middle of February, late February, we're telling us that this wasn't a big

deal and it was going to be fine. Yeah. I know they can say China lied, but you know, anybody could have just said, well, this is what China is saying. So I guess it's okay. This is the public people are trying to make this Trump's nine to eleven. That's really what you see the political movement is all about right now from the left. But this is actually our

public health systems nine to eleven. You know, was it was it George Bush's fault that they didn't figure out that that the plot to run planes into the Pentagon and it would have been also the Capitol Building and the World Trade Center? Was it? Was it really Bush's fault? Or was it the FBI? A lot of FBI fault to go around, by the way, and the CIA and the other intelligence community that weren't really doing their job.

And the commander chief can only execute on what these institutions are able, are able to do, you know, or are able to put forward. And here I mean the public the public health system in this country at the policy level, again separated from the first line providers, doctors and nurses. We've got great We've got great healthcare personnel. I'm saying, the policy makers and the agency, the regulatory chiefs inside the CC, the NIH completely failed, completely failed

on this issue. And now we've set this up so that the only way that you can avoid criticism is continue to listen to them. What all they're telling you is just basically hide until we say it's safe to come out. America. Well, some of America is willing to go outside and take the risk. Anybody wants to hide under their bed forever is allowed to do so. But other people want to open businesses and try to live

life again. What's really the alternative? I know it's all you want Grandma to die and this idiocy that's out there all the time. What is the alternative? They don't have an answer. Well, as long as it destroys Trump. That's what matters most. You're in the Freedom mind. This is the Buck Sex and Show podcast. I think history is going to judge him very harshly and put him in the same camp as Gerald Ford and even Herbert Hoover, who ignored what the depression was doing to people and

failed to bring the country back. That's where this president is now, and he should kiss his reelection goodbye if he thinks he's going to be able to convince the American people to want four more years of a guy who can't even get the basics right. That's what this is all about, isn't it. They tell you it's about saving life, saving lives and doing what's best for the country. But Democrats, they see this all is just an opportunity.

They're treating it is one. There's the mayor of New York, a complete ignor, ramis a joke of a leader, a jerk, and he's already saying, yeah, Trump Trump is it shouldn't win reelection because of this. What was Trump supposed to do that he didn't do. I mean, we've we've already had this narrative that they keep they keep pushing it. What was Trump supposed to do didn't do oh because he was a little too positive sounding in the early days about this. That means he shouldn't get real he

shouldn't get re elected. We're we're going to do more of a full accounting on the show today of what reality is here versus what the left says it is about Trump's response. Thanks for listening to the bus sets and show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcast, the iHeart Radio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. We're seeing with these protests crop up all across the country right now, including the protests in Texas and other places

where they're saying fire Anthony faucshi Faucchiet is wrong. They're resisting these stay at home orders from governors. What's your message back to those protesters. Yeah, yeah, I mean I think you know. The message is that clearly this is something that is hurting from the standpoint of economics, from the standpoint of things that have nothing to do with the virus. But unless we get the virus under control,

the real recovery economically is not going to happen. So what you do if you jump the gun and go into a situation where you have a big spike, You're going to set yourself back. So as painful as it is to go by the careful guidelines of gradually phasing into a reopening, it's going to backfire. That's the problem. See Anthony Fauci is not a public policy expert. He

is an infectious disease expert. So his thoughts on the protests are not nearly as insightful or Worthwhile I say his thoughts on the our level infection spread rate of different pathogens, we do not expect somebody who's an infectious disease expert or doctor to have any special insight into what is necessary for the functioning of our republic. And that is what is at stake here. If we continue to do this until we have the disease under control,

how is that going to happen? You know? Finally, now people are willing to ask questions about until we get the testing gets the point where are we going to be testing everybody every two weeks? There are doctors in Italy who have I've cited one on the show, but they were saying, look, you know, okay, so we test guess what. By the time you figure out somebody you know has this you may already have spread it to a number of people. By the time you track them down,

you could already have a new cluster. So, yeah, the testing is useful. People want to know if they have this, and they should know if they are going to be exposing others to it. But how it Testing is not a cure. And this is where we so so you know, we keep hearing like we're being told certain things, and

people are hearing something else. They hear, oh, we need are testing to get to a certain capacity, and then that that somehow translates into well, once testing is at a certain capacity, we won't be at risk of spikes and of deaths from this. That's not true. That's not true. Even if testing is at the level that Fauci says it has to be, there there will still be people. There will still be people who get this, who die from this. And that's just the reality of our situation

right now. And I'm wondering when somebody in the public health sector, you know, we have to start talking about that. Everyone discusses, Oh, you know, we're gonna protect life. We're gonna protect life. Yeah, we know, we're doing the best we can. People are also going to continue to die from this virus. That's gonna happen. That's gonna be true in two weeks, it's gonna be true in two months,

it might be true in two years. So can we understand and so now we as a society to figure out how do we live with this going on in the background. There is no short term reality of a world that we can live in. A world literally a world, I mean, never mind just America, anywhere where there's not the possibility of and the threat of this virus and we don't see continuing infections and some people succumbing to it.

We do need to have that honest conversation, it seems to me at some point, especially when you have people that are now claiming that there's a recklessness in wanting to reopen. You know what's really reckless living in this fantasy that we can just keep having business shutdown and we can have the cessation of economic activity, the destruction of lives, the destruction of futures. My friends, I know that we were told that we're all going to get

Money's gonna be okay. I mean, there are hopefully going to fix it soon with this PPP getting additional funding ninety five percent of the businesses that needed the money didn't get it because they ran out of money. Do you know what that tells us? I mean, first of all, it's it's a reminder that the government is not nearly as efficient, intelligent, effective as we'd all, perhaps especially in

a crisis like to believe it is. I mean, it's a reminder of government government sloth, and an aptitude and inability. It's a reminder of those things. But it also tells us that people whose job it is to understand what the implications of our situation really are right now, they hugely undershot how much economic devastation would be created in the first few weeks of this. Right we had all the people together, Okay, how much money are we going

to need for this? And I'm also wondering how it could be possible that they run out of the first you know whatever, it is, the first hundreds of billions for this plan, but only only five percent of business has actually got a loan. And now they're going to throw one hundreds of billions of more at it, and that's going to cover the other ninety five percent of small businesses that need loans, and they haven't and here

here's another big problem. And I'm getting a little ahead of myself because I wanted to talk about this later in the show. The way that this is structured, all

you have to do is say you're affected by COVID nineteen. Well, anybody in a business environment who can is going to say, you know, even if I've got a capital reserve here, and I could probably ride this out for six months a year, which is not a lot of businesses, by the way, But I'm saying even if somebody was in that in that position, they say, the government's going to give me a loan that I don't have to pay back, you know, business could turn really bad for me in

a month or two, or who knows where the world's going. I'd rather have the money. That's what's obviously happened here. They couldn't figure this out that you you should have to show, you know. They for individuals, if you made more than whatever was two years ago, made more than

one hundred grand, didn't get any money. But for businesses they gave you know, Shakeshack raised one hundred and fifty million dollars earlier in the year, and they got a ten million dollar government loan because and they're allowed, it's legal. I'm not saying. Look, and I understand from shake Shack's perspective and from these other restaurants, they're saying, we got staff, we got problems. Government's given out free money, not nearly

enough free money. Though the all of the projections about this, Nobody, nobody in the government really has any understanding of what this what this kind of cessation of activity does to actual underlying wealth in an economy and the real power and faith of a of a currency. They have no idea. This has never been done before. But let me go back to the reopening here for a second, because Georgia, and I want to tell you this. You know, I put I put my money where my mouth is on

things like this. I try to always live according to everything that I tell you, both in terms of principle, and you know, I try to be honest about my shortcomings and tell you where I need improvement, whether it's on political issues that I am I waiver on or just personal stuff right, whatever it may be. Uh. You know, I'm I just last night signed an agreement to go give a speech in North Carolina in June. I'm I'm

going down to North Carolina. I mean, as of now, unless there's some state law that bars me or something, you know that that could happen, right, But as of now, assuming the order is lifted and travel is I'm going down there, because what am I gonna do. I'm gonna tell everybody we need to reopen America, and then I'm gonna I'm gonna hide in my apartment in New York and not go anywhere ever and not see people and not be a part of the reopening myself. I mean,

I really thought about this last night. I sat there and I have a the person who's reached out to me for his group. You know, he's a marine and I've known him for for over thirty years. We've been friends for over thirty years since we're little kids, and we reached out to me, and I just you know, we had a quick chat on the phone and I said, look,

you know, I'm I'm I want to come down. I said, do you think do you think your people, meaning you know, the audience that you're going to bring to this a Republicans in North Carolina, do you think they'll show because you know, uh, you know, that's that's my big concern is that this could be. And he said, Buck, well, you know, if we have to sit chairs apart, or you know, whatever we have to do to comply, we'll do.

