Speaker 1: You are entering the Freedom Hunt. Former FBI director Comey
Speaker 1: had an agent of influence that he was using to
Speaker 1: coax the media to go in certain directions and to
Speaker 1: fight against the Trump administration. We'll get into that. Plus
Speaker 1: we know that Rue Giuliani gave quite an interview last night.
Speaker 1: What are the Democrats trying to make of it? And
Speaker 1: where does the defense of this administration go from here?
Speaker 1: Plus a series of deadly plane crashes that have killed
Speaker 1: members of our military. What is happening? How can we
Speaker 1: stop it? That and more coming up. This is the
Speaker 1: buck Sexton Show, where the mission or mission is to
Speaker 1: decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. Mag No mistake, American,
Speaker 1: You're great, American Again the Buck Sexton Show begins. No,
Speaker 1: Welcome to the buck Sexton Show, DC. Freedom Hunt in
Speaker 1: effect down here in the swamp. But you see, the
Speaker 1: Freedom Hunt is now an island of sanity and and
Speaker 1: truth in the midst of the swamp. Right, So this
Speaker 1: is with all the things going on here, this is
Speaker 1: Freedom's safe haven in the midst of the swamp. The
Speaker 1: Freedom Hunt is alive and well down here, my friends.
Speaker 1: I've got a lot to talk to you about today,
Speaker 1: as I always do, but I was just flabbergasted kind
Speaker 1: of a fun word to say by the reactions to
Speaker 1: the Rudy Giuliani interview last night on on Shawn's Show,
Speaker 1: The way that the media now seems to think that
Speaker 1: they're just counting down the hours until Trump gets in diet.
Speaker 1: It's it's just not It's not going to happen. Unless
Speaker 1: Trump gets really bad legal advice and they can jam
Speaker 1: him up with a process crime of some kind. It's
Speaker 1: not gonna happen. But there is a mass delusion that
Speaker 1: has taken hold in Democrat precincts across the country, and
Speaker 1: certainly in the newsrooms of most of the mainstream media outlets.
Speaker 1: But before we get to that Juliana Juliani interview, because
Speaker 1: I know it was last night, a lot have you
Speaker 1: heard about it. I have a different take on much
Speaker 1: of it. Part of it is that, like I'm a
Speaker 1: board and raised New Yorker, Giuliani was there on nine
Speaker 1: eleven and did things that he will be forever remembered
Speaker 1: and honored for. I don't know if he's the best
Speaker 1: guy to be running Trump's legal team right now, but
Speaker 1: I also don't know who else would step forward and
Speaker 1: do it. One of the important lessons that anyone watching
Speaker 1: all of this, this circuit surround Trump would have to
Speaker 1: take from it is that they want to take down
Speaker 1: even those who are just trying to make sure that
Speaker 1: the President of the United States has his rights respected
Speaker 1: and and in defending his constitutional prerogatives. They'll take down
Speaker 1: that person. You don't have to be a part of
Speaker 1: the Trump campaign for them to want to come after
Speaker 1: you. You You don't have to be one of his political appointees.
Speaker 1: If you're just a lawyer willing to stand up and say,
Speaker 1: hold on a second, what kind of completely crazy stazzi
Speaker 1: like police state tactics are the Democrats engaged in here.
Speaker 1: I saw the report today about how you know, maybe
Speaker 1: maybe Cohen's phone call uh to the White House was
Speaker 1: picked up under surveillance. This is serious stuff. An active
Speaker 1: wire tap on it on the president's lawyer, my friends,
Speaker 1: and this are oh, there are crimes, crimes. Oh, I'm
Speaker 1: sorry they're now authorizing wired because they think maybe there
Speaker 1: was a campaign finance violation. You know, your mind, because
Speaker 1: you're you and I are ethical people, your mind wants
Speaker 1: to go to a place of they can't they can't
Speaker 1: be serious. Oh no, no, they're entirely serious because they
Speaker 1: don't care that it is unfair. They don't care that
Speaker 1: it's hurting the entire country. And then it's completely dishonest
Speaker 1: and disproportionate to what kinds of powers and authorities should
Speaker 1: be used against the sitting president for given what we're
Speaker 1: talking about here campaign finance? Are you kidding me? Hillary
Speaker 1: Clinton was running a freaking global scam under the auspices
Speaker 1: of a charity. Oh, we couldn't, couldn't really dig into
Speaker 1: that one. Do do any do any of the of
Speaker 1: the intrepid journalists over at CNN or MSNBC want to
Speaker 1: have a sit down and explain to me why the
Speaker 1: Clinton Foundations money has been drying up like a ittie
Speaker 1: pool in the middle of the Sahara. Anyone want to
Speaker 1: explain that to me? Now? What a shock? But oh yeah,
Speaker 1: campaign finance, Now it's a good thing we've got, you
Speaker 1: know Elliott ness of today on the case with well
Speaker 1: it was Comey and now it's Mueller. Just crazy, just crazy. Um.
Speaker 1: But what really caught my attention today was something that
Speaker 1: I know a bit about because it's really a it's
Speaker 1: borrowed from the world of intelligence and espionage. And that
Speaker 1: is what we found out about what I would call
Speaker 1: Kobe's Jim Comey's agent of influence. Daniel Rickman was hired
Speaker 1: as a special government employee, and according to Fox here Um,
Speaker 1: between of July and February, Rickman gave multiple interviews defending
Speaker 1: Comy's handling of the Clinton email case, including the controversial
Speaker 1: decision to reopen the probe shortly before the presidential election.
Speaker 1: He was typically identified as a law professor and sometimes
Speaker 1: as a policy advisor to Coomy. Let me, let me
Speaker 1: just get into this a little bit more. And by
Speaker 1: the way, an agent of influence, you can pretty much
Speaker 1: tell what it is based on the based on the
Speaker 1: name itself. But this is somebody whose role is to
Speaker 1: mold perception, to push certain agendas. An agent of influences
Speaker 1: someone who's really working on your behalf as a propagandist. Right.
Speaker 1: It's somebody who is in a position that allows them
Speaker 1: to push on levers to bring about a certain outcome.
Speaker 1: Uh here, I mean. The Wikipedia definition is one who's
Speaker 1: uses his his or her stature to influence public opinion
Speaker 1: or decision making to produce results beneficial to the country,
Speaker 1: whose intelligence service operates the agent, right. So you know,
Speaker 1: if if you let's say, this is the perfect example
Speaker 1: the Soviets, if the Soviets as they did. By the way,
Speaker 1: they don't teach the stuff in school, but I read
Speaker 1: a lot of old books that are out of print,
Speaker 1: and you can see a lot of this stuff. The
Speaker 1: Soviets were running money to publications all over the world.
Speaker 1: The Soviets were paying journalists to push communist propaganda and
Speaker 1: by the way, in some cases at very high levels.
Speaker 1: So someone who runs a newspaper, let's say in the
Speaker 1: US or anywhere else, who's receiving money from the Soviets
Speaker 1: and who's pushing a pro Soviet line, that's an agent
Speaker 1: of influence. Comey was using this guy, Daniel Rickman, as
Speaker 1: his own personal agent of influence under the auspices of
Speaker 1: being a special government employee for the FBI. So comy,
Speaker 1: it's to have kind of in the side pocket or
Speaker 1: in the back pocket side pockets and pool reference. My bad. Uh.
Speaker 1: He gets to have this individual who has media relationships
Speaker 1: and can go out there and spread the commist line
Speaker 1: whenever he wants. You know, the FBI is not supposed
Speaker 1: to do that. It's not how it's supposed to work.
Speaker 1: FBI has a Office of Public Affairs. They have people
Speaker 1: or whatever they call it. They have people who openly
Speaker 1: interact with the media, but it's usually very, you know,
Speaker 1: very restrictive as to what they can and cannot talk about.
Speaker 1: And it's kind of all in the straight and narrow.
Speaker 1: You don't get to run your own little little side
Speaker 1: guy to the media and go do your bidding as
Speaker 1: FBI director. You've gotta be kidding me. How could anybody
Speaker 1: do this and think that this is ethical or okay?
Speaker 1: Being paid by the taxpayer, I would note, So we're
Speaker 1: seeing more as time goes on, more of what we
Speaker 1: know happened. But now we're getting greater, greater, uh greater
Speaker 1: amount of proof, and that is that some of these
Speaker 1: very senior deep state bureaucrats were clearly abusing their power
Speaker 1: and authority in in i'll be honest, somewhat creative ways
Speaker 1: in order to push a certain message to the media
Speaker 1: and to the general public with it. They weren't just
Speaker 1: running operations trying to get different journalists to think certain
Speaker 1: things and to run with certain stories, although that was
Speaker 1: certainly that was definitely a part of it. You saw
Speaker 1: that with McCabe. For example, McCabe, who's leaking stuff. Okay,
Speaker 1: the FBI, the FBI director. You start to run down
Speaker 1: a list of this stuff and it stinks to high heaven.
Speaker 1: The FBI acting director, we'll leak something and then have
Speaker 1: the the hoot spa to call the New York field
Speaker 1: office of the FBI and yell at them for the
Speaker 1: leak that he did. Comey's running this agent of influence
Speaker 1: guy Daniel Rickman, who's talking to the media and defending
Speaker 1: Comy's handling of the FBI while he's an FBI employee.
Speaker 1: Can't do that. Comey decides to take notes pass them
Speaker 1: to Rickman. Rickman's the guy who then takes them to
Speaker 1: New York Times. So Rickman was the cutout that we've
Speaker 1: been talking about. But now I say he's the agent
Speaker 1: of influence, but he was serving. He was serving an
Speaker 1: organization of one really, which was James Comey. This is
Speaker 1: the guy that we I would note, or are suffering
Speaker 1: as a nation through this nightmare of the Mueller investigation
Speaker 1: because Comey got fired because of this dirt ball. You
Speaker 1: gotta be kidding me here. We are media thinks this
Speaker 1: is great. They think they're hot on the trail. They
Speaker 1: think that it's just a matter of just a matter
Speaker 1: of of weeks, maybe months, but weeks before they finally
Speaker 1: kick at the load bearing walls of this administration and
Speaker 1: with it, the country and bring it all tumbling down.
Speaker 1: That's what they think is gonna happen. In fact, they've
Speaker 1: bet that it's going to happen. They can't go back
Speaker 1: in their minds. They've put all their chips on the table,
Speaker 1: and the Trump is gonna collapse, and they're doing everything
Speaker 1: they can to make it collapse. This is straight up politically.
Speaker 1: This is a I was saying, it's a street fight.
Speaker 1: It's true, a bar fight. True, it's a political war
Speaker 1: that we are in the midst of right now. The
Speaker 1: establishment has not decided to engage in any introspection. They're
Speaker 1: not trying to fix what they did wrong. They're not like, well,
Speaker 1: Hillary was just a crap, lousy candidate. No. No, they
Speaker 1: want payback. They want an end of this. They want
Speaker 1: their power back. It's true of the mainstream media networks.
Speaker 1: It's true the Democrat Party, It's through of the progressive
Speaker 1: elitist establishment across the board. They view Trump as a
Speaker 1: threat to their sense of self, to their power, to
Speaker 1: their money, all of it, and they're all in against him.
Speaker 1: And this is why, as much as I would like
Speaker 1: to sit here and you know, have kind of a
Speaker 1: Sunday school session and talk about how well, you know,
Speaker 1: did Trump do some naughty things, I do not care
Speaker 1: because I understand the stakes. That's not to say that
Speaker 1: I'll defend everything Trump does. I'm actually gonna we're gonna
Speaker 1: talk later on about immigration because this is the story
Speaker 1: that I can't know. It's not getting nearly enough attention,
Speaker 1: maybe because the administrations undersiege right now, but it's not
Speaker 1: getting nearly enough attention because we're not getting what was
Speaker 1: promised on that. But in the grand scheme of things,
Speaker 1: I'm still in the bunker. I'm in the trench next
Speaker 1: to Trump and all of his people because I know
Speaker 1: what the other side is trying to do. I know
Speaker 1: how they're going about it, and I know what they
Speaker 1: want if they win, and what it means for you
Speaker 1: and for me and of the country that you've got
Speaker 1: Comey going around as really the de facto general of
Speaker 1: the hashtag resistance given all of the completely unethical, slimy,
Speaker 1: self serving, self dealing stuff, that he did as FBI director.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a big job with a lot of
Speaker 1: authority and power. That all that happened and here we
Speaker 1: are and we can't seem to get out of this.
Speaker 1: Is is a kind of awaking nightmare at this point.
Speaker 1: I mean, it really is threatening so much of what
Speaker 1: I think could be accomplished by this administration when should
Speaker 1: be good for so much of the American people. But
Speaker 1: we are facing an implacable enemy. The enemy is the
Speaker 1: progressive left with all of its redistribution and state ism
Speaker 1: and authoritarianism and as we see now, petty police state
Speaker 1: stuff too. So I'll get into some of the more
Speaker 1: some of the specifics on this when we come back.
Speaker 1: And and I the fact that Comey's lawyer is Patrick
Speaker 1: Fitzgerald is just perfect, really the most the most relentless, unethical,
Speaker 1: slimy headhunter prosecutor of the last twenty years, of all
Speaker 1: the lawyers in the country. That's who Comey wants to
Speaker 1: have his back. I wonder why some of us, by
Speaker 1: the way, have known who Fitzgerald was since even before
Speaker 1: Scooter Libby. Go back and read about the Conrad Black case.
