WEBVTT - Unified Hysteria 0:00:10.840 --> 0:00:15.680 You are entering the freedom hunt. So Trump clarifies a 0:00:15.720 --> 0:00:18.680 little bit what he had to say to Putin in Helsinki. 0:00:18.760 --> 0:00:22.280 But guess what. The media is still so freaked out. 0:00:22.400 --> 0:00:25.720 They're saying it's the the equivalent of nine eleven Pearl 0:00:25.840 --> 0:00:30.319 Harbor and the Inquisition all wrapped into one. It's not true, 0:00:30.360 --> 0:00:32.120 of course, they just hate the President looking for a 0:00:32.159 --> 0:00:34.519 way to undermine them. We'll talk about the way forward 0:00:34.560 --> 0:00:37.199 from here, and also we're joined by Andy McCarthy from 0:00:37.280 --> 0:00:41.040 National Review and Judge Jeanine Pirou with some fantastic legal 0:00:41.040 --> 0:00:43.559 analysis of that Mueller probe that I'm more coming up 0:00:43.600 --> 0:00:47.320 on the Buck Sexon Show. This is the Buck Sexton Show, 0:00:47.680 --> 0:00:50.440 where the mission or mission is to decode what really 0:00:50.479 --> 0:00:57.240 matters with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake American, You're a 0:00:57.240 --> 0:01:02.400 great American. Again, The Buck Sexton Show began insectivate analysts. 0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:11.280 I realized that there is a need for some clarification. 0:01:12.280 --> 0:01:14.880 It should have been obvious. I thought it would be obvious, 0:01:14.880 --> 0:01:17.919 but I would like to clarify just in case it wasn't. 0:01:18.360 --> 0:01:21.800 In a key sentence in my remarks, I said the 0:01:21.800 --> 0:01:26.199 word would instead of wouldn't. The sentence should have been 0:01:26.480 --> 0:01:30.120 I don't see any reason why I wouldn't or why 0:01:30.280 --> 0:01:34.520 it wouldn't be Russian. So just to repeat it, I 0:01:34.640 --> 0:01:38.520 said the word would instead of wouldn't, and the sentence 0:01:38.520 --> 0:01:41.400 should have been, and I thought it would be maybe 0:01:41.440 --> 0:01:45.560 a little bit unclear on the transcript or unclear on 0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:49.120 the actual video, the sentence should have been, I don't 0:01:49.120 --> 0:01:53.520 see any reason why it wouldn't be Russian, sort of 0:01:53.520 --> 0:01:57.960 a double negative. So you can put that in and 0:01:58.040 --> 0:02:01.080 I think that probably clarifies things pretty good by itself. 0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:05.320 Welcome to the Buck Sexton Show. That was President Trump 0:02:06.240 --> 0:02:09.160 just a little bit before we went on air. Give 0:02:09.200 --> 0:02:11.000 it a press conference today. People are calling it a 0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:14.680 walk back, you can call it a clarification. But he's 0:02:14.680 --> 0:02:18.520 given a little additional detail on the press on on 0:02:18.560 --> 0:02:22.240 what he said at that press conference in hell Sinki, 0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:25.360 and he here's why this is so, This is so 0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:27.880 classic trauma. And people are gonna say a lot of 0:02:27.919 --> 0:02:31.320 things about this, like why did it take twenty four 0:02:31.360 --> 0:02:34.079 if it was a clarification about a word, why would 0:02:34.080 --> 0:02:36.880 it take twenty four hours to clarify that? For example, 0:02:36.919 --> 0:02:38.799 where was the White House Comms team on that? I 0:02:39.200 --> 0:02:42.000 know what everyone's gonna say. Here's Trump's version of this. 0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:48.360 He figures he knows what or rather he believes that 0:02:48.400 --> 0:02:50.560 people know what he was trying to say and why 0:02:50.600 --> 0:02:52.520 he was saying what he was saying, and if it's 0:02:52.520 --> 0:02:55.000 gonna make people feel a little bit better about the situation, 0:02:55.440 --> 0:02:58.320 he'll say, yeah, okay, fine, I believe the intel agencies. 0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:00.880 I get it. You know, America on the world stage. 0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:04.320 This wasn't the best messaging to sin But bottom line, 0:03:04.360 --> 0:03:06.320 I still think that there's a weird deep state cabal 0:03:06.400 --> 0:03:09.040 that tried to undermine my election, and I'm sick of 0:03:09.040 --> 0:03:11.280 these punks and the collusion thing is a joke and 0:03:11.360 --> 0:03:15.280 it's nonsense. Trump out like, that's kind of that's kind 0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:18.160 of what he's saying. That's his version of it. You know, Okay, 0:03:18.200 --> 0:03:21.080 I'll say, I changed the word, and you know, now 0:03:21.120 --> 0:03:23.919 we're now Is everyone happy? Is everybody happy? Now? They 0:03:23.919 --> 0:03:26.399 feel better? Now? They're everyone gonna calm down over this? 0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:29.880 The answers, of course, no, all right, we'll get to 0:03:29.919 --> 0:03:31.880 some of that. They're not gonna calm down. I've I 0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:34.120 have heard some of the craziest stuff in the last 0:03:34.120 --> 0:03:39.800 twenty four hours. In terms of political analysis, people are 0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:42.480 I'm actually starting to get worried about them, Like I 0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:45.520 don't know how they sleep at night, being so worked 0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:49.360 up over something that affects them not at all. And 0:03:49.400 --> 0:03:51.640 that is in the grand scheme of things, actually so 0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:54.880 very very minor. And I'm seeing all this other stuff. Now, 0:03:54.960 --> 0:03:57.640 all these experts are saying, well, policy doesn't matter, it's 0:03:57.680 --> 0:04:01.760 the words that matter. Okay, So now now we're in 0:04:01.760 --> 0:04:04.200 in in a in a world with Donald Trump. I 0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:07.360 just want to be very clear, if you oppose Trump, 0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:11.320 you're willing to now take the position that words speak 0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:15.880 louder than actions. Well, isn't that perfect? Isn't that very 0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:20.440 Orwellian for this particular era. And isn't it then fitting 0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:23.480 that Trump fights fights back with his own Orwellian twist 0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:26.000 of Okay, I said, would I should have said wouldn't 0:04:26.080 --> 0:04:30.039 or not wouldn't have instead of wouldn't not have or 0:04:30.320 --> 0:04:31.880 whatever it is that he's doing it. And he's like, 0:04:31.880 --> 0:04:33.680 all right, fine, we're gonna play this game. We'll play 0:04:33.680 --> 0:04:37.080 this game. It's gonna drive them nuts. He sends a 0:04:37.120 --> 0:04:39.640 signal to all of us who were saying, as I did, Yes, Ray, 0:04:39.680 --> 0:04:41.880 there's some stuff I didn't like, some stuff in the 0:04:41.880 --> 0:04:43.880 press conference a little bit Donald a little bit, a 0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:48.200 little bit off, but overall, no big deal, and I 0:04:48.240 --> 0:04:50.880 get what he's saying and everyone understands. And the media 0:04:51.000 --> 0:04:53.680 was baiting him with all these questions. They wanted him 0:04:53.680 --> 0:04:56.200 to be just spitting Putin's face, which would be idiotic. 0:04:56.600 --> 0:04:58.840 There's so much stupidity coming from the media and all 0:04:58.839 --> 0:05:01.279 this stuff. They're all they're just such a bunch of 0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:06.640 glorified hall monitors. But he said, yeah, okay, you know, 0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:08.800 we get it, we heard it. Okay, we we know. 0:05:09.600 --> 0:05:13.040 On the big lies, Gazi wasn't a terrorist attack. If 0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:15.320 you like your health care plan, you can keep your 0:05:15.320 --> 0:05:17.960 health care plan. You know, go go down, the go 0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:21.159 down a list of lies that actually matter to you 0:05:21.279 --> 0:05:23.600 in your day to day life, or should matter to 0:05:23.640 --> 0:05:26.159 the American people in their day to day lives. Media 0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:28.039 was m i A on most of that, you know, 0:05:28.160 --> 0:05:31.600 not not really a lot of attention paid. There's the 0:05:31.680 --> 0:05:33.479 old book. We covered it. Yeah, I know you covered it, 0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:35.800 but you covered the whole of this racist this raises 0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:39.120 troubling whatever it's the Democrat, let me tell you some 0:05:39.160 --> 0:05:42.400 of the tells, some of the giveaways. When media doesn't 0:05:42.400 --> 0:05:45.000 like something A Democrat does, but it's a Democrat. They'll 0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:50.000 say things like, oh, well, there's raises troubling questions. Troubling 0:05:50.120 --> 0:05:54.200 questions have been raised by this. This makes us uncomfortable. 0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:56.680 There are issues that stem from it. When a Republican 0:05:56.720 --> 0:05:59.279 does something, Democrats don't like it. It's nine eleven all 0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:04.360 over again. And oh my gosh, this is bloodier than 0:06:04.440 --> 0:06:07.719 Caesar's conquest of Gaul. I mean, they're really they lose 0:06:07.760 --> 0:06:10.200 their minds. And then when you say, well, you know, 0:06:10.240 --> 0:06:12.720 I think you're coverage of all normal. We covered both. 0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:16.320 We covered both as if the words and the intensity 0:06:16.560 --> 0:06:18.719 and the seriousness of the coverage don't matter at all. 0:06:19.800 --> 0:06:21.839 So they get all fixated on this thing with Trump 0:06:21.920 --> 0:06:24.200 yesterday about the intelligence agencies. As I said to you, 0:06:24.240 --> 0:06:26.360 and actually I did a buck wild today at at 0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:30.200 Hill dot TV on this one. Do we really think 0:06:30.240 --> 0:06:32.520 it's weird that Trump has a little bit of a 0:06:32.560 --> 0:06:34.440 sour taste in his mouth when it comes to the 0:06:34.520 --> 0:06:38.720 intel agencies. They've all come out as partisan hacks against him. 0:06:38.920 --> 0:06:42.080 My commune and my former community where I was trained 0:06:42.200 --> 0:06:45.560 and learned the craft of intelligence will never be the 0:06:45.640 --> 0:06:50.320 same because of all these hacks from the Obama administration. 0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:53.880 People say all book, but they're lifelong public servants. Not no, no, no, no. 0:06:54.120 --> 0:06:57.880 They were essentially Democrats sleeper agents the whole time, folks. 0:06:57.960 --> 0:07:01.159 That's what's really going on here, don't we see? It's 0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:04.760 just that with Obama gone, after eight years of obama Ism, 0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:07.679 and now everybody is on Twitter, everybody is a pundit. 0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:11.320 Now we see who these people really are. Brennan didn't 0:07:11.360 --> 0:07:14.200 just become a leftist yesterday. At least there's so much 0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:18.240 stupid argument out there. Brandon voted for a communist decades ago. 0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:20.760 Who does that? Who does that? I would even let 0:07:20.840 --> 0:07:22.680 him into the c I never, never mind let him 0:07:22.720 --> 0:07:27.240 run it. He's saying it's a treason, and that's a 0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:29.600 very serious charge. I would also point out that treason 0:07:29.640 --> 0:07:32.000 can be punishable by death. So when people keep saying that, 0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:34.680 you know that's the charge that they're applying here, what 0:07:35.000 --> 0:07:38.480 are they What are they getting at? Treason is a 0:07:38.640 --> 0:07:41.240 is a capital crime folks, under US federal code. So 0:07:42.080 --> 0:07:44.800 throwing that charge around is not something to be taken lightly. 0:07:44.840 --> 0:07:47.880 And they are straight they're straight up calling a botch 0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:50.960 press conference treason that wasn't even botched. That badly bow it. 0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:53.960 Don't get me wrong. I mean it wasn't great. That's 0:07:54.040 --> 0:07:55.760 up a little bit, but it wasn't like a big deal. 0:07:57.040 --> 0:07:59.320 And also it just gave us a twenty four hour 0:07:59.400 --> 0:08:01.960 period of you know, if the Democrats were serious people. 0:08:02.000 --> 0:08:04.840 I keep coming back to this notion of serious versus 0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:08.000 un serious. Okay, they are deeply un serious, as we 0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:12.160 see from Okazio Cortez for example, who thinks that because 0:08:12.240 --> 0:08:16.600 people have two jobs there's lower levels of unemployment. Now, 0:08:17.680 --> 0:08:20.920 the future of the Democratic Party. Everybody doesn't know something 0:08:20.960 --> 0:08:24.160 that in eighth grader should know about the economy and 0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:29.000 how we measure unemployment. But future future there never mind her? Yeah, 0:08:29.120 --> 0:08:33.600 like Israel and Palestine and like i' mean the occupation 0:08:33.840 --> 0:08:37.480 of Palestine and Israel, and that's just the stuff and 0:08:37.520 --> 0:08:41.360 the things and future the Democratic Party. There you go. 0:08:41.559 --> 0:08:43.120 But they want to lecture us on her. Oh we 0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:46.840 need people that are you know, that have more policy chops. Okay, 0:08:46.840 --> 0:08:49.880 that's fun, that's a fun conversation to have. You notice 0:08:49.880 --> 0:08:53.000 how quickly they swept that whole interview out of the way. 0:08:53.200 --> 0:08:57.280 For Okazia Cortes back to Trump, I'm I'm not trying 0:08:57.320 --> 0:08:59.240 to trying to divert from this. We're we're gonna work 0:08:59.240 --> 0:09:00.920 through this one together. Well, we've got our friend Anie 0:09:00.960 --> 0:09:02.920 McCarthy joining a little bit. He's going to talk about 0:09:03.000 --> 0:09:05.560 the arrest of a Russian national in d C that 0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:07.960 barely I mentioned on the show yesterday, barely even got covered, 0:09:09.160 --> 0:09:11.240 arrested as an agent of influence, trumped up stuff. By 0:09:11.280 --> 0:09:13.400 the way, from what I can see so far, it's 0:09:13.440 --> 0:09:16.880 just we are we are living in a new red scare, 0:09:17.920 --> 0:09:19.880 except we need to come up with a new term 0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:21.760 for it because they're not communists, right, but there but 0:09:21.840 --> 0:09:26.719 there is a there is a a fever swamp mentality 0:09:26.760 --> 0:09:29.520 among the Democrats now for anything Russia related. And that's 0:09:29.520 --> 0:09:32.679 why when I bring up things like, hey, you know, 0:09:32.800 --> 0:09:35.480 China has actually been a bigger is a bigger conventional 0:09:35.480 --> 0:09:40.240 military threat, a bigger cyber threat, a bigger economic rival, um, 0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:44.280 more damaging to our economy, more serious, a a foe 0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:47.400 on the world stage. There gon't always about China. We 0:09:47.400 --> 0:09:49.280 could walk and chew gum at the same time. Okay, yeah, 0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:52.880 but when it comes to Putin, you just want our 0:09:52.960 --> 0:09:56.320 president to to just go to go crazy and and 0:09:56.320 --> 0:09:58.240 and yell at him and do all these things. You know, 0:09:58.360 --> 0:10:03.640 Obama himself was clear on the point that you can't 0:10:03.679 --> 0:10:05.440 really do very much about it. What are you gonna do? 0:10:05.440 --> 0:10:08.240 You're gonna shame the president of Russia