WEBVTT - Roasting their Golden Globes 0:00:00.960 --> 0:00:15.239 You are entering the freedom hunt. The Golden Globes get 0:00:15.520 --> 0:00:19.520 roasted and toasted. Iran retaliation is on the minds of 0:00:19.560 --> 0:00:23.480 everyone across the country right now. Pelosi's real enemy will 0:00:23.520 --> 0:00:27.040 find out who that is. Also the wildfires in Australia, 0:00:27.080 --> 0:00:30.520 and so much more coming up. This is the Buck 0:00:30.600 --> 0:00:33.879 Sexton Show, where the mission or mission is to decode 0:00:33.920 --> 0:00:41.159 what really matters with actionable intelligence, magnor mistake America. You're 0:00:41.159 --> 0:00:47.760 a great American Again, the Buck Sexton Show begins. He's 0:00:47.760 --> 0:00:54.280 a great guy. No. Season two is on the way, 0:00:54.440 --> 0:00:56.520 so in the end he obviously didn't get in sound 0:00:57.120 --> 0:01:01.840 just like Jeffrey Extein. Shut up. I know he's your friend, 0:01:01.920 --> 0:01:07.480 but I don't care. Got about your own way? Are 0:01:07.600 --> 0:01:11.840 you signed the fire? Welcome the Buck Saxon Show, everybody. 0:01:12.400 --> 0:01:14.040 It was quite a weekend, quite a day to get to. 0:01:14.280 --> 0:01:16.480 I know. The most important, the biggest story in the 0:01:16.520 --> 0:01:19.920 world is certainly the anticipation of what is going to 0:01:19.920 --> 0:01:21.839 come from Iran. Will spend some time on that today, 0:01:21.880 --> 0:01:23.640 but I didn't want to lead off with that. There's 0:01:24.400 --> 0:01:26.560 going to be plenty of time in the days ahead. 0:01:26.680 --> 0:01:30.640 Right now, it seems like it's just mostly speculation as well. 0:01:30.760 --> 0:01:33.200 There's not a whole lot that people really know. How 0:01:33.200 --> 0:01:35.800 could anyone know? So instead, I want to talk to 0:01:35.800 --> 0:01:38.160 you about the Golden Clubs for a moment. I, like 0:01:38.280 --> 0:01:40.640 many of you, i'm sure, do not care at all 0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:44.959 to sit and watch people in Hollywood talk about how 0:01:44.959 --> 0:01:50.120 amazing they are get awards, discuss their courage. But I 0:01:50.160 --> 0:01:53.559 do like watching a very talented comedian who I would 0:01:53.600 --> 0:01:57.360 not It is no particular friend of conservatives. It's not 0:01:57.400 --> 0:02:01.600 like he is someone who, for ideological read decided to 0:02:02.520 --> 0:02:05.920 make a big thing of making fun of Hollywood. It's 0:02:05.960 --> 0:02:08.639 not like he's a conservative who finally got a chance. No. No, 0:02:08.800 --> 0:02:11.720 he makes fun of Christianity constantly in his stand up. 0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:15.200 He makes fun of everybody. But I can respect that 0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:20.040 because he's a comedian and he'll go after whomever. He's 0:02:20.120 --> 0:02:24.079 making fun of things. He's not pandering, he's not bending 0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:27.080 the knee. Ricky Gervais is one of it feels like 0:02:27.120 --> 0:02:32.120 the very few comedians left these days, and so that's 0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:34.960 why what he did last night was so entertaining. And 0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:37.280 I think there's more than just the entertainment factor, which 0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:38.639 is why I wanted to talk to you about it today. 0:02:38.639 --> 0:02:43.760 Although his Epstein joke was pretty fantastic. There were some 0:02:43.800 --> 0:02:48.240 other moments as well. Harvey Weinstein, as you may see, 0:02:48.400 --> 0:02:52.560 is his trial begins today, and there was a great 0:02:52.639 --> 0:02:58.200 Ricky Gervais joke specifically about Harvey Weinstein, saying that the 0:02:58.320 --> 0:03:01.639 movie Bird Boxes about people who pretend not to see 0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:03.840 anything so they can survive, kind of like working for 0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:06.239 Harvey Weinstein. That was his joke that I thought was 0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:10.480 among the very best. He did a fantastic job, but 0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:13.920 it was amazing to see because they panned around the room. 0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:16.680 This is the fifth time this guy has done this. 0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:18.560 This is the fifth time he's hosted the Golden Globes. 0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:23.440 The Hollywood Foreign Correspondence or Foreign Press Association or whatever 0:03:23.480 --> 0:03:26.360 it's called. Who even knows who these people are. I mean, 0:03:26.480 --> 0:03:29.000 I guess it's just foreign journalists that cover media, but 0:03:29.040 --> 0:03:31.960 they've created this Golden Globes awards ceremony that is their 0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:36.680 most well known. I guess it's the reason this association 0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:42.560 even exists. And I would I would just point out 0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:49.600 that you would think these different luminaries of our entertainment industry, 0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:51.760 you would think that they would be in a place 0:03:51.840 --> 0:03:54.600 that they would understand they're going to get made fun of. 0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:56.480 That's why they bring this guy in because people like me, 0:03:56.480 --> 0:03:58.640 Because people across the country. The day after you have 0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:03.640 one of these Ricky Gervase monologues, people talk about it. 0:04:03.640 --> 0:04:06.960 It's great press. People care all of a sudden because 0:04:06.960 --> 0:04:09.840 he's a war Awards ceremonies are ridiculous. Look, I don't 0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:12.800 go to the Washington Correspondence dinner. I don't care to 0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:14.960 go to the Correspondence dinner. I will not go to 0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:18.720 the Correspondence dinner. It's boring mostly, but also I think 0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:21.240 the whole thing is kind of bizarre. Well, what's with 0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:24.599 giving out giving out awards like we're all in grammar 0:04:24.600 --> 0:04:27.359 school and need a little plastic trophy to put on 0:04:27.400 --> 0:04:31.440 the shelf? Who cares? That makes no sense at all 0:04:31.440 --> 0:04:35.200 of me, especially as our cultural elites have gotten so 0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:38.200 divorced in their taste from the rest of the country. 0:04:38.200 --> 0:04:40.240 This is how you have movies that get nominated and 0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:43.520 win Oscars. I've even heard of these movies. I'm not pretending. 0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:45.279 I mean producer Mark has more of his finger on 0:04:45.320 --> 0:04:47.960 the pulse of pop culture than I do. And he 0:04:48.000 --> 0:04:50.880 would tell you that he's probably not the most pop 0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:53.360 culture immersed guy around by a long shot. He is 0:04:53.360 --> 0:04:56.360 shaking his head vigorously right now, side to side. But 0:04:57.120 --> 0:04:58.679 the fact that I haven't even heard of these movies 0:04:58.720 --> 0:05:01.560 just goes to show you that they're is no question 0:05:02.320 --> 0:05:06.159 that the people that are making these decisions do not share, 0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:10.839 broadly speaking, the sentiments and the sense of what's good. 0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:13.400 In fact, now it's become a point of mockery if 0:05:13.400 --> 0:05:16.760 you say, why is it that twenty years ago movies 0:05:16.800 --> 0:05:23.120 that one best picture were universally generally beloved? You know, 0:05:23.320 --> 0:05:27.520 movies like I Don't Know Shakespeare and Love Saving Private 0:05:27.600 --> 0:05:29.800 Ryan the Pianist. I mean, these are great movies. They 0:05:29.880 --> 0:05:33.279 used to win Oscars I'm talking about now. But you 0:05:33.320 --> 0:05:34.960 look at the goal, you look at the golden globes 0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:38.480 the Oscars today, and it's all this wokeness. It's just wokeness. 0:05:38.480 --> 0:05:43.440 It's all just self performance, even outside of the performative 0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:50.080 acts of being a Hollywood celebrity. And because social media 0:05:50.279 --> 0:05:52.880 has created a circumstance for us where we can see 0:05:52.880 --> 0:05:59.160 who these people are and what they really think, we 0:05:59.200 --> 0:06:01.880 recognize that a bunch of big Aramises and so Ricky 0:06:01.880 --> 0:06:06.800 Gervais standing up there and marking them he also offend out. 0:06:06.839 --> 0:06:08.320 I mean, we didn't pull that many of his joke 0:06:08.360 --> 0:06:10.200 do we pull any other sprucer mark of his jokes 0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:12.200 specifically because I mean, he's going to deliver them better 0:06:12.240 --> 0:06:13.400 than I do. But it's all right if we don't 0:06:13.400 --> 0:06:16.880 want to just yeah, but play, they'll play that one. 0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:20.919 Apple rolled into the TV game with a morning show, 0:06:21.160 --> 0:06:27.720 a superb drama. Yeah, a superb drama about the importance 0:06:27.720 --> 0:06:30.920 of dignity and doing the right thing, made by a 0:06:30.920 --> 0:06:34.520 company that runs sweatshops in China. So well, you say 0:06:34.520 --> 0:06:39.240 you woke, But the companies you work for, I mean unbelievable. Apple, Amazon, Disney. 0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:42.840 If Isis started a streaming service, you'd call your agent, 0:06:42.920 --> 0:06:45.960 wouldn't you. So if you do win an award tonight, 0:06:46.960 --> 0:06:49.000 it don't use it as a platform to make a 0:06:49.040 --> 0:06:51.760 political speech. Right, You're in no position to lecture the 0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:54.720 public about anything. You know nothing about the real world. 0:06:55.080 --> 0:06:58.080 Most of you spend less time in school than Greta Thumberg. 0:06:58.200 --> 0:07:02.640 So if you win, right, come up except a little awards, 0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:07.240 thank your agent and your gods. Second best joke of 0:07:07.279 --> 0:07:10.200 the night for me after Everstein right there, Many of 0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:13.000 them have spent less time in school than young Greta Thundberg, 0:07:13.040 --> 0:07:16.040 who is sixteen maybe now seventeen. Many of them left 0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:18.920 to be full time actress were thirteen or fourteen years old. Now, 0:07:18.920 --> 0:07:21.320 I'm not somebody who believes that you have to have 0:07:21.400 --> 0:07:23.960 formal education of any kind to be an educated person. 0:07:24.120 --> 0:07:26.280 It's clearly not the case. In fact, we have the 0:07:26.320 --> 0:07:29.920 democratization of information in a way now that would have 0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:34.200 been unthinkable for autodidacts even what one hundred years ago, 0:07:34.320 --> 0:07:37.160 fifty years ago. And you can give yourself as long 0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:38.480 as you have someone to guide you along with the 0:07:38.480 --> 0:07:39.920 basic skills. You have to learn how to read, and 0:07:40.320 --> 0:07:42.320 probably can't just do that without you can just flip 0:07:42.360 --> 0:07:44.320 on a computer and although maybe we'll get to the 0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:47.440 point where it's all automated, but you have the skill 0:07:47.480 --> 0:07:49.360 set now. If you have the basic skill set now 0:07:49.440 --> 0:07:52.680 rather to operate the information machinery around you, you you can 0:07:52.680 --> 0:07:55.920 teach yourself almost anything. That all said, Hollywood stars and 0:07:55.960 --> 0:08:01.640 celebrities are not an intellectually curious bunch. They generally speaking, 0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:05.400 the very very well known ones have actually made it 0:08:05.440 --> 0:08:07.840 where they are largely by winning the genetics lottery in 0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:10.080 a sense, by being really, really good looking, we're talking 0:08:10.080 --> 0:08:13.280 about this room of people. They're all, you know, physically, 0:08:13.960 --> 0:08:16.000 some of them have gotten, you know, considerably older now, 0:08:16.040 --> 0:08:18.760 but you know, the ladies were bombshells and the guys 0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:23.200 were you know, leading men, handsome you know whatever we 0:08:23.320 --> 0:08:25.320 call the handsome leading men of today, I don't know. 0:08:25.400 --> 0:08:27.880 But the point is they've done nothing to get where 0:08:27.920 --> 0:08:31.200 they are other than be very lucky in a lot 0:08:31.240 --> 0:08:35.480 of ways starting at birth, and then happen to operate 0:08:35.559 --> 0:08:39.400 within a Hollywood machinery that is as left wing as 0:08:39.440 --> 0:08:42.600 the faculty lounge of Wesleyan University. I mean, that's that's 0:08:42.600 --> 0:08:47.840 what is the reality of Hollywood today, and unfortunately, it 0:08:47.840 --> 0:08:51.160 has already made its way into that wokeness has made 0:08:51.160 --> 0:08:55.280 its way into these major digital b emits places like 0:08:55.320 --> 0:08:59.160 Amazon and Netflix and although Disney Plus I gotta give 0:08:59.160 --> 0:09:02.800 a little credit, Man Lauran is awesome, and Baby Yoda, 0:09:03.000 --> 0:09:06.240 this is the way. It's amazing. Man Laurian's an excellent show. 0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:08.280 If you haven't seen it any The Witcher is trash. 0:09:08.320 --> 0:09:10.120 If you want to just avoid that, I'm trying to 0:09:10.160 --> 0:09:12.280 help you out here, save your time. But we already 0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:15.000 know there's a left wing tilt to these places. I mean, 0:09:15.120 --> 0:09:18.200 Jake Karney got hired by Amazon Content as though like 0:09:18.240 --> 0:09:21.280 he knows something about doing scripted content. He got hired 0:09:21.360 --> 0:09:24.560 right of the Obama administration. The Obamas have this Netflix deal. 0:09:24.640 --> 0:09:28.200 So it's not like it's getting better because the studio system, 0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:32.600 the Hollywood movie studio system, has broken down and is 0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:34.840 not what it used to be. I mean they use 0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:37.479 that used to be the top of the entertainment pyramid. 0:09:37.800 --> 0:09:41.280 You'd go to Universal Studios, you go to I guess MGM, 0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:44.160 I don't even know what. They're all called Warner Brothers. 0:09:44.200 --> 0:09:46.440 So you go to these places, and you know they 0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:48.480 could they could write a check effectively to spend one 0:09:48.559 --> 0:09:53.760 hundred million dollars on a movie. Well, Netflix and Amazon, 0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:56.439 they'll spend one hundred million dollars on a brand new 0:09:56.440 --> 0:10:00.560 TV show no one's ever heard of. So that's or 0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:03.560 a movie. And I saw this movie with Will Smith 0:10:03.600 --> 0:10:06.760 called Bright. It was very strange movie. It spent one 0:10:06.800 --> 0:10:09.000 hundred million dollars on that. Many of you have probably 0:10:09.080 --> 0:10:10.440 most of you, I'm sure I've never even heard of it. 0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:13.160 It's on Netflix. Watch it your own risk. My little 0:10:13.160 --> 0:10:17.439 brother hated it. I think that it was had its moments. 0:10:17.720 --> 0:10:19.920 It wasn't terrible. I mean it was bad, but it 0:10:19.960 --> 0:10:22.520 wasn't like the word. It wasn't the witcher bad. The 0:10:22.559 --> 0:10:25.400 witcher should not now be an epithet like yo, man, 0:10:26.160 --> 0:10:28.760 that that thing you just did that was worse than 0:10:28.760 --> 0:10:30.120 the Witcher. You should just be able to say that 0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:33.720 to people. But why does this also have a broader 0:10:34.080 --> 0:10:36.000 How does this tie into things that matter more to 0:10:36.080 --> 0:10:40.760 us than just trashing Hollywood. Well, for one, I think 0:10:40.760 --> 0:10:43.960 that what we've seen is that the cultural elites in 0:10:43.960 --> 0:10:46.600 this country, just like just like it has been the 0:10:46.640 --> 0:10:50.960 case with news media elites, we are now more aware 0:10:51.040 --> 0:10:53.199 than ever because they exposed themselves to us. And I 0:10:53.240 --> 0:10:55.200 don't mean that in like a whoa kind of way, 0:10:55.240 --> 0:10:58.520 although they do that too. They exposed themselves to us 0:10:59.240 --> 0:11:02.320 more than they have and so we're more aware of 0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:07.800 the politics the beliefs of the people that make entertainment. 0:11:07.840 --> 0:11:10.480 And this is why even those of you who you know, 0:11:10.960 --> 0:11:12.960 you read a ton, you read books all the time, 0:11:13.320 --> 0:11:16.320 you care about the constitution, and you listen to talk radio. 0:11:16.320 --> 0:11:20.200 If you listen to this, even if you ignore pop culture, 0:11:20.240 --> 0:11:24.360 pop culture doesn't ignore you. This has a tremendous effect 0:11:25.120 --> 0:11:30.760 a tremendous effect on perceptions of tens of millions of people, 0:11:31.120 --> 0:11:34.200 hundreds of millions of people across the country. It affects 0:11:34.240 --> 0:11:35.640 the way they think. And you live in this country 0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:38.720 with those people, so it should it has to matter 0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:42.120 to you at some level what's going on with these individuals. 0:11:42.559 --> 0:11:48.240 They are incredibly sanctimonious but also deeply insecure, which you 0:11:48.320 --> 0:11:53.959 tend to see among elites who are largely unearned in 0:11:54.480 --> 0:11:57.880 their placement in society. This is true of TV journalists 0:11:57.880 --> 0:11:58.920 that I talked to you about a lot of the time. 0:11:58.960 --> 0:12:02.880 I mean people like Chuck Time What's what's impressive? People 0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:05.280 like Jake Tapper or or what was his name? The 0:12:05.280 --> 0:12:07.840 guy that was there in a rock except he wasn't, 0:12:07.920 --> 0:12:09.560 you know, on the plane that got or the helicopter 0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:11.760 hit by Always I always forget his name, but you 0:12:11.760 --> 0:12:15.080 know he's the was the biggest newsman at NBC News 0:12:15.160 --> 0:12:16.720 producer Nick is going to send me the name in 0:12:16.720 --> 0:12:20.040 a second. I'm just blanking on it. But those individuals 0:12:20.160 --> 0:12:23.800 either just sucked up to the right people in the 0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:27.960 news media chain of command. Todd Tapper. I was gonna 0:12:28.000 --> 0:12:29.920 say Jennings, but he passed away a long time and 0:12:29.920 --> 0:12:31.480 I'm trying to think of the guy. Who's the guy 0:12:31.600 --> 0:12:35.560 Brian Williams. Brian Williams. That guy looks and sounds like 0:12:35.600 --> 0:12:38.320 a news anchor supposed to and I think I might. 