What's Next For MAGA?

which are lousy. One choice is vote against the objection, and tens of millions of Americans will see a vote against the objection as a statement that voter fraud doesn't matter, isn't real, and shouldn't be taken seriously, and a great many of us don't believe that. On the other hand, most if not all, of us believe we should not set aside the results of an election just because our

candidate may not have prevailed. And so I endeavored to look for door number three, a third option, And for that I look to history, to the precedent of the eighteen seventy six election the Hayes tiled, an election where this Congress appointed an electoral commission to examine claims of voter fraud, five House members, five senators, five Supreme Court justices,

examine the evidence and rendered a judgment. And what I would urge of this body is that we do the same, that we appoint an electoral commission to conduct a ten day emergency audit, consider the evidence, and resolve the claims. For those on the Democratic aisle who says say there is no evidence they've been rejected, then you should rest in comfort. If that's the case, an electoral commission would reject those claims. But for those who respect the voters,

simply telling the voters go jump in a lake. The fact that you have deep concerns is of no moment to us that jeopardizes I believe the legitimacy of this and subsequent elections. We can handle the truth, and ultimately, the truth is what this is all about. Getting to it, finding out what is real, what is not, what actually happened in this election. It is essential our entire system rests on the premise that we believe there is a good faith and there is a fairness in the operating

procedures of this Republic. Senator Ted Cruz there speaking well to that point, and yet do we feel any better about it today than we did yesterday? No, of course, we feel most likely considerably worse. Why is that? Let's first start with why people were marching in DC yesterday. Let's start on that issue, because it's many things. The media and the focus is on those who believe that this was a stolen election, and that is certainly a big part, perhaps a majority, of all of the concern

and anger out there on the streets. But what else was motivating this? Why do people feel the need to take time out of their lives in a very difficult year, with a lot of stresses around us because of COVID and everything else. Why would hundreds of thousands of people

gather together in DC to make their voices heard. We have been drifting as a nation toward a culture politically, socially where there is no middle ground allowed, there's no dissent allowed, the rights of political minorities are increasingly trampled on.

And there is an incredibly powerful system, one that even goes beyond what you've seen and some of the other authoritarian regimes of history, in that it is entirely capable of leveraging information technology, the global marketplace, wealth on a scale that human beings have never seen, to brainwash, to control, to determine, and it feels like a rigged game, right.

It feels as though what we do does not really change very much, and it feels as though we're not allowed to even raise that up anymore and talk about it publicly for fear of being ostracized by these social media companies that I know that we have to get used to this idea. Social media is not something that kids use now just to say hi to each other and communicate. Social media is a dominant force in the flow of information in this country and around the world.

Is more powerful than the traditional media because it determines what traditional media you get to see. Wokeness this is another way of describing political orthodoxy of the left, and wokeness is ever evolving because ultimately its true goal is not changing society so that everybody is equal. It's true goal is just power, and then it will figure out what it decides to do with it, because it doesn't

even know what it wants. Why does it feel like there's an inherent schizophrenia in the Democrat left's woke ideology because there is there are multiple personalities at war with each other inside of the Democrat mind on this issue. Because you can never be sure that you're woken up, it has to constantly evolve and seek out new targets. It's effectively a colonial project for the mind right. It

is dominating your consciousness. That's what it seeks to do, and that it can entirely control you and then figure out how to create an entirely equal society. And what would that even look like. As we know, societies that put the greatest emphasis on achieving absolute equality achieve the exact opposite, and history speaks very clearly on that. So

people are upset because of all of these things. And then also we have suffered through the single worst year in terms of our individual freedoms, in terms of government overreach of my lifetime. But they use this idea that the government can protect you from COVID to justify all of it. They use the notion that if you only listen, you'll be saving lives, you'll be protecting people, and if you're not willing to listen, if you want to dissent,

you are putting people at risk. This was a recipe for absolute control, and they've edged closer and closer to that this year than I thought would be possible, honestly in my lifetime. And for what are we safer from COVID with Think of all the government mandates and shutdowns and everything they've done. Does anyone look at what's happening right now in the country with hospitalizations and cases and think anything other than the virus is gonna virus, It spreads.

You do your best to stay healthy and stay away from it, but the government cannot protect you. Am I missing something? All? Right? Where where's the example of great government success in this You had Operation Warp Speed, which is a success, but the distribution of this vaccine is

already a cluster. And then you look at all the lockdown, at the masking, all these policies they've instituted, And for what does it feel like the journalists who are supposed to be speaking truth to power, these media companies that have gotten in many cases, especially the social media companies, wealthier more influential during lockdown because we are now replacing human contact and living life with screens. We all live

our life now. If you're working remotely, unless you're an essential and you have to actually go into your job, we're living our life just in front of these screens. We're being bombarded with information that's destructive, often, that's false, that's vicious, and that has an agenda, and that's really almost all the time, and we're replacing those basic bonds of human contact that remind us all that we are in this together and we are all on borrowed time.

And when we're talking about Americans, our fellow Americans were losing sight of the fact that we live in the greatest country in the history of the planet. That's an amazing statement, isn't it. And I'm sorry if it sounds a little hokey today. I'm sorry if it's a little bit corny to some of you. But we right now are living in the greatest country, in the greatest, wealthiest, happiest time in human history, and we are lucky to be here, and we need to preserve it. Yes, we

need to fight for it. We need to understand what's so great about it. But what I see out there right now is this ideological cancer of destroy. Destroy the dissenters, Destroy those who believe in liberty, in limitations on government, Destroy those who think the Constitution is supposed to prevent all the great plans that the experts are conjuring up for us. Isn't this year of the lockdown? Isn't twenty twenty. I know we're in twenty twenty one now, but I'm

thinking about the last twelve months. Isn't it a repudiation of the elites and of government control? It doesn't feel like they think that. That's for sure. We were very aware of that. But anybody who's being honest about it would say, we need a return to first principles here in this country. We need an understanding of what it is that we are seeking to create in our society every day, and for us to get there, we need to have a combin We need to have a combination

of things all come together at once. We need a relentless,

unapologetic search for the truth. We need the courage and bravery to stand for our principles, and we have to remember that at the end of the day, what we're all trying to do, all of us who are approaching this in good faith, with love and reverence for the history of this country, for this amazing nation, is to make this a better place for all of us, even the wackos, even the people of Antifa, I want a better America that they are fortunate to live in because

our ideas prevail. And I know that can be a hard thing. You want to think about about destroying your enemy. Sometimes you want to think about defeating the other side. And we want to win at the ballot box. We want to win on the battlefield of ideas. But isn't it this beautiful thing about this country that victory achieved the right way means that it's a better country for all of us, even the leftists, even the losers, even the crazies. It's a better America that's more secure, more

rule of law, more prosperity, more individual liberty. That is what That's why I show up every day. That's why we do this thing that we're doing here on this show. So I think a return to those first principles for all of us at this moment when I know so many feel dejected, feel like they have been cast aside, and feel like we had a momentum. We had a moment and it lasted for three years. The COVID year was something else. The COVID year, through the whole project

of making America great again into this different cycle. We were just all locked down and trying to stay alive, trying to do what we can to help our neighbors and prevent the government from shutting down more businesses and more churches than they already were. There's a lot of anger out there and that's not going to go away. But we have to explore together, honestly, what is working for us, what can we do, and what does the

future look like. The reasons for the march yesterday in DC were patriotic and decent, and I support them and I'm with them, and we have to also know that we maintain principles even in the face of the most vicious, underhanded, cheating, maniacal opposition. We cannot become that which we seek to defeat, and I don't think we're even close to it. And we're going to talk about the double standards and all this. We're going to discuss all that out on the show.

But let's all just take this moment to remember why it is that we do what we do and what makes us who we are as patriots, conservatives, Americans. What is it that is so special about all or else? Why not just go live in New Zealand, Why not just move to some other place? Right, No, we understand that there's something special about this and we continue to fight for it and we'll do everything we can to preserve it, win or lose, my friends, that is our mentality.

