It's really a perfect view, a preview, if you will, of what you can expect from this Democrat administration. I don't know who thinks that this is in any way of surprise. I certainly don't. We have here is the National Guard defending defending our
sacred democracy. All the stuff we were hearing from the Democrats about how important it was because of Trump voters. Of course, we're dangerous. Trump voters are dangerous. You can't trust them on seventy five million of them, but he can't trust them. And they had to deploy National Guard all over DC in numbers no one has ever seen in living memory because of what exactly, because of the threat, and because they want to have a show of force.
That's what you would call this. If we were looking at another country that had gone through this, we'd say, oh, okay, so the new government wanted to engage in a show of force. That is exactly what happened. And they were all about how the National Guard was necessary because of the threat of imminent violence from Trump voters and white supremacists and insurgents and all the stuff that they said.
But then we saw what they really think. What Pelosi and Schumer, Well, what do these elitist democrats actually think of the National Guard? Well, they needed to be vetted for pro Trump sympathies, which was offensive. Just the fact that that was even raised, that that was even talked about, should enrage people. What is this all of a sudden. Now there are ideological tests that we run for the military to see if they're supportive of the former president.
That's gonna work out really well for the future of this country. That's not going to lead to any problems. But now we see even more than before what the truth is here the new regime's treatment of the National Guard. Here is, as I said, a perfect preview of their approach to everyday Americans. At first, it's all smiles and handshakes for the photo op. Then some Pelosi staffer hurries you out the servants entrance, advises you to catch a bus as the door slams. They don't give a crap
about you, me and our National Guard. That's right, doesn't matter, No thought given to this whatsoever. Here's the headline from Politico yesterday, dozens of Senators and Congressmen walked down our lines. This is a quote, taking photos, shaking our hands and thanking us for our service. One National Guard has been said within twenty four hours, they had no further use for us and banished us to the corner of a parking garage. Look at that quote. We feel incredibly betrayed.
That's right. We feel incredibly betrayed. Is that he won even a little bit surprised by this. Here's more of the story. Thousands of National guardsmen were allowed back into the Capitol late Thursday night after US police officers. US Capitol Police ordered them to vacate the facilities, sending them outdoors or to parking garages. After two weeks of pulling security duty. After the January sixth Capitol Hill riot, one unit, which which was in the Dirk's Incentate office building, was
abruptly told to vacate the facility on Thursday. The group was told to rest in a nearby parking garage without Internet reception, with one electrical outlet and one bathroom stall for five thousand troops. Temperatures were in the forties in Washington at the time. Yes Democrats. Oh, they're gonna be so good at governance. They're gonna take care of us.
They care about the troops, all that stuff about you know, going after Vietnam vets and stretching on for decades, and how it all came from the left, and the undermining of our soldiers during a time of war Iraq Afghanistan. I mean, you know, we can forget it. The Democrat politicians really love the troops. Sure, they care so much about them. Yeah, it's just amazing. It's just amazing to see it, isn't It didn't even take didn't even take
us twenty four hours. Didn't take us twenty four hours before we were able to see what Biden and the Democrats really think of the United States military. I mean, what kind of respect do they really hold them in? You know, they're they're they're useful sometimes, but you know, some of them are Trump voters. And the ones who
were a Trump voters, they're not fancy people. They're not hanging out with Pelosi and Schumer and all these other rich Democrat politicians that care so much about the working class. Oh oh, and they care Pelosi cares so much about minorities. This is the fundamental fraud of the Democrat Party that they have these people who actually care in a deep and meaningful way about everyday Americans, the working class, the poor,
about you know, the National Guard, about minorities. Just just pick a group that they care so much, Yeah, banish them as soon as they were done with them. And you know this is this is just indicative of what you can expect from from the Biden administration because they're gonna get sloppy. That's one thing that you know is gonna happen. They're gonna get sloppy because ultimately they don't have any real check on their behavior from the press
or the media. They get lacks. Biden, the Democrats, when they're in charge of things, they figure, well, we don't have to worry about it. It's not like anyone's really gonna dig up the dirty laundry of good old blue collar Joe. So they figure they can kind of do whatever they want and no big deal, don't even have to worry about it. And then stuff like this happens, and you'll see more. It's been it's been twenty four hours basically now forty eight, but I've been come on,
it's the first week. We just had the inauguration on Wednesday, and here we are already seeing that they do not really care. Now you'd say, oh, this is an overstatement. No it's not. It's not. They have these they had these National Guards. But I spoke to people who are are current and former military about this. They were all saying, why are they having them all sleep on marble floors? They have they have sleeping bags, they've got ruck sacks, they've got pads to put down. I mean, the all
just gonna sleep on the floor of the Capitol. First of all, where they even called them in the first place. He didn't need to have thirty thousand National Guard troops or twenty eight thousand or seven thousand, whatever the number was, twenty seven thousand. He didn't need that. It's insane, right, you know, there there was some some people you know, who are Trump voters or supporters, made a very dumb decision on January sixth, and that's that's it. Everybody else
is like, what the hell are you doing? There's not some huge movement. They're they're not gonna overturn inauguration day or you know, a whole DC underseades was all lunacy, lunacy, But it's useful because Democrats other they're so scared of the Republicans. Oh my gosh, Trump voters. They smell terrified
of them. But they were all about the photo ops with the National Guard, all about making sure that we saw them defending our sacred democracy, that Joe Biden was now going to steer back into the light of day. And then you know then things kind of just weren't as important to them anymore. Yeah, that's right. Now, it's five thousand. You go into a cold garage, lie on
the concrete. You've only pulled a twelve hour shift doing a completely unnecessary guard duty that we're making you do as the United States Congress, as the Democrat regime comes into power. Yeah, go lie in the concrete. Yeah, sure, that's that's what you know? What do you? What do you? What do you? National Guard? People say, you know who? Who? Ah? I can just see Pelosi? You know who? Rah? What is it? Yeah? Go whurrah on the concrete. There you go.
That's how they actually that's what they actually think. You think these politicians, I mean, say what you will about Trump, I'll say this, and this is why that lie in that news story from August of twenty twenty about how he said, you know that the troops were troops who were killed in battle or losers or something. Trump actually really respected the military. He thinks those guys are badasses, and they're cool guys and gals, of course, but you know what I mean, he he's got nothing to love
for the United States military. You just know, that's just the kind of guy that that's part of his whole approach. That's his ethos. Legs brave, courageous go getters who likes the United States military. He think Pelosi cares about the military really. And Biden, look, Biden's he's just a big fraud, phony phony. He does whatever he's got to do and whatever the moment is in order to keep getting elected.
I mean, he's just to keep getting elected. Machine. Got a big grin, you know, and all kinds of work done around his eyes so he doesn't look like he's quite as old as he is. And you know, it's all just optics. That's what we have. Now. We have an empty suit politician as the president. You know, you could love her, hey Trump, but at least there was
something going on there. At least there was a guy who came in, who was shaking things up, who had a different vision, who had a lot of personality and a lot of ideas about what he wanted to do, and was forceful. It was like, I want to get I want to do this, I want to get this done.
This is what we're gonna say, Joe Biden, it's all gonna be one of the staff, right where A lot of that not to be mean, but you even see like Jens look, Trump had tear some terrible picks for especially in the first year of his term, terrible picks that he put around him, but he didn't he wasn't a guy who's been in politics for ten or twenty or thirty years and you know, knew who would work and one role and everything else. So I give him a little bit of a break on on the first
year picks because they were really bad. But I mean they're bringing back like like Jen Saki as the White House Press secretary. This is just a deeply unimpressive person. I'm maybe she's nice, I have nothing against her, never met her, non't know her here. She could be a lovely person in a social setting, but this is somebody, Yeah, you know like just Joe Biden's like gonna be like so good and like he's gonna do all like the good things and like democracy and like freedom sometimes and great.
This is what we've got. This is where we are now, National Guard thousands strong for a photo op and then told go all share one bathroom and one electrical outlet for hours and hours and hours. Go sleep on the concrete. They're not in Baghdad, they're not taking enemy fire. Okay, They're here in the United States Capital on inauguration Day. I think we all recognize we could have done a whole lot better here. But Biden's people are in charge.
Now this is what you get. I know you're not surprised. I'm not surprised either. This is the Buck Sexton Shoe Podcast. Follow Buck on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Speaking of Jensaki, who is the now White House Press Secretary, I guess she was State Department spokesman before something like that. Spokesperson of course. Sorry, Sorry, my pronouns are you know what my pronouns are? How about that as an answer, my pronouns are. I don't get to choose because it is
a fact of biological reality. You know, they've changed that now. I mean I was, I was even joking around about this in the last few weeks, and sure enough they have Actually, the White House has changed this on forms now, so you can put your your preferred pronouns. But my pronouns are a fact of biological reality. So I don't have to tell you what they are. You know what they are. And yet we have Jensaki. Jensaki now is
the White House Press Secretarian. You no doubt have picked up on the fact that the the Biden administration is very devout. They're very devout adherents of the mask religion right now. The mask religion is rooted in some basic physiological and scientific fact. Of course, a covering will prevent some degree of spittle and you know, aerosolized exhalation moisture
from spreading out more to the room. What does this do for the actual transmission of a virus that is so much smaller than the actual mesh and the mask and the moment that you're not wearing the mask doesn't even really matter, have you anyway? There's but that's Those are the questions that if we were actually talking about science, people could ask. You can't ask those questions anymore. You can't ask those questions. But the masking religion is very,
very powerful. It's all about repeating the mantra and shaming anybody who does not adhere to it, even though there are some points where you'd have to say, there's no justifying there's no reason to believe that this is a serious that this is based in serious scientific fact. For example, around the issue of you know, masking up between bites in a restaurant, right, how is that? How is that
going to help anybody? Well, it doesn't. But that's part of the mask religion, and you're not allowed a question. A question there is in a very you know, very real way. Here a moment in which we saw a Jen Saki asked a question. It's actually more than a moment's a little bit long. I wanted to hear this though, because on Inauguration night, but you know, Biden had signed a federal order saying that you have to mask on all federal property. That's now the new that's now the
new standard. You got a mask because because that's really going to bring down the virus. I mean, this whole it's all for show. But anyway, I remember when I was in the White House in May. Everybody was wearing masks. Okay, I was at the White House in May. Everybody was wearing masks. Jen Saki was asked though, because the Biden family and he's got some granddaughters, and look they look like nice, nice young ladies, and you know, the whole
thing's fine. You know, unlike Libs, I'm not a psycho, so I don't unnecessarily and without any provocation or rationale, trash third parties, family members, kids. We're gonna do that, you know, We're gonna see now with with Biden and power, one thing we will do is prove that we're not the same kind of lunatic savages that the Democrat media are, who just go after anybody. They go. They went after Baron Trump, they went after Melany, They go after everybody.
