Time For A Bigly Backlash

a great guy. Now, welcome, Welcome, everybody to the Buck Sexton Show and honor a privilege and a pleasure to have you here with me. Thank you so much for joining. So I want to get right to it because you may have seen last night the individual, the husband of the duo from out in Saint Louis, who had the temerity to try and defend himself, his home, his family from an angry mom threatening to kill them. Of course, now this has settled into two camps. The two political

parties represent different sides of this issue. Now, on the one hand, you have Republicans who meekly and sort of quietly out of the side of their mouth, we'll say, yes, you should be able to I mean, come on, you should be able to defend yourself, right. And the Democrats who are like Dusi's racist Trump was all about retweeting it and both they're all freaking out saying that these

are peaceful protests. I'm pretty sure it's illegal to threaten to kill somebody, especially as part of a mob that's rampaging through a neighborhood. But we all know that the multi multi millionaire overpaid babies on CNN for example, take the position, and then you know, how dare you stop these new civil rights heroes who are trapsing through your frontyard and threatening to kill you? How dare you stand in front of your home if you're lawfully registered and

owned firearm? Well, why is it such a problem they ever want to stop? Oh they were so peaceful. Oh they they just wanted to have their voices heard. We will deal that. There's an essential lie. There's a very important component of this that I think has gotten not nearly enough attention. I'll return to it in just one moment. But here's Mark McCloskey, the Saint Louis man with a pink polo and an a R fifteen who has become something of a symbol. Because I can tell you this

right now. If I were issues no socks loafers, if you will, I would certainly have been standing out in front of my home. I would have had a little bit better muzzle discipline. But not everyone has spent as much time at the range as other folks have. Right, but here is how this is being discussed, or here here's what he wants you to know. Play clip six. I saw it all going up in flames, and my life destroyed in an instant, and I did what I thought I had knew to protect my heart, my home,

and my family. Well, no one was protecting you, and they were screaming at you and threatening you and threatening to murder your dog and harm you and your wife. What do you make of the attacks on you for doing what we used to believe every homeowner had an obligation to do. Why are they denouncing a racist? I

don't understand. And you know, here's the interesting thing. I spend my career in defending people that are defenseless, for people that are having a hard time making their miracle happen, for people that don't have a voice. My black clients love us. The night that this happened. I had some of our black clients calling us up till two thirty in the morning telling us how wrong it was the way the press was writing us up, telling how wrong it was that we should be portrayed as racist. This

is what I do for a living. I help people that are down and the need a hand and the people that need a voice. To call us racist is ridiculous, but it's necessary for the narrative. It's necessary because the symbolism of someone defending his home and using the Second Amendment to do it is an affront to this leftist movement. It doesn't matter what was said, it doesn't matter what the real threat was. The left does not care. In fact,

I can tell you this right now. If they had stormed this man's house, Let's say they had actually started throwing rocks, and some of these protesters had tried to rush hid, which obviously you'd think who would do that when someone has a weapon, But maybe they think he's not going to use it, and he did have to use this weapon in defense of his home. I guarantee you every Democrat in the country that would speak on this issue would be saying he needs to be tried

for murder, not allowed to defend your home. How dare you there's a movement? Don't you understand what's at stake here? Don't you see the civil rights implications of these marchers in the streets. Oh, the marchers like the ones you know, the protesters and the riders like the ones here in New York who last night were chanting at the NYPD. NYPD, suck my blank These are the new civil rights heroes. Oh no, Buck, that was just one time. Really? What

about pigs in a blanket? Fry him like bacon. What about the time that I heard over a month ago, my own ears, my own eyes, protesters screaming that horrid phrase at the NYPD. What about the protesters down in City Hall who are caught on video here in New York mocking the NYPD's saying they're so dumb they didn't go to fancy colleges. Can they even read saying this to officers, including a black officer that one of them

went up to and said was a race trader? C and entreats these people like they have a valid grievance. MSNBC thinks that their civil rights heroes, the New York Times backs them to the hilt. In fact, The New York Times, the Washington Post, the lib media seems to have taken the approach that because they're worried about their position in society and their power and their influence in the Trump era, if they have to burn down this country, if they have to encourage the mob, incite the mob

to ruin and riot, great. If they can't have it, no one can burn it all down. These people are a disgrace. I don't have a disagreement with them. I think they are odious. That's not the same thing. That's how I feel about all of the mainstream media pundits and reporters and all them. And of course the protesters on the streets who are doing these things. They're appalling. You don't hear much about it on some of the channels, do you. Why would anyone think that an officer who's

done nothing wrong. The Democrat leadership, Biden and Pelosi and Schumer will say, well, you know, we know there are a lot of good cops. Really, because your protesters out on the street go up to cops at random, spin at them, throw things at them, say the most horrible things to them. So are they going after just the bad cops. Is that your because they go after cops all over the place constantly that they've just met, who have done nothing. This is all a fraud. This is

all a fraud. But I wanted to get to what Saint Louis has really exposed. Why does why does this bother the Democrats so much? Why are they so upset by this? Because this could be the beginning of a backlash, not just in rhetorical terms, but in terms of individuals, citizens who say enough, who say that they will stand up to the mob, they will defend themselves and their property.

No more looting, no more rioting. It might also encourage the feckless and weak Republican party that has done almost nothing to protect people in their homes and their rights during this time of anarchy and mob rage. Perhaps the Republicans will recognize that they have some authority and some power here too. Trump is saying that now they're going to arrest people for attacking statutes. I want to see

these prosecutions. I want to see the fullest, the fullest extent of the law used to punish people who believe that they're above the law. But there's something else here that I think you must remember. Why did McCloskey and Saint Louis really strike such a nerve? He didn't did he harm anyone, did he kill anyone, did he wound anyone?

He did nothing except stand outside his home on private property with his lawful firearm, making it clear that if they were going to try to burn out his house and kill him and his family, he was going to fight back, and that a few of them were going to go down in the process. That's often all you need for a bully or for a mob to know that they're not going to go forward with this if they think they're going to get hurt too. Whoa hold on a second, Now, this isn't all fun and games anymore.

Who wants to be the first three across the threshold of that man's house that may get hit with a five five six round? That sends a very different message to the protesters, doesn't it all of a sudden. They're not in this position to have you cower in fear. They can protest on public property, they can protest as

long as they abide by the law. But more importantly than anything else, they can protest as long as they don't think that that means that people will all have to hide in their own homes in fear, hoping the doesn't turn on them. You see, that's the part of this that you won't hear from the media. You're supposed to be scared of this mob, if you don't agree with it, You're supposed to be fearful to hide. I'm not supposed to stand up and say, you know, you

have your right to free speech. I have my right to self defense, to private property and to defend myself in my family. They want you to think that you're not allowed to do that. They want you to believe that there's always this threat of force in the background of the mob. Has we've seen them use it? Why

have there been so many instances of these protests? And we know there have been protest movements the Tea Party, of course, but there have been protest movements that were non violent, that we're law abiding, a peaceful Tea Party was entirely peaceful and entirely non violent. But they had a message. This is about more than that. These are revolutionaries who were hiding among a body of larger protesters, so that then they can always have this mostly peaceful

construct to defend them. Oh no, it's mostly peaceful. There were one hundred protests theres only thirty of them were involved in the riot. So let's not disparage the whole thing. No, if you're part of a protest where there's a riot arm that's going to break off, you should be ashamed. You should be ashamed because your cause, at a minimum is hijacked. But as we know, they have no problem

with this. The people that are breaking in the windows, that are lighting things, lighting stores on fire, toppling statues, attacking cops, they're just the action arm. They're the paramilitary wing of this Democrat movement. So remember that every time you see this talked about on TV. Oh no, it's peaceful. Sure it is in some places. In some places it's not, and that is part of the power of the movement.

You better hide in your home when they march past your house because maybe you're Maybe you're that instance in which they decide to burn down things. Again, maybe you're that person, as we've seen in videos, who get attacked by Antifa, who gets beaten in the streets. Maybe not, but you better be quiet, You better stay inside. You better not stand up to them or else. They often use force, often enough that any rational person would be concerned about one of these mobs using force on them.

The police aren't coming to your aid. The politics of these democrats cities have abandoned rule of law, have abandoned pillars of our civilization, quite honestly. So it's all on you. It's all on Americans taking it upon themselves to defend their own rights, their own safety, and their own freedoms. Can rely on the state anymore, not these police forces

in these democrat controlled cities. But just remember, every time you stand up and assert your rights and say you will not bend the knee, you will not comply, the mob loses a little bit of power. Yet another person who does cower in fear is a strike against their ability to coerce and demand. And then don't like that very much. And I'm here to tell you more of

us should do it. In fact, every person who cares about the future of this country should, if they're capable, if they're willing, in whatever way they see fit, stand up rhetorically however they should, however they can against this mob. It's on us. Government's not going to do it for us. It comes from citizens. That's why this situation on Saint Louis is so upsetting to the Democrats. What do you mean someone could say, not today, not my house. The

cops have pulled away. You're supposed to be helpless. Will deign we the mob, will deign not to burn down your home this time. Maybe next time we will. You better bend the knee, chant blm at the top of your lungs. No, this individual decided that he wasn't going to wait to see what the mob thought it should do that day. I think a lot of us understand just what's at stake here. You're in the freedom Hunt.

This is the Buck Sex and Show podcast, that's right, screaming vulgarities at all the cops in New York gathered together to protect their right to protest, screaming obscenities at them, because this is just about bad cops, right, This isn't a movement of anti cop hatred. Because Democrats have convinced themselves that the system is their enemy in any period, in any point, in any way where they can't control it.

