Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom hunt. We are days away
Speaker 1: from the historic summit with Kim Jong Un and President Trump.
Speaker 1: What can we expect will happen and what should we
Speaker 1: be looking for? Also a another look at whether Russia
Speaker 1: should be included once again in the G seven and
Speaker 1: some fresh pardons that Trump is considering. What will we
Speaker 1: make of that? And what is the left gonna say
Speaker 1: if he keeps on making the right moves there? That
Speaker 1: are more coming up. This is the Buck Sexton Show,
Speaker 1: where the mission or mission is to decode what really
Speaker 1: matters with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake American, You're a
Speaker 1: great American Again The Buck Sexton Show begins much no,
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Buck Sex and Show. We are here
Speaker 1: on Friday together. Thank you so much for being here.
Speaker 1: Great to uh have a chance to chat with you.
Speaker 1: It is a is a Friday, so eight four four
Speaker 1: to eight to five, eight four four nine, Buck. I
Speaker 1: I have to say, I really like, I really like
Speaker 1: the the Trump approach so far on pardons. I've been
Speaker 1: discussing this with you all for a while, but I
Speaker 1: think that the President understands that it's yet again one
Speaker 1: of these opportunities where he has the chance to clarify.
Speaker 1: He has the chance to show that no matter what
Speaker 1: action he takes, there are people with platforms in the
Speaker 1: media who will try to tear him down for it.
Speaker 1: Trump can pardon people that the left has been raging
Speaker 1: about their incarceration for years. Trump can do very clear
Speaker 1: outreach to UH minority groups or whatever it may be.
Speaker 1: They will try to tear him down for it. And
Speaker 1: I saw day there was the possibility of a uh. Well,
Speaker 1: here we have the president talking about play clip seven.
Speaker 1: There will be more parts. I thought Alice yesterday was beautiful.
Speaker 1: I thought Jack Johnson, which was recommended by Silvestis Loan
Speaker 1: and some great boxers. I'm thinking about somebody that you
Speaker 1: all know very well, and he went through a lot
Speaker 1: and he wasn't very popular. Then he's circuly his memory
Speaker 1: is very popular. Now I'm thinking about Muhammad Ali. Muhammad
Speaker 1: Ali may in fact be the next the next pardon.
Speaker 1: Now it would be a posthumous pardon. It would be
Speaker 1: obviously after Muhammad les passed away. And there is also
Speaker 1: the fact that he has covered under I believe a
Speaker 1: larger amnesty. He didn't register for selective service and so
Speaker 1: but it's a gesture Now people could say that the
Speaker 1: gesture is I don't know. Some will say that it's
Speaker 1: the right thing to do, other those say it's an
Speaker 1: empty gesture. But notice how the battle lines here are
Speaker 1: drawn specifically by those who like Trump and those who
Speaker 1: don't like Trump. The battle lines will not be about
Speaker 1: whether this was something that at a previous point in
Speaker 1: time the left would have said, you know what's that's
Speaker 1: something that needs to happen, something that needs to get done.
Speaker 1: So he shows us once once again that this is
Speaker 1: all about opposing Trump, no matter what the cost, no
Speaker 1: matter what the issue, And on pardon specifically, it is
Speaker 1: a way to remind all of us that what we've
Speaker 1: been told for last year over the Russia Trump collusion situation,
Speaker 1: what we've been told for the last year is that
Speaker 1: the FBI is infallible. Okay, I'm i overstate. The FBI
Speaker 1: is largely beyond reproach the media, the media trash cops,
Speaker 1: but FBI leadership in d C. They deserve nothing but
Speaker 1: the utmost respect total patriots like James Comey. Although let's
Speaker 1: remember that when that IG report comes out, above blame
Speaker 1: and above reproach um, the IG report is going to
Speaker 1: I think put many large holes in that notion. But
Speaker 1: they've been relying on Trump is undermining our institutions. He's
Speaker 1: undermining our institutions, and that's also part of the drumbeat
Speaker 1: of those institutions have functions. Those functions results in decisions,
Speaker 1: and and those decisions must be respected. Right that the
Speaker 1: process gives us an outcome, and the outcome is something
Speaker 1: that we have to accept. So whether they decide to
Speaker 1: indict Hillary or not, it's that's the way it is,
Speaker 1: right because they have the right. We shouldn't think about
Speaker 1: whether this is just, whether it's politicized, whether there were
Speaker 1: other indicators, here are other things that should be brought
Speaker 1: into our consideration of the issue. The process is all
Speaker 1: we need to know with pardons, though, all of a
Speaker 1: sudden you hear them say, whoa Trump shouldn't know you
Speaker 1: can't do that, Well, yeah, he can do that, and
Speaker 1: he is doing it. And this is yet another moment
Speaker 1: where you see that the executive as emperor that was
Speaker 1: when into overdrive under them administration, and people like me
Speaker 1: on record, all conservatives that I know who do this
Speaker 1: for a living, we're saying, you know, guys, this stuff
Speaker 1: with the executive orders and with the remember Obama would
Speaker 1: say things out loud like you know, and I've got
Speaker 1: to put a phone and and he would say that
Speaker 1: he's gonna go around Congress, and the left would cheer
Speaker 1: for this. Right, the left would cheer. They would say,
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, you know, he's not going to allow
Speaker 1: obstruction to stand away. Well, that's actually the function of
Speaker 1: that's actually the function of those different bodies, right, that's
Speaker 1: the the purpose of Congress is to make decisions about
Speaker 1: whether or not Congress is gonna pass certain laws. It's
Speaker 1: not to say, hey, hey, President, what law should we pass?
Speaker 1: Oh cool that law, sign me up. That's not the
Speaker 1: way it's supposed to go. That is not the way
Speaker 1: that this should be looked at. But they dispensed with
Speaker 1: all when it came to Obama, and now with Trump,
Speaker 1: all of a Suddeny're like, whoa executive power? There's a
Speaker 1: lot of a lot of parent the executive and you know,
Speaker 1: we we warned them, but they didn't care. Because power
Speaker 1: is the ultimate end goal. It's the single most important
Speaker 1: desire of progressivism is the attainment of power and wielding power.
Speaker 1: That's it. Everything else the ill they'll shoehorn other things
Speaker 1: into it, but it is all about the state and
Speaker 1: what the state can do. And so that it's with
Speaker 1: that in mind that I see these pardons in the
Speaker 1: discussion of them and how they are opposed to it.
Speaker 1: But they can't say that. It's this is so clear cut, right.
Speaker 1: The president can pardon people. He has that power. They say, oh, well,
Speaker 1: he went outside the normal channels, or they're complaining that
Speaker 1: celebrities are getting pardon the arbitrary folks. It always has
Speaker 1: been who gets a pardon whoever the president wants, kind
Speaker 1: of like firing people. Who can the president fire the
Speaker 1: executive branch that is answerable to him in the chain
Speaker 1: of command. Well, you can fire James Comey as he
Speaker 1: did for any reason or no reason. That is his right.
Speaker 1: Just like he can decide that he wants to pardon
Speaker 1: somebody because he likes their boat shoes, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. You can pardon somebody for any reason. And
Speaker 1: and they still try to find ways to oppose this.
Speaker 1: There's this this pathetic clawing at the UH at the
Speaker 1: last yeah, you know, their last effort here trying to
Speaker 1: find something with with Trump that is unconstitutional is gone.
Speaker 1: But no, it's all there he's done what he's supposed
Speaker 1: to do. He's been doing what he should do all along.
Speaker 1: But he also threw an interesting, an interesting uh addition
Speaker 1: into things today and had to produce your Mike for
Speaker 1: bring this one of my attention. You got people ask
Speaker 1: him questions on his way to uh. He's got a
Speaker 1: press gagle, he's on his way to a meeting, and
Speaker 1: he put this out there. And this time is in
Speaker 1: protests with the NFL and pardons, the pardons that could
Speaker 1: be coming in the future. Play Cliff ten instead of talk.
Speaker 1: It's all talk, talk talk. We have a great country.
Speaker 1: You should stand for our national anthem. You shouldn't go
Speaker 1: in a locker room when our national anthem is played.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask all of those people to recommend to me,
Speaker 1: because that's what they're protesting. People that they think we're
Speaker 1: unfairly treated by the justice system. And I'm gonna take
Speaker 1: a look at those applications and if I find and
Speaker 1: my committee finds that they're unfairly treated, then we will
Speaker 1: pardon them or at least let them out. The President
Speaker 1: is now turning to NFL players and saying, look, you know,
Speaker 1: bring it to my attention, who who has been, who
Speaker 1: has been unfairly treated, who has been over incarcerated or
Speaker 1: perhaps even incarcerated unjustly. Who you there is, we'll see.
Speaker 1: But are they not willing to engage because I saw
Speaker 1: that earlier in the week, Kim Kardashian shows up with
Speaker 1: a specific request in mind and and put it put
Speaker 1: aside for the moment, whether you agree. And I read
Speaker 1: that uh note yesterday during roll call from somebody who
Speaker 1: disagrees with the pardon that Trump signed for that woman
Speaker 1: who had been in prison for twenty years for drug conspiracy.
Speaker 1: I'll put that aside for a moment. Kardashian had an ask.
Speaker 1: She's a citizen, she's petitioning her government. She's gonna talk.
Speaker 1: And it's at least it's a request for clemency, right,
Speaker 1: it's not a request for some green energy boon doggle
Speaker 1: or throw more funds my way courtesy of the taxpayer.
Speaker 1: And we'll call it something else, stimulus or something. So
Speaker 1: they were willing to criticize that. They won't even make
Speaker 1: the allowance there of Hey, we're against him on most stuff,
Speaker 1: but on this we will finally, we'll finally stop. And
Speaker 1: I just believe that the the Trump's arrangement syndrome has
Speaker 1: gotten to a point now are the only way the
Speaker 1: only way forward is to just keep hammering them, just
Speaker 1: keep pushing them. Keeps forced them to come out and
Speaker 1: say things that expose how unfair the medias treatment the
Speaker 1: president is, how unfair they're framing their narrative of this
Speaker 1: entire administration has been and will continue to be and
Speaker 1: hopefully bring about some change in that behavior, change in
Speaker 1: those attitudes. I don't know if it's possible, but I
Speaker 1: also know there's really not much of an alternative. There's
Speaker 1: not much an alternative, and and the power of pardons
Speaker 1: is something that President Trump has wielded very very effectively
Speaker 1: so far. You know, he's not letting people out that
Speaker 1: everyone goes, oh my gosh, that guy's that guy's an
Speaker 1: axe murderer. We can't let him out of prison. Nope.
Speaker 1: He is picking cases that bring to mind, not just
Speaker 1: the specific injustices of those cases, but he's reminding us all,
Speaker 1: don't put too much faith in this system, folks. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's the system we've got. We're trying to make it better,
Speaker 1: and but let's not act like it's infallible. And certainly
Speaker 1: not act that way because of a partisan impulse. And
Speaker 1: that's what's been happening here. That's what's been happening. Oh,
Speaker 1: I have to say, there was much more scrutiny of
Speaker 1: Trump's pardon of uh, Mike, the name is Alice. Her
Speaker 1: name is escaping. What's her last name, Alice Marie Johnson.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Alice Marie Johnson. Much more scrutiny of that
Speaker 1: decision that then I recall, Okay, this is my recollection
Speaker 1: when Obama community the sentence of Oscar Lopez Rivera, who
Speaker 1: was had blood on his hands, was a terrorist, a
Speaker 1: a Puerto Rican separatist terrorists. So I think that the
Speaker 1: president's in the right things here. I think that he's
Speaker 1: showing us all what's really going on. Um, it is Friday,
Speaker 1: so you know what, and I've been working some movie
Speaker 1: quotes into the show in the week, so John pulled
Speaker 1: us all together for us. Actually movie quote Friday hit it.
Speaker 1: Have you seen you here? I hope not? Sporadically. Three,
Speaker 1: for lack of a better word, is good Fridays. It's
Speaker 1: like people only do things because they get paid Fridays.
Speaker 1: And that's just truly sad. Yeah, that's right. Awesome movie
Speaker 1: quote Friday, not actually a quote Friday. I got this
Speaker 1: confused for a second. So I think a lot of
Speaker 1: you will be able to remember those different lines that
Speaker 1: I share with you during over the course of the show.
Speaker 1: So there you have it. UM eight four four n
Speaker 1: eight to five. You want to chat, We've got lines open.
Speaker 1: I'm here in the swamp. I love the every team.
Speaker 1: I really do look forward to this part of my
Speaker 1: day every day, this opportunity to chat with all of you,
Speaker 1: and especially I'm in a new place, surrounded by a
Speaker 1: lot of swamp creatures. Unfortunately our people are in charge, right,
Speaker 1: but surrounded by a lot of swamp creatures. It's good
Speaker 1: that you guys are my or my lifeline to the
Speaker 1: real world here every day on the on the radio waves.
Speaker 1: We even sent out way, Yeah, that's the waves, because right,
Speaker 1: that's how that's how radio works. Uh. And with that,
Speaker 1: we'll be right back Where aware is Milannia Trump. She
Speaker 1: was last seen in public on May ten, That was
Speaker 1: eighteen days ago. One thing that the President in the
Speaker 1: White House has been quite quiet about is Malannia Trump
Speaker 1: and her status. There's been a lot of questions about
Speaker 1: her surgery, her time at Walter Read and now her invisibility.
Speaker 1: The last time we caught a glimpse of her was
Speaker 1: on May twenty four days, more than three weeks. One
Speaker 1: thing we did not see was First Lady Annie A. Trump.