And Baron was like ten years old when Trump started his time in office. But so, but Biden's grandkids are there and they're taking photos and guess what, they're all together, they're all hugging and they don't have masks on. Oh I'm sorry, I thought that this was like a crime against humanity. Well turns out Jen Saki's got a different version. Play fourteen, why we're a president Biden and all members of the Biden's family masks at all times on federal lands.
Last night, if he signed and they say you order that Mandy's masks on federal lands at all lives at the inaugirls, I think he was celebrating an evening of Doric Day in our country, and certainly he signed the mask mandate because it's a way to send a message to the American public about the importance of wearing masks. How can save tens of thousands of lives. We take a number of COVID precautions as you know here in terms of testing social distancing mask wearing ourselves as we
do every single day. But I don't know that I have more for you on it than that. But Jolanten talks about it is not just important example of power, but the power of our example. Was that a good example for people who are watching my hate hashing normally? Well, Steve, I think the power of his example is also the message he sends by signing twenty five executive orders, including almost half of them related to COVID. The requirements that we're all under every single day here to ensure we're
sending that message to the public. Yesterday was a historic moment our history. He was inaugurated as President of the United States. He was surrounded by his family. We take a number of precautions, but I don't think I think we have big, bigger issues to worry about at this moment in time. It was a historic moment. Excuse me, excuse me, it was a historic no no hold on the virus is like totally not like so dangerous when
it's a historic moment. Jen is like so upset about this, Like why does she I just don't understand, Like I don't get it. Historic moment, your new White House Press secretary.

Oh my gosh, Like I am not on with John Sack, Like she's a new White House Press secretary and we're gonna start having a lot of Jen Sack time here because it's time for you to thaky to me. Yeah. She did get asked another question that she didn't have a particularly a particularly strong response to. It had to do with the fact that Joe Biden, for all the talk of he's a mode, remember he's a Democrat now. And there are certain certain guide certain
pieces of ideology of legislation. There's a framework you must operate within. There are lines you cannot cross as a Democrat. Now, not really ethical lines, that's always I mean, what the party dictates, kind of like if you were dealing with the Soviet polite borow. Whatever the party says, you must obey. And there are some areas where they have been very clear on what the party wants, what the party demands, which brings me to the High Amendment. Now, this says
that you can't have funding for internet. Essentially, you can't fund abortion around the world with US taxpayer dollars. So you can't fund programs, you can't give give financial assistance to programs that are around the world that are that are promoting abortion or that are conducting abortion procedures. And it's called the High Amendment. It's been around for a
long time. Joe Biden's got getting rid of the High Amendment. Now, this used to be considered a third rail in politics, meaning that Democrats this was one very small area of abortion politics that Democrats admitted it seemed a little too extreme. So this was a This was a concession, which very rare when it comes to anything having to do with abortion. This was a concession that they that the Democrats had
been willing to make for some time. But as we know, with Democrats, it's always it's like establishing a cease fire with a hostile and power mad enemy. Right, they will just decide at some point, oh, now we can get what we want. I mean, I saw a fascinating, a fascinating exchange today on Twitter where some Blue check liberal was guys, just so you know, if if the Democrats get rid of the filibuster, it's only because the Republicans
would have done it at some point anyway. Oh, that's really interesting logic, considering Republicans have been in the majority and had power for four years with Donald Trump, the alleged you know, authoritarian dictator, and that never happened. Somehow, that never happened, but we're supposed to believe, Oh no, it would totally happen. So now we're gonna do it.
That was the justification. You know, this is oh gosh, it reminds me of that most humiliating moment that those of you who have siblings, particularly if you're you know, you got a brother, and you're you know, you're a guy, you got a brother is It's one thing when they would, you know, punch you in the arm or give you
a you know, a wedgie or something. It's another thing when they're when your brother was was old enough than you and older enough than wrong enough that he'd hit you in the face with your own hands a little bit and tell you to stop hitting yourself. That's that's really what democrats like to do. We're gonna we're gonna get rid of the filibuster and it's your fault because you would have done it if we didn't do it. What how do How does that make any Stop hitting yourself?
Stop hitting yourself. That's what they're doing. Some of you know exactly. Some of you know exactly what I'm talking about. And if you have kids, you you might have seen the older boy of two of your sons. That's the ultimate that's the ultimate sibling humiliation is when the older brother smacks the younger brother in the face with his own hands. Stop hitting yourself. But Jen Saki is going to have to defend a lot of this Joe Biden stuff. There's no way around it. And they like to tell
us that he's a moderate. He's got that big grin and those super whitened teeth and the whole thing. And ultimately he's still a Democrat, which means that on the issue of abortion, he is a de facto extremist because the Democrat Party has taken an absolutist position on abortion. That is, it is a special right in that there can be no First of all, it's a right that doesn't exist in the Constitution. Put aside for a second
that it's evil in immoral. It's a right that doesn't exist in the Constitution that they created in the constitution, and then it's somehow the only constitutional right even though it's not in the Constitution in any way, shape or form, that can have no restrictions or limitations on it whatsoever. Speech limitations, right to bear arms, limitations, right all all kinds of stuff, limitations abortion anytime you want, anywhere you want. And now federal funding for it, so now you have
to pay for it. Now you're essentially being made to be complicit in this. And Jensaki has asked this question and I just I just have to laugh about this one, although it's not I mean, obviously it's a horrific issue. It's not funny at all. But I have to have at Jensaki, who we're gonna look, We're gonna have a lot of a lot of Saki time over the next couple of years at least, so get ready for it.
But here she is. When I asked about the High Amendment and the Mexico City question, play it two big concerns for life, the Mariage, the High Amendment, which of course he keeps tax player dollars you know, paying for abortions, medicated abortions, and the Mexico City policy, which another previous administration wouldn't have expanded to keep tax dollars some overseas paying for abortions. So what are presidents what does President
bid him plenty on doing? And those two items right now? Well, I think we'll have more to say on the Mexico City policy in the coming days, but I will just take the opportunity to remind all of you that he is a devout Catholic and somebody who attends church regularly. He started his day attending church with his family this morning. But I don't have anything more for you. Let me I think I might. I might have gotten through together
the high Mexico City policy. So just for clarity, high Amendment is about domestic funding of abortion with taxpayer dollars, and which is really going on anyway though, because Plan Parenthood gets money and funds or fungible as you know. But anyway, and then the Mexico City policy has to do with the donations to anything that provides abortion abroad. So for point of clarity there, but notice that she
goes Joe Biden is Joe Biden's a devout Catholic. Well, that's interesting because the Catholic Church give it credit, and you know I'm a Catholic. A Catholic Church is sound on the and clear on this issue. Abortion is wrong. Abortion is a grave sin. Abortion is the taking of a human life. You cannot do this. This is bad, this is evil, And yet Joe Biden is a public official.
