Time For The GOP To #Resist

do want to thank Congress. I don't want to thank all of the great people of Washington, DC, all of the people that we worked with to put this miracle together. So have a good life. We will see you soon. Thank you, Thank you very much. It is the end of an era and the beginning of a new one. Donald Trump no longer President of the United States. Joe Biden sworn in number forty six. Get ready for what this means. You should brace now for the Democrat left backlash.

It has been building up for four years. I wish I could tell you that I thought this moment in time would be one of national unity, of coming together, of sanity back in government. But you wouldn't even believe that if somebody said it to you. Do you think that Trump derangement syndrome just goes away now that Trump is no longer president. Now it's just Democrat derangement syndrome. Now, this is settling scores, it's silencing opposing voices, it is

crushing descent. That's what they're really planning here, That's really the idea behind all of this. They have no interest in a third way. They have no interest in finding a triangulation, a middle ground, a halfway mark. No, they have control of the House of the Senate and of the presidency. And this means that we are now living in a country that's going to feel very different for at least some time. We have to be prepared for what this means, for our ability to even speak out

against this. You are now going to have ninety five percent of the journalistic establishment completely in the pocket of a presidential administration. They warned us for four years, they screamed and cried about tyranny from Trump, when every journalist who opposed him got richer, more famous, more time on TV,

which is what they really want. Those three things. Every journalist who spoke out against him was advancing their careers, and we were supposed to think that somehow Trump was so much of the establishment and so much of the swamp arrayed against him, was going to seize control, authoritarian power forever. That's what they told us. But that didn't happen, did it. Now. There was no seizure of power. There

was just the peaceful transition that we've seen. And now we have a Joe Biden administration that is going to have no pushback from the people whose jobs are supposed to be speaking truth to power. Dissent is no longer patriotic. You can be assured of that. In fact, if you disagree with the Biden administration, you will be called things like a COVID denier. You'll be called a white supremacist,

a racist, a mask denier, an insurrectionist. Even they'll throw everything they can at you, and you have to be prepared for that. This is now the future of this country. This is where we are. I'm happy to hear that. And Trump is planning to continue to spread the message and in some ways may even grow even more powerful in immedia sense than he has been up to this point. Depends on what choices that what choices he makes. Here, he is saying he's always going to be in the

fight for us. Play five. I will always fight for you. I will be watching, I will be listening, and I will tell you that the future of this country has never been better. I wish the new administration great luck and great success. I think they'll have great success. They have the foundation to do something really spectacular. And again, we put it in a position like it's never been before. Despite the worst plague to hit since I guess you'd say,

nineteen seventeen, over one hundred years ago. And despite that, despite that, the things that we've done have been just incredible. And I couldn't have done done it without you. There will be no honeymoon between Trump supporters and this Biden administration. It will not exist. They won't allow it to. You've already been told that the price of your freedoms, the price of your rights, is submit or face the consequences. Submit or be d platformed, be boycotted, have your business destroyed,

your reputation ruined. We are all now supposed to think that what Joe Biden, this almost eighty year old middling mediocrity from Delaware, is really going to be the guy that turns the whole country around. You look at the initial things that are being done here, the orders that he's putting out, and it's obviously meant to erase what Trump had done as quickly as possible. So that's the problem with executive orders. They're only as good as long

as that's the executive you've got. But I'm much more concerned about a culture now that has at its core, a political culture that has at its core not only are Trump supporters out of power and to be disdained, but they are enemies of the state. That's what the rhetoric in recent days has been Trump supporters, Trump voters. I'm not talking about a few specific radicals or a few specific crazies who have done bad and illegal things. And as we know, they exist on both sides of

the aisle. And there's been a whole lot more of that from the left then there has been from the right in the last four years. But they will not view it that way. Of course, they will not agree with us that the left poses now a truth that

threat of authoritarianism. Instead, what are going to do? They're going to leverage the apparatus of the state to make sure that we can't even discuss what a not up for the job cognitively declining absurdity Joe Biden is and if you even bring this up, they're going to say that you're basically the equivalent of somebody who wants to overthrow the United States government. The way that they have approached this the spite, you'll notice that there's not a

lot of happiness among Democrats. Here and there. You may see some celebration. I know today there's pomp and circumstances, but what you're really seeing is a relief that they

have that they can finally unleash their rage. The Democrat mindset now instead of being all happy and talking about what a great future we're all going to have now that the media is going to do some of that, to be sure, but the overwhelming feeling that they seem to be showing all the rest of us is like a dog that has been on a leash and in a cage that is now let loose to go and bite whomever. They are angry about what has happened for

the last four years. They are angry about all the terrible things that Trump did, and I wish we hadn't had the last three months we had of the Trump presidency, because it has added a lot of field of the fire. It has made things much more difficult, at least in the short term, to continue on and support a MAGA agenda. I don't even know if that term will really be used anymore. People are talking about Trump is m without Trump, They're talking about who the future of the party may be.

I don't believe that's where the conversation would be if we had not gone through the last three months the way that we had. Just remember this, at the end of the day, you are what you do and what you stand for, and that doesn't change because of who the president is. It doesn't change because the Democrats manage to squeak out of victory in the Senate or maintain their control under Nancy Pelosi in the House. They can't change who you are, what you stand for, or what

you do. So just stick to your principles, be patriots, support those who share your values and care about the country in the way that you do, and be prepared for what's coming. This is not going to be pleasant. I would be lying to you if I've set otherwise. The Democrats are going to settle scores. They're going to make examples. They are going to unleash the wokeness on all of us. But we have been through worse and we will get to better times. Do not forget that today.

And just when you can think back to those moments in twenty eighteen and twenty nineteen when I would tell listeners of this show, this is about as good as it's going to get in this country. Enjoy it. I hope you savored those moments, because now we're on the other side of the equation. It's time to get ready, shields high. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Follow

Buck on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Seventy four million Americans ought not to be slandered based on the action of a couple thousand who participate in a violent mob at the capital two weeks ago. And because a violent mob attack the capital two weeks ago, that doesn't mean that

they should have their view censored. It doesn't mean they should be at risk of losing their job or having their business boycotted, losing their slots and high schools or colleges that choose selectively doesn't mean that they should have to pay higher taxes or open their borders or defund their police. That is crazy and it is a complete non secretary. But the Democrats realize that that agenda is unpopular.

But they also have all the other commanding heights of our society, from the media, to education to entertainment in their corner. What those people need, with those seventy four million people who voted for the president, voted for Republicans need or Republicans and conservatives in the Congress, in the state legislatures to stand up for their rights. And I promise you I will do that, let's hope. So it's going to be on all of us. Now, that's what

I think people are recognizing today. Trump is not going to swoop in and save us from the insane leftist stuff. Trump is not going to be the one who's just setting the national news agenda day in and day out. He won't be able to slap down the fake news with one tweet. Now, it's on all of us. Sure, he'll have a voice and continue to have a lot of people who support him. And but it's going to be different now. You know that. I know that, And we are now as a movement of conservatives, we are

now on our own effectively. I mean, we could come together, but I'm saying that we don't have a leader of the Republican Party at the current moment. We just have to continue to push and do everything that we can to hold back the torrent of madness that I think is going to descend upon the country. Remember, it's not only Trump derangement syndrome that we have to be aware of. It's also a year unlike any other in my lifetime and certainly in living memory, where we've gone through a

global pandemic. People are angry. I'll even tell you I'm more short tempered than I have been in a long time, just because being in a very blue city in a very blue state over what's happened in the last twelve months has really shown that you will suffer if you let the authoritarian left run your life. You will suffer

if they are in charge. And a lot of people, even if they like those policies, have recognized that we've just been through a miserable year year with four hundred thousand COVID deaths, endless lockdowns, all this shifting advice and mandates about mitigation measures, all this stuff. It's a lot of anger out there I wish I could say that the Democrat push would be for one of of prosperity and just joy at what is their newfound power now.

But I really do believe that vengeance is going to be much higher up on the mind of a lot of the political operatives, the senior administration officials. I hope I'm wrong. You know, there are some things where I can tell you straight up. My fondest wish is that what I'm telling you turns out to be entirely untrue. That Democrats are the bigger men. So are we even allowed to say, oh, the bigger man are the bigger non gender specific, non binary, gender non specific people, the

bigger that they're the bigger Homo sapiens. Is that what we're allowed? What are we supposed to say? Get ready for a lot of that language policing, a lot of checking in on the loyalty of government officials at also asking more and more questions about who you voted for at whatever company you work for, because it's not that you were a Republican and voted for Donald Trump, it's wait, you supported the insurrectionist. Maybe you need to go talk to hr. Wait, you are a company that advertises on

Fox News or a conservative network of some kind. Maybe you need to be threatened with a boycott. You'll notice this didn't happen in twenty sixteen. When Trump came into office. It was all right, we got an agenda, let's go after it, let's do some things. It's got some taxes, get some executive orders going. But it wasn't a purge. Nobody really thought that Democrats were going to lose their livelihoods, their businesses, their freedoms. The First Amendment is under greater

assault now it has been in my lifetime. There are very intelligent people, very serious observers of American life, who are writing about a new war on terror against conservatives in this country and the expansion of the police state

to encompass what is clearly not already criminal activity. Why would they be talking about this, Why would they be saying, we need to expand surveillance, we need to we need to look at legislation to address the address what exactly everything that happened at the Capitol Hill riot that should not have happened, was already very illegal and people are facing very long criminal sentences for it. So what exactly has to be addressed. You'll see you'll see who's in charge.

