We're just days away 0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:20.040 from a critically important summit between Donald Trump and Kim 0:01:20.080 --> 0:01:23.639 Jong owned of North Korea, and the media is trying 0:01:23.640 --> 0:01:26.680 to pull apart the preparations for it. It's pretty clear 0:01:26.720 --> 0:01:29.479 they're rooting against success, not just for Trump, but for 0:01:29.520 --> 0:01:32.560 America and the world. On this one, we'll also talk 0:01:32.600 --> 0:01:36.200 about more expectations for the Inspector General reports supposed to 0:01:36.280 --> 0:01:38.760 be out within about a week. That is going to 0:01:38.880 --> 0:01:42.720 be a rough one for Comey and McCabe. Plus uh 0:01:42.920 --> 0:01:45.440 Nancy Pelosi tries to get into some of the numbers 0:01:45.480 --> 0:01:47.640 on the economy. You can imagine that that was quite 0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:50.320 a train wreck. We've got that and much more coming up. 0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:54.320 This is the Bus Sex and Show, where the mission 0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:58.680 or mission is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. 0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:04.520 Make no mistakes, America, You're a great American Again. The 0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:14.600 Buck Sexton Show begins. No. Welcome to the Buck Sex 0:02:14.680 --> 0:02:19.919 and Show. Everybody. I'm here live from the Swamp is Swamping. 0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:23.200 Very excited to be with you today. Much to discuss 0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:26.920 with all of you, and thank you very much for 0:02:26.919 --> 0:02:29.960 your time. You got this summit coming up here in 0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:34.320 just a few days. You're gonna be in Singapore, and 0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:38.200 what you can't help. But notice is that the media 0:02:38.440 --> 0:02:42.400 is looking to run every negative story about this they can. 0:02:43.440 --> 0:02:46.079 It's not just to get clicks. It's not just because 0:02:47.240 --> 0:02:51.400 they are looking to tell any story that will get 0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:53.920 them some attention. But you also get the sense that 0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:59.240 they want to form a narrative in advance of recklessness 0:02:59.240 --> 0:03:01.880 and failure, of that no matter what happens at this summit, 0:03:02.760 --> 0:03:05.520 they will then give you a follow on of see 0:03:05.560 --> 0:03:07.680 it was recklessness and failure. They know they don't care 0:03:07.720 --> 0:03:12.240 really what happens there. They are going to be telling 0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:16.359 you that this was Trump the buffoon, Trump, the man 0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:23.080 who's unable to represent us properly on the world stage, 0:03:24.000 --> 0:03:28.639 because if he gets this thing right, they are so 0:03:28.760 --> 0:03:32.359 out of any credibility to criticize this president. I don't 0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:34.160 know who could still believe them at this point. I 0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:37.400 don't know who says you know, I'm gonna keep listening 0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:41.600 to the legacy media that assured its readers, it's listeners, 0:03:41.600 --> 0:03:44.360 it's viewers, that Trump had no chance of winning, that 0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:46.680 he was a clown, that he was an imbecile, that 0:03:46.760 --> 0:03:51.880 he was evil, that he was bringing fascism. What else 0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:55.400 can they throw at him? If he manages the most 0:03:55.440 --> 0:04:00.320 important diplomatic breakthrough since the end of the Coal War. 0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:02.880 I think that it's gonna make things