The Mob Turns On Portland's Mayor

the buck Sexton Show. I want to jump right to it. Are you feeling that right now? There's so much happening. It's a presidential campaign, it's an election season that no one's really talking about the political candidates very much, or their platforms everything else. No, we're just in the midst of a fight for the future of America on the streets and across the country. That's what's happening right now. And Democrats have got a problem. They are now the

riot party. They're firmly entrenched on the side of writers across America, and the media is working overtime, bending over backwards, doing everything they can to make it either seem like these protests are mostly peaceful when we know they're not,

or they just don't cover this. We are now at almost two months of nightly mayhem in Portland, Oregon, almost two months every night, and the only thing you're hearing from the mainstream media from CNN and ABC and New York Times and all the rust about what's going on in Portland this hole scary. It is that Trump has sent federal law enforcement officers to assist because of the

lawlessness on the streets of Portland. I'm I'm looking at this and saying, it's amazing that any honest person, any intelligent human being, could have a problem with what Trump is doing right now when you understand how federal law enforcement actually works where it is, how it works hand in glove with local law enforcement all across the country all the time. But no, the focus is on Trump

sending in the STASI. These are probably the people that will help him not leave the Oval office if he wins again or if he doesn't lose, rather whatever, either way, they're going to help him not leave the Oval office. Mayor Ted Wheeler, I want to give him credit. Mayor Ted Wheeler, along with Mayor Lightfoot of Chicago Mayor Deblasio

of New York, Mayor Durkin of Seattle. These world class morons serve an important purpose because they tell other world class morons all over all over the planet, Hey, you too could be the mayor of a major US city, because you could be a total idiot. Look at this. What a disaster. What a disaster. So Ted Wheeler last night and I was watching these clips as they were popping up on social media. Ted Wheeler decided to go down because you know, he's like, yeah, I'm gonna I'm

a person of the people. I'm gonna go down. I'm gonna talk to them. I tell you him, with the man, we're gonna dismantle systemic racism together. Yeah. Sure, sure you are, buddy, Sure you are. The Portland mayor went down, mask of course, masked up. He went down, And one thing we know for sure, a cotton or fabric mask does not help you with tear gas. Really, So there's that. Uh. He went down to hang out and talk to the mob, the Antifa Democrat base. Remember these are Democrats. I'm gonna

keep saying it. They're all going to vote for Biden, if they vote at all. They all support Democrat policies. They adhere to the beliefs of mainstream left wing American ideology. Right, that's where they are. And Ted Wheeler goes down there to have a conversation with of it. Here's some of how here's some of how it goes. Play a play clib nine things. It's hard to breathe, and UM, I can tell you I'm honesty. I sign nothing if Nassal starting, I'm not afraid that I am pissed off of dismality.

This this, this is a a greedous over reaction on the part of the federal officers book. There is nothing that I find with the warranted reaction UM and all its students, if you can see, so has the stops that they quire minitance, they hired to all times, kissed everybody, offers and wars, made people angry. They come in and they clickto Harding's test. So this is not the the

escalations forratitude. This is flat out urban worker urban warfare, he says, from not the lunatics with weapons and moving in paramilitary formation on the street to break laws in his city. He's the mayor. He's supposed to keep law in order in that city. Remember, the police force is under the supervision, under the direction of the mayor's office, so there's lawlessness in his city. And Ted Wheeler of Portland wants you to know that the overreaction of the

federal government's the real problem here. Yeah, oh yeah, what a stunningly, grotesquely stupid, weasily dishonest moron. Why is he down there at all? Now? I wish I could play for you, but we really can't because there's so much There's all this video online of him down there in the heart of these protests, and he's really want and they're not a protest, they're riots. I'm sorry, we got to use the problem. These are Democrats who are rioting.

They're not protesters who want a conversation. That's media spin. That's a lie. These are rioting democrats. It's not a mostly peaceful protest. It is explicitly, openly intended to cause fear and destruction and use the threat of force to get their way, like domestic terrorists. But I couldn't play for you, although it would be really fun. All of the all of the video, all the audio that's out there where Mayor Ted Wheeler shows up to his constituents right.

These are all people who I'm sure voted for Ted Wheeler or would again if they do vote. And do you know what they were yelling? Blank you Ted Wheeler, shut the blank up. I mean, there's so much just scorn and humiliation. This guy's pummeled with it. And he's on their side, right, and you get his hear of his head. I'm on your side. Why don't you like

me more? I'm on your side. But he can't really say that, although he says he's with them in solidarity on the issue of dismantling structural racism and all this stuff. Of course. I mean the mayor is such a buffoon. He's saying that he didn't he didn't. I didn't see anything that justifies this. They lit a federal courthouse on fire last night. BET's arson. People should go to prison for a very long time for that. The BLM protesters in Minnesota did this couple months ago and killed somebody.

Arson is a serious crime. Destruction of property is a crime. I know Democrats like the bead Oh, it's just stuff, It's just stuff. No, No, the government has an obligation to protect safety and to protect property or else we should all take it into our own hands to do both. And we know the Libs don't want that. Heaven forbid the law abiding, the rational, the reasonable take up arms in their own defense. Well, we know what happens, what happened in Saint Louis. Then the prosecutors all of a

sudden will bear their teeth. Then the prosecutors will come after you. They will try to make an example of you. This is true Democrat prosecutors across the country. Now, if you stand up against the mob, you're the problem. But I have to tell you it was just so amazing, really to watch the mayor of a pretty good sized city marching and walking alongside and pandering to the left. And they hate him. That's what he doesn't understand that you can bow to this mob. You could. It exists

as a mob. There are no concessions you can make. There's nothing you can do to make them like you. They want him to resign. That's what they were calling for as well when they weren't cursing at him. They want him to resign. Are they going to get a more far left better mayor than this guy? You know, as I leftist, I'm saying, are they gonna get somebody who's even more progressive and insane. No, I don't think so.

I don't. I don't even know how that's possible. And this guy seems like he's to the left of AOC, if there's any space to the left, I don't know. They hate him though, They ridicule him, they mock him. They think he's a joke too, because he at least has to put on the appearance of being a politician who has some grounding in reality. But this is this is what I really want you to take from this. The Democrats are in a spasm of rage and craziness

right now, the whole Democrat Party. They've got a pathetic candidate in Joe Biden. They know this, We all see it. Empathetic, not inspiring, not not skillful, not particularly intelligent, too old, boring, credibly accused of sexual assault too. We never talk about that anymore. Isn't that interesting? That's just that's never even brought up, is it. We have that guy on the Democrat side, and as long as that's who they put forward. I don't think that serious people have to treat the

opinions of outraged Democrats seriously. This is absurd. But there is I think a growing recognition among the Democrat Party that now they've they've made there, They've made their bed. Now they have to sleep in it. They've made the decision here. They are the party of riots, they are the riot party. They have to back these up. They

have to find justifications for this. They have to make sure that all of their politicians take the softest possible touch in keeping these riots from completely spilling out of control and causing even more widespread destruction and possibly even a body count at some point. That's real, that's the

real concern that we're all worried about. But they've created a monster here, you see, and they're they're in the early stages of seeing it's not clear that in a general election year they're really going to be able to control this. They thought it was great BLM protests for George Floyd. Yeah, they thought it was great. Get everyone out in the streets. I forget about the pandemic. Everybody

out of the streets, go for it. We got our people, We got our Democrats out there marching and making demands, and corporate America running scared and all this stuff. All this stuff. Now, what do they do Now? They are expecting. These mobs are expecting to get their way, and they're not going away. And the lockdowns feed into this too, because there's not enough normal life to drown out these lunatics and to give them something else to do. They

have nothing else to do. They're not going away. The Democrat Party has to own this now. Chicago is a war zone, Portland is a riot zone. New York is falling apart. These are major nodes of Democrat power. These are large American cities, New York the largest, Chicago the third largest. And what are Democrats offering up to people.

The only way that you could see this working out in their favor is in some ways the most breathtakingly cynical and disturbing one, and that is that the implied promise of the Democrat Party going into this election is vote for our guy, or the riots never stop. Vote for our guy, or we extend the lockdown so far you won't even remember normal life is like. Their plan is not to appeal to the American voter in the middle right. Forget about the crazy left and the Democrat base.