Even worse. We are all we are all sinners. We know that right, We all sin We all commit offenses against God and in a sense, against ourselves every time we fail to live up to who we are and our own and our standards. Of ethics, morals, and decency. But it's another thing when you're a person in a tremendously powerful and influential position who is effectively pushing for
everyone else to sin. That's even worse. Pushing for everyone that's not just Joe Biden, you know who might on a personal level, or you know, push somebody that he knows to do this or something like that. This is everybody should do this. This is better for everybody. And he's got power. It's not even just that he has an opinions. She brings up that Joe Biden is a devout Catholic. And I tell you right now there's a problem for the Catholic Church. They should deny Joe Biden
communion full stop. They should deny Nancy Pelosi communion. There's no question here that they are in violation of a core Catholic belief from the church. And there's there's no wiggle room on this one. And they're public officials and they advocate for this. They should not be active participants in celebrating the Eucharist. Then they should not be a
Catholic mass, or at least not receiving the sacrament. I should say of communion, a Catholic mass, Joe Biden should be cast out until he amends his ways, until he so you can talk about being a devout Catholic. That's not a Oh I go to church, so you know I could be like a mass murdering Michael Path who wants abortion all over the world. No, that's not how
it works. But it was an early reminder no matter what religion you are, it's an early reminder of Joe Biden is just a flimsy fraud God doesn't really stand for anything except getting Joe Biden elected and then being an instrument for the desires of the Democrat Party because that's his team, that's who puts him in power. It's tough to know even what he believes. Does he really believe in anything or is it all just a jumble of speeches in his head, including speeches that he just
asked Neil Kinnock plagiarizes from people. I'm just wondering what does Joe Biden really believe? What's Joe Biden really all about? I don't even think Joe Biden knows you're in the Freedom Hunt. Thanks for listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Get the latest from Buck at buck Sexton dot com. I think more and more Republicans. I'll be surprised if we don't have nearly near a unanimous belief that impeaching the president after the leave office is unconstitutional on the
Republican side. Now, I think we'll pick up at least one Democrat, maybe more so, Tony. I don't want to tell you viewers that people listen to your program the Senate. McConnell's come up with a plan that I think is good for the country, good for the Senate, fair to the president. The president has a very good legal team, a great legal team, and we're going to fight like hell to make sure that the second impeachment of Donald Trump ends as quickly as possible, either dismissed or with
an overwhelming vote for acquittal. They better dismissed her vote for acquittal. What what lunacy? I mean? I know Mitch McConnell is a he's an institutionalist. He's a guy who I know very much believes that the Senate is a sacred institution, and he has been a high priest of that of the Church of the Senate, if you will, for a long time. But getting rid of Donald Trump after Trump has already left office is just insane. I mean, I know why Democrats want to do it, and mind you,
it's it's a real combination. I mean, you can make the case that it's all about the humiliation of Trump and the humiliation of Trump voters. That's true. But beyond that, you could make a case that it's because they're worried that Trump could come back and win. And I think that's real. I think that's true. I mean I believe that Donald Trump, depending on how the next four years go and how he positions himself. And also, look, we
got to see how this Biden administration does. You know, friends, if the Biden administration presides over a booming economy, no new wars, and it doesn't just do anything disastrous, well I'll still be fighting with them on things like changing the pronouns or changing the section about you know, choosing your pronouns on all White House forms. But you know, overall, I'm not going to tell you it's a disaster if
it's not. Unfortunately, I think it's going to be a disaster. Democrats, they they pulled this whole thing, it's all, it's all just built on this rickety foundation of this almost eighty year old guy who is a mediocrity at best. That no one's inspired by that, No one's But it was we can use all of the apparatus, sees, we could use all of the medium, muscle, everything, we've got to push this guy through. That's what it was. That was the whole point, right, we can make this guy president
and beat Trump. That was the only calculation. Nobody sat around saying, yeah, you know, it would be really great. You know, it'd really be a game changer. Or Joe Biden presidency, that would be really great. No one, I don't think Joe Biden thinks that. Oh maybe now, now the Biden name, the guy's a president. Think of all the portraits and the big photos and the presidential library, and you know, the Biden kids are gonna be and grandkids are gonna be finding out on this one for
the rest of their lives. Right, so they're all good to go. Now, Biden's already rich, isn't that interesting? He's rich? But how no one's allowed to ask those questions. He's about to get a whole lot richer, the whole family,
the whole name, the brand. So getting rid of Trump, though after the fact, it would be if the GOP does that, I mean, if GOP senators do that, I worry that there will just be a kind of there'll be a nullification of the party from the base where they'll just say, we're done, We're sitting this one out. Let's just let the Democrats run the whole thing because
we don't even we don't even care, you know. Just batten down the hatches, hold your loved ones close, think about moving to uh, you know, New Zealand or something. Although they're really strict in the COVID stuff, so that's not where I would go. I'd go somewhere with a
little more spice. Um. But I'm just saying that there there's the the implosion of the GOP that would occur if they were to take this action against Trump is so obvious, and anybody who doesn't see it that way doesn't have the interest of Republicans and conservatives and the Constitution and the rule of law in their minds. I
think it's very straightforward. And then there's also the other people who are still in office who are getting all this pressure and have all these these members of not just the media, but of Congress who are calling for their ouster. AOC said this about her congressional colleagues. They're in the Senate, she's in the House. But congressional colleagues
Ted Cruz and Josh Holley play too well. You know, I think that the moment we get to a point where we are delaying, where we are almost where that delay is coming from us, and where that delay is really starting to get in the way of justice, then we need to really start figuring out what in fact is going on. However, hey, if they want to delay it, let's bring up a vote to expel Ted Cruise and
Josh Holly from the Senate. Think got time on our hands, and we should be actually bringing justice to the members of Congress and the members of the Senate who also help support this insurrection, think, let's not they absolutely, if they don't resign, they should be excelled. Serial chance nobody resigns, then then we should hold the vote. AOC, assuming she's put down the wine coolers for this interview, is saying that they should chick out Josh Holly and Ted Cruise. Okay, okay,
why what exactly did they do? They wanted to have a commission to present the evidence about allegations of voter fraud. That would have been a good idea. At least it would be worthwhile for the Congress to have the presentations. Put her all out there, let's see it in a place where it could be resented a matter of legal record, have the public see, have the exchange about what's true
what's not. I still get people sending me thinks. Sometimes I get stuff sent to me from listeners across the country and they say, well, what about what about this? And I say, look, I've seen the data on this one. It turns out that that allegation was not true. There were some fraud allegations that were not true. But there are other ones where they send it to me and I say, I agree, we don't know. We don't have the answers to this. How did this happen? What? Why?
Why does it seem like there was an over vote, or why does it seem like they didn't check the signature match properly or at any number of things. But even for using even for having the temerity according to AOC, do you think she knows the word temerity means maybe fifty fifty Even for having the temerity to push to use the system within this system, but it was still for the overall cause of exposing fraud, Ted Cruise and Josh Holly, two US senators, must be expelled, must be removed.
We are told this is crazy, but this is the way it is right now. This is where we are. This is how they're going to continue to do things. They want payback, they want to punish their political enemies. AOC at the at the front of a line. Really, she's really hoping to accomplish that. So we'll just sort of continue to see if they're able to get their way here by expelling Trump after the fact. That's crazy. But obviously they're not going to get rid of Cruizer Holly.
But the fact that they're even trying shows you what they're really all about. You're listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Make sure you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts. A little bit abou about how you feel kind of released from from what you had been doing for the last year. Yeah, but you said I was joking about it. I was
very serious about it. I wasn't joking, you know, Actually, I mean, I mean Obviously I don't want to be going back, you know, over history, but it was very clear that there were things that were said, be it regarding things like hydroxy chloroquine and other things like that that really was an uncomfortable because they were not based on scientific fact. I can tell you I take no pleasure at all in being in a situation of contradicting
the precedent. So it was really something that you didn't feel that you could actually say something and there wouldn't be any repercussions about it. The idea that you can get up here and talk about what you know, what the evidence, what the science is, and no, that's it. Let the science speak. It is somewhat of a liberating feeling. You basically vanished for a few months there for a while. You feel now, I think so doctor Fouch, Hey, Harry is doing a little victory dance. Do a little dance,
give a little fouch. Mask up tonight, Yeah, mask up tonight, Doctor Fouci, do it. His take. I can't believe that we have this, this smug bureaucrat that we have to deal with again. We have to deal with more of this guy. I'm I'm sitting here and I am flabbergasted. I mean, this is really, this is really where we are, This is really what we've got. Gotta have doctor Fouci telling us all the things? Does this thing? Does anyone think this is gonna make a situation better? Now we're
gonna have him. What do you think he's going to tell people that they don't This is only my big question. What do you think he's gonna tell people that they don't all ready? No, really curious about this? What is he gonna tell people that I don't already know? I just have to say, we've heard this stuff a million times from this guy. Gotta wash your hands. You got a social distance. You know the data. I listen to
the science. This notion that they have clear, provable, demonstrable scientific conclusions about this virus and about things about it that there's real debate about. Um, it's just nonsense. There's so much that they don't know. He acts like there's this thing called there. There's this book that has pages in it and it's just called science, and everything in that book is true, and anyone who questions it doesn't
know what they're talking about. And this is why. One of the reasons why I get so angry about the whole social media thing, because what we see is that with social media, they ban people based on what the consensus opinion is at any point in time on things
that have to do with public policy. Now we're not talking about, you know, threats of violence, We're not talking about anything like that, on things that are supposed to be or that should be open to debate and discussion if the consensus at one point and remember there is no such thing as a pure scientific consensus on so many of these questions. Here's an example. I take people
through this process. I do this all the time that they'll say, oh, but you don't believe this or you don't believe that, And I say, okay, well, hold on a second, it's about science, right, How effective or masks? I'll ask that question and don't say very or kind of or perfect or anything like that. Perfectly how effective
or masks? And I never get it. I said, well that's not I mean, it's not science to say I think they work really well, but you know, we don't know, right, Okay, Now remember people would say, well they wear them at a clinical setting. Everything go, well, yeah, there's a whole bunch we all know that there's spittle that can come out of people's mouths if you're up close to somebody in a hospital setting. You know, in a clinical setting, you you want to prevent just the additional exchange of
germs in that limited space. And they also change the masks, and they wear them the whole time, and they have training and what to do, and they're also wearing N ninety five masks if they're so all of that is going into this. But when I just asked a question, they say it's a matter of science, and I say, okay, show me the data. You know what they do They show you, oh, well, this is what we ran some experiment where we did this thing, and we think it
kind of mimics the situation. It's the same thing with treating models, as though it's science. Models are a projection based upon data. They can be pretty accurate, very accurate, or not accurate at all. They can be completely wrong and you don't know because it's a projection about the future. This is the same problem we run into with climate
change stuff. All of our decision making around climate change is based on the faulty Yes, there's this, I understand the theory about co two in the air creating a warming effect. Although now they say it's climate change, but I think they're going back to it's warming, but maybe it'll just be climate change again. But it's all based on models. And ask anybody who relies on models to predict the stock market or even an individual stock And that's where people have a lot of resources to put
into it, and being right matters. They still get it wrong. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. That's not science, that's prediction. Prediction is not science. And that's why when they say things like listen, are the science if you wear masks, they'll say, fifty thousand lives according to experts. Really, how can we ever check that, How could we ever say, you know what, it turns out those guys were wrong. You can't. You're not gonna save You're not gonna save
fifty thousand lives. You only saved, you know, five hundred lives or five thousand lives or maybe whatever it may. It doesn't. The point is, this is just a statistic they're throwing out there. They're saying it would something would happen unless you do what we tell you to do now, and then you'll never know if that thing even happened or not right, you can you can't. You're trying to prove something that can't really be proven. But that's what
they offer you, a science and data. This is why they're so insistent, this is why they're sore, they're so devoted to this. Just it just drives me nuts. I see they're just they're saying things that are wrong. They're making assertions that and I'm not saying that I understand the science or have some scignedific I don't have to. It's about argument, it's about fallacy, reason, logic. Those are
the things that I'm applying here. I don't pretend another signs there is the same reason why I tell people that, based on the data you've seen, if you're at a high risk, I think the vaccine is probably a very good idea. My own loved ones and family members, I advocate for them to get the vaccine who are at risk. But do I think that, you know, young people who had very low risk should get it. I think it's up to them, right, And when I say young, I
mean I'm talking about under under sixty. So doctor Fauci though here with his big grin and his you know, yeah, now I'm all good that the oh god, the hydroxy chloric would in the whole thing. I mean, okay, there was there was a time when people were thinking that maybe hydroxy chloricum would provide some degree of protection against this, and and it turned out that we weren't actually really able to do. I mean, I haven't seen any clinical
trials or studies of this. Some places initially were producing data saying they thought that it worked. Other places were producing data saying it didn't work at all. But then there was it became a political issue because Trump talked about it. It shouldn't be political at all. It should be very straightforward. They should have just run a control a controlled trial, give you know, give a thousand people.
