Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom hunt. President Trump lawyers up
Speaker 1: in a big way. Is he finally prepared for the
Speaker 1: final showdown with Robert Muller and his special counsel? Also,
Speaker 1: government jobs? Are they for all? A lot of people
Speaker 1: seem to think so. Kanye West is out there talking
Speaker 1: about all kinds of things we'll discuss. And the boy
Speaker 1: Scouts what is happening to that storied organization? That? Plus
Speaker 1: updates on the girl who wore a key pow to
Speaker 1: her prom in Utah. Some surprises. Therefore, you stay with me.
Speaker 1: This is the bus Sexton Show, where the mission or
Speaker 1: mission is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence,
Speaker 1: make no mistakes America Great, You're a great American. Again,
Speaker 1: the Buck Sexton Show begins. No, Welcome to the buck
Speaker 1: Sexton Show. Everybody. Great to have you here with me.
Speaker 1: I am deep behind swampy lines here in our nation's capital,
Speaker 1: the District of Columbia. It's great for the political access,
Speaker 1: but bad for the soul. That's how That's how I
Speaker 1: described being down here. I'm like, oh, is that Congressmen
Speaker 1: so and so I see across the street, see a
Speaker 1: whole bunch of lobbyists chasing after him. But no, it's
Speaker 1: certainly been interesting down here, and I'm looking forward to
Speaker 1: telling you more about the project than I am working
Speaker 1: on and what's coming your way. Those of you who
Speaker 1: have been giving me suggestions about things you would like
Speaker 1: the freedom how to expand to, I can tell you
Speaker 1: it is. It is happening, my friends. There'll be a
Speaker 1: lot more coming up, and I'm hopefully keeping you on
Speaker 1: the edge of your seat. Who gets the final rose
Speaker 1: We'll tell you right after this break. But I can't
Speaker 1: pull that off quite the same way. Uh. Trump lawyers understands. Uh,
Speaker 1: he understands right now that this is a bar room
Speaker 1: brawl with high priced lawyers in the middle of it.
Speaker 1: That's what's going on. They're trying to take down this president.
Speaker 1: And that's why the release of these questions, I think
Speaker 1: was so interesting, was so important for everyone to see
Speaker 1: that this is not narrowly tailored. In fact, I saw
Speaker 1: earlier today a a former Whitewater prosecutor saying that given
Speaker 1: just the questions that are out there, assuming that the
Speaker 1: authenticity of them from from Muller, that you know he
Speaker 1: didn't give them, or at least we don't think he
Speaker 1: gave them, but that that those were in fact the
Speaker 1: questions he was planning to ask. It's a two day
Speaker 1: long process, twelve hours perhaps of questioning here, which reminds
Speaker 1: me of you know what friends of mine I had
Speaker 1: to go through with their security clearance process. Right, just
Speaker 1: questions and hours and hours and hours. They wear you down,
Speaker 1: try to see if you mess up. Let's just take
Speaker 1: a step back for one moment and all be quite clear.
Speaker 1: The President of the United States should not be put
Speaker 1: through this based on the flimsy, nonsense witch hunt rationale
Speaker 1: that we've been offered up to this point. It is
Speaker 1: just simply insane that this is where we are. It
Speaker 1: makes no sense for the president to have to suffer
Speaker 1: through all this garbage. And I really have had enough
Speaker 1: of it. But unfortunately we are in, as I said,
Speaker 1: a bar room brawl. And you can't be the guy
Speaker 1: in the corner who's like, excuse me, sorry, I do
Speaker 1: not think I would like to park take in this brawl.
Speaker 1: That guy gets hit with a pool queue, he's he's
Speaker 1: not going to be standing on two feet for very long. Right,
Speaker 1: you gotta square up and deal with what the other
Speaker 1: side is is doing to try to get you and
Speaker 1: that's where Trump is right now. Uh he I think
Speaker 1: also realizes that there is there's a little bit of
Speaker 1: a shift going on right now from the war of
Speaker 1: attrition between the Special Council and the Trump in the
Speaker 1: White House, right a war of attrition where it's just
Speaker 1: date and day out, whose narrative can damage the other
Speaker 1: side more? You know, Trump having to play a lot
Speaker 1: of defense going on, some offense too. But the idea
Speaker 1: of being that they can isolate the administration from its supporters,
Speaker 1: that Muller and the Special Council can prevent or can
Speaker 1: scare away top legal counsel from coming to Trump's defense.
Speaker 1: That if they just chip away at this administration date
Speaker 1: and day out, and they make it as hostile as
Speaker 1: possible for the president United States, that eventually it will
Speaker 1: it will crack. Eventually they will get their way. And
Speaker 1: I think that now what you see is a shift
Speaker 1: with the questions out there, there's an understanding that this
Speaker 1: is coming to a head at some point. I'm not
Speaker 1: saying it's going to be over, but there will be
Speaker 1: a you know, the the this will be the big
Speaker 1: battle and in act two of a three act play. Now,
Speaker 1: this is gonna be where victory or defeat is established.
Speaker 1: And that's why Trump now having a new lawyer on
Speaker 1: the team. I know, cob Ty Cobb is a stepping aside,
Speaker 1: says he's retiring, but he's now got the lawyer who was,
Speaker 1: who has been an impeachment lawyer in the past, so
Speaker 1: understands the game right Flood is his name. So that's
Speaker 1: a big change. That's a positive change. Rudy Giuliani and
Speaker 1: his team. I think that's good. Rudy understands this stuff
Speaker 1: really well. You know, he may you know as he
Speaker 1: lost a step. Is is he the best in the
Speaker 1: game right now? I can't tell you. I don't know. Know,
Speaker 1: it's a very specific thing. When you're you're not just
Speaker 1: looking for a great lawyer here for Trump. You are
Speaker 1: looking for a great lawyer who can handle the pressure
Speaker 1: of what's going on right now and also understands the
Speaker 1: stakes and what the other side is going to try
Speaker 1: to do. Um. So there there, I think their lines
Speaker 1: the plot right now you have the Trump administration, the
Speaker 1: President himself putting some good pieces around him too to fight.
Speaker 1: And then when I'm what I'm going for here with
Speaker 1: the moment that is approaching us is you're either gonna
Speaker 1: have Mueller coming forward some kind of a report, or
Speaker 1: you are going to have the destruction of the Russia
Speaker 1: collusion narrative in advance of that report. And I think
Speaker 1: that's really important. I think that we have come to
Speaker 1: the point. And I've seen some others advocating for this. Uh,
Speaker 1: our friend Kim Strassol from the Wall Street Journal has
Speaker 1: been doing great work on it, and there there are
Speaker 1: others two. But I've been saying it for a long time.
Speaker 1: It's time for Trump to go on offense, declassify it,
Speaker 1: take whatever measures you need to as the commander in
Speaker 1: chief to get the information out there about how we
Speaker 1: find ourselves at this point in time. There is a
Speaker 1: presidency at stake here. The opposition started out the anti
Speaker 1: Trump left pretended it was all about our you know,
Speaker 1: our our democracy and our institutions, and that was just
Speaker 1: all sanctimony. That was all a cover for the the
Speaker 1: venom in their hearts when it comes to this president
Speaker 1: and the agenda and and what they think could have been,
Speaker 1: what should have been, which was a Hillary presidency, what
Speaker 1: have been amazing. That's what they believe they were entitled to.
Speaker 1: They didn't get it. So they've wanted payback all along,
Speaker 1: and they've also wanted to derail the president. And now
Speaker 1: I think we're at the point where waiting is not
Speaker 1: to you know, the the attrition component of this that
Speaker 1: try to wait out the other side, it's not gonna
Speaker 1: be good enough. I think Trump should take everything he
Speaker 1: can and make it public. We should know who gave
Speaker 1: the dossier, to whom when they saw it, How did
Speaker 1: the FISA warrant get done? What surveillance people say, all
Speaker 1: the sources and methods, of sources and methods. Unless someone
Speaker 1: is really going to be an imminent danger from the
Speaker 1: disclosure of these sources and methods, Uh, it should be
Speaker 1: out there for the American people to know. Yeah. Just
Speaker 1: do is Carter Page losing sleep at night because people
Speaker 1: know that he was a subject of a FISI warrant?
Speaker 1: I don't think so. In fact, he likes to go
Speaker 1: on TV and talk about it. So there are a
Speaker 1: lot of games that are played here, a lot of
Speaker 1: games that are played by and in some cases the
Speaker 1: same people who may have in fact leaked information to
Speaker 1: hurt the president. You know, they're all about leak in
Speaker 1: the dossier, but they don't want transparency about how the
Speaker 1: dossier got leaked. I guess it's not really surprising, but
Speaker 1: this is this is now, and it's an all out war.
Speaker 1: It has been for a long time. But I don't
Speaker 1: think it's enough for the president beyond on defense. I
Speaker 1: know that he tweeted out today, quote what are they
Speaker 1: afraid of? Why so much redacting? Why such unequal justice?
Speaker 1: At some point I will have no choice but to
Speaker 1: use the powers granted to the presidency and get involved. Yes,
Speaker 1: do this. Some of the people are on the president
Speaker 1: have not served him well in this process. There never
Speaker 1: should have been a special counsel. It should not have been.
Speaker 1: It should not have happened. It wasn't necessary, it wasn't needed,
Speaker 1: it wasn't fair. But we have one because of these
Speaker 1: really odious characters Comy Patrick Fitzgerald now working with Comy,
Speaker 1: but you know he was a Scooter Livy Guy uh
Speaker 1: Sally Yates, Mueller. This is this is what we are
Speaker 1: seeing playing out right now, and Trump needs to make
Speaker 1: sure that those characters don't get their way, which would
Speaker 1: bring down this presidency. I mean, is this president being
Speaker 1: set up. We've got Jonathan Turley, one of the more
Speaker 1: prominent legal animals we've got, we got the dirsh and
Speaker 1: we got Turley talking about all the latest year. So
Speaker 1: we don't actually have them joining on the show. We've
Speaker 1: got some sound bites of them, but that's good enough
Speaker 1: for today. We'll get them another time. Dersh and I
Speaker 1: are I's gonna say we're buds. Technically we're not. He
Speaker 1: has probably no idea who I am, although we've met
Speaker 1: many times. Um, But we'll get him on the show
Speaker 1: at some point. Turley on whether Trump is being set
Speaker 1: up play clip too. I think there may be a
Speaker 1: set up here. Whenever you go into these things, you
Speaker 1: have to assume that it could be a perjury trap.
Speaker 1: So it doesn't mean you have to fall in it.
Speaker 1: I've done a lot of depositions that are a lot
Speaker 1: more complex than this. He has very good attorneys that
Speaker 1: will be there with him if he preps. If he
Speaker 1: prepares with those attorneys and listens to them, yes, I
Speaker 1: you could get through this. I also agree with them
Speaker 1: that the alternative is not particularly appealing. If he decides
Speaker 1: to bunker down, uh, then Mueller could hit him with
Speaker 1: a subpoena. Now he could challenge that in federal court,
Speaker 1: but I think he would lose. Now does he want
Speaker 1: that to be the media being generated going into the
Speaker 1: midterm elections. UM. That's a tough call to make and
Speaker 1: it will come at costs. Dersh Woz also way to
Speaker 1: in the dirsh on the subpoena play for I think
Speaker 1: we we're going is to a subpoena. I think right
Speaker 1: now the president's legal team should have no interest in
Speaker 1: answering these enormously broad questions voluntarily. They'll get the same
Speaker 1: broad questions artfully asked at a grand jury, but at
Speaker 1: least they'll be able to challenge a the entire process
Speaker 1: of subpoenaing the president. They'll lose on that, say they will.
Speaker 1: I think they will lose on that. I think they
Speaker 1: will win on some areas of questioning, for example, why
Speaker 1: did you fire? What was your motive? What was your reasoning?
Speaker 1: I don't think you can question presidential acts that are
Speaker 1: covered by Article too, but you can't get too intense.
Speaker 1: I don't think you can or motive. But I think
Speaker 1: what you can get to is what the president's most
Speaker 1: vulnerable on, and that is business dealings before he became president.
Speaker 1: No court is going to deny the grand jury the
Speaker 1: power to get to those questions. Of the irony is
Speaker 1: those questions that he has the best legal right to
Speaker 1: prevent are not the most important questions, whereas the ones
Speaker 1: he has no legal right to prevent are the most
Speaker 1: damaging questions. Let's just play this out for a second.
Speaker 1: Can you imagine what the country is like the day
Speaker 1: after Mueller, say, tries to Let's just go in the
Speaker 1: future little bit here. We'll take a scenario. Trump does
Speaker 1: speak to Muller and there are questions of which I
Speaker 1: think is a terrible idea. He shouldn't do it. He
Speaker 1: should fight it every step of the way. And I
Speaker 1: actually disagree with Earli there that you know, well, you
Speaker 1: can't just hunker down, no, no, hunkerd out best lawyers
Speaker 1: you can and also fight it in the court of
Speaker 1: public opinion as much as possible by making more information public.
Speaker 1: We need to know the real collusion, as we have
Speaker 1: already seen, was between Hillary, the Democrats, and the media
Speaker 1: and deep state elements in the intelligence apparatus and the
Speaker 1: FBI to stop Trump and then to take Trump down
Speaker 1: after they couldn't stop him. We know where the collusion was.
Speaker 1: We need more facts, more information about that. We need
Speaker 1: that to come out. That's the way that you can
Speaker 1: stop this nonsense from just grinding and grinding on and
Speaker 1: and stymying this presidency, which is the whole purpose of
Speaker 1: it anyway. But on the on the business dealings, think
Speaker 1: about what the country feels like the day after or
Speaker 1: the day of an indictment by the Special Council for
Speaker 1: Trump's statements about business dealing things that we don't care
Speaker 1: about that weren't even illegal and occurred before he was
Speaker 1: even running for president. How the thing, I mean, the
Speaker 1: the level of political tension will be off the charge.
