Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom hunt. We're just days away
Speaker 1: from a critically important summit between Donald Trump and Kim
Speaker 1: Jong owned of North Korea, and the media is trying
Speaker 1: to pull apart the preparations for it. It's pretty clear
Speaker 1: they're rooting against success, not just for Trump, but for
Speaker 1: America and the world. On this one, we'll also talk
Speaker 1: about more expectations for the Inspector General reports supposed to
Speaker 1: be out within about a week. That is going to
Speaker 1: be a rough one for Comey and McCabe. Plus uh
Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi tries to get into some of the numbers
Speaker 1: on the economy. You can imagine that that was quite
Speaker 1: a train wreck. We've got that and much more coming up.
Speaker 1: This is the Bus Sex and Show, where the mission
Speaker 1: or mission is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence.
Speaker 1: Make no mistakes, America, You're a great American Again. The
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show begins. No. Welcome to the Buck Sex
Speaker 1: and Show. Everybody. I'm here live from the Swamp is Swamping.
Speaker 1: Very excited to be with you today. Much to discuss
Speaker 1: with all of you, and thank you very much for
Speaker 1: your time. You got this summit coming up here in
Speaker 1: just a few days. You're gonna be in Singapore, and
Speaker 1: what you can't help. But notice is that the media
Speaker 1: is looking to run every negative story about this they can.
Speaker 1: It's not just to get clicks. It's not just because
Speaker 1: they are looking to tell any story that will get
Speaker 1: them some attention. But you also get the sense that
Speaker 1: they want to form a narrative in advance of recklessness
Speaker 1: and failure, of that no matter what happens at this summit,
Speaker 1: they will then give you a follow on of see
Speaker 1: it was recklessness and failure. They know they don't care
Speaker 1: really what happens there. They are going to be telling
Speaker 1: you that this was Trump the buffoon, Trump, the man
Speaker 1: who's unable to represent us properly on the world stage,
Speaker 1: because if he gets this thing right, they are so
Speaker 1: out of any credibility to criticize this president. I don't
Speaker 1: know who could still believe them at this point. I
Speaker 1: don't know who says you know, I'm gonna keep listening
Speaker 1: to the legacy media that assured its readers, it's listeners,
Speaker 1: it's viewers, that Trump had no chance of winning, that
Speaker 1: he was a clown, that he was an imbecile, that
Speaker 1: he was evil, that he was bringing fascism. What else
Speaker 1: can they throw at him? If he manages the most
Speaker 1: important diplomatic breakthrough since the end of the Coal War.
Speaker 1: I think that it's gonna make things tough for them.
Speaker 1: You got Rudy Giuliani out there trying to set a
Speaker 1: little bit of a different tone about where these negotiations
Speaker 1: are going and what it's like right now from our
Speaker 1: side of the negotiating table. Here's we need to say
Speaker 1: play five. They also said they were gonna they're gonna
Speaker 1: go to nuclear war against us. They were going to
Speaker 1: defeat us in a nuclear war. He said, well, we're
Speaker 1: not gonna have a summit under those circumstances. Well, Kim
Speaker 1: young un got back on his hands and knees and
Speaker 1: begged for it, which is exactly the position you want
Speaker 1: to put him in. That's right. Remember when the summit
Speaker 1: was off, we were all being told, oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: look at how much this all fell apart. He can't
Speaker 1: get the summit done. What are we gonna do now?
Speaker 1: Trump is such an idiot? Right, Always such an idiot,
Speaker 1: That's what they always say. Now it's back on and
Speaker 1: always preparations not good. They they just seethed with hatred
Speaker 1: for the president in every story they right and everything
Speaker 1: that they say, and it couldn't be any more apparent
Speaker 1: than at this point in time. It doesn't even matter
Speaker 1: what comes out of this summit. They're going to say
Speaker 1: that it was a blunder, a failure, a catastrophe. Even
Speaker 1: they're gonna try. They have no credibility to protect. And
Speaker 1: when a media has no credibility to protect, it is
Speaker 1: capable of almost anything. On the preparations. Now you're seeing this,
Speaker 1: this manic fixation on the preparations from North Korea. Oh
Speaker 1: my god, Trumper's not having the necessary meetings that they
Speaker 1: don't know the meetings he's having, or not having no
Speaker 1: idea what. They're just making crap up, making crap up
Speaker 1: because it lets them tell a story about how they
Speaker 1: don't like they don't like Trump. That's the best story
Speaker 1: they can possibly tell, right, anything that makes the president
Speaker 1: look bad. He spoke about the issue of preparations, and
Speaker 1: they jumped all over this place. Seventeen the tube. It's
Speaker 1: about to really is to get things done. But I
Speaker 1: think I've been preparing for the summit for a long time,
Speaker 1: as has the other inside. I think they've been preparing
Speaker 1: for a long time also, So this isn't a question
Speaker 1: of preparation. It's a question of whether or not people
Speaker 1: want it to happen, and we'll know that very quickly.
Speaker 1: I want to tell you from my experience with diplomats
Speaker 1: dealing with people at the State Department, understanding how there
Speaker 1: is an obsession with process and protocol, and that is
Speaker 1: that the defining characteristic of most of the Look, there
Speaker 1: are some amazing diplomats out there, great ambassadors, all that.
Speaker 1: You know, all those caveats apply, but the overall culture
Speaker 1: at the State Department is just process, process, process, and
Speaker 1: the results don't matter nearly as much because as long
Speaker 1: as you can point to a process that everyone agreed on,
Speaker 1: you're gonna say, see, we did it the right way.
Speaker 1: We did the way we're supposed to, We did the
Speaker 1: way that everybody around us, everyone else who's involved, says
Speaker 1: we we should because that's how it's done. They're really
Speaker 1: a circular thinking. But you see, Trump is trying to
Speaker 1: be disruptive in this approach to North Korea. He's saying,
Speaker 1: you know, what he's doing here is the equivalent of
Speaker 1: walking into a boardroom for a company that is failing,
Speaker 1: and they're all trying to say, oh, sir, I've got
Speaker 1: this report that I pulled. Oh I've got this power
Speaker 1: point person r sha and he's like, no, no, just
Speaker 1: just wipe it all off the table. What is working here?
Speaker 1: What is not working? Who do I need to fire?
Speaker 1: Who do I need to hire? How do we turn
Speaker 1: this thing around? What do he saying is that's gonna
Speaker 1: be his approach with Kim John by all these people saying, Okay,
Speaker 1: what do they think Kim John Gon is some kind
Speaker 1: of negotiating genius based on who on what? The guy
Speaker 1: is a totalitarian dictator. He's got you know, he executes people.
Speaker 1: You think he's so slick? Do you think he's got
Speaker 1: such great skills? It's crazy when you actually get down
Speaker 1: into this. You know the way the kid, how what
Speaker 1: is he like a thirty three? I think I'm just
Speaker 1: pulling that out of the air. He's like early thirties.
Speaker 1: I mean, granted, you put me in there, I'm thirty six.
Speaker 1: You put me and there would be a problem because
Speaker 1: I'm gonna come out and be like, all right, I'll
Speaker 1: give up my nukes, but I want this little piece
Speaker 1: of real estate called Hawaii to hang out at thirty three? Right? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was right. Obviously obviously, thanks Mike. So you know
Speaker 1: this is this is just the nonsense that they're pulling
Speaker 1: out here. And by the way, he's got a guy
Speaker 1: with his back that I have. I have confidence in
Speaker 1: his knowledge ability skill set. The President has confidence in
Speaker 1: his knowledge ability skill set, and you know he's got
Speaker 1: the team he needs. And no, not just Bolton, who
Speaker 1: should really have a national security just a National security
Speaker 1: Council just assigned to his mustache, but Secretary Pompeo, who
Speaker 1: you know is a really squared away guy. Here's what
Speaker 1: he's saying about the sanctions and where we how we
Speaker 1: should place this upcoming somewhe North Korea play a team.
Speaker 1: The President recognizes that North Korea has great potential, and
Speaker 1: he looks forward to a day when sanctions on the
Speaker 1: DPRK can begin to be removed. However, that cannot happen
Speaker 1: until the DPRK completely inveriffiably eliminates its weapons of mass
Speaker 1: destruction programs. President Trump and Sherman Kim will certainly also
Speaker 1: discuss security assurances for the DPRK, establishing a peace regime,
Speaker 1: and improving relations between our two countries until we achieve
Speaker 1: our goals, the measures that the world alongside the United
Speaker 1: States has put on. The regime will remain and the
Speaker 1: event diplomacy does not move in the right direction, these
Speaker 1: measures will increase. He's saying, they either give us what
Speaker 1: we want or we tighten the screws even more. People saying, oh,
Speaker 1: there's this big risk, big risk of I mean, there's
Speaker 1: risks and anything worth doing. But when you actually look
Speaker 1: more closely at what's happening here and what the regional
Speaker 1: dynamics are from North Korea, for China, for our allies Japan,
Speaker 1: South Korea, it's this or what Who has a better alternative?
Speaker 1: Bipartisan failure stretching back for thirty years on dealing with
Speaker 1: North Korea both sides, no skills whatsoever to speak of
Speaker 1: when it comes to ending the North Korean nightmare, no
Speaker 1: victories to speak of, I should say, and this is
Speaker 1: this is what what really troubles me. And I just
Speaker 1: have to put this out there because I want you
Speaker 1: to have it in your mind as we read this
Speaker 1: coverage next week, as we you know, look at this
Speaker 1: with the clearest eyes we can, it's gonna have something.
Speaker 1: I think it'll have some impact on the markets too.
Speaker 1: By the way, it's just there's gonna be a sense
Speaker 1: of global confidence that will be like I think it's
Speaker 1: gonna be a brilliant if this is a positive meeting. Uh,
Speaker 1: it's a positive meeting. By the way, Trump is not promising,
Speaker 1: it's a positive being place place sixteen. Please. All I
Speaker 1: can say is I am totally prepared to walk away.
Speaker 1: I did it once before. Uh, you have to be
Speaker 1: able to walk away if you're not going to be
Speaker 1: able to walk away. We didn't walk away from the
Speaker 1: horrible Iran deal that was signed. And if you look
Speaker 1: at what's happened since I signed that deal Iran, and
Speaker 1: in all fairness, I say it with great respect for
Speaker 1: the people of Iran, but Iran is acting a lot differently.
Speaker 1: They're no longer looking so much to the Mediterranean, They're
Speaker 1: no longer looking so much to what's going on in Syria,
Speaker 1: what's going on in Yemen, and lots of other places.
Speaker 1: There are much different country over the last three months.
Speaker 1: He's right about Obama and the Iran deal he gave away.
Speaker 1: I mean, the most important information you can have about
Speaker 1: your opponent in a negotiation is will they actually take
Speaker 1: any deal? Do they have to have a deal? If
Speaker 1: they have to have a deal, you have all the leverage.
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter what they all the
Speaker 1: other factors can be pushed aside because if they have
Speaker 1: to have a deal, you just set your floor. What
Speaker 1: will you you know what, what's the bare minimum that
Speaker 1: you'll take? And then they're they're gonna meet you there
Speaker 1: because they have to do a deal. Obama wasn't gonna
Speaker 1: walk away from Iran look like a loser on that one.
Speaker 1: That was the mentality of his team, that was John
Speaker 1: Kerry and the State Department. Then well that's not a
Speaker 1: way to negotiate. I will just put this out there
Speaker 1: as well. What negotiating experience really did Barack Obama have
Speaker 1: before overseeing at his State Department this Iran deal? I
Speaker 1: know what he wasn't the one day in a day out.
Speaker 1: But say what you will, WoT President Trump. He's been
Speaker 1: in the boardroom before. He's been trying to get get
Speaker 1: a better deal for his side than the other side
Speaker 1: for the last forty or fifty years. Okay, so that
Speaker 1: should matter in some way at some time to the media.
Speaker 1: But it doesn't. Of course it doesn't. I've said it before,
Speaker 1: I've said it again, and this is what I was
Speaker 1: getting at before. You've got to remember this their biggest fear,
Speaker 1: and this is a true statement. This is gonna sound
Speaker 1: a little crazy. The media's biggest fear is not that
Speaker 1: we go to war with North Korea. It's that Donald
Speaker 1: Trump is successful and that there is no war, that
Speaker 1: there is a normalization, that there is a massive breakthrough,
Speaker 1: if nothing else, think about what that will mean. As
Speaker 1: I was saying to you at the start here for
Speaker 1: their narrative about Trump, what does it mean for their
Speaker 1: narratives about themselves. You know that these media figures who
Speaker 1: claim that they they're the ones that cannot that understand
Speaker 1: who is going to be a great diplomat, who has
Speaker 1: the skills to operate on the world stage. They've told
Speaker 1: us Trump is well out of his depth, way out
Speaker 1: of his league. If he steps up to the plate
Speaker 1: the first time it hits a home run, what does
Speaker 1: that do to their credibility? And just think about the
Speaker 1: comparisons that will be able to draw between Barack Obama,
Speaker 1: who got a Nobel Prize for being president Barack Obama.
Speaker 1: That's it. That's it there there. They can say whatever
Speaker 1: they want about it. That is what that was a
Speaker 1: Nobel Prize for being president, and whether Trump gets a
Speaker 1: Nobel Prize or not, we will all know. We look
Speaker 1: at these two administrations, one president who is who is
Speaker 1: hailed by the media as as erudite, as a genius,
Speaker 1: really as and by Obama's own admission based on what
Speaker 1: Ben Rhodes is written, we've been talking about this week,
Speaker 1: too brilliant for us, too good for us, really, too
Speaker 1: smart for the American people, and his legacy of just
Speaker 1: failure and a coddling media that will do anything. We'll
Speaker 1: just just debate race themselves, get down with their hands
Speaker 1: and knees and beg for Obama to say one nice
Speaker 1: word to them. The other hand, Trump, who they say
Speaker 1: is some kind of troglodyte and a blonde wig, goes
Speaker 1: out there and puts us on a pathway to a
Speaker 1: truly safer world, takes one of the access of evil
Speaker 1: uh pieces off the chessboard. Possibly possibly. I'm not saying
Speaker 1: it will happen. I'm saying they are afraid that that happens.
