Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're in the Freedom Hunt. Thanks for listening to The
Buck Sexton Show podcast. Get the latest from Bucket buck
Sexton dot com team. Welcome to the Freedom Hunt. This
is the buck Sexton Show. Missed you over the weekend,
Excited to be with you now. Just a few stories
that we're gonna hit today. Another athlete turns her back
(00:21):
on America shooting in Time Square, Democrats trying to blame
the GOP for defund police, and Biden backtracks on his
backtrack on infrastructure. We'll get to all of that and more,
and that'll all be coming up. And make sure that
you give this podcast a like if you can, if
(00:41):
you give it a rating, if you can post it
to your Facebook. Let's continue to pass the buck everybody,
and it really does help if you will give a
rating in the Apple podcast store. Tell people to give
it a listen. We want to continue to grow as
we are every month. But I've recently had a situation
where I wanted to get something fixed with a business.
(01:02):
They had sent me well the wrong size and I
needed to get it changed. So I thought I was
going to have to sit on customer service as you
usually do, and give them your order number. A bunch
of times, but actually no, I was able to do
it all through text messaging thanks to Podium. You see,
Podium is a messaging platform for your business and it
(01:24):
helps you reach your customers wherever they are. Think about
how straightforward this is. You get something and you need
to have an exchange, or you've got a question. You know,
you want to know what the ingredients are or what
software is compatible with it or whatever. Instead of having
to sit and wait on a long phone call, you
can actually just text message somebody. But it's a game
(01:44):
changer for your business, all right. The Podium will help
you adapt to these changing customer expectations because I know,
whenever I find that a business can text, I'm going
to use that business and it's more convenient for me.
So you've got to try Podium for your business. RPM
Alamo says they increased their business by twenty percent, and Tony,
who's an owner of our PM Alamo, said, we've generated
(02:07):
more revenue, decreased vacancy rates, and pulled in more leads
we could have in multiple years. It's priceless, all right.
Find how you can get Podium for your business today
to reach more customers and just improve their overall experience
with your business. Get started today at podium dot com

(02:28):
dot com slash buck. When Barry not a name that
I'm sure you were particularly familiar with before, but you
certainly if you've been opening websites on the news or
you've been reading the newspaper, you see who she is now.
And she's an athlete who decided she first of all,
(02:50):
she's a hammer a hammer thrower, and she said that
she was displeased that the US national anthem was being
played when she was on the podium getting the bronze medal,
not even the gold medal in the hammer throw event. Now,
let's just all be very clear the hammer throw was
one of those events then if it went away from
the Olympics, nobody would even notice. I mean, this is
(03:11):
not exactly packing the crowds into the stadiums. Barry then
turned her back to the flag, covered her face with
a T shirt with the words activist athlete on it,
and she said the timing was a set up by
the event organizers and disrespectful to her. And they say,
USA Track and Field says the anthems actually played once
(03:35):
a day according to a preset schedule. And Barry, no surprise,
is a big activist and activist, and that's a term
that we know increasingly just means a left wing community
organizer with Marxist leanings, if not open Marxist sensibilities and desires.
(03:55):
So it's just the whole thing is one of these
moments where I'm torn because on the one hand, I
want to just say, all right, well, who cares? Are
we doing the wrong thing? Are we doing the wrong
thing by giving attention to this athlete? I mean, am
I doing the wrong thing by sitting here and talking
(04:15):
about it? But I think that that would miss something,
miss something very important. If this were a one off,
if this were just a moment in time, probably say, okay,
we could skip past it. We don't have to dive
deep into this situation. Why give more attention than is necessary?
(04:36):
But this is really part of a much longer trend.
As you know, there are a lot of people out there,
and Colin Kaepernick, of course, is one of the most
famous among the athletes, but there are many who have
taken a knee during the anthem, who have done things
that are intentionally meant to show their displeasure or even
(04:57):
disdain for America. All right, this is this is where
we are. I think it's important that we're all honest
about this now. I think it's important that we all
speak the truth about it. There are a lot of people,
there are a lot of people who despise America because
it is what I now say is a fashionable mental
(05:20):
illness on the left. It doesn't come with negative consequence.
It's quite the opposite. Among a lot of folks. It
actually means that you're going to be heralded, You're going
to be you're gonna be praised, Your career will improve,
your prospects, your ability to earn a living, all these
things will get better. And that's something that we have
(05:42):
to understand. How do we get to this point? How
do we reach this phase where now we have people
in this country who not only first of all, have
the absurd belief that they should hate America, but beyond
that that they are benefiting from that hatred. Right, they'd
like to act like this is a the the martyr
(06:05):
standing up for what is right. They want people to
believe that this is an act of bravery, but it's
actually an act of self congratulation and self advancement. The
people who do this, I mean, Colin Kaepernick is a
great example of it, but there are plenty of them.
There are plenty of athletes, of celebrities. I can't even
(06:25):
think of all the actors and actresses off the top
of my head who will talk about how, you know,
America is a fundamentally racist place, and we have all this,
we have all this atonement that we must engage in.
Some people would sit around and say, well, hold on,
I didn't do anything, and they'll tell you, well, if
you push back on it and say that you didn't
do anything, that's just further evidence of how racist you are,
(06:47):
which is absurd. But this is the way that it goes.
This is where we are. So we're not really going
to remember, I think, for very long Gwen Berry for
this because, for one thing, just because she's a hammer thrower,
which is one of those very you know, it's one
of those track and field events that people just don't
(07:08):
get particularly excited about. But beyond that, you see that
this is all a part of a broader narrative, and
that's what critical race theory is all about. There are
a lot of people in America. When I say a lot,
I mean you're looking at a big chunk of the
American twenty to thirty percent, I'd say, who pretty actively
(07:29):
despise a lot of this place, a lot of America
and its history and some of our common common institutions
and beliefs. And they really do think that there should
be a radical change here, and they want to be
agents of radical change. They don't want anything to be
different for them in terms of being rich and influential
(07:52):
and all that. They're not willing to make sacrifices as individuals.
But the great part of being a collectivist or a communist,
a Marxist is that you can always come up with
ways to explain how you should still be really well off,
you should still have a lot of power. It's other
people who should pay the price. It's other people who
are the ones that have to pick up the tab.
(08:15):
And this is really a plague. I mean, this is
becoming so widespread and it's gone beyond just something that
happens in a lot of different areas of culture and
American society. There's now a benefit to it. You know,
corporations will often be afraid of taking action against somebody,
(08:36):
no matter how much they defame America, no matter how
much they upset the fans, so to speak. So instead,
what you really have is like a form of hostage taking.
Here people decide that they're going to make a name
for themselves by spitting on America, and then if you
call them out for it, you are the focus of
(08:58):
tremendous attacks by the least and corporate America will rush
to their defense. And why what is this other country?
I always want to ask this, Where are we supposed
to look for real leadership in the world? What is
the country that abides by leftist principles that America should
look to? Because they start to say things. You know,
(09:20):
they'll talk about maybe some country in Europe or maybe
somewhere else, and they're always deeply ignorant of what it's
actually like in that country, and also the social and
social justice issues that are present in these other nations.
But also you start to wonder yourself, so do they
really just want this to be a socialist country? And
the answers yes, the answer is yes they do. But
(09:43):
I do believe that enough people are seeing this for
what it is and are becoming increasingly furious at what's
really just babyish tantrums from leftists. This is what, this
is what we're seeing. Oh it's so hard, Oh I'm
so oppressed, so terrible here really compared to what and why?
(10:07):
Notice how it's so many of the people who have
succeeded tremendously as a result of this American experiment, and
they're the ones that then say, oh, it's so terrible
and oppressive here, and you say, well, hold on, look
at you, and they say, well, I'm here to speak
for the oppressed. Ah, okay, what do they do and
how will they make the lives of the oppressed better?
(10:28):
Which brings me then to the AOC effect. You know,
she's calling, she's calling what's going on in cities across
the country. Well, she says that the right is engaging
in hysteria around this, that conservatives who are talking about
the biggest increase in crime in twenty years are exaggerating,
(10:51):
they're being unfair, they're being reckless whatever. Hysteria is the
word that she used. And to this, I just I
just want to ask, Okay, we're supposed to ignore this.
