No Unity For Joe Biden

phone call. Try doing that sometimes. No, Welcome my friends to the buck Sexton Show. Joe Biden taking a victory lap yesterday because the Electoral College has certified his win and we have to take stock of where we are right now in response to this, and I think that everyone needs to understand there's going to be a lot of frustration here. There's going to be a lot of

agitation because, yes, we know there was fraud. Yes we know that the Democrats stack the deck in their favor with the elimination of anti fraud safeguards using COVID nineteen as an excuse. But the process is continuing on and with each passing week. Now it's favoring Joe Biden. That's

just an objective reality that we're dealing with. Is there the possibility that there will be some last minute case, that something will come up that we'll be able to finally prove definitively that there was systematic and intentional fraud, the kind of proof that even a weak will, even a cowardly judge would have to say, for fear of shaming his profession or her profession, would have to say, Yes, you're correct, this is fraud. We cannot certify the results

in these states. Yes, it is possible. Is it likely? I think you all know the answer to that. Joe Biden now is feeling like he is inevitable that this is over, this is done with. We can continue, you know that old you can walk and chew gum. At the same time, we can continue to look for that fraud. We can dive into the Antrim County autopsy report from the voting machines, right the deep dive that they did. I read it last night. I'm curious to see what's going to be done with it. I'm sure the DOJ

is aware of it. I'm sure that this is being looked at. Now, being looked at is not the same thing as action taken on. But I believe that there are people who are going to read this thing and take a look at whether or not it changes the certification in a place like Michigan. But we have to look at that and also understand that Joe Biden is preparing for his administration at this point, and this is likely what we are going to face. And I understand there's going to be heat that I get for this.

I understand that people don't want to hear this, but I always tell you that I will speak the truth to you as I see it, and I believe that this is the objective truth right now. It is a future, It is an issue of the future. It is a prediction in a sense. Right the future has not happened yet. To borrow from the Terminator films, the future is not

yet set. But we need to understand what the reality of the numbers tells us right now and prepare accordingly, including making sure that we focus on the race right ahead of us here in George, because a Biden administration with the House and the Senate in Democrat control is a very different thing than a Biden administration with divided Congress.

With a divided Congress they're going to have to prop up this really buffoonish, clownish and yes corrupt fellow, and spend a tremendous amount of time and energy and resources just to make sure the American people don't see for themselves this is the clown that we've elected. Really this guy. Now, I know a lot of you would say you didn't elect him, but if he becomes president, then he is technically the guy. And so we look at this now and we say, what could we do in preparation, what

could we do to get ready for this? Well, I can tell you this much. A lot of what they were saying about Trump will be true or would be true about a Biden administration. A lot of it would be accurate. For example, when they talked about state media under Trump, they would say this, they really would only say this as a knock on Fox News. And I was consistent in pointing out that state media would indicate that there's only really one acceptable media point of view.

I mean true state media. Some places have a government, a kind of quasi government or government Oregon, but usually if there's an actual state media apparatus, the opposition is at a minimum tiny, right, the opposition is small in

this country. We had the opposite. We had ninety five percent of journos out there, ninety five percent of them anti the administration, and they advanced their careers despite what they said, despite what Jim Acosta would pretend when you go to the White House, you know, they were not doing the journalistic equivalent of storming the beaches of Normandy. They were advancing their careers, they were becoming more famous,

they were fattening their paychecks. So in no way, whatsoever, in no way do we see this now and have any reason to believe that Joe Biden will be anything other than absolutely coddled and propped up and assisted by the media. That's what's going to happen. And you're going to hear a lot of empty rhetoric from Biden himself but also from the people around him, because this is going to be the most incredible emperor has no closed

situation you've ever seen. The emperor is too old, he's incompetent, and he's corrupt. But they're going to tell you that this is great. There's gonna be this amazing restoration of America that happens. You know, that's a fraud. You know, that's not true. The amount of lies that you are likely to be told in the next ninety days alone will surpass anything you've ever seen before, because now the media doesn't even really pretend there's no objectivity. They picked

a team. He's their team. This is what they're going to do. And here's what Biden was saying yesterday. On the one hand, calling for unity, calling to bring us all together, and then trashing Trump play eighteen. By his own standards, these numbers represented a clear victory then, and I respectfully suggest they do so now. If anyone didn't

know before, they know now. What beats deep in the hearts of the American people is this democracy, the right to be heard, to have your vote counted, to choose leaders of this nation, to govern ourselves in America. Politicians don't take power. People grant power to them. The flame of democracy was lit in this nation a long time ago, and we now know nothing, not even a pandemic or an abusive power, can extinguish that flame. An abusive power.

What was the abusive power again? Bringing lawsuits something that they did endlessly and bad faith against Trump to slow him down. But now the courts are bad. Understand that We are not only going into a post journalism area with the Democrats, We're also going into a post principle era. Whatever they don't like, whatever stands in their way, they'll just discard. They don't have to make any show of really caring what you think anymore. This is about the

raw exercise of political power. They think they will have achieved it through this, and look at what they did to get here. Biden's talking about democracy and how beautiful a thing it is now because he likes the outcome

for him as it stands so far. The rest of us stand around saying, you guys, change the rules in an election year by hyperventilating about and exaggerating about the threat of COVID nineteen only as it pertains of course, to voting in person, not to having blm rallies in the streets, not to any number of other activities that are Democrat approved, but voting no that required enormous shifts in the actual mail in balloting process, and transforming the

process in the year of the election and using it to the absolute maximum advantage. And I do at some level blame Republicans, who are supposed to be the ones on guard against this blocking this. I blame them for not doing more in advance, for not seeing this train coming down the tracks. Why do you think Pelosi and the other Libs, we're going all out with the crazy Post office conspiracy over the summer. So that's something that

now we have to learn from. I hope going forward, no matter what, matter what we end up finding out here about the fraud, I will continue to look at every allegation, every bit of evidence that is presented here by the Trump legal team, by anyone who comes forward and has proof of fraud. We owe that to the country. But we also need to be ready for what is

coming now. And you are going to see an administration that has the full and open partisan backing of the social media companies, the entirety of the journalistic media apparatus in its pocket, big government and big business working hand in glove, not shedding any tears for the destruction, the wanton, reckless destruction of small businesses across the country as a result of these preposterous lockdowns. You're not gonna see any any tears over that. They like this advantage that they have.

The eradication of small business is something that Democrats aren't particularly upset about either. Every business that's independently owned and operated is a little bit of a pushback against central planning. So they prefer that they just have Amazon and Google and these megacorporations calling all the shots and making sure they go in favor of the Democrats. And we're gonna be up against an administration that has already shown us again assuming that this pathway continues, but we have to

deal with the path that is before us. We're going to have an administration that is already compromised by China, our chief geopolitical rival. They lied about Russia collusion with Trump and pretended that Russia was a much greater threat than it was, But in fact what they were saying about Russia is true of China. It has infiltrated our government apparatus, it has been stealing our most sensitive information and secrets for years, and it has compromised the would

be first family very directly and very obviously. So this is going to be an enormous challenge. I hope that no matter what, President Trump and all of his chief advisors and supporters will come together and face this as one. But this is where we are. The electoral college. It is now President elect Biden as of now, I understand that you're going to tell me it's a fraud, and I share your sentiment. I share your outrage. But this is where we are now. I've been saying, we trust

the process. The process is not over, but we are taking stock of this today. We have our work cut out for us. Friends. We have a Georgia election to win. We have judges that should be getting at the last minute here pushed through as many federal judges as possible. I don't know what the heck is going on with the Republicans thinking that they can take it easy, and we have to start to make the argument against what will be a Biden administration that has a lot of

support from very powerful people. And you will be told that what you know is not true and what you know is and so you got to relearn that part of it. Get ready for this, friends, We are in this together. We will eventually win. It's just a question of when you're in the freedom mind. This is the

Buck Sexton Show podcast. Four years ago, when I was a city and Vice president of the United States, it was my responsibility to announce the tally the electoral College votes, the Joint Session of Congress and voted to elect Donald Trump. I did my job, and I'm pleased, but not surprised. But the number of my former Republican colleges in the Senate who have acknowledged already the results of the electoral College, I thank them, and I'm convinced we can work together

for the good of the nation on many subjects. That's the duty owed to the people, to our constitution, to our history. You know, this battle for the soul of America democracy prevailed. We the people voted, faith in our institutions held. The integrity of our elections remains intact. And now it's time to turn the page, as you've done throughout our history, to unite to heal. Yeah, he sounds like he's in great shape, doesn't he. Everything's gonna be

just fine. It's gonna be a great president. It's gonna be a great presidency, folks, all all eighteen months or so of it before he decides he's had enough. Although you know, I will say a lot of us underestimated. You know, I don't think it's fair to say you under underestimated Joe Biden. I underestimated the Democrat willingness to put forward a clownish buffoon, but to create a package of a Biden administration that they were able to sell to enough people that they thought this was gonna be

much better. Look the Trump't arrangement syndrome that they spread all of that, the media spread all across the country. It certainly had an effect. I mean, were a lot a lot of people. The fact that Joe Biden, let's say Joe Biden cheated just theoretically though I don't want to anyone to fact check me on this, but let's say Joe Biden had had his team add a half

a million votes to the tally. The fact that this guy still got the eighty million votes roughly that he is mind blowing, this clown, this guy whose son is getting spare keys made for him to open up the office where they're gonna be peddling influence to the Chinese Communist Party when he's not, you know, getting strippers knocked up and pretending he's not the dad and doing all kinds of you know, I mean, come on, this guy, he's gonna be president. Maybe maybe I know, it's not

