Speaker 2 (00:20):
Hey, welcome to the Buck Brief. On this episode, our
friend Danielle Desuza Gil. She's the author of the book
The Choice, Conservative Commentator and a new mom, which is
very exciting. How old is the baby?
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Oh, thanks, Bob, because she is six months old. So
she's had such a cute phase and it's really fun.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
That's very exciting. Yeah, six months amazing. I had my
little eighteen month old nephew visiting recently and you know,
running around my apartment with you know, his mom chasing
after him, and he's just like he's like a little
chunky bumper car. You know, he just sort of like
rolls around, runs into things. He's fine though, but like
because he can't get that much speed, right, Like, it's
he's kind of moving slow, but he's small, so he
(01:01):
sort of bumps, he goes whoa, then he bums into
something else. Whoa. But it's a lot of fun. Congrats
on that. That's the stuff that really matters. But let's
talk about the country for a second. A few things
here Where are you on the Majorcus impeachment. You know,
they just impeach him in the House. You think this
is going to matter or is it a good move politically?
(01:23):
What do you see from it?
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Yeah? I think it is a good move, Buck, because
I think it'll force Senate Democrats to go on the
record saying what they think of Majorcas. Do they stand
with Biden and his horrible disaster border policies? Christen Cinema,
other people will have to decide on this. So even
if it doesn't result in, you know, the way that
(01:45):
we want, I feel like in the end, the Democrats
will have to defend Biden's actions or we'll have to
go against Biden. And it's important that people know that
it's not just Biden who is doing this to the country,
it's Majorcus and really the whole party is pushing this
open border disaster. So I think that in the end
it's actually a good thing.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
And the border issue seems like it's going to be
absolutely essential for if Republicans want to win. I mean,
I go back to twenty sixteen, I think about Donald
Trump and what was the main issue. Yes, there's Trump
the persona and all that he represents, and talks about.
But in terms of policy, the border was the thing
more than anything else. I think quite clearly that elevated
(02:27):
him to the front of the GOP pack and then
allowed him to defeat Hillary Clinton. Is that the key
this time around? And how do you think he should
message it?
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Yeah, you know, I totally agree with you. I think
the messaging on it is strong, of course, But I
also think that when we look at it, it's not
just about the messaging. The Democrats want our border to
be porous and open because they want to import Democrat voters.
We have millions of illegals coming into this country every year,
and let's just say each person running for president gets
(02:59):
around eighty million votes. That's going to make a huge
difference if they're bringing in all of these millions of people.
And I think when we look at this upcoming election
in twenty twenty four, we see Joe who clearly has dementia,
Clearly he is past his prime. And so if they're
running a candidate that's that week, and we're running a
president who's as vigilant and strong and successful as President Trump,
(03:22):
then how do we not know that we have the
election in the bag? I think it's because clearly the
system is broken, and clearly it's because of things like
an open border. So if we don't seal the border,
what's going to happen to us in twenty twenty eight,
What's going to happen to future elections? I think Republicans
will be scratching their heads saying to themselves, how do
we fix our messaging when in reality, the system needs
(03:43):
to be fixed, and the border, I think is the
key to that because we need to have only Americans
voting in our elections.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
And it seems to me that there's finally an awakening
of what these numbers really mean. Because you've got call
it seven million, and even at best the official number
is an estimate, right, call it seven million, but it'll
be eight million by the time people are voting in
the fall. And they see that number, that's a huge number, right,
(04:14):
That alone has meeting. But beyond that, I think what's
going on in New York and Chicago, where people see
that these are individuals who are in the country illegally,
who are going to be a drain on public resources,
and that this is going to affect people's kids' schools,
and it's going to affect emergency rooms and housing and
the tax base.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Absolutely, and not to mention the fact that we're one
of the only countries where you can just come across
the border and have a child here and they're an
American citizen. So I think that this policy is being abused,
the fact that many of these people are not actually refugees.
Many people are taking advantage of this because they know
that they can come in under Biden and hopefully and
(04:59):
hopefully stay here. And when we look at our schools,
when we look at our hospitals and all of these
things that are already burdened even just by the fact
that we have a welfare state. Now we're going to
have all of these illegal goals coming here, many of
whom are criminals. But as you mentioned, even if you're
not one of those people, you're still going to be
taking from Americans. And many people who are coming in here,
(05:21):
we don't know their intentions, you know. I mean, the
Democrats always want to act like we're evil if we
say that any of them are criminals. But there's not
just drug trafficking, there's human trafficking, and we really need
to seal the border immediately.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Let's talk in a moment here about the Democrats side
of things and your sense of where it's all going
with Joe Biden, which is, I feel like an everyday
news cycle on its own now. But first up. With
the world favoring online investing, stock markets and cryptocurrencies, it
almost seems archaic to some people to look at tangible
assets real things. But you want to be ahead of
(05:56):
the herd, not following it, because we barely even carry
cash nowadays, So why would it be a good idea
to invest in something physical?