Their plan is not to appeal to the voter in the middle. It's to terrify them. And the only way this stops is if you vote for Biden. That is their pitch. They are holding the American, the American people hostage. That's what you see in Portland. That's why the mayor goes down there. He knows the game, and they're practically spitting at the guy, curse at him and telling him to resign. Democrats better be careful how this goes for them. It all seemed great for them a month ago, six

weeks ago. Not so much anymore. You're in the Freedom d This is the Buck Sex and Show podcast. Under Operation Legend. We will also soon send federal law enforcement to other cities that need help. Other cities need help, they needed badly. They should call, they should want it. They're too proud or they're too political to do that. One of them is Albuquerque, in New Mexico, where Less for All, fifty five year old Jackie Vee Hill was murdered as she was getting into her car to go

to the gym. We're joined today by her husband Sam and her sons Raoul and Kevin, both New Mexico State Police officers. Operation Legend named for a young boy killed sleeping in his bed in Missouri. It has already been underway, this operation in Missouri for some weeks, but now Trump is expanding it, using federal law enforcement agencies to assist cities in areas where there is lawlessness and a spike

in violent crime. How could any person, any person in authority, any person in the media, anyone paying attention, think that this is anything other than a good thing, right? Don't you want federal law enforcement to assist. Wouldn't you want there to be highly trained, reliable, well equipped federal officers acting completely within the law. All the stuff you're you're hearing from the lives is whining crap. Any Where the patches do we worked them to you he they're using

an unmarked vehicle and federal law enforcement officers. You know, they were all in favor of the unobstructed power of the surveillance state when it came to Komey and the deep state hacks trying to help Hillary. But now when it comes to stopping either riots or stopping just unthinkable violent crime in Chicago, they're complaining about this. They're whining. There's no way that you could say that anyone is objecting to this in good faith. It's not possible to

object in good faith. People are just looking for objections because Trump is doing it, and because think about what happens if these cities calm down after the deployment of federal police resources. What does it look like if in Chicago next month shootings are down twenty percent, thirty percent? Wow? It It would make people think, not only has Trump made a good decision, but what should we think of the decision that the Democrats have been pushing for for

the last three months. Defund the cops. Blame the cops, they're racist, They're part of white sup premissy and a racist system. The stupidity of those statements, the stupidity of those claims is mind blowing, and it's worse than just being stupid. It's also a policy blunder. People are suffering because Democrats like to say things that make them and their political ideology feel righteous. And they're self righteous. They're sanctimonious.

That is who they are. This was really all about their political mobilization and just a an orgy of virtue signaling from Democrats. Oh, we're just we care so much, yeah out on the streets, defund police, yeah, blm man. Yeah, Because people are pathetic. They're pathetic. They're not helping anyone. They're making everything worse. They don't have the ability to think critically about what's going on in these cities. They

know nothing about law enforcement. They know nothing about the history of these cities and what has worked and what don't. But we suffer because of their stupidity and because of a just shockingly cowardly mainstream media. These people are so lucky to have the jobs that they do. They're overwhelmingly on the ones on TV in particular, are overpaid, entirely replaceable, unimpressive, narcissistic clowns, and they're hurting this country. They're actually hurting

America by saying defaunt cops. Thanks for listening to the Buss and Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. That is why we are here today to answer the please of those crying for justice and crying for help for those people in Chicago and other cities where will be. Help is on its way. Help is on the way. It is indeed, except the Democrats don't want help. Why is that? Are they? They should be asked this question.

You will recall that the Democrats went through a period where they were saying, before defund the police became the rallying cry, it was abolish ice, Abolish ice, abolish ice. That's what they were saying. That's what we were being told. And then when enough Democrat politicians, one enough Democrat politicians had to be asked the question, so you want to abolish ice so we shouldn't have any enforcement of immigration law, that that should not exist anymore, because I remember it

was abolish ice. It wasn't cut ice, is funding ten percent? Abolish ice? Okay, what are you going to replace it with? And the Sandernistas would go on TV. Bernie Sanders and his and his crew would go on TV and they would say, you know, they'd mumble something about a you know, kids and cages. Oh my gosh, you know, they'd say the stuff that they were the talking points. And then and then they would end up having to say, well, we're gonna like fold that responsibility into another federal agency

or create a new create a new one. Oh, so you're gonna abolish ice to create you know, immigrations and customs enforce it? Right, abolished ice so you can create a new ICE that does the same thing that the old ICE did, because that is necessary. You utter buffoons. So they had to back away from that. They lost on that one. You don't hear them talking about abolish ICE anymore. Do That was two years ago, the summer of what was a twenty eighteen. Oh, that was a

big one. Remember AOC went down there. Oh, border patrol was threatening me and all that stuff that was going on. Really, you're gonna you're gonna go after federal law enforcement like that. You're gonna claim that you were being threatened. I mean, the stuff that was happening from from the Democrats was just it was de scrayful. But you know that was their identity, politics, open borders all coming together. What's their position now going to be? Okay, so we've had all

this conversation, how about police? Trump signed and it was a mistake, But hey, the Trumps, the Trumpster's back, baby, He's do what he needs to do. He signed any executive order on law enforcement reform to do transparency. Do you even hear about transparency anymore? And all this stuff? Now, what about statues? I thought we were supposed to be also worried about the statues that were a form of inanimate tyranny all across the country. Right. Oh no, we're

not talking about that anymore. It's just every week it changes whatever the lives can get angry about. All change this team, this sports team's name. Oh, fire some people from the New York Times because they don't agree one hundred percent with the craziest left wing ideology, all this stuff that you see. What exactly is their argument against federal law enforcement officers in US cities enforcing the law

That they're not telling you that they're not enforcing the law. Right, they're trying to say that they don't like their tactics, or oh, Ted Wheeler, they're kicking the hornets. Nest's what's the real answer. They need to be pushed. If we had a serious media, every Democrat, including Joe hiding down in the basement, every Democrat would have to answer the question, why do you think that you don't need federal law

enforcement assistance for your city? You already have federal law enforcement operating in your city all the time and have for as long as you've been the mayor or you know, the governor of your state, whatever it may be. So what's the what is the real explanation here. Well, it turns out Mayor Lightfoot in Chicago has now agreed as of today to work with an additional federal deployment of troops. I'm sorry, pardon me, of law enforcement. I know it's

that's gonna happen sometimes because it's weird. We don't think of law enforcement as being deployed in that way because law enforcements all over the country already. So Chicago is going to have, Chicago is going to have additional federal assistance, and let's hope that they are able to bring down the violent crimes. I mean, this is exactly what you need. You need US marshals going after the worst gang bangers.

You need d EA going after the cartel connections to these gangs, and you know, going after MS their team, going after the Bloods and the Crips and you know, Latin Kings and all these different national gang affiliations. Those law enforcement agencies do that all the time. You want to stop violent crime, stop the violent criminals. We know this, This has been established for a long time. Democrats, though, they're on the wrong side of this issue, and now

they're scrambling. They're scrambling, and Trump has finally been able to and I've been saying, where's the CounterPunch where Trump is finally now on political offense and its political offense, where he's right, he's helping America. He is going to help save lives, save neighborhoods, save minority lives predominantly. And all of this is showing what the Democrat Party is really about, the relentless and ruthless pursuit of power at the expense of the very people they claim to care

so much about. That's why you have these these complete morons like Deblasio. De Blasio is the worst mayor in America, but seems to think that he's not under the jurisdiction of America. These mayors are like, oh, well, we're going to stop them. They can't know the mayor has mayor has no no ability whatsoever in the law to tell the FBI that they can enforce laws in New York City.

M not how our system works. In fact, if you look back at our history, really look at our history and why we have the system we do of federalism, of states in the federal government working together putting down insurrections and restoring law and order and preventing states from violating federal law as a function of policy. Go back to Eisenhower, go back to integrating the schools against the wishes of Democrats. By the way, you look at what has happened in the past, and you understand that of

course presidents do this. These federal law enforcement agencies exist to enforce the laws in states that They're not just buildings in DC that have no mission, that have no mandate. They have personnel all over the country. Some might argue they have too many personnel and too many AIDS sees. There are dozens of federal law enforcing agents. I can't name them all. I can't even begin to dozens of federal law enforcement agencies. So there's a lot happening right now.

This has been the first week I can think of in really, certainly since the you know, certainly since the pandemic, felt like it was breaking a bit where Trump has been able to be on political offense and also doing just the right thing for the country. This isn't just

about messaging. It's about protecting people. Play clip three. Today, I'm announcing a surge of federal law enforcement into American communities plagued by violent crime, who will work every single day to restore public safety, protect our nation's children, and bring violent perpetrators to justice. We've been doing it, and you've been seeing what's happening all around the country. We've just started this process, and frankly, we have no choice

but to get involved. What would be the alternative, what would be the other way to go? Allow these cities to continue with this mayhem. Look at Democrats. I understand they're not in an enviable position right now. It was it was all great when they could There was one incident of heinous police brutality that we all saw, we all condemned, but Democrats didn't care that we all saw and condemned, saw it, condemned it, and that there was going to be probably a life sentence handed to this.

We'll see it handed to the hand of the officer involved. No, then it then it turned into this this huge, this movement and protests and protests around the world, the uprising of the left, that's what it was. That was the inciting, inciting issue used for a broad uprising of the left and the international left too. I mean, now now we're

getting some real Marxist kind of stuff. But what have been the results of this, as I've been saying now for weeks, and I'm glad that others have been following me into the breach on this when Black Lives Matter has made everything worse for everyone so far, except for some of the organizers who are getting lining their pockets and some of the people in the media who use this to grow their following and improve their reach and

so on and so forth. This is disgraceful what they've done, what they've done to the country, and I'm happy to see that if you're paying attention, it could not be more clear that the Democrats are the party of riots, and that they have put themselves on that side. They think that rioting and destroying property and attacking police is a legitimate form of political expression. They do not condemn it.