tough for them. 0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:06.360 You got Rudy Giuliani out there trying to set a 0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:09.360 little bit of a different tone about where these negotiations 0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:14.720 are going and what it's like right now from our 0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:16.720 side of the negotiating table. Here's we need to say 0:04:16.760 --> 0:04:18.960 play five. They also said they were gonna they're gonna 0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:22.520 go to nuclear war against us. They were going to 0:04:22.600 --> 0:04:25.360 defeat us in a nuclear war. He said, well, we're 0:04:25.400 --> 0:04:28.200 not gonna have a summit under those circumstances. Well, Kim 0:04:28.279 --> 0:04:31.200 young un got back on his hands and knees and 0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:33.880 begged for it, which is exactly the position you want 0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:38.920 to put him in. That's right. Remember when the summit 0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:42.919 was off, we were all being told, oh my gosh, 0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:45.360 look at how much this all fell apart. He can't 0:04:45.360 --> 0:04:47.120 get the summit done. What are we gonna do now? 0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:49.320 Trump is such an idiot? Right, Always such an idiot, 0:04:49.320 --> 0:04:51.960 That's what they always say. Now it's back on and 0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:57.520 always preparations not good. They they just seethed with hatred 0:04:57.560 --> 0:05:00.640 for the president in every story they right and everything 0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:03.000 that they say, and it couldn't be any more apparent 0:05:03.040 --> 0:05:05.119 than at this point in time. It doesn't even matter 0:05:05.200 --> 0:05:07.640 what comes out of this summit. They're going to say 0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:11.520 that it was a blunder, a failure, a catastrophe. Even 0:05:11.560 --> 0:05:15.000 they're gonna try. They have no credibility to protect. And 0:05:15.040 --> 0:05:17.760 when a media has no credibility to protect, it is 0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:24.200 capable of almost anything. On the preparations. Now you're seeing this, 0:05:24.200 --> 0:05:28.520 this manic fixation on the preparations from North Korea. Oh 0:05:28.560 --> 0:05:32.800 my god, Trumper's not having the necessary meetings that they 0:05:32.800 --> 0:05:34.919 don't know the meetings he's having, or not having no 0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:38.120 idea what. They're just making crap up, making crap up 0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:39.839 because it lets them tell a story about how they 0:05:39.880 --> 0:05:45.320 don't like they don't like Trump. That's the best story 0:05:45.360 --> 0:05:47.720 they can possibly tell, right, anything that makes the president 0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:51.000 look bad. He spoke about the issue of preparations, and 0:05:51.040 --> 0:06:00.720 they jumped all over this place. Seventeen the tube. It's 0:06:00.760 --> 0:06:04.000 about to really is to get things done. But I 0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:06.240 think I've been preparing for the summit for a long time, 0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:10.160 as has the other inside. I think they've been preparing 0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:12.880 for a long time also, So this isn't a question 0:06:12.920 --> 0:06:15.160 of preparation. It's a question of whether or not people 0:06:15.240 --> 0:06:17.720 want it to happen, and we'll know that very quickly. 