The Buck Sexton Show too, 0:01:05.080 --> 0:01:08.319 in the conversation called Buck toll free at eight four 0:01:08.480 --> 0:01:12.679 four nine hundred Buck, that's eight four four nine hundred 0:01:13.000 --> 0:01:17.280 to eight to five the future of talk radio, Buck Sexton, 0:01:19.360 --> 0:01:21.600 Good evening. The President of United States is tired of 0:01:21.640 --> 0:01:24.240 so many black people coming to this country, tired of 0:01:24.280 --> 0:01:27.680 immigrants from Haiti in Africa being allowed in quote, why 0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:30.120 are we having all these people from the whole country 0:01:30.160 --> 0:01:32.559 has come here? The President said today the White House, 0:01:33.000 --> 0:01:35.880 this meeting behind closed doors, in which the President referred 0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:39.560 to countries like Haitian countries in Africa as a whole. 0:01:39.959 --> 0:01:43.080 Donald Trump has shown us his dark heart, has shown 0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:46.959 us his racism. But we cannot normalize the fact that 0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:50.720 Donald Trump has turned the Oval Office into our into 0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:54.040 a morally bankrupt place. Where there are lies and division 0:01:54.280 --> 0:01:58.680 and racism that comes out every single day. Apologize for 0:01:58.760 --> 0:02:01.520 using this word here, but this is quote from the president. 0:02:01.960 --> 0:02:04.280 Why are we having all these people from the whole 0:02:04.320 --> 0:02:09.600 countries come here? I'm a proud holder. My family was 0:02:09.639 --> 0:02:14.239 called macar leaders. We came from Italians and Irish who 0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:17.639 were regarded as people from whole countries a century ago. 0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:21.160 We call people slant eyes Chinese immigrants that were now 0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:23.760 ashamed of speaking about in those terms because they came 0:02:23.800 --> 0:02:26.560 from a whole country and now they're a backbone of 0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:31.320 this country. Welcome to the Book Sexes Show, everybody. It 0:02:31.360 --> 0:02:35.160 has been quite a quite a twenty four hour period 0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:38.399 here in the news cycle that was just we could 0:02:38.400 --> 0:02:41.760 have probably done a whole show of just playing audio 0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:45.000 of people cursing on TV. And reference to this statement 0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:47.840 that the President says he used different words, but that 0:02:48.000 --> 0:02:52.760 the overall sense that he was criticizing the immigration deal 0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:55.519 as opposed to him was true, and that he did 0:02:55.560 --> 0:02:59.680 call out some some countries specifically. You've got others weighing 0:02:59.680 --> 0:03:04.040 in on this. What Senator Durban was in that meeting. 0:03:04.080 --> 0:03:07.080 We'll talk a bit more about about him and about 0:03:07.120 --> 0:03:13.000 what's going on with this whole situation which is completely 0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:16.320 consuming the anti I mean, the anti Trump media. This 0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:19.360 is all they're talking about. I've never seen so much 0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:23.840 profanity in mainstream news. I've never seen so much, so 0:03:23.919 --> 0:03:28.080 many people who were racing to use a four letter 0:03:28.160 --> 0:03:32.679 word as often as they possibly could. And here we are. 0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:37.640 You have journalists, so so called journalists, I don't know, 0:03:37.680 --> 0:03:41.000 they're sometimes really pundits who are posing as journalists, who 0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:43.040 are just straight up saying the president is a racist. 0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:47.320 Here's one of them. This is Samon tonight. I'm Don Lemon. 0:03:47.960 --> 0:03:53.720 The President of the United States is racist. And that 0:03:53.840 --> 0:03:57.120 was a sentiment echoed by many different shows, many different 0:03:57.760 --> 0:04:03.120 anti Trump media members. I think that this is a 0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:07.520 very a very interesting point in the immigration discussion, because, 0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:11.600 as I've been saying to you, uh Trump, Trump knows 0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:15.600 that he can't betray his base on this, and Trump 0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:22.040 knows that the movement of Trump is um essentially falls apart. 0:04:22.680 --> 0:04:25.440 If there's no wall, if there's no immigration enforcement, and 0:04:25.480 --> 0:04:28.000 if there's amnesty, it's all over. I mean at that point, 0:04:28.040 --> 0:04:31.000 I don't know how anybody sure. The economy is is 0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:33.200 doing pretty well for now, and people would point to 0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:37.800 that and there's some other but yeah, that's pretty mainstream 0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:40.280 stuff what you've seen so far from Trump in terms 0:04:40.279 --> 0:04:47.520 of republican Republican policy preferences and tax cuts, deregulation. I'm 0:04:47.520 --> 0:04:50.440 gonna be honest with you. I don't think now a 0:04:50.520 --> 0:04:55.920 president Rubio or Cruise or heaven forbid Ka sick. I mean, 0:04:56.200 --> 0:04:57.480 I don't think any of them could have won. But 0:04:57.560 --> 0:04:59.839 had they won, yeah, they'd also pushed for for tax 0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:03.000 uts and and would be doing some of this as well. 0:05:03.040 --> 0:05:05.480 But what was different about Trump was the immigration issue. 0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:08.800 And here we are now in the midst of a 0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:12.799 discussion about it where they're just saying he's a racist, 0:05:13.320 --> 0:05:16.200 which is really a reflection of how the left takes 0:05:16.240 --> 0:05:19.760 this issue, how they describe this issue. Uh, and and 0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:26.000 they're primary debate point, if you will, all throughout, which 0:05:26.040 --> 0:05:29.680 is that opposition to immigration is inherently racist, that that's 0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:33.719 the only reason that people might be concerned about the 0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:38.000 vast numbers of illegal immigrants in particular, but also there's 0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:42.039 been a tremendous influx of legal immigrants of the last 0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:46.000 forty or fifty years or so, including from countries with 0:05:46.800 --> 0:05:50.720 very disparate cultures from what we would call uh, well, 0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:54.600 different cultures from ours and different even from Western civilization, 0:05:55.640 --> 0:05:59.280 and we would like to have an open and an 0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:03.159 honest discuss about what that means for the country. You know. 0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:05.480 One part of this, as many of you know, listen 0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:10.000 to the show I I I love history and and 0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:16.040 and every time I find myself reading a history book, 0:06:16.040 --> 0:06:18.480 it's just kind of a reminder of how many other 0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:20.560 history books I want to read. Write. The more you 0:06:20.640 --> 0:06:22.520 learn about your our history, the more you want to know, 0:06:22.600 --> 0:06:25.760 and the more you realize you have to set aside 0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:27.760 time to just begin to catch up on some of 0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:30.200 these issues. But one thing that is true is that 0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:35.960 a country that loses its sense of ideological cohesion is 0:06:36.000 --> 0:06:42.719 headed for very dangerous times. And the history of a 0:06:43.880 --> 0:06:50.080 more the history of a multi confessional, multi ideological, multi 0:06:50.480 --> 0:06:54.280 national melting pot or mixing pot or whatever you want 0:06:54.320 --> 0:06:57.520 to call it throughout the world has actually been generally 0:06:57.560 --> 0:07:03.000 pretty tough. It is not a formula for continued stability. 0:07:03.080 --> 0:07:05.840 Now in the American context, people would point out they 0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:09.680 would say, hey, we are a country that takes people 0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:12.360 from all over the world and they become great Americans. 0:07:12.360 --> 0:07:15.600 And that is true. But assimilation is a process and 0:07:15.640 --> 0:07:21.360 assimilation also requires a certain degree of buying from the 0:07:21.400 --> 0:07:24.720 people coming to the country in the first place. And 0:07:24.840 --> 0:07:27.680 if the first thing that immigrants are taught, for example, 0:07:27.920 --> 0:07:30.800 is break the law, there will be no consequences. And oh, 0:07:30.880 --> 0:07:35.160 by the way, America owes you something. America should be 0:07:35.200 --> 0:07:37.720 doing more for you, even though you came here and 0:07:37.760 --> 0:07:41.320 your first act on us soil was to break the law. 0:07:43.440 --> 0:07:48.960 I don't think that makes for future immigration policy, and 0:07:49.120 --> 0:07:50.440 I don't think that makes for a future of this 0:07:50.520 --> 0:07:55.000 country that's particularly right. I think it's going to be 0:07:56.040 --> 0:08:01.840 full of all kinds of conflict and uh, the dissolution 0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:04.200 of of our polity. As they would say in a 0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:07.400 political science class, right, our political union or political entity. 0:08:08.080 --> 0:08:11.080 It is all just an idea. Right, countries are all 0:08:11.120 --> 0:08:14.440 a fiction. And what you are forced to deal with 0:08:14.480 --> 0:08:18.040 when you look at the issue of immigration as Democrats 0:08:18.160 --> 0:08:21.240 propose it right now, if you really get down to it, 0:08:22.080 --> 0:08:24.200 on what grounds can we tell anyone they can't come 0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:30.240 to this country? The Democrat Party has either intentionally or 0:08:30.280 --> 0:08:34.640 just slowly morphed over time into a party that refuses 0:08:34.640 --> 0:08:38.640 to privilege the interests of citizens and Americans over anybody else. 0:08:39.200 --> 0:08:43.480 If that other person is a prospective Democrat voter. And 0:08:43.480 --> 0:08:46.080 that's what this all comes down to. It's just about 0:08:46.120 --> 0:08:48.560 votes in power for Democrats. What it does to the country, 0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:51.079 what it does to the debt, the economy, to our 0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:54.080 the shared bonds of our history and our culture in 0:08:54.080 --> 0:09:00.600 this country, Democrats don't care. They simply do not care. 0:09:00.679 --> 0:09:02.640 And a lot of us look at what's going on 0:09:02.720 --> 0:09:07.720 in Europe where there are substantial problems that are very 0:09:07.760 --> 0:09:12.280 recent in the making, with large immigrant populations who do 0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:15.640 not adopt the culture, do not adopt the legal system, 0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:19.880 they rejected, they do not learn the language. Now I'm 0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:21.679 not saying all of them, but enough that it is 0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:27.480 a destabilizing force within that society. Germany, Sweden, you go through, 0:09:27.480 --> 0:09:29.679 there's a bunch of different countries you can look at. 0:09:29.720 --> 0:09:32.240 And this is a problem, by the way, is only 0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:35.960 going to increase over time. And what is the answer 0:09:36.000 --> 0:09:38.600 that Democrats have for this? Who do the Democrats say 0:09:38.720 --> 0:09:42.240 can't come into the country. Uh, it's not clear to 0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:44.439 me that they believe there's anyone who shouldn't be able 0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:47.480 to come into this country. And keep in mind that 0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:51.120 only half the country pays income taxes. A lot of 0:09:51.200 --> 0:09:55.319 people are in the country already who are not economically 0:09:55.480 --> 0:09:58.600 contributing to the to the greater good. A lot of 0:09:58.600 --> 0:10:01.360 illegal immigrants are in the country, accessing services that they 0:10:01.360 --> 0:10:04.400 are not supposed to and and in violation of law 0:10:04.440 --> 0:10:07.600 in some cases and others, they're just exploiting the system, 0:10:07.679 --> 0:10:11.120 exploiting our our goodwill toward all people. We understand there's 0:10:11.160 --> 0:10:14.920 some circumstances, some things where you just you know, if 0:10:14.920 --> 0:10:16.440 someone comes to the hospital, you got to treat them, 0:10:16.520 --> 0:10:20.120 and I agree with that, but we cannot be the 0:10:20.160 --> 0:10:22.920 world's e er and soup kitchen. There have to be 0:10:23.000 --> 0:10:25.720 limits on this. And we wonder why it is that 0:10:25.800 --> 0:10:31.400 this discussion immediately gets turned into screams of of racism 0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:34.280 and on all the rest or we don't necessarily wonder 0:10:34.320 --> 0:10:37.240 why we should just be prepared because that's what's going 0:10:37.280 --> 0:10:40.920 to happen, and that's what is happening right now. I 0:10:40.920 --> 0:10:42.920 want to know what all of you think about that. 0:10:43.000 --> 0:10:44.520 I mean, this is a Friday, so I like to 0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:48.920 open up the lines as much as I can. So 0:10:49.200 --> 0:10:51.960 what do you think about the president's comments? What what's 0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:57.040 your take on He says he used tough language and 0:10:57.280 --> 0:10:59.720 was talking about this subject. So this isn't fake news. 0:10:59.760 --> 0:11:04.360 It may be false or exaggerated in some way. But 0:11:04.480 --> 0:11:07.040 he said, why are we bringing people in from countries 0:11:07.080 --> 0:11:09.880 that are in really rough shape? And why do the 0:11:09.920 --> 0:11:14.319 Democrats want that so very very badly? And I want 0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:16.040 to know what you think about this eight four four 0:11:16.160 --> 0:11:21.920 nine eight to five eight four four nine buck. Uh, 0:11:22.080 --> 0:11:23.760 We're gonna have a show where we just kind of 0:11:23.840 --> 0:11:25.440 roll with what we want to talk about here today. 0:11:25.480 --> 0:11:27.560 That's the way we're gonna do it. So oh, which 0:11:27.600 --> 0:11:29.760 also means that I know we're talking about something kind 0:11:29.760 --> 0:11:32.439 of serious right now. But action movie quote Friday is 0:11:32.480 --> 0:11:37.280 also in effect hit it action. You could ask yourself question, 0:11:37.920 --> 0:11:51.520 do I feel lucky? Movie? That's fot off quote Friday's 0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:57.040 action movie quote Fridays eight four four eight to five, 0:11:57.200 --> 0:12:01.400 eight four four nine hundred buck We will be right back. 0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:10.920 When it came to the issue of quote chain migration, 0:12:11.480 --> 0:12:13.960 I said to the President, do you realize how painful 0:12:14.000 --> 0:12:18.080 that term is to so many people. African Americans believe 0:12:18.160 --> 0:12:21.800 that they migrated to America in chains, and when you 0:12:21.840 --> 0:12:25.600 speak about chain migration, it hurts them personally. And he said, oh, 0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:28.360 that's a good line. And then when I talked to 0:12:28.440 --> 0:12:32.000 him what the impact this has on family unification in 0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:35.760 a nation but values families with the flag as the 0:12:35.760 --> 0:12:39.800 most important symbols of our future. They scoffed at this notion. 0:12:40.480 --> 0:12:46.000 It was a heartbreaking moment. Senator Dick Durbin there doesn't 0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:49.160 know what chain migration is or where it comes from. 0:12:49.520 --> 0:12:53.719 Chain migration has nothing to do with African Americans, and 0:12:53.800 --> 0:12:56.160 as it's not, the derivation of the term has nothing 0:12:56.200 --> 0:12:58.680 to do with African Americans who are brought to this 0:12:58.760 --> 0:13:03.040 country through slavery. Chain migration has to do with individuals 0:13:03.040 --> 0:13:06.080 who form a human chain, who are in this country 0:13:06.120 --> 0:13:10.720 to bring in the rest of their families. So Dick 0:13:10.800 --> 0:13:14.640 durban here doesn't care what the truth is, doesn't care 0:13:14.640 --> 0:13:17.080 what reality is. He's just seeing it another opportunity to 0:13:17.080 --> 0:13:23.920 pile on and engage in the most uh flimsy virtue 0:13:23.960 --> 0:13:28.400 signaling it just doesn't care. He just doesn't doesn't factor 0:13:28.440 --> 0:13:32.440 into his thinking that chain migration is not what he 0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:35.439 seems to think it is. I don't know if he's 0:13:35.480 --> 0:13:40.240 that dumb or if he is just pretending because it 0:13:40.240 --> 0:13:41.880 gives him a good sound by right now, I don't know, 0:13:41.960 --> 0:13:45.800 but it has nothing to do with with anything. Uh 0:13:47.800 --> 0:13:53.120 he I. He's just looking for an opportunity to slam 0:13:53.640 --> 0:13:56.480 the president and that's all that he really cares about. 0:13:56.559 --> 0:13:59.439 Right now. With all of this, it would be interesting 0:13:59.440 --> 0:14:02.360 if we could have a discussion actually about why don't 0:14:02.440 --> 0:14:08.079 we have a merit based immigration system in this country Canada? Does? 0:14:08.160 --> 0:14:12.520 Are all Canadians racist? Because they have a point system. 0:14:12.559 --> 0:14:14.920 They look, they look at a person, each individual, and 0:14:14.960 --> 0:14:17.160 they say, what are your skills, how much money do 0:14:17.160 --> 0:14:18.840 you have, what's your background? What would you bring to 0:14:18.840 --> 0:14:21.600 the country, and yes or no, we will let you in. 0:14:22.960 --> 0:14:26.000 That's it. If there is no process of yes or no, 0:14:26.080 --> 0:14:28.840 if it's just show up, especially when you've got, you know, 0:14:28.960 --> 0:14:31.200 a welfare state like we do in this country. We 0:14:31.320 --> 0:14:33.320 like to think of, oh, you know Europe, they've got 0:14:33.320 --> 0:14:35.480 this crazy welfare state and everything. We got a big 0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:38.720 welfare state in America. To everybody, we're twenty trillion dollars 0:14:38.720 --> 0:14:43.760 in debt. We're supposed to believe that, Uh, in many cases, 0:14:43.880 --> 0:14:47.440 illiterate immigrants from third world countries are going to be 0:14:47.520 --> 0:14:52.000 a huge benefit to an increasingly information based economy that 0:14:52.120 --> 0:14:58.760 already has significant wealth disparities. That's what we are. We're 0:14:58.800 --> 0:15:02.080 supposed to think because of doing the jobs Americans won't do. 0:15:03.000 --> 0:15:05.440 The Americans who have been doing whatever jobs they're doing, 0:15:05.560 --> 0:15:07.840 stretching back now for a few decades, have racked up 0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:11.160 a twenty trillion dollar tab that future generations are on 0:15:11.200 --> 0:15:15.560 the hook for. So where does that leave us now? 0:15:16.240 --> 0:15:18.440 If we bring a lot of unskilled labor that doesn't 0:15:18.480 --> 0:15:21.960 speak English, never mind whether they buy into the rest 0:15:22.080 --> 0:15:28.520 of American law, American culture, they're gonna save us. It's 0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:30.160 not what. It's not how it's working out in Europe 0:15:30.160 --> 0:15:32.240 where they've had labor shortages, or at least they talk 0:15:32.240 --> 0:15:36.560 about labor shortages in places like Germany. It's it's a problem. 0:15:36.600 --> 0:15:42.200 It has been a problem. Uh So, look, every citizen, 0:15:42.360 --> 0:15:44.920 or rather every immigrant, needs to be judged as an individual. 0:15:45.800 --> 0:15:50.280 I've met incredible immigrants from every country one can think of, Right, 0:15:50.280 --> 0:15:54.640 I've met immigrants from place and in fact, and I 0:15:54.640 --> 0:15:57.400 will you know, for you can start to rattle them 0:15:57.440 --> 0:15:59.120 off in your in your head, right, think about it, 0:15:59.440 --> 0:16:04.240 you know you look kit uh Cuban Americans, the Cuban 0:16:04.240 --> 0:16:08.120 American community, this country so patriotic. Some of my close 0:16:08.160 --> 0:16:12.000 friends and mentors in uh In when I lived in 0:16:12.080 --> 0:16:17.240 d C. Cuban American and they fled an island that 0:16:17.280 --> 0:16:21.440 was turned into a prison camp basically, and they're incredible Americans, right, 0:16:21.440 --> 0:16:23.680 But they came to the process legally. They bought into 0:16:23.720 --> 0:16:28.200 this country, and it's it should be on an individualized basis. 