Speaker 1: This is the buck Sexton Show, where the mission or
Speaker 1: mission is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence.
Speaker 1: Make no mistake American, You're a great American. Again The
Speaker 1: buck Sexton Show begins an no, hey, everybody, welcome to
Speaker 1: the buck Sexton Show. Great to have you with me
Speaker 1: here in the freedom on honored, privilege and pleasure back
Speaker 1: in the swamp. I gotta say I like Texas a lot.
Speaker 1: Texas is a great place. D C takes a little
Speaker 1: more getting used to. There was a woman true story
Speaker 1: I was having I was having breakfast before I came
Speaker 1: back to the coast here, came back to the Acela Quarter.
Speaker 1: I was in Dallas, and you know that that jest
Speaker 1: you make with your hand. Maybe you don't do this,
Speaker 1: but kind of like you're you know you're about to
Speaker 1: sneeze and your head is cocked back and you're ready
Speaker 1: to A woman walked past me and said, bless you
Speaker 1: in advance. I just thought that was so nice. That
Speaker 1: was the most Texas thing ever. Texas such a great place.
Speaker 1: So we've got a lot to discuss today. The President
Speaker 1: of the United States is forcing the media into contortions
Speaker 1: of desperation in their anti trump Mania that that are
Speaker 1: almost hard to hard to explain, hard to describe. You see,
Speaker 1: they go so all in against Trump that they've lost
Speaker 1: all credibility, right, So that that's an important place for
Speaker 1: us to start this conversation. We all know they're not
Speaker 1: honest arbiters of what's going on. We know that the
Speaker 1: reason fake news, the reason that that bothers them so
Speaker 1: much is because they are, in fact, in many cases
Speaker 1: guilty of fake news, are guilty of tremendous bias. And
Speaker 1: it always those one way. If this were like a
Speaker 1: law of averages thing, Once in a while, there'd be
Speaker 1: some story about Trump that you'd read. You'd say, oh, wow,
Speaker 1: that's great, that's a really good thing for Trump. Then
Speaker 1: he goes, oh no, it's not true. Oh bad stories
Speaker 1: are not true all the time, right. They they do
Speaker 1: belly flops into the shallow end of the pool with
Speaker 1: their news reporting on Trump on a regular basis, and
Speaker 1: we know why because he is a threat to their
Speaker 1: sense of their own importance, to their careers, to their power,
Speaker 1: and they want to take him down. What made me
Speaker 1: get into this frame of mind right away? Today they
Speaker 1: wrote this piece in The New York Times about how
Speaker 1: Secretary of State Pompeio, whom I have been an advocate
Speaker 1: for your all along. I've written pieces on the Hill
Speaker 1: dot Com talking about how I think Pompeo is a really,
Speaker 1: really good choice for this role. Trump is tied with him.
Speaker 1: He's just kind of an alpha dog and it's gonna
Speaker 1: work well with Ump. And the whole thing makes like
Speaker 1: it just makes a lot of sense to me. There's
Speaker 1: a certain feel for these things you have to you
Speaker 1: have to get you have to get a sense of
Speaker 1: whether these are people who will be some patico given
Speaker 1: their power. But the New York Times writes this piece,
Speaker 1: and I have to give credit to Fox for picking
Speaker 1: this up, slamming Pompeio, saying, oh, he was away during
Speaker 1: the Iran deal announcement, because this is Iran Deal. This
Speaker 1: is Iran Deal collapse day two. Right. They haven't. They
Speaker 1: haven't gotten rid of this hangover yet. They're still very
Speaker 1: much in it. And it was it was just it
Speaker 1: was so clear yesterday, all these different headlines and stories
Speaker 1: are allies are all against this? How could Trump do this?
Speaker 1: What's the plan for the future. They're so upset about it.
Speaker 1: They're so upset, uh, and so They also threw in there,
Speaker 1: where's the Secretary of State? Why is he not here?
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, there's a aster under my bod. I
Speaker 1: mean they were really freaked out about it. Well, it
Speaker 1: turns out the Secretary of State was meeting with the
Speaker 1: North Korean So the Trump administration is not like, hey,
Speaker 1: we're just gonna handle Iran and forgive everything else. Oh no,
Speaker 1: that's right. The Secretary of State was meeting with his
Speaker 1: North Korean counterparts. And this is also more news to
Speaker 1: share with you, courtesy of President Trump. Quote, I am
Speaker 1: pleased to inform you that Secretary of State Pompeo is
Speaker 1: in the air and on his way back from North
Speaker 1: Korea with the three wonderful gentlemen that everyone is looking
Speaker 1: so forward to meeting. They seem to be in good health,
Speaker 1: Trump wrote, Secretary Pompeo and his guests will be landing
Speaker 1: at Andrews Air Force Base at two am Eastern time,
Speaker 1: and I will be there to greet them. Very exciting, folks.
Speaker 1: This is libs worst nightmare. Trump is getting results. Now.
Speaker 1: I know there have been exchanges, and there's been different
Speaker 1: administrations that have gotten gotten people released, but understand this.
Speaker 1: People who have taken the position up to this point
Speaker 1: that there is no reason to believe there's any opening
Speaker 1: or any change here with North Korea. How do they
Speaker 1: explain this? They're trying to buy us off. Okay, well,
Speaker 1: at least we got back a few of our guys.
Speaker 1: At least it shows there is some good faith. And
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm just gonna put this out there.
Speaker 1: I'm taking a wild guess because I don't know, but
Speaker 1: I have a feeling unlike the Obama administration with Iran,
Speaker 1: we got these guys back without delivering pallets full of cold,
Speaker 1: hard cash for the psychopaths in charge. Wow. Trump was
Speaker 1: supposed to be the destroyer of the economy, they told us,
Speaker 1: the bringer of fascism into this country, and a complete
Speaker 1: and utter buffoon when it came to foreign policy. What
Speaker 1: are they gonna do when the Iran deal gets renegotiated
Speaker 1: on more reasonable terms. I'm not even saying favorable terms,
Speaker 1: just more reasonable terms for the United States. What are
Speaker 1: they gonna do if North Korea is in fact the
Speaker 1: opening that the Trump administration is hoping. They're sober minded
Speaker 1: about it. They are, they have clear eyes, full hearts,
Speaker 1: can't lose. Uh, they are very much in a position
Speaker 1: where they feel like there's so much more to lose
Speaker 1: from not approaching North Korean this way than than if
Speaker 1: they were to hang back and just play strategic patients.
Speaker 1: That was the game of the Obama administration. But you
Speaker 1: can just feel the media's credibility evaporating with each of
Speaker 1: these stories. You can just feel there's something of a
Speaker 1: a quiet panic in the newsroom of the New York
Speaker 1: Times the Washington Post. Because they can shape the narrative
Speaker 1: to a certain degree, right, they can push events in
Speaker 1: in one direction, or or they can talk about events
Speaker 1: in one way or another. They can't really actually form
Speaker 1: those events, although fake news allows them to do that.
Speaker 1: But once the truth gets out about really big things
Speaker 1: the administration is doing that, Trump is going big league.
Speaker 1: If you will write, was it big leg or big league?
Speaker 1: I was always so confused, and then I found out
Speaker 1: and I think it was big league or no, was
Speaker 1: it big le whatever? Both both accurate ways of saying.
Speaker 1: And I didn't know that big le was a word.
Speaker 1: I had to look that one up. So Trump in
Speaker 1: fact taught me a word. It's not an easy thing
Speaker 1: to do. But what will they do in the media
Speaker 1: when it becomes irrefutable. And that's what we're heading toward,
Speaker 1: when it becomes irrefutable that this president, despite his lack
Speaker 1: of of foreign policy credentials, despite the fact that you know,
Speaker 1: they was acting he's such an He did go to
Speaker 1: an Ivy League school, which for other presidents, and somehow,
Speaker 1: you know, John John Curry went to Yale. Who cares, Right,
Speaker 1: John Carry's an income poop. But they'll say, oh, he
Speaker 1: went to Yale. Uh. Trump went to Wharton, the business school,
Speaker 1: the University of Pennsylvania. But they still act like he's
Speaker 1: the dumbest guy ever, right, successful businessman, and you don't
Speaker 1: even run down the whole resume. But you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying here, They act like he has just no
Speaker 1: clue about what's going on. But maybe his instincts or
Speaker 1: just his willingness to see the world as it is
Speaker 1: instead of what liberals do, seeing the world as they
Speaker 1: wish it to be. Just maybe that's a better approach
Speaker 1: than what we had seen in the past. Speaking honestly,
Speaker 1: which also means bluntly to the American people but also
Speaker 1: to our foreign adversaries and allies. Right, this is the deal,
Speaker 1: guys and gals. This is what's going to be happening here.
Speaker 1: I think that Trump is on the precipice of creating
Speaker 1: in two years. I'll give him until the end of
Speaker 1: the year on this right before I could even make
Speaker 1: a real judgment. So I'm not gonna come on here
Speaker 1: next week and say we got it, we got one.
Speaker 1: It's from Ghostbusters when they get the first call, you know,
Speaker 1: Andy Potts, that's right. I remember the actress's name because
Speaker 1: I've seen the movie that many times. She hits the
Speaker 1: the bell. Ghostbusters also has great music. Anyway, I give
Speaker 1: it until the end of the year before I can
Speaker 1: say that he has, in fact achieved more in two
Speaker 1: years than Obama achieved in eight and without mortgaging the
Speaker 1: rest of our foreign policy interests in the process. This
Speaker 1: is going to cause liberal nightmares in the media. This
Speaker 1: is going to cause all kinds of problems because how
Speaker 1: do they how do they walk it back after this one?
Speaker 1: This is the area right, international relations, foreign affairs. All
Speaker 1: of a sudden, Christian, I'm mom polls back on the
Speaker 1: radio show. I like foreign leaders to sit and chat
Speaker 1: with me to know and that world now has got
Speaker 1: a guy showing up who's like, hey, sanctions. All right,
Speaker 1: let's talk sanctions. You guys gotta stop being jerks. There
Speaker 1: will be less sanctions bout a being. It's not really
Speaker 1: how Trump talks. But you know what I'm saying. What
Speaker 1: does it do to to the think tank set They're
Speaker 1: right near me here in d C. What does it
Speaker 1: do to the case streets squad When Trump's greatest accomplishments
Speaker 1: thus far could in fact be foreign policy related? It
Speaker 1: will blow their minds. And I'm just very happy we
Speaker 1: got some Americans coming home. Could you imagine the the
Speaker 1: nightmare that would be getting stuck um being held? Getting
Speaker 1: stuck makes it sound like you missed the last flight.
Speaker 1: Being held in North Korea as a prisoner for political purposes?
Speaker 1: Can you imagine how terrifying that would be. A regime
Speaker 1: that treats its own people in such a disgraceful fashion
Speaker 1: is one that you would really, really not want to
Speaker 1: be in the hands of as a political prisoner. All right, team,
Speaker 1: I really want to hear from you back from Dallas
Speaker 1: eight four four to five here in the swamp, call
Speaker 1: our swamp line eight four four nine eight to four,
Speaker 1: nine hundred buck. I want to talk to you about
Speaker 1: this charade, charade on the on the Hill earlier today
Speaker 1: with the nominee to be the next CI director Hospital
Speaker 1: and what the liberals are doing here. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: you know what's going on, a lot of grandstanding, a
Speaker 1: lot of whining, a lot of pretentiousness from Democrats that
Speaker 1: are trying to make the highlight reel in MSNBC. Uh,
Speaker 1: we will take Okham's razor to all that nonsense like
Speaker 1: a chainsaw in just a few I don't believe that
Speaker 1: torture works. We got valuable information from debriefing of al
Speaker 1: Qaeda detainees, and I don't I don't think it's noble
Speaker 1: whether interrogation techniques played a role in that. Gina Haspell,
Speaker 1: who's supposed to be, uh the next CIA director? My
Speaker 1: my old home agents eat people who ask me, I
Speaker 1: do not I have I have nothing specific to say
Speaker 1: about Hasspell. Uh. So you know, people are like, hey,
Speaker 1: do you know, I don't. I have nothing specific to
Speaker 1: say about hasspeal other than what is out there right
Speaker 1: now from the testimony on the Hill and what's going
Speaker 1: on as we're all seeing it in real time right
Speaker 1: any anything anything that that that occurred with this nominee
Speaker 1: to lead the agency before a few weeks ago. Literally
Speaker 1: neither confirmed nor denied, know nothing about, have nothing to
Speaker 1: say on. But I can talk about what's going on
Speaker 1: in Congress, obviously, because she is getting a lot of
Speaker 1: heat from the left over this. They're getting all all
Speaker 1: worked up over what they call torture. Now, I don't
Speaker 1: want to They like this debate, the laugh the Democrats.
Speaker 1: They like this because it makes them feel morally superior
Speaker 1: to Republicans. Right. They like this because it makes them
Speaker 1: feel like they have a way of undermining what is
Speaker 1: clearly the superior national security credibility of the Republican Party
Speaker 1: over the Democrat Party. Not the Republicans don't make a
Speaker 1: lot of mistakes and do dumb things on national security,
Speaker 1: because they do. But Democrats sometimes you're like, which people
Speaker 1: are getting mad at me for saying this? There are
Speaker 1: some Democrats where I really do ask the question. I'm
Speaker 1: talking about elected officials, you know, members of Congress, senior
Speaker 1: advisors to Obama. I would want to ask, what side
Speaker 1: are you want again? Because sometimes it feels like not
Speaker 1: exactly playing for keeps for America. But they like the issue.