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Right?
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Because look at history, look at what happens. Gold and
other pressures have been a sound investment for banks, governments, businesses,
and individuals for decades, for centuries even There are some
very clear reasons why. Primary advantage of adding gold to
your portfolio is its stability. Gold is also a nice
hedge against inflation, meaning a good defense against your cash
(06:27):
getting eaten up by inflation. One popular advantage of investing
in gold is nobody knows you have it unless you
tell them, and the unlikely event of a massive financial crisis,
you can use your gold as currency. Go to Oxford
gooldgroup dot com, slash free to request your free information
kid or to make a precious medals purchase yourself. I've
done it. I've worked with Oxford Gold for years and
(06:47):
I've gotten my gold from them. Oxford gooldgroup dot com
slash free again. That's Oxford gooldgroup dot com slash free. Danielle,
where are you look? You probably know this if you
follow me on Twitter or we follow each other on Twitter,
so you know that. I'm I think it's gonna be
Joe Biden, no matter what. Are you? Are you one
of these people that's talking the nonsense about Michelle Obama
(07:08):
taking over suddenly?
Speaker 1 (07:10):
No? No, I've actually always thought it's going to be
Joe Biden because Joe Biden can only be removed if
he wants to remove himself. I know Republicans talk about
the fact that he has some kind of puppet master,
and it's Obama or his wife or someone who's controlling
him all the time. And certainly he has his handlers,
he has his teleprompter, but at the end of the day,
(07:31):
he really has to be forcibly removed, and I don't
think the Democrats can make him step down. He really
does want to be president, I think, even though he
clearly shouldn't be, and so I think it's going to
be Biden. But I think the fact that they're running
Joe Biden shows that the Democrats have a system, and
they used it with Fetterman, who was basically comatose when
(07:54):
he was running for Senate, to get him across the
finish line. So I think that the Democrats are worried
about it. They don't like Joe Biden. I'm sure they
prefer a more robust candidate, maybe Gavin Newsom, but they're
going to find a way to make this election as
close as possible, even though we're running such a great candidate,
President Trump. So it's a huge problem for us.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Yes, I'm happy to see that. You also are living
in a little place called reality. I don't know why
all these people think. Imagine this, They're gonna run all
the way. They're going to have an incumbent president. It'd
be one thing if it was if Biden was running, right,
if he was like running against a Republican. But at
this point, you know, let's say they had declared him
(08:35):
the nominee, but there was still time before the convention.
Then I could see something like this, because all right,
we're gonna we're gonna change it up. They're talking about
getting rid of the sitting president, the skipping over the
vice president, and pulling over a third a third party,
of third person of some cond Michelle Obama, Gavin knew
from somebody else, which would mean that all the spending
(08:58):
that they do all the time, you know, knocking on
door saying vote Biden Harris until July is up in smoke, effectively,
and you're gonna try to do that now. People say, oh,
butocrats will vote for any Democrat. Yeah, but if they're
going to win the election, they're going to beat Donald Trump,
They're going to have to win swing voters. They're going
to have to win up for grab voters, low propensity voters,
(09:20):
and that requires infrastructure and time. So I mean, to me,
this is I don't know what it is the right
these days. If it's a conspiracy, people are all in
on it, and if I try to tell them that
this is not a good conspiracy, they think that I'm
the one who's uh drinking the crazy juice.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Oh my gosh. Well, look, I feel like, if it's
not Biden, let's say something happened to him. I think
it's going to obviously be Harris because of course Harris
is the VP, and the Democrats, they are obsessed with race, gender, politics,
all of this, so they're not going to skip over
the first black woman vice president because it kind of
goes against their whole ideology. Obviously, as conservatives, we don't
(09:58):
care about that kind of stuff, but on the left,
that's like really taboo for them. So I think any
discussion of some other third or fourth candidate is really
really silly. Going to be Biden, And if for some reason,
by physical reason, it can't be Biden, I think it
would be Harris. And I don't really think the Democrats
want Harris because Harris is actually even more unpopular than Biden.
(10:20):
So I think they'd actually prefer to just keep it
as Biden.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Yeah, I think I think so too. And what we
just saw in Long Island and the third Congressional District,
let's actually talk Well we talked about that for a second.