Speaker 1: Eight four four to five lines are open Team love
Speaker 1: to hear from you. What do you think about that
Speaker 1: Giuliani interview last night? I need to I know you
Speaker 1: might have already talked to your friends about it, you know,
Speaker 1: on the way to work, or at the cooler or
Speaker 1: picking up the kids whatever. I want to know what
Speaker 1: you think, though, team, because we need to make sure
Speaker 1: that we are following this thing closely, because the stakes
Speaker 1: are being raised right now. They are They're all in
Speaker 1: on Trump's destruction. We'll be right back. I think they
Speaker 1: want to destroy the president. They want to destroy his family,
Speaker 1: they want to destroy his businesses, they want to destroy
Speaker 1: his friends, so that no billionaire and let's say fifteen
Speaker 1: years wakes up and tells his wife, you know what,
Speaker 1: the country's broken and only I can fix it. His
Speaker 1: wife will say, are you crazy? Did you see what
Speaker 1: happened to Donald Trump and everybody around him? Marcat Puto
Speaker 1: is one I'm sorry, Mike, and Puto is one hundred
Speaker 1: percent correct. That is exactly what's going on. You have
Speaker 1: to remember, it's it's a trauma. The left has been
Speaker 1: triggered here. It's not enough for them to even just
Speaker 1: get Trump removed from office, maybe even prosecuted after moved
Speaker 1: from office. That's not enough. They have to stop another
Speaker 1: Trump like figure from ever emerging in their lifetimes because
Speaker 1: they have really been thrown for a loop here. They've
Speaker 1: been traumatized, they've been triggered by Trump, and they want
Speaker 1: to use this, uh, this upstart. You know, they want
Speaker 1: to change the narrative so that he's a cautionary tale
Speaker 1: for anyone else who would ever think of challenging this establishment.
Speaker 1: You want to talk about a deep state, A deep
Speaker 1: state's gonna be like twenty tho leagues deep if they
Speaker 1: actually get their way here. Think about the think about
Speaker 1: what the president is. You know, we don't forget things, right,
Speaker 1: just like we didn't forget that they the media lied
Speaker 1: and covered up for Bill Clinton, and he lied under oath,
Speaker 1: and the law wasn't really the law then, and there's
Speaker 1: all these other examples that we can talk about since
Speaker 1: then too. If Bill Clinton is in my lifetime, certainly
Speaker 1: one that we will never forget, well, we're also not
Speaker 1: gonna forget. No one's gonna forget any time soon that
Speaker 1: the FBI and some other as yet identified members of
Speaker 1: the senior hours of the intelligence community, and we've identified
Speaker 1: some of them right because they're coming forward talking, but
Speaker 1: they were engaged in a campaign to stop and then
Speaker 1: undo the Trump presidency. And if they're sick, and if
Speaker 1: they're successful after the fact, think about the message that
Speaker 1: that sends. People will talk about the institutions and our
Speaker 1: Trump is so dangerous to institutions. What does it say
Speaker 1: when our institutions want to subvert the will of the
Speaker 1: American people throw the election upside down all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. You don't get to really choose. That's
Speaker 1: a scary country, folks. And at that point do I
Speaker 1: even tell people, Yeah, go out and vote. Sure, American democracy.
Speaker 1: I know we're a public. Don't send me the emails.
Speaker 1: American democracy is the best us. Well maybe it was,
Speaker 1: but you want to talk about what we are losing now,
Speaker 1: all the hysteria over Russia's interference in our election. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: people that are supposed to be public servants of our
Speaker 1: government and the media that are supposed to be serving
Speaker 1: the purpose of informing the public there overturning an election.
Speaker 1: That is what we are seeing happening here. This is
Speaker 1: why they have all these pathetic justifications for all. Look,
Speaker 1: it might be campaign finance, or it might be Russia collusion,
Speaker 1: or it might be doesn't mean the crime that Trump, theoretically,
Speaker 1: with no evidence, may have committed to justify all these
Speaker 1: changes every week. I mean, it's like Trump doesn't even
Speaker 1: have time to eat at cheeseburger because I guess he's
Speaker 1: just committing crimes all the time. They're crazy. He's holding
Speaker 1: the line for America, Buck Sexton his back. I'm never
Speaker 1: gonna work on a Republican campaign again unless somebody legally
Speaker 1: indemnifies me clearly these lawsuits after the fact, or the
Speaker 1: new democratic strategy, when you lose, you still win. I
Speaker 1: don't think anybody should work on a Republican campaign again
Speaker 1: unless they're legally indemnified. I think if you do, you're crazy.
Speaker 1: Michael Capputo really hitting some very important notes here on
Speaker 1: TV in the last twenty four hours or so. How
Speaker 1: many stories do you see about people that the Mueller
Speaker 1: probe is basically bankrupting? Michael Michael Capputo is a former
Speaker 1: aide to Donald From's presidential campaign. I mean, he understands,
Speaker 1: you know, there's a real cost to all of this
Speaker 1: to a bunch of journalists out there, and I'm surrounded
Speaker 1: by them here in d c They're all over the place.
Speaker 1: See them walking on the streets. Swamp creatures are plenty. Uh.
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm doing some kind of a you know,
Speaker 1: wild Kingdom tour here, or I'm like, oh there, I'll say,
Speaker 1: saying end journalists, MSN bas creeping through the toll grass.
Speaker 1: But truth is, they don't care. I don't know. I
Speaker 1: don't know how much of its ignorance, but I know
Speaker 1: for sure they don't care that people like Michael Flynn
Speaker 1: are losing their life savings and their lives and their livelihood,
Speaker 1: their freedom for what it's a destroy Trump operation anyone
Speaker 1: near him. Now, I gotta be honest. I was thinking
Speaker 1: about this the other day, at this point in time,
Speaker 1: I mean, are there many people that I think would
Speaker 1: be a more adept on his or her feet brawler
Speaker 1: with the media on behalf of Trump than me have
Speaker 1: given the opportunity. No, I think that I think I
Speaker 1: can hold my own with literally anybody that said would
Speaker 1: there be a part of me? And it's like, well,
Speaker 1: you don't want to get married, so you don't want
Speaker 1: to start a family, and I don't. I don't. I
Speaker 1: don't know if I I don't know if I jump
Speaker 1: into the breach right now. I'm just being honest with you.
Speaker 1: I mean, there's a part of the love to tell you.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you know, m hmm, what so I so
Speaker 1: I could drown in legal bills. You you joined Trump
Speaker 1: and so you must haven't you must have information? No,
Speaker 1: I have it. I'm just trying to serve my country right,
Speaker 1: trying to do my thing. So yeah, it's it's really
Speaker 1: disquiet ng. It's a polite way of saying, messed up.
Speaker 1: What's going on right now? It really is people are
Speaker 1: being treated terribly, very shabbily by those who are supposed
Speaker 1: to be the the if not the guaranteurs, at least
Speaker 1: supporting our civil liberties and individual rights, you know, the
Speaker 1: the fourth of state. It's really a fifth column, and
Speaker 1: it's it's a disgrace. And Computa is totally right. By
Speaker 1: the way, this is part of a of a larger
Speaker 1: theme that you see where somehow we're not actually having
Speaker 1: political debates anymore. It's just how do I get how
Speaker 1: do I ruin your reputation? If if you're a Democrat,
Speaker 1: will you wake up saying yourself, your Democrat, who's playing
Speaker 1: this game of power politics? You're not making the case
Speaker 1: for how terrible Trump is doing in the economy. Economy
Speaker 1: is good. Good luck with that, right. Just imagine if
Speaker 1: we had had somebody with Trump's approach to say capitalism
Speaker 1: and free enterprise instead of Obama after the financial crisis,
Speaker 1: which was not of the Republican parties, making, by the way,
Speaker 1: one of the great myths that the media perpetrated. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there was a symbiotic relationship. Just a little little trip
Speaker 1: down memory lane if you don't mind with me for
Speaker 1: a second. Here there was a symbiotic relationship between government
Speaker 1: policy and Wall Street shark like behavior with the whole
Speaker 1: mortgage meltdown without the loosening of lending standards based on
Speaker 1: who wants to guess? Why did we have decades of
Speaker 1: looser and looser lending standards in this country? Sure you
Speaker 1: know the ownership society in the else how did it start?
Speaker 1: Community Reinvestment Act stretches back to the late sixties early seventies.
Speaker 1: I believe the cr A. What was the big problem
Speaker 1: with the c r A or what was the c
Speaker 1: r A trying to address? Oh, the disparities and lending
Speaker 1: among um different ethnic groups in this country. Who was
Speaker 1: getting loans and who wasn't became a social justice issue,
Speaker 1: became a racial justice issue. Gotta get rid of the
Speaker 1: you know, using of Phyco scores and all the rest
Speaker 1: of it. Gotta gotta change the system. It's not the
Speaker 1: system wasn't fair. The system based on numbers and and
Speaker 1: background of payment and all that wasn't fair. And then
Speaker 1: they kept going and going, and then Wall Street saw
Speaker 1: an opportunity. And look, people work on Wall Street to
Speaker 1: make money, right, They're not actually trying to here cancer
Speaker 1: or save the world. And that's how we got that monster,
Speaker 1: uh that almost took down the whole economy, global economy,
Speaker 1: but it was there was a huge social justice and
Speaker 1: government intervention component to the meltdown. Without it, it it was
Speaker 1: not possible. And this is a story that is not told.
Speaker 1: There's no mention of this in the movie The Big Short.
Speaker 1: There's no mention of this, and most of the major
Speaker 1: you know, major pop culture, uh, nonfiction treatments of this
Speaker 1: that under Clinton, they were suing banks that were like, well,
Speaker 1: we're not gonna make this long because we think it's
Speaker 1: a bad loan. Sorry, you gotta make more loans. It's
Speaker 1: to social justice issue. Gotta make more loans. And people
Speaker 1: you don't think, you don't think I gotta pay them back? Okay, well,
Speaker 1: how could that go bad? And then we found out.
Speaker 1: But imagine if we had Trump instead of Obama at
Speaker 1: that point in time. I think we would have recovered
Speaker 1: much more rapidly. We wouldn't have spent a trillion dollars
Speaker 1: on Democrat giveaways. There's all kinds of stuff. We could
Speaker 1: look back on it and say, wow, that would have
Speaker 1: been great. Um. But see, they don't. They don't attack
Speaker 1: Trump on the economy because as much as they want
Speaker 1: to get us all scared about China and trade wars
Speaker 1: and everything, it's just not happened. And we can see
Speaker 1: we are aware of the benefits, the economic benefits of
Speaker 1: having a Trump presidency so far, but we don't. It's
Speaker 1: not even part of the discussion. Really, I don't even
Speaker 1: hear it. If somebody asked me right now, and then
Speaker 1: this look, this goes into all the different strategies the
Speaker 1: Democrats using. And ask yourself this question too, because I'm
Speaker 1: gonna pose it from the I'll speak from the eye
Speaker 1: perspective here. That's what you're supposed to do in business meetings, right,
Speaker 1: If you're gonna try to be helpful. I'm talking from
Speaker 1: the eye perspective that wants to say something like, you
Speaker 1: are not good at this. You say I would like
Speaker 1: to help you with this. Um if someone said, buck,
Speaker 1: I'll give you, I'll give you a lot of money
Speaker 1: if you can really you know, I'll give you a
Speaker 1: lot of money. Is a hundred dollars, I'll give you
Speaker 1: a hundred dollars if you can articulate what the Democrat
Speaker 1: message for the upcoming mid terms is like, I'll give
Speaker 1: you a bag of cash, I would say, in all honesty,
Speaker 1: I don't know other than impeach Trump, throw all of
Speaker 1: his family members in prison, because that's really what they
Speaker 1: want to do, including and Trump of course, right, impeach Trump,
Speaker 1: throw the whole White House in prison. Now that's not
Speaker 1: it's never gonna happen. But that's what they're That's how
Speaker 1: they're getting their base energize. That's what they're pushing. I
Speaker 1: don't hear any other message. What's the other message? What
Speaker 1: else do they want? What are they for or against? Even? Oh,
Speaker 1: illegal immigration, yeah sure, okay, we know that, but they
Speaker 1: won't run on that. Though. The Democrat Party is for
Speaker 1: illegal immigration. But they won't tell you that. They'll just
Speaker 1: do it because it's all about votes, power politics. I
Speaker 1: love who was it, uh producer Mike if if you, um,
Speaker 1: I forget what wasn't it uh? Last week or so
Speaker 1: somebody was all upset like, oh my gosh, Trump is
Speaker 1: saying illegal immigration is all about votes. Yeah, my man,
Speaker 1: that that is what That is why the Democrat Party
Speaker 1: cares so much about legal immigration. It is all about votes. This,
Speaker 1: I mean, we're gonna sit around here to tell where
Speaker 1: a bunch of clowns don't know anything. This is the
Speaker 1: fight though, this is where it is now. It's for
Speaker 1: someone who makes makes his living now such as it
Speaker 1: is um talking, thinking, writing, speaking about these issues, which
Speaker 1: I think I find really important. I mean I I
Speaker 1: do ultimately like to think that other than just trying
Speaker 1: to have fun, entertain you, entertain myself as we entertain
Speaker 1: each other, really that we're promoting ideas that are good
Speaker 1: for good for America, good for humanity. Right, We're promoting
Speaker 1: what is true, what is good, what is right. That's
Speaker 1: actually if I could come up with you know, it's
Speaker 1: not a tagline. It's gonna sell a lot of soda,
Speaker 1: But that's what I try to do here in the
Speaker 1: Freedom Hunt Uh also known as the Buck Section Show.
Speaker 1: But I wish we could spend more time time on
Speaker 1: the substance of policy. The problem is right now the
Speaker 1: administration is so encumbered by all these different opposition efforts
Speaker 1: that there's not even much of a policy. There's not
Speaker 1: even much of a counter agenda to discuss. The agenda
Speaker 1: is get Trump, take him down, destroy him and this
Speaker 1: White House, bring in a you know, a huge Democrat
Speaker 1: counter revolution of sorts. That's it. There's there's no other
Speaker 1: strategy to speak of that that I've heard anything about,
Speaker 1: and I'm wondering if at some point they plan to
Speaker 1: change that. In the meantime, so Caputo is saying, I
Speaker 1: think it's absolutely right. They're trying to They're trying to
Speaker 1: use Trump as an example for anyone else and make
Speaker 1: him so toxic that even people who believe thoroughly in
Speaker 1: Trump is m are concerned for their own well being. Right.
Speaker 1: You don't want to be you want to be the
Speaker 1: guy who goes and then the media look at look
Speaker 1: what they did. You want to get Ronnie Jackson? Do
Speaker 1: you want to get Ronnie Jackson? Because we saw what
Speaker 1: that was guys. Uh, you know what a rear admiral
Speaker 1: or vice admiral p PhD, m D served honorably for
Speaker 1: years and years numerous presidents. They just just smeared him,
Speaker 1: just slimed him. Do you think any of the journalists
Speaker 1: that ran their stories, by the way, lose a night's sleep?
