Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom hunt. Has the radical left
Speaker 1: seized control of the Democratic Party? Nancy Pelosi's inability to
Speaker 1: control the blowback or the ill han Omar comments seems
Speaker 1: to suggest yes, they have lost control. Plus, we've got
Speaker 1: more updates from the crisis that is getting worse at
Speaker 1: the border end. We are on sentencing watch for Paul Maniford.
Speaker 1: Will we know how long he has to go away?
Speaker 1: And why is the country not seeing why the Democrats
Speaker 1: are acting crazy on this? We've got that. I'm more
Speaker 1: coming up on the Buck Sexton Show. Bucks Sextons decoding
Speaker 1: the news and disseminating information. Who is actionable intelligence? Mag
Speaker 1: no mistake, You're a great American again. This is the
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show. Analysts, remember of the animal. I could
Speaker 1: speak for three hours without a phone call. Try doing
Speaker 1: that sometimes it is Sexton. No. Multiple US officials with
Speaker 1: direct knowledge of the briefings telse and and IT classified
Speaker 1: documents on Russian interference in the twenty sixteen US election,
Speaker 1: presented last week the President Obama and the President elect
Speaker 1: Trump included allegations that Russian operatives claimed to have compromising
Speaker 1: personal and financial information about mister Trump. Wrong a sort
Speaker 1: of dossier of alleged dirt that the Russians allegedly say
Speaker 1: they allegedly have on Donald Trump. Alleged dirt that they
Speaker 1: allegedly used to allegedly cultivate him is basically a Russian asset.
Speaker 1: Long you get the person's phone records. Here, they see
Speaker 1: these calls to the block number, and now there seems
Speaker 1: to be good evidence that that was probably President Trump.
Speaker 1: We begin with a new report that Paul Manaford, the
Speaker 1: President's former campaign chairman, paid secret visits multiple ones to
Speaker 1: Julian at the Ecuadorian embassy in London. President Trump directed
Speaker 1: his attorney to lie to Congress Holly. After two years
Speaker 1: and interviewing more than two hundred witnesses, the Senate Intelligence
Speaker 1: Committee has not uncovered any direct evidence of a conspiracy
Speaker 1: between the Trump campaign and Russia. Welcome to the buck, Sexis.
Speaker 1: Everybody just want to remind you how much the media
Speaker 1: gets it wrong. On the other side, how many of
Speaker 1: those if we had to do here on this show
Speaker 1: where I say, oh, yeah, you know that crazy story
Speaker 1: that I told you about that was amazing and you
Speaker 1: all wanted to hear it, turns out I totally made
Speaker 1: it up, or I was totally wrong. My source, you know,
Speaker 1: just had no idea what he was talking about. I
Speaker 1: think that's never happened on the show. And yet how
Speaker 1: many times has the lib media gotten it so so
Speaker 1: wrong on Russia collusion. Oh my, but they have no
Speaker 1: self awareness. They do not care how often they are
Speaker 1: wrong because they are activists, my friends, they are not journalists.
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Buck, Sex and Shore again. Great to
Speaker 1: have you here. I'll be up in New York tomorrow,
Speaker 1: so that'll be kind of fun. So what'll we do
Speaker 1: in the show from the Freedom Hunt NYC. Today, I'm
Speaker 1: deep in the swamp though. We've been on Manafort Watch here.
Speaker 1: Everybody all on the edge of their seat to find
Speaker 1: out whether a seven year old man is going to
Speaker 1: go to prison for a few decades for underpaying his
Speaker 1: taxes and lying about it, all this other stuff. Russia, Russia. No, No,
Speaker 1: has nothing. None of his charges have anything to do
Speaker 1: with Russia collusion, with the election. Nothing. He's just getting
Speaker 1: crushed by the federal bureaucracy because he had the bad sense,
Speaker 1: I guess, to work with President Trump and to lie
Speaker 1: to the government and break some laws, which is a
Speaker 1: bad thing. We'll talk more later this hour about the
Speaker 1: obvious glee with which many on the left, many Democrats,
Speaker 1: are awaiting Paul Maniforts sentencing. And you have to say
Speaker 1: to yourself, why would anyone celebrate this. I mean, he's
Speaker 1: a he's a a senior citizen who is now going
Speaker 1: to die in a cell because he didn't pay enough taxes.
Speaker 1: I'm sure he paid a lot of taxes, but he
Speaker 1: didn't pay enough taxes, and he's lied about it to
Speaker 1: the government. All the others of wire fraud, bank fraud,
Speaker 1: that's just all the process of trying to hide the funds.
Speaker 1: So don't don't let them. You know, the federal federal counts,
Speaker 1: they always throw all this stuff, you know, illegal usage
Speaker 1: of a pen in the commission of the irs, defrauding
Speaker 1: and all this sort of stuff. So yeah, there you
Speaker 1: have it. I have to say, I am I'm annoyed
Speaker 1: at what's going on there. But we don't yet have
Speaker 1: the We don't yet have the answer as to whether
Speaker 1: or not it will be a particularly harsh sentence in
Speaker 1: the guidelines. We'll have to see. It might not be
Speaker 1: till tomorrow. Mike will be watching that for us. So
Speaker 1: then that brings me to you what happened this week,
Speaker 1: this big story of anti Semitism and ilhan Omar and
Speaker 1: what it tells us, because I don't we already know
Speaker 1: this right, ilhan Omar's an anti semit and the Democrats
Speaker 1: have no standards when it comes to policing their own.
Speaker 1: But it tells us something interesting about the Democrat party
Speaker 1: that we have to deal with now, the Democrat Party
Speaker 1: that's on the other side of the political table. I mean, here,
Speaker 1: here's Pelosi making some excuses Play thirteen. It's up to
Speaker 1: her to explain. But I do not believe that she
Speaker 1: understood the full weight of the words. When you cross
Speaker 1: that threshold into Congress, your words weigh much more than
Speaker 1: when you're shouting somebody outside. And I feel confident that
Speaker 1: her words were not based on any anti Semitic attitude,
Speaker 1: but that she didn't have a full appreciation of how
Speaker 1: they landed on other people, where these words have a
Speaker 1: history and a cultural impact that might have been unknown
Speaker 1: to AH. So this is Pelosi's version of she's sorry
Speaker 1: if maybe some people were offended by her words. That's
Speaker 1: not the same though, as she's sorry, that's trying to
Speaker 1: find some lesser way of sort of apologizing. You know,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry if some people were offended by what I said.
Speaker 1: That's not I'm sorry for what I said. It's wrong.
Speaker 1: And Pelosi now stepping ahead of oh more, they're supposed
Speaker 1: to be this resolution that they're going to condemn bigotry,
Speaker 1: and it was supposed to be anti semitism. First of all,
Speaker 1: this whole congressional resolution thing is is a joke. What
Speaker 1: does this even mean? Who cares? I mean, it's meaningless.
Speaker 1: It's no debt here. People that make a big deal
Speaker 1: of this. It's meaningless because they're gonna water this down
Speaker 1: into nothing. They're saying that it's now anti semitism, Islamophobia, racism, sexism,
Speaker 1: all isms, you know, all isms matter, is what they're saying.
Speaker 1: You will recall back when Black Lives Matter was a
Speaker 1: major movement, if you said all lives matter or the
Speaker 1: left got very upset about that and said that you
Speaker 1: are delegitimizing the pain of this specific group within and
Speaker 1: the movement around it by bringing up other people. And
Speaker 1: I just think it's interesting that whether you agree with
Speaker 1: that excuse or not, and I don't for a whole
Speaker 1: bunch of reasons, but you know, or rather that assessment
Speaker 1: of a non excuse. That's what they're doing. Now. That's
Speaker 1: where the Democrats are. So they're saying, well, maybe elan
Speaker 1: Omar's an anti Semite, but there's a lot of bad
Speaker 1: stuff out there, so let's just all go on the
Speaker 1: record we're against bad stuff. Thanks Democrats. So Brave reminds
Speaker 1: me of you know, Bobby Newport, who's the really bad
Speaker 1: candidate and Parks and I req, great show. You started
Speaker 1: season two, don't watch season one, started season two. You'll
Speaker 1: thank me later and watch it through. Ron Swanson's one
Speaker 1: of the best characters on TV of all time. But
Speaker 1: Bobby Newport at some point says something like, you know,
Speaker 1: you know, I you know, I love people and I
Speaker 1: love the people in this town, and I'm not afraid
Speaker 1: to say it. You know. It's like, yeah, you go,
Speaker 1: you brave man. You And then you got the other
Speaker 1: side of this, where you got Debbie Dingle, for example,
Speaker 1: who's just saying that this is a Republicans Pound situation.
Speaker 1: Play fourteen. I don't think it took that long to
Speaker 1: reach unity. There was a lot of discussion and a
Speaker 1: lot of members of this caucus had very strong feelings
Speaker 1: about what they're seeing you have to realize that sometimes
Speaker 1: the other party, and I have a great deal of
Speaker 1: respect for them, is trying to do gotcha moments. I
Speaker 1: don't think you play gotcha moments with fear and hatred
Speaker 1: and bigotry. I think we find a way to remember
Speaker 1: that we're not Republicans or Democrats, that we're Americans, and
Speaker 1: we stand up against hatred against anybody. So they're trying
Speaker 1: to do Some people, not all of them, were trying
Speaker 1: to do a gotcha moment, a gotcha moment. Republicans pounce.
Speaker 1: Here's what's really happened this week. Pelosi lost control of
Speaker 1: the party. The left now that the hard left, the
Speaker 1: real left, the socialist left, runs the Democratic Party. And
Speaker 1: we're going to talk more about this in just a moment.
Speaker 1: Stay with me. I do have a great fear that
Speaker 1: in the long run, we may not make it, and
Speaker 1: I hate to say that. And the one thing that
Speaker 1: keeps me from being despairing is, of course we don't know.
Speaker 1: There's so many things we can't possibly know, and so
Speaker 1: we may make it. But I wouldn't I wouldn't bet
Speaker 1: on it. That was doctor Thomas soul again, one of
Speaker 1: the great American minds on economics, on politics, on a
Speaker 1: whole lot of things, and someone who I wish would
Speaker 1: get more attention, and you know, I want people. This
Speaker 1: is one of my frustrations with conservatism right now, folks.
Speaker 1: I will just say it to you, I will share
Speaker 1: it with you, and I know that it's not cool
Speaker 1: and it's not going to get me a lot of
Speaker 1: retweets and follows and podcast downloads and all that stuff.
Speaker 1: But I do wish that while we fight now as conservatives,
Speaker 1: and we fight in the public square and we take
Speaker 1: the arguments to the enemy, we call them fake news
Speaker 1: when they deserve it, which they often do. I also
Speaker 1: would like conservatism to still maintain you know, reading Hyak,
Speaker 1: reading doctor Thomas Soul, reading Milton Friedman, and having an
Speaker 1: understanding and an appreciation for some of them, you know,
Speaker 1: Edmund Burke, and I mean, you know, go down the list,
Speaker 1: all of these grate philosophers, and of course the the America,
Speaker 1: the geniuses behind the American founding and you know, Jefferson.
Speaker 1: And I just wish that that was more a part
Speaker 1: of our conservative movement right now. It does feel a
Speaker 1: bit in this era, and I'm just being honestly, It
Speaker 1: feels like it's faded away. It's not in vogue right
Speaker 1: now to go back to the intellectual giants that our
Speaker 1: movement is built on, and to be familiar with their
Speaker 1: writing and with their arguments. It's just, you know, own
Speaker 1: the Libs is fine as long as you understand why
Speaker 1: you are trying to own the Libs. If that makes sense,
Speaker 1: And if you want to understand why you should own
Speaker 1: the Libs, you need to read people like doctor Thomas soul.
Speaker 1: You know, you need to be familiar with the arguments
Speaker 1: he makes about economics and how that affects politics. But
Speaker 1: I wanted to play that little sound bite for you
Speaker 1: because I've been trying to tell you this week that
Speaker 1: while we have some fun talking about the the idiots
Speaker 1: on the left right now, while we are going to
Speaker 1: indulge ourselves a little bit in mockery at their expense,
Speaker 1: as we should, and ridicule is an important political tool too.
Speaker 1: So it's not just you know Bernie stand that's the
Speaker 1: billionaires and the billionaires, you know, it's it's I'm kidding whatever,
Speaker 1: Why are you so main book? Why are you making
Speaker 1: fun of Bernie? But it also is a necessary, unnecessary
Speaker 1: thing to take away this idea that the other side
Speaker 1: is beyond mockery, which is a very powerful tool of liberals.
Speaker 1: This is why they don't make you know, they never
Speaker 1: made fun of Obama on SNL for eight years. They
Speaker 1: just didn't do it. It wasn't gonna thing that was
Speaker 1: going to happen, right, They would make Joe involving him,
Speaker 1: but they would never make fun of him. Really, and
Speaker 1: the left is very cautious about this because satire, ridicule,
Speaker 1: and mockery are are potent political weapons. But the the
Speaker 1: you know, the other part of this is that I
Speaker 1: really would like us to understand the seriousness of the
Speaker 1: threat that we face now. I would like us to
Speaker 1: know that if we don't continue to fight and make
Speaker 1: the arguments and push for what matters and what we know,
Speaker 1: then we might lose to this side. I mean, Thomas
Speaker 1: Saul is saying here, could socialism bring down America? That's
Speaker 1: the question. He's saying, I have a fear we may
Speaker 1: not make it. He said, we may, but I'm I wouldn't,
Speaker 1: but I wouldn't bet on it. That's what he says.
Speaker 1: How do we fail? We fail with a catastrophic economic
Speaker 1: collapse in a country that falls into statism and socialism.
Speaker 1: That's the way I see it. We're not gonna No
Speaker 1: one's gonna invade us. We've got too many nukes and
Speaker 1: too many Americans with rifles at home who are good shots.
Speaker 1: It's just not going to happen. Outside is not where
Speaker 1: the real threat is. Our main threat is from within.
Speaker 1: That is where we are most vulnerable, and that is
Speaker 1: where our energy and the fight for the soul in
Speaker 1: the future of this country has to lie. I have
Speaker 1: never in my lifetime, certainly, and i haven't been around
Speaker 1: that long, but I've never been able to say that
Speaker 1: I'm really concerned that socialism could win and could win soon.
Speaker 1: We are there right now the next election. Yes, right.