0:16:28.200 --> 0:16:30.800 What we've seen here is really an argument in favor 0:16:30.840 --> 0:16:36.160 of Americ based immigration system, not one that is certainly 0:16:36.200 --> 0:16:39.680 what we have now, which has chained migration and the lottery. 0:16:39.760 --> 0:16:42.120 Let's not get too crazy, and the lottery is fifty 0:16:42.120 --> 0:16:44.600 thou people year. There's a lot of people. But in 0:16:44.680 --> 0:16:48.080 the grand scheme of things, we've got a million new 0:16:48.240 --> 0:16:52.400 folks each year who are permanent residents or get citizenship. 0:16:52.480 --> 0:16:56.240 A million a year's a lot of people each year. 0:16:57.720 --> 0:17:01.120 So looking at this process is all about doing what's 0:17:01.120 --> 0:17:03.640 best for the American people and doing doing what's best 0:17:04.680 --> 0:17:07.240 for future generations. And you know, this country is not 0:17:07.280 --> 0:17:09.400 a it's not a guarantee that will continue to be 0:17:09.480 --> 0:17:11.679 the best, the freest and everything else. We do have 0:17:11.720 --> 0:17:13.280 to take care of our own house here a bit. 0:17:15.200 --> 0:17:18.800 But yeah, a Cuban American immigrants, I remember I've spent 0:17:19.000 --> 0:17:20.320 I spent some time with it with a friend of 0:17:20.359 --> 0:17:26.159 mine years ago. Who was a Cambodian immigrant. I mean 0:17:26.160 --> 0:17:29.640 when you've when you've had to flee, when you've had 0:17:29.680 --> 0:17:34.280 to flee the camer rouge with your family, and then 0:17:34.359 --> 0:17:37.439 America gives you safe haven. Yeah, you love America and 0:17:37.480 --> 0:17:39.920 you certainly at the time that would have been a 0:17:40.520 --> 0:17:42.399 you know, the camer rouge running your country. It's a 0:17:42.400 --> 0:17:45.840 pretty crappy country, right, Let's get away from just countries 0:17:45.840 --> 0:17:47.960 that are poor and call them crappy that that can 0:17:47.960 --> 0:17:50.320 see them a little bit like punching down. I understand that. 0:17:50.840 --> 0:17:53.520 But North Korea is a crappy country. I mean, it's 0:17:53.520 --> 0:17:59.080 also poor, but it's an authoritarian police state. You know, 0:17:59.160 --> 0:18:01.639 there there are plenty of crappy. Look, you could make 0:18:01.680 --> 0:18:03.800 an argument that you know, in some ways, you know, 0:18:03.880 --> 0:18:06.600 Russia's kind of a crappy country. I mean, not crappy 0:18:06.640 --> 0:18:08.280 in the same way that these other countries are. It's 0:18:08.280 --> 0:18:10.760 crappy in its own way, but it's got a basically 0:18:10.760 --> 0:18:15.080 a dictator. You don't really have rule of law and 0:18:14.920 --> 0:18:18.720 a free press. And you know, there's different levels of crappy. 0:18:18.760 --> 0:18:20.679 I guess what I'm trying to say. And there are 0:18:20.680 --> 0:18:22.359 plenty of Americans that will try to tell you how 0:18:22.440 --> 0:18:25.400 terrible this place is too. So you know, talking about 0:18:25.400 --> 0:18:27.120 a country is not the same thing as talking about 0:18:27.119 --> 0:18:29.600 all the people from that country. You know, when I, 0:18:29.760 --> 0:18:34.040 for example, when I criticize some aspects of Islamic belief, 0:18:34.080 --> 0:18:36.119 which you know, people get very tense about that and 0:18:36.160 --> 0:18:37.960 they get very angry. And you're not a Muslim, and 0:18:38.000 --> 0:18:41.359 what do you know? And I'm not criticizing individual Muslims. 0:18:41.400 --> 0:18:45.080 I've many people in my life, including people I've served 0:18:45.080 --> 0:18:49.720 with overseas and and have trusted with my personal safety, 0:18:49.800 --> 0:18:52.879 who were Muslim. What I'm talking about the ideology, the 0:18:52.920 --> 0:18:56.080 ideological system, the same way that I wouldn't get offended 0:18:56.080 --> 0:18:58.160 if somebody said, well, you know, Roman Catholics, they really 0:18:58.160 --> 0:19:00.399 need to they got problems with this and that, and 0:19:00.400 --> 0:19:03.560 it's misogynistic or whatever is they want to say. They're 0:19:03.560 --> 0:19:06.600 talking about the ideology, they're not. At least I don't 0:19:06.600 --> 0:19:08.680 take it as they're attacking me as a person, right, 0:19:08.720 --> 0:19:11.960 And a nation state is an entity unto itself. It 0:19:12.119 --> 0:19:16.840 is laws, customs, culture and ideas. It's not every single 0:19:16.840 --> 0:19:20.480 person that's in that country. So maybe this is I 0:19:20.520 --> 0:19:22.919 think there's a nuance that's getting lost in the conversation 0:19:22.960 --> 0:19:27.520 of the course of the last twenty four hours or so. Uh. 0:19:27.560 --> 0:19:31.000 But you know here we are. Wow, what a what 0:19:31.080 --> 0:19:33.760 a moment for the media. I've never seen this is 0:19:33.960 --> 0:19:36.080 I think it's fair to say. And by the way, 0:19:36.119 --> 0:19:37.600 we've got every line here lits, so we will get 0:19:37.640 --> 0:19:39.280 the calls right after the break. I promise you. I 0:19:39.320 --> 0:19:41.119 know you're I want to hear you all way in 0:19:41.200 --> 0:19:42.600 and got a lot of thoughts on this. If you 0:19:42.600 --> 0:19:44.520 want to throw in an action movie quote, you can too. 0:19:44.520 --> 0:19:47.440 But we'll talk about immigration. But I think the media 0:19:47.520 --> 0:19:51.080 is more more up in arms about this about the 0:19:51.119 --> 0:19:53.560 crap hole. I'll keep saying craphole instead of what was 0:19:53.600 --> 0:19:57.040 actually said, but the craphole comment, uh, than they were 0:19:57.080 --> 0:19:59.640 about the whole Billy Bush audio tape before the election. 0:20:00.400 --> 0:20:02.639 I think this is I think this is the peak 0:20:02.840 --> 0:20:06.960 of their of their outrage. So that's that's that is 0:20:06.960 --> 0:20:08.840 saying something with this media. It really is all right, 0:20:08.840 --> 0:20:10.560 we're gonna get into your calls, So stay on hold 0:20:10.680 --> 0:20:25.160 or give me a ring. We'll be right back. He's 0:20:25.200 --> 0:20:28.880 holding the line for America. Buck sex in his back. 0:20:30.080 --> 0:20:34.720 Dr King's faith and his love for humanity led him 0:20:34.760 --> 0:20:38.720 and so many other heroes to courageously stand up for 0:20:38.800 --> 0:20:45.000 civil rights of African Americans. Through his bravery and sacrifice, 0:20:45.119 --> 0:20:49.359 Dr King opened the eyes and lifted the conscience of 0:20:49.440 --> 0:20:53.879 our nation. He stirred the hearts of our people to 0:20:54.040 --> 0:20:59.520 recognize the dignity written in every human soul. Today we 0:20:59.640 --> 0:21:02.760 sell a break Dr King for standing up for the 0:21:02.840 --> 0:21:07.359 self evident truth Americans holds so dear that no matter 0:21:07.440 --> 0:21:10.119 what the color of our skin or the place of 0:21:10.119 --> 0:21:16.600 our birth, we are all created equal by God. That 0:21:16.680 --> 0:21:20.040 was President Trump earlier today, the same president that is 0:21:20.080 --> 0:21:25.000 being called a racist, vile, uh, a neo Nazi, all 0:21:25.000 --> 0:21:31.120 this stuff by mainstream journalists with big platforms, so they 0:21:31.119 --> 0:21:33.679 ignore what he says when they don't when it doesn't 0:21:33.720 --> 0:21:35.639 help or fit the narrative, and then they just focus 0:21:35.680 --> 0:21:38.040 in on one thing, take it out of context, and 0:21:38.080 --> 0:21:41.320 make it sound as bad as they possibly can. This 0:21:41.480 --> 0:21:43.480 isn't gonna change, and no one who supports Trump is 0:21:43.480 --> 0:21:45.560 gonna say, you know what, I can't support him anymore 0:21:45.600 --> 0:21:48.400 because he mentioned some countries and said they were crappy. 0:21:50.240 --> 0:21:51.920 Because a lot of people are gonna say, I don't 0:21:51.960 --> 0:21:54.800 think he's calling them crappy countries because of anyone's skin color. 0:21:54.800 --> 0:21:58.520 He's just saying it's a crappy country. There. There are plenty, 0:21:58.600 --> 0:22:01.080 There are plenty of crappy countries around the world. This 0:22:01.160 --> 0:22:06.360 is just this is just reality. Right. Democrats prefer emotion 0:22:06.680 --> 0:22:10.480 over truth, emotion over reality. But there are bad countries 0:22:11.119 --> 0:22:16.040 all over the place, right, just just the truth. But 0:22:16.080 --> 0:22:17.640 by the way, just one note before I know we've 0:22:17.640 --> 0:22:19.640 got every single line lit So by the way, as 0:22:19.920 --> 0:22:22.000 I take calls, that means a spot open. So those 0:22:22.040 --> 0:22:24.480 of you, because we had just a rush of calls, 0:22:24.480 --> 0:22:25.800 I want to hear from as many of you as 0:22:25.840 --> 0:22:28.200 I can today on the show. So eight four four 0:22:28.960 --> 0:22:31.200 to eight to five is a number as we take calls, 0:22:31.240 --> 0:22:33.720 a slot open, so call in you can kind of 0:22:33.760 --> 0:22:35.320 paste it as we go through because we've got six 0:22:35.359 --> 0:22:38.639 lines lit up right now with callers. Um. But this 0:22:38.680 --> 0:22:40.399 is from Fox News Research, so that this is very 0:22:40.440 --> 0:22:46.240 interesting for and twenty six new U s citizenship. These 0:22:46.280 --> 0:22:48.760 are the numbers in terms of country of origin for 0:22:48.960 --> 0:22:55.879 new United States citizens in. Number one Mexico two hundred 0:22:56.040 --> 0:23:02.200 nine thousand, Number two India thousand, Number three Philippines eighty 0:23:02.200 --> 0:23:06.720 two thousand, Number four China sixty seven thousand, number five, 0:23:06.800 --> 0:23:11.680 Dominican Republic fifty seven thousand, Number six, Cuba fifty seven thousand, 0:23:11.960 --> 0:23:16.399 number seven, Vietnam forty six thousand, number eight, Columbia thirty 0:23:16.440 --> 0:23:20.760 five thousand, number nine, El Salvador thirty four thousand, number ten, 0:23:20.960 --> 0:23:25.680 Jamaica thirty three thousand. We don't really want to get 0:23:25.800 --> 0:23:29.200 lectures about America's a racist country, Republicans are racist, or 0:23:29.200 --> 0:23:33.480 what we're the country that's bringing in hundreds of thousand, 0:23:33.520 --> 0:23:38.280 a million years I told you, But of the top 0:23:38.280 --> 0:23:42.680 ten countries, not a single majority, wider majority Caucasian country 0:23:42.720 --> 0:23:46.160 for new U s citizens and immigrants. And when we're 0:23:46.160 --> 0:23:50.440 getting lectures about racism, how does that work. We're being 0:23:50.520 --> 0:23:52.880 lectured about the racism of this country or the racism 0:23:52.880 --> 0:23:56.840 the Republican Party or the President himself, when it's not 0:23:56.880 --> 0:23:59.680 that we bring in some non white immigrants. We bring 0:23:59.760 --> 0:24:03.280 in a vast majority of immigrants who are in fact 0:24:03.320 --> 0:24:07.199 non white, which, by the way, if we're doing it 0:24:07.280 --> 0:24:10.920 based on skills, I'm on you great. If we're doing 0:24:10.960 --> 0:24:12.920 it based on these are people who are going to 0:24:12.960 --> 0:24:15.320 contribute right away to the economy. I don't care what 0:24:15.400 --> 0:24:19.400 color anybody is. That's not how we do it, though, 0:24:19.600 --> 0:24:21.320 we do it based on who is your Do you 0:24:21.359 --> 0:24:25.879 have family here? If you are a refugee from a 0:24:26.080 --> 0:24:29.600 you know, from a country X and you have you know, 0:24:29.680 --> 0:24:32.480 twelve relatives, do you get to sponsor them to all 0:24:32.520 --> 0:24:35.159 come with you? And then do they get to then 0:24:35.200 --> 0:24:41.280 sponsor their relatives to come with them too? Alright, every 0:24:41.320 --> 0:24:44.160 line is let let's get into this. James in North Carolina, 0:24:44.200 --> 0:24:47.679 welcome to freedom, hud sir, Yes, sir, yes, thank you 0:24:47.720 --> 0:24:49.520 for taking my call book. How are you? I'm good, 0:24:49.520 --> 0:24:52.080 Thank you for calling in good. Yeah, I just wanted 0:24:52.119 --> 0:24:54.479 to mention you mentioned that you're a fan of history 0:24:54.600 --> 0:24:57.520 as am I and m My wife is a newly 0:24:57.520 --> 0:25:01.440 sworn of marriaging citizens. Congratulations, you know, thank you so much. 0:25:01.440 --> 0:25:04.320 We're so happy. I just believe, you know, especially the 0:25:04.359 --> 0:25:05.879 time we had to wait for her to come to 0:25:05.920 --> 0:25:10.280 this country. Um, some of our best immigrants. I think 0:25:10.320 --> 0:25:13.359 that both this country from the start came from what 0:25:13.400 --> 0:25:16.760 we would call crappy country, you know, at the time. 0:25:16.880 --> 0:25:19.720 And I think that as long as people do it legally, 0:25:19.960 --> 0:25:23.879 if they're going to contribute, definitely bring them. Um, you know, 0:25:23.920 --> 0:25:26.880 I feel the same sentiment was thrown upon Irish immigrants 0:25:26.960 --> 0:25:29.560 or the Chinese coming to work on the railroad. You know, 0:25:29.600 --> 0:25:30.919 it was, oh, what are they going to bring to 0:25:30.920 --> 0:25:33.840 this country? Just cheap way. Well, they're defendants are now 0:25:33.880 --> 0:25:37.840 some of our senators, congressmen, major businessmen, and they were 0:25:37.840 --> 0:25:40.680 coming for a better life. And I just don't I'm 0:25:40.680 --> 0:25:44.600 not on board with the immigrants shaming that I feel 0:25:44.640 --> 0:25:47.040 sometimes just going on, and I think that our country 0:25:47.080 --> 0:25:50.800 has made up with people that sometimes came with no skills, 0:25:50.800 --> 0:25:55.600 but learned skills and assimilated. Um, James, I know, I look, 0:25:55.640 --> 0:25:58.240 I I appreciate all your sentiments, and I think he 0:25:58.280 --> 0:26:00.680 makes a very very good points. I would just at 0:26:00.720 --> 0:26:03.959 a few thoughts of that. One is that the when, 0:26:04.160 --> 0:26:06.879 for example, you mentioned, uh, the Chinese, I think you 0:26:07.040 --> 0:26:09.199 mentioned building the railroads in that period of time, and 0:26:09.240 --> 0:26:12.840 the the Chinese Exclusion Act and all the different persecution 0:26:12.880 --> 0:26:15.680 against the Chinese in this country as they're building railroads. 0:26:15.720 --> 0:26:20.040 But when you're talking about a pre twenty century America, 0:26:20.240 --> 0:26:23.919 just automatically, you're talking about a country where there was 0:26:24.000 --> 0:26:26.840 no welfare state, there was no federal income tax, and 0:26:26.840 --> 0:26:28.360 if you came you had to make it on your 0:26:28.359 --> 0:26:30.840 own right. There was no option to show up, do 0:26:30.920 --> 0:26:32.919 nothing and have the state pay for all your stuff. 0:26:32.960 --> 0:26:35.880 I think that's an important distinction when we look back 0:26:35.920 --> 0:26:38.480 at the historical example. You know, there's a difference between 0:26:38.520 --> 0:26:42.159 pioneers and settlers. And oh I I I'd say that 0:26:42.240 --> 0:26:45.680 I'm a persecuted minority in whatever country I come from, 0:26:45.720 --> 0:26:47.840 and now I'm in America and I just expect to 0:26:47.920 --> 0:26:51.679 check and food stamps and whatever else. Those are different circumstances, right. 0:26:51.720 --> 0:26:53.520 I think we can agree that that's a difference. I'm 0:26:53.520 --> 0:26:56.160 not saying that negates any part of what you've said, 0:26:56.160 --> 0:26:59.280 but that's an important thing to keep in mind here. 0:26:59.440 --> 0:27:02.600 Uh And and I think the objection that a lot 0:27:02.640 --> 0:27:04.600 of I mean, I can't say a lot what does 0:27:04.600 --> 0:27:06.359 that even mean? Right? But the objection that some people 0:27:06.440 --> 0:27:09.879 people like may feel is that they are meaning the 0:27:09.920 --> 0:27:13.720 immigration authorities right now or the Democrat Party and how 0:27:13.720 --> 0:27:17.439 they pushed immigration is that they want to privilege certain countries. 0:27:18.200 --> 0:27:21.320 And that's what's happened, for example, with temporary protected status 0:27:21.400 --> 0:27:25.760 with Al Salvador and Haitian. Certain countries irrespective of any 0:27:25.800 --> 0:27:30.360 one individual from that country is it's treated as special 0:27:30.440 --> 0:27:32.119 because of the country. Right. So in the case of 0:27:32.119 --> 0:27:34.280 El Salvador. We say, oh, they had a really uh, 0:27:34.280 --> 0:27:36.399 they've had a lot of violence, or an earthquake or 0:27:36.400 --> 0:27:40.840 whatever the case may be. It changes, and so El 0:27:40.920 --> 0:27:44.000 Salvador goes to the front of the line because of that. Well, 0:27:44.040 --> 0:27:46.320 that's different than saying, well, hold on a second, somebody 0:27:46.320 --> 0:27:49.119 from El Salvador who wants to apply to be an 0:27:49.040 --> 0:27:51.680 American and wants to really bring something to the table 0:27:51.720 --> 0:27:54.920 and go through the process legally should be you know, 0:27:54.960 --> 0:27:57.280 should or should not be brought into the country. Right. 0:27:57.280 --> 0:27:59.680 That's saying the entire country gets to go to the 0:27:59.720 --> 0:28:02.879 front line because it's in such a rough, rough shape. 0:28:03.680 --> 0:28:06.080 Well you know that that that's if you're somebody from 0:28:06.119 --> 0:28:09.159 Paraguay and just to pick a country random, you're somebody 0:28:09.200 --> 0:28:12.600 from Vietnam, you gotta be like, hold on a second, 0:28:12.800 --> 0:28:15.920 why do so El Salvador now has an advantage over me? Right, 0:28:16.080 --> 0:28:19.640 because we're treating it like we view this by nation state, 0:28:19.680 --> 0:28:22.800 not by individual. And I think that's also part of 0:28:22.840 --> 0:28:25.840 the objection here. So when when Trump is lashing out, 0:28:25.840 --> 0:28:28.080 he's saying, hold on a second, why or why are 0:28:28.080 --> 0:28:31.800 we making special protections for for Haiti, for Al Salvador. 0:28:31.800 --> 0:28:33.760 I don't know the answers. They've had natural disasters, and 0:28:34.160 --> 0:28:35.399 but there are a lot of places that have all 0:28:35.480 --> 0:28:38.040 kinds of We don't have a special program for Somalia. 0:28:38.160 --> 0:28:41.520 Somalia has been basically in a state of war for 0:28:41.520 --> 0:28:44.280 the last thirty years. Right, you know what? Why doesn't say? 0:28:44.320 --> 0:28:48.520 You know what I mean? So creating a special privilege 0:28:48.600 --> 0:28:53.760 for based on nationality for countries that are doing really 0:28:53.800 --> 0:28:56.760 badly also seems kind of countered to it and wrong. 0:28:56.880 --> 0:28:58.440 I think it should be based on individuals. And James, 0:28:58.480 --> 0:28:59.760 I've been talking. Anything you want to add to it, 0:28:59.800 --> 0:29:01.560 I wanted to give you those two thoughts. Oh no, 0:29:01.720 --> 0:29:03.200 I just wanted to say thank you for that, and 0:29:03.200 --> 0:29:05.600 also to you know, I believe in the merrit based system. 0:29:05.680 --> 0:29:09.560 My wife had to wait her turn and I had 0:29:09.600 --> 0:29:11.720 to pick the coind and learn English in her country, 0:29:12.040 --> 0:29:14.479 come to the United States. Now she's a productive citizen, 0:29:14.720 --> 0:29:16.560 and it boils our blood in the house when we 0:29:16.600 --> 0:29:19.479 see people from her same country or other Latin American 0:29:19.520 --> 0:29:22.680 countries show up and, like you said, become a charge 0:29:22.720 --> 0:29:25.560 on the system. So I totally agree with what you're saying. 0:29:25.680 --> 0:29:27.200 All right, James, thank you so much for the call. 0:29:27.280 --> 0:29:30.360 Good to have you with us. Um, let's get to 0:29:31.280 --> 0:29:37.120 uh Tammy in Stewart, Virginia. Tammy, good to have you, 0:29:38.360 --> 0:29:42.240 hey Buck, but thank you, thank you for letting leave 0:29:42.280 --> 0:29:45.040 talk to you tonight. Thank you for calling in the 0:29:45.120 --> 0:29:50.120 storman Um, I know when we voted for Trump. Trump 0:29:50.160 --> 0:29:54.040 has a special way in putting things and that doesn't 0:29:54.080 --> 0:29:56.920 bother me. And sometimes strong words need to come out 0:29:57.240 --> 0:30:02.960 our words then we might not fill and appropriate to 0:30:03.080 --> 0:30:09.120 get attention. And this is a big deal in our country. UM. 0:30:09.160 --> 0:30:11.160 I know we're a great country. I know we have 0:30:11.280 --> 0:30:15.440 a lot. But as I get older, off I realized 0:30:15.880 --> 0:30:22.920 that you know, as far as medical and housing and things. Um, 0:30:22.960 --> 0:30:26.280 you know, it's harder and harder, and you begin to 0:30:26.320 --> 0:30:29.680 see that as you get older and wiser. And I 0:30:29.960 --> 0:30:35.480 feel the frustration with what Trump said because I look 0:30:35.520 --> 0:30:38.280 at all the funding and all the things that our 0:30:38.320 --> 0:30:43.760 country does for other countries, and yet you still have 0:30:43.880 --> 0:30:48.000 to watch the poor people that live there and they 0:30:48.080 --> 0:30:53.440 still have nothing. And you know, we give and give 0:30:53.600 --> 0:30:57.200 and do for others, which is good, but it does 0:30:57.320 --> 0:31:01.680 become frustrating because where's the money one and these poor 0:31:02.000 --> 0:31:07.160 people that we're accused in Trump of saying that they're 0:31:07.160 --> 0:31:10.880 they're crap. That's to me, is not what he's saying. 0:31:11.000 --> 0:31:16.280 Because people that don't have anything from the country that 0:31:16.440 --> 0:31:19.440 he stated, how are they going to get here anyway? 