because they ran this. 0:10:08.320 --> 0:10:10.720 It was basically an intel operation, not a particularly big 0:10:10.720 --> 0:10:14.600 one and not a very sophisticated one either, not important 0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:17.640 enough for Obama to raise the alarm about it. You know, 0:10:17.720 --> 0:10:20.200 this is there's there's so much hypocrisy with them on this. 0:10:20.400 --> 0:10:23.400 If it was such a big deal, then what does 0:10:23.400 --> 0:10:26.040 it say about the Democrats that they were willing to 0:10:26.440 --> 0:10:28.480 when they were in charge of government, when they were 0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:31.160 in charge of national security, with the Obama administration calling 0:10:31.160 --> 0:10:34.760 the shots, they were gonna let this whole Russia intrusion, 0:10:34.840 --> 0:10:37.800 oh undermoting or democracy, or they were gonna let it 0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:41.880 slide because Hillary was gonna win. Do you do you 0:10:41.880 --> 0:10:44.480 would you let something, you know, would you let something 0:10:44.559 --> 0:10:47.800 slide because of that? Do you think that's a uh 0:10:47.840 --> 0:10:49.640 if it were the equivalent of nine other would you 0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:51.600 let nine eleven slide if you thought it was gonna 0:10:51.600 --> 0:10:55.960 help your putting? No, well, they're saying that stuff. They're 0:10:56.000 --> 0:11:00.079 out there going completely nuts. I mean, here this to 0:11:00.200 --> 0:11:01.760 give you a sense of where they are in all 0:11:01.760 --> 0:11:07.720 this place. Six FBI director continues, the investigation, Department of 0:11:07.800 --> 0:11:11.560 Justice continue support for the investigation. Congress continues saying that 0:11:11.600 --> 0:11:15.040 this investigation is legitimate. Curious point in American government when 0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:17.240 do we see almost a shadow government come out and 0:11:17.280 --> 0:11:19.960 say we cannot side with the government, whether it's the 0:11:20.000 --> 0:11:21.960 Cabinet or the Senate. I think that's the big question, 0:11:22.040 --> 0:11:25.000 and I agree with an earlier speaker. It's time for 0:11:25.040 --> 0:11:28.200 Americans to be out on the streets. We are under 0:11:28.240 --> 0:11:31.560 attack from Russia. If there were physical missiles, like during 0:11:31.559 --> 0:11:34.800 the missile missile Cristis, Americans would be in the streets 0:11:34.840 --> 0:11:37.559 and protesting and asking for the president to protect us. 0:11:37.840 --> 0:11:42.440 These are invisible missiles. These are digital missiles. These people 0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:47.800 are insane invisible missiles. We're talking about Facebook accounts that 0:11:47.840 --> 0:11:52.400 are saying things like maga and and and lock her 0:11:52.480 --> 0:11:57.480 up about Hillary, basically parting commonplace American political discourse during 0:11:57.520 --> 0:12:02.800 the election. Did digital missiles? I guess for the the 0:12:02.960 --> 0:12:06.400 snowflake is um of the left, and I guess because 0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:09.920 they believe that words they don't like equal violence. Maybe 0:12:09.960 --> 0:12:11.920 they are kind of like digital missiles, but it's only 0:12:11.960 --> 0:12:15.840 because they're crazy. No normal person would say these things. 0:12:15.960 --> 0:12:18.440 I will tell you I aren't here today on set. Uh. 0:12:18.679 --> 0:12:20.880 You'll remember him for his purple heart comment, which he 0:12:20.920 --> 0:12:23.800 already had to walk back, but Representative Cohen of I 0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:27.480 Believe Tennessee, and I was interviewing him today here in 0:12:27.520 --> 0:12:29.360 the swamp because I get a lot of a lot 0:12:29.360 --> 0:12:31.800 of swamp creatures now coming come past the hut, so 0:12:31.840 --> 0:12:34.079 I get to interview them. And I asked him, and 0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:35.600 we don't have the audios that didn't asked for it, 0:12:35.640 --> 0:12:37.400 but here's the gist of it. I said, so, what 0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:39.840 what should we do? People go, oh, my gosh, and 0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:42.760 digital missiles and you got you got Phil mud who's 0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:45.680 a former you know, Intel guy himself over at CNN 0:12:46.120 --> 0:12:50.000 yelling about how a shadow government should rise up. Excuse me, dude, 0:12:50.000 --> 0:12:52.360 I'm pretty sure it already did and it didn't work. 0:12:52.760 --> 0:12:54.880 And that's why they're so angry, and that's why they 0:12:54.920 --> 0:12:59.480 won't stop. I think, if you're Brennan, if you're Comy, 0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:01.520 if you're after, if you're some of these guys who 0:13:01.920 --> 0:13:03.800 who knows what they really did, what they really said, 0:13:03.840 --> 0:13:06.120 and the lengths they went to stop Trump from being elected. 0:13:06.240 --> 0:13:10.520 The only way you maintain any sense of your reputation 0:13:10.679 --> 0:13:12.880 and your own sense of your your I guess your 0:13:12.880 --> 0:13:15.720 ethics is if Trump is a clear and present danger 0:13:15.720 --> 0:13:19.040 of the United States, They're very invested in that narrative. 0:13:19.080 --> 0:13:20.640 You have to think, why are they so invested in it? 0:13:20.679 --> 0:13:22.720 They must have taken action under the premise that he 0:13:22.760 --> 0:13:25.200 was a clear in present danger and he's not. So 0:13:25.320 --> 0:13:29.400 what does that mean about what they did? But but 0:13:29.520 --> 0:13:32.360 I asked Cohen, I mentioned this. I asked Cohen and Nashville. 0:13:32.400 --> 0:13:34.280 I said, so, so, what should we do to respond? 0:13:35.400 --> 0:13:38.360 And he said, because he said, this is an act 0:13:38.360 --> 0:13:40.360 of war? I said, well, that's that's a cute phrase 0:13:40.400 --> 0:13:43.120 to throw around. That's that's got some really serious implications, though, 0:13:43.880 --> 0:13:46.719 how should we respond? Sitting congressman, sitting member of the 0:13:46.760 --> 0:13:51.200 Democrat Party and Judiciary Committee, by the way, so you know, 0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:53.959 not not just some slouch out of nowhere. What should 0:13:53.960 --> 0:13:57.800 we do because of these this this terrible intrusion undermining 0:13:57.800 --> 0:14:01.800 our democracy, which is just a fat was phrase to 0:14:01.880 --> 0:14:06.040 begin with? He said, we should we should engage in 0:14:06.080 --> 0:14:08.040 an active war. In response, and said, well, what do 0:14:08.080 --> 0:14:12.679 you mean, Oh, we should hack Russia's banking sector and 0:14:12.679 --> 0:14:16.160 shut it down, shut it all down. And I'm looking 0:14:16.160 --> 0:14:18.800 at this guy and for the first time I actually 0:14:18.800 --> 0:14:21.480 had a Democrat staring at me, who's saying we should 0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:27.600 invite the prospect of real war with Russia because Hillary 0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:31.000 didn't win the election and the Russians put up some 0:14:31.040 --> 0:14:34.680 Facebook accounts that were fake and got end Upidesta's email account. 0:14:34.880 --> 0:14:41.360 These people need help. Have they learned nothing? Uh, we're 0:14:41.400 --> 0:14:43.360 all of their anti war poses in the past just 0:14:43.400 --> 0:14:45.960 about being anti American. Yes, is the answer to that. 0:14:46.000 --> 0:14:51.520 By the way, you know what is this. Russia is 0:14:51.560 --> 0:14:55.080 not the economic power it was, it's not the military 0:14:55.120 --> 0:14:57.480 power it was, but it still has a few thousand 0:14:57.600 --> 0:15:01.160 nuclear weapons. We're gonna start playing chicken with them over 0:15:01.200 --> 0:15:06.240 this over you know, a razor thin election margin that 0:15:06.800 --> 0:15:09.360 we're gonna pretend was influenced by. I mean, if the 0:15:09.440 --> 0:15:12.920 Russians were able to pull off turning the election, they 0:15:12.960 --> 0:15:17.000 would be the most incredible pr geniuses. You know, this 0:15:17.080 --> 0:15:19.320 is like the equivalent of somebody's saying, Hey, I'm gonna 0:15:19.320 --> 0:15:22.200 take on Apple computers. I got a hundred dollars. Who's 0:15:22.240 --> 0:15:25.080 with me? I got a hundred dollars, Come on, I 0:15:25.080 --> 0:15:27.120 can do it. Right, Steve Jobs got nothing on me. 0:15:27.840 --> 0:15:31.080 People think you're crazy. That's what the Russians did an 0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:34.800 equivalent with this operation, and the Democrats are basically saying, 0:15:34.880 --> 0:15:36.640 let's go to war with Russia over They have lost 0:15:36.680 --> 0:15:39.040 their minds. I really mean this, and that's why Trump 0:15:39.160 --> 0:15:41.960 trolling a little bit today amuses me. I think it's 0:15:41.960 --> 0:15:44.280 good he clarifies the point. We'll get into this some 0:15:44.360 --> 0:15:45.400 more in a moment. As you can see, I'm a 0:15:45.400 --> 0:15:57.840 little fired up about this. Stay with me. It's just 0:15:57.960 --> 0:16:01.000 as serious to me as the Cuban missile crisis in 0:16:01.080 --> 0:16:04.360 terms of an attack or the nine eleven attack. The 0:16:04.440 --> 0:16:07.960 President is taking the side of the people who attacked 0:16:08.040 --> 0:16:11.640 us instead of trying to prevent a future attack. He 0:16:11.720 --> 0:16:14.800 has done nothing to make sure that the elections four 0:16:14.880 --> 0:16:17.280 months away are going to be safe. And I would 0:16:17.280 --> 0:16:20.680 say that his performance today will live in infamy as 0:16:20.800 --> 0:16:24.720 much as the Pearl Harbor attack or Crystal Knock. That 0:16:24.920 --> 0:16:27.200 was a former Water Day prosecutor they put on TV 0:16:27.360 --> 0:16:29.960 to make a jackass of herself. Not the only one. 0:16:30.560 --> 0:16:34.040 A lot of people running around just just be clowning themselves, 0:16:34.640 --> 0:16:38.480 clown clown all over the place. I have not seen 0:16:38.520 --> 0:16:42.760 anything like this in quite some time. Politico magazine with 0:16:42.920 --> 0:16:46.080 a big feature by Mark Hurtling, a general whom I 0:16:46.120 --> 0:16:48.800 remember from CNN from being on segments with him. But 0:16:48.920 --> 0:16:52.240 I thought to myself, Wow, some generals just aren't smart. 0:16:52.960 --> 0:16:57.000 And the piece here in Politico is Putin's attack on 0:16:57.080 --> 0:17:02.240 the US is our pearl harbor. M hmm. That's a 0:17:02.280 --> 0:17:05.159 piece that this guy who was a general wrote. Okay, 0:17:05.520 --> 0:17:08.600 does anyone to try to defend that this is our 0:17:08.640 --> 0:17:11.080 pearl harbor? Folks? That's what that's the stuff that they're saying, 0:17:11.359 --> 0:17:14.000 just just because apparently not a lot of folks on 0:17:14.040 --> 0:17:15.960 the left and the general the Warter, you know, they 0:17:16.000 --> 0:17:18.000 always have like one or two military guys because you 0:17:18.080 --> 0:17:20.720 always even know how most military people are conservative anyway, 0:17:20.840 --> 0:17:22.600 then one or two they'll just go along with whatever 0:17:22.680 --> 0:17:24.560 left says, right, because somebody's writing the checks in their 0:17:24.600 --> 0:17:27.560 former military of course right there out. But because they 0:17:27.560 --> 0:17:30.720 don't seem to spend much time looking at a real 0:17:30.840 --> 0:17:35.080 historical comparison here, they're gonna say that what happened with 0:17:35.160 --> 0:17:38.119 Russian meddling in the election. Remember we're talking Facebook accounts, 0:17:38.119 --> 0:17:41.080 Twitter accounts, and a phishing scam that hit a couple 0:17:41.080 --> 0:17:45.639 of email accounts. Okay, they're gonna compare that to uh, 0:17:45.760 --> 0:17:51.480 twenty four hundred people killed during Pearl Harbor, over eleven wounded, 0:17:52.480 --> 0:17:54.560 and then Pearl Harbor, by the way, launched a war 0:17:54.800 --> 0:17:58.000 that cost four hundred thousand plus American lives, six hundred 0:17:58.000 --> 0:18:01.880 thousand wounded, over to cost sixty million people their lives. 0:18:01.920 --> 0:18:05.000 They're gonna make this comparison. I mean, Crystal Knock, hundreds 0:18:05.040 --> 0:18:09.600 of people died, synagogues were we're we're burned down, dozens 0:18:09.640 --> 0:18:12.040 and dozens of synagogues burned down. They're gonna they're gonna 0:18:12.040 --> 0:18:14.520 talk about this seriously. These are real comparisons. Crystal Knock, 0:18:14.560 --> 0:18:18.840 of course, a harbinger of the Holocaust. How do these 0:18:18.880 --> 0:18:22.720 people take themselves serious? They shouldn't. They're un serious. They're 0:18:22.720 --> 0:18:25.959 not there. It's not just a question they have bad judgment. 0:18:26.080 --> 0:18:29.199 They just looked dumb. The people writing this stuff and 0:18:29.240 --> 0:18:32.879 saying this stuff, they just look like they're not very 0:18:32.880 --> 0:18:37.040 smart people. But they're still on TV, and somehow we're 0:18:37.040 --> 0:18:39.920 supposed to act like they are smart. I'm sorry, I'm 0:18:39.960 --> 0:18:51.760 not played along her differences in their testimony. In many cases, 0:18:51.840 --> 0:18:56.560 she admits that the text messages mean exactly what they say, 0:18:56.600 --> 0:19:01.200 as opposed to agents Struck, who thinks that we've all 0:19:01.240 --> 0:19:04.600 misinterpreted his own words on any text message that might 0:19:04.640 --> 0:19:07.680 be negative. Well, there's a news story you haven't heard 0:19:07.760 --> 0:19:12.320 much about. Remember that the paramour of Peter Struck that 0:19:12.440 --> 0:19:17.840 now generally I think considered disgraced FBI counterintelligence agent who 0:19:18.000 --> 0:19:21.720 was involved in that exchange of text messages as well 0:19:21.760 --> 0:19:25.520 as very important investigations Hillary Clinton's emails and the Russia 0:19:25.560 --> 0:19:29.760 collusion situation Lisa Page testified. Well, we've got that and 0:19:29.840 --> 0:19:32.480 some other important legal stories to get to that have 0:19:32.560 --> 0:19:35.600 been I think consumed so far or pushed aside by 0:19:35.640 --> 0:19:38.439 the news cycle. We've got Andy McCarthy with us now, 0:19:38.480 --> 0:19:40.240 the one and only you all know him from National 0:19:40.280 --> 0:19:43.520 Review or he's a senior writer also Fox News, where 0:19:43.520 --> 0:19:46.280 he's a contributor doing the best stuff on legal analysis 0:19:46.320 --> 0:19:49.480 out there. Andy, Great to have you back, Buck, always 0:19:49.480 --> 0:19:51.600 a pleasure. So just I know there's not a ton 0:19:51.640 --> 0:19:53.760 on this Lisa Page thing, but it does seem noteworthy 0:19:53.800 --> 0:19:56.199 that the Republicans are saying, well least she says what 0:19:56.280 --> 0:19:58.480 she writes is what she means, or what she wrote 0:19:58.560 --> 0:20:01.960 is what we think it is, yeah, Buck, So once 0:20:02.040 --> 0:20:07.639 I'm encouraged by silence, I wish we had more of it. Um. 0:20:07.640 --> 0:20:09.919 But it sounds to me like what what seems to 0:20:09.960 --> 0:20:14.400 be going on with miss Page is what you would 0:20:14.440 --> 0:20:18.480 hope would go on in most investigations that involve into 0:20:18.560 --> 0:20:22.200 viewing witnesses behind closed doors, which is there's an agreement 0:20:22.240 --> 0:20:24.919 that they're not going to leak the substance of what 0:20:25.119 --> 0:20:29.640 she says, uh, And there isn't any catterwauling apparently from 0:20:29.680 --> 0:20:33.320 either side about it. And the one thing that we're 0:20:33.359 --> 0:20:39.080 hearing is that she's apparently more forthcoming than uh Peter Struck. 