until he's sworn in. I mean, folks, I just want to know what will be the At what point do you think that it's no longer an issue of having a backbone for the fight to call on the predit? Do we wait? I will ask some folks this because I know today, just by me saying I'm trying to take stock of where we are and be honest about this, I know people are can email me and say that, you know, I don't have enough stomach for the fight, or something like that, and I would just want to

respond to them what I've been saying. Fight every step of the way. But at some point, you know, at some point where the team that's staying behind on the field, at least for this particular game, when the other team is left, they're waving a trophy in the air, and the stands have emptied out, and the lights, you know, the field lights are getting turned off. Is it the

inauguration day? Do I think that there's going to be an opportunity perhaps to bring action against Joe Biden and against some of the other some of the Democrats who are involved in Russia collusion, for example, based on the Durham probe. I think it's possible. I wouldn't say it's likely at all. I always tell you no one can predict the future. Obviously not a lot of US conservatives can. I really believed in my heart that Trump was going to win, and yeah, I think that if only legal

ballots were countered, I think that Trump did win. But I can't change this. You can change this. I mean, I wish that I had the resources and the ability to go out there and find all this fraud and piece it all together. I'm willing to tell you though, the people that are claiming that, don't worry. It's still in the bag. There's the plan, release the crack in. They're not being honest with you. They're not being straight

with you. The best, the biggest earliest Trump supporters that I know, people that I won't name because I've talked to them in confidence, but the ones that I know, they'll say offline, yeah, look, this is not it's not looking good. But we fight this to the end. That's where I am. I'm telling you, let's let's deal with what's ahead of us. Continue to push see where this Antrim County audit, the forensic electronic audit really goes, and understand that there's a lot, there's a lot that we

have here that we have to focus on. And I am very concerned about the trajectory of the US versus China under a possible Biden administration now, but you know this is this is something that we have to regain our focus here pretty quickly because they're gonna want to hit the ground running. We are weeks away from an inauguration that the media is going to treat as a total reset. And remember, our freedoms are under assault because

of COVID and ways that are unimaginable. We have an enormous challenge ahead of us with the Chinese Communist Party, and we've got a buffoon in Joe Biden who's going to be the one calling the shots if this trend continues. Thanks for listening to the past. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. I mentioned the Michigan voting machine audit. I just going to say that the President of the United States, Donald Trump,

was sharing this earlier today. This is what he thinks is going on here, and we should at least follow what the actual commander in chief is saying about all of this. He wrote on Twitter, quote sixty eight percent ararated. Michigan voting machines should be by law a tiny percentage of one percent. Did the Michigan Secretary of State break the law? Stay tuned? And then tremendous problems being found

with voting machines. They are so far off it is ridiculous able to take a landslide victory and reduce it to a tight loss. This is not what the usay is all about. Law enforcement shielding machines do not tamper a crime. Much more to come? Okay, well let's see what the much more to come is. As I've been

telling you all along, I want more information. I want more data, more evidence that there is no There is no part of me that is saying, oh if we find out right, and think of this almost like a murder investigation, all right, you can know that someone did the murder. You could know that someone did the as a law enforcement person. But you can't hold them while you're gathering all the evidence. If you if you have not yet you know, charged them with the crop, right,

you can't just hold them. You're like, well, we think it's you, but we don't have the evidence yet to go and get an arrest warrant, and we don't have that, so we're just gonna hold you until we find all of it. No, you got to release the person, even if you know, even if you know that they're probably guilty, but you don't have the proof yet. You got to release them. That doesn't mean, though, you can't come back to it later. So let's see. Let's see what we're

able to pull together here. I've been hearing from people who are not just a Trump legal team, but are independently trying to assess and pull together all the data. You know. Remember, it's one thing to show that it's almost impossible statistically for Trump to have lost in some of these places, but almost impossible without proof of the intentional Oh, it is not going to be enough to get a judge to say that there was cheating here. And that's not the same thing as saying there was

no cheating. Right. So this is what I'm trying to I'm talking about the process and the system and trying to make us all understand what's really happening, what's unfolding before us right now. And it's infuriating, but it is what it is. So Trump is saying that they found these problems. We'll see what ends up happening. And as I've also told you, affidavits not going to be enough, not going to be enough. You and I can sit here and have a conversation about how affidavits are these are.

Do I believe them? Yes? I do. Do I think that these people are telling the truth. Yeah, But is a judge going to say, well, this person saw a thousand ballots that it's inexplicable how they all went for Biden. But I'm going to invalidate then the hundred thousand ballots that were counted that day at that election site. They're not going to do that. The judge is not going to do that. So, as I've been telling you, the

the affidavits are not enough. And look, I know if I'm wrong about any of this, I'll come back and I'll tell you that I'm wrong. I will tell you there are people out there right now who are just squabbling from the from the scraps or for the scraps from the Trump train, and it's really just about them. They don't there's no interest in then being honest with people because they don't want they don't want to shoot the messenger phenomenon to happen right now, you know. But

the electoral College met yesterday and it is now. It is now President elect Joe Biden. That's that's where we are. And I spit out the words too, but I appreciate that those of you who are joining me here understand that we gotta face this. We gotta face it. We can't hide from it, can't run from it. This is what we're dealing with. And you also have the resignation of Attorney General ball Are that occurred yesterday. And let me say this, I have been a big proponent of

the Attorney general. I think that he's an excellent legal mind. I think he's a good and ethical man, and I understand there's a lot of frustration right now about both the Durham probe and the election. A few things here. One, he appointed Durham. Durham's a guy running that probe, and you know, I don't there's no way for the Attorney General that I'm aware of, to say you need to speed this thing up. That could be considered undue interference,

that could be considered politicization. So he handed this off to somebody who's supposed to be a very dogged and thorough prosecutor. Well, I think a lot of people are finding out as prosecutors are just lawyers. They're just lawyers. There's not some you know, factory of superhero somewhere that's churning out great folks will then all become prosecutors, right, there's bad prosecutors, good prosecutors. And so the Durham probe

is frustrating. But I also never really believe that they would that they would hold to full account members of the deep state. They're too powerful. There's there's too many connections here among them. And then you have the frustration over bar and the election, and I just he's not a judge. And I know this is not maybe a popular thing to say right now, but he's not a judge. What is he supposed to do here? People who say that the DOJ is not looking at these allegations, I

have it. I have it on very good authority that they are looking at these allegations, and they are presenting they are presenting this information up the chain, and that it's exactly what I've been saying. The Democrats removed the safeguards to be able to prove the fraud, so we can keep running around I understand there's this frustration people are. It's like they're banging on the wall here saying, but

there was fraud. I'm saying, I know what. You have to be able to prove it or judges will not do anything about it. This is where we are. You know, if you had a burglary and and somebody and somebody pulled all the of the the alarms and the and the video cameras out of the room, and all of a sudden, the you know, the diamond necklace is gone. You can talk about how it was stolen, but if you can't show any proof, no one's going to prison. That's what I'm trying to tell you. And other people

aren't going to tell you that. Now, they're gonna say, oh, the kracking is just waiting on the sign the No, it's not, it's not. I'm every bit as frustrated as you are. I think the four years of a Trump presidency was gonna be four more years, was going to be fantastic for us. We're gonna have a great twenty twenty one booming economy. Maybe maybe we still get it, but it's not looking good, not looking good at all now. A G. Barr resigned. Uh, this is the last thing

that the President said about him. I think should be remembered here because there are a lot of people that are trashing the attorney general, and I think there are people who worked in the Trump administration at a very senior level. I think there are people who were completely incompetent, bad at their jobs and deserve to be fired. I think James Comey obviously deserved to be fired and sent to prison. But here's what Donald Trump wrote yesterday about

the attorney general. Just had a very nice meeting with Attorney General Bill Barr at the White House. Our relationship has been a very good one. He's done an outstanding job. As per letter, Bill will be leaving just before Christmas to spend the holidays with his family. So there's the President saying, look, I like this guy, and he's stepping down, and that's fine. So let's not you know, he's not some deep state stude. He's not the enemy of the

people or any of this stuff. He probably just realized he's in an unwinnable situation. He's just gonna get blamed for things by people who understand that there was fraud in this election. But he has not. You know, the Attorney General has not been able to find enough of it, nor have they been able to present evidence at a federal court of it to change the result. So he's in a losing position and he doesn't and he just figures, okay, look, have someone else do this. I get it. It's a thankless,

a thankless role right now. And I just want to every gonna be very clear. The President sent him. This is like being you know, honorably discharged. President said nice things about him on the way out. The president doesn't always do that, as you know. So this is the Attorney General saying, all right, I've done what I can. Maybe there's somebody better who can step up and do this. I'm gonna go home with my family for Christmas. That's all it is. And I think the Attorney General did

a solid job. You freed, of course, disagree with me on that, but I think that overall the Attorney General was an ethical guy. And for those of you who were going to really get mad at me, let me just say Bill Barr was considered a stooge and a hatchet man by the media of Trump until five minutes ago. So something happened here and It's not that the Attorney General all of a sudden became some deep state operative, right,

That's not what happened. What happened is we've got a very frustrating election result and there's a lot of blame going around right now, and including the people that don't deserve it. You're in the freedom Hud. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Let me ask you, Governor. There was an allegation made over the weekend on Twitter by a former aid of yours who said that accused you of sexual harassments that had happened over a period of years.

