Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom hunch. So the Democrats had
Speaker 1: a debate last night. It was pretty boring, and I
Speaker 1: was right about what happened. A good night for a
Speaker 1: Klobasha and Biden held his own. But basically, the Democrats
Speaker 1: promise free stuff, more free stuff, open borders, take your guns,
Speaker 1: and climate change is gonna kill us all. We'll talk
Speaker 1: about that and more coming up on The Buck Sexton Show.
Speaker 1: This is the Buck Sexton Show, where the mission or
Speaker 1: mission is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence.
Speaker 1: Make no mistake American great, You're a great American Again,
Speaker 1: The Buck Sexton Show begins. He's a great guy. No,
Speaker 1: I said, listen, I don't have to make a very
Speaker 1: long speech. You really have to elect me. Whether you
Speaker 1: like me or not, it makes no difference because our
Speaker 1: country will go to hell if any of these people
Speaker 1: get in, It'll go to hell. So I'm going to
Speaker 1: leave now, goodbye everybody. And I joke, and then I
Speaker 1: came back and I told but they said, you know
Speaker 1: I was joking, but I'm really not joking. You have
Speaker 1: no choice because whoever they put in the same or
Speaker 1: they are the worst they're doing, and whoever they put in.
Speaker 1: It looks like it's going to be a revolution to
Speaker 1: the left. They're going to take your money, They're going
Speaker 1: to take and very much hurt your families. I just
Speaker 1: don't think people can allow that to happen. We have
Speaker 1: a country that's doing, I think, better than ever before.
Speaker 1: The economy is the strongest it's ever been, most powerful
Speaker 1: or military, all of the things we've discussed. Welcome to
Speaker 1: the buck Sex and show everybody there you had the president.
Speaker 1: I think that could be a perfect summation of last
Speaker 1: night's debate. I think that pretty much says at all,
Speaker 1: the crazier the Democrat is, the better they're they're doing
Speaker 1: in general. Now, there was a little, a little moment
Speaker 1: last night with Senator Kloba shar I give I always
Speaker 1: say credit words due Senator Kloba schar certainly didn't seem
Speaker 1: like a complete lunatic, and so that was a differentiation,
Speaker 1: a point of differentiation between her and the rest of
Speaker 1: the candidates on that stage. But it was more of
Speaker 1: exactly what you would expect if you watched all of it,
Speaker 1: which I watched most of it last night. Then I
Speaker 1: went back and watched it again this morning. Because I
Speaker 1: am a glutton for punishment apparently. But it's all the
Speaker 1: same stuff, you know, oh that they kind of switched
Speaker 1: into we're gonna unite the country and we're we're better
Speaker 1: than Trump and all this stuff, and it was pretty
Speaker 1: pretty weak sauce in my opinion, nothing particularly worthwhile. And
Speaker 1: then it's the usual stuff they want. They want to
Speaker 1: take your guns, they want to take your money, they
Speaker 1: want to pay for all of your stuff. But they're
Speaker 1: gonna take your money first. They're gonna give you free
Speaker 1: everything after they take your money and they take your guns,
Speaker 1: and they take your rights and take your freedom. But
Speaker 1: they're gonna battle that big, mean bully known as climate change.
Speaker 1: They're gonna punch climate change. We're right in the nose, yeah, folks.
Speaker 1: The Democrats on that stage are almost entirely, almost to
Speaker 1: a person, un serious, a deeply unserious bunch, none of
Speaker 1: whom you would look at and say, well, this person
Speaker 1: is an individual of tremendous reputation and accomplishment beyond being
Speaker 1: a politician. Wasn't a quite interesting last I mean, with
Speaker 1: the exception of Andrew Yang, who is really a novelty candidate,
Speaker 1: let's be serious about this, who on that stage last
Speaker 1: night is a person who's done anything other than be
Speaker 1: a politician? Really, Oh, Elizabeth Warren was a professor for
Speaker 1: for a while and then she'd be okay. And Kamala
Speaker 1: Harris was a prosecutor. Okay. Anybody think that their records
Speaker 1: on either of those things make them good choices to
Speaker 1: be the leader of the free world. You know, Mayor Pete,
Speaker 1: I know he served in the Navy, Navy Reserve. I
Speaker 1: always think it's interesting, how, you know leftists. If you're
Speaker 1: a Naval Reserve intelligence officer, the left of you and
Speaker 1: you're a democrat, you're the equivalent to democrats of Rambo.
Speaker 1: But someone like me that it's like, oh, I was
Speaker 1: a CI officers in a a rock enough gettis and the like, Yeah, whatever,
Speaker 1: go make some more cappuccinos, which I always want to say.
Speaker 1: I hate to break it to you guys. Mayor Pete
Speaker 1: was also drinking plenty of cappucci, you knows, and cobble.
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say it. I'm just gonna say it.
Speaker 1: A lot, a lot of coffee time, a lot of
Speaker 1: in the rear with the gear. So I always think
Speaker 1: that's a little bit interesting to see how that plays out, right,
Speaker 1: the left when they when they have a veteran there,
Speaker 1: they expect everyone to be, oh my gosh, how could
Speaker 1: you question anything about this man? Then you get all
Speaker 1: these people on the right. Now I'm not a veteran,
Speaker 1: of course, but you get all these people to write
Speaker 1: that either we're veterans or have war zone service, which
Speaker 1: I do have to their country, and it's like, yeah, whatever,
Speaker 1: Like what did you really do? So I'm just gonna
Speaker 1: show you the left really has no principles whatsoever. They're
Speaker 1: just full of emotion and want power, and I think
Speaker 1: are ultimately be set with a deep intellectual insecurity because
Speaker 1: they have to hold all these contrary and hypocritical, hypocritical
Speaker 1: positions all the time. But on the substance of the
Speaker 1: debate itself, I mean, yeah, you basically have a lot
Speaker 1: of career politicians on the stage repeating the same stuff.
Speaker 1: Very little ideological diverse city on that stage, very little, uh.
Speaker 1: I mean even within the Democratic Party, you know, there's
Speaker 1: no one that you say, oh, that person has a
Speaker 1: really different take. They see things in a way that
Speaker 1: at least it's worth having a real conversation about. You know,
Speaker 1: the place where they they had their most uh, you know,
Speaker 1: their nastiest exchange was really over over healthcare, and everyone's like, ooh,
Speaker 1: Julian Castro went for went for Biden. Here's here's how
Speaker 1: that whole thing. Here's how that whole thing went. They
Speaker 1: wouldn't have to buy in. That's a big difference, because
Speaker 1: Barack Obama's vision was not to leave ten million people uncovered.
Speaker 1: He wanted every single person in this country covered. My
Speaker 1: plan would do that. Your plan would? We do not
Speaker 1: have to buy in. They do not have to buy it.
Speaker 1: You just said that. You just said that two minutes ago.
Speaker 1: You just said two minutes ago that they would have
Speaker 1: to buy in. You said they would have to buy
Speaker 1: in to buy in if you qualify. Are you forgetting
Speaker 1: you said informed, you said, jey already what you said
Speaker 1: just two minutes ago. I mean, I can't believe that
Speaker 1: you said two minutes ago that they had to buy in,
Speaker 1: and now you're saying they don't have to buy You're
Speaker 1: forgetting that. I mean, look, grandmother, who has no money.
Speaker 1: Healthcare system automatically enrollally enrolls people regardless of whether they
Speaker 1: choose to opt in or not. If you lose your job,
Speaker 1: for instance, his healthcare plan would not automatically enroll you. You
Speaker 1: You would have to opt in my healthcare plan. Would
Speaker 1: That's a big difference. I'm fulfilling, fulfilling the legacy of
Speaker 1: Barack Obama, and you're not. I would be surprised to
Speaker 1: him here Yang whoa. This was? This was a spicy
Speaker 1: exchange of the whole night that everyone's oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: here is serious? What was noteworthy about this? For one? Uh,
Speaker 1: Medicare for all is is a joke. It's not funny
Speaker 1: because it would ruin healthcare in this country and would
Speaker 1: would bankrupt this But it's just it's not a serious proposal.
Speaker 1: Back to my these are unserious people. You can't do
Speaker 1: Medicare for all. It wouldn't work. We don't have the
Speaker 1: medical resources to do it. We don't have the funds
Speaker 1: to do it. You could not do it. The Medicare
Speaker 1: system as we know it right now would not be
Speaker 1: magnified times ten because of all of a sudden politicians
Speaker 1: waving a wand and saying, okay, now that's going to work.
Speaker 1: We don't have the doctors, the hospitals of facilities to
Speaker 1: handle that. Usage rates would skyrocket. People would all expect
Speaker 1: to be able to see doctors for whatever they want,
Speaker 1: whenever they want it. You know what comes after that
Speaker 1: rationing waiting. But it's fun to promise free things. It's
Speaker 1: popular to promise for people believe it. There can be
Speaker 1: a lot of free stuff and there's no there's no
Speaker 1: cause and effect here, there's no supply and demand. It's
Speaker 1: just whatever they tell you you should get, that's what
Speaker 1: you should get. But on the more personal level, here
Speaker 1: Castro saying to buy and you know, you know, did
Speaker 1: you forget what you said two minutes ago? Uh? If
Speaker 1: he had said it once, I might I might be
Speaker 1: willing to buy that. It was just he was in
Speaker 1: the heat of the debate. But when he kept saying,
Speaker 1: did you forget wink wink what you said to you know,
Speaker 1: he might as well thrown in there, Hey old man,
Speaker 1: did you lose your glasses because they're around your neck? Oh,
Speaker 1: you know, it could have been like that, Hey old man,
Speaker 1: where's your sippy cup? Did you forget what you said
Speaker 1: two minutes ago? That's what Castro. That's what Castro was doing.
Speaker 1: And you know what, if Castro wants to fight that way,
Speaker 1: that's his call. But today he's saying, oh, that's not
Speaker 1: what I bet. Oh, that's not what I bet. Of course,
Speaker 1: not I thing. You get Democrats, they're willing, they're willing
Speaker 1: to to to throw the low blow, you know, they're
Speaker 1: really they're willing to throw some kidney punches when the
Speaker 1: ref isn't looking. And then when they get caught, they go,
Speaker 1: I didn't do that. Oh I wasn't throwing kidney punches.
Speaker 1: I wasn't. Yeah, it's out. That's not the case. That's
Speaker 1: that is what he was doing. That was very clearly
Speaker 1: I think what was going on there. Oh, here's but
Speaker 1: since we're talking healthcare, was there big? Oh? Should we
Speaker 1: have here? Let me tell you this, folks. They're gonna
Speaker 1: whoever the eventual candidate is, it's gonna be expanding on Obamacare.
Speaker 1: It's not going to be Medicare for all, whoever wins this,
Speaker 1: this race for the Democrats, because Medicare for all. When
Speaker 1: when you're finally forced to deal with the reality and
Speaker 1: then Bernie Sanders is talking about thirty thirty trillion dollars,
Speaker 1: a thirty trillion dollar program. If that doesn't scare you,
Speaker 1: if you don't think that, now we're talking about maybe
Speaker 1: our currency is gonna be worthless one day. You know,
Speaker 1: I don't know what to tell you thirty trillion with
Speaker 1: a T. Here's what Elizabeth Warren says about a thought
Speaker 1: shape my Lizaeth Warren. Sometimes I choke up a little
Speaker 1: bit just trying to do my Lizbeth Warren. It's very hard,
Speaker 1: I think, my my, my vocal cords rejected. But here's
Speaker 1: what she had to say about healthcare. I've actually never
Speaker 1: met anybody who likes their health insurance company. I've met
Speaker 1: people who like their doctors. I met people who like
Speaker 1: their nurses. I've met people who like their pharmacists. They
Speaker 1: met people who like their physical therapists. What they want
Speaker 1: is access to healthcare on Medicare for all. Costs are
Speaker 1: going to go up for wealthier individuals, and costs are
Speaker 1: going to go up for giant corporations. But for hard
Speaker 1: working families across this country, costs are going to go down.
Speaker 1: And that's how it should work. It's not true. It
Speaker 1: sounds kind of nice, right, it sounds like maybe that's fair,
Speaker 1: it's a good idea. It's just not true. There's not
Speaker 1: enough money. You're not gonna able to tax. They're rich
Speaker 1: enough to pay for the programs that she says that
Speaker 1: they're going to pay for. And this is why the
Speaker 1: countries that do, the countries that do have a socialized,
Speaker 1: entirely socialized healthcare system Rember. Parts of our healthcare system
Speaker 1: are already socialized. It's already socialist. The countries that have that,
Speaker 1: the middle class pay much higher taxes because there are
Speaker 1: far far more people in the middle class, and therefore,
Speaker 1: ultimately that's really where the money is. The money in
Speaker 1: this country, you know, for the tax base is on
Speaker 1: on a you know, yeah, yeah, the one percent pays
Speaker 1: a lot, but it's really the top twenty percent of earners,
Speaker 1: and that gets you into middle and upper middle class territory.
Speaker 1: That's that's where the money really is. In the aggregate,
Speaker 1: it's about the top fifth of earners are paying a
Speaker 1: vast majority of the federal income taxes. That's not just
Speaker 1: gonna and you start thinking yourself, okay, well, who makes
Speaker 1: into that? Who makes it into that? And that wrong
Speaker 1: of of income. It's not just a super rich at all.