You'll see how the deep state now rises to the surface. It's been operating somewhat in the shadows for the last four years, but all of a sudden, now the people that are going to be calling the shots will be folks at the CIA, and the FBI and the EPA and you name it, who think that climate change is an existential threat. And if you don't sign on to that, there's something wrong with you. Oh you you can't be trusted.

You don't believe that any public policy that we think is necessary to address the growing threat of climate change is inherently justified. You don't you're not down with that. I don't think we can trust you anymore. What's so fascinating, of course, is that the left has created this revisionist history. They always talk about McCarthyism. They forget that there were in fact communist penetrations of the government, and they were

all Democrats. Just so you know, it was the Democrats that the communists found their fellow travelers, and it was not staunch patriotic right wingers. That was not how that happened. But they talk about it as though this was all just a fraud, This was all based in lies, when in truth there were a lot there were Communist penetrations, including at a very high level Soviet penetrations of the

United States government. And now they're going to do the great, the great Conservative scare, if you will, right, instead of a Red scare, the Maga scare. They're going to look to find ways to get rid of it because it was also the Trump culture. It was also those moments where all of a sudden, people felt like they had a hat to wear, a slogan to chant, and people around them who shared their beliefs and approach politics with them. Joy. If anything, that's one of the most powerful legacies of

the four years of Trumpet office. But Democrats want to get rid of all of that now. They want to make America feel shameful for wanting to make America great. You're listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Make sure you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeartRadio app or

To Trumps and he may be drawing to a close, But the dysfunction, the corruption, the authoritarianism, and the moral rot Trump exposed within the gopn and our system will remain and we can't just let it go. We got to fix it and we have to hold accountable to people responsible for it, from the top all the way down. Otherwise, this four year long nightmare we've all lived through could very well happen again.

Don't you think that if he pardons himself, Sonny, that admits that he's guilty, and then when the impeachment in the Semmit comes up, what are they supposed to do with that? They have to convict him. He himself is saying I'm guilty, absolutely absolutely, But his defense, I think, is going to be, well, this is a witch hunt. This is a witch hunt against me, So of course I have to try to pardon myself because everyone's out against against me. And guess what, seventy four million people

are going to believe that because they've been brainwashed. Joy, I really believe that they have been brainwashed by this misinformation campaign over the past four years. Can't you feel all the healing and the unity. Oh, these Democrats they want to let bygones be bygones, don't they They want to just be friends now. They want to get along and everything's gonna be just fine. Not so much the idea that they're gonna hold people accountable. They're really sticking

to this one, aren't they. And I think they're gonna they're gonna try it. That just means vindictiveness. It means find your political enemies and make their lives difficult, make them miserable, do whatever you have to do to punish them for wrong think. Remember they're saying Trump is the authoritarian. They've had a peaceful trans transfer of power. Republicans are saying, okay, Joe Biden's the president. We're not doing the Russias stole

the election thing. That's what they did for four years. Republicans now have said, all right, you know, Electoral College certified, it's done, it's over with. I know there was the right of Capitol Hill and it was awful, and we see now just how much the left is using that

awful incident to try to bash all Trump supporters. But now now we're we're where they said they wanted to be, with the Democrats in charge of everything, basically, and sure enough, instead of saying we're just gonna show you guys what good governance looks like, it's let's go find people who need to be punished. Let's blacklist them from jobs. Let's prevent them from being able to speak online. I mean

the social media and the tech purge. I think it's only gonna get worse because now they've got cover from the federal government. Now they've got people at the very top of the government hierarchy. You're gonna say, yeah, that's how the First Amendment works. Crush people that you don't like. Great, Oh, oh, I'm sorry. Companies can do whatever they want, they say for this, but go bake that cake and write on it whatever. Whatever. The person who wants the cake tells

you to write on it. You have to do that. If you have if you have to write there is no God. God is false. You have to write that on a birthday cake. You better do that or else. Oh I'm so oh that's a first to oh wait what Oh, companies or private individuals can't do whatever they want in their business. It turns out, isn't that interesting. It's not quite that clear. The expansion of the term insurrection now to include just saying things that the Democrats

don't like. This will be abused. They're doing this for a reason. It's not just some catharsis. Because they have all this pent up, just this this bile. They're overflowing with it after four years of Trump. They can't help themselves. I mean, Sonny Houston. They're on the view saying Trump Trump supporters have been brainwashed. They just Democrats just voted for Joe Biden to be president. I don't care that he is president. He's a loser. We all know it.

This is not an impressive person. This is not a person with leadership skills. This is a guy who just showed up and did what he had to do to play the system and contribute very little for a very long time. But they could make him president because he wasn't what the Democrat Party really is. Don't you see? The whole thing is a head fake. Joe Biden isn't really symbolic of what the Democrat Party's all about. Now. He's not woke, he's not leftist, he's not radical, but

he's also not really anything. So he'll do whatever the woke leftist want him to where and when he can, and he gives He gives the corporations less anxiety because big tech and big companies are gonna be just fine inner a Biden presidency. Oh here, Amazon, Google. You know, if you're you're somebody that's you know, that's a that's a winning proposition. I'm sure if you've got investments in some of these major companies out there under a Biden presidency,

they're gonna do just fine. Small business has been decimated by the pandemic and lockdowns that Democrats have largely pushed, and it's not going to come back because small business is too autonomous. There's too much liberty involved in somebody running their own commercial venture, providing products or services to a public that wants them in a lawful and productive Fashion's that they don't. They want megacorporations that can have D and I specialists and on every floor of the building.

They're gonna want HR departments to be the shock troops of wokeism, and they're gonna get it. They're gonna pass federal legislation and executive orders that create these new concepts around equity. You know what equity is. We tell people what they get and we tell other people what they don't get based on ethnicity, gender, skin color, you name it.

That's right, that's what we're definitely heading for. I never mind, of course, the likelihood here that we may have a major challenge facing a Biden administration that has Joe Biden in charge. This guy just isn't up for the job. And I know that he won, or you know, I know that he's president, and he's not up for the job. So what does that mean? Make note now of how journalists and the the the corporate media will sneer, They will sneer at anyone who even raises the prospect of

Kamala Harris taking over for Joe Biden. And yet I think we all understand that there's a very serious possibility just based on age. It's this isn't some outlandish theory. I mean, the guy is gonna be eighty by the mid terms, you know, so we're gonna have somebody who's getting into his early and then mid eighties, especially if he goes into a second term. Come on, now, Kamala at some point just gets to be president. Isn't that interesting? Isn't that a fascinating way for this to continue on?

So I think that we have to just take a moment here, take a breather, and recognize that we are going to be dealing with a very a very emboldened and aggressive Democrat left now and they could. You know, they have an opportunity here. It's all been set up, and the President really alluded to this in his closing remarks. With the vaccines already being distributed, with the worst of winter now pretty much behind us, we're going to be entering a phase here where things could be really good

for the country. You have the reopening of you have the return of basic freedoms, but no, what you're going to get is more mask mania, lockdown, lockdown demands and then only on their timetable and their schedule. Only when the Democrats say so, can you start to have some aspects of your life back. They like this control. Oh, and they're going to reassert it for other things too.

You don't think that they believe that climate emergency is enough to violate the Constitution, don't You don't think they believe that there will be ways for them to expand on the de dictatorial powers that Democrat governors like Cuomo and Newsom have taken into their hands here because of an emergency. But you think this is the only emergency,

Just wait till they declare a gun violence emergency. And they did, and they say there's a mandatory statewide buy back in effect for certain weapons too extreme, You say, no,

it is not. Can't say it's too extreme. When Democrats are running around telling everybody that they needed to make sure that the National Guard current, that the National Guard that was that was assigned to guard the Biden inauguration, twenty seven thousand or so of them needed to be vetted for pro Trump sympathies, as if that's that's equivalent al Qaeda jihadism, right, the ideology of a global jihad being waged for the the creation of a caliphate to

dominate all people's, all religions for all time. Yeah, being a Trump supporter, it's just like that. Here's DC's Mayor Bowser who's totally on board. There's the mayor washing DC totally onboard. Yeah, we got to make sure there's no no, there was nobody in the National Guard who, you know, too much of a Trump support, too much of a

Trump radical play forward. When you have guards coming, guardsmen and women coming from all over the country at this time, I do think that it is is prudent to make sure that they're being vetted and that anybody who cannot pledge allegiance to um to their missions and maybe pulled by other views. Needs not only to be removed from this duty. They need to be removed from the guard, kicked out of the military for now. You could say, oh no, they would only do this if you were

a real extremist plotting violence. You believe that you think that they're gonna let let bygones be bygones. Now. You got a lot of hashtag maga up on your Facebook page. They want to give that one a second thought. You got a lot of Trump photos and Trump paraphernalia all over your social media accounts or your office cubical for that matter. Democrats want you to know they're not forgetting

this one, but I'm not forgetting it either. We remember who we are, what we stand for, and what we're trying to do for this country, and that doesn't change because of one election cycle. It doesn't change because of the departure of one politician from office. Our fight continues on. We may have to play some defense for a while, but it will only be a while. This is the

My fear is that if Republicans, particularly Republican leadership, goes along with this impeachment, they'll destroy the party. And so I think it's a huge mistake. I think it's a hugely partisan exercise on the part of the Democrats, but for Republicans who go

along with it, I think they'll destroy our party. Donald Trump isn't everything in the party, but he did bring a lot of people to the party, and I think it's a huge mistake for people to say, oh, well, we're just going to impeach him, and that all of the blue collar workers that he brought to our party are going to stay. No. I think quite a few them will be unhappy. So I hope our leadership will think twice about these undercurrents and rumblings about them actually

voting for impeachment. I sure hope it doesn't happen. It's a disaster if they do that. Republicans should absolutely not. Joe Biden is now president. Why are we even Why is there even a conversation about continuing in the Congress

to take punitive action against a now ex president. What is the point of this, What does it serve oh to allow for a cleansing of the Republican Party, right, they have to get rid of the moral rot, as one late night alleged comedian says, they have to make sure that what should we be taking advice about our party, about the Republican Party from the likes of Harry Reid.

