Everybody has seen how dishonest the media is in recent weeks,
particularly about this. I mean, there's so much we could
insert in the fill in the blank there, but particularly

(00:22):
when it comes to this Georgia election law. They're lying
about it all over the place. And it's fascinating because
I thought we were supposed to be able to count on,
not just the media, to be truthtellers, because that's absurd.
We don't really believe that. But at least the social
media companies and the tech giants. Aren't they supposed to
get rid of lives. Aren't they supposed to make sure

(00:46):
that only truth is able to be shared? Don't they
block things that are misinformation? And yet has any misinformation
about the Georgia election law SP two O two Has
any of that been banned? Has any of that been
taken down? Have you seen that anywhere? No? Of course not,
because we all understand what's really going on here. We

(01:06):
recognize that they have taken sides. We'll be talking about that,
and also of course the updates on the Ramda santis
effort here from the media to destroy him. They're trying
to find a way to make the single best governor
with the most impressive results in the entire country from

(01:27):
the pandemic. They're trying to make him look like the
bad guy after they held up Cuomo and Newsom as
the good guys. It's embarrassing, but that's, of course what
the media does. You can't trust them. You also can't
trust the big tech companies. You know that much, and
now is the time to take a stance. Take a
stance against the MLB, take a stance against Coca Cola,

(01:49):
take a stance against Facebook and Google. Protect your personal
data from big tech with the VPN. I trust Express VPN.
That's a virtual private network it prot XU. When you
use Express VPN, your connection online gets rerouted through their
secure encrypted servers, so these companies can't see your IP

(02:10):
address at all. That I'm talking about here. Every device,
whether you're on your phone, laptop, or TV, has a
unique string of numbers called an IP address. When you
search for stuff, watch videos, or even click a link,
and then the big tech companies can use that to
track all of your activity. You don't want that, so
all you have to do is get Express VPN. You
don't need to be tech savvy either. It's so easy.

(02:32):
I've got it on all my devices. Protect your Internet
activity with the VPN I'm using every day. Go to
Express vpn dot com slash buck to get three extra
months free on a one year package. That's Express vpn
dot com slash buck to get three extra months free
Express vpn dot com slash buck. This is unbelievable, I

(02:55):
mean really unfortunate today. Obviously the Major League Baseball has
folded up and cave to the cancel culture and a
bunch of liberal lives, quite honestly, and what's even more
sad as the President of the Nined States, Joe Biden,
and people like Stacy Abrams labeling the Election Integrity Act
Jim Crow, this is what happens. You know. Now, you

(03:17):
have a lot of small business owners, a lot of
great baseball fans, including myself, or they're getting deprived of
having the All Star Game in Atlanta because of a
cancel culture. And I think it's a message to all
of us all across this country that are at home tonight.
They're coming after you next. You know, they're gonna come
after your ball game. They're going to boycott your business.

(03:38):
If you don't agree with their way of life, they're
gonna come after you on that too. Cancel culture is
a cancer in our society. It's destroying us. It's eating
us from the inside out. It's ruinous, and now it's
going to cost a whole lot of small business. So

(04:00):
owners and employees, people that are selling merchandise, people that
own hotels or try to rent out their home on
Airbnb or whatever it may be. They're losing. They estimate
in the county in Georgia, cop County where they were
going to have the Major League Baseball All Star Game,
a hundred million dollars of revenue. Now one hundred million

(04:22):
dollars of revenues being pulled from this part of the country.
And I know they'll say, oh, buff they'll just move
it somewhere else. Yeah, but people were counting on that revenue.
People have been making decisions, people have been preparing for this.
You're going to punish an area of the country that
work to put itself in a position where they could
actually have this kind of an event. You're going to

(04:43):
punish them for what for lies lies. Governor Camp knows
everyone in Georgia, everyone who's read the bill, the Election
Integrity Act SB two O two, everyone knows that this
is all bullcrap. But Democrats don't care about that. The
lie is useful. There's a certain power, there's a certain

(05:05):
advantage they get from just making it up. So that's
all that really matters. And that's what they've done. And
they've caused real damage to people here. And it's not
just Major League Baseball, mind you, it's also Coca Cola,
it's Delta Airlines. These are companies that could very easily say,
and it would be much better for the country if
they said, we provide great services to all people, and

(05:28):
you know, support our democracy, but we don't take part
as in political stances out of respect for our customers
and our employees. But no, that's not the culture we
have now, because you see, conservatives have, unfortunately, and this
has been a huge mistake, spent a long time sitting
around saying, you know, maybe we'll get them to stop

(05:49):
being crazy, Maybe we can get the left, the Libs,
the progressives to stop being insane. But it doesn't work
because they're getting their way they're benefiting from this. They
get to bash their political enemies, they get to increase
their power. Why would they stop. They don't care about

(06:09):
the damage that's being done to people. They like the
damage that they see. They like that people that disagree
with them politically, or having their business hurt or perhaps
even ruined. And if there's some collateral damage or they're
own side, you know what I'm making Omelet you gotta
break a few eggs. That's their attitude, Like all leftists, collectivists, totalitarians, stalinists.

(06:32):
You know, some people are going to suffer because of
my maniacal policies, my desire for control and absolute power.
Too bad. That's really the ethos of the Democrat Party
these days. They don't care. It doesn't bother them at all.
They'll just tell themselves fairy tales. They'll tell themselves lies
about what's happening if they have to, or they just

(06:54):
will ignore it, or they don't mind. It doesn't matter.
It's not going to stop. So how do we get
to stop? People ask me this, where are you spending
your dollars? What companies, what corporations do you support? What
products are you buying? You buy the products of companies

(07:15):
that support free speech. Do you purchase things online or
in store that are sold to you by people who,
even if they don't share your values. That's one thing
that's fine, although I think that's also good. But at
least they're willing to allow you your values and not
spit on you all the time. Are you making those determinations?

(07:38):
I tell you this, and I say it without without
any hesitation. Are you checking out the sponsors on this
show or whatever other shows you listen to as well?
I'll just say it. I mean this is a general principal,
though obviously I care the most about the sponsors on
this show. Are you actually taking action on those things?
Because if the answers no, if you're just yeah, I'm

(08:00):
still gonna fly Delta because I like the points and
Coca Cola upon the way, you should not be drinking
Coca cola. We all know this, right, SODA's terrible for you.
It's a whole other really also to unfortunately, it's kind
of like a treat. You know, if you think of
soda like you think of, you know, a lollipop or
a candy cane or something a once in a while
sweet treat. That's fine, but I know Coca Cola has

(08:21):
bought all these other brands and companies beneath it, but
in general, it's still thought of as a soda company.
And really, people shouldn't be drinking that stuff. You should
be drinking water. I try to remind myself of this
all the time. But are you taking action based upon
these things? Every single one of you listening to this
huge amounts of people across the country because the show
is it has gotten big now, folks, and we have

(08:43):
a large audience across the United States. It's been you know,
it's taken us five years to get here, but now
we're one of the by the numbers, I'm certain, one
of the ten biggest radio shows in the United States.
And then it's a question of where we fall on
that list for conservative talk. And we sit here and
we we think to ourselves, how is this going to change?

(09:05):
How will this stop? Um, it's only when we fight back.
And that's what Trump when he released you know, forty
five as people are calling him now, the former present
of the United States put out one of his I
don't know what we call these these memoranda, memoranda from
down in Marlago where he said that this is this

(09:27):
is nonsense, and you've got to hit back. If we
don't hit back, we lose. I hope everyone at least
understands that now. If we don't decide that it's time
to do something about this cancel culture and everyone has
to has to mobilize, then it just continues on and
then we just we'll get used to what I suppose
over time, or we start just withdrawing from our principles

(09:51):
in public life and allow the other side to just
steamroll us all the time. You know, when was when
was the last time a company did something drastic because
it was so afraid of conservatives or traditional Christians or
Republicans or whatever coming after them? Women? Was the last
time you can think of? Because I can sit here
and tell you lots of times the pendulum is swung

(10:14):
in the other direction. It happens all the time. Actually,
So we either change this dynamic or continues to be
the dynamic. That's where we are. I think people have
realized this now. I will tell you. I will admit
I used to have a sense that I used to
have a sense that you know, we could we could

(10:35):
convince the other side to stop being crazy but now
i've I've seen it's really over the last over last
three or four years, it's gotten particularly egregious. But I've
seen that they don't care that it's damaging and that
it's wrong, and that it's unprincipled. In fact, it's an advantage, right,
if you're willing to do whatever to get what you want.

(10:58):
You got a lot, you've got a lot of room
for maneuver, you get a lot of things you can do.
That's their approach. They don't feel badly about any of this,
and it has enormous effects on Remember one company does this,
a lot of other companies go, oh, better put out
another statement on diversity and inclusion. Better put out another
statement in support of you know, multiculturalist rhetoric or whatever

(11:21):
it is. Right, Better put out another statement corporate policy.
And then people are working. Those companies have to sit
around and mouth the preferred slogans of the cultural Marxist
you know, yes or okay, yes, ma'am, okay, say whatever
they're told to say, like a bunch of brainless robots
that just want to keep their jobs and keep their
healthcare and their paychecks. And I get it, but this

(11:44):
keeps happening, and we keep turning around looking at each
other and saying, we're half the country. Why can't we
stop this? The other side doesn't live through this. Why
do we have to We need to wake up, folks.
The time to do something about this is now. Here's

(12:06):
Governor kemping in place. Sixteen. It means cancel culture and
partisan activists are coming for your business. They're coming for
your game or event in your hometown, and they're coming
to cancel everything from sports to how you make a living.
And they will stop it nothing to silence all of us.

(12:30):
They are happy to silence all of us. That's the goal,
that's the purpose. See on the right. Because we believe
in free speech, the free exchange of ideas, we understand
that there's something lost when there's no space for political
discussion that is free, fair and open. We also understand
that there's something lost when there are places that can't

(12:51):
be by nature free of politics. And we used to
think of sports as a place where that was largely true.
I know people will talk about Kareem of Little Jabbar
and Muhammad Ali and other you know sports superstars who
have taken very political stances at different times, but Generally speaking,
we think of sports as something where you could sit

(13:12):
down and have a conversation as a Republican or a conservative.
You could sit down and talk to, you know, your
progressive neighbor about you know who, who's gonna win the
Stanley Cup this year or who's gonna win the Heisman? Right,
I don't know. I don't. I honestly don't really care
about this stuff at all. So I'm increasingly not meaning

(13:33):
professional sports and also college sports too, So I don't
pretend to know much about this. I'm I've disconnected from
it for many years now. But the point is you
used to be able to talk to people about this,
and there was some sense of common ground, there was
some shared understanding, and it didn't always devolve into a
political food fight. Now it you'll talk about politics first.