I wanted to get your reaction to that. Yeah, I heard about the tweet and what it said about comments that I had made, and it's not true, Zach. Look, I fought for and I believe a woman has the right to come forward and express her opinion and express issues and concerns that she has. But it's it's just not true. So he's connor a liar? Can we can we just all agree that that's what he is saying,

that she is a liar. And I would just prefer it if he would come out and say that instead of playing this game where you have him say I fought for a right to come forward and you know, to say to things. But turns out that she's a big liar. Look, I don't think she's lying at all. And it's I know that you could say to me, oh, but Buck, that's because he's a Democrat and you don't like him, and you think that he's, you know, King Cuomo and a maniac. I don't like him, and I

do think he's a maniac. And it's terrifying that he might be a an attorney general under a bid administration that's already been talked about. That I find that deeply concerning. But I also am willing to give you my honest assessment of these things. I don't always think that these allegations, even though against Democrats are true, they do tend to be true more often against high profile Democrats than they

are against high profile Republicans. I'm gonna say that there you have noticed this, But it's not a it's not an absolute. But Cuomo is a jerk. And Cuomo is a guy who you can just tell. You can tell that he thinks that he can get away with stuff. He's known as a bully, he's known as being vindictive, he's not a nice guy. So you know when they accused Kavanaugh, who is like, you know, Ned Flanders went to Harvard Law School or something or Yale Law School,

I forget which one. And it's like this legal legal supermind who is coaching you know, girls basketball on the weekend. Everybody loves him. They accuse him of being a serial gang rapist. One of the ugliest, most underhanded and disgraceful episodes in American politics in my lifetime. And no intelligent person could really believe that those things were true, but they wanted to believe it because they wanted to stop

him from being on the Supreme Court. What we're seeing the Supreme Court even when you put constitutionalists on the left. And I'm gonna say this, and it's annoying, but you gotta know the truth. When the left gets one of their judges on, they've got somebody who plays for their team. When the right gets one of their judges on, they've got somebody who adheres to the Constitution. You can see this the left, the left does not disappoint their side.

They get what they want. That's what an activist judge means, that's their mandate. Give us what we want right create a living constitution model where you just decide that you think this is better and the progressive should get their way. For the on the right, constitutionalist judges, they say, look, I don't like this policy, or I don't think this is a good idea, but it is constitutional, so I can't do anything about it. You just think of all

think of big cases. That's what keeps happening. But bring it back to Cuomo. So they'll say that boy scout Cavanaugh is a bad guy and he's a rapist and all this stuff, and it's just absurd, and I'm never letting that go. That, in some ways was almost as radicalizing, and perhaps it was as radicalizing a moment for many conservatives as the Russia collusion lies about Trump, because it was so obviously false and so vicious, and I'm never gonna forget it, never gonna forgive it either. But then

you have Cuomo. Here's a guy who is a jerk and everyone knows it, and he's powermad and I believe there was actually a domestic disturbance at his house once when he was married, and the police showed up, and that everyone had to pretend it didn't happen. He shut down the Morelin Commission in a corruption of him just essentially by intimidating and you know, scaring everybody. Is a bad guy. He's just a bad guy. And now he's being accused of things that Remember, she didn't go overboard.

She wasn't saying, oh, you know, he drugged me and all this other stuff. I mean, I mean, not that couldn't happen, but that would be a bit of that would be a pretty extreme allegation. She says that he said, you know, sexist comments and talk about my appearance. And you know, if you look at the woman in question, I'm I find it very credible that Cuomo would comment on her appearance. I don't think that that's a stretch

at all. And I'm just bringing this up because get ready to kind of stay with our prepare for the battle ahead mentality today. Get ready for the double standards that we saw in the first four years of Trump. Going forward under a bind administration will be just mind blowing. They won't have any standards, accept double standards. They will just everything that they've said in the past, whether it's about the grounds for impeachment, whether it's about the Me

Too movement. Women have a right, women have a right to be believed, was the That was the line, That was the claim that was made whenever, whether it was Trump or Kavanaugh, any Republican was accused of anything. And there were some people like Cosby and Weinstein who weren't politicians but were I guess democrats. Winestein's clearly a Democrat who were guilty. And so yeah, those women did have a right to believed because they were telling the truth.

But now all of a sudden, when it's Cuomo, they're gonna they're gonna avoid talking about this story and they're gonna take his word for it and they'll let him get away with the formulation that he gave you there where he's just saying, oh, yes, she has a right to come forward. What does that mean? We were told that she has a right to be believed. Hillary Clinton said about women coming forward with allegations, they have a right to be believed. And now when there's a Democrat,

he's in trouble. All of a sudden, now we have a Oh, I don't know, I don't know if we can really take that seriously anymore. That's standard that we were using to try to eviscerate republic lookings. Maybe we need to be a little more thoughtful about how we do this, Maybe we need to be a little more evidentiary in the way that we approached these things. And I sit here saying, wow, no, no, no, dub no surprise, huh,

And Cuomo is going to get away with this. There will be no consequences from whatsoever Democrat voters in New York State where I am, at least for now, I don't know what it's going to take them to realize this guy's a nightmare. I don't know. I mean, you'd think that at this point they would have figured it out, and they want anybody but him. The media loves this guy. They love him so he can get away with anything. And he's about to get away with these sexual sexual

harassment allegations, that's for sure. Thanks for listening to The Bus Sesson Show podcast. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcast, the iHeart Radio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. What are we really seeing when it comes to the result of these lockdowns and what has the data told us so far about so many of these expert predictions When it comes to COVID nineteen and how we're supposed to handle it. We're joined out by Phil Kirpin. He's

a syndicated columnist and also the president of American Commitment. Phil, thanks for making the time great to be with you. By Let's talk about schools first. What does the data tell us about school lockdowns at this stage, or I should just say school closures, it's not even really lockdowns. Closing schools and doing only virtual learning probably the single biggest policy mistake of the entire year, which is hang a lot, because we've had a lot of policy mistakes.

It's interesting the original CDC guidance on schools was really balanced, and I think anyone who actually read it and paid attention would not have closed schools. And yet we had sort of this panic contagion that swept the whole country and all the schools were closed, and a lot of them never reopened or opened on very limited part time schedule. And it's interesting. There was a study in the Journal of the American Medical Association a couple of weeks ago.

They looked at just the impact of elementary school closures and just for two months in the spring, and they calculated five million years of life lost from two months of elementary school closures, which is probably more years of life lost than we're going to have from the coronavirus. There's a very strong relationship between educational attainment and not just income, but life expectancy as well. The difference between a high school graduate and a high school dropout, on

average is about five years of life expectancy. The online learning is not working for a lot of people. For some kids, it's fine, some of them are doing okay,

but a lot of kids are failing. A lot more kids than ever failed with traditional school, and that has major long term consequences, both economic and health consequences, And so we're essentially imposing enormous harms and enormous enormous costs on children societally, even though children are atists near zero risks, certainly much lower risk with coronavirus than they are from seasonal flu, which is five to ten times more deadly for children than coronavirus, and that we tolerate and that

we think is a perfectly acceptable little level of risk. And so children have really been the biggest losers in our policy response to COVID. It feels increasingly feel like the elimination of any tolerable risk when it comes to COVID has been at the center of a lot of the policies that we see, and restaurants in New York City have just been closed as of this week. Contact racing shown that they were responsible for they believe, about one percent of the spread. So what are what have

we learned about? Where is the virus spreading in New York and it's and its environs, because that's a that's also a good proxy for where it would be spreading in other densely populated parts of the country. Well, the data the New York published, and it's interesting because they published very very similar data back in May and then ignored it, and now they're finding the same thing again, which is almost all of the spread is inside of homes,

inside of households. And you know, New York of course has a lot of high density residential, a lot of multi family, you know, apartment buildings, and so you know, maybe a little bit different there and some other places, but by and large, I think it's now pretty clear from the contact tracing we've seen all over the country that there's not a lot of spread in places like restaurants and retail and so that the spread tends to happen sort of the one to one person to person

spread tends to happen inside of homes. Now we also have this other problem of these occasional sort of super spread or events which are hard to predict, and we still don't really know why some small percentage of people with this virus and it's only maybe ten percent something like that seemed to be responsible for, you know, a

lot of the spread. And so you know, if you've got on the average person gets this virus, infects zero or one other people, and then but then you've got this small group that affects tons of people, and you know, we still don't really know what makes them different and why they tend to infect lots of people. And I wish with more research we're going into that because that would be very useful to sort of identify and be

able to predict what those characteristics are. But by and large, what we saw in the New York did, and it was remarkable because Governor Cuomo came out and he said, look, here's the data. Seventy five percent of transmission is in homes, one percent is in restaurants. So I'm closing restaurants and you know, then he said, well, you know, because it's something we can do. You know, we can't close homes,

we can close restaurants. But of course, just because you can do something doesn't mean that it's actually you know, he said, you know, it's only a small difference, but

it's something we can do. You know, but if you look at the data, but it's more likely to be a negative difference than a positive difference, because if you say, you know, we're going to push gatherings and holiday gatherings and dinners and all this kind of stuff out of restaurants where people are being very strict with their distancing and their hygiene and all this stuff, we're gonna push them out. We're gonna close. Now, they're gonna take place

in homes instead. You know, some of them won't take place at all, but a lot of them will take place in homes instead without any of those precautions. And so in my judgment, the restaurant closure is not only economically devastating, but it's more likely to increase transmission than to decrease it because people are going to meet in home settings instead. Well, this was a concern also last winter or late late in the winter, when we recognize that New York City was facing this first big wave

of COVID cases. They went into the fifteen days to stop the spread and the stay at home orders, and a lot of people are saying, well, hold on a second, We've had this virus is all over the place already, and now what you're going to be doing by shutting down the schools, shutting down anywhere for people to places for people to go, is you might actually be forcing And you mentioned multigenerational, multi family homes, dense housing, which is all over New York City where people it's very

difficult to really stay far away from others. It may have effectively sent everyone home to infect their family members inadvertently. But that was always a concern. Yeah, I think that that almost certainly was a big part of what happened in New York back in the spring. Now, the good thing you've got going for you now in New York is, you know, so many people have already had it. You have a very high level of community immunity, probably higher

than anywhere else in the United States. And so you know, if you look at the New York state numbers, it's now mostly outside of the New York City area, it's sort of the rest of the state is kind of catching up new York City. If you look at the hospital utilization in the emergency room data, you've actually got lower emergency room visits for respiratory illnesses and influenza like illness now than you know, any of the previous five

years this time of year. So you're actually lower than normal in New York City, I think because you've got a lot of community immunity to COVID, and because the other factor, which is happening everywhere in the world right now with very little attention paid to it. There's almost no flu activity this year. And we don't know if that's because the you know, the policy measures like the masks and the distancing and school closures are somehow more effective for flu than they are for COVID, or if

the virus itself has somehow disrupted. We don't really know why it's the case, but it's a remarkable story because remember the experts that we're gonna have this twindemic flu is going to hit at the same time as COVID, all the hospital's gonna be overwhelmed. Instead, we've got you know, the mildest flu season since at least twenty fifteen, and maybe, you know, we'll see if it doesn't take off at all,

maybe the mildest flu season on records. So you've got, you know, really underutilization of hospitals in a place like New York City that has relatively little COVID activity because we're not seeing any fluid. I pulled some numbers last week.