Here he is sixteen. I all things, working with McConnell for many years, I have he can be accused of a lot of things, but one of them he's not done. And I think he realizes that Trump is a drag on the Republican Party. And I think that that was the opening salvo for Mitch McConnell to disengage from Trump to try to re establish a rebrand the Republican Party.

Trump is a dragon the Republican Party, according to Harry Reid, which means you definitely don't want to impeach this guy and go through that whole removal process so that he can never be in office again. You know, if the Senate has this trial. This is wrong on so many levels, But I always tell you don't take advice from your enemies, don't don't do what they want you to do. And this right now is a perfect example of a situation like that. It would be. It would be absurd, absolutely

absurd at this stage to do it. It's also unconstitutional. It's also just unnecessarily divisive within our own party. Trump is gone. He left. Okay, they didn't have to send in squat teams to the Oval Office to drag him out or anything. All that crazy crap that people were saying. That didn't happen. He's gone, he left the Oval Office. All right, Well, now what we're gonna repudiate everything? Yeah, the Trump presidency wasn't perfect. No presidency is. And in

the end, yes, I got Matt, I was. I was angry at this administration for what happened after the election. I will admit that I was an m very annoyed about what they did and what and what went on. I'm talking about from the administration. I'm not talking about the actual rioters. I've already spoken about that. But the first three years of the Trump presidency were in a lot of ways just great, very good policymaking decisions, good

on trade, good on the border, good on immigration. You go down the list of all of Trump's accomplishments, the things that were done. Some excellent judicial picks, a lot of excellent judicial picks, and of course a number that went to the Supreme Court. Kavanaugh and Amy coneyt ACB may end up being one of the greatest things that

Trump even got done. Kavanaugh perhaps not as much, although I still hold to this day that the Kavanaugh hearings and what the Democrats, including Vice President Kamala Harris did to Brett Kavanaugh, was a moment of clarity, a moment of recognition for millions of conservatives across the country. Well, a lot more people are going to be getting the Kavanaugh treatment now, make no mistake about it. All many more people are going to be attacked, maligned, slander, deep platformed, canceled,

you name it. This is, unfortunately now, the kind of political climate. This is a consequence of our elections. Now, the Democrats when they win, think that they have a free hand to punish people for their wrong idea is it's it's not enough to be able to enact the policies that they want. They want to be able to humiliate, control and force the other side into submission and then maybe we can have a conversation and then maybe we

could have a discussion about unity again. Right first, there has to go through this period perhaps let's say a year or two of it, you know, up and up until the midterms, of removing all remnants of Trumpism from not just politics, but public discourse. Everything you're gonna see if you've already had some of this, they're gonna see stores and in place say we're not even we're not

going to sell maga gear. I mean, they're they're going to try to treat uh, anything that is that is directly affiliated with Trump as as some kind of hate symbol that they have to if they have to expunge into their minds from the culture. So we're the ones who have to say, no, you can't do that. This isn't the Soviet Union. Libs. Even though you've won this election, you're in the freedom hunt. Thanks for listening to The buck Sexton Show podcast. Get the latest from Bucket buck

Sexton dot com. Where we go from here? What's next for the GOP, for the Republican Party, Faithful, the base and everything around it, everyone in between. Let's get to our friend Rob Smith. Now. He is a veteran and author and contributor to the first TV Rob How are you feeling today? I'm good man, I'm good aboutself. I mean, I'm I'm obviously I'm disappointed for the country, but I also understand that we're going to get through this. It'll be all right. I hate the phrase it's not the

end of the world, but it really isn't. But let's let's get more constructive than that. I mean, first off, what were your feelings about this presidency on its as its last has now happened? I mean, he has Nola. It is now ex President Trump. What you're feeling about the four years? I feel like we should start to have a conversation about what really happened here, the good, the bad, and the ugly. Yeah. So, look, I did

an episode of my podcast at Lunches this week. It's basically called we all need to end our obsession with President Trump, and I think that how we move forward as a goop and when we think about really what this administration was in the past four years, there have been a lot of amazing things that happened. We got the best economy that at one point the world had ever seen. We had criminal justice reform, we had cutting

through red tape. We had basically a vaccine for a deadly virus that crippled the world in less than a year like these are some really really amazing things, and I think that as we look back at this presidency, we can see some really great things that happened in terms of policies, like the policies were great, in terms of arguing with no name reporters, in terms of some of the tweets, in terms of some of the kind of NonStop controversies. I think that we all got a

little over that towards the end. But I think that this is not so much. I think President Trump had had a lot to do with it, but it was also I mean, he was just frustrated by battling a media industry and entertainment industry, so many people who were against him, and I think that's where all of that

stuff came from. But I think in order for us to move forward as conservatives, as a Republican Party, I think that a lot of us have to get over this obsession with President Trump, and by that I mean to make one person be the entirety of all of our political hopes or all of our political dreams are basically the political future other Republican Party is very shortsighted. I think that a very strong thing that he said during his farewell address was that we built this movement.

He kept on saying we we we, and I thought that was very strategic and that was amazing, because it is going to be up to we the people. Whether you're a part of the MAGA movement, whether you're just a mainstream conservative, whether you're an independent or libertarian who just so happens to be attracted to conservative policies, It's going to be up to us to take the mantle

from here on out. And I think that this now official Biden presidency is going to give a lot of us opportunities to say, look, guys, this is what you wanted, and we are going to show you why these policies don't work, because, unfortunately, we are going to see it over the next four years in real time, why left democratic policies do not work. Rob Where do you come down on the debate over whether Biden is going to

be a a moderating force within the Democratic Party. I don't think it's fair to call him a moderate, because the Democrat Party is not in any way a centrist party anymore. But do you think that he'll be because essentially he got elected because he didn't he didn't frightened certain voters who would be uncomfortable voting for saying I've been socialists, right. That was the pat was really the pitch. He's been around forever and so he was non threatening

in a sense. But there is a very radical left, not fringe, but now I think we could say vanguard in the Democrat Party. Do you think that they're gonna have Joe Biden as a moderating influence on their desires or is he just going to be a pass through for what they want? Essentially? Look, I think he's going

to be a passing for what they want. And I think that he's not gonna stop any of this rhetoric that's coming from these far left and I can't even say far left media personals and whatever, because these are Congress congressmen and women that are saying some pretty insane things. Joe Biden's not going to stop them. He's not going to be a moderating force to this, because what it is is that the left blank of the party sees

blood in the water. He may not repeat some of the stuff that he's not going to stop them from saying it. And I don't think that he's going to be a very moderating force at all. I think that that there are a lot of people that get that get a lot of attention via what they say on Twitter and what they say on social media. Look at AOC looking Corey Bushel and Jamal Bowman, look at all of these people. They're very, very far left. And Joe

Biden is a pretty week leader. As a matter of fact, he failed the first test as a leader of Democrat Party in order to moderate people when he failed to really speak up forcefully about the riots that left America in claims over the past summer that were started by people on the left and that were cheerleaded by the now Vice president Kamala Harris. So is he going to be a moderating for us? No, I just absolutely not. He's two week of a leader to be a moderating

for us. Speaking of Rob Smith, he is a veteran author and first TV contributor. Rob, you were somebody who who I think perhaps celebrated maga culture is fair to say, right, I mean you never walked away from that. You were very very popular among the maga folks out there. And what do you you know? One thing that I will say about Trump that I felt never really got enough attention.

Was that there were there were young people. Uh, there were young you know, there there were people in their twenties and thirties who felt like, you know, they could go and wear a MAGA hat and and that they there was a culture around Trump. There was a kind of a kind of of political um you know, a political celebration of day to day life that that he was a part of. Do you think that continues in

any way? I mean, because the Republican Party brand before him was much more you know, old stodgy, white males who play golf and you know I were working corporate jobs, right, that's the stereotype or or you know, there's another one for different parts of the country. But you know what I'm saying. I mean there's kind of this. You look at the leadership. You know, Bush and Cheney and McCain and Romney. These are not guys that inspire memes in a positive way. Do you think that that continues now

with Trump, even though he's not in office. I really do think that it contains with a Maga movement because you have to look at the types of people that were brought into this people like me and I make no bones about the fact that I've obviously risen to prominence in the past a couple of years due to large part of my support for President Trump and sort of being embraced by the MAGA movement, which I will never turn my backbone because I know what it stands for.

It I believe in what it stands for. And I think that a lot of the people that have come to prominence that are part of this movement, that are that are creators, people that are that are entertaining, people that can do different things like I can you know, be here and speak to you about politics, that I can go do a TikTok challenge. And and what Trump did was he brought this energy and it's almost kind of like an entertainment culture esque energy into the party.