0:20:39.280 --> 0:20:43.600 Was that she concedes that the she concedes the obvious, 0:20:43.600 --> 0:20:48.320 which which shows a measure of sophistication these days, that 0:20:48.600 --> 0:20:52.800 you know, what what was said in the free wheeling 0:20:53.160 --> 0:20:56.960 text is an accurate reflection that the text means what 0:20:57.000 --> 0:21:00.159 they say. And the one disturbing thing that I her 0:21:00.320 --> 0:21:02.080 that has come out, which doesn't have to do with 0:21:02.119 --> 0:21:05.760 the substance of her testimony, is that she was not 0:21:05.880 --> 0:21:09.000 made aware that the that the Congress wanted to speak 0:21:09.040 --> 0:21:13.880 to her. So evidently the the committees let the Justice 0:21:13.880 --> 0:21:17.199 Department in the FBI know some time ago that they 0:21:17.240 --> 0:21:20.840 would like to have a interview with her like they've 0:21:20.880 --> 0:21:23.639 been having with other witnesses, and they, according to her, 0:21:23.680 --> 0:21:27.760 at least from what we're reported. From what's reported, the 0:21:27.800 --> 0:21:30.640 Department did not pass that information along to her, which 0:21:30.680 --> 0:21:35.120 is disturbing. I can tell you as a former prosecutor, 0:21:35.760 --> 0:21:39.679 I always agreed in any trial, but especially as like 0:21:39.920 --> 0:21:45.439 organized crime trials or racketeering trials, terrorism trials, I always 0:21:45.480 --> 0:21:49.919 agreed to accept service for the government's witnesses because you 0:21:49.920 --> 0:21:52.600 don't want to have a situation where you know people 0:21:52.600 --> 0:21:55.440 are getting accosted by process service and stuff like that. 0:21:55.440 --> 0:21:58.359 That it's it's really irresponsible if that happened, that they 0:21:58.400 --> 0:22:01.640 didn't so that that at a minimum a mess up. 0:22:01.720 --> 0:22:04.480 Is there any more? Is there any other reason for it, 0:22:04.520 --> 0:22:10.640 andy or just bureaucratic screw up? I well, it's impossible, 0:22:10.720 --> 0:22:12.359 buck I think not to look at it in the 0:22:12.400 --> 0:22:15.960 context of everything else we've seen where the FBI and 0:22:16.000 --> 0:22:19.800 the Justice Department have slow walk disclosure, have refused to 0:22:19.840 --> 0:22:24.280 comply with subpoenas, have redacted documents in a nonsensible way, 0:22:24.760 --> 0:22:27.840 and have conducted themselves overall in a way that I 0:22:27.840 --> 0:22:31.919 think an objective person could assume that their slow walking 0:22:32.000 --> 0:22:35.560 nous hoping the Democrats win the mid terms and that 0:22:35.640 --> 0:22:40.520 the committee chairs change over to Democrats and the investigation 0:22:40.600 --> 0:22:42.840 goes away. And that's what I was thinking, but I 0:22:42.840 --> 0:22:45.080 wanted to hear the legal expert actually weigh on. So 0:22:45.119 --> 0:22:48.720 there we go, folks. Now, Andy, there's another big that's 0:22:48.720 --> 0:22:50.679 going to make sense to me. The law can just 0:22:50.920 --> 0:22:55.640 the law can just screw us up here, buck, I guess. Uh. So, 0:22:55.680 --> 0:22:58.639 you know, Andy, there's another big story out there that, well, 0:22:58.720 --> 0:23:00.439 it would be a lot bigger if we hadn't just 0:23:00.480 --> 0:23:04.359 had the the press conference in Helsinki, which a lot 0:23:04.400 --> 0:23:06.080 of us are just going to kind of hope to 0:23:06.119 --> 0:23:08.919 move on pass from uh. And and that is this 0:23:09.000 --> 0:23:13.280 story of Maria Boutina, a twenty nine year old Russian 0:23:13.280 --> 0:23:16.480 woman living here in Washington, d C. Have not had 0:23:16.480 --> 0:23:19.080 the chance to rub elbows with miss Boutina at a 0:23:19.080 --> 0:23:21.000 bar or anything yet, folks. So I can't tell you 0:23:21.000 --> 0:23:24.120 anything about her, not that I know of, correct. I mean, 0:23:24.200 --> 0:23:26.480 she might be under some other aliens or something. But 0:23:26.560 --> 0:23:29.200 Maria Bouttina, who is supposed to be studying America University, 0:23:29.240 --> 0:23:33.160 has been arrested by federal prosecutors for uh, not registering 0:23:33.200 --> 0:23:35.840 as a foreign agent and for essentially being an agent 0:23:36.040 --> 0:23:40.720 of influence. Andy, what the heck is this all about? Well, 0:23:40.760 --> 0:23:44.359 you know, Buck, it happens that back in January, which 0:23:44.480 --> 0:23:46.679 the way our news cycles go today feels like a 0:23:46.720 --> 0:23:50.840 thousand years ago. Um. I actually wrote a column about 0:23:50.880 --> 0:23:55.400 Maria Bouttina because the press was trying to drum her 0:23:55.480 --> 0:23:58.560 up at the time as as what I called collusion 0:23:58.640 --> 0:24:02.080 three point oh, you know, the carter page theory didn't work, 0:24:02.119 --> 0:24:04.720 and then they went to the papadopolist theory, and it 0:24:04.760 --> 0:24:08.120 seemed to me that Boutina was was three point oh, 0:24:08.160 --> 0:24:12.840 the idea of being in a nutshell, that she was 0:24:12.960 --> 0:24:17.960 using the n r A as a potential conduit, uh, 0:24:18.359 --> 0:24:21.000 between the I mean, it's hard to wrap your brain 0:24:21.040 --> 0:24:24.400 around this, between the Trump campaign and the Russian regime, 0:24:24.600 --> 0:24:27.240 and there may have been exchanges of money and and 0:24:27.560 --> 0:24:31.160 that kind of thing to defeat them, to help Russia. 0:24:31.320 --> 0:24:35.439 Russia using the n r A to defeat the the 0:24:35.480 --> 0:24:41.119 prescriptions against foreign Interference and campaigns and the like. Um 0:24:41.160 --> 0:24:43.200 And I think the one thing that we can say 0:24:43.200 --> 0:24:46.679 about this that's significant is the fact that this is 0:24:46.720 --> 0:24:50.840 not part of Mueller's investigation. So what would seem to 0:24:50.840 --> 0:24:53.400 me that this is yet another angle that's been floated 0:24:53.440 --> 0:24:58.000 as potential collusion angle. Uh, and that turns out to 0:24:58.040 --> 0:25:01.360 be a dry hole for those hoping that the smoking 0:25:01.400 --> 0:25:06.480 gun someday, someway someplace will emerge. Now, how much trouble 0:25:07.160 --> 0:25:09.240 would she be in here? And I mean this Brie 0:25:09.280 --> 0:25:12.240 Betina is a Russian national. She didn't I mean she 0:25:12.320 --> 0:25:15.120 might have not registered as a foreign agent at FARA, 0:25:15.240 --> 0:25:17.639 violation which has also been a problem for General Flynn 0:25:17.680 --> 0:25:21.720 and others, but is usually not something that is prosecuted 0:25:21.720 --> 0:25:24.199 with with a lot of seriousness or prosecutor at all. 0:25:24.240 --> 0:25:27.080 They usually right to give you the opportunity to make amends. Uh. 0:25:27.119 --> 0:25:29.959 They also are getting around some kind of a conspiracy charge, 0:25:30.000 --> 0:25:32.440 a kind of broad sweeping conspiracy I guess against the 0:25:32.480 --> 0:25:35.399 US government. But she didn't try to steal any secrets. 0:25:35.440 --> 0:25:39.800 She wasn't an espionage agent. So how much trouble is 0:25:39.800 --> 0:25:44.280 she in here? Well, you know, I I don't think 0:25:44.320 --> 0:25:46.960 she has a criminal record. They don't look to me 0:25:47.080 --> 0:25:49.960 like overwhelming charges. She could be in a fair amount 0:25:49.960 --> 0:25:54.480 of trouble. It certainly does look like um A Moeller 0:25:55.480 --> 0:25:59.879 flash Wiseman type indictment in that they love this CONSI 0:26:00.040 --> 0:26:02.400 ver Sey against the United States charge, which I think 0:26:02.480 --> 0:26:07.200 is a really troubling invention, but they seem to use 0:26:07.240 --> 0:26:09.600 it in every case. But it's you know, it's the 0:26:09.680 --> 0:26:13.080 kind of charges that we've seen before that haven't previously 0:26:13.119 --> 0:26:17.639 been treated as crimes. Uh. And I think that, you know, 0:26:17.880 --> 0:26:21.199 if you're dealing with somebody who hasn't doesn't have an 0:26:21.200 --> 0:26:26.560 extensive criminal record and charges that are usually not brought 0:26:26.680 --> 0:26:31.320 or activity that's not usually treated as criminal, uh, she's 0:26:31.720 --> 0:26:35.280 probably not in a world of trouble. But I think, 0:26:35.680 --> 0:26:38.399 you know, in terms of the bigger picture for the 0:26:38.480 --> 0:26:41.239 country as opposed to to for her, I think the 0:26:41.240 --> 0:26:44.200 news of it is that she's you know, that collusion 0:26:44.240 --> 0:26:49.119 angle is is just not there. Andy, at this point, 0:26:50.400 --> 0:26:52.680 what kind of confidence do you have at the Mueller probe? 0:26:52.760 --> 0:26:56.679 Is is on the the I mean, I mean Mueller 0:26:56.800 --> 0:27:01.280 himself and his actions, that they're on the straight and arrow. Well, 0:27:01.320 --> 0:27:03.639 I've never thought they were on the straight and narrow. 0:27:03.640 --> 0:27:08.199 I thought that Mueller personally is a uh is a 0:27:08.240 --> 0:27:11.000 person who is scrupulous, at least in my experience. And 0:27:11.080 --> 0:27:13.199 I said that when he was appointed I think he 0:27:13.240 --> 0:27:16.280 had a tenure with the people that he recruited, and 0:27:16.320 --> 0:27:18.479 some of the things that have gone on in the 0:27:18.520 --> 0:27:22.159 investigation book I think have been very, very troubling. I 0:27:22.200 --> 0:27:27.000 think the fact of this indictment against these Russians is 0:27:27.119 --> 0:27:30.200 very troubling because it seems to me that's the kind 0:27:30.200 --> 0:27:33.840 of thing that we don't indict. It's use the twelve 0:27:33.880 --> 0:27:35.960 guys from last week. For everybody listening, And I know 0:27:36.000 --> 0:27:37.679 you wrote a piece about this last review, and you 0:27:37.720 --> 0:27:40.600 go ahead, yeah, And I think this is the natural 0:27:40.720 --> 0:27:45.840 logical consummation of their misuse of the counter intelligence authorities 0:27:45.880 --> 0:27:48.200 to do the investigation in the first place. Now they're 0:27:48.200 --> 0:27:52.560 indicting things that we're not supposed to indict because they're 0:27:52.600 --> 0:27:59.359 not the When foreign agents, foreign officials commit aggressive acts 0:27:59.359 --> 0:28:02.320 against the States, that's not a law enforcement issue. That 0:28:02.359 --> 0:28:05.000 there's other ways that we deal with that sort of thing. 0:28:05.400 --> 0:28:07.320 And it seems to me that Muller is doing it 0:28:07.760 --> 0:28:10.560 because he figures he's got a free pass. These guys 0:28:10.560 --> 0:28:13.440 are never going to trial. So when there's an indictment 0:28:13.520 --> 0:28:17.160 that that is for a case that's never going to happen, 0:28:17.200 --> 0:28:19.280 I always think that that's more of a press release 0:28:19.320 --> 0:28:21.880 than a charging instrument. Yeah, and Andy, as a former 0:28:21.920 --> 0:28:25.040 mental guy, this whole thing strikes me as as almost 0:28:25.359 --> 0:28:28.840 as preposterous. Quite honestly, we're gonna tell the Russians, hey, 0:28:29.200 --> 0:28:31.879 the assuming they were acting on Putin's orders or right, 0:28:31.920 --> 0:28:33.680 they were doing the bidding of the Kremlin here putting 0:28:33.680 --> 0:28:35.440 aside everything else about how oh, it's a threat to 0:28:35.520 --> 0:28:39.040 our democracy. The notion that the Kremlin would hand over 0:28:39.280 --> 0:28:42.479 g r U agents for doing the Kremlin's bidding because 0:28:42.560 --> 0:28:46.880 we say so is is completely bonkers. I mean, we 0:28:46.920 --> 0:28:49.120 would never do that on our side. We would never 0:28:49.200 --> 0:28:53.200 hand over our people to another government. Buck. I think 0:28:53.240 --> 0:28:55.800 it's worse. I mean, think about and I agree with 0:28:55.880 --> 0:28:59.280 everything you just said emphatically, but but I just would 0:28:59.320 --> 0:29:02.360 add to it. Think about when you were an intel guy, 0:29:02.480 --> 0:29:05.040 how thrilled you would have been to hear that we're 0:29:05.120 --> 0:29:08.880 now suddenly changing the rules of the game so that UH, 0:29:09.280 --> 0:29:13.760 intelligence operatives and government officials of other governments pursuing the 0:29:13.920 --> 0:29:16.200 interests of their country are now going to be subject 0:29:16.280 --> 0:29:20.480 to arrest when the domestic domestic politics of some country 0:29:21.200 --> 0:29:24.560 UH indicates that it's a good idea to charge them 0:29:24.600 --> 0:29:27.160 with a crime. Yeah, it's a non starter. It's a nightmare, 0:29:27.200 --> 0:29:31.120 no way. Yeah, I think it's really bad. I mean, 0:29:31.560 --> 0:29:37.600 considering that are government is more active in the world 0:29:37.680 --> 0:29:41.280 than any other government on earth, it really seems to 0:29:41.360 --> 0:29:45.160 me that it's it's a very reckless thing to change 0:29:45.200 --> 0:29:47.960 the rules of the game this way, and to do 0:29:48.160 --> 0:29:50.120 it for what seems to me to be nothing but 0:29:50.440 --> 0:29:55.320 but but nakedly political purposes, and to justify the existence 0:29:55.360 --> 0:29:59.360 of Muller's investigation. I just think it's a reckless thing 0:29:59.440 --> 0:30:02.000 to do. Do you have any sense of of how 0:30:02.080 --> 0:30:05.240 much longer we have to suffer through this this you know, 0:30:05.600 --> 0:30:10.720 national uh water torture of just drip, drip drip, trying 0:30:10.720 --> 0:30:12.160 to figure out what's going on here with Muller. Do 0:30:12.200 --> 0:30:13.920 you have any any sense andy of how much longer 0:30:13.920 --> 0:30:16.160 we have to go through this buck You know, for 0:30:16.280 --> 0:30:18.440 the first time, I'm getting a sense that it may 0:30:18.520 --> 0:30:21.760 actually be winding down, because I really think that the 0:30:22.000 --> 0:30:25.600 upside of that indictment, if there is one, is that 0:30:25.800 --> 0:30:27.920 the logic of it is that there can't be the 0:30:28.000 --> 0:30:32.040 kind of a collision case that that was fantasized over 0:30:32.160 --> 0:30:34.760 from the start. And it does seem to me that 0:30:34.880 --> 0:30:37.320 this flurry of activity, which they're clearly trying to do 0:30:37.480 --> 0:30:43.200 before the mid terms get into their kind of stretch run. Uh. 0:30:43.360 --> 0:30:47.160 It looks to me like he's trying to wrap up. 0:30:47.280 --> 0:30:52.040 Perhaps he's decided that there's no conspiracy to commit espionage 0:30:52.040 --> 0:30:55.600 against the Trump people. Uh. I've I've thought all along 0:30:55.680 --> 0:31:00.360 that the obstruction thing was legally nonsense. Uh. And there's 0:31:00.400 --> 0:31:03.960 no case to pursue against President Trump except to write 0:31:04.000 --> 0:31:06.239 a report that the you know, the House can use 0:31:06.360 --> 0:31:09.640 or whatever it wants to use it for. Uh. It 0:31:09.800 --> 0:31:12.239 may be that he's actually trying to get this thing 0:31:12.320 --> 0:31:14.920 wrapped up. And if he if he is, I think 0:31:14.960 --> 0:31:17.400 that would be for all the other things that have 0:31:17.520 --> 0:31:19.280 been said, it would be a credit to moll Or 0:31:19.320 --> 0:31:22.840 if he realizes that his investigation is doing damage to 0:31:22.960 --> 0:31:25.720 the ability of this government to function and he needs 0:31:25.800 --> 0:31:29.480 to wrap it up. Andy, if one last thing before 0:31:29.480 --> 0:31:31.480 we let you go, and everyone should read Andy's latest 0:31:31.520 --> 0:31:33.480 and National Review dot com. Also you'll see him on 0:31:33.520 --> 0:31:37.320 Fox News. Just watch Fox. Uh. Andy, if the President 0:31:37.360 --> 0:31:39.920 came to you after the end this whole thing and said, 0:31:39.960 --> 0:31:42.440 all right, Andy, do you recommend of all the people 0:31:42.480 --> 0:31:45.040 caught up in this smaller thing, is there anyone you 0:31:45.160 --> 0:31:47.440 recommend that I pardon, which we all know he could do. 0:31:48.080 --> 0:31:49.720 Is there anyone that is there anyone that you would 0:31:49.920 --> 0:31:54.240 drop as a name. Yeah, I've said slightly and publicly 0:31:54.320 --> 0:31:57.880 I think General Flint should be pardoned, and I think 0:31:57.960 --> 0:32:03.680 it's it's terrible that the politics of things are such 0:32:03.800 --> 0:32:06.360 that he can't be pardoned this minute, because I don't 0:32:06.400 --> 0:32:09.160 think his pardon. I don't think it should have awaited 0:32:09.640 --> 0:32:15.200 his indictment. But I certainly think under all the circumstances, 0:32:15.760 --> 0:32:18.440 given that the FBI didn't think that the agents who 0:32:18.480 --> 0:32:21.600 interviewed him didn't think that he lied, he didn't do 0:32:21.720 --> 0:32:27.520 anything wrong. They pursued him on a preposterous Logan Act theory, 0:32:28.120 --> 0:32:33.840 and his prosecution was, to my mind, blatantly political. I 0:32:33.960 --> 0:32:36.640 think he should already have been pardoned, and I've certainly pardoned. 0:32:36.720 --> 0:32:40.920 I pardoned General Flynn yesterday. All Right, Well, I agree 0:32:40.920 --> 0:32:42.720 with you. So there's that I didn't know Andy took 0:32:42.800 --> 0:32:45.080 that position publicly, but I agree with the most preser Andy, 0:32:45.160 --> 0:32:47.040 thank you so much for joining us to come back soon. 0:32:48.480 --> 0:32:52.120 My pleasure to take care Phil. Alright, team, we've got 0:32:52.120 --> 0:32:55.280 a lot more coming up, including Judge Janine. It's going 0:32:55.320 --> 0:32:57.280 to be joining us. WHOA, that's gonna be a party, 0:32:57.360 --> 0:32:58.800 Get excited for that. But you're all the judge you 0:32:58.840 --> 0:33:00.600 need from Foxnaw, he's got a lot of legal egals 0:33:00.640 --> 0:33:15.760 on the show tonight. We'll be right back, all right. 