Speaker 1: And no, they think that points on the board another
Speaker 1: another person tied to Trump that Trump likes gone. Everyone
Speaker 1: now becomes a target. Any journalist. I see this from
Speaker 1: my own vantage point, anyone that speaks out forcefully against Trump.
Speaker 1: You don't you don't need me to name the names.
Speaker 1: You know who they are. They're doing everything they can. Oh,
Speaker 1: I've heard a rumor that person has investments. Good heavens,
Speaker 1: he's a capitalist. Somebody hold the own. Stop the presses.
Speaker 1: They're just they'll but they'll anything that they can try
Speaker 1: to do, any narrative they can spend to take people down.
Speaker 1: And this is true even I forget about just what
Speaker 1: the media. It's it's true within the government itself. And
Speaker 1: I don't even mean just the Mueller probe and all that.
Speaker 1: Look what the Senates doing, The Senate Democrats just sitting
Speaker 1: on nominees for senior posts. In the government that they's
Speaker 1: usually they can't get enough government employees going now, oh no,
Speaker 1: we can't. I can't allow that delay, delay, delay. That's there.
Speaker 1: That's their whole program here, you know, and and it's
Speaker 1: all done in bad faith. Fifteen months into his presidency,
Speaker 1: this is in the daily signal fifteen months into his
Speaker 1: presidency of Trump's nominees await any Senate action. At the
Speaker 1: end of April, in his second year in office, up
Speaker 1: had a hundred and nineteen fewer executive branch nominees confirmed
Speaker 1: by the Senate, then the lowest score of the past
Speaker 1: four presidents, going back to President George H. W. Bush
Speaker 1: in n talking about thirty years. Here, folks, the the
Speaker 1: the slowest Senate confirmation rate for senior government appointees in
Speaker 1: thirty years. That's not an accident. We know this, right,
Speaker 1: we know. You know at some point you could take this.
Speaker 1: It's a very a Lynsky eight approach to the government.
Speaker 1: You know, if it's not enough for you to this
Speaker 1: is a classic Lynskey thing. Okay, Well, if you if
Speaker 1: you don't have enough people to do a sit in
Speaker 1: at a restaurant or or you know, at some public facility,
Speaker 1: just sit in their bathrooms, all of them. Don't let
Speaker 1: anyone else to use them. That'll get everyone's attention, right
Speaker 1: come up the works. Engage in whatever bad faith sabotage
Speaker 1: you can right now. The Democrats Humor, Pelosi, Muller, all
Speaker 1: of it. They're doing a bad faith sabotage of the
Speaker 1: White House and of the presidency because they can't win
Speaker 1: on the merits. They tried, right with Hillary. They tried,
Speaker 1: but they couldn't. Even the security clearance process, we're being
Speaker 1: told now security clearance process, according to a piece in
Speaker 1: the Washington Times, is being used as a as a
Speaker 1: tool against Trump. Keep in mind that a lot there's
Speaker 1: a lot of discretion, a lot of I know people
Speaker 1: who have done investigations for the government, a lot of
Speaker 1: well does this person get a clearance? Is that person
Speaker 1: get a clearance? Judgment call somehow, All the judgment calls
Speaker 1: in the federal government from the FBI, director of the
Speaker 1: Attorney General on down always seemed to go against Trump.
Speaker 1: It's not an accident and it's not a coincidence. Eight
Speaker 1: four four nine, eight two five. Will take some calls
Speaker 1: after this break, Stay with me. Coming up next hour.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna address the possibility of a prisoner release by
Speaker 1: North Korea because of Trump. Not much of a media
Speaker 1: and much media attention on that, huh uh. And also
Speaker 1: I might have some more on Charlie Rose, the crusty
Speaker 1: Paul uh interesting news about CBS, all these networks that
Speaker 1: were all about me too, Not so much. But let's
Speaker 1: take some calls here, Jesse and Louisiana. Hey, Jesse, everybody,
Speaker 1: what's going on? I'm good man, thank you for your call.
Speaker 1: I gotta ask you this in all serious seriousness. Now
Speaker 1: you talk to me a bunch of times, and you
Speaker 1: always seem to be pretty serious with me, But this
Speaker 1: is a serious question. I need a serious answer. What
Speaker 1: what do you think they've got on Jeff Sessions. It's
Speaker 1: got him sitting on his hands like this. I mean,
Speaker 1: we own the House, we own the Senate, we own
Speaker 1: the White House, Yet they control the narrative. They're the
Speaker 1: ones running with the ball no matter what direction the
Speaker 1: ball goes. I just think that Sessions. I think that
Speaker 1: Sessions is uh. I think he's kind of a boy scout.
Speaker 1: I don't think that he understands or I don't. I
Speaker 1: think if he could go back, maybe he would take
Speaker 1: a different approach to this whole special counsel thing. But
Speaker 1: I think he figured, well, you know, this is the
Speaker 1: process and I should procuse myself and you know, so
Speaker 1: I think he made a mistake, but I don't think
Speaker 1: it's out of bad intentions. So I don't think they've
Speaker 1: got anything on him, because why sit and be in
Speaker 1: the position he's in. Right, He's kinda he's in a
Speaker 1: rough spot. Well, yeah, I agree he's in a rough spot.
Speaker 1: But I mean, I hate to say it this way,
Speaker 1: but you know, I'm a political idiot. I just really
Speaker 1: started tuning into this whole presidency when Trump ran. Before that,
Speaker 1: I could care less. I voted Republican. But Jeff's been
Speaker 1: doing this for years and years and years, and he
Speaker 1: knows the ram knows the ramifications of what's going on,
Speaker 1: and he proclaims himself to be US trunk supporter. Now,
Speaker 1: I know he should have been prepared. He he knows
Speaker 1: he should have been prepared for the fight. I just
Speaker 1: think he made a mistake. But Jesse Shields high. Thanks
Speaker 1: for calling Louisiana Jason in Phoenix. Good to have you serve.
Speaker 1: We got about a minute. Hey she'll die, But um,
Speaker 1: my question is Um, what under the treason laws couldn't
Speaker 1: Trump set here and use the Marines to go against
Speaker 1: all enemies foreign and domestic. These people are like completely
Speaker 1: going there undermining the constitution. This isn't freedom of speech,
Speaker 1: it's just propaganda. And well they're using there, but they're weaponizing.
Speaker 1: You're kind of asking how he can use the system
Speaker 1: to fight back in this case, in that case the military,
Speaker 1: but they're weaponizing the the legal system and the bureaucracy
Speaker 1: against the administration. So um, but Jason Shield time and
Speaker 1: thank you for your call. Sorry it was quick, but
Speaker 1: I want to get you in before we move for
Speaker 1: the next hour here. Uh, team, we have much more
Speaker 1: coming up, including the possibility of a prisoner release with
Speaker 1: North Korea. I'll get to that. And also, if I can,
Speaker 1: we have time one of the stranger political linds I've
Speaker 1: seen in a while. What's that? Well, hang out and
Speaker 1: you'll see, man, it's hot and swampy down here in
Speaker 1: the swamp d C. It is not just a heat,
Speaker 1: but it is the opposite of a dry heat here.
Speaker 1: As you know, our founding fathers decided to situate our
Speaker 1: capital on what is in fact literally a swamp, and
Speaker 1: so when I'm trying to cool off and chill out
Speaker 1: at the end of a long day in the office
Speaker 1: or just kicking back and relaxing over the weekend, I
Speaker 1: reach for G four Tequila. G four stands for fourth generation.
Speaker 1: This is a tequila that is crafted by those who
Speaker 1: are master distillers, multi generational, and very very much into
Speaker 1: making the best product possible. So I'm even called Phelipe

Speaker 1: tequila industry. You've got to check out this tequila for yourself.

Speaker 1: Sexton Permission Decoding the news and disseminating information with actionable
Speaker 1: intelligence magnor mistake American Ready rank, You're a great American again.
Speaker 1: This is the Buck Sexton Show, Tom CIA Analysts is
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton? No Hello up on you said on March seven, Uh,
Speaker 1: there was no knowledge of any changes from the president,
Speaker 1: and he's denied all of these allegations. Were you lying
Speaker 1: to us at the time or were you in the dark?
Speaker 1: The President has denied and continues to deny the underlying
Speaker 1: claim and again, and I've given the best information that
Speaker 1: I had at the time. And I'm referring you back
Speaker 1: to the comments that you yourself just mentioned a few
Speaker 1: minutes ago about the timeline for Mayor Julie. When the
Speaker 1: President so often says things that turn out not to
Speaker 1: be true, when the President of White House show what
Speaker 1: appears to be a blatant disregard for the truth, how
Speaker 1: for the American people to trust or believe what is
Speaker 1: set here, what is set by the president. We give
Speaker 1: the very best information that we have at the time.
Speaker 1: I do that every single day and will continue to
Speaker 1: do that every day under this position. You know, maybe
Speaker 1: if the media was a little less obsessed with Jason
Speaker 1: down the specifics of the Stormy Daniels story, which is,
Speaker 1: you know, they're they're they're all in a tizzy. I
Speaker 1: think a good way to describe them right now, because
Speaker 1: ru Giuliani last night said that Trump paid back the
Speaker 1: dollars Trump paid a hundred thirty thousand dollars to Michael
Speaker 1: Cohen who paid hush money. Now, guys were all adults here, right,
Speaker 1: Although if you have young ones listening, and I guess
Speaker 1: they're not technically adults, but we're all adults here. Do
Speaker 1: you by on her thirty thars for hush money if
Speaker 1: if nothing happened? I think we only know the answer
Speaker 1: for that, right, But then also, do I care who
Speaker 1: the President's left with ten years ago? No? No, does
Speaker 1: that mean that I change my view of what conduct
Speaker 1: is is ethical and gentlemanly in the world and and
Speaker 1: moral now? But it just means that we're dealing with
Speaker 1: an imperfect political world, my friends, and we are in
Speaker 1: the midst of a storm, and we have sides to pick.
Speaker 1: That's just the way it is. But if they spent
Speaker 1: a little less time focused on a little less time
Speaker 1: focused on the stormy Daniel story, maybe they wouldn't have
Speaker 1: some of the problems they do, Like the fake news
Speaker 1: that they reported on earlier today, which it was, by
Speaker 1: the way, fake news about Michael Cohen Poles. Who's puls
Speaker 1: your pulse? Who's Poles? That guy? Remember him? Lawyer that
Speaker 1: had his office rated by Mueller something that you usually
Speaker 1: expect or Okay, I'm sorry, it wasn't Muller Southern District
Speaker 1: of New York. It was outsourced by Mueller's special Council
Speaker 1: to the Southern District. The Southern District did the dirty
Speaker 1: work for Mueller. But usually you think they would raid
Speaker 1: the offices of a lawyer who was, you know, working
Speaker 1: for like a drug cartel and connecting the cartel with
Speaker 1: Hitman or something. Not someone who's known Trump a long
Speaker 1: time and and has to deal with and has dell
Speaker 1: with some of the uh specific in particular pitfalls of
Speaker 1: being a prominent person who has a colorful, a colorful
Speaker 1: social life. I guess we could say, um, but they
Speaker 1: said today they were poor at NBC News, big story,
Speaker 1: and I think, yeah, I've mentioned it, Cohen wire tapped,
Speaker 1: and this would have gone under the police state tactics
Speaker 1: that I've been talking about. Cohen wire tapped. Um, Well,
Speaker 1: it turns out that was false. It turns out that
Speaker 1: the the the intrepid journalists over to NBC have had
Speaker 1: to issue a correction on that one. They don't know
Speaker 1: if it is a phone was wire tapped. But what
Speaker 1: I think is so interesting about that story is that
Speaker 1: they had there was not a hint of outrage. There
Speaker 1: was glee. It was the opposite of outrage. There was
Speaker 1: glee from the media over the idea that Trump, or
Speaker 1: rather that Trump's lawyer Cohen, may have had his phone
Speaker 1: call or phone calls to the White House actively monitored
Speaker 1: under reveillance, just the same way that when Cohen's a
Speaker 1: client privilege was essentially I don't care. People are gonna say, oh, Buck,
Speaker 1: they have a separate they have a clean team, and
Speaker 1: all that. That's crap. It was the attorney client privilege
Speaker 1: was annihilated, and that was the purpose of it. Trust me,
Speaker 1: you can't the clean team. This is like, it's like
Speaker 1: self grading a math test. Okay. You know, I remember
Speaker 1: being in a class where the teacher was like, okay,
Speaker 1: we're all gonna grade each other's tests, and you just
Speaker 1: made sure your buddy had either your test or you
Speaker 1: had your own test when they shuffled them around and
Speaker 1: you get to self grade, all of a sudden, my
Speaker 1: math skills were probably a lot better. Right, Let's be real.
Speaker 1: That's what the FBI is doing here. They're they're self
Speaker 1: grading their tests. Um, that's ah, that's what I see
Speaker 1: happening here. But we we we do have to talk
Speaker 1: a little bit about so any the Cohen story was false,
Speaker 1: was not real. But you see the media once again,
Speaker 1: they have no that they don't care about civil liberties,
Speaker 1: they don't care about individual rights, that don't care and
Speaker 1: none of that that that's all out the window if
Speaker 1: it hurts Trump. And the Cohen story is another instance
Speaker 1: of that. I've never seen people so excited about the
Speaker 1: prospect of ruining a lawyer's life because of a what
Speaker 1: is at best and arguable it's not even clear cut
Speaker 1: an arguable campaign contribution. But it goes to my This
Speaker 1: goes into my thesis of just like campuses, just like media,
Speaker 1: just like newsrooms. Uh, the left has infiltrated the virus
Speaker 1: of progressivism has spread so far and so deep in
Speaker 1: many American institutions that we got big problems, including the
Speaker 1: prosecutor's offices. Now because conservative prosecutors and I have friends
Speaker 1: who are prosecutors, are conservative. They're like the laws, the law,
Speaker 1: this is about justice. Progressive prosecutors are like, oh man,
Speaker 1: will this make Rachel Maddow happy? I should press charges
Speaker 1: against this guy? Is this gonna get me a high five?