And I think that the challenge for the party right now. And this is what the Democrat Party is amazing at it personally because they have the backing of the entire you know, Hollywood, media, music, and entertainment industry. But it behooves us as Republicans to say, Okay, you've got you know, the old school mainstream you know Republicans, the Romneys and all those But then You've got those of us that are out here actually creating our own culture on social media,

on the internet. Sometimes you know people like me that pop back and forth between television. But you have to bring these things together and make them a unified movement. And I think that there is no candidate for president that's a Republican of the future. There is no candidate for Congress in the future that does not go through the MAGA base. So I think that it's very important to continue engaging that base. How worried are you rob about the wave of not just I think it even

will go beyond cancelation. I think we're going to see a public private partnership of idea suppression. Right, So it's it's one thing, you know, cancelation is what happens to you for the wrong ideas. They're going to now go even further up the the source if you will there, They're gonna go further up the chain and prevent people from even being able to share these ideas. Oh and if you try, you will be canceled. What do you see happening and how how do people like you and

me and others listening to this prepare for that. I think that honestly, in my opinion, it's going to get worse before it gets better. And one critique that I do have of the administration is that there is ample opportunity to really do something about this m and it never happened. So that is that is a really big failing on the part of the the outgoing administration. But I do think that it's going to get worse. How

do we prepare for it? I mean, I personally always wanted to make sure that I'm out there in different places than Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Who knows how long those platforms will still be available to me. And I think that for the people who fear this cancel culture mob, who fear more suppression of ideas, what we have to do is we have to start leaning on the people that we've elected, the people that we will continue to put an office in the future, is to do something

about this. Don't just talk about it, don't just tweet about it, actually do something about it. And we have to start calling out the people in power that are, you know, being lobbied by Facebook, by Twitter, by Instagram, by all of these different places in order to kind of keep the status quo. So I don't think that a Republican is going to get elected congressman or even president of the future if they don't have a really strong stance against this kind of censorship and an idea

about what to do about it. But I have to say, and I say this a lot on the rocks about this problematic podcast as well, is that it's going to have to take same voices on the left too, even some rules realize that this kind of suppression and this kind of clamping down on free speech is not good, because some of them realize that the pendulum can very

easily shift in their way as well. So I think that it's going to take a lot of thinking people who really are advocates for free speech on the right and the left to come together and to fix this Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, These things are too big and they need to be broken up. Now we don't have control not only of

the presidency, either of the House or the Senate. What do you think of calls to try to organize at the state and local level where possible, to try to create I guess you could say bulwarks of liberty against the encroachment of the federal government. Where where possible? Where where that's a lawful option, or also just to begin to create. You know, we're starting to see outflow from blue areas, New York being one of them, down to Florida.

You're seeing people leave California. A lot of them are conservatives. And maybe this this great blue red sorting that is going on right now, of which I may become apart at some point myself, to be honest with you in the pretty near future, that this also raises opportunities. You know, it really does. And I really agree with the fact that people have to start, you know, operating on the local level as well. I'm a I'm a defector. I left New York and I came down here to Florida.

I'm in Florida, absolutely amazing. But what we really have to do is we have to make sure so when people are fleeing these blue states and coming to red states, that we are keeping these states read. And I think, in absence of any kind of majority in the House, but I do think we'll get it back in twenty twenty two. But I really do think that we have to start thinking in terms of that. And I like this word that you use, this sort of like bulwark

against what's being closman of the federal government. Because me living in Florida, with the great Governor Ron de Santis in Florida, I feel a part of the reason why I'm not as betalistic as some other people is because I live in Florida and it is a great place to live, and I'm going to work to keep it

a great place to live. Right there are still the genius of the founders is that we have a constitution that we know Democrats will try to shred at many opportunities, but we still have it, and we have states and state responsibilities. So there are there are options here to try to pursue a more shall we say, capitalist and liberty based future for for individuals and for families out there who listening to this while staying in the United States.

I'm not advocating. I'm not some cry baby labels gonna say we should all move to New Zealand or Canada or whatever. No, there are ways to stay here in this country. There is the fight, the political fight that's worth that's worth having. And I just wanted to want to know if you have some you know, what are your your words of a couragement? This is a tough day for a lot of people. Rob a lot of people listening to this are having a rough one, and

and I'm I'm also cycle. I've been psychologically preparing for it quite honestly since I'd say a couple of weeks after the election, when I felt like these legal challenges we were very remote in the probability of success for for a lot of other people, though, this this really stings. What are your you know, what's your halftime coach speech for? You know? There there are better times ahead for America. You know I mean that said there are better times

ahead for America. But look, the thing about it is is that when you love this country, you believe in this country, you gotta love it and believe in it no matter what. And if you're somebody that's out there that's feeling I'm discouraged or kind of like overwhelmed by all of this, I would say, use this fire to think about how you can get involved to change things. The great thing about this Magol move is that so

many people got involved that were not involved before. Let's think about how if you're a concer innervative and you have conservative leaning principles or Republican principles or whatever. How you can get involved in the local level, how you can do things that are a little bit different. I know me personally, I'm involved in this way. I do a lot of political commentary, but I think that we have a cultural deficit with conservatives, and I'm focusing a

little bit of my energy on doing culture stuff. So I think that we all have something to offer. Do not be defeated, Do not give up, never ever quit. Dust yourself off, lick your wounds, and think about your next steps forwards, positively impacting our great nation. Rob Smith from the First TV My man always good to see you. Better days ahead for both of us. We'll talk soon. Absolutely. Thanks Buck, you're in the freedom hunt. Thanks for listening

to The Buck Sexton Show podcast. Get the latest from Buck at buck sexton dot com. Moving to the Biden administration, let me just bring up something that we really haven't had time to talk about over the past several months. Joe Biden through all this chaos. Of course, there have been many things that have been detrimental to a smooth

start for the Biden administration. But one thing that Biden has had is cover because the media has been chasing one story after another about Donald Trump, as we have from the from the start, and Joe Biden has not gotten the close look that most president elects have gotten. We certainly remember Bill Clinton, for instance, started his administration in the rockiest of ways. This is something that Biden and his team are going to be noticing over the

past the coming weeks. They are suddenly going to feel the hot glare of those cleague lights that are being turned from Donald Trump now and going to be focusing squarely on them. I mean, this is honestly the funny is this is honestly the funniest thing Joe Scarborough said, I don't know, maybe ever, Yeah, all of a sudden, now, yeah,

Joe Biden's really gonna be on the hot seat. Media is really gonna be kicking the tires now, oh oh sure, now that they foisted this guy on the American public, Now that they suppress the Hunter Biden laptop store, I mean actively shut down a news organization, the New York Post, from being able to share true information going to a

presidential elect presidential candidates fitness for office. Now that all that has happened, they're gonna be like the really serious journals now now they're gonna say, oh, who is this Biden guy? Oh, maybe maybe we should ask them quite notting that's not gonna happen. But they're gonna say, see, this is the whole game with journalists. Oh, it's gonna be tough. We don't want to have to be so tough on Joe. But you know that's what's gonna be happening here. No, it is not. They are gonna be

giving this guy the equivalent of a Shiatsu massage. Okay, they're going to be Joe Biden is going to get the kid glove treatment like nothing else you've ever seen. We all know it. In fact, not only will they be refusing to criticize him, they will viciously attack any actual critics that emerge. You're listening to the Buck Sexton Joe podcast, make sure you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts. I

just wanted to comment. I don't know if anyone else is struck by just seeing everyone masked, just the kind of public you know, sort of performance of responsible behavior, even the Republicans are in mask is no longer that social pressure from Donald Trump to be maskless, to be sort of proudly maskless. It's pretty striking, at least for

me to see. Not wanting to wear a mask all the time, including outside, including alone, going for a hike by yourself in the woods, out on the street with no than fifty feet of you is not about Trump, Libs. I just I hope they will finally start to get this. It really isn't about Trump, certainly, not anymore. I still hate the mask mania. I still think they dramatically overstate what a mandate has done or would would do for us. I know the Biden's now got a hundred days of masking.

We're already masking. We've been masking the whole time. Didn't stop the pandemic from reaching its biggest ever second wave of cases didn't stop it. That's a fact. And we have been masking also a fact in huge numbers all across the country for months. But see, now, what are they gonna do now they have to make actual arguments about things. I mean, they're gonna try to suppress and

avoid making arguments. But when they're unable to just shut down the opposition, hopefully they won't be entirely successful with that. They have to turn around to actually deal with facts here. They have to, They have to deal with the fact that it's not all about Trump. It was never despite what they think, you know, oh, the social pressure to know. I don't like wearing a mask because it's uncomfortable and

in many cases it's useless. And because doctor Fauci told us at the beginning of this pandemic that it would just make people feel better, but it was not a necessary public health measure. And that's when we thought the fatality rate would be even higher than it is. And I've not forgotten that. Then this after the fact justification of oh I didn't want people to take up all the end ninety five. So I yeah, go and watch that interview and tell me if you think that's what Fauci.

He's a great actor, if that's what he was doing, Like we're all such idiots, Well we're all supposed to believe that. Sure, it's unreal, unreal, But you know, I had a little reminder yesterday, a little reminder lesson and it hits close to home. My father, who is seventy four is he's you know, great dad, My dad's the greatest, And he went to go get the vaccine. He took, it took, and the whole thing is, it's been such an ordeal. My whole family's been pitching in Troy. You

got to go online. This is all New York. This is you know, New York City, you know it. And health department in the whole thing. It's a mess. And they've had months and months. They've basically had a year to prepare for this, all right. It isn't like we asked them to set up some amazing vaccination programmer plan in thirty days. And I know some states are better

than others. And I think that a lot of you who live in more sane, more open states, it's hard for you to appreciate what your fellow conservatives in New York, New Jersey, California, Illinois, what we've gone through in Washington State and Oregon. I mean, the stuff that we've been put through by our elected officials and and just the day to day insanity and the pressures that we've we've been under. It's madness. It's absolute madness, and it's really

worn us down. And I know you'd say, well, you got to leave those states. We're working on it. It takes time, you know, you got you got jobs, you got family. But but no, I think the great exodus from Blue states for people that want to live a more sane existence. I think it's the momentum is unstoppable. Now you're gonna stick around for the next the next major disaster, so you can have Newsome and Cuomo and these other idiots in charge of you. I don't think so.

