The Obamagate Plot Thickens

Thank you so much for joining on this Monday in the middle of May. It does not feel like it normally would this time of year, because we are in the midst of this continued battle to get our lives back. The good news that I have for you today is that there are some signs of real progress here. The stories that we were told about Georgia, for example, well, well, let's actually step back for a moment. With Florida, we were told that they were moving too late and so

they would hit catastrophe. Turned out that was not the case. With Georgia. We were told they were moving too early to reopen, and so they would hit catastrophe. Turned out that's not the case. In fact, Governor Brian Kemp shared just a couple of days ago that today marks the lowest number of COVID nineteen positive patients hospitalized nationwide since

hospitals began reporting this data on April eighth. Today also marks the lowest total of ventilators in use eight hundred ninety seven with one nine hundred and forty five available. We will win this fight together. So Georgia is now fifteen days into it's reopened. We've started to have some businesses getting back on their feet, and I want to talk more about what this is going to look like

across the country. But the team Apocalypse, as our friend of the show Alex Barrenson calls them, the shutdown Forever a chorus is losing ground because one, shutdown forever is crazy, and two the data does not support it. The data does not support at this juncture the continued state by every state lockdown that we've seen. And that's why the states that are beginning to reopen are doing better than was anticipated. Better than was expected. You shouldn't have any

surprise with that. But I will get more into the what has been called in the Wall Street Journal. The swoosh shaped recovery, which, let me tell you, is not that easy to say on a radio show, should be not A V shape. V shape will be the best. A swoosh is not is going to require a little more patience, and we'll get to that later on the show. And then also just the medium moufeasance on display over the weekend was like nothing else you could imagine. I mean, well,

I guess it's like the media always is. But they got They got caught with their hands in the cookie jar. Not a once, I'll but a twice. Well maybe that was in the spaghetti plate, not the cookie jar, but you know what I mean, they got it. They got a cought two at times. So we will we'll get into that. We'll talk about why they keep making mistakes only in one direction and anti Trump, and then expect us to think that these are good faith errors. M

I don't think so. But I want to start with what I think is the or I should say, transition. This isn't really the start anymore, is it. Team. I missed you over the weekend. I had way too much time in my hands to read finish up some research on the mall to podcast, which producer Mark will remind me of today if I don't say it out loud.

So it is coming. Even the snow Princess has said, where is your multi podcast because she wants to hear it, And I'm like, it's just going to be me sitting alone, drinking mescal and talking about a battle from over five hundred years ago, from five hundred or so years ago, and we'll see if anyone likes it. And she's like, do it. So there is no do do or do not, There is no try. That's where I am on this,

So it is coming. But over the weekend there was just a lot of watching of movies and reading and doing research. And the most interesting story to me is really taking us back to the beginnings of the Trump presidency and the opposition to him and the hashtag resistance and much of what we have been talking about since well honestly since this show went into national syndication, which was now for it's kind of stunning, but it was four years ago, which had to do with the deep

state plot, the coup against the president United States. This is what this is what they were doing. I mean, they tried to find a mecca a legal mechanism for it. They abused power, They certainly broke regulations, and they broke faith with the American people and with the Constitution. But we now know beyond any doubt that there were people in the very top echelon of the federal government. When I say beyond any doubt, we have proof we've known

for years. Go back and listen to what I was saying about the Flynn prosecution a year or two, two and a half years ago. Right, this is not a

surprise to anyway. So there's a part of us that we're just seeing what we have known, what we have believed all along here to be confirmed by the evidence, the evidence from the disclosures now from federal court, and as we know, the dropping by the DOJ of the case against General Flynn, which came from a career not a not a political appointee, a career DOOJ guy, that has shown us that we were right, of course, and that everything that we had thought about the other side

was true, and now we have now we have actual documentation of it. Now it's not just this is what would make sense knowing what we know and knowing who they are and what they're trying to achieve. This is no longer a theory. This is fact. This is fact that they went after Flynn in a way that was egregious, wrong, full of lies and dishonesty, and that it was all a part of this broader effort to destroy the Trump administration using this complete fabrication. It really is a fabrication

of the Russia collusion fantasy. And look, I think that Sidney Powell says it quite well here, and I don't want to get to you know, she's the lawyer who the establishment was, you know, thumbing their nose at and mocking for a long time. You're, Oh, she's all these so called legal experts at the different sites and on CNN and MSNBC, you know, feeding their ignorant, left wing moron viewership as much anti Flynn bile as they possibly could all the time. Why do people hate General Flints?

What did the guy even? Do they? They even if you believe what they believe, he he fibbed about a unimportant, non criminal nonsense, some FBI guys who did a sneak attack on him. You think that's worth ruining somebody's life over the Bill Clinton. Defenders of the Democratic Party think that ruining Flynn's life over there. Remember Clinton lied about a whole bunch of things. He told It was more than just the Oh he lied about sex, that's that's

an idiots line. He lied about multiple things. He also told people to lie on his behalf while there was an investor, while I was a special counsel investigation going on of him. So he was up. That is obstructing justice, right, He was doing all these things. But they just said, oh, he lied about sex, and they made it go away. They want to ruin Flynn's life, and you say, why what did he do? And that's a very instant question. Actually why did he upset them so much? Because I'm

building all of this too. Obama's role. Why did Obama escape any of the major criticism, any of the focus and this whole thing. Who was the president, who was running the White House, who is at the top of the government food chain when this whole thing was going on, Barack husaying Obama, who was getting briefed about some of these moves, including the move on Flynn and the phone

call and all this stuff. Obama. You know, I think that we often lose sight of how immune to real criticism and transparency and opposition the Obama administration was the media as dishonest and disgusting as they are still very powerful, and they completely prostrated themselves in front of Barack Obama. They begged for him to just say a nice word about them or just wink in their in their direction.

It was gross. And that's why it's no surprise that the media, I mean now when I say that they're dishonest and horrible, and they complain so much about Trump, I turned around and look at this and say, well, given what we know about how they were acting under Obama, this is just the This is just the exact opposite reaction that they're having. This is an opposite thing. It's opposite day, that's what they're doing. But Obama was able to escape the eye or even of conservatives for the

most part on this one. And you know, we had a piece on buck sexton dot com based on my analysis here on this show and what I've also tweeted out that you know, the buck stops with Obama essentially that there's no way that you can know that this conspiracy, that this soft coup occurred and not view Obama as somehow involved and ultimately responsible. And then the question just becau how much was it directed by him? You know, was this on his watch and he bears responsibility or

was this at his behest? And so these people were really just tools O then Obama vendetta against Flynn. There is plenty of evidence to suggest now that that may have been the case. And we know for a fact, based on the events here that there was bad faith, abuse of power, and illegality even behind the scenes to take down Flynn. And Obama knew about that bad faith and people around him were acting on it, and he

didn't do anything about it. So he's at least somewhat guilty, and I mean directly guilty of this takedown of Flynn. Now we're just trying to figure out how guilty. And that's where Sidney Powell, the Flynn lawyer, who you know, she gets we gotta give her a hand, we gotta give her some applause here. I know she appears on a lot of shows, a lot of radio shows and

Fox all the time. I mean, I might have her here, but I feel like they're guests who you're seeing so much of on TV that I mean, I value all of my time with you. And so if I feel like someone's done, you know, one hundred interviews in five days or something, I'm not always that keen to be like, well, let me ask you the same questions everybody else does. But maybe we'll maybe we'll ask her to come on. And I've I've been aware of her work for a while.

I've been supporting it. I mean, I was tweeting at the president pardon General Flynn. I mean, I could go back in the archives and check, but maybe hear maybe two years ago. I mean, I've been saying, we got to get this done. But here's what Sidney pal back to the Obama responsibility in all this, which this is, my friends, this is the third rail. This is the nuclear reactor that will melt down if you get too close to it. For the Libs, they will completely lose

their minds. Who's who's really the the standard bearer of the Democratic Party. I don't care that Joe Biden is their nominee. Who do they rally around and point to and say, see, this is what democratic the Democratic Party's really all about. It's not Hillary Clinton any more, it's not Joe Biden. It's still Barack Obama. So as a symbol for the Democrats. He's very important, and as a not necessarily kingmaker because he wouldn't step in and say he was going to be on team Biden here, but

certainly as an influential figure in the Democratic Party. But even more than that, the story the mythology of Obama for decades, You're going to hear people on the left, Democrats who are trying to turn this country socialist, who appoint to Obama as that sort of modern FDR like the paragon of Democrat party virtue for a long time thereafter.

And that's why they get so testy about it. That's why they get so touchy when you bring up anything that happened with him, and hear anything that President Obama himself may have done that was not acceptable, that was a problem. Here's Sidney Powell, lawyer for General Flynn, given

her analysis of this one play three. So then they dispatch coming the very next morning to brief President and Trump only on the salacious aspects of the dossier on January sixth, to set the news hook for BuzzFeed and CNN to run with the dossier they knew was a lie. Then Peter Struck is watching CNN report on that and text about he and pre steps sitting there watching it and using it as a pretext to go interview some people.

So the whole thing was orchestrated and set up within the FBI clapper Brennan and in the Oval Office sating that day with President Obama. So you think this goes all the way up to the top to President Obama. Absolutely, it absolutely does. The only question that remains is not whether Barack Obama was in on it. It's whether Barack

Obama was the one directing the whole thing. Because if you read a news story about some European country where after a fair election, the outgoing president used his last week's in office to target incoming officials and sabotage the new administration, you'd be appalled. But it happened here, my friends, and half the country thinks it was just fine. You're in the Freedom Hunt. This is the Buck Sex and

Show podcast. You can tell that they're getting a little bit closer than Obama's comfortable with on this whole thing. You can tell because he's speaking out now. The legacy is in jeopardy. Now, the mythology of Obama has come into question. He was, as they called him in the media for years, no drama. Obama so deliberative in all of his h' talk about this some time. Uh, you know, I'm gonna take ten minutes to say anything. And they were always talking about he was a genius, He's perfect,

you never do anything wrong. And you know, there were some parts of you know, of Obama's presidency that I think are are unassailable and that he was you know, he seemed like a good dad and husband and a good family man. You know, how much is that really a part of the presidency You could discuss, you know, how much of that is relevant? But you know there are things I don't attack, things about Obama that I think we weren't you know, either either were praised, were

theyre weren't a problem? His conduct in this matter is horrific. Okay, the fact that he allowed General Flynn, a thirty year plus military veteran who had served under Obama as chief of the d IA, and they had some some vendetta against him, and he allowed this to go forward. He's absolutely disgraceful and horrific. And that's why Obama in this phone call, this was published. This is audio a phone call with Obama and his three thousand person like team Obama.

