The Deep State Is Now The State

run by Joe Biden. It's gonna be run by a Democrat and probably by Joe Biden for that whole time. So this is where we are now. I'm hearing and seeing things that are truly absurd, upsetting, outrageous. They're coming after conservatives right now. They're trying to set up the framework for using not just the private sector and different cultural institutions, but now increasingly are actual political and legal

mechanisms to go after people who have disfavored opinions. And in this case, it's being too strong of a Trump supporter. I think it was a pretty big indicator of where all this was going when they were asking or where they were demanding that we vet the National Guard for pro Trump sympathies. No surprise, did anything happen. Were there any riots yesterday anywhere on the Biden inauguration anywhere in the country from Trump supporters, No, there were not what

a shock to absolutely nobody. But because we had one day were one group decided to riot at Capitol Hill. Now the left will muddy the waters and pretend that political violence happens on both sides. In fact, it happens really only on the right. That's the new narrative. We have to fight against it now. We used to be in a stronger position because we would say we don't do that, and it was one hundred percent true. Now we have to say, well, ninety nine percent of the

time our side does not. Ninety nine point nine percent of the time, our side does not do that. So to speak, our side very broadly defined. But we already have had left wing riots. Wait, hold on a second, Joe Biden is in office. I thought this was going to stop the rise of the seas and heal the planet or that was Obama. But Biden's supposed to be a second, a second iteration of the Obama administration. We all know that, So why is there so much anger

out there? Shouldn't this be morning in America? Shouldn't this be now? I know the journalists are Oh my gosh, for them, it's just all one big, warm bubble bath right now. They're having a great time. Oh it's amazing, Joe Biden. It's just coming back in and restoring everything that is good and decent about the world. I mean, it's it's embarrassing. But I knew this was going to happen, as did you. But there are a lot of other people. There are other factions on the left that are attacking

people and things, still, attacking police officers and buildings. We saw that in Denver yesterday. We saw that in Portland. Of course, Portland is like is like a mecca for left wing lunatics. It is a gathering point for the craziest of the crazy, and they've effectively got free reign in that city because there's so many Democrats and they

don't want to cross them. It's madness. We'll get more into that, but right now, I want to point out that the former CIA director John Brennan, whom I did not work for, but I know him by reputation and I know that he is a left wing zealot. He's a very progressive guy. Think about that, all right. He was the CIA director under Obama. He was the senior counter terrorism advisor to the Obama White House for a number of years. This guy had a lot of authority

and power in the government. He's not just some random person who's paid to go on TV, who works for a think tank that has two employees that no one cares about. He has real connections and on the left, he has real gravitas. And he is single handedly and this isn't new because of what he did over the Russia collusion hoax. He is single handedly destroying the brand of former CIA officer, which makes me mad on many levels.

But he is doesn't have quite the same ring to it anymore because of people like him who say absolutely insane stuff. They are coming after normal everyday Trump supporters, not necessarily with criminal charges, but with the chilling effect of a vast surveillance push and the desire to make sure that everybody out there who does not support as Biden administration knows that they will be treated as harshly as possible by the law if there's any cause for it.

And if they have to expand the scope of the law to wrap them up in this to go after them criminally, they will do. So. Here you have John Brandon, former CIA director, with one of that This was our national TV one of the crazier things I've heard on MSNBC in a long time, and that's saying a lot

play three. But because of this growth in polarization in the United States and domestic violence in white supremacist groups, so I know looking forward that the members of the Biden team who have been dominated or have been appointed are now moving in laser like fashion to try to uncover as much as they can about what looks very similar to insurgency movements that we've seen overseas, where they germinate in different parts of the country and they gain strength,

and it brings together an unholy alliance frequently of religious extrememists, authoritarians, fascists, bigots, racists, nativists, even libertarians, And unfortunately, I think there has been this momentum that has been generated as a result of unfortunately the demagoguic gretoric of people that's just departed government, but also those who continue in the halls of Congress and So I really do think that the law enforcement, homeland security, intelligence,

and even the defense officials by doing everything possible to root out what seems to be a very very serious and insidious threat to our democracy in our republic, religious extremists, authoritarians, fascist biggest, biggest racists, even libertarians. This lunatic is singling out our pro weed legalization, individual liberty obsessed brethren in

the libertarian movement. This is crazy on National TV, and he's telling you what the mentality is of all the former Obama national security officials that are coming back now, of the deep staters who are now the state. Let me repeat that for you. The deep state under Trump is now the state under Biden. They are running stuff. They're not operating in the shadows. They're not afraid of

the DOJ finding out about this. They think they'll get a performance award if the DOJ finds out about what they're going to do against Trump voters, against this Trump insurgency, so to speak. Comparing this to insurgency. We all know what that means. Many of you served in the military, some of you served even in the intelligence community, or perhaps in other aspects of government or law enforcement. He's lining,

this is what democrats are doing now. They're likning people that were upset over what they perceive to be an unfair and rigged election, upset over that, and comparing them to people who set suicide bombers off in crowded market squares and behead innocent civilians on video and engage in the mass enslavement and rape and torture of women, because that's what al Qaeda and the Islamic State and the Taliban,

that's what those insurgencies do. So that's a very powerful word to use when you're talking about this, not in metaphorical terms, not in some Oh, I'm trying to use the martial rhetoric of the military to talk about a

political issue. He's saying, No, we need to use This is the Obama XCIA director saying, we should see and are seeing the entirety of the national security apparatus, homeland security, federal law enforcement, even DoD laser like fashion, focus on the anti anti Biden, pro Trump insurgency and to bring every tool to bear to crush it. This guy's calling for counterinsurgency against his fellow Americans like a maniac. On the day of the inauguration, of Joe Biden. I've got

news for the Libs. Despite all their hysterics and everything else, the system held. Everything ended up, you know, going basically the way that it was supposed to under in a constitutional in a constitutional sense, and they got their way. They won, and the Republicans now are we're moving into this new phase and this is where we are. Did they ever do that with four years of Russia collusion lies? No? Do you see Republicans now chanting by the thousands like

spoiled children, screaming not my president. Because that's what the Democrats were doing. I know I saw them doing it here in New York City. I'll never forget. It was a cold, rady night right after Trump had won in twenty sixteen, and just a stream of people, a river of morons, going down Broadway screaming that he's not their president. I remember thinking, fact check false, he is your president. That's where we are now. We got a bunch of

loons running around. But instead of just opposing the government, instead of leaking to the Washington Post to undermine the incoming administration, bringing phony but pretextual prosecutions that they're pretending are about something else. No, now they're just calling the shots now. Crazy is in charge, don't you see. It's

not like they have been healed. That's not as though all of a sudden they're going to be rational and reasonable and calm down a bit and see that there is more to life than who ends up being the congressman for your district or your senator or your president. There's other, much, much more important stuff every day in all of our lives. This is just a little tiny piece, a portion of it, and one that you should wrap up and put aside some days, one that you should

make sure you don't always think about that. All of us should take breaks from this, take a moment to make sure that we're spending enough time with family, friends, loved ones, you know, take the kids fishing, take the misses out for a nice dinner, enjoy yourself, enjoy your life. We are all on borrowed time. I wish Democrats would just calm down. They are not waging some existential struggle against fascism in America known as Republicans. That's not happening.

It wasn't happening under Trump, and it's not happening now. But if they keep pushing and doing this stuff and saying they're going to leverage the apparatus of this state against us. The backlash to that will grow, the anti purge will become a real thing. And depending on how severe and how serious they yeah, this could take us down an ugly political path, even uglier than what we've seen, and not even just political all the time. And that's the fear here. That's why I really do want the

Democrats to calm down. Republicans are going to make arguments against what they're doing. We're going to try to convince those Democrats who are not fully brainwashed by the left that they shouldn't do these structural changes to this country that are being talked about by Democrats. But we are going to conduct ourselves, we conservatives, are going to conduct ourselves like adults, like patriots, like people who believe in

this country and law and order. Even though right now we have taken a mule kick to the face and I know it and I feel it, But that's who we are. Let's see who they are. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Follow Buck on Facebook, Instagram. And I think the other issue of homeland security, as John pointed out, yes there's a security issue how do you

identify armed militias who are intent on doing harm? But there's a broader societal issue that it's going to take many years to detox the disinformation, the lies, the hate that has been spread. A whole segment of the American population has been radicalized by what has happened over the last four years and by the fact that Donald Trump

is no longer there. They can no longer see Donald Trump kind of representing their grievances and the highest office, and so those grievances are going to go back underground. And I think there's a lot of work to be done to deal with the broader societal issues that go beyond what even national security homeland security professionals could do. Oh even more work than national security. So John Brennan saying we need to leverage the national security state to

surveil and intimidate and go after this Trump insurgency. And then Obama's former chief for policy propagandists, Ben Rhodes is out there telling everybody, Oh, and it goes even beyond that because of how people have been radicalized. He's talking about how our side, generally speaking, is radicalized. Meanwhile, who was destroying buildings yesterday, it's the inauguration day. What was it Trump voters or Biden voters who attacked the d NZ headquarters in Portland? Was it Trump voters or Biden

voters who were engaged in property destruction? And basically a smaller scale riot in Denver. I just want to know. It's day one of the new administration. The Democrats won this election, darn it. But it's where we are. I know, I say it, and it's just doesn't feel good, but it's true. And we're already seeing political violence from their side, because attacking cops and destroying property is lawless and his violence. And yet they're so worried about the radicalization on our side.