I mean, the data is irrefutable. You can't look at
the data and say anything other than you can't say
anything other than this is getting really bad. But here
you go play seven. We are seeing these headlines about
(11:13):
percentage increases. Now I want to say that any amount
of harm is unacceptable and too much, but I also
want to make sure that this hysteria. You know, that
this doesn't drive a hysteria, and that we look at
these numbers in context so that we can make responsible
decisions about what to allocate in that context. Okay, yeah,
(11:37):
we shouldn't be hysterical about people getting shot in increased numbers,
about people being murdered in increased numbers, because a lot
of the country believes morons like AOC that's actually what happened.
But they don't want you to think that. They don't
want you to come away with that conclusion because that
would hurt their their power grab that would be a
(12:00):
oountability that they absolutely despise that notion. So instead it's well,
let's not get let's not get too hasty here, let's
not get ahead of ourselves. Oh okay, So I just
want to be clear if we have You know, George
Floyd is killed by a police officer and it is
(12:20):
a nationwide in fact, a global atrocity that we all
have to Now there are statues and murals, and it
sparked a political movement, all this stuff. But you know,
a thirty or fifty or eighty percent increase in shootings
in a major US city in one year, Yeah that
maybe that's just a few dozen people murdered. AOC wants
(12:40):
you to know, a few dozen families shattered forever, maybe
a few hundred. But you know, she's she's got big
plans for America. And it's really inconvenient for idiot leftists
who know nothing about law enforcement, who don't live in reality,
who live in this conjured version of reality that they
go on MSNBC to try to convince people of. It's
(13:04):
really annoying that there are things like numbers and that
the trend of the deterioration and crime across a desuration
of safety and security and the increase in crime across
the country has been as clear as it is and
has coincided directly with the rise of the BLM movement.
You know, they talk about systemic racism. BLM has created
(13:26):
a systemic rise in violence and shootings. It's actually systemic
because it has changed the way the system can function.
You have police departments being defunded, you have police tactics
and procedures being changed by their political overseers. You have
cops who aren't able to do their jobs or walking
away from their jobs. That's systemic, that's real, But you're
(13:49):
not supposed to paying attention to that. Stop looking at
the numbers. Stop worrying about all the shootings that are happening.
I also like how she does the yes but construct
there of okay, Like yeah, like I mean like every
shooting is like kind of bad, but like I mean,
let's not get crazy here. Like so there's like a
lot more shooting, like a lot more people being killed,
(14:10):
but like, you know, there's social justice and like we
really let's like do an Instagram live about social justice. Yeah.
People believe this, they watch this, and unfortunately they don't
realize that she's she's a reckless little idiot, and she
really is. Even other Democrats know it, by the way,
But she is in the left wing zeitgeist right now.
(14:33):
She's really a cultural icon on the left. And so
the fact that she's an ignoramus, the fact that she's reckless,
the fact that her policies, her preferred policies and the
way that she Remember this is all folks, A country
is really just a perception. It's all just a narrative.
It's just ideas, friends, and it can all fall apart.
This is what you have to remember. America is not
(14:56):
something that you can actually touch. It's the agreement, it's
the social contract. It's all of us coming together and
having certain things that you know, certain ideas and ideals
that we ambuye buy, and that we buy into. They
want to start kicking at that. You wonder how long
how long the foundations will hold. It's a question worth asking.
(15:22):
We'll come back to this in a second. But you know,
I'm always on guard about big tech because I think
that we've all seen exactly what big tech is all about.
They want to take your data and they want to
sell it to people. They want to track what you're
doing there. This is happening right now. And I know
some of you are saying, Buck, I don't use social
media that much. Do you use email? Do you go
(15:43):
to websites? If you do any of these things, you're
being tracked. So why not take a minimal and inexpensive
and easy step to create some actual online privacy and
security for yourself. Okay, deal with that anxiety that we
all have that comes from a lack of control over
your data. And that's why I want you to try Secure.

(17:11):
are a political advisor to Donald Trump or Republicans, and
you survey the American populace at this moment in the
twenty first century, and you look out at all the issues,
all the things going on, and you decide, then, indeed,
white backlash and moral panic over critical race theory. If
you think that backlash is so powerful that it provides
such a nuclear furnace of rage that it will be
(17:33):
the key to taking over Congress in the mid terms,
well then you are conceiving the central premise of critical
race theory itself, which is that indeed, racial resentment, the
preservation or racial hierarchy, particularly for white people, is in
fact the central ordering conflict in American society. Right, Because
if you think that's the key to winning the elections,
(17:55):
not whatever jobs or I don't know, inflation, right, If
the key to winning elections is mobilizing white backlash along
these lines, then you were really saying, yes, yes, American
politics is inescapably about race. This is fascinating. Chris Hayes
is somebody who has built quite a career among left
wing loons because he kind of sounds and looks like
(18:18):
what they think of as an intellectual. He's got the glasses.
He lives in Brooklyn. He speaks too quickly for no
apparent reason, and he just parrots exactly what the left
wing activist, particularly white left wing activists, go around on
college campuses and now in corporate boardrooms and in social
media companies, et cetera, saying to each other all the time.
(18:38):
So that's what he's done. He's built, he's built a
career on all that. But there are some fascinating parts
of this little monologue that he gave here. Uncritical race theory.
First of all, the huge assumption, which is just a
strong man. No one's actually saying this. This is not
a belief on the right. No one says, oh, we're
gonna win back the midterms because of critical race theory
(18:59):
and the backlash. That's not a thing. I mean, I'm
I'm a right winger. I've never heard that before. No
one believes that. Everyone thinks that there'll be a combination
of issues. So, just to start off with, he's saying
that we're exaggerating critical race theory. This is one of
their main complaints. And then he turns around and he
(19:19):
greatly exaggerates how much we think critical race theory is
actually going to affect politics. So just start with that.
And then earlier in that clip, I didn't want to
play too much for you because you can only handle
so much, Chris Hayes before you just all the guys
out there will start to feel like, oh my gosh,
am I turning into a beta mail too. But there's
(19:41):
a part at which he says that he does believe
that race is something like the primary narrative, the foundational
conflict narrative in this country. And to this, I'll just say, yeah,
there is a whole class of predominantly white liberals in
this country who completely exaggerate both the day to day
(20:03):
importance of race in America and also the historical importance
of race in America. It is an obsession for them.
The same way that there are people who really believe
that climate change is an existential threat and the most
important challenge we face in the whole world. They actually
think that. They say that, I'm not putting words in
their mouth. They say it's an existential threat, meaning that
(20:24):
all of humanity could effectively be wiped off the face
of the earth because of climate change. Right so that's
a fascinating position to hold that. They think it's the
central that people like, and he said he's one of them.
The central belief of the left is that the foundational
(20:45):
conflict narrative in America is around race. A lot of
people would talk about, first of all, just the notion
of a foundational conflict narrative very Marxist, isn't it. I mean, really,
what you have in America is a long series of
you know, you have so many events over such a
long period of time that you would say, aren't we
(21:06):
an incredible success story? Actually, isn't America a success story
beyond the wildest dreams of even what you know, the
earliest Americans could have ever thought? Those powerful nation, not
just at one period in time, most powerful nation in
the history of the world. That's a pretty big deal.
But then there's another thing I wanted to point out
(21:28):
about what he says, and it is that all of this,
all of this is being talked about by the left
winning activists. They'll say that critical race theory is now
sparking white resentment. And I think it's fascinating because it
is worth asking at some point, is it only possible
for racial resentment to go one way? And is there
(21:49):
any resentment that's actually evidenced in the critical race theory
texts or ideas? And now I know this is where
that all the games are played with. Oh well, you know,
is a critical race theory or are we talking you know,
whiteness studies or are we talking you know, critical legal theory?
Are we talking either? There's all these different versions of
(22:09):
what is effectively the same thing. The baseline idea here
is racial Marxism actually, which is that until we have
a society that openly treats people differently based upon skin color,
with the idea that it's writing the wrongs of systematic racism.