Speaker 1: It will be nothing like we've seen in my lifetime,
Speaker 1: to be sure. And they're gonna try to take the
Speaker 1: president down on that. I think the answer is, by
Speaker 1: the way, yes, they're definitely going for impeachment, which is
Speaker 1: gonna be the whole push for the mid terms. They
Speaker 1: are saying elect Democrats will impeach this president. But if
Speaker 1: they try to go for criminal charges, it's gonna be pandemonium.
Speaker 1: I mean, I really do think it's gonna be dogs
Speaker 1: and cats living together, mass hysteria because it's just too much.
Speaker 1: People will not tolerate the swamp acting in quite that way.
Speaker 1: It's it's a bridge too far. Eight four to five.
Speaker 1: If you would like to chat, be great to hear
Speaker 1: from me. We've got our lines open, getting working hard
Speaker 1: here to get all of our tech up to speed
Speaker 1: in our mobile freedom hooked down here in d C. Eight.
Speaker 1: All right, we'll talk about Kanye. We'll talk about this
Speaker 1: government jobs study. I thought it was really interesting and
Speaker 1: a whole lot more some other random topics. I think
Speaker 1: you really enjoy so a pact show and stay with me.
Speaker 1: The release of these questions, um was a very aggressive act,
Speaker 1: and it's most likely someone who doesn't want the interview
Speaker 1: to occur. You don't poison a well that you intend
Speaker 1: to drink from, And that's what this was an effort
Speaker 1: to do, to show that the questions were broad to
Speaker 1: possibly justify a refusal by the president to sit down
Speaker 1: with Mueller. Otherwise, most of the questions, I'd say, we're
Speaker 1: highly predictable. If you were to sit down and write
Speaker 1: out the questions about three months after Mueller was appointed,
Speaker 1: most of these questions would be those questions. Yeah, the
Speaker 1: questions weren't really all that surprising. It's just the scope
Speaker 1: above them, right, how many there were and what they
Speaker 1: covered that I think gave a lot of folks a
Speaker 1: bit of a shock. Andy McCarthy has written a great
Speaker 1: piece here in National Review. I want to give you
Speaker 1: some of the highlights from it. Uh. First of all, he,
Speaker 1: like me, has been opposed to this whole special counsel
Speaker 1: all along. It's really an extension of a counterintelligence probe,
Speaker 1: which is not a criminal probe, at least predominantly not
Speaker 1: a criminal probe. And there has been no specific crime
Speaker 1: identified for this. And now this has just turned into
Speaker 1: lawfare against the President United States. That's what this is.
Speaker 1: Andy writes, that was all Buck speaking. Now I'm gonna
Speaker 1: take you to some of what and he writes here, Uh,
Speaker 1: I'm assuming the authenticity of the question questions that Special
Speaker 1: Counsel Robert Mueller reportedly wants to ask President Trump. The
Speaker 1: questions indicate that, after a year of his own investigation
Speaker 1: and two years of FBI investigation, the prosecutor lacks evidence
Speaker 1: of a crime, yet he seeks to probe the chief exactecutives, motives,
Speaker 1: and thought processes regarding exercises of presidential power that were lawful,
Speaker 1: regardless of one's view of their wisdom. If Bob Muhler
Speaker 1: wants that kind of control over the executive branch, he
Speaker 1: should run for president. Otherwise, he is an inferior executive
Speaker 1: official who has been given a limited license, ultimately by
Speaker 1: the chief executive to investigate crime. If he doesn't have
Speaker 1: an obvious crime, he has no business inventing one, much
Speaker 1: less probing his superior's judgment. He should stand down, end quote.
Speaker 1: And his PC here really is a tour to force.
Speaker 1: He just rips this whole thing apart, as he should.
Speaker 1: And I I obviously agree with him on this, but
Speaker 1: it is a travesty what is being allowed to occur here.
Speaker 1: Think about all the damage this is doing to you,
Speaker 1: my friends listening to this right now. Uh, this is
Speaker 1: not helpful to the economy. This is not helpful to
Speaker 1: your four oh one k to your savings of the
Speaker 1: strength of the dollar, to policies that affect policies from
Speaker 1: from trade agreements to immigration and national security. We have
Speaker 1: a presidency that's spending a lot, maybe even most of
Speaker 1: its energy dealing with the sore loser, underhanded gutter tactics
Speaker 1: of the Democrats using this Special Council probe to try
Speaker 1: and nullify the Trump presidency and This is why I'm
Speaker 1: saying it's it's more than just hunker down and wait
Speaker 1: for it to end. Trump going on offense. Totally agree.
Speaker 1: But he should take action too. He needs the best lawyers.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is where he needs to He needs
Speaker 1: to unleash the dogs of war, so to speak. I
Speaker 1: mean he needs to be ready to throw down. And
Speaker 1: I think Trump is. I think he's gotten a little
Speaker 1: bit of a wake up call in the last few
Speaker 1: days on this. We've got more uh, stay right there.
Speaker 1: He's holding the line for America. Buck sex in his
Speaker 1: back lines. Let teams, do you want to chat? Eight four,
Speaker 1: eight to five, Tom in Boston? What is that? My friend?
Speaker 1: But great show? Listen, thank you telling this deep state
Speaker 1: is real. We've got to get rid of this deep state.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you. They've been selecting our president for years.
Speaker 1: I don't know how Royal rigg again and that was
Speaker 1: a look. I think they selected Obama. Nobody ever heard
Speaker 1: of Obama. This this president we have now, President Trump.
Speaker 1: He's gonna go down as the greatest president we've ever
Speaker 1: had if they give him a chance. But the deep
Speaker 1: state doesn't want to give him a chance. They're trying
Speaker 1: to get rid of them. They got him boxed in
Speaker 1: right now with this whole investigation and Muller and all
Speaker 1: this stuff. I mean, this is crazy. They they're talking about.
Speaker 1: They're talking about putting dozens of questions to the President
Speaker 1: United States, for which there is still basically zero evidence
Speaker 1: of any kind to suggest the President was evolved in
Speaker 1: anything at all. You know, where does this end? Does
Speaker 1: the Special Counsel got to just keep asking questions for
Speaker 1: the next five years? Can you just keep going forever
Speaker 1: and ever? I mean, at some point there has to
Speaker 1: be good judgment used by the prosecutors involved in this,
Speaker 1: and all we've seen from them up to this point
Speaker 1: is that they're being tools of the deep state, willingly
Speaker 1: or not. Exactly. They have to charge him with something.
Speaker 1: I think think investing gave him charges. There's no charges
Speaker 1: got of it. I hope so too. But because I
Speaker 1: think there's gonna be some great things for the country. Tom,
Speaker 1: thank you for calling in. Look, it's not it's not
Speaker 1: a sure thing that the Trump presidency is gonna work out,
Speaker 1: work out great, folks. I know that there's a near
Speaker 1: I have to remind myself of this sometimes there there's
Speaker 1: this near miraculous quality to Trump's whole rise at this point.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that trumphis you know, is not that
Speaker 1: he's performing miracles. I don't worry. I don't think Trump
Speaker 1: is walking on water and you know, his his hair
Speaker 1: swoop is like a golden halo from the heavens or something.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying that it's been so surreal what he
Speaker 1: has been able to withstand up to this point. I
Speaker 1: think it's easy to start to think, well, Trump can
Speaker 1: handle anything. This guy has been He's been litigating with
Speaker 1: people his whole life. You know, he understands this game.
Speaker 1: He knows what he's doing. Problem with federal prosecutors is
Speaker 1: you you mess up once and you're done. It's not
Speaker 1: lived to fight another day. It's not you know, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna write a big check or I'm gonna you know,
Speaker 1: bankrupt that that company or scrap that deal. You know,
Speaker 1: if if you are facing federal criminal charges, if you're
Speaker 1: gonna be a convicted felon, I mean, it's never the
Speaker 1: same after that. It only has to happen once. And
Speaker 1: this is where discipline matters so much, I think for
Speaker 1: Trump in terms of messaging and in terms of his
Speaker 1: defense against all this, and I also think you should
Speaker 1: be doing a lot offense to Dean also up in Boston. Hello,
Speaker 1: my friend, what's up the buck? So this is what
Speaker 1: scares me to my roots in my house and my
Speaker 1: family and my neighbors and my cousins and everything. The
Speaker 1: people who are running a muck with un endless power,
Speaker 1: millions of done, no no actual budget, hundreds and hundreds
Speaker 1: of lawyers. Is these people are not elected. We have
Speaker 1: no say in these people. So they take off and
Speaker 1: they run wild. Then they have a cheering section of
Speaker 1: people that were elected that actually get to make laws
Speaker 1: that you and I have to follow or we pay
Speaker 1: a fine, lose rights or go to jail. But they don't.
Speaker 1: You just saw But did you see this, Sam? I
Speaker 1: mean a Dean. I meant to get to this earlier.
Speaker 1: The FBI guy who lead classified to the media and
Speaker 1: and lied about it, and you know so I think
Speaker 1: he was up from Minnesota, former FBI agent, no criminal charges.
Speaker 1: What would happen if you and I did it? Prison? Prison,
Speaker 1: and people will be going on TV saying that we
Speaker 1: got we we got what we deserved. That's what they'd
Speaker 1: be saying. It's crazy and what just bothers me is
Speaker 1: that I have the only recourse I have because I'm
Speaker 1: up in the People's Republic of Massachusetts, so I have
Speaker 1: the almighty right of the Messiah that you're really constitution
Speaker 1: more than anything, Elizabeth Warren and Ed Markey and the others,
Speaker 1: that you're really at swamp at swamp Site North. I
Speaker 1: think we could call it am I'm surprised on the
Speaker 1: phone with you. I don't have small arms fire in
Speaker 1: the background. I mean, it's it's crazy. Everybody, every Democrat, Republican, Independent,
Speaker 1: if you've never voted before, this should scare the hell
Speaker 1: out of you. If they can do it to the
Speaker 1: President and anybody else, they can do it to you. Yeah. Well,
Speaker 1: I think that this is where and thank you Jane
Speaker 1: for calling in. This is where the press is so
Speaker 1: complicit in in the the dishonesty that the Democrat party.
Speaker 1: You know, it's really interesting. I always think about this.
Speaker 1: I go back and forth on it. Do the Democrat
Speaker 1: does the Democrat political apparatus take its orders from the media,
Speaker 1: or does the media take its orders from the I
Speaker 1: could make a case either way. You know who who
Speaker 1: really has you know who has more power when push
Speaker 1: comes to shove Zucker or Pelosi. You know, uh, Anderson
Speaker 1: Cooper or Chuck Schumer. I mean, you know, you start
Speaker 1: to look at this. I don't know, it's a it's
Speaker 1: a tough call. Actually, you know who is a who
Speaker 1: is more important to the left? You know, Rachel Maddow
Speaker 1: or Debbie Wasserman schul Uh. The answer to that is
Speaker 1: Rachel Maddow. Actually, I don't think Debbie. I don't think
Speaker 1: Debbie's got quite the same wasta as they would say
Speaker 1: in the Mid East, as as she used to not
Speaker 1: not not quite the same cloud. Um. I love this.
Speaker 1: A lot of lines lit everybody, thank you gets me
Speaker 1: fired up when the team is is lightening up earlier.
Speaker 1: A lot of times, I know you guys wait till
Speaker 1: later on, because that's what I tend to take more calls.
Speaker 1: But you know, sometimes the first hour, I'm like, you
Speaker 1: know what I want to hear from the squad? Sam
Speaker 1: and Charlotte? What's up? Bug Buck? How's it going, Buday?
Speaker 1: You're a fan from Charlotte, North Carolina. Sam, let me
Speaker 1: let me ask you a couple of questions. Okay, so,
Speaker 1: so mother's got a nothing burger after a year, and
Speaker 1: how many months of the year in six months going
Speaker 1: on a year and a half now of just nothing,
Speaker 1: nothing burgers with cheese raw in the middle. Yeah. And
Speaker 1: so now he's gonna try to catch Trump in some
Speaker 1: type of inconsistency and in his question in a Q
Speaker 1: and A, is there anything, but please tell me there's
Speaker 1: something the American people can do. We thought if we
Speaker 1: went to the polls that we actually could do something.
Speaker 1: But we have Republicans up there that I guarantee you
Speaker 1: that they want Trump to crash and burn burn because
Speaker 1: he wants to drain the swamp. Oh. I think there
Speaker 1: are a lot of Republicans that are are trying to
Speaker 1: do as much as they can to stay out of there,
Speaker 1: like the guys that show up to the battle, but
Speaker 1: they stay on the outskirts of it because they don't
Speaker 1: want to actually get into where the where the actual dirty,
Speaker 1: nasty fighting is going on. So they're technically on Trump's team,
Speaker 1: But not that many are willing to roll up the
Speaker 1: sleeves and and throw some throw some left hooks, you know,
Speaker 1: not that many or are getting in there. And I
Speaker 1: know plenty of them that look like they're kind of
Speaker 1: looking for the exits already. Which is you know that
Speaker 1: they'd rather instead of being in this political fight in
Speaker 1: in the second part of Trump's first term, they want
Speaker 1: to go get a cushy job at a think tank somewhere,
Speaker 1: probably down the street from Ryan right now. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: they got they got weeks summons. But but listen, I
Speaker 1: wonder I wonder how many Democrats. I want absolutely nothing
Speaker 1: to happen to this country, but I wonder how many
Speaker 1: Democrats would suffer gravely if this thing with Trump plays
Speaker 1: out an impeachment and maybe even a conviction. And if
Speaker 1: they don't understand that. I think they do not understand
Speaker 1: the momentum that's there, and they're trying to distract it.