But I'm telling you this right now. My people want to get America back up on its feet and going. And they're going to show up to a GOP a GOP rally like this, and and they're going to be there for a speech. That's what he told me. And I said, well, look, as long as we're you know, within the letter of the law on this one, if your people are showing up, I'm showing up. So I'm going to be there. I signed last night, so I'll

be going to North Carolina to give a speech. And I said, look, if there's five people in that audience, you know, if the social distancing mean there's only there's only ten people that are allowed to show up, whatever it is, right, whatever you have to do, that's going to keep. If one person is going to show up, I'm going to show up. If they're gonna be if someone's willing to sit out there in that audience, and I'm hoping it's going to be more like, you know,

three or four hundred people. But if anyone's willing to show up. Then then I'll be there, and it will in June, we'll know more about how things are going. But I'm just saying, I'm I'm trying to prepare for a future in which we start to get back to life as we've known it. And yeah, there are there are going to be some risks in that. There are a risk to all of us. There's risk walking out your front door every day. We're seeing this now. Lives

are saved. Lives have been saved by the lockdown, not just whether you want to talk about the COVID nineteen numbers, but from car accidents, from accidents of all kinds, way down, way down. And if somebody does, and I'm sure they will at some point when things come down, I'll do an analysis of this and we'll see that there are a lot of lives saved by telling people they have to stay in their homes. Yeah, but everyone has had to stay in their homes. We're giving up weeks and

weeks of our lives. You know, the only thing you can't the only commodity that you can't get back, And this is a thing i've heard of Wall Street. The only thing that you can't get back that's tangible to you you can't get more of. You can't get more of is actually the phrase time. We are all living under various phases of house arrests right now, and the data doesn't support that this is even a good thing

in the short term, never mind the long term. The data all the day that I'm seeing is that with personal mitigation measures, limitations on large crowds, don't use mass transportation. But you know, as long as you take the precautions that one can take without locking down entirely and not allowing for economic activity, you'd get very close to, if not exactly where we are in terms of the safety of the people in any society that was doing it.

There's a very real, not to argument him, there's a lot of data to support that, but no one cares. Right lockdown, that's what we're doing. We're doing a lockdown because we've been told to do so. I mean people on the left that they've really been conditioned to just whatever the state says. You know, if the state says do ten jumping jacks, as long as it's not a you know, if it's a Republican telling them to do it,

then they might have a question. But if it's just the state in general happy to do it whatever, whatever the government tells them. Stunning. But this is where we are, and you know, here here is a an epidemiologist who's going, you know, going after Governor Kemp here, who's saying he wants to start reopening his state soon in a matter of days for business and for some activities. I think Jim's will be open to man that would Wouldn't that

be nice to look go to the gym again. I mean, you know, I'm not I'm not like some some big Jim guy or something, but it's just nice to have that change of pace and deal with you know, your frustrations and everything that way and getting better shape. Play clip twenty. I've got Georgia on my mind tonight. Every epidemiologist in the country has been trained in Georgia at CDC or goes there. It's the mecca for epidemiologists. And I wonder what Governor Kemp is thinking. Georgia has twice

as many cases per capita as California. It's in the top ten states for deaths. Number of deaths has doubled in the last week in Georgia. It's in the top ten states in the country. I don't understand it doesn't meet CDC's guidelines. He should just go down the block and go to sixteen hundred Clifton Road where CDC is and talk to the epidemiologists. And I don't think that they'd be very happy about this. Well, the epidemiologists don't

have to answer the question for me. What happens when millions of people realize that the government can't actually put the economy back together again. Isn't allowing them, isn't allowing them to pay their bills, took their jobs away from them, and is now telling them they can't go outside and engage in basic human activities. How long do you think

that holds together epidemiologists for a disease? Let's remember that at at a maximum right now, at a maximum based on all the numbers are seeing the Santa Clara study out of Germany, out of France, out of the homeless study out of Boston, the pregnant women with COVID nineteen here in New York, of the hospitals, I mean, at a at a maximum, this is going this is going to end up killing roughly one percent of the people who get it, but really the number is going to

be much more like you know, point five or point three or point one. Now I'm not saying that's not a horrific death toll, but you also can't crush all of society for that that. That is fundamentally what people will not tell you right now, But that is where

we are. That is what the public policy community. They're acting on this without being willing to say it otherwise, Well, then yeah, I guess if it's if it's if it saves just one life, then we shut down until there's a vaccine and we will not have a country left. So these epidemiology they can all sit around and talk with all, you know, Georgia, how could they do what they're doing? How long do they think this is? Do we want to wait a year? We think that's going

to work out? Well, there's not going to be a lot of research done by epidemiologists that there are people out on the streets rioting. And if you think that that can happen, just look at where we're heading economically right now and the strain we're putting on our entire financial system. You're in the freedom hunt. This is the Buck Sexton Show. Podcast. These people are being egged on by right wing media and people like Alex Jones and Rush Limbaugh. And why are you bringing guns to a rally?

You want to call yourself protesters? Leave your guns home. Those are terrorists who bring guns to things, to rallies. I don't trust that at all. And to listen to these people, don't trust them at all. Why are they bringing guds to a rally? I mean, my doorman and my butler and my maid. They don't carry gardens. I gotta say, how many how many acts of violence have there been from protesters who want to end the lockdowns out?

Let's right? The answer is zero. Remember when we were worried about insurrection because they were a bunch of Second Amendment protesters who were gathering together in the state capital of Virginia, and a lot of them had a lot of them had legally carried legally owned firearms on them.

Zero acts of violence? Do they do they ever even notice, they ever even care that they propagate all this hysteria in the media, And well, really, as we know, gun ownership has just become a it's just an issue of ideological separation now for so many people. If you own guns. If you believe in the Second Amendment, you're a certain kind of person, and it's the kind of person that the left doesn't like. But on the issue of the lockdowns,

we are seeing such a divide in our society. And I'm somebody who know, at least for now, I mean I am, I am well, I'm lucky, and I'm unlucky in the circumstances. I mean, look, we're anyone who has their health right now, let's start with that. You're lucky, okay, if you're healthy, you don't have this, you don't have an immediate family member with this. You're lucky health wise, all right, But then there's the economics of it. In that sense, I'm also lucky. I still have a job.

It is absolutely crushing. It is a gut punch to think about all the people who listen to this show, all the people across the country who do not have a job, who do not have money in the bank. And I know what it's like to not have any money in the bank. It is incredibly anxiety producing. I've had that as an adult. I think I had, like you know, one point, you know, a couple of hundred bucks in the bank. I mean, it was just not good. But I didn't have a family to feed it, I

don't have a mortgage to pay. And that was because of choices that I had made. It wasn't for It wasn't because the government came along and said you're not how to have a job anymore. The rage that's building up is real and it is justified. Thanks for listening to The Bus Sesson Show podcasts.

The President made this announcement, albeit on Twitter, that he was going to sign an executive order suspending all immigration to the United States. Your reaction, Look, I think it's another diversion. The agencies don't even know what it is. No one knows what it is. Last yesterday or the day before, we were talking about who I think the President ort to stop these diversions. What we really need is a focus on testing, a focus on contact tracing so that we can open up again. And that should

be the focus. That's what we've been We've been negotiating this over night, and I don't think we should be lost in diversions that have little to do with getting the testing and the opening up of America, that we need testing. Huh more of this. Yeah, testing is important. Testing is not a panacea, not even close. Testing doesn't mean people won't get the virus. It doesn't mean people won't die from the virus. But this is now, this is the complaint that the left has dug in on

because you'll never have enough testing. You'll never have enough testing, And that's just the that's a way to gripe about reopening and say, oh see, it's not that we didn't want to reopen at all. It's that the we didn't want to reopen until the testing was good enough. When when will the testing be good enough? September October? Oh maybe after the election. Huh interesting, It's it's absurd. But

they're they're talking now about how Trump is. Trump has said he did it, he didn't make it the announcement on Twitter, which is very Trumpian. He's amazing, becase the way he slaps around these journalists, as I know that the journal has hated. That's why I love it. It's fantastic. We've we've all had the stomach for far too long. These preening social justice want to be overpaid babies in

our professional national news media. We've all had to listen for how long now to them just lecturing the country and thinking that they're so important and so irreplaceable. And Trump's just like, look, you're a clown, you're a jerk, you're a joke. Let's start with that. You want to

make this about you. This the economy is getting crushed and people are dying from a terrible virus, and you want to stand up here when you have the attention of the whole nation and not ask a question that's worthwhile, but ask a question that's meant to be a gotcha. So you get a you know, an at a boy or at a girl from Rachel matt Ou on MSNBC. I don't think so. Not on Trump's watch. God bless him for it. But now he's saying he's going to shut down immigration for a while, and the left is

predictably freaking out about this. Well, here's the problem that they're going to run into. Of course we don't want immigration right now. Of course a pause, and that would be good. Do we remember how we were told that you can't overstress your hospital systems. Right now, you know what other system you can overstress? The federal government's agencies that are tasked with preventing illegal entry or having to even vet and take care of legal entries into the country.