We are warriors for the cause of our ideological battles, knowing that there is no guaranteed result, but that the fight is worth having anyway you're in. This is the Buck Sex and Show podcast, and we will always be grateful to the men and women who stayed at their posts to defend this historic place. To those who wreaked havoc in our capitol today, you did not win. Violence never wins. Freedom wins. And this is still the People's House. And as we reconvene in this chamber, the world will

again witness the resilience and strength of our democracy. For even in the wake of unprecedented violence and vandalism at this Capitol, the elected representatives of the people of the United States have assembled again on the very same day to support and defend the Constitution of the United States. Let me ask you, do you think that Vice President Pence a good man? Do you think that he loves

this country? Do you think that he knows as well as really anyone with perhaps the exception of the president himself. How much is at stake here and how much could have been done for the good of the country had this election outcome been different. I think we have to approach some of these some of these questions in a

systematic way so we can all ground ourselves here. At a moment of particular disappointment and all this frenzy of you know, people that are now pointing fingers at each other and everything else, what's really happened here, my friends, as we've come to a recognition, and it's one that I've been trying to to edge us toward here. And I appreciate so much that all of you know that what I'm telling you, I think this thing is going to happen. It's not what we're talking about, the Biden

Harris presidency, which is happening. When I say that, it's not to antagonize. It's not because I like taking some kind of a sour position or anything else. It's because we need to get ready for what's coming. Psychologically and emotionally. We need to be prepared for this because it's happening, and I've been saying it for weeks, and there are a lot of people out there, and I don't like

to do this. Oh, you know, the other hosts and so, but there are a lot of people that are playing this game, and they're pretending that there was some last minute secret that was going to save us from this. I'm sorry. I look at you, my fellow Americans, my friendly Patriots team Buck. I see all of you across the country, and I feel like I'm here with you

waiting for this onslaught. I'm not going to promise you that the cavalry is going to come over the hill and we're not even gonna have to take any losses metaphorically speaking, I'm not going to make that promise because I don't believe it, because it's not true. Vice President Pence, i think you would agree with me, is a good man who has been very loyal to this president, very loyal to the Manga agenda, and he is doing his best for America under the circumstances, and he has been

put in a very difficult position. The people who are turning on Vice President Pence right now, I think are forgetting that the actions up to this point of individuals should have already shown us what you know, the totality of the actions of people like Mike Pence should show

us that we've done what we can. It is possible and if I can it's almost painful to say this out loud, it is possible, friends, that we gave it everything we had and we are fighting with everything we've got, through all the mechanisms at our disposal, and we still lost. And whether it's lost through cheating or lost through through legitimate victory, even with some degree of cheating, which is assured of course, So please, don't you don't need to

tell me Buck you don't think there was. Of course there was cheating. I don't know how much cheating. I suspect it was substantial, but if you can't prove it, it doesn't matter. We are dealing with that sense of loss now, but with that loss also comes a recognition that we do have so much left to fight for and so much more ahead of us. And also see the way the other side is seizing upon this moment and understand that we're in for a whole new level

of fight. My friends. Thanks for listening to the show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple Podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. Fronto Reagan once said, peace is not the absence of conflict, It is the ability to handle conflict by peaceful means. The peaceful people in my state in Oklahoma want their questions answered, but they don't want this what happened today. They want to do the right thing, and they also want to do it

the right way. They went onto their constitutional process, but they also want to have debate about election security because they want to make sure it's right, which is why it's an important issue that still needs to be resolved. Transparency and government just doesn't seem like a bad idea. Obviously, the commission that we have asked for is not going

to happen at this point. And understand that. And we're headed towards tonight, towards the certification of Joe Biden to be the President of the United States, and we will work together in this body to be able to set a peaceful example the days ahead. I was goopace Senator James Langford, who was addressing the Congress last night on the floor of the Senate. What he was saying, There's not going to be some commission, and this is it. This election's done. That's where we are, and and I

understand that that's so disappointed to hear. And for those who are, and look, I you you are always I always welcome a criticism from from people that I consider to be my side, my own team, when it's in good faith. Right. So when people write in with all caps, lots of curse words and say terrible things about me, I'm like, well, what what is that accomplishing? Right? But anybody who has a valid or I shouldn't even say valid,

has a good faith criticism, I welcome it. And sometimes sometimes people write into this show and I read and the first thing I think when I read their comments about something that I've said or about a direction we've gone editorially, is they're right. That does happen? That does I want to admit that to you. I know that there's a whole a kind of radio industry built around people who are never never wrong. Right. I don't do that,

So that does happen. So I don't think that I read these things and don't realize that's a completely valid point, or even more than that, that they're they're right and I'm wrong. So for those who are telling me and I think we have to have this this is like

a family discussion. Now that's how I view this. I sit here talking to all of you as I would if there had been some incident, you know, my cousins or something, and we're all sitting down at the table to have a discussion about what's gone on so we can move forward in the most positive fashion. Because not only am I on your team, I want to be a leader on your team. I want to be somebody you can always count on that you know is there for you. You could trust me. I tell you the truth.

I stand on the principles we share, and I even will show some courage in public about difficult issues. But sometimes courage means telling people things that aren't necessarily going to appeal to them. And I think one of the one of the challenges that we've had in the Trump era on the right is that there has been very

little space for that. There's really been, and I'll just say it, there's really been almost no market for trying to criticize the Trump agenda from or rather from a Trump administration, not the agenda, the Trump administration from a perspective of how can we be more effective in achieving goals that this presidency set out for how can we

do a better job of getting these things. We created a bit of a bit of a silo where all all of the public commentary went into this one place and it was Trump is awesome and he's doing all these amazing things. And we were allowed to say Trump is awesome, comma, but I wish he would or Trump is doing a great job on this. But you sit here and you say, well, one place and for those you were wondering, what have you said about this buck

that would be an example of this. Trump's picks for his advisors and for some of his White House personnel was was abominable. I mean, it was truly awful, and there was a lot of a lot of well he can't trust anybody, or well, you know he meets family members around him, or all all these things. You know, at some point you can kind of justify anything in this realm. Is it serving the president to do that? Is it serving the agenda? Is it serving all of us?

Or the president being in the office. I know he was entertaining and has tweets were amazing, but ultimately he was trying to achieve things for you and for me. Some of them he did but some of them he didn't. Does anybody want to argue now that we have a big, beautiful wall from sea to c to shining Sea, we

do not. And I know that there are all these reasons and there, but we would have been more effective in getting some of these things done if there had been more room to be able to say, I'm on the team, but you know this needs to be done differently. I'm sure many of you have played team sports, so many of you have. You know, you've been on a football team or or a basketball or lacrosse or whatever, and you know you'll come together in the huddle. Is it?

Is it a good thing to say, guys were down by we're down by a lot at how time, but you know what, we're amazing. Let's do everything exactly the same way we're doing I was gonna say that there was a lot of that within the GOP. And you know that you know I'm telling you the truth. Every single one of you knows that I'm telling you the truth right now. There was a lot of that. It was well, hold on a second, maybe maybe we need a greater focus on this, or you know, hold on.

Maybe the the outreach to Kim jong un isn't isn't a worthwhile expenditure of presidential time and resources. And you know, and I'm not even saying that that was true or none. I'm just pointing out if you said that, you were shouted down, if you if you said that, people thought that you were no longer on the team. And you know, the Democrats legally out maneuvered. I want to see legally.

I don't mean that what they did was necessarily legal, but they understood that changing these processes for mail and balloting in these states, they knew that that was going to give them an enormous advantage going into the election, and there needed to be legal challenges brought and put the mechanisms in place for accountability and integrity before the election. The RNC and yes, the Trump campaign were asleep at the wheel on this. Again. I know it's not comforting.

I am telling you the truth. I know it's not exciting, and you know it doesn't make us all feel warm and fuzzy. This is what happened. And I think yesterday in a lot of ways, I don't mean the incident even a Capitol Hill. I just mean the whole the takeaway from the day with the certification, everything else, and all the people gather into DC was we now have to stare truth right in the face and handle it. We're there, friends, were there. The Democrats won these two

Senate seats. Democrats are going to be the next president and vice president, the presidency for the next four years. The Democrats have control of the House. Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer are going to be the two most powerful elected legislative officials in the country. That's where we are, and now we can get a little bit into the tactics here the decision making. Let's all understand this marching and DC. I was so pleased that people were overwhelmingly marching,

and this whole thing about being a peaceful march. You know, let's let's set a different standard, a law abiding march, because remember, if we're going to have marches that don't abide by the laws, First of all, we're hypocrites because of the Do you know anybody that hammered blm more than me in June? In June this year, I'll really ask you that a lot of Republicans are running scared, didn't want to be called, Oh that's racist. Don't criticize BLM.

Did I ever back down on that one. Was I ever saying saying, oh, you know, uh, you know, be blm, we should we should concede to this group and everything else. No, but we have to establish what our principles are. And I know that sounds a little hall monitoris sometimes right, Oh, another person, another person in the media that's telling us about, oh, we have the principles. I try to conduct myself publicly, uh you know, as as in in a way where

I'm proud of what I do. And I can always look my family members and loved ones and people that matter most in the eye and feel like I'm I'm proud and they're proud of me because of the way I conduct myself. So I don't do you know, I don't say horrific things to people. I don't go after people in deeply vicious personal ways and all this stuff. I try to establish some boundaries. I try to work through through my day to day of doing a show

many many hours of content, as you know, extemporaneous. It's all just flowing out of my rain every day, and I try to do it in a way that is advancing things and making I try to do things that make it better. You know, That's that's my approach. Now let's talk So why why am I giving this preamble? Now, let's talk about what happened at Capitol Hill? Because I had a lot of people, you know, Oh, I lost you know, Twitter followers yesterday, not all of them obviously,

but I like probably thousands of them. And I had people that are writing to me saying, you know, what has the establishment done to get to me? Okay, just put aside everything else for a second. But put put aside that, you know, like so many others of my generation, instead of going to Wall Street, I joined the CIA so I could I could quite literally be involved in

the hunt for Osama bin Laden. I mean put aside that I actually try to put my money where my mouth is on on different issues professionally and in my life. It's not about me. Let's just look at this tactically. We're having we're having a hot wash here, friends, We're having a an after action report. What was the point of people going inside the Capitol yesterday, breaking the law, breaking windows and and engaging in that behavior. What was

that for? I'm saying, put it, put aside. Whether you think that this is called for or not for a second. And I have been very clear that I think that this was I've called it a blunder. I called it a blunder on Tucker Carlson Show last night with four million people watching. But what was it going to accomplish? And I know we we kind of people look at me there, oh and some are some are gonna turn off, They're gonna turn off the radio, NTO, the trough, the podcast.

