Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to the Freedom Hunt. This is the best of
buck Daily podcast, the top stories of the day from
the Buck Sexton Show. From more buck Head to buck

Welcome friends, day after the final debate, Welcome to the
Buck Sexton Show. Great to be here with you. And
(00:22):
I got to tell you, things are a little bit
more tranquil than I think any of us would have
expected at this phase of this political race. Maybe the
left really did exhaust itself a little bit this summer
with the riots and the mayhem and the looting and
the arson and all the stuff that they were doing, right,
(00:43):
maybe they got that out of their systems. And you know,
I'm just gonna say it, it's not as fun to
break into a shoe store or go steal some designer
clothing in the name of social justice. When it's dropping
down into the fifties and then into the forties. You know,
when it's cold outside marching in the street, you know,
you need the marchers there to make it seem like
(01:05):
a mostly peaceful protest. Marches don't want to be cold.
They like it when it's seventy five with a gentle breeze.
That's when you really want to do the social justice stuff.
You don't want to do it when you got all
of a sudden start thinking about wearing submittance. So they
maybe got a little bit ahead of themselves, used a
(01:25):
little bit more of the energy then. But I also
have a new theory about this, which is that they
realize the Democrats have the word has gotten out. And
you saw this with the ACB hearings, You saw this
with the way they've been responding to Trump recently. They
can't act like total psychopaths right now, and they can suppress,
(01:47):
they can lie, they can do all the things they're
doing clearly the media in particular, but they're really the visceral, obvious,
viral video Biden supporter is acting like barbarians. That stuff
is not a good look in a general election. One
thing to get the base all fired up in the
(02:08):
election year, but it's not a good look for people
who actually want to win, those independent voters and that
small slice of the pie that's going to determine who's
the present for the next four years. So my theory
is this, they're lying in wait right now a little bit.
They're being a little bit more coy than perhaps we
had anticipated. But if Trump wins this election, and there's
(02:30):
already some early indicators this is the case, then the
insanity gets dialed all the way back up to eleven.
Then the insanity is unleashed that's been building up right
now because there are still all the left wing crazies
out there. They're just lying in wait. They've been told
by the people who write the pay checks for the
(02:50):
placards and the U hauls that deliver the social justice
materials and anti cop weaponry that shows up at these protests.
They've been told, hey, guys, we got a fool enough,
well intentioned people in a handful of battleground states so
that we can be in power and then you can
run wild and no one's gonna stop you. But for
(03:11):
right now, cool it, calm down. I think that's what
we're saying, because ACB hearings pretty quiet what we've seen
in response to Trump lately on the streets. At least,
I'm talking about the activism. I'm talking about the really
extreme actions that the left it was taking all summer.
I mean, from May June July August, this country was
(03:33):
in the grip of a left wing terror, and then
suddenly in September it started to fade out, and then
we get into October and all of a sudden, like
I said, it's colder, but they've realized they're not helping
their buddy Joe Biden. There's only so much he can
do to hide the actions of his base. If they're
going wild right before people are cast again, it's mean. No,
(03:55):
tens of millions have already voted. So that brings me
then to the actual debate last night. I don't want
to focus on the parts of it that I think
are the most important for all of us between now
and the actual election. Yes, Trump won, and I appreciated that.
When I said Trump won on Twitter, the President retweeted it.
So then, of course my timeline on Twitter was full
(04:17):
of all kinds of madness. But the President agrees with
me that I agree with others that he did win
that debate. And this was more of the Trump that
I had expected to show up at the first time around.
He was completely calm, cool and collected. He was in
control of the facts. He was in his way in
a Trump in a way, very presidential. He was a
(04:40):
guy that you feel like in the boardroom if you
had a dozen people gathered together in some fancy corporate
office having a big meeting, He's the guy that everybody's
going to be looking to and listening to. That's his demeanor,
that that's his and the two he is. Biden was
just kind of a feeble mess. I don't know what
(05:01):
else to say. Yeah, he was. I mean, he was
reasonably coherent with the usual talking points. There was nothing
particularly compelling about any of the stuff that he said.
We had really heard it all before, but seeing these
two candidates on stage, Trump just has much greater magnetism, charisma, vitality.
(05:22):
It's just not comparable. And if we weren't having this election,
and this was what really just ran through my mind
last night as I was watching it live, if we
weren't having this election in a bizarre year of COVID,
Trump would win every state he won in twenty sixteen,
plus three or four additional states. Definitely would would pick
(05:43):
up a New Hampshire. You know, Trump would win. I
think he'd have a shot at Minnesota. He would win
states that he didn't win the last time. But because
of COVID and what the country's going through, I've been correct.
I think we'll see. But my assessment all along is
this is going to be a very tight race. And yes,
the electoral college, no one can really guess exactly how
(06:05):
that's going to shake out. But we know that it's
going to be a small number of votes in a
small number of states that determined this thing. All the polls,
all the numbers show us that. So this is going
to be a fight to the finish. Was what Trump
did last night on stage enough to move the needle.
The truth is, no one will really ever know. He
did not get a knockout blow against Biden. There was
(06:27):
no moment you watched that and you said, oh, you know,
Biden's finished. And given what's happened with the Hunter Biden
revelations this week, I do think there was that possibility.
I think that there was a realistic chance that Biden
was going to get so tripped up and it was
going to be such a mess up there that it
would have cost him in the general in a way
(06:48):
that we could really, we could trace, we could go
from point A to point bad didn't happen. In fact,
one of the biggest surprises last night was that there
was not a single moment of real challenge to Biden
all the Hunter Biden stuff to Joe Biden on the
Hunter Biden stuff. He managed to skate past it. Now,
(07:10):
I don't want to spend much time talking about the moderator.
If you read my Twitter timeline, you'll see how I feel.
I thought she was fine. She was fine for fifteen minutes,
and then for the next fifteen minutes it started to
get a little bit wait, why are you only interrupting Trump?
And she really did only interrupt Trump. I think there
were two or three interruptions of Biden answers the whole night.
And then and then she asked some questions that I
(07:32):
found really distasteful and biased, Like I forgot that what
exactly the verbiage was. But you know, hey, Trump, you're
a racist, right, so why are you a racist? Or
why are you not one? And then the climate change question,
which I'll get to that in a bit. This is
just journals have to do this to prove how smart
and serious they are. They have to ask about climate change,
which if you even look at the polling year in
(07:52):
and year out, it's like the twentieth most important issue
to the American people overall. When they list out all
these issues. I mean it's really you know, a minor.
It starts to get up there with like the eliminating
the carried interest loophole or something. I mean, yeah, some
people care. But anyway, so there was no knockout blow
against Biden. There was one moment where I think he
(08:15):
created a real vulnerability for himself, and that has to
do with oil and we'll get to that. But I
just I saw last night as an opportunity for people
to get one more glimpse of really what we already
know about these two guys, who they are. Donald Trump
is not a politician. Sometimes he can be a little
bit unpredictable, to put it mildly, and he has his
(08:38):
own way of doing things. But the guy is a
fierce fighter. He's got a tremendous amount of leadership quality
and a tremendous amount of magnetism, you know, personal charisma.
And he's done a good job for four years. They
can say that he's been awful on COVID all day walk,
(08:59):
but those are just talking points. He's done a good job.
Joe Biden is essentially the classic, I mean the quintessential,
completely replaceable and uh, you know, duplicative Democrat politician Joe
Biden reminds me of a whole bunch of other guys.
I mean, you know, you could you could switch out
Joe Biden with Senator Murphy from Connecticut or you know Bloomenthal,
(09:24):
I mean two Connecticut guys up there. You know, you
switch out Joe Biden with any number of you know,
but the only difference is Biden's been the game much
much longer. But just another Democrat, nothing special, nothing powerful,
and has that whole old school you know. Hey, you know,
I'm just I'm just your friend sitting at your kitchen table,
and I'm from Delaware. And sometimes my voice starts to
(09:47):
almost get a little folks see, like I'm maybe from
the South, but I'm I'm really from Delaware. Man, hey, man,
you know, and I kind of throw in these phrases
to make it seem like I'm just one of the people.
And you know, it's it's also staged and phony, and
it's worked for this guy though for a long time.
There's a reason why cliches are cliches. It's because people
(10:10):
use them because they offered work and they're useful. But
that's what you got last night with Joe Biden. I mean,
there's nothing, there's no vision, there's no there's no reason
to vote for Joe Biden other than he's a Democrat
who is not Donald Trump. So that's it. I mean,
that was the choice you saw on stage last night.
(10:31):
Now let's dive into who threw a punch, wear on
what how much it mattered. Thanks for listening to the
Best of Buck Daily podcast. To get more from Buck
by following him on social media at Buck Sexton on Facebook, Twitter,
and Instagram, and don't forget to visit buck Sexton dot com. Look,
all he does is talk about shutdowns, but forget about him.
(10:53):
His Democrat Governor's Cuomo in New York. You look at
what's going on in California, you look at Pennsylvania, North
Carolina Democrats, Democrats all they're shutdown so tight, and they're dying.
They're dying, and he supports all these people. All he
talks about is shutdowns. No, we're not going to shut down,
and we have to open our schools. We do have
(11:14):
to open our schools. Trump's right about that. The science
backs him up on that. Democrats have allowed schools to
remain shutdown, have made sure, have demanded that schools stay
shut down because they think it's in their political interests.
But I think this is one of the strongest areas
for Trump last night, and as you know, I'm I
don't care when anybody what the polls say or anything else.