Speaker 1: It feels like we are in this position of strength
Speaker 1: because socialism has such a bad history and there's so
Speaker 1: much about it to despise. But that's because the economy
Speaker 1: is good right now. The country is prosperous. We're in
Speaker 1: a period of relative peace, not true peace, but relative peace.
Speaker 1: Our biggest problems are the debt that's completely spiraling out
Speaker 1: of control, a border that is a disaster, and healthcare
Speaker 1: costs that are completely you know, nuts, and the fact
Speaker 1: that we have socialists telling us the way to make
Speaker 1: this all better is to put the government in charge.
Speaker 1: Those are our biggest problems. That's that's what we have
Speaker 1: to look at right now and deal with. And the
Speaker 1: on the one hand, we have this very outspoken and
Speaker 1: effective messenger and President Trump for robust capitalism and make
Speaker 1: America great again and all this. You know, the slogans
Speaker 1: are there, the the optics and the understanding of how
Speaker 1: to connect with people. I mean, Trump does this incredibly,
Speaker 1: but we also need to all be in our own way.
Speaker 1: The ideological ground ground forces, the shock troops. For some
Speaker 1: of you listening to this show of the truth, and
Speaker 1: the truth is that socialism for this country would be disastrous.
Speaker 1: That the only places in the world where socialism works,
Speaker 1: it works in part because we exist to create a
Speaker 1: tremendous global economy and a dynamism that filters through the
Speaker 1: rest of the advanced industrialized world. And they also don't
Speaker 1: have to worry about invasion and imminent military threats because
Speaker 1: of us. So keep that in mind. Who will say, well,
Speaker 1: socialism isn't that bad in Sweden or whatever, Well, the
Speaker 1: only reason you have the Europe you do today is
Speaker 1: because of us. And Europe is continuing as it is
Speaker 1: right now, largely because it knows that America is right
Speaker 1: next door should it ever be called upon. But this
Speaker 1: is a very dangerous time we're entering. They're going to
Speaker 1: impeach this president. The left has really seized control of
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party. I do not think that as an exaggeration.
Speaker 1: I think that is where we are. I think the
Speaker 1: left is now the ideology of choice for are too
Speaker 1: many of my contemporaries and millennials. It is a little scary.
Speaker 1: They don't know what the heck they're talking about. They
Speaker 1: really believe they think they sound smart. I mean leftists
Speaker 1: in their twenties and thirties, which I'm still technically one
Speaker 1: of the people in that age bracket, although my gray
Speaker 1: hairs and my beard are getting longer every day. Leftists
Speaker 1: in their twenties and thirties, they believe it they're intelligent.
Speaker 1: When they say the world's going to end in twelve years,
Speaker 1: we have to act now on climate change, they think
Speaker 1: that sounds smart. To a normal person who has not
Speaker 1: been ideologically brainwashed, that is crazy, absolutely crazy. But this
Speaker 1: is now standard for the Democrats, and the pivot from
Speaker 1: climate change to socialism because they're really one and the same.
Speaker 1: But the messaging pivot is not a hard one to do,
Speaker 1: especially if you have a particularly bad economic period. And
Speaker 1: I you know, I talked to you on this show
Speaker 1: about how I worry that the way that Trump loses
Speaker 1: this this field of Democrats that's coming up against him
Speaker 1: right now, they're a bunch of a bunch of losers.
Speaker 1: They really are a lot of people that have been
Speaker 1: propped up by the media. I mean, it's Joe Biden
Speaker 1: thing everyone. Actually, Joe Biden is going to be the
Speaker 1: savior of the Democratic Party. Joe Biden is a mediocrity
Speaker 1: at best. At best, I don't think that any of
Speaker 1: them on their own can defeat President Trump on the
Speaker 1: stage or in terms of the their agendas and their platforms.
Speaker 1: I think the American people will still side with Trump.
Speaker 1: But there is an opportunism that is at the heart
Speaker 1: of socialism historically. And are we right now a society
Speaker 1: that is cohesive enough? Is America cohesive enough, durable enough,
Speaker 1: wise enough? Have we prepared enough that there won't be
Speaker 1: an opening for the radical left to be in charge
Speaker 1: of Remember, think of the messaging that they've already managed
Speaker 1: Democrats are calling themselves socialists, and we're still being told
Speaker 1: that it's not fair and mean if you call the
Speaker 1: Democrats socialist. The Democratic Party in America is the party
Speaker 1: of the of American democratic socialism. It's what they are.
Speaker 1: But we're still not really allowed to say that somehow.
Speaker 1: So don't overestimate I mean, sorry, don't underestimate them. That's
Speaker 1: what I'm really trying to get out of here. Don't
Speaker 1: underestimate them, don't misunderestimate them. To borrow from Bush right back,
Speaker 1: what is it they're accused of doing? These two packs
Speaker 1: Justice Democrats and brand new Congress took in over three
Speaker 1: million dollars. They then paid about a million and a
Speaker 1: half dollars to an LLC owned by Ocasio Cortez's chief
Speaker 1: of staff, this fellow Chakrabarti. Now what was done with
Speaker 1: that money, We don't know. Chakrabarti says he didn't take
Speaker 1: any salary, didn't take any profits. But then the question
Speaker 1: is what did they do with it? It looks like
Speaker 1: a shell game in which they spent the money, probably
Speaker 1: to subsidize a number of different candidate cam pains, and
Speaker 1: that would be major reporting violations and major violations of
Speaker 1: the amounts that one can spend on campaigns. So we
Speaker 1: don't know all the facts. Yet there could be an
Speaker 1: explanation that I don't know. But I've got to tell you,
Speaker 1: I've been in this business for twenty five years. I
Speaker 1: look at it. It looks like a shell game and
Speaker 1: it certainly merits a major investigation by the FEC. And
Speaker 1: yet Okazio Cortez, I'm sure, because of the leftist surge
Speaker 1: behind her right now, I'm sure she believes that she
Speaker 1: will be in a position to skate right past this,
Speaker 1: that the FEC isn't going to really dig into the
Speaker 1: finance violations possible finance violations of the most prominent young
Speaker 1: female politician period but minority politician in the United States.
Speaker 1: I bet she thinks, and not without cause, that she's
Speaker 1: pretty much above this and that there's no way that
Speaker 1: the FEC is going to bring a serious, a serious
Speaker 1: action against her, really look into her, because she's just
Speaker 1: too important to the left and the outcry against the
Speaker 1: FEC would be too high. Now keep in mind that
Speaker 1: we've been told now as the Russia collusion insanity is
Speaker 1: hopefully now coming to an end with the Muller probe.
Speaker 1: It's not coming to an end overall, but the Muller
Speaker 1: probe is at least going to be ending. We've been
Speaker 1: told that the real way they're going to get Donald Trump,
Speaker 1: I mean, the way that Donald Trump is finally gonna
Speaker 1: get his just desserts, according to the left, is because
Speaker 1: of an FEC violation. Because he didn't he didn't publicly
Speaker 1: declare as a campaign expenditure the hush money paid to
Speaker 1: the porn star. We're supposed to think that that's an
Speaker 1: impeachable The Democrats are gonna are gonna do this. I mean,
Speaker 1: they're going to impeach us president, just mark my words.
Speaker 1: They're going to impeach him. That's gonna happen. And this
Speaker 1: is going to be a primary thing in their articles
Speaker 1: of impeachment, this lack of transparency on a campaign finance violation.
Speaker 1: But notice how that it's enough. And I don't think
Speaker 1: that's they're correctly interpreting the statute. I would not. I
Speaker 1: think they're wrong because it's a personal expenditure. It's not
Speaker 1: a purely campaign expenditure. And if it's a personal expenditure,
Speaker 1: then guess what you do not have to list it?
Speaker 1: He couldn't pay it campaign money with it, that wouldn't
Speaker 1: be right. But he didn't do that. He paid personal money,
Speaker 1: but he didn't report it. But he just shouldn't have
Speaker 1: to report it, because not wanting your wife and kids
Speaker 1: to find out about an allegation of this, whether you
Speaker 1: think it's true or not, is a personal expenditure, folks.
Speaker 1: But the FEC, you see, it's a bureaucracy, and the
Speaker 1: Left weaponizes bureaucracies like the FEC. We don't get to
Speaker 1: do that on our side. Only you'll notice this is
Speaker 1: a one way street. Republicans get crushed by the FEC.
Speaker 1: But it's laughable to everybody else. It doesn't matter to
Speaker 1: everybody else. And that's why Okazi Cortez is, she's this
Speaker 1: is I'm not going to tell you this is gonna
Speaker 1: haunt her or be a problem for her, because she'll
Speaker 1: manage to still manage to get right past this. There's
Speaker 1: going to be very little interest in holding her to account.
Speaker 1: And this is what you're going to see with the Left.
Speaker 1: And I just want to note that she's a big
Speaker 1: fraud about dark money, because this is dark money. She's
Speaker 1: moving money around, lots of it for a congressional seat.
Speaker 1: It's a lot of money for congressional seat, and making
Speaker 1: sure that people couldn't know who's funding her, what's doing
Speaker 1: you know, what's this was all hiding stuff. This is
Speaker 1: you have to remember this. Many of you know this.
Speaker 1: Some of you know. It's probably a lot better than
Speaker 1: me because you come from some of these countries. But
Speaker 1: you have to remember that the Left, for all of
Speaker 1: their talk, for all the things that they promise that
Speaker 1: would be kind of a good thing, even with all
Speaker 1: the bad stuff they're doing. But you know their talk
Speaker 1: of getting dark money out of politics, you know, radical transparency,
Speaker 1: you know, eliminating corruption, that's all lip service. They just
Speaker 1: wanted to eliminate that for the other side, and by
Speaker 1: that I mean used those phrases as a weapon against
Speaker 1: their political opponents. They will always indulge in a double standard.
Speaker 1: The Left will always, under the ideology of moral relativism,
Speaker 1: feel like they're allowed to break the law because they're
Speaker 1: the good people. You can't break the laws. Though he
Speaker 1: seemed to be perfectly happy doing whatever he was doing
Speaker 1: until the FBI occupied his office and he was facially
Speaker 1: going to jail, suddenly had a conversion experience. Caused I
Speaker 1: think by the FBI, and what he said last week
Speaker 1: was a lie. I have no idea between last week
Speaker 1: and this week which are the real truth. But he
Speaker 1: clearly is in danger once again of having committed perjury.
Speaker 1: He's talking about Michael Cohen. There. That was Nut Gingrich,
Speaker 1: who is very astute on with his analysis of all
Speaker 1: things Trump. So so, Producer, Mike, we're still being told
Speaker 1: that Manaford has been delayed until tomorrow. Correct, Yeah, he
Speaker 1: just head it up on Fox a little while ago.
Speaker 1: Um like tomorrow now, all right, So so here's what
Speaker 1: I here's what I got, and here's here's why I'm
Speaker 1: bringing up this Cohen thing. And now also I want
Speaker 1: to talk about Maniford. It is a very troubling thing
Speaker 1: in this country when one political party, when when one
Speaker 1: of the two major political ideologies has openly embraced the
Speaker 1: humiliation and degradation of a fellow American for really very
Speaker 1: minor crimes all things considered. They know, process crimes or
Speaker 1: financial crimes that only affected the state. Now when I
Speaker 1: say they're minor, people say Buck Cohen is guilty of
Speaker 1: seven felonies or whatever it is, and Manaford is guilty
Speaker 1: of all these different crimes, and okay, but what are
Speaker 1: the crimes really, lying, hiding money, being greedy, not paying taxes.
Speaker 1: Those are the crimes, not stealing from old widows and
Speaker 1: leaving them penniless, not you know, raping and murdering. And
Speaker 1: it's none of that, you know, none of the things
Speaker 1: we think of when we describe somebody as a as
Speaker 1: a hardened criminal. In his guy's not a bank robber.
Speaker 1: He's not threatening people physically, he's not. And this is
Speaker 1: true of Cohen and maniphor maybe Cohen tried to play
Speaker 1: some tough guy stuff. He was like, hey, you know,
Speaker 1: you better watch out or else. But in general, what
Speaker 1: we've seen with Michael Cohen is and this is what
Speaker 1: Newt was getting at a person who has just been
Speaker 1: completely completely annihilated by the state. You know, he went
Speaker 1: from desiring a and I do think he did desire
Speaker 1: the White House job, because I've spoken to people had
Speaker 1: said that he wanted a White House job. And let's
Speaker 1: be honest, how would he not. His whole thing was
Speaker 1: connection to Trump, So he's not going to try to
Speaker 1: milk that a little bit more. But he went from
Speaker 1: thinking maybe he's going to be white House Chief of
Speaker 1: staff or senior White House advisor to now going to
Speaker 1: prison for five years? Is that right? A number of years?
Speaker 1: I mean a serious prison sentence. And people are cheering this.
Speaker 1: People are cheering this on. They seem to not have
Speaker 1: any compassion whatsoever. Now you can call me a softie,
Speaker 1: and on these issues, maybe I am, but I don't
Speaker 1: cheer for when anyone, any of my fellow Americans, has
Speaker 1: their life ruined, their freedom taken away, their finances shattered,
Speaker 1: separated from their families, separated from the wife and the kids,
Speaker 1: not gonna be able to see them, or at least
Speaker 1: only through visits, maybe through a plexiglass window or you know,
Speaker 1: in the meeting room, or however it is, at the
Speaker 1: minimum security prison he's going to go to. I feel
Speaker 1: badly for somebody who's in that situation. But that's not
Speaker 1: what you see from the media. You see with the
Speaker 1: complete flip of Michael Cohen and smashing him into the ground.
Speaker 1: There's no trace in the national you know, the national
Speaker 1: media conversation and from the Democrats and from a lot
Speaker 1: of never Trump Republicans of Okay, yeah, is he a
Speaker 1: scummy guy? Of course, he's a scummy guy. Is he
Speaker 1: a liar? Yes? Is he the worst lawyer in the
Speaker 1: country with the possible exception of Michael Avanati, Yes, all
Speaker 1: of that is true. But he's still a human being.
Speaker 1: And you know he's getting he's getting roughed up by
Speaker 1: the Southern District of New York here. I mean, he's
Speaker 1: getting he's doing real hard time, and I feel badly
Speaker 1: for a guy in that situation, and that that brings
Speaker 1: me then to Oh and it also reminds me of
Speaker 1: the very end of nineteen eighty four, the George Orwell masterpiece,
Speaker 1: one of the ten most important works I would argue
Speaker 1: written in any language in the twentieth century, where you
Speaker 1: only you know your only truly broken by big brother
Speaker 1: and by the totalitarian state. When you are willing to
Speaker 1: denounce those that you once loved, then you finally and
Speaker 1: that's how the book ends. It's really chilling. That's how
Speaker 1: you know that they have crushed your spirit when you
Speaker 1: will now denounce. And this is true of totalitarian regimes.