At this point in time, you know where we were already think about this. We were trying to get US citizens and Green card holders back into the United States

that were stuck abroad, and that was a challenge. We're really gonna want to sit around and have to process and deal with the possibility of people coming into the country who, look, this is this is one of those establishing of sovereignty moments where you know, if you're not American, if you're not you know, part of the American family, you you're not someone that's at the top priority for US resources right now. That's just that's just the way

any country would be. That doesn't mean anybody that shows up at the emergency rooms or whatever that needs help. Of course, we're going to help everybody that we have to help. We're a humane we're a mind, and we're a fundamentally moral America is a fundamentally moral country. Of a lot of other countries aren't. I In fact, very few countries are anywhere near as fundamentally morals as we are,

as a people and as a nation. But yeah, there's there's going to be a pause on immigration right now, according to the President, and we were going to go through this again. And I just I just want to establish right now they're gonna say, he doesn't have the authority, he doesn't have the authority, he can't do this's the will of Congress. Remember the whole battle that went all the way to the Supreme Court over the so called Muslim band. Oh, and oh, it was so terrible, the

Muslim band. I mean it was a band on like twelve percent of by population countries from the Muslim world, all of which that are already been established by the Obama administration, by the Obama administration as not just high risks of terror, but also not having proper procedures and counter terris and cooperation in place to prevent the possible infiltration of terrorists into this country. Right, that was and

that was the whole purpose of it. And the argue, oh my gosh, the left, you don't have a right to do this in federal judges who apparently can read the law very well, don't don't understand what the law really is. They make it up as they go along. I mean, I gotta tell you, we're always talking about how how undergraduate programs in this country are not what we were led to believe. And I'm a big proponent of being honest about this. I think that most most

bash and what I was doing. You know, most bachelor degrees aren't worth the very high falutin paper they're printed on. I think mine was actually printed on like a goat carcass or something, or like sheepskin or something like that. Yeah, I know, weird, right, but they're not worth it. Um guess what else isn't worth it? As an intellectual and

now as as a credential and exercise. Sure, but intellectually speaking, I'm amazed at how many people come out of law school and have just a fundamental misunderstanding of law and political philosophy that has been ingrained in them. I mean, they're really taught to just become liberal activists and think that they're supporting the law. They think that words and language and principle are whatever they want them to be. It doesn't really matter what they are. It's all subjective,

it's all up for change. Anyway. This made its way all the way up the Supreme Court before with the so called Muslim ban or its I like to call it the temporary pause in admissions from countries that have established a history of terrorist threat and do not have proper vetting procedures in place for the purposes of preventing a surge in risk to the United States from terrorism. But there's no cool acronym for that, so I get it,

and there's no pithy way of saying it. But the so called Muslim ban, which was not a Muslim ban, the temporary the temporary travel restriction. There we go. That's what they should have called it, temporary travel restriction. When all the Supreme Court turns out that the president, under the Constitution, under the laws of this country, does in fact have, for national security purposes, the authority to say who can enter the United States of America. We've already

run this experiment. We've already seen it. And the Libs are going to tur run and say, what do you

mean he's stopping immigration? He can't do this, Yes, yes he can, because the national security purpose of stopping additional entries into the United States for non US citizens and non green card holders when you're dealing with a pandemic, and when we don't have the procedures yet, maybe we will and maybe look at them in play soon to do rapid and immediate testing for anyone coming into the country.

There is a very real possibility of introducing people into the United States who have COVID nineteen, which places further burdens on our healthcare system, on our system in general. That's a real risk. They can say it's not, but it is. That is a real risk. In fact, Singapore, which had done a very good job of dealing with it, the initial outbreak of COVID nineteen, has had a secondary outbreak,

not a huge one, but a secondary outbreak. And what have they already traced it to people coming to Singapore from outside, people who are infected who show up in Singapore. That's and you who have not been in countries where they had these same stringent lockdown procedures and the same you know, vetting and science based measures in place to

control the disease. So we've already seen this. We've already seen one country where the I mean, look, I know it's a very small country, but it is a country, and we've already seen that the entry of people from the outside can be a problem. So are you going to see any honesty about this from the left whatsoever. No, you will not. No, you will not. And you'll have, for example, Mayor Eric Garcetti, who who's really like a

one man illegal illegal immigrant lobbying arm. I mean, that's really what you know, Garcetti, anything that's about illegals, and it's just it's a shame for the state of California. But you know, illegals are now and you say, oh buck, they can vote. Well, they get drivers licenses, and they get instituition, and they get all kinds of state benefits, they get healthcare, they get money from this state as part of the COVID nineteen they're giving them just cash.

And also because of the connections between illegal aliens and people who are citizens and un do live in the state of California and the emotional and personal ties to millions of people in that group, this is now a voting constituency that the state of California. If you want to be in the mayor of la or if you want to be the governor governor Newsom, you got to just bend the need or whatever illegal aliens want all the time. You can never talk about rule law stuff Oh,

what do you mean with that rule of law? That's hey, So here's LA's mayor, who is I think slightly less awful than New York's mayor. But that's a really tight comparison. Here's what he says about the immigration tweet from tromp play three. I believe in governance by law and not necessarily by tweet. I'm proud to be the grandson of an immigrant from Mexico. That's why I'm the mayor today. We have a president who is the grandson of an

immigrant as well, who married immigrants. We can't run away from who we are and the people who are helping us most right now. I think we are all in this together and all life matters, and this isn't going to get stopped by playing politics. I think that Mexico is more worried about the rate of infection from the United States right now than vice versa. So let's make sure that we stay connected and engage with the world, and let's not start writing off anybody in this country

just because of where they come from. But maybe by all immigration he means everybody who knows maybe European every founding. Some of the darkest chapters of our American history are written in times like the World War Two, when we scapegoat people and try to change the subject. This is a public health emergency. This is not an immigration emergency. So I hope we can stay focused on what this really is. Notice the immigration, the pro immigration fanaticism that's

really on display here. My friends, you and I are being told we can't leave our homes. You want to talk about not feeling like America. We're supposed to stay locked in our own home only going out to get, you know, necessary groceries. And even then you got to wear a mask, and you got a social distance. And and I'm supposed to be worried about the fact that we're not going to be taking in new immigrants for maybe a matter of a few weeks, maybe a month

or two. Well, look at the priorities of the democratic Oh this is not who we are. Yeah, we're also not a country that's supposed to be on universal lockdown. Yea, idiots, maybe there's a real emergency right now, and being the nation of him Rance is not the most important thing for us to be thinking about. It's just it's just really complicated. They can't figure this out. The light lead person head. Figure it out that nazi Nazi pelosis put

down the wine cooler long enough. He's going to answer the question placed in play nineteen with President used the word waste three times at least in his comment, and I think it's a waste of time to even comment on what he said when he uses term negative terms to describe anyone he wants to hoist blame one instead of taking responsibility. I spoke truth when I said he's a poor leader. He never accepts responsibility. He always assigns blame.

It's not too late to tell the truth or to do the right thing, and I hope that he will. This test for the back and forth between the governors and the President is very interesting because he, on the one hand, wants to look like, well, we have all we need. Let the oven nurse Stewart. But the fact is that they it doesn't add up, and it has to add up. What is she talking about? She just

just babbles. You know. Sometimes Trump has a particular way of saying things, and he can get a little bit wrapped around his words, but you always know that he's trying to say something, and you know what he's actually trying to say, what the heck is Nancy Pelosi saying, yes, this is the president. It is the place figure here the play not a good leader, third in line for the presidency, folks, most powerful elected Democrat in the United

States of America. This is who they offer up. This is who all the all the multi millionaire news anchors out there who want to lecture you from the Hamptons because they don't want to stay home in quarantine in their apartments. No, they get to go out to their estates and then take over a wing of it to set up their home studio. And then they go, o oh, why would the peasants want to leave their homes? Chris Cuomo, mister, I have COVID, and I need to be so careful.