0:12:38.320 --> 0:12:41.439 I've be sure the guy again. Being an autodidact is fun. 0:12:41.480 --> 0:12:43.600 I've taught myself much more than I learned in college 0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:45.360 as an adult, no question about it. I learned not 0:12:45.400 --> 0:12:47.280 a whole lot in college, and I actually tried to study. 0:12:48.440 --> 0:12:51.760 But it's one thing if you leave, you know, if 0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:54.440 you don't finish high school, you don't finish the tenth grade, 0:12:54.600 --> 0:12:56.120 and then you spend the rest of your life going 0:12:56.120 --> 0:12:58.240 to cocktail parties and try to tell everybody how brilliant 0:12:58.280 --> 0:13:01.000 you are, but you haven't done the work. And these 0:13:01.000 --> 0:13:03.360 people in the news media and these people in Hollywood 0:13:03.400 --> 0:13:06.559 who want to lecture us on women's rights and diversity 0:13:06.640 --> 0:13:10.000 and climate change and all this stuff, they haven't done 0:13:10.200 --> 0:13:13.040 the work. And it used to be that we had 0:13:13.120 --> 0:13:15.920 to take that from we had to be able to 0:13:15.960 --> 0:13:18.760 extrapolate that on our own, from watching, from being a 0:13:18.880 --> 0:13:21.800 viewer of the product that they put out there. But now, 0:13:21.960 --> 0:13:24.920 because of social media and they like to put out 0:13:24.960 --> 0:13:27.400 their tweets, and like to do little FaceTime or Facebook 0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:32.400 videos or videos on Instagram. TikTok, this Chinese site that 0:13:32.440 --> 0:13:34.520 I still don't really understand what it is, but I 0:13:34.720 --> 0:13:36.240 have seen it, but I don't really get why people 0:13:36.280 --> 0:13:38.160 like it so much. I was right, by the way 0:13:38.200 --> 0:13:43.120 about Snapchat, that normal adults don't want to put fake 0:13:43.240 --> 0:13:46.480 cat faces on themselves and have their vices go really high, 0:13:46.679 --> 0:13:49.280 like that's not cool or cute if you're a teenager. 0:13:49.320 --> 0:13:51.800 If you're twelve, fine, But that that's why I knew 0:13:51.840 --> 0:13:54.280 Snapchat was toast years ago, so I feel good about that. 0:13:54.360 --> 0:13:57.400 I also knew that the Huffington Post was basically built 0:13:57.440 --> 0:13:59.679 on a foundation of sand, and that it wasn't going 0:13:59.720 --> 0:14:02.400 to grow, and that wasn't making money, that BuzzFeed wasn't 0:14:02.400 --> 0:14:06.600 glorified cat blog, which we've all been calling it for years. 0:14:06.600 --> 0:14:08.800 I mean, you can see what these things are, but 0:14:08.840 --> 0:14:11.000 if they raise enough venture capital funds that they have 0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:13.720 enough money, they can just force feed themselves to you, 0:14:13.800 --> 0:14:16.520 so you have no way to escape, no way to 0:14:16.559 --> 0:14:18.400 get away from whatever it is that they're trying to 0:14:18.440 --> 0:14:22.760 present to you. Mike dot Com I remember that Mike 0:14:22.840 --> 0:14:25.160 dot Com actually try to hire me years ago, believe 0:14:25.160 --> 0:14:27.240 it or not, Yeah, I know. And then I saw 0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:29.480 the front page of their website right before I went 0:14:29.520 --> 0:14:33.560 down for a meeting, and it was like the most 0:14:34.720 --> 0:14:39.280 anti cop, absurd Black Lives Matter is saving the country 0:14:39.360 --> 0:14:40.920 kind of stuff I've ever seen in my life. And 0:14:40.960 --> 0:14:42.480 I was like, I can't. I was supposed to be 0:14:42.560 --> 0:14:45.120 an opposition sort of columnists from anyone. I was like, 0:14:45.160 --> 0:14:48.800 this site isn't gonna work either. But the media that 0:14:48.840 --> 0:14:53.080 we have now, especially the entertainment medium, is going through 0:14:53.080 --> 0:14:55.760 a phase that I would say is somewhat similar to 0:14:55.880 --> 0:15:00.800 the dissolution of monarchy, which now I think they're about 0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:04.200 a dozen or so monarchy still technically in existence in Europe. 0:15:04.560 --> 0:15:06.560 But up until World War One you had all you 0:15:06.640 --> 0:15:09.880 had monarchies that had real power, and then eventually over 0:15:09.920 --> 0:15:13.040 those serious It really took a couple of centuries, but 0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:16.240 people started saying, hold on a minute, why are these 0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:19.600 people in charge, what's so what's so good about them? 0:15:20.120 --> 0:15:23.200 Why should we listen to them? Why should they be 0:15:23.240 --> 0:15:26.160 able to determine my future or my fate. Now I'm 0:15:26.160 --> 0:15:29.480 not saying that, you know, Salmahiac or Brad pitt Or, 0:15:29.480 --> 0:15:30.880 and I actually kind of like those two. I'm sure 0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:32.360 I should think of someone ones that I hate off 0:15:32.360 --> 0:15:34.080 the top of my head, or I shouldn't say hate 0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:36.640 too strong a word that I that are worthy of 0:15:37.360 --> 0:15:40.600 particular ridicule. Jennifer Anderson looking like she was going to 0:15:40.680 --> 0:15:45.280 cry talking about, uh, you know, Russell Crowe and the 0:15:45.880 --> 0:15:48.360 climate change problem. I mean, yeah, the brush fires in Australia. 0:15:48.400 --> 0:15:50.920 We'll talk about that. That's incredibly serious. It's deeply saddening 0:15:50.920 --> 0:15:54.520 that there's all these animals that are burning there. But 0:15:54.720 --> 0:15:56.880 claiming that we all have that that Hollywood is going 0:15:56.920 --> 0:15:59.440 to lead the charge to change the world and climate 0:15:59.520 --> 0:16:01.960 change in the economy, and that's really what Russell crow wants. 0:16:02.040 --> 0:16:05.160 These people are such blowhearts, and they must know it 0:16:05.200 --> 0:16:07.040 at some level too, which is why they stand up 0:16:07.080 --> 0:16:09.840 there and say the things that they do in the 0:16:09.880 --> 0:16:13.000 way that they do. I don't mean it might be subconscious, 0:16:13.720 --> 0:16:18.240 but most of them have been revered for the most 0:16:18.280 --> 0:16:21.960 superficial of things imaginable, and yet they have much more 0:16:22.040 --> 0:16:26.920 sway among superficial and I think you could say low 0:16:26.960 --> 0:16:31.800 information audiences, and so they use that, they wield that. 0:16:32.120 --> 0:16:36.680 But the monarchy of Hollywood, the monarchy of the Hollywood 0:16:36.680 --> 0:16:39.720 studio system is breaking down and movies aren't what they 0:16:39.800 --> 0:16:42.280 used to be, as Ricky Gervais said, and we are 0:16:42.400 --> 0:16:44.320 entering into a phase here where as long as we 0:16:44.400 --> 0:16:47.840 can start to wrestle control back from some of the 0:16:47.920 --> 0:16:52.800 major digital the online, the internet gatekeepers, maybe we won't 0:16:52.840 --> 0:16:57.360 have to be force fed this garbage by the Hollywood 0:16:57.400 --> 0:16:59.280 media anymore. Anyway, that was what I took from Ricky 0:16:59.320 --> 0:17:04.359 Gervases each last side you're in the Freedom Hunt. This 0:17:04.440 --> 0:17:10.760 is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Just to know that 0:17:10.920 --> 0:17:12.879 there's a there's a part of me that still feels 0:17:12.920 --> 0:17:16.280 a little sad for people who I can't tell. I 0:17:16.280 --> 0:17:17.960 don't know if they're really brainwash or not. But the 0:17:18.080 --> 0:17:22.359 La Times media critic wrote this whole piece in the 0:17:22.520 --> 0:17:26.200 La Times after Golden Globes about how those celebrities it's 0:17:26.320 --> 0:17:27.879 it's been really hard for them because of all the 0:17:27.920 --> 0:17:31.520 issues because of Trump and climate change in the Australia, uh, 0:17:31.640 --> 0:17:34.040 you know, wildfires and all this stuff. That it was 0:17:34.119 --> 0:17:36.920 really a solemn night actually, and that Ricky Gervais would 0:17:36.920 --> 0:17:39.600 go in there and be disrespectful, he missed the mark 0:17:39.640 --> 0:17:42.080 and everyone else is like nope, it was amazing. But 0:17:42.160 --> 0:17:44.800 I think for a lot of people still. Unfortunately, you know, 0:17:44.800 --> 0:17:47.320 while monarchies are crumbling, there's so a lot of court jesters, 0:17:47.320 --> 0:17:51.119 and some people like this La Times columnist still have 0:17:51.240 --> 0:17:53.119 to bend the knee. It's one of the things I 0:17:53.160 --> 0:17:55.520 love about this show and never have to bend the knee. 0:17:56.119 --> 0:17:59.600 Thanks for listening to The bus Sexton Show podcasts. Remember 0:17:59.640 --> 0:18:03.440 just scribe on Apple podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever 0:18:03.520 --> 0:18:08.320 you get your podcasts. What the United States did yesterday 0:18:08.320 --> 0:18:11.760 should have been done long ago. A lot of lives 0:18:11.760 --> 0:18:15.959 would have been saved. Just recently, Soloman he led the 0:18:15.960 --> 0:18:20.560 brutal repression of protesters in Iran, were more than a 0:18:20.680 --> 0:18:25.480 thousand innocent civilians were tortured and killed by their own government. 0:18:26.520 --> 0:18:31.560 We took action last night to stop a war. We 0:18:31.680 --> 0:18:36.639 did not take action to start a war. I was 0:18:36.640 --> 0:18:39.800 President Trump On Friday after the show, he gave a 0:18:39.840 --> 0:18:41.920 little speech, and I wanted to share it with you 0:18:43.080 --> 0:18:46.800 because there's so much bad analysis out there right now, 0:18:47.560 --> 0:18:54.120 and so much stupidity and recklessness and dishonesty among those 0:18:54.200 --> 0:18:57.480 who are supposed to bring clarity and facts and necessary 0:18:57.560 --> 0:19:00.160 context to a moment like this. Because the stakes are 0:19:00.280 --> 0:19:02.800 quite high, I don't think we are heading to war 0:19:02.840 --> 0:19:06.160 with Iran. I would put the percentage at less than 0:19:06.200 --> 0:19:08.320 ten that we are going to get into any kind 0:19:08.320 --> 0:19:14.840 of protracted escalation with Iran that involves US military use 0:19:14.880 --> 0:19:17.880 of force on a consistent basis and large numbers numbers 0:19:17.920 --> 0:19:20.880 of casualties. You see, we have to start to define 0:19:20.960 --> 0:19:27.119 this because one aspect of this whole exchange, and this 0:19:27.200 --> 0:19:29.800 does get into some of the most important it's among 0:19:29.840 --> 0:19:31.960 the most important things we as a people. We the 0:19:32.000 --> 0:19:37.240 American people, can consider and think about war, but also 0:19:37.520 --> 0:19:40.800 cannot allow to be exaggerated. It can't just be well, 0:19:40.920 --> 0:19:43.000 we do nothing or we have all out war. That's 0:19:43.000 --> 0:19:45.240 not the reality of the situation Iran. It's almost never 0:19:45.280 --> 0:19:48.280 the reality that we face anywhere. But a part of 0:19:48.280 --> 0:19:52.560 the context that gets lost here is that the Iranians 0:19:52.600 --> 0:19:56.520 have been doing things for such a long time that 0:19:56.640 --> 0:20:00.879 would be in other circumstances with another country, an act 0:20:00.920 --> 0:20:03.399 of war that would lead to open military hostilities that 0:20:03.480 --> 0:20:07.000 we've almost become numb to it. We just take it. 0:20:07.000 --> 0:20:10.200 We're sort of like Gulliver being you know, tied down 0:20:10.240 --> 0:20:12.960 by the little Aputians. With the Iranians, well, of course 0:20:12.960 --> 0:20:14.399 they were able to time down for a while. But 0:20:14.440 --> 0:20:17.879 you know, they're just throwing things at us and trying 0:20:17.920 --> 0:20:21.200 to agitate us, and because we're so much more powerful 0:20:21.200 --> 0:20:22.960 than they are, we always say, okay, well, you know, 0:20:22.960 --> 0:20:25.080 we don't want to we don't want to overreact, we 0:20:25.080 --> 0:20:28.800 don't want to miscalculate. People who have been talking a 0:20:28.800 --> 0:20:34.120 lot about the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps the Kud's Force, 0:20:34.200 --> 0:20:38.719 which is just the external operations arm right IRGC internally, 0:20:39.480 --> 0:20:42.720 is part of the repression machinery the Iranian people. It's 0:20:43.240 --> 0:20:45.200 very much, very similar to what you would have had, 0:20:45.240 --> 0:20:48.800 say in the Soviet era with the KGB, and the 0:20:48.880 --> 0:20:52.520 KGB was an intelligence service, was also really a paramilitary service, 0:20:52.600 --> 0:20:56.879 and it was it was just the action arm the 0:20:57.040 --> 0:21:02.399 concentrated violence and brutality of the state, that's really the 0:21:02.440 --> 0:21:04.800 purpose of it. And so the KOODS Force is an 0:21:04.800 --> 0:21:09.280 extension of that beyond Iranian boundaries and territory and has 0:21:09.320 --> 0:21:14.399 been spreading misery and destruction across the region for quite 0:21:14.440 --> 0:21:19.720 some time, for decades. Really, remember Iran seized our embassy 0:21:19.760 --> 0:21:25.120 and took our people hostage. Did we engage in massive 0:21:25.880 --> 0:21:28.160 military retaliation as a result of that? When that happened 0:21:28.160 --> 0:21:29.840 to the Carter administration, go all the way back to 0:21:29.920 --> 0:21:35.560 nineteen seventy nine. No, no, we did not. Iran was 0:21:35.600 --> 0:21:40.480 involved in the Khobar Towers attack in Saudi Arabia against 0:21:40.560 --> 0:21:46.320 US military person. Was there anything done major in response 0:21:46.359 --> 0:21:51.640 to that? No, there was not. Now, there have been 0:21:51.640 --> 0:21:53.639 some moments in time where we have taken action against 0:21:53.640 --> 0:21:55.960 the Iranians. I mentioned the tank award you before, and 0:21:56.000 --> 0:21:58.720 there was a very unfortunate incident where a US guided 0:21:58.720 --> 0:22:02.400 missile destroyer shot Iranian civilian jetliner out of the sky 0:22:02.520 --> 0:22:05.199 thinking that it was an enemy fighter plane killed I 0:22:05.200 --> 0:22:10.200 think almost two hundred people. Very a very tragic day. 0:22:10.520 --> 0:22:13.680 So I'm not saying that there has not been use 0:22:13.760 --> 0:22:16.639 of force and that have not been miscalculations. Clearly that 0:22:16.800 --> 0:22:19.600 was a major miscalculation. But this has been going on 0:22:19.760 --> 0:22:23.199 for a very long time. At what point do we 0:22:23.280 --> 0:22:29.200 decide that just sanctions and just terse words are not enough. 0:22:30.040 --> 0:22:33.280 At what point do we turn around and say, you know, 0:22:33.520 --> 0:22:36.840 this is not going to stand anymore. I mean, Kasam 0:22:36.920 --> 0:22:42.200 Salamani was a designated terrorist, a designated terrorist by the 0:22:42.280 --> 0:22:48.720 United States government. He was openly plotting against American and 0:22:48.720 --> 0:22:51.360 it's now You could say that our government is lying 0:22:51.359 --> 0:22:54.280 to us about this, and to that I would say, 0:22:54.400 --> 0:22:57.560 you know, there are lies that you could excuse, or 0:22:57.680 --> 0:23:00.800 rather you could understand how somebody in the apparatus could 0:23:00.840 --> 0:23:03.159 excuse for reasons of politics or things that somebody might 0:23:03.200 --> 0:23:05.800 push aside and say there's something bigger here, there's something 0:23:05.840 --> 0:23:09.320 greater here. In this case, I'm not saying this is impossible. 0:23:09.320 --> 0:23:11.639 The government has lied to us about things before, and 0:23:11.680 --> 0:23:14.600 the government has been wrong before and sometimes wrong and 0:23:14.880 --> 0:23:20.600 lies are a very close call which one you're really 0:23:20.640 --> 0:23:23.640 dealing with. We were wrong about the weapons of mass 0:23:23.640 --> 0:23:27.040 destruction as presented by Colin Powett, the United Nations, etc. Etc. 0:23:27.280 --> 0:23:30.040 Under the Bush administration. We were wrong. And we have 0:23:30.080 --> 0:23:31.800 to look at the Iraq War now and wonder what 0:23:31.920 --> 0:23:34.680 exactly has been accomplished here. When you have the Iraqi Parliament, 0:23:34.680 --> 0:23:37.080 it's a non binding resolution they voted on but saying 0:23:37.560 --> 0:23:42.560 they want the United States to leave. Understand this a 0:23:42.720 --> 0:23:48.600 shift in US national security posture that is meaningful would 0:23:48.680 --> 0:23:52.720 result in the United States taking an approach where not 0:23:52.760 --> 0:23:56.320 only are we not going to rebuild other countries, We're 0:23:56.359 --> 0:23:58.520 not going to do Afghanistan anymore. We're not going to 0:23:58.560 --> 0:24:01.399 do Iraq anymore. Starting to get a little bit of 0:24:01.400 --> 0:24:03.640 that serious situation. Oh, remember when we abandoned the curds 0:24:03.680 --> 0:24:06.320 and it was the worst thing ever, you know it. 0:24:06.320 --> 0:24:10.720 It was the most most depraved act by a US 0:24:10.760 --> 0:24:13.200 president in history. And all this crazy stuff they were saying, 0:24:13.440 --> 0:24:17.080 it seems like everything's kind of just continuing on. Life 0:24:17.080 --> 0:24:19.240 has gone on. There has not been some mass genocide 0:24:19.600 --> 0:24:24.240 that Turks haven't, you know, dropped gas all over Syria 0:24:24.359 --> 0:24:25.640 to kill all the curds. I mean that this has 0:24:25.680 --> 0:24:29.040 not happened. Remember when people were all historical about this 0:24:29.720 --> 0:24:32.119 and there was oh, there was so much rending of 0:24:32.160 --> 0:24:35.080 garments and gnashing of teeth by the Democrats over there 0:24:35.119 --> 0:24:39.680 were so very, very upset. Did they really care about 0:24:39.720 --> 0:24:41.199 the curds? I was telling you. The answer was no. 0:24:42.680 --> 0:24:44.480 Do we think that I was probably right about that. 0:24:45.720 --> 0:24:47.160 If we have to look at it at this point, 0:24:47.680 --> 0:24:51.399 you probably have to say, well, I think it's clear 0:24:52.119 --> 0:24:55.240 that that was all done as a as a show 0:24:55.960 --> 0:24:59.159 against President Trump. That was all meant to just be 0:24:59.200 --> 0:25:02.080 an opportunity to attack him domestically. But if we and 0:25:02.160 --> 0:25:04.160 I'll get into the politics of this morning moment, because 0:25:04.160 --> 0:25:07.280 it look there's a lot of moving pieces here, and 0:25:07.320 --> 0:25:10.560 I'm trying to avoid just the there's always all the people, 0:25:10.600 --> 0:25:12.840 the speculation I see we're in Oh, you know, they 0:25:12.920 --> 0:25:14.199 might hit us here. The mine is there. We've done 0:25:14.240 --> 0:25:16.440 a little bit of that just to fill out our 0:25:16.480 --> 0:25:19.280 conversation here. But until they do something, we don't know 0:25:19.320 --> 0:25:21.760 what the Iranians have done. It's the most simple, straightforward 0:25:22.400 --> 0:25:25.359 it's so blatant, it's so obvious. It feels weird even 0:25:25.400 --> 0:25:29.159 saying it. But sometimes you have to repeat and you 0:25:29.240 --> 0:25:34.520 have to be very clear with statements like that, because 0:25:35.280 --> 0:25:37.720 people are getting way ahead of themselves, racking like we're 0:25:37.720 --> 0:25:41.119 already in some elevated state of hostilities. Kasam Solamani is 0:25:41.160 --> 0:25:45.760 one man the Iranians when they were fighting the Iraqis 0:25:46.520 --> 0:25:49.560 in the Iran Iraq War of the nineteen eighties went 0:25:49.600 --> 0:25:55.520 on for nine years, they trained Iranian youth to run 0:25:55.560 --> 0:25:59.800 across mine fields to try to clear them. How do 0:25:59.840 --> 0:26:03.240 you things that worked out? It's effectively telling people it's 0:26:03.359 --> 0:26:06.000 it's a suicide bomber. We're not taking anyone out but yourself. 