Speaker 1: They will. I don't know what they're gonna do. It'll
Speaker 1: be like Hillary's victory party that wasn't such a victory
Speaker 1: all over again. Right, just gnashing of teeth and wailing
Speaker 1: and rending of garments and big, big liberal tears all
Speaker 1: over the place. I mean, well, the rest of the
Speaker 1: world will be celebrating, right, not the least of of
Speaker 1: whom will be the North Korean people who will finally
Speaker 1: have a shot, finally have a shot at meaningful lives.
Speaker 1: It's it's powerful stuff, my friends. Uh, we were I
Speaker 1: wanna talk a bit more about the economy this show
Speaker 1: than we have in the last few days, because I
Speaker 1: think that's another place where oh man, November can't come
Speaker 1: soon enough. As far as I'm concerned, It's gonna be
Speaker 1: a great one. I want to like it would be funny.
Speaker 1: We could do like a election night Team Buck party somewhere,
Speaker 1: you know, just barbecue American flags and freedom and just
Speaker 1: watch all watch those returns come in. Yeah, I know,
Speaker 1: we we should. I'm having I'm having these thoughts in
Speaker 1: real time on the year. If you got if you
Speaker 1: got any thoughts you want to share about the summit,
Speaker 1: about the economy, anything, honestly eight four four eight four
Speaker 1: four nine two eight to five. Our freedom Hunt lines
Speaker 1: are open, Light them up. Team You're right back. Yes,
Speaker 1: we could absolutely sign an agreement. We're looking at it,
Speaker 1: we're talking about it with them, we're talking about it
Speaker 1: with a lot about the people. But that could happen.
Speaker 1: But that's really the beginning. Sounds a little bit strange,
Speaker 1: but that's probably the easy part. The hard part remains
Speaker 1: after that. Uh, normalizing relations is something that I would
Speaker 1: expect to do, I would hope to do when everything
Speaker 1: is complete. There are a lot of good factors lined
Speaker 1: up for North Korea, a lot of tremendous factors that
Speaker 1: give it tremendous potential. It has tremendous potential because the
Speaker 1: people are great, and we would certainly like to see normalization. Yes, normalization,
Speaker 1: that's the goal. We'll see. You've got some lines. Let
Speaker 1: let's get to it. Uh, Brent in New Mexico. Good
Speaker 1: to have you, sir, ay buck Shield tie shield ty. Hey,
Speaker 1: I got a quick question for you, just to hypothetical, say,
Speaker 1: Trump gets is still gone, and do you think he's
Speaker 1: going to take the direction of having this sign through
Speaker 1: the treaty and do you think he's going to go
Speaker 1: the executive order route? Because I'm already reading where the
Speaker 1: Democrats it's kind of ironic and funny that they're not
Speaker 1: going to go along that. Lets they're suggestif some real
Speaker 1: verifications un inspections, which is kind of funny to meet
Speaker 1: with the way they treated I ran, but I was
Speaker 1: just curious about the stop which COSTSS you could keep
Speaker 1: more more likely used. Well, I look at a treaty,
Speaker 1: as we have seen from what happened with Obama, you
Speaker 1: want a treaty because that has more long lasting effect
Speaker 1: that that's actually constitutionally sound. So if you can get
Speaker 1: a treaty, that's that's the way to go. And on
Speaker 1: this issue of North Korea, if Trump has you know,
Speaker 1: if Trump is able to get where he wants to
Speaker 1: with this first meeting, then you know, I think that
Speaker 1: may be something we're discussing. But we've gotta understand that
Speaker 1: it's it's the first step in the process. So I
Speaker 1: think we're gonna be talking a lot about whether you know,
Speaker 1: both sides are gonna argue about whether the meeting was
Speaker 1: a success or not. And I don't know if there'll
Speaker 1: be enough from it to necessarily go to a treaty,
Speaker 1: you know, go to a treaty discussion right away? Does
Speaker 1: that make you see what I'm saying? Like, I think
Speaker 1: it will be a little ways down the line. I mean,
Speaker 1: in terms of an executive order, what would the executive
Speaker 1: order be? I mean the problem that any executive order
Speaker 1: is the next president unless a judge steps in like
Speaker 1: what happens to Trump can undo it. So i'm i'm
Speaker 1: I'm in in uh in a wait and see mode
Speaker 1: on all of this stuff because we have to be
Speaker 1: I mean, we have to be. But it's a it's
Speaker 1: a fair question. Treat your executive order brand. Let me
Speaker 1: give it some more thought. I'll come back to it,
Speaker 1: and as I have a more fulsome answer for you,
Speaker 1: I will share it on the air. Brent Expert, thanks
Speaker 1: for giving us a ring. We got some lines lit.
Speaker 1: If you want to call eight for four nine Buck
Speaker 1: eight four four eight to five, let's I do. If
Speaker 1: you want to talk abou Korea, that's cool. But employment, jobs,
Speaker 1: the economy, it's fun to discuss right now because business
Speaker 1: is booming. Baby. It's a good time to be an
Speaker 1: American and not a good time to be a Democrat.
Speaker 1: Who wants to pretend that it's not a good time
Speaker 1: to be an American. He's holding the line for America.
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton is back. So this isn't just about the
Speaker 1: unemployment rate. It's about wages rising in our country so
Speaker 1: that consumer confidence is restored, because our economy will never
Speaker 1: fully reach its um uh possibilities unless we increase the confidence,
Speaker 1: and that can only be increased by the better deal,
Speaker 1: better jobs, better wages, housing subsidies, and the rest. Has
Speaker 1: not gone down because of the wage stagnation. So in
Speaker 1: terms of the financial stability of America's working families, unless
Speaker 1: we have an increase, very significant increase in wages and
Speaker 1: bigger paychecks, are we were going to increase the frustration
Speaker 1: of America's families because they'll be saying, hip hip hoarae.
Speaker 1: Unemployment is down, What does that mean to me in
Speaker 1: my life? I need a bigger paycheck. There has never
Speaker 1: been a better time to invest in the United States,
Speaker 1: thanks to our mess of tax cuts, historic deregulation, a
Speaker 1: strong trade policy which has just really begun, because I
Speaker 1: will tell you, over the years it has been an
Speaker 1: extraordinarily weak trade policy, the opening of American energy, and
Speaker 1: a return to the rule of law. Our economy is
Speaker 1: absolutely booming best it's ever been. Unemployment is at the
Speaker 1: lowest level in nearly half a century, and for African
Speaker 1: American and Hispanic American workers. Unemployment has reached its lowest
Speaker 1: level ever recorded. So who are you gonna believe on
Speaker 1: the economy, folks, Pelosi chronic, stupid question. Yeah, exactly. By
Speaker 1: the way, we did a fact check of this one
Speaker 1: courtesy of a producer, Mike. This is great. So Pelosi
Speaker 1: says that consumer confidence must be restored. It is currently
Speaker 1: measured at a two point one, which is higher. That
Speaker 1: is higher under Trump than at any time under Bush
Speaker 1: or Obama. That's sixteen years of presidency, my friends, consumer
Speaker 1: confidence higher now than at any time under Bush or Obama. Huh,
Speaker 1: that's like so weird w T h uh. Also, Pelosi
Speaker 1: said there's wig stagnation, but the employment cost index regord
Speaker 1: to register two point six percent for the full year,
Speaker 1: which means that Trump had the best wage gains since
Speaker 1: the Great Depression, way beyond anything Obama had in his
Speaker 1: eight years. By the way, and that's what Obama coming
Speaker 1: out spending money like we had never seen before, spending
Speaker 1: your money as it means of propping up the economy,
Speaker 1: make it seem like there was more growth and more
Speaker 1: going on than there was. Also, she calls consumer confidence
Speaker 1: canoeber confidence, which maybe she was talking about something else there,
Speaker 1: but Canoeber confidence is not something I'm familiar with, unless
Speaker 1: it's like something to do with Huber. I don't know.
Speaker 1: So there's that, Thanks for thanks for pulling that apart.
Speaker 1: I think Nancy's gonna go cry in the corner now, Mike.
Speaker 1: That's all on you, don't Mike is not gonna feel
Speaker 1: bad about that though. Just real quick, I'm gonna add
Speaker 1: on that. I forgot to tell you this earlier. Actually,
Speaker 1: six of Obama's eight years in office saw gains of
Speaker 1: two or less. I think that's also important. But it
Speaker 1: was really hard because we're gonna hold the cots in
Speaker 1: the Wall Street and they weren't all about things, and
Speaker 1: they're gonna make it really double. So we're never gonna
Speaker 1: have a good e columy a gun. But on the
Speaker 1: best president ever, it's yeah, not so much, not so much.
Speaker 1: It turns out that the Obama economy was a pain
Speaker 1: inflicted on the American people that was not necessary, that
Speaker 1: was not inevitable, and there is a better way forward. Wow,
Speaker 1: it's amazing what can happen when you don't allow regulation
Speaker 1: to strangle small businesses and to push out competition. It's
Speaker 1: amazing when the government picks fewer winners and losers, is
Speaker 1: less engaged in market intrusions. I'm not saying it's perfect.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying Trump has fixed everything and we're not
Speaker 1: crazy here, but it's getting better, it is improving. I
Speaker 1: think this is also a time when am I You
Speaker 1: can fact check me on this. There are more jobs
Speaker 1: current They estimate there more jobs currently out there than
Speaker 1: there are people looking for jobs, which is a pretty
Speaker 1: powerful thing, isn't it. All these numbers that can you imagine,
Speaker 1: By the way, if if Obama had these numbers eighteen
Speaker 1: months into his presidency and I don't know, people say, oh,
Speaker 1: back was coming out of the greatest depression of the
Speaker 1: history of depressions, are yeah, okay. Whatever all they had
Speaker 1: to do was shore up the banks, which Bush did.
Speaker 1: All Obama did was coming and be like I'm gonna
Speaker 1: Sen'm gonna spout troy and dollars'n spud up trillion, a
Speaker 1: trillion dollars on stuff, shovel ready projects trillion dollars didn't happen, right,
Speaker 1: or the spending happened, but the shove already didn't happen.
Speaker 1: The Bush administration was the one that's like, all right,
Speaker 1: we gotta bail out the banks, you know, and that's
Speaker 1: a whole other conversation, but they were the ones that
Speaker 1: got that in motion. You build out the banks, you
Speaker 1: had to have a reset. But the this was always
Speaker 1: the fact, This was the figure that bit devil the
Speaker 1: Obama administration. And is why I actually thought mid Romney
Speaker 1: had a real shot of winning in twelve was because
Speaker 1: the recovery from the recession. And I know it was
Speaker 1: a very a very painful recession, very real, no question
Speaker 1: about it. The recovery from that recession that was the
Speaker 1: slowest thing had ever been since the Great Depression. So
Speaker 1: even with a difficult hand come and every administration is
Speaker 1: given a difficult hand in one way or another. But
Speaker 1: even with that, Obama's efforts to fix the economy were
Speaker 1: comparatively to other administrations coming out of recessions week very
Speaker 1: very weak. And now and now we we see this,
Speaker 1: we see okay, well, what's it like when a president
Speaker 1: comes in office? Was like, you know what, We're gonna
Speaker 1: do everything we can to let the business of the
Speaker 1: American people be business. And it is, as Trump said,
Speaker 1: never been a better time to invest in the us.
Speaker 1: We are crushing it. We are actually as a country
Speaker 1: getting wealthier, happier, living longer than at any time in history.
Speaker 1: Things are better now than they have ever been. In fact,
Speaker 1: I know people don't like happy talk. We got problems.
Speaker 1: I know, we got issues. We got you know, we
Speaker 1: got an opioid epidemic, we got a legal immigration. We
Speaker 1: still got the hottest circling the globe looking to do
Speaker 1: us harm, looking to ruin everything that we've built here
Speaker 1: in this country. We've got democrats status internally trying to
Speaker 1: take away our freedoms. We've got people at the progressive
Speaker 1: culture revolution is under full under full swing. I get
Speaker 1: it all that's happening, But if you're looking at this
Speaker 1: from an economic perspective, you cannot stop and think, Wow,
Speaker 1: this president's actually get and something's done. It's going it
Speaker 1: is going well. And that's why I mean Pelosi. But
Speaker 1: by the way, I don't know. I don't know if
Speaker 1: she had her butler pulled together those figures, you know,
Speaker 1: I don't know she was like jeeves, jeeves, have it
Speaker 1: like you to to to be the one to to
Speaker 1: pull together all my research? You know, She's like not,
Speaker 1: I don't know she says she's a master legislator. But
Speaker 1: I got questions. I don't think I don't think that's
Speaker 1: a fair a fair statement of fact. Proved me wrong exactly,
Speaker 1: Thank you, John. Uh. You know, I think that there's
Speaker 1: plenty of reasons for us to to sell it, to
Speaker 1: be pleased with what's going on, but push for more.
Speaker 1: There's a lot more that has to get done. And
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be on air with you at some point.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be talking about probably a fifteen or twenty
Speaker 1: dropping the stock mark. It's gonna happen. There's gonna be
Speaker 1: a little Things have overheated a bit because of structural,
Speaker 1: long term economic issues that haven't been dealt with yet,
Speaker 1: because the dead that deficit, that's all there. I get it.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna pretend it's not gonna be happy times
Speaker 1: always in forever. But you know what's true about this president.