(13:54):
In the context of sports. You'll speak about how you
know NBA players are taking a knee or NFL players
are doing something during the Pledge of a sorry during
the National anthemo Pledge of a legions. But they're doing things,
and that's what comes up before anything else. Because the
progressive left feels like it's just a long string of

(14:18):
victories on this issue. We either raise the cost and
fight back, or we keep losing. It's a once in
a generation investment in our economic future, a chance to
win the future, paid for by asking big corporations, many
of which do not pay any taxes at all, just
to begin to pay their fair share. And it won't

(14:39):
raise a penny tax. And a family making less than
four hundred thousand dollars a year no federal tax. No addition,
Joe Biden wants to tax corporations more. Now, if you
listen to the leftist rhetoric, you'd think that corporations will

(15:00):
be automatically incensed by this, and that they would be
strong supporters of the lower tax Republican Party. But that's
not happening at all. In fact, big corporations are fans
of big government. They're largely controlled by They are generally
now a constituency of the Democrat Party. I'm talking about

(15:20):
the mega corporations. They're very top not all companies, but
places like Amazon, Google, Facebook, Delta, major League Baseball. You're
going on the whole list. And I didn't even mention
this before. Major League Baseball should lose it's antitrust exemption.
Major League Baseball in a state like Georgia should lose
it's any tax breaks that it has, or Delta Airline

(15:42):
should lose tax breaks for example in the state of Georgia.
That's what should happen. They companies should know that if
we're going to punish people based on politics, politics is
going to punish them back. And then you'll understand this
is this is very straightforward. This is about power dynamic
in our society. So we can ignore it and keep

(16:03):
keep just taking her on the chin, or we can
say that this is enough and people are saying, oh,
but what can I do? I've already told you. Do
you support do you support private corporation? Do you support
companies that are out there selling products that will defend
your values that stand with you? Companies like the ones
that advertise on this show, but on other shows too.

(16:24):
You know, when when you see when you see commercials
on Fox News, if you're a Fox watcher, are you're like, Okay,
that's that's a company that's standing with Fox. So I'm
going to support them because they're going after Fox advertisers constantly,
They're going after radio advertisers constantly. So it's very easy,
in fact, to show that you care about this, and

(16:46):
you're and you're showing you care every day. You have
choices to make every day that are either helpful or
not helpful with regard to protecting basic freedom, free speech,
and the right to have your beliefs respected by corporations,
by companies just in the free market in general, or
in the market as we know, the markets never really

(17:08):
free in this country. But that's another conversation. But why
do big companies not get up? So why don't they
turn on Democrats over this one? Biden saying he wants
to raise the corporate tax rate going forward, It's because
they will find ways. They have armies of accountants, and
they have the kind of political leverage to get things

(17:28):
like a special statewide or even national tax break. They
have the influence to live by a different set of rules.
And so what ends up really happening is that smaller
companies upstarts challengers, people that want to go up against
the incumbents. They end up squashed by the regulatory pressure,

(17:54):
by the additional cost, by the additional taxes. They end
up hurt by these government policies and regulations, and government
gets more revenue looking like they're standing up for the
little guy, when really they're actually just crushing the middle
guy for the benefit of the guy on top. That's
what's really happening. That's what will occur with the Democrats

(18:17):
passing their their attacks proposal going forward. And then there's
just also the way this bill and Georgia continues to
be lied about it. I mean, it would be one
thing if this was a really contentious area of politics.
You know, if Georgia had just passed let's say, a
statewide ban on abortion or even a ban on abortion,

(18:43):
you know after the first two terms of the pregnancy,
which something like seventy Americans would agree with. But anyway,
if Georgia did that, that would be treated like, you know,
end of Days, the biggest fight of all time. And
you could see how it gets very political. They're acting
like and it's because people like Joe Biden are reckless

(19:05):
and shameless liars. They're acting like, what's happened in Georgia
is a law that prevents minorities from voting. That's what
this is racist. They've said. Jim Crowe two point zero.
I mean they're actually referencing I mean, the Jim crow
laws are named for a minstrel show character these were hideous,

(19:27):
inhumane laws put in place after the Civil War to
prevent black people from having their their rights. I was
gonna say, their full rights, having really any civic rights.
They're comparing this law to that. Biden said, it's Jim
Crow on steroids. It's worse than literacy tests, segregated housing,

(19:49):
segregated transportation, you know, separate waterfounds. It's worse than that,
Biden says. Think about how crazy that is. Think of
out how recklessly and just disgustingly unfair and untrue it is.
This is the president. I'm not talking about a few

(20:11):
random people on the internet or have a YouTube show somewhere.
This is the president of the United States, and he's
lying about this that much, you know. But then again,
this is the president who said about Mitt Romney quote
gonna put y'all back in chains and quote. We all
remember that. That's what Joe Biden said when he was
vice president, and it was disgusting. Well, what does the

(20:33):
law do. I've I've went I've gone through this with
you once or twice before on the show and in
some specifics. But it says you need voter ID for
absentee ballots. Okay, well, you need voter ID to vote
in person, so voter ID for absentee ballots is racist. Well, no,
we've all the Supreme Court's already looked at. Voter ID

(20:54):
in person is legitimate, universally applicable, a necessary component of
voter integrity measures. I have absolutely no problem with it,
and I think it's necessary, and go beyond having no
problem with it. And they say that you can't bring
water to people, You can't bring food and water to
people in line? I mean, is anybody really going to

(21:15):
starve or die of dehydration because they wait on a
voting line for an hour? First of all, it's not true.
As you know, they can have food and water one
hundred and fifty feet if you're that hungry. It's completely
legal for people to hand out sandwiches and you know,
potato chips and soda whatever they want one hundred and
fifty feet from the polling station, and the polling stations

(21:35):
themselves can distribute water to people, which is fine. But
yet they still go around lying about this, They still
go around pretending that this situation is different than it is.
Why do they do that, Well, because they're reckless, Because
they benefit from it. Because the Democrat Party right now
wants to put Republicans on defense for racism while they

(22:00):
completely steamroll political norms, have a border crisis. Are talking
about the elimination of the filibuster and a massive transformation
of the economy. We don't need a transformation of the economy.
We just need to let the economy get turned back on.
We need government to get out of the way with

(22:22):
these unbelievably stupid continued lockdowns and all this stuff that's
going on right now still to this day, we need
the government to stop doing those things. But no, instead
of just allowing us to go back to life as
we know it or had known it before the pandemic,
they're using this as a crisis for the massive transformation

(22:43):
of America. And the way they're covering their tracks as
they do this is by getting us to be at
each other's throats over racism in a law in Georgia
that is not racist. You know, there's a quote often
misattributed to Winston Churchill. Any Churchill quotes on the internet
are fake, and there's a lot of other fake quotes

(23:05):
to you know, like Abraham Lincoln telling you don't believe
everything you read on the internet that quote. But there's
the fake Churchill quote, but it's still a good quote
about how a lie gets halfway around the world before
the truth has a chance to put its pants on.
Churchill never actually said this, but people will put it
out there on the Internet anyway. And I understand it's
tough to know quote attribution. But there's the President Franklin Roosevelt,

(23:30):
Secretary of State Quartell whole did write, a lie will
gallop halfway around the world before the truth has time
to pull its breeches on. So that's a real quote,
a real attribution versus the much more famous Churchill one
that he didn't actually say. Plus Churchill would have never
said pants. Keep that one in mind. He wouldn't have

(23:51):
said pants, brit But you see this with the way
that the way that people are talking about what's going
on in Georgia. It's there are just so many lies
about it. And when you're talking about blatant, objective lines
like this, you wonder how could this continue? Well, it's
because of all the pressure of all the incentives, the

(24:15):
incentives to continue to perpetuate these lies. And I'm telling you,
if you've tried to share your political opinions on social
media lately. You know, it's really hard to have an honest,
forthright conversation. But now I've got a place where you
can actually speak the truth and share your thoughts. Caucus
Room dot com. This is a social media network exclusively

Caucus room dot com. That's the Buck Sexton listeners group
at caucus room dot com. The seventeen days is not
enough early voting, well, Stans. By the way, Staceremans was
in New Jersey, in my state, praising Phil Murphy this
week for a voting law where New Jersey early voting

(26:02):
is nine days, half half of what Georgia is. Yet
she's on TV in New Jersey. I saw it myself,
saying that this is one of the greatest voting expansion
bills we've ever seen. But this is Jim Crow. I'm sorry,
George doesn't make anyh Yeah, Chris Christie's making a good
argument here. I know a lot of you like Chris Christie,
but he's trying to make a comeback, or at least

(26:23):
a media comeback. It's amazing. Now. I used to be
I think that people wanted to go into the media
so they could become politicians. Now people become politicians so
they can be media stars. But anyway, Chris Christie pointing
out here that early voting in Georgia, I mean, there's
no good faith in argument here from the lap of
this is racist and evil and Jim Crow, I mean,

(26:43):
they're just it's a smear. It is slander, purposeful political slander.
And I keep saying of the state of Georgia, but
it's of Republicans in the State of Georgia. That's what
this is really all about. And because of the history
of the State of Orgia, which does have a very
troubled history, because if Democrat enabled legalized racism, by the way,

(27:07):
starting you know, right after the well stretching back obviously
from well before the Civil War, but going all the
way up until the Civil Rights era. Because of all
of that, this has a particular resonance right now when
we talk about it. But let's actually look at this
for a second. If it's if it's racist to have
whatever it is, nineteen days of early voting in Georgia,

(27:31):
isn't it a lot more racist only of nine days
in New Jersey? If you look at Delaware, Joe Biden's
home state, a Blue Democrats state, and you look at
their voting laws, Georgia is far more permissive and far
less restrictive. Is the term of art here. Restrictive is
the word that keep using to talk about this, but

(27:53):
that's very that's intentionally meant to convey an impression without
getting into the details. Because if you look at what
other states actually have in place, there are many that
are Blue Democrats, states that are far more restrictive than Georgia.
So how is it fair to call Georgia that? But
this is these are word games, word games that are
very powerful, word games that serve the purpose of the Democrats.

(28:17):
But they're meant to intentionally mislead you about what's really
happening here. They're meant to show you a different reality
from what's really playing out before your very eyes. And
that is the opening. Then, because they've created all of
this noise, it's the opening for these corporations and to
pile on as well. And then it becomes a movement.

(28:39):
They have mobilized a Lynsky style. Doesn't matter what was true.
The allegation creates the mob mentality of a need for
people to do something about the thing that doesn't even
exist or isn't even real. But once the mob is
out there with pitchforks and torches, so to speak, looking
to make an example of the cam or storm, the

(29:00):
bastie or you know whatever, Right, once the people are mobilized,
you got what you want. They're angry, You tell them
who to attack, You tell them who to go after.
That's what ends up happening here. And corporations get in
on it too. As I've told you, I believe there
has been a major shift in some of the most

(29:21):
well known American companies out there, some of the most powerful,
wealthy companies out there. It used to be that they
did these things because they were afraid of boycotts. Now
they're effectively weaponized against Republicans in the GOP because the
people in charge believe this stuff that's part of the

(29:43):
transformation that's happened here, or they believe it enough that
they're willing to go along with it when they think
there could be some short term benefit from it. You know,
I hate the idea of boycotts. I hate the idea
of politicization of sports, even though I think professional sports
is full of overpaid cry baby snap who Now not
all of them. Don't tell me, oh Buck, but I
love sol and sir, I love my team. That's fine.