Speaker 1: Are the the debate around torture because it's so easy
Speaker 1: now after the fact to make these claims about how
Speaker 1: they were opposed to it. You get people like Pelosi
Speaker 1: who are like, oh, I didn't know anything about I
Speaker 1: was never brief drawing or anything. Yeah, and then you
Speaker 1: have this big fight as you know between Congress and
Speaker 1: well Democrats in the Senate and the agency. Uh, that's
Speaker 1: spilled out into the press about who knew what when
Speaker 1: about enhanced interrogation, and it was just all this stuff.
Speaker 1: It's a big mess. Ah. We have moved past this
Speaker 1: now as an issue of of blame shifting, but Democrats
Speaker 1: have it. They still think that this is a place
Speaker 1: where they should really dig in and double down and
Speaker 1: make it very clear that they think that they have
Speaker 1: the moral authority on this issue. Although to be you know,
Speaker 1: to be fair. Um, John McCain, by the way, I
Speaker 1: hope he's I hope he's doing as well as he
Speaker 1: can under the circumstances. I know, you know, thoughts and
Speaker 1: prayers to his family. Um. But John McCain is a
Speaker 1: Republican has been one of the biggest opponents of the
Speaker 1: enhanced interrogation technique program. So it's not just Democrats who
Speaker 1: really against it, but the Democrats do it in a
Speaker 1: way that's very self serving. Um. And and you know,
Speaker 1: I remember what it was like though, first weeks, months,
Speaker 1: even years after nine eleven, we were literally under assault.
Speaker 1: And we think of it as well. You know, we
Speaker 1: lost a few planes that day, a few thousand people
Speaker 1: that day, But that was their best shot. If we
Speaker 1: hadn't gone hard after all Quaida, there would have been
Speaker 1: plane after plane going into buildings in the United States,
Speaker 1: and who knows what other targets they would have hit.
Speaker 1: They had big plans. We know about it. We know
Speaker 1: they were going after multiple mass casualty incidents after nine eleven.
Speaker 1: That was the goal, that's what they were striving for.
Speaker 1: And in a very limited number of cases, the Enhanced
Speaker 1: Interrogation Techniques program. Uh, that program was used in a
Speaker 1: way that still some very senior, very respected people within
Speaker 1: the CIA have come out publicly to say saved a
Speaker 1: lot of lives and to say that it's torture when
Speaker 1: someone is put through a process that is highly uncomfortable.
Speaker 1: I understand that, and and and it's nasty and uh,
Speaker 1: but to compare that to say, putting electrodes on somebody
Speaker 1: where they could die, that seems to be a dishonest
Speaker 1: approach to the problem, or at least a dishonest way
Speaker 1: of discussing what's going on. People are water boarded in
Speaker 1: some of our elite military survivor survival schools. That has
Speaker 1: been done. We wouldn't cut off the fingers of our
Speaker 1: our men and women in uniform who are training in
Speaker 1: these programs. Right, that's torture. Uh. Enhanced interrogation is nasty,
Speaker 1: it's rough, but it's also be it was also being
Speaker 1: used against terrorists. I mean, I can't help but step
Speaker 1: back from this and say, I saw this this report today,
Speaker 1: at least that K s M College sheik Mohammed, the
Speaker 1: nine eleven plotter. It's very opposed to Uh. Gina Haspell
Speaker 1: as the next Eye director. Like, well, if there is
Speaker 1: such a thing as getting the the endorsement of someone's
Speaker 1: criticism and have it be resounding, I think there you
Speaker 1: have it. Uh, why did the Democrats go through all this?
Speaker 1: You know they did this with Pompeio. Oh, we're gonna
Speaker 1: hold it up, and they're not gonna hold it up.
Speaker 1: What I really think they're gonna accomplish with Aspell. They
Speaker 1: make a lot of noise about this. Well, they're gonna
Speaker 1: end up getting somebody in the agency running it who
Speaker 1: was either there during this at a at a at
Speaker 1: a relatively senior, you know, level meeting that had occurred
Speaker 1: while the person was working there, or they're gonna bring
Speaker 1: somebody from the outside who feels like they're gonna say
Speaker 1: the same things that hospital said today, which is, I
Speaker 1: wouldn't allow this to happen again. He's holding the line
Speaker 1: for America. Buck Sexton is act. How the heck is
Speaker 1: it possible that NBC has come out? I mean, this
Speaker 1: is on believable. How is it possible at NBC has
Speaker 1: come out with the end results of their internal report
Speaker 1: and they have quote no evidence indicating any NBC News
Speaker 1: or Today Show Leadership, news HR or others in positions
Speaker 1: of authority in the News division received any complaints about
Speaker 1: Matt Lower's workplace behavior prior to November. This is after
Speaker 1: a month long internal probe. They really expect us to
Speaker 1: believe this? Huh By the way they went with they
Speaker 1: didn't go with like some big law firm for what
Speaker 1: I understand. I forget who it was that they brought in,
Speaker 1: but people were immediately like, uh, you know you had
Speaker 1: you have Tom Broke All recently or Tom Broke All
Speaker 1: the guard who's famous for murdering the news like no, uh,
Speaker 1: you've got him out there now, also accused multiple women
Speaker 1: or trom are polluting the the well. He hasn't pleaded
Speaker 1: the fit, so I won't you know, I won't put
Speaker 1: words in the men's mouth. But he's carn either convermed
Speaker 1: nor or not. You know, he's out there acting like,
Speaker 1: you know, no big deal, he's got this covered. Although
Speaker 1: I think the number of women that's always that's always
Speaker 1: a thing folks. When there's one, you know, you gotta think, ay,
Speaker 1: maybe this is paid back or this is some kind
Speaker 1: of you know, somebody wants to get a payout or
Speaker 1: you you just don't know. When there's a few and
Speaker 1: they're on the record and there names, it's like, this
Speaker 1: is a pattern. This is now Charlie Rose territory, and
Speaker 1: sometimes it even goes into Weinstein territories. We saw with
Speaker 1: Schneiderman so and then e C is also the same network,
Speaker 1: mind you, that killed the Weinstein story, one of the
Speaker 1: biggest news stories, one of the biggest journalistic bombshells to
Speaker 1: drop in Certainly, I think all of seen I think
Speaker 1: you could argue that the whole meat Too movement and
Speaker 1: the articles that led to it, other than the Russia
Speaker 1: Gate fantasy that the left has um, that was the
Speaker 1: only this was the only real break in that coverage.
Speaker 1: I can remember, right, it was Russia Gate, Russia Get
Speaker 1: all the time. Now it's Stormy Daniels on TV every
Speaker 1: five seconds. They're making Stormy Daniels one of the most
Speaker 1: famous people in the world. It's it's pretty astonishing when
Speaker 1: you think about it. This former adult film star, porn star, whatever,
Speaker 1: this former porn star is now becoming a highly recognizable
Speaker 1: and therefore marketable and monetizeable don't forget face because of
Speaker 1: CNN's efforts, among others, MSNBC two but you know NBC.
Speaker 1: So I'm just saying that they broke with the the
Speaker 1: wall to wall coverage of Russia collusion in order to
Speaker 1: give just a little bit of, uh, you know, a
Speaker 1: little bit of breathing room so they could run the
Speaker 1: stories on the Me Too movement Harvey Weinstein, because the
Speaker 1: Weinstein stuff was just it was jaw dropping. I remember
Speaker 1: I remember reading it thinking, my gosh, this guy's a mediac.
Speaker 1: He's a predator and a close friend of Hillary Clinton's,
Speaker 1: by the way, a bundler for the Clintons. Yeah, people
Speaker 1: heard the rumors. I think that Clintons heard the rumors too.
Speaker 1: But but NBC tried to kill that story because they
Speaker 1: didn't want to tackle Weinstein, and they also didn't want
Speaker 1: the second order implications of what that would mean you
Speaker 1: bring down Weinstein, a lot of very powerful people in
Speaker 1: the media industry who you'd have to say, hold on
Speaker 1: a second, Uh, what did they know about this? And
Speaker 1: and so there's it's covering for more than just you know,
Speaker 1: it's it's covering for more than just a connection from
Speaker 1: Weinstein to the Clintons. It's just it's the whole media
Speaker 1: apparatus out there now with NBC. Though. Yeah, Matt Lower
Speaker 1: who has apologized somewhat right he said, I think he
Speaker 1: said some of it was it was it was all consensual,
Speaker 1: because if it's not, you go to prison. So it
Speaker 1: was all consensual. But yeah, he probably shouldn't have been
Speaker 1: sleeping with interns, cheating on his wife with them, and
Speaker 1: all the rest of it. You know. Yeah, maybe when
Speaker 1: you're among the most powerful people in television news, if
Speaker 1: not the most powerful anchor for a number of years. Uh,
Speaker 1: maybe you shouldn't use your position to try and get
Speaker 1: people who work on your show or work for your
Speaker 1: company to sleep with you. Matt Lower, Yeah, that's that's
Speaker 1: not a big shock. Uh, but now here we are
Speaker 1: big internal review, bro call loer. You know these other
Speaker 1: names that make by the way, there are other names
Speaker 1: that may come up again in the future. I guess
Speaker 1: Charlie Charlie Rose is CBS so different. But they're saying
Speaker 1: there was nothing, nothing structural. You know what this is, folks.
Speaker 1: This is their corporate alibi. In effect, we didn't know,
Speaker 1: we didn't know, nobody knew, we didn't know. I think
Speaker 1: they're lying. Yep. I do not believe them. I do
Speaker 1: not think this is true. I know Andy Lack says
Speaker 1: that are sent out this bro. He's the guy who
Speaker 1: runs NBC, and he sent out the note on this
Speaker 1: one or the report on this And I'm sorry, it's
Speaker 1: just a little too convenient, a little too little, too
Speaker 1: easy that Oh yeah, there was no culture of sexual
Speaker 1: harassment that was covered up at NBC. There are. There
Speaker 1: are a couple of reasons why this is really big
Speaker 1: for them, Why I could from a standard of forget
Speaker 1: about scruples or principles, what's best for NBC. I can
Speaker 1: understand why they would lie. It makes sense for them
Speaker 1: to lie about this. Two big reasons. Ready for this
Speaker 1: we crack the knuckles as we dive into this one together.
Speaker 1: First one liability. It's one thing for a woman to
Speaker 1: come forward and say that so and so and I
Speaker 1: had a consensual relationship, but he was in a position
Speaker 1: of authority and come back years later. You can still
Speaker 1: get sued and they can still see the company. But
Speaker 1: in adds to the company's liability, and it's certainly going
Speaker 1: to add to the zeros of any settlements that comes out.
Speaker 1: By the way, some sexual harassment settlements are as we
Speaker 1: know from other networks and other other situations, can be enormous,
Speaker 1: you know, over eight figures kind of big, right, I mean,
Speaker 1: it's we're getting into the eight figures, double digit millie
Speaker 1: is what I'm trying to say. This is why Buck
Speaker 1: and math are just not not not making the magic happen.
Speaker 1: But they don't want the liability. So that's one part
Speaker 1: of Another part of it, this is the one that
Speaker 1: should keep in mind, is that NBC, which is the
Speaker 1: parent company of MSNBC s if NBC News and MSNBC,
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of crossover, and Brian Williams is
Speaker 1: over it MSNBC, but he used to be at NBC News. Well,
Speaker 1: hello America. There I was saving three Americans from Kim
Speaker 1: Jong on bare handed and carrying a lama. Oh I
Speaker 1: can't tell you the details of that story. Brian Williams
Speaker 1: is a humble man. So Williams is uh, you know,
Speaker 1: he bounces around now between those different networks. They're obviously related.
Speaker 1: They want to keep studying. They want to keep studying
Speaker 1: the or the issue. They want to keep covering the
Speaker 1: issue of the me too movement, and they want to
Speaker 1: do it in a way that people won't just turn
Speaker 1: around and say so when you run all these other stories,
Speaker 1: but other networks, one in particular that the Democrats really
Speaker 1: don't like and love to try to pile on and
Speaker 1: make sound as bad as possible. And when when you
Speaker 1: do all that, are people able to look at NBC
Speaker 1: and say, hey, at two NBC, that's right. Antiquities reference. Uh,
Speaker 1: that's what I think they're trying to avoid as well. Uh,
Speaker 1: they're gonna say hold on a second. It's gonna be
Speaker 1: harder for us to have these panels of oh, do
Speaker 1: see this this culture of sexual harassment at this other
Speaker 1: place when it's like you gotta clean your own house
Speaker 1: up there, NBC News houses glass, and not just because
Speaker 1: of the crappy, overpriced solar panels that cover it. Son.
Speaker 1: So that's what I think about the NBC News probe.
Speaker 1: Figured it was worth getting into a little bit of
Speaker 1: that there eight four four eight four buck back in
Speaker 1: the swamp. But we are safe and sound, my friends.
Speaker 1: You know why because we are in the Freedom Hut
Speaker 1: where all the freedom happens. Uh. Do call in also
Speaker 1: if you want to send me your thoughts if you're
Speaker 1: listening to the show later on podcasts. By the way,
Speaker 1: I'm hoping many, many, many of you will share this
Speaker 1: podcast with friends. Uh, just go to Facebook dot com
Speaker 1: slash buck Sexton and for the podcast on iTunes, The
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show. The Freedom Hut Show will be launching
Speaker 1: hopefully next week, so stay tuned for that one. We'll
Speaker 1: get that, we'll get that feed up. You can all
Speaker 1: start subscribing. That's gonna be the equivalent of Bucks sitting
Speaker 1: around with all of you, my friends and just just
Speaker 1: ripping through stuff. It's also I think just to sweeten
Speaker 1: the pot a little bit, and it probably shouldn't make
Speaker 1: these promises, but it's a once week so I can
Speaker 1: put it off. It's gonna be the home Economy Bear.