You know, when there's things like affirmative action that are
(22:30):
very clear examples of this. But there's affirmative action, you'll
notice they'll often say, well, no, it's just about diversity actually,
because diversity is a strength. Well is it about writing
wrongs or about diversity? Well, it's about all the above. Okay,
Well can we take these one by one? No, No,
there are too many things. There are too many things
for us to really discuss any one thing. And why
are you asking so many questions about affirmative action diversity.
(22:50):
That sounds kind of racist. That's how they do it,
you know, you know how this game ends up being played.
You understand how they do what they do, how the
left positions all of this. They don't want to actually
engage in the facts. If you saw the debate between
between Joy Read and Chris Ruffo, it was a fascinating
(23:10):
window into what you're dealing with with the you know,
the progressive activist, hardcore left. He keeps saying, Okay, let's
talk about what's that issue here. You're teaching kids who
you're teaching black children in school that they are oppressed
and they are victims through critical race theory or something
similar to critical race theory. And you're teaching white kids
(23:34):
in school at young a at a young age, that
they are guilty and that they need to make pennance,
they need to do something because of their white guilt effectively,
and let's talk about that. Is that healthy? Is that moral?
Is that a good idea? No? Instead, what joy Read
did on MSNBC was just say that that's not really
(23:54):
critical race theory. You're not a critical race theory scholar.
That's not really CRT. That's a lot of technicalities and games,
because ultimately, what the what the left actually wants, and
it's what the racial Marxists want, is the ability to
do all this brainwashing and not have anybody ask any
questions about it. They'd prefer that it just happens without
(24:16):
the public's attention on it. And now when people actually
look at it, because it's it's very easy to see
how some of these things that are being taught in school,
it's very easy to see how they're deeply destructive. And
so it's it's not a straightforward thing to to defend this.
You have to use a lot of euphemisms, a lot
of misdirection, a lot of well maybe this, or well
(24:37):
maybe that. It's absurd, it's absolutely absurd. But that's why
the pressure has to be kept on. This is why
they're going to throw everything they've got and oh, that's
not CRT. Oh it's racist. To question CRT. You're exaggerating it.
It's not really happening. You don't know enough about it
to question it whatever it is. Because at the end
(24:58):
of the day, do the American people support overall the
proposition that our children should be taught that we are
a racist country and that there are and that children
should be led to believe that their skin color has
an enormous impact on their success in America and that
they either are oppressed or oppressed or do the American
(25:23):
people actually want that overall for their kids. The answers no.
The answers no. So that's why you have all the games,
That's why you have all these Democrats dancing around saying
things that are just absurd, absurd. Are we going to
take a quick moment here, a quick breather. We'll come
back in just a second. I think today's Democratic Party,
when it comes to crime, this party is a party
(25:44):
of interest groups, of radical interest groups. And so when
it comes to crime, this Democratic Party is the party
of the criminals, of murderers and rapists and child molesters.
You know, you look at what they've done in the
last five months. They've sent fourteen hundred dollars stimulus checks
to every crim middle in America. Murderers currently in jail,
got federal taxpayer checks courtesy of Joe Biden. They want
(26:06):
every felon in America to vote. They want to strike
down every law that prohibits felons from voting. And their
approach to this, it doesn't make any sense. You want
to know where crime comes from. It comes from the criminals.
Stop supporting policies that let violent criminals out early, Stop
supporting policies that undermine the police. Abolish the police, you know, Jesse,
(26:27):
Two of the top officials in the Biden Justice Department
are among the leading advocates for abolishing the police. Biden
appointed them. Every single Senate Democrat voted to confirm them.
And when you undermine the police, when you make it
impossible for them to do the jobs, what happens is
what's happening now? Murder rates skyrocket, crime rates skyrocket, And
(26:49):
what did Joe Biden the Democrats want to do. They
want to take away your guns. They want to take
away the guns of law abiding citizens and not go
after the criminals. It does seem like the Democrat part
is the party of the criminals. I mean, find me
one issue of criminal justice, find one area where there's dispute,
and I'll show you that the Democrats are taking the
(27:11):
position that is more favorable to murders, rapist, arm robbers,
and all the rest. Every time, over and over again.
Why is that you start to feel like are they
are they just rooting against this country. Are they just
wondering if they can pull it all down and make
(27:32):
things more miserable for everybody, then at least they'll be
in greater control. I mean, look at the lesson from COVID.
When people are frightened, they will let authoritarian busybodies get
away with a lot. So there's a long term trend
here that you have to see, which is that their
increase in lawlessness on the streets results in not the
(27:58):
kind of reasonable, rash old pushback that you would expect
on the most radical elements of the Democrat Party. Instead,
whether they're saying is what we need more? We need
more state resources, we need higher taxes, we need more
government employees, you know, social workers of course, not actually
just local law enforcement. We need to make sure we
don't lock people up for a long periods of time
(28:20):
for serious crimes unless there are a police officer involved
in in use of force incident that the BLM movement
has then then you've got to get you know, twenty
years as you saw last week, that happened went way
beyond what normally a manslaughter conviction would get somebody. I mean,
I went to the very top of the of the guidelines.
(28:40):
But that's the way, that's the way this goes. I'm
so frustrated. I guess is the word. You know. I
was home over the over the weekend and right in
Time Square there was a there was a shooting. There
was a shooting and I believe it involved an individual
Juel who. This is a scam that is constantly run
(29:05):
in Times Square. The scam is that they have people
who um are are they're selling CDs. But what they're
really doing is they're trying to go up to tourists
and they ask the tourists, you know, what is your name?
And then they when the tourist responds, you know, my
name is Bill, they write Bill on it and they say, okay,
(29:26):
now this is your CD, give me twenty dollars. They
essentially force a confrontation with people who and and they
try to make it seem like, well, you know, now
you owe me money. Now that people didn't want the CD.
They just responded to what their name is with a
guy holding out a CD. This is the scam that's run.
But you know what happens if you try to get
them to stop doing this, you're being You're being racist.
(29:49):
These guys are just they're they're just trying to make
a living, don't you see they're they're aspiring artists, they're musicians.
This is this is their music, this is what they do.
While why would you try to stop them from from
making a living? And you know this is the the next,
you know, the next great national music star. Well, it
(30:11):
turns out one of these guys was carrying a gun
and just started shooting in broad daylight in Times Square
right outside the Marriott Marquee on Sunday evening, injured a
US marine who was in town visiting. You know us,
think about this. You're a marine, you're training to fight
our enemies overseas, and you get shot in broad daylight
(30:32):
in Times Square by a guy who's purportedly selling CDs,
and and I can tell you he was not a
a maga hat wearing white nationalist. So I'm just one,
you know, because I know that's the fixation the media
always has. We're supposed to be so worried about the
the the maga hat brigades and the coup it's going
(30:53):
to come any minute, But they see when when you
understand why overall perception about crime matters, and it's really happening.
Then it becomes so much more clear that this is
all this is all to be expected. I mean, they
won't stop people from doing this, you know, panhandling scam essentially,
(31:15):
and any you know DA in New York, Cyrus, Vance too,
anywhere else in the country right now, any any major
urban center. DA doesn't want to get involved in these
what seemed like these lower level crimes. But then you
just have people who are causing issues and who are
praying upon people, and then sometimes that just escalates. It's
exactly what happened. This should not occur, all right, that
(31:40):
they should not have people walking around doing this scam.
And I'm sorry, like it's I've seen it happen before.
And I've even thought about intervening once or twice myself
and saying, hey, like because I look, I take pride
in New York City. It's my home and I want
people to want to visit it, and until recently it
really did feel like a very safe place. But I
(32:03):
also know that if I were to try and intervene
and something, let's say, something got ugly, you know that
it would be oh, you know right wing radio host
you know, trying to trying to stop the next the
next Jay Z from making a living? You know, why
is he doing this? Or you know the next no, Well,
and it's guys who do this, as I said, the
(32:24):
next Taylor Swift, But you get the idea. It's always
guys doing this. So I just sit there and I say,
can't we all understand why this is a problem? And no.