I don't know what exactly they're called. But these people that all are still unlike the Obama proucer mark, what's there? Do we know what they're officially? Like? Who was on the phone and then there was three thousand people. They're obviously all Democrats, and they're all like Obama. They like worship this guy. But there's some term they have for them. They're like the Obama you know, I don't know something Obama squad um. But here's what he said about President

Trump and his coronavirus response play nine. It would have been even with the best stoke governments, it has been an absolute chaotic disaster. When that mindset of what's it for me and to heck with everybody else, when that mindset is operationalized in our go that's that's taking a shot directly at Trump. And I mean it's not even an it's not even an intelligent analysis of the situation. I mean to say that, you know, because of what's like Trump is what's in it for me? What are

we are? We're now going to do the same thing we do with the Trump hotel. Oh, he's selling cheeseburgers to people they must own they must own Trump now because he's selling them cheeseburgers. Uh, this is um, Yeah, this is the president's being to former members of his administration to rally behind Joe Biden. I don't know there were some. Yeah, it's basically like the It's basically like team Obama. I mean, I don't know what it's. He like, has this group of people that are all former Obama

folks that he talks to on the phone. Anyway. Obama also went on to say that the the Justice Department, you know that justice itself is at risk here because of this m He must know that this is going to leak out. This is not a surprise, So he's he's taking he's taking shots at Trump now but pretending

that he's not. Kind of you know, this is the This is one of these old political tricks where you know, I would never speak about how you know, my my opponent is actually a terrible human being and nobody should ever vote for him. That would be beneath me. But here's what I'm gonna tell you about Obama. He's never

been up against somebody like Trump. He's only been up against McCain's and Romneys, and people who weren't willing to really fight, weren't willing to really say what they thought about a situation or an individual, and don't care what the media says about their you know, their commentary. So you know, Obama is not a political brawler, my friends. He was very, very taken care of and held up and protected by the media. If he starts throwing some some jabs at Trump, he might find himself on the

other side of a rhetorical haymaker pretty quickly. It might get pretty rough for Obama. But you know what Obama's ego, he won't He won't be able to resist. Thanks for listening to The Bus Sesson Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcast. You know, this is disgusting. It's something that we've been exposing and fighting to get the truth out for a long time. You know, we're talking years to

try to get the facts out on this. The FBI and some of the pulledovers in the Justice Department, we're trying to hide this from getting out. Adam Schiff was trying to mislead people about what was going on here. But this was a set up by some real dirty cops within the FBI and the Justice Department. And how high does it go? They are very serious questions being raised about whether it goes all the way to the top. And did Barack Obama and did Vice President at the

time Joe Biden know about this and encourage it to happen? Lett? And let it happened, because, as you pointed out, the FBI had previously made a decision not to go forward with a prosecution of General Flynn because he didn't do anything wrong, and instead a few of the dirty cops wanted to set them up because they ultimately wanted to take down Donald Trump, even after he was duly elected

President of United States. Nothing behind it, There was no evidence except the Russian disinformation that came from the Steel dossier, which was fueled by a Democratic Party operatives Hignord Clinton's campaign. This is disgraceful. It's even worse than that. I mean,

Stave Scaliz is right, but it's worse than that. We now have these And I spent my weekend because I know how to ain't no party like a team Buck party, because a team Buck party reads a lot of government documentation off of dot gov websites so that he can do a good radio show. The US House of Representatives Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence has now Hipsie has now posted the Russia investigation transcripts and documents from twenty seventeen

and twenty eighteen. And now you have to skip past the fact that the way it's it's offered to you, the way it's presented because the Democrats are in the majority of the House, is like an MSNBC screed, So you have to avoid that. It's you know, Adam Schiff was this okay, this is terrible. I hate Trump the usual cold eyed nonsense, lies and lies and just he's such an odious, grotesque little man. The Adam Schiff, very bad fellow. Really not somebody, not somebody you'd want your family,

your kids, your friends, anybody around. Not not a good guy. But here it is. I mean, because I don't think you could be a good person and ruin someone's life for politics, like general like ruined someone like General Flynn, along if many others. You know, we're focused on Flynn right now. Look what they did to Carter Page, Look what they did to Papadopoulos. Look what they did to Roger Stone. Roger Stone's going to prison for four years.

They say that's not enough. These people are sociopaths. They do not feel other human beings pain. They do not feel, They do not understand the damage that they do. In fact, they revel in it. They think that it's justified. It's even worse than that. I'm sure somebody you would write me that right now if you could. Oh, no, Buck, it's not that they can't feel. They like the pain the others feel. They like the ruination of Roger Stone

and Manafort and Gates and all these different individuals. Now, I would want to say here, there's the difference between what justice demands and what makes wild eyed partisans feel good. You know, Manaford didn't pay his taxes. Should Maniport get in trouble? Yes? Was he treated horribly because and I'm also somebody who thinks, I know this might be a little controversial. You know, I think you cheat on your taxes the first time, they take all the money owed

and they take a huge fine out of you. I don't know if you go to prison for a long time for that. I mean, I'm not sure that I'm okay with that. In fact, I'm not okay with it. So I know some of you may have made disagree with me on that. But you know, you cheat on your taxes, you should you should have to pay restitution and a big fine. You do it again, maybe you know they have to lock you up for a little bit, but you do it the first time. I think everybody gets I think you get a one. I mean that

fine should hurt. I mean basically, whatever the money was he didn't pay, he'd probably double it. Right. But anyway, I don't want to get too far into this. I just think that we all agree that taxation is theft, right, and it's legalized theft, but it's it's crazy, and there's so much of it going on, and the government is spending your money in ways that are debasing the hours of labor and all of the assets that you have. I mean, we don't see it and feel it in

real time, but it is happening. But anyway, they want to destroy people. Sorry, I was getting a little too ron Swanson there with taxations. That we'll talk about that another day, probably July fifteenth, which is now the new tax day for this year. But they destroy people. They don't care about the fact that they're destroying people, and really they celebrate it. I read through some of these trans there's a lot of them. I read through some

of the transcripts over the weekend. One of the better ones, well, there's there's a whole bunch of them. But one of the better ones is, you know, you read through a carter page and you read through Donald Trump Junior, and you read through Sally Yates. We'll get back to Sally Yates, Brad Parscal. You know, just so many people, and a lot of them were I believe, paying their own medical bills, not meta sorry, legal bills, not medical billows whoops, legal

bills in this process, Corey Luandow's game. And you can read all these very long, very long interview transcripts, and here's what comes across. They knew that there was no Russia collusion, that there was nothing there, and there were people who were interviewed here under oath, including McCabe and well, I mean, obviously Adam Schiff had had all these people talking under you know, speaking under oath about things they

behind closed doors. We're saying one thing, and Shift and other Democrats were hearing it, which was that there's nothing. They don't have anything, there's no Russia collusion. And then they go right out, I mean shift would go right out on MSNBC, on a TV and say, oh, there's definitely collusion evidence out there, and it's it's persons. Is a fraud, he's a liar. He should resign, should no longer be an office. It's a disgrace, a disgrace what

he did. And many others, too many others. These people should lose their positions. They won't because they were doing the dirty work of their partisan apparatus. Representative Lee Zeldon, for example, is out there saying that Schiff should resign. In fact, play clip seven. Well, Adam Schiff should not be the chair of the House Intelligence Committee. His gavel should be removed, he should be censured, he should resign. There's there's a lot that should happen, But Nancy Pelosi

isn't going to punish Adam Schiff. In fact, that's the reason why he has the gavel in the first place. He's the chair of the House Intelligence Committee, which became the House Impeachment Committee because of the way he writes these fairytale parodies, because of the Russian investigation and became the impeachment push. It's actually one that the Democrats reward, it's one that the media rewards. So I'm not going to expect any repercussions, even though he should resign today. Yep,

that's all correct. He should resign today. He will not resign today. And I'm also warning you right now there will not be any real justice I think here for any of the people that attempted the coup will effectively get away with the attempt. They weren't successful, but they will not really be punished for the attempt. Sure, Struck was fired, McCabe was fired. That's some punishment. Those are people struck in page. I'm sorry, struck in mccabean page.

These are people who locked up individuals countless times over the years for non violent crimes, frauds, white collar crimes of you know, accounting frauds, male fraud, why or fraud. Send people to prison for that. Just remember that they they were fine with other people with near victimless crimes, never mind even getting into like insider trading stuff. With near victimless crimes, they would send people to prison separated

from their family. They're fine, and they try to undo the results of a presidential election, and they're not going to get punished really at all. They're not going to spend a day in prison. I mean, McKay blot under Oathen is getting away with it. That's just the deep state privilege. That's just when you're when the people that still run these different offices, you know, you don't even

know their names. I mean, I remember what this is like from the CIA, when the people that are in charge of the different subcomponents, not even just the director level, but below that, when they think you're one of theirs, you're gonna get the better you're gonna get, not just the benefit of down. You're gonna get a pass. If you speak out against the ATU institution though, or if you are a political problem for them, they will string you up and rip you apart and annihilate you. I mean,

they just will absolutely destroy you. So McCabe gets away with this. McCabe gets away with this. Yeah, that's that's what I don't think. Unfortunately, the part of this that we really need more information on would be the the Obama direct President Obama himself his involvement in all of this, and I just think that that's gonna be There's there's no incentive for the people who would really know to come forward. There's no incentive for those who would have

been in that room in that overlaw. What Komey and Yates and Clapper and Brennan, Clapper, Brennan, these guys were going behind closed doors and saying, no, we didn't have any Russia collusion information. And then they're going on TV, Oh, I knew there was Russia collusion. I can't imagine being such a liar, such a liar if I go on TV and I get a fact wrong, I beat myself up for days afterwards, and I'm like, how could you

have been such an idiot? And that's just an accident, right, I can't imagine going on and saying something of this kind of a momentous issue, like whether the president the United States stole the election and as a traitor, and you were the former head of the of the CIA, or you were the director of National Intelligence and you know because you've been behind closed doors, never mind just the intelligence you had access to, but you've heard the