Speaker 1: So anyway, hey man, we appreciate everything that you do
Speaker 1: and keep it rolling. Thank you, Thank you, sir Sam.
Speaker 1: Great to talk to you, my French shields high Brent
Speaker 1: in New Mexico. We're covering much of the country here.
Speaker 1: What's up, Brent, hey buck shi'll tie man Sili, Well,
Speaker 1: I've been hearing, I hear about the deep state and everything,
Speaker 1: and I get you, but I feel like he's fighting
Speaker 1: with one arm tied behind his back because if you'll notice,
Speaker 1: he's the executive of the executive branch. He's not able
Speaker 1: to executive execute on DOCCA, He's not able to execute
Speaker 1: on immigrations through travel then and now he's fighting this
Speaker 1: as well. He's not able to do any of his
Speaker 1: authorities delegated to them by the Constitution. Man, they've got
Speaker 1: him seriously homestring hamstring into this, and I bet you'll
Speaker 1: see court cases coming against him. But he makes it
Speaker 1: deal with North Korea. What do you think, Oh, there's
Speaker 1: there's no question that the never Trump or the uh,
Speaker 1: the Yeah, I guess you call them never Trump judiciary
Speaker 1: is doing everything they can to stop the president, including
Speaker 1: issuing what are clearly fatuous, garbage decisions. But you have
Speaker 1: to go through the process, right, I mean, they're the
Speaker 1: Supreme Court is going to rule that Trump was right
Speaker 1: on the travel band. Think of how many people you've
Speaker 1: heard say, oh, my gosh, she's destroying the constitution and wrong.
Speaker 1: He's actually completely within his rights to do what he
Speaker 1: did as commander in chief. But they don't like him.
Speaker 1: They don't like his policies, and so they are willing
Speaker 1: to destroy the very institutions and checks and balances and
Speaker 1: separations of power and constitutional rights and prerogatives that are
Speaker 1: necessary for the sound functioning of this government. They're willing
Speaker 1: to destroy all of that as long as it takes
Speaker 1: down this president. It's it's truly remarkable. I mean, you
Speaker 1: do have to start wondering can Trump do anything without
Speaker 1: some official Now you got Mueller who wants to second
Speaker 1: guess him on firing Comy. He has an absolute right,
Speaker 1: as the commander in chief and as the senior most
Speaker 1: executive of the United States Government under Article two of
Speaker 1: the Constitution, to fire Comy because he didn't like what
Speaker 1: Comey said that morning at breakfast. Whatever it is. He
Speaker 1: can fire him because he doesn't like his socks. It's
Speaker 1: his right to fire him for whatever reason he sees fit.
Speaker 1: That Mueller is gonna try to get to Well, it
Speaker 1: was for corrupt reasons, you know, Mueller. Get real. It's
Speaker 1: complete and utter crap. But here we are, man, they're
Speaker 1: dragging the present through all this. Look, but look what
Speaker 1: they've got to offer in respond. What are they gonna say, Oh,
Speaker 1: you know, fascism didn't come to America. Oh. The stock
Speaker 1: markets actually holding pretty strong despite everything else, although I
Speaker 1: do think it's gonna have a big correction in a
Speaker 1: little while uh, you know, the economy is doing really well.
Speaker 1: Hiring is really good. By the way, the the latest
Speaker 1: from the tax cut is that a lot of it
Speaker 1: is capital capital investment and non in fact stock buybacks,
Speaker 1: which means the companies are expanding and hiring. It is
Speaker 1: working more so than anticipated the way that Trump and
Speaker 1: the proponents of that tax cut warranted to. So you
Speaker 1: got all these these things happen that matter, that are important,
Speaker 1: and they just want to talk about Stormy Daniels and
Speaker 1: Robert Muller. That's it. That's the only thing that matters
Speaker 1: to this country. These people, they have lost their minds,
Speaker 1: and they're really at your point about or the point
Speaker 1: that some of you are making about how it's gonna
Speaker 1: hurt them too. What do they think it's gonna do
Speaker 1: to the country. How do they think hiring in the
Speaker 1: stock market and our national security and our sense of
Speaker 1: of comedy as a relate as a nation. How do
Speaker 1: we think that that's all gonna hold up when Trump
Speaker 1: goes through all this? Yes, sir, here a man brand,
Speaker 1: go ahead, Well, why are you with my liberal friends?
Speaker 1: Obama was optioned. I don't have a problem with Obama personally.
Speaker 1: I don't like his policy, but I kept telling them
Speaker 1: over and over, you're not gonna like the president he
Speaker 1: says with his executive borders. You're not gonna like that
Speaker 1: when a Republicans in office. And I thought i'd be
Speaker 1: right on that, but turns out I'm wrong because they
Speaker 1: really have done it. And yeah, man Shield sigh, Brent,
Speaker 1: thank you for calling in from New Mexico. Uh, team,
Speaker 1: I want to talk to you about this. This study
Speaker 1: that's that's troubling, especially because I feel like right now
Speaker 1: I'm I'm closer closer to this than well some of
Speaker 1: your probably in the DC area. But a report, a
Speaker 1: poll out that says that almost half of Americans believe
Speaker 1: that there should be government guaranteed jobs for all. This
Speaker 1: is nuts and I will talk to you about what
Speaker 1: it means, but you gotta stay with me. San Francisco's
Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi has told the Boston Globe that she will
Speaker 1: run for Speaker of the House if the Democrats win
Speaker 1: a majority of seats in the mid term election. Pelosi,
Speaker 1: of course, the very first woman speaker in history. This
Speaker 1: may not be good news for Democrats. Republicans use Pelosi
Speaker 1: as a cudgel in their ads to convince people not
Speaker 1: to vote for Democrats, and they're not wrong. We might
Speaker 1: like Nancy Pelosi in the Bay Area, but America doesn't.
Speaker 1: Things that are more popular than Nancy Pelosi, according to
Speaker 1: an NBC Wall Street Journal poll, include the n r A,
Speaker 1: current speaker, Paul Ryan, even Donald Trump among all Americans.
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is he's big, so mean. She's a massi
Speaker 1: Messi's a master letgis la there Pelosi. Ah, it's great
Speaker 1: if she runs, it's great, it will be or not
Speaker 1: if you run, you know what I mean. If if
Speaker 1: we can make make it more about Pelosi, the better. Um,
Speaker 1: more about Pelosi, the better. Uh. So, I also want
Speaker 1: to tell you about this this pole, it's just a
Speaker 1: quick thing, was from ras mussin favor government guaranteed jobs
Speaker 1: for all. Uh. You know, this is the problem him.
Speaker 1: It's the problem with why we still have people who
Speaker 1: want to rehabilitate the history and and image of socialism
Speaker 1: even in this country, why the left embrace his redistribution.
Speaker 1: It's really tough to fight with free stuff, because first
Speaker 1: you have to convince people that there's no such thing
Speaker 1: as free stuff. And there's just a part of our
Speaker 1: brain that wants to think that that's not the case.
Speaker 1: That you know that that you can get things for free,
Speaker 1: that there's no cost associated with it, and having the
Speaker 1: government guaranteed jobs. I mean Bernie Sanders, that's right, baby,
Speaker 1: he's back, Bernie. I really that would be amazing. They
Speaker 1: should just go for They should rally behind the burn.
Speaker 1: Get Bernie Sanders and U Kamala Harris and that's the team.
Speaker 1: She should be the VEEP, and you know, at least
Speaker 1: they'll be an interesting election. Hopefully they don't put some
Speaker 1: I don't know, some boring bozo up there instead. At
Speaker 1: least with Bernie would have something to watch, something to
Speaker 1: be interested in. Be also interesting to see how many
Speaker 1: people left to talk about how Donald Trump doesn't know
Speaker 1: this or that policy. Try to square Bernie's numbers when
Speaker 1: it comes to the economy. You know, Bernie, how are
Speaker 1: you gonna how are you gonna pay for free college
Speaker 1: for everybody? Money from the stuff, from the things, you know,
Speaker 1: from the places, there's gonna be plenty of it. Boot,
Speaker 1: don't be don't be stingy. But Cassanders says that the
Speaker 1: federal government should have a program that guarantees all Americans
Speaker 1: a job with health insurance, and almost half the country
Speaker 1: now likes the idea is one thing wants the government
Speaker 1: take action on. This might be a slightly, it might
Speaker 1: be a different number. I would hope that it's a
Speaker 1: different number. Um. But we have to remember this, there
Speaker 1: is a very strong contingent still in this country that
Speaker 1: believes that greater government action despite everything that they see,
Speaker 1: despite the fact that you know, we just had tax
Speaker 1: season and we left to go to the d m
Speaker 1: V and we're all even now seeing kind of the
Speaker 1: unfortunate dirty kitchen of the deep state in the FBI
Speaker 1: and intelligence apparatus and elsewhere. Despite all that we see
Speaker 1: for government failure, it's still nice to think there's a
Speaker 1: comfort that people derive from the belief that the government
Speaker 1: can make their problems go away. The government's your friend.
Speaker 1: It wants to make you safe and warm at night.
Speaker 1: It wants to be your buddy. Just not true. I
Speaker 1: used to work for the government. It does some good things,
Speaker 1: it does a lot of things very poorly, and it
Speaker 1: tries to do a lot of things that it shouldn't
Speaker 1: be doing at all. You imagine what I go, what
Speaker 1: would that program even look like? We're just gonna pay
Speaker 1: more and more bureaucrats, more and more people to be
Speaker 1: on a self paced work schedule where the process. You know,
Speaker 1: I always say the process is the punishment. I've got
Speaker 1: a correlatory to that when it comes to government employment.
Speaker 1: For the most part, for the bureaucracy, ease processes the product.
Speaker 1: It's true, show up, do some stuff, go to some meetings.
Speaker 1: Are you changing anything? No, but paychecks there's just the same.
Speaker 1: But we do not want you do not want the
Speaker 1: government guaranteeing you a job that that much, I can
Speaker 1: assure you. We gotta talk about Kanye coming up. I'm
Speaker 1: in the process of helping to launch a really exciting
Speaker 1: media venture down here in DC team and we have
Speaker 1: all these jobs that we're trying to fill it. You
Speaker 1: know what our number one tool is, you know how
Speaker 1: we're getting all of the best resumes and in fact
Speaker 1: now getting and hiring the best candidates Zip recruiter dot com.
Speaker 1: That's right, I'm a zip recruiter user. I am using
Speaker 1: all of the different algorithms that they have in place
Speaker 1: and the interface to get the best possible candidates lined
Speaker 1: up in the queue. And now we're even interviewing and
Speaker 1: hiring using zip recruiter. It has been phenomenal. We've been
Speaker 1: getting top quality candidates. And that's no surprise because eighty
Speaker 1: percent of employers who post on zip recruiter at a
Speaker 1: quality candidate. And just one day, just like we did
Speaker 1: here with my new project, go to zip recruiter dot
Speaker 1: com slash buck try it out for free. That's zip
Speaker 1: recruiter dot com, slash buck. One more time, zip recruiter
Speaker 1: dot com, slash buck. Zip recruiter the smartest way to
Speaker 1: hide mission, decoding the news and disseminating information with actionable intelligence.
Speaker 1: Make no mistake American great. You're a great American again.
Speaker 1: This is the Buck Sexton Show, former CIA analysts. No
Speaker 1: people say feel free, but they don't really want us
Speaker 1: to feel free. I felt a freedom, and first of all,
Speaker 1: just doing something that everybody tells you not to do.
Speaker 1: For me to wear that hat means I wanna make
Speaker 1: America great in my own way. They're attacking me with
Speaker 1: these smoke screens that I'm not gonna fall forth. The
Speaker 1: mob tries to tell you what to think. The mob
Speaker 1: tries to make all blacks be Democrats for food staffs,
Speaker 1: and so it's the mob. By the way, you're just
Speaker 1: talking to the emotion. When you hear about slavery for
Speaker 1: four hundred years, for four hundred years, that sounds like
Speaker 1: a choice. He was there for four hundred years. It
Speaker 1: is all of y'all. It's like we're mentally imprisoned. Kanye
Speaker 1: getting a lot of attention, still set all kinds of stuff.
Speaker 1: Some of it I think a lot of conservatives standing
Speaker 1: around saying yeah, wow, very astute. Others require a bit
Speaker 1: more m a bit more of a of an explanation, perhaps,
Speaker 1: I don't know. Let's let's start with some of the
Speaker 1: earlier the earlier Kanye Kanye Kanye is uh earlier works. Uh.
Speaker 1: I can't say that I've ever really been a big
Speaker 1: fan of Kanye's music, and I do listen to some
Speaker 1: hip hop. I just it's not really the first thing
Speaker 1: that I ever heard him do. I think actually was
Speaker 1: uh to the wire. I think it was called about
Speaker 1: when he survived a car accident. But look, he's obviously
Speaker 1: a prolific, prolific hip hop artist and more of a
Speaker 1: cultural icon now that even just somebody who's in one
Speaker 1: genre of music. But he's saying things that are upsetting
Speaker 1: to two democrats, to be sure, and he's continued on
Speaker 1: with it. At first, it seemed like, well, maybe this
Speaker 1: is just people say it's a publicity stunt. By the way,
Speaker 1: isn't that kind of condescending though, he's just doing this
Speaker 1: for publicity? Why is it that we hear from so
Speaker 1: many I take a very realistic point of view on this.