Speaker 1: If things get tough like that, at least we've got
Speaker 1: people in charge who know how to turn things around too,
Speaker 1: who can handle the up and down of the market
Speaker 1: without And we almost had an abandonment of capitalism underway
Speaker 1: when Obama came into office with the Occupy Wall Street
Speaker 1: movement and the redistribution of wealth and the pay your
Speaker 1: fair share. All of a sudden, it's like, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: democratic socialism. That's the answer to a financial crisis that
Speaker 1: was largely engineered by the state acting under social justice principles.
Speaker 1: What they don't tell you about so important. You remember this.
Speaker 1: You go back and you watch The Big Short. There's
Speaker 1: a lot you know that movie with Brad Payte. It's
Speaker 1: a very entertaining movie, but there's a lot of preachy
Speaker 1: stuff about you know, they're just gonna blame poor people,
Speaker 1: and they're just gonna blame immigrants. So they're just gonna
Speaker 1: mean those are quotes from the movie. That's what they say.
Speaker 1: And the whole movie is about blaming Wall Street, which, yeah,
Speaker 1: Wall Street is greedy and walls, but their job is
Speaker 1: greed bar from Gordon Gecko. Greed is good. I mean
Speaker 1: it ken be. It's not always good. But self interest
Speaker 1: is at the heart of capitalism, and self interest is
Speaker 1: a beautiful thing when harnessed in a properly in a society.
Speaker 1: It's why our capitalist system has been the greatest creator
Speaker 1: of global wealth in the history of the planet. In
Speaker 1: the shortest amount of time of any period in human history.
Speaker 1: We have pulled more people out of poverty. We've created
Speaker 1: more long term, durable wealth, better lives for billions, literally
Speaker 1: billions of people, thanks capitalism. But instead you've got a
Speaker 1: left wing progressive movement in this country that likes to
Speaker 1: question capitalism in every turn and refuses to accept that
Speaker 1: it is just a better system for organizing human affairs
Speaker 1: than the state in control. They object to that, they
Speaker 1: don't like it. They are ideologically predisposed to dispense with
Speaker 1: the facts on the big short which I mentioned to you.
Speaker 1: They never get into the fact that the only reason
Speaker 1: that you could have such crappy loans made for Holmes
Speaker 1: was because of government mandates that stretched all the way
Speaker 1: back to the Community Reinvestment Act and the practices of redlining.
Speaker 1: They were saying that minority dominant areas of the country,
Speaker 1: we're not getting loans for homes, that access to credit
Speaker 1: became not a financial issue but a social justice issue.
Speaker 1: And by saying that lending practices were racists and that
Speaker 1: banks had to get rid of the financial numeric standards
Speaker 1: in place, that was the facile material that was the
Speaker 1: fuel that led to the conflagration of the Great Recession.
Speaker 1: But they don't you know that the movie completely ignores that.
Speaker 1: You do not hear the words in the big short
Speaker 1: about the financial meltdown of two thousand and eight. You
Speaker 1: do not hear the words Fannie mayor Freddie Mack. If
Speaker 1: you do, it's in passing and no one talking, like
Speaker 1: no one pays any attention. I don't even think it
Speaker 1: appears the whole movie though. Nothing, no talk about Fanny
Speaker 1: mayor fred Oh. That's right, those semi government organizations that
Speaker 1: were the ones guaranteeing all these loans, that were pushing
Speaker 1: the home ownership society as kind of a rite of
Speaker 1: passage in this country. Everybody gets on you know, you
Speaker 1: get a car, you get a car, everybody gets at home.
Speaker 1: You mean that can lead to bad things. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: that's right. It can very much lead to bad things.
Speaker 1: I was talking about the economy. I just kind of
Speaker 1: got on a it's kind of got on a tear there.
Speaker 1: We got every line, lits. That's fine. We'll take some calls.
Speaker 1: We'll hang out an hour to a lot of a
Speaker 1: lot of things, many things to discuss. I've got good stories.
Speaker 1: I've got good stories for you. Stay with me. We
Speaker 1: are lit here in the hot lots of lines to
Speaker 1: get to here. Thank you for your calls, folks. Let's
Speaker 1: get to John in Winston Salem. Hey John, good evening, Buck,
Speaker 1: thanks for taking my call. Good evenings are Thank you
Speaker 1: for calling. I'm I'm really really concerned about the discussions
Speaker 1: right now with regard to data and it seems like, uh,
Speaker 1: we're in danger of actually doing a form of amnesty,
Speaker 1: which I think will be a killer come come election
Speaker 1: time in November. My concerns are are are these real quick? Uh? One,
Speaker 1: I think uh, the DOCTA UH group was supposed to
Speaker 1: contain a lot of criminals. Those criminals should not be
Speaker 1: allowed to stay. Those criminals should not be allowed to
Speaker 1: become a citizens. Secondly, UH, whatever they do with DOCTA,
Speaker 1: these people should not be allowed to vote. We've got
Speaker 1: to find some way to de incentivize having them come.
Speaker 1: And I think, uh, any consideration of any kind of
Speaker 1: citizenship should include the provision that there be absolutely no
Speaker 1: financial uh no financial payout at all from city, state
Speaker 1: or national for health care, for edgye, cation, for housing, uh,
Speaker 1: medical anything. They should be completely off of the government
Speaker 1: doll Otherwise, you're paying people to become citizens. And we've
Speaker 1: got to deincentivize this whole idea, John, I I understand
Speaker 1: what you're saying. I'll just let you know that are
Speaker 1: we have some history on this, on making people on
Speaker 1: amnesties and then letting people become permanent residents, and we
Speaker 1: can say, and we can pass laws and and all
Speaker 1: kinds of promises about how they will not access federal
Speaker 1: benefits and they will access benefits, my friend, there will
Speaker 1: be lawsuits after lawsuits. The A c L you represent
Speaker 1: every person covered under a DACA amnesty and say it's unconstitutional.
Speaker 1: There's an equal protection violation because they can't access benefits.
Speaker 1: So I understand what you're saying. I agree with that sentiment.
Speaker 1: I just want you to be aware though. All with amnesty,
Speaker 1: the only thing you are guaranteed is that those who
Speaker 1: amnesty will stay. Anything about learning English, back taxes, paying fun,
Speaker 1: that's all coop la, that's all nonsense, malarkey. But thank
Speaker 1: you for calling in, John, and it's good to talk
Speaker 1: to you. Uh Kathy in Mansfield, Ohio. Hey, Kathy, Oh
Speaker 1: hi hi Buck? Hello, um hey, Well this is fun
Speaker 1: to talk to you. I love listening to you. You
Speaker 1: make me laugh, you make my day. Thank you so much.
Speaker 1: My favorite impersonation is your Janet Napolitano hands down. Yeah.
Speaker 1: But anyway, I was calling to see what you thought
Speaker 1: about um with the liberal media talking points and thinking
Speaker 1: of this with the recent Bill Clinton meltdown with that
Speaker 1: question on Morning Joe and wondering like, who gave that
Speaker 1: that person the marching orders too to ask him um,
Speaker 1: you know, a tough question and all of a sudden that's,
Speaker 1: you know, such a soft place for him to be
Speaker 1: UM and then kind of just tying that in with
Speaker 1: um some of the just repetitive words that they'll use.
Speaker 1: On the same day, everybody, you know, Russia has played
Speaker 1: these sorts of um montages where everyone says gravitas or
Speaker 1: nefarius or some word you know then and people latch onto.
Speaker 1: It's part of the echo chamber of fact that the
Speaker 1: media has, that the media creates. So but is there
Speaker 1: someone is there some secret um like phone call at
Speaker 1: five am that they're all getting in on and well
Speaker 1: they watch each other. Should keep One thing that that
Speaker 1: I think good folks outside to know is that pretty
Speaker 1: much every media organization is constantly watching every other media organization.
Speaker 1: It's like we're all spying on each other. Uh. And
Speaker 1: in some cases it's it's just to be look, it's
Speaker 1: you need to stay up on what's going on, and
Speaker 1: people are covering breaking news and you're in a newsroom
Speaker 1: and you know what's happening. But in most TV executives offices,
Speaker 1: for example, and most hosts of shows, there are monitors
Speaker 1: with all the other networks on constantly. When I'm in
Speaker 1: when I'm in the New York office, for example, we're
Speaker 1: doing my show, I have the cable news shows on
Speaker 1: mute in front of me on screens, not right in
Speaker 1: front of me, but I can look up and see
Speaker 1: them all the time. So you do have this reinforcement
Speaker 1: of certain concepts, ideas, stories that's going on. And if
Speaker 1: you're not careful, you end up being somebody who's like,
Speaker 1: you know, on the on the precipice, you know, leaping
Speaker 1: into the abyss a scene of carnage. You just start
Speaker 1: repeating whatever what else is saying about everything else that's
Speaker 1: out there. So but not us here, Kathy, because we
Speaker 1: got we got big vocabularies and lots of thoughts. So
Speaker 1: that's that's what we do. Thanks Cathy, Thanks so much, Cathy,
Speaker 1: take care, appreciate it. Uh, I gouts. I got a
Speaker 1: story about immigration. I want to tell you guys actually,

Speaker 1: you know, you know now I feel like Garth when
Speaker 1: he's like you'n that bad any corporate sponsored He's like
Speaker 1: got all the Reebok year on. And then Wayne is
Speaker 1: like newprin little Yellow different after he says he has
Speaker 1: a headache. You know, it's such a great movie. I
Speaker 1: really I you know, they don't make him like that anymore.
Speaker 1: They're it. I just pretend like the second Wins world
Speaker 1: doesn't exist, all right. Immigration, I was telling you about
Speaker 1: how they you can't trust, like I've only said this
Speaker 1: once to say it all the time. Cannot trust Republicans
Speaker 1: an immigration can't can't do it, You can't do it.
Speaker 1: We'll do it live you can't trust them, and they
Speaker 1: show you my time and time again because a lot
Speaker 1: of them, Paul Ryan among them, don't really want there
Speaker 1: to be stricter enforcement, a secure border. Interior enforcement is
Speaker 1: very high on the list, by the way, you verifying
Speaker 1: other programs in place. They don't want any of that,
Speaker 1: and now Paul Ryan is blaming them Play eleven. I
Speaker 1: think the Democrats kind of walked away from the process
Speaker 1: once the Spreme Court took away our deadline and March
Speaker 1: the fifth on this issue, and that had left it
Speaker 1: to us to try and figure out how do we
Speaker 1: get this done. I worry that Democrats would rather have
Speaker 1: UM an issue than a solution. We're going to work
Speaker 1: on a solution. Yep, he is correct. I think they
Speaker 1: would rather have an issue than a solution. But then again,
Speaker 1: I'm not sure that much more can be said for
Speaker 1: the Republican side of things. I'm just it's kind of
Speaker 1: like I see it on this one UM. A lot
Speaker 1: of GOP members want to talk about they want to
Speaker 1: talk tough on immigration enforcement, but they really just want amnesty, amnesty, amnesty.
Speaker 1: And you know, if you if you listen to some
Speaker 1: the speeches Paul Ryan's getting on this. He's the guy
Speaker 1: he's like, Yeah, let's let people just come here, work here,
Speaker 1: stay here as long as they want, not understanding that
Speaker 1: once you're here and you get into the system, getting
Speaker 1: you to leave is very, very difficult. I I asked
Speaker 1: you a question before the break. I said, what percentage
Speaker 1: of the federal prison population do you think is comprised
Speaker 1: or is composed? Pardon me? Immigrants are what? There? We
Speaker 1: go better way to phrase it, immigra are what percentage
Speaker 1: of the federal prison population? Fifteen twenty try thirty one
Speaker 1: thirty one of the federal prison population is immigrants. So
Speaker 1: that seems like a lot. I keep in mind, that
Speaker 1: doesn't even begin to tell you what the overall incarcerated
Speaker 1: population of immigrants in this country is. I'm not anti immigrant.
Speaker 1: We're gonna break this down. A vast majority of these
Speaker 1: immigrants are illegal immigrants. And by the way, a vast
Speaker 1: majority of the illegal immigrants who are in federal prison
Speaker 1: are there for drugs smuggling. That's the number one issue
Speaker 1: that they are being held for in federal prison. Um. Yeah,
Speaker 1: nearly half of the migrants in federal customer there for
Speaker 1: drugs smuggling or dealing so either bringing the drugs into
Speaker 1: the country or moving drugs around the country once they're here.
Speaker 1: So that's I think a very important figure. But it
Speaker 1: also doesn't take into account state prison populations, which are
Speaker 1: much larger than the federal prison population, a lot more
Speaker 1: state prisons and federal prisons, And they don't keep reliable
Speaker 1: figures about immigrants and state prisons. Isn't that interesting? They
Speaker 1: just don't have them they which is such a how
Speaker 1: could you not know? Would you want to know if
Speaker 1: your state prison has people who are in the country
Speaker 1: illegally in it? Wouldn't you want to know what's going
Speaker 1: on there? But I mentioned on the air, I think
Speaker 1: it was earlier in the week. I said, what would happen?
Speaker 1: I mean, if you look at the because we we
Speaker 1: always hear, oh, immigrants commit few We're told immigrants commit
Speaker 1: fewer crimes than native born Americans. So this is the
Speaker 1: Democrats saying that you, as an American, are more likely
Speaker 1: to commit crimes and immigrants are That's what they're always saying.