I am your friend. We are in this together, and I'm speaking to you with respect and honesty because this audience that the greatest honor of my life to date has been the people that listen to this show in the numbers that they do, with the trust and the respect that they do now going on many years, and so I speak to you with that in mind. And those of you who have met me in public, no, I light up. I love when anybody from Team Buck comes up to me and says, hey, are you Buck Sexton?

I like your show or something. It makes every time it happens. It makes my day. Every time it happens. It makes me feel like what I'm doing here is worthwhile because invariably, all all the people that do listen to the show that I meet in real life and that reach out to me and that I talk to and everything. There's such good people. There's there's a fundamental decency and kindness and they're just solid. They're just solid Americans. And so that's how I view everybody who listens to

this show. And so that's why I also speak to you the same way as I said I would if there had been some incident within my own family. What was it going to accomplish to have the stormy of Capitol Hill? It was going to do what I mean.

And and for anybody who I know, a lot of you agree with me, by the way, and a lot of you feel like I'm but there there's there's a contingent out there of people who are going to be listening right now and approach will be oh Buck has gone soft, or oh I thought you supported this, and and I look, I'll take all that heat. And that's fine. And you know you're all of you are more than

entitled to your opinions. But I'm going to I'm speaking to those people now who disagree with me on this but are at least open to hearing my my reasoning on it, or at least open to hearing why it is that. I'm taking the position that I do what was it going to accomplish? So so I can take a step back. What does BLM and what do antifa think they accomplished by doing what they do? So we'll put a hold on even answering the question what is BLM and anti But what do they think they get

out of burning down stores, looting, rioting? And yes, I know that over the Kavanaugh hearing, the you know, flooded into the heart Senate building. Protesters you know, went in there and in huge numbers. And this this happens. They took over the Capitol building and in Wisconsin years ago, left wing protesters. I know about all that. Why do they do that? They do it to intimidate people. They do it so that everyday Americans are scared to oppose them.

It is about fear. That is why they loot and burn down and destroy, And it's about exercising their own feelings of rage. And it's about self. It's self gratification and intimidation. That's why they do it. I'm just gonna say it, that's not who we are. That's not who we are. And everyone can get get mad at me

and everything else. I would ask you this, would any of you ever think if I was with you at a march, that I would say or that I would even in my on my own goat, run up and smash a window and punch a police officer in the face because I'm upset about politics. That's what was happening yesterday. Okay, So we know why BLM, We know why these groups do what they do and why it's wrong. What was the purpose yesterday of going And it wasn't an insurrection,

it wasn't a terrorist attack. I understand all of that, of course, and we'll talk about the media double standards. What was it going to accomplish? The sad part of it is you know what it did? You know it because you know it didn't change It's not going to change the election. It's not going to change anything except it emboldens our worst, most dishonorable opposition. It emboldens the left, and we are going to be paying a price for this now on the battlefield of ideas for some time.

You know, I'm telling you the truth, and you know that there is a lot of double standard out there about this, and yes, we should address that and we will in a moment. You're in the freedom. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. The reason they could easily and casually with their cameras on film themselves throwing things through the walls of our capital, our property, going inside the Capitol, sitting in a speaker Pelosi's office, casually take

pictures of themselves. Have that played on Fox News. They know that they are not in jeopardy because the cops are taking selfies with them, walking them down the steps to make sure they're not earth, taking care with their bodies, not like they treated Freddy Gray's body. White Americans aren't

afraid of the cops. White Americans are never afraid of the cops, even when they're committing insurrection, even when they're engaged in attempting to occupy our capitol to steal the votes of people who look like me, because in their minds, they own this country, they own that capitol, they own the cops, the cop It's worked for them, and people like me have no damn right to try to elect a president because we don't get to pick the president.

They get to pick the president. They own the president, they own the White House, they own this country. Disgusting. I mean you need to hear that though disgusting. Did she not have access she works in a news organization. Did she not have access to the Internet. A woman was killed among the people entering Capital shot in the neck, and there's video of it, and it's graphic, and I do not see the need for the use of lethal

force under the circumstances. I don't see it. I've talked to I've talked to friends of mine of law enforcement. I'm saying, you know, what is there some you know, barricaded public official exception or something. She wasn't an imminent threat to anybody. He was killed, shot in the neck through a door, but they still go with the preferred narrative about this. We have now we have to disassemble the lies of the left around what happened yesterday. Thanks

for listening to the bus seson show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcast, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. For me, the saddest moment was watching them attempt to take down the flag of the United States to put up a Trump sign. Think about that for a minute. I think this is a nine to eleven level event in the sense that we are going to remember where we were, what we were doing when we turned on the television and watched the events yesterday.

It is searing in my view, and I for one will never look at a maga had again without thinking of this day. And if you are a decent American, put away your maga had, put away your Trump flag. Remember what those symbols were used for on this day. Settle down there, buddy. It's not a nine to eleven moment or three thousand people died on nine to eleven, Good, good, heavens. This was. This was people making a bad decision to

run on Capitol grounds and destroy property. And someone lost her One person lost her life as a result of what happened yesterday. And I'm I'm still waiting to hear what the justific I've seen the video. The video to me does not look like a justified shooting at all. But I there, this was a particular circumstance. You know, if you were if you were barricaded in your home and there was a mob outside coming through the door

in the window, that's one thing. If you're in the halls of Congress, I I'm open, I'm open to being told I'm wrong on this, from what I see, not a justified shooting. And think about this, if that person could be shot cool, could you open fire on all the on all the rioters? Would you open fire on all of them? Because the standard would seem to still be in place that any person that's smashing windows and going through doors you need to shoot them if you're

Capitol Hill police. So that that needs to be looked at much more thoroughly than what we've we've seen so far in the public discourse around it. But this is where I tell you about the tactic, the tactics part of all of this, and the assessment that we have to do now of what we what was lost as a result of this. For the movement, they they are going to play this, They're going to exaggerate it, and they're going to pretend that this is the only political

violence we've seen in this country in four years. Is that enraging? Yes? It is. Is it a lie? It absolutely is. But as we look at this, we also have to say, you know, to take me back to the initial premise here, what was gained by any of this? The answer is nothing. The answer is nothing, And I don't really understand the mentality why people uh feel like it's we we are not allowed to now say that

we do we draw any lines. I just wann't know what what would be for those for those out there who think that this was a in any way understandable And there's this fine line between I understand all the anger, but I don't understand doing this. No, can't, can't do it. And the left is now going to use this in everywhere. They're going to ram this down our throats for more authoritarianism and for what right there was? There was no gain from it. I know people get mad at me.

I'm telling the truth and this if someone wanted to baby on this, what happen to be at any person on this issue. It's important that we get this right. We either have principles or we don't. Right. We either and people are gonna tell me, oh, we have to fight the way that they fight. Really do do we want? I mean, and let's let's then let's then take that, let's step further. Do we want a a right wing antifa? Do we want a right wing group that goes around

destroying stores attacking people? The answers of course not. But if you are going to say that sometimes we just got to break into a building because there's there's no options left and we're gonna tell me that, Well, then where does that? When does that go away? When when

are we able to do that? Um and I have to say now now we need to understand we need each other more than ever because the stuff that the left is going to be saying about this for a long time to come is they're gonna leverage this one a lot. I would I wouldn't be surprised. You know, social media has already, you know they've done this. They have banned Trump from Twitter, the president of the United States.

They have banned him from Twitter, they have banned him from Instagram, and they have banned him from Facebook as of today, and they're going to keep the bands in place until the transition of power happens. That's right. You have media companies now openly and actively saying they are suppressing the sitting president of the United States until there's the transition of power. This is where we are now.

There's there's all this talk about invoking the twenty fifth Amendment, and there's that that's by the way, a terrible I mean a terrible idea, a terrible idea, all right, that there's no reason, there's no need to do that, there's no reason to do that at this point. Um, we are heading toward a transition and an inauguration within two weeks, and I view it as people would would just think that, you know, the fix was even more in. You can't

let you can't let Trump be president for two more weeks. So, friends, I don't know, I would. I would like to be pointed toward the the conservative the conservative media person out there for those of you again who who are and I know some of you are, so it's it's some of you are very frustrated that I'm telling you these things and have been for the last last twenty four hours. Well really, I've been saying for weeks now that this is where we're heading in terms of the Biden transition,

that Biden's going to be president. We've known this, and I think the president, the president saying that there is that there's election fraud is true. The president saying that we have unanswered questions about the election fraud is completely fair and proper. But taking it to this point now where there's a belief that the election that we don't We no longer have to respect the results of the

system as they stand. Well, now we're talking about rejection of the system wholesale, and let's all be very clear about that. And if that's where you want to go, you're heading down a very dark and very dangerous path. And that's not what we want, that's not what we should have in our country. Yes, BLM and Antifa are treated entirely differently by the press. Yes, they burn things down, and the journalists go outside and they say, oh, it's a mostly there's a mostly peaceful protest. Oh in the

ducking whether molotov cocktails are flying past their heads. The left gets away with political violence. It's not fair, it's wrong. But the way we win is by convincing and showing enough of our fellow Americans that this is disgusting, it's disgraceful, and it is entirely coddled, if not supported by the Democrat Party. And this makes it all much harder to

do that, which is why I don't. I mean, I don't approve of it morally, I don't approve of a tactically, And for people are gonna tell me, oh but buck, look what they're willing to do. I mean, I've I wanted there's a special counsel for Russia collusion that Attorney General Barr has has already put in place. I wanted a special counsel for Hunter Biden. I want us to do what they did within the confines of the law.