I'm glad you brought that up. Phil. I'm speaking of Phil Kirpin, syndicated columnist, journalist, and at Phil, I looked at the initial Now, now I had someone right, I've had people right into me since to say we're not really testing for flu the way that we normally do. And to that, I say, okay, because I am asking. You know, so sometimes people are asking a question and they're really trying to push a conclusion. I'm actually asking

the question, but I pose to the audience. I said, you know, the initial data on the CDC website for the first week of December, and and I think it was it was low for what they actually had for COVID. So this was initial data. So the numbers are clearly going to go up. And you know, maybe it went from you know, maybe I might even go up by a factor of ten, let's say, right, I mean, it

could go up substantially. But the initial data said that they had something like two thousand plus COVID deaths in the first week of December that we're officially COVID, you know, meaning that this is what they had three three from the flu. Now, I could understand more COVID, I could under but there's clearly something going on here. I mean,

you mentioned some of the possibilities. There's no way that you have almost a factor of a thousand more COVID deaths than you do flu debts, given what we would see in a normal flu season. That's not possible. Well, you know, flu peaks are more often in January February than they are in November and December times sometimes you have in earlier flu seasons. So you know a lot of people say, well, you know, flu's not here yet, it's still coming. That might be true, but we've never

seen levels this low. We've never seen levels this low, and if you look at the CDC flu testing data, it's down about ninety five ninety five to almost one hundred percent some weeks, and we've had like ninety eight percent reduction from the five year average. And it's not

that we're not testing. The flu tests are actually higher than the five year average, and they they're actually at a record high at the number of flu tests at the CDC tracks, And the CDC only tracks clinical labs and public health labs, so they don't track, you know, like the rapid tests in the doctor's office. That's not in the stats. So they only have thousands of tests, they don't have millions of tests. But it's still it indicates that I think one of three things is going

on buck. Either we've got the public health measures that are being implemented for some reason, or very effective at stopping flu, even though they don't seem to be. They're not effective. It's stopping covid right right, So that's a little hard to believe, although a lot of people have been saying that or somehow the covid virus itself disrupts the flu virus, which is possible. There's a phenomenon called viral interference, and this was actually how swine flu ended

back in two thousand and nine. The rhinovirus came in and it sort of just knocked it out. You know, people got that instead and it sort of knocked it out, and there was some hope. There was actually an article, you know, months ago, hoping that flu season would come in and sort of disrupt COVID. That definitely didn't happen, but maybe the opposite happened. Maybe COVID disrupted flu, and you know, once you get COVID, your mucus build up

blocks flu, or some mechanism causes viral interference. Or the third possibility is that we've got some sort of a data artifact where maybe you know, we're get so many false positives for COVID that people get flu, they test false positive, it goes into the stats AVID case instead of a flu case. Maybe there's a timing issue where even though we have lots of flu tests, people are only taking the flu test after they get a negative COVID test back, and by then flus not detectable anymore.

Some people have suggested that, so they're basically there are three possibilities in my judgment, Either the policies are actually stopping flu somehow there's actual viral interference, or we've got some sort of a data artifact based on the sequence and the way that we're doing the testing that's causing the flu cases to be mischaracterized as COVID. So it's

got to be one of those three things. I'm not sure which it is, or if it's a combination, but I wish there were a lot more curiosity about this, you know, among the media and among the public health officials, because it's a pretty remarkable of phenomenon what we're seeing. Talk to me about this, and we're speaking of Phil Kirpin. He is the president of American Commitment, and he's a syndicated columnists. I see all these charts, and I've looked at some of the data myself, and they show mask

mandates going into place on a timeline. And you know, for a state, right whether it's California or Hawaii or New York or wherever mask mandate goes into effect, and then you have countless charts where you just give it time and the case is just skyrocket after the mandate goes into effect. What can we just tell from the numbers about this as a policy? Can can we draw any conclusions or you can you draw any conclusions from what we're seeing. I don't think masks have any effect.

Mask mandates you know, we should we should differentiate the two masked mandates and masks are not necessarily synonymous because just because the mandates in an area doesn't mean everyone's wearing them, or wearing them properly, or handling them properly

and so forth. You know, the reason historically we've never recommended masks outside of medical settings is it's actually really hard to use a mask properly, to make sure you never touch the outside, to remove it and carefully and throw it out or wash it without ever touching the outside.

And you know, that's why we've never recommended them in non medical settings, because even if they work sort of conceptually in sort of a lab test, we never had confidence that people would use them correctly in a way that actually could be beneficial. And I think that based on the data that I'm saying, you know, it's sort of you could go either way on whether they work

in idealized setting. There is a lot of lab data showing that they probably would be beneficial if they were used sort of perfectly, but in practice, I don't see any evidence that they've been beneficial at all. And you know, there's the cherry picking that goes on and the CDC had a couple of very low quality studies looking at Arizona and Kansas, where they essentially just cherry picked their end dates and their comparators and said, look, masks to

the reason we saw a decline. And you know, if you look at kind of what's happened seasonally, you have essentially identical patterns in places with them without mask mandates, if they've got the same geography in the same sort of time of year, and so I don't think that they make a difference one way or the other. You could argue some have suggested they may actually be harmful.

The reason that the Nordic states have all avoided the mask mandates, you know, Sweden, Denmark, Norway and so forth, as they say, look, you know, the mask doesn't really do that much, especially the way a typical person handles it is not well trained, the way the surgeon would be, and so forth. But if you tell people that the mask protects you, then suddenly they're going to stand right next to each other for prolonged periods of time with masks on, and they're gonna think they don't need to

keep their distance. And oh, and I'm sure people that have mild code. They might go out of the house even if they're feeling sick because mask on and so the you know, a false belief that a mask will protect you might actually put you at more risk. This is what I've been saying. You're gonna have people that say, well, maybe I got COVID, but my symptoms aren't that bad and I'm wearing a mask, so I'm good to go.

It's like, no, this is a bad idea. There's a bad idea, but I could guarantee that's been happening all over the country, all over the world. Phil, Look, I appreciate that you're willing to take a look at the data here on the numbers and come to conclude as that you know, aren't right in line with the consensus. I feel like this is the brainwashing that has gone on on this issue is unlike anything else I've ever seen in my life. I just want to give you

the last word. Yeah. I mean, probably the most frightening thing of the past year buck has been the extent to which people not only accepted all of these various arbitrary government decrees, but demanded them and welcomed them and cheered them on. And I think the extent to which a large portion of the public supports the heavy handed government policy response is probably the most frightening takeaway of

this whole thing. And you know, it means we could we could see this again every time there's a disease. So I am I am concerned about that, and I share your you know, I share your sentiments on that. Bill Kirpin, President of American Commitment, Phil really appreciate it. Talk to you soon. All right, every go on, you're in the Freedom Heart. This is the Buck Sex and Show podcast. Well, I think the party is uncertain of

the course that we're going to take going forward. The principles that have long been the hallmark of my party are very much in question, which is, do we believe in balancing the budget? Do we believe in standing up to people like Kim Jong Gun and Vladimir Putin? Are we committed to the principle that character counts? These are all things that I think we're going to have to decide over the coming years. I can tell you this much. Mid Romney's not going to be the leader of the