Speaker 1: This is why they always want people informing on family members.
Speaker 1: You know they want And I'll tell you, I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm a patriot, but my family comes before my country.
Speaker 1: Just it's the way it is. You know, if the
Speaker 1: government said, oh, you report on your family ombers, No, sorry,
Speaker 1: family is number one. And what they've seen, what you've
Speaker 1: seen with Michael coh and is him not just flipping
Speaker 1: on Trump, but flipping on everything that he was and
Speaker 1: thought about himself and having to just do this public
Speaker 1: It's like he's wearing a horse hair shirt. It's this
Speaker 1: public humiliation flagellation. It's it's like the groveling and the
Speaker 1: old English sense of having to grovel as a punishment,
Speaker 1: to to crawl on your hands and knees through the
Speaker 1: streets while people you know, through food at you or
Speaker 1: were locked in the stockade or the stocks, not the
Speaker 1: stockade where they would you know, be able to humiliate
Speaker 1: you even further. You know, That's what this is. And
Speaker 1: we shouldn't be that. We shouldn't want to have somebody
Speaker 1: locked in the stocks in the in the town square
Speaker 1: for our amusement. That's not it's not okay, especially somebody
Speaker 1: who didn't do anything of its particularly heinous or bad.
Speaker 1: And that's why I mean this Manaford sentencing that's coming
Speaker 1: down tomorrow. They keep saying they get all these legal
Speaker 1: in us on that say, well, he could face up
Speaker 1: to eighty years by statute, but based on the sentence
Speaker 1: and guidelines will probably be more like and usually you
Speaker 1: hear that and you think, well, probably more like five.
Speaker 1: You know, how long should how long should Paul maniford
Speaker 1: in a in a fair world, assuming that he makes
Speaker 1: financial restitution and he pays back when he stole from
Speaker 1: the government, and how much? How much? How long should
Speaker 1: Paul Manafort really good to prison? I mean, I'll put
Speaker 1: this out there for you. I think you should probably
Speaker 1: do three to five years something in that range that
Speaker 1: that sounds, you know, three eight Look, he's he's seventy,
Speaker 1: he's an older guy, you know, so how long should
Speaker 1: he get? I mean, I think if you sent Paul
Speaker 1: manafore away for three or four years and took all
Speaker 1: of the ill gotten gains that he had from his frauds,
Speaker 1: that seems fair to me. Do you know what they're
Speaker 1: saying tomorrow? The real range of me Now, I don't
Speaker 1: know what it is, and we're going to announce it,
Speaker 1: you know, on air here if it happened live, But
Speaker 1: it doesn't look like it's happening. Today. They're talking about
Speaker 1: Manafort getting eighteen to twenty five years in prison, folks,
Speaker 1: eighteen to twenty five years in federal prison for tax
Speaker 1: fraud and wire fraud and bank fraud. That is a
Speaker 1: that is a long long time. I mean, it means
Speaker 1: that he will die in prison, and that's something that
Speaker 1: all of us should at least feel sad and some sympathy.
Speaker 1: But I'm not a Paul Metaphord fan. I mean, I
Speaker 1: think he's a sketchy guy. But we a citizens should
Speaker 1: always always have a sense of, you know, should this,
Speaker 1: Should this state be crushing this person and essentially taking
Speaker 1: this person's life away, if not killing them, removing life
Speaker 1: from them, removing their ability to live their lives. We
Speaker 1: should always at this. This is where I have a
Speaker 1: more maybe libertarian or perhaps a classical liberal side that
Speaker 1: comes out. It's we should question the state putting people
Speaker 1: away for this long and we should question why this
Speaker 1: is happening to an individual like this. And you know,
Speaker 1: there was I didn't get a chance to talk about
Speaker 1: it earlier this week, but there was a there was
Speaker 1: a sentencing or I'm sorry you're a DOJ memo that
Speaker 1: was about a US attorney in Philadelphia bringing charges there
Speaker 1: and the US attorneys bringing charge is based on use
Speaker 1: of a gun in a crime of violence affecting interstate commerce.
Speaker 1: What a lot of folks don't know is that the
Speaker 1: Feds can They can get you for really any violent
Speaker 1: crime involving a robbery. It can become a federal issue
Speaker 1: if the Feds want to take it. They usually don't.
Speaker 1: But and Mike, this is in your hometown. This was
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia. They took this one though, because a man
Speaker 1: named Joe von Patterson, who was who was initially charged
Speaker 1: with attempted murder, aggravated assault, robbery, threat of immediate serious injury,
Speaker 1: possession of a firearm by a prohibited person, possession of
Speaker 1: a firearm on the street in Philadelphia, a simple assault,
Speaker 1: recklessly endangering. I mean a lot of charges because he
Speaker 1: robbed an Asian American convenience store owner named mister Poeng
Speaker 1: and almost blew his leg off with an AK forty
Speaker 1: seven rob this guy's convenience store, and the guy was
Speaker 1: trying to comply, and then there was a struggle and
Speaker 1: mister Pong nearly had his run and nearly had his
Speaker 1: right leg blown off and is now confined to a
Speaker 1: wheelchair for life. His wife and children arrived on the
Speaker 1: scene as he was rapidly bleeding out on the street,
Speaker 1: almost died, had to get rushed to the hospital, barely
Speaker 1: saved him and was and is now in a wheelchair
Speaker 1: for life. Just shattered his I think it was shattered
Speaker 1: his femur. Who wants to guess how long the local
Speaker 1: district attorney in Philadelphia gave the guy who with an
Speaker 1: AK forty seven shot this husband, father, family, family man,
Speaker 1: business owner, just trying to make a living for his family,
Speaker 1: did nothing wrong and is now a wheelchair for the
Speaker 1: rest of his life after being shot through the leg
Speaker 1: with who wants to guess? Three and a half years? Folks,
Speaker 1: three and a half years in the US Attorney's office
Speaker 1: blessed them were so incensed by this that they're like,
Speaker 1: you know what we can bring federal charge is then
Speaker 1: we're going to because that's outrageous, and they they went
Speaker 1: after the disc attorney. They wrote in this I keep
Speaker 1: forgetting what you call it memo In this publication they
Speaker 1: put out this is from the Department of Justice. The
Speaker 1: policies of the District Attorney's office are harming minority communities
Speaker 1: all across the city of Philadelphia, and the people who
Speaker 1: have the right to the most outraged by these policies
Speaker 1: are those in the African American community and the Latino community.
Speaker 1: Everyone in the city, and I mean everyone deserves to
Speaker 1: live in a safe neighborhood. The district attorney calls himself
Speaker 1: a public defender with power. That is not his job.
Speaker 1: He's not supposed to be a public defender advocating for defendants.
Speaker 1: He's supposed to be a prosecutor, advocating for victims and
Speaker 1: protecting you, protecting the community. So US attorney got this
Speaker 1: one right in Philadelphia. Obviously the DA got wrong. But
Speaker 1: just think about that, folks, manapour it could get twenty
Speaker 1: years in federal prison. That's realistic tomorrow. I don't know
Speaker 1: if I don't know what he's gonna get. And the
Speaker 1: Left is going to cheer for this like a bunch
Speaker 1: of cackling high jinas he they got mana for it.
Speaker 1: For what You're gonna sleep at r at night because
Speaker 1: they got mana for it. Meanwhile, if you are a
Speaker 1: guy who you know, if you're an African American guy
Speaker 1: named what's his name? Agains Javon Patterson Philadelphia, and you
Speaker 1: shoot mister Pong from originally born in Asia. I forget
Speaker 1: where here. I'm looking at this thing. Cambodia and you're
Speaker 1: Cambodian American named Pong and you get your leg almost
Speaker 1: blown off in a robbery. The guy who almost killed
Speaker 1: you and has ruined much of your life, he's gonna
Speaker 1: get three years three and a half. I'm sorry. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's justice, folks. Just remember that this is our system.
Speaker 1: I'll be right back. Global Verification Network the only dual
Speaker 1: certified and veteran owned background investigation and vetting company. I
Speaker 1: know the CEO personally, Mark Buckman. He's a great guy.
Speaker 1: He's a Navy vet and he really cares about being
Speaker 1: the best at this when it comes to background investigations
Speaker 1: and also the most efficient all done here in the
Speaker 1: US of A. If you're listening to this and you
Speaker 1: work in an HR department anywhere in the country, or
Speaker 1: you have your own company your own employees and you
Speaker 1: need background checks down, or you need any corporate vetting whatsoever,
Speaker 1: I really encourage you strongly to go check out my
Speaker 1: friends at Global Verification Network. You can call them at
Speaker 1: eight seven seven six nine five one one seven nine
Speaker 1: again eight seven seven six nine five one one seven
Speaker 1: nine Make sure, you tell them you heard about them
Speaker 1: on the Buck Sexton Show. Also go to my GVN
Speaker 1: dot com. That's their website again, MYGVN dot com Global
Speaker 1: Verification Network. Leave no stone unturned. There's numbers of border
Speaker 1: crossings are still at a historic low compared to other
Speaker 1: times in our nation's history. No, editor, they're not. We're
Speaker 1: on pace for over seven hundred thousand crossings this year.
Speaker 1: That's closer to historic highs than historic lows. Oh, I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: you meet a Democrat senator has no idea what the
Speaker 1: heck he's talking about when it comes to the border.
Speaker 1: What a shock we are at the BERCROSSI at a
Speaker 1: historic low. Bloomenthal says, no, you're not your jerk. We're now,
Speaker 1: as was pointed out by CBP Commissioner Kevin mckilnan, we
Speaker 1: are closer to historic highs. The border right now is
Speaker 1: as bad as it has ever been ever. Folks. People
Speaker 1: who say, oh, but Buck in the in San Diego
Speaker 1: in the nineties, they would have they had a half
Speaker 1: a million a year a cross in that one sector.
Speaker 1: I say, yeah, that's right, and they deported half that
Speaker 1: number within the first year. A lot of them are
Speaker 1: deported within days. Sometimes they would catch people when when
Speaker 1: they counted them as illegal crossings, but they catch people
Speaker 1: who would cross illegally and then try to cross back
Speaker 1: in the same day. So it was the wild West,
Speaker 1: but it also was a much more aggressive enforcement time
Speaker 1: because if you were a Mexican caught illegally in San
Speaker 1: Diego and the government was willing to and repatriate you
Speaker 1: in Mexico in a matter of hours, no big deal.
Speaker 1: When you're a migrant from Honduras, Al Salvador or Guatemala,
Speaker 1: when you're coming from those countries, they can't because of
Speaker 1: the non contiguous country rule Canada and Mexico being the
Speaker 1: contiguous states that we have to keep in mind here,
Speaker 1: they can't just push you back into Mexico and say
Speaker 1: not our problem. And because of that, there's this whole
Speaker 1: separate process, and that process is breaking down. And this
Speaker 1: is all very Alynsky. I mean, it reminds me of
Speaker 1: how you look you look at Olensky's rules for radicals,
Speaker 1: which nobody talks about on the right anymore, and they
Speaker 1: really should, because we're entering a time of radical leftism.
Speaker 1: It's what I've been discussing here today on the show.
Speaker 1: We are talking about a radical left now, one that
Speaker 1: is clearly separated from what a majority of the American
Speaker 1: people think is normal, okay and want for the country.
Speaker 1: But one of the one of their plans was just
Speaker 1: to go into a facility and just clog up just
Speaker 1: I don't mean literally clog up, but go in and
Speaker 1: sit in all the bathroom stall so nobody can go
Speaker 1: to the bathroom. As a former protest, you know, that
Speaker 1: sounds like it's not a big deal. But guess what
Speaker 1: of the course of the day. I mean, that's gonna
Speaker 1: get a lot of attention. It's gonna really slow it's
Speaker 1: gonna slow down business because people have to use the
Speaker 1: restroom over the course of the day. So if you
Speaker 1: go into a government building and you and you flood,
Speaker 1: I can I don't know how to say it. You
Speaker 1: flood all the restrooms, you're gonna cause some real problems.
Speaker 1: But are you gonna go in there and arrest somebody
Speaker 1: for taking too long in the stall? There's no stall limit.
Speaker 1: That's a Lynsky overwhelm the system. And that's what's happening
Speaker 1: now at our border. It is a conscious decision by
Speaker 1: the cartels, by the far left Democrats by their international
Speaker 1: NGOs that are involved in trying to push this stuff
Speaker 1: and make sure that we have no more, no hope
Speaker 1: anymore of any kind of law enforcement situation that will
Speaker 1: get control of this. But the number now is worse,
Speaker 1: and the situation is worse than it has ever been
Speaker 1: because we are dealing with this reality of no one
Speaker 1: who is arriving is going to be deported, really no
Speaker 1: one realistically will. And that you have the Democrats still
Speaker 1: with the lies. I mean, think of all the And
Speaker 1: I was on Tucker Show last night. If you missed it,
Speaker 1: go to Facebook dot com slash Buck Sexton producer Mike
Speaker 1: high five to you. He always pulls when I go
Speaker 1: on Fox, so we can share it with you because
Speaker 1: I know some of you miss it. But it was
Speaker 1: a really good, really good exchange with Tucker and then
Speaker 1: Tom Holman, who will get to in a few minutes.
Speaker 1: I really like Tom. He just reminds me of the
Speaker 1: best guys I work with at the NYPD. He's a
Speaker 1: law enforcement guy. He's a true l e O. And
Speaker 1: I was with Tucker last night. We're talking about this
Speaker 1: and just all the lies you have been told that
Speaker 1: immigration walls don't work. That's a lie. Immigrants are a
Speaker 1: net positive to the economy, that's a lie. Illegal aliens
Speaker 1: commit fewer crimes than native born Americans. That's a lie.
Speaker 1: You know, you get on the list. The caravans won't
Speaker 1: ever even arrive at the border. This is all fearmongering
Speaker 1: from Fox News. That's a lie. There's no crisis at
Speaker 1: the border, that's a lie. There's eleven million illegals in
Speaker 1: this country. That's a lie. You know, how many times
Speaker 1: do we have to go through this? When does the
Speaker 1: media cease to have any credibility on this issue? And
Speaker 1: when do we start to hold to account the far
Speaker 1: left Democrats who are pushing policies that have real costs,
Speaker 1: pretty horrific costs. Actually Secretary Nielsen who is just getting
Speaker 1: getting attacked by the far left Democrats in the House.