They have Hollywood, they have the news media, they have the Academy, they have Corporate America, they have the Democrat party, but anything, you know, the law that text all of us is an impediment to Democrat power police who are arresting people who break the law, irrespective of disparate impact on society or irrespective of what the optics look like in a certain place or time. The law is the law. That's an impediment to Democrats. That's an offense to their sensibilities.

What do you mean the law is going to be enforced even if it means that some individuals are arrested one hundred times, that's unfair. Well, has that individual broken the law one hundred times? Like the guy that punched the old lady in the head walking past her in the street in New York City. Democrats don't want to ask those questions. That's too sane, that's too rational. In Seattle, I see, they finally decided to clear out the chaz or the chop depending on who you asked, the Capitol

Hill Autonomous Zone or the Capitol Hill Occupy protest. Oh you mean this is occupy all over again? This leftist revolutionary Democrat movement has come back, same time, actic, same phrases, same everything. What did they accomplish the last time? Oh? They made some public squares really crowded and smelly. Did they change society for the better? No, they did not. Did they do anything that they could point to that a normal point person could point to and say, yeah,

we're really proud of that. I'm sure they'd think of some obscure Oh, there's greater transparency for the cops in this neighborhood legislation. But we know that it's all crap. It's notable that in Seattle they only took action after two people were killed inside of the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, and it's notable that they shut this thing down after they were already casualties. What is it this twenty three arrests as Seattle retake control of the East Precinct and

Capitol Hill. Wait, you mean that it was a massive failure that the mayor Jenny Durkin issuing executive order to clear this area. This only came after it was clear that this was a really, really stupid idea that harmed people, that achieved nothing, and that was all rooted in a left wing delusion that the problem in society are cops.

Cops doing their jobs and enforcing good laws. No, the real problems we have are people who are reckless, who don't think long term, who act out with violence, who believe that they're above the law, who believe that they're better than cops, They're better than people that are trying to do their jobs every day. Turn out, there were a lot of people who had firearms in the area of the Chaz in Seattle. Did any that Did that concern anybody that there were no cops allowed in people

walking around with guns? No, of course not. Did it concern anybody when a twenty nine year old man is arrested who had a large metal pipe and a kitchen knife carrying around with him when he was in the Chaz with no cops around. No, that's not concerning, of course not. This was all going to be like the Summer of Love, man, this was gonna be great. Nope. Instead it was a free for all zone for Democrat voters who are also left wing idiots. And there was

aggravated assault, larceny, theft, rape, and two murders. Two people died because of this little commi idiot experiment in Seattle. Will there be anyone mourning them? Will they be martyrs for the cause. No, they're already forgotten because that's what the left does, destroys and uses and then moves on. Thanks for listening to the Busts and show podcasts.

you get your podcasts. You cannot overstate how much the most elite institutions under liberal control have completely lost their minds, whether it's Yale University or NBC News or McDonald's big places in corporate America, Facebook, Google, Uber, nuts, totally nuts.

No one willing to stand up and say, hey, we're all going to be adults, right, Like, we're not going to do this thing where we all pretend to care so much about something we don't really care about because it makes us feel good that we're gonna forget about in like a month or two, all because we hate Trump so very very much. It's absurd, it's crazy. But there's a Harvard student. Remember it's not just the institutions, the people who work in them get brainwashed. The graduates

of these hallowed, hallowed universities. Oh yes, absolute brilliant, because I went to sessions such No one cares anymore, honestly, if you, if you pay attention to it, you know that this just doesn't matter. You don't know. It's a coin flip. If someone goes to even the fanciest school in the country, it's a coin flip. Are they smart or not? Who knows. It depends how they get there, why they get in. Someone donate a building in their name. There's a lot of that going around at the top

levels of elite circles. Anyway, a Harvard graduate here named Clara jan Over said in a TikTok video, Now, TikTok is the new thing with the where the cool kids are these days. So I'm gonna make producer Mark create a TikTok video so that he can show us all of his cooking secrets and his favorite funky tunes or whatever. The kids doing TikTok. Do you have a TikTok account yet? I don't. We gotta get him a TikTok account. So

it is. I will say I have a TikTok account because I want to know what the next generation is seeing. And it's a great tool. It reminds me of some of those old dystopian movies where they'll just show somebody, you know, a reel of footage and they'll just keep running in and running in, and it's a way of brainwashing people. TikTok is like that, you sit there just watching whatever you're into. You know, people doing little dance moves,

people cooking food. People. There are some very good impressions, I will say, of political characters on there. But anyway, it's a Chinese spying site for whatever, if you care about that or not. The Chinese government controls this thing and is harvesting all the data. But a lot of people are gonna say, I don't care if China knows that I want to cook the best burger possible and learn how to do a shuffle dance. Nonetheless, TikTok is now Instagram. Too many people over thirty or on Instagram,

so now it's migrating to TikTok. And this Harvard grad who I guess just finished at Harvard, I don't know who cares. She did teach me a new term, caucassity, which is a new made up word to left uses. Caucassity is a combination of audacious or audacity and Caucasian. So if you do something and you don't check your privilege,

you're using caucasity. I would say that the liberals are using jackassery and that's the defining, that's the word that we should use to define their approach to all this stuff. But they can say called Cassidy anyway. Here's the video. They're claiming it's satire, but producer Mark please hit it next person who has the sheer nerve the sheer entitled Cassidy to say all lives matter, I'm a stab you.

I'm a I'm a stab you, and while you're struggling and bleeding out, I'm gonna show you my paper cut and say my cut matters too. She sounds like a total psycho. I don't know. This has now been viewed, It's gone viral to newe hundreds of thousands of times, and we're supposed to believe that when she's saying, if you say all lives matter, I'm gonna stab you. Now look, I don't think that she's really gonna actually stab anybody,

but what a crazy thing to say. Harvard Grad's now walk around saying if you, if you claim all lives matter, I'm gonna stab you. Why why exactly are you not allowed to say all lives matter? All would include black? So oh no, because the purpose of saying black lives matter and telling people that they have to agree with it is to get them to bay a political movement by using a phrase that no normal, reasonable human being would even think a half a second about before saying,

of course, black lives matter. But the purpose of it is not to see if people really agree. And also, let's understand this, if someone really was such a hateful bigot that they had a problem with that phrase, having them say it doesn't change anything. As another part of this too, this is all about the optics and the politics of it. No, why wouldn't you say black lives matter? Trust me, Under the right circumstances, you can get somebody to say anything if they think it's in their interest.

Doesn't change what's in their heart. That's why this whole thing, this whole game, is absurd. You're making people agree with something that they constantly already agree with. Everyone agrees with it. So what are we doing? What are you even talking about? But if you go to Harvard, Oh I went to Harvard, you can run around saying you're gonna stab somebody if they say all lives matter. That would be a very unwise thing for her to do. Now, she's claiming that

it's satire. It doesn't sound like satire. That sounds like a threat. I don't think it's funny either, And it's just as even if it is supposed to be satire. She clearly is a BLM want to be activist. So that's how upset, that's how enraged she gets by the notion that all lives matter. My friends, these people are unhinged. We are living in a period of mass media and mass hysteria, and the results are not good. You have far too many Americans who are bombarded with propaganda. They

don't even know what propaganda is. They don't know the origins of the term of the word or the history of it. They don't believe that they should have any exposure to harmful thoughts. They've created these cocoons of the mind for themselves where they're not allowed to be exposed to anything else. It's just going to be the constant echo chamber of BuzzFeed listicals and MSNBC slams. And then they turn on the Daily Show. Everyone knows stinks, right,

it's a bad show. They turn on this stuff and yeah, that's right, Oh man, you would John, one of us said he it was Laura, I made from Britain, and I'm just gonna make fun of all the stupid Republicans and curse a lord and hit the table. Now that that's not actually convincing me of anything, but I do love that the lives love to bring over liberal people from Britain to lecture all of us and how stupid the second amount, how stupid Americans are. Yeah, thank you

for that. We really really want to hear what they have to say. Sure. Can you imagine being an American and showing up in Great Britain being like, hey, hey, guys, um, what's going on with the queen? You want to explain this to me? Come on and on a news show where you're talking to nothing but Brits. Hey, somebody telling me about the Queen. I don't I don't understand this thing. What are you guys doing here? People would think, you know, you're probably a little out of your out of your element.