0:33:15.760 --> 0:33:21.320 We got a call from Patrick in Wabash, Indiana. Hey Patrick, Yes, Uh, 0:33:21.960 --> 0:33:26.800 Andy McCarthy uh sworped into what I'm going to talk about. 0:33:27.760 --> 0:33:34.320 The Mueller um fishing expedition has told us that the 0:33:34.480 --> 0:33:40.520 Russian collusion supposedly with Trump didn't change one vote, unlike 0:33:40.720 --> 0:33:45.600 the Democrats in Detroit. I heard this on w W 0:33:46.400 --> 0:33:53.920 News that the Democrats got all of the votes in 0:33:54.040 --> 0:33:57.760 certain precincts, but even worse than that, they got more 0:33:57.920 --> 0:34:01.880 votes than there were people in the pre think. Yeah, well, 0:34:01.920 --> 0:34:03.800 they tell us that there's Patrick that that they claim 0:34:03.840 --> 0:34:06.560 there's no voter fraud, right, They say voter fraud doesn't exist. 0:34:06.840 --> 0:34:08.840 And then I say, well, why are people going to 0:34:08.960 --> 0:34:12.319 prison every every year for voter fraud? And they say, okay, 0:34:12.360 --> 0:34:14.319 well there's some voter fraud, but it's not that much. 0:34:14.760 --> 0:34:18.520 You know, they're they're dishonest about that. And on the 0:34:18.600 --> 0:34:20.960 Mueller probe and Patrick, thank you for calling it From 0:34:21.000 --> 0:34:25.080 Indiana on the on the Mueller Probe book there they're uh, 0:34:25.800 --> 0:34:27.960 they're dug in folks. You just said, and and he's 0:34:27.960 --> 0:34:31.040 a very fair minded guy, very knowledge but also very 0:34:31.080 --> 0:34:33.400 fair minded. You know, I've you've those of you been 0:34:33.400 --> 0:34:34.640 listening to the show for a while. Though. I've tried 0:34:34.680 --> 0:34:36.319 to push him, Andy, you know, come on, are these guys, 0:34:36.400 --> 0:34:38.160 what's going on? What's going on? I really want to know, 0:34:38.480 --> 0:34:40.480 you know, I really wanted his his assessment of it. 0:34:40.600 --> 0:34:42.680 Not I'm not asking for him to you know, preach 0:34:42.719 --> 0:34:46.160 to the choir. And you know, he said he him 0:34:46.160 --> 0:34:48.920 and I have had disagreements. He thought that you know, 0:34:49.000 --> 0:34:52.120 Patrick Fitzgerald for example, back in the day, was you know, 0:34:52.160 --> 0:34:54.520 a guy who was pretty on the up and up, 0:34:54.560 --> 0:34:56.960 and I felt like Fitzgerald was a political headhunter. So 0:34:57.040 --> 0:34:59.000 and any of it. We've disagreed on some of this stuff. 0:34:59.760 --> 0:35:01.120 But you heard what he said in the Mamma Probe. 0:35:01.160 --> 0:35:04.160 He's like, this is just this is just out of control. 0:35:05.120 --> 0:35:07.000 And you know when Andy says that, I really think 0:35:07.000 --> 0:35:09.040 you can take it to the bank, because if he believed, 0:35:09.400 --> 0:35:11.480 you know, he wrote a piece on Nashvillbe He's saying, look, 0:35:11.480 --> 0:35:14.400 I think Trump's Helsinki summit was ill conceived and ill executed, 0:35:15.120 --> 0:35:17.280 so you know he'll call he calls balls and strikes. 0:35:17.360 --> 0:35:19.200 But he also says the Mueller probe is this is 0:35:19.239 --> 0:35:21.359 a travesty, folks. It's an injustice. It really is at 0:35:21.400 --> 0:35:24.120 this point, and it's it's harming the country. You know, 0:35:24.239 --> 0:35:26.520 it's not too our benefit to have this be the situation. 0:35:26.680 --> 0:35:28.600 So we got some more on this. Judge Janine is 0:35:28.600 --> 0:35:30.360 gonna be joining the next hour. We've also got the 0:35:30.440 --> 0:35:35.200 return of President Obama.

We'll have some interesting 0:35:40.239 --> 0:35:42.400 conversation about that though. The third hour. By the way, 0:35:42.440 --> 0:35:45.160 we're gonna revisit that story about how the Papa John's 0:35:45.200 --> 0:35:48.560 founder got booted out of his company for the racial slur. 0:35:48.640 --> 0:35:50.759 There's an update on that I think is worth our time. 0:35:51.400 --> 0:35:54.560 And uh, I've got some other stuff, including the government 0:35:55.440 --> 0:35:58.760 weighing in on international politics. That's right all Schwarzenegger himself. 0:35:59.320 --> 0:36:04.000 So third hour is gonna be amazing too.

Buck Sexton Mission decoding the 0:37:12.440 --> 0:37:19.760 news and disseminating information with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake, America, 0:37:20.640 --> 0:37:24.239 You're a great American again. This is the Buck Sexton Show. 0:37:25.840 --> 0:37:35.120 Analysts who are the people that started this. James Clapper, 0:37:35.160 --> 0:37:37.720 who lied to the Senate said they weren't collecting our information, 0:37:38.000 --> 0:37:40.160 and yet they were collecting all of our information and 0:37:40.280 --> 0:37:43.920 housing in Utah. John Brennan has now accused John Let 0:37:44.000 --> 0:37:47.040 me finish. John Brennan has now accused the president of treason. 0:37:47.360 --> 0:37:49.840 This is John Brennan who voted for the Communist Party 0:37:49.880 --> 0:37:52.239 when he was a young man. John Brennan now thinks 0:37:52.280 --> 0:37:54.960 he's holier than everybody else. But these people had the 0:37:55.040 --> 0:37:58.320 power to collect every Americans information, and these are the 0:37:58.400 --> 0:38:01.840 people I am concerned to use their bias against President Trump, 0:38:02.080 --> 0:38:05.319 and absolutely I'm with the President on this. The intelligence 0:38:05.360 --> 0:38:09.280 community was full of biased people, including Peter Start McCabe 0:38:09.440 --> 0:38:13.719 and dozens of others. HI five for rand Paul everybody. 0:38:14.960 --> 0:38:17.200 Why is he the only one that really sees this 0:38:17.400 --> 0:38:21.880 for what it is? Why is he the only Republican 0:38:21.960 --> 0:38:25.799 that will stand up and point out what really matters here, 0:38:26.680 --> 0:38:30.480 which is the effort to destroy the Trump administration from 0:38:30.560 --> 0:38:34.200 former government officials, including the most senior intelligence officials in 0:38:34.280 --> 0:38:37.600 the United States government, who, by the way, we're using 0:38:37.640 --> 0:38:41.279 their government position to fabricate the collusion narrative that they 0:38:41.320 --> 0:38:44.160 are now tweeting about and puntiting about on the various 0:38:44.200 --> 0:38:49.720 cable networks. What why just why only Rant Paul everyone 0:38:49.760 --> 0:38:52.480 else running scared for cover. You know, say what you 0:38:52.520 --> 0:38:55.480 will about Democrats, and I say a lot, but you'll 0:38:55.560 --> 0:38:58.839 notice how they take care of their own and Republicans 0:38:59.280 --> 0:39:07.680 love to lay the Holy earthen thou game o merchant, McConnell, McConnell, 0:39:08.760 --> 0:39:13.200 indisputable evidence, here's what. Here's what the GOP Senate majority 0:39:13.320 --> 0:39:16.759 leader had to say about stuff play clip, the annexation, 0:39:17.440 --> 0:39:24.760 the invasion of eastern Ukraine, not to mention the indisputable 0:39:24.800 --> 0:39:30.680 evidence ernest that they tried to impact the sixteen election. 0:39:31.840 --> 0:39:34.520 So make no mistake about it. I would say to 0:39:34.560 --> 0:39:39.400 our friends in Europe, um, we understand the Russian threat. 0:39:40.960 --> 0:39:44.759 And I think that is the widespread view here in 0:39:44.800 --> 0:39:49.279 the United States Senate among members of both parties. The 0:39:49.520 --> 0:39:52.600 Russian threat is greatly exaggerated right now. That's the truth. 0:39:53.360 --> 0:39:55.480 And I don't know why Mitch McCarney, every everyone likes 0:39:55.520 --> 0:39:57.400 to do this thing. You know, they're all behind Trump 0:39:57.560 --> 0:40:02.319 until there's any resistance, there's any any issue, and then 0:40:02.520 --> 0:40:05.640 they're all just lining up to release statements to release statements. 0:40:06.280 --> 0:40:08.400 You know, we don't need all your Republican statements trashing 0:40:08.440 --> 0:40:12.040 their president United States. Okay, he gets it, he clarified, 0:40:12.080 --> 0:40:14.439 he walked back. Whatever you want to say. Today wasn't 0:40:14.480 --> 0:40:17.560 a good press conference. But he's also got the entire 0:40:17.600 --> 0:40:22.120 press corps doing everything they can to just to ruin 0:40:22.200 --> 0:40:24.960 his presidency. And they hurt. Then they don't care who 0:40:24.960 --> 0:40:26.359 gets hurt in the process. They don't care who goes 0:40:26.360 --> 0:40:28.439 to prison, They don't care what this does the American people, 0:40:28.480 --> 0:40:30.520 the American economy. They just want their way. They're like 0:40:30.560 --> 0:40:35.120 a bunch of frightening toddlers that have still way too 0:40:35.200 --> 0:40:38.160 much sway and authority in American society, and they're angry 0:40:38.200 --> 0:40:41.560 because they want their power back. Ram Paul seems to 0:40:41.600 --> 0:40:43.560 get it. And why is he the only one who's 0:40:43.560 --> 0:40:45.040 calling out the fact that there is a deep state? 0:40:45.080 --> 0:40:46.799 I remember when people were talking about the deep state 0:40:46.840 --> 0:40:50.800 like it was some crazy conspiracy. And now what do 0:40:50.880 --> 0:40:53.200 we call it? When senior government officials were working to 0:40:53.280 --> 0:40:55.520 undermine an incoming presidency in this country? What do you 0:40:55.600 --> 0:40:59.640 call that? What do we call the fies? A warrants 0:40:59.640 --> 0:41:02.320 against harder page laughable stuff? I mean, this is crazy 0:41:03.920 --> 0:41:07.120 going after Carter Page. He's the center of some international 0:41:07.239 --> 0:41:10.600 conspiracy to these people, I mean, I really mean this. 0:41:10.680 --> 0:41:13.960 Are are they taking large amounts of recreational drugs before 0:41:14.000 --> 0:41:16.960 they're signing off on these five A warrants? These FBI 0:41:17.120 --> 0:41:19.200 agents that are part of this process, that they feel 0:41:19.200 --> 0:41:21.080 good about themselves at night, like they're really defending the 0:41:21.160 --> 0:41:25.839 country from Carter Page. And that's what all this has been. 0:41:26.320 --> 0:41:28.640 You know, remember the whole collusion part of this is 0:41:28.640 --> 0:41:30.960 the only reason you've got a special counsel. Now they're 0:41:31.000 --> 0:41:33.000 falling back on the Oh, it's just about Russian interference. 0:41:33.080 --> 0:41:37.160 Russian interference is wildly exaggerated. It's not that important, it 0:41:37.239 --> 0:41:40.880 doesn't really matter, and we can't stop it. So what 0:41:40.960 --> 0:41:43.759 are we really gonna do. We're just gonna live now 0:41:43.840 --> 0:41:46.000 and fear our elections. Oh no, you know, what if 0:41:46.040 --> 0:41:48.160 what if somebody? What if somebody sent me a fake 0:41:48.239 --> 0:41:54.960 news and it's a Russian okay whatever? And you know, 0:41:55.560 --> 0:41:57.560 it's really with with Democrats. It's like just time to 0:41:57.600 --> 0:41:59.560 put on the big boy pants here. It's it's just 0:42:00.000 --> 0:42:02.680 too much. And Rampaul I give him a lot of 0:42:02.719 --> 0:42:05.400 credit because oh he got hammered on this yesterday. But 0:42:05.600 --> 0:42:10.160 he's right. And wolf Blitzer, who usually you know, people 0:42:10.160 --> 0:42:12.759 think wolf Blitzer is like a neutral newsman. It's really 0:42:12.840 --> 0:42:16.960 just because he's generally so boring and lacking in like 0:42:17.480 --> 0:42:21.120 facial expression that you figure, well, I guess he's new 0:42:21.239 --> 0:42:24.560 He sounds neutral, as in, the tone doesn't go up 0:42:24.680 --> 0:42:27.600 or down. Here, I am my wolf Blitzer, I am 0:42:27.640 --> 0:42:30.480 reading off a prompter, and now I am doing an 0:42:30.560 --> 0:42:34.319 interview on the things that I'm going to talk about. Uh, 0:42:35.400 --> 0:42:37.080 how they made this guy like a household name of 0:42:37.160 --> 0:42:39.279 news is an amazing thing to me. I don't I don't, 0:42:40.280 --> 0:42:42.080 I don't know. I mean, I guess he looks the 0:42:42.120 --> 0:42:46.160 part of newsman. I don't really know. But anyway, he 0:42:46.400 --> 0:42:49.720 was interviewing uh Rampaul and really was doing cross examining 0:42:49.800 --> 0:42:52.200 him because it as an objective news Nework. Anderson Cooper 0:42:52.320 --> 0:42:54.879 yesterday comes off, comes off the Trump pressor and says, 0:42:54.880 --> 0:42:56.920 that's the most disgraceful thing I've ever seen. That is 0:42:56.960 --> 0:42:59.680 a pundit comment. That is not a news anchor comment. 0:43:00.080 --> 0:43:02.440 A news anchor says, well, there was the president United States. 0:43:02.640 --> 0:43:05.200 Now let's go to our panel for analysis. Okay, this 0:43:05.360 --> 0:43:08.120 this is not that hard. Oh my gosh, worst thing ever, 0:43:08.200 --> 0:43:10.919 worst than Pearl Harbor. And people say this, I mean, really, 0:43:12.000 --> 0:43:13.759 you gotta wonder about that. I I mean wonder about 0:43:13.760 --> 0:43:17.600 their mental health. But here's how this Wolf Blitzer thing 0:43:17.680 --> 0:43:20.040 went here. Yesterday. I wanted to play the audio, but 0:43:20.120 --> 0:43:22.000 we we you know, the show was too close to airtime. 0:43:22.120 --> 0:43:25.560 Play clip to the most recent leaders of the intelligence community, 0:43:25.680 --> 0:43:31.520 James Clapper and John Brennan. James Clapper, Perjurde himself talking 0:43:32.200 --> 0:43:39.880 talking the content director of National I'm not interview or 0:43:40.280 --> 0:43:42.600 if you're gonna interrupt me question will if we can't 0:43:42.600 --> 0:43:49.520 really have no No, I just want to be occasially better. 0:43:49.640 --> 0:43:51.840 You're usually better than this Wolf of doing an interview, 0:43:53.520 --> 0:43:55.200 I mean, I think that's fair. Usually it's better than this. 0:43:55.280 --> 0:43:58.400 But you know what that was. Wolf felt pressure to 0:43:58.440 --> 0:44:01.040 show he's democratic audience, which is what CNN has. I mean, 0:44:01.120 --> 0:44:03.200 CNN is the whole thing now is a giant fraud. 0:44:04.239 --> 0:44:08.439 The whole thing. You know, Their whole pretense that they're 0:44:08.440 --> 0:44:10.960 an objective news network without a political bias is laughable, 0:44:11.000 --> 0:44:13.640 but they still cling to it because otherwise they have 0:44:13.719 --> 0:44:16.080 to actually have their people go out there and make 0:44:16.160 --> 0:44:19.200 real arguments. And stand behind what they say. You know, 0:44:19.600 --> 0:44:21.920 I I will, I will tell you I have more 0:44:22.040 --> 0:44:27.319 respect intellectually for matt Ow and Hayes and that whole 0:44:27.400 --> 0:44:31.240 crew than I do for the for the CNN Nightly lineup. 0:44:31.360 --> 0:44:33.920 Or Don Lemon is not a liberal? What are people? Morons? 0:44:34.840 --> 0:44:38.080 Come on? They still say this though they still pretend 0:44:39.360 --> 0:44:40.920 you know what I mean? Who? Who do we think? 0:44:41.160 --> 0:44:45.440 Who do we think Jake Kapper, Anderson Cooper, Aaron Burnett, 0:44:45.680 --> 0:44:47.600 Don Lemon, Wolf Blitzer? Who do do we think that 0:44:47.680 --> 0:44:51.080 they're they like President they would have liked President Hillary 0:44:51.120 --> 0:44:54.840 Moore or President Trump? Boor does anyone wanted to spoot this? 0:44:54.960 --> 0:44:57.080 Is this really a serious conversation? And c not No, No, 0:44:57.120 --> 0:45:00.960 we're just journalists. We're just journalists because they know the 0:45:01.960 --> 0:45:06.480 you know, the the ground is shifting beneath their feet. 0:45:06.680 --> 0:45:10.280 You know, they've had this wonderful Golden Goose legacy media 0:45:10.520 --> 0:45:13.680 operation going on. But we're entering a new world, a 0:45:13.760 --> 0:45:16.839 wild West of where ideas have to stand on their 0:45:16.880 --> 0:45:18.480 own and people have to be honest about where they 0:45:18.520 --> 0:45:21.040 come from and what they're doing. Can't hide behind this 0:45:21.200 --> 0:45:27.279 facade anymore objective and neutral news gathering. And you know, 0:45:27.320 --> 0:45:29.960 but Wolf wanted to signal to his I will say 0:45:30.000 --> 0:45:31.960 it's a cool name. I mean, from a buck to 0:45:32.040 --> 0:45:33.800 a wolf, it is a cool name. I give him that. 0:45:33.960 --> 0:45:36.200 It is a cool name for a newsman. You know, 0:45:36.480 --> 0:45:38.000 I'm not here to hate, you know what I mean? 0:45:38.080 --> 0:45:41.279 And his beard. Respect it's bernanke level. You know. His 0:45:41.480 --> 0:45:45.680 beard is the mustache equivalent of what Bolton has, or rather, 0:45:45.719 --> 0:45:49.360 Bolton's mustache and Blitzer's beard are on the same plane 0:45:49.520 --> 0:45:54.040 of awesome. I respect it. Okay that said, Uh, it 0:45:54.120 --> 0:45:56.400 gets worse because Blitzer didn't like the interview because he's 0:45:56.400 --> 0:45:58.120 trying to signal his audience I don't like this. I 0:45:58.160 --> 0:46:00.440 don't like this. But he can't come out and say that. So, 0:46:00.560 --> 0:46:03.560 as I've told you before, what the anchor does is interrupt, interrupt, 0:46:04.000 --> 0:46:07.360 show that you're you know, show that tension in the interview. 