Then I'll ask you a Valentine's you're wearing Valentine's red.
It's Valentine's Day also Ash Wednesday for those who are
of the Catholic faithful. But we should first get into
(10:46):
congressional The third Congressional district in Long Island. This it
was an eight point defeat. The Republicans have a pretty
good infrastructure in Long Island. Long Island has been trending red.
But they had a Democrat who did three things right
they're putting aside. Okay, he's known, he's been there a
long time, and he did have some pretty solid advantages.
(11:06):
But this was obviously a Republican seat belonged to Antos.
Republicans decided to get rid of Santos, which to me,
you're going to have an election coming up anyway, Just
let the people decide on a new candidate. But it's
total own goal for Republicans, but they love doing that.
But in this in this third congressional district, Danielle, three
(11:27):
things happened. You had a guy who said he was
strong a Democrat said he was strong on the border,
hit Trump and you know, democracy threats, and talked about
being you know, abortion and the need for abortion to
be you know, all nine months of a pregnancy or whatever.
Any won And I think I think that should be
concerning for people who think we're going to win in
(11:48):
the suburbs in Pennsylvania and Georgia and elsewhere.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Interesting. I think that what happened was the Democrat running
tried to associate Santos with the Republican opponent. I think
obviously Santos made Republicans who want to run for that
seat look horrible. I don't think Santos should have even
been removed at this point. Because we have such a
narrow majority, we really put ourselves into a tricky spot.
(12:17):
So I personally think Democrats are immoral. They do horrible
things all the time. So this idea that we're just
going to flagellate our own because we have some higher principles,
but we're just going to let democrats get away with
crimes is ridiculous. And I think whoever does run for
that seat next is actually going to be strong as
a Republican. I think this was kind of the leftover
(12:38):
of Santos's bad record running as a Republican. There.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Well, I hope you. I hope you're right, because this
was a seat that we should have won. Lost by
eight not not a good indicator of what the GOP
machinery is capable of right now. But let's come back
and talk about something full, which is Valentine's data. Second,
are you wondering how everyone's talking about Belize these days.
Whoa boy? Belize is fantastic. It's fun. Imagine visiting a
(13:07):
country that just a couple of hours from, say Miami, Atlanta, Dallas, Houston,
and you can enjoy a rainforest in white sand beaches
in the same day. Belize is fun because you can
float through caves, down a jungle river, climb an ancient
Mayan ruin, swim with nurse sharks and rays, cast for
a grand Slam the Ultimate, and fly fishing on the flats,
snorkel or scuba dive the longest living reef in the world.
(13:29):
Or simply relax, enjoy the beach bars, playing live music
and dance under the stars before you know the sun
comes up, and also have the best lobster dinner you've
had in a very long time. Don't take my word
for it, Go visit, go check it out. Belize is
amazing for so many reasons. Download your free Belize handbook
and God go to belizeesfun dot com. That's Belize is
(13:50):
fun dot Com. All right, so you're a married lady,
I'm a married man. Valentine's Day, I got to wipe
some flowers. We're having a nice steak dinner to night
at home, not go to restaurants, because restaurants rip you
off on Valentine's But people get mad at me when
I say that, what is your Valentine's plan? How should
it happen for married ladies out there listening?
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Oh my gosh, Well, our plan is we're actually campaigning.
My husband's running for US Congress in Texas. He's been
endorsed by President Trump and Senator Cruz and he will
join the House Freedom Caucus if he wins a selection.
So we are actually focusing on that and the campaign
and voters here. But we're gonna be with Marrigold, our daughter,
and probably just be at home.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
That's the way to do it. That's the I just
keep telling her Valentine should be celebrated. I don't mean
there's in any should be celebrated in the home. I
think that's the best way to do it. You know, now,
I get it if you're if you're if you're like
in the dating scene, and you know you got to
take somebody out and try to impress them. But to me,
anytime there's pressure on a night, whether it's Valentine's, New
(14:53):
Year's Eve or whatever, you're just making it less likely
you're going to enjoy yourself. You're going to pay more,
get less from the restaurant or the club or the
whatever you're going to do, and for what, you know,
I don't know. I feel like, you know, don't don't
get caught up with all the all the peasant stuff,
like go celebrate that stuff on another day and have
a nice quiet night on New Year's or on Valentine's
(15:16):
That's my take on it.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Yeah, definitely not to mention the fact that I feel
like when you're at home you can actually have more
of a conversation and stuff and home cooked meals are
really great. I think that's actually huge win on a
date because going out to eat is easy. It's actually
more fun to cook at home.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
What uh if you were? If you were, if you
were going to tell yourself, it's kind of like advice
for you know, new parents out there or soon to
be new parents out there. You're six month and you're
very excited. I can see in the background for if
you're not, if you're listening on on audio right now
on the podcast and you don't know, we have buck
Brief the YouTube channel. We just really we just launched
(15:52):
the YouTube channel, so it's brand new. Please go subscribe
to the buck Brief that is the YouTube channel that
you want. But you'll see a little baby Marrigold in
the background who's absolutely adorable. But what is the one
thing you've learned or advice you'd want to give people
out there?