I'm just saying, but no, no, not here. You know, whether it's your CNN importing Piers Morgan or John Oliver, they love all the Libs so impressed, so impressed by British accents. Some on our side are too. I'm gonna say, I know, I know, it's we got a little bit of a little bit of that going on, But oh, my friends, this is a period of insanity we are

going through. At least I have all of you to keep me sane, because there's no other way to understand this other than these people are completely nuts if they've totally lost it. Here you've got somebody from the Democratic Socialists of America, which is really just a a group meant to help the Democrat Party, but to pretend that there's something really different and distinct. Oh no, we're not the Democratic Socialist of America. We're the Democrat Party. Sure

you are. But here she is saying the defunding the police is not enough play fifteen. Yeah, there's too many uniform police in New York City. And furthermore, when we talked about defunding the NYPD, the other part of that

is to fully fund social services. I can tell you out of the encampment, it's obvious we have some of the most vulnerable members of our community coming out to have their voices heard and start to participate in this encampment, and it's clear that what they're saying they need is services, mental health services, social services, adequate housing, you know, affordable health care, you know, the quality education. These are the

things that the community is crying out for. And so it's not good enough to move money around in fancy accounting strikes. It's not good enough to just defund the MPT even we have to meet that services that are fully funded as well. I mean, this would be laughable in a sixth grade social studies class. Yeah, we don't need the cops. We just like, we just want all the services to be funded. What what? What services are currently unfunded? Does she even know? Does she know that

de Blasio's wife? Sure, Lane McCrae never elected to anything. But hey, the Republicans, we're not allowed to criticize nepotism. I've been telling you that this is a problem we're going to run into. Now what are we gonna do? I hope, I hope that was worth it. We're all kind of quiet on that one. We'll see. We've got our we've got our own problem with that going on in the Republican Party. And people didn't want to Oh no, I had people said, oh no, they're a very wise choice. No,

it really is not a wise choice. It's not a precedent we want to set. We don't have monarchs here, we don't have people giving things to their giving things to their family members. But look, I know Bill Clinton and Hillary I mean, this has been around for a while, but it's really we should not do this. But anyway, Schirlane McCray, who's the wife of the mayor of New York, spent eight hundred million dollars on some mental health program.

And anytime a city mental health program, anytime someone says what exactly did you do or did it accomplish, it's like, oh, we don't you know, I don't know. Ask somebody else. There's no no, they have nothing. They have nothing. What are the social services that maybe the schools in New York? We all have this image in our head. And I know this is true of public schools and rough neighborhoods

across the country. But schools, you know, you go back all these movies in the nineties of a teacher who's in a rough neighborhood public school and just wants to help the kids and turn it all around and like teaches them some poetry and then everyone's behaving themselves and being like really nice to each other. Right, sure, but you always have the you know, the ceilings falling in and there's no books, and it looks like it looks like bombed out Beirut in these public schools. Maybe in

the nineties that was true, that's not true anymore. I have a friend who works at a school, in a public school in New York that's considered one of the renaissance schools. Here, tons of funding. They're spending more on these students than most people spend on private school in the rest of the country. Okay, they have the best teachers in the public schoo system that they get to pick.

They have the best resources, everything that they need, and the schools are their facility is brand new, you know, nice computers in every classroom. And guess what test scores haven't budged, haven't budged. Say, wait, what's going on. I don't understand. I thought it was just resources. No, but

they don't want to they don't want to talk about that. No, they'd rather shut down charter schools in New York operating outside the traditional number of charter schools are publicly funded, right, but operating outside the Democrat power base of the teachers unions, charter schools that in some cases, I mean here in Harlem, there's Harlem Success Academy. The school is almost entirely black and Hispanic. And those those young children, those boys and

girls are outperforming on math and science. They're peers at schools across the state on testing. So it can be done. No one's saying it can't be done. But just throwing money at the problem isn't going to solve it. You know what one thing that charter schools do that democrats really don't like. There are a couple of things that charter schools don't like. And I can just speak through it in the context of New York. I know they're

different in different places across the country. One, it takes away from the power base of the teachers unions, which are just a machinery for electing Democrats. Give them, you know, the shortest working schedule possible for the teachers, the fattest health and pension benefits possible, and all you have is the teachers union. And of course the teachers tend to be liberal anyway. But the I know a couple of conservatives, but they'll just make sure Democrats keep getting elected. That's

part one. You know what part two is for some of these charter schools, and Democrats don't like parents have to agree to be involved to parents have to sign on for the charter school approach and experience, They have to come to parent teacher meetings, they have to make sure that child is in school on time. So there's a component of individual investment and yes, individual responsibility, and it works. It works for kids who are black and Hispanic in New York who are coming out of Section

eight housing. It works. But Democrats don't like that. That's not the message that they want to tell. That's why they tried to shut down Success Academy in New York. That's why Obama when he came into office, initially was going to shut down charter schools in DC and there

was a big backlash against it. His kids were going to a thirty five thousand dollars year private school, of course, but charter schools in DC for minority students that you know, predominantly minority students that are doing really well, Oh well, that's a threat to the established order of the public school system, which is about a jobs program for adults and a vote churnout, turnout system. Churn votes, turnout votes for Democrats. That's what the public school system is really about.

So all these people, all these activist say, oh, we need better funding whatever. No, We've already run these experiments in cities across the country. We know what works and doesn't. They don't want to do things that work. They want to spit at cops, pretend that the problem is the enforcement of law, not the committing of crime, and not look at what's already being done for social services. And why why is are such a need for social services? I don't know, maybe the breakdown of the family is

a concern for people. You're in the Freedom Hud. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. My question to you is, can't you give us a little bit more on schools so we can get back to school That there's a great deal of evidence and it's actually good, good evidence. The kids aren't transmitting this it's rare, and the kids are staying healthy, and that yes, we can open our schools. I feel very strongly we need to do whatever we can to get the children back to school. So I

think we are in lock agreement with that. Even doctor Fauci is like, yo, look, okay, We've had months in a mitigation, you know, up down, sometimes up, sometimes down. Who knows, got a lot of numbers coming in, A little scary scanned because I want you to always be scanned. That's Saint Fauci Rule number one, be terrified. Rule number two. Do everything I say, even when it's wrong, and even when I change my mind every two months. But I don't think that children should go to the school. But

here's the problem. Even though we understand that children are at an entirely acceptable risk level from COVID nineteen, and we have months and months of data, millions and millions of cases to look at, children are basically fine when they get this. They don't even know they have it. Think about this, We're worried about kids getting a disease that is so dangerous for children that children who have it don't even know, They don't have symptoms, that don't

feel sick, they are asymptomatic. Why then, you would ask, is it even a question that public schools would at all schools would not be open this fall? Ah, it's that interesting. Remember we talking before about the Democrat machinery of the public school system. Union bosses who run those systems and those school superintendents and chancellors, and you know we're making two three four hundred thousand dollars a year to push some paper around and talking about, Oh, our

public school system is doing great. Give us more money, you know, take the taxpayers. Take the taxpayers harder in cash, more, raise their property taxes. That's what they do. They understand the stakes for this fall. Kids go back to school, people can go back to work, People can go back to work. Kids are in school. Things start to look better, the economy start to pick up a little bit. Because there's no epidemiological reason really not to have a K

through twelve education. You're not going to open the schools based on what even Faucci knows. And when Faucci knows that something isn't dangerous, you better be darned certain that it's safe. Kids need to be in school. Open them all up this fall. Thanks for listening to The Bus Sesson Show podcasts.

a beef. If you will with saying Fauci, I mean for one thing, I just like to do the Fauci voice on the show, that's for sure. It's just fun. You can really lean into it, you know. I want to start doing a short series of videos like Fauci at the ball park. Hey, you know, a hot dog usually safe, but I cannot tell right now, I don't have the data. Did you cook it to one hundred and sixty degree internal temperature? If not, there's bacterium. I'm

a scientist. I know that bacteria could grow and it could give me well we in the scientific community call a tummy ache. And I would rather while I'm here engage in mitigation with my mask on watching a game by myself, because of course no one can go in the stands, you get it right. We'd like to joke around about about the mister Fauci alumni of my high school,

which I always just think is so funny. What a small world world, But he he is out there telling people to be very afraid, and I'm I'm really sick of this routine. I think enough is enough. And here is an example of remember we've been going through this now where it was what lockdown again in March, March, April, May, June, going in July. We're in at least March, April, May, June, July. We're in the fifth month of this now of lockdown. And as I've been telling you, we're still in. We're

just in semi lockdown. We're not in a phase of reopen. We're in a phase of lockdown. We should start to think of it that way, because this is oppressive and tyrannical and stupid. Doesn't make any sense the other some of them. Yeah, sure, sure, some of the stuff about mass gatherings, you know, you could have you could have stopped that all along. But all this other stuff, Oh, you can't do this, You can't do that. You know, it's insane. It hasn't saved it hasn't saved lives. The

data doesn't suggest that it has saved lives. Look at countries have lockdowns, don't have lockdowns, Some do really well, some don't. How healthy is a population, how much the disease spread before we ever know about it. There's all these factors. No one ever talks about that though. Just listen to fauci and you'll be fine. But step one

of Fauciism be terrified. Okay, Well, here he is telling us that even though we're about what forty thousand cases a day, he could see us getting very quickly to one hundred thousand play seven. I can't make an accurate prediction, but it is going to be very disturbing. I will guarantee you that, because when you have an outbreak in one part of the country, even though in other parts

of the country they're doing well, they are vulnerable. I made that point very clearly last week at a press conference. We can't just focus on those areas that are having the surge. It puts the entire country at risk. We are now having forty plus thousand new cases a day. I would not be surprised if we go up to one hundred thousand a day if this does not turn around,

and so I am very concerned. If we have one hundred thousand cases a day and hospitals are not overwhelmed, and the fatality rate nationwide continues to go down, there's nothing to be concerned about. We are dealing with this, and we are making progress toward herd immunity. That's what That's what he's not telling you. We have all these people that are all you know, waight Foot. A vaccine might be six months might be six years, we don't know, but just wait any day now or any decade, We're

not sure. No, I don't want to sit around and have my life completely destroyed, ruined because these morons insist that we not learn lessons from the beginning of this lockdown and look at what we now know that we did not know then. But there's something else that he said that is particularly I would argue, particularly in idious. Notice it's not just oh, there's a surgeon cases in some areas. He's like, we need to think about this as a surgeon cases in some areas. There for all areas.