What is the what is the defining movement of the left of the last ten years? And we're looking at political mobilizations that have happened allegedly at the grassroots level. What do they have BLM which resulted in hundreds of violent protests, riots, destruction of property, police stations burned to the ground, police officers murdered, people trying to blind cops with lasers, throw bags of yearn at them, hit them with rocks, just destroying you know, drug stores and clothing

stores and stealing sneakers and handbags. All the stuff that we saw there was all a part of BLM movement. We all know that. Even before that, if you go back about a decade, there was the Occupy Wall Street movement, which was something that I covered when I got started very beginning of my media career, so I remember it well.

And you know, the truth is the anti cop and Antifa movements BLM and Antifa were incubated, and within that Occupy movement there were rowdy and riotous protests that happened. Under Occupy Wall Street. There were criminal acts taking place, shutting down intersections, breaking stuff, throwing rocks at cops. All that was happening, particularly in places like Oakland, Portland's Seattle. What is the defining I just want to solve to

remember this. What is the defining political movement or the most large scale grassroots political movement of the last ten years On the right, You could maybe say MAGA and Trump is um, but another another answer would be the Tea Party. How much violence, how much destruction was there

from the Tea Party? Almost none? I mean, it became a joke even among conservatives that you know, you didn't want to be the person at the Tea Party rally who left a rapper on the town green because littering is a no no. That was the Tea Party people coming together and making their voices heard in a legal

first amendment cherishing fashion. And then we had the twenty ten midterms, which was a wipeout for Democrats in the House, as you remember, and brought in this whole new crop a lot of your favorite politicians today one in that election. A lot of your favorite politicians came into office in twenty ten and twenty twelve after the Obama victory in two thousand and eight, in large part because of the Tea Party movement. So we have a history here. It's

not even just the history of the last month. We have a history of the last ten years. Don't let them gaslight you. Don't let them convince you that our side is the problem. We're the radicals. We're the ones who need to have the security stay brought down in our heads. No, they're the authoritarians. That's the issue. You're listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Make sure you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeart Radio app or

wherever you get your podcasts. We'll press forward with speed at urgency, for we have much to do in this winter of peril, and significant possibilities. Much to repair, much to restore, much to heal, much to build, and much to gain. Few people on our nation's history have been more challenged, or found the time more challenging, more difficult than the time we're in now. Once in a century, virus that silently stalks the country has taken as many lives in one year as America lost in all of

World War Two. Millions of jobs have been lost, hundreds of thousands of businesses closed. A cry for racial justice, some four hundred years in the making, moves us. The dream of justice for all will be deferred no longer. A cry for survival comes from planet itself, a cry that can't be any more desperate or any more clear. And now a rise of political extremism, white supremacy, domestic

terrorism that we must confront and we will defeat. Notice how Biden puts together in this speech, the rise of political extremism, white supremacy. I still, where are all these white supremacists they're always talking about? Just wondering where are all the white supremacists we always seem about this rise of white supremacy. Well, because they've expanded the term so that it's almost meaningless. I mean, it encompasses so much that is not in any real way white supremacy that

it's hard to understand what they're talking about. They just use it now the same way they use fascism. I don't like, you're bad white supremacy. That's what it means now, just the same way when they call you a fascist, they're not actually saying that you have anything to do with a kind of state control of the economy, with socialism and nationalism melded together in this hybrid political system where there's authoritarianism at that No, it's not. That's actually

not what they're just saying, you're a fascist. You're a bad, evil, awful person. That's not what white supremacist means, too, because they refer to people who aren't in any way racist or white supremacists with that term just to smear them, just to attack them. But notice, and this was not an accident. The fight against white supremacy and the cries from a planet in jeopardy, you have to understand the way the leftist mind operates. They're looking at a mobilization.

They're looking at a mobilization through the fight against Trump voters, which they will just you know, the term that we'll use is why supremacy. Domestic terrorists, meaning you voted for Trump and think that Joe Biden is of a foon who's not up for the job and never should have been elected. But you know, here we are that now qualifies as being a domestic terrorist attitude. But also with the climate change stuff, they have a messianic feeling about this.

They have to save the world from climate change, and anyone who gets in the way is a denier, a term of obvious disparagement. They don't call you a denier because they want you to come over to their side. They don't call you a denier because they want to

exchange in good faith debate. What else is the term denier used for the Holocaust, in which case they want people to be thought of if you don't believe that anything the left and the envirol wackos want to do to save the planet, if you have a problem with any of that, you are inherently you are inherent a denier morally similar to a Holocaust denier, because that's just what they want people to think, if it's crazy, I understand this is such a Olympic. That's what they want

people to take away from it. They're putting these two things together because this is what the left wing mind will will mobilize behind, defeating and crushing Trumpism in all aspects of society as a domestic terrorist movement, and using climate change as the catch all the as the justification for any policy they want to implement at any time. And if you stand in the way of it, you don't want to save the planet. You see, if you stand in the way of it, you are a bad person.

This is the guy who's supposed to be all about unity. This is the guy who is, you know, stopping the rise to the seas and healing the planet and all the other stuff that you are hearing. So I think that's that's all worth noting. This is his version of unity. I mean, he's promising things like this. This was the inauguration speech, Play eighteen. All those are supported our campaign,

I'm humbled by the faith you placed in us. To all those who did not support us, let me say this, hear me out as we move forward, take a measure of me and my heart. If you're still disagree, so be it. That's democracy, that's American. The right to dissent peaceably in the guard rails of aripublic is perhaps this nation's greatest strength. Yeah, hear me, Clearly, disagreement must not lead to this union. And I pledged this to you.

I will be a president for all Americans, all Americans, and I promise you I will fight as hard for those who did not support me as for those who did. Sure, he will. We can really take that one to the bank, can't we. What is one thing that Joe Biden could do right now that would calm everything down and make it easier to believe there's even the intent. I don't even think that this is really a Democrat desire. I don't think they want unity. I think they want payback.

I think they want to punish people for their wrong think. I think their plan is to use their new powers to not only change society more in their image, but to track down and eradicate every vestige of Trumpism in our politics, culture, and all throughout society. That's what I think. But if they were trying to prove me wrong, you know how they could start? You know, you know what is one way that they could make it very clear

they have a different approach. All Joe Biden would have to do is say, you know what, guys, let's stop with all this domestic terrorist movement talk. Let's not let's not speak. Let's not have prominent Democrat officials and people that are clearly on team Biden in one way or another out there saying that we're gonna bring down the wrath of God or Gaya or you know whoever the left believes in. We're gonna bring that wrath down on

the heads of those who stood in Biden's way. No, say that we're all We're all gonna let bygones be bygones. Say that they forgive the transgressions of the Trump movement, even if they're still going to play out and you know, I'm not talking about the ones in court. They're gonna play out in different ways in society. Uh, say that they're willing to forgive their political opponents. Do you think they'd ever do that? Joe Biden says, you know, guys,

we should move past that ugliness. No, got us still take shots, got us still make sure you're you ram home the advantage you have, right now Democrats, that's that's the plan. So they're being sore winners, which is no surprise, and they're also starting to take it upon themselves to clear out. I mean it's not just in rhetorical terms that they're clearing things out, it's also it's also it actions. The White House fired Peter Rob This guy was the

nl RB, the National Labor Relations Board General Council. He's the top lawyer at the National Labor Relations Board. I know that sounds boring, but the NLRB matters a lot to Democrats because it's labor, it's unions, it's regulations that affect unions and workers. And this is right at the right where the policies and Democrats want where the rubber meets the road on a lot of things. So it

does matter. And this is what Rob wrote when he was unwilling to step down because he had a term that did not expire until the end of this year. So why are they firing him a year early. The guy's a career civil servant. He hasn't done anything. Well, he's not their guy, you see. You know this is what we heard when Trump came in. Oh, he could never get rid of Saint Komy, remember that sank To Komy. You could never get rid of him. He's such a

good and honorable man. Since Komi is a lanky weirdo and we all know it, a self righteous, oh, I mean, just bizarrely socially inept in love with himself weirdo. But if you fired him, oh he has a ten year term as FBI director. You can't do that. And that was the whole thing. Right. Well, here we have the Chief Council at the NLRB. I know it's not the head of the FBI, but it's not an insignificant position either, which is why the Democrats took action on it. Day one.

Day one, they targeted this, They went after this. This wasn't an act, so it's not something that just came up in normal business. Here is what he wrote. You know that that I think you should hear because just shows you the double standards that are underway right now

and what we're all being subjected to. Quote, it was my understanding the incoming administration intended to foster civility and union in this country and in the governing of this country, promising to adhere to the rule of law and enabling its chief law enforcement officers, the independence free from White House interference to enforce the laws of the United States. A presidential removal of the NLRB's General Counsel prior to the expiration of his or her term violates these promises

and principles. That is the letter that he that he put out, and you know what they did. They fired him. They fired him. Here's also from his letter. This is too. This is to the Office of the President from Peter rob The removal of a general Council would send an unfortunate precedent for the labor relations of this country that will permanently undermine the structure unless the proper functioning of

the NLRB. In particular, such action undermines Congress's intent that the office of the General Council be independent of the Board and the Executive Branch, so that the General Council, as chief prosecutor of the nlr can prosecute potential violations of the NLRA free from political influence and pressure. Indeed, my own experience, as well as my conversations with those who held this position before me, have confirmed that the need for the NLRB General Council to act independently without

constant fear of removal. I am concerned about the abrupt manner in which this is being done, which will cause unnecessary interference with immediate agency operations. Signed, Sincerely, Peter b rob former now General Counsel. So Biden team came in and said, yeah, you're not our guy. You're not a You're not a union loving, big business socialist type. So you're gone, You're out. Gee. I thought this was going to be the administration that restored all the integrity and honor.