investigation and the questions, and now you're just gonna pretend, you're just gonna lie, just gonna be a huge, disgusting liar and get rewarded for it. People like Comey have effectively been rewarded. I mean Comey is making tons of money. Democrats everywhere basically weep. You know, female Democrats think Comy is some dream boat. I mean, it's disgusting. But here we are, here, we are, we know the truth. Now will we get justice? I think the answer is probably not,

but we'll see. But we go back to it Obama Gate. What did he know? When did he know it? And let's not give him this false invulnerability anymore where you can't really criticize Obama. Oh no, so came Brennan Clapper, Yates, all these people, Lauretta Lynch, all these people. We're in on it, and we're being completely and utterly corrupt. But Obama was above approach. He was above all this. None of us believe that we know that's a lie. How much of it can we prove? That's what we have

to see. You're in the freedom hunt. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Will I say that the mainstream media is full of frauds and liars? I really mean it, because I'm not a frauder a liar. So when I tell you that it's really, really true. We had some fantastic examples of this over the weekend, I mean, really really crystal clear stuff. And they went after the two most effective members of the Trump cabinet, and certainly the two most effective not just at their posts, but also

a dealing with the media, the media garbage. So the left is all upset because they really wanted General Flynn to be ruined and that was really important to them because this was the Remember, this was part of their whole General Flynn is he pleaded guilty. He pleaded guilty. That means he's bad and never around me. They're a bunch of like hysterical little children about this, and it turns out the whole thing was a sham and they forced to plead based on lies and pressure that they

hid from the court. And it was a fix. It was like a Stalinist show trial that the fix was in. This was not about justice. Okay, so they can cry all day, but the fix was in. We know that. But now they want to go after somebody else. They want to find some way to suggest that this was wrong, that Flynn shouldn't be exonerated, that they shouldn't move past. You know that we shouldn't be able to move past that initial false guilty plea force guilty play, you know.

And can I also just point out to you for a second, I haven't mentioned this on the year, but I've meant to how many times before have you seen liberals are you oh, he pleaded guilty, but that that doesn't mean anything? Tons of times? Tons of times. My friend and Coulter came on air with me recently on wr radio in New York and she said that, you know,

you look at the Central Park jogger case. Those kids were on video confessing and with detail, with adult relatives present who were who were telling them, Yet tell them what happened? You know, we know, you know, you know you did bad things and they confessed on video, and we're told that those can fashions don't count. So I mean the whole Oh, they pleaded guilt, You pleaded guilty. You don't get the question anything. Now, this is a new standard that libs the left has come up with

VERR Flynn, which is total crap as we know. But okay, now now I just had to note that I think that's very important for you because they have no standards once again, no standards, no principles. I mean, if these people were in charge, you know, I can tell you this right now, if whatever offense I could ever be guilty of against the state, irrespective of whether they knew my politics or not, I would want a conservative judge

and not a liberal judge. Not because I think that a conservative would view me favorably in some way, but because at least a conservative believes in the law. The liberal judge maybe has some has some policy bone to pick with people, or the liberal judge, you know, views himself or herself as being part of a giant social engineering experiment of progressivism and leveraging the power that he or she has from that bench as part of that process. So you can't can't look libs, you can't try them.

That's really what it comes. Can't trust libs, can't do it. Speaking of which, Chuck Todd, Chuck Todd, why this guy has a show You Meet the Press? You know, used to be Russer Show. And Russer was Russer was very widely liked in DC. I mean, he was a liberal, but he was at least he was a liberal that put on a good show of being reasonable. You know, made it made it seem to people he was a liberal, though, but he made it seem to people that he was

reasonable and did a good interview. Apparently. I never really watched the show, so I don't know. So I'm just basically on and what I've read and what I know, what I've heard. But Chuck Todd is a kind of you know, mealy mouthed kind of you I don't know. I don't understand what is the appeal of Chuck Todd. I mean, you know, he's friends with people who make decisions at NBC. I guess, oh it, he'll do exactly

what they tell him to do it. He's sort of yeah, he has this way with you know, well, I have varied to politics, and I really want to ask political questions. He's just I don't know, and it doesn't make sense to anybody who's paying attention to anything. But I can't imagine being Chuck Tod's audience. Yeah, this guy's really this guy's really impressive. He's really smart, he's really good on TV any of these things. The guy has no ability, no talent whatsoever, other than just sort of, you know,

weaseling his way through the corporate media. Infrastructure to get into a position of influence and authority, and now we're like, oh, Chuck Todd, I'm be saving a Tapper Todd. These people with the Sunday shows are horrible. They're horrible. They're just frauds. They pretend, oh, I'm just asking the real question, doing the real journalism. They're DNC hacks and it's a joke. That's why people in my business, a lot of them watch these Sunday shows and and then then they'll like

text me, say do you see this? And no, I didn't. I don't know. I'll watch the clip afterwards what I catch them being frauds, which is what we have for you coming up. But I have to take a quick for either here and then I'll come back and play with the media fraud on the other side because I got too excited about other side notes in my story. Stay with me. Thanks for listening to the bus said show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the iHeartRadio app,

or wherever you get your podcasts. All right, team, So, as promised, what was the most wildly dishonest thing the media did this weekend? I mean, this is a this is a competition on any given weekend, especially with the Sunday shows with the so called political journalists, their hacks, their liars, but the political journalist that run these shows,

and this was a great one. This is a great one because they even had to admit, kind of like meekly and off design, well maybe we shouldn't have done this. They had to admit that this was a grotesque misrepresentation. And so with that we have Chuck Todd here referring to what the attorney general. Remember, they're all very upset about the Flint situation. They're blaming the attorney They hate

Pompeo and they hate bar Right. They hate these two guys because they're smart, they're good at what they do, and they're both a big problem for attacking the Trump administration. Right. This isn't like the old days where you had Tillerson and Sessions. And I know some of you are always like Buck Sessions like this radio show, and he's such a nice guy and he's a gentleman, and I feel bad for him. He's just Sessions was not disloyal. He was just too much of a boy scout. He didn't

understand what he was up against. I do not think he's a disloyal guy at all. I think he was always a big proponent of the Trump agenda, even before a lot of other people were when he was a senator. But he got rolled, he got pushed aside, and he shouldn't have on the I mean, I was in the Oval office with the President when the President said, and this broke news at the time, I don't have an attorney general. He did have an attorney general, it was

Jeff Sessions, but he said I don't have one. So now he's got one with Bill Barr, who's kind of like, come on, what do you what do you yes, what do you guys think you're doing? Come on, you think you're gonna pull some over on me, kid, I've been around the block. Like that's Bill Barr, like it's just not happening. And then there's Pompeo is like, do you want to have an arm wrestling contest? Do you want to see who the big dog in the room is? You know, I'm always like, no, sir, no sir. So

both great members of the cabinet. And here is how Chuck Todd represented a response that Bill Barr has on the Flynn the dropping of charges against Flynn play clip one. You brought up Bill Barr, Peggy noon, and I want you to listen to this Bill Barr answer to a question about what will history say about this way? Do you hear this answer? Take a listen twin history looks back on this decision. How do you think it will be written? Well, history's written by the winner, so Sarge

depends on who's writing the history. I was struck, Peggy by the cynicism of the answer. It's a correct answer, but he's the attorney general. He didn't make the case that he was upholding the rule of law. He was almost admitting that, yeah, this is a this is a political job. I mean you just yeah. I had to let you hear the whole thing too, because understand this, they cut it in a way where it's clear, because the next sentence makes everything that Chuck Todd said untrue.

And they must know this, but they're so used to getting away with this crap, they're so used to the dishonesty and not being called out on it, that sometimes they just get so they get sloppy. And you know, in the Tim Russert area, or in the era, or in the Dan Ratherer or Cronkite or these guys nobody. No one's gonna check them. No one's gonna check them on this crap. You get away with whatever they want.

No one else has access to the raw tapes. No one else has access to the transcripts, right, I mean not really now? Oh no, we can see what was said in the interview, and remember this is this is what was actually said. Play clip two. When history looks back on this decision, how do you think it will be written? Well, history is written by the winner, so

it's largely depends on who's writing the history. But I think a fair history would say it was it was a good decision because it it upheld the rule of law, it helped it upheld the standards of the Department of Justice, and it undid what it was an an injustice. Does that sound like what was represented to you by that Sunday Show by Chuck Todd. There he says, look, histories, it was kind of a throwaway comment, like a preamble.

I mean, look, history is written by the winners. But if you want to know what I think about this, I think that it was the right move because it was the right move because it was just they took what was effectively a throwaway comment. You know, it would be like if I if I if someone asked me, what do you think about what's gone on here, you know with the flint case, and I said, look, I mean, you know, it is, it is what it is. But I think that we really need people to go get prosecuted,

who did this whatever. And they just cut that out and they're like, oh, Sex and says we're done. It is what it is. It is what it is. That's all he said. It is what it is, which I don't know. I don't even know what that means. But people say it a lot. Jerry Seinfeld, right, producer Mark and his stand up, he calls it out. He's like, don't ever, don't ever do the it is what it is? Yes, correct, Buck,

Yes he does, and he's right about that. There were some very there are some very good moments on that one. The it is what it is is definitely something that you shouldn't you shouldn't go around saying. I try to avoid it also for a lot of people. And I never like to say this to people, but try not to say, like all the time, I'm hearing it more and more a lot of people like you know, like I mean, like there's a lot of that. Also fascinating when you hear Obama again now that he doesn't have

all that the trappings of office and everything. Oh a lot of a lot of this on a lot of it on coninal talks like us. Uh, there's the little there's a lot of a lot of pauses he has as Its interesting because we were always told that he was the greatest, most gifted rhetorically gifted politician of our lifetime, of our lifetimes, I should say, and perhaps of all time. And m no false. I mean, I'm somebody that spends a lot of time doing a lot of talking without

any notes and without a prompter. And I know when someone's good. I know when someone's gifted. Obama is not not even not even a little bit good good on a prompter speech. But so are a lot of actors. But I digress back to the Chuck tadd thing here, Come on, do we think that that was an accident? They cut off the next sentence where he says he answers the question clearly and says that you know, this

is really what the answer is. But they took a sort of throwaway thought when he's having a conversation with a journalist and act like that's his answer to the question. You know, it would be like if somebody said, well, you know, do you believe it this might have gone up? We said, well, you know, you can never know with absolute certainty, comma. But I think that the Obama administration had this problem all the way at the very top.