But my dad yesterday was in line. He had to go to in Staten Island, which is one of the five boroughs here in New York. He had to go to Staten Island because he couldn't get an appointment anywhere near where he lives. So you know, that's about I mean, it depends the New York traffic changes things dramatically. Is not that much traffic now, but it's about a forty minute forty minute hall together. They're not that bad, but it's in a car. You gotta drive thirty or forty minutes.

And so he gets there and it's almost all senior citizens, he says in the line, an enormous line at this vaccination site. He gets there forty five minutes early. It's all set up by this is all Democrats. This is Blue state in action here, friends, all right, there's no Republicans in the mix. This is the the New York City and New York State Health Apparatus has been handed vaccines and told go distribute these to people. And they've had a lot of time and a lot of ability

to prepare for this. So there's there. He's in a huge line and of course socially distanced, and they're outside. It's it's like thirty three, thirty four degrees yesterday, New York City. Well, this is so you've got senior citizens. You know, my dad's a robust, robust and handsome fellow with a great head of hair. But you know, there are some senior citizens who are out there who are

a little more frail. They gotta walk or they and they're in their eighties or their nineties, and they're out there freezing their butts off outside because you can't be inside. That's too We couldn't. We couldn't figure out a way to make this so that at least you could socially distance inside with masks on and wait for your vaccine. No, no no, no, that that can't be allowed, right, And you know, do the temperature checks? Oh, I always one else?

Do these things actually work? In any meaningful way, because whenever it comes down to it, they just sort of go back to the we can't trust it, you know. So even if you socially distance and mask and temperature check and wash your hand before you go in. Let's say, for this to a facility they'll do vaccinations, you're still at too high a risk. So you got to wait outside and freeze your butt off. So my dad gets there,

he's forty five minutes early. My mom is waiting in the car for him, and she doesn't qualify for the vaccine yet because she's she's a bit younger than she's in her sixties, so she doesn't qualify. You've got to be over sixty five. And he's waiting, and he gets there, he's right on time, and he waits before anyone even says he's in this line, just imagine standing. Here's no chairs,

there's no nothing. These are people in their seventies and their eighties and you know, some in their late sixties obviously, and they're standing in line, he says, for two hours. The line barely moves. This is getting people's shots. You have to wait. I mean, my whole family was pitching and going online trying to see where we could go.

How you get the appointment, You have to wait to do that, and then you get there, you have your appointment, time you show up, you're in the system, and you're standing outside in the freezing cold for two hours without a line even moving. And remember New York as of yesterday was officially saying Mayor Build de Blasi, who said that New York City might run out of COVID vaccine as soon as Thursday, entirely might. The supply might be

gone by Thursday. Now who knows. I haven't been able to check on this one today at the specific site if this has happened anywhere yet. But there have been instances where people have waited in line and then they're told, sorry,

we're all out of vaccine. So you're waiting in line for two hours, no one's really telling you anything, and then they make the decision that the city bureaucrats make the decision to go down and they start saying, well, who, you know, let's say that we're at now five pm Eastern time, or you know, we're around that period, and they'd say, well, who had a three o'clock appointment? And people at the back of the line who got there

very late. Some of them are saying, well, I had a three o'clock appointment, but they're behind all the people who had the four o'clock appointment, and it's already five o'clock. Guess what they do. Okay, well the three o'clocks, we're gonna move you. You're now going right now, you're you're at the front of the line. Oh so you're waiting there a line for no reason because it's not really

a line. They just don't know what they're doing. And now they're gonna take people have just arrived but are three hours or two hours late for their appointment. You can imagine how that went over with the gathered senior citizens, socially distanced, masked up in thirty degree weather. Did not go over well. And and then they came up and I remember my my mom actually was the one who gave me the call. She said, they just came out.

He's been in line for two hours, and they said it's going to be They came out and told them it was dark at this point, right the sun's already down, so it's now nighttime standing outside in the dark, basically, and this at this center in Staten Island where they're giving these uh, they're giving these vaccines out. So it's it's now getting colder. And they come out and they say to his section of the line, he says, there are hundreds and hundreds of people in line. It's gonna

be at least two more hours. Now, I gotta ask you, you know, because people are it's funny when I when I shared this, I mean, it's not funny, but it's when when I showed this on Twitter, people are saying, you should stay if it's twin twelve hours? Really? Really would would you? Would you stand in a line run by the Democrats City government of Government of New York for twelve hours to get a vaccine for a virus that has been around for over a year that other

people are already getting vaccinated for. And even if you get it, even if you're in the high risk category, your odds are ninety seven percent of being okay, not ninety nine. It's like ninety seven out of one hundred will survive, even the h even in the higher risk category. Would would you stay at twelve how about twenty four hours? You know? What about passing out? When is it too much? And It's one of these things where I also know

I know people in New York. I know people in New York who have been able to get appointments for the COVID nineteen vaccine easily, and they and they just show up at a nice com place and they get their shot. But you know, and they're in their twenties and thirties, but they're part of the teachers union. Oh okay, And do you think that those teachers that I know who have gotten shots for the vaccine ahead of people like my parents, who are at an age where they

are in the risk category. Do you think that those teachers are back in the classroom in all cases as soon as they get that vaccine, All right, you're now a classroom. No, they're still zoom teaching. That's that's on so many level important for you to know this, because we are ruled by morons. You need to remember that the people that are making these decisions are not impressive, they're not very smart, and they don't really care. There's

no real accountability. If you're standing in that line for four hours and you get to the end of it and they say, oh, sorry, you know, we actually gave your vaccine somebody else, or we're out, or oh no, we had a different name on the list. What do you think your recourse is? Nothing? Can't go to the other city vaccine place down the street, right. It's not like a restaurant. What's your recourse? You have none. It's like a little like a little taste of dealing with

the Soviet Union here in New York. And I'm sure there are similar stories like this in other places across the country, and not just in Blue states. Mind you, bureaucracy is inefficient because the people who are bureaucrats generally don't care. Not enough to be excellent, not enough to go the not enough to go the extra mile and hold themselves accountable, none of that stuff. They'll do the minimum.

Bureaucrats do. The men Bau exceptions to this. You enough to send me an email telling me about you know, your your uncle Morty, who was like the best, you know, transit worker in the history of the world, driving the bus every day. I know there are people that go the extra other people that do that in everything, but the culture of bureaucracies in general is the minimum and mediocrity. And this is why you don't want government in control. Of your life. This is why you don't want government

making decisions for you. That's one part of this. The other part is how stupid are the people making these determinations at the top level. Now, I'm not talking about the low level bureaucrats, the top level, the Cuomos, the de Blasios, the Neosoms, the Gretchen Whitmers in Michigan, the I forget the name of the governor in Oregon off the top of my head, but you know that governor's an idiot too, right, I mean, the governor's all out there.

The leadership in places like Washington State and Colorado, how dumb are they when it comes to the way this vaccine is being implemented, the speed with which this is being done. They had so much time to prepare for this, they had ample resources. They can't do it. And look at some of the decision making. Now New York is almost is uniquely awful in this sense. There is no justification for giving teachers who are in their thirties vaccines

before people who are senior citizens. Except the teachers unions demanded it, and city government bent the knee, got oh, we got to protect our teachers. Yeah, you got to protect your teachers who are senior citizens. No doubt how many of them are there, They retire so very few. You just got to protect senior citizens, period. But nope, Democrat Party is, as you know, completely owned by teachers unions in major cities across the country. So they're not

going to do anything other than make them happy. So thirty five year olds and twenty five year olds get to show up easily at a place approved by the teachers union, they get their shot, they're good to go. While last night, my father, among them, hundreds, if not maybe a thousand or two senior citizens, froze their butts off for hours and hours and hours, and some of them didn't even end up getting vaccine. That's the government

in action. That's the government that the Biden Harris team wants to put in charge of all aspects of your life. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast.

My position as governor is very simple. I represent the people of the state

of New York. That's my whole job description. I'm here to represent them and to fight for them, and they have been abused by Washington for four years and it has to stop, and it has to stop now. And all we want is what's fair. I said that there are two options, worst case scenario, fair funding and one caveat.

The caveat is if Washington doesn't provide the New York State without fair share of funding, We're going to pursue litigation because I cannot in good faith represent the people of this state and know that they are being harmed and know that they're being treated unfairly, and not do everything within my power to try to do what is right by New York. Maybe get vaccines into the arms

of senior citizens faster, you idiot. Maybe don't send people who are COVID positive, who are seniors back into nursing homes to infect others in large numbers, jackass. No, But instead we've got Cuomo here giving the usual thing. Just that all this guy focuses on is the optics and the politics. What is this going to do for him? How will this play in the media, What we'll do for him in the polls? New York has been a

cautionary tale. During COVID, topped about everything about our response, the under preparation, the overreaction, the extended lockdowns, moving goalposts. Same thing in California, same thing in a lot of states, a lot of states. They're going to fight, fight like crazy to prevent people from really seeing what happened and holding them fully accountable for all of this. Governor Cuomo is going to have his hands full because the record

that he's set forth is such an abomination. But we'll we'll have to see if I mean, democrats in this state are tast still like him. His numbers have gone up. I don't know what's wrong with these people. I don't know what delusional world they're living in. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Follow Buck on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Wear a mask, they say, but what about double mask?