You know, because you take hydroxy chloricin for malaria overseas, but it's very common use as people take it for a for a lupus, I think for rheumatoid arthritis as well. They should have run an actual trial, actual science, and then prove it and that would have been it. But instead it became a political issue. Instead it became oh Trump said it, so it must be it must be wrong, and him saying that he can speak without fear of repercussions. Yeah,
that's a lie too, Fouch. Why doesn't he go on tea and say there is no there is no strong evidence to indicate that you should we should wear a mask outside in fresh air if you're not in a crowd. Why can't you just say that? Does anybody want to try to prove that that's an incorrect statement? I would
love to see that data. The biggest transmission studies they've done on outdoor transmission show you know, maybe maybe one in four thousand cases I think was what China showed, or one in four hundred cases might involve outdoor transmission. Maybe so, But so we have to mask up because it's outside. You know, at what point is it unreasonable to ask this? People mask up alone in their cars, They're being told in some places to mask up when they're at home in their own homes. When does it
become unreasonable? Let's establish that what that line and the people that are telling you to worry so much about this is. We remember just from from before we're in the show with Jensaki answering the question about Joe Biden and his family. The people who are telling you to be the most concerned about this are people who, let's be real, they don't care that much when you're not looking, well, you're not paying attention. They think that they should be
able to get away with not asking. They think that they should be in a position to, you know, not have to worry about it. And you say, well, hold on, I thought this was about the science and saving us and doing all this stuff. Nah, turns out that's that's not the case. Well, I mean they'll say that. I mean, they might feel that way, but for as individuals, they have a very a very different view of all of this.
So oh, and then there's there's something else that I wanted to wanted to talk to you about with with Fauci. The Democrats are telling a great, big fat lie about vaccination programs right now around COVID nineteen, and we should address that lie. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Follow Buck on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. We certainly are not starting from scratch, because there is activity going on
in the distribution. But if you look at the plan that the President has put forth about the things that he is going to do, namely, get community vaccine centers up, get pharmacies more involved where appropriate, get the defense production act involved not only perhaps with getting more vaccine, but even the things you need to get a good vaccine program, for example, needles and syringes that might be more useful
in that. So it's taking what's going on but amplifying it in a big way and center What was much was essentially is there anything actionable that you are taking from the previous administration? Well, your efforts to get the vaccine? I mean that's the question. Though. We're coming in with fresh ideas, but also some ideas that were not bad ideas with the with the with the previous administration, you
can't say it was absolutely not usable at all. So we are continuing, but you're going to see a real ramping up the bit. No good deed goes unpunished. Look at the way and this was this was completely predictable, and I and many others predicted this. I'm sure you did too. That the miracle of the Operation Warp Speed program that helped to push Big Pharma to use their research capabilities to create a vaccine in truly world record time. That mirror that's now forgotten. No one even talks about
the miracle of Operation Warp Speed. They won't even refer to that. No, Instead you have Democrat the media immediately pushing this lie that there was no vaccination program at Trump It was all in disarray. They didn't think this through, there was no strategy. Meanwhile, if you actually, as I have, have been following what's gone on with the COVID nineteen vaccination across the country, you know what you find out States and cities are completely screwing this up and not
able to get into people's arms fast enough. Some states are better than others. You'd much rather be a resident of Florida trying to get this than a resident of New York, tell you that much. You'd much rather, by the numbers, be a resident of West Virginia than a resident of New Jersey. You see how this has been rolled out and where it has been effective. It is the federal government gave the vaccine to the states. The states because they have the same way the states have
police power. States have a lot of health regulatory and enforcement power, as you know. That's why they're shutting down all the businesses and telling everybody that you're not allowed to do anything anymore because of you know, this aerosolis virus that we're all supposed to live in constant terror of Yeah, the States messed this thing up, but they blamed Trump, they blamed Trump. But now it's even Fauci knows that this is an indefence, it's an indefensibly obvious
lie that that's the real problem with it. It is a clear lie to say that there was no plan here, right, It could not be more obvious when you say that, because we've already been distributing about a million vaccinations a day in this country, roughly a million. Do you know what the Biden plan for a hundred days of Renewal of America, whatever the slogan is today, they want to get to one hundred million vaccinations. Well, guess what, We're
already at a million vaccinations a day. So the Biden plan is essentially an admission that the fastest they're going to get this thing rolled out is about as fast as it's already going. Are you gonna hear the media say that anywhere you're gonna you're gonna hear that. No, no you're not. Instead, they take it in in the opposite direction and they tell you the great big lie, which is what it is, that there was no vaccination plan from the Trump administration. Just not true. Just I mean,
flatly obviously not true. But remember you're still gonna have You're gonna have Biden out there telling everybody that that this is all that's their favorite thing. It's a patriotic act. Now play fifteen. The brutal truth is it's going to take months before we can get the majority of America is vaccinating. So while we increase vaccinations, we're going to take steps necessary now to slow the spread of the
disease as well. One of our one hundred day challenges is asking the American people to mask up for the first one hundred days. The next ninety nine days to mask can become a partisan issue on forceline, but it's a patriotic act. But for a few months, to wear a mask, no vaccines. The fact is that the single best thing we can do. They're even more important than
the vaccines because they take time to work. And if we do this as Americans, the experts say by wearing a mask from now until April, we'd save more than fifty thousand lives going forward, fifty thousand lives. And people who believe this just honestly at this point aren't able to think for themselves. I mean, would this projection fifty thous look at the IHM models over time and see what their projections have been and how wildly off they've been.
Those supposed to be the gold standard of modeling this virus for hospitalizations and fatalities off by huge numbers all along, and it over short, short timeframes. Does Joe Biden not know that we've been in lockdowns and wearing masks four months? Is he unaware of this? Are these idiots that keep saying this? They do they really think that we're not You know, you got all the major metropolitan areas of
the country masked up, all of them. California's have had an all time high of cases and hospitalizations, been through its worst ever wave, and they were like mask masking Central for months and months. They were patting themselves on the back of the summer. Look see we're not like those dumb Republicans and Trump voters. We mask up. Yeah, how's that going in California? We're already doing this thing
they're telling us to do. But they have this this fixation, this obsession, was just repeating it like that's some great strategy. This is the Bucks Exton Show podcast. Join the conversation and message buck on Facebook, Instagram or email team Bucket iHeartMedia dot com. He may read it on the show Wealth tex A two cent tax on the top one tenth of one percent in this country. And I'll tell you why. It's not only about putting just a modest tax on these giant fortunes. It's about the revenue that
produces then to build opportunity throughout our economy. A wealth tax. He knew that there were some things that we could all see coming. There were some things that you know, we knew we're likely to happen here, and that's if a Democrat one, which we know now that's we got
Joe Biden as president. And here's one of a wealth tax. Now, I'm not going to cry any any tears for the whatever she said, one tenth of one percent tour the one one hundredth of one percent paying higher taxes, but just to remember that the way that they do this is they start with that and then it's going to expand that's the problem. Then they're going to take more
of your money. And Republicans are on very shaky ground here because and if you've been a listener of this show, for a few years now, you know, I would sometimes do these little segments that say, hey, guys, do we want to talk about the national debt right now? Do we want to have that discussion? I don't think so, but I'm just telling you right now, basically, at twenty seven point eight trillion dollars US national debt twenty seven point eight trilli, we're gonna be at thirty trillion national
debt here pretty soon. That seems like a lot of money to me. I don't know, I mean, and call me crazy. Nobody wanted to hear it. We have now entered a political reality, and an evenho tells you otherwise, it's not being straight with you. We've entered a political reality where my team spending money the way it wants to, well, beyond what we're taking in in taxes in any given year. My team doing that is good. The other team doing
that is bad. Now, that may be true in a very general sense, right, we might spend money better and
more more efficiently than the Democrats do. Right. That may be the case, But we also then don't have some ground to We don't have the ground to stand on to say, well, in general, spending beyond your means as a government is a bad idea or spending beyond what you take in, and that the debt is a long term problem for our country and for where we're going, right, That's that's a very hard argument for us to make these days, very hard because look at what we've done,
look at the reality of what we have been doing. We've been spending too much money. And now the Democrats are gonna do They're gonna blow the hinges off the door of spending. Man, They're gonna raise the roof and party it up. Spending, spending, spending. We all understand that this then creates additional drag on the economy because you have to service the debt that you're running, and debt service crowds out other private spending. You know this, This
starts to slow down our economy. Look at what happens in European countries when the debt becomes too big as a share of GDP. This is not good. But it's wa wa wa wa wamwam. It's Charlie Brown mom stuff right. Nobody wants to hear it. Oh yeah, whatever, I'm not spending too much in the debt. Haven't come out thirty trillion potato potato. That's kind of the attitude. And that's why the Elizabeth Warren progressive wing of the Democrat Party is gonna come along and they're gonna they're gonna rinse
the rich. That's gonna be the idea. I just hope that if they do this, they really go after actual rich people. Know they have your actual rich people. What I hate is when they say the rich have to pay more, and then you figure out, we'll hold on a second. You know, if you got a state trooper and uh, you know, and and a senior nurse practitioner,
you know, we're married, living together. You know, household income state trooper with OT, I know it varies a lot state to state, but in like New York, state nurse practitioner is gonna make close to six figures. A state trooper with some OT probably make about one twenty one thirty. So when they say, oh, if you make over, if you have a household income of two hundred grand, let's say, oh you're rich. You're not rich. Okay, I mean you're doing well and you know, life is life is pretty good,