Speaker 1: It's also probably gonna be the home of Angus McManus,
Speaker 1: the belligerent Scottish bartender. It's also gonna be the home
Speaker 1: of Arianna Huffington's not the real one. So we have
Speaker 1: a lot, a lot that we will be getting to
Speaker 1: in that podcast. Stay with me. Much more to come.
Speaker 1: I want to talk to you in a few minutes
Speaker 1: about the legacy of the Trump administration when it comes
Speaker 1: to judges, and we see how important that is. But
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna hold off on that for a moment.
Speaker 1: That's gonna be coming up in an hour or two.
Speaker 1: I just I like to remind you because I'm really
Speaker 1: reminding myself that for all the days when I'm like,
Speaker 1: come on Trump like messaging discipline, and then I have
Speaker 1: to remind myself he's the guy that beat the Hillary machine.
Speaker 1: Uh you know, he's oh no, why why did he win?
Speaker 1: Makes her so sad? Sexism? Call me FBI Russia. I
Speaker 1: can do. I A should go to the whole list
Speaker 1: of all the reasons that Hillary didn't win the election,
Speaker 1: as as told by Hillary herself, it would be like
Speaker 1: a bedtime story to give you nightmares. Slave Tide. So
Speaker 1: here's what's happening. Oh well, like I said the judges,
Speaker 1: that's gonna come up in a few minutes, because there's
Speaker 1: a there's something that I I can't get beyond, and
Speaker 1: it's not important, but I like it, and we'll talk
Speaker 1: about it for a minute and then we'll get into judges.
Speaker 1: How is it possible that incredibly expensive movies that are
Speaker 1: made now by big studios can be so bad, and
Speaker 1: yet getting a movie made is near impossible for a
Speaker 1: vast mass, vast majority of the popular, not even majority,
Speaker 1: I mean, for you know, a tiny fraction of Americans
Speaker 1: really have any shot of getting their screenplay read by
Speaker 1: somebody who can talk to somebody who can put the
Speaker 1: money up to you know, it's this this really ornate,
Speaker 1: byzantine system of patronage and promises and who knows who,
Speaker 1: and you know, Hollywood all that stuff, and they make
Speaker 1: these movies that just suck. They are so bad. I
Speaker 1: tend to think of this when I've had plane rides. Right, So,
Speaker 1: that's why it's I've been flying back and forth Dallas
Speaker 1: in New York, so I that's when I get my
Speaker 1: Dallas to DC rather and that's when I get my
Speaker 1: a lot of my movie watching in. But in this case,
Speaker 1: I'm not even referring to one of the ones that
Speaker 1: I've seen recently. I know a lot of you agree.
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say this, a lot of you agreed
Speaker 1: with me that Don Kirk, it's a little boring. I've
Speaker 1: got to get off of speech, and it's really it's
Speaker 1: a little tension in the air. Got get off the beach.
Speaker 1: But because there's no boat for me, it's like, yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: I mean important story. I know massive, you know, the
Speaker 1: massive historical moment and all this stuff, But like after
Speaker 1: an hour or of it, it's like, still got a
Speaker 1: good Still got to get off the beach. It's literally dangerous.
Speaker 1: He's not looking good. You know, the whole United Kingdom
Speaker 1: make crumble if we don't get off the speech. It's like,
Speaker 1: come on, there's no love story. There's not a lot
Speaker 1: of action. The only saving grace in that movie where
Speaker 1: was the dog fighting scenes? Not with actual dogs. Obviously
Speaker 1: that's horrific. I mean, the planes, guys come on the planes. Uh,
Speaker 1: those are the ones that I'm that that's the scenes
Speaker 1: that I'm talking about. But that was really well done
Speaker 1: with that guy who's a phenomenal actor. I'm actually blanking
Speaker 1: on his name right now, but he's gonna he's in
Speaker 1: that show Taboo, which I'll be watching when it comes back. Anyway,
Speaker 1: the movie that got me really thinking about this. As
Speaker 1: you can tell, I have kind of I'm on a
Speaker 1: one man mission to to speak the truth about Christopher Nolan.
Speaker 1: He's just not that good. He's just not that good.
Speaker 1: I you know, you can call me crazy, but the
Speaker 1: Batman movies were overrated. It's just that they were way
Speaker 1: better than the Batman movies that had come before. But
Speaker 1: so this movie though, that that I just couldn't help.
Speaker 1: But uh, and you know, Drudge was linking this today
Speaker 1: a Wrinkle in Time, Okay, a franchise. So many people
Speaker 1: familiar with a Wrinkling Time from you know, from their childhood.
Speaker 1: You would think this is built in an Oprah. No
Speaker 1: less is a is a star in this movie. Reese
Speaker 1: Witherspoon's in it. Hey, And I was never I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna lie to you. Never really that big a fan,
Speaker 1: never really that that excited about the whole Reese Witherspoon situation.
Speaker 1: But well I can tell you is that this movie
Speaker 1: completely that we we guys give me a good sound
Speaker 1: effect for that next time my my bomb noise is not,
Speaker 1: I might as just go ka boom good funk likes
Speaker 1: too gold cob boom. Uh. England Time made thirty three
Speaker 1: million dollars in its opening weekend. UH. It had a
Speaker 1: combined production and marketing budget, because remember the opening weekend
Speaker 1: is like everything right that determines the momentum for it.
Speaker 1: And it has a combined budget of around a hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty million dollars. How is it possible outside of
Speaker 1: the federal government to spend a hundred and fifty million
Speaker 1: dollars and get nothing basically in response to waste a
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty billions. That's so much money. It's so
Speaker 1: much money they lost. According to Yahoo News here on
Speaker 1: this Wrinkling Time franchise, UH, they lost between eighty six
Speaker 1: million and a hundred and eighty six million. I wish
Speaker 1: that there was a way, and this is just a
Speaker 1: little dream of mine that you could actually bet on
Speaker 1: literally bet on these success, and I mean, like financially
Speaker 1: right place bets because I feel like that would be
Speaker 1: helpful because right now, these studios they've got these huge
Speaker 1: budgets and they all have these superhero movies, so they
Speaker 1: can cover up failure to some degree. But if they
Speaker 1: had some enormous budget, I'm sorry, if if they had
Speaker 1: some way that we could bet on the enormous budgets
Speaker 1: that they have that they're spending on these movies, I
Speaker 1: think we'll clean it up. Because this I saw the
Speaker 1: preview for this Wrinkle in Time thing, I'm like, well,
Speaker 1: that's a that's a turd. I mean, that is a
Speaker 1: a dried up goose turd of a movie. I'm sorry
Speaker 1: some of you are eating, but it really it's just
Speaker 1: so obviously bad. I mean, it was like Pluto Nash bad.
Speaker 1: It was like, oh gosh, Vanilla Sky bad. Yeah, that's right,
Speaker 1: I'm going there. Vanilla Sky was trash. But here it
Speaker 1: is it's still hard for Hollywood to take even storied
Speaker 1: franchises and make them into a decent viewing experience with
Speaker 1: budgets that are the size of small countries. GDP. Let's
Speaker 1: talk about Trump and the judges though, that's really important.
Speaker 1: It's gonna last for a very long time. It's changing
Speaker 1: a lot in the country around us. That's coming up.
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton permission decoding the news and disseminating information with
Speaker 1: actionable intelligence. Make no mistake, American. Let break You're a
Speaker 1: great American again. This is the buck Sexton Show. Analysts, No,
Speaker 1: you are now entering the Freedom Technical Operations Center. All
Speaker 1: sensitive programs must be kept strictly. Need to know Team
Speaker 1: Buck is cleared and ready for the Buck brief. Got
Speaker 1: breaking news for you. Syria has fired rockets and artillery
Speaker 1: into Israel, into the Golden Heights region, which is near
Speaker 1: syria southern border. It's been occupied by Israel since ninety seven.
Speaker 1: But you have a bunch of missiles or rockets rather
Speaker 1: fired off here and a clear show of defiance. The
Speaker 1: reporting says that this is from the Iranian i r
Speaker 1: g C, more specifically the the Kuds Force. So this
Speaker 1: is an important reminder that here we are with twenty
Speaker 1: four hours passing since the walk back that the Trump
Speaker 1: administration had from the Iran Deal, and Iranian forward deployed
Speaker 1: forces in Syria are firing off missiles at Israel. See
Speaker 1: this is why Iran continues to be a problem. It's
Speaker 1: not just what they're doing within the Iranian state. It's
Speaker 1: not just their quest for nuclear missiles. They're big spending
Speaker 1: into ballistic missiles since we signed the deal. Now there's
Speaker 1: also there's other consideration that we have to have right now,
Speaker 1: there's also these forward deployed proxy armies in places like
Speaker 1: Lebanon with has Balah, Syria, the Assad regime which is
Speaker 1: really a proxy in its entirety of the Iranian state
Speaker 1: um and there are others Wothy militia in Yemen, militia
Speaker 1: groups across Iraq. The Iranians have given themselves a strategic
Speaker 1: depth in recent years. So they fired off these missiles.
Speaker 1: People are going to say that this is raising tensions.
Speaker 1: It certainly is, these twenty rockets. I don't see that
Speaker 1: they have actually injured anyone, but the Israelis will know
Speaker 1: how to respond to this, and they have defense systems
Speaker 1: in places in place that can shoot down these rockets.
Speaker 1: But the day after the Iran deal came to a
Speaker 1: halt is a day that we see that this is
Speaker 1: a country that we cannot really make a pact with,
Speaker 1: a country we cannot trust it, can't allow it to
Speaker 1: just do as it wishes in its region or anywhere
Speaker 1: else around the world. In fact, there was video today
Speaker 1: of Iranian lawmakers, So not just random dudes on the street,
Speaker 1: not a bunch of just death to America, paid stooges
Speaker 1: who are out there for the cameras. Although these guys
Speaker 1: certainly looked like a bunch of clowns, they were in
Speaker 1: parliament where they started trying to and after a little difficulty,
Speaker 1: were able to burn an American flag. And here's how
Speaker 1: that went. And play the clip. Please, oh god, you
Speaker 1: get the idea that to America, that to America burning flags.
Speaker 1: They're there parliament, folks. It does force the question, doesn't it.
Speaker 1: Where are these moderates we hear about Rohani the moderate?
Speaker 1: The true power in the regime is the Mullah's. It's
Speaker 1: the theocracy, and it's what's known as the Guardian Council.
Speaker 1: There is not some other democratic force that's at the
Speaker 1: top or anywhere near the power centers of the Iranian regime.
Speaker 1: So moderates. This is the one of the hot takes
Speaker 1: that you'll see popping up all over the buzzs. Oh,
Speaker 1: how could Trump do this? How could Trump be so mean?
Speaker 1: And nasty to pull out of this Iran deal. He's
Speaker 1: empowering the Iranian hardliners. That's a complete misunderstanding, misstatement. I
Speaker 1: don't know if it's alive. People actually know better. There's
Speaker 1: no moderates that were empowered by this. The Obama administration
Speaker 1: made the deal with hardliners because hardliners run the country.
Speaker 1: National Security Advisor Bolton was getting into some of the
Speaker 1: details today, said, look, they're spending money on missiles. They're
Speaker 1: doing that for one reason, one reason. Only play cliped
Speaker 1: four and you know, want to Ryan, threat that you
Speaker 1: didn't mention this morning that they've made is to increase
Speaker 1: spending on their ballistic missile program, which was never covered
Speaker 1: by the Iran nuclear deal. Now, why do they want
Speaker 1: more ballistic missiles? I can assure you it's not to
Speaker 1: launch weather satellites or communications satellites. This is how they
Speaker 1: deliver nuclear weapons. And I think it shows where the
Speaker 1: regime really is YEP. And now we will see if
Speaker 1: the regime what the regime does well, they will have
Speaker 1: a choice here. The Iranians are gonna have a choice.
Speaker 1: You can have a recovering and then growing economy, or
Speaker 1: you can have a nuclear weapons program. But there's not
Speaker 1: gonna be a future in which you have both of
Speaker 1: those things, or at least we're gonna do everything we
Speaker 1: can to prevent the Iranian state from having both of
Speaker 1: those things. One other point that I think it's so lost. Heyres,
Speaker 1: this isn't President Trump withdrawing from a Senate ratified treaty.
Speaker 1: There's a reason why the Senate is supposed to ratify
Speaker 1: treaties because think of it this way. Every president has
Speaker 1: his own or her own, well his own up to
Speaker 1: this point, foreign policy goals and mission and approach. We
Speaker 1: know that presidents disagree on what should be done overseas.
Speaker 1: We know that presidents are going to have their own agendas.