Speaker 1: A lot of people working very hard to income households,
Speaker 1: people who work for the state, people who are small
Speaker 1: business owners, working very long hours, and you know, then
Speaker 1: they have to deal with the costs of things that
Speaker 1: keep going up and keep getting worse, And the Libs
Speaker 1: never stop and think, why is that the case. Why
Speaker 1: do electronics get cheaper and better and faster all the time,
Speaker 1: but healthcare doesn't. Why are cars more comfortable, better, more
Speaker 1: technologically you know, efficient and sound, and yet college keeps
Speaker 1: getting more and more and more expensive. Ah. Well, you know,
Speaker 1: there are very big government programs that determine things like
Speaker 1: the price of healthcare and determine things like how many
Speaker 1: people can go to school, take out loans to go
Speaker 1: to school, and therefore it pushes up prices all the time.
Speaker 1: Whatever you need to bar, you're just going to borrow
Speaker 1: from the government. You don't need any credit history, you're not.
Speaker 1: They don't look at your credit risk. It's just okay,
Speaker 1: you want to go to school. Government's going to give
Speaker 1: you a big check to go to school. You know
Speaker 1: that means schools can set whatever price they want because
Speaker 1: the government's effectively saying that, you know, they're backstopping these
Speaker 1: loans and people are on the hook for them. They
Speaker 1: can't get out of them, and they're gonna be paying
Speaker 1: it off forever. So the areas that the Democrats complain
Speaker 1: about so much. Are the very areas where you've already
Speaker 1: seen the I'm from the government and I'm here to
Speaker 1: help mentality, and all they do is mess things up,
Speaker 1: but they don't learn. You know, would have been interesting
Speaker 1: last night if just maybe, just maybe there could have
Speaker 1: been a little focused on something called the economy. I
Speaker 1: don't mean in the very general Oh but you know
Speaker 1: we're gon we're gonna have the rich pay and the
Speaker 1: middle clash will no, I mean, what would democrats do
Speaker 1: differently than Trump in office? Raised taxes and invest in things?
Speaker 1: They keep saying invest in things as if the federal
Speaker 1: government is a good venture capitalist. The federal government is
Speaker 1: a terrible venture capitalist if you look at its history
Speaker 1: is not good. And that just means spending your money
Speaker 1: without you getting a say in it. That just means
Speaker 1: spending spending your money on your behalf. It's really actually
Speaker 1: spending your children and your grandchildren's money. The federal government
Speaker 1: doesn't have any money to invest. It just takes money
Speaker 1: from you. What would they do to make the economy better?
Speaker 1: What could be done? And when they talk about lowering prices,
Speaker 1: I want to have a discussion about forget about making
Speaker 1: college free, how about making college two years? How about
Speaker 1: improving and increasing the pipeline that people have out of
Speaker 1: high school into real on the job training. I mean,
Speaker 1: here's a thought. I could have very easily gone out
Speaker 1: of college and up I got to get at break here.
Speaker 1: I was about to completely revolutionize the college pipeline and
Speaker 1: change education forever and basically solve all problems. And Yami,
Speaker 1: but producer John and producer Market telling me, we have
Speaker 1: to go to a commercial because we actually have to
Speaker 1: pay for the show. So let's let's do that. Let's
Speaker 1: go into a pay for the show moment. We'll come
Speaker 1: right back. Every time something good about Barack Obama comes up,
Speaker 1: he says, oh, I was there, I was there. I
Speaker 1: was there. That's me too. And then every time somebody
Speaker 1: questions part of the administration that we were both part of,
Speaker 1: he says, well, that was the president. I mean, he
Speaker 1: wants to take credit for Obama's work but not have
Speaker 1: to answer to any questions. Cast stro really clearly had
Speaker 1: a strategy last night, and that was essentially committing elder
Speaker 1: abuse against Joe Biden, just being mean to Joe Biden.
Speaker 1: I do not think it worked for him. I think
Speaker 1: Biden more or less and just say he held his
Speaker 1: own I mean, he was Biden. So I don't think
Speaker 1: that you can really think there's much more to it
Speaker 1: than that he's going to maintain where he is. It was,
Speaker 1: in fact, Kloba Shar who came out. Cloba Shar came
Speaker 1: out and people were like, wow, she's actually not completely insane,
Speaker 1: And that is a big differentiator among Democrats now tells
Speaker 1: you a lot about where the Democratic Party is. That
Speaker 1: someone can just be up there and say, look, you know,
Speaker 1: we can talk about some stuff and I'd like the
Speaker 1: country to do well, and i want everyone to think
Speaker 1: I'm doing a good job. And I'm like, whoa, who
Speaker 1: is this lady? Where did she come from? Because on
Speaker 1: the other side, you've just gotten nothing but nothing but
Speaker 1: crazy town going on here. Beto mayor Pete, I mean Mayor.
Speaker 1: You know, Castro was going after Castro, was going after
Speaker 1: Biden all the time, and Buddha Judge just can't help.
Speaker 1: But he's always attacking, always attacking Mike Pence and then
Speaker 1: also always attacking Trump supporters. Do you think that people
Speaker 1: can support precedent Frump and his immigration policies are racist?
Speaker 1: Anyone who supports this is supporting racism. It's kind of
Speaker 1: a dodge there, right. Anybody who supports this is supporting her.
Speaker 1: So if you support racism, aren't you a racist? Just
Speaker 1: say may repeat say it? You know, come on, may repeat?
Speaker 1: Tell us what do you really think? Why? Why hold
Speaker 1: back on this one? And I also said that he
Speaker 1: thought that he had some nasty words to say about
Speaker 1: Mike Penns. He really doesn't like Mike Penns, which seems
Speaker 1: very strange to me. So we might get to tell
Speaker 1: you a little bit about the the reasons for the
Speaker 1: klobaschar Jump Oh and Felicity Huffman. Remember the whole college
Speaker 1: admission scandal. We got something for you on that and
Speaker 1: some other news and your emails because we have an
Speaker 1: email address now. Later on the show, it's gonna be
Speaker 1: an amazing roll call session with emails. We're gonna party
Speaker 1: like it's nineteen ninety nine. I believe that what unites
Speaker 1: us up here, the ten of us, is much stronger
Speaker 1: than what divides us. And I think that's true of
Speaker 1: our country too. Now. I may not be the loudest
Speaker 1: person up here, but I think we've already got that
Speaker 1: in the White House. Houston. We have a problem. We
Speaker 1: have a guy there that is literally running our country
Speaker 1: like a game show. He would rather lie than lead.
Speaker 1: I think we need something different. I am someone that
Speaker 1: tells the truth. I don't make promises that I can't keep.
Speaker 1: I have people's back, and I believe that to win,
Speaker 1: you bring people with you, and that is how you
Speaker 1: govern as well. So you're going to hear a lot
Speaker 1: of ideas up here. Some will be great, but if
Speaker 1: you see that some of them seem a little off track,
Speaker 1: I've got a better way. If you feel stuck in
Speaker 1: the middle of the extremes and our politics, and you
Speaker 1: are tired of the noise and the nonsense, You've got
Speaker 1: a home with me. Because I don't want to be
Speaker 1: the president for half of America. I want to be
Speaker 1: the president for all of America. By far, the least sanctimonious, insane, annoying,
Speaker 1: worthless opening statement of any of the ten candidates on
Speaker 1: the stage. I have made my fair share of jokes
Speaker 1: about Cloba Shar, like Klobaschar the Terrible, She will throw
Speaker 1: things at you, she is terrifying. How cooled you, you idiot?
Speaker 1: I will hit you with my stampler. Uh you know
Speaker 1: like that. I don't know why she became Russian all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, but she did. But she had a
Speaker 1: good night last night. And you will recall, I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna say it, well, somebody named Buck Sexton told you
Speaker 1: that she's a likely VP candidate. Guess what happened last night?
Speaker 1: She became she's now I can tell you for the
Speaker 1: for the big three of Bernie Biden, Warren, Cloba Shar's
Speaker 1: a a top three I think for all of them.
Speaker 1: I bet she's a top three VP candidate. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm just making up. I can't know this one or
Speaker 1: the other. And I'm not even sure they thought about
Speaker 1: V candidates, but I'm just gonna say it, Cloba Shar
Speaker 1: makes a lot of sense for them. She doesn't come
Speaker 1: across as a woke left wing social justice loon, and
Speaker 1: that in and of itself is a major point of
Speaker 1: differentiation from the rest of these Democrat candidates out there.
Speaker 1: So I think that part of it was good. But
Speaker 1: there's an interesting moment that happened last night that was
Speaker 1: during the debate, but it wasn't a part of the debate.
Speaker 1: Republican Elizabeth hang Ran an ad during the Democrat debate
Speaker 1: in which Okazio Cortez's photo catches on fire and is
Speaker 1: replaced by the atrocities of Pulpot's regime. Photos of the
Speaker 1: atrocities of Pulpot's regime in Cambodia, to show that socialism
Speaker 1: in so many places ruins lives, ends lives, is a
Speaker 1: destructive force, is a force for tyranny and slavery. And
Speaker 1: this is what the ad sounded like. This is the
Speaker 1: face of socialism and ignorance. Does Alexandro Cassio Cortez know
Speaker 1: the horror of socialism? My father was minutes from death
Speaker 1: in Cambodia before a forced marriage saved his life. That's socialism,
Speaker 1: forced obedience, starvation. Mine is a face of freedom. My
Speaker 1: skin is not white. I'm not outrageous, racist, nor socialist.
Speaker 1: I'm a Republican. And she ran that ad and wow
Speaker 1: did they did? They lose their minds and left about
Speaker 1: this one thing I thought was so interesting. Michael McFall,
Speaker 1: who I believe is a former ambassador I think ambassador
Speaker 1: of Russia and claims to have been a teaching about
Speaker 1: socialism for thirty years or something. He tweeted out that
Speaker 1: Paul Pot has nothing to do with socialism. That's one
Speaker 1: of those things that how can anyone say something so stupid? Actually,
Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders said the dumbest thing of the whole night.
Speaker 1: But we'll get to I'm gonna hold you gotta hold that.
Speaker 1: Who wins the prize for the single stupidest statement of
Speaker 1: the entire Democrat debate? Bernie Sanders one, I won? What
Speaker 1: do I get prize? Will I get the two tickets
Speaker 1: to Venezuela speaking which You're never gonna get two tickets
Speaker 1: to Paradise again? Guys, I know, sad any Money not
Speaker 1: as well known as many of the other you know,
Speaker 1: his songs are super I feel like people don't know
Speaker 1: Edny Money, you know, but you put on his songs
Speaker 1: and it just takes you back to the era of
Speaker 1: hair bands and juke boxes in dive bars in cities
Speaker 1: across America. We got two tickets to Paradise, Yeah, just
Speaker 1: like that. A little better than that, but yeah, he
Speaker 1: passed away. Guys, Any Money is no longer. Although I
Speaker 1: think which is a better song that or take Me
Speaker 1: Home Tonight? They're both bangers. They're both bangers, well said Ill,
Speaker 1: said producer Mark and producer John appreciate Eddie Moneies. They
Speaker 1: celebrate his whole catalog, all this stuff. He's great. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he passed away to it. I usually don't do the
Speaker 1: you know. I was like, you know, Bernie Sanders, I
Speaker 1: got two tickets to Venezuela. I'm going where they don't
Speaker 1: have toilet paper because I'm Bernie and I love socialism.
Speaker 1: It's just outrageous, outrageous that Bernie Sanders is propagating the
Speaker 1: very ideology that has led to this deprivation that's led
Speaker 1: to shortages of milk on the shelves. And they actually
Speaker 1: didn't when I was gonna sumble, when I was in
Speaker 1: a Ruba, they told me that people were showing up
Speaker 1: from Venezuela to buy paper products because they can't get them.
Speaker 1: So even people who are wealthy enough to afford it
Speaker 1: can't even find it, so they go to a Ruba
Speaker 1: and try to buy because the Ruba is very close
Speaker 1: to Venezuela. I think that Mike McFall said that Paul
Speaker 1: Pott is nothing of socialism other than being a Marxist socialist. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's got nothing to do with socialism. I just can
Speaker 1: the people that pretend to be educated know something in
Speaker 1: this country. That would be such a help those with
Speaker 1: the fancy credentials and that walk around to the you know,
Speaker 1: holding themselves up as paragons of education and knowledge. So
Speaker 1: many well educated buffoons running around it. Really, does you
Speaker 1: want to talk about an institution that I'm not sure
Speaker 1: it's going to survive the current generation, the advanced degrees
Speaker 1: in the humanities cast I don't think that people really
Speaker 1: care about that very much anymore. Well, I have a
Speaker 1: PhD in comparative literature, So what does that mean exactly?
Speaker 1: He's been way too much time reading books and not
Speaker 1: really doing much beyond that, and not necessarily learning anything
Speaker 1: from those books deconstructing them anyway. I like this, Elizabeth,
Speaker 1: But by the way, can we get Elizabeth hang on
Speaker 1: the show. I've never I've never even heard of her
Speaker 1: until last night. Do you guys know Elizabeth hingg Fresno, California. Huh?