Speaker 1: For Manniston, Cooper, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi? Sweet, let's really
Speaker 1: make an example of whoever this is. That's how that's
Speaker 1: how this works. That's how they're that's how they play
Speaker 1: the game, and it's uh, it's troubling to see it
Speaker 1: play out time and again. They're going after they are
Speaker 1: excited at the prospect of getting someone for a campaign finance.
Speaker 1: Look what they did with Thenesta SUSA. Similar cases, similar cases,
Speaker 1: way more lenient. But you know, he's a conservative critic
Speaker 1: of Obama made a lot of money making some very
Speaker 1: impactful people. Get mad when when we know people say
Speaker 1: it's not really a word or to use wrong whatever, powerful?
Speaker 1: How about that some powerful movies article of Obama? And
Speaker 1: then when it when it came time to see if
Speaker 1: he got the benefit of the doubt from the Oh
Speaker 1: that's right, the southern district of New York. What a surprise.
Speaker 1: The answer was no, No, he did not get the
Speaker 1: benefit of the doubt. But this then brings me to
Speaker 1: the the the takeaways from I know you may have
Speaker 1: heard some of the Giuliana stuff and all day, and
Speaker 1: I make a point on this show of talking about
Speaker 1: things that you don't hear elsewhere, right, But sometimes you know,
Speaker 1: when there's a news story that's so big, even if
Speaker 1: you might have spent a little time or elsewhere, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna talk to you about it, but keep
Speaker 1: in mind, I do a different this is the this
Speaker 1: is Buck style, so that's always gonna be a little
Speaker 1: a little bit of a uh spicy spinoff of whatever
Speaker 1: else you've heard. Maybe I'll get time. No, no, I
Speaker 1: was about to go down a completely separate rabbit hole,
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna hold off on that. I'm gonna hold
Speaker 1: off on that. I got a bunch of them. I've
Speaker 1: got like ten stories in my head that I want
Speaker 1: to talk to you about in this hour, and I
Speaker 1: feel like I'm only gonna get to two or three
Speaker 1: of them, which is why we're gonna start doing an
Speaker 1: additional weekly like what else I needed to talk to
Speaker 1: you about? Podcast, by the way, one of my fun
Speaker 1: things to announce to you. Yeah, and I got an
Speaker 1: even bigger announcement coming next week. Those of you who
Speaker 1: missed the Buck from the Real News days on the
Speaker 1: Blaze TV, guess what something's coming. That's That's as much
Speaker 1: of a of a hint as I can give you
Speaker 1: right now. But Giuliani, Uh, I know America's mayor lots
Speaker 1: of good stuff about the guy, but also I think
Speaker 1: you know he's he's been in uh private practice, making
Speaker 1: a lot of money as a consultant for a long time,
Speaker 1: and and political candidate himself. I know he's close with Trump.
Speaker 1: I think he's got a lot. It brings a lot
Speaker 1: of attributes to the table that are good for the president.
Speaker 1: I think he's got the President's back on a number
Speaker 1: of things. But I'm gonna walk you through some of
Speaker 1: his statements last night as to what it means now
Speaker 1: for where the anti Trump resistance is gonna go, how
Speaker 1: they're gonna use this, and what let's try to war
Speaker 1: game out what the Trump haters are planning not yesterday,
Speaker 1: but next week and next month, because I think we
Speaker 1: I think we have some sense of that based on
Speaker 1: the reactions to the Giuliana interview on on our our
Speaker 1: dear friend Shawn Hannity's show last night. So we will
Speaker 1: get into that and much more. And then if there's
Speaker 1: this political ad that it's for a guy who's not
Speaker 1: gonna win, but it's like the craziest political ad I've
Speaker 1: seen quite a while, five time will do that, and uh,
Speaker 1: what do I think about that? What do the things
Speaker 1: the chances are of a North Korea releasing a few
Speaker 1: Americans held in custody. Are rich parents using doctors to
Speaker 1: cheat on standardized tests? Answers? Yes, Uh, these are all
Speaker 1: things I want to talk to you about this hour.
Speaker 1: So we've gotta we've gotta packed next couple of segments here,
Speaker 1: stay right there, welcome back. I'll tell you about our
Speaker 1: sponsor this half hour. Every business has to hire people,
Speaker 1: But how do you know who you're getting? How can
Speaker 1: you know if you can trust the people that are
Speaker 1: showing up and presenting themselves with a certain background, skill
Speaker 1: set and of course a completely clean record, no bankruptcies,
Speaker 1: no issues that they're hiding from you. Well, guess what,
Speaker 1: you can't know unless you have the right people looking
Speaker 1: into it. That is where Global Verification Network comes in.
Speaker 1: Global Verifications the only dual certified, veteran owned background investigation
Speaker 1: and vetting company. Now they work with startups all the
Speaker 1: way up to fortune. So whether you're small business or
Speaker 1: a huge business, these are the guys and gals you
Speaker 1: want looking in to any background investigations you have to
Speaker 1: have done. They're all headquartered here in the States, and
Speaker 1: they don't offshore your data ever, It's all kept here.
Speaker 1: Go to my GVN dot com. Um, that's my g
Speaker 1: VN dot com or call eight seven seven six nine
Speaker 1: five nine Global Verification Network. So I mentioned the the
Speaker 1: Julianna of you last night. I think some of the
Speaker 1: most interesting stuff. Well, first off, I mean he went
Speaker 1: full on after Comey, and I've been I've been saying
Speaker 1: that Trump needs to go on offenses. People need to
Speaker 1: go on offense. They cannot let the other side dominate
Speaker 1: the narrative because we are in a the Mueller probe
Speaker 1: is really a narrative battle. Uh so uh play clip
Speaker 1: play two and three. I know James Comey, I know
Speaker 1: the President. Sorry, Jim, You're a liar, a disgraceful liar.
Speaker 1: Every FBI agent in America has his head down because
Speaker 1: he called me should be prosecuted for leaking uh confidential
Speaker 1: FBI information when he leaked his report intended to develop
Speaker 1: a special prosecutor for the President of the United States.
Speaker 1: I have never ever turned over a doctor. You know me,
Speaker 1: Sean you know me wants a charity. Uh A lot
Speaker 1: of allegations to my mom. Never leaked a damn thing.
Speaker 1: I would have considered resigning if I ever did that.
Speaker 1: I worked for the CIA, I worked for the NYPD
Speaker 1: in talence division. As you know, not only have I
Speaker 1: never leaked any documents, I never even considered leaking documents,
Speaker 1: including documents that we're not necessarily uh legally protected, but
Speaker 1: that were you know, administrative use, or that were you know,
Speaker 1: an internal right. You know, I wouldn't have done that.
Speaker 1: It just would have never occurred to me to do that.
Speaker 1: I would have found it unethical, would have thought it
Speaker 1: was wrong to do that, and to use access to
Speaker 1: the President of the United States when you are the
Speaker 1: FBI director, to further a personal vendetta, as I've been.
Speaker 1: I think this is one thing that gets skipped over
Speaker 1: so much. Of course media doesn't want to touch this.
Speaker 1: But if the President can't have a conversation with the
Speaker 1: FBI director that he doesn't think is literally going to
Speaker 1: be leaked to the New York Times, how can he
Speaker 1: have any faith in the in his conversations with the FBI.
Speaker 1: How can he have any faith that any member of
Speaker 1: the senior member of the administration is on the up
Speaker 1: and up. These people talking about defending our institutions. So
Speaker 1: the Republic is under assault because of trump fascisms coming
Speaker 1: to America. No, it's not. But you want to talk
Speaker 1: about institutions and the damage being done. Uh, they're doing
Speaker 1: thermonuclear level damage to the trust that the president can
Speaker 1: put in those around them. And he really, like I said,
Speaker 1: this is not about the Agriculture Department, Okay, is not
Speaker 1: the Department of the Interior. The president needs people to talk.
Speaker 1: The FBI director talk, the CIA director talked to Director
Speaker 1: of National Intelligence, you know, people like Comey Brennan Clapper.
Speaker 1: He needs to be able to speak to those kinds
Speaker 1: of folks and not feel like, uh, is this gonna
Speaker 1: end up on MSNBC later? Does anyone think that that
Speaker 1: would be interrational thought for a president to have at
Speaker 1: this point? I think no, we all know why that
Speaker 1: concern is is very real. But here's what got everybody all,
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. I was actually last night. I was
Speaker 1: trying to have a kind of have a quiet night
Speaker 1: down here in d C. I don't kick back and
Speaker 1: relax a little bit, you know, turn off my jets,
Speaker 1: go back to neutral. And this is what got everyone
Speaker 1: all crazy. Place seven having something to do with paying
Speaker 1: some Stormy Daniels woman a hundred and thirties thousand, I mean,
Speaker 1: which is going to turn out to be perfectly legal.
Speaker 1: That money was not campaign money. Sorry, I'm giving you
Speaker 1: a fact now that you don't know. It's not campaign money.
Speaker 1: No MH campaign finance violation. So they funneled it through
Speaker 1: the law firm, funnel through law firm, and the president
Speaker 1: repaid it. So do you do you think that we're
Speaker 1: going to hear more? Um? Do you think that we're
Speaker 1: gonna hear more about this after it it has found
Speaker 1: that it's not actually illegal. Why are they even making
Speaker 1: the claim that it's illegal. Let's understand this because they
Speaker 1: have to think about this. If the payment to storemy
Speaker 1: Daniels is not illegal, what justification can there be for
Speaker 1: violating the president's well, the president's relationship and the attorney
Speaker 1: client privilege that attaches for for Trump and Cohen. So
Speaker 1: that's why they have to use this flimsy pretext. It
Speaker 1: is a pretext. Giuliani knows this. Look, Rudy Giuliani. I
Speaker 1: will say this for the guy. He knows. He knows
Speaker 1: how this game has played. He he was a brass
Speaker 1: knuckle wearing prosecutor back in the day. You know, he
Speaker 1: came from the you know, the the Scottish Alleyway brawl
Speaker 1: school of how to get things done as a prosecutor,
Speaker 1: and now he was going after the mob. So it
Speaker 1: was great, right, take all those guys down. But he
Speaker 1: hasn't played in games. He understands how to use leverage,
Speaker 1: and he knows how the other side is going to
Speaker 1: do that now too. So you know that that was
Speaker 1: an important, important part of us. But then also the
Speaker 1: left is gonna call this what about is hum but
Speaker 1: I would just say it's it's being rational. I mean,
Speaker 1: he was saying that all of what we're seeing now,
Speaker 1: all these legal processes that are being used, that are
Speaker 1: being weaponized against the president United States, we're not just
Speaker 1: turned off when it comes to Hillary Clinton. They went
Speaker 1: in the opposite direction. It's not that they didn't they
Speaker 1: didn't aggressively prosecutor. They aggressively work to not prosecutor. But
Speaker 1: they actually rewrote the law. They're not prosecutor. That's what
Speaker 1: Comby did. And Juliani understands this, and he and he
Speaker 1: got into this a little bit play eight and then
Speaker 1: nine thirteen crimes she committed. And when we got up
Speaker 1: to about eighteen, I'm sorry, Hillary, I know you're very
Speaker 1: disappointed to win that you're a criminal. Equal justice would
Speaker 1: mean you should go to jail. Uh the I do
Speaker 1: not know why the Justice Department is not investigating you.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna have my client, my president, my friend,
Speaker 1: and a president has achieved more in a year and
Speaker 1: a half, against all odds, than anyone had a right
Speaker 1: to expect. I'm not gonna let him he treated worse
Speaker 1: than Bill Clinton, who definitely was a liar under oath.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna let him. He's being treated much worse
Speaker 1: and Hillary Clinton, who had no right to any of
Speaker 1: that stuff. So I'm not gonna let him be treated
Speaker 1: worse than Hillary Clinton. I think Jay and I will
Speaker 1: insist that they're gonna have to treat him the same
Speaker 1: way as Clinton. Two and a half hours we end,
Speaker 1: we walk out. Now, I hope that they don't actually
Speaker 1: I I they should force a subpoena or they're rather
Speaker 1: they should force testimony by the president. He should not
Speaker 1: willingly submit to an interrogation by Mueller, because it it
Speaker 1: really in a sense, Look, this is just my understand
Speaker 1: that a lot of this comes out of interpretation. We're
Speaker 1: an uncharted territory here. People say it is this or
Speaker 1: it is that. It's their opinion of this or that,
Speaker 1: because who knows how some of this is gonna shake out,
Speaker 1: But do they do they have grounds to issue a
Speaker 1: subpoena of the President short I think it's it's the
Speaker 1: fair or right thing for them to, of course not,
Speaker 1: and I think Trump needs to fight them every step
Speaker 1: the way that at least my approach on this eight
Speaker 1: four to five team will be back in just a
Speaker 1: few He's back with you now, because when it comes
Speaker 1: to the fight for truth, the fuck never stops. I'd
Speaker 1: like to tell you good news when I can, and
Speaker 1: I I don't. I don't have much more detail on
Speaker 1: this because I haven't seen the show yet, but I
Speaker 1: am seeing here reporting that indicates that Last Man Standing
Speaker 1: with Tim Allen is in fact gonna make a comeback.
Speaker 1: They're gonna They're gonna have new seasons of it. So
Speaker 1: many of you who have been sending me your thoughts
Speaker 1: about shows that I should watch, I appreciate that, by
Speaker 1: the way, uh, but I have not yet gotten the
Speaker 1: Last Man Standing. But looks like not only can I
Speaker 1: go watch the old episodes, but I'll watched the new ones. Gosh,
Speaker 1: you mean maybe a a comedian and a comedy show
Speaker 1: that isn't jamming the progressive agenda on everyone's throats and
Speaker 1: takes a point of view that people who don't live
Speaker 1: in deep blue parts of the country can appreciate that
Speaker 1: might be a successful business model. Oh my gosh, it
Speaker 1: just seems crazy. I gotta think it's the weather. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna uh this weekend. I'm heading back up in New York.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have some time on the train, so I'll
Speaker 1: give myself a a little bit of time to watch
Speaker 1: something i'd like to I'd like to think. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I can watch The Terror because
Speaker 1: maybe you can't download it yet. I'm not I'm not
Speaker 1: done with The Terror, but yeah, I feel like I
Speaker 1: kind of know what's going on. It's oh AMC on demand, John,
Speaker 1: I can do that, Okay, So yeah, maybe I will
Speaker 1: be able to do that if you look. It's a
Speaker 1: lot of like Bill Captain, it's so cold out there.