In fact, I tweeted something out about this over the weekend,
and what did I get? I had all the I
had all these idiot actors, like C list actors. For
some reason, one of them must have retweeted what I said,
which is just oh man. I wish we had more
(32:44):
quick reaction social workers and violence interrupters in Times Square
because that would really have helped out here, because this
was an idea that they were putting out there when
it was fashionable, when it would get them applause from
a left. This was an idea they put out there,
and it was stupid then and it's stupid now. And
I think they should be mocked for this. I think
there should be a real repudiation of it all. But
(33:07):
all these actors look assume many caps are ready in
New York and they're over militarized, you know, and it's
just like what you see with AOC, until until a
vagrant you know, breaks into AOC's tesla and uses it
as you know, their own personal toilet, until you know
there's a drive by shooting outside the Whole Foods in
(33:30):
DC that some of these members of Congress, you know,
spend their time in, these leftists until it feels like
it's on their doorstep. They don't care. They don't care.
I mean the people in the Democrat Party who pretend
to care about the Stewart's hilarious Nancy Pelosi, Diane Feinstein,
the leadership the Democrat Party. People are too old to
(33:51):
be in positions of authority, Okay they I'm sorry, but
it's true. They should be passing the reins on to
younger generations. You shouldn't be gripping onto power deep into
your eighties. It's weird and beyond them. And Diane find
Steinn owns a forty million dollar house in Lake Taho.
You may have seen that over the week. And forty
million dollars, you know, probably your third or fourth house.
(34:12):
Really yeah, oh, but she knows what the struggle is like.
She's she's really trying to She's really trying to help
people and do her very best for them. It's it's
also stupid, isn't it. Friends, You reach a point where
you just realize what this is and you wonder, how
could anyone, how could anyone not see that this is
just a clear right and wrong. This is one side
is right here, one side is wrong. We need laws enforced.
(34:36):
No more shoplifting, no more, you know, quality of life crimes,
no more. You know, we all live by the same rules,
or it all breaks down. That's what has to happen.
Get back into this in a moment, and also some
of the latest on the Delta variant. Oh, the Delta variant.
It's coming for all of us. Time to lock down again.
Forget about everything we've learned here. That's what we're being told.
(34:58):
That's what That's what you have to get read for it.
Don't you see? They want to be in charge again.
They're not done with you. So I did check you
in on my stocks today. And you know, I've had
the best year, the best twelve month period I've ever

on the latest with the border for a moment. Kamala
was there last week, she was there on Friday. You
(36:25):
know Trump is going to be there this week, actually
talking to Trump tomorrow on the radio shows. You know,
this is the podcast different from the radio show talking
to him on the radio show tomorrow. So that'll be interesting.
But here's Kamala saying, you know, things are tough. It's
not really our fault. Play eight our administration. It is
important to be clear is working to build a fair
(36:47):
and a functional and a humane immigration system. I'm still
very strongly about that. And as you know, we inherited
a test situation in fact right here, and I'll pass
over this the launch of the suppression housing you thought
as it rolls out on the brand in the real time,
we have looked at a system where people have been
(37:09):
housed and in humane conditions over the last many years,
a silent system that has been broken and that needs
to be reconstructed. It needs to be reconstructed. What does
that mean? How notice how vague it all is. It's
all so sweeping. Okay, so people have been held in
(37:32):
humane conditions. You're saying, this is really bad. How do
you plan, Kamala to fix it? Very light on the
details very light on what we actually do to make
this whole thing get better, because, as I have been
telling you, and I have to keep repeating it, because
it's not going to change. The Democrats don't want to
(37:53):
make this issue go away. They like the long term
political implications of a day facto open border. Congressman Dan
Crenshaw down in Texas sees this for what it is.
Play three. Yeah, it's pretty obvious Kamala Harris does not
care about this issue at all. I think it's rather
obvious that she only went to visit and you know
(38:13):
where there was a convenient airport where she could do
a quick photo op to say she did it because
she was sick of getting made fun of by conservative
media that she never went. But she's not going to
actually take any action. Look, when it comes to these facilities,
they're they're overcrowded, they're overwhelmed. Okay, so we and we
can wring our hands trying to figure out what to
do with that, but we don't have new ones just
(38:34):
to build right off the bat. So we have to
look at the source of the problem. The source of
the problem is the Biden administration because they reversed policies
that were in place that was limiting the flow. Okay,
they reversed the Remain in Mexico policy, they reversed a silent,
silent cooperation agreements. It's like you have a pipe that's
broken in your basement, and instead of figuring out how
(38:57):
to shut off the water, you're just lining up buckets
and buckets and buckets. It's not gonna be enough. It's
not gonna stop it. You gotta turn the water off,
you gotta stop the flow. Democrats have no interest in
stopping the flow. Instead, they just fixate on getting the
nicest possible buckets and complaining about how Trump didn't give
them enough buckets. I know, I've I've beaten this analogy
(39:19):
into oblivion. But you understand that's what's actually happening. That's
what's going on. And they simply, the Democrats simply don't
really care. And now at least they'll say, well, Kamala
has been to the border, what is she doing to
fix it? I mean, I ask you that what is
being done to make this problem go away? Now? You
know what's going to happen next? Oh, Congress has to
fix it. That's the big issue. Congress and then the
(39:42):
Democrats will start saying they want something absurd. They'll start
saying they want, you know, amnesty, and then they'll actually
change the asylum policy. And Republicans, hopefully we'll be smart
enough to say no, we're not gonna go along with that,
and then you know what they'll do, They'll say, aha,
Republicans the problem here. Republicans refuse to take action. They're
(40:04):
being obstructionists. I mentioned the delta variant before with COVID.
You're hearing a lot about this these days. And just
so you know, Australia is back. A lot of Australian cities,
remember how they were doing such a great job, and
I kept saying, well, yeah, but they're going to be
in a series of lockdowns and lockdowns and lockdowns for
months and months and months. And there are serious mental
health consequences to this. I mean beyond just voting for
(40:26):
Joe Biden. There's like real mental health consequences that come
from these kinds of lockdowns, ones that have terrible effects
on people. But doctor When, formerly the head butcher of
Planned parenthood, Doctor When makes the case here that all
kids actually remember I thought we'd already gone over this.
(40:46):
Kids don't need to be vaccinated against COVID. Right. This
is official guidance from lots of places. Everyone's seen this.
This is very clear. It's not enough of a risk
to them. And plus, you got a lot of vaccine
you're still trying to get to other people. Kids are
at such low priority that they shouldn't be getting vaccine
right now. Right, Well, it turns out the former chief
of planned parent and wants you to know that your
(41:08):
five year old should be getting this shot to play one.
I think that this is completing two different things. I
definitely agree that global vaccine access is really important for
humanitarian and for self interest reasons, but you're not going
to get there by distributing the doses that were reserved
for children in the US. I mean, even if you're
talking about every dose for every child under the age
(41:28):
of eighteen in the US, you give it abroad, you'll
be vaccinating less than one percent of the world's population.
If we really want to solve the problem of global
vaccine equity, we would be building global infrastructure and helping
with manufacturing capacities, lifting export restrictions. There are actual policy
things that we could be doing if that's the problem.
That we're trying to solve for. There's a different problem
(41:51):
here too, which is we still have a pandemic um.
We have children who have been out of school for
a lot of this year. In person, we have parents
who are not at work. The best way for our
economy to get started, to help us here in the US,
is to get our children vaccinated. The solution that doctor
Malley is proposing to me almost sounds like saying, we
have global poverty as an issue, so we're going to
(42:12):
all fasten the US for a month. I mean that is,
it's not the solution to this global problem, and we're
not solving for the problem right here in the US.
I mean, I find I find this doctor when pretty terrifying,
to be honest with you, because I think she would
justify whatever. You know, She'll hide behind the MD and
say whatever the left wants her to. She's an instrument
of near totalitarian control. And look, she was the head
(42:34):
of Planned Paranote. So I was just saying, your friend recently,
you really can't be a conservative and not be pro life.
It's not really possible, right, And it's very hard for
me to think that somebody has a moral compass of
any kind who is a big piece of what goes
(42:56):
on at planned parentote. I mean, I think it's just evil.
I don't know what else. Hey, I know we're supposed
to treat this like it's something else, but it is evil.
And if someone's willing to do that to preborn babies,
I'm terrified at what they're willing to do to the
general population and full grown adults. And already here it's
saying they're going to vaccinate your kids. The COVID battle's
not over, friends, This is what I know. This is
(43:19):
not a hopeful thing to get into at this stage
of the podcast today, But the COVID battle is not over.