Speaker 1: And I say, okay, I'm I'm not even talking about
Speaker 1: immigrants who are here I llegally, I want to I
Speaker 1: just want to talk about illegal immigrants and the percentage
Speaker 1: of the illegal immigrant population involved in criminal activity versus
Speaker 1: the native born American population. By the way, native born
Speaker 1: American includes white, black, Latino, Asian expan you know everything, right,
Speaker 1: and the entirety of Americans, my fellow Americans, versus those
Speaker 1: who come into the country illegally from any country. That's
Speaker 1: a much more. That's the apples to apples comparison. That's
Speaker 1: what I want to know. We we don't have that information, though, Oh,
Speaker 1: isn't that isn't that interesting? I don't keep that information.
Speaker 1: But I meant in a city that is known for
Speaker 1: being the single biggest magnet for illegal for illegal aliens
Speaker 1: in the country is Los Angeles. And I think it
Speaker 1: is interesting that when you go on the Los Angeles
Speaker 1: and I'm on it right now. You go on the
Speaker 1: official side of the Los Angeles Police Department, the l
Speaker 1: A p D, which I think is the second largest
Speaker 1: p D in the country after it where I work,
Speaker 1: the NYPD, and you look at the most wanted people
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles. Right now, we're talking about illegal aliens
Speaker 1: and legal alien crime. And this is just this is anecdotal.
Speaker 1: I understand that, but the l A p D is
Speaker 1: currently at the top of its list, looking for Jose Padilla,
Speaker 1: Augusto Caesar, Nistal Jesse Jesse, Enrique Monarees, Ramon Reyes, Victor Vargas,
Speaker 1: and Reuben Villa. That's what what do you got free? Mike?
Speaker 1: You got something I couldn't hear you. I was just
Speaker 1: fast checking you on the police departments two. Oh, Chicago's
Speaker 1: number two. Darnet Buck All right, you got one on
Speaker 1: me this time, but savor the flavor because it won't
Speaker 1: happen again. I was trying to get Yeah, I was
Speaker 1: surprised as you or I thought you were right. I
Speaker 1: was just checking out that that well, that makes sense
Speaker 1: because I think the way you know l A, there's
Speaker 1: a lot of because LA is really many cities connected.
Speaker 1: So the l A p D specifically probably doesn't like
Speaker 1: there's there's like Santa Monica p D and and I
Speaker 1: don't know how they do it there. M YPD is huge.
Speaker 1: YPD is forty plus, it's enormous. It's like an army.
Speaker 1: So anyway, but I look at all these I look
Speaker 1: at all these individuals, and they all have I mean, look,
Speaker 1: you heard the names, they're all they're all they're all hispanic.
Speaker 1: What's interesting to me is that the l a p
Speaker 1: D is most wanted Listen, Uh, they don't have they
Speaker 1: have their biographing that they don't have listed here. Are
Speaker 1: they illegal aliens in the country? So is there is
Speaker 1: there a deportation or around None of that information is share.
Speaker 1: They've got you know, armed and dangerous, they have height,
Speaker 1: they have weight, they have tattoos, they have the date
Speaker 1: of birth, photo, all this different background information. Nothing here
Speaker 1: about whether he's an illegal alien. I just think that
Speaker 1: that's something that I mean, it's a law enforcement organization.
Speaker 1: Can we know that? Are we Are we allowed to
Speaker 1: know that? Maybe? Because by the way, that also goes
Speaker 1: to if he is an illegal alien, guess what that means.
Speaker 1: He's got citizenship in another country because he's not undocumented.
Speaker 1: He just has documents from a different country than this one.
Speaker 1: And if he's on the run and he's an illegal alien,
Speaker 1: guess what the likeliest thing is for him to do
Speaker 1: go back to country of origin until the heat dies down.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, you mean that as a public safety issue,
Speaker 1: it would be good to know whether this person is
Speaker 1: not just in the Los Angeles area, but is likely
Speaker 1: to be fleeing towards the border. That seems to me,
Speaker 1: I would this is like a New York City when
Speaker 1: I'll sometimes I this is just what happens. We'll be
Speaker 1: watching TV and they'll be like, there is a you know,
Speaker 1: assault and burglary suspect on the loose. He wears T shirts.
Speaker 1: Sometimes he's male, five ten five pounds. That's all they got. Huh,
Speaker 1: that's all. That's all they want to tell the public.
Speaker 1: They got a photo of him. But the announcer is
Speaker 1: just gonna tell us five ten pounds, where's T shirts?
Speaker 1: But I see a photo. They've got a photo, but
Speaker 1: they don't want to talk about the photo. That strikes
Speaker 1: me as strange. You could, you could call me a weirdo,
Speaker 1: but that strikes me as strange. And the fact that
Speaker 1: the l A p D has it's I know it's
Speaker 1: it should be a I don't think they have a
Speaker 1: top temost one of They just have a most wanted
Speaker 1: That's what I'm seeing here. But all of the individuals
Speaker 1: at the top of their most wanted list are Latino,
Speaker 1: and none of them and they have all this information
Speaker 1: of photos and none of them they have their immigration status,
Speaker 1: which I think as a public safety issue. You'd want
Speaker 1: to know, are these people who have international ties? Are
Speaker 1: they likely flight risks to foreign countries like that stuff that?
Speaker 1: And I just wondered, does do the l A p
Speaker 1: D even have the information on file? I'm not sure
Speaker 1: because the way they structure these sanctuary cities, they don't
Speaker 1: want people to know. I mean, that's like I don't ask,
Speaker 1: don't tell policy about it, agration status. L A right
Speaker 1: now doesn't want to honor detainer requests. When I says,
Speaker 1: Immigrations and Customer Enforcement says, hey, can you hold on
Speaker 1: to that person for us will be there tomorrow to
Speaker 1: pick them up and kick them out of the country,
Speaker 1: l A says, nope, I'm not gonna do that. Won't
Speaker 1: do that. You know, this is where you get into folks.
Speaker 1: They they don't want to tell you the truth in this.
Speaker 1: They don't want to be held accountable. They're playing games
Speaker 1: with you. This is also why I would note there
Speaker 1: is a real effort out there too avoid tying the
Speaker 1: opioid epidemic into the illegal alien crime surge in the country.
Speaker 1: These are two things that are linked. The people bringing
Speaker 1: the illegal drugs, not the legal ones. And I can
Speaker 1: talk to you about it. There's some big case out
Speaker 1: now actually about a guy that's part of a hundred
Speaker 1: million dollar essentially oxycotton fraud ing in Detroit. You know,
Speaker 1: he's facing a very long prison stretch. He's got doctors
Speaker 1: in on it. That's a part of it too, I know.
Speaker 1: But on the illegal substance side of fentonel and heroin,
Speaker 1: the smuggling is coming from south of the border. The
Speaker 1: Mexican drug cartels are growing it, and they are using
Speaker 1: the illegal alien pathways into this country, the same smuggling roots,
Speaker 1: the same smuggling organizations and then hiding in the illegal
Speaker 1: alien communities and then distributing these drugs in our communities
Speaker 1: in this country and killing sixty thousand plus people a year,
Speaker 1: sixty thousand and counting year in and Europe. It's a
Speaker 1: lot of overdose deaths. In fact, I think I saw
Speaker 1: today a statistic that among millennials, twenty percent right now
Speaker 1: of millennial deaths them directly attribute attributable to opioid overdose.
Speaker 1: This scourge that is hitting communities across the country, that
Speaker 1: is hitting city after city, small cities, medium sized cities,
Speaker 1: to not just in the major urban centers, is the
Speaker 1: result of penetration of those communities by smuggling rings. The
Speaker 1: smuggling rings come from south of the border and are
Speaker 1: using the much broader and yes, I know law abiding
Speaker 1: or other than their illegal status, but illegal alien communities
Speaker 1: as cover for their actions and cover for their status.
Speaker 1: This is what's happening. It's almost like a drug insurgency.
Speaker 1: Right there only some insurgents, but if they have a
Speaker 1: broader population to hide in, it makes it a lot
Speaker 1: more difficult to route them out. The cartels and their smugglers,
Speaker 1: their couriers, those are the insurgents in this analogy. This inserted.
Speaker 1: This drug insurgency is in cities, is in cities across
Speaker 1: the country right now, and it is killing large numbers
Speaker 1: of us. And this is why when you look at
Speaker 1: the the federal prison population and how thirty percent of
Speaker 1: it involves I mean they say immigrants, Like I said,
Speaker 1: they need to start separating immigrants from illegal immigrants, because
Speaker 1: I think that's a much more relevant statistic, because I
Speaker 1: I think then you'd see the concentration of illegal activity
Speaker 1: is among those who are already in the country illegally,
Speaker 1: people that go I mean people that go through the
Speaker 1: process of coming into this country. I have friends who
Speaker 1: have done it and told me about it in detail.
Speaker 1: It's a lot of work. You're not gonna risk getting
Speaker 1: jammed up. And and you know, if you're the kind
Speaker 1: of person that goes through the immigration process legally and
Speaker 1: doesn't use some sketchy loophole or you know, lie about something,
Speaker 1: pretends someone's your kids, you can come to the country.
Speaker 1: You're the kind of person that crosses the teas and
Speaker 1: dots the eyes, the kind of person that wants your peace,
Speaker 1: the American dream wants to go about it the right way.
Speaker 1: So you're in a whole separate category. But you see,
Speaker 1: they always want to, you know, muddy the waters. They
Speaker 1: always wanna make it more difficult to understand the real
Speaker 1: scope of the problem and the real center of the problem,
Speaker 1: which is illegal immigration. Because if we knew, and we're
Speaker 1: able to really drill down into the numbers over how
Speaker 1: much illegal immigration feeds into the opioid epidemic that is
Speaker 1: consuming this country and is destroying communities, particularly in the
Speaker 1: rust belt in Appalachia, there would be a finally, I think,
Speaker 1: a groundswell, a political clamor for action to be taken,
Speaker 1: a wall, interior enforcement shut down, the pipelines shut down,
Speaker 1: the continued infiltration of this country of millions and millions
Speaker 1: of people who are not supposed to be here and
Speaker 1: who are violating our laws, and who don't seem to
Speaker 1: think that we even have a right to tell them
Speaker 1: anymore that they're violating our laws. Whereas you know, we
Speaker 1: had we had a g sessions on this one. He
Speaker 1: is strong on immigration, my friends. He does everything he
Speaker 1: can under the law. We need the Republican Congress to act,
Speaker 1: and we need the Trump administration to spur them to
Speaker 1: that action. Eight four or four buck if you want
Speaker 1: to chat about this, and uh, we have a whole
Speaker 1: lot more coming, including a quite a throwdown between Sara
Speaker 1: Hugaby Sanders and Bro Cuomo over at CNN that's coming up.

Speaker 1: I mentioned this before, and I wanted to just just
Speaker 1: before we went to the break there and I mentioned
Speaker 1: this fraud ster in Detroit and how this is the
Speaker 1: other part of the opioid crisis is that unsavory, untrustworthy
Speaker 1: doctors and others, uh you know who who prescribe pills
Speaker 1: and get involved in these schemes because the pills have
Speaker 1: a very they're very valuable in the street, you know,
Speaker 1: selling them illegally things like an oxycon and they just
Speaker 1: ruined people's lives and they're so powerful. This guy Rashid
Speaker 1: his last dame, I'm trying to find his first name.
Speaker 1: He faces life in prison for a hundred and thirty
Speaker 1: two million dollar fraud scheme here where he, according to
Speaker 1: the Detroit News, recruited homeless people as patients, sent phony
Speaker 1: bills to Medicare, and subjected drug addicts to unnecessary back
Speaker 1: injections and then prescribe powerful pain medication that so that
Speaker 1: I could be sold on the street. Yeah, he's in
Speaker 1: a lot of trouble. He had like a gold Lamborghini though,
Speaker 1: so there's so he had that going for him, which
Speaker 1: is nice. Dexter in San Antonio, what's on your mind, sir?
Speaker 1: Hey Mark? On a lighter note, I'm thinking that you
Speaker 1: need to give Nancy Pelosi her own theme song. And
Speaker 1: I'm torn between the Wicked Witch of the West theme
Speaker 1: from The Wizardly Odd or uh if I only had
Speaker 1: a brain, the Scarecrow song. And I'm really kind of
Speaker 1: torn as too, which one I think would be better?
Speaker 1: I see Dexter is a musical theater buff. Not really,
Speaker 1: I just I I every time I listened to her,
Speaker 1: I think, when are they going to acknowledge that she
Speaker 1: is now suffering from all timers. Hey be nice, it's uh,
Speaker 1: I'm just telling you she's got the symptoms. She's got
Speaker 1: the symptoms. Anyway. Uh, that's not what I wanted to
Speaker 1: call and talked about. Have you been seeing Elon Musk's
Speaker 1: tweets about the media thing that they have no credibility
Speaker 1: and that's why Trump was elected? No, but this sounds amazing.
Speaker 1: Do I need to track these down? Yeah? I think
Speaker 1: you ought to, because now he is claiming he's going
Speaker 1: to set up a media watch group, which you really
Speaker 1: love this. He's gonna call it Pravda. Huh. All right, well,
Speaker 1: thank you Dexter for the heads up on that. I'll
Speaker 1: take a look. I didn't know anything about those Elon
Speaker 1: Musk tweets. He's a smart dude, he's a visionary, he's
Speaker 1: a real deal. So I'll give it a shot and uh,
Speaker 1: there have it. Um. Oh yeah, the the Cuomo Sarah
Speaker 1: Huckaby Sanders throw down. I want to break that down
Speaker 1: with you coming up next. If you think having your
Speaker 1: credit card stolen is bad, it's nothing compared to home
Speaker 1: title theft. Everything is online these days, that includes your
Speaker 1: home's title and thieves at home and all over the

Speaker 1: and guess what, they'll steal that equity. They will take
Speaker 1: you off your home's title and add an alias, then
Speaker 1: borrow hundreds of thousands of dollars using your home's equity,
Speaker 1: and then sticking you with the payments. You're not gonna
Speaker 1: know until you get a late payment notice. Identity theft

Speaker 1: That's home title lock dot com. The I G has
Speaker 1: looked at his leadership model and found lacking. At the
Speaker 1: end of the day, the reason he jumped into the
Speaker 1: middle of the election was Garci blied there was some
Speaker 1: intelligence compromising Uh the Attorney General, Loretta Lynch. I think
Speaker 1: the Department of Justice was in the tank for Clinton. Uh.