Speaker 1 (16:06):
I would say, don't be afraid to have kids. I
think that there's a huge stigma around it. Especially, It's
like the stigmas if you're a guy, you know, just
only focus on your career and be a hipster. I
don't know, like, go do all these other things and
then you can figure those things out. I think the
same thing is pushed on women to only focus on
your career. But I feel like you can, actually you
(16:29):
can have a family, you can still do interesting things
and it actually brings you a lot of joy. And
it's unfortunate a lot of young women especially don't realize
that because they're sold a lot of lies, especially from
the media, from shows like Sex and the City and
all this, and I think, yet, you really can't have
a lot of joy from that.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
All right, excellent stuff. Danielle de Susa gil my friend,
Good to see you. Her book is The Choice by
the way go pick up a copy of the Choice
and Danielle thanks for being here.

we're gonna we're gonna change it up. They're talking about
getting rid of the sitting president, the skipping over the
vice president, and pulling over a third a third party,
of third person of some cond Michelle Obama, Gavin knew
from somebody else, which would mean that all the spending
(08:58):
that they do all the time, you know, knocking on
door saying vote Biden Harris until July is up in smoke, effectively,
and you're gonna try to do that now. People say, oh,
butocrats will vote for any Democrat. Yeah, but if they're
going to win the election, they're going to beat Donald Trump,
They're going to have to win swing voters. They're going
to have to win up for grab voters, low propensity voters,
(09:20):
and that requires infrastructure and time. So I mean, to me,
this is I don't know what it is the right
these days. If it's a conspiracy, people are all in
on it, and if I try to tell them that
this is not a good conspiracy, they think that I'm
the one who's uh drinking the crazy juice.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Oh my gosh. Well, look, I feel like, if it's
not Biden, let's say something happened to him. I think
it's going to obviously be Harris because of course Harris
is the VP, and the Democrats, they are obsessed with race, gender, politics,
all of this, so they're not going to skip over
the first black woman vice president because it kind of
goes against their whole ideology. Obviously, as conservatives, we don't
(09:58):
care about that kind of stuff, but on the left,
that's like really taboo for them. So I think any
discussion of some other third or fourth candidate is really
really silly. Going to be Biden, And if for some reason,
by physical reason, it can't be Biden, I think it
would be Harris. And I don't really think the Democrats
want Harris because Harris is actually even more unpopular than Biden.
(10:20):
So I think they'd actually prefer to just keep it
as Biden.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Yeah, I think I think so too. And what we
just saw in Long Island and the third Congressional District,
let's actually talk Well we talked about that for a second.
Then I'll ask you a Valentine's you're wearing Valentine's red.
It's Valentine's Day also Ash Wednesday for those who are
of the Catholic faithful. But we should first get into
(10:46):
congressional The third Congressional district in Long Island. This it
was an eight point defeat. The Republicans have a pretty
good infrastructure in Long Island. Long Island has been trending red.
But they had a Democrat who did three things right
they're putting aside. Okay, he's known, he's been there a
long time, and he did have some pretty solid advantages.
(11:06):
But this was obviously a Republican seat belonged to Antos.
Republicans decided to get rid of Santos, which to me,
you're going to have an election coming up anyway, Just
let the people decide on a new candidate. But it's
total own goal for Republicans, but they love doing that.
But in this in this third congressional district, Danielle, three
(11:27):
things happened. You had a guy who said he was
strong a Democrat said he was strong on the border,
hit Trump and you know, democracy threats, and talked about
being you know, abortion and the need for abortion to
be you know, all nine months of a pregnancy or whatever.
Any won And I think I think that should be
concerning for people who think we're going to win in
(11:48):
the suburbs in Pennsylvania and Georgia and elsewhere.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Interesting. I think that what happened was the Democrat running
tried to associate Santos with the Republican opponent. I think
obviously Santos made Republicans who want to run for that
seat look horrible. I don't think Santos should have even
been removed at this point. Because we have such a
narrow majority, we really put ourselves into a tricky spot.