Speaker 1: They don't mean that in a bad way necessarily, but
Speaker 1: they're gonna have their own approach to these things. Why
Speaker 1: would one president be tied down by the promises to
Speaker 1: whether states made by the one before him. Doesn't really
Speaker 1: make any sense when you play this out. It's not
Speaker 1: possible to quote, keep the promises made by Obama in
Speaker 1: this regard without surrendering some of Trump's abilities as commander
Speaker 1: in chief. I thought that was interesting. Jim Accosta over
Speaker 1: at CNN, you know, the big j journalists who's also
Speaker 1: part of the hashtag resistance. He wrote that Obama policies
Speaker 1: dumped by Trump the Iran Deal, the Paris Climate Agreement,
Speaker 1: Transpacific Trade Deal DOCCA, and the Obamacare individual mandate. And
Speaker 1: look at some of these, the Iran Deal, Paris Climate
Speaker 1: Agreement DOCCA, that's just the President deciding, as he said
Speaker 1: very openly, he's gonna go around. Congress doesn't care what
Speaker 1: actually the American people particularly want any point time. Congress
Speaker 1: are supposed to be representative of are supposed to represent
Speaker 1: the American people. That's why they have the power of
Speaker 1: the legislature and the power of the purse. They write laws,
Speaker 1: and they take stuff from us and spend it. It's
Speaker 1: not up to Obama just decide what the long term
Speaker 1: foreign policy agreements of this country are going to be.
Speaker 1: And in some of those cases, very clearly Paris, the
Speaker 1: Paris Climate Agreement, in the Iran Deal, DOTA, Congress specifically
Speaker 1: chose not to do what the president United States did.
Speaker 1: It's not that it wasn't in their authority. It's not
Speaker 1: they never thought about it before. It was, you know what,
Speaker 1: We're just not into this sorry Paris Climate Deal. We're
Speaker 1: just not that into you. That's what this was. So
Speaker 1: how could it really be such a shock and a
Speaker 1: surprise that Trump's gonna come in and say, you know what,
Speaker 1: I don't think the Iran deal is working out. We're
Speaker 1: not gonna do it. People are saying, oh, our allies,
Speaker 1: they're all so upset. Well, first of all, regional allies
Speaker 1: are not so upset. Israel is not upset. Saudi Arabia
Speaker 1: is not upset. The U a e Is not upset.
Speaker 1: The people most likely to have to deal with an emboldened,
Speaker 1: more powerful, more militaristic, and nuclear threshold Iran. They don't
Speaker 1: think this is um. They're not like, oh, how good
Speaker 1: Trump do this to us? Yeah, the French, the Brits,
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's some other Western European powers who always
Speaker 1: like to get a little stuffed chest about things going
Speaker 1: on in the Mid East, you know, a little puffed out.
Speaker 1: Oh we we know what's really the way to do.
Speaker 1: Let go back and look at the history of the
Speaker 1: British and the French in the Middle East. They had
Speaker 1: no idea what the heck they're doing. Mistake after mistake
Speaker 1: after mistake. We're supposed to listen to them like they're
Speaker 1: the voice of reason on this. Please. So I think
Speaker 1: that we're seeing more clearly now as a country what
Speaker 1: we're really dealing with with the Iranians because of the
Speaker 1: way they've responded to all of this, and the Trump
Speaker 1: administration is now in a position to get a good deal,
Speaker 1: to actually do this the way that it should be done.
Speaker 1: And I think that things are looking things are looking
Speaker 1: up in that regard. I can't say it's gonna be
Speaker 1: easy against it's going to be certain, but at least
Speaker 1: now there at least I'm telling you there's a chance,
Speaker 1: and it's not one in a million telling you there
Speaker 1: is a chance. Here we will see, oh, one more
Speaker 1: thing from Bolton here, he's just saying this, this is
Speaker 1: not gonna be our promises. It's gonna be not even
Speaker 1: trust the Iranians and verified, it's gonna be verified. Negotiate
Speaker 1: and verify, and then we'll see where we are. Play three.
Speaker 1: When the President signed the Decision Memoranum yesterday, he began
Speaker 1: the process to put very strict U S sanctions back
Speaker 1: into effect that will have a significant ripple effect on
Speaker 1: Iran's economy. Uh. And I think it demonstrates that we're
Speaker 1: determined that we're not going to rely on paper promises.
Speaker 1: We're gonna rely on real performance to stop Iran from
Speaker 1: getting deliverable nuclear weapons. That's the goal here, that's what
Speaker 1: we are trying to do. So I think that a
Speaker 1: renewed focus on it is certainly worth well. Eight four
Speaker 1: four to five Team eight buck. We've got a lot
Speaker 1: more coming up. I want to get to our sponsor
Speaker 1: of this half hour, which is Global Verification Network. Global
Speaker 1: Verification they are in the background investigation and vetting business,
Speaker 1: and they're the best in the business. They are federally
Speaker 1: certified as a veteran owned small business. They're headquartered here
Speaker 1: in Chicago, and unlike a lot of the other people
Speaker 1: in the space, they're not some huge, faceless corporation where
Speaker 1: you're gonna call and sit on hold. Because if you
Speaker 1: need an answer about whether you can hire somebody, whether
Speaker 1: you can bring on new people to your staff, bring
Speaker 1: on a major new client without taking on some serious risks,
Speaker 1: guess what you want somebody who's gonna answer that call,
Speaker 1: and who's gonna make sure your data is stored here
Speaker 1: in the States, that people working on the cases here
Speaker 1: in the States as well. Call eight seven seven six
Speaker 1: nine five seven nine. That's eight seven seven six nine
Speaker 1: five one one seven nine. Or go to my g
Speaker 1: VN dot com. That's my g VN dot com for
Speaker 1: all your background investigation and vetting need Global Verification Network.
Speaker 1: Leave no stone on turn. They have a new ad
Speaker 1: that they put out after you said you thought you
Speaker 1: were gonna win the majority that says that you would
Speaker 1: like to institute a single payer healthcare program and cancel
Speaker 1: raise taxes. I think they mean roll back the tax
Speaker 1: cuts that they passed this year. Is that? What do
Speaker 1: you think about the second part there? I do think
Speaker 1: that we should revisit the tax legislation. We should revisit
Speaker 1: tax legislation. Nancy Pelosi, you are just one big in
Speaker 1: kind donation to the GOP, the best thing that we
Speaker 1: can have. You know, I got a fever and the
Speaker 1: only prescription is more Pelosi. I want. I want her
Speaker 1: out there talking about how the American people just got crumbs,
Speaker 1: how the unemployment rate being so low. It's just it's
Speaker 1: mean because now it means that people that don't have
Speaker 1: jobs feel even worse because so a few other people
Speaker 1: don't have jobs. Relatively speaking. I don't know. I'm just
Speaker 1: making up stuff because Pelosi is clearly opposed to what's
Speaker 1: going on right now, does not like the the trajectory
Speaker 1: of the country and the way things are going. So
Speaker 1: let's get her out there, folks. Let's have her talking
Speaker 1: about this because while she's Oh, I didn't know, I
Speaker 1: didn't even know who the announcer was there. But he
Speaker 1: kind of caught himself. It was a classic, a classic
Speaker 1: Democrat move, caught himself with the whole Oh no, it's
Speaker 1: not that you want to raise taxes, you want to
Speaker 1: roll back the tax cuts. You see this, This is
Speaker 1: just fighting over where there where the center line of
Speaker 1: the field is. Right. Oh no, it's we're not We're
Speaker 1: not moving it. We're just moving it back to where
Speaker 1: it was before they play these games. I saw somebody
Speaker 1: else that had it was a really interesting tweet from
Speaker 1: over the last day or so, saying he wondered how
Speaker 1: many people had stopped voting Democrat just because of how
Speaker 1: annoying they are when it comes to language policing, and
Speaker 1: not even necessarily PC language policing, but just they have
Speaker 1: this tendency to always want to correct everyone else's language
Speaker 1: because they're changing the language all the time and I
Speaker 1: think that that's a fair point. I think it's probably true.
Speaker 1: Memory serves. It was actually a Democrat raising it that
Speaker 1: democrats actually lose points on the board, they have fewer
Speaker 1: people voting for them because they're so annoying, because they
Speaker 1: are really annoying just a fact. Say oh no, you
Speaker 1: can't say that. You have to say this, you can't
Speaker 1: say that, use this word. What about discussing the actual
Speaker 1: issues involved with something like taxation? Do we not pay
Speaker 1: enough in taxes? Really they didn't think that's the case.
Speaker 1: And one day we're gonna have to sit around and
Speaker 1: actually talk about the deficit. But that's another time, and
Speaker 1: the debt. According to a CNN poll just out today,
Speaker 1: eighty percent of every single demographic says the economy will
Speaker 1: be extremely or very important to their mid term. This
Speaker 1: is where political analysts who don't believe there is such
Speaker 1: a thing as a cliche would start to say, it's
Speaker 1: the economy stupid. Yeah, we know, right, it's always the
Speaker 1: economy stupid. But it's true, it matters. It's important. People
Speaker 1: want to feel prosperity. They want to think that their
Speaker 1: future will be better than their yesterday, and that their
Speaker 1: children's future will be better, and the economy is the
Speaker 1: single best indicator of that mentality. Guess what economy is
Speaker 1: really good right now? So what do the Democrats are
Speaker 1: really gonna do? Are they gonna run on Russia? They're
Speaker 1: gonna run on payments to Stormy Daniels or to Cohen.
Speaker 1: I welcome that campaign. They they've learned nothing since the
Speaker 1: last election. Look, it's gonna be June pretty soon, then
Speaker 1: we're gonna be We're gonna be leaning right into the
Speaker 1: mid terms and and the fight for control of the Congress.
Speaker 1: They can put Stormy Daniels up on CNN fifty times
Speaker 1: today for the rest of rest of all time. It's
Speaker 1: not going to actually win them the election. And when
Speaker 1: I hear the polos's out there, I just think, what's
Speaker 1: the what is their economic message right now? You know,
Speaker 1: say what you will about Republicans. After Obamacare got past,
Speaker 1: they were like, this is really bad. We really oppose
Speaker 1: Obamacare for all these reasons, and we remember what happened
Speaker 1: in the mid terms. What's what a Democrats think is
Speaker 1: gonna be their issue. They're gonna run on the American
Speaker 1: people have more money. American people have have tax cuts
Speaker 1: that has put more has put more in their bank accounts.
Speaker 1: The jobs are surging, unemployments at historic lows. It's pretty
Speaker 1: amazing we think about it. This is what they're going for,
Speaker 1: This is what they think they can win on. But yeah,
Speaker 1: they don't war. It's just like Hillary. Maybe we're a
Speaker 1: little too hard on Hillary. You are, but maybe we're
Speaker 1: a little too hard on her because it's mean, okay, okay, easy, easy,
Speaker 1: calm down. Uh. I don't know if she's necessarily much
Speaker 1: more delusional than the rank and file of the Democrat Party.
Speaker 1: I don't know that that's a fair thing to say.
Speaker 1: I don't know that's the case. Maybe there are a
Speaker 1: lot of Democrats. I think that Trump cheated and that's
Speaker 1: why he wanted. Oh when you say it out loud,
Speaker 1: it starts to ring more true, doesn't it. They don't
Speaker 1: have to change anything. They can just run the same
Speaker 1: old tired candidates, same old class warfare, nonsense identity politics.
Speaker 1: Just try to rely on the same buttons that they've
Speaker 1: pushed in the past and see if they can make
Speaker 1: it happen this time. They do not understand that Trump
Speaker 1: has actually changed the landscape. They can run all the Uh,
Speaker 1: the alleged mistress stories they want. Trump voters aren't like,
Speaker 1: oh I'm out, I'm done Now I've had I've had
Speaker 1: enough of all this economic prosperity and optimism about America
Speaker 1: at home and abroad. No, yeah, I've had enough of that.
Speaker 1: Let's let's bring back some of the Democrat retreads. I
Speaker 1: saw today that they're thinking it's a pretty open field
Speaker 1: for I think we've all got to think it's an
Speaker 1: open field for the Democrats. I had no idea what
Speaker 1: they think they're gonna pull off. But we got time
Speaker 1: before we have to think too much about that one.
Speaker 1: Pelos's out there making the case for her side, and
Speaker 1: it's not a good one. It is not a strong
Speaker 1: one at all. I you know what, I'm just gonna
Speaker 1: get into the California solar panel thing. But because that's
Speaker 1: just amazing, this just happened today. It finally was passed
Speaker 1: today by the California state Legislature. I guess whoever signs
Speaker 1: it in the law over there, you have to have
Speaker 1: solar panels on the roof of your house now half too.
Speaker 1: But let me put that out as a teaser, because
Speaker 1: I also want to discuss judges. Because while I'm sitting
Speaker 1: here running off a whole bunch of things that's gonna
Speaker 1: be that are gonna be really difficult for Democrats to
Speaker 1: overcome if they want to win in the mid term.
Speaker 1: There's another thing that's going on behind the scenes, and
Speaker 1: actually a bunch of judges are up this week that
Speaker 1: shows that those of us who were willing to even
Speaker 1: if we had some, you know, some questions about some
Speaker 1: of the stuff that had gone on with the Trump
Speaker 1: campaign in terms of it's not your typical politician, and
Speaker 1: the whole Gorcier's phenomenon is much bigger actually, because federal
Speaker 1: judges at the lower court levels play a very big
Speaker 1: role in all kinds of decisions, and Trump is getting
Speaker 1: it done there just about all the Democrat obstruction and
Speaker 1: they're doing there. They're at the point now, I mean
Speaker 1: the Democrats in Congress are like, I'm just gonna take
Speaker 1: a really long partty break, so we can't do any business.
