Michael PALKI here, 0:01:36.800 --> 0:01:39.759 I think Bucks in a plane somewhere thirty thousand feet 0:01:39.880 --> 0:01:43.600 over the nation in the flyover state region right now. 0:01:43.640 --> 0:01:46.240 So I'm here. I'm here for the night. I expect 0:01:46.280 --> 0:01:49.520 you to participate. You guys know the rules. You've been 0:01:49.560 --> 0:01:51.840 here when I've been here. If you haven't, if you're 0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:54.240 just tuning in for the first time and picking me up, 0:01:54.280 --> 0:01:57.400 filling in from my buddy Bucks Sexton, we go way back, 0:01:58.360 --> 0:02:01.560 way back to the early days of the Blaze. The 0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:03.920 Blaze dot Com. A matter of fact, today is kind 0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:07.360 of a bit of a Blaze anniversary. If we look 0:02:07.400 --> 0:02:11.760 at two thousand and ten, it was just a couple 0:02:11.800 --> 0:02:16.720 of days before the Blaze launched. The Blaze launched and 0:02:16.880 --> 0:02:22.480 a soft launch on August two thousand and ten, and 0:02:22.520 --> 0:02:28.160 then went full full on in UH September, and that 0:02:28.280 --> 0:02:35.040 was the Blaze dot com. But twenty August was the 0:02:36.080 --> 0:02:40.120 rally on the Mall in Washington, d C. A rally 0:02:40.240 --> 0:02:42.839 that so many people took exception to. But a couple 0:02:42.960 --> 0:02:47.880 hundred thousand people gathered on the mall by the reflection 0:02:48.080 --> 0:02:52.679 pool and the steps underneath the Lincoln Monument and UH 0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:57.040 Glenn Beck led a rally called Restoring Honor, and I 0:02:57.160 --> 0:02:59.160 was part of it. I was there, I covered it. 0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:02.160 I was part of a group called the Project, and 0:03:02.200 --> 0:03:05.480 then shortly thereafter joined the Blaze dot com. It was 0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:11.200 an amazing day because CBS News insisted there were about 0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:15.040 seventy thousand people there, and if you looked at the 0:03:15.200 --> 0:03:20.160 estimates from the parks, the National Park Service, they talked 0:03:20.200 --> 0:03:22.880 about a couple of hundred thousand people, and there were 0:03:22.919 --> 0:03:25.080 folks who said it was a half a million people. 0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:27.960 I will tell you from being there in the middle 0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:33.360 of it that rally, that event, Restoring Honor, probably had 0:03:33.720 --> 0:03:39.040 between two fifty and two people. Just looking at the 0:03:39.080 --> 0:03:43.440 crowd density on both sides, of the monument and being 0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:46.400 a part of an amazing day. When we left them 0:03:46.400 --> 0:03:50.200 all that day, it was cleaner than when we got there. 0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:52.440 I kid you not. The people who showed up were 0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:55.520 told it's not about the tea party, it's not about 0:03:55.560 --> 0:03:58.640 wearing your little tri corner hats. We don't want signs. 0:03:59.160 --> 0:04:01.920 We just want to be there to talk about restoring 0:04:02.240 --> 0:04:06.720 honor to America. And I posted a link back to 0:04:06.840 --> 0:04:09.880 a video that I put up the next day, a 0:04:10.000 --> 0:04:12.200 video with a song my brother wrote, I have a 0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:15.240 brother who's a composer. So if you haven't seen I 0:04:15.880 --> 0:04:19.680 hear America calling. It's out there. But this is also 0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:24.760 the fifty five anniversary of an even more famous and 0:04:24.839 --> 0:04:29.960 more important obviously by many, many multiples over, a more 0:04:29.960 --> 0:04:34.400 important speech delivered in the same location as the Restoring 0:04:34.560 --> 0:04:40.920 Honor event in Nree on August, the Reverend Dr Martin 0:04:41.040 --> 0:04:44.760 Luther King Jr. Gave his I Have a Dream speech 0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:49.280 in Washington, d C. I was a very young boy 0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:52.200 at the time, and we watched it as a family 0:04:52.240 --> 0:04:55.200 growing up in Chicago. It was a very big deal. 0:04:55.839 --> 0:04:58.680 I remember my parents talking about Dr King, and I 0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:02.720 remember that speech being important growing up and it's not 0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:06.600 that long. So I will tell you I encourage you 0:05:06.800 --> 0:05:11.000 as as citizens of this great country. If you've never 0:05:11.080 --> 0:05:15.719 watched the whole thing, go to the YouTube and watch it. Yes, 0:05:15.800 --> 0:05:19.960 I said the YouTube's intentionally, but go to the YouTube's 0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:24.800 and watch it. It is nothing short of inspiring. If 0:05:24.880 --> 0:05:28.800 Dr King's words about America and what we are supposed 0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:31.560 to be do not strike a chord with you, you 0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:35.560 need to get to the doctor immediately. And my my 0:05:35.680 --> 0:05:38.240 favorite moment from it, I think a lot of a 0:05:38.279 --> 0:05:40.160 lot of folks favorite moment. I'll just give you a 0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:42.800 little snippet from right in the middle of it. It's 0:05:42.920 --> 0:05:45.960 it's not even twenty minutes long. Out of your day. 0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:49.520 You owe it to yourself to watch history as it 0:05:49.640 --> 0:05:52.360 was recorded. But here's a little bit of Dr King's 0:05:52.480 --> 0:06:01.719 dream speech from this day, fifty five years ago. Live 0:06:02.000 --> 0:06:06.960 poor little children one day live in a nation where 0:06:07.000 --> 0:06:09.760 they will not be judged by the color of about skin, 0:06:09.920 --> 0:06:15.000 but by the concenterback character. I have a breath. Imagine 0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:19.800 imagine seeing all those faces on the mall in Washington, 0:06:19.920 --> 0:06:24.360 d C. A massive crowd extending past the reflection pond 0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:27.839 all the way back to the Washington Monument and Dr 0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:32.919 King Stanley there giving that iconic address that really wasn't 0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:35.760 just for those people there, it was for the entire nation. 0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:39.200 An amazing moment. I know, I get all all fired 0:06:39.279 --> 0:06:43.080 up about this, but these are the moments in American 0:06:43.200 --> 0:06:46.960 history that tell me just how great of a nation 0:06:47.120 --> 0:06:50.000 we are. It's not the days when we saw the 0:06:50.040 --> 0:06:53.440 fighting on cable TV. It's not the name calling we see, 0:06:53.680 --> 0:06:58.360 it's not what I I lost my mind over ESPN today, 0:06:58.760 --> 0:07:04.400 Tiger Woods was asked if and Tiger Woods was asked 0:07:04.720 --> 0:07:08.240 to make a comment on the president. Tiger Woods a 0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:11.560 guy whose job it is to hit a little white 0:07:11.560 --> 0:07:16.280 ball over grass and then followed the little white ball 0:07:16.800 --> 0:07:19.880 and hit it fewer times than other guys hitting the 0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:22.400 little white ball, and if he does it the fewest, 0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:26.440 he gets a giant check. That's Tiger woods job. He's 0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:31.240 not a schooled political scientist. He's not someone who studied 0:07:31.760 --> 0:07:35.120 at at Harvard or at Princeton or Yale or any 0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:39.840 of the the institutions of great political learning in our country. 0:07:40.360 --> 0:07:43.160 So when Tiger Woods is asked about President Trump, and 0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:45.840 he says, I think we need to respect the office. 0:07:46.600 --> 0:07:51.800 And Stephen A. Smith and Max Kellerman lose their minds 0:07:51.920 --> 0:07:55.559 and basically speak out in complete contradiction to what Dr 0:07:55.680 --> 0:08:00.720 King just talked about. I lose my mind. I lose, 0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:03.840 absolutely lose my mind. And I go back to a 0:08:03.960 --> 0:08:09.320 statement I made on Twitter earlier today. I remember when 0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:14.360 MTV was music television. I remember when A and E 0:08:14.800 --> 0:08:19.160 was arts and entertainment and not the Kardashians. But I 0:08:19.240 --> 0:08:24.120 remember when the History Channel actually taught history. But the 0:08:24.120 --> 0:08:28.160 the ESPN channel has fallen off the beam and is 0:08:28.240 --> 0:08:31.640 no longer really focused on sports. Instead, they appear to 0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:35.480 be focused on politics. So when we we have this 0:08:35.640 --> 0:08:41.439 moment with Max Kellerman and Stephen A. Smith melting down, 0:08:41.760 --> 0:08:43.760 I should give you a little bit of that one too, 0:08:43.800 --> 0:08:49.120 because this happened on ESPN. This is Kellerman and Stephen A. Smith, 0:08:49.120 --> 0:08:50.960 two guys who are paid a whole lot of money 0:08:51.080 --> 0:08:56.440 supposedly on a sports network, are going all political. And 0:08:56.520 --> 0:08:59.960 to me, it's progressive indoctrination. I letta say something abo 0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:05.160 what Tiger Woods say. It really bothers me. I don't 0:09:05.200 --> 0:09:07.960 I am angry at what Tiger Woods said because it 0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:10.880 is it is a thoughtless statement dressed up as a 0:09:10.880 --> 0:09:14.840 thoughtful statement. Tiger Woods chases a white ball over grass. 0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:18.320 Tiger Woods hits a white ball. He does it better 0:09:18.360 --> 0:09:22.760 than of the people on the planet. That's his job. 0:09:23.200 --> 0:09:25.280 His job is not to be a political pundit. But 0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:29.040 you go ahead, Max Kellerman, you accuse him of being thoughtless. 0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:32.600 Either holds in contempt the intelligence of the people who 0:09:32.640 --> 0:09:35.520 hear it, or else. It's just a stupid thing to say. 0:09:35.640 --> 0:09:37.760 Let me tell you what I mean the if to 0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:41.559 say that the office you must have respect for the office, 0:09:41.920 --> 0:09:45.840 Tiger be clear. Are you saying that the office therefore 0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:51.160 confers respect onto its occupant, it's present temporary occupant. No, 0:09:51.600 --> 0:09:55.360 what the what the having respect for the office means, principally, 0:09:55.400 --> 0:09:58.040 in my view, is the office holders should have respect 0:09:58.040 --> 0:10:00.720 for the office. We are all set to a standard, 0:10:00.720 --> 0:10:03.440 were held to a standard of behavior. We had our 0:10:03.520 --> 0:10:07.400 jobs right, people in their in their daily lives. The president, 0:10:07.440 --> 0:10:09.920 if anything, is held to a higher standard of behavior. 0:10:10.000 --> 0:10:12.600 It is not such that we have such great respect 0:10:12.600 --> 0:10:14.880 for the office that, no matter what the behavior of 0:10:14.880 --> 0:10:18.360 its occupant, we must therefore respect it's occupant because of 0:10:18.400 --> 0:10:22.200 the office. No, Tiger Woods is being you said, being 0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:25.480 slick here, he's being slick. We must respect the office. Therefore, 0:10:25.520 --> 0:10:28.319 that confers respect to the occupant. Tiger, is that what 0:10:28.400 --> 0:10:30.560 you're saying. If that's what you're saying, that is a 0:10:30.679 --> 0:10:35.760 stupid comment. So here's a sportscaster who is now suddenly 0:10:35.880 --> 0:10:41.400 a political prognosticator abundant if you will, saying that Tiger Woods, 0:10:41.400 --> 0:10:43.680 a guy who is not in politics at all. I 0:10:43.720 --> 0:10:48.520 don't ever remember him talking politics ever, is stupid because 0:10:48.520 --> 0:10:52.800 he wants us to respect the office of the presidency. 0:10:52.840 --> 0:10:58.000 But if you think that Max Kellerman has lowered the 0:10:58.040 --> 0:11:01.240 bar as far as it can go, Stephen A. Smith 0:11:01.520 --> 0:11:07.040 is about to play the race card and called Tiger Woods, well, 0:11:07.120 --> 0:11:10.760 he's not black. Listen, listen to this. Remember we just 0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:14.400 we just heard Dr King talking about the content of 0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:18.079 someone's character, not the color of their skin. That just happened. 0:11:18.120 --> 0:11:21.480 We just played you a clip from fifty five years ago. 0:11:21.640 --> 0:11:25.680 But all Stephen A. Smith can see is someone's color. 0:11:25.840 --> 0:11:28.880 And if you are a certain color, you are supposed 0:11:28.880 --> 0:11:33.280 to act a certain way. Apparently ESPN is telling us 0:11:33.840 --> 0:11:36.200 don't But I don't even know if he believes that. 0:11:36.200 --> 0:11:38.600 That's what all. We don't know what Tiger Woods believe. 0:11:38.679 --> 0:11:41.120 He's cambl Nation, He's not black when he got arrest. 0:11:41.400 --> 0:11:48.760 He's camblination, he's not black. What in the hell is that? 0:11:49.840 --> 0:11:55.760 Talk about categorizing people just based on their racial makeup. ESPN, 0:11:55.840 --> 0:12:01.719 you should be suspending at least these people for being racist. 0:12:02.080 --> 0:12:08.600 How dare you? He's chamblination, he's not black. This is 0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:12.520 the most embarrassing thing I've ever seen. And it's all 0:12:12.600 --> 0:12:16.840 because the progressive network owned by Disney, Yes, the mouse. 0:12:16.960 --> 0:12:20.160 Let's go right back to ABC and Stephanopolis and ABC 0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:24.080 News and the connections to the Clintons and the butt 0:12:24.120 --> 0:12:28.120 hurt liberals who are now still freaking out almost two 0:12:28.200 --> 0:12:32.120 years after Donald Trump won the election. They're just not 0:12:32.200 --> 0:12:34.960 going to give it up. And they've gotten so far 0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:39.520 as to lose their minds over Tiger Woods saying that 0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:45.200 we should respect the office of the presidency. I I 0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:48.440 just don't know what to say, people, I do not. 0:12:48.559 --> 0:12:52.160 I watched this and my eyes rolled so far back 0:12:52.280 --> 0:12:55.160 up in my head that I saw my own brain. 0:12:56.200 --> 0:12:59.199 It's just unbelievable. Am I wrong that I missed the 0:12:59.240 --> 0:13:02.520 boat on this one? Him? Is it okay? No, it's 0:13:02.559 --> 0:13:07.640 not okay. MTV has now become a progressive outlet preaching 0:13:07.800 --> 0:13:09.760 and they they're gonna do a big push for mid 0:13:09.880 --> 0:13:12.920 terms for the vote you watch. I know MTV gave 0:13:13.000 --> 0:13:15.320 us rock the vote back in the eighties. I was 0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:18.320 in the music video business. I know that I didn't 0:13:18.360 --> 0:13:20.439 mind it when it was just telling people get out 0:13:20.480 --> 0:13:22.720 to vote. When when you tell people how to vote 0:13:23.280 --> 0:13:27.800 and you're delivering messages on every program And now ESPN 0:13:28.280 --> 0:13:33.199 is is shaming Tiger Woods because he doesn't march in 0:13:33.360 --> 0:13:37.160 lock step with them, because gee, his color means he 0:13:37.280 --> 0:13:40.960 should be thinking this way, but he's not, so we 0:13:41.040 --> 0:13:44.600 have to call him out and say he's stupid. It's 0:13:44.679 --> 0:13:48.760 just unbelievable. Michael Pelka in for Buck Sexton tonight. You 0:13:48.800 --> 0:13:51.040 want to join the conversation. We have a lot to 0:13:51.080 --> 0:13:55.640 talk about. We're gonna get intoto the Catholic church story. 