Speaker 1: I can't go out because there's polar bears and it's
Speaker 1: like really cold. Son, It's all right, it's for it's
Speaker 1: for mothering, and just go and we will discover a
Speaker 1: great thing. But I'm a lot so cold, I can't
Speaker 1: do it, and there's polar bears and they'll eat my
Speaker 1: face and I can't, you know, and my teeth the chattering,
Speaker 1: and my knees a Shai kings. Those of you have
Speaker 1: haven't seen the Terror, I have no idea. It's it's
Speaker 1: a show about trying to find the Northwest Passage through
Speaker 1: the northern Islands of Canada, the Arctic basically, and uh,
Speaker 1: it's cold up there, but it's just a lot. It's
Speaker 1: a lot of like snow. It's a lot of a
Speaker 1: lot of pasty British dudes who were cold all the
Speaker 1: time because it's snowing, and uh, they're there so far,
Speaker 1: I've just haven't seen a lot beyond that. I thought
Speaker 1: there was actually gonna be like a sci fi component
Speaker 1: of it. Maybe they should bring that in. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm getting to the point where if they made
Speaker 1: some aliens land somewhere, I'd be like, well, I'll give
Speaker 1: it a few more episodes because otherwise, like I said,
Speaker 1: it's but I just want a sport tea before I
Speaker 1: go out onto the tundra. It's so cold. Oh, look
Speaker 1: at ice bag. It's like a block of ice, but
Speaker 1: it's really large. Daniel in Missouri, save me from this nonsense.
Speaker 1: What's going on, sir? I'm good man, thank you for
Speaker 1: the call. I got away that that Trump can hand
Speaker 1: all this. You can tell me it was right or not.
Speaker 1: And national health. He needs to go on national television
Speaker 1: and do sort of a disstressed that address them down country.
Speaker 1: Two less of mains, one miss More and his team,
Speaker 1: and one with everyone with fo charged or not charged
Speaker 1: with something that's been investigated. Pardon every one of them
Speaker 1: on one list, including himself, and all of this becaution
Speaker 1: fire the other people get car intreates back to the
Speaker 1: people that have been bankrupt, and then get at the
Speaker 1: point all of this Dominees said, they're just sitting on
Speaker 1: their hands, thought, well, I can say that my understanding,
Speaker 1: uh is that the president probably couldn't pardon himself. But
Speaker 1: keep in mind, these are opinions, right, These are not
Speaker 1: These are not hardened festivals. No one's ever tried. But
Speaker 1: you're right about pardoning everybody else. And keep in mind
Speaker 1: that Clinton pardoned Mark Rich, who wasn't somebody who had
Speaker 1: been convicted. Mark Rich was a fugitive from justice who,
Speaker 1: by the way, was pardoned by Clinton because Hillary and
Speaker 1: the d n C wanted money from Rich's wife, who
Speaker 1: was a big donor to the Democrat party. Side note,
Speaker 1: but he was a fugitive from justice and they pardoned him,
Speaker 1: so you could also have a a preemptive pardon to
Speaker 1: be sure. Uh and and so yeah, he could pardon
Speaker 1: these people. I do believe he should pardon General Flynn.
Speaker 1: I say, go for it. I think it's I think
Speaker 1: it's a complete garbage case. I think it's nonsense. You know,
Speaker 1: I don't know if you I mean man of for
Speaker 1: Manna for it might have been like hiding a lot
Speaker 1: of money from the I R S for all I know.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised. Who else you know, that guy
Speaker 1: Alex von Schmergeenbergen, whatever the guy's name is, from the UK.
Speaker 1: I think he got like thirty days, so I don't
Speaker 1: think a pardon really is necessary for him. Um and
Speaker 1: then but yeah, I mean you're talking about the other
Speaker 1: White House of well Cohen obviously, But keep in mind,
Speaker 1: if they try to get Cohing on some state charges,
Speaker 1: a presidential pardon would not undo that, so they'll they'll
Speaker 1: still try to get Cohen one way or the other.
Speaker 1: Thank you for calling in Daniel. By the way, I
Speaker 1: do appreciate it. Uh, I'm all in favor of I
Speaker 1: think the president needs to flex some muscles here and
Speaker 1: and get after it in a whole bunch of ways.
Speaker 1: I want declassification of all this stuff around the dossier.
Speaker 1: I want to know more about the fies A warrants.
Speaker 1: I want to I want a lot of it out there,
Speaker 1: booces and methods. I know a lot about sources and methods.
Speaker 1: I actually had to deal with him from for a living, okay,
Speaker 1: and a lot of times when you're looking at it,
Speaker 1: they air the side of caution. They could redact names
Speaker 1: as necessary, but they redacted way too much information from
Speaker 1: what has already been released. In my by the way
Speaker 1: I saw this, Mike and John important, I am h.
Speaker 1: O means what the acronym? Mike? You first, what does
Speaker 1: it mean? I am h oh? What is it? What?
Speaker 1: What does it mean? The acronym when people write capital
Speaker 1: I A H or it doesn't have the capital just
Speaker 1: I am h. I would love to tell you, but
Speaker 1: but John just blurted it out. So no, no, no,
Speaker 1: because there's there's two. There's two, there's two acceptable answers, John,
Speaker 1: what do you think it is? In my humble opinion.
Speaker 1: Do you agree with him, Mike, do you agree this
Speaker 1: is a real question? Do you agree that I am
Speaker 1: h O means in my humble opinion. I don't know
Speaker 1: why I can't get an answer from Mike. Is this
Speaker 1: is not a trick question? Okay, No, I agree, I
Speaker 1: totally agree. Yeah, he's, he's, he's he's laughing up there.
Speaker 1: I know what's going I know you two. You two
Speaker 1: are having a party up in New York when I'm
Speaker 1: down here in the swamp. I know what's happening. That
Speaker 1: G four is only for after the show, gentlemen, but no, seriously,
Speaker 1: the the there's an online poll right now that is
Speaker 1: saying that I think half of people BuzzFeed put this
Speaker 1: out there. I think it's in my honest opinion. Now
Speaker 1: are these people savages? I don't know. I leave that
Speaker 1: to you, but I've always I'm with you, guys in
Speaker 1: my humble opinion, I am HO. But people are out
Speaker 1: there saying that it's in my honest opinion, and I
Speaker 1: just think that, yeah, this is not nom there are rules, right,
Speaker 1: like that's crazy, but but this is what people are saying.
Speaker 1: You guys can all go see it yourself. It's on BuzzFeed.
Speaker 1: They're they're just trying to change the English language as
Speaker 1: we know it. And uh, and I will I will
Speaker 1: not stand for it. I will not abide. The dude
Speaker 1: does not abide. I'll give you that. So Okay, back
Speaker 1: to pardons and U and all the rest died here. Um.
Speaker 1: I think that they should pardon Flynn. I think that
Speaker 1: they should, um make sure that as much information as
Speaker 1: possible as out there because this this is as much
Speaker 1: a narrative fight as it is anything else. Which one
Speaker 1: other thing, and this is kind of a mulligan from
Speaker 1: the last hour. I meant to get to what we
Speaker 1: think of as the as the parameters of the Mueller investigation.
Speaker 1: Actually turns out it was just a fraction of the
Speaker 1: Mueller investigation. Um, they've redacted a lot more of what
Speaker 1: it is. But in Rosenstein's in Rosenstein's um memo last August,
Speaker 1: that outlined the scope of this whole thing. Uh, the
Speaker 1: there was and there was a public consumption version, and
Speaker 1: then there was a real version. And we don't get
Speaker 1: to see the real version. So think about that for
Speaker 1: a moment. Right, we think we know what rose in
Speaker 1: Stein authorized mother to look at, but this is reporting
Speaker 1: from Byron York over the Washington Examiner. Now we don't know,
Speaker 1: actually we don't know. It's redacted, So who knows where
Speaker 1: that's gonna stop. At the start? Oh, I I would
Speaker 1: really I would really like to see the president. Look,
Speaker 1: I think he needs to throw his weight around on
Speaker 1: some of these issues, and he understands what kind of
Speaker 1: what kind of fight he's in, He understands what's going on.
Speaker 1: I will say, though, Giuliani last night, the comment about
Speaker 1: how Jared is disposable was was just weird. I do
Speaker 1: think that was weird, the senior putting aside that he's
Speaker 1: the President's son in law, senior White House advisor. We
Speaker 1: don't need to hear that, anyone says. I think Julian
Speaker 1: was being a little tongue in cheek, I get it,
Speaker 1: But the media jumped on that right away. I do
Speaker 1: think it's true though as well. If if they I
Speaker 1: think that there's a red line, not because the media
Speaker 1: is ethical or anything like that, because they're not. But
Speaker 1: I think they know that really going after Ivanka the
Speaker 1: way they've gone after other members of the administration. Um,
Speaker 1: I I they're not They're not there yet. They can't
Speaker 1: do it. Yet they don't. They don't have enough, whereas
Speaker 1: with other people, they manufacture the pretext to try to
Speaker 1: go after them. Right, the media will come up with
Speaker 1: some reason why. Prue It is the worst person ever,
Speaker 1: Ronnie Jackson is the worst person ever, Michael Cohen is
Speaker 1: the worst person ever. I mean, you can go to
Speaker 1: the whole list, right, you know the game they play.
Speaker 1: I think they try that with Ivanka and it would
Speaker 1: backfire on them. So I agree with Giuliani in his
Speaker 1: assessment of that. Um, because Ivanka has in this administration,
Speaker 1: even among a lot of Democrats and l sale, she's
Speaker 1: you know, she's considered a voice of reason and obviously
Speaker 1: she's highly presentable and very articulate. Um, there would be
Speaker 1: a there would be uh, there'd be an outcry there,
Speaker 1: I think. But it's just weird. Yeah, you know, Jarry's disposable.
Speaker 1: I was like, whoa, Julianni, slow your role. I think
Speaker 1: I'll get to the North Korea. Oh oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: this this political campaign out of West Virginia. I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna lie to you. I'm not paying that I wasn't paying.
Speaker 1: I will have to start paying closer attention now that
Speaker 1: I'm a swamp dweller who's covering a lot more in
Speaker 1: the way of politics. Uh, you know, up close and personal.
Speaker 1: There's this race in West Virginia. I think it's uh
Speaker 1: there at least three candidates and the guy who's in third.
Speaker 1: I'll give you some details on we come back. The
Speaker 1: guy's in third has an ad out there that I
Speaker 1: just it's it's wow, it's wow. If you want details,
Speaker 1: you have to stay with me and I'll be right back.
Speaker 1: What the heck is going on in the West Virginia primary, folks, Um?
Speaker 1: I wow? So this guy, uh, I mean Don Blankenship. Uh.
Speaker 1: He is a he was convicted for criminal negligence in
Speaker 1: a coal mining explosion that killed people. Good god. Uh.
Speaker 1: He's running for office for Senate no less in the
Speaker 1: state of West Virginia. And he put out this ad
Speaker 1: that is why a woe play it. I'm Don blank Ship,
Speaker 1: candidate for US Senate, and I approved this message. Swamp
Speaker 1: Captain Mitch McConnell has created millions of jobs for China people.
Speaker 1: While doing so, Mitch has gotten rich. In fact, his
Speaker 1: China family has given him tens of millions of dollars.
Speaker 1: Mitch's swamp people are now running false negative ads against me.
Speaker 1: They are also childishly calling me despicable, mentally ill. The
Speaker 1: ward to drain the swamp and create jobs for West
Speaker 1: Virginia people has begun that will beat Joe mentioned and
Speaker 1: ditch cocaine Mitch for the sake of the kids. What
Speaker 1: was that? Uh m hmm. First of all, is he
Speaker 1: saying and I have to quote him here, is he
Speaker 1: saying China people like intentionally to to kind of troll China?
Speaker 1: Or does he is that what he really thinks that
Speaker 1: we call people who are from China? Because he says
Speaker 1: it twice right, and he and he refers to Mitch
Speaker 1: McConnell's China family, which is also just I mean, this
Speaker 1: guy is this is a train wreck. Um. But then
Speaker 1: also at the end, what's with is? Do you guys
Speaker 1: know by the way, Mike John, what's with cop? What
Speaker 1: do you say? Cocaine Mitch or something? What was that?
Speaker 1: I Mike, you got anything on that? I'm I'm sitting
Speaker 1: here like what does that even? No, it's I think
Speaker 1: he came out of towards a reason for it. I
Speaker 1: can't recall, but he came out of like basically left
Speaker 1: field with it. Huh. Whoa. That was of of all
Speaker 1: the political ads I've seen it in a while, that
Speaker 1: was in the class by itself. Now this guy is
Speaker 1: he's third in that primary. I believe so, but but
Speaker 1: I don't think he's What if you guys might if
Speaker 1: you see me pulling on that real quick, give it
Speaker 1: to me, because I'm from what I understand, it's not
Speaker 1: a race. That's it's it's not like he's getting one
Speaker 1: percent of the vote or something. I think he's actually
Speaker 1: got some people voting for uh now swamp captain. I mean,
Speaker 1: there there were some things he said, but I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: that's gonna resonate, but the whole the China people anyway.
Speaker 1: And I also think it's a strange thing to to
Speaker 1: choose to vote for or someone who is a convicted
Speaker 1: of criminal negligence in a major workplace disaster that claimed
Speaker 1: a lot of lives. So but then again, I have
Speaker 1: a cocaine Mitch explanation for you if you want, Yeah,
Speaker 1: what's the cocaine Mitch explanation? I couldn't. I didn't even
Speaker 1: I want to be in on this, not a joke,
Speaker 1: but whatever it is, I want to understand what's he
Speaker 1: trying to say, as you mentioned, Mitch McConnell's family has
Speaker 1: ties to China. His father in law founded and owns
Speaker 1: a large Chinese shipping company, and the company was implicated
Speaker 1: recently in smuggling a cocaine smuggling from Columbia to Europe.