Find me condemnations, real condemnations, not you know, yeah, we need laws to be enforced, but no, I mean, hey, knock off all this crap in Portland, in Seattle, Hey, let's band together and go after the people who are shooting toddlers in Chicago. How could we not be entirely united on this. Democrats have other political goals, and they think that the problem is a lack of social services, or something that will stop people from shooting up a

funeral and hitting fifteen individuals. That will stop it, if only we had less billionaires running around controlling things, or if we had just think of all the left wing talking points you can think of, if our police departments weren't all some way systemically racist, Just think about it. That's what they offer up to you. It's not going to solve anything. In fact, they intentionally do flecked responsibility away from where the real problems are and think that

think that we should be listening to them. They won't even deal with the root causes, the root problems of issues of crime and lawlessness. I mean, don't even get me started on how many of these antifa idiots we see that that went to You know that I'm sure studied in incredibly liberal universities and spend tens of thousands of dollars to learn nothing, just to be indoctrinated into

being fools, utter fools. We got. We had a lot of problems, we had a lot of things to clean up, but sending in federal law enforcement, that's a cleanup that needs to happen. Right now. You're in the freedom hud this is the Buck Sex and Show podcast. All right, So what are the libs saying about all this? I've told you they're they're in a tough spot right now. They got really they were really having a field day, having a great time, pretend to care so much about racism. Yes,

we're dismantling structural racism. Let's have a lot of white protesters scream in the face of black cops and call them horrible names. That's what democrats are all about. Okay, what are the Democrats actually saying? You got Chicago mayor Lightfoot. Remember she was the one who, quite famously during the pandemic lockdown, was like, no one's allowed to get haircuts. And then someone said, hold on a second, you just got a haircut. She goes, yeah, but I'm public facing.

Oh okay, in that case, I guess it's not hypocritical. Here is what Lightfoot is is claiming, or she was as of this morning. I think it's had to change because now she's working with Trump or accepting federal law enforcement. It's not like she has a choice. Gonna just put that out there at play seven, and I'm calling on all chicagoans. Then if you see something that doesn't look right. Please don't hesitate to report it. Call nine one one

three one one. We are going to remain diligent and if we see any steps out of line, particularly with DHS or border patrol, we're not going to hesitate to take the president to court and stop any unconstitutional actions. We're going to take them to court. Yeah. Yeah, let's take the FBI and the d EA and US marshals to court and DHS. Yeah what what? What? How is this sensible at all? In what world? Why is she assuming that federal law enforcement is going to be violating

the constitution. They're operating in her city every day. Does she's Chicago Police Department. I can assure you could use US marshals taking some of the high risk warrants off their hands, for example, and saying, hey, no, we'll go get we'll go get that that gang leader. We'll take that one for you, guys. Don't worry about it. We got that in a normal world in this country usually and I've seen this, right, I've been a part of terrorism investigations where we had CVP, DHS, FBI, US marshals,

you name it. They'll bring in fish and wildlife if they need to for some reason, right, But whatever it is, and we all work together. Yeah, there's little turf battles in this nonsense. At the end of the day, we want to get the bad guys, want to keep people safe. She's acting like federal These are law enforcement officers, just like her own cops in Chicago, and she's acting like they're an invading army or something. Oh, if you see anything bad from them, okay, sure we'll wait on that one.

Good luck. It's amazing. You know, look at this. Whatever Trump is for there against this is it's more of the same. Whatever Trump wants to do, they oppose. Trump wants to use good cops who have federal training and resources to save lives. Nope, don't like that. Why Trump completely nuts, completely nuts. Let's have what do we have next year? Oh? Yes, de Blasio, he actually even blames his own cops in New York play eight. But let's face it, the entire society has been through just an

epic dislocation. People don't have work, people don't go to school, they don't have anything. And we're going to fix it. We're going to deal with it. Remember, alson, this is a city twenty five years ago going through hell with crime, and we've fought our way back and we'll fight our way through this. But we have to do it the way that works for New York City. It can't be about someone else sending in folks not train the right way to be here, who only, unfortunately would make things

worse and could lead to more violence. That's the great irony. You send in folks who are not meant for this work, and even worse things happen. What a complete and utter disgrace and just a moron. They're trained for this work. Honestly, it's gonna say it. I've worked at the federal level. I've worked at local level for the NYPD. They're generally better trained for the work. More federal, and that's not a knock on any local law enforce and but the

federal resources you all know, a lot more extensive. What is de Blasio even talking about and complete? It's just lies, folks, It's just lies. Not now, we're just in the sea of Democrat lies, trying to make our way through it. Thanks for listening to The bus Xton Show podcast. Remember to subscribe on Apple Podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. Oh you know who we haven't heard from yet, Harry Helloa, she's still out there, still lurking,

still waiting for that opportunity. I'm back. I know I'm gonna blast out your ears. I don't want you to fall in asleep while I listened to the Buck Sexton Show. She's back. Okay, So what's the latest from her. Oh, well, she's trying to tell everybody, Yeah, go for it, be vicious to the other side, act like lunatics. Forget forget about any deference or respect or decency toward cops. Just just go be the most outrageous left wing agitators you

can right now. Because Republicans are such a threat Blacklip five. You cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for, what you care about. That's why I believe if we are fortunate enough to win back the House and or the Senate, that's when civility can start again. But until then, the only thing that the Republicans seem to recognize and respect is strength.

So she's saying all basically all out political war. That's what she is calling for, and I think it's important to understand that's what we're in. That's the reality, all the situation, that the circumstances of this country right now. You know, this is Hillary There's gonna be present last time around. It's not like there are some Democrats who are really radical, but then there are the elder statesman Democrats who are saying, hold on, guys, we we got

to bring everyone together. There no, there's no effort at unity. It's scored stirth against Trump and all of his supporters got ESPN analysts Jamil Hill saying that there's no leeway. If you vote for Trump, you're a racist. There's no leeway, no gray area. And this is an idea that is held by many people in the media. I mean you should see I had eight Trump retweets in a row this morning. Eight Trump retweets, and the stuff that's being said to me in my timeline on Twitter from libs

of course. I mean, my conservatives are like, oh, nice tweets, Buck, and that's really nice that the president shares my thoughts with his eighty million followers. And you can check his Twitter. It was it was like eight in a row, I think was the number. I haven't seen the president take one person's Twitter account to do eight in a row in quite a while. So he likes he likes the

Busters Twitter game, which is appreciated. But it's a reminder whenever that happens, because then the blue check Libs just, oh they all. I'm always amazed to how many, how many Blue check libs are like, you're named after a porn star. Oh, you're named after a portn star. That's a really ooh sick burn. Oh man, now I'm now I'm gonna stop doing what I do for a living because you have made the dumbest joke that I've ever heard. That's been made by every half wit I've ever met.

So yeah, good job, A good job, Blue check libs. I love that one. It's it's a good it's good though. It's an intelligence test. People are because anyone ever told you you're a name like a porn star. That's brilliant. No, no one's ever told me that before. I don't know. I don't know why. You know, my parents had a kind of an interesting sense of humor. So speaking about Hillary for a second, I want to bring to your attention, well we could consider to be something of an update

on the Hillary Clinton email case. I know you're not seeing it talked about that way, but I'm going to tell you about it. I think it's very important because at a time when we're thinking so much as a country about law and order and what that means and why it's important that we're all held to the same standards. Here we see it took some time, but we see just iron cloud evidence of the double standard that exists for connected, politically important Democrats and leftists and everybody else,

that there is a two tiered system of justice. One for people who the system, the establishment, the democrat left likes, needs, wants to wants to support, and then a system for everybody else. And I'm not saying this is the only two tier justice system. I'm even very clear about that. You know, yes, if you are very rich and connected, regardless of political party, you're likely to do much better in the justice system than somebody who's not. That's true.

But we're talking about politicization of the justice department at the highest level. It could not be more clear that Democrats are allowed to play by a different just a different set of rules than the rest of us. That's where this is. That's the reality. And then that brings me to this story in ABC ABC News Raytheon employee sentenced for keeping classified documents at his home. Ahmed Sarah Geldin worked on a ballistic missile defense system. They say

that he's a Raytheon engineer who endangered national security. He was sentenced to one and a half years in prison on Wednesday. He worked on a radar defense system used to defend against ballistic missiles, and had pleaded guilty to keeping classified national defense documents about that system at his home without authorization. Sarah gel then apologized for his behavior. I was sloppy, but I've always been loyal to my job and to the country. He said this before his

sentence was handed down. He took over thirty one hundred digital documents, according to the assistant US attorney, adding that he took more than one hundred physical documents. More than five hundred of those documents were labeled classified and exposed to anyone who wanted to see them. Defendant deserves this serious sentence because he deliberately endangered national security at the very least by keeping national defense information where it was viewable.

They asked for five years initially in the sentence from five years in federal prison. He got a year and a half, they the defense attorneys asked for probation because of the following. He didn't transfer secret documents anywhere. He just brought them home. He did not He did not sell them to anyone. He did not give them to anyone. He did not transfer them to anyone. He is not a traitor or a spy. That's very important, all right, that's all from the article. Well I am I telling

you about this. This guy had possession, okay, on an unsecured computer of classified information. That's it. That is that is the crime. That is the full you know, documents and digital documents, right, but he had classified information in his possession. That's what he is going to prison for. And people, remember, they try to say a lot of stuff to try to men, you know, muddy up the waters. He no, no no, no, no, that's all. Did not commit espionage,

did not sell this stuff. There's no reason to believe anyone ever saw or got any of these documents or information. No intrusions detected, nothing. He just had it. He kept it in the wrong place, okay, kept at the wrong place. Who else did that? Did you want to take a guess who else had over a hundred instances of classified information, including Special Access program information highly highly classified on a private, unsecured server. Oh, that's right, Hillary Clinton did, didn't she.