Speaker 1: And I mean, you know, the thing is, how how
Speaker 1: frustrated can I ever really be with Trump and the
Speaker 1: Republican Party when the alternative are this this complete clown
Speaker 1: show of Democrats. I try to remind myself of that.
Speaker 1: I mean, thank god, it's the situation that it is
Speaker 1: right now where I'm trying to I have a realistic
Speaker 1: hope that the people in power, the people in charge,
Speaker 1: can do things to make things better instead of just
Speaker 1: you know, assuming that everything is going to be just
Speaker 1: fine and then realizing, oh, no, the Democrats are going
Speaker 1: to destroy everything they can, everything they touch will be
Speaker 1: poisoned in some way. At least with democrat I mean,
Speaker 1: at least with Republicans, I can work with them on it.
Speaker 1: But there are very real costs to this. And Secretary
Speaker 1: Nielsen spoke about how I mean, they look. This is horrific.
Speaker 1: It's horrific to hear, but you need to know about
Speaker 1: the costs of them because remember, because Democrats won't enforce
Speaker 1: the law here because they refuse to do what the
Speaker 1: law states at the border, which would involve deportations from
Speaker 1: people in the interior. It would involve, you know, deporting
Speaker 1: people quickly who arrived at the border who we believe
Speaker 1: to be lying about their credible fear instead of the
Speaker 1: current credible fear standard. Because of all that, you have
Speaker 1: a giant magnet. The word is out and people know
Speaker 1: that they can come to this country, they'll be able
Speaker 1: to stay, and that's a huge benefit to them. So
Speaker 1: they're willing to take risks. But the risk that they're
Speaker 1: willing to take because of this are horrific. And here's
Speaker 1: what Nielsen said about a play clib seven. Because of
Speaker 1: the increase in violence at ice when we have families
Speaker 1: with children, we have to give every girl pregnancy test
Speaker 1: over ten. This is not a safe journey. You have
Speaker 1: families who are bringing their children through cartel not just
Speaker 1: infested but controlled territory, and terrible things are happening on
Speaker 1: mass to young girls. This is only happening now. Of course,
Speaker 1: the cartels and the monsters that are doing this these
Speaker 1: girls are the ones that are responsible. But this circumstance
Speaker 1: would not be occurring if there was not this giant
Speaker 1: welcome matt that the Democrats refuse to pull away at
Speaker 1: our southern border right now. For anyone arriving with children.
Speaker 1: This is an incentives base situation. There's a cause and
Speaker 1: effect here, and there are real costs to it. And
Speaker 1: that's one of the things that Nielsen was talking about there.
Speaker 1: I mean that these girls that the statistics on sexual
Speaker 1: assault of a very young I mean of any woman
Speaker 1: is a terrible crime, but of very young girls. And
Speaker 1: I can't imagine, you know, being the father of one
Speaker 1: of these girls. Who's you know. You know, even even
Speaker 1: if you after the fact knew who was responsible, you're
Speaker 1: talking about the cartels. You're really gonna you're gonna go
Speaker 1: after our cartel. I mean some of you were saying, yes, Buck,
Speaker 1: I would, and I respect that feeling, and I think
Speaker 1: I feel the same way. But you'd probably be signing
Speaker 1: your death warrant, right you go after the cartels, They'll
Speaker 1: kill anybody, they don't care, and you you cause any
Speaker 1: slowdown in their business. And I also want to know,
Speaker 1: at some point, when does Mexico get its act together?
Speaker 1: Are we ever allowed to ask that question? I know
Speaker 1: I could feel people like, whoo oh, no, it's just true.
Speaker 1: Why are only three percent of crimes in Mexico prosecuted?
Speaker 1: Three I was told that by the US ambassador to Mexico.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not something that I'm just pulling up
Speaker 1: out of nowhere. Why can't Mexico of any rule of
Speaker 1: law so to speak, or to speak of whatsoever? Yeah,
Speaker 1: why does our neighbor to the south have such dysfunctional
Speaker 1: and corrupt institutions? You know a lot of weed grown
Speaker 1: in Canada. I mean, you know, Canada could have cartels
Speaker 1: and stuff too. But somehow Canada's safe and orderly and fine.
Speaker 1: I really asked this question looking for an answer. You know,
Speaker 1: Costa Rica is not a you know, a backwards, lawless
Speaker 1: hell hole. And I know there are very nice parts
Speaker 1: of Mexico and all that stuff, but the Mexican state
Speaker 1: overall is dysfunctional and weak and corrupt. And could you
Speaker 1: imagine if we found out that in this country there
Speaker 1: was a a you know, that there were migrants on
Speaker 1: US soil who were being abused and raped in this way.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think the outcry for American people, you know,
Speaker 1: we'd we'd send every task force we have. We'd said
Speaker 1: every every you know, burly brawling law enforcement guy we
Speaker 1: know to go track down the soobs and take care
Speaker 1: of business. You know, but you know, on the Mexican
Speaker 1: said there's not even a prayer of any justice for
Speaker 1: these people in the Mexican side of the border. And
Speaker 1: I asked the open question, why is that? Why Mexico
Speaker 1: is not a poor country, lots of natural resources, lots
Speaker 1: of oil, beautiful climate. Why can't they stop having all
Speaker 1: these problems? And people will say, oh, buckets. The drug war.
Speaker 1: The drug war doesn't necessitate almost forty thousand people a
Speaker 1: year being murdered. That's a Mexico specific problem. We'll be
Speaker 1: right back. We are heading for an economic reset, my friends.
Speaker 1: It's inevitable. I can't tell you when it's going to happen,
Speaker 1: but it is going to happen. At some point. The
Speaker 1: market is going to correct. This is a historical certainty.
Speaker 1: And that's why I really want to encourage you to
Speaker 1: diversify your portfolio a little bit. And a great way
Speaker 1: to do that is with precious metals and a four
Speaker 1: oh one K. All right, because you have a precious
Speaker 1: metal four oh one K that will help you insulate
Speaker 1: your portfolio against some crazy market moves, especially when the
Speaker 1: market gets really beat up. Guess what precious metals do. Well,
Speaker 1: call my friends at Noble Gold see if you qualify
Speaker 1: for their Precious Medals IRA program. They could make you
Speaker 1: a whole lot of money and it could cost you
Speaker 1: nothing to move some money you have right now sitting
Speaker 1: an account into a Precious Medals IRA. Call them at
Speaker 1: eight seven seven six four six five three four seven
Speaker 1: or text buck to five eleven five eleven again eight
Speaker 1: seven seven six four six five three four seven or
Speaker 1: text buck to five eleven five eleven. Individual results may vary.
Speaker 1: Invest y Z standard text rates may apply. Trump wins.
Speaker 1: That's the conclusion here will sustain its veto. And let
Speaker 1: me remind you of years that for every unaccompanied minor
Speaker 1: that comes to the United States, it costs US three
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy five dollars a day to house these miners.
Speaker 1: They go through hell to get here, and on average,
Speaker 1: we're spending one hundred and thirty six thousand dollars per
Speaker 1: kid from the treasury. This is a crisis. One point
Speaker 1: six billion going to be spent. We're approaching a million
Speaker 1: illegal immigrants by the end of the year. Laws reward
Speaker 1: people for coming. We need to change our laws, and
Speaker 1: we need to build a wall. Trump has going to
Speaker 1: win in Congress on the wall, and I'm going to
Speaker 1: pursue legal changes to make sure you can be held
Speaker 1: more than twenty days, that you're not going to be
Speaker 1: released into the country before you have an immigration hearing.
Speaker 1: If we don't stop that, they will always keep coming.
Speaker 1: Lindsey Graham is spot on here. You know, I like
Speaker 1: sometimes Lindsey Graham. Yes, his most glorious moment was stepping
Speaker 1: in and defending Kavanaugh at that hearing when we all
Speaker 1: were just on the edge of our seats, like someone, please,
Speaker 1: you know, give the help this guy return fire. I mean,
Speaker 1: this is outrageous, right and so, and I talked to
Speaker 1: Senator Graham about it. I think I told you all
Speaker 1: about that. I spent about half an hour sitting down
Speaker 1: with Lindsay and and he knew that it was it was.
Speaker 1: It was his Spartacus moment for real. It wasn't a
Speaker 1: laughable Spartacus moment. He actually was Spartacus that day. And
Speaker 1: I guess Spartacus in the and loses and his slave
Speaker 1: revolt is put down on everybody's massacred. But you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, he was a badass, different, different kind
Speaker 1: of thing. But Lindsay is absolutely correct on the issue
Speaker 1: of the border. I'm just glad to see that there
Speaker 1: are some Republicans who understand what's going on here. And
Speaker 1: there has to be legislation. This has to Congress has
Speaker 1: to do something. And you know Democrats are going to
Speaker 1: try everything in their power to just continue the machinery
Speaker 1: of easy access for those arriving the border. They're gonna
Speaker 1: want more beds, more judges. They're never pro enforcement. That's
Speaker 1: where a wall would be helpful to enforcement across the board.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that a wall, and you know, Lindsay
Speaker 1: there said we need to change the laws and build
Speaker 1: a wall. That's right. I'm not saying a wall isn't necessary.
Speaker 1: A wall, it's very necessary. But even if we got
Speaker 1: the wall right now with the laws we have, I'm
Speaker 1: here to tell you, and I know this from the
Speaker 1: very top of the immigration enforcement food chain, that a
Speaker 1: wall alone wouldn't be able to deal with the problem
Speaker 1: we have right now. It would help, but it wouldn't
Speaker 1: deal with the actual problem. It would help overall the border,
Speaker 1: but it wouldn't deal with the problem of people who
Speaker 1: are showing up and surrendering and trying to claim asylum
Speaker 1: when they know they're not really assi lees, they're just
Speaker 1: people that want to come to this country. So I
Speaker 1: gave Lindsey Graham credit here, and oh Ron Johnson, by
Speaker 1: the way, you know, he also seems to understand this
Speaker 1: play clip three. And from my standpoint, what I hope
Speaker 1: the Republican Senate does is not to give Nancy Pulsi
Speaker 1: Ball control of the United States Senate, but we should
Speaker 1: come up with our own piece of legislation that basically
Speaker 1: states what our position is. Republicans in the Senate support
Speaker 1: building the wall. We want to secure our border. We
Speaker 1: support the president on that, and then extent that if
Speaker 1: we don't like the fact that given him this authority
Speaker 1: or any president's authority under the National Emergency Act, let's
Speaker 1: change that act. Mike Lee is gonna have a built
Speaker 1: I'm co sponsoring today that does just so. That's the
Speaker 1: more appropriate way of doing this as opposed to voting
Speaker 1: for Nancy Pelosi's resolution. The president has the authority because
Speaker 1: Congress gave him the authority. I do not buy this
Speaker 1: argument that Congress does not have the authority to give
Speaker 1: the president authority. You know, if Congress wants to seed
Speaker 1: it's legislative prerogative, or if it wants to seed it's
Speaker 1: it's purview in some capacity to the president that it specifies, don't.
Speaker 1: I don't see where the mechanism is that says that
Speaker 1: the Congress can't do that. And it's very clear, very
Speaker 1: plain English in the statute. The president can declare this emergency.
Speaker 1: But everyone's gotten all caught up in this, and you
Speaker 1: know this, this has turned into, unfortunately for Republicans, they've
Speaker 1: been split because some of them are, oh, I love
Speaker 1: the Constitution and this is too much power to authority.
Speaker 1: I think they're just flatly wrong, the ones who are
Speaker 1: telling the President that he doesn't have the right to
Speaker 1: do this. No, he very much does have the right
Speaker 1: to do this. And if it goes to if it continues,
Speaker 1: or if it goes through the courts, I do believe
Speaker 1: that in the end he'll be found to have been
Speaker 1: correct all along. But then by that point, you know,
Speaker 1: they'll have moved on and they'll be they'll be investigating
Speaker 1: Baron Trump. They'll they'll have a commission of Democrats that
Speaker 1: are just you know, Baron Trump, when did you start
Speaker 1: chewing bubble? Yellman? How much did you pay for it?
Speaker 1: You know, a little ten year old baron on the stand?
Speaker 1: Let me asking them crazy questions. You know, do you
Speaker 1: know anything about the Moscow tower deal? No? I mean,
Speaker 1: they're just gonna go after a little baron, and because
Speaker 1: they have no shame, they just have no shame. I mean,
Speaker 1: I could see them finding any number of ways to go.
Speaker 1: You know, there is at least some analysis now that
Speaker 1: says that the Democrats understand that if they just start
Speaker 1: going after members of the president's family, They're gonna they're
Speaker 1: gonna have a real problem on their hands. I'm not
Speaker 1: saying that means the Democrats aren't so discussing. They wouldn't
Speaker 1: do it. It just would be counterproductive for them. You know,
Speaker 1: I better not see some Pina of Milania in front
Speaker 1: of Congress or or then then the gloves really come off,
Speaker 1: and we're going to have to really think along and
Speaker 1: hard about, you know, whether whether there's there's room in
Speaker 1: this country for a political party that's as crazy as
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party has become. Instead of trying to reform it,
Speaker 1: we may say we need something new, we need to
Speaker 1: start from scratch here with the other party. And I look,
Speaker 1: I agree with the President, and I think that the
Speaker 1: Republicans that are turning against him on this border security
Speaker 1: issue are I think some of them are grand standards,
Speaker 1: I'll just say it, and I think that they're missing
Speaker 1: the point. Here's the presidents that play for I think
Speaker 1: that really is a very dangerous thing for people to
Speaker 1: be voting against border security, for anybody, including Republicans. I
Speaker 1: really think that Republicans that vote against porter security in
Speaker 1: the wall, I think, you know, I've been okay at
Speaker 1: predicting things. I think they put themselves at great jeopardy.