0:31:19.800 --> 0:31:22.840 And you know we we help. Yeah, well there are 0:31:22.840 --> 0:31:25.160 countries that are too impover I mean that are you know. 0:31:25.360 --> 0:31:27.560 The truth is that what ends up happening, Tammy, is 0:31:27.600 --> 0:31:30.760 that for a lot of folks, proximity the United States 0:31:30.880 --> 0:31:33.160 is a tremendous advantage who want to immigrate here. That's 0:31:33.160 --> 0:31:35.080 what we've seen. Right, if you're close enough to walk 0:31:35.520 --> 0:31:38.160 or to get here by boat, Um, that's a lot 0:31:38.200 --> 0:31:39.640 easier than if you actually have to get on an 0:31:39.640 --> 0:31:43.040 international flight, although we do have five thousand visa over 0:31:43.120 --> 0:31:45.360 stays a year. But Tammy, I very much appreciate you 0:31:45.400 --> 0:31:49.640 calling in. Thank you. Um Evelyn in Greensboro, North Carolina, 0:31:49.760 --> 0:31:54.080 have one Hi buck. The reason I called that was 0:31:54.440 --> 0:31:58.239 a lot of these conversations have already been said, right, 0:31:58.360 --> 0:32:02.000 But I have no proble with someone coming here illegally 0:32:02.640 --> 0:32:06.600 and and doing what is right, learning the language, going 0:32:06.680 --> 0:32:11.280 towards our belief system as far as you know, uh, 0:32:11.360 --> 0:32:15.240 getting in with the community, not establishing their own rules 0:32:15.320 --> 0:32:19.120 and laws from their country that they came and I 0:32:19.280 --> 0:32:22.920 have a coworker. She came from India with a special 0:32:22.960 --> 0:32:29.160 needs child and another another daughter. She spent so much 0:32:29.320 --> 0:32:33.560 money in lawyers and everything to get her through the 0:32:34.400 --> 0:32:39.760 you know, immigration process to be a legal naturalized system. 0:32:40.560 --> 0:32:46.800 And she came with a master's in um nuclear science. 0:32:47.400 --> 0:32:50.720 Now she doesn't do that at work, but she's she's 0:32:50.720 --> 0:32:54.720 got a high paying job, much better than mine. And 0:32:54.840 --> 0:32:59.320 so she is paying taxes and doing um, you know what, 0:32:59.440 --> 0:33:04.760 what American citizen, which she owns a home. She's she's 0:33:04.800 --> 0:33:09.360 a wonderful person. And um, they're the kind of people 0:33:09.520 --> 0:33:13.040 that you don't mind coming into this country. And I 0:33:13.120 --> 0:33:16.560 went through the test with her to try to get her, 0:33:16.760 --> 0:33:21.160 you know, familiar with the answers for to become a citizen. 0:33:21.640 --> 0:33:26.600 I don't think half or three courters of American citizens 0:33:26.680 --> 0:33:31.320 born here could answer those. Oh yeah, absolutely, the citizenship test. 0:33:31.120 --> 0:33:34.360 A lot of American citizens would fail the citizenship tests 0:33:34.360 --> 0:33:36.200 if they had to take it. But Evel and I 0:33:36.240 --> 0:33:37.720 hear you. And that's the thing. I mean, there's really 0:33:38.040 --> 0:33:42.800 no no reasonable and moral person is opposed to an 0:33:42.800 --> 0:33:45.600 immigrant coming to the country just because they don't like immigrants. 0:33:45.640 --> 0:33:48.600 It's just about having an orderly process that's as fair 0:33:48.640 --> 0:33:50.760 as it can be and that benefits the American people, 0:33:50.880 --> 0:33:53.240 the critics extent possible. Evelin, thank you for calling and 0:33:53.240 --> 0:33:55.000 always good to talk to you. I gotta run a 0:33:55.040 --> 0:33:56.640 quick break your team. We're gonna run out of time, 0:33:56.640 --> 0:33:59.480 but lines Lit will take more calls because this is 0:33:59.480 --> 0:34:02.080 a bit more and uh, we're roll into some other 0:34:02.080 --> 0:34:03.920 things later on in the show. We've got Matt wallsh 0:34:03.960 --> 0:34:06.680 jointing to talk about whether or not people should just 0:34:06.720 --> 0:34:08.640 think college is the thing to do and they graduated 0:34:08.640 --> 0:34:10.960 from high school. Here's a hint. He doesn't think so, 0:34:11.080 --> 0:34:15.640 and I agree with him. We'll also discuss uh, maybe 0:34:15.680 --> 0:34:17.880 some dating dues and don'ts letting don'ts later on in 0:34:17.880 --> 0:34:19.799 the show. It's been been a while since I've been 0:34:19.800 --> 0:34:22.360 on the single scene, but share some thoughts with you 0:34:22.400 --> 0:34:25.800 on that. I might get into the Iran re certification. 0:34:25.880 --> 0:34:28.920 Although that's a pretty short news story, but it maybe 0:34:28.920 --> 0:34:32.360 we'll get me talking about a little online spat that 0:34:32.400 --> 0:34:37.520 occurred between a few former Obama administration national security officials 0:34:37.560 --> 0:34:40.560 and a New York Times reporter. Um, I know that's 0:34:40.640 --> 0:34:43.479 very vague, but if I get into it, it's pretty 0:34:43.480 --> 0:34:46.480 interesting and I'm just really curious what you all think 0:34:46.520 --> 0:34:49.600 about this, this Trump situation as well. We've got some 0:34:49.640 --> 0:34:52.520 spots open on the lines now eight four four eight 0:34:52.520 --> 0:34:55.759 to five eight four four nine hundred buck.

Um, 0:35:25.560 --> 0:35:29.040 there you have Anderson Cooper saying mean things about the 0:35:29.040 --> 0:35:31.160 president from earlier today. We've got a lot of lines 0:35:31.239 --> 0:35:36.000 lit here. Uh, let's get into it. Daniel in Harrisonburg, Virginia, 0:35:43.640 --> 0:35:49.400 Daniel and Harrisonburg.

I think I saw the first 0:36:22.200 --> 0:36:24.360 Transformers movie. I didn't see the other like two or 0:36:24.400 --> 0:36:28.440 three after that though. Yeah. They've continued making some more 0:36:28.480 --> 0:36:34.560 in their two more new ones now oh all right, um, 0:36:34.600 --> 0:36:36.239 and they don't want to talk to you a little 0:36:36.239 --> 0:36:41.279 bit about your history podcast. So I really liked it 0:36:41.320 --> 0:36:44.480 and I thought it was really good and something you 0:36:44.640 --> 0:36:48.239 said and then it I reignited a memory my dad 0:36:48.280 --> 0:36:52.360 told me when I was listening to your show a 0:36:52.440 --> 0:36:58.000 few days ago about the Muslim Empires. And I remember 0:36:58.120 --> 0:37:03.080 that when I showed my dad at the eras would 0:37:03.080 --> 0:37:08.200 be covering in history this year because I'm fifteen in Emma, 0:37:08.560 --> 0:37:10.200 Oh no, I remember, You're the fifteen year old they 0:37:10.200 --> 0:37:13.319 called in Okay, yeah, of course, go ahead.

My 0:37:49.200 --> 0:37:54.160 dad's hairdresser, she is actually an immigrant from Mexico, and 0:37:54.239 --> 0:37:57.279 she came in the legal way, and she was kind 0:37:57.320 --> 0:37:58.840 of here and she said that she was going to 0:37:58.960 --> 0:38:01.480 vote for Trump because she had to go through so 0:38:01.560 --> 0:38:05.239 much stuff to get here illegally, and there's so many 0:38:05.280 --> 0:38:08.160 other ships coming in here not even bothering to do 0:38:08.200 --> 0:38:11.840 all that. Yeah, the people that go through it legally 0:38:11.840 --> 0:38:13.799 are very annoyed at people are very annoyed that so 0:38:13.800 --> 0:38:16.360 many people get through illegally.

All right, team, we're gonna 0:38:22.960 --> 0:38:24.799 roll an hour two here coming up in just a 0:38:24.960 --> 0:38:27.960 second eight four four nine eight two five on the 0:38:28.040 --> 0:38:31.440 lines they got me on that action movie quote Transformers 0:38:31.520 --> 0:38:35.200 is in fact an action movie. And we have to 0:38:35.239 --> 0:38:37.759 get into some other stuff here. You know, if there's 0:38:37.800 --> 0:38:43.279 everything is all focused now on this craphole comment, to 0:38:43.360 --> 0:38:45.800 the extent that there's really almost nothing else that's getting 0:38:45.840 --> 0:38:48.239 reported on out there, which is well, well crazy, But 0:38:48.280 --> 0:38:50.719 we'll get into some other stuff, So stay right there. Team, 0:38:50.760 --> 0:39:04.239 I'll be back. He's back with you now, because when 0:39:04.239 --> 0:39:08.719 it comes to the fight for truth, the fuck never stops. 0:39:08.760 --> 0:39:13.000 Welcome back to the Buck Sexton Show. You've got uh 0:39:13.560 --> 0:39:17.680 crap hole gates or whatever they're calling it now. I 0:39:17.760 --> 0:39:22.239 mean it's it's the big scandal, the big scandal. The 0:39:22.280 --> 0:39:26.520 President says he did not say it, and others are 0:39:26.560 --> 0:39:30.640 saying he did say it. And that's what they have 0:39:30.760 --> 0:39:33.960 had on the lower third of CNN, I think, NonStop 0:39:34.000 --> 0:39:38.240 for twenty four hours now, a four letter word whole 0:39:38.480 --> 0:39:41.440 and then countries. They cannot get enough of this. They 0:39:41.480 --> 0:39:44.399 love talking about this because you know that the media 0:39:44.480 --> 0:39:46.560 has been a little upset for a while, and they're 0:39:46.600 --> 0:39:49.840 upset because their favorite subject matter is the lecturing of 0:39:49.880 --> 0:39:55.720 others on racism. They love this. Wealthy particularly wealthy white 0:39:55.760 --> 0:40:02.000 liberals on various media channels really in joy and get it, 0:40:02.080 --> 0:40:07.000 get a particular thrill out of talking about how everyone 0:40:07.080 --> 0:40:09.920 how everyone who disagrees with them on whatever subject matter. 0:40:11.040 --> 0:40:14.600 It's just so racist. And they're not racist, of course, 0:40:15.239 --> 0:40:18.480 they being the liberal media people, they're they're not racist. 0:40:19.400 --> 0:40:23.759 And yet you have people like Nancy Pelosi out there, 0:40:28.000 --> 0:40:30.520 and she can say things like this, and we're all 0:40:30.560 --> 0:40:32.759 supposed to just say that this is fun. This is 0:40:32.760 --> 0:40:34.839 part of a bigger problem. Let me let me work 0:40:34.880 --> 0:40:36.320 into this with you for a moment. Here. This is 0:40:36.360 --> 0:40:39.040 what Nancy Pelosi said about some of the members of 0:40:39.080 --> 0:40:43.120 Congress negotiating over Doka. Who's going to take this deal? 0:40:44.200 --> 0:40:48.080 And then one will you know that you are? We 0:40:48.160 --> 0:40:53.200 haven't thought. Just stay tuned, Stay tuned. I would say 0:40:53.200 --> 0:40:58.759 of that McCarthy, the four four, the five white guys 0:40:58.800 --> 0:41:03.480 that call them, you know, um, I say you can 0:41:03.560 --> 0:41:10.680 open a Hamburger stand next or what? Um? The that 0:41:10.840 --> 0:41:14.920 could have been done four months ago, the very idea 0:41:15.000 --> 0:41:16.839 that this week they're saying, oh, why don't we get 0:41:16.880 --> 0:41:22.000 four white guys and General Kelly to come and do this. 0:41:22.000 --> 0:41:25.960 This is part of a much larger phenomenon one I'm 0:41:26.000 --> 0:41:27.839 sure many of you, all of you are familiar with, 0:41:28.440 --> 0:41:32.520 and that is that it is considered among Democrats and leftists, 0:41:33.400 --> 0:41:38.120 it is considered open season to mock and deride and 0:41:38.200 --> 0:41:42.279 put down whiteness, and white Democrats will do this as 0:41:42.280 --> 0:41:45.400 a means of showing that they are not they're not 0:41:45.480 --> 0:41:49.160 a part of the problem. Right that it's others, it's Republicans, Conservatives, 0:41:50.080 --> 0:41:55.520 traditional Christians who are white. They're the problem. They are 0:41:55.680 --> 0:41:59.080 the the issue with racism in this country. And I 0:41:59.120 --> 0:42:01.960 do think that there's a there's an overall sense that 0:42:02.000 --> 0:42:06.480 many people have that they are sick of hearing about. 0:42:06.760 --> 0:42:09.279 They're sick of a situation in which you can make 0:42:09.320 --> 0:42:13.880 any comment about white people. You can lecture white people 0:42:13.920 --> 0:42:18.680 on their white privilege, demean their struggles, to mean their pain, 0:42:18.800 --> 0:42:21.719 to mean their uh, their triumphs, say that it was 0:42:21.760 --> 0:42:24.960 all handed to them, say that it's all easier for them. 0:42:25.160 --> 0:42:28.480 Make fun of how white people, in different ways culturally 0:42:28.480 --> 0:42:31.560 are inferior to other people. You know, white people aren't 0:42:31.600 --> 0:42:33.480 good at this, or white people aren't good at that. 0:42:33.680 --> 0:42:37.440 White people ruined thirty things. That was a very popular 0:42:37.520 --> 0:42:42.759 article on BuzzFeed. And this has now become a punchline 0:42:42.760 --> 0:42:45.319 for stupid people. Right, it's like, oh, you know, just 0:42:45.360 --> 0:42:47.600 a bunch of oh, a bunch of white guys got together. 0:42:47.680 --> 0:42:49.920 Oh there's you know, these white guys they don't know anything. 0:42:50.480 --> 0:42:56.320 Why is that? Why is it okay two limit anyone 0:42:56.480 --> 0:42:59.600 to their their race in terms of their respect, their recorded, 0:42:59.640 --> 0:43:04.640 their case abilities. Why is mocking white people all all okay? 0:43:05.840 --> 0:43:08.560 And I should note that for for white people who 0:43:08.600 --> 0:43:12.240 aren't leftist democrats, and also just white people in general 0:43:13.000 --> 0:43:17.080 not allowed to make comments about anything else and anyone else. 0:43:17.120 --> 0:43:19.400 I mean, you're not not allowed to step outside if 0:43:19.440 --> 0:43:23.680 you're you're allowed to talk about how white people are 0:43:24.280 --> 0:43:28.560 all inherently racist, had it easier than everybody else, White privilege, 0:43:28.920 --> 0:43:33.120 white splaining, all this stuff, and you can't. You can't 0:43:33.120 --> 0:43:37.759 even speak about other races, ethnicities, or anything else without 0:43:37.840 --> 0:43:42.640 without risking firing, without risking your career, your reputation, your friends, 0:43:42.680 --> 0:43:45.799 your social standing, everything. I think everyone's kind of sick 0:43:45.800 --> 0:43:47.600 of it. At least a lot of people are sick 0:43:47.640 --> 0:43:52.240 of it. It's a double standard that has no philosophical 0:43:52.360 --> 0:43:56.719 moral grounding to it, right, It's just it's just become 0:43:56.920 --> 0:44:01.360 an accepted double standard of the media and and in 0:44:01.400 --> 0:44:04.600 our politics. And everyone's kind of tired of it, you know, 0:44:04.680 --> 0:44:07.160 Nancy Pelosi, ah ha, A bunch of white guys. And 0:44:07.320 --> 0:44:09.359 it's pretably white males I'm talking about here too. White 0:44:09.400 --> 0:44:14.279 males are now the the punching bag on college campuses 0:44:14.440 --> 0:44:18.279 for various professors, even entire classes devoted to this. I mean, 0:44:18.320 --> 0:44:21.800 the whole notion of white privilege is, so it is 0:44:21.840 --> 0:44:25.719 actually so offensive as somebody who went to a high 0:44:25.760 --> 0:44:28.680 school where there were a lot of working class we'd 0:44:28.680 --> 0:44:31.719 call working class whites. In my school, it was a 0:44:31.719 --> 0:44:35.520 scholarship school, and it was always remarkable to me that 0:44:36.520 --> 0:44:41.160 some of my friends who were uh, excellent students but 0:44:41.320 --> 0:44:45.520 came from very difficult back I think the the average income, 0:44:45.560 --> 0:44:48.200 and this is back in the nineties in my class 0:44:48.400 --> 0:44:51.640 was basically the average household income was like fifty something 0:44:51.640 --> 0:44:54.279 thousand dollars a year, which in New York City, by 0:44:54.280 --> 0:44:56.000 the way, wherever you're living in the country, New York 0:44:56.080 --> 0:44:58.759 is twice as expensive unless you live in the Bay Area, 0:44:58.800 --> 0:45:00.759 and it's basically twice as expense of his most other 0:45:00.800 --> 0:45:03.319 parts of the country in terms of quality of life 0:45:03.320 --> 0:45:05.200 everything else. So fifty grand in New York in like 0:45:05.200 --> 0:45:07.880 the nineteen mid nineteen nineties would be like living on 0:45:07.960 --> 0:45:11.439 twenty five grand and the rest of the country. And 0:45:11.480 --> 0:45:14.360 I just remember that the my fellow students, among among 0:45:14.400 --> 0:45:18.160 the white students and the Asian students, it was just 0:45:18.239 --> 0:45:19.640 kind of you know, you'nna to take out a lot 0:45:19.680 --> 0:45:24.120 of loans, and you know, your your your white privilege 0:45:24.160 --> 0:45:26.360 is only gonna get you so far here, I guess. 0:45:26.400 --> 0:45:29.240 But for the non white, non Asian students in my class, 0:45:29.440 --> 0:45:33.000 including some of higher socio economics standing than the white 0:45:33.000 --> 0:45:37.640 students I'm talking about, it was, you know, let's please, 0:45:37.760 --> 0:45:41.120 we need more diversity at Harvard. Let's bring you in 0:45:41.160 --> 0:45:44.920 as fast as we can. What what do I tell 0:45:45.000 --> 0:45:47.400 my friend who's you know, the got a single parent 0:45:48.160 --> 0:45:51.759 and his working two jobs and has better grades and 0:45:51.800 --> 0:45:54.399 better s a t S than one of his classmates, 0:45:55.400 --> 0:45:57.120 and he can't get he can't even look at some 0:45:57.200 --> 0:45:58.880 of these schools, and he's going to be drowning in 0:45:59.239 --> 0:46:02.000 debt and loans for decades. But you know, he has 0:46:02.040 --> 0:46:05.920 white privilege. I think eventually people get tired of that, right, 0:46:06.160 --> 0:46:08.399 and we we might finally be at the point now. 0:46:08.920 --> 0:46:11.000 And in large part I think it's because the Asian 0:46:11.000 --> 0:46:14.160 American community is also as also kind of like, hey, 0:46:14.520 --> 0:46:16.760 hold on a second, what the heck is this all about. 0:46:17.200 --> 0:46:21.000 You've got people that are here who are phenomenal students, 0:46:21.000 --> 0:46:24.240 do incredibly well, have had no leg up on anybody, 0:46:24.280 --> 0:46:27.279 no special advantage. You know, some of their parents refugees 0:46:27.280 --> 0:46:29.879 from Vietnam, you know, came here from South Korea without 0:46:29.880 --> 0:46:31.600 a dime in their pockets, whatever the case may be, 0:46:33.080 --> 0:46:36.040 and they're told, yeah, but you know, we we don't 0:46:36.040 --> 0:46:39.359 need you as much as we need some other immigrant minorities. 0:46:40.480 --> 0:46:43.600 Well what is that based on? Right? The whole racial 0:46:43.760 --> 0:46:48.319 cast system that the media, academia and the Democratic Party 0:46:48.360 --> 0:46:51.439 and forces on us is not just tiresome now, it's 0:46:51.520 --> 0:46:55.520 it's wrong. It's unethical. And the notion that you should 0:46:55.520 --> 0:46:59.040 be able to make fun of whiteness and white people 0:46:59.160 --> 0:47:02.000 all the time, because is ha ha ha, what what 0:47:02.080 --> 0:47:05.680 message does that send? And the Nancy Pelosi, I mean, 0:47:05.719 --> 0:47:08.880 look that she wasn't even a particularly egregious example of it, 0:47:08.920 --> 0:47:11.440 but that we have these terms like white privilege and 0:47:11.480 --> 0:47:15.400 white splaining and people say, check your privilege. You know, 0:47:15.440 --> 0:47:18.200 there was a an say that I remember reading a 0:47:18.239 --> 0:47:20.840 while ago, and it was by because I read I 0:47:20.960 --> 0:47:23.880 just like I just like smart people. I just like 0:47:23.960 --> 0:47:28.320 reading brilliant people. So I'll try anyone who is really knowledgeable, 0:47:28.360 --> 0:47:30.719 really thoughtful from any perspective. If I find it, I'll 0:47:30.719 --> 0:47:33.560 try to read it. And the guy's a socialist actually, 0:47:34.480 --> 0:47:38.239 and he wrote a piece about how the left has 0:47:38.320 --> 0:47:41.000 just completely lost its mind. He didn't say it that way, 0:47:41.040 --> 0:47:45.680 but he's basically saying when they will say that you 0:47:45.760 --> 0:47:52.879 can't really understand, you can't really understand suffering the same 0:47:52.920 --> 0:47:54.719 way as a white persons as you can as a 0:47:54.760 --> 0:47:58.400 non white person, that that pain and suffering is different 0:47:58.440 --> 0:48:00.160 for for white people. And he went in to a 0:48:00.200 --> 0:48:04.120 whole essay his name is Freddie dubor the whole essay 0:48:04.280 --> 0:48:09.360 about how he lost one parent slowly and painfully to 0:48:09.480 --> 0:48:14.120 cancer and then lost another parent slowly and uh, slowly 0:48:14.200 --> 0:48:17.880 painfully to cancer. And people will be like, well, but 0:48:17.920 --> 0:48:21.080 you're suffering is not the same as as embattled minorities 0:48:21.120 --> 0:48:22.879 in this country or something. He goes, No, I think 0:48:22.920 --> 0:48:26.759 I have an understanding. I think I actually know what 0:48:26.760 --> 0:48:28.759 what suffering is, thank you very much. I think it's 0:48:28.760 --> 0:48:31.160 a human thing. It's not a race or gender or 0:48:31.160 --> 0:48:36.440 ethnicity thing. And it's a very evil, Uh, it's a 0:48:36.520 --> 0:48:43.080 very evil way to approach the suffering of other human beings, 0:48:43.120 --> 0:48:46.320 to think, well, where do you fall in this artificially 0:48:46.360 --> 0:48:49.080 constructed hierarchy that's changing all the time of you know, 0:48:49.120 --> 0:48:51.840 who's got it, who's got it works, who's who's rougher, 0:48:52.360 --> 0:48:55.839 who's rougher off? More difficult for them to deal with 0:48:57.360 --> 0:49:01.359 um and you know, it's we're reaching a point where 0:49:01.400 --> 0:49:03.239 people are kind of sick of it. You know, I 0:49:03.239 --> 0:49:05.239 don't want to be lectured about white privilege. I don't 0:49:05.239 --> 0:49:09.040 want to be told that, you know, opposition to affirmative action, 0:49:09.200 --> 0:49:12.799 or opposition to immigrations based upon national origin quota that 0:49:12.880 --> 0:49:17.239 favor third world non Christian countries for example, or you know, 0:49:18.239 --> 0:49:21.360 or or or non white countries specifically because they're non white, 0:49:21.360 --> 0:49:25.319 that that's not something we're allowed to talk about. All right. 0:49:25.600 --> 0:49:27.080 I've been going on for some length here and we've 0:49:27.120 --> 0:49:30.040 got which I very much appreciate. We got every single line. 0:49:30.120 --> 0:49:32.279 Let let me rack and stack some calls when we 0:49:32.320 --> 0:49:35.960 come back, and we will hear from all the U 0:49:36.000 --> 0:49:52.239 team made for four to five.