Now there's this report out that that guy's going He's gone from Southampton to East Hampton. I mean, the Hampton's is just a collection of a lot of very rich people with very high self opinion, and he's going from one town to another while he's an active carrier of COVID. According to The The New York Post, anyone calling him out for that, Oh, no, no noise. Oh look at the great job. Another guy, I apologize to some of you, for I was way too charitable in my early estimation

of what. You know. Governor Cuomo was being so nice and friendly to Trump in the early days because he needed to create some distance between the massive stink of his early failures as the governor of this state to get us ready for the pandemic that has killed thousands and thousands of my fellow New Yorkers, my fellow Americans here. So he was all, oh, yeah, I'm just being mister, you know, trying to be helpful with everything else. That was the whole purpose of it. I just I had

to figure out what had gone on beforehand. I had to dig into the numbers a little bit, you know. So the Cuomo Brothers road show they've been doing not that entertaining. There's much more important stuff going on and the double standard that we're seeing from people like Pelosi, and it's just you're seeing who people really are right now. You're seeing who they really are. Don't forget it. Don't forget it. You're in the freedom Hunt. This is the

Buck Sexton Show podcast. Okay, team, I wanted to give you the specific tweet on the immigration suspension that the President has now laid out in the last twenty four hours, in light of the attack from the invisible enemy, as well as the need to protect the jobs of our great American citizens, I'll be signing an executive order to temporarily suspend immigration into the United States. It's temporary, it's

a suspension. He has the authority to do this. But you know what part of what drives people on the left so insane about this whole thing is that this COVID nineteen crisis has shown us that secure borders are a national security issue. That's a real thing. That's just the truth. And it also is a reminder as millions and millions of people are losing their jobs that there that a job is something that is precious and there are a limited number of them, and supply and demand

doll does still apply even in the labor market. That's a real thing. So we're seeing in many ways, a vindication through historical events here of much of Trump's philosophy when it comes to China, when it comes to immigration, when it comes to borders, when it comes to jobs. When you know, you're seeing a lot of where Trump was right early on, and people have been trying to shout him down and say he's so awful and so

such a terrible president and all the rest of it. Meanwhile, to anybody who's paying attention and being honest about it, if we had made some of the changes that he had been suggesting, and he did give an update yesterday on the wall, they said over one hundred miles of wall have been built. These are these are things that early on we were told, we're crazy. You know, you can't rely on China to build all these things for you. We have to build more stuff here. We have to

move manufacturing back here. You know, the the early consensus, you know, elite consensus opinion on this was no, why it's great for us, It's great for China. They make all our stuff. We get to, you know, get cheap TVs and sell them all of our treasury debt. And you know, it's all great for everybody. Really, having your greatest global competitor that seeks to supplant you and seeks to humiliate you on the world stage over time and make your people poorer and less free and have less

influence as a culture over time. That country you're going to put in charge of your supply of necessary medical equipment and antbiotics. Trump knew that was a bad idea. Did the did the so smart intelligencia know? Oh they did not know. Thanks for listening to The bus Essen Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcast, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. And yet in January a certain date, you know the date better than I do.

We put on a band of China, which China can't come in, and before March we put on a band on Europe where Europe can't come in. So how could you say I wasn't taking it? Seriously? Do you know I put on a band on China before anybody in this country died? I put on a band And so you tell me Nancy Pelosi was having she wanted to have a street party in Chinatown in San Francisco at the end of February. That's a month later. Devastating and true Left's gonna have a very hard time with this.

The media, they're just the disgusting so called journalist class at the time, New York Times, the wash Can Post, CNN and MSNBC. I mean CNN is really CNN is now an organization that propagates a lot of lies and has really turned into it's a bad place with a lot of really bad people working there, not everybody, a lot of very bad people, not an organization. It has

lost its way. It is now an organ of propaganda from the left that will seek to destroy Trump at any And I want to say now it has been for a while, but it's very clear even during a pandemic, when they they could just be they could just pivot and become an information source, neutral journalist, you know, try to be more like the perception out of the BBC is very left wing too, but the perception of the BBC around the world of just you know, oh, we're

just reading the news. We don't have opinions. You know, CNN could do something like that, but they don't. They do what they always do. They're the propaganda arm of the DNC, and they're an utter, an utter disgrace. But they're also feverishly working, feverishly working to rewrite the history

here of what really happened. I mean, that's a very remember that and someone wants to challenge you or argue with you on how Trump has done such a bad job, you had to Blasio saying that Trump is like Hoover or Ford, he's never going to get reelected, oh, because his pandemic response was so bad. He before a single American had died from the shutdown flights from China, which even Saint Fauci has said, save thousands and thousands of

American lives by preventing the direct importation. Wait a second, you mean that we shouldn't just bring in people who are foreigners and not worry about what happens with the situation of public health during a pandemic. Because we shut that down, lives were saved, and it wasn't perfect, and we've obviously lost a lot of lives. I've told you in New York it's Look, it's density and the subway. It's the population density and the subway and the global

travel hub. You add those three things together and you have a nightmare scenario with this disease. We have that more than any other place in the entire United States, which is why in New York City is sixty five percent of the cases of New York State. New York State's a big state. People forget that here. I mean, you know, you head out to Buffalo, it's like you're in Canada. It's not close. It's like an eight hour

drive from New York City. So there's a there's a whole other state, and most of the cases, a majority of the cases are right here in a relatively very small square mileage area with a whole lot of people packed on top of it. So Trump took action before there was a single death, and Pelosi and all the rest of them are saying, oh, if we had been in charge, things would have been so much better. There's just there's just no reason to believe that that's true.

There's no evidence to suggest that that's true. Pelosi was saying, it's get's kept out to it's a party. It's you know, party of Chinatown. It's gonna be great, it is. It's yeah, that was We've heard the audio. I played it for you on this Pelosi was saying, yeah, come on down, it's fine, We'll all we'll all be fine, come on out of Chinatown, right when the virus was really starting to spread and hit badly here in the United States.

So we can allow them to rewrite the history here, we can't allow them to get away with pretending that something else would have happened. I mean, just just so we understand how really political this is again Deblasi. Remember Deblasi was the mayor of the worst hit COVID nineteen city in the country. And here's the way that he

talks about this when he's given a national podium. You know, is he being a man for this moment and trying to bring us all together and find ways to help the situation, or does he wind blame Republicans and say that Trump is basically a fascist and the worst ever and Republicans too Play seventeen. What's happening right now in Washington is a discussion of adding to the stimulus money to support state and local governments so they can get back on their feet, so they can actually move forward

to that restarted the economy. The House under the leadership of Speaker Pelosi is ready to move forward. Senate Democrats under the leadership of Chuck Schumer are one percent ready to move forward. Senate Republicans are trying to stop aid

to cities and states around the country. And let me remind you Blue states and red states, they're actually standing in the way of people of all persuasions, all backgrounds, big states, small states, every part of the country getting the help they need to get back on the feet. So the Senate Republicans don't want to act, they don't want to protect New York City or any place else. But you know what, literally, with a snap of his fingers, Donald Trump could fix that. If he would just say

the word, the Senate would jump. What a liar, I mean, just what a scummy, slimy lie. This guy's gross. He's really bad news. I mean, he's a bad person. It's not somebody that not somebody that I respect at all. It's not like I disagree with him, but I think he's a good guy. And there are Democrats, plenty of them that I would I would take that position. I think they're wrong, but I think that they're fundamentally decent people. They're just confused. De Blasio is just it's just gross.

And here while we know what the problem is that we're trying to deal with right now, First of all, Congress isn't even a session. Nancy Pelosi thinks that they should be on an extended vacation right now, extended recess, while the country is in this horrible circumstance. And okay, well that's happening. We're trying to find out how much more money is needed for the Paycheck Protection Program? Who is standing in the way Democrats? Democrats are standing in

the way. Here here's Mitch McConnell giving an update on the PPP. Maybe we should just start calling it the three P play six. It's now been four days since Paycheck Protection Program ran out of money. Republicans have been trying to secure more funding for the squarical program for a week and a half. Now at this hour, our Democratic colleagues are still prolonging their discussions with the administration, so the Senate regretfully will not be able to pass

more funding for Americans paychecks today. However, since this is so urgent, I asked at the Senate meet again tomorrow in a new session that was not previously scheduled, and the Democratic leader has agreed to by request, colleagues, it's pastime, past time to get this done for the country. It is absolutely past time to get it done. And why isn't it getting done Because Democrats like Pelosi do not have their feet held to the fire over this by

the media. Democrats don't have to worry about getting pummeled in the national press for standing in the way. They they don't have to worry about that and that is what they're doing. That is what they're currently doing. It's it's really remarkable. It's really remarkable to see how much dishonesty there is around all of this. I mean, here we go, we got an update on this hold on. That's what I was looking for. Schumer says deal reached on aid for businesses hopes for a Senate vote today. Okay,

we have a deal and we'll pass it today. The Democrat told CNN he's a few ice to dot teas to cross. Okay, well, here's what it says. The Butterfield said it would include three hundred and ten billion for small business, a top priory for Republicans the PPP. The program would program would now include small banks, credit unions, and nonprofits, top party for Democrats for predisting relationships with the banks, the large banks. If then, okay, here we go.