Speaker 1: You can't make me go potty faster. I mean, they
Speaker 1: are slowing it down in every way they can as
Speaker 1: much as they can. No good faith whatsoever. No oh,
Speaker 1: let's govern better, none of that. So I'm gonna talk
Speaker 1: to you about the situation with Judges and then a
Speaker 1: whole bunch of other Oh and the Caliph warn your panels,
Speaker 1: California Solar panels, that's coming up. He's back with you
Speaker 1: now because when it comes to the fight for truth,
Speaker 1: the fuck never stops. Welcome back to the Buck Sexton Show. Everyone,
Speaker 1: Glad to have you here as always. It's uh, it's
Speaker 1: a little tough because I got a little nostalgic when
Speaker 1: I was down in Dallas. I got to see the
Speaker 1: the one and only Glenn Beck, my original. He's really
Speaker 1: the in a sense that the founder of Buck Radio. Now,
Speaker 1: if we're really going to talk about this, he was
Speaker 1: the one who gave me my first radio show. Um,
Speaker 1: and uh, he was a he was original. He was
Speaker 1: original Saturday Squad before that was even a thing. Because
Speaker 1: he was the guy that was letting me, you know,
Speaker 1: do a show at the Blaze Network. It was just
Speaker 1: great to go down and see all the Blaze folks
Speaker 1: and the chat with them. That was a lot of
Speaker 1: fun and I enjoyed it. Now I'm back. You're in
Speaker 1: this swamp working on my amazing, super secret project that
Speaker 1: you all are gonna love once it comes out. I
Speaker 1: can't give you more. Next week is the announcement week,
Speaker 1: just so you know, that's when I can. I am.
Speaker 1: I believe the powers that be have told me that
Speaker 1: I can finally stop just dropping these hints about, Oh,
Speaker 1: you know where I've got this thing I'm doing. It's
Speaker 1: really cool, tell you all about it, but I can't
Speaker 1: tell you yet. So next week we'll be making that announcement,
Speaker 1: and in the meantime, I gotta figure out where I'm
Speaker 1: gonna live. There's it's tough when you're in d C. Because,
Speaker 1: on the one hand, I am when it comes to commuting,
Speaker 1: I am lazy. I do not like to have to
Speaker 1: go long distances. I'm just I've done it before. I
Speaker 1: just don't like doing it, which means that I'll have
Speaker 1: to be in the district. But if you live in
Speaker 1: Virginia you get to own firearms. This is the thing
Speaker 1: because you can in d C. Still, it's had total
Speaker 1: a total mass. If you try so, I'll up at
Speaker 1: you on those those trials and tribulations as they come along.
Speaker 1: And right now, guys, I am. I am Team bucks
Speaker 1: Man in the district. That's that's how I'm rolling. Speaking
Speaker 1: of the district, let's talk about district judges as in
Speaker 1: federal courts. Oh, look at that transition. Buck's got all
Speaker 1: kinds of skills. Um, this is an important piece. Though.
Speaker 1: I saw Cuomo. Why are you reading my tweets? Not
Speaker 1: that Quomo, the other Cuomo. He I'm a see an
Speaker 1: m bro Hey, do you even lift Cuomo? That Cuomo
Speaker 1: he tweeted this out. I think he went to law
Speaker 1: school somewhere. I don't know where. I'm being serious. I
Speaker 1: think he actually is a lawyer. But he was talking
Speaker 1: about or he was sharing an article today about how
Speaker 1: the judiciary Good Heavens is becoming more conservative. Wow, what
Speaker 1: a shocker. When you have a president who is Republican,
Speaker 1: he is in fact able to put federal judges who
Speaker 1: serve life terms. That sounds like they're at shawsh Ankin
Speaker 1: in prison or something. But you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: They serve until they decide not to serve, or you
Speaker 1: know they are no longer with us. Uh So it's
Speaker 1: the remaking of the federal judiciary is something that we
Speaker 1: don't It's not a it's not a sexy story. Right
Speaker 1: wherever you are across the country, you know, Texas, California,
Speaker 1: New York, Nebraska, North Carolina, Florida. I'm just naming states now, right, Ohio, Montana,
Speaker 1: wherever you are. Uh, federal judges matter, they matter. They
Speaker 1: have a tremendous amount of power and authority. In fact,
Speaker 1: federal judges do have some ability. They do have some
Speaker 1: ability to be the pinnacle of the or at least
Speaker 1: the vanguard of the anti Trump resistance. And the legacy
Speaker 1: of the Obama administration with the federal judiciary was that
Speaker 1: you had about a third of judges in the circuit court. Now,
Speaker 1: so those federal district judges are Obama appointees, about a
Speaker 1: third of them. It's a lot, right, that's uh, that
Speaker 1: is a considerable chunk of all the federal judges out there.
Speaker 1: And they stay way beyond Obama's two terms, right they go,
Speaker 1: they'll they'll be on the bench, some of them twenty
Speaker 1: thirty years maybe more. I don't know how young the
Speaker 1: youngest federal judges, but you know what I'm saying, and
Speaker 1: that means that when you have states that try to assert,
Speaker 1: you know, constitutional rights, or when you have these disputes
Speaker 1: that come up about immigration, about the enforcement of our border,
Speaker 1: but all these federal judges get to weigh in. So
Speaker 1: It is really really important that the Trump administration keep
Speaker 1: doing what it's doing, and that's what this article is about,
Speaker 1: which is packing the courts with people that actually believe
Speaker 1: in the law and constitution, also known as conservatives when
Speaker 1: we're talking about judges. Here's the Reuters report on this.
Speaker 1: As President Donald Trump pursues his goal of making the
Speaker 1: federal judiciary more conservative, his fellow Republicans who control the
Speaker 1: Senate are poised to confirm another batch of his picks
Speaker 1: for influential US appeals courts, to the dismay of some Democrats.
Speaker 1: The Senate this week is said to take up six
Speaker 1: of Trump's nominees to the regional appeals. These are appeals
Speaker 1: courts judges actually, including four from states that have at
Speaker 1: least one Democratic senator. A longstanding Senate tradition that gave
Speaker 1: senators clout over judicial nominees from their home states has
Speaker 1: been fraying four years, meaning Democrats have less chance of
Speaker 1: blocking appointees. This is so dishonest. It's been fraying for years. Nah, No,
Speaker 1: that's not what happened. Democrats took a battle axe to it.
Speaker 1: Remember Harry Reid the nuclear option. Oh yeah, that's right. Oh, dude,
Speaker 1: that's crazy, Like now now because democratss wanted to court
Speaker 1: pack when they had Obama's president. Now they don't want
Speaker 1: Republicans to do that. Like, wow, yes, that is exactly
Speaker 1: what this is. They changed the rules. It was shortsighted.
Speaker 1: It was dirty pool at the time. But that's how
Speaker 1: Harry Reid like to play the game, as we know.
Speaker 1: And now the shoe was on the other foot, and
Speaker 1: Democrats are all, oh, but but the hypocrisy, hypocrisy, wine, wine, wine,
Speaker 1: that's what's going on here. You know. You can either
Speaker 1: you can either play by mutually agreed upon rules in
Speaker 1: the Senate, or you can decide that when the going
Speaker 1: is good for your team, you're gonna blow out the
Speaker 1: other one and forget about it. Forget about it. No,
Speaker 1: this is no good. Well actually it's good now for us.
Speaker 1: But their attitude to this is complete another bunk um.
Speaker 1: You have all these different judges and I don't even
Speaker 1: get into this the specifics of these Appeals Court nominees
Speaker 1: other than just to say this is a reminder when
Speaker 1: I start to feel a little bit like Trump, come on, like,
Speaker 1: gotta get you to do some stuff. It's not but
Speaker 1: Gorsitch which is something that a lot of never Trumpers
Speaker 1: throw out there and say to be mean, right, to
Speaker 1: be denigrating to our side. Oh but Gorslich. Actually it's
Speaker 1: but Gorstitch and a whole lot of federal judges who
Speaker 1: will be making all kinds of rulings and creating case
Speaker 1: law that matter. And if it is constitutionally sound, if
Speaker 1: it is rooted in individual rights and liberty, and a
Speaker 1: jurisprudence of the law is actually what is written on
Speaker 1: the page as the law, not whatever some progressive activists
Speaker 1: in a judge's robe thinks it is. Then this is
Speaker 1: good for all of us. This is good for the country,
Speaker 1: and this is a legacy of the Trump administration that
Speaker 1: will continue on for a very long time. So I
Speaker 1: just want to note that Cuomo sharing this is a
Speaker 1: reminder of some of what's going on with Trump that's
Speaker 1: good that you don't hear much about, but really does
Speaker 1: have an impact over the long term. It's really gonna
Speaker 1: make a difference. Uh, eight four four d Buck team,
Speaker 1: if you want to call on eight four four to
Speaker 1: eight to five. I have so much more show. I
Speaker 1: mean today it's like I am in the swamp and
Speaker 1: I am dripping with content. So if you want to
Speaker 1: know what it is, you have to just stay right there,
Speaker 1: or or you could also call in and tell me
Speaker 1: something you would like me to talk about, and uh,
Speaker 1: stay right there, please. Got some exciting news for you
Speaker 1: from the left coast California, which would have one of
Speaker 1: the top ten economies in the world if it were
Speaker 1: it's own country instead of a state. Thirty five million
Speaker 1: people now, so I'm like that a lot a lot
Speaker 1: of folks in California. California is now the first state
Speaker 1: in the country official as of today, first in the
Speaker 1: country that will have all homes, all homes and apartments
Speaker 1: built after the year gonna have to have solar panels.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be like, totally amazing, bro, It's gonna be phenomenal. Cowabunga.
Speaker 1: They're gonna do all kinds of great things with solar
Speaker 1: out there in California. Not it's uh okay, I st
Speaker 1: off with the eighties surfer stuff. So here's a problem.
Speaker 1: There are a bunch of problems. One is that it's
Speaker 1: this great idea. Why isn't it everywhere? Why isn't solar
Speaker 1: the only energy technology we use? And the answer is
Speaker 1: that it's expensive and inefficient. There's this thing called the market.
Speaker 1: People have to pay for things. Solar energy is really expensive.
Speaker 1: And the way that some counties immunicipalities have set up
Speaker 1: their solar feeds in the past, you basically endop subsidizing
Speaker 1: their solar energy. How does that make any sense? Well,
Speaker 1: it doesn't. But this is do good heurism in place
Speaker 1: of science, pretending to be scientifically sound or virtue signaling
Speaker 1: via solar panel. I thought it would be the California
Speaker 1: State legislature, by the way, I was wrong on that one.
Speaker 1: It was actually a unanimous five oh vote today from
Speaker 1: the California Energy Commission. I wonder how many folks in
Speaker 1: the California Energy Commission have a DVD of Al Gore's
Speaker 1: An Inconvenient Truth in their home, in their possession somewhere.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna guess all of them. I wonder how many
Speaker 1: of them if you ask them were like, hey, what
Speaker 1: do you think of Al Gore? They would say he's
Speaker 1: a genius in a visionary despite the fact that his
Speaker 1: it was called actually I've never heard this before, it
Speaker 1: was called apocalypse porn on the show Sila con Valley
Speaker 1: Reflayh they're they're making fun of al Gore. I was
Speaker 1: proud of them. We're making fun of al Gore. They
Speaker 1: actually went they actually went there, they did it made
Speaker 1: fun of him. But the five O vote means that
Speaker 1: now all these homes after twenty a half to have
Speaker 1: solar panels. Now you're probably wondering, buck, what's that? Actually
Speaker 1: a lot of you're not wondering. You're like, wow, thanks
Speaker 1: for California, the flood of people. Sorry, Texas, Hey, Austin,
Speaker 1: you guys better make some room because you're gonna have
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of Californians that are gonna be showing
Speaker 1: up that are gonna try to bring all the things
Speaker 1: that ruined California to state government in Texas and certainly
Speaker 1: city government in Austin. People say Austin says keep keep
Speaker 1: Austin weird. I was just keep Portland's weird. Do they
Speaker 1: both have to keep this place weird as a slogan? Anyway,
Speaker 1: Just be ready, you're gonna have a lot of migrants
Speaker 1: from California showing up in Texas, Nevada, a couple other
Speaker 1: places come to mind. They love Austin though I know that,
Speaker 1: so on my on folks listening down on k l
Speaker 1: b J getting ready for all the Californians to show up.
Speaker 1: Surfs up, dude, hang ten. I don't know how well
Speaker 1: that works on Lake Travis, but I'm sure that there's
Speaker 1: probably some waves sometimes. Uh, it's gonna add some costs,
Speaker 1: no surprise there, all right, it's going to add ten
Speaker 1: thousand dollars to the construction costs for a single family home. Now,
Speaker 1: you could say all about over the over the life
Speaker 1: of a home if you, let's say you get a
Speaker 1: thirty year mortgage on an average home in the US.
Speaker 1: Is producer Mike fact checking on this one. I think
Speaker 1: the average home in the US and as of last
Speaker 1: year is probably a hundred and sixty thousand, maybe a
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy thousand or something like that. Maybe is
Speaker 1: that the median or the mean, I'm not sure, but
Speaker 1: it's around so it's roughly two dollars what a new
Speaker 1: home costs on average. I think I think that's right.