They want to lock down again. They want to mask
you up again. And you can say, oh, buck, my
state's fine, it's normal my state. Yeah. Wait until the
federal government has a winter surge or the delta variant
or whatever it is to work with. This ends. When
(43:40):
we make it end. It will not end until then.
It'll still linger. It might get better. It's better now
in a lot of places, I know, but it will
continue on in some form until we stamp it all
out and say this is madness. It absolutely has to
stop again. Thank you so much for joining me here
on the podcast. Make sure you give a five stars.
(44:01):
Please tell people about the Buck Sexton Show podcast. We're
doing it every day. We'll have deep dives and guests
and history lessons and oh my, so much going on here.

Buck Sexton Show podcast. Get the latest from Bucket buck

Excited to be with you now. Just a few stories
that we're gonna hit today. Another athlete turns her back
(00:21):
on America shooting in Time Square, Democrats trying to blame
the GOP for defund police, and Biden backtracks on his
backtrack on infrastructure. We'll get to all of that and more,
and that'll all be coming up. And make sure that
you give this podcast a like if you can, if

we are every month. But I've recently had a situation
where I wanted to get something fixed with a business.
(01:02):
They had sent me well the wrong size and I
needed to get it changed. So I thought I was
going to have to sit on customer service as you
usually do, and give them your order number. A bunch
of times, but actually no, I was able to do
it all through text messaging thanks to Podium. You see,
Podium is a messaging platform for your business and it
(01:24):
helps you reach your customers wherever they are. Think about
how straightforward this is. You get something and you need
to have an exchange, or you've got a question. You know,
you want to know what the ingredients are or what
software is compatible with it or whatever. Instead of having
to sit and wait on a long phone call, you
can actually just text message somebody. But it's a game
(01:44):
changer for your business, all right. The Podium will help
you adapt to these changing customer expectations because I know,
whenever I find that a business can text, I'm going
to use that business and it's more convenient for me.
So you've got to try Podium for your business. RPM
Alamo says they increased their business by twenty percent, and Tony,
who's an owner of our PM Alamo, said, we've generated
(02:07):
more revenue, decreased vacancy rates, and pulled in more leads
we could have in multiple years. It's priceless, all right.
Find how you can get Podium for your business today
to reach more customers and just improve their overall experience
with your business. Get started today at podium dot com

I'm sure you were particularly familiar with before, but you
certainly if you've been opening websites on the news or
you've been reading the newspaper, you see who she is now.
And she's an athlete who decided she first of all,
(02:50):
she's a hammer a hammer thrower, and she said that
she was displeased that the US national anthem was being
played when she was on the podium getting the bronze medal,
not even the gold medal in the hammer throw event. Now,
let's just all be very clear the hammer throw was
one of those events then if it went away from
the Olympics, nobody would even notice. I mean, this is
(03:11):
not exactly packing the crowds into the stadiums. Barry then
turned her back to the flag, covered her face with
a T shirt with the words activist athlete on it,
and she said the timing was a set up by
the event organizers and disrespectful to her. And they say,
USA Track and Field says the anthems actually played once
(03:35):
a day according to a preset schedule. And Barry, no surprise,
is a big activist and activist, and that's a term
that we know increasingly just means a left wing community
organizer with Marxist leanings, if not open Marxist sensibilities and desires.
(03:55):
So it's just the whole thing is one of these
moments where I'm torn because on the one hand, I
want to just say, all right, well, who cares? Are
we doing the wrong thing? Are we doing the wrong
thing by giving attention to this athlete? I mean, am
I doing the wrong thing by sitting here and talking
(04:15):
about it? But I think that that would miss something,
miss something very important. If this were a one off,
if this were just a moment in time, probably say, okay,
we could skip past it. We don't have to dive
deep into this situation. Why give more attention than is necessary?
(04:36):
But this is really part of a much longer trend.
As you know, there are a lot of people out there,
and Colin Kaepernick, of course, is one of the most
famous among the athletes, but there are many who have
taken a knee during the anthem, who have done things
that are intentionally meant to show their displeasure or even
(04:57):
disdain for America. All right, this is this is where
we are. I think it's important that we're all honest
about this now. I think it's important that we all
speak the truth about it. There are a lot of people,
there are a lot of people who despise America because
it is what I now say is a fashionable mental
(05:20):
illness on the left. It doesn't come with negative consequence.
It's quite the opposite. Among a lot of folks. It
actually means that you're going to be heralded, You're going
to be you're gonna be praised, Your career will improve,
your prospects, your ability to earn a living, all these
things will get better. And that's something that we have
(05:42):
to understand. How do we get to this point? How
do we reach this phase where now we have people
in this country who not only first of all, have
the absurd belief that they should hate America, but beyond
that that they are benefiting from that hatred. Right, they'd
like to act like this is a the the martyr
(06:05):
standing up for what is right. They want people to
believe that this is an act of bravery, but it's
actually an act of self congratulation and self advancement. The
people who do this, I mean, Colin Kaepernick is a
great example of it, but there are plenty of them.
There are plenty of athletes, of celebrities. I can't even
(06:25):
think of all the actors and actresses off the top
of my head who will talk about how, you know,
America is a fundamentally racist place, and we have all this,
we have all this atonement that we must engage in.
Some people would sit around and say, well, hold on,
I didn't do anything, and they'll tell you, well, if
you push back on it and say that you didn't
do anything, that's just further evidence of how racist you are,
(06:47):
which is absurd. But this is the way that it goes.
This is where we are. So we're not really going
to remember, I think, for very long Gwen Berry for
this because, for one thing, just because she's a hammer thrower,
which is one of those very you know, it's one
of those track and field events that people just don't
(07:08):
get particularly excited about. But beyond that, you see that
this is all a part of a broader narrative, and
that's what critical race theory is all about. There are
a lot of people in America. When I say a lot,
I mean you're looking at a big chunk of the
American twenty to thirty percent, I'd say, who pretty actively
(07:29):
despise a lot of this place, a lot of America
and its history and some of our common common institutions
and beliefs. And they really do think that there should
be a radical change here, and they want to be
agents of radical change. They don't want anything to be
different for them in terms of being rich and influential
(07:52):
and all that. They're not willing to make sacrifices as individuals.
But the great part of being a collectivist or a communist,
a Marxist is that you can always come up with
ways to explain how you should still be really well off,
you should still have a lot of power. It's other
people who should pay the price. It's other people who
are the ones that have to pick up the tab.
(08:15):
And this is really a plague. I mean, this is
becoming so widespread and it's gone beyond just something that
happens in a lot of different areas of culture and
American society. There's now a benefit to it. You know,
corporations will often be afraid of taking action against somebody,
(08:36):
no matter how much they defame America, no matter how
much they upset the fans, so to speak. So instead,
what you really have is like a form of hostage taking.
Here people decide that they're going to make a name
for themselves by spitting on America, and then if you
call them out for it, you are the focus of
(08:58):
tremendous attacks by the least and corporate America will rush
to their defense. And why what is this other country?
I always want to ask this, Where are we supposed
to look for real leadership in the world? What is
the country that abides by leftist principles that America should
look to? Because they start to say things. You know,
(09:20):
they'll talk about maybe some country in Europe or maybe
somewhere else, and they're always deeply ignorant of what it's
actually like in that country, and also the social and
social justice issues that are present in these other nations.
But also you start to wonder yourself, so do they
really just want this to be a socialist country? And
the answers yes, the answer is yes they do. But
(09:43):
I do believe that enough people are seeing this for
what it is and are becoming increasingly furious at what's
really just babyish tantrums from leftists. This is what, this
is what we're seeing. Oh it's so hard, Oh I'm
so oppressed, so terrible here really compared to what and why?
(10:07):
Notice how it's so many of the people who have
succeeded tremendously as a result of this American experiment, and
they're the ones that then say, oh, it's so terrible
and oppressive here, and you say, well, hold on, look
at you, and they say, well, I'm here to speak
for the oppressed. Ah, okay, what do they do and
how will they make the lives of the oppressed better?