Speaker 1: She wrote? AOC response is the Democratic Party in a nutshell?
Speaker 1: They're more offended by truthful words than the acts of
Speaker 1: their political ideology that has killed millions of innocent victims.
Speaker 1: I don't care about AOC feelings. I care about stopping
Speaker 1: her lies and the lies of socialism. Because AOC wrote,
Speaker 1: Republicans are running TV ad setting pictures of me on
Speaker 1: fire to convince people they aren't racist. Life is weird. No,
Speaker 1: that's not what they were doing. She also wrote, No,
Speaker 1: this wasn't an ad for young conservatives of color. That
Speaker 1: was the pretense. What you watch was a love letter
Speaker 1: to the GOP's white supremacist case. Wow. Do you have
Speaker 1: an Asian American woman who doesn't like socialism and runs
Speaker 1: an ad against it and AOC says it's racist. It's
Speaker 1: almost like it's very a very predictable response from somebody
Speaker 1: who is very dishonest in debates. We got more of
Speaker 1: the Democrat debate and owe so much more on this show.
Speaker 1: Stay with me first and foremost. I want to hit
Speaker 1: that point because we know Donald Trump's a racist, but
Speaker 1: there is no red bagged of courage for calling him that.
Speaker 1: If racism exists, the question is who isn't a racist?
Speaker 1: It's who is and isn't doing something about racism. And
Speaker 1: this is not just an issue that started yesterday. It's
Speaker 1: not just an issue that we hear a president that
Speaker 1: can't contemn white supremacy. We have systemic racism that is
Speaker 1: eroding our nation. From healthcare to the criminal justice system,
Speaker 1: and it's nice to go all the way back to slavery,
Speaker 1: but dear God, we have a criminal justice system that
Speaker 1: is so racially biased. We have more African Americans under
Speaker 1: criminal supervision today than all the slaves in eighteen fifty.
Speaker 1: We have to come at this issue attacking systemic racism,
Speaker 1: having the courage to call it out, and having a
Speaker 1: plan to do something about it. If I president of
Speaker 1: the United States, we will create an office in the
Speaker 1: White House to deal with the problem of white supremacy
Speaker 1: and hate crimes. A few weeks ago, a shooter droves
Speaker 1: I want to actually, I want to jump in here.
Speaker 1: We can get to do what William Castor said in
Speaker 1: a moment, I want to jump in here. And Corey
Speaker 1: Booker is still very much trying to find his footing
Speaker 1: in this presidential contest where he goes from being a
Speaker 1: wannabe to being a real player. And he's talking about
Speaker 1: what white supremacy, which is something that I would really
Speaker 1: be curious to hear of any of these Democratic candidates
Speaker 1: try to define because I used to think that white
Speaker 1: supremacy and I should say I thought this because this
Speaker 1: is what it was white supremacy was an ideological position
Speaker 1: that white people are superior to non white people, and
Speaker 1: that violence, even in the defense and propagation of white
Speaker 1: culture was justified. Ie neo Nazis, you know, white nationalists, etc.
Speaker 1: That's what why, that's what white supremacy. If you're a
Speaker 1: white supremacist, you used to be somebody who had you know,
Speaker 1: Swastika's tattooed on you. You were a skinhead, you were violent,
Speaker 1: you were a thug. Now they use white supremacy to
Speaker 1: discuss the criminal justice system in this country. Okay, well,
Speaker 1: let's let's unpack that for a moment. When he said,
Speaker 1: and this is mc corey, this is just what Cory
Speaker 1: Booker went into there, that there are more African Americans
Speaker 1: in this country under criminal supervision today than there were
Speaker 1: ever slaves in this country. One is I don't I
Speaker 1: don't really understand those are That's not a comparison. It
Speaker 1: seems like that's just an It seems like a non sequitor.
Speaker 1: I don't understand how that's really illustrating any point. But
Speaker 1: for the African Americans who are under criminal supervision, I
Speaker 1: assume he means some kind of post release supervision parole
Speaker 1: or or you know, some of the other criminal procedures
Speaker 1: that are in place for when you when you get
Speaker 1: out probation parole. These are different things, similar ideas. Is
Speaker 1: he saying that that all those African Americans that are
Speaker 1: under that supervision are innocent? I mean, we get into
Speaker 1: this discussion about criminal justice and criminal justice reform a lot,
Speaker 1: and I would just like to know what is the
Speaker 1: contention here, Because there are a disproportionate number of African
Speaker 1: Americans who are under supervision after a criminal conviction, is that,
Speaker 1: on its face immediately evidence of racism and the criminal
Speaker 1: justice system, Because you know, you started to get into Okay,
Speaker 1: there are different there are crimes for which there is
Speaker 1: a disproportionality of those who commit different crimes. Here as
Speaker 1: an example, if I were to tell you that white
Speaker 1: collar crimes were disproportionately committed by white men, right, you
Speaker 1: would say, yeah, that is not surprising. So if I
Speaker 1: then claim that white collar crimes, that there is a
Speaker 1: bias in the white collar criminal divisions of usually federal
Speaker 1: courts all across the country against white males, you would
Speaker 1: laugh at me. You would just say, no, I mean,
Speaker 1: there's just more white guys who are breaking those laws. Right,
Speaker 1: there's a disproportional number of white guys who are breaking
Speaker 1: those laws. And I'd say, okay, what about sexist bias?
Speaker 1: Look at murder convictions. Men commit almost all of the
Speaker 1: murders in this country. Is that, in and of itself
Speaker 1: evidence of an anti male bias in the justice system?
Speaker 1: And really think about this for a moment, because this
Speaker 1: this is the way the liberals will say, we have
Speaker 1: x out of African American males who are under supervision. Now,
Speaker 1: if they want to get rid of post incarceration supervision
Speaker 1: or a limit it, that's a discussion. I'm for criminal
Speaker 1: justice reform. I'm just not for Oh, our criminal justice
Speaker 1: system is full of white supremacy. Huh. I would need
Speaker 1: a better explanation of what the heck that's supposed to mean,
Speaker 1: because it's a rather inflammatory charge. And oh, by the way,
Speaker 1: you know, in other contexts. And we'll talk about this
Speaker 1: in a few minutes with we'll talk about some things
Speaker 1: that Eric Holders has said about Trump attacking the DOJ.
Speaker 1: But to say the criminal justice system is in some
Speaker 1: way that there is white supremacy in it is to
Speaker 1: say that it is an unjust system, and that must
Speaker 1: be considered an attack on an institution. It must be,
Speaker 1: so it should be justified at least if that's going
Speaker 1: to happen. And I think that Corey Booker is being
Speaker 1: a bit disingenuous here by just saying that that the system,
Speaker 1: because of the number of people who are, for example,
Speaker 1: on post conviction under post conviction supervision, is what it is.
Speaker 1: Then there's clearly a problem in the system. Are these
Speaker 1: people who have broken the laws or not? As we know?
Speaker 1: Another another thing, another addition to our discussion of criminal
Speaker 1: justice should always be that when they talk about non
Speaker 1: violent drug offenders, it is often the case that the
Speaker 1: non violent drug offenders were involved in much larger criminal conspiracies,
Speaker 1: and criminal conspiracies that involve at least the threat, if
Speaker 1: not the use of force, carrying weapons during drug deals,
Speaker 1: being a part of a drug gang that threatens other
Speaker 1: drug gangs. I mean, that's much more common than you
Speaker 1: would see from the charge the well, usually from the
Speaker 1: plea bargains, because in the plea bargains they go with
Speaker 1: the most readily provable serious crime, and that's often just
Speaker 1: a possession crime. Know you had a bag of you know,
Speaker 1: you had a kilo of heroin in your bag. You're
Speaker 1: going to prison even if you had a kilo of
Speaker 1: heroin in your bag, and you're part of a drug
Speaker 1: gang that's responsible for dozens of murders, and they also
Speaker 1: have you, you know, on a possible racketeering charge, and
Speaker 1: they're gonna get you on the twenty years on the
Speaker 1: kiela of heroin and that's it. They'll get you on
Speaker 1: the drug trafficking and high level drug possession charge. That that
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean that people who are going away are
Speaker 1: necessarily non violent offenders. So I think that's another place
Speaker 1: where we just we just need greater clarity than we
Speaker 1: have in this discussion. And here's the other thing. Democrats
Speaker 1: seem to have one plan for a criminal justice reform,
Speaker 1: and it's demonized the police and let more people out
Speaker 1: of prison. I'm not sure that that's and send people
Speaker 1: to prison for a shorter period of time. I'm not
Speaker 1: sure that's going to work out. So well, you go
Speaker 1: back in time when there were these very liberal theories
Speaker 1: about how to deal with crime and criminality, that criminality
Speaker 1: was more or less an extension of societal ills, that
Speaker 1: we were responsible for the criminals we create, and therefore
Speaker 1: we should not punish them too harshly because we all
Speaker 1: bear some collective responsibility for their actions. Things got really
Speaker 1: bad in this country in the seventies and in the
Speaker 1: eighties and the nineties that a sea change happened, and
Speaker 1: all of a sudden law enforcement, rule of law, sending
Speaker 1: people to prison when they break the law. That was
Speaker 1: the approach, and we've become overall a very safe country. Libs,
Speaker 1: I think would be at least open to undoing that.
Speaker 1: And we need to keep an eye and where all
Speaker 1: this is going. On August third, in El Paso, Texas,
Speaker 1: two things became crystal clear for me and I think
Speaker 1: produced a turning point for the country. The first is
Speaker 1: just how dangerous Donald Trump is the cost and the
Speaker 1: consequence of his presidency. A racism and violence that had
Speaker 1: long been a part of America was welcomed out into
Speaker 1: the open and directed to my hometown of El Paso, Texas,
Speaker 1: where twenty two people were killed, dozens more grievously injured
Speaker 1: by a man carrying a weapon he should never have
Speaker 1: been able to buy in the first place, inspired to
Speaker 1: kill by our president. You know, because I have a
Speaker 1: lost standing record on this issue. They said, well, do
Speaker 1: you think Trump is responsible for what happened. I said, well, look,
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously he didn't plull the trigger, but he's
Speaker 1: certainly been tweeting, not the ammunition. Blaming the president for
Speaker 1: the acts of a psychotic mass murder. That's where Democrats
Speaker 1: are now, That's that's a pretty standard thing now the
Speaker 1: Democratic Party that they don't even really try to hide this.
Speaker 1: They still believe that this is this is fair, this
Speaker 1: is what they this is what should be done, this
Speaker 1: is what should be said. And it's appalling because if
Speaker 1: they believe this, then I do need just one journalist, please,
Speaker 1: one journo, to go and ask any Democrat candidate whenever
Speaker 1: they say this that Trump is responsible for a mass murder,
Speaker 1: I need to know. Why is it that Bernie Sanders
Speaker 1: supporter James Hodgkinson, who attempted very close to successfully a
Speaker 1: mass assassination of Conservative members of Congress in a baseball
Speaker 1: field in Alexandria, Virginia during the Trump presidency, yelling this
Speaker 1: is for healthcare as he was firing off round after
Speaker 1: round as he hit Steve Scalif. Steve Scalif went through
Speaker 1: terrible agony, multiple surgeries, almost bled to death on that field.
Speaker 1: And then also internally later on during surgeries. It's horrific.
Speaker 1: If they're going to say that Donald Trump is responsible.
Speaker 1: I need to know why Bernie Sanders isn't responsible, because
Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders and all the Democrats make the following claims.
Speaker 1: Republicans want poor people to not have healthcare and to
Speaker 1: die from that lack of healthcare because they're monsters. Republicans,
Speaker 1: Trump and all who support Trump want small children to
Speaker 1: be locked in cages and terrified at the border, separated
Speaker 1: forever from their families, and don't care if children die.
Speaker 1: Leftists say that we, the Republicans, the Conservatives, and the
Speaker 1: Trump supporters, aren't willing to make the necessary changes to
Speaker 1: stop the world from ending, from human life from ceasing
Speaker 1: to exist, because we're such gluttonous fossil fuel addicts. If
Speaker 1: those things are true, if those were true things, wouldn't
Speaker 1: it be justified to be violent against those on the
Speaker 1: right if those were real things? And yet they say
Speaker 1: it over and over again, they say it all the time.
Speaker 1: I'm not even getting into how they discussed the rise
Speaker 1: of fascism under Trump and how Trump is a fascist
Speaker 1: is completely appalling. The stuff that they said. But there's
Speaker 1: a huge double standard here, there's a double standard. I
Speaker 1: also wanted to point out that, you know, who's decided
Speaker 1: to get a little bit involved in the public debate again,
Speaker 1: as Eric Holder, I think, is somebody who has escaped
Speaker 1: far too much of the of the ignominious reputation that
Speaker 1: he deserves for what he did during the Obama years.
Speaker 1: But I remember he was a long standing DOJ guy.
Speaker 1: He's somebody who's also not just a left wing Democrat
Speaker 1: who would do whatever was necessary for Obama. Remember Obama's wingman,
Speaker 1: self described Obama's wingman. Then you also look back at
Speaker 1: his record as the point person on pardoning Mark Rich,
Speaker 1: which was as corrupt an act as any president has
Speaker 1: has taken in my lifetime, probably the most blatantly corrupt one.