0:06:19.480 --> 0:06:23.640 I want to tell you from my experience with diplomats 0:06:23.800 --> 0:06:27.240 dealing with people at the State Department, understanding how there 0:06:27.480 --> 0:06:32.880 is an obsession with process and protocol, and that is 0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:38.520 that the defining characteristic of most of the Look, there 0:06:38.520 --> 0:06:41.240 are some amazing diplomats out there, great ambassadors, all that. 0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:46.800 You know, all those caveats apply, but the overall culture 0:06:46.839 --> 0:06:52.200 at the State Department is just process, process, process, and 0:06:52.760 --> 0:06:56.400 the results don't matter nearly as much because as long 0:06:56.440 --> 0:06:58.400 as you can point to a process that everyone agreed on, 0:06:58.480 --> 0:06:59.960 you're gonna say, see, we did it the right way. 0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:02.760 We did the way we're supposed to, We did the 0:07:02.760 --> 0:07:05.760 way that everybody around us, everyone else who's involved, says 0:07:05.800 --> 0:07:08.560 we we should because that's how it's done. They're really 0:07:08.600 --> 0:07:11.960 a circular thinking. But you see, Trump is trying to 0:07:12.000 --> 0:07:16.720 be disruptive in this approach to North Korea. He's saying, 0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:18.600 you know, what he's doing here is the equivalent of 0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:21.360 walking into a boardroom for a company that is failing, 0:07:22.200 --> 0:07:24.080 and they're all trying to say, oh, sir, I've got 0:07:24.120 --> 0:07:26.360 this report that I pulled. Oh I've got this power 0:07:26.400 --> 0:07:29.200 point person r sha and he's like, no, no, just 0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:33.480 just wipe it all off the table. What is working here? 0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:36.000 What is not working? Who do I need to fire? 0:07:36.080 --> 0:07:37.960 Who do I need to hire? How do we turn 0:07:38.040 --> 0:07:41.160 this thing around? What do he saying is that's gonna 0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:43.960 be his approach with Kim John by all these people saying, Okay, 0:07:44.160 --> 0:07:45.840 what do they think Kim John Gon is some kind 0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:51.840 of negotiating genius based on who on what? The guy 0:07:51.960 --> 0:07:56.080 is a totalitarian dictator. He's got you know, he executes people. 0:07:56.280 --> 0:07:58.640 You think he's so slick? Do you think he's got 0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:02.440 such great skills? It's crazy when you actually get down 0:08:02.480 --> 0:08:05.480 into this. You know the way the kid, how what 0:08:05.600 --> 0:08:09.400 is he like a thirty three? I think I'm just 0:08:09.400 --> 0:08:11.640 pulling that out of the air. He's like early thirties. 0:08:13.920 --> 0:08:15.960 I mean, granted, you put me in there, I'm thirty six. 0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:19.400 You put me and there would be a problem because 0:08:20.200 --> 0:08:21.920 I'm gonna come out and be like, all right, I'll 0:08:21.920 --> 0:08:25.600 give up my nukes, but I want this little piece 0:08:25.600 --> 0:08:29.560 of real estate called Hawaii to hang out at thirty three? Right? Yeah, 0:08:29.560 --> 0:08:34.800 I was right. Obviously obviously, thanks Mike. So you know 0:08:34.920 --> 0:08:37.600 this is this is just the nonsense that they're pulling 0:08:37.640 --> 0:08:39.160 out here. And by the way, he's got a guy 0:08:39.360 --> 0:08:43.280 with his back that I have. I have confidence in 0:08:43.320 --> 0:08:46.720 his knowledge ability skill set. The President has confidence in 0:08:46.760 --> 0:08:50.440 his knowledge ability skill set, and you know he's got 0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:53.120 the team he needs. And no, not just Bolton, who 0:08:53.120 --> 0:08:56.400 should really have a national security just a National security 0:08:56.400 --> 0:09:03.120 Council just assigned to his mustache, but Secretary Pompeo, who 0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:06.400 you know is a really squared away guy. Here's what 0:09:06.440 --> 0:09:09.960 he's saying about the sanctions and where