(10:28):
Which brings me then to the AOC effect. You know,
she's calling, she's calling what's going on in cities across
the country. Well, she says that the right is engaging
in hysteria around this, that conservatives who are talking about
the biggest increase in crime in twenty years are exaggerating,
(10:51):
they're being unfair, they're being reckless whatever. Hysteria is the
word that she used. And to this, I just I
just want to ask, Okay, we're supposed to ignore this.
I mean, the data is irrefutable. You can't look at
the data and say anything other than you can't say
anything other than this is getting really bad. But here
you go play seven. We are seeing these headlines about
(11:13):
percentage increases. Now I want to say that any amount
of harm is unacceptable and too much, but I also
want to make sure that this hysteria. You know, that
this doesn't drive a hysteria, and that we look at
these numbers in context so that we can make responsible
decisions about what to allocate in that context. Okay, yeah,
(11:37):
we shouldn't be hysterical about people getting shot in increased numbers,
about people being murdered in increased numbers, because a lot
of the country believes morons like AOC that's actually what happened.
But they don't want you to think that. They don't
want you to come away with that conclusion because that
would hurt their their power grab that would be a
(12:00):
oountability that they absolutely despise that notion. So instead it's well,
let's not get let's not get too hasty here, let's
not get ahead of ourselves. Oh okay, So I just
want to be clear if we have You know, George
Floyd is killed by a police officer and it is
(12:20):
a nationwide in fact, a global atrocity that we all
have to Now there are statues and murals, and it
sparked a political movement, all this stuff. But you know,
a thirty or fifty or eighty percent increase in shootings
in a major US city in one year, Yeah that
maybe that's just a few dozen people murdered. AOC wants
(12:40):
you to know, a few dozen families shattered forever, maybe
a few hundred. But you know, she's she's got big
plans for America. And it's really inconvenient for idiot leftists
who know nothing about law enforcement, who don't live in reality,
who live in this conjured version of reality that they
go on MSNBC to try to convince people of. It's
(13:04):
really annoying that there are things like numbers and that
the trend of the deterioration and crime across a desuration
of safety and security and the increase in crime across
the country has been as clear as it is and
has coincided directly with the rise of the BLM movement.
You know, they talk about systemic racism. BLM has created
(13:26):
a systemic rise in violence and shootings. It's actually systemic
because it has changed the way the system can function.
You have police departments being defunded, you have police tactics
and procedures being changed by their political overseers. You have
cops who aren't able to do their jobs or walking
away from their jobs. That's systemic, that's real, But you're
(13:49):
not supposed to paying attention to that. Stop looking at
the numbers. Stop worrying about all the shootings that are happening.
I also like how she does the yes but construct
there of okay, Like yeah, like I mean like every
shooting is like kind of bad, but like I mean,
let's not get crazy here. Like so there's like a
lot more shooting, like a lot more people being killed,
(14:10):
but like, you know, there's social justice and like we
really let's like do an Instagram live about social justice. Yeah.
People believe this, they watch this, and unfortunately they don't
realize that she's she's a reckless little idiot, and she
really is. Even other Democrats know it, by the way,
But she is in the left wing zeitgeist right now.
(14:33):
She's really a cultural icon on the left. And so
the fact that she's an ignoramus, the fact that she's reckless,
the fact that her policies, her preferred policies and the
way that she Remember this is all folks, A country
is really just a perception. It's all just a narrative.
It's just ideas, friends, and it can all fall apart.
This is what you have to remember. America is not
(14:56):
something that you can actually touch. It's the agreement, it's
the social contract. It's all of us coming together and
having certain things that you know, certain ideas and ideals
that we ambuye buy, and that we buy into. They
want to start kicking at that. You wonder how long
how long the foundations will hold. It's a question worth asking.
(15:22):
We'll come back to this in a second. But you know,
I'm always on guard about big tech because I think
that we've all seen exactly what big tech is all about.
They want to take your data and they want to
sell it to people. They want to track what you're
doing there. This is happening right now. And I know
some of you are saying, Buck, I don't use social
media that much. Do you use email? Do you go
(15:43):
to websites? If you do any of these things, you're
being tracked. So why not take a minimal and inexpensive
and easy step to create some actual online privacy and
security for yourself. Okay, deal with that anxiety that we
all have that comes from a lack of control over
your data. And that's why I want you to try Secure.

(17:11):
are a political advisor to Donald Trump or Republicans, and
you survey the American populace at this moment in the
twenty first century, and you look out at all the issues,
all the things going on, and you decide, then, indeed,
white backlash and moral panic over critical race theory. If
you think that backlash is so powerful that it provides
such a nuclear furnace of rage that it will be
(17:33):
the key to taking over Congress in the mid terms,
well then you are conceiving the central premise of critical
race theory itself, which is that indeed, racial resentment, the
preservation or racial hierarchy, particularly for white people, is in
fact the central ordering conflict in American society. Right, Because
if you think that's the key to winning the elections,
(17:55):
not whatever jobs or I don't know, inflation, right, If
the key to winning elections is mobilizing white backlash along
these lines, then you were really saying, yes, yes, American
politics is inescapably about race. This is fascinating. Chris Hayes
is somebody who has built quite a career among left
wing loons because he kind of sounds and looks like
(18:18):
what they think of as an intellectual. He's got the glasses.
He lives in Brooklyn. He speaks too quickly for no
apparent reason, and he just parrots exactly what the left
wing activist, particularly white left wing activists, go around on
college campuses and now in corporate boardrooms and in social
media companies, et cetera, saying to each other all the time.
(18:38):
So that's what he's done. He's built, he's built a
career on all that. But there are some fascinating parts
of this little monologue that he gave here. Uncritical race theory.
First of all, the huge assumption, which is just a
strong man. No one's actually saying this. This is not
a belief on the right. No one says, oh, we're
gonna win back the midterms because of critical race theory
(18:59):
and the backlash. That's not a thing. I mean, I'm
I'm a right winger. I've never heard that before. No
one believes that. Everyone thinks that there'll be a combination
of issues. So, just to start off with, he's saying
that we're exaggerating critical race theory. This is one of
their main complaints. And then he turns around and he
(19:19):
greatly exaggerates how much we think critical race theory is
actually going to affect politics. So just start with that.
And then earlier in that clip, I didn't want to
play too much for you because you can only handle
so much, Chris Hayes before you just all the guys
out there will start to feel like, oh my gosh,
am I turning into a beta mail too. But there's
(19:41):
a part at which he says that he does believe
that race is something like the primary narrative, the foundational
conflict narrative in this country. And to this, I'll just say, yeah,
there is a whole class of predominantly white liberals in
this country who completely exaggerate both the day to day
(20:03):
importance of race in America and also the historical importance
of race in America. It is an obsession for them.
The same way that there are people who really believe
that climate change is an existential threat and the most
important challenge we face in the whole world. They actually
think that. They say that, I'm not putting words in
their mouth. They say it's an existential threat, meaning that
(20:24):
all of humanity could effectively be wiped off the face
of the earth because of climate change. Right so that's
a fascinating position to hold that. They think it's the
central that people like, and he said he's one of them.
The central belief of the left is that the foundational
(20:45):
conflict narrative in America is around race. A lot of
people would talk about, first of all, just the notion
of a foundational conflict narrative very Marxist, isn't it. I mean, really,
what you have in America is a long series of
you know, you have so many events over such a
long period of time that you would say, aren't we
(21:06):
an incredible success story? Actually, isn't America a success story
beyond the wildest dreams of even what you know, the
earliest Americans could have ever thought? Those powerful nation, not
just at one period in time, most powerful nation in
the history of the world. That's a pretty big deal.
But then there's another thing I wanted to point out
(21:28):
about what he says, and it is that all of this,
all of this is being talked about by the left
winning activists. They'll say that critical race theory is now
sparking white resentment. And I think it's fascinating because it
is worth asking at some point, is it only possible
for racial resentment to go one way? And is there
(21:49):
any resentment that's actually evidenced in the critical race theory
texts or ideas? And now I know this is where
that all the games are played with. Oh well, you know,
is a critical race theory or are we talking you know,
whiteness studies or are we talking you know, critical legal theory?
Are we talking either? There's all these different versions of
(22:09):
what is effectively the same thing. The baseline idea here
is racial Marxism actually, which is that until we have
a society that openly treats people differently based upon skin color,
with the idea that it's writing the wrongs of systematic racism.