(11:36):
Shutdowns and the restoration of normal life from this COVID
new normal they're trying to enforce on us of being
scared of each other, separate from each other, masking up
all the time. This is the most important issue in
the country right now. Barnun and Biden try the usual
last night of blaming Trump for everything that's happened during COVID.
(11:58):
He tried the usual two hundred thousand deaths, our Trump's responsibility,
how many deaths would there be if Joe Biden was
in charge? And what would be acceptable? This issue has
just been so ripe for demagoguery along and Democrats have
exploited it at every opportunity. That has been their approach,
(12:18):
which I know is completely unsurprising, but we should at
least see this for what it is. The President listened
to the experts, he did what they wanted him to
do at every phase, and he's now allowed the States
to deal with this in a state by state fashion,
which is in keeping with common sense and with the law.
Mind you, a lot of places are using what are
(12:40):
effectively police powers to create us. They've got a state
of emergency, and they're using police powers under the state
of emergency to quarantine an entire population at different levels.
And it's kind of a few layers all coming together.
That's not something the federal government should do. Think about
what the Democrats are really are arguing for here. Why
(13:02):
should Montana, where I was for a bit this summer
in August, why should Montana have the same policies about
COVID that New York City has? That makes no sense whatsoever.
But then again, you take this a little bit further.
You can say, why should twenty five year olds have
the same approach to COVID as seventy five year olds?
That also makes no sense. And people say, oh, but
(13:23):
the twenty five year olds give it to the seventy. No,
you know, if you're going to be in contact, it
is in fact, entirely possible for people to live much
of their life without being in direct sustained contact with
people who are at high risk. That is very possible.
But Trump made his case on this last night, and
it was what we needed to hear. He said, this
is what I've done, This is where we're going. We
(13:44):
got vaccines coming, We're putting out the fires one by
one as they come up with the increase in cases. Now,
I'm going to continue to make this argument, but you know,
New York has still very low cases and the only
thing that makes sense to me, and it doesn't mean
we're not gonna have any more cases. Of course, we
have cases day in and day out, but we're not
going to see a huge spike because it burned through
(14:05):
the city so quickly and so viciously that there's a
lot of built up immunity, and that the most susceptible
people to COVID, many of them, a large number of
them already got it, and many of them tragically already
died from it. So I don't think it's going to happen.
And you know, and we're going to test this out.
They're gonna say it's because of masking. We masked during
(14:27):
the shutdown in March and April, and the virus was
still ripping through the city, ripping through the tri state
area here. So we'll test that out. I'll return to that.
What is Biden? What does he say? I mean, he
keeps talking about how Trump is somehow responsible for the
virus and for the shutdowns, and Biden saying he's gonna
(14:48):
make things better, but he's gonna make things better by
shutting us down. So it doesn't make any sense. There's
there's an incoherence to the Democrat position on all of this.
And really all they have to say is mask, mask, mask.
And I remember when just a few months ago, all
(15:09):
they had to say was testing, testing, testing, Remember that
with Nancy PLESI testing, he got a tested trace, and
a lot of us said we'll hold on. When a
virus has gotten to this level of spread already in society,
you you know you're not going to be able to
trace it at all. And when you're testing a lot,
(15:31):
you're just going to end up finding a lot of
low level on important cases because you're not just testing
people to go to the hospital. Now you're going to
test all over the place. Somebody has a sniffle, all
I got to go to the corner and get a
COVID test. Remember when testing was supposed to be the
thing that saved us from this. Now we test all
the time, now it's masks. It was washing hands in
the beginning. You remember that that there was a time
I have not forgotten when the exhortations for the public
(15:54):
to wash their hands were the single loudest thing that
was being said by Fauci and the gang in the
early day. They believe it. That was really how we
were getting it. It wasn't even airborne or aerosol eyes.
That's the way that we have now come to believe
it is. Biden wants you masking up all the time
plate twelve two twenty thousand Americans dead. You hear nothing
(16:17):
else I say tonight. Hear this. Anyone who is responsible
for not taking control in fact not saying I take
no responsibility initially. Anyone who's responsible for that many deaths
should not remain as president of the United States of America.
We're in a situation where there are a thousand deaths
a day now, a thousand deaths a day, and they're
(16:38):
over seventy thousand new cases per day compared to what's
going on in Europe. As the New England Medical Journal said,
they're starting from a very low rate. We're starting from
a very high rate. The expectation is We'll have another
two hundred thousand Americans dead be time between now and
(16:59):
the end of the year if he just wore these masks.
President's own advisors are told them, we could say one
hundred thousand lives. And we're in a circumstance for the
president thus far and still has no plan, no comprehensive plan.
What I would do is make sure we have everyone
encouraged to wear a mask all the time. That's their plan,
(17:21):
yell at everybody to wear masks, masks shaming. They think
that will stop this. This is delusional. The data does
not support this. Even if masking works at some level,
and I'm sure it does help at some level, for sure.
I mean I believe that it does. But to stop this, no,
I mean, who knows ten twenty percent reduction in cases
(17:43):
over a period of over a period of time, but
it's not even clear that that reduction protects those you
know that that those people don't get infected just outside
the time frame you're looking at for the study, You're
essentially delaying the spread of a virus that is spreading
all throughout the population. But mask up all the time.
That's the Biden plan. You're in the freedom Hunt. This
(18:04):
is the best of Buck Daily podcasts, the tough stories
of the day from the Buck Sexton Show. Healthcare is
the area where Democrats think they have the biggest advantage
over Republicans. In fact, I've spoken to Democrats, including people
who are campaign consultants and other folks I know from
inside the swampy Beltway in DC, and they will tell
(18:26):
you that it was largely healthcare they believe and public
perception about healthcare that led them to a pretty substantial
victory in the midterm elections for the House. That was
the favorite, the favorite issue for those consultants to get
Democrats elected. And part of the issue that we have
to keep dealing with here is that Democrats have two
(18:47):
things going for them fear and short term versus long
term when it comes to healthcare. Fear of course, that
everyone is going to be thrown up. You know, everyone's
going to get pre existing conditions, and that they won't
have coverage if they don't have Obamacare. The world's falling apart?
Is this all nonsense? Does anyone really feel like the
country's markedly different since the passage of Obamacare when it
comes to healthcare, You've got more people on Medicaid a
(19:10):
lot more millions more. Okay, fine, that's a welfare program.
And you have an individual market with a lot of
high deductible, pretty small network, crappy healthcare plans, and that's it.
And an individual mandate that's supposed to financially buttress this
whole thing. But that's not been taken away by the
(19:31):
Trump administration. No, I understand, this is not you know,
we'll talk about the Borat movie and Giuliani and stuff
later to get a little more spice into the show,
because I know this this can feel a little bit
like schoolroom stuff. But this matters, matters to you, matters
to me. I mean, producer, Mark and I are about
to be choosing our healthcare plans here coming up. I'm
sure other people are in that. What do they call it?
When you're doing that, you're choosing the healthcare the period
(19:54):
open enrollment, Thank you, thank you, open enrollment. You know
we're going to open enrollment. And you look at these plans.
Somehow it feels like every year plan gets more expensive,
healthcare options get worse. And I don't mean that for
any particular company. I just mean every year, though. Those
are the mandates that you see with Obamacare. Those are
the mandates you see from the government. Right, It's somehow
(20:15):
healthcare keeps getting more expensive and your access to healthcare
is in many ways getting worse. Why is that going on? Well,
it's because when when Joe Biden talks about the market,
he doesn't really understand what a real market is. A
market is individuals making choices based upon price. Right, that's
how market. Actually. You provide services and people consume services,
(20:39):
and it's the free exchange thereof, with price as the
signal for what they want to do what they don't
want to do. We like to try to pretend that
there should be no price in any of this, that
you just get whatever you get. But that fails. And
when I say we, I mean the Democrats and the
people that are pushing this. That fails to take into
account that it is, in fact the case that health
(21:00):
care is a limited good. Now, that doesn't mean we
can't provide some form of healthcare from everyone. We obviously
have emergency rooms where you must treat people no matter what.
But not everybody's going to get to see the most
reputable heart surgeon in the world. That's just there's just
not enough, not everyone's going to get to see the
you know, the top lasic eye surgery doctor or whatever.
(21:22):
Just not going to happen. Right. There are market forces
at work in this, and what the government keeps doing
is saying, let's just subsidize things more. Let's make more
decisions for people and then subsidize it more taxpayer dollars.
That's not a market, that's the government. That's central planning.
This is the central failure of socialism at work. So
(21:43):
that's what they are doing. And when they talk about
setting up a public option that will essentially turn into
Medicaid on steroids, right, why isn't medicaid sufficient? Right now?
Why is it everyone saying, well, you know, it's well,
you have to only make a certain income to qualify
for Medicaid, but the people on Medicaid generally don't have
very good health outcomes. Why is that? Well, because for
(22:04):
the program to even be a little bit solvent, and
it's the main drag on state budgets in places like
New York and New Jersey and Illinois, Medicaid public sector pensions,
that's why people's property taxes keep going of those are
the drags on state budgets Medicaid I think, in the
case of New York is by far the biggest one.
(22:25):
All right, well, then, why medicaid is very expensive to
the state, to the taxpayer, but doesn't have very good outcomes.
Why is that? Well, because they even at the level
that they're currently providing Medicaid services, they have a lot
of doctors that won't take it, and in fact, Medicare
doesn't even I know, people love Medicare who have it,
and it's a very popular program, but it's because what
(22:47):
it effectively does is it's a intergenerational subsidy where the
future generations have to pay a tab currently being run
up by people getting Medicare. People don't like to hear that,
but that's true. That's why you pay. You take out
twice what the average person I should say, takes out
of Medicare, twice what they pay into it. It's also
why we have now a twenty five trillion dollars debt.