It's important part of it. 0:50:39.880 --> 0:50:43.440 This is, to me is just super simple. Trump is 0:50:43.480 --> 0:50:47.960 a businessman. He's not thinking immigration, He's thinking HR Department. 0:50:48.360 --> 0:50:50.640 And you want to go get the best schools and 0:50:50.680 --> 0:50:52.839 the best places to get the best people to do 0:50:52.960 --> 0:50:56.759 the job. And it pisces me off that people can't 0:50:56.800 --> 0:51:00.160 get in a room and have a conversation with upen 0:51:00.320 --> 0:51:02.960 ideas and saying things, and nobody takes it out of 0:51:03.000 --> 0:51:05.839 the room when you when you start leaking stuff out 0:51:05.880 --> 0:51:09.439 those rooms, when you're having those back room conversations, then 0:51:09.480 --> 0:51:14.120 nobody everybody will shut up, nobody will nobody will express himself. Well, 0:51:14.760 --> 0:51:18.759 it's a terrible thing that that idiot democrat did by 0:51:18.840 --> 0:51:20.880 pulling this out and making a big deal out of it, 0:51:21.320 --> 0:51:25.399 because it hurts the sausage making that needs to go 0:51:25.480 --> 0:51:28.839 on and keeps people from being afraid to say something 0:51:28.880 --> 0:51:31.600 because it's gonna get repeated and reported and all that 0:51:31.680 --> 0:51:35.800 kind of stuff, and that hurts the system. But Trump's 0:51:35.840 --> 0:51:38.520 just hiring people, and he's looking for countries to have 0:51:38.560 --> 0:51:41.960 an education system that are training their people that can 0:51:42.000 --> 0:51:45.720 bring something to the table and help this country be greater. 0:51:46.280 --> 0:51:49.800 And the Democrats are looking for countries they have no system, 0:51:49.880 --> 0:51:51.960 and whenever they come over here, they're gonna need the 0:51:52.000 --> 0:51:54.640 government's help. If they need the government's health, they're gonna 0:51:54.680 --> 0:51:59.360 vote Democrats to me it it They detrimental to this 0:51:59.480 --> 0:52:02.279 country for the for US to bring people over here. 0:52:02.560 --> 0:52:05.239 They're all they're gonna do is lead money off the 0:52:05.280 --> 0:52:08.600 top of the of the welfare system. Yeah. I've had 0:52:08.640 --> 0:52:11.880 on before different experts who crunch the numbers and market 0:52:11.920 --> 0:52:14.319 Corey into the Center of Immigration Studies for example RB 0:52:15.040 --> 0:52:18.040 and he just says, look, you got about double double 0:52:18.080 --> 0:52:22.880 the welfare and benefits usage of of immigrants into the country. 0:52:22.920 --> 0:52:25.040 And I mean immigrants, not even legal immigrants that you 0:52:25.120 --> 0:52:28.200 do for native born Americans. I mean, that's these are 0:52:28.200 --> 0:52:30.759 statistics when when you're a country that's twenty trillion in 0:52:30.760 --> 0:52:32.560 debt and you're worried about what your economic future is 0:52:32.560 --> 0:52:36.480 gonna be. You gotta take this stuff seriously. And it 0:52:36.600 --> 0:52:38.319 also goes to the heart of whether or not we 0:52:38.400 --> 0:52:41.040 even have something that can be called the country. If 0:52:41.080 --> 0:52:43.160 you don't control your borders, who comes and goes. If 0:52:43.200 --> 0:52:46.640 citizenship is not something to be valued, but something that 0:52:46.680 --> 0:52:51.320 has given away freely to benefit a a ruling elite class, 0:52:51.480 --> 0:52:54.400 that then America it will cease to be. It is 0:52:54.440 --> 0:52:58.440 just a matter of how quickly they're they're just wanting 0:52:58.560 --> 0:53:01.040 to be politically correct about who we bring over. Trump 0:53:01.160 --> 0:53:04.400 just cares about making America great, and I see that 0:53:04.440 --> 0:53:06.600 in that conversation. I think, and most of Americans do. 0:53:07.000 --> 0:53:10.279 Only the political elite see this as an opportunity to 0:53:10.440 --> 0:53:13.600 be jerks about this, but the rest of us makes 0:53:13.640 --> 0:53:15.720 it makes perfect sense to all of us common people 0:53:15.719 --> 0:53:18.160 out here in the field. Why would we want people 0:53:18.160 --> 0:53:22.359 to come over here that can bring nothing to the table. Yeah, 0:53:22.400 --> 0:53:24.719 it's it's a straight I like your HR. I like 0:53:24.800 --> 0:53:26.799 your HR office analogy, because that's the way we should 0:53:26.840 --> 0:53:30.360 run it. That Canada's immigration system is like a giant 0:53:30.440 --> 0:53:33.719 national HR office. That's how they do it, and the 0:53:33.760 --> 0:53:37.520 Canadians are very nice and nice people, not racist at all. RB. 0:53:37.640 --> 0:53:39.520 Thank you for your thoughtful and kind call my friend, 0:53:39.560 --> 0:53:43.040 shield Tie, and have a great weekend. Uh. Let's see, 0:53:43.120 --> 0:53:46.320 we got here, a lot of calls, a lot of calls. Uh, 0:53:46.560 --> 0:53:49.680 Dave in Sacramento. We got a Sacramento calling. All right, 0:53:49.840 --> 0:53:53.200 what's up? Dave? Hey, Buck Shields, Hi, how are you 0:53:53.280 --> 0:53:57.200 field time? My friend? I'm good, good, Hey, I'm calling 0:53:57.280 --> 0:54:00.480 to um. Uh. Well, first of all, let me ask 0:54:00.520 --> 0:54:04.319 a personal question. You had you had a Porterhouse at 0:54:04.320 --> 0:54:06.640 some point. When did you do that? I've had it. 0:54:06.680 --> 0:54:08.400 What do you mean, I've had a Porterhouse steak before. 0:54:08.520 --> 0:54:10.600 I'm just look, I'm a ribby guy, all right, you 0:54:10.680 --> 0:54:12.360 know I like what I like. I know, I know. 0:54:13.239 --> 0:54:16.279 So my my point I wanted to bring up today 0:54:16.320 --> 0:54:19.880 is to kind of step back from this craphole whatever 0:54:19.920 --> 0:54:23.000 you want to call it, different countries, uh, thing that's 0:54:23.000 --> 0:54:26.399 going on right here, and take the larger perspective, which 0:54:26.480 --> 0:54:29.359 is this is just a war right now between left 0:54:29.400 --> 0:54:33.319 and right. And sorry, President happens to be on the right, 0:54:33.760 --> 0:54:38.200 just like Bush before him. He's catching it every time 0:54:38.200 --> 0:54:41.200 in the media. I remember back when Bush was president 0:54:41.320 --> 0:54:46.080 and NPR would just hammer him daily. They would put 0:54:46.160 --> 0:54:50.960 up the troop numbers of folks that got killed in 0:54:51.040 --> 0:54:56.400 an action over in Iraq and Afghanistan and him every 0:54:56.560 --> 0:55:01.400 single day. And the same thing when he started to 0:55:01.480 --> 0:55:09.200 promote the idea or promote the surge, Yeah, exactly, and 0:55:09.239 --> 0:55:12.719 they called it the so called surge is how they 0:55:12.920 --> 0:55:15.200 phrase it. Every single time. I said, this isn't a 0:55:15.280 --> 0:55:21.640 search and so just the insidious attack daily. And it's 0:55:21.640 --> 0:55:24.719 the same with Trump. He's just kidding it every time 0:55:24.760 --> 0:55:28.279 they have an opportunity to do this, except now it's 0:55:28.440 --> 0:55:33.920 completely magnified, you know, with every single news media outlet 0:55:34.000 --> 0:55:37.600 other than Fox hammering on him. Yeah, it's an amazing 0:55:37.600 --> 0:55:40.440 I mean you look at you look at the hysteria, Daves. 0:55:40.640 --> 0:55:43.000 I mean, the country is doing actually really well by 0:55:43.040 --> 0:55:46.040 all these different measures and metrics. You can look at businesses, 0:55:46.160 --> 0:55:49.520 great economies, great employments, great, I mean all this, and 0:55:49.520 --> 0:55:51.799 they're acting like we're at the end of days right now. 0:55:51.840 --> 0:55:53.719 Though they don't believe in that biblical stuff on the left, 0:55:53.719 --> 0:55:55.320 but you know what I mean, I mean they're acting 0:55:55.400 --> 0:55:59.520 like we are, you know, just just days away from 0:55:59.600 --> 0:56:02.719 some kind of Trump apocalypse. And I'm looking around. I'm like, 0:56:02.880 --> 0:56:04.680 you know, things are going pretty well, man, I mean, 0:56:04.760 --> 0:56:06.600 you know, what what what world are they living in? 0:56:06.640 --> 0:56:08.400 But Dave, thank you for the call from Sacramento Goo 0:56:08.440 --> 0:56:10.480 to talk to you. My friend, She'll tie you know, 0:56:11.200 --> 0:56:13.440 I was just one one little side here, and that 0:56:13.600 --> 0:56:21.439 is that the experience of being in what you could 0:56:21.440 --> 0:56:27.920 call a crappy country is something that very much, very 0:56:28.040 --> 0:56:30.560 very much affects your sense of how great America is. 0:56:31.120 --> 0:56:32.719 I mean, you know, it's not enough to be there 0:56:32.760 --> 0:56:34.839 for like an hour and you know then then fly 0:56:34.880 --> 0:56:36.640 out or something. I mean, you know, to really spend 0:56:36.680 --> 0:56:39.560 some time, spend a few weeks, maybe a few months, 0:56:39.560 --> 0:56:46.600 in a country where there's uh really no expectation of 0:56:47.680 --> 0:56:51.759 a government that functions without graft and theft and corruption, 0:56:52.239 --> 0:56:54.839 Where you can't trust the police, where the police don't 0:56:54.840 --> 0:56:56.960 come even if you call them, where if they do come, 0:56:56.960 --> 0:56:59.439 they're just as likely to shake you down or maybe 0:56:59.440 --> 0:57:01.560 even do you harm as any bad guys that are 0:57:01.560 --> 0:57:04.880 in your home. Where there's raw sewage in the streets, 0:57:05.440 --> 0:57:08.719 where there aren't street lights, where you don't really have 0:57:08.840 --> 0:57:13.759 much in the way of cell phone signal and very 0:57:13.760 --> 0:57:18.000 little in the way of of WiFi, Where kids walk around, 0:57:18.200 --> 0:57:21.760 sometimes up to their ankles in raw sewage and runoff, 0:57:22.320 --> 0:57:27.280 where indoor plumbing is a rarity, where electricity is a luxury. 0:57:28.960 --> 0:57:32.120 There are where where people die of diseases that we're 0:57:32.280 --> 0:57:34.800 essentially eradicated in the developed world, have been cured for 0:57:34.880 --> 0:57:38.760 over a century. There are places I've been in places 0:57:38.840 --> 0:57:41.520 like that. There are places like that in this world, 0:57:42.240 --> 0:57:49.360 and it is ah very perspective changing and perspective shaping 0:57:49.400 --> 0:57:51.840 to spend some time in it, because when you come 0:57:51.880 --> 0:57:54.400 back to this country that we are in, I don't 0:57:54.440 --> 0:57:57.280 care if you are in the roughest inner city or 0:57:57.320 --> 0:58:00.960 the poorest parts of the rust belt or whatever. This 0:58:01.000 --> 0:58:07.760 place is incredible. I the the cleanliness, this technology, the services, 0:58:07.920 --> 0:58:12.480 the legal system, the food, the medicine. I mean, America 0:58:13.040 --> 0:58:16.240 is amazing. And you really, I'm just putting it out there. 0:58:16.280 --> 0:58:17.680 And I know many of you have spent time in 0:58:17.680 --> 0:58:20.800 places like this, But if you ever do find yourself 0:58:20.800 --> 0:58:22.240 in when you'll see what I mean, if you're in 0:58:22.240 --> 0:58:25.000 a truly impoverished third world country and in the parts 0:58:25.000 --> 0:58:30.120 of it where no tourists would ever go, changes the 0:58:30.120 --> 0:58:34.080 way you view this country forever. So that's something to 0:58:34.120 --> 0:58:36.360 think about here we'll be back with more calls and 0:58:36.600 --> 0:58:50.280 more to talk about, just a few other shows. Just 0:58:50.520 --> 0:58:53.440 talk at you in the Freedom Hunt. We have a mission. 0:58:54.160 --> 0:58:57.320 We fight for the truth in a team effort and 0:58:57.520 --> 0:59:02.040 buck us back with our next play time. Do you 0:59:02.040 --> 0:59:05.560 think the coverage of Donald Trump has overcorrected? That is, 0:59:05.600 --> 0:59:08.800 do you think yes, and we're over our skis and 0:59:08.840 --> 0:59:12.640 it's gonna hurt us. Yes, we've overstepped. We're over our skis. 0:59:13.320 --> 0:59:16.920 We are to not we the entire mainstream media. We 0:59:16.960 --> 0:59:24.600 are reflexively anti trump um on all things. Look at 0:59:24.960 --> 0:59:30.000 Joe Scarborough there on the Katie Kirk podcast, because yeah, 0:59:30.000 --> 0:59:33.320 I want to hear Katie Kurrik's opinions. They're gonna Katiekirk 0:59:33.480 --> 0:59:35.520 very lucky person to have had the job she did 0:59:35.520 --> 0:59:37.640 when she did, because I've never heard her say anything 0:59:37.640 --> 0:59:42.240 interesting in my life. But I gotta say, Scarborough, at 0:59:42.280 --> 0:59:45.640 least it is correct on this right. Let's call it 0:59:45.640 --> 0:59:48.800 what it is, saying that the media is reflexively and 0:59:48.880 --> 0:59:52.920 almost psychotically anti Trump. I think Morning Joe's as a 0:59:52.960 --> 0:59:55.880 show not as bad as some others, but it's also 0:59:55.880 --> 1:00:00.560 pretty reflexively and insanely anti Trump. But it's not gonna 1:00:00.560 --> 1:00:03.880 get any better after this. I should note though I 1:00:04.040 --> 1:00:06.080 have not I will say that I have not seen 1:00:07.520 --> 1:00:09.560 or heard from and I talked to a lot of 1:00:09.920 --> 1:00:11.360 a lot of people listen to the show or in 1:00:11.360 --> 1:00:14.560 constant contact with me via Facebook or email. I got 1:00:14.760 --> 1:00:19.320 a lot of friends in the media, you know, writers, journalist, reporters, 1:00:19.360 --> 1:00:23.960 all that no one who's pro Trump has seen this 1:00:24.000 --> 1:00:27.560 whole exchange, over the crap, whole countries, and it's like, 1:00:27.600 --> 1:00:30.680 this is it for me. I'm done, which is pretty 1:00:30.680 --> 1:00:33.320 amazing when you think about I mean, I'm just it's anecdotal. 1:00:33.320 --> 1:00:35.520 I understand. I'm not giving you a scientific study here, 1:00:35.560 --> 1:00:38.920 but I haven't heard from anyone yet that they're like, 1:00:38.960 --> 1:00:41.400 you know what, this is too much, He's gone too far. 1:00:41.520 --> 1:00:45.520 I'm done with Trump over this. Meanwhile, if you're anti Trump, 1:00:45.640 --> 1:00:49.520 this is now what we're we're in. It's like Dante's 1:00:49.520 --> 1:00:51.440 Inferno and this is the ninth circle of Hell. I mean, 1:00:51.440 --> 1:00:53.040 this is the worst of the worst of the worst. 1:00:55.920 --> 1:01:01.200 Greg in Oklahoma City, It's ranger, Greg, isn't it. Buck. 1:01:01.280 --> 1:01:03.439 How's it going today? I'm good, brother, Thank you for calling, 1:01:03.440 --> 1:01:06.800 and always good to talk to you. Absolutely, man um, 1:01:06.840 --> 1:01:09.800 I just wanted to talk about this little spat between 1:01:10.240 --> 1:01:14.360 Brett Stevens of New York Times and are a steamed 1:01:14.400 --> 1:01:18.520 friend Tommy A. Vitter Um, who was a formal National 1:01:18.560 --> 1:01:24.080 Security Council spokesman for the Obama administration, and this theory 1:01:24.480 --> 1:01:29.280 that Obama administration people had tipped off the Israeli or 1:01:29.520 --> 1:01:32.920 excuse me, the Iranians, that the Israelis we're going to 1:01:33.560 --> 1:01:38.760 kill or assassinated, if you will, general solemnity. And I 1:01:38.800 --> 1:01:41.800 find it interesting that many of the players in this 1:01:42.360 --> 1:01:46.280 um have no experience in foreign policy at all. I mean, 1:01:47.080 --> 1:01:49.280 vitter Is it was just in college and had a 1:01:49.320 --> 1:01:51.439 b A. And it was just like a van driver, 1:01:51.560 --> 1:01:54.960 I guess for UM, Obama for America, and then all 1:01:55.000 --> 1:01:58.120 of a sudden, in a few short years later, is 1:01:58.160 --> 1:02:03.120 a natural security spokesman with no actual experience in national security. 1:02:03.200 --> 1:02:05.720 Oh yeah, oh no, he's first of all, he's the 1:02:05.720 --> 1:02:10.480 guy who's like, dude, Benghazi was like two three years ago. Bra, 1:02:10.920 --> 1:02:13.720 that was Tommy vitor Uh. If you remember that that 1:02:13.800 --> 1:02:15.919 exchange from that was on national television, I'll never forget. 1:02:15.960 --> 1:02:20.240 There's like it was like two years ago. Hang ten. Uh. 1:02:20.280 --> 1:02:22.600 So here's here's the exchange. Let me let me get 1:02:22.640 --> 1:02:24.160 into it a bit. I've I've been reading about this. 1:02:24.200 --> 1:02:25.920 I had a feeling this is what would happen with it. 1:02:26.480 --> 1:02:29.480 So you had Brett Stevens, who is a former Wall 1:02:29.520 --> 1:02:34.919 Street journal never Trump, current New York Times editorialist. He 1:02:35.160 --> 1:02:38.200 leans right, but he's never He's he's never Trump like Trump. 1:02:39.040 --> 1:02:42.680 If Trump wears a blue suit, Brett Stevens wants to 1:02:42.720 --> 1:02:44.880 wear a gray one. Right, It's it's like he is 1:02:45.240 --> 1:02:48.880 never Trump in a way that's a a sickness. But 1:02:48.960 --> 1:02:53.520 he's now the New York Times, and he raised an 1:02:53.680 --> 1:02:56.880 r he he tweeted out an article from how Arts, 1:02:57.520 --> 1:03:02.360 which is an Israeli left newspaper, and in Hearts they 1:03:02.480 --> 1:03:06.840 cited I believe it was a Kuwaiti sourced claim. So 1:03:07.000 --> 1:03:10.680 take that for whatever it's worth. That the Obama administration 1:03:10.840 --> 1:03:15.480 had given heads up somehow to Custom Solimani, who's the 1:03:15.520 --> 1:03:18.120 head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, the i r 1:03:18.240 --> 1:03:22.240 g C, which everybody listening is the is the kind 1:03:22.240 --> 1:03:27.440 of the crazy revolutionary henchman of the Iranian regime. Think 1:03:27.440 --> 1:03:32.200 of it that way. You know, if if there were like, uh, 1:03:32.280 --> 1:03:35.520 it's like the the equivalent if they could create you know, 1:03:35.760 --> 1:03:39.360 spec ops jihadis. That's what the I r g C 1:03:39.680 --> 1:03:43.400 is and the head of it, Custom Solimani, has been 1:03:43.440 --> 1:03:47.000 involved in all kinds of bad stuff, including with the 1:03:47.000 --> 1:03:49.160 I r g c S ties to what was going 1:03:49.200 --> 1:03:51.640 on with the Shia militias in Iraq. Greg, I know 1:03:51.760 --> 1:03:54.640 you served in Iraq. You were a sniper, uh some 1:03:54.760 --> 1:03:57.120 years ago. They were the guys that were helping get 1:03:57.160 --> 1:03:59.960 all the e f P s, the explosively formed penetrate. 