Speaker 1: I've been telling you from the beginning. Don't uh, don't
Speaker 1: give don't don't don't give your heart too. That sounds
Speaker 1: a little too intense. But don't place any bets on
Speaker 1: Kanye's conversion to conservatism just yet, because a lot of
Speaker 1: these celebrities there is an impulse and unconservative to any
Speaker 1: time somebody who's a big celebrity says something even a
Speaker 1: little bit conservative. I think some years ago, where's the
Speaker 1: guy from the ranch? You know that he was married
Speaker 1: to me? More? Did he did the like the like
Speaker 1: gotcha show? Thank you? Ashton Kutcher some years ago he
Speaker 1: was like, you know, what's attractive being kind? Everyone's like,
Speaker 1: see he's really a conservative? Like no, I mean I
Speaker 1: don't know. Or some actor will say, you know, hard
Speaker 1: work is really important. Oh my gosh, he's a conservative. Well,
Speaker 1: well that's an important sentiment. I'm not sure we could
Speaker 1: call that person an ideological political conservative. Not quite um
Speaker 1: with Kanye, it seems like he's just being more of
Speaker 1: a of a free thinker and challenging some of the
Speaker 1: very entrenched orthodoxes that are out there. But I do
Speaker 1: like to put this into into a context as well.
Speaker 1: Kanye says this stuff, and you'll hear people say, oh,
Speaker 1: you always it's a it's a stunt. Some TMZ writer
Speaker 1: was saying, he's off his meds, and you know, there's
Speaker 1: just this immediate widespread effort among the Democrat left media
Speaker 1: to not just you know, they never say like, yeah,
Speaker 1: like let him have his say you know whatever, it's fine.
Speaker 1: Oh he's he's just doing it for attention. What about
Speaker 1: all these other actors that get up there and say
Speaker 1: dumb things all the time, We're supposed to listen to them.
Speaker 1: I hear people say things like, oh, you know, George
Speaker 1: Clooney should run for president based on what because he
Speaker 1: looks like a guy who might be cast as the
Speaker 1: President's not exactly a great exactly a great resume in
Speaker 1: and of itself. I mean, if that were the case,
Speaker 1: mid Romney would be president. Have you ever seen a
Speaker 1: guy like, Let's be honest, folks, have you ever seen
Speaker 1: a guy who looks more like he could be cast
Speaker 1: as the president in a in a movie with Harrison Ford?
Speaker 1: For example? Sorry, Mr President, I don't dance drack the
Speaker 1: old patoa Potomac two step. You're gonna keep this one
Speaker 1: in your back pocket. Remember that great scene in Clear
Speaker 1: and Present Danger. Uh. So you know, it's it's interesting
Speaker 1: to see what what the reaction is to Kanye as
Speaker 1: much as anything else. So like, I I take two
Speaker 1: points from this one. Don't fall in love with the
Speaker 1: first celebrities comments that seem like they might be a
Speaker 1: little bit on our side of the fence, because you're
Speaker 1: gonna get burned. And and also that's just not how
Speaker 1: we do things. And then too, notice how they just
Speaker 1: dismissed this guy, this uh, this African American icon not
Speaker 1: to you know, not even just in the in the
Speaker 1: music realm, but in pop culture in general. And he's
Speaker 1: not really allowed to have these he's not really allowed
Speaker 1: to have these views. They dismissed them. There're somehow not authentic,
Speaker 1: they're not really him. Ah. I I've I've heard some
Speaker 1: try to explain the the comment that he made that
Speaker 1: slavery was a choice. I'm not Kanye. I don't really
Speaker 1: know what he was saying. So I'm gonna I'm gonna
Speaker 1: leave that just because I don't really get. I don't
Speaker 1: really get what he was going forward with that. I mean, clearly,
Speaker 1: slavery was a system premised upon treating human beings as
Speaker 1: property and extreme violence and so not. I'm not, I don't.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying I don't get, you know, I don't.
Speaker 1: I'm not a great Kanye translator. I can't pretend to
Speaker 1: know what's going on with that. But he said some
Speaker 1: other things that certainly upset the Democrat left because you're
Speaker 1: not really supposed to say these things. If you are
Speaker 1: a prominent, wealthy and revered at least in a lot
Speaker 1: of circles Black American, you're not supposed to say some
Speaker 1: of these things. And that's what's getting Kanye so much
Speaker 1: attention right now. Play as sixteen, This reality has been
Speaker 1: forced upon us. It is a choice. Just like when
Speaker 1: I said, slavery is a choice. We can make our
Speaker 1: own reality. We can talk about history, but not too long.
Speaker 1: We need to talk about our now, because we can
Speaker 1: fix and start loving each other. Now I say, we
Speaker 1: have no enemies. We don't have enemies. Black people have
Speaker 1: a tendency to focus and march when a white person
Speaker 1: kills a black person or wears a hat, But when
Speaker 1: it's seven hundred kids being killed in Chicago, it's okay,
Speaker 1: it's okay for blacks to kill blacks. The discrepancy I'm
Speaker 1: gonna deal with the the end of the kind. Look,
Speaker 1: these are Kanye rents. There's a lot of stuff that
Speaker 1: he's packing into them. But the discrepancy that he talks
Speaker 1: about at the end about how when you have a
Speaker 1: white police officer that kills a black man, usually it's
Speaker 1: an unarmed black man. When when it turns into a
Speaker 1: national story, there is it's treated very very differently then. Um,
Speaker 1: when all these other all the other homicides that occur
Speaker 1: across the country and you're talking about a media focus.
Speaker 1: I mean, this was one of in the pre Trump era,
Speaker 1: one of the most dishonest things the media was engaged in.
Speaker 1: This is, while Obama was president, was making it seem
Speaker 1: as though cops were killing unarmed black men in large
Speaker 1: numbers in this country without cause, basically because of systemic racism.
Speaker 1: You know, this was definitely the case that see I
Speaker 1: was at CNN when they were doing this, it was
Speaker 1: it was an embarrassment. They let me debate Van Jones
Speaker 1: on this issue once and then never again because I won.
Speaker 1: But they would claim on a you know that they
Speaker 1: would they would run all these stories about how this
Speaker 1: was happening, and look at Ferguson and this story and
Speaker 1: that story. And then if you actually look at the numbers,
Speaker 1: something like if you if you took all of the
Speaker 1: cases that was clear, clear use of force, completely acceptable
Speaker 1: for law enforcement to use force based on everything we know,
Speaker 1: if you took all those out of the equation, how
Speaker 1: many times in a given year is a is an
Speaker 1: unarmed black man killed by police in questionable circumstances. That
Speaker 1: doesn't mean wrong, It just means where there's at least
Speaker 1: a possibility. It was like fifty or sixty country of
Speaker 1: three and twenty million people, fifty or sixty. Now, every
Speaker 1: life is precious, every person deserves their civil rights, their
Speaker 1: due process. I'm not dismissing, and I'm just saying, if
Speaker 1: you're looking at a problem that's a national plague that
Speaker 1: seems to be really uh exaggerated as a problem. It
Speaker 1: has been really exaggerated the media for a long time, uh,
Speaker 1: in terms of how commonly it occurs. And then you
Speaker 1: also see why is it that there's so much less
Speaker 1: of a focus UM. I mean a great example, just
Speaker 1: look at the media MSNBC, CNN and the other the
Speaker 1: other big networks. They weren't particularly concerned with the spikes
Speaker 1: and homicide in Baltimore or Chicago, for example, around the
Speaker 1: same period they were covering these stories about police violence
Speaker 1: against the armed black man. Why is that? Why is
Speaker 1: it wrong for us even to question that? You know,
Speaker 1: you start to ask this stuff where you you begin
Speaker 1: to engage in a discussion, and there are people who
Speaker 1: immediately want to push you into a corner and try
Speaker 1: to paint you as a racist, try to paint you
Speaker 1: as unfeeling, as not caring about the plight of underprivileged
Speaker 1: minorities in the inner cities of this country. You know
Speaker 1: that they don't want to have a discussion about it.
Speaker 1: But when Kanye wants to talk about it, maybe it'll
Speaker 1: get some attention outside of traditional conservative circles. Maybe there
Speaker 1: can be a shift in this UM. Then he Kanye
Speaker 1: was on TMZ, he got really animated about this UM
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to hear this for yourself. Play a teen.
Speaker 1: But I've never been into politics. I just love Trump.
Speaker 1: That's my boy. Obama was our opioids and made us
Speaker 1: feel like everything was good. Trump is a human being also,
Speaker 1: and he's doing a lot of things to actually help
Speaker 1: business owners be able to go pass all these shake
Speaker 1: laws and rules. Einstein says, the definitive insanity is doing
Speaker 1: the same thing expecting a different result. I believe that
Speaker 1: Kim John didn't believe that Obama was crazy enough to
Speaker 1: come at him. Sometimes you need some crazy to change something.
Speaker 1: Steve Jobs is crazy. Now we're all on Steve Jobs phones.
Speaker 1: They say Trump's crazy, they say I'm crazy. You know,
Speaker 1: can I just tell you if you go back, if
Speaker 1: you roll tape. I know I said it on Kennedy's
Speaker 1: show on Fox. Kennedy is great. I'm pretty sure I
Speaker 1: said it on the radio on my show this show
Speaker 1: too early on, like you know, month one or month
Speaker 1: to the Trump presidency, said you know, when looking at
Speaker 1: his foreign policy, I said, you know, you want Doc
Speaker 1: Holiday to be the guy with the Street Howitzer, the shotgun.
Speaker 1: You want someone sometimes to be the one who you
Speaker 1: know you want a guy that's a little unpredictable, who
Speaker 1: can actually be the one that to bring consequences to bear,
Speaker 1: because otherwise everyone thinks that, for example, the credible use
Speaker 1: of force is just it's just claptrap, it's just talk,
Speaker 1: has no meaning. And with Trump and North Korea, I've
Speaker 1: been saying this all along too, with his tweets. And
Speaker 1: when you have an entire you have an entire regime
Speaker 1: in North Korea built upon the perception of the unassailable, untouchable,
Speaker 1: unbeatable leader. For another world leader to finally say no,
Speaker 1: that guy is a punk that starts to change the
Speaker 1: tone of the discussion, doesn't it, because because Kim drawing
Speaker 1: can turn on his people in the past and say, yeah,
Speaker 1: the world international community, they hey to us, and they're
Speaker 1: they're the reason that we have all these problems, but
Speaker 1: they can't really mess with us. Look at them. They
Speaker 1: always end up giving us food. They always end up
Speaker 1: giving us stuff because they can't beat us. So I
Speaker 1: think Kanye's point about Trump being a little bit uh
Speaker 1: a little crazy to borrow his word is really meaningful.
Speaker 1: I've been to so many and I worked at a
Speaker 1: number of as a research intron. Really so I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna pretend like it was some high level thing. But
Speaker 1: I've worked at a number of think tanks, which I'm
Speaker 1: thinking about now because I'm here on K Street and
Speaker 1: d C. And it's not Yeah, they're right, they're right
Speaker 1: on the street, they're on the block. A lot of
Speaker 1: these think tanks, and then some of them do great
Speaker 1: work in research, but there's a lot of them. Wow, Wow,
Speaker 1: latch jo, there's latch fix. There's problem. There's why Rob
Speaker 1: Rob Rob. It's all the same stuff. You're in and
Speaker 1: year out. You know, how do we fix this problem?
Speaker 1: All more multilateral cooperation? How do we fix this? Oh?
Speaker 1: More cooperation is like the favorite word of anything tank. Oh,
Speaker 1: we're gonna find more cooperate ration with our allies. How
Speaker 1: do we defeat geehad is um? Oh? More? You know,
Speaker 1: you get it right. It's always there's a lot of
Speaker 1: the same repetition of the same thing over and over again.
Speaker 1: If you have a disruptive president, you want him to
Speaker 1: be disruptive. You want him to to to be as
Speaker 1: he is on the world stage as well as on
Speaker 1: domestic policy. And I think that's what you're getting. So
Speaker 1: there are some insights and what Kanye is saying here,
Speaker 1: I'm not saying all of it is. This is He's
Speaker 1: not the second coming of Ciero. I mean, I wonder
Speaker 1: if he could work Cisero into a route. I bet
Speaker 1: he could. Actually Cistero would be kind of a cool
Speaker 1: reference to get into a rap song. Ah eight four
Speaker 1: four to five. Team got some more on this and then, uh,
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think I'm gonna get in get to
Speaker 1: Afghanistan today in the situation there, I might hold that
Speaker 1: for another day, a bit of a deep dive on
Speaker 1: national security, but I have um, I have much more
Speaker 1: planned with your team, So stay right there and we'll
Speaker 1: be back. If you don't know about them already, I
Speaker 1: really want you to hear about nine Line Apparel. Look.
Speaker 1: Nine Line is a veteran owned and operated patriotic lifestyle brand,
Speaker 1: but they're also really big into giving back, so they
Speaker 1: have a partnership with NASCAR driver Jeffrey Earnhardt to give

Speaker 1: So please support our fallen heroes. Go to nine Line
Speaker 1: Apparel dot com to get this exclusive Moral Day T
Speaker 1: shirt and all of their other patriotic apparel. I knew
Speaker 1: Facebook was just gonna start doing stuff like this, but sure,
Speaker 1: sure enough, here it is. Facebook is now ranking news
Speaker 1: organizations based on trustworthiness. This is according to BuzzFeed. And
Speaker 1: here's what Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg had to say about
Speaker 1: this quote. We put that data into the system and
Speaker 1: it is acting as a boost or a suppression, and
Speaker 1: we're going to dial up the intensity of that over time.
Speaker 1: This was at the Rosewood sand Hill Hotel with media
Speaker 1: executives in the audience. We feel like we have a
Speaker 1: responsibility to further break down polarization and find common ground.
Speaker 1: So that's a part of this. But let's understand that
Speaker 1: Facebook is now going to be taking in active hand
Speaker 1: in pushing up we're pushing down news sources. Oh gee,
Speaker 1: I wonder if that's going to be abused. Now. You
Speaker 1: may be thinking, Buck, I don't get my news from Facebook.