How about triple masks? Why aren't all schools open? And our lockdowns are really going to end after the vaccine? Our next guest explains this and more. Carol Markowitz is with us. She wrote a piece in the New York Post you need to read, you need to hear about it now. Carol, thanks so much for joining Hi, Thanks much for having me. So let's talk about this. Where are we seeing or what is the argument that you're

worried about. Well, I'm concerned that we are heading into a place where we're going to get vaccinated, people are going to have their vaccinations, and yet people are setting us up to continue to live as we are living right now, and that to me is a big concern, especially masking and social distancing, and especially for me as it pertains to kids, because my children have barely been in school for the last year, and so I see this argument starting to get made, and I just want

to make sure that it doesn't get a foothold that we're going to just continue doing this even after we are vaccinated, because that makes no sense. I've been worried about this for many months now because I understand the mentality. You know, there is a really a combination of extreme anxiety that has infiltrated a lot of millions and millions of people in this country's minds about COVID and also this kind of virtue signaling. I'm one of the good people.

I'm one of the smart people who listens to Fauci and I'll do whatever he says, no matter how stupid and how obviously absurd it may be. And that then brings us to that you mentioned this in your piece, Here's why vaccinated people still need a mask? Was that was a title of a New York Times piece in December. Yes, so they're already starting to say, even even after you

get vaccinated, you still have to wear a mask. This this is based on a theory of this virus as somehow different from all other viruses that have a vaccine, a vaccine for them, where you don't worry about this. That's absolutely right. And the thing is in that New York Times piece, if anybody had bothered to repass the headline, which I'm much sure anybody did, they would have found out that it was a study in monkeys where they were given the vaccination, but then they were exposed to

a mask of amount of coronavirus. And so these monkeys who are vaccinated still manage to get a little bit of the virus in their nose. Well, maybe let's not expose ourselves on purpose to a massive amount of coronavirus, and then that shouldn't really be an issue. We're looking for these like outlier situations where it's almost impossible to contract it after you're vaccinated. And yes, maybe in some insane situation that might possibly happen, but it doesn't mean

we live our lives in fear. There's no such thing as no risk, and I think that's people need to understand going forward. And you're even hearing some of the things that I've raised this and I think you might have even seen some of this on social media what

I've said, and this was months ago. It's just a matter of time before they tell us we need more than one mask, and just atter of time before they tell us we need n ninety five masks, which if you go back to the beginning of this was that was the explanation Fauci gave after the fact for why he told us that's right, don't mask up to the general public in the beginning of twenty twenty when this whole thing hit and you're seeing this too, right there,

there are now double maskers out there, and everybody should end ninety five masks as as a new These are new lines of thought that are being foisted on us. Yeah, that's right, and you know why two masks, why not five? And so again, as we're reaching the conclusion of this, I think people are getting ever more crazy and I don't want to see this continue. And another thing that I say in my piece again back to kids, is there's no vaccination for kids. There's no They haven't even

started trials on children under twelve. So the idea that it's and it is being pushed that kids will be in masks next year in school while presumably the grown ups around them are vaccinated and won't be in masks, is really nuts. And I want to cut that off before it takes hold. I mean here in New York City, just so everybody knows. I know, Deblasio I think, has said a vast majority of New York City schools are open. It's actually something like sixty sixty percent. I mean, almost

half of schools are not open. And that's and that's the only elementary school. Middle schools and high schools have not been opened from November. The ones that we're even ever open to begin with. UM. It is a dire situation and needs to be taken seriously, and of course our political elected officials do not. It's it's amazing. Also, you know, I have had my family in mind. My father tried to get vaccinated out and out in Staten

Island the only place he could go. He had to wait a line for hours and hours in the freezing cold, and they said it's going to be hours more and he finally just said, I just can't. I can't do this anymore. Like you know, he's a senior citizen, the guy in his seventies, and I got I've got another family member as a cousin who works in the school system, got vaccinated a couple of weeks ago. No problem for her, zoom, you know, for for the risk of Look, I don't

blame her. She has to do it's her job. Of course, that's fine, Yes, but I mean we're talking about the people making these decisions. It's crazy. Yeah, And again I'm I'm very happy to have teachers being at the front of the line to get vaccinated. As long as we get back to work and open the schools, that's the priority here. If you get vaccinated to sit at home

for another year and zoom, I'm not into that. And well, it just shows that the power of the teachers unions have and this is now becoming more apparent to everybody that people are using influence to get preferred groups to the frontal line. Not based on you know, we're all in this together, we're all human beings of equal worth and dignity, you know, the kind of core epidemiological ethics here.

But you know, I just saw it to day. Oh yeah, I like NBA players might get vaccinated in the next few weeks according to their commission, right because because because there because if you're a ultra like you know, athletics,

super healthy twenty five year old, you really need the vaccine. Well, what's funny is that New York started with people who are pretty low risk, I mean even healthcare officiality, which you know, I'm for starting with them obviously, but a lot of them didn't want the vaccine, and a lot of them turned it down. I mean a lot of

nursing homes always didn't want it. And so when they started finally vaccinating elderly people, they had a surge of appointments, and so they finally hit the demographic that actually wants this vaccine, who needs the vaccine, And now they're seeing the results of that, people are actually you know, wanting to get it. Why have there been and we're speaking to Carol Mark, Whit's New York Post columnists be where the experts who want to go on lockdowns forever as

or piece. I highly recommend it to all who are listening. It's up the New York Post dot com. Carol. Why has this been such a the rollout of the vaccine in New York? I mean, ever, it was universally I think understood as a mess a week ago. Now they're saying it's gotten better. How could they not get this right? Well, I think they were just not focusing on what matters, which is to vaccinate at risk people. They were trying to like wrong historical injustices through the vaccine process, and

that's just not really what it's all about. If they had just done it by age, like other states did and other states who have done it successfully, that would have been the better process. But instead, we you know, had some boondozzle where you had to have the right combination of you know, historical injustice factors working against you,

and that's the process they were they were using. Um, you know, it was obvious that was going to fail because again it's the people who need the vaccine, who want the vaccine are the ones who are at risk, and they weren't the ones getting the vaccine at the beginning. You mentioned in your piece that the guy who's kind of tapped as President Joe Biden's I mean, I guess, I guess maybe doctor Fauci will be the coronavirus are

which I think is also a horrible decision. But this other guy, Andy's Slavitt, who's going to be a senior advisor to Biden's COVID response team. A few weeks ago, he wrote on Twitter, quote, we should be even more careful with kids. They should circulate less or will become vectors like mosquitos carrying a tropical disease. Of course, they can become sick themselves this way. I'm not sure what I would say about schools besides wishing Trump had built

testing up a couple of things. One, I think that's just bizarre and ignores all the science that we've seen, all the data that we've seen that shows that children are at almost zero risk. I mean, it is true that the flu, the common flu, is more dangerous to children under the age of eighteen than COVID nineteen. That is a globally established and known fact. And so that's

one problem I have with this guy is saying. But also beyond that, why aren't people likes of a slavit and the incoming by administration screaming from the rooftops to open schools. It's not because of the science. So I think we both know what's going on. Yeah, he's a hysteric. He has these intense threads on Twitter that get applauded. He's not a scientist, he's not a doctor, and he

is ever in favor of harsher, stricter, longer lockdowns. He has had ideas like shutting down public transport systems across different cities, even though obviously he lives suburbs and drives a car. He is just known for being extremely hysterical about COVID and it's a real bad sign that he's going to be heading and you know, advising on any COVID measures, because he's going to take it in the opposite direction of where we should be going with the

vaccine actually being happening across the country. I know you've spent some time down in Florida. Just can you give us a sense of, Yeah, how's it going down there as opposed to your New York City time. Well, I think, and I wrote last my column last week, Florida is doing things I think very right. They absolutely take it seriously in Florida. I think New Yorkers we've been told that it's kind of a free for all in Florida and it's just very loose. But I haven't found that

to be true at all. I definitely see mask wearing in all the situations that I think masks should be worn, but they're not wearing it, like when they're alone on the street, like I see all the time in Brooklyn. You'll see somebody walking down the street by themselves, nobody anywhere near them, masked and you know, ready for the coronavirus to jump out at them from behind a push. I didn't see that in Florida. And I just saw a sanity that is missing from the process in New York.

And it just didn't seem like masking was a religion in Florida and the way that it is in New York. And that was very nice to see. And I feel like people are gonna it's a religious belief for some Yeah, they don't want there's almost a there's some people that don't seem to want to let it go. I've even seen the beginnings, the early rumbles on the internet from people that are journalists are ever following about how, you know, we really should consider masking up for the flu season

as well. Now that really is the ethical thing. Oh you're seeing that too. Yeah. I want to scream because Carol I was telling people at the beginning of this, Hey, every year, we accept that there are flu deaths and tens of thousands of people do die from the flu, and we never thought masking is so obvious as a public health tool that we never thought that we needed

to have that mandate in this country. And they said, oh, shot off, nobody, can you know this isn't the flu, this is so much worse, and they just wouldn't deal with the argument. But now we see the arguments actually entirely ethically correct because they are making the case now, oh yeah, we're gonna have to mask up every flu season for the rest of our lives. Yeah. Absolutely, I

see that developing, and it's really scary. I think people have decided that there it's possible to live a risk free existence, and I wish people understood that is just not a reality. That is not ever going to happen. You're never going to be risk free, even if you lock yourself in a closet at home. Something can get you. So, you know, I think we need to shadow that belief for people. I totally agree, Carol, great piece. Beware who want lockdowns to go on forever. New York Post dot Com. Carol,

thanks so much. We'll talk to you soon. Thank you, Buck. Thank you. You're listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Make sure you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeart Radio act or wherever you get your podcasts. He is the c EO and founder of My Pillow. He is a sponsor of this program, and he's a friend of mine. Mike Lindel is joining us now. He's built a great American corporation. I sleep on products from his company. Mike.

