Speaker 1: touched down in Singapore for his summit with Kim Jong Oon.
Speaker 1: Also well we know that the G seven summit had
Speaker 1: some more interesting fireworks than anticipated. There was talk of
Speaker 1: backstabbing and talk of betrayal, and the president given quite
Speaker 1: a lesson in diplomacy to Adjustin Trudeau of North We'll
Speaker 1: talk about that, plus what is going on with tariffs
Speaker 1: and the economy, and howard Democrats going to run on
Speaker 1: Trump is doing too well right now on those issues,
Speaker 1: That and more coming up. This is the bus Sexton Show,
Speaker 1: where the mission or mission is to decode what really
Speaker 1: matters with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake again. You're a
Speaker 1: great American Again. The Buck Sexton Show begins analyst. At
Speaker 1: least for me, my worst expectations were actually met this
Speaker 1: weekend at the G seven meetings. It's bad geo politics.
Speaker 1: His advisors go out using language that's usually reserved for,
Speaker 1: you know, maybe the leader of North Korea. Exactly right,
Speaker 1: you know, special places. The attacks against Trudeau were strangely,
Speaker 1: weirdly personal. I don't know if he is threatened by
Speaker 1: Justin Trudeau being younger. I have no idea Kinada. The
Speaker 1: G seven was an epic foreign policy fail. I mean,
Speaker 1: it was an easy lay up missed by the United States.
Speaker 1: So over the top. Yeah, well they were over that.
Speaker 1: Not even that's not even the way to describe it. Well,
Speaker 1: and it really was the language of war with out
Speaker 1: of curious, I figured fake news CNN. But you know
Speaker 1: I could tell by the question I have no idea
Speaker 1: you with CNN. After the question, I was just curious
Speaker 1: as to who you're with? You with CNN, I would
Speaker 1: say that the level of relationship is a ten. We
Speaker 1: have a great relationship Angela and Emmanuel adjustin the relationship
Speaker 1: that I've had is great. So you can tell that
Speaker 1: to you have fake friends at CNN. Welcome to the
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show. This President's amazing, Okay. I mean there
Speaker 1: there are some days where I come in here and
Speaker 1: I'm just like, I don't know what Thank God for
Speaker 1: Donald Trump. I don't know what else to say that
Speaker 1: the media was in such a little hasty fit over
Speaker 1: the weekend. There's such a bunch of snide, condescending, self
Speaker 1: important punks, clowns and losers. They really are. They're like, oh,
Speaker 1: how can you do if you are Barallary? It's like, okay,
Speaker 1: first of all, everybody stop hyperventilating about every thing, right,
Speaker 1: you know, we see this with every we see this
Speaker 1: on every issue, right, whatever Trump does something like this, yeah,
Speaker 1: dear man, you know, and then they'll say, oh no,
Speaker 1: withhe Obama, we talked about it too. It's like yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean you wrote about it, and it was like, well,
Speaker 1: this is a thing that happened today, let's move on.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just the disparity, the double standard. It's
Speaker 1: in every it's in everything. It's in everything, and and
Speaker 1: the fact that they pretend it's not is a joke. Alright.
Speaker 1: Anyone who was a little Obama it in the media
Speaker 1: for eight years then is a little anti Trump maniac now.
Speaker 1: And if they tell you otherwise, they're lying or they're
Speaker 1: just delusional. I actually it might be more delusion. I think.
Speaker 1: I think they believe it, so it's not really a
Speaker 1: lie because they believe the untruth. But you have this
Speaker 1: whole We played this montage for you about the G
Speaker 1: seven and Okay, this is what happened. It's pretty straightforward,
Speaker 1: and I gotta you know, at the top of the show,
Speaker 1: I just want to say this Trump has change the
Speaker 1: way that we are thinking about tariffs. If nothing else
Speaker 1: comes from this, at least now people understand that when
Speaker 1: they say look or remember, free trader. It's like, really, well,
Speaker 1: what do you think about all of the countries of
Speaker 1: the world that have tariffs in place, including lots of
Speaker 1: them that have big tariffs in place against US? Is
Speaker 1: that free trade? All right? I'm a free trader? Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: but what does that mean? This is like saying I
Speaker 1: believe in a free market all right? Does that mean
Speaker 1: you don't believe in cutting back regulation or fighting back
Speaker 1: against the Federal of Viathan when it tries to impose
Speaker 1: more regulation. No, free trade is a principle. It is
Speaker 1: not a reality right now, and there are tariffs in
Speaker 1: place even with a look. Canada is like family. I mean,
Speaker 1: when we're talking about international relations, Canada doesn't even really
Speaker 1: count as international relations. It's really, you know, almost intra
Speaker 1: national relations. I mean there there are buddies, there are
Speaker 1: a cousin. They're part of the family. You know, we
Speaker 1: get it right. And the way that the media is
Speaker 1: running around the rack like there's some huge rift and
Speaker 1: I don't think that the moose brigades are gonna come,
Speaker 1: you know, kind of come charging down after us throwing
Speaker 1: maple syrup bombs anytime soon. I think our Canadian buddies
Speaker 1: and we're all friends. It's all gonna be fine. So
Speaker 1: why all the hysteria, you know why they because they
Speaker 1: just did everything hate tramp. I'm I'm actually a little
Speaker 1: surprised they don't get more tired of it, the same thing,
Speaker 1: day in and day out, the same nonsense. Such a
Speaker 1: bunch of little whiners. And they don't bring anything from
Speaker 1: the table, you know, they don't bring anything worthwhile to
Speaker 1: these discussions. They're all just reporting on each other's reporting.
Speaker 1: It's gotta start with that. It's very little interesting original
Speaker 1: reporting that any of them are doing anyway, and so
Speaker 1: then it's just a questionable what are the stories that
Speaker 1: they choose to cover and how do they cover them.
Speaker 1: That's a much more important barometer for bias then whether
Speaker 1: something is covered, because everyone's covering the same crap, right,
Speaker 1: Everyone chases everybody else with this stuff, So it's all
Speaker 1: about how it fits in the narrative and what else
Speaker 1: is out there. But you know, let's just take a
Speaker 1: step back from it, because I know, the G seven
Speaker 1: thing happened for the weekend, we're got we got North
Speaker 1: Korea to get to, although I mean technically Singapore to
Speaker 1: get to. But the summit with North Korea. It's it
Speaker 1: hasn't happened yet, So once again we're stuck in this. Okay,
Speaker 1: well they're there, but they haven't in the meetings. But
Speaker 1: they're there, and here's what's at stake, and we've been
Speaker 1: talking about that a lot. We'll see. We need to
Speaker 1: moderate our expectations. I think it's gonna be good. I
Speaker 1: don't think it's gonna be amazing. Blow your mind, Oh
Speaker 1: my gosh. Trump has saved the planet. I but I
Speaker 1: think I think it'll be I think the outcome could
Speaker 1: be positive. I'm yes, I will say it. I am
Speaker 1: cautiously optimistic about Singapore. I am not betting on Singapore.
Speaker 1: We shall see, we'll get there. But but the trade
Speaker 1: and tariff discussion is fascinating because Trump has changed the
Speaker 1: way we talk about it, the same way that with immigration.
Speaker 1: Now we can have discussions about, well, is this really
Speaker 1: in our interest? Is our immigration policy in in Americans interests?
Speaker 1: Not what does the U N think? Not what do
Speaker 1: elite mediate calumness on the coast or whatever. We're not
Speaker 1: what they think about it? Is this something that we
Speaker 1: believe is good for us? And with immigration, he's he's
Speaker 1: single handedly changed things with trade. He has also changed
Speaker 1: the discussion. Now people are like, oh, you mean that
Speaker 1: there really is a whatever two sevent dairy tariff in
Speaker 1: place with with Canada in the US. That seems that
Speaker 1: seems rather punitive. And and that's where you get in
Speaker 1: this whole exchange with by the way they had they're
Speaker 1: gonna put some kind of a communica out there. What
Speaker 1: does it? What does that even mean anyway? It's like,
Speaker 1: there has no but and it's not legally binding. It
Speaker 1: doesn't really mean anything. It's just like, yeah, here's a
Speaker 1: statement of principles. You know, I guess what. The Soviet
Speaker 1: Union had a great constitution that said everybody gets free healthcare.
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean that it happened. I mean, I know
Speaker 1: that an extreme example. But but Trudeau, after the meeting
Speaker 1: with Trump, Trudeau decided to get a little hissy and
Speaker 1: this is what happened. Play five. I highlighted directly to
Speaker 1: the President that Canadians um did not take it lightly
Speaker 1: that the United States has moved forward with significant tariffs.
Speaker 1: It's kind of insulting. And I highlighted that it was
Speaker 1: not helping in our renegotiation of NAFTA or polite we're reasonable,
Speaker 1: but we also will not be pushed around. What does
Speaker 1: that you mean won't be pushed around? We're the negotiating
Speaker 1: over over tariffs. Right. A tariff is effectively attacks it is.
Speaker 1: It is a government tax on goods coming into that
Speaker 1: government's borders. It's in the short term at least Phil's
Speaker 1: government coffers, and it also helps domestic production. It gives
Speaker 1: them an advantage visa either competition outside that has to
Speaker 1: deal with the tariffs. Right. It also raises prices for consumers. Right,
Speaker 1: we know this is all the e com one I
Speaker 1: want aspect of tariffs, but it's a much more complicated
Speaker 1: discussion than just I'm a free trader. It's like, that's
Speaker 1: an easy thing to say, what does it mean? Because
Speaker 1: we don't have free trade right now? And the fact
Speaker 1: that here we are. And by the way, even Trump's
Speaker 1: well not as crazy as attractors because they actually think
Speaker 1: that he's like a lizard in a human suit and
Speaker 1: came from Mars and you know that there and some
Speaker 1: of them have like cable news shows, but they're completely
Speaker 1: out of their minds. But he is more honest. Trump
Speaker 1: haters that will say he has been on this issue
Speaker 1: of trade. He has been consistent for forty years or something.
Speaker 1: Now he's been saying we're getting you know, we're getting
Speaker 1: messed up here. This is bad. And Trudeau goes out
Speaker 1: there and as this stuff and look, this is what
Speaker 1: everybody was reporting on. Oh gosh, you know, now we've
Speaker 1: got some rift with our Canadian allies. It's not a
Speaker 1: big deal. It's not a big deal. Peter Navarro, who
Speaker 1: is Trump's well not necessarily mean. I think Kudlow might
Speaker 1: be his trade guru right now, but he's certainly in
Speaker 1: that conversation of top people with Trump and trade. And uh, actually,
Speaker 1: you know we can hear from Culdlow and Navarro play
Speaker 1: six and then seven. Please. There's a special place in
Speaker 1: the hell for any foreign leader that engages in bad
Speaker 1: faith diplomacy with President Donald J. Trump and then tries
Speaker 1: to stab him in the back on the way out
Speaker 1: the door. And that's what bad faith justin Trudeau did
Speaker 1: with that stunt press conference. He says that we are
Speaker 1: the problem with tariffs. They have enormous tariffs. I mean,
Speaker 1: they have tariffs on certain dairy and food products of
Speaker 1: a two D. He really kind of stabbed us in
Speaker 1: the back. He did a great disservice to the whole
Speaker 1: G seven. They were united in the G seven. They
Speaker 1: came together. President Trump was charming, good faith, and they
Speaker 1: were getting along famously. President Trump actually, and this is
Speaker 1: music to my ears, Jake, he went through those two
Speaker 1: days the conference talking about the need for a new
Speaker 1: free trade system, no tariffs. We were coming together beautifully, okay,
Speaker 1: and then he goes out there and posed this amateur
Speaker 1: political stunt. Yeah, Trudeau was trying to play to his base.
Speaker 1: So Trump said, you know what I am. I gonna
Speaker 1: sign your your your paper. You know I'm not. I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna be treated that way, especially when presidents on
Speaker 1: his way to this incredibly high stakes negotiation with North Korea.
Speaker 1: You can't have a close friend, which Canada's a close
Speaker 1: for I don't think Trudeau is necessarily close for me.
Speaker 1: You can't have a close friend, you know, stepping on
Speaker 1: a line like that without a bit of pushback. Again,
Speaker 1: it's within the family, Okay. No one's worried about our
Speaker 1: relationship with Canada. It's all gonna be fine. I mean,
Speaker 1: you're basically a part of America anyway, Canada. I know,
Speaker 1: people get mad when you say it. But come on,
Speaker 1: let's be real. You're like America Junior and colder um.
Speaker 1: Trump made this very clear that what does he want?
Speaker 1: What what's the basis of the G seven? Uh did
Speaker 1: you seven? Terror situation that he would like? And here's
Speaker 1: what he said, play it. I did. No tariffs, no barriers.
Speaker 1: That's the way it should be. Let's say Canada, the
Speaker 1: United States pays tremendous tariffs on dairy as an example
Speaker 1: two hundred and sevent nobody knows that. So you go
Speaker 1: tariff free, you go barrier free, you go subsidy free.
Speaker 1: That's the way you learned at the Wharton School of Finance.
Speaker 1: It's gonna change. It's not a question of I hope
Speaker 1: it changes. It's gonna change. And tariffs are gonna come
Speaker 1: way down because people cannot continue to do that. We're
Speaker 1: like the piggy bank that everybody's robbing and that ends.
Speaker 1: You See, you don't have to be forget about all
Speaker 1: these people, all the expert that inventional wisdom. I mean,
Speaker 1: Trump is a smasher of conventional wisdom in every sense,
Speaker 1: you know, politically, with his rhetoric, with all across the board.
Speaker 1: You don't have to be an economics expert to see
Speaker 1: that something is amiss. There's a problem here. If tariffs
Speaker 1: are so bad and they lead to trade wars and
Speaker 1: all these horrible things, and trade wars lead to real wars,
Speaker 1: And why do so many countries have tariffs in place
Speaker 1: against us without any consequence? Are we just the chump
Speaker 1: in this situation that doesn't get to say, well, hold
Speaker 1: on a second. Now, this is where some of my
Speaker 1: I don't know, I's gonna say, my liberal friends, but
Speaker 1: they would just yell at me more. But this is
Speaker 1: where people point out a book, America has tariffs too exactly.