Speaker 1: So um, a little bit of a reach, but I
Speaker 1: think that's his explanation. Wow wow, okay, uh calling him
Speaker 1: cocaine Mitch, that is that was like of all of
Speaker 1: all the guys that I think in the in the Senate,
Speaker 1: maybe back in the eighties, because I'm sure there were
Speaker 1: a bunch, right if you've seen Charlie Wilson's War, uh
Speaker 1: you know, but of all the guys, Mitch McConnell will
Speaker 1: be very low on the list of guy that I
Speaker 1: could see getting a little too disco, if you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. I don't think that was mm hmm.
Speaker 1: Or I'm a I'm a beloover and having a party
Speaker 1: of were for dramas. Have a nice warm glass of
Speaker 1: milk and actually I party like Minch McConnell, I like
Speaker 1: putting on my pj's early a nice glass of milk,
Speaker 1: some chocolate. It would be it would be a cookie
Speaker 1: but now it's hard to find good gluten free cookies
Speaker 1: these days, so that was one of the crazier things. Um.
Speaker 1: I don't have much time on this one. I just
Speaker 1: want to get it in before we get to immigration,
Speaker 1: big topic next hour. And also the some of these
Speaker 1: planes that have gone down, military planes that have gone
Speaker 1: down in recent recent years, killed a lot of over
Speaker 1: a hundred service members, and there's a there's an explanation
Speaker 1: that I want you all to hear. We've got an
Speaker 1: expert aviation expert joining military aviation expert talk to us
Speaker 1: about that specifically. So that's all coming up in the
Speaker 1: next hour. Um. But but this, uh, I'll probably dig
Speaker 1: in it a little more tomorrow. It turns out that
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of folks at CBS where Charlie Rose worked,
Speaker 1: the Krusty Paul himself, they knew, they didn't care, they
Speaker 1: didn't do anything about it. True of all these big networks,
Speaker 1: by the way, that have these huge stars that are
Speaker 1: just grabbing it ladies and assaulting them left and right,
Speaker 1: everyone knows, but they are a bunch of greedy hacks
Speaker 1: and hypocrites, and they didn't do anything about it. So
Speaker 1: perhaps more time on that one up tomorrow. What's going
Speaker 1: on with immigration? The border is getting worse, folks, we
Speaker 1: gotta talk about it. Stay with me. You can have
Speaker 1: a great idea for a business, and you can even
Speaker 1: have the money, the capital you need to get it started,
Speaker 1: but if you don't have the people, you're just not
Speaker 1: gonna get it done. So you have to find the best.
Speaker 1: But how do you do that. You don't want to
Speaker 1: get delayed and you don't want to get beat out
Speaker 1: by your competitors. That's where zip recruiter comes in. Zip

Speaker 1: the news and disseminating information with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake, American,
Speaker 1: You're a great American Again. This is the buck Sexton Show.
Speaker 1: Analysts No, Welcome to our three of the buck Sexton Show.
Speaker 1: My friends, great to have you with the honor, privileging,
Speaker 1: pleasure of always. And I have been telling you, and gosh,
Speaker 1: I just I just hit my knees so hard on
Speaker 1: my desk here in the DC Freedom Hunt. And it
Speaker 1: was kind of the funny bone. But you know, it's
Speaker 1: weird about the funny Bone team. It's not funny. There's
Speaker 1: nothing funny about it. You hit that bone and all
Speaker 1: of a sudden you're like, oh and so, but the
Speaker 1: show must go on. So I'm just gonna be I'm
Speaker 1: gonna man up here. I think I just committed a microaggression.
Speaker 1: I'm going too, I'm going to have a stiff upper lip.
Speaker 1: That sounds so British, that doesn't it. I'm going to
Speaker 1: have a stiff upper lip. Hello, my lip is stiff
Speaker 1: and it is upper uh. And now I've killed enough.
Speaker 1: I've given myself enough time that I've recovered from my
Speaker 1: self inflicted wound here. I've been telling you immigration is
Speaker 1: going to react to the stories and the administration's posture. Right.
Speaker 1: You remember, there's always a wedge effect with illegal immigration.
Speaker 1: You get the first folks that get up to the
Speaker 1: border that are to claim a sign them if they
Speaker 1: get into the country, as we see with this caravan.
Speaker 1: Guess what others are going to follow behind them. That's
Speaker 1: why the size of the caravan was not that important.
Speaker 1: It was the media coverage, the fact that there was
Speaker 1: a focus on it, and the fact that the Trump
Speaker 1: administration had said, don't worry, we are not gonna let
Speaker 1: this happen, and it kind of happened. I know there's
Speaker 1: going to be some who are processed that are not
Speaker 1: allowed into the country, but they're going to be a
Speaker 1: whole lot of folks who are in fact going to
Speaker 1: stay under their asylum claims. And I think that the
Speaker 1: whole notion of asylum has been abused now right, We're
Speaker 1: being we're being taken advantage of. That's really one of
Speaker 1: the underlying truths of our entire migration system. And it
Speaker 1: and it affects you. It doesn't matter those of you
Speaker 1: are listening in Montana, by the way, here beautiful this
Speaker 1: time of year, great fly fishing. Uh. Wherever you are
Speaker 1: in the country, even if you have a very small
Speaker 1: all illegal immigrant population, the federal government is providing services
Speaker 1: and assistance. And because you know the Department Education, your
Speaker 1: local schools, e r s, hospitals, they're getting funding from
Speaker 1: the federal government. There's all kinds of ways that your
Speaker 1: tax dollars are propping up this system. You're subsidizing this illegality.
Speaker 1: So it affects you wherever you are. Right, just we
Speaker 1: see what's going on in California. We go to California
Speaker 1: is being so silly they can't they can't continue at
Speaker 1: this pace. Yeah, you know what's gonna happen. Eventually they're
Speaker 1: gonna want just more federal money and they're big enough
Speaker 1: and have enough political sway because of the enormous population
Speaker 1: of that state that the left wingers who run the
Speaker 1: state might actually get their way and more and more
Speaker 1: federal subsidies. That affects you wherever you are. But the
Speaker 1: thin wedge of the caravan has already gotten into country.
Speaker 1: You're gonna see more happening. But I see this in
Speaker 1: the Washington Times, and I just think to myself, I
Speaker 1: knew it, this is gonna happen. Here's the piece just
Speaker 1: from today. Illegal immigration across the Southwest border rose again
Speaker 1: in April, continuing a surge that has entirely erased President
Speaker 1: Trump's early gains and left officials in Washington struggling over answers.
Speaker 1: Nearly thirty nine thousand illegal immigrants were nabbed by the
Speaker 1: border patrol last month, according to preliminary numbers, and that's
Speaker 1: a staggering two hundred and thirty three increase over the
Speaker 1: same month a year ago. That is the biggest year
Speaker 1: over year increase in records dating back to the beginning
Speaker 1: of a decade. And quote, folks, the proof is in
Speaker 1: the pudding, or in this case, the proof is at
Speaker 1: the border. We east. We can't pretend these numbers aren't
Speaker 1: what they are, or these are coming right from Immigrations
Speaker 1: and Customs Enforcement and border patrol and the rhetoric of
Speaker 1: the Trump administration on this issue. You remember the first year,
Speaker 1: what happened, big drop in crossings. Why because Trump had
Speaker 1: promised there would be enforcement, there was gonna be a wall,
Speaker 1: and there was a new sheriff in town, so to speak.
Speaker 1: That was what Trump said was going to happen, and
Speaker 1: that had an effect on how many people tried to
Speaker 1: come into the country illegally. But wait a second, what
Speaker 1: what have we seen the last six months or so?
Speaker 1: And I know, you know it. It would be easier
Speaker 1: to sit here and just say maga and Trump's got
Speaker 1: everything under control, but we have not seen the follow
Speaker 1: through an immigration that is necessary for there to be
Speaker 1: any credible claim that Trump is actually getting this thing done. Okay,
Speaker 1: it hasn't happened yet, folks. You know what, and I
Speaker 1: know it. I don't think any of you do. I
Speaker 1: think I probably actually most of you are like yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, give Trump a break. They're trying
Speaker 1: to literally engage in a soft coup with the media
Speaker 1: and Muller and everything. And I get that. But I
Speaker 1: think a lot of your nodding your heads, like yeah, Buck,
Speaker 1: this is not what we were told we're gonna get.
Speaker 1: It's just not I can't sit you're in good conscience
Speaker 1: and you know, b s you for Buck Sexton. See
Speaker 1: what I did there. I can't do that. The administration
Speaker 1: has been talking about legalization for DOCCA, about expanding DOCCA,
Speaker 1: and to be fair, the Democrats have used the courts
Speaker 1: to completely expand even the executive decisions, the executive orders
Speaker 1: made by President Obama on behalf of illegals. So there's
Speaker 1: the the Democrats are playing a role in this surge,
Speaker 1: to make no mistake about it. But this is, you know,
Speaker 1: the way people look at the stock market as a
Speaker 1: barometer of confidence the economy, you know, and you can
Speaker 1: argue with that or not a lot of it's inflated
Speaker 1: asset prices, record low interest rates and artificially artificial interest rates.
Speaker 1: That's a whole other conversation. You can see. I get
Speaker 1: excited about these things. I'm a student to finance, uh
Speaker 1: these days. But we see the numbers at the border,
Speaker 1: and the numbers don't lie. You know. The illegal immigration
Speaker 1: is a scoreboard issue. What's the scoreboard say? You know,
Speaker 1: we can talk about how the refs, the refs weren't fair,
Speaker 1: the refs were paid off. What does the scoreboard say?
Speaker 1: And right now it says illegal immigration is surging under
Speaker 1: this president, with this administration. And this is a very
Speaker 1: very big deal because what it tells us is that
Speaker 1: the word among those among the coyote networks that are
Speaker 1: bringing people into the country illegally, among the cartels. You know,
Speaker 1: I don't think this doesn't also affect opioids, because remember,
Speaker 1: you have people who work in the distribution of those
Speaker 1: opio aids who are crossing the border and going into
Speaker 1: illegal immigrant communities. You also have the drugs themselves crossing
Speaker 1: the border with those workers to go into illegal immigrant
Speaker 1: communities to them be distributed to the rest of U
Speaker 1: to the rest of the country. So if they don't
Speaker 1: think that this wall is getting built, if they don't
Speaker 1: think the enforcement's gonna happen, guess what, the numbers go up.
Speaker 1: And that's where we are. I'm not saying that Trump
Speaker 1: has failed on this. I'm just saying he hasn't accomplished
Speaker 1: it yet, and the trend is in the wrong direction,
Speaker 1: and that's troubling. Okay, I'm I'm about results with Trump.
Speaker 1: Why do I not care about Stormy Daniels? Why do
Speaker 1: I not get all bogged down? And you know, oh,
Speaker 1: Trump said that it was this. Trump said potato. It's
Speaker 1: actually potato, because I believe in the agenda and I
Speaker 1: want the results and I can't Immigration was what separated
Speaker 1: him from everybody else. We cannot lose sight of this.
Speaker 1: What what's the difference between Trump and the other fifteen
Speaker 1: candidates or sixteen whatever it was that ran for the
Speaker 1: Republican nomination. Trump was willing to not just take on
Speaker 1: the issue of illegal immigration, to single handedly reframe the
Speaker 1: national discussion of immigration as a topic. That is what
Speaker 1: he accomplished. That's what he did. That's why he's president.
Speaker 1: Let's be honest. Okay, he's he's not president because, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, he's the best, most precise orator in the
Speaker 1: history of the world. Although he's incredibly entertaining, and I
Speaker 1: give him a lot of props for being amazing in
Speaker 1: live events, I'm I'm not trying to take anything away
Speaker 1: from the man in that regard, but you know, he
Speaker 1: said that he was going to get some things done.
Speaker 1: Immigration is the centerpiece of the agenda, and it needs
Speaker 1: redoubled attention right now in advance of the mid terms.
Speaker 1: I also want to talk to you about the increase
Speaker 1: in military air accidents that have fatality is over a
Speaker 1: hundred killed just in the last few years. There's a
Speaker 1: reason for this that ties right into the budget and
Speaker 1: what the Democrats in Obama did. I'll tell you about
Speaker 1: it when we come back. There are a few constants
Speaker 1: in my day to day. My friends, it's a crazy
Speaker 1: world we live in. I'm sure it's true for you too.
Speaker 1: I'm in the media business. Things get nuts. But you
Speaker 1: know what, I rely on coffee. I drink it a
Speaker 1: few times throughout the course of the day, and I
Speaker 1: only have one coffee brand, Black Rifle Coffee. In fact,
Speaker 1: I'm a subscriber, so whether I'm getting some silence or
Speaker 1: smooth or caffeinated as blank. I love the different varieties
Speaker 1: they offer, and I also like that this is a
Speaker 1: company that is all about giving back to veterans and
Speaker 1: supporting those who have served this great nation. Veteran owned
Speaker 1: and operated Black Rifle Coffee. You can subscribe. You can

Speaker 1: Welcome back to the show team. The Pentagon just earlier
Speaker 1: today identified nine pilots and crew killed earlier this week
Speaker 1: when an Air National Guard plane crashed near Savannah, Georgia.
Speaker 1: Now it seems there's been a slew of these deadly
Speaker 1: crashes involving our military, and I don't understand aviation. I'm
Speaker 1: not a guy with any expertise in it, but I
Speaker 1: want to look into this some more. So we brought
Speaker 1: somebody on here who can address these questions and tell
Speaker 1: us exactly what's going on here. We have Lieutenant Colonel
Speaker 1: Buzz Patterson on the line. Uh. Buzz is a retired
Speaker 1: military combat pilot, distinguished White House Military Aid and New
Speaker 1: York Times bestselling author of Dereliction of Duty and Reckless Disregard. Uh, Buzz,
Speaker 1: thank you so much for joining. Appreciate having you on. Yeah,
Speaker 1: my pleasure, Buck, thanks so much. So. I'm seeing here
Speaker 1: that military crashes have increased by byt There's been a
Speaker 1: six month investigation Military time saying that this is really,
Speaker 1: uh an urgent issue. Can you tell me what's going
Speaker 1: on here? Because for a lot of us in the
Speaker 1: civilian world, we're like, wait, how is it that the
Speaker 1: military could be having such an increase in these crashes
Speaker 1: and we're losing uh service members here a hundred and
Speaker 1: thirty three killed from seventeen in in accidents alone. What's
Speaker 1: going on? Yeah, actually more that were killed more than twice.