Speaker 1: I agree. I think that they are going to have
Speaker 1: a very tough time explaining that to some of their constituencies,
Speaker 1: depending on who's up in twenty twenty who's not. And
Speaker 1: it also does seem like this party, everybody in the
Speaker 1: Republican Party, I've noticed this. They want a piece of
Speaker 1: Trump's popularity. All the Republican politicians and the Republican establishment
Speaker 1: now they all want a piece of Trump's popularity. But
Speaker 1: they don't want a piece of his fights. They don't
Speaker 1: really want to back him up. You know. They want
Speaker 1: to cheer him on while he runs around smashing things
Speaker 1: and trying to crush his enemies, but they don't want
Speaker 1: to get into the fray themselves. You see this with
Speaker 1: the Republicans on healthcare, on the border, on any number.
Speaker 1: The only thing we can count on from Republicans is
Speaker 1: tax cuts while we're twenty two trillion dollars in debt. Folks,
Speaker 1: I'm fine with tax cuts, but you know what else,
Speaker 1: we need? Spending cuts. Where are my Republicans on that one?
Speaker 1: Oh what a surprise they are, m Ia, these cages
Speaker 1: they want to call by. These facilities where we house
Speaker 1: families were built under President Obama and Secretary Johnson. But
Speaker 1: now all of a sudden, it's a terrible thing and
Speaker 1: they yell about family attention and locking families up in
Speaker 1: the Family Residential Center. When Barack Obama was present, we
Speaker 1: had one hundred family attention beds. Under his administration, we
Speaker 1: built three thousand more. I built them so for the
Speaker 1: Democrats of miss lead American people saying these are Trump's
Speaker 1: cages and we're locking families up, and it's very easy.
Speaker 1: Democrats they want to investigate it for the acquisitions paperwork
Speaker 1: for you when these facilities are built, it's clear when
Speaker 1: they were built twenty four, twenty fifteen. The Democrats, they
Speaker 1: know the borders out of control is anybody doesn't recognize it.
Speaker 1: It's just ignoring the facts. But their hatred for Trump
Speaker 1: is more important than their responsibility to protect our nation,
Speaker 1: protect our borders. That was Tom Holman, who was a
Speaker 1: former ICE Director. And I always have a great, great
Speaker 1: time in the green room and Fox when I see Tom,
Speaker 1: because we just go back and forth, and he's a
Speaker 1: he's a font of knowledge on the border. I think
Speaker 1: he appreciates that I've really become a student of immigration
Speaker 1: law and the realities of national security and and everything
Speaker 1: and the cartels and everything else that's happening at the border.
Speaker 1: So we have these really great talks. You know what,
Speaker 1: it reminds me I should have I should have him
Speaker 1: here on the show again. We've had him before, but
Speaker 1: I should have him back one so we could kind
Speaker 1: of do a longer I'd like to do a deep
Speaker 1: dive with him, like we just talk about, you know,
Speaker 1: for a couple of segments on everything at the border,
Speaker 1: because he really knows and there he's telling you that
Speaker 1: once again, you're being lied to, and that's one of
Speaker 1: the I think one of the most important things that
Speaker 1: I can I can hammer home here on the show
Speaker 1: because I'm gathering the data and I'm speaking now directly
Speaker 1: to the people who have access to all the information
Speaker 1: about what's happening at the border. I have built some
Speaker 1: really strong relationships with border patrol, with immigrations and customs enforcement.
Speaker 1: I am going. I mean it's scheduled right now, you know,
Speaker 1: God willing, I'll be down there on time. But I'm
Speaker 1: supposed to go down to El Paso in a few weeks.
Speaker 1: Maybe I can stop by Austin, say what's up, KLBJ Austin.
Speaker 1: But it turns out Austin's not that close to El Paso.
Speaker 1: But I'm just so you know, to my KLBJ Austin family,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm actively trying to find an excuse to come
Speaker 1: to your town because everyone tells me at Austin is
Speaker 1: so awesome. So that will happen at some point, sooner
Speaker 1: than later. But it looks like I'll get down to
Speaker 1: El Paso and hoping they spend a few days there
Speaker 1: to see what's going on the border because next month
Speaker 1: the numbers are going to be out of control. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna say next month, I mean this month, But the
Speaker 1: next time we have numbers, it's gonna be a one
Speaker 1: hundred thousand. You essentially have the poorest and most desperate
Speaker 1: people from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador. You have them
Speaker 1: coming into America in now numbers that are going to
Speaker 1: reach the hundreds of thousands. That's what you have. They
Speaker 1: are leaving their home countries and coming to America. It
Speaker 1: is really it's not just a an immigration issue, and
Speaker 1: this is a migration and we need to start thinking
Speaker 1: about it. That way. You know, when you used to
Speaker 1: think back in social studies in you know, six or
Speaker 1: seventh grade, they talk about the migration of people, you know,
Speaker 1: across the Bearing Straight when there was the during the
Speaker 1: Ice Age because of the land bridge, and you know,
Speaker 1: you think of migrations of masses of people moving from
Speaker 1: one place to another. That's what we are seeing happening
Speaker 1: now in Central America. Now, you could send to me, Buck,
Speaker 1: it's not that many people, even if it's a million
Speaker 1: a year. Well to that, I would say, you're talking
Speaker 1: about countries that only have you know, in the low
Speaker 1: millions in total population in Al Salvador, how many people
Speaker 1: actually live in El Salvador, Mike, could you pull Al Salvador,
Speaker 1: Honduras into in Guatemala for me, just so I can
Speaker 1: actually give the number. So I'm not just talking to see.
Speaker 1: I always gotta give you guys the facts. But the
Speaker 1: fact that Tom brings up, Tom Holman brings up that
Speaker 1: the cage is because you know, the the go to
Speaker 1: now for the Democrats, it's all the children, and it's
Speaker 1: all about the children. Why do you separate the children?
Speaker 1: And I really hate it because it's so despicable. I
Speaker 1: hate it when they say that there was some malfeasance,
Speaker 1: and they do this, that there was some indifference on
Speaker 1: the part of Border Patrol to the two kids that
Speaker 1: were in custody who died. That is an absolute and
Speaker 1: they're a little careful about it because it's so provably false,
Speaker 1: but they'll they'll say, you know, they died in border
Speaker 1: patrol custody. Yeah, because they showed up with really high
Speaker 1: fevers and by the time Border Patrol actually had custody
Speaker 1: of them to get them to the hospital, we're talking
Speaker 1: about a couple of hours. Like you know, I know
Speaker 1: the medi women with Border Patrol, they're doing a very
Speaker 1: important job. They're serving their countries, and they have their
Speaker 1: own families. They have their own kids, all right. They're
Speaker 1: not anti kids, they're not anti families. They're just trying
Speaker 1: to do a job. And they took those kids to
Speaker 1: medical care right away. I've seen the medical facilities they're
Speaker 1: they're setting them up triosh facilities on the border. By
Speaker 1: the way, that's another place where when people say the
Speaker 1: DoD has no role to play here, again, they don't
Speaker 1: know what they're talking about, because it's add program in
Speaker 1: San Diego that is setting up frontline medical triage for
Speaker 1: these migrants that are coming through. But it's a migration.
Speaker 1: This is a mass movement of individuals from their region.
Speaker 1: I mean, this isn't like a country that's right next
Speaker 1: door and no, we're talking about Central America. Venezuela could
Speaker 1: be next. But Obama and the Obama administration they lit
Speaker 1: the match. Here. We are now dealing with the conflagration
Speaker 1: of loophole's exploited systematically by people who want to come
Speaker 1: into this country and want to avoid the immigration system
Speaker 1: as they do it right, they want to avoid dealing
Speaker 1: with our actual immigration laws, or rather they want to
Speaker 1: run through the seams and are immigration laws the Obama
Speaker 1: aministration knews, which is why they built those are put
Speaker 1: in place those three thousand more beds for family least.
Speaker 1: They decided that this was going to be a place
Speaker 1: where they would not make a stand and there would
Speaker 1: be no consequences. See that's the problem. The reason the
Speaker 1: law has these loopholes is because there are no consequences
Speaker 1: for the violations of the law. If you break the law,
Speaker 1: guess what, They're going to separate you from your kids
Speaker 1: in this country. You don't get to bring your kids
Speaker 1: with you to prison. If you come into this country illegally,
Speaker 1: you've broken the law. You're supposed to go through a
Speaker 1: legal process for that crime because it is a crime,
Speaker 1: or else our law has no meaning. And if you
Speaker 1: also are going to be somebody that talks about what
Speaker 1: the law is with regard to asylum and this migration
Speaker 1: from Central America of those who are allegedly asylum seekers
Speaker 1: or they're not really asylum seekers, they're just part of
Speaker 1: a migration, then you also have to be in favor
Speaker 1: of the interior enforcement. And this is where the real
Speaker 1: fight would be if Trump was honestly paying closer attention
Speaker 1: to this. You've got to start finding families that don't
Speaker 1: make their court dates or that that you know, they
Speaker 1: either don't show up, or they show up and then
Speaker 1: aren't reported right away and they just melt back in
Speaker 1: the population. You've got to start reporting people because otherwise
Speaker 1: there's no reason not to come here. All you have
Speaker 1: is upside access to our welfare benefits are wonderful, safe, clean,
Speaker 1: wealthy country. You know, anybody who shows up now can
Speaker 1: find their way. You know, I can't imagine how the
Speaker 1: legal immigrants listening to the show must feel about this right,
Speaker 1: what a scam this whole thing is. But we got more.
Speaker 1: Stay with me. I didn't do this stuff. This is
Speaker 1: not me. I'm fighting for my life now. Telling me
Speaker 1: what this Robert tell me. They're telling me that Robert Kelly,
Speaker 1: known as R Kelly, is once again in a very
Speaker 1: precarious position with the law. He is under investigation for
Speaker 1: criminal sexual conduct. He has been arrested, He faces multiple charges,
Speaker 1: and he is I think finally going to finally going
Speaker 1: to face real justice. I don't know how many of
Speaker 1: you have seen the documentary about R. Kelly Surviving R Kelly,
Speaker 1: which was on I believe, Lifetime, but it is pretty riveting.
Speaker 1: I'm not somebody who usually gets into you. I don't
Speaker 1: like celebrity gossip stuff, but this is a true crime story.
Speaker 1: This isn't a celebrity gossip thing. The fact that this
Speaker 1: individual was as famous as he was for as long
Speaker 1: as he was when it was pretty well known that
Speaker 1: he was a sicko and a sociopath. You know he
Speaker 1: has that song. Um yeah, Mike said, Mike, did you
Speaker 1: see the Lifetime series? You know what I'm talking about
Speaker 1: because it's and John John did you see it too? Yeah?
Speaker 1: It's yeah, it's really it makes rank. It's tough watching
Speaker 1: in some parts, but it's also I think, really really powerful.
Speaker 1: But Mike, isn't it amazing that this guy faced He
Speaker 1: faced not just um statutory rape charts, he faced child
Speaker 1: pornography charts for videotaping, you know, sexual acts with an
Speaker 1: underwear I think a fourteen or fifteen year old. And
Speaker 1: he managed to beat the charge. Right, They had the
Speaker 1: video and they showed they showed the jury the video,
Speaker 1: and he kept videos of his sexual activities and he
Speaker 1: managed to beat it. And it was pretty clear that
Speaker 1: he paid off the family of this girl. I think
Speaker 1: because the girl wouldn't testify against him. Right, But that
Speaker 1: this guy, you know that you think back to the
Speaker 1: Dave Chappelle era, and I mean, I don't want to
Speaker 1: talk about what happened, you know, the Dave Chappelle's get
Speaker 1: on the show right now. I don't think it's appropriate,
Speaker 1: but some people at home will know exactly what I'm
Speaker 1: talking about. It was known that R. Kelly was a
Speaker 1: sicko and Mike nobody really cared. We keep seeing this.
Speaker 1: I shouldn't say nobody cared, but a lot of people,
Speaker 1: you know, in the world of consuming media seem to
Speaker 1: think that it just wasn't that big a deal. You know,
Speaker 1: we look now at these these figures, Bill Cosby, R Kelly,
Speaker 1: Michael Jackson, Harvey Weinstein. Uh, these true predators that were
Speaker 1: in these incredible positions of power, and it does make
Speaker 1: you wondering, how do they get away with it for
Speaker 1: so long? How does R Kelly convince women who are
Speaker 1: adults now that he groomed for when they were very
Speaker 1: young teenagers to turn on their own Did you see this?
Speaker 1: They turn on their own parents. In an interview with
Speaker 1: Gail King, Power and Money Buck Power and Money will
Speaker 1: do weird things people. It's disgusting, it is. He's a scumback.
Speaker 1: He is a real life scumbag. Yeah, he real life's
Speaker 1: come back. And you know it's well, what's the song that?
Speaker 1: Uh not fly Away? That's Lenny Kravitz? Um, Oh, I
Speaker 1: Believe I Can Fly? Yeah? Sorry, I didn't mean to
Speaker 1: bring up Lenny Kravitz. He's a great guy. I'll just
Speaker 1: fly away. I Believe I Can Fly. I got them confused.
Speaker 1: I Believe I Can Fly is a song and this
Speaker 1: comes up in the documentary too. It's a song that
Speaker 1: you would hear in black churches it would be sung
Speaker 1: by the choir, and R. Kelly kind of used some
Speaker 1: of his credibility and some of the goodwill from within
Speaker 1: the particularly the Black Baptist community in Chicago and in
Speaker 1: other places around the country to rally to his side
Speaker 1: because people were used to singing his songs in church.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think about Michael Jackson, and you know,
Speaker 1: I think about in retrospect, how many parties I was at.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think I don't think I went to
Speaker 1: a high school dance, for example, where they weren't playing
Speaker 1: at some point a Michael Jackson song. I don't think it. Ever.
Speaker 1: I think at some point you always heard of Michael
Speaker 1: Jackson's song. And now everyone's like, yeah, it looks like
Speaker 1: he actually was a petto the whole time. It's just stunning. Um,
Speaker 1: I don't have any really deeper analysis of the fact
Speaker 1: that some of these figures. Bill Cosby. Bill Cosby was
Speaker 1: one of the most beloved American television stars of all time.
Speaker 1: And now how long did he get in prison? By
Speaker 1: the way, did we It was like, wasn't a while,
Speaker 1: quite quite a few years. I forget now for for
Speaker 1: drugging and raping women. I mean, how's this going through?
Speaker 1: Some of this r Kelly stuff, and you know why
Speaker 1: it took people so long? And what people, you know,
Speaker 1: weren't pressing charges. He was offering. On top of money,
Speaker 1: he was also offering recording contracts to these of course, yes,
Speaker 1: that's really where you know, that's that's a whole other
Speaker 1: thing too. And then, by the way, it's the same
Speaker 1: thing with Weinstein. There's the power you get from writing
Speaker 1: a check which is substantial. You can get a lot
Speaker 1: of silence, and depends on how big the check is.