0:26:06.040 --> 0:26:10.040 Effectively using human beings to clear mind fields, because that 0:26:10.160 --> 0:26:13.479 was the mentality. That's the truth of what's in the 0:26:13.480 --> 0:26:18.879 heart of these mullahs, these theocrats, right, these they're religious fanatics, 0:26:19.920 --> 0:26:22.600 which is frightening. Now, religious fanatics, you know, they still 0:26:23.359 --> 0:26:25.239 deal with some of the same day to day They 0:26:25.440 --> 0:26:27.240 deal with many of the same day to day constraints 0:26:27.240 --> 0:26:28.560 the rest of us do if they if they want 0:26:28.600 --> 0:26:32.199 to live. But a true religious fanatic along the lines 0:26:32.359 --> 0:26:35.399 of the Iranian mulas, who believe that they are in 0:26:35.480 --> 0:26:40.119 a protracted war with non Muslims, with the West, with Israel, 0:26:40.119 --> 0:26:46.440 with America, they're willing to do effectively anything. And that's 0:26:46.480 --> 0:26:48.719 why we have this big problem of course of Iran 0:26:48.800 --> 0:26:51.639 possibly getting nuclear weapons and what would it mean and 0:26:51.680 --> 0:26:56.720 what would happen after that. But if we're going to 0:26:56.840 --> 0:26:59.320 change the policy, and this is where this is where 0:26:59.320 --> 0:27:03.439 the Trumps disrupt or fact has to come into the conversation. 0:27:04.000 --> 0:27:06.200 If we're going to change the policy of the United 0:27:06.200 --> 0:27:10.920 States when it comes to foreign relations, national security, international affairs, 0:27:10.920 --> 0:27:14.679 however you want to put it, that means not only 0:27:15.040 --> 0:27:17.680 are we going to avoid the reconstruction of these other 0:27:17.720 --> 0:27:21.000 countries trying to create flower essentially the neo Khan approach 0:27:21.119 --> 0:27:25.600 on the right done can't do that anymore. But that's 0:27:25.600 --> 0:27:28.280 going to mean something else as well. There will be 0:27:28.320 --> 0:27:33.480 countries where terrible things happen. There will be countries where 0:27:33.480 --> 0:27:35.720 we will be quite aware. I mean, this was certainly 0:27:35.760 --> 0:27:38.639 the case for almost all of Obama's time in office. 0:27:38.920 --> 0:27:42.560 The Syrian Civil War turned into the eighth circle of 0:27:42.600 --> 0:27:45.919 how how much worse could it really have been? Hundreds 0:27:45.920 --> 0:27:49.600 of thousands dead, mass rapes, mass murders, gas attacks, whole 0:27:49.640 --> 0:27:51.879 cities leveled. I mean, how much worse could the Syrian 0:27:51.920 --> 0:27:55.600 Civil War have been? And keep in mind that we 0:27:55.680 --> 0:27:58.080 took this under the obaministration. We took this position that 0:27:58.600 --> 0:28:00.520 our leadership was going to try to bring this to 0:28:00.560 --> 0:28:04.080 a close sooner, and that there would be a UN mandate. 0:28:04.119 --> 0:28:05.920 There was a UN mandate to make sure the violence 0:28:05.920 --> 0:28:07.800 would end a political settlement. This was the stuff they're 0:28:07.800 --> 0:28:10.919 talking about now. It seems preposterous because they didn't do 0:28:10.920 --> 0:28:13.800 a thing. And then Obama's Pentagon Plan they spent I 0:28:13.800 --> 0:28:15.680 think it was five hundred million dollars to put five 0:28:15.720 --> 0:28:18.320 actual fighters into the conflict. And then there are people 0:28:18.320 --> 0:28:22.080 who still talk about the running of weapons from Libya 0:28:22.160 --> 0:28:26.080 to Syria or try to help the anti assad Syrian 0:28:26.080 --> 0:28:28.439 forces geehotists under the Obamaster. I mean, it's just a 0:28:28.440 --> 0:28:31.760 complete mess, a nightmare. Here's the part of this that 0:28:31.800 --> 0:28:33.840 gets complex, that gets difficult for a lot of people, 0:28:34.960 --> 0:28:37.439 because we just have the Iraqi problem, a non binding 0:28:37.520 --> 0:28:40.640 vote for us to leave Iraq. If we leave Iraq, 0:28:40.680 --> 0:28:42.720 things You're going to get very very ugly there. It's 0:28:42.760 --> 0:28:45.120 going to get very messy. If we leave Afghanistan things. 0:28:45.320 --> 0:28:46.800 I will tell you the truth about this. A lot 0:28:46.840 --> 0:28:49.440 of people will, you know, thump their chests, especially a 0:28:49.480 --> 0:28:51.320 lot of the think tankers out there. They'll thump their 0:28:51.400 --> 0:28:53.640 chests and say, you know, no, no, we should say 0:28:53.720 --> 0:28:55.920 forever and or they'll say we should pull out and 0:28:55.920 --> 0:28:58.040 everything will be fine. I'm here to tell you know, 0:28:58.080 --> 0:28:59.640 we should pull out, and everything's not going to be 0:28:59.640 --> 0:29:03.560 fine because we no longer I mean, this was this 0:29:03.640 --> 0:29:08.000 was a promise that Trump was making. No more endless war, 0:29:08.120 --> 0:29:10.800 no more wars that are unnecessary in the first place, 0:29:11.680 --> 0:29:16.320 an endless occupation of these foreign countries. I remember, occupation 0:29:16.400 --> 0:29:18.680 is different from having a base. I hate when people 0:29:18.680 --> 0:29:20.800 do this so well, we have troops. We have troops 0:29:20.840 --> 0:29:23.960 in South Korea. Yeah, because South Korea is a stable 0:29:24.320 --> 0:29:27.479 nation state under threat from an external regime. I understand that, 0:29:27.760 --> 0:29:29.680 but no one's really worried that South Korea is going 0:29:29.720 --> 0:29:32.280 to dissolve anytime soon, or that our troops are going 0:29:32.320 --> 0:29:35.200 to come under assault, you know, driving down the streets 0:29:35.240 --> 0:29:38.440 of Seoul. They are worried about that. In Kabble, in 0:29:38.560 --> 0:29:44.960 Jalalabad and coast, in different parts of Afghanistan, they are 0:29:44.960 --> 0:29:50.560 concerned about that is that is a problem. So I 0:29:50.600 --> 0:29:52.360 think that this is where we have to say, you're 0:29:52.400 --> 0:29:58.360 going to see you're going to see a decision point 0:29:58.400 --> 0:30:02.400 here for the up administration in Afghanistan and for Iroq. 0:30:02.560 --> 0:30:05.200 This is forcing our hand that we will have to 0:30:05.240 --> 0:30:07.880 be willing to leave these places and leave them knowing 0:30:08.160 --> 0:30:11.920 that very bad things will happen, and that yes, eighty 0:30:11.920 --> 0:30:15.239 second Airborne, Yes a marine expeditionary force. Our soldiers are 0:30:15.320 --> 0:30:18.840 troops who are good people, who do good things, who 0:30:18.840 --> 0:30:24.440 are the most talented, exceptional and humane fighting force the 0:30:24.440 --> 0:30:28.480 world has ever known. We could stop it, but we 0:30:28.520 --> 0:30:30.400 would have to take responsibility again and we would have 0:30:30.400 --> 0:30:31.640 to lose our people, and we don't want to do 0:30:31.640 --> 0:30:35.000 it anymore. Maybe other countries need to start figuring out 0:30:35.080 --> 0:30:36.720 some stuff on their own. They're going to be messy, 0:30:36.760 --> 0:30:40.560 messy places, and maybe all of a sudden Trump has 0:30:40.640 --> 0:30:43.120 brought to the fore the possibility that we won't be 0:30:43.720 --> 0:30:46.920 building these countries anymore, we won't be responsible for their elections, 0:30:46.960 --> 0:30:49.480 and they're no done with that. And by the way, 0:30:49.480 --> 0:30:52.080 if anybody in those countries then, or if those countries 0:30:52.120 --> 0:30:55.120 are used as launch pads for attacks, or even if 0:30:55.120 --> 0:30:58.280 the national government decides to wage war in the United States, 0:30:58.320 --> 0:31:02.760 as Iran has been doing, we will go back at 0:31:02.800 --> 0:31:07.840 them in a way that right now feels perhaps excessive 0:31:07.920 --> 0:31:11.720 to some of us, but that excess may bring about 0:31:11.760 --> 0:31:14.400 a new reality where countries know that will no longer 0:31:14.440 --> 0:31:18.080 cross us. Or the idea of a Kassams Solimani, a 0:31:18.160 --> 0:31:23.200 very senior government official from a foreign nation state, wouldn't 0:31:23.280 --> 0:31:28.120 dream of taking selfies and smiling while he's thinking about 0:31:28.160 --> 0:31:32.200 the next operation against US interests US troops, that somebody 0:31:32.200 --> 0:31:34.680 with the blood of so many hundreds of American soldiers, 0:31:35.480 --> 0:31:39.280 soldiers who never made it home to this country, because 0:31:39.320 --> 0:31:41.960 Kassams Solimani wanted to do the bidding of the mulas 0:31:42.000 --> 0:31:45.400 in a country that is not Iran, that nobody would 0:31:45.400 --> 0:31:48.040 ever consider doing that again, because they understand if you 0:31:48.160 --> 0:31:51.120 harm us like this, we will come after you, we 0:31:51.160 --> 0:31:54.240 will kill you. We don't care what bureaucrats in Europe say. 0:31:54.520 --> 0:31:57.480 We don't care what the so called international consensus of 0:31:57.640 --> 0:32:04.400 media elites, unfortunately overwhelmingly staffed with vain cowards. We don't 0:32:04.440 --> 0:32:07.240 care what they say. The country is going to take 0:32:07.240 --> 0:32:09.680 a different approach because the approach we have been taking 0:32:09.680 --> 0:32:13.040 on a bipartisan basis for the last twenty years has 0:32:13.080 --> 0:32:16.160 not worked, I would say for last seventy years. But 0:32:16.800 --> 0:32:21.320 a different conversation. So what I think comes next, Well 0:32:21.560 --> 0:32:23.400 for that, I might as will turn to what some 0:32:23.440 --> 0:32:28.400 of the Democrats are saying. You're in the freedom hunt. 0:32:28.840 --> 0:32:35.800 This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. As president, would 0:32:35.800 --> 0:32:39.560 you not prioritize the US military killing the leaders of 0:32:39.720 --> 0:32:45.800 organizations designated terrorist organizations? Look, the job as the president 0:32:46.120 --> 0:32:49.240 is to keep us safe. And we know in this 0:32:49.320 --> 0:32:52.520 circumstance that Donald Trump was presented with a range of 0:32:52.560 --> 0:32:56.760 options by way of response. But the point is not 0:32:56.880 --> 0:32:59.400 to try to move us closer toward the point is 0:32:59.600 --> 0:33:03.120 to move away from nim. Well. You see, if NIFF, 0:33:03.360 --> 0:33:07.000 if Donald Trump is for something, I have to be 0:33:07.120 --> 0:33:12.360 against it, even if that means taking out terrorists. Who 0:33:12.400 --> 0:33:17.280 have done terrible things. Elizabeth Warren's commander in chief. Folks. 0:33:17.360 --> 0:33:20.000 That's that's what a lot of Democrats, at least about 0:33:21.200 --> 0:33:23.400 getting up on around twenty percent of them, give for take, 0:33:23.880 --> 0:33:26.800 that's what they think should happen. You see this with 0:33:26.840 --> 0:33:30.640 all these different Democrats coming out now saying things that 0:33:30.720 --> 0:33:37.440 are simply absurd. They don't care. They don't care about 0:33:38.400 --> 0:33:40.880 what the reality is of the strike so much as 0:33:40.920 --> 0:33:43.560 they care about what the politics of the moment demand 0:33:44.000 --> 0:33:48.840 of them. To say that is the simple truth. That's 0:33:48.840 --> 0:33:51.200 what really motivates them one way or the other. Here is, 0:33:51.240 --> 0:33:57.280 for example, Senator Chris Murphy, who does confer upon Kastam 0:33:57.320 --> 0:34:03.000 Solomani a kind of special immunity play clip twenty eight place. 0:34:03.240 --> 0:34:07.200 It is an assassination. I mean, this is a top 0:34:08.320 --> 0:34:11.680 official of a foreign government, is in the head of 0:34:11.719 --> 0:34:15.279 a non state terrorist group. No matter how bad a 0:34:15.320 --> 0:34:19.000 guy he is, how evil he was, he was a 0:34:19.000 --> 0:34:23.359 commanding general of a sovereign foreign nation and we executed him. 0:34:23.520 --> 0:34:25.200 So I don't think you can call it anything other 0:34:25.239 --> 0:34:28.200 than an assassination. It's not the first time that America 0:34:28.239 --> 0:34:31.640 has been involved in assassinating a foreign official, but it's 0:34:31.640 --> 0:34:35.279 probably the most high profile foreign official that the United 0:34:35.280 --> 0:34:40.480 States military has ever executed. He seems to forget that 0:34:40.560 --> 0:34:42.839 when we declared warren Sadam Hussein, we blew up all 0:34:42.840 --> 0:34:45.399 of his palaces, not just because we wanted to see 0:34:45.440 --> 0:34:48.879 them glow in the dark. We were trying to kill him. 0:34:50.000 --> 0:34:52.560 This is the reality. This is why, in fact, even 0:34:52.600 --> 0:34:54.640 if we're talking about civilian control of a military, when 0:34:54.640 --> 0:34:56.839 you are the commander in chief of a foreign nation 0:34:57.200 --> 0:35:00.840 and you are in a state of war, guess what 0:35:02.239 --> 0:35:06.200 you are in jeopardy. That is the truth. We can 0:35:06.400 --> 0:35:08.920 persue that there's international law that prevents this and all 0:35:09.200 --> 0:35:11.960 the rest of it. But does anyone really believe if 0:35:12.080 --> 0:35:16.040 Kim Jong un was about to tell his you know, 0:35:16.080 --> 0:35:19.839 missile brigades to launch on South Korea, and we knew 0:35:19.880 --> 0:35:23.400 that taking him out would prevent that launch, does anyone 0:35:23.440 --> 0:35:25.800 really think that we'd beginning lectures about how it's a 0:35:25.800 --> 0:35:30.360 war crime to take out Kim Jong on. I just 0:35:30.440 --> 0:35:32.239 pose this to you. First of all, he's wrong on 0:35:32.280 --> 0:35:34.600 the merits as well about calling this, or just wrong 0:35:34.640 --> 0:35:39.440 technically about calling this an assassination. This was a military 0:35:39.480 --> 0:35:43.360 figure in a declared war zone, engaged in active hostilities 0:35:43.360 --> 0:35:47.400 against the United States. Do you think that we could, like, 0:35:47.480 --> 0:35:49.600 you know, we could deploy a three star general just 0:35:49.680 --> 0:35:52.719 you know, air drop him into into Iran and have 0:35:52.800 --> 0:35:54.719 him walk around and try to start calling in air 0:35:54.760 --> 0:35:57.239 strikes on targets in Tehran, and then if someone you 0:35:57.239 --> 0:35:59.879 know took him out, we'd say, whoa hold on, that's 0:35:59.880 --> 0:36:02.080 a three star general. You can't do that. That's actually 0:36:02.080 --> 0:36:04.120 not how it works, But Chris Murphy doesn't care. It's 0:36:04.120 --> 0:36:07.520 all about trashing Trump.

Iran announced 0:36:17.920 --> 0:36:24.120 today that is accelerating this nuclear program. Guests, who loses 0:36:24.160 --> 0:36:29.680 that America and its allies. There was an airtight agreement 0:36:29.760 --> 0:36:32.799 we had with inspectors on the ground, the most intrusive 0:36:33.280 --> 0:36:37.680 inspection and all of human history, not hyperbole. We knew 0:36:37.719 --> 0:36:42.960 exactly We're in every single facility the International Toomic Energy Agency, 0:36:43.000 --> 0:36:45.480 and they were not violated. They're not good guys, but 0:36:45.560 --> 0:36:48.520 they were not moving toward a nuclear weapon and there 0:36:48.600 --> 0:36:50.840 was no chance they could get there without us knowing it. 0:36:50.960 --> 0:36:53.839 At least a year to two years in advance, giving 0:36:53.920 --> 0:36:58.279 us plenty of options. Joe Biden's delusional. But remember, Joe 0:36:58.360 --> 0:37:01.600 Biden has been liably and in this way he's actually 0:37:01.760 --> 0:37:04.720 very useful on foreign policy. He has been reliably wrong 0:37:04.800 --> 0:37:08.960 on every foreign policy issue of any importance for forty years. 0:37:09.680 --> 0:37:12.440 Whatever Joe Biden wanted to do or didn't want to do, 0:37:12.840 --> 0:37:16.239 the opposite of that thing was the good idea. So 0:37:16.360 --> 0:37:18.600 Joe Biden's great in this way. Just make sure you 0:37:18.640 --> 0:37:21.960 oppose Joe Biden on any foreign policy issue and you'll 0:37:22.000 --> 0:37:24.560 be in good shape. And here he is saying this 0:37:24.600 --> 0:37:27.920 irandeal was ironclad and air tight. And well, hold on 0:37:27.920 --> 0:37:31.920 a second. What happens when the Iranians want to just 0:37:32.000 --> 0:37:35.960 decide to restart their nuclear program. It's just like, okay, 0:37:36.400 --> 0:37:40.239 let the assembly line start going again. We're supposed to 0:37:40.320 --> 0:37:42.880 live with that as the reality of the Iranian state. 0:37:43.560 --> 0:37:45.640 We're supposed to let the Iranians. And by the way, 0:37:45.440 --> 0:37:48.440 they always leave this out, there were sunset provisions in 0:37:48.480 --> 0:37:52.399 this process. No sunset on the Iranian nuclear program. Mind 0:37:52.440 --> 0:37:55.160 you just if you obey. If you do, you know 0:37:55.200 --> 0:37:57.200 what we've outlined in this agreement, which allows them to 0:37:57.280 --> 0:38:01.160 keep their nuclear program, keep sending aid to terrorist regimes 0:38:01.200 --> 0:38:03.680 all across the Middle East, threatening our people, taking our 0:38:03.760 --> 0:38:06.120 navy sailors hostage, making a mockery of them. All the 0:38:06.120 --> 0:38:09.080 stuff that they've done, all the things, all the provocations 0:38:09.120 --> 0:38:15.239 from Iran, and with all of that, they could still 0:38:15.280 --> 0:38:17.200 at any point in time do exactly what they're now 0:38:17.280 --> 0:38:20.000 threatening to do, which is just start spinning the center 0:38:20.000 --> 0:38:22.720 fugues again. And they think this was a good agreement. 0:38:22.760 --> 0:38:26.360 Why should we live within Iranian state that is already there, 0:38:26.960 --> 0:38:31.719 that is at that point. Oh, I'm sorry, We're gonna 0:38:31.760 --> 0:38:34.480 wait five or ten years till Costam Solomani, for example, Well, 0:38:34.520 --> 0:38:38.319 this isn't a problem anymore because he's he's taking a 0:38:38.440 --> 0:38:41.319 very long nap. But while Kastam Solomani, he was going 0:38:41.360 --> 0:38:43.120 to come off this sanctions list. They were saying at 0:38:43.120 --> 0:38:45.719 one point come off a nuclear sanctions list. Other individuals 0:38:45.719 --> 0:38:47.800 are going to get removed from it in time. And 0:38:47.920 --> 0:38:51.239 there were all these inducements and all along Iran gets 0:38:51.239 --> 0:38:55.600 to keep the essential infrastructure for its nuclear program, and 0:38:55.680 --> 0:38:58.840 eventually the agreement just sort of isn't an agreement anymore. 