Butterfield said that healthcare would get one hundred billion dollars, split between seventy five billion for hospitals, including some for rural ones, and twenty five billion dollars for testing. Another they're fifty billion dollars we go to the Small Business Administration's Economic Injury Disaster Loan Program MY friends, we are spending I mean, look, I know that we need this for businesses because we've set this up, but we also have to remember what we are spending money here at

a rate that is just mind blowing. We're spending one hundred billion, like the government used to spend a billion. I mean, we're just we're just you know, here you go one hundred billion for this, one hundred billion, for that, ten billion here, fifty billion there, fifty one hundred billion dollars, a lot of money even for the government. That's a lot of money. But you remember, couldn't get three billion dollars for a wall when the economy was booming. Couldn't

get that. No, no, that was that was way too much money. But now we're spending hundreds and one hundreds of billion dollars. Hopefully this will will work better for the PPP than it has. I mean, thus far it has been. It's been really disappointing as a program. I mean, we need to be honest about that. We need to be honest in our assessments about how all this is going. So oh, by the way, here that Kim Jong un is in bad shape. Talk about a story that would

have gotten a lot more attention. If the world wasn't in meltdown. Let's let's dig into that for a second. You're in the Freedom Hunt. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. All right, the dictator of North Korea, it's

having a rough one from what we understand here. I know all of this are like great guys, the worst, But if he were to expire, there's a lot of a lot of stuff would happened at a time when the world is certainly not really prepared to deal with any more than it already is, including the United States government. Here's a story up on Fox News. The US government has extensive contingency plans in place for an eventual death of North Korean leader Kim Jong un that factor in

expectations of mass scale humanitarian crisis inside the country. Sources discuss those plans amid conflicting reports about the reclusive North Korean leader's health. Those same sources urged caution about these reports, which have claimed he's facing serious health issues after a cardiovascular procedure. Whether while his condition is unclear, A well placed defense intelligence source told Fox News that the US government has extensive plans that dealing with the complications that

could arise from his death. The official described the likelihood of a huge humanitarian crisis within North Korea that could include millions of people facing starvation and a mass exodus of North Korean reputees into China. Intelligence sources told Fox News that part of the plan would be to rely heavily on China to step in and help manage the situation on the ground inside North Korea, partly due to China's proximity and partly due to logistical challenges of the

US providing humanitarian assistance. So what have we been told? The North Korean I'm sorry. The Daily NK, which is a periodical based in South Korea. Soul, which is run by North Korean defectors, reported that Kim, who was only thirty six, was recovering from his April twelfth surgery. The report said he had been in bad health because of heavy smoking, obesity, and overwork. North South Korean officials downplay these reports. So, look, we don't know. They're saying. It

could be a totally untrue. There's no specific trend here. We don't know. They don't know, you know, early stage, but oh, I thank you know, Kim Jong owen, if he were to expire. That would create a whole bunch of issues. I'm not even sure what the what the succession plan would be in North Korea. I can promise see this right now. All the journalists were reporting is they have no idea. It was like, oh my gosh,

there'd be a catastrophe. They don't understand what that means other than that's the thing you have to say right now. But the world would not not do well to we're not not do well rather than the circumstances and trying to capitalize on the possibility of flipping North Korea from the totalitarian hell hole it is to something a whole heck of a lot better, given that we're all focused on our own stuff right now. Wait, we do not have the bandwidth to take on any additional challenges outside

our own AO. But yeah, that's the story on Kim Jong Owen. It got a lot of attention last night. I wanted to mention it here. It could be it could be a non story. I mean, it could be essentially fake fake news. So there we have it. There we have it. I also want to talk about the testing situation a little bit more, because there's going to be so much arguing about this. Let's understand that right now, there is no way, there is no way that Democrats

are ever going to say that testing is acceptable. And because this is going to be blamed back, they're going to reflect this back onto the federal government. Right That's the plan to make sure that this is Trump's fault no matter what. Here is the governor New York. Governor Cuomo who is saying the following Play twelve just tweeted that the testing is up to the states, not up to the federal government. Just a quick reaction on that.

And also, is the state capable of doing the type of testing it needs to be doing in order to not only identify who has the disease, but who has had the disease? The President is right the states. Testing is up to the states, which will implement the tests and logistically coordinate the tests. For example, in this state, I should make the determinations as to what labs participate in testing. We have about three hundred labs in New York. It's my job to coordinate those three hundred labs. Which

one should do this, which one should not. How do I decide what labs work where they're regulated by the states? For his lafts. Do you think that they're gonna be able to figure this out quickly? Do you think that this testing testing regiment is going to be a smooth situation, it's going to work out? Well, Nope, nope. But remember, even though it is up to the states, and you've been told this by the government New York, who will get blamed for any problems with testing in any state?

The president. The political incentives here for the left are so clear. We know what they're going to do before they're going to do it. But there are a lot of people that don't pay as much attention to what's going on as you do. And guess what they can be swayed by this? Oh well, if you know the president is really responsible, that seems kind of reckless, doesn't

It seems like he's done a bad thing. Meanwhile, Vice President Pence, who has done i think an excellent job so far coordinating in this crisis but also being a voice of calm, which matters at some level, Right, It matters to have somebody up there who doesn't seem like they're trying to score cheap points, who just wants to help people, wants to do things the right way. And use his power to do so. There's Pence on the

testing issue for states Play eleven. We told governors once again today that by our best estimates, we have enough testing capacity today for every state in America to go to Phase one if they meet the other criteria of fourteen days of reduced cases and sufficient hospital capacity to prepare for any eventuality that may occur. Once again, we have enough testing capacity for every state in America to

go to Phase one. But we assure the governors today that we're going to continue to work around the clock to expand the testing capacity, support supplies, and to support their efforts to encourage social distancing and the very mitigation efforts that the American people have been doing that have brought us the progress that we see all across the country today. So enough test for every state to go to Phase one. But remember phase one is a dynamic targetance.

You get into phase one, you could have more cases and you could have to revert out of it, right, you could have to take a more extreme position, so and then it's phase one of reopening. That's where we are. Pence is telling you the truth. Thanks for listening to the Bus Sesson Show podcast. Remember to subscribe on Apple Podcasts, the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts. All right, Team Box special treat for all of you today. The

man himself, Ted Nugent joins us. He is a rock superstar. He is also an avid outdoorsman, best selling author, all around freedom spreader and lover of a good old us of a mister Ted Nugent, Sir, thank you well, thank you bunking a happy springing time to everybody in spiting this crazy, crazy world we're living. Him. Yeah, let's let's because I have so much I want to ask you about, and you're very kind to give us your time to

philosophize a little bit about freedom. But first, let me just get your take on what are we doing right now as a country. I mean, we have people being told that they can't go into a playground with their wife and kid with no one else around. We're being told that you can't go to a drive in church, you can't go to beaches, although they're starting to change that now. What happened? I thought I thought we were the you know, give me liberty or give me death people,

or at least don't tread on me. Doesn't feel like that's the way a lot of the government's treating us these days. Well you smell like truth, logic and common sense, just like me, Buck, Then let me tell you. Yeah, these are uncharted territories we're plunging into right now. But there's always going to be good, bad, and ugly, and I like to focus on the good. And there's unlimited

good to be focused on. Sure, there's a bunch of freaks out there that are violating their oath to the constitution, forbidding people to go fishing, forbidding people to plant gardens. I mean, it really is like Planet of the Apes Cuckoo's Nest time. So those guilty parties know who they are. But the good is that I have a whole bunch

of buddies, a bunch of ranchers and farmers. I got military buddies, law enforcement, first responders, teachers, you know, the doctors and the nurses, and those of us that learned to be prepared and live the boy Scout mantra of being prepared. We have always been cocked, locked and ready to rock the glock dock. And we're helping those people who were dumbed down. And will you know, the new national anthem for a segment of society is man man

and it breaks my heart. But again that's the bad and ugly and the good I believe is now manifesting itself in these protests where we the people are experimenting in self individual government and we're raised in hell with elected employees who have tread on us. So I don't just see a light at the end of the tunnel.