Speaker 1: You know, when Michael Jackson wrote somebody a check for
Speaker 1: twenty three million dollars who was basically accusing it was
Speaker 1: accusing him of sexually assaulting a kid. I'm sorry, I
Speaker 1: don't care who you are, how much money you have,
Speaker 1: if you don't write someone a check for twenty three
Speaker 1: million dollars from molesting a kid, if you didn't molest
Speaker 1: the kid, because because you just as a man, you
Speaker 1: fight that and you say if you're innocent, if you're innocent,
Speaker 1: I think you fight that with everything you've got, and
Speaker 1: you never you let it be known every day of
Speaker 1: your life till the day you die that you would
Speaker 1: never harm a child like that if you read a
Speaker 1: check for twenty three million dollars. I think people are
Speaker 1: allowed to ask big questions about and now we find
Speaker 1: out that and all with all the stuff that we know,
Speaker 1: it was exactly what we thought at the time. But
Speaker 1: you know the other part of it, Mike, and this
Speaker 1: is what you bring up, is that you know, when
Speaker 1: you can offer somebody not just money but success and status,
Speaker 1: that's even more powerful for a lot of people, right
Speaker 1: because it kind of actual itself. It allows them to
Speaker 1: self actual as, allows them to become what they want
Speaker 1: to become. And you know, the money is a part
Speaker 1: of it. But if you can say that you'll make
Speaker 1: somebody the star that they've always wanted to be. Harvey
Speaker 1: Weinstein certainly did it. I mean it was a pretty
Speaker 1: straightforward thing, right. You have sex with disgusting monster Harvey Weinstein,
Speaker 1: you know, you have sex with jab of the hud Weinstein,
Speaker 1: and you'll get a movie role pretty much. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean that that's unfortunately. You know the other part of
Speaker 1: this is for all the women who you know, Harvey
Speaker 1: Weinstein groped and assaulted and you know he's obviously you're
Speaker 1: getting in trouble and facing criminal charges for in all this.
Speaker 1: Sure there are there are a fair amount of women.
Speaker 1: I mean, based on what you read in the tabloids,
Speaker 1: they're not going to come forward because they just they
Speaker 1: took the deal. They just said sure. I mean, if
Speaker 1: I have to sleep with this guy to get ahead,
Speaker 1: I'm going to. And you know, these are man the
Speaker 1: the entertainment industry in particular just draws a lot of
Speaker 1: the worst people. That's which you find out. There's just
Speaker 1: a lot of because it's so the line between the
Speaker 1: penury and obscurity and riches and fame is a very
Speaker 1: thin one sometimes for people, and people get very desperate
Speaker 1: and they're willing to do you know, they're willing to
Speaker 1: do things that they wouldn't otherwise do, but they feel
Speaker 1: like they have no choice. And then there are people
Speaker 1: who know that and exploit that and exploit it to
Speaker 1: the hill. And R Kelly, I really hope they nail
Speaker 1: him this time. He's facing some very very serious ten
Speaker 1: counts of aggravated sexual abuse. Three of the four alleged
Speaker 1: victims were underage, and Kelly has pleaded not guilty, and
Speaker 1: New York and Illinois are now investigating a variety of
Speaker 1: allegations as well. I think the documentary, Mike what. I
Speaker 1: think the documentary played a role in this too. I
Speaker 1: think people saw this and they're like, Okay, they gotta
Speaker 1: get this guy. Yeah. It was so in their face
Speaker 1: that they're like, all right, you gotta do something about that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Like this is just this is just outrage. I was like,
Speaker 1: they are like haunting people to do something. It's like this.
Speaker 1: And I think that if Michael I think if Michael
Speaker 1: Jackson were still alive, they would probably take the same look,
Speaker 1: the same thing with Bill Cosby and guy got away
Speaker 1: with it for so long, you know, Harvey Weinstein, Bill Cosby,
Speaker 1: Michael Jackson, all these guys. It's just the predators row Man,
Speaker 1: It's it's it's really disturbing stuff. Anyway, we got David Harsagi.
Speaker 1: He's going to be joining it. I want to ask
Speaker 1: David about and he writes very eloquently on the topic
Speaker 1: of what's been going on with ilhan Omar and all
Speaker 1: this anti Semitism and this is somehow become the biggest Well,
Speaker 1: the border is really the biggest story in the country
Speaker 1: this week, and should be an even bigger story In
Speaker 1: my opinion, I think that at some level people don't
Speaker 1: really want to hear it because and I mean Trump
Speaker 1: supporters don't want to hear it. I feel like when
Speaker 1: I tell you what's going on the border right now,
Speaker 1: there will be some portion of this audience that's like, Buck,
Speaker 1: you're being too hard on the president, or you don't understand,
Speaker 1: or look, I'm not saying he can't turn this around,
Speaker 1: and I'm not putting all the blame at his feet.
Speaker 1: It's certainly Congress that has the lion's share of the blame.
Speaker 1: But this is happening under this president and he needs
Speaker 1: you know, I need that that president that's out there
Speaker 1: fighting all the time. It needs to be fighting to
Speaker 1: get the border under control, because it is out of
Speaker 1: control right now. We'll talk to Harsani in just a
Speaker 1: moment here about anti Semitism. Stay with me. I kick
Speaker 1: off every day the same way my friends with a
Speaker 1: delicious cup of black Rifle coffee. I know there's a
Speaker 1: lot of coffee drinkers that listen to this. I'm telling
Speaker 1: you they are the official coffee of the Buck Sexton Show.
Speaker 1: I get black Rifle coffee delivered to me every month.
Speaker 1: I drink it every day of the week. You need
Speaker 1: to see for yourself. This is delicious coffee. If you
Speaker 1: like a little bit of a kick from the caffee,
Speaker 1: and to let me tell you, this gets you lit
Speaker 1: up in all the best ways. Also, Black Rifle Coffee
Speaker 1: is a company run by former Special Operations vets and
Speaker 1: they give a portion of their sales to veteran first
Speaker 1: responder causes. There A coffee is roast to order, it's
Speaker 1: guaranteed fresh delivered to your door, and it's absolutely delicious.
Speaker 1: Join the coffee club. Make things easy so I'll live. Threatened,
Speaker 1: attack you and take away all your rights. Guess what
Speaker 1: Black Rifle Coffee is going to fuel the fight for
Speaker 1: freedom by upping their offer to twenty percent off advantage
Speaker 1: by going to Black Riflecoffee dot com slash buck and
Speaker 1: receive twenty percent off your order. Again, that's Black Riflecoffee
Speaker 1: dot Com slash buck for twenty percent off Black Rifle
Speaker 1: Coffee dot Com slash buck. Congresswoman almart it seems like
Speaker 1: there's some confusion among your colleagues. Are you anti Semitic
Speaker 1: Comsone kind of quickly asked, would you support this resolution
Speaker 1: condemning anti Semitism. My only question just would you support
Speaker 1: the resolution condemning anti Semitism and other forms of bigotry?
Speaker 1: Comgress Woman, would you support the resolution condemning anti Semitism? Thank? Yeah, Commressman,
Speaker 1: would you support the resolution condemning all forms of bigotry?
Speaker 1: I guess it's not a exactly all about the Benjamin's anymore.
Speaker 1: For a congresswoman at Omar there doesn't have a lot
Speaker 1: to say, does she? Huh? What is going on here?
Speaker 1: Seems like she could at least verbalize her support for
Speaker 1: the resolution condemning anti Semitism, But as we know, it's
Speaker 1: now going to condemn a lot more than that. What
Speaker 1: is this all about? Our buddy David Harsani is with
Speaker 1: us now. He's got a great piece up on the
Speaker 1: Federalist dot com. The Democratic Party has normalized anti semitism, Yes,
Speaker 1: Ilhan Omar is a problem. The fact that Democrats refused
Speaker 1: to condemn her rhetoric is a disaster. He's senior editor
Speaker 1: at the Federalist. Mister Harsani, great to have you back,
Speaker 1: Great to be back. Thanks. What is this dumpster fire
Speaker 1: the Democrats are are shifting through this week? I mean,
Speaker 1: I really assume this wouldn't be quite the story it
Speaker 1: is because it seems pretty straightforward, right, members says something
Speaker 1: really into Semitic, people say hey, no anti Semitism, stop
Speaker 1: that crap, and then but no, that's not what's happening here.
Speaker 1: What is happening, Well, I guess there's a large contingent
Speaker 1: within the Democratic Party obviously in the base, and there's
Speaker 1: a president presidential election coming, so you have candidates as
Speaker 1: well or concerned about that. We don't really see much
Speaker 1: wrong with what she said. They they while they lie
Speaker 1: actually and say that she was, you know, just being
Speaker 1: critical of Israel and being critical of Israel. Shouldn't you know,
Speaker 1: shouldn't chill that speech? And I agree, No one says
Speaker 1: you shouldn't be able to criticize Israel. No one says
Speaker 1: you shouldn't be able to say anything you want to say. Um,
Speaker 1: but what she's done is use really old, you know,
Speaker 1: longstanding smears against Jews that they have loyalty to another
Speaker 1: country before themselves or money before their their country. And uh.
Speaker 1: And that's and that seems like what many progressives and
Speaker 1: Dems want to defend and protect because I guess I
Speaker 1: don't know why I guess there's yeah, what's the why
Speaker 1: why why? What do they benefit from? I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: my only theory is that, I mean, I got to
Speaker 1: I got a couple of things. Actually, David's the one
Speaker 1: I oppose them to you. On the one hand, I
Speaker 1: think that the left now runs a Democratic Party, and
Speaker 1: the old guard, the Pelosi Schumer wing, they still control
Speaker 1: some of the processes and money and things like that.
Speaker 1: But in terms of the messaging and the ideology, I
Speaker 1: think that the hard turn left of the party is
Speaker 1: almost a wake up call for some members of the
Speaker 1: Democratic Party one hundred percent agree with that. I think
Speaker 1: that they're far more concerned where Yeah, I mean, they
Speaker 1: can't control these freshmen. They can't control these people, and
Speaker 1: it's a it's a growing, growing faction of the Democratic Party.
Speaker 1: All the energy of the Democratic Party. When you see
Speaker 1: either Bernie or the Woman's March or whatever, it's socialistic
Speaker 1: socialists are typically you know, anti Israel, anti colonialists, however
Speaker 1: they frame it. And I think that's a much more
Speaker 1: popular position on the left, at least the political sort
Speaker 1: of professional activists left and than people would like to think,
Speaker 1: what is it with And I just have to ask
Speaker 1: that you know, look, I grew up in New York City.
Speaker 1: I have obviously grew up around a lot of people
Speaker 1: that well went to Jewish schools, and you are, are
Speaker 1: very steeped in Judaism in New York. And yet they're
Speaker 1: mostly Liberals, David. So, you know, what I think is
Speaker 1: interesting is that how is it that the that most
Speaker 1: of the most of my Jewish friends growing up in
Speaker 1: New York are liberal Democrats. But there's also simultaneously within
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party this anti Israel feeling that is not
Speaker 1: just from Omar. There's actually a lot of American Jews
Speaker 1: that I've spoken to who are really hateful toward Israel.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I've spoken American Jews who think
Speaker 1: that Israel shouldn't exist. What is that? Well, sadly, I
Speaker 1: mean I've thought about this a load, and sadly, I
Speaker 1: think there's a bunch of people who who how can
Speaker 1: I say this, Uh, they are more interested or care
Speaker 1: more about their ideology and that has become their religion
Speaker 1: in a way, and that has become their identity, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. So I'm not saying that people
Speaker 1: should uh you know, the one you know, is should
Speaker 1: be a one issue you know, for for Jews or
Speaker 1: anyone else. But I think that how you think about
Speaker 1: Israel and how you think about the Jewish people and
Speaker 1: Israel says a lot about how you think about things
Speaker 1: in general. Israel as a liberal democracy in the middle
Speaker 1: of a bunch of theocracies and pterist states, and I
Speaker 1: think when you don't support them, you tell us a
Speaker 1: lot about what you're thinking in its ideology. I argue
Speaker 1: many times that anti Zionism is basically anti Semitism, because
Speaker 1: it's functionally is if you're seeing Jews are the only
Speaker 1: people on the earth who aren't don't deserve a state,
Speaker 1: even after they've fought for one and many people have
Speaker 1: died for it, that tells us usually something about your
Speaker 1: broader thinking. And too many leftists in this country value
Speaker 1: progressivism over anything else, and I think it's become a
Speaker 1: religion for them because they have no faith, and that's
Speaker 1: the vacuum needs to be filled, and that's what fills it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's no such thing as a nation state that exists
Speaker 1: today that has not gone through various iterations of somebody
Speaker 1: else controlling that land and bloodshed and oppression and all
Speaker 1: kinds of things. But you know, it's it's gonna be
Speaker 1: really tough for the Iroquois nation to kick out, you know,
Speaker 1: everybody who lives in Northeastern America, right. I mean, at
Speaker 1: some point there needs to be some recognition of what
Speaker 1: reality is. Forgot who said it, but the quote was,
Speaker 1: you know, we're still a fair and square I think
Speaker 1: that in the end, you have to move on with history.
Speaker 1: When you talk about Israel, you're talking about even a
Speaker 1: longer history places like Hebron mean the Hebrew you know
Speaker 1: of the Hebrews, or Hebrew Town. Basically, you know, you're
Speaker 1: talking about long history here. And you know, frankly, the
Speaker 1: Jews have done everything they can in Israel to make
Speaker 1: to try to help and create a Palestinian state. I
Speaker 1: know people think that that's nuts, but it's true. No
Speaker 1: sane nation is going to say, hey, oh, your terrorists
Speaker 1: over here, you want to destroy us, why don't we
Speaker 1: give you a state here right next to us, on
Speaker 1: our board or overlooking our our our capital city, and
Speaker 1: do what you want. That's just outrageous. No one would
Speaker 1: do it. No one expects any country to do it
Speaker 1: for real. And you know, so Omar and her contingent
Speaker 1: will never be never be happy with what's going on,
Speaker 1: and you know, her attacks are widespread against all Jews,
Speaker 1: not Israeli's only That's something we should always remember when
Speaker 1: we talk about what would be what would be a
Speaker 1: sufficient a sufficient response from the Democratic Party on this issue.
