the pandemic. What we're going to find out is that Faucci, based on the truth, based on facts and numbers and reality, Faucci is somebody that is worse in how he responded to the pandemic than even Cuomo and knew some of some of these idiot governors that did a terrible job.

We'll get to that, but you know, Flag season is here, folks, and I've been telling you about our friends at Allegiance Flag Supply, a great American small business where the founders started the company because they were tired of buying American flags that got tangled up and just worn out really quickly when they're out on display, and they really believe strongly that the American flag should be made here in America. You might be saying to yourself, A flag is a flag,

isn't it? Buck? No, my friends, if you've had an American flag in front of your house and you've ever experienced the constant tangling around poles or the quick deterioration because of wind, rain, sun, this is where American flags from Allegiance Flag Supply stand out.

to a Freedom of Information Act request. I highly recommend you dive into some of them yourself if you get a moment, or just listen to this show, I'll do it for you because what you'll see is a lot of what we've been told, including by Fauci himself, from the beginning of the pandemic, was not really reflective of the conversation going on behind the scenes. A lot of what was going on here involved things like telling colleagues that retail masks don't really do very much if anything.

He was aware there was a possible lab leak. There was some talk of gain and function possibility in terms of the lab leak theory. Son, here's an example. You know, now, the truth starts to come out over a year into this pandemic of the guy who was elevated to be essentially in charge without any meaningful oversight, without anybody being able to say, hold on a second, who is this little clown. You know here I am. I'm I'm just a humble doctor who happens to have almost stalin like

authority overall of American society. And you know, maybe I have to be on the cover of in Style magazine. Maybe I've got to have a book deal, which we now know he's got a book coming out as well, Expect the Unexpected. Isn't it such a clever title? I come up with all the best things, all the best titles. This is an email in February of twenty twenty that I think you should you should know about. This is this is real Freedom of Information Act request from Anthony

Fauci National Institute of Health. And it's to a woman named Silvia. And here's what he says, Sylvia. Quote. Masks are really for infected people to prevent them from spreading infection of people who are not infected, rather than protecting uninfected people from acquiring infection. The typical mask you buy in the drug store is not really effective in keeping out virus, which is small enough to pass through material. It might provide some slim benefit in keeping out droplet droplets.

If someone coughs or sneezes on you, I do not recommend that you wear a mask, particularly since you are going to a very low risk location. I'm sorry. Does that Does that seem like what we've been told along here about this? Does that seem like what the storyline has been Ah, it's small enough. The virus is small enough to pass through the mask material. This is from

doctor Anthony Fauci in February of twenty twenty. If you've said that at any point in the past year, a guy's the virus just goes through this mesh, it doesn't actually protect you to wear this mask. And ninety five masks give some protection. And I've always said that, but cloth masks, bandannas handkerchiefs a joke, absurd. That's what Fouci was saying. But you weren't allowed to say this before.

In fact, Harvard epidemiologist Martin Coldorf I believe is his name, had his account on Twitter suspend it for saying that masks really don't do very much. You weren't allowed to say this. There are so many of these emails that I think are important for you to see. Here's one

this comes from. This is a tweet from Sarah Westwood at the DC examiner Peter Dazak, who is deeply involved both in Wuhan coronavirus research and in missing in the public about the likelihood of a lab league, thanked Fauci for helping dispel the myths around COVID origins and blamed Fox News for targeting his grants. It's it's amazing, isn't it, it says from Anthony Fauci to Peter Dazak Tony, as the R zero one grant publicly targeted by Fox News

reporters at the presidential press briefing last night. I just wanted to say a personal thank you on behalf of our staff and collaborators for standing up and stating that the scientific evidence supports a natural origin for COVID nineteen from a bat to human spillover, not a lab release. So, you know, thanks so much, Fauci, those bad people at Fox News. This is what's going on behind the scenes. These are the actual conversations that are going on. These

are the things that are determining health policy. But here's my favorite of all these emails. I mean, certainly the mask thing the science. You gotta listen to the science, Fauci says, you have to mask up. Here's one from Christian Anderson on Friday, February thirty first, twenty twenty, to doctor Anthony Fauci. He writes, Hi, Tony, Yes, I saw this earlier, and both Eddie and myself are quoted in it.

It's a great article. The problem is our phylogenetic analyzes aren't able to answer whether the sequences are unusual at individual residues, except if they are completely off on a philogenetic tree. The virus looks totally normal, and the close clustering with bats suggest that bats serve as the reservoir. The unusual features of the virus make up a really small part of the genome genome, so one has to look really closely at all the sequences to see that

some of the features potentially look engineered. Oh so this was in January of twenty twenty. Some aspects of the virus, according to a top researcher here, did look like they had been engineered. But how is it that we had a whole year of being told it was a conspiracy theory? How is it that we spend all of this time being led to believe that anybody who had questions about mask effectiveness, Remember You weren't even allowed to say things like masks barely work if they work at all, which

is obviously true. Oh no, they work, Fauci says, they work. Okay, how many times did I ask you on this show how well do they work? If they can't tell you, then where is the science they're basing this on. If they're guessing if it's a good instinct, that's not the same as being able to prove it. That's not the same as scientific fact. That's where so much of this just falls apart. That's where it becomes so very clear that there was a lot of politics involved in these decisions.

This was not a straightforward situation. This was not just whatever the science said. That's that's what was relayed to the public. Enormously consequential and highly politicized decision making from

doctor Fauci. And another part of this that I think is so interesting is all the emails you see in which Fauci's talking about you know, this celebrity or that media outlet wants to do a profile on him, wants to do an interview with him, wants and we know this guy loved it because he's on TV every five

minutes vanity is a human constant. Unfortunately, scientists are no way immune to it, and in fact, many scientists, I think are more susceptible to it because they've gone through most, if not all, of their lives being nerds who don't get the appreciation they deserve, at least in their own minds. So the moment that they get a taste of fame, the moment they have power, you expect that, because they're scientists, they're going to wield that judiciously. Of course, not some will,

very few will. Most would be just like Fauci, someone who all of a sudden found himself going from really unremarkable bureaucrat to the most powerful and recognizable person in America with the possible exception of Donald Trump when he was president, and even that sometimes felt like Fauci, Fauci was able to override him. Fauci was critical in delivering the presidency to Joe Biden. So he is certainly a

hero to the left. But when you look at the email correspondence, when you have a better understanding of who this guy is, you can see that he was part of crafting a narrative. It was not all about facts, It was not all about science, and they hid a lot of this from their In their discussions in front of the public and in the pronouncements from on high, they got a lot wrong, and they hit a lot when it came to information that went against their so

called consensus. Fauci should be held to account for this, but you know it will end up happening. He will go off into the sunset, rich and famous and a hero to Democrats because they take care of their ideological warriors. And that's exactly what Fauci has been, a failure in the pandemic, a failure to keep American safe and to

speak difficult truths and to take unpopular but scientifically based positions. No, he did what the left Democrat mob, what the collectives, what the quadruple maskers wanted him to do, at every step of the way. Good for Fauci, bad for America. And that's what you see in these emails. And yes, I think a lot of people have egg on their face. This was an idea that it was first put forward

by Mike Pompeio, Secretary of State Donald Trump. And look, some things may be true even if Donald Trump said them, and there was because Trump was saying so much else that was just out of control. And because he was, you know, making a frankly racist appeal talking about kung flu and the China virus, his notion that put forward that this may have or that he said flatly that this came from that lab, was widely dismissed. But actually there's some real reason. We don't know. By the way,

we still don't know. We absolutely don't know. But now serious people are saying and he's a serious inquiry. Wow, serious people. Huh, serious people were saying it all along. But he lets you in there. That's I don't know. ABC News is Jonathan Carl formerly a Fox News I believe he let you in on what the corporate media's secret is here, not really much of a secret. They

were opposed to this because Trump was for this. They were opposed to this because it was damaging to Donald Trump to have the whole media saying he lies, he's lying, he's wrong. It didn't come from a lab. So that was their motivation, the truth being accurate. And this is not a thing of minor consequence. Don't you think it's important to know? Isn't isn't the ultimate test and trace finding out where this outbreak began and how it happened.

Isn't that more important than any other test and trace we can really do? How can you prevent the next outbreak if you don't know where this one came from or what happened. Ah? Yes, this does really matter, doesn't It's It's not just something that you can cast aside as scoring political points. But there's another part of this that I find so curious and people are catching onto this.