Republican Party. That's for damn sure. Mid Romney is a Democrat. Now I'm not going to forget that one anytime soon. He should be ashamed of his vote for the president to be removed during that sham impeachment, an impeachment about a president having a phone call where he asked about what we know is an entirely legitimate issue Biden family corruption, which is quite real. There's a federal investigation going on

around it. You know. They may not like that the Trumpster was using some bare knockle politics here, but he was within his rights to do it. It was a fair ask. No action was taken on it anyway, and mid Romney voted to have the president removed from office based on that. Now, let's not ever forget this. There

are a lot of these never trumpers. There are a lot of these stealth Democrats running around who were now all of a sudden going to be talking about how much they care about protecting life and the pro life movement. They're gonna be talking about the constitution and limited government

and a strong national defense and all these things. They think they were going to turn the clock back to, you know, two thousand and six or something, and the Romneyite McCain, you know, mccainneyan view of the Republican Party is going to be what we go back to, and I think that they're in for a rude awakening. It's not going to happen, and it should not happen. We now have a transformed Republican Party and it should stay aligned with the principles of America first and just reason

and rationality in our foreign policy and domestic policy. Support for rule of law, support for law enforcement. Those are things that aren't going away. We're not all going to start watching Milton Friedman lectures again and act like this is nineteen eighty seven. Thanks for listening to The bus Essen Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcast, at

the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. I had been saying, by my calculation sometime by the end of the March the beginning of April, that the normal, healthy man and woman in the street who has no underlying conditions would likely get it at the end of the day. The real bottom line is when do you get the majority, the overwhelming majority of the population vaccinated so you can get that umbrella of herd immunity. And I believe if we're fishing about it and we convince

people to get vaccinated. We can accomplish that by the end of the second quarter of twenty twenty one, namely by the end of the late spring early summer. They're gonna take as many lives, as many months of your life from you as they can until they realize they no longer have that power. I mean, Fauci is I think making that quite clear. He's just effectively telling you that by June, let's say, you know, April, May, March, June, July,

oh sorry, fair January, February, March, April, May, June. So by the end of the second quarter, by this summer, you'll have most people who are going to get vaccinated vaccinated. Do you think that that means that all of a sudden, the Faucci Heights and the rest of the lockdowners are going to say, you know what, go live your life, folks, go travel, go be around people, go socialize again. Now they're gonna say, we can't we can't know yet. This

virus still out there. The virus is still out there. You'll say, yeah, but there are a lot of virus is still out there, and you know, life is short. How much more of this are we supposed to take? And what you see is we have a population, unfortunately in America. I think we've all gotten so used to everything on demand, delicious food, excellent medical care, you know, super comfortable accommodations, even for people who aren't wealthy by

any American standard. We've gotten used to all this, and we all just expect that we're going to live deep into our eighties, maybe into our nineties, or even to triple digits. And our belief is that we are all guaranteed that, especially if we listen to the faucies of the world. That's just not true. It's just not true. And a lot of people want to live their lives as though they recognize that that is not true, that

there are no guarantees here. But what we've seen is the public unfortunately hand off to the faucies of the world the right to determine for them what acceptable risk is here. And as long as you are not able to be the arbiter of your own personal risk or risk for your family, there will be bureaucrats making those calls for you. And that's what we see going on. So let's assume let's play this out for a second.

Fauci says that we'll have herd immunity effectively by June, herd immunity by June, and you would think that at that point we should be having big celebrations, that every should be able to go out and do what they want to do. That's just not true. It's just not true. They're going to say, well, we can't take that risk. We have to wait and make sure that we have a period here of almost no COVID kids. Yeah, they'll relax on some of the lockdown policies, but they're still

gonna probably have a prohibitions on large gatherings. You know, you're not gonna be able to have a wedding in a lot of states with one hundred and fifty people in July, even if we're at herd immunity in June, because they're just they're gonna say, sorry, no risk, not allowed, not allowed. They're they're gonna just hold on. They're gonna grip with their grubbing little fingers. They're gonna grip the bureaucrats and the apparatus and the Democrats and the Biden apparatchicks.

They're gonna hold on to this power with everything they've got, and the Cuomos and the newsoms and all the rest of them, because they really want you all to submit. They want us to be begging to get some normalcy,

some freedom back, so that then we forget right. There's almost like a hostage hostage vibe here where when the hostage taker, you know, finally gives you a slice of cold pizza or something after they've held you for a few days and you're starving, you're thankful to your hostage taker. Oh my gosh, thank you, mister hostage taker. You know, thank you terrorist. You're gonna finally let me have like

something to eat. You're gonna you're gonna let me go to the bathroom now, or you're gonna you're gonna give me some water. It's been two days. Oh my gosh, this this happens. This is a a psychological response that you'll have to high stress situations, and I think they're

counting on that. I think their belief is that whenever they begin to give us back our basic rights to live, our lives will be so beaten down at that point and so frustrated, it's so tired of all of this that just anything to make it stop will be our mentality. And that means that we won't question them, we won't bring up any of this. We'll just say sure, anything to make it stop. And Faucci is out there telling everyone to get vaccind how's that going to go? Play seven?

You have said you would get vaccinated publicly, doctor Fauci, any update on when you know? I don't. I mean, I'm gonna wait to see we're getting a shipment, maybe already have a shipment here on the NIH campus. I will as soon as my turn comes up, which likely will be very soon. I'm going to be available to get vaccinated publicly so that people can see that I feel strongly that this is something we should do, and hopefully that will encourage many more people to get vaccinated.

They're going to say that as long as they think they're still people that have to get vaccinated. Even those who have been vaccinated don't get to live their lives in greater freedom. That becomes the coercive mechanism. That then becomes sorry. I know you did your part. You've listened to FOUCH all along, You've worn the masks, you've you've social distanced, you lost your business, you shut down, you're gone bankrupt. You did everything the FOUCH told you, and

you think, okay, well I got vaccinated. Now it should be good to go. Right now, I don't have to worry anymore. And Fouchers did to say, well, maybe you got vaccinated, but there are a lot of millions of other people that didn't get vaccinated. And let's all understand this. If we can just get nursing homes vaccinated across the country by the numbers, this is not this is not just a guess. By the numbers, the monthly death rate

should should drop in half by the time. So if we get by the end of December, if nursing homes are all vaccinated across the country, which would be pretty ambitious, that may not happen. But let's say by by mid January, late January, all the nursing homes have had all their residents vaccinated against this. You should you should see a fifty percent or more decline in mortality from the virus. Fifty percent on a monthly basis, and that's based on

what we've ordered. That's that's on months, and fifty percent of deaths up to this point have been nursing home residents. Fifty percent of them up to this point. I've been nursing home residence. So you could even make a case that should be once you get all the nursing homes vaccinated, it might even be a larger number than fifty percent. But nonetheless, when do we actually get to live our lives again, When do we get to stop wearing these dumb masks all the time? I hate them. I hate it.

I think it's it's submission to popular panic and to the will of the mob. I have to wear a mask outside now in New York City. This is idiotic. There's no science to back that up. Don't you know. I'm not going to listen to these lives and they pull the science card, but there's no science that says you got to wear a mask outside. Think about it

this way. People have been eating in New York City restaurants for months now, and they have this test and trace program, which is pretty much a joke, but you know, they do some testing and tracing, and think about it this way. They have looked at the data and told you that when people sit in an enclosed space in a restaurant with no mask, which is what happens when you're eating, that's one percent of the spread. But we

are all supposed to believe. We are all supposed to think that outdoors, there's a lot of spread happening that outdoors you should be wearing a mask based on what Where is the data to suggest that outdoor mask wearing is intelligent and that people should be doing this. Where is Oh, it's a solidarity, think it's a political thing.

Notice the moment that the science does not clearly does not support one of their positions, The conversation suddenly shifts, the moment that they can't just yell science at the top of their lungs and all of us go, oh, okay, Well, if it's what the science says, what do they do? They just shift and say, no, now it's actually about politics. Now it's about something else. Now there are other considerations that we're all supposed to have. Oh isn't that? Isn't

that convenient? Convenient? Indeed? And as for the vaccine itself, I have concerns here from what I'm reading in some of the analyzes of the data, not that the vaccine does not work. I think the vaccine seems to work quite well, but they they're telling well, here here's what Faucci is saying about this play six sa we did not see any severe adverse events. There is reactivegenicity, which really means the typical things that you get or some

muscle aches, maybe a little malaise, sometimes a fever. It usually doesn't last any more than twenty four to thirty six hours. But with regards to severe adverse events, that's the reason why when you go from tens of thousands of people to now two point nine million doses have been shipped to about one hundred and forty five locations today. So when you get that many people, you want to make sure you keep a heads up for the occurrence of any adverse events that you did not see in

the TRUBE. He's saying that, you know, they they may learn some stuff here as people are getting this vaccination about the reactivity, I think is what you call it. There were a plant there were people who got fevers, who got uh, you know, extreme fatigue, things like that

from taking the vaccine. And you know they also in the test that that Fiser did, they mostly I think is five to ten percent of the people were over sixty in the Fiser So most of the people who got the vaccine in the Fiser trial were younger, healthier, people. That's also an interesting Well we'll see how this plays out, because if you're thirty years old, why you're going to get this vaccine in six months when everyone who's at high risk already has gotten it. Think about this, Think

about the way this will be rolled out. You're gonna have people that are very the people that are at high risk, we're gonna get it first, and so over time you'll have fewer and fewer people who are really incentivized. Because well, if everyone in the senior homes, you know, if I didn't have to worry about people over fifty getting COVID, really over sixty five getting COVID, I wouldn't worry about this really at all. It's less dangerous to

people under fifty. It's less dangerous than a bad seasonal flu. That's just a fact. So if we get the people in the high risk category vaccinated, why is the X factation beyond that supposed to be that everyone what I mean, are we gonna are we gonna not achieve herd immunity? And even when five year olds haven't been vaccinated, there'd be a lot of parents are gonna say, look, I'm

not sticking this thing in my kid. There's no long term trial that's been done on this, and kids are at no risk, so why should And kids can barely, if ever, spread it to people who are older than them. So would you kids have to get it too? You know? When they talk about herd immunity. I think this is going to be a very interesting discussion. What does that even it's a concept, what does that even mean in practice? But see, they don't want you to ask any of

these questions. They don't want you to think about this. They just want you to jab the needle in your arm, shut up, wear that mask, do what you're told. America is not the give me liberty or give me death country that we thought we were. We've learned that. It's been very unfortunate. It's been very sad, although I am pleased every time I see some business owner who tells one of these health bureaucrats to go stuff it. You're in the freedom. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast.