Oh yes, it's coming your way. Those if you listen to this right now, who are in parts of Indiana or Florida, or North Carolina or North Carolina has had a big surge. But you know, wherever you are in the country, you know, if you're listening in Iowa, Montana, Arizona, doesn't matter. The left is pushing, The Democrats are pushing with Saint Fauci at the front of the pack for everybody to get pushed back into lockdown. That's what this is. If the cases get high enough, they'll try to scare

you into going back into lockdown. But I'm here to tell you this is what we have not and I will return and if in two weeks on this I'm wrong, I promise you I will come on air and I'll say, guys, I was wrong. I was wrong about this one. But I'm not going to forget this. So keep this in mind. There's a there's a reality here. There's a record that

we're establishing as we go forward. I mean, I'm here to remind you that while Saint Fauci is speculating about one hundred thousand cases a day, and we're supposed to panic again nationally, not just in one area that's having a spike, the whole country. As of yesterday, the number of deaths in the twenty four hours proceeding was three hundred and seventy across the entirety of the United States.

So you have three hundred and thirty million people, give or take, and that's not including illegal aliens, three hundred and thirty million Americans, or maybe that is including I don't know, although we always think that numbers lover, I digress, And three hundred and seventy people died from a pandemic that we are told we have to shut down society for again. Look, every life lost is a tragedy. We've already gone through the false choice of if it saves

just one life, shutdown all of society. We don't do that for anything else, because that's insane. And yes, there are people who are at risk from this disease, older people. There are people who are risk every day from dying of heart attacks and cancer and other and pneumonia and the flu and other diseases too. This is just what it means to live in a very large country with a big population. There are going to people who die

every day from different things. Here's what I'm telling you, if if we allow them to get their way, they're going to lock us down again. Even though fatalities are eighty percent down on a daily basis from what they were in April May, at least eighty percent. I mean, you were looking at, depending on whose numbers you want to, you know, two to three thousand dead a day at the at the peak of this, and now we're at three hundred and seventy. And what they're telling us, of course,

is us wait two weeks, Just wait two weeks. That's when you'll really see how terrible this is I'll come back to you, mark market on the calendar. I'll come back to you on July fifteenth, and we will look at where we are. And you know, if we are under let's say, under a thousand fatalities a day from this, that means that this is under control. That's what it means, because we'll have seen you know, yeah, it might it might be three hundred, it might be five hundred, but

I mean we're talking about a huge population Peo. We're talking about hundreds of deaths from something that we're going to shut down the entire country, or three hundred and twenty million people. So unless we get at unless we start getting numbers similar to that's why I set a thousand. But you know, thousand and fifteen hundred, two thousand a day and not all. You know, if you have one day where it's fifteen hundred and then the next day

it's two hundred. This just has to do with the reporting, right. It's not that one all of a sudden, a lot of people die and then then no one dies from this. But fatalities are the single most important metric you can use to see how under control this is. And then there's another part of this too. Even if it turns out that we are in a spike and lethality is going up for reasons that a lot of people will be arguing over in the weeks ahead, we already decided this.

This was already talked about as a country. This was told to us by all the politicians. Donald Trump has said this, Democrats have said this. We are not going to lock down forever. We have to go on living our lives. So even in two weeks, if I come back and you have to say, look, I was wrong that the fatality rate did increase in a way where clearly this disease has gotten a second wind against us, it still doesn't mean we should shut down the whole country.

Still doesn't mean we should shut down the whole country. So so this is take this day as a marker, and we'll see where we are in two weeks. Because we we keep predicting what they're going to do and what their reaction will be, and how they're going to try to politically exploit this, and then they act like we didn't predict it and they didn't do exactly what we said they were going to, And we're still supposed

to listen to them. Here's the Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, for example, talking about how he views same Fauci play eighteen. Reality is a lot different. We've had two thousand, two hundred and rather two thousand, four hundred and twenty four people die, and New York has had over thirty one thousand. Even California has had almost three times as much as Texas. And remember, Laura, those two states have been locked down the whole time while we have been open. So locking

down doesn't work. If it did, those two states would be going better than Texas. Fauci said today that he's concerned about states like Texas that skipped over certain things. He doesn't know what he's talking about. We haven't skipped over anything. Everything I'm skipping over is listening to him. You know, you have a lot of doctors on your show. From day one, your doctors have been right almost every time, and he has been wrong every time on every issue.

I don't need his advice anymore. Will listen to a lot of science, will listen to a lot of doctors, and Governor Abbitt, myself and other state leaders will make the decision. No thank you, doctor Fauci, No thank you doctor Fauci. A lot more people have to say this. And I give credit to Lieutenant Governor Patrick here for saying what is obvious. And I've been telling you for months. Foucci has been wrong and wrong and wrong again. Why are we listening to this person? What does he know?

What has he told you that you did not already know? Wear a mask, don't wear a mask, wash your hands, social distance, but I actually wear a mask washing your hands. We think it works wearing a mask. Maybe got to wear a mask. Don't wear a mask. You're not believing in the science. We can only deal with these so many times. We can only hear them be wrong so many times before we decide that this is just too much. And then you after a call the polytics involved. Democrats

want the country afraid. They want the economy frozen. They want things looking bleak and miserable going into November. And they don't have to get us all the way to November in lockdown for that to happen. They just want to extend this out as long as they can so that the up ramp to get us back to feeling good about the country is more steep. We have less time. They're trying to run out the clock on America's recovery.

That's what Democrats are trying to do. That is the purpose of so much of what we're hearing right now

from them, and we need to remember that. You know, here's here's Vice President Pence, thankfully, who is saying that, Yeah, if you look at fatalities, we're actually doing really well as a country in handling this pandemic right now, if you look at the per capita numbers, I would add, we did better than all the major countries in Europe, meaning large countries in Europe, Germany, Italy, France, Okay, better than all of them. Germany, US I think are pretty close.

But well, so what does this storyline? We keep getting told that Trump failed dereliction of duty, that idiot Biden says, it's all nonsense. Pence is saying, Look, we have the lowest fatalities play clipped thirteen and because of the dedication of our healthcare workers, because of our response and the response of the American people, we are grateful that today of fatalities are at the lowest level since the end of March. We continue to be vigilant as we see

rising cases. We understand that that could that could change. But again to see the precipitous decline in fatalities is a tribute to the healthcare workers in this country and to the cooperation and the compassion of the American people. We are beating this thing. We are winning against the virus. You don't hear that from people got found You even got one hundred thousand cases ah mass hysteria, dogs and cats living together. No, no, that is not what is happening.

Younger people intermingling who are at low risk from the disease with much more testing going on, is not a cause for another lockdown. It is getting us to the herd immunity that we need and also maybe an indicator of the virus weakening, which Italian doctors who are ahead of us on this curve in terms of the timing, they've been saying that there are prominent Italian doctors who

say they believe the virus is weakening. And that's obviously a very complicated process, but it involves some human immune systems that are you know, that are making it when the virus is making it such that when the virus is transmitted, it's a less virulent strain. After dealing with certain people who have after dealing with their immune systems. We don't even really understand the mechanisms of this. I mean,

keep in mind, we can't cure the common cold. Right, there's a lot here that is even beyond signs his ability to predict and even in some cases to really understand. But this is the truth of it. And oh and also remember how we were here. Oh, we don't have enough, we don't have enough, ppe, we don't have the ventilators. We bull Trump gets no credit for this. Now, we had Cuomo day after day giving press comments, Oh, we're not gonna have it on ventilated. Oh we're gonna run

out of everything. Oh we're all gonna die. I mean, he was the worst. Cuomo was the worst on this. They were talking about making him president after I mean while this was going on. That's how stupid the media is. Here's here's the vice president who's been in charge of this everything. Look, we've got we're all stacked, a stacked, racked and ready to go here to help people to

get them the care that they need. Play fourteen with regard to testing, with regard to personal protective equipment, with regard to ventilators, with regard to therapeutic medicines. We are in a strong position all across the affected areas of the country to meet this moment. But in consultation with the States, we're going to make sure that they have reinforcements in healthcare workers. They've got what they need. They've got what they need. So there we are, there, we

have it. That's what you're not hearing from other folks. That's what you're not hearing from other people. You're not hearing from the media because they don't want to tell you the truth about this. You're in the freedom hunt. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. But I start off with the premise Mike that I'm going to follow the docs orders, not just for me, but for the country. And that means that I am not going to be holding rallies. Oh what a convenient circumstance. Not gonna be

holding rallies. Wow, that's that's because Biden believes in the science so much, not because he doesn't want to be in front of Let's be honest, a few thousand people, Max who are like and hear him saying, that's why I'm that's why I'm running for head dog catcher or Tuscaloosa. I mean, President, you know, that's what's really good. But ohto, he's just believing the Fauci wisdom. That's what he's doing. He's just trying to help doctor Fauci get the message out.