Speaker 1: The First Lady has not been seen in public for
Speaker 1: twenty five days, twenty six days without being in the
Speaker 1: public eye. She's doing stuff in the White House. Isn't
Speaker 1: there a picture? She didn't go to Camp David with
Speaker 1: the weekend and he took some of his children and
Speaker 1: now his young son. You know, where's the picture? David Frum,
Speaker 1: who's the Atlantic senior editor to your eyes last weekend
Speaker 1: of tweets some basically saying uh that President Trump could
Speaker 1: have possibly beaten his wife and covered it up. The
Speaker 1: tweet says closed President Trump punched the First Lady in
Speaker 1: the White House and then ordered the Secret Service to
Speaker 1: conceal the assaulting. A lot of questions being asked about
Speaker 1: something that there shouldn't be any question over. First Lady
Speaker 1: had to have a kidney procedure. She had to have surgery.
Speaker 1: It's has been known, it's been known all along. But
Speaker 1: you will also note that in that series that we
Speaker 1: played for you, of of questions there there's meant to
Speaker 1: be a kind of yeah, maybe there's something sinister going
Speaker 1: on here. Vibe to it all there, there's they're supposed
Speaker 1: to be a well, you know, maybe something's being covered
Speaker 1: up or we're not being told something, because otherwise, how
Speaker 1: is this even a story? How is this even something
Speaker 1: that anyone needs to ask about? Well, I can tell
Speaker 1: you that when you dig into this a little more,
Speaker 1: you find and Trump responded. Trump wrote about this. He
Speaker 1: wrote that the fake news media has been so unfair
Speaker 1: and vicious to my wife and our great first Lady,
Speaker 1: Milania during her recovery from surgery. They reported everything from
Speaker 1: near death to facelift, to left the White House for
Speaker 1: New York or Virginia, to abuse, all fakes. She's doing
Speaker 1: really well now. Of course, the peddlers of fake news
Speaker 1: came and said, that's not true. The media, you know,
Speaker 1: they always think the media means them. That's a tough
Speaker 1: thing to speak for the media. But he had the
Speaker 1: New York Times, and I had to brief Hayton of
Speaker 1: the federals who pulled all these togethers. New York Times
Speaker 1: implied the timing of milannis kidney surgery was suspect. You
Speaker 1: had the Roots say that Milania uh a, Milannia had
Speaker 1: a body double at an event. You had rolling a
Speaker 1: Rolling Stone writer Jamille Smith suggest that Milanni's absence was
Speaker 1: due to physical abuse. You had Politico uh blaming the
Speaker 1: White House for stoking conspiracy theories and then proceeding to
Speaker 1: do just that about this whole Milannia situation. And the
Speaker 1: situation isn't the first lady had to have surgery. I
Speaker 1: just hope she's doing well. You know, it's also someone's
Speaker 1: wife and a mom and someone's daughter, right, I mean,
Speaker 1: these journals journalists are savages. I think one of the
Speaker 1: problems that I have in d C. They're just all
Speaker 1: these these just puff shirt you know, clownish journalists running
Speaker 1: all over the place who are not nice people, very petty,
Speaker 1: very vindictive and really distasteful. And I do not like them.
Speaker 1: And that's a problem. You know, in New York can
Speaker 1: kind of ignore people a little bit more because it's
Speaker 1: such a big city that you just kind of you do.
Speaker 1: Everyone's ignoring everybody, so you actually have it in a
Speaker 1: weird way in New York a tremendous amount of privacy
Speaker 1: because nobody cares there's so many people and so much
Speaker 1: going on that nobody cares, you know, in d C.
Speaker 1: I walk around. I gotta walk past the Washington Post
Speaker 1: all the time, and I'm like, uh, yeah, it feels
Speaker 1: so it feels so swampy. I just don't like how
Speaker 1: swampy it all feels. And eight four four nine Buck,
Speaker 1: eight four four to eight to five, you like to chat.
Speaker 1: We've got some lines late. We could take a couple
Speaker 1: more calls, um, kind of talk to you about some
Speaker 1: breaking news that on the clip side. I don't know
Speaker 1: how else to say, though, And it's look, it's really
Speaker 1: it's really sad. It's a couple of really sad news stories.
Speaker 1: But I don't think we're gonna spend some time on
Speaker 1: He's holding the line for America. Buck Sexton his back.
Speaker 1: All right, we've got some calls here, let's get to it.
Speaker 1: And now I knew this, I knew this day would come.
Speaker 1: This is a question to when. But here we are.
Speaker 1: I am not the only Buck in the universe. There
Speaker 1: is in fact another Buck out there. He is calling
Speaker 1: in right now from Mobile, Alabama. But great to have
Speaker 1: you on. How's it going? Man? Your name is awesome.
Speaker 1: Other than that I'm good. Yeah, I've been listening to
Speaker 1: you for quite a while now. Thank you for two
Speaker 1: years every Yeah, they just put you on the radio
Speaker 1: about two years ago. I'm gonna listen to you ever since.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much. What I'm calling about is any
Speaker 1: media is is reacting to Milania not being out in
Speaker 1: the public showing her face this and that. I mean,
Speaker 1: for conal laws, you just had surgery. That's pretty major
Speaker 1: surgery from what I hear, and she's having a hard
Speaker 1: time of covering from it, you know, And it just
Speaker 1: doesn't make any kind of sense of how the media
Speaker 1: wants to focus on why is she not showing her
Speaker 1: face whenever they should be focused on what's going on
Speaker 1: into this country and what's going on you know out
Speaker 1: and abroad and the immigration and all this kind of stuff.
Speaker 1: It just doesn't make any sense to me about why
Speaker 1: do they focus on her not being you know, well
Speaker 1: right now they should be wishing that she gets the
Speaker 1: feeling better, you know, hoping for you know, good health
Speaker 1: and all that, instead of just trying to Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: really nasty, I mean, it's it's very It just shows
Speaker 1: such a lack of of kindness quite honestly and just
Speaker 1: a lack of consideration. Yeah, it's common decency. I mean
Speaker 1: I was dealing with something like this the other day
Speaker 1: at work about you know, how can people be so
Speaker 1: rude and in considerate of others? And because whenever I
Speaker 1: don't whenever I'm in public or even when I met
Speaker 1: the house my wife and kids, I always trying to
Speaker 1: think about their well being before or do my own.
Speaker 1: And then once I know that they're okay, I'm worried
Speaker 1: about myself. And it's the same thing with me. They
Speaker 1: don't care about nobody else with themselves and their agenda.
Speaker 1: That's yeah, that's true, man, Buck, thank you so much
Speaker 1: for calling in. It feels a little like I was
Speaker 1: speaking to myself there as a little Freudian. It's like Bucks,
Speaker 1: so tell me all of your dreams, you know. It's
Speaker 1: like Buck speaking of Buck. I'd probably do a segment
Speaker 1: with that. I get to ask me the questions that
Speaker 1: if I were you, i'd ask me. That makes some sense,
Speaker 1: I think John in Cincinnati, Ohio? What up? John? So
Speaker 1: Buck a long time with a long time listener, first
Speaker 1: multiple time caller, Actually, thank you back, called you back
Speaker 1: while you're on the Blaze and I've been listening to
Speaker 1: you Saturdays since you were on Saturdays. Yes, well, thank
Speaker 1: you so much half the time. Um, I got a
Speaker 1: movie quote for you. All right, let's jim. Oh okay, well, Jim,
Speaker 1: since you are my guest and I am your host,
Speaker 1: what is your pleasure? What do you like to do? Oh?
Speaker 1: I don't know, play chess? Screw well, let's play chess.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm, I got nothing. Saddles one of the most
Speaker 1: awesome movies ever. I'm gonna tell you something, John, and
Speaker 1: it's just between you and me. Okay, I don't want
Speaker 1: you to judge, man, I want't even else to know this.
Speaker 1: I've never seen Blazing Saddles and producer Mike looked like
Speaker 1: he like he just had an a video show without
Speaker 1: knowing it. Oh wait, you haven't seen it either. Woo. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's one of the best movies of all time.
Speaker 1: I've probably been watching it off and on since I
Speaker 1: was like five. I can tell you only understanding the
Speaker 1: jokes because I grow up. I feel like there aren't
Speaker 1: that man. There are very few movies for me that
Speaker 1: are funny when I was a kid that I still
Speaker 1: think are funny when I'm older. Ghostbusters falls into that category,
Speaker 1: but if you say Blazing Saddles is also in that category,
Speaker 1: I will certainly I'll certainly give it a give it
Speaker 1: a watch. So thank you very much, John for being
Speaker 1: a listener for calling in. I appreciate it, and uh
Speaker 1: like from you, Um yeah, what's uh trying to think
Speaker 1: of my favorite western? I'm not that well. I want
Speaker 1: to see the Hostiles movie that came out. It didn't
Speaker 1: last that long to people told him it was very good,
Speaker 1: like a little bleak, a little intense, but it was
Speaker 1: very well made and it didn't do the whole I mean,
Speaker 1: I just this thing of like, you know, like everyone's
Speaker 1: every society has got their problems, right, but you notice
Speaker 1: this trend of like the you know, Native Americans are
Speaker 1: either you know, they're they're like all the all the
Speaker 1: good guys in more content contemporary movies. I know they
Speaker 1: used to be all the bad guys, right, but now
Speaker 1: it's all the good guys. And I'm always like, why
Speaker 1: do we have to politicize everything? Apparently in Hostiles, you've
Speaker 1: got you know, you know, US cavalry doing some bad things.
Speaker 1: You've got Native tribes doing some bad things. It's like
Speaker 1: like the way it was like the world. But I
Speaker 1: want to see that one. I mean, Tombstone is my
Speaker 1: favorite Western, but it also is kind of an action movie.
Speaker 1: But the bottom line is that it's really to him Stone.
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm kind of stalling because I don't
Speaker 1: even want to have to dive into our next topic
Speaker 1: because it's it's it's a bummer. But I want to
Speaker 1: share some thoughts with you about two two pieces of
Speaker 1: news that came in today. One has to do with
Speaker 1: the suicide of Anthony Bourdain, which you know that when
Speaker 1: people say it's a shock, I think suicide if someone
Speaker 1: you don't know, is always a shock because how could you.
Speaker 1: But occasionally there'll be some precursors. You know, somebody will
Speaker 1: have been, you know, maybe institutionalized, or have terrible bouts
Speaker 1: of depression, and that will be public as you have
Speaker 1: some idea Bourdaine just I would never have thought. But
Speaker 1: then again with you know, with Robin Williams, I would
Speaker 1: have never have thought, so he had the Bourdaine. And
Speaker 1: then also a note today that I saw from a
Speaker 1: personal letter from Charles crot Hammer. We'll talk about both
Speaker 1: these on the other side of the breaks. So stay
Speaker 1: with me. The Anthony Bourdain UH is dead an apparent suicide,
Speaker 1: and I'll do we'll deal with this story and then
Speaker 1: we have another very sad story, UM talk about today,
Speaker 1: another media figure. I tend to be somebody who doesn't
Speaker 1: over over personalized people that I don't know. And I
Speaker 1: never I never met boor Day. I have no personal
Speaker 1: connection whatsoever. But I do remember times when I was
Speaker 1: just all I wanted was to watch something that wasn't
Speaker 1: going to be political or at least overly political, annoyingly political,
Speaker 1: something that you could just sit back and enjoy. And
Speaker 1: it was. It was a story, it was a journey,
Speaker 1: you know. The Well. Then when I went to Vietnam
Speaker 1: some years ago, I had planned to do all this
Speaker 1: research before I went, but I one thing I did
Speaker 1: do because I didn't really have time to do all
Speaker 1: that research, was I downloaded Anthony Bourdain's UH. I downloaded
Speaker 1: his episode on iTunes of him in Vietnam, and I
Speaker 1: remember I watched it and I then went to at
Speaker 1: least one of the places he went. It was this
Speaker 1: little and I'm with my little brother, and it was
Speaker 1: really tough to find and in in this show, you
Speaker 1: had seen this being, you know, elderly Vietnamese women with
Speaker 1: a little soupcart making this, what he said, was one
Speaker 1: of the most of course, right, but one of the
Speaker 1: most delicious soups he's ever had ever. And we went
Speaker 1: to find this. It's just a cart in an alley
Speaker 1: way and we managed to, which I'm impressed to this
Speaker 1: day that we actually found it, because it wasn't a restaurant,
Speaker 1: it wasn't really marked. You had to kind of go
Speaker 1: to the neighborhood and look around. It wasn't an easy thing.
Speaker 1: And we got there. It was a motto brother. And
Speaker 1: what it was clear to me was that they had
Speaker 1: done a little bit of staging for the episode before um,
Speaker 1: before they actually filmed it, because when we got there,
Speaker 1: there was around this cart, this in this whole alleyway.
Speaker 1: There's just trash and dogs wandering everywhere and like little
Speaker 1: kind of rickety looking tiny plastic chairs for people to
Speaker 1: sit in. So it was a little like almost like
Speaker 1: a trash dump, is what it really looked like. But
Speaker 1: there was the car. I mean, when we had the soup,
Speaker 1: and you know what, the soup was incredible, and I
Speaker 1: only had it and only knew about it because of
Speaker 1: Bourdain show. So it's just, you know, I bring that
Speaker 1: up because for me, it's an example of how people
Speaker 1: you don't know, through their through their work, through their
Speaker 1: their craft, there art, there, creative endeavors can can affect
Speaker 1: your life. And some of my my favorite moments all
Speaker 1: time of doing this media thing, which I never sought
Speaker 1: out to do and was not my plan and just
Speaker 1: kind of happened. Or when people tell me that, you know,
Speaker 1: they when they were undergoing chemo, they listened to the
Speaker 1: Battle of Lepanto over and over and it gave them comfort.