We're also told that there was a opposition to the lab league theory because of concerns of racism, that if the virus escape from a Chinese lab, there would be more racism against Chinese people, Chinese Americans, Asian Americans, whatever, that everybody in the AAPI community would be at greater risk. Journals really believe this. But to give you a sense of how superficial they're thinking is journos believe this without

stopping to think. Hold on a second, why is it gonna create racist backlash if people think that this happened as a result of scientific experiments in a lab. But not if people believe, as was the official narrative for almost a year, that we had millions of people die and billions of people infected because some Chinese guys were drinking bat soup or eating pangol and kebabs. Why why would one result in racism but the other would not. I'm just that the thinking here doesn't seem to make

any sense, does it. I think it's much more It's much easier to wrap your head around an accident at a lab then it is for people to think, oh, well, if people in China want to just eat exotic pets in highly unsanitary conditions in these markets, you know that's fine, that's a cultural tradition or whatever. No, this never made sense, this theory or this this approach to it. But this

is This is what they've said. And there's serious argument out there right now that when we look further into this, we're going to find that there was human recklessness, not just human error, but human recklessness at the very heart of the COVID pandemic. Think about what that will do. You want to talk about losing faith in institutions, I've already lost a lot of faith in the bureaucratic medical institutions out there, places like the CDC and the NIH.

I've lost faith in anybody who's a Blue Check MD, who's been out there cheerleading for lockdowns and masks all along because other people were saying so, and then the moment that there were BLM protests, it all changed. Well, BLM protests are about saving lives, so we got to have those, even though we're at the time they were saying human gatherings of any kind were completely unsafe. Lives

at stake. That's what they told us. But what you've seen here as well is that there's a final recognition among anybody who is paying attention that there's a mass mental illness from COVID, that there is a pandemic PTSD, there's COVID nineteen derangement syndrome from people that have never been sick, and many of them are vaccinated, and they still go around acting like they should be absolutely terrified of this. And I see this here in New York City.

I see it every day. There are still countless people walking along the streets who are massed up outside. So if they're worried about the virus, I have to assume they're vaccinated. And if they're vaccinated and outside alone, walking in fresh air and worried about this virus, they really should be worried about a piano falling off a rooftop because the movers made a mistake somewhere and crushing them

like a cartoon character. Because it's about that risky. I cannot guarantee you that if you walk down the streets of New York City, a brick won't fall off the facade and hit you in the head. I can't guarantee you that a a moving company isn't going to let a piano slip out the window and crush you. But I know that you shouldn't worry about that. I know that if you go through your life with that concern,

you're just really stealing from yourself. And it's even worse because these panicked lockdowners also want to steal from you. They want to steal your time, your peace of mind, your productivity. This all comes with a cost. Doctor Scott Atlas, formerly of the Trump COVID Task Force, had this to say, play as far as I know, there's no evid that the vaccines don't cover the variance. I think even doctor Fauci said that, you know, so, I think there's a lot of issues here. We're not going to go for

a zero COVID world or a zero risk world. If we do, then you better live in your lock your doors and never come out again. I mean, that's just fear irrational and in fact, the fear, the fear inciting fear in search of zero COVID risk is so harmful and it just indicates so many things wrong, including it totally undermines the trust in public health leadership. And this has really been devastating to that I'm not sure what's going to happen the next time we need experts. It's

all true. People should have tremendous skepticism about anyone who holds themselves up as a as a public health expert based on what we've seen. This is one of the legacies of Fauciism, those who come forward who say they know and they don't know. They say it's science, and it's really not. And then we find out what they call science as actually politics that has a substantial impact. That's a reminder to everyone you better beware when someone

accumulates too much power and has no accountability. Just because they wear a lab coat doesn't mean it's all going to be just fine.

According to the Intelligence Community, terrorism from white supremacy is the most lethal

threat to homeland today, not visish white supremacist terrorists. Terrorism. You've got to be on the lookout for it all the time. It's all over the place any moment. Now, Now, are there white supremacists? Yes? Are there white supremacist terrorists? Yes? Are they really a threat worthy of the kind of attention and focus that they get from the Biden administration, from the current federal government, from this regime, No, they are not. Why do they focus so much on this

because it creates a climate of of weaponized association of sorts. Right, you weaponize the fact that there are right wingers who are in some way connected through this tenuous ideological thread to some of the extreme far right white nationalist types out there. Right, they say, well, you're on the right.

So this is basically saying, well, if you're a mainstream Democrat who's been voting Democrat for fifty years, and you know, you're a union worker in Ohio who's Catholic and votes Democrat, you're the same as an antifa lunatic who tries to burn down at federal courthouse or burned down at church, right, the exact same thing. That's what they try to do.

They try to paint with this intentionally the broadest possible brush and sweep everybody in the right in this morally evil and from a security perspective, imminent threat of the white nationalist terrorists. This is also why you have such a focus on the January sixth insurrection. That's why they call it an insurrection when it was not that. There was no There was no serious threat or even serious plum to overthrow the United States government by force. This

is insane, all right. If one guy with a cart that says I am now the President of the United States, you know, walks it through Times Square and then tries to wrestle a police officer to the ground, that's not an insurrection, right, There are limits on the level of absurdity we will allow the other side to get away with in their description of things. It was a riot, something the left is not only comparable with and engages with on a regular basis, but often celebrates and justifies.

We say, no, the riot was bad, breaking the laws bad. They should not have done that. They should be punished. I don't think they should be held in solitary confinement for months on end under the trumped up, pardon the phrase, allegation that they were really a mortal threat to the the United States government. I keep reading all these news headlines. They say, the lethal riot on January sixth, the deadly riot on January sixth. The only person who died from

the riot was a rioter. Nobody else died from the riot. But they keep repeating this. All right, having a heart attack two days later is not a riot induced violent death. That's not the same thing. But they keep saying it. Why because they need this. They have to create a story for themselves here of the righteous left wing of

the Democrats restoring decency and normalcy to America. Keep in mind, they're restoring decency by defining everybody who does not agree with their agenda as being evil and worthy of suppression, worthy of the force of the state being brought to bear against them. This is not a recipe for a healthy political climate. And that's putting it mildly. But this is what we are up against. Terrorism from white supremacy is the most lethal threat to the homeland today. That's

what they say. Look at the way that the Democrat mindset, that Democrat left was always underplaying and defining away and trying to trying to minimize the threat of Islamic terrorism in America, which for years and years was the biggest, the biggest terrorist threat we face. It's obvious. They used to put up these graphics. I remember I was at CNN once they did this, the number of people killed by white supremacist terrorists versus the number of people killed

by Islamic terrorists. And they would start after nine to eleven, so they wouldn't include nine to eleven. They would cut that out and say, see, look at this, and then I would have to sit there and say, okay, we'll hold on a second. How many Muslim Americans are there in this country. Let's it's roughly it's roughly five to ten million, something like that. It's two or three percent

of the population. Maybe along those lines. How many white males are there in America It's a very large chunk of the population by comparison, or just how many white people or in America it's it's still a majority of the country. So now you're talking about over one hundred

and fifty million people instead of a few million. So when when one group I used to have to do this analysis, I would argue with people at see ANN because they would say, well, the threat for years, even when isis was doing mass casualty attacks even when we were we were using a multi billion dollar anti terrorism security apparatus Post nine to eleven to deal almost exclusively if jee hottest terrorism perhaps a better way of describing

a better term for it, gee hottest terrorism. And when you're talking about roughly one percent of the US population that was responsible for being a community from which the largest percentage of terrorism came from at that at that period in time, right ices, So when you look at the proportionality of this, comparing it to to you know, right wing white America, well you're you're comparing something that is all automatically a much a smaller percentage of the population,

much smaller group of the population comprising a much larger percentage of the terrorist threat. That that was the debate during the War on Terror years that we'd have to go through. And now I look at this and I say, Okay, white supremacist terrorism, what really is? What really is the threat are they so concerned with Are they trying to stop someone from let's say, the the Charleston church shooter, that guy that that was a white supremacist terrorist. That's

that's exactly what we're talking about. Here they're going to stop that. Is that the the focus of the federal government or is it on the January sixth Commission and just running around and calling everybody white supremacist, anybody who supported Donald Trump, anybody who's a Republicid who had questions about the election, or who you know, pushed against fought against COVID lockdown's you know, last night I saw on

Tucker's show. This is just a side note, but I saw on Tucker's show you had the numbers, the statistics for vaccine hesitancy, and we have all the major media networks. They're saying it's a it's a right wing male, white male phenomenon to not get vaccinated, when sure enough, the BYPOC community in this country comprises what we're talking about. Latinos and African Americans have the lowest vaccination rate still.