No rallies, no rallies. Why doesn't Biden condemn the rallies that are happening constantly on the streets. I'm just wondering if he's so worried about health, if he's not willing to hold his own rallies because of health concerns, and clearly this virus can be lethal, So doesn't he Why doesn't he have any words of criticism for the movements going across the country right now? Why not? What about that? No? Oh, no BLM protests. They're they're magically immune from COVID nineteen,

at least according to the media. Oh, they wear masks. A lot of people wear masks. They still somehow get infected. We'd never really get to talk about that, do we A lot of people that were working in healthcare, you know, and healthcare facilities or wearing masks all the time still getting infected. That's why it's always the guidance has been mask plus social distance, it's not wear a mask and then you know, hug whoever you want in the streets and breathe on each other all day. That that is

not the guidance. But Biden, oh what a what a lucky lucky moment he has here? Yeah, harm or No, I'm not gonna do rallies because I believe in science. Also, um, you know, sometimes I don't know what time of day it is, and so that's tough to be at a rally, because where is the rally? Joe Biden? Everybody gonna fix America? Sure, thanks for listening to the buses and show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the iHeart Radio Apple or

wherever you get your podcasts. My friends, just when you thought the country had enough real problems to handle, the Democrats decide to cook up at an oldie, but a goodie, you know, one that they they have not yet given up on Russia collusion slash Trump in Putin's pocket. Here we are again, after all this stuff, four years of this Special Council investigation and impeachment which we don't even talk,

we don't even think about this anymore. Impeach this president like a bunch of maniacs on nothing on a phone call where he's talking to a foreign head of state and he kind of says, yeah, you know, look into this thing, about this thing if you can, If you don't whatever, I mean, like nothing happens. The whole thing is just crazy. Oh yeah, So impeach the president over there, all foreign influence in our elections or Joe Biden. These

people are nuts. And yet here we are again, Russia, Russia, Russia. You know it's back, and this one ties in Afghanistan too. Let me let me just say this, and I want to credit Rob O'Neill, best known for being one of the Navy seals on the mission to and in fact was the man who shot Bin Laden. Rob put out on Twitter, guess what, guys, you don't have to pay the Taliban for them to kill US soldiers. That they're just going to do it. They've been doing it for

twenty years now. So thank you Rob for seeing through the nonsense that we're hearing on this as if oh, oh, a Taliban fighter who's offered a thousand dollars to kill an American all of a sudden will kill an America. But he wasn't going to before I mean, when you really think about this, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Do I think that it's possible that the gru had operatives that we're talking to the Taliban about creating some kind of bounding system go after US troops

so they could create headaches for US in Afghanistan? We all understand the mirror image of history here that where the US was assisting the mujah Hadeen against the Soviets back in the eighties. So we know that there's we know that there's a real situation here. We know there's a reality where that could happen. But why are we hearing about this now? And we've been told that there's been of us back and forth. Oh, it was an INTEL assessment. It was brief to this person, brief to

that person. Intel assessments gets brief to people and stuff all the time. Doesn't mean that they're necessarily true, doesn't mean it's necessarily accurate. In fact, there's a lot of stuff that ends up getting briefed that is just simply absurd, right, simply never going to happen. It's not true. But they're making assessments, they're working with imperfect information. This happens. Right.

Having done, need I remind you, you know, we have the whole of rock WMD thing, and there's been some problems, been some problems in the intelligence community when it comes to assessments. Okay, so now let's take a look at the specifics of this. Why are we hearing about this, as I've been telling you, it's because they want to talk about Russia in a context where Russia is the great enemy and Trump isn't doing anything against Russia because he is Putin's puppet. And here's a part of this

that we don't seem to somehow hear about. If Trump were Putin's puppet, why would they gru be making life harder for Trump in Afghanistan by killing US soldiers? Wouldn't that seem you know? They because this is the verbiage that they'll use and say, Oh, he's a he's an agent of Russian influence in this country. Oh he does Vladimir is bidding? Well, why would why would Vladimir's gru Putent's gr you do this? It just doesn't make sense.

Doesn't make sense if you believe that, And now I'm not saying that gr you would never put out this bounty I'm just saying, if you believe that Trump is actually Putin's puppet, why would they do this? But there are there are two big reasons as to why this story. I remember this was leaked. Someone leaked this to the press because you have all these I've been telling you

this along. You're gonna have all these people that are part of the deep state you've never even heard of, that want to be great heroes for the hashtag resistance to stop the Trump presidency. And here we have an instance where sure enough they have done just that. But so you have all these great heroes of the resistance, and they're going to share information, even classified information, with

the press if it hurts Trump. This is on the one hand, because they want to just talk about Russia again. Even if you know that that's crazy, it doesn't matter. They're not telling you about Russia. CNN, the Washington Post

aren't covering this for you. They're doing it because Democrats in New York and LA and Chicago and across the country and you know, all the major blue districts, they still believe that Trump is tied him with Russia in a way that he's compromised, and they still believe this crap. Nancy Pelosi still says it on TV as of this week. So this is what the base wants to hear. It doesn't matter that it's not true, it doesn't matter that

it's all a lie. They want to hear this. It gets their base fired up, and they're gonna keep doing it. But the second part of this has to do with the war in Afghanistan. Trump keeps coming up against deeply or you know, really overestimated and overrated national security minds on the on the issue of Afghanistan. Who they always tell them, Oh, you can't pull out, Oh you can't do it. Oh you can't end this. You know, Madis was one of these guys. Bolton is one of these guys.

Oh you can't end the war in Afghanistan. What would we do without the ability to immediately, you know, call in a strike force into Jalalabad. How could how could anybody in Kansas or Oklahoma or Oregon or wherever, how could they ever sleep at night knowing that we don't have US troops ready at a moment's notice to help out in Kandahar City. Come on, we have other things to think about, other things to do. We've been there

for twenty years. If after twenty years Afghanistan would collapse and crumble into civil war without us, obviously our twenty year presidents hasn't had the intended effect and isn't going to It's not going to happen. That's why we have this deal with the Taliban. I'm just going to skip

to the end. Here's what's going to happen. The Taliban is going to do what it can to make it seem like it's you know, not being that violent and aggressive toward the United States as we're leaving, as we're hitting the exits, and then they're going to go after each other, and you're going to have your tribal warfare, You're going to have factional fighting and probably some form of civil war and Afghanistan. That's what's going to happen. There is no future in which that is not going

to happen. Right, we can do we can allow that happen now, or we can wait another five years, spend billions and billions of more US dollars, have more US troops getting maimed and murdered in many cases by their supposed you know, Afghan compatriots. Right, these infiltraders who are Taliban sympathizers who kill our guys at you know, at the shooting range or something because that's how they do things.

So enough is enough. But there's also there's also that segment of the national security apparatus and really the national security industry that just doesn't want to see us stop. Oh, we can't give up this mission. No, no, no, lose our hard fought gains in Afghanistan. I do not know. I know many people who serve the military in Afghanistan, and I was there for the CIA a decade ago. I know. I do not know a single person in or formerly or currently in the military who served in

Afghanistan who thinks that we should keep fighting there. I don't know. I don't know one. Now. Maybe some of the people that have become very close with their Afghan counterparts there from training them and assisting them, you know, they have a bond of loyalty to people that have been with them, you know, fighting alongside them. I'm not gonna understand and appreciate that, or at least I can appreciate it if I can't understand it, meaning that I've

never done that. But from a policy perspective. I don't know anybody that thinks, yeah, if we stay a little bit longer, things are going to get better. So yeah, those two factors. This is why we're talking about Russia again. We should be talking about China, which just used its new national security law to arrest hundreds of protesters in Hong Kong, and the crackdown is going to happen. The Chinese Communist Party is going to win in Hong Kong.

It just is going to take a long time. They're gonna wait till people are tired of hearing about this in the news and everything. You know, they're gonna win. And China is a real national security threat to US. But China is a big concern, and it's going to use its economic muscle in ways that will make Americans poorer and less safe going forward. That's their plan. Russia can't even get Russia's got like a trillion dollars total economy. Russia is not a Russia's biggest economic output is oil

and gas. So they're not about to overtake us. Okay, We're gonna be Okay, the Russians aren't the big threat. The Chinese are the big threat. But you can't even talk about that, especially if you're in the NBA, you can't talk about it. No, No, if you're the NBA commissioner. China's treatment of the Wagers, a Muslim minority population in western China, they can be put into concentration camps. They are captain concentration camps by the Chinese Communist Party. That

doesn't get any attention. We have all the social justice wars in the NBA who will trash our own police, who are honorable public servants doing overwhelming a fantastic job keeping us safe until the Democrats don't let them do

their jobs anymore. But we also have all these NBA superstars, multi multi millionaires who want to make sure that their jerseys are still getting sold in Beijing, you know, want to make sure that they still have those TV rights for China to broadcast the NBA coming into the NBA coffers, and you have the NBA Commissioner, Adam Silver making that very clear. Placlipit has that relationship improved. I feel it has. You know, our games are on ten cent distribution platform

in China. Um. You know, we've continued a dialogue with the Chinese with our business partners there in certain cases with certain government officials, and you know, we're just going to keep at it. We've had a long history in China and certain mass of bumping the road in our relations. Obviously, I think we all understand each other, you know, as

I've said before. You know, we come to China with a certain set of court American values and principles, and I understand also they have a different form of government and they have a different view of how things have been done I thinks should be done. And hopefully we can find mutual respect for each other. Yeah, the NBA, NBA commissioner here wants to make sure he shows all do submission and obedience to the Chinese Communist Party because it's so important. Fun Actually the NBA. Look, look, I

get it. I'm not saying that the NBA has to be always about human rights and social justice all over the world or you're in America. I just want to point out the hypocrisy of having all these players who and the commissioner who take the side of cops are bad, because that's really what this movement blms and cops are bad and racist. The system is racist and the cops are racist. Instruments of that system. But China totalitarian freedom, crushing, descent, silencing, thugocracy.