(23:09):
I mean, I've been sure with it. I gotta check
what the debt is right now. But you see, all
of these are just ways of moving around money that
comes from the taxpayer and not actually dealing with the
real challenge here, The real issue, which is that unless
you have real competence. Oh, I'm sorry, twenty seven trillion dollars.
(23:32):
That's right. We've got the three three trillion extra this year.
It has to be factored into the spending eighty two
thousand dollars per US citizen right now, two hundred and
seventeen thousand dollars per taxpayer. That's where we are. The
music's gonna stop, and there aren't going to be enough chairs.
But I we'll have that conversation another day. No one
(23:52):
really cares to hear that stuff anymore, so we'll just
we'll just wait till the currency is worthless. Hey, then
we'll figure it out. Good good stuff. So the public
option will create just like Obamacare was the beginning of
the push for Medicare for all, the public option becomes
a push for single pair because you'll see people will say, Okay,
(24:15):
why wouldn't everybody just want to take the public option
healthcare plan? Well, because they're gonna be all kinds of
restrictions on it. Otherwise it's very very expensive, right, So
they're gonna put all these restrictions, which means that you're
not going to have great doctor networks, and people aren't
really gonna like the plan. It's not going to cover
that much. And remember, health insurance isn't really insurance as
(24:36):
we have it. It's subsidies. It's all these cross subsidies.
You don't have a health insurance so that if you
have a heart attack and you have to have a
stent put in all this stuff. You know, you don't
get a three hundred thousan dollars bill. That's part of it.
But for most people, health insurance is Okay, I'm gonna
go to you know, I'm gonna go to my eant
doc and I want to pay twenty dollars or I
want to pay fifty dollars copay and that's it. Okay,
(24:59):
Well the doc is arging your health insurer three four
or five hundred bucks. So these are all just machines
for redistributing money to people. And there's a lot of
politics involved in all this. You create a public option,
and what happens is that the public option people get
put onto it, and then there's all this political pressure
(25:19):
for the public option get more and more subsidy so
that the plan can be better and better for the
people who are on it, and eventually you'll just start
to say, okay, well why should why should a private insurer,
or rather, why should a private business insure its employees
just go get the public option? And the public option
is not that good. But now you have more and
more people on it, So what do they do. They
use their power at the ballot box to start saying, yeah,
(25:41):
but we're going to take more of your money to
make this a better option for us. Then private insurers
start to say we can compete with this, this is crazy,
and yes, then you get to single pair and that's
how it works the same way we told you that
Obamacare was going to be a stepping stone to Medicare
for all, which we all know now is true. Oh
and that they were planning all along on giving Obama
Care to illegal aliens. Remember that on the debate stage
(26:03):
or in the Democrat primary, all those hands went up.
It turned out we were right about that. I'm telling
you right now, a public option. It is feasible to
work at a public option where this wouldn't be the case.
But why would Democrats want to do that? Because that
would require telling people who have the public option, sorry,
this is the best you can get, right, and this
is the best you're going to get. This is the
(26:23):
best we can do while being fiscally responsible. Democrats are
going to say that, they're gonna say, oh, you're right,
we got to cover everything. We got to cover your
yoga lessons too, So let's just jack up property taxes
on people. That's the way it's gonna work, folks. Then
there's immigration, and this was interesting as well because it
(26:44):
showed one that Joe Biden continues to repeat the original
lies around the asylum at the border issue. You know,
I went to the border multiple times, as you know
if you've been listened me for a while, to spend
time doing right along with Border Patrol, meeting with CBP,
talk to people at the top level. We've had We've
had Ice and CBP and DHS chiefs on this show
(27:05):
many times. It's a really important issue, and it's one
that I find critical to the future of the country.
And I just also think it's intellectually and politically fascinating.
And here's the short version, in case you've forgotten, the
asylum waves that were hitting the country about two years
you know, a little over two years ago now, that
(27:28):
was largely based on a loophole that had to do
with people claiming that they were fleeing violence, when really
they were just fleeing a country with a crappy economy
where they didn't want to still be. And they realized
that if they came with a child, then they would
go into a different part of the system and would
immediately be released in the United States. And what people
(27:49):
like me were saying at the time was they're not
going to show up for their hearings, and this became
the big debate, and all the libs disingenuously. I think
many of them kind of knew. They were laughing behind
closed or they're sayings, oh no, they'll all show up
for their hearings. Why why show up for a hearing
when then you're running the risk of being denied asylum,
(28:09):
when you've already been released into the United States, and
there's you're very low especially if you're a mother with
a child, you're a very low deportation priority, so you're good.
So it was just an open door for people to
come into the country. And that's why you had as
I remember, border patrol told me a thirty four year
old pretending that he was seventeen. Because it also was
a different program for minors. So there are all these
(28:31):
scams and the cartels were making hundreds of millions of
dollars helping people with these scams, and they were doing
this through individuals referred to as coyotes, were the human
traffickers in this whole process. And the different plazzas, which
is what the cartels call the areas along the southern
border where they control and they break them up and
(28:51):
it's it's their turf, right, that's they make the money
for people to come to the border there, and the
cartels would use these coyotes, a lot of money going
through people's hands. It was fascinating last night to see
just how many dumbass blue checks think that coyote is
a disparaging term for immigrants who are coming to the border.
(29:14):
They were and these are people. I mean, what's the
guy went to? Uh? I think he's a Harvard student now.
David Hogg, the the guy who became the anti gun
activist when but he was seventeen, so you couldn't criticize him.
And he would go around calling people blood soaked terrorists.
But if you said anything, then they need to boycott.
You're attacking children. Notice how the libs love to do this.
They did this with Gretteth Thunberg. Yeah, let's have a
(29:36):
very odd sixteen year old lecturing us. Now she's eighteen,
so game on, right, we can fight, we can argue
she's an adult. Right? Is that are those the rules?
Or no? We can you criticize people in their eighteen
that to be twenty one. I just want to know
they want people to be able to vote. Libs want
to be people to be able to vote at sixteen.
But I guess you can't criticize their politics until they're eighteen,
(29:58):
twenty four, twenty eight, I don't. Oh, you can be
on your parents insurance until you're twenty six with Obamacare, right,
So maybe that's the new rule. I'm not sure. Of course,
the rule changes depending on what Democrats need in the moment.
But that guy hog who's just he had this whole
thing about how coyotes was a terrible thing to say
(30:19):
about people bringing their children the border. It's like, the
coyotes are the cartel employees doing the human trafficking, You
utter morons. Blue checks all over the internet last night. Coyote,
Oh my gosh, coyote is like a It's like a
racially disparaging term. No, no, no is the term everybody
uses for human traffickers, which is a criminal act. And
(30:44):
these are the kind of human traffickers when they work
for the cartels, who will you know, they'll leave people
in a really dangerous situation. They'll leave people to die
out in the desert if they can't keep up right.
I mean, that's what happens. It's not good people. The
coyotes are bad guys. But just as when Trump calls
MS thirteen animals, you know, they say, oh my gosh,
you mean those gang members who rape and mutilate and
(31:06):
murder people for sport. Trump called them animals. How dare he?
The Libs don't care. Whatever works for them, whatever works
to attack the president in the moment. But there was
there was something worthwhile about this, this exchange on immigration
last night, because Biden said path, path to citizenship. It's amnesty, folks,
(31:26):
He's telling you it's amnesty. This is the biggest single
thing the Democrats are going to try to accomplish. It
is the top priority for them. They want amnesty, absolutely,
they want amnesty for illegals in this country because that's
when we'll also find out, oh my gosh, suddenly it'll
be Oh, we had no idea. We said it was
(31:46):
eleven point seven million people in the country legally, turns
out it's more like twenty to twenty five. Oh yeah,
get ready for that too. But they oh yeah, the
government that the government that has the geniuses at the
FBI who thought that Carter Page was a Russian spy
and set up a fize on him. That government really
(32:07):
knows how many illegals have come into the country over
the last twenty years, right, sure, sure they do. That's
why they fight at every turn trying to trying to
count count the illegals properly. They don't want that to
be known. You would think they would want it to
be known, but no, they don't like that data to
be kept. So amnesty is for real. And then there
was the kids in cages line, which the Democrats love
(32:29):
to bring this up. Well, Trump had something to say
about that. Play clip nine. These five hundred plus kids
came with parents. They separated him at the border to
make it a disincentive to come to begin with. They
real tough, We're really strong, and guess what they cannot
(32:49):
it is not coyotes didn't bring them over their parents
were with them. They got separated from their parents, and
it makes us a laughing stock and violates every notion
of who we are as a nation. Let me ask
you first, they did it. We changed the policy. We
did not. They built the cages. They who built the cage.
(33:11):
Let's talk about who built the cages. To talk about
what we're talking about. What happened. Parents were ripped, their
kids were ripped from their arms and separated, and now
they cannot find over five hundreds of sets of those
parents and those kids are alone, nowhere to go, nowhere
to go. It's criminal. Who built the cages, if you
(33:33):
want to know. The Obama administration built the cages, and
they're really just fenced in areas. And I've seen those.
I've been to those fenced in areas. I've seen those
fenced in areas. And they are also temporary holding facilities
where people usually would be processed within twenty four hours.