1:04:00.040 --> 1:04:04.640 There's these cylindrical explosive devices that create a it's almost 1:04:04.680 --> 1:04:08.520 like a shooting a stream of molten magma in a 1:04:08.600 --> 1:04:12.240 sense through the hulls of armored vehicles that maimed and 1:04:12.320 --> 1:04:15.480 killed a lot of U S servicemen. So Consum solomany 1:04:15.600 --> 1:04:19.200 Is is human refuse and the world would be a 1:04:19.200 --> 1:04:22.360 better place if we took him out. That the Obama 1:04:22.360 --> 1:04:26.960 administration allegedly may have given him a heads up would 1:04:27.000 --> 1:04:30.720 just be another data point that the Obama and his 1:04:30.760 --> 1:04:33.120 people were so desperate to get a deal with Iran 1:04:33.520 --> 1:04:37.800 that they would even possibly betray an intelligence source or 1:04:37.920 --> 1:04:41.680 betray a method of getting information to give Cosum Solomania 1:04:41.760 --> 1:04:44.320 heads up that some other country was going to try 1:04:44.360 --> 1:04:47.360 to take him out. Well, that obviously got people's attention. 1:04:47.400 --> 1:04:49.960 Now as to Greg, your question about whether it's true 1:04:50.040 --> 1:04:55.800 or not, Vtour and Uh and Stevens went back and forth. 1:04:55.880 --> 1:04:58.680 Ben Rhodes also was pulled into this because Stevens is like, 1:04:58.720 --> 1:05:00.760 do you guys want to comment on this? And v 1:05:00.880 --> 1:05:05.000 Tour and Ben Rhodes, who is Obama's national security propagandist, 1:05:05.760 --> 1:05:09.280 UH mocked Stevens for even raising it, and they had 1:05:09.360 --> 1:05:11.640 something of a back and forth there, and effectively they're 1:05:11.680 --> 1:05:16.440 saying it's not true that it never happened. I don't know, Greg, 1:05:16.480 --> 1:05:18.240 I mean, I wasn't in government at the time, and 1:05:18.320 --> 1:05:20.080 you know, so I don't know if it's true or not. 1:05:20.480 --> 1:05:25.760 A Kuwaiti source Israeli Daily newspaper article. I mean, you know, 1:05:26.200 --> 1:05:29.320 maybe maybe not, who knows, But I would say that 1:05:29.440 --> 1:05:32.560 I would find it at least theoretically believable that the 1:05:32.560 --> 1:05:35.200 Obama administration would do that. And what was even more 1:05:35.280 --> 1:05:40.240 interesting was that these two senior Obama administration officials thought 1:05:40.240 --> 1:05:45.280 it was completely beyond the pale that taking out the 1:05:45.360 --> 1:05:48.000 leader of the Kods Force, which is a terrorist organization, 1:05:49.000 --> 1:05:51.200 they think that's just insane, and they that was what 1:05:51.240 --> 1:05:54.040 was interesting in the exchange. So you know, they're like, 1:05:54.360 --> 1:05:56.640 you know, yeah, killing an Iranian leader, like we would 1:05:56.680 --> 1:05:59.600 ever do that? Um. First of all, you know, if 1:05:59.640 --> 1:06:01.600 we could have taken Saddam out in the early days 1:06:01.600 --> 1:06:04.200 and one of those palaces with a big bomb, I'm sure, 1:06:04.240 --> 1:06:06.040 I'm sure we would have been perfectly happy to do that. 1:06:06.360 --> 1:06:08.160 And second of all, he's a I mean, the IRG 1:06:08.240 --> 1:06:12.040 season designated terrorist organization, and Consum Solimani has American blood 1:06:12.040 --> 1:06:14.439 on his hands. You know, if I had the choice 1:06:14.440 --> 1:06:16.880 to drop a jade m on on Cossum Solimani, I 1:06:16.920 --> 1:06:20.680 know which, I know which answer i'd give Greg. Yeah, 1:06:20.720 --> 1:06:22.680 I think that. I think it was interesting too that 1:06:22.880 --> 1:06:27.080 they both have defended, uh, the idea that Israel shouldn't 1:06:27.120 --> 1:06:29.080 do that. Yeah, sorry, Israel was the country that was 1:06:29.240 --> 1:06:30.920 that was, you know, according to this article, going to 1:06:31.000 --> 1:06:34.320 take out Costam Solomany. And you know, I would look 1:06:34.320 --> 1:06:36.240 at this and I'd say, well, if Israel is going 1:06:36.280 --> 1:06:39.480 to take out, you know, a senior Hamass operative, why 1:06:39.480 --> 1:06:41.200 wouldn't they want to take out a senior ir GC 1:06:41.400 --> 1:06:45.040 operative exactly? And I think Ben Rhodes's tweet in that 1:06:45.080 --> 1:06:47.680 whole exchange was kind of telling he he just said 1:06:47.680 --> 1:06:49.960 it was outrage Is that you would even suggest it? 1:06:50.360 --> 1:06:53.880 Not that No, they didn't do it. UM. I think 1:06:53.880 --> 1:06:57.160 if somebody would accuse me of something that crazy, I 1:06:57.160 --> 1:06:58.880 would be like, no, I absolutely did not do that. 1:06:58.960 --> 1:07:01.360 Not no, that not rageous claim. How could you ever 1:07:01.720 --> 1:07:05.080 think of propagating that? Um. It is an interesting play 1:07:05.080 --> 1:07:07.320 of words that those you know, the Ben Rhodes and 1:07:07.360 --> 1:07:09.640 Tommy of your type of people have a habit of 1:07:09.680 --> 1:07:14.600 doing UM, using words very selectively and carefully in choosing, 1:07:14.800 --> 1:07:17.080 you know, how they what sort of message they want 1:07:17.080 --> 1:07:23.360 to display. UM. And Tommy's defense of general somomy solomony 1:07:23.520 --> 1:07:27.440 is absolutely crazy and insane because, like you said, he 1:07:27.520 --> 1:07:29.800 does have the blood of thousands of Americans. We know 1:07:29.840 --> 1:07:32.320 of at least five hundred that were killed with those 1:07:32.360 --> 1:07:35.160 e f P s UM and I know personally a 1:07:35.200 --> 1:07:37.920 couple of friends that are missing limbs, in arms and 1:07:38.080 --> 1:07:40.960 legs because of these things. I mean, UM. For people 1:07:40.960 --> 1:07:42.960 that don't know, an e FP, like you said, is 1:07:43.040 --> 1:07:47.160 molten steel and whatnot, and copper usually is shot at 1:07:47.160 --> 1:07:50.080 twenty two per second, so it's going through these things. 1:07:50.240 --> 1:07:54.120 It's a shape charge specifically meant to puncture US armored 1:07:54.200 --> 1:07:57.080 vehicles and kill our guys. And the Iranians were handing 1:07:57.080 --> 1:08:00.560 those two Shia militia's to kill our guys, and we 1:08:00.600 --> 1:08:02.280 should have been taken out as many of them as 1:08:02.280 --> 1:08:05.320 we could. And I know some people that were involved 1:08:05.320 --> 1:08:08.440 in dealing with those e FP networks. God bless them 1:08:08.480 --> 1:08:11.040 for doing it. But it's something that we should not 1:08:11.080 --> 1:08:13.439 we should not forget any time soon. And you know, look, 1:08:13.960 --> 1:08:16.360 I wish, I wish. Now we're getting into the rock stuff, Greg, 1:08:16.360 --> 1:08:17.960 you're not gonna have a beer and talk about this sometime. 1:08:17.960 --> 1:08:19.720 All the mom would have to be gluten free. But 1:08:19.840 --> 1:08:24.280 you know, Muktada should have taken out that evil, that 1:08:24.400 --> 1:08:29.400 evil tub of vileness. Any chance that we should have, 1:08:29.439 --> 1:08:31.960 we should have helped we could. If it's an interesting 1:08:32.000 --> 1:08:34.400 theory that we could have, they would have pushed. It. 1:08:34.439 --> 1:08:37.160 Doesn't surprise me if it did happen, because again the 1:08:37.160 --> 1:08:40.800 obamists administration just rolled over at any cost to get 1:08:41.000 --> 1:08:44.479 that Iranian deal deal done. So I mean it's something 1:08:44.600 --> 1:08:47.360 to think about. Yeah, Costum, Silmani, Matad all Sodder, these 1:08:47.400 --> 1:08:48.880 are people that you know, if we could take off 1:08:48.880 --> 1:08:51.040 the battlefield, we should, Greg, thank you for service. Thank 1:08:51.080 --> 1:08:52.960 you for your call. Brother. Always always always good to 1:08:53.000 --> 1:08:55.479 hear from you. We're gonna roll in a quick break here, 1:08:55.479 --> 1:08:59.760 team when we come back, talk about some some other things. 1:09:00.040 --> 1:09:02.720 One note, I I just saw this right before I 1:09:02.840 --> 1:09:04.439 went in to break. There was a commerce or there 1:09:04.520 --> 1:09:09.200 was a story up about hazing death I think in Pennsylvania. 1:09:09.560 --> 1:09:11.680 And we're gonna be talking about college later on the show, 1:09:11.680 --> 1:09:13.519 whether people should go to college. But I'm just for 1:09:13.560 --> 1:09:14.920 those who are listening, who are Look, if you had 1:09:14.920 --> 1:09:17.280 a great time in your fraternity or sorority, God bless 1:09:17.320 --> 1:09:19.680 and I'm glad you had a great time, But I 1:09:20.400 --> 1:09:24.360 would advise anybody don't don't join those things. And and 1:09:24.400 --> 1:09:27.920 it's it's just not it's not a good idea, you know, 1:09:28.040 --> 1:09:30.479 at this stage, it's just so much binge drinking, you know. 1:09:30.479 --> 1:09:32.160 I know I sound like a grumpy old man here, 1:09:32.200 --> 1:09:34.759 but I had a All my friends did that stuff 1:09:34.760 --> 1:09:37.080 in college, and they asked me to do the various 1:09:37.120 --> 1:09:39.439 fraternities and even I even was asked to join a 1:09:39.520 --> 1:09:43.400 secret society. And I didn't do any of that stuff. Yeah. No, 1:09:43.600 --> 1:09:47.360 No one is like smearing rotten eggs on Buck's face 1:09:47.400 --> 1:09:50.000 after making him drink, you know, out of a keg 1:09:50.080 --> 1:09:52.479 until he vomits on himself or something that's never happening. 1:09:52.800 --> 1:09:54.760 And that stuff happens in a lot of fraternities just 1:09:54.960 --> 1:09:56.920 and I don't even want to get into the sorority stuff, 1:09:57.320 --> 1:10:00.559 so I just don't do it. That's that's advice for 1:10:00.600 --> 1:10:04.240 all the young team puck out there. You're you're too cool, 1:10:04.400 --> 1:10:08.719 too worthwhile, and too interesting and individual to get sucked 1:10:08.720 --> 1:10:13.080 into some constrained social environment that's really just revolves around 1:10:13.080 --> 1:10:15.920 a lot of of binge drinking. That's my opinion. People 1:10:15.960 --> 1:10:18.120 can say I'm wrong, but if it were up to me, 1:10:18.160 --> 1:10:21.600 I would. I would all on campus fraternities and sororities 1:10:21.640 --> 1:10:26.160 across the country. I'd probably say ah later, all right, 1:10:26.600 --> 1:10:28.439 that was just out of nowhere. But I saw that, 1:10:28.479 --> 1:10:30.200 and that just it's just so upsetting. This nineteen year 1:10:30.200 --> 1:10:32.760 old kid died at a fraternity. You know, what do you? 1:10:32.800 --> 1:10:35.719 What do you? What are you idiots around him doing? First? 1:10:35.800 --> 1:10:38.040 First priority? Always we're with people. First party is gonna 1:10:38.040 --> 1:10:40.080 be everyone's okay, you're supposed to be socializing. No one's 1:10:40.080 --> 1:10:43.800 supposed to die. Good God, And I'm very anti Greek. 1:10:43.840 --> 1:10:45.840 I'm very anti Greek life. I'll just put it out there, 1:10:46.000 --> 1:10:53.000 so all right, we'll be right back. Fake news better 1:10:53.120 --> 1:10:57.719 running high because the buck Sexton Show is back. Rebecca 1:10:57.920 --> 1:11:04.840 in New Hampshire. What's going on, Rebecca do Hey? So 1:11:05.000 --> 1:11:09.280 I've spent quite a bit of time in Haiti and 1:11:09.600 --> 1:11:13.240 I just wanted to talk about um, the president choice 1:11:13.240 --> 1:11:16.479 of words. If those were the the actual words that 1:11:16.520 --> 1:11:20.800 he used. Um, I think he could have used a 1:11:21.040 --> 1:11:24.000 better choice of words. However, I can understand why he 1:11:24.120 --> 1:11:29.320 said what he said. Tell us why if that makes 1:11:29.360 --> 1:11:32.719 any sense. Well. One of the things I've learned after 1:11:32.760 --> 1:11:36.200 spending a tremendous amount of time in Haiti working to 1:11:36.240 --> 1:11:39.479 help people start small businesses a way of a hand 1:11:39.960 --> 1:11:45.200 up instead of a hand out, is that their education system, 1:11:45.320 --> 1:11:50.960 though it's all run by nonprofits, is decent for what 1:11:51.000 --> 1:11:54.479 they're used to. When friends of mine from Haiti, even 1:11:54.560 --> 1:11:57.160 ones that have worked for the u n as translators, 1:11:57.640 --> 1:12:00.040 come to the United States on a green car and 1:12:00.720 --> 1:12:03.160 they basically feel as though they have to start all 1:12:03.200 --> 1:12:06.599 the way back in elementary school all over again, because 1:12:07.080 --> 1:12:11.000 even with a degree from a university in Haiti, they 1:12:11.040 --> 1:12:13.679 can't get a job in the United States, so they 1:12:13.720 --> 1:12:17.000 inevitably end up with a very low paying job and 1:12:17.160 --> 1:12:22.600 have to receive government assistance. And this is one of 1:12:22.600 --> 1:12:25.400 the reasons why I encourage my Haitian friends to not 1:12:25.600 --> 1:12:28.639 come to the United States, to stay in their own country, 1:12:28.680 --> 1:12:32.000 get the best education they can, and to help make 1:12:32.120 --> 1:12:36.280 their own country better rather than coming here and working 1:12:36.400 --> 1:12:40.880 a minimum wage job and living off of the federal government. Yeah. Well, 1:12:40.880 --> 1:12:44.280 brain drain from countries into the US, particularly poor countries 1:12:44.320 --> 1:12:47.960 that could really use as much of their own Uh, 1:12:47.960 --> 1:12:53.320 you know, indigenous entrepreneurship as possible is a real issue, absolutely, 1:12:53.680 --> 1:12:55.640 And if you look at I know, one of the 1:12:55.680 --> 1:13:01.639 things being discussed lately is um TPR and folks having 1:13:01.680 --> 1:13:03.120 to go back. And it was a couple of months 1:13:03.120 --> 1:13:07.439 ago that the the Haitians on t p I they 1:13:07.439 --> 1:13:10.040 were gonna say, are going to have to start returning back. 1:13:10.080 --> 1:13:12.839 And I have Haitian friends here in the United States, 1:13:12.880 --> 1:13:15.640 and and they were interviewing a lot of Haitians on 1:13:15.680 --> 1:13:18.559 the radio who had been here since they were children, 1:13:18.640 --> 1:13:21.120 had gone out and gotten degrees, are working very very 1:13:21.120 --> 1:13:22.840 good jobs, and they have to go back, and they're 1:13:22.880 --> 1:13:27.479 saying it's not there. Our country doesn't have jobs for 1:13:27.560 --> 1:13:31.599 us there, and our country. We can't make a living. 1:13:32.000 --> 1:13:36.400 And my response to that is go back and improve 1:13:36.520 --> 1:13:39.400 the economy. You now have the skills to do that. 1:13:40.560 --> 1:13:43.519 Is there are a that you can country out of poverty? 1:13:43.760 --> 1:13:45.479 Is there a way that you could just I mean, 1:13:45.680 --> 1:13:48.360 we you know, we've got to We're gonna be at 1:13:48.360 --> 1:13:49.800 the top of the hour here a second, so I 1:13:49.800 --> 1:13:52.200 need to move. But just real quick, um, if people 1:13:52.240 --> 1:13:55.479 want to understand how poor I think people think of poverty. 1:13:55.479 --> 1:13:57.600 They think of like a rundown part of town. You know, 1:13:57.640 --> 1:14:00.240 a lot of people particularly haven't left the country. Hey, 1:14:00.439 --> 1:14:03.519 is is poor? Actually in a in a global sense? 1:14:03.600 --> 1:14:05.360 Meaning I believe Haiti is one of the ten poorest 1:14:05.400 --> 1:14:07.800 in fact, maybe one of the five poorest countries in 1:14:07.840 --> 1:14:10.559 the world per capita. What is that? How does that 1:14:10.600 --> 1:14:13.760 manifest itself? What's it like when you're there? Well, when 1:14:13.760 --> 1:14:16.360 I am there, I actually live out in the provinces. 1:14:16.400 --> 1:14:19.080 I don't live in Port of Prince. I live out 1:14:19.120 --> 1:14:22.840 in the countryside uh In. Sometimes I've been there in 1:14:22.880 --> 1:14:26.280 a tent through hurricanes, but generally it is in a 1:14:26.439 --> 1:14:33.599 center block or um stick built with mud structure. Um 1:14:33.840 --> 1:14:36.600 Sometimes families as large as ten people will live in 1:14:36.680 --> 1:14:41.559 two very small rooms. Uh no, running water. Electricity is 1:14:41.640 --> 1:14:46.760 through a solar panel. Um, your bathroom is a you know, 1:14:46.880 --> 1:14:50.439 a long drop out back. You are bathing out of 1:14:50.520 --> 1:14:54.080 a bucket of water with a cup, and that is 1:14:54.120 --> 1:14:59.760 how you're surviving. And even inside porter prints where I 1:14:59.760 --> 1:15:04.519 have day now and then you might have electricity turned 1:15:04.560 --> 1:15:08.080 on three hours a day and that is it. So 1:15:08.720 --> 1:15:14.160 we're talking bare bones. Refrigeration is highly unusual out in 1:15:14.200 --> 1:15:20.680 the countryside. Um. Everything is cooked over charcoal. Um that 1:15:20.880 --> 1:15:23.880 is made in the country, which is stripping the landscape, 1:15:23.880 --> 1:15:26.679 which leads to the mud flides and so on. But 1:15:26.920 --> 1:15:30.479 you know, unless you're in very small pockets in the country, 1:15:30.840 --> 1:15:34.760 you've never even been inside a regular store. It's all 1:15:34.840 --> 1:15:39.439 outside marketplaces. So we're talking the poor of the poor 1:15:39.479 --> 1:15:41.519 people who are in the United States. Unless you're in 1:15:42.080 --> 1:15:46.080 very specific areas in the United States, will never understand 1:15:46.120 --> 1:15:48.759 what it's like to be in Haiti. Rebecca, very enlightening. 1:15:48.800 --> 1:15:50.479 Thank you very much for your call, and thank you 1:15:50.479 --> 1:15:53.320 for sharing all that with us, and welcome. Thank you 1:15:53.360 --> 1:15:58.080 have a great weekend in Shield. Hie H Richard, Mississippi. Richard, 1:15:58.120 --> 1:16:03.479 what's up, hey, Buck?