(30:04):
I'm speaking generally, but you know this, to be a
professional athlete in America, to be playing a kid's game
and paid millions and millions of dollars to do it.
What a what a rarified? What a special thing that is?
You know, while most people show up at jobs where
they make maybe enough money to pay very basic simple

(30:28):
bills to live in you know, an okay place. You know. Well,
while most of America is just kind of trying to
keep their heads above water, some people, often who are
quite genetically gifted, are able to make millions or tens
of millions of dollars for doing something that the rest
of us think is fun. And yet they complain about

(30:48):
this country a lot, now, don't they a lot of
complaints about what a what a bad country this is?
In fact, we have you know, Rapino the female professional soccer.
But I mean women's professional is boring. It's just boring.
You can like it, that's fine. A lot of people
think that conservative talk radio is boring or crazier or whatever.

(31:09):
Fine they're allowed to I'm allowed to say women's professional
soccer is not a good product. And I'm not alone
in that because not a lot of people watch it,
because it's just not very good. I mean, if you
really want to watch soccer at about that speed. Go
watch your local high school teams play and you'll see
about the same speed. And I mean that, and I
coached high school soccer, so I have some idea what

(31:31):
I'm talking about. You'll see about the same speed. And
yet you have athletes who are seizing on the female
professional soccer players, who were seizing on the politics of
the moment to say that they're not paid the same way.
I mean, this is all very straightforward. We understand why
they're not paid the same amount of money, right, but
we're supposed to forget that now, because what otherwise you'll

(31:54):
be attacked. You'll be attacked by this mobilized, woke mob, right,
They'll come after you even for something as obvious is
that the fact that somebody could be played, is that
somebody could be paid to play any professional sport as
a gift, and they should view it as such. But that, honestly,
women's soccer players, you know, make the money they do
is pretty remarkable. Just say it. And without the men's

(32:18):
leagues creating essentially an incubator for the infrastructure of women's sports,
I also have to wonder when are we just going
to have why not just have co ed co ed sports,
all all across the board. This is what the left wants, right,
I mean, I don't want this. I think it's crazy,
But why not just have all all co ed sports.
We'll see, we'll see how many women are playing in

(32:39):
a co ed NHL. But you see what they'll do
is they'll say, oh, but we shouldn't. And by the way,
I know this is crazy, right, women can be amazing
athletes in their sport, you know, and competing against their gender.
I'm trying to explain what the left, what the left
just mentality is going to mean, or should mean if
we take it seriously, we mean we we eliminate gender

(33:01):
gender separation of sports. And what that will also meet
is that you will have basically no women on professional
teams where they're judged by ability to put points on
the board or you know, to catch or to run
a certain distance in a certain time, whatever it may be.
But we're supposed to forget about all that. Now. We're
a country that seems increasingly like there's a there's a

(33:25):
war on observation. You can't observe things that are very
clear to you, that are very straightforward, that are very apparent.
You're supposed to pretend you don't see what you see,
and that's all over the place. It's when we talk
about you know, women's women's sports and complaining about equal pay,

(33:47):
we talk about sp TWOO two in Georgia, what it
actually does versus what they're saying it does. When we
see these campaigns about you know, Asian American and or
what I can't AAPI. I don't even know what the
acronyms did. I've never seen this acronym until a couple
of weeks ago. But you know, it's something Asian Pacific
islander hate, um, you know, stopping the hate of a

(34:09):
API groups. And we're not supposed to notice that. They
only seem to really want to talk about that those
incidents wentn't involve somebody who is a white male perpetrator.
And that's not most of the cases you're seeing, is it.
But not a lot of talk about it, not a
lot of just say this is what I'm observing. You're
not even not even making statements of of you know,

(34:33):
empirical fact necessarily other than just this is what I've seen,
this is what I'm seeing. Can we talk about what
I'm seeing? No, you cannot talk about what you're seeing,
you will be canceled. You will be punished for that.
It's a war on observation. It's the cancelation of observations. Really,
what you're seeing, you say what they tell you to say.

(34:54):
Don't read the text of SP two O two in Georgia.
Just call it racist and anybody who supports it racist. Don't.
Don't spend your time actually learning it. Don't listen to
shows like this, Well you'll understand what's really happening. No,
you're not allowed to observe. You are told what to do.
This is the terrifying thing. There are a lot of
people who want to be told what to do. And

(35:17):
I know I could transition to maybe I will into
some mask talk here and what's going on with lockdowns.
But there are people who find tremendous comfort in being controlled.
There are people who would much rather have their lives
dictated to them than have to make decisions and have
freedom in a lot of these choices. I know that seems,

(35:39):
but just look at cults and look at out people
willingly turn over all of their decision making, all of
their powers of individual thought and free you know, free
minds and the free agency of the individual will no
interest in that stuff. Tell me what to do, tell
me who to bow before. Just as long as I'm

(36:02):
warm and fed and safe at the end of the day,
that's all that matters. You promise me, you'll give me that. Okay,
I'll do whatever you tell me. Way too much of
that going on in this country, that's for sure. Yeah.
But the one thing I took out of that piece was, Man,
I think most white people and black people are great people.

(36:22):
I really believe that in my heart. But I think
our system is set up where our politicians, whether they're
Republicans are Democrats, are designed to make us not like
each other so they can keep their grasp of money
and power. They divide and conquer. I truly believe in
my heart most white people and black people are awesome people,

(36:44):
but we're so stupid following our politicians, whether they are
Republicans or Democrats, and their only job is, Hey, let's
make these people not like each other. We don't live
in their neighborhoods. We're all got money. Let's meet the
whites and blacks not like each other. Let's make rich
people and poor people not like each other's. Let's scrambled

(37:06):
a middle class. I truly believe that, in my heart,
we are led to believe that there are institutions like
the media that are there to be a check on power,
when they're actually the handmaidens of power. They're the assistance.
They exist to be toadies for those in power, throne

(37:27):
shiners to those who are making all the decisions. And
what do those people do? The ones with real influence
in this country, they turn everyday folks against each other
with narratives like this with what's going on in Georgia
and how that has ramifications for the rest of the country.
You'll notice that there are people that talk so much
about racism, and they do it in a way that

(37:51):
always benefits their side of the political aisle, and it
never makes things better when they say things that are untrue,
when they exaggerate the state of racial division in this country.
In fact, you start to sense that there are groups
that talk about racism constantly who exacerbate racial divisions in

(38:11):
this country. I mean start to wonder. You start to
wonder Black Lives Matter, for example, is Black Lives Matter
dedicated to healing? Is it? Is it really dedicated to
bringing all Americans together on shared principles and basic human values,
or is it a lot of anger and resentment weaponized

(38:36):
for political purposes against the other in this case, anybody
who's not a part of Black Lives Matter, which overwhelmingly
falls along Republican and Democrat political lines. You see what's
said by these organizations, By these groups, I mean, when
is there going to be a real public discussion, a

(38:56):
real national conversation you could say about the fact that
we are We just came out of a year where
there were the most murders in the United States since
nineteen ninety five, huge spike nationwide in murders. Every major
city pretty much in the country had a considerable somehow
a horrific spike in shootings and murders. And it started

(39:22):
not with the pandemic. It started right around May June
of twenty twenty. What else started right around May June
of twenty twenty. Everybody, we all know the answer to that, right.
BLM cops are the bad guys. Cops are racist. There's
so much racism in this country that there's a justification
for mass looting and rioting, attacking innocent people. BLM as

(39:47):
a movement, would would have you believe that the destruction
of private businesses and even destruction of private homes, the
attacks on federal court buildings, attacks on police officers, local
and federal federal law enforcement. That somehow that's about combating racism,
that that's going to make this a better a better country,

(40:09):
a happier, safer country where we all get along. That's
not true. But the Democrats benefited from the movement. They
mobilized so many people on the base with the BLM
movement last year. Remember there was a BLIM movement under
the Obama administration, and then Obama, you know, was spent
all this time, you know, demagoguing about how the movement

(40:33):
had all these really good things about it, and you know,
we're really coddling these left wing ideas about how cops
are the problem, and these are ideas where people really
suffer horribly. I mean, families are ruined because of these ideas,
because you have district attorneys in places like San Francisco
with this guy a chessa Buddin or Boodin or whatever

(40:55):
who don't want to enforce the law against criminals, and
then law abiding, good people feel more scared, and then
the criminals feel emboldened and they do even more stuff,
and they get away with more stuff and they're innocent
victims of this. You would think, right, You would think
that maybe people would start to look at what's happening
with the attacks on Asian Americans that occurring in major

(41:18):
cities across the country under a Biden administration and ask
why is this happening now? Instead, they're desperate to tie
it to Trump. I mean, the intellectual dishonesty around all
of this is truly astonishing, but it's what they do.
They find a way to tie it to Trump. I'm

(41:41):
I'm concerned about whereld this goes because what's going to
happen is that the Democrats are not good at governance.
They're already showing us that. But the border crisis and
many other things Democrats in charge, whether it's Cuomo in
New York State, or you know Newsom in California, de
Blasio in New York City, you know the mayor of Chicago.

(42:03):
You see all these different Lory Lightfoot, you see all
these different politicians. Democrats. They ruin places, they ruin them,
they destroy them, and so then what happens is they
come into power with all these ideas, but all the
great stuff they're gonna do, but their ideas that overwhelmingly
have been tried before and don't work. And then they
turn around and then they say they find a way

(42:24):
to blame other people. What's the best way to do that,
going after narratives of resentment and division and turning people
against each other who aren't actually making any of these decisions, right,
Charles Barkley's right. The people in charge and this is
much more common and much more reality with Democrat than
his Republicans. The people in charge use race as a

(42:46):
cover for what they're actually doing to the country. They
use racial division for their own purposes, and they make
it worse, and they know they're doing it. We wanted
to ask Governor to Santis about the deal, but he
climbed our request for an interview. We caught up with
them south of Orlando. Public says, you know, donated one
hundred thousand dollars to your campaign, and then you rewarded

(43:09):
them with the exclusive rights to distribute the vaccination in
the first of all, what you're saying is right, that's
a fake narrative. I met with the county mayor, I
met with the administrator, I met with all the folks
at Palm Beach County, and I said, here's some of
the options. We can do more drive through sites, we
can give more to hospitals, we can do the publics.
And they said, we think that would be the easiest

(43:31):
thing for our residents. But Melissa McKinley, sixty minutes caught
in a smear. We could play the rest of that
audio for you. Sixty minutes didn't on purpose because gummer
to scientists when look at the way the sixty minutes
reporter goes after him, didn't you do this? Didn't you
get one hundred thousand dollars from publics? And that's why

(43:52):
you'd now Descientist has done a better job of vaccinations
than other comparable states in terms of size. So first
of all, the results, Desandist has got better results, better
economic results, better vaccine results. Desantists has put on a clinic,
while all these other Democrat governors of big states are idiots,
all right, Cuomo Newsome, Governor Murphy in New Jersey running

(44:15):
for cover because they're clowns and we believe the science. Yeah, sure,
you do, good job, morons, And they're coming after the Santists.
He had better results, and now they're saying, well, let's
put the results aside. Let's just look at why your
results are better, because there's some corruption involved here. You know,
how you got to the results is the problem. One

(44:37):
hundred thousand dollars donated to a pack by Publics grocery
stores in Florida. So let's be very clear here about that.
By the way, that exchanges from a few weeks ago.
But sixty Minutes just came after him last night and
is trying to make this case that there's something there's
something wrong here with the vaccine rollout. Essentially, it's a favor,