Speaker 1: So let's look at you know what what tariffs are
Speaker 1: really important? Canada? What teriff really port in America? Can
Speaker 1: we meet in the middle somewhere. It's a negotiation. This
Speaker 1: is what this is how it goes. This is what
Speaker 1: it feels like. There's a little bit of given take.
Speaker 1: You know. I've had to negotiate contracts for myself. I've
Speaker 1: had to negotiate all kinds of things in this media business.
Speaker 1: You don't get what you want on the first try.
Speaker 1: Sometimes you get a little, a little mythed, a little
Speaker 1: annoyed when you feel like you're not being given you
Speaker 1: know what you should get or whatever. That's the nature
Speaker 1: of this, and you try it in good faith, get
Speaker 1: to something that works for everybody. That's what Trump is
Speaker 1: trying here. He is single handedly changing the discussion on trade,
Speaker 1: on tariffs and once again with everyone to rate against them.
Speaker 1: And you know, I've been saying along, I want to
Speaker 1: understand this more. I want to hear Trump out with
Speaker 1: every to rate against him. He's making a lot of
Speaker 1: headway here and for a lot of folks, he's making
Speaker 1: tremendous sense. We're talking more about trade, and then we'll
Speaker 1: be getting into uh, some North Korea and what we
Speaker 1: are whatever, the North Korea summit in Singapore and UH,
Speaker 1: and then just some general economy thoughts as well, where
Speaker 1: the economy is right now. We we have a jam
Speaker 1: a jam pack show eight fock. If you want to
Speaker 1: chat eight four for nine, eight to five, we will
Speaker 1: be right back. If I'm not so sure, a majority
Speaker 1: of Americans believe that globalization and free trade is in
Speaker 1: our interests. I believe that John McCain believes it. But
Speaker 1: the reason we're having these problems here at home brexit Itadaly,
Speaker 1: there's a movement all over the world. Uh to look
Speaker 1: inward not outward. And I think it's a mistake. But
Speaker 1: I'm not so sure. Most Americans agree with John McCain
Speaker 1: and Lindsay Graham. I'm alive it. I mean Lindsey Graham
Speaker 1: saying that that he believes in globalism, our globalization. Sorry,
Speaker 1: that was that was a bit freudy. He believes in globalization.
Speaker 1: That is what he said, globalist illuminaty. No, but I
Speaker 1: mean he believes in globalization. Is not uh is not
Speaker 1: telling us anything. Globalization is a process that's happening all
Speaker 1: around us all the time. This is about specific trade
Speaker 1: agreements with specific countries. International trade is premised upon agreements.
Speaker 1: It's not just a thing. There's no state of na
Speaker 1: sure of international trade. Countries make deals. The deals can
Speaker 1: be bad or good or somewhere in between. Why do
Speaker 1: we think that we have some uh some perfect you know,
Speaker 1: status quo. It doesn't make any sense. But I want
Speaker 1: to also bring in producer Mike had a story for us.
Speaker 1: Producer Mike, what happened? It's exciting? Here we go, he's
Speaker 1: he's he's I catch him off guards sometimes? What do
Speaker 1: he got? Producer Mike? I had my first running with
Speaker 1: a Freedom Hut fan this weekend live and in person.
Speaker 1: Really what happened. I was out well a friend of UH,
Speaker 1: A couple of people and UH a girl who I'm
Speaker 1: friends with. She had a couple coming into town and
Speaker 1: they wanted to stop by the building and she said, oh,
Speaker 1: this is my friend Angela, who's a big fan of
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton and her husband who is a pilot in
Speaker 1: the Air Force. I was there, um, and they are
Speaker 1: fans of the show and they were calling me producer
Speaker 1: Mike all night and it was there a lot of fun.
Speaker 1: She's like she can about to me. He said, your
Speaker 1: producer Bike and gave me a big hug. And she
Speaker 1: loves the show. Um. She's a millennial um in thirties,
Speaker 1: and she was very happy that there's somebody out there
Speaker 1: with the voice who was saying a lot of things
Speaker 1: she was thinking. So it was pretty cool. Thank you
Speaker 1: so much, And can we still give little shout out
Speaker 1: to Angel and Jamie. Angel and Jamie, thank you guys
Speaker 1: for listening and always always appreciated. I can tell you
Speaker 1: I was, I was on and I never got to
Speaker 1: say a real thank you to people. Years ago pre
Speaker 1: Miss Molly before MS Molly came along. I was on
Speaker 1: a first date actually, and I was walking down the
Speaker 1: street and I saw to like team buck Oss folks
Speaker 1: who were happy to be visiting New York and they
Speaker 1: were like, fucking there the other ms big deal of it,
Speaker 1: and I was like, this is awesome. It's like the
Speaker 1: first time in a long time I've been like, yeah,
Speaker 1: like radio show love it it. The girl, rather the
Speaker 1: young woman, I should say, rather lovely she was like,
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, like they made such a big deal
Speaker 1: over you. And I was like, well, were thinking each
Speaker 1: other as peers, honey, because we are. But I'm kind
Speaker 1: of a big deal. So my my library smells of
Speaker 1: rich mahogany. I've actually never had a library. I'm lucky
Speaker 1: to have a bookshelf in my tiny apartment. But anyway,
Speaker 1: it was a fun one. Uh where do we ever?
Speaker 1: Beck a Heindrix up next? Is that? Is that? What's happening?
Speaker 1: We got a nuke and missile expert joining us to
Speaker 1: talk about what are we really gonna do here? How
Speaker 1: long would it take? How does it work? How do
Speaker 1: you denuclearize? If you're walking us through some of that process,
Speaker 1: which is maybe putting the I CBM ahead of the horse.
Speaker 1: That didn't really work. But you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: maybe it's getting a little ahead of things, but I
Speaker 1: feel like it's an important discussion to have because you've
Speaker 1: got high stakes nuclear diplomacy happening. Well, yeah, right, right
Speaker 1: right now. I forget what time it is in Singapore.
Speaker 1: It's probably in the morning. It's gonna be happening pretty soon.
Speaker 1: Here he's holding the line for America. Buck Sexton is act.
Speaker 1: The context for these discussions is radically different than ever before.
Speaker 1: The backdrop against which these negotiations are taking President Trump
Speaker 1: has said, UH in a way that is fundamentally different
Speaker 1: than before. UH. Presidents made very clear until such time
Speaker 1: as we get the outcome that we're demanding, economic relief
Speaker 1: is not going to be provided. That's different. There was
Speaker 1: always this hypothesis is that somewhere along the way, the
Speaker 1: Americans would take their foot off and allow those economic
Speaker 1: opportunities for the North and thereby reduced the capacity to
Speaker 1: actually achieve the deal. We're not going to do that.
Speaker 1: So these discussions that will take place tomorrow between Chairman
Speaker 1: Kim and President Trump will set the framework for the
Speaker 1: hard work that will follow, and we'll see how far
Speaker 1: we get. But I am very optimistic that we will
Speaker 1: have a successful outcome from tomorrow's meeting between these two leaders.
Speaker 1: The completely, verifiable and irreversible denuclearization of the Career Peninsula
Speaker 1: is the only outcome that the United States will accept.
Speaker 1: Sanctions where we remain until North Korea completely and verifiably
Speaker 1: eliminates its weapons of mass destruction programs. If diplomacy does
Speaker 1: not move in the right direction, and we are hopeful
Speaker 1: that it will continue to do so, those measures will increase.
Speaker 1: There you have Secretary of State Pompeo. He is in
Speaker 1: Singapore right now with the commander in chief himself, President Trump.
Speaker 1: Kim Jong un has also landed. He is making the
Speaker 1: rounds and is is certainly a site for a lot
Speaker 1: of folks to see if the furthest he has ever been,
Speaker 1: I believe from North Korea since becoming the dictator of
Speaker 1: that country. What do we think is going to happen
Speaker 1: behind closed doors here? What are they trying to achieve?
Speaker 1: And we'll get into as much of the specifics on
Speaker 1: the d nuclearization side as we can to help us
Speaker 1: with that. We've got Rebecca Heinrich's on the line. She
Speaker 1: is a Senior Fellow at the Hudson Institute. She is
Speaker 1: an expert on missiles and nukes and things that go
Speaker 1: boom in the biggest way. Rebecca gread to have you
Speaker 1: great to be here. Thanks, all right, So let's let's
Speaker 1: talk for a moment about the d nuclearization side of this.
Speaker 1: You know you you study missiles day in and day
Speaker 1: are you how how does that process? Let's just say
Speaker 1: walk me through. Trump and and Kim sit down and
Speaker 1: he goes, you know what, let's do this. We will
Speaker 1: do nuclearize, assuming you know, promises are in place and
Speaker 1: the economic relief comes, we will de nuclearized. How does
Speaker 1: that actually happen? Like, what are the steps in that process? Sure? Well,
Speaker 1: the first thing that needs to happen is, uh, there
Speaker 1: needs to be a common understanding of definitions and so
Speaker 1: that that hasn't happened yet. You played that great clip
Speaker 1: from Secretary of State Pompeo, and I believe it was
Speaker 1: that same press conference where he answered the question. One
Speaker 1: of the reporters asked, is there a clearer definition of
Speaker 1: what we mean when we say the nuclearization? And he said,
Speaker 1: we're getting closer, And then the reporter said, can you
Speaker 1: tell us how close, and he said no, or something
Speaker 1: to that effect, so that that that's actually an enormous step.
Speaker 1: We've never gotten to the point where we have the
Speaker 1: same definition of denuclearization as North Korea. So the North
Speaker 1: Koreans might think that it just means, you know, no
Speaker 1: testing for now, and then maybe in a few years
Speaker 1: they start dismantling you know, part of their or they
Speaker 1: start you know, allowing stop stop doing plutonium or stop
Speaker 1: enriching uranium, and you know, it could be very different
Speaker 1: understandings of what they mean by de nucularization and on
Speaker 1: what timeline. UM. The other thing that's interesting is you
Speaker 1: keep hearing the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. I actually
Speaker 1: don't like that. Whenever I talk about this, I say,
Speaker 1: we want the demucularization of North Korea, because when you
Speaker 1: say the Korean Peninsula to the North Korean year, that
Speaker 1: means that the United States has to stop providing extended
Speaker 1: deterrence to Japan and South Korea as well, UM, which
Speaker 1: means nothing nuclear capable in that region on the U.
Speaker 1: S side. So again, you've got to come up with
Speaker 1: some common under standings of definition. So what I would
Speaker 1: even just like to see coming out of just that
Speaker 1: bilateral meeting between President Trump and Kim. John nun is
Speaker 1: for Trump to say, I need you to understand what
Speaker 1: we are talking about when we say complete, verifiable, irreversible
Speaker 1: dismantlement of your nuclear program. And if Kim agrees to that,
Speaker 1: and he's going to demand some sort of security assurances
Speaker 1: back from Trump about what that means, probably in some
Speaker 1: form of a treaty, UM, providing assurances that we're not
Speaker 1: going to be aggressors or you know, preemptive attack and
Speaker 1: that sort of thing. Provide some sort of security assurance.
Speaker 1: I mean, that would be enormous, just agreeing in principle
Speaker 1: on what the goals are. UM. Wait, hold one second,
Speaker 1: just because Pompey actually spoke about those security assurances play
Speaker 1: clips Wealth. It is the case that we are prepared
Speaker 1: to make security assurances necessary for the North Koreans to
Speaker 1: engage in that denuclearization. That is, we're prepared to take
Speaker 1: actions that will provide them uh sufficient certainty that they
Speaker 1: can be comfortable that d nuclearization UM isn't something that
Speaker 1: ends badly for them in deep just the opposite, that
Speaker 1: it leads to a brighter, better future for the North
Speaker 1: Korean people. Now, let's say that's all in place, and
Speaker 1: by the way, your your exposition here on understanding or
Speaker 1: or having agreement on the definitions of the two sides
Speaker 1: is critical. Obviously, first step is what Before you can
Speaker 1: get what you want, you gotta know what you're trying
Speaker 1: to get. But tell me then, how Let's say that
Speaker 1: the de nuclearization is agreed upon as North Korea abandoning
Speaker 1: w or abandoning nuclear wm D. At least they've got
Speaker 1: a whole lot of stuff over there. But let's say
Speaker 1: it's abandoning nuclear weapons of mass destruction and the missile
Speaker 1: program that goes with it. How then do we start
Speaker 1: to how do we implement that? And I know there's
Speaker 1: probably some specifics that would have to get hammered out right,
Speaker 1: would this be under some kind of a UN mandate
Speaker 1: just US overseas? But I mean the actual processes. Would
Speaker 1: we send in teams to take this stuff? How does
Speaker 1: that work? Yeah? So that so the first thing that
Speaker 1: we want to see actually is um, I know, people
Speaker 1: get really nervous when when when National Security Advisor John
Speaker 1: Bolton mentioned OLIBYA model. I actually think I know, I
Speaker 1: know John Bolton, and I know what he meant by that,
Speaker 1: And and there's actually a lot to learn from the
Speaker 1: Libya model and to to know kind of how we
Speaker 1: would go about this in North for North Korea, and
Speaker 1: that is that they have to the North Koreans would
Speaker 1: then have to open their doors to to US inspectors,
Speaker 1: to u N inspectors. You know, there has to be
Speaker 1: some sort of m agreement about who who are the
Speaker 1: who the inspectors are, who they're going to you know,
Speaker 1: who the who who there are and um. And then
Speaker 1: they have to actually show us where their systems and
Speaker 1: programs are. Now we obviously know where some of them are,
Speaker 1: but but there's god, there's some that that we don't know.
Speaker 1: And so they actually have to demonstrate that they've made
Speaker 1: the strategic shift by opening their doors and allowing these
Speaker 1: inspectors full unmitigated access to their program and then we
Speaker 1: can start figuring out what needs to practically happen in
Speaker 1: terms of dismantling their uranium, their platonium development um. And
Speaker 1: then and then figuring out a timeline that's realistic. That's
Speaker 1: what I was gonna ask you. And how long would
Speaker 1: you estimate, I mean, rough rough terms? Here is this
Speaker 1: a month's process or a year's process, a year's long
Speaker 1: process once it gets going. So I've heard um from
Speaker 1: the folks who sort of are more open to a
Speaker 1: longer process, some of the folks that are a little
Speaker 1: bit more just arms control ish, you know, got to
Speaker 1: give the North Korean some space and time. I've heard
Speaker 1: estimates up wards to fifteen years. I think that the administration,
Speaker 1: No way is the Trump administration going to take that long,
Speaker 1: um to do it. On the On the and I've
Speaker 1: actually heard the administration officials today, no, no way, the
Speaker 1: way we accept that because then the North would have
Speaker 1: some opportunity to to kind of you know, jerk inspectors
Speaker 1: around and trying to just do these things piecemeal, um
Speaker 1: as they get economic relief. On the other end, I've
Speaker 1: heard very reliable nuclear experts, sources of mind say two years,
Speaker 1: two years is doable, and really you can get you
Speaker 1: can get some major stuff, some uranium enrichment processing, and
Speaker 1: you can start getting missiles out of there very quickly,
Speaker 1: and within two years you have significantly depleted their program.