Speaker 1: You're right on. It's a technically Bam, look at Buck,
Speaker 1: I just pull this stuff out of nowhere. Reading is fundamental, everybody,
Speaker 1: very important. The more you know remember those commercials, the
Speaker 1: more you know what was that It was for a
Speaker 1: good cause. I forget what it was. I think it's
Speaker 1: for about reading. Actually anyway, uh ten dollars single family
Speaker 1: home construction. And they're saying that they're gonna save much
Speaker 1: more an energy costs. Well, we'll have to see. We'll
Speaker 1: have to see about that. You see, because the way
Speaker 1: this ends up working, this crazy thing called sunlight. You
Speaker 1: need and you don't always have sunlight, as you were
Speaker 1: all quite aware the sun, you know, the Earth Copernicus,
Speaker 1: These things spin, they move around on axes and all that, right,
Speaker 1: and so at some point there's dark. And that was
Speaker 1: a really that was an incredibly articulate astronomical description description there, buck,
Speaker 1: don't quit your day job. There's but the the sun
Speaker 1: and the sun and the moon and the stars. No,
Speaker 1: the sun isn't always around. You go at nighttime, it's dark,
Speaker 1: very obvious stuff. You're not getting solar power when it's dark.
Speaker 1: When do most people It's a fun little little riddle
Speaker 1: for you, when do most people use most of their electricity? Granted,
Speaker 1: air conditioning in the summer is hot and place, but
Speaker 1: generally speaking, when are most people using the most electricity
Speaker 1: during the week, especially when there's gonna be They're gonna
Speaker 1: be in their offices during the day, folks. Oh, that's right,
Speaker 1: night time, that's when the lights go on. That's when
Speaker 1: the TVs go on. That's when you know, all these
Speaker 1: things happen at night when you use most of your power.
Speaker 1: If you have electric heat, which I know I think
Speaker 1: some places do, right, electricity for heat, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know much about this, um natural gas. Whatever.
Speaker 1: The point is, you need to be able to store
Speaker 1: that energy somewhere. So now you're talking about batteries. Who
Speaker 1: makes the batteries for those solar solar units that are
Speaker 1: gonna go up on these houses? But Tesla does, don't they?
Speaker 1: The darling of the California legislature and and the taxpayers
Speaker 1: all kinds of breaks there, I'm sure. Ah. So, so
Speaker 1: this is why the technology is really not that useful,
Speaker 1: because not only do you need do you have solar
Speaker 1: energy that needs to be then stored, but also you
Speaker 1: could only operate solar, you're only using solar for a
Speaker 1: portion of the day. Those batteries, by the way, very
Speaker 1: expensive solar arrays themselves are very costly for the environment.
Speaker 1: For those who care so much about the environment. But
Speaker 1: this is this is about the this is Nanni statism.
Speaker 1: Run them up. This is what you're going to see
Speaker 1: more of, gonna drive up costs great time. I guess
Speaker 1: to be a solar I'd be really curious see who
Speaker 1: is investing in certain solar companies that have big market
Speaker 1: share in California, because this is one of those things
Speaker 1: that solar is a bad investment generally for folks, has
Speaker 1: been for long time. Uh, But all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna see some solar companies doing quite
Speaker 1: well in California because the government says so, not because
Speaker 1: the market says so. Am I also just allowed to
Speaker 1: say the same way that I have an objection to
Speaker 1: win power because they're just esthetically really displeasing to have
Speaker 1: these big windmill looking things, these big fans, these arrays
Speaker 1: of these fans, and also, as I've said before, they
Speaker 1: are giant queens and arts for migratory foul go right
Speaker 1: and they go right in all of a sudden, nothing
Speaker 1: left with feathers. It's bad. They kill lots of birds.
Speaker 1: I'm bigger. They actually killed bald the eagles. It's sad, man,
Speaker 1: it's sad. Those big wind power turbines you see, um,
Speaker 1: but solar also, I mean, solar panels are rugly. I'm
Speaker 1: just gonna say it, Dudne have all these houses, California
Speaker 1: is all these sort of huscienda style homes or whatever
Speaker 1: you call the stuff that looks like it's from south
Speaker 1: of the border. You know, all these beautiful architectural Oh no,
Speaker 1: let's let's slab a bunch of solar black solar panels
Speaker 1: on everything. That's gonna be great. We're gonna look back
Speaker 1: at this and say, I wonder if the problem is
Speaker 1: California is not going to flip away from this until
Speaker 1: they've had to suffer through it, so it's gonna be
Speaker 1: too late. By the time they realize how done this is.
Speaker 1: We'll all have to say. But yeah, California, dude, we're
Speaker 1: gonna get solar panels everywhere. It's gonna be amazing. Well,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be expensive. It is what it's gonna be,
Speaker 1: and not very efficient as a means of generating electricity.
Speaker 1: But you know what, do I know, I'm just a
Speaker 1: guy who reads things. Third Hour coming up so much more.
Speaker 1: Stay right there, Team buck Sexton mission decoding the news
Speaker 1: and disseminating information with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake American rank,
Speaker 1: You're a great American Again. This is the buck Sexton Show,
Speaker 1: analysts d buck Sexty Team. I sometimes bring up a
Speaker 1: story here on the show and bring up a topic,
Speaker 1: and then later on it's like, Wow, I'm not saying
Speaker 1: I caused this thing to happen, but it does feel
Speaker 1: kind of like it's just a funky coincidence. Who could
Speaker 1: have thought, I don't know what it was. Maybe a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, I said, why is it that
Speaker 1: hip hop music is completely exempt from all of the
Speaker 1: third wave feminist me too left wing criticism? Right, you
Speaker 1: don't see anyone from who's a big artist from the
Speaker 1: hip hop community getting a lot of heat publicly from
Speaker 1: you know, from the press. You just don't. I don't know,
Speaker 1: at least I don't, and I try to pay attention
Speaker 1: to these things. And I said that it seems like
Speaker 1: there's quite a bit of a double standard at work there,
Speaker 1: especially considering some of the songs. Some of the songs
Speaker 1: in the hip hop community, in any music genre these days,
Speaker 1: really have some lyrics that you know, you hear them,
Speaker 1: and you know, even like some Ariata Grande songs. Not
Speaker 1: that listening to a a lot of that, but you know,
Speaker 1: even some of these other pop songs that are out there.
Speaker 1: They'll come on and I'm just you know, I start
Speaker 1: singing doing my busting out, my my my buck moves,
Speaker 1: which have which have mad flavor, mad flavor, and I'm
Speaker 1: doing that, and then I'll hear the actual lyrics to
Speaker 1: the song and I'm like, oh, I'm glad my parents
Speaker 1: aren't around. I would want them to hear this. You know,
Speaker 1: some of them is the lyrics are downright dirty, and
Speaker 1: I'm talking about pop music and like that, like, you know,
Speaker 1: fifteen sixteen year old, you're listening across the country. I'm like,
Speaker 1: they're listening to this. Good heavens, what's going on here.
Speaker 1: Let's figure this out. It's happening to me with a
Speaker 1: bunch of different songs. I'll try to think of some
Speaker 1: of them. Then I realized how dirty the lyrics really are.
Speaker 1: You know that they're not actually talking about a special
Speaker 1: dance move. They're talking about something else going on. I'm like,
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, oh my gosh. So there you have it. Uh.
Speaker 1: I brought this up at hip Hop and but then
Speaker 1: a story broke about someone who decided to take it
Speaker 1: upon himself to fight back against some of the more
Speaker 1: aggressive lyrics in a hip hop. But this is one
Speaker 1: of these cases where I'm I'm not sure really who
Speaker 1: side I'm on here? Well, I actually no, I do
Speaker 1: know who side I'm on. Not on the side of
Speaker 1: the guy who got people in trouble for playing music.
Speaker 1: I'm on the side of the people. So in this case,
Speaker 1: the people that were actually playing the hip hop with
Speaker 1: the the bad lyrics in it. So at Duke University, Uh, Duke,
Speaker 1: you versity has fired to campus baristas. This just happened.
Speaker 1: I just saw the story breaking breaking today. Oh no,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Story happened a few days ago. Now it's
Speaker 1: going national though, so now it's finally getting more attention.
Speaker 1: So Duke fires these two baristas because the vice president
Speaker 1: for student affairs, some guy named Larry Manetta, who I'm sure,
Speaker 1: but what is that, you know? Vice president for student affairs.
Speaker 1: This guy's probably got a nice office and a cushy,
Speaker 1: cushy paycheck and pension waiting for him and doesn't do
Speaker 1: a whole lot. Ya. I'm just saying he runs student affairs.
Speaker 1: I think the students hand a lot of their own affairs.
Speaker 1: But he was at the Joe Van Go coffee shop,
Speaker 1: which I I don't know if this is an on campus.
Speaker 1: I think it's an on Yeah it is, it is.
Speaker 1: It's on Duke University campus. And the song came on
Speaker 1: get paid by Young Dolf? Uh producer Mike John do
Speaker 1: you know this young all fellow? I'm unfamiliar. Nope, nothing, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I have no And who is who is the Easy?
Speaker 1: Do you guys know the Easy is? Isn't that? Isn't there?
Speaker 1: A guy? Is that a song? Or a guy is? Jay? Is? Easy?
Speaker 1: Refers to jay Z. I know nothing, you know nothing.
Speaker 1: I think that's affiliated with Kanye weston his fashion line.
Speaker 1: Isn't it? Is it Kanye? Al Right? I don't I'm
Speaker 1: gonna have that. MS Molly will know Askarl later. She'd
Speaker 1: be horrified if she heard this conversation. It's like, fuck,
Speaker 1: You've gotta pay attention to what's going on in pop culture.
Speaker 1: Uh So anyway, so young Doll And whenever I think
Speaker 1: of Dolph, I think of I must break you Like
Speaker 1: that's Dolph to me. So Young Dolph is a different
Speaker 1: and I don't know how he got the name or
Speaker 1: anything else. But that's a different thing. He has a
Speaker 1: song that has the lyrics in it. I blanked her
Speaker 1: up real good, A very very nasty thing to say.
Speaker 1: But these these two young young people, gosh, it sounds like,
Speaker 1: you know, two whipper snappers, right, young young young folks,
Speaker 1: you know, youths. You know, these two young students at
Speaker 1: the Duke University. They were they were playing this song
Speaker 1: over over the the p a or whatever at at
Speaker 1: the coffee shop. And this guy writes a letter. Oh,
Speaker 1: by the way, who wants to guess what kind of
Speaker 1: muffin this? Larry Monetta, a vice president for student affairs,
Speaker 1: what kind of muffin did he have? Folks before he
Speaker 1: before he called called in the fuzz on these two
Speaker 1: guys for playing music. That's right, you know the answer,
Speaker 1: A vegan muffin. You know, you can't trust. You can't
Speaker 1: trust a guy who, for reasons other than allergies or
Speaker 1: whatever celiacs for exempt it's not an allergy. But the
Speaker 1: whole different discussion, who goes who reaches for the vegan muffin?
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, there's there's a lot of perfectly good muffins there.
Speaker 1: You're gonna go for the vegan muffin anyway, Vegan muffin
Speaker 1: eater guy calls the campus authorities and or or sends
Speaker 1: them an email. I'm sorry, sends an email and complains
Speaker 1: about the Spotify list and gets these two barristas, Brittany
Speaker 1: Brown and Kevin Simmons fired from their jobs because they're
Speaker 1: playing a song over the p A that had curse
Speaker 1: words in it. Now, what's interesting also about this guy
Speaker 1: is that he's actually a a kind of a free
Speaker 1: expression guy. Means that the professor is known as someone
Speaker 1: who will speak up for free speech. But how does
Speaker 1: he square that. Here's a tweet from them to those
Speaker 1: who believe that colleges and universities should prohibit hate speech.
Speaker 1: I encourage you to read this. It's some book from Yale.
Speaker 1: Freedom of expression protects the oppressed far more than the oppressors.
Speaker 1: It's a little ironic, isn't it that the free speech
Speaker 1: guy on Duke University campus or somebody known for being
Speaker 1: a free speech advocate would complain about music choice and
Speaker 1: get someone fired from their job for it. I would
Speaker 1: just also know this is an administration. This guy. This
Speaker 1: guy sucks. Okay, I'm I'm with the fired. Barista's here,
Speaker 1: by the way, is it? Is it barist stow? If
Speaker 1: you know, is there like a Latin? Is a barist
Speaker 1: us spuri sta, boristo or something? I mean, what do
Speaker 1: we call a male? Is everyone a barista? Male or female?
Speaker 1: Or maybe something else? Barista and producer Mikey got nothing
Speaker 1: for me on this. You're you're come on, Philly's got
Speaker 1: fancy bougie stuff too. You know what's up? Is it? Barista?
Speaker 1: No matter who you are? Yeah, I don't know, man,
Speaker 1: you might be on your hand on this one. I'm
Speaker 1: oh my, oh, you're leaving me. You're leaving me in
Speaker 1: the trenches taking grenades here on this one. I see
Speaker 1: how it is? All right? All right? Well, the point
Speaker 1: is the guys, the guy's got a guy and a
Speaker 1: gal got fired for this. And I just think to
Speaker 1: myself so many different ways this could have been somebody
Speaker 1: who was this could have been handled. Did he go
Speaker 1: up to them and say, hey, could you guys, you know,
Speaker 1: he's an administrator at the school. They're all in school property.
Speaker 1: Why did you just say to him, you know, could
Speaker 1: you guys maybe not play this kind of music? You know,
Speaker 1: could you could you try to pick stuff that's maybe
Speaker 1: a little a little less with the profanity and and
Speaker 1: other things like that. Um, that would be great, but
Speaker 1: that's not what happened. That's not what happened at all.
Speaker 1: He didn't treat them like adults and go up with
Speaker 1: them and say, hey, guys, I really this song, uh,
Speaker 1: the song bothers me. I guarantee you they would have,
Speaker 1: especially knowing this guy's an employee of the school who's
Speaker 1: vice president of you know, whatever he does, I think
Speaker 1: would have changed a song and taken off their Spotify players.