0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:58.760 Our buddy Emily's Anadi from the Daily Wire is going 0:13:58.800 --> 0:14:01.880 to talk to us. Uh, just in about forty five 0:14:01.920 --> 0:14:05.200 minutes or so. She's a big time Catholic. I'm a Catholic. 0:14:05.200 --> 0:14:08.280 I'm very upset about what's going on in my church obviously, 0:14:09.440 --> 0:14:13.920 and uh, something else happened on CNN. CNN another award 0:14:14.120 --> 0:14:17.000 of fake news, maybe two big awards of fake news. 0:14:17.280 --> 0:14:21.040 I'm talking about the Landy Davis story. And uh, if 0:14:21.080 --> 0:14:27.280 you missed Alison Camerata interviewing former Bush White House Chief 0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:31.240 of Staff Johnson UNW, former governor of New Hampshire, one 0:14:31.240 --> 0:14:35.480 of the elder statesmen in the GOP. Johnson UNW delivered 0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:39.840 a master class on how to deal with angry media. 0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:42.960 It's just brilliant. We'll get into that, but you can 0:14:43.040 --> 0:14:46.840 join the conversation. Eight four four Buck eight four four 0:14:47.040 --> 0:14:50.680 nine b U c K. Michael Pelka in for Buck 0:14:50.880 --> 0:15:01.800 on the Buck Sexton Show. It is the Buck Sexton Show. 0:15:01.880 --> 0:15:04.760 Michael Pelca filling in for Buck. He'll be back tomorrow 0:15:04.800 --> 0:15:09.960 somewhere over the Great United States Continental State Group, you know, 0:15:10.080 --> 0:15:15.000 the Contiguous States. Buck is probably in the air, winging 0:15:15.040 --> 0:15:20.440 at home from Calafornia. So I'll be here tonight and 0:15:20.560 --> 0:15:23.800 enjoying your company. I hope you're enjoying mine. I encourage 0:15:23.840 --> 0:15:26.320 you to participate in the conversation. You want to rant, 0:15:26.360 --> 0:15:28.320 you want to rave. I'll be doing a lot of 0:15:28.400 --> 0:15:33.240 ranting and raving and sharing thoughts thoughts for the day. 0:15:33.320 --> 0:15:36.920 I noticed Times Square had an evacuation today, and whenever 0:15:36.920 --> 0:15:40.080 I get a little alert on my phone, especially about 0:15:40.080 --> 0:15:43.440 Times Square. I lived in New York City, in Midtown 0:15:43.480 --> 0:15:48.040 Manhattan for twenty four years. I think it was right 0:15:48.080 --> 0:15:50.920 over by the U N so not far from Times Square. 0:15:51.320 --> 0:15:54.520 So when a news report pop saying Time Squares being evacuated, 0:15:54.600 --> 0:15:57.760 I'm like, what what could go on? You guys know 0:15:57.840 --> 0:16:00.560 Bucks history with helping to catch the Time Time Square 0:16:00.600 --> 0:16:04.360 bomber in his um his work with the New York 0:16:04.360 --> 0:16:09.000 City Task Force, the Terror Task Force, so I'm acutely 0:16:09.040 --> 0:16:13.360 attuned to that. And then I read it was a 0:16:13.440 --> 0:16:19.000 swarm of bees that took over a section around a 0:16:19.040 --> 0:16:23.120 hot dog stand in Times Square. And no, it's not 0:16:23.200 --> 0:16:25.920 the boobies that are there in Times Square, because we 0:16:26.000 --> 0:16:30.520 have that too. Since its summer. There are a bunch 0:16:30.560 --> 0:16:34.320 of young ladies who wear nothing but paint and panties 0:16:34.360 --> 0:16:38.080 and walk around Times Square asking for money from people, 0:16:38.320 --> 0:16:40.400 and people give it to them too. They also give 0:16:40.440 --> 0:16:44.960 him a lot of creepy looks. But bees, bees forced 0:16:44.960 --> 0:16:49.760 an evacuation in Times Square. Today, bees will swarm even 0:16:49.800 --> 0:16:53.520 in the concrete jungle of Midtown Manhattan, the crossroads of 0:16:53.560 --> 0:16:56.480 the world. If you will. I said I was gonna 0:16:56.480 --> 0:16:59.560 get after CNN, and I will. I need Time and 0:16:59.760 --> 0:17:02.720 a lot of time to get into the Alison Camerada 0:17:02.840 --> 0:17:05.919 Johnson new news story. So maybe we can just follow 0:17:06.040 --> 0:17:11.240 up on the Landi Davis story. Landi Davis a Clinton operative, 0:17:11.320 --> 0:17:15.720 a guy who has so so much tight links to 0:17:15.880 --> 0:17:19.960 the Clintons. There is no daylight between them. When we 0:17:19.960 --> 0:17:22.920 were kids in Catholic school, the nuns used to come 0:17:23.000 --> 0:17:25.680 up to guys and girls who were too close together 0:17:26.200 --> 0:17:31.160 and say, leave some room for the Holy Spirit. Well, 0:17:31.200 --> 0:17:35.240 between Landi Davis and the Clintons, there is no room 0:17:35.320 --> 0:17:39.080 for the Holy Spirit. I can guarantee you that. So 0:17:39.160 --> 0:17:43.280 when Landy Davis ends up as Michael Cohen's attorney, former 0:17:43.440 --> 0:17:48.879 Donald Trump attorney now plea copying guy. When Landy Davis 0:17:48.960 --> 0:17:52.320 ends up as Michael Cohen's attorney and I realize he's 0:17:52.359 --> 0:17:55.800 so close to the Clintons, every antenna on my body 0:17:55.960 --> 0:18:00.879 is going this is problems. Landi Davis puts a go 0:18:01.000 --> 0:18:03.880 fund Me campaign up to try and raise money so 0:18:04.280 --> 0:18:08.560 Avanadi's legal bills won't be too big. Kind of weasely 0:18:08.640 --> 0:18:11.960 thing to do, right, Yeah, I think so. And then 0:18:11.960 --> 0:18:15.800 he goes on after the Plea announcement, he goes down 0:18:16.000 --> 0:18:20.480 a media march and says and tells Axios and others 0:18:20.520 --> 0:18:26.320 that in fact, his client has more to say. His 0:18:26.400 --> 0:18:29.600 client has more to say, and there will be much more. 0:18:30.160 --> 0:18:37.679 So Lannie Davis really, um, I can't tell you what 0:18:37.680 --> 0:18:41.720 a weasel this guy is. He he told CNN one 0:18:41.800 --> 0:18:48.080 thing that in a bombshell report that Michael Cohen was 0:18:48.160 --> 0:18:51.240 prepared to tell Robert Moadonald Trump knew in advance of 0:18:51.320 --> 0:18:54.800 the Trump Tower meeting. Uh now he's saying that was wrong, 0:18:55.840 --> 0:19:01.560 and he and CNN we're saying anonymous so horses told 0:19:01.680 --> 0:19:06.880 him that anonymous sources sources being plural. It turns out 0:19:06.920 --> 0:19:10.639 that Landy Davis was the only source on this. Landy 0:19:10.760 --> 0:19:14.400 Davis is the guy behind it. Landy Davis has now 0:19:14.720 --> 0:19:18.160 lied to the mainstream media and now he's kind of 0:19:18.200 --> 0:19:22.719 walking it back, but CNN will not walk it back. 0:19:23.400 --> 0:19:27.400 CNN is still telling the world that they believe there 0:19:27.440 --> 0:19:32.800 are anonymous sources. Landi Davis is a big time liar, 0:19:32.960 --> 0:19:35.880 and CNN you know what you get on this one. 0:19:36.480 --> 0:19:38.880 You get a big fake news slap. We'll we'll get 0:19:38.920 --> 0:19:41.199 to more CNN fake news and what they did with 0:19:41.600 --> 0:19:45.720 Alison Camarada and Johnson Knew next on The buck Sexton 0:19:45.800 --> 0:19:55.040 Show with Michael Pelca. Michael Pelca here for buck Sexton, 0:19:56.119 --> 0:20:02.679 Buckleby back tomorrow, America, The Godfather in the House. I 0:20:03.040 --> 0:20:07.320 was I talking over the intro. I guess a little bit. 0:20:07.480 --> 0:20:11.600 I'm told Brandon, that's okay, a little bit. We have 0:20:11.640 --> 0:20:13.840 a lot to do tonight. I'm just itching to get 0:20:13.840 --> 0:20:16.399 to all the topics. I have to get to the 0:20:17.160 --> 0:20:20.240 question about the pot and the breast milk. I have 0:20:20.359 --> 0:20:22.320 to talk about that. We got to get to the 0:20:22.400 --> 0:20:28.520 Catholic thing. I'm ticked off at Peter uh omar Rossa, 0:20:28.600 --> 0:20:32.120 who we banned last week. She's trying to make herself 0:20:32.160 --> 0:20:35.080 relevant again. She says there's going to be a race war, 0:20:35.240 --> 0:20:38.560 that Trump wants a race war. Come on, go away, 0:20:38.640 --> 0:20:42.040 go back into your omar Rossa hole wherever you go. 0:20:42.280 --> 0:20:45.520 Isn't she supposed to be on a reality show somewhere, 0:20:45.600 --> 0:20:48.520 locked up for six or eight weeks, just hoping. I 0:20:48.560 --> 0:20:53.360 guess we'll get into that. Uh. There's some primaries happening tonight. 0:20:53.560 --> 0:20:56.000 I don't know full here out of Arizona while the 0:20:56.000 --> 0:21:00.480 show's on, but that's an interesting primary to watch. There's 0:21:00.560 --> 0:21:04.680 news out of the New York primary race for governor 0:21:04.720 --> 0:21:07.919 and the Texas race for Ted Cruises seat that we 0:21:07.960 --> 0:21:11.399 have to get into. Some funny stuff happening in there, 0:21:12.160 --> 0:21:17.960 the the the sex and the city lady who's running 0:21:18.000 --> 0:21:21.520 against Cuomo. And I think it's part of an Overton 0:21:21.640 --> 0:21:26.120 window move to shift that political window in New York 0:21:26.200 --> 0:21:29.680 just a little bit farther left. Cynthy Nixon had no 0:21:29.840 --> 0:21:33.399 chance in hell of ever getting elected in New York State, 0:21:34.119 --> 0:21:39.080 but her candidacy allows the Liberal Party to push the 0:21:39.119 --> 0:21:43.480 Overton window a little bit farther to the left, and 0:21:43.520 --> 0:21:49.680 it makes Cuomo look more palatable. I know that sounds machiavellian, 0:21:49.760 --> 0:21:51.359 doesn't And I know it sounds like it just a 0:21:51.359 --> 0:21:56.720 little too calculated, But I believe this Democratic Party is calculating. 0:21:57.520 --> 0:22:02.399 I believe Octavio Cortez, so that that's her name, Acasio Cortez. 0:22:03.320 --> 0:22:05.320 Why do I call her Octavio. I have a friend 0:22:05.400 --> 0:22:09.879 named Octavio. That's why I believe she's part of the plan. 0:22:11.080 --> 0:22:16.000 That they package it in an attractive vehicle so that 0:22:16.080 --> 0:22:19.120 people will go, well, you know, she says some things 0:22:19.160 --> 0:22:23.199 we could at behind, but she's so crazy. But I 0:22:23.240 --> 0:22:25.479 do think that in the case of the debate, so 0:22:25.680 --> 0:22:28.760 I know I got a d D momented there. In 0:22:28.800 --> 0:22:37.960 the case of these debates, the this woman Cynthy Nixon 0:22:38.840 --> 0:22:44.920 has now demanded that the temperature for the debate between 0:22:44.960 --> 0:22:50.200 herself and Governor Cuomo be seventy six degrees because it's 0:22:50.320 --> 0:22:55.359 sexist if the room is any cooler, I kid you not. 0:22:55.960 --> 0:22:59.440 I kid you not. That's what is going on. Synthing 0:22:59.560 --> 0:23:04.160 Nixon has now demanded that her debate against Governor Cuomo 0:23:04.720 --> 0:23:07.520 be in a room that's seventies six degrees because she's 0:23:07.520 --> 0:23:09.800 always so cold. Well, maybe if you would eat a 0:23:09.840 --> 0:23:12.879 sandwich and you wouldn't be just bones and skin, you 0:23:12.880 --> 0:23:17.080 wouldn't be cold all the time. I'm just saying, I 0:23:17.480 --> 0:23:19.800 don't believe she ever had a snowballs chance in hell. 0:23:19.880 --> 0:23:22.439 I think her campaign is being underwritten by the party 0:23:22.520 --> 0:23:25.840 to push the party farther left without making Cuomo come 0:23:25.880 --> 0:23:28.440 out and make those direct moves to the left. I'm 0:23:28.480 --> 0:23:31.240 just saying. And in the case of Ted Cruz against 0:23:31.280 --> 0:23:34.520 this guy Beato, whose name is not Beato, it's a 0:23:34.600 --> 0:23:37.359 made up name to make him sound more palatable to 0:23:37.520 --> 0:23:41.600 the Latino voters in Texas. The way that the New 0:23:41.680 --> 0:23:45.800 York Mayor Warren Wilhelm. Oh no, that's not the mayor. 0:23:45.880 --> 0:23:51.200 His real name is Warren Wilhelm. Build the Blasio changed 0:23:51.320 --> 0:23:57.880 his name to be more voter friendly. Same thing with Beato. 0:23:57.920 --> 0:24:01.920 Oh Rourke, he wanted to be one of the cool kids. 0:24:01.960 --> 0:24:06.200 But he was supposed to debate Ted Cruz this Friday. 0:24:06.520 --> 0:24:08.399 They were supposed to have the first of a series 0:24:08.480 --> 0:24:12.280 of debates in there their fight for the Senate in 0:24:12.359 --> 0:24:15.520 that seat in Texas. Now, the last time Ted Cruise 0:24:15.640 --> 0:24:19.320 was elected to the Senate in Texas, he won and 0:24:19.400 --> 0:24:22.800 it appeared to be a big margin of victory. But 0:24:23.520 --> 0:24:27.840 the Democrats identified eight counties in Texas, and eight counties 0:24:28.000 --> 0:24:32.639 is not a lot where Ted Cruz barely won. And 0:24:32.680 --> 0:24:38.080 they have driven voter registration specifically to Hispanic communities. And 0:24:38.160 --> 0:24:41.399 now you have a candidate named Beato who sounds like 0:24:41.600 --> 0:24:45.080 he might be a Hispanic man, doesn't he. They have 0:24:45.160 --> 0:24:49.760 targeted those eight counties in an effort to turn Texas blue. 0:24:50.359 --> 0:24:53.399 It was six years ago I was part of something 0:24:53.440 --> 0:24:58.000 called the test Studo project that was a Republican effort 0:24:58.040 --> 0:25:01.760 to fight the Democratic effort to turn Texas blue the 0:25:01.800 --> 0:25:06.000 way they turned Colorado purple. So this is going on 0:25:06.160 --> 0:25:09.840 the Democrats have been deeply engaged in trying to get 0:25:09.920 --> 0:25:13.000 rid of Ted Cruise for quite some time, and they 0:25:13.040 --> 0:25:17.200 had a plan the day he was elected. And now 0:25:17.240 --> 0:25:19.960 that plan is is coming into shape. The races within 0:25:20.119 --> 0:25:22.920 single digits, and there's a really good chance that Ted 0:25:23.000 --> 0:25:27.560 Cruz may not win that seat. So I'm telling you 0:25:27.640 --> 0:25:30.240 if you were engaged in the mid term elections, which 0:25:30.240 --> 0:25:33.880 were now less than seventy days away from if you're 0:25:33.880 --> 0:25:37.000 engaged and you're playing on voting, it is incumbent upon 0:25:37.200 --> 0:25:40.479 you if you want to retain the progress that we 0:25:40.520 --> 0:25:44.840 have made as a nation in both economic strength, military strength, 0:25:45.200 --> 0:25:48.480 the consumer confidence, the direction we are going. If you 0:25:48.520 --> 0:25:50.480 want to maintain it, it's up to you to take 0:25:50.520 --> 0:25:53.600 somebody to the polls with you. You need to drag 0:25:53.760 --> 0:25:59.040 somebody's but to vote on election day. All right, I'm 0:25:59.160 --> 0:26:01.199 done with my little ramped I didn't even get to 0:26:01.280 --> 0:26:03.959 the the CNN story, but I will get to that. 0:26:04.080 --> 0:26:07.440 I I know there's so much going on today, So 0:26:09.359 --> 0:26:12.119 I have another d n C story that we we 0:26:12.200 --> 0:26:14.760 have to jump into as well. The d n C. 0:26:15.119 --> 0:26:17.440 They are just making it too easy to make fun 0:26:17.440 --> 0:26:20.159 of themselves. And I hope, I hope I hope. I 0:26:20.240 --> 0:26:24.720 hope we can get we can keep the GOP on 0:26:24.840 --> 0:26:27.440 track to get through the midterms. I I still think 0:26:27.440 --> 0:26:29.520 there's a fairly decent chance we'll lose the House. And 0:26:29.560 --> 0:26:32.200 if we lose the House, you know what happens. Maxine 0:26:32.240 --> 0:26:36.760 Waters gets freed from Nancy Pelosi's basement where she's been 0:26:37.280 --> 0:26:40.119 for the last two months, and she starts up with 0:26:40.160 --> 0:26:43.439 her campaign again. Right I'm gonna say and peach forty 0:26:43.480 --> 0:26:47.560 five every day and page forty five every day, and 0:26:47.760 --> 0:26:51.200 page forty five every day. That's what's gonna happen if 0:26:51.280 --> 0:26:55.280 we don't make sure the blue wave is nothing but 0:26:55.440 --> 0:26:59.160 a trickle right now, I think it could go on 0:26:59.160 --> 0:27:02.560 one of two either way. It's a going flip right now. 0:27:03.160 --> 0:27:06.879 And if you believe the posters, it's a faith to complete, 0:27:07.400 --> 0:27:12.880 which means game over for the Trump train going full speed. Okay, now, 0:27:12.920 --> 0:27:20.080 what happened on CNN? What happened on CNN? Alison Camearrata 0:27:20.280 --> 0:27:24.320 had Johnson New Knew on the show on her show, 0:27:25.119 --> 0:27:28.399 and she invited Johnson now on the show to talk 0:27:28.440 --> 0:27:31.959 about John McCain. The life and legacy of John McCain. 