but you're not rich. Oh, if you make more than two hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year. You're you got to you gotta tax the you know what out of you that's you're not rich. You want to go
after the bezosis. But the problem is they always set this stuff up and then what you find out is that they're actually they know, the real money, the real you know, the real squeeze for the juice is in the much larger bulge of people that are making you know, one hundred grand, one hundred and fifty grand all across. You don't want to take money, take a lot of money at it from them. There's so many more of them, so that the impetus is always to just raise taxes
more broadly than they say they're going to. And by starting with a wealth tax, this creates all kinds of there's all kinds of implementation problems for this too. Okay, what if somebody's wealth is, you know, an overwhelming portion of their wealth is wrapped up in a private leone corporation. Now do they have to sell stock to pay the government? Is that is that the way they're going to do this? You have you have liquidity issues that come up here. Well,
if they give an assessment of your worth. Is that really what you're worth? I mean, we're talking about the kind of if you're talking about ultra wealthy people. It's not as simple as you know, there's a billion dollars sitting in a bank account. Let's just take two percent out of that as a little you know, thank you uncle Sam tip. So how do they do it? It's not a straightforward and they've done this. I would just note they've done this in Europe. They have done a
wealth ax in Europe. And it never works out the way that they think it will. People evade it, they leave, they flee, and they it never gets the amount of revenue they think it will. People hide their assets, or they move their assets, or they're wealthy because they have the both the resources to be creative about getting around this and a high level of motivation to get around this. They do. I'll never forget Girard deep out You. Girard producer Mark, have you ever seen a Girard deep out
You movie? No? So he's like very French in case you didn't pick up on that, And he he was. He was in my daughter's wedding. I think he's called he Many. He was a big French Acte in the nineties and the eighties. He's very, very rich guy in France. And I think he got Russian citizenship when they passed the wealth tax, if I remember correctly, because the Russians have a flat tax. So he's like, Okay, this was fun. I'm not going to be a Russian citizen. See you
guys later. And he probably lives in Monaco for you know, half the year or something. Right, But this is what people do. They say, all right, bad enough, thanks a lot, see you later, so they don't end up paying the way they say they're gonna pay. And now, and now I got another topic I gotta get to here, the minimum wage. Joe Biden as part of those they're pushing for a fifteen dollar minimum wage. And this is always this debate always turns into the elevation of emotion and
feeling over fact. That's what ends up happening here. This turns into I am somebody who have I've been underpaid in jobs. I've certainly been underappreciated in jobs. I've done menial tasks for small amounts of money, you know, just trying to scrape together stuff so that I can pay my bills. I know, what that's like. And I'm also somebody who I really believe strongly in tipping well and and appreciating, appreciating people for doing a job with you know,
with integrity and professionalism. Whether it's you know, washing dishes in the back of the Chinese restaurant, or it's you name it right, or it's the guy that's bringing you your ups package, whatever it is. I want people to get a good wage for good work always. And and that's that's a really that's a deep seated feeling, right I know. And I'm sure you feel the same way, you know, And and I really appreciate when people do a job with pride better than they have to for
the job to just get done. You know. This is why you really appreciate when you when you go into a store and and somebody you know, welcomes you, offers to help you, makes you you know, doesn't doesn't pressure you, makes you feel at a home there. Please come back if you don't see anything you like today, really, you know, great to have you come in. You know they don't have they can sit there, Yeah, buy whatever you want, right.
I don't know why the fauci is the store clerk all of a sudden, But so I get the I get the impulse for this. We and we've I'm sure those of you listening, all of you have probably had some job where you go, this stinks, and you know you make producer. Mark, You told me you scooped ice cream once, right, Yes they did. Yeah, you're an ice cream scooper, you know. I remember my mom and her sister, my aunt telling me that they did that at one point or over the summer and that that's actually pretty
labor intensive. Yeah, it's a lot more physical work than you would expect. Yeah, was what was your hardest What would you say, is that your lowest pay, highest output job you've had? That was definitely that, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. I worked as a counselor in training over the summer because I was technically one year below the age to be an actual paid counselor. And this was such a scam, but it was great. It was like having interns at a summer camp, and I did the
whole the whole summer. I spent in the hot sun pulling around like all the equipment for the campers. Like I actually was carrying big bags of you know, baseball bats and and you know, the stuff to make the soccer nets with. And I was making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches by the hundreds and hundreds. I mean I was there with little gloves on making peanut butter and jelly. I got paid for that eight weeks of work. I think I got a check for two hundred and fifty dollars.
And so, I mean, I'm sure that that violates some kind of labor law. I didn't know anybody. I was like fourteen or fifteen. I think you had to be sixteen to be a counselor sure that it violated. Later, the worst job I've ever had by far, by far at a camp in Westchester in New York and New York State, and I was making oh my gosh, making those I remember, I just remember this. That's I hate
peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I'm pretty sure as a result, even with gluten free bread, I like jelly, and I like peanut butter, but I hate peanut butter and jelly sandwiches because I just always go back to being in this this cold, dark food storage basement just making like two hundred peb and j's, you know, and I'll say tuna fish too. Another. I used to love tuna fish as a kid, tuna fish sandwiches, and to make tuna sandwiches, and oh, when you've made enough tunas, I just can't
even I can't even do it. I can't even do it. I think if I were starving on a desert island and someone handed me at peanut butter and jelly sandwich, I'd hand it back to them and say, I just I'm sorry. So anyway, that was the worst job I ever had, because I was working hard, unappreciated, treated poorly, and and you're asking Buck, why did you do this? I didn't end up even going back to me. I hated it so much I didn't even The whole point is you did this because it was very competitive to
get a counselor job. You kind of had to like, know somebody. The counselor's made, you know, three or four hundred bucks a week and you get to just take the kids out to play soccer, or is summer camp and it's a day camp. So that I wanted to do that, but I figured, oh, I I'll be a counselor in training. Worst job I've ever had. Worst summer maybe of my life anyway, but that was so I know what it is to do things that say I'm not really making any money, and the whole thing, the
whole thing sucked. So I want people to make more money. Let me come back and tell you in a second here why the fifteen dollars minimum wage isn't what they're telling you it's going to be. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Follow Buck on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Fifteen dollars minimum wage. Okay, that's that's where we are here. And you know, Biden's executive order take steps to require federal contractors to pay fifteen dollars minimum wage, and he
want they want this nationwide. They want to go to the full fifteen dollar minum, which, okay, let's talk about this. The current minimum wage is seven dollars and I'm sorry it's there. It's state by state. The federal minimum wage is seven dollars and twenty five cents. Almost no state right now has that as their minimum. So, so just understand that the debate is already skewed by the fact that the federal minimum wage is below what you have
in a lot of places. Okay, in California, it is currently thirteen dollars an hour, Nevada nine dollars an hour, Oregon twelve dollars an hour, Washington thirteen sixty nine, Washington State thirteen sixty nine an hour, New York State twelve fifty an hour, Maine twelve fifteen an hour. Florida, Well, Florida's eight sixty five an Hour's Florida's not quite a sigh. Um. Texas at seven to twenty five federal minimum wage right, Virginia seven twenty five. Um. So that's you know this,
this is it's really a much more complicated issue. But here's here's what ends up happening. Well, we all sit around and I said to you, I really believe very strongly in in people being able to get you know, good pay for good work. I really do. And I've I've been mistreated, underappreciated. I remember I used to tutor kids when I was in high school and something, you know, a couple of times the parents were like, yeah, sorry, I don't have your money today, and I was like, uh, okay,
I mean that's not really nice. So I know what it's like to be in situations where you just feel like what is this all about um? And? And I've worked for the government. I worked the my I did not make very much money at all work with the NYPD because I was actually the The actual cops had better, a much better deal than we did. Because I wasn't part of the union. I was a contractor for the City of New York, which was not good. I had
crap health absolute crap healthcare. I mean, I'd go see doctors who are like, hello, like, does your neck have pain? Perhaps we should do it next day. I'm like, I'm here for you to look at my toe, like what are we what are we doing here? Producer Mark, you realize I went to see doctor Nick. Yes, that's exactly what I thought of when you did that. Yeah, it's like, hello, Buck, we are looking at your neck. To'll do it? Maybe a lawsuit. I'm like, doctor Nick, this is the only
doctor I could come see. It took me a month to get the appointment. That's not good. So anyway, I'm I'm somebody who understands it. The problem here, and I know I'm sort of back back ending all this. The problem is minimum wage at fifteen dollars an hour is gonna cost millions of jobs. There is an actual correlation between the value of labor and what you can pay people. That's why you can't make the minimum wage one hundred
dollars an hour. You can't pay it. And a lot of jobs are gonna go away at a fifteen dollars now minimum wage. All right, a lot of jobs, a lot of hours will be cut back at a fifteen dollars minimum wage, which is that has the same effect for people. So now businesses get less productivity and people get less paid. It's not good. It's not good. So, as I was saying, the states have different minimum wages, a lot of them are already over ten dollars an hour.
So the federal minimum wage is just one of many different ways that this goes into effect. And the laws of supply demand, the law of the or the economic realities of the value of labor do not change. Because people like Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump, you know, wave their hand and say I'm sorry, Donald Trump, Joe Biden Trump did not do this. I wave their hand and say, yeah, the federal minum wage should be higher. That said, it's probably gonna get raised fifteen dollars an
hour folks. You know why, because it feels good. That's what happens. We all say, wow, I want everybody to make at least fifteen dollars an you know what, I do want everyone to do that. But that's not what's going to happen. But because we want that, that's the policy that will end up going through here. I think that's where we're heading. You're listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Make sure you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeart radio app or wherever you get your podcasts.