First of look, it's our responsibility. Where your masks, social distance, wash your hands, you know, be careful. I mean that's what we have to do. If you've been around somebody, or you test it positive like I did, and you know, a month or so ago, you got to be out a quarantine, which I did. So that's what you have to do. But we got to get this economy going. Look at this, go back to Steve. These states that have the bad unemployment, that's what they're doing. They keep

shutting these things down. How can you how can people put food on the table if they don't have a job. And you know, these guys like Cuomo, they don't care. They're doing fine. He's always done fine. It's everybody else and is he's hurting the poorest families in his state. We're not going to do that in Florida. Florida is showing that this stuff that they've made us all do these lockdowns and these extreme responses, all this it's unnecessary.

Why have all these mandates when Florida is doing better than a place like New York is doing right now, or better than a place like California is doing overall without all the mandates, right or rather they have the mandates in Florida does not, So what advantage is there of them? The data does not support it. But then what you see, and this is what Senator Rick Scott brings up here, and the people that are making these decisions, the people that are saying these things, they are not

themselves suffering. Governor Cuomo hasn't missed a paycheck. Governor Newsom hasn't missed a paycheck. These are wealthy people who continue to really in many ways grow wealthier or as their power increases, it just means that they'll have more opportunities to cash in on their political on their political power down the line, the accumulation of this will just mean that, you know, they're they're bigger names now, they are known

more in national level circles. So all the influence, peddling, all the stuff, all the ways they'll be able to monetize this period, those continue for them. But we were never all in this together. We were never all in this together. There were some people who are actually suffering terribly economically from this. They're watching their businesses be destroyed, they're going bankrupt, they're they're having a horrible time of it.

And there are other people who very clearly are able to just continue on as is and not suffer any particular consequences from this. There's a lockdown for them just means work from home. For a lot of people, it's a dream come true. Look, I'm sitting here telling you right now, I am perfectly happy to not have to go to a formal radio studio anymore. There's no advantage for me in that. Right now, I live in New York City, and I have to go into a TV studio every day, and I have to interact in the

outside world in New York. So I'm subjected to a lot of the COVID nonsense as well as the COVID risks. But for tons of people, I mean, if you live in a big house in the suburbs and you know, this is just meant you've really gotten used to ordering, you know, your your groceries from Amazon and having Uber Eats, you know, deliver Chinese food to you. That's all this is really meant for them. And you know you don't get to go to big parties for a while. Oh

you know. Oh well, so some people have had a terrible time of this and others have not, And the media is overwhelmingly representative of the people that have actually thrived financially and economically during the pandemic. I've done quite well while all of this was happening. That's that's the truth, you know, the media has been part of this class

that has benefited from it in many ways. So I just I continued it to see this disconnect and this lack of appreciation in the media for the people out there who are just saying, you know what am I supposed to do here? You know, making a decision that ruined someone's business, that bankrupts their family. That should not be taken lightly, and it's it should not be something the government is even able to do. And they've been doing it to millions of people across the country, and

the speak truth to power. Oh, we're the guardians of the republic. Journals out there. They haven't cared about this. They haven't been doing all they can to raise this plight to public consciousness. No, they're they're saying, wear your mask. Shut up. You know, it's not about getting a haircut. Remember when they used to say that it was just because people wanted haircuts. Thanks for listening to The Bus Sesson Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the

iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. The good news is that people have had enough enough with the mask shaming, enough with the tyrannical health inspectors. I was trying to track down where this was. This is already going viral on social media. It's a guy, and I'll just tell you he's wearing some pretty tight, tight shorts, which is getting a lot of attention. He's wearing some very tight shorts and he definitely could use a little more a little more space than them to to kind

of let him relax a little bit. Because he goes up to a woman and it looks like they're in a big grocery store, department store or something like, not a department store, a grocery store or a big box store of some kind. And this is a woman and she's being approached by this guy because she's not oh oh, she's not wearing a mask. And here's how the exchange goes play. Put your mask on, get away from me. Doesn't bother anybody else that she doesn't have to wear

a mask that we all do. Just go away, stay six feet away from me, then, no, get away from me. No, yeah, please get away from me right now. No, you don't know why. You don't need to come near me. She has from walk away from me, STARp. Please get away from me. You don't care leave me alone alone, she put, she get out of here. I know who you voted for. That's my favorite. My favorite is the Lettian. I know who you voted for. Yeah, she does. Guy's clearly a

Biden voter. Because this is so political for these people. You know, you want to talk about science, I want to talk about numbers. You know what the chances are that this guy who's wearing a mask, who's in this very large store that walks past this this woman who isn't you know, isn't at that moment wearing a mask, The chance that that he is going to get infected with COVID nineteen from this kind of an encounter is effectively zero. It's not it's not like a maybe, it's not. Oh,

it's pretty much zero. You know. It's as close to zero as we can get in any realistic sense of science and data and probability. But he wants to start a big thing. He wants to chase her around and demand that she wear a mask. And he said something I think was very telling too. It was, we all have to wear a mask. So she asked to as well. There's a lot of that in all this too, there's a lot of we all have to suffer in this together,

instead of saying, hmm, maybe this person's onto something. Maybe some of this is dumb, there's no need for us to really be doing it. Oh that's that's not the that's not the approach, that's not the view that has taken here. So this guy's indicative. I had someone approached me over the summer. Do you know how many cases there were in New York City this summer? Like none? There were a few one hundred. There's twenty million people in New York State. There were like a few hundred

COVID cases at any time in New York. And I had some guy get up an eye face. I told him to call the health authorities. It's like, what is wrong with you? I'm not sick, and the chance of me being sick is, at that point in the summertime was like one in a million. And you're gonna harass me over this just because people can't think for themselves.

This is what you see. There's so many weak willed, weak minded individuals out there, unable to control their anxiety, in their fear, and they just believe whatever the experts will tell them. The experts. Any intelligent person who who was thoughtful and has good judgment, knows that in most areas of critical decision making in public life or just life in general, you can find experts to tell you one thing, and you'll find experts to tell you another thing.

That's just the way it is. It's just the way it goes. But no, they think this appeal to the experts. All the experts told me this thing. I'm so focused on what the experts say. That means that it shuts down all discussion. That means that there's no longer any reason whatsoever for us to ask any questions about this. I like when people ask questions. I like when they push back. I expect it. I think it's American. I even go to that place. I go to that extent.

And so I don't know where that storre was. And this is a guy Nick the Greek restaurant on I can't I don't know if it's in California or New York. I think it's in California. This this exchange, and this one is also going viral today. Here's a guy who's just losing it with these these little bureaucrat health inspectors who show up and they're you know issuing citations and fines for this musical chairs game of Oh, we have new COVID restrictions. Now, oh, I gotta listen to the

new COVID restrictions. Here's how here's how that went, and we're gonna play a good chunk of this for you, Producer, Mark hit It. I followed the rules. I continue to follow the rules, and you are still time after time are giving the citations. My business. What if I employees tableside just because the health departments have the whole process to go through. That takes a lot of that takes my pay. Who are you to make those decisions. I chose to cel tests by putting my tails outside. I

be hearing it again. I never saw one single person outside. I did all pay out foot and delivery to what exactly I was supposed to be doing. That's exactly what I did. I did not break any end consuming the law. I did not bring any rule where there is breaking right now by operating without a comment because you guys put this close on the restaurant, right so you youause you for a second. Let's pause you for a second.

So they change the rules constantly, and then they harass people that are trying to comply with the rules make their lives harder. And and then there's no like good faith exception. You're okay, you were trying to comply. We're not going to be paying the ass bureaucrats. We're actually going to allow you to live your life and to try to make a living and try to pay your bills and try to feed yourself. There's none of that. No, that that's that's not allowed. No. Instead, it's we're writing

you up. You're not obeying the rules. Another citation here. Here you go. The rules keep changing. The rules are bull The rules are based on the whim of tyrants. K I like this guy. He keeps digging it. He's saying, look, I'm doing this stuff. You're saying now they want him. It sounds like they want him to wait for them to check to see if he's done the new thing they've told him to do before he can serve food again. What kind of idiocy is this? Go back play more.

Let's hear it. Your own rule and you're getting by citation for your own rules for it. It's not that not here, So you gotta give me a closure citation based on that issue. Closures to closing. I'm not issuing the citation the closure the restaurant already it has been suspended. However, your refusal to close warrant a the country. I'm gonna do with my call. Aren't you gonna pay our rest? No, don't owe okay gon to pare her. I want to close it. I we need to reopen. You're not a man.

I told you already he put every open today to be open right now. However, is that he she said that opens? Yeah, mistal steps the steps that you need to take to make sure that you can open your business. You couldn't have been you could have re open? How ready? How smith steps are listening in the records, I called the guy. The guys I spoke to the phone was a supervisor because he made in a stake. That's on me. He made a stake. I just recorded all my phone

what he's said, what he did, he told me. I put it in writing to him on the email. I will follow the rules and I will not put my team was proud like you're kind of you're getting the gist. Aren't you a bunch of bureaucrats? Pay with your tax dollars? Harassing this guy, what what has he done wrong? You know, he's not serving rotten food to people and getting them sick. He's providing a service that the public wants. He's trying to feed his family by feeding the public. He's complying

with all these rules. But they don't. They feel like he did the steps and didn't you know, check with them or something. I mean, and they're giving them a citation. They can't just show up and say, hey, man, look, we know this is a tough time. We know that, you know, everyone's doing the best they can. Could you just please Our job is to check in and we're trying to you know, keep people safe here. Just do these things and don't worry about it. We're not gonna

we're not gonna write you up or anything. What else is please? You know, please get it? No, of course not that would be reasonable, right, And even that's annoyed. I say, like, that's not even reasonable. But at least that's that's making some effort to be decent human beings under the circumstances. At least, that's making some overture to sanity and normalcy and reasonableness. But no, these bureaucrats, they're on a total power trip. They get paid, they don't care.