That's where we you know, we have to draw a line and we have to all be united in that one. And is it is it hypocritical? Is it a degree of madness for people who were cheering on the left as they did their maniacal, you know, destruction campaigns. Is it's disgusting. I absolutely hate it. Think they're cowards. I think they're frauds. But one thing that I will tell you, and this is and at the end of the day, I actually spoke to my I spoke to my family

about this last Night's just let them know. It is because I respect this audience so much and because I respect what I do, that I will tell you the truth. And that's what I think. I'm i'm I think I do it every day. But today that involves saying things that are going to make some of you upset with me. You're gonna make some of you un follow me and uh, and maybe you know you'll take a break from listening

to the show. I can't change that. I won't lie to you, and I hope, I hope you appreciate where that comes from. That doesn't mean I'm always right. If you think I'm wrong, fine, If you think that I don't understand the full scale of what's going on here and the way this system is, that's you're completely entitled

that opinion. But I would hope that that those of you who and I don't know, I don't know who who agrees withdrawing a line and the unhelpful nature of yes or what percentage of folks listening across the country gear with me? I mean, I would guess it's maybe fifty fifty, sixty forty. I don't know that that would be my estimate, and we'll never have an answer for that. But that's just so you know where my head is

on this. But for those who think that it's wrong to criticize the illegal, and that's a completely separate thing than the hundred fifty thousand or whatever it was people marching through the streets protesting, those are my brothers and sisters. Those are my people. They listen to this show. They support me, They're the reason I have a job. It's I got nothing but love and respect for them. But I tell people, even the people closest to me, when I think that they've made a mistake, and I owe

that's all you. And I said to my family last night, and they, God bless them, they back me up. I said, guys, I've got to be prince of I've got to be true to myself, to this work, to the audience, to be principled at this point, and and that means staring, staring into what is happening now and telling them what

I see happening. I don't think that you would find a radio host who has seen more things, more trends, big trends coming in recent months than I have, particularly when you look at lockdowns and masks and all these things. You know, it's interesting. I actually went on Michael Malice's show, who is quite an interesting quite an interesting guy. I wanted to show maybe almost exactly twelve months ago now, and I said that Democrats would refuse to certify the election.

That was my prediction on his show. And here we are with a lot of Republicans who don't want to certify the election. So I saw something, I just didn't see which side it would be coming from. You're in the Freedom, Hud. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Joe by now travel the world with Joe. I hope he lost. I prayed he would lose. He won. He's

the legitimate president of the United States. I cannot convince people brutes by my words, but I will tell you by my actions that maybe I, among any above all others in this body, need to say this. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are lawfully elected and will become the President and the vice president of the United States on January the twentieth. Is Lindsay gonna get to the bottom

of Russia Gate? I'm just wondering, doesn't. Does Lindsey Graham have a have a Fox News appearance any minute now where he's gonna you know, he's gonna get to the bottom of it. Oh, he's gonna get to the bottom of it. Sure he is at any moment now, Lindsay Lindsay, Lindsay talks talks to a big game. But I would say this right now, what he's telling you is is true. I mean, does anyone want to does anyone want to take a bet at this point that Joe Biden will

not be inaugurated the next president the United States. No, we all know what's happening, and we've been talking about it for quite a while here. Uh, Lindsey Graham and some other Republicans are gonna take a lot of heat for this, There's no question about that. I want to try to tell everybody right now, to the greatest degree, I can. You know what, my friends, it's it's disappointing,

and it's right. I'm I'm as I tweeted, by the way, this is one of those moments I tweeted a couple of days ago, strap in everybody, it's gonna be a rough week. I didn't know how rough. I didn't know how rough it was gonna be. Um, I didn't know how this was going to end, how this was going to end up. But sure enough I had a feeling.

And I give credit to my dad too. He just said, son, I've I've got a sense that something really bad it's going to happen before the inauguration, and I'm telling you this. He doesn't think it's over yet either, He just he just just a gut feeling. He just got a gut feeling, and he was right. But he may be even more right. Who knows, But it's I suppose are we at the point where I can also say to everybody, you know, we're gonna fight through this. That's who we are. What's

the alternative? We're gonna We're gonna tucktail and run. Oh no, the system, the system is always But we're conservatives. This system has always been against us. Right, it's not easy. And those of you who are who are Christians, if you look at the Bible, who did Jesus say it was gonna be an easy thing to follow him? No, this is not supposed to be easy. Who told anybody on the right that this was gonna be fun? And we're gonna just it's all gonna be straightforward and we're

gonna get our way And it's not happening. These are the times that try men's souls. This is when we have to find what we're really made of and stand up and say, all right, it didn't go the way that we had hoped. It is a gut punch, but like actually getting punched in the gut, are we gonna let the bully get away? With it and just and just wallow on the ground. Are we gonna stand up and say, Okay, you got me on that one. Let's see what we got next. Let's see what we've gotten next.

And we're all making that psychological shift now. I know there was a part of I was hoping it was gonna be like Rocky five. I was hoping it would be you know, the Russian is cut and then after the election and we would have found a substance. All we needed was one provable fraud of substantial votes that's intentional and and with a whole house of cards would have fallen. And I do I think it was there. Yeah, I think, But guys, we didn't get it. We didn't

get it. I was talking to people that were involved in trying to get it. I was having them on the show, and I was talking to them offline, and what you know, is there anything I can do to help? I mean, I was going doing everything I could. You know. I was the person who convinced Sean Parnell that he's going to take well, he's got to take his internal data and go public with it about what had happened in Pennsylvania. And that became Pennsylvania was a state where

I think some of the shadiest stuff happened. But Joe Biden has been certified as the President of United States, and now we have to start thinking about what comes next. We have to take action on things like how do we begin to level the playing field here? And it's going to take a long that's a long term project. How do we level the playing field with platforms and media? How do we level the playing field with corporate America's culture that favors the left and wokeness and diversity and

inclusion worship. How do we do that? This is now our our project, because I can tell you this much. The people that are that are taking the approach of it's all over. What's the point is that? Is that the lesson that we get from our our history as a country. Yeah, do you do you think that Washington and Yeah, that's right. I'm gonna started invoking the founding fathers.

You think the Washington and all those guys were like, you know what, the British, You've got a lot more resources and they're more powerful than us, And so we're just gonna We're gonna give in. Of course not it's not who we are. It's not what we're gonna do. I think we have a I think we have a very we have a very well. Actually, no, do we have a bright future as a country? I hope. So I'm not gonna again I cannot tell a lie. I

hope we have a bright future as a country. But I do know that the more we can all see what matters to us as conservatives, what matters to us as people that supported the Trump movement and now understand that we have to create a conservative populism that continues on, we have we have to build. What is it that resonated so much? Yes it was fighting the media. Yes it was talking about the truth about illegal immigration. Yes it was trade in China. Well, those are all still

very much live issues. And we are very very close and and and I really believe this. We're very close to a sea change in American perceptions about the elites and the roles of major corporations in our society. And I think we'll get to a consensus point where we can actually do something about them. Finally, thanks for listening to the bus Show posts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcasts speaking

of important fights to have. You know, doctor Fauci is still out there, and this guy and I we have a very serious, longstanding now disagreement over how much destruction should be done to the United States because of his

catastrophic lockdown policies. Wasn't Wasn't it kind of amazing that yesterday we didn't even have really any and there's no media focus on coronavirus the first time I think since the pandemic began where there was a day where it was okay, we don't have to really think as much

about about coronavirus. One place where you're gonna see a whole lot of rewriting of history and propagandizing is around the incoming bind administration's handling of COVID, because here's here's the big secret, that's not a secret at all, But they're going to pretend they don't have some better plan. It never existed. There there is no better Biden plan

for tackling COVID. In fact, the primary criticisms that I have of the President's handling of Trump's handling of COVID up to this point has been listening to Fauci too much, and this is going to continue on into the future the same way that we've We've reached a politics now where there's no trust on the other side, and then there's also no willingness to say, maybe you guys were

actually right about something. That's a that's a generally true statement now in American politics, where you never want to concede anything to the other side because why they're the other side, and why make that concession. You're certainly seeing that now and you'll continue to see it with the latest on COVID nineteen. But but here's Fauci saying, this is on the daily wire. The US won't return to a strong semblance of normality until the fall. Now here's

what I see happen. Now, wait, wait, before I get into what's going to happen, let me just also say, yeah, we were supposed to get twenty million people vaccinated by the end of twenty twenty. They got about five billion people. We're running at about twenty five percent of what we thought, which is a disgrace. Let's let's just have real talk. Now,

let's have an honest talk about this. We can't figure this out better, We can't get fifty our capacity done and This is because the micro managing at the state and local level of the vaccination process is a disaster, an absolute disaster. And when you have doctors who have to throw out vaccine in the trash because they're not allowed, and now they're threatened, they're threatened with fines, they're threatened with being punished if they get the vaccine into someone's arm.