0:38:58.880 --> 0:39:02.799 Oh so that's great, So let's Iran develop much more 0:39:02.920 --> 0:39:06.920 of its critical military infrastructure, become much wealthier, become entrenched 0:39:07.440 --> 0:39:10.839 in the international financial system, find all kinds of ways 0:39:10.840 --> 0:39:14.520 to hide assets, to build up its coffers, to modernize 0:39:14.560 --> 0:39:17.879 its military. Let's give her on a decade of no 0:39:18.040 --> 0:39:21.520 worries of external strikes, keeping their military, I mean, keeping 0:39:21.560 --> 0:39:24.200 their nuclear program in place, while their military gets stronger, 0:39:24.200 --> 0:39:27.319 their government gets richer. And then at the end of that, 0:39:27.920 --> 0:39:29.640 we'll just come up with some other idea of what 0:39:29.680 --> 0:39:30.960 we're going to tell them. You see, no at the 0:39:31.000 --> 0:39:32.160 end of that, and then we have to say, hold 0:39:32.200 --> 0:39:35.160 on a second. A bigger, wealthier iron with better weapon systems, 0:39:35.160 --> 0:39:38.080 a better military could just decide, you know what, we're 0:39:38.120 --> 0:39:42.000 going nuclear now, what are you going to do about it? 0:39:42.880 --> 0:39:47.400 So here's the other problem. Rogue states that get nuclear weapons, 0:39:47.440 --> 0:39:50.720 then we're in the North Korea situation where it becomes 0:39:50.800 --> 0:39:53.080 very very different. You know, we're ever going to get 0:39:53.080 --> 0:39:55.000 her on to give up its nukes once they have them, 0:39:55.320 --> 0:39:57.799 It's never going to happen. So all they have to 0:39:57.840 --> 0:40:00.560 do is get to that place. And if they raised 0:40:00.560 --> 0:40:02.640 the calculation, if they make it hard enough for us 0:40:02.800 --> 0:40:05.080 to be able to eradicate their nuclear program because their 0:40:05.120 --> 0:40:09.560 military advances because they become a much stronger country. They 0:40:09.560 --> 0:40:12.640 were greatly weakened when Obama came in. Their economy was 0:40:12.680 --> 0:40:15.799 in free fall. Things are not good in Iran. There's 0:40:15.840 --> 0:40:18.160 all kinds of tumult. They just had to execute in 0:40:18.200 --> 0:40:22.799 the streets hundreds of protesters, right, so there is real 0:40:22.840 --> 0:40:26.000 instability in this country the young people. I mean, this 0:40:26.120 --> 0:40:30.600 is often forgotten. There were such great losses from the 0:40:30.640 --> 0:40:32.560 Iran Iraq and keep bringing this up, but it's important 0:40:32.560 --> 0:40:34.040 to understand where we are now with Iran. There were 0:40:34.080 --> 0:40:36.680 such great losses from the Iran Iraq civil War that 0:40:36.760 --> 0:40:39.399 the Molas decided that they needed to pay major state 0:40:39.520 --> 0:40:44.080 subsidies so that Iranian women would have more children. And 0:40:44.120 --> 0:40:47.120 so what you have is post the horrific war, I 0:40:47.120 --> 0:40:50.600 mean over a million casualties killed wounded, is a horrific war. 0:40:51.760 --> 0:40:55.200 In the eighties in Iran, with Iran and Iraq, they 0:40:55.320 --> 0:40:58.759 lost so many young people. They were actually using them 0:40:58.760 --> 0:41:01.560 as cannon fodder, I mean, using them as landmine fodder. 0:41:02.320 --> 0:41:04.520 They lost so many young people that they've moment said, okay, 0:41:04.520 --> 0:41:08.400 we're going to start subsidizing children to be women to 0:41:08.440 --> 0:41:12.960 have children, families to have children. And now you have 0:41:13.160 --> 0:41:16.359 this this youth bulge, which is why we keep talking 0:41:16.400 --> 0:41:18.440 about the young in Iran. You have this youth bulge 0:41:18.440 --> 0:41:21.359 a lot of people in Iran, you know, demographically, there's this, 0:41:21.640 --> 0:41:23.839 you know, there's the fat end of the wedge demographically 0:41:23.880 --> 0:41:25.680 for the Iranians is you have all these young people 0:41:25.680 --> 0:41:28.839 in their twenties and their thirties and they're like, what 0:41:28.960 --> 0:41:33.319 is this regime stinks? Your dam's terrible? What are we 0:41:33.360 --> 0:41:36.480 doing here now? Can they say that openly? Of course not. 0:41:37.760 --> 0:41:41.560 You know, the Iranian security and military apparatus is very 0:41:41.640 --> 0:41:47.760 invested and has become unfortunately quite adept at suppressing those voices. 0:41:47.800 --> 0:41:51.400 But they got a problem because eventually enough young people 0:41:51.480 --> 0:41:56.400 have no real future, no economic mobility, no freedom. You 0:41:56.440 --> 0:41:59.560 know what, exactly does a twenty year old Irani today 0:41:59.600 --> 0:42:02.399 really have to look forward to under the current circumstance. 0:42:04.280 --> 0:42:07.960 So we had there are these pieces in play that 0:42:08.000 --> 0:42:11.560 would make it harder for the regime to continue doing 0:42:11.600 --> 0:42:13.399 what it does. Now. Maybe the regime isn't topple, maybe 0:42:13.400 --> 0:42:15.960 the regime just changes internally. Who knows what ends up happening. 0:42:16.080 --> 0:42:19.760 And we've been waiting for this now for over thirty years, 0:42:20.320 --> 0:42:25.520 over forty years going on fifty years, but by throwing 0:42:25.520 --> 0:42:28.400 them a lifeline. Because Obama and the Democrats and the 0:42:28.480 --> 0:42:31.919 left in this country really still have a guilt complex 0:42:32.320 --> 0:42:36.440 over Mosadek. They really feel like everything bad that's happened 0:42:36.440 --> 0:42:39.279 in Iran is somehow really the fault of the United States. 0:42:39.320 --> 0:42:41.719 You'll see some leftists who think this, it's the fault 0:42:41.760 --> 0:42:43.440 of the United States because we were involved in the 0:42:43.440 --> 0:42:46.439 coude to remove Mosadek, because we were still playing great 0:42:46.480 --> 0:42:48.920 game politics with the Soviet Union and we did not 0:42:49.040 --> 0:42:54.920 want Mosadek to be in charge in Iran. But they 0:42:54.960 --> 0:42:57.600 never then explain how it is that when the Shaw, 0:42:57.880 --> 0:43:01.399 who we helped keep in or who was a bad guy, 0:43:01.440 --> 0:43:04.520 although of course the Moullas are much worse guys, the 0:43:04.600 --> 0:43:10.560 Mola is effectively hijacked, hijack the revolution against the Shaw 0:43:10.680 --> 0:43:12.960 for their own purposes. And this so often happens in 0:43:13.040 --> 0:43:17.440 countries where a regime is ousted with force. Right that 0:43:17.480 --> 0:43:19.759 there's a legitimate grievance, of course, because that's how you 0:43:19.760 --> 0:43:25.000 have popular mobilization against a government for government's doing really well. 0:43:25.120 --> 0:43:26.440 I mean, you know, there's a reason why I'm not 0:43:26.440 --> 0:43:29.680 seeing popular mobilization against the Swiss or against Singapore against 0:43:29.680 --> 0:43:31.680 Norway or something people like, Yeah, things are pretty good. 0:43:32.680 --> 0:43:39.480 A government has to be inept, decrepid, ineffectual, oppressive, but 0:43:39.560 --> 0:43:41.040 that doesn't mean that the people that end up in 0:43:41.080 --> 0:43:44.879 power once that government is gone are in any way 0:43:44.960 --> 0:43:47.239 really an improvement. And that's what you have in Iran. 0:43:47.320 --> 0:43:50.880 So it is in effect the fault of the Iranian 0:43:50.960 --> 0:43:53.320 it is, you know, Iran is an Iran problem ultimately, 0:43:53.360 --> 0:43:56.080 and again we're going to some pretty basic as some 0:43:56.120 --> 0:43:59.160 truisms here, some things that are self evident, but sometimes 0:43:59.160 --> 0:44:02.480 self evident truth need to be repeated. It is the 0:44:02.480 --> 0:44:06.640 Iranian people who have or it is Iranians who hijack 0:44:06.680 --> 0:44:09.640 the Iranian revolution against the Shah and have made this 0:44:09.719 --> 0:44:13.680 country into a place that is an abysmal failure in 0:44:13.680 --> 0:44:18.960 so many ways as a state. After you know, millennia 0:44:19.040 --> 0:44:26.600 of withstanding cultural onslaught dealing with I mean, you go 0:44:26.680 --> 0:44:28.960 back through through Persian history and the fact that Persians 0:44:29.040 --> 0:44:33.760 even just maintain their language and this cultural distinctiveness from 0:44:34.160 --> 0:44:40.000 the huge surge of what was effectively Arab Muslim expansionism'm 0:44:40.040 --> 0:44:42.000 starting in the seventh century with the Propah Muhammad and 0:44:42.040 --> 0:44:43.920 then going all the way the fact that the Persians 0:44:43.960 --> 0:44:46.440 were able to maintain this Persian identity, and that Persia 0:44:46.600 --> 0:44:50.000 as a polity, as a as some form of state, 0:44:50.080 --> 0:44:53.720 has existed for so long, in fact, that predates Islam. 0:44:53.880 --> 0:44:57.319 Right there's and dealt with a Mongol invasion. Some really 0:44:57.360 --> 0:45:00.600 crazy stuff happened back then. They have main attained this, 0:45:01.400 --> 0:45:05.279 and yet they continue on. Thanks for listening to the 0:45:05.400 --> 0:45:09.480 Bus Sesson Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcast, 0:45:09.640 --> 0:45:12.879 the iHeart Radio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. 0:45:14.000 --> 0:45:16.439 We will defend American in the strikes we took over 0:45:16.440 --> 0:45:20.319 this past week, including killing the terrorist Solomoni. We will 0:45:20.360 --> 0:45:23.239 continue to take if we need to. The American people 0:45:23.239 --> 0:45:25.520 should know we will always defend them, and we'll do 0:45:25.600 --> 0:45:27.600 so in a way that is consistent with the international 0:45:27.680 --> 0:45:30.520 rule of law. You can always tell who you should 0:45:30.520 --> 0:45:33.839 like in this administration based on how much Democrats hate 0:45:33.840 --> 0:45:38.560 that person. Very important. It's an ironclad rule at this point. 0:45:38.719 --> 0:45:42.480 The more they despise a member of Trump's cabinet, inner 0:45:42.520 --> 0:45:46.400 circle and advise or anybody, the more effective that person 0:45:46.520 --> 0:45:48.319 is and the more a threat that person is to 0:45:48.360 --> 0:45:50.200 the progressive left wing agenda. And so that's why I 0:45:50.200 --> 0:45:52.759 can tell you that Pompeo is good at what he 0:45:52.840 --> 0:45:55.880 does and is a good choice, has been a good 0:45:55.960 --> 0:45:59.279 choice for the administration because man who lives hate him 0:45:59.320 --> 0:46:01.759 almost as much as they hate Bill Barr, who is 0:46:01.800 --> 0:46:06.799 probably the single biggest threat to left wing attempts to 0:46:06.880 --> 0:46:10.080 ouse this president using the weaponization of the bureaucracy and 0:46:10.120 --> 0:46:15.960 the abuse of congressional power and the dj and all 0:46:15.960 --> 0:46:19.480 the rest of it. Russia, Russia, all that stuff. But 0:46:20.920 --> 0:46:23.480 the strike that was taken here has obviously set up 0:46:23.520 --> 0:46:27.560 a situation where we could see a major retaliation. I 0:46:27.640 --> 0:46:30.480 don't know what exactly is going to happen, as I've 0:46:30.480 --> 0:46:33.520 been telling you, I do know that there are hundreds 0:46:33.520 --> 0:46:35.400 of thousands of protesters that are going on the streets 0:46:35.440 --> 0:46:37.959 in Iran, and from that we are supposed to take 0:46:40.280 --> 0:46:45.800 take the Democrats word that this is representative of the 0:46:45.920 --> 0:46:48.120 broad opinion of the Iranian people, which I don't think 0:46:48.200 --> 0:46:50.960 is true. And we're also supposed to believe that this 0:46:51.000 --> 0:46:57.160 is somehow a marked departure from what existed before. Oh 0:46:57.200 --> 0:46:59.480 and also you have to I didn't get to this before. 0:46:59.680 --> 0:47:01.960 They say that Trump is lying. That is of course 0:47:01.960 --> 0:47:03.920 a part of this, that there was no imminent attack 0:47:03.920 --> 0:47:06.960 of this is all all a fraud. Here here is 0:47:06.960 --> 0:47:11.720 the President just speaking his mind on what exactly pushed 0:47:11.760 --> 0:47:16.000 him to take this very decisive action. Clay Clip forty two. Please, 0:47:16.920 --> 0:47:22.560 Salomany was plotting imminent and sinister attacks on American diplomats 0:47:22.560 --> 0:47:26.560 and military personnel, but we caught him in the act 0:47:27.800 --> 0:47:34.680 and terminated him. Under my leadership, America's policy is unambiguous. 0:47:34.680 --> 0:47:39.880 To terrorists who harm or intend to harm any Americans, 0:47:40.239 --> 0:47:43.359 we will find you, we will eliminate you. We will 0:47:43.360 --> 0:47:48.960 always protect our diplomats, service members, all Americans and our allies. 0:47:50.320 --> 0:47:55.200 For years, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and it's ruthless 0:47:55.760 --> 0:48:00.960 kud's force under Solomoni's leadership, has targeted, injured, and murdered 0:48:01.040 --> 0:48:05.759 hundreds of American civilians and servicemen. The recent attacks on 0:48:05.960 --> 0:48:10.160 US targets in Iraq, including rocket strikes that killed an 0:48:10.160 --> 0:48:15.160 American and injured for American servicemen very badly, as well 0:48:15.200 --> 0:48:19.319 as a violence assault on our embassy in Baghdad, were 0:48:19.400 --> 0:48:25.440 carried out at the direction of Solomny. Solomny made the 0:48:25.640 --> 0:48:30.560 death of innocent people his sick passion, and yet the 0:48:30.640 --> 0:48:35.440 Democrats seem to mourn his passing. They will say, we 0:48:35.440 --> 0:48:37.680 don't mourn his passing. But then they'll say, this is 0:48:37.680 --> 0:48:40.120 a terrible decision. We're now close to war. Trump never 0:48:40.120 --> 0:48:43.160 should have done this. And some of the media referred 0:48:43.120 --> 0:48:47.520 to him was what was it, the most revered military 0:48:47.520 --> 0:48:50.359 figure in Iran. That was how they referred to him. 0:48:50.360 --> 0:48:57.600 Oh wow. And then you have, of course, the conspiracy 0:48:57.640 --> 0:49:03.799 theories wagged the dog. Perhaps they say, here is Elizabeth 0:49:03.920 --> 0:49:08.560 Warren trying to pull this all together in one perfect 0:49:08.560 --> 0:49:13.120 little package for insane Trump deranged Democrats play thirty eight. 0:49:13.680 --> 0:49:17.480 The question is why now? Why not a month ago? 0:49:17.600 --> 0:49:21.280 Why not a month from now? And the administration simply 0:49:21.360 --> 0:49:25.080 can't keep its story straight. It points in all different directions. 0:49:25.520 --> 0:49:28.800 The last time we saw this was this past summer 0:49:28.960 --> 0:49:33.879 over Ukraine, when people started asking questions about what had 0:49:33.920 --> 0:49:36.200 happened on the phone call between Donald Trump and the 0:49:36.239 --> 0:49:40.400 President of Ukraine and why a to Ukraine had been stopped. 0:49:40.680 --> 0:49:43.160 The administration did the same thing. They pointed all different 0:49:43.160 --> 0:49:45.279 directions and give a whole lot of different answers. And 0:49:45.320 --> 0:49:47.839 of course what it turned out to be is that 0:49:47.960 --> 0:49:51.000 Donald Trump was doing what Donald Trump does, and that 0:49:51.160 --> 0:49:57.279 is he was advancing his own personal political interests. And 0:49:57.600 --> 0:50:04.359 I think the questioning reasonably question people reasonably ask is 0:50:04.719 --> 0:50:08.560 next week Donald Trump faces the shark potentially of an 0:50:08.560 --> 0:50:17.719 impeachment trial, and all why Now, that's Elizabeth Warren in 0:50:17.800 --> 0:50:26.320 the most slimy, dishonest, passive, aggressive way possible, saying that 0:50:26.360 --> 0:50:30.640 Trump killed Custom Solimani because of the impeachment trial. Yeah, 0:50:30.680 --> 0:50:33.239 the impeachment that, by the way, makes Democrats unless you're 0:50:33.320 --> 0:50:36.400 unless you're somebody who's just delusional. This whole impeachment thing 0:50:36.480 --> 0:50:40.000 is ridiculous. Nancy Pelosi saying there's urgency. Now they're saying, 0:50:40.000 --> 0:50:41.719 whoa wha, we don't get the witnesses we want. We're 0:50:41.719 --> 0:50:44.000 not even going to hand over the articles of impeachment. 0:50:44.040 --> 0:50:45.840 I'm also seeing that they might add a third article 0:50:46.239 --> 0:50:50.200 of impeachment, probably killing Cosum Solimani. Well, first, first, the 0:50:50.239 --> 0:50:55.160 Democrats are waiting for the Ninth Circuit of Appeals to 0:50:55.360 --> 0:51:00.879 rule the Kossum Solimani strike unconstitutional, I'm sure. And then 0:51:01.000 --> 0:51:05.680 Nancy Pelosi, Nancy Pelosi, will you know, add add on 0:51:05.760 --> 0:51:09.560 to this right then she'll make it another article of impeachment. 0:51:09.560 --> 0:51:12.960 They'll stack what they already have with the third article impeachment, 0:51:13.040 --> 0:51:18.120 and he killed Kasum Solamani, a revered military leader and 0:51:18.280 --> 0:51:23.279 austere religious scholar. According to Libs, we could see something 0:51:23.320 --> 0:51:25.200 like that happened. In fact, Nancy Pelosi is as if 0:51:25.239 --> 0:51:32.360 we haven't seen enough just ridiculous politics from the Democrats. Recently, 0:51:32.400 --> 0:51:38.320 Pelosi has announced that she and the Democrats are going 0:51:38.400 --> 0:51:43.279 to pass a war Powers Resolute or have I should say, 0:51:43.280 --> 0:51:48.760 a Warpowers resolution vote because the Democrats who march in lockstep. 0:51:48.760 --> 0:51:51.439 You gotta give Democrats credit. They're like the borg from 0:51:51.480 --> 0:51:53.799 Star Trek. I mean, they're just like a machine that 0:51:53.920 --> 0:51:57.600 is always unified and in lockstep on these issues. We 0:51:57.680 --> 0:51:59.759 have all these fights. You know, in the Republican sign 0:52:00.120 --> 0:52:01.680 people that are, oh, I know, but this I know 0:52:01.719 --> 0:52:05.160 about that? Democrats, it's oh, is that? What is that? What? 0:52:05.200 --> 0:52:08.120 The status the socialist, the progressives, the wokeness is that 0:52:08.120 --> 0:52:13.680 what they want? Boom, everybody does it, Obamacare, everybody on 0:52:13.760 --> 0:52:17.600 board for it, getting rid of Trump or you know, 0:52:17.640 --> 0:52:20.560 impeaching him, which they know won't really get rid of him. 0:52:20.560 --> 0:52:22.799 But almost all of them were I think what there 0:52:22.880 --> 0:52:26.680 was one Tulsie Gavard was a voted presence. Right. Then 0:52:26.680 --> 0:52:29.400 there's that one Democrat who switch sides, but people have 0:52:29.400 --> 0:52:31.359 already kind of mean. Look, I forgot the guy's name. 0:52:31.360 --> 0:52:34.520 People have already forgotten his name. Maybe he'll do more stuff. 0:52:34.760 --> 0:52:37.319 Point here being that the Warpowers resolution is this is 0:52:37.360 --> 0:52:40.040 just a this is for show, this is theater. No 0:52:40.120 --> 0:52:44.600 serious person thinks otherwise, Oh yeah, we're Pelos. The Democrats 0:52:44.600 --> 0:52:47.680 so worried about the Warpowers Act and the thirty days 0:52:47.800 --> 0:52:51.200 of military action for a president before having to actually 0:52:51.239 --> 0:52:53.959 cease it unless Congress continues it. Were they worried about 0:52:54.000 --> 0:52:58.000 that during oh, I don't know, Libya. Were they worried 0:52:58.040 --> 0:53:04.120 about that during the Clinton administration and in the Balkans? 0:53:05.040 --> 0:53:08.520 I just want to know where does the principle begin 0:53:08.719 --> 0:53:10.440 and the politics and the Democrats we all know the 0:53:10.480 --> 0:53:14.680 answer is that there is no place where principle exceeds politics. 0:53:14.680 --> 0:53:17.000 Politics always dictates everything that they care about, everything that 0:53:17.040 --> 0:53:22.680 they do. This is simply utterly absurd, It is dishonest. 