we how we 0:09:09.960 --> 0:09:12.320 should place this upcoming somewhe North Korea play a team. 0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:15.560 The President recognizes that North Korea has great potential, and 0:09:15.600 --> 0:09:17.880 he looks forward to a day when sanctions on the 0:09:17.960 --> 0:09:22.040 DPRK can begin to be removed. However, that cannot happen 0:09:22.120 --> 0:09:27.160 until the DPRK completely inveriffiably eliminates its weapons of mass 0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:31.720 destruction programs. President Trump and Sherman Kim will certainly also 0:09:31.760 --> 0:09:35.880 discuss security assurances for the DPRK, establishing a peace regime, 0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:40.040 and improving relations between our two countries until we achieve 0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:42.720 our goals, the measures that the world alongside the United 0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:45.800 States has put on. The regime will remain and the 0:09:45.840 --> 0:09:48.720 event diplomacy does not move in the right direction, these 0:09:48.760 --> 0:09:53.880 measures will increase. He's saying, they either give us what 0:09:53.960 --> 0:09:58.480 we want or we tighten the screws even more. People saying, oh, 0:09:58.520 --> 0:10:02.160 there's this big risk, big risk of I mean, there's 0:10:02.200 --> 0:10:06.200 risks and anything worth doing. But when you actually look 0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:08.920 more closely at what's happening here and what the regional 0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:12.360 dynamics are from North Korea, for China, for our allies Japan, 0:10:12.440 --> 0:10:18.240 South Korea, it's this or what Who has a better alternative? 0:10:18.679 --> 0:10:22.520 Bipartisan failure stretching back for thirty years on dealing with 0:10:22.559 --> 0:10:26.960 North Korea both sides, no skills whatsoever to speak of 0:10:27.000 --> 0:10:31.280 when it comes to ending the North Korean nightmare, no 0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:33.760 victories to speak of, I should say, and this is 0:10:33.840 --> 0:10:36.640 this is what what really troubles me. And I just 0:10:36.800 --> 0:10:40.160 have to put this out there because I want you 0:10:40.280 --> 0:10:42.640 to have it in your mind as we read this 0:10:42.760 --> 0:10:46.240 coverage next week, as we you know, look at this 0:10:47.400 --> 0:10:51.719 with the clearest eyes we can, it's gonna have something. 0:10:51.720 --> 0:10:53.440 I think it'll have some impact on the markets too. 0:10:53.480 --> 0:10:55.000 By the way, it's just there's gonna be a sense 0:10:55.000 --> 0:10:58.480 of global confidence that will be like I think it's 0:10:58.520 --> 0:11:04.520 gonna be a brilliant if this is a positive meeting. Uh, 0:11:04.720 --> 0:11:07.600 it's a positive meeting. By the way, Trump is not promising, 0:11:07.640 --> 0:11:10.440 it's a positive being place place sixteen. Please. All I 0:11:10.480 --> 0:11:12.800 can say is I am totally prepared to walk away. 0:11:12.800 --> 0:11:15.640 I did it once before. Uh, you have to be 0:11:15.679 --> 0:11:17.400 able to walk away if you're not going to be 0:11:17.440 --> 0:11:20.360 able to walk away. We didn't walk away from the 0:11:20.400 --> 0:11:23.559 horrible Iran deal that was signed. And if you look 0:11:23.600 --> 0:11:27.360 at what's happened since I signed that deal Iran, and 0:11:27.440 --> 0:11:29.920 in all fairness, I say it with great respect for 0:11:30.000 --> 0:11:32.640 the people of Iran, but Iran is acting a lot differently. 0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:36.839 They're no longer looking so much to the Mediterranean, They're 0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:41.160 no longer looking so much to what's going on in Syria, 0:11:41.240 --> 0:11:43.880 what's going on in Yemen, and lots of other places. 0:11:44.320 --> 0:11:47.080 There are much different country over the last three months. 