Speaker 1: That's fine, although a lot of you, I'm sure, without
Speaker 1: even realizing that, you end up clicking on links. You
Speaker 1: see things that people post, right, but it may not
Speaker 1: be your Hopefully your main source of daily news information
Speaker 1: is the Buck Sexton Show. But when you look at
Speaker 1: what's going to be happening in the years ahead, more
Speaker 1: and more people are getting their news via social That is,
Speaker 1: in fact now a primary method for people to get
Speaker 1: their news and information. And that means that these mega
Speaker 1: platforms having control over the content in a subjective sense too. Remember,
Speaker 1: they're gonna be adjusting the algorithms however they want. You
Speaker 1: don't get to see that, you don't know. This is
Speaker 1: why I've been saying all along there were some of
Speaker 1: these media organizations. I can tell you they're buying traffic.
Speaker 1: They're not nearly as popular as they pretend to be,
Speaker 1: particularly in the digital world, and they've been playing games
Speaker 1: with us all along. Their gaming what they call s
Speaker 1: c O search engine optimization. They they pay to get better.
Speaker 1: I know people say, well Google won't do this, but
Speaker 1: that they pay to get better results on search. They
Speaker 1: pay to get Facebook traffic. You know, remember this is
Speaker 1: not this is not a utility. It's a business and
Speaker 1: people with political opinions are running this business. So this
Speaker 1: is something we we've got to keep a close eye
Speaker 1: on um and I think that it's only going to
Speaker 1: become more apparent as as time goes on that these
Speaker 1: are not just things that exist to allow people to connect.
Speaker 1: That's a that's a cute little storyline as to what
Speaker 1: Facebook and these other groups do, but it's not really
Speaker 1: what ends up happening. They are the They are the
Speaker 1: new mainstream media. They really are. The digital mainstream media
Speaker 1: is gonna be much much more powerful. And this is
Speaker 1: where you know, we we need a conservative or at
Speaker 1: least a neutral platform for us to share information, news
Speaker 1: and ideas. We really do, because this is gonna get
Speaker 1: worse and worse with time. And uh, you know everyone
Speaker 1: thinks that Facebook, no one can come up with an
Speaker 1: alternative or yeah, tell that to tell that to uh
Speaker 1: my space and friends stur What does Facebook have that
Speaker 1: they don't Well, hundreds of billions of dollars, I guess
Speaker 1: at this point. But Hillary, Hell, Wow, she's back. She's
Speaker 1: got some insights to offer you on uh why maybe
Speaker 1: yet again the newest I haven't the newest reason why
Speaker 1: she didn't win the election. You have not heard this
Speaker 1: one yet. It's amazing and that it just comes after
Speaker 1: May Day International Social Workers Day is fitting. Stay with
Speaker 1: me for he's back with you now, because when it
Speaker 1: comes to the fight for truth, the fuck never stops.
Speaker 1: So I saw earlier today that Candice Owen of Red
Speaker 1: Pill Black was reportedly gonna go well, according to Alex Jones,
Speaker 1: that's right, Sexton, your hair is fake. You wanted to
Speaker 1: see I you're the worst. Uh that Kennis Owens was
Speaker 1: was gonna go on in force Alex Jones. I have
Speaker 1: since seen that she is not going to do that.
Speaker 1: But I saw that it was initially reported or said
Speaker 1: wasn't reported my Jones by Alex Jones, that Candice and
Speaker 1: Kanye were going to come on a show, and I
Speaker 1: had to think to myself, why why would anyone do that?
Speaker 1: That's not I don't think that's a good idea. Of
Speaker 1: course not Sexton. The Bill Brugs have every gonna need
Speaker 1: on you. You're the worst. I've seen that. Look that
Speaker 1: smoke self satisfied. Look. Uh he has seen that. Look
Speaker 1: I guess that I have. So they're not doing that,
Speaker 1: which was a good thing. But we're speaking about Kanye before,
Speaker 1: and I was like, that would that would not be Look,
Speaker 1: people can do whatever they want. I just don't think
Speaker 1: that would be advisable at this point. It would not
Speaker 1: be a good thing for Kanye to show up on
Speaker 1: Alex Jones's platform, but he can do as he sees fit. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's fine. Jones is a a character, as my grandma
Speaker 1: would have said, He's a character. Literally. Um now, I
Speaker 1: wanted to give you some insight courtesy of you know
Speaker 1: who I missed you. Hello. Uh. She was at some
Speaker 1: kind of I don't even know what this was. Where
Speaker 1: where was she? Again? She's at some kind of uh
Speaker 1: sit down and talk of some kind, but she's she's
Speaker 1: talking about things and that's really specific book. You know,
Speaker 1: are you just talking about something some stuff out there?
Speaker 1: And uh, she was asked a question about or or.
Speaker 1: The discussion went to whether being a capitalist. What that
Speaker 1: meant for her? We have the audio for you. Please.
Speaker 1: Oh this was at the Remaining or No Reimagining Social
Speaker 1: Change Forum. I have no idea what that is, but
Speaker 1: please play the audio. Residential candidates since World War Two
Speaker 1: that actually had to stand up and say I am
Speaker 1: a capitalist? Uh? And you did? Uh? Did it hurt you? Probably?
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, it's it's hard. It's hard to know.
Speaker 1: But I mean if you're in the Iowa Caucuses and
Speaker 1: Democrats are socialists or self described socialists, and I'm asked,
Speaker 1: are you a capitalist? And I say yes, but with
Speaker 1: appropriate regulation and appropriate accountability, Uh, you know that that
Speaker 1: probably gets lost. And though, oh my gosh, she's a
Speaker 1: up the least, oh my gosh, look at look at
Speaker 1: Hillary letting loose up there a little bit. Can we
Speaker 1: all take a moment, though, to realize that what she
Speaker 1: said it's kind of a big deal. I know it's
Speaker 1: not news to you, it's not news to me. But
Speaker 1: for the presumed next president of the United States and
Speaker 1: the Democrats nominee for the President United States to come
Speaker 1: out and say that she basically lost votes because she's
Speaker 1: a capitalist, because so many Democrats in this country are
Speaker 1: actually socialists. That strikes me as important, That strikes me
Speaker 1: as something we should we should uh dig into a
Speaker 1: little more worthy of some more of our time. Because
Speaker 1: I remember when I first got into the media business,
Speaker 1: I would say that somebody would, oh, you know, you
Speaker 1: throw around the term socialists anytime anyone talked about socialism
Speaker 1: in the context of Barack Obama, for example, even though
Speaker 1: he was very fond of speaking about fair share for shure, uh,
Speaker 1: he didn't talk about socialism, but he talked about your
Speaker 1: fair share. People would say that to say that Obama
Speaker 1: even had any socialist tendencies was racist, just because if
Speaker 1: you wanted to shut down any criticism of Obama, just
Speaker 1: say it's racist. Right that that was an easy, an
Speaker 1: easy game the left played with with great effect for
Speaker 1: most of the Obama presidency, really all of the Obama presidency.
Speaker 1: But I know that a law of Democrats get very
Speaker 1: They get very crotchety, very per snickty when you say
Speaker 1: things like you know, what's the difference really between a
Speaker 1: between you guys and the socialist parties in Europe? You
Speaker 1: know what the answer is. The socialist parties in Europe
Speaker 1: are in some cases more willing to actually advocate for
Speaker 1: the level of taxation needed to support the welfare state
Speaker 1: that they want. That's a big difference. Democrats don't want
Speaker 1: high taxes on everyone. They just want high taxes on
Speaker 1: high earners, not the wealthy high earners. You go to
Speaker 1: country like Sweden, everyone's paying high taxes. Everybody's paying really
Speaker 1: high taxes. And actually, in some ways, and this is
Speaker 1: where it gets really mind boggling, countries like Denmark have
Speaker 1: more free market attributes in place than even we do here.
Speaker 1: In some ways, they're actually friendlier towards the free market
Speaker 1: than we are. They just have a really they're not
Speaker 1: really socialist countries. They're just countries with high taxation and
Speaker 1: a big welfare state. But there are socialist parties in Europe.
Speaker 1: And you look at their platform as you say, how
Speaker 1: is it different from Democrats, it's not. It's not significantly different.
Speaker 1: Different from what Democrats are advocating. They want higher taxes,
Speaker 1: more government programs, greater confiscation of wealth, and then the
Speaker 1: redistribution of wealth. I just think that this is noteworthy.
Speaker 1: You know that Bernie Sanders was a Democrats socialist in
Speaker 1: the last election and did as well as he did
Speaker 1: really should have won the Democrat primary, as we know
Speaker 1: it was, the deck was stacked against him. They burned
Speaker 1: the burn you know, they left him out in the
Speaker 1: They left him out in the cold, high and dry. Yeah,
Speaker 1: if it if it had been a free and fair election,
Speaker 1: I do think that Bernie probably would have would have
Speaker 1: eaten Hillary. But that means that a Democrat socialist openly
Speaker 1: and itself described, would have been the Democrats nominee. And
Speaker 1: so you start to start to force yourself right to
Speaker 1: confront this, why are we not allowed to say that
Speaker 1: Democrats are socialists? What really separates them then from socialists?
Speaker 1: And I think you see some there's a whole conversation
Speaker 1: the country really needs to have. Remember we had that
Speaker 1: there was a Communist Party USA. It actually was pretty
Speaker 1: robust for a while. In the twentieth century, there have
Speaker 1: been labor movements, we just had made a socialist workers
Speaker 1: movements in this country. The Democrat Party just token really
Speaker 1: merged with the American socialist lines of thought, the American
Speaker 1: socialist movements that came to be in the early twentieth century,
Speaker 1: and you know, the decades leading up into the Cold War,
Speaker 1: all of a sudden just became more mainstream Democrats stuff.
Speaker 1: That's all that happened. They merge the socialist this country
Speaker 1: didn't disappear. They e merged with the Democrat Party. And
Speaker 1: now what you're saying is that they are the Democrat Party.
Speaker 1: So you know, Hillary is being very blase about it
Speaker 1: because what does she care anymore? Right? But I think
Speaker 1: that this, uh, this deserves a bit more attention. That
Speaker 1: there are the most prominent people in the Democrat Party
Speaker 1: who were talking about how they are losing votes or
Speaker 1: that she lost votes because there's so many socialists in
Speaker 1: the Democrat Party. They don't like that term though, because
Speaker 1: it it's too honest. Right, what are Democrats stand for?
Speaker 1: Whatever they say they stand for? Right, what what's what's
Speaker 1: the primary ideology the Democrat Party? It was liberalism, it's progressivism.
Speaker 1: How separate is it really from democratic socialism as practiced
Speaker 1: in Europe? The answers almost indistinguishable. So, I mean, I
Speaker 1: can't run around quite yet and defend calling all the
Speaker 1: Democrats a bunch of comedies. But socialists, the case is
Speaker 1: getting The case is getting bigger, it's getting clearer, more obvious. Here, um,
Speaker 1: I will roll into a quick break your team. I
Speaker 1: still want to talk to you about, um oh, we
Speaker 1: gotta talk about CNNs choices in its coverage, and then
Speaker 1: also the cheap owl that the young girl out in
Speaker 1: a Utah war, and I've got updates on that and
Speaker 1: much more. Stay with me. If the American people didn't
Speaker 1: have the lowest opinion of the media now that they
Speaker 1: have all time, it would be it would be a
Speaker 1: shock to me because they should, quite honestly, now that
Speaker 1: we've seen just how completely united most of really all
Speaker 1: of the mainstream media is in their opposition to this administration.
Speaker 1: It would be hard for anybody not to feel like
Speaker 1: the fixes in and No Network, I think really characterizes
Speaker 1: the dishonesty of big j journalism in the era of
Speaker 1: Trump more than CNN that they you know, I watched
Speaker 1: it in the sense that I have it on monitors
Speaker 1: in the Freedom Hut, and and I keep cabs on
Speaker 1: some of their different shows, and I see clips of it.
Speaker 1: But I'm aware of what they're putting on air on
Speaker 1: a regular basis, and it's just madness. You know, there
Speaker 1: will You'll turn on Fox News and there'll be some
Speaker 1: big break in the negotiations with North Korea, an intractable
Speaker 1: nuclear intractable problem, a nuclear rogue state, you know that
Speaker 1: that could affect the lives of millions of people, and
Speaker 1: Trump is making headway there. That is completely blown a
Speaker 1: A what all the critics were saying was possible before
Speaker 1: even to this point. And then I'll turn on CNN
Speaker 1: and they'll they'll they'll have a photo of Stormy Daniels,
Speaker 1: and they've been putting Stormy Daniels up there as though
Speaker 1: she were getting her own show. And now I see
Speaker 1: this from from NewsBusters as well, that CNN has put
Speaker 1: the lawyer for the porn star, uh Stephanie whatever her
Speaker 1: name is, Stormy Daniel, Stephanie whatever her real name is.
Speaker 1: But CNN has hosted the porn star, Michael Evans. I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: the porn star lawyer. He is not a porn star.
Speaker 1: Excuse me? Whoa uh fifty nine times in less than
Speaker 1: two months. Okay, he is on CNN literally every day
Speaker 1: for the last two months, in fact, more than every day.
Speaker 1: Every day. This guy goes on there, you know, to
Speaker 1: talk about the the great the greatest minutia imaginable. In
Speaker 1: this case, they're putting him up and we all get
Speaker 1: to see and for what what do they really think
Speaker 1: is going to come of this. Meanwhile, Trump's approval rating
Speaker 1: is so they are willing to completely sacrifice the pretense
Speaker 1: of objectivity, and I would tell you that they're willing
Speaker 1: to just make a a dumpster fire of their credibility
Speaker 1: at you know. And that's what they've been doing in
Speaker 1: order to get Trump, and they haven't even been able
Speaker 1: to to to break it down and and make Trump's
Speaker 1: base and and really the Republican Party turn on him.
