Speaker 1: You're listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Let make
Speaker 1: sure you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeartRadio app
Speaker 1: or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 2: Hey, welcome to the Buck Brief. It is Trump versus
Speaker 2: Lindsay Graham on the abortion issue. Let's talk about this.
Speaker 2: So Trump puts out his position for the election on abortion,
Speaker 2: and it is that it is a state's issue or
Speaker 2: an issue that will be left to the states to determine.
Speaker 2: Now I have made it clear. I think that legally, constitutionally,
Speaker 2: I think that is the correct that is the correct
Speaker 2: decision politically morally. That's where we can start to have
Speaker 2: I think more of a debate or an argument. But
Speaker 2: Lindsey Graham, to be clear, says essentially, and you know what,
Speaker 2: I can actually pull it up for you. Lindsey Graham
Speaker 2: says that he respectfully disagrees with Trump on this issue
Speaker 2: and that the pro life issue is about saving lives,
Speaker 2: not about Dobbs is not required.
Speaker 1: This is the actual quote. Dobbs does not required.
Speaker 2: The conclusion legally in the pro life movement has always
Speaker 2: been about the well being of the unborn.
Speaker 1: Child, not geography.
Speaker 2: So what does Lindsay Graham recommend if you pass a
Speaker 2: federal law at sixteen weeks. First of all, it shouldn't
Speaker 2: be a federal law because there's no role for the
Speaker 2: federal government in abortion. There should not be. And beyond that,
Speaker 2: the Democrats then will just the second that they can,
Speaker 2: they will change the law to make sure that abortion
Speaker 2: is effectively what it was under the Row regime. But
Speaker 2: there's no chance in hell of actually getting anything passed anyway, right,
Speaker 2: so you're going to need sixty votes. You're not going
Speaker 2: to be able to do it with the Barre majority
Speaker 2: in the Senate. So it's a fool's errand to try
Speaker 2: to pass this federal legislation. And if the federal the
Speaker 2: federal legislation is not for a national abortion ban, that's,
Speaker 2: you know, not what's going to certainly that's never going
Speaker 2: to go through. I think Lindsay Graham, for anyone who's
Speaker 2: paying attention, is a grandstander. I think he grandstands for
Speaker 2: the cameras. I think that he is more of a
Speaker 2: Fox News contributor than he is a senator. In many ways,
Speaker 2: he spends more time going on Fox shows and making
Speaker 2: promises that he has no intention of keeping. And you know,
Speaker 2: He's also a guy who's never seen a war that
Speaker 2: he didn't want somebody else, somebody else to fight.
Speaker 1: In his you know, in his place. He's not going
Speaker 1: to go fight any of these wars. So I don't know.
Speaker 2: Obviously have a lot of respect for Lindsay Graham, but
Speaker 2: I also on this issue, I don't understand what he thinks.
Speaker 2: So his his preferred position would be for President Trump
Speaker 2: to do what exactly what would the move be. Senator
Speaker 2: Lindsey Graham introduced the Protecting Pain Capable Unborn Children from
Speaker 2: Late Term Abortions Act. Legislation would set a federal minimum
Speaker 2: protection for unborn children fifteen weeks. But that legalizes abortion
Speaker 2: for the first four months. So you're going to pass
Speaker 2: a federal law and whenever to think about this for
Speaker 2: a second, you're going to pass a federal law that
Speaker 2: Trump would sign as a Republican, that Republicans would go
Speaker 2: along with that. Abortion for the first four months is okay.
Speaker 2: That's when a majority of the abortions are occurring anyway,
Speaker 2: vast majority from what I understand, And that's supposed.
Speaker 1: To be a victory to pass the federal law.
Speaker 2: All they'll do is change that federal law, and they'll
Speaker 2: start moving how many weeks it is around, but you
Speaker 2: will effectively have had Republicans declare that abortion most of
Speaker 2: the time fine and should be federally protected.
Speaker 1: That's insane. That is insane.
Speaker 2: There are some states that have effectively outlawed abortion now
Speaker 2: depends on where you are, and there are others that
Speaker 2: I think will follow suit in time or will dramatically
Speaker 2: restrict abortion in real ways, just for what Trump says,
Speaker 2: for example, life of the mother, rape insists life of
Speaker 2: the mother, things like that. So, I mean, Lindsey Graham,
Speaker 2: I don't know what he thinks he's accomplishing here, but
Speaker 2: if you pass a federal law that codifies abortion for
Speaker 2: all fifty states being legal for the first sixteen weeks
Speaker 2: or fifteen weeks of a pregnancy, you're federally codifying abortion.