0:53:24.200 --> 0:53:28.279 I do think that the Secretary of State Pompey would 0:53:28.320 --> 0:53:29.719 bring it back to him for a moment. Here is 0:53:29.760 --> 0:53:32.520 correct when he says, play a clip twenty four if 0:53:32.560 --> 0:53:36.080 you're an American in the region days and weeks. This 0:53:36.160 --> 0:53:38.600 is not something that's relevant. We have to prepare, we 0:53:38.680 --> 0:53:40.520 have to be ready, and we took a bad guy 0:53:40.520 --> 0:53:43.320 off the battlefield. We made the right decision. There is 0:53:43.320 --> 0:53:45.960 a less risk today to American forces in the region 0:53:45.960 --> 0:53:47.800 as a result of that tech. I'm proud of the 0:53:47.840 --> 0:53:51.200 effort the President Trump undertook and the execution while our 0:53:51.239 --> 0:53:53.480 military was phenomenal, and the work that's been done by 0:53:53.560 --> 0:53:56.439 our diplomats in the region to prepare and to work 0:53:56.440 --> 0:54:00.560 diplomatically in the region has been powerful, important and effective. Indeed, 0:54:01.520 --> 0:54:05.600 Democrats say all of that is essentially a lie, that 0:54:05.920 --> 0:54:09.080 it's not We're not better off, We're not safer. We'll 0:54:09.120 --> 0:54:12.120 see in the days and weeks ahead. Thanks for listening 0:54:12.120 --> 0:54:15.560 to The Bus Sesson Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on 0:54:15.600 --> 0:54:19.000 Apple podcast, the iHeart Radio app, or wherever you get 0:54:19.000 --> 0:54:24.720 your podcasts. Well, here's a headline that will certainly excite 0:54:24.760 --> 0:54:27.000 many many of those on the left who are hoping 0:54:27.040 --> 0:54:33.080 that President Trump crashes on the rocks of this impeachment fiasco. 0:54:34.640 --> 0:54:39.360 Former National Security Advisor Bolton is willing to testify in 0:54:39.400 --> 0:54:43.000 the Senate impeachment trial if he has subpoenaed reference. Wondering 0:54:43.000 --> 0:54:45.120 who always Bolton going to be the one who Finally, 0:54:46.160 --> 0:54:50.279 Here's where I have to say, We've been so consistent 0:54:50.440 --> 0:54:55.319 here for a long time on this. I don't care 0:54:55.360 --> 0:54:58.560 if the President did have a quid pro quo for 0:54:58.719 --> 0:55:01.759 the aid to Ukraine. I don't. I don't see this 0:55:01.800 --> 0:55:03.680 as the problem that so many other people see it as. 0:55:04.400 --> 0:55:06.560 I think the President had a legitimate interest in corruption. 0:55:06.600 --> 0:55:08.640 I think the Bidens are a legitimate target of inquiry. 0:55:09.440 --> 0:55:11.480 And you know it's interesting is that the Democrats will 0:55:11.520 --> 0:55:13.080 just aside some people are off limits, like all of 0:55:13.120 --> 0:55:16.320 a sudden, Kosam Solomoni is off limits for a military strike, 0:55:16.840 --> 0:55:20.799 for investigations, the Bidens are off limits just based on 0:55:20.840 --> 0:55:22.960 what they want. I mean, what's really the principle here, 0:55:23.880 --> 0:55:28.560 what's the separating you know, that the definitional difference between 0:55:28.680 --> 0:55:32.640 why somebody should be subject to investigation or to military 0:55:32.680 --> 0:55:36.520 strike in the case of Kasum Solomany versus somebody who 0:55:36.560 --> 0:55:39.960 isn't just the whims of the Democratic Party. It seems 0:55:40.000 --> 0:55:42.000 that is the single most important thing that we're all 0:55:42.040 --> 0:55:48.640 supposed to believe determines everything everything else. So we might 0:55:48.719 --> 0:55:51.279 have boltin test, fine, but we also don't know if 0:55:51.320 --> 0:55:52.640 there's ever going to I still have that bat with 0:55:52.640 --> 0:55:56.120 my man, Jesse Kelly, my buddy. I got to see if, 0:55:56.400 --> 0:55:59.879 in fact I'm right that Nancy Pelosi does transmit Remember 0:55:59.880 --> 0:56:02.680 I said that she would. She has to transmit them 0:56:02.719 --> 0:56:07.080 at some point otherwise it's just becomes too ridiculous. Now 0:56:07.120 --> 0:56:10.520 we're saying they're trying to maneuver after doing it. You know, 0:56:10.520 --> 0:56:14.200 they wanted the impeachment done, and now they're maneuvering to 0:56:14.600 --> 0:56:18.880 bolster the case around impeachment. Now they're maneuvering so that 0:56:18.920 --> 0:56:21.879 they can try to come up with some rationale, some 0:56:21.960 --> 0:56:24.920 explanation beyond what they've already offered for why the President 0:56:24.960 --> 0:56:30.919 of the United States should be removed from office. But 0:56:31.960 --> 0:56:35.279 they know that it's weak. They have to know at 0:56:35.320 --> 0:56:38.080 this point because it's in their interest to know that 0:56:38.120 --> 0:56:44.200 this is absurd. This is bizarre in fact, that Democrats 0:56:44.239 --> 0:56:47.319 have presented this to the American people thinking if they 0:56:47.360 --> 0:56:49.520 do think that it's going to make anyone safer, I mean, sorry, 0:56:49.520 --> 0:56:51.520 it's going to make anyone change in their mind. It 0:56:51.600 --> 0:56:54.560 will not. I saw a clip that had to do 0:56:54.600 --> 0:56:56.960 with gun safety, and all of a sudden got jumbled 0:56:56.960 --> 0:57:04.200 in my brain for a second now shift, shifty, shift. 0:57:04.239 --> 0:57:07.400 We have not heard the last of him when it 0:57:07.480 --> 0:57:11.920 comes to this impeachment fiasco. Now, Democrats still believe it. 0:57:11.920 --> 0:57:15.280 They're in a position to dictate the way the Senate 0:57:16.200 --> 0:57:19.800 is going to conduct the Senate trial. Now, So Democrats, 0:57:19.840 --> 0:57:21.880 when they're in the majority, it's their way or the highway. 0:57:22.240 --> 0:57:25.000 When Democrats are in the minority, it's oh no, but 0:57:25.040 --> 0:57:27.560 you have to do what we want because a bunch 0:57:27.560 --> 0:57:30.480 of stuff we say. But wait a second, I thought 0:57:30.480 --> 0:57:33.360 we'd already no, no no, no, because a bunch of things 0:57:33.440 --> 0:57:38.920 that we've said, Oh okay, here's Adam shift. And by 0:57:38.960 --> 0:57:41.520 the way, they also like to talk about how the 0:57:41.600 --> 0:57:46.920 election can't have any there's no election integrity going forward. 0:57:47.000 --> 0:57:49.760 If Trump wins. They're setting the groundwork for this right now. 0:57:49.840 --> 0:57:52.440 Make no mistake about it. Trump, I do believe is going. 0:57:52.880 --> 0:57:55.440 I'm gonna stop saying Trump's Look, here's my prediction. Brusen 0:57:55.480 --> 0:57:57.720 Margaret Market. Trump's gonna get re elected. Okay. I have 0:57:57.720 --> 0:58:00.000 confidence he's gonna get it done. We got four more years. Okay, 0:58:00.040 --> 0:58:01.640 I'm not gonna say anymore because you know what, I 0:58:01.680 --> 0:58:03.720 don't want us to be overconfident. I don't want people 0:58:03.760 --> 0:58:05.800 to stay home. I don't want people to think that 0:58:05.840 --> 0:58:07.840 they don't have a voice that matters in this process 0:58:07.840 --> 0:58:12.080 because Trump's got it. No. In fact, I'm worried that 0:58:12.080 --> 0:58:15.000 that will lead to Trump losing. So I'm not no 0:58:15.080 --> 0:58:17.480 more no more. I think Trump's gonna win. But now 0:58:17.480 --> 0:58:20.840 we're all in. You gotta win it. We can celebrate 0:58:20.880 --> 0:58:24.120 the victory as long as you want. After right, we 0:58:24.120 --> 0:58:26.480 can celebrate the four more years for forty years after it. 0:58:26.480 --> 0:58:29.080 I mean, looking out, we still talking about Reagan. But 0:58:29.160 --> 0:58:31.880 we got to get there first. And I do have 0:58:32.000 --> 0:58:35.320 my concerns that, look at Trump. If the wall isn't built, 0:58:36.880 --> 0:58:41.320 you know, people might get a little complacence. Democrats were 0:58:41.600 --> 0:58:45.280 caught napping in twenty sixteen, no question, and that's why 0:58:45.280 --> 0:58:47.400 they were such a outrage, such an outrage and a 0:58:47.480 --> 0:58:49.800 freak out about this. It's also why you know, all 0:58:49.800 --> 0:58:52.200 this Russia stuff that they concocted. Yeah, they knew some 0:58:52.240 --> 0:58:54.280 of them beforehand, a little you know, the Internet stuff 0:58:54.320 --> 0:58:56.680 that was going on. They didn't freak out about it, though. 0:58:56.680 --> 0:58:59.160 Why didn't they freak out because Russian interference wasn't such 0:58:59.200 --> 0:59:00.720 a big well, it wasn't such a big deal in 0:59:00.720 --> 0:59:02.840 the sense that it didn't change anything. But well, because 0:59:02.840 --> 0:59:04.959 I assumed Hillary was gonna win, so it didn't really matter. 0:59:05.800 --> 0:59:08.160 Russian interference would not have mattered. Keep this in mind, 0:59:08.440 --> 0:59:10.840 Democrats would not have cared about Russian interference in the election. 0:59:10.880 --> 0:59:13.960 Off Hillary Clinton had won, it wouldn't have mattered, Okay, 0:59:14.040 --> 0:59:16.280 because that's the right outcome. How can you be upset 0:59:16.320 --> 0:59:18.280 about the right outcome? Right? If you have a binary 0:59:18.320 --> 0:59:21.640 event one of two things, one is good, one is bad. 0:59:22.280 --> 0:59:23.960 You know if I told if I told you, you 0:59:23.960 --> 0:59:27.480 know you have a terminal disease, and you know I 0:59:28.840 --> 0:59:31.520 gave you the antidote to save you. But turns out 0:59:31.560 --> 0:59:33.760 that I stole that antidote, but you're still saved. Do 0:59:33.800 --> 0:59:36.360 you care? No, If you do not, You're just happy 0:59:36.440 --> 0:59:39.560 that you're saved. That's the way the Democrats viewed the 0:59:40.880 --> 0:59:43.160 Russian interference. The election didn't matter because Hillary was gonna win. 0:59:43.200 --> 0:59:48.280 Ohop snope, turns out Hillary didn't win. They still think 0:59:48.320 --> 0:59:52.880 she did, but she did not win. And then you 0:59:52.960 --> 0:59:55.880 have you have Shift running around being as just disingenuous 0:59:55.920 --> 0:59:58.080 and dishonest as he ever has. I mean, Shift is 0:59:58.760 --> 1:00:00.840 Shift is an abject to grace. I mean he is 1:00:00.880 --> 1:00:02.840 the worst of the worst as far as I'm concerned 1:00:03.480 --> 1:00:07.040 when it comes to any Democrat on I mean, I 1:00:07.120 --> 1:00:08.880 know he's a leading Democrat in this impeachment thing, but 1:00:08.920 --> 1:00:10.760 the guy will say anything and his whole like, oh, 1:00:10.800 --> 1:00:12.360 I'm just so upset about this, and oh, I don't 1:00:12.360 --> 1:00:15.320 want to do this. Nancy Pelosi's prayerful except when she's 1:00:15.320 --> 1:00:17.400 waving her hand to people like this, app don't do that, 1:00:18.080 --> 1:00:21.720 don't cheer. Kind a fool the remaining five morons in 1:00:21.720 --> 1:00:24.200 this country who don't realize that this is all a 1:00:24.240 --> 1:00:26.480 sham that Democrats are running against the president because the 1:00:26.480 --> 1:00:29.560 president has been so effective. There's a part of me 1:00:29.640 --> 1:00:32.360 that feels a little bit of I mean, I'm not 1:00:32.400 --> 1:00:34.760 gonna say sympathy, but I kind of get where some 1:00:34.800 --> 1:00:37.000 of the Democrats are coming from on this stuff, because 1:00:37.280 --> 1:00:40.440 what they're gonna say, we hate all this economic prosperity, 1:00:40.480 --> 1:00:45.600 relative peace and effective governance. We hate all the deregulation, 1:00:46.200 --> 1:00:50.240 the rising wages, the low unemployment, the booming stock market, 1:00:50.600 --> 1:00:54.880 the no new wars, we hate it. Securing the border, 1:00:54.920 --> 1:00:57.480 we hate it. Well, the Democrats do hate that, But 1:00:57.760 --> 1:01:01.440 the other stuff they're supposed to at least pretend, pretend 1:01:01.480 --> 1:01:05.600 that they don't hate. Although economic misery, as you know, 1:01:05.760 --> 1:01:09.800 is the most fertile ground for socialists. So economic misery 1:01:09.840 --> 1:01:12.680 if it were to continue, or rather misery if it 1:01:12.720 --> 1:01:15.280 were to arise all of a sudden in this country, 1:01:15.320 --> 1:01:16.800 if we were to have people that were really out 1:01:16.840 --> 1:01:20.160 of work, big unemployment search, then Democrats would have some 1:01:20.240 --> 1:01:22.200 kind of a case to make about how they should 1:01:22.200 --> 1:01:23.760 be in power. And that would also then allow the 1:01:23.800 --> 1:01:27.080 socialists within the Democrat ranks, although I think increasingly it's 1:01:27.080 --> 1:01:29.680 hard to tell the difference between a Democrat and a socialist, 1:01:29.720 --> 1:01:32.480 if there is any difference at all, it's just a 1:01:32.560 --> 1:01:36.560 question of degree maybe. But they don't have a case 1:01:36.640 --> 1:01:39.000 to make on the merits. So that's why they've relied 1:01:39.000 --> 1:01:44.440 on all this other stuff, the process weaponized against the president, 1:01:44.480 --> 1:01:48.080 the bureaucracy used as a check on the president of 1:01:48.160 --> 1:01:55.320 the United States. And that's also why Adam Schiff has 1:01:55.320 --> 1:01:57.200 been given all of us leeway by Democrats to run 1:01:57.240 --> 1:02:02.160 around just saying all kinds of absurd and stuff. I 1:02:02.240 --> 1:02:05.240 mentioned that he's not willing to let the election play 1:02:05.280 --> 1:02:08.320 out without first undermining election. For Mark, please play clip 1:02:08.400 --> 1:02:12.160 fifteen if you would, But what the House Council is 1:02:12.160 --> 1:02:15.080 saying is we have been trying to get testimony from 1:02:15.080 --> 1:02:17.280 people like Don McGann. We've been trying to get the 1:02:17.320 --> 1:02:20.880 grand jury material as part of the appeachment inquiry. And 1:02:21.080 --> 1:02:23.680 for those Senators who say, well, why didn't the House 1:02:23.720 --> 1:02:27.360 wait on the Ukraine articles until you exhausted the court remedies, 1:02:27.720 --> 1:02:31.760 the reason is because on those articles the president was 1:02:31.800 --> 1:02:34.880 trying to seek foreign help in the election. Is not 1:02:34.920 --> 1:02:37.760 sufficient to say let's wait another year or two years 1:02:37.760 --> 1:02:40.720 to get these witnesses in if the president is trying 1:02:40.760 --> 1:02:43.360 to cheat in the next election, So we move forward 1:02:43.400 --> 1:02:46.320 with those articles that had the greatest sense of urgency. 1:02:46.640 --> 1:02:50.360 We continue to press the case with McGann, with gran 1:02:50.400 --> 1:02:54.360 jury material, with those that weren't as urgent. And I 1:02:54.400 --> 1:02:58.040 think that makes all the sense in the world. That's 1:02:58.080 --> 1:03:03.720 a stunning, wildly dishonest charge from chef presidents trying to 1:03:03.800 --> 1:03:07.600 cheat in the next election. That's what he's That's what 1:03:07.640 --> 1:03:11.080 he's saying here. I mean, you heard him cheat. How 1:03:11.320 --> 1:03:14.840 exactly what was the cheating? Get me an answer about 1:03:14.840 --> 1:03:16.439 a thing if you can, if you have the time. 1:03:16.440 --> 1:03:19.240 At some point, thanks, Oh, no answer was given, nothing 1:03:19.320 --> 1:03:24.160 was done that's cheating an election. This is absurd. But 1:03:24.280 --> 1:03:28.280 they know Chief knows that the case was weak. This 1:03:28.440 --> 1:03:30.760 is a repeat, isn't it? These people? You know, what 1:03:30.880 --> 1:03:34.640 is the Yogi bearrah deja vu all over again? Right? 1:03:35.440 --> 1:03:40.200 Who Yogi Yogi bearra? Was? I mean he was the 1:03:41.200 --> 1:03:47.400 baseball What was the Yankee? Yes? Yeah yankee? Was he 1:03:47.440 --> 1:03:49.360 a player or manager? Is a player and he managed 1:03:49.400 --> 1:03:52.960 the Mets both, that's why Yankees. Yeah, yeah, okay, he 1:03:53.080 --> 1:03:54.800 recently passed away a couple of years ago. Oh is 1:03:54.840 --> 1:03:56.479 that so? Yeah? I was not aware of that. Maybe 1:03:56.480 --> 1:03:57.640 when its nice weather, we'll have to go you and 1:03:57.680 --> 1:03:59.440 produce a brand then also a baseball game. So yeah, 1:04:00.000 --> 1:04:02.080 I love to see you what a basic would experience America? 1:04:02.120 --> 1:04:04.280 Have you ever been to city field or arrange they serve? 1:04:04.400 --> 1:04:06.640 Do they serve rose in the stands or just beer? 1:04:07.760 --> 1:04:10.120 They have wine and stuff city field. I will say 1:04:10.440 --> 1:04:12.480 I got food and may beverages that can make it happen. 1:04:12.560 --> 1:04:15.480 That's food in baseball city field level. It's really is fantastic. 1:04:15.600 --> 1:04:18.240 It's not just ballpark hot dogs and shading fingers anymore. 1:04:18.240 --> 1:04:22.360 It's that's other stuff, fun things. A little digression here 1:04:22.400 --> 1:04:24.080 from from shift being gross. No, no no, no, no, I 1:04:24.120 --> 1:04:26.720 was gonna say. I actually went because I'm a real American. 1:04:26.720 --> 1:04:29.440 I'm wanted my family to PBR on Friday. You know 1:04:29.440 --> 1:04:33.880 what PBR is, Yeah, professional bullwriting. Yeah, why, it's amazing. 1:04:34.520 --> 1:04:36.720 How how can you add proustark thinking of anything more? 1:04:36.880 --> 1:04:39.280 I mean, you're You're grumpiness is legendary at this point. 1:04:39.480 --> 1:04:43.600 But you get to watch this amazing animal like contored 1:04:43.640 --> 1:04:45.280 and jump and do all this crazy stuff. And you 1:04:45.400 --> 1:04:48.320 got some dude who's just there with like a kevlar 1:04:48.400 --> 1:04:51.080 vestall and a cowboy hat. Try not to get him paled, 1:04:51.520 --> 1:04:54.320 trying to protect you know, his ability to have future 1:04:54.320 --> 1:04:57.240 generations of cowboys if you will. It's not an easy thing. 1:04:57.480 --> 1:04:59.440 I just worry about the mental health of these people 1:04:59.440 --> 1:05:03.600 that are doing why. I mean, it's awesome, it's so fun. Sure, 1:05:03.640 --> 1:05:06.000 it's fun to watch the super as a person who's 1:05:06.040 --> 1:05:09.680 doing it doing it. I mean, why do people jump 1:05:09.680 --> 1:05:11.840 out of planes? Man? Because it's awesome? I guess that's true. 1:05:11.960 --> 1:05:14.720 Yeah exactly, so you know, you know, I was, I 1:05:15.000 --> 1:05:16.960 like the guys that do the they wear the suit, 1:05:17.280 --> 1:05:19.120 you know, and they like fly through the air with 1:05:19.160 --> 1:05:21.200 their arms out inside wear what that's what that's called. 1:05:21.200 --> 1:05:23.560 Like the human flying sing no, no, no no, no, human 1:05:23.560 --> 1:05:26.840 flying squirrel thing. That's super dangerous. But people definitely die 1:05:26.880 --> 1:05:28.800 doing that, and there was like, oh well it's very 1:05:28.840 --> 1:05:31.520 danger I jumping out of planes. PBR is awesome for 1:05:31.560 --> 1:05:34.200 a bunch of reasons. One is it's everyone's there just 1:05:34.240 --> 1:05:36.560 have a good time. And there's no there's no like 1:05:36.640 --> 1:05:39.280 one team hating the other team thing. There's no like, 1:05:39.400 --> 1:05:42.520 oh well we can't we can't be friends because you're 1:05:42.560 --> 1:05:46.480 an island as fan, for example, and I'm a a 1:05:46.640 --> 1:05:49.040 Maple Leafs. Are they still a team? They are? They 1:05:49.400 --> 1:05:52.360 want to be a Leaf fan? A How many of 1:05:52.360 --> 1:05:55.360 the original six hockey teams? Can you name the original 1:05:55.480 --> 1:05:59.919 six National Hockey League teams? The Maple Leafs, Yeah that ball, 1:06:00.040 --> 1:06:03.400 I just gave you one. The Kings, No, LA did 1:06:03.400 --> 1:06:06.000 not get hockey till the seventies. The New York Rangers, Yes, 1:06:06.080 --> 1:06:10.000 that is one of them. The Red Wings. Wow. Yeah 1:06:10.120 --> 1:06:11.840 you know I know this. By the way, why because 1:06:11.840 --> 1:06:14.320 I used to relay Nintendo hockey game back and like 1:06:14.360 --> 1:06:16.240 the Ladies when there were like only a few teams. 