Speaker 1: The FBI did not do a very good job of
Speaker 1: looking at the Clinton email investigation. It was a sham investigation.
Speaker 1: There was insubordination or belligerent, arrogant attitude by the FBI director,
Speaker 1: and that pattern continued. It was do what I want
Speaker 1: to do the way I want to do. For example,
Speaker 1: he uh, he suspected Lauretta Lynch of of misconduct, and
Speaker 1: yet he never kept memos of their meetings, but he
Speaker 1: kept a memo from day one with President Trump. He
Speaker 1: serves at the pleasure of the President. And if in
Speaker 1: fact he's arrogant, if in fact he's insubordinate, uh, if
Speaker 1: in fact he has a double standard four Hillary uh
Speaker 1: and against Trump, all of those things are reasons to
Speaker 1: terminate him. The reality is, this is a indictment of
Speaker 1: the behavior of Comy more than sufficient to show he
Speaker 1: should have been terminated. I g report it's gonna be
Speaker 1: out next week. It is gonna be a rough one,
Speaker 1: I think for Comey and McCabe. In fact, all of
Speaker 1: the initial information we have all of the the the
Speaker 1: tidbits that have been released, I guess you could say
Speaker 1: leaks in advance of the official unveiling of this Inspector
Speaker 1: General poor from the Department of Justice indicates that, uh,
Speaker 1: we're gonna find out that that Comy is every bit
Speaker 1: as unctious and self maneuver you know, self entitled maneuvering.
Speaker 1: It just a bureaucratic, slimy guy, as I've been telling
Speaker 1: you all along. That's what I think. That's what I
Speaker 1: think we're gonna find out. But the big take away
Speaker 1: from it could be there was ample ground to fire Comey.
Speaker 1: And if the President had ample ground to fire Comy
Speaker 1: as he did, then what is this whole obstruction farce
Speaker 1: that they are trying to run with in the media
Speaker 1: and and even include it into the Mueller probe? What's
Speaker 1: the what's the purpose of of that? How could that be?
Speaker 1: If Comy's own inspector or former Inspector General at the
Speaker 1: Department of Justice finds wrongdoing in Comy's actions, as he
Speaker 1: certainly will, there's absolutely no excuse, absolutely no excuse whatsoever
Speaker 1: for what Comy did by stepping in front of Loretta
Speaker 1: Lynch that whole press conference that was comy just couldn't
Speaker 1: help himself. He wanted to be the one, the one
Speaker 1: honest man at the center of the drama. It's unacceptable.
Speaker 1: That was not his job, that was not his role.
Speaker 1: And the only reason that Redda Lynch allowed to happen
Speaker 1: was that the alternative for her was to just show
Speaker 1: everybody how corrupt and swampy the whole Obama Clinton circle was. So,
Speaker 1: you know, this is gonna be a tough week for them,
Speaker 1: as I've been saying, big week in the news, coming
Speaker 1: up North Korea Summit next week in Singapore, and you
Speaker 1: also are gonna have the the i G Report released
Speaker 1: and then some hearings on Capitol Hill about it. So
Speaker 1: we're gonna have a lot, a lot to talk about
Speaker 1: next week on this one. But I also wanted to
Speaker 1: get a little bit of this. Cuomo Sanders a bro
Speaker 1: Cuomo A Sarah Huckaby Sanders. You get in all your macros,
Speaker 1: do you lift? Uh? He said he's getting a primetime
Speaker 1: show at CNN now, So I don't know what they
Speaker 1: I don't know what they're doing over at CNN. Anyway,
Speaker 1: She went on the show last night. Give her, give
Speaker 1: her credit for We're going to the lines. Then I
Speaker 1: don't think Sara Huckaby Sanders is afraid of anybody. And
Speaker 1: this is how some of it went. It was really
Speaker 1: some some worthwhile exchanges play clip one. Do you believe
Speaker 1: that this is sustainable? This dynamic where we come at
Speaker 1: you with questions about what's true and what isn't and
Speaker 1: those questions don't get answered. Do you think that by
Speaker 1: saying we stink, we don't like veterans, I don't think
Speaker 1: we are bad for America. The President says that we're
Speaker 1: enemies of America. Do you think that that works for
Speaker 1: you long term? Look at what I think is important
Speaker 1: to remember is that you guys get to ask the questions,
Speaker 1: but you can't always complain about the answers. You constantly
Speaker 1: ask the same question over and over and over again
Speaker 1: and expect different answers and then get mad when the
Speaker 1: answers don't change. No, the job is to get information
Speaker 1: and report the news. Unfortunately, you guys quit reporting the news.
Speaker 1: She's right, CNN is not in the relaying a narrative business.
Speaker 1: The narrative of events that are happening around the world
Speaker 1: and here at home that matters to people. They're in
Speaker 1: the narrative creation business with a clear political bias in
Speaker 1: effect all the time. That's what they do. That is
Speaker 1: their day in and day out. It is now their mantra. Sarah,
Speaker 1: how can we standers continue with the play clip too?
Speaker 1: When I can read a news story and I have
Speaker 1: no idea what side of the story the reporter is on,
Speaker 1: that's a good news story. You'll be hard pressed to
Speaker 1: find a lot of news that looks like that. That
Speaker 1: the story is completely even handed, That one side isn't
Speaker 1: one more right than other. That's something isn't demonstrably true.
Speaker 1: Everything is unknown the news. That's not the truth. Reporting
Speaker 1: facts and letting other people make the decisions. If you
Speaker 1: want to answer the questions, Sarah, how can people do that?
Speaker 1: I answer questions all day, every day, and it's when
Speaker 1: I spent every minute I'm sitting here at nine o'clock
Speaker 1: at night answering questions to you. It is indeed, isn't
Speaker 1: it amazing? Notice how Cuomo is like, I mean, you
Speaker 1: don't even answer questions while he's sitting there in his
Speaker 1: new show on CNN asking her questions that she is answering.
Speaker 1: I mean, you don't even like, you know, no questions
Speaker 1: for you. Right. Oh wait, that was the question. Oh
Speaker 1: play three, John. Nobody thinks, except really right now the
Speaker 1: president and maybe you in this moment, that this is
Speaker 1: a witch hunt. These are real questions, it's a real investigation.
Speaker 1: We've seen real indictments and lots of different threads to
Speaker 1: the story. But I understand that spin. You see, that's editorializing.
Speaker 1: See we can pull this apart. She's there saying, you
Speaker 1: are doing Chris Cuomo, you you know, put down the
Speaker 1: protein shake, bro. You are doing a an opinion show.
Speaker 1: Under the guys of being a straight news show. You
Speaker 1: are doing an opinion show. This is an opinion show
Speaker 1: that I am on speaking from the perspective of Sarah
Speaker 1: Kaby Sanders, And you guys aren't honest about that. You
Speaker 1: don't recognize that fact. So what what is one to
Speaker 1: make of it? Right? What are we to think about it? Oh? Well,
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's her fault for not during the questions.
Speaker 1: And this is just nonsense, it's garbage. When he says
Speaker 1: that it is spin to call something a witch hunt, No, actually,
Speaker 1: that's the opinion of people who are allowed to have opinions.
Speaker 1: It is spin to refer to their statement as spin
Speaker 1: because you're supposed to be a quote journalist. And this
Speaker 1: is what they don't get. I mean, look to see An.
Speaker 1: They're lucky they've got Seen An International and the the
Speaker 1: Airport Channel, and they have all these built in legacy
Speaker 1: ways because that the their their whole mission, or I
Speaker 1: shouldn't say their mission their brand, because it's not the mission.
Speaker 1: The mission is take Trump down. The brand is we
Speaker 1: go down the center world. You know. Notice I don't
Speaker 1: I don't come after MSNBC all the time here on
Speaker 1: the show. And by the way, people who would say
Speaker 1: to me, oh Buck, you worked at See Yeah, So
Speaker 1: I understand what happens there, and I left my own
Speaker 1: volition despite what anybody may think. And I could prove
Speaker 1: it if they want me to. I just don't want
Speaker 1: to be there anymore because it was just honest, flat,
Speaker 1: flat out. Uh. But they don't really understand this, and
Speaker 1: that's and they have made bringing Trump down that that
Speaker 1: is the mission of the entire organization. There's not a
Speaker 1: news organization. It is a glorified pack with a media
Speaker 1: arm and the pack is stop Trump at all costs.
Speaker 1: That is what CNN has become. Cuomo goes even further,
Speaker 1: by the way, on this show where he's claiming to
Speaker 1: be some kind of you know, legitimate nonpartisan journalists, play
Speaker 1: for starting to regret because I wanted to chances at it,
Speaker 1: because I think it hurts your credibility. But I gave
Speaker 1: you the opportunities. You made of them what you wanted,
Speaker 1: all right, it's not it's not very vulnerable with my
Speaker 1: credibility and the fact that I think by sitting here
Speaker 1: right now and taking questions for two shows the type
Speaker 1: of person I am shows my effort to provide information
Speaker 1: and frankly, to be in an environment that's not exactly friendly,
Speaker 1: that's not exactly one that I think a lot of
Speaker 1: people in my position would come and sit in. And
Speaker 1: I think that speaks a lot to my credibility, And
Speaker 1: if you want to focus on my credibility, I think
Speaker 1: that's something that you should certainly look at. I like
Speaker 1: how Sarah doesn't take it. Did you hear the condescending
Speaker 1: tone there? You know, I gave you all the chances,
Speaker 1: and I think you know, you know, I think you
Speaker 1: had your chance in it. Uh. Sorry, he wouldn't speak
Speaker 1: that way to a Democrat guest. I know he wouldn't
Speaker 1: speak that way to a Democrat guest. They had people
Speaker 1: on panels with me at sea, and then I remember
Speaker 1: that this is the way that is over there that
Speaker 1: were friendly with the different hosts or whatever who would
Speaker 1: come on to talk about terrorism, and then they would
Speaker 1: come after me and they would try to even impute
Speaker 1: my credibility to speak on the issue. And I'm looking around,
Speaker 1: I'm like, I have more credibility in this than anybody
Speaker 1: you've got sitting on this panel. People don't know anything,
Speaker 1: never worked a case, never been overseas, never been in
Speaker 1: a war zone, don't know a damn thing. But Anderson
Speaker 1: Cooper and Jake Kaffer and Don Lemon are all very
Speaker 1: respectful of them because they're Democrats. Me always a target
Speaker 1: on me because I'm a Republican. Same thing with Sarah
Speaker 1: Hugaby Sanders goes on there with with bro Cuomo. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and they wonder, they wonder why the ratings are down
Speaker 1: the tubes. I mean, look, I think I wish, I mean,
Speaker 1: I I wish people would just see it for what
Speaker 1: it is and make their decisions based upon the reality.
Speaker 1: And uh. They are a they are an organization devoted
Speaker 1: to the propagation of the Russia collusion, lie and the
Speaker 1: end of the Trump presidency, and they need a full
Speaker 1: accounting and honestly, a a full reckoning with that fact
Speaker 1: before they can change. All Right, We've we've got much
Speaker 1: more common teams. Stay right there. Well, everybody, I just
Speaker 1: want to tell you that, in case you were worrying,
Speaker 1: the inclusiveness police are out in full force and they've
Speaker 1: got something. They've got a doozy for you. They've got
Speaker 1: something really exciting to tell you about. I know some
Speaker 1: of you have been very upset. I'm sure that first
Speaker 1: of all, you're like buck emojis really okay, I understand,
Speaker 1: but emojis have now become a reflection of like so
Speaker 1: many things in our culture, there is a political correctness
Speaker 1: that comes into play. When we were talking about emojis, anyway,
Speaker 1: there is an emoji that has that was a salad emoji.
Speaker 1: So Google developers, they're they're serious about this because they're
Speaker 1: really into inclusion and diversity at Google and they're making
Speaker 1: it a big priority. So the the emoji for their
Speaker 1: Android phones used to have a salad that had tomatoes
Speaker 1: and lettuce in it with an egg. And you know
Speaker 1: what they've done, folks, because they want to make sure
Speaker 1: everyone feels included in this wild and crazy world we
Speaker 1: live in. This this has gotten a bunch of attention
Speaker 1: on social media. I know, you think it's crazy they've
Speaker 1: removed the egg. Why because they don't want vegans like,
Speaker 1: kid you not. They don't want vegans to feel left
Speaker 1: out because until this point, vegans will be like, uh,
Speaker 1: do you like feel like I just went in MIODI
Speaker 1: It has like everything and like putin doesn't necessarily have
Speaker 1: to come from the animal men, Like look at that
Speaker 1: little egg, do you He was gonna be a chicken
Speaker 1: and he's like, you know, tweet tweet and like whatever.
Speaker 1: But OVID now it's just like you're just gonna eat
Speaker 1: it and like stuff. And it's still me me because
Speaker 1: it's like a chicken but not really. It's like, no,
Speaker 1: the chicken, the egg wasn't fertilized, and if it was,
Speaker 1: you probably should not be eating it. Uh. So that's
Speaker 1: what they're doing now with Google. This is what one
Speaker 1: of the most advanced telecommunications companies in the world is
Speaker 1: spending its time on. Rather astonishing when you think about it,
Speaker 1: but it is in fact what's what's going on? So
Speaker 1: you know, here we are dealing with this, and and
Speaker 1: I just feel like it's reflected. It's a reflecttiontion. It
Speaker 1: is a reflection of how much these days is politicized
Speaker 1: that even salad has now become political. Remember they had
Speaker 1: to get rid of the gun emoji and replace it
Speaker 1: We're the squirk gun because they thought that that would
Speaker 1: somehow have a role in I don't know, lowering gun
Speaker 1: gun violence or making there be less gun violence in
Speaker 1: our culture. Uh that is you know that, that's what's
Speaker 1: going on here. That's the world that we live in now, folks.