We were told Hillary Clinton did not break the law by James Comey and by the Lauretta Lynch Democrat Justice Department. How can anyone see what's happened here and not understand that that was just that was a lie. And I've said this all along, you know, I've been consistent on this. Hillary Clinton broke the law. There's there's no debate over that she had classified on her private server, some of it marked, a lot of it she would have known

was classified. As the sitting Secretary of State, she had an even greater responsibility. This guy's a Raytheon contractor. It's a contractor for the government, low level guy. She was the Secretary of State. And flagrantly and knowingly that was the biggest, the biggest lie of all was let's just pretend like Hillary Clinton has an IQ of fifteen and then she'll get you get away with this. That was what they did. Didn't know what see meant in the

classification markings and the portion markings of a document. No, that means, that means that it's classified. That means confidential. Anybody who's ever worked with classified knows this. She lied what like what what a cloth square? You mean? Wipe it with a cloth. They lied to you about the law. The Obama Justice Department lied to you about the law. James Comey took the fall, not that it was a fall. It was really actually just adding zeros to his book.

He's running another book. This guy. This guy's frightening and he's a real sociopath. But they made the whole thing go away. It was illegal. What she did was a crime. And now I'm not I'm never I was always honest with you. There are people all she should go in to prison for twenty years for treason. No, no, no, that's not she should have had to take In a realistic world, she should have had to take a guilty plea,

a misdemeanor, most likely plead down. I know you don't want to hear that, but this is what would have happened. Probably a misdemeanor guilty plea for mishandling classified, get six months probation, and have her clearance pulled forever. Now you might say, Buck, that's not that severe. I know, but do you think that the would be president of the United States, the Democrat candidate pleading guilty to a crime of mishandling classified information right before the election happens. Do

you think that might have hurt her chances a little bit? It? Yeah? Yeah, convicted criminal Hillary Clinton. Not not for like a tax fraud thing either, right, convicted criminal for mishandling classified even if it was very minor, that would have been That would have been it. They knew that she was gonna there's no way she's gonna win the election of that happens, right, So what they do? They line to you, this guy, this, this guy, Look, what he did is stupid and he

shouldn't have done it. I'm not defending it. I'm just pointing out the obvious double standard. He takes classified home, he goes to prison. Hillary is trafficking classified on an open server on a regular basis, over a hundred, over one hundred counts. That is the fact of the case. Not even not even charges brought, not even an attempt

to punish. Does anyone really think that they could win an argument with an intelligent person about whether there's a two tiered justice system for Democrats who are important to the Democrat Party. Why do you think the left still lionizes James Comey an abject fraud And it's terrifying that that guy was as senior as he was in the United States government. But the United States government at the top level in these bureaucracies, has been full of losers

for a long time. I'm just going to tell you that a lot of losers, the appointees and also the careerists, not impressive people, way too in love with themselves, think that they're so holier than thou and that they're they're doing all this amazing work all the time, and they get a little drunk with the power. For sure, Hillary got away with it, folks. It was a horrific injustice.

So as we talk about law and order and law enforcement, let's not forget the Democrats will just pretend to laws don't exist when it suits them, whether it's writers in Portland or their presidential nominee violating classified protocols. You're in the freedom This is the Buck Sex and Show podcast. America must be a sanctuary for law a boding citizens, nut criminal aliens. My vision for America cities could not be more different from the lawlessness being pushed by the

extreme radical left. While others want to defund, defame, and abolish the police, I want to support and honor our great police. While the radicals want to abolish charter schools that eliminate school choice, I want to expand school choice, and every family in America should have that option. While others want to destroy opportunities, shut down businesses, and send our jobs overseas. We are hiring Americans, and we are buying American product. We want to build factories in Baltimore,

not Beijing. We want to make our products in Chicago, nut Shanghai. We want the American dream for American children, and I will fight to deliver that dream. Every ounce, every single ounce of my strength. I will be fighting. Biden and Obama released a video focusing on Trump's response to COVID nineteen. Shouldn't be surprised by that at all, because they really don't want to get to into the law enforcement debate. Right now. It's not looking good for Democrats.

They're on weak ground. They've embraced the lunatics, they've defended the lunatics, they've encouraged them, and now enough people are starting to see what the heck is going on in Portland, What was going on in Seattle with the autonomous zone? Why are there so many shootings and murders in Chicago all the time? Over two thousand shootings? Two thousand? I mean, this is when I heard that number yesterday, I was like,

you gotta be that's just not possible. It is. It is the two thousand shootings about you know, between six and seven shootings a day in Chicago on an annual basis. It's unbelievable, unbelievable what we see happening there. And I think that finally the wake up is happening and people are understanding what's really going on in a way that Democrats are not panic, but they realize, oh, this is a problem, this is a problem. I'm sorry, Yeah, over

two thousand shootings so far this year. It's not so it's it's much more, actually, on an annualized basis than what I'd said, um, two thousand shooings. The Chicago Tribune says that Chicago has had forty oh my gosh, forty thousand homicides in sixty three years. That's unbelievable, really really violent city. But you know who's gonna fix it? You know? What they're telling you you gotta do. You've got to hood this guy in charge. You've got to put Joe

Biden in the role of president. He's gonna fix everything for you. He's gonna make it all better. Um, here's Joe Biden play thirteen. And I had a nurse at at nurses at Walter Reed Hospital who had been down and whispering my year and go home and get me pillows. They would make sure they'd actually probably nothing ever taught in you can't do it in the COVID time, but they'd actually breathing my nostrils to make me move, to get get me moving. This is who they This is

who they want to be the President United States. He's folks, he's too old for this. We all know this. He doesn't he doesn't have it, doesn't have it, And anybody who's telling you otherwise is just pretending that they don't see it when it couldn't be more clear. Here you go, here's Joe Biden play eleven. What he's doing now, He's blaming everything on China. He's blaming everything on the Chinese.

He's blaming everything. And people don't make a distinction. As you will know, when a South Korean and someone from Beijing, they make no distinction. It's Asian and that's the way. And he's just using it as a wedge. What people no distinction. People will make a distinction between China and Asian America. What is I listened to Biden? I have to think sometimes I'm not clear. I don't even know how to criticize it, because it's not really clear what

he thinks. He's trying to say, that's where they want to make president. It says he's going to do such a better job. And remember he was vice president under Obama and there were race riots that was happening, Baltimore, Saint Louis neighborhoods burned down, terrible stuff going on, terrible stuff happening. Well, what was that's supposed to accomplish? What

were they doing to deal with that? Oh? You know they oh, let's let's have another Obama speech where we're all supposed to sit there and go, oh, Obama's so amazing, And he would say the most platitudinous stuff. You know, Well, you know, we need to have, you know, tough conversation sometimes, but we're not actually going to have that conversation We also need law enforcement to do a better job to overcome the you know, historical oppression of the past or whatever.

Right I mean, didn't do anything, didn't do any didn't fix it, anything, didn't help anybody, didn't do anything. A lot of talk, I let a talk on these issues. The Obama administration was bad for law and order. The BLM movement started under the Obama administration, and yet Biden somehow offers himself up as the answer to all this. It's just my friends, sometimes it's too much to take. You sit around and you think, when when will they

just give up lying so brazenly. But I don't know when that's going I don't know when that's going to happen. It's never going to happen. Actually, thanks for listening to the Bus and Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcast, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. This is what you see in countries where you have dictators, in third world countries with dictators who have military that they can call out against the people anytime we want.

As a matter of fact, it has been suggested that this is a trial run of the President of the United States, who may be organizing to not accept what happens when we have the election if he's not elected. Is he going to pull out his military? Is he going to engage us? He is already alluded to there may be a civil war if he's not re elected. Is there anything that is too egregious, conspiratorial, and outrageous for a Democrat member of Congress to say about this president?

I think we all have. The answer is no, but there is an They're a great example of what you can what you can get away with if you're a Democrat, what you're allowed to say. The president may be organizing his military. We're talking about federal law enforcement, which is not military. You would hope that members of Congress would understand that distinction. But this is what we're being told, My friends being told the president might not leave office.