0:27:32.080 --> 0:27:34.800 That was the title of the segment. So they talked 0:27:34.840 --> 0:27:37.960 about John McCain for a couple of minutes, and then 0:27:38.000 --> 0:27:42.240 Alison Camerata flip the script and we learned what she 0:27:42.440 --> 0:27:45.560 was really about. We learned what she was really going 0:27:45.640 --> 0:27:48.879 after check this out. So, Governor, what do you think 0:27:48.920 --> 0:27:55.080 about President Trump rejecting the practice of putting out an 0:27:55.160 --> 0:27:59.120 official White House statement about John McCain's service and sacrifice. 0:27:59.480 --> 0:28:01.879 So that that's the question, what do you think? So 0:28:01.960 --> 0:28:06.840 what do you think Johnson know about the President reject 0:28:06.960 --> 0:28:11.560 gang couldn't have same with any more animosity, rejecting the 0:28:11.600 --> 0:28:16.160 White House statement honoring John McCain's service and sacrifice. Well, 0:28:16.240 --> 0:28:20.080 this this story comes from a Washington Post story. The 0:28:20.080 --> 0:28:24.440 Washington Post claims Donald Trump rejected the White House statement 0:28:24.760 --> 0:28:29.439 praising John McCain, and CNN carried that water for the 0:28:29.480 --> 0:28:34.840 Washington Post. But Johnson now new delivers a masterclass in 0:28:35.040 --> 0:28:41.000 reflecting and deflecting and squashing cameraradius bias. Look that that 0:28:41.000 --> 0:28:43.560 that was printed in the Washington Post, And I have 0:28:43.640 --> 0:28:45.920 to be honest with you, I don't give much credence 0:28:45.960 --> 0:28:50.040 to what we also have that reporting. Yeah, well the 0:28:50.120 --> 0:28:54.920 same thing applies, Alice. He laughs as she says we 0:28:55.000 --> 0:29:01.280 also have that reporting. He chuckles and says, yeah, uh, 0:29:01.720 --> 0:29:05.880 the same thing applies, Allison. How do you not love 0:29:05.920 --> 0:29:10.320 this guy? But it didn't stop there, because now Alison 0:29:10.360 --> 0:29:12.840 Camerada delivered what she thought was going to be a 0:29:12.880 --> 0:29:16.640 gut punch to Johnson. Una, what do you think about this, 0:29:16.840 --> 0:29:21.400 Donald Trump rejecting a statement honoring John McCain? What are 0:29:21.440 --> 0:29:24.080 you thinking? He goes, well, Washington Post don't give too 0:29:24.200 --> 0:29:28.280 much credibility. Well, we reported that too, sir, and he 0:29:28.400 --> 0:29:32.120 laughs and says same to you. So now he just 0:29:32.280 --> 0:29:37.680 counterpunched and delivered a body blow verbal. Of course, I'm 0:29:37.680 --> 0:29:41.600 not advocating for violence at all, not against Allison Camerada 0:29:41.720 --> 0:29:45.160 or anyone at CNN. I could understand it, but I 0:29:45.200 --> 0:29:48.920 will not ever support it. But so here's Camerata. Now 0:29:49.560 --> 0:29:58.240 she's upset. You come on CNN, and we appreciate you 0:29:58.360 --> 0:30:01.000 coming on CNN, and we appreciate shape your take on it, 0:30:01.400 --> 0:30:05.240 but I don't appreciate you denigrating our reporting. I think 0:30:05.280 --> 0:30:07.640 that you know we have excellent reporters here. But are 0:30:07.720 --> 0:30:10.600 you saying that you don't want to believe that you 0:30:10.720 --> 0:30:13.560 don't want to believe that President Trump would do that 0:30:13.600 --> 0:30:16.360 about saying that I don't want to comment on a 0:30:16.440 --> 0:30:20.600 report that I haven't satisfied myself as correct. So Johnson 0:30:20.720 --> 0:30:25.760 Una came back with a gracious response to rather ungracious claim. 0:30:26.280 --> 0:30:30.360 She's dressing him down, Governor, and then she pauses for 0:30:30.400 --> 0:30:35.000 a couple of secons, you came in our house? How 0:30:35.440 --> 0:30:38.040 dare you? Sir? And he goes, look, all I'm saying 0:30:38.120 --> 0:30:40.200 is I don't know if the report to real. I 0:30:40.200 --> 0:30:41.920 don't know if I trusted, I don't know if I 0:30:41.960 --> 0:30:45.760 believe it. She still can't accept it, and she presses 0:30:45.880 --> 0:30:51.040 on if that report were true, I'm not going to 0:30:51.080 --> 0:30:54.640 answer the hypothetical. It's not hypothetical. This is our reporting. 0:30:54.880 --> 0:30:57.800 We have rock solid sources in the White House. There 0:30:57.880 --> 0:31:01.320 was a statement about you McCain. I'm here to talk 0:31:01.360 --> 0:31:04.920 about John McCain, as I remember him, I'm not here 0:31:04.920 --> 0:31:08.800 to talk about the press. Is handling of of a 0:31:08.840 --> 0:31:13.000 difference between the White House UH and the press corps 0:31:13.000 --> 0:31:18.280 at this time. So brilliant response again from Sunu, a 0:31:18.480 --> 0:31:21.479 statesman like response to say, are you invited me here 0:31:21.520 --> 0:31:24.720 to talk about John McCain. I'm not here to opine 0:31:25.320 --> 0:31:28.920 on a difference of opinion between the White House and 0:31:28.960 --> 0:31:32.200 the Press Corps, and she goes it's a difference of opinion. 0:31:32.520 --> 0:31:36.040 She still can't give it up. Talk about an ungracious host. 0:31:36.080 --> 0:31:38.400 But it gets a little worse. The press is handling 0:31:38.680 --> 0:31:43.040 it's President Trump's handling of John McCain's death. Look, John 0:31:43.120 --> 0:31:49.640 McCain was a great American who deserves to be recognized 0:31:49.680 --> 0:31:53.000 as a great American. Um he is being recognized by 0:31:53.040 --> 0:31:56.840 his colleagues, and the friends are his friends around Milandia. 0:31:56.840 --> 0:32:01.440 Trump has certainly put out an exceptionally strong statement outlining 0:32:01.480 --> 0:32:05.280 the appreciation for his service. The White House has recognized 0:32:05.640 --> 0:32:09.360 the sorrow of the family, and and I think Americans 0:32:09.400 --> 0:32:11.680 ought to be looking at the positive side, not trying 0:32:11.720 --> 0:32:16.360 to create a division amongst people who are in joint 0:32:17.040 --> 0:32:21.800 uh sorrow warning a great American. So another great statement, 0:32:22.320 --> 0:32:25.680 Johnson un basically laying it out. The White House put 0:32:25.680 --> 0:32:29.600 out Milania Trump's statement, the colleagues of John McCain or 0:32:29.680 --> 0:32:32.040 mourning him. If he saw today they were standing up 0:32:32.080 --> 0:32:34.200 and crying in the Senate. And fine, that's great, all 0:32:34.240 --> 0:32:35.880 well and good. You knew the guy, you loved him, 0:32:35.920 --> 0:32:40.120 you miss him. Alison Camearad of CNN cannot give it up. 0:32:40.200 --> 0:32:44.280 She continues, are you satisfied the President Trump's statement goes 0:32:44.320 --> 0:32:48.640 far enough? I suspect there'll be additional statements over time. 0:32:48.680 --> 0:32:52.040 And I think, Uh, this effort to try and create 0:32:52.080 --> 0:32:55.840 a cleavage there really does disturb me. So he said, 0:32:56.040 --> 0:32:59.720 this effort by you, the media, to try and create 0:32:59.800 --> 0:33:04.480 a cleavage there disturbs me. The word cleavage seemed to 0:33:04.520 --> 0:33:09.280 confuse Alison Camerata, and I I admit I've never used 0:33:09.280 --> 0:33:12.840 the word cleavage in that frame, in that reference. But 0:33:12.960 --> 0:33:18.360 John Sunu just delivered that. Camerata can't seem to quite 0:33:18.360 --> 0:33:23.920 get it, and she has to ask him to repeat it. 0:33:23.360 --> 0:33:29.760 That cleavage between the White House and and the and 0:33:30.280 --> 0:33:33.680 those that are morning John McCain. It is this effort 0:33:33.680 --> 0:33:37.280 by the press to accentuate the negative that I think 0:33:37.320 --> 0:33:41.120 has created the climate that prevents UH in the long term, 0:33:41.160 --> 0:33:47.040 the bipartisanship that John McCain supported. So Snu with another 0:33:47.240 --> 0:33:52.760 great statement, it's the press who is creating the spread 0:33:53.360 --> 0:33:57.120 between the two sides of the aisle. There's more to this, 0:33:57.360 --> 0:34:00.840 and there's more great I know, I know what's going on, 0:34:01.000 --> 0:34:03.120 but this you never get a moment like this with 0:34:03.240 --> 0:34:08.799 the CNN anchor acting this ridiculous more of Alison Camerata 0:34:09.000 --> 0:34:13.760 and her ridiculous meltdown, her attempts to shame Johnson UNU 0:34:13.880 --> 0:34:19.200 into attacking the President, which he did not sun a masterclass. 0:34:19.320 --> 0:34:22.000 Michael Pelca filling in for Buck Sexton on the Buck 0:34:22.040 --> 0:34:32.880 Sexton Show. We'll be right back, Michael Pelca in for 0:34:33.040 --> 0:34:36.440 my buddy Buck Sexton tonight, and we're trying to get 0:34:36.440 --> 0:34:38.640 to everything. But I got really wrapped up in this 0:34:38.840 --> 0:34:45.719 Alison Camerata embarrassing, embarrassing attack on Johnson unw She brought 0:34:45.760 --> 0:34:48.600 him in to talk about John McCain, Remember the life 0:34:48.600 --> 0:34:51.080 of John McCain, and then tried to make it an 0:34:51.160 --> 0:34:55.040 attack on Donald Trump. And when we last left the clip, 0:34:56.239 --> 0:35:01.239 this was still going on with Camerata going after she's 0:35:01.239 --> 0:35:05.600 already dressed him down once going Governor, we invited you here, 0:35:06.239 --> 0:35:09.520 and uh, you're just not you're not being good. But 0:35:10.080 --> 0:35:13.080 let's see what what's happening now. I don't want to 0:35:13.080 --> 0:35:16.960 be a part of rubbing whatever salt is in whatever 0:35:17.080 --> 0:35:20.560 wound there may be, because I think that just adds 0:35:20.640 --> 0:35:25.400 to the division. I'm here because I lost a good friend. 0:35:25.800 --> 0:35:29.240 I wanted to express my concern about that. I wanted 0:35:29.239 --> 0:35:32.600 to applaud what he contributed to the country. I wanted 0:35:32.640 --> 0:35:35.920 to underscore the relationship he had with the state of 0:35:35.960 --> 0:35:39.080 New Hampshire. And I'm not here to play the political 0:35:39.160 --> 0:35:41.640 games that some of the press want to play at 0:35:41.719 --> 0:35:44.240 this moment of of what I think is great sorrow 0:35:44.280 --> 0:35:47.759 for the country. So great statement. Right, you should say 0:35:47.800 --> 0:35:51.560 thank you and goodbye. We had you here. Camerata can't 0:35:51.640 --> 0:35:53.400 let go. Just to be clear, we don't see it 0:35:53.440 --> 0:35:58.319 as a game. Just to be clear, we don't see 0:35:58.320 --> 0:36:01.480 it as a game. Soon news only reaction is to laugh. 0:36:03.640 --> 0:36:07.440 And to be clear, the press didn't create whatever division 0:36:07.880 --> 0:36:13.240 exists that President Trump feels that allowed him to spike 0:36:13.400 --> 0:36:16.719 the statement that General John Kelly wanted him to put 0:36:16.719 --> 0:36:23.160 out about John McCain's sacrifice. The press, everybody, everybody, everybody 0:36:23.200 --> 0:36:27.480 reflects their concerns in ways that are consistent with whatever 0:36:27.480 --> 0:36:31.360 they feel. I've expressed my concern, uh the loss of 0:36:31.440 --> 0:36:33.840 John McCain, who I think was a great American, a 0:36:33.880 --> 0:36:37.759 great American hero in the military, a great American hero 0:36:37.880 --> 0:36:41.399 in the political process, and frankly, a great American hero 0:36:41.880 --> 0:36:44.879 on a personal level. Two people that knew him well, 0:36:45.000 --> 0:36:47.440 and it is on those three levels that I sensed 0:36:47.440 --> 0:36:51.760 the loss, and I have expressed my my feelings of 0:36:51.760 --> 0:36:55.719 of sorrow for him having passed, and my expression of 0:36:55.800 --> 0:37:00.000 feelings of sorrow for for his personal family who lost him, 0:37:00.160 --> 0:37:03.520 for a country who lost the great American hero. She 0:37:03.680 --> 0:37:09.239 can't let go. She just cannot let go. Alison Camerata, 0:37:09.560 --> 0:37:14.880 I hope you watch this and learn something about graciousness 0:37:15.200 --> 0:37:19.759 and about the truth. The truth has no agenda. Apparently 0:37:19.920 --> 0:37:23.719 CNN does Michael Pelca in for Buck Sexton next hour, 0:37:23.840 --> 0:37:26.680 Emily Zanati, come on back me on calls home. Title 0:37:26.760 --> 0:37:31.560 theft buck Sexton mission. Decoding the news and disseminating information 0:37:31.960 --> 0:37:37.839 is actionable intelligence. Make no mistake, American. Let great, You're 0:37:37.880 --> 0:37:50.520 a great American again. This is the Buck Sexton shown. No, well, 0:37:50.560 --> 0:37:55.120 it's not really Buck Sexton, but I've got your six Buck. 0:37:55.200 --> 0:37:58.080 It's Michael Pelca, the Godfather, sitting in from my friend, 0:37:58.120 --> 0:38:01.160 former colleague Buck Sexton here and the Buck Sexton show. 0:38:01.200 --> 0:38:06.320 Buck is somewhere twenty five thousand feet over the heartland 0:38:06.360 --> 0:38:11.000 of America, winging his way back from Calaifornia to get 0:38:11.040 --> 0:38:14.120 to uh the studio for tomorrow night. So I'm here 0:38:14.840 --> 0:38:18.640 and uh we want to talk about some really hot 0:38:18.680 --> 0:38:21.799 topics tonight. We just took a part the Alison Camerado 0:38:21.880 --> 0:38:26.879 Johnson UNW interview, and boy, oh boy, was that delicious 0:38:27.960 --> 0:38:32.400 right on the heels of the LANDI Davis fake news 0:38:32.440 --> 0:38:38.000 that CNN has duggets heels and Alison Camerata just amazing 0:38:38.120 --> 0:38:42.480 and Johnson UNU delivering a master class in how to 0:38:42.600 --> 0:38:47.560 be diplomatic as well as political at the same time. 0:38:47.640 --> 0:38:51.040 Really well done stuff. But this hour I want to 0:38:51.080 --> 0:38:54.640 hear from you about the question of the day. In 0:38:54.719 --> 0:38:58.520 my mind, I was raised Roman Catholic, grew up in 0:38:58.560 --> 0:39:03.120 the South Side of Chicago, went to Catholic schools for kindergarten, 0:39:03.160 --> 0:39:08.040 grammar school, high school, and uh. Raised in a house 0:39:08.080 --> 0:39:10.920 with nine kids, very Catholic. We had a red phone. 0:39:11.000 --> 0:39:15.399 I always believed a hotline to Rome where the Pope 0:39:15.440 --> 0:39:18.960 would call and say we need more more kids. And 0:39:19.040 --> 0:39:22.120 so my parents were dutiful Catholics, and we went to 0:39:22.239 --> 0:39:25.000 our Lady of Perpetual Help Church and then St. Philip 0:39:25.000 --> 0:39:28.280 the Apostle all that stuff, and my faith has always 0:39:28.320 --> 0:39:31.160 been part of my life, and now it's shaken by 0:39:31.200 --> 0:39:35.400 the scandals and the gigantic nature of the scandals that 0:39:35.440 --> 0:39:41.480 we're hearing about, and my heart is breaking for my 0:39:41.600 --> 0:39:44.680 faith and the good people in my faith, and I 0:39:44.840 --> 0:39:48.800 wonder if it's time for the pope to step down. 0:39:49.920 --> 0:39:52.600 So I want to hear from you guys to eight 0:39:52.640 --> 0:39:57.400 four buck eight four four D to A to five 0:39:57.520 --> 0:40:01.759 the phone number here. And I needed to bring in 0:40:01.880 --> 0:40:05.560 some help on this. And there is a young lady 0:40:05.560 --> 0:40:08.520 I respect greatly for her work as a journalist, but 0:40:08.600 --> 0:40:12.280 also her faith work. I learned more about obscure saints 0:40:12.320 --> 0:40:15.719 that I never knew about when I read or talk 0:40:15.840 --> 0:40:20.320 to Emily Zanati from the Daily Wire. So Emily agreed 0:40:20.360 --> 0:40:22.520 to carve out a little bit of time from her 0:40:22.600 --> 0:40:25.920 life tonight and join us. Welcome, my friend, how are you. 0:40:26.680 --> 0:40:30.080 I'm good? Thanks for having me anytime. I encourage you 0:40:30.120 --> 0:40:33.399 everybody to follow I m Zanati on the Twitter and 0:40:33.480 --> 0:40:36.520 just go to the Daily Wire and read Emily stuff. Uh. 0:40:36.640 --> 0:40:39.400 Some of it's quirky, some of it's kind of freaky, 0:40:39.440 --> 0:40:42.360 but your faith stuff, I think is is always spot 0:40:42.400 --> 0:40:46.359 on a solid Are you feeling Are you feeling some 0:40:46.400 --> 0:40:49.040 of the pain and gut punching that I'm feeling as 0:40:49.080 --> 0:40:53.560 a Catholic with all the news of late Oh yeah, absolutely. 