0:46:07.960 --> 0:46:09.719 Remember one of my rules. Whenever you go on TV 0:46:09.800 --> 0:46:12.480 and you see this, the first person that gets aggressively 0:46:12.520 --> 0:46:15.520 interrupted is the first person the anchor wants the audience 0:46:15.560 --> 0:46:17.440 to know I disagree with this person, or even I 0:46:17.480 --> 0:46:21.960 don't like this person. Watch how that goes. Not a clarification, right, 0:46:21.960 --> 0:46:24.040 because sometimes they'll pile on. Oh, no, Buck, what you're 0:46:24.080 --> 0:46:26.080 really saying, you know, oh, so and so, what you're 0:46:26.120 --> 0:46:28.279 really saying is this right? Oh yes, yes, yes, I'm 0:46:28.320 --> 0:46:30.200 with you. Yes, good person, good person. I like you. 0:46:30.480 --> 0:46:32.239 Themen they go whoop up, hold on, hold on hold 0:46:32.239 --> 0:46:34.640 the one they cut off your flow in one of 0:46:34.719 --> 0:46:38.879 these supposedly you know, left right analysis segments. The person 0:46:38.960 --> 0:46:40.520 they cut off is the person they want to show 0:46:40.560 --> 0:46:42.600 the audience they do not like and do not respect. 0:46:42.880 --> 0:46:45.080 Trust me, watch news with this in your mind, You're like, wow, 0:46:46.200 --> 0:46:49.520 Buck's got some ninja moves. That's true. But here's what 0:46:49.560 --> 0:46:52.440 Blitzer did after that, play three, Who do you trust? Center? 0:46:52.640 --> 0:46:56.719 The American intelligence community, the American law enforcement community, or 0:46:56.760 --> 0:46:59.880 of Vladimir Putin? What I would say is that all 0:47:00.160 --> 0:47:02.279 power needs to have checks and balances, and I think 0:47:02.320 --> 0:47:05.120 our intelligence community has way too much power. The fact 0:47:05.160 --> 0:47:08.160 that Peter Strock was able to bring incredible bias towards 0:47:08.160 --> 0:47:12.759 the president of work US, that's not the question. The 0:47:13.120 --> 0:47:15.640 right question that should be asked Wolf is should that 0:47:15.760 --> 0:47:18.720 power be unchecked or should you have a judicial system 0:47:18.800 --> 0:47:21.400 that says, you know what, I understand what you have 0:47:21.480 --> 0:47:23.279 to do warrants, but you have to have checks and 0:47:23.360 --> 0:47:27.960 balances on intelligence. So so I just why don't you 0:47:28.080 --> 0:47:30.920 just say you believe in the intelligence community, the law enforce, 0:47:31.280 --> 0:47:37.000 you access there there, you accept their assessments. You notice 0:47:37.040 --> 0:47:40.160 this is a tactic they do, right. They construct a 0:47:40.200 --> 0:47:43.560 whole narrative, a very complex narrative with a lot of 0:47:43.680 --> 0:47:48.319 misstatements and a lot of inferences and innu window. They 0:47:48.400 --> 0:47:51.480 construct a very complex narrative, and then they try to 0:47:51.640 --> 0:47:55.200 distill it down to one question, one yes or no question, 0:47:55.280 --> 0:47:58.359 and if you accept one side or other they make 0:47:58.400 --> 0:48:01.520 it a binary, then you to accept everything else. And 0:48:01.640 --> 0:48:04.040 this is what Trump is fighting against in that interview yesterday. 0:48:04.080 --> 0:48:06.840 He knows the moment you say yes, Russia meddlon the election, 0:48:07.600 --> 0:48:09.640 then he's just subject to all it's oh see you're 0:48:09.680 --> 0:48:12.000 not really president, you didn't really win. He knows that's coming, 0:48:12.600 --> 0:48:15.360 so he's he's pushing back against that, even though you 0:48:15.400 --> 0:48:17.759 know that the premise of their question is constructed so 0:48:17.960 --> 0:48:22.000 that by just saying yeah, okay, they meddled, then the 0:48:22.040 --> 0:48:24.040 follow on to that because of all the media efforts 0:48:24.080 --> 0:48:25.720 around it as well, they must have changed the election 0:48:25.719 --> 0:48:27.480 and all the stuff hal was to happen. Here's an 0:48:27.480 --> 0:48:30.680 example of perfect example of this. And by the way, Obama, 0:48:30.680 --> 0:48:32.480 we'll talk about him later. In Johannesburg, he did the 0:48:32.480 --> 0:48:35.080 same thing. He mentioned this specifically. Do you believe in 0:48:35.080 --> 0:48:38.920 climate change? That's the very that's a very loaded question, right, 0:48:38.960 --> 0:48:41.040 I mean, well, yeah, of climate change is a naturally 0:48:41.080 --> 0:48:43.200 occurring thing and has for all of history. Climate has 0:48:43.239 --> 0:48:45.800 always been changing. So yeah, of course I believe in 0:48:45.840 --> 0:48:48.759 climate change. Do you believe that human beings have an 0:48:48.800 --> 0:48:51.480 effect on climate change? Well, I mean, you know, you 0:48:51.520 --> 0:48:54.080 can kind of take it at the butterfly effect level. Sure, him, 0:48:54.080 --> 0:48:56.000 If a butterfly flaps its wings in New York and 0:48:56.120 --> 0:48:58.120 you know, you could have the monsoon in Southeast Asia 0:48:58.200 --> 0:49:01.719 because of all the variability and you know, the decoupled 0:49:01.800 --> 0:49:04.359 non linear system that we live in that is the universe. Sure, 0:49:04.560 --> 0:49:07.440 theoretically could have an effect. But that's not what they're saying. 0:49:08.040 --> 0:49:11.080 When you say I believe in climate change, you are 0:49:11.160 --> 0:49:13.279 saying to them and what they're gonna go, well, then 0:49:13.360 --> 0:49:15.520 we need to have you know, carbon emission caps, and 0:49:15.600 --> 0:49:18.279 we need to have all these restrictive environmentalist policies and 0:49:18.400 --> 0:49:22.440 all that comes with it. And they know they create 0:49:22.600 --> 0:49:25.080 a binary question so that you have to submit to 0:49:25.120 --> 0:49:28.880 the narrative that is behind the question, even though it's unfair, 0:49:29.040 --> 0:49:31.560 this is this is the propaganda value of what they're doing. 0:49:32.560 --> 0:49:34.680 And I know that this you know, this is this 0:49:34.880 --> 0:49:37.000 is a complicated way of approaching the question. But you know, 0:49:37.040 --> 0:49:38.719 I have the smartest audience in radio, and so we 0:49:38.760 --> 0:49:42.040 talk about these things at the highest level. That's why 0:49:42.239 --> 0:49:46.040 Trump is so resistant to yes, they meddled the election. Yeah, 0:49:46.040 --> 0:49:48.640 he knows the Russians probably did this stuff whatever, but 0:49:48.920 --> 0:49:51.960 he also knows that they're not concerned with Russian meddling 0:49:52.040 --> 0:49:55.560 in the election. They're concerned with undermining and delegitimizing his win. 0:49:58.920 --> 0:50:00.680 This would be like saying if the media had been 0:50:00.760 --> 0:50:02.799 running around with the story for the last eighteen months 0:50:02.800 --> 0:50:06.600 about how there was massive, massive voter fraud, massive voter 0:50:06.760 --> 0:50:08.640 fraud in the election, they couldn't prove any of it, 0:50:09.040 --> 0:50:11.120 and then they said, well, was there any voter And 0:50:11.160 --> 0:50:12.360 by the way, they would never do this because they 0:50:12.400 --> 0:50:14.040 claim that there isn't voter fraud and they don't want 0:50:14.040 --> 0:50:15.800 to know how much voter fraud there is. Democrats have 0:50:15.920 --> 0:50:18.600 no interest in finding that out. But if you said, well, yeah, 0:50:18.600 --> 0:50:20.680 I mean there were a couple of votes changed like, no, no, no, 0:50:20.800 --> 0:50:24.480 do you believe in voter fraud? You go, well, okay, yeah, well, yes, 0:50:24.560 --> 0:50:26.399 you believe in voter fraud. Therefore we know the last 0:50:26.440 --> 0:50:28.719 election was illegitimate because of the massive voter fraud we've 0:50:28.719 --> 0:50:30.279 been talking about all along. You see how quickly it 0:50:30.360 --> 0:50:33.000 transitions into that. That's the game they're playing here, and 0:50:33.040 --> 0:50:36.600 Trump knows it. That's why he's hesitant. Now, you know, 0:50:36.760 --> 0:50:38.520 could he be more adept at trying to get out 0:50:38.560 --> 0:50:40.440 of the trap? They said for him? Sure, yesterday he 0:50:40.480 --> 0:50:43.160 got he got jammed up. But you know they're trying 0:50:43.160 --> 0:50:45.840 to jam him up with every question every press conference, 0:50:45.880 --> 0:50:47.640 and people said, oh, book, he's a president. Build No, 0:50:47.680 --> 0:50:51.279 they're not asking him policy questions. They're asking him when 0:50:51.320 --> 0:50:54.880 did you stop beating your wife? Questions and so and 0:50:54.960 --> 0:50:56.800 when every member of the press corps was the acception 0:50:56.840 --> 0:50:59.000 of Fox and a few other outlets are just asking 0:50:59.000 --> 0:51:01.000 you when you stop eating your wife day in and 0:51:01.120 --> 0:51:02.920 day out. And you're expected to have to answer these 0:51:03.000 --> 0:51:05.719 questions in one form another administration is people are gonna 0:51:05.719 --> 0:51:09.319 slip up. It's gonna happen. And they know that, right. 0:51:09.760 --> 0:51:12.840 You know, that's why the hyena arena of CNN and 0:51:12.880 --> 0:51:18.520 all the rest get so excited by this. Yeah, Blitzer 0:51:18.560 --> 0:51:21.040 wants you to know he does not like he does 0:51:21.120 --> 0:51:24.120 not like those answers. He did not like what Ron 0:51:24.200 --> 0:51:26.200 Paul had to say. I ran Paul, pardon me. I 0:51:26.239 --> 0:51:30.279 had to say, uh man, I didn't even get it. 0:51:30.320 --> 0:51:32.359 There's some other stuff. But we got judged in joining 0:51:32.400 --> 0:51:35.240 that's gonna you guys think I'm fired up. Judge Denin. 0:51:35.360 --> 0:51:37.200 That's gonna be very interesting. We got Obama. We're talking 0:51:37.200 --> 0:51:40.040 about his speech later on in this hour, and uh, 0:51:40.120 --> 0:51:41.640 I got a whole I got a whole lot more shows. 0:51:41.640 --> 0:51:43.320 So we are going to transition off this issue of 0:51:43.360 --> 0:51:45.800 the press conference everything else. I I just think it's important. 0:51:46.120 --> 0:51:47.480 And you know, I took some heat today because I 0:51:47.520 --> 0:51:49.680 did this with the short video and not saying it. 0:51:49.840 --> 0:51:51.440 You know, it didn't go mega viral or anything. But 0:51:51.480 --> 0:51:54.480 we're doing these short form videos ninety seconds called a buckshot. 0:51:54.480 --> 0:51:56.759 It's on my page now Facebook dot com slash buck sex. 0:51:56.880 --> 0:51:59.440 And I just made this case. Is Trump really crazy 0:51:59.480 --> 0:52:00.560 to think that they're might be a problem with the 0:52:00.560 --> 0:52:03.160 intelligence community because the intelligence community at the top level 0:52:03.719 --> 0:52:08.839 has been waging almost almost an open war against him 0:52:08.840 --> 0:52:10.880 at this point. I mean, we know this, right, we 0:52:11.000 --> 0:52:12.560 see the people that used to run it, and now 0:52:12.600 --> 0:52:14.000 they're out, and all they want to do is tear 0:52:14.040 --> 0:52:16.960 down Trump at the expense of their own credibility, of 0:52:17.040 --> 0:52:20.240 their own sanity, it seems. So it is it crazy 0:52:20.280 --> 0:52:21.960 that Trump is aware of this deep state and doesn't 0:52:21.960 --> 0:52:23.600 want to play into their hands. I don't think so. 0:52:24.080 --> 0:52:26.719 You know, even some conservatives got mad at me today. Whatever. 0:52:26.920 --> 0:52:29.600 You know, hey, producer, Mike, you can't you can't. You 0:52:29.680 --> 0:52:32.359 can't please all the You can't please all the never 0:52:32.400 --> 0:52:34.680 Trumpers all the time, you know what I mean, You 0:52:34.719 --> 0:52:37.439 can't please them any of the time. Really, I've lost 0:52:37.480 --> 0:52:40.120 friends over this. Man. It's crazy, you know. That's an 0:52:40.120 --> 0:52:42.600 almost impossible crowd, that onever. Yeah, I mean, all with me. 0:52:42.760 --> 0:52:45.960 You just gotta be cool like books dogs and we 0:52:46.040 --> 0:52:48.080 can be friends, you know what I mean. So you 0:52:48.440 --> 0:52:50.840 got you can't dislike dogs. That that is kind of 0:52:50.920 --> 0:52:53.120 a red line for me. But all right, we got 0:52:53.200 --> 0:53:06.440 more common teams. Stay with me. The nineties are now 0:53:06.920 --> 0:53:09.840 calling the asked for their foreign policy back, because you know, 0:53:10.040 --> 0:53:11.920 the Cold War has been over for twenty years. In 0:53:12.040 --> 0:53:14.359 many of the areas where we are working to solve 0:53:14.440 --> 0:53:19.040 problems Russia has been uh an ally. Governor Romney's answer, 0:53:19.080 --> 0:53:21.880 I thought it was incredibly revealing. He acts like he 0:53:22.000 --> 0:53:24.560 thinks the Cold War still on. Russia is still our 0:53:24.680 --> 0:53:28.319 major adversary. I don't know where he's been. And then 0:53:28.440 --> 0:53:32.120 Romney talks like he's only seen Russia by watching Rocky 0:53:32.239 --> 0:53:37.240 for you're a lot of Democrats, they're a little throwback. 0:53:37.440 --> 0:53:39.640 Just do a few years back, folks, not that long. 0:53:40.320 --> 0:53:43.640 Democrats like what is this crazy talk about Russia being 0:53:43.719 --> 0:53:48.319 an adversary? Republican war mongers, and now they're like, oh 0:53:48.360 --> 0:53:50.920 my gosh, the Russians are inventing. I mean, when you 0:53:51.120 --> 0:53:53.360 listen to some of the analysis from the last twenty 0:53:53.400 --> 0:53:56.719 four hours, you really get the sense that a lot 0:53:57.000 --> 0:54:00.239 of UH news anchors and pundits and and de crap 0:54:00.320 --> 0:54:03.080 members of Congress think that they're in They're in like 0:54:03.280 --> 0:54:07.080 Red Dawn three or something, and and the Ruskies are invading. 0:54:08.880 --> 0:54:10.840 When you look at the Russian economy, I mean, we 0:54:10.960 --> 0:54:13.320 are so far ahead of Russia on all this stuff. 0:54:13.920 --> 0:54:15.680 And it would be better for the whole world if 0:54:15.719 --> 0:54:20.480 we could align more of our interest with the Russians 0:54:20.840 --> 0:54:22.799 and get them to play ball in a way they 0:54:22.880 --> 0:54:25.320 look at it wasn't long ago. You know, there's a 0:54:25.400 --> 0:54:28.320 whole other way to look at this, which I know, people, 0:54:28.640 --> 0:54:30.000 it's okay. People can yell at me for this. I 0:54:30.040 --> 0:54:33.319 don't care. Russia has come a long way from where 0:54:33.400 --> 0:54:36.840 it was in a pretty short period of time. Folks. 0:54:37.440 --> 0:54:40.840 We had the serious threat of mutually assured nuclear destruction 0:54:40.920 --> 0:54:43.640 for decades. Okay, we had little kids hiding under their 0:54:43.680 --> 0:54:46.120 desks like that was gonna save them. You know, if 0:54:46.200 --> 0:54:49.400 the neutron bombs dropped. You know, they had the drills 0:54:49.440 --> 0:54:52.399 going on, and you know, now they got Russians. Yeah, 0:54:52.440 --> 0:54:55.120 it's not perfect, but they're showing up in vacation spots 0:54:55.160 --> 0:54:57.920 all over the world there, you know, the they got 0:54:58.239 --> 0:55:01.400 lots of expensive gear from Gucci and Fendi at all 0:55:01.440 --> 0:55:04.319 these other places and rocking the Versace suits. They're driving 0:55:04.360 --> 0:55:06.920 around in Porgias and Maserati's, and you know, those are 0:55:06.920 --> 0:55:09.800 the ones that granted looted the Russian state industries. But 0:55:11.000 --> 0:55:14.719 I'd rather have them focused on capitalism and conspicuous consumption 0:55:15.000 --> 0:55:18.120 than trying to push some workers revolution and destroy all 0:55:18.160 --> 0:55:19.759 of us, right, I mean, when you really think about it, 0:55:20.520 --> 0:55:22.279 Russia has actually come a long way. I'm not saying 0:55:22.280 --> 0:55:25.360 it's okay, I'm not excusing any Putin does, but I 0:55:25.440 --> 0:55:28.040 mean it's it's in my lifetime. They've gone from yeah, 0:55:28.160 --> 0:55:30.120 we might just have to destroy the entire United States 0:55:30.160 --> 0:55:32.719 and maybe the world to you know what, I like 0:55:32.840 --> 0:55:36.840 fancy fancy cars, nice watches, and big houses. This is 0:55:36.880 --> 0:55:39.080 a good thing. This is a good thing. We we 0:55:39.160 --> 0:55:42.000 can work with this. It's not perfect, it's not gonna 0:55:42.000 --> 0:55:46.080 be perfect anytime soon, but it's also not you know, 0:55:46.320 --> 0:55:49.600 doctor strange glove and nuclear destruction. So let's keep an 0:55:49.640 --> 0:55:51.440 eye on all this stuff. All right, We got judged 0:55:51.480 --> 0:56:10.440 in coming up. He's back with you now, because when 0:56:10.480 --> 0:56:13.840 it comes to the fight for truth, the fuck never stops. 