I'm glad I can keep 1:16:41.479 --> 1:16:43.400 you company while you're while you're driving around down there 1:16:43.400 --> 1:16:45.720 Mississippi Shields. Hie to you brother, have a good have 1:16:45.720 --> 1:16:48.680 a good weekend. See, I'm so glad people are you know, 1:16:49.360 --> 1:16:51.160 people are getting around with the shieldside. It's so nice, 1:16:51.200 --> 1:16:53.200 such a nice call from Richard. Really really appreciate that. 1:16:54.040 --> 1:16:56.080 All Right, we gotta I'm gonna talk to you. Are 1:16:56.080 --> 1:16:59.519 we got the worst flu season in many years. I'm 1:16:59.520 --> 1:17:01.879 gonna wind about the flu. But also there's a policy 1:17:02.000 --> 1:17:03.840 tie in that I'm gonna make and I promised I 1:17:03.880 --> 1:17:05.720 want to talk about vaccines because some of you are like, 1:17:05.800 --> 1:17:09.080 don't do it, because I never people get really upset 1:17:09.120 --> 1:17:11.400 about that. Matt Wills's gonna join talk about college, and 1:17:11.400 --> 1:17:13.120 then I'm gonna talk to you about first dates because 1:17:13.120 --> 1:17:15.760 we're going to a weekend, so why not there right there? 1:17:16.439 --> 1:17:19.920 Welcome back to our three of the Buck Sexton Show. 1:17:20.320 --> 1:17:22.320 It's our last hour together. This week in the Freedom 1:17:22.400 --> 1:17:24.720 Hunt brings a tear to my eye. The only thing 1:17:24.760 --> 1:17:27.479 that makes me happy is that we'll be together next 1:17:27.479 --> 1:17:29.559 week here in the Freedom Hunt, of course. And I'm 1:17:29.600 --> 1:17:32.760 spending my weekend working on the Shield High History podcast, 1:17:32.840 --> 1:17:35.400 which hopefully everyone listening to this will at least try 1:17:36.000 --> 1:17:38.640 to download one time see if you like it, and 1:17:38.640 --> 1:17:40.519 then even if you don't, please keep downloading it. That 1:17:40.520 --> 1:17:42.840 would be great. But hopefully you'll love it, because I've 1:17:42.880 --> 1:17:45.160 gotten some pretty positive feedback so far on it, and 1:17:45.200 --> 1:17:47.960 it is a labor of love. But I don't want 1:17:47.960 --> 1:17:50.880 to sound like a hypochondriac, somebody who is always worried 1:17:50.880 --> 1:17:53.800 about being sick. Well maybe I kind of am. It's 1:17:53.840 --> 1:17:56.120 also called being a New Yorker. I think we tend 1:17:56.120 --> 1:18:01.439 to have high anxiety about catching colds and flues because 1:18:01.560 --> 1:18:03.560 we're in the subway and these huge office buildings that 1:18:03.560 --> 1:18:05.439 were surrounded by people in the street all the time, 1:18:05.479 --> 1:18:09.800 and you just you can see how the virality of 1:18:09.840 --> 1:18:13.160 a virus is a very real thing. And sure enough, 1:18:13.200 --> 1:18:16.920 I mentioned to you earlier on in the week that 1:18:17.520 --> 1:18:19.439 I got a flu shot, only to find out that 1:18:19.479 --> 1:18:23.640 the flu shot for this year is something like effective 1:18:23.760 --> 1:18:27.839 against the actual flu. And now we're already seeing reports 1:18:27.880 --> 1:18:32.720 that this is the worst flu in years, where the 1:18:32.800 --> 1:18:36.519 health officials this is this was linked up on Drudge. 1:18:36.520 --> 1:18:39.839 I think it's an ap piece. The entire continental United 1:18:39.880 --> 1:18:44.360 States is experiencing wide spread flu right now, the first 1:18:44.400 --> 1:18:47.240 time in the thirteen years of the current tracking system 1:18:47.280 --> 1:18:49.719 that has happened. According to the Centers for Disease Control, 1:18:50.240 --> 1:18:52.640 officials said that this flu season is shaping up to 1:18:52.640 --> 1:18:56.120 be one of the worst. The rate of flu hospitalizations, 1:18:56.160 --> 1:18:59.120 the number of people hospitalized with flu per hundred thousand 1:18:59.560 --> 1:19:04.080 nearly doubled last week compared with the previous week. So 1:19:04.320 --> 1:19:06.919 last week it was twenty two point seven per hundred thousand. 1:19:07.040 --> 1:19:09.599 This week the rate was thirteen I'm sorry. The week 1:19:09.640 --> 1:19:14.559 before the rate was thirteen point seven Uh, this is 1:19:14.560 --> 1:19:16.439 not the kind of thing that I right, well, I 1:19:16.439 --> 1:19:18.200 know no one wants to see anything like this. This 1:19:18.280 --> 1:19:22.719 is this is bad news. The influenza influenza A virus 1:19:22.880 --> 1:19:25.000 H three and two has caused the lion's share of 1:19:25.040 --> 1:19:27.720 the illness in most parts of the country this year. Now, 1:19:27.720 --> 1:19:30.360 why am I bring this up? One Because I'm sharing 1:19:30.439 --> 1:19:33.160 my anxiety over getting the flu again this year after 1:19:33.240 --> 1:19:36.200 having gotten nailed with it last year. As I told you, 1:19:36.680 --> 1:19:39.840 and there's nothing really that teaches humility. I always say 1:19:39.840 --> 1:19:42.080 this to people. You know, you don't know, nothing teaches 1:19:42.080 --> 1:19:44.519 you humility as fast as either having the flu or 1:19:44.560 --> 1:19:47.800 food poisoning. Because all, no matter how big and tough 1:19:47.960 --> 1:19:51.799 or cool and smooth or you know, pretty and amazing 1:19:51.880 --> 1:19:54.800 whatever you think you are, when that flu comes on 1:19:54.920 --> 1:19:57.360 and you're shaking under the covers and then sweating and 1:19:57.400 --> 1:20:00.120 shaking and sweating, and your fevers like a hundred who 1:20:00.120 --> 1:20:03.080 are a hundred and three? Yeah, you realize we're all 1:20:03.200 --> 1:20:06.120 We're all fragile little butterflies in this world. We're all 1:20:06.439 --> 1:20:09.880 we are snowflakes, and that it is easy to melt us. Uh, 1:20:09.880 --> 1:20:14.559 it's it's a reminder of our fragility. As as human beings. 1:20:15.160 --> 1:20:18.040 But it also is for me a reminder that of 1:20:18.080 --> 1:20:21.479 all the things that I would like government to be 1:20:21.479 --> 1:20:23.840 better at or to to do, maybe a little more 1:20:23.920 --> 1:20:27.160 of curing pandemic disease should be a lot higher on 1:20:27.200 --> 1:20:30.520 the list. Every time I see some big ticket fundraiser 1:20:30.600 --> 1:20:33.000 about climate change and they're like, white could die in 1:20:33.040 --> 1:20:36.519 a hundred years because the water is gonna rise. And 1:20:36.640 --> 1:20:38.360 you know, if you don't have like a canoe or 1:20:38.400 --> 1:20:40.680 a kayak or something, you know, it's just gonna get 1:20:40.760 --> 1:20:43.880 higher and higher than water. I want to yell and say, 1:20:43.960 --> 1:20:46.439 I've got an idea. Why don't you guys deal you 1:20:46.479 --> 1:20:49.720 guys being the federal government centers for disease control, why 1:20:49.720 --> 1:20:54.960 don't you deal with the possibility of pandemic influenza and 1:20:55.280 --> 1:20:57.479 try to get ahead of that problem, because it is 1:20:57.720 --> 1:21:02.000 just a matter of time. When I mentioned before the 1:21:02.040 --> 1:21:04.799 Spanish influenza, which they believe was started in the Midwestern 1:21:04.880 --> 1:21:11.400 United States in UH nineteen eighteen ors or so nighteen, 1:21:11.400 --> 1:21:14.479 I forget right around there, and it killed tens of 1:21:14.479 --> 1:21:16.639 millions of people around the world. People die every year 1:21:16.720 --> 1:21:19.760 from the flu. Usually they're either very young or on 1:21:19.800 --> 1:21:24.400 the older side, but that in the nineteen teens, you 1:21:24.439 --> 1:21:29.040 could have the rapid spread and progression of if IRUs 1:21:29.160 --> 1:21:32.120 like that that would kill so many people. Now add 1:21:32.160 --> 1:21:37.759 on to it, not instantaneous, but twenty four hour global travel. 1:21:38.200 --> 1:21:40.640 Instantaneous would be like Star Trek where the guy just 1:21:40.680 --> 1:21:44.639 appears somewhere else. That would be cool, though, but global 1:21:44.720 --> 1:21:48.200 travel is now the norm, and so one person and 1:21:48.240 --> 1:21:53.800 also just the concentration of human beings in particularly large cities. Look, 1:21:53.840 --> 1:21:55.840 this is the stuff, you know. We all have our 1:21:55.880 --> 1:21:58.320 things that get us get us worried. For some people, 1:21:58.479 --> 1:22:02.720 it's that we're gonna into a credit crisis because of 1:22:02.720 --> 1:22:04.600 the debt and our money. Our money is gonna be 1:22:04.600 --> 1:22:08.719 worthless and we're gonna be in a mad Max dystopian future. 1:22:08.880 --> 1:22:11.160 For other people, it's an e MP attack. Right, We've 1:22:11.200 --> 1:22:14.200 all got our stuff. Okay, North Korea puts an MP 1:22:14.400 --> 1:22:17.400 up in the sky. It fries everything all of a sudden. 1:22:18.280 --> 1:22:19.760 At least your problem is going to be the fact 1:22:19.760 --> 1:22:22.480 that you can't access your four oh one case statements online. 1:22:22.640 --> 1:22:25.320 You're not gonna or your medical records, the doctor's office, 1:22:25.640 --> 1:22:28.680 power stations will be off all that stuff, etcetera, etcetera. 1:22:29.200 --> 1:22:31.960 So e MP freaks on people out. For me, I 1:22:32.000 --> 1:22:34.920 think the big the big threat that doesn't get nearly 1:22:35.000 --> 1:22:38.479 enough attention is pandemic disease, and it's one of those 1:22:38.520 --> 1:22:44.000 areas where the private sector. Yeah, private sector obviously huge 1:22:44.080 --> 1:22:47.880 role to play in curing diseases. As I found out 1:22:47.880 --> 1:22:50.240 recently that Celiac disease, which is something that I'm very 1:22:50.240 --> 1:22:54.320 hopeful will be cured in the near future, that some 1:22:54.400 --> 1:22:57.080 of the cures they're looking at right now aren't really cures. 1:22:57.120 --> 1:22:59.280 They're just treatments you take while you also maintain a 1:22:59.320 --> 1:23:01.200 gluten free die it. And I just want to be like, 1:23:01.240 --> 1:23:04.840 if I can't eat my fried coconut shrimp, well, what's 1:23:04.840 --> 1:23:06.960 the point, right, Why why am I even taking this 1:23:07.040 --> 1:23:11.280 pill that's for celiac disease. But if you had, say, 1:23:11.280 --> 1:23:16.040 a a way to combat pandemic influenza that was truly effective, 1:23:17.000 --> 1:23:21.920 the humanitarian the humanitarian side of the debate would win out, 1:23:22.000 --> 1:23:23.880 meaning you're not gonna be able to make a huge 1:23:23.920 --> 1:23:26.200 profit off of it, because if it's really needed, they're 1:23:26.200 --> 1:23:29.200 gonna make it mass produce for everybody to save lives. Morally, 1:23:29.240 --> 1:23:31.559 it's correct, but there's a reason why the private sector 1:23:31.600 --> 1:23:33.920 doesn't get too excited about that, because the reason why 1:23:34.000 --> 1:23:36.960 the private sector spends a lot more money, for example, 1:23:37.080 --> 1:23:43.160 trying to cure things like baldness or yeah, dysfunction of 1:23:43.200 --> 1:23:45.960 certain male areas, a lot of money spending those, uh, 1:23:46.200 --> 1:23:51.080 those parts of the problem of then on things like 1:23:51.160 --> 1:23:53.880 how to beat the fluor or even the common cold. 1:23:53.960 --> 1:23:57.160 So I know, hypochondriact. But coming out here for a second, 1:23:57.160 --> 1:23:59.880 but just everybody wash your hands. And if you get sick, 1:24:00.479 --> 1:24:03.200 stay home, don't go to work. And if you're near 1:24:03.240 --> 1:24:05.360 somebody who's sick, don't worry. I give you a past. 1:24:05.400 --> 1:24:07.559 Don't worry about being rude. Be like, I'm sorry, I 1:24:07.560 --> 1:24:10.479 gotta here, I gotta create some distance. Here a sneeze 1:24:10.479 --> 1:24:13.320 can go twenty feet, my friends, twenty feet those little 1:24:13.360 --> 1:24:17.800 particles of saliva with those little viral things in it. 1:24:18.160 --> 1:24:21.599 So be safe out there. Important safety tips from Buck. 1:24:21.880 --> 1:24:23.599 All right, I'll be right back with Matt Walsh, gonna 1:24:23.640 --> 1:24:27.160 talk to us about college. Should you go? Should you go? 1:24:27.640 --> 1:24:30.040 We'll be right back with that, al right, everybody, before 1:24:30.080 --> 1:24:33.240 we can start to think about what's happening this weekend, 1:24:33.400 --> 1:24:36.559 We've got Matt Walsh with us on the line right now. 1:24:36.640 --> 1:24:40.040 He is a writer at The Daily Wire, also the 1:24:40.080 --> 1:24:42.920 author of the Matt Walsh Blog, and his book The 1:24:43.040 --> 1:24:46.960 Unholy Trinity is out in bookstores all over the place. 1:24:47.040 --> 1:24:50.880 Great to have you back, Matt. So talk to me 1:24:50.920 --> 1:24:53.800 about this piece you wrote on on college. Because I'm 1:24:53.840 --> 1:24:56.559 a I'm somebody who went to a four year liberal 1:24:56.640 --> 1:24:59.120 arts school. Felt like it was at least two years 1:24:59.160 --> 1:25:02.800 too long. It was way too expensive, I'd say, of 1:25:02.840 --> 1:25:06.559 my peers didn't really do anything that would truthfully be 1:25:06.600 --> 1:25:10.439 called studying, uh and at any length of time. And 1:25:10.560 --> 1:25:12.559 I thought about going to grad school afterwards, and I 1:25:12.600 --> 1:25:14.920 was like, well, that's just crazy, because that's now two 1:25:15.120 --> 1:25:17.400 dollars in addition to it. What was your piece about? 1:25:17.439 --> 1:25:20.760 Tell me about it? Now. Let's you know, I've been 1:25:20.840 --> 1:25:23.639 a I wouldn't call it. Some people call me anti college. 1:25:23.680 --> 1:25:25.360 I don't know if I call myself an anti college, 1:25:25.400 --> 1:25:31.080 but I've I'm anti the current system by which we 1:25:31.080 --> 1:25:34.840 we funnel. We just sort of automatically funnel every eighteen 1:25:34.880 --> 1:25:37.360 year old through the college education, you know, through the 1:25:37.439 --> 1:25:40.559 through your university system, without even thinking about it, as 1:25:40.600 --> 1:25:43.120 if as if it's an absolute requirement for everybody. So 1:25:43.120 --> 1:25:46.320 I'm anti that, and I was thinking about it, uh 1:25:46.360 --> 1:25:48.680 this week, especially Beau that it dawned on me or 1:25:48.720 --> 1:25:52.360 I was informed really that, um, we were about to 1:25:52.439 --> 1:25:54.840 reach the landmark in in in our marriage where we're 1:25:54.840 --> 1:25:57.960 gonna finish paying off my wife's college loans, which I 1:25:57.960 --> 1:26:00.639 didn't go to college, but and she, you know, stay 1:26:00.680 --> 1:26:04.360 at home mom, so she's not quote using the degree. Um. 1:26:04.400 --> 1:26:06.240 But we've been paying it off our whole marriage and 1:26:06.240 --> 1:26:09.559 we're almost done. So. But the fact that we have 1:26:09.640 --> 1:26:12.960 been paying off a degree that isn't being in any 1:26:12.960 --> 1:26:16.960 sort of actively used, is that just puts us in 1:26:17.000 --> 1:26:19.160 the same category. It's not a unique situation at all. 1:26:19.200 --> 1:26:22.120 Of course, this is the same situation that the majority 1:26:22.240 --> 1:26:26.439 of college graduates are in, where they are paying off 1:26:26.479 --> 1:26:29.360 degrees that they haven't exactly used. And the number that 1:26:29.400 --> 1:26:32.640 I saw when I was researching the piece was, I 1:26:32.640 --> 1:26:37.920 think it's only about of college graduates are right now 1:26:37.960 --> 1:26:40.479 in a job related to their major, which is just 1:26:40.600 --> 1:26:43.280 a It was just just such a small as it's 1:26:43.280 --> 1:26:47.280 a crazy there's an incredible number, incredibly small. Um. So 1:26:47.400 --> 1:26:49.360 I just really think maybe it's time for us to 1:26:49.439 --> 1:26:54.439 read to re reevaluate how we approach higher education. And 1:26:54.520 --> 1:26:57.000 so that's what the piece was about, Yeah, I have 1:26:57.080 --> 1:26:59.880 to say that the student loan debt and some people 1:27:00.000 --> 1:27:02.320 on in a bubble is at a trillion dollars right now. 1:27:02.640 --> 1:27:05.080 That's a lot of money by any account. That there's 1:27:05.120 --> 1:27:08.080 a trillion dollars of loans outstanding for people to have 1:27:08.280 --> 1:27:13.080 gone to undergraduate and graduate programs in this country. And 1:27:13.120 --> 1:27:16.479 if you look at the expense of going to a 1:27:16.600 --> 1:27:19.800 college program today, with the exception of community college a 1:27:19.800 --> 1:27:23.559 little different, but any state or private college university today 1:27:23.920 --> 1:27:26.000 versus what it what it was thirty years ago. Matt. 1:27:26.040 --> 1:27:27.759 I mean, I don't know if you've had this experience. 1:27:27.840 --> 1:27:30.960 My dad who was on scholarship all through high school, 1:27:31.000 --> 1:27:35.120 scholarship through college, but he would tell stories about helping 1:27:35.560 --> 1:27:38.240 at a at a boatyard over the summer to make 1:27:38.280 --> 1:27:40.200 money and he would actually be able to pay off 1:27:40.280 --> 1:27:42.880 like a semester or two by working over the summer. 1:27:43.240 --> 1:27:45.479 You would have to work for about thirty years at 1:27:45.479 --> 1:27:47.800 a summer job right now to put a dent in 1:27:47.880 --> 1:27:52.360 a private four year college university. The costs are crazy, yeah, 1:27:52.400 --> 1:27:54.040 and then you and then you, so you look at 1:27:54.320 --> 1:27:57.519 how cost of skyrocketing and then in many of these 1:27:57.520 --> 1:28:00.799 schools which you alluded to, the quality of the education 1:28:01.720 --> 1:28:04.840 is declining, So there's just as the the gap right 1:28:04.840 --> 1:28:07.679 now between quality and cost is like it's like there's 1:28:07.760 --> 1:28:09.839 light years between them and a lot of these schools. 