Speaker 1: We do not care. I mean, you know that that's
Speaker 1: there's a different by the way, between not caring and celebrating.
Speaker 1: We're not caring and and advocating for but we simply
Speaker 1: do not care about this allegation from a decade ago,
Speaker 1: you know. And if we're if we're going to start
Speaker 1: disqualifying people from public office for marital infidelity, it's gonna
Speaker 1: be a long it's gonna be a long list. And
Speaker 1: then we start to get into well, what are what
Speaker 1: are we really looking for in a leader? What do
Speaker 1: we really want in a president? And I mean that
Speaker 1: in its in terms of how it affects all of
Speaker 1: us in our in our day to day lives, what
Speaker 1: it means for the country. I don't. I don't turn
Speaker 1: to the White House for a role model. I certainly
Speaker 1: didn't during the Obama years, and I didn't before that
Speaker 1: or before that, So this doesn't really change my thinking
Speaker 1: in any way. I think it's also because conservatives have
Speaker 1: always at least had Look, there's a tension here, and
Speaker 1: I'll identify the tension. Conservatives believe in because we live
Speaker 1: in individual rights and responsibility, and we have a a
Speaker 1: built in ethics and morality that we are operating under
Speaker 1: as part of our political philosophy. Right, with liberals, it's
Speaker 1: just the mob. Whatever the mob wants, We want that,
Speaker 1: you know, that's what feels good, But the mob wants
Speaker 1: whatever the emotions of the moment dictate. That's what liberalism
Speaker 1: goes for. With conservatives, we operate within a moral framework.
Speaker 1: I know this is the kind of stuff that if
Speaker 1: any liberals heard, they would freak out at me, but
Speaker 1: I don't care. Uh. Conservatives operate within a moral framework.
Speaker 1: That doesn't even mean we're more and moral. It just
Speaker 1: means we have we will identify standards of conduct, right,
Speaker 1: we'll identify that, But we also know we live in
Speaker 1: the real world, and all of our ideals are also
Speaker 1: informed by experience and reality and history, and when you're
Speaker 1: looking at a president and what he can or can't
Speaker 1: do for you, I think the first thing conservatives want
Speaker 1: has to has to do with policies and the agenda. Um,
Speaker 1: And we don't become as emotionally entwined, or we shouldn't,
Speaker 1: at least maybe some people have with this president. But
Speaker 1: we shouldn't become emotionally entwined with the individual. We should
Speaker 1: think of it as supporting the you know, the promises
Speaker 1: that they that they made and the overall trajectory of
Speaker 1: what the day in and day out message from the
Speaker 1: government is about government policy, right, same way say I'm
Speaker 1: I'm a I'm a Catholic. Right, so you you look
Speaker 1: at the Pope recently he said they should just outlaw
Speaker 1: all or they should just ban all weapons. Forget about
Speaker 1: just banning guns. I mean, it's a nice idea, but
Speaker 1: it's preposterous, right, it doesn't That doesn't help anything or anyone.
Speaker 1: But I don't go to the pope for how to,
Speaker 1: you know, how to deal with weapons and policy and
Speaker 1: stopping violence in that way. With this Pope, I don't
Speaker 1: really go to them for anything. But in general I
Speaker 1: would go to the pope for when he's speaking ex
Speaker 1: cathedra on on matters of church faith and doctrine, and
Speaker 1: that's you know, that is what counts. So I don't
Speaker 1: have this big problem separating out Trump the man before
Speaker 1: he even took office from Trump in office now and
Speaker 1: see an end. I just wonder what they're trying to
Speaker 1: accomplish other than antagonizing Trump supporters. But they're not really
Speaker 1: watching CNN or just In And this is what I
Speaker 1: think the primary motivation is. I mean, why would they
Speaker 1: put Stormy Daniels, as NewsBusters is saying, here, um, Stormy
Speaker 1: Daniel's lawyer on on TV fifty nine times. It's just
Speaker 1: not that interesting. It's just not really that that good
Speaker 1: of a TV segment unless the entire purpose of this
Speaker 1: is two allow the delusional anti Trump left and the
Speaker 1: cry baby Democrat party to just continue to cling to
Speaker 1: this one, cling to the fiction Trump isn't really the
Speaker 1: president too, that any day now he won't be the president.
Speaker 1: And three they owe him not even a a modicum
Speaker 1: even a smidgeon of respect none, and it plays into
Speaker 1: that mentality they have. Oh kay, let's put the porn
Speaker 1: star that Trump was with on TV, and you can't
Speaker 1: even make this stuff up because a lot of the
Speaker 1: journalists that are making such a big issue of this,
Speaker 1: we're the same ones who under Clinty far worse and
Speaker 1: proven stuff when it came to Maryland Fidelity and and
Speaker 1: all the rest of it. Uh, they were staunch defenders
Speaker 1: of it. So we've already seen that. We don't forget it,
Speaker 1: and thanks to the Internet, we can even retrieve it
Speaker 1: and we can use it as as evidence, so to speak,
Speaker 1: in the court of public opinion. But yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: Cenna has really disgraced itself. I mean it needs a
Speaker 1: total overhaul. They need new leadership top to bottom. They
Speaker 1: need new people calling the shots over there, because it's
Speaker 1: just turned into a clown show. I want to talk
Speaker 1: to you about the Boy Scouts coming up in the
Speaker 1: third hour, which maybe it shouldn't even really be called
Speaker 1: the boy Scouts anymore because of some recent policy changes
Speaker 1: that are going on, and uh, the boys and girl
Speaker 1: Scouts really and I think it's just a matter of
Speaker 1: time before it's the boys and girls and and also
Speaker 1: you know whatever else that they z and these made
Speaker 1: up genders that exist now, Uh, I want to talk
Speaker 1: to you about that. Also an update on the cheap
Speaker 1: how dress. It's fun to say that that a young
Speaker 1: woman in Utah ward or prom got some interesting, interesting
Speaker 1: new things to add into that discussion. So we have
Speaker 1: a much more comming team. Eight four four nine hundred
Speaker 1: Buck will be right back. What if I told you
Speaker 1: that you could be drinking incredibly delicious coffee, you could
Speaker 1: be supporting veterans and a patriotic American brand and showing

Speaker 1: three of the bucks Xton Show. I think I've told
Speaker 1: you before that I had a short and undistinguished career
Speaker 1: in the Cub Scouts, UM. So, I guess I never
Speaker 1: made it to boy Scout level. I think I was
Speaker 1: a Cub Scout right, I was first grade. So, but
Speaker 1: but I did it for a little bit in New York.
Speaker 1: It's it's kind of sad because it's like, oh, like,
Speaker 1: let's go, you know, build a tent and make a fire.
Speaker 1: And it's like, well, I can't really do that. That's
Speaker 1: not really happening. You know. We can we can go
Speaker 1: outside and uh choke on some mog, but we we
Speaker 1: cannot build the ten to make a fire. So it
Speaker 1: wasn't really that easy to do in New York. I
Speaker 1: did it for a little while, but I know that
Speaker 1: there's a tremendous tradition, millions and millions of young people
Speaker 1: across the country, UM that have done this for stretching
Speaker 1: back for decades and it's change it right now. This
Speaker 1: is the piece on CNN today. Goodbye Boy Scouts, Hello
Speaker 1: Scouts b s A. Less than a year after the
Speaker 1: Boy Scouts of America decided to invite girls to join,
Speaker 1: the organization announced that it will refer to its older
Speaker 1: youth program as Scouts b s A starting in February.
Speaker 1: The name change comes amid a new campaign slogan, Scout
Speaker 1: me In, that was made to emphasize the group's expansion
Speaker 1: from just boys to boys and girls. The name change
Speaker 1: only applies to the program I'm currently called boy Scouts.
Speaker 1: The Cub Scouts program will not undergo a name change. Ah,
Speaker 1: Why why do we have to Why do we have
Speaker 1: to make the Cub Scouts program, or rather the Boy
Speaker 1: Scouts program co ed? Is it really that offensive to
Speaker 1: our our modern sensibilities now to have any kind of
Speaker 1: separation of the sexes. I just don't under I don't
Speaker 1: really when I say I don't understand, that's not the
Speaker 1: right way. I lose patience with this kind of thinking
Speaker 1: because I don't see a good reason for this. I
Speaker 1: think back, I'm a product of maybe for better or
Speaker 1: for worse, but I'm a product of many, many years
Speaker 1: of single sex education, ten years in uh primary school,
Speaker 1: and then four years of high school, and I know that,
Speaker 1: you know, at least there were some periods there where
Speaker 1: it was really it was really nice to be able
Speaker 1: to focus on other things than what the girls in
Speaker 1: the class thought of me. Now, I'm not trying to
Speaker 1: make this about co ed education. I'm just trying to
Speaker 1: bring my own experience to this. I mean, I remember
Speaker 1: in high school being a kid who wore see I
Speaker 1: I always found I figured out the school was always
Speaker 1: kind of cold because in this old building, and we
Speaker 1: had a strict dress code and a really mean dean
Speaker 1: who like to go around and give people detention thirty
Speaker 1: forty minutes of staring at a wall if you were
Speaker 1: found in any way, you know, kind of outside of
Speaker 1: the um. Did the uniform expectations and uh it had
Speaker 1: to be like khaki pants and a dress shirt anyway.
Speaker 1: Uh that stuff. Though, I could get around because I
Speaker 1: would just wear a fleece and they couldn't make me
Speaker 1: take the fleece off. So I would go to school
Speaker 1: a lot of time wearing it like a T shirt,
Speaker 1: you know, like a you know, basketball T shirt or something,
Speaker 1: and a fleece over it, which was very comfortable. But
Speaker 1: you know, you go through all this stuff in high
Speaker 1: schoolhere you go through an awkward phase and you know,
Speaker 1: you know, I, oh, gosh, I had. I had struggled
Speaker 1: with bad skin on and off for years, which was
Speaker 1: always really hard. Um. And you know, it's just something
Speaker 1: that as I, as I continue to look at all
Speaker 1: of the different reasons that there are these, you know,
Speaker 1: organizations that are separated by male and female, especially for
Speaker 1: young people, I just think that there's a good reason
Speaker 1: for it, there's a space for it. And yet here
Speaker 1: we are, you know, now it's gotta be boy Scouts
Speaker 1: and girl Scouts together. It does feel like there's a
Speaker 1: radical equality program that is is pushing much of this thinking. Um.
Speaker 1: And and then they're going after people younger and younger
Speaker 1: with all this stuff too. I also saw this was
Speaker 1: from a feminist author named Jessica Valenti. She put this
Speaker 1: out on on Twitter. She wrote, to the folks who
Speaker 1: find lgbt Q language, I mean, just the acronym is confusing,
Speaker 1: but to find that language confusing, if my daughter's second
Speaker 1: grade class can get it, so can you. And then
Speaker 1: she posted this hole like a big bulletin Board of
Speaker 1: lgbt q UH Terminology. And I gotta tell you something, Okay,
Speaker 1: I was at a young age, I had a very
Speaker 1: big vocabulary for my age, and always did really, really
Speaker 1: well on all the standardized tests, particularly having to do
Speaker 1: with either reading or vocabulary. That was just my skill set,
Speaker 1: that was my area. Although at first I had a
Speaker 1: speech impediment. Everyone thought I was dumb and I was
Speaker 1: going to fail out of school. And you know, thankfully
Speaker 1: I had parents who believed in me, and I ended
Speaker 1: up proving all the haters wrong. But I can tell
Speaker 1: you this, in the second grade, I did not know
Speaker 1: what cis gender was, and that was probably a good thing.
Speaker 1: I didn't even know what cis gender was until a
Speaker 1: few years ago, because I'm pretty sure it's a made
Speaker 1: up word that they just came up with, or if
Speaker 1: it's not made up recently, it's not something anybody was using.
Speaker 1: But these are second graders, so it's basically the same
Speaker 1: age as the cub Scouts. You know. I'm just I'm
Speaker 1: tying these things together because I see there is a
Speaker 1: there's a pretty radical agenda here of of not just
Speaker 1: eliminating the differences between the sexes male and female, but
Speaker 1: also then on top of it, teaching that there's all
Speaker 1: these distinctions among the two genders that don't really exist, right,
Speaker 1: so male female should not be separate, but by transgender,
Speaker 1: cis gender, queer and straight are all separate things. Huh.
Speaker 1: And this is all from the second grade, allegedly at
Speaker 1: least from this second grade bulletin board, from this woman's
Speaker 1: and she's promoting this and saying, look at how great
Speaker 1: this is. Uh, this is transgender according to according to
Speaker 1: this I guess they're they're eleven or twelve years old,
Speaker 1: is a person who is assigned male or female at
Speaker 1: birth but doesn't identify that way. What the heck does
Speaker 1: a second grader know about that? And why are they
Speaker 1: being taught this stuff that I would look, there's still
Speaker 1: a lot of back and forth on what this really is.
Speaker 1: It is not physical. As I've discussed you before, transgenderism
Speaker 1: cannot be based on the physical, meaning that it's not
Speaker 1: a chromosomal abnormality or anything like that. Because and then
Speaker 1: they'll say, well, that does exist in science, and I
Speaker 1: say yes, but the people that you're talking about, transgender
Speaker 1: activists just think there's something else. So it's completely a
Speaker 1: psychological thing. But they're teaching this to second graders. Uh.
Speaker 1: The cis gender a person who is assigned male or
Speaker 1: female at birth and identifies that way, also known as
Speaker 1: gender queer. This is the second graders. It's complex and
Speaker 1: can mean a lot of things. A person who doesn't
Speaker 1: identify as straight or by, or gay or lesbian. This
Speaker 1: is for second graders in the classroom. Folks, What does
Speaker 1: any of this even mean? It doesn't identify as straight
Speaker 1: or by, or gay or lesbian? What is that? Then?