Speaker 1: I mean, is if she got removed from her committee
Speaker 1: assignment with that at least feel like there's some consequences
Speaker 1: that have to be more than that. Or or also
Speaker 1: are we just living in a country now where Democrats
Speaker 1: will put aside whatever their guidelines are on these issues
Speaker 1: whenever it suits them, and that's that. And we just
Speaker 1: need to understand that. I mean, this resolution is ridiculous
Speaker 1: now because it's a resolution. A resolution about everything is
Speaker 1: a resolution about nothing. But more than that, even a
Speaker 1: resolution that condemns anti Semitism, as the earlier drafted is useless.
Speaker 1: I don't want to police someone's speech. The problem is
Speaker 1: that she's on a committee that that Pelosi, after seeing
Speaker 1: her tweet on the Jews hypnotizing with the world for evil,
Speaker 1: put her on that committee, a foreign affairs committee, and
Speaker 1: more than that, was on the cover of Rolling Stone
Speaker 1: magazine with her what last week. I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: that's the problem. The problem that is that it's being normalized.
Speaker 1: I don't tell the Democratic Party what to do. I
Speaker 1: don't even care. I mean, I care what they do,
Speaker 1: but what they do what they do. The problem isn't
Speaker 1: any one specific measure. Problem is that this is a
Speaker 1: more increasingly popular position within that party, and that's dangerous
Speaker 1: I think for the country in any way. How much
Speaker 1: of this also do you see as the clash of
Speaker 1: intersectionality within itself? And with Omar you have somebody who
Speaker 1: is female, who is black, and who is a Muslim,
Speaker 1: So you know the way the Democrats And look, I
Speaker 1: work with Liberals every day at the Hill, and I
Speaker 1: know how they think about things that I know how
Speaker 1: they assess and it is almost like they have a
Speaker 1: matrix of different levels of oppression. I mean, this is
Speaker 1: intersectional thinking. And we know that there's a different standard,
Speaker 1: but do you think that there's a different center applied
Speaker 1: to all kinds of minority groups in terms of what
Speaker 1: they're allowed to say, what they can say period, also
Speaker 1: how far they can go on certain things. But what
Speaker 1: I want to ask you is how much of this
Speaker 1: do you think is the fact that you have a
Speaker 1: Muslim American now member of Congress, who is saying and
Speaker 1: I brought this up, yes to the show, and David,
Speaker 1: you can defer on this works. I do want to
Speaker 1: get you any trouble, and a lot of people listen
Speaker 1: to this show. But this is pretty commonplace in the
Speaker 1: Muslim world. I'm sorry to say, it's just true. I mean,
Speaker 1: this is much more widespread in the Muslim world than
Speaker 1: people want to want to admit. Yeah, we should not
Speaker 1: get in trouble for for just simply stating facts. Across
Speaker 1: the Islamic world. According to Pew polling and other polling,
Speaker 1: anti Semitism is sky high, in the ninety percent in
Speaker 1: some places. I haven't seen a poll here in the
Speaker 1: in the young American Muslims, I hope it would be less.
Speaker 1: I'm sure it will be last, but it's still obviously
Speaker 1: a problem. You know, And I think when you talk
Speaker 1: about this sort of hierarchy of of of you know, victimhood,
Speaker 1: I guess she is at the tippy top. You can't
Speaker 1: do better than that. Maybe if she was a gay
Speaker 1: she would do better than she has. Other than that,
Speaker 1: you can't get higher. So she has she has levels
Speaker 1: of near invincibility because of that. I mean, if this
Speaker 1: you know, if this was you know, a white guy
Speaker 1: named Mike Johnson from Missouri, he'd be off that committee absolutely.
Speaker 1: And the thing is, I've seen many people attack I
Speaker 1: mean a bunch of people have attacked me in using
Speaker 1: that kind of language. Oh it's a black woman, a
Speaker 1: Muslim and islamophobic, don't I don't really even care what
Speaker 1: she is. I care about what she's saying. I know
Speaker 1: no one believes that. But more than that, I've seen
Speaker 1: The Washington Post ran a piece where it basically said,
Speaker 1: the Jews are white people and and do well in
Speaker 1: this country, and they just basically should be quiet and
Speaker 1: listen to her because she has gone through something. You know,
Speaker 1: she lives a life with that is harder or whatever
Speaker 1: their case was. And it's just it's unintellectual. I don't
Speaker 1: really even know how else to put it. That's not
Speaker 1: a rational way to talk about people, and especially not
Speaker 1: in America where we're not supposed to judge people like that.
Speaker 1: And I also think that there's old and this is
Speaker 1: true of everything. The left hasn't yet figured out how
Speaker 1: to the Democratic Party and the media, which you know,
Speaker 1: I repeat myself, they haven't figured out yet really what
Speaker 1: to do about the growth of the hyper sensitive left
Speaker 1: about all things and the realities of Islam on a
Speaker 1: global level. They haven't because because those things are going
Speaker 1: to be a real tough match for a long time. Yeah. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: And we can't really have an honest discussion about any
Speaker 1: of that, right, I mean, if I write, when I
Speaker 1: get off, I'll probably go on Twitter and people will
Speaker 1: be calling me, you know, an islama, folks for saying
Speaker 1: what I just said. But you know, this is the
Speaker 1: reality of the world and it's something we have to
Speaker 1: deal with. Our things aren't going to get better, and
Speaker 1: they just continue to get worse, and every argument is
Speaker 1: sort of just brushed over. With this identity politics, it's
Speaker 1: impossible to have a discussion about anything in any sort
Speaker 1: of rational or realistic way. David Arsani, everybody check out
Speaker 1: his latest at The Federalist. The Democratic Party has normalized
Speaker 1: anti Semitism. The Federalist dot com, where he is a
Speaker 1: senior editor. David always good to talk to you, my friend,
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us. Thank you speak too soon. A
Speaker 1: lot of you have probably heard of the AARP, but
Speaker 1: probably haven't heard about the fact that the AARP is
Speaker 1: a senior's organization that's pretty left wing. They really push
Speaker 1: for Obamacare, and they're into an expansive state and higher taxes,
Speaker 1: and you don't support or believe any of that. So
Speaker 1: if you're a senior, why not join a seniors organization
Speaker 1: that also shares your values. That's AMAC. Why do I
Speaker 1: think you should go with amak Well, AMAC was founded
Speaker 1: by an Air Force veteran, and he's a patriot who
Speaker 1: loves his country and shares your conservative values, and that
Speaker 1: filters throughout the organization. AMAC has over one point five
Speaker 1: million members and a lot of listeners to this show
Speaker 1: have already joined. You should check it out. It'll get
Speaker 1: you discounts on card turns, hotels, all kinds of things,
Speaker 1: and I'll also be supporting the America that you want
Speaker 1: for the future. Go to AMAC dot us slash buck.
Speaker 1: That's AMAC dot us slash buck. AMAC is better, better
Speaker 1: for you, better for America. Stand with AMAC today. Hi everyone,
Speaker 1: I have some news to share with all of you,
Speaker 1: and it's in keeping with my longtime Paul See of
Speaker 1: being open and transparent with our Jeopardy fan base. I
Speaker 1: also wanted to prevent you from reading or hearing some
Speaker 1: overblown or inaccurate reports regarding my health, so therefore I
Speaker 1: wanted to be the one to pass along this information. Now,
Speaker 1: just like fifty thousand other people in the United States
Speaker 1: each year, this week I was diagnosed with stage four
Speaker 1: pancreatic cancer. Now, normally the prognosis for this is not
Speaker 1: very encouraging. But I'm going to fight this and I'm
Speaker 1: going to keep working and with the love and support
Speaker 1: of my family and friends, and with the help of
Speaker 1: your prayers also, I plan to beat the low survival
Speaker 1: rate statistics for this disease. Truth told, I have to
Speaker 1: because under the terms of my contract, I have to
Speaker 1: host Jeopardy for three more years. So help me keep
Speaker 1: the faith and will win. We'll get it done. Thank you.
Speaker 1: Tough stuff to hear there from Alex Trebek, who who
Speaker 1: is a true icon and not one who is you know,
Speaker 1: flashy and had all kinds of scandal in his background,
Speaker 1: and just you know, it seems like he's always been
Speaker 1: a very stand up guy. I mean, like, I don't
Speaker 1: know him, nothing about him other than just his work,
Speaker 1: but he's one of those people who you just always
Speaker 1: at least for me. I mean, I can't speak for
Speaker 1: front of you, but I would be willing to guess
Speaker 1: that at least some of you feel the same way
Speaker 1: that Trebec as the guy on Jeopardy. His presence is
Speaker 1: one of those people in your life that, even if
Speaker 1: you're I'm not a Jeopardy watcher, but I've seen many
Speaker 1: episodes of Jeopardy, he's one of these people who you
Speaker 1: just always assume he's going to be there. You just
Speaker 1: always assume that Alex Trebec will be the voice you
Speaker 1: hear when you're flipping through channels and sure enough, deputy
Speaker 1: comes on and you think that you're going to just
Speaker 1: run the table, and you get one right, and then
Speaker 1: two or three of them you're like, what is that?
Speaker 1: But Alex Trebeck now is facing that demon that so
Speaker 1: many of us face. Cancer, one of the worst kinds
Speaker 1: unfortunately too. I think in terms of statistically the worst
Speaker 1: cancers in this country are for mortality rate, lung cancer,
Speaker 1: pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer, and I forget what the fourth
Speaker 1: one is, but they're very, very high on the list.
Speaker 1: The reason that pancreatic cancer is so deadly is because
Speaker 1: it is an organ that is deep in the body
Speaker 1: and it is very important for endocrine function, and you
Speaker 1: know it's it's an important organ but beyond that, you
Speaker 1: usually don't have any symptoms until it's already spread into
Speaker 1: lymph nodes, and then it's then for most people it's
Speaker 1: too late. The five year survival rate for the cancer
Speaker 1: that Alex Trebek has I think five percent. But you
Speaker 1: heard him give that speech in a very Alex Trebec way,
Speaker 1: very understated and uh, just just the facts, just being
Speaker 1: upfront and and you know, rallying his audience, which is
Speaker 1: a very substantial on him. I think I think Trebec
Speaker 1: is one of those those rare fellows in the media
Speaker 1: who is pretty much universally liked and respected for what
Speaker 1: he's done. You know, he didn't and you know, he
Speaker 1: didn't decide to start a rock band in his sixties.
Speaker 1: You know, he didn't have some uh some you know,
Speaker 1: midlife crisis where he thought that he was actually a
Speaker 1: hip hop artist or something. But he's just been doing
Speaker 1: Jeopardy and doing it very well for a very long time.
Speaker 1: I guess it's it's a reminder for me, But why
Speaker 1: would this stick out to me? Rarely do I take
Speaker 1: much note of, you know, celebrities who who are dealing
Speaker 1: with you know, personal personal demons or dealing with in
Speaker 1: this case of personal health issue, because I have enough
Speaker 1: on my mind trying to be supportive to the people
Speaker 1: that I actually know in life and my own friends
Speaker 1: and family members. But I've told you this before. When
Speaker 1: Christopher Hitchens died, for example, that was one of the
Speaker 1: first times in my life where I thought, this is
Speaker 1: somebody who I've spent a lot of time with in
Speaker 1: terms of his work, and I just always thought that
Speaker 1: his work would always be there. And when it wasn't,
Speaker 1: I noticed, you know, that was one of the first
Speaker 1: times that that had ever happened to me where I thought, Oh,
Speaker 1: this person that I've built a connection to in my life,
Speaker 1: I mean, serve this role to sometimes educate, sometimes in rage.
Speaker 1: Sometimes I got very angry at what Hitchins is writing.
Speaker 1: Sometimes I was inspired by what he was writing. But
Speaker 1: this is a person whose work had a real effect
Speaker 1: on me. But I always just thought, you know, Hitchens
Speaker 1: would make it into his nineties. He's one of these
Speaker 1: guys who was a smoker, who said it didn't matter,
Speaker 1: and he drank a lot and all this stuff, and
Speaker 1: no he did not. I think he had esophageal cancer
Speaker 1: or some form of throat can so I can't remember
Speaker 1: now Trebec. It's the same thing. It's a reminder that
Speaker 1: we are all here on a temporary basis, my friends,
Speaker 1: we are all on borrowed time. All of us are
Speaker 1: going to have to deal with these kinds of weeks,
Speaker 1: either ourselves or for loved ones. So well, there's all
Speaker 1: this to do about what's going on on Capitol Hill,
Speaker 1: and I'm talking about the border and every though these
Speaker 1: things are important, which is why talking about them and
Speaker 1: understanding what's going on in this country around us really
Speaker 1: does matter. But it does matter even more that every
Speaker 1: day you think to yourself at some point in the day,
Speaker 1: a day above ground is a good day. And I
Speaker 1: have the ability to, in my own way, have a
Speaker 1: positive effect on those around me, to inspire people to
Speaker 1: be a little bit kinder to each other, to be
Speaker 1: helpful to people who are in need, and in some cases,
Speaker 1: maybe to entertain people that are having a really bad day,
Speaker 1: you know, to bring somebody else out of you know,
Speaker 1: you don't you don't know that that one nice comment
Speaker 1: you make to somebody in your office that might be
Speaker 1: to somebody who just found out that they have stage
Speaker 1: four pancreatic cancer. You just don't know. I think that's
Speaker 1: an important thing to remember. So we wish Trebec all
Speaker 1: the best in his fight. He is an American icon,
Speaker 1: and they say the odds are against him, but they
Speaker 1: don't know Trebec. I think he's going to pull through
Speaker 1: and he'll be doing Jeopardy for another twenty years. We'll
Speaker 1: be right back. So you recall, I think we had
Speaker 1: all my friend Benny Johnson from Turning Point USA to
Speaker 1: talk about this when it first happened. But there's this
Speaker 1: group that was trying to recruit conservatives on campus out
Speaker 1: at UC Berkeley, the birthplace of the free speech movement.
Speaker 1: It should be noted that that is now the place
Speaker 1: where if you try to convince people to listen to you,
Speaker 1: when you represent a solid oh m. Fifty percent or
Speaker 1: so of the country, you could get punched in the face.
Speaker 1: You could, in fact it punched in the face. And
Speaker 1: there was this, there was this incident. It was televised.