I see a glaring You know, I singer every day of my life because I surrounded my band, my crew, my wife, my kids, my grandkids, my management, everybody in my life is so in the asset column that we will help those who have decided to be in the liability column. But I really believe there's a bunch of positive that we can cling to, primarily that divine intervention brought there's great non presidential, non politician to the commander

in chief Helm. So I'm feeling I don't know if you've noticed, but I'm feeling pretty good about the whole thing, in spite of the oath violations, the abuse of power, and the runaway corruption that is so glaringly identifiable now. So I think even the fence sitters are waking up that you're not allowed to sit on the fence, you

have to defend the fence. Do you think that there's not only a change in the perception about one's individual preparation that's not necessary, but also are we going to see a whole lot more people really appreciate You know, there's a lot of the America bumper sticker stuff you see out there. Right. Freedom isn't free. And people who serve in the military, for example, they know what that means that a very deep and important level. But you know, a lot of us coming, you know, don't trut on

me to gas and flags and all this. Is there going to be a renewal of that emotional, spiritual bond between millions of Americans and what individual rights and freedom means as a result of some of the some of the craziness that we were just talking about before. You know, I'm the eternal optimist, and I hope and pray that that prognosis is accurate. It comes to fruition. That being said, again,

everybody I know is in the asset column. Everybody I know works their ass off to be productive and to be a benefit to their family and neighborhood and country. God family, country. Boy. That's radical. So I'm not so sure that the dumbing down of America. I mean, how do you not have enough toilet paper for a hurricane or a snowstorm or of ice? I mean, how do people get that? So we are responsible again that sheep battle cry that I just, you know, painfully shared with

you a moment ago. Yes, they're gonna wake up. I'm not sure how quick. But more importantly than that book is, I'm gonna I'm gonna really scold my fellow patriots. Those that believe in God, family, and country didn't vote in Michigan and they allowed Hillary Clinton to become governor. For those that are unsure themselves, that would be Gretchen Whitmer, who is Hillary Clinton. So I would like to think that we should just focus on the constitutionalist amongst us.

And here's the battle cry, vote damn it. Don't let the liberals win by, you know, organizing their voting blocks better than we do. But we have a hunt the vote dot org, Hunt the vote dot org. What we did in Michigan was constin in Pennsylvania, we finally galvanized what I think is the ultimate conservative voting block in America and those are licensed hunters and fishermen and trappers

and outdoors and conservationists that traditionally do not vote. I don't know if it's because it's the rut during November in their inneritrey stand, but embarrassingly and unforgivably, that huge army of conservative voters don't show up at the polls. So at Hunt the Vote dot Org, we are galvanizing those people like we did in Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania in

twenty sixteen, the top hunting states in the nation. And that may sound confusing to sell people out there, but mark my words, there are tens of millions of hunting families in this country that don't vote, and then they show up in protest because the enemy got into the office of governor in Michigan. And that's damage control instead of just voting God, family, and country as quality control.

So I'm for that that untapped army that already agrees with the truth, logic and common sense that you live by, that I live by. That they'll finally wield the ultimate weapon in the history of freedom, and that's the vote in America. What is the Ted Nugon assessment of the opponent for Donald Trump right now, Joe Biden, have you been seeing some of the bidenisms, which is I think the pleasant way that we refer to them. Have you

seen some of this stuff? I mean, I'm trying to work on Biden personation that doesn't just sound like a ripoff of mister McGoo. But then I realize it's going to sound something like that because he does seem somewhat confused. Again, I don't think liberals are the same species as you and I. They like they're allergic to truth, logic, common sense and the evidence that is otherwise inescapable. Just examine

the history of abusive power by Joe Biden. I mean from the credit card scams, who is the unter Biden scams? And you mean just a lifetime of rip off and deceit and abusive power. And then watch him struggle to form a sentence and people actually go ask my guy, Yeah, I want him to be the commander in chief. To me, I mean, this is like an uptake of a bad Saturday Life spoof on just how stupid people can be.

So again, I know that that ignorance and that apathy and that stupidity exists, but I hope the people that are not stupid and are not ignorant of how we got to this experiment self government. I just you vote out there, go to hunt the vote dot org, and let's make sure all conservatives are registered and we vote God, family, country, Constitution, freedom. Duh. Yeah. Now, how do you think the Trumpster has done so far? Game? Look, right now, he's in the midst of the most challenging

government situation for any president. I think it's pretty fair to say since World War Two. I don't think anything really, because you've got the infection, the virus and the loss of life and all the fear and the panic, and you also have the essentially induced depression, right. I mean, this is an oppression that the government has walked us into it said, don't worry, we'll pull you out of it. Well,

we'll see. But how has Trump done up to and including this challenge in your mind based on what the promise was from the campaign. But you know, you're one of the few I don't know if you like the term celebrity, but you're a celebrity. You're one of the few celebrities that has been supporting this guy from the beginning and still supports them all the way through. So you've obviously seen a lot of the crazy on the

other side. How do you think Trump is doing well, let me put it this way, and I think be examined my following sentence that the evidence will gag you. Donald Trump is as close to ted nu as you'll ever get in politics. He knows he's on the right course.

He knows about logistics and responsibility an accountability. He knows about the Constitution, that it's a god given guarantee of God given individual rights that are founding fathers wrote down because we didn't believe in kings and emperors and despots and slave drivers. Even though we had to get over that embarrassing, horrific chapter. So my card, my, what do you call it when you get a rating in school? I don't remember that. I wasn't made attention before card.

I never went to too busy learning stuff. Yeah, when you give Trump or raiding, I give him an a plus just because if you're driving such clear and present idiots that crazy, that's gold in my world. I mean, I do not intentionally drive idiots crazy, but I just stand up for truth, logic, common sense against self evident truth. You know that I have the right to choose my own religion. I have the right to have privacy in my home. I get to keep and bear arms, not

just the king and his henchman, punks, etc. Etc. So I give President Trump an A to a plus just for the fact that he is going into uncharted territory. He's like Lewis and Clark of politics right now, with this pandemic and the abuse of the media, that the unbridled dishonesty and hate from the left. I mean, I deal with it. They call me a pedophile, they call me a draft dodger, They claim I the Native Americans, lies, lies, lies, because they can't debate me. They are incapable of debating me.

And all I have to do is google my different debates and watch me eat the face of the idiots to try to tell me that my truth, logic, and common sense ain't accurate. So I love President Trump and his team. I think he is burdened by some of the excess baggage of past administrations, but he's deshackling that

at a real rapid pace. And I pray for the man every day and his family, And I think he was sent here as a non politician to represent we the people more accurately than any administration I can remember. We are in a dark time right now as a country because of this pandemic. But you're a guy who seems to be able to find the optimism and things, seem to find the silver lining pretty easily, and certainly have a spiritual and psychological resilience in the face of

all this. So what are you going to say to people right now that are really worried that America is never going to be the same. Well, it just may sound selfish, but it's just a big campfire that I'm humbled and honored to share every day. But go to my Facebook and listen to the millions of people who just reek of goodwill, decency, work, ethic drive to be the best that they can be. This country is wall to wall spiritual samurai producers. I know these truck drivers,

and I know these ranchers. I know these beef producers, and I know these agricultures. Ares my god, They're alarm clock goes off earlier than anybody's and they go to bed later than anybody. Those are my people. I call them blood brothers, and I share hunting campfires with them every year because We donate hunts with uncle Ted because I'm so much fun and valuable for different military and

children's charities. And I hang out with the most dedicated, down to earth, grounded, smart, dedicated We the people working hard, playing hard families who donate a lot of money to these charities just to hang out with me and get some backstraps around the campfire. So I know the heart and soul of every strata of the human experience. I

get a call every month buck from Marcus Latreelle. I speak with Rob O'Neill and Garry O'Neill, the author of an American Warrior, Bob Levins, who served like twelve years in Vietnam, and a bunch of I actually shared a campfire buck with a survival of the Baton Death March and guys that were at Normandy and Iwashima. These guys think of this book, How can my haters and critics possibly deter me when I am sought out by that that heroic level of humanity seek out uncle Ted because

they hear me promoting a Second Amendment, unapologetic and unbridled. Well, if they hear me promote conservation and hunting God family, and they find me, they find me somehow, and then they come and share a campfire with me, and I milk their knowledge and their heartship heartbreaks, and their hardships in battle. And I didn't serve officially in the military, but you know what I got behind me and on the mantel over here, I got a bunch of purple hearts,

buck stop. And think that I didn't earn them. I tried to resist. But when a marine or a Navy seal puts a purple heart in your hand and says, I want you to have this, And over a more than twenty year, forty years, they have given me these purple hearts, and none of them knew each other, and they all said the same thing. I want you to take this, uncle ted, because you fight every day for what my buddies died for. They all sit almost like it was scripted, but it isn't scripted, because it's burned

in their soul. And they know that I'm the only artist, the only celebrity, even though I'm just a deer hunter that gets in the media and promotes God, family, country, freedom, the Constitution to build a rights, the Declaration have been dependent the tent Tom Manage the Golden Rule, you know, all that really radical stuff. And so these old heroes seek out the goofy guitar player and give me their purple heart. And I'm supposed to listen to criticism from