1:28:10.360 --> 1:28:12.760 And when I say quality of the education, I think, um, 1:28:12.800 --> 1:28:15.680 that's not always about the institution itself, although often it is, 1:28:16.040 --> 1:28:17.920 but I think it it can also be about just 1:28:18.720 --> 1:28:21.639 the fact that you as as you talked about, it's 1:28:21.680 --> 1:28:24.000 possible to go to one of these schools and get 1:28:24.040 --> 1:28:27.479 a degree and leave without without ever having really learned 1:28:27.520 --> 1:28:30.360 anything or done much studying. So the quality of education 1:28:30.360 --> 1:28:32.479 isn't always there, certainly not to justify the price and 1:28:32.520 --> 1:28:35.280 the increase in price, which is why for me it's 1:28:35.439 --> 1:28:37.120 And of course there are some people that need to 1:28:37.120 --> 1:28:39.600 go to a college, that legitimately need to go to 1:28:39.640 --> 1:28:41.800 a four year institution or even beyond that because I 1:28:41.880 --> 1:28:44.120 want to get in the medical field or a legal field, 1:28:44.200 --> 1:28:46.000 or they want to be an engineer and architect whatever. 1:28:46.560 --> 1:28:48.080 So we all understand, of course you gotta go to 1:28:48.160 --> 1:28:50.160 college for that and for some other fields as well. 1:28:50.560 --> 1:28:52.080 But my point is that this is what if you're 1:28:52.120 --> 1:28:54.080 eighteen years old, you're getting out of high school and 1:28:54.080 --> 1:28:55.400 you're thinking about who I want to go to college 1:28:55.479 --> 1:28:59.040 or not, you should be able to complete this sentence. 1:28:59.120 --> 1:29:01.840 The sentence is I want to go to a four 1:29:01.880 --> 1:29:05.960 year institution so that I can blank and you should 1:29:06.000 --> 1:29:07.880 have something there. And if if it's so that I 1:29:07.920 --> 1:29:11.240 can become a doctor, then great, But if it's if 1:29:11.280 --> 1:29:13.120 you if you don't really know what the what the 1:29:13.320 --> 1:29:15.559 what the blankets supposed to be, then I think the 1:29:15.600 --> 1:29:18.200 smartest thing is to don't go to a college right now. 1:29:18.320 --> 1:29:20.320 Maybe down the line you're going to one, but if 1:29:20.320 --> 1:29:23.400 you have no idea why you're going, then don't go. 1:29:23.479 --> 1:29:25.519 And I think the craziest thing, this is what almost 1:29:25.520 --> 1:29:27.000 everyone does, and this is what they tell you to do, 1:29:27.040 --> 1:29:28.120 and this is what I was told to do when 1:29:28.120 --> 1:29:29.639 I was a nice school with my guy in sculpils. 1:29:30.080 --> 1:29:31.400 They'll say, well, if you don't know what you want 1:29:31.400 --> 1:29:34.559 to do, that's fine, just go to college anyway and 1:29:34.600 --> 1:29:37.000 then figure it out. You'll figure out when you're there. 1:29:37.520 --> 1:29:39.760 So now you're talking about paying. You're telling these eight 1:29:39.800 --> 1:29:41.960 and year old kids with no money, no assets, no job, 1:29:42.080 --> 1:29:44.840 no resume, nothing to their name, you're telling them the 1:29:45.000 --> 1:29:49.719 post to to accept a lifetime of crushing debt on 1:29:49.960 --> 1:29:52.920 the theory on the hope that while that that this 1:29:53.000 --> 1:29:55.320 thing that they're purchasing down the line will come in 1:29:55.439 --> 1:29:58.560 andy and then while they after they're they're supposed to 1:29:58.600 --> 1:30:01.280 purchase it, and then after they just figure out what 1:30:01.320 --> 1:30:04.120 they're gonna do with it. In what other scenario would 1:30:04.120 --> 1:30:07.880 we ever recommend that someone makes such a financial commitment 1:30:08.160 --> 1:30:10.160 like that. I think it's I think it's crazy and 1:30:10.320 --> 1:30:12.600 there's no reason to do it. If you, if you 1:30:12.680 --> 1:30:15.840 leave high school, get a job somewhere, go experience life, 1:30:15.960 --> 1:30:18.519 do some things, and then you decide that, hey, I 1:30:18.520 --> 1:30:20.360 want to be a doctor, Well you can go to 1:30:20.360 --> 1:30:23.080 school then, and so you're two years behind what your 1:30:23.360 --> 1:30:25.080 what your what your peers in high school are doing. 1:30:25.080 --> 1:30:28.320 Who cares, it doesn't matter um At least, then you've 1:30:28.320 --> 1:30:31.160 cut out the risk of going and making this financial 1:30:31.240 --> 1:30:34.240 commitment which in the end will not do anything for you. 1:30:34.280 --> 1:30:35.760 And that's so it's a pretty good risk. Now we're 1:30:35.760 --> 1:30:37.800 speaking to Matt Walsh or the Matt Walsh Blog. He's 1:30:37.800 --> 1:30:41.519 a writer at The Daily or at Daily wire dot com, 1:30:41.960 --> 1:30:44.360 and his piece up there on this subject is, don't 1:30:44.360 --> 1:30:46.960 believe the lie. Kids. You don't need to go to 1:30:47.000 --> 1:30:50.439 college and you probably shouldn't, you know, Matt. If I'm 1:30:50.479 --> 1:30:54.080 being honest about myself, I and I try to advise 1:30:54.120 --> 1:30:56.200 other people about this. If I had spent a year 1:30:56.320 --> 1:31:00.320 or two either working, we're serving, whether that's uh, serving 1:31:00.320 --> 1:31:04.839 your country in the military, serving as a missionary abroad, 1:31:04.880 --> 1:31:07.200 I mean, you know, or just a job where you 1:31:07.200 --> 1:31:09.160 have to show up, you get paid an amount of money, 1:31:09.200 --> 1:31:10.960 and then you start to see what that's like. I 1:31:10.960 --> 1:31:12.960 would have approached college a little differently. It took me 1:31:12.960 --> 1:31:15.639 about two years before I decided, wait a second, this 1:31:15.720 --> 1:31:17.880 is a finite and I have the opportunity to learn 1:31:17.920 --> 1:31:19.479 a lot and do a lot here, and I was 1:31:19.840 --> 1:31:22.160 honestly taking it more seriously than a vast majority of 1:31:22.160 --> 1:31:25.160 my peers. I think that that's good advice for people. 1:31:25.240 --> 1:31:27.280 And I remember there was a story about a guy 1:31:27.320 --> 1:31:29.439 a couple of years below me who was one of 1:31:29.479 --> 1:31:30.840 these kids who just showed up and just all he 1:31:30.880 --> 1:31:32.879 was doing was drinking, Matt, right, which is not unusual. 1:31:32.920 --> 1:31:34.000 There are a lot of people that go to these 1:31:34.040 --> 1:31:36.280 colleges and it's just drinking and party, and that's what 1:31:36.360 --> 1:31:39.200 they think college is. He actually failed out and his 1:31:39.320 --> 1:31:44.000 dad made him work as a toll collector. Completely honorable job, 1:31:44.080 --> 1:31:47.640 but you know, not necessarily the most stimulating of professions. 1:31:47.960 --> 1:31:50.400 As a told both collector in New Jersey for a 1:31:50.520 --> 1:31:52.639 year before he would let him go back to school 1:31:52.640 --> 1:31:54.519 and help him pay for it. And apparently the kid 1:31:54.560 --> 1:31:56.800 came back a changed human being when it came to 1:31:56.840 --> 1:32:01.120 school work. Yeah, I think that's a girl. I wish 1:32:01.160 --> 1:32:04.479 that every if only every you know, eight nine general 1:32:04.520 --> 1:32:06.559 had had a parent like that, a dad like that. 1:32:06.960 --> 1:32:09.519 But I think that, uh, you know, we talked about 1:32:09.520 --> 1:32:12.280 the college experience, and that's one of the arguments I 1:32:12.360 --> 1:32:14.280 hear in favor of just sending the kids in college 1:32:14.320 --> 1:32:16.240 no matter what is Well, it's for the it's for 1:32:16.320 --> 1:32:19.120 the experience. It's a great experience. I think the college 1:32:19.120 --> 1:32:21.240 experience is one of the worst things about college right 1:32:21.240 --> 1:32:24.400 now for in most cases, um and it's and I 1:32:24.400 --> 1:32:25.880 think for a lot of kids that's not going to 1:32:25.960 --> 1:32:28.880 be a formative experience that that teaches them about life 1:32:28.920 --> 1:32:31.360 and helps them grow. And I think for something ken, 1:32:31.400 --> 1:32:34.439 but I think they're in the minority. More likely is yeah, 1:32:34.520 --> 1:32:37.280 someone goes and they're told collector, or they work a 1:32:37.400 --> 1:32:39.080 low wage job, or they do whatever, you know, as 1:32:39.080 --> 1:32:41.519 long as they're working and paying and taking care of themselves. 1:32:41.520 --> 1:32:44.719 In a big advocate for that, Um, when you're eighteen 1:32:44.760 --> 1:32:46.240 years old, just get out there in the world and 1:32:46.320 --> 1:32:48.439 learn to take care of yourself a little bit. That's 1:32:48.520 --> 1:32:51.840 that's how you grow and learn about yourself and learn 1:32:51.880 --> 1:32:54.479 what your talents are, your skills are, your passions are, 1:32:54.560 --> 1:32:57.679 what your vocation is. Because the vast majority of eighteen 1:32:57.680 --> 1:32:59.080 your kids that come out of high school and they 1:32:59.120 --> 1:33:00.760 have no idea about that. I didn't know about it 1:33:00.760 --> 1:33:02.479 either when I when I graduated at school, I didn't 1:33:02.479 --> 1:33:03.719 know what I was good at, what I was supposed 1:33:03.720 --> 1:33:06.519 to be doing, because unfortunately, the public school education system 1:33:06.760 --> 1:33:09.960 doesn't really the most kids, doesn't really help you sort 1:33:10.000 --> 1:33:11.640 that out, and they don't help you discover who you 1:33:11.680 --> 1:33:14.439 are because it's all about just just shuffling kids along 1:33:14.479 --> 1:33:17.960 this conveyor belt like system. So I think they need 1:33:17.960 --> 1:33:20.719 to get out there in the world and and and 1:33:20.720 --> 1:33:22.800 and figure it out. And then the great thing is 1:33:22.800 --> 1:33:24.360 that if they decided I need to go to college, 1:33:24.479 --> 1:33:27.200 they're gonna go in as a not only as a 1:33:27.280 --> 1:33:29.880 more mature person, but they'll have a little bit of 1:33:29.880 --> 1:33:31.360 experience under the belt to have a little bit of 1:33:31.400 --> 1:33:33.360 a resume already, and they'll have a little bit of 1:33:33.360 --> 1:33:35.120 money too that they can go into college with, so 1:33:35.120 --> 1:33:37.000 they're not going in broke. I just think this is 1:33:37.040 --> 1:33:39.400 obviously the best way to approach it, and I think 1:33:40.400 --> 1:33:42.879 I think what happens is that you have some parents 1:33:43.160 --> 1:33:45.799 who do not want their kids to do that, because 1:33:45.920 --> 1:33:47.120 I know it's not the case for all of them, 1:33:47.120 --> 1:33:49.360 but there are some parents who, even though this is 1:33:49.439 --> 1:33:52.599 clearly the best approach, there's some parents who don't want 1:33:52.640 --> 1:33:56.680 that because they're definitely afraid that their kid will go 1:33:56.720 --> 1:33:58.519 out into the world and then discovered they don't want 1:33:58.520 --> 1:34:00.800 to go to college at all, and now the parent 1:34:01.000 --> 1:34:02.800 is going to be embarrassed that they have a kid 1:34:02.840 --> 1:34:05.000 that didn't go to college. And so for some parents 1:34:05.040 --> 1:34:07.439 it's kind of a vanity thing where they want their 1:34:07.520 --> 1:34:09.640 kids in college, not so much for the kid, but 1:34:09.680 --> 1:34:12.280 for themselves. I think that's a very profound insight, by 1:34:12.320 --> 1:34:15.240 the way, because Matt Matt, there's a lot of social 1:34:15.280 --> 1:34:18.479 pressure on parents to make sure and you'll even hear 1:34:18.520 --> 1:34:20.559 the stories, right, the first in my family to go 1:34:20.600 --> 1:34:22.519 to college. That's a great that's all well and good, 1:34:22.560 --> 1:34:24.720 but it's something that that the parents feel very good 1:34:24.760 --> 1:34:27.120 about and you know, maybe it's a good idea. Maybe 1:34:27.160 --> 1:34:31.160 it's not to go to college. Yeah. Yeah, And and look, 1:34:31.200 --> 1:34:33.040 we all have desires and things for our kids, and 1:34:33.080 --> 1:34:34.560 we all want our kids to be educated, and a 1:34:34.600 --> 1:34:36.920 lot of parents really want that formal education something really 1:34:36.920 --> 1:34:38.800 important to them. And I'm not downplaying that at all. 1:34:38.800 --> 1:34:41.120 I think it's a it's a fine goal for your kid, 1:34:41.200 --> 1:34:43.519 but um, at the end of the day, they're eighteen 1:34:43.560 --> 1:34:46.280 years older, an adult, and this has to be what's 1:34:46.320 --> 1:34:47.760 best for them and what they want to do it 1:34:48.000 --> 1:34:51.479 to some extent, and so there is that. There's you know, 1:34:51.520 --> 1:34:53.719 the social pressure that the kids feel in high school, 1:34:53.720 --> 1:34:57.160 except that I experienced where it's like they don't treat 1:34:57.320 --> 1:34:58.680 at least high school I went to it. I think 1:34:58.680 --> 1:35:01.960 this is pretty common. They basically tell you you're going 1:35:02.000 --> 1:35:05.719 to college. Second option is the military. That that's okay. 1:35:05.800 --> 1:35:08.920 Maybe outside of that, it's like there's no other option. Yeah, 1:35:08.920 --> 1:35:11.320 you're like a space alien, like the guidance counselor doesn't 1:35:11.320 --> 1:35:13.160 even want to see you. Yeah, that same thing in 1:35:13.280 --> 1:35:15.920 my school. Matt Walsh, everybody check out his latest at 1:35:15.960 --> 1:35:17.760 daily wire dot com. He's also got a piece we 1:35:17.760 --> 1:35:20.040 didn't have time to get here today. But it's the 1:35:20.080 --> 1:35:22.759 folks who were vagina hats and call us tea baggers 1:35:22.800 --> 1:35:26.240 are offended by Trump's vulgarity. Uh, excellent stuff there, go 1:35:26.320 --> 1:35:28.320 check it out a Daily wire dot com. Matt, have 1:35:28.360 --> 1:35:32.240 a great weekend, sir, Thank you, Thanks for sure. Then 1:35:32.280 --> 1:35:34.599 we're gonna roll into a quick break and we come back. 1:35:34.640 --> 1:35:38.840 I'm gonna talk to you about keeping one's dignity on 1:35:38.880 --> 1:35:42.719 a date, a little bit of free freedom hunt advice 1:35:42.840 --> 1:35:45.439 on a Friday, based on a story out of Dallas 1:35:45.479 --> 1:35:48.040 that I saw. We will talk about that. Uh, any 1:35:48.120 --> 1:35:51.400 last minute calls, let me no. Eight four four to 1:35:51.600 --> 1:35:55.439 five eight four four nine buck. I'll be back with 1:35:55.479 --> 1:35:59.320 you in just a few minutes. You know, it's funny. 1:35:59.360 --> 1:36:02.920 I was talking to a colleague of mine today and 1:36:03.000 --> 1:36:09.160 we were discussing how sometimes a a business negotiation, you know, 1:36:09.360 --> 1:36:12.200 or a first business meeting. He was telling me a 1:36:12.240 --> 1:36:14.879 story and I said, you know, it kind of sounds 1:36:14.960 --> 1:36:19.400 like a first date. You know, you want to be 1:36:19.560 --> 1:36:22.880 clear about what you want but not too eager, and 1:36:23.120 --> 1:36:27.679 you want to be interested but not too interested, And 1:36:27.880 --> 1:36:29.760 you know, you want to allow the other person to 1:36:29.840 --> 1:36:32.120 meet you halfway, and you know, there's sort of a 1:36:32.160 --> 1:36:36.599 similarity between the rhythm of being on a first date 1:36:36.720 --> 1:36:41.160 and the rhythm of a business negotiation, where you're not 1:36:41.240 --> 1:36:43.200 sure the deal is going to get done or not, 1:36:43.400 --> 1:36:46.280 or you're not sure you're gonna get what you want, 1:36:46.520 --> 1:36:50.000 and reminded me of how as somebody here in New 1:36:50.080 --> 1:36:52.920 York City, we we get married a lot later than 1:36:52.960 --> 1:36:55.760 folks in the rest of the country. Uh, I know, 1:36:55.840 --> 1:36:58.160 I'm working on it. Everybody, don't worry, it's it's happening. 1:36:59.120 --> 1:37:02.040 But we get married I think an average, and on average, 1:37:02.080 --> 1:37:05.240 like twenty eight or twenty nine here is pretty standard 1:37:05.280 --> 1:37:08.360 for New York City. And so that means that most 1:37:08.360 --> 1:37:10.880 folks have gone on a lot of a lot of 1:37:10.920 --> 1:37:14.920 first dates. And I've maybe one day I'll sit around 1:37:15.000 --> 1:37:17.679 on a Friday evening with some of you and tell 1:37:17.720 --> 1:37:21.280 you my funniest or perhaps most embarrassing or well, I 1:37:21.320 --> 1:37:24.640 guess it would be both first date stories. Mine are 1:37:24.680 --> 1:37:28.599 not amazing. I mean, I do remember once, many years ago, 1:37:28.800 --> 1:37:31.640 being on a date with a woman who told me 1:37:31.680 --> 1:37:35.120 on the first date that she writes a blog about 1:37:35.160 --> 1:37:37.920 all of the dates that she goes on, and that 1:37:38.040 --> 1:37:41.000 was the only and I was respectful about it. And 1:37:41.120 --> 1:37:44.280 I wasn't brusk or or rude or anything, but that 1:37:44.360 --> 1:37:46.400 was the only date that I did not see through 1:37:46.439 --> 1:37:48.479 to the end. I was like, I'm this is not 1:37:48.520 --> 1:37:52.280 gonna work for me. This whole this, everything I say 1:37:52.320 --> 1:37:54.640 to you may end up on a blog. I'm not 1:37:54.960 --> 1:37:57.519 I'm not signing on for that. So we were just 1:37:57.560 --> 1:38:00.479 having coffee and I finished my coffee and went on 1:38:00.720 --> 1:38:06.160 my way. But you also have that that circumstance of 1:38:06.880 --> 1:38:10.040 you know, if it doesn't go your way, things don't 1:38:10.040 --> 1:38:12.320 turn out the way you like. You always have to 1:38:12.360 --> 1:38:17.639 remember that dignity is the one thing that nobody can 1:38:17.680 --> 1:38:20.720 take from you but yourself. You know, it doesn't matter 1:38:20.800 --> 1:38:24.000 what happens. Someone else can be mean, they can be demeaning, 1:38:24.000 --> 1:38:27.400 they can be rude, they can be you know, crazy, whatever, 1:38:27.920 --> 1:38:30.519 But if you you choose whether or not on a 1:38:30.600 --> 1:38:33.519 date to maintain your dignity, which is also one of 1:38:33.560 --> 1:38:36.320 the reasons why as much as and I'm going to 1:38:36.400 --> 1:38:38.519 admit now that I watch used to watch a Bravo 1:38:38.560 --> 1:38:41.160 show called The Millionaire Matchmaker. I know, I know, make 1:38:41.160 --> 1:38:43.479 fun of I deserve it. I deserve it. Laid on. 1:38:43.600 --> 1:38:46.439 You can send me the Facebook messages right now, you're like, bluck, 1:38:46.479 --> 1:38:50.559 your man card has been revoked. But you know, sometimes 1:38:50.560 --> 1:38:53.759 it was entertaining. But there was this woman on it, Patty, 1:38:53.880 --> 1:38:56.879 who was the host, and she would always say, only 1:38:57.040 --> 1:39:03.200 two drinks aloud, okay, and and that was the limit. 