This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Join the conversation and message Buck on Facebook, Instagram, or email Team Bucket iHeartMedia dot com. He may read it on the show. You know, he spoke in the death of his soul and we needed this. You know that was beautiful, you know, beauty heels, beauty heels, and there was not one part

of that that wasn't just medicine in the wound. And if you have any doubt that one person can make a difference, that one person's voice, one person's commitment, one person's bedrock faith can be the pivot point for a nation. Just watch that speech again and look at look at how the country responds, So we knew this was going

to happen. We knew this was going to happen. We knew that the way this would go is that they would just say they would just say the most flowery, loving and praising things possible about Joe Biden, not just day one, not just in the inauguration. I mean, if this was gonna be just a welcome to the welcome to the Big Chair moment for Joe Biden, I'd say, all right, I mean, but now this is going to continue on, This is going to continue on. This is where things are, and we can all just look at

this and understand exactly what's really happening here. They have their guy. It doesn't really matter that it's Joe Biden. It could be anything. Got a Democrat, and you're going to see the It's like the captain of the ship is taking the wheel and spending it, you know, hard to hard to port or is it starboard? Could be either way, I guess, and just turning the ship around. Here.

The media is going from dug in scorched earth opposition to walking in front of the Biden procession, you know, throwing flowers in the air and giving everybody you know, garlands of tulips and kisses, and oh my, that's where

we are now. So understand it's not only are they going to be propping of Biden in every way that they can, they're also going to be taking the position, um, they're also going to be taking the position that anybody that doesn't see it this way is a terrible human being and somebody that we should really all be very concerned about. But this was my this is my favorite one. So this guy at NBC, because you know NBC News, same same politics at CNN. Don't don't ever be fooled

by that. It's you could think of these places as extensions of each other. There's really no difference in the kind of and people do bounce back and forth. ABC News, NBC News, CNN, MSNBC. It's like a big circle. Just go round and round and round. Try to get the most money in your contract you can. On the right, they're like nowhere for you to go. On the right. There's it's a lot more limited real estate as we know. Anyway, here's Peter Alexander over at NBC News. I just want you,

I want you to hear this. This is his first chance to ask the incoming administration to new question. He's setting the tone right away up speaking truth to power. Play would the battle for truth may be as tough a fight right now as is the battle against coronavirus? How do you and present Biden's plan to combat disinformation that in many ways led to that assault we went just two weeks ago today on the Capitol. Well, I think, Peter,

there are a number of ways to combat misinformation. One of them is accurate information and truth and data and sharing information even when I just had to hear and even when it is not meeting the expectations of people at home who are desperate for this crisis to be over. We'll have more to share with you in the next few days, hopefully before the weekend. But what we plan to do is not just return these daily briefings Monday

through Frata, not Saturdays and Sundays. I'm not a monster, but also to return briefings with our health officials and public health officials. We want to do those regularly in a dependable way, with data shared with all of you and with the public, so that they can also track progress from yep, that's the question you get from Peter Alexander, how do you and President Biden plan to combat disinformation? They're the new regime? Dude, did you not get the memo?

You're supposed to be combating their disinformation. You're supposed to be holding their feet to the fire. You're supposed to be asking questions meant to get around their propaganda and evasions. But no, he just let he let the game, let the game out right away. They're on the same team, working toward the same end. That's the whole thing. It's just gonna be one big high five circle up there in the West Wing, everyone just saying, yes, great Biden,

where's the bigger threat of authoritarianism? When the entire media is opposed to and benefiting from its opposition to a president, or when they're all in the president's pocket, remember that you're in the freedom hunt. Thanks for listening to The Buck Sexton Show podcast. Get the latest from Bucks at buck sexton dot com. We got a friend on the scene down in DC to talk about what's going on there, and also, like me, he's a former intelligence community guy.

So much to dig into now with this proposed domestic terrorism law and all the rhetoric we're hearing from this Biden team. Jack Possobic is with us now. He's a correspondent for One American News, a former naval intelligence officer. Jack. Great to have you back, Hey Buck, thanks for having me on, calling in live from the Green Zone here in Washington, DC. Tell me about it. What's it look like?

I mean, everything seemed okay yesterday, although it looked like they were preparing for an invasion from you know, China or North Korea or something. Look, I gotta tell you there are enough troops, trucks, and general military equipment in this town right now to repel an invasion from a near peer state power. I've never seen anything like this. I've been living in DC almost ten years in any response to anything that's happened, and we have had attacks here.

We've had protests, We've had riots all last summer. We had police attacked, assaulted, etc. Places burned down. We had mobs running literally running through the streets of DC and Georgetown going up to people. You never saw this up. The White House was attacked at one point over the summer. They didn't even put a humby in front of it. Wow. And what's the reason for this continued heavy presence after

the inauguration. You know, I've been in briefings both on the record and off the record with PAOs from the National Guard and other servicemen that I know. They keep telling me that there are no credible, active threats to Washington at this time. Is there chatter on social media? You bet. It's social media. That's what you'll find there

every single day of the week. But you're not finding anything that rises to the level of a specific delienated threat to the Capitol, to the inauguration, to Joe Biden, to Washington, or the Capitol building itself. It's just not there. Most of the time. You see people, they're walking around. In some cases, they're armed in some cases. Yesterday we saw really what we saw yesterday that was significant, I think was foot patrols, massive amounts of foot patrols surrounding DC,

throughout the Capitol region, throughout the National Mall. Forty soldiers fifty soldiers at a time, just marching around unarmed, yet really conducting those presents operations kind of giving everyone, I guess you know, some sense of that it is on lockdown, But as far as providing actual prevention to an attack, I'm not sure if there was anything that was going on. Speaking of Jack Posobic, he's correspondent for one American news

network and a former Naval intelligence officer. Jack, You've had one hundred and thirty five civil rights organizations, according to Fox News, signing an open letter to Congress yesterday urging them not to expand terrorism related authorities. And the letter was signed on behalf of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, and they say that there should not. Essentially, there's already plenty of laws in the books about terrorism.

Why would we be expanding it. What's the purpose of it. I think we should all see this as as troubling because even in Joe Biden's speech, he is targeting, He's targeting individuals and groups on the right with a very broad brush. And we're hearing that they're going to mobilize state, local, federal, you name it, even DoD resources against this insurgency threat. As John Brennan, the XCI director calls it. That that to me, that all sounds really kind of menacing. Look.

I spent time in the ICP, you sent time in the ic We know the types of tools that were used to wage the global war on terror. We know the reach and the power of the NSA, our sigate capabilities, are comment capabilities, everything that can be done through that. You know, we call it the magic Box of Fort Meade, with everything that they can look into around the world. Those tools were not designed to be used on the domestic American populace. They were not designed to be used

for American citizens. And what they're attempting to do is to widen the aperture of the authorities and allowances for

those tools so that they can be turned. Ever it seems ever so slightly, but you and I know Buck that the minute you start widening this net, you are going to be catching a lot of people that are not involved in any type of extremism, certainly not involved in any type of terrorism or any active threats because and you're noticing this with even the same words when you're talking about the National Guard, and I love the troops, there's no question about that, but we're talking about authorities

here for political leaders when they start saying, well, we're concerned, we have concerns, and that we're going to start using flags and what my reporting has shown out is that they're going through the National Guard soldiers and when they're talking about this vetting process. These are the early stages of it. When they're vetting someone, that means they're going to your social media, to your Facebook, to your TikTok, to your Twitter or whatever you have up and they're

looking for what they call indicators or flags. Well, what are some of the things that's ARMYCID or FBI and a NCIS is starting to get this directive now too. They're looking at do you like the NRA, do you have a picture of the Gadsden flag? Don't tread on me? Have you liked Turning Point USA? The Patriot Riders which go out for military funerals. These are all different types of things that they're looking for as just potential indicators

for extremism. MAGA hats, Keep America Great hats. These are all endemic of the political opposition to the current administration. And so you've got a situation now where it's really one step removed from almost declaring your opposition to all the extremists. And I think that that's what you're just mentioning that Biden talked about in his speech yesterday. Yes, and they're certainly not going to be particularly discerning if it's something that allows them to chill the political opposition

speech to them as well. Right, you don't. You don't have to lock up everybody, Jack, as you and I well know, you only have to pick a few targets here and there with these expanded authorities, and everybody else gets the message. We see that with these social media suppression campaigns, and I think we're going to see that with some of the way they try to apply the law here in any kind of expanded authority sense, which

is what they're taught talking about. But I also want to ask you, as a correspondent for One American News, the calls for your including some of your fellow journalists out there or you know, fellow media people, to stop carriage of One America, to stop carriage of news Max and Fox News along with it. By the way, this I have not I mean, I'm not surprised by it,

but have you seen this before. It feels like they believe with the new Biden administration, this is within their sites now to just deep platform not only they're political but also their commercial rivals. Right, once again, you've got a situation where it's yet another tactic where any dissent, any opinion that doesn't agree with them, not only you know, look, I grew up in the nineties, right, you know, around the same age. I remember that we used to always say,

if you don't like what you're listening to, turn the channel. Right. That was sort of the Howard Sterns standing, turn the channel, you have to listen to it. But now we're told that no freedom of speech has to be a positive right. They call it positive freedom, meaning that you have to take away the speech that you don't like, that you disagree with. This again, is going to lead to a

chilling effect in American political discourse. And you're already seeing that now today, where people are taking down pictures on their social media, they're making sure to be very quiet around the workplace so they don't say anything that makes anyone think that it could trip their sensibilities. At the taking off Trump bumper stickers, you are getting to a situation where you are essentially what you're essentially doing is that you're ending any meaningful opposition to the left in America.