But yeah, you go, you see on TV all you hear about is though, you know, the white male Republicans who won't get vaccinate it because these these are narratives, stories that are not true, that make people who believe certain things feel better about themselves and their beliefs. That's what democrats, that's what the left needs to hear, and so now it's all about, you know, white supremacy, and everyone's a white supremacist running around. This is what the

left says. Remember, Joe Biden is supposed to be the great fighter against white supremacy all of a sudden. Really he's a rich, old white guy who does whatever advances his interest. But I'm sure he's deeply concerned about communities of color. This is the whole This is the whole storyline. This is what they do, and we hear about this all the time. But they also talk about the existential

threat of climate change. These people are nuts. No normal well adjusted American is walking around worried about the existential threat of climate change or worried about the threat of white supremacist terrorism or another insurrection against the government. But these are constants in the way the Democrat Party talks about life in America today. There's an obsession with race, and really with creating racial discord among Democrats and exploiting

it for their own purposes. Remember, if the black community did not vote over ninety Democrat, they wouldn't be able to win presidential election. So the stakes here are very high. They'll say whatever they have to say the Democrat apparatus, Joe Biden his administration. They'll say whatever they have to say for power, because that is the motivating principle. Everything else is just window dressing. And the data shows young black entrepreneurs are just as capable of succeeding given the

chance as white entrepreneurs are. But they don't have lawyers. They don't have they don't have accountants, but they have great ideas. Does anyone doubt this whole nation be better off from the investments those people making. I promise you that's why I set up a National Small Business Administration that's much broader, because they're going to get those loans. They don't have lawyers, they don't have accountants, Biden says

of black entrepreneurs. That's not true. So I just why is it okay that Joe Biden can say something so demonstrably and obviously false on this issue and the media just goes along with it. It's just not accurate at all. I mean, it's obviously not accurate. There's no debate about this. There are plenty of black entrepreneurs who have access to and use lawyers and accountants, and very good ones at that.

So what is Biden really saying it's just blather, it's just handering, it's pandering from an old, out of touch white guy. The Democrat Party is propping up like its weekend at Bernie's presidency. That's what's going on. But you won't ever hear that from the media. Why well, because they understand, they know what the game is here, they

understand what's really going on. In fact, if you're wondering, I mean Barack Obama came out and said it straight up recently that Joe Biden, mister moderate, amtrack Joe from Scranton, his purpose is to finish the job. As Obama says that the Obama administration started or got going for eight years, that this really is Joe Biden is the third term of Obama, just without Obama actually living in the White House.

Here's the former president Obama sanging himself play eleven. And I think that what we're seeing now as Joe Biden and the administration are essentially finishing the job. And I think it'll be an interesting test. Ninety percent of the folks who were there were there in my administration. They are continuing and building on the policies we talked about whether it's affordable character our climate change agenda and Paris Piece Accords and figuring out how do we improve the

ladders to mobility through things like community colleges. And if, as I think they will be, they're successful over the next four years, I think that will have an impact. A classic Obama ism too here. You know, if they're successful, that will have an impact. Oh my gosh, it's so brilliant. Look what you litto. If they win the game, they will probably be victorious. I mean, oh my gosh. Obama's a genius. It's amazing. I know this is what we always hear. But what he says about how many people

this is just the Obama administration without Obama. That's what you've got. That's what you've got here with this Democrat Democrat apparatus. That's why I refer to it as an apparatus. It's really not a job about Joe Biden. It's about the people who are around him. It's about those who are running these federal agencies and and pushing the agenda

of this white House bed behind closed doors. Also on this point about systemic racism, and remember, you know, the white supremacist terrorism is just the the worst manifestation of the systemic racism that we are to believe is has infected every aspect of American society. Is everywhere you eat, every institution, every agency of government. There's there's systemic racism everywhere where is? Where is it? How is it? What?

How do we deal with it all? Don't don't ask any questions, just shut up and listen to the diversity and inclusion lecture that's America today. Here's an Ebraham Kendy. Want to find a racism expert. This guy is supposed to be one of the great experts on racism. It's made a whole career out of it. Here's what it sounds like when he tries to explain at a conference what racism is. Play three. You talked about the importance of defining racism. But unless I missed it, which is possible,

I didn't hear your personal definition. Is there is there one that you would offer us, like, how do you define racism? Sure? So racism. I would define it as a collection of racist policies that lead to racial inequity that are substantiated by racist ideas. Sure, a collection of racist policies that lead to racial inequity. That are substantiated by racist ideas, and anti racism is pretty simple using

the same terms. Anti racism is a collection of anti racist policies leading to racial anybody want to take guests equity that are substantiated by anti racist ideas. Ah, so you understand that the definition is it's whatever he says it is, because all those other terms, well, what does that mean. What's a racist policy, what's racial equity, What's

what's a you know, just racial outcome. It's all subject to not just interpretation, to the whims of the individuals, the high priests of the critical race theory religion, if you will, they get to determine what this really means in practice. And that's the whole point. This is about power. What is what is a standard definition of racism, one that people can understand and people could use to guide

their own actions in their own lives. Racism is thinking about or treating people differently, good or bad, because of their race. It is immoral to make distinctions based upon skin color. It is immoral to have different legal or personal treatment of an individual because of their of the pigment in their skin. It's immoral, it's wrong. That's a definition of racism that also can be meaningful to people in terms of how to guide their own actions and

how to act in their lives. What Ibraham Kennedy gave you is do what I say, or else you're a racist. Support the policies I want, or else you're a racist, and thus the whole game is given away. We're a host of a three hour show, Meeka and I about politics. But I mean, it's not good for this country to be talking about politics twenty four hours. Say that's not who we are fighting about it. How are you even

talking about politics obsessing about politics? People looking at MSNBC or Fox twenty four hours today or CNN twenty four hours a day. I feel like, you know, then to Ferris Bueller, what are you still doing it? Go out? Like do something? Get out? You know? I tell you sometimes even Morning Joe has something worthwhile to say. And I will admit that to you. Now, no one's watching anything twenty four hours a day. I know that's intentional exaggeration.

I'm not quibbling with that, but I'm just saying, obviously that's the case. But I think that it is an important reminder here because we've gone through a period of time where we have been cut off from actual human contact, where we've been consuming I think, so much more information media than at any other time, and have more options in the consumption of information media. You know, pick the pick who you're going to give your time to, and

guard your time. One of the most important lessons we all learn, I think as we get older, is how how necessary it is to protect your time and not to I mean, I have some things that I always say to myself and I tell to those who are close to me. Don't let the unimportant affect the important. Right.

This is, you know, don't don't take a you know, a meeting with somebody who is going to make your boss think you're being disloyal for having that meeting just because you think you're going to be a nice guy by taking the meeting, right, you know, don't allow the unimportant to affect the important. But also that that's the thing that I often say, I think, and it's true

in relationships. You know, don't take a phone call from your ex wife if it or from your ex husband if your your current husband is going to say, well, well why are you talking to that guy? You know, don't allow things like that to creep up in your life. It's very easy to do so. And not with that, with with having good intentions too. Oh, I just needed to I didn't want someone to feel like I was

being rude. I can't tell you how many times in my life I just I made a decision because I didn't want to be rude, and then I ended up being more rude in a sense, we're more problematic, created an issue out of that desire to be polite not hurt someone's feelings. Okay, I'll you know, I'll hear them out, or i'll take this call, or i'll have this meeting or whatever it may be. And then I have a

problem later. You know, Then all of a sudden, I got an issue because I'm trying to be a You can try to be a good guy or gal and end up making mistakes that are much bigger than you anticipate. So you've got to remember. And that's why I have that rule, don't let the unimportant effect the important. And then another one is just learning, And this is I know I got off on a tangent there, but learning to protect your time. The one thing you can never

get back is your time. The one thing that you cherish more certainly as you get older, as you have a more of a perspective on it is, how valuable your time is to you. And it's possible right now without even thinking about it. I think, more than in any period in human history, did just waste and waste and waste more time with all these these quick, fixed attention grabbers. They oh, you know, turn, here's another flashing light, here's another thing to click on, here's another Some of

that is good, some of that is worthwhile. I work in news media. I think news and politics are important, but it's all within it's all within a context, it's all within a framework of you gotta make sure that you turn off. Don't you don't have a news channel in the background all day. I don't think that's a good idea. No matter what the news channel is, don't have it in the background all day. Maybe if you're at the office and you're in the workplace, that's one thing.

But I mean when you're at home, get away from it. Shut it down, Shut it down, Think about your life. Think about who you are, what you're doing, your relationships that matter to you. You know, we've now finally, I think, as a nation we're realizing, Okay, COVID's over. Basically, it's never really over, right. It's like saying, well, you know, even after the Great Influenza pandemic of nineteen eighteen, there were still flus. There's still people that died from a flu,

but the pandemic was over. The COVID pandemic is in this country over. There's still COVID and there's still people who will die from but it's it's not a pandemic anymore. And for some of us, we've been living pretty normal lives for a while. But for others, they're finally waking up to oh, now they have to make decisions and determinations about how they spend their time. Now there's actual human interaction that they're going to have to manage and

deal with. And for some people, I think that's going to be a challenge. That's going to be an issue. It's a lot easier to maintain relationships with people when they're just in the superficial realm of digital communications, when you have to give somebody your presence and your attention, physical presence and actual attention, not multitasking eight people in different text messages at once and sending out four emails

and all this that feels very different. So just remember that it is a precious thing when you This is why I always say it all of you, that you spend your time with me. You listen to this show. I understand that there's there's quite literally tens of thousands of podcasts you could listen to the Deal with Politics, and those are the ones that people have heard of. I mean, there's over a million podcast total in the Apple Store, just to give you a sense of it.