1:39:03.240 --> 1:39:06.559 For women who were at this mixer with were vice 1:39:06.640 --> 1:39:09.559 versa for men to to drinks. That's it. It is 1:39:09.600 --> 1:39:13.200 a very good rule for a first date because the 1:39:13.280 --> 1:39:16.920 one time when you might find yourself not acting with 1:39:16.960 --> 1:39:19.599 the or the likeliest time for you to not act 1:39:19.640 --> 1:39:22.679 with the most dignity. I don't know, probably a pretty 1:39:22.720 --> 1:39:24.880 small percentage of those listening to this show right now 1:39:24.920 --> 1:39:27.960 are single, but I don't know, maybe it's about twenty 1:39:28.320 --> 1:39:31.439 of you. And but the one thing is, if you 1:39:31.479 --> 1:39:34.920 get really drunk, dignity becomes a little tougher to hold 1:39:34.960 --> 1:39:37.280 onto if things don't go your way, meaning you know, 1:39:37.360 --> 1:39:39.240 you feel like this has been a bad date, and 1:39:39.840 --> 1:39:42.680 you know you're you're you wanna you wish it had 1:39:42.720 --> 1:39:45.599 gone better, and then you have to make that decision 1:39:45.600 --> 1:39:47.840 about Okay, I'm just gonna go home and shake hands 1:39:47.880 --> 1:39:51.720 and be very respectful and dignified and not you know, 1:39:51.880 --> 1:39:56.400 throw a tantrum, not you know, say anything snide on 1:39:56.640 --> 1:39:59.519 you know, not just try to you know, to take 1:39:59.560 --> 1:40:01.640 a few pot shots on your way out, you know 1:40:01.720 --> 1:40:03.840 from the date. You know, that's that's you have a 1:40:03.840 --> 1:40:06.600 few drinks. It's more like it happened. Well, we have 1:40:06.840 --> 1:40:12.640 quite a good example of what allegedly can happen if 1:40:12.640 --> 1:40:15.240 you have too much to drink and you don't decide 1:40:15.280 --> 1:40:18.479 to hang on to uh, dignity for very long. A 1:40:18.560 --> 1:40:23.519 woman back in December was on a date in Dallas 1:40:24.400 --> 1:40:30.160 and she she was apparently allegedly very intoxicated, and the 1:40:30.240 --> 1:40:32.160 guy she was on the date with brought her home 1:40:33.240 --> 1:40:38.320 and she quote shattered to twenty thou dollar sculptures and 1:40:38.400 --> 1:40:43.360 poured wine on paintings, including two Andy Warhol works, each 1:40:43.439 --> 1:40:48.360 valued at five hundred thousand dollars. She she allegedly did 1:40:48.479 --> 1:40:53.160 three hundred thousand dollars of damage to this guy's artwork 1:40:53.600 --> 1:40:58.760 on a first date because she was drunk. And now 1:40:58.800 --> 1:41:02.080 she faces really you know, this actually gets serious, because 1:41:02.120 --> 1:41:05.880 she faces really serious criminal charges because of it. And 1:41:06.000 --> 1:41:08.479 it's just a reminder, you know, dignity is one of 1:41:08.479 --> 1:41:11.280 those things where you are the only person who can 1:41:11.280 --> 1:41:14.200 safeguard it. But the great thing is no one can 1:41:14.200 --> 1:41:16.040 take it from you. You have to let it go. 1:41:16.840 --> 1:41:18.840 And if a date's going badly and you're a little 1:41:18.880 --> 1:41:21.400 too lit up, that's when you know. That's what all 1:41:21.439 --> 1:41:23.640 of a sudden, as a guy, you say, you know, 1:41:24.280 --> 1:41:26.760 you know it's wanna start talking about my exes. You 1:41:26.800 --> 1:41:29.040 know my ex girlfriend left me because no, no, no, 1:41:29.439 --> 1:41:31.800 hold onto your dignity. This day didn't go well, don't 1:41:31.840 --> 1:41:34.160 you You know, I'm just wondering, you know, why don't 1:41:34.320 --> 1:41:37.519 why don't you why don't you like me more? I mean, 1:41:37.600 --> 1:41:39.280 you know, I don't think you want to go out again? 1:41:39.439 --> 1:41:42.480 You know, no, no, no, no, hold on to that dignity. 1:41:42.600 --> 1:41:44.519 And for the ladies out there, you don't want to 1:41:44.520 --> 1:41:46.599 be in a position where you've had like seven glasses 1:41:46.600 --> 1:41:49.040 of Chardon and you're like, oh that then Andy Warhol 1:41:49.160 --> 1:41:53.120 painting whoop thing drug a little bit white on it? 1:41:53.240 --> 1:41:59.479 Too bad? Stinks for you, ifter not fun on the date. Man, 1:42:00.640 --> 1:42:03.360 you don't want that either. That's bad, ladies, that's bad. 1:42:03.439 --> 1:42:05.639 So you don't want to be the guy who's why 1:42:05.640 --> 1:42:07.200 don't you like me more? And you don't want to 1:42:07.240 --> 1:42:10.240 be the girl who is falling over inner heels. I 1:42:10.240 --> 1:42:12.439 have to say I've seen that. Like, I'm sure it's 1:42:12.479 --> 1:42:14.920 hard to work in those walk in those heels. I've 1:42:14.920 --> 1:42:20.040 never tried before. Um, But you know, dignity very important, 1:42:20.120 --> 1:42:23.439 very important for all, um. And I just this woman 1:42:23.520 --> 1:42:26.560 who allegedly did three hundred thousand dollars of damage to 1:42:26.760 --> 1:42:29.160 artwork on a first date is a is a reminder 1:42:29.600 --> 1:42:32.439 to drinks max if you want to drink anything at all, 1:42:32.479 --> 1:42:35.400 by the way, which is a whole separate discussion, and 1:42:35.600 --> 1:42:39.360 uh yeah, try to We've all got to keep it together. 1:42:39.600 --> 1:42:42.320 We've all been there. We want to just tell somebody 1:42:42.320 --> 1:42:44.599 what we really think about them after that first date 1:42:44.680 --> 1:42:47.799 or whatever. But you know what, our mothers and fathers are, 1:42:47.800 --> 1:42:51.639 our grand pappies and grand mammies are, our families raised 1:42:51.720 --> 1:42:54.080 gentlemen and gentle ladies. And so we don't do that. 1:42:54.880 --> 1:42:57.160 I gotta gotta keep that dignity. All right. We're gonna 1:42:57.160 --> 1:42:59.320 get into some team buck roll call here in just 1:42:59.360 --> 1:43:02.559 a sex stay with me team.

It is absolutely freezing right 1:46:09.479 --> 1:46:11.640 now and the only thing getting me through is a 1:46:11.680 --> 1:46:15.240 heavy down jacket I got from Pearl Harbor because I 1:46:15.240 --> 1:46:18.400 couldn't find one in Korea. Has the sharp aligned hood 1:46:18.479 --> 1:46:21.960 has been a lifesaver. If only that global warming would 1:46:21.960 --> 1:46:24.920 start kicking in shields high well shield side of you, Pablo, 1:46:24.960 --> 1:46:28.360 and thank you for the update on uh cold weather 1:46:28.439 --> 1:46:34.560 coupture courtesy of Korea. Now. I got a note from Mary. 1:46:34.760 --> 1:46:37.400 I listened to your show every night. Last night I 1:46:37.439 --> 1:46:40.200 heard you talk about French women being against the women 1:46:40.320 --> 1:46:44.599 of America, bringing dirt against men. I don't understand how 1:46:44.640 --> 1:46:48.160 they can bring up things from thirty years ago, I'm 1:46:48.200 --> 1:46:51.920 angry that women climb over men this way. Well, Mary, 1:46:51.960 --> 1:46:55.360 you know I've been worried all along about false accusations. Look, 1:46:55.400 --> 1:46:58.839 guilty party should be punished. Sexual harassments illegal, and sexual 1:46:58.840 --> 1:47:03.559 assault is a crime. But innocent until proven guilty isn't 1:47:03.600 --> 1:47:06.240 just a legal standard. It should also be something of 1:47:06.280 --> 1:47:10.800 a guiding concept for UH society at large. Right, it 1:47:10.840 --> 1:47:15.120 shouldn't just be an accusation, you know, verdict first, trial later. 1:47:15.200 --> 1:47:18.160 That's not the way it's supposed to be, all right, 1:47:18.400 --> 1:47:22.240 And now we got one from Paul representing Team buck 1:47:22.280 --> 1:47:25.240 here with the following, Any chance you could do a 1:47:25.360 --> 1:47:29.639 debate with a liberal on your show, border Wall, Russia, collusion, 1:47:29.760 --> 1:47:32.560 or any other topic that would entertain us would be 1:47:32.680 --> 1:47:35.840 nice to hear how you compose yourself and separate from 1:47:36.400 --> 1:47:39.800 how stupid they sound and are. Thanks for your book 1:47:39.840 --> 1:47:42.439 list that you answered on air. Bought them all. Wishing 1:47:42.479 --> 1:47:46.599 you and your team a great start to your year. Paul, Well, Paul, 1:47:47.680 --> 1:47:49.360 you know I would be happy to have a liberal 1:47:49.400 --> 1:47:52.400 on to discuss on this show any topic that would 1:47:52.400 --> 1:47:55.880 be of interest to this audience. I just have a 1:47:55.920 --> 1:48:01.720 hesitation because radio the moment that radio becomes too contentious. 1:48:02.439 --> 1:48:05.080 It's just a shouting match with nothing else. It's not 1:48:05.160 --> 1:48:08.439 even like on TV, where what they call cross talk 1:48:08.800 --> 1:48:12.080 is frustrating, but at least you can see something. On radio, 1:48:12.120 --> 1:48:16.040 it just turns into a garbled mess. And really the 1:48:16.320 --> 1:48:20.280 host always has the the upper hand, which is why 1:48:20.360 --> 1:48:22.960 some of these radio shows really love it when someone 1:48:23.000 --> 1:48:24.880 calls in so they can go, yeah, it should up 1:48:24.880 --> 1:48:27.360 and they hang up on the guy or whatever, because 1:48:27.439 --> 1:48:30.120 you get to control the pace and the duration of 1:48:30.200 --> 1:48:34.040 the exchange, which is also why, for example, at CNN 1:48:34.160 --> 1:48:37.520 or some of the left wing media, left wing news outlets, 1:48:37.800 --> 1:48:40.360 I would say, conservatives already a huge disadvantage. The deck 1:48:40.479 --> 1:48:43.080 is literally, well not literally, but the deck is actually 1:48:43.160 --> 1:48:46.439 stacked against them. So I would love too, but it 1:48:46.439 --> 1:48:48.519 would need to be a very particular kind of liberal, 1:48:48.640 --> 1:48:50.599 and I would need to trust that the liberal would 1:48:50.600 --> 1:48:54.560 want to exchange ideas and not get snide or nasty, 1:48:54.600 --> 1:48:57.680 because I really make a point on this show to 1:48:58.400 --> 1:49:03.600 avoid being to avoid being a jerk. I'm always disappointed 1:49:03.640 --> 1:49:08.240 there are some other hosts out there who are not nice, 1:49:08.600 --> 1:49:12.000 and they're they're unkind to callers without reason. Not many, 1:49:12.040 --> 1:49:13.559 I'm just there are a few that come to mind, 1:49:14.200 --> 1:49:16.639 or they're just particularly nasty. They like to make fun 1:49:16.680 --> 1:49:19.960 of people's appearances a lot, things like that. I just 1:49:20.040 --> 1:49:23.400 never understand that. I think that's really that's not what 1:49:23.479 --> 1:49:27.080 this should be about, and you know, calling people stupid 1:49:27.120 --> 1:49:28.880 and things like that. I try to avoid that. I'm 1:49:28.920 --> 1:49:32.600 not perfect, but I try to avoid all that unnecessary 1:49:32.680 --> 1:49:35.680 negativity as much as possible. So debates, I'm open to it, 1:49:35.720 --> 1:49:38.000 but it's it's tough on radio. I'll be honest with you, 1:49:39.200 --> 1:49:41.599 and I will just tell you that I'm somebody who 1:49:41.640 --> 1:49:44.960 has come up against this already in my career. They 1:49:44.960 --> 1:49:46.800 won't have me on the Bill mar Show because I'm 1:49:47.360 --> 1:49:51.599 uh to adept a debater, and there are concerns about 1:49:51.640 --> 1:49:53.080 how the rest of the panel will be able to 1:49:53.080 --> 1:49:55.479 handle me. And that's been true in other places too. 1:49:55.600 --> 1:49:57.839 That never had me on Anderson Cooper Show on CNN, 1:49:57.880 --> 1:50:00.519 would never have me on Jake Tapper Show on CNN. 1:50:00.560 --> 1:50:02.920 They could only let me do Don Lemon Show, which 1:50:02.960 --> 1:50:05.840 just turns into a food fight and yelling and nastiness 1:50:05.840 --> 1:50:07.639 and as a joke, as you've seen the last couple 1:50:07.640 --> 1:50:10.719 of days. Because they don't want to put a prize 1:50:10.720 --> 1:50:12.960 fighter in the ring with little old me and have 1:50:13.080 --> 1:50:16.320 that prize fighter get knocked out. So that's always been 1:50:16.320 --> 1:50:19.599 a limitation for me, because I'll debate anybody. I mean, 1:50:19.600 --> 1:50:22.120 the last time they have me on MSNBC was six 1:50:22.200 --> 1:50:25.040 years ago, maybe yes, six years ago, very early in 1:50:25.120 --> 1:50:27.719 my career. And it's because while I was still getting 1:50:27.800 --> 1:50:31.160 used to media on the merits, I smoked the person 1:50:31.240 --> 1:50:32.880 that I was supposed to debate, who was one of 1:50:32.920 --> 1:50:38.719 their prized on air pundits. So it's it's it's never 1:50:38.960 --> 1:50:41.280 as easy and straightforward as it seems to to get 1:50:41.320 --> 1:50:44.920 people to have a real robust conversation, all right, And now, 1:50:44.920 --> 1:50:46.400 as you can see, I have a lot of thoughts 1:50:46.400 --> 1:50:49.080 on that. Uh it's it's a frustration of mine in 1:50:49.120 --> 1:50:52.519 two ways. I'd like to have more debates with honest 1:50:52.760 --> 1:50:57.080 and and uh reasonable intellectuals of the left. And also 1:50:57.160 --> 1:50:59.880 I think it's very indicative of how the left places 1:50:59.880 --> 1:51:01.840 they game that. I mean, I know for a fact 1:51:01.920 --> 1:51:06.800 that I've been barred from some invitations in media or banned, 1:51:06.840 --> 1:51:09.680 if you will, from some shows just because I'm I 1:51:09.720 --> 1:51:11.759 don't know what else to say, I'm too smart for 1:51:12.040 --> 1:51:15.000 the panel or the host. That's just the truth. I know. 1:51:15.080 --> 1:51:17.680 The producers that work on these different shows, and in 1:51:17.720 --> 1:51:20.559 a debate setting, they are worried about me, and they 1:51:20.560 --> 1:51:23.800 should be because they would get Buck slapped. All right, 1:51:23.880 --> 1:51:27.600 now we have Susan writing in, Hey Buck, I'm not 1:51:27.760 --> 1:51:31.400 oss original Saturday Squad, but I've been listening to you 1:51:31.439 --> 1:51:34.000 for over a year, and thanks to you, I watched 1:51:34.080 --> 1:51:37.680 less and less TV. I listened to you instead. I 1:51:37.760 --> 1:51:40.120 also happened to be Hungarian, and last night I was 1:51:40.240 --> 1:51:43.040 very glad to hear one of your callers mentioned the 1:51:43.040 --> 1:51:47.320 battle of nandor fa Harvar. I'm not gonna lie, I 1:51:47.320 --> 1:51:49.960 have no idea how to pronounce that, though he said 1:51:49.960 --> 1:51:54.320 the name of the Hungarian city sikest hair Var that 1:51:54.720 --> 1:51:58.120 I'm sorry, Guys, I'm much better with at least bumbling 1:51:58.200 --> 1:52:01.960 through German or even Arab names that I am with 1:52:01.960 --> 1:52:04.519 with Hungary, and this is way beyond me. That is 1:52:04.560 --> 1:52:06.800 also a very important city in our history. It used 1:52:06.800 --> 1:52:09.000 to be the capital of the Hungarian Kingdom in the 1:52:09.040 --> 1:52:11.960 early centuries. I send you some info on this battle 1:52:12.040 --> 1:52:15.240 and also recommend the story of the Siege of Agair. 1:52:15.360 --> 1:52:17.400 Thank you for your hard work. Have a great weekend, 1:52:17.479 --> 1:52:20.400 Shields high well, Susan it's a great honor that you 1:52:20.439 --> 1:52:23.960 listen to this show over watching TV. I thank you 1:52:24.040 --> 1:52:26.719 very much for that, and also thank you for sending 1:52:26.760 --> 1:52:31.559 me this information. I am familiar, at least in broad strokes, 1:52:31.960 --> 1:52:36.400 with the fact that the Eastern European states were the 1:52:36.400 --> 1:52:39.479 ones during the period of the High Ottoman Empire, the 1:52:39.520 --> 1:52:43.840 most powerful caliphate in history. They were on the front lines. 1:52:44.000 --> 1:52:46.760 They were the ones that were holding the line for 1:52:46.920 --> 1:52:52.639 Western civilization, Christianity, and Christendom against the conquest of Jihad. 1:52:53.120 --> 1:52:55.760 And that's going to be a major feature of the 1:52:55.760 --> 1:52:58.240 Shields High series when I get to it. We're gonna 1:52:58.280 --> 1:53:01.519 work through the Crusades first, because or at least the 1:53:01.560 --> 1:53:03.840 First Crusade, and then perhaps do a little bit more 1:53:03.880 --> 1:53:07.040 beyond that because there's so much there. But I can't 1:53:07.080 --> 1:53:12.400 skip from the eighth century to the or fifteenth century 1:53:12.400 --> 1:53:15.400 without putting some context in the middle there, and you 1:53:15.400 --> 1:53:17.920 can't skip the Crusades if you're talking about cross versus 1:53:18.000 --> 1:53:20.360 Crescent conflict. But we will get into some of those 1:53:20.400 --> 1:53:24.280 major Eastern European battles, and I will look into the 1:53:24.320 --> 1:53:26.560 Siege of Aga on some of these other ones that 1:53:26.600 --> 1:53:29.760 you have brought to my attention. All right with that, 1:53:30.040 --> 1:53:33.880 I am gonna close up shop here in the hut. 1:53:34.200 --> 1:53:36.360 By the way, check out buck sexton dot com. If 1:53:36.360 --> 1:53:38.599 you ever want to listen to the show there you can. 1:53:38.680 --> 1:53:40.400 We've got the live stream up there. We also have 1:53:40.479 --> 1:53:42.160 some T shirts there if you want to grab some 1:53:42.240 --> 1:53:45.519 Team Buck gear. MS. Molly's going away for a few 1:53:45.600 --> 1:53:47.960 days to do some work on the roads on to 1:53:48.040 --> 1:53:50.400 be solo this weekend, just me and my history books, 1:53:50.400 --> 1:53:54.320 but semi messages, and I'm excited to join you every 1:53:54.400 --> 1:53:57.519 day next week, no matter what comes our way, friends, 1:53:57.560 --> 1:53:59.680 no matter how rainy and bleak the weekend in New 1:53:59.720 --> 1:54:05.639 York's City, maybe I will have my shield high