I think the president is off to a very good stought and what I liked about his inaugural remarks and the general tone of his administration is he recognizes that this country faces a set of unprecedented crises, from the pandemic to the economy, to the very threats against democracy,
to climate change, to income and wealth inequality. I think he understands that, and I think if we can give them the support that he needs in Congress, he can, in fact be an extremely progressive president addressing the crises facing working for your families, he can be a progressive candidate. I think he is going to be. You know, right now, they're just gearing up for all of this, but down the line, I think the plan is going to be for them increasingly to push Biden. I remember, Biden's just
the guy who's going to be signing stuff. The Democrats are the ones that are that are going forward with the legislation. I gotta say, did you, uh bruser Mark, did you see the Bernie Mittens memes? Of course they're everywhere and they are hilarious. They are amazing. I will say it's for some reason, the Bernie with the mascot and the Mittens. Uh. You know, there's there's a lot of them out there. They're they're they're very good. Um. I am enjoying them. He was at the inauguration. For
those of you haven't seen them. He isn't everything. Oh man, there's so many of them all like I can't. It's one of these things where I wish I could. Describing them doesn't really doesn't really get it done. I did like the one though, where somebody put a cheesehead and a Green Bay Packers blanket over him, because it's like our conversation about how you're if you go to a
football game. There's no such thing as enough clothing at a cold football game to keep you warm, you know, but he looked like he was dressed for a football game without any jersey or anything. I mean, there's there's like one I see where he's Bernie Sanders has the mittie. So he's got his knee crossed, his little blue mask on, his sort of ski parket jacket, sitting inauguration. He's got these mittens on his hands. They got one of him
sitting on a ledge next to Deadpool. They have him as brand in Game of Thrones, surrounded by the other Starks. I mean, the Bernie Sanders memes are great, you know. I mean, look the burn. Yeah, he's a socialist and you know what, he ruined the country if he were in charge, probably, But Bernie's mitten's everybody you got it? Are you a mitten guy or a glove guy? Usually a glove guy, but usually nothing. To be honest, I've heard that mittens are actually mittens can be warmer than gloves. Yeah,
that makes sense. That's a thing that people have told me. So I'm gonna say I like it. I like where. I like where the heads that are probably harder to use your hands though, yeah, it is probably harder to use the hands, so um, you know, I'm I'm I'm a glove guy. One trick that I learned is if you have to have dexterity in your fingers. I remember during I was doing long gun training at the CIA, so we had all these different you know, M fours and aks and all kinds of stuff, and my ad
was out. It was all outdoor range stuff and my hands were absolutely freezing and I didn't want to. I didn't have like real shooter gloves or anything, but even just a rubber glove on your hand. Well really, it's true. If you're out fishing and you need the dexterity to go fly fishing too, wear rubber. If you have rubber gloves on your hands, it does take some of the bites, some of the chill out of things. So fun, fun tip, fun fact, but you know what, you know what I
find mark. One of my one of the favorite tips I've giving people in the show is the seasoning and the um and the basting of the burger or sandwich bun with oil, salt and pepper. That's like life changing for people. I keep fighting out. That is a really good tip. I never thought of it. Have you tried it yet I have. It's delicious, It's great. Right there we go another look. Even producer Mark a satisfied customer,
so glad to see that. So Mark, you pulled a you pulled a clip of of Chuck Schumer that I didn't know about this one before the show, but you said that I was gonna like it. So you want to just fire that one off. Make no mistake, there will be a trial, and when that trial ends, senators will have to decide if they believe Donald John Donald John Trump incited the erection insurrection. I like that one. I met Trump like that one too. Did Donald John
Trump incite the erection? Oh? Man? You know that's always with all the live radio and TV and stuthing I do. Man, that's your worst fear is that you just you're just gonna say something, you know, uh, you know that you say something that's just gonna come out the wrong way like that, and there's no you know, there's no there's no taking it back, there's no taking it back. So I can see the clip. You can see on his face he was like, oh no, oh yeah, that did.
That's that's instantaneous virality and vitality. Uh, that's that's definitely woman's gonna get the attention from the folks out there. So, oh, man, Chuck Schumer, I think that you know that I was a little bit worried that I was a little bit worried that at any post Trump era, we're gonna have so much, so much of a of a letdown because politics would be so much more boring. But no, then I remember that the Democrats are are a bunch of bozos, and that means that they're going to do all kinds
of unintentionally funny things. And now we get to focus on I mean, remember, the media has tried to convince you because they didn't want a him to think your cognitive decline and all these other things. The media has been trying to convince you all along here that Joe Biden, or you're supposed to forget that Joe Biden is a
gaff machine. I mean, Joe Biden says stuff that you just think to yourself, I don't even understand how anybody who's supposed to be in public office would say such things shooting, I suffer depressure, ser batic kept current shubberber. You know, thank you, producer Mark on the ball that I gotta say, he's ready, ready to go, ready with those drops. What is your favorite? My favorite? Discover urberfage depressure because he's really you know, he's like really laying
into it. You know, it's just you just had you just had some scrambled eggs upstairs there for a moment and then scrabber. That's the most confident one he's ever been Suffage depressure. Yeah, that's one where you could tell that he'd look at you afterwards and be like, yeah, you know what I just said. That thing that I just said. You're like, oh, okay, buddy, okay, but don't worry.
You're gonna have CNN out there with Donna Bash, Donna Bash telling everybody that the adults are back in the room. Play nine. If you take what you just saw and heard in totality, anybody who has any um connection to reality about what is going on around them should have watched that and said, the adults are back in the room. That is that is what. Uh. The kind of vibe was that President Biden was clearly trying to get out there, and it made it easier because he has a plan.
He has a plan that he and his transition have been working on for a very long time, and it is aided by the fact, as you said, Brooke, that he is very clear it is not going to happen overnight. It is going to get worse before it gets better. It's going to get worse before it gets better. It's another way for the for the Libs, for the Democrats out there to tell everybody that you know, they're what they're What they're really letting you know here is they're
going to move the goalposts a lot. Anything to make Joe Biden, anything to make Joe Biden a well, you know the guy that's the that's the way that it is. Anything to pretend that he's better at this than he actually is. So don't think you're going to get honesty from these Democrats. That's certainly not going to happen. You listening to the Buck Sexton Joe podcast, make sure you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts. Let's hear from a man in DC.
I got a chance to chat with my buddy will Rick Cardella this week, and I want you to hear what he thinks is happening to the Republican Party and just what's going on right now. He's at the Washington Examiner. Will great to have you. Hey, fuck, good to talk to you from military occupied Washington, DC. Yeah, what was it like? I mean, thirty thousand or so troops and it was just another day in the inauguration, wasn't it. Yeah,
it was actually a total joke. It was a stunt to gin up fear and panic, because that's what Democrats have learned. You can control people and you don't have to answer any questions. They did it with COVID when they changed election rules outside the purview of the Constitution, and they're doing it now here in DC to make excuses for stifling speech and to vet military officers to make sure they have fealty to the left and the
Joe Biden ministry. And it's actually that's unprecedented. That's actually norm smashing, but nobody will talk about that. Now. We have this whole stack of executive orders today. I just want to ask you about about a few of them, and you know they go right to you. You got to rejoin the Paris Climate Accord. I can't imagine that more than more than two or three percent of America has has for one moment really been worried about our absence from the Paris Climate Accord. Right, but this was
like this was like top of the list. Will well, of course, I mean, look, you can't come out and say the politician, Look, capitalism isn't working. We need we need what we need to do is have government take over the means of control and resources. Right, people will call you a socialist, a communist, but that's how they do it. They couch themselves in environmentalism. They use that to destroy the economic engine and the heart of America.
That's also really kind of the beating heart of liberty in this country is the right to earn a living, right to service your fellow man, you know, bea price structures and creating your own prices. And that's really what they're looking to stifle here. And the more they do that, the more control the government has. Look, this is all about just controlling people. They did it with healthcare, they want to do it with the economy. And that's why it's the first issues they take up. Where are you
seeing this? I mean, you're a guy who understands the social media and online news ecosystem very well. You know, this last ninety days or so was on precedent, even with all of the moves they've been making to shadow ban and to limit the reach of conservative ideas online, they went essentially overt with it right all of a sudden, it was, oh, we're we're helping Joe Biden. We're shutting you guys down. That's it. It's now a Biden administration.
Are you seeing things gonna You think things are gonna are gonna cool off a little bit with a suppression or should we expect them to double down. I don't think things are going to cool off, and I'll tell you why. Over the past few months, and certainly since September, they've really kind of tightened the screws on anything you know,
anti establishment, anything anti left. They've always targeted these pages and these groups, but they really kind of tightened the screws and you know, late August, early September, and they liked it. I mean, look, it led to you know, the Hunter Biden's story being squashed entirely now with the with the the Save America March on January sixth and
the Capitol riots, they're using that as justification. Now they feel like they have the justification the people behind them in orders to kind of stamp out any other descent. And they're going to use it as long as the people put up with it. But you know, I think it will backfire. I'm not entirely one percent sure, but that's where they're going with this. It is too That's
why they had all the troops here in DC. It's to create Hey, there's domestic terrorists and speech is violence, and that's the narrative that they're trying to push so that they can stamp out under any senting voices. Look, you know, they don't want to talk about policies with Trump gone. They didn't want to talk with Trump in office. They didn't want to talk about policies because they were
largely successful. The people like them, So they focused on making stuff up about I don't know Russia, he's a Russia puppet, all out other garbage. They didn't want to talk about all his policy victories under Biden. They're not going to have much of a choice but then discuss policies, and these progressive policies the people really don't like. So now what you're going to see is you know, them
them try to stamp out those dissenting voices. They don't want to have those arguments, They don't want to have policies in public discourse. So I think you see them try to tighten the scruises as much as we let them.