Michael Moore, who still hasn't discovered personal hygiene. I mean, my cocky factor is off the charts because of those guys. So there's a lot more that I had to say. With Ted NuGen, we really got into a whole bunch of stuff, including Hunting makes a great bow hunter. If Ted could play in any band or with any group or individual musician in history, who would it be. We

had a great talk when almost an hour. We're going to release all of that as a podcast, so just make sure you listen, and we're going to release that on Thursday, so make sure you're ready for it. Subscribe now, it'll drop into your box. You can listen to it this weekend. Ted's a great guy. We had a lot of fun. Subscribe on Spotify, an Apple podcast wherever you listen to podcasts, the iHeart app and it'll be out on Thursday. You're in the Freedom Hunt. This is the

Buck Sexton Show podcast. You have not seen the final text of this bill. But what I can say is that if it matches up with what has been reported, I will not support this bill. Personally. I'm not speaking for not speaking for a delegation, I'm speaking for anybody, but as the person who's representing the most impacted district

in the country, my constituents are upset. My constituents were upset about the first package because it is insulting to think that we can pass such a small amount of money in the context of not knowing when Congress is even going to reconvene and pass such a small amount of money, pat ourselves on the back, and then leave

town again. I am not here to support that. Yeah, like she doesn't want like the stuff that's not enough money to happen because she's too busy quote saying that she or this is the quote coming up that she quote loves to see it with the plummeting price of oil and the devastation that the oil industry is going through right now. Remember she has an economics degree from bu and she won a very fancy prize for a science fair when she was in high school, So she

totally knows stuff and is like really smart. Probably the most social media, famous Democrat politician in the country right now. I mean just you know is able to do these live streams, these stream of consciousness and just just share

all these thoughts. And you know, the left is fascinating to me because they will hold up people like AOC and Biden who aren't very bright, aren't very impressive, don't really know anything, and these are there, these are there suggested leaders for us, and then they turn around and look at us like, how could you support Trump? We want to put the we want to put great leaders who are super smart forward. We're looking at them like,

are you guys out of your minds? You're you're really gonna You're gonna shuffle old man Biden in front of us and think that this is inspiring. You're gonna have us take economic advice from you know cha Givara super fan AOC? Really you think so? Thanks for listening to the Bus and show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple Podcasts, the iHeart Radio app, or wherever you get your podcasts

roll call time. But first, I just want to put out there to the audience that I told producer Mark that maybe I could start doing some hip hop hip hop rhymes for our sponsors and offer that up for some of our what we call live reads in the radio business. And producer Mark did not think that this would go over well. I just want to say, I'm not sure I agree with you, Producer Mark, how could you not agree? Have you heard yourself rap? Maybe that's what it is? No, But how would I know if

I'm good? If I don't try, I can assure you you're not good. You know, you know team he doesn't have the faith. You know, he just doesn't have the faith. I feel like i'd probably, I think I'd be better than one would expect. And also want to remind everybody please go to Bucksexton dot com today and check out. We've got stories up all. We got a story on Tom Cotton and talking about China. We've got my analysis of the New York City subway system and how this

But isn't there still I don't think the iTunes store exists anymore, Like you can't just purchase a song. I mean I still have iTunes on my phone. No you don't, don't. I that's Apple Music.

We're talking about how life is changing because of this, what we're learning about life, and what life will be like

going forward in the era of the pandemic. He's a very big think kind of guy, and I think we'll have a really great commer and I think we'll have a really great conversation with him. And don't forget the YouTube channel where all of this will also be Producer Mark, where will How does one find the YouTube channel? Oh, you go to YouTube dot com. Slash Buck Sexton. Listen this guy. We gotta get this guy to start doing some live reads, you know, laid it down here. I

He's better than everyone except for Rush. No, I'll take it. I'll take it. I can't tell say you're better than Rushi yet, so I don't even say I'm better than exactly. I mean, come on, it's like it's like you come into the NBA, you say you're better than Jordan. It's like, whoa, whoa, come on, come on,

let me ask you this. Have you seen the Michael Jordan? Because we're I believe we're also gonna have Clay Clay Travis on, so I mean we just rack and stack amazing guests these days. Clay Travis later on the week to talk to us about the Jordan documentary. Have you seen it? Yes? Parts one and two came out Sunday on ESPN. It was fantastic. Everything is advertising. Was supposed to come out, I believe in July, but because of the pandemic and no live sports, they moved it up

to April and it was a dream come true. The highest rated documentary ever in ESPN history. Over six million people watch your Live Wow, which is insane for a not live sporting event on ESPN. Yeah, I mean, I do feel like I did watch a lot of basketball. I'm tell you the truth. Proucer Mark, I watched a lot of basketball, probably from age ten till about you know, college, so maybe there's about an eight year span there or so.

Or I watched the NBA and I saw I was watching the NBA, and then I was also playing basketball video games, which reinforced you know, you really got to know, you know, if you play enough sports video games, you know, like the deep bench players that you know, you really you really learn a lot about about the different rosters and the teams and everything else. And you know, the games got more and more sophisticated so that they had

a pretty good representation of the players. But I the era when Michael Jordan was on the Bulls, I think you'd have to say, I think for most of us that was probably the single greatest and within my lifetime at least, the single greatest period in the NBA. I think in all time, I mean six championships in what eight years or nine years? Two three peats that they're the best team ever. Nobody will ever beat them. Yeah, I remember the Knicks were kind of the scrappy, tough

guy team. And they they tried to take the Bulls down a number of times in the Jordan era and it just never had almost won the year that Jordan was playing baseball. Yeah, it just never happened. You know, Patrick Ewing, I know he's a great player, but I watched a lot of I always remember the Sports announced she was always Patrick Ewing every time you would score. That's because I went to the Garden a number of times to see it. And this is back in the day.

Do you remember the Bomb Squad or just way too early for you with Trent Tucker and who's the guy I'm forgetting his name right now, Joe John Starks and Trent Tucker tea. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that that that in Charles Oakley and an Anthony Mason, And I mean I remember that era on the Knicks. They never had a true superstar, but they had a lot of grit, you know, they had a lot of fight, and Patrick Ewing was the closest thing they had to a superstar and he

just never really got a superstar. Yeah. I mean, you put that team in a different era where Michael Jordan and the Bulls don't exist, they win championships. I don't know, It just always felt like, if you're a seven footer, you're you're a marquee move shouldn't be a fadeaway jump shot. I'm just gonna say it. You haven't watched the NBA recently, now that's normal, guy, That is true. I did see shooting. Look I went to see Thankfully, I got it in

before the you know, sporting events are closed. I did go see one Knicks game in twenty nineteen, and I gotta tell you, it was like it was like a jump shooting exposition. Just everyone just take it. But like these guys are seven feet tall and can shoot. It's like if it used to be if you were a seven footer and you could hit a free throw. Everyone was like, wow, look at that guy. You remember shock

at the free throw line back in the shack. It was like, you know, you like picked up a ball in one hand and kind of threw it toward the rim. You know, he got more of a touch as he as he moved along, but he started out. I think he was like a fifty percent free throw shooter, which in the NBA is like unheard of. He definitely less than that. It was less than that. It was like thirty or forty percent. I would have to look. But

he was awful. Yeah, he was an awful free but it was like, well he's amazing and seven feet tall and can dunk every three seconds and no one cared. Now you have these guys who are I mean, you know who's the guy I mean, I just actually saw him play. They call him the Greek Um. I can't remember his last time. Yeah, Giannis. Yeah, and it's dot Stop Boblis or something, right, I mean, but Giannis, that guy's like seven feet seven feet tall and plays like

a two guard would have in the in the nineties. Yeah, he has comparisons to Magic Johnson, who was also like six ten but played point guard. Yeah. Yeah, So anyway, it is it is a change game in that regard. But we'll have Clay Travis on and you know, also, I want to see if producer Mark has any has a question or two for Clay Travis. We'll see if he wants to ask him something. Well, the guests can't hear me. That's the only problem. Buck. Yeah, well you can feed it to me and I'll I'll say this

is coming from producer Mark whisper in your ear. I'm a very yeah, whispering into my ear like you like you do when we actually have a show to do, Like, hey, Buck, you gotta do the show. I'm like, I'm watching Netflix. Mark's like, hey, you gotta do your show. I'm like, oh, okay, fine, all right. Stephen, Hello, sir, Hello sir to you. I hope you and those dear to you or keeping well and stand happy and healthy. I see you often on Fox News Channel. I've heard you on radio for years.