As if that's not poisoning the discourse even more in our politics. But the focus this week you've seen is going to be on the maximum amount, the maximum panic that we can see from the COVID right now. They're they're trying to not talk about the law enforcement issue because Trump has finally figured out the right approach deploying these federal law enforcement officers. So what are they doing. They're saying, well, let's talk about how terrible Trump is

on on the COVID response. And one thing that has been clear to me all along is we keep refusing to learn the less since based on what's actually happened. And there are a lot of people who are very incentivized for a whole bunch of reasons to push policies, ideas and responses that are not rooted in the science, that are not rooted in the facts, in the data. You now have in Washington, DC, you now have a mask mandate, a mask mandate, A thousand dollars fine is

what you face from this mask mandate. If outdoors, mind you you have, if you are outside, you could be fined a thousand dollars and you could even go to jail. It depends on how many offenses you've committed. If we're not wearing a mask outdoors. We've been through this, and even the scientists that are, you know, a little bit of a bunch of big libs, you know, even the public policy the hell doctor Fauci, even Fouch. You ask

a Fouch, don't wear a mask outside of Fouch. You'll be like, hey, I don't mean, let's not be stupid. They don't got to wear a mask outside. I mean, come on, wear a mask all the red wear. I'm asking the shower in the bed, you know, wear a mask while you got the you're doing the horizontal mambo. Gott to wear a mask. But you gotta make sure that you don't necessarily wear a mask outside all the time, because that's nuts, right that the FOUCH has made this

much clear mask wearing outdoors unnecessary. It is unnecessary. Okay, Now, let's look at where we are on now. I mean, and I would look when I said, he probably advises people to do it, but it's not rooted in data. This is where we're this is what we're told now. Oh maybe if it saves just one infection, right, it used to be with guns and gun control the Democrats, what I wou say, if it saves one life, there's

no infringement upon your freedoms. That is too much. If it saves just one life, if it stops just one infection, has become the new standard. That has become the new declaration from the public health authorities that are out there, and it's just it's just disgusting, you know, what you've got Democrats that realize this is their single most effective line of attack against Trump. This is what they've got. Covids all his fault. He's done a terrible job. He

doesn't care about it. And look, did the President say some things in the early days that, in retrospect were probably unwise about this issue? Yes, of course, of course, but everybody did. Everyone thought it wasn't going to be that bad, including Fauci, including Democrats, including de Blasio in New York and Cuomo. People who are saying, go out shop, don't worry about it. Go out and shop a little bit, Go buy yourself more things. Your governor's here to take

care of you. Make sure you're all safe and sound. What do I mean by safe and sound? When you're safe and sound, you don't have to worry at night because I've brought you some woom milk, wool milk in a bottle. Why do you want wool milk in a bottle? Wom milk will often help you sleep because there's a biochemical thing that goes on. I can't really explain it, but it's very good for you. Cuomo was saying stupid stuff in the beginning Cuomo was all about, you know,

don't worry about it. We're fun. The only person who is repeatedly and routinely lamb based did for what he said in the first month of the pandemic is Trump, which is unfair. Everyone was trying to you know, everyone in the political sphere was trying to calm things down. Didn't want to panic, didn't want to be seen as panicking, and we got hit much worse than we thought. Now what people don't want to accept. And Rampaul was on Fox this morning, and we don't have the audio for you,

but I'll just tell you Rampaul has adopted exactly his belief. Now, this is a theory. I don't pretend that this is proven yet. But Rampaul, who's an MD. Okay, so he's a guy who does understand this stuff, has been a

practicing MD for decades. He's saying, Look, it's most likely and based on what we've seen that it's not that New York wears masks so well now and is doing such a good job because you know, hashtag science, it's that New York has gotten was hit so badly by the virus that there is a herd immunity within the population, and that makes sense. It's exactly what I've been telling you. Twenty to twenty five percent of New York bisrology testing has antibodies, and there's a large poor we don't know

what it is yet. But there's also because I think it's much more difficult to test for this. They don't they haven't been testing for this. We don't know what the T cell immunity is, which you put on top of that, imagine that every let's say it's up to forty or fifty percent. That means that the virus has half the ability to spread, so instead of the usual spread that would have. And this is where you get the R zero or R one, one person infects how

many other people? This is how the epidemiologists measure the spread of this. If you cut that number in half right off the bat, because there are half as many people that are susceptible to be infected, you're obviously dramatically contracting an outbreak wave of this. And there are other states where they did not have the same kind of wave that New York did, so they may be having that now. But if they are having that wave predominantly

among younger healthier people. That would explain why the mortality rate is so much lower, and that is actually a much more desirable outcome than what we had in New York. But no, what we're told is that New York got it right. Democrats know what they're doing. California is having the worst outbreak it's had yet in terms of cases, not in terms of well, I have to look at

what the fatality specifically are for California. But Rampaul is saying what I was telling you about last week, it's very likely the case here that one we can't really we can't stop this virus. That was always a fiction, and that's why we've never tried this before. We are an uncharted territory with these kinds of lockdowns, uncharted, never been done like this before. Why there have been terrible flu outbreaks, You go back in the past. I'm not

even just talking about nineteen eighteen. There have been other years. I think it was called the Hong Kong flu one year. There have been years where a lot of people were dying of flu. We've never tried this lockdown before, and we have tried masks before. They had cloth masks in nineteen eighteen during the Spanish influenzia. Just just to be big clear, people are covering their mouths. Still a lot

of people getting sick. So this is the moment in time where we're either going to see I want to say this, I mean, in the month of July, we're going to see if the cases start dropping dramatically, we're gonna have this fighting again. Oh is it because of new restrictions or is it because the virus has gone through its course. You think about the human body, you

get infected. What do they tell you when you get a common cold, Well, you can either wait seven days or treat it for a week, right, you know, wait for your body to fight it for seven days, or you can treat it every day for a week with whatever it is. You think basically you're going to be sick for about a week with a cold. I'm not talking about COVID nineteen. But these systems, these viruses that occur,

they they have a natural progression. This virus seems to also have a progression that it goes through a population, and there are certain susceptible markers. We don't even know the full We keep focusing on age, which we know is certainly one characteristic that causes problems. But we focus on age, and we focus on comorbidities like diabetes. There could be blood type, there could be T cell immunity.

There are these other things that we may find out play a big role in whether or not a popular or whether an individual within a broader population is susceptible to this disease. But lockdown or no, this virus tends to have its way. It goes through a population and then it moves on, and we are in a huge argument for the around the politics of this and the

science of this. No one really knows, and that we're being told now that it's just because it's really a self like a self flagellation that we're going through as a society. We're being told, oh, if only we had listened more to the scientists and listen more to the experts, this wouldn't have happened. To With that, I just don't

I don't believe that that's true. And I think it's a very strong case you could make that we did exactly what the experts told us to didn't really matter, and now we're being told to do things by experts that won't matter again, and they're claiming that if we don't do it, you know, whatever happens to us is our fault. And it's troubling to say the least. It's like we do we do not learn the right lessons. We just we learned the most politically convenient ones for

one side and blaming Trump for all this. Okay, now he's wearing a mask. Now we're going to go through this whole mask thing. California has been has been a masked up state for months and it's gotten hit with a huge wave of this. I don't know people that believe so much in science. You have virus in the air that you can't see, that's moving through with it. That that's particles that you can't see, and viruses you know,

you need an electron microscope to see one. And you have mesh on your mouth that has big big you know, not to our eyes, but if you looked in a microscope has big holes in it and you're breathing in and breathing out. So yeah, I do I think that it's useful for you if you know, so you don't spit out at somebody and maybe that has a lot

more virus. That's that's possible, But if this is really about long, continuous contacting the virus being in the air, You're breathing in and out virus with this mask on the same way you'd be breathing. I don't know. I don't know why that's such a This is like a heretical concept now, But I'm just trying to think it through. And I've read peer reviewed medical journal studies that say exactly that. But I don't want to I don't want

to get into the mask fight. I just I want to be very clear that locking people up or making finding them a thousand dollars because they don't want they don't wear a mask is is absurd. Is absurd outside, it's absurd. There's no basis for this. You're in. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. China back in the headlines. President Trump, his Department of State and Department of Justice taking action here the consulate in China, I'm sorry, in Houston,

the Chinese consulate in Houston has been ordered to be closed. Now, why would that happen? You might, I'd ask, why is that something that's going to happen? Well, consulate may have been a hub of intelligence and espionage activity, specifically trying to steal intellectual property and trade secrets. And this is what the Chinese government has been doing to us for decades, and nobody until Trump was willing to do really much

of anything about it. We just kept on sitting around saying, Oh, I guess we're getting I guess we're gonna keep getting ripped off by the Chinese. I guess we're gonna keep getting, you know, treated this way. What can you do? No, this is a huge problem, one that should be confronted. You have the closure of this consulate, the Chinese government saying that they may respond in kind and close a

US consulate somewhere. But it's like we've woken up from our somnambulance and are finally in a place where we're seeing the Chinese Communist Party for what it really is. Now we understand that they're not looking they're not looking to make friends, they're not looking to play nice. They want to cheat, they want to steal, and they have doing this systematically for basically as long as I've been alive.

And now we're finally saying enough, enough is enough. China is calling this, it's it's foreign ministries calling this an unprecedented escalation, and they say they're going to retaliate in kind. The US Departments of State has said that quote, they close this in order to protect American intellectual property and Americans private information. Did not immediately provide additional details of

what prompted the closure the Chinese. Chinese media says the consulate has seventy two hours to close protect intellectual property from theft because what's going on is the Chinese are using their footholds in the United States to do everything they can to steal as much intellectual property from us as they can, and that is their move, that is

the maneuver. So you also have reporting that in I think it's in San Francisco and the consulate there, there's someone that we think has been up to some bad stuff on behalf of China, and we're thinking they're hiding somebody in the consul in San Francisco. And this is this is old school. We're gonna wake up at some point were it's the early stage now and realize that we're in a Cold war with China. Folks, all right, this is the new Cold War. It's just being fought differently.

It's much more cyber it's much more happening on the web. But this is China's biggest campaign. And remember they've got a much larger population than us, and you know that there are some advantages that they have in the long game against us. So our intellectual property is, you know, our technology and information advantage. That's our single most valuable economic and in many ways military as set to right.