You know, you have h Jen Saki the White House, the new White House Press Secretary holding a press conference in which she's you know, are already you know, there's a whole there's a whole new tone, There's a whole all the journals are gathered to say, what's it like to be so amazing and to be a part of the greatest administration in history? You know, what's it like being in DC and being a being a person who works in the in the news media and not and
not essentially joining team Biden right away? What do you see going on amongst your your peers in the belt Way? You know, it's funny, like being in New York or Number one makes me maybe a perpetual cynic, but I don't like anyone, So it makes me a good journalist too. It's not my job to be on anybody's team. It's my job to report the truth, report the facts. These journalists in DC under Trump, under Biden all they care
about is their intellectual world. Our academics going to write about them to uh, you know, invite them to their cocktail parties. That's basically what they want. They want to say, Oh my god, Jake Tapper noticed me on Twitter, Oh my god, I went to Jim Accosta's cocktail party and his rooftop. That's really what this is all about. And they all it's like the you know, the vaunted intelligencia. They don't know what goes on in in the Roughs Belt and you know, in on the Panhandle of Florida
in Louisiana. They have no clue about those people. They just know that they're somehow elevated and better than those people. I mean they literally think all those people are just racists who you know, basically people who are evil racists and stupid Trumpsters. I mean, this is the mentality of the of the DC elites and the DC journalist. So that's why they fawn. They'll fawn all over Joe Biden. So you're going to see that. And he saw the tone of Jim Saki up there. It was like at
the day at the Beach. I mean, it was it's a joke. And I think you'll see that happening for the next four years. That won't happen at the Washington Examiner, the Daily Caller, etc. But that's the tone you'll see from mainstream media over the next four years. West being a wild Rick Cardella. He is at the Washington Examine or Washington Examiner dot com. Go check it out. As he says, they're not going to be giving one big
BackRub to the new administration. They're going to be actually reporting news, which will be that'll be refreshing for those of you that get stuck in a exercise room or something where they got CNND screens on just telling you about the glories of the of the Biden administration. I gotta say, well, I'm already starting to see the early, the early stage walk back of oh on one hundred days, Biden's gonna He's not gonna lock down the economy, He's
gonna lock down the virus. Today there's the people that are reporting on well, you know, it's actually gonna be really complicated, and you know there's a lot of thing. Okay, day one, the goalposts are moving with old man Biden. What a shock. Well, yeah, I don't know why anyone was shocked. I mean essentially come on your show, and I said it before COVID. You know, they positioned themselves at one point to make COVID as bad as possible to blame Trump. You see them blaming all the death
on Trump. And it was also to hijack the economy at the state level. It was for New York and California, some of the biggest economies in the world, to shut them down. The economy was booming, Trump was doing well. They didn't want to see that happen. And there were reports in Politico saying that, look, we're a little nervous that if we opened too soon the economy, I'll bounce back and it will help Trump just before the election.
That's what that was about. There's also about fear and panic to change election laws at state level in Pennsylvania and Georgia, Arizona, Nevada and so on that would that would benefit Democrats, and they change them without going through the legislatures. So that's a large reason why you know, Joe Biden won. And look, if they don't turn those those those all over fifty rules changes all over the countries, it's just hard to see Republicans doing well. Again in
a general election for the president. Well, what do you think for those who are listening who were Trump voters and or you know now are they're still Trump voters, but now we're just Republicans right there is there is no more Trump presidency. Give me, give me your case for a conservative conservative's optimism right now. Look, they should be optimistic because if you look at what happened in
the election in November, Progressives got destroyed. They got destroyed at the local level, they got destroyed at the federal level. With the exception of Donald Trump. They were supposed to pick up houses. They lost a ton of houses, seats in the House. So they're not really sitting pretty there. They don't have a ton of power. They just squeak by in Georgia, which is a blue state now there's just no getting around it. It's all the Northeasterners and
everything moved down there. It will be a blue state. That's okay because conservatives have Florida that's now a red state. So trading one for one, but you know it's gonna be. They should be very optimistic in twenty twenty two of taking the House in the Senate, and they should be very optimistic in twenty twenty four because look, Americans do not like progressive policies. The hardest part of Biden's job now is governing. They don't like getting the Climate Paris Accords,
the immigration problem. If you see all, you see the incentives of the Biden administration. Already we have a migrant caravan heading here with thousands of people. They already know. Look, we've got a free pass. There's gonna be another. Trump solved the humanitarian crisis on our border. We'll have one within a month with under Joe Biden. So a lot of these problems that caused Trump to win in the first place, they're going to rear their ugly head again.
And you're gonna have the juxtaposition between Donald Trump's policies where people realize, hey, I'm better off than I was four years ago, going back to where they were prior to Trump. So you'll have that juxtaposition. The media will also be exposed, if they weren't enough already, as how they treat Joe Biden versus how they treat Trump. So I see Biden as really a lame duck president at
this point. He's not the future of the party, and I feel like progressives are going to try to take over and it will doom the Democrats here in the next four years. Now, well, before I let you go, I want to get you on the record. Do you think that Biden is going to is going to try to finish out eight years in the presidency or would you would you place your bets on he decides at some point to voluntarily step aside for Kamala. Look, I know, I hope, so I hope that he's well enough to
run again in four years. To be clear on that, I don't He's obviously in a mental decline. I think that's without a doubt. The presidency is a tough job. He's seventy eight years old, he'll be eighty in the mid terms. You know, I hope, I hope he's well, you know what I mean, But that's something I can't guarantee, and it will really see what happens with that left wing at the party. Look, Kamala Harris is a full blown Marxist. She's the most she makes Bernie. Bernie Sanders
is to the right of Kamala Harris. I think people forget that. So she's really going to embolden that far left movement in Congress. I mean, we have a socialist in the White House. So you know, Biden has to really kind of be carefully here because the Americans do not if November fourth told taught us anything or November three taught us anything. So they do not like progressive policies. And you know, if those people are going to be fighting him for control, he's going to have a really
really hard time winning in twenty twenty four. And you know, with his with his age and everything, it's going to be a tough battle for him. So we'll have to see what happens. I really see it, Ruin. We're gonna see his right running this White House pretty soon. Here. But our man in DC will Rick Cardella Washington Examiner dot com and if you can spell his last name, follow him on social media. Will great. Thank you all, buddy. But this is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Follow fuck
on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Rock and roll, fellow Patriots, It's time for roll call. Yeah, that's a That's what I'm talking about right there. I feel like I'm back in like nineteen eighty five or something, just at the time of guitar rock gods, Poison Motley Crue van Halen sounds of like kiss almost skid rowe Uh kiss, Yeah, I mean kisses. I think kisses a little. I think kiss predates those groups a little bit, like the real
hair bands. You know. But there was an airman I remember watching when I used to watch m MTV was like this cultural phenomenon for a while, you know, and you watch music videos, watch music videos on TV, and it was like you like transfixed by these As a kid, I watched so many of these music videos and now the whole thing is kind of faded away, and I guess you can see them on YouTube. So something else
that you can get going on there, producer Mark. But before we, uh, I want to send everybody off with a great weekend. You know. I'm gonna be in Florida. The Buckster's gonna be in Miami with the Snow Princess, with the two My two brothers are down there. They're living there right now because they have had enough of the Blasio and Cuomo ruining everything. Um, producer Mark, what have you got going on? I'll be cold and watching football.
Well you'll probably stay warm then while you're watching football, yea, I'll be indoors so I guess I'll be slightly warmer than I would be if I was outdoors. What are the games you got this weekend? Well, it's the NFC and AFC Conference championship games. So you got the Chiefs and the Bills and the Packers and the Buccaneers. It should be two really good games. Tom Brady is that good that the Buccaneers are now like Super Bowl contenders? Tom Brady is I think forty three years old, and yeah,
he's one of the best quarterbacks in the league. Yeah still still look, give the guy credit, and not just because he married Gizelle. Also a strong move. You know, he's he's getting done. I actually like him now that he's not on the Patriots. I used to hate him, but now he's because he was kind of Look, let's be honest. I mean, and for our for our New England listeners. Just earmuff yourself now. Used to put those Bernie Mittens on and earmuff yourselves for our New England listeners,
Boston and the surrounding areas and New Hampshire. And I know we got people all across to England. But you know, Brady was like the lead year of the Evil Empire. Up there, I mean, come on right over the Patriots or is okay? So, so that means so if if Belichick was like Emperor Palpatine, you know, Brady was like Darth Vader, but now it's like Darth Vaders fighting for the rebels or the Now he's like one of the
good guys. Exactly, he's like likable now. It's strange. Yeah, um, you know he's he's like a little bit he's a little bit right of center too in his politics, which I of course really appreciate. So and by the way, for the Patriots fans, we're just we're just being haters because it's probably the greatest sports dynasty of the last I think you can say the greatest sports dynasty of the last twenty years is that I give them credit
for being one of the best teams. Ever, who else, I mean, who else for you is in that you know way more about preessional sports than I do. Who else is in that conversation for the best dynasty in their sport? Right? I mean, the Patriots are obviously the best NFL dynasty of the last twenty years, no question. Who's the best dynasty though in their sport? That maybe? I mean with the early two thousands. Would the Yankees be in that, I mean they are the Yankees are
in that conversation early two thousands. There's they're the last baseball dynasty. He got the Oilers in hockey, but that goes all the way back to the eighties. And really the Islanders two they won four in a row. Um, there's a basketball one. I mean Lebron is a dynasty, but on different teams. He made the fun probably the probably have to say the Lakers for basketball for a period there in the in the shock, Yes, the Shaq
Kobe here. Yeah. Yeah, so those those would be like the true, the true dynasties that that have existed in fresh I didn't realize the Oilers were really. Oh that was a long time ago. That was a long time. It was when Wayne Gretzky played for them. Yeah, why it was great. I've seen I saw something recently where they showed Wayne Gretzky and you know, the guy looks like he honestly looks like he'd be like a professional