You know, when there's things like affirmative action that are
(22:30):
very clear examples of this. But there's affirmative action, you'll
notice they'll often say, well, no, it's just about diversity actually,
because diversity is a strength. Well is it about writing
wrongs or about diversity? Well, it's about all the above. Okay,
Well can we take these one by one? No, No,
there are too many things. There are too many things
for us to really discuss any one thing. And why
are you asking so many questions about affirmative action diversity.
(22:50):
That sounds kind of racist. That's how they do it,
you know, you know how this game ends up being played.
You understand how they do what they do, how the
left positions all of this. They don't want to actually
engage in the facts. If you saw the debate between
between Joy Read and Chris Ruffo, it was a fascinating
(23:10):
window into what you're dealing with with the you know,
the progressive activist, hardcore left. He keeps saying, Okay, let's
talk about what's that issue here. You're teaching kids who
you're teaching black children in school that they are oppressed
and they are victims through critical race theory or something
similar to critical race theory. And you're teaching white kids
(23:34):
in school at young a at a young age, that
they are guilty and that they need to make pennance,
they need to do something because of their white guilt effectively,
and let's talk about that. Is that healthy? Is that moral?
Is that a good idea? No? Instead, what joy Read
did on MSNBC was just say that that's not really
(23:54):
critical race theory. You're not a critical race theory scholar.
That's not really CRT. That's a lot of technicalities and games,
because ultimately, what the what the left actually wants, and
it's what the racial Marxists want, is the ability to
do all this brainwashing and not have anybody ask any
questions about it. They'd prefer that it just happens without
(24:16):
the public's attention on it. And now when people actually
look at it, because it's it's very easy to see
how some of these things that are being taught in school,
it's very easy to see how they're deeply destructive. And
so it's it's not a straightforward thing to to defend this.
You have to use a lot of euphemisms, a lot
of misdirection, a lot of well maybe this, or well
(24:37):
maybe that. It's absurd, it's absolutely absurd. But that's why
the pressure has to be kept on. This is why
they're going to throw everything they've got and oh, that's
not CRT. Oh it's racist. To question CRT. You're exaggerating it.
It's not really happening. You don't know enough about it
to question it whatever it is. Because at the end
(24:58):
of the day, do the American people support overall the
proposition that our children should be taught that we are
a racist country and that there are and that children
should be led to believe that their skin color has
an enormous impact on their success in America and that
they either are oppressed or oppressed or do the American
(25:23):
people actually want that overall for their kids. The answers no.
The answers no. So that's why you have all the games,
That's why you have all these Democrats dancing around saying
things that are just absurd, absurd. Are we going to
take a quick moment here, a quick breather. We'll come
back in just a second. I think today's Democratic Party,
when it comes to crime, this party is a party
(25:44):
of interest groups, of radical interest groups. And so when
it comes to crime, this Democratic Party is the party
of the criminals, of murderers and rapists and child molesters.
You know, you look at what they've done in the
last five months. They've sent fourteen hundred dollars stimulus checks
to every crim middle in America. Murderers currently in jail,
got federal taxpayer checks courtesy of Joe Biden. They want
(26:06):
every felon in America to vote. They want to strike
down every law that prohibits felons from voting. And their
approach to this, it doesn't make any sense. You want
to know where crime comes from. It comes from the criminals.
Stop supporting policies that let violent criminals out early, Stop
supporting policies that undermine the police. Abolish the police, you know, Jesse,
(26:27):
Two of the top officials in the Biden Justice Department
are among the leading advocates for abolishing the police. Biden
appointed them. Every single Senate Democrat voted to confirm them.
And when you undermine the police, when you make it
impossible for them to do the jobs, what happens is
what's happening now? Murder rates skyrocket, crime rates skyrocket, And
(26:49):
what did Joe Biden the Democrats want to do. They
want to take away your guns. They want to take
away the guns of law abiding citizens and not go
after the criminals. It does seem like the Democrat part
is the party of the criminals. I mean, find me
one issue of criminal justice, find one area where there's dispute,
and I'll show you that the Democrats are taking the
(27:11):
position that is more favorable to murders, rapist, arm robbers,
and all the rest. Every time, over and over again.
Why is that you start to feel like are they
are they just rooting against this country. Are they just
wondering if they can pull it all down and make
(27:32):
things more miserable for everybody, then at least they'll be
in greater control. I mean, look at the lesson from COVID.
When people are frightened, they will let authoritarian busybodies get
away with a lot. So there's a long term trend
here that you have to see, which is that their
increase in lawlessness on the streets results in not the
(27:58):
kind of reasonable, rash old pushback that you would expect
on the most radical elements of the Democrat Party. Instead,
whether they're saying is what we need more? We need
more state resources, we need higher taxes, we need more
government employees, you know, social workers of course, not actually
just local law enforcement. We need to make sure we
don't lock people up for a long periods of time
(28:20):
for serious crimes unless there are a police officer involved
in in use of force incident that the BLM movement
has then then you've got to get you know, twenty
years as you saw last week, that happened went way
beyond what normally a manslaughter conviction would get somebody. I mean,
I went to the very top of the of the guidelines.
(28:40):
But that's the way, that's the way this goes. I'm
so frustrated. I guess is the word. You know. I
was home over the over the weekend and right in
Time Square there was a there was a shooting. There
was a shooting and I believe it involved an individual
Juel who. This is a scam that is constantly run
(29:05):
in Times Square. The scam is that they have people
who um are are they're selling CDs. But what they're
really doing is they're trying to go up to tourists
and they ask the tourists, you know, what is your name?
And then they when the tourist responds, you know, my
name is Bill, they write Bill on it and they say, okay,
(29:26):
now this is your CD, give me twenty dollars. They
essentially force a confrontation with people who and and they
try to make it seem like, well, you know, now
you owe me money. Now that people didn't want the CD.
They just responded to what their name is with a
guy holding out a CD. This is the scam that's run.
But you know what happens if you try to get
them to stop doing this, you're being You're being racist.
(29:49):
These guys are just they're they're just trying to make
a living, don't you see they're they're aspiring artists, they're musicians.
This is this is their music, this is what they do.
While why would you try to stop them from from
making a living? And you know this is the the next,
you know, the next great national music star. Well, it
(30:11):
turns out one of these guys was carrying a gun
and just started shooting in broad daylight in Times Square
right outside the Marriott Marquee on Sunday evening, injured a
US marine who was in town visiting. You know us,
think about this. You're a marine, you're training to fight
our enemies overseas, and you get shot in broad daylight
(30:32):
in Times Square by a guy who's purportedly selling CDs,
and and I can tell you he was not a
a maga hat wearing white nationalist. So I'm just one,
you know, because I know that's the fixation the media
always has. We're supposed to be so worried about the
the the maga hat brigades and the coup it's going
(30:53):
to come any minute, But they see when when you
understand why overall perception about crime matters, and it's really happening.
Then it becomes so much more clear that this is
all this is all to be expected. I mean, they
won't stop people from doing this, you know, panhandling scam essentially,
(31:15):
and any you know DA in New York, Cyrus, Vance too,
anywhere else in the country right now, any any major
urban center. DA doesn't want to get involved in these
what seemed like these lower level crimes. But then you
just have people who are causing issues and who are
praying upon people, and then sometimes that just escalates. It's
exactly what happened. This should not occur, all right, that
(31:40):
they should not have people walking around doing this scam.
And I'm sorry, like it's I've seen it happen before.
And I've even thought about intervening once or twice myself
and saying, hey, like because I look, I take pride
in New York City. It's my home and I want
people to want to visit it, and until recently it
really did feel like a very safe place. But I
(32:03):
also know that if I were to try and intervene
and something, let's say, something got ugly, you know that
it would be oh, you know right wing radio host
you know, trying to trying to stop the next the
next Jay Z from making a living? You know, why
is he doing this? Or you know the next no, Well,
and it's guys who do this, as I said, the
(32:24):
next Taylor Swift, But you get the idea. It's always
guys doing this. So I just sit there and I say,
can't we all understand why this is a problem? And no.