1:06:16.640 --> 1:06:18.360 Remember that. I'm trying to remember the team that was 1:06:18.440 --> 1:06:20.720 right after expansion. Yeah, but I'm but I'm just saying 1:06:20.800 --> 1:06:22.440 like it was. You know, so I just remember some 1:06:22.480 --> 1:06:25.840 of those teams. The Oilers. No, no, that's wait, no, 1:06:25.920 --> 1:06:27.360 what am I trying to think? I'm not the Oilers. 1:06:27.400 --> 1:06:29.760 There's a team that's they were they? Honey? The Oilers 1:06:29.760 --> 1:06:32.480 are a hockey Yeah, they are not an original Okay, 1:06:32.560 --> 1:06:37.680 I was Oilers. You're missing the Montreal Canadians. That's a team, yes, 1:06:38.560 --> 1:06:43.280 Boston Bruins. Okay, the Bruins. I should have gotten the Bruins. Okay, 1:06:43.320 --> 1:06:45.480 and the Chicago Blackhawks. That's the last one. I never 1:06:45.520 --> 1:06:46.760 I didn't even know that was it. I've never even 1:06:46.840 --> 1:06:48.480 heard of that. Wow. Yeah, I thought that was like 1:06:48.520 --> 1:06:51.480 a Triple A baseball team. Wait, anyway, learning learning new 1:06:51.520 --> 1:06:53.360 things that we go. I'm just telling you all, PBR 1:06:54.120 --> 1:06:56.280 is really fun. I had a great time. Family was there. 1:06:57.120 --> 1:06:59.600 You get to see the bulls, and you know, you 1:06:59.640 --> 1:07:01.160 also you kind of like if you want to get 1:07:01.200 --> 1:07:02.320 up and go get a drink, it's one of these 1:07:02.320 --> 1:07:03.919 things too. Were like, you're not missing that much because 1:07:03.960 --> 1:07:05.520 like there'll be another bull ride in a a minute, you know, 1:07:05.560 --> 1:07:07.920 so it's not like you've missed a big touchdown or something. 1:07:08.000 --> 1:07:09.800 How long does that take? Like? How long is a 1:07:09.880 --> 1:07:14.160 whole event? It's like it's like a two hour, hour 1:07:14.280 --> 1:07:16.120 forty five it's not in the long it's not long. 1:07:16.160 --> 1:07:17.800 It's not like a football game. When you arrived for 1:07:17.800 --> 1:07:19.760 the tailgating, you're there all day, you know, it's like 1:07:19.800 --> 1:07:21.360 it's like an hour and forty five whatever. It's like 1:07:21.400 --> 1:07:24.240 a quick entertainment. A question for you, though, this is 1:07:24.280 --> 1:07:26.280 one that I talked to my family members about. Um, 1:07:27.000 --> 1:07:30.360 how much would I have to pay you without any training? 1:07:31.040 --> 1:07:33.040 But you got it and you gotta get on the 1:07:33.080 --> 1:07:35.920 bull and you have to try your very best to 1:07:35.920 --> 1:07:37.880 stay on for eight seconds. That's gonna be on for 1:07:37.920 --> 1:07:40.880 eight seconds to score? How long would I How much 1:07:40.880 --> 1:07:43.440 would I have to pay you to get you to 1:07:43.560 --> 1:07:45.600 get on that bull? Did you ask your family about 1:07:45.640 --> 1:07:49.200 me specific No, I have them about themselves. One of 1:07:49.240 --> 1:07:52.880 their individual price point for this it had it would 1:07:52.880 --> 1:07:54.920 have to be in the six figures. Oh yeah, that's 1:07:55.040 --> 1:07:58.560 oh yeah, because you're risking correct terrible injury exactly. That's 1:07:58.560 --> 1:08:00.960 what I'm not to pay my medical bills plus something. 1:08:00.960 --> 1:08:02.600 That's what I'm saying. I was like, I was like, yeah, 1:08:02.600 --> 1:08:03.960 I mean you think you do it for like a 1:08:03.960 --> 1:08:06.280 couple of thousand bucks. I'll think you're like, except if 1:08:06.280 --> 1:08:09.120 I separated my shoulder, I had like a lifelong injury 1:08:09.160 --> 1:08:11.880 from it. So have you ever done one at a bar? Like, oh, yeah, 1:08:11.920 --> 1:08:14.600 there's one in Dallas. There's a place in Dallas on 1:08:14.840 --> 1:08:18.400 McKinney Street where I am legendary for both my buck 1:08:18.479 --> 1:08:20.560 hunter skills as well as being able to ride the 1:08:20.600 --> 1:08:25.360 mechanical bowl like a superstar. Before we're after alcohol only after. 1:08:25.880 --> 1:08:28.679 I'm great at both only after all right, shifty Shift 1:08:28.800 --> 1:08:33.920 is coming back. You're in the freedom hud. This is 1:08:33.960 --> 1:08:40.040 the Buck Sexton Show podcast. But that's not what the 1:08:40.080 --> 1:08:43.800 American people want. It's not what the founders contemplated. And 1:08:43.840 --> 1:08:46.480 if you ask even a majority of Republicans around the country, 1:08:46.760 --> 1:08:50.040 they want the evidence to come out. And so I 1:08:50.080 --> 1:08:53.360 think that withholding the articles has thus far flushed out 1:08:53.520 --> 1:08:56.759 where Mitch McConnell's coming from. It's required senators go on record, 1:08:57.400 --> 1:09:00.400 and it's my hope that that pressure will result in 1:09:00.479 --> 1:09:03.840 a real trial fairly American people. That's right. You've got 1:09:03.880 --> 1:09:08.200 Adam Schiff here telling you that everyone wants the evidence 1:09:08.240 --> 1:09:10.519 to come out, which is such a dishonest way of 1:09:10.520 --> 1:09:12.880 framing the issue, because yeah, of course, of course everyone 1:09:12.920 --> 1:09:18.000 wants the evidence to come out, but they don't want Democrats, 1:09:18.040 --> 1:09:19.760 if they were asked this question in a way that 1:09:19.840 --> 1:09:22.400 was more honest, the situation. No, they don't want a 1:09:22.439 --> 1:09:24.960 situation where Democrats get to determine what evidence has presented, 1:09:25.040 --> 1:09:30.080 what evidence is suppressed, what witnesses get call, what witnesses don't. 1:09:30.120 --> 1:09:33.080 We've already gone through this. Democrats got to do exactly 1:09:33.120 --> 1:09:35.240 what they wanted, exactly the way they wanted to do 1:09:35.280 --> 1:09:38.000 in the House, and now in the Senate they're doing 1:09:38.000 --> 1:09:42.320 everything that they can to try and gain this process too, 1:09:42.360 --> 1:09:44.280 even though they don't have the votes. They are not 1:09:44.400 --> 1:09:46.920 in charge, but they think they can still act like 1:09:47.000 --> 1:09:51.599 they are in charge. These people are all right, disgrace. 1:09:52.000 --> 1:09:55.439 I still think that Nancy Pelosi is going to transmit 1:09:55.479 --> 1:09:58.000 the articles of impeachment, but now I'm thinking that and 1:09:58.040 --> 1:10:00.800 this might be a way that we'll have to see 1:10:00.800 --> 1:10:03.160 how the judges would rule on this. In my little 1:10:03.160 --> 1:10:07.439 wager here or their friend Jesse Kelly, they may add something, 1:10:07.479 --> 1:10:09.960 so they may kind of hold it and then add 1:10:10.000 --> 1:10:11.800 to it and then transmit it, which is a middle 1:10:11.800 --> 1:10:14.920 way path between transmitting it as is, or just not 1:10:14.960 --> 1:10:20.320 transmitting the articles of impeachment at all. And this is 1:10:20.360 --> 1:10:23.320 also you have more evidence of this, bind them claiming 1:10:23.320 --> 1:10:25.639 that there's more evidence. Play a sixteen here, here's more 1:10:25.640 --> 1:10:29.720 shifty shift. But we also start out by having the 1:10:29.760 --> 1:10:32.439 documents come out. And the documents that have been coming 1:10:32.439 --> 1:10:36.040 out lately are increasingly incriminating of the president. You can 1:10:36.040 --> 1:10:38.759 see why they want to cover those up. Those documents 1:10:38.760 --> 1:10:43.559 ought to be provided as well. Just fantasy land stuff. 1:10:43.880 --> 1:10:45.920 Just make up whatever you have to make up now 1:10:46.280 --> 1:10:48.439 to try to increase the political pressure, to try to 1:10:48.479 --> 1:10:52.599 create a change in perception that's advantageous to democrats. That's 1:10:52.600 --> 1:10:55.360 what is, That's what's underwear. That's what they are trying 1:10:56.080 --> 1:11:01.320 to do. And I've got to tell you, folks, if 1:11:01.360 --> 1:11:04.719 we start an app it on this one, there's nothing 1:11:04.720 --> 1:11:08.400 these Democrats are There's nothing that is too shameful for 1:11:08.439 --> 1:11:10.439 them to do if it's going to hurt Trump in 1:11:10.439 --> 1:11:13.880 this selection year. I mean, they are completely insane with 1:11:13.920 --> 1:11:17.320 their hatred of this president and his supporters, and they 1:11:17.400 --> 1:11:18.920 really do. I think that a lot of them have 1:11:19.040 --> 1:11:21.760 convinced themselves. I never know who is being cynical as 1:11:21.800 --> 1:11:23.920 a Democrat and who is a true believer. I think 1:11:23.920 --> 1:11:26.040 there are enough true believers who really think that the 1:11:26.080 --> 1:11:28.840 country is at stake here unless they cheat to win. 1:11:29.520 --> 1:11:33.000 Thanks for listening to the Bus Sesson Show podcasts. Remember 1:11:33.040 --> 1:11:36.799 to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever 1:11:36.880 --> 1:11:43.040 you get your podcasts. They're raging bushfires all over Australia 1:11:43.240 --> 1:11:45.719 right now. It has been getting a lot of international attention. 1:11:46.360 --> 1:11:51.080 And this is a moment, a moment in time when 1:11:51.120 --> 1:11:55.639 I think we could all try to learn a few 1:11:55.680 --> 1:12:00.800 things about what is useful conversation and situation like this 1:12:00.840 --> 1:12:05.920 and what is just more virtue signaling by leftists. There's 1:12:05.920 --> 1:12:10.240 certainly no shortage event going on these days. Here's the 1:12:10.840 --> 1:12:13.920 latest update. I mean, you've got the death toll from 1:12:13.920 --> 1:12:18.479 Australia's bush fires at twenty five. The Prime Minister of 1:12:18.479 --> 1:12:22.000 Australia has said that there'll be an additional one point 1:12:22.040 --> 1:12:24.800 four billion dollars in recovery efforts. And so you have 1:12:24.840 --> 1:12:27.160 these little horrible fires all across Australia. Keep in mind 1:12:27.200 --> 1:12:30.880 the landmass of Australia is absolutely enormous, but the destruction 1:12:30.960 --> 1:12:34.280 I think is already double in terms of acres burned 1:12:34.320 --> 1:12:37.679 it's double what you had in the worst fire season 1:12:37.720 --> 1:12:42.040 in recent years in California. So these are really out 1:12:42.040 --> 1:12:46.679 of control of bush fires and it's clearly a major problem. 1:12:46.880 --> 1:12:49.080 It is terrible what's going on because of wildlife can't 1:12:49.160 --> 1:12:53.400 escape this stuff. Now there is an environmental, major environmental 1:12:53.400 --> 1:12:56.000 factor here. You have a particularly dry season, not a 1:12:56.040 --> 1:13:00.120 lot of rain, and it's hot, very hot, very dry, 1:13:00.200 --> 1:13:03.280 and so yes, you are having a number of fires. 1:13:03.360 --> 1:13:05.760 And this even came up in the Golden Globes when 1:13:05.760 --> 1:13:09.559 you had Russell Crowe got an award in absentia and 1:13:10.960 --> 1:13:14.439 I was gonna say, Rachel from Friends Jennifer Aniston also 1:13:14.479 --> 1:13:16.760 known as Rachel from Friends, which is no longer on 1:13:16.800 --> 1:13:19.599 Netflix by the way, which is a bummer. She stood 1:13:19.680 --> 1:13:22.160 up and she took read a statement from him about 1:13:22.160 --> 1:13:24.720 how he's defending his family, which of course respect and 1:13:24.720 --> 1:13:27.280 appreciate that in Australia, making sure they're safe during the 1:13:27.320 --> 1:13:30.840 bush fire, what the bushfires going, and but that we 1:13:30.880 --> 1:13:32.880 need to take dramatic action, of course, to come back line, 1:13:32.880 --> 1:13:35.800 here we go climate change once again, it's climate change. 1:13:36.840 --> 1:13:43.360 You have green Peace. I'm trying to find this statement 1:13:43.439 --> 1:13:47.400 they put out. You know, here we go the fires 1:13:47.400 --> 1:13:50.000 are still burning. This is green Peace Australia and they'll 1:13:50.040 --> 1:13:52.519 be burning for months to come. That's why I outlined 1:13:52.560 --> 1:13:54.920 this is an initial investment of two billion dollars. The 1:13:55.000 --> 1:13:57.840 more is needed, the more is needed, and the cost 1:13:57.920 --> 1:14:00.559 is higher, they'll be provided. I'm sorry, that's Prime Ministers Morrison. 1:14:01.080 --> 1:14:05.519 Green Peace responded to that, saying every single sense of 1:14:05.560 --> 1:14:08.360 that money should be contributed by the coal, gas and 1:14:08.520 --> 1:14:12.639 oil companies whose carbon pollution has caused the climate crisis 1:14:12.920 --> 1:14:17.360 that has created these extreme fire conditions right across the country. 1:14:18.760 --> 1:14:21.240 Slugging everyday taxpayers with the bill for this just adds 1:14:21.240 --> 1:14:26.080 insult to injury. These big polluters have become rich by 1:14:26.160 --> 1:14:29.439 trashing our climate and it's time they start coughing up 1:14:29.520 --> 1:14:34.800 for the repair bill. Now. I want to get into 1:14:34.840 --> 1:14:41.000 this because this is now part of the global collectivist 1:14:41.000 --> 1:14:44.920 and socialist surge that we are seeing of all these 1:14:44.960 --> 1:14:47.640 different people that want there to be massive transfers of 1:14:47.760 --> 1:14:56.320 wealth determined by massive transfers of wealth determined by these 1:14:56.439 --> 1:15:01.960 environmentalist bodies, by government agencies and bureaucracy. These and the 1:15:02.040 --> 1:15:04.800 consequence of this, of course will be severe. But I 1:15:04.840 --> 1:15:06.800 want to put something else out because you have to really, 1:15:08.320 --> 1:15:10.200 you have to really look to find this because right 1:15:10.240 --> 1:15:11.680 now you might say just a hold on second, buck, 1:15:11.720 --> 1:15:13.640 I mean, if we're really and look, I saw, and 1:15:13.640 --> 1:15:14.960 I'll be honest with you, there are a few things. 1:15:15.040 --> 1:15:16.439 I was actually just talking to friend about this over 1:15:16.479 --> 1:15:17.640 the week, and there a few things that get me 1:15:18.760 --> 1:15:20.800 choked up as quickly as any anything that's bad that's 1:15:20.800 --> 1:15:23.040 happened to an animal, particularly a cute animal like not 1:15:23.160 --> 1:15:25.759 you know, snakes, I can't get that, you know, emotional about, 1:15:25.800 --> 1:15:31.520 but anything involving dogs, I completely lose it. And Koala's 1:15:31.920 --> 1:15:34.439 I'm also quite fond of bears, so anything anything with 1:15:34.479 --> 1:15:38.519 those you know, furry animals that are are mammalian cousins, 1:15:39.080 --> 1:15:44.519 including marsupials, which are very widespread across Australia as we know, 1:15:46.280 --> 1:15:48.880 any even a million cousins out there, and bad things 1:15:48.880 --> 1:15:50.200 are happening with them, and that makes me, That makes 1:15:50.200 --> 1:15:55.280 me very very sad. That's sad what's causing all of this? 1:15:55.320 --> 1:15:57.080 Because if we want, if we're upset about it, we 1:15:57.080 --> 1:15:58.880 want to stop it, shouldn't we understand what the And 1:15:58.920 --> 1:16:01.640 this is the same thing samesation we've had recently about California. 1:16:01.680 --> 1:16:04.080 We're just seeing this now in the context of Australia. Now, 1:16:04.080 --> 1:16:07.280 Australia is like eight thousand miles away from California. It's 1:16:07.280 --> 1:16:09.680 a long I think that's about right, maybe seventy five 1:16:10.120 --> 1:16:13.000 something like that, But it's a long, long flight. I 1:16:13.000 --> 1:16:14.360 haven't made the flight, but I know it's a very 1:16:14.360 --> 1:16:18.200 long flight. But we're having the mirror image discussion on 1:16:18.240 --> 1:16:20.400 Australia what we've already had in California. By the way, 1:16:20.560 --> 1:16:23.599 crazy California Lass. We will have to get to that soon. 1:16:25.880 --> 1:16:29.760 But here you have a situation where you could say, 1:16:29.800 --> 1:16:31.559 hold on, we're hearing about climate change all the time. 1:16:31.600 --> 1:16:33.840 We have these environmentalist groups. All they do is think 1:16:33.880 --> 1:16:36.200 about this issue and related issues. Right, this is, this 1:16:36.240 --> 1:16:39.080 is right in their wheelhouse. So they must know what's 1:16:39.120 --> 1:16:42.680 going on here, right, they must be in the know 1:16:43.640 --> 1:16:49.320 about this circumstance, this situation and be honest with the public, 1:16:49.360 --> 1:16:51.959 because if they're going to try to help us prevent 1:16:52.160 --> 1:16:55.720 this from continuing on as is, we have to know 1:16:55.760 --> 1:16:59.360 what the real cause is. Right. We can't be placed 1:16:59.360 --> 1:17:03.240 in a circumstance where we are trying to stop something 1:17:03.320 --> 1:17:05.759 by doing a thing that isn't related to the cause 1:17:05.760 --> 1:17:07.840 of the thing we're trying to stop. It's a very 1:17:07.880 --> 1:17:10.080 complicated way of saying, to waste your time, waste your effort. 1:17:12.040 --> 1:17:14.759 But here's what I was able to find from poking 1:17:14.760 --> 1:17:19.320 around a little bit of the most recent studies. There 1:17:19.360 --> 1:17:24.559 are over fifty thousand bushfires in Australia every year. The 1:17:24.640 --> 1:17:30.360 Australian National Center for Research in bush Fire and Arson 1:17:31.880 --> 1:17:34.120 I want to repeat that for Australia has a thing 1:17:34.840 --> 1:17:38.719 you probably haven't heard of this before, called the National 1:17:38.800 --> 1:17:44.280 Center for Research in Bushfire and Arson ARSON the intentional 1:17:45.280 --> 1:17:52.920 creation of or intentional lighting of fires a crime. Why 1:17:52.960 --> 1:17:56.920 would those two things be related, Well, because when you 1:17:56.960 --> 1:17:59.640 look at the numbers, you look at what's really going 1:17:59.720 --> 1:18:02.799 on in Australian hasn't been going on for years. Here's 1:18:02.800 --> 1:18:07.879 what you find out. At least according to the Institute 1:18:07.920 --> 1:18:09.559 in Australia, all they do is look at this issue. 1:18:10.040 --> 1:18:14.600 At least thirteen percent are one hundred percent, meaning at 1:18:14.640 --> 1:18:18.160 least we know for a for sure because of prosecutions 1:18:18.160 --> 1:18:21.160 and because of the evidence that thirteen percent of the 1:18:21.240 --> 1:18:25.080 fifty thousand plus fires in Australia every year. Remember Australia's 1:18:25.120 --> 1:18:27.400 a continent, it's huge, so it would be like fifty 1:18:27.400 --> 1:18:31.080 thousand fires in the entirety of the continental United States, 1:18:31.760 --> 1:18:34.360 right roughly speaking. Same, So it's not we think of 1:18:34.360 --> 1:18:36.040 it as a country, but it's a huge service. You 1:18:36.040 --> 1:18:38.439 can actually fit really all of I saw map Mo 1:18:38.640 --> 1:18:40.760 Strong as the weekend. You can fit effectively all of 1:18:40.760 --> 1:18:45.439 Western Europe, the landmass of it in Australia pretty close, 1:18:46.680 --> 1:18:49.639 not including Russia obviously, which is not really Western Europe. 1:18:49.680 --> 1:18:52.400 That's another conversation for another time. Thirteen percent of these 1:18:52.439 --> 1:18:58.679 fires are definitely thirty seven percent are suspicious, which means 1:18:59.479 --> 1:19:02.760 probably started by human beings. Right, Why would a fire 1:19:02.800 --> 1:19:05.560 be suspicious, Well, you'd have to have some reason for suspicion. 1:19:05.680 --> 1:19:08.200 If you have reason for suspicion, there's evidence that it 1:19:08.240 --> 1:19:12.400 wasn't just you know, a lightning strike or something along 1:19:12.400 --> 1:19:17.360 those lines. And that means that you add those two 1:19:17.400 --> 1:19:24.559 things together and you have half about half of the 1:19:24.800 --> 1:19:31.640 bushfires in Australia every year are deliberately set by human beings. 