0:40:53.760 --> 0:40:55.920 I don't think it's possible not to feel like you've 0:40:55.960 --> 0:40:57.600 been punched on the gut. And I feel like it 0:40:57.640 --> 0:41:00.520 happens every day, like it does goods, This gets a 0:41:00.560 --> 0:41:04.680 little bit worse every day. I think it hasn't stopped 0:41:04.719 --> 0:41:07.760 since I believe it was two weeks ago August eighteen, 0:41:08.200 --> 0:41:11.879 so we had the first news of Pennsylvania and the 0:41:12.080 --> 0:41:17.560 Philadelphi or Pittsburgh diocese overrun with about three complaints of 0:41:18.480 --> 0:41:22.759 essentially pedophile and pedder asked priests. And now I feel 0:41:22.800 --> 0:41:26.600 like we've just kept moving up the line. Yeah, it's 0:41:27.120 --> 0:41:31.120 it's frightening how how pervasive it seems to have gone. 0:41:31.640 --> 0:41:34.720 And I get mad. I get mad at the numbers 0:41:34.800 --> 0:41:36.960 that I see when they start touring on the numbers 0:41:37.160 --> 0:41:40.880 not just of the victims, but the dollars. Because the 0:41:40.960 --> 0:41:46.600 church basically asks every week, like every faith group does, says, hey, 0:41:46.640 --> 0:41:49.080 we need a little help to roof fund is getting thin, 0:41:49.280 --> 0:41:51.520 we got the heater needs to be replaced. Can you 0:41:51.560 --> 0:41:55.640 help us out? And then I read about stories claiming, 0:41:55.680 --> 0:41:59.880 well this this priest was retired and they bought it 0:42:00.000 --> 0:42:03.080 two point six million dollar mansion for him to live 0:42:03.080 --> 0:42:07.120 out his life in. And I just feel like, what 0:42:07.160 --> 0:42:09.640 are we doing here? When is this going to stop? 0:42:09.920 --> 0:42:15.239 And what happened today with with is it coupe or 0:42:15.320 --> 0:42:23.120 coupe out of Chicago? Cardinal stupid? What happened there? So 0:42:23.160 --> 0:42:25.560 this goes back to something that happened over the weekend. 0:42:25.719 --> 0:42:29.320 On Saturday night, we had this eleven page letter drop 0:42:29.520 --> 0:42:34.080 from Archbishop Vigaro, who I think I'm pronouncing that right, 0:42:34.120 --> 0:42:40.640 who basically said that Theodore mccaric are former Cardinal Theodore 0:42:40.800 --> 0:42:47.920 mccaricic who was basically stripped for having had years of 0:42:48.000 --> 0:42:52.560 relations with seminarians and just ran Russia over at least 0:42:52.600 --> 0:42:56.600 three dioceses, did whatever he pleased, had relationships with whomever 0:42:56.719 --> 0:43:01.439 he pleased. The allegations and this letter and Saturday were 0:43:01.560 --> 0:43:06.360 that Pope Benedict had taken some measures against mccaic and 0:43:06.400 --> 0:43:10.279 had designated him as he had to stay where he 0:43:10.440 --> 0:43:13.640 was and he had to live a prayerful and penitential life. 0:43:13.920 --> 0:43:15.719 He could not go out in public, he was not 0:43:15.800 --> 0:43:19.520 supposed to travel, he was not to represent the church. Supposedly, 0:43:19.600 --> 0:43:22.799 Pope Benedict levied this very harsh punishment it took a 0:43:22.840 --> 0:43:25.960 while to get back to mccaricic he didn't really follow 0:43:26.000 --> 0:43:30.800 it during Pope Benedict's rain, but once it turned over 0:43:30.880 --> 0:43:34.080 to Pope Francis, it appears according to this letter, the 0:43:34.120 --> 0:43:38.480 allegations are that Francis basically reinstated him, that said, you know, 0:43:38.560 --> 0:43:42.000 ignore all the allegations against you. You're going to be fine, 0:43:42.680 --> 0:43:45.160 You're going to be able to travel, You're going to 0:43:45.239 --> 0:43:50.680 be a close counselor to the Vatican. And in this 0:43:50.760 --> 0:43:56.000 letter they also named several other people who were collaborators 0:43:56.000 --> 0:44:00.000 of sorts with mccaic, including Chicago's Cardinal Blaze Stupit, who 0:44:00.000 --> 0:44:02.520 a day went on television and now, of course we 0:44:02.600 --> 0:44:07.040 know that this letter contains very serious allegations if they 0:44:07.080 --> 0:44:10.200 are true. In fact, the Pope has done some very 0:44:10.320 --> 0:44:12.920 bad things or has looked the other way while some 0:44:13.080 --> 0:44:18.120 very bad things have been done. But today arts are sorry. 0:44:18.200 --> 0:44:21.399 Cardinal Stupitch went on TV and basically said, you know what, 0:44:21.440 --> 0:44:23.640 the Pope has more important things to do. You guys 0:44:23.719 --> 0:44:26.120 don't need to be bugging him with these allegations of 0:44:26.200 --> 0:44:30.320 a of a global child sex network that he covered 0:44:30.400 --> 0:44:34.040 up for. He has to focus on climate change and 0:44:34.120 --> 0:44:37.720 the migrant crisis. And also, you guys are a little 0:44:37.719 --> 0:44:43.600 bit racist because he's Latino. Actually the Pope is Italian 0:44:44.000 --> 0:44:48.319 by ethnic ethnic background. But it was a very strange 0:44:48.560 --> 0:44:54.960 day for Chicago's cardinal. I lost, as to speak in 0:44:55.000 --> 0:44:58.160 the parlance of you millennials, I lost my ability to 0:44:58.480 --> 0:45:03.520 even when when the cardinals says, the Pope's too busy 0:45:03.760 --> 0:45:08.200 dealing with climate change and the migrant immigrant crisis to 0:45:08.400 --> 0:45:12.640 deal with children, to deal with this, what could be 0:45:12.880 --> 0:45:16.160 a Vatican If it is true, if this eleven page 0:45:16.600 --> 0:45:20.160 letter is true, and so far evidence points to at 0:45:20.239 --> 0:45:22.439 least a little bit of it being true. We don't 0:45:22.480 --> 0:45:26.359 have everything just yet. But if this is true, then 0:45:26.400 --> 0:45:29.120 this is a major scandal that goes all the way 0:45:29.200 --> 0:45:32.759 to the top levels of the church. And this is 0:45:32.840 --> 0:45:36.239 the agenda. In fact, I think most Catholics would agree 0:45:36.239 --> 0:45:38.319 with me when we say this is the thing you 0:45:38.320 --> 0:45:42.280 should be focusing on. I no longer want any priest 0:45:42.480 --> 0:45:44.840 in any diocese in the United States or anywhere in 0:45:44.880 --> 0:45:48.399 the world being able to prey on children, being able 0:45:48.440 --> 0:45:51.960 to pray on seminarians. If they exist in these dioceses, 0:45:51.960 --> 0:45:54.120 they need to be punished with the full force of 0:45:54.160 --> 0:45:57.840 the law, and I think that that's a fair and 0:45:58.160 --> 0:46:02.839 full x dictation of a religion. And certainly this isn't 0:46:02.880 --> 0:46:05.520 going to be nice. It's going to hurt a lot, 0:46:05.600 --> 0:46:08.399 but once it's over, we're going to have a very 0:46:08.520 --> 0:46:11.879 different church. So but these guys are saying, you know what, 0:46:11.920 --> 0:46:16.400 maybe we'll get to ad after climate change. All I 0:46:16.400 --> 0:46:19.279 I throw my hands in the air. I look at 0:46:19.320 --> 0:46:23.480 the statements from the Attorney General in Pennsylvania and the 0:46:23.520 --> 0:46:26.040 guy who said that one of the things holding back 0:46:26.480 --> 0:46:31.200 any real progress is the statute of limitations on child abuse, 0:46:31.840 --> 0:46:36.480 and many states have eliminated that, so that would probably 0:46:36.560 --> 0:46:40.520 help out and at least going more aggressively after these criminals, 0:46:41.000 --> 0:46:45.560 these animals, these beasts. But here's the question I would 0:46:45.719 --> 0:46:49.799 ask you, Emily's an addie of the Daily Wire. Do 0:46:49.880 --> 0:46:54.400 you think the answer not just solving the problem rooting 0:46:54.400 --> 0:46:57.279 out the bad people. Do you think the answer is 0:46:57.320 --> 0:47:02.799 allowing priests to marry. See, I don't think so. I 0:47:02.840 --> 0:47:07.400 think this goes beyond that. If priests wanted to marry, 0:47:07.480 --> 0:47:10.760 they would be having illicit families. We would be seeing 0:47:10.840 --> 0:47:15.840 a very different um, a very different sort of concern 0:47:16.040 --> 0:47:19.080 in the church. This is a case where some people 0:47:19.080 --> 0:47:22.000 who wanted to do some bad things got in maybe 0:47:22.040 --> 0:47:24.600 several decades ago, and paved the way for a lot 0:47:24.600 --> 0:47:27.680 of terrible things to happen from the top down. We've 0:47:27.920 --> 0:47:30.719 not had married priests for two thousand years, and we 0:47:30.760 --> 0:47:32.920 only seem to have had these problems in the last 0:47:32.960 --> 0:47:36.399 forty years. So this is a this is a time now. 0:47:36.520 --> 0:47:38.800 I have had some friends of mine who are also 0:47:38.800 --> 0:47:41.520 traditional Catholics like mine, suggests that perhaps we do need 0:47:41.600 --> 0:47:43.799 some wives in the church because they might be better 0:47:43.840 --> 0:47:47.000 off it controlling the men. But I, I don't know, 0:47:47.480 --> 0:47:50.080 I don't think my well, my point was I I 0:47:50.120 --> 0:47:53.920 always thought that the elimination of marriage for priests happened 0:47:54.239 --> 0:47:58.040 somewhere in or twelfth century, and it was because the 0:47:58.120 --> 0:48:00.960 Catholic Church was tired of giving some of the land 0:48:01.040 --> 0:48:04.640 assets when there were divorces, and so that's when that 0:48:04.760 --> 0:48:08.279 came about. That was one of the tales I was 0:48:08.400 --> 0:48:10.879 told as a young man, because I I asked the 0:48:10.920 --> 0:48:15.240 priests that taught me at Loyola, how come priests can't marry? 0:48:15.800 --> 0:48:18.919 Don't you don't you see the beauty in women that 0:48:19.239 --> 0:48:22.840 the rest of us see? And he said knows the 0:48:22.920 --> 0:48:26.560 vows celibacy was part of the higher calling. And yet 0:48:26.719 --> 0:48:29.080 now we hear that many of them, not all of them, 0:48:29.080 --> 0:48:31.960 but many of them didn't have that vow. I just 0:48:32.080 --> 0:48:35.239 think if we were to root out the problem and 0:48:35.320 --> 0:48:40.200 get rid of those bad actors and maybe allow it, maybe, 0:48:40.239 --> 0:48:43.520 like you said, there's some wives in the rectory, might 0:48:43.640 --> 0:48:47.960 make two for a lot better situation. And a lot 0:48:48.000 --> 0:48:50.600 of friends who are entering the seminary now, or they're 0:48:50.680 --> 0:48:53.120 priests in the seminary, or they're very new priests, and 0:48:53.239 --> 0:48:55.640 these are really good guys, and it's important to remember 0:48:55.680 --> 0:48:58.719 that these guys have been hurt too. The worst that 0:48:58.880 --> 0:49:00.799 you think of priests and worst that you think of 0:49:00.800 --> 0:49:02.640 the Catholic Church, and the worst that you think of 0:49:02.680 --> 0:49:06.880 these terrible people who have now soured everything. They really ruined. 0:49:06.880 --> 0:49:09.399 This for men who do receive the calling, I mean, 0:49:09.400 --> 0:49:13.560 this is a this is a very very prestigious calling. 0:49:13.600 --> 0:49:15.600 If you're called to be a priest in the Catholic Church, 0:49:15.640 --> 0:49:19.120 it means a lot. And that vow is you take 0:49:19.200 --> 0:49:21.720 Christ as your wife, you take the body of Christ, 0:49:21.760 --> 0:49:25.160 which is the entire church, and you're responsible. In fact um, 0:49:25.200 --> 0:49:28.880 I'll never forget when one of my friends was um ordained. 0:49:29.440 --> 0:49:32.240 The priest who is ordaining him said, you know, we're 0:49:32.280 --> 0:49:37.520 all buried and and and our funerals face Heaven. Our 0:49:37.560 --> 0:49:40.919 funerals face East. Priest funerals face the other direction, because 0:49:40.920 --> 0:49:44.080 they have to face the people whose lives and souls 0:49:44.120 --> 0:49:49.359 they were responsible for. So it's it's a very it's 0:49:49.400 --> 0:49:51.680 a very high calling. And these guys have committed some 0:49:51.840 --> 0:49:55.080 very terrible acts, and every last Catholic is a victim 0:49:55.160 --> 0:49:58.640 of them. It's definitely of a different magnitude than the 0:49:58.920 --> 0:50:04.719 sexual abuse victim. But be kind to priests because they 0:50:04.840 --> 0:50:06.759 a lot of them, a lot of them did not 0:50:06.840 --> 0:50:09.960 do anything wrong here. Well, you're you're really right to 0:50:09.960 --> 0:50:12.560 bring up the point that this hurts not just the 0:50:12.680 --> 0:50:16.200 victims of the sex abuse, but the members of the church, 0:50:16.280 --> 0:50:18.960 but more importantly, the members of the clergy who are 0:50:19.040 --> 0:50:22.759 good members. There are so many priests from my education 0:50:22.800 --> 0:50:25.560 growing up as an altar boy, as a Catholic in 0:50:25.680 --> 0:50:29.359 high school, as a person married in the Catholic Church. Uh, 0:50:29.560 --> 0:50:33.120 so many great priests in my life, in my history 0:50:33.160 --> 0:50:37.719 that it bothers me that a relatively small percentage has 0:50:37.800 --> 0:50:41.640 done such a monumentally bad thing. But it could bring 0:50:41.760 --> 0:50:45.440 down the church at least could bring down this papacy. 0:50:45.560 --> 0:50:48.279 If you were a betting woman, would you bet that 0:50:48.640 --> 0:50:53.680 Francis is going to have to step down. I don't know. 0:50:53.760 --> 0:50:56.520 I think it'll come down to what we see and 0:50:56.560 --> 0:50:59.600 find in the next several weeks. It would be a 0:50:59.680 --> 0:51:02.360 big deal to have France to step down. That's really 0:51:02.360 --> 0:51:08.080 not happened before except for Benedict, who willingly resigned the papacy, 0:51:08.120 --> 0:51:11.160 So we would have three living popes at that point. 0:51:11.680 --> 0:51:14.600 Um certainly a trial would have to be held for 0:51:14.680 --> 0:51:16.640 him and he could be lay sized. But these are 0:51:16.640 --> 0:51:20.480 all things that are so far down the road right now. 0:51:20.520 --> 0:51:22.960 I think what everyone needs to focus on is getting 0:51:22.960 --> 0:51:27.359 the church to agree to having these investigations. To understand 0:51:27.600 --> 0:51:31.040 this matters to people of faith, and not just Catholics, 0:51:31.080 --> 0:51:34.240 but it matters to people who have children in Catholic schools. 0:51:34.280 --> 0:51:36.600 It matters to people whose friends are Catholic to go 0:51:36.640 --> 0:51:39.759 to Catholic weddings. This is all very this is this 0:51:39.800 --> 0:51:43.640 is very devastating for a large body of people. Yeah, 0:51:43.680 --> 0:51:48.560 a billion people plus around the world. It's a topic 0:51:48.640 --> 0:51:52.799 that will not be going away quickly. I wonder in 0:51:52.880 --> 0:51:55.440 the back of my head I start playing what's first? 0:51:55.560 --> 0:51:58.440 You know, if the Democrats who in the house? Is 0:51:58.800 --> 0:52:02.040 there an article of impeach before the pope is being squeezed, 0:52:02.480 --> 0:52:05.680 and and that situation, so that all these plates are 0:52:05.680 --> 0:52:08.719 spinning in my head. Emily Sinnati, I don't know, I 0:52:08.760 --> 0:52:12.879 don't quite know where to go. What give me one 0:52:13.040 --> 0:52:15.560 story of yours on the Daily Wire? Then they need 0:52:15.600 --> 0:52:18.800 to track to get me out of this horrific story. 0:52:19.360 --> 0:52:22.520 UM let me see, Well, yesterday we did a story 0:52:22.560 --> 0:52:27.319 about the introduction of lingerie for men. That's a totally different. Well, yeah, 0:52:27.400 --> 0:52:30.560 I think it's actually totally different. We did that. Um. 0:52:31.040 --> 0:52:34.360 We also have stories up there about John McCain's legacy, 0:52:34.640 --> 0:52:38.520 and of course the renaming of the potential renaming of 0:52:38.560 --> 0:52:41.319 the Russell Senate Office building for John McCain. That's something 0:52:41.360 --> 0:52:44.800 that we covered today. So I think you'll find things 0:52:44.800 --> 0:52:47.360 on the Daily Wire that will certainly take your mind 0:52:47.520 --> 0:52:51.560 off of the Church but may not make you happy 0:52:51.640 --> 0:52:55.960 for society. I can't say that at that. On top 0:52:56.000 --> 0:53:01.040 of that, today's Pumpkin spice latte return day, it's I know, 0:53:01.360 --> 0:53:04.200 I can't, I can't do it. I'm I'm not a 0:53:04.239 --> 0:53:07.440 coffee drinker. I'm not a pumpkin spice person, but I 0:53:07.480 --> 0:53:10.960 guess it means it's fall soon to be here. Emily's 0:53:10.960 --> 0:53:13.920 a note from the Daily Wire. Thank you for talking 0:53:13.920 --> 0:53:16.760 about a real heavy topic. We usually get pretty silly, 0:53:16.760 --> 0:53:19.040 but I appreciate you being able to go deep on 0:53:19.040 --> 0:53:23.400 this one. Thank you. And there she goes a really 0:53:23.640 --> 0:53:27.120 smart young lady, somebody I I read every single day, 0:53:27.200 --> 0:53:29.520 and I hope you do too. Michael pelca in for 0:53:29.680 --> 0:53:33.000 Buck Sexton, what do you think you think impeachment will 0:53:33.040 --> 0:53:35.400 happen before the pope leaves? Do you have a thought 0:53:35.440 --> 0:53:39.160 on all of this? You know the number? Uh eight 0:53:39.200 --> 0:53:41.960 four d Buck? You know it better than I do. 0:53:42.120 --> 0:53:46.080 Eight four four nine to A to five Michael Pelica 0:53:46.200 --> 0:53:54.320 and for Buck Sexton, come on back, Michael pelk and 0:53:54.440 --> 0:53:56.879 for Buck Sexton on the Buck Sex and Show. Buck 0:53:56.880 --> 0:53:59.760 will be back tomorrow. But we have a hot topic tonight. 