(44:58):
it's pay to play favor for donors to Ron De Santists.
That's the that's the basic allegation, and this is absurd.
Desantist goes into some detail about it. First off, CVS
and Walgreens were given the vaccine to distribute to seniors
before Public's got anything. So the first people to get

(45:21):
something weren't even I mean, the first company to get
vaccine distribute wasn't even Public's. Okay, start with that. Their mission,
to Santists explains, was to get it to seniors as
fast as possible. One thing you won't see a lot
of people talking about is that while the case numbers
in some places have gone up considerably, like New York,
gone down in Texas in the last month, but gone

(45:42):
up in New York, deaths overall over the fourteen day
average are still going down. This is what should have
been expected all along. This should have been expected all along,
because if we get vaccines to seniors, we are going
to cut the death rate from this virus dramatically. Based

(46:05):
on the numbers, we can all see it, all right.
If you are if you are over seventy, this is
a very dangerous disease. If you are under fifty, it's
not I just had it, folks, I just went through it.
It's uncomfortable, you don't want to get it. But if
you're under fifty, it's not a considerable risk unless you

(46:26):
have some other health condition that you're adding into this,
unless you have some extreme obesity and diabetes. But overall,
and we're making overall decisions here about public health, it's
senior citizens who were at real risk, and senior citizens
have gotten vaccinated in great numbers. In Florida. I think

(46:47):
they've gotten seventy five percent of seniors. Now I've gotten
at least one dose, so dissentis is winning. You know,
he's doing a good job. But they're saying that he
gave it to publics and that means that somehow there's
corruption here. Now. I don't live in Florida, but my
two brothers have moved there because they hate New York

(47:07):
so much because of what's gone on here and publics.
There are eight hundred public's grocery stores in the state
of Florida. So he already rolled it out to Walgreens
and CBS for seniors and then to get it and
while they were focused on that mission, then to get
it to people as quickly as possible in the rest

(47:30):
of the population. Right, So he had a focused mission
focused protection on seniors in Florida, which is the most
important thing by far, because that's who dies from COVID,
really seniors. So he goes after that right away, which
is the right move. I mean, this whole thing about
getting twenty five year old public school teachers vaccinated, it's shameful.
What oh this is litle scared it Give me a break.

(47:52):
Every senior should have gotten vaccinated before any frontline worker
other than healthcare workers who were dealing with people who
were sick with this every day. You know, you've got
public school teachers and it's not I'm gonna just pick
on them, because there are others, you know, public sector
employees do, but who are working from their couches, going, oh,
I need the vaccine. I'm thirty and I'm scared. You're
all you know, we've all got concerns about COVID, and yeah,

(48:14):
we all interact with people who also are older. But
getting the vaccine to those older people as soon as
possible is how you save them, not by spreading it
out among favored constituencies. And you know, in the state
of Vermont, they're straight up making it, making access different
based upon your ethnic group. This is disgraceful. It's not

(48:35):
even a little bit legal. But is that anyone going
to challenge it? Anyone gonna bring a federal lawsuit from
a Biden administration against what the state of Vermont's doing. No, No,
they are not. So. Yeah, your vaccine, your access to
a life saving vaccine in some places, is affected by

(48:55):
your race. That's what we've really come to as a country.
And of course if you're non white, you have better
access to it in those cases. In the case of Vermont,
you know that that's what we're told. That's the way
that it works. So back to Public's and the vaccine
situation here. I mean, they had some story about how, oh,

(49:17):
for some people in one poor part of Florida, they
had to go it's a twenty five twenty five miles
to Publics. They leave out that if you're a senior
and you really need it, there's a CVS or a Walgreens.
What is your local grocery, your local pharmacy or grocery
store where the pharmacy in it. That's Florida's a model

(49:38):
was get it to those places as fast as you
can so you can get it to people. New York's model.
I have a vaccine appointment in the Javits Convention Center
and this is being run by New York City, New
York State. I think I got it sixty days from
now at like eight am. That's what That's what I
have to deal there, And it was I had to
get my family member. My brother in law helped you

(50:00):
get online. But there's a mess. I can't walk to
my drug store on the corner and get it. They
can in Florida, but sixty minutes is there to suck
up to those in power to do their part, like
the sociopathic journal lunatics they are by attacking Governor Ron
de Santists because he's made a mockery of who the

(50:22):
journalistic establishment has been backing, what politicians they've been backing
during this pandemic. Who they've been acting like the heroes
are here. They're wrong, They're just flatly wrong, and so
now they try to cover it up, They try to
muddy up, try to dirty up Governor De Santists, because
it's not even just about the COVID narrative and vaccinations.

(50:45):
We all know what else is going on here. We
all know that there's a very real possibility that De
Santists could run for president in twenty twenty four and
would be formidable, especially given the economic renaissance that his
state is going through, the explosion of new business activity

(51:08):
and people moving there. I mean, heck, I'm thinking about
moving there, and I'm really thinking about it. I already
have two brothers. I got brothers that have lived in
New York their whole lives, never lived in another city
in their lives except for college, and they've both moved
there and they love it. I'm just I'm sitting here,
I'm just telling you the truth. I mean, it's it's
a it's a fascinating situation to see the journos saying

(51:35):
what they're saying about this, given the reality that's played out,
and given what Governor Ron DeSantis has shown us, they're
just trying to tear this guy down. And it's because
they were wrong and he's not their guy. And this
sixty minutes piece, you know, sixty minutes maintained a you know,
something of a reputation he or some kind of a

(51:57):
reputation for not objectivity, not being as gross as some
of the other journo outfits. But this was as bad
as it gets. And they look foolish, they look idiotic.
They cut out in the exchange they played last night,
they cut out Ron descent is explaining in detail. You
cannot hear his explanation. There are other prominent Democrat officials

(52:20):
in Florida who have said DeSantis is right, guys, this
is actually not what you're saying here about Public's wrote
one hundred thousand dollars check to a pack and therefore
that's why desantist gave them. This is stupid beyond words,
It's just not true. Now, some Democrat hacks are going
along with it, but there are some other Democrats who
are saying, sorry, guys, this is not a real thing.

(52:41):
But it's just a reminder that this is now. The
media is just warring propaganda machines. And you have one
side that has ninety five percent of the media real
estate to have their story told, and so they'll just
abuse it in a lie. And then you have other
have five percent, which is the conservative Republican side of
the news media, which I'm a part of, who's sitting

(53:02):
here saying, look at what's going on. I mean, we
are still in the grip of this COVID lockdown badness.
And it's in large part because the media went all
in on Fauciism, and Governor de Santists, thank god, was
willing to stand up against this and say enough, we're

(53:23):
not going to do this anymore. And we've seen the results.
Desantists was right. Lockdowns failed, the journals and the Democrats
were wrong. They're wrong. Now they never will accept this.
They'll never say, yeah, you know why, you're right, because
ultimately they think that they're just smarter than Republicans. That's
a huge part of this they're better people and they're smarter,

(53:44):
then they won't they won't let that go. They they've
internalized that falsehood in a way where that's that's intrinsic
now to who they are. I mean, it's just central
to their perception of self. But Desantists has made a
mockery of this just by doing a good job and

(54:04):
keeping his state as open as he could and saving
a lot of people, including a lot of seniors. Let
me say that at this time we really are in
a category five hurricane status with regard to the rest
of the world. At this point, we will see in
the next two weeks the highest number of cases reported
globally since the beginning of the pandemic. In terms of
the United States, we're just at the beginning of this surge.

(54:26):
We haven't even really begun to see it yet. We
have had over the course of the past a year,
surges of cases that occur in the upper Midwest and
the Northeast, and they subside. Then we see big increases
in cases through all the southern sunbelled states. Then it
subsides in the Northeast and Midwest, come back again, and
we're now I think in that cycle where the Upper
Midwest is just now beginning to start this for a surge.

(54:49):
And I think it was a wake up call to
everyone yesterday when Michigan reported out eighty four hundred new cases.
And we're now seeing increasing number of severe illnesses. I
see you hospitalizations individuals who are between thirty and fifty
years of age who have not been vaccinated. Here's what's
going on, folks. You have the same voices that are

(55:09):
always telling us just wait two weeks, those same voices
are coming out now to say we are we are
on the doorstep of doom. Yeah. I think the actual
phrase used by Wilenski at the chief of the CDC
was I have this fear of impending doom. Now We've

(55:33):
got right now in the United States because I am
focused on what's going on in this country before any
other country. Of course, right now in the United States,
we have I believe, yes, eighteen percent of the country,
according to the the New York Times, fully vaccinated, and thirty
two percent of the country has at least one dose.

(55:55):
You've had an eighteen percent uptick in cases in the US.
This is as of today, eighteen percent uptick in cases
over the last fourteen days, So there's been a new
case spike, but you've had deaths go down. Okay, deaths

(56:16):
go down twenty three percent over that same period. This
is what we should have expected to happen at some
level where you have you have the people who are
at risk who because of vaccinations, there are fewer of
them getting it, which means even while cases go up,

(56:39):
deaths go down, cases and death should be going up
side by side. Right Doesn't that make sense? You know,
if you have one hundred new people who get the
who get the virus and two of them die on average, well,
then if you have a thousand new cases, right then
you should have at least twenty people who dies. But
how is it you can have a thousand cases but

(56:59):
you have only you know, three people die? Well, what's
going on? And I'm making up the numbers there, But
just to illustrate the point, it's because the people who
are at risk of dying from this are getting vaccinated.
So this is actually a showing us a good thing.
This is showing us what we should expect to happen
here as more and more of the at risk population

(57:21):
is vaccinated and were we had two hundred and seventy
seven deaths as of April fourth. You look at for example,
that that's nationwide. On January twenty first, we had four thousand,
one hundred and thirty five deaths. So what's with all
the panic? Oh, the rest of the world, the rest

(57:42):
of the world, Why are they doing this? We've gone
from four thousand deaths a day in January to two
hundred and seventy seven deaths yesterday. But do you get
the feeling that they're willing to, like, let their little
let they're just reezy, little little bureaucrat fingers off you,

(58:04):
off your face, right off the mask on your face.
Do you feel like they're they'll finally just stop. No, No,
they're turning up the panic. You see, they're turning up
the panic. And it's just it's disgraceful. It's disgraceful because
it's not root of the numbers. I told you and
that some of you will remember this guy. I very appreciative.

(58:26):
I have so many of you listening every day. I
told you now it was I guess it would have
been in the beginning of March. I told you that
we would revisit in six weeks. The Texas Mask Mandate
and the end of the Texas Mask Mandate, we would

(58:48):
revisit how things are going, and we would actually look
at this. And I said, if I'm wrong, I'll admit it.
But I'm telling you right now, Texas cases, dat's hospitalizations
will continue to go down even after the Holy Mask
Mandate all the Mask mandate, right cannot get rid of it.