1:19:34.640 --> 1:19:38.120 So by the way, you might be saying, well, hold 1:19:38.120 --> 1:19:40.840 on a second buck, that's that's got to be What 1:19:40.880 --> 1:19:44.840 about people who you know they are camping and they 1:19:44.840 --> 1:19:46.960 have a camp fire and an ember goes you know, 1:19:47.040 --> 1:19:49.280 I mean that must happen all the time. Oh yeah, no, 1:19:49.720 --> 1:19:51.840 that does happen all the time. And you do have 1:19:52.960 --> 1:19:57.240 a very dangerous environment where you have, you know, a 1:19:57.280 --> 1:19:59.559 lot of dry tinder, you've got a tremendous amount of heat. 1:19:59.600 --> 1:20:00.920 Not a lot of boys, sure, because there hasn't been 1:20:00.960 --> 1:20:03.040 a lot of rain. So that happens. But guess what 1:20:03.960 --> 1:20:07.920 all of those cases for everybody who leaves a campfire burning, 1:20:07.960 --> 1:20:09.840 or who burns some brusher, who does something that are 1:20:09.880 --> 1:20:14.080 not intentionally setting a fire, that's not even included in 1:20:14.160 --> 1:20:17.799 the fifty percent figure according to the Australian National Center 1:20:17.800 --> 1:20:23.759 for Research in bush Fire and Arson. So and they 1:20:23.800 --> 1:20:25.679 don't even know, by the way, I mean, they can't 1:20:25.680 --> 1:20:30.240 even you gotta assume. I think it's just fair to 1:20:30.240 --> 1:20:34.959 say that if if roughly half of the bush fires 1:20:35.000 --> 1:20:39.400 are either certainly or most likely intentionally set in Australia, 1:20:39.479 --> 1:20:41.559 which is what this boy, this is from how to 1:20:41.600 --> 1:20:43.320 Dig Deep in the BBC. I mean, this is like 1:20:44.600 --> 1:20:46.360 it's out there. If you want to find this information, 1:20:46.760 --> 1:20:48.760 you're not being reported on very much. Why you come 1:20:48.760 --> 1:20:50.080 here because I actually look for suff So I'm like, 1:20:50.120 --> 1:20:52.880 this just seems weird that many fires. Huh, they're just 1:20:52.920 --> 1:20:55.320 popping up all of a sudden. So you cut the 1:20:55.400 --> 1:20:59.599 number in half right away based on people not setting fires, 1:20:59.600 --> 1:21:01.679 and get in a discussion why would people set fire? 1:21:01.920 --> 1:21:05.920 What we'll get to that maybe in a moment. But 1:21:06.000 --> 1:21:09.280 then you add to it accidental not arson, accidental fires 1:21:10.680 --> 1:21:12.679 a safe estimate. They don't even know what the stimo 1:21:12.960 --> 1:21:14.880 a safe estimate is going to be. That's gotta be 1:21:16.760 --> 1:21:20.719 half of the remaining right, half of the half that's left. 1:21:22.080 --> 1:21:23.720 So I feel like I'm back in grammar school doing 1:21:23.760 --> 1:21:28.240 fractions here. But that would mean that based on my 1:21:29.000 --> 1:21:31.160 back of the envelope, I'm just you know, but back 1:21:31.160 --> 1:21:34.320 of the envelope calculation of the using the very real 1:21:34.400 --> 1:21:37.679 number of about fifty percent are intention People are setting 1:21:37.720 --> 1:21:43.839 fires in Australia on purpose. That is what this research 1:21:43.960 --> 1:21:45.599 body that all they do is look at this issue. 1:21:45.600 --> 1:21:47.600 That's what they're telling you. When you add on to 1:21:47.680 --> 1:21:49.960 that accidental fires, you're looking at roughly let's say seventy 1:21:49.960 --> 1:21:55.519 five percent of all these fires are nan caused in 1:21:55.560 --> 1:21:58.920 one way or another, meaning human beings are responsible. We're 1:21:58.920 --> 1:22:00.840 just like setting these fires because they either meant to 1:22:01.040 --> 1:22:07.120 or accidentally messed up. Have you seen that reporter anywhere? No? 1:22:07.600 --> 1:22:11.880 You know why, because they would so much rather show you. Look, 1:22:11.920 --> 1:22:13.840 I saw the video of the koala that was like 1:22:13.920 --> 1:22:16.400 singe and I like choked up as horrible and I 1:22:16.400 --> 1:22:20.960 feel terrible about it. But they show you the koala 1:22:20.960 --> 1:22:23.240 that has gotten badly burned. They show you people giving 1:22:24.280 --> 1:22:26.280 water to ke mean, there's video of this all over 1:22:26.280 --> 1:22:29.080 the place in the Internet. They show people giving little 1:22:29.200 --> 1:22:32.479 bottles of water to a kangaroo that's parched and has 1:22:32.479 --> 1:22:35.479 been burned from the flames and trying to escape them. 1:22:35.840 --> 1:22:38.720 They'll show you this stuff and then they'll immediately turn 1:22:38.760 --> 1:22:41.639 around and say it's because of climate change. And if 1:22:41.640 --> 1:22:43.960 you don't see that, you're a bad person and you 1:22:44.040 --> 1:22:49.400 don't care about the burning koalas and kangaroos. It's emotional blackmail. 1:22:49.840 --> 1:22:53.920 It's probably this is propaganda. It's very effective techniques of 1:22:53.960 --> 1:22:56.479 propaganda being deployed by libs on all of this stuff. 1:22:56.479 --> 1:22:59.679 This is what they are doing. This is the way 1:22:59.760 --> 1:23:03.280 they approach all of this. And I would just say 1:23:03.320 --> 1:23:06.160 to you, you've got us. This is why it's so 1:23:06.200 --> 1:23:08.559 important to have alternative sources of information. Do your own, 1:23:09.120 --> 1:23:12.320 do your own thinking about this come to places like 1:23:12.360 --> 1:23:14.160 this where I do, and it's just me and Proson Mark. 1:23:14.160 --> 1:23:15.519 I mean, we're just doing our own thing in here, 1:23:15.960 --> 1:23:19.439 doing our own research, pulling our own information and presenting 1:23:19.479 --> 1:23:21.920 it to you so that you can be informed in 1:23:21.920 --> 1:23:24.280 a way that you won't be if you rely on, 1:23:24.760 --> 1:23:28.600 certainly the Golden Globes, which is really just a like 1:23:28.640 --> 1:23:33.439 a you know, special society of self indulgent idiots, And 1:23:33.800 --> 1:23:35.760 you won't be if you rely on the mainstream media either, 1:23:35.800 --> 1:23:39.839 because they think, Remember, the baseline assumption that they're operating 1:23:39.880 --> 1:23:43.320 from is that climate change is going to destroy the world, 1:23:43.920 --> 1:23:47.120 and so how they respond they're feeling on this is 1:23:47.160 --> 1:23:51.200 that anything that they have to do then in order 1:23:51.920 --> 1:23:56.800 to stop climate change, including lying to you about the 1:23:56.840 --> 1:24:01.080 reality of the bush fires youeple want to say brush 1:24:01.120 --> 1:24:06.000 fires bush fires in Australia is entirely is moral. The 1:24:06.120 --> 1:24:10.640 lie becomes moral, the propaganda becomes self justifying. I mean, 1:24:10.680 --> 1:24:12.080 it isn't that stunning. I mean, sitting here and just 1:24:12.080 --> 1:24:14.840 you actually look at this, it's this terrifying thing. The 1:24:14.960 --> 1:24:18.719 countries inflame. People are dying, animals are being some species 1:24:18.760 --> 1:24:22.880 they say in Australia are being wiped out. This is 1:24:22.920 --> 1:24:25.479 all very sad, and then you have to get to okay, well, 1:24:25.479 --> 1:24:27.559 what's really causing this in the answer is human being 1:24:27.600 --> 1:24:31.960 setting fires. That's what's really causing the setting fires in 1:24:32.240 --> 1:24:36.040 a in a situation where the weather is conducive to 1:24:36.360 --> 1:24:38.639 particularly conducive. It is dry and hot there right now, 1:24:38.720 --> 1:24:43.160 unseasonably dry and hot. It is not because you know, 1:24:43.560 --> 1:24:46.040 you aren't riding a tricycle to work every day. That's 1:24:46.080 --> 1:24:49.080 not what's causing the bush fires in Australia. People need 1:24:49.120 --> 1:24:52.479 to understand this. Okay, The soupid libs at the Golden 1:24:52.479 --> 1:24:55.840 Globes don't want to wrestle with the facts here, but trying, 1:24:55.880 --> 1:25:00.559 you know, giving gaseous speeches about trying to stop COO 1:25:00.560 --> 1:25:04.840 two gas from getting into the atmosphere is helping nobody. 1:25:04.880 --> 1:25:07.160 And then you have on top of this the socialist 1:25:07.200 --> 1:25:10.400 agenda of these different environmentalist groups that really want major 1:25:10.439 --> 1:25:12.880 corporations to fund them and then they'll leave them alone. 1:25:12.920 --> 1:25:16.600 It's it's like a protection racket they're running. You know, Exonmobile, 1:25:16.680 --> 1:25:20.800 You've got to fund our wacko environmentalist green energy you know, 1:25:21.120 --> 1:25:24.280 advocacy group, or else we're gonna tell everybody how terrible 1:25:24.320 --> 1:25:25.519 you are, but if you fund us, you know, we'll 1:25:25.520 --> 1:25:28.800 probably leave you alone a little bit. Nice capitalism you got, 1:25:28.840 --> 1:25:30.599 there be a shame if something happened to it. This 1:25:30.640 --> 1:25:33.519 is what these green groups are doing all over the world, 1:25:33.600 --> 1:25:36.000 not just here. They're doing in Australia, any any developed country, 1:25:36.160 --> 1:25:39.040 any places where there's like the fatted cow of capitalism 1:25:39.040 --> 1:25:41.840 to be slaughtered. These green groups find a way to 1:25:42.600 --> 1:25:48.240 pretend that the answer is to turn it into hamburgers, 1:25:49.040 --> 1:25:51.280 right ruin. What has been working so well for us, 1:25:51.280 --> 1:25:54.200 has made us all so much more prosperous and comfortable 1:25:54.400 --> 1:25:58.280 and live longer and all these other things. This is 1:25:58.280 --> 1:26:00.559 the truth of the situation us. Rather, it's just something 1:26:00.560 --> 1:26:02.080 and then and then I just just briefly, I mean, 1:26:02.120 --> 1:26:05.000 I don't know. I think you'd have to be a 1:26:05.000 --> 1:26:07.800 a psychologist to understand this, or I mean I'm not 1:26:07.840 --> 1:26:10.040 even Also a lot of psychologists I see them on TV, 1:26:10.120 --> 1:26:11.559 I'm like, well, that guy didn't tell me anything I 1:26:11.560 --> 1:26:16.679 didn't already know. It's really yeah, you know, not particularly 1:26:16.720 --> 1:26:19.240 impressive a lot of time with the diagnoses of different 1:26:19.280 --> 1:26:23.280 psychoses and such. But here's what I would say. There 1:26:23.320 --> 1:26:27.920 are remember the scene in Batman Begins where Michael Caine. 1:26:29.240 --> 1:26:32.640 I's got that really like you know Cookney accent, Like 1:26:32.720 --> 1:26:35.280 no one actually talks like that, but except for Michael 1:26:35.360 --> 1:26:40.960 Caine and the movie talks like this, excuse me, excuse me, governor, 1:26:41.280 --> 1:26:44.800 you know the whole thing. Um. He's like, you know, 1:26:44.840 --> 1:26:47.800 when I was always in the Imperial Service in Burma 1:26:48.360 --> 1:26:51.559 and there was there was this bloke who was running 1:26:51.600 --> 1:26:54.320 a rebel group who had a ruby the size of 1:26:54.360 --> 1:26:58.040 a tangerine. Some people just want to see the word burn. 1:26:59.720 --> 1:27:03.200 That's pretty much it, folks. Some people see an opportunity 1:27:03.240 --> 1:27:08.320 to destroy, and for very deep seated reasons, they seize 1:27:08.400 --> 1:27:12.519 upon it. And for some individuals that is through fire. 1:27:13.320 --> 1:27:16.360 This is why there are people who are arsonists. They 1:27:16.400 --> 1:27:20.599 like that momentary sense or that continuing sense of power 1:27:20.680 --> 1:27:25.920 they get from being the originator, from being the cause 1:27:26.120 --> 1:27:31.320 of tremendous destruction. There is perhaps a hole in their soul. 1:27:31.560 --> 1:27:33.519 I can't begin to understand why anybody would do this, 1:27:33.640 --> 1:27:36.519 especially given the danger it puts fellow human beings in 1:27:36.520 --> 1:27:40.120 the destruction of property and the animals that will all 1:27:40.160 --> 1:27:42.559 be burned are being burned as a result of this. 1:27:43.880 --> 1:27:46.360 But there are some very bad people out there, and 1:27:46.400 --> 1:27:52.719 there are people who have various kinds of sickness of soul. 1:27:52.760 --> 1:27:54.640 I'm not sure we call it even mental illness, just 1:27:54.680 --> 1:27:58.000 a sickness of soul. And that's the only explanation I 1:27:58.000 --> 1:27:59.519 can come up with for why anybody would set a 1:27:59.520 --> 1:28:03.360 fire like this, especially under these conditions and circumstances. It's 1:28:03.360 --> 1:28:07.280 so obviously dangerous. But that's what's really happening here. For 1:28:07.400 --> 1:28:09.439 all the all the stuff about how we have to 1:28:09.479 --> 1:28:12.680 combat climate change, which now I no longer can take 1:28:12.720 --> 1:28:15.080 the intelligence of any person seriously, who really thinks that 1:28:15.200 --> 1:28:17.519 combating climate change is something we have to do. I 1:28:17.560 --> 1:28:20.080 just I just don't think it's possible to be I 1:28:20.080 --> 1:28:22.000 don't think it's possible to have good judgment. You may 1:28:22.120 --> 1:28:26.320 you may be someone who has ability in other areas, 1:28:26.360 --> 1:28:28.320 you do not have good judgment. If you believe that 1:28:28.360 --> 1:28:30.439 combating climate change is something we all have to do, 1:28:32.880 --> 1:28:35.760 you're in the freedom hud. This is the Buck Sex 1:28:35.840 --> 1:28:42.759 and Show podcast. Now we have really we have great support, 1:28:43.160 --> 1:28:47.240 but we have tremendous views and much of it so 1:28:47.320 --> 1:28:49.360 much of it is just honest on the other side. 1:28:49.600 --> 1:28:52.679 But we're plowing through it, and I really do believe 1:28:52.720 --> 1:28:55.400 we have got on US side. I believe that. I 1:28:55.560 --> 1:29:00.840 believe that. You know, first of all, I love that 1:29:00.880 --> 1:29:03.000 just because when Trump says, if we have got on 1:29:03.000 --> 1:29:05.320 our side, you know that the drive's liberals completely insane, 1:29:05.960 --> 1:29:08.120 which is an exciting thing for me. So let's begin there. 1:29:08.240 --> 1:29:13.000 That's great. I mean, it triggers the Libs for Trump 1:29:13.120 --> 1:29:17.400 to say we have got on our side. And I'm 1:29:17.400 --> 1:29:20.400 not going to pretend that Trump is. It would be absurd, 1:29:20.439 --> 1:29:23.080 It would be it would be ridiculous to pretend that 1:29:23.120 --> 1:29:30.040 Trump's life pre president was the Christian ideal. But none 1:29:30.040 --> 1:29:32.720 of us are the Christian ideal. It's also true I 1:29:32.760 --> 1:29:34.559 am not the Christian ideal. I doubt any of you 1:29:34.600 --> 1:29:38.639 listening would claim to be. And increasingly, when I see 1:29:38.680 --> 1:29:41.599 the opposition to US, I have to say. Trump maybe 1:29:41.640 --> 1:29:43.240 meant it a bit as a job, but I think 1:29:43.479 --> 1:29:47.280 he also meant it because it's true. I do think 1:29:47.280 --> 1:29:50.599 that if God is picking sides in this election, he's 1:29:50.680 --> 1:29:53.680 hoping to keep America great.

Okay, sorry, I've gotten you know, there's 1:31:24.920 --> 1:31:26.559 a lot of a lot of stuff to get through 1:31:26.560 --> 1:31:28.240 a lot of stuff to say and see and do. 1:31:28.560 --> 1:31:33.760 And there we go. We have wait where did the 1:31:34.520 --> 1:31:36.880 where did it go? We have the inbox with the team. Ah, 1:31:36.920 --> 1:31:38.479 there we go, the team bucking box. I was trying 1:31:38.520 --> 1:31:44.320 to find it. Here we go. We have somebody who 1:31:44.360 --> 1:31:49.800 just calls himself Nebraska. Nebraska. Okay, buck big fan? Here? 1:31:49.920 --> 1:31:53.200 Quick question? Why do you refer to cocaine Mitch? I'm 1:31:53.200 --> 1:31:56.639 sorry that just happened. Why do you refer to Mitch 1:31:56.720 --> 1:32:00.200 McConnell as cocaine Mitch? I can't stop scratching my head. Please, 1:32:00.240 --> 1:32:03.519 I need to know my scalp is getting a rash um. Okay, 1:32:03.640 --> 1:32:08.120 So this is this is because of a fellow name 1:32:08.200 --> 1:32:09.720 and I know I call him, I just it's such 1:32:09.760 --> 1:32:14.600 a fun nickname. But it's a guy named Don Blankenship 1:32:15.479 --> 1:32:19.400 who ran the series of ads, and he's just trying 1:32:19.439 --> 1:32:23.000 to I guess he's trying to primary Mitch McConnell. And 1:32:23.240 --> 1:32:29.439 he referred to Mitch McConnell's wife has some ownership interest 1:32:29.560 --> 1:32:32.800 or you know, owns a piece of a shipping company. 1:32:32.960 --> 1:32:36.120 I believe it was the backstory here. She's she's Chinese 1:32:36.240 --> 1:32:41.519 or her family she is of Chinese background, and there 1:32:41.600 --> 1:32:44.519 was some somebody on the ship was arrested for like 1:32:44.520 --> 1:32:46.240 on one of these ships for this global shipping company 1:32:46.280 --> 1:32:48.000 was arrest for cocaine I think or something. Anyway, Don 1:32:48.000 --> 1:32:51.120 Blankenship came up with this thing that Mitch McConnell it's 1:32:51.160 --> 1:32:54.920 like part of this international cocaine distribution conspiracy, and he 1:32:55.000 --> 1:32:57.920 ransom ad on it and referred to him as Cocaine Mitch. 1:32:58.520 --> 1:33:00.840 And in this campaign ad which producer mark we should 1:33:00.880 --> 1:33:03.720 find this the original the original blankets ship. Not for now, 1:33:03.720 --> 1:33:05.320 well maybe later this week. It's kind of a little 1:33:05.320 --> 1:33:07.120 fun I'd like to give the team someone to look 1:33:07.120 --> 1:33:11.680 forward to, you know what I mean. But we will, Yeah, 1:33:11.840 --> 1:33:17.720 we will do a update on all things Cocaine Mitch 1:33:17.800 --> 1:33:20.720 for for your listening enjoyment. But that's where it comes from. 1:33:20.760 --> 1:33:22.760 Don Blanketship referred to him as Cocaine Mitch, and it's 1:33:22.760 --> 1:33:25.000 a nickname that kind of stuck. And I heard from 1:33:25.040 --> 1:33:29.600 somebody who was very close to Mitch McConnell that he 1:33:29.600 --> 1:33:32.400 actually thinks the nickname is pretty funny. So because if 1:33:32.439 --> 1:33:37.760 there's anybody who's involved in the international international cocaine distribution, 1:33:37.800 --> 1:33:42.840 Mitch McConnell will be very very very low on that list. 1:33:43.920 --> 1:33:46.800 But that's why, so totally legitimate question, and it's from 1:33:46.840 --> 1:33:49.559 Don Blanketship running ads against Mitch McConnell where he called 1:33:49.640 --> 1:33:56.599 him cocaine. Mitch, Zach, who is oss Buck? You're the best? Well, Zach, 1:33:56.680 --> 1:33:59.519 I think you're the best, no surprise. Your analysis on 1:33:59.600 --> 1:34:03.840 current around Iraq, Iran and Sulimani has been spot on. 1:34:04.680 --> 1:34:07.439 I think you should bring Joe Kent on your show 1:34:07.479 --> 1:34:11.479 to discuss further. He's a retired Green Beret Chief Warrant 1:34:11.479 --> 1:34:15.240 Officer out of Fifth Group with extensive experience in the 1:34:15.240 --> 1:34:18.800 Iraqi Shia. He's also a gold star husband. He lost 1:34:18.840 --> 1:34:21.880 his wife shan And in Syria last year. He brings 1:34:21.920 --> 1:34:24.519 a very sober and realistic perspective of this situation. He's 1:34:24.520 --> 1:34:26.360 done some quick hits on Fox. I think your show'd 1:34:26.360 --> 1:34:29.880 be a better format shieldside. Zach, thank you so much 1:34:29.880 --> 1:34:33.519 for the suggestion. I'm not familiar with Joe Kent, but 1:34:33.560 --> 1:34:35.080 we will take a look and we'd love to have 1:34:35.160 --> 1:34:37.120 him on the show to talk about this, given the 1:34:37.160 --> 1:34:41.280 background that you've presented that he has. So anytime you 1:34:41.280 --> 1:34:43.800 guys have somebody that you particularly think would be good 1:34:43.800 --> 1:34:46.320 for this format. We are going to start doing more 1:34:46.720 --> 1:34:49.120 long form interviews in the future and we're gonna put 1:34:49.120 --> 1:34:51.880 them up on podcast. But also we're going to have 1:34:51.920 --> 1:34:55.160 a YouTube going. And so we're getting all these things moving. 