But I know that if you're listening to me, you're you're making the choice not to listen to a lot of other shows. And so that's a precious thing because I don't I don't recommend spending four or eight or ten hours of your day in the news realm entity capacity, and I think that's become far too easy for us. And you can almost create an esc apeism of despair through news, which is not healthy psychologically. A lot of people in America around the world created an escapism of

pandemic despair. Now, obviously they're not escaping the pandemic by doing this, No, the opposite. They immersed themselves emotionally and psychologically, so deeply in it that they block out. You know, why haven't I talked to my brother in five years? You know why why haven't I visited you know, my elderly grandparents or parents in six months? Well during the pandemic. I know there are reasons for that, but you know what I'm saying in general, Why why haven't I worked

harder at my job? Why haven't I lost those twenty pounds I've been trying to lose for the last ten years. You know, you can start to use the distraction of the world collapsing all around you through news which is going to take a focus on the negative as a means of avoiding what really matters to you in your day to day life and what you can control. So yes, spend your time with me, listen to this show, and

then you know, that's it. Maybe maybe one or two news shows if you want at night before you go to bed, and you know, a scan of a newspaper

headlines if you will, But that's it. Don't get dragged into this, because I do believe that there is a real mental health crisis in this country that's being made worse by social media that's being made that has been made much worse by the lockdowns and then just by this Democrat machinery of constant hysteria out there about the insurrection and about all the white supremacist terrorists and the institutional racism and the killer cops and all the you know,

all these just completely exaggerated threats to America, to Americans in their day to day lives. Um, it's it's easy to start to feel down about it. And I know for a lot of you who got used to having there was a certain look. It was fun when Trump was president. He was putting out entertaining tweets and he was engaging, and it was like never a dull moment in America with the Trump presidency going on. Now there's

just something depressing about a Biden presidency. I mean a lot of things that are depressing about it, but we can all feel that, and in the media focus on the negative all the time, not about the Biden presidency. Of course, so we're depressed because Biden is the president, and then the media wants us to think they're all these other horrible things going on that we have to be so focused on that aren't caused by the Biden administration.

This is just my appeal to all of you. Take time to relax your mind and be with people who matter and do it every day. Relax your mind, however, that is, get away from these things, get away from the fixed sation on left right, left right, and you know all the challenges of politics today, and then jump back into the fray with me rested, ready refreshed. You know, it's it's about striking a balance here. So you know, I trash a lot of the nonsense that said on

Morning Joe, and rightfully so. But I will tell you when it comes to establishing some kind of a balance in your life and keeping news in its proper place. News and information have a They have a piece of your day to day, but you control how much it is and you keep it there. You don't allow it to start creeping into you know, everything becomes political and

everything is just a constant information loop. Because that that addiction to the despair of news can become its own escape mechanism from the things that are important in your life. Right as at some level of escapism can be good, but you don't want to escape into despair as a means of and this is what democrats do with things like climate change. Oh, it's a catastrophic It's going to

end the world. It's existential. I guess I don't have to think about the fact that I'm a huge phony who pretends to care about, you know, the Black Lives Matter or movement, and really I just wanted to put something on my Instagram page. But oh, I don't have time to think about that, because the existential threat of climate change just keeps me up at night. You see

what I mean. I don't have time to think about how poorly I treat my coworkers are employees, because I'm too busy being worried about about, you know, fighting systemic racism and police departments across the country by putting a few hashtags on my Twitter account, right, Yeah, you see

how that works. Central to the Democrat ethos, some of these battles of what the left is doing and wokeis you know, it's effectively cultural Marxism, and so you can have theoretically a successful ethic economy, but if the under opinions of the culture are just being torn apart, I don't think that that's a society that's going to be very, very successful over the long term. It's important to engage in the culture War. It's not enough to just try to let everyone do their own thing and oh, people

will just do what they do. This is, I think one of the failings of the modern conservative movement in America. Until recently, there was a large contingent of people who thought of themselves as conservatives, who believed that the way forward was to create a neutral space where nobody would really push for a set of ideas. They would just say, we'll leave it open to whatever ideas. We're not going

to try to involve ourselves in school curriculum. We're just going to assume that the people involved in this will do so in good faith. And we're not going to try to put our stuff in front of kids. We're not going to try to get our classes and reading lists to be standardized in schools. Will allow the teachers and the teachers unions and the Department of Education and so on and so forth. That was the approach, and it has resulted in critical race theory taught in schools

now all across the country. It has resulted in and increasingly obviously left wing and Marxist Democrat Party, and we finally see that they're willing to shut down our side through whatever means they can, because they're seeking not just political but cultural dominance too, And I think you could argue that the left in many ways is closer to cultural dominance than it has been in certainly my lifetime. You see what they've done online, with big tech, with

entertainment media, with sports. I mean, if I had told you that you had to be a woke to be a professional athlete ten or fifteen years ago, you probably would have laughed. Now you don't. Sports are a great American pasttime. If I had told you fifteen years ago that you would have top athletes kneeling during the national anthem because of police violence in America, really that would have seemed outlandish to you. And yet this is where we are. And Governor de Santis understands that it's not

enough to merely say that you oppose these things. You must take action where you can against critical race theory teaching in schools, against companies that are censoring conservative ideas, and doing everything that they can to make sure that only left wing perspectives are allowed in the public square. Otherwise we just lose and they keep gaining ground. The other side, the left reaches its pinnacle of power, and

then it perhaps is too late. I mean, you can have societies where you have one party rule and there are even if there's a technical democracy, there is really only one political party that has its say, is able to do anything, and that's the Democrats plan. I believe

in this country, that's what they're trying to do. That's where they're trying to take us to be the dominant political and cultural force and to be able to make sure that it really just turns into a discussion going forward of how woke, how left wing, how socialist the country will be, not whether those are even worthy ideas in the first place. I think quite clearly they are not.

DeSantis has gotten a lot of attention because he signed this bill that bans biological males from playing in women's sports in colleges, and the NC doble A has responded in predictable fashion by saying, oh, well, we're not going to have our tournaments there. Well, DeSantis has learned the gnome lesson of don't bend the knee right away. Don't say you're a fighter and then bend the knee to woke corporations or nonprofits like the NC double A the whole point is you have to be willing to fight.

It's not just rhetorical action that we want, it's real usage of power. And DeSantis has said he's going to protect women's sports in the state of Florida and not going to bend the knee to the NCAA or any other company or corporation for that matter, play ten. I think as these bills were going through various legislatures, I remember the NCAA put out a statement saying any state that enacts this, we're not going to hold events there. And so I called the speaker the house in Florida

and I said, did you hear what they said? And he's like yeah. I said, we definitely got to get this done. It can't be cowed by these organizations, or particularly by woke corporations from doing the right thing. And so my view was throughout this whole time, we have to protect our girls. It is discriminatory to force them

to compete against biological males. And so if the price of having a tournament is that I have to deny equal opportunity two hundreds of thousands of young girl and women athletes throughout Florida, I am much more willing to stand with the girls and to hell with these events, to hell with these NCABA events. He's absolutely right. I

keep saying it. I don't know how it could be anybody other than RHN decantists from the Republican side in twenty twenty four, I think we'd be making a mistake from what I've seen right now, from what I've seen so far, I should say, you know, Trump is going to be almost eighty guys, Let's get real about this.