Speaker 1: I know it's crazy stuff. I wish it weren't so.
Speaker 1: But also, vegans tend I'm just putting this out. Vegans
Speaker 1: tend to be a little militant about their eating habits,
Speaker 1: you know, Like I'm Celiac, so I always have to say.
Speaker 1: We had a meeting earlier today where we're gonna you
Speaker 1: here in the new office on Sunday, going over all
Speaker 1: kinds of stuff meetings. I mean, it's because we're launching
Speaker 1: next week. It's on all hands on deck situation down
Speaker 1: here in the DC swamp. And they're saying, well, buck,
Speaker 1: me need to get you something glued for I said, no,
Speaker 1: don't worry. Just give me some protein, you know, just
Speaker 1: give me something I don't I don't need anything fancy.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm an easy going kind of guy. Just give
Speaker 1: me some animal and some veggies and we're fine. But
Speaker 1: with vegans, it's like, excuse me, man, like really like
Speaker 1: making the smoothie on the same counter tap is like
Speaker 1: that chicken salad sandwich because like you can't you know,
Speaker 1: it's like dead chicken and like that's bad for the
Speaker 1: air and stuff. I don't know whatever vegans think. You
Speaker 1: see that thing. By the way, a while ago, they're
Speaker 1: saying that the only way to save the planet is
Speaker 1: to stop eating. I'm serious about this, the only way
Speaker 1: to save the planet. This was an article I think
Speaker 1: in the Guardian over the weekend is just stop eating
Speaker 1: red meat, bacon, hamburger, and I was like, the planet's toast,
Speaker 1: the planet's toast. You know why that is, by the way,
Speaker 1: because the farming for red meat, they say is is
Speaker 1: doing so much damage to the ozone true story, cow farts,
Speaker 1: the methane from cow flatulence more damaging to the atmosphere
Speaker 1: then all the CEO two that is being belched out there,
Speaker 1: which I guess it isn't belched usually, but the cow
Speaker 1: farts that's actually a thing. So there you have a
Speaker 1: cows or cows are strongers. That's the great cow revenge
Speaker 1: after all of the milking and slaughtering for delicious, delicious,
Speaker 1: tasty burgers. That a burger today for launch. It was
Speaker 1: really great. Uh, the cows are gonna get us back
Speaker 1: by overheating the planet and killing us all with our
Speaker 1: own atmosphere. Mike, how how much sleep are you losing
Speaker 1: over this? By the way, Oh my gosh. Yeah. But
Speaker 1: but you can be happy to know the Google's removing
Speaker 1: eggs from the salad emoji because they don't want vegans
Speaker 1: to feel left out. That's how inclusive we are now.
Speaker 1: They still want Christians to bake the cake for people
Speaker 1: that they disagree with, but at least vegans won't feel
Speaker 1: left out. That that's their version of tolerance and inclusiveness.
Speaker 1: We we gotta get to uh a Samantha be faux
Speaker 1: apology coming up, and then maybe I'll get to some
Speaker 1: some good news about a pardon. We got a little
Speaker 1: audio for you on that one, and I have will
Speaker 1: do a whole bunch of role call the next hour.
Speaker 1: Our friend Inez Felture will be joining. She will be
Speaker 1: discussing education policy with us, and also equal pay, which
Speaker 1: gets people fired up. Inez is great with equal pay
Speaker 1: because he's just like not a thing, not a thing.
Speaker 1: They want to make it a thing, but what they
Speaker 1: say it is is not actually a thing. That and
Speaker 1: more coming up. Third out. I saw a line today
Speaker 1: for Starbucks. It had like fifty people in it. They
Speaker 1: were ordering mocha soy frapp Whatever's guess what. I didn't
Speaker 1: have to wait in that line. You know why. I
Speaker 1: went back to my office, grab some Black Rifle coffee,
Speaker 1: and bam, got back to spreading freedom, just like the
Speaker 1: folks that Black Rifle would want it. I know you've
Speaker 1: got a lot of coffee options, but if you're a
Speaker 1: coffee drinker like I am, you should be doing what
Speaker 1: I do. Drink Black Rifle coffee every day. Go check
Speaker 1: it out for yourself. Black Rifle Coffee dot Com, slash buck.

Speaker 1: mission to coding the news and disseminating information. Who is
Speaker 1: actionable intelligence? Make no mistake American rank, You're a great
Speaker 1: American Again. This is the Buck Sexton Show. Former CIA
Speaker 1: analysts Sexton, No, you know a lot of people were
Speaker 1: offended and angry that I used an epithet to describe
Speaker 1: the President's daughter and advisor last week. It is a
Speaker 1: word I have used on the show many times, hoping
Speaker 1: to reclaim it. This time I used it as an
Speaker 1: insult across the line. I regret it, and I do
Speaker 1: apologize for that. The problem is that many women have
Speaker 1: heard that word at the worst moments of their lives.
Speaker 1: A lot of them don't want that word reclaimed. They
Speaker 1: want it gone, and I don't blame them. I don't
Speaker 1: want to inflict more pain on them. I want this
Speaker 1: show to be challenging, and I wanted to be honest,
Speaker 1: but I never intended it to hurt anyone. Kind of
Speaker 1: an apology from Samantha be there about calling the president's
Speaker 1: daughter and senior White House advisor the C word. Notice
Speaker 1: how she she initially presents this, Oh, I was really
Speaker 1: I like to reclaim the word. Oh okay. So so
Speaker 1: she's had You know that there's a little bit of
Speaker 1: an attempt at mitigation here instead of just a full on,
Speaker 1: all out apology. And then there's also a repositioning of
Speaker 1: herself as understanding the plight of women. You know, she's
Speaker 1: like this feminist out there. You know what's a really
Speaker 1: unfeminist thing to do, Samantha by to say something despicable
Speaker 1: about a woman as accomplished, U, intelligent, beautiful. And I
Speaker 1: don't know am I allowed to say that? And people
Speaker 1: are the beauty the anti talk about beauty police gonna
Speaker 1: come after me. I don't. I don't know what's it.
Speaker 1: I don't even know what's allowed anymore. I'm not the
Speaker 1: only one. I feel like beautiful is becoming an epithet.
Speaker 1: You're not allowed to say that anymore. You, Oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: you're undermining that person's integrity by calling them beautiful. I
Speaker 1: don't know if I call a guy handsome? Is that okay?
Speaker 1: I don't know. You know, it just strikes me is
Speaker 1: we're no longer we no longer even understand what the
Speaker 1: rules are because they change every day. But it's really
Speaker 1: unfeminist to to attack a you that someone's wife, mother, daughter,
Speaker 1: and a very prominent American who I would note should
Speaker 1: be a role model for young girls. They should look
Speaker 1: up to Avanca and think, oh, here's somebody who is
Speaker 1: in a committed relationship, married, had kids after getting married.
Speaker 1: Is raising those kids? Uh? You know? Iv Anka, Yeah,
Speaker 1: she comes from her privileged background, but as I've told
Speaker 1: you before, I knew here growing up, a lot of
Speaker 1: kids from privileged backgrounds in New York City not turn
Speaker 1: out anywhere near as well as Ivanka did. She works hard, smart.
Speaker 1: I just it was so grotesque and over the line.
Speaker 1: And I have to reiterate here that with Samantha be
Speaker 1: said was in the prompter, folks. It was not a
Speaker 1: slip of the lip. It wasn't you know, caught up
Speaker 1: in a heated moment. And you know, she can't even
Speaker 1: just really she she can't just apologize. She has to
Speaker 1: frame the apology in a way that she reclaims a
Speaker 1: little bit of her standing within the feminist movement or something,
Speaker 1: or you know, she's she's looking for the feminist left
Speaker 1: to come to her aid on this, and I just
Speaker 1: find it, you know, really unseemly. You know, apologize or
Speaker 1: don't apologize, don't pretend to apologize. She keeps her show, though,
Speaker 1: you'll notice, not canceled, not off the year, and not
Speaker 1: her all of her writers, including those that probably put
Speaker 1: that line in there, the executive producer of the show
Speaker 1: who approved it, They're not. No one's going. None of
Speaker 1: them are losing their jobs. Somebody who's not even just
Speaker 1: a conservative, but somebody associated with Trump or conservatism. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: what I've gotten fired, absolutely would have lost not just
Speaker 1: that person's job, but the jobs everybody who works with them.
Speaker 1: But we have different we have different rules for liberals, says,
Speaker 1: you know, the double standard. It is bright red. It
Speaker 1: is a bright red Neon sign. The double standards that
Speaker 1: we see. It could not be any more obvious really
Speaker 1: than it is. So there you have. And then also
Speaker 1: I just want to note she does have sponsors who
Speaker 1: are sponsor sponsors who have fled her show. We'll see
Speaker 1: if if they come back we'll see now. I want
Speaker 1: to a happier note for just a moment here. Alice
Speaker 1: Maria Johnson was not pardon but had her sentence commuted.
Speaker 1: So it's an active clemency. It's not you shouldn't have
Speaker 1: been prosecuted, it's not you've got railroad, it's none of that.
Speaker 1: It's you've done well in prison, you have reformed, you
Speaker 1: deserve a second chance. That's what the President decided. And
Speaker 1: I we have just a little bit of audio here
Speaker 1: to share of Alice Maria Johnson, who President Trump. Remember,
Speaker 1: she's African American grandma in factor great grandma serve twenty
Speaker 1: plus years for a conspiracy drug trafficking charge, so must
Speaker 1: have been a large amount of drugs, no question about that. Uh.
Speaker 1: Or or a very serious drug case because she got
Speaker 1: life life in prison. Uh. You know, you tend not
Speaker 1: to get that for anything that's not an egregious violation.
Speaker 1: But she uh, she was reunited with her family. She
Speaker 1: has a second chance. And we just want to play
Speaker 1: some audio give you a kind of an uplifting moment here.
Speaker 1: Please go for it. And Alice, will you if you
Speaker 1: had a chance to talk to the president, what would
Speaker 1: you tell him? I would tell President Trump, thank you
Speaker 1: so much that I am going to be that one
Speaker 1: that is going to make you so proud, and I
Speaker 1: hope that my life will encourage him to do this
Speaker 1: for others too. She's now a symbol of serving your time,
Speaker 1: serving your time well, reforming yourself, being a model prisoner
Speaker 1: while you were serving, and now she's out. I think
Speaker 1: it's just really astonishing to watch so many liberals in
Speaker 1: the media who they can't bring themselves to be happy
Speaker 1: for this woman. Because Trump is the one that commuted
Speaker 1: her sentence. They're now picking at oh why did why
Speaker 1: didn't Obama commute her? Why? You know, they're they're asking
Speaker 1: all these questions, are saying, oh, well, this is just
Speaker 1: a one off. You know, Trump doesn't do anything for
Speaker 1: the black community that they can't even allow him this.
Speaker 1: They can't say, you know what, Trump, I might disagree
Speaker 1: with you, and this is now speaking from the liberal perspective,
Speaker 1: might disagree with you on so many different things, but
Speaker 1: on this, you made the right move. They're so hypocritical
Speaker 1: in the media and and we're all sick of it.
Speaker 1: I know you're sick of it, but we've got our
Speaker 1: friend in s Felter from the Federalists joining in just
Speaker 1: a moment, You're gonna talk to us about equal pay
Speaker 1: and the pay gap, which is a lie. Stay with me.
Speaker 1: Our sponsored this half hour is a fantastic new novel
Speaker 1: called A Newbis. The enigmatic U S President is dead.
Speaker 1: ISIS is attacking on multiple fronts, and the U. S
Speaker 1: Special Forces call on a mercenary cyber warrior to stop
Speaker 1: the crisis. This is a Nubis. An aging marine sergeant
Speaker 1: and battle warren Army major face an enemy that turns
Speaker 1: the Internet into a terrorist weapon and makes our existing
Speaker 1: concepts of security archaic. A catastrophe of biblical proportions is
Speaker 1: about to unfold. The new president is facing a ruthless,
Speaker 1: relentless caliphate, and our military and elected leaders have no
Speaker 1: means to stop it. The only real questions are when
Speaker 1: and where? This is Anubis. Today's headline show us what
Speaker 1: is happening in the Middle East. Author Eric Anderson reveals
Speaker 1: the frightening possibilities that remain. Eric Anderson is a former
Speaker 1: undercover US intelligence agent. His new novel from Done Books
Speaker 1: is a Nubis That's a and U b I s
Speaker 1: now on sale at Amazon dot Com or visit done
Speaker 1: books dot com. Okay, everybody, you may not have seen this,
Speaker 1: but there is a trend out there. In fact, it
Speaker 1: is trending today the Equal Pay Act. A lot of
Speaker 1: folks are trying to push this because it is an
Speaker 1: anniversary when it regards the Equal Pay Act, and clearly
Speaker 1: this is a top agenda item for the social justice Left.
Speaker 1: Inez Felcher is with us now. She's a senior contributor
Speaker 1: at the Federal She's gonna speak to us about the
Speaker 1: Equal Pay Act and it has great to have you.