0:53:59.840 --> 0:54:03.799 Is especially for Catholics like me with the scandal in 0:54:03.840 --> 0:54:06.040 the church. Should the Pope resign? A lot of you 0:54:06.080 --> 0:54:09.440 are weighing in not only on this question, but on 0:54:09.560 --> 0:54:12.840 your thoughts on this. Greg and Allentown, Pennsylvania, welcome to 0:54:12.920 --> 0:54:15.360 the show. Where where are you on all this? Greg 0:54:16.520 --> 0:54:19.239 Well not being a Catholic though. The question that I 0:54:19.840 --> 0:54:23.800 first have about this is is the percentage of pedophile 0:54:23.920 --> 0:54:28.200 priests any greater than the percentage of pedophiles in society. 0:54:28.560 --> 0:54:32.120 It's a good question. I don't have hard answers on that. 0:54:32.520 --> 0:54:36.719 It certainly seems to be um a higher concentration, but 0:54:36.840 --> 0:54:40.520 I'm only going to speculate, so my information is flawed, 0:54:41.239 --> 0:54:44.480 you know, more more publicity, perhaps maybe not a higher concentration. 0:54:45.080 --> 0:54:48.040 And another thing too with with these priests and nuns, 0:54:48.600 --> 0:54:51.040 I think are extraordinary people because they have to say 0:54:51.120 --> 0:54:53.839 to do things that human beings are not designed to do, 0:54:53.960 --> 0:54:58.520 and that is remain single. Yeah. I have uh friends 0:54:58.560 --> 0:55:03.720 who were priests and became priests and then didn't stay 0:55:03.840 --> 0:55:05.920 priests that I have stayed in touch with. And I 0:55:05.960 --> 0:55:08.759 have I have friends who are nuns that taught me 0:55:08.800 --> 0:55:11.600 in grammar school, and they are, as you have described, 0:55:11.760 --> 0:55:16.040 remarkable people. So we need to remember there is a 0:55:16.080 --> 0:55:19.640 great number of them out there who continued to do 0:55:19.719 --> 0:55:24.359 God's work and are strong warriors of faith. So yeah, 0:55:24.520 --> 0:55:31.240 great point, Greg, appreciate this time. Can't think to stop 0:55:31.280 --> 0:55:34.960 praying for these people? Do that will make an ultimate difference. 0:55:35.000 --> 0:55:38.920 I think in their lives. Wow, what a great thought. 0:55:39.080 --> 0:55:41.560 Pray for the people who saw off and pray for us. 0:55:42.120 --> 0:55:47.200 Thank you, Greg, I appreciate that, very simple and powerful thought. 0:55:47.760 --> 0:55:50.960 Michael Pelkins for Buck Sexton, will continue talking, David p 0:55:51.120 --> 0:55:53.040 A hang on, I want to get to your call, 0:55:53.120 --> 0:55:56.040 but I have to take a short break. Should the 0:55:56.080 --> 0:56:00.000 Pope resign? Where are you on the Catholic crisis? Michael 0:56:00.040 --> 0:56:14.479 Pelican for Buck Sexton on the Buck Sexton Show. He's 0:56:14.560 --> 0:56:16.920 back with you now because when it comes to the 0:56:17.000 --> 0:56:24.360 fight for truth, the fuck never stops. Michael pelca in 0:56:24.480 --> 0:56:28.239 for Buck Sexton tonight. Buck will be back tomorrow evening. Yes, 0:56:28.520 --> 0:56:31.480 it's the Godfather once again. Happen to be here. This 0:56:31.520 --> 0:56:36.480 audience always engages and inspires me, so I'm glad you're here. 0:56:36.520 --> 0:56:41.080 We talked earlier tonight with emily's Anati from the Daily Wire, 0:56:41.160 --> 0:56:45.440 a very talented writer, also a Catholic, somebody I I 0:56:45.600 --> 0:56:49.840 follow religiously. Yeah, see what I did there, And we 0:56:49.960 --> 0:56:52.480 talked about the situation with the Catholic Church and the 0:56:52.560 --> 0:56:57.480 Vatican and the allegations now that the scandal involving the 0:56:57.560 --> 0:57:02.840 abuse of young children, predominantly male children by male priests. 0:57:03.520 --> 0:57:07.880 Has uh has been known inside the Vatican at the 0:57:07.960 --> 0:57:12.400 highest levels for a long time, And I asked the question, 0:57:12.480 --> 0:57:17.640 if it's true, if the Pope knew and didn't didn't 0:57:17.640 --> 0:57:20.440 address it properly, is it time to remove him or 0:57:20.440 --> 0:57:23.800 should he remove himself? And a lot of you were 0:57:23.840 --> 0:57:28.520 calling eight four four buck eight four four to eight 0:57:28.560 --> 0:57:32.920 to five to express your opinion. Dave, and Pennsylvania's on 0:57:33.000 --> 0:57:36.040 the phone. Dave, it's your state that let the fire. 0:57:36.160 --> 0:57:39.800 Where are you on this? Oh? Well, in regard to 0:57:39.840 --> 0:57:44.480 this situation, I just want to say that I'm I'm 0:57:44.520 --> 0:57:46.720 not a Catholic, but I consider myself to be a 0:57:46.760 --> 0:57:50.959 born again Bible believing Christian. And I say, no matter 0:57:51.040 --> 0:57:55.600 what the nomination you're from, Protestant, Catholic, Lutheran, Baptist, whatever, 0:57:56.160 --> 0:58:01.360 anyone who's trusted in Jesus as his savior is can 0:58:01.440 --> 0:58:05.040 consider themselves to be a Christian. So I think ultimately 0:58:05.080 --> 0:58:07.919 the moral of the soul story is that the only 0:58:07.960 --> 0:58:12.200 person we can really look to for an example here 0:58:12.360 --> 0:58:15.080 is Jesus himself, because all the rest of us are 0:58:15.120 --> 0:58:18.880 flawed in some way. And uh, maybe this had to 0:58:18.880 --> 0:58:23.000 happen in the Catholic Church to some extent, because the 0:58:23.040 --> 0:58:27.439 Catholic Church at times portrays its priests and every its 0:58:27.480 --> 0:58:30.880 cardinals and the Pope to almost be in a higher 0:58:31.000 --> 0:58:34.480 spiritual realm than the rest of us were immortals. And 0:58:34.560 --> 0:58:37.240 maybe he just just just had to happen to remind 0:58:37.320 --> 0:58:41.479 us all that we're all flawed individuals and the only 0:58:41.520 --> 0:58:46.200 perfect one. That's a fair point. That's a fair point. 0:58:46.240 --> 0:58:49.000 I don't know if Dave's line cut off, but the 0:58:49.080 --> 0:58:53.960 only perfect okay, good, the only perfect one, as an example, 0:58:54.080 --> 0:58:57.640 was Jesus. And I will tell you, um, well, have 0:58:57.800 --> 0:59:01.840 you been to Rome and to the Vatican. Oh? No, okay, 0:59:01.960 --> 0:59:06.720 it's it's quite stunning. And I've been inside the Vatican. 0:59:07.040 --> 0:59:11.400 I attended midnight Mass on Christmas Eve in nine. It 0:59:11.520 --> 0:59:15.440 was a powerful moment in my life. I attended something 0:59:15.480 --> 0:59:19.000 known as a consistory, which is the installation of new 0:59:19.080 --> 0:59:25.600 cardinals in and it as well is a powerful spiritual moment. 0:59:26.040 --> 0:59:31.840 And there are reminders of of man's humanity everywhere. Uh. 0:59:32.120 --> 0:59:37.520 You climb the Scala Sancta to a tiny prayer chapel 0:59:37.920 --> 0:59:41.320 outside of the Vatican near City Hall in Rome, and 0:59:41.360 --> 0:59:45.280 it's the Pope's private prayer channel at chapel. It's tiny, 0:59:45.400 --> 0:59:48.720 you can't even imagine. But the Scala Sancta lead you 0:59:48.840 --> 0:59:53.520 up to that prayer chapel and above the little altar inside, 0:59:54.320 --> 0:59:57.520 and it's protected by bulletproof glass. You can't go in there. 0:59:57.920 --> 1:00:02.480 It's where the Pope praise him self above the altar. 1:00:02.600 --> 1:00:06.280 In in Latin is written this is the holiest place 1:00:06.320 --> 1:00:09.200 on earth, and you feel it when you're there. So 1:00:09.600 --> 1:00:14.000 there is uh an understanding of our minuscule nature in 1:00:14.120 --> 1:00:18.480 terms of eternity and this feeling. And I think sometimes 1:00:18.560 --> 1:00:22.360 we elevated some of the people in the hierarchy of 1:00:22.400 --> 1:00:26.240 the church beyond the humanity that they really should be 1:00:26.280 --> 1:00:28.760 in touch with. The Pope is the only one who's 1:00:28.800 --> 1:00:33.280 infallible and Jesus the only one perfect if you're a Christian. 1:00:33.800 --> 1:00:38.680 But I just wonder, if these humans are truly flawed, 1:00:39.240 --> 1:00:43.720 and they they are exposed for being flawed, shouldn't we 1:00:43.800 --> 1:00:47.760 expect them to remove themselves or be removed by the mechanism. 1:00:47.880 --> 1:00:52.880 Isn't that a fair assumption? Yeah, I'd agree with that, Yeah, 1:00:52.920 --> 1:00:56.120 I think. And now currently I posted a poll on Twitter. 1:00:56.200 --> 1:00:57.880 If you guys want to vote, if you don't want 1:00:57.880 --> 1:00:59.640 to chime in, on the phones. If you want to vote, 1:00:59.640 --> 1:01:03.720 you compare your computer and go to at stunt brain 1:01:03.800 --> 1:01:06.160 on Twitter. It's a vital question. At the top of 1:01:06.200 --> 1:01:09.960 my Twitter account, I asked, considering the latest news in 1:01:10.000 --> 1:01:13.480 the Catholic sex abuse crisis plaguing the Vatican, if the 1:01:13.600 --> 1:01:17.240 Pope knew, should he resign or be removed? Sixty percent 1:01:17.320 --> 1:01:20.280 of people in early, very early voting or saying yes, 1:01:21.120 --> 1:01:26.640 zero percent say no, that's interesting, nine percent say depends 1:01:26.800 --> 1:01:32.120 on what he knew. And of my Twitter followers don't care, 1:01:33.080 --> 1:01:35.560 which is interesting. A fifth of people just don't care. 1:01:35.960 --> 1:01:39.840 I will follow up on this throughout the evening online, 1:01:39.880 --> 1:01:44.400 so you're welcome to jump in. Dave, your state is 1:01:44.480 --> 1:01:47.520 the one leading the charge on this. Do you think 1:01:47.560 --> 1:01:50.160 it goes wider across the country or do you think 1:01:50.200 --> 1:01:54.480 it's isolated. I think it's wider across the country. Yeah, 1:01:54.800 --> 1:01:58.560 I feel like you are uh and not to minimize it. 1:01:58.640 --> 1:02:01.240 You are the canary in the coal mine unless you're 1:02:01.960 --> 1:02:05.080 you're very very early. Even though we've heard out of 1:02:05.400 --> 1:02:09.400 Boston for years, in New York and now Chicago as well, 1:02:09.880 --> 1:02:12.040 but I think this is the biggest one. It really 1:02:12.080 --> 1:02:15.720 is chilling, and Emily brought up a really good point. 1:02:16.520 --> 1:02:20.040 There are many great people of faith who are going 1:02:20.080 --> 1:02:22.800 to be hurt by this as well as the kids, 1:02:23.440 --> 1:02:26.200 but we must remember them in our prayers. Thank you, Dave. 1:02:26.200 --> 1:02:30.600 I appreciate your chiming in on that. Michael pelcam my name, 1:02:31.000 --> 1:02:33.400 As I said, I'm here for Buck Sexton. You're welcome 1:02:33.480 --> 1:02:37.560 to join the conversation anytime on any topic. We're covering 1:02:37.640 --> 1:02:41.880 a broad range of things. Earlier tonight, I mentioned, uh, 1:02:41.920 --> 1:02:46.560 some of the ridiculousness in local races around the country. 1:02:46.600 --> 1:02:49.840 For example, in New York City, there really isn't a 1:02:49.880 --> 1:02:53.200 snowball's chance, and how that a Republican will get elected 1:02:53.240 --> 1:02:56.800 to the governorship. It would be nice, but the Democrats 1:02:56.800 --> 1:02:59.440 are really organized. If you live in New York City 1:02:59.440 --> 1:03:05.440 and the lower portion of the state, Democrats outnumber Republicans 1:03:05.880 --> 1:03:09.960 eight to one, think about that, uh, and think about 1:03:09.960 --> 1:03:12.760 what it took to get Rudy Giuliani elected. You had 1:03:12.800 --> 1:03:15.840 to have a really incompetent mayor in New York City 1:03:16.200 --> 1:03:19.520 in order to get a Republican like Rudy Giuliani elected. 1:03:19.560 --> 1:03:24.560 And trust me, New York had a major league incompetent 1:03:24.680 --> 1:03:28.880 mayor that Juliana came in and beat in David Dinkins, 1:03:29.000 --> 1:03:34.000 and so now New York City after Dinkins and then 1:03:34.040 --> 1:03:38.080 Giuliani and then Bloomberg, now they have Bill de Blasio, 1:03:38.200 --> 1:03:41.600 the communist a k a. Warren Wilhelm his real name. 1:03:41.960 --> 1:03:44.560 But in the governorship it's kind of the same deal. 1:03:45.400 --> 1:03:49.080 It's doubtful you get a member of the GOP to 1:03:48.680 --> 1:03:52.040 to earn the governorship. And in in New York State 1:03:52.120 --> 1:03:56.120 you now have Cuomo the governor running against in a primary. 1:03:56.840 --> 1:03:59.960 An actress from sex in the city sent the next 1:04:00.040 --> 1:04:03.120 in and she has set out a condition for the 1:04:03.320 --> 1:04:06.920 debate that she wants the room temperature to be seventy 1:04:06.920 --> 1:04:12.440 six degrees because if it's any colder, it's sexist. And 1:04:12.520 --> 1:04:16.720 I didn't realize that temperature had sexism tied to it, 1:04:17.200 --> 1:04:20.960 but now we know. And I also mentioned in Texas, 1:04:21.720 --> 1:04:24.440 Ted Cruise is up against this guy Beto O'Rourke, and 1:04:24.720 --> 1:04:28.640 that's a nickname, Beto, and it's politically calculated to make 1:04:28.720 --> 1:04:33.440 him sound like somebody who would appeal to members of 1:04:35.040 --> 1:04:39.800 members of the Hispanic voting public. But a Rourke was 1:04:39.840 --> 1:04:43.080 supposed to debate Ted Cruz. By the way, Ted Cruz 1:04:43.120 --> 1:04:47.080 has a Debate award named for him at Princeton. So 1:04:47.600 --> 1:04:53.840 O'Rourke would probably be mincemeat under Ted Cruz's debating skills. 1:04:54.240 --> 1:04:56.960 A Roor canceled their Friday appearance, and we're trying to 1:04:57.000 --> 1:05:00.960 figure out what it was there. We're trying to figure 1:05:00.960 --> 1:05:04.360 out what it was that uh has gotten his attention. 1:05:04.440 --> 1:05:07.840 And now we understand Beto O'Rourke is scheduled to appear 1:05:07.880 --> 1:05:12.840 on Ellen on the Ellen television program, and maybe that's 1:05:12.920 --> 1:05:16.560 why he canceled the debate with Ted Cruise. And my 1:05:16.640 --> 1:05:20.160 only question for Ellen is, oh, really, so you put 1:05:20.280 --> 1:05:25.240 him on, will you also be inviting Ted Cruz? Because 1:05:25.360 --> 1:05:29.120 that would be the fair thing to do, I would think. 1:05:29.400 --> 1:05:33.520 Let's see, I got a call on the buck Sexton hotline. 1:05:33.560 --> 1:05:38.760 Here eight Bucks Steve from Mississippi checking in. Steve, welcome 1:05:38.800 --> 1:05:44.400 to the buck Sexton program. How are you? I can't 1:05:44.440 --> 1:05:48.520 really hear Steve. You with me. You're on delay, Steve, 1:05:48.640 --> 1:05:55.040 so you're you're hearing like forty seconds earlier. But that happens. 1:05:55.640 --> 1:05:57.400 I don't mean to keep you on holding. I thought 1:05:57.440 --> 1:06:00.480 I got to stave pretty quickly. So maybe he'll join 1:06:00.600 --> 1:06:03.479 us here in a second. He has something to say, 1:06:03.560 --> 1:06:08.120 Stephen Mississippi. Uh, Steve, are you're with us? Check in again, Steve, 1:06:08.440 --> 1:06:13.919 come in, Steve Mississippi. Oh he's not responding. Well, I'm 1:06:13.960 --> 1:06:17.120 glad he's actually paying attention to his driving. That's a 1:06:17.120 --> 1:06:19.919 good thing. So I just want to point out those 1:06:19.960 --> 1:06:25.040 two inconsistencies in uh, those two major races Beato or 1:06:25.120 --> 1:06:28.880 Rourke canceling a debate so he can be on the 1:06:28.920 --> 1:06:33.440 Ellen Degenerous show. And uh, I imagine that's his audience. 1:06:33.680 --> 1:06:37.000 I imagine the Ellen audience is more of a left 1:06:37.080 --> 1:06:40.640 leaning audience. Okay, so we got Stephen Mississippi on the phone. Steve, 1:06:40.640 --> 1:06:44.240 welcome to the program, sir, Well, thank you, thank you. 1:06:44.280 --> 1:06:47.360 I'd like to wait in on the pope. Okay, please 1:06:47.400 --> 1:06:50.120 do are you? Do you happen to be Catholic? I 1:06:50.360 --> 1:06:56.720 do not. I'm not, okay, I do. I am a 1:06:56.800 --> 1:07:07.160 literalist and the okay literalist Okay, yes, hundred okay. And 1:07:07.280 --> 1:07:17.640 if if if Peter the Rock acquires his his authority 1:07:17.680 --> 1:07:23.800 from Jesus upon this Rock, I will be my church. Yes, sir, 1:07:24.040 --> 1:07:28.720 I'm with you so far. That's right. So if if 1:07:29.880 --> 1:07:33.920 the unction from God is to Peter, and it is 1:07:33.960 --> 1:07:41.520 to be passed down through men. How can you resign 1:07:42.880 --> 1:07:46.959 because it's supposed to be an unction? And if it's not, 1:07:48.440 --> 1:07:54.360 then the whole connection between Peter and Jesus, the Perfect, 1:07:54.960 --> 1:08:02.680 the Triune God, the the God in flesh. If that's broken, 1:08:04.680 --> 1:08:08.760 then what I thought he is there? Well, I go 1:08:08.880 --> 1:08:13.960 back to one of the previous callers, Dave from Pennsylvania, 1:08:14.000 --> 1:08:17.599 who talked about the only perfect one among us would 1:08:17.600 --> 1:08:20.760 have been no, no, no, no, no way. Man. I'm 1:08:20.800 --> 1:08:26.120 biab believing. I think he is God. It's not perfect. 