Speaking of Jack Posobic, one American news correspondent and former Naval intelligence officer, and Jack, I just I want to know what you think about the fact that We saw violence yesterday in America from leftists, unsurprisingly, attacking cops and buildings, including even the headquarters of the Knee and c in Portland. There was also a dust up in Denver. So we had a couple of places where there were effectively riots, and the one in Portland really targeted immigrations and customs

enforcement offices. But isn't it isn't it? Well, I want your take, actually, just telling me what do you what do you think is the message that Americans should take from the fact that you're there in the so called green zone in DZ at green zone in DC with thirty thousand troops are so deployed for a quiet and peaceful day in DC, and it's actually leftists out in Portland who are trying to burn things down and intimidate

federal officers. Yeah. I mean, it's it's really amazing that, you know, if Joe Biden and John Brennan and all the rest of these guys want to actually do something about domestic terrorism and insurrectionist groups. Boy, I've got a whole list for you of groups, starting with Portland. Then we go to Seattle, you go to the people that were perpetrating Chazz that have still to this day not

been arrested and locked up. Actually, they got one of them in Tallahassee, Florida because he had traveled up to Chaz calls himself a YPG sniper because he went over to Syria into training these individuals. And I made an entire documentary about this. You can go to Antifa movie dot com and watch it. I've brought in people from

the left and brought in people from conservatives. I brought in Black Lives Matter people who all said that this group Antifa, what they do with their insurrectionists, They're agitators, They're exciters. They want violent overthrow of the US system. They are not Republicans, they are not Democrats. They want to overthrow our system, the entire status quo. So no, of course, they are not supporters of Joe Biden in the same way that they were not supporters of Donald

Trump or Hillary Clinton. They represent something far far outside the political mainstream, and and this is key. They are taking direct action in the streets to achieve it. Jack, what is the benefit that the Democrats and the left wing media, the Democrat aligned media get from ignoring and downplaying Antifa, even when they're attacking, say the DNC headquarters

in Portland. Not I mean, if you flip on CNN right now, very unlikely you'll see the footage that I've seen from people like Andy No and I know you've got your excellent documentary that people can watch for an in depth. Very unlikely you'll see the black clad lunatics of Antifa just yesterday on those channels. Why is that, Well, the reason is twofold number one. Because they only want to portray one side as being negative, not of course

being conservative, being Trump supporters, right. But they'll take groups like Proud Boys or Oathkeepers and then use that to paint with a broad brush across anyone who just happened to vote for the guy for office, right, and which is obviously not fair. But at the same time, they want to keep these groups like Antifa around because they know that for ninety percent of the time, Antifa's targets

will be the same political opponents of the left. They will be Donald Trump, they will be Trump supporters, they will be conservatives, and they know that Antifa has no holds barred. They will go to your home, they will go to your place of business, they will go after you on social media, right, they will go and do the things that the Democrats can't, and of course with a wink and a nod, they'll disavow everything, but they'll

never take meaningful action against us. You know, we're going through and identifying everybody that was at the Capitol riot that it went in. They're using facial recognition, they're asking for tips. And look, if people broke the law, they broke the law, we should do that. But why isn't that same standard being applied to these groups that have been doing this night after night in Portland and Seattle

and across the country. Jack, Before we let you go, and I know you've got to get back to reporting on what's happening right there in DC because you're in the middle of all the security precautions. Are what are your biggest concerns and primary observations about this now Biden national security team that he's surrounding himself with. Some of

them are about to be appointed, others are already in place. Look, he talks about unity, and he talks about healing, and yet he surrounds himself with people that are looking to do the exact opposite of that. And so I think it is distorting his message. You know, I'm going to take Joe Biden as his words what he says. He wants unity, He wants unity. But why are you putting people around you, sir? Why are you putting people around you that are seeking to ask for unity under submission?

Very good question, one that I think we're going to find out, unfortunately the hard way in the weeks ahead. But Jack, keep your head on a swivel. My friends, stay safe and come back and join us soon. All right, appreciate it. They have to get you down here sometime. Absolutely, Jack Posovic one American News. Everybody should be following his work and check him out. You're listening to the Buck

Sexton Show podcast. Make sure you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeart radio app or wherever you get your podcasts. So President Biden wants a theme of his presidency to be unifying the country. Does he think that Nancy flows in Chuchhomer should drop to be potentially divisive Senate impeachment trial. Well, he spoke today, as you all saw, about unity in his inaugural address and the importance of unity in bringing the country together and the resolve of the American people

in helping to get through this moment. You know, we are confident though that just like the American people can the Senate can also multitask and they can do their constitutional duty while continuing to conduct the business of the American people. A real question, of course, it comes from the new White House correspondent for Fox News, Peter Doocey. A new A real question, and a new question. How can you be calling for unity? Let's think this one

through for a second. How can they be calling for unity on the one hand, but on the other hand, they are telling us that there should be be a post presidency impeachment of Donald Trump. Now, let me just say, this would be disaster now that Biden is in office and everybody could you know, there wasn't some insurrection on inauguration Day and everything that was all hype and craziness and everything's okay. Everyone can calm down now that that's the case. Can we also calm down about the fact

that the president didn't incite an insurrection. He lost the election. It's over. Biden's in power. Now, what's the point of allowing this spiteful after the fact? Clearly part is in punishment, and why would the GOP go along with it, then, therefore making it a bipartisan in punishment. What's the point, Ah, we all know what it is. See, this is the problem. The public is aware of this. They will tell us

it is because of our sacred democracy. They will tell us, these politicians, it's because whatever we have to do here to you know, put America back on the truck of truth, honesty, justice in the American way, whatever, right. A lot of rhetoric, a lot of boilerplate phrases about this, That's what they'll say. What's the reality, though, what's really happening here with this? It's that they want to prevent Trump from running for

office again. Because there are obviously all of the Democrats and a pretty healthy contingent of Republicans, including Republicans who were supportive of Trump once he came into office because it was good for their careers. They want to stop

him from running again. Now, if what he did was so awful and so heinous that it would even require the removal after I should say, the impeachment after leaving office, and the barring from future office, if what he did requires that, or should I should get that based on the merits? Why would they be so concerned about him running again in the first place. Wouldn't wouldn't he be

rejected by the American electorate. Wouldn't the Republican Party say no, Remember, there are a lot of people who have careers and money and a lot of things riding on not only who the president is, but who is the leader of the GOP. I mean, the day facto leader, the most powerful person in it. A lot of media personalities, a lot of news networks, and certainly consultants and advisors. And there's a whole whole groups out there of people who really benefit based upon who the head of the GOP is.

And the McConnell faction, the more old guard GOP style group, does not want Donald Trump to even have the option of coming back because they worry about two things. One that he will use that to maintain a real control over the party going forward, and two that he could actually end up winning in a primary again, which is what would have to happen. He'd have to go through

the primary and he would win again. Now, let me just say this, it's disastrous for the GOP to do this, no matter what they tell you, because the base will feel like this was unnecessary, vindictive, unjustified, and so that's why Democrats wanted to it. It's nothing but a pure win for Democrats. They get safety from Donald Trump running for office ever again, and they get a kind of political civil war within the GOP. Why give them that victory on top of the victory they've had in this

last election and the Georgia Senate races. I don't think so. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Follow fuck on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. You know, the thing that was to me so striking about today was that kind of comforting sense, even with the masks, even with the distancing, even without

the crowd. You know, those shots inside Statutory Hall that we're familiar with, you know, from every inauguration, the site of the Clintons and the Bushes and the Obama's, you know, the the Avengers, you know, sort of the super Marvel superheroes back up there together, all in one place, well with their friend Joe Biden, all of them, I think, feeling like that, all of them sharing that same view that a lot of Americans had, which is that you know,

we did narrowly avert catastrophe in America, and that they were all there to kind of, you know, kind of to buttress their buddy Joe Biden and see him in some ways as the as the natural and necessary corrective to what's been going on. The Avengers. That's right. Former presidents are like the Avengers. Look, I do think that this is a principle that got a little bit overshadowed for some during the Trump era. But politicians are just

people doing a job, and we know that. I think that we can go back to that universal understanding on the right now. I think we should be there. I think that most of us understood that about Trump, and I remember even some of the most art and early supporters of Trump that I know would refer to him as essentially the vessel, the tool. He was the hammer to deal with the nail. Right, he was the drainer of the swamp. It's not that everything he did was

perfect or that he was superhuman. But we do want to move away and should always be away, from thinking of politicians as more than just people we've given some authority too to get a job done. They are not the Avengers, They are not superheroes. They are just like you and me. In fact, they're generally a little slimy or less ethical and honestly, let's be real, less intelligent

than you and me. But that's where we are. So that's all being thrown out, that basic understanding of the role that politics and politicians specifically should play in American life, that is being abandoned right now by all these Democrats who are such enormous fans, these journals who love Biden. Oh they love Biden so much. And I think we should all be very clear, very aware of what those

implications will be going forward. This is not going to change, and they're going to continue to be very nasty about the Trump administration for sure. I mean, if you're looking for like a just a vicious you know, you know, but just gross, little swamp swamp tastic journal tough to do better. Someone said recently that I kind of remind them of Michael Scott from the Office and his feelings about Toby is how I feel in the world of media about Tapper. I think that's pretty accurate. I think

he may be. He may be the Toby to my Michael Scott. I don't even know the guy. I've only interacted them a couple of times. I just know he's the worst he's just the worst. And here he is with a really a really magnanium comment about the outgoing administration, plate twelve. Now, America, meet your new first family. The Bidens are walking into the house, now the White House, where the President and first Lady will make their new home.