Speaker 1: Thanks for having me, Buck. Okay, So first off, what's
Speaker 1: it's the it's some anniversary today of Equal pay right. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so the originally Equal Pay Access passed in n So
Speaker 1: this is the fifty five anniversary of the Act, and
Speaker 1: the luck is using this as an opportunity to advocate
Speaker 1: for strengthening that act. So initially this just said you
Speaker 1: can't pay men and women differently based on sex, right,
Speaker 1: pretty basic thing. In fact, all fifty states already that illegal.
Speaker 1: This was the federal law that made it illegal. Um,
Speaker 1: I think most of us agree that you shouldn't be
Speaker 1: paid differently because you're a woman. But the additional things
Speaker 1: a lot not to add on here are going to
Speaker 1: take it away beyond that? What what do they want
Speaker 1: to do? I mean, what's the you know, Equal Pay
Speaker 1: Act today? This is the the hashtag that's getting all
Speaker 1: kinds of attention. I'm assuming that this ties into uh,
Speaker 1: you know, like women in Hollywood's then it should be
Speaker 1: paid what the male co stars are and all this stuff, right,
Speaker 1: or the pay gap. This is all really about the
Speaker 1: pay gap, the mythological pig gap, that's right. So the
Speaker 1: less really likes to highlight this um average difference between
Speaker 1: women's earnings and men's earnings. So if you's add up
Speaker 1: all of men's earnings and you take the media um
Speaker 1: and then add up all of women's earnings and take
Speaker 1: that median women make quote seven seven cents from the dollar,
Speaker 1: that's not at all indicative of the fact that women
Speaker 1: are paid differently just for being women. In fact, it's
Speaker 1: indicative of different choices that really make than men, in
Speaker 1: terms of occupation, what they major in in college, many
Speaker 1: all hours they work per week, and how flexible those
Speaker 1: hours are, years of experience in the workforce, and all
Speaker 1: kinds of other legitimate reasons why the average woman might
Speaker 1: make less than the average man without actually discriminating against
Speaker 1: anyone who's doing the same work. You got Kirsten Gila
Speaker 1: Brand out there tweeting out the equal Backs past fifty
Speaker 1: five years ago, but the pay gaps still exists. Gender
Speaker 1: or race should never impact your paycheck. This discrimination hurts women,
Speaker 1: working families, and our economy. That's why we need to
Speaker 1: pass the Paycheck Fairness Act to ensure equal pay no
Speaker 1: matter what. A couple of things here. First of all,
Speaker 1: what the heck is the Paycheck Fairness Act? I mean,
Speaker 1: there's the Equal Pay Act past fifty five years ago,
Speaker 1: the Paycheck Fairness Act. How would that even be implemented? Yeah,
Speaker 1: so that's just the update that I was referring to
Speaker 1: that the Left wants to pass. It would shift the
Speaker 1: burden to employers to prove that any differential um between
Speaker 1: male and female employees in their workforce is not due
Speaker 1: to discrimination. Right, So it shifts the burden to the
Speaker 1: for the employer to then have to explain to the government, Oh,
Speaker 1: this is why I pay Sally fifty five thousand dollars
Speaker 1: and Bob sixty five thousand dollars. Right that that's an
Speaker 1: enormous burden for businesses. When in fact, there's no evidence
Speaker 1: that there's any kind of widespread discrimination based on sex.
Speaker 1: And I mentioned earlier, these average differences in pay actually
Speaker 1: has been uh. The the explanation that I might be
Speaker 1: due to discrimination has been widely debunked, even by ACT
Speaker 1: demic and and feminist organizations. When you take into account
Speaker 1: all of these other factors like occupation, major work hours,
Speaker 1: you know, experience, all of those things. Uh, that the
Speaker 1: gap shrinks to something that's just a few percentage points
Speaker 1: and we don't really know why that is. But there's
Speaker 1: no real evidence to suggest that it's discriminates on any
Speaker 1: kind of wider skill. I just want to know problem.
Speaker 1: I just want to know if, if in fact, the
Speaker 1: pay gap is real. And for anybody listening, if you
Speaker 1: want to see one of the most amazing YouTube interviews
Speaker 1: in recent memory, go check out the Jordan's Peterson interview
Speaker 1: with a BBC journalist I forget her name over the
Speaker 1: pay gap because I can't do it justice except to
Speaker 1: say you have to just watch it and listen to
Speaker 1: She just keeps saying, well, you know the pay gap
Speaker 1: is real. Are you saying it's not real? It's real?
Speaker 1: You say it's not real. It's like a religious belief
Speaker 1: for some people. Uh. If it were the case, though
Speaker 1: it is. I just feel like any intelligent capitalist running
Speaker 1: a company would say, well, my single biggest cost in
Speaker 1: my business, and and for most businesses is in fact
Speaker 1: human capital. It's the people, it's your it's your payroll costs.
Speaker 1: So if you could save close by just having a
Speaker 1: company full of women, when you just do that, you
Speaker 1: can think of the think of the edge you'd have
Speaker 1: on your competitors. Absolutely, the left is all about greedy capitalists, right,
Speaker 1: um And And if in fact this were true, of
Speaker 1: course there would be at the very least there would
Speaker 1: be some bright female entrepreneurs who would start businesses and
Speaker 1: hire an all female workforce and massively um and be
Speaker 1: able to tap on that that savings to the consumer
Speaker 1: and dominate the competition. But in fact, there's there's very
Speaker 1: little evidence of this, that this gap exists a digit
Speaker 1: discrimination and actually, um it was It's very interesting uh
Speaker 1: factor that came up in this debate just a few
Speaker 1: months ago because it was published that Uber actually has
Speaker 1: a sex wage gap between male and female drivers. Um.
Speaker 1: That is particularly interesting because super plays by formula, there
Speaker 1: is no subjective decision making and no one to discriminate.
Speaker 1: It is a pure formula. And even by paying by formula,
Speaker 1: male and female drivers made different and that generated a
Speaker 1: pay gap. Uh so, really it's trying to put this
Speaker 1: mister rest now. I want to get you really fired up.
Speaker 1: We're speaking to in as filter everybody. She's seen your
Speaker 1: contribute to the Federalist that does a lot of great
Speaker 1: writing and research on all these things. There's another hashtag
Speaker 1: out there, rethink school. What's this all about? Because I
Speaker 1: know you're you're a school reform expert. I'm actually I'm
Speaker 1: not familiar with the hashtag. So I'm not sure what
Speaker 1: that's about. Well, it's about it's the U S Department
Speaker 1: of Education put out Swiss students who are enrolled in
Speaker 1: pre vocational or vocational programs are enrolled in joint vocational
Speaker 1: programs which combined both school and work elements, essentially vocational training.
Speaker 1: What say you about vocational training? Yeah, the hashtag is
Speaker 1: kind of irrelevant, but it's just how people are talking
Speaker 1: about it today. What do you think about vocational training
Speaker 1: in our system? Absolutely so, um, as you mentioned, we
Speaker 1: actually are have a lot to look to in Europe
Speaker 1: on vocational training. The German system the Swiss system, Uh,
Speaker 1: they are both way more flexible than our system. And
Speaker 1: one particular element of the German system I think is
Speaker 1: really important and we should look at duplicating here, is
Speaker 1: to have a lot of different on and off ramps
Speaker 1: for different kinds of credentials. Right. So the way that
Speaker 1: we do it's here, UM, you go to high school.
Speaker 1: If you graduate, you either you're looking at um, just
Speaker 1: taking a job with a high school degree, you're looking
Speaker 1: at going to a four year college, or maybe you're
Speaker 1: looking at going to a two year associate's degree UM
Speaker 1: or some kind of certification. So those are very exclusive paths,
Speaker 1: and once you get on one of those paths, it
Speaker 1: can be very hard to start over, right. Whereas the
Speaker 1: way that Germany does it, it's more like accable credential.
Speaker 1: So at around the age of fifteen or sixteen, German
Speaker 1: kids laying into you know, various vocational tracks and including
Speaker 1: an academic one that we would would compare to our
Speaker 1: four year university. But the differences that they can jump
Speaker 1: in and out of those tracks at any point, so
Speaker 1: they sat credentials that take a year or two years
Speaker 1: to build, and then you can go on and do
Speaker 1: an academic career if you want to, after you've done
Speaker 1: your vocational track. And so let's just provides a lot
Speaker 1: more flexibility for people rather than having this this idea
Speaker 1: that everybody has to go to a four year university
Speaker 1: or you're not going to be successful. We've seen that
Speaker 1: that's not true. And in the process, we've overloaded an
Speaker 1: entire generation that we've told you have to go to college.
Speaker 1: You have to go to college, or you're not going
Speaker 1: to be successful. We've overloaded them with an enormous amount
Speaker 1: of debt, and it turns out their degrees are not
Speaker 1: actually worth that much at the end of the day.
Speaker 1: How is this administration doing, as from from a conservatives perspective,
Speaker 1: in a how's this administration doing on school choice, on
Speaker 1: on some of the you know, people used to talk
Speaker 1: a lot about Bobby Jindall before that response to the
Speaker 1: State of Union address, you know, but how he's done
Speaker 1: good things in Louisiana for schools and on the conservative
Speaker 1: alternative in the realm of schools across the board. How
Speaker 1: are we doing here? Is Betsy de Voss making some headway?
Speaker 1: I mean going into the mid terms? Is there a
Speaker 1: story to tell the American people about, Hey, conservatives have
Speaker 1: better answers on this than the other guys or Republicans
Speaker 1: in this case. Yeah, I mean, I definitely think that
Speaker 1: conservatives have better answered to fix a monopolistic school system
Speaker 1: that's really not working for everyone. Um and in fact,
Speaker 1: it's working for very few students and parents. Uh. But
Speaker 1: I mean, this is really not a story about Betsy Divoss,
Speaker 1: because Betsy Devosti, even though she's a really strong champion
Speaker 1: of school choice, Bete the boss is the Secretary of Education.
Speaker 1: At the end of the day, the FEDS only put
Speaker 1: in ten of the money her per pupils for education
Speaker 1: in this country, it still is local and state funds,
Speaker 1: and so the states really control education in this country.
Speaker 1: And that's the way it ought to be. That's the
Speaker 1: way that our constitutions designed the system. Uh. So that's
Speaker 1: what the loss is a good advocate and a voice
Speaker 1: that really this is something we ought to be putting
Speaker 1: pressure as conservatives on our state representatives are local representatives
Speaker 1: to go ahead and grant educational freedom in a more
Speaker 1: broad way. The schools choice programs that are currently inactive
Speaker 1: are actually really small and targeted, right, so they create
Speaker 1: a lot of noise and their teachers, whom is very,
Speaker 1: very angry because they're easily angered. But in the at
Speaker 1: the end of the they usually only small percentage of kids,
Speaker 1: about four to five percent in the states that have
Speaker 1: the largest programs, And really it's educational choice should be
Speaker 1: for everyone. Conservatives shouldn't be ashamed of or or kind
Speaker 1: of shooting ourselves in the foot before we even get
Speaker 1: it to the negotiating table. We should be opening with
Speaker 1: the position that school choices for everyone. The kid doesn't
Speaker 1: fit in a high performing suburban school and prefers to
Speaker 1: go to, for example, a parochial school down the street,
Speaker 1: then then we should support that kid and that family
Speaker 1: in the choice of fuss for him or her in
Speaker 1: as felt for everybody's senior contributor at the Federalists go
Speaker 1: to the Federalist dot com for her latest and has
Speaker 1: always great to have you. Almost talk to you soon,
Speaker 1: Thanks so much, alright, seem when we come back, roll
Speaker 1: call is upon us. Stay with me. He's back with
Speaker 1: you now, because when it comes to the fight for truth,
Speaker 1: the fuck never stops. Ain't no party like a Team
Speaker 1: Buck party, because a Team Buck party don't stop. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we got Bucks turned up to eleven. It's time for
Speaker 1: roll call. Yeah, it is what happened too. I know
Speaker 1: that was a horn section, but what happened to the saxophone?
Speaker 1: The saxophone was a thing. You know, you used to
Speaker 1: listen to Sacks music. Sometimes you'd hear places people start
Speaker 1: making jokes about Kenny g and the Sacks and the clarinet. No,
Speaker 1: for real, you used to walk around the streets and
Speaker 1: you would hear people just ripping out some tunes on
Speaker 1: the Sacks. And you just don't get that anymore. Right,
Speaker 1: I don't know what happened. It fell out of favor.
Speaker 1: I'm just thinking about that right now. Remember in the Simpsons,
Speaker 1: that guy that like teaches Lisa the Sacks. It was
Speaker 1: the thing first up here, roll call. And if you
Speaker 1: want to be a part of roll Call, it's a
Speaker 1: great process. It's a straightforward process. You just go to
Speaker 1: face book dot com, slash buck Sexton, save you all
Speaker 1: of your wonderful thoughts, and I will share them with
Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands of people across the country. Folks. That's uh,
Speaker 1: that's what we'll do here. So there you go. First
Speaker 1: up Andy, he writes schill Tie great show as usual.
Speaker 1: Two quick comments. First, have you ever considered that your
Speaker 1: advice for being read on roll call is the same
Speaker 1: as your advice for cooking eggs more butter less heat?
Speaker 1: Very clever, Andy, I had not thought of that before. Second,
Speaker 1: I just listened to last Friday's podcast. Before you write
Speaker 1: off acapella music, you really need to listen to the
Speaker 1: group straight no chaser, mm hmm oh. Pentatonics, by the way,
Speaker 1: was the name of the group before that. I was
Speaker 1: trying to think of that. People are always like, have
Speaker 1: you listened to Pentatonics before? Because they're amazing. Bump bump bump, bump,
Speaker 1: bump bump bump, um Billie genus, not my law over,
Speaker 1: you know, no, okay, no, it is no acapella. No,
Speaker 1: just stop step away from the acapella telling you I
Speaker 1: was subjected to so much of it in college. You know,
Speaker 1: you know a lot of like. I like the I
Speaker 1: like the way you work it bopapla ba, I like
Speaker 1: to bag it up. I like the way you work it.