China's got a different way of doing things. That's what Commissioners Silver has. They's just got a different way of doing things. That's right. Then the need of Beijing because they're throwing so much cash at the NBA, but spit all over our cops, so to speak, because that's going to make this country better. It's all about social justice. That's the National Basketball Association for you. You're in the freedom hud. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Last question,

real quick. Some have speculator aligned though that you that you are subject to some degree of cognitive decline. I'm sixty five. I don't have word recollection that I used to have. I forget my train of thought from time to time. You got twelve years on me, sir. Have you been tested for some degree of cognitive decline? I've been testing on constantly, TESTIOK. All you know, all I gotta do is watch me, and I can hardly wait to compare my cognitive capability to the cognitive cape building

of the man I'm running. Isn't that great? He's asked the Democrats? Great hope for the future. Joe Biden, He's gonna save us all. He's asked about cognitive decline. He's like, Yeah, I'm testing for cognitive decline every day. What No, he meant like an actual test, like has a medical professor. I'm constitutly testing for my cog of decline. Proof that I don't have any because I'm testing for it all the time. That's Joe Biden. There you go. He's gonna

fix it all, folks. He's got it all under control. This is the guy that we want in charge of everything. This is the guy that we are going to have running stuff. Yep, sure enough. Also not not only is he saying that he's not going to campaign because of doctor Fauci, he's saying that that the other side, Republicans are rejecting science play seventeen. Donald Trump is in retreat. Remember back in Mars when I called as he called, talked about the needs and act like we were at

war with the virus. If he called himself a wartime president. Remember when he ex exhorted the nation to sacrifice together and quote in the face of this inevitable, an invisible enemy. What happened? Now it's almost July, and it seems like our wartime presidents surrendered, waive the right flag? What white flag left the battlefield? Today? We're facing a serious threat. We have to meet it. We have to meet it as one country. But the President gives no direction and

he puts us against one another. We can't continue like this, half recovering and half getting worse. We can't continue half wear a mask and half rejecting science. We can't continue half with a plan and half just hoping for the best. We can't continue. It's juice time and I want some cookies and I need a nap. What is he saying

exactly about the president retreating now? I think he's he has not been vocal enough on the statues and the mobs, but that's a separate issue on this issue of COVID nineteen. Retreat to me is going back into lockdown. Retreat is thinking that there's a future for America in a series of rolling lockdowns while this virus is still out there and going to be out there for at least another six months, maybe another year, maybe another ten, we don't know.

We've given ourselves the ability to treat people. We've given ourselves the ability to have our medical providers give the best care they can to people and get as many people recovered from this as they can. And we have young people getting this disease and passing through it so quickly they don't even know they have it in large numbers. And that's how a society, you know, we keep thinking. You know, the left, the left elevates the scientists as

a general thing. The left elevates a scientist to be people who always have the answers, and the problem is they don't have and they love that because I think the state, if they have the answer from the scientists, can just do anything that it wants and take over every aspect of your life, because you know, they're the true experts that understand the humility that we have to have in the face of something like this. Our scientific community does not have the answers to this. They might

at some point, but they don't right now. We are dealing with a health crisis that is causing social breakdown and pain and misery and fouc You and all the rest of them have no answers about all the rest of that. They don't know. They don't have a path forward for us other than absolute mitigation effort of the virus continuously while the numbers continue to spike. So what we have is going toward her community with the maximum

amount of pain, dysfunction, loss, and politicization possible. That's a bad plan. Thanks for listening to The bus Stson Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the iHeart Radio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. Okay, everybody, our friend David Harsani, he is back in the house. He is a senior editor over at National Review. He writes great things over there. He does this show a lot. We'd like David. He's with us. David, welcome, Thank you for

having me back. All right, man, let's start. Let's start with this one, actually, because I see that you have pointed out something that I'm also trying to make as much noise about this as possible. You have such left wing luminaries as Recline making the argument publicly that the disaster of COVID in America is the fault specifically of Trumpism, compared to what we see in the rest of the world. You had Ben Rhodes, the Obama administration's chief foreign policy propagandist,

arguing that we have done. I forgot about the specific languages that he used. But essentially we're so much worse off than Europe because Trump of course, and this is just this is just not looking at the actual data and the truth. How are people getting away with this? Oh? I mean, how do they get away with that? Anything? You have a complicit mainstream media or legacy media that allows them to say things like this and repeats them

that you know as well. Obviously it's complicated, right, But when you look at death deaths per million of the population, which I think is the most important number to look at, right, it shows how we react to it, how we treat things, we deal with the initial response. We are better than most European nations that are similar to us, other than Germany. We are better than most authoritarian nations with that which

a client, you know, easily controlled populations. Usually. Also, we can't trust those countries to give us the proper statistics. People are dying. It's a tragedy. It's largely out of our hands. The second part of that, though, is also that trying to blame red states and trump Ism and stuff like that is kind of absurd. When more people died in New York nursing homes that have died, or twice as many people almost nursing homes that have died in the entire state of Florida or the entire state

of Texas or the entire state of Georgia. So that argument is just is just really hollow and completely partisan, and it feels like there's a really a concerted effort going on to not only let Cuomo evade accountability for the disastrous nursing home decision. And you know that's not just Oh, New York is a dense place, like I hit hard. That was a decision he made that I

don't think anybody defends now. But not only are they moving the focus off of that problem, there's still you know, they're still give Cuomo a platform to lecture other states, notably red state governors like Florida and Texas, about how they're handling this, as if that's not completely insane. Oh, Karben Rna Pollum telling us to look towards New York for those solutions. I mean, the nursery home to decision

was a deadly decision that was wrong. Now, m Florida is also dense right in general, and Florida has an older population, and yet they didn't have the same problem. So I think that looking towards New York would be insane. Obviously, it's not all you know, like you mentioned, there's density issues. There's other issues as well. We might not even know what the other issues exactly are. But the idea that you know, conservatives are at fault here somehow is just

a crude partisanship. It's also idiotic. It's not true a fiction that Donald Trump was in charge of either shutting down states or opening states. That's that's a state by state, city by city decision that was made, and a lot of rest states opened up. So you're going to see a spike probably in cases, but you know, they calibrate as they move alone. That's how we have to do it. We're not a dictatorship here, and we have other concerns

we have to weigh here. And as you probably mentioned, initially, this was about been flattening the fur which we've which every state almost other than the New York and New York area has done. I gotta tell you, David, I know, sorry, I was just gonna say I have to your point ab flattening the curve. I had some some conservative friends here in New York because they do exist. We just

keep it quiet. Who said, hey, Buck, you know, I really you know, I agree with your analysis on COVID and all the stuff, But you gotta look at what's happening in Houston. Man. The ICUs are just about to overflow.

They don't know what they're gonna do. They don't have enough beds, they don't you know that we're basically and this is and I saw the headlines and I saw the news coverage of this, and I thought, WHOA, Okay, maybe I missed something here, and I dug into the numbers a little bit, and no, it turns out that the ICUs in Houston are just kept at a certain staffing level, but there are three phases of staffing level they can expand they have a surge capacity in individual

hospitals in that system. And they weren't even close that they weren't even close to getting to the point where they wouldn't be able to treat people. And this is specifically in Houston, which was supposed to be the place that was the worst hit. And also the average hospitals stay for people who were being admitted for COVID was two to three days instead of what we had in

New York, which is two to three weeks. But you had to dig into the numbers to see that, David, You had to actually look at what was happening on the ground. Otherwise the national media saying, oh my gosh, the hospitals are overflowing. We're all going to die again.

Everyone hide under their beds. That's what was happening, right, And I'm not an expert on specific cities, but I know that there's also that the you know, if you saw a little bit of spike going on occasionally, it was about a backlog of elective surgeries that were not allowed for a long time that people are now allowed to go back into the hospitals for. So it's not that simple. I don't know why. You know, you see

these spike in cases. Obviously a part of this from more testing, but obviously part of it is also from you know, opening up now. But of course numbers have not gone. But it's like, this is we made this decision, David, like we as a society, as a country, we said, Okay, we're gonna we're gonna get this under control. We're gonna reopen. There will be some ups and downs in this, but that was always a plan. Now all of a sudden, we got Faucci and others acting like, whoa, whoa, what

do you mean there's more cases? Yeah, there's going to be more cases. Yeah, I mean it's not going anyway. The idea that we can sit around way for a vaccine that's going to actually work is crazy. We may never really work. We may. I mean, there aren't vaccines for tons of viruses. So I don't I don't understand what's expect me, and I do understand what's expected from

some people. From some people, we're supposed to wait till November to see what happens, right, I mean it's about I mean, I believe Paul Krugman does not want the economy to rebound before the election. It's that simple. And I'm not saying he wants people to die, but he definitely doesn't want the economy to bounce back. And again, that's just crude partisanship. It's it's it's kind of disgusting. Now,

I don't listen. San Francisco has only had six hundred deaths right in New York had like twenty five thousand. So it's not just an ideological thing. There are obviously other factors and other things going on, But I don't think we're the ones saying it's all about ideology, right, They're saying that they're they're part is an issue for

the most part. I mean, other than Cuomo, who clear he did something right, I don't I don't go on radio and constantly, you know, bash the governor of New Jersey, which has also had a very high mortality rate, because I think that that was spill over from New York people getting in. You know, you know, I disagree with some of his decisions, but you know, he didn't have quite this. He hasn't been held up the same way as Cuomo. He didn't have you know, he has not.

He has not been treated as though he has beat this thing. He has a bad record too. But I think New York and New Jersey were the first big places to get hit and that should be factored into it. But but David, I want to switch gears for a second. We're talking to David Harsandi of National Review. Uh, you know, you told me that there's a case to be made.