Speaker 1: What's left? I don't wanna put out some suggestions because
Speaker 1: they're gonna be pretty out there, but Okay, you're not straight,
Speaker 1: you're not gay, you're not by, you're not lesbian. I
Speaker 1: mean a sexual as a term, but that's not what
Speaker 1: queer means. And I just think that the fact that
Speaker 1: they're trying to teach this to second or they're propagandizing kids.
Speaker 1: So on the one hand, we can't allow for what
Speaker 1: the cub scouts to bring this all together. We can't
Speaker 1: allow for young men to have a place where they
Speaker 1: can be men among each other and not have the
Speaker 1: influence of, you know, the opposite sex on them, which
Speaker 1: can bring its own stresses and changes so that that
Speaker 1: can't be allowed. But on the other hand, boys and
Speaker 1: girls starting at like age nine need to be told
Speaker 1: what queer and transgender is now by their teachers in
Speaker 1: a classroom setting. You know, I still remember I found out.
Speaker 1: I found out what I was in the fourth grade.
Speaker 1: This is a true story. A kid named Andrew told
Speaker 1: me what sex was. That's how I found out. He
Speaker 1: was just walking around and looking some in the face
Speaker 1: and saying, do you know how people have sex? So
Speaker 1: when a guy takes his privates and just smashes into
Speaker 1: a woman and they have a baby. I remember, I
Speaker 1: was like, I was horrified at the time, but it
Speaker 1: turned out he was kind of right, sort of. I
Speaker 1: never really I think he was in the third grade.
Speaker 1: I was think I was in the third grade. I'll
Speaker 1: never forget that. Kids that to me, and that's how
Speaker 1: I learned about it. Uh, pretty funny. All right, We'll
Speaker 1: be back with with much more. Team, stay with me, Team.
Speaker 1: I only drink in moderation and so what I am
Speaker 1: going to kick back, relax and have some kind of
Speaker 1: alcoholic beverage. G four tequila is my choice because I
Speaker 1: want to make a count and I want the best
Speaker 1: G four is the pinnacle of master distiller Felipe camaron
Speaker 1: is passion for crafting truly great tequila. And I'm down
Speaker 1: here in the d C swamp. It is hot, it
Speaker 1: is sticky. Nothing better if you're sitting out on the porch,
Speaker 1: or on the street, or up on the rooftop or
Speaker 1: at a bar than having a nice glass of G
Speaker 1: four tequila at the ready. It is simply delicious. This
Speaker 1: will blow your mind. It is not like any other
Speaker 1: tequila that you have had put out of your mind.
Speaker 1: Whether you even like tequila or not at this point,
Speaker 1: try G four and you will love it. Visit G
Speaker 1: four Tequila dot life That's G four Tequila dot life
Speaker 1: for more details, or give them a like on Facebook
Speaker 1: at facebook dot com slash G four Tequila's craft your
Speaker 1: own luxury with G four. When can you lean in
Speaker 1: for the kiss? That is a question that I've heard
Speaker 1: talked about a lot more in the era of the
Speaker 1: Me Too movement and all the big revelations about some
Speaker 1: of the very high profile, wealthy and powerful predatory men
Speaker 1: out there. But you know, it also reminds me back
Speaker 1: of back when I was at Amberous my first week
Speaker 1: and their official college campus guidance was at each stage.
Speaker 1: I'm just telling you, all right, this is what they
Speaker 1: told me. You might be sitting there like buck, this
Speaker 1: is bizarre, and I'm telling you I agree. But they said,
Speaker 1: at each stage of the sexual escalation process you had
Speaker 1: to verbalize your next move before taking it. And I'm
Speaker 1: so and I remember actually I was there. I was
Speaker 1: a little bit subversive, even leon in my college career.
Speaker 1: I said, so, so, if you're kissing a girl and
Speaker 1: you want to put your hand in the upstairs area,
Speaker 1: you've got to like ask first. And they said yes.
Speaker 1: I said, what if you want to go for like
Speaker 1: the small back or you know you're you're kissing and
Speaker 1: you're gonna go for you know you're gonna slide the
Speaker 1: head down around around the tush. H. Yes, you have
Speaker 1: to ask. So you guys mean you don't mean like
Speaker 1: for the big things that we're all adults here. You
Speaker 1: know we know what we're talking about. Uh, you you ask, right,
Speaker 1: that's understand. You mean literally everybody part every move you
Speaker 1: want verbal consent beforehand. That is your guidance. The answer
Speaker 1: was yes, And I was like, this seems like not
Speaker 1: a particularly romantic approach to male female relations I've got
Speaker 1: to say, uh that all said, turns out that not
Speaker 1: only Amherst in the early two thousands, and many other
Speaker 1: colleges had that today. There to the eighteen, the Pentagon
Speaker 1: has spent almost seven hundred thousand dollars on quote can
Speaker 1: I Kiss you? Training? So the training event, according to
Speaker 1: the Free Beacon here, is aimed to provide soldiers with
Speaker 1: skills to build respectful sexual relationships and tools to apply
Speaker 1: effective communication with partners, etcetera, etcetera. Okay, we all get that,
Speaker 1: and that's all fine, Um, but I gotta tell you, uh,
Speaker 1: there's one part of this where I said, really, um,
Speaker 1: can I kiss you? As a six let me give
Speaker 1: you some of the details. It's a sixty ninety minute
Speaker 1: training session. Who's It's taught by a guy named Mike
Speaker 1: dam Ritz, who is an author and public speaker who
Speaker 1: travels the world teaching people about consent. A hallmark of
Speaker 1: the training is telling troops they must ask a woman
Speaker 1: before a kiss ending a date, no matter what you know.
Speaker 1: I don't know about that one. May I kiss hill
Speaker 1: exculs Babis. I've enjoyed h steak, touch hard together, and
Speaker 1: I really liked that Bolt of chocolate lava cake, and
Speaker 1: it's a lovely night and the air is breezy, and
Speaker 1: I would like to press my mouth against your mouth,
Speaker 1: May please have your consent? That feels like it's not
Speaker 1: gonna work out in your favor. Uh, lots of tops.
Speaker 1: You know that there is this. I guess maybe you're
Speaker 1: not allowed. You know, masculinity is increasingly just considered toxic
Speaker 1: as a thing. Masculinity needs to be it needs to
Speaker 1: be tamed, and actually, for progressive leftists it really needs
Speaker 1: I guess all leftists are progressive, so that's a repetitive.
Speaker 1: But for the left, for the liberals out there, they
Speaker 1: want to tone down and if possible, even eliminate masculinity
Speaker 1: everywhere they can as much as they can. There is
Speaker 1: a male female dynamic at play in in a romantic
Speaker 1: relationships where it's just biochemically going to be more times
Speaker 1: than not. I'm not saying all the time that the
Speaker 1: guy makes the first move. That's all I'm saying, makes
Speaker 1: the first move. And this is stuff that we've all
Speaker 1: picked up through books and movies and in our culture
Speaker 1: for a long time. Now, Ladies out there, if you've
Speaker 1: made the first move and went well, congrats, and uh,
Speaker 1: I respect the game, but to say that a guy
Speaker 1: has to ask a girl for a kiss at the
Speaker 1: end of the date strikes me as a little rigid.
Speaker 1: Now you get into okay, buck, what's your suggestion? You know,
Speaker 1: you kind of do the like the headside twist thing,
Speaker 1: and you kind of lean a little loose, and you
Speaker 1: know she's gonna know what's up, and then she has
Speaker 1: the option of meeting you a halfway literally or not.
Speaker 1: And to all the guys out there who guys like
Speaker 1: me who have been on I've been on a lot
Speaker 1: of dates. Let me tell you lots of dates. Most
Speaker 1: of them went very well in the sense that we
Speaker 1: got a long fine and you know, everyone was very polite,
Speaker 1: almost all him. Actually I'm a gentleman with excellent manners.
Speaker 1: But you know, I just feel like once in a while,
Speaker 1: maybe you know, you think you think you're getting waved in,
Speaker 1: not to home, but the first base. You think you're
Speaker 1: getting waved in, and and you get the little like
Speaker 1: chin down kind of headbut looking thing and you realize, whoops,
Speaker 1: misread that one, and then you're done zo. Right. The
Speaker 1: problem with some of these guys out there is that
Speaker 1: and we're now we're talking about like like the bro
Speaker 1: call and all this stuff is. You don't get to
Speaker 1: like trying to make someone do that. You're just offering
Speaker 1: up the option. It's kind of like saying if you're
Speaker 1: standing there and you put your arms, your hands behind
Speaker 1: your back, and you extend your your chin forward and
Speaker 1: you make a like a kissy face, and you know
Speaker 1: she knows what you're trying to do. At that point,
Speaker 1: she can either get in on that action or be like,
Speaker 1: you're a weirdo. I'm not I'm not kissing you, right.
Speaker 1: I feel like that's the consent stage, and I'm missing something.
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, you can't grab someone try to force them,
Speaker 1: that's a salt, but you have to now verbalize it beforehand.
Speaker 1: I mean, go back and watch the terrible movie Hitch,
Speaker 1: which is a really bad movie. The whole thing was,
Speaker 1: you know, at the end of the first date, if
Speaker 1: you like or you think it's going on, you gotta
Speaker 1: lean you know, you lean in for the kiss. Are
Speaker 1: we really that fragile now as a species that I
Speaker 1: need to tell everybody that we we need like a
Speaker 1: verbal consent before making the move. You know, I think
Speaker 1: about this, what am I gonna be writing on a
Speaker 1: napkin like it's scales day. Well we have finished desserts.
Speaker 1: I would like to uh slabber all over your face.
Speaker 1: I just think this is and the Pentagon spent seven
Speaker 1: hund thousand dollars on it, which in Pentagon terms is
Speaker 1: like there's nothing they could have spent like seven million
Speaker 1: on can I Kiss you? Training? And everybody like, I'm
Speaker 1: sure there's some good stuff in the training, but at
Speaker 1: one point about about you know, you have to ask
Speaker 1: at the end of the date for a kiss. Go
Speaker 1: back and watch the movie Hitch, which I don't think
Speaker 1: anyone thinks that Will Smith is training whatever that what's
Speaker 1: that comedian's named Brandon? You know the guy I'm talking about,
Speaker 1: James Kevin thank you, Yes, Kevin James. You know, I
Speaker 1: don't I don't think anyone thinks that Will that Will
Speaker 1: Smith that movie is training Kevin James to be a predator.
Speaker 1: But he's like, you know, lean in to kiss her.
Speaker 1: If she doesn't want to kiss you, she just doesn't
Speaker 1: kiss you. You know, there's like a meeting halfway part
Speaker 1: of this. Anyway, Maybe I'm just old fat, but old
Speaker 1: fashioned now is getting getting the heat you know, I'm
Speaker 1: just a little more old fashion about this stuff. Uh,
Speaker 1: let me know on a in the roll call coming
Speaker 1: up here well for tomorrow. Write me on Facebook, tell
Speaker 1: me if you think I'm right on this. And when
Speaker 1: we come back, I got an update on this is great,
Speaker 1: by the way, an update on that prom dress that's
Speaker 1: a cheap how the traditional Chinese dress that that nice
Speaker 1: young lady in Utah war. Turns out that the liberals
Speaker 1: who think that they're standing up for everybody else might
Speaker 1: have jumped the gun a little bit. I will give
Speaker 1: you details on that right when we get back. Seeing
Speaker 1: I have an update for you from the cultural appropriation
Speaker 1: prom dress battle that I told you about earlier in
Speaker 1: the week. No surprise here, guess what. It turns out
Speaker 1: that the people who were all upset on behalf of
Speaker 1: Chinese culture and the Chinese people, but the Americans on
Speaker 1: Twitter who are like, oh my gosh, how could you
Speaker 1: wear that dress? They're so upset about it they didn't
Speaker 1: stop to see or even think. Maybe in China this
Speaker 1: could be considered just fine. And now from the South
Speaker 1: China Morning Post newspaper, it turns out that the predominant
Speaker 1: opinion that they're picking up from social media in China. Member,
Speaker 1: this young woman, uh Kezia Dam wore the cheapao, which
Speaker 1: is a traditional Chinese dress, and it turns out that
Speaker 1: a lot of people in China think that this isn't
Speaker 1: cultural appropriation, they think it is cultural appreciation. Oh wow,
Speaker 1: what a shock. You know, this isn't the first time
Speaker 1: this has happened. There have been some other incidents in
Speaker 1: recent history where, for example, a Native American tribe, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, the name was changed from Native American tribe,
Speaker 1: only to find out that, you know, maybe the local
Speaker 1: tribe actually think it's pretty cool that the university mascot
Speaker 1: is named for them, right. You know, this is just
Speaker 1: this is such a a stalinist view of of culture
Speaker 1: that the left takes on all of this. Think about
Speaker 1: all the different ways in which you show your appreciation
Speaker 1: of different cultures on a regular basis um and you
Speaker 1: can either be doing it in a way that is
Speaker 1: appreciative or you obviously could be doing in a way
Speaker 1: that maybe is uh mocking or exploitative or something. But
Speaker 1: you know, this is the difference between yeah, a a
Speaker 1: fraternity party where all of the you know, the the
Speaker 1: privileged kids dress up as like white trash that's happened
Speaker 1: at some of these fraternities, or as gang bangers. That's
Speaker 1: that's not meant to be respectful or nice. So I
Speaker 1: understand why people are bothered by that. But a university mascot,
Speaker 1: for example, that that's a symbol of strength and unity.
Speaker 1: And that's why when people say, oh, the fighting Irish,
Speaker 1: they need to get rid of the little lepre con No.