We have a government that has set this up in a way, and I'm talking about New York State, but it's true in other states as well, where it's better to throw vaccine in the trash under the rules than to just give it to someone who wants it. And you know what, they really should just do. They should just they should just set this up where they should

get it to private practice providers. They should get it into the Duayanne reads and the and the cvs is and the Walmarts and everything or Walgreens whatever, And they say, all right, everybody, you know, we're we're gonna have a prior we're gonna have priority line for seniors, and we're gonna have a line for non seniors, and we get through all the seniors first, and obviously you'd have to distance them out and make sure this was safe, but we get through all the seniors first, and then if

we got we got more vaccine than we haven't used, we're gonna give it to everys in line. And I know that's that seems like sloppy and haphazard at all, but well, what they're doing right now is we have, you know, five seniors, but we had to have ten ten vials of vaccine because I think they're coming in ten packs, mostly thought out, and so we're gonna throw half of it away, throw it away, the throwing vaccine away.

Think about in DC, they had to establish a rule that if you don't have anyone to give it to, who's in this is the DC government, I'm talking about the local government. If you don't have anybody to give it to, but you have vaccine and it's gonna go bad, you can just give it to somebody. Remember that this is all about the herd immunity, the public, the collective benefit of herd immunity for everybody. And you know, it's

just amazing. Faucci. Faucci just keeps moving the goalposts all the time, and and he doesn't know what the heck he's talking about, because he's saying we need to get ninety percent of people vaccinated. What percentage of Americans have already had this virus and therefore have immunity to it. I don't know the end. No one knows the actual answer, but I think you'd have to say a fair guest would be something in the neighborhood of ten to twenty percent.

Maybe I don't know, maybe thirty percent of the country has actually had this and doesn't even really know it. You know, there's a huge number of cases that are that are determined to remember, they say that asymptomatic spread is a very large component of it, and a lot of people don't even realize that they have any symptoms at all. But Faucci saying, quote, I believe it. We do. Sorry,

here we go. If we diligently vaccine, vaccinate people in April, May, June, July, we'll gradually and notice we get a degree of protection approaching herd immunity, which I believe. First of all, no one really knows what absolute herd immunity is for coronavirus. We know what it is for measles because we have decades of experience with measles. So I would say it's

somewhere between seventy percent and eighty five percent. Fauci says, I believe that if we do the kind of vaccines through April, May, June, July, by the time we get to early fall, we'll have enough good herd immunity to be able to get back to some strong semblance of normality schools, theater, sports events, restaurants. I believe if we do it correctly, we'll be there by early fall. And

we're supposed to be happy about this. We're supposed to think that that's some kind of I mean, of course you'd be happy with the reopening, but we're supposed to think the process is being well managed. Here. It's gonna take we've had we will have had a vaccine for nine months at that point, and that's when we're supposed to start getting back to normal. I'm gonna tell this right now too. You're gonna have like math dead enders

who long after we've reached the you know, hurt. I mean, there's still there's not gonna be a little warmusk wear a mask. They've been so traumatized about this stuff, brainwash, traumatized. It's like the person who was on the train we played that for earlier in the week when it felt like we were in a very different news cycle. Person on the train, he was, I have seventy thousand Twitter followers, and she's you know, taking photos of people in masks,

shaming them seventy thousand Twitter followers. She didn't really sound like that, but that's just kind of my general old lady voice. Prus and Mark, you know any old ladies or sounding like that. Yeah, Joe Joy behar joy bait. No, Joy is like more gravelly, it's more it's more like this Joy. It's got a little bit, you know, she's got a little bit of light like down here exactly. So she's kind of got this thing, you know, she's, Oh,

I'm Joy. I talk like this all the time. So she's she's been very mean to uh Megan McCain on the View recently, very snippy with her. I don't know what that's all about. I can't imagine doing that show. That show to me, would just as a as a even a right of center person, not even a particularly conservative, as a right of center person. It just feels like it would be a mule kick. I'd watch with popcorn if they brought you on as a guest I would

watch with popcorn. Yeah, it would probably be pretty pretty pretty decent TV because they would all, you know, I would try to be polite to the ladies at first, but then to be like, you know, yo, why why aren't you? Why aren't you? Would say the Trump is basically Hitler Hitler black quack? Wow? Is that that's really that's actually her buck, that's actually her wow quack quick stop it. Yeah, she's a she's quite a quite a commentator, you know, get get your politics from an unfunny comedian.

That's that's the way a lot of people, a lot of people like to do it. So we're we're working on it. And then as Fauci, the Fauci's down here. You know, the mitigation efforts and you know, however, if you do it all correct, you know, you mitigate, you do this thing, you do that thing. You know. Yeah. Yeah, So so we'll see producer Mark, we need some happy time talk, man, What are you most what are you most excited about going forward? Well, right now, the Mets

are in the midst of making a blockbuster trade. So that's what's on my docket at the moment. Who now tell it? Tell us some happy things. Man, Man, what's the blockbuster trade? The Mets are acquiring Francisco Lindore, who is one of the top shortstops in baseball from Cleveland. I've never even heard of this. I know you haven't, but for me, Buck, just know, it's great news for me, and we needed great news. I know not everyone listening as a Mets fan, but I needed great news. It

lifted my spirits. Well what is the the the truest rivalry? I mean, because then the Yankees are in a different division, right, So who are the Mets biggest rival that they actually are in the division with? Um probably the Phillies off the top, Phillies and Braves would be the two. Are the Braves changing their name? No, the Clevelandraves are staying,

but the Cleveland Indians have changed their name. But yes they will, right, They're just Cleveland now, right, They're just the Cleveland Technically they're still the Indians for this season, but after this season they will change it. M Okay, yeah, sports will be coming back. We need this stuff, folks,

I mean, I Mark, I really believe is. I think that it has been really hard on people because you need these things that you can discuss that just establishes that sort of chit chat and banter among human beings in day to day contact. It's actually a really good healthy thing. Yeah. It's like it's nice to be able to say, hey, you see the game last night. I know it's a bit of a cliche, but you're relating

to people and it gives you commonality. This is, you know, I have friends and family that we talk about books when I see them. My friends when we talk about food or cooking, or we talk about you know, talking about the gym with people. If I'm trying to, you know, get back into shape, which I still amn't failing so far, but I'm trying. Uh. You know, you have these sorts of discussions. I think it's I think it's important. Do you do you agree with everybody in your family on sports?

Are they all on the same team with you? Oh? No, My father's a Yankee fan. Oh my god, he hates that I'm a Mets fan. Producer Mark, This is kind of like a Sigmund Freud was sitting down, he would say, I think we've established an issue here. You have a very different team you support from your dad. Tell me more about your father that's my Sigmund Freud. Okay, it's very good. Yeah, I agree with him on all the

other teams though, at least. Yeah, yeah, well that's good. So, like you're a Giants fan, obviously, I'm a Giants fan. I'm a range. Hockey's my second or my first favorite sport really, so I'm a Ranger fan. Yeah. I mean, I'll tell you that I think that everyone's right now just looking for you know, we all we all kind of want to break. We all want to have a little bit of of a feeling of of you know, optimism and and just find We're all trying to find

our happy place. Ryan's always a happy the happy Gilmore thing where he's walking around with the pictures of beer and the lady in the lingerie and you know, the whole thing. Remember that movie. Obviously, right of course you're the happy place. You know, We're all we're all trying to find a happy place to go to where we

can just sort of say we're riding. We're riding this thing out because you know, the winter time unless you're in Florida, and I know I've basically been doing a free Florida Department of you know, commerce, or visitors center or whatever thing here. But unless you're in Florida right now or maybe a handful of other states, it's it's just a long, a long cold winter, and uh, I know, I know people are having a tough time and it so well, you know what, Mark would probably be a

good time to start doing some history shows. Yes, I think I think we'd do some of that. Maybe, you know, do what should we drop? Let's drop a Malta show this week? What do you think this week? Yeah, I mean I think we have to talk off air about that. But yeah, sure, sometime in the next all right, okay, maybe next week We've got one and I can we can do that. I can record the second one this weekend.

I'll have some time. I just don't want to release one for the listeners and then you take three months to record the second one. That's a fair So you want me to get two in the can, which is the whole ball to series, and then we release one then the other. Exactly. Yeah, I feel like some of some history we could all we all need those those little,

uh mental mental breaks right now. Man, It's it's been it's been tough, you know, It's it's one of those periods where it's time for a lot of people to take up you know, watercolor painting or you know something like that. Are you is producer mark and artistall? No, but my wife really loves that stuff. Like one of the gifts that got her was an adult coloring book for Hanukah this year. Snow Princess loves coloring. Yeah, which sounds so like weird, but like it's a thing adults do.