1:34:55.640 --> 1:34:57.400 I've been telling many of you for you know, it 1:34:57.439 --> 1:34:59.840 always happens. It just takes me to time because we 1:35:00.520 --> 1:35:02.720 it's just a team of two in here in the 1:35:02.760 --> 1:35:06.160 hot right now, and it is not easy to get 1:35:06.160 --> 1:35:07.720 all these things. And I got a book, I gotta right, 1:35:07.760 --> 1:35:09.519 I got a YouTube channel, like a lot of things 1:35:09.560 --> 1:35:11.920 I got to do all the time. So, um, I 1:35:11.960 --> 1:35:13.519 did tell you that, for example, we would start getting 1:35:13.520 --> 1:35:15.519 the podcast of a show out earlier, and now we do. 1:35:15.600 --> 1:35:17.439 Now it's out every day by three eastern so those 1:35:17.479 --> 1:35:21.680 of you who want can listen much earlier, which has 1:35:21.720 --> 1:35:27.040 been a plan of mine all along. So yeah, But 1:35:27.080 --> 1:35:30.519 you can always send along any any guests suggestion that 1:35:30.600 --> 1:35:34.840 you have. We are happy to have you present that 1:35:34.920 --> 1:35:37.240 to us here, So just send it presented to us. 1:35:37.240 --> 1:35:38.960 By sending it to present it to us, you don't 1:35:38.960 --> 1:35:41.000 have to give it to us on like a you know, 1:35:41.280 --> 1:35:43.240 silver platter or anything like that. Just send us into 1:35:43.280 --> 1:35:50.160 the thing. Loll loll. The email is taken way too 1:35:50.200 --> 1:35:51.800 long to load. I don't really know. While there we 1:35:51.840 --> 1:35:54.880 go book I know people always ask for recommendations of 1:35:54.960 --> 1:35:59.960 books or movies. I have one. The TV series murder 1:36:00.160 --> 1:36:05.040 In is a British fantasy adventure drama television program BBC 1:36:05.200 --> 1:36:08.040 drama series between two thousand and eight and twenty twelve. 1:36:08.160 --> 1:36:11.760 I'm assuming it aired then not takes place. Then I 1:36:11.840 --> 1:36:14.400 like it because it has basic humor, swordplay and magic. 1:36:14.760 --> 1:36:16.880 Plus it is clean and the whole family can watch. 1:36:17.200 --> 1:36:19.920 This program helps when you want to turn the brain 1:36:20.000 --> 1:36:23.720 off for a while. Well, oh, thank you for that. 1:36:23.720 --> 1:36:29.840 That's certainly sounds pretty cool. I like all that you know, 1:36:29.920 --> 1:36:33.599 medieval magic, sword, dungeons and dragon stuff, usually as a genre, 1:36:34.720 --> 1:36:36.280 not the Witcher, which is the worst thing ever. But 1:36:36.320 --> 1:36:38.160 I'm gonna stop. I'm gonna stop. Some of you like 1:36:38.240 --> 1:36:40.120 it and you get mad at me. Fine, you're allowed 1:36:40.120 --> 1:36:42.040 to like it. You're allowed to look team. I love 1:36:42.040 --> 1:36:43.439 all of you. You're allowed to be wrong. Sometimes you 1:36:43.439 --> 1:36:49.040 can be wrong about the Witcher. That's cool, Marina Rights, 1:36:50.400 --> 1:36:52.439 I trust you in Producer Mark kind a lovely holiday 1:36:52.479 --> 1:36:55.439 season and you had a fun birthday celebration. Well, Marina, 1:36:55.479 --> 1:36:58.040 I was a little sick, but thank you. Nonetheless, I've 1:36:58.040 --> 1:37:00.719 been watching some of the comments the Democratic already presidential 1:37:00.720 --> 1:37:04.320 hope pols and ridiculous celebrities have made regarding Trump's decision 1:37:04.360 --> 1:37:07.120 to take out Sulimani with that drone strike, and I 1:37:07.120 --> 1:37:10.519 couldn't help but recall Hillary Clinton's glib comments and giggles 1:37:11.040 --> 1:37:14.320 about the death of Muamar Kaddafi. We came, we saw 1:37:14.479 --> 1:37:18.120 he died. That's the thing about lying. It's very hard 1:37:18.120 --> 1:37:21.240 to keep track of what you said previously. Love life 1:37:21.280 --> 1:37:24.840 and freedom to you both. In twenty twenty, Marina of 1:37:24.880 --> 1:37:28.520 the esteemed group of Patriots known as OSS, the original 1:37:28.800 --> 1:37:33.000 Saturday Squad people that have been with me, now, gosh, 1:37:33.120 --> 1:37:37.320 it's going on with going on eight years Marina, Yeah, 1:37:37.360 --> 1:37:39.320 I mean they have a different This is one of 1:37:39.320 --> 1:37:41.320 the main things that we have to call out and 1:37:41.320 --> 1:37:43.120 talk about here on the show, as the Democrats have 1:37:43.160 --> 1:37:47.000 different standards of what's acceptable for Democrats versus what is 1:37:47.040 --> 1:37:52.400 acceptable for Republicans. That's true all the time. I mean, 1:37:52.760 --> 1:37:56.080 variety of context is true all the time. Really, they 1:37:56.120 --> 1:37:57.960 do not have a universal standard because if there was 1:37:57.960 --> 1:37:59.760 a universal standard that could be held to account, they 1:37:59.760 --> 1:38:01.479 do not want to be held to account. They want 1:38:01.479 --> 1:38:03.080 to be able to do whatever they want to do, 1:38:03.800 --> 1:38:06.760 pursue power, get away with things. Double standards are fun, 1:38:07.240 --> 1:38:11.000 being a hypocrites fun get away with a lot. And 1:38:11.040 --> 1:38:13.920 it's certainly true about Hillary and the intervention in Libya 1:38:14.000 --> 1:38:15.880 and what was the point and what were we doing there? 1:38:15.880 --> 1:38:18.120 And where was the congressional boabbli blah. I don't know, 1:38:19.160 --> 1:38:23.680 None of that matters. It's all about how Democrats absolutely 1:38:25.120 --> 1:38:29.960 want power. Guyle writes, Hey, Buck, if Sean Parnell was 1:38:30.000 --> 1:38:33.080 listening good luck on your run for office, Buck, you 1:38:33.120 --> 1:38:35.280 asked Sean about the best flavor of ice cream? You 1:38:35.320 --> 1:38:37.519 know what? I found it out producer Mark. To just 1:38:37.560 --> 1:38:39.479 have a little diversion here from this for one second, 1:38:40.120 --> 1:38:41.800 you know, my parents told me, and like they kind 1:38:41.800 --> 1:38:43.320 of had to tell me this solemnly because I was 1:38:43.320 --> 1:38:45.240 over there obviously for the holidays hanging out with them. Now, 1:38:45.439 --> 1:38:49.200 you know what, Buck, we like strawberry ice cream. I 1:38:49.240 --> 1:38:53.240 don't know, man, I was then. I just I thought 1:38:53.240 --> 1:38:55.479 everybody understood the strawberry ice cream is the worst. But 1:38:55.520 --> 1:38:58.640 my own family there are strawberry, all of them. They're strawberry. 1:38:58.520 --> 1:39:02.519 And my parents, my siblings understand my parents are strawberry 1:39:02.560 --> 1:39:04.960 ice cream eaters, though I don't just know, Like my 1:39:05.000 --> 1:39:07.200 dad respects, and so there's my mom a good pistachio. 1:39:07.240 --> 1:39:09.640 Like they know the real ice cream flavors too, but 1:39:09.680 --> 1:39:12.120 they'll eat strawberry ice cream, and I just think at 1:39:12.120 --> 1:39:14.840 some point it's actually my wife's favorite. Like there's a 1:39:14.960 --> 1:39:17.200 very famous ice cream plates we go to where where 1:39:17.200 --> 1:39:20.879 we live. Give it a sacio. What's it called Marvel 1:39:21.439 --> 1:39:23.600 Marvell ice cream in Long Beach, New York. Not a 1:39:23.640 --> 1:39:26.080 play on Carvel. No, No, it's just itch called Marvin. 1:39:26.120 --> 1:39:28.519 It's like Carvel with an m oh, it's much better. 1:39:28.880 --> 1:39:30.600 What is the best flavor of ice cream there? I 1:39:30.640 --> 1:39:33.600 like chocolate, but my wife goes pistachio. I see, I 1:39:33.640 --> 1:39:35.720 think pistachio is just like it's a special thing. I 1:39:35.800 --> 1:39:39.400 get very excited about it. But anyway, you asked Sean 1:39:39.439 --> 1:39:41.240 about the best flavor of ice cream. Thank God he 1:39:41.240 --> 1:39:44.519 did not say strawberry. I add that in his cookies 1:39:44.520 --> 1:39:46.840 and cream is almost a perfect answer. I have a 1:39:46.880 --> 1:39:50.040 local dairy queen trained to add bacon to the blizzards. 1:39:50.439 --> 1:39:53.120 What all I have to do is say, will you 1:39:53.200 --> 1:39:56.160 guile that for me? And they blend in bacon bits. 1:39:56.720 --> 1:39:59.559 I do prefer it with carmel chunks, but it works 1:39:59.560 --> 1:40:01.960 with any thing. I'm serious. If you try it, you 1:40:02.040 --> 1:40:04.639 won't be disappointed. Also, you've got two more dedicated listeners 1:40:04.640 --> 1:40:07.320 already for you this year Shieldside Gyle, Well Gyle, thank you. 1:40:07.640 --> 1:40:10.160 Gyle gave me a birthday present and a Christmas present 1:40:10.439 --> 1:40:13.280 by bringing more people into Team Buck. I don't know 1:40:13.320 --> 1:40:15.879 about the rest of you haven't and I haven't gotten 1:40:15.920 --> 1:40:17.960 you know, A notification of a day or two about 1:40:18.000 --> 1:40:20.080 it makes me sad. Would you what do you think 1:40:20.080 --> 1:40:23.160 about bacon ice cream? I would try it. I'm not 1:40:23.280 --> 1:40:26.920 much of a sweet and savory guy together. I have 1:40:27.000 --> 1:40:29.519 had chocolate cover bacon that is delicious. There is a 1:40:29.560 --> 1:40:33.120 bacon bar in Midtown and Midtown Manhattan that's a thing. Yes, 1:40:33.200 --> 1:40:34.960 I haven't been to it yet, but I really want 1:40:34.960 --> 1:40:36.479 to go. I really want to go to I'm actually going. 1:40:36.600 --> 1:40:37.880 I don't have to go check that. I literally just 1:40:37.880 --> 1:40:39.880 started a diet today too, so we really shouldn't be 1:40:39.920 --> 1:40:42.280 talking about this stuff. Yeah, I gotta I gotta get 1:40:42.280 --> 1:40:45.120 healthy too. Man, December was a bad month for me 1:40:45.800 --> 1:40:48.479 man eating wise. Yeah, from a honeymoon on it just 1:40:48.840 --> 1:40:50.720 I just don't understand why they can't figure out a 1:40:50.760 --> 1:40:54.040 way to make Bree a health food, Like, like cheese, 1:40:54.320 --> 1:40:57.240 My weaknesses are cheese and chocolate. Cheese. Isn't that bad 1:40:57.280 --> 1:41:00.519 for you? This protein? Yeah, a little fatty color, it's 1:41:00.760 --> 1:41:02.960 you know, sure, you eat like a wedge of You 1:41:02.960 --> 1:41:05.080 eat a wedge of any cheese, and you've pretty much 1:41:05.120 --> 1:41:07.680 done your damage for the whole in moderation. Yeah, that's 1:41:07.720 --> 1:41:09.760 what they tell me about everything. So you've talked have 1:41:09.840 --> 1:41:12.360 you talked to people want to be healthy? They'll say 1:41:12.400 --> 1:41:13.920 you can eat anything, just eat it in moderation. Like, 1:41:13.920 --> 1:41:16.880 where's the fun I want to stuff my face? Yeah? 1:41:16.880 --> 1:41:19.400 I love We got Jesse Kelly's a Keto diet expert. 1:41:19.400 --> 1:41:21.120 Do you ever see his Twitter account with that? Yes, 1:41:21.200 --> 1:41:24.920 it's amazing, all right, it's funny. We actually have somebody 1:41:25.240 --> 1:41:27.040 just wrote this in I did not pick this out 1:41:27.600 --> 1:41:30.640 headline cheese don't worry buck, you aren't the only one 1:41:30.680 --> 1:41:33.160 with a cheese problem. And they send me huge cheese 1:41:33.200 --> 1:41:35.880 platter photos. You see. This is amazing. It's a real thing. 1:41:35.880 --> 1:41:38.479 I did see that one. Yeah, yeah, I like it. 1:41:38.520 --> 1:41:40.519 So perfect timing on that one. All right, Now, we 1:41:40.640 --> 1:41:45.800 got for roll call Robert, who writes in deer Buck 1:41:45.880 --> 1:41:48.200 on your show Thursday afternoon, as you said you were 1:41:48.200 --> 1:41:51.719 not feeling well. To help prevent the colds and flu 1:41:51.800 --> 1:41:54.759 of winter, I take two natural remedies which I can recommend. 1:41:54.800 --> 1:41:57.679 The first is Echinatia, which is an over the counter 1:41:57.720 --> 1:42:01.160 remedy that helps strengthen the immune system. I take it 1:42:01.160 --> 1:42:03.640 if I start to feel run down. Its value was 1:42:03.680 --> 1:42:06.920 confirmed when I was speaking with Congressman Andy Harris, a 1:42:06.960 --> 1:42:11.000 practicing anesthesiologist, who said it's the first thing he takes 1:42:11.000 --> 1:42:14.599 when he starts feeling bad. The second item of value 1:42:14.600 --> 1:42:18.360 for specifically helping to prevent influenza is an Elderberry and 1:42:18.680 --> 1:42:23.240 black current preparation. The product which I buy is Immune 1:42:23.320 --> 1:42:27.120 take Care by New Chapter, a very reputable nutraceutical company. 1:42:27.320 --> 1:42:29.639 About ten years ago, I had the flu, began recovering, 1:42:29.640 --> 1:42:32.920 and then had a relapse. Elderberry was recommended, and I 1:42:32.960 --> 1:42:35.479 took the product and the next day had no flu symptoms. 1:42:35.720 --> 1:42:37.519 While I am no longer employed, I do take it 1:42:37.520 --> 1:42:39.320 when I'm out among people and had not had the 1:42:39.320 --> 1:42:43.280 flu since that episode. Keep talking, Robert, Robert, thank you. 1:42:43.320 --> 1:42:46.400 I've certainly heard a lot about echinatia over the years, 1:42:46.960 --> 1:42:52.280 I have never heard of taking elderberry and black current. 1:42:52.360 --> 1:42:55.240 Though I've heard of elderberry. I don't know what it does, 1:42:55.280 --> 1:42:57.240 but I've definitely heard the term. Did you see, by 1:42:57.240 --> 1:42:58.600 the way, do you look when you're in CVS or 1:42:58.600 --> 1:43:02.360 something of the weekend? The oslaccana? But what Ossilla coconham again, 1:43:02.439 --> 1:43:05.080 that sounds like something I'm telling you. It's I'm telling 1:43:05.120 --> 1:43:09.599 you it's a thing as I'm looking it up right. Yeah, 1:43:09.720 --> 1:43:14.560 here it's type it O S C I L L 1:43:14.880 --> 1:43:18.840 O O C C I n U M. What does 1:43:18.840 --> 1:43:21.800 this do for me? Is you know, protects your Assla coconham? 1:43:21.800 --> 1:43:26.680 What do you mean? It's just it's it's it's a 1:43:26.800 --> 1:43:31.920 it's an important immune component. Sure that has you know 1:43:32.040 --> 1:43:34.360 you gotta it's I'm telling you it's a product. They 1:43:34.360 --> 1:43:38.040 sell it all the time, homeopathic remedy. I've never never 1:43:38.080 --> 1:43:40.880 think we need this behind us. Okay, fair enough, fine, 1:43:41.040 --> 1:43:44.640 I'm just a conversation. I'm just trying to tell you, man, 1:43:44.680 --> 1:43:48.400 it's an important you gotta have enough Assila coconham in 1:43:48.439 --> 1:43:50.760 your immune system or else bad things happen. You're getting 1:43:50.760 --> 1:43:53.719 good at saying yeah, I'm well, it's it's a long word. 1:43:54.040 --> 1:43:55.800 It's out of the fact that I could actually read it. 1:43:56.280 --> 1:43:59.360 Producer producer Nick. I mean, she's got kids. He knows 1:43:59.400 --> 1:44:01.800 all the cold remedies out there that you've got. I'm 1:44:01.840 --> 1:44:04.120 sure he could send us some of his homeopathic best 1:44:04.160 --> 1:44:08.720 which were probably about chicken soup, Jewish staple. Yeah, well, 1:44:08.720 --> 1:44:10.280 now some of the matzo ball is the real thing. 1:44:11.479 --> 1:44:15.880 Producer Nick takes Elderberry. We got Nick, he takes Elderberry's 1:44:15.920 --> 1:44:17.760 a real thing. Yeah. By the way, I keep saying 1:44:17.760 --> 1:44:19.320 it's too I mean, we got producer Nick too, but 1:44:19.360 --> 1:44:21.439 he's he's not in the studio. So yeah, he doesn't 1:44:21.439 --> 1:44:23.080 have a microphone. But there's actually three of us that 1:44:23.080 --> 1:44:26.280 are always on this, on this little express train to 1:44:26.360 --> 1:44:30.080 insanity here. All right, anyway, enough about that, Andrew, enough 1:44:30.080 --> 1:44:33.479 about I'm not eve gonna saying at homeopathic flu flu medicine. 1:44:34.400 --> 1:44:36.120 There you go, Can I say it right? You did? Wow, 1:44:36.240 --> 1:44:40.519 well done, Andrew writes Buck. Okay, before we start, I 1:44:40.600 --> 1:44:46.040 am pre og team Buck, going back to twenty thirteen. Oh, 1:44:46.080 --> 1:44:48.080 so he's he's making me. He knows that I love him. Now, 1:44:48.120 --> 1:44:49.880 he knows he's like family. Now he knows my og 1:44:50.120 --> 1:44:52.960 my oss. These people have been with me forever, he says, 1:44:53.000 --> 1:44:56.000 before we start on po Okay, your review of The 1:44:56.040 --> 1:45:00.479 Witcher on Netflix was harsh. It is a respected of 1:45:00.560 --> 1:45:02.559 someone who is unfamiliar with the source material, So I 1:45:02.600 --> 1:45:07.000 don't blame you anyway. The Witcher on Netflix is absolutely 1:45:07.040 --> 1:45:10.880 amazing when you came from the gamer or book reader's perspective. 1:45:11.240 --> 1:45:15.080 Without going too deep, Eastern European folklore is a very 1:45:15.160 --> 1:45:18.479 strange thing compared to what we think of with monsters 1:45:18.479 --> 1:45:21.559 and magic fantasy. But when you are familiar with what 1:45:21.600 --> 1:45:25.760 The Witcher is, the show is so great. Andrew, your 1:45:26.040 --> 1:45:30.000 bro from Indiana. PS. If you get to a point 1:45:30.000 --> 1:45:32.599 in your life where there is time for video games, 1:45:32.880 --> 1:45:38.160 play which or three on PlayStation four? Okay, I mean Andrew, 1:45:38.160 --> 1:45:41.040 Because I have not I have no knowledge of this 1:45:41.560 --> 1:45:45.360 video game. I can't say that, well, you're wrong. I 1:45:45.479 --> 1:45:47.559 just I think that you have to when you present 1:45:47.600 --> 1:45:50.160 a show on Netflix, it has to be a good 1:45:50.200 --> 1:45:51.760 product for what it is. It can't just be a 1:45:51.760 --> 1:45:54.720 good product for some very small subset of the population 1:45:54.840 --> 1:45:57.559 that is familiar. But I don't know. I guess they 1:45:57.600 --> 1:45:59.160 make some things for the fans out there. I'm not 1:45:59.120 --> 1:46:01.040 gonna lie to you guys. I hate when I say 1:46:01.080 --> 1:46:02.120 that because I never lied to you, but it's a 1:46:02.120 --> 1:46:07.240 phrase that people use. I watched Doom. I forget what 1:46:07.280 --> 1:46:11.120 it was like the New Doom movie, which was so 1:46:11.200 --> 1:46:13.280 bad but like so brainless that it was kind of 1:46:13.320 --> 1:46:15.479 okay to watch. It's like a bad rip off of 1:46:15.479 --> 1:46:17.760 the movie Aliens. But you know, Doom was a video game. 1:46:18.439 --> 1:46:21.280 It is like they opened ah it's like futuristic, but 1:46:21.280 --> 1:46:23.360 they opened a portatal hell. It's the first person shooter. 1:46:23.360 --> 1:46:25.120 I think it was one of the original reminds me 1:46:25.160 --> 1:46:29.360 of Wolfenstein. Another did you ever play Wolfenstein? That was great. 1:46:30.240 --> 1:46:32.599 That was a fun game. You just ran around shooting Nazis. 1:46:32.600 --> 1:46:35.760 It was pre inglorious bastards, which I feel I kind 1:46:35.760 --> 1:46:39.080 of just stole the basic idea from Wolfenstein was the 1:46:39.160 --> 1:46:42.120 name of the video game. Okay, we ran into some 1:46:42.160 --> 1:46:44.080 interesting stuff today on the show. Tomorrow show is going 1:46:44.120 --> 1:46:45.840 to be amazing. If you can tune out at twelve 1:46:45.880 --> 1:46:49.080 pm Eastern or tape it with your DVR. I guess 1:46:49.080 --> 1:46:52.160 you don't tape, then you you record record with your 1:46:52.200 --> 1:46:55.360 DVR out number tomorrow, Jill. Then Shields High