And for anybody out there wondering, yes, there has been a deep clean of the building, given the fact that the previous occupants did not take coronavirus particularly seriously, so do not worry about that. There is no evidence that he could point to that that is true. And there's also very limited evidence at best that cleaning surfaces prevents the transmission of coronavirus. Just to be very clear about that, there's a lot that they don't know. But they run

around pretending like they have all these answers. But just just a gross, a gross thing to say from again he is he is Toby from the Office, just just the worst. And then there are other people that you have to wonder why they don't understand how silly and sad their reaction to all this. Maybe, uh, Stephen Colbert, he's supposed to be a comedian. I mean, say what you will about Jay Leno. I never thought that Mark. Who's the other guy, not Leno, you know the other one. Yeah, yeah,

thank you. I never thought Letterman was funny. I just I just always thought this guy, I didn't get it. I thought it was all just smoking mirrors around him and the you know, the channel and the media apparatus rounder just kind of propped him up, and he's all these writers. I've never found this guy funny. He seemed like a jerk a lot of the time, actually trying really hard to be funny. And people who work for him, he had a terrible reputation just in the business, horrible reputation.

And never mind the stuff that came out about him and what he did to the guy's wife was married, and then the blackmail and the I mean a mess, a total mess, Jay Leno. I don't think it's super funny. But like I always when I used to I was a kid, when I would watch Jane Leno, I would stay up late, which I learned now is a bad idea. I should go to bed by eleven o'clock every night. I wish I'd known this when I was younger, or understood this, but it's so much better for your life.

But anyway, I used to stay up Lena late when I was a kid. You know, after my mom would put me in bed or whatever, I try to go turn on the TV and watch them Jay Leno, and I'll say this about the guy. He was trying to make people laugh. He was like, I'm doing show biz. I'm making jokes. Everybody can laugh at them. I'm not punching down. We have totally lost that with these late

night commedian that's gone. These people are political pundits who have jokes written for them now, and they're not very smart political pundits. They don't know very much, but they have big audiences because they have these legacy media institutions that prop them up. I mean, Stephen Colbert was kind of funny when he was essentially doing his what was the name of that, the Colbert Rapport, right, the Colbert Report.

He was kind of funny when he was doing that, but that was of course making fun of the right. I think it was loosely based off of Bill O'Reilly. And now he's got this big slot and his show, his show is recorded, there's live audiences. It's not far from where I live, so I often poss it in New York city where the Colbert Studio Colbert whatever studio is And this is what he said about Joe Biden's victory.

I played fourteen. Well you did it. You survived the last four years, and your reward a shiny new old president, good old Joe. Because today, at eleven forty nine am, Joseph robin At Biden Junior was sworn in as the forty sixth President of the United States. We watched it, Evi's here. We watched it together. The inauguration was a joyful occasion, like I do with most happy things. I

cried a lot. It was true. It was extremely emotional, and not entirely in the way that I expected, because I have to tell you I have zero gloat in me. There is no end zone dance here. What I feel is enormous relief. Yeah, an adult should not cry with joy at the election of the most old school establishment machine politician you could possibly find. Okay, there's nothing new or interesting or exciting or revolutionary or anything about this guy. But even if there were, you don't cry with joy

unless it's your family, right. I mean, you know, if you're and I'll give you know. Joe Biden can cry, Oh, my gosh, you didn't call a doctor. I know what an evil person I am, but to cry because your politician is now in office as an adult, especially one who works in the medias around celebrities all the time and should have a bit more of an act as if you've been there before. Attitude just goes to show you. I mean, these people are they're they're really devoted to this.

I mean, there's there's something a little bit sad. They convinced themselves that Donald Trump was the monster that they kept saying on TV. They can they convinced themselves that Donald Trump was a threat to our democracy, that he was going to destroy the republic. Otherwise, you can't you can't explain. You can't explain why somebody would cry like this, or why he would say that he cried and he sounded serious to me. And he does this all the time.

I mean, he does political commentary and then throws a couple of jokes in, which is really not the way. It's that that would not be my preference. But it's sad. It's sad that people get this attached to a politician, especially people who are supposed to be dealing with the news and dealing with commentary on a regular basis, But it has been a the four years we have been through. The amount of hate that has has been piled on top of Trump and yes, his voters, is like nothing

else we've ever seen. There's never been a there's never been something quite like this before, and how that plays out is really anybody's guests At this point. I just think that you're you're going to see You're going to see a lot of people who show you that even though Trump is gone, they've now emotionalized and internalized politics in a way that is unhealthy. That's an easy way of putting it. You're listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcast.

Make sure you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeart Radio act or wherever you get your podcasts. A lot of executive orders on day one from Biden, not not wasting any time trying to erase some things that Trump did, but there's one that didn't get nearly the same amount of attention, at least not in the opening hours of the by and presidency as many others. But it's a reminder of what kind of an administration we're going to see here and what sorts of decisions it will make

in order to play k the left. There's an executive order now on preventing a combating discrimination on the basis of gender identity and sexual or sexual orientation. Now that all that sounds good, right. No one wants discrimination, no one advocates for discrimination, and we should all treat each other with respect and dignity always. But what this actually means,

Let's be very clear about this. The way this executive order is to be enforced is now any educational institution that actually gets money from the federal government is going to have they are not allowed to discriminate on the basis of gender identity. This now means a two hundred pound six f tall male who wants to play on the women's field hockey team is, by federal order, mandated to be able to do so. This also means that women's teams must be open to it, as well as

women's scholarships for sports. So now you can have you can have individuals who are transgender women who decide that they want to And this has happened. This is no longer theoretical. This is no longer a question of, oh, you're taking us down a slippery slope. There have been cases brought already. You have track and field stars on the women's side who are biologically male. Now, I know, you know, we talk a lot about brainwashing, and we talk a lot about how all the trump called, you know,

the media says all this stuff, who's really brainwashed? The side that says any person can observe clearly and obviously that males overwhelmingly have a physical advantage in strength, size, and speed over females, and there's a reason for separation based upon gender, in athletic competition, in bathroom usage, and

a whole bunch of things. Anyone can observe this. And you know, I love it when the stupid libs come after me for this, as they have in the past when I've said, you know this, who oh, will you know, ron Da Rouse, you would be able to would be able to kick your butt or whatever. And I'm kind of like, Okay, you think maybe the one of the greatest female MMA fighters of all time might be able to in a bare knuckle fight beat a and a lot of you're like, you'd beat you, but that's not

the point. I might be able to take a guy that has to sit in a desk hours at hours a day doing a radio show in a fight, and there's like you're using that as the point of comparison, the greatest female fighter perhaps of the last twenty years against some dude who you know is eating too many donuts these days, they're in quarantine. I don't think you're making the case lia you think you are, because yeah, yeah, I was a college athlete. I know other people are

college athletes too. They'll tell you the male female and this is in no way disparaging female female athletics or sports. But I mean, if you if you were, and I'm pretty sure here's an example of this. You know, the women's the women's national soccer team, and I a lot you don't care about soccer. The women's national soccer team is the best, one of the best in the world. American women's national soccer teams one of the best in the world. I think it's generally considered the like number

one or number two team. And they scrimmaged not not longer. They scrimmaged the men's you know, Olympic development. I think it was sixteen sixteen, an under team, so basically sixteen and seven, maybe sixteen and fifteen year olds, and they got crushed, absolutely crushed. So that's the best women's team of adults in the world playing against the US you know, under sixty or sixteen and underteam. Just to give a sense that's met and there were men right male female

disparity and athletic We all know it's there. Why do liberals insist that we cannot observe what is apparent and make decisions based upon what is true. This is one of these examples. And you could say, oh, but it

doesn't really matter. Really, if you had trained your whole life to be in track and field as a woman and you were going to you set a state record in high school, would it bother you if you if you had all those early mornings, all that blood, sweat and tears to be number one, you know in uh in the high jump or you know, number one in one hundred meter dash, and then some guy who used to be called uh, you know, used to be called phil comes along and now wants to be called Philomena

and says that that he's that he's a female and was running in this race and sets the state record? Uh did? Does that? Does that sit well with you if you're that woman, or if you're that coach or if you're that team that it's at that record. Is that fair and this is happening? I'm not. This is not theoretical. There are already cases that I've been brought

about this. We all can see this, all right. An average athletic uh you know, a male of average athletic ability is going to be bigger, stronger, and faster than than eighty to ninety percent of the women that he comes across in the same sport, and again have to be average athletic ability. All right. That's I'm just telling you. That's where this is. That's we can all see it. I'm not. I mean, but people get angry about this.