If they cut off the comma and just said, oh, he said, you can never really know, that is how dishonest these people are. And then they put out some little tweet on this and it's looked that was one instance.

That was one instance, and then you had sixty minutes, which why do people still watch these legacy media outlets with a bunch of clowns who were not impressive, who just have inherited these huge platforms that were built over many decades when they had no competition and now they're just incumbents and there's nothing special or unique about But where so many people are habituated they want to watch, Oh, I want to watch you know, the ABC news broadcast.

You really watch a news broadcast, It's thirty minutes long, and at the end that always has something about you know, someone who's like sing saving a mother duck in a pond somewhere, or you know, oh, or like look at this like happy story of like a dog reunited with this owner that they got separated for a while. That's ah, it's you know. I was an intern at CBS Eving News with Dan Rather before I ever thought i'd work in media, and I just remember just thinking everybody there

was like pretty terrible. I really did not Dan Rather was. It was a was a total unimpressive bolt. And I thought that the people that worked there were kind of mean to each other, and everyone thought what they're doing is much more important though what it was. Remember this is CBSV News in two thousand, before the National Guard documents forgery scandal. But I was everyone there, I thought, oh, it was so important Dan Rather, it was so important

to all put in this. I'm like, this guy's a buffoon. Why do you all listen to him? It really is like a cult. I mean some media apat apparati or apparatuses, whatever word would be hy. They're almost like a cult people believe. I mean I had some guy who's very senior guy in news media say that he thought Diane Sawyer was the most brilliant human being he'd ever met. And I was like, you're You're a senior news producer, even the guy I had been in the game for

like forty years. You're a senior news producer. You sat down with you know world famous Yeah, we know world famous scientists, and you know literary geniuses and you know, I don't know chess masters and all kinds. Diane Sawyers most brilliant person. Yep, oh, most brilliant person ever. I guess it's fun to believe, you know, it's fun to live in fantasyland. But we got another instance here of the media malfeasians. I know, I know, I'm just I'm

leaning into this one today. M here you get what sixty minutes this is what got me diverted because I just love to trash these legacies. These legacy outlets need to go away. I mean, I will not be happy until CNN has to be completely rebranded as like the Home Shopping Network Part two. I will not be happy until that happens. And it's gonna be a long fight because they gotta be war chest and a lot of legacy brand build up. But it's a terrible trash organization.

That should should go away, it should have to close its doors. But here is sixty minutes slamming the Trump administration for something that slimming Pompeo for something that he didn't say play for. Initially President Trump praised China, but in the following weeks, testing in the US failed to catch up to the need. Vital equipment was short, bodies

filled refrigerated trailers, and science was continuously challenged. And then I see the disinfectant Nazi out in a minute one minute, And is there a way we can do something like that by injection? As the US led the world in illness and death, the White House moved the focus to the Chinese government. That's where this began. Last Sunday, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo attempted to resurrect a debunked theory

that the virus was man made in China. It's claiming that the Secretary of State of the United States was resurrecting a debunk theory. This is the claim that he's making. Let's hear what Secretary Pompeo actually said. And this is what CBS or what sixty minutes CBS was referencing. Play five Your Office of the DNI says the consensus, the scientific consensus, was not manmade or genetically modified. That's right.

I agree with that. Yeah, I've seen their analysis. I've seen the summary that you saw that was released publicly. I have no reason to doubt that that is accurate. Okay, So, just to be cleared, you do not think it was manmade or genetically modified. I've seen what the Intelligence Committee said. I have no reason to believe that they've got it wrong. He has seen what the intelligence community says and as no reason believe it's wrong. How is that resurrecting a

debunked conspiracy theory. Huh So they're a lot. So notice this is over the course of one weekend. They straight up some of the most revered, esteemed journalists and journalism platforms that exists for the mainstream journal world. And they are they flatly lie. I mean they lie about what the Attorney General said, They lie about what the Secretary of States is. These are lies. And these are the

people that are doing Trump laws Trump laws. They have no honesty, they have no integrity, There are no position to be calling on anyone else for anything, but they think they do. You're in the freedom Hunt. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Icon Very Goldwater went to the White House and actually told Richard Nixon that it

was time to leave. That's not what we're even asking here, though I believe America would be far better off and senior citizens would be far safer and we can face this crisis far better if Donald Trump did leave office. That's not going to happen, but we'd be better off without any president. That's the morning Joe me could take.

I mean, these people really have become a parody every morning, absurd the stuff that they say, and you can never forget that they I mean, Joe Scarborough was all about Trump. Trump was gray hat. I'm on a show all the time, and now it's it's personal for him. Look when you're when you're when you're a millionaire who is doing the bidding of the libs over at MSNBC every day. You

know the Libs say jump, you say how high? You know that then must erode your your sense not just of self respect, but over time, your just sense of decency and that internal calm that people can draw a palm when things get tough, and you just become a shrill loon like Joe Scarborough has become which is which is a shame. I mean, this is a guy who used to be a conservative apparently now it's now. I don't know what you'd even describe him as, but he's

entirely unhelpful. And while we're at this juncture of reopening, as I mentioned the top of the show, show Georgia has reopened and it is not a big, horrific disaster. We're two weeks into the Georgia reopening and they have fewer cases than they've ever had. Now, two weeks is the incubation period. So someone explained that to me, if the reopen, and with such a terrible idea, how could we be through a full incubation period of reopen and not see a big spike in cases? Right? Why why

wouldn't we see this? Oh this, it's slower. It's slower, buck, Give it two more weeks, give it two more weeks, wait for the second wave. These people have been wrong about everything. You know that. Now they're writing stories about how we're facing a glut, we're facing an oversupply of ventilators. We went from a few weeks of oh my gosh, we're not gonna have ventilators. Everyone's gonna and as I was telling you, ventilators are not a particularly good treatment

for this at all. Ventilators an absolute last resort because they don't know what else to do. So, you know, it wasn't like, oh, if we get enough ventilators, everybody's gonna be okay, but oh, we're gonna run out of ventilators. And then it turns out now we're gonna have We're gonna have warehouses full of ventilators that we don't even know what to do with. What are we gonna do

with all these ventilators? But this is another Again they make these projections, they're wrong, and then they expect us not to care about the wrong projections. So it's very frustrating. But we see this play out over and over again, and we also now see that the people in charge they're recognizing and we're going to get to another week. On Thursday, unemployment numbers will come out. It's gonna get

really ugly, my friends. It's gonna get worse. We're gonna get to at this rate, will be a thirty million unemployed probably by the end of the week, officially unemployed at least cose to maybe twenty five million, whatever the number is, I mean, the number is always less than what it actually is. And I see this, and I recognize time is not on our side, as I've been telling you with the economy. And here's Minuchin saying that it's not just a risk of like a bad economic year.

There is systemic risk to the entire economy if we do not open this thing soon play clip twelve. So if we do this carefully, working with the governors, I don't think there's a considerable risk. Matter of fact, I think there's a considerable risk of not reopening. Here talking about what would be permanent economic damage to the American public. And we're going to reopen in a very thoughtful way that gets people back to work safely, that has them

social distance. That is what we're doing. And now this is where we get into the what the Wall Street Journal calls a swoosh recovery, which means, you know, a v would be got we got clawber. But then we come right out of it, which is what we all wanted. That's not going to happen. Businesses are going to be opening at best at a fraction of their capacity. Demand will be a fraction of what it was, This is

going to be slow. We are going we have definitely chosen to be in a recession that will last months, if not years, that's for sure. Are we in a depression that we're going to have to desperately try to pull ourselves out of just into a recession? I think that's where we really are. And there's this greater recognition right now of that truth. I mean, here's the piece

in the Wall Street Journal today. Factory furloughs across the US are becoming permanent closings, a sign of the heavy damage the coronavirus pandemic and shutdowns are exerting on the industrial economy. Makers of Dishware in North Carolina, furniture Foam in Oregon, and cunning Boards in Michigan are among the company's closing factories. In recent weeks. Caterpillar Incorporated said it's

considering closing plants in Germany. Boat and motorcycle maker Polaris plans to close a plan in Syracuse, Indiana, and tire maker Goodyear Tire and Rubber plans to close a plant in Gadsden, Alabama. Those factory shutdowns will further erode an industrial workforce that has been shrinking as a share of

the overall US economy for decades. While manufacturing output last year's surpassed a previous peak from two thousand and seven, factory employment never returned to levels reached before the financial crisis. Some of these furloughs, some of these slowdowns, are turning into firings and shutdowns. Those will not be turned back on because for them to come back on, you would need the demand in order to make those sustainable businesses and to make those plants worth keeping open. We're not

going to be back at that level of demand. We have a lot of people that don't want to go back to work as it is right now. Even if they can, this is going to be a fight, my friends.

you get your podcasts. So I'm back here in NYC where we're on lockdown and everyone's wearing masks in their cars, on their bicycles, acting like if they get within fifty feet of somebody, they're going to get you know, this terrible virus and who and we're not opening anytime soon here, But I want to know what's going on in other parts of the country. Here, I keep reaching out to friends of mine in the media world who can illuminate

what more sane regions are doing right now. And with that, we got our friend Ben Ferguson in the mix here. Ben is a Nashal syndicated radio host of the Ben Ferguson Show. You can follow him on Twitter, on Facebook check out his his podcast. Mister Ben Ferguson from the Great State of Texas. Thanks man, pleasure. It's about time we start taping the conversations that you and I have

all the time anyway, right, Yeah, I will. I always tell people that the best conversations that happen in conservative media is like when none of us think anyone's listening or watching, we just let it rip. So you and I have that, we've we've had that kind of rapport for years because for those who don't know, UM, Ben and I have both uh and Ben, I believe you are you are still there for the time being. UH. So you know what I know. I can't ask you to say, but Ben and I have both worked at CNN.