0:11:49.559 --> 0:11:53.680 He's right about Obama and the Iran deal he gave away. 0:11:53.679 --> 0:11:56.560 I mean, the most important information you can have about 0:11:56.600 --> 0:12:02.320 your opponent in a negotiation is will they actually take 0:12:02.400 --> 0:12:05.560 any deal? Do they have to have a deal? If 0:12:05.559 --> 0:12:07.280 they have to have a deal, you have all the leverage. 0:12:07.280 --> 0:12:09.600 It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter what they all the 0:12:09.640 --> 0:12:12.840 other factors can be pushed aside because if they have 0:12:12.920 --> 0:12:14.840 to have a deal, you just set your floor. What 0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:16.680 will you you know what, what's the bare minimum that 0:12:16.679 --> 0:12:18.880 you'll take? And then they're they're gonna meet you there 0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:22.240 because they have to do a deal. Obama wasn't gonna 0:12:22.240 --> 0:12:24.520 walk away from Iran look like a loser on that one. 0:12:25.720 --> 0:12:28.040 That was the mentality of his team, that was John 0:12:28.120 --> 0:12:32.960 Kerry and the State Department. Then well that's not a 0:12:32.960 --> 0:12:35.679 way to negotiate. I will just put this out there 0:12:35.679 --> 0:12:43.000 as well. What negotiating experience really did Barack Obama have 0:12:43.200 --> 0:12:46.840 before overseeing at his State Department this Iran deal? I 0:12:46.880 --> 0:12:48.720 know what he wasn't the one day in a day out. 0:12:48.760 --> 0:12:53.360 But say what you will, WoT President Trump. He's been 0:12:53.360 --> 0:12:57.120 in the boardroom before. He's been trying to get get 0:12:57.160 --> 0:12:59.680 a better deal for his side than the other side 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:04.440 for the last forty or fifty years. Okay, so that 0:13:04.480 --> 0:13:07.960 should matter in some way at some time to the media. 0:13:08.040 --> 0:13:11.400 But it doesn't. Of course it doesn't. I've said it before, 0:13:11.400 --> 0:13:12.760 I've said it again, and this is what I was 0:13:12.880 --> 0:13:18.199 getting at before. You've got to remember this their biggest fear, 0:13:19.440 --> 0:13:21.680 and this is a true statement. This is gonna sound 0:13:21.679 --> 0:13:24.320 a little crazy. The media's biggest fear is not that 0:13:24.320 --> 0:13:27.000 we go to war with North Korea. It's that Donald 0:13:27.040 --> 0:13:29.600 Trump is successful and that there is no war, that 0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:33.080 there is a normalization, that there is a massive breakthrough, 0:13:34.320 --> 0:13:36.760 if nothing else, think about what that will mean. As 0:13:36.800 --> 0:13:38.760 I was saying to you at the start here for 0:13:38.800 --> 0:13:42.120 their narrative about Trump, what does it mean for their 0:13:42.200 --> 0:13:47.880 narratives about themselves. You know that these media figures who 0:13:48.360 --> 0:13:50.959 claim that they they're the ones that cannot that understand 0:13:51.280 --> 0:13:53.240 who is going to be a great diplomat, who has 0:13:53.280 --> 0:13:56.120 the skills to operate on the world stage. They've told 0:13:56.200 --> 0:13:58.439 us Trump is well out of his depth, way out 0:13:58.440 --> 0:14:01.120 of his league. If he steps up to the plate 0:14:01.160 --> 0:14:02.800 the first time it hits a home run, what does 0:14:02.840 --> 0:14:07.120 that do to their credibility? And just think about the 0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:11.760 comparisons that will be able to draw between Barack Obama, 0:14:11.960 --> 0:14:17.360 who got a Nobel Prize for being president Barack Obama. 