Speaker 1: Now he's got them fired. Guys, gotta why he's gonna
Speaker 1: act like a punk, you know, be a man, go
Speaker 1: up and tell him you don't like their music. I
Speaker 1: think it's interesting that he chose the I'm gonna send
Speaker 1: an email and get them in trouble route. This strikes
Speaker 1: me as a little weasily, you know, a little little easily.
Speaker 1: You can't do. These are adults. They're young adults, but
Speaker 1: they're adults. Should have talked to them about it. So
Speaker 1: apparently hip hop you can't play with impunity anywhere. I'm
Speaker 1: surprised this isn't more of a yeah, it's getting some
Speaker 1: national attention. Now. But this guy someho always escaped. It
Speaker 1: seems to me this some Manetta character has escaped anybody
Speaker 1: being upsetted him for singling out hip hop music and
Speaker 1: or writing an email to the powers that be to
Speaker 1: get these people fired from their job, which I'm sure
Speaker 1: they were doing doing well and you know, trying to
Speaker 1: earn some cash while they're in college. And I don't know,
Speaker 1: I don't I don't like it. I don't like what
Speaker 1: this guy did. So here we are, I said, oh,
Speaker 1: it is is hip hop exempt? It's not exempt apparently
Speaker 1: when it comes to some uh nerdy college administrator who
Speaker 1: won't give people the benefit of the doubt and say, hey,
Speaker 1: could you change your song choice? There it is. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I didn't think that we'd be here in this way
Speaker 1: talking about the subject. But we are eight four four buck.

Speaker 1: patriotic apparel. You're right back. Speaking of the swamp, we
Speaker 1: have a story that, let's be honest, it's very squarely
Speaker 1: into the narrative of the stinky, smelly swamp that is
Speaker 1: way too much a part of politics today. I'm talking
Speaker 1: about the uh, the revelation today from the Wall Street Journal,
Speaker 1: among others, that Novartis and A T and T gave
Speaker 1: one point eight million dollars to Michael Cohen, he of Pulse,
Speaker 1: Who's polls, Your Pulse, My Pulse, those poles one point
Speaker 1: eight million dollars to him for quote insights. Yeah, insights, Um,
Speaker 1: those are some pretty expensive insights. Let's be honest. Look,
Speaker 1: I I understand that this there's probably other stories rather
Speaker 1: here about, but this is a thing. It's gonna come
Speaker 1: up more so I felt like we should deal with it.
Speaker 1: Here's my problem with the way that this is gonna
Speaker 1: get I'm true, that's gonna get framed. Uh, look, this
Speaker 1: happens all This happens all the time. I'm not excusing.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's okay. But people get paid for
Speaker 1: either expertise or I don't know, like speeches. Hello, that's
Speaker 1: what ostensibly the payment is for. But really what they're
Speaker 1: being paid for is access their rolodex, their personal relationships
Speaker 1: that can influence policy and make it rain dollar dollar bills.
Speaker 1: That's what it's all about, and that's why you would
Speaker 1: have a Swiss drug maker, and a and and a
Speaker 1: telecom giant giving one eight million dollars to Michael Cohen,
Speaker 1: I believe for his advice, specifically about healthcare, an area
Speaker 1: that he I saw that somewhere, yes, how that these
Speaker 1: payments were stipulated. Here's we go. This is quote from
Speaker 1: the Wall sutural piece. These payments were stipulated by a
Speaker 1: one your agreement with essential consultants that Novartis pursued in
Speaker 1: the belief that Mr Cohen could advise how the Trump
Speaker 1: administration might approach US healthcare policy matters. What's Trump gonna
Speaker 1: do about healthcare? They're paying Cohen almost two million dollars
Speaker 1: for that. It's a lot of money. A lot of
Speaker 1: people go to work, work very hard, you know, average folks,
Speaker 1: They go to work the whole year, and you know,
Speaker 1: they make thirty thirty five two million dollars for a
Speaker 1: guy who has no expertise in healthcare whatsoever. And I'm
Speaker 1: gonna be honest, I'm not sure has expertise and much
Speaker 1: of anything. I'm just saying said doesn't look good. But
Speaker 1: you know what else doesn't look good? Hundred and seventy
Speaker 1: five million dollars to the Clinton Foundation from Russian interests
Speaker 1: and eight hundred thousand dollars speech paid for by a
Speaker 1: Russian bank tied to the Kremlin, if memory serves for
Speaker 1: Bill Clinton to show up and be like, I'll just
Speaker 1: think we need to bring the world together. We just
Speaker 1: need to bring a bunch of ladies over and we'll
Speaker 1: have those ladies, you know, mak them up, margharita's maybe
Speaker 1: get him in the hot tub and talk about policy,
Speaker 1: you know, and that's what we'll do. Grands a lot
Speaker 1: for even a Bill Clinton speech, you know, hot tub
Speaker 1: not included. I mean, he's he's a no, not nearly
Speaker 1: as as important a figure on the Oh, that's right,
Speaker 1: it's Hillary they're paying for access to. But you pay
Speaker 1: the spouse to get to the office holder. And that's
Speaker 1: what they were doing. And so this is why we're
Speaker 1: in one of these situations where I'm gonna tell you,
Speaker 1: yeah that that doesn't really know. For the president's personal
Speaker 1: lawyer to be taken a lot of money for access
Speaker 1: is it's not good. It's not good. I mean, I
Speaker 1: don't even know what this specif ethical with ethics not
Speaker 1: ethical ethics constraints are around this. But it also comes
Speaker 1: in a context of I was there. I was over
Speaker 1: at CNN, man, when people were like, oh, all the
Speaker 1: Clinton Foundations just like just a charity, Yeah, just all
Speaker 1: about charitable stuff, you know, just doing Yeah, well, what
Speaker 1: was the last time that you actually saw the Clinton
Speaker 1: Foundation do any real charity somewhere, not just shuffle some
Speaker 1: money around and take their cut and then maybe send
Speaker 1: it onto a charity that does real work. I don't know,
Speaker 1: charity is hard. Yeah, yep, yep, yep, yep. Yeah. They
Speaker 1: were excusing and enormous, an enormous amount of pay for
Speaker 1: access with Hillary Clinton. So how can they just sort
Speaker 1: of move on now from that and act like there's,
Speaker 1: you know, no big deal, nobody deal with her. But
Speaker 1: oh no, two million dollars for Cohen, they're gonna make
Speaker 1: a huge You a lot of the talking about this
Speaker 1: all the time. Um, so it's not good. I mean,
Speaker 1: Mueller's known about this for a long time. The Mueller
Speaker 1: probe that came out today too, and both Novartis and
Speaker 1: A T and T have cooperated with Mueller's office. Um,
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that I think that Cohen is quite
Speaker 1: in Manifort territory yet in terms of how much they're
Speaker 1: gonna go after him and what they're gonna have on him.
Speaker 1: But it's not looking good, folks, it's not looking good. Look,
Speaker 1: Cohen is the president's you know, as the president's lawyer.
Speaker 1: If he can't stay out a legal trouble, that's kind
Speaker 1: of on him, the lawyer. He should know, right, I mean,
Speaker 1: unless they're gonna get him on some kind of mickey
Speaker 1: mouse process crime, which they very well might. But I
Speaker 1: think I'm thinking there's gonna be something financially financial related here.
Speaker 1: And would they look would they have gone after Cohen
Speaker 1: if if he wasn't Trump's layer? Of course? Not right
Speaker 1: with And doesn't this send them message don't work for Trump,
Speaker 1: don't work with Trump, don't be in the vicinity of Trump,
Speaker 1: because we will get you. We being the deep State,
Speaker 1: the Special Counts, all the stuff, they will get you
Speaker 1: in order to send a message to all the rest. Yep.
Speaker 1: That's unfortunately the that's unfortunately the world we are living
Speaker 1: in right now, folks. That's what's going on. So wish
Speaker 1: it weren't the case. I wish I could tell you
Speaker 1: that there were people of of good faith and goodwill
Speaker 1: operating with all this stuff, and and Mueller's probe is
Speaker 1: gonna shut down any day. But this is what's gonna
Speaker 1: be happening for the foreseeable UM eight four four nine
Speaker 1: hundred buck if you would like to chat, uh. I
Speaker 1: I was thinking about maybe returning to the issue of
Speaker 1: the hospital confirmation, just because the way feminists abandoned women
Speaker 1: that aren't progressives, and it just it's so predictable and
Speaker 1: so gross. But I don't know the hospital thing. I
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be Yeah, it's she's going to be
Speaker 1: the director. So they're just making a bunch of noise,
Speaker 1: you know. Damiela Harris is playing for the cameras. And
Speaker 1: I said earlier, and that's that. Um, don't forget. We're
Speaker 1: gonna get into a roll call here. If you want
Speaker 1: to send some roll call thoughts, base book dot com,
Speaker 1: slash buck Sexton, send me whatever you got and we'll
Speaker 1: be back in just a say he's back with you now.
Speaker 1: Because when it comes to the fight for truth, the
Speaker 1: fuck never stops. Gina Haskell said today that the president
Speaker 1: after to restart theterrogation program, she would go to Is
Speaker 1: that something that the president whatever asked? Gaskell told the
Speaker 1: Senate today that she would not reopen enhanced the interrogation programs.
Speaker 1: How does the White House square that with President Trump's
Speaker 1: long health belief that torture is acceptable because the President
Speaker 1: still believe the torture works, as he said. Ah, so
Speaker 1: that's really what it was about today as well. They're
Speaker 1: grandstanding during the hospital hearing for the next c I
Speaker 1: director spot, but they also wanted then turn it around
Speaker 1: into see Trump is pro torture. Ah. They absolutely, they
Speaker 1: will not stop any opportunity they see, any chance they
Speaker 1: have to try and drag this president down, drag his well,
Speaker 1: dragging his name into the mud doesn't work in any
Speaker 1: context for these guys, but they still do it. And Trump,
Speaker 1: I think, just to kind of troll them a little bit,
Speaker 1: wrote something today on Twitter about let me make sure
Speaker 1: that I let me make sure I get it right.
Speaker 1: Isn't amazing to know what the president thinks on any
Speaker 1: given day. You have to be up on his tweets.
Speaker 1: I'm kind of surprised Obama actually didn't use Twitter more
Speaker 1: than he did in retrospect. But uh you, he wrote.
Speaker 1: The failing New York Times criticized Secretary of State POMPEII.
Speaker 1: Oh this was just it's almost like he listens to
Speaker 1: the Buck Sexton show. Trump wrote the failing New York
Speaker 1: Times criticized Secretary of State Pompeio for being a wall
Speaker 1: missing when in fact he was flying to North Korea.
Speaker 1: Fake news so bad? Like I said before, what Mr President,
Speaker 1: if you're listening, glad, I'm glad I could help out um.
Speaker 1: And then also he wrote, where is this about the taking? Oh? Yeah,
Speaker 1: here we go the fake This was twelve hours ago.
Speaker 1: The fake news is working overtime just reported that despite
Speaker 1: the tremendous success we were having with the economy and
Speaker 1: all things of the network, news about me is negative.
Speaker 1: So why do we work so hard with the media
Speaker 1: when it is corrupt? Takeaway credentials? Question mark, He's not
Speaker 1: gonna take away there? Great. They first of all, they
Speaker 1: would love it if you would take away their credentials.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, can you imagine, Oh, the the Acosta
Speaker 1: martyr routine, among others, that the First Amendment has been destroyed. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: for a long time, plenty of conservative outlets of it
Speaker 1: all kinds of trouble getting journalist credentials getting access to
Speaker 1: these things, right that media credits whatever they call it.
Speaker 1: And I don't really agree with Drudge. I saw Drudge
Speaker 1: put on a treat today saying he thinks that Trump's
Speaker 1: warrel and media is gonna lead to media licensing. No,
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think that's the case. I think
Speaker 1: Drudges is off on that one. Um, media licening, how
Speaker 1: that even work? You're gonna tell people they can't write
Speaker 1: or saynything. There's no no way they want to control
Speaker 1: with people, right and say, by controlling the culture. But
Speaker 1: I don't see media licensing as a realistic concern. Um.
Speaker 1: But I've been I've been wrong before rarely, but I've
Speaker 1: been wrong before. Huck Sanders got a question about this
Speaker 1: play fourteen today on Twitter, suggested stripping journalists of their
Speaker 1: press credentials. Is that a line that has press secretary
Speaker 1: you will be willing to cross. I'm standing up in
Speaker 1: front of you right now, taking your questions. I think
Speaker 1: a number of you have mentioned, both off air or
Speaker 1: on air, in private and a number of other occasions,
Speaker 1: that this is one of the most accessible. White Houses
Speaker 1: were very committed to a free press, and I think
Speaker 1: that we demonstrate that every single day, not only by
Speaker 1: me being up here and taking your questions. As I'm
Speaker 1: doing right now. The President did it just a couple
Speaker 1: of hours ago and has made multiple sets of remarks
Speaker 1: and will be uh in front of the press later
Speaker 1: tonight as well. You know, how much can they really
Speaker 1: want about this stuff? Before it it just becomes apparent
Speaker 1: that this is a refrain the media is gonna keep it,
Speaker 1: really gonna do you really gonna abandon us? Oh, it's
Speaker 1: so bad, we're here, It's so sad. You know, they
Speaker 1: love this. It's been good for their careers, the journalists
Speaker 1: at the president has gone after the most have had
Speaker 1: their careers elevated in the mainstream media. I mean, if
Speaker 1: you want to get a if you want to get
Speaker 1: what they call a contributorship. A little bit of background here.