Glad you now have your own well deserved show. I'm impressed by you on so many levels. I don't mean to sound obsequious. You are areudite, eloquent, edifying, encouraging, and enlightening. I love literations. I cheer you on as God continues to use you in mighty ways. My prayers go out to you and yours well. Stephen. That is very, very kind, and I mean this. I mean this from the bottom of my heart. They actually just made my day. That was like the nicest thing anyone said about me in

a long time. And it's meaningful. And I try to do the absolute best show I can for this audience every day, and it is you know, it is what keeps me going right. Now doing this show the best job that I can. I mean, I'm either doing radio or preparing for radio, or sleeping or eating a little too much. But those are the things that is my

life right now. There is nothing else. So I'm trying to do every day, bring the most I can so that when you all tune in and listen, your time is well spent and you're getting a lot out of it. But also, you know, we ring that connection, that's that sense of we are we are in the hut together, you know. That's why we've always called this a freedom hut.

It's a It's been a very big hut. Considering we're now in one hundred and sixty stations and all I think we're all on and pretty much in all fifty states. There might be a couple of states where we're not on a station officially, but we're close to it. Chess In, mister Buck, Captain Harris Swoop Sexton, it's been a while, but still listening anyway, listen to Biden's latest rattling interview and beginning to wonder if the dams are going to

pull some kind of weekend at Bernie situation. Weekend at Biden's situation chess in. I mean, this is what I've I've taken the approach of talking about you know, el Sid the similar idea. I mean, they're just Biden is just the name. Biden is the vessel for the Democratic Party to defeat Trump. No one's expecting Biden to be impressive, no one's expecting him to do much of anything. He just has to show up and Democrats are going to do the rest for him. That that's the point. That's

the whole purpose of this. And I don't know if they'll be able to pull it off or not. I mean, there's a recent I think nationally Biden's up a few points on Trump, and a recent poll I saw, but in the battleground states, Trump is up, and as we know, the battleground states are what really matters. So yeah, yeah, it's gonna be close. My friends, it's gonna be a close election. Telling you right now, we're gonna it's gonna be a late night. We're in the freedom of We're

gonna be able late on election night. Dave Buck, my son and husband, live in NYC. He is a manager at Facebook and his husband is a commercial pilot. They love living in the city, but after doing their state and city taxes are moving to Texas as soon as they can. What will it take for the state and city government to stop driving young professionals away, Dave, They're just it's just not worth it, man, for people to

be here. It's just not worth it in terms of the taxes and the cost of living and everything else. It's fine in your twenties if you're gonna if you're gonna being of basketball, go hard and paint, you know, if you're going to really get after it, and if you're going to be a single person that spends too much money on food and enjoys the nightlife here and is engaged in a lot of that activity, then you

could justify being here for a while. But to raise a family here and to build any real wealth for one's family, I don't mean to be rich. I just mean to build financial stability, very very tough here. I mean the entry level in Manhattan, at least the entry level. And this is also true in a lot of parts of Brooklyn, probably even some parts of Queen's now too. That you know, one bedroom apartments go for well over

a million dollars for a one bedroom apartment. Think about that a lot of you are living in a three or four bedroom house, plenty of space. Maybe you've got an acre or two. And that house is not costing a million dollars, right, I mean we all know, in a million dollars in most of the country get you a big, big ass house, right, Producer Mark. I mean not. Unfortunately, in New Jersey, even in striking distance of New York, it's not gonna get you a big ass house. But

you can get a house. Yeah, you can get a house here for a lot less. And you can get a one bedroom apartment in Manhattan, but it's still high taxes, still expensive. I was looking just for kicks last night. I was bored. Houses in Florida. Oh my god, they're so cheap. Yeah, I know, man, great, I did the Freedom Hunt. You know it may we may uh maybe a whole I've got some moving boxes left. You know, we end up going down to Florida and uh be very nice. You know, no state income tax. I think

about that every year. What that's like. Yeah, I look, I think New York I I it hurts me to say it because I lived here during the real, the real glory days of the city when it was the safest that ever was the most beautiful, the most look.

It's been through a lot, obviously nine to eleven and now this, but I'm talking about and there was a there was a period there in between, really from about two thousand and three, two thousand and four until now, the city was really on it on just this, this unbelievably happy trajectory for a long time, getting just better and better, safer and safer, more, just amazing food and

activities and restaurants and development and growth. But I think now a lot of there's an article in the Wall Street Jurnal today is saying a lot of people are leaving and they're not coming back. They're not coming back, They're gonna move somewhere else. So that's why when I'm when I'm giving like shout outs all over there, I'm like, what's up? What's up? KLBJ Austin, what's up? Ninety three point seven FM in Denver, what's up? You know? Just go down all of our stations. What's up? Sandy, Oh?

San Diego? Oh San Diego? That would be okay. I mean, it's California taxes the only but I love. So let's go to the one place in the world that's more expensive than Yeah, I know that's the problem. We love. I love San Diego. I don't know. Maybe well, maybe someone in Team Buck has like a you know, a guesthouse by the beach that they don't use very much. They could let us like set up shop for a little bit, you know what I mean, just just for a little while, just to see how it goes. We'll

do it for like a month, yeah or four? All right, more roll call coming. You're in the Freedom, hud. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. All right, hey, Buck, listening from here we go? It just comes up. I didn't even set this up this way from Freedom ninety three point seven in Denver, Colorado. I also use iHeart or your podcast when I'm on the road. Great, great, great interview with Jack Carr. Thanks for a little bit

of diversion in these strange times. I'll be buying all three of his books and looking forward to the TV series. Been looking forward to a worthy successor to Vince Flynn. No offense to Kyle Mills, but Vince's plots and characters were his, not Kyle's. Keep up yours, keep up your awesome show. There we go, Buck the English. Hello to producer Mark. Delray Beach is a great place. I've had family their since nineteen ten. Stay safe and s shields high. Yeah.

I've only been a Delray Beach once for one night. I was on a had a you know, I was there with a date and we went to a dinner and I just love I mean just walked around. I just love that place. I just loved it. It was great. So and Producer Mark likes it too. I do. That's an option. I spent the same amount of time there and I loved it. To Lula, stop that. Sorry, guys. I know you're here in a little bit of behind the scenes here, but Tallula is trying to dig a

hole in my couch. You naughty little frenchy. I'm gonna make you wear a beret. She hates Producer Mark. She hates hats. She's fine with sweaters. We have fancy little sweaters for because you know she's a Manhattan dog. But if you put a hat on her head, she will just she'll like do summer salts until it comes off like she absolutely hates it. So that's one way to get her to that's right, a little French beret. So all the other dogs, all the other American dogs, and

make fun of you. All right, let's see Ian, Hello Buckman, thanks for keeping the Freedom Hut safe and warm. But of course, but of course, messieurs. You know, I was wondering what kind of impact the global shutdown we'll have on the environment. I eat positive climate change. I think you'd be rather comical if the environment benefits greatly. And that's the reason libs start backing off the twelve of your doomsday calendar. Shield Tide, brother man. Hey, Ian, I

mean unfortunate. I mean I hear what you're saying, and yeah, there's a lot less pollution. I mean, I'll tell you this. The air in New York City right now. You open the window and oh, it's like you're on a camping trip. It's crisp, it's clear, there's I had never had this experience before, being in the middle of Manhattan. But without all the without all the car fumes, and remember that's carbon monoxide that cars are put in the air. It's

not just the carbon dioxide. There's actually really bad stuff. The air is so much cleaner, it's it's nice. But no, they're never going to turn the doomsday clock back because they want to control your life and they don't care what the facts are and all the rest of it. Dean, right, the Freedom Hut Quarantine cookbook. Do it, Buck Sexton, I'll buy a twelve pack for Christmas gifts pre paid. It's getting a lot of likes, Deane. I'll think about it.