(59:10):
Even if the mask Mandate goes away, which it did,
cases will still go down. Did what did Biden say?
Neanderthal thinking bids a moron? But you know what did
Biden say? Neanderthal thinking? What did Faucio? You know, without
the measures and the mitigation, you know, we're not going
to be in a place where we know we could

(59:31):
hit a plateau, and when the plateau goes up or down,
that's no longer a plateau. You know what ended up happening.
I told you we revisit it in six weeks. It's
been four weeks. Anybody want to guess cases in the
state of Texas about down forty percent? I think it's

(59:52):
thirty seven or thirty eight percent is the number that
I saw, But let's call it forty percent down. It's
Neanderthal thinking. But cases are down forty Do they ever
have to account for this? Does anyone ever hold them
to account for their stupidity, for their wrongness? No, of
course not. Never, never happens. Now they're saying, this is

(01:00:14):
what I love. They say, oh, who, but the mask
mandate's gone, but some people are still masking, and the
cities are still having a mask mandate and some businesses. Okay,
you can't have it both ways, though. You can't say
the elimination of a statewide mask mandate is neanderthal thinking
that will kill people and it's all Republicans fault, and

(01:00:36):
then a month later say, well, actually, a mask mandate
at the state level doesn't mean anything. You're wrong on
one count, right, You just got to pick which one
if you're saying that stuff. But I told them we
revisit it. We are forty percent down. Once again, the
Fauciite consensus was appallingly wrong, because that little that little

(01:00:59):
jerk is the worst, most ineffectual bureaucrat in the history
of the universe. One of my big frustrations has been
that there's been no real debate over the measures taken
to suppress COVID nineteen in this country. It's just do
what I say, right, That's what faucism is. It's I'm
an expert. There's science. Listen to the science, right, as

(01:01:20):
if that's a thing, it's something you can just invoke
to shut down discussion. That's not the way it should work.
But it's what has happened in this country. And it's
really frustrating to me because these people have been wrong.
They've been wrong over and over again, and yet they
have no consequences for this whatsoever. They don't suffer consequences.

(01:01:43):
You do. Your business might be gone, you have freedoms
that are shut down, may not even be able to
gather together with family members, depending on where you are
and what you're trying to do. This is just outrageous.
It's Unamerican, deeply unamerican. What's happened. And the social media
companies have been pushing this all along. I mean, they

(01:02:05):
have been at the forefront of making sure that we
can have free and open debate. They hire these bs
fact checkers. It's nonsense. So censorship on social media sites
is very real, and the left is trying to remove
any voices that don't agree with the Fauci consensus or

(01:02:25):
any left wing interest area. For that matter. So instead
of letting social media sites continue to abuse you in
this way, why not revoke their right to your data?
Because these free to access sites like Facebook make all
their money by tracking your searches, video history, and everything
you click on, and then they sell your valuable data.

(01:03:27):
com slash buck. To protect your data today, so chose
explaining us. Lady and gentlemen, This gathering is unfortunately lawful,
unlawful under the coronavirus regulations we have. Currently you are
not allowed to meet inside with this many people under
law At this moment in time, you need to go home.

(01:03:51):
Failure to comply with this direction to leave and go
to your home address ultimately could lead you to be
fined two hundred pounds or if you to give your
details to you being arrested. I suggest, ladies and gentlemen,
though it is quite as it is good Friday, and
I appreciate you would like to worship that this gathering
is unlawful, so please may you leave. What does fascism

(01:04:14):
sound like in the world today? You're a wonder about that,
what would actually sound because I think it sounds kind
of like that guy. I think it sounds like some
taxpayer funded bureaucrat in this case in the UK saying
I'm so sorry. I know that it's good Friday and
you actually believe you have a right to worship and

(01:04:36):
commune with your God and your religious community. But you know,
we have these bureaucrats and lab coats who are so
so so worried about you getting this virus, and they've
been so correct on everything, haven't they Except they're morons
and they're always wrong. But anyway, if you don't stop
worshiping your God right now, We're going to find and
maybe arrest you. It's just what is happening. Not in

(01:05:02):
authoritarian regimes, or at least regimes we would speak of
as such. It's happened in the United Kingdom. It's happening
here in America. We've had churches, churches and other religious
services shut down for months because of the Fauciite consensus.

(01:05:23):
I mean, what about just masks and social distancing. That's
not enough. That's not enough. No notice how they're they're
making judgments about risk and policy and health, but acting
like it's just science. I'm just listening to the science.
And it's even worse than the UK. At least here

(01:05:43):
we can complain about the infringements on our first amount.
At least here we can complain about the infringements on
our right to worship. They don't even have that in
the UK. It's just shut up and do what you're told.
You know, we've got we've got health problems, health consience here,
and so just gonna tell you can't be in Chech anymore.
We'll go home. They're shutting down a good Friday service, folks,

(01:06:04):
because of COVID. I mean what else do you have
to know about what these petty tyrants, these totalitarians are
willing to do this for a virus with a ninety
nine percent survival rate that's already ripped through the entire
Western world. I mean, I was seeing I saw an
analysis in the Wall Street Journal. You know, I've been

(01:06:26):
telling you things like this all along. Everyone says, all
there's thirty million cases. The the good faith estimate of
how many actual infections we catch versus the ones that
are tested and proven is anywhere from one in five
to one in ten right now, right, so, we got
thirty million confirmed, If we got one in five that

(01:06:50):
are that are actually being caught, that means, folks, that
we're at one hundred and fifty million. That means half
the country has already been infected. You understand that right now,
that's an estimate. But given they say forty percent of
cases are asymptomatic, wouldn't that make sense? Wouldn't that make sense?
Do you really think that everyone who's had this has
been tested that they've caught it? Of course not so.

(01:07:12):
Even if it's not even quite one hundred and fifty million.
If it's one hundred million people, this is considered success
in stopping this better this virus. If thirty percent of
America has gotten this, and think about how this has
been the case in so many other parts of the world,
think about what this is men in other countries too.
We've been led to believe we listen to the people

(01:07:33):
in charge, will be safe. That is a lie. They
cannot protect you. They have not protected you, and they
have completely stolen your freedom. They have infringed on your
rights under this false promise. It's appalling. It should be
ashamed of themselves, but they're not. They think that they're heroes.

(01:07:56):
I think they've done a great job well in Canada.
I mean I love this. This is a great video
and Canada over the remember this the holiest weekend of
the year for Christians, holiest weekend of the year, Good Friday,
Easter Sunday. And you had the leader of a church
in Canada who when the Calgary police showed up to

(01:08:18):
do a little inspection inside the church of you know
how many people are there because you know God forbid
that you want to gather, gather with your co religionists
and praise God on Easter Sunday. Here is how he
this church leader responded to Justin Trudeau's little fascist brigade

(01:08:40):
showing up to try to shut down a church because
of social distancings. If that's really saving anybody or anything,
it's all bull's. Here's how it went though, and we
could all learn something from this guy. Play one, Please
get out, get out of this property immediately. Get out.
Get out of this property, immediately out. I don't want

(01:09:01):
to hear anything out of this property. Immediately. I don't
want to hear a word out out out of this
property immediately until you'll come back with the warrant. Out
out out out out out of this property. Immediately out,

(01:09:24):
immediately go out and don't come back. Don't. I don't
want to talk to you. Not a word out of
this property. Out of this property, immediately out. I don't
care what you have to say out out out of
this property or Nazis out out. Get stopper is not

(01:09:47):
allowed here. Immediately, get stopper is not allowed out. Do
you understand English, Get out of this property. I love it, honestly,
I mean this guy. I want to send him a
thank you email just for the Catharsis of you know. Look,

(01:10:09):
and people will say, oh buck, they're just doing their jobs.
The cops don't actually have to show up and harass
a church service. They don't have to do that. They
could say they showed up and just you know, made
sure everything was okay, and they could leave. They don't
have to be parts of this fascism. They don't have
to do it. But this guy understands, Okay, no, no,
you know, good faith, no, no, decency from the other

(01:10:32):
side has to be responded to in the harshest possible terms.
Don't give them an inch, don't give them any leeway.
They've already pushed way too far. You want to come
in here, it's private property. I need a warrant, I
need a court order. And by the way, they may
go and get them, because that's where a bunch of

(01:10:52):
psychos they are about COVID. But go get go, get
your court warrant. You're you're not actually allowed to come
in here. Sorry, you're not welcome in this church, fascist thugs.
This is the only this is the only way this stops.
You know. Fauci just said recently that they're gonna they're
hoping that maybe you can get rid of your masks
in some congregate settings by the end of the year.

(01:11:15):
By the end of this year, you're we're masking a
ball summer all fall, end of the year, maybe they
could stop it, or even some places, as I've told you,
that won't happen. They say, end of the year. Do
you really think they're not going to move the goalposts
on this? They say end of the year. What do
they really mean next summer? Not this summer? Coming up?

(01:11:37):
Next summer? At July twenty twenty two, people will stop
being you know, little babies clinging to their masks. Mask.
He's gonna save us. It didn't save you, It hasn't
saved us. What else do they have to see? The
mandates haven't worked. I just want to know what do
they really think? And we do lose something in this process.

(01:12:00):
I mean, it's degrading. It's humiliating that a government authorities
told me I have to go go put a stupid
little cloth mask on. That air is going up. I'm
below and I'm breathing in you know, whatever's in the
air around me. But I have to put this on
or else I'm gonna be fined or arrested. People think
this is okay, this is normal, This is insane. A

(01:12:22):
hundred years of pandemic planning, one hundred years of medical
research know how in science was abandoned in a moment
of panic a year ago, and we have not yet
come to grips with that. The public health authorities in
this country did not know how to protect us, did

(01:12:42):
not know what to do, did not have an answer,
And social media and big tech and the Democrat Party
all leverage this for political purposes and for the purposes
of their own control, to terrify the population, all right,
to terrify people into compliance, and to shut down voices

(01:13:03):
like mine who have been saying, hold on a second,
can we think about this, Can we speak a little bit?
Can we talk a little more about this before we
just decide that we're going to accept whatever is put
forward here as though it's gospel, as though it's truth. No,
they wanted it all shut down, do what they say
or else, and they're not willing to give up that power.

(01:13:25):
That must to people that really believe in state control.
This must have been an incredibly intoxicating experience. It has
been for Democrats. Well, look, I guess I should be flattered.
People are coming because I'm the nice guy. That's the
reason why it's happening that I'm a decent man, or
however is phrased that you know, that's why they're coming,
because no, Biden's a good guy. Truth of the matter is,

(01:13:48):
nothing has changed as many people came. Twenty eight percent
increase in children of the border in my administration, thirty
one in the last year of nineteen before the pandemic.
In the Trump administration. It happens every single solitary year.

(01:14:08):
It's not true what he's saying, or rather he's being
disingenuous as he says it. He's misleading you. They're setting records.
I mean, this would be like saying, oh, there's a
legal immigration ever all the time. Okay, yeah, but there's
more now there ever has been before. When it comes
to unaccompanied miners. You're setting records. Biden, you're number one, buddy.

(01:14:29):
When it comes to open borders, this and this is here.
Here's such a big part of this. Democrats want open borders,
but they don't want the responsibility of having to advocate
for it and defend it openly. They want a facto
open borders. People want to come here, they can come here.
We still have laws, but the laws aren't really enforced.