I can say that. So there you go. Ben and I've both worked at CNN as my friends as conservatives. Uh so you can imagine the hardest job you can get in TV, is what I say. Oh, you can imagine what that's like. Um, although I will say, have you ever done have you ever done Bill Maher show? That is probably the hardest show. Well years ago. I mean, he is one of the fun hard shows. But that's

that's the toughest can set it? Yeah, I've done in a couple of times because they go four on one against you, and also the crowd is against you, and it's just like being in the Thunderdome with your hands tied behind your back and you're like, what's going on? So? Yeah? Anyway, all right, so let's sound Brady. It's like Tom Brady playing anywhere in the country on the road. Right. Everybody hates you because you went yeah, So tell me, my friend,

what is going on? First? You know, I know not only you're a host, but you're also a business owner entrepreneur. How are I mean you got a great barbecue place up in Tennessee and a gun range there have you been able to you know, where are we with keeping them open? Reopening? What's the business looking like? Tell me about p p P. Walk me through how that's how that's going. Yeah. Well, I mean there's there's so many things here that we're going to learn from this and

we hope that we can fix. And I'll give you an example. The day that PPP came through, because our business was clearly going to apply for it, we had, you know, dozens of employees. I have a barbecue restaurant, we have a gun range and a gun store, all under twenty five thousand square feet. It's a large facility. We had a little more Alexander On from the Senate from Tennessee literally right after they passed PPP, I mean within hours of the passing it, and we asked him like, hey,

here's what we need to know. How do we get in line? How does this work? There's gonna be a rush on the bank. What do we need to do? And they talked about this being orderly. Well, then the reality set him. We were there, and I would consider myself to have kind of like insider information. Right, you have a senator on who helped write the bill. We got our loan application Friday and morning literally when the bank opened, and then the bank said all right, we

got everything. A couple days later, they called back, Hey, we had to change this. We need this now from you. Immediately ran it over the bank and said okay, we're good and they said yes, and they got new guidance a couple of days later and they said, hey, we need you, we need this or we need to fill

out this former we're changing this form. We ran down there and did out come to find out what was really happening all along is the federal government was giving a fee for every loan of PPP money that was given out. We found out the banks we're basically saying whichever loan is the biggest, goes to the front of

the line. Now Congress knew about this. We told them about this because we were being told by the banks, and we had people calling in saying, just so you know, if you're at a larger bank, get ready to get screwed, even if you got in day one or day two in this loan, because they're pushing your ten and twelve and eight thousand and fifteen thousand, our loans to the bottom of the barrel every single day when the bigger

loans are coming in. So we literally called Washington and said, hey, guys, y'all when this money runs out, you need to fix in the second time. And sure enough, but guess what happened. They did not fix it. They had the ability to say to the banks that loans must be done in the order and we'd say are received. They could have fixed this in the law for that second round of PPP money. It was deliberate, from what I understand, from big bankers and others, especially those close to Nancy Pelosi,

to not fix that loophole. And so what ended up happening is we now are seeing small businesses that did not get any money the first and or second time. Now, we luckily got our e number Wednesday night around ten o'clock after raising utter hell with the bank, and I think they realized this is going to be bad. Pr they got in the first day. We got to get this money to this small business and we were able

to get our money right before it right out. But but you see now that what has really happened is the banks were incentivized to give these loans to the biggest loan amount that was being requested, not based on who came in and the order in which they received. The government knew this was a problem, certainly within a week or so, and they chose deliberately not to fix this.

So in Middle America right now, unfortunately, we're hearing from people every day and to my show that are called in and saying we never got our money, and this money is now going to be gone and no one's getting it that really needed it or not. A lot of people, I should say you are not getting a hid.

Most of them are in that twenty five thousand to about five thousand range where the loans that were left out deliberately because Washington yet again screw the American people and genuine small businesses by hooking these banks up with these huge fees. We're speaking to Ben Ferguson of the Ben Ferguson Show. Man's also got a great head of hair. So those you only know his voice, just just put it out there. You know, hair game respects hair game. I'm gonna hold on to it as long as I

can buy right. Hair game likes hair games. So tell me this man, how are your employees than doing. Have you had to furlough? And also are you able to in Tennessee? Are you guys back at you know, are you doing takeout? Are you back at what level? Of capacity are you at? When do you think people do your employees there think that folks would come and do sit down maybe at a smaller you know, the twenty five percent capacity I think is what's being talked about

in Texas. You know, tell me about how you're seeing that and also just when you're seeing with the Texas reopen So I know you you got a hand in Tennessee, but you're down in Texas. Yeah, No, it's it's it's interesting to see what's happened here. And it's really an issue of there's three major problems that the restaurants are having. I'll start with my barbecue restaurant, Ferguson's Barbecue. We're at

fifty percent capacity. Well, there's no business structure that allows for a restaurant to make a living at fifty percent occupancy. So yes, we are open right now, and yes we're using that PPV money to keep our employees going, but we're losing money every day that we're open because it's impossible for us. We don't have a drive through. We are a sit down restaurant, and with social distancing and taking basically half of our tables out and we can have a full restaurant, we could be on a weight

and we will not make a living. So we're basically saying we hope that that as we're in what the Governor's referred to phase one of the opening, which is and hopefully will get to that phase two, which will give us more tables right in the restaurant. But there's no way the restaurants that we've talked to, unless you have a drive through window, unless you have a massive takeout business that you can survive in phase one or

phase two of the reopening. We've seen the same thing in Texas where it was twenty five in Houston where I have twenty five percent of occupancy, most restaurants that I know that had the option. Now, i'll give you a great example. Thursday night, my wife and I we went out for the very first time and went two months to a great restaurant. We got there made a reservation because we were thinking, well, you know, finally the restaurants are reopened, let's make sure we have a reservation.

We got there, we were the only table that set inside. There was a couple of tables outside. There was a single table inside, and we asked them, how are you guys doing. They said, if it wasn't for takeout, we'd be screwed. They had one waiter for the whole restaurant, they had one chef, and they had one person doing the dishes. So skeleton crew here. And that's the problem.

And what I think the President understands is at some point you've got to allow these people to open up, because no one in the restaurant world is going to be able to survive on a fifty or twenty five percent documency. Restaurants is the hardest thing I've probably ever done in my career. It is slim margins. I mean, we may sell three grand in food, but you may only make three hundred dollars. It depends on what you're selling,

it depends on how long they sit. There's the restaurant business is a three to five six percent margin on average. So you've got to be open every day, and you've got to have a really good staff, and you got to watch your cast flow. You know, barbecue has a little bit better margin. That's honestly one of the reasons why we chose to do it. I'm a barbecue guy, been competing love it for years, being from Memphis. But these other restaurants that have really big overheads, they have

premier locations. I don't know how thirty forty percent of them don't disapprove by the end of this, And I don't think that's a crazy number. You can imagine here in New York City, where commerce show real estate is billions and billions and billions of dollars of revenue of taxes. I mean, it's an enormous part. I mean I'm in Midtown Manhattan. I mean I'm surrounded by some of the most famous office buildings in the world. That's where I live,

and that's where I'm doing the show. And when are we going to get back to having these these sort of uh you know, cube farmer existences. Are we ever anyway? So you can imagine that that's going to be a huge problem. But I also want to ask, also, you go out to eat, when you when you got to eat, those tables are so close together because that real estate costs so much in New York's a great example. I would not be surprised if you guys lose thirty five

of the businesses their restaurant business. This is what I wanted to ask. You can't do that? What are you hearing from You know, I'm here in the city. I have some friends who are restauranturs I friends or restaurant tours in DC. We know the restaurant business is in rough shape right and that's not going to change anytime soon. And you know, I hope you and yours are able to see it through, and you know, God willing you and I will be sitting down having a a sweet tea.

And I'm really a brisket guy. I mean that's kind of my go to So I've got your brisket bro I got you're sure you guys have that covered at Fergus's. But on the on the other small business, see, we actually so Mother's Day we did I think they said, Miss Kathy who runs our pit. I think we did twenty seven briskets take out for Mother's Day. That's awesome. I wish I could have been one of them. It's one of those business is amazing. I was like, good,

keep selling them. And now we have a shortage of meat. That's the other thing. I mean, we've got we had our we had our us food struck show up on Thursday. And this goes back to this country and opening back up but this is serious. So I saw this shortage coming again. Every once a while doing radio like you and I do and TV, you're blessed with information that you can really dissect and say, how is this going

to relate to a business? And I saw that these these pork facilities were shutting down and beef facilities were shutting down, these shortages that were coming. So we opened last week for the first time on Monday. We had frozen enough of our food when we had the instant shut down that we were okay for about a week. Our food truck came on Thursday. There was no briskets, There was no shoulders, there were no ribs, there was no sausage. Now, I'm a barbecue place. What do you sell? Right? Like?

What's left if you have none of those things on your menu? I literally called my dad and said, Dad, can you go to Cosco? Nothing? They were completely bone dry. I said, he went to Walmart. I literally called other barbecue places in Memphis where I knew the owners, and I said, do you guys have any supply in One of the guys actually let us go to his restaurant and buy some supply from him to make it through the weekend. Then we had to open up another account

with a smaller food farm. Luckily I was able to talk about this on the radio. We had people call us saying, hey, I can fulfill your order. We opened up another Cisco account with it. You know, we usually just had one supplier and so we were lucky. But then businesses right now we're seeing Windy's running out of Hamburger meet because there a fresh meat place around the country and now they're having no more hammurger meat. We can't find a deep friee for example, they are gone.