Speaker 1: And then it'll probably be another eighteen months or so
Speaker 1: after that before you finally are comfortable getting getting you know,
Speaker 1: the really bad stuff out of there. Um, that timeline,
Speaker 1: of course, would be much more suitable to the Trump administration,
Speaker 1: because President Trump would want this to be done by
Speaker 1: the time he's leading office, so that there's not another opportunity,
Speaker 1: you know, if somebody does, if he does have a
Speaker 1: predecessor after one term. Now, you mentioned the You mentioned
Speaker 1: the Libya model, which uh and and also alluded to
Speaker 1: the fact that in some ways it worked, in other
Speaker 1: ways clearly didn't. Right, It depends on which libyat what
Speaker 1: phase of Olibya moda you're talking about it. Certainly if
Speaker 1: you're to ask a member of the Caddafi family, they'd
Speaker 1: have a very different view of, you know, how how
Speaker 1: it went as it went along. But assuming that they
Speaker 1: were going to try something along those lines, the security
Speaker 1: guarantees part of it, I'm just curious what that because
Speaker 1: Pompeo has talked about it, you mentioned her today. I mean,
Speaker 1: we're gonna say, yeah, of course, we're not gonna anyone
Speaker 1: attack you. Is there more to it than that? Yeah.
Speaker 1: So here's the thing. Here's the here's a dilemma that
Speaker 1: we are never going to get around, and that's that
Speaker 1: the United States should never and we can't really ever
Speaker 1: provide security guarantees from a dictator's own people. So if
Speaker 1: if if Kim Jong Nunn is going to continue to
Speaker 1: be a ruthless, bloody dictator where he's putting his people
Speaker 1: into goologs, we were not going to defend him against
Speaker 1: an uprising from people who want who want a better path,
Speaker 1: you know, if he continues down that road. So that's
Speaker 1: something that the United States just can't really do. UM.
Speaker 1: Now we can provide security assurances that we are not
Speaker 1: going to be the aggressors against him, nor are we
Speaker 1: going to help um an insurrection against him. That that
Speaker 1: would be something that we would completely stay out of. That.
Speaker 1: That's something that people kind of conflate with what happened
Speaker 1: with the Obama administrations helping the insurrection that came up
Speaker 1: against Kadafi. UM in Libya, I believe, I believe it
Speaker 1: was two thousand fourteen. You can correct me if I'm
Speaker 1: wrong there, but UM that you know, the adbministration went ahead.
Speaker 1: It was really Hillary Clinton is my understanding, who pushed
Speaker 1: for this, really helped you know, provided eight and support
Speaker 1: to overthrow Kadafi which led to his led to his death. UM,
Speaker 1: that was not part of the Bush administration Libya model
Speaker 1: for removing the w m d s out of Libya.
Speaker 1: That was something that happened, you know, years later, a
Speaker 1: couple of years later, when you had this uprising coming
Speaker 1: out of Libya. UM, And clearly the obaministration wasn't thinking
Speaker 1: of the non proliferation concerns or ramifications that would lead
Speaker 1: to that where people dictators are not gonna say, okay,
Speaker 1: I get rid of my nukes and then I end
Speaker 1: up I ends up deposed and executed. Um. Those were
Speaker 1: kind of two separate things. So so back to security
Speaker 1: guarantee is real quick. So what we can do? You know,
Speaker 1: we can, we can, We can find a treaty just
Speaker 1: saying that we were not we have no intention, which
Speaker 1: I believe that Trump administration has no intention of regime
Speaker 1: change in North Korea. UM, and and that you know,
Speaker 1: we can we can provide that. That's why I think
Speaker 1: that President Trump has been so in my view, kind
Speaker 1: of painfully friendly towards Kim John Nun because it can't
Speaker 1: just be something that we say, Kim John Nunn has
Speaker 1: to believe that President Trump and his administration is not
Speaker 1: looking for an opportunity to knock off Kim after we
Speaker 1: take his nukes, and so you know, it's it's it's
Speaker 1: going to take a lot of persuading and before we
Speaker 1: let you go back. I just want to ask, here's
Speaker 1: General Keene over Fox News, Uh, thinking about this as
Speaker 1: an opportunity to play four teen? What an historic opportunity
Speaker 1: this is for Kim John Long he actually can move
Speaker 1: towards peace and towards prosperity for his country and also
Speaker 1: to guarantee truly the survivability of his regime, his family,
Speaker 1: and the elites around him. That's the opportunity he has
Speaker 1: in front of him. It's it's going to be fascinated
Speaker 1: to see, you know, if he reaches for it, and
Speaker 1: if he goes back to the old game book of
Speaker 1: the past, Uh, then the alternative is horrific. Becky, do
Speaker 1: you think that Kim Jong un really does see this
Speaker 1: is at least an opportunity and can you give us
Speaker 1: any Are you willing to make any prediction or wager
Speaker 1: about the chances of success here? I just I feel
Speaker 1: like I can't speculate here because I feel like it's
Speaker 1: so there's such a great temptation for analysts at this
Speaker 1: point to to just kind of um really put on
Speaker 1: what they wish is going to happen, um, you know,
Speaker 1: and trying to think that that's kind of what what
Speaker 1: what will happen? For sure? I mean, all I can
Speaker 1: only say is Kim dungan has had every opportunity to
Speaker 1: take his country in a different direction, and he has
Speaker 1: not done. So. He is a he is the sole
Speaker 1: dictator of North Korea. The missile tests, the nuclear tests
Speaker 1: have only increased under his rule. They have not decreased.
Speaker 1: The ruthlessness has only gotten worse under his rule. Um.
Speaker 1: And he continues to know anytime there's somebody with around
Speaker 1: him providing him advice and counsels, anybody doesn't reflexively agree
Speaker 1: with him or support him, they're either executed or replaced
Speaker 1: by somebody else. So I'm I'm very very skeptical, but
Speaker 1: they do there There are a couple of little things
Speaker 1: that have a little spark of hope in me, and
Speaker 1: that is that just in the past couple of days,
Speaker 1: there's been a change in tone from North Korean state
Speaker 1: propaganda that has been has taken a softer tone towards
Speaker 1: the US and President Trump. That's a big deal because
Speaker 1: you've got to see that shift in the state run
Speaker 1: propaganda to prepare the North Korean people for peace, if
Speaker 1: peace is to be had, that's changed. And the fact
Speaker 1: that President Trump is such an unconventional president and he
Speaker 1: is willing to use force. I've said that before. I
Speaker 1: don't think President Trump is blessing on that point. And
Speaker 1: so when you have this backdrop of a threat of
Speaker 1: military force, President Trump has said he's got three hundred
Speaker 1: additional sanctions he's ready to flat back on if the
Speaker 1: talks don't work out. And as we just saw from
Speaker 1: the G seven summit, President Trump is perfectly willing to
Speaker 1: tear up deals that he doesn't think are good or agreements.
Speaker 1: So yeah, we'll have to see if this time is different. Rebecca,
Speaker 1: once we have more information on how it went, we'll
Speaker 1: have you back. Rebecca Hinrix of the Hudson Institute. Everybody, Rebecca,
Speaker 1: thank you so much. Thanks back, Team quick break will
Speaker 1: be right back. Can't even order a chicken sandwich without
Speaker 1: getting yourself into trouble these days, folks. It's not really
Speaker 1: the America I I I wander. It's not the America
Speaker 1: I thought I signed up for, or I guess I
Speaker 1: was born here. But the America. We've got though. Twitter
Speaker 1: CEO Jack Dorsey over the weekend started a social media
Speaker 1: firestorm because he ordered food from Chick phill A. Now
Speaker 1: I have had some of chick placed food. It is
Speaker 1: very delicious. Why you might ask, would a major national
Speaker 1: food chain and somebody just ordering food from it be
Speaker 1: a problem? Well, Solidad O'Brien, who is a particularly shrill
Speaker 1: and unwatchable morning host over at CNN, which has more
Speaker 1: than its fair share of sanctimonious, shrill and terrible hosts
Speaker 1: in general. Uh. They She wrote to him, interesting company
Speaker 1: to boost during Pride Month Jack for Jack Dorsey's CEO
Speaker 1: of Twitter, and he responded, you're right, completely forgot about
Speaker 1: their background. So you know, you've really got to try
Speaker 1: hard to make or literally saying hey, I just ordered
Speaker 1: a chicken sandwich. Uh. A political issue. Now where you
Speaker 1: order your food, my friends, is going to be used
Speaker 1: as a judgment against you because of the way progressive
Speaker 1: view things. Everything is political always at all times. There
Speaker 1: is no escape. They won't stop. This is a it's
Speaker 1: really a mass mental illness that they have. It's it's
Speaker 1: a delusion, it's a fixation and they need help, but
Speaker 1: they will not separate it and what I what I
Speaker 1: think we are all seeing is increasingly it's increasingly obvious
Speaker 1: that for the left, politics replaces the space in the
Speaker 1: UH in the mind for spirituality, for relationship with God,
Speaker 1: and for real meaning, real meeting, not who I voted for.
Speaker 1: Look at me. I care about the environment. I mean
Speaker 1: things that actually matter who you are as a human being.
Speaker 1: The left has replaced that with I am a Democrat,
Speaker 1: and that has led to a lot of very, very
Speaker 1: bad things. The FBI calls home title theft one of
Speaker 1: the fastest growing crimes out there. And brace yourself, because
Speaker 1: if you've had your credit card soon, it's nothing compared
Speaker 1: to the how you're in for once an identity thief
Speaker 1: takes control of your home's title. You know. Look, everything
Speaker 1: is online these days. That means everything is vulnerable to hackers,
Speaker 1: to electronic theft. That also means the whole world is
Speaker 1: the pool of bad guys you're talking about here. But
Speaker 1: guess what they want Americans. They want to go after
Speaker 1: American home titles because we have equity in our homes.
Speaker 1: All they do is set it up in your name,
Speaker 1: They take an alias UH, and then they borrow every

Speaker 1: American grant You're a great American again. This is the
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show. Analysts. No, I like it when the
Speaker 1: liberals tell us what they really think. I like it
Speaker 1: when they slip up a little bit and us know
Speaker 1: what's what's really going on in their minds, that's really
Speaker 1: going on in their heads. I think that that's a
Speaker 1: a good thing for all of us because then we
Speaker 1: can start to get closer to the truth. And you
Speaker 1: had a few instances of that when it comes to
Speaker 1: the economy over the weekend. I thought it was very
Speaker 1: illuminating to hear from them. First off, you had Bill
Speaker 1: Maher who said this. I mean, he had to know
Speaker 1: he was gonna make headlines when he said this. But
Speaker 1: I think it's a a much more widespread sentiment than
Speaker 1: liberals want to admit. I think this is if you
Speaker 1: were to pull them, at least quietly, if you were
Speaker 1: to pull them and get honest answers, I think most
Speaker 1: liberals you know would probably say, yeah, this would be
Speaker 1: a good thing. Play clip three. Please, this economy is
Speaker 1: going pretty well. I feel like the bottom has to
Speaker 1: fall out at some point, and by the way, I'm
Speaker 1: hoping for it because I think one way you get
Speaker 1: to Trump is a crashing economy. So please bring on
Speaker 1: the recession. Sorry if that hurts people, but it's either
Speaker 1: roof for a recession or you lose your democracy. Yep,
Speaker 1: you heard it there, folks. Some guys paid millions of
Speaker 1: dollars to go on TV and make stale, derivative jokes
Speaker 1: and be pretty nasty to people on a regular basis.
Speaker 1: That guy is openly advocating for a recession, which, let
Speaker 1: me just put because he doesn't ever think about this
Speaker 1: part of it. That means that people lose their jobs,
Speaker 1: means that people lose their homes, means that people's streams
Speaker 1: are crushed, means their life savings can be wiped out.
Speaker 1: It means that the suicide rate actually goes up as
Speaker 1: the unemployment rate goes up in a recession. Now, I
Speaker 1: know that recessions happen, but you don't see me sitting
Speaker 1: around saying, you know what would really be a good
Speaker 1: thing for the Republicans right now, a mass casualty terror attack,
Speaker 1: because we know that we can trust Republicans more than
Speaker 1: Democrats to actually fight back on national security right. To
Speaker 1: say that would be it would be a gross thing
Speaker 1: to say. To wish that would would show a real
Speaker 1: hole in the soul. But to wish for a recession
Speaker 1: that would result in a lot of economic pain, which
Speaker 1: can result in all kinds of other pain to for people.
Speaker 1: You can't pay their medical bills, can't pay their mortgages,
Speaker 1: can't send their kids to the schools they want to
Speaker 1: send them to. I mean, there's a lot that comes
Speaker 1: with there. I mean, a really serious recession just goes
Speaker 1: to show you where they are. And this is openly
Speaker 1: rooting against the United States of America from the left.
Speaker 1: That's what it is. We should call it. That they
Speaker 1: are rooting for not the failure of a policy, but
Speaker 1: hoping for widespread pain among the American people to advance
Speaker 1: their own political agenda. So in a sense I have
Speaker 1: to thank mar for at least being honest, because I
Speaker 1: don't think he's the only one. There are some others
Speaker 1: who are slightly less straightforward in how they say it,
Speaker 1: but you certainly get the sense that they have a
Speaker 1: similar and stated mind for all this, Like hey, shake,
Speaker 1: has Nancy Pelosi play clift for? So this isn't just
Speaker 1: about the unemployment rate, It's about wages rising in our
Speaker 1: country so that consumer confidence is restored because our economy
Speaker 1: will never fully reach its um uh possibilities unless we
Speaker 1: increase the confidence, and that can only be increased by
Speaker 1: the better deal, better jobs, better wages, housing subsidies, and
Speaker 1: the rest has not gone down because of the wage
Speaker 1: stagnation unless we have an increase, very significant increase in
Speaker 1: wages and bigger paychecks. Are we were going to increase
Speaker 1: the frustration of America's families because they'll be saying, hip
Speaker 1: hip hoerae, unemployment is down. What does that mean to me?