1:08:27.680 --> 1:08:31.240 God is perfect, so he is God, So he would 1:08:31.320 --> 1:08:37.519 be perfect, wouldn't he Jesus, Yes, Jesus, Yeah, I'm with you. 1:08:37.640 --> 1:08:40.800 I'm with you on this one. He is perfect, Okay, 1:08:40.840 --> 1:08:44.240 I'm with you on this one. And if he, if 1:08:44.280 --> 1:08:51.680 he adnointed Teeter and the Catholic Church says that everyone 1:08:51.800 --> 1:08:57.800 that succeeds him stands in his stead? How can you 1:08:57.920 --> 1:09:04.559 resign on unction? And if I understand it? But but 1:09:04.960 --> 1:09:11.920 I'm gonna Steve, I understand the case. Well, you're you're 1:09:11.960 --> 1:09:15.759 a literalist, and there are those that would interpret things 1:09:15.920 --> 1:09:19.920 different than you. And there are almost as many interpretations 1:09:19.960 --> 1:09:24.400 as there are uh groups around this country. Sex if 1:09:24.439 --> 1:09:28.840 you will, of different groups within the church. So there 1:09:28.840 --> 1:09:32.760 are literalists and there are people who are interpreting, and 1:09:32.840 --> 1:09:37.360 they will have different interpretations. And I will tell you, 1:09:37.439 --> 1:09:41.280 I think that the failings of man have invaded parts 1:09:41.400 --> 1:09:45.000 of my faith, and that's how I see this. And 1:09:45.040 --> 1:09:47.400 I would think that if the Pope looked the other 1:09:47.520 --> 1:09:52.160 way and did not recognize those failings of those humans 1:09:52.760 --> 1:09:55.960 and allowed that to happen to the youngest and most 1:09:56.920 --> 1:10:01.040 unguarded among us, the children, then I would believe that 1:10:01.160 --> 1:10:03.960 it is time for the church to remove, or the 1:10:04.000 --> 1:10:07.480 Pope himself to remove. And I don't know all the mechanisms. 1:10:07.600 --> 1:10:10.120 I have to do my homework on this one. I'll 1:10:10.520 --> 1:10:14.919 research it with my buddy Emily's Anati and uh, we'll 1:10:15.000 --> 1:10:18.639 continue on this. I know I've got more calls coming 1:10:18.680 --> 1:10:21.760 in Michael Pelka and for Buck Sexton on the Buck 1:10:21.800 --> 1:10:31.360 Sexton Show. Come on back, Michael Pelca in for Buck 1:10:31.439 --> 1:10:33.759 Sexton tonight. I guess I opened a can of worms. 1:10:33.800 --> 1:10:35.840 Are trying to get to a lot of topics tonight, 1:10:35.880 --> 1:10:39.800 but I opened up this Vatican topic and it is, uh, 1:10:39.880 --> 1:10:43.280 it's a hot topic because I'm a Catholic. We talked 1:10:43.320 --> 1:10:47.240 to another very Catholic young lady. And Emily's a Nati 1:10:47.360 --> 1:10:50.640 who writes a lot about faith but other things in 1:10:50.760 --> 1:10:55.400 the Daily Wire. And I post the question is it time? 1:10:55.720 --> 1:11:00.240 Is it Is it appropriate if this pope new and 1:11:00.320 --> 1:11:03.920 look the other way in regards to the child sex 1:11:03.960 --> 1:11:08.080 abuse cases in the Vatican and in parishes around the country, 1:11:08.160 --> 1:11:11.479 is it appropriate he should resign or be removed? And 1:11:11.560 --> 1:11:14.920 currently six of you say yes, two percent say no, 1:11:16.200 --> 1:11:19.080 ten percent say depends on how much you knew and 1:11:19.840 --> 1:11:23.880 don't care. But James is calling from Mississippi the way 1:11:23.920 --> 1:11:28.439 and on this James, welcome to the buck Sexton program. Well, 1:11:28.479 --> 1:11:32.479 thank you, Mike. Uh just as a former Catholic myself, 1:11:32.560 --> 1:11:36.600 I was at one time. Now I'm not. But it 1:11:37.280 --> 1:11:40.040 seems to be that people think that the pope is 1:11:40.080 --> 1:11:45.800 infallible when all people are infallible. I mean they're they're 1:11:45.840 --> 1:11:49.599 they're all fallible. Excuse me. They all have failures and 1:11:50.560 --> 1:11:52.800 if you take a look at one one pope said 1:11:52.840 --> 1:11:55.519 to another, there's still some differences. So how can one 1:11:55.560 --> 1:11:59.080 be infallible if he's contradicting what another says. That's a 1:11:59.080 --> 1:12:03.720 good point. Our humanity is what makes us vulnerable in 1:12:03.840 --> 1:12:07.439 all situations, and UH, it's something we need to be 1:12:07.520 --> 1:12:12.080 mindful of. But thank you. In regards to your question 1:12:12.160 --> 1:12:17.040 whether the pope should UH resign or not? Um, I 1:12:17.080 --> 1:12:20.480 think the more important question would be if he knew 1:12:20.520 --> 1:12:25.200 about this, could he be charges as an accessory after 1:12:25.280 --> 1:12:28.720 the fact. It depends on the jurisdiction. I guess you know. 1:12:29.160 --> 1:12:32.400 I'll reach out to our lawyer friend, Wendy Patrick and 1:12:32.439 --> 1:12:34.400 see if she can get us an answer. Maybe she'll 1:12:34.400 --> 1:12:36.840 send me a text on it. Thank you, James, I 1:12:36.840 --> 1:12:40.000 appreciate you. I love my friends in Mississippi. Let's check 1:12:40.040 --> 1:12:42.960 in quickly with Ike. I don't know where you're calling from, Mike, 1:12:43.040 --> 1:12:48.320 but welcome to the Buck Sexton Show, Florida. Okay, hey, Ike, 1:12:50.800 --> 1:12:55.280 are you talking to me? Did we lose him? Can 1:12:55.360 --> 1:12:58.719 you hear me barely? You got about just under a minute. 1:12:58.760 --> 1:13:02.360 What's your question? Real quickly? My name is Mike and 1:13:02.439 --> 1:13:10.360 not Mike hesitant. Um anyway, um uh I was you 1:13:10.439 --> 1:13:14.040 were you made mention of UH priests should get married. 1:13:14.040 --> 1:13:16.759 I believe and I think that's long overdue that priests 1:13:16.760 --> 1:13:19.200 are would be getting married and they had this pin 1:13:19.320 --> 1:13:24.400 up energy and it would it would change the status 1:13:24.439 --> 1:13:28.639 of who's going for priesthood and everything like that. And Uh, 1:13:29.000 --> 1:13:32.320 I had some other interesting thoughts, uh that we're hanging 1:13:32.360 --> 1:13:34.800 on a second, Mike. I'll try and get back to you. 1:13:34.920 --> 1:13:38.320 Michael Pelca, wrapping up another hour on the Buck Sexton Show. 1:13:38.439 --> 1:13:42.160 Come on back. We'll get after it. Buck Sexton mission, 1:13:42.240 --> 1:13:49.120 decoding the news and disseminating information with actionable intelligence. Make 1:13:49.160 --> 1:13:52.799 no mistake, American, rank You're a great American Again. This 1:13:53.240 --> 1:13:59.559 is the Buck Sexton Show. A former CIA analysts, remember Sexton. 1:14:02.160 --> 1:14:05.120 Michael Pelka is sitting in for Buck Sexton tonight. Buck 1:14:05.240 --> 1:14:10.280 returns tomorrow evening. He's winging at home from the left coast, 1:14:11.120 --> 1:14:15.639 literally the left coast. Uh. We have been hammering on 1:14:15.680 --> 1:14:19.800 a solid topic for almost the last hour here talking 1:14:19.800 --> 1:14:22.599 about the Vatican the scandal. I do need to get 1:14:22.640 --> 1:14:26.120 to a couple other stories before the night is over. 1:14:26.240 --> 1:14:28.200 We have to get to the d n C and 1:14:28.240 --> 1:14:32.759 their committee ruling that they just changed because they realized 1:14:32.800 --> 1:14:37.120 it was contradictory to all their craziness and some great 1:14:37.160 --> 1:14:40.800 moments in Trump history. We will get to that and 1:14:41.000 --> 1:14:45.080 what the President said that some people on the left 1:14:45.120 --> 1:14:48.479 are freaking out about. When it comes to social media. 1:14:48.520 --> 1:14:51.280 He talked about Google and one of the things he said, 1:14:51.360 --> 1:14:54.519 as a bunch of my friends. Yes, I have friends 1:14:54.520 --> 1:14:58.320 who are liberals freaking out, but I gotta get quickly 1:14:58.439 --> 1:15:02.280 to the phones because they are smoking. Of course. Eight 1:15:02.439 --> 1:15:06.840 four buck eight four four nine to eight to five. 1:15:07.439 --> 1:15:10.880 We were asking the question should the pope step down 1:15:10.920 --> 1:15:14.720 if he's caught or there is proofing knew about the 1:15:14.920 --> 1:15:19.200 scandals with the children and covered it up, and Mike 1:15:19.320 --> 1:15:21.799 was on the phone from Florida and we were running 1:15:21.840 --> 1:15:24.320 out of the hour, So Mike, I give you the 1:15:24.360 --> 1:15:30.400 floor to once again address your statement. Thanks. Um, can 1:15:30.439 --> 1:15:32.960 you hear me? Okay? You're perfect rock and roll man, 1:15:33.120 --> 1:15:37.960 toll you okay. Um. I was just, uh, you know, 1:15:38.520 --> 1:15:40.760 I think you may have mentioned that it would be 1:15:40.800 --> 1:15:43.920 a good idea if priests could get married, and I've 1:15:43.960 --> 1:15:47.080 been thinking that quite some time. My wife was raised 1:15:47.120 --> 1:15:52.680 as a Catholic um and um, I don't know it's 1:15:52.720 --> 1:15:57.400 too much about Catholicism myself, but anyway, it just seemed 1:15:57.400 --> 1:15:58.920 like I could be a good idea if they could 1:15:58.920 --> 1:16:03.200 get married. And I think in my draw a different 1:16:03.640 --> 1:16:07.639 different people into the priesthood for one thing, but also 1:16:07.840 --> 1:16:11.679 there's if there if there's been up energy, it could 1:16:11.680 --> 1:16:16.360 create negative energy. If if that makes any sense, I 1:16:16.479 --> 1:16:19.320 understand where you're going there, Mike. I got it. So 1:16:19.560 --> 1:16:23.360 I think it's something I wish my faith would consider that. 1:16:23.439 --> 1:16:27.200 But that's an argument for bigger brains than mine. But 1:16:27.640 --> 1:16:29.880 I know they makes it off of what Paul had 1:16:29.920 --> 1:16:33.040 said something. But it should have been just a wish 1:16:33.080 --> 1:16:36.520 of his instead of making an a mandate like that. 1:16:36.800 --> 1:16:41.120 You know, that's what That's what kind of bothers me. 1:16:41.280 --> 1:16:44.160 You know, if somebody, if a priest chooses to be 1:16:44.360 --> 1:16:48.880 completely selivant and everything else, you know, then that's I 1:16:48.920 --> 1:16:52.840 think that's a great thing. But I was if I 1:16:52.840 --> 1:16:55.479 could share an example when I lived in Atlanta, but 1:16:55.720 --> 1:16:58.960 I think it was the early nineties when a great 1:16:59.040 --> 1:17:02.559 priest was there. I might have been named Martino, maybe 1:17:02.560 --> 1:17:05.720 Father Martino or something like that, and he got into 1:17:05.760 --> 1:17:09.679 an affair with a young lady and he was bringing 1:17:09.800 --> 1:17:12.679 all the preachers before this happened, he was bringing all 1:17:12.680 --> 1:17:17.439 the preachers are different um you know um Protestantry, which 1:17:17.479 --> 1:17:19.479 would say we're all meet on a certain morning and 1:17:19.520 --> 1:17:22.720 pray together. I was bringing the whole church, all the 1:17:22.800 --> 1:17:25.599 church segments together. It was a great thing, and then 1:17:25.600 --> 1:17:29.080 he got busted for having a girlfriend and everything like that, 1:17:29.160 --> 1:17:31.160 and I don't know whatever happened, and he got de 1:17:31.360 --> 1:17:36.400 frocked right away, and uh, anyway, yeah, he got he 1:17:36.479 --> 1:17:40.639 got thrown out for being human, which you know, my 1:17:40.640 --> 1:17:42.840 my faith may not like me saying that, but it's 1:17:42.920 --> 1:17:45.320 one of those things. Thanks Mike, I got a rock 1:17:45.320 --> 1:17:47.800 and roll. Let's go to Texas and Fort Worth, one 1:17:47.800 --> 1:17:50.920 of my favorite towns in the whole wide world. Larry 1:17:50.960 --> 1:17:54.559 and Fort Worth. Welcome to the buck Sexton Show. Well, 1:17:54.600 --> 1:17:59.160 thank you, Michael. Yeah, the whole uh the buckle with 1:17:59.320 --> 1:18:02.920 the is going on now hurt so many people and 1:18:03.040 --> 1:18:08.439 being Catholic myself, Um, it's just said. But then you 1:18:08.479 --> 1:18:11.960 think about back in two thousand two when I guess 1:18:12.000 --> 1:18:17.479 the us um presuduced issue came about, what did they 1:18:17.520 --> 1:18:19.360 do well, they had that I think it was called 1:18:19.400 --> 1:18:22.400 the John James Commission that they involl. The bishops met 1:18:22.600 --> 1:18:25.800 in Dallas and decided what they were going to deal 1:18:25.880 --> 1:18:31.920 with the scandal, and basically they just refocused it, putting 1:18:31.960 --> 1:18:36.360 the blame on the parishoners. We're not Everyone who's involved 1:18:36.400 --> 1:18:39.240 in any kind of ministry at the church has to 1:18:39.280 --> 1:18:43.080 go through this program calling called the Keeping Children and 1:18:43.280 --> 1:18:48.040 Vulnerable Adults STAS. But it was like the priest say 1:18:48.120 --> 1:18:51.800 that they go through it too. But well, I think 1:18:51.840 --> 1:18:55.080 we need drastic action. Obviously, what we did in two 1:18:55.080 --> 1:18:59.080 thousand and two and anything between then and now it's 1:18:59.160 --> 1:19:02.479 not appropriate it and we need drastic action. And those 1:19:02.520 --> 1:19:05.760 of us who want to save the church for the 1:19:05.800 --> 1:19:09.960 good Catholic priests and nuns are are crying out for 1:19:10.000 --> 1:19:13.559 the leadership to do something. So I hope that works out. 1:19:14.120 --> 1:19:16.479 Take careful worth for me, Larry, It's one of my 1:19:16.560 --> 1:19:18.720 favorite talents. I got to check in real quickly with 1:19:18.800 --> 1:19:25.480 josh in Ohio. Joshua, welcome to the Buck Sexton program. Hi, hey, 1:19:25.520 --> 1:19:28.559 thanks for taking my call. Of course, sir, where where 1:19:28.560 --> 1:19:33.600 are you on this topic? Are you changing topics on me? No? Uh. 1:19:33.680 --> 1:19:36.920 You know a lot of people are suggesting that if 1:19:36.960 --> 1:19:40.200 they would allow the priest to marry that things would change, 1:19:40.240 --> 1:19:43.240 But the real question is I think it points to 1:19:43.600 --> 1:19:47.599 the need for reformation in the Catholic Church. You see, 1:19:47.600 --> 1:19:52.080 these priests they accumulate money through the years, and they 1:19:52.080 --> 1:19:54.360 have properties and things like this, and when they die, 1:19:55.200 --> 1:19:57.320 they don't have kids to leave them to. And uh, 1:19:57.439 --> 1:20:01.000 for centuries. They've left all their earthly materials to the 1:20:01.000 --> 1:20:03.439 Catholic Church. And it seems to me that if you 1:20:03.479 --> 1:20:07.480 follow the money, I think there's an answer there. Uh 1:20:07.520 --> 1:20:10.080 and uh, I mean the Bible clearly says Peter was 1:20:10.080 --> 1:20:12.040 the first pope, but he had Jesus, he was mother 1:20:12.080 --> 1:20:15.040 in law, so he was a married man. Uh. A 1:20:15.200 --> 1:20:16.880 matter of fact, the Bible says they'll come a time 1:20:16.880 --> 1:20:19.880 when people will come forbidding to marry. So it's not 1:20:19.920 --> 1:20:21.920 a doctrinal issue. It seems to me that it's a 1:20:22.040 --> 1:20:25.120 it's a matter of money. And Uh. Sometimes when you 1:20:25.160 --> 1:20:27.400 follow the buck, I think you get the answer there. Yeah, 1:20:27.439 --> 1:20:30.200 money does have an effect on all of us, doesn't it, 1:20:30.280 --> 1:20:34.599 And some it affects more than others. A really good point, Josh, 1:20:34.640 --> 1:20:37.120 thank you for bringing that up. If you want to vote, 1:20:37.439 --> 1:20:39.880 I'm gonna keep this pull up for twenty three more 1:20:39.960 --> 1:20:43.200 hours on Twitter at stunt brain all one word s 1:20:43.240 --> 1:20:45.400 t U N T B R A I N and 1:20:45.880 --> 1:20:50.400 will obviously post the results there right now. Overwhelming majority 1:20:50.479 --> 1:20:55.840 says the pope should be removed or resign, especially if 1:20:55.880 --> 1:20:59.360 he knew, and there's still people saying depends on how 1:20:59.439 --> 1:21:02.760 much he new if one child was abused in the 1:21:02.800 --> 1:21:05.880 pope new and covered it up. I'm sorry that that 1:21:06.000 --> 1:21:10.880 violates my my my rules. I got to get into 1:21:11.000 --> 1:21:16.120 something the President has been getting some heat about. The 1:21:16.160 --> 1:21:19.679 President was going after Google today and then the last 1:21:20.439 --> 1:21:24.240 few days we have heard President Trump make comments about 1:21:24.320 --> 1:21:31.200 social media banning or quieting or stifling conservative speech. And 1:21:31.360 --> 1:21:34.719 I am a gigantic fan of free speech, especially speech 1:21:34.760 --> 1:21:38.280 I don't agree with. I will defend your right to 1:21:38.360 --> 1:21:41.559 be as offensive as you want, of course, as long 1:21:41.640 --> 1:21:45.840 as you realize there are consequences if you are an 1:21:45.840 --> 1:21:50.280 offensive prig p R. I g uh, if you are 1:21:50.320 --> 1:21:53.839 an offensive prig, and I defend your right to free speech, 1:21:53.920 --> 1:21:57.200 but that means you're not going to get jobs. If 1:21:57.640 --> 1:22:01.160 you wanted to be a kindergarten teacher, that's the penalty 1:22:01.240 --> 1:22:05.440 you pay. But in social media their private companies. Obviously 1:22:05.520 --> 1:22:09.160 the First Amendment doesn't apply to them. And I think 1:22:09.240 --> 1:22:12.920 that we as free citizens vote with a wallets or 1:22:12.960 --> 1:22:17.360 our presence online. Look at how Facebook has been affected 1:22:17.800 --> 1:22:21.120 when so many of us said, wait a minute, Facebook, 1:22:21.360 --> 1:22:25.240 you're shutting down our free speech. You're sitting on conservatives, 1:22:25.520 --> 1:22:29.439 you're limiting who's gonna see my Facebook posts and then Twitter, 1:22:29.680 --> 1:22:34.000 I was shadow band. I don't know if you understand it, 1:22:34.560 --> 1:22:37.000 but there are some of us who will post things 1:22:37.080 --> 1:22:41.200 on Twitter and no one will see them, and we 1:22:41.280 --> 1:22:45.040 won't be told that they're being squelched. We won't be 1:22:45.080 --> 1:22:48.000 told that Twitter is kind of putting that tweet over 1:22:48.040 --> 1:22:51.200 in the corner where nobody can see it. Well, it 1:22:51.320 --> 1:22:54.920 happens when you use certain words. If I go through 1:22:54.960 --> 1:22:56.840 some of my tweets from the day and I tend 1:22:56.840 --> 1:22:59.679 to report on things that interest me or retweet things 1:22:59.680 --> 1:23:03.840 that trust me, I can see let some of them 1:23:03.880 --> 1:23:07.479 get more attention than others, and I know Twitter is 1:23:07.479 --> 1:23:11.120 gonna say no, it's because they're just not interesting. But 1:23:11.320 --> 1:23:16.080 I have taken the same tweet about Second Amendment rights 1:23:16.120 --> 1:23:20.679 and remove the word gun and reposted the exact same 1:23:20.720 --> 1:23:26.320 tweet without the word gun, and it's seen by instantly 1:23:26.520 --> 1:23:31.120 almost a thousand people. So Twitter is shadow banning people. 