Speaker 1: I mean, there was more illegal stuff, but the most
Speaker 1: corrupt thing, which was Mark Rich's wife was a big
Speaker 1: Democrat donor, so they decided that her husband, who didn't
Speaker 1: even face the justice system, fled the country, went to
Speaker 1: Switzerland as financier, would be entirely pardoned right before Clinton
Speaker 1: was done in office. It was it was absolutely filthy,
Speaker 1: dirty corruption, and even Democrats now have had to admit this,
Speaker 1: you know, who never forget this. You know who the
Speaker 1: point person was on that pardon I was in quite
Speaker 1: an alliteration, it was Eric Holder. But now he wants
Speaker 1: to tell us that Trump is Trump is undermining our institutions,
Speaker 1: undermining all that is good about the FBI. It is
Speaker 1: something that really, really, if I can say, it, pisses
Speaker 1: me off. You know that really really pisses me because
Speaker 1: I know these people. I worked these people. I was
Speaker 1: one of those people. And to see a president of
Speaker 1: the United States go after the Justice Department, the FBI,
Speaker 1: the intelligence community in the way that he has is
Speaker 1: totally inconsistent with what a president or to do. Okay,
Speaker 1: Eric Holder, explain this to me. If we had a
Speaker 1: real press, they would ask the following questions. But they'll
Speaker 1: never ask that. The people that Eric Holder will do
Speaker 1: interviews with our Democrats, they're leftists, and they will never
Speaker 1: ask questions like, well, what are we supposed to think
Speaker 1: about the fact that the former acting FBI director might
Speaker 1: be going to prison for lying under oath? What do
Speaker 1: we think about that? Is that that's not worthy of
Speaker 1: us taking a moment to consider what kind of people
Speaker 1: run these institutions? What are we to think about the
Speaker 1: fact that James Callmey was fired, and if he hadn't
Speaker 1: been fired, would have had to be fired for what
Speaker 1: we learned about his actions while he was at the FBI.
Speaker 1: Certainly his actions after he left the FBI should deny
Speaker 1: him a clearance, and he came very close. It was
Speaker 1: really because of a technicality that he evaded criminal prosecution
Speaker 1: for what he did that Peter Struck had to be
Speaker 1: fired from his job, rightly fired from his job, very
Speaker 1: very senior FBI counterintelligence agent. Does anyone get to look
Speaker 1: at these things and say, hold on a minute, there's
Speaker 1: a real problem here. There's something very very wrong with
Speaker 1: this or that. Of course, Hillary Clinton managed to break
Speaker 1: the Espionage Act, and forget about just the letter and
Speaker 1: spirit of the Espionage Act for a second, I mean
Speaker 1: the recklessness of putting classified information on a private server
Speaker 1: because you want to control your record, because you're such
Speaker 1: a paranoid lunatic, because everyone knows you're deeply corrupt, which
Speaker 1: went all true about Hillary Clinton. But we're not supposed
Speaker 1: to question these institutions. Why and I'll tell you why.
Speaker 1: They question these institutions on the left all the time
Speaker 1: when it suits them. They think that the Department of
Speaker 1: Justice under a Republican president is racist. The moment that
Speaker 1: there's a civil rights issue that they want to raise,
Speaker 1: they'll start talking, Oh, I think that. You know, there's
Speaker 1: a little bit of racism in the FBI, institutional racism there.
Speaker 1: They will defend these institutions only so far as it
Speaker 1: is in their interests. I was in the CIA when
Speaker 1: it became the Lib's favorite punching bag because of the
Speaker 1: Iraq War and the intelligence leading up with the Rock War,
Speaker 1: and it was constantly being it was being mocked, ridiculed, undermine.
Speaker 1: I was in the CIA. I remember that, what about
Speaker 1: all the people in the intelligence community, They're risking their
Speaker 1: lives and doing all these days. I was one of them.
Speaker 1: Little old buck probably could have just, you know, gone
Speaker 1: to work for a consulting firm somewhere out of college,
Speaker 1: decided to go into the CIA. Found him flying around
Speaker 1: in Blackhawk helicopters in Iraq and Afghanistan hoping to not
Speaker 1: get shot at. And I had to hear on TV
Speaker 1: and read in newspapers all the time about how the
Speaker 1: CIA was a bunch of stooges, underperforming. You know, we
Speaker 1: couldn't stop the Iraq war from happened. So so what
Speaker 1: my point here isn't oh woe is me? The CI whatever,
Speaker 1: I don't care, we didn't care. We thought the journalists
Speaker 1: are a bunch of a bunch of whimps. Anyway, The
Speaker 1: point is they defend these institutions for political reasons, not
Speaker 1: because they actually respect institutions. You see this also with
Speaker 1: the way they will invoke the Constitution when they think
Speaker 1: it favors their side in an argument. But in general,
Speaker 1: they have no problem denigrating the Constitution, saying that it
Speaker 1: is an outdated, old document written by rich, old white racists.
Speaker 1: That's really how they feel about the Constitution. But sometimes
Speaker 1: I'll say, well what about this amendment or what about that?
Speaker 1: And you have a similar dynamic at play here with
Speaker 1: the FBI. There's only so much interest right now in
Speaker 1: defending and sending up for the FBI because it has
Speaker 1: been an enemy of the Trump administration at the top level.
Speaker 1: And it's really the Obama holdovers and the deep state bureaucrats.
Speaker 1: I know this mentality, I know what these individuals are
Speaker 1: like who work for these places. They really do come
Speaker 1: to think that they're a government unto themselves. That's the
Speaker 1: American deep state. It's not that there's this secret cabal
Speaker 1: plotting a coup that is going to roll tanks down
Speaker 1: Pennsylvania Avenue and all that stuff. It's that there are
Speaker 1: people who believe that elected officials are really just a
Speaker 1: temporary phase in any government. The real government is the
Speaker 1: permanent government, the fourth branch of government, that is the
Speaker 1: bureaucracy and eric holder, at least in so far as
Speaker 1: it's useful to him to say that now, it's taking
Speaker 1: exactly that position against Donald Trump, the duly elected president
Speaker 1: and commander in chief. Is not helping the safety and
Speaker 1: security of the United States. It is not helping the
Speaker 1: safety and security of the world. It is not helping
Speaker 1: the safety and security of Afghanistan. We need to bring
Speaker 1: our troops home, and then we need to make a
Speaker 1: big shift. We cannot ask our military to keep solving
Speaker 1: problems that cannot be solved militarily. We're not going to
Speaker 1: bomb our way to a solution in Afghanistan. We need
Speaker 1: to treat the problem of terrorism as a worldwide problem,
Speaker 1: and that means we need to be working with all
Speaker 1: of our allies, our European allies, our Canadian allies, our
Speaker 1: Asian allies, our allies in Africa and in South America.
Speaker 1: We need to work together to root out terrorism. It
Speaker 1: means using all of our tools. It means economic investment,
Speaker 1: It means expanding our diplomatic efforts. Instead out of hollowing
Speaker 1: out the State Department and deliberately making it so we
Speaker 1: have no eyes and ears in many of these countries.
Speaker 1: We need a foreign policy that is about our security
Speaker 1: and about leading on our value. What the heck is
Speaker 1: she talking about? Just complete nothingness? I mean, just this
Speaker 1: is that she's talking about fighting terrorism and she managed
Speaker 1: to say, well, we need to treat it like a
Speaker 1: worldwide problem. That's funny because when I was in the CIA,
Speaker 1: we called it the g WATT, the Global War on Terrorism.
Speaker 1: We're quite aware of it. To work with allies all
Speaker 1: over the world, all different allies. Yes, what Elizabeth Warren,
Speaker 1: We already do that. Now. As I wrote last night
Speaker 1: on Twitter, I do think we need to be fair
Speaker 1: that we should hear lizarth Warren out on Afghanistan because
Speaker 1: we know that she has something of an expertise in
Speaker 1: tribal conflict. Let that one sit out there for a second.
Speaker 1: What I'm just saying, she's somebody who doesn't know the
Speaker 1: first thing about national security. And she's also somebody who
Speaker 1: likes to talk in these internationalists and deeply multilateral perspectives.
Speaker 1: And yet when you really have to push on these issues,
Speaker 1: these are hard decision. These are hard decisions. These are
Speaker 1: hard things to figure out one way or the other.
Speaker 1: You know, are are you going to use drones against
Speaker 1: terrorist enemies? Are you going to give intelligence to allied
Speaker 1: countries to get the terrorists themselves? You're gonna trust them
Speaker 1: with that information? What if all of a sudden they're
Speaker 1: not doing what if they don't want to do it,
Speaker 1: or what if they let the person get away? These
Speaker 1: are all there's all these difficult considerations. I mean, you
Speaker 1: just say things like we're gonna work with our allies
Speaker 1: and we're gonna be cooperative and these are just words
Speaker 1: without thoughts behind them. And look, Warren is very weak
Speaker 1: on national security. There's no question Warren is weak on that.
Speaker 1: That's not an area where she seems to know much.
Speaker 1: And to say that we don't have any eyes or
Speaker 1: ears in these countries because of any cutbacks of the
Speaker 1: State Department. The State Department has people whose whole job
Speaker 1: it is and this is from recent travel with the
Speaker 1: State Department, as well as my time in the government
Speaker 1: before that. There are people the State Department. I'm pretty
Speaker 1: sure their job is to keep the pencils sharpened that
Speaker 1: the deputy Assistant Secretary might use during a day marsh
Speaker 1: of some kind. The State Department has people for everything.
Speaker 1: It is a massive overseas jobs program for Americans, and
Speaker 1: it really the return on investment. I think the ROI
Speaker 1: for the State Department is one of the lowest we
Speaker 1: have for any federal agency. I really do. And I
Speaker 1: think you get rid of Department of Education first, you
Speaker 1: don't get rid of the State Department. That's that would
Speaker 1: be That would be counterproductive, but it could be a
Speaker 1: lot smaller and a lot more efficient than what it is.
Speaker 1: We do not need all of these people in all
Speaker 1: of these embassies all over the world, just nuts. First
Speaker 1: of all, the government's there really only want to interact
Speaker 1: with and any embassy depends on the size of the embassy.
Speaker 1: The government's really only want to interact with a small
Speaker 1: number of people, So start with that. I mean, the
Speaker 1: government's only want to deal with senior level folks. They
Speaker 1: don't really want to hang out with the third Secretary
Speaker 1: at Pachet for Agricultural Affairs or something. I mean, I
Speaker 1: don't even know what they have, all these weird titles
Speaker 1: in the State Department. I don't remember it. I was
Speaker 1: a CIO. We used to make a lot of State
Speaker 1: Department jokes just the way it is, just the way
Speaker 1: it is. So there's a look at there. I'll be on.
Speaker 1: There's a little bit of a rivalry there. I get it.
Speaker 1: We definitely talk some smack about them, so they definitely
Speaker 1: talk smack about us too. Do not as cool as
Speaker 1: they think they are? Fact check true, we're not as
Speaker 1: as we think we are in the CIA. But let's
Speaker 1: get back into what's what's going on here with Warren
Speaker 1: and talking about fighting against terrorists. I think we've seen
Speaker 1: from Democrats for many years that they take a different
Speaker 1: approach to Islamic radicalism, for sure, and that is they
Speaker 1: like to downplay it and they view it as an
Speaker 1: all of the above approach where we have to do
Speaker 1: everything and that will stop terrorism. But they don't understand
Speaker 1: that there is a precondition for the primary form. Yes,
Speaker 1: that's right, the primary form of global terrorism we have
Speaker 1: faced for my entire adult life, and that is a
Speaker 1: belief in radical Islam, and we can do as much
Speaker 1: as we want in all these countries, creating, building brand
Speaker 1: new schools, setting up jobs programs. USA I D. Shows
Speaker 1: up all the things that we are already and have
Speaker 1: been doing for a long time, and that does not
Speaker 1: negate the appeal of radical Islamic ideology within these community. Remember,
Speaker 1: despite what LIBS wants you to believe, most people do
Speaker 1: not become jihadi terrorists because they're so poor, because they're
Speaker 1: so desperate. Jihadi terrorists are usually upper middle class, often
Speaker 1: educated to a graduate degree level, and they do what
Speaker 1: they do because of what they believe, not really what
Speaker 1: has happened to them or their families. A lot of
Speaker 1: times they will internalize videos of violence against Palestinians, let's say,
Speaker 1: or violence in Iraq or other war zones. But that
Speaker 1: in itself is a fascinating process. You know, I could
Speaker 1: internalize I could read about violence done to you know,
Speaker 1: the American colonists at the hands of the British a
Speaker 1: long time ago, and I could internalize that and have
Speaker 1: some weird hatred of the British. But that would seem
Speaker 1: a little strange at this point, wouldn't it. Violence is
Speaker 1: something that you can always find an excuse for if
Speaker 1: you're desperate. Two, and that's what the jihadists do. Warren
Speaker 1: thinks that if we just do everything, which is kind
Speaker 1: of you know, we'll just have jobs and money and investment.