If China has you faster planes and better aircraft, carriers and submarines and you know, you name it, and we can't get into a conflict with them down the line, we're gonna be a really bad spot. They got a whole lot more people than us do so and I know, we haven't really been thinking about any near peer competitor in that way in a long time since the fall the Silvie Union. We're gonna have to start thinking about that again. China is not looking to be number two.

They're not happy in the number two spots. China wants to be number one. They're challenging the United States, They're challenging our hegemony. And this is the execution of their plan that we're seeing, a long standing plan that they've unfortunately been allowed to be very successful in up to this point, people are Rubio is claiming the consulate was a central note of Communist Party spies. Yeah, you don't say, not a surprise at all. Democrats, of course, want to

pretend this isn't a threat. They don't want to act like the Trump administration is doing the right thing because they've been completely you sleep at the wheel. And if it's a choice between helping Trump or allowing the Chinese Communist Party to get away with this stuff, we all know they're gonna allow the Chinese Communist Party to get away with this stuff. That's the democrats preference. Shows shows you where their priorities lie. Thanks for listening to The

Busson Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. It's harsany time, everybody. David Harsani in the house, senior writer over at National Review, long time conservative thinker, thought leader. He's skillful with the pen or I guess with the key stroke. Mister Harsan, you good to have you back. Thank you for those kind words. Yeah, man, so tell me this. Yeah you're technically you are my first ever op ed editor at

the Blaze. So you know, we we go, we go way back now almost the decade. David, you forget about this sometimes. Yeah, so so tell me this. Yeah, you you are in DC right now. How are you going to feel if you go outside in a relatively suburban area of DC, get some sunshine, no one near you, and DC Metro pulls up and says, where's your mask? Buddy,

here's a thousand dollars. Fine. It's crazy. I mean, I think when we start going from suggesting that people do things for the common good, which incidentally most people I think basically do, to criminalizing their lack of an action, which you know somewhat proven. I mean, obviously it's probably you probably disagree, but it's I think it's helpful in mitigating it, especially inside if you're in places for a

long time, et cetera. But outside, I mean, I don't think there's any science to say that, especially if I'm social distancing already, that I need to wear a mask. I can. I just I just want to hop in. David, I don't. I don't disagree, and I appreciate your the

delica where you put that. I don't disagree that there are circumstances indoors where you know, even if a mask is gonna maybe mitigate spread five percent, Okay, Well, you know, if you're near your senior relatives or someone immunocompromise, you're going to be in close quarters for a long time. You know that maybe that five percent is worth it, right,

and certainly in hospital settings and other situations. So I'm not an anti masker, but I do know that outside all that they have done studies, everyone has looked at this so far and said, outside in the open air, you're you're opposing effectively zero risk of transmission. And if we're going to start making serious mandates, I mean a thousand dollars possible jail time for things that are based on an outlandish possibility. I just don't know where that

stops and starts. For the government, well, there's no end to it, I don't think. I mean, once you start jailing, people are fighting. You know, these are serious finds if you're not you know, for for a middle class or working class person, a thousand dollars is you know, rent or whatever. So these are serious fines. I think you know, and I think you're right. I mean, and also by the way, private places and indoor place has already put

their own mandates on having to wear a mask. You can't come in my store if you don't wear a mask. I'm one hundred percent fine with that, But outdoors, it's it's nuts. And you know where does that lead? What does that say about other things? I mean, I'm not comparing it to the flu. I realize it's much worse, et cetera. But still forty to fifty thousand people die every year. That matters too, right, therese are a lot of lives. And if you can do that sort of thing, now,

why couldn't you do it in other situations? I mean, that could save lives. Why don't we try it? You know? You know, you know? The why is the speed limit thirty miles an hour nationwide. I would say that would save a lot. I would save a lot of life. As a matter of fact, it would save a lot

of lives. We all know that. And I would note that whenever someone brings up there's this this this visceral reaction to the flu comparison that you just made, and I've made it many times too, and when when libs do engage on it, it automatically turns into it's not the flu. And that's not the point. We're not saying it's the flu. We're not saying it's not worse than the flu. We're just saying, I mean, forty to fifty thousand or forty to sixty thousand lives separately from COVID nineteen,

that's a lot alive. So why don't we why don't we have all these restrictions in places? Yeah, yeah, here's my problem. Where is this arbitrary line where something becomes an emergency where governors can act like dictators. Now people are going to be mad about that because they'll say they're only doing it, you know, to help people for the common good. But that's Listen, most emergencies, I mean, most uses of power come out of some real life crisis, right,

so that people take power and they shouldn't. I made this point elsewhere, But the Hungarian prime minister took powers over society essentially during COVID. He's already given them back like a month ago, and the guy in California is still using them. Right, What is the arbitrary number of lives saved that gives the power that says the constitution doesn't matter, that says you can shut down churches that says you can throw people in jail from not putting

a cloth over their mouth. I just want to know, let me know how many lives you know, what is the what is the number? Forty thirty thousand, hundred thousand. There has to be some sort of number. Otherwise we could just throw the Constitution to the side whenever we feel like, I mean that, then what is it worth? Not much? I have this this An example that comes to mind is you know there was this move that restaurants made where they were handing out what or they're

selling what are called Cuomo chips. I'm sure you've seen this where because Cuomo just says, I don't want people just sitting outside even and drinking at a restaurant. They have to be eating food. So you can't serve them alcohol. You have to serve them food as well. So then the restaurants started selling one dollar potato chips or nuts a tiny and these restaurants are barely I know restaurants that are going through this right, they're barely hanging onto

whatever they've got. They're way behind and rent, they're at half staff, they've had a furlower fire people, and so they say Okay, fine, we'll sell you know, a dollar potato chips. Now Cuomo has changed it. No, it has to be a sub antial meal with your And what I want to ask people is, okay, if that's now that, if that's now the rule. What about it has to be the three major food groups? You know? What about it has to be a nice mixture of protein, carb,

and fat because there's a health issue there too. People look at me like I'm crazy. I say, no, I'm serious. There's no he's just making these determinations. There's no legislation, there's no content. They look yeah, they look at you like you're crazy. Now, but five months from now, you know, there'll be some so they'll ten years ago more than ten years ago, thirteen years are a ritable called nanny state, where you know, what happens is there's always a mission crew.

You say that's you know, you'll say, well, if you can do this, there's a slippery slope, and they're like, you're just overreacting, that's just crazy, You're crazy. And then like five months later you're arguing about that and they move to the next thing. You know, and this has been happening. First it was flattened the curve, and now it's I'm going to throw you in jail if you don't wear a cloth on your face outside. I mean

that's a pretty big jump in three months. If I would have told you that you were going to find people a thousand dollars and possibly throw them in jail in March, you would have you would have laughed. They would have laughed at you and said, you're crazy. That's never gonna happen. And here we are now an hour there, yeah, and and and we want a national mask mandate. Like what I always want to yell at the reporter, like what under what constitutional power does the president have power

troops to have a mask mandate in the States. Who's gonna enforce it? Is the CDC? You're gonna drop a paratroopers into Wyoming. I mean, it doesn't make any sense. It's insane. And people say this, no, dude, I'm getting fired a better two people say this on TV like it's intelligent. You know, Democrats are pushing this, even some Republicans. I mean, this is there's a there's a bi partisan

statism that is just mind blowing right now. And whenever you try to ask whenever you try to engage the debate, people just respond with this shrill hysteria. You can't talk about anything anymore. I mean my point about the Cuomo chips, what's a substantial meal. And you might say, oh, Black, how big a deal is this. Well, he's gonna pull liquor licenses from restaurants that don't do what he says,

which puts them immediately out of business. I mean this means and so you know, if you've spent a million dollars renovating a restaurant and you've put your life savings into it, Cuomo can come over and be like, you know, and you're already on the brink of collapse in bankruptcy because of the lockdowns for the pandemic. Now he can come along and be like, you know, you're not serving enough food with the booze you're serving. What this has

to do with science is beyond anyone's comprehension. So I'm gonna pull your liquor license. Now they're done. Now they're finished. And I look at it, and then he's threatening to do that, right, that's what he says he's going to do. I'm not making this up. And everyone seems to walk Herlin, This is all okay, are we just in as a mass psychosis right now because of the real threat of COVID nineteen. But that I do think has been greatly

exaggerated is that where we are what's happening. Well, I think that we've moved from trying to go or maybe we never were there, but from governing with you know, you're judiciously and diligently deal with stuff. You think about science, but you also think about the economic trade offs involved, and you try to move forward. And now it's just

turned into fear mongering. I mean, I you know, people, most of the folks who now pretend that New York did great and everyone else had done poorly are fear mongering. You know, they they en lying basically, but fear monitoring, and people are susceptible to that. It's susceptible today. It would be it would be like if we were talking and we're speaking to David Harsani of National Review, you should all be reading his stuff over at National Review. M David. It would to me it would be like

if we were doing an assessment. I mean, the media is engaged in this game right now. If we were doing an assessment of natural disaster response, right, and and let's say we're focusing in on how you know New York has done in response to, you know, a hurricane and versus you know, how Florida doesn't response to hurricanes.