1:23:32.080 --> 1:23:37.680 Facebook is selectively choosing who can have access to its platform. 1:23:37.840 --> 1:23:40.799 YouTube has done so with a guy I don't respect 1:23:40.840 --> 1:23:47.160 at all. YouTube has sat on Alex Jones. So I'm 1:23:47.200 --> 1:23:49.400 I'm not a fan of Alex Jones, but I think 1:23:49.439 --> 1:23:52.519 the public should vote on whether or not his content 1:23:53.240 --> 1:23:57.479 is worthwhile seeing. So when the President gets up this 1:23:57.560 --> 1:24:00.439 morning and after saying some things about social media and 1:24:00.479 --> 1:24:03.720 Twitter and Facebook and Instagram, and now he makes a 1:24:03.760 --> 1:24:09.000 comment about Google, because we know Google is left leaning, 1:24:09.360 --> 1:24:13.479 and Google has just turned down an invitation to appear 1:24:13.560 --> 1:24:18.360 before a Senate Select Intelligence Committee. And there they said, no, thanks, 1:24:18.600 --> 1:24:21.439 we don't we don't need to be there. Well, I 1:24:21.520 --> 1:24:23.479 do think you need to be there. If you are 1:24:23.640 --> 1:24:27.240 so big that you control a gigantic portion of the Internet, 1:24:27.920 --> 1:24:30.680 then the government has the right to find out what 1:24:30.720 --> 1:24:34.479 the heck you're up to if you are indoctrinating or 1:24:34.520 --> 1:24:40.320 controlling so much information as to obscuring access to certain 1:24:40.360 --> 1:24:44.439 things that might let people have the whole story. I 1:24:44.520 --> 1:24:49.960 think it's important. So I was reading this afternoon on 1:24:50.360 --> 1:24:53.400 MRC on NewsBusters dot org. I don't know if you 1:24:53.439 --> 1:24:58.120 ever go over there and not everything a NewsBusters hits me, 1:24:58.200 --> 1:25:02.320 but this one did. It's a story from Ashley Ray 1:25:02.360 --> 1:25:07.680 Goldenberg and Dan Gainer of NewsBusters. It's a titled Censored 1:25:07.720 --> 1:25:12.200 how online media companies are suppressing conservative speech. And we 1:25:12.320 --> 1:25:18.880 know about Twitter and Facebook and and YouTube shutting down conservatives, 1:25:19.960 --> 1:25:22.240 and look, I was one of the people who went 1:25:22.439 --> 1:25:25.920 with Glenn back to Facebook a couple of years ago 1:25:26.040 --> 1:25:31.360 when Mark Zuckerberg and Cheryl Sandberg brought in conservatives to 1:25:31.439 --> 1:25:35.200 say we need you, we respect you, and then they 1:25:35.360 --> 1:25:38.360 did whatever the hell they wanted. So I was there. 1:25:38.400 --> 1:25:41.680 I witnessed all that, and we met with some of 1:25:41.720 --> 1:25:44.639 the people from Twitter. I think Jack Dorsey was at 1:25:44.680 --> 1:25:48.479 the lunch we're at, and they freely admitted of the 1:25:48.520 --> 1:25:54.559 people who work in these organizations are liberals. You can't 1:25:54.560 --> 1:25:57.760 swing a cat and hit a conservative. I'm not advocating 1:25:57.800 --> 1:26:03.240 for cat swinging, but in this story, there are suggestions 1:26:03.479 --> 1:26:08.720 from the folks in MRC on what tech companies can do. 1:26:09.760 --> 1:26:15.280 People are Google and Facebook and Twitter, and I think 1:26:15.360 --> 1:26:20.960 the suggestions are actually pretty good. Starting with people our policy, 1:26:21.280 --> 1:26:26.280 they they write Goldenberg and Gainer right, Tech companies like 1:26:26.320 --> 1:26:30.080 Google and Facebook are making a nominal effort to hire conservatives, 1:26:30.120 --> 1:26:34.160 but it doesn't address the core problem within the organizations. 1:26:34.200 --> 1:26:39.200 The company need to eliminate policies and biases that discriminate 1:26:39.320 --> 1:26:44.120 against conservatives so we know they exist. Let's just be open. 1:26:45.040 --> 1:26:49.559 And the next suggestion is transparency. We need transparency and 1:26:49.640 --> 1:26:56.880 tech companies the organizations either have stuff restricted or deleted. 1:26:57.000 --> 1:27:00.559 Need to know if you're gonna do it, tell and 1:27:00.600 --> 1:27:06.799 tell us why. And at this pace, technology is always 1:27:06.800 --> 1:27:11.799 ahead of legislation. Technology always leads, and then the government 1:27:11.880 --> 1:27:16.320 catches up. I'm I'm the last guy who wants more 1:27:16.400 --> 1:27:20.800 government regulation. But I think we need rules from these companies. 1:27:20.880 --> 1:27:24.080 If they're going to purport to be supporters of free speech, 1:27:24.479 --> 1:27:29.519 we need to know what are your rules. And they 1:27:29.560 --> 1:27:33.880 also say they should avoid partnering with bad actors. Yeah, 1:27:34.000 --> 1:27:38.320 and bad actors include people who are agenda driven, like 1:27:38.400 --> 1:27:43.439 the Southern Poverty Law Center. The Southern Poverty Law Center 1:27:44.200 --> 1:27:48.880 is not a a fair group. As a matter of fact, 1:27:48.880 --> 1:27:53.360 they got in trouble for slapping terrorists labels and calling 1:27:53.479 --> 1:27:56.040 people bad actors. Had to pay I think it was 1:27:56.120 --> 1:28:01.559 six million dollars in fines. So if social media, all 1:28:01.600 --> 1:28:07.360 these platforms, Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, Google, would avoid partnering with 1:28:07.720 --> 1:28:10.880 agenda driven people, people who are funded by George Somers, 1:28:10.920 --> 1:28:15.439 I think we'd have a much better situation. And uh, 1:28:15.680 --> 1:28:20.320 neutral fact checkers yeah, I don't know if neutral fact 1:28:20.439 --> 1:28:24.559 checkers exist because as long as algorithms are involved, neutral 1:28:24.600 --> 1:28:27.760 fact checkers aren't real. If you want to see a 1:28:27.800 --> 1:28:30.880 copy of this story. I think it's worth reading, and 1:28:30.960 --> 1:28:33.120 I think the President's going to get a lot of 1:28:33.160 --> 1:28:35.640 heat for calling out Google. And I I have a 1:28:35.640 --> 1:28:37.880 friend who's pretty big in the media who said, Hey, 1:28:40.320 --> 1:28:44.320 just because you don't like what Google's doing doesn't mean 1:28:44.360 --> 1:28:46.559 you can go after them. They are one of the 1:28:46.640 --> 1:28:51.479 biggest companies in the world. Well, your size doesn't give 1:28:51.520 --> 1:28:55.960 you the right to trample on people. If that were 1:28:56.000 --> 1:29:00.880 the case, we'd all be in big trouble. So yeah, 1:29:00.960 --> 1:29:05.639 I'm nervous about what Google and Facebook and Twitter and 1:29:05.720 --> 1:29:10.599 YouTube are doing to conservative speech. And as someone who 1:29:10.640 --> 1:29:14.280 reported on the i r S shutting down conservatives, the 1:29:14.320 --> 1:29:17.960 first national breaking story on the i r S going 1:29:18.040 --> 1:29:23.040 after conservative groups, this really makes my skin crawl. You 1:29:23.080 --> 1:29:25.760 can see the article in NewsBusters. Like I said, I 1:29:25.800 --> 1:29:28.000 will tweet out a link to it. Michael pelka in 1:29:28.080 --> 1:29:31.080 for Buck Sexton when we get back, the d n 1:29:31.120 --> 1:29:34.960 C has a gender problem. Oh it's a big one 1:29:35.040 --> 1:29:37.160 and we're going to have some fun with it. Plus 1:29:37.640 --> 1:29:42.400 the Din and Dash jerk who is facing thirteen years 1:29:42.400 --> 1:29:46.479 in jail. Yeah, it's real. Michael pelca in for Buck Sexton, 1:29:46.560 --> 1:29:55.479 Come on back. Michael pelke in for Bucks Sexton tonight. 1:29:55.560 --> 1:29:59.120 Buck is back tomorrow hanging out with the audience. I 1:29:59.240 --> 1:30:04.400 so appreciate you, and uh, we we've got politics happening tonight. 1:30:04.560 --> 1:30:09.240 As these primaries are going on. Of course, Arizona is 1:30:09.320 --> 1:30:17.600 picking the candidate to replace Jeff Flake, Senator Flake leaving retiring, 1:30:18.560 --> 1:30:20.760 and it's going to be interesting who's going to win 1:30:20.840 --> 1:30:27.880 that establishment favorite. Martha McSally, a veteran, could be there. 1:30:28.680 --> 1:30:31.839 You also could have Kelly Ward. And let's not forget 1:30:31.920 --> 1:30:34.559 Joe R. Pio. Sure if our Pio is in there. 1:30:35.000 --> 1:30:38.879 And at the same time, the governor, Governor Doug Doocey 1:30:39.200 --> 1:30:43.680 of Arizona has the task of replacing John McCain. Now 1:30:43.720 --> 1:30:46.120 he has to pick a Republican. Those are the rules 1:30:46.120 --> 1:30:49.799 in Arizona. You have to select someone of the same 1:30:49.880 --> 1:30:54.479 party of the guy you're replacing. So if if God forbid, 1:30:54.560 --> 1:30:58.920 Arizona had a Democratic governor and a Republican senator resigned 1:30:58.960 --> 1:31:03.559 in that state, the Democratic governor would be forced to 1:31:03.680 --> 1:31:10.880 replace the now deceased John McCain with another Republican. And 1:31:10.920 --> 1:31:13.439 I wonder maybe we should do a quick, uh, a 1:31:13.560 --> 1:31:16.639 quick poll for the rest of the show who should 1:31:16.720 --> 1:31:19.640 replace John McCain. Who do you think. There's talk of 1:31:19.680 --> 1:31:23.400 Sydney McCain, there's talk of Megan McCain and and there's 1:31:23.439 --> 1:31:29.440 six other McCain kids. There's talk of insiders, former associates 1:31:29.479 --> 1:31:32.360 of of Senator McCain stepping in. So who do you 1:31:32.439 --> 1:31:37.200 think should replace John McCain. We're going to have either 1:31:37.640 --> 1:31:42.720 mc sally or uh Kelly Ward or or Sheriff or 1:31:42.800 --> 1:31:47.640 Pyo as the the GOP nominee to face the Democrat 1:31:47.720 --> 1:31:51.200 for Jeff Flake seat. And that's not a lock, but 1:31:51.360 --> 1:31:55.679 we could put anyone, pretty much anyone in that seat 1:31:56.320 --> 1:31:59.800 to replace John McCain now that he's no longer with us, 1:32:00.560 --> 1:32:03.640 So that's a hot topic. We'll also get to the 1:32:03.720 --> 1:32:06.240 story of the d n C and their problem with 1:32:06.280 --> 1:32:10.560 their committees. They got a big gender problem with their committees, 1:32:10.600 --> 1:32:12.639 and most of that has to do with the fact 1:32:12.720 --> 1:32:16.240 that they got a big gender problem, So we'll dive 1:32:16.280 --> 1:32:18.760 into that. Michael Pelkin and for Buck sex and the 1:32:18.880 --> 1:32:24.559 number to suggest every place for for John McCain eight hundred, 1:32:24.640 --> 1:32:27.360 buck eight four four, nine hundred to a to five. 1:32:27.520 --> 1:32:39.360 Let's go. He's back with you now. Because when it 1:32:39.400 --> 1:32:44.519 comes to the fight for truth, the fuck never stops. 1:32:44.560 --> 1:32:48.520 Michael Pelka in for Bucks Sexton tonight. Buck returns tomorrow, 1:32:48.520 --> 1:32:51.439 happy to be here. We've got a half hour left here, 1:32:51.479 --> 1:32:53.479 a little bit less. If you want to weigh in, 1:32:54.040 --> 1:32:58.160 tell me who should governor doucy a point to John 1:32:58.240 --> 1:33:02.720 McCain's seat. I'm totally against a McCain family member, just 1:33:02.880 --> 1:33:07.880 completely against it. We don't have political families dynasties in 1:33:07.960 --> 1:33:11.120 this country. At least uh we did for a while. 1:33:11.240 --> 1:33:14.719 But I didn't like the Bush dynasty theory. I didn't 1:33:14.760 --> 1:33:18.800 like the Clinton dynasty theory. They're still thinking Chelsea has 1:33:18.840 --> 1:33:23.679 a shot. No, didn't like the Kennedy dynasty theory. So 1:33:24.720 --> 1:33:28.719 I'm against a McCain. So governor, you gotta pick somebody 1:33:28.720 --> 1:33:32.360 who will hold that seat till next time of that 1:33:32.840 --> 1:33:37.040 seat up for election, choose wisely, people, if you want 1:33:37.080 --> 1:33:41.800 to weigh in, eight four four Buck eight duck. Big 1:33:41.840 --> 1:33:45.600 news out of Florida in their primaries. Rhonda Santas a 1:33:45.680 --> 1:33:51.160 guy the the President endorsed is Um up for the 1:33:51.320 --> 1:33:55.839 gubernatorial race. So he's got a good shot, and maybe 1:33:56.200 --> 1:34:00.599 a Senate seat could flip with a Democratic senator flipping 1:34:00.680 --> 1:34:05.080 for Republican senator in that state as we'll be watching 1:34:05.120 --> 1:34:08.960 that in UH sixty nine and a half days are 1:34:09.400 --> 1:34:13.400 the Florida Governor Rick Scott is going to face off 1:34:13.479 --> 1:34:17.920 with Democratic Senator Bill Nelson in that race coming up 1:34:17.960 --> 1:34:21.479 just around the corner. So get people out and vote. 1:34:21.960 --> 1:34:24.840 And speaking of the Democrats, they've had an interesting couple 1:34:24.880 --> 1:34:28.280 of weeks as they're trying to figure out how they 1:34:28.280 --> 1:34:31.880 are going to go after the president. I know they're 1:34:31.880 --> 1:34:35.439 working state by state, district by district on mid terms. 1:34:35.520 --> 1:34:41.280 I know that's happening, so we already understand that. But 1:34:41.400 --> 1:34:44.960 the big question is going forward and they're starting to 1:34:45.000 --> 1:34:49.519 put the structure underneath them. We saw yesterday the news 1:34:49.560 --> 1:34:54.160 that the Democrats had basically stripped the super delegates from 1:34:54.200 --> 1:34:58.920 their selection of a candidate process, and the superdelegates were 1:34:59.000 --> 1:35:03.960 what Hillary Clint used to guarantee she would beat Bernie Sanders. 