I know you're you're the CEO of My Pillow and you employ a lot of people here in the US. And I've seen in the news that there are some, uh, there are some companies that are taking action against your products. What's what's going on here? I mean, is this just the left doing what it does? Yeah, it really is. They've attacked them, but they went after these these hit groups, went after these companies, and they go on social media on Twitter, and you know, they they're bots and trolls

and they put people doing emails. So now the list is bigger, and I'll tell you it's bed bathroom beyond Cole's, Kroger, fred Meyer, Colburn's, HB. Hamericks, Bluestem. I mean, these guys, these guys just you know what coward is that they're gonna what do they want to go back to the way we were. Our great president was just getting us out of this where you don't have to. You know, I've been through attack so many times. I come through it,

uh better than I ever was every time. Last summer, if you remember, I was an attack from Oleander dot com when that guy brought me this thing for this virus and Anderson Cooper. They attacked me for twenty four minutes on TV. And then the box Controls came out and attacked all these companies in and they back down. Oh these are companies I've been with for five six years. Mike. I gotta ask you before we get into a break here. Um, you know, with with the the heat that my pillows

has come under, is there anything that you want? People? I mean I always tell folks, you know, put your money, put your money where your heart in your mind is take action based upon and I mean your day to day decisions based upon who you support. And they know

that you're a sponsor on this program. But for people out there, you know, do you want to just put out a clarion call for for you and for any other companies out there that are coming that are coming under this pressure right now, Well, here's your promo code. Is your promo code buck? Indeed? It is, Well, there you go, you guys, go come write that down and they remember that. But today if you go there, it's gonna be a little different. By the first thing you're

going to see is my book. I have three million copies that I self published, and they were blocking them this summer after what happened with the my only ender dot com. So I put them up there today nine ninety seven with the promo code Buck, and you're gonna get You can get up to sixty six percent off all my products. And it's a great story of hope. It's what we need right now. And you'll be supporting over twenty five hundred employees I have now and we're

all we're all in there. You know, they've been through this before. But they know that people step up and buy our products. And by the way, we have over one hundred and ten products, not just pillows. We have over one hundred and ten products from bathrobes now to our new beds, to all kinds of stuff, so you can you can. It's uh and they people have stepped it up the last couple of days, but it's been very, very very Everybody needs to step it up now. This

is a great American company and a great founder. Mike Lindell, friend of the show, sponsor. Thank you so much, Mike. From my pillow everybody, Mike, appreciate you calling in. Thanks Buck, thank you, God bless. Mike Lindell is a great guy, great company. I really do love his products, I know, and I always do full disclosure he is a sponsor on this show. But I just I mean, it's funny. I got the snow Princess, I got her my pillows, I've got those Giza dreamsheets, and he employs so many

great Americans and it's just such a success story. And the fact that people are coming after him now because he supports President Trump, it's it's just wrong, you know. And that's why the products right now that we talk about on this show. I mean, yeah, this is this is self serving for me, but it's also serving conservatism.

It's conserving, it's serving the movement as well. Because if we can have companies where CEOs are outspoken Republicans and are and are defenders of conservative values, we're done forget about politics, We're finished, We're through. So Mike Lindell is a guy who stands up and stands strong for it. He believes he's a super nice guy to him in a really a really good individual. So it's very fun.

I wanted to bring him on air just because I know they're really going after him right now with these retailers. And that's why you know my pillow dot com promo code buck, I mean, please go do it, Please go use it right now, because that company I don't Mike. The last thing I know Mike Lindell wants to do is have to lay off people because of declining sales.

Not because his product is an amazing everyone loves his product, that's why it's such a successful company, but because the left is targeting him and his people all at once because he supports the Republican Party and President Trump. We can't we can't allow that, all right, So this, you know,

people say, what can you do? I'm telling you right now, this is an opportunity mipila dot com promo code Buck and yes, that's right capitalism, this is this is serving me the show, it's serving the freedom Buck, Mike Lindell, his people, and America. Because if we can't have companies that are allowed to have CEOs who are Republican founders, who are Trump supporters, well what's the point of anything we're doing right then, everything that they control, everything, unless

unless we stand and fight on this issue. So I think it's really important. I wanted to hear from Mike and you know, we're we're going to band together. We conservatives need to take care of each other, watch each other's backs in the storm we're heading into we're in right now in this new administration, we need to take care of each other. Take action, take a step now. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Follow Buck on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Set no party like a team Buck party,

as a team Bug party. Don't stop. It's time for roll call. This is like the kind of these are the kind of funky tunes. When I used to go to off campus college housing when I was like on undergrad, not that I was ever a grad student, but you know, you go somewhere and yeah, man, there's like a live band playing, and there were some there were some. There were some odors in the air. Not quite cigarette smoke, but people were smoking other things back in those college days.

Not me though, not me, Actually I wasn't. I was trying to get into the CIA, so I knew I couldn't do any illegal drugs. But yeah, yeah, see I did just say no to drugs. So there you have it. Although you know the producer mark there. I think they're legalizing pot in New York now, well yeah, I believe

Cuoma wants to do that. And sports scambling, yeah, I think the sports gambling thing, I don't see how there's any um, I don't understand the argument against if you're gonna allow gambling in some places and Fords again, at some point it's like, well what are we doing here? You know? So, I mean people are gonna gamble. They're gonna gamble, so it's I've probably better to regulate it allowed. I mean, some people say the stock market's gambling in

a sense, and it is actually, So there's that. Do you ever do any sports gambling producer where it is legal in my state of New Jersey? And I've dabbled, and it is quite easy to do on your phone. I had never done it before phone. Yeah, I've been to the I shouldn't say i've been to I've seen. I actually have never been inside some of those OTV places. They can be a little bit depressing. Yeah, I think that's a little too far from me. But you don't

talking about off track betting those things. You know, you got a bet on the ponies, you know, the whole thing. Yeah, I think that I don't like horse racing that much. Nothing against it. I'm just just bores me. I actually feel like you'd be fun. I've always want to see

the greyhounds racing. I live next to a rescue greyhound who was so you know, it's if everyone knows I like dogs of the one of the things I love most in life, and and the greyhound lives right next door to me, and he was one of those ones that actually chase, you know, chase the bunny or whatever it is, uh, you know, at the track. Yep, I'm talking about like an actual racing greyhound. I think that's outlawed, now,

is it really? I'm not one hundred percent sure, but I'm pretty sure less and less of it is allowed, if at all, Well, it's not it's not a live bunny or you just bean greyhound racing in general. Yes, I think dog racing is pretty much gone, and I couldn't be wrong, but I thought that it was outlawed. Oh okay, yeah, because I know that they don't use a real bunny. That would be messed up. It's like a little you know, it's like train the bunny to

run like that, like electronic. Yeah, I actually get really, I really hate I'm somebody who I've just look I know, I'm I'm inconsistent on this one. Basically any furry animal, I dear. I'm okay with people shooting and eating and you know, I've I've been a part of that myself in the past. So fine, you know, hunting deer, I'm fine with it. Um, you know, I mean birds whenever they're birds, fish, you know, eat them, chop them up. That's all fine, that's all, you know. Part It's a

circle of life, folks, It's circle of life. I really, I really think foxes are cute and I get very sad at the notion of a fox on I gotta tell you, it really is not something that I like. So do people eat foxes. No, they don't eat them, but they used to. Fox hunting used to be a big thing, and they would chase them with dogs. They would have a pack of dogs that would people would ride horses. You know. It's sort of a it's kind of like an English gentleman thing to do back in

the day, and it made its way to this country too. Um. But yeah, I think it's been outlawed for some time now in the States, but people will occasionally. I don't know, if you're is it you know, that's a very good question. Is it legal to hunt foxes in America? I have no I have no idea actually right now. Um, so, yeah, that's that's something I gotta find out. No, it's not legal. It says maybe you can shoot them. I don't know.

I don't know. It's interesting. It depends on where you are. Anyway, I let my whole point he was just I like foxes, so I think they're cool. I actually follow a TikTok account because I've just embraced this Chinese spying app I'm not telling you to do it, but I already have no privacy and I've you know, I've got I got teams of people that are in all my social media and stuff already, and you know, so it's I, you know what am I hiding from a Chinese at this point?