And New York had just suffered, you know, thirty thousand dead as from a hurricane that ripped through and then Florida gets hit with a much lesser hurricane and has you know, four thousand dead this month as opposed to New York's thirty thousand dead back in March and April, and everyone saying, look at what a great job New York does with hurricanes. It's how you know, it's the most it's the most despicable gaslighting I've seen in political

journalism in a long time. People like Paul Kargman are doing it. You know, this is how what we can accomplish zero deaths today. This is what we can accomplish if only we follow the lead of Mary O Cuomo who sents a bunch of people to die in nursing homes at whose state and city of New York? Andrew, but yeah, Marry is the dead. Yeah, I really we know who you may yeah? Maybe yeah, Um, so you know, David, I also want to ask you, I mean by your

we're right about the nursing home thing. That's just it's it's a decision that was made that no intel person could have thought that was a good idea at the time, and it clearly led to a lot of people dying. And that they're pretending that Cuomo did a good job and that he's in a position to lecture anybody. This is what they look. This is why you look Democrats.

I don't want to say can't trust them, tell people can't trust them, but I do want to get your take on what we see going on in poor LANDA now also Chicago, A number of cities have come up here where it has become the dominant narrative among the Democrat Party and the national media that federal law enforcement officers are an invading army in US cities. That's really what they're suggesting and saying with all this, they're not allowed to come here stuff. This is beyond stupid and reckless.

What is that? What is the real game plan? Well, I just want to say it's a good segue that we can't trust Democrats. I mean, I for a few hours the other day fell for this idea that we had federal troops in Camo, which they were in Camo, but you know, in unmarked vans without their badge numbers, kidnapping Americans. And I didn't fall for it completely, but I was like, this is kind of out of line.

We can't have militarized the police in cities dealing with protesters, even if they're somewhat violent like this, that's a local concern. And I still sort of believe that in general it's a local I would leave Portland to the anarchists and there are vetters in government and let them deal with it. But the idea that the federal government can show up to protect federal courthouse buildings and federal monuments is absurd.

And it was one arrest. As far as I know, I could be wrong, and the guy was released an hour and a half later. He was read as Miranda right to want to speak without a lawyer, and they let him go. I mean to call that an invasion, as Michelle Goldberg did in the New York Times. It's demented right. These people want to be taken seriously, David, all these issues, and I know I sat in a Fusion Center for almost two years with NYPD, FBI, DHS, ICE, US, Marshall,

you name it. This happens in cities all across the country every day, and they're helping each other on cases and backing each other up and going out on raids. It's it's like it's like our journalist it's like our journalist class knows nothing about zero about law enforcement. I mean the DA. When I lived in Denver, I used to cover the drug war stuff, and the DA was banging down doors and going into houses, and I'm not sure that the local police even knew about that. Sometimes

they were undercover. Listen. I don't like the Camo. There was a symbolism there. I'm not crazy about military style things in cities, but we have to be honest here. These are rioters and terrorists quite often, not all of them, but plenty of them. They fire bombed the Portland Federal Courthouse or tried to. There's video of this stuff, and then they act like it's like some you know, Nazi armies showing up. It's just and they still pretend like

it's nothing. I see reporters pretending like there's no violence, no one's doing anything there's a quality of life issue. I'm almost I'm an absolutist from free speech right, but the people who live in these cities also have rights. You can simply shut down entire parts of cities and not let businesses open, and not let people move around and have freedom of movement. It's just it's a disaster.

Do you think the Democrats are finally, I've been saying today that I think that they've kind of bitten off more than they can chew right now with this whole movement, all the stuff going on. Do you think that they're on defense or am I Am I giving the American people too much credit? I think that because they have Trump always to just you know, call them a fascist and lean on Trump and Trump often giving them, you know, saying things that gives them some read, there's some reason

to do. That makes it a little easier for them. But I mean, I don't know how long this can happen in cities where people don't start to say, wait a minute, Democrats. I mean, has has Joe Biden or anyone said anything about these writers in cities? I don't think so. The only nope, remember is Nancy Pelosi saying that sometimes statues have to come down, which is essentially, you know, for saying that the mob is okay, yeah, go for I the democratic, the recklessness and the intellectual dishonesty,

just the dishonesty is pretty incredible every day. But anyway, man, stay safe, David, don't don't go challenge to the anti for mob to a one on one, Okay, make sure that you stay and stay indoors. You'll be hardened to know. I'm usually right here in this good spot. Safe, buddy, David Harsan everybody nash review dot com. Check out his latest also follow him on Twitter. Thanks so much, David, Thank you, You're in the freedom Heart. This is the Buck Sex and Show podcast. Today's for left is not

interested in winning debates with better arguments. They prefer to shut down debate altogether. They don't try to win the contest. They just harun the referees to drop the game. If they don't like an op ed, they want to unpublished. If they don't like a tweak, they want to track down the author and get them fired. They don't like Kennard Professor, They throw around orwelly on the accusations that his or her ideas make them feel, make them feel unsafe.

Marjory McConnell understairs, what's going on here? I agree? I agree. Or McConnell understands cancel culture. I think he's got it. I think he knows what's really going on, folks. I mentioned this top of the show. I just wanted to

tell you all. You know. The New York Times has an op ed out speaking of cancel culture and what you're allowed to do, what you're not allowed to do, an op ed that takes the position that if you form a private a private pod, so you get bring kids together because schools aren't gonna be open because Democrats won't open them, even though the science is not with them on this, if you try to form a private essentially study group for your kids, you're, according to this

New York Times op ed, you are engaged in systemic racism. That's and you're not keep in mind, you're not in any way. They call it the editorials the latest in segregation. That's what they're calling in school segregation, private pandemic pods. If they become the norm less privileged kids will suffer. So basically, this is an editorial written by an educator in the New York Times telling you make sure you

feel a lot of guilt if you're white. Of course, white guilt if you respond to the shutdown of schools by having study groups that your kids will be in with other kids and having certain adults lead them and effectively organize on your own what would be like homeschooling, because that will disenfranchise predominantly minority students who won't have parents who, in this editorialist opinion, will take the same

steps do the same things. So she doesn't have By the way, this is Clara Tottenberg Greene who wrote this oup ed on the latest in school segregation. Wow, that's what she calls it. Yeah, she doesn't have an answer for you as to what should be done, because what our parents supposed to do. They are trying to figure out ways to adapt to democrats shutting down schools. She just wants you to know, feel guilty about it, Feel guilty about your kids getting ahead. That's the whole purpose

of the editorial. Thanks for listening to The Bus Sesson Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple Podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. Team Buck, It's time for roll Call I kind of like that old jazz, jazzy jazz. You know, is that would that being considered big band or no, that's yes, it's actually labeled a big band it is. Yeah, Well there you go. I like that stuff. That's it's kind of fun. Actually, what is producer marks least favorite type of music? I don't

know if I have one. Maybe classical. Interesting if you saw the New York Times had a published that editorial and how to get rid of to get rid of discrimination in classical music auditions, get rid of the blind audition, meaning that they you know, it used to be that orchestras were almost entirely male, and so then they started putting up a partition and letting men and women compete just by virtue of the sound that they make with their instrument. And then women became a much bigger part

of orchestra's percentage wise, basically close to fifty percent. I think now it might even be a little more. But there are not enough black and Latino members of a lead orchestras. So the New York Times editorial page wants to go back to Essentially, they found a way to not discriminate, and now they want to go back to positive discrimination. That's their view. So I don't think I talked about that on the show before. I just thought that was interesting because you know, what about what about

different sports teams? You know? Or are we going to start saying are we going to eliminate uh, you know, athletic ability and and say we need we need a more diverse sports team when no one, no one ever advocates for that. It's interesting, isn't it. No one no one's tendant telling the NHL where where are all of your guys who are Asian American? Let's say you don't see that. Are there actually question for you more? Are there any Asian American NHL players just out of curiosity

that you can think of off the top of my head? No? I mean, I remember Jeremy Lynn in the NBA. You know Lynn sanity. Everybody was talking about that guy who had a He had a huge period there of you know, a lot of media attention anyway, All right, all right, back to a roll call um Kevin for oh I remember, go to bucksexon dot com please posting stuff. Also the

Hill dot com. I have an editorial going up there today on how the Democrats are the riot Party please read it, clickt like it all that good stuff, Kevin. I bought a gun in May and have not been cleared by the Colorado background check system, parts of which are suspended indefinitely for the pandemic. You see, they're already seizing our guns under the auspices of public health, and they're getting away with it, so they won't stop there. Today it is new guns. Soon it will be all guns.