You know that I think that Trump did some really good things, great messaging, built a movement, But we have to deal with the reality of where we are as a party, and I want what's best for not just the GOP, for America. The GOP is just a mechanism for getting the best outcome for my fellow Americans. It is a means to an end. I don't have some deep tribal allegiance to the Republican Party, it's not about that. But I don't have any deep allegiance to an individual

politician either. They are also a means to an end, to govern as best as the American people can be. That's the point, that's the purpose. I think Rod de Santis is our best shot of that, and he's certainly showing us that he's not tired of winning. Not yet.

our country. Yep I said it before. Walls don't work was the dumbest political slogan that the Democrats had ever come up with until until at least the modern era of the Democrat Party. And then they came up with defund the police. And you'll notice that now they're walking away from defund the police. Now they're talking about changing

police budgets, reimagining policing. There was a brief period where they wouldn't even talk about abolishing police, but they realized that was just truly obviously insane, so then they moved. Then they scaled it back a little bit. Then they came up with, well we will if we're not going to be able to abolish police. If we're not gonna be able to even defund the police, now, let's talk

about reimagining public safety. They're changing all these phrases as a means of trying, and they're changing around the language in order to avoid the accountability of this stupidity that they've engaged in for so long. That's what's actually happening here. The defund the police movement has resulted in catastrophic outcomes

for communities all across the country. It was awful, was a terrible idea, and more people have been attacked, raped, murdered, shot as a result of the undermining of law enforcement coast to coast. That's just what the numbers show. So now where do they go. I want you to remember this now because you'll see this increasingly. And it's been a big issue as well, with the COVID lockdowners and

the Fauciite consensus and all the rest. It's there's been this belief and I will tell you that I had it for a while that the Internet would create greater accountability because of the transparency around information that existed. It wasn't possible when I was growing up, you know, before the Internet was even really a thing. I had no realistic way unless I was going to go to a

branch of the New York Public Library or something. I couldn't figure out what somebody had written in a newspaper six months ago, or what some official was quoted saying at a speech, you know, eight months ago. There was no way for me to find that out as a private citizen who just wanted to know what's going on.

And so now the Internet comes along, and we have this information machine that can pull instantaneously literally millions of news articles and hits and everything together, and you can find out exactly what somebody said months ago, hours ago, one hundred you know, well, you know, if you can pull up the quote one hundred years ago, doesn't matter

if it exists, you can find it. But we've been assuming up to this point that, particularly when we're talking about online storage of news articles and things that are part of the daily narrative creation machinery. We've been assuming that they would be honest and how they did all of this. And now what you're starting to see is the changing of online history to suit the present narrative. Now I don't mean censorship of the right and that's certainly a part of it that's been going on for

a long time. No, I mean stealth editing of Washington Post headlines. I mean the alteration, yes Soviet style, the alteration of the official record, which is easier. It's harder to figure out when this happens online than it is even when you have people that have to go back and wipe things out in a book or eliminate all all the hard copies of it, because you're just changing around some zeros and ones in the back end of

a website. Essentially, it's something you can just switch and they may add a updated story to it, right they will say, oh, we updated this, But unless you know very specifically what was done, that doesn't tell you very much. They're doing this about COVID lockdowns, and they're doing this about what the headlines were around the Wuhan leak theory. This is happening. This is really going on right now. And now I'm not saying that they are completely in

the open about it. I'm not saying it's yet as egregious as it could be. But just remember Google is a left wing company, a left wing company, not even a left of center company, and they have the power to change public perception about an event based upon their search algorithm, which nobody really understands outside the company and

for which there's essentially no transparency. You know, if you google what did Fauci say about masks in twenty twenty, For most people, whatever appears and whatever's the first two or three things that appear, is going to be their perception of what really what really was said, what really happened with Fauci. What we're going to find out more and more, I think, is that these tech giants are

also going to play games with that. Why wouldn't they think about how they've been suppressing information during the pandemic along think about the means they've used up to this point. And this brings me back to the whole defund the police narrative. This is a stunningly, shockingly stupid political rallying cry, and there's going to be efforts to make it seem like this was not really what In an election year in twenty twenty, Democrats were marching all over the country,

engaging in riots, destroying property, attacking cops. There will be an effort to make it seem like that's not what happened. Might be somewhat subtle, but it can still be very effective. We are no longer in an era where the media even feels the need. They don't even feel the obligation to keep accurate records of what they themselves set at

different points. There's a great piece I wanted to share some of this with you got me thinking about this today, The Media's Memory Whole Privilege, by Michael Brendan Doherty on National Review. Here's what he writes. In our digital future, individuals will be held accountable for all their sins, while the ruling institutions will correct their mistakes secretly with COVID. It's happened already, he says. With the Internet, there is no paper trail to burn. There is just code to update.

And this has presented a kind of fate accomplea for journalistic ethics. The past used to be there in embarrassing paper, eventually turning yellow and converted into microfiche. Journalistic errors existed and were acknowledged. The disposability of the medium made the mistakes less embarrassing overall, and the archive ability of the medium made the public record easier to determine. But the

Internet makes your past mistakes present, and that's unbearable. On February seventeenth, twenty twenty, the Washington Post ran a story headline, Tom Cotton keeps repeating a coronavirus conspiracy theory that was already debunked. Recently, the headline and some of the texts have been changed to say that the senator from Arkansas keeps repeating a coronavirus fringe theory that scientists have disputed. The memory of the original headline is half embedded in

the uro which still has the word conspiracy. Basically, the incoming Biden administration has authorized an investigation into the lab league theory of COVID nineteen's origins. Facebook has subsequently stopped memory holding posts suggesting that COVID nineteen may have an origin in a lab and the Washington Post is saving the honor of our unchallengeable, unchallengeable ruler, which is not Joe Biden. Isn't it amazing? You see what's happened here?

You know it's through very good piece by Michael Brendan Doherty. They are not only elevating some narratives and storylines over others in the most flagrantly partisan and obviously political way. But now they're just going to start changing what was said, changing the headlines at way after the fact. This isn't a headline change meant to generate additional traffic the day of a piece. That happens. That's standard practice. This is oh gosh, that headline from a year ago is embarrassing.

Let's just change it, say, with something else. In twenty twenty one, Michael writes, our ruler is the illusion of an infallible expert consensus which is mediated to a supposedly raging and stupid American public by self described clever and public spirited journalists, and then hopefully, in their view, encoded

into the algorithms of social media. Having learned his lesson about twenty sixteen the hard way by suffering the disapproval of Barack Obama and his own woke workforce, Mark Zuckerberg is now tasked with the work that Jesus put off until the general judgment at the end of the world,

dividing us all into sheep and goats. We are in an era of unprecedented propaganda machinery, and one side has seized the commanding heights of those mechanisms, so much so that not only can they elevate what they want and suppress what they don't, but they can change our perception of communication reality itself by altering headlines, by doing things that you would think would be, on their face violations of journalistic ethics, but instead they justify as necessary as

part of the hashtag resistance, necessary as a means of pushing back against the predations of Donald Trump. Whatever that means for their professional goals, whatever that means for what they're supposed to be doing every day, doesn't matter. Always told you what's goal number one. Pursue power, true for all democrats, not just journalists. Pursue power. Have it it, wield it, get it. Those are the goals what they have to do to get there. It's just a question

figuring it out. Without qualified immunity, how do you get

people to do law enforcement work. There's a bill that's past the House of Representatives that would eliminate qualified immunity, And for those of you who are not familiar with that, that means every police officer would be subject to being sued personally, which would mean that law enforcement in America would cease to be effective because you would have so many people that wouldn't want to do the job anymore, and you'd have so many cops who quit, so they

would leave, or they just wouldn't join up in the first place. There must be activists in the Democrat Party who are smart enough to understand this, and in a sense that's almost more terrifying, because what it tells you is they don't care. This is a price. More murders, more,

more burglaries, more rapes, more and more violent assaults. That's the price the Democrats are willing to pay in order to seem like they're addressing the concerns of the BLM movement and standing up for by BYPOC communities right, Black Indigenous people of color BYPOC new acronym I learned recently which I have to use now just a way. I don't forget it. But McConnell is right that qualified immunity without that police work becomes essentially an intolerable risk for

most people. And it just goes to show you how absurd and how crazy the Democrats have really gotten. Oh on the I meant to get to this before Jason Chaffetz said this. I do think we're gonna reach racism hysteria fatigue at some point. I'm not I don't think we're there yet, but it's gonna grow. We're really sick, we should be really sick of getting constant lectures from

Joe Biden about race relations. Play seven. I think we have a history, and not all of our history in the United States is a pretty one, and I'm not afraid of acknowledging that and learning about that. But to push it to the degree and the direction that the President is trying to do, I think is wrong. I look at today's immigration policies. I think people understand that

we need to protect our borders. But when he doesn't, when he just allows this free flow of people into the country and gives them advantage over Americans, that again divides us. So I don't know exactly what his goal is. I think he's listening to the far radical left side of the equation who are asking for things that I just don't think are palatable. I think America is tired of being told that it's racist. I know I'm not racist.

I know my family's not racist. I know most of my friends aren't racist, and if they were racist, I wouldn't hang out with that. So America is tired of that, create opportunities and allow people to thrive, and stop taking Americans money and then handing it out the way they see fit, and do it in an equal basis. If you keep telling people that we're divided, guess what we're going to be divided. That's not the vision of Martin Luther King. That wasn't the vision that I heard from

other civic leaders. But I hear from Biden more than I hear anybody else. Is that because Biden doesn't understand what's happening, or is he getting exactly what he wants? Which is this division that Jason Chaffitz was talking about. There. That's what you have to remember. We no longer have two parties in this country that want the same things, but just want to use different approaches and have different views of the law in the Constitution to get there.