We went, we went to every store we get our hands on, use Craigslist, eBay, all of them right Facebook, Marketplace. Not as single deep freeze within three hundred miles that we could even go get if we got the food to put it in the deep freeze. So that's the second wave of this. All this shut down takes a lot of time to reopen it back up. You've got the COVID nineteen. These factories where these workers stand side by side, and that's where a lot of people are

getting hit right now. As restaurants, even the ones that are getting open. If you if you have a heavy protein based menu, meat and poultry you're in. You're going to be hurting probably for next month or so, is what we've been told from our suppliers. We won't get on on a minute or two left. We're speaking of Ben Ferguson. But Ben, I just want to get your take before we have to run into a break here of what's going on with gun buying in time? I mean in New York the answer is here zero because

you're not allowed to buy guns here. What's going what's going on in Texas? Massive? What has happened here? We saw a couple different things here. We saw a massive run at our gun store from Asian Americans who were very concerned about retaliation, retaliation crimes against them because it's coming from China. Talked to a lot of those individuals personally, and I understood their fear, and I hated it they even felt that way. But that was kind of the

first wave. The second was Home Defense went through the route because people were hearing about police officers that were getting coronavirus. In Memphis, for example, more than a hundred police officers are off the streets in quarantine, so you have fewer officers on the street. And then the third wave that we saw was business owners where everybody knows which businesses are dormant right which are closed down. And so you started seeing these significant increase in burglaries because

it was sitting ducks. These businesses are sitting there vacant. You know, they're vacant. Entire shopping centers are vacant. You have to worry about people watching you. And so we ran out of nine millimeters, ran out of forties. Then we had the run on ammunition. We ran out of

every caliber that we get our hands. Unluckily, we were you know, blast slash smart and made sure that we had a manufacturer in our hometown for American made ammunition in which we prided ourselves on custom making in our own box, so we were able to keep AMMO coming in. But right now, if you go to a distributor and you try to order nine millimeter two two six or are you know AAR fifteen rounds for people to keep it simple or forty, you may not get it for

six months. That's how far the backlog is for most gun stores. Ben Fergus and everybody, Ben, thanks so much. Man. I look forward to going shooting an eating some brisket with you. Thanks for joining us. Thanks man, you're in the Freedom Hunt. This is the Buck Sex and Show podcast. You begin to get worried that basic not just institutional norms, but our basic understanding of the rule of law is it risk. That was the Obama quote. I had to take another another crack at this one, and that was

the Obama quote that I mentioned the first hour. So our basic understanding of the rule of law is at risk because we're not prosecuting a guy that clearly should never have been prosecuted. And it's a disgrace that the FBI did what it did, and disgrace the DJ went along with it, and a disgrace that the Mueller probe was a bunch of partisan hacks who were abusing the

law for the most clear and indefensible political purposes. But there's Obama weighing in, I meant, and then you have Brian's Brad Stouter, who's like, wow, that do it double? A time out of Flint story play fifteen. It's so disappointing to look at what we're seeing from right wing media these days, where there's such an obsession with the deep state and these revelations about the Russia probe and

the decision about Michael Flynn. They're treating the Michael Flinn's story like it's a bigger deal than the death of two thousand Americans a day. We're seeing this on Fox and Friends and other shows. Oh if I can't just chuck this more on up, somebody please, it's just appalling. Nay, like no one streaming. There's a bigger thing, it's another new Can we only talk about coronavirus all day long? Because that's what we've basically been doing for eight weeks. Now?

Are there allowed to be other news stories? This from the network CNN that ran with the Russia collusion madness, Russia, Russia, Russia every day for three years, and it was all a lie. It was a fantasy. It was a fiction. Snelter, Tapper, Cooper, Cuomo, Burnette go through, the whole crew, all just propagating lives all the time, having these a horrible legal analysts spewing bull crap on the air. Oh and now that the truth comes out, why are you talking about the flat

case yet? Jerk? Thanks for listening to the Bus Sesson Show podcast. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcast, the iHeart Radio app, or wherever you get your podcasts to mask or not to mask. There's the question many of us are asking these days. We ask about the mask the evidence for outdoor transmission. As I've told you many times, well, there is a lot of evidence that it's not a risk,

that it's not something that you should be concerned about. Now, when I say it's it's not a risk, you know there there's always a risk of something that could happen that you can't But you don't live your life, you know. I couldn't tell you that Producer Mark won't get hit by hail because there was some hail in New York today that happens to hit him in the temple and happens to cause an aneurysm and he falls down and no more, Producer Mark. That would be we would be

super sad, Producer Mark. But I'm not going to tell you not to go outside because there was hal There was hail earlier today and you could be hit by a piece of it. You know what I mean. Why are we killing me off in this ridiculous scenario. I don't know, but I'm just trying to come up with a ridiculous scenario. And I just wanted everyone to pay attention, and they'd be sad. If we lost producer Mark to a piece of hail, everybody would there'd be a lot

of tears from Team Buck. Yeah, now, Baton beat away, the thanks right exactly. You're not worried about it. You still go outside, but I can't guarantee you that can't happen outdoor mask outdoor transmission rather of this disease is not a high enough risk to justify outdoor masks wearing. Now in New York, the guidance people forget this. The guidance is if you can't social distance and you're out

in public, wear a mask. It's not you have to wear a mask all the time if you're outside, but that's what everyone's taken it to be, and other places other states have also had this. We're in Florida, and there's gonna be some bleeped out language here because this person was kind of losing it. In Florida, you had a woman who clearly snapped and went nuts and yelling at people because of they're not wearing a mask. Play seventeen.

I'm a little fool pissed off at the simple fact that people around this town don't wear the mask, don't wear their gloves. I just finished showing a house right now. The lady was pissed off because I asked her to wear a mask, Like seriously, woman, and that she's coughing two seconds later, like it's no big deal. We're in this because as like that, because people out there on their boats doing all their food partying. No I'm not jealous, No I'm not, because you know what, I have a god.

I could go out with my friends and party. But there's a time and place for everything, and now it's not the time and place. Now is the time and place to be taking care of yourselves and the people who around you. There are people dying, There are people in hospitals risking their lives because a mother like you, who won't wear your mask, who don't wear your gloves, who don't work practice social distancing. Yes, Miami's a party town, but the truth is, you know what, there's a time

and place for partying and everything. Now it's not the time to party. Where are your mask? Where are your gloves? But we're gonna be quarantined all the way to god September and we may be spending New Years in our house because of you fool out there who don't wear your mask. Now, I understand that was a deeply ineloquent rhet, but it is representative of a wider sentiment out there that people have now become mask panicked. There is mask panic in fact, bit of a playoff words there where

if you don't wear masks, people now want to blame you. Now, I find this very troubling because we see the state, the sort of big es state. Sometimes it's an actual state, sometimes the federal government. Sometimes it's the apparatus of the government, that bureaucracies, the public health authorities, and the media. But the people that want control are using masking now as a This is now a barometer of how much you're

willing to be controlled. And I get a sense that they are encouraging us turning on each other over this issue, that we now are at odds over this as people, and there'll be blamed now for anyone who doesn't wear wear a mask, even though masking in public is completely absurd. It's absurd. There's no basis for this other than just people. Now, if you want to, if you want to wear a mask because it makes you feel better, fine, I'm not

trying to take away anyone's right. Now, Remember the mask is really to protect other people, it's not so much to protect you. You can still get this in the eyes, you can still breathe this in, especially if it's a cloth mask. It does not prevent any transmission of the disease. And if masks were enough, my friends, no healthcare workers would be getting this at all, right, I mean, because unless they're touching their eyes or doing something that's really egregious,

they're wearing masks. They have PPE. I know there's been a run on PPE, and we'll return to that in a moment about what China has been doing with that. But a mask is not enough. Otherwise well then all you can do is wear a mask, and I can get the disease right, And healthcare workers are wearing masks, so you know, if you're being exposed to a lot of this in the air, it's not pulling out all the viral particles. As I said, it can go into

your eyes. This is it's smaller than it's smaller than bacteria's. We know about viruses. We all learn this in like the fifth grade. So if it's in the air or not, but it disperses an open air. We've been over this before. There's really there's really an infinitesimal risk of contracting this in open error. But I don't like that that people are now mobilizing the masses through fear against those of us who are trying to get back to the beginnings

of normalcy. One of the themes today on the show has been how the economy is going to be in a more precarious place than a lot of people realize. Even as we're opening, you're going to have vastly suppressed demand, enormous amount of debt, enormous amount of destroyed businesses out there that we'll have to find a way to reopen. They haven't made the profits they've needed. Just paying your employees is not the same thing as having a successful business.

They haven't, you know. And who is going to bring back demand for things like incredibly expensive office space in major cities. Who is going to bring back demand for the subways? New York alone is facing billions and billions of dollars of shortfall because of taxes. Every state that is shut down is going to have shortfalls as a

result of this. So we are just we're just trying to get to the point where we start to piece back together our society after has been economically flattened, and there are people that are saying, no, don't piece it together. We're all gonna die if you try to start to rebuild. What's the alternative? What are we really going to do? We're gonna sit here and wait. Therapeutics are not going

to save us. A vaccine is not coming anytime soon, and we cannot sit and wait for a plan that is just a fantasy plan about test and trace, so we know about every case we can stop every person who gets this. You know, the problem we have right now in testing and most most of the country is over capacity, meaning that people aren't taking all the tests that are out there. You know, they could do ten thousand tests a day in some places, they're only do

in two thousand tests a day in some states. What are what are you going to do? Well, that's actually that's actually an important and important place that I want to just take a pause and bring you up to speakcause we keep hearing about how other countries have controlled this, let's do what they do. We keep hearing that, Well, here's a thread on Twitter from somebody who is a I believe he's a professor or he's talking about what

he's learned from a professor in South Korea. And here is the here's the thread which which is a remarkable, a remarkable series of steps. And I check these out of the weekend and it and it adds up. This is what this is what we're hearing about what's going on in in South Korea because we're told, oh, we could, we could do what they do and and here oh he goes as an American South Korea. It's very interesting to me, the star contrast of how different the two

countries response to coronavirus is. This gentleman's name is Michael came on Twitter this this one completely megaviral over the weekend, this tweet, and it's this whole thread of what of what's going on in that country? And we should know he's telling you people say, oh, we'll do it like South Korea. Here's what they're doing in South Korea, folks, And they still have cases and they still have people

dying from it. Quote upon arrival, they take your temperature at the airport and ask if you've experienced any symptoms. If you have, they move you to a separate area and give you a coronavirus test. If you haven't, they take you to another area and interview you. They also install ankle bracelets. You are required to install an app on your phone and enable location tracking all the time. You are required to self report symptoms in the app twice a day. If you don't have symptoms, you need

to report that too. This goes on for a period of fourteen days. During this time, you are not allowed to leave the quarantine dormitory. They put you in a dormitory or your home if you've chosen to self isolate at home. So if you don't have a home, you go into a quarantine dormitory mandated by the state. You cannot take public transportation or taxi, and you cannot self isolate in a hotel or airbnb. If you don't have a home, you must use the dorm. If you break quarantine,

you will find ten thousand US dollars and face jail time. Also, they check your location on the phone frequently. My wife had her location checked thirty seven times in a three day span, and they've called enterprising folks who leave their phone at home and go out. During this self isolation, you cannot have contact with anyone during this time. They give you special trash bags to throw away your trash in, and people in hazmat suits come and collect your trash