(01:14:50):
The laws aren't really taken seriously. That is their decision,
that's what they want. That's what's really happening, and it's
why you have all this bizarre messaging from the Biden administration.
It just doesn't really seem to make sense. What is
the Biden administration trying to tell us that this is

(01:15:13):
the same as it always is, that nothing is going
on in the border. Really, this is just business as usual.
I mean, we're not that dumb, right, they understand this,
But that's what their messaging has has had to resort to.
That's the kind of stuff that's being said to me.
Here's the secretary of DHS may york Us on the
Biden administration refusing to recognize this as a crisis. Doesn't

(01:15:35):
like that word play eighteen. So it's a secretary. The
administration seems to be sort of haggling over a language.
It's not a crisis. Some have called it a challenge.
Why not just say flat out what's happening on the
southern border is a crisis, Jonathan. We're not haggling over language.

(01:15:59):
We're focused on mission, and that is securing the border.
And the border is secure, the border is closed and
that's what we're focused on, and I will not use
language that is not applicable. We have dealt with surges
in migration at the border before. We have a plan.

(01:16:22):
We are executing our plan. We will succeed. We know
what to do, we are doing it, and that is
the fact of the matter. I mean, that's just a
bunch of bull, right, we all get that. Oh no,
we're just focused on results, but we're not focused on language.
That's not true. They've been playing word games here all along.

(01:16:42):
They've been very dishonest about what's happening at the border
because they don't want the general public to understand just
what a mess, just what a disaster it has actually become.
And so they do something and they tell you the
exact opposite it of what it actually is. Right, they

(01:17:04):
kick the border wide open. They remove the necessary protections
for the border that the Trump administration put in place
to stop as serge. Just like this, they remove that stuff,
and then bad things happen. The Democrats turn around and say, oh,
but you know, this is just the way it has
to be. This is this is us fixing things. Wait

(01:17:27):
what you broke it? You're not fixing it. We're living
in the upside down world. Friends, We're living in a
place where where there's just no there's really no value
placed on truth. That does not help the agenda. If
if the truth or if the facts, if the information

(01:17:48):
as it actually is does not advance the Democrat narrative
of what is needed in this country and who needs
to be in charge in this country, it gets cast aside.
They just do not care. They just don't care. I mean,
here's I meant to get this before. Here's Kaylee mckinenny

(01:18:10):
over Fox News talking about the comparison that should be
made all the time now, not just at the border,
but on state policies with regard to COVID about what's
happening in California versus what's happening in Florida or New
York in Florida. And we've we've run an experiment now
as a country, the states or laboratories of our democracy, right,

(01:18:31):
we've seen what different states have done to deal with
this pandemic. Here's what that's actually resulted in. Play nine. Yeah,
Governor DeSantis is exactly right as he has been all
throughout this pandemic. You know, we've seen this modeled for
the last year, the freedom model of dealing with the pandemic,
which is embodied by Florida and Ronda Santis, and then

(01:18:52):
the coercion control model embodied by Governor Newsom of California.
I'm Governor Cuomo of New York, and look who turned
out to be right all along? The freedom model allowing
people to live their lives without mask, mandates without owners,
regulations and lockdowns that go on and on and on,
closing churches, and now this vaccine passport. It's just another

(01:19:12):
way to control the American people. It's absolutely wrong. It's
antithetical to freedom, it's antithetical to the American way. And
good for Governor Descantists for recognizing it. And yet who
are they attacking in the media. Who are they trying
to make into a villain during this pandemic? Well, of
course the Republican The results you see don't really matter

(01:19:35):
to them. They don't care what the results are. It
does not matter to them how many people were saved
by the Descantists model versus what they did in New
York and California. What matters is whose team is helped
by this, And if Team Democrat is helped, then it's great.
If not, well, then they take the opposite They take

(01:19:58):
the opposite approach, and it's it's a sad thing to
see at a time when you'd think that a country
would come together in facing a common enemy here which
this virus is a common enemy. Instead, it's been used
to divide us and turn us against each other. And
the lies from the establishment, the lies from institutions that

(01:20:18):
are supposed to be supporting and helping us deal with this,
are unforgivable. Unforgivable. The mainstream media should never recover from
what it has done during this pandemic. Have we reached
a tipping point here where all of a sudden, more
and more people in the GOP are going to realize
that we can either be in a two way boycott

(01:20:41):
war or a one way fight, but those seemed to
be the choices. We'll get into that and also some
updates on HR one, which the Democrats are desperate to
make into law if they can. Our friend Pedro Gonzalez
is with us now. He's a senior writer at American Greatness. Pedro,
great to have you, Oh, always going to be on book.

(01:21:02):
So let's start with the MLB boycott note from the
President that camp former President Trump rather that came out
over the weekend. Do you do you think that this
is something that the people are are starting to change?
You know, on the right, we have this we don't
boycott even if the other side does mentality that's not

(01:21:23):
working out so well for us right, And it's not
clear to me that that mentality is actually the mentality
of your everyday American who votes Republican, or if it's
what the let's say conservative intellectual class wants to wants
to make them believe. So that's not clear, and it
would actually be interesting to dive into that and see

(01:21:44):
what the what the reality is. My suspicion is that
everyday Americans, being common sense people, understand that if a
company is actively doing things that hurt me or that
are harmful to what I still consider the American way
of life, than it stands to reason, then I'm just
not going to I'm not going to give them my money.

(01:22:05):
And it's always been bizarre to me that you have
these let's call them activists or adiologues or pundance whatever,
who who will militantly say no, we don't boycott. That's
something that the socialist left does well Ironically, that helps
no one more than the so called socialist left, because
it's very clear now that most of the country's biggest

(01:22:29):
corporations back so called socialism. I mean, the you know,
we can debate over whether it actually is or is
on socialism, but I think it's very clear now that
the biggest corporations in this country support the left or
they pay lip service to the left, and they're very
much aligned with the Democratic Party. You can you can
get receipts for this, right, Biden had more billionaire backers

(01:22:51):
than Trump did, so there's no debate about that. And
like you said it, we're not winning with this bizarre
mentality of we basically we can't fight back, because that's
what's saying you can't boycott really means is you're not
allowed to fight back. You have to continue patronizing these
organizations that are trying to destroy you. Do you think

(01:23:12):
that corporations have have they gone more woke because of
the social media pressure that's brought on them? A Well,
how do we get to this point where where what
you'd think of is these Well, first of all, I
think Coca Cola's CEO is a British guy, right, But
you think of these great American companies out there, you know,
these these brands that we all know, and they're they're

(01:23:35):
now taking political positions that are in line with what
the the average MSNBC viewer might think. How did we
get to this point? I think this has been actually
a long time coming. And it's funny there there was this,
you can call it a publicity stunt, but Ralph Nader
sent out a letter to the CEOs of the of

(01:23:58):
the I think the twenty largest co operations and asked
them if if they would agree to stand up at
the beginning of their annual shareholder meetings on the behalf
of the United States, which you know they have built
their fortunes on, say the pledge of allegiance. And the
mixture was actually the response mixture was really underwhelming. Most

(01:24:19):
basically on balance, most of the CEOs of America's biggest
companies either did not respond or a couple of a
couple of them were actually indignant by the request, like
they basically compared it to loyalty oats that you would
have in like like a fascist country or something like that.
And this was in the nineties. I think, so this
has been actually happening for a long time, And as

(01:24:41):
far as the woke aspect, I think that it woke
in our minds as a very specific meaning, and I
think we associate with black lives matter, which is correct.
But as far as being kind of like left, I
think that this is also nothing new. Corporations, especially like
the agricultural industry, have for a long time. I'm supported
things like mass immigration because mass immigration means cheap labor.

(01:25:04):
Cheap labor means bigger bottom lines. Who cares what it
does to the American worker, right, It's all about that
bigger profit. And I think the same is true for
things like even affirmative action. Since the nineties, we've known
and probably even before that, that actually corporations were huge
fans of affirmative action because what does that mean? More

(01:25:24):
bodies in the workplace, bigger bottom lines, more productivity. So
I think it's just kind of really bubbled over to
a point where we can't ignore this anymore. Literally, when
you have people rioting and burning down stores at homes,
and you've got Facebook, Apple CEO, and Amazon, all these
huge corporations saying we stand with plaque lives matter as
they're burning down Mom and pops across the country. We're

(01:25:47):
speaking of Pedro Gonzalez. He is a seer writer for
American Greatness, and Pedro I have to wonder what is
what is the what is the Republican Party? I understand
that we're Republicans are out of power right now, what
does it stand for right now? Well, what's the case

(01:26:08):
that we're really making. It seems like we complain about
the overreach of the left sometimes, but we don't really
come out with, well, what are we going to do?
Right And I think that there's an ongoing identity crisis
in the GOP, and you've got a few guys that
I think are trying to go in a new direction
and test new waters, like Rhonda Santis, maybe to an extent,

(01:26:31):
Josh Holly, But I think the Santis is kind of
in the lead here, even if he doesn't want to be,
and if he doesn't see himself as doing that, I
think just by by his actions, that's kind of where
he's positioned himself. But I think that the GOP establishment,
these these legacy institutions and actors, they want to continue

(01:26:51):
being the party of big business, which is obviously a
problem because big business doesn't really I mean, obviously the
Koch Brothers, people like that and entities like that are
still aligned with the GOP. We also give money to Democrats.
But I think you get what I'm saying here. The
GOP's is nonetheless in this weird position where they want

(01:27:13):
to continue being the party of tax cuts, the party
of kind of avoiding hot button social issues by framing
them as economic ones, like the transgender sports issue. You know, well,
we don't care what transgender people do. They compete in
sports as long as the government's not subsidizing it somehow.

(01:27:34):
So the GOP wants to do this, but it's just
impossible to avoid this problem now where one corporations are
doing what like Delta and the MLB have done, which
is openly signal against GOOP policies, going even further and
saying these are racist policies, these are in other words,
these are evil policies, and then also basically doing things

(01:27:57):
that are really offensive to the GOP's base. And so
again the Republican Party is it's almost like Stockholm syndrome,
like there's a large part of it that just cannot
get over. It's and I think there's obviously a lot
of money involved here. I think that's that's probably the
most important point. But the GOP is having a really

(01:28:18):
difficult time figuring out where it's going and what it
stands for. Do you think, and we're speaking to Pedro
Gonzalez is a senior writer at American Greatness. Pedri, do
do you think that we've really come to grips with
what did and did not happen in the election and
also what did and did not happen under Trump? In

(01:28:39):
the sense that you know, I have people who they'll
they'll say, well, Trump kept all of his promises, and
I say, look, you can make a case that Trump
did some really really good things, and I have made
that case, but he definitely didn't keep all of his promises.
And I worry that right now. I mean, just to
my earlier question to you about what is GEOP right now,

(01:29:01):
that there's this sense that any moment now Trump is
going to kind of emerge from Mara Lago exile, and
you know, all this MAGA stuff will come back and
that will be the opposition. I don't know. I don't
think that's going to happen. But also I don't know
if that would work the way that people think that
it would, right. I agree, And this is difficult for

(01:29:25):
a lot of people, and a lot of people who
are well meaning and understandably because the field is bereft
of champions. They put a lot of hope in Trump
and they still have that hope that he's going to
come back like Napoleon from exile or something, but maybe
with the same results. Right. And I think it's important
too for these people to follow the money because even

(01:29:51):
with Trump, this is true, especially with Trump, actually don't
just listen to what like Trump is saying, don't listen
to what people that are you know, identify as MAGA
are saying. Really pay attention to what Trump has been
doing with your money, because that is I think a
good metric for results, right. And I've written about this.