badminton player or something like. He's not you know, you think of hockey players or kind of these usually like very rugged, strong individuals. Wayne Gretzky was not a big dude. He was just why was he better than everybody because he was the fastest player ever. He had just the best shot. He had the ability to pass it to anyone whatever he wanted. I mean, the guy's the all time leader in goals, assists, points, everything, and I don't
think his records would ever be shattered. I mean, there's Alexovetkin right now who might get to his record if he plays a couple more years, but nobody will ever match great. And the thing is with great hockey players, they don't have to be huge. You have the other huge guys to make sure they don't get hit. But there's guys that are like five eleven that play in the NHL, like Marty Saint Louis. I would I've seen him in person. I used to cover the NHL a
little bit. He's got tree trunks for legs. So these guys may be short, but they're strong as hell, right right, Yeah, No, But I mean, like Gretzky is not a physically imposing guy. Yeah, he doesn't look like somebody who beat you up in a back alley, but like one of the best athletes ever. Yeah, I mean I remember, did you You probably this was before your time, but I don't know if you ever
saw it in reruns. There was a show that I think it was called like the All Stars or something, and it was a cartoon where there were three superheroes and you know what, I could even I could even look this up. It was Bo Jackson, Wayne Gretzky and h Pro Stars pro Stars from nineteen ninety one. Bo Jackson,
Wayne Gretzky and Michael Jordan. The idea being they were like the three greatest you know, athletes of all time and they were like superheroes, though it wasn't really U it was aired from Saturday Morning cartoon Professional Athletes, and yeah, they're fictional superheroes and they would like deal with bad guys and stuff. But I mean, you know, Bo Jackson is just I don't I don't know all the stats about him. He's just like a a a supreme physical
specimen of strength, speed and coordination. Like to do what that guy did is crazy. And he was an All Star in two sports, yeah, which is just incredible. Yeah, No, he's he's he's amazing. And obviously Michael Jordan. I know, people will have their arguments about Lebron James. So Michael Jordan is, like, it's just that guy was a He was really the in a sense, the first truly global Well maybe Muhammad Ali actually in his era, but but Michael Jordan was a global sports superhero, you know which,
and with the Dream Team and everything. I mean, he really hit that at a time. And he was back in the days that athletes didn't talk about politics. Remember Republicans buy sneakers too. Yeah, yeah, I know. It was nice when when sports was like a thing we could all come together on talk about you know, people like you who know about it, people like me who know
like a tiny bit about it. But like we all sit around, we're all eating the hot dogs, enjoying ourselves, and it's not about you know who you voted for, you know, I really, I actually do wish we could go back to that. Like I wish the leagues would would would you really encourage it? But I know they can't because everyone, you order, it really is. Man, everyone's got social media now and so there's pressure on everyone to weigh in on everything. That's the problem. Yeah, social
media has completely changed the game. They don't really need the media to speak to anymore, they just tweet fire off. That's right, that's right. And also that means that like for so people like me, I don't even watch a lot of professional sports. And so if I don't watch the post game you know, back in the day, if you don't watch the post game show like you know, and you don't read the newspaper sports section, I don't even see what like Scottie Pippen says after a game,
I don't care. But now if Lebron James tweets out to his you know, one hundred million followers, you know, police or racist, like, I'm gonna see that. So it's a different a different era. All right, let's get to your your roll call stuff. We'll kick it off first with Brad. Brad writes, Hello, bucking Mark, I love the show from back in the producer Tie days. I liked him, and I hope you parted on good terms. Well, Brad, let me tell you Producer Tye and I parted on
very friendly terms. I was encouraging and congratulating him because he wanted to go We're just talking about sports radio. He got a sports radio job to host, and he called me a couple of years ago, right, before Christmas, and he said, you know, I love working on the show and and and you know, I know, you know, he said very nice things. You got a huge future and I would love to be a part of it. But sports is my true passion. And I got a job as a sports radio guy in Philadelphia hosting a show.
And I said, Tye, God bless, I'm so happy that you know, you had a good experience here and wish. Yeah, we still he reached out to me, Um, I don't know, maybe six months ago to check in see how I'm doing and everything. So no, Producer Tye and I, uh, you know, we parted on. You know, it was like he got a promotion and I was very happy for him.
Um and then uh yeah, and then we got oh now, he writes, hold on, It took me a minute to figure out producer Mark, but now I'm a huge fan of him and the on air interactions you two have during the show. See producer Mark Brad is a huge fan. I'm an acquired taste. Even my wife says that now for the negative, Oh how many times you got to bring cold through on to say that Trump was to do nothing? Con Man, It's a constant drum beat with her, and you give her the airtime, dispute garbage about our
great former president. Stay friends with her, fine, but I've had enough of her as a listener. Keep up the good Workshield type. Brad Brad ann is a friend of mine, and I always I tell you guys that honestly, and and I are friends, and I think, look, I give Anne a lot of credit and a lot of I give her a wide berth on a lot of things because she was one of the early, one of the early warriors for our movement. You know, for conservatives, conservative media.
You go back to the late nineties, early two thousands, you know you had the greatest of all, you know, our Michael Jordan, r Wayne Gretzky, Rush Limbaugh on radio. But you will also have you know, you look at people that really became TV and writing superstars for a movement. I mean, Coulter has really got to be near the very top of that list. So she's done a lot for us, and she'd done a lot for Trump. That said, she is very but about the fact that you have
to resent for her. The Trump thing is is personal, meaning that it's about her personal relationship with Trump and it was widely reported on in a book that and you know, and you can ask an. I think Anna even brought this up when she was talking to me recently on air, that she had a real throwdown with Trump in the Oval office about him not falling through on policy promises and handing over a lot to Jared. Now I understand that maybe that's you know, people don't
like to hear the same thing too many times. But I would ask you to think about that criticism now that Trump has gone and see if that's a fair one. But Brad point take in and since you love producer Mark, your family, so you can say whatever you want. But like I am loyal to my friends, so I will never have a bad thing to say about Anne on the show. And I honestly do believe she's one of the greats of our business. She just she had a
falling out with Trump. Chris hey Buck, big listener since your Blaze days when producer Mark was just learning to drive, I think that's true. Actually, mathematically speaking, love your show, but I have a very scary question for you. Current worldwide debt stands at two hundred and fifty trillion and thirty year liabilities like social security and socialized medicine stand at seven hundred and fifty trillion. Each person in the
United States owes five hundred thousand dollars of United States debt. Clearly, this is unsustainable, and yet our world leaders and central bankers sadly have just one solution in the event of
a crisis, spend more money. There is only one inevitable result, with investment experts like Rubidi and Gunlach predicting a seven to ten year depression beginning as early as late twenty twenty two, what effect would a worldwide depression have on China US relations, Biden the Democrats, on religion and on work ethic And how are you preparing for such an occurrence? Chris an eloquent, thoughtful and serious question or series of questions to which I have to just say, I'm not
meaning to dodge this. There's so much there, my friend, that I can't do it justice in a brief role call session, I would say that, on the downside, the history of Fiat currencies is very clear in that Fiat currencies overwhelmingly go well, actually inevitably, I shouldn't say overwhelmingly inevitably. Fiat currencies historically speaking, have gone to zero, have basically collapsed. Not good. So I know that doesn't help anybody sleep, sleep at night, or feel warm and fuzzy about things.
As for where we're going, well, you know what, my friend, Chris, you just got to keep listening to the show. I did talk about the dead in this program, and I am concerned about the long term projections for this And I'm thinking about this now as an asset owner, as an investor, as a real estate owner. You know what is going to happen with this just gusher of spending that's going to be just kicked wide open under the Biden administration. And I've got I've got to give it
more thought. I've got to give it more thought. I will. This is the Buck Sexton Show Podcast. Join the conversations and message Buck on Facebook, Instagram, or email Team Bucket iHeartMedia dot com. He may read it on the show. All right, finishing out road call before we go for the weekend, and the Boxer's gonna be in Miami. Welcome to Miami. Oh, Buck loves Miami. It's gonna be fun. Bruce and Mark just visibly cringed. Yeah, I'll be uh, I'll be. We'll be missing you down there, buddy. That's
all I will. I will drink a Kayperina in your honor. Okay, thank you. That makes me feel so much better. Yeah, well you'll eat some buffalo wings in mine, so though, there we go. Yes, are you a bone in guy or or a what do you call it? You know? With the wings? I prefer see in a social setting boneless because they're easy to eat. You just use a fork. But I actually prefer bone in. And I'm actually gonna make some in the air fryer this weekend. That's something
I'm planning on doing. Look at you, and the preferred sauce is barbecue. Your barbecue over over Buffalo. Interesting Buffalo. I've had some problem with spicy foods lately. Let's just say that. Ah, I hear you on that one. Yeah. I remember when I was in college, we would order these wings and they would come in and and there was like a hot sauce range, and we thought it was funny to like get them at the very top of the range. It's not funny later on, I'll tell
you that much. Yeah, just hurt your mouth and other things. Yeah, it's not good, all right, I'm gonna jump around here a little bit. It's more of this role call, Steve writes, dear Bucking Mark. Producer Mark's comments about playing the long game for suicide had me laughing so hard I was crying problem as I was driving. Yeah, Brucer, Mark is funny. Fox hunting is illegal in the UK. Aficionados go to France where there's a cottage industry catering to that crowd.
Shield's high. Well, Steve, I did not know that, and I'm always rooting for the fox to get away. I'll tell you that, I just I a I have an affinity for foxes as an animal, and I just I don't know. I think they're beautiful and cool, and I don't like fox on it. I don't want else to tell you. Mike Buck, you're one of my favorite podcasts to listen to daily. Well, Mike, you're a smart man as I. As much as I enjoy your political commentary and opinions, my guilty pleasure is roll call at producer
Mark getting involved. My girlfriend and I just adopted two pit mix puppies, Finnegan and Telula. Yes, we named her after your cute little canine. It was a name we decided on before we found her. Keep up the good work and keep pounding on your listeners to contact their state representatives because they've forgotten who they work for. Shield's high Well, Mike, you got great dog names. Finn and
telou Finnegan and Telulah. I love that. And you know we appreciate producer market in the High five because he is he is the the Mickey to my Rocky. He's in the corner every day going get it in that buck, go to radio. You gotta finish, you gotta get in there. Givehim left and a right. And you know you don't really sound like that though, you know, I don't sound like doctor Fauci. Well no, but that's supposed to be Mickey from a Rocky No, I understand, but it sounded
like your doctor Fauci. I pressure get in that rock. Yeah, I know it's it's a little it's actually at Fauci has an accent, but the tone is somewhat similar. Hey, everybody, we're gonna have a great week together next week. I promise you listen to the show this weekend. Pass it to a friend, pass the buck. She'll tie