We want, we want fundamentally different in many ways outcomes for American society from the Democrats want different outcomes insofar as we don't we don't want any discrimination on the basis of race, and we don't want any systems. We don't want any mechanisms in place for making determinations based upon skin color. We reject that out of hand. So this isn't's a a just a disagreement that you can say, well, it doesn't make that big a difference. It makes a

huge difference. It makes a huge difference. You know, Kamala is. I just noted this at the top of the show, and I wanted to say, Kamala is backing away from her role as borders are, which is pretty incredible. You know, they just got rid of officially got rid of the

remain in Mexico policy of the Trump administration. Anyone who understands how our border currently functions and what's going on there will tell you that not only is the situation they're out of control, but it's not going to get better because the things that the Democrats would have to do to make it better, the actions that Joe Bay and Gonna have to take to improve things are in line with what Trump was doing. And that is a concession that the Democrats are not willing to make. They'll

never say that Trump was right on the border. Can you imagine this would this would completely melt their faces off, right. The Democrats will never admit this. They'll never say that that's what happened. But then what do they do, because the only way is to fix the crisis of the border. Are the ways the Trump administration took in the past, Well, you can just take the Kammal approach, which is moving on to something else, distancing herself from the fraught situation

of the border. Is the CNN. That's the very gentle CNNA headline. Yeah, she doesn't want to be dealing with this because it's going to be a loss when all's said and done. She will not secure the border, she will not do what is necessary, and so if she was tasked with that, it becomes a major challenge. President brandishing torches hate crimes against Asian and Jewish Americans, reminders that white supremacism, white terror is the most lethal threat

to our homeland today. What really should scare us all is that never in the modern era have we seen what should be relegated to the fringes. You know they're neo Nazis, you know they're white supremacists, but they've always been kept in the modern era on the fringes of society. Stay where you're supposed to be, in the shadows. You deserve nothing else. You have the right to speak, but what you say is not right, and we will not

regard it as such. Abject bigotry. Now it is at worst embraced and at least minimized by an entire political party. I see, the Republican Party is all guilty, all tied in at some level, all at least minimizing, if not embracing, Neo Nazism and white supremacy. This is from a CNN anchor who is a moron who would be nowhere in life without his last name. But nonetheless, let's address this with my friend Kurt Schlichter. He is a senior columnist at townhall dot com, a lawyer, and a veteran of

the United States Army. Kurt, great to have you as always, Oh great to be her back and of course, listening to the ato of the Cuomo family, he's smart, not dumb like everyone says. He's smart. Any wants respect. You know that. You know that he on video referred to being called Fredo as like an ethnic slur and instead of a funny movie reference about the fact that he's a buffoonish brother. Well, if it is an ethnic clur, so what I mean? Did he just doesn't His whole

whole clip isn't his whole flip an ethnic slur. I mean, what are the rules black? I'm very confused. Now, I am less concerned with what the rules are than that there'll be one unset up. And he seems to think it's okay. He just did it. He accused an entire race of a certain crime, not differentiating between people, exaction, so forth, which you know in the real world is called racism. Um, So why would be wrong to call him fredo even if it was an ethnic sir? Is?

Why is one right and one wrong? I'm very con well. I think it's also it's troubling that you see that Biden keeps returning to this. The clearly Democrats believe that the exaggeration of the threat of white supremacist terrorism and another insurrection, this is a central narrative for this president. Yeah,

there's a central narrative here for the Democrats. And that should give everybody some some some real concern or who cares for the future of the country, because I mean, this is this is idiot slandering of everybody who's a conservative, everybody on the right, and it's intentional. And these are people that have shown a real authority. These are leftist Democrats who have shown a real authoritarian streak for the last fifteen months. Well you know what it is, Buck,

is it short term thinking? Because they think, Wow, in this next election, I will be able to motivate this part of my base with these bizarre accusations. Now, you're right, this is troubling, especially to those of us who served in the Balkans because their ethnicity was everything. One of the greatest achievements of America was that the majority ethnic group did not think of itself as a cohesidethnic group, you know, white Americans, whatever that means. Because I think

racial categories are generally stupid and don't reflect reality. I mean, what are my kids. My wife's Cuban, I'm German, Scottish? What are my kids? If you get past the premise that you should put people into categories, which I reject categorically, but well, yeah, whiteness is also a very broad and

very sloppy category. I mean, as I've I've had to point out before on this show, if it's about skin color, and I mean explicitly skin color, then you've got people who come from Afghanistan who have blue eyes and red hair. You've got people from North Africa who are blue eyed and a blue eyed and blonde hair. I mean, it's just absurd, it's stupid, and it's the kind of thing stupid people do. It's a kind of thing that are uneducated in lead and yeah they have our VA League degrees,

but they are absolutely uneducated about the world. Like I said, the gless achievement, well grass achievements in the United States was that its major ethnic group cannot consider itself an ethnic group in the sense didn't identify and unify. So they're taking a position that would encourage those people to suddenly identify themselves by color and band together. That's insane, that's that's that's literal madness. But they think in the

short term it'll work in the long term. The problem with our liberal lead buck is they believe the world is static. They believe, you know, if things aren't working out the way they are, they can change some rules and get the advantage of it while retaining the protection of the old rules. And that's the problem. As you know from your time working with military folks as a CIA officer, the enemy gets a vote, the other side does things. It doesn't remain static. It's not like a

bunch of you know, most of America's going to go. Well, you know, they labeled me its terrorist. I guess I better shrug. I'm a surf. Doesn't w look like that? How could they even imagine it? Instead, the terrible logic of them is a racial conflict, racial balkanization, and that you know, like I said, I served in Kosovo. I know what that looks like at the bottom of the slippery slope. These people are not just stupid, they're dangerous.

We're speaking of Kurt Schlichterer, senior columnist at townhall dot com and a military veteran, And Kurt, you know, the the Biden administration really likes to push this narrative whenever they get the opportunity, and I just I have to wonder at what point it becomes too obvious, too opportunistic when you see that Joe Biden is a rich, old white millionaire. Okay, this is this is a guy. He's from Delaware. This guy does not care about the struggle

of BYPOC communities. This guy is not in hutch in some way with that doesn't have some deep understanding of racism. If anything, you look back at his at his history and politics. He's got some sketchy associations with Democrats, who, as we know, include Democrats like Senator Robert Byrd formerly of the KKK, and and others who always get a pass for their you know, their racial or racist transgressions. I mean Bidens as the great hero of of wokeness

and social justice. I mean, this is this is appallingly flimsy and stupid, but yet it's a central narrative of this presidency. It is it's cheap and lazy, and they think it's going to help them in the short term, but it's not. It's simply going to uh reinforce vision and it's not going to divide necessarily the way they want it to. You know, you let this genie of the bottle and you know he's going to grant wishes,

but they might not be yours. Speaking to Kurt Schlick there here senior commists at townhall dot com and Kurt the the talk of of insurrection still continues on here. We have, finally, in recent weeks, the National Guard presence at Capitol Hill ended, which was the whole thing was so absurd and stupid. You have people who, meaning the the deployment of thousands of soldiers. I mean, DC is an armed camp. Congress was back in session hours after

the so called insurrection. Everything you know, worked out in the end, you know, with people getting arrested who broke the law, people being now they're being held in solitary confinement actually well under the threat of another insurrection, And I just it feels like this is the Russia collusion crazy in in just a different context. Now, a giant lie that's used as a huge club to bludgeon the Democrats political opponents, and the whole corporate media apparatus is

on board for it. Yes, it was a riot, it was bad, it was stupid. It wasn't an attempt to overthrow the United States government that the Republican Party was backing and wanted to actually happen. Oh, look, only idiots believe that. Most normal people are like, yeah, I've seen I've seen rowdy or frat parties. But the problem that you touched on is the dual justice issue. These guys are being persecuted. But you know, you attack a courthouse in Portland for month after month after month, Yeah, and

then you get your charges dismiss charges dropped. You can't have two systems of justice. You can't have two sets of rules, which is why I think it's so important the President, to Santis or whoever comes in as a Republican pardon every single one of these people who was arrested, not because they didn't do some think stupid I think some of them did some stupid stuff, but because we cannot allow a dual system of justice, they would be pardoned so that the you know, the their consequences matched

matched those of the Democrats. Friends, I think I'm just gonna put an idea out to you, Kurt. I think that emotional instability and hysteria are central characteristics, foundational characteristics of the Democrat Party in America today. What do you think? I think. I think you're correct, Buck. I write about this tomorrow in my town hall column. Um. Look, these are primarily pampered Ivy league folks. They're not like you and me. They never deployed, they've never had done anything