Is like a scress reliever, just a mindless activity. No, you'll you need that. I've been saying that, you know, video games for me and for I'm sure a lot of people listening, given just the political climate and the COVID and everything else. I don't know what it is, and you know, maybe this is a bad side for me. Video game It's like my brain turns into mush and

I'm just like it's just it relaxes the whole. It's almost like I'm carrying a backpack all day that's full of bricks and I sit down and I throw on something on the PS FOURD. It's just like the I put the bag down, you know, brain just goes off into this deep sleep state kind of Yeah, that's me with video games and when I watch sports, just a fun thing for me to do. Yeah. Absolutely, I may actually go to a a a small and socially distanced

of course, Bills Bill's watch party this weekend. That's that was raised as a possibility. The Bill is going to be your team now because they're actually really good. M mate, Can I jump on the Bills bandwagon? Yeah? I mean you're dating someone from Buffalo, dating someone from Buffalo, and I feel like buffalo Ians or Buffalo Ians, I think that's how we say. I feel like Buffalonians are very very friendly people. They are so yeah, it's like they're

they're New Yorkers, but they're Midwesterners at heart. Is kind of the way that I feels to be. You know, they have a very different vibe. So good thanks, good things, everybody you're in. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Each of these people should be shamed for what they have done today. We should look at their faces and if I was standing on that street, look at them.

They're high fiving each other for this deplorable display of completely unpatriotic, completely against law and order, completely unconstitutional behavior. It's stunning, and they're gonna go back. You know, to the Olive Garden and to their the holiday in that they're staying at in the garden Marriott, and they're gonna have some drinks and they're going to talk about the great day that they had in Washington and they really did something and stand up for something. What a jerk.

I've had to play this before. You can you feel all the all deceiving can tempt from this. I mean, Anderson Cooper is an elitist snob, he is, and this is a man. Know this is minor in the grants giving things this week, but they'll go back to the Olive Garden and then in the holiday in express. You know, he's basically saying a bunch of poor people from flyover states or not poor, but you know, working class people from flyover states and just sneering at them for that,

Oh the Olive Garden with the peasants, Anderson is that what? Oh? Good heavens? You know. Yeah, that's right, that's right, that's right, Cooper. They don't have private chefs, they don't come from the Vanderbilt family. They're just people who do their best and are working to make a living. And yeah, some of them, some of them made a made a made a bad

move yesterday. But most of the people that were in DC, of vast majority of them were just being good people and doing their thing so and being completely law about him. But I think it's you catch this sometimes. Yeah, the journalists out there who represent you know, elite consensus opinion, they they are pompous, uh, you know, jerks, they really and there are other words I want to use, but I can't because it's a family show. Um, they're their

elite is. They're snobs, and they actually do think they are better and get there's gonna be a lot more of this. They actually think they're better as people than anybody who voted for Trump. And I don't mean because of the Trump voting culturally, uh intellectually they think that they're above them. But I don't think it's so funny. I mean, what, what's wrong? What's wrong with the Olive Garden? Like, well, why why is Anderson got to take a shot at

the olive Garden? That's brucer Mark? Olive Garden's got some good food, buck, Come on, you're a New Yorker. Really, I mean, I've garden why because I like it? I mean I've eaten there, but never in New York. Thanks for listening to the Bust. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the iHeart Radio app four warfe you get your podcasts. Where do we go from here? Where does maga? Where

does conservatives and where does the movement go? Given the challenges that we face here and what has gone on, we want to bring in my friend David Reeboy, very sound mind on these issues. He's a conservative commentator, national security analyst, and if you follow him on Twitter, you know he's got a very insightful commentary on these issues. David,

thanks for joining again, glad to be here. All right, man, let me just pose this to you, because right we need a really open among the movement, among our people, so to speak, We need to have a really open conversation. What now, right? I mean there there are a couple

of things. I mean, the last the last couple months have really been infuriating to me because as we see as time goes on, I mean we saw that you know, the President Trump sort of accepted the peaceful transfer of power and basically he he um, he brought down the

curtain on on on on his his his presidency. Um. Today um, he started talking about his first term last yesterday in his speech in past tense for the first time, UM, which I think, you know, the situation that he had, uh, that he had put himself in, and that really that others had pushed him in into this corner, which is that uh, there was really, since the end of November, no legitimate path um to to him securing securing a second term. That was the truth. That's what you know.

Look looking at the facts. I didn't want that. I wanted him to I wanted him to succeed. I thought there was plenty of fraud, UM. But by the end of November it was pretty clear to me and to many others that this just was not going to happen. And for one reason or another, UM, he and a lot of his supporters UM were pushed into a corner

into not accepting it to the very last minute. And I think that was that was kind of tremendously bad because what it did was it crowded out any legitimate analysis, um of what he could do. And it had created this whole kind of weird world of quan On and and and uh and Lynn Wood and and Sydney Powell and all this all this nonsense people waiting for Krakens and and all kinds of things that would sort of show up days X Macina and uh and and save the day. And there was always going to be a

big letdown, and it was going to be a big letdown. Um, that big letdown, as I said on Twitter yesterday, it was excusable because you're doing this to your own people. You're supposed to push your enemy into the corner. You're not supposed to push your own people into the corner. You're supposed to at least give them a path that has some chance of success. And and you know, for one reason or another, he didn't do that, and his many of his sort of marquee supporters didn't do that.

So the rubberim at the road yesterday, and and you know, and it was ugly. And really he walked into a trap that was set for him by the left and by the mainstream media and sort of with with predictable results.

And it breaks my heart because I fear that it's going to tarnish four years of an incredibly successful presidency and um, and now it's going to be used to justify all kinds of insane crackdowns on our free speech which is something that the left has been planning anyway, but now they have the perfect right they're going to say, and you're you're touching on something very important, David, there now, and you've already seen this from the social media companies,

and you know, people will be listening this on radio. And I know, not everyone, and particularly folks of a certain you know, a certain you know age, or sometimes a little less likely to really be very active on social media. But those companies are enormously influential and powerful. I mean, they blow the influence and of our media and political conversations from places like you know, ABC News

even out of the water. It's not even close. And they're actively suppressing conservatives, and they're coming up with evermore aggressive justifications for it. They're going to start You're going to see that they're gonna try to say that MAGA is a hate symbol. I mean, just just give this time. That's where we're heading. Sure, yeah, yeah, absolutely, And you know, and but for four years, for one reason or another, we were unable to say that, hey, you know, President

Trump made a mistake here. He needs to course correct. Anyone who said something like that was deemed a trader and you know, a rhino at Deep State, you know, on and on swamp creature, the whole thing, and and and you know you would see it on Twitter that you know immediately people would would defend him. So, for example, he gets a banned from Twitter and from Facebook today. It was completely predictable. For four years, some of us were telling him this was exactly what would happen. I know,

I wrote a memo. Many other people did too. We were screaming from the rafters. You know, at some point he could have said, you know what, I'm going to join parlor. I'm gonna call up my friend Dan Bongino, and I'm gonna say, hey, I want to do this. Make sure to make sure to triple your servers because I'm going to go and I'm gonna I'm gonna make a shot across Twitter's bow to say I can leave here at any time and I'm gonna leave on top.

But he didn't do it inexplicably, and you know, if he didn't declassify things, you know, he was not able to get to the bottom of spygate, of Russia Gate, of of you know, so many horrible, horrible abuses of power and of the national Security State, that um that the targeted him and his people, and you know, and and what we got in response was, you know, when when some of us would say, hey, he's not doing this, he needs to do this now, people would say, shut

up and trust the plan. I know it was. It's been. It has been very frustrating and and any and I talked about this a lot today. You know, I've been talking about this for well for a long time. Any sense that that you have from a lot of the Trump faithful that you even I tried to like it too.

If if you're you know, on a on a sports team and you go into the huddle at halftime when you say, hey, guys, you know, we gotta get it to players out on the wing, or you know, we we gotta get at our receivers, you know, free on when they're running their patterns by doing the following. That doesn't make you a traitor. That makes you somebody who

wants your team to win. There has This has been one of the features, unfortunately, of with all the good and you started out with us, and I agree there was a lot of really successful stuff from the Trump presidency, but one of the weaknesses that was really built into this from the beginning was you're not allowed to from within the team criticized to help make the team better. It was always you're an you know, it always went

to you're a never trumper. And it's like saying that that Scaramucci is a bad choice for the White House communications director doesn't make you a never trumper. It makes you somebody who sees reality. Right, Yeah, and you can go you can go down the line it was. It's it's such a great example you use of the of the team, you know, because the answer from a lot of these folks, especially from the lynn Woods and the qan On folks, was hey, don't bother yourselves with the strategy.

Trust in God and you know, sort of close your eyes, trust the plan. And uh and on January twentieth, he'll be sworn in again. Well, that's a recipe for failure, it's not you know, if you have no way of getting there, then that's a recipe for failure. And it's

a recipe for for inaction. And that's the thing, you know, when you tell people that that the that the republic is over because they stole an election, there will never be another fair election and you know, et cetera, et cetera, combined with together with um uh, you know, no real path forward. That's when you get I mean, that's when you confuse your people, and you do and you actually

demoralize them. You may fire them up momentarily, but you end up dispiriting them and having them checked out of the whole process, because the rational thing to do would be to say, oh, well, if everything is so screwed, then what are we doing here. I'm just gonna go back. I'm gonna live my life and and I'm going to go back to uh, you know, hanging out with my family and uh and and launching sports and the lack of your point about the lack of we're speaking of

David Reeboy. He's a conservative commentator and national security analyst, UM and and a jazz aficionado. By the way, one day, Dave, we've gotta have you on. You could explain, like you could explain your love of jazz and how we need to bring jazz back as a broader thing in this country.