In fact, I tweeted something out about this over the weekend,
and what did I get? I had all the I
had all these idiot actors, like C list actors. For
some reason, one of them must have retweeted what I said,
which is just oh man. I wish we had more
(32:44):
quick reaction social workers and violence interrupters in Times Square
because that would really have helped out here, because this
was an idea that they were putting out there when
it was fashionable, when it would get them applause from
a left. This was an idea they put out there,
and it was stupid then and it's stupid now. And
I think they should be mocked for this. I think
there should be a real repudiation of it all. But
(33:07):
all these actors look assume many caps are ready in
New York and they're over militarized, you know, and it's
just like what you see with AOC, until until a
vagrant you know, breaks into AOC's tesla and uses it
as you know, their own personal toilet, until you know
there's a drive by shooting outside the Whole Foods in
(33:30):
DC that some of these members of Congress, you know,
spend their time in, these leftists until it feels like
it's on their doorstep. They don't care. They don't care.
I mean the people in the Democrat Party who pretend
to care about the Stewart's hilarious Nancy Pelosi, Diane Feinstein,
the leadership the Democrat Party. People are too old to
(33:51):
be in positions of authority, Okay they I'm sorry, but
it's true. They should be passing the reins on to
younger generations. You shouldn't be gripping onto power deep into
your eighties. It's weird and beyond them. And Diane find
Steinn owns a forty million dollar house in Lake Taho.
You may have seen that over the week. And forty
million dollars, you know, probably your third or fourth house.
(34:12):
Really yeah, oh, but she knows what the struggle is like.
She's she's really trying to She's really trying to help
people and do her very best for them. It's it's
also stupid, isn't it. Friends, You reach a point where
you just realize what this is and you wonder, how
could anyone, how could anyone not see that this is
just a clear right and wrong. This is one side
is right here, one side is wrong. We need laws enforced.
(34:36):
No more shoplifting, no more, you know, quality of life crimes,
no more. You know, we all live by the same rules,
or it all breaks down. That's what has to happen.
Get back into this in a moment, and also some
of the latest on the Delta variant. Oh, the Delta variant.
It's coming for all of us. Time to lock down again.
Forget about everything we've learned here. That's what we're being told.
(34:58):
That's what That's what you have to get read for it.
Don't you see? They want to be in charge again.
They're not done with you. So I did check you
in on my stocks today. And you know, I've had
the best year, the best twelve month period I've ever
had of trading, and I recently have my best single
trade were maybe top three all time trades, and it
(35:21):
came from Carnivore Trading. Carnival Trading is helping real people

on the latest with the border for a moment. Kamala
was there last week, she was there on Friday. You
(36:25):
know Trump is going to be there this week, actually
talking to Trump tomorrow on the radio shows. You know,
this is the podcast different from the radio show talking
to him on the radio show tomorrow. So that'll be interesting.
But here's Kamala saying, you know, things are tough. It's
not really our fault. Play eight our administration. It is
important to be clear is working to build a fair
(36:47):
and a functional and a humane immigration system. I'm still
very strongly about that. And as you know, we inherited
a test situation in fact right here, and I'll pass
over this the launch of the suppression housing you thought
as it rolls out on the brand in the real time,
we have looked at a system where people have been
(37:09):
housed and in humane conditions over the last many years,
a silent system that has been broken and that needs
to be reconstructed. It needs to be reconstructed. What does
that mean? How notice how vague it all is. It's
all so sweeping. Okay, so people have been held in
(37:32):
humane conditions. You're saying, this is really bad. How do
you plan, Kamala to fix it? Very light on the
details very light on what we actually do to make
this whole thing get better, because, as I have been
telling you, and I have to keep repeating it, because
it's not going to change. The Democrats don't want to
(37:53):
make this issue go away. They like the long term
political implications of a day facto open border. Congressman Dan
Crenshaw down in Texas sees this for what it is.
Play three. Yeah, it's pretty obvious Kamala Harris does not
care about this issue at all. I think it's rather
obvious that she only went to visit and you know
(38:13):
where there was a convenient airport where she could do
a quick photo op to say she did it because
she was sick of getting made fun of by conservative
media that she never went. But she's not going to
actually take any action. Look, when it comes to these facilities,
they're they're overcrowded, they're overwhelmed. Okay, so we and we
can wring our hands trying to figure out what to
do with that, but we don't have new ones just
(38:34):
to build right off the bat. So we have to
look at the source of the problem. The source of
the problem is the Biden administration because they reversed policies
that were in place that was limiting the flow. Okay,
they reversed the Remain in Mexico policy, they reversed a silent,
silent cooperation agreements. It's like you have a pipe that's
broken in your basement, and instead of figuring out how
(38:57):
to shut off the water, you're just lining up buckets
and buckets and buckets. It's not gonna be enough. It's
not gonna stop it. You gotta turn the water off,
you gotta stop the flow. Democrats have no interest in
stopping the flow. Instead, they just fixate on getting the
nicest possible buckets and complaining about how Trump didn't give
them enough buckets. I know, I've I've beaten this analogy
(39:19):
into oblivion. But you understand that's what's actually happening. That's
what's going on. And they simply, the Democrats simply don't
really care. And now at least they'll say, well, Kamala
has been to the border, what is she doing to
fix it? I mean, I ask you that what is
being done to make this problem go away? Now? You
know what's going to happen next? Oh, Congress has to
fix it. That's the big issue. Congress and then the
(39:42):
Democrats will start saying they want something absurd. They'll start
saying they want, you know, amnesty, and then they'll actually
change the asylum policy. And Republicans, hopefully we'll be smart
enough to say no, we're not gonna go along with that,
and then you know what they'll do, They'll say, aha,
Republicans the problem here. Republicans refuse to take action. They're
(40:04):
being obstructionists. I mentioned the delta variant before with COVID.
You're hearing a lot about this these days. And just
so you know, Australia is back. A lot of Australian cities,
remember how they were doing such a great job, and
I kept saying, well, yeah, but they're going to be
in a series of lockdowns and lockdowns and lockdowns for
months and months and months. And there are serious mental
health consequences to this. I mean beyond just voting for
(40:26):
Joe Biden. There's like real mental health consequences that come
from these kinds of lockdowns, ones that have terrible effects
on people. But doctor When, formerly the head butcher of
Planned parenthood, Doctor When makes the case here that all
kids actually remember I thought we'd already gone over this.
(40:46):
Kids don't need to be vaccinated against COVID. Right. This
is official guidance from lots of places. Everyone's seen this.
This is very clear. It's not enough of a risk
to them. And plus, you got a lot of vaccine
you're still trying to get to other people. Kids are
at such low priority that they shouldn't be getting vaccine
right now. Right, Well, it turns out the former chief
of planned parent and wants you to know that your
(41:08):
five year old should be getting this shot to play one.
I think that this is completing two different things. I
definitely agree that global vaccine access is really important for
humanitarian and for self interest reasons, but you're not going
to get there by distributing the doses that were reserved
for children in the US. I mean, even if you're
talking about every dose for every child under the age
(41:28):
of eighteen in the US, you give it abroad, you'll
be vaccinating less than one percent of the world's population.
If we really want to solve the problem of global
vaccine equity, we would be building global infrastructure and helping
with manufacturing capacities, lifting export restrictions. There are actual policy
things that we could be doing if that's the problem.
That we're trying to solve for. There's a different problem
(41:51):
here too, which is we still have a pandemic um.
We have children who have been out of school for
a lot of this year. In person, we have parents
who are not at work. The best way for our
economy to get started, to help us here in the US,
is to get our children vaccinated. The solution that doctor
Malley is proposing to me almost sounds like saying, we
have global poverty as an issue, so we're going to
(42:12):
all fasten the US for a month. I mean that is,
it's not the solution to this global problem, and we're
not solving for the problem right here in the US.
I mean, I find I find this doctor when pretty terrifying,
to be honest with you, because I think she would
justify whatever. You know, She'll hide behind the MD and
say whatever the left wants her to. She's an instrument
of near totalitarian control. And look, she was the head
(42:34):
of Planned Paranote. So I was just saying, your friend recently,
you really can't be a conservative and not be pro life.
It's not really possible, right, And it's very hard for
me to think that somebody has a moral compass of
any kind who is a big piece of what goes
(42:56):