It's about equality, No, it's not. It's actually discriminating against women, is what it's doing. This is actually harming women in the name of equality for all the sexes. That's what they're doing. They can't wait on this, arguments to what do they do. But see, transgenderism in general now has become the the the tip of the spear for the socially progressive left. This is this is the four one

of their civil rights movement. And so they've decided that whatever they have to do however, they can push this downfield, they'll do it. So, yeah, now you're gonna you're gonna have, once again under federal law if you want to be and this has happened, if you want to be a transgender MMA fighter. So now you're really now you're really harming.

I mean, now you're really you know, putting people in danger because the male female disparity, which this has happened already before fallon Fox was the name of the fighter transgender female. You're gonna be able to sue and now fight and you'd be an MMA champion. This is what the Biden at This is the science crowd. This is the oh we believe the data people, Yeah, sure, sure they do. I mean, this is this is just this is crazy. Welcome to the Biden administration. This is the

Buck Sexton Show podcast. Follow fuck on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. What's next for the Biden Administration's cracked down on all things Trump. We've got a man who is fearless in his opposition to the machinations of the aggressive left, Sean Davis. He is co founder of the Federalist. The Federalist dot com, as you all know, is one of my favorite sites. Out there. Sean is a frequent writer for IT co founder of IT Sean, great to have you back. Thanks

for having me back. Happy New Year. Yeah, Man, tell me this. You know, we had all these troops gathered and still gathered in DC, and yet the only violence that we've seen in the last twenty four hours was a bunch of Antifa lunatics in a couple of US cities. What a shock it is. I'll tell you, I've really enjoyed the one eighty that the left and the krupt

corporate media have done. You'll recall that when they were trying to burn down the White House and breach its perimeter and set fire to churches in DC, when they're attacking cops and attacking senators, we were told that the Trump administration, even contemplating the use of things like tear gas to dispense with mobs, was actually a war crime. It violated the Geneva Convention in the Chemical Weapons Treaty, and it just proved what an awful tyrant, an authoritarian,

this awful Orange dictator was. And yet the second the Capitol had a threat to it, Man, we had thousands of troops roll in. They threw up walls, which for you know, years they told us don't work, topped him with barbed wire. And it's just fascinating to me how situational that the left wings ethics are on this stuff.

It was bad when Trump did it, but when they needed to protect themselves themselves from the bad Orange Man and his awful domestic terrorist supporters, suddenly this is a thing that we have to do in its only common sense, and anyone who thinks it's a bad idea is probably also a terrorist. What do you think they're really going

to do here? With all this talk of expanding and they're being pretty explicit about it, I mean, people like John Brennan and Ben Rhodes, and this open call for not only a dprogramming and reprogramming of Trump supporters and using the apparatus of the state now in the Biden administration's hands to do it, but also the expansion of the surveillance and law enforcement and even military capability to handle this threat. On what basis do you think they're

going to try to go forward with that? Well, my friend David Reboy, who's just a fascinating and provocative foreign policy thinker, has said about the left of the Democrat Party that it doesn't have any foreign enemies. All its enemies are domestic. And I think we're seeing that take shape.

And when they tell us, when they show us who they are, when they start start using the language of re education, and when they start using the language of gulags, when they start referring to their own citizens as insurrectionists and insurgents and terrorists, we should believe them. We shouldn't scop anymore and say, oh, that's silly talk. These people are crazy. Yeah, they might be, but they're also in charge.

And given what they spent the last four years doing what they did during the last campaign, which was used a bunch of foreigners and the US intelligence and surveillance apparatus to spy on a campaign they didn't like, they clearly have no qualms about turning all the tools of the state against its own citizens, because after all, we are not citizens, We are subjects to be controlled according

to the last view of the world. And Sean, what do you take or what do you make of the Biden the calls for unity that seemed to come in the same speech. We'll hear about a call for unity, but then a ramping up domestic counter terrorism efforts against this this radical white supremacist you know, pro Trump movement out there. I still see there saying where they keep talking about all these white supremacists, There was no where

does this come from? Where are these mobs of white supremacists that we're always being lectured are a threat to overturn the government and therefore need the national security apparatus turned against them? You asked, you know where all these terrorists? Where all these white supres I generally see them on CNN. To be honest, one of the ringleaders of the attack

on the Capitol was on CNN. They also always have and I'm not even going to mention him because he doesn't deserve the attention one of the white supremacist looney tunes who has involved in the Charlottesville stuff. So you ask where are they? I see them on CNN Because the media actually has an interest in puffing up this thing that is really just a small handful of nut jobs and coops and trying to pretend like it's the

whole country. And I think everyone needs to understand when people like Biden, who just last week referred to two elected GOP senators as Nazis, when that guy goes out and he says, oh, oh, we all need unity. What he doesn't want is unity. What he wants is submission. And there's a huge difference there. And there was an email I was on yesterday that talked about the difference

between authoritarianism and totalitarianism. And authoritarians want you to do certain things, they want you to behave, They want you to comply. So talitarians want to control your thoughts, in your words, and everything you do. It's not enough to comply. You have to think the right thing. And that's exactly what this Biden demand for unity is. It is a demand for submission, and anyone who doesn't submit will be

targeted by the state. We're speaking of Sean Davis. He is a co founder of the Federalist dot com, So you should all be checking out when you get whenever you're looking for news of the day. Sean, how do we now become I guess our own version of hashtag resist or you know what do you see now as the the direction and mobilization of the GOP of those who voted for Trump, whether with you know, with passion or just did it because they thought they were better

than Biden. Whoever, where do we go from here to deal with Biden's administration that's already taking a very aggressive posture toward the disbelievers right. Why, I think the most important thing the right has to do is understand the

current landscape. There's a lot of people in the Republican Party, many in positions of significant power, who continue living in this fantasy world in which it's still two thousand and four and the Iraq War is awesome, and spreading democracy is a great thing, and we've got to do stuff for the corporations because they're super important. And the first thing we have to do is recognize that's not now anymore.

It's not two thousand and four, Okay, the neo conservatism and the corporatism, that's not the thing that actually gets people elected anymore. It is conservatism. It is populism and

its patriotism. And so I think until the Republican Party, especially its leaders in Washington, understand what the voters actually want, and unfortunately many of them to test their own voters, until they get it through their heads what the voters actually want and why they turn to someone like Trump in the first place, the GOP is going to have a very long, rocky road for the short and medium term. If they don't come to grips what their voters actually

want from their elected representatives. Why is it even even an open question that there may be enough Republicans to go along with a post and in my view, unconstitutional and certainly unwarranted, post presidency impeachment of Donald Trump. What the heck is going on in the I mean, Mitch McConnell has has already said Trump was responsible for the

insurrections or he's pushed very far in that direction. We heard about the threats that Trump had if he pardoned the wrong people on the last day, notably Julian Assange, that they would be more likely to convict him later. What's the what's the GOP calculation here as you see it? For those that are making that calculation, well, I think the calculation is that they don't like what Trump actually represented,

which was a complete change to the ruling order. And he was He was a very severe, deep threat to the party establishments on both sides, which is why he was so heavily opposed by them. They are used to being able to go and do what they want to do and do their deals in the back and make all the right laws and stuff for their big corporate donors and then go off and laugh and have parties about it and get and get rich. That is not

what voters want. And what Trump revealed was number one, just how broken the establishment is, and number two, how utterly craven and incompetent that the Republican Party establishment is. To go in there and say how high whenever the media says jump just reveals how completely and deeply out of touch the party intelligency and the party leadership is. They really think that the country and the voters work

for them, not the other way around. Sean, before let you, before I let you, Jet, I just want to know what is I've been asking, you know, people whose opinion I value and trust about this, and those are the people that have on the show like you, what is your case for optimism and what feels like a tough time right now to be a conservative? Well, I've got

I've got two reasons for optimism. One is theological. You know, we're all sinful, we're all fallen, but we have a savior who died and rose again to save all of us, So that should be our ultimate hope. And our ultimate optimism, and the second is more practical and historical. We still live in the greatest nation that this earth has ever seen. We have the greatest constitution instead of laws the world has ever seen, and we have the greatest people that

the world has ever seen. America is a great country. It is an amazing country. And just because we hit a few speed bumps and we'd let a few kops take control isn't a reason to go and throw the baby out with the bathwater. So we have infinite, untold reasons to be optimistic about our future, even if it seems like it's a little dark right now. Sean Davis everybody Federalist dot com for his latest sewn Appreciate it, Buddy, talk to you soon. Thank you, Buck, you're in the

freedom hunt. Thanks for listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcast to get the latest from Buck at buck Sexton dot com. And then we have to figure out a way to solve this health crisis with a vaccine. That's what's going to do this. You can throw all the money you want at the problem, but it won't solve it until we actually find a way to get to some kind of healthy way to get people to go

back to restaurants, to go back to work. And I think you're seeing that with some of the executive orders yesterday the President Biden put in place around trying to get schools back up and running that will help with the economy, trying to get ppe in places that it hasn't been, using the Defense Production Act really for the first time in a meaningful way to try to deal with testing and all the other equipment that we haven't

had access to over this past year. Let me tell you this right now, all indicators from what we can see, all indicators are that the Defense or that the Biden team coming in does not actually have any particularly new innovative plan whatsoever to deal with COVID. Okay, so well,