Speaker 1: Or it's just which is a story that one of
Speaker 1: my beloved members of Team Buck told or sent to
Speaker 1: me some some years ago, that stuff really that can
Speaker 1: really matter, can really help people. And so Bourdain is
Speaker 1: one of those rare individuals who um really changed my
Speaker 1: thinking about the whole area of life, which is food
Speaker 1: and cooking in the culinary world. I read Kitchen Confidential long,
Speaker 1: I mean not a long, long, long time ago. I
Speaker 1: want to say, maybe I was in college. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think I was in college. And if you haven't read
Speaker 1: about it's a great book. It's very very readable. It's
Speaker 1: a really really it's a fun read, but he also
Speaker 1: learned some things about it, and he has it. He
Speaker 1: had a very good storytelling voice, and clearly was was
Speaker 1: incredibly successful. And I think it's just hard first to
Speaker 1: process that somebody who comes across that way. And I know,
Speaker 1: I know that mental illness is something that people often
Speaker 1: hide very well, hid for very long periods of time,
Speaker 1: um or you know what I mean, mental illness, severe depression, alcoholism.
Speaker 1: But when someone's whole job is to find joy and
Speaker 1: adventure and spread that to other people, it's just hard
Speaker 1: to imagine the darkness that they carry with themselves. It's
Speaker 1: it's hard to it's hard to imagine, really is so
Speaker 1: that part of it I found And I know that
Speaker 1: this week also you had Kate Spade. I wasn't familiar
Speaker 1: with with her at all except through the name from
Speaker 1: her massive, a massive clothing brand. And then you had
Speaker 1: one more. But and I'm just gonna bring it in here,
Speaker 1: even though I can talk about it longer, because you know,
Speaker 1: it's a Friday, and I don't. I am always wary
Speaker 1: of bringing us down before the weekend, though sometimes it's
Speaker 1: just the nature of this business. But this letter that
Speaker 1: was put out, it's just heartbreaking from Charles Crodhammer, who
Speaker 1: has I'm sure all of you are familiar with his
Speaker 1: work regular on Brett Brett Bears Panel on Fox News,
Speaker 1: one of the most prolific conservative columnists, if not the
Speaker 1: most prolific conservative columnists of the last thirty or forty years.
Speaker 1: And from everyone that I ever heard who interacted with
Speaker 1: the guy, and I know a lot of people that
Speaker 1: work at and have worked at Fox, was top to
Speaker 1: bottom in every way, a class act and a really
Speaker 1: kind person. And that's for for people who are prominent
Speaker 1: in national media discussions. I'll be honest, it's really in
Speaker 1: short supply these days. People are people are nasty. And
Speaker 1: one thing that I find that is troubling is that
Speaker 1: those who are in you know, those who are consumers
Speaker 1: of media, those who you know, watch certain shows, listen
Speaker 1: to certain shows. I'm always amazing like you that the
Speaker 1: choice with me that they'll listen to somebody, they won't
Speaker 1: listen to somebody who's kind and who's brilliant. Although Charles
Speaker 1: was very, very successful, but there are other people I
Speaker 1: know of what I feel like I've never really gotten
Speaker 1: their due and are really good people on top of that,
Speaker 1: but they will listen to people who are jerks, more nasty,
Speaker 1: who are debasing who, And Charles was just the antithesis
Speaker 1: of that in all of his work. Again, I can
Speaker 1: only value it and professionally, I never I never met Charles,
Speaker 1: but he wrote in this letter that he has weeks
Speaker 1: to live after a very long battle with cancer in
Speaker 1: which he had a large tumor removed from his abdomen.
Speaker 1: And here here's another time when it feels like there
Speaker 1: is there is a loss that even for those of
Speaker 1: us like me who never met Charles Krodhammer Uh, the
Speaker 1: loss will be will be made real for us because
Speaker 1: his was a voice that I think was was truly
Speaker 1: valuable in the national conversation about all kinds of things.
Speaker 1: I never once saw him, and I watched I've watched
Speaker 1: Brett Bear Show. I can't even count. They can't even
Speaker 1: begin to estimate the number of times I never once
Speaker 1: saw him Uh be belittle people or belittle anyone, be nasty,
Speaker 1: be snied, be undermining, be And it feels to me
Speaker 1: like that's actually just the direction of media now. It's
Speaker 1: all like twitter burns and nastiness and people acting in
Speaker 1: the worst spot, acting ways they would never do in person.
Speaker 1: But the truth is most most like journalists out there
Speaker 1: who are constantly walking around talking about how they're speaking
Speaker 1: through the power, kind of cowards in person. They are
Speaker 1: very very little personal courage on display from And I
Speaker 1: don't just mean like taking risks to their own personal safety.
Speaker 1: I just mean they don't do things that are risky
Speaker 1: for them. They do what is best for them all
Speaker 1: the time and then pretend to be taking the risks.
Speaker 1: But but Charles was a really important voice in the
Speaker 1: in the conversation, and and it's it's just very sad.
Speaker 1: It's very sad for his family. And I know for
Speaker 1: a lot of my friends are Fox who know Charles
Speaker 1: and worked with them for years and years. It's I
Speaker 1: don't know what else to say. It's been a rough
Speaker 1: been a rough week for news stories of of beloved
Speaker 1: figures who have had a major impact on a lot
Speaker 1: of lives around the world. And two suicides and uh
Speaker 1: kind of losing battle against cancer. It's tough, you know.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm just gonna I want to leave it there
Speaker 1: for now. I can't spend much more time on it
Speaker 1: because it's gonna bring me down to And I am
Speaker 1: cognizant of you spending your time with me here. And
Speaker 1: I don't want us to. I don't want us to
Speaker 1: get you down, but I had to note and you know,
Speaker 1: prayers to the families of Bourdain and cry Well Krawdheimer
Speaker 1: still with us. And look, I don't want to be
Speaker 1: naive or anything, but you know, he said he's losing
Speaker 1: his battle in all his weeks to live. But you
Speaker 1: never know, you never know. So there there is that
Speaker 1: you never know, Kenny from Boston. Maybe you can cheer
Speaker 1: me up a little bit, my friend. What's up? Yes,
Speaker 1: let's hope for a miracle cure for Charles Crowdehammer. I
Speaker 1: always loved him, and I never knew that he was
Speaker 1: actually a quartriplegic. And he was in the um. You know,
Speaker 1: he was in a wheel chair. I watched him so
Speaker 1: many times and I so oh he always sits so erect.
Speaker 1: I never figured it out, you know, and he was
Speaker 1: he was really good all the time. And uh so
Speaker 1: I don't know, I've and say this, you know, Kenny,
Speaker 1: I don't know anybody else at that level of the
Speaker 1: punditry game who I've never seen step out of line
Speaker 1: with anybody or ack like a jerk. I mean in
Speaker 1: the way that he you know, to be the absolute peak,
Speaker 1: the absolute top and never getting nasty. It was pretty amazing,
Speaker 1: old school civility best. And anyway, so I got a question,
Speaker 1: and um and I also have a movie quote. So
Speaker 1: what I wanted to know is, what are you postulating
Speaker 1: on what Mula or Mueller is going to be dropping
Speaker 1: when Trump has this uh nuclear thing, because he always
Speaker 1: in the timing is always uncanny, you know, you always
Speaker 1: kind of dropped something at a moment when something is
Speaker 1: either good for Trump or you know, it's it's not
Speaker 1: by accident, and so that's uh that And um, so
Speaker 1: I was just wondering what you think. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean, I can't read into Mueller's you know, Ruller's
Speaker 1: thinking on this. And unfortunately, I don't think we have
Speaker 1: time for the movie quote, Kenny, because we've got to
Speaker 1: go into ah our next hour here. But thank you
Speaker 1: thanks for calling her brother. I appreciate it. Good to
Speaker 1: hear from you and just just hear your voice from
Speaker 1: up in Boston. Kenny. It uh, it's giving us a
Speaker 1: little boost here, which is great. So we're gonna be
Speaker 1: joined by our friend of Michael Malice here shortly, we'll
Speaker 1: be talking to us about North Korea. He's got some
Speaker 1: really interesting insights on it. Given the summit is just
Speaker 1: days away, so stare right there. The FBI calls home
Speaker 1: title theft one of the fastest growing crimes. Brace yourself
Speaker 1: because once you've had your credit card sol and that's

Speaker 1: decoding the news and disseminating information with actionable intelligence. Make
Speaker 1: no mistakes, American, You're a great American again. This is
Speaker 1: the buck Sexton shown. No will they call it their
Speaker 1: first one, the first alleged alleged leaker of classified information
Speaker 1: tied to the Russia collusion. Nonsense? A former Senate Intelligence
Speaker 1: Committee aid was arrested, James Wolfe. But he was arrested
Speaker 1: for lying to investigators about his contacts with three reporters.
Speaker 1: They said that he made false statements to the FBI
Speaker 1: providing them, Uh, well about providing classified information or just
Speaker 1: even just talking to Oh no, yeah, he never ever
Speaker 1: gave classified information to journalists. Uh, Mr Wolfe, According to
Speaker 1: this the Intelligence Committee's director of security, Oh wow, look
Speaker 1: at that. The director of securities later to appear before
Speaker 1: a federal jury today. And his case is interesting because
Speaker 1: the seizure was disclosed in a letter to Ali Watkins,
Speaker 1: a New York Times reporter who had been in a
Speaker 1: three year long relationship with Mr Wolfe. Now there's a
Speaker 1: lot going on here. There's a lot happening here, and
Speaker 1: I will just say this. Uh. First of all, I
Speaker 1: I do not like I I am very uncomfortable with,
Speaker 1: as a general matter, any seizure of journalists records for
Speaker 1: the purpose of finding leaks. I think that it is
Speaker 1: a slippery slope. I think it is dangerous unless there's
Speaker 1: a very clear um national security safety rationale behind it.
Speaker 1: You know. I think you have to balance out because
Speaker 1: when once the government can start seizing your all your
Speaker 1: communications and tracking down your sources, I mean, there's really
Speaker 1: no such thing as sources anymore, right for for journalists,
Speaker 1: So that becomes an issue except in the most extreme circumstances.
Speaker 1: So I do want to say that. I will also
Speaker 1: say that one of the problems that the media has
Speaker 1: here is that they had a a moderated response, a
Speaker 1: a kind of muted response, shall we say, to the
Speaker 1: fact that the Obama administration use the Espionage Act more
Speaker 1: than every administration before it combined, listed James Rosen a
Speaker 1: Fox News as an unindicted co conspirator in one League case,
Speaker 1: and that Obama was the worst, the worst president when
Speaker 1: it came to press freedom, since at least Woodrow Wilson,
Speaker 1: who was really bad. I wanted to lock people up
Speaker 1: for say anything you didn't like. So Obama was terrible
Speaker 1: in this issue. Yes, they would write some editorials here
Speaker 1: and they're saying, you know, we are uncomfortable with whatever.
Speaker 1: But they didn't say attorney general needs to step it,
Speaker 1: needs to resign. They didn't uh scream about police state
Speaker 1: tactics or tyranny. And because they allowed Obama largely to
Speaker 1: get away with it without any political consequences, which is true,
Speaker 1: and it was really the fault of the DOJ and
Speaker 1: the federal government. It wasn't really Obama's fault that this happened,
Speaker 1: even though it would have gone directly up to hold her.
Speaker 1: His attorney general and holder would have signed off on it.
Speaker 1: But you will see the double standard in action to
Speaker 1: be sure, um, and they're aware of the fact that
Speaker 1: we are aware that Obama did exactly this kind of
Speaker 1: thing where he would see his reporters communications records looking
Speaker 1: for leaks. Uh. And so that means that there will
Speaker 1: be a hypocrisy here, But it also means that they
Speaker 1: don't really care because they will often they will often
Speaker 1: tell stories that are incongruous with objective and objective view
Speaker 1: of the situation. So remember that one and then another
Speaker 1: part of this that I think, you know, I'm not
Speaker 1: spending much on the Watkins New York Times. She's sleeping
Speaker 1: with somebody who is allegedly a source and also is
Speaker 1: writing stuff on Twitter about how she she was trying
Speaker 1: to throw people off the scent by lying and accusing
Speaker 1: Trump lawyers. I think it was of you know, the league,
Speaker 1: for which she was responded or she was around with
Speaker 1: the league, but for publishing the league she knew the
Speaker 1: leaguer was. It wasn't troub lawyers. So she's engaged in propaganda.
Speaker 1: I mean that is straight. She is engaged in in
Speaker 1: peddling falsehoods two tell the public, you know, to create
Speaker 1: a an untrue perception in the public's mind. For a reporter,
Speaker 1: I think that's a pretty big deal. You know, when
Speaker 1: you know something is untrue and you tell people as
Speaker 1: a reporter that it is true, that should be an issue.
Speaker 1: So that's That's one but the single most important part
Speaker 1: of all this for me, because like I said, there's
Speaker 1: a lot of different angles of this, is that Trump's
Speaker 1: arrangement syndrome is so strong and the hatred of this
Speaker 1: president is so strong that and I'm saying that they
Speaker 1: think that this was about the Uh, here we go.
Speaker 1: This is what they write, and this is a New
Speaker 1: York Times piece. Court documents described Mr Wolf's communications with
Speaker 1: four reporters, including Miss Watkins, using encrypted messaging applications. It
Speaker 1: appeared that the FBI was investigating how Miss Watkins learned
Speaker 1: that Russian spies in had tried to recruit Carter Page,
Speaker 1: a former Trump foreign policy adviser. She published an article
Speaker 1: for BuzzFeed News on April seventeen about the attempted recruitment
Speaker 1: of Mr Page, in which he confirmed the contacts. So
Speaker 1: this is all about the Carter Page Russell conspiracy theory,
Speaker 1: conspiracy theory. Thank folks, Now we found the first one.
Speaker 1: We found the first person who was willing to risk
Speaker 1: prison time assuming he's guilty. It's alleged. It's alleged, right,
Speaker 1: we don't know, We don't know. We gotta keep that,
Speaker 1: keep that out there. But here we likely have our
Speaker 1: first of many leak, the first of many leakers who
Speaker 1: looking at this, we have to assume there'll be a
Speaker 1: lot more. We'll have to guess that at some point
Speaker 1: they'll figure out who told the press about the Kisliak
Speaker 1: Flynn call. Never mind all that, so many of these
Speaker 1: stories and these these journalists look, oh, we're doing such
Speaker 1: great work. No, they just get somebody to break the law,
Speaker 1: tell them something're not supposed to do, and then they
Speaker 1: run a story with it. A lot of times. Consequences
Speaker 1: be damned. I don't care, but people are leaking against
Speaker 1: this president in a way that puts them in criminal jeopardy.