Could you clarify for me this wave of leftism? Isn't this a branch of communism? The left aren't socialists anymore. They've gone full commy from my perspective, and I think we should clearly identify them as such. Unfortunately, the commies took control of education decades ago. My sixteen year old daughter only knows the radical left agenda, despite my teaching her otherwise, and in her words, it is the job

of her generation to educate the rest of us. I don't see how America will survive the next fifty years with millions of want to be revolutionaries, social justice warriors, and community organizers running a wrong Shields Rocky Mountain High, Kevin M. First of all, excellent, excellent note to us, Thank you so much and is today's leftism a branch of communism. There are similarities with communism, there are differences

with communism. And it's worth always noting that the earliest communists thought of themselves and would write of themselves as socialists in the early days of the movement, So they they thought of and Marx would write of socialism often and that they would refer to themselves as socialists. So there's the distinctions can get very blurry. There's the clear academic the academic definition of communism. You have to have

a revolutionary committee or a central committee. Really it's a revolution until it gets established long enough, but a central committee that makes all the determinations about the production and distribution of goods. That's a that's a pretty broad, pretty loose definition. But that's a distinction between just general socialism. So this is why people talk about democratic socialism versus communism. Is really just totalitarian socialism. That might be a good

way of thinking about it. Uh yeah, So that's what I got for you on that. And as for your your sixteen year old daughter, I don't know. Hopefully she'll start paying taxes and realize that the world isn't what he's been led to believe it is by the Libs, But you know, I don't know. People are I know adults, I know people that knew me before I got into politics, and they've been occasionally reaching out to me in recent

months and they're just like, I don't understand. I thought you were still nice and like smart and like you're you're so right wing, and was like, oh, well, I guess it's kind of a was kind of a compliment, but not really. I don't know. Lewis. Next up in the mix here, Bucking Mark. I'm in California. A fellow union worker turned me onto your show in the summer twenty nineteen. I've not missed a show since. Thank you so much for what you do. Well, Thank you, Lewis,

and I really appreciate that. Thank you for the loyalty to the freedom. Hut Man honored to have you. About the mask mandate. I believe that the left is pushing this agenda to actually spread the virus. If you think about it, when you see your doctor prepping for surgery, he or she scrubs and puts on PPE. The general public donned their PPE, then touches a number of surfaces while in public. Then may touch, remove a just Ppe without having clean hands, just a thought. Once again, love

the show and shields. Hie Lewis. First of all, thank you so much. As for your what you're saying about PPE, I agree in part and don't see it the same way in part on the touching of face masks and the using of face masks that may be contaminated. That originally was a major concern and one of the reasons why we were told not to wear masks, but that has since been abandoned because we're now in a mask mania and led to believe that if only we wear masks,

all of this will go away. Because I think at some level also there's a deep psychological need that many people have in this country to think that it's in our hands and that if only we listen to the science will all be okay. When we'll be okay, But it has nothing to do really ultimately with listening to the science. The virus is doing what the virus does.

People don't like to hear. Then I understand that I don't like to say it, but I think that's what an honest view of what has happened in the last few months would tell anybody. So yeah, Ppe getting contaminated and then becoming a source of possible transmission on its own. That's a real concern. People have been bringing that up, and it makes sense. Just think it through. That makes sense, right. And then for the next part of this that you think the Democrats might be doing this on purpose, I

can't say that. I see that this would be I think they want lockdowns and they want masks because of the symbolism of it. I don't think that they're actively I do believe a lot of Democrats that think that masks will make everything better there. I think they believe it. I don't think that they're right, but I do think they believe it. So I don't think that they're doing it for the purpose that you laid out. But you know, I don't know everything, so we'll say that Ryan hey Buck,

I work at a retirement community in Virginia. We have around two hundred residents and four hundred staff. Since the pandemic started, we've managed to not have any residents test positive for COVID and only five staff have tested positive. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid and the Virginia Department of Health have put together guidelines for us to reopen our nursing home and assisted living facility, it's a phase reopening, and in order to get us to two, it was

mandatory to test every resident and all staff. The National Guard came out and did all of our testing on site. The results took five days to get back, begging the question why do it in the first place. If positive results come back, what good are they when the resident or staff has been exposing others around them. Love your thoughts on this, shields high, brother, Ryan, You're you're at the you know that's that's kind of a ground zero for where the highest risk is for the residents in

the retirement community. So I'm sure you have a view of this that would be very interesting for others to know about. And as for what you're telling me about the testing lag, yeah, of course, this is why I've been saying that you all know, if you listen to the show, I've been saying just think it through test and trace, which was a mantra repeated endlessly and mindlessly on TV almost entirely by Democrat politicians and assorted talking

heads and medical experts that the left likes. That is absurd. We've got sixty thousand cases a day, which means probably sixty six hundred thousand new infections every day. So how are you going to trace that? Of course you're not going to trace that. I mean, it's it's it's a complete it's a joke. It's absurd. But the people that thought we would be able to trace that are still now telling you you're going to wear a mask, wear

a mask, do this or else. H Where's no, we're not supposed to pay attention what they've been wrong about in the past. Of course. Yeah, So the lag in testing and also the inability to trace shows you that one of the one of the mantras of the left on this all along is forget about being rooted in the science. It's just not rooted in rational thought. It's not possible that you're going to trace all these cases, not even close. You can't even trace all these trace

all these cases in one city. And even if you could trace them, what good would it do you? I think you're always going to be playing okay if you if you trace a thousand cases that a new case is on Monday in Miami, you trace them all, okay, But then the next day you're going to find out that those thousand people have infected another thousand people. You try to trace that, you know, you're always you're you're always chasing after it. You're not going to get to

a point where you can contain. This disease moves too quickly and it's already too far throughout the community. So that's that's all you need to know with that. It really, it really is. Um okay. Next up here, Mike, hey Buck love the show, tinfoil hat stuff here, but one of the odds, the Deep Steak gets Geeland Maxwell to testify against Trump with some phony, egregious connection to Epstein

November surprise. Maybe. Um, Mike, I, first of all, we love that you love the show, so thank you for that. I don't think that's gonna happen, but it is a certainly creative way to think about it. I don't think that that that that would be look because if she testified, let's just let's just play your theory out for a second.

If she testified against Trump, you'd have to provide some some kind of evidence, and if and if she wasn't able to, I think it would be too clear that this was a setup, that it was a ruse a hoax all of that show. That's where it is and that's where we are. Thank you Mike for writing in You're in the Freedom Hud. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast The Rowe Call f Continue with Todd. Where are the Republican fighters? Cruise, Paul Gouty Garret to Troy Garret, Cranshaw, Graham.

Come on, guys, we need to be fighting every day. The election's only one hundred and five days away. It's the fourth quarter, and we are losing. We need a lot of offense right now, and it seems the Republicans aren't even playing defense. They're just forfeiting. Thank you for fighting for his brother Shields High. Todd endorsed Agree Coast nine. I feel like, you know, Cruise has been stepping up and saying some good stuff recently. Um, Graham, he's gonna

get the answers for us. You know, he's gonna he's gonna go on Fox tonight and he's gonna get to the bottom. That's what we hear from the same We hear the same stuff from Lindsey Graham every day, every day, the same stuff. You know, I'm I've had enough, I'm gonna we're gonna get answers. Sure, he's been gonna get your answers for four years now. Trump here he doesn't not getting you any answers. But you know that the Senate Intelligence Committee has been a waste during the whole

Russia thing. Just totally am I A on on all things Trump Russia collusion. So Lindsey Graham not exactly h exactly getting it getting it done. I know he's on Judiciary, but I'm just saying the Senate they could do the same. I think of the same kind of review. Uh, Chopper, as didn't get too the h Choppa, Hey Buck love the show. I'm old enough to remember when President Obama ordered drone strikes on American citizens and the Democrats loved it.

This feigned outrage over d HS tactics in Portland is comical. Chopper, I understand, man, I get it. I'm with you. I think that there's a huge, there has always been a huge double standard in assessing anything from the Obama administration and what has been going on and the Trump administration. There was barely a peep from the media when Obama not only ordered the droning of and We're all Lockey,

but also his sixteen year old son US citizens. Folks droned done, and everyone just was supposed to say, okay, well Obama thought they were really bad, and they were at least in a foreign country, so no one made too much noise about it. That is what happened. Erin This is so stupid. These democrats are going against the constitution. They need to be called all doubt for it, like you were doing. I've always loved listening when you talk

very influential, Aaron. Thank you so much. That's really kind of you. And we do the best we can here every day. And the good news is because of folks like you, the show is constantly growing, audience is growing, and we have more and more influence, which is what I look. I make no secret of it. That's what I want. I want. I want every conservative in the country to be listening to this show, this radio show, and whatever your station is, and listening to our podcast

BUCKSX and dot com. Remember Spotify, iHeart app. You can listen to it there. And yeah, that's that's my plan. That's what I hope. So thank you so much, Aaron. And yes, in terms of the constitutionality of what the Democrats are saying, what they're doing. They're horrible. How about that? They're just the worst. They are calling for national mask mandates, and I just I want to pull my hair out, which I won't do, of course, but I want to pull my hair out because where where is that authority?

And if you can give everybody a national mask mandate, how long does that last? How do you enforce that? Are we gonna start locking people up or not wearing masks outside because there's some small chance that it might reduce maybe one transmission of a virus that has a ninety nine point seven percent survival rate. That's really the country we're gonna be living in. It's pretty crazy when

you think about it. Uh, let's see, Brian, tell me it's I of the tiger you built out to producer Mark and producer Nick to rob them up for the work greatness. It's the tiger for a producer star Mark. I'm rising up to his challenge as the board up? What do you think I am? Not a board up? Yeah? I know, but you got to you gotta run the board. We don't really have a board anymore. Well, yeah, but that's under you, you know, you produce all of the things. Yeah,

that's executive producer Mark Team. Yeah, that's fair, executive producer Mark. He's I have the Tiger might become his new fight song in the morning, so that may end up happening, depends on how grumpy he is. Jenna Hagan, Buck Craven t Shirts PRER Conversation, do one with Commie Bear. I'm so in and Shield's High. You know, a warrior working on my whole wardrobe and anticipation. Shields High, Gina. We'll get it done. Producer Mark will be in charge of

design and approval, and that's how we'll roll. Everybody. Thanks for being here. We'll talk more tomorrow. Shield's High.