Speaker 1: And I come from Oklahoma. I was a school teacher
Speaker 1: and then I became a professor, and everybody thought I
Speaker 1: was Cherokee because I told them that. Yep, that's pretty
Speaker 1: much all you know about Elizabeth Warren. I am a
Speaker 1: little surprised that she didn't have a better night, that
Speaker 1: she didn't have more of a breakout. Clearly, everybody's all, Oh,
Speaker 1: clover Shard, It's amazing, Look what clover Shard did. I'm scared, man,
Speaker 1: What if I interview and she throws a comb in
Speaker 1: my head? You know, she's been known to get a
Speaker 1: little throws a stapler at me, maybe miss Staper Staper
Speaker 1: giving me swing line. That's right, it's Frisky Friday up
Speaker 1: here in the Buck Sexton Show. We'll be right back.
Speaker 1: So I got some breaking news for you. It's not
Speaker 1: really all that important, but you might find it interesting.
Speaker 1: Felicity Hoffman, you recall she is the actress who was
Speaker 1: in Desperate Housewives, a show that both producer John and
Speaker 1: I can admit to never having watched a single episode
Speaker 1: of not one producer John. My Man card should get
Speaker 1: some extra stamps. None of that stuff for me. And
Speaker 1: I need to establish that now, because all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: when I start talking about how much I loved t Swift,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna they're gonna start chipping away at that man card.
Speaker 1: But Felicity Hoffman was on the show. She's also married
Speaker 1: to William H. Macy. I think it's a pretty excellent actor.
Speaker 1: I will say, I think he's pretty good. And so
Speaker 1: there are a Hollywood you know, Hollywood power couple, all
Speaker 1: that stuff. And she made a mistake. She did something
Speaker 1: that was in retrospect, highly highly unwise. She bribed and
Speaker 1: SAT consultant to correct her child's her daughter's SAT answers,
Speaker 1: and this was in a bid to get her to
Speaker 1: have higher SAT so that she could get on school
Speaker 1: of her choice. This whole school thing, I mean, this
Speaker 1: has been going on for a while, but everyone is
Speaker 1: so fixated on getting into these elite institutions. I think
Speaker 1: that there will be a wider recognition going forward that
Speaker 1: in an age where information is increasingly accessible and democratized
Speaker 1: if you have I really mean this, if you have
Speaker 1: a very solid ninth or tenth grade education, meaning if
Speaker 1: you're really good up till ninth or tenth grade. In
Speaker 1: my opinion, you can teach yourself if you put your
Speaker 1: mind to it. Anything else you need to learn in life,
Speaker 1: you could teach yourself up to Obviously, you can't teach
Speaker 1: yourself open heart surgery. But I mean the basics of
Speaker 1: what you would need, and you know, learning about things,
Speaker 1: teaching yourself different sub ject matter. You know you need,
Speaker 1: you need a certain facility with reading and writing, and
Speaker 1: a very baseline understanding of arithmetic and math and science arithmetic.
Speaker 1: Have you done your arithmetic? Sah? But you really know
Speaker 1: everything you need to know by the ninth grade if
Speaker 1: you're paying attention. That all said Felicity Hoffman's going to
Speaker 1: prison kind of buried the lead here. I know she's
Speaker 1: going to prison. You might be like, wait, wait a second,
Speaker 1: why is Felicity Felicity Hoffman going to prison? All that's
Speaker 1: right because she paid an SAT tutor fifteen thousand dollars
Speaker 1: to try to scam the SAT. So they're sending her
Speaker 1: to prison for two weeks. It's not you know, they're
Speaker 1: not given her the Shawshank lifetime prison sentence here, but
Speaker 1: she's going away for two weeks. It's the Papadopolis. Remember
Speaker 1: papadopolis got two weeks also are essentially a non crime.
Speaker 1: But I mean, this was this was bad. Look she
Speaker 1: should have been I said this all along. By the way,
Speaker 1: people gave me a hard time on Twitter and elsewhere
Speaker 1: because I was saying originally they were talking about mail
Speaker 1: fraud twenty years in federal prison, you know, on a
Speaker 1: service as mail fraud twenty more years and they were
Speaker 1: facing like eighty years in prison, and there was this
Speaker 1: this frenzy around. Oh, look at these wealthy white Hollywood types.
Speaker 1: Isn't it great if they just get crushed by the
Speaker 1: federal justices sem And I was sitting around like, come on, guys,
Speaker 1: it's ridiculous. I gotta got a prison for this. I
Speaker 1: knew that. I knew that it wasn't going to be
Speaker 1: a very long prison sentence. But there were some people
Speaker 1: who were really howling for there to be deterrence in
Speaker 1: deterrence level enforcement here, meaning make make an example of
Speaker 1: the people caught up in what they have described the
Speaker 1: operations called Varsity Blues Operation Varsity Blues. I don't know
Speaker 1: how many of you seen that movie, by the way,
Speaker 1: but the guy who we mentioned Dawson's Creek the other day,
Speaker 1: Dawson from Dawson's Creek plays the quarterback, and I mean
Speaker 1: he has like the worst twangy fake accent. I've He's like,
Speaker 1: I just my name's Johnny Mocks, and I just want
Speaker 1: to play football and and I just read books, and
Speaker 1: I'm kind of fancy. I like Shakespeare but also play
Speaker 1: football and I'm in Have you seen Varsity Blues? You know,
Speaker 1: Oh you haven't seen it. Ali Larder's finest movie role.
Speaker 1: And if you don't know who Ali Larder is, I
Speaker 1: can tell you she's quite lovely. And I sat next
Speaker 1: her once at a restaurant in Houston Houston Street, although
Speaker 1: I did not say anything to her because I was
Speaker 1: too chicken. Plus I knew that she'd be like, who
Speaker 1: are you go away? So that was pre Freedom Hunt,
Speaker 1: though now she'd probably be like, who are you right
Speaker 1: wing freak? Go away? Anyway, Felicity Huffman got she's she's
Speaker 1: getting sent away for two weeks, and there are other
Speaker 1: people that are probably gonna get some prisons. She also
Speaker 1: got a twenty or thirty thousand dollars fine. I think
Speaker 1: our twenty thousand dollars fine. No, I'm thirty thirty whatever.
Speaker 1: It's like a couple, you know, tens of thousands of
Speaker 1: a fine and some community service and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: And now she's got the whole humiliation thing going on
Speaker 1: where everyone's just piling on and she's saying she's sorry.
Speaker 1: She's fifty six years old. Look, I mean she's she's
Speaker 1: basically gonna, you know, end up doing some light cardio
Speaker 1: and some knitting for two weeks. You know, I don't
Speaker 1: think it's really gonna be It's really gonna be like
Speaker 1: hard time. They're not gonna have her wearing stripes with
Speaker 1: a ball and chain attached to her ankle and breaking rocks,
Speaker 1: you know, old school. That's not what they're gonna be
Speaker 1: doing to her, So she'll be okay. I think it's
Speaker 1: just mostly the embarrassment of people don't have ethics, you know,
Speaker 1: people don't have ethics. But it's also a recognition that
Speaker 1: or we we should have some recognition that this this
Speaker 1: school thing has just gotten not a control. People really
Speaker 1: believe that their child future is inextricably linked to the
Speaker 1: US News and World Report ranking that their college or
Speaker 1: university gets. And I mean Ammerst College was always number
Speaker 1: one or number two of colleges, not including universities in
Speaker 1: the country. But like, but like John, who's counting right, NBD,
Speaker 1: who's counting exactly? A lot of you are like, what's
Speaker 1: Amherst College. I was like, well, first of all, yeah,
Speaker 1: I know there are a lot of them are asking that.
Speaker 1: First of all, you don't pronounce the H. That's the secret.
Speaker 1: It's like, say, when you say you're a CIA agent,
Speaker 1: everyone knows you're full of it because obviously it's CIA officer.
Speaker 1: When you say you went to Amherst, everybody's like, no,
Speaker 1: you didn't. You never pronounced the H. My good man,
Speaker 1: Lord Jeffrey Amherst himself would tell you you never pronounce
Speaker 1: the H, like William H. Macy. So she's gone away
Speaker 1: for two weeks. I will say this, I think that
Speaker 1: the FBI spent real resources on This strikes me as
Speaker 1: it's kind of wow. But keep in mind that Felicity
Speaker 1: Huffman is now a I think, yes, she's a felon.
Speaker 1: She's a convicted felon spending two weeks in prison and
Speaker 1: getting a fine. Hillary Clinton violated classified protocols over one
Speaker 1: hundred times when she was Secretary of State, over a
Speaker 1: hundred times, including special Access program data. There is a
Speaker 1: standard in the statute of recklessness. If that is not reckless,
Speaker 1: nothing is reckless. How many days did Hillary Clinton get
Speaker 1: in prison? Zero? How many charges were brought against Hillary Clinton? Zero? Wow,
Speaker 1: it's you start to say the justice system is unfortunately
Speaker 1: very politically driven in this country. You know, there are
Speaker 1: the crime crimes that we all know. You know, you
Speaker 1: can't beat people, you can't murder people, you can't rape people,
Speaker 1: you can't steal from people, and we're all like, all right,
Speaker 1: you know those are things that we can usually you
Speaker 1: can at least degree, I mean not always. Look the
Speaker 1: o J case and look at Duke Lacrosse case. Right.
Speaker 1: There can be politics involving those crimes, obviously, but you know,
Speaker 1: usually in those circumstances, we're all more or less on
Speaker 1: the same side of we want justice for the victims
Speaker 1: and we want the accused to be punished, and we
Speaker 1: all know those are bad things. You get into some
Speaker 1: of these other statutory violations and you just say to
Speaker 1: yourself when do they press charges and when do they not?
Speaker 1: You know who gets who gets the slap on the
Speaker 1: wrist and who gets made an example of. And it's
Speaker 1: one of the it's one of the areas of our
Speaker 1: justice system I think has people losing confidence the most rapidly.
Speaker 1: It's a big thing. It's a big problem. Do I
Speaker 1: think that Felicity Huffman got is getting sent to prison
Speaker 1: for two weeks because they just want to say that
Speaker 1: she got prison time because she's a celebrity and she's
Speaker 1: rich and she's white. Yes, yeah, I think that's right.
Speaker 1: I think if she were Jane Doe, random middle class
Speaker 1: housewife who managed to scrap together fifteen ran to pay
Speaker 1: off some SAT tutor, and I don't I don't think
Speaker 1: she would know. It's not a lot of prison. I'm
Speaker 1: not breaking out the world's smallest violin for her. But
Speaker 1: I do think that there were some political considerations here.
Speaker 1: I think that people wanted they'd like, they like to
Speaker 1: see the famous and the powerful suffer, and we should
Speaker 1: just keep that in mind because some other famous and
Speaker 1: powerful people tend to get away with things. She's not
Speaker 1: known as being explicitly political, so she did not really
Speaker 1: have least, as far as I know, she doesn't have
Speaker 1: the leftist cover. It's not like you know, when there's
Speaker 1: someone coming after and if someone came after Alissa Milano,
Speaker 1: for example, they would give her the benefit of the
Speaker 1: doubt because she's a warrior for the left in the
Speaker 1: ideological battles of today. Anyway, two weeks Desperate Housewives, it's
Speaker 1: gonna be quite an episode for those two weeks. Dun Dun, dune.
Speaker 1: We'll be right back. We are the wealthiest country in
Speaker 1: the history of the world, and yet we have the
Speaker 1: highest child poverty rate of almost any country on earth.
Speaker 1: Could anybody really believe something so stupid? Could? I mean?
Speaker 1: You know, no, I understand that Bernie defenders. Here's what
Speaker 1: we said. We're the wealthiest country in the world, but
Speaker 1: we have among the highest child poverty rates of any
Speaker 1: country on Earth. Now I understand that that his defenders
Speaker 1: are immediately going to say he meant of any developed nation.
Speaker 1: And to that I would say, all right, even if
Speaker 1: we're gonna if we're going to assume it that's true
Speaker 1: for a minute, even if we think that that's true,
Speaker 1: and I think it probably is, I'm not I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna play dirty and say that Bernie didn't mean that,
Speaker 1: although he is uh quasi kami who honeymoon honeymooned in
Speaker 1: the Soviet Union. So who knows what's really possible for
Speaker 1: this guy. But wouldn't you correct yourself right away unless
Speaker 1: it was all just rehearsed lines and you were the
Speaker 1: equivalent of a socialist actor up there. We're gonna do this,
Speaker 1: We're gonna do that. We're gonna have free this and
Speaker 1: free that, everything free, free, free. The rich will pay,
Speaker 1: We're gonna return, We're gonna restore all of the good
Speaker 1: things for the middle class, and the rich people can
Speaker 1: go take a long walk off a short pier. So
Speaker 1: Bernie's obviously somebody that runs on a high degree of
Speaker 1: emotion here, He's not someone who's deep in the substance.
Speaker 1: And but saying that we have the highest child poverty rate,
Speaker 1: I would want to ask of any developed country, how
Speaker 1: are we measuring that? How are we measuring that? And
Speaker 1: we say any developed country, what really are are we
Speaker 1: deciding counts as a developed country? And why would we
Speaker 1: have such a high child poverty rate when we have
Speaker 1: all these programs in place to prevent child poverty. I'm
Speaker 1: not saying it doesn't exist. I'm just saying we're already
Speaker 1: doing things to make sure welfare programs are in place
Speaker 1: to make sure this isn't happening. So the answer is
Speaker 1: more welfare programs, it seems that's what Bernie Sanders offers up.