difficult there, I mean, their their life path is. You know, I was in college, I was at grad school that I wrote for Box and now I write for the Washington Post. Okay, hardly you know these guys are not tempered on the forge of life and death challenges. Instead, they've had a very easy life but normal. But people naturally Buck want to challenge. They seek a dragon to slay. These guys have discovered a toothless dragon, and they're pretending

they're Saint George. I thought the insurrection, ah, I was general resistance. Never have so many risks so little, with so much self aggrandizement. I think that also ties into why they've taken so much to the extreme fauciite measures, because it was it's it's a mark of they think selflessness, intelligence and bravery to triple mask even after you're vaccinated, going for a bike ride alone in park slope like

they think that makes them a good brave person. They actually have taken bravery and defined it an entirely different direction. These you know, we stirred overseas other people who have done other hard, difficult things. People have been cops or over but we've been you know, for for a lot of these people, tough men have created a paradise where they face no real challenges. This is their big challenge,

this is their woodstock. There are people Buck who are going to tell their grandchildren expecting to be uh, you know, expecting to be held in awe that they survived the Great Pandemic of twenty twenty. This is the pinnacle for a lot of these people, and they want to milk it because, as you know, when you do something like this, when you like go back to deploy, there's a certain I don't want I don't know if it's excitement, but

you feel alive in a way you don't at other times. Right, it's a little bit, Yeah, there's a little edge of fear. You're you're watching history happen. It's exciting. You don't know what's gonna what's gonna go down next. They've never had that. This is it for them, this is you know, they're there. You know, you know there are guys who dropped into Normandy and you know lived lives after, but you know that moment in Normandy is something that they'll always think about.

For these people, this is what they'll think about it. God, that's pathetic. Kurchlik Deret. Look for his column tomorrow on townhall dot com. Kurt, good to have you man, talk to you soon. Thanks for having me. Ultimately, we cannot just sit and negotiate forever. We have to get to an end. I was just looking at some stats this morning, John. I mean, China invests ten times as much in infrastructure that the United States does. That's just not tenable for

us if we want to lead. China is doing such a better job with their economy. Huh. Jennifer Granholm gave me a break, get out of here. Nonsense. But they've gone from negotiate to do what we want or else right, negotiate or there's gonna be there's gonna be just a steamrolling you. So I gotta tell you it's it's not surprising at all that this Democrat party thinks that it has It has no reason to. It doesn't have to

respect the other side. It just expects the other side to comply because there's an emotional, babyish, tantrum based psychology at the heart of the modern Democrat party. Do it because I said so, Do it because I want you to do it. That's all that matters. It's not about a reason. It's not about making a case that people can say, oh, wow, you know what you're You're right something else. I wanted to get to you today. That

JBS my actual initials here. It's the biggest meat supplier to America in the world, and there's been a meat hack attack. Here we go see it in some shopper may want to brace themselves for yet another possible supply crunch, this time with meat. Major beef and pork producer JB USA suffered a cyber attack last weekend, prompting reported shutdowns

at company plants in North America and Australia. The White House has said the ransomware attack was likely carried out by a Russia based criminal organization and that it is dealing with the Russian government on the matter. The Australian government has said that US law enforcement is taking the

lead on investigating the attack. So far, some authorities and trade groups have assured operations will be back to normal as soon as possible, aline concerns of a major disruption, but experts warn it could depend on how quickly the issue is taken care of. You know, Russia. I'm somebody that tries to try to calm everybody down after all the Russia hysteria. But you know, if Russia messes with our meat supply, when you start cutting me off from a Hamburgers and ma tee bone steaks, I get upset

about things. So I'm telling you Russia, there there's some stuff you don't want to mess with. And when you get between an American and his pound of bacon or his you know, filet mignon, if you want to go fancy, you're playing with fire. But you'll see more of this hackers on foreign soil who demand ransom money from companies once they get into their systems and places are going

to pay it. That's the part of this that doesn't get the focus in the media that maybe it needs to severyone understands that this stuff, these tactics work very well for these hackers, but endangering our meat supply, that's that's something that just goes too far for me. What am I gonna do. I'm gonna eat Tofu all day and eat saitan. You know, all these meat, these burger replacements that are out there, none of them, none of them really taste anything like a burger. A Burgher's way better.

I don't know why we have to pretend there's all these companies that get funded, they get all this money to come up with you know, oh, we've replaced meat. No, you have not. There's no such thing as a real meat replacement. There's just plant stuff that's made to vaguely resemble some form of meat product. But meat, as we all know, is superior. So I'm just hoping we don't get a big I hope some of you you know we have a fantastic meat sponsor if you if you

got in on that, you're good to go. But you know you don't want to wait on these things. So when I when I tell you to check out our our meat sponsor here on the show and get some moinks into your home, now you know I'm trying to get you prepared. Friends. Doctor Fauci is going to be getting a paycheck, a big one, friends, for his book on truth and handling this health crisis. What's the title, you're expect The Unexpected Ten Lessons on Truth, Service and

the Way Forward. This is going to be released in November. It's only eighty pages long. And Fauci it's not clear yet if he's going to keep or donate the proceeds. I think there's gonna be a lot of pressure on this guy to donate. Now, I don't know if he will or not. But why would Fauci be writing a book meant to profit personally? As a result of what's gone on during this pandemic. What is his book really

going to be about? You have to wonder unless it's eighty pages of I'm sorry, I was wrong over and over again, and I kept being wrong even more. And then right when you thought, hold on a second, could he be wrong anymore? Then yes, yes, in fact, it would come forward that I was wrong again. And it's almost amazing the amount of wrongness that I've been able

to pull together. Expect the unexpected, they call it. Yeah, you know what is expected here that you have a Democrat bureaucrat with doctor Anthony Fauci who is finding yet another way to put himself personally at the center of this and seemingly benefit from it. Why should any of us see this as anything other than doctor Fauci building his own brand, because you know this guy is gonna get a CNN gig. You know he's gonna be on MSNBC.

What he's gonna stick around after this? You think this guy wants to go back to doing public health announcements during flu season. Wash your hands, you gotta wear a well wearing a master in flu season. We'll see how much of that they push on us. But you gotta wear a mask, you gotta wash your hands, you got a social distance. No, he doesn't want to go back to that. He's gotten a taste of being famous, he's gotten a taste of being really important. He's not gonna

want to give that up. There's no part of doctor Anthony Fauci that's going to say. You know what, I think that being the most powerful unelected official in America is something that I don't ever want to be repeated again for anybody else. So I'm going to tell the truth about how I really had too much authority and was able to promote far too many policies under the

guise of guidance. Remember that's what they toways say. You know, we follow we got measures, and we got to stop the droplets with the masks, and we got the public health guidance and all this stuff that he was saying. All along. The Democrats allied with Fauci to create an authoritarian health policy super state and to defeat Donald Trump in the mid term. And as I always tell you, this is where Democrats excel. They take care of their own.

This is where the Democrat Party really shows you why they're able to despite being bad at governance, win people over to their side to vote in, to vote Democrat in elections. It's because, for one thing, if you want to be in with the cool kids, if you want to be well taken care of by the elites, you want that Netflix advisory deal, that board seat on a Barry Diller company, you know from IAC. You want to be somebody who gets invited to the really fancy parties,

You got to be a Democrat. You want to be somebody who gets the top publishing house to push your crap book, like Andrew Cuomo, the governor New York. Well, you better be a Democrat. If you're a Republican, you could write the formula for turning coal into gold. You know, Cole price is going up. A lot of things gone on these days, but you could have the you know, the meaning of life written on a piece of paper, and a lot of publishing houses wouldn't want to touch

it because they are partisan entities. And then there's also what Faucci has shown us here. Sure there's the book deal part of this, but there's also what he has taught us about the nature of the administrative state. And this has been a concern of mine for a long time. There is in this country a fourth branch of government, and it is the bureaucracy. I'm quite familiar with it because I used to work for it in a sense

at the CIA. Now, I will tell you that the Central Intelligence Agency is among federal bureaucracies, the most academically elite. And it's relatively speaking, and I know some of you're gonna go fall and you should, as I say this, relatively lean and mean. Now, that's not to say there's not a tremendou amount of waste and redundancy and absurdity.