I wantever to be very clear about this. They can say as much as they want that Biden is the Great Savior, that they can make all these claims, and that's that's fine, right, But when we were actually looking at the numbers, what you're going to see is that they're going to have to engage in a lot of rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic and well pretending that what they're doing is somehow better than it is. I guess the Titanic is probably a bad analogy. But

rearranging the goal post, there we go. That's the analogy I was looking for, Not the Titanic. Rearranging the goal posts. Here, they're gonna have to move them because, for example, they keep saying we're gonna get you one hundred million vaccinations after Biden's first hundred days, before Biden was even sworn in, they were already doing guess what about a million vaccinations

a day. Now, I'm not a huge math guy, but if you're doing about a million a day, and after one hundred days you're gonna be at one hundred million, and you're doing a million a day before you come into office, what exactly have you done? What exactly have you added to this um? But nope, not not, not gonna be the way this is played. They're gonna act like it's oh, so different. They're gonna act like it's such a different situation. And you know, here, here you go.

I'm trying to I'm trying to find there's so many examples of this. I mean, one of them is that we're now being told why you have to master I'm sorry, I lose my mind on this. I lose my mind on this. Okay, they really want us to mask up even after we're vaccinated. Here, here you go. This is the story the Washington Post today. Yes, people with coronavirus vaccinations should still distance from each other. Here's why. And

they get into this whole description of it. You know what, there's you know what they're they're a reason for it is well, even if you're vaccinated, it's not one hundred percent. And we haven't studied whether you could you could fail to be infected but still pass this to someone else. This is a new me they're creating now, new medical standards. No one before this has thought, well, even if you don't get infected, because your body as soon as it

recognized the virus clears it. Even if you don't get infected, you're gonna give it to somebody else. That's not the case for the measles vaccine. Do you know what the measles vaccine vaccine rate is? The vaccination rate for measles in terms of success against it is ninety seven percent. All right, that's not one hundred percent. So does that mean that we have to always be you know, you have to always be afraid that maybe you've been exposed

to measles, even if you've been vaccinated. No, because there's herd immunity. And because so even if the rate is not a hundred, we're told though, you have to continue, you have to continue to act like you could get this and spread it. This is just they just keep doing this. They like this, they have this mentality. They're locked in on this. Think about it. My mentality is I want us to have our lives back. Their mentality is no, no, no, Oh my gosh. There's still there's risks.

There's risks. There's risks. Yeah, there's always risks. Vaccine should be the end for each of us as individuals. End of story. That's it. And I know a lot of you aren't even going to get the vaccine. By the way, I'm not even talking about that. I'm just saying, if you get the vaccine, there is no reasonable basis to demand that you mask up and social distance and all this other crap. It's just it's just creating a completely unreasonable Oh, it has to be one hundred percent perfect.

There's a radical possibility. I mean, where are we getting it now? One in ten thousand, one in thirty thousand, do you want to walk around with a mask on for the next two, three, four years because there's a one in thirty thousand chance that you might get coronavirus and might pass something. The disease has over a ninety

nine percent survival rate. And yet even if you're vaccinated, and even if you can't so you're ninety seven or ninety five percent protected against it personally, and anyone else that's around you they're vaccines, they're ninety five percent protected against it. And even if Heaven forbid you somehow are in that five percent that still gets ill. Even though you've been vaccinated, you're ninety nine percent likely to survive it, but you're not allowed to live your life. Mask up,

shut up, social distance. This is now what's this is science? They tell you. This is what is reasonable and the way that we should all live our lives. This is crazy. You know it, I know it. This is crazy. It shouldn't be this way, but this is what we've been there. The fear mongering and the panic porn has been so widespread that anybody that wants to have a reasonable discussion about this is shouted down as if as if there's some kind of a monster, as if there's some kind

of monster. I'm sorry, that's just it's outrageous. And I wonder what it's gonna take. I mean, how much more of this? You know we're gonna have now the daily briefings from the White House with you know, Fauci's gonna get out. We're still bad numbers, numbers will get better. Gotta wash, gotta social distance, gotta have more washing and social distancing. You know, we still know that this is what he's gonna say. You know, it could be worse before it gets better, could get a little better before

it gets much worse. There's all this guy, this guy, there's nothing of any value, you know. I think we need to have the lockdowns and the mitigation continue. I mean, and but the Libs love this, just like with climate change, this has just become an area where they what they're really addicted to is the belief that they're smarter than the people that don't agree with them. That's the that's the real driving factor for a lot of this. Now. Oh I'm I'm a masker and a lockdowner because I'm

so smart, because I listened to the science. That's what they are telling us. I'm a lockdowner because I listened to science or you know, I mean, it's just it's just madness. I mean, you know, you gotta tell yourself. After a while, you realize this, this is absurd. This is absurd. But this is where we are. And until we tell them enough is enough, until we tell them that we are going to take back our liberty, that

this is no longer. The state cannot just control and micromanage every aspect of your life because of a infinitesimal chance of an aerosolized virus being passed after vaccination.

We have a wonderful production department and they did it. That's a hey, I feel like it's it's kind of like a little bit of a little bit of a congo line vibe, you know. Yeah, I don't mind. It'll grow on us, right, alright, alright, I guess I guess I'll work with it. So we got roll call. Remember to go to Buck Sexton dot com check in please.

So thank you again for all your support what we do here Bucksxton dot com for editorial stories, etc. Janet kicking us off here, Hello Buck,

thank you for all you do. Your podcast is very informative. I'm curious what you think about term limits. My idea would be that senators would serve two terms, the House representatives members would be would serve six terms, the president would serve one six year term no reelection. I think this would eliminate so much animosity between career politicians which we currently have, and the president could concentrate on his or her agenda without having to worry about a mounting

reelection campaign after only two years in office. I doubt that it would ever happen, but I feel the time has come. Thank you, and also thank you to producer Mark. You guys make a great team. Well, thank you Janet for the very kind note. Yeah, I love I love the idea of term limits. I think it's great. I just think the problem is that the people that would have to go ahead with term limits, that would have to make it a reality, have no interest or incentive

to do so. So that's I think what you really can't get past here, right that there are people there are there are people that will talk even about term limits, and they're career politicians, and they don't want to give up that whole career politician thing. They're they're liking it. They're like, I think I'm gonna ride this out, you know, I'll spend Look at Joe Biden. The guy's been in elected office longer than I have been alive, or maybe within a couple of years of that. So yeah, it's

a great idea, Janet. I just I can't mislead you and tell you that I think it's likely it's likely to happen, so, but it is a great idea, and I think that would would help in a lot of ways. Conservatives off and talk about term limits, especially after we lose an election, But this time around, I think we're just going to have to accept that the term limits aren't changing anytime soon. Maureen hey buck and producing our

quick question. With all the stripping down of our Second Amendment rights by big tech, I keep hearing, well it's allowed as free speech doesn't apply to private companies. Well, Amazon, Apple, Google, Facebook, Microsoft, and Twitter are all publicly traded on Wall Street. Aren't publicly traded companies no longer considered private once you can buy their stocks. And if they're publicly traded, then why

aren't they allowing free speech? This is one big pile of excuses being made in order to allow Soviet style censorship so as to annihilate the right. So, Maureen, yes on the Soviet style censorship on your question about public

versus private. So there's private companies that are that are held by individuals, usually in a partnership or you know, an LLC, and then there's public companies that have stock that is traded on the markets that doesn't That designation doesn't change the kind of private actions they can do as non government actors, if that makes sense. So, you know, the the CEO of a company still gets to make decisions without government interference in some in some area, not

in all areas. There's still regulations and laws, but it's not a public that. There's public private sector and then there's public private companies, and they're they're not the same thing. Public private sector is, uh, you know, independent businesses operating or independent of the government versus um public sector which is paid for with your tax dollars, government employees, government agencies, those kinds of things. Public private company has to do

with whether individuals can buy or sell. If there's been an IPO and individuals can buy and sell the stock on the open markets, that's a publicly traded company versus a privately held company. So I think there's some definitional distinctions we need to put in place there. But yeah, so what you are going to though, what you're opening the door for here is the discussion that I think does need to happen about what are the limits of public I'm sorry, what are the limits of publicly traded

private companies? When it comes to discrimination, right, any company, any private company, whether it's you know, a small business or it's Amazon, can't say we are only gonna hire people who are you know, we are only hiring people who are from I don't know, American Samoa like. They couldn't do They can't discriminate on the basis of race or gender or right. They can't do that openly, even

though they're private. They're a private company. But the issue here becomes, well, then why should they If they can't discriminate on the following characteristics, why should they be able to discriminate on the basis of political afiliation or political speech? And this is where we get into will we find a way to regulate them or not? That's really the heart of the issue. Michael writes, what a scary thought

if Romney would have won. My guess is that under the spirit or guise of bipartisanship and fairness, he would have given it to Hillary. Who have been in like would have been in like Flynn. Unless your name starts with Michael, neither Romney. I see what you did there, Michael, neither Romney or this nation would have hit us. And at least Trump was both the break and a wake

up call for this nation. Yeah, Michael, I mean if you don't think Romney, you know, this is a historical what if if if you don't think that Romney would have been really strong and better as I mean, I think a lot of people would agree with you, So who knows. I mean, it would have ended for it. Remember not only would it maybe have led to a Hillary presidency, it would have ended four years of extra Obamaism, So you have to take that into account as well. Spencer, Hey, Fellas,

great show. As always appreciate you both tremendously. I was reading an article on the Federalist Do you think there's any credence to the statement of the Federalists like where our friend Shawn Davis is from. Do you think there's any credence to the statement the riot was somewhat instigated by certain leftists on site at that time, help start and fuel the fire to encourage people to start rioting.