Speaker 1: It's supposed to be all about that the fighting Irish
Speaker 1: are a bunch of fighters, and this is cool. It's
Speaker 1: not meant to demean or to debase. And you see
Speaker 1: this with a girl to her prom, this is obviously
Speaker 1: a special occasion. You know, an American culture, we an
Speaker 1: American speaking of American culture, it makes such a big
Speaker 1: deal out of I don't even remember my problem, and
Speaker 1: not because I was drunk, because I wasn't because kids,
Speaker 1: not while you're underage, no drinking um. But I don't
Speaker 1: remember my problem really at all. And it's really at
Speaker 1: least I can say, in New York City it really
Speaker 1: wasn't a big thing. No one really paid much attention
Speaker 1: to it. But I know a lot of other parts
Speaker 1: of the country, probably because they're in a co ed
Speaker 1: school alsos you get prom king and prom queen and
Speaker 1: all that. But if you wear a dress to your prom,
Speaker 1: you're wearing it because you like it, because you think
Speaker 1: it's pretty, and because you're trying to celebrate that aspect
Speaker 1: of the culture. Or maybe, and here's a crazy idea
Speaker 1: for the libs out there, maybe you just think it's
Speaker 1: a pretty dress and don't care where it's from or
Speaker 1: what it's all about. And that's okay too. It is
Speaker 1: a dress. You are allowed to like something and then
Speaker 1: where it But I just thought this was great that
Speaker 1: that the Chinese people on social media, and look, they
Speaker 1: didn't do some big uh testing on this or something,
Speaker 1: but this is the the predominant sense of what of
Speaker 1: what actual China. Remember there's a Chinese motive dress. The
Speaker 1: predominant sense that that you're getting on what's the name
Speaker 1: of the uh we Bow, which is a huge Chinese
Speaker 1: social media network. I believe um. They said they were
Speaker 1: saying things like very elegant and beautiful and I suggest
Speaker 1: the Chinese government, state television or fashion company invite her
Speaker 1: to China to display her cheap out. The Chinese people
Speaker 1: are like, oh, this American girl thinks that this Chinese
Speaker 1: dress is pretty? Isn't that great? You know? You know
Speaker 1: what that is? Spokes right, That's a normal human reaction.
Speaker 1: That's what any person who wasn't steeped in social justice craziness,
Speaker 1: that's the only person would respond it's flattering. How how
Speaker 1: is that not? You know, when I go to, you know,
Speaker 1: eat Indian food and I'm like, Indian food is delicious.
Speaker 1: I'm not stealing from the people of India. I'm actually
Speaker 1: paying in many cases people who are of Indian descent
Speaker 1: because their food is delicious. Because I love Indian food.
Speaker 1: I love a lot of different kinds of food. You know,
Speaker 1: it's it's a high five. It's not a slap down.
Speaker 1: And we need to be willing to stand up and
Speaker 1: and defend that distinction in our culture. That's what I
Speaker 1: meant by you know, the difference between what you wear
Speaker 1: as a prom dress to look pretty and you know,
Speaker 1: a fraternity party where they're all wearing uh, you know,
Speaker 1: white tank tops. People call them wife beaters, very improperly,
Speaker 1: very un pc Uh, that's what they refer to the
Speaker 1: tank top. I'm I don't I'm just saying that's how
Speaker 1: some of these fraternities do. Uh, there's a big difference,
Speaker 1: and we need to understand these differences and distinguish what's
Speaker 1: being done here. And I'm just happy to see that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: no surprise. Plenty of Chinese people are weighing in on this.
Speaker 1: In America, it's how could you wear the cheap How?
Speaker 1: In China they're like, looks pretty, Honor, We're glad she
Speaker 1: liked it. Maybe you know, take some photos and use
Speaker 1: it for the Chinese Tourism ministry or something. Why not,
Speaker 1: you know, get more people to buy, more people to
Speaker 1: buy cheap pals. Maybe there's a business here. That's why
Speaker 1: we That's the way we should think about these things.
Speaker 1: All right. We got roll Call up next. Ain't no
Speaker 1: party like a Team Buck party, because a Team Buck
Speaker 1: party don't stop. Yeah, we got Bucks turned up to eleven.
Speaker 1: It's time for roll Call. I think that maybe my
Speaker 1: favorite of the Royal Call intros so far. But the
Speaker 1: team and I will have to come up with some
Speaker 1: new ones here because you know, we'd like to keep
Speaker 1: you on your toes. Uh. If you want to be
Speaker 1: a part of roll Call, it's pretty straightforward. Facebook dot com,
Speaker 1: slash Buck Sexton, let me know what you think, give
Speaker 1: me thoughts about the show, tell me, tell me things,
Speaker 1: tell me things, and the roll call, because that's how
Speaker 1: we like to do it. And let's now get into it. Um,
Speaker 1: James rites cultural appropriation. No one had a problem with
Speaker 1: Nehru jackets in the late nineteen sixties. All James, you
Speaker 1: are in fact correct, Although whenever somebody brings up Nehru
Speaker 1: jackets I immediately start thinking of Team America World Police
Speaker 1: when he's like, not the Nehru Jackets. But if you
Speaker 1: haven't seen that, you won't know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1: How But yeah, cultural appropriation, we spent some time in it. Today.
Speaker 1: It's just crazy. People are just people are just nuts.
Speaker 1: Next up we get Matthew, who writes Buck great show.
Speaker 1: I'm a proud O. S S team member. The way
Speaker 1: the MSM is describing the refugees at our border, I
Speaker 1: thought I was watching the final scene in Tears of
Speaker 1: the Sun, great movie, by the way, if these people
Speaker 1: were only fleeing their home country, why not just stay
Speaker 1: in Mexico. The whole narrative is a joke. Keep up
Speaker 1: the fight for rational thought, semper five. Thank you very much, Matthew,
Speaker 1: appreciate having somebody oss writing in I always do tears.
Speaker 1: This sun Is is a pretty watchable movie, although I
Speaker 1: feel like it's a little relentless in the tension, and
Speaker 1: it's a little depressing in some parts obviously, But uh,
Speaker 1: it's it's well done. That guy with the Foehawk who
Speaker 1: plays the Seal Marksman is particularly compelling in that role,
Speaker 1: I always thought. And Bruce Willis does a very good job.
Speaker 1: You know, Bruce Willis, he's he's been getting it done
Speaker 1: now for going on forty years. So I gotta get
Speaker 1: the guy credit. Uh, next up here. Oh but one
Speaker 1: thing that's here's the sun Is. I'm pretty sure they
Speaker 1: they have a made up country. I forget what the
Speaker 1: name of the country is, and I'm like, why can't
Speaker 1: they just pick a country? You know? What's with the
Speaker 1: made up country thing? Uh? We have Erica who writes,
Speaker 1: We're going to Washington, d C. This summer. Our hotel
Speaker 1: is in the Chinatown section. I'm hoping to indulge myself
Speaker 1: in dim sum Can you recommend a place we're taking
Speaker 1: the kids? Any suggestions on what not to miss? It
Speaker 1: greatly appreciated. Oh, Erica, you know, I'm just getting my
Speaker 1: feet wet here in the swamp once again. I'm I'm
Speaker 1: a reformed swamp dweller. And now I'm I'm starting to
Speaker 1: remember where the streets go and everything else. I'm getting
Speaker 1: my bearings here in terms of stuff that you can't
Speaker 1: you know, I'm there are a lot of people that
Speaker 1: are in New York. I'm as good as it gets.

Speaker 1: dive in into the the inbox here and pull out
Speaker 1: the cutest baby baby animal photos that are friends our
Speaker 1: team Buck family owns here because there's some really cute ones.
Speaker 1: Are ferret Luna at twelve weeks old. I think the
Speaker 1: ferrets so cute. I like ferrets, any any warm blooded
Speaker 1: creature I have an affinity for. I can't, guys, I
Speaker 1: can't get behind the whole pet lizard thing. I know,
Speaker 1: I don't know turtles. I'm I'm okay with turtles, don't
Speaker 1: bother me. But any other lizard, it's just, uh, I
Speaker 1: feel like we're just a few days. You know, any
Speaker 1: day now there could be some kind of an incident
Speaker 1: with nuclear waste or or toxic waste or something, and
Speaker 1: then the lizard gets really big and intelligent and tries
Speaker 1: to eat me. I just don't trust lizards. You know,
Speaker 1: you can call me a lizard of Fobe and snakes
Speaker 1: are obviously the worst thing. An't between snakes and spiders, Brandon,
Speaker 1: what's worse? Snakes or spiders? Spiders smaller? Getting your shoes there?
Speaker 1: You go, Yeah, there's nothing about like a snake. I
Speaker 1: feel like even like, yeah, you know, we're both members
Speaker 1: of the animal kingdom that are trying to do our thing.
Speaker 1: With spiders, it's just like, why do you even exist? Man?
Speaker 1: Like spiders are the worst? Very anti spider, James writes
Speaker 1: buck Love the show. The one form policy we have
Speaker 1: not tried is to rewrite and distribute the Koran. Eliminating
Speaker 1: the parts which include jihad. Passing out a few Bibles
Speaker 1: wouldn't hurt either, well, James, I like the creativity. I'm
Speaker 1: not sure that that would have the intended effect, but
Speaker 1: I can appreciate where your where your head's at. Uh,
Speaker 1: let's see, year we have Eric a lot of cultural
Speaker 1: appropriation talk. Eric rets, isn't cultural appropriation what America is
Speaker 1: all about? Give me your huddled masses? Well, absolutely are.
Speaker 1: This is why I've been saying cultural appropriation cannot be defined,
Speaker 1: cannot be enforced, cannot even be understood. What is it?
Speaker 1: What should we do about it? And what punishment should
Speaker 1: there be for those who disagree or refused to play
Speaker 1: by the rules. There's no answers to these questions. It's
Speaker 1: it's total nonsense. It's emotion and virtue signaling masquerading as
Speaker 1: some kind of cultural sensitivity. So uh, you know, and
Speaker 1: and America is all about cultural appropriation. That's what we've done.
Speaker 1: We took all the we we took all the best
Speaker 1: stuff from Great Britain. We've taken all the best traditions
Speaker 1: from all kinds of cultures all over the world in
Speaker 1: terms of food and clothing and commerce and you know everything.
Speaker 1: That's what we're all about here. And this is true
Speaker 1: if if you go back in into antiquity, even there's
Speaker 1: a tremendous amount of borrowing for all of the great
Speaker 1: powers of the world that have gone. And we we
Speaker 1: think of China as this monolithic state. For example, China
Speaker 1: for thousands of years has just been people coming and
Speaker 1: going in different groups and different languages, and uh, it's
Speaker 1: we we think of it as much more of a
Speaker 1: solidified mass, cultural and otherwise than it than it is. Um.
Speaker 1: But that's just one example. I mean ancient Rome. You
Speaker 1: know they they used to have the short sword, right,
Speaker 1: So ancient Rome was all about the short sword, and
Speaker 1: then they fought enough barbarians where they decided, um that
Speaker 1: they would get a longer sword. So you know, people
Speaker 1: change these things. That the Gladius was the short sword, right,
Speaker 1: and then they switched to a longer sword after fighting
Speaker 1: all these barbarians up in Gaulan elsewhere. So you just
Speaker 1: you know, you steal stuff from people. When it works,
Speaker 1: you steal it. So culturally, I don't mean I don't
Speaker 1: mean objects. I'm not advocating fevery here. So we have
Speaker 1: so many more wonderful notes here. I'm trying to pick
Speaker 1: them as we go through. Wayne. Right, it's great reminder
Speaker 1: of the haymarket affair on May Day. Thanks for pointing
Speaker 1: out the anarchist a k occupy movement, which devolved from
Speaker 1: an anti monarchy movement in Europe to its numerous permutations
Speaker 1: of today. I enjoy your cooking and food discussions and
Speaker 1: voices and accents right now I'm hearing you do bro
Speaker 1: caw wow. Interestingal want I'll thank you Wayne for listening
Speaker 1: to my radio show. Bro call. Third female accuser, by
Speaker 1: the way, has come forward. All those people that wrote
Speaker 1: that letter. I'm just wondering, are all there are all
Speaker 1: three of the women lying or you know? But I digress.
Speaker 1: But Wayne, thank you anyeah. I like going to just
Speaker 1: some of the history deep dives here and there, so
Speaker 1: I'm glad you enjoyed it. Uh one more here, Lieutenant Doug.
Speaker 1: Not to be confused, Lieutenant Dan, although both great patriots
Speaker 1: and great Americans. Plus one for Kong Fury mentioned from
Speaker 1: yesterday's show. It's an over the top thirty minute action
Speaker 1: short that is steeped in all the best parts of
Speaker 1: the eighties, from a Lamborghini kumtosh to the hacker with
Speaker 1: all the dial up with the dial up modem, to
Speaker 1: the l a detective with a black belt and to
Speaker 1: take no prisoner's attitude. It just doesn't get better than this,
Speaker 1: suggested as paired with your second glass of G four
Speaker 1: tequila of the evening. Doug, great message and love the
Speaker 1: product placement in the roll call. Uh so yes, I
Speaker 1: you know, right now pouring a glass of G four
Speaker 1: for you in my my head, and I would just
Speaker 1: say that it was amazing how many uh American detectives
Speaker 1: new karate in the nineties, right, police detectives. Everybody knew karate.
Speaker 1: You go back and you look, You're like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: of course they look karate. And you know, I think
Speaker 1: that that's one of the uh one of the sad
Speaker 1: things about modern American cinemas that we've all kind of
Speaker 1: figured out that you don't just sit at a desk
Speaker 1: all day and then also you're like the best guy
Speaker 1: in the world that throwing high kicks. There's actually some
Speaker 1: stuff that goes into uh high kicking. All right, that's