Speaker 1: I need a bigger paycheck. Hip hip hooray, unemployment is down?
Speaker 1: Now I know that. Then she goes on to say
Speaker 1: I need a bigger paycheck. But first of all, everyone
Speaker 1: feels like they need a bigger paycheck. You find me
Speaker 1: someone that's getting paid a paycheck, and I'll show you
Speaker 1: somebody that wishes they were making a little more. But
Speaker 1: to dismiss unemployment, and then also to kind of go
Speaker 1: on this ramble there about well, you know, we have
Speaker 1: to have ray raise wages. Nancy Pelosi Democrats. They're only
Speaker 1: possible plan to raise wages is to raise the minimum wage,
Speaker 1: which anyone who has studied it will tell you sounds good.
Speaker 1: And a lot of people go, you know what, I
Speaker 1: kind of like the idea. I kind of like the
Speaker 1: idea of the minimum ways being rached. I think that
Speaker 1: there's something to that. Um as people say that, they
Speaker 1: don't realize that then there are all these other things
Speaker 1: that come along with it. Right that you can squeeze
Speaker 1: the balloon at one side, but it doesn't get rid
Speaker 1: of the air, just moves it to the other. Most
Speaker 1: people who make minimum wage are not the sole wage
Speaker 1: earner in their households. That's for one. So in many
Speaker 1: cases they are not trying to feed a family of
Speaker 1: four or what have you. On a minimum wage job.
Speaker 1: They're one of two earners. But when you raise a
Speaker 1: minimum wage, it can also mean that they cut back
Speaker 1: the employer will cut back on ours, for example, as
Speaker 1: a way to limit costs. The employer will automate as
Speaker 1: a way to limit costs. The employer will yes sometimes
Speaker 1: even fire people as a way to limit costs. Minimum
Speaker 1: wage is increases are rarely helpful. They are poorly targeted
Speaker 1: for assisting those who are most in need, who are working.
Speaker 1: It's not the way that It's not the way it
Speaker 1: works out, but it just sounds good. Keep all feel like, Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're just just pay people are working hard, Pay them more.
Speaker 1: People working hard, pay them more. Well, if only it
Speaker 1: were that easy. But I think that Nancy Pelosi is
Speaker 1: at least somewhat illiterate on the issue of economics. I
Speaker 1: think she had just frankly has no idea what she's
Speaker 1: talking about. I don't think that Nancy Pelosi understands what
Speaker 1: it is to be worried about bills. I don't think
Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi understands what it is to have to actually
Speaker 1: excel in a private sector business. She married a very
Speaker 1: wealthy man and has been a politician for a very
Speaker 1: long time, so she is not somebody would turn to
Speaker 1: a on this. But even more than that, you're seeing
Speaker 1: this common theme. Now with the Democrats, it's gonna get louder.
Speaker 1: I think you're going to see more of it. Oh
Speaker 1: my gosh, the economy is going well, this is terrible.
Speaker 1: What are we gonna do? And more than that, it's
Speaker 1: not just that things are going pretty well. They're going
Speaker 1: very well. And they didn't tell us, Oh, Trump will
Speaker 1: be president and we'll kind of like slog along and
Speaker 1: things will more less be held together. But you know,
Speaker 1: eventually it's all gonna come uh well, you know, the
Speaker 1: things that more or less hold together. They've been telling
Speaker 1: us that this was going to be a disaster, that
Speaker 1: Trump was going to crater the economy, that you were
Speaker 1: gonna lose your savings, lose your you know, you're in
Speaker 1: your equity, in your home, all this different stuff. And
Speaker 1: now we're seeing reports actually that states have more jobs
Speaker 1: than people looking for jobs. Quite a difference from what
Speaker 1: was initially offered up um and and quite a distinction,
Speaker 1: I have to say, from what the never mind the
Speaker 1: the worst projections, that the standard conventional wisdom projections, but
Speaker 1: what a Trump presidency would look like, and if he
Speaker 1: gets his way on trade, I think we may and
Speaker 1: this is by the way, we have Um, I don't
Speaker 1: think we have audio of this, but I saw Cramer
Speaker 1: over on CNBC was saying, look, uh, the market believes
Speaker 1: Trump is right about trade. You know, if this was
Speaker 1: gonna be some terrible trade war, ever's gonna lose all
Speaker 1: this money and all these bad things are gonna happen.
Speaker 1: Don't you think the market would be pricing that in
Speaker 1: a bit more? Don't you think that there would be
Speaker 1: a recognition that, you know, the market is um more
Speaker 1: fragile than it seems right now. There's not gonna be
Speaker 1: a trade war, folks. You heard it here. First. Trade
Speaker 1: war is not gonna happen. There will be a series
Speaker 1: of back and forth negotiations on issues of trade, and
Speaker 1: we will see how it goes beyond that. I mean,
Speaker 1: I can't tell you the specifics. I just know that
Speaker 1: Trump has been swimming so hard upstream against this, against
Speaker 1: this notion that the the trade order that we currently
Speaker 1: have is some irreplaceable and untouched both circumstances. You know,
Speaker 1: people don't even really think about this. There are a
Speaker 1: lot of ways that countries mess with us on trade,
Speaker 1: A lot of ways. There's ad valorum tariffs, right, So
Speaker 1: ad valorum is the value. It's Latin for to the value,
Speaker 1: and that's a percentage of the overall tariff. But there's
Speaker 1: also quotas that countries can put in place. There are uh,
Speaker 1: you know, voluntary import restrictions. There are or export restrictions
Speaker 1: rather pardon me, um. There are ways to slow people
Speaker 1: down just at customs, to make them less competitive. I mean,
Speaker 1: the countries have bureaucracies, which is what a government is,
Speaker 1: have lots of ways of making it easier for their
Speaker 1: producers to compete in the market then for outside folks.
Speaker 1: So you know, Trump has taken aim at all this stuff,
Speaker 1: and I think that also could have some real lift,
Speaker 1: you know, on the economy. I remember what it was
Speaker 1: like under Obama. We were being told folks, because they
Speaker 1: couldn't manufacture numbers, right we we they couldn't lie about
Speaker 1: the food stamp number. They couldn't lie about the unemployment
Speaker 1: number and the amount of people out of work and
Speaker 1: the percentage out of work. For years, we were being told,
Speaker 1: you know, growth like we used to have in America
Speaker 1: is never coming back. We were told that GDP what
Speaker 1: three or four or five, that's just that's a fantasy,
Speaker 1: and we need to get used to the idea that
Speaker 1: Obama era, you know, two one point five persent whatever
Speaker 1: was back in then, the GDP back then, that that
Speaker 1: was as good as it can be. And Obama was
Speaker 1: doing a great job. And when you think about it,
Speaker 1: what was it. What was the Obama administration doing to
Speaker 1: encourage entrepreneurship, small business and productive economic activity. I don't
Speaker 1: mean raising taxes and giving it out to a bunch
Speaker 1: of you know, democrat agenda item agenda items on the list.
Speaker 1: I don't mean using taxpayer funds as a grab bag
Speaker 1: for what the left wanted. What were they really doing
Speaker 1: to encourage businesses and to help people be in a
Speaker 1: position to put food on the table, or more importantly,
Speaker 1: to stop being in the way of them putting food
Speaker 1: on the table. And the answer is, you know, nothing
Speaker 1: really comes to mind. You had a president who was
Speaker 1: weak on the economy for eight years. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: he came into office, spent a bunch of money, and
Speaker 1: told everybody, oh, look how bad the Bush economy was.
Speaker 1: He used that bad Bush economy line for four years,
Speaker 1: four years. You know, I don't think you would have
Speaker 1: even had an Obama presidency if there was you know,
Speaker 1: if you hadn't had that recession which was decades really
Speaker 1: in the macha and in the making, and was a
Speaker 1: cyclical as well, So we'll see. I'm I'm a little concerned.
Speaker 1: You know, people are gonna say, well, what about inflation.
Speaker 1: I mean, there are some things that could become part
Speaker 1: of our economic picture that would be uh troubling, and
Speaker 1: you know, oh my gosh. I think the only thing
Speaker 1: right now that would that would excite the left more
Speaker 1: than Mueller actually bringing some kind of formal criminal charge
Speaker 1: against the President United States. I think the only thing
Speaker 1: that would get them more psyched than that would be
Speaker 1: if there was a although maybe that's number one, but
Speaker 1: the only thing that's close to that would be if
Speaker 1: they found a if there was a major economic downturn
Speaker 1: and they could just just annihilate the president President's administration
Speaker 1: for what's going on with the economy. That would make
Speaker 1: them happier than anything else, because right now they're just
Speaker 1: they're beside there, beside themselves with all the good news.
Speaker 1: They can't handle all this good news, all the good
Speaker 1: things that are happening. It's making them so sad. You know,
Speaker 1: it's like the Grinch watching lots of little kids open
Speaker 1: Christmas presents. It's just terrible, cannot compute. So Trump was
Speaker 1: right about taxes. We'll see if he's right about trade.
Speaker 1: I think I think he will end up being right
Speaker 1: about trade. It but do not forget that the left
Speaker 1: was rooting for you to have less money and for
Speaker 1: your town, your city, your state to be in a
Speaker 1: worse financial circumstance than it is because they want somebody
Speaker 1: back in office who's going to cry about climate change
Speaker 1: and make the government a bigger force in your life
Speaker 1: telling you what to do. That's what they really want.
Speaker 1: Eight four four buck, if you want to chat eight
Speaker 1: four four to five, stay with me team. The enigmatic
Speaker 1: US president is dead. ISIS is attacking on multiple fronts,
Speaker 1: and the US special Forces call on a mercenary cyber
Speaker 1: warriors stop the crisis. This is a new bis. An
Speaker 1: aging marine sergeant and battle ward Army major faces an
Speaker 1: enemy that turns the Internet into a terrorist weapon and
Speaker 1: makes our existing concepts of security archaic. A catastrophe of
Speaker 1: biblical proportions, it is about to unfold. The new president
Speaker 1: is facing a rootless, relentless caliphate, and our military and
Speaker 1: elected leaders have no means to stop it. The only
Speaker 1: real question or when and where? This is a new BIS.
Speaker 1: Today's headline show us what is happening in the Middle East.
Speaker 1: Author Eric Anderson reveals the frightening possibilities that remain. This
Speaker 1: is Anubis. Eric Anderson is a former undercover US Intelligent Agent.
Speaker 1: His new book from Done Books is Anubis, now on
Speaker 1: sale at Amazon dot com or visit done books dot com.
Speaker 1: That's du and N books dot com for a new biss.
Speaker 1: You know, there's this photograph that's making the rounds, and
Speaker 1: I think it's so funny because it is I know
Speaker 1: this is a cliche thing to say, but it's a
Speaker 1: roar shock test for how you feel about Trump and
Speaker 1: the kind of the international an all order such as
Speaker 1: it is where you had a at that G seven
Speaker 1: meeting that we started talking about the top of the
Speaker 1: show in in Canada with the Trudeau, who, by the way,
Speaker 1: is the eyebrow thing real, Mike? Do we know? Was
Speaker 1: that just a meme? No? I think his eyebrow fell off,
Speaker 1: didn't his eyebrow fall and he has a fake eyebrow
Speaker 1: and it fell off during the press conference. He's got
Speaker 1: brow tupace, he's got to Is that a thing? I
Speaker 1: don't even know that was a thing even in Canada. Oh,
Speaker 1: you crazy Canucks. Yeah, it's it was. It was very
Speaker 1: strange to look at I thought, Yeah, I mean, I
Speaker 1: don't know if those were doctored photos. They're making the rounds.
Speaker 1: Somebody here in the office accused me of being a
Speaker 1: brow truther, and I'm like, no, I really think they're fake.
Speaker 1: Like I think he wears fake browse like instead of
Speaker 1: wearing eyeliner. He's a dude. He wears fake brows, which
Speaker 1: look if he if he had like an accident with
Speaker 1: a chemistry set or something and burned his brow, I'd
Speaker 1: be like, all right, you know, you gotta you gotta
Speaker 1: keep the fur up top. But but you just wear
Speaker 1: fake else because it's I don't know, as as a dude,
Speaker 1: it's just I didn't know that was the thing that
Speaker 1: we did, or or a lot of guys are saying, well,
Speaker 1: well we don't, yeah exactly, we don't, or we just don't.
Speaker 1: But so, yeah, that happened. So now I'm apparently an
Speaker 1: eyebrow truther. Uh. And then you also have this photo
Speaker 1: of Merkel where she's uh, and the New York Times
Speaker 1: here as the headline defying a bully or exchanging views.
Speaker 1: G seven photos tell different stories. Um, and yeah, you
Speaker 1: got Merkel who's like wearing exactly what you'd expect Merkel.
Speaker 1: Twere it's like it's, you know, it's very much like
Speaker 1: I'm running the country, but I don't want anyone to
Speaker 1: get to any ideas. Um. And she's looking at at
Speaker 1: Trump and she's leaning over this table at Trump. And
Speaker 1: you've got all these other world leaders in Bolton and uh, yeah,
Speaker 1: they're all gathered around Matt Kron. I can see Mat
Speaker 1: Cross four and he's like, might we being I am
Speaker 1: a middle of the road technocraft in France, but we
Speaker 1: all like the stinky cheese. Uh And he's by the
Speaker 1: way I am. Actually if when I go into a
Speaker 1: fromagerie or any kind of a cheese a fancy cheese
Speaker 1: place where they have a un CoV for the cheese,
Speaker 1: I think is what they call it, I'm always like,
Speaker 1: I want to give me the smelliest I want the
Speaker 1: cheese that smells so bad that people think that there's
Speaker 1: something wrong with you, and you're carrying it around like
Speaker 1: it could clear a subway car for you. That's the
Speaker 1: cheese that I really like, and I eat it without
Speaker 1: everythinking like, maybe this is Mother Nature's way of saying,
Speaker 1: don't eat it, but I don't care because the gooey, stinky,
Speaker 1: smelly cheese. I think I learned once, and it's after
Speaker 1: I had kind of a bad incident with cheese that
Speaker 1: if there you can tell by the color of the
Speaker 1: mold on it. I'm pretty sure that like green and blue,
Speaker 1: that's mold, which you know, if you want to eat that,
Speaker 1: that's up to you. But I think if the mold
Speaker 1: is read that is a no. No. I could check
Speaker 1: on that, but that's an important safety tip for everybody,
Speaker 1: because I was on the wrong side of that one once.