0:56:14.560 --> 0:56:17.120 All right, team, welcome back. We now have a guest 0:56:17.160 --> 0:56:20.760 who really needs no introduction, the one and only Judge 0:56:20.840 --> 0:56:24.600 Janine Piau of Fox News fame. She has a new 0:56:24.680 --> 0:56:27.960 book out, Liars, Leakers and Liberals, The Case against the 0:56:28.000 --> 0:56:31.439 Anti Trump Conspiracy. Judge Bireau, great to have you, Thanks 0:56:31.440 --> 0:56:34.440 so much for joining us. Well, Bucket's great to be 0:56:34.600 --> 0:56:37.520 with you, and I love the buck stops here. And 0:56:38.160 --> 0:56:40.080 why thank you, madam? Why thank you? So tell us 0:56:40.080 --> 0:56:43.640 a judge about the new book. Well, you know, Buck, 0:56:43.680 --> 0:56:46.520 I've been a prosecutor, judge and d A for thirty years, 0:56:46.640 --> 0:56:49.040 so I know crime, I know the law, and I 0:56:49.120 --> 0:56:51.640 know a con when I see it. And there was 0:56:51.719 --> 0:56:55.080 no question in my mind that a leading up to 0:56:55.560 --> 0:56:59.440 this last presidential election, there were people within the Department 0:56:59.480 --> 0:57:04.280 of Justice and the FBI who sought to essentially drag 0:57:04.360 --> 0:57:08.239 a criminal across the presidential Finnish line without any kind 0:57:08.320 --> 0:57:11.560 of real investigation, without a grand during the panel, none 0:57:11.600 --> 0:57:14.640 of the stuff that I did for years, and they 0:57:14.760 --> 0:57:18.400 hold it a criminal investigation. And then when it appeared 0:57:18.480 --> 0:57:22.200 that Donald Trump might win for president, these same people 0:57:22.280 --> 0:57:25.920 within the FBI and the Department of Justice decide that 0:57:26.040 --> 0:57:27.920 what they're gonna do is they're going to create an 0:57:27.960 --> 0:57:31.720 insurance policy. And you and your listeners, fuck may not 0:57:31.880 --> 0:57:34.920 have understood it at the time that these emails or 0:57:35.000 --> 0:57:40.280 text messages between FBI Peter Stuck, Assistant Director of counter Intelligence, 0:57:40.800 --> 0:57:44.440 and his girlfriend leads to paid UH Council and the 0:57:44.560 --> 0:57:48.480 FBI when they started talking about an insurance policy, I'm 0:57:48.480 --> 0:57:51.840 gonna start everyone really under stupid that meant, except it 0:57:51.960 --> 0:57:56.120 became very clear in my book Liar's leaders and ribberals 0:57:56.240 --> 0:58:00.480 is almost present on this one. Where the insurance policy 0:58:00.720 --> 0:58:05.439 was the worst of coluction investigation, that would be their 0:58:05.560 --> 0:58:08.280 ace in the whole, in the event in their minds. 0:58:08.480 --> 0:58:11.960 God for Donald Trump got elected. And that's why when 0:58:12.040 --> 0:58:19.640 we the Pewter struck last week arrogantly, condescendingly, smuggly, uh, defiantly, 0:58:20.040 --> 0:58:24.440 and unapologetically taught the members of Congress as though he 0:58:24.640 --> 0:58:30.000 were some kind of uh uh superior being, uh, it 0:58:30.280 --> 0:58:34.760 was clear that these people were running their own system 0:58:34.840 --> 0:58:38.880 of justice within our time, out of time honored FBI. 0:58:38.960 --> 0:58:42.720 And that's why the book on Americans. What I was 0:58:42.760 --> 0:58:44.360 gonna say, Judge, well, what did you make of that 0:58:44.440 --> 0:58:48.479 the i G report that was a compendium page after 0:58:48.640 --> 0:58:52.200 page of blatant bias that then said no bias that 0:58:52.280 --> 0:58:54.920 affects actions. To me, it just seemed the whole thing 0:58:54.960 --> 0:58:59.520 seemed disingenuous. I've never felt so honestly disgusted by the 0:58:59.800 --> 0:59:03.840 d o J in recent memory, at least maybe ever. Well, 0:59:03.920 --> 0:59:06.640 I gotta tell you, you know, there's this saying, don't 0:59:06.680 --> 0:59:10.440 believe your lion. I I just uh, you know, it 0:59:10.520 --> 0:59:12.680 was like Jim Kobe. It was the same feeling I 0:59:12.800 --> 0:59:15.640 had what Jim Cooley said, she was reckless. She was 0:59:15.760 --> 0:59:19.400 this with Hillary Quinn with those emaales and everybody's saying, guy, 0:59:19.520 --> 0:59:22.040 he's gonna in die, or's gonna call for her indictment, 0:59:22.440 --> 0:59:26.200 and nothing happened. The same with Peter Frock. He was 0:59:26.440 --> 0:59:28.480 biased in this and bias in that, but no book. 0:59:28.520 --> 0:59:31.480 There was biased in the outcome. Excuse me, I you're stupid. 0:59:32.040 --> 0:59:34.120 I mean, of course there was biased. This is a 0:59:34.240 --> 0:59:38.320 textbook definition of bias. And what they did was this 0:59:38.560 --> 0:59:41.320 is the deep state. Fuck, this is the deep state 0:59:41.680 --> 0:59:45.280 covering for itself. Everybody's got the goods on everybody else. 0:59:45.640 --> 0:59:48.480 And that's why I was the book flyers and leaguers. 0:59:48.560 --> 0:59:51.919 They are wires, the lot leaders. Jim Kobe. I lived 0:59:52.000 --> 0:59:54.040 with him when I was re elected g A. He 0:59:54.200 --> 0:59:56.920 was ust attorney with his office next to mind, and 0:59:57.160 --> 1:00:00.160 each guy acted like he was holier than that out 1:00:00.400 --> 1:00:03.200 and the FBI behind us back that the rank and file, 1:00:03.240 --> 1:00:06.160 who are good men and women, call them. Cardinal Kobe. 1:00:06.280 --> 1:00:09.040 I mean, he's just stuck on himself. But what they 1:00:09.200 --> 1:00:12.080 did for the first time in American history was they 1:00:12.200 --> 1:00:15.440 tried to overturn an election with their own two and 1:00:15.600 --> 1:00:18.920 thank God that the American people instinctively knew it was 1:00:19.000 --> 1:00:22.360 time for an outsider. They instinctively knew. This isn't about 1:00:22.400 --> 1:00:26.960 Republican and Democrat. It's about the swamp, the establishment. People 1:00:27.000 --> 1:00:31.720 going to Washington with pinimal means or mediocre means and 1:00:31.840 --> 1:00:35.720 come out multimillionaires and their families or multimillionaires. I'm fed 1:00:35.840 --> 1:00:38.439 up with it. And you know what, Americans work hard. 1:00:38.760 --> 1:00:41.280 We don't deserve these people who think, oh, well, this 1:00:41.320 --> 1:00:43.640 should be a global country. Let them all come in 1:00:44.200 --> 1:00:46.240 and then you know, we can pay for it while 1:00:46.280 --> 1:00:49.720 we worked till the three jobs. So you know Americans 1:00:49.800 --> 1:00:53.880 are hard working, their fair, their charitable. But don't don't 1:00:53.920 --> 1:00:56.120 pull them all over their eyes. Don't tell them they're 1:00:56.160 --> 1:00:59.280 responsible and they're not Christian if they don't do what 1:00:59.520 --> 1:01:02.760 these oblists want them to do. And the book is 1:01:02.800 --> 1:01:07.960 a reminder that everything is at stake right now. Buck everything. Judge, 1:01:07.960 --> 1:01:10.000 I gotta ask you, because I've I've heard some things. 1:01:10.560 --> 1:01:14.680 If called upon to serve this president as the attorney general, 1:01:14.720 --> 1:01:17.760 what would your response be, Well, I don't engage in 1:01:17.840 --> 1:01:20.520 hypotheticals even as a judge. Jack would I would? I 1:01:20.560 --> 1:01:24.000 would the same objections by lawyers in my courtroom who said, 1:01:24.040 --> 1:01:25.959 if this were to be the case, and I would 1:01:26.000 --> 1:01:27.960 say to them, if it's the case, we'll get to it. 1:01:28.120 --> 1:01:31.160 But it's not right now. Look Donald Trump, and I 1:01:31.320 --> 1:01:33.280 write this in the book. He's been my friend for 1:01:33.360 --> 1:01:37.080 thirty years. I know him. I watched his just grow up. 1:01:37.440 --> 1:01:39.560 This is a man who believes in this country, who 1:01:39.600 --> 1:01:41.880 would just as easily have been on a golf course 1:01:41.920 --> 1:01:45.320 in Scotland stayed. They're playing golf for the next six months. 1:01:45.920 --> 1:01:49.160 Um and and and I I'm happy with what I'm doing. 1:01:49.760 --> 1:01:52.080 Who knows what the future holds. All right, Well, judge, 1:01:52.080 --> 1:01:54.120 you gotta promise us if it does come up, you 1:01:54.200 --> 1:01:55.960 gotta come back and we talk about it. Okay, I 1:01:56.080 --> 1:01:58.520 do well. I I love you, and I thank you 1:01:58.600 --> 1:02:01.960 book and your listeners for of course, Judge, good luck 1:02:02.040 --> 1:02:03.920 on the book. Good luck in the book. Everybody check 1:02:03.960 --> 1:02:07.240 it out for yourself. Liars, leakers and liberals, the case 1:02:07.480 --> 1:02:10.600 against the anti Trump conspiracy. Judge Denin Pierro, thank you 1:02:10.680 --> 1:02:13.439 so much, and we'll talk to you soon. Thank you, book. 1:02:13.520 --> 1:02:17.880 Take care all right. So they had the judge only 1:02:17.920 --> 1:02:20.200 judge man, she's great. I've done her show. But time 1:02:20.240 --> 1:02:22.240 she's a lot of fun and she she gets it's 1:02:22.280 --> 1:02:25.920 like Friday night and Judge Denine lights it up. Anyway, 1:02:25.920 --> 1:02:27.760 I'm gonna talk about I know now this is gonna 1:02:27.760 --> 1:02:30.800 be kind of a you know woo who so sad 1:02:30.840 --> 1:02:34.280 we gotta talk about Obama speech. Now we're really gonna 1:02:34.280 --> 1:02:36.120 dig into it. We got that coming up team, So 1:02:37.800 --> 1:02:56.000 stay right there, we'll be back. Unfortunately, too much of 1:02:56.200 --> 1:03:01.360 politics today seems to reject the very const up of 1:03:01.480 --> 1:03:07.800 objective truth. People just make stuff up. They just make 1:03:07.840 --> 1:03:12.439 stuff up. We see it in the growth of state 1:03:12.560 --> 1:03:20.520 sponsored propaganda. We see it in Internet driven fabrications. We 1:03:20.600 --> 1:03:22.800 see it in the in the blurring of lines between 1:03:22.920 --> 1:03:27.680 news and entertainment. We see the utter loss of shame 1:03:28.160 --> 1:03:31.560 among political leaders where they're caught in a lie and 1:03:31.680 --> 1:03:34.919 they just doubled down and they lost the law. That's 1:03:34.960 --> 1:03:39.920 President Obama. Do you miss them? Everybody? I think we 1:03:40.040 --> 1:03:41.920 needed you know what, I think where they needed at 1:03:41.960 --> 1:03:44.120 this point in time, in our in our discourse in 1:03:44.200 --> 1:03:46.960 this country. I think we needed the most recent former 1:03:47.040 --> 1:03:52.560 president United States two from overseas that was in uh Johannesburg, 1:03:52.680 --> 1:03:57.480 South Africa, give a thinly veiled broadside against the current 1:03:57.600 --> 1:03:59.920 US administration. You'll notice that you know who didn't do that. 1:04:00.160 --> 1:04:03.880 Bush during Obama's eight years didn't do it. I didn't 1:04:03.880 --> 1:04:06.040 think it was right, didn't think it was honorable to 1:04:06.480 --> 1:04:09.920 take cheap shots at the person who came after him 1:04:10.000 --> 1:04:12.240 in the Oval office. Just didn't didn't didn't do it. 1:04:13.560 --> 1:04:16.720 Obama does it, but actually doesn't even have the courage 1:04:16.760 --> 1:04:18.160 to come out and just say it. Right, we all 1:04:18.240 --> 1:04:20.880 know who he's talking about there. Oh, when he's talking 1:04:20.880 --> 1:04:24.400 about state sponsored media, that's that's not new. If you 1:04:24.480 --> 1:04:26.840 asked him, oh, where's oh really, President Obama, where's the 1:04:26.880 --> 1:04:29.160 new state sponsored media? He's really talking about Fox News. 1:04:29.280 --> 1:04:36.000 This is all a a version of the same critiques 1:04:36.040 --> 1:04:38.080 were hearing day in and day out about Trump administration. 1:04:38.120 --> 1:04:41.120 But Obama's just he's just leaving out Trump's name because 1:04:41.120 --> 1:04:46.400 he's he's so clever, it's so subtle. You know, at 1:04:46.440 --> 1:04:49.280 least have the courage if you're gonna take cheap shots 1:04:49.400 --> 1:04:52.760 at the administration from foreign soil, especially right now given 1:04:52.800 --> 1:04:54.720 what's happening in Hell, thinking everything else, you know, just 1:04:54.840 --> 1:04:57.080 say it. I would have more respect for Obama if 1:04:57.120 --> 1:04:59.200 you just called it out instead of this kind of 1:04:59.280 --> 1:05:02.360 wink and a nod of like, I mean, state sponsored media. 1:05:02.400 --> 1:05:05.720 We all know we're talking about Fox News, right, you know, 1:05:06.800 --> 1:05:09.880 be forthright about it. One thing about Democrats, you know, 1:05:10.160 --> 1:05:15.480 very uh, very quick to be keyboard warriors, really tough 1:05:15.600 --> 1:05:20.080 on Twitter, and when they're overseas, you know, they just 1:05:20.200 --> 1:05:22.040 assume that the whole world is with them. You while 1:05:22.080 --> 1:05:23.520 most of the world doesn't care. What are the Americans 1:05:23.600 --> 1:05:25.880 ever say about anything? There's that too. Most people just 1:05:25.920 --> 1:05:27.880 care about their day to day lives in their country. 1:05:28.160 --> 1:05:31.880 This whole notion of world opinion is this left wing 1:05:32.000 --> 1:05:34.440 fabrication in America. There's a word, there's a global opinion 1:05:34.480 --> 1:05:37.320 on anything. You can measure this seven billion people in 1:05:37.320 --> 1:05:39.400 the world. Do you think they most of them give 1:05:39.440 --> 1:05:43.160 a give a hoot about what's going on with our 1:05:43.200 --> 1:05:46.080 political problems. I don't think so, all right, They're worried 1:05:46.080 --> 1:05:48.760 about food on the table, you know, not getting a 1:05:48.840 --> 1:05:51.640 serious disease and hopefully providing for their families or or 1:05:51.720 --> 1:05:55.680 being in a place to have a family. That's it anyway. 1:05:55.720 --> 1:05:57.480 So Obama, though, you know, it's been a while since 1:05:57.520 --> 1:06:00.240 Obama lectured the rest of us because he's he's really 1:06:00.440 --> 1:06:03.480 a demigod I mean, he's he's above us. He deigned 1:06:03.680 --> 1:06:06.400 to be among us mere mortals for eight years. And 1:06:06.480 --> 1:06:09.000 now Obama is back, and you know there's some stuff 1:06:09.040 --> 1:06:13.640 that he said that I'll get into that. Well, I 1:06:13.720 --> 1:06:15.560 wish this was more of a tona actually we had 1:06:15.680 --> 1:06:17.480 for eight years when he was in office, instead of 1:06:18.160 --> 1:06:21.840 just a complete fixation on demonizing the political opposition that 1:06:21.920 --> 1:06:25.600 he had, uh, just being a pyromaniac in a field 1:06:25.640 --> 1:06:29.000 of straw men all the time with every conservative policy 1:06:29.120 --> 1:06:31.520 argument that he came across, never really dealt with it 1:06:31.560 --> 1:06:35.760 on the merits. And then the obsession with identity politics, toxic, 1:06:36.360 --> 1:06:39.880 toxic identity politics. One of the real legacies of the 1:06:39.920 --> 1:06:42.320 Obama era is that we still deal with this now 1:06:42.400 --> 1:06:45.960 to this day, these this identity politics nonsense that it 1:06:46.080 --> 1:06:49.320 has only is worse than it has ever been. But 1:06:50.040 --> 1:06:53.120 you know, here, here's what he said about about oppression. 1:06:53.200 --> 1:06:56.760 Remember he's talking about the US while he's in South Africa. 1:06:56.840 --> 1:07:01.840 Play nineteen. It is a plain fete that racial discrimination 1:07:01.960 --> 1:07:05.800 still exists in both the United States and South Africa. 