(01:30:13):
There's another even more recent story about this. Basically, a
whole lot of money has been raised by the Trump
Project through his own political action committees and through joint
fundraising projects with the RNC, and basically a lot of
money was raised on, for example, overturning the outcome of
the election after November, but it looks like on balance,

(01:30:37):
a lot of that money actually did not go to
anything election related, and instead it kind of vanished as
payments to friends, family, allies paying down campaign debt. Actually
a lot of it looks like a significant amount of
the money that was raised after November third to litigate
the election results actually went as refund to Republican voters

(01:31:03):
Trump supporters who unwittingly were enrolled in recurring donations, so
they realized that a five hundred donations ended up being
thousands of dollars because the fine print said that if
you donate once, you're actually going to get signed up
for recurring donations. And when these people would go through
the complicated process of demanding a refund, the money that

(01:31:24):
was raised to stop to steal actually went to subsidizing
the cost of those refunds. And so I think this
is a real indictment of the whole Trump project and
how it ended. And again, this matters because these are
people that you know, these are not wealthy people. These
are like middle income, lower income people that gave money
to Trump because they expected results and they didn't get them.

(01:31:48):
And I think that this is probably something that the
most important way to have this conversation is, Look, he's
saying what you want to hear, but is he actually
doing what he says he's going to be doing, especially
with the money that you give and so forth. The
answers now, and I think that we all need to
be very honest about what the other side is doing
to us, on what our own side is doing too.

(01:32:08):
I think there's not nearly enough of that these days.
Check out American Greatness. Our friend Pedro Gonzalez continuing to
write their American Greatest dot com. Pedro, thanks so much
for joining me and great to have you on. Oh
thanks again, Buck. Tell you what. I've read a lot
of memoirs. I've never read a memoir like this one before.
This is Hunter Biden's book Beautiful Things, that comes out

(01:32:28):
on Tuesday. It is extraordinary. You know, you've heard about
Hunter Biden over the years. You've heard all the tabloid
coverage of Hunter Biden. You think to know his story.
We tell that rightway. Media is obsessed with him, Fox
News always targeting him. And there are real questions to ask,
concluding about that laptop that CBS is probing, that CBS

(01:32:49):
asked Biden about in an interview that's airing today, in
airin again tomorrow. But this book, this book about addiction,
about how many times Hunter Biden could have died the
president's son. It's breathtaking. I mean, brian'stlter is the most
servile little turred in media. Right. It just let's where

(01:33:11):
I don't want to be mean. I think it's just objective.
This is the most amazing bablada. There are questions about that.
There's no question about the laptop, jackass. It was this laptop.
We all know it, all right, I mean, it was
amazing watching he did some interviews as pressed for this book,
which he's gotten, you know, seven figures for for Entrebad
for his book, and they're going, you know, well, is

(01:33:33):
that your laptop? And he goes, oh, I don't know, really, really,
you don't know if someone has access to everything on
your laptop, including intimate photos of you, you can't tell
me if that's really your laptop or not. Yeah, maybe
the Russians stolen, you know, I don't know. I mean,
you know, maybe Aliens landed, who knows. But it's an
amazing stories. Really, I'm not here to just k water

(01:33:55):
for Democrats and the humid as the President's clearly very
good upset that this is the guy that they told us,
This is the guy that Democrats, we're all looking at
s goom you the Brisbane didn't give him money because
they were trying to buy influence the president. Oh he's
a lawyer, he's a smart guy. He sure, sure. Yeah.
But the thing that I think got the most attention

(01:34:16):
here is that Hunter Biden claimed that he smoked crumbs
of parmesan cheese, thinking that it was a crack. I
believe he smoked parmesan cheese. This is this is Joe Biden.
So now, look, addiction is a very serious problem, and
it's it's devastating families who have it, and it's you know,

(01:34:37):
it is something to take not only very seriously, but
also to have some some real sympathy for. But Hunter
Biden is not shying away from the public eye. That
Hunter Biden's not some guy who's just trying to go
to treatment and you know, be away from all this.
This is a guy who's trying to cut international deals
with the Chinese and with the Ukrainians and the Russians

(01:34:58):
so you can be a multi multi millionaire, and he
is a millionaire. This is a guy who is leveraging
Daddy's connections, and Daddy's supposed to be representing you and
me when he was vice president and now president. Isn't
it remarkable this Joe Biden's I know he's president, and
I know this is almost this feels like it's it

(01:35:20):
can't be true. Joe Biden's a loser. I don't care
that he's president. I don't care that he was vice president.
I don't care he's a senator for decades and decades.
This is a guy. He's just the best that lasted, right,
He's just the guy who stayed around longer than everybody else.
And in a sense, I mean, the inspirational part about

(01:35:41):
Joe Biden is that you two can be a deeply
unimpressive mediocrity. But if you have no principles, you stand
for nothing, and you just say exactly what you have
to say to play the system, maybe you two can
be president. You know, maybe you can reach that point
in your career you meeting anybody, right, anyone can be
If Joe Biden can be president, anybody can be president.

(01:36:04):
You don't have to be successful, you don't have to
be smart, you don't have to be good or anything.
You just have to be a slimy guy who plays
the game. That's it. It's it's amazing in a sense, right,
I mean it's it isn't only an American situation. And
then his son, who you know this guy? I mean,

(01:36:25):
he's got a kid with a stripper out of wedlock,
and he's got the crack and he kicked out of
the millet. I mean, such a mess. He had a
he had a sexual relationship with his dead brother's widow.
He talked about here. I mean, this is getting really weird,
friends or we understanding. This is Joe Biden's kid. Can
you imagine if one of the Trump children was in

(01:36:51):
a similar circumstance to this, I mean they they were
desperate to try to find a way to throw one
of the Trump kids or all the Trump kids in
prison if they could. I mean they the Democrat media
was so insane if they could have found a way too.
And then they did attack on a personal level, Trump's
baron son, Baron right, he was like a barely a teenager.

(01:37:15):
I think when the administration started, a twelve or thirteen
years old. Maybe they did find ways to attack him,
and they would lock up Ivanka or Jared or Donald
Trump Junior, even Eric in a heartbeat if they could,
and feel really justified in that they'd feel like they
had done a great thing for the country if they

(01:37:35):
could lock them up. And yeah, here we are looking
at this and seeing what a disaster. I mean, Joe Biden,
he's got a dog that bites people. I'm sorry, it's
true the dog now a second time, it's got a
dog that bites people. All right. The guy can barely
walk up a flight of stairs. Sometimes it seems like
he's almost eighty years old. His son Hunter is a

(01:37:56):
complete disaster in a mess. Who is yet some still
a millionaire? Has made millions of dollars. He's clearly paid
by Bisma as a way to try to get you know,
get daddied at least be on their side as a
kind of insurance policy. That's obvious. Media pretend that it
wasn't obvious. And it just feels like we're living in

(01:38:17):
a in a bizarro world where this is the first family.
Really the Bidens remarkable. The show ain't over yet, folks.
It's time for roll call, all right. Facebook dot com,

(01:38:39):
slash buck Sexton or teen bucket, iHeartMedia dot com. If
you want to be a part of the roll call,
please do send us your thoughts. Also, if you're not
already following me on Twitter, on Facebook, on Instagram, please
do great to hear from you there. And yeah, man
producer Mark. We know we had a little Producer Mark
happy birthday on Friday. Do you have any any birthday

(01:39:02):
tails from the weekend to share with us? Just a
lovely time spent with my wife and a few friends.
We were able to order it in habachi, which one
of my favorite foods, and my wife got some cupcakes.
It was very fun. Habacchi Is that the Japanese steak?
That's when they cook it in front of you? Right?
But is that is that? Right? Is a Japanese thing

(01:39:23):
or a a Korean thing? Is it Koreans Japanese? Yeah? You've
never gone to abacchi restaurant before? H once a long
time ago. It's been a long time. Oh, it's fantastic.
They cook the food in front of you. It's either
steak or chicken or shrimp, whatever you want. It's delicious,
very nice. So you went out to a place, No,
we ordered it in but normally ordered it so they

(01:39:43):
didn't cook it in front of it. All is the
same food as when they cooked in front you. Do
they send you like a video, you know, they city
a little YouTube clip of that. They should send a
video of them making it. Yeah, yeah, but all right,
well I'm glad it was glad it was delicioso. Anything else, No,
that's it just very low key, not quite the same
birthdays as when we were in college. Book and how
old this producer mark? For everybody listening, just so they

(01:40:04):
know he's twenty eight. He is not, in fact fifty five, guys,
he's twenty eight, just so you know, people really think
I was that old. Some of them are thought you
were a little bit older. Man. I know I have
a deep voice, but still yeah, some of them think,
you know you're you're grouchy. Ways puts you a couple
of checks. I do act like I'm sixty five. Yeah,
but I mean I get I've always I've always been
an old soul, so I get it. And I was

(01:40:25):
always like, knock off all that noise. You know, I'm what,
I'm fighting a one man war against unnecessary noise. Always.
I will tell you I went. I went to get coffee.
The first time I really emerged from my apartment after
having had COVID for ten days. I emerged. I went
to a coffee shop in the corner, and I go

(01:40:46):
in there, and and there's somebody who is there's a
few people in there, and there's somebody who is having
a conversation on speaker phone, like a loud conversation, like
they put their phone down, the tap up in front
of them in a public place on speaker phone, so
we can all hear what the other person saying. This is,

(01:41:06):
This is savage. This is not the way we do things.
Producer Mark. What are people forgetting all their manners because
of the pandemic. Yes, actually it's not because the pandemic.
People did that well before the pandemic, and it's gross.
The other thing that I see people do, and I
really do understand this is they will they will take
a they will have a kid with the what do

(01:41:31):
you call it the tablet, you know, iPad, and they'll
be playing video games on their iPad without headphones on.
Like to begin with, restaurants aren't really for having iPads
in your hands. But if it keeps the kid quiet,
I can kind of tolerated, you know a little bit,
if it the kid needs this to be quiet. Although
what does that say about some of the parenting situation.

(01:41:52):
I'm just putting it out there. But beyond that, you
gotta have headphones. I mean, you gotta have headphones. I
don't understand why people think they can make all this
noise and all this is acceptable. So I once had
that behind me on a plane and I immediately said
something before we took off because it was a six
hour flight. Yeah, it's horrifically rude. It's horrifically I don't
want to hear someone else's video game or or movie

(01:42:14):
or cartoon or what. I don't want to hear acted
shocked when I asked him to put on headphones. Yeah,
people are total savages, have no have no sense of
manners whatsoever. So I'm with you on that one man.
So for me, over the weekend, the only excited part
of the weekends. I finally got to see um My,
Except finally got to see Tallulah, and I got to
see my little nephew Ryan, who's very, very cute. He's

(01:42:37):
now a little he's like a little when they're a
little infant, you know, they're so small and delicate. Now
he's turned into like a chunk. You know, he weighs
like twenty pounds. Because I guess he's six months old
or so. And you know, he's like a thick little
dude and he's a lot of fun. He smiles and
laughs and stuff. When you you know when because when
they're really young, you know, you kind of just you

(01:42:58):
feed them and keep them clean, and they don't really
you know, the baby doesn't really interact. I have not
spent much time with babies before. So this is my
first experience with someone with a baby, really getting to
know my nephew. So there's that, which is fun. I'm
with you there. I've never held a baby or been
near a baby really, so I get it right. So
all this baby stuff to me is kind of new.