Speaker 1: But you know, both Bernie and Biden to me, just
Speaker 1: look too old. Last night, they look like they just
Speaker 1: don't They just don't have the gas and the tank
Speaker 1: for this. They don't have enough enough juice and the lemon.
Speaker 1: Is that a thing? No, it's not. I'm trying to
Speaker 1: think of. You know, I was gonna keep going with
Speaker 1: this one, but you know, they really are are lacking
Speaker 1: a vitality that you're gonna need the president. I understand
Speaker 1: Trump is kind of old. Does anyone think that Trump
Speaker 1: isn't a force of nature? Though the guy never looks tired,
Speaker 1: The guy never looks like he and he also loves
Speaker 1: this whole. He loves the fight, he loves the struggle,
Speaker 1: he loves being the president, he loves running for president.
Speaker 1: He's being out on the campaign trail, arguing with libs.
Speaker 1: Bernie and Biden. You really get the sense that they're
Speaker 1: just hoping that this is the last chapter of their
Speaker 1: political careers, and that will be the biggest one. But
Speaker 1: they don't really they don't really have a love for it.
Speaker 1: That's that's the sense you get. They're just doing it
Speaker 1: because they're supposed to do it. That was mine, that
Speaker 1: was what I was picking up from the last night.
Speaker 1: I mean, here's here's Biden, for example, who seemed to
Speaker 1: forget at one point what century he was in. We
Speaker 1: bring social workers into homes and parents to help them
Speaker 1: deal with how to raise their children. It's not that
Speaker 1: theyn't want to help. They don't want to they don't
Speaker 1: know quite what to do. Play the radio, make sure
Speaker 1: the television. Excuse me, make sure you have the record
Speaker 1: player on at night, the phone, make sure the kids
Speaker 1: hear words. A kid coming from a very poor school,
Speaker 1: have a very poor background. We'll hear four million words
Speaker 1: fewer spoken by the time they get there. There's so
Speaker 1: much I'm gonna go like the wrist of them. Dude,
Speaker 1: I don't even know what he's talking about. I think
Speaker 1: I think that he was starting to say, first of all,
Speaker 1: that social workers will teach people how to how to
Speaker 1: raise their kids. I find that that seems a little problematic.
Speaker 1: To me. But let's let's just step back for a moment.
Speaker 1: I do remember when I was when I was at Regis,
Speaker 1: which was a very excellent institution here in New York City,
Speaker 1: a Jesuit high school. And I remember when I was there,
Speaker 1: the headmaster, that's what that's what we called the you
Speaker 1: know principle. We called them a headmaster. I don't know,
Speaker 1: I've never heard that. Really. I think it's like an
Speaker 1: English school thing where they take, you know, hello headmaster, Hello,
Speaker 1: drinking tea, eating crumpets, you know, stuff like that. Crumpets John,
Speaker 1: not to be confused with strumpets. You remember, it's easy
Speaker 1: to make that mistake. Let me tell you. It's happened
Speaker 1: the best of us. But you know, I think that
Speaker 1: you know you. When I was back at Regis, the
Speaker 1: headmaster said, it's very one thing he found that was
Speaker 1: very important was families that ate dinner together when possible.
Speaker 1: For those of you that are on the road that
Speaker 1: work a lot of where I understand, but just when
Speaker 1: you have the choice, eat dinner together and don't have
Speaker 1: the TV on. These are simple things, but small habits
Speaker 1: result in big changes over time. And I do think
Speaker 1: that's a very and I will say that my family,
Speaker 1: all six of us, used to gather around a pretty
Speaker 1: small table in the kitchen. Was very cozy. We had
Speaker 1: another table in a bigger area, but we usually we
Speaker 1: started out really being at this little little kitchen table
Speaker 1: and we would just all be together and all talk,
Speaker 1: you know, for dinner. Pretty much every time. My dad
Speaker 1: would come home pretty late from work a lot of nights,
Speaker 1: but we try to wait and have dinner together as
Speaker 1: a family. That matters people. The social skills you pick
Speaker 1: up from family, the way that your vocabulary expands from
Speaker 1: talking to adults, and just the sense of support and
Speaker 1: interest that you get from other from the human beings
Speaker 1: who are most important to you, the human beings in
Speaker 1: your family. That stuff all really matters. That. It matters
Speaker 1: for educational purposes too. You know, Conservatives pre a lot
Speaker 1: of individual responsibility, and we usually think of that in
Speaker 1: terms of our adherence to the law and also economic decisions, right,
Speaker 1: and you're responsible to obey the law, and you know,
Speaker 1: if you've signed contracts or you do things financially, that's
Speaker 1: on you. I would just add to that that preaching
Speaker 1: greater individual responsibility not just for kids in school, but
Speaker 1: for the parents, the parents who have so much influence
Speaker 1: on children, and just in the encouragement that they can
Speaker 1: give them to do the right things in the classroom,
Speaker 1: to study hard, to try hard, to respect the teacher.
Speaker 1: That stuff all has to come from parents. It really
Speaker 1: can't come from a school. And it's unfortunate, but the
Speaker 1: Left is always trying to give people a reason why
Speaker 1: they're not going to why they're not responsible for their
Speaker 1: bad choices. This is just the truth. The Left finds
Speaker 1: countless ways to tell you that you're a victim whoever
Speaker 1: you are, that you anything that's gone wrong in your
Speaker 1: life is a problem. So I just think that this
Speaker 1: individual responsibility rhetoric should come into the school's discussion a
Speaker 1: lot more. The day after I proposed doing that, I
Speaker 1: went to a gun show in Conway, Arkansas, to meet
Speaker 1: with those who are selling AR fifteens and AK forty
Speaker 1: sevens and those who are buying those weapons. And you
Speaker 1: might be surprised there was some common ground there, folks
Speaker 1: who said I would willingly give that up cut it
Speaker 1: to pieces. I don't need this weapon to hunt to
Speaker 1: defend myself. It is a weapon of war, So let's
Speaker 1: do the right thing. But let's bring everyone in America
Speaker 1: into the conversation. Republicans, Democrats, gun owners and non gun
Speaker 1: owners alike. What the heck is Beto talking about here?
Speaker 1: Can we can we just do this for a second,
Speaker 1: Can we just unpack here a Betoi ism? I do
Speaker 1: believe that he is a He is actually a liability
Speaker 1: for the Democratic Party overall. I think that Beto O'Rourke,
Speaker 1: the longer he sticks around for them, the likelier it
Speaker 1: is is that they'll figure out the hard way that
Speaker 1: this guy is an absolutely zero substance liberal clown and
Speaker 1: that there's nothing about him that deserves any any serious
Speaker 1: attention to be a leader of any kind. It's actually
Speaker 1: a little bit depressing even knowing that he made it
Speaker 1: into the Congress. Although keep in mind there's there's a
Speaker 1: lot of idiots in Congress, a lot of idiots in Congress.
Speaker 1: So there you have it. What do we have here now?
Speaker 1: With Oh, yes, he was saying that he met people
Speaker 1: who were selling air fifteens at a gun show. I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna say he's lying entirely here. It would be
Speaker 1: a little too egregious for him to never have actually
Speaker 1: gone to a gun show. Although I don't know, I mean,
Speaker 1: did he really go or did he just kind of
Speaker 1: walk past it? You know, was he really there? So
Speaker 1: Bedo says he went to a gun show and he
Speaker 1: said that there were people there who were willing to
Speaker 1: cut up their AR fifteens. And this reminds me of
Speaker 1: some of the stupidity that we've seen in the past
Speaker 1: where individual there was one guy who made a video
Speaker 1: of himself destroying his own AR fifteen and, as someone
Speaker 1: pointed out, because he sawed off the barrel of it first,
Speaker 1: he actually had created an illegal yeah, because there are
Speaker 1: barrel length of requirements for a rifle like that, and
Speaker 1: he'd actually created it effectively in an illegal modified car
Speaker 1: being version of the AR fifteen, like a sawed off
Speaker 1: AAR Which was kind of funny because guy turned himself
Speaker 1: into you know, he created thought he was being really
Speaker 1: cool and woke, and he committed a felony in the process.
Speaker 1: So it's probably not something that he wants to be doing.
Speaker 1: But this is why you know that there is an
Speaker 1: irrationality to this. There's no way you can explain if
Speaker 1: you're a law abiding citizen and a person who means
Speaker 1: his fellows a fellow Americans, no harm. You're destroying a
Speaker 1: weapon you have. This is This is intellectually indistinct from
Speaker 1: me saying I have a chef knife and I'm going
Speaker 1: to I'm gonna break this chef knife in half because
Speaker 1: I don't want it to fall into the wrong heads.
Speaker 1: Producer Mark, Producer John. This chef knife could do a
Speaker 1: lot of damage. I don't want it to fall in
Speaker 1: the wrong heads. Somebody might use it to cut up
Speaker 1: parsnips or something. You should never cut up vegetables. Only bacon, exactly,
Speaker 1: slice bacon, be happy. True story speaking. I don't know
Speaker 1: why I was thinking chef and then this immediately jumped
Speaker 1: into my mind. This is a digression from the Beato
Speaker 1: gun discussion. But it's Friday, so I just want to
Speaker 1: do it anyway. I don't I don't really care. This
Speaker 1: is the most French thing ever and it was on
Speaker 1: France twenty four the news sites. We'll go back to
Speaker 1: guns in a second where it's Friday. Kickback, relaxed. Don't worry,
Speaker 1: the guns will still be there. French arm found liable
Speaker 1: after employee dies during sex on the business trip. Yes,
Speaker 1: my friends, this is very true. A French court has
Speaker 1: ruled that a businessman who was making the travel, he
Speaker 1: was also making the love and unfortunately, ah, he had
Speaker 1: a cardiac how do you say it? His heart went
Speaker 1: caput and it was no longer functioning. So now he
Speaker 1: is having the the family sue because they say he
Speaker 1: may have been how do you say it, in passion,
Speaker 1: But it was passion in the pursuit of business, my friends.
Speaker 1: So this French court has ruled that this guy can
Speaker 1: sue for on the his family can sue for a
Speaker 1: work related death because he was getting getting his busy
Speaker 1: on during business trip and died, which I know a
Speaker 1: lot of guys out there right now are kind of
Speaker 1: going until I want to go. We all always say that,
Speaker 1: but probably not. Yeah, I want to know was the
Speaker 1: relations helping his business at all? Because that's what I
Speaker 1: would argue as a judge, or is the counter lawyer?
Speaker 1: What was what is the business? What do you mean?
Speaker 1: You know? Was he making love to somebody from the
Speaker 1: business like you give me a temper or see discount,
Speaker 1: I give you the night of your three Because it
Speaker 1: was just a random woman or man whatever he's into.
Speaker 1: Then what what how does this random involved with business?
Speaker 1: That doesn't make any sense? Yes, here's the questions for
Speaker 1: his the mount himself. But he's no longer with us. No,
Speaker 1: how do you prove anything he is in that that
Speaker 1: great baguette in the sky. Is that where French people go? Yes?
Speaker 1: Or that that wonderful parfit of the clouds. So yeah,
Speaker 1: man Um died on the job. Died on the job,
Speaker 1: and the company now has to pay all benefits, uh
Speaker 1: because his responsible his death was the responsibility of the company,
Speaker 1: because he was just doing you know, because you know,
Speaker 1: you and me ain't nothing but mammals. So that's what happened.
Speaker 1: You guys, remember that song. That song was amazing. I
Speaker 1: missed that. I mean I must have watched that music
Speaker 1: video a million times when I was like in high
Speaker 1: school or whenever it came out. All right, So I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: I know there's a total digress. I want to I
Speaker 1: want to go back. You know what, I'm gonna come
Speaker 1: back into into the gun situation in a second. We
Speaker 1: got a little I get a little off track. I
Speaker 1: just had to tell you guys that story about you know,
Speaker 1: first of all, the French. You know they're crazy, but
Speaker 1: they're crazy like they're crazy like ze ex girlfriends that
Speaker 1: you can't stop seeing even though you know she is
Speaker 1: bad for you, like a gal wise, it is so
Speaker 1: either is so wonderful and yet so very donjer rouse.
Speaker 1: Uh French people, man, I don't know how they do
Speaker 1: what they do. But good times. All right, we're gonna
Speaker 1: come back. We got more on. Betto wants to take
Speaker 1: your guns away. He's anti fun. He drops f bombs
Speaker 1: for no reasons. He knows nothing about firearms. That is
Speaker 1: not a surprise. He's still he's still in my least favorite,
Speaker 1: my least favorite Democrat category of all. I mean, John,
Speaker 1: if I had to tell you that there was one
Speaker 1: Democrat that you could just vote off the island right away,
Speaker 1: who would it be? Betto? You're great, Yeah, he's He's
Speaker 1: just a punk. He's just the worst. We're just a mark.
Speaker 1: You have one that's the most who's the most annoying.