Speaker 1: That just shows you the depth of the hatred. And
Speaker 1: it shows you also how committed some of these deep
Speaker 1: staters really are to the notion of stopping this Trump presidency.
Speaker 1: They'll risk go into prison. Some of them are going
Speaker 1: to go to prison over this. Was it worth it?
Speaker 1: Was it worth running a story in BuzzFeed? You know,
Speaker 1: being the source for the story in BuzzFeed that put
Speaker 1: it out there, the carter Page, who is is harmless
Speaker 1: by virtue of nothing else but his ineptitude. The Carter
Speaker 1: Page was gonna be recruited by the by Russia. You know,
Speaker 1: I really think that people are gonna have a lot
Speaker 1: of regrets about this. But Jeff Sessions, that's right, and
Speaker 1: the d o J they're on it. They're gonna find
Speaker 1: more people, and we are going to find some swamp
Speaker 1: figures that I think you've heard of before involved in
Speaker 1: this mark my words. I would take some guesses right now,
Speaker 1: but that might be a little unfair. But their names
Speaker 1: you've heard before on this show. Let's talk about North Korea.
Speaker 1: Come ou up here in just a moment. Hey, it's
Speaker 1: a jungle out there, right. You gotta make sure that
Speaker 1: you do everything you can to have the best information
Speaker 1: possible on hand. When you are bringing new employees into
Speaker 1: your company and you're thinking about renting out of property
Speaker 1: that you own or engaged in other business to business transactions.
Speaker 1: That's where Global Verification Network becomes so important to you
Speaker 1: because they are a veteran owned small business that specializes
Speaker 1: in risk mitigation and background investigations. They're headquartered in Chicago.
Speaker 1: They work with startups all the way up to Fortune
Speaker 1: one companies. So no matter how bigger business or small
Speaker 1: your business, if you have any need of background investigations
Speaker 1: and vetting, you should really call the folks at Global
Speaker 1: Verification Network eight seven seven six nine five eleven seventy nine.
Speaker 1: That's eight seven seven s nine, Or go to my
Speaker 1: GVN dot com. That's my GVN dot com for Global
Speaker 1: Verification Network. It is more likely than not that there
Speaker 1: is a on fl possibly a full blown war with
Speaker 1: an allerging nuclear power. He is not merely being cavalier
Speaker 1: with a threat about nuclear war. He's being cavalier in
Speaker 1: a way that it makes him seem demented. These are
Speaker 1: the messages from a person who is not well, from
Speaker 1: a leader who is not fit for office, after a
Speaker 1: nuclear holocaust or after a million dollars, And that's where
Speaker 1: we are. This is not an exaggeration, probably closer to
Speaker 1: an outright war with North Korea. Got a chance of war,
Speaker 1: I'd say from where I sit right now, easily construe
Speaker 1: what he's been saying as a declaration or at least
Speaker 1: a threat of war. What is the ignition point for
Speaker 1: Kim and Moon's fuse with this provrocative rhetoric. Trump's comments
Speaker 1: about nuclear weapons have experts worried he could literally inadvertently
Speaker 1: trigger a catastrophe. You have reason to be scared of
Speaker 1: a war that could wipe out five thousand people. Now
Speaker 1: I just think he wants to use nukes. That's what
Speaker 1: I think he feels. Dylan ever, accused the media of
Speaker 1: being lazy when it comes to fearmongering. That's incredible. I
Speaker 1: think he wants to use nukes, Thanks, Mika. Yeah, that's what.
Speaker 1: He just wants to start nuking people. That's the President
Speaker 1: Trump wants. We got a summit coming up next week,
Speaker 1: as you know, folks, a big summit, and we may
Speaker 1: be closer to a deal with North Korea than at
Speaker 1: at any time and certainly recent memory. Um. But I
Speaker 1: want to get someone else's perspective on this, as we
Speaker 1: are literally days away from finding out if there's an
Speaker 1: opening or not for the US and North Korea. We've
Speaker 1: got Michael Malice with us on the line. He is
Speaker 1: the host of Your Welcome and also the author of
Speaker 1: Dear Reader, the unauthorized biography of Kim Jong Michael. Great
Speaker 1: to have you back, sir. Thanks. What do you make
Speaker 1: of this going into the summit? What are your expectations?
Speaker 1: How do you think it's going so far that the
Speaker 1: American media is just as accurate in their provocations as
Speaker 1: the North Korean media. Yeah, it's it's almost like they're
Speaker 1: cheering for nuclear war in a lot of those clips.
Speaker 1: It's amazing, isn't it. Like as long as Trump looks bad,
Speaker 1: they're like, yeah, so we lose a few million people
Speaker 1: in North Korea. How are you supposed to get a
Speaker 1: regime that has dug in its heels for literally over
Speaker 1: seventy years, that has no problems executing its own citizens,
Speaker 1: starving its own citizens, uh, killing members of the ruling elite.
Speaker 1: How are you supposed to get them to change their
Speaker 1: entire system without some brinksmanship? How are you you know,
Speaker 1: it's let's let's look at it this way in terms
Speaker 1: that anyone can understand. Buck, you and I are buddies.
Speaker 1: Let's suppose I had an issue with you. If I
Speaker 1: brought it up and escalated situations, there's a possibility it's
Speaker 1: going to get heated. But if you want things to
Speaker 1: change in a relationship, that's the risk anyone has to take,
Speaker 1: whether it's selling a car or there's a problem with
Speaker 1: your landlord. I mean, these people are living in the
Speaker 1: world where they've never really had to take risks other
Speaker 1: than running their mouths, and there's never any consequences for them.
Speaker 1: And that's why it upsets them when President Trump is
Speaker 1: actually forcing change of some kind on the Korean peninsula.
Speaker 1: And here's the other thing. They're acting like he's you know,
Speaker 1: like like in some kind of weird simulation and he's
Speaker 1: in the front of computer and not getting in for anyone.
Speaker 1: He's having regular public meetings with China, Japan, and South Korea.
Speaker 1: We're flying they're they're flying here, but they're acting as if,
Speaker 1: you know, he's some kind of toddler who is not
Speaker 1: talking to anyone and it's just making decisions on his own,
Speaker 1: and yet somehows all working out. It's astonishing to hear
Speaker 1: how many people who have no particular insight into the
Speaker 1: president's daily schedule, phone calls, preparation meetings with aids, and
Speaker 1: and officials around him who are saying he hasn't prepped enough.
Speaker 1: Hearing that a lot he hasn't prepped it up, what
Speaker 1: does it even mean, Michael, I mean, yeah, he doesn't
Speaker 1: speak Korean and he's not going to before the meeting.
Speaker 1: Like it just seems to me like this is something
Speaker 1: that people say when they have nothing else to say
Speaker 1: but they hate the president. Well, it's also the kind
Speaker 1: of thing where it's like, do they really think that
Speaker 1: as soon as the Singapore summit ends, President Trump's gonna
Speaker 1: join Kim Jong un on a flight to Pyongyang and
Speaker 1: they personally are going to start taking apart this nuclear site.
Speaker 1: I mean that that's not how it works. I mean
Speaker 1: the preparation he's had, by all accounts, a great deal
Speaker 1: of preparation. Uh, he's been first of all, as he's
Speaker 1: been president for almost two years at this point, do
Speaker 1: they expect only someone who has been a North Korean
Speaker 1: scholar to engage with the North Korean regime? Do we
Speaker 1: really think that the Chinese President g and Prime Minister
Speaker 1: Abbe from Japan didn't sit him down and say these
Speaker 1: are the important points? Are they stupid too? I mean,
Speaker 1: this makes no sense in any level because and here's
Speaker 1: why I wrote the book, and this is you know,
Speaker 1: I'm glad you have me on in this issue. North
Speaker 1: Korea is a very very complicated subject. No one denies this.
Speaker 1: So maybe because they feel unprepared to talk about it,
Speaker 1: they're they're projecting to some extent. And my rule of
Speaker 1: thumb is if someone doesn't know how to pronounce Kim
Speaker 1: Jong UN's name, they shouldn't be running them out. Now,
Speaker 1: do just just one I should I wanted to throw
Speaker 1: by you, Michael, what should we know about one of
Speaker 1: the differences between Kim Jong n as it affects his
Speaker 1: persona and the ability to you know, our our ability
Speaker 1: in the past to try and negotiate with him versus
Speaker 1: Kim Jong Il. I'm sorry, Kim Jong il in the
Speaker 1: past versus Kim Jong owen today? You know, what should
Speaker 1: we What are the differences that maybe either leave us
Speaker 1: more of an opening here or less of an opening.
Speaker 1: That's a very, very long and nuanced question. I'll answer
Speaker 1: it as distinctly as possible. Kim Jong il took over
Speaker 1: for his father, the great leader, Kim Il sung. They've
Speaker 1: only been three leaders of North Korea since its founding,
Speaker 1: and Kim Jong il was very much a function of
Speaker 1: the Cold War, and he also very much had to
Speaker 1: fight to maintain his hold on power because in the
Speaker 1: idea of in the ideology of communism, the idea that
Speaker 1: a son would succeed his father in this kind of
Speaker 1: monarchist fashion is complete nathema to mark societyology. But again,
Speaker 1: with the falling of the Soviet Union in the late
Speaker 1: eighties early nineties and the collapse of the Second World Uh,
Speaker 1: Kim Jong un has to deal with none of that.
Speaker 1: You know, he took power in the Soviet Union was
Speaker 1: long gone. North Korea was already at that point highly isolated,
Speaker 1: so he with any young person, there is that possibility
Speaker 1: to do things differently. And he also has this kind
Speaker 1: of leeway under North Korean law. And I'm using the
Speaker 1: word law or broadly because there's no real legality. It's
Speaker 1: whatever the government decides at a whim. He can do
Speaker 1: whatever he wants, and he can spin it however he wants. So,
Speaker 1: for example, North Korea has these black markets in every
Speaker 1: town where because people are no longer getting food reliably
Speaker 1: from the government. And this is you know, capitalism and
Speaker 1: its purist but and capitalism is anathema to the duchy
Speaker 1: idea of the North Korean ideology, but they pretend it's
Speaker 1: not capitalism. So when you get to define terms however
Speaker 1: where you want, that really does give you some freedom.
Speaker 1: On the other hand, as we have seen in other
Speaker 1: such regimes which are nowhere nearest that is North Korea,
Speaker 1: but I'm thinking of places like Romania as a classic example,
Speaker 1: Iraq and Libya. When these regimes fall, the people at
Speaker 1: the top are often personally executed. He had a rough end,
Speaker 1: yes he did, So that is a big and they're
Speaker 1: very very very painfully aware of this in North Korea.
Speaker 1: So this is a very big you know, North Korea
Speaker 1: as a prison even for the people the very top,
Speaker 1: because if he does want to liberalize and make it
Speaker 1: kind of like a Singapore, people are going to very
Speaker 1: quickly find out the population that they've been brainwashed lives
Speaker 1: too and starved intentionally for decades, and they're not going
Speaker 1: to think, oh, you're a great guy. You know, They're
Speaker 1: going to want to exact vengeance, and fairly they're not
Speaker 1: gonna look at him like a Gelsten. How then, do
Speaker 1: do we set up a framework? I mean, what is
Speaker 1: the what does a deal with North Korea that can
Speaker 1: actually work in the broadest strokes, Michael, what is it
Speaker 1: look like? I The way I think in the broadest
Speaker 1: strokes should be sort of a relay race where we're
Speaker 1: handing over the baton to China, because North Korea will
Speaker 1: always be primarily China's problem there, they're geographically approximate. Historically,
Speaker 1: there's long strong bonds between Korea and China UM, and
Speaker 1: China doesn't want a US allied right on their border,
Speaker 1: UM and so on and so forth. It says they
Speaker 1: have a very strong relationship, So a lot of it
Speaker 1: has to be also this kind of good cop bad cop,
Speaker 1: which I think President Trump and President are playing very well,
Speaker 1: which is China gets to be the reasonable statesman, Trump
Speaker 1: gets to be the unreliable blow hard and that drives
Speaker 1: Kim Jong un for there's the China's arms. So that
Speaker 1: is a good mechanism to move forward. And listen, if
Speaker 1: they want us to remove our troops from the Korean
Speaker 1: peninsula and in exchange they you know, they have the
Speaker 1: fourth largest army in the world, even though they're South Pennsylvania.
Speaker 1: If in exchange they demilitarized and denuclearized, spend less money
Speaker 1: on the army, spend more money on food and infrastructure
Speaker 1: and things like that, I think that would be a
Speaker 1: win win all across. And my biggest concern always is
Speaker 1: liberating these peacefully, liberating these twenty five million slaves. Absolutely
Speaker 1: I agree, and that's why I find it so honestly
Speaker 1: discussing that people in the in the media in particular,
Speaker 1: seem to be rooting for failure here quite openly, I
Speaker 1: think rooting for failure and and buck How are human
Speaker 1: rights a partisan issue? It is mind boggling to me
Speaker 1: when we have literal concentration camps where people are dismembered
Speaker 1: men are sent into minds and they never see sunlight again,
Speaker 1: and their skin starts to slough off. These are things
Speaker 1: that are unimaginable to us in the West. Any kind
Speaker 1: of sliver of hope we have to hold onto. If
Speaker 1: you want to hear President Trump, go ahead, pay President Trump.
Speaker 1: Pretend he's the puppet of the Japanese and the Chinese
Speaker 1: in the South Koreans. If that's what it takes for
Speaker 1: you to suade your conscious that you're rooting for happy
Speaker 1: ending to this nightmare worst country on Earth. Everybody should

Speaker 1: the best performance clothing You're ever gonna wear. He's back
Speaker 1: with you now because when it comes to the fight
Speaker 1: for truth, the fuck never stops. I love our country.