Speaker 1: Not a good It was not a good night. Um. So, anyway,
Speaker 1: they got Merkel looking at Trump and Trump sitting down
Speaker 1: and she's Everyone's like, oh, she's starring m Down for
Speaker 1: the World Order or whatever, and I just love this.
Speaker 1: The more you can have Merkel, who has been aptly
Speaker 1: described as European Nationalisms Woman of the Year, the more
Speaker 1: you can have because she's such an internationalist and the
Speaker 1: disasters that befell her country from her particularly open door
Speaker 1: migration policy that she kicked off. Uh, this is great,
Speaker 1: this is almost it's not quite as easy a an
Speaker 1: ad campaign as having uh, what's his name de Niro
Speaker 1: say blank Trump, but having Merkel staring at Trump and
Speaker 1: him staring back at this photo. If you know what
Speaker 1: I'm talking about. It just goes to show you that
Speaker 1: most of us see it as like, yeah, that's right,
Speaker 1: He's not taking orders from Merkel anymore. And she's like,
Speaker 1: but Donald, we had something special, and uh, He's like nope.
Speaker 1: And that was the way it happened. By the way,
Speaker 1: I've got my big announcement about why I'm in d C.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you about that literally right after the break.
Speaker 1: So I've been telling you guys that there would be
Speaker 1: an announcement coming, and I can finally make it. I know,
Speaker 1: I've I kept getting pushed back and push back and
Speaker 1: push back, not on me. It had to do with
Speaker 1: some tech issues here, and we had to get all
Speaker 1: of our all of our ducks lined up, and and
Speaker 1: why do we line up? I guess is that for
Speaker 1: like ducks in a shooting galleries? That why we line
Speaker 1: up the ducks. But we we are finally the place
Speaker 1: where I can tell you what's going on. You all
Speaker 1: know I love New York City as much as I
Speaker 1: am a I don't know, hardcore conservative or at least
Speaker 1: a a conservative for as long as I can remember
Speaker 1: remembering anything. I also love my hometown. It's a fun place,
Speaker 1: a lot going on. It's where I'm most comfortable, where
Speaker 1: my family is, so it takes a lot to get
Speaker 1: me to leave. And I am down here in the swamp.
Speaker 1: Now I think this is I like to think this
Speaker 1: is now part of my path. I'd like to think
Speaker 1: this is the mission that I have to come down
Speaker 1: here during the Trump administration and do my thing mere
Speaker 1: blocks from the White House. I am now just blocks
Speaker 1: from the White House, and I will be seeing a
Speaker 1: whole lot of White House folks in the day's, weeks
Speaker 1: and months ahead, So that is one of the advantages
Speaker 1: of being here. Here's the announcement. I am launching the
Speaker 1: Hill dot COM's TV channel. It'll be a digital TV
Speaker 1: channel called Hill dot tv that will start this Wednesday.
Speaker 1: Actually will be our first on air show. If you
Speaker 1: want to watch it, you can just go to the
Speaker 1: website Hill dot tv and see what's going on with that.
Speaker 1: You can check out the show. I will be doing
Speaker 1: a morning show and it's going to be something like
Speaker 1: think of it like a little bit like Fox and Friends,
Speaker 1: but with a female co host, Crystal Ball, who is
Speaker 1: a liberal, and I am, of course the male co host.
Speaker 1: I am a conservative. So we are doing a kind
Speaker 1: of male female Hannity and Combs for the morning. But
Speaker 1: it's gonna be conversation, not there won't be a lot
Speaker 1: of it. There's gonna be some debates, but it's not
Speaker 1: gonna be shouty or angry. We've been running, We've been
Speaker 1: doing lots of run throughs, and you know what, what's
Speaker 1: it like when two people different perspectives are setting up
Speaker 1: the news for the day and and doing it in
Speaker 1: a way that's uh, that's fun and friendly and insightful.
Speaker 1: That's what we're going for. That is our mission. We
Speaker 1: are trying to We are trying to do our very
Speaker 1: best here to do something different than what you're seeing
Speaker 1: out there right now, because it is meant I've been
Speaker 1: I've been a media for seven years and it is
Speaker 1: the most polarized climate by far right now in that
Speaker 1: seven years. In terms of people that work in the business.
Speaker 1: It is just it's never been quite like this before.
Speaker 1: It's never been as intense a uh not just a
Speaker 1: separation of people based upon their opinions, but really a
Speaker 1: hatred of the other side. It's just nuts. Anyway, we're
Speaker 1: gonna get away from that. We'll be launching a segment
Speaker 1: we've already we've already put it in motion, so it's
Speaker 1: gonna happen called Buck in a Bar where we're gonna
Speaker 1: get newsmakers, politicians, interesting folks, authors, whomever to sit down
Speaker 1: with me in a bar and drink and talk about things.
Speaker 1: That will be one of our segments. We're gonna visit
Speaker 1: the embassy's year and visit with chefs at the embassies
Speaker 1: and do a whole presentation of what the national cuisine
Speaker 1: is and how the chef prepares it. So there's gonna
Speaker 1: be that morning show component to A two. We've got
Speaker 1: pop culture interviews, we gotta We've got a big movie
Speaker 1: director joining us for the Wednesday show. Oh we are.
Speaker 1: The line of a guest for the first two weeks
Speaker 1: is it's if we get everybody that we're supposed to
Speaker 1: get right now. Remember they have to actually show up,
Speaker 1: and we're talking about top echelon of government and some
Speaker 1: other very very senior folks. We're gonna have quite a
Speaker 1: line of guests for those those first couple of weeks
Speaker 1: of the show for sure, and then we're gonna get
Speaker 1: into a rhythm of you know, who do we want
Speaker 1: any given day and what the But yeah, that's what
Speaker 1: it is. Team. I'm I'm gonna be on on the
Speaker 1: h well, digital TV screen. It's not gonna be cable.
Speaker 1: They're not gonna try to get in the cable game.
Speaker 1: We think that with streaming, you know, Netflix, whol at all,
Speaker 1: that agital TV is the way of the future. And
Speaker 1: you know, is it is it the wave or the
Speaker 1: way of the future? Right? I feel like you could
Speaker 1: say either. This is one of those phrases that I
Speaker 1: think a lot of people get wrong. I know I do, uh,
Speaker 1: But but it is how things are going to be,
Speaker 1: and I think it'll be a fun opportunity for those
Speaker 1: of you who like it when I do the the
Speaker 1: Fox hits. And by the way, all of your support
Speaker 1: with all that is uh is really so very appreciated. Um.
Speaker 1: I can tell you that whenever I go on and
Speaker 1: you guys like, hey, saw you buck a job or something,
Speaker 1: that's just so nice, it really is. I don't think that.
Speaker 1: I don't ever think that when I see something or
Speaker 1: if I can give you a thumbs op or you
Speaker 1: just even see that's been delivered or read as a
Speaker 1: message that I don't appreciate it. I do every single time.
Speaker 1: I like hearing from all of you, and whenever I
Speaker 1: can get a message from any of you, it is
Speaker 1: really meaningful to me. So thank you for that. But yeah,
Speaker 1: we're gonna be launch a crystal Ball. Is great. We're
Speaker 1: really enjoying our rapport. I mean, it's obviously gonna be
Speaker 1: interesting to see how you have a a Democrat and
Speaker 1: a Republican discussing the news day in and day out.
Speaker 1: But we think it'll be a really good fun show
Speaker 1: that's got a fresh approach and all the all the
Speaker 1: jargon that you expect from TV execs, I think it
Speaker 1: actually applies here. So that's what I'm doing. That's why
Speaker 1: I'm down here in the swamp. That's why I have
Speaker 1: uprooted myself from being at UH Radio h Q, the
Speaker 1: Freedom Hunt HQU in New York City and set up
Speaker 1: afford Operating Afford Operating UH Command post here or a
Speaker 1: combat outpost. Really that this is the Freedom Hut. This
Speaker 1: is the Freedom Hunt Combat Outpost in d C. That's
Speaker 1: really where I am, because we're here on the front
Speaker 1: lines now, right in the center of the swamp. But
Speaker 1: but I'm doing that show, and we're very, very excited
Speaker 1: about it, and I I think it is gonna be great.
Speaker 1: It also means that I will have one of the
Speaker 1: longest work days of any person in the media that
Speaker 1: I've ever heard of. Ever. I'll be getting up every
Speaker 1: day about five thirty in the morning and I'll be
Speaker 1: finishing with you all radio at nine o'clock at night. Yes,
Speaker 1: I am planning to basically pass out on the floor
Speaker 1: and take a nap in the middle of the day
Speaker 1: somewhere if I have to. But this is how much
Speaker 1: I wanna This is how much I want to be
Speaker 1: of a person with an impact at the national level
Speaker 1: conversation that I'm willing to extend myself even more. Three
Speaker 1: our radio shows a full time job. This is now
Speaker 1: really multiple full time jobs being packed on top of
Speaker 1: each other. So all of your support team, your thoughts,
Speaker 1: um and and and as much as you're willing to.
Speaker 1: It's free, of course, I mean that it's you don't
Speaker 1: have to pay for this channel. If you have internet,
Speaker 1: if you have cell service, you can watch Hill dot tv, um,
Speaker 1: and it would really mean a lot if in my
Speaker 1: first week or two I had a lot of you
Speaker 1: just tuning in, but also you know, commenting and sharing
Speaker 1: and trying to help spread the word. It'll make me
Speaker 1: look good in front of my my new bosses down here.
Speaker 1: So I asked that favor of you as we prepare
Speaker 1: for everything, everything else that's that's coming in the weeks ahead.
Speaker 1: So that's the That was the big announcement. That's why
Speaker 1: I'm here in the swamp hill dot TV buck Sexton
Speaker 1: launching a political talk show morning show as a co host,
Speaker 1: and there'll be some other good programming on Hill dot
Speaker 1: TV as well. And man, when you see some of
Speaker 1: the contributors we have lined up from down here, I
Speaker 1: think a lot of you're gonna be very excited. The
Speaker 1: people that are gonna be regulars joining us. Young smart,
Speaker 1: dynamic folks. That's what we're That's what we're that's the
Speaker 1: center of the wheelouse. Yeah. Of course we're also gonna
Speaker 1: have the dirsh and some folks from the other the
Speaker 1: other end of the generational spectrum. But we're we're going
Speaker 1: for young, savvy hip. Nobody who's actually hip uses the
Speaker 1: word hip. But you know, you say hip, it sounds
Speaker 1: like are about to need a hip replacement. But you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. I think it's gonna be a
Speaker 1: great program. I think it's gonna be a lot of fun.
Speaker 1: And uh, like I said, please do tune in. So
Speaker 1: with that team, I will also ask if you want
Speaker 1: to call in, please do eight four four to five
Speaker 1: eight fo buck, We'll be right back. You know, there's
Speaker 1: a story out there right now that it is getting
Speaker 1: not nearly enough attention or coverage. It's one of these
Speaker 1: stories that I look at, I say to myself, this
Speaker 1: should be something that everyone in the country who cares
Speaker 1: about the Muller probe into Trump, the Russia collusion fantasy,
Speaker 1: the witch hunt, the all the the swamp strikes back
Speaker 1: efforts against Trump, people should be very aware of one
Speaker 1: aspect of this that somehow is flying under the radar.
Speaker 1: And I gotta give credit to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman
Speaker 1: Chuck grass Lee who is continuing, continuing to move the
Speaker 1: ball downfield despite incredible and I would say increasingly obviously
Speaker 1: political opposition to getting to the truth. So here's what's
Speaker 1: going on. By the way, by Byron york Is also
Speaker 1: doing some excellent reporting on this at the Examiner. So
Speaker 1: Grassley wants to see at this point, and he keeps
Speaker 1: remember he is Senate Judiciary Committee has oversight for the
Speaker 1: FBI for Department of Justice. He wants to see the
Speaker 1: Michael Flynn three oh two. The three oh two is
Speaker 1: the record that the FBI would have kept of the
Speaker 1: interaction between FBI agents and Michael Flynn. Now, I want
Speaker 1: to make something very clear. I know from defense attorney
Speaker 1: friends of mine that you should always as somebody who
Speaker 1: you all know. Now and I'm not saying that FBI
Speaker 1: agents aren't you in very good stuff, and I'm not
Speaker 1: putting the FBI down as an institution, but the FBI
Speaker 1: is out there. There's an aggressiveness to law enforce and
Speaker 1: that you need to have. The FBI is out there
Speaker 1: to get people. They try to only get bad guys,
Speaker 1: but they don't only get bad guys, and they're out
Speaker 1: there to get people. They're not out there to make
Speaker 1: friends and bake cookies and hang out. And you have
Speaker 1: to remember that because when they are sitting for an
Speaker 1: interview with you, if they're just gonna take notes, is
Speaker 1: very important that you would first of all I have
Speaker 1: a lawyer present. That's step one. Don't say, Remember, Mike,
Speaker 1: what's our rule about talking to the FBI, what's our rule?
Speaker 1: Don't ever lie on? No? But yes, that's true, But
Speaker 1: what's our what's our even better rule? Do what they say?
Speaker 1: Don't talk Mike, Dude, you're gonna get so jammed up,
Speaker 1: you're gonna call me. I'm going to bail you out,
Speaker 1: have to. I'm gonna have to get you like a
Speaker 1: fake passport, call some of my old buddies and get
Speaker 1: you some stuff and get you out. That's anything wrong thought. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know you're you're Mike's Mike's uh a very upstanding citizen.
Speaker 1: But yeah, Mike, our rule is never talk to the FBI.
Speaker 1: Do not talk to them that And now that rule
Speaker 1: changes when it's one you've been the victim of a crime. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and you talk to the FBI. Right, But I'm saying,
Speaker 1: if you are a suspect or if they want to
Speaker 1: question you, do you do not talk to the FBI. Uh.