They were They are depressing, they are not nice. I'm
(33:54):
not I'm not negating that in any way. Have people
tended to be in them for a day maybe two,
and then they were released into the interior of the
United States after being processed by ice. That's what was happening.
The whole thing was a scam. By the way, these
people were not fleeing violence. They were being trained by
the coyotes who were bringing them to the border. By
doesn't know what the heck he's talking about. It doesn't matter.
(34:15):
People just want to hear what they want to hear,
especially Democrats. Thanks for listening to the Best of Buck
Daily podcast. For more Buck head to buck Sexton dot
com and remember to subscribe to the podcast. Now let's
dive into what really is going to matter from the debate.
If anything not clear, I mean you'll never really be
able to know. People talk about moving the needle and
(34:37):
knockout punches and all these look it's impossible to avoid
the cliches, and I'm not gonna lie to you. People
that do this for a living and you analyze these things,
you try to come up with new ways of saying it.
But there's a reason why we end up sounding like
each other a lot on this. There's only so much
you can say about a debate in terms of the
analogies and stuff. But here's what I think is gonna matter.
(34:58):
Pennsylvania is a state where fossil fuels oil fracking matters
a lot, still a part of the industry there, and
Pennsylvania is a critical state for whichever candidates going to
end up being president of the United States. And Biden's
got a problem here because that's gonna be a little
bit like when Hillary Clinton went to West Virginia and
(35:21):
she and she said, well, if you work in the
coal industry, getting your job something like that. It was
something along those lines that she said. She basically told
people that they were on their own if you work
in the coal industry, we're gonna have to, you know,
learn to code or train you in something else. That
did not go over well for Hillary in West Virginia,
(35:42):
as you may recall, or in the rest of the campaign,
because then she tried to walk it back and you know,
a moment of honesty that would haunt her. And of
course any real moment of honesty haunts a Clinton. They
hate that. It's like garlic for a vampire. But last
night Trump with Biden had this exchange about fracking and
(36:03):
oil play sixteen and what about Frakie. All right, let
me Dent never said I opposed fraki You said its tape.
I did show the tape put it on your website.
Put it on. Put it on the website. Okay, ask
(36:23):
and ye shall receive. Joe Biden Trump did, in fact
put it on the website. You want to hear whether
whether Joe Biden has a problem with fracking or not.
He said, girl, let's see what you got, buddy, give
me your best shot. This is like the guy that
says giving your best shot and then he gets knocked
out cold in the bar from the guy who gives
him his best shot. Play seventeen. Would there be any
(36:48):
place for fossil fuels, including coal and fracking in a
Biden administration. No, we would. We would work it out.
We would make sure it's eliminated and no more subsidies
either one of those. I guarantee you We're gonna in
fossil fuel, no more, no new gradually move away from fracking.
And I think it's critically important on day one that
(37:10):
we end any fossil fuel leases on public LANs. They
want to do the same thing I wouldn't do. They
want to phase out fossil fuels, and we're going to
phase out fossils. There's no question I'm in favor of
banning frack now. It's it's hard to really cover this
(37:31):
without going very very deep into the details. Um, but
this is a this is a religious belief for the left.
I mean not just the climate change issue, which we'll
get to, but specifically fracking. I mean they really think
that fracking is is evil and in reality, fracking is
(37:53):
the reason that the United States in many ways has
been in such a place of unparalleled energy and economic
dominance for the last ten or fifteen years. It was
hugely helpful to us after the financial downturn. And the
technology has been around since the nineteen forties. Right. You
inject liquid ninety nine percent water and sand a tiny
(38:14):
amount of lubricant chemicals into shale formations. Right. That creates
small fractures, which allows the extraction of oil or natural
gas from the sites where the oil derric and well
had been removed. But there's been an expanded utilization of this.
You get more than ninety percent. Okay, listen to me
on this one. Ninety percent of American oil and gas
(38:35):
wells currently in use are hydraulically hyd fractured, and America
is now a global energy superpower because of it. Now,
this is so notworthy in many ways because It reminds
me the discussion we're having now about experts and science.
(38:55):
Remember all the talk about peak oil. We used to
be told that we were going to reach peak oil,
you know, in the run around now Actually, I mean
we were worried about peak oil stretching back for decades,
and geopolitical strategists became obsessed with this in America, and
we in fact even made national security decisions based upon
(39:16):
our access to oil because we were so worried we
were going to run out. But that meant that we
cared too much about Middle Eastern dictatorships and the whole
Mideast region. Why don't we find ourselves there because of
the energy Because what it did in the global energy markets?
What was Iran's big trump card pardon the phrase, so
(39:36):
to speak, When we started to have more and more
problems with well, we've had problems with since nineteen seventy nine,
but when things started to ratchet up in recent years,
it was always they could shut down the straits of
horror moves, shut down the global energy market. Twenty five
percent of oil goes through the straits straights of horror moves,
so that was gonna be a big problem. Oil was
(39:57):
over one hundred dollars of barrel my friends in twenty eleven.
Go back ten years. This technology has been incredible, but
people absolutely love on the left. They love to treat
it like it's some kind of a monster. And Biden
can't get away with it. Biden can't bring himself to say,
(40:18):
you know what, this whole anti oil thing that we've
got is lunacy. The cheap price of energy and the
fracking that allows that to be the case, and the
domestic supply that we now have results in cheaper, better,
faster everything in the economy around you. The room you
(40:39):
are in is better climate controlled, the food that you
were eating is more efficiently grown and brought to you
and stored. All of this because of fossil fuels. This
obsession with solar and windmills is lunacy. Democrat party is
(41:01):
absolutely devoted to it, and they just don't care. In fact,
Joe Biden starts out, now, this is the thing you
have to say. Climate change is an existential threat. It
is absolutely not an existential threat. And it's a silly,
embarrassing thing to say, but that's now a thing that
you must say to be a Democrat who's in good
(41:22):
standing with his own side, you're not allowed to say
anything else about it. In fact that they'll laugh at you,
they'll think there's something wrong with you. And then that
brings me to my problem with the question last night
about not just a question about that. The climate change
in these debates is always a segment unto itself. It's
always a section we're going to have a part of
(41:42):
the debate on climate change. Why? Why this is dumb?
This is dumb? And I know people, oh my gosh,
you're such a yeah, who wants to place bets? That's
I think the only way that we can start to
really we can start to really see people stop this
nonsense is if we created an exchange where you could
(42:03):
place bets. The climate catastrophist can say, what's going to happen?
You know? So, for example, the movie An Inconvenient Truth,
you look at Florida underwater by the year twenty thirty.
All right, I'll put I'll put you know, ten grand
right now on Florida's not going to be underwater in
ten years. Who wants to take that bet? Right? That
would be that would be the only way that you'd
(42:26):
start to see people have to back off this nonsense
where they were demonstrably wrong and suffer for being wrong.
Because what you have now is they're wrong every ten years,
but every ten years they changed their prediction for the
next ten years. And that's what we're supposed to focus on. Oh,
we didn't get it right the last time, but we'll
get it right this time. And this extends even to
COVID and too, the COVID lockdowns. But you've got you've
(42:49):
got Trump pointing out that Fauci is a guy who
we're supposed to listen to about everything. This guy's been
wrong tons of times. This is from the debate last
Right Play eleven. This week, you called doctor Anthony Fauci,
the nation's best known infectious disease expert, quote a disaster.
You described him and other medical experts as quote idiots.
(43:10):
If you're not listening to them, who are you listening
to them? That I'm listening to all of them, including Anthony.
I get along very well with Anthony. But he did
say don't wear masks. He did say, as you know,
this is not going to be a problem. I think
he's a Democrat, but that's okay. He said, this is
not going to be a problem. We are not going
to have a problem at all. When Joe says that,
(43:32):
I said, Anthony Fauci said, and to others and many others,
And I'm not knocking him a lot. Nobody knew. Look,
nobody knew what this thing was. Nobody knew where it
was coming from. What it was, We've learned a lot.
But Anthony said, don't wear masks. Now he wants to
wear masks. Anthony also said, if you look back exact words,
here's his exact or this is no problem. This is
(43:52):
going to go away soon. So he's allowed to make mistakes.
He happens to be a good person. Why is it
such a problem to point out that Fauci has been
wrong many times during this Isn't that just speaking truth?
The guy's been wrong a lot. A lot of people
have been wrong a lot. But here's the point. Fauci
is given a dispensation from the lib media because he's
(44:14):
a catastrophist and he just always gives you the most
negative interpretation and doesn't care. You know, the economic damage
that's going on in the country, the ruined lives, the
drug abuse. He's just you know, that's not as bad,
it's not as big a deal as this disease wear
a mask, right, This is all we ever hear from
this guy, and the Libs like it because he's a
(44:35):
useful He's a useful tool with which they can try
to bludgeon the Trump campaign, which is what they've been doing.
But he's been wrong, and they forgive him entirely. In fact,
they forbid you from even addressing the fact that he
has been wrong. Meanwhile, Trump, if he said back in March,
look I think it's gonna fade out by the summer,
(44:57):
or look I think we're gonna beat this thing soon,
or whatever Trumpian thing he said, he's a mass murderer
because of that. So Fauci, who's an infectious disease expert,
can tell everybody and be given this unbelievable authority to
basically make policy for the whole country. He could say,
don't wear a mask, and all the people that didn't
wear masks because of that, that's all forgiven and forgotten.