Speaker 1: Basically just not counting de Blasio anymore. See, you're a
Speaker 1: real New Yorker because you never you never take her
Speaker 1: eye off the ball here exactly. He's in his campaign
Speaker 1: end though no I thought he didn't suficially drop out yet,
Speaker 1: Oh he hasn't. Yeah, you're right, he didn't make the debate,
Speaker 1: but he hasn't dropped out yet. You're right, he still
Speaker 1: thinks he's gonna win somehow. As a New Yorker, I
Speaker 1: feel like we should all just be like, no, no,
Speaker 1: de Blasio. He's the worst. He's just the worst. I
Speaker 1: don't mind the Blasio being in because the further he
Speaker 1: is from New York, the better it is for New York. Like,
Speaker 1: I really think that, you know, there's a bunch of
Speaker 1: food trucks that are out here in Midtown, and I
Speaker 1: think if we went out, if I could just do
Speaker 1: like three minute interviews with a bunch of the food
Speaker 1: cart guys. I really mean this. I think some of
Speaker 1: those guys who are small business owners, hard working family men,
Speaker 1: I think I would take them over to Blasio. Like,
Speaker 1: if I could switch one of them, you know, I'd
Speaker 1: want one of like the guys that's operating one of
Speaker 1: the more successful food cards. But I'm just saying, understand,
Speaker 1: small business, hard work, diligent work, ethic, all that stuff.
Speaker 1: The Blasi was none of that. The guy who created
Speaker 1: the Hellal guys, the famous truck right down the street here,
Speaker 1: is he really Yeah? You didn't they have franchises now
Speaker 1: they're all over Long Island. We'd we'd be lucky to
Speaker 1: have that guy as the man. Exactly lucky. I mean,
Speaker 1: I want to I want to get him to campaign
Speaker 1: right now. Anything but the Blasio who drives forty minutes
Speaker 1: each way to get to a gym. He's in Manhattan.
Speaker 1: He drives to a gym in Brooklyn so he can
Speaker 1: do four minutes on the elliptical, like a lady who's
Speaker 1: taking a break in between Martini's. Like, this is ridiculous, ridiculous.
Speaker 1: I think they have gyms in New York. Last night
Speaker 1: checked in Manhattan, last time I checked. They're very expensive too.
Speaker 1: All right, all right, so I'm gonna co I'm gonna
Speaker 1: come back. We're gonna do some We're gonna do some
Speaker 1: more bedo bashing because that needs to happen. It's fun
Speaker 1: to bash the beducks is the worst? Stay with me.
Speaker 1: Are you proposing taking away their guns? And how would
Speaker 1: this work? I am if it's a weapon that was
Speaker 1: designed to kill people on a battlefield, him, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. All guns are designed to kill. Let's just
Speaker 1: understand that a firearm, by its very nature is does
Speaker 1: it now, there are many ways you can use it.
Speaker 1: You can use it to kill pheasant or you can
Speaker 1: use it to kill people, right, you can well depends
Speaker 1: on the firearm. But lethality is in fact, the purpose
Speaker 1: of a firearm doesn't mean you have to shoot it.
Speaker 1: It just means if you have it, you have the
Speaker 1: chance or the option of lethality at anyway, continue with
Speaker 1: bedos idiocy. If the high impact, high velocity round when
Speaker 1: it hits your body shreds everything inside of your body,
Speaker 1: because it was designed to do that. Again, that is
Speaker 1: what a bullet does, so he could do the soul.
Speaker 1: I mean the bullet that it fires. It's like really hard.
Speaker 1: Like the bullets are not soft, they're not water soluble.
Speaker 1: They will like go into flesh and like that totally hurts.
Speaker 1: Like when the bullet goes in, you're just like omg,
Speaker 1: because like that's what you say. And then well, I'm
Speaker 1: pretty sure there's blood that you would bleed to death
Speaker 1: on a battlefield and not be able to get up
Speaker 1: and kill one of our soldiers. When we see that
Speaker 1: being used against children and in Odessa, I met the
Speaker 1: mother of a fifteen year old girl who was shot
Speaker 1: by an ar fifteen and that mother watched her bleed
Speaker 1: to death over the course of an hour, because so
Speaker 1: many other people were shot by that AR fifteen in Odessa,
Speaker 1: in Midland, there weren't enough ambulances to get to them
Speaker 1: in time. Hell, yes, we're gonna take your AR fifteen,
Speaker 1: your akte. I mean, this is what I talk about
Speaker 1: with the emotional blackmil He's telling his horrible story about
Speaker 1: people getting shot by the way. He could tell the
Speaker 1: exact same story every weekend. Every weekend, he could tell
Speaker 1: a story about somebody going through tremendous pain, bleeding out, dying,
Speaker 1: being lost to family members, And he could tell it
Speaker 1: in inner city Chicago, you could tell it in parts
Speaker 1: of New Orleans, parts of Baltimore, tappening all the time.
Speaker 1: The process of bullet and wound and bleed out and
Speaker 1: pain and anguish in death that is going on throughout
Speaker 1: the country, overwhelmingly in involving handguns, and disproportionately affecting minority
Speaker 1: communities and coming from the criminal element, not the mass
Speaker 1: shooter psychotic element. And yet bedos whole focus is on
Speaker 1: R fifteens. If you do the math on it, over
Speaker 1: ninety nine point nine nine percent. I don't even know
Speaker 1: how many decimals we can go over ninety nine point
Speaker 1: nine nine nine nine nine percent of AAR fifteen owners
Speaker 1: have never harmed another human being with their rifle, would
Speaker 1: never want to harm another human being with their rifle,
Speaker 1: and if anything, they make their households, themselves, their communities safer,
Speaker 1: and it makes the government think a little bit sometimes,
Speaker 1: especially as we're having these discussions about how they might
Speaker 1: come for our guns, makes the government think long and
Speaker 1: hard about we're really going to send people a door
Speaker 1: to doorsey. I know the most law enforcement if given
Speaker 1: that order, at least law enforcement that I know, they
Speaker 1: were told go door to door. We think this person
Speaker 1: may have it. What was a legal AR fifteen, but
Speaker 1: we've now federally banned it because we're a bunch of
Speaker 1: lib commies. I know most law enforcement officers that I know,
Speaker 1: I can't speak for all of them would say okay.
Speaker 1: They would either accept the order and not do it,
Speaker 1: or they would just reject the order outright. You're really
Speaker 1: going to tell Texas sheriffs to go bother people that
Speaker 1: have had a R fifteens for twenty years, thirty years,
Speaker 1: never heard a person with it, and you're gonna tell
Speaker 1: them they're gonna go kick in the door and take
Speaker 1: it with force. I don't think so. And what Betto
Speaker 1: is advocating here is actually crazy. It's dangerous. I mean,
Speaker 1: I mock Betto because it's important to make fun of
Speaker 1: what an imbecile this guy is. But his ideas are scary.
Speaker 1: And when he's talking about how you know, he looks
Speaker 1: at one shooting and one shooting that involved the semi
Speaker 1: automatic rifle, and he's getting into graphic detail and about
Speaker 1: the loss and about everything else that surrounds it. I
Speaker 1: just say, in response to this, people get shot all
Speaker 1: the time across this country and Democrats aren't outraged about it.
Speaker 1: Where are the Democrats calling for marches in cities where
Speaker 1: there is a predominantly black on black violent crime epidemic.
Speaker 1: There's not really a discussion about that. And this is
Speaker 1: not just oh that that's one issue, and then there's
Speaker 1: this other issue of the issue that I'm talking about.
Speaker 1: Criminal violence that disproportionately affects and minorities are disproportionately the
Speaker 1: victims of that violence as well as disproportionately affecting their communities.
Speaker 1: You know, the perpetrators of that violence are obviously disproportionately
Speaker 1: African American and Latino, and those being shot are disproportionately
Speaker 1: African American and Latino. You would think that that and
Speaker 1: the numbers overall, the aggregate numbers are much higher than
Speaker 1: what you see in mass shootings, but there's so much
Speaker 1: less urgency because it's really not first and foremost about
Speaker 1: stopping gun violence. It is about the left winning control
Speaker 1: and truncating the Second Amendment. That's what they are first
Speaker 1: and foremost conservative. If there were some reduction and violence,
Speaker 1: they're fine with that as an afterthought, but a reduction
Speaker 1: and violence is not the primary purpose. A reduction and
Speaker 1: violence is is something that if they can get it, fine.
Speaker 1: What they really want is to take people's guns away,
Speaker 1: take people. There are millions and millions of a R
Speaker 1: fifteens in circulation in this country, in legal citizens hands, millions,
Speaker 1: and we're talking about this reminds me a little bit.
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say it. Oh, the whole vapist area.
Speaker 1: There are millions and millions of people that are vaping.
Speaker 1: We've got six people that died and now they're saying
Speaker 1: they're going to ban it all. And we should know
Speaker 1: what the health effects are, we should know, there should
Speaker 1: be studying of it. But I don't know banning it.
Speaker 1: You know, six out of a million. You should see
Speaker 1: what the statistics are for you know, a basic medical procedure.
Speaker 1: You know if you go if you go under a
Speaker 1: general anesthesia, there's a chance you might die. Doesn't mean
Speaker 1: you get rid of all general anesthesia procedures, right, And
Speaker 1: you have to look at the percentages. You have to
Speaker 1: look at what the risk calculations are in life. And
Speaker 1: one of the things that Democrats do is they greatly
Speaker 1: exaggerate certain risks and they downplay others based on their
Speaker 1: political choices based on what they would like to have
Speaker 1: happening from a government perspective, instead of what should happen
Speaker 1: based upon the numbers. So oh and bet of course
Speaker 1: Better also wants background checks, no surprise there. I'm worried
Speaker 1: that we won't take action because we've been compromised by
Speaker 1: the politics and the polling and the worries about what
Speaker 1: the candidate's gonna do. If we say the right thing,
Speaker 1: the true thing, the necessary thing. So I'm gonna say
Speaker 1: the necessary thing, which is background checks are important, red
Speaker 1: flag laws essential. We should stop selling weapons of war,
Speaker 1: but if we leave ten million of them out there,
Speaker 1: they will become the instruments of terror that we've seen
Speaker 1: in El Paso, in Midland, Odessa, in Sutherland Springs. And
Speaker 1: those are just three mass shootings in our state, but
Speaker 1: all across this country. So we've got to do the
Speaker 1: right thing. Background checks are important, red flag laws are essential.
Speaker 1: We should stop selling weapons of war. A handgun is
Speaker 1: a weapon of war, which I know from being in
Speaker 1: two war zones and carrying a handgun, among other things.
Speaker 1: A handguns a weapon of war. A knife is a
Speaker 1: weapon of war. A simple bolt action rifle is a
Speaker 1: weapon of war. This is just this is just blather
Speaker 1: from Betto and he has really latched onto this issue
Speaker 1: because he thinks that this is a way that he
Speaker 1: can distinguish himself. I think from his colleagues is he
Speaker 1: just he doesn't care about the Second Amendment at all.
Speaker 1: He's just like, whatever we have to do in order
Speaker 1: to shut down the pro gun people, that's where we're
Speaker 1: going to go. If I believe that they had an idea,
Speaker 1: a law that would save lives and was not a
Speaker 1: threat to people rights on a massive scale, I'd say absolutely,
Speaker 1: let's do it. They don't have that plan, and they
Speaker 1: definitely have lots of plans that will harm Second Amendment rights,
Speaker 1: no question about it. Hey, Team buck it's time for
Speaker 1: roll calls. Man. People like Team Bucket. iHeartMedia dot com
Speaker 1: as our new our new email address. Very exciting for
Speaker 1: the show. You know, this is very exciting everybody. We
Speaker 1: have not one, but two very special producers here in
Speaker 1: the house today. We have producer Mark, who you know
Speaker 1: who is running the ship now day to day of
Speaker 1: the Freedom Hunt. And he's the one he's you know,
Speaker 1: like in Shawshank how Morgan Freeman's the guy who can
Speaker 1: get stuff done. That's his tagline. That's producer Mark. I'm
Speaker 1: the guy who crawls through a couple of hundred yards
Speaker 1: of raw sewage to get to get to freedom. That's
Speaker 1: my That's what I do here. I guess my job
Speaker 1: is to shovel the raw sewage out of the way.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Yeah, exactly. And then we have also producer
Speaker 1: John here with us, who some of you will recall.
Speaker 1: Producer John was my very first technical producer, person running
Speaker 1: the board, just making sure the show is what it's
Speaker 1: supposed to be. John. How long ago was that now?
Speaker 1: What are we we're looking at? Six seven, seven years?
Speaker 1: I think was twenty thirteen at least maybe twenty twelve. Right,
Speaker 1: so it's six or seven years now. We're going back.
Speaker 1: So have you been, by the way, we haven't seen
Speaker 1: you a little while. What's going on? I'm doing all right.
Speaker 1: I spoke to you like two weeks ago, didn't I yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, just roll with this, all right. We're doing
Speaker 1: a little bit of chit chat here on the radio show.