Speaker 1: I have been Russia's worst nightfare. If Hillary got in,
Speaker 1: I think books is probably going. Man. I wish Hillary
Speaker 1: one because you see what I do. But with that
Speaker 1: being said, Rush here should be in this stated. Why
Speaker 1: are we having him meetings without rug yet being in
Speaker 1: the meeting as I would recommend, and sits up to them,
Speaker 1: but Russia should be in the meeting, it should be
Speaker 1: part of it. Oh my, they're very upset at Trump
Speaker 1: about this, or I should say, they're using this as
Speaker 1: a as a means to try and further create this
Speaker 1: narrative of you know, Trump is in Russia's pocket. Uh,
Speaker 1: Russia has something on Trump. And you keep hearing this stuff,
Speaker 1: I'm like, what what are they talking about? You mean
Speaker 1: that the Trump who is willing to do things that
Speaker 1: even Obama would not do, like give anti tank missiles,
Speaker 1: javelin anti tech missiles and and UH sniper rifles to
Speaker 1: the Ukrainian military as they can fight against Russian separatists
Speaker 1: or Russian backed separatists. That that in the pocket Trump.
Speaker 1: It's amazing how much the shift has occurred. It used
Speaker 1: to be pretty clear most folks had an understanding of
Speaker 1: the fact that if you you know, there's certain countries
Speaker 1: that you can try and just isolate and cut off.
Speaker 1: And for example, we've tried that with North Korea, although
Speaker 1: we've had limited success, because cutting off an entire country
Speaker 1: from the rest of the world and preventing it from
Speaker 1: being a problem is a lot easier said than done.
Speaker 1: But do we try that to some extent with Iran.
Speaker 1: Russia is too big to ignore, and the purpose of
Speaker 1: the sanctions that have put and put been put in play,
Speaker 1: stretching back to Russia's annexation of crime is to get
Speaker 1: a change in Russian behavior. The additional sanctions that have
Speaker 1: to do with the election interference is also supposed to
Speaker 1: be a change in Russian behavior. Although I would note,
Speaker 1: how are the Russians I'm just playing devil's advocate here
Speaker 1: for a second, how are the Russians exactly supposed to
Speaker 1: get the election interference related sanction is turned off? How
Speaker 1: does that happen? Really? Think about that one for a second.
Speaker 1: People will say, oh, buck, they're still interfering. Really, we
Speaker 1: know that top down, the Kremlin is telling people to
Speaker 1: interfere in our upcoming midterms. We you know, we we
Speaker 1: might have seen some preparations somewhere. There could be some
Speaker 1: you know, intelligence collection that leads us to believe that
Speaker 1: they want to do that, But we have sanctions in
Speaker 1: place against them for the election interference before. And I
Speaker 1: would just note that it doesn't seem to me like
Speaker 1: that's an easy thing for them, even if they wanted
Speaker 1: to to turn around, because all it takes is some
Speaker 1: Russian hackers or some skilled Russian you know, cyber warriors
Speaker 1: of one kind or another, to decide that they're going
Speaker 1: to engage in some kind of hack of the election,
Speaker 1: that they are going to make our lives more difficult
Speaker 1: come election time. And it could very easily be blamed
Speaker 1: on Russia because the media has created this environment where
Speaker 1: Russia is somehow a much bigger concern for US than China,
Speaker 1: even though the Russian economy is much smaller than the
Speaker 1: Chinese economy, the Russian military is much smaller than Chinese military,
Speaker 1: and our geo, our long term geo political, uh near
Speaker 1: pure rival is China. It is not Russia that said Russia, Well,
Speaker 1: it isn't our our primary challenger on the global stage.
Speaker 1: It is too big to ignore. And that's why when
Speaker 1: Trump says that they should bring Russia back into the
Speaker 1: fold on this um, I just think it's I think
Speaker 1: it's a cheap shot, and a lot of people haven't
Speaker 1: taken it's a cheap shot to say, oh, it's because
Speaker 1: the Russians have something on him. I think it's a
Speaker 1: cheap shot to say, oh, well, the reason that Trump
Speaker 1: would bring the Russians back into the G seven, which
Speaker 1: is just a way of having countries meet and a
Speaker 1: lot of these summits. And I'll tell you this. Other
Speaker 1: people was say, oh no, these summits are so important,
Speaker 1: and a lot of these summits. It's just an excuse
Speaker 1: for government bureaucrats. And you know the entourages of the
Speaker 1: various premiers to get together and spend a lot of
Speaker 1: their their subjects money and hang out with other important
Speaker 1: government bureaucrats and make decisions about your life. But general,
Speaker 1: how often do they come back from someone you're like, Wow,
Speaker 1: they got that deal going. That's going to really change
Speaker 1: my life. Answers is not. It doesn't really happen that way.
Speaker 1: But Trump wanted to bring them back into the G seven.
Speaker 1: Is also, by the way he spoke a little bit
Speaker 1: about trade and terrorists play clip nine. All of these
Speaker 1: countries have been taking advantage of the United States un trade.
Speaker 1: You're so ware Canada, Georgia, Gerry farmers two hundred and
Speaker 1: seventy terris. We don't judge them, or if we do
Speaker 1: it like a tiny percentage. We have massive trade deficit
Speaker 1: with almost every country. We will straighten that out. I
Speaker 1: don't forget, and I'll tell you what it's what I do.
Speaker 1: It won't even be hard, and in the end we'll
Speaker 1: all get along. But they understand that, you know, they're
Speaker 1: trying to act like, well, we fought with you in
Speaker 1: the wars, which they don't mention the fact that they
Speaker 1: have trade barriers against our farmers. They don't mention the
Speaker 1: fact that they're charging almost tariffs. You know, it's it's
Speaker 1: just a function of logic at this point. Everyone they
Speaker 1: tell us the conventional wisdom is tariffs are bad, tariffs
Speaker 1: are attacks, and then there is a pass, a pass
Speaker 1: of expenses on the consumer. That that's true. But tariffs
Speaker 1: are attacks, they're they're a bad idea, but other countries
Speaker 1: have them, but we shouldn't respond to the other countries
Speaker 1: that have them. No one ever stops to say, well,
Speaker 1: why do other countries have them if they're such an
Speaker 1: obviously bad idea, If there's no purpose to tariffs, if
Speaker 1: it's just self defeating, then why and how are we
Speaker 1: supposed to respond to the countries that's that decide that
Speaker 1: they're going to have tariffs. Despite the fact that we're
Speaker 1: always told, oh, it's such a bad idea. You don't
Speaker 1: have tariffs. You don't have tariffs. Yeah, I just want
Speaker 1: to answer that simple question. Yeah, I'm just sitting here
Speaker 1: asking questions. I just want to know I do. I do, indeed,
Speaker 1: But the media is full of jerk's clowns and imbeciles
Speaker 1: and a lot of very nasty people with very sharp
Speaker 1: elbows and very high self regard. We'll talk a bit
Speaker 1: about where things stand with the M s M, the
Speaker 1: mainstream media these days when it comes to Trump, and
Speaker 1: then even when it comes to yours. Truly, that and
Speaker 1: more is coming up in just a moment, so that
Speaker 1: he hadn't been really preparing for the summit with Kim
Speaker 1: Jong own, and then he defended that by saying to
Speaker 1: reporters as he was leaving the White House earlier today,
Speaker 1: while I've been preparing for this all my life. Of course, Wolf,
Speaker 1: as we know, before Donald Trump became President of the
Speaker 1: United States, he was in the real estate business. So
Speaker 1: it's difficult to imagine how much preparation he was doing
Speaker 1: during his real estate days for pulling off some kind
Speaker 1: of agreement that would denuclearize North Korea. I'll tell you
Speaker 1: a couple of things. First, of all the hypocrisy is
Speaker 1: astounding because I know someone who spoke to Donald Trump
Speaker 1: recently about life in the White House, and Donald Trump's
Speaker 1: biggest complaint was that he's not allowed to watch porn
Speaker 1: in the White House. So there you go, there's a
Speaker 1: little bit of news for you. He's upset that he
Speaker 1: can't watch porn in the White House and they have
Speaker 1: those you know, numbers blocked to, which must be a disappointment.
Speaker 1: I'm not really sure, but that's it just sort of
Speaker 1: flies in the face of all of this journalists everybody there.
Speaker 1: You go, a couple, a couple of a couple of
Speaker 1: big je journalists letting loose on air. There a Costa
Speaker 1: from CNN among among the worst defenders of the pseudo
Speaker 1: journalists out there, And uh, I love to We're just
Speaker 1: bringing the facts. Like they all sit around, they get
Speaker 1: to ask some questions and then they try to get
Speaker 1: some gossip from sources that will tell us some about
Speaker 1: the White House. They act like there, you know, uh,
Speaker 1: publishing the Pentagon papers all the time, which the whole
Speaker 1: other conversations whether that was a good idea or not,
Speaker 1: Oh man, it's pretty funny. Um, you know, A Costa here.
Speaker 1: His whole thing is he's saying he's engaged in a
Speaker 1: form of up to literalism. That will come up again
Speaker 1: in a few minutes. And I tell you about another
Speaker 1: exchange to have with one of the revered elitist journalists
Speaker 1: today on the twitters. Not that I wanted to, but
Speaker 1: you know, people come after the book. I don't know,
Speaker 1: people like to hate on the buck sometimes from the
Speaker 1: elite media. Such a nice guy, and I don't really understand,
Speaker 1: and I really don't say like super inflammatory stuff I
Speaker 1: probably should. Like if I just showed up every day,
Speaker 1: I was just like, the tyranny is here, Like the
Speaker 1: deep state media is destroying the country, like every day.
Speaker 1: I feel like, you know that has an audience for sure. Um.
Speaker 1: I mean, I do think that the deep state is dangerous,
Speaker 1: is damaged in the country, and I think the media
Speaker 1: has has essentially engaged in self immolation, at least when
Speaker 1: it comes to its credibility. But I try to put
Speaker 1: a little nuance into some things. But what a constant
Speaker 1: of there is. He goes, oh, Trump, Sis, he's been
Speaker 1: preparing for this his whole life. He's like, I don't
Speaker 1: see how he could be preparing Forby, It's like, dude,
Speaker 1: he means that he's been preparing for this moment his life.
Speaker 1: Like the same way that when somebody says to you,
Speaker 1: you know, are you ready before you go out to
Speaker 1: give a big speech or something. If you turn to
Speaker 1: them and say, you know, I was born ready, you
Speaker 1: don't actually mean that you came out and like, you know,
Speaker 1: the placenta and the birth and all that stuff, and
Speaker 1: you were you were ready for this. That's not what
Speaker 1: you're saying. You're saying, know, yeah, like I'm I'm ready
Speaker 1: to go, or you know, are you ready for you know,
Speaker 1: I've been waiting for this my whole life. No, you were, not,
Speaker 1: in fact waiting for that moment for the entirety of
Speaker 1: your life. You are someone who you know is excited
Speaker 1: about the opportunity you're about to have. Right, But I mean,
Speaker 1: so is a Costa Is he just is he not smart?
Speaker 1: Or is he just being a jerk? I don't you
Speaker 1: can answer that for me. I don't know. It could
Speaker 1: go either way. And then with Mika, I won't even
Speaker 1: pose that question. I'll just leave it. I'll just yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll just put it this way. She says, he's upset
Speaker 1: he can't watch point of White House. You know, she's
Speaker 1: so smug and smarmy about Trump now a year ago, no,
Speaker 1: make that two years ago, when she could have you
Speaker 1: been taking a determined stand against Trump, stand for journalistic ethics, ethics,
Speaker 1: you know, stand for truth or you know whatever. All
Speaker 1: all these things and all these journalists are there are
Speaker 1: martyrs in the era of Trump. It's such a joke.
Speaker 1: It's such a such a complete the buckle. But she
Speaker 1: was very cozy within that, Mika and Trump and I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: Mica and Joe and troll buddies, and then they had
Speaker 1: kind of a falling out. And now you know, it's
Speaker 1: a lot of like you know, high school kids stuff
Speaker 1: with oh, what gossip can we tell about Trump? And
Speaker 1: how he's so he's so grotesque, he's so clownish. He
Speaker 1: can't watch porn in the White House, they're saying now,
Speaker 1: and that's that's a big thing for him. You know,
Speaker 1: Trump may have said that, I'm gonna say that, Trump
Speaker 1: may have said that, He's I guarantee you it was
Speaker 1: a joke, folks. But this, uh, you know, this this
Speaker 1: extreme literalism now because they're, oh, we're the truth tellers,
Speaker 1: were the truth tellers. This has become a thing. This
Speaker 1: is a trend I have noticed now. So now they
Speaker 1: fact check opinions as though their facts. Now they fact check. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know people that are are are making jokes. Look
Speaker 1: what they did, I mean Mike with Sean Hannity earlier
Speaker 1: in the week. Yes, technically Sean said that, you know,
Speaker 1: they should destroy into that people should destroy evidence like Hillary.
Speaker 1: He was laughing and it was a joke to anybody
Speaker 1: with you know, ten i Q points to put together.
Speaker 1: But there were correct me if I'm wrong. A lot
Speaker 1: of media outlets, a lot of people in the media
Speaker 1: who were like Hannity, you're giving you know, advice to
Speaker 1: He wasn't giving it. Am I missing something? Now you'reright
Speaker 1: on point? And how many of those people do you
Speaker 1: actually think heard him say that or just read a headline. Well, see,
Speaker 1: that's the other part of it, right. They are literalists
Speaker 1: on our side. Every word has to be parsed, every
Speaker 1: word in anything that they're trying to get down in. Dude,
Speaker 1: oh you said this, but it's really this, you know,
Speaker 1: you said red and it's chartreuse liar whoa settle down? Right?