But but for well we'll get there, but for now, I just want to say, uh, the I saw this plan unfolding back over the summer where remember when there was that whole conspiracy about Trump was attacking the Post Office, right, Trump, Trump is defunding the Post Office? What that was the Democrats and the anyone you speak to who's a Democrat strategist, activist, you know, the kind of uh uh, you know, agents of the d n C so to speak, that are out there. They have wanted a massive expansion of mail

in balloting. And that's not just the ability of mail in ballots. It's you know, earlier mail in ballots, it's delayed mail in ballots, it's dropboxes, it's no signature matches. To say, mail in balloting is just the general that's the the umbrella term for all these other things that go into it that of course make fraud easier. And then, of course, and they did that whole Trump is defunding

the post which was crazy. It wasn't even true, but it was their way of saying, you don't get you know, anything that you try to do that the RNC tries to do, or the Republican the Trump campaign tries to do. To start to litigate these issues and problems will be will be shouted down in the media as oh, look what they're doing. They're they're they're, you know, doing voter

suppression and they're attacking the post office. They knew how this would benefit them and our side, the Republican establishment, was out maneuvered on this and we need because we need to stop it for the next time, and that

we need to be honest about that. Sure, you're you're completely right, and we are, and I mean we've been out maneuvered on voter id for twenty years, um in in in these in these places, you know, and what you know, you get a left wing judge throws it out and then and then you're you're, you know, you're sort of fighting piecemeal in the courts state by state, which is really how they cheated UM as as you said, you know, they're they're the the evidence of fraud was

throughout the summer when they were running back play that you just described and also going from state to state to make sure that you can't match UM votes with the signatures. UM you know, I mean that's to me, that's evidence of fraud, UM you know, or the the intent to commit it anyway. UM. But I look, a lot of people on on our side will come back and they'll say, we'll see you know what, you just

describe the Democrats. They don't care. They just lie. And if we just lie, we can win, just like the Democrats. And I mean it's not that I it's not that I have such a big problem with with with lying, but I have a big problem with doing things this things that don't work. I mean, in order to buy into that sort of uh, you know, strategy or tactic, you would have to say that the left and right have um, you know, our mirrors of one another, they

have equal power and and uh and and things like that. Unfortunately, we don't have the media. We don't have the ability to come up with a lie and then flog the zone from from Nancy Pelosi all the way down to um, you know to superintended at the you know, at the at the Philadelphia Um uh, you know, it's just some random dog catcher, um Democrat. We don't have the ability to do that, and so the the tactics and atagies that are available to them, unfortunately are not available to us.

So what ends up happening is you have Russia Gate on one hand, which is promulgated by you know, the CIA director, the president, you know, the ex president, everyone in the establishment on down government, FBI, CIA, NSA, the whole thing. Um. And then on the other hand, when we have a sort of similar kind of hoax craziness like QAnon, it bubbles up from the bottom, and it bubbles up from the bottom, and it's sort of not unable. UM. It's it's unable to be controlled. And it's sort of

different in in nature. Even though you know, both things are absurd, you know, conspiracy theory, nonsense things. They both have kind of different characters. We've only got about a minute, David, but I just want to know what is your give me, give me the case, the case for limited but realistic optimism right now, I think I think there's a lot

to be optimistic about. Frankly, um, as long as soon as we as soon as we abandon the idea that we need to keep this game going in terms of you know, we need to care very much about what goes on in Washington, um, you know, etcetera, etcetera, and we sort of check out on the national level and focus really sharply on the local level and also on the sort of for profit level, build businesses. Whatever you do, your listeners, you are all in business doing something you're serving. Um,

you're serving a variety of customers. You're selling things. You're you're, you're, you're you know, you're participating in the economy. Okay, figure out how to take what you're doing and apply it to the political war that we're in. Sell to right wingers, sell to people who are conservatives. Create a new product

to to to address this particular market. Um, there's going to be a massive opening now to create an alternate economy that will service the you know, seventy three million plus people who voted for Trump and and you know, really who who hate the left and who who don't want to patronize DLM supporting critical race theory, supporting Antifa, supporting, um,

you know, kind of democrat economy. Yeah, it's time for us to take take back as much control this as we can and start establishing our own our own platforms, our own culture. Do these things as conservatives, all right, David reeboy, everybody, David, always appreciate your insight, my friend, Thanks so much, thank you. You're in the Freedom Mind. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast Platforms. We need more places where conservatives are safe to be conservative. And

I've been saying this. I'm so happy and honestly proud that Dan Bongino is leading the charge on this. So interesting. I remember when I call for platforms. Uh, some conservative Rush Limball, the Great Rush Limbaugh, said he's absolutely right, read it all on his show, and I said, come on, guys,

we got to do this. There was at least one radio host who took it as an opportunity to trash me, because that's a bad idea for I don't know, guys, he's got problems nobody that any of you particularly like. So it doesn't matter. It's not not Rush, glennar Sean. But anyway, I was right, and now everyone seeing it, and now we got to do it. Now we got to build those platforms. And I'm on Rumball, I'm on parlor.

I'm talking to people about starting websites. I'm talking to people about building out and get and it's not Remember it's not just the platform, it's the advertisers. It's the ecosystem. We need people that run businesses that are that that share conservative values to advertise on conservative programs. And that's why I love our sponsors because they're great products, but they're also these are really good people who stand with this show and what I'm saying on this show. They're

not they're not scared of living in it. Leftists, you're gonna stand an angry email. Right. They are American patriot businessmen and businesswomen. And you know, those of you listening, you know you want it. You want to be in this fight. You want to win the future. This is how we do it. More platforms, more advertiser and that's just for media. I'm talking about out, but it's more businesses. Corporate America across the big corporations are woke, they are left.

We have seeded them. We need companies to say either we're gonna we're gonna be a political that's a start, I mean it's not great, or to say we have you know, conservative American values. We believe in you know, God, country and family, all right, and we're gonna support that as as a as a Fortune five hundred company. We need that, friends, We need to win that part of the corporate and culture war. Thanks for listening to the

It's time for roll call. Roll call everybody, Facebook dot com, slash Buck Sexton, team buck at I heartmedia dot com and follow me on the TikTok, follow me on the Graham, follow me in all these places because we're doing we're doing cool things. We're doing fun things.

That's where we are on all this one. Producer, Mark, what was I gonna ask you? Did you really manage to find this, uh this this meme that was just sent to us? Or did you did you commission this? Did you pay somebody to make this Uncle Buck graphic that I'm seeing. I swear this person who you're about to read their role call message made this themselves and sent itive. Oh man, this one is. It's funny because it actually kind of looks like something I would wear,

except for the hat. I don't wear hats really yeah, But the actual rest of the outfit, it kind of looks like rummaging through my closet, which is at a little disconcerting anyway. Dan writes in Uncle Buck Happy New Year. Prior to twenty twenty, I was not very political. My interests are sports and beer. Having followed politics for a year now, it shocks me that as conservatives we have to worry about the left and people supposedly on our side.

The left does not seem to grapple with this. In the sports world, this is pretty much the most despicable form of human scum possible. Just ask producer Mark what happens to players who get caught point shaving or throwing games. It speaks the care of people we vote into office. I'm utterly disgusted by some of our GOP teammates. I do not have any solutions or suggestions. This was just an observation. Best wishes for continued success in twenty twenty

one and beyond. Ps a little Christmas gift for all the great content, and he sent me a It is my face superimposed on John Candy as Uncle Buck in the beloved cult classic Uncle Buck from the eighties. Can't people start thinking the name Buck is at least the guy from the Horse Whisperer documentary. It's called Buck, the name of the documentary. Can I be compared to that that guy was cool? I don't know. I don't know what you're talking about. So obviously Uncle Buck is more

resident way bigger movie. So there was a documentary about if you. If you type in documentary horse and then Buck, it'll come up. And it's a it's about a guy who trains, uh, you know, who trains problem horses and and he's he's the horse whisperer. Basically, it's follows this guy named Branniman, Buck Branniman, who had an abusive childhood and then became phenomenally successful in training horses. He's a real life horse whisperer and essentially working with horses was

like a healing process for it. He's a cowboy. He's a cowboy and it's a really good movie. By the way, I'm just gonna say this, I wish it was from twenty eleven, directed by Cindy Meal, and it's the real life horse horse whisper named Buck Brannaman. And I'm just I wish, I wish that would be what people think of a little more than John calthough, as producer Marcus pointed out, John Candy is technically the protagonist and the hero of Uncle Buck. Yeah, and the kids of him,

yeah right, yeah, I mean the kids like him. So you know, I'm actually doing Uncle Buck duties this week, and I've got my little nephew, Ryan, little baby Ryan, who's off the charts adorable. He is getting his back baptism. And I am the godfather, Oh the Godfather. I'm gonna be standing there at the baptism. You want a favor, and all right, you know the whole thing. Yes, I've

seen the movie. Yeah, exactly exactly. So thank you very much Dan for sending it and sending it in and and yeah, we do have we have a lot of turncoats on our side. We have a lot of people who are um, not particularly uh, not particularly reliable. That's a true thing, unfortunately. So I will continue to do everything I can to, you know, to be a stalwart and to fight for our side with everything I've got, even though you sent me this uncle buck bean, which