0:14:17.480 --> 0:14:21.760 That's it. That's it there there. They can say whatever 0:14:21.800 --> 0:14:24.640 they want about it. That is what that was a 0:14:24.720 --> 0:14:30.520 Nobel Prize for being president, and whether Trump gets a 0:14:30.560 --> 0:14:32.720 Nobel Prize or not, we will all know. We look 0:14:32.760 --> 0:14:35.960 at these two administrations, one president who is who is 0:14:36.120 --> 0:14:40.520 hailed by the media as as erudite, as a genius, 0:14:40.520 --> 0:14:45.160 really as and by Obama's own admission based on what 0:14:45.240 --> 0:14:48.320 Ben Rhodes is written, we've been talking about this week, 0:14:49.120 --> 0:14:52.080 too brilliant for us, too good for us, really, too 0:14:52.080 --> 0:14:55.200 smart for the American people, and his legacy of just 0:14:55.320 --> 0:14:58.920 failure and a coddling media that will do anything. We'll 0:14:58.960 --> 0:15:01.320 just just debate race themselves, get down with their hands 0:15:01.360 --> 0:15:03.440 and knees and beg for Obama to say one nice 0:15:03.440 --> 0:15:06.280 word to them. The other hand, Trump, who they say 0:15:06.360 --> 0:15:09.680 is some kind of troglodyte and a blonde wig, goes 0:15:09.720 --> 0:15:15.400 out there and puts us on a pathway to a 0:15:15.480 --> 0:15:20.640 truly safer world, takes one of the access of evil 0:15:21.080 --> 0:15:24.840 uh pieces off the chessboard. Possibly possibly. I'm not saying 0:15:24.880 --> 0:15:28.360 it will happen. I'm saying they are afraid that that happens. 0:15:29.000 --> 0:15:31.360 They will. I don't know what they're gonna do. It'll 0:15:31.400 --> 0:15:35.480 be like Hillary's victory party that wasn't such a victory 0:15:35.560 --> 0:15:38.480 all over again. Right, just gnashing of teeth and wailing 0:15:38.520 --> 0:15:43.960 and rending of garments and big, big liberal tears all 0:15:43.960 --> 0:15:46.640 over the place. I mean, well, the rest of the 0:15:46.640 --> 0:15:49.320 world will be celebrating, right, not the least of of 0:15:49.320 --> 0:15:51.840 whom will be the North Korean people who will finally 0:15:51.880 --> 0:15:55.160 have a shot, finally have a shot at meaningful lives. 0:15:57.280 --> 0:16:01.200 It's it's powerful stuff, my friends. Uh, we were I 0:16:01.280 --> 0:16:02.920 wanna talk a bit more about the economy this show 0:16:02.920 --> 0:16:05.000 than we have in the last few days, because I 0:16:05.000 --> 0:16:10.080 think that's another place where oh man, November can't come 0:16:10.120 --> 0:16:12.440 soon enough. As far as I'm concerned, It's gonna be 0:16:12.480 --> 0:16:14.200 a great one. I want to like it would be funny. 0:16:14.200 --> 0:16:17.720 We could do like a election night Team Buck party somewhere, 0:16:17.800 --> 0:16:21.680 you know, just barbecue American flags and freedom and just 0:16:21.720 --> 0:16:23.880 watch all watch those returns come in. Yeah, I know, 0:16:23.960 --> 0:16:26.680 we we should. I'm having I'm having these thoughts in 0:16:26.720 --> 0:16:28.520 real time on the year. If you got if you 0:16:28.640 --> 0:16:30.400 got any thoughts you want to share about the summit, 0:16:30.920 --> 0:16:35.760 about the economy, anything, honestly eight four four eight four 0:16:35.880 --> 0:16:39.280 four nine two eight to five. Our freedom Hunt lines 0:16:39.320 --> 0:16:52.880 are open, Light them up. Team You're right back. Yes, 0:16:53.000 --> 0:16:56.360 we could absolutely sign an agreement. We're looking at it, 0:16:56.360 --> 0:16:58.800 we're talking about it with them, we're talking about it 0:16:58.880 --> 0:17:01.760 with a lot about the people. But that could happen. 0:17:02.040 --> 0:17:06.000 But that's really the beginning. Sounds a little bit strange, 0:17:06.040 --> 0:17:08.840 but that's probably the easy part. The hard part remains 0:17:08.920 --> 0:17:13.640 after that. Uh, normalizing relations is something that I would 0:17:13.640 --> 0:17:15.520 expect to do, I would hope to do when everything 0:17:15.600 --> 0:17:17.840 is complete. There are a lot of good factors lined 0:17:17.920 --> 0:17:20.879 up for North Korea, a lot of tremendous factors that 0:17:20.920 --> 0:17:23.960 give it tremendous potential. It has tremendous potential because the 0:17:23.960 --> 0:17:31.240 people are great, and we would certainly like to see normalization. Yes, normalization, 0:17:32.000 --> 0:17:33.879 that's the goal. We'll see. You've got some lines. Let 0:17:33.960 --> 0:17:38.160 let's get to it. Uh, Brent in New Mexico. Good 0:17:38.160 --> 0:17:42.960 to have you, sir, ay buck Shield tie shield ty. Hey, 0:17:43.000 --> 0:17:46.120 I got a quick question for you, just to hypothetical, say, 0:17:46.160 --> 0:17:49.119 Trump gets is still gone, and do