Speaker 1: Sean is actually making a joke. That is that no
Speaker 1: one who listens to it could look any of the
Speaker 1: face and says anything other than a joke. And still
Speaker 1: they still jump they jump on his case. I mean
Speaker 1: a few people do, some of the media. It's just
Speaker 1: it's just ridiculous. But with Miki here, what I bet
Speaker 1: happened is Trump made a joke because you know, he's
Speaker 1: a guy's guy and he says things a certain way.
Speaker 1: I bet he made a joke about how he can't
Speaker 1: watch porn in the White House, and somebody relayed that
Speaker 1: as a joke, and Mika is like, well I heard
Speaker 1: that Trump says that he's upset that he can't watch
Speaker 1: porn in the White House? Well was he? Was he
Speaker 1: serious about it? That's one part of this, And then
Speaker 1: the other part of it is why are you telling
Speaker 1: us this? I mean, you know what, what? What is that?
Speaker 1: The thing? What? The percentage of American adult males who
Speaker 1: watched pornography is very high. I will tell you that
Speaker 1: actually years ago. I made the conscious decision A long
Speaker 1: time ago. Now I don't know, it's been a while.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say to to a shoe porn. I'm not
Speaker 1: saying like when the when the boobies come out on
Speaker 1: Game of Thrones, I run and high or something. I'm not.
Speaker 1: I'm not you know, I'm not a monk, you know.
Speaker 1: I I mean, I am the guy who is somewhat
Speaker 1: disappointed about the Miss America bathing suit competition decision. Like,
Speaker 1: I'm not pretending that I don't you know, I'm not
Speaker 1: somebody who will occasionally ogl what is on the TV screen.
Speaker 1: But I do think that. Then this is a a
Speaker 1: whole other part of the conversation. But as a guy,
Speaker 1: I can tell you you appreciate, uh, you appreciate your
Speaker 1: intimate life more. You appreciate female beauty around you, especially
Speaker 1: the female beauty of the person that you are romantically with.
Speaker 1: You appreciate that more. If you are not watching five
Speaker 1: hours of porn today, you I'm you. It is a
Speaker 1: desensitization that occurs over time. I'm telling you, guys who
Speaker 1: are listening. If you're like, you know, well, whatever age
Speaker 1: you may be, if if this is something that you
Speaker 1: if porn is laying a role in your life, get
Speaker 1: rid of it. Get rid of it the way you'd
Speaker 1: get rid of like a bad of a bad habit.
Speaker 1: You won't look back I'm telling you you won't look
Speaker 1: back and you will realize that it has it has
Speaker 1: a negative effect. I don't. I'm not somebody's Oh, pornography
Speaker 1: is the reason that we like the society is coming apart.
Speaker 1: Although I know some very smart people who make who
Speaker 1: makes some pretty compelling arguments about that. I'm just saying,
Speaker 1: for your own, for your own day to day purposes. Uh.
Speaker 1: You know, it's kind of like if you had if
Speaker 1: you know, if you have access to let let's say
Speaker 1: you have access to an entire to a store just
Speaker 1: full of sugary candy, right, just like a candy also
Speaker 1: known as a candy store, and you're just eating, eating,
Speaker 1: eating candy, candy, candy all the time, right, and then
Speaker 1: somebody shows up and you have a chocolate cake that
Speaker 1: is like homemade and delicious and perfect. If you have
Speaker 1: been every day leading up to that three meals a
Speaker 1: day stuffing your face with starbursts and you know what else?
Speaker 1: Did you know? Twizzlers and all this junk I used
Speaker 1: to eat sometimes when my parents weren't looking as a kid,
Speaker 1: you will appreciate that chocolate cake glass. I think, Mike,
Speaker 1: is this analogy? Am I am? My is this making
Speaker 1: sense or is it too weird? Okay, I'm making sense,
Speaker 1: thank you. So Mika does not have to tell us
Speaker 1: about the president's alleged desire to watch adults entertainment in
Speaker 1: the White House. I bet it was a joke that
Speaker 1: if she heard this at all, if it isn't actually
Speaker 1: just fake news, I bet it's a joke. And it's
Speaker 1: quite clear that when it comes to Trump, the media
Speaker 1: cannot take a joke. Speaking of which, uh so, I
Speaker 1: had a little bit of a little Twitter exchange a lot.
Speaker 1: I know a lot of you are on Twitter, but
Speaker 1: I'll kind of explain to you how it went today.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is just the stuff when I say
Speaker 1: to myself, maybe I just want Twitter where I can
Speaker 1: talk to all of you. You know, I don't want annoying,
Speaker 1: self righteous, entitled, overpaid TV journalists like just annoying me.
Speaker 1: I don't need it. But but one of them did today,
Speaker 1: and I think it's a lot. It illuminates a fundamental
Speaker 1: lie at the heart of the mainstream media. And we'll
Speaker 1: get into that shortly. If you're looking for the most
Speaker 1: comfortable T shirts, hoodies, sweatpants, polo shirts possible, that also

Speaker 1: Make no mistake American Great, You're a great American again.
Speaker 1: This is the Buck Sexton Show. Analysts, no locum our,
Speaker 1: three folks. It's a three stoff punct that is for sure.
Speaker 1: And you know I try to. I try to approach
Speaker 1: my my business with a certain degree of of decorum
Speaker 1: and responsibility and respect and and even friendliness whenever possible.
Speaker 1: I really try to do my best too, even when
Speaker 1: I disagree strongly with people, not make it personal, not
Speaker 1: getting nasty, not be uh you know, not just actually
Speaker 1: not not be a jerk. But not everybody else really
Speaker 1: takes that approach. Some people like to be very and
Speaker 1: I mean media folks, right. I'm not talking about just
Speaker 1: whoever can get a Twitter account. I mean people that
Speaker 1: are blue the blue check Twitter, right, the public person Twitter.
Speaker 1: Sometimes people can be a bit snappy, a bit rude,
Speaker 1: a little bit unfair, and honestly just just kind of nasty.
Speaker 1: So you know, this is where I have to tell
Speaker 1: you that I had a yet another It's so interesting.
Speaker 1: Mr Tapper over at CNN seems to like to uh
Speaker 1: goad me on Twitter uh and and never just debate
Speaker 1: back and forth the issue, but always likes to remember
Speaker 1: this is just about tweets, right, Say someone's lying, say
Speaker 1: that I I someone's being dishonest and I'm being dishonest.
Speaker 1: I'm like, and I'm like, the tweets stand for themselves. Man.
Speaker 1: It's a. It's a public It's essentially a public record
Speaker 1: of somebody's thoughts in real time that they decided to
Speaker 1: share with with who, you know, whomever wants to get
Speaker 1: on the internet. But I just think this was this
Speaker 1: was very instructive about why why does the media um
Speaker 1: turned so many people off? Why are they so distrusted?
Speaker 1: Why are they more distrusted now than ever before? Why
Speaker 1: does Donald Trump's statement about fake news not only resonate
Speaker 1: with so many people, but also, uh, why is it
Speaker 1: that they're so sensitive about it? And I have to say, Uh,
Speaker 1: this I think is a pretty good version of it.
Speaker 1: I think this, this gives you a sense to a
Speaker 1: sense of what the problems are here. So the New
Speaker 1: York Times wrote that the Justice Department seized a as
Speaker 1: we've been discussing, right, they seized a reporter's phone and
Speaker 1: email records. It's first known use of such an aggressive
Speaker 1: tactic under President Trump. And I just fired after this one.
Speaker 1: Obama did this. The press was willing to overlook it.
Speaker 1: They made it okay for Obama because he was so perfect.
Speaker 1: Press won't overlook it now. But guess what, too late now.
Speaker 1: I am obviously, as somebody who works in media and
Speaker 1: also used to work in the intelligence community aware of
Speaker 1: the media's coverage, meaning that there was coverage of the
Speaker 1: various spying iterations by the Obama administration that specifically targeted journalists. Right,
Speaker 1: I am obviously very aware of that. Now it's Twitter,
Speaker 1: at shorthand at short form. I get all that, But
Speaker 1: immediately I got a a very a very nasty response
Speaker 1: by I wasn't tweeting at Jake Taber. I don't care,
Speaker 1: you know, to me, I mean, Jake Tapper. You could
Speaker 1: replace him with fifteen other guys at CNN tomorrow. The
Speaker 1: ratings wouldn't change, and and I wouldn't care what I mean,
Speaker 1: it's his his opinion is not relevant to me, but
Speaker 1: his opinion of me. It's something he decided to to
Speaker 1: share in a particularly aggressive fashion. I'm trying to actually
Speaker 1: pull up the whole because this made it on the media.
Speaker 1: I'd folks, this this guy picked up as a separate story.
Speaker 1: So I said that, and then you get, yeah, Jake Tapper,
Speaker 1: Jake Tapper correct CI analysts proclaiming media ignored Obama press crackdown.
Speaker 1: So sick of the lying, that's what, so Jake said,
Speaker 1: So sick of the lying in response to me, and
Speaker 1: then shared a bunch of his own because he's the
Speaker 1: media apparently, I mean, the media is a lot, right,
Speaker 1: it's a very sweeping judgment. I understand there's really you
Speaker 1: could be engaged in a bit of sophistry and say
Speaker 1: there's no such thing as the media position on anything,
Speaker 1: which is kind of technically true but also useless, right,
Speaker 1: because there's clearly a a focus, a preponderance on or
Speaker 1: a focus, and a tendency preponders the wrong word for
Speaker 1: the media to take things a certain way. Um, So
Speaker 1: I have to say, I think this is so fascinating
Speaker 1: because you know, then I get so he's called it
Speaker 1: a lie. I responded to him, and this was all
Speaker 1: in in in real time. I responded to him by overlook,
Speaker 1: I'm making a judgment about the intensity of the coverage
Speaker 1: and the outrage over the tactic. I'm obviously not saying
Speaker 1: nobody covered it. How would I have known about it
Speaker 1: if it wasn't through the news? But by all means
Speaker 1: use up too literalism is an opening to call it
Speaker 1: a lie. And then Jake says that's not how words work,
Speaker 1: and I said, that's really cute. Jake or that's really
Speaker 1: you know, funny or whatever. Uh, he's very nasty to
Speaker 1: people on Twitter. He has this reputation. He does this
Speaker 1: all the time, and I think it's because fundamentally he's
Speaker 1: a part of a lie. Do you want to talk
Speaker 1: about lying? And the lie is that CNN is an
Speaker 1: objective news source, which if he was asked he would
Speaker 1: say it is. So he is living a lie every day.
Speaker 1: He is fundamentally a part of a lie by being
Speaker 1: a part of an organization that claims to be unbiased
Speaker 1: and fair. Now, on the merits of this specific issue
Speaker 1: of whether they were willing to overlook Obama and this
Speaker 1: buying that occurdenter has watched, I want to make it
Speaker 1: very clear that, yeah, I could have said largely overlooked.
Speaker 1: There's some way, you know, if I was trying to
Speaker 1: be focused in on precision where nobody could quibble with me,
Speaker 1: I could do that. But is the position that the
Speaker 1: medium By the way, I got a whole pile on
Speaker 1: people in New York Times, Washington Post. Oh, we covered it,
Speaker 1: we covered it. Yeah, Really, where are the editorials asking
Speaker 1: for Eric Holder's resignation for seizing the phone records of
Speaker 1: journalists for listing James Rosen of Fox News as an
Speaker 1: unindicted co conspirator. Oh, that's right, it was Fox. Do
Speaker 1: we think they were as upset about it when it
Speaker 1: was at Fox? And they would have been in other places,
Speaker 1: because you know journalism. They point me to all these
Speaker 1: editorials they say, a troubling precedent for the obamaministration. The
Speaker 1: Obama administration was was effectively preparing to gut or in
Speaker 1: the process of gutting national security reporting overall. You'd think
Speaker 1: that people who make a living doing that would be
Speaker 1: more than just like publishing an editorial here and there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we don't think. We don't think Obama should do this.
Speaker 1: Do you think one journalist changed his mind about Obama
Speaker 1: and the abaministration based on this? No? But you see,
Speaker 1: my my problem is, folks, and I appreciate Tapper trying
Speaker 1: to correct me on that correct me as media it says,
Speaker 1: by the way, media, I also just makes it even
Speaker 1: worse by saying that I I ignored. I never said ignored.
Speaker 1: I said overlook. But oh, overlook doesn't mean that you're
Speaker 1: unaware of it, right, I mean overlook in the context
Speaker 1: that I was using it is to say, you know,
Speaker 1: they were like, Yeah, it's not that big a deal.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying they never mentioned it, because that's crazy
Speaker 1: because obviously I could only know about the story for
Speaker 1: media coverage. So it's a it's a nonsensical point. But
Speaker 1: it brings me back to the center of the wheelhouse here,
Speaker 1: which is but see, CNN is just peddling a falsehood
Speaker 1: every day by pretending that they are not in an
Speaker 1: organization devoted to the distry auction of the Trump administration too. Hopefully,
Speaker 1: if they have their way making Donald Trump lose his
Speaker 1: presidency and also maybe go to prison people around him
Speaker 1: go to prison, they would cheer. I'm sure if they
Speaker 1: could get you know, Jared or Vonka or somebody brought
Speaker 1: up on some kind of uh lame mickey mouse muller,
Speaker 1: go into the mat kind of charges, they'd be very
Speaker 1: happy with that. And so that's why I think there's
Speaker 1: this heightened sensitivity because people realize, Okay, let's quibble with
Speaker 1: my language over the double standard of Obama versus Trump
Speaker 1: when it comes to the media's coverage of their spying.
Speaker 1: Let's do that. By the way, it's not just the
Speaker 1: spying that Obama did that they glossed over. There we go.
Speaker 1: That's what I said. That that they that they briefly
Speaker 1: touched on in some news stories that they quickly forgot about.
Speaker 1: There wasn't some big narrative. There were no journalists who
Speaker 1: were saying, oh, you know, we we really need to
Speaker 1: rethink this whole oba I'm a love fest that we've
Speaker 1: been having. Come on, right, that's that's not what happened.
