Actress Sydney Sweeney stars in a new American Eagle ad wearing denim, and the Left completely melts down.

Speaker 1 (00:11):
You're listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcast, Let make
sure you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeartRadio app
or wherever you get your podcasts. Why did the libs
freak out so much about the Sydney Sweeney genes ad genes,
the clothing and the play on word, of course is
genes like genetics. And they're saying it's Nazism for this
(00:34):
ad to be run. They're claiming that this is demeaning
and threatening to I don't even really know who unattractive women.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
It's bizarre.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
But what you're seeing is that the left, the Democrats,
are pushing further into the madness instead of trying to
correct and to just course. After President Trump gave them
a butt kicking in the last election on a whole
range of issues, they're doubling down on the crazy. Yes,
(01:09):
in fact, the human sexual desire is a very effective
marketing tool. Hot chicks sell things. This has been true
for as long as people have been trying to sell
things in the public domain. Right, It's very obvious you
have a beautiful woman drinking coca cola, so people associate
something they find appealing, beautiful woman with coca cola, which
(01:32):
by the way is terrible for you, and you shouldn't drink.
But put that at least the normal kind. Even with
the sugar instead of high fruit dust cord syrup, it
still spikes your blood sugar through the River's terrible.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
It's a lot of calories. It's terrible for you.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
I don't know why people think that coke with sugar
in it is healthy.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
It's not healthy.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
High fruit dust cord syrup is bad. So is sugar
in excess or the kind of sugar you have to coke.
Put that aside. Why are they also upset about the
Sydney Sweeney ad Well, it's also the beginning of a
shift within our broader culture. They don't want The Left
does not want to make any change going back toward
(02:08):
the elevation of beauty, the elevation of talent, and anything
that starts to feel more like meritocracy and a society
rooted insanity instead of a society that is constantly in
the midst of apologizing for itself and is obsessed with
(02:29):
diversity and equity and inclusion. They hate all that right,
and they know that even something as straightforward as beautiful
women celebrated in society, it's too straightforward, it's too rational,
it's too reasonable reasonable. How can they have full control
over you if they tell you that you have to
(02:51):
think a three hundred pound Eskimo woman is the definition
of beauty and you need to be excited to see
her in an ad with genes.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
But you say, no, I actually.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Want to see somebody who looks like Sidney Sweeney, you know.
And it's interesting as well. It's not about whether somebody
is white or not, or that's really not the heart
of the conversation, because there are beautiful models and actresses
of all different ethnicities. I have to sit here and
name them. You can think of them off the top
of your head, right. And yet what they were doing
(03:25):
was changing, trying to change the standard of beauty to
what is not beautiful, what is not physically appealing, and
what should not be celebrated. And there's something intentionally demeaning
about a cultural a cultural mandate to go against what
we all know is something that should be appealing, right,
(03:45):
to reject what we like. It would be like a
cultural mandate to say that food that tastes bad is
what you should want to eat. But no, I don't
want that. I want food that tastes good. You see,
it's all about manipulation and obedience and this is and
there's a lot of issues here that come together with
something as simple and I know it seems silly. Oh,
(04:06):
it's an ad with an attractive blonde woman with you
know who's buxom, and it's all about how we are
going to market things going forward. Yeah, that's a part
of it, but there's a lot more that is at
work as well.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Their ability to tell you.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Anything, to tell you to do whatever it is they
want you that they want you to do. Yeah, it's remarkable, really,
it really is. They want you to just obey. They
want you to obey. Now, I've got to talk to
you about birch gold. Credit to President Trump and the
(04:46):
members of our Treasury Department finalizing those tariffstals. President Trump's
doing great things in the economy, but you have to
take action for yourself. Those forthcoming tariffs will make a
dent on our federal government deficit for sure, but we're
going to need more than that, and you need to
take action for your own bank account. How do you
protect the value of your hard earned dollars, diversify your
(05:07):
savings into gold, gold an appreciating asset of forty percent
the past year, and central banks from other countries continue
to bolster the demand for gold by buying in record quantities.
Birch Gold makes owning physical gold easy for thousands of
customers in this audience. They easily convert existing IRA or
four oh one k into a tax sheltered IRA in
physical gold. Text my name buck to ninety eight ninety
(05:29):
eight ninety eight. Birch Gold will send you a free
info kit on gold. Text buck to ninety eight ninety
eight ninety eight today.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
So yeah, that's a good thing to do. Okay.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Something else that has come up here White House today,
speaking out here, we have Caroline Levitt speaking out on
the policy of stopping gender transition for kids, and here's
what she had to say about that.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
I can tell you that ending the chemical castration of
children in our country is a priority of this administration.
We've talked to many of these universities about it. But
we've also the President has also taken very strong action
to cut off the funding for any medical institution in
this country that provides those barbaric procedures. At the Brown
University Agreement. Since you brought it up, is yet another
(06:23):
win to root out anti Semitic behavior on our nation's
college campuses in unlawful racial discrimination. Brown has agreed to
no longer allow unlawful racial discrimination it admissions or university programming.