you think he's 0:17:49.160 --> 0:17:51.160 going to take the direction of having this sign through 0:17:51.280 --> 0:17:52.680 the treaty and do you think he's going to go 0:17:52.760 --> 0:17:55.919 the executive order route? Because I'm already reading where the 0:17:55.960 --> 0:17:59.159 Democrats it's kind of ironic and funny that they're not 0:17:59.200 --> 0:18:01.880 going to go along that. Lets they're suggestif some real 0:18:02.040 --> 0:18:06.000 verifications un inspections, which is kind of funny to meet 0:18:06.040 --> 0:18:07.320 with the way they treated I ran, but I was 0:18:07.359 --> 0:18:09.680 just curious about the stop which COSTSS you could keep 0:18:09.680 --> 0:18:12.399 more more likely used. Well, I look at a treaty, 0:18:12.480 --> 0:18:14.720 as we have seen from what happened with Obama, you 0:18:14.760 --> 0:18:18.040 want a treaty because that has more long lasting effect 0:18:18.080 --> 0:18:20.600 that that's actually constitutionally sound. So if you can get 0:18:20.600 --> 0:18:22.520 a treaty, that's that's the way to go. And on 0:18:22.640 --> 0:18:26.320 this issue of North Korea, if Trump has you know, 0:18:26.600 --> 0:18:28.679 if Trump is able to get where he wants to 0:18:28.800 --> 0:18:32.080 with this first meeting, then you know, I think that 0:18:32.119 --> 0:18:34.240 may be something we're discussing. But we've gotta understand that 0:18:34.320 --> 0:18:37.959 it's it's the first step in the process. So I 0:18:38.000 --> 0:18:40.959 think we're gonna be talking a lot about whether you know, 0:18:41.119 --> 0:18:43.040 both sides are gonna argue about whether the meeting was 0:18:43.080 --> 0:18:44.880 a success or not. And I don't know if there'll 0:18:44.880 --> 0:18:47.960 be enough from it to necessarily go to a treaty, 0:18:48.160 --> 0:18:50.120 you know, go to a treaty discussion right away? Does 0:18:50.119 --> 0:18:51.640 that make you see what I'm saying? Like, I think 0:18:51.640 --> 0:18:54.080 it will be a little ways down the line. I mean, 0:18:54.080 --> 0:18:58.120 in terms of an executive order, what would the executive 0:18:58.160 --> 0:18:59.840 order be? I mean the problem that any executive order 0:18:59.880 --> 0:19:02.199 is the next president unless a judge steps in like 0:19:02.240 --> 0:19:06.320 what happens to Trump can undo it. So i'm i'm 0:19:06.400 --> 0:19:09.120 I'm in in uh in a wait and see mode 0:19:09.359 --> 0:19:12.240 on all of this stuff because we have to be 0:19:12.280 --> 0:19:13.920 I mean, we have to be. But it's a it's 0:19:13.920 --> 0:19:16.159 a fair question. Treat your executive order brand. Let me 0:19:16.200 --> 0:19:18.239 give it some more thought. I'll come back to it, 0:19:18.320 --> 0:19:21.960 and as I have a more fulsome answer for you, 0:19:22.000 --> 0:19:23.720 I will share it on the air. Brent Expert, thanks 0:19:23.720 --> 0:19:26.080 for giving us a ring. We got some lines lit. 0:19:26.119 --> 0:19:28.040 If you want to call eight for four nine Buck 0:19:28.119 --> 0:19:31.600 eight four four eight to five, let's I do. If 0:19:31.600 --> 0:19:35.120 you want to talk abou Korea, that's cool. But employment, jobs, 0:19:35.200 --> 0:19:39.640 the economy, it's fun to discuss right now because business 0:19:39.760 --> 0:19:42.479 is booming. Baby. It's a good time to be an 0:19:42.480 --> 0:19:45.640 American and not a good time to be a Democrat. 0:19:45.680 --> 0:19:47.680 Who wants to pretend that it's not a good time 0:19:47.680 --> 0:20:01.439 to be an American. He's holding the line for America. 0:20:01.840 --> 0:20:07.560 Buck Sexton is back. So this isn't just about the 0:20:07.640 --> 0:20:12.320 unemployment rate. It's about wages rising in our country so 0:20:12.480 --> 0:20:17.119 that consumer confidence is restored, because our economy will never 0:20:17.160 --> 0:20:23.919 fully reach its um uh possibilities unless we increase the confidence, 0:20:23.920 --> 0:20:26.960 and that can only be increased by the better deal, 0:20:27.119 --> 0:20:32.480 better jobs, better wages, housing subsidies, and the rest. Has 0:20:32.520 --> 0:20:36.879 not gone down because of the wage stagnation. So in 0:20:37.000 --> 0:20:42.040 terms of the financial stability of America's working families, unless 0:20:42.160 --> 0:20:48.160 we have an increase, very significant increase in wages and 0:20:48.840 --> 0:20:52.280 bigger paychecks, are we were going to increase the frustration 0:20:52.280 --> 0:20:55.199 of America's families because they'll be saying, hip hip hoarae. 