Speaker 1: Like what is he doing? I mean, the one thing
Speaker 1: for me to.
Speaker 2: Say we should have a federal law banning all abortions.
Speaker 2: To that, I'd say, well, that's a consistent, a morally
Speaker 2: consistent and principled position, no doubt that everybody knows, has
Speaker 2: absolutely zero chance of becoming the law in this country,
Speaker 2: no chance at all. Okay, so you can't even get
Speaker 2: all the Republicans to go along with that, and so
Speaker 2: the idea that you would be able to get sixty senators,
Speaker 2: which is what it would require, it's not going to happen. Okay,
Speaker 2: So that's not what he's advocating for. To say that
Speaker 2: you should have you would have if Trump had done
Speaker 2: with Lindsay Graham wanted and said, yeah, he wants a
Speaker 2: fifteen week abortion ban or the line is at fifteen weeks.
Speaker 2: If Trump had done that, you would have two pro
Speaker 2: choice presidential candidates to choose from, one just being slightly
Speaker 2: less pro choice than the other.
Speaker 1: That's it.
Speaker 2: There wouldn't even be a pro life candidate at least
Speaker 2: with what Trump is saying is, look, I want to
Speaker 2: advocate for life and for protections for babies as much
Speaker 2: as possible. It's not a federal issue, but states. He's
Speaker 2: going to encourage states to be as restrictive as they
Speaker 2: can be under their state constitution and with the will
Speaker 2: of the people represented. That to me is a far
Speaker 2: better position to be in. You know what, this is
Speaker 2: the thing for the people that want a maxim maximalist
Speaker 2: position on this issue, I want to know what.
Speaker 1: Do they want?
Speaker 2: Trump to say, because if the answer is an abortion
Speaker 2: ban after fifteen weeks, that means that most abortions are
Speaker 2: fine and legal, and Trump would be signing off on that. Federally,
Speaker 2: the federal government would be guaranteeing your right to an abortion.
Speaker 2: It would override states that have outlawed abortions. So this
Speaker 2: is a horrible idea, a horrible idea in every respect.
Speaker 2: And you know, it feels a little bit sometimes like
Speaker 2: the pro life movement, which I've certainly been a supporter
Speaker 2: of for twenty some odd years now of my life
Speaker 2: and basically as long as I've been an adult, as
Speaker 2: long as I've really thought about politics, I think the
Speaker 2: pro life movement is feeling a little caught off are
Speaker 2: by just what's happened in some of these states where
Speaker 2: people have been able to vote on this and it
Speaker 2: has not been going our way. But I think I
Speaker 2: think Trump has taken the right position on this politically
Speaker 2: and legally, and for people say, well, he should have
Speaker 2: taken the right position or the perfect position ethically, politics
Speaker 2: isn't about what's perfect. Unfortunately, you know, you save the
Speaker 2: lives you can. You know, we would never go to
Speaker 2: war because we killed us in people. We'd never go
Speaker 2: to war if we didn't, if we didn't recognize that,
Speaker 2: we would make mistakes and there'd be people who were killed. Right,
Speaker 2: But you do the best you can. You do the
Speaker 2: best you can. There are trade offs that have to
Speaker 2: be made, and I think that Trump is making the
Speaker 2: right trade off here. That's that's at least how I
Speaker 2: see it. And I think it's going to continue to Oh,
Speaker 2: it's going to continue to be pretty tense. I think
Speaker 2: that much is obviously also the case. So with that,
Speaker 2: my friends, I'm going to be diving.
Speaker 1: What do I have next year? Anyway?
Speaker 2: Lindsay Graham, Oh, Sonny Houston is Sunny hostin the single
Speaker 2: the single dumbest person on television. That's a bold thing.
Speaker 2: That's a big deal to be the dumbest on television.
Speaker 2: We'll get to that in a second. But you know,
Speaker 2: more Americans are buying gold than at any time I
Speaker 2: can think of. Some are even trying to buy it
Speaker 2: at big box stores like Costco.
Speaker 1: This is real.
Speaker 2: A new Gallup poll has Americans saying purchasing gold is
Speaker 2: a better investment than stocks and bonds, and no surprise,
Speaker 2: the price of gold is up by about thirteen percent.