Speaker 1: Has many killed buck in accidents, training accidents back here
Speaker 1: in the States, and we're killed in combat in a
Speaker 1: rock and and uh, Afghanistan and Syria. So here's my take.
Speaker 1: It's a systemic problem when you have a democratic presidency
Speaker 1: or administration like you have a Barack Obama, like I
Speaker 1: had under President Bill Clinton. They used their eight years
Speaker 1: to uh move money's allocate moneys out of the DoD budget,
Speaker 1: and that really impacts two things that are critical. It
Speaker 1: impacts training, training time, training hours, and it impacts maintenance
Speaker 1: or military readiness. Is what if someone commonly called the Pentagon.
Speaker 1: So when Barack Obama remove moneys are out reallocated them
Speaker 1: out of the do O D budget during those eight years,
Speaker 1: we lost a lot of training time and a lot
Speaker 1: of ability to replace fare parts and aircraft. So now
Speaker 1: that we're President Trump is inherited is a military that
Speaker 1: has been hollowed out and it takes years. Buck. It's
Speaker 1: a logistical tale. We call it takes years now to
Speaker 1: to restart the engine, to re get the training, the
Speaker 1: training time back up to speed, to re get parts
Speaker 1: back into the system for the aircraft. And I think,
Speaker 1: you know, we've had seven crashes this year alone involving
Speaker 1: military peacetime accidents since the two thousand and eighteen began.
Speaker 1: And I think it's a think problem that goes back
Speaker 1: to the previous administration. And it's the point, I think,
Speaker 1: which is a crisis, and it's gonna take us three
Speaker 1: or four years probably yet the minimum to get out
Speaker 1: of it. Is there any one particular airframe and any
Speaker 1: one aerial platform that is particularly at risk for this
Speaker 1: or is it pretty spread across uh different different aviation units.
Speaker 1: I mean, is there anything to that? I mean you're
Speaker 1: mentioning maintenance. Are there some vehicles, some some planes that
Speaker 1: are are worse off in this situation than others? You know,
Speaker 1: a rotary aircraft worse than fixed wing Well it appears
Speaker 1: so far, but just this year alone, we've had a
Speaker 1: little bit of everything. We've had. We've had helicopter crashes,
Speaker 1: we've had fighter jet crashes, we've had we've got to
Speaker 1: see one three crash yesterday, transport plane so I think
Speaker 1: it's pretty much a broad brushed thing that we're watching here.
Speaker 1: So you know, I want yesterday's crashed in the Savannah,
Speaker 1: Georgia to um a training issue. I think it might
Speaker 1: have been a maintenance issue. We can get into that
Speaker 1: a little bit later less you want to. But I
Speaker 1: think we're looking right now. It's just a specific problem
Speaker 1: across all weapons systems. We call them all aircraft types,
Speaker 1: all services. So it's not it's not just an air
Speaker 1: Force problem or a Navy problem, or a Marine Corps problem,
Speaker 1: or are we problem. It's a d D wide problem.
Speaker 1: It strikes me that this is a particularly insidious kind
Speaker 1: of of funding shortfall, because you know, if they try
Speaker 1: to cut military pay, I think we I think we'd
Speaker 1: hear about that, and and folks would at least be
Speaker 1: able to complain to their elected representatives. But things like
Speaker 1: training time, things like maintenance on on vehicles, particularly things
Speaker 1: that are things that are up in the sky flying,
Speaker 1: that doesn't necessarily get the same degree of attention. I
Speaker 1: could see how if someone was trying to trim the
Speaker 1: budget right at the federal government, if the White House,
Speaker 1: as you mentioned, under the Obama administration, was looking for cutbacks.
Speaker 1: Those cutbacks you don't see right away, but it seems
Speaker 1: from what you're telling me and what we're seeing based
Speaker 1: on these news reports, that you see them later on
Speaker 1: with losing men and women who were serving their country
Speaker 1: because they don't have the gear and they don't have
Speaker 1: the flight time that they That's exactly what it is,
Speaker 1: because what happens in particular, just just take one particular unit,
Speaker 1: to take a C one thirty unit or an F
Speaker 1: sixteen unit. What happens is you have a certain number
Speaker 1: of aircraft, and you have to maintain a certain number
Speaker 1: of fliable aircraft. So when you have other aircraft they're
Speaker 1: not flable, you cannibalize, You take parts out of those
Speaker 1: airplanes and boot them to the airplanes that are still
Speaker 1: capable of flying. Well, that is that that it trips
Speaker 1: pretty quickly. That that that you can never get that back.
Speaker 1: It's like you know, spinning your own credit card never
Speaker 1: paying back the balance. So uh, and that catches up
Speaker 1: with you over a certain amount of time. And we've
Speaker 1: been also, correspondingly, Buck, we have been deploying our assets
Speaker 1: that record numbers. You know, our guys and girls have
Speaker 1: been going overseas a record numbers. So you combine the
Speaker 1: actible deployment equation with the fact that they're getting less
Speaker 1: and less and less fair parts for what they're operating,
Speaker 1: and that's just doomed to fail. And we're seeing we're
Speaker 1: seeing that failure. One of the big pushes that the
Speaker 1: President had for the last omnibus bill that was signed
Speaker 1: had to do with and I think this is the
Speaker 1: one part of it that a lot of conservatives, a
Speaker 1: lot of the the GOP base, we're saying, Okay, well,
Speaker 1: at least we're getting that was more funding for the military. Now,
Speaker 1: some people see this and they say, well, you know,
Speaker 1: there's always more funding for the military, right, And there
Speaker 1: was a little bit of a cynicism that crept into
Speaker 1: the conversation. From what you're telling me, though, Buzz, it
Speaker 1: sounds like there was a shortfall and that the increase
Speaker 1: in the budget that the Republican Congress passed and that
Speaker 1: Trump signed here, although it's really a an omnibus bill,
Speaker 1: not really a budget, but that that actually was necessary
Speaker 1: to address these problems. So it wasn't just more spending
Speaker 1: for the military industrial complex, because that's what goes on
Speaker 1: that there was actually a need here is that fair
Speaker 1: to say, or is there some specifics I need to
Speaker 1: throw into this. Yeah, well that's just the beginning of
Speaker 1: the need. I think what he's doing right now is
Speaker 1: is trying to to uh to get back to where
Speaker 1: we should have been several years ago. So this is
Speaker 1: this is the first step in that. And I'll helly
Speaker 1: the exact year buck this started happening was under Obama
Speaker 1: when he took a significant cut to what we call
Speaker 1: O and M operations and maintenance so readiness, training and
Speaker 1: maintenance parts and took a significant cut. And again the
Speaker 1: lead time for that stuff. You can't replace all that
Speaker 1: in a year or two years or three years. That's
Speaker 1: got it. That's that's the time consuming four or five
Speaker 1: or six year out kind of thing. When you're when
Speaker 1: you're buying new weapons systems or your modifying weapons systems,
Speaker 1: or you're procuring new aircraft like the F thirty five,
Speaker 1: those take because of our system, our political process, those
Speaker 1: take almost a decade to get you know, um fielded
Speaker 1: in the air. So we're looking at the fact that
Speaker 1: Trump inherited this. His first bill was the ominous Bill.
Speaker 1: Were probably gonna take us three or four more years
Speaker 1: now to get to where we should have been when
Speaker 1: Bush left office, and buzz when Trump says that the
Speaker 1: military has been hollowed out and he's been this has
Speaker 1: been a refrain. Is it really is this the area?
Speaker 1: Is this really where it is the training, the readiness,
Speaker 1: the maintenance, or there are other big shortfalls, other big
Speaker 1: gaps that have been kind of hidden from the public
Speaker 1: at least perception of what's going on in the military
Speaker 1: that we should be aware of. Now these are these
Speaker 1: are the two. I think the are the most important,
Speaker 1: but because easy two, they're the easiest to hide in
Speaker 1: the d D budget process. You can hide training hours.
Speaker 1: You can you can decrease training hours and nobody pays attention.
Speaker 1: You can decrease the number of of spare parts for aircraft,
Speaker 1: nobody pays attention. If you go after hospitals or the
Speaker 1: v A or pay raises, people will pay attention to that.
Speaker 1: So what they've done is very very intelligent on their
Speaker 1: under beaffs are very damaging the very it's very insightful
Speaker 1: because what they're doing is they're going after things that
Speaker 1: nobody else will see that take years and years and
Speaker 1: years to catch up with. So it did take to
Speaker 1: this point this year. It took that long for the
Speaker 1: military to realize the effects of what happened five six
Speaker 1: set years ago. Lieutenant Colonel Boz Patterson's retired military combat isiot,
Speaker 1: author of the New York Times bestseller Dereliction of Duty
Speaker 1: and Reckless Disregard. Well, it's great to have you on.
Speaker 1: Please come back on the show soon and thank you
Speaker 1: for your service. Thank you very much. Anytime, Dame Roland
Speaker 1: to do a quick one here we come back. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna tell you about bicyclists and why I have a
Speaker 1: beef with them, as well as some other things. And
Speaker 1: then we got roll calls. Stay with me. He's holding
Speaker 1: the line for America buck sext in his back. Now.
Speaker 1: I don't want to be a hater, Okay, I'm just
Speaker 1: I'm just sharing with you some things that I think about.
Speaker 1: But what is it with people that ride bicycles in
Speaker 1: major American cities just being crazy? I'm sorry. I know
Speaker 1: there's a huge generalization, Like I've got family members that
Speaker 1: ride bikes in the city. I get it, right, But
Speaker 1: but when I say that, a lot of you are like, yeah, man,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I have lived in major cities my
Speaker 1: whole life. And I have never come close to meeting
Speaker 1: my creator because of knock on wood, but because of
Speaker 1: a vehicle. But I have. I have been inches away
Speaker 1: from annihilation because of some guy who's like common through
Speaker 1: common through on a bicycle or you know, people on
Speaker 1: bicycles act like total maniacs. It's like, I'm sorry, I
Speaker 1: didn't know that I was one ft into your bike lane.
Speaker 1: But you also shouldn't be going forty miles an hour
Speaker 1: through midtown Manhattan, or in the case of today, in
Speaker 1: downtown d C. There's people everywhere, right just because you're
Speaker 1: on a little thing that you're peddling fast, it doesn't
Speaker 1: mean that you're going thirty five and no one minds
Speaker 1: and no one cares. It's just madness makes me very
Speaker 1: makes me very frustrated. It really really does. Um. I
Speaker 1: find that there's just something about that. There's like an
Speaker 1: attitude that goes with it too. There's a there's an
Speaker 1: attitude about riding on bikes. It's like all of you
Speaker 1: chumps who are on foot don't deserve my respect. And
Speaker 1: everyone who's in a car, you're like joying the world
Speaker 1: man with your green gas. You're greenhouse gas. You're the
Speaker 1: gases are so bad they're green whatever. Man, you know,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of that going on. Uh So I'm
Speaker 1: just I don't know what it is. Just today I
Speaker 1: almost got completely wiped out by a bicycle on my
Speaker 1: way to the office, and I was like, dude, you
Speaker 1: know you know what I'm saying, Like, you don't. I
Speaker 1: don't think they're I don't think you're putting out a
Speaker 1: fire on the other side of town. You know, you
Speaker 1: could go like fifteen miles an hour like a normal person,
Speaker 1: because when you're growing twenty five on a bike and
Speaker 1: I know, I'm probably my speeds are probably I'm gonna
Speaker 1: get emails. Book, he wasn't going twenty five. First of all,
Speaker 1: some of those guys actually do go twenty miles an hour.
Speaker 1: And you know, you get these guys who are messengers,
Speaker 1: and for whatever reason, the guys would take out food.
Speaker 1: It's different because they can't spoil the food, right, so
Speaker 1: they can't go super fast and have you know, pizza
Speaker 1: or lomain or whatever like flying all over the place.
Speaker 1: But the messengers, it's like they think that they're terminators
Speaker 1: with two wheels and anyone who gets in the way
Speaker 1: must be crushed. They need, they need to relax a
Speaker 1: little bit. So I I'm just saying random story I
Speaker 1: wanted to share with you. This uh this, this just
Speaker 1: came up today. A man was arrested in Scotland over
Speaker 1: the weekend because he was carrying a potato peeler in
Speaker 1: a public place without a reasonable excuse, according to Breitbart.
Speaker 1: And now, I mean, this is how crazy the the
Speaker 1: anti sharp things mindset has become. Because there's been a
Speaker 1: big surge in stabbings and murders in the UK. So
Speaker 1: now they're looking to do something about it. What are
Speaker 1: they gonna do? Banned things? Because that's somehow gonna work.
Speaker 1: But can you imagine being this guy? It's like, what
Speaker 1: are you doing that far? You're taking the potato pure?
Speaker 1: Are you nuts? And the answer is yes, you know
Speaker 1: you're you're taking away You're taking away guy's potato peeler
Speaker 1: on top of that, taking away his freedom. Maybe if
Speaker 1: if you can get robbed by somebody who's carrying a
Speaker 1: potato peeler, I'm not sure that there's much that can
Speaker 1: be done to save you. I'm not sure that that
Speaker 1: we're gonna be able to um pass laws that save you.
Speaker 1: Becauld you just imagine, like, what am I gonna do
Speaker 1: that potato peeler. I'm gonna shave her ready with it
Speaker 1: a lot. It doesn't make any sense right when you
Speaker 1: start to think about this. But then again, for a
Speaker 1: long time, the t s A was taking toneenail clippers.
Speaker 1: Could you could you imagine that one? Like everybody freeze,
Speaker 1: I have a toe nail clipper, take two steps in
Speaker 1: the wrong direction and the cuticle gets it um by.
Speaker 1: You know you're gonna see more of this in the UK.