Then again, you can follow buck sex then on TikTok, but there's a there's a it actually might be an Instagram account. I think it's both. And somebody has a pet. It's called Juniper Fox. They have a pet fox like a dog. It's adorable, sounds dangerous. They're kind of small, and I'm sure it probably gives you a little nibbles sometimes got some sharp teeth, but not not really that

not really that scary. The thing that I never understand is people who want to have not just a pet snake like that's your own whatever, that's not my thing at all, but a danger you're like a venomous pet snake. That's where I'm just like, what is wrong with people? I don't understand that, because you know what ends up happening, right, Producer Mark. They always make these videos on like the Animal Channel and stuff about it's always like, oh, like

i live. I live in like outside of London, and I had this like spitting cobra and oh then one day I just like forgot when I was cleaning his cage, and now I had a spitting cobra like all over my apartment. I didn't know where in my flat. You know. It's like, yeah, dude, don't have a spitting cobra as a pet. Probably a bad idea. It sounds like you're just playing the long game on suicide. If you get a pet snake that's minimous. Yeah, it's it's definitely definitely

a risky, risky maneuver. All right, I'm sorry I got distracted from roll clocks. I started thinking about pets, maybe because little miss Tulu was walking around for a second to Lula. Tolula's a dog, by the way, Just so some people, some people ask me, is t Lula your girlfriend? Like no, I do talk about her a lot, but she's not my girlfriend. Well, I mean my girlfriend is my girlfriend is a human in person? Yeah, but there is also the little French bulldog who sleeps for about

seventy percent of the day. I'd say she's an old lady now, so she sleeps a lot all right. Pablo, first up in roll call, Hey, Buck, I listen to you daily. I listen because you do speak the truth a lot like Tucker. I'm curious why the National Guard is being used in DC for the Biden inauguration, But when President Trump won there was Antifa with pepper spray chains of people preventing people for entering the National Mall. After the inauguration, there were riots in the streets with

cars burning. I guess what I'm saying is the left has no good faith toward conservatives. This is what is dividing the country, not conservative belief shields high. Yeah, Papa. First of all, Pablo, thank you for listening. I appreciate that you appreciate truth because I think in conservative media, for four years of the Trump era, truth was not a not a winning or I should say not the most winning proposition for audience influence and growing your brand.

A lot of people was just brow inside of maga as deep as possible. And by the way, I like MAGA with Trump supporters. You all know I'm not I'm not reputing in any of that or backing away from it, but I would say things like nepotism is bad now and I've been saying that for years. Guys. I couldn't go along with this whole, whole Javanka thing, Jared, Ivanka

and the White House. You know, I was never I never thought this was a good idea, and I knew Jared and Ivanka before all these other people did pretty much before they went to the White House. I just

couldn't support it, and I was right. And I think now that Trump's no longer president, people might say, wow, Buck was right about that, Like we should have said, hey, you know, people, people around the president with influence should have been willing to say, you can't hire your kids and make them the most powerful officials in the United States government after you. But that's what happened, and a lot of the very bad decision making was a result

of that. So this wasn't a minor thing. So people say, oh, Buck, when did you speak the truth? Things like that? Okay things and no, I got heat. My inbox was full of people, Buck, Oh oh, he could only trust, he could only trust his family members, really could have trusted me, didn't didn't want to bring me in. Would have if you if you needed somebody with them the fortitude down below,

if you know what I mean. To speak the truth to the Trumpster, I would have been able to do it, but didn't want to bring me in, didn't didn't bring me into the mix. And about I didn't ask. I'm not saying that, but you know, there were people who he could have picked. I'm just using myself as an example. There people he could have picked to be around him,

to advise him. But a lot of yes men, a lot of people that were just whatever the Trumpster wants, the Trumpster gets and that worked on a lot of things, but on some very important things it did not. It did not. So the truth is, it is a is a central uh. It is the focal point of this show. The truth is I see it always, and you know, I'll take the heat. I'll take the hits with that too. I took a lot of hits after the I took a lot of heat from people saying that I wasn't

strong enough on the election fraud issue. And I said, oh, look, give me, show me the evidence, just prove this to me. I'm all about finding out that this was, that there was this big fraud, but it didn't materialize. You know, if someone tells if there's a news story. If a government official comes forward and says, hey, you know, I've got a videotape that's showing you know, Democrats breaking into the RNC the night before the election, and they're all

saying this, I'm gonna say, okay, well that's terrible. Let let's see that video. If they say, well, hold on, hold on, we're getting everything lined up and its okay, we'll show me that video at some point. If they don't produce it, I gotta stop saying, okay, I believe it, or have at least got to stop saying I expect there to be government action on this or as a result of this. Frank writes, and I want to thank you. Some time ago you commented and emphasized on how peanut

butter has a lot of calories. It's true, Frank, a lot account. I never forgot that. Well, I love peanut butter. It has always been a major part of my diet morning, noon, and night. I love snacking on it with crackers around nine pm. Well, you're comment stuck with me. In last September, I finally decided to do something about it. I almost completely stopped eating it. I bike regularly and could not for the life of me lose extra weight, so I

figured a change was necessary. Well, the weight came off little by little, but it has now been twenty pounds. I weighed the same I did twenty five years ago. The weight is still coming off slowly. My diet has barely changed except for peanut butter. Well, Frank, look at this producer Mark, another satisfied Team Buck customer, Well, we're gonna have to start a fitness podcast and me. You know. Yeah, by the way, Frank, I totally, I totally hear you. I'm first of all, I'm so proud of you and

so happy for you, and that's awesome. I'm actually trying to trim down these days. I've got a one of these like sort of frozen meal delivery services that they've set up in New York work that I'm trying to eat really only that because I love cooking. Don't get me wrong, but when I cook for myself, it's like the I'm the chef who's nibbling as he's cooking, and I always making enough for four people, even if it's

only for two. And then I get a little a little late night snack, and you know, and then if you're cooking. You gotta make dessert, right, Producer Mark. I mean we're not savages of court to make dessert. Yeah, So I was. I was putting away way too many perfectly seared seasoned ribis on my own. And you do enough of that, you know. I was on the like red meat three days a week, die at four days a week. And I don't mean just like a burger. I mean like I was going after steaks and things.

So I've had to cut it download because I'm I'm I got Look, I put on about fifteen pounds during COVID and over the course of the year. It doesn't really show up that much on camera, but I see it, and you know it's. Uh. I gotta get back because the snow Princess is super fit. Snow Princess Producer Mark has like ab you know, the whole thing. So you know abs that you can see. I don't have that. So I got to get back to the back to the door. So I've been working on a little bit.

But peanut butter. It's one of those things where you know it shouldn't beat you don't think it's if you have a big scoop of peanut butter, you just eat a big scoop of peanut butter. You've put away easily two hundred fifty three hundred calories easily. And yeah, man, it's really by the way, it's another thing. If you don't have time for a meal. I actually like almond butter, which I know. Is that a little bougie producer Mark? Or is that mainstream? Now? No, that's fine, Now, that's

that's fine out right. Yeah, I mean cash you butter is bougie, but I like almond butter um and and if I don't have time for a meal, I'll just go bhoop, go right into a thing of almond butter and have a You have a big scoop with that. You will not be hungry because you will have eaten about three hundred calories in ten seconds. So I'm glad it worked for you. This Let a good look at this producer, Mark. We don't even you know we're we're helping people with health. We're not even a health we're

not even a health show. That's how we do things here. We service everybody's needs here. That's what we do. That's correct. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast.

As I sit in a talk next to other National Guards been, I have to take issue with

Brandon Webb's comments. While yes, there are quite a few nineteen year old kids among us, there are plenty of soldiers here who have multiple combat deployments under their belts. They are disciplined and just as qualified as their active duty brethren. Love the show and keep up the great workshields high, Alan, I'll pass this one along on to Brandon. I think you are correct in this one here. Brandon, as you all know, is a good friend of mine. But I know on that one, I think, I mean,

I know what you're telling me. It's true. So maybe Brandon, I'll pass this along to Brandon. Let him respond for himself. It's a point. But look, he's a seal, and you know he's or a former seal, and so he's got a little that former seal vibe, you know. But yes, I know they're National guardsman who won have sort of really as real deal as it gets, combat deployments and they're still in the National Guard, and that is a fact.

And I know that I've been out. I've been out in the field when there's National Guard out there, so I know what you're saying. My friend, thank you Alan for your service. Please thank all the National Guard's been with you for their service and tell them it's from me. Brian hey Buck, I've noticed something new that Facebook has been doing in order to push the left wing agenda. I'm curious, you know if anyone else has noticed the same.

Scrolling through my news feed, I keep seeing posts from left wing groups and individuals that I don't follow, from congressmen to special interests. Turns out the reason I'm seeing them is because I have a friend who comments on them, so it assumes I might have similar interests. Here's the kicker. I don't really know the guy and the only Facebook interaction I've had with them is sharing a video of a dog back in November see producer Mark dog Videos.

It's the one thing that still brings humanity together always yeah still, Facebook claims I've commented and liked more posts from him than other people. Just this morning, I've seen a pro union page and a group pushing fifteen dollars minimum wage. Random right wing interest groups don't show up in my feet at all. Looks like they're trying to hit us with full media staturation. Have you noticed this

shields high, Brian, Yes, I have noticed this. You'll also notice there are a whole lot of out of nowhere left wing podcast that are popping up pretty high in the iTunes listing of news shows. The no one, you know, the iTunes algorithm is not something that's public and we're not really allowed to know. But I do find that

curious at least. Look, their algorithm is whatever they want it to be, right, the iTunes algorithm, you know, we assume it's is it the most shows, total downloaded, the longest listen with the most you know, There's a lot of things that could go into this. It's not just how many people are subscribe, it's how many people open, how long do they listen? Are they listening, you know, to multiple multiple times to the same show, and has that counted? So there's a lot of ways to the

system could be skewed to begin with. But yeah, no, you're gonna get a lot of left wing media saturation now from all over the place. That's for sure. That's for real. So what you're picking up on is not imaginary. My friend, Brian, I wish I could tell you that we could change it, but fok. Facebook is calling the shots on Facebook and that means libs And Heybrocker producer, Mark, who would you say would be the GOP's next in line to carry the Republican Party to twenty twenty four election?

Love your show, Shield Say, and we love you. Thank you so much for writing in. And you ask me who should be the candidate for the Republican president right now for twenty twenty four. If you're asking me right now, Ron de Santisa, Florida, that's that's who I think it should be right now based on everything we're seeing. That obviously could change, but that's my answer for you. And thanks so much for writing in. Team. Great to be with you. Tomorrow will be a better day, Shield Ti