Speaker 1: We all know that's what happened. But even beyond that,
Speaker 1: you've got journalists that are running stories every day now
Speaker 1: about how US citizens like Carter Page can, with the
Speaker 1: discretion of the national security industry, lose all their all
Speaker 1: their Fourth Amendment rights. Right, they can just pick up
Speaker 1: their emails, listen whatever they want. Journalists are fine with
Speaker 1: that because it's against Trump. I mean, the double standard
Speaker 1: is so glaring. It's laughable that anybody would try to
Speaker 1: say otherwise. But instead of that, call someone a liar.
Speaker 1: By the way, very strong, I was sharing an opinion.
Speaker 1: Mr Tapper is unfamiliar with the difference in an opinion
Speaker 1: and a fact. It's not a fact to say that
Speaker 1: the the media, which is not an individual, it's a
Speaker 1: general conception of organizations. The media overlooking something is not
Speaker 1: a factual statement. I didn't say they actually never covered it.
Speaker 1: But you'll notice they that they'd rather play this game
Speaker 1: of well, we're the ones that are calling facts because
Speaker 1: Trump world is awful of lies. And also, I've actually
Speaker 1: never met Tapper, never spoken a word to him, don't
Speaker 1: don't know much about him. I know he's nasty to
Speaker 1: people on a regular basis on Twitter, and I can
Speaker 1: tell you kind of funny stories about how this is
Speaker 1: the way that he operates right he can, he won't
Speaker 1: let things go. He and he demands retractions, demands retractions
Speaker 1: like who do you think you are? Thinks he's very important.
Speaker 1: That much is clear, very very full of himself. But
Speaker 1: on the on the the underlying substance here, and you know,
Speaker 1: as I said, this guy, different journalists are all away
Speaker 1: and they're all dog piling me. Oh you're look at
Speaker 1: this article. Look at this article. Yeah, yeah, idiots. I
Speaker 1: know that you wrote articles about the Obama spuying. The
Speaker 1: point is you were willing to move on past it
Speaker 1: and not make it a major issue because Obama. And
Speaker 1: I'm just saying that I doubt they'll be the same
Speaker 1: tendency with Trump and his administration and using national security
Speaker 1: powers to spy on journalists. This shouldn't be controversial. Actually
Speaker 1: this should be a pretty obvious thing to say, but
Speaker 1: you get heat for it will because when you point
Speaker 1: out the double standard, they get upset. The same way
Speaker 1: when you call them fake news, they get upset because
Speaker 1: they do rome with fake news. Oh no, I'm so
Speaker 1: you're right, Stormy Daniels, night after night after night. That's
Speaker 1: not fake news. What well, what is that? They're creating
Speaker 1: news out of a non news story? So what what
Speaker 1: do they want us to call that? Anyway? Look, I
Speaker 1: mean this is why I think some days, you know,
Speaker 1: just retreat to the woods. Write some novels nobody will read.
Speaker 1: Learn how to like trap some fish, you know, get
Speaker 1: like some some of those gloves and the thing you
Speaker 1: need to the mask and everything for the honey, you know,
Speaker 1: I mean, you gotta have honey, Gotta have sweetener. I'm
Speaker 1: not I'm not a barbarian, right and live out in
Speaker 1: the woods. Get some honey, just kind of keep it
Speaker 1: all going, you know, Get an old record player because
Speaker 1: that just feels a little more old timey. Put on
Speaker 1: the cat Stevens. Let the cat pur some days. Man,
Speaker 1: I just feel like that's the way to go. You know,
Speaker 1: this this whole trying trying to be out there fighting
Speaker 1: the fight, you know, taking it just just trying to
Speaker 1: spread spread knowledge and truth to the best of my ability.
Speaker 1: You know, your days, You're just like, Man, it should
Speaker 1: have been like, yeah, set up like a tiki bar somewhere,
Speaker 1: real nice. You know, I had some like live music
Speaker 1: that would play. I'm getting myself all excited here. Some
Speaker 1: of you're probably gonna send me recommendations. Move to this city.
Speaker 1: You can order this town. You know, you can just
Speaker 1: hang out by the beach, just chill one day. It
Speaker 1: would be also be fun to just have a Twitter
Speaker 1: account that, like it is not like I have no
Speaker 1: professional involvement in in the media anymore, and I can
Speaker 1: actually just tell people what I think of them. That
Speaker 1: would be fun and really tell them, like just say it,
Speaker 1: not care. But I would get in trouble. And profanity
Speaker 1: is a problem, you know stuff like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I know people will say, you know, buck, technically you
Speaker 1: shouldn't call person that, even if they are a terrible
Speaker 1: CNN jerk. Uh so you know it is what it is.
Speaker 1: Um anyway, Yes, this is why I just hate Twitter,
Speaker 1: because it's it's useful to a point, but as a
Speaker 1: means of conversation, it's no. No one's actually trying to engage.
Speaker 1: They're really just and they're they're seeing who can come
Speaker 1: up with the sickest burn and who can create the
Speaker 1: biggest dog pile effect to silence, you know, the the
Speaker 1: people that they don't like. And I just find it,
Speaker 1: uh find a childish finds pretty annoying. And yeah, anyway,
Speaker 1: my last thing with Tapper was when I when he
Speaker 1: said that Scooter Libby leaked the name of a covert
Speaker 1: CIA officer and I'm like, I think he actually said
Speaker 1: agent because he doesn't know the difference in an agent
Speaker 1: and an officer. And although don't quote me on that,
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, I could be wrong. Um I'm willing
Speaker 1: to bet that was correct. And I'm just like, well,
Speaker 1: that's actually not what happened. But okay, all right, you
Speaker 1: know I got all the other scene and they all
Speaker 1: come they're all like a team, like like a big
Speaker 1: it's like a clown car of of well of clowns,
Speaker 1: the clown News network, and they all come after you,
Speaker 1: yelling at you and stuff. So few people that go
Speaker 1: on are there now and share opinions. Uh, I have
Speaker 1: really any respect for at this point. I mean professionally.
Speaker 1: Personally I can't speak to it, but professionally it's who
Speaker 1: who's who's the down the middle person you can trust
Speaker 1: over there. That's not skewing, that's not feeding into the
Speaker 1: Russia collusion fantasy. Anyway. Some people just need a bucks laugh,
Speaker 1: whether they realize they got one or not. Uh, we'll
Speaker 1: be right back. When you're work your dogs, you know
Speaker 1: they're they're cooped up all day inside, so when you
Speaker 1: get home, you want to let them burn off some energy.
Speaker 1: You can run around the yard a little bit, you know,
Speaker 1: jump around, maybe you're gonna throw a ball, play fetch.
Speaker 1: But if they start digging, you can have a problem
Speaker 1: under your hands because guess what. Digging can go under
Speaker 1: your fence. And you might have tried brick and would
Speaker 1: even concrete, but have you tried dig defense. It is
Speaker 1: a genius solution to the problem of pets digging under
Speaker 1: the fence. It extends the protection of your fence underground.
Speaker 1: No amount of digging is owing to let your pet
Speaker 1: get out of the yard or let predators get in.
Speaker 1: Dig defense comes in a bunch of different models and sizes.
Speaker 1: It is easy to install with a hammer and a
Speaker 1: pair of gloves. If you have pets digging under the fence,
Speaker 1: check out dig Defense right now available online at lows Menards,
Speaker 1: Wayfair and Stop the Dig dot Com. Dig Defense is
Speaker 1: the solution to pets digging under the fence and getting
Speaker 1: out or letting predators in Stop the dig dot Com.
Speaker 1: So here we go. Now we can put some some
Speaker 1: facts and figures into what we already know about the
Speaker 1: whole u NFL flag kneeling controversy. You have here that
Speaker 1: a majority of US voters say that the National Football
Speaker 1: League players who neil and protests are are not unpatriotic,
Speaker 1: according to new poll by a fifty eight percent to
Speaker 1: thirty five percent margin. Those surveying at the Quinnipiac University
Speaker 1: poll voice disagreement with the notion that players who during
Speaker 1: games uh protests police shootings of unarmed black men are
Speaker 1: disrespectful of America. A majority of voters also offered support
Speaker 1: for athletes right to protest on their playing fields and
Speaker 1: courts at expressed opposition. Now, first of all, calling them
Speaker 1: unpatriotic is very strong, So I feel like the poll
Speaker 1: is automatically skewing, uh and making it likely or to
Speaker 1: get a certain outcome. To to to ask do you agree
Speaker 1: with their choice to do it? To call them unpatriotic
Speaker 1: is to pass judgment on the individuals themselves. It's I
Speaker 1: think a much better way to approach this would be
Speaker 1: to say, what do you think of the decision to
Speaker 1: do that? Um? So that's one part of this. And
Speaker 1: then also having the right to protest on the on
Speaker 1: the playing field, that's you know, I think that's just
Speaker 1: that's only fift so it's pretty evenly split. But I
Speaker 1: think a lot of that is just people who don't
Speaker 1: understand that, you know, sure enough, Uh. The owners are
Speaker 1: allowed to set rules and regulations for their for their businesses.
Speaker 1: So it's not a right issue, it's a what is
Speaker 1: the owner one issue? But this was the most interesting
Speaker 1: part of this, you because we're talking about all his
Speaker 1: NFL knealing stuff these days. This most an interesting part
Speaker 1: of it that sevent of Republicans called NFL players kneeling
Speaker 1: unpatriotic and said they did not have a right to
Speaker 1: protest during games. Well eight five and eight two of
Speaker 1: Democrats disagreed, So the NFL kneeling issue which brings in
Speaker 1: all different kinds of complexities, and you know it's just
Speaker 1: a free speech thing. Is it a police relations with
Speaker 1: minority communities? There's so many ways you can slice this
Speaker 1: and look at this, but this has become just like guns,
Speaker 1: a straight up polarized partisan issue. Whatever you know, whatever
Speaker 1: you are, as party affiliation goes, is what you think
Speaker 1: about this issue, according to this poll. With obviously with
Speaker 1: some exceptions because eighty five percent, there's some some some
Speaker 1: were left out of this, but it is overwhelmingly the
Speaker 1: case now that just like if you support gun rights,
Speaker 1: you are almost certainly a Republican. If you support the
Speaker 1: right to life instead of the right to an abortion,
Speaker 1: you're almost certainly a Republican. Now we can put NFL
Speaker 1: kneeling during the anthem on this list of issues that
Speaker 1: separate people out from each other and that are very
Speaker 1: much part of the the the political proxy fight that's
Speaker 1: going on all the time. So I think I think
Speaker 1: you are gonna have some more neil and come to fall,
Speaker 1: that's for sure. I can't I don't know enough to
Speaker 1: say which teams and who's the most likely with it,
Speaker 1: but you know, I'm just amazed to these Democrats who
Speaker 1: say they don't find it on patriotic when somebody does that.
Speaker 1: You know, the flag is also a cultural thing. Now,
Speaker 1: I guess Democrats have this notion that there's no you know,
Speaker 1: don't no need to respect the flag. I guess, Uh,
Speaker 1: We'll be right back. Stay with me. He's holding the
Speaker 1: line for America. Buck Sexton his back. Hey, team Buck,
Speaker 1: it's time for roll Call, Roll Call Friday. Let me
Speaker 1: we're gonna have a little extended session here in the
Speaker 1: Freedom public. Get into a little bit more of the
Speaker 1: roll call then we do on an average day, although
Speaker 1: lately I've been trying to extend it, uh, just because
Speaker 1: I enjoyed doing it so much, because I like hearing
Speaker 1: from all of you. Or I suppose technically it is
Speaker 1: reading from all of you, but it's certainly something that
Speaker 1: is that it's fun to do. So with that in mind,
Speaker 1: let's get into it. We have hold on one second,
Speaker 1: let's see we got here. It's it's coming up, it's coming.
Speaker 1: There we go. Lannie, Hey buck Heart the show. Thank you,
Speaker 1: Lannie shields Hie from errors ownA. Oh my god, you
Speaker 1: were talking about impersonations yesterday and I swear you have
Speaker 1: the best I've ever heard, the best Alex Jones impersonation.
Speaker 1: That is hands down. Enjoy your weekend with miss Molly. Oh.
Speaker 1: By the way, it is produced producing gosh buck speak
Speaker 1: English pronounced Lonnie, not Landing. Okay, Lonnie, thank you so much. Lanny.
Speaker 1: You you're obviously not tooled to build a bird's and
Speaker 1: Illuminati google it. Um. So there you have it, David,
Speaker 1: But I've realized that there you have it is my
Speaker 1: uh is my latest and greatest filler for when I
Speaker 1: can't get a segment to pop up as quickly as
Speaker 1: I want. Brian rites, I thought this was funny. High
Speaker 1: capacity magazines turn regular firearms into fully automatic weapons. Uh.
Speaker 1: And he's it's a letter, Brian. I don't know who
Speaker 1: this letter is from, but it looks great, So I
Speaker 1: don't know. I can't. I can't. I literally can't read
Speaker 1: any of it. But clearly fully I don't know, I
Speaker 1: don't know what it says. That's all I got for you, buddy.
Speaker 1: Next up is Adam never wrestle with pigs. You both
Speaker 1: get dirty and the pig likes it. George Bernard Shaw. Yes,
Speaker 1: that's the full quote that I referenced in passing, So
Speaker 1: thank you very much Adam for that. I get uh
Speaker 1: Donka with the next message here, Hello, um Derka, how
Speaker 1: are you? Um? I'm good, dom Ca. What is Derka?
Speaker 1: And why are you ready to be on Facebook? That
Speaker 1: would be the That would be the question that I
Speaker 1: want to post you straight away. And next up is
Speaker 1: Hannah And by the way, if you want to be
Speaker 1: a part of roll Call Facebook dot com slash buck
Speaker 1: Sexton and uh, here we go. We have Hannah who writes,
Speaker 1: hey man, love the show. Thanks for all you do
Speaker 1: so as I commission a Men of the Blaze calendar.