Speaker 1: No dignity. I mean it's like, no, no, do not
Speaker 1: do that song acapella or or or ever. Man, all right,

Speaker 1: lamentations on the lack of good gluten free cheese steaks,
Speaker 1: my voices back to day, as you can tell after
Speaker 1: having a cold for days. Very nice. My friend Jay
Speaker 1: Green owns a shop and has a separate gluten free kitchen.
Speaker 1: It's in suburban Philadelphia. People come from states away for
Speaker 1: it and it is highly recommended and reviewed. I eat

Speaker 1: good too, Your Bil Clinton? Thank you, sir. Your Hillary
Speaker 1: one greats. You know, people are very like polarized on
Speaker 1: Hillary because it doesn't sound like her, but they like
Speaker 1: that I capture the essence of Hillary with it. That's
Speaker 1: really what it comes down to. Your big cis was excellent.
Speaker 1: She misses you, John, that's right. How many of you
Speaker 1: remember Jen at the Politano back in the day. Hey, everybody,
Speaker 1: you know, I just want to tell you that d

Speaker 1: path here. I like the is it your Chuck Grassley
Speaker 1: where you mumble Who's who's the guy? Oh gurgling with Gurgan? Gurgan?
Speaker 1: That's good. Yeah, like that one because I swear I
Speaker 1: could do the voice over for him on CNN and
Speaker 1: nobody would know the difference. And because that's the only
Speaker 1: impression you do where you do it, and he's a
Speaker 1: face immediately pops into my head like I just see him.
Speaker 1: I see him that sour puss face on CNN doing that.
Speaker 1: That's exactly what he sounds. And just just for fun
Speaker 1: for maybe like Friday, can we do a a like
Speaker 1: montage of some Gurgan talking about previous administrations and stuff
Speaker 1: and just so people can hear. Of course it sounds like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's not gonna sound the safe because he always has,
Speaker 1: even for Nixon rescursion. Uh yeah, yeah sure, dude. Jake Harney,
Speaker 1: old times sake Smarmie Smurf, I don't even remember what
Speaker 1: it was. I don't know what John. That's John's kicking
Speaker 1: an old school here. For the original Saturday Squad, we

Speaker 1: and we started calling him just smarmye smurf, and I don't.
Speaker 1: I can't even John, your man. I feel old. I
Speaker 1: can't even remember smart you know what. I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: back and listen. I think it's like Jake, like he's
Speaker 1: kind of like down there, but I don't really remember.
Speaker 1: I gotta get back and get into that. But thank
Speaker 1: you John for breaking me down memory lane. I don't.
Speaker 1: That's a good one. And big sis man. I want
Speaker 1: her to get an administration job just so I can
Speaker 1: do a whole segments like, Hey, so the t s
Speaker 1: A needs you to turn around and cough all right,
Speaker 1: don't fight it like I just need people to just
Speaker 1: saying all right, David up next? Oh whoa? David wrote
Speaker 1: a very long note here. Hey buck Dave from Highlands,
Speaker 1: New Jersey enjoyed our on air chat a few weeks back.
Speaker 1: My roll call note, there's a still a deafening promo
Speaker 1: in your rotation. It is he's holding the line for
Speaker 1: America often I'm not fast enough to die my volume down.
Speaker 1: Uh promo blah blah, too loud audio engineer. Okay, millions
Speaker 1: of buck ears will thank you, John. Are we doing
Speaker 1: a promo that's way too loud. That's the one that
Speaker 1: comes out of the break everything he's everything's compressed to
Speaker 1: the same level. So it's the way it was originally produced.
Speaker 1: You know what I'll do, I'll bring it down just
Speaker 1: for him a little bit more. Yeah, bring it that
Speaker 1: a little And by the way, I note that I
Speaker 1: gave myself yesterday on some of our re intros where
Speaker 1: it's it's like the ones where we're doing uh you know,
Speaker 1: he's holding on. We gotta get new new bed music
Speaker 1: in those. So that's a note to self. We've been
Speaker 1: running those for a long time. Our new show in
Speaker 1: true kicks show intro kicks. But but our bed music
Speaker 1: is kind of like I don't even know where it
Speaker 1: came from. I think it was just we inherited it
Speaker 1: from the previous iteration of the show. So we gotta
Speaker 1: get that going, you know what, John can can we
Speaker 1: roll into a just a breath a breather here and
Speaker 1: come back and the shot roll call on the other side.
Speaker 1: Let's do that, alright, team, stay right here, because I
Speaker 1: want to get into your thoughts and less of mine.
Speaker 1: Uh so just give me a minute, we'll be right back,
Speaker 1: all right. The roll call continues here in the Freedom
Speaker 1: of Oh but let me quick note. I know I
Speaker 1: said freedom of podcast this week, It's gonna be next week, folks.
Speaker 1: We just had a couple of technical things and the
Speaker 1: the official announcement for my project here in the Swamp
Speaker 1: comes out Monday. It's in motion going on Monday, so
Speaker 1: I can tell you all about it Monday. A lot
Speaker 1: of fun to discuss that, uh. But also next week
Speaker 1: will be when we can get the first the first
Speaker 1: podcast out for the freedom hut. So I'm sorry that
Speaker 1: we haven't. You know, it's the buck is taken on
Speaker 1: a lot. But enough enough of the me. Let's get
Speaker 1: to your thoughts here about the show, about the country,
Speaker 1: about the world. That sounded a little grandiose, but let's
Speaker 1: just roll with it. Alan, Alan writes Buck, I love
Speaker 1: the show so many times I laugh out loud or
Speaker 1: want to send you a message about a topic, but
Speaker 1: forget later. I was listening to your June six podcast
Speaker 1: and at the end other fan mentioned how it was
Speaker 1: the anniversary of D Day. Now you and I are
Speaker 1: probably the same age and can and watch all the
Speaker 1: great documentaries and the History Channel about World War Two.
Speaker 1: When I turned it on last night to see if
Speaker 1: they had any because it was June six, they had
Speaker 1: freaking Palm Stars on and for the next couple of
Speaker 1: hours it's followed by American Pickers or some other show
Speaker 1: that no one would learn that much history about. There
Speaker 1: could have been something on earlier, but you would think
Speaker 1: that they could dedicate a whole day to it. Again,
Speaker 1: love the show and keep up the good work. You're
Speaker 1: my fellow zennial A MF and Shields High. Well Alan,
Speaker 1: great to hear from you, Mann. Thank you for the
Speaker 1: for the awesome note. And look, I've been bemoaning this
Speaker 1: for a while. I've been trying to get into UM.
Speaker 1: You know, I've been trying very hard to uh find
Speaker 1: a way to bring back more of the history that
Speaker 1: we've lost from history Channel's wived on this podcast. The
Speaker 1: Siege of Malta is gonna be the next Shields High.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get to it. I just when when you
Speaker 1: guys fear here, what's going on on Monday. I'm part
Speaker 1: of launching a whole new network. Okay, so that's what
Speaker 1: I've been doing. We are launching a whole new network.
Speaker 1: Not for radio UM, but yeah, so that's gonna be
Speaker 1: announced all, it'll be in the the media on Monday.
Speaker 1: So that's why I swear I'm not dilly dallying as
Speaker 1: much as I wish I was just cooking lots of
Speaker 1: delicious food and and actually getting to the gym to
Speaker 1: fight the dad bodi is um. Although somebody pointed out
Speaker 1: to me this week, dad bob means you're cuddly. It
Speaker 1: means you like to just kind of chill. You know.
Speaker 1: You know some guy who I remember, I think it
Speaker 1: was a Navy seal a long time ago, told me
Speaker 1: that he doesn't really trust any guy over thirty with
Speaker 1: a six pack, you know. I mean, I'm just saying,
Speaker 1: you know, you're like a little beer, You're like a
Speaker 1: little brie. You're probably not gonna have a six pack.
Speaker 1: But alan Um, World War two, I agree with you.
Speaker 1: Not nearly enough attention paid a D Day yesterday in
Speaker 1: the media, And uh yeah, you're you're correct, sir um.
Speaker 1: What else is up here? Uh? What else is up here?
Speaker 1: We have Jack who writes the following Buck. Sorry, have
Speaker 1: to disagree with you vehemently on your With your take
Speaker 1: on the Alice Johnson clemency issue, you seem to be
Speaker 1: falling into the left trap by using the frame first
Speaker 1: time offender and non violent drug criminal. It appears very
Speaker 1: clear she was convicted under the federal drug kingpin statute.
Speaker 1: She was a leader of a narcotics importation distribution network
Speaker 1: very different from normal drug distribution. I was involved as
Speaker 1: a county squat team member and medic in several cases
Speaker 1: where the Feds took the offenders under the kingpin statute.
Speaker 1: Some were older grandmothers and grandfathers, but they were so
Speaker 1: far from deserving mercy it is unreal. One got to
Speaker 1: the scene of a car crash that her son was
Speaker 1: in prior to police and remove the drugs that he
Speaker 1: had transported from New York. She had no concern about
Speaker 1: his and his passengers injuries, but fled with the drugs
Speaker 1: so they would not be lost. The damage that is
Speaker 1: done on behalf of the kingpins violent crimes, including murder
Speaker 1: and maiming should never be forgotten. The Kingpins are never
Speaker 1: close enough to the violence to be convicted of those
Speaker 1: specific offenses, but the evidence most likely was presented in
Speaker 1: court for their cases about the violent crimes they suborned.
Speaker 1: Children in the communities that these maggots infect are locked
Speaker 1: inside and unable to play. They live in fear. It
Speaker 1: is like getting the lawyers who protect the drug distribution networks.
Speaker 1: The evidence that presented in support of the ongoing criminal
Speaker 1: enterprise like RICO is what you should look into and
Speaker 1: reveal to those who are falling for the non violent
Speaker 1: first time offender crowd. Many home invasion armed robberies are
Speaker 1: pled to grand larceny from a person non violent felony
Speaker 1: in order to get the conviction because the victims are
Speaker 1: less than reputable, despite the fact that the crime did
Speaker 1: occur and was quite violent. I absolutely respect your opinion,
Speaker 1: but I ask you to give this some thought and
Speaker 1: maybe see if someone involved in the case might speak
Speaker 1: out about it. Twenty two year might not be might
Speaker 1: be enough punishment, but she has not served her time.
Speaker 1: The judge jury decided she owed much more likely because
Speaker 1: of the damage that she was responsible for. And the
Speaker 1: president can certainly do what he did. But it doesn't
Speaker 1: make Johnson a victim of the system because she is
Speaker 1: a black grandmother, great grandmother from Jack, a former SWAT.
Speaker 1: Remember you will notice I read the entirety of that
Speaker 1: message because I thought it was important, insightful and well written.
Speaker 1: Uh and I I accept Jack's notion that I might
Speaker 1: have given more credit to this woman's, uh, this woman's
Speaker 1: case than I should have. I I like it, by
Speaker 1: the way, when people tell me that they think that
Speaker 1: I'm wrong, when they do it in the way that
Speaker 1: Jack does, when they present me with this is why
Speaker 1: I think you're wrong, And I really like to engage
Speaker 1: with those arguments. Jack, let me say this. Look, I
Speaker 1: understand a lot of times prosecutors will take a lesser
Speaker 1: they'll they'll have a lesser charge on the table for
Speaker 1: somebody as part of the plea bargain, and oftentimes possess
Speaker 1: shan conspiracy. Those are charges that are used in place
Speaker 1: of what would be more scary sounding charges, but that
Speaker 1: might be harder to prove. And the idea is, well,
Speaker 1: if they've got you on a certain degree of drug possession,
Speaker 1: they might not get you on attempted murder, right, but
Speaker 1: if you go away for twenty years on the drug
Speaker 1: possession charge, if it's enough weight, they may just give
Speaker 1: you that right instead of, well, I took a shot
Speaker 1: at a at another dealer and they're not gonna necessarily
Speaker 1: go for the attempted murder charge. Or you know you're
Speaker 1: part of a criminal conspiracy with violence as as a
Speaker 1: part of it. So that's I think something to keep
Speaker 1: in mind here, uh, And I'm I appreciate you bringing
Speaker 1: it up, but but there's also the notion of clemency
Speaker 1: for prison cases. Uh, is not just about whether or not.
Speaker 1: It's not just about what the person did before they
Speaker 1: went in. It's what they do while they're in. It's
Speaker 1: the notion of rehabilitation and a second chance. And by
Speaker 1: all accounts, Alice Johnson's time and reason was exemplary. She
Speaker 1: served twenty years and she wasn't in there for for murder,
Speaker 1: for treason, or for a crime that would have the
Speaker 1: death penalty attached to it. So I think that you
Speaker 1: look at a judgment call, I appreciate your perspective, but
Speaker 1: I will say that this is worth me looking into
Speaker 1: some more. And I will because I find your your
Speaker 1: argument and your perspective on this to be compelling. So
Speaker 1: thank you, Jack, and also thank you for keeping the
Speaker 1: streets safe for all of the rest of us. I'm
Speaker 1: glad we got into some of that royal call today.
Speaker 1: We're obviously gonna do a whole lot more coming up
Speaker 1: tomorrow to be a freestyle Friday I'm gonna be still
Speaker 1: in the swamp tomorrow, by the way, so I'll be
Speaker 1: down here taking your calls, hanging out. Looking forward to
Speaker 1: it much to discuss huge news week coming up, so
Speaker 1: Tomoral will try to have some fun too. I don't
Speaker 1: want us to get too intense here in the hut,
Speaker 1: but we'll have that and more so. See you next time.