(01:43:18):
So I've got this little, tiny, little tiny baby. He's very, very,
very cute, though he likes to grab on pretty hard.
He's got these little pudgy fingers. And he grabs my
beard now and likes to pull on the beard. And
you know, I'm not gonna tell him. You know, you
can't pull all the beard. He was a little guy,
So he pulls on the beard sometimes. That is what
it is. But that was the highlight of that, and uh,
you know, pretty much, I wish I could say this.

(01:43:41):
I am going to go to the gym that I
haven't felled up to go into the gym since I've
had COVID. So I'm gonna go back in today. And
that's always a humbling that's always a humbling experience. You
go in the gym and you go, oh, okay. So
this is gonna be a not an easy situation. But anyway,
I'm gonna get back into it. Folks, gonna get back
into it. Let's get to your thoughts in roll Call.
We'll kick it all off with Darryl. He writes. Since

(01:44:03):
Joe Scarborough is so concerned about the behavior and choices
of others impacting him and his family, I wonder if
he holds himself to the same standard. For example, when
he drives his son too that baseball game. I surely
hope he is a body by all legal speed limits
and properly signaling all turns. I hope he isn't driving
distracted by yapping on a cell phone. Further, I hope

(01:44:23):
he got a full eight hours of sleep the night
before to avoid any danger of driving drowsy and not
being fully alert. I also hope he strictly maintains his
vehicle in top shape, so there's no risk of mechanical
failure on the road. Failure to do all these things
and more would surely endanger those around him, and by
his own logic, why should any of us be subjected

(01:44:46):
to risking our safety by being in the presence of
a driver like him shield type Yeah, Darryl. I mean,
first of all, the Scarborough point that I was really
digging in on at the time was that he is
so vicious toward people that have questions about whether they
should get the vaccine, all under the assumption that it's
Trump supporters, those idiot Trump supporters, when the greatest, the

(01:45:07):
greatest pockets in the country of real vaccine opposition tend
to be concentrated in the minority community, and particularly a
lot of black and Latino folks, but particularly a lot
of Black Americans in the pollings suggest that they have
a problem with with the vaccination or you know, they

(01:45:27):
don't basically that they are concerned about they don't want
to get vaccinated. And yet Scarborough trashes Republicans who being
its and you know, oh, they're so stupid they won't
because he's a because he's a jerk. I mean, I
don't know what what it even motivates that guy at
this point, you know, it blew up his family and
someone else's family that they get married as co host.
I mean, the whole you know, the whole thing is

(01:45:51):
really what what what keeps that guy just being just attention,
money and attention. It's also empty at the end of
the day, isn't it. Dave hey Buck, Please ask producer
Mark why I should continue to pay twenty five dollars
a month to watch my Cubs when they're pulling the
All Star Game from Atlanta because of a completely reasonable

(01:46:12):
vote for fair voting laws. This is getting out of hand.
We now have Lebron chiming in. I try to like
and respect him, but he's so wrong about everything that's
going on right now. Yeah, Lebron James's politics are awful
and not rooted in a fair understanding of the world
as it is or America as it is. So there's that,
and it is to me a little whiny and babyish

(01:46:36):
for a lot of these professional athletes, not just Lebron James,
but to act like they're standing up against all the suppression.
Now they're celebrated, celebrity multimillionaires in their lives are pretty
amazing and they're really really lucky. But what's this with
twenty five dollars a month to watch my cubs? Mark?
What's he talking about? Oh? Well, I assume he's an

(01:46:57):
out of market fan and has to pay for the
subscription service to watch the out of market games. Oh.
I didn't know that was a thing. Yeah, So, like
if I lived in Florida, MLB has a thing where
you can subscribe for a monthly fee or a yearly
fee and you get all the games twenty five dollars
a month. That's expensive. It's probably a little cheaper than
the one on cable that's the streaming service. So the

(01:47:19):
cable package probably it's probably a lot more expensive. I
mean twenty five dollars. You can you can subscribe to
HBO all a card I think for like thirteen or
fourteen dollars a month. Well yeah, but baseball is based
baseball baseball. It's every day. So yeah, there we go.
Well we'll see, uh, let's see what we get here.
Kyle rides Buck here's my response of progressives who are

(01:47:42):
pushing the COVID passport. Can't get a COVID passport without
get without a COVID vaccine. Can't get a COVID vaccine
without an ID requiring IDs is racist, Therefore COVID passports
or racist. Kyle, I know you are applying the logic
of the left, uh here and and you're correct in
your application of it. But remember they don't care that

(01:48:04):
they have double standards because they don't aspire to universally
applicable principle. They just want to have the power to
do what they want to do, so they want to
treat people differently based on what they decide. Right, they don't.
They're not even trying at this point to say, yeah,
you know it's voter ID in general is acceptable or

(01:48:27):
unacceptable for all purposes. They're saying, we want it when
we want it, we don't want it when we don't
want it. End of story, end of discussion. That's how
they view it. Getting a new here with Dave Buck.
I've been saying for the entire duration of the Rona
that it has been a control thing. As you constantly say,

(01:48:50):
Fauci is an idiotic troll that's drunk on power. It
feels that the American people won't stand for another fifteen
sixteen months love the show, Agree with pretty much all
your take shields eye. Well, David, if you agree with
all my takes, you're obviously a very wise, well informed fellow,
So thank you for that. And yeah, I think people
don't really fully yet comprehend how much Faucism is going

(01:49:14):
to linger. Like here's what I can tell you. I
have a very high confidence in this state of this
assessment that Fauciism is not going to get turned off
like a light switch. There's not going to be some
day at which they go, Okay, let's go back to normal,
you know, let's go back to a world where we
don't have to wear masks and we can do what

(01:49:36):
we want to do. We can go where we want
to go. You know, I was thinking the other day
about about how I would love to go to a
beach in the Caribbean for a weekend. You know, I'd
love to take the snow Princess. I'm thinking about doing
this suit and I'm looking to do it. I mean,
I was actually getting ready to do it. Just get
away for a week and I'll go to Theahamas for
a weekend or go to you know, Jamaica for a
weekend or something. Because flights, right, you can get flights

(01:49:58):
for one hundred and fIF the bucks or something, so
the flights not that much. You go place for three
or four days, find a nice place, maybe even do
an airbnb. Basically go away for a Caribbean weekend for
under a thousand bucks. You could do that right now,
you know, which is for a vacation. It's pretty nice.
I mean, it's pretty expensive compared to what it would
usually be. And everywhere I want to go, there's all

(01:50:21):
this oh, you have to test negative three days before
submitted to the health system, you know. And and then
this is for Barbados, for Jamaica, and for Virgin Islands
at Versa in Lucia, for all these different places, which
if you're an East coast or this is from the
West coast, you go to Hawaii much more easily, or

(01:50:42):
maybe you go down to Mexico much more easily if
you're the center of the country obviously Mexico, maybe on
the East coast, you know, the Caribbean tends to be.
It's about the same flight you'd have to go to
Florida from New York. And all these places I want
to go to, they have all these rules. And here's
the thing, Yeah, I think I'll test negative on my
PCR before I go, But they also have tests that
they'll do when you arrive, and if your PCR is positive,

(01:51:05):
they're gonna mandate, They're gonna make you mandatorily quarantine for
fourteen days. I can't. I can't go away for two
or three days what I think is like a long
weekend basically, or even just a weekend somewhere, and be
told that you have to stay in your hotel room
for fourteen days. I can't do it. I can't risk that.
I mean, I don't think it's that high, but these

(01:51:27):
PCR tests and I've had COVID so there's clearly virus
shards in my system still, so I can't take that risk.
Though this is crazy, this is crazy. I should be
able to show up if this is really based on
the science, this is really based on what's true, I
should I should be able to show up with proof

(01:51:48):
of a positive COVID test from thirty or sixty days
before I'd say, see, I'm immune, leave me alone. But
now even vaccination is not enough because vaccinations aren't perfect.
We've fallen into this totalitarian mindset where because something isn't perfect,

(01:52:11):
that means it it's not one hundred percent. That means
you have to live your life like it's a reasonable fear.
That's crazy, that's crippling. I can't guarantee any of you
listening to this that you will not get hit by
a car if you cross the street. I can't guarantee
you that today or tomorrow or any day. Can't guarantee it.

(01:52:33):
Does that mean that you're never going to cross the
street again? I mean, I don't know. You know, it's
about protecting you if it saves one life, right, that's
the mentality. That's what has happened during COVID. We've gone
to this zero risk mindset, which is totalitarianism. It's it's
completely unacceptable and it's destroying us. All right, continuing, I'm

(01:52:56):
a roll call here, we get Danny. Sorry you got COVID.
I was in the bubble for a while, but one
ahead and took the job. As my online friends in
the United Kingdom would say, so far, so good after
my first viser shot after two rough days, stay well,
my friend, and get the hell out of New York.
If you want good Carolina pulled barbecue pork, look for
the Lexington style next time. You're hear but my vote

(01:53:19):
for the best barbecue is for Kansas City. As a
fifty four year old who grew up on Long Island
and moved around, I never knew Brooklyn had good barbecue.
I'll have to look into that next time I visit
the family. Oh and Shields High, Well, thank you, Danny.
I've had Kansas City barbecue and it is quite delicious.
I will say that Kansas City does have some really
good barbecue. But yes, as much as they are a

(01:53:40):
bunch of left wing hipsters with awful politics, Brooklyn does
have good barbecue. It is a true thing. There's actually
New York City has some really good barbecue places now,
not with the same authenticity and regional flare and variation
you'll get in other places. But if you're just talking
about can you get really good pulled pork, really good

(01:54:02):
brisket with a delicious sauce barbecue style, the answers, yes,
you can get that in New York, So it does
exist here. I know people don't necessarily like to hear that,
but it's true, Linda hey Buck, like you, my husband
and I both had COVID. We have no idea where
we got it. We obeyed all the mandates, travel as
much as we wanted. Finally, just last month, we both

(01:54:25):
got it. My husband tested positive, and since I also
had symptoms, I didn't test because I didn't want the
state's Panic numbers to go up. I did take an
antibody test shortly after and tested positive. For those, we're
with you. No one who has had COVID or vaccinated
should have limits on their freedom. Actually no one should,
but one step at a time getting out of this mess.
Our son is a D one hockey player. Their team

(01:54:45):
quarantine three separate times this season. The Liberal school never
bothered with anybody tests or the whole team individually quarantine
three times, all while the players got tested every day
for seven months. I am beyond frustrated over all of this,
as you are. My other young son is a Navy officer.
A mother son is a young Navy officer and pilot training.
They have all kinds of crazy COVID rules, none of

(01:55:06):
which makes sense. The morale of the troops is in
the tank. Linda, I'm glad you and your husband are well.
God bless you and your family. Thanks for writing in,
and yes, the COVID madness needs to end. But We're
a long way from getting out of this, friends, even
as the numbers keep going in our favor more tomorrow,
Please pass the buck. Tell somebody about this show who
hasn't heard of it, doesn't listen, should join US. Shields