(45:18):
But Trump says, I think this is gonna go away,
don't worry about it that much. And he's a monster
and a murderer. That's why this matters, because they have
no standard that they're applying Fauci is great. Trump is
awful based on what based on Orange Man bad

Welcome friends, day after the final debate, Welcome to the
Buck Sexton Show. Great to be here with you. And
(00:22):
I got to tell you, things are a little bit
more tranquil than I think any of us would have
expected at this phase of this political race. Maybe the
left really did exhaust itself a little bit this summer
with the riots and the mayhem and the looting and
the arson and all the stuff that they were doing, right,
(00:43):
maybe they got that out of their systems. And you know,
I'm just gonna say it, it's not as fun to
break into a shoe store or go steal some designer
clothing in the name of social justice. When it's dropping
down into the fifties and then into the forties. You know,
when it's cold outside marching in the street, you know,
you need the marchers there to make it seem like
(01:05):
a mostly peaceful protest. Marches don't want to be cold.
They like it when it's seventy five with a gentle breeze.
That's when you really want to do the social justice stuff.
You don't want to do it when you got all
of a sudden start thinking about wearing submittance. So they
maybe got a little bit ahead of themselves, used a
(01:25):
little bit more of the energy then. But I also
have a new theory about this, which is that they
realize the Democrats have the word has gotten out. And
you saw this with the ACB hearings, You saw this
with the way they've been responding to Trump recently. They
can't act like total psychopaths right now, and they can suppress,
(01:47):
they can lie, they can do all the things they're
doing clearly the media in particular, but they're really the visceral, obvious,
viral video Biden supporter is acting like barbarians. That stuff
is not a good look in a general election. One
thing to get the base all fired up in the
(02:08):
election year, but it's not a good look for people
who actually want to win, those independent voters and that
small slice of the pie that's going to determine who's
the present for the next four years. So my theory
is this, they're lying in wait right now a little bit.
They're being a little bit more coy than perhaps we
had anticipated. But if Trump wins this election, and there's
(02:30):
already some early indicators this is the case, then the
insanity gets dialed all the way back up to eleven.
Then the insanity is unleashed that's been building up right
now because there are still all the left wing crazies
out there. They're just lying in wait. They've been told
by the people who write the pay checks for the
(02:50):
placards and the U hauls that deliver the social justice
materials and anti cop weaponry that shows up at these protests.
They've been told, hey, guys, we got a fool enough,
well intentioned people in a handful of battleground states so
that we can be in power and then you can
run wild and no one's gonna stop you. But for
(03:11):
right now, cool it, calm down. I think that's what
we're saying, because ACB hearings pretty quiet what we've seen
in response to Trump lately on the streets. At least,
I'm talking about the activism. I'm talking about the really
extreme actions that the left it was taking all summer.
I mean, from May June July August, this country was
(03:33):
in the grip of a left wing terror, and then
suddenly in September it started to fade out, and then
we get into October and all of a sudden, like
I said, it's colder, but they've realized they're not helping
their buddy Joe Biden. There's only so much he can
do to hide the actions of his base. If they're
going wild right before people are cast again, it's mean. No,
(03:55):
tens of millions have already voted. So that brings me
then to the actual debate last night. I don't want
to focus on the parts of it that I think
are the most important for all of us between now
and the actual election. Yes, Trump won, and I appreciated that.
When I said Trump won on Twitter, the President retweeted it.
So then, of course my timeline on Twitter was full
(04:17):
of all kinds of madness. But the President agrees with
me that I agree with others that he did win
that debate. And this was more of the Trump that
I had expected to show up at the first time around.
He was completely calm, cool and collected. He was in
control of the facts. He was in his way in
a Trump in a way, very presidential. He was a
(04:40):
guy that you feel like in the boardroom if you
had a dozen people gathered together in some fancy corporate
office having a big meeting, He's the guy that everybody's
going to be looking to and listening to. That's his demeanor,
that that's his and the two he is. Biden was
just kind of a feeble mess. I don't know what
(05:01):
else to say. Yeah, he was. I mean, he was
reasonably coherent with the usual talking points. There was nothing
particularly compelling about any of the stuff that he said.
We had really heard it all before, but seeing these
two candidates on stage, Trump just has much greater magnetism, charisma, vitality.
(05:22):
It's just not comparable. And if we weren't having this election,
and this was what really just ran through my mind
last night as I was watching it live, if we
weren't having this election in a bizarre year of COVID,
Trump would win every state he won in twenty sixteen,
plus three or four additional states. Definitely would would pick
(05:43):
up a New Hampshire. You know, Trump would win. I
think he'd have a shot at Minnesota. He would win
states that he didn't win the last time. But because
of COVID and what the country's going through, I've been correct.
I think we'll see. But my assessment all along is
this is going to be a very tight race. And yes,
the electoral college, no one can really guess exactly how
(06:05):
that's going to shake out. But we know that it's
going to be a small number of votes in a
small number of states that determined this thing. All the polls,
all the numbers show us that. So this is going
to be a fight to the finish. Was what Trump
did last night on stage enough to move the needle.
The truth is, no one will really ever know. He
did not get a knockout blow against Biden. There was
(06:27):
no moment you watched that and you said, oh, you know,
Biden's finished. And given what's happened with the Hunter Biden
revelations this week, I do think there was that possibility.
I think that there was a realistic chance that Biden
was going to get so tripped up and it was
going to be such a mess up there that it
would have cost him in the general in a way
(06:48):
that we could really, we could trace, we could go
from point A to point bad didn't happen. In fact,
one of the biggest surprises last night was that there
was not a single moment of real challenge to Biden
all the Hunter Biden stuff to Joe Biden on the
Hunter Biden stuff. He managed to skate past it. Now,
(07:10):
I don't want to spend much time talking about the moderator.
If you read my Twitter timeline, you'll see how I feel.
I thought she was fine. She was fine for fifteen minutes,
and then for the next fifteen minutes it started to
get a little bit wait, why are you only interrupting Trump?
And she really did only interrupt Trump. I think there
were two or three interruptions of Biden answers the whole night.
And then and then she asked some questions that I
(07:32):
found really distasteful and biased, Like I forgot that what
exactly the verbiage was. But you know, hey, Trump, you're
a racist, right, so why are you a racist? Or
why are you not one? And then the climate change question,
which I'll get to that in a bit. This is
just journals have to do this to prove how smart
and serious they are. They have to ask about climate change,
which if you even look at the polling year in
(07:52):
and year out, it's like the twentieth most important issue
to the American people overall. When they list out all
these issues. I mean it's really you know, a minor.
It starts to get up there with like the eliminating
the carried interest loophole or something. I mean, yeah, some
people care. But anyway, so there was no knockout blow
against Biden. There was one moment where I think he
(08:15):
created a real vulnerability for himself, and that has to
do with oil and we'll get to that. But I
just I saw last night as an opportunity for people
to get one more glimpse of really what we already
know about these two guys, who they are. Donald Trump
is not a politician. Sometimes he can be a little
bit unpredictable, to put it mildly, and he has his
(08:38):
own way of doing things. But the guy is a
fierce fighter. He's got a tremendous amount of leadership quality
and a tremendous amount of magnetism, you know, personal charisma.
And he's done a good job for four years. They
can say that he's been awful on COVID all day walk,
(08:59):
but those are just talking points. He's done a good job.
Joe Biden is essentially the classic, I mean the quintessential,
completely replaceable and uh, you know, duplicative Democrat politician Joe
Biden reminds me of a whole bunch of other guys.
I mean, you know, you could you could switch out
Joe Biden with Senator Murphy from Connecticut or you know Bloomenthal,
(09:24):
I mean two Connecticut guys up there. You know, you
switch out Joe Biden with any number of you know,
but the only difference is Biden's been the game much
much longer. But just another Democrat, nothing special, nothing powerful,
and has that whole old school you know. Hey, you know,
I'm just I'm just your friend sitting at your kitchen table,
and I'm from Delaware. And sometimes my voice starts to
(09:47):
almost get a little folks see, like I'm maybe from
the South, but I'm I'm really from Delaware. Man, hey, man,
you know, and I kind of throw in these phrases
to make it seem like I'm just one of the people.
And you know, it's it's also staged and phony, and
it's worked for this guy though for a long time.
There's a reason why cliches are cliches. It's because people
(10:10):
use them because they offered work and they're useful. But
that's what you got last night with Joe Biden. I mean,
there's nothing, there's no vision, there's no there's no reason
to vote for Joe Biden other than he's a Democrat
who is not Donald Trump. So that's it. I mean,
that was the choice you saw on stage last night.
(10:31):
Now let's dive into who threw a punch, wear on
what how much it mattered. Thanks for listening to the
Best of Buck Daily podcast. To get more from Buck
by following him on social media at Buck Sexton on Facebook, Twitter,
and Instagram, and don't forget to visit buck Sexton dot com. Look,
all he does is talk about shutdowns, but forget about him.
(10:53):
His Democrat Governor's Cuomo in New York. You look at
what's going on in California, you look at Pennsylvania, North
Carolina Democrats, Democrats all they're shutdown so tight, and they're dying.
They're dying, and he supports all these people. All he
talks about is shutdowns. No, we're not going to shut down,
and we have to open our schools. We do have
(11:14):
to open our schools. Trump's right about that. The science
backs him up on that. Democrats have allowed schools to
remain shutdown, have made sure, have demanded that schools stay
shut down because they think it's in their political interests.
But I think this is one of the strongest areas
for Trump last night, and as you know, I'm I
don't care when anybody what the polls say or anything else.