They're still they're gonna be ordering, you know, delivery from any number of play you know, seamless or dwor dash or whatever, from restaurants like this guy. And you know they feel like, well, one less restaurant. Who cares. We got plenty to choose from. No sympathy, no decency. This is what we're up against all across the country. Little armies of bureaucrats, little armies of imbeciles running around enacting the will of tyrants like Cuomo and Newsome and wit,

mur and Murphy and Wolf. You know, just go down the list. Idiots who are ruining businesses, who are ruining people's lives over what, oh, to protect us. They're not protecting you from COVID. It's not working. All these rules they have, it doesn't work, doesn't get it done. They can pretend otherwise, but we all see the data, We see the mandates, we can look at the timelines. It is not working. So what do they do more of it?

This is really a lesson in bureaucracy. This is really a lesson in why we have limited government, why we want to limit the government's power to inflict itself upon you. We're getting a very real schooling in that right now for people that are wondering. And you know, we used to think of, oh, the big threat is the federal government of the states will protect us. Not if you live in a blue tyrant state like New Yorker, California, and even those of you who live in Texas who

are listening to this. Texas hasn't been great on COVID, it's just been okay. You know, Florida is really the model to pursue here, and Governor de Santis has been nothing but vilified by the media. As you know, he is successful in how he's handled this, and they hate him for being successful. That has been the approach that that's the way the media handles this stuff. That's what they do. I feel terrible for the owner of Nick

the Greek Diner. I feel terrible for the woman who has some stranger and we had to cut it out. I mean, he was cursing at her. But until until we realize that our freedom is not coming back unless we fight for it, they will continue this nonsense. You're in the freedom mind. This is the Buck Sex and Show podcast. Senator Bernie Sanders has said he doesn't think the progressive movement has a big enough seat at the table with the Biden team. Do you agree with him?

I do, and this is, you know, what we have been saying and asking for. We worked diligently in trying to make sure that the people understood that it was important for us to get rid of Trump, to have someone who was going to be partner with us in governing for progress in our country, and we continue to be hopeful in having that partnership as wen on behalf of our country. Are you unhappy with any of his

contacts being holistically I am not. I think that they have been quite diligent in putting together a really well thought out transition team not progressive enough. I know that's a lot of ilhan om. Are you hearing for one day? But I thought you should. You should know that there's this complaint going on from the left of the Democrat Party or the left wing, the furthest left wing the Democrat Party that Biden is not yet hearing their voices. Let me tell you here's what I think is happening.

I think that they are setting this up in the early stages so that they can present it. They're going to present this as, Oh, it's just good old blue collar Joe. You know, Joe Biden is not as socialist. Joe Biden's not a radical. You don't have to worry about good old Joe, right that that's gonna be the way that they set this whole thing up. That's gonna be the way that they're presenting this to the public.

And then as soon as they go into the actual implementation phase of a Biden and I know, look, maybe it doesn't happen, but I mean, i'd ask any of you who are who are at this point still unwilling to unwilling to even talk about that or don't want to hear about it, what the percentage, what the likelihood is that it's not going to be a Biden administration. I'm really curious. I mean, I want to know what

people think. They believe it it's it's gonna it's fifty fifty. Still, what do they think because I think it's about one um. That doesn't mean zero, but it means it's about so you know, you got about a one on one hundred shot here of this thing turning around at best. At best and in the meantime, they're mobilized, they're moving, they're setting people up, they're putting people in place. They're going forward with this so we can be as intransigent as

we want. They're going to be swearing this guy that the system is going to swear this guy in on January twenty. That's going to happen. And I think that they're trying to present this as a moderate administration. I think they're trying to present this as, oh, you know, good old Joe. But it'll be just like the Obama administration.

Remember the Obama administration. You had this guy who came in and he was supposed to be Obama, was supposed to be a great uniter, he was going to heal the country, he was gonna stop the rise of the seas, and you know, all this really pompous rhetoric around all the great things Obama is going to do. And then you had a pretty dogmatic, you know, liberal leftist, the most left wing guy in the United States Senate before it became the president, pushing as far as he could

towards socialized medicine. And that's not the same thing as saying Obamacare is socialized medicine, but pushing as far as he conceivably could in that direction and get away with it. They wanted amnesty, they weren't able to get it at that point in time. But you know, when you talk about the left wing policy items, left wing agenda items that ilhan Omar wants, Biden is going to be pretty

close to where they are. And a lot of this stuff fifteen dollars minimum wage, Biden administration is going to want to go for that. Forgiving student debt, I think you're going to have some version of that via executive order, even from Joe Biden. I'm gonna say, all right, we're gonna wave debt for everybody who has, you know, less than who has a fifty thousand of debt ten thousand, or they'll come up with some formulation, let's just wave it away. So I don't want anyone to be fooled

while there. They want you to believe that Biden is a moderate and a centrist, and I do think at some level he will be boring. But a lot of bureaucrats that push terrible policies are boring. Doesn't mean that they aren't all so a threat doesn't mean that they aren't. Also, enormously problematic, and Omar and AOC, their whole game is going to be the left wing and the Bernie Sanders. It really is still the Sanders wing of the Democrat Party.

Their game is going to be telling everybody that they're not, you know, they're not progressive enough in the Biden White House, that they're not pushing hard of they're not radical enough. But they know that they're never going to get all the things that they want, and so their role in all of this is to play be a foil in a sense to Biden, to provide him with the oh,

I'm not as crazy as the AOC wing, I'm a moderate. Meanwhile, in reality, Biden's going to be, you know, getting them seventy five percent of the way on all these positions that AOC and the and the far left Democrats want. So that's I think that's going to be a perception versus reality gap that we're going to have to be aware of them. We're going to have to address you're you know, you're not going to have the media being honest at all about what's going on with the Biden administration.

Mean that that much is quite clear. We all are aware of that. Right. I mean, that's that's the understatement of the year. The media is not going to be covering this in any way that tells you they're not going to tell you anything with the Biden administration. The Biden administration doesn't want you to know, and we therefore are going to be the ones who have to pick up the slack and try to hold them to account and try to speak the truth about what's really going on.

And I think you're going to have a more left wing Biden administration than a lot of people even right now on the right can can foresee or will publicly say.

Fellow patriots, we made ours go up to eleven. It's time for roll Call.

Facebook dot com, slash buck Sexton Team Bucket, iHeartMedia dot com for the Roll Call reasons, and I'm on Instagram buck Sexton, please follow me there. We got stories up on buck Sexton dot com today about the agbar stepping down and about all the all the things I talked about here in the show. We put news stories up so we go to buck Sexton dot com and with it. Let us get to it, shall we, Madeline Kaiken? Actually not before we get before you to that producer, Mark.

How are you doing, buddy? How are you feeling? You're ready? You're ready for the vacation coming up here? I'm very ready. It will be a nice time to rest and relax a little bit. Yeah, I think I think a lot of sleep is going to be what people really need over the vacation. I think that sounds great. Oh yeah, I'm gonna spend a lot of it in bed. What's on the what's on the Netflix queue to watch list? I think my wife and I just agreed to be

want to watch There's a Challenger documentary out. It's about the spaceship. Yes, that looked very interesting and I've had a couple of friends tell me that it was really good, So I think that's next up on the docket. That sounds cool, im. I'd actually watched that with the Snow Princess. Yeah, it looks I saw the preview. It looked really cool and I wasn't alive during it, so it'll be kind of a history lesson for me. Yep, yep, yep. Yeah, it's amazing when you when you were in like high school,

everyone had cell phones, didn't they. Yes, I got my first time, my first cell phone in middle school. Wow. Yeah. When I was in high school, if you had a cell phone, you were like really baller, you were really cool, were like Zach Morris. Yeah, exactly, you had it looked like you were calling in an airstrike in Vietnam or something. It was a long you know, the phones were very different.

The star tack was the was the model as a motor rolla phone, I remember, And those were the first phones that you saw in really widespread usage that everyone just wanted to have a star tack. And it's funny because now they look like something from ancient times. Right. Ever since the advent of smartphones that I remember, I

had a startak. I think I had one senior year and you had to be very tight on your cell phone minutes, right, if you used if you went over, you might have had one hundred minutes a month or something, and if you went over, it was like a dollar a minute. You know, this is just this crazy world. Do you ever think about how many minutes you're on the phone anymore? No, not for this second. This used

to be a thing. I mean you could run up if you called someone long distance, or if you call the family member overseas, you could have like a three hundred dollar phone call. That was a thing that would happen. You know, absolutely insane to think about that. You think about this. Now we got Skype, we got all these you can talk for free of all over the place. We have instantaneous communication. That's that's pretty much close to free.

Certainly not paying tolls the way you used to. And you know, it was a common thing you'd go to, you'd go to places that you'd you'd say, oh, can I use the phone? They'd always say, oh is it long distance? Long distance didn't mean hey, are you gonna call like Shanghai. I mean, obviously that would count, but it was like, you're not gonna call your relatives at Ohio, are you? You know, like you couldn't do that because you're going to run up the tab. So I remember,

imagine this pandemic without cell phones and technology and stuff. Oh, I actually think and I should bring this up more often. I think that if we didn't live in a time of so much instantaneous gratification, abundance and connectivity. That if we couldn't have people doing zoom calls from their couch, ordering from one hundred different online restaurants, having anything they

want to deliver to their front door by Amazon. You know, if we didn't have all that, I think that there would be far more pushback on on what's going on. You know. Could you imagine if during the lockdown, all you could do was you had like ten channels of TV to watch. You could only cook for yourself, and you had to just I don't know, read books. Yeah, you only had the books that were on your bookshelf too.