Speaker 1: John John cannot tell a lie. Yeah. I do the
Speaker 1: technical stuff and you just want to talk. That's correct,
Speaker 1: That is true. Don't don't forget this is role call
Speaker 1: that okay. I know that means it's other people's time
Speaker 1: to talk. See John keeps John m. Mark both keep
Speaker 1: me on the on the straight and narrow. So you
Speaker 1: guys like writing any emails? So now this is this
Speaker 1: is a thing that we have learned the last twenty
Speaker 1: four hours. The email box exploded with the messages. So
Speaker 1: that's fun, which and now we have it. I get
Speaker 1: these emails, Producer Mark gets these emails. Are it goes
Speaker 1: to our team box here. So you are all if
Speaker 1: you want to write any email team buck at iHeartMedia
Speaker 1: dot com. It's very easy and it will get right
Speaker 1: to us. So all right, if you have any if
Speaker 1: you have any bribes you know that you want to
Speaker 1: send me for doing certain segments or something. You know,
Speaker 1: if you I'm just saying that's now you want to
Speaker 1: send me the you know on the email box. No,
Speaker 1: not like real bribes like FCC violation stuff. Calm down,
Speaker 1: all right, uh David Right, I've been following you since
Speaker 1: real News. I'm seventy something thing you Beck and a
Speaker 1: few others. Keep me informed. God blessing Shields High. Well, David,
Speaker 1: welcome to Roll Call, and thank you so much for
Speaker 1: writing in Paul. Thanks to producer Mark. You're getting a
Speaker 1: lot of love. By the way, apparently, you know, you
Speaker 1: take over the ship here and all of a sudden
Speaker 1: things happen and now everyone's like, oh, producer Mark. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I love all the emails that say thank you, Producer Marcus.
Speaker 1: It's pretty much all of the wonderful. Thanks to producer
Speaker 1: Mark for setting up the new address. With my strong
Speaker 1: distaste of Facebook, I appreciate a way to reach out.
Speaker 1: Before I give the customary Shields High, I need an
Speaker 1: update on Shields High. Where are we at with the
Speaker 1: warrior monks in the island of Malta? I know you're
Speaker 1: busy with the move to the new Diggs, but I'm hooked.
Speaker 1: I need more content. Great show shields hid Paul in Wisconsin.
Speaker 1: Paul Malta is next, and Malta, as you know, is
Speaker 1: one of my all time favorite battles. So I will
Speaker 1: absolutely get it done. I cannot tell you when, though.
Speaker 1: I have to get a draft of my socialism book
Speaker 1: done with Stansbury first, with Stansbury Research, and then we
Speaker 1: can start doing some curated We're not curated. What's the
Speaker 1: word specialty? We call it specialty podcasts. So I'm working
Speaker 1: on it. Let's us see here we have hold on
Speaker 1: Steve hey Buck Greetings from the Live, free or Die
Speaker 1: state of New Hampshire. I'm a longtime Real News OSS
Speaker 1: Team Buck member. Just had a thought that maybe for
Speaker 1: any of those multi hour town hall propaganda platforms, maybe
Speaker 1: you should look for Team Buck volunteers to head into
Speaker 1: the breach and report on the highlights of let's say
Speaker 1: our one or hour two, etc. Because no one should
Speaker 1: have to be subjected to that kind of abuse of
Speaker 1: thought and sensibility for longer than an hour than have
Speaker 1: them report on the highlights. M That's an interesting idea.
Speaker 1: A couple of Netflix Amazon Prime series Thoughts Longmire, a
Speaker 1: modern day sheriff Indian reservation drama, and a Canadian series
Speaker 1: called nineteen two which is a cop drama, and of
Speaker 1: course Shields Way High. Um, producer, producer, John what is
Speaker 1: what is your Netflix show of choice these days? We
Speaker 1: haven't asked you that in a while. UM. I like
Speaker 1: Stranger Things, and believe it or not, I like Glow.
Speaker 1: Isn't that about the Lady Wrestlers? Yeah? Hey, nothing, you know,
Speaker 1: you don't need to, but that's it. I don't really
Speaker 1: watch too much Netflix. However, I do watch Hulu and
Speaker 1: you have a show called Future Man, which is not
Speaker 1: for the kids, but it's a sci fi it's kind
Speaker 1: of funny. So uh it's from Seth Rogan m so
Speaker 1: you can imagine the kind of humor that's in there. Ah,
Speaker 1: I got you, all right, I'm gonna to check that
Speaker 1: one out. But Glow huh. Lady Wrestlers, Oh, some people
Speaker 1: like wrestling with ladies. So it sounds like this is
Speaker 1: a thing that people might want to check out on Netflix. A.
Speaker 1: We have more coming in the box. We got a
Speaker 1: lot in the box here today. Let's see here Rocky Buck.
Speaker 1: I'm excited for the new show format. Will you be
Speaker 1: live at any time? Will you take calls? You're the
Speaker 1: best shields high Rocky. We got to figure that out.
Speaker 1: We are going to be in the digital era, so
Speaker 1: there'll be ways I think that we could set it up.
Speaker 1: But the most likely thing that I think will end
Speaker 1: up happening is we may establish a couple of times
Speaker 1: during the week when we either go live to take calls,
Speaker 1: or when we will just specifically be taking calls live
Speaker 1: and then air it maybe the next day or something.
Speaker 1: We're going to figure it out. Basically, Producer Mark is
Speaker 1: going to tell me what's possible and and then we'll
Speaker 1: go from there. You know. Yeah, once I figure out
Speaker 1: what's possible, I'll let you know exactly. Yeah. He's he's
Speaker 1: the one, you know, I come, I have all these dreams,
Speaker 1: you know, all these and he's the one who's like,
Speaker 1: you actually need electricity to do that, you know something,
Speaker 1: you need to have things in place, so we all
Speaker 1: you know, it's all right. Sometimes he crushes my hopes
Speaker 1: and dreams, but it's important because otherwise I would think
Speaker 1: that I could take calls and I couldn't and that's
Speaker 1: no fun for anyone that's not working. When people start
Speaker 1: diling like mad, they think they can get through and
Speaker 1: they can't, that's no good. Nobody likes that. Andrew Shield's
Speaker 1: high dog, dawg. What do you think about cryptocurrency? I
Speaker 1: believe the third largest crypto is being set up as
Speaker 1: the new world currency. What do you think? You know, Andrew? Cryptocurrency.
Speaker 1: It's almost like talking about religion or the meaning of life.
Speaker 1: You know, people have such divergent theories about it. I
Speaker 1: have heard very very intelligent people go from cryptocurrency is
Speaker 1: going to change global economics forever, and the blockchain technology
Speaker 1: will have enormous impact and influence on our lives. We
Speaker 1: can just begin to fathom right now. And I know
Speaker 1: people who are like, we already use digital currency. It's
Speaker 1: called every credit card and banking transaction you do. This
Speaker 1: is all essentially a scam. And blockchain technology is interesting,
Speaker 1: but it's not going to be as world changing as
Speaker 1: other people say it is. And most crypto currencies, I
Speaker 1: I've heard from pretty much everybody who follows this stuff
Speaker 1: that most cryptocurrencies will be worth nothing. Think of it
Speaker 1: the way that you think of Google or search engines.
Speaker 1: A lot of people could set up search engines. There
Speaker 1: were a bunch of them. Ever, it was like, uh,
Speaker 1: ask Jeeves dog piled, you were dog piles. That still
Speaker 1: a thing. That was a I don't know. It was
Speaker 1: too young for me. Yeah yeah, we didn't. Producer Mark,
Speaker 1: we'd even know old. Both of you guys. I never
Speaker 1: know if you're older or younger than me. We went
Speaker 1: over this. I'm much younger than you, I know, but
Speaker 1: it makes me sad to have to know that, you know,
Speaker 1: because now I feel old. I mean, I can say
Speaker 1: that I'm forty five cranky like a forty five, I'm
Speaker 1: pretty cranky. Producer John, he's more. He's my contemporary. So no,
Speaker 1: I'm older than you, Buck, Yeah no, but we're close.
Speaker 1: So you know, we gotta keep these young whipper snappers
Speaker 1: over here. Like Producer Mark in line, he gets all
Speaker 1: he gets all uppity. Um he whoa Chris, Oh nope,
Speaker 1: that's a that's a that's a company email. I gotta
Speaker 1: get better at this. That's better. Really, Like everybody, make
Speaker 1: sure you change your passwords once a year, Scott. Thank goodness,
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton has an email address I've tried to figure
Speaker 1: out for over a year how to send anything to
Speaker 1: roll call. You guys should all send stots, many of
Speaker 1: you who are original Squad no stots. She's she's been
Speaker 1: one of one of our og oss and she would
Speaker 1: occasionally a poke and prod about this via Twitter, just
Speaker 1: say hey, where's that email address? And I kept feeling
Speaker 1: increasingly guilty for not falling through on the promise, so
Speaker 1: I task producer Mark with it, and he actually got
Speaker 1: it done. But Scott writes, I could not find anything
Speaker 1: on the Facebook page and never heard any directions on
Speaker 1: the show. Welcome to nineteen ninety four, and take the
Speaker 1: time to watch a number of the nineteen sixties Twilight
Speaker 1: Zone episodes. They are very powerful, powerful dramas in black
Speaker 1: and white. Shields high Scott, all right, cool, all right,
Speaker 1: will check it out. Tom. I heard you mentioned the
Speaker 1: movie Doctor's Strange Glove a few months back. I assume
Speaker 1: you were talking about Stanley Kubrick's classic doctor Doctor Strange Love. Yes,
Speaker 1: you're not the first one to point this out to me.
Speaker 1: Doctor Doctor Strange Glove is a very different place. That's
Speaker 1: a that's downtown. I'm talking about that on the radio.
Speaker 1: But let's say you gotta sounds like Time Square in
Speaker 1: the seventies. It's yeah, you gotta pay extra for doctor
Speaker 1: Strange Glove, but doctor Strange love is uh, yeah, that's
Speaker 1: a thing anyway, Tom writes, I listened almost every day
Speaker 1: on the way home from work, and the question always
Speaker 1: crosses my mind. Were you named for George C. Scott's
Speaker 1: amazing Buck Turginson? Can you shed any light here? Thanks
Speaker 1: for the email address. I refuse to use Facebook shield side. Well, Tom,
Speaker 1: you're not the only one. A lot of people have
Speaker 1: said I assumed I thought all of you were on Facebook.
Speaker 1: Turns out that there are a lot of you who
Speaker 1: don't want to use Facebook, So there is that um
Speaker 1: and I would just say, where was I on this? Oh?
Speaker 1: Where does my name come from? My middle name is Buckman,
Speaker 1: which is where buck comes from. And that is a
Speaker 1: family name. I believe it's from my mother's maternal grandmother.
Speaker 1: Her maiden name was Buckman. If I'm gonna get that
Speaker 1: one wrong, Mom, I'm sorry, you'll tell me later after
Speaker 1: the show. But I think that's right. So it's a
Speaker 1: family name, and I believe it's German for Buchman, which
Speaker 1: is a librarian or perhaps an erudite fellow who just
Speaker 1: likes books. We have more roll call in a second.
Speaker 1: Stay right there, seeing Buck, it's time for a roll call.
Speaker 1: All right, we're continuing here with our Friday roll call
Speaker 1: to close it out for the weekend. Remember Facebook dot
Speaker 1: com slash buck Sexton is in effect. Also Buck, I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: Team buck At. iHeartMedia, Team Bucket, iHeartMedia dot com. That
Speaker 1: is how you send us all of the things you
Speaker 1: need to tell us for the show. And there you go,
Speaker 1: TJ Right, Happy Friday, Bucks. I'm a little over halfway
Speaker 1: through Victor Davis Hanson's The Case for Trump. It's very
Speaker 1: good book. It got me thinking a bit. Here's an
Speaker 1: idea or scenario, some of which has come true, while
Speaker 1: the rest of it is perhaps wishful thinking. That came
Speaker 1: to mind. The election of Trump brought a more simple
Speaker 1: realism to conservatism that not so intellectuals could understand and
Speaker 1: believe in, while at the same time making the show,
Speaker 1: making the left show it's true self because of the
Speaker 1: dislike for his brashness. All right, I think we'll be
Speaker 1: looking at a momentum shift in this country the likes
Speaker 1: of which we've never seen. Will be able to truly
Speaker 1: harness the truth about conserve ratism that he's made oh
Speaker 1: so clear, and really do some intellectual damage to the
Speaker 1: Democratic Party without the Trump's stigma in our way. All right, TJ,
Speaker 1: thank you. I had to cut that short because that
Speaker 1: was very long, but I appreciate you sending us in
Speaker 1: Gary rides. Where can you be heard? I'm in Montana. Well, Gary,
Speaker 1: we're on a one hundred and sixty stations. I don't
Speaker 1: really know. I don't know where we are heard on Montana,
Speaker 1: but I could tell you. You You could always download the
Speaker 1: show and you can hear it same day any time
Speaker 1: you want, or listen to it whenever you want. And
Speaker 1: you can do that on iTunes or on the iHeartRadio apps.
Speaker 1: Type in Buck Sexton. It'll all pop up for you there,
Speaker 1: and starting soon you can watch a video stream of
Speaker 1: the show that will be on Pluto, the Pluto TV app,
Speaker 1: and we will be channel two forty eight I believe
Speaker 1: channel two forty eight on Pluto. If you haven't seen