(11:36):
Shutdowns and the restoration of normal life from this COVID
new normal they're trying to enforce on us of being
scared of each other, separate from each other, masking up
all the time. This is the most important issue in
the country right now. Barnun and Biden try the usual
last night of blaming Trump for everything that's happened during COVID.
(11:58):
He tried the usual two hundred thousand deaths, our Trump's responsibility,
how many deaths would there be if Joe Biden was
in charge? And what would be acceptable? This issue has
just been so ripe for demagoguery along and Democrats have
exploited it at every opportunity. That has been their approach,
(12:18):
which I know is completely unsurprising, but we should at
least see this for what it is. The President listened
to the experts, he did what they wanted him to
do at every phase, and he's now allowed the States
to deal with this in a state by state fashion,
which is in keeping with common sense and with the law.
Mind you, a lot of places are using what are
(12:40):
effectively police powers to create us. They've got a state
of emergency, and they're using police powers under the state
of emergency to quarantine an entire population at different levels.
And it's kind of a few layers all coming together.
That's not something the federal government should do. Think about
what the Democrats are really are arguing for here. Why
(13:02):
should Montana, where I was for a bit this summer
in August, why should Montana have the same policies about
COVID that New York City has? That makes no sense whatsoever.
But then again, you take this a little bit further.
You can say, why should twenty five year olds have
the same approach to COVID as seventy five year olds?
That also makes no sense. And people say, oh, but
(13:23):
the twenty five year olds give it to the seventy. No,
you know, if you're going to be in contact, it
is in fact, entirely possible for people to live much
of their life without being in direct sustained contact with
people who are at high risk. That is very possible.
But Trump made his case on this last night, and
it was what we needed to hear. He said, this
is what I've done, This is where we're going. We
(13:44):
got vaccines coming, We're putting out the fires one by
one as they come up with the increase in cases. Now,
I'm going to continue to make this argument, but you know,
New York has still very low cases and the only
thing that makes sense to me, and it doesn't mean
we're not gonna have any more cases. Of course, we
have cases day in and day out, but we're not
going to see a huge spike because it burned through
(14:05):
the city so quickly and so viciously that there's a
lot of built up immunity, and that the most susceptible
people to COVID, many of them, a large number of
them already got it, and many of them tragically already
died from it. So I don't think it's going to happen.
And you know, and we're going to test this out.
They're gonna say it's because of masking. We masked during
(14:27):
the shutdown in March and April, and the virus was
still ripping through the city, ripping through the tri state
area here. So we'll test that out. I'll return to that.
What is Biden? What does he say? I mean, he
keeps talking about how Trump is somehow responsible for the
virus and for the shutdowns, and Biden saying he's gonna
(14:48):
make things better, but he's gonna make things better by
shutting us down. So it doesn't make any sense. There's
there's an incoherence to the Democrat position on all of this.
And really all they have to say is mask, mask, mask.
And I remember when just a few months ago, all
(15:09):
they had to say was testing, testing, testing, Remember that
with Nancy PLESI testing, he got a tested trace, and
a lot of us said we'll hold on. When a
virus has gotten to this level of spread already in society,
you you know you're not going to be able to
trace it at all. And when you're testing a lot,
(15:31):
you're just going to end up finding a lot of
low level on important cases because you're not just testing
people to go to the hospital. Now you're going to
test all over the place. Somebody has a sniffle, all
I got to go to the corner and get a
COVID test. Remember when testing was supposed to be the
thing that saved us from this. Now we test all
the time, now it's masks. It was washing hands in
the beginning. You remember that that there was a time
I have not forgotten when the exhortations for the public
(15:54):
to wash their hands were the single loudest thing that
was being said by Fauci and the gang in the
early day. They believe it. That was really how we
were getting it. It wasn't even airborne or aerosol eyes.
That's the way that we have now come to believe
it is. Biden wants you masking up all the time
plate twelve two twenty thousand Americans dead. You hear nothing
(16:17):
else I say tonight. Hear this. Anyone who is responsible
for not taking control in fact not saying I take
no responsibility initially. Anyone who's responsible for that many deaths
should not remain as president of the United States of America.
We're in a situation where there are a thousand deaths
a day now, a thousand deaths a day, and they're
(16:38):
over seventy thousand new cases per day compared to what's
going on in Europe. As the New England Medical Journal said,
they're starting from a very low rate. We're starting from
a very high rate. The expectation is We'll have another
two hundred thousand Americans dead be time between now and
(16:59):
the end of the year if he just wore these masks.
President's own advisors are told them, we could say one
hundred thousand lives. And we're in a circumstance for the
president thus far and still has no plan, no comprehensive plan.
What I would do is make sure we have everyone
encouraged to wear a mask all the time. That's their plan,
(17:21):
yell at everybody to wear masks, masks shaming. They think
that will stop this. This is delusional. The data does
not support this. Even if masking works at some level,
and I'm sure it does help at some level, for sure.
I mean I believe that it does. But to stop this, no,
I mean, who knows ten twenty percent reduction in cases
(17:43):
over a period of over a period of time, but
it's not even clear that that reduction protects those you
know that that those people don't get infected just outside
the time frame you're looking at for the study, You're
essentially delaying the spread of a virus that is spreading
all throughout the population. But mask up all the time.
That's the Biden plan. You're in the freedom Hunt. This
(18:04):
is the best of Buck Daily podcasts, the tough stories
of the day from the Buck Sexton Show. Healthcare is
the area where Democrats think they have the biggest advantage
over Republicans. In fact, I've spoken to Democrats, including people
who are campaign consultants and other folks I know from
inside the swampy Beltway in DC, and they will tell
(18:26):
you that it was largely healthcare they believe and public
perception about healthcare that led them to a pretty substantial
victory in the midterm elections for the House. That was
the favorite, the favorite issue for those consultants to get
Democrats elected. And part of the issue that we have
to keep dealing with here is that Democrats have two
(18:47):
things going for them fear and short term versus long
term when it comes to healthcare. Fear of course, that
everyone is going to be thrown up. You know, everyone's
going to get pre existing conditions, and that they won't
have coverage if they don't have Obamacare. The world's falling apart?
Is this all nonsense? Does anyone really feel like the
country's markedly different since the passage of Obamacare when it
comes to healthcare, You've got more people on Medicaid a
(19:10):
lot more millions more. Okay, fine, that's a welfare program.
And you have an individual market with a lot of
high deductible, pretty small network, crappy healthcare plans, and that's it.
And an individual mandate that's supposed to financially buttress this
whole thing. But that's not been taken away by the
(19:31):
Trump administration. No, I understand, this is not you know,
we'll talk about the Borat movie and Giuliani and stuff
later to get a little more spice into the show,
because I know this this can feel a little bit
like schoolroom stuff. But this matters, matters to you, matters
to me. I mean, producer, Mark and I are about
to be choosing our healthcare plans here coming up. I'm
sure other people are in that. What do they call it?
When you're doing that, you're choosing the healthcare the period
(19:54):
open enrollment, Thank you, thank you, open enrollment. You know
we're going to open enrollment. And you look at these plans.
Somehow it feels like every year plan gets more expensive,
healthcare options get worse. And I don't mean that for
any particular company. I just mean every year, though. Those
are the mandates that you see with Obamacare. Those are
the mandates you see from the government. Right, It's somehow
(20:15):
healthcare keeps getting more expensive and your access to healthcare
is in many ways getting worse. Why is that going on? Well,
it's because when when Joe Biden talks about the market,
he doesn't really understand what a real market is. A
market is individuals making choices based upon price. Right, that's
how market. Actually. You provide services and people consume services,
(20:39):
and it's the free exchange thereof, with price as the
signal for what they want to do what they don't
want to do. We like to try to pretend that
there should be no price in any of this, that
you just get whatever you get. But that fails. And
when I say we, I mean the Democrats and the
people that are pushing this. That fails to take into
account that it is, in fact the case that health
(21:00):
care is a limited good. Now, that doesn't mean we
can't provide some form of healthcare from everyone. We obviously
have emergency rooms where you must treat people no matter what.
But not everybody's going to get to see the most
reputable heart surgeon in the world. That's just there's just
not enough, not everyone's going to get to see the
you know, the top lasic eye surgery doctor or whatever.
(21:22):
Just not going to happen. Right. There are market forces
at work in this, and what the government keeps doing
is saying, let's just subsidize things more. Let's make more
decisions for people and then subsidize it more taxpayer dollars.
That's not a market, that's the government. That's central planning.
This is the central failure of socialism at work. So
(21:43):
that's what they are doing. And when they talk about
setting up a public option that will essentially turn into
Medicaid on steroids, right, why isn't medicaid sufficient? Right now?
Why is it everyone saying, well, you know, it's well,
you have to only make a certain income to qualify
for Medicaid, but the people on Medicaid generally don't have
very good health outcomes. Why is that? Well, because for
(22:04):
the program to even be a little bit solvent, and
it's the main drag on state budgets in places like
New York and New Jersey and Illinois, Medicaid public sector pensions,
that's why people's property taxes keep going of those are
the drags on state budgets Medicaid I think, in the
case of New York is by far the biggest one.
(22:25):
All right, well, then, why medicaid is very expensive to
the state, to the taxpayer, but doesn't have very good outcomes.
Why is that? Well, because they even at the level
that they're currently providing Medicaid services, they have a lot
of doctors that won't take it, and in fact, Medicare
doesn't even I know, people love Medicare who have it,
and it's a very popular program, but it's because what
(22:47):
it effectively does is it's a intergenerational subsidy where the
future generations have to pay a tab currently being run
up by people getting Medicare. People don't like to hear that,
but that's true. That's why you pay. You take out
twice what the average person I should say, takes out
of Medicare, twice what they pay into it. It's also
why we have now a twenty five trillion dollars debt.