You're the butt gorcitch phenomenon, which is what people say about anyone who supported Trump, mostly for Supreme Court judges, maybe for some other things, but mostly because I want the judges. And now we see some very bad decisions if you're a constitutional conservative, including one that that Gorsitch rope. But you're saying there's still upside here, This was still a good argument, meaning you should support Trump for the judges. Tell me about this. I'm not saying there's upside. I'm

saying it's by far the best argument for Trump. I'm saying that it is maybe the last chance to save many of the constitutional norms that we had. That's what I'm saying. I mean, I think there's nothing wrong with making that argument. We are not a democracy. This is not about majoritarian rule. We had every right to want

to rely on the course to stop them. And as bad as more such decision might have been, or Roberts's decisions are, there are a hundred times better than the decisions that will be made right now by Hillary pointed judges. In fact, you know, there are the Jat's decision, the decision we had yesterday about religious liberty. These would not exist if Trump hadn't been present. That's just a fact.

No matter what Trump's tweeting are doing, and for me, it's the most effective and the most important part of you know, the argument for Trump. Now, there could be other reasons to vote against them. I'm not saying that you should vote for him and I vote for him.

I don't do things like that, But I'm just saying that that is a really important argument, and I think that people can make the rational decision about the nature of transactional politics and vote from because of judges have as good a case to vote from as anyone has to vote for anyone else before we let you go, David. I heard Tucker on his show My Moment was last night of the Night before saying that in his assessment, I mean his analysis, if the Democrats get unified government meeting,

Biden wins Senate, Congress, everything's in Democrat hands. They will move to pack the Supreme Court, which feels like previously maybe for some people at least a red line, did you really think they'd do then you think they'd packed the Supreme Court if they if they thought that that was a path the power Listen, I think many of them would gladly do it if they thought they could get away with it without any sort of repercussions politically speaking,

But I'm not so sure that if Biden presidency that that happens. In two thousand eight, I thought Republicans were finished for a generation, and two years later there was a huge revolt among conservatives and everything changed. If Biden acts like Obama did it or or worse, I think that can happen again. And I think he knows that that can happen again and will be a little more careful.

Least that's my hope. But certainly Kamala Harris or you know, these other newer Democrats, I don't think they could get away with it. They do it for sure. David Arsani of National Review everybody check out his latest National Review dot com. David, great to have you all, my friend. You take care anytime. Thank you. You're in the Freedom Hunt. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. All right, we've got our friend Tina Lowe from the Washington Examiner back

in the mix. Tina, thanks so much for joining from down in our nation's capital. Hi. Bye, thanks for having me. All righty, so tell me what's going on in DC. Now? You had been this side of some of the most aggressive protest stuff. What was it about last week to tear down on the Andrew Jackson statue. How the statue topplers calmed down a bit? Is the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone still functioning? What's happening down there? So last week I went to a brunch in Clarendon, so ten minute

drive away from my apartment in Arlington, Virginia. Still still very much a part of the DC ecosystem. People were outside, people were wearing masks, people were social distancing, and things were opid, and it was great. I go downtown to make a return, and it looked like a different nation. It looked like a third world country. Still storefronts in Chinatown either boarded up or destroyed or completely empty. No people except put homeless people, and everything is debased. And

why is that? It is because these protests are no longer peaceful. They were peaceful for a time and then it turned it into looting and now it's statue toppling. I will even the things have calmed down a little bit in the sense of the scope of the thing, and I've been trying to be a little bit less online leading up to fourth of July. But it's pretty clear that the energy is an ending we're on almost

a month. You know, we actually are on a month of this thing book because it's joy now and it's clear that there is no book that stops with Mayor Murial Bowser build the Blasio. I mean, the only reason why the Seattle Chatz got taken down was because they started threatening the mayor's home. Until then she said, whatever, so what if two black men die within chatz? So what if women our assaulted? So what if property is destroyed? It only mattered once the mayor herself book Britons, do

you feel like the Republican Party? I mean, you're down there where you have the gathering of all of the Republican members of the Senate and the House on Capitol Hill, and I know you see them in see it's regularly see these people walking around the street or whatever. So you're in closer proximity and there's just much more of a sense of connectivity sometimes to these national level politicians.

You get the sense the Republican Party is just hunkering down and waiting for the storm to pass on this one, because it seems there are very few prominent members of the GOP that I can point to you right now, and if I'm missing some by all means, who are saying that this is madness and they don't want to make concessions to the mob. They don't want this to continue. They're cutting budgets for police forces in New York, They've shut down the police force at least in theory the

city council Minneapolis. This should be a moment for Republicans to assert their desire for law, order and safety, and yet it sounds like there's a deafening silence at least from the Republicans in DC. Absolutely, and considering I know a couple of the apartment buildings we have now senior members of the Trump campaign and where the Trump administration lab and I've seen how badly at least the base

level of those buildings I have been destroyed. So yes, it's kind of shocking to hear people who I mean again, you know, I know that you have talked to the president.

It is just baffled to me, from everything from supply chains in China during the coronavirus to these riots taking over the American city right now, that Trump hasn't leveraged this more because it does fundamentally make the case for his initial campaign the fact is, these democrat run cities have been ran into the ground for the last half century. And this is the natural result. It's the natural result of left wing academia becoming increasingly illiberal and helmet on

identity politics. It's the product of these cities sort of, I mean not even just in the past three months, but in the last few decades. No disregard for business, no disregard, no regard for job growth. This is this really does sort of prove the entire point of the Republican case for country. How misses being leveraged better politically is shocking to me? Your Generation Z, so you get to be our unofficial Generation Z correspondent for some of

these matters. Are you technically a millennial? I technicollenial. I'm the last year about Oh, okay, you're the very you're the very youngest possible millennial. I'm like the oldest possible millennial.

So we're at the other ends of the spectrum where but it's okay, But you know, a lot of Gen Z people, I'm just wondering, you know, when they see all this stuff going on, don't they did you ever hear people even maybe who have a more liberal point of view or Democrats that that are friends with who are saying, wow, cities are actually going to be pretty unlivable, Like,

does does this ever register for them? That everyone who knows what it means to be in a place where law and order breaks down and has been through that before, is like, I'm going to get out of here. I mean New York is having an outflow of biblical proportions of people leaving. Yeah, I definitely think so. And I think that we're seeing that. You know, this was last month record gun sales. Some of the highest gun sales can recorded American history happen in June to twenty twenty,

And it makes sense. People clearly do not feel safe. You know, I have lived in South Central La Paris, New York, and DC, and I have never felt more unstafe and never felt personally they need to carry that I have this month or this past month, because it is clear that cops are crowding out and there is just lawlessness on the streets where people live in nice areas in DC. So even if they aren't expressly saying it,

I think the numbers are telling the story. The numbers of how many people are fleeing the East Village and the numbers of how many people are applying for concealed carry licenses. It's nuts. And you know in DC, if memory serves, not only can you of course not carry around a handgun legally, but I think you're not even allowed to have pepper spray? Am I write on that? I believe I've been told this before in DC? Yeah, yea, yeah, no, it's the idea means for result defense. Yeah, well, palm

strike to the nose and then run really fast. That's the best advice you can give. You of need beat Tina, But thank you very much for joining us telling us what's going down down there on the chat.

All right, any first off, Hey, Buck, I'm listening to your show. I think since you were only on Saturdays, I've listened to many conservative radio podcasts

and I just keep coming back to yours. I was wondering if you could talk about Joe Jorgensen. There is some thought that she may be she may split the conservative vote. What are your thoughts? Thanks for your time, well, any thank you so much for being with me. Sounds like you kind of duck in and out, but you have been technically original Saturday Squad. Oh ss going back now at my U my eight year in media. I'm sorry eight year. Wait, let me think no, nine years

it was June. I think seventh is my anniversary of the first my first day at the Blaze. I believe something like that. So nine years ago, a couple of weeks ago, was my anniversary in the media, for whatever that's worth. And as for Joe Jorgensen, I don't know who that is. Perhaps perhaps I should producer marked. Do you know who Joe Jorgensen is? I did google her. I think she's a libertarian. Oh that explained well that that. Now I don't feel bad. I mean, libertarians, come on,

kem on, come on, Libertarians, come on. I mean, I like you, but you guys are kind of silly. Come on, Kevin, I'm just kidding. I love you. Listen to the show. Tell your libertarian friends listen to But I mean, kem on, h Yeah, Joe Jorganson for president twenty twenty. I never heard of this person until now, So yeah, another libertarian candidate. I don't think people are going to be too focused on libertarian issues as much, although the COVID thing certainly

does bring them up. But when you're worried about a mob pulling you out of your home and beating you in the streets, I feel like libertarianism is a tough sell. I'm just gonna put that out there. I think that might be tough. So yeah, thanks for telling me who Joe Jorgenson is. I didn't even know. I learned something. I learned something new every day on this show. Donna. Next up, Hello Buck and Mark. Producer Brandon was good,

but producer Mark was missed. Of course, we know the podcast is always up earlier when Mark is in charge. That is also true. Shield's High. Donna from one or four point nine w BUV Biloxe, Gulfport, Mississippi, w BUV in the house. We haven't heard from our WBUV folks in a little while on roll call. Thank you so much for listening and make sure that people down there know that they can listen to the Biloxi Gulfport, Mississippi area. I want to go down and visit. I hear Biloxi