Speaker 1: It's crazy. You're gonna see more of this where they
Speaker 1: start taking people's knives and try see it's deterrens. It's
Speaker 1: always deterrens prosecution. And give it some time. Here's my prediction,
Speaker 1: which right now I know is not a consensus thing.
Speaker 1: But give it some time and we you will see
Speaker 1: that there will be people, um, there will be people
Speaker 1: in this country who are saying, look what they did
Speaker 1: in the UK. They're banning knives and it's working so well.
Speaker 1: And he'll be like, no, it doesn't work, dude. Why
Speaker 1: do you say these great Why are you calling me dude, sir?
Speaker 1: Because I just call people dude. Well, I object now
Speaker 1: it sounds like I'm having a breakdown on radio. But
Speaker 1: you get what I'm saying. I think that you're gonna
Speaker 1: see this expand in the UK, and in just a
Speaker 1: matter of time it will in fact be here. Still
Speaker 1: there'll be a sentiment state side. It's already there's a
Speaker 1: little like little bits of it in Um, there's little
Speaker 1: bits of it in New York and Boston. Whereas I've
Speaker 1: told you, I worked for the n y p D
Speaker 1: and I had a I had a bunch of buddies
Speaker 1: who were sergeants with fifteen plus years on the job.
Speaker 1: Great guys know the rules backwards and forwards right their sergeants.
Speaker 1: They're managers of other of other officers. And I was like,
Speaker 1: so to explain gravity knife, I mean, they're like gravity knife.
Speaker 1: I don't know, buddy. I mean basically, if we want
Speaker 1: to arrestue, you gotta gravity knife. We're gonna rescue and uh,
Speaker 1: you know you're not gonna go to prison, but like
Speaker 1: we're gonna arrescue. And I was like, uh, that doesn't
Speaker 1: really seem like a law. They're like, I know it's crazy,
Speaker 1: but you know, welcome to New York. Roll calls up next,
Speaker 1: Stay with me, Team Buck rallies together. Now Liberty, Truth
Speaker 1: and great Hair. Feel those funky beats. It's time for
Speaker 1: roll call. The flute never sounded quite so cool, did it.
Speaker 1: So there you go, let's get into a roll call.
Speaker 1: My friends. Thank you so much for sending me your thoughts.
Speaker 1: Producer Mike while I'm on the air, reminds me please
Speaker 1: do for me all the emails for official Team Buck
Speaker 1: at gmail dot com. And I'm also going to just
Speaker 1: start having those forwarded to another email address so I
Speaker 1: never missed them. But the easiest way, as you all know,
Speaker 1: is Facebook dot com slash Buck Sexton and that's where
Speaker 1: we're going right now for all of these. Uh we
Speaker 1: have Mike who writes Buck. My wife and I have
Speaker 1: been listening to you since your Saturday show. Well, thank you, Mike.
Speaker 1: And by the way, that will be five years ago.
Speaker 1: The well I forget when the first day of the
Speaker 1: radio show was uh Stoates and some of the Oss Squad.
Speaker 1: They'll always remind me on Twitter. I think it was
Speaker 1: February of twelve. I think that's when I first got
Speaker 1: on the air. Anyway, So yeah, thank you, I'm saying
Speaker 1: original Team Buck squad, John who was running our board
Speaker 1: in NYC. Was with me on Saturday, seeing me all grumpy,
Speaker 1: occasionally slightly hungover, just kidding, never but a little tired.
Speaker 1: And John was there with me to make sure that
Speaker 1: we gotta go. And so John, that sounds about right, Yeah, alrighty,
Speaker 1: So it's been about Oh no, that means it's been
Speaker 1: six years. Six years, dude, that's crazy. I've been in
Speaker 1: this game a long time. This is nuts. Anyway, Thank
Speaker 1: you so much, Mike for being along with me. Mike
Speaker 1: continues on here quote, I'm retired military, serve for thirty years,
Speaker 1: and currently work for the federal government. In my current position,
Speaker 1: I spent two hundred days a year traveling, and I
Speaker 1: subscribe to your podcast, which is my go to while
Speaker 1: driving and or flying. Love the impressions and accents. Hillary
Speaker 1: never gets old. Thank you, but from me, your best
Speaker 1: one is your Governor Cuomo. Your April nineteenth podcast was
Speaker 1: so funny that I was laughing out loud on the
Speaker 1: airplane and the guy next me probably thought I was
Speaker 1: a lunatic, while the Bruce Dickinson a k a. Christopher
Speaker 1: Walking may have needed more cowbell. I need more Cuomo shields, high, Mike,
Speaker 1: I hope you enjoyed the podcast. Wherever you listen around
Speaker 1: the world, just remember if you speak in a monotone
Speaker 1: with a vague New York regional as and people will
Speaker 1: thank you all powerful. There you go, buddy, thank you
Speaker 1: so much for being with me original Saturday Squad, and
Speaker 1: also for having a cute family dog that is clearly
Speaker 1: your avatar. Can never go wrong with the labrador, can that.
Speaker 1: You know, Labrador is just it's like ordering the ordering
Speaker 1: the hamburger the restaurant. No one's over look Oh, shouldn't
Speaker 1: have the hamburger, please right, the safe bet always the hamburger.
Speaker 1: By the way, if they can't make a hamburger, you
Speaker 1: should get out of the place, right, Same thing with
Speaker 1: the labor or no one's over looker shouldn't have gotten
Speaker 1: a lab They're just so loving and loyal and perfect.
Speaker 1: You know, labs are always a good move. You know. Look,
Speaker 1: if you want to go with a sheet Sue, that's cool,
Speaker 1: but just understand that you're living You're living life on
Speaker 1: the edge. You're kind of a wild man with your
Speaker 1: sheets suit or a lady. Uh next up? Dan? Oh wow,
Speaker 1: whoa whoa Okay, Dan, I appreciate it. Um Buck was.
Speaker 1: This is a long message. I'm not gonnable to get
Speaker 1: to all but Dan, I will read all this, but
Speaker 1: I can't read it all on air because it'll be
Speaker 1: the whole segment. I was listening to yesterday's podcast and
Speaker 1: wanted to give another side of the Boy Scouts becoming
Speaker 1: Scouts and co ed. Um. It's just mine, but as
Speaker 1: scout master that runs one of the longest running troops
Speaker 1: in Massachusetts, an Eagle Scout, and a pretty conservative guy,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try to claim the normal guy ground here.
Speaker 1: I really don't think this is part of a liberal
Speaker 1: push to take gender out of everything, or the b
Speaker 1: s A saying there's no difference in boys and girls.
Speaker 1: It's about increasing membership and there for money. That's probably
Speaker 1: a big part. Um. Okay, look, I I'm not an
Speaker 1: expert on the Boy Scouts, to be sure, right. I
Speaker 1: mean that's I told you. I was a Cub Scout
Speaker 1: for like a year and then I think it was
Speaker 1: too sad when it's like, hey, let's go see some animals.
Speaker 1: So there's some pigeons and some squirrels in Central Park.
Speaker 1: Let's go. Let's go look at the squirrels and the
Speaker 1: pigeons squirrel. So maybe it is about membership and money.
Speaker 1: And if that's the case, then that's the case. But
Speaker 1: I I do think there's and this is why I
Speaker 1: try to tie it into some other things. I think
Speaker 1: there's a larger issue at work here about how boys
Speaker 1: are not allowed separate spaces, and there's I do think
Speaker 1: there's a push to make it really hard to have
Speaker 1: any single sex activities for for young people now. So
Speaker 1: there's that. But hey, if Dan, maybe a correct here
Speaker 1: about the the overall the you know, the the overall
Speaker 1: reason for this follow the money is is almost you know,
Speaker 1: it's almost always the correct plan if you want to
Speaker 1: find out what's going on. So thank you very much
Speaker 1: Dan for your note. And hey, if I if if
Speaker 1: someone's got me on something, if they if I'm not
Speaker 1: getting it getting it completely correct, well then let me know.
Speaker 1: Um I want to I want to do it right
Speaker 1: here in the Hut always Amy next up, Hey, Buck
Speaker 1: quick question. As per the Caputo conversation on Tucker Carlson's
Speaker 1: show last night, Caputo is saying that the process is
Speaker 1: the punishment. The progressive establishment is going after anyone they
Speaker 1: can destroy. Um. I think this is why Trump has
Speaker 1: advisors constantly jumping ship. Is this also why Jeff Sessions
Speaker 1: refuses to do his job because he wants to destroy
Speaker 1: any outsiders? Amy? You know, I like, I like a
Speaker 1: g Jeff Um. We've had him here on the show
Speaker 1: a few times. I think he's a good man who's
Speaker 1: who's doing the best he can. I do so. I
Speaker 1: do also think, however, that in the case of the
Speaker 1: Russia collusion debacle and and the whole Special Counsel catastrophe,
Speaker 1: that he used the guy in the in the bar
Speaker 1: who I like the bar fight analogy because I really
Speaker 1: do think we're in the midst of a political bar fight.
Speaker 1: I know I'm be laboring the analogy, but I think
Speaker 1: that's a pretty good way to describe this. Uh, that
Speaker 1: the Sessions is the guy who is like, hey, like everybody,
Speaker 1: let's let's calm down. And he walks outside, He's like,
Speaker 1: why don't we all get some fresh air? And inside
Speaker 1: like his buddies are getting chairs thrown out their heads.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean. It's not that he's on
Speaker 1: the other side. He's just I think a little too gentlemanly.
Speaker 1: Dare I say a little too much of a boy
Speaker 1: scout for our current moment where it is an all
Speaker 1: hands on deck brawl, right, it is a street fight,
Speaker 1: it is trench warfare. All those analogies I think are
Speaker 1: really useful to describe this political moment. So and as
Speaker 1: to yeah, the process of the punishment, you know, I
Speaker 1: say it all the time. And my one of the
Speaker 1: things that I bring to the show that I think
Speaker 1: is somewhat unique is I understand bureaucracies because I worked
Speaker 1: in a massive bureaucracy in the past, the federal bureaucracy,
Speaker 1: and and I you just get a sense of those
Speaker 1: of the politics and how rules and laws are enforced
Speaker 1: within them, and it really gives me an idea of
Speaker 1: one and how the deep state functions, but also how
Speaker 1: the political entities use these and and weaponize these structures
Speaker 1: against their political opponents. So I've seen that up close
Speaker 1: and personal and in ways that I think hopefully influence
Speaker 1: my analysis here in a good way. Sarah, next up here,
Speaker 1: Hey Buck, I wanted to respond to the Kanye discussion
Speaker 1: from Wednesday's show. The way I took his comments about
Speaker 1: the choosing slavery thing is that a lot of folks
Speaker 1: still feel very angry about slavery and choose to live
Speaker 1: in that frame of mind like they're still feeling wronged
Speaker 1: personally for something they were not a part of. That's
Speaker 1: what I took out of that statement. Yes it happened
Speaker 1: and it was horrible, but can we mourn the past
Speaker 1: without staying trapped in it? Does that make ends, well, Sarah,
Speaker 1: It certainly is makes sense from the perspective of I
Speaker 1: understand I think what you're saying, but I don't think
Speaker 1: I could say that. I think I know what Kanye
Speaker 1: was saying. I know this is I'm getting a little
Speaker 1: wrapped around the axle here. I'm not really clear. And
Speaker 1: I've heard people say, oh, I know what Kanye was saying,
Speaker 1: and then they start to say it and I say, no,
Speaker 1: you know, you may be brilliant on other things, but
Speaker 1: your Kanye analysis, I think is a little bit of
Speaker 1: a stretch. So and I'm also I find this Kanye
Speaker 1: thing interesting to talk about. But I've I I do
Speaker 1: put out the caution here that you know, he's gonna
Speaker 1: be like, socialized medicine is the greatest thing ever, and
Speaker 1: everyone's gonna be like, uh, you know, he's not a conservative,
Speaker 1: so don't don't forget that one. Um, Jeremy writes a
Speaker 1: buck laughing out loud at your fourth grade friend Andrew's
Speaker 1: description of the birds and the bees. Thank you. I
Speaker 1: can actually tell you the guys here in the office
Speaker 1: heard me telling that, heard me on air, um telling
Speaker 1: that one I left, I left the door open, and
Speaker 1: sell them came by and they particularly like that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's one of the one of the guys just takes
Speaker 1: his private just smashes them into a woman a baby
Speaker 1: comes out. His name was Andrew. He was a year
Speaker 1: older than me, and that was the first time and
Speaker 1: I was I was in the third grade. He was
Speaker 1: in the fourth grade, and and we were walking to
Speaker 1: our sports, you know, we had afternoon sports and we're
Speaker 1: walking to sports and he said that. Remember going like,
Speaker 1: oh gosh, is that really how babies are made? And
Speaker 1: I'm just like trying to you know, I didn't really
Speaker 1: understand the whole, you know, lock and key aspect of it.
Speaker 1: I just heard, you know, smashes his privates like that
Speaker 1: doesn't sound fun. But anyway, I learned some things. Jeremy
Speaker 1: also writes there's a great organization like the Boy Scouts
Speaker 1: that is specifically for girls. The Girl Scouts. Jeremy takes
Speaker 1: the other side of this, called me, called me old fashioned,
Speaker 1: But even as a gen y millennial, I would not
Speaker 1: want my daughter joining the boy Scouts and being out
Speaker 1: on camping trips with boys during her grade school years. Shields, Jeremy, Oh, Jeremy,
Speaker 1: thank you. And see, we've got different different folks on
Speaker 1: the team here, different members of Team Buck who view
Speaker 1: the boy Scout thing differently. I like that. I like uh, multifaceted,
Speaker 1: robust discussion of all these issues, you know. I like
Speaker 1: people who want to throw down here with their ideas.
Speaker 1: That's what this really should be. I want this show
Speaker 1: to be a vessel for your ideas, my ideas, all
Speaker 1: coming together so we can bring out the best in
Speaker 1: each other. Um. That's a perfect place to close for tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Uh please do uh share the show with a friend
Speaker 1: and until our Freestyle Friday, Shields. I I'm really fortunate
Speaker 1: to have so many phenomenal sponsors here on The Buck