Speaker 1: And and you also don't allow them to take notes
Speaker 1: of your interview because those will be used in court
Speaker 1: against you, especially if there's a question about veracity, if
Speaker 1: there's an issue of truthfulness one way or the other.
Speaker 1: You need to have a lawyer present. You also need
Speaker 1: to have I I highly recommend this, and this comes
Speaker 1: from defense attorney friends of mine. I know some very
Speaker 1: very sharp I have some dear friends who are incredibly
Speaker 1: sharp legal minds, and I steal from their knowledge as
Speaker 1: much as I possibly can. You want to have a
Speaker 1: recording of the meeting if you can. You want a
Speaker 1: full on recording of everything that is said. That way,
Speaker 1: it can't be well, I thought you said it this way,
Speaker 1: and you know that way. They can't decontextualized statements and
Speaker 1: everything else, right, But that all goes to the three
Speaker 1: or two. The three oh two is the written uh,
Speaker 1: the written account uh, the written account of what the
Speaker 1: exchange was. And Grassley wants to see the three oh
Speaker 1: two of Michael Flynn. Um, you know that that's where
Speaker 1: they take their notes, because he wants to know, how
Speaker 1: is it that call me? Later on testified to Congress
Speaker 1: that they did not believe. They did not believe that
Speaker 1: then that incoming National Security Advisor Flynn had lied to
Speaker 1: the FBI. And then all of a sudden, Muller gets
Speaker 1: involved in the situation, and you've got a guilty plead,
Speaker 1: and people say, he pleaded guilty. Pleaded guilty. Okay, here's
Speaker 1: how this game goes. FBI shows up, they say, we
Speaker 1: can bankrupt you even if you're innocent. We can ruin
Speaker 1: your life. We can put you in prison for at
Speaker 1: least three or four years on the lying alone. Or
Speaker 1: you can agree or just tell us whatever you know
Speaker 1: about everything you know, and you will not go to
Speaker 1: prison at all. How many people go, you know what,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna roll the dice on that one and see
Speaker 1: if I can beat a team of prosecutors, seasoned prosecutors
Speaker 1: with near unlimited resources for the purposes of, you know,
Speaker 1: as prosecutions go. And I want to roll the dice
Speaker 1: on that one. Okay. This notion that if you plead,
Speaker 1: you are obviously this is like saying, well he was convicted,
Speaker 1: well he was exonerated. Is he still convicted if someone's exonerated, no,
Speaker 1: of course not. When someone's found to be innocent and
Speaker 1: they released out of prison, do we say, well he
Speaker 1: was convicted, so you know he still did it. No,
Speaker 1: of course not. The process is not perfect. We just
Speaker 1: go with the process because it's the best thing that
Speaker 1: we have. But if there's something else that comes along,
Speaker 1: we have to adjust, uh and reevaluate. So grassly wants
Speaker 1: the three O two is from the FBNI. Here here's
Speaker 1: a surprise, everybody. FBI doesn't want to give Brassie the
Speaker 1: three or two that producer Mike doesn't. It seem a
Speaker 1: bit strange because he's already pleaded guilty. You know what
Speaker 1: the FBI's justification for holding back this information, which the
Speaker 1: Senate Judiciary Committee chairman and his colleagues are clearly legally
Speaker 1: entitled to, They said they don't want to prejudice an
Speaker 1: ongoing investigations, so they're holding onto it. Here's a problem
Speaker 1: with that. He's already pleaded guilty. How do you prejudice
Speaker 1: an ongoing and pleaded guilty? By the way, a long
Speaker 1: time ago, uh, December one, he took a plate. So
Speaker 1: here we are, uh, you know, in June after many
Speaker 1: months after that. Please, and you'ren't telling me that we
Speaker 1: can't know the information or rather there the Senate, Well,
Speaker 1: the Senate can't know the information first because it's gonna
Speaker 1: prejudice investigation. That's just a that's just a malarkey, bogus claim.
Speaker 1: It's not one that anyone who's paying attention should should
Speaker 1: consider serious and take seriously. But here we are, and
Speaker 1: that's what the FBI is saying. And now we don't
Speaker 1: know yet, but it's looking increasingly like they weren't going
Speaker 1: to charge Flynn. Then Mueller came along and came up
Speaker 1: with some version of events or you know, decided to
Speaker 1: flip around the prosecutorial discretion here and decided that they
Speaker 1: were going to charge Flynn in order to get him
Speaker 1: to flip on Trump and his people. But in doing so,
Speaker 1: they may have been over zealous and perhaps even unethical
Speaker 1: and essentially cheated Flynn of his of being treated fairly.
Speaker 1: They might have treated Flynn very unfairly. I mean, they
Speaker 1: might have used him as a fall guy here so
Speaker 1: he could be a tool against Trump. And that's something
Speaker 1: you get a real good sense of in the three
Speaker 1: or two is the fact that the FBI refuses to
Speaker 1: look to let the Senate Oversight Committee for this or
Speaker 1: this the Senate committee with oversight of d O j C.
Speaker 1: This is a very troubling sign, but it's also a
Speaker 1: very telling one deep State is trying to hide. My friends,
Speaker 1: it is very important we did not let them get
Speaker 1: away with it. We'll be right back. You know, one
Speaker 1: of my friends in the office down here in d
Speaker 1: C today, one of my new colleagues on Hill dot
Speaker 1: tv is like, Hey, what's that. What's that? Uh batch
Speaker 1: of different cake cups you got there on your desk.
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, I'm sorry, you mean my Black Rifle
Speaker 1: coffee cake cups. That's right, these are delicious tossed the
Speaker 1: commie coffee. My friend get with the Freedom Coffee Revolution

Speaker 1: longer down with trumpets Trump, listen to them, cheer friends,
Speaker 1: just just drink it all in. That was at the
Speaker 1: Tony Awards over the weekend, because apparently the Tony Awards
Speaker 1: are still a thing. I didn't really even know that,
Speaker 1: but Broadway and live plays and all that, they're still
Speaker 1: people that get really excited about it. The Tony Awards
Speaker 1: last night, you had uh, obviously Robert de Niro standing
Speaker 1: up there, and you know, some others have been pointed
Speaker 1: out to me. I feel like de Niro is one
Speaker 1: of these guys who's gotten very far, and I know
Speaker 1: you're gonna get a little bit, a little bit, you know,
Speaker 1: a little well angry at me maybe on this one.
Speaker 1: But he's played the same character for forty years more
Speaker 1: or less. You say, oh about Cape, Fear Meet the Parents.
Speaker 1: If you go back and watch Cape, he's like, Hey,
Speaker 1: I'm like a real scary, redneck, evil guy. Like it
Speaker 1: doesn't it doesn't really ring true now. I don't think
Speaker 1: it really holds up. I think that movie is I
Speaker 1: think a movie is a little overrated, quite honestly, Uh,
Speaker 1: is he good in Is he good in The Heat? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I mean is he good in The Godfather? Sure? Is
Speaker 1: he good in Good Fellas? But he's really the same.
Speaker 1: He's like, he's like, hey, you'm rubb with the Neiro
Speaker 1: you know, you know I'm good. I'm like kind of
Speaker 1: you know, it's like the same guy in every movie.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to say, it's a little bit of the uh,
Speaker 1: the Vince vaun situation. Who seems like and I've heard
Speaker 1: actually he's a very nice guy and it's a little
Speaker 1: bit libertarian. So that's always nice too to hear. Although
Speaker 1: I think he had a troubling or a troubled week
Speaker 1: last week. But Vince Vaughn, I feel like it's pretty
Speaker 1: much the same guy in every show, in every movie,
Speaker 1: every show. It's worked for him. He's had a great
Speaker 1: career so far. But their limitations there. Anyway, Why do
Speaker 1: we care about this? A couple of ways we can
Speaker 1: we can unpack this. One is to say we don't
Speaker 1: care at all. Buck, Why are we trying to Robert Niro?
Speaker 1: He's a jerk. He's acting like a jerk. Nothing about
Speaker 1: him that is not jerk. Like, we shouldn't give him
Speaker 1: the attention. We shouldn't give him the uh, the ability
Speaker 1: to spout off like this, to mouth off like this
Speaker 1: and have people across the country I have to care
Speaker 1: and here, but no, no, no, I'm not playing that
Speaker 1: Roberton Neal clip so much to say, oh gosh, look
Speaker 1: another act. And this comes after the whole debacle with
Speaker 1: Samantha b and calling Avanka the C word. No, no,
Speaker 1: we know that the left is course. We know that
Speaker 1: even these coddled, overpaid, self indulgent celebrities who who are
Speaker 1: just now little automatons of progressivism. It's an astonishing thing
Speaker 1: when you think about it. What whatever happened due you know,
Speaker 1: just be thankful that you're able to be a thespian.
Speaker 1: You know, you're able to be an actor and make
Speaker 1: a really great living. I've gotten so lucky, and try
Speaker 1: to entertain people, make people feel better, inspire people, tell
Speaker 1: stories that matter. That that's not enough. You have to
Speaker 1: also be up to look boom bamp Trump. Really, that's
Speaker 1: what you have to do. So yeah, yeah, I know
Speaker 1: I'm getting a little bit of a look at Hollywood
Speaker 1: there still gross. But but the more important takeaway from
Speaker 1: this is that Robert de Niro standing up and saying F.
Speaker 1: Trump is really an in kind in donation to the
Speaker 1: r n C that we can run this as an ad.
Speaker 1: And it's not just the DeNiro said it because that's okay.
Speaker 1: He's one guy, he's not very smart, who cares. But
Speaker 1: that the entire room. They didn't just laugh, they didn't
Speaker 1: just cheer. They stood up laughing and cheering. They stood
Speaker 1: up and made a whole thing of it, standing ovation
Speaker 1: for F the current President United States at the Tony Awards,
Speaker 1: which is another thing, by the way, I don't go
Speaker 1: to I don't go to Broadway shows in New York.
Speaker 1: I've been to some of them. They're so heavy handed
Speaker 1: and political all the time. Unless you're gonna go see
Speaker 1: like Street or Guys and Dolls or something, yeah, that's great,
Speaker 1: that's fine. But if you see anything that's getting awards,
Speaker 1: you know, that's getting Tony's, you're gonna see something about
Speaker 1: you know, the the you know, the the transgendered geisha.
Speaker 1: Who I mean, there's always like some always some really
Speaker 1: heavy handed political you know. I went to I went
Speaker 1: to one show I was brought to one years ago
Speaker 1: and the actor and the main role jumped out into
Speaker 1: the audience and grabbed a man by his head and
Speaker 1: and tried to stick his tongue down his throat, like
Speaker 1: I'm not kidding. I was in the role right behind him,
Speaker 1: so I saw the whole thing. It was weird. It
Speaker 1: was weird. Um anyway, So the Tony's are are completely
Speaker 1: on another They're they're progressive in a way that even
Speaker 1: liberals I know are like. And I mean the Tony's,
Speaker 1: I mean the whole theater scene is way left. Uh,
Speaker 1: but it's it's kind of like radical art radical artiste.
Speaker 1: But when you have these people standing up and they're cheering,
Speaker 1: they haven't The big takeaway is they haven't learned a
Speaker 1: damn thing. They just don't get it. And I I
Speaker 1: console myself, or rather I I calm myself by pointing
Speaker 1: out that the best possible thing is that they keep
Speaker 1: doing this, and that enough of the American people see
Speaker 1: the progressive left for the feted cesspool without principles, without kindness,
Speaker 1: without ideas, just a collectivist, totalitarian mindset that has seized
Speaker 1: our cultural institutions. Siezed are college campuses in academia really
Speaker 1: through a form of social and political force that the
Speaker 1: more people see this for what it is the better
Speaker 1: and that the best thing that can happen is that
Speaker 1: they have to live in an America with Trump, not
Speaker 1: for two more years, but for six more years, six
Speaker 1: more years of Trump. They deserve it. We deserve it
Speaker 1: because we know it's a good thing, but they deserve
Speaker 1: it because they need to be put through what for
Speaker 1: them is a nightmare. I mean, Trump staying in office
Speaker 1: is the equivalent of like throwing water on a progressive
Speaker 1: which I now dang, I now dang, who throw water
Speaker 1: on Hillary? So mean? But that's what this is going
Speaker 1: to be. Like. I I am going to be more
Speaker 1: more fired up about Trump getting reelected in any election
Speaker 1: in my lifetime, way more so then I felt about
Speaker 1: trying to defeat Obama back in and I still think it.
Speaker 1: Romney would have been a good present, not transformational, not
Speaker 1: and I mean transformational in response to the transformation of Obama.
Speaker 1: I think Romney would have been a a solid steward
Speaker 1: of the American executive branch and the U. S. Economy.
Speaker 1: I do. I think he would have been very solid,
Speaker 1: and I think we would have been spared some of
Speaker 1: the worst excesses of obama Ism in the two point
Speaker 1: over version of the second term. But we we need
Speaker 1: to be reminded by people like de Nero, by people
Speaker 1: like Samantha b Uh and others, of what anti trumps
Speaker 1: Um really is. And at its core, it is uh.
Speaker 1: It is ignorance, It is nastiness, It is an unwillingness
Speaker 1: to engage with ideas. It is a lack of and
Speaker 1: this is a core characteristic of the Democrats, the progressive left,
Speaker 1: all of them, a lack of humility. There's such a sneering,
Speaker 1: condescending mentality tone, and it's really become a cultural movement
Speaker 1: among you know, the progressive laughing among Democrats that they
Speaker 1: just love to find people to look down on, and
Speaker 1: they love to find people they look down on and
Speaker 1: pretend to care about them to use them as a cudgel,
Speaker 1: as a weapon against people they really look down on,
Speaker 1: which is you and me, which is the opposition, so
Speaker 1: to speak. So I I have to say I think
Speaker 1: that de Niro is is he's helping out our side.
Speaker 1: He's helping us out by being such a clown and
Speaker 1: by everybody in that room standing up. And do they
Speaker 1: think you really have to ask this question? Do they
Speaker 1: think they're brave for doing that there are very few
Speaker 1: things that I'm gonna get out of my seat and
Speaker 1: clap like a trained steal forth. There are very few
Speaker 1: things that I'm just gonna give a standing ovation for.