Speaker 1: Uh if I get this done, can we get you
Speaker 1: for an October surprise? Also? I would go fund me
Speaker 1: Hillary is what happened in your impression of her? I
Speaker 1: listened for the impressions millennial and Hillary are the best. Wow.
Speaker 1: Thank you Hannah Oss Homie Shields High great great to
Speaker 1: hear from you. I got the Hillary impersonation. It's so
Speaker 1: funny that people like it because I always think to myself,
Speaker 1: is anyone gonna be mad at me? Because this doesn't
Speaker 1: actually sound at all like Hillary Clinton? But it, as
Speaker 1: I say, it captures her essence in a way that
Speaker 1: I think very few other impersonators are able to. I
Speaker 1: think that there's there's a particular resonance with folks when
Speaker 1: they hear me do the Hillary impersonation, because they're like,
Speaker 1: you know what, it doesn't sound like Hillary, but I
Speaker 1: know anyway that it is in fact Hillary. Uh. Next
Speaker 1: up is Matt buck You've been lamenting the lack of
Speaker 1: proper email address for the show. Have you thought about
Speaker 1: having a contest fliti just for choose the address. I'd
Speaker 1: go for buck Topia at an email address, as always
Speaker 1: loved the show Shields High. Matt, that's actually a great idea.
Speaker 1: I like, I like buck Topia. We're gonna have a
Speaker 1: new email address. We're gonna have it soon. I'm just
Speaker 1: waiting to get more information on our website redesign, which
Speaker 1: is happening as we speak, and once that is up,
Speaker 1: we will be able to go from there. Uh. Next
Speaker 1: up here, William. I know your generation needs to have
Speaker 1: your hero, but when you put it under the microscope,
Speaker 1: Lebron is just a distant second best from his area,
Speaker 1: nows Michael Jordan's I know that Michael has more uh
Speaker 1: more rings. I know that right, and I know that
Speaker 1: um Jordan is an icon that is really timeless. But
Speaker 1: I gotta say, Lebron, he's so dominant, so dominant, you
Speaker 1: know what the truth is, guys, I don't watch enough
Speaker 1: basketball to have all that much of an informed opinion
Speaker 1: on this. Lebron has been the eight finals in a row.
Speaker 1: That's a very good point. That's impressive as heck. And
Speaker 1: Jordan never did that. But that's because Jordan left to
Speaker 1: play baseball. Just just saying, there you go. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: I I was last night. I was moving into my
Speaker 1: apartment and down here and I spent you know, I
Speaker 1: spent some time and I had to go out on
Speaker 1: the street in the neighborhood and I walked and I
Speaker 1: remember thinking, oh my gosh, I thought New York was loud.
Speaker 1: This city is crazy, Like it's so loud to hear.
Speaker 1: There's so much noise and commotion, so many things going
Speaker 1: on in the street. But sure enough, of what I
Speaker 1: didn't realize until I went out and saw the oceans
Speaker 1: of people running around everywhere with red jerseys on, is
Speaker 1: that the Capitals were in the Stanley Cup Finals. Did
Speaker 1: you know this, Producer, Mike, I was unaware of this,
Speaker 1: and I'm here in d C. I'm in the swamp.
Speaker 1: It turns out a swamp team is in the is
Speaker 1: in the Stanley Cup finals and and in fact one,
Speaker 1: so everybody was was getting really uh you know, amped
Speaker 1: up over this obviously, all these people walking around these
Speaker 1: red capitals jerseys in the street. I was looking for
Speaker 1: paper products. I won't get any worse specificity than that.
Speaker 1: It was kind of it was towards the later part
Speaker 1: of the evening. I was looking for paper products, because
Speaker 1: truth be told, when you move into a place sometimes
Speaker 1: you forget things like I don't have paper products there.
Speaker 1: And I went into a a Walgreens. And when I
Speaker 1: was in the wall Greens, it was wall to wall
Speaker 1: people in these red jersey ease and you know, they
Speaker 1: were all um excited about the capitals. But my favorite
Speaker 1: thing was that there was a real commotion at one
Speaker 1: point by the coolers, and I could see what was
Speaker 1: going on. These guys were just looking around this One
Speaker 1: guy goes, you, guys, oh no, they only have one
Speaker 1: kind of beer left, and it's oh duels, and the
Speaker 1: whole crowds like no. They all got so upset because
Speaker 1: there was a fair amount of drinking going on, and uh,
Speaker 1: pretty much every store within I'd say a ten block
Speaker 1: radius of this downtown d C Stanley Cup party had
Speaker 1: had been ransacked. I mean people paid for it, but
Speaker 1: but they were out of booze, and so when the
Speaker 1: only thing they had left was oh duels, that did
Speaker 1: not sit well with the folks who had assembled there.
Speaker 1: They were not they were not happy about it. Uh,
Speaker 1: next up here? Oh yeah, So that was my story
Speaker 1: about the Stanley Cup. I also thought it was a
Speaker 1: playoff game. I didn't realize it was a Stanley Cup finals.
Speaker 1: So I need to become well better verse, I suppose
Speaker 1: in DC based teams. Willie writes Buck legal aliens can
Speaker 1: lose their citizenship when committing a felony. Once lost, they
Speaker 1: are classed as illegal aliens. Um well, Willie, good to know.
Speaker 1: Thank you very much for for the tip. I know,
Speaker 1: if you're here on a visa, you can certainly be
Speaker 1: deported if you do anything bad. But is you know, Mike,
Speaker 1: can you check that? Can you you can? Really? If
Speaker 1: you're a permanent resident, you can lose your citizenship. That's
Speaker 1: an interesting thing to throw into the mix. Uh. That
Speaker 1: is something that might have escaped the Buck wisdom such
Speaker 1: as it is here we go, Aries writes, I'm sick
Speaker 1: and tired. Uh, I'm sick and tired of these stupid
Speaker 1: conservatives getting their butts kicked on TV. As a concerns
Speaker 1: illegal immigration, the leftists always say that immigrants cammit less
Speaker 1: crime than most of the native population, which is exactly
Speaker 1: true for every non Islamic immigrant population in the world. However,
Speaker 1: close to six of illegal aliens are criminals. If an
Speaker 1: uneducated white male like me knows this, why don't more
Speaker 1: people speaking up for our movement? No? Are they just
Speaker 1: brain lazy or stupid? Um hmm? Interesting? Alright? Aries? So
Speaker 1: Arias thrown out something I don't know if I've never
Speaker 1: seen that statistic before. So there you there you go? Aris? Uh,
Speaker 1: roll call. I just I read what the people say.
Speaker 1: Joseph next up here here it's trying to get to
Speaker 1: your sponsor. Is it nine lives apparel dot com? Okay? Uh?
Speaker 1: From Joe here, Joe, I'm sorry if my my addiction
Speaker 1: was insufficient here, which can often often be the case.
Speaker 1: It is nine line apparel dot com. Nine line because
Speaker 1: it's a specific reference to a nine line is when
Speaker 1: there is a soldier who makes a MEDIVAC request for
Speaker 1: someone injured on the battlefield, so that the nine line
Speaker 1: is to get somebody off the battlefield. Uh. And that's
Speaker 1: where nine line apparel comes from. So think of it
Speaker 1: like nine like the number nine, and line like draw
Speaker 1: a line in the sand. Conservatives on one side, evil
Speaker 1: liberals on the other. Uh. Well, I want to get
Speaker 1: into more roll call, but you know what, let me
Speaker 1: let me take a quick policy or take a little beat,
Speaker 1: and when we come back, we'll hear more of your
Speaker 1: thoughts and we'll kick it off right for the weekend.
Speaker 1: So stay with yeah, come on, you know better than
Speaker 1: both those things. And uh, this this was into the
Speaker 1: psychology of Donald Trump? Is who is he? And what
Speaker 1: does he think? And why does he think so normally?
Speaker 1: Why does he excell abnormal? He's as dismissive of truth
Speaker 1: as he is. It's you we go on with it.
Speaker 1: I just want to say the most disturbing part of
Speaker 1: the news to me today with this notion that he's
Speaker 1: he wants to now send troops to the border. Um,
Speaker 1: you know it's true that. Okay, come on, like Michael
Speaker 1: Ken lead to the uh, the diminishment of democracy. Come on, democracy.
Speaker 1: My only word for it is you you outdid yourself
Speaker 1: without montage. Man, that was amazing. I asked for a gurgling.
Speaker 1: That was amazing. You get you get it straight up,
Speaker 1: destroyer Mark River. I love it. And the thing is,
Speaker 1: that's the guy they bring out when Senn wants to
Speaker 1: get serious. That's the guy who comes out. And it's
Speaker 1: just like it's like, everybody, wait, be quiet, everyone be quiet.
Speaker 1: Gurgan wants to wants to gurgle for asdiction for democracy
Speaker 1: and you look, you heard I'm not it's a good impersonation.
Speaker 1: You you know, you could be a big Gurgen fan
Speaker 1: or not. And you know, I'm just saying the impersonation.
Speaker 1: I think it's it's pretty jet democracy. That's what all
Speaker 1: My favorite was to do X. I used to have
Speaker 1: to sit there sometimes. I used to have to sit
Speaker 1: there and be like, oh now I get to get
Speaker 1: lectured by this guy or a young whipper snapper over here,
Speaker 1: or northing about another thing or uh good times, good times.
Speaker 1: Let's see what we have next year, um boom we have.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry I made my I made it. I made
Speaker 1: it disappear the messages, which I should not do team
Speaker 1: because I've got limited time here to get to all
Speaker 1: the rest of the roll call. Oh man, this weekend,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm gonna drink some mescal. That's what I'm gonna do.
Speaker 1: That's what That's what I've got on. That's the only
Speaker 1: thing I know for sure. There will be there will
Speaker 1: be mescal. You've seen there will be blood. Well, we
Speaker 1: drink up the oil. That was actually pretty good too
Speaker 1: for Thank you for On the Fly. I haven't watched
Speaker 1: that movie in a while, and Daniel day Lewis is
Speaker 1: like creepy good in that. It's like, did you actually
Speaker 1: just become that that person? Because it doesn't seem very
Speaker 1: much like there's much Daniel Lewis left as you're watching that.
Speaker 1: All right, Um, we have Taylor next in our roll
Speaker 1: call here, Taylor Rights, don't beat me up too bad, bro.
Speaker 1: The t bones were on sale. These stuff Portobello mushrooms. Though,
Speaker 1: oh my look, I don't hate on vegetables when vegetables
Speaker 1: are used as either an accompaniment to or a vehicle
Speaker 1: for the ingestion of meat or cheese or dairy. So
Speaker 1: those are my rules. Veggies are great as long as
Speaker 1: there is meat, and there's more meat than veggies and
Speaker 1: veggies that are used so that you can either eat
Speaker 1: a form of cheese or any form of meat that
Speaker 1: is a completely acceptable choice, as well as to your
Speaker 1: t bone. In this photo you've sent me Taylor instead
Speaker 1: of ribby. I will say this, Ribby is very fatty.
Speaker 1: I know that it's fatty and it's delicious, but sometimes
Speaker 1: you want to mix it up. You know, steak is
Speaker 1: a steak. I'll go flank steak, I'll go ribby, I'll
Speaker 1: go butcher cut steak. I like all of the above
Speaker 1: as long as you get a good seer on it,
Speaker 1: and you cook that meat well, then you season in
Speaker 1: a bit too much. You know, it's a little bit,
Speaker 1: and then I think you're Then I think you're all good.
Speaker 1: Then I think you're good to go. So thank you
Speaker 1: for sharing that with me, my friend. I would like
Speaker 1: to get to get some cooking going this weekend, but
Speaker 1: you know, we'll see if that ends up happening. John,
Speaker 1: Next up here, do you want to get someone from
Speaker 1: the boy Scouts on? There are a ton of misconceptions
Speaker 1: about the changes recently, Mike, Do we have something for
Speaker 1: the for the boy Scout situation? Here? Maybe? I mean,
Speaker 1: is there Well, we'll talk about maybe there's like a
Speaker 1: National Boy Scout expert uh or or troop leader or
Speaker 1: something whatever. We wouldn't want an expert. We wanted somebody
Speaker 1: party organization. But I'll give it some thought, my friend.
Speaker 1: I'm feeling very inclusive today, uh like salad minus the egg,
Speaker 1: because I wanted to be vegan inclusive. Bill right, Hey Buck,
Speaker 1: I've been seeing some news lately about the guy that
Speaker 1: did the Las Vegas shooting, regarding his motives, but I
Speaker 1: questioned the sources. The fact that we also haven't heard
Speaker 1: very much follow up on this gives me pause. What
Speaker 1: have you heard? Bill? Great question? And the truth is
Speaker 1: I have heard very little on this. I don't have
Speaker 1: any outside sources or any particular insight into what happened
Speaker 1: in Las Vegas. All I can really say to you is, um,
Speaker 1: I would like there to be more answers. I've said
Speaker 1: from the beginning, if you recall, if you've ben listen
Speaker 1: to the show for a long time, that my expectation
Speaker 1: was that we would not find out really de finitively
Speaker 1: what this guy's motive was. That there would never really
Speaker 1: come a time when we would be able to say
Speaker 1: to ourselves, UM, okay, we acent know what was going
Speaker 1: on here, so that that's where I am on that
Speaker 1: uh next up here, Tom writes, Oss can't even remember
Speaker 1: where I was when you made the announcement. You've been
Speaker 1: on air five days a week. Buck, Seriously, wouldn't eating
Speaker 1: less vegetables be better for the planet? Killing and eating
Speaker 1: the animals that relentlessly murder our precious oxygen? Providing plants
Speaker 1: is the only way to be green. Don't these vegans
Speaker 1: care about the planet? Tom, I appreciate the sarcasm, and
Speaker 1: also thank you for being with me from the very
Speaker 1: earliest days. It is a great honor and is very
Speaker 1: much appreciated. And you're a good man. He spells Tom