upon request. You are assigned to a caseworker who is responsible for making sure you are following all the orders. They will call you and text you to make sure you are okay. They will also send you care packages that contain a lot of food, gloves and masks, etc. If there is a new coronavirus case in your general area, same city or district, you get a public safety alert on your phone that tells you about the person age, male, female, city and provides updates as they receive them. I forgot

to mention. Korea also has mobilized their army to provide more operations and logistics support at the airport. We were required to get a COVID nineteen tests within three days of arriving, which is the only activity that's allowed to break quarantine. You have to do this in coordination with the caseworker. I mean there's absolutely no protests or demonstrations

about the anti freedom measures or invasion of privacy. Everyone seems to accept these measures, while we still take precautions like wearing masks, washing hands, etc. I feel pretty confident that the government knows everyone who has coronavirus and is tracking things very closely. Contrast this with the situation in the US. No one really knows everyone who has coronavirus, so you have to assume everyone has it and there's no actionable plan. Can you imagine trying to do this

in America? This country is just not I mean at least half of us not going to comply with this ankle bracelets, monitoring, checking in with government authorities multiple times a day, What are your symptoms? Where are you? You're staying in this government to prove quarantine home if you don't have a home, ten thousand dollars, fine, if you decide to go out and get a sandwich, my friends, does anyone really think that we could do this, We

would do this, we should do this. That's what's going on in South Korea, and South Korea still has cases of the virus, people still die from it. Can you imagine this degree. The government's gonna put an ankle bracelet on you like a criminal and monitor you through your own smartphone app multiple times a day, and you have no choice. You have to comply with this for a disease that kills less than one percent of the people who get it, and we've already had about a third

in New York City of all people get it. We're gonna We're gonna do that. You're gonna do that in states that have had less than a thousand fatalities from this ankle brace. Think of the massive program here, the plan, hundreds of millions of people in this country, twenty million illegals. Just well, you know, we've got more illegals, and they've got people in a lot of these countries that are trying these different measures. I mean, I think South Korea's

got fifty million, Sweden's got ten million. You look at these, and Sweden's done the opposite approach of they'll like, let people live life. Sweden was right by the way, and everyone I love people keep saying, oh, we're not like Sweden enough to model, to use their approach as a model. We're like South boat let's do the South Korea maneuver. You think we're like, we're more like South Korea culturally,

economically and politically than we are like Sweden. I mean, I guess you can make it a case, but I don't know we're not going to do the South Korea model, So people who are sent yelling tests in trace, this is just a delay. This is a fantasy because they don't want to admit that we have to open We have to open the country up. It's not perfect. It's not perfect. Now, people have been dying every single day of lockdown. Thousands and thousands and thousands of them died

during lockdown. So lockdown, we assume saved all these lives, but is it really saving lives? Just look at what's going on in the nursing homes. How much worse would it have been in the nursing homes if we had just told people to social distance but keep going to work. These are the questions that a lot of people in charge don't want to answer because they've forced us. We're in a pandemic and they forced us into a depression that did not have to be. That's what the real

problem is that they have. You're in the Freedom Hunt. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. And we also know from their own customs data that they vacuumed up virtually all of the world's personal protective equipment, including over two billion masks. And we also know that today what China is doing sitting on that stockpile of what we call PPE is they're selling it at profits, hearing prices

to some and to other countries. They're actually putting pressure on those countries to deny that virus came from China, or to talk about Taiwan or do other things. China hoarding PPE when they knew that this was about to hit all these countries all over the world. And there's even more than that. I mean, look, the China relationship between not just the US, but the world in China is never going to be the same after this, which is a good thing. This has been. This has been

a wake up call. It is a necessary wake up call for us in this country that China should not be treated like it's a nation that if it just becomes wealthier and more influential, is going to be happy with that and everyone's going to live happily ever after and the rest of the world that's not the case.

China is a economically rapacious, authoritarian regime that has aspirations of global dominance, of being the hegemon, of pushing the United States aside, and this current competition we're in for stabilizing and reopening our societies. This is a civilizations in the balance kind of moment. How are we going to end up in this whole thing versus how is the Chinese government going to do? This is a question that we're all going to have to face. We're all gonna

have to take we should be taking very seriously. Right now, it looks like China might be able to get up and running faster than we are after being knocked down by this virus that they caused and then hid from the rest of the world. And on top of that, they're also using this as an opportunity. Even when we would think that the world perhaps is linked arm in arm, all pushing all fighting against this virus. Even when you think that's the case, guess what, the Chinese government is

still looking to gain advantage in this whole process. Us to accuse China of trying to hack vaccine data as virus redirects cyber attacks. That's quite a headline from the New York Times today. Here's what they're telling us. The FBI and the Department of Homeland Security are preparing to issue a warning that China's most skilled hackers and spies are trying are working to steal American research and the crash effort to develop vaccines and treatments for the coronavirus.

The efforts are part of a surge in cyber theft and attacks by nation seeking advantage in the pandemic. That's right, China is viewing this moment when we're there's a few reasons for vulnerability here. We are distracted by the pandemic, we are wounded and slowed down by the pandemic. And there's also a greater sense of openness and transparency around

a lot of proprietary pharmaceutical, medical and scientific information. Right we're all supposed to be doing what we can to beat this virus, and I've I've talked to doctor friends here in New York who are saying that this is a moment in time. They've never seen anything like it where there's so much free sharing of information among the global medical community. Now hasn't really, I mean, it's been helpful, but it has not created any major breakthrough yet against

the virus. But in that environment, the Chinese government is having its state sponsored hackers and state paid hackers. I mean, some of these are people at work for the Chinese government. You know, they have some that are there's plausible deniability with the hacking. There's others that are just the Chinese Communist Parties internal security apparatus doing this at the behests of the Chinese military and the Chinese government. They're trying

to use us as an opportunity to steal more. Once again, this is what they do. They steal sensitive and valuable information, and that is what they're up to right now. And it's um, it's just wrong. It's just wrong. Are we going to hold them accountable for this? I mean that's the most obviously, Buck is like, it's naughty what they're doing. No, I know, But are we gonna No? I don't think we. I think we're too busy and they know that we're

focused on other things. So even while they're trying to steal vaccine information from us, we can't we can't trust the Chinese government to work with us even on even on this issue. They're trying to steal instead of collaborate. That is the Chinese Communist Party. Thanks for listening to the Buss and Show podcast. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcast, the iHeartRadio, Apple or wherever you get your podcasts. I just thought, Wow, this guy. I thought he was really sexy,

and you know he was he was he was. He just oozed decency and in integrity. He was kind and caring and all of those things. And so after the dinner, and after the dinner everybody left the table, he and I were still locked in conversation, and on their way home, I said to my husband Ben Bradley, Um, you know,

I found the guy. I found the perfect person for her to have an affair with, because she had been married to the president who was a jerk, and she wasn't really in love with him, and he was totally in love and involved with himself. And here was Tony Fauci, who and even though he was famous and you know, well respected and all that, didn't care about fame or

money or power. He Fauci should do good. Mark. I thought, I thought that this Sally Quid lady was talking about me at the start here, I mean, I'm sorry, I should cut out the end. So everyone thought she was talking about you. Here's this guy who's really sexy, who's decency and integrity. I'm like, apparently she listens to the Buck Sexton Show or watches me on Pluto TV. I

don't know what he ate the first. I don't think you can even get snow Princess to say nice things like that about you, not like that, you know, who's decency and integrity and was really sexy. I mean hopefully she thinks that, but I don't think she'd ever say that in public. And I just I love this though. Yeah, doctor Fauci, Yeah, O, here we are. I'm I'm a sex machine, I'm a superb I'm a super stud muffin Fauci. I'm like, come on, man, really, this is where we

are with this. I don't know what's more disturbing your Fauci impression saying he's sexy or the Warren impression doing loving the rock. Oh man, that was one of our. That was one of our. That was one of the moments on the show that people really remember. I could. I can't even like conjure it up in my own head, but I remember listening back to it and I was like, Wow, we really took that to another place. I'm not even sure what place we went to. He's a sex shopan

with those pectoralis major muscle school. I just want to touch Elizabeth Warren. Oh Hey, so where were we? Oh? Yes, this was the point where I just said, yeah, that's right. Anthony Fauci to Libs is a sex symbol. Now that's how that's how insane these people look. I mean, Fauci's a nice guy, and he's a handsome, older gentleman and all that. I'm I'm not trying to be rude about it, but I mean, come on, let's not be insane, folks, right, it's just so weird. Why why revere this public health

expert in this way? I will say doctor Burkes's scarves from when I stand from the ladies, very fashionable, very fashionable. I don't know if you've ever seen that or not already heard that or not. Prucer mark this missus Mark like the scarves of the doctor Burks. No, I think that's an older age demographic, Joy older. Pardon me, excuse me, Buck, older, I said it nicely, Yeah, an older lady thing. All right, this is where we can do roll call, so Buck

stops making an ass of himself. Hit it. The show ain't over yet, folks, keeping it real. It's time for roll call, all right, Rick Ryan's hey bucking producer Mark listening to Thursday's podcast. It was a pleasant surprise to hear Mike Slater on your show. Although I've never met him, I did get to talk to him a few times on a Saturday show back in the day. I agree with you, he's a good and nice guy. So glad that you, Mike, and Dana are metaphorically together again. And

Jesse's like the cherry on top. You all do such a great job. Nice catch on the Cincinnatis reference, by the way, shields high. Well, thanks so much. Rick. Yeah, look, we've got we've got a great crew at the first that they've pulled together, and Mike Slater is one of the most earnest, nice, good dudes you'll find in this business. Jesse Kelly, by the way, is also super nice, but is don't tell him I said that because his head's big enough. But it's obviously a hilarious guy and is

a really really astute political analyst and observer too. And then Dana Lash needs no accolades or you know, you know, high fives for me. I mean, Dana's Dana. Everyone knows Dana's work and she's fantastic, so uh yeah, I mean, we got a really good we got a really good crew, really good squad. And as for the Cincinnatis reference, qure you're gonna throw an ancient Rome reference. You're gonna slip that one past the buckster. I don't think so, not

on my watch. And yeah, thank you so much. I appreciate you Rick writing in and joining us and all that. Adam writes, buck does Commy Bear play speed chest shields high? So Adam, uh, Commy Bear speed Chess. You know, Commy Bear is a character we created that people keep asking for me to bring him back. I don't know. I feel like some people think it's just that they're not into it, and other people really like it. I kind of want to do it and bring him back, but