(12:17):
So I personally think Democrats are immoral. They do horrible
things all the time. So this idea that we're just
going to flagellate our own because we have some higher principles,
but we're just going to let democrats get away with
crimes is ridiculous. And I think whoever does run for
that seat next is actually going to be strong as
a Republican. I think this was kind of the leftover
(12:38):
of Santos's bad record running as a Republican. There.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Well, I hope you. I hope you're right, because this
was a seat that we should have won. Lost by
eight not not a good indicator of what the GOP
machinery is capable of right now. But let's come back
and talk about something full, which is Valentine's data. Second,
are you wondering how everyone's talking about Belize these days.
Whoa boy? Belize is fantastic. It's fun. Imagine visiting a
(13:07):
country that just a couple of hours from, say Miami, Atlanta, Dallas, Houston,
and you can enjoy a rainforest in white sand beaches
in the same day. Belize is fun because you can
float through caves, down a jungle river, climb an ancient
Mayan ruin, swim with nurse sharks and rays, cast for
a grand Slam the Ultimate, and fly fishing on the flats,
snorkel or scuba dive the longest living reef in the world.
(13:29):
Or simply relax, enjoy the beach bars, playing live music
and dance under the stars before you know the sun
comes up, and also have the best lobster dinner you've
had in a very long time. Don't take my word
for it, Go visit, go check it out. Belize is
amazing for so many reasons. Download your free Belize handbook
and God go to belizeesfun dot com. That's Belize is
(13:50):
fun dot Com. All right, so you're a married lady,
I'm a married man. Valentine's Day, I got to wipe
some flowers. We're having a nice steak dinner to night
at home, not go to restaurants, because restaurants rip you
off on Valentine's But people get mad at me when
I say that, what is your Valentine's plan? How should
it happen for married ladies out there listening?
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Oh my gosh, Well, our plan is we're actually campaigning.
My husband's running for US Congress in Texas. He's been
endorsed by President Trump and Senator Cruz and he will
join the House Freedom Caucus if he wins a selection.
So we are actually focusing on that and the campaign
and voters here. But we're gonna be with Marrigold, our daughter,
and probably just be at home.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
That's the way to do it. That's the I just
keep telling her Valentine should be celebrated. I don't mean
there's in any should be celebrated in the home. I
think that's the best way to do it. You know, now,
I get it if you're if you're if you're like
in the dating scene, and you know you got to
take somebody out and try to impress them. But to me,
anytime there's pressure on a night, whether it's Valentine's, New
(14:53):
Year's Eve or whatever, you're just making it less likely
you're going to enjoy yourself. You're going to pay more,
get less from the restaurant or the club or the
whatever you're going to do, and for what, you know,
I don't know. I feel like, you know, don't don't
get caught up with all the all the peasant stuff,
like go celebrate that stuff on another day and have
a nice quiet night on New Year's or on Valentine's
(15:16):
That's my take on it.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Yeah, definitely not to mention the fact that I feel
like when you're at home you can actually have more
of a conversation and stuff and home cooked meals are
really great. I think that's actually huge win on a
date because going out to eat is easy. It's actually
more fun to cook at home.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
What uh if you were? If you were, if you
were going to tell yourself, it's kind of like advice
for you know, new parents out there or soon to
be new parents out there. You're six month and you're
very excited. I can see in the background for if
you're not, if you're listening on on audio right now
on the podcast and you don't know, we have buck
Brief the YouTube channel. We just really we just launched
(15:52):
the YouTube channel, so it's brand new. Please go subscribe
to the buck Brief that is the YouTube channel that
you want. But you'll see a little baby Marrigold in
the background who's absolutely adorable. But what is the one
thing you've learned or advice you'd want to give people
out there?
Speaker 1 (16:06):
I would say, don't be afraid to have kids. I
think that there's a huge stigma around it. Especially, It's
like the stigmas if you're a guy, you know, just
only focus on your career and be a hipster. I
don't know, like, go do all these other things and
then you can figure those things out. I think the
same thing is pushed on women to only focus on
your career. But I feel like you can, actually you
(16:29):
can have a family, you can still do interesting things
and it actually brings you a lot of joy. And
it's unfortunate a lot of young women especially don't realize
that because they're sold a lot of lies, especially from
the media, from shows like Sex and the City and
all this, and I think, yet, you really can't have
a lot of joy from that.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
All right, excellent stuff. Danielle de Susa gil my friend,
Good to see you. Her book is The Choice by
the way go pick up a copy of the Choice
and Danielle thanks for being here.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