Just wondering what your opinion was. Ps. I got Ghost of Sushima and love it and we should play online sometime. Wish you guys the best and very grateful for this show in these crazy times. Spencer, We're very grateful for you. Thank you so much. Ghost of Sushima is one of the best video games I've ever played in my entire life. I'll just say it. I think it's top five. I wasn't expecting it to be that good. It's incredible, it's addictive, it's so good. And yes, Spencer, send me your user

name or something. And maybe I also want to do some Team Buck Call of Duty because I'm getting pretty decent at Call of Duty. Some of you have reached out to me. It's say, can we play Call of Duty? And I said, yeah, let's do it. Gotta, I gotta, I canna remember my call of duty name is or whatever. I don't remember what it is, but send me your call of duty names too, and we can we can maybe get like a Team Buck Call of Duty thing.

Producer Mark, do you ever play I have? I don't often tell me you're gonna be You're telling me you're gonna be a nube. You're gonna be a bot. Yea not allow everyone will kill me. But Producer Mark, that would be so that would be so fun for me here to be able to be at a position to finally get you back for calling me out for being late every morning. You would probably just follow me around

the battlefield and just keep shooting me. Now this is sounding better and better all the time, by the way, I really enjoy this. But yeah, anyway, I's Ghost of Sushim is amazing. Call of Duty is amazing. Highly highly recommend um. And as for sorry, ask for your serious question Spencer about the instigation, I think it. I think there were some instigators, some agents provocateur if you will, but it was mostly people on the right quan on

people that were there overwhelmingly ninety nine five percent. Whatever it might be. There were some people that I think were leftists who knew that they could do this and make it worse. There's been some evidence of that, but it's still you know, it was it was making a bad situation worse. It wasn't creating the bad situation, if that makes sense. You're listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Make sure you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeartRadio

app or wherever you get your podcasts. More roll call here Kyle up Buck in regards to your commentary on Katie Kirk my own opinion of hers at the high Water Barker for contribution to journalism was when she had I can't read that, Kyle. On another note, I've been driving across the country after finally getting out of coastal California. I've been amazed at how people outside of that bubble are living their lives in spite of COVID instead of

living their lives in fear because of COVID. It's one of those things I didn't realize I was missing, but just being able to see people smile without a face diaper hiding, it was something made me feel slightly more connected to my fellow man instead of treating everyone else like another vector for disease. You and producer Mark need to get the hell out of New York. The grass is greener on the other side, Kyle, from your lips to God's ears. Man, I you know we're we're working

on it. We're working on it. Mark. Mark likes the warm weather, he likes the zero state income tax, and so does Buck. So you know, I think I think we're I think we're Florida bound within the next I'd say the next eighteen months would be my honest Um, well Mark can probably go whenever, but well Mark and I have to talk more about that. I got a few things keeping me here for the time being, but yeah,

I think I've had enough. It's just, you know, I live in a building full of insane Matto watching libs and they're all like double masking now and they look at you like you're a psycho killer if you pull your mask down to you know, have a sip of water. And it's just I'm tired of it. I'm just tired. These people are out of their minds. They're not as smart as they think they are. They're all just box checking, credential hunting, you know, status status obsessed leftist, and I'm

just it's enough. I've had enough. So yeah, man, I'm with you Kyle on that one. JT. Buck. Why are FBI agents and others on the left able to set aside their personal political viewpoints when doing their jobs? And it is insulting to suggest their political views might cause bias in their jobs, but conservative or right leaning national guardsman and police need special scrutiny. JT. That is a very good question, one for which there is no solid answer, because,

as you know, that's why you're asking it. It's a double standard. It's what the left does. It's about power it's about control. And yes, they do not apply consistently the standard of you cannot have political views or else right. They do not do that. It's always if you're a conservative, you're a threat, you're a concern. If you're liberal, you obviously can be nonpartisan in the performance of your duties. Daniel wrights Buck, I love the show, Daniel Show loves You.

I work in the Bay Area. It amazes me that the woke left wants to emulate California policies for the rest of the country. On the ground, in today's world, everyone is bailing with remote work on the lockdowns, Texas, Aisy and other errors are being flooded with the liberal locusts from California. Unless you have some generational money or a top one percent earner, Far too many people are bailing.

Whatever happened to leading by example? California is a sinking ship. Yeah, no, I mean that California is now the elites and the dependent class. That's what California is turning into. People that either work for or rely on the state for their existence, or people that are so rich that they don't care what the state. Well, I shouldn't say they don't care because They always try to get good accounts and attorneys

for their taxes and everything else. But they don't care how high the tax rate is because it doesn't really make any difference in their lifestyle because they're probably living off of off of assets and off of what do you call it interest instead of actual wages. So for them, it's all fine. They don't really care. Yeah, I know that's where it is. So I gotta tell you, though, I'm a little little troubled to see that Georgia in

Creasy is looking like Georgia is a blue state. Now, folks, That's what it feels like from what I'm seeing the data I'm seeing. How the heck that happened? Mark writes Buck, I'm listening to Trump's Farewell Addressed, and he's listening all of his accomplishments, which are really accomplishments from the American people. So as I'm listening, I can't help but think, how did this guy not get reelected? So? During roll call, would you please, in a nutshell describe what happened in

the election. How did America choose Biden over Trump? With all legitimate concerns over election integrity. Why didn't the various government bodies take up the issue. It seemed like the FBI, the DJ even the Supreme Court didn't want to look into any of this. Why not? Isn't that their job? Don't they all take on earth to serve the American

people and uphold the US Constitution. I can't help but think that if there was widespread fraud in the twenty twenty election, those guilty of it are allowed to get away with it. What's to stop them from doing it every election? Our fear we've now become a one party nation. So please break down how we arrive where we are?

Thanks shieldside, Mark, I want I want to tell you this is an excellent question, with a lot of thoughtfulness and insight, But I would have to answer it by saying, it's kind of what my show has been for the last My answer is my show for the last well forever, but certainly for the last six months. How did we get here? What have the Democrats done? How have lockdown and Lockdown's gone? What's the narrative around that the Libs convince through the media enough Americans about Donald Trump to

try to win this election. How they suppress information? I mean, you know, that's a lot, friend, so I can't really give you a snappy answer this other than I hope this is what you're getting from listening to the show, because that's really what we're doing here, that's what we're all about. So thank you for right again. I do very much appreciate it, and yep, we'll leave it there. Richard Buck, this talk about me wearing a mask after I get vaccinated is nuts. After I get my second shot,

I'm burning my masks. I will laminate my proof of vaccination. I will live my life King Cooper here in North Carolina, and this senile in chief can take a hike. You recently got the whooping cough vaccine and you don't even have to wear a protective gear to protect your niece or nephew. Why is COVID any different shields? High, Richard, excellent point. COVID vaccine is not I mean, I'm sorry, the whooping cough vaccine is not one hundred percent effective.

Am I endangering my adorable little nephew by going near even after getting the vaccine? Well, no, because the chance of me getting whooping cough is actually pretty low. The chance of me getting whooping cough, I mean, I mean being exposed to it is low. In the first place, the chance me getting whooping cough and it getting past the vaccine that I've gotten is very low. And then the chance that I'd have a a virus in my system at the time I happen to see my nephew,

you know, it's also very low. You know. But nothing's perfect. I mean, I could walk into an apartment and the roof could cave in and that's the end of the Buckster. But you know, you don't see me running and hiding in closets all the time. I'm just saying, yeah, Richard, though, but they really want this, they really This is just showing you how brainwashed they are, how the left has

made this so much about virtue signaling. It's it's just appalling, it really is, Ashley writes, buck you're talking about New York schools being sixty percent open. I live in Salem, Oregon. Salem and Portland public schools are not open. They have no plans on opening due to conflicts with the unions. Zero percent open. It's insanity. Ashley totally agree with you. I mean, I'm sorry to hear that there's no justification

for this. They're just sacrifice kids. It's greedy, lazy adults in the teachers union who are are using this for their own leverage. The kids are suffering, the parents are suffering of those kids. It's awful. So you know, thank you teachers unions. All right, that's gonna be it for today. Everybody, Thank you so much. Back tomorrow. Sh'lt High