Of course there is. But if you want to compare the CIA to the Department of Education, if you wanted to compare you know, the CIA to Health and Human Services. I mean, you start looking at some of the federal government agencies and you realize, oh my gosh, not only are we spending enormous amounts of the public's money, and

remember time is money. Right when the government is taking more from you in the form of taxation and bonding your children to these debts in the future, they're taking your productive time from you, and they're taking your possessions in a sense, from you and giving it to other people. Which is why, yes, limited taxation is essential. It's interesting. You know, if you go back you read, as I like to a lot of American history, You go through all these periods and you go, wait a second, what's

wh Why were tariff houses so expensive? Why were tariffs so important? Oh? Because that's how we funded the entire federal government until the twentieth century. Right. You know they don't teach kids that in school. Wait a minute, You mean that you could have been an American in the eighteen eighties and not paid a dollar of income tax

because there was no income tax. Yes. Yes, but the federal bureaucracy is more powerful than it has ever been, and it's something that we have just begun to recognize as the threat to our freedoms and liberties that it really is. I mean, it was fauchiites working for the NIH and the CDC who were pretending, I mean, think about the game they played. Oh, we're just we're just giving you guidance. It wasn't guidance. They were laws in effect.

Because the Democrats that were in power, and a lot of Republicans too, said I'll do whatever the CDC tells me to and they knew that so they had the power of law without actually getting elected to anything. And that's troubling. There was an outsourcing here of the accountability mechanism of our system to the federal bureaucracy during the pandemic,

and the results were disastrous. The results were awful. I mean, how can anyone look at what happened in this country with over half a million dead and who knows what the total number of infections is. As I've told you, I believe that close to half the country was at some point exposed to in infected with COVID nineteen. And I can show you rock and roll fellow patriots. It's time for roll call Facebook dot com. If you slash buck sex it, if you want to send us a

message or team buck at. iHeart media dot com. Um. So that's that's what I'm That's what I'm here for to make sure that all the good things happen. Let us get right to it, shall we? Um? And I love hearing from all you in roll call. Please do write, and especially if you've never if you're anube, a newbie four roll call purposes, you got to write in Producer Mark, have I ever asked you the snow Princess asked me

recently what my all time favorite movie? She just was It was one of those kind of curiosity questions that you just ask somebody because you feel like it all time favorite movie. What is your all time favorite movie? Is it Mighty Ducks or is that your all time favorite sports movie? No, that that's my favorite movies. Yeah, your favorite movie. I just I just get nostalgic about them, Like there's just those movies that you watch and you just love it every time. Why wouldn't I call it

my favorite? I don't think it's the best movie ever, but I personally love it. No, I'm with you. I mean, for me, it's Braveheart, which you know, what, what connection do I really have to a bunch of guys in hundreds era Scotland running around with kilts And by the way, they wouldn't have even been wearing kilts at that time. Kilts came later. There's a lot of historical and accuracy and accuracies in it. But anybody who cares, great movie. I love it. So I'm with you. But I was

just wondering about that well Mighty Ducks number. You know, I haven't seen it. You've never seen the Mighty Ducks never seen it. You told me to watch Miracle, which I enjoyed, so you have some credibility with me on this one. So I made maybe this weekend. You want to have kind of a low key weekend with the Snow Princess, so I think maybe maybe Mighty Ducks might have to happen. You have to go into it with understanding that it's a movie for children. Yeah, can I

tell you that there was I did a Google. I did a Google search the day of the big announcement because I want to see what news coverage there was. I'm not somebody who googles himself, but the day when you have a Wall Street journal piece and a Daily Mail piece and a Fox News piece on on you and your new you know radio show, you tend to want to google yourself right about my coast and I Clay Travis what we're gonna be doing it from twelve

the three one, hundreds of stations. And you know it's interesting when they had the the suggested searches based on my name, pretty ser Mark, did you see this? I tweeted it out too. It was like buck Sexton number one, hair number two was wife number three was history, and number four I think was podcast. I was like, oh, Google knows me so well, yeah, wife, isn't there anymore from me? By the way, in case you were wondering, what isn't there for you anymore? Wife? Oh? You know

I don't have a wife. Yeah, I know, I know, but I'm saying, from the results you got the other day, I guess people have searched other things so much that wife isn't one of the suggestions anymore. Oh okay, yeah, No. There were some websites you're that that I had that people had pointed this out to me when I was single and unmarried. They said, you know that it's it says online that you're married. I was like, I've never

been married. You know, I've never been married. I don't know why there should be any confusion about that, but there was for a little while. But anyway, all right, well, let's get into a roll call. Let's get into a roll call. Vale. Hey, Buck, I'm just listening to your exciting new announcement. I would say I got a little emotional when you talked about your speech impairment. It just made me so happy you overcame your difficulty and came out on top. You're a great inspiration for never giving

up and overcoming the hardship life gives you. The world needs more people like you. I was also a little emotional when you said you were taking over Russia's spot one and honor, and I can't think of anyone better to fill his spot. I can only imagine him looking down and being very happy about you trying to fill his shoes. I wish you the best of luck with the new show. I have no doubt it'll be awesome,

and I'll continue to listen. I've passed the Buck along and now my English boyfriend and I always listen to your show together. We're huge fans. We wish you all the best. Vale well vow that's awesome and look tell them I really appreciate it. Listens to the Buck Sexton show, you know, means fantastic, It's the best. He loves it. It's like my favorite podcast, you know what I mean? More absolutely Yeah, that's a little bit like from Forgetting

Sarah Marshall. That's the kind of English accent that that guy. What is his u um brand is Russell Brandy. Yeah, and he's like, oh, I was going to listen to your demo. But then I just decided to go on living my life. You know that guy did the movie they made with that character. Yeah, take him to the Greek. I did not like it, or get him to the Greek. It's yeah, it's I did not like it. Um, I like forgetting Forgetting Sarah Marshall's a little raunchy, but I

liked it anyway. Um. You know, I talked to my dad recently. You know what he told me. He said the Game of Thrones was too violent for him, and and I gotta tell you, he's kind of right. It's a really violence like go was above and beyond, you know, but I still liked it. I've never even seen it. It doesn't interest me at all. I know a lot of people are shocked in awe at that, but it's true.

Sor right, Well, I don't. I don't give you recommendation anymore because I gave you one that you'll like on Amazon Prime, but you never watch it because your missus apparently shoots down my ideas. So I guess I have to watch it soon because I only have a couple of weeks left. You know, you should probably check it out. I think I think you'd enjoy it. But I'm not even gonna say what it is because people have heard it too many times in the show. Will congratulations on

the big news, my friend. It couldnt have happened to a more deserving person. Nobody worked harder for this than you have, and now it's all paid off. I wish I could say I was OSS, but I started listening to you after one of your early fill ins on Russia's Show, and I immediately subscribe to your podcast and have listened ever since. While nobody could really fill Russia's shoes, I think we all know that you were a top choice. I'd say, keep up the good work, but I already

know you will. Well, thank you will, and yeah, I think that's true. Nope, nobody can fill Russia's shoes. And I never have said, nor will say that, I think that that's what I'm doing. I'm just trying to carry on in whatever portion of the time slot that is open now that formerly was the rush time slot, whatever portion of that I can. I try to carry forth the the rushed legacy. And I know there are others who we'll be doing it too. And I said to you yesterday, I mean, you know Dan Bongino is a

great guy. He's a friend of mine, really talented. You know, it's a good show. I mean, they're they're gonna be people that are coming in and doing great work, and I'm just I focus on doing the best work that I can. That's why I like guys like Bongino and beck and and some of these others who also do really good work and they're focused on that. They're not

they're not attacking people, they're not coming after people. Um, it's just always always better to always better to you know, take the positive route, you know, to be to be building other people up. You know, it's fun. It's fun to build up other people in this business. It's fun to be nice to other people. It really is. You know, if you take that attitude, it's a good thing. Other people though, or you know, they hate they hate the competition. Stephen,

just adding to the pile. Congratulations. I was mildly bummed when you went from the Saturday show to a daily show on the Blaze because I knew I might not be able to listen live as often, but was so happy for you. Same thing now bombed on one level, but so happy for you one another shields high. Well, thank you, Stephen. Just remember you can always always listen to the Bucks Exton Show podcast and you will be able to listen to Clay Travis and Bucks Exton Show

podcast as well. So yeah, you can listen to it on demand so you never have to go without it. Jeff, congratulations Buck. Going back to original Saturday Squad an action movie Friday. It's great to see you reach the pinnacle of radio. I know you'll set the bar even higher. You're the right man for the job. This is the quasi equivalent of catching a beer bottle that was supposed to be split in half by a sword. It's all in the reflexes. First of all, Jeff, I love the

Big Trouble Little China reference, so thank you. Second of all action movie quote Fridays, if we do live calls with Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, maybe we'll bring that back mark that was before your time. People would call in just throw a quote at me from an action movie and see if I could get it, and I'd say I don't. I never kept official stats. I'd say I got him seventy seventy five percent at the time. Yeah, Producer John I used to tell me about that. But

oh yeah, calls. I can't help you with that. Yeah, yeah, I'm miss producer John. How's he doing. He's doing well. I spoke to him a couple of months ago. Tell him Team Bucks ends a hug. All right, that's gonna be the show for today. Team back tomorrow, same time, in place, Shields high