I'm just kidding. It's funny, I do. I do, it is amusing. I enjoy it, Andy Buck, like you, I spent the better part of my Christmas holiday in Florida and miss it dearly after returning to Lockdown, Minnesota. Shortly after sitting down to a lovely dinner at a restaurant Indoors, two gentlemen in their fifties sat at the table next to us. After clinking glasses of wine, one said to the other. You know, I've lived in San Francisco for the past twenty five years. I've been trying to leave

it for the past ten. My wife finally looked at me yesterday and said, we can't live here anymore. We need to move California, New York, Illinois and big cities can continue their trash policies to their demise. Then, Look, this is real. There's there's a major migration. It is happening. This is not just something in conservative media or whatever. There is a major migration of people occurring that they're going away from these very very blue states to redder

and or red states. So that's that's where we're at. And you know, Producer Mark might be Producer Mark from Fort Lauderdale within a relatively short period of time here. So there we have sure hopes. Fort lauder is very nice, very nice. I gotta say, Brett buck Uh, we need something good right now that will distract us and I'll allow some time to lick our wounds. We need the Siege of Malta episode, Buddy. It's a sad day in

the freedom unding for America. Our shields are a little less high today, Brett, my man, you read my mind. I don't even see this a roll call message until now, and we were talking about it before. Yes, we're we're gonna be putting out some some some history podcasts. We're gonna be giving people some content out there to listen to. So please, if you're listening on one of our wonderful affiliate stations on radio, we have history only podcasts that go in our Buck Sexton Show stream, So all just

subscribe to the Buck Sexton Show. It even you listen on radio. Great, but then you'll be able to go into your podcasts and we'll we'll you'll see we had the real Dracula, we got the Siege of Malta coming up. I'm already deep into the research on Hannibal versus Rome and essentially the Second Punic War, Punic being a Greek word Punicus referring to the Phoenicians because the Carthaginians were of Phoenician Uh, we're effectively a Nichean offshoot or you know,

their forebears were the Phoenician people from the eastern Mediterranean. Anyways, Yeah, I'm doing the show. I don't even I haven't released it yet, but one of the most amazing military campaigns in all history. I mean it would be it would it would almost be like, uh, you know, North Korea invading the US with a ground army and actually like beating us on our own territory for a couple of years before we finally were able to turn it around, and you're just like, what, how could they do this?

Not not really, because North Korea is far smaller and less powerful than US, but I just mean some foreign entity invading the US, some external country. This is not a civil war, invading the US and and we're the most powerful country in the world and on our own territory they beat our best forces and biggest army over Now can you imagine that? That's what happened in Rome in two eighteen BC for for quite a number of years there after. That's when it started. So that's when

I yes, we will absolutely do history stuff. I also want to do more Team Buck hangout stuff. That's why we've got the Team Buck Facebook supporters set up, because I wanted to be able to bring some people in actually and hear their voices in real time. I want to do more Instagram hangouts. We got plans. We got plans. Uh, you gotta see me. I'm putting stuff on TikTok dick took, don't up? Do you know what I mean? Isn't that

what it is? Yeah? It's kind to the words. Yeah, even um Kesha with a money sign because I'm cool, just making sure. Thank you, Lewis, Hey, lou Buck. I'm a huge fan. Listening from Amsterdam. Where Amsterdam is that? Oh? Okay? Yeah? Like the I thought I thought he put in the uh. I thought it was like an Amster, you know how there's like, uh, there's like Oxford, Oxford, Alabama, Oxford, Georgia. I forget it. I thought he was giving me a state designation Africa. I was like, is there an Amster?

There probably is an Amsterdam in the US. Actually is there? Let's let's let's fact check that there's all these It's probably small. Um so anyway, from Amsterdam v V Amsterdam, there's an Amsterdam, New York. But that is not where he is writing. That's what I see. It said Amsterdam, and and then I looked at I was like, wait and why or no, No Amsterdam like the Netherlands. I'm

a US citizen living here for twenty years. My daughter has a chance to attend Fordham Law School for one year through an exchange program at the University of Amsterdam. With that said, and knowing your NYC background, can you tell me how crazy it is with the rising crime in NYC. I'm very concerned. Thanks, So Lewis, first of all, Amsterdam,

that sounds great, man, I've heard. I have a very good friend of mine who actually lives full time in Amsterdam, so that's a real thing and I and she loves it. She absolutely loves it. She's been living there for years for Fordham Law School. And my sister is a graduate, my little sister, who's the most wonderful little sister ever. She is a graduate of four M Law School and she liked it. As for New York City, from a safety perspective, look, it's getting worse here, but it's still

pretty safe. The violent crime is in certain areas of the city that are not near the Fordham Law schools, right in midtown. Fordham Law School is actually very close to where I live, so I can tell you that if she goes to Fordham Law School, she'll be safe there. But there's definitely a really you feel the increase in the quality of life stuff here. The quality of life crimes. The so called squeegee men are back, and they common They schmear stuff on your windshield and they demand money.

There's a lot more. There's public urination, there's open air, broad daylight drug usage. There's a lot of aggressive homeless and vagrants going around the city panhandling, but not in a nice way, you know, kind of demanding money. I mean that that is all on the rise here, but I have to tell you New York is still on the numbers. Bear this out. New York is still a safe large city overall. It's actually a lot safer than other cities that you don't think of as being necessarily

high crime. I mean, New York, for example, is much safer than Washington, d C. I'll tell you that New York is safer, having lived in both places. Safer than New Orleans, by the certainly safer than Chicago. I mean so, so I would not I would not avoid New York City for school purposes, for safety reasons, for political reasons, that's a whole other thing. And I'll tell you Fordham Law School is very liberal. Fordham Law schools of very

liberal all law schools. Now, law schools have become indoctrination factories for the left. That has really been happening. That's a very real phenomenon. So be aware of that that your your daughter is almost certainly going to get a They're going to attempt to brainwash her into making her

not just a lawyer, but a progressive activist lawyer. I mean, Fordham Law School during the BLM thing, was sending out, you know, notices that are essentially all in line with BLM, you know, and how the cops are the bad guys. I'm saying, you're creating future prosecutors and judges here and the cops are the bad guys. Oh yeah, Oh that was a real thing, and it's true at Harvard Law School, Yale Law School, you'll find it. But Fordam is a

very reputable place. And my little sister's done well. She's got a great job coming out of there. So and look, I love New York. I I just wish it wasn't being ruined by libs, you know, and then it is. So that's where I am on that Michael shield Tie advanced forward buck. I feel Trump failed big time in his promise to drain the swamp. Though Trump failed in his goal, he certainly got the swamp and all of its creatures to expose themselves as well the interrelationship of

their motives and personal gratifications. I predict that Trump and his family will continue to be leaders for this country, and unlike what happened with the Tea Party movement, instead of doing what they want and going away, we all need to continue the fight and offer our support to others on a personal level to make sure that money remains with a just cause. You know, Michael, I'm wondering. I'm kind of curious to see what the appetite is

for this audience to have that. You know, I don't want to do it too soon, right I don't want to get into what need what we need to continue the work on and where Trump did not hit the mark right now. We're processing right now and I've done a little bit of that, but I don't want to dive too deep into it. But we are going to need to do that, and we need to understand. Look, we have a president here who didn't didn't get a second term. We have to look at why. Okay, it's

very tough to be at an incumbent president. That is what has happened. Why did that happen, and every sense from election fraud all the way down to Trump promises and what policies were instituted and everything else. So, Michael, that's gonna be something we do here on the show. And I do think that the Trump family is going to continue to be a prominent voice in our politics. But we'll see how prominent going forward. You're in the

Freedom Hunt. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Buck, I turned on Tucker last night just in time to catch you. Great job. Now, I want to make the point that even if we would have won those two Senate seats, that there are enough rhinos in this Sedate that would have allowed the Democrat to get a lot of their agenda through even with the GOP majority, just the same way the majority House in twenty seventeen and twenty eighteen allowed the minority Democrats to control so much.

While it would have been nice to have a GOP majority leadership, it would have only gone so far. Best case scenario, we would have just again been putting off the inevitable. It was only a matter of time before the Democrats took full control of the federal government again. Well, John, first of all, thank you for the kind words about my Tucker appearance appearance, and it was very nice that, you know, Tucker's show on such a big news night to put me on as one of their first three

or four guests. Um, it's I really appreciate that Tucker's Show holds me in that kind of regard. And I think that I said exactly what I needed to say last night. You know, people can agree or disagree, but I was putting it all out there. As for what would have happened if we had a GEOP majority in the Senate, maybe I don't know. They would have broken with the GOP. I mean you're talking about like Collins and Uh, you know, some of these week week Republican types.

You know, I would they have broken with the GOP on some of these core issues, you know, I don't know. I don't think. I don't think so, but yeah they would have. You can't count on them for the really tough stuff, that's for sure, But at least we would have had a real clear block. I mean, friends were you know, shields high hold the line. This is what I'm always saying. We're gonna have to do that now