(23:09):
I mean, I've been sure with it. I gotta check
what the debt is right now. But you see, all
of these are just ways of moving around money that
comes from the taxpayer and not actually dealing with the
real challenge here, The real issue, which is that unless
you have real competence. Oh, I'm sorry, twenty seven trillion dollars.
(23:32):
That's right. We've got the three three trillion extra this year.
It has to be factored into the spending eighty two
thousand dollars per US citizen right now, two hundred and
seventeen thousand dollars per taxpayer. That's where we are. The
music's gonna stop, and there aren't going to be enough chairs.
But I we'll have that conversation another day. No one
(23:52):
really cares to hear that stuff anymore, so we'll just
we'll just wait till the currency is worthless. Hey, then
we'll figure it out. Good good stuff. So the public
option will create just like Obamacare was the beginning of
the push for Medicare for all, the public option becomes
a push for single pair because you'll see people will say, Okay,
(24:15):
why wouldn't everybody just want to take the public option
healthcare plan? Well, because they're gonna be all kinds of
restrictions on it. Otherwise it's very very expensive, right, So
they're gonna put all these restrictions, which means that you're
not going to have great doctor networks, and people aren't
really gonna like the plan. It's not going to cover
that much. And remember, health insurance isn't really insurance as
(24:36):
we have it. It's subsidies. It's all these cross subsidies.
You don't have a health insurance so that if you
have a heart attack and you have to have a
stent put in all this stuff. You know, you don't
get a three hundred thousan dollars bill. That's part of it.
But for most people, health insurance is Okay, I'm gonna
go to you know, I'm gonna go to my eant
doc and I want to pay twenty dollars or I
want to pay fifty dollars copay and that's it. Okay,
(24:59):
Well the doc is arging your health insurer three four
or five hundred bucks. So these are all just machines
for redistributing money to people. And there's a lot of
politics involved in all this. You create a public option,
and what happens is that the public option people get
put onto it, and then there's all this political pressure
(25:19):
for the public option get more and more subsidy so
that the plan can be better and better for the
people who are on it, and eventually you'll just start
to say, okay, well why should why should a private insurer,
or rather, why should a private business insure its employees
just go get the public option? And the public option
is not that good. But now you have more and
more people on it, So what do they do. They
use their power at the ballot box to start saying, yeah,
(25:41):
but we're going to take more of your money to
make this a better option for us. Then private insurers
start to say we can compete with this, this is crazy,
and yes, then you get to single pair and that's
how it works the same way we told you that
Obamacare was going to be a stepping stone to Medicare
for all, which we all know now is true. Oh
and that they were planning all along on giving Obama
Care to illegal aliens. Remember that on the debate stage
(26:03):
or in the Democrat primary, all those hands went up.
It turned out we were right about that. I'm telling
you right now, a public option. It is feasible to
work at a public option where this wouldn't be the case.
But why would Democrats want to do that? Because that
would require telling people who have the public option, sorry,
this is the best you can get, right, and this
is the best you're going to get. This is the
(26:23):
best we can do while being fiscally responsible. Democrats are
going to say that, they're gonna say, oh, you're right,
we got to cover everything. We got to cover your
yoga lessons too, So let's just jack up property taxes
on people. That's the way it's gonna work, folks. Then
there's immigration, and this was interesting as well because it
(26:44):
showed one that Joe Biden continues to repeat the original
lies around the asylum at the border issue. You know,
I went to the border multiple times, as you know
if you've been listened me for a while, to spend
time doing right along with Border Patrol, meeting with CBP,
talk to people at the top level. We've had We've
had Ice and CBP and DHS chiefs on this show
(27:05):
many times. It's a really important issue, and it's one
that I find critical to the future of the country.
And I just also think it's intellectually and politically fascinating.
And here's the short version, in case you've forgotten, the
asylum waves that were hitting the country about two years
you know, a little over two years ago now, that
(27:28):
was largely based on a loophole that had to do
with people claiming that they were fleeing violence, when really
they were just fleeing a country with a crappy economy
where they didn't want to still be. And they realized
that if they came with a child, then they would
go into a different part of the system and would
immediately be released in the United States. And what people
(27:49):
like me were saying at the time was they're not
going to show up for their hearings, and this became
the big debate, and all the libs disingenuously. I think
many of them kind of knew. They were laughing behind
closed or they're sayings, oh no, they'll all show up
for their hearings. Why why show up for a hearing
when then you're running the risk of being denied asylum,
(28:09):
when you've already been released into the United States, and
there's you're very low especially if you're a mother with
a child, you're a very low deportation priority, so you're good.
So it was just an open door for people to
come into the country. And that's why you had as
I remember, border patrol told me a thirty four year
old pretending that he was seventeen. Because it also was
a different program for minors. So there are all these
(28:31):
scams and the cartels were making hundreds of millions of
dollars helping people with these scams, and they were doing
this through individuals referred to as coyotes, were the human
traffickers in this whole process. And the different plazzas, which
is what the cartels call the areas along the southern
border where they control and they break them up and
(28:51):
it's it's their turf, right, that's they make the money
for people to come to the border there, and the
cartels would use these coyotes, a lot of money going
through people's hands. It was fascinating last night to see
just how many dumbass blue checks think that coyote is
a disparaging term for immigrants who are coming to the border.
(29:14):
They were and these are people. I mean, what's the
guy went to? Uh? I think he's a Harvard student now.
David Hogg, the the guy who became the anti gun
activist when but he was seventeen, so you couldn't criticize him.
And he would go around calling people blood soaked terrorists.
But if you said anything, then they need to boycott.
You're attacking children. Notice how the libs love to do this.
They did this with Gretteth Thunberg. Yeah, let's have a
(29:36):
very odd sixteen year old lecturing us. Now she's eighteen,
so game on, right, we can fight, we can argue
she's an adult. Right? Is that are those the rules?
Or no? We can you criticize people in their eighteen
that to be twenty one. I just want to know
they want people to be able to vote. Libs want
to be people to be able to vote at sixteen.
But I guess you can't criticize their politics until they're eighteen,
(29:58):
twenty four, twenty eight, I don't. Oh, you can be
on your parents insurance until you're twenty six with Obamacare, right,
So maybe that's the new rule. I'm not sure. Of course,
the rule changes depending on what Democrats need in the moment.
But that guy hog who's just he had this whole
thing about how coyotes was a terrible thing to say
(30:19):
about people bringing their children the border. It's like, the
coyotes are the cartel employees doing the human trafficking, You
utter morons. Blue checks all over the internet last night. Coyote,
Oh my gosh, coyote is like a It's like a
racially disparaging term. No, no, no is the term everybody
uses for human traffickers, which is a criminal act. And
(30:44):
these are the kind of human traffickers when they work
for the cartels, who will you know, they'll leave people
in a really dangerous situation. They'll leave people to die
out in the desert if they can't keep up right.
I mean, that's what happens. It's not good people. The
coyotes are bad guys. But just as when Trump calls
MS thirteen animals, you know, they say, oh my gosh,
you mean those gang members who rape and mutilate and
(31:06):
murder people for sport. Trump called them animals. How dare he?
The Libs don't care. Whatever works for them, whatever works
to attack the president in the moment. But there was
there was something worthwhile about this, this exchange on immigration
last night, because Biden said path, path to citizenship. It's amnesty, folks,
(31:26):
He's telling you it's amnesty. This is the biggest single
thing the Democrats are going to try to accomplish. It
is the top priority for them. They want amnesty, absolutely,
they want amnesty for illegals in this country because that's
when we'll also find out, oh my gosh, suddenly it'll
be Oh, we had no idea. We said it was
(31:46):
eleven point seven million people in the country legally, turns
out it's more like twenty to twenty five. Oh yeah,
get ready for that too. But they oh yeah, the
government that the government that has the geniuses at the
FBI who thought that Carter Page was a Russian spy
and set up a fize on him. That government really
(32:07):
knows how many illegals have come into the country over
the last twenty years, right, sure, sure they do. That's
why they fight at every turn trying to trying to
count count the illegals properly. They don't want that to
be known. You would think they would want it to
be known, but no, they don't like that data to
be kept. So amnesty is for real. And then there
was the kids in cages line, which the Democrats love
(32:29):
to bring this up. Well, Trump had something to say
about that. Play clip nine. These five hundred plus kids
came with parents. They separated him at the border to
make it a disincentive to come to begin with. They
real tough, We're really strong, and guess what they cannot
(32:49):
it is not coyotes didn't bring them over their parents
were with them. They got separated from their parents, and
it makes us a laughing stock and violates every notion
of who we are as a nation. Let me ask
you first, they did it. We changed the policy. We
did not. They built the cages. They who built the cage.
(33:11):
Let's talk about who built the cages. To talk about
what we're talking about. What happened. Parents were ripped, their
kids were ripped from their arms and separated, and now
they cannot find over five hundreds of sets of those
parents and those kids are alone, nowhere to go, nowhere
to go. It's criminal. Who built the cages, if you
(33:33):
want to know. The Obama administration built the cages, and
they're really just fenced in areas. And I've seen those.
I've been to those fenced in areas. I've seen those
fenced in areas. And they are also temporary holding facilities
where people usually would be processed within twenty four hours.
They were They are depressing, they are not nice. I'm
(33:54):
not I'm not negating that in any way. Have people
tended to be in them for a day maybe two,
and then they were released into the interior of the
United States after being processed by ice. That's what was happening.