Speaker 2: The price and value of gold is directly connected to
Speaker 2: world events and has only grown in value over time,
Speaker 2: one of many reasons why I own gold as part
Speaker 2: of my financial plan. Holds value over time and it
Speaker 2: steadily increases. Whether you're contending with regional bank closures in
Speaker 2: our nation or global instability and conflicts abroad, owning gold
Speaker 2: will benefit you. I rely on the Oxford Gold Group
Speaker 2: for my gold and precious metals purchases. Nobody can predict
Speaker 2: the future, but you can take action today to prepare
Speaker 2: for it. That's what owning gold and silver can do
Speaker 2: for you. Call the Oxford Gold Group right now. You
Speaker 2: may qualify for up to ten thousand dollars in free
Speaker 2: pre medals eight three three nine nine five gold A
Speaker 2: three three nine nine five g O l D eight
Speaker 2: three three nine nine five gold. So here is the view,
Speaker 2: which still has millions of people that watch it. I
Speaker 2: think a couple million people watch it every day. Generally
Speaker 2: the level of conversation is remarkably stupid. But here is
Speaker 2: Sonny Hostin, who I think is supposed to be the
Speaker 2: smart one at the table, which is pretty funny, or
Speaker 2: or among the smarter ones. Certainly she has a she
Speaker 2: has a law degree. Doesn't really say that much about
Speaker 2: the bar exam, I suppose, but she has a law
Speaker 2: degree and was a practicing lawyer for a while. So anyway,
Speaker 2: she we had an earthquake recently, and as you know,
Speaker 2: we had the eclipse.
Speaker 1: Oh, the eclipse. And here is what she.
Speaker 3: Said leaving we've got a solar eclipse. We've got random
Speaker 3: the hallway is here, as here. And then also I
Speaker 3: learned that the socatas are coming Cicada. It is the
Speaker 3: first time in two different Well this is what I've read,
Speaker 3: two different times, different kinds of different times. Times are
Speaker 3: coming the good for the first time in many many years.
Speaker 3: Every seventeen years has happened. Well, that's not what I read.
Speaker 3: But maybe you know, make you know better.
Speaker 1: But in a way, say.
Speaker 3: All those all those things together, what maybe need one
Speaker 3: to believe that you know, either climate change exists that
Speaker 3: or something is quite not at the mercy of climate change,
Speaker 3: it's underground. I don't think that it happens the eclipse.
Speaker 3: They've known about the eclipse coming, because the eclipses happened.
Speaker 2: Now to think that climate change is somehow the cause
Speaker 2: of the eclipse, Think about how ignorant and incapable of
Speaker 2: basic thought processes.
Speaker 1: You'd have to be for that.
Speaker 2: I mean, but this isn't just something that should be
Speaker 2: dismissed out of hand, because clearly she wants to make
Speaker 2: it about something that fits within her framework for how
Speaker 2: she approaches everything, which is, Oh my gosh, the evil people.
Speaker 2: I'm a victim climate change. They're not stopping climate change.
Speaker 2: It's causing the eclipse. And ultimately, you can never underestimate
Speaker 2: the ignorance and the narcissism of these leftist pundit types
Speaker 2: because they really suffer overwhelmingly from a personality series of
Speaker 2: personality disorders, I mean mental The mental health of the
Speaker 2: left wing commentariat is not strong. That's very obvious if
Speaker 2: you pay attention to how anxiety and fear rules their
Speaker 2: lives all the time. But the idea that there is
Speaker 2: an effect one degree celsius they may have over the
Speaker 2: next fifty years or something like that, the climate change, folks, one.
Speaker 1: Degree celsius, Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2: And then that would affect where the sun and the
Speaker 2: moon are, because right, the moon blocks out the sun.
Speaker 2: That's the eclipse. That is completely insane. Right, how would
Speaker 2: our climate here affect the trajectory.
Speaker 1: Of the moon in the sun.
Speaker 2: Even Joy Behar has to jump in and be like,
Speaker 2: hold on a second, You're not that stupid.
Speaker 1: That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard, you know, Oh
Speaker 1: you can't just say these things.
Speaker 2: She jumps in and she's like, well, that has nothing
Speaker 2: to do with it. So, I mean, maybe joy Bahar
Speaker 2: is the smart one at the table. I suppose there's
Speaker 2: that possibility. But once you understand the climate, the climate
Speaker 2: cult is very it is very much a cult. I
Speaker 2: mean that's not a I'm not just disparaging them with
Speaker 2: that term. I'm accurately describing them. They deeply believe in
Speaker 2: this in a religious sense, and it's brilliant for them
Speaker 2: because it allows them a narrative where they're the hero,
Speaker 2: where they're saving the world, where anyone who opposes them
Speaker 2: as a bad person and they don't have to do anything,
Speaker 2: they don't have to do anything. So for a lot
Speaker 2: of leftists out there, this is a very enticing, very
Speaker 2: enticing option to believe in this stuff. That's why they'll
Speaker 2: say things like this because it's about it's a faith
Speaker 2: based tradition, if you will. It's not about science. It's
Speaker 2: not about reason or logic, and that's how you can
Speaker 2: think that climate change.