Speaker 1: The guy was very belligerent, very nasty, and really landed
Speaker 1: kind of a right cross on a on a young
Speaker 1: man's face out in Berkeley. And this is now a
Speaker 1: criminal case because they are going to bring charges because
Speaker 1: it turns out you aren't allowed. You are not, in
Speaker 1: fact allowed to punch a conservative in the face just
Speaker 1: because you don't like their conservatism. Zachary Greenberg is the
Speaker 1: alleged assailant, although there's very clear video of him punching
Speaker 1: somebody for no apparent reason, so I don't know how
Speaker 1: long it'll be alleged. They have had some press go
Speaker 1: up to mister Greenberg's well, go up to him and
Speaker 1: his attorney outside of the courthouse that I just want
Speaker 1: to play a little bit of how is this is
Speaker 1: not a good When your defense attorney stops to talk
Speaker 1: and has to talk like this, it's not a good
Speaker 1: sign in place sixteen mister Greenberg or council, any thoughts
Speaker 1: at this time about the punch and the charges the
Speaker 1: movie completed, not guilty or anything you want to say
Speaker 1: for yourself at this point you could direct the microphones
Speaker 1: in my way. Is there anything you can say? Mister
Speaker 1: Greenberg is a twenty eight year old man. He was
Speaker 1: using the library at you see briefly to study. I
Speaker 1: realize that many people observing this case are interested in
Speaker 1: constitutional freedom, and I would remind the one important constitutional
Speaker 1: freedom is the presumption of innocence due process of law.
Speaker 1: Due process in a courtroom, not on social media or
Speaker 1: the internet. With those remarks, I have no further comments
Speaker 1: at this time. Okay, so let me just say that
Speaker 1: is that when you're a lawyer, well your lawyer is
Speaker 1: I just want to remind everybody that we do have
Speaker 1: a presumption of innocence and there is a process. This
Speaker 1: is like, you know, Mike, if your lawyer did this,
Speaker 1: I think I think you should fire the lawyer. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she sounded really nervous, didn't she Like oh my, she
Speaker 1: was like she's like she did not want to be there.
Speaker 1: I was just waiting for to be like, I mean, yes,
Speaker 1: my client punched a kid in the face for no reason,
Speaker 1: and yes he's in a whole lot of trouble and
Speaker 1: I have no prayer of getting him out of it.
Speaker 1: But I just want to remind everybody in the video
Speaker 1: that like that he's standing there right next to her
Speaker 1: and he's just like like he's like acting like it's
Speaker 1: not even happening, and she's just looking at him like
Speaker 1: it was so awkward. I just felt like at any
Speaker 1: second she was going to turn to him and be
Speaker 1: like you know what I give he's guilty and just
Speaker 1: like walk away, That's what I mean exactly. She sounded
Speaker 1: like she's already had it. I mean day, they haven't
Speaker 1: even gone through any any parts, any stages of the process,
Speaker 1: and she's just like, oh gosh, what am I gonna do?
Speaker 1: This guy? But you know, he's charged with felony assault,
Speaker 1: felony battery, and felony criminal threats. They're actually going after
Speaker 1: him for his attack on Hayden Williams of the Leadership Institute.
Speaker 1: And you know, you don't ever want I had a
Speaker 1: friend a long time ago who was charged with just
Speaker 1: because he ran a fraternity house essentially and somebody got
Speaker 1: way too drunk. No one, no one was really injured
Speaker 1: or anything, but someone got way too drunk, and that
Speaker 1: the local authorities charging with operating a nuisance, which sounds like,
Speaker 1: you know, something that's not that terrible until you realize
Speaker 1: that it's a felony. And the moment that you're charged
Speaker 1: with a felony, it's just the whole thing because that
Speaker 1: stays with you. That's a problem. You can't just be like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll take that felony charge. You know, misdemeanors you can
Speaker 1: plead out and they can get them wipe from your
Speaker 1: record speaking of operating a nuisance. This was a great one.
Speaker 1: And I know that people look you all. If you
Speaker 1: listen to this show, you know that I love dogs.
Speaker 1: Dogs are one of my favorite things in life. I mean,
Speaker 1: if you're telling me my choices are between coffee and dogs,
Speaker 1: I mean I go dogs because coffee can't be your
Speaker 1: best friend, even though I'd be pretty irritable without my
Speaker 1: black Rifle coffee. That said, people who don't take care
Speaker 1: of their dogs properly and allow them to bark endlessly
Speaker 1: are a public nuisance. It's not okay, you can't have
Speaker 1: your dog. I'll go up your neighbors fans and whoo whoo,
Speaker 1: whoo whoo for hours and hours. I've had this problem
Speaker 1: before myself. And let me tell you it can happen
Speaker 1: at two o'clock in the morning. It and the police
Speaker 1: show up, and the police don't can't do anything, really,
Speaker 1: And a New Jersey town is proposing This is the
Speaker 1: town of Saddle River, which is a fancy New jerseytown.
Speaker 1: Oh hello, Saddle River, that if your dog barks for
Speaker 1: over twenty minutes continuously throughout the day, you could go
Speaker 1: to jail at night from ten pm to seven am.
Speaker 1: It is fifteen minutes of barking finds ranging up to
Speaker 1: a thousand dollars, but could also receive a service of
Speaker 1: community centers of community service, or even prison time. Now
Speaker 1: this is where my inner status kicks in smoking noise.
Speaker 1: I know this. I'm being ideologically inconsistent here. This is
Speaker 1: big government. I get it. But I might move to
Speaker 1: Saddle River just so I can be in a place
Speaker 1: where people can't let their dogs bark for hours on
Speaker 1: end roof, roof roof. There is nothing that'll drive you
Speaker 1: crazier than a neighbor with a dog that's barking at
Speaker 1: two am for two hours. What do you do your plugs? Please?
Speaker 1: I've tried to trust me. You know they didn't. Seinfeld,

Speaker 1: Park makes Al Gore sound. Like but like Beto, it's
Speaker 1: just like it's just oh, he's like he's so earnest,
Speaker 1: and Beto just wants like all the good things to
Speaker 1: happen for all the people. But like we're gonna have
Speaker 1: to come together and unite around the unity and the
Speaker 1: bringing together of the togetherness. And like maybe a lot
Speaker 1: of middle aged liberal women are excited to see my abs,
Speaker 1: so we'll have to do that too. That's pretty much Beto.
Speaker 1: Not much in that beyond Beto. Oh and also I
Speaker 1: married a woman who's worth like a few hundred million dollars.

Speaker 1: Carol Buck. You're firing on all cylinders. And last podcast,
Speaker 1: I heard those remarks by the purported CNN national security
Speaker 1: analyst Vinograd. I had some residual respect to her due
Speaker 1: to her titles under the Obama administration, but after hearing
Speaker 1: her remarks about President Trump SEPAC speech, I was incensed
Speaker 1: you properly characterized her. She's really taken with herself. She
Speaker 1: says some incredibly stupid stuff. The rest of your show
Speaker 1: was spot on, on fire. Thank you for all you do,
Speaker 1: Carol Am. Well, Carol Am, thank you for all you

Speaker 1: love your show, been a regular listener for a while. Now,
Speaker 1: could you cover the gun bill in North Carolina that
Speaker 1: has been brought up in the North Carolina House? Well,
Speaker 1: Nicholas thank you for your kind words about the show.
Speaker 1: I don't know anything about this North Carolina gun bill,
Speaker 1: so unfortunately I can't on the spot tell you anything
Speaker 1: about it. But producer Mike always notes when I make
Speaker 1: a promise on air, and so he's going to make
Speaker 1: sure that I get and get on that get into
Speaker 1: it asap. Catherine, Hey, Buck great, Jo, I'm on Tucker tonight.
Speaker 1: You are so adroit in getting the most ADOI I
Speaker 1: always want to make it all frenchy adroit in getting
Speaker 1: the most important points across in such a short time Shields.
Speaker 1: I always Katherine, well, thank you, Catherine, and I trying
Speaker 1: to make the most of whatever time I have on
Speaker 1: Big t S Show, on the Tuckman, the Tucker Runer,
Speaker 1: the Tucker Ruski. He is always I will tell you this.
Speaker 1: He's always fun on and off set, and is very
Speaker 1: nice to me and very encouraging. And I'm I'm a
Speaker 1: Tucker fan. I think he's great. He's really been very
Speaker 1: generous and really been cool. Since I've moved down here
Speaker 1: to DC and I've gotten a chance to meet him.
Speaker 1: I actually didn't know him before. I'd never oh, maybe
Speaker 1: I've met him a couple of times. Up in New York,
Speaker 1: but never really gotten a chance to talk to him much.
Speaker 1: Jennifer writes, Hey, they are a podcast listener here. You're
Speaker 1: wrong about Nirvana, But I don't come to you for
Speaker 1: your music. Fair point, Jennifer, fair point, I come for
Speaker 1: your saying in rational opinions. So maybe you can answer
Speaker 1: this for me. Why can't Trump put the wall funding
Speaker 1: in this by part as an infrastructure bill? We keep
Speaker 1: hearing about who's going to notice twenty five billion dollars
Speaker 1: for a wall in a one point seven trillion bill proposal? Jennifer,
Speaker 1: The Democrats will not allow it because it's such a
Speaker 1: politically sensitive issue for them, because it's a political win
Speaker 1: for Trump and they know that. So trust me, it's
Speaker 1: not possible to fit that in there. They would have
Speaker 1: a fit. They would freak out if Trump tried to
Speaker 1: put wall funding in there. I can't lie to you, folks.
Speaker 1: It's the situation. The border is really bad, and it's
Speaker 1: happening under the presidency where we were supposed to fix it.
Speaker 1: So that's disappointing. It's not over yet. I get it.
Speaker 1: I know that a lot of things are a right
Speaker 1: against Trump, but you know, we've we've also got to
Speaker 1: hold him to standards that he really set for himself.
Speaker 1: He said there'd be a wall, he said he'd secure
Speaker 1: the border. There isn't a wall on the border. Is
Speaker 1: the least secure that it's been in some ways, you
Speaker 1: could argue in the last decade plus. That's how bad
Speaker 1: things are right now. And it's not just because of
Speaker 1: the security mission there. Of course, there's this. The main
Speaker 1: main issue is this surge of migrants from the Northern
Speaker 1: Triangle countries Honduras, Guatemala, and Nicaragua. I don't know if
Speaker 1: the Triangle. Let me just make sure that before I
Speaker 1: tell you this, I don't want to tell you what
Speaker 1: the Northern Triangle countries are and then it turns out
Speaker 1: that I'm because Al Salvador is obviously right there as well.
Speaker 1: But I want to make sure that I'm telling you
Speaker 1: this right the Northern Triangle, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador. See
Speaker 1: it is not Nicaragua. After all. I gotta bring you
Speaker 1: the facts. I can't if I say, I will tell
Speaker 1: you this. And I hope that all of you, maybe
Speaker 1: you think this is just kind of OCD, you're weird.
Speaker 1: I hope you respect this. I feel badly whenever I
Speaker 1: say something that's factually wrong on the show, and I
Speaker 1: always try to come on the next day and correct
Speaker 1: it as long as I remember that I said something
Speaker 1: that's wrong. But I actually feel badly about it, like
Speaker 1: I've like I've let the team down a little bit.
Speaker 1: So I try really hard, guys, to not get things wrong,
Speaker 1: but unfortunately I am human. But yeah, the Northern Triangle
Speaker 1: is Guatemala, Honduras, Al Salvador. It is not Nicaragua. Now
Speaker 1: we know, and knowing is half the battle. Michael, Well,
Speaker 1: it's Michael, he writes, Buck this swoop and beard looking
Speaker 1: fierce last night on Tucker keep dropping those border tooth
Speaker 1: bombs shields A well, Michael, thank you so much. Man.
Speaker 1: I mean, the beard's coming in. It's a little it's
Speaker 1: still a little scraggly, it's still a little like hello, sir,
Speaker 1: I'd like to buy some of your finest wine coolers,
Speaker 1: perhaps the Zema. Yes, of course, I am over the
Speaker 1: age of twenty one years of age. Here is my identification.
Speaker 1: It is an operator's license from the island of Vanuatu.
Speaker 1: Not that I ever ever bought alcohol when I was underage. Guys, No, no, no, No,
Speaker 1: that's not a thing that I did. Growing up in
Speaker 1: New York City. Man, I know people that pre nine
Speaker 1: to eleven had such fake idea operations going on. You know,
Speaker 1: if if the Fed's ever decided to care, they would
Speaker 1: have really had a big problem on their hands. But
Speaker 1: some of the people run around New York City who
Speaker 1: are making making fakes, I'm pretty sure that get you
Speaker 1: in a lot of trouble. Now. Back in the nineties,
Speaker 1: I feel like people didn't really really care. But you know,
Speaker 1: I used to hear things. I used to see some
Speaker 1: of those fake ideas that people had and go, WHOA,
Speaker 1: that must have cost quite a penny. Now, whenever I
Speaker 1: see somebody who's under the age of thirty in a bar,
Speaker 1: I think to myself, Man, I'm getting old. I'm getting old.
Speaker 1: Uh let's see here. Well, we have a lot of
Speaker 1: people sending me links which I can't I can't always
Speaker 1: click on right away. Richard writes, Hello, my friend, Game
Speaker 1: of Thrones, question for you. You have a magic ice
Speaker 1: wall whose ice has been condensing for thousands of years.
Speaker 1: They used its magic to resurrect a guy and the
Speaker 1: dragonfire just cuts through it like nothing. It looked cool,
Speaker 1: but the science part of me was saying, w T H.
Speaker 1: Still I can't wait for next season. Do you think
Speaker 1: the books will ever get finished? Shields High? Winter is coming, Richard.
Speaker 1: You know, I haven't read any of the Game of
Speaker 1: Thrones books. And as for whether or not I think
Speaker 1: that things would go well for the you know, if
Speaker 1: things will go well in this season, I'm a little Look,
Speaker 1: they're spending a ton of money on it, so that's
Speaker 1: at least there's that. I think the production value is
Speaker 1: going to be as good as any movie you've ever seen,
Speaker 1: which is pretty amazing for a television show. That all said.
Speaker 1: The writing in the last season A Game of Thrones,
Speaker 1: and my opinion started to get a little bit hokey,
Speaker 1: you know, started to get a little week a little
Speaker 1: week sauce. You know the dragon that shows up, I
Speaker 1: mean it's the Dragon of Stealth Bomber, because that dragon
Speaker 1: moves real fast across west rows. I'm just saying, all