Speaker 1: You know. Uh, a group of you know, wounded veterans
Speaker 1: walk into the room standing ovation, right. I mean there
Speaker 1: are things when them that's called for. These people are
Speaker 1: giving a standing ovation to a really has been actor
Speaker 1: who I look, he's had a hugely successful career, and
Speaker 1: I get all that. But you know, we don't have
Speaker 1: to pretend like you're important forever. You could just be
Speaker 1: a normal person. You know, there are enough challenges in
Speaker 1: life that you don't have to hang onto your fame,
Speaker 1: cling onto it with your last fingernails. But that he
Speaker 1: said this about Trump, I think is going to be
Speaker 1: much more useful to our side than he ever realized.
Speaker 1: And and just that sentiment really and it's a reminder
Speaker 1: they have learned nothing. They still think that the best
Speaker 1: way to defeat Trump, the best way to win this
Speaker 1: seismic battle that's underway right now, the seismic shift that's
Speaker 1: been happening is to mock and ridicule and not to engage,
Speaker 1: and not to win over. I really hope they continue
Speaker 1: with that, because man oh man, they're gonna lose these
Speaker 1: mid terms and they're gonna have Trump again, and that
Speaker 1: is going to be sweet. The freedom hup party we
Speaker 1: have when Trump gets reelected is going to be off
Speaker 1: the isle. Stay with me. You need the best people
Speaker 1: when you're getting information on a prospective higher, on a
Speaker 1: possible tenant, or for a business to business transaction. Background
Speaker 1: investigations and vetting cannot be an area that you leave
Speaker 1: the last minute or that you just look through. You know,
Speaker 1: whatever comes up online. You need somebody you can trust.
Speaker 1: You need people that have been vetted. I know the
Speaker 1: CEO of Global Verification Network, and I know the kind
Speaker 1: of business he runs. This is simply the best place
Speaker 1: for you to go for background investigations and vetting. And
Speaker 1: it is federally certified as a veteran owned small business.
Speaker 1: It is headquartered here in Chicago. It's not one of
Speaker 1: these huge multinationals that will send all your stuff overseas.
Speaker 1: Their risk mitigation experts can work with you, whatever your industry,
Speaker 1: whatever size of your company. If you need some background
Speaker 1: investigations done, you need some vetting, go to my g
Speaker 1: VN dot com that's my g v N dot com.
Speaker 1: Or call eight seven seven six nine five eleven seventy nine.
Speaker 1: That's eight seven seven six one one seven nine to me.
Speaker 1: Having an honest Inspector General and we have one, obviates
Speaker 1: the need for special counsel. He should be looking into
Speaker 1: this and he will make a report. And we know
Speaker 1: that he can't prosecute so if they're if they're SI,
Speaker 1: but he could he could recommend prosecution, but he has
Speaker 1: to show that there's an actual crime committed and that
Speaker 1: crime would be prosecuted whether it was done by a
Speaker 1: Democrat or Republican or an independent. We have to have
Speaker 1: one standard of justice for all, and we have to
Speaker 1: use the criminal law only as a last resort when
Speaker 1: there's clear evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that an existing
Speaker 1: statutory crime has been committed. I don't think that standard
Speaker 1: has been met, and anybody so far involved in this
Speaker 1: whole disaster, we will all be waiting in the sixteen election.
Speaker 1: You know. The Inspector General reports coming out in just
Speaker 1: a few days, my friends, and I'm seeing that it's
Speaker 1: it's going to uh, it's going to cover some interesting territory.
Speaker 1: We're gonna cover some interesting ground. For sure, you have
Speaker 1: these initial It's tough to know if they are leaks
Speaker 1: or if they are just speculation, but you definitely have
Speaker 1: some some consistent enough themes in all of this that
Speaker 1: you could say to yourself, Okay, hold on, hold on
Speaker 1: a second. The the likelihood here is that Comey is
Speaker 1: about to get tossed under the bus like nobody you
Speaker 1: have seen in a very long time. And I wonder
Speaker 1: how the Democrats are going to run with this or
Speaker 1: what they're gonna do in response to it, because from
Speaker 1: what I've been told, and I've been talking to sources
Speaker 1: down here in d C. When he advantage of being
Speaker 1: in DC. Now, folks, I actually speak to the swamp
Speaker 1: creatures manoamano, which is nice. I've got my swamp creature
Speaker 1: hideouts now I go to them. I talked to them.
Speaker 1: I find out about them. But one thing you're hearing
Speaker 1: from a lot of folks down here is that there's
Speaker 1: very little that Comy is gonna be able to do
Speaker 1: to prevent both Democrats and Republicans from this report that's
Speaker 1: coming out on Thursday, from feeling like Comey was just
Speaker 1: really the whole time, it was just all about Comey
Speaker 1: that was he wanted to play, you know, really like
Speaker 1: he was the one above politics guy in the midst
Speaker 1: of the whole political hurricane that was going on. A
Speaker 1: cross wasn't a cross fire hurricane was a name? What
Speaker 1: that what they called it? That kind of made sense.
Speaker 1: They're gonna say that Comey was insubordinate. They're going to
Speaker 1: say this meaning the Inspector General of the Department of Justice,
Speaker 1: who people have all been saying as well, is a
Speaker 1: respectable career guy, nonpartisan, and is going to present findings
Speaker 1: I think a few hundred pages of findings the So
Speaker 1: the insubordinate nature of what Comy did, the violation of
Speaker 1: Department of Justice regulations, they're gonna say, Comey did that.
Speaker 1: I think that part is quite clear. By the way,
Speaker 1: It's very unlikely to me that we'll see a situation
Speaker 1: where Comy is not not nailed for what he did
Speaker 1: by standing in front of the American people usurping the
Speaker 1: authority of the Department of Justice because he thought it
Speaker 1: was a good idea. Well, maybe Lauretta Lynch shouldn't have
Speaker 1: had a tarmac meeting with Bill Clinton, maybe that shouldn't
Speaker 1: have happened. But there's what other thing that I cannot
Speaker 1: confirm yet, but I have to wonder. Oh, and the
Speaker 1: reason Democrats are gonna get upset, I think is this
Speaker 1: report is allegedly going to include that Comy should not
Speaker 1: have inserted himself at both points, one where he stood
Speaker 1: in front of the people said Hillary won't be charged,
Speaker 1: but then also where he said that the email investigation
Speaker 1: has been reopened, that that Comy was putting his hands
Speaker 1: on the political scales and ways that were completely inexcusable.
Speaker 1: But the the other reported or I should say, based
Speaker 1: on my sources, the other thing that I'm I'm hearing
Speaker 1: about is that there may be an inclusion in this
Speaker 1: that Comy gave information to his lawyer that was classified
Speaker 1: and that it had to be scrubbed from his personal
Speaker 1: you know, personal devices and everything else. If that is true,
Speaker 1: If there or if there's anything about Comy giving the
Speaker 1: memos two uh, you know, his friend who then put
Speaker 1: them with at leaves from the New York Times. If
Speaker 1: any of that is true, think about the ramifications would
Speaker 1: be the guy. That would mean that the guy who
Speaker 1: bailed Hillary out for MS made the decision against d
Speaker 1: o J policy, against rules, regulations, and and the better
Speaker 1: judgment of I think anybody looking at this that guy
Speaker 1: would also be guilty of mishandling classified information on his own,
Speaker 1: that same guy. I think that's going to be a
Speaker 1: very very big issue, very very big problem. And we'll see.
Speaker 1: It's also not going to look good for Loretta Lynch.
Speaker 1: She clearly used horrific judgment. Judgment that is so bad.
Speaker 1: You have to think, you have to think that there
Speaker 1: was something else going on, that there was some message
Speaker 1: or something that they had to say to each other,
Speaker 1: because otherwise it is so I actually give Clinton and
Speaker 1: Lynch some credit here. It is either so colossally stupid
Speaker 1: that the only explanation that I can come with, other
Speaker 1: than they had to exchange information in a private setting,
Speaker 1: was that they're so arrogant that they figured it wouldn't matter.
Speaker 1: I think that's a major factor in a lot of
Speaker 1: what we've seen here with Comey and McCabe and Lynch
Speaker 1: and all this deep state anti Trump activity that has
Speaker 1: been uncovered that's very real, and this IG report, it's
Speaker 1: gonna nail that down so nobody can say, oh, it's
Speaker 1: not true and while you're lying, uh oh, the people
Speaker 1: may say that, but they'll be jokes is that there
Speaker 1: were so much hubers involved that the people that were
Speaker 1: tied to Hillary that we're assuming Hillary would win, were
Speaker 1: so certain she would win that they had almost no fear,
Speaker 1: almost no real consideration of the possibility that it wouldn't happen,
Speaker 1: and that they would never be held accountable because the
Speaker 1: recklessness with Lynch and Comey and some of these others
Speaker 1: of what they did in their actions could only look
Speaker 1: It's true of Hillary too. Hello. The recklessness of what
Speaker 1: Hillary did could only be explained by she just figured
Speaker 1: she'd never get caught, and she almost didn't get caught,
Speaker 1: which I think is something that often gets left out
Speaker 1: of the conversation. If you don't have like that guja
Speaker 1: for hacker guy, and a couple of other things that
Speaker 1: come up. Whatever, some people go, wait a second, what's
Speaker 1: this weird Hillary email address? She would have gotten away
Speaker 1: with the two and it would have gotten away, would
Speaker 1: good too if it weren't for you Dad nabbit kids
Speaker 1: like the Scooby Doo guy, right, isn't that what he is?
Speaker 1: Not what he says at the end, or gosh darnet kids,
Speaker 1: or is it dag nabbit or gosh darnet can have it.
Speaker 1: That works right, all right? I have much more for
Speaker 1: your team. Stay. Oh, we're gonna talk about International House
Speaker 1: of We don't know what I'll tell you after the break.
Speaker 1: I'd love to welcome all of America to the world's
Speaker 1: first I Hobb restaurant, which stands for the International House
Speaker 1: of Burgers. Are doing? Are we still going to have
Speaker 1: pancakes on the menu. We're always going to have pancakes
Speaker 1: on the menu. We're always going to be I Hop.
Speaker 1: But America loves burgers in America loves IE Hop, and
Speaker 1: we thought this was a fantastic combination to bring America's
Speaker 1: burgers to an iconic brand like I Hop. What the
Speaker 1: heck is going on here? It has been the International
Speaker 1: House of Pancakes for as long as I can remember,
Speaker 1: my friends, and now they're they're literally changing from I
Speaker 1: Hop to I Hobb I Hobb. This just strikes me
Speaker 1: as as completely and utterly at odds with their their
Speaker 1: previous mission, which was to serve you pancakes that you
Speaker 1: can't taste, except for the high fruit dose Corns Europe
Speaker 1: that you tend is actually maple syrup that you pour
Speaker 1: all over those tasteless pancakes at about three o'clock in
Speaker 1: the mornings. It's the only twenty four hour place, and
Speaker 1: you and your buddies are super drunken. You're in college,
Speaker 1: and you need to get some substenance because otherwise you're
Speaker 1: gonna pass out. That's what I know of. I hap,
Speaker 1: That's all I know of. I ha and and I
Speaker 1: gotta tell you that this switch to a burger joint
Speaker 1: resulted in some some truly first class trolling today from
Speaker 1: some of their competition. Uh, Wendy's from their official Twitter account,
Speaker 1: producer Mike, did you see these? These were brilliant? So
Speaker 1: so Wendy's from their official Twitter account wrote, in response
Speaker 1: to I hop becoming international house of Burger's, I hobbed
Speaker 1: Wendy's rights. Can't wait to try a burger from the
Speaker 1: place that decided pancakes were too hard, and then I
Speaker 1: gotta get them credit. I have responded, we don't want
Speaker 1: any beef with you, We just want to share our
Speaker 1: beef with the world. And then when He's wrote, welcome
Speaker 1: to the neighborhood. So that was nice. So you know,
Speaker 1: it's a nice Twitter. It's nice Twitter because people who
Speaker 1: are jerks on Twitter or jerks in real life, and
Speaker 1: then the next one is what a burger? Uh? And
Speaker 1: they wrote as much as we love our pancakes, we'd
Speaker 1: never change our name to what a Pancake. I gotta
Speaker 1: say pretty good stuff from the social media directors at
Speaker 1: these two places. Mike, what do you what have your
Speaker 1: experience has been with I HOP because I feel like
Speaker 1: it had its niche, and it's niche was kind of cheap,
Speaker 1: tasteless pancakes, but you can get them twenty four hours
Speaker 1: a day. Yeah, I for what it is what it is.
Speaker 1: I love it for that, you know, right, it gets
Speaker 1: it done and you get the hash browns that vaguely
Speaker 1: taste of potato, right, you know, there's some you're aware
Speaker 1: that it's potato. You're just not excited about it, but
Speaker 1: it's potato. And you can definitely throw some ketchup on there,
Speaker 1: and I wouldn't judge you. Usually I judge with ketchup.
Speaker 1: I always loved the I HOP I love their flavored
Speaker 1: syrups that they had, like the Get the Blueberry syrup
Speaker 1: and the regular maple ye strawberry syrup. I always loved
Speaker 1: the the syrup choices. By the way, how is your
Speaker 1: how is your J. G. Melins experience. It's amazing. I
Speaker 1: forgot how good that place was. I told you, really good.
Speaker 1: I said, I had had a had a craving for
Speaker 1: a burger Saturday night. I was on the east side,
Speaker 1: said going JG. Meltins always a good move, dude. I'm
Speaker 1: proud of you, well done, well done, thank you. So
Speaker 1: you know, I hop is now I hobb. I don't
Speaker 1: think there might you know what it must be. I
Speaker 1: think it's probably too hard to make money selling, uh,
Speaker 1: just selling pancakes because it's such a cheap item. It's
Speaker 1: so inexpensive, and you know, you really need to give
Speaker 1: people in there, you know, burgers you can you can sell,
Speaker 1: you can charge people more. I don't know, that's just
Speaker 1: my Was there any real explanation, Mike, for why they
Speaker 1: made the switch other than just you know, oh, we're
Speaker 1: trying something new. There must be some financial reasons. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I I just saw I saw the interview this more
Speaker 1: on Fox and Friends with the President who just spoke um,
Speaker 1: aside from the name change and this branching out, I
Speaker 1: didn't hear of any other reason explained. But I'm telling
Speaker 1: you there's something. There's something there. I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: when you get into the food the food business, you know,
Speaker 1: your margins are everything, and it's probably just not possible
Speaker 1: to make a real profit selling just uh, selling just pancakes.