Speaker 1: Affected the eclipse.
Speaker 2: So here on the podcast, I try to cut through
Speaker 2: the noise, the nonsense, the ulterior motive, so we can
Speaker 2: uncover the truth that no one else is going to
Speaker 2: tell you. And that's also what my colleague Mark Chakin does,
Speaker 2: but he does it for the US stock market. Mark
Speaker 2: worked on Wall Street for fifty years, and across those
Speaker 2: decades he invented three new indices for the Nasdaq and
Speaker 2: has predicted some of the biggest market shifts of the
Speaker 2: past decade, including the recent mania in AI stocks. Mark
Speaker 2: says the majority of Americans are about to miss out
Speaker 2: on a critical turning point in this AI frenzy. He's
Speaker 2: calling this a new dawn for US stocks, and Mark
Speaker 2: predicts dozens of specific companies will be impacted in just
Speaker 2: the next ninety days. That's why Mark has agreed to
Speaker 2: share one of his favorite AI stocks for you to
Speaker 2: buy now. He put everything you need to know at
Speaker 2: a new presentation you can watch for free at twenty
Speaker 2: twenty four aistock dot com. That's twenty twenty four aistock
Speaker 2: dot com. You'll see Mark's favorite AI stocks right now
Speaker 2: when you go to twenty twenty four aistock dot com
Speaker 2: paid for by Chakin Analytics.
Speaker 1: So we got the eclipse over with? What else?
Speaker 2: Did I have any anything, anything fun to tell you
Speaker 2: about from the weekend. I've been watching The Crown and
Speaker 2: I've got to say it's very good television. But they're clear,
Speaker 2: the showrunners clear hostility toward Margaret Thatcher is just so annoying.
Speaker 2: Obviously far left wing politics for the people that are
Speaker 2: running this because the only the only prime ministers think
Speaker 2: about this. The only prime ministers in the Crow who
Speaker 2: are represented in kind of a negative light are Winston
Speaker 2: Churchill and Margaret Thatcher, the complete idiot nincome poop, destroy
Speaker 2: the country's economy, socialist buffoons in between, although Anthony Eden's conservative,
Speaker 2: you know, he gets rough stuff too, but of course
Speaker 2: he's a conservative. But all the other all the other
Speaker 2: prime ministers that come in between, they're treated like they're great.
Speaker 2: Oh they're great, you know Harold Wilson, Oh he's great.
Speaker 2: What what It's absurd, it's absurd. But beyond that, forget
Speaker 2: about the fact that they're they don't really show Margaret
Speaker 2: Thatcher in a in a light that.
Speaker 1: I think shows her brilliance and her talent properly. But
Speaker 1: beside that, I think that the Iron Lady was awesome.
Speaker 2: Obviously, the British Royal Families is going to be gone
Speaker 2: in fifty years, maybe less. They're gonna they're gonna scale
Speaker 2: it down. But you can't have this story tale, uh,
Speaker 2: this story time fairy tale with this this really loadsome.
Speaker 1: Twerp.
Speaker 2: The current King of England, Charles, It's it's pathetic. The
Speaker 2: whole thing is pathetic now. I think it's very obvious
Speaker 2: to anybody who even briefly investigates it. Plenty of other
Speaker 2: European countries had monarchies that have kind of faded away
Speaker 2: into total irrelevance or don't even exist anymore at all,
Speaker 2: and that's where Britain is heading. It's just an anachronism.
Speaker 2: It's they were able to ride the wave of celebrity
Speaker 2: culture in the twentieth century a bit, but the whole
Speaker 2: thing's going to come apart. That's what I think when
Speaker 2: I'm watching The Crown and people love to think about this,
Speaker 2: Oh it's like a fairy tale.
Speaker 1: No, not really.
Speaker 2: They're just a bunch of narcissistics, spoiled brats, it's not
Speaker 2: really a fairy tale at all. Not impressed by any
Speaker 2: of them, don't like any of them. Think the whole
Speaker 2: thing is pretty pathetic. It is a great show, though
Speaker 2: very entertaining. I'll give you that more tomorrow. Team, Thanks