The whole thing was a scam. By the way, these
people were not fleeing violence. They were being trained by
the coyotes who were bringing them to the border. By
doesn't know what the heck he's talking about. It doesn't matter.
(34:15):
People just want to hear what they want to hear,
especially Democrats. Thanks for listening to the Best of Buck
Daily podcast. For more Buck head to buck Sexton dot
com and remember to subscribe to the podcast. Now let's
dive into what really is going to matter from the debate.
If anything not clear, I mean you'll never really be
able to know. People talk about moving the needle and
(34:37):
knockout punches and all these look it's impossible to avoid
the cliches, and I'm not gonna lie to you. People
that do this for a living and you analyze these things,
you try to come up with new ways of saying it.
But there's a reason why we end up sounding like
each other a lot on this. There's only so much
you can say about a debate in terms of the
analogies and stuff. But here's what I think is gonna matter.
(34:58):
Pennsylvania is a state where fossil fuels oil fracking matters
a lot, still a part of the industry there, and
Pennsylvania is a critical state for whichever candidates going to
end up being president of the United States. And Biden's
got a problem here because that's gonna be a little
bit like when Hillary Clinton went to West Virginia and
(35:21):
she and she said, well, if you work in the
coal industry, getting your job something like that. It was
something along those lines that she said. She basically told
people that they were on their own if you work
in the coal industry, we're gonna have to, you know,
learn to code or train you in something else. That
did not go over well for Hillary in West Virginia,
(35:42):
as you may recall, or in the rest of the campaign,
because then she tried to walk it back and you know,
a moment of honesty that would haunt her. And of
course any real moment of honesty haunts a Clinton. They
hate that. It's like garlic for a vampire. But last
night Trump with Biden had this exchange about fracking and
(36:03):
oil play sixteen and what about Frakie. All right, let
me Dent never said I opposed fraki You said its tape.
I did show the tape put it on your website.
Put it on. Put it on the website. Okay, ask
(36:23):
and ye shall receive. Joe Biden Trump did, in fact
put it on the website. You want to hear whether
whether Joe Biden has a problem with fracking or not.
He said, girl, let's see what you got, buddy, give
me your best shot. This is like the guy that
says giving your best shot and then he gets knocked
out cold in the bar from the guy who gives
him his best shot. Play seventeen. Would there be any
(36:48):
place for fossil fuels, including coal and fracking in a
Biden administration. No, we would. We would work it out.
We would make sure it's eliminated and no more subsidies
either one of those. I guarantee you We're gonna in
fossil fuel, no more, no new gradually move away from fracking.
And I think it's critically important on day one that
(37:10):
we end any fossil fuel leases on public LANs. They
want to do the same thing I wouldn't do. They
want to phase out fossil fuels, and we're going to
phase out fossils. There's no question I'm in favor of
banning frack now. It's it's hard to really cover this
(37:31):
without going very very deep into the details. Um, but
this is a this is a religious belief for the left.
I mean not just the climate change issue, which we'll
get to, but specifically fracking. I mean they really think
that fracking is is evil and in reality, fracking is
(37:53):
the reason that the United States in many ways has
been in such a place of unparalleled energy and economic
dominance for the last ten or fifteen years. It was
hugely helpful to us after the financial downturn. And the
technology has been around since the nineteen forties. Right. You
inject liquid ninety nine percent water and sand a tiny
(38:14):
amount of lubricant chemicals into shale formations. Right. That creates
small fractures, which allows the extraction of oil or natural
gas from the sites where the oil derric and well
had been removed. But there's been an expanded utilization of this.
You get more than ninety percent. Okay, listen to me
on this one. Ninety percent of American oil and gas
(38:35):
wells currently in use are hydraulically hyd fractured, and America
is now a global energy superpower because of it. Now,
this is so notworthy in many ways because It reminds
me the discussion we're having now about experts and science.
(38:55):
Remember all the talk about peak oil. We used to
be told that we were going to reach peak oil,
you know, in the run around now Actually, I mean
we were worried about peak oil stretching back for decades,
and geopolitical strategists became obsessed with this in America, and
we in fact even made national security decisions based upon
(39:16):
our access to oil because we were so worried we
were going to run out. But that meant that we
cared too much about Middle Eastern dictatorships and the whole
Mideast region. Why don't we find ourselves there because of
the energy Because what it did in the global energy markets?
What was Iran's big trump card pardon the phrase, so
(39:36):
to speak, When we started to have more and more
problems with well, we've had problems with since nineteen seventy nine,
but when things started to ratchet up in recent years,
it was always they could shut down the straits of
horror moves, shut down the global energy market. Twenty five
percent of oil goes through the straits straights of horror moves,
so that was gonna be a big problem. Oil was
(39:57):
over one hundred dollars of barrel my friends in twenty eleven.
Go back ten years. This technology has been incredible, but
people absolutely love on the left. They love to treat
it like it's some kind of a monster. And Biden
can't get away with it. Biden can't bring himself to say,
(40:18):
you know what, this whole anti oil thing that we've
got is lunacy. The cheap price of energy and the
fracking that allows that to be the case, and the
domestic supply that we now have results in cheaper, better,
faster everything in the economy around you. The room you
(40:39):
are in is better climate controlled, the food that you
were eating is more efficiently grown and brought to you
and stored. All of this because of fossil fuels. This
obsession with solar and windmills is lunacy. Democrat party is
(41:01):
absolutely devoted to it, and they just don't care. In fact,
Joe Biden starts out, now, this is the thing you
have to say. Climate change is an existential threat. It
is absolutely not an existential threat. And it's a silly,
embarrassing thing to say, but that's now a thing that
you must say to be a Democrat who's in good
(41:22):
standing with his own side, you're not allowed to say
anything else about it. In fact that they'll laugh at you,
they'll think there's something wrong with you. And then that
brings me to my problem with the question last night
about not just a question about that. The climate change
in these debates is always a segment unto itself. It's
always a section we're going to have a part of
(41:42):
the debate on climate change. Why? Why this is dumb?
This is dumb? And I know people, oh my gosh,
you're such a yeah, who wants to place bets? That's
I think the only way that we can start to
really we can start to really see people stop this
nonsense is if we created an exchange where you could
(42:03):
place bets. The climate catastrophist can say, what's going to happen?
You know? So, for example, the movie An Inconvenient Truth,
you look at Florida underwater by the year twenty thirty.
All right, I'll put I'll put you know, ten grand
right now on Florida's not going to be underwater in
ten years. Who wants to take that bet? Right? That
would be that would be the only way that you'd
(42:26):
start to see people have to back off this nonsense
where they were demonstrably wrong and suffer for being wrong.
Because what you have now is they're wrong every ten years,
but every ten years they changed their prediction for the
next ten years. And that's what we're supposed to focus on. Oh,
we didn't get it right the last time, but we'll
get it right this time. And this extends even to
COVID and too, the COVID lockdowns. But you've got you've
(42:49):
got Trump pointing out that Fauci is a guy who
we're supposed to listen to about everything. This guy's been
wrong tons of times. This is from the debate last
Right Play eleven. This week, you called doctor Anthony Fauci,
the nation's best known infectious disease expert, quote a disaster.
You described him and other medical experts as quote idiots.
(43:10):
If you're not listening to them, who are you listening
to them? That I'm listening to all of them, including Anthony.
I get along very well with Anthony. But he did
say don't wear masks. He did say, as you know,
this is not going to be a problem. I think
he's a Democrat, but that's okay. He said, this is
not going to be a problem. We are not going
to have a problem at all. When Joe says that,
(43:32):
I said, Anthony Fauci said, and to others and many others,
And I'm not knocking him a lot. Nobody knew. Look,
nobody knew what this thing was. Nobody knew where it
was coming from. What it was, We've learned a lot.
But Anthony said, don't wear masks. Now he wants to
wear masks. Anthony also said, if you look back exact words,
here's his exact or this is no problem. This is
(43:52):
going to go away soon. So he's allowed to make mistakes.
He happens to be a good person. Why is it
such a problem to point out that Fauci has been
wrong many times during this Isn't that just speaking truth?
The guy's been wrong a lot. A lot of people
have been wrong a lot. But here's the point. Fauci
is given a dispensation from the lib media because he's
(44:14):
a catastrophist and he just always gives you the most
negative interpretation and doesn't care. You know, the economic damage
that's going on in the country, the ruined lives, the
drug abuse. He's just you know, that's not as bad,
it's not as big a deal as this disease wear
a mask, right, This is all we ever hear from
this guy, and the Libs like it because he's a
(44:35):
useful He's a useful tool with which they can try
to bludgeon the Trump campaign, which is what they've been doing.
But he's been wrong, and they forgive him entirely. In fact,
they forbid you from even addressing the fact that he
has been wrong. Meanwhile, Trump, if he said back in March,
look I think it's gonna fade out by the summer,
(44:57):
or look I think we're gonna beat this thing soon,
or whatever Trumpian thing he said, he's a mass murderer
because of that. So Fauci, who's an infectious disease expert,
can tell everybody and be given this unbelievable authority to
basically make policy for the whole country. He could say,
don't wear a mask, and all the people that didn't
wear masks because of that, that's all forgiven and forgotten.
(45:18):
But Trump says, I think this is gonna go away,
don't worry about it that much. And he's a monster
and a murderer. That's why this matters, because they have
no standard that they're applying Fauci is great. Trump is
awful based on what based on Orange Man bad