Speaker 1: They really I'm guessing they need to branch out. And
Speaker 1: you know, the money's in meat. The money's in meat. Wow,
Speaker 1: people should just hire me to write slogans for them,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. That's right, that's what I
Speaker 1: That's what I should be doing. Um, but I'm not.
Speaker 1: I'm hanging out with you because it's way more fun
Speaker 1: and way more important. Uh. Speaking of fun and important,
Speaker 1: role call is both of those things, and we will
Speaker 1: be getting into some role call here in just a
Speaker 1: few minutes. But you have to stay right there, team,
Speaker 1: because I will be back the show, keeping it real.
Speaker 1: It's time for roll call. You know. Originally I thought
Speaker 1: that that music was a little musaic, like like we're
Speaker 1: all on an elevator looking at each other slightly awkwardly,
Speaker 1: like well, what are you doing here? But I actually
Speaker 1: feel like that music is kind of soothing now, gets me,
Speaker 1: gets me in the move for some row call, which
Speaker 1: if you are in the mood, if you have the need,
Speaker 1: the need for speed and Roll call Facebook dot com,
Speaker 1: slash box sex or official team buck at a gmail
Speaker 1: dot com. So with that, my friends, let me move
Speaker 1: on to uh what you have to say here? First up, Denny, Hi,
Speaker 1: Buck love the show, long time Swoop enthusiast since the
Speaker 1: Real News day days and regular not sporadic. Thank you, sir,
Speaker 1: listener on podcast looking for some advice. My daughter is
Speaker 1: going to be in New York City this week to
Speaker 1: perform at Carnegie Hall. Do you have any advice for
Speaker 1: what to see and do and most importantly, how to
Speaker 1: stay safe in the city? Thank you? Buck Shields high
Speaker 1: from Denny Well, I do. I have lots of advice
Speaker 1: on this one, and as I'm now in the swamp
Speaker 1: I'm in d C, I will tell you please enjoy
Speaker 1: the city for both of us. I miss it. It
Speaker 1: is the greatest city in the world, and this place
Speaker 1: STC really is a swamp by comparison. I am here
Speaker 1: for purely professional reasons. I this place does not, unfortunately
Speaker 1: compare to n y C. Which you don't even care about.
Speaker 1: The polity, the politics, it doesn't even matter. It's just
Speaker 1: so much going on that you haven't the anonymity of
Speaker 1: the masses in New York, which is I think a
Speaker 1: beautiful thing. I'm a big fan of it. Everyone's way
Speaker 1: too into their own thing to care about what anyone
Speaker 1: else is doing, so uh, in terms of what to
Speaker 1: see and do, I'm a look, if you want to
Speaker 1: go see Broadway play, go do that. I can't give
Speaker 1: you any particular insight or advice on that. I don't
Speaker 1: know much about Broadway. I don't I haven't been to
Speaker 1: see much Broadway. But for some people that's a real experience,
Speaker 1: very New York. I think it's definitely worth it. Actually,
Speaker 1: if you go to top of the Rocket Rockefeller Center,
Speaker 1: you may really enjoy that. That's a cool view of
Speaker 1: the city. People usually go the Empire State Building, but uh,
Speaker 1: there's that Ellis Island Statute of Liberty. Clearly, even these
Speaker 1: are the classic tourist things to do for me, I think,
Speaker 1: especially this time of year. You start at Central Park,
Speaker 1: right around the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which is on
Speaker 1: about eighty four and fifth Avenue ish eighty three and
Speaker 1: fifth Avenue. Going to the met it's one of the
Speaker 1: most amazing museums the world. Pick one part of it
Speaker 1: you really want to see, because otherwise you'll just be
Speaker 1: overwhelmed it. Spend whatever time you can there and then
Speaker 1: just walk south through to the park and just kind
Speaker 1: of go whichever way the paths take you. Eventually you'll
Speaker 1: find yourself at Central Park South. You'll be in midtown
Speaker 1: and you know from there you can go grab a
Speaker 1: bite or whatever. It is. My favorite neighborhoods in New
Speaker 1: York City are Greenwich Village, Chelsea UH, and the West Village.
Speaker 1: If you're into some funkier stuff, you can check out
Speaker 1: the East Village. But really, for the best neighborhoods, you
Speaker 1: want to stay south of St. Best burger in the city. J. G. Mellons,
Speaker 1: no question about it. Best ice cream, ample Hills. You
Speaker 1: can go to ample Hills Creamery down in the meat
Speaker 1: Packing District. Meat Packing is a cool area too, but
Speaker 1: it's more of a nightlife thing. Denny. I don't know
Speaker 1: if you want to bust out your funky moves, but
Speaker 1: there you have. Oh and the UH high Line Park
Speaker 1: and Chelsea Market. I'd go check out Chelsea Market, go
Speaker 1: for a walk in the Highline Parks. So there you
Speaker 1: have it, everybody, any of you who have some New
Speaker 1: York trip coming up. I think I've given you some
Speaker 1: good by the way. Producer Mike, I was very excited,
Speaker 1: made his way to J G. Melons over the weekend.
Speaker 1: Ha Hi five producer Mike. Very well done. I'm not
Speaker 1: the coast. See what happens. Have a few laughs. Uh so,
Speaker 1: there you have it. Thank you, Denny. Oh And in
Speaker 1: terms of safety, and I've been talking about this whole
Speaker 1: New York thing for a while, but in terms of safety,
Speaker 1: New York is a shockingly safe big city. Uh. If
Speaker 1: you're in Manhattan, which is one of the five boroughs,
Speaker 1: I would tell you that safety is is a is
Speaker 1: almost a non concern. That is how safe the city
Speaker 1: has become. I mean, obviously, don't walk around with a
Speaker 1: hundred dollar bills falling out of your pockets, acting like
Speaker 1: you're drunk or something. But you know, it's it's just
Speaker 1: not a problem. When I grew up, there was a
Speaker 1: big problem. You had to really think about safety. So
Speaker 1: it is a dramatic change. It's very different than it
Speaker 1: was before. Next up, Cindy, see you get talking, give
Speaker 1: me talking about New York because I miss I'm missing
Speaker 1: white c right now. I'm I'm a little I'm a
Speaker 1: little homesick. From my hometown. But and miss Molly's up there,
Speaker 1: although we're getting her down here for good soon. Don't worry, Uh, Cindy,
Speaker 1: not sure if you not this time sense of information.
Speaker 1: F d A did a study with this great man.
Speaker 1: Finally results were better and less harmful to the human
Speaker 1: body then chemo. Um, I don't know about this study
Speaker 1: about cancer treatment, but I will check it out, Cindy,
Speaker 1: thank you for passing it along. Uh Matthew, and he writes, Yo, buddy,
Speaker 1: congrats on stepping out onto your own. I lost your
Speaker 1: podcast for a while when you switch, but I've been
Speaker 1: listening again for a few months. Um. I held off
Speaker 1: telling you because you didn't want to put put you
Speaker 1: on tilt if you didn't know. But your Hill TV
Speaker 1: gig was out it on podcast several weeks ago. Oh
Speaker 1: I know, trust me. I'm guessing during a commercial break,
Speaker 1: all the conversations you were having with a journalist and
Speaker 1: then your production staff was recorded. Maybe someone told you already,
Speaker 1: Oh yes they did. Anyway, you definitely need someone reviewing
Speaker 1: those podcasts because I I have heard some errors like that.
Speaker 1: Best of luck. Also, you need to preread those team
Speaker 1: by Speaks emails. You need to know what is coming.
Speaker 1: You seem completely off balance when you read them. Well, Matthew,
Speaker 1: you know I'm doing it live on the air, Buddy,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, if I pre read them,
Speaker 1: then I'm kind of pre selecting them. I thought some
Speaker 1: of the fun was that it's a little bit of
Speaker 1: a like, well, let's see what we got here, and
Speaker 1: I just go to it. Occasionally we get a little
Speaker 1: lost in the emails. But hey, your your opinion is valid.
Speaker 1: Uh So there you have it. There you have it. Um,
Speaker 1: let's see what else we have here? Yeah, where do
Speaker 1: we have? Uh? Duke wrote the following, Hey, uh, he wrote,
Speaker 1: watch blazing Saddles, goofball? What is knocking around inside that
Speaker 1: oversized noggin? In fact, to be at least reasonably intelligent,
Speaker 1: watch every mel Brooks ever made, just keeping it real? Buck? Well, Duke,
Speaker 1: thank you. I will take you up on that. I
Speaker 1: will certainly check it out. Uh, Dave, next up here. Buck.
Speaker 1: I find it very amusing when you lend your voice
Speaker 1: east to us your listeners. For instance, in recently speaking
Speaker 1: about linen suits not women's suits, and how they always
Speaker 1: appear wrinkled, you said, I'm just trying to pass along
Speaker 1: the wisdom of my thirty six years here. A lot
Speaker 1: of you are like Buck, I got twice your years.
Speaker 1: Why don't you learn yourself? Which would be a fair point.
Speaker 1: Being nearly sixty and owning a linen suit, I'd say
Speaker 1: you totally read my mind. Maybe you should rethink the
Speaker 1: whole caller aspect of the show. L O L. Thanks
Speaker 1: for the informative and entertaining work you're doing. It is
Speaker 1: much appreciated. Sincerely, Dave. Listeners since the election and Black
Speaker 1: Rifle Coffee monthly service member and Proud Shields High T
Speaker 1: shirt wearer. Well, Dave, You're amazing man. Thank you, Dave.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you this right now. I know you
Speaker 1: around Sacramento. Uh, And I just wanted to say then
Speaker 1: to to all of our Sacramento listeners. Hey, everybody out
Speaker 1: in California. Good to talk to you. Thank you for
Speaker 1: joining the Hut. And Dave, you've you've like made my
Speaker 1: day and it's been a tough one. So you're note
Speaker 1: single handedly has improved my mood. So thank you very
Speaker 1: much for that. It means a lot. See see how
Speaker 1: easy this folks to just to actually just spread goodness
Speaker 1: and and good cheer sound a little bit like a
Speaker 1: Charles Dickens novel that who would like spread goodness and
Speaker 1: good cheer. But it's but it's true, a true thing.
Speaker 1: It's a real thing, all right. Next up, Erica, you
Speaker 1: mentioned the homeless tents in California. We are visiting Washington
Speaker 1: this summer. Is there any place or anything like that
Speaker 1: we need to avoid in d C? Well, Erica, the
Speaker 1: parts of d C you are likely to visit as
Speaker 1: a tourist are quite safe. But d C, in fact
Speaker 1: is a more dangerous city per capita than New York City.
Speaker 1: And I have certainly noticed the homeless uh issue here
Speaker 1: is is a bit different as well. I mean there
Speaker 1: are there are, there are people in tents on the
Speaker 1: streets in the main downtown part of the city. Not
Speaker 1: to the same degree anything like it, anything near near it.
Speaker 1: Um Oh, I cannot not speak English. Today radio host
Speaker 1: Buck radio host. Not nearly to the same degree as California.
Speaker 1: But it is, it is a thing here. But if
Speaker 1: you stay in the main areas, you know where where
Speaker 1: the White House is, Georgetown, the Washington Monument, uh Shaw,
Speaker 1: which is kind of a new trendy neighborhood, you're totally fine.
Speaker 1: You'll be you'll be fine and DC. But look, in
Speaker 1: any city, you gotta keep you gotta keep basic safety
Speaker 1: in mind. Right, you can never completely let your guard
Speaker 1: down whatever city you're in. UM, but I don't think
Speaker 1: there's anywhere you have to specifically avoid Paul. Next here,
Speaker 1: he writes, Bucks, Seriously, you have not seen Blazing Saddles.
Speaker 1: Watch it twice in a row. You will be shocked
Speaker 1: through the first run. The second run you will laugh.
Speaker 1: I guarantee it. Well, Paul, I will give it a shot.
Speaker 1: Thank you so very very much. UM, I will get
Speaker 1: to it. I don't know when. I don't have a
Speaker 1: TV right now. I'm living in a in an apartment
Speaker 1: with a mattress on the ground and that is my
Speaker 1: only furniture. I have a folding chair that I got
Speaker 1: from Walmart. I was in Walmart this past weekend. You
Speaker 1: know this may sound a little no dub Buck, but
Speaker 1: Walmart is an incredible place. It really is like the
Speaker 1: greatest American monument to commerce that you can visit. It's
Speaker 1: tremendous and you know, there's a lot of fresh food.
Speaker 1: I mean this Walmart I went to in d C.
Speaker 1: I think it's a super Walmart. So maybe it's even
Speaker 1: if that's a thing. Thus it's a super Walmart. Um,
Speaker 1: I don't know, but it's a very It was an
Speaker 1: incredible place. I mean you could buy everything you need
Speaker 1: for your home. You could probably buy what you need
Speaker 1: to build a home, and then everything you need for
Speaker 1: inside the home, and then all the food you need
Speaker 1: in clothing you need for years and years to come,
Speaker 1: just based on Walmart, just what you get from Walmer.
Speaker 1: So there you have it, um, And then we have
Speaker 1: Josh Buck. I'm so glad you mentioned Jordan Peterson and
Speaker 1: his BBC interview that was epic. I've been reading his
Speaker 1: book Twelve Rules for Life and have got a lot
Speaker 1: out of it. I think you need to have him
Speaker 1: and in his in his felture on the show together
Speaker 1: see if producer Mike can make it happen. I think
Speaker 1: you all would have an amazing and super informative discussion
Speaker 1: about the dangerous psychological game the left is playing all
Speaker 1: the best shields high ps. I dig the intro for
Speaker 1: the dubstep roll call. Well, thank you, Josh. It's a
Speaker 1: great idea. Producer Mike is on it, and I'm glad
Speaker 1: that somebody else left you know, dubstep just puts a
Speaker 1: little pep in your step, as I like to say, so,
Speaker 1: I'm glad I finally got to make the big announcement today.
Speaker 1: But while I'm down in d C, I hope you
Speaker 1: all tune in this Wednesday to Hill Dot TV and
Speaker 1: until tomorrow on this radio show. My friends, you know