There was nothing like a kindle, that's right, No Kindle. No, you know, you couldn't go to a library, libraries, clothes, not that I mean, I don't know who goes to libraries anymore. But I actually have a library membership because you can get free Kindle books, any books. Really. Yeah, I was unaware of that. So these are these are the changes that have happened over time. And I remember,

I remember graduated from high school. I think I think the year two thousand was the the absolute pinnacle of I think the your two thousand was the pinnacle of human technology. Convenient communication. You could reach people, but we weren't all there wasn't the social media stuff. We weren't all online all the time. You still had to go to things to buy things, you know, so you could reach somebody you needed to reach, but you had to

want to reach them. And there wasn't even really a text mess sage was around, but it wasn't wasn't the thing that it is now. I know a lot of people that don't want to respond to voicemails or even talk on the phone. They'll just respond to text. Oh yeah, if somebody calls me, I'm like, why are you calling me? Just text me? Yeah, texting. You're part of this part of this generation, you and these twenty something young uns. I swear you whipper snappers. I swear it's crazy. I'm

pushing thirty. Now, Buck, let's not go oh my gosh. Yeah, no, you're actually married too, So there's exactly all right. Let's get to it, Madelin, Right, Hello Bucket producer, Mark Buck. You gotta get on this air frier thing. Go get one now. I live out in a remote place with my extended family. This has been the best thing ever to hit the kitchen easy cooking and clean up. We have three. Now you're eating healthier without sacrificing taste. Like

you're like, you're like, you are eating healthier. They make smaller ones for one or two people as well. I listen to your show almost every day. I appreciate the information shields up shields, I hold the line, lock and loaded. Whatever else you did, say, well, thank you, Madeline, And yes, those are some of our favorite phrases. So Mark, when you use the air fryer, do you have to like, do you have to oil or salt up the food or do you just put it in um? It depends

on the recipe you have. Sometimes you'll spray like a little cooking spray in the thing just so nothing sticks. But no, you don't really have to. And obviously you see, you know, if you're making chicken season it like you normally would, you can you can do chicken in the air fryer. Yeah, you can do anything in their fryar. I told you I made you know, chicken cutlets. I made chicken cutlets in the air friar. Yeah, you just have to clean it. Does it take a really long

time to cook? No? I think it's actually a little less than the oven would be because you're cooking from all directions. So I gotta tell you the snow Princess, I may get her. I may get her a gift that's similar to an air fry. I want to say it on air because then it won't be a surprise for her. But I'm worried that she'll use it to make delicious things that will make me even chubby or over this winter than I would otherwise be. I don't

think that's a worry. Yeah, that sounds like a good thing. Well, I mean, we are kind of heading into this period here whereverone's just going to be hunkering down. You know, I hope they don't close. At least at least with the gym. There's like some hope that I can still fit into my clothing. At least with the gym, there's sub hope. But you know, they're making it hard, making it challenging these days, that's for sure. So we will continue to look at this stuff, all right, Joe Happy

Holiday's debut. Producer Mark and everyone else responsible for the Freedom Hunt radio excellence, Well you're talking to him, it's bucking, producer, Mark. I was thinking about your discussion of Joe Biden dropping the doctor, it occurs to me that, in light of how this election went, perhaps Missus Biden should be referred to as a as farce Lady Shields. Hi, thanks for all you do well. Joe points for creativity. Man. I don't think anyone's gonna necessarily call her farce lady, though.

I think that's probably not going to happen, NA gonna happen. Did you did you call did you go to it like one of those, you know, kind of hippie dippie schools mark where you called your your teachers by their first names, like college or high school high school. No, there's some places where they do that, you know, they call teachers by the first name. I'm just like, I don't know about that. I used to go with mister,

mam sir. You know that's usually the Yeah. I would go with mister whoever the teacher is, or missus whoever the teacher is their name, Yeah, yeah, you know that's the I have had people tell me that I call them I've had I've had women. If you say mam too, they they think it's like an agist thing, and I feel like, you say mam to anybody. I feel like that's a respectful way to go. My father in law once got really mad at him for calling him sir, really mad at me for calling him sir because he

said a team made it. It It made him sound old. Yeah, I've heard that before too. I think it's funny. Occasionally people will reach out to me and they'll want like their son or something, will want, you know, a family friends and will want career advice or whatever. And I was laughing when they call me sir. I'm like, no, no, no, no no, no, like you call me buck, We're gonna do it sir likes, but I call it bed in fairness, I call everybody else sir. Yeah. So now that you're

almost forty, you're gonna start getting called sir. I guess I'm gonna start getting called Oh my gosh, I am certainly doesn't help. Yeah, I'm gonna start getting called sir. I think that's real. All right, Well, let's see your Bob is up next. What's up, bob? Hey? Buck? Could you help out? I'm sorry, you could help out a lot of restaurant owners by publicizing this very simple idea.

They should put a sign on their restaurants saying indoor dining is restricted to COVID nineteen survivors and those who have been vaccinated for more than two months, the health departments would could have no objections. There are millions of people who have survived COVID and would love to have a dinner out night. Their restaurants would at least relative, would be relatively full, and their livelihoods more secure. Keep up the great work, Buck, So, Bob, I agree with

the sentiment here. I agree with what you are saying. But you know, the truth here is that they will not allow they will not allow it to be an honor system. You know, they're not going to say, Okay, you claim that you got vaccinated, so you because there will be people who lie about that. Obviously, it would be very tempting for a lot of people not to lie about it, who don't believe in all this crap that we're being made to do all the time. So

they're not going to give you that ability. They're gonna want everyone to mask until everyone is not forced to mask anymore, for example. That's going to be the way this goes. And so your idea for letting people who have survived COVID have more access to dining. It makes sense from a science and medicine perspective, but remember this is being pushed by politics. This isn't being pushed by just a sober look at the data and what is fact school, what is accurate That there are a lot

of political considerations coming into all of this. So that's that's what I would say about the restaurant idea you bring you. But I appreciate you writing Bob, I, I thank you for sharing your thoughts on this. When we'll continue to try to come up with things. I mean, I do believe that there's going to be some movement I've said this before where people who get vaccinated will wear like a yellow you know, wrist band or something that's so so that then they will And you'd say, well,

it shouldn't come to that. Yeah, but if you're vaccinated, don't you want to not be harassed in public, if you don't want to wear a mask anymore? I mean, shouldn't there be some benefit for people that that, at least according to the system and the science, are at basically no risk anymore of getting or spreaded COVID spreading COVID. But maybe other people are going to say even people that oppose these mandates and lockdowns will say, well, we are.

We should all be in it together when we are free of it too, And there shouldn't be some tiered system where some people, you know, can get away with this and other and others can't. I don't know. It's very complicated. There's a lot going on here. You're in the freedom hunt. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. All right, We've got Ken writing in with more roll call here. Even with unlimited power, there's one thing that Democrats absolutely cannot and will not do. They will not

cut spending. They would rather bankrupt America and blame it on Republicans. Can they will not cut spending. That's true. I think that we've got to be honest about this, this reality that the chance of Democrats getting really bullied or pushed around at all based on spending arguments, I think that's gonna that's not gonna happen. You're not gonna

be able to convince democrats now. After look, Trump spent a lot of money and we we we have entered a period here where the GOP isn't about limiting government and spending so much as it's doing the spending that they want to do. And that's that's just an honest

assessment of it. I mean, we can try to talk around this as much as we want, we can try to get into other things, but the GOP, at the end of the day, has spent so much money and has has spent so many trillions above even the expected deficit this year that we're just we're not going to make any headway on this when we're not going to make any progress attacking the Democrats on being big spenders.

So yeah, that's that's what we're facing here. And as for bankrupting America, I mean, my concern about where the country's finances are going is that we let's say we get past this COVID thing, and then everyone realizes as we're getting closer to getting out of it, that there is a tremendous amount of financial dress that has not

yet been worked out. There's a lot of there are a lot of people out there who you would think you would think would be able to maybe get get ahead of this and get past this, but you're going to find out no. Actually, landlords even you know, are going to be so behind because of misrent payments. Individuals are facing eviction in January, as you know at large numbers. Well, you know, I know that we think of landlords usually

as being able to do pretty well. And you know, landlords are the the privileged class, and that's true to extent. But you know, if you own property, you're renting it out to people, and you haven't been getting those checks, you've been covering that mortgage, maybe you need that money to pay your bills. So what happens to Wallace? I think there's a lot of financial pain, a lot of dislocation that's coming that people may not really be fully prepared for, and that could that could be tough, that

could really hurt the the broader economy. What happens to all this accumulated debt. I mean, if the government just continues to try to pay everyone's bills, at some point, we've got to assume that that's going to have negative consequences. At some point, just having the government stepping in for a huge chunk of the economy that's been shut down, it's gonna have negative impact, gonna have negative effect. I

think I think that's where we are. Kyle, next up here, Buck, I completely agree with your take on addressing Jill Biden as doctor. I'm married to someone with a PhD in an actual scientific field from a nationally reputable institution, and I can confirm from her that using the term doctor is relegated to a professional setting, as in something you address a superior as a sign of respect you added into your signature block at the end of a work email.

Missus Biden being addressed as doctor in a casual setting comes off as highly pretentious or something someone with a low sense of self worth does to elevate themselves in their own mind. I think I know what missus Biden's PhD stands for, piled high and deep. Kyle, look at you, you cheeky fellow. You Yeah. I think that my thoughts on this are clear. I was on this train. I've been on this train for years. I don't think you should retain titles when you no longer have a certain job.

And I even slip up on this sometimes, but I don't think you should be mayor when you're no longer mayor. I don't think you should be congressman or speaker when you're no longer either of those things. And I damn sure it don't think that you should be referred to as a doctor with your PhD is like something that you cut off the back of a cereal box. Yeah, you look at me with my PhD. Nah. Sorry, I'm not gonna cut it. Please go check out bucksxon dot
