Coming up in this hour, we're going to talk about Lil Nas X, his shoes, Lil Nas X's shoes. Listen, I care as little as you do, but there's actually something note word of the year that we must discuss.

I never thought I would ever talk about Lil Nas X's shoes or ever say the words Lil Nas X. But it'll make sense in a minute here.

Also, latest with the border and a story which is exactly what we talked about on Friday show. But coming out, I want to talk about SB 202, I believe it.

SB 202, I think, which is the George Election Law. Yes, be 202. And they're just straight lying to you about it. Just in your face, blatant lying.

So, talk about that all coming up next. But first, let's you know, big tech and they're the worst.

So, how do we get around it? Express VPN. Right, how do they make their money? How does Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, all the rest? How do they make their money? They make about tracking you. They follow you and then they sell it. They sell your data. They sell your information.

That's how they exist. Right. I never forget when Zuckerberg testified or whatever. And he was like, oh, no, we don't track and follow people. It's like, no, that's your business model.

But if you don't do that, it's all you do. So Express VPN can get you around that, right? Hide your IP address so they can't trace and your what you do and then sell you to advertisers.

Super easy to set up and also works on your phone as well. ExpressVPN.com slash buck. And you get a special link there. We'll give you three extra months of Express VPN service express VPN.com slash buck and protect your data today.

It's going on team buck. Mike Slater here from San Diego, fill in it for buck and you're like, oh, when's buck coming back Wednesday. They'll be back on Wednesday. But yeah, great. Nice to see you too.

Listen, I am as disappointed as you are. I'm now every time I I tune into my favorite host and he's not there. I'm feeling just like you are right now. Alas, I'm the best you got right now. So let's do it together. Today we're going to talk about little non sex issues.

We got some border stuff. We got a ton of stuff today. Actually, that's all coming up in this hour, but I got to start here because blatant lying to your face bothers me.

Talking about George's SP 202. This is the new Jim Crow law Jim Crow 2.0 Jim Eagle as Biden oddly called it in his press conference the other day. Now just to set the stage with the absolute hysteria that the left is painting this as.

I want to play this clip from joy read now I have a I make it a practice of not playing clips from MSNBC. But I only want to play this here because this is a perfect example in 40 seconds.

You can size example of how George's voting reform law is being characterized by the media and by the president himself. He called it sick. He said this law is sick and pernicious. So this is also a warning to any other state that dare has the gall to reform their voting system.

So if you're in whatever Tennessee, Florida, whatever any other red state. If you dare try to shore up your voting system, you're going to get the same treatment that George is getting right now here to let's just be clear for everybody who's watching this right now.

What Republicans are saying is they're going to make it torture for you to vote in line by having fewer machines beat up machines places where it in urban centers places where black folks live suburbs where black people live make it possible or torture for you to vote in line.

And then they're going to make it impossible for you to vote by mail. They're going to lock off every way that you can vote and then even if you survive all of those restrictions and you finally get your vote in. Then they're going to say ways out.

And then they're going to say, well, this is the end of democracy in America. This is the beginning of the South, the South Africa strategy. This is minority rule. This is saying we will rule over the objections of the majority of the American people. This is the most serious thing that we've seen happen since the January 6th siege. It's another kind of siege. It is absolutely bizarre.