1:35:04.640 --> 1:35:09.080 Bernie Sanders had that that nomination stolen from him. I 1:35:09.240 --> 1:35:13.080 covered that campaign, both the GOP and the Democratic one. 1:35:13.160 --> 1:35:17.040 I attended rallies, I was at the conventions. Sanders had 1:35:17.040 --> 1:35:19.640 the energy, the crowds, the people. He did not have 1:35:19.720 --> 1:35:23.960 the machine behind him. They stole it from him. Debbie 1:35:23.960 --> 1:35:26.400 what's her name? Schultz should have been run out of 1:35:26.439 --> 1:35:31.080 that party. She's not. She was given cover and Bernie 1:35:31.080 --> 1:35:35.280 Sanders I didn't think. It's a little consolation to him now. 1:35:36.280 --> 1:35:40.200 But by removing the power of the super delegates, it 1:35:40.240 --> 1:35:46.760 won't happen again. Is Bernie strong enough to live through 1:35:46.840 --> 1:35:50.600 another one of these campaigns. He's pretty solid. He I 1:35:50.640 --> 1:35:52.680 think he's in better shape than Hillary, and he's a 1:35:52.680 --> 1:35:56.160 lot older than she is. But now the d n 1:35:56.200 --> 1:36:02.280 C has a problem, a gender problem, you know, because 1:36:02.360 --> 1:36:05.000 the way these progressives are, everything has to be fair, 1:36:05.800 --> 1:36:10.680 it has to be fairness. We have that fairness. So 1:36:10.840 --> 1:36:16.920 the d n c's charter modified recently to say that 1:36:17.000 --> 1:36:21.920 all committees in the Democratic National Committee, all the subcommittees 1:36:22.640 --> 1:36:26.760 would be evenly divided between men and women. And they 1:36:26.800 --> 1:36:29.880 were out there saying, you see, all of our committees 1:36:29.920 --> 1:36:33.960 are going to have gender equality. We're going to have 1:36:34.120 --> 1:36:37.240 gender equality between the men and the women. That's it's 1:36:37.280 --> 1:36:40.760 the way our party looks. We are a diverse party 1:36:40.800 --> 1:36:44.439 with a commitment to inclusion and opportunity. And then somebody, 1:36:44.760 --> 1:36:51.800 excuse me, Mr Chairman, Tom Perez danc chairman, excuse me, 1:36:51.960 --> 1:36:56.760 Mr chairman, what about the people that agenda fluid. What 1:36:56.880 --> 1:37:00.120 about the people who you know, sometimes they feel like 1:37:00.280 --> 1:37:05.479 and not sometimes they don't. What about those people? And 1:37:05.479 --> 1:37:08.320 they went, oh, way better of meeting. We're gonna have 1:37:08.320 --> 1:37:09.800 a meeting on this. We need to figure out what 1:37:09.800 --> 1:37:11.840 we're gonna do. Because there are people who identifies the 1:37:11.920 --> 1:37:14.479 different gender than the gender they are. Because you know, 1:37:14.560 --> 1:37:17.759 we've now said that there there are non binary gender 1:37:17.840 --> 1:37:20.639 non binary members, that people who use a different preferred 1:37:20.640 --> 1:37:22.559 gender pronoun because they wake up today and they say, 1:37:22.560 --> 1:37:27.960 I want to be this. So the Democratic National Committee 1:37:28.040 --> 1:37:33.559 voted on Saturday to modify its charter to define gender 1:37:34.680 --> 1:37:39.080 as being determined by the self identification in order to 1:37:39.160 --> 1:37:45.519 include a classification for gender non binary members, which, so 1:37:45.680 --> 1:37:50.679 what does that do? What does that even mean? In order, 1:37:50.840 --> 1:37:54.240 you were out there saying we are the greatest party ever, 1:37:54.800 --> 1:37:58.040 we are the party that has equal representation for men 1:37:58.600 --> 1:38:03.120 and women, and then now you have to say, and 1:38:04.479 --> 1:38:07.400 we are going to have to have equal representation for 1:38:07.560 --> 1:38:09.960 the l g B, t q R, S, t u 1:38:10.080 --> 1:38:16.120 V community. How do you even make this happen? Are 1:38:16.120 --> 1:38:18.760 you going to have to now say we're going to 1:38:18.840 --> 1:38:22.720 have a a member on every committee. I know I 1:38:22.760 --> 1:38:26.519 intentionally use the word member, thank you. Are we going 1:38:26.560 --> 1:38:30.400 to have a straight mail and then a gay mail 1:38:31.160 --> 1:38:34.639 and then a fluid mail? Are are we even allowed 1:38:34.680 --> 1:38:37.600 to say that? Do we say g? Are we going 1:38:37.680 --> 1:38:41.679 to have preferred gender pronoun requirements for all of meetings? 1:38:42.479 --> 1:38:45.720 Do you understand the madness that is inside that has 1:38:45.800 --> 1:38:50.320 infiltrated the Democratic Party. I don't think they even understand 1:38:50.360 --> 1:38:55.080 it themselves, And yet they're trying to say that this 1:38:55.160 --> 1:39:00.000 is a really good thing. We adopted language that expand 1:39:00.040 --> 1:39:03.720 ends our definition of gender and make sure we can 1:39:03.760 --> 1:39:08.040 have gender non binary, non binary individuals participating in our 1:39:08.040 --> 1:39:11.040 full process. Look, we want everyone to feel like they 1:39:11.080 --> 1:39:16.519 have a voice in this country. But when you and 1:39:16.560 --> 1:39:20.479 I'm looking at you Democratic people, when you tell me 1:39:21.800 --> 1:39:26.080 that I'm a science denier because I don't believe your 1:39:26.160 --> 1:39:29.759 gender up climate stuff that is really just a scheme 1:39:29.920 --> 1:39:34.880 to snatch money and redistribute wealth when it's really not 1:39:34.960 --> 1:39:38.320 going to do anything to change the air quality or 1:39:38.320 --> 1:39:41.080 the water quality. When you call me a science denier, 1:39:41.640 --> 1:39:46.559 but then you deny the science behind gender, you have 1:39:46.680 --> 1:39:50.400 no stance. You have absolutely no stance. So I love 1:39:50.600 --> 1:39:54.720 seeing the fact that the d n C, which has 1:39:54.840 --> 1:39:59.840 every opportunity let's let's be clear. The Republicans are not 1:40:00.120 --> 1:40:05.680 exactly acting efficiently in order to keep control of the process. 1:40:06.400 --> 1:40:09.479 We shoot ourselves in the foot a lot. And if 1:40:09.520 --> 1:40:12.040 the d n C had half of its act together, 1:40:12.520 --> 1:40:16.519 they would be stomping. Their blue wave would be a reality. 1:40:16.560 --> 1:40:20.960 But no, we've got them now running scared. Now they're 1:40:21.000 --> 1:40:26.960 being chased by their own party internally with their gender parity. 1:40:27.200 --> 1:40:31.880 You gotta have gender parity now on your committees, or 1:40:31.960 --> 1:40:34.640 somebody inside is gonna yell, you know, we don't have 1:40:34.760 --> 1:40:37.760 enough one legged lesbians on this and they need to 1:40:37.800 --> 1:40:41.400 have a Native American background too, otherwise we can't be 1:40:41.439 --> 1:40:45.280 the party of the people. Talk about losing your way, 1:40:45.880 --> 1:40:49.679 and I mean no insult, no disrespect to the one 1:40:49.760 --> 1:40:54.200 legged lesbians of Native American descent, But you should be 1:40:54.200 --> 1:40:57.240 guaranteed a member on a d n C committee if 1:40:57.280 --> 1:41:02.639 that's the reality in your life. I'm saying, so watch 1:41:02.760 --> 1:41:05.439 this space. There's a great story in the National Review 1:41:05.479 --> 1:41:09.160 from Jack Crow about it, talking about how the Democrats 1:41:09.280 --> 1:41:12.960 changed the rules to say, yay, our committees are equal 1:41:13.040 --> 1:41:18.360 men and women, and then somebody went, excuse me, and 1:41:18.400 --> 1:41:22.360 now they had to basically rewrite everything, so killing the 1:41:22.439 --> 1:41:27.040 super delegates and now making sure that your committees have 1:41:27.280 --> 1:41:30.840 equal representation from all over. And by the way, while 1:41:30.840 --> 1:41:35.320 we're talking about the d n c UM, what happened 1:41:35.320 --> 1:41:39.600 to Keith Ellison? What happened to Representative Keith Ellison, the 1:41:39.600 --> 1:41:41.559 guy who wants to be the attorney general in the 1:41:41.600 --> 1:41:45.760 state of Minnesota and was charged with some pretty serious 1:41:47.080 --> 1:41:51.799 sexual aggressive behavior by an X. What happened to that story? 1:41:51.800 --> 1:41:55.200 Why isn't that story getting any attention? Oh? Oh, that's right. 1:41:56.280 --> 1:42:00.320 He's a Democrat, so you won't see it any where. 1:42:01.800 --> 1:42:07.240 It's just astounding to me. I'm not excusing crimes committed 1:42:07.240 --> 1:42:11.320 by anybody on the right if they got caught misusing 1:42:11.479 --> 1:42:16.160 campaign funds, you know who I'm talking about. But remember 1:42:16.240 --> 1:42:19.920 the me too moment was everything. Al Franken has got 1:42:20.000 --> 1:42:23.479 to be asking, wait a minute, Ellison gets to stay 1:42:23.640 --> 1:42:28.560 and I had to go. Yeah, Ellison apparently gets to 1:42:28.720 --> 1:42:33.599 stay and Al Franken, who I bet you, is thinking 1:42:33.600 --> 1:42:38.120 about a run again. Al Franken is gone. So there 1:42:38.240 --> 1:42:42.600 is a duplicitous nature to all the politics here, but 1:42:42.720 --> 1:42:45.240 it just seems to be taken to the highest level 1:42:45.680 --> 1:42:48.479 when you put the word democrat in front of it. 1:42:50.320 --> 1:42:52.559 Michael Pelka in for Buck Sexon, I have to get 1:42:52.720 --> 1:42:56.720 some crazy stories today. There there's a crazy story out 1:42:56.760 --> 1:43:05.960 there about pot and breast milk. Now, I'm a big 1:43:06.000 --> 1:43:10.240 fan of medical marijuana, and I'm somebody who, admittedly, in 1:43:10.280 --> 1:43:16.080 my unsupervised years in college, probably smoked my weight in marijuana. 1:43:16.120 --> 1:43:19.839 But I stopped smoking pot when I became an adult 1:43:19.960 --> 1:43:22.519 and got a job, a big, full time job in 1:43:22.720 --> 1:43:26.280 radio a long, long time ago. And I know everybody's 1:43:26.320 --> 1:43:29.400 gonna wait, you worked on the Wacky Morning Zoo, and 1:43:29.439 --> 1:43:32.160 you know I didn't. I didn't smoke pot when I 1:43:32.200 --> 1:43:35.320 was working on the Wacky Morning Zoo. I thought that 1:43:35.400 --> 1:43:38.760 was for my youthful days. So I'm not a fan 1:43:38.800 --> 1:43:42.519 of recreational marijuana. I don't think it's we know enough 1:43:42.560 --> 1:43:45.160 about it. I don't think we have a handle on 1:43:45.200 --> 1:43:48.160 what it does to people who are driving cars, et cetera, 1:43:48.360 --> 1:43:51.840 operating heavy machinery. I don't think it's a good thing. 1:43:52.960 --> 1:43:56.200 Medical marijuana A completely different story. I happened to have 1:43:56.280 --> 1:43:58.599 a niece for whom a law was written in the 1:43:58.640 --> 1:44:02.280 state of Illinois, who now can go to school with 1:44:02.439 --> 1:44:07.000 normal kids because she no longer has seizures. Thank you 1:44:07.080 --> 1:44:10.800 to medical marijuana. I have a friend who suffers from 1:44:11.080 --> 1:44:15.240 MS and but for the medical marijuana he uses, he 1:44:15.280 --> 1:44:20.200 would not be able to function in society. You know him. 1:44:20.240 --> 1:44:25.560 His name is Monte Williams. So I'm pro medical marijuana. 1:44:26.120 --> 1:44:30.120 I'm against recreational marijuana, and now i have extra evidence 1:44:30.160 --> 1:44:35.120 to be against it. Uh. The waste from from recreational 1:44:35.160 --> 1:44:40.280 marijuana is destroying the water systems in Oregon and the 1:44:40.320 --> 1:44:44.360 Portland area. So those people who live in that real 1:44:44.439 --> 1:44:48.960 green area of Oregon, the Portland area, yeah, they're recreational 1:44:49.000 --> 1:44:53.240 pot use is killing the water, both the trash and 1:44:53.360 --> 1:44:56.240 the use of water to grow the stuff. And now 1:44:56.320 --> 1:45:02.720 we hear that nursing my there's who smoke pot. Think 1:45:02.760 --> 1:45:06.960 about this. Nursing mothers who smoke pot, they probably stopped 1:45:07.040 --> 1:45:10.000 drinking when they got pregnant and said I'm gonna go 1:45:10.040 --> 1:45:12.240 through my whole pregnancy and not have a drink. That's 1:45:12.240 --> 1:45:14.120 good for you. Good for you if you did that. 1:45:14.800 --> 1:45:19.120 I know my mother drank through every pregnancy. We had 1:45:19.200 --> 1:45:22.400 nine kids in our family. She wasn't hammered, but she 1:45:22.520 --> 1:45:26.679 had a glass of wine at night. But it's your choice. 1:45:27.040 --> 1:45:31.120 But now in this case, in this case, nursing mothers 1:45:31.120 --> 1:45:36.479 are now showing up with marijuana in the breast milk 1:45:37.479 --> 1:45:41.679 and it stays in the system for up to six days. 1:45:41.800 --> 1:45:47.720 We're hearing another reason why I'm against recreational use. And 1:45:47.840 --> 1:45:51.519 where is the outcry for the kids on this one? Simple? 1:45:51.600 --> 1:45:53.160 I know a lot of you are gonna say, Mike, 1:45:53.200 --> 1:45:55.280 you don't get it. Yeah, I do get it. We 1:45:55.360 --> 1:45:58.160 don't know enough yet. We need to be a little 1:45:58.200 --> 1:46:01.479 bit smarter. That's all I'm saying. I got a couple 1:46:01.600 --> 1:46:04.479 more weird stories have to share with you, and these 1:46:04.479 --> 1:46:06.559 are the crazy stories of the day. The guy who's 1:46:06.600 --> 1:46:11.040 facing thirteen years in jail, thirteen years in a state 1:46:11.240 --> 1:46:13.880 prison for dine and Dash. We'll get to that. And 1:46:13.960 --> 1:46:17.280 a bride Zilla you won't believe. Michael pel and for 1:46:17.360 --> 1:46:28.080 Buck Sexton on the Buck Sexton Show, Michael PLC and 1:46:28.200 --> 1:46:31.759 for Buck Sexton. Tonight, guess this night went buying a blink. 1:46:32.479 --> 1:46:34.840 Thanks to all of you for helping out tonight, and 1:46:34.880 --> 1:46:41.080 I guess it's time for a great treat. Treat moments 1:46:41.920 --> 1:46:46.120 of President and Donald Pnald Trump Trump Trump. Yes, you 1:46:46.160 --> 1:46:49.760 could name many great moments. I'm predicting. I'm making a 1:46:49.840 --> 1:46:54.760 prediction tonight that Donald Trump's deal, his Napha deal, will 1:46:54.840 --> 1:46:58.840 be remembered as one of the greater deals, not just 1:46:59.000 --> 1:47:01.959 for what it did with trade between the US and Mexico, 1:47:02.080 --> 1:47:05.720 not of what it does to help Mexico's economy ultimately 1:47:05.800 --> 1:47:10.240 our economy, but how it shives China. And that's the 1:47:10.360 --> 1:47:12.920 art of the deal. So watch that space. Just keep 1:47:12.960 --> 1:47:16.519 an eye on that. And uh I I have to 1:47:16.560 --> 1:47:19.160 also do a shout out to a weird Al Yankovic 1:47:19.200 --> 1:47:21.400 who got a star in the Hollywood Walk of Fame 1:47:21.720 --> 1:47:26.400 and said the following, Please please don't pick ax my star. Okay, guys, 1:47:26.439 --> 1:47:31.960 I mean, I know it's all the rage these days, 1:47:32.120 --> 1:47:35.479 but that's not cool. Just you know, that's that's really 1:47:35.600 --> 1:47:40.639 just Please don't do that, unless unless, at some point 1:47:40.680 --> 1:47:45.160 in the future I do something unfathomably monstrous and evil, 1:47:45.240 --> 1:47:52.120 in which case serifying okay, go ahead makes sense. But 1:47:52.120 --> 1:47:54.680 but but anything short of that, please limit yourself to 1:47:54.760 --> 1:47:58.800 spitting and urinating. Okay, I have some class people had 1:47:58.880 --> 1:48:02.240 some class pape. Well, just spitting in urinating on weird 1:48:02.280 --> 1:48:05.800 el star. I'm a weird Al fan. The thirteen year 1:48:05.800 --> 1:48:08.639 old boy and me will always be excited for weird. 1:48:08.680 --> 1:48:11.479 Al uh, did you ever dine in Dash? There's a 1:48:11.560 --> 1:48:16.360 guy who's facing ten felony counts for allegedly skipping out 1:48:16.400 --> 1:48:20.599 on dates. He would set up dates all around l A, 1:48:21.000 --> 1:48:25.360 southern California, and he would meet the women, have dinner 1:48:25.600 --> 1:48:28.800 and then excuse himself just before the bill showed up 1:48:28.800 --> 1:48:31.880 and he'd leave. Eight of the women ended up paying 1:48:31.960 --> 1:48:35.120 the bill themselves, one thinking the guy would actually pay 1:48:35.120 --> 1:48:39.120 her back. The other two instances the women got a 1:48:39.240 --> 1:48:41.840 break from the restaurant. Well, cops caught up with the guy. 1:48:42.200 --> 1:48:47.280 He's now facing thirteen years in a state prison for 1:48:47.680 --> 1:48:52.040 felony felony dined in Dash? Who knew it was a 1:48:52.160 --> 1:48:55.479 felony for dining and dashing? And his meals in prison 1:48:55.640 --> 1:48:58.720 will be paid for by us the rest of us. 1:48:59.040 --> 1:49:02.400 And then the bride Zilla story from Hell. This one 1:49:02.920 --> 1:49:05.519 I love as well. I saw this on the Fox 1:49:05.560 --> 1:49:08.760 dot com. A bride canceled a wedding, broke up with 1:49:08.800 --> 1:49:12.639 the fiance four days before the wedding because her friends 1:49:12.640 --> 1:49:15.880 and family wouldn't cough up sixty grands so she could 1:49:15.920 --> 1:49:20.080 have her dream wedding. Um, millennials, I'm looking at you. 1:49:20.360 --> 1:49:23.040 These are a lot of the entitled listas who think 1:49:23.640 --> 1:49:26.120 that the rest of us should pay for them. No, 1:49:27.240 --> 1:49:31.160 I think this guy dodged a bullet. Sixty grands. She 1:49:31.240 --> 1:49:38.120 wanted her dream wedding. She wanted to be like a Kardashian. No, no, Madam, 1:49:38.240 --> 1:49:41.160 wonderful stories. I know it's a crazy stories. Wrapping up 1:49:41.160 --> 1:49:44.600 the night again. Buck will be here tomorrow. Uh he 1:49:44.760 --> 1:49:48.120 just asked the Godfather jump in. That's me, Michael Pelca. 1:49:48.160 --> 1:49:51.840 Follow me on Twitter at stunt Brain and hopefully next 1:49:51.840 --> 1:49:55.599 time he's out, I'll be back again. Until such time. 1:49:55.880 --> 1:50:05.559 As always, test studo, my friends. Test studo a tie 1:50:05.600 --> 1:50:08.080 on here in studio with Mark Buckman, the CEO of 1:50:08.120 --> 1:50:09.400 Global Verification