is a great town, same with Golfport. But we're not supposed to travel even fourth of July weekend. Now we're being told no traveling, no fun, nothing, Just stay in your home, peasant, do as you're told, peasant. That's what the libs tell us. Now we'll add up to the list of Mississippi for the road trip tour we're gonna take in twenty twenty two Harvey Tour. Yeah, let's wait till the country's not in a lockdown from a pandemic

for the RV tour, but it'd be fun. Um. I am definitely gonna be in Austin, so KLBJ in the house. I'm definitely gonna be in Austin this fall for a visit because my brother will be down there, so I mean that's one hundred. I'm definitely going down to Austin. So all finally, and I told him, I said, we're just gonna put out the team buck bat signal and anyway, we're Gonnau with my brother and I who's also a

great guy. We're gonna just be at a barbecue joint in Austin and people can just show up and hang out. That's that's We'll keep it real casual. But I want to meet some of the folks, so that's that's what we'll do. So I am gonna I know, I've been talking about Austin forever. It's all right. Prouser Mark wants us to do a you know, a cevich a sit down in Miami because that's where he wants the freedom Hut to move. But that's another time that way. Isn't

that like raw fish? Yeah? I mean I like sushi, but I only eat the cooked stuff. You're a cooked sushi guy. You like California roles. I like a Philadelphia role. Okay, at least it's a Philly roll. Hey, guys, is from Phillis. I hate Philadelphia, but I like the Philly roll. If what is the what is the opposition sports team on in any sport that upsets you them? Like? What who is the evil professional sports franchise and producer? Mark? One franchise or one city. You can give me the franchise

and then you can give me the city. But what is I mean the city in general that most of my team's arrivals with would be Philadelphia. Okay I thought that was the case. But what is the one team that gets under your skin the most? See I don't say it about the team, I say it about their fans. The New York Yankees. The New York Yankees fan base is the most irritating fan base in sports. I can't even they just can't wait to tell you, Oh, we've

won twenty seven championships. Yeah, how many of those championships would you win before your grandparents were born? Damn you? Yeah, Priuster Mark trov It's a good thing. This is a good thing. This is not on WR and NYC because a man they hate mail from, although I think it's mostly Mets fans that listen to WR. I mean I've said similar on that those airwaves before Buck Really yeah, the Yankees fans, I hear you. For me, it was

always the New England Patriots. But I kind of kind of respect them too, you know, I hate them in respect. It's like the Bulls in the nineties for the NBA. I hate them, but I respect them. I'm a Giants fan. So like, we beat Brady twice. That's some of the two most amazing sporting events I've ever watched. I think, honestly, we're the two victories over the Patriots by the first one was I mean, they were both great, but the first one was just so much better. Yeah. Well, the

catch were against the helmet. I see, I actually saw these things. I remember the Tyree catch and the fact that the Patriots were undefeated. Yeah, unbelievable. It almost almost as good as the ending of Miracle producer Mark, which I watched on your say, so you know that's a real sporting event that happened right here. Where are you? Yeah, I'm just saying so you could just say, you know, the nineteen eighty US hockey team or the Miracle on ice. But I never saw that real game. I've only seen

the movie. Well were you you weren't old enough freely and were you even unborn nineteen eighty? I don't pretty only one, Okay, so you weren't even born yet, So that makes sense. There we go. Huh, baby, Buck would have been all about the American victory over the over the Ruskies, though, Sarah, you're kicking us off next year. Hey, Buck, thanks for keeping a real love the show. Thank you. Sarah finally dawned on me why the mask wearing mandate

brings out the irrational defiance in me. Maybe it's because the media has lied to me too many times. They tell me that life evolved from pond scum, that my unborn there's a mask, not a human, That my daughter might be a boy, that manly men are toxic. They tell me Trump is a racist, that he colluded with Russia. I could go on. They have lost all credibility. Why on earth would I believe them anymore? And now they want me to mask up because they said, so go

pound sand I'll take my chance. He's living a clean country girl life. PS. Welcome back Mark with a heart. You gotta welcome back with a heart, Producer Mark. I just like to give the fans what they want. That's producer Mark apparently. Yeah, it's just it's one a little more piece of producer Mark. That's all you know. Again, don't let don't let missus Mark listen to this episode. It's all I'm gonna say. But oh yeah, no, snow Princess loves producer Mark. Here, that's a whole other Oh oh,

and you love it. She also loves the Royal Caller. So, um, what do we have here? Next? We have Connie Connie. Oh wait, wait, there's one thing I wanted to tell you guys about that I didn't get to on the show. I can't even tell if this is real or not. But there is a motherboard, which is I think a website has a suggested inclusive sexual health language list that's out and I mentioned this at the top of the show.

So I wanted to get to it. So the gendered language on this list, and I don't know if this is this almost seems like it can't be real. But I don't know. It seems like it's real. It's being shared all over social media with the Libs deny this, with the Libs say this is wrong. I don't think so. Gendered language. Breast feeding should be replaced with chest feeding, that's crazy. Female reproductive organs should be replaced with internal

reproductive organs. A uterus slash ovaries should be referred to as internal organs. A prostate should be referred to as internal glands. I mean, good it, this gets really A woman should be referred to as a person who menstruates and it goes on. A mother should be referred to as a birthing person. Producer Mark, did you get all that? Yes, I'm taking copious notes. Yeah, yeah, we're these are these are the words that we're supposed to use now to

talk about these things. You know, when I tell you the left is insane, I don't mean that as a hyperbole. I mean they're actually they've actually lost their minds, Like they're actually deranged and no longer able to think in reasonable logical terms about issues of politics and about issues of biology. It would seem too but you know, man, I gotta say these libs every day. It's like a kick in the internal organs or external organs because I'm a dude whatever. You know what I'm saying. So where

are we now? Oh? Yes, it's more roll call. You're in the Hut. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. All right, we continue here with our role call. Connie writes in I really wish people would leave our TV shows and movies alone. If they don't like them, don't watch them, but leave the rest of us alone. I've been watching Succession with the Snow Princess. I have to say it's quite good. It's quite good. I mean, I'm

enjoying it very much. But yes, if you go back in time, some of the most beloved TV shows of all time would not pass the test of wokeness. They've had to change Simptons, Simpson's characters and Simpson's content. They've had to They've got problems with the show Friends, which I will admit I like more than I probably should.

They've had to change stuff from actually has Seinfeld producer Mark You're more Seinfeld guy has that ever gotten in trouble for unwokeness, you know, in retrospect, you know what I mean. Yeah, No, I have not seen this anyone come at Seinfeld yet. Yeah, I'm sure it. See I did see who's the Cosmo Cramer guy. I mean we all saw that he completely lost his mind yet racist Michael Richards, Yeah, yeah, Mike. I had nothing to do with the show. It just was he whoa, he went.

He went to a very scary place there anyway. I mean, I think he had some kind of a nervous breakdown, but he said some very bad things. But you know, it's I don't think Seinfeld's goten in trouble. But Friends definitely has for fat shaming for uh, you know, LGBTQ mocking things like that for sure, even though Friends is actually very progressive in its own way. Not that I'm gonna get too deep into this conversation because people are

going to start pressing pause or switching the station. But they had a guy that whatever, the guy whose wife was actually a lesbian and he's raising the child with her, and you know, so there's some progressive stuff in the show. But you know, Joey does make fat jokes. Sometimes you know Joey Joey was Joey was Joey a very underrated character. I think the writing was quite good. Uh, Josh how Buck, very grateful as always for your show on KLBJ. WHOA

Austin yeeha? Is that a pretty good Texas yeha. I'm trying. I'm trying every I am a Yankee. Yes, it is true. Not a sports team produce will never do that again. Yeah, I know everyone KLBJ Austin is shaking their head side to side to side, like Buck, we're gonna we're gonna pull your We're gonna pull your Texas card if you ever do that again. And I don't think they just do that randomly. I don't know. I'm from New York, is what I like to think of Texas. Everyone's like, hey, partner,

you know, I don't know. I've never been to Texas, but I know they don't just go around saying yeeha. I know I spent a lot of time in Dallas, and in Dallas, the conversations are more like, oh, you should come check out our artist in cheese company that just opened up in Uptown. I'm like, oh, okay, it's they're not like, hey, partner, let's ride a horse. You know that's not so. I mean, I assume it's the

same thing in Austin. If anything, there's probably more artisan cheese shops and people pickling their own beats and such. All right, Josh writes the event arising before the liberal black hole, which is Austin. Have you read the OpEd by doctor Simone Gold MD about the uselessness of masks? She says the virus is two hundred to one thousand times smaller than the pores on cloth masks. It's like

putting up a chain link fence to keep out mosquitos. Also, do you think the NBA will allow messages like stand with Hong Kong on the new social justice jerseys shields high? Josh, great stuff. I have not seen this op ed by Simone Gold, MD, but I'm curious to read it. And I keep saying for people that are that are like mask superusers, that there's no question that you can get the virus, that it is possible to contract virus like

this through through your eyes. And just ask himbody, if you touch a contaminated surface with this virus and then you rub your eye, are you at are is that a very clear route of transmission for by the answers. Yes, so if you can get it by touching something and touching your eye, the aerosols or saw as virus getting your eyes also a risk. Now they might say it's a lesser risk, but I think, how would you even do a study on this? How would you even really know?

So you think these things through and you come up with conclusions that are based in logic and reason and not what is often politicized. Spokespersons for the scientific community, And as for the stand with Hong Kong, the answers, No, the NBA will not allow that. I guarantee you the NBA will. You know, they will shut down.