0:20:55.400 --> 0:20:58.639 Unemployment is down, What does that mean to me in 0:20:58.720 --> 0:21:02.480 my life? I need a bigger paycheck. There has never 0:21:02.560 --> 0:21:05.280 been a better time to invest in the United States, 0:21:06.000 --> 0:21:10.560 thanks to our mess of tax cuts, historic deregulation, a 0:21:10.640 --> 0:21:14.040 strong trade policy which has just really begun, because I 0:21:14.080 --> 0:21:15.960 will tell you, over the years it has been an 0:21:15.960 --> 0:21:20.200 extraordinarily weak trade policy, the opening of American energy, and 0:21:20.240 --> 0:21:23.840 a return to the rule of law. Our economy is 0:21:23.880 --> 0:21:28.640 absolutely booming best it's ever been. Unemployment is at the 0:21:28.680 --> 0:21:32.720 lowest level in nearly half a century, and for African 0:21:32.760 --> 0:21:38.840 American and Hispanic American workers. Unemployment has reached its lowest 0:21:38.960 --> 0:21:43.480 level ever recorded. So who are you gonna believe on 0:21:43.520 --> 0:21:50.280 the economy, folks, Pelosi chronic, stupid question. Yeah, exactly. By 0:21:50.320 --> 0:21:52.520 the way, we did a fact check of this one 0:21:52.560 --> 0:21:55.480 courtesy of a producer, Mike. This is great. So Pelosi 0:21:55.560 --> 0:21:59.800 says that consumer confidence must be restored. It is currently 0:22:00.000 --> 0:22:03.480 measured at a two point one, which is higher. That 0:22:03.600 --> 0:22:08.080 is higher under Trump than at any time under Bush 0:22:08.280 --> 0:22:13.960 or Obama. That's sixteen years of presidency, my friends, consumer 0:22:13.960 --> 0:22:19.160 confidence higher now than at any time under Bush or Obama. Huh, 0:22:19.760 --> 0:22:27.440 that's like so weird w T h uh. Also, Pelosi 0:22:27.560 --> 0:22:31.480 said there's wig stagnation, but the employment cost index regord 0:22:31.560 --> 0:22:35.720 to register two point six percent for the full year, 0:22:36.600 --> 0:22:40.879 which means that Trump had the best wage gains since 0:22:40.920 --> 0:22:45.439 the Great Depression, way beyond anything Obama had in his 0:22:45.480 --> 0:22:48.280 eight years. By the way, and that's what Obama coming 0:22:48.320 --> 0:22:52.199 out spending money like we had never seen before, spending 0:22:52.280 --> 0:22:55.280 your money as it means of propping up the economy, 0:22:55.359 --> 0:22:57.360 make it seem like there was more growth and more 0:22:57.400 --> 0:23:02.920 going on than there was. Also, she calls consumer confidence 0:23:02.920 --> 0:23:06.720 canoeber confidence, which maybe she was talking about something else there, 0:23:07.320 --> 0:23:11.439 but Canoeber confidence is not something I'm familiar with, unless 0:23:11.480 --> 0:23:13.520 it's like something to do with Huber. I don't know. 0:23:14.280 --> 0:23:16.639 So there's that, Thanks for thanks for pulling that apart. 0:23:16.640 --> 0:23:18.560 I think Nancy's gonna go cry in the corner now, Mike. 0:23:18.640 --> 0:23:21.880 That's all on you, don't Mike is not gonna feel 0:23:21.880 --> 0:23:24.360 bad about that though. Just real quick, I'm gonna add 0:23:24.400 --> 0:23:26.040 on that. I forgot to tell you this earlier. Actually, 0:23:26.280 --> 0:23:29.080 six of Obama's eight years in office saw gains of 0:23:29.119 --> 0:23:32.920 two or less. I think that's also important. But it 0:23:33.080 --> 0:23:35.600 was really hard because we're gonna hold the cots in 0:23:35.640 --> 0:23:37.760 the Wall Street and they weren't all about things, and 0:23:37.800 --> 0:23:40.600 they're gonna make it really double. So we're never gonna 0:23:40.600 --> 0:23:42.320 have a good e columy a gun. But on the 0:23:42.359 --> 0:23:47.840 best president ever, it's yeah, not so much, not so much. 0:23:48.480 --> 0:23:51.639 It turns out that the Obama economy was a pain 0:23:51.760 --> 0:23:55.679