They have agreed to provide access to all relevant data
and information to RI rigorously assess compliance with its commitment
(06:47):
to merit based admissions, and they will pay fifty million
over ten years to state workforce development organizations that can
ply with anti discrimination laws, supporting regional economic growth and
career opportunities. Brown will also adopt the definitions of male
and female from President Trump's executive order defending women in
gender ideology, extremism from women's sports prog facilities in housing.
(07:12):
Brown will no longer perform gender reassignment surgeries on miners
or prescribe them puberty blockers or cross sex hormones. And
Brown will take steps to improve the campus climate for
Jewish students in combat anti semitism on their campus. This
is yet another huge win for American students and for
those who love our country and want abide by our
(07:32):
country's laws.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
It's insane to me that we are still in this place,
that we're even having this conversation. It's insane to me
that we're in this place where we have to pretend
that there's not something truly monstrous about puberty blockers for children.
They're ruining these kids' lives. They are ruining their lives
(07:56):
because of what is a psychological and social and socio
political fashion among Libs.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
That's why, Oh what a shock.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
They're all these celebrities who suddenly have trans kids. Oh,
somehow we're not supposed to see the correlation super lib
parent trans kid. Why is that happening over and over again?
You see the people who.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Come forward, it's always like a former or.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
A current actor, actress who's a left wing activist, who goes, oh,
I've got a trans kid. Oh, I've got a couple
of trans kids. This is a social contagion. It's very
obvious that that's what's going on here, and the White
House is not having it anymore. What could be more
important for the government than.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
To protect children?
Speaker 1 (08:47):
What could be more important than preventing the destruction of
young lives because of this insanity and it truly is
insane of gender transition. For first of me, you can't
even do it, it's not even possible it doesn't work.
There is no such thing. There is no gender transition.
(09:09):
You just have somebody who has mutilated their own gender.
You cannot become a woman and a woman cannot become
a man.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
That is a fact. It is an unassailable fact.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
And the people they're saying, oh, but there's a different
section in general, they are tying themselves up into nonsense,
obvious nonsense. Thank heavens, we have a government now into
the Trump administration, that is willing to just say what
this is.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Yeah, do kids who think they're born in the wrong body?
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Do they need psychological counseling, assistance, mental health treatment? Sure
of course, But is part of that treatment giving them drugs?
That what ends up happening after you give puberty blockers
to a teenager. First of all, there's all kinds of
health drawbacks which now, unfortunately science will lie about now,
(09:58):
or I should say not science, but the scientific community,
because there's so many cowards in it, will lie about
this and say, oh, no, it's fine, or it's reversible. No,
they don't know that. They don't have good long term
studies on this in the first place. But it takes
ten years to come up with a new drug. Do
you think they've done ten years of real clinical trial
data on gender dysphoria transitions via puberty blockers, and do
(10:20):
you think they'd be honest about that data even if
they did the trial course.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Not, So this still goes in the pile.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
It's the same idea I was talking about before with
Sidney Sweeney, you know, beautiful woman selling genes and the
left freaking out. There's something deeply abnormal about the Democrat,
the Democrat core. There's a deep sense of malcontent and
(10:47):
bitterness and resentment that is right at the center of
the modern Democrat mindset. And part of this is I
think driven by their desire to do whatever they can
do to bring as many people into this madness as possible,
because there's no way out of it, there's no way
(11:07):
to get around it. Once you've been a part of this,
you are now essentially forced to either admit that you've
done something terrible or to your own child or to
yourself with these gender transition stuff, or you can go
(11:28):
along with the madness and act like this as somehow normal.
It is absolutely crazy. Our nation needs original ideas to
solve our largest problems. If one of those problems is
eliminating our thirty six trillion dollar national debt. There may
be a solution right under our feet. So if you
hear of a plan for the Trump administration to monetize
our natural resources, there's good reasoning behind it. According to
former presidential advisor Jim Rickards, there's a much, much bigger
(11:53):
story you need to know about right below our feet,
one hundred and fifty trillion dollars stat owned asset that's
been hidden for over a century. It could trigger an
economic boom not seen in a century and send one
small sector of the market's skyrocketing.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
But you need to act quickly.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
President Trump moves fast once this breaks his mainstream news
the opportunity advantages forever. Go to Birthright twenty twenty five
dot com. That's Birthright twenty twenty five dot com to
hear what Jim Richards has to say on this paid
for by Paradigm Press.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
That's it for the buck brief Today.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
I gotta go finish the edits on my book, By
the Way, which is coming out in January, which I
am very much looking forward to and being able to show,
being able to hopefully have all of you buy that book.
I hope you will get friends to buy it as well.
I got to sell a lot of copies. I wrote
it myself. It took forever. It's writing a book is
quite a quite a journey. But that's it for here,

Put that aside. Why are they also upset about the