I don't know how. I guess we could now on the first but it was kind of a gag. I don't know. I'm thinking about it. I'm thinking about a producer. Mark probably isn't know what Commy Bear is. I've heard of it, I've never actually seen it, but you know, there's some there might be some old YouTube videos bouncing

around of Commy Bear doing his thing. But as I was gonna say, it sounds like a great YouTube video for us that might be a good thing on the YouTube dot com slash buck sex in YouTube channel that we have launched. That is fantastic and everybody listening to this should subscribe to because there'll be more and more

content on that going forward. So yeah, maybe commy bear we could bring bet it was like a little bear that is a little bottle of vodka in AK forty seven, and who would give his thoughts on Taylor Swift Beyonce politics and socialism, which would probably a good time. All right, all right, I'm kind of selling myself phone as we're thinking about it. Does he play speed chests of course and he always wins or also bust out his AK on you, his tiny tiny AK forty seven. Kyle Buck,

you're absolutely on point with General Flynn. When this whole thing started, I argued with lib and said, the only thing that was proven is that you never sit down a chat with an FBI agent unless you're lawyers present. Between Flynn, Kavanaugh, the Muller investigation and impeachment, it's like the progressive concept of justice is like something you'd hear from someone who escaped the Soviet Union or some third world blank hole country. Great show, love your take on

things and the color commentary of producer Mark Yep. The penalty Box is a much much revered addition to the show aka producer Mark commentary. And as for as for Flynn, Yeah, no, I appreciate that. I think that people have lost their minds on this Flynn case on the left and they no longer can be reasoned with. And as for the FBI, I wouldn't sit down with the FBI at a lawyer, and I used to work with the FBI. I mean I actually do things with the FBI when I was CIA,

when I was at MPD Intel Division analyst. Yeah, I would. Now we'd not talk to them. Now if the FBI called me and they're like, hey, Buck, can we sit down and chatty with something, and be like Nope, that is a no. So we'll take that for what it's worth. And I'm on, I'm rooting for law enforcement and I'm rooting for the rule of law every every day, every

time I can, every way I can. But sorry, man, you know, I after watching that Waco series and now this, I mean I already knew about the Waco stuff before, but the series kind of brought it all home for you. Mark, did you finish it yeah, I finish it before you remember. Oh that's right. Yeah, you told me to watch it, I think, or he told me that it was good.

To finish it. It was good, which reminds me. I have watched two movies over the weekend on the advice of one producer Mark as well as many of you who write in. One of them was Uncut Gems. One of them was Winter Soldier. One of them I found highly entertaining, and the other one I thought I was going to have to stab my eyes out with a blunt object. Which one is? Which? Producer Mark? I don't

even this is a stupid question. We both know you liked Uncut Gems and you didn't like Winter Soldier because you have some person little vendetta against Marvel movies. Well, I will have you know that you have it backwards. No way. Yes, I liked Winter Soldier. I hated on Good House It was so good. Is there to like in the movie? Is cursing every three seconds? And the guy's horrible and he's because he's a he's a mobster from Brooklyn. Oh, oh, of course he's cursing every five seconds.

I've never seen any like him. Is he a mobster? I don't know a mobster, but you know what I mean, he's a were a jewelry guy from Long Island or wherever he was from New York. I also couldn't understand a lot of the dialogue. I was gonna say it, you're from New York, I know, but there was a lot of everyone was talking so fast and cursing, and You're like the only person who I've heard that's watched that movie that I said this. I know, I dude,

I know. I'm just telling Well, though I watched it with I watched it with a couple of family members, and I'll tell you that they were not They were not fans either, man. I mean we were like, what, here's what I what is the point of the movie? That's what it didn't make clear. I mean that there's some magic that this stone has. Anyone who has the stone, things are going well, and then you lose the stone and things go badly. And actually it's not actually the stone.

It's just a story. You don't have to will I don't know. I got over my Avengers thing because I realized that somebody who likes the Marvel comics I should probably just try to you know, stuff, and The Winter Soldier was an entertaining and well made film. Yes, everyone says that's one of the best, The Winter Soldier, the Captain America, when I'm also I just like Captain America because like America and freedom and stuff. So I thought that.

I thought that one was pretty good. And now I liked it so much that I'm willing because I have Disney Plus to go and watch some of the other Avengers movies. I'm glad maybe we'll finally get But you know you're for me. You're one for two on this one. You're one for two. You got me a watch Winter Soldier, which I liked. Uncut gems though so much. Curse everyone's and everyone's so mean to each other. Why are they all so mean? You sound like a grandmother that watched

this movie. Yeah, that's kind of what I felt like. I was like, I don't, I don't like this. They're all what the potty mouths and the being mean and yeah, because you never curse when you're not on the radio. No, no, I never do that. I look, I watched it, I gave I gave it a shot. I did like his um assistant or whatever or just the other sales lady. She was nice. I like her, the one that he is in an affair with. Yeah, yeah, yeah, the U. I believe. I believe in a mobster speak, she would

be referred to as a gumar. Sure right, that's I believe what you call a mistress. Yes, yes, so I believe it was his gumar. But he's not an Italian mobster, so it doesn't really make it. But there are mobsters in the movie. Yeah, I can't keep it. He's a Jewish mobster? Is there a Is there a Jewish Yiddish equivalent of a of the Italian word for mistress? Like? Is there something that I know off the top of

my head? I'm just saying all right, but h And also I had never I mean that there was the scene that they're having a passover, right, wasn't that a passover dinner? Yes? Yeah, yeah, I've never been to one of those, so you gotta invite me sometime. It's not fun. You can't eat any bread, crap, that's a bad holiday. What happens to what happens to people? Like what happens? The weirdo was like me, they can't eat bread when they only I mean, this is a problem. I'm curious.

Can you eat mazza? I don't think so. I don't think it has yeast in it doesn't have yeast, but it has flour y, yeah, has wheat. Yeah. I wonder if they make gluten free mazza. I'll look into it. You don't want you let me you find some gluten freemonts. I'm coming over you and missus mark A're gonna put me through my first I've never even been to a satyr, although my first girlfriend was Jewish. Actually, you'll love the main course, which is usually brisket. I mean, I do

All right, roll call continuing here, and remember, if you want to send in your thoughts, team buck at iHeartMedia dot com. Um, if you address your email to producer Mark is A is a wonderful fellow and is amazing,

you'll probably more likely to get your email in. But I'm you didn't hear that tip. From me, but also you can set it to Facebook dot com slash Buck Sexton if you want to send it on Instagram, because I keep seeing people doing that. I appreciate it. But you gotta give me a first name, because I can't.

I don't want to introduce on air. You know, Patriot gun collector nine five five seven rites in you know what I mean, Like, we need to just give me a name, a first name of some kind, or I guess I could just make names up all of a sudden, everyone's gonna be named Bob and Susie. Those are reason why I go toos Bab and Susie very quest. Yeah, well not but not a yuper necessarily right. I said it, right,

you did. I learned things I'll ever forget. When someone on this show, it was like my mind was blown. It was years ago. Someone's like, Buck, you've been saying the state that Las Vegas is in the wrong way your whole life. You need to change, And I was like, no way. It turns out, yeah it's Nevada. It is not Nevada. A lot of New Yorkers say Nevada, though I will have you know, but it is Nevada. So I learned how to say it properly. See I learned. I learned things from doing the show all the time.

I learned what a yuper is. For example, where are we on this one book? Oh yes, Robert Buck. I think the reason the left one after General Flynn could be very simple and shallow. He led the locker up chant at the convention, which started a movement. He became a target when he supported Trump and was prioritized when he led the chant and it went viral. Robert Obama was a very thin skinned individual, very not you know, not good at handling criticism. And I remember once there

was something with some journalists. I think someone did a cartoon or something and they Obama didn't like the way that his ears were depicted. This was from journalists a long time, and he made you know, it made a big thing of this, like don't do that. And I mean it was a political cartoon, Like they exaggerate people's features, that's what they do. So Obama has always been somebody who's not able to take criticism and really hasn't had

to take much criticism. Has really gone through his professional life and political life being told by everyone around him, at least on his side of the political spectrum as a Democrat, how wonderful he is and how brilliant and amazing he is, and that does not make for somebody that deals well with opposition voices and people saying, you know, you're not that great on this thing or that thing, whatever it may be. So yeah, I wouldn't be surprised.

But they just really didn't like Flynn. They really didn't like him. You know, That's a part of it. And you think about it, who else as a head of one of the three letter agencies wasn't really a deep state kind of guy at that phase, right, Flynn was the odd man out. You look at people from CIA, FBI, d O, j NSA, you know they're all doing the bidding of the of the establishment national security apparatus. Flynn was a little bit of a wild card for them.

And then he went after Obama a little bit and then just just a little bit by the way, a little bit a little bit, chip Buck, huge fan been listening from the beginning, Wow Original Saturday Squad oh SS. Just catching up on Friday's episodes and have to say, out of all the Ben Stiller movies, the Heartbreak Kids has to be up there in the top three. Funny

as hell, keep up the good work, Shields high. Not that you're like this special Jewish correspondent, but I mean, I'm kind of ask you a lot of questions to say, Mark, what is the Ben Stiller movie The Heartbreak Kids? I have not seen it, but I will report. Did you see that his father, Jerry Stiller passed away today? Oh? I did not see that. Man. That's I know. He's from the Seinfeld. He's from Seinfeld, He's from King of Queens. He was one of the best category characters in both

of those shows. I'm sorry to hear that. How old with you? Ninety two? So he died peace four he went, He went the full distance, which is always Then you can have a you know, it's sad, but you can have a celebration of someone's life at ninety two. It's not like someone when they're you know, thirty. So I mean, not that that's particularly helpful, I'm sure to his family right now, but I just you know, God bless and a man who lived a good life and did a

lot of good work. Mark. Hello, Buck, I heard a prediction that Adam Shift will submit articles of impeachment on A. G. Barr, What are your thoughts on this? I mean that's not going anywhere. There's there's no way that's gonna do much of anything. So yeah, that's just gonna be shift being shift. Sean writes, Fuck, just heard you talking about future plans are coming to Nebraska.