Speaker 1: So a contributor though the folks that you see who
Speaker 1: go on TV, who are the guests, right, not the
Speaker 1: hosts and not the correspondence out in the field, you know,
Speaker 1: talking about things. But the guests, if they are on
Speaker 1: contract and paid, they are called contributors. So I was,
Speaker 1: for example, for two years, a CNN contributor. It's traumatizing,
Speaker 1: but a lot of other folks to show up and
Speaker 1: do it for free. Al right, But if you want
Speaker 1: to get a contributorship right now at MSNBC. All you
Speaker 1: have to do is go on TV and be like
Speaker 1: presidents the worst is the racist and a rapist and
Speaker 1: the murderer and the thief. And you know, just do
Speaker 1: that and MSNBC will put you on TV. Republican political consultant,
Speaker 1: republican political consultant. They'll put them on. They'll put on
Speaker 1: as much as they can. They'll get you on TV.
Speaker 1: You know, I actually asked somebody this weekend or not
Speaker 1: this weekend? This past week I said to somebody, the
Speaker 1: media person of some note, you know what's funny about
Speaker 1: CNN ms is the CNN people think they're different from MSNBC.
Speaker 1: I wonder if the MSNBC people feel like CNN is
Speaker 1: is a bunch of fakery too, that they're just as
Speaker 1: opinionated and just as left wing as MSNBC, but they
Speaker 1: just refused to own it. I'd think I'd be kind
Speaker 1: of curious. I mean, they'll never they know they're united,
Speaker 1: they're playing for the same team, so they'll they'll never
Speaker 1: actually answer that question, I think, But that would be
Speaker 1: so fascinating to actually hear. Um they're getting all upset
Speaker 1: about the press by the way, an interesting uh. This
Speaker 1: guy Avanati, the lawyer for the porn star. He has
Speaker 1: made some claims about Cohen. I was talking before about this,
Speaker 1: these payments to Cohen, which look at I don't I'm
Speaker 1: not saying they're illegal. I'm just saying doesn't really look good.
Speaker 1: And Cohen is not Cohen is not a healthcare expert.
Speaker 1: He's a Trump expert and everyone knows it. And if
Speaker 1: they're if paying for access is bad, he shouldn't take
Speaker 1: that money. But here's how this, uh Tapper Avanazi exchange went.
Speaker 1: Jake Tapper over at CNN fifteen. The allegation you're suggesting
Speaker 1: here not only that somebody was selling access to the president,
Speaker 1: but that maybe he was even giving some of the
Speaker 1: money to the President or to his firms. That is
Speaker 1: a that is a stark suggestion. I'm not making that suggestion.
Speaker 1: I'm not making that allegation. You're not saying. What I'm
Speaker 1: saying is is that all the evidence is not in
Speaker 1: yet as to where this money went. And I find
Speaker 1: it very hard to believe, Jake, that the president at
Speaker 1: least did not know what Michael Cohen was doing for
Speaker 1: this eighteen month or twelve month time period. Why is
Speaker 1: that so weird? I mean, Cohen's got different clients, He's
Speaker 1: a lawyer, he's bound by confidentiality. Why would why would come?
Speaker 1: By the way, I find it completely plausible that Cohen
Speaker 1: would take money for access to Trump and not tell
Speaker 1: Trump anything about it. Think about if you were in
Speaker 1: his shoes, his very shiny, square toed loafers, I'm sure,
Speaker 1: and cohen shoes. Uh, don't you think that you would
Speaker 1: want to take that money and keep it kind of quiet?
Speaker 1: You know, you want to bring it to the present's attention.
Speaker 1: Why he might say, Hey, this is gonna look bad.
Speaker 1: You can't do that. And I'm gonna keep following this one.
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't have a totally read on it yet.
Speaker 1: I'm I want to watch this one. I do think
Speaker 1: Mueller's got coin though. That whole raid that wasn't just
Speaker 1: that wasn't just sending a message of what was doing that.
Speaker 1: It was a taste of things to come. There's gonna
Speaker 1: be a lot a lot more. I think that very
Speaker 1: clearly shows Cohen is in Mueller's crosshairs. When we come back,
Speaker 1: we have my favorite part of a day, roll call
Speaker 1: Stay with Me Team. It's time for roll call, old
Speaker 1: school rocking, all call, all right if you want to
Speaker 1: be a part of the next one Facebook dot com
Speaker 1: slash buck Sexton and we will get to it. So
Speaker 1: thank you for that. Uh. First up here, Renee Rights.
Speaker 1: Has anyone noticed the resemblance between John Kerry and Herman Munster? No, Renee,
Speaker 1: I can't say that I have John. I'm missing something.
Speaker 1: Isn't her a month? Yeah? I don't. I don't. I
Speaker 1: don't get that. That was weird? Okay, but hey, Renee,
Speaker 1: maybe I'm missing something. Uh. Next up we have Harlow,
Speaker 1: who writes, hey, buck oss here, shields high, great show,
Speaker 1: love it on, I heart every day. Why do you
Speaker 1: think the Republicans are so useless? The Dems would have
Speaker 1: passed the kitchen sink by Now whose side are these
Speaker 1: guys on? You know, Harlow, you raise an important point here.
Speaker 1: Just like the Iran deal is temporary, tax cuts will
Speaker 1: be temporary to my friends. And yeah, there's congressional action
Speaker 1: on on the ladder or not the former. But if
Speaker 1: the Democrats win the House, just give it time. Once
Speaker 1: they get the Senate there there they'll they will find
Speaker 1: a way on taxes. Uh, they'll they'll raise your taxes
Speaker 1: and they'll say they're just restoring tax fairness or some
Speaker 1: other nonsense crap. But they will. They will believe believe
Speaker 1: you me, my friends, So keep that in mind. Next
Speaker 1: up here we have Jen, who writes great show. Well,
Speaker 1: thank you, Jen, amazing show. Actually I read an older
Speaker 1: note where she said great Now she said amazing. But
Speaker 1: I'll take both great and amazing. I'll take them both.
Speaker 1: I've been listening to the older shows while I wait
Speaker 1: for the weekday episode. I'm so glad you've decided to
Speaker 1: do this. I'm the same age, and I've been worried
Speaker 1: that after Rush, who would we have. It makes me
Speaker 1: really happy that we have your voice to speak for
Speaker 1: us now and going forward. You are a great American
Speaker 1: Shields High. Well, Jan, you're very very kind, and thank
Speaker 1: you for listening. And I hope you've been around for
Speaker 1: a long time doing my show and I appreciate you,
Speaker 1: appreciate that you're part of team Buck. So thank you
Speaker 1: so much. Matt. Next up here, Buck, love your show.
Speaker 1: One quick comment. The left has been investigating Trump now
Speaker 1: for years with all the might of the MSM, and
Speaker 1: as yet to come up with anything more than Stormy Daniels,
Speaker 1: but ronan Pharaoh and a few of his team takes
Speaker 1: down Schneiderman in one foul, one fell swoop. What does
Speaker 1: that say about the power of the media, Well, Matt,
Speaker 1: I think they would have taken down anybody who wasn't Trump.
Speaker 1: You know, you got to remember that. I think that
Speaker 1: that's one of the Trump is an anomaly. He is
Speaker 1: the exception. He has uh, an almost impervious nous to
Speaker 1: the usual media slanders and tactics of destruction and character assassination.
Speaker 1: It just doesn't doesn't have the same effect against this president.
Speaker 1: And they're trying everything. They're so desperate. They go after
Speaker 1: him like maniacs, and he just keeps on brushing his
Speaker 1: shoulder off. That's what he does. Oh. By the way,
Speaker 1: Producer Mike pointed this out to me that Easy is not,
Speaker 1: in fact a rapper, but is Kanye West's clothing line.
Speaker 1: I do not yet own any gear from Easy, but
Speaker 1: I will look into it. Uh. Next up we have Alan,
Speaker 1: who writes, buck I never missed a show. I really
Speaker 1: appreciate your on air delivery. Well, I really appreciate you, Alan.
Speaker 1: Too many people sprinkle their speech with incredibly annoying phrases
Speaker 1: like right, look so at the end of the day, whatever,
Speaker 1: et cetera. Totally agree, Alan, I don't like that at all,
Speaker 1: even those on air in major news shows. Keep up
Speaker 1: the the great work. Thank you, Alan. And yes, it's true.
Speaker 1: A lot of people my business, they like go on
Speaker 1: error and like they just like want to like share,
Speaker 1: like their opinions and like so like I mean, it's
Speaker 1: just like you know, the iraqis and like they don't
Speaker 1: like have maps such as remember that that was a
Speaker 1: real classic moment as in the all time pantheon of
Speaker 1: on air TV bloopers. That's one of my favorites. It's
Speaker 1: one of my favorites. It's up there with We'll do
Speaker 1: It Live, few others. You know, I haven't seen it.
Speaker 1: Just type in like such as maps on YouTube and
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure it'll pop up. Good stuff. Christina writes,
Speaker 1: hate those robocalls. I have to answer even if no
Speaker 1: one is named or I don't recognize it. I literally
Speaker 1: have eighteen doctors, so when they call you better answer.
Speaker 1: Most docs do not use their names or number that
Speaker 1: is linked to a practice, but it's not labeled. I
Speaker 1: told Christina, I have the same thing. A lot of
Speaker 1: media companies, people say, book, what do you only for calls?
Speaker 1: You know, because I would never be able to go
Speaker 1: on Fox on a whole bunch of different places and
Speaker 1: organizations that will reach out a lot of these media
Speaker 1: companies have blocked phone numbers. So if you're not gonna
Speaker 1: answer block phone numbers, you're not gonna be able to
Speaker 1: do some some things you need to for your job. Kay,
Speaker 1: it's the reward center. Oh, it's terrible. Doesn't even really
Speaker 1: think that you just you just want to cruise and
Speaker 1: they just want to be your friend and they want
Speaker 1: to give you this free cruise. Don't even get me
Speaker 1: started on cruises. I know some of you probably have
Speaker 1: had great experiences and love cruises, and if there's a
Speaker 1: really great cruise sponsor with deep pockets out there, I'm
Speaker 1: sure we could work something out. But as a general rule,
Speaker 1: I just it's not for me. I'm a I'm a
Speaker 1: land lover, right, I'd like to stay on land. I'm
Speaker 1: not a ship person. So there you have it. But Christina,
Speaker 1: I feel I feel your paying on the whole robocalls thing.
Speaker 1: They they really stink. It's very very annoying. Um and
Speaker 1: I'm hoping that they will take the government. I know
Speaker 1: I'm saying that. I'm hoping the government will take action
Speaker 1: and stop stop it. Eric writes my inner Star Wars
Speaker 1: nerd compels me in defense of Abrams, he did not
Speaker 1: do the last Jedi, but he returns for the next
Speaker 1: Star Wars movie. Also, I love your show. Thank you
Speaker 1: appreciate that shields high and Davis volt Davis fold meaning
Speaker 1: God's wills it Crusaders battle cry. Uh Okay, I didn't know.
Speaker 1: I thought Abrams did this last one, so I guess
Speaker 1: I stand corrected on the lot. But the last Star
Speaker 1: Wars was pure trash, pure trash, garbage, not worth anyone watching,
Speaker 1: a little a little weird like Crystal marmots that were
Speaker 1: running around the whole. It's just it's hard to understand
Speaker 1: how a movie could be so bad. I'm look, go
Speaker 1: watch it and tell me. You know, you can tell
Speaker 1: me I'm wrong, but I'm right when it comes to
Speaker 1: this one. I'm on it. Uh, Edmund, Right, Stormy's lawyer
Speaker 1: accused the wrong Michael Cohen. Where did he get his data?
Speaker 1: Hashtag deep State leaks. That's a good question, Edmond. It
Speaker 1: seems this lawyer might be getting some information about people
Speaker 1: that he shouldn't be getting now. Remember they seized all
Speaker 1: of Cohen's personal effects from his office from his home.
Speaker 1: So do do any of us think it is beyond
Speaker 1: some members of the deep state and the FBI to
Speaker 1: get that information out to the media. I don't think so,
Speaker 1: or to Avanati to to to launder through Abanati for
Speaker 1: the media. I think that's very very much a possibility.
Speaker 1: Robert right, love the show. Everyone's picking up on it.
Speaker 1: If you start out with something nice, very likely the
Speaker 1: rest of it will get read on air. Uh, I

Speaker 1: News in the beginning of GBTV. I saw Glen last
Speaker 1: few days. Great to catch up with the plan. He's
Speaker 1: doing well, he says. Hi. Everyone should want to remind
Speaker 1: the Dems that this deal is not a treaty. If
Speaker 1: it were a treaty, we would be bound to it.
Speaker 1: Maybe we should have gone that way if you wanted
Speaker 1: it to be permanent. Robert, I didn't see this until now,
Speaker 1: but I believe I addressed that and so great minds
Speaker 1: think alike. My friend, you and I are on the
Speaker 1: same page with this one. We are sympatico on it.
Speaker 1: It's a reminder that President Obama really did seem to
Speaker 1: think that Congress was kind of this quaint a acrotism.
Speaker 1: Got a phone, there's my partner my phone. Um, so yeah,
Speaker 1: there there was that. We're gonna be closing out the
Speaker 1: Freedom Hunt for today, but back tomorrow from the swamp,