1:07:10.120 --> 1:07:14.080 And it is also a fact that the accumulated disadvantages 1:07:14.120 --> 1:07:20.600 of years of institutionalized depression have created yawning disparities and income, 1:07:20.760 --> 1:07:25.720 and in wealth and education, and in health, in personal safety, 1:07:26.200 --> 1:07:33.760 and access to credit. Interesting, access to credit. You might 1:07:33.840 --> 1:07:36.400 think yourself, why is that there will be more of this? 1:07:36.760 --> 1:07:40.640 I've started to pick up on this again that in 1:07:40.720 --> 1:07:43.120 the aftermath of the financial collapse, and this is a 1:07:43.160 --> 1:07:45.320 bit of a diversion, but this is important. In the 1:07:45.360 --> 1:07:47.680 aftermath of financial collapse, there are all these new rules 1:07:49.000 --> 1:07:51.320 that the banks, you Dodd Frank and all this stuff 1:07:51.360 --> 1:07:53.720 came crashing down on the banks and and all of 1:07:53.760 --> 1:07:56.120 a sudden, people realize making bad loans is a bad idea. 1:07:57.560 --> 1:07:59.240 The only way that we ever got to the financial 1:07:59.320 --> 1:08:03.040 crisis where you had, you know, exotic dancers in Miami 1:08:03.120 --> 1:08:05.240 who owned five houses and all the rest of it, right, 1:08:05.240 --> 1:08:07.440 the only way we got to that point was that 1:08:08.120 --> 1:08:12.560 community organizers, really the original social justice warriors, decided that 1:08:12.840 --> 1:08:16.640 banks lending practices, which were based entirely upon income and 1:08:16.840 --> 1:08:20.320 history of paying bills, were racist. This goes back to 1:08:20.320 --> 1:08:25.080 the Community Reinvestment Act and decades of social justice agitation 1:08:25.320 --> 1:08:28.200 over the issue. And they talked about redlining, and then 1:08:28.240 --> 1:08:30.599 you know, they would then they started bring federal suits 1:08:30.640 --> 1:08:33.240 against banks, and they decided they're going to get rid 1:08:33.280 --> 1:08:38.839 of the uh, the FICO score as a necessary component 1:08:38.880 --> 1:08:42.840 in lending, or make it much less important. And that 1:08:43.040 --> 1:08:50.439 then led to the the monstrosities of the balance sheets 1:08:50.479 --> 1:08:53.200 that you had of different mortgages at Fannie Mae and 1:08:53.240 --> 1:08:54.640 Freddie Mack and I mean, this is the truth of 1:08:54.680 --> 1:08:56.640 how we got and then Wall Street, which is just 1:08:56.720 --> 1:08:58.960 like a pack of wolf circling you know, capitalism, it 1:08:59.040 --> 1:09:01.800 is about, you know, get what you can when you can. 1:09:02.400 --> 1:09:04.200 Then they came in package these things, sold them and 1:09:04.200 --> 1:09:06.800 almost took down the whole global economy. So for a 1:09:06.840 --> 1:09:08.679 while they added back off this. But but I'm starting 1:09:08.720 --> 1:09:10.560 to hear this again, interesting, isn't it. Obomba says, you know, 1:09:10.600 --> 1:09:12.400 access to credit, I mean, access to credit in this 1:09:12.479 --> 1:09:16.639 country is supposed to be based upon your ability to pay, 1:09:16.680 --> 1:09:19.200 in your history of payment. It's not supposed to have 1:09:19.240 --> 1:09:22.080 anything to do with with your ethnicity, skin color, religion, 1:09:22.160 --> 1:09:25.080 or anything else. But what they're gonna start saying is 1:09:25.320 --> 1:09:28.439 that the objective criteria, if they have a disparate impact 1:09:28.920 --> 1:09:32.200 on different communities, are no longer to be considered objective, 1:09:32.439 --> 1:09:35.000 which kicks the door wide open for all right, we're 1:09:35.000 --> 1:09:37.280 just gonna make loans to people based on favored status 1:09:37.680 --> 1:09:40.760 as an aggrieved minority group, which then means that you're 1:09:40.760 --> 1:09:42.519 gonna start making a lot of loans to people that 1:09:42.640 --> 1:09:45.639 can't pay them, and they're gonna either socialize those losses 1:09:45.680 --> 1:09:48.639 in the broader economy or just keep pushing and pushing 1:09:48.680 --> 1:09:51.400 and pushing the deatload larger and larger until eventually, guess what, 1:09:52.080 --> 1:09:53.800 we have another financial crisis, and you know what they're 1:09:53.800 --> 1:09:56.439 gonna do. They're gonna turn around and they're gonna blame 1:09:56.960 --> 1:10:01.120 the greedy capitalists, even though it's actually government engineering that 1:10:01.200 --> 1:10:03.280 pushed the whole crisis. See, this is the version of 1:10:03.439 --> 1:10:05.720 the mortgage meltdown you want to hear from anybody else. 1:10:05.760 --> 1:10:07.519 It is all true. Go ahead, fact check me. You'll 1:10:07.560 --> 1:10:09.640 see everything I'm telling you. Go back look at the 1:10:09.640 --> 1:10:12.760 Community Investment Act, look at redlining practices, Look at the 1:10:12.800 --> 1:10:17.000 government's response when they started bringing suits against banks for 1:10:17.240 --> 1:10:21.080 not loaning to people. And there was a number of 1:10:21.120 --> 1:10:24.120 cases actually in Chicago where they shoot certain banks that 1:10:24.160 --> 1:10:27.719 said they were racist, and the banks were actually community 1:10:27.760 --> 1:10:31.760 banks that were African American owned, and they were like, well, 1:10:31.800 --> 1:10:33.599 we're just trying to do this. We're trying to make 1:10:33.640 --> 1:10:35.439 loans that we think will actually get paid back because 1:10:35.439 --> 1:10:38.920 we're a bank. The other banks were like, well, they 1:10:38.960 --> 1:10:41.799 were terrified of being considered racist, so they they wouldn't 1:10:41.880 --> 1:10:45.200 use that criteria. But you know, nobody ever wants to 1:10:45.280 --> 1:10:47.360 actually deal with the facts when it comes to lending, 1:10:47.439 --> 1:10:50.040 when it comes to these disparities. They just want to 1:10:50.120 --> 1:10:52.760 say what gets the biggest applause, and and Obama is 1:10:52.760 --> 1:10:55.600 dealing with doing that right now. Access to credit. I 1:10:55.680 --> 1:10:57.960 know that sounds like such a throwaway. It's not a throwaway, 1:10:58.000 --> 1:11:01.040 and it really I heard. I actually had an interview 1:11:01.479 --> 1:11:04.920 here today with a a would be Okazio Cortez, another 1:11:05.040 --> 1:11:07.960 person who is young trying to unseen an incumbent senator 1:11:08.040 --> 1:11:11.040 in the Democrat Democrat Party in Delaware, and she also 1:11:11.080 --> 1:11:13.160 talked about access to credit. So I'm hearing this now, 1:11:13.240 --> 1:11:15.000 this is a thing. You're gonna hear more of this 1:11:17.160 --> 1:11:20.599 and real quick. And then there was something Obama said 1:11:20.600 --> 1:11:22.080 that I have to say. I thought, wait a second, 1:11:22.200 --> 1:11:27.000 this is um like I like that place seventeen but 1:11:27.160 --> 1:11:31.320 democracy demands. They were able also to get inside the 1:11:31.360 --> 1:11:34.600 reality of people who are different than us, so we 1:11:34.680 --> 1:11:37.599 can understand their point of view. Maybe we can change 1:11:37.680 --> 1:11:43.479 their minds, but maybe they'll change ours. And you can't 1:11:43.520 --> 1:11:45.760 do this if you're just out of hand disregard what 1:11:45.880 --> 1:11:50.000 your opponents have to say from the start. And you 1:11:50.040 --> 1:11:53.000 can't do it if you insist that those who aren't 1:11:53.000 --> 1:11:58.040 like you because they're white or because they're male, that 1:11:58.200 --> 1:12:01.639 somehow there's no way they can under stand what I'm feeling, 1:12:02.560 --> 1:12:05.920 but somehow they're lack standing to speak on certain matters. 1:12:07.680 --> 1:12:11.160 I think that's great. I've never heard Obama say anything 1:12:11.200 --> 1:12:14.080 like that before. I'm not saying he hasn't. I mean, 1:12:14.080 --> 1:12:15.920 I just say I I can't remember ever saying it 1:12:16.040 --> 1:12:19.240 like that before. Was that a message that you that 1:12:19.400 --> 1:12:21.960 just because you're you're you know, you're a white male, 1:12:22.040 --> 1:12:24.519 for example, doesn't mean you can't understand the plight of 1:12:24.960 --> 1:12:27.320 a grieve minorities or and people need to understand that 1:12:27.439 --> 1:12:29.400 and occur. Is that a message that you feel like 1:12:29.479 --> 1:12:31.560 came through from the eight years of the Obama administration. 1:12:32.560 --> 1:12:34.559 I'm just going off on my own recollection here. I'm 1:12:34.600 --> 1:12:36.240 not you know, I don't need any any of the 1:12:36.280 --> 1:12:38.720 crazy fact checkers out there in a politic fact or whatever. 1:12:38.720 --> 1:12:40.000 They don't need to jump on me. I'm just saying 1:12:40.000 --> 1:12:41.960 I don't I don't remember that at all. I'm totally 1:12:42.000 --> 1:12:44.799 behind that message. I want people to try to understand 1:12:44.800 --> 1:12:47.120 each other. I want people to come to good faith 1:12:47.479 --> 1:12:52.160 resolutions of political disagreements. So, okay, if that's the message 1:12:52.200 --> 1:12:53.600 Obama wants to go with, I'm all for it. But 1:12:53.680 --> 1:12:56.400 I have a feeling what you're gonna see between now 1:12:56.479 --> 1:13:00.559 in the midterms is a lot more Obama give lectures 1:13:00.640 --> 1:13:06.160 abroad end at home about how all these terrible things 1:13:06.200 --> 1:13:08.559 are happening to the country, and he won't really mention Trump. 1:13:09.479 --> 1:13:11.120 And I just wish if he was going to be 1:13:11.240 --> 1:13:15.040 out there and ignoring the precedent sent by his predecessor, 1:13:15.080 --> 1:13:17.080 if he's gonna be out there and being in the 1:13:17.120 --> 1:13:20.760 political fight, be honest about a former president Obama, just 1:13:20.800 --> 1:13:22.439 say what you mean to me when you say how 1:13:22.479 --> 1:13:25.400 about that?

Buck Sexton mission Decoding the 1:14:36.320 --> 1:14:43.679 news and disseminating information with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake American. 1:14:44.560 --> 1:14:48.160 You're a great American again. This is the Buck Sexton Show. 1:14:49.800 --> 1:14:57.160 Analyst No Welcome back to the Buck Sexton Show. You 1:14:57.400 --> 1:15:04.400 may recall that the founder of Papa John's. John Schnatter 1:15:05.960 --> 1:15:12.360 got embroiled in a racial slur scandal recently, and the 1:15:12.520 --> 1:15:15.479 board of Papa John's, a company that he was founder 1:15:15.560 --> 1:15:17.599 of and still owns a large piece of worth about 1:15:17.640 --> 1:15:20.559 five million dollars by the way. So Schnader is going 1:15:20.640 --> 1:15:22.240 to be fine out either way. But you know, your 1:15:22.280 --> 1:15:24.720 reputation is your reputation, no matter how rich you are. 1:15:26.080 --> 1:15:29.639 What Schnader had, the board turned on him, he resigned. 1:15:29.640 --> 1:15:33.759 They're pulling him out of all of the marketing materials 1:15:33.800 --> 1:15:36.120 from Papa John's, and they really decided that he was 1:15:36.280 --> 1:15:38.400 He was not just a little bit out, he was out, 1:15:38.840 --> 1:15:41.320 and they were going to erase all trace of his 1:15:41.439 --> 1:15:44.720 presence at that company. I guess, other than changing the 1:15:44.840 --> 1:15:47.800 name from Papa John's to something else, because his name 1:15:47.880 --> 1:15:49.960 is John, I'm assuming maybe it's for his dad. I 1:15:50.000 --> 1:15:54.599 don't know. I will also say that, well, I won't 1:15:54.640 --> 1:15:57.000 get into because people would point out rightly that I 1:15:57.040 --> 1:15:59.160 haven't had any fast food pizza in about ten years 1:15:59.160 --> 1:16:02.679 because I can't flower, and didn't know that until well 1:16:02.800 --> 1:16:07.599 but seven or eight years ago. But nonetheless, uh, that's 1:16:07.600 --> 1:16:09.760 not really important for our discussion. What is important here 1:16:11.040 --> 1:16:15.479 is that Schnatter, formerly the CEO of Papa John's, is 1:16:15.560 --> 1:16:17.840 now saying that he made a mistake in stepping down, 1:16:18.680 --> 1:16:21.000 and then he should not have just allowed the board 1:16:21.080 --> 1:16:24.519 to push him out right away because the full story 1:16:24.680 --> 1:16:29.080 didn't really come out about his usage of a racial slur, 1:16:29.280 --> 1:16:34.560 in this case, reportedly the N word. Now, I have 1:16:35.200 --> 1:16:40.960 somewhat uh, blasphemous views on this, in the sense that 1:16:41.120 --> 1:16:44.360 I do not believe that there should be such a 1:16:44.560 --> 1:16:48.320 thing as a word that any person is unable to 1:16:48.600 --> 1:16:54.560 use in any context, such that if I were, you know, 1:16:54.720 --> 1:16:56.960 in a court of law, and I was reading back 1:16:57.040 --> 1:16:59.479 the testimony of somebody who had just said a word, 1:16:59.840 --> 1:17:01.559 I would have to change the word to something else 1:17:01.680 --> 1:17:04.400 because of who I am, not because of a universally 1:17:05.040 --> 1:17:08.120 applicable standard. It's one thing to say, buck, you're on radio, 1:17:08.200 --> 1:17:11.839 you can't curse. There's something to say, well, Buck, because 1:17:12.000 --> 1:17:15.639 you are, let's say, a Republican on radio, you can't curse. 1:17:15.720 --> 1:17:19.240 But Democrats can curse on radio. And I know that's 1:17:19.240 --> 1:17:20.639 not what happens, but I'm just trying to say. That's 1:17:20.680 --> 1:17:24.879 what I mean by different rules for different people. Universally 1:17:24.920 --> 1:17:26.840 applicable means no one can say it, and then we 1:17:26.880 --> 1:17:29.360 can discuss, and we can discuss whether or not a 1:17:29.479 --> 1:17:33.960 prohibition is sensible on a word of prohibition is something 1:17:34.040 --> 1:17:37.360 that we could all agree on or not. But prohibitions 1:17:37.400 --> 1:17:41.320 that vary by person, I think are inherently problematic. I 1:17:41.360 --> 1:17:43.720 remember an essay years ago that Christopher Hitchins wrote on 1:17:43.800 --> 1:17:48.320 the pernicious effect of banning words. And he was somebody 1:17:48.320 --> 1:17:51.040 who liked to be provocative. He was a great writer, 1:17:51.920 --> 1:17:55.800 a anti Christian bigot, but a great writer. Nonetheless, I mean, 1:17:55.920 --> 1:17:59.920 very talented writer. And you know he took that position. 1:18:00.000 --> 1:18:01.960 I agree with the position, and it reminds me of 1:18:02.760 --> 1:18:09.480 the kerfuffle now that surrounds well, the debacle that surrounds 1:18:10.280 --> 1:18:13.080 John Schnatter. People are calling him. Look, they're saying he's 1:18:13.080 --> 1:18:16.559 a racist. And the way that story was initially reported, 1:18:16.600 --> 1:18:22.200 here's a very wealthy, nationally recognizable at some level guy 1:18:22.760 --> 1:18:26.840 who apparently used a racial slur. And what we find 1:18:26.920 --> 1:18:30.599 out is that, well, he didn't just drop a racial 1:18:30.720 --> 1:18:34.000 slur in conversation. He certainly didn't refer to anyone as 1:18:34.080 --> 1:18:36.120 a racial slur. Here's what the Wall Street Journal says, 1:18:36.200 --> 1:18:40.160 quote in his letter to the board, Mr Schnatter said 1:18:40.600 --> 1:18:43.320 he was asked during the media training whether he is racist, 1:18:43.400 --> 1:18:46.519 and he answered no. Quote. I then said something on 1:18:46.600 --> 1:18:52.519 the order of Colonel Sanders used the N word. I 1:18:52.600 --> 1:18:55.599 would never use that word, and Papa John's doesn't use 1:18:55.720 --> 1:18:58.920 that word. End quote. Now he said the word right, 1:18:59.120 --> 1:19:01.880 not the N word, but the actual word that we 1:19:02.000 --> 1:19:05.040 all know is you know, is the is the other 1:19:05.960 --> 1:19:09.479 way of saying that is the other word. And that's 1:19:09.520 --> 1:19:14.400 what he had this national level that's what he had, 1:19:14.439 --> 1:19:17.120 this this national level crisis about for his company and 1:19:17.400 --> 1:19:20.120 for him as an individual. And I look at this 1:19:20.200 --> 1:19:22.320 and I think to myself, so we're really at the 1:19:22.360 --> 1:19:26.360 place now where if I were to read aloud, let's say, 1:19:26.760 --> 1:19:31.439 from Uh Huckleberry finn Uh, and if you were to 1:19:31.520 --> 1:19:36.160 read some of the dialogue of characters in the Mark 1:19:36.320 --> 1:19:40.720 and Mark Twain novels and you did not change what 1:19:41.000 --> 1:19:43.640 was the written text and you read that aloud, I 1:19:43.800 --> 1:19:47.640 think you would be subject to the rage of the 1:19:47.680 --> 1:19:50.320 social justice mob, and your career and your reputation may 1:19:50.360 --> 1:19:55.559 be ruined. Schnader did not use a racial epithet against 1:19:55.640 --> 1:19:58.200 any person, nor did he drop a racial epithet into 1:19:58.439 --> 1:20:02.920 his conversation. Thought lest lee. He said, I would not 1:20:03.160 --> 1:20:07.920 say this word, but by saying the word, he transgressed, Folks, 1:20:08.160 --> 1:20:12.360 I think this is a problem, and it really only 1:20:13.600 --> 1:20:16.840 from what I can gather, it really only is the 1:20:16.960 --> 1:20:19.680 case with this one word right now. I don't know. 1:20:19.840 --> 1:20:22.080 Maybe there are a few other words that aren't people 1:20:22.120 --> 1:20:24.519 aren't as sensitive about, but where there's also a if 1:20:24.560 --> 1:20:27.400 you're from within the community, you can say it, but 1:20:27.520 --> 1:20:30.160 if you're outside the community, you can. I I even 1:20:30.280 --> 1:20:34.960 willing to discuss usage of banned words in certain contexts, 1:20:35.240 --> 1:20:37.439 but I want to be very clear from what from 1:20:37.479 --> 1:20:41.519 what is being reported here about Schnatter, founder of Papa 1:20:41.600 --> 1:20:43.680 John's Pizza Once. I'm sure most of you listening to 1:20:43.760 --> 1:20:45.679 this have probably eaten at some point in time. Maybe 1:20:45.720 --> 1:20:47.120 some of you think it's great pizza. I don't know. 1:20:48.160 --> 1:20:51.680 I don't know why. I don't know. But what what 1:20:51.920 --> 1:20:55.120 Schnatter is pillar read for and what he has lost 1:20:55.200 --> 1:20:57.800 his reputation for and lost his place on the board 1:20:57.840 --> 1:21:00.800 of the company he founded, is using a word, or 1:21:00.960 --> 1:21:04.840 rather citing a word that someone else used. So this 1:21:05.040 --> 1:21:08.720 is now usage in any context is racist, is band 1:21:08.840 --> 1:21:12.120 is wrong? Depending on who the person is. That is 1:21:12.360 --> 1:21:16.560 a pretty extreme bar for us to deal with. And 1:21:16.920 --> 1:21:18.960 I think it also goes to show that this is 1:21:20.200 --> 1:21:22.679 that that that this is now getting to a place 1:21:22.840 --> 1:21:27.639 where the rules are well, I don't know, I don't 1:21:27.640 --> 1:21:30.160 know really what the rules already, Moore, other than you 1:21:30.320 --> 1:21:32.519 better be very careful if you are not from within 1:21:32.640 --> 1:21:36.519 the community that is allowed to use certain uh you know, 1:21:36.680 --> 1:21:40.799 racial terms, racial terminology. You have to be super careful 1:21:40.960 --> 1:21:44.120 because everyone's going to just throw you to the wolves 1:21:44.240 --> 1:21:47.320 right away. And I just I do not agree with 1:21:47.400 --> 1:21:49.120 this in principle. I do not agree with their words 1:21:49.160 --> 1:21:52.479 that some people can never use under any circumstances. I 1:21:52.560 --> 1:21:55.160 think it's a dangerous precedent in our language. I think 1:21:55.160 --> 1:21:58.360 it's dangerous for our discourse. I just disagree with it. 1:21:58.640 --> 1:22:00.840 But you'll notice I won't viol at it. You know, 1:22:01.000 --> 1:22:03.840 I'm not, And I'm not gonna be an idiot, right, 1:22:03.920 --> 1:22:05.880 I mean, I understand these are the rules. Now I 1:22:06.080 --> 1:22:09.760 disagree with the rules, but these are the rules. Um. 1:22:10.200 --> 1:22:13.800 And then there's this other. Remember I'm not saying use 1:22:13.960 --> 1:22:16.200 use of racial epithets is ever okay or a good 1:22:16.280 --> 1:22:19.360 idea in everyday speech or anything else. What I'm saying 1:22:19.520 --> 1:22:23.120 is the ban on the actual saying of a word ever. 1:22:23.320 --> 1:22:25.080 I mean, it's like Voldemort, it's you know, he who 1:22:25.200 --> 1:22:28.280 shall not be spoken of. That is not something that 1:22:28.320 --> 1:22:30.560 I want as a precedent in the English language in 1:22:30.600 --> 1:22:32.640 an American society. That's not something that I think we 1:22:32.680 --> 1:22:35.759 should be in favor of. And there are some liberals, 1:22:35.840 --> 1:22:38.200 there are some civil libertarians and some liberals out there 1:22:38.240 --> 1:22:40.240 who still agree with me. There are a few, there 1:22:40.240 --> 1:22:42.439 are a few. You know, if someone says a word 1:22:42.479 --> 1:22:44.639 in the wrong, if someone calls someone racial epithet, Yeah, 1:22:44.680 --> 1:22:46.840 that's an assault on their in you know, decency as 1:22:46.880 --> 1:22:49.720 a person, on their integrity, and that's you know, that 1:22:49.840 --> 1:22:51.479 person should be named and shamed and all that. I 1:22:51.560 --> 1:22:53.920 get that I'm talking about. You can't say the word 1:22:54.000 --> 1:22:57.680 ever period in any context. That's too far. I just 1:22:57.760 --> 1:23:01.400 think that's too far. Uh. And then also on on 1:23:01.560 --> 1:23:07.120 Schnatter stepping down and stepping down quickly. We we have 1:23:07.240 --> 1:23:09.439 seen a shift happen. And it's not just in this case. 1:23:09.520 --> 1:23:12.400 That's in many cases where when there is when political 1:23:12.479 --> 1:23:18.639 correctness demands someone's head, you no longer get any benefit 1:23:18.800 --> 1:23:24.559 from bowing and apologizing to the mob. You no longer 1:23:24.600 --> 1:23:27.920 actually drive any benefit they you know, they go King 1:23:28.040 --> 1:23:30.439 Geoffrey from Game of Thrones on you. You admit your 1:23:30.520 --> 1:23:33.759 crime and then they take your head. There is no mercy. 1:23:34.520 --> 1:23:37.040 So that's going to change our our discourse. I think 1:23:37.040 --> 1:23:38.920 for a lot of folks going forward, I think there's 1:23:38.960 --> 1:23:42.840 a greater recognition now than ever before that if you 1:23:43.760 --> 1:23:47.040 it used to be they wanted the apology, but they 1:23:47.080 --> 1:23:49.840 would kind of let you slink off into public life 1:23:49.920 --> 1:23:52.120 afterwards as long as you apologize and did the whole 1:23:52.479 --> 1:23:54.120 You had to do a grovel tour for a while 1:23:54.200 --> 1:23:58.360 if you offended the social justice mob. Now, if you 1:23:58.439 --> 1:24:01.160 offend the social justice mob, you might as well make 1:24:01.240 --> 1:24:03.760 a last stand for your career. You might as well 1:24:04.600 --> 1:24:07.920 argue and plead your case and stand and fight unless 1:24:07.960 --> 1:24:10.560 you are really giving into the dictates of your own conscience, 1:24:10.920 --> 1:24:13.800 unless you really believe you aired. And then that's but 1:24:14.520 --> 1:24:18.080 you get no you get no benefit from the other side. 1:24:18.120 --> 1:24:20.120 And I've seen it in case after case. Now you 1:24:20.240 --> 1:24:24.840 do not get any understanding, any second chance. When the 1:24:24.920 --> 1:24:27.439 social justice mob comes for you. It is now a 1:24:27.600 --> 1:24:32.360 last stand for your career, for your livelihood. Uh. And 1:24:32.520 --> 1:24:35.040 that's it's just a lesson that you see here. If 1:24:35.080 --> 1:24:37.080 you stepped out. If you give up your ability to 1:24:37.240 --> 1:24:39.760 fight back and plead your case. I'm not saying, you 1:24:39.840 --> 1:24:43.640 know whether this is not about Schnatter, this is just 1:24:43.760 --> 1:24:47.920 in general. If you say, okay, I'm sorry, punish me 1:24:48.200 --> 1:24:50.240 and and let me go forward, what you'll find out now, 1:24:50.360 --> 1:24:52.080 and this is a change from some years ago, is 1:24:52.520 --> 1:24:55.200 oh no, we appreciate that you're sorry, but we're still 1:24:55.240 --> 1:24:58.160 going to ruin you, and there will be no second chance, 1:24:58.560 --> 1:25:00.160 and you are going to be held up as an 1:25:00.200 --> 1:25:04.280 example to others. You are now a cautionary tale. You 1:25:04.360 --> 1:25:06.560 are not somebody who can be brought back into There's 1:25:06.600 --> 1:25:09.880 no rehabilitation by the social justice mob. Now you are done. 1:25:10.439 --> 1:25:15.040 Now you are finished. That's a dangerous change, I think 1:25:15.240 --> 1:25:18.640 in in the character of our discussions around culture and 1:25:18.720 --> 1:25:22.320 politics and everything else. Uh. And you know that that 1:25:22.520 --> 1:25:26.599 Schnaders said the word he said obviously shows poor judgment, 1:25:27.720 --> 1:25:30.000 but you know it brings you back to this. Okay, 1:25:30.080 --> 1:25:31.680 So we really are at a place now where you 1:25:31.720 --> 1:25:34.400 are never you based on who you are, not based 1:25:34.479 --> 1:25:36.160 on the power of a word itself, based on who 1:25:36.240 --> 1:25:38.880 you are, in this case, based on your skin color, 1:25:39.720 --> 1:25:43.679 can be permanently and forever in all context. Banned from 1:25:43.920 --> 1:25:48.400 uttering a word doesn't matter what the context is. That 1:25:48.600 --> 1:25:51.080 is a dangerous precedent. I don't care what anybody says. 1:25:51.200 --> 1:25:56.080 That is not something that we should just sit blithely 1:25:56.240 --> 1:26:00.360 by while that is a precedent in America. So I 1:26:00.439 --> 1:26:03.200 know people people disagree with me on the conservatives disagree 1:26:03.200 --> 1:26:05.080 with me on this. That's fine. I'm I am pleading 1:26:05.160 --> 1:26:09.400 my case here, for there must always be the context 1:26:09.520 --> 1:26:12.640 of a word's usage has to matter in the evaluation 1:26:13.040 --> 1:26:16.600 of whether or not somebody has transgrassed, as you know, 1:26:16.720 --> 1:26:19.840 has shown themselves to be deficient in their character. The 1:26:19.960 --> 1:26:25.320 context matters. Just the word can't just be forever banned. 1:26:27.439 --> 1:26:29.479 All right, Maybe I'll tell you a happy story. Come 1:26:29.479 --> 1:26:32.519 o up here, stay with me. It can be the 1:26:32.560 --> 1:26:34.680 little things that creep up on you. It can be 1:26:34.920 --> 1:26:37.960 those little details that you skip over that make the 1:26:38.040 --> 1:26:41.120 difference between a really smart business decision and one you're 1:26:41.160 --> 1:26:43.160 gonna regret, and it could cost you a lot of money, 1:26:43.200 --> 1:26:45.639 could even cost your business if you're not careful. Global 1:26:45.760 --> 1:26:49.439 Verification Network has your back on all these issues. When 1:26:49.479 --> 1:26:52.559 it comes to investigations and vetting, you need to call 1:26:52.640 --> 1:26:55.960 Global Verification Network. They make sure it's all done here 1:26:56.080 --> 1:26:58.400 state side. There are other companies in this space that, 1:26:58.479 --> 1:27:01.600 first of all, aren't dual certified and veteran owned the 1:27:01.600 --> 1:27:04.920 way Global Verification is. And also they send a lot 1:27:05.000 --> 1:27:07.400 of their stuff overseas. You don't know who's really working 1:27:07.439 --> 1:27:10.000 on your case. You know where their servers are, and 1:27:10.120 --> 1:27:12.799 they don't have as good a control over what's actually 1:27:12.840 --> 1:27:16.080 happening day to day. When you call Global Verification, someone 1:27:16.280 --> 1:27:18.800 answers the phone. You don't go to some call center. 1:27:19.080 --> 1:27:21.639 Check it out for yourself. Go to my g VN 1:27:21.760 --> 1:27:24.639 dot com. That's my g VN dot com. Or call 1:27:24.760 --> 1:27:28.599 eight seven seven six nine five nine. That's eight seven 1:27:28.680 --> 1:27:41.400 seven six nine five eleven seventy nine told me before 1:27:41.479 --> 1:27:44.320 here on the show that I think that the skill 1:27:44.720 --> 1:27:49.360 of first days, as in how to approach your first 1:27:49.520 --> 1:27:55.080 day in school, in work, in life, whatever it may be, right, 1:27:55.120 --> 1:27:57.400 whatever it is that you are facing for the first time, 1:27:58.200 --> 1:28:00.240 is one of the more important things. And and it's 1:28:00.280 --> 1:28:02.120 something that I've, as I'm for many of you, have 1:28:02.760 --> 1:28:06.439 dealt with for as long as I can remember, and 1:28:06.479 --> 1:28:08.479 I've gotten better at as i've gotten older, and there 1:28:08.560 --> 1:28:10.960 is a mindset to it. Well, here's a story that 1:28:11.040 --> 1:28:13.800 I just thought, given all the craziness out there right now, 1:28:15.040 --> 1:28:17.280 I would share with you, although I probably I would 1:28:17.280 --> 1:28:19.320 have told you about the story of a lost pug 1:28:20.320 --> 1:28:23.719 in Cape cod that went viral because the cops found 1:28:23.800 --> 1:28:26.120 the pug and then did a mug a mug shot, 1:28:26.200 --> 1:28:28.719 and they called it a pug shot, and they shared 1:28:28.760 --> 1:28:30.400 it so that whoever lost the pug would be able 1:28:30.400 --> 1:28:32.400 to find their pug. And they had a little, you know, 1:28:32.800 --> 1:28:35.240 mug shot thing under the pug where it. Yeah, it 1:28:35.360 --> 1:28:38.040 was really really the whole little nameplate. It was really adorable, 1:28:38.400 --> 1:28:40.479 but you can't see it. So my description of it 1:28:40.520 --> 1:28:42.439 is all I can give you. But this is also 1:28:42.439 --> 1:28:44.479 a really nice story and it has to do with 1:28:44.600 --> 1:28:48.200 first day. So Walter Carr was supposed to have his 1:28:48.280 --> 1:28:50.559 first day of work with a moving company last week 1:28:50.680 --> 1:28:57.920 in in Alabama, in Homewood, Alabama, and he his car 1:28:58.040 --> 1:29:00.560 broke down the night before, a Sunday night before his 1:29:00.640 --> 1:29:01.960 first day of work, and he was gonna be with 1:29:02.040 --> 1:29:05.720 this moving company. So instead of doing a lot of 1:29:05.720 --> 1:29:11.320 folks would have done, he just walked. He walked fourteen 1:29:12.280 --> 1:29:16.040 miles to his first job site, straight through the night. 1:29:16.120 --> 1:29:19.320 Walked fourteen miles and arrived at the place where he 1:29:19.360 --> 1:29:21.559 was supposed to join his team to be a mover, 1:29:22.760 --> 1:29:24.960 and he got there for everybody else, and he found 1:29:25.000 --> 1:29:29.040 out that rather the family that was high that hired 1:29:29.080 --> 1:29:31.640 the movers found out that this gentleman car and his 1:29:31.720 --> 1:29:33.559 mother were from New Orleans and they lost their home 1:29:33.640 --> 1:29:36.519 during hurricane contry and then moved to Alabama. And this 1:29:36.640 --> 1:29:40.639 guy was very, very very humble and told the rest 1:29:40.720 --> 1:29:43.240 of the crew about how he walked fourteen miles through 1:29:43.360 --> 1:29:46.120 the night after his car broke down because he didn't 1:29:46.640 --> 1:29:49.599 want to be late for his first day on the job. 1:29:50.760 --> 1:29:55.400 And now this has gone viral and the owner of 1:29:55.560 --> 1:30:00.519 this the owner of this moving company called l Hops, 1:30:02.320 --> 1:30:07.200 has gifted a car to car his last name is C. A. R. R. 1:30:07.320 --> 1:30:11.519 But gave him four to escape as a thank you 1:30:11.760 --> 1:30:14.880 for exemplifying. Look, it's a great pr move for the 1:30:14.920 --> 1:30:16.720 moving company. And Mike, you know, we all know this, right, 1:30:17.160 --> 1:30:21.120 but for exemplifying this, you know, can do attitude and 1:30:21.200 --> 1:30:22.960 and just not want to be late on his first day. 1:30:23.920 --> 1:30:25.240 And I'll tell you know, I've had to learn this. 1:30:25.320 --> 1:30:28.120 I've had to learn this myself, even relatively small things. 1:30:28.680 --> 1:30:31.280 You know, A couple of first day first day advice 1:30:31.360 --> 1:30:32.840 that I give out there. And you know, you're never 1:30:32.920 --> 1:30:35.439 too old for a first day. You know, maybe it's 1:30:35.840 --> 1:30:38.000 if not, Yeah, we think of it usually with jobs 1:30:38.080 --> 1:30:42.639 or with school, but you know, first day anywhere, first 1:30:42.720 --> 1:30:46.519 day in a in a new gym can feel a 1:30:46.520 --> 1:30:48.640 little weird, first day in a you know, you go 1:30:48.720 --> 1:30:51.200 down the line, whatever it may be. You know, if 1:30:51.200 --> 1:30:53.439 you're traveling overseas, your first day at a place, you know, 1:30:53.560 --> 1:30:56.639 what's the one I always feel like one. Don't try 1:30:56.760 --> 1:30:59.720 to go big on the first day. This is just 1:30:59.800 --> 1:31:03.040 my own personal recollection. You know, don't be the guy 1:31:03.240 --> 1:31:07.600 that tries to don't try to make an impression on 1:31:07.720 --> 1:31:10.360 your first day. Leave an impression on your first day. 1:31:10.600 --> 1:31:12.720 What I mean by that is, you know, don't try 1:31:12.840 --> 1:31:16.479 to rearrange the company's way of doing business day one. 1:31:17.280 --> 1:31:22.320 Just go along and be the guy that everyone is 1:31:22.320 --> 1:31:24.320 glad or gal that everyone's glad is there. You know 1:31:24.400 --> 1:31:26.160 that you're you're there to work, to do your job, 1:31:26.320 --> 1:31:29.519 to be helpful. And and I will say I borrow 1:31:29.600 --> 1:31:32.559 this from my dad, who, by the way, his birthday 1:31:33.360 --> 1:31:36.160 is in fact coming up, so I'm excited to be 1:31:36.200 --> 1:31:39.680 giving him a happy birthday here on the show. Um, 1:31:39.920 --> 1:31:44.160 but you know, I my my dad always his attitude 1:31:44.280 --> 1:31:47.600 is everything, and in work and in school, it's the 1:31:47.680 --> 1:31:50.439 first day, definitely. That's the one thing that people pick 1:31:50.560 --> 1:31:52.640 up on, and it's something I'll tell you. I'm not 1:31:52.760 --> 1:31:55.160 great at hiding my attitude about things. My family would 1:31:55.200 --> 1:31:57.360 laugh if they heard this. For somebody used to be 1:31:57.360 --> 1:31:59.639 an in talvient officer. I'm good at detecting other people's 1:32:00.680 --> 1:32:02.840 b s, if you will, I'm not good at doing 1:32:02.920 --> 1:32:05.800 my own bs. And that means that I'm also not 1:32:05.920 --> 1:32:07.840 good at putting on a happy face when I'm not 1:32:07.880 --> 1:32:10.720 happy about something or if I'm not loving the way 1:32:10.760 --> 1:32:12.200 things are going in the first day. So I've learned 1:32:12.200 --> 1:32:13.720 to get better at that. I wouldn't to get better 1:32:13.760 --> 1:32:15.280 at that. Another thing I think I might have mentioned 1:32:15.320 --> 1:32:18.600 this before on the show, uh is you know I 1:32:18.720 --> 1:32:21.680 used to think it wouldn't matter because I've always had 1:32:21.680 --> 1:32:23.800 a lot of hair. I know it's a humble brag, 1:32:23.920 --> 1:32:27.400 but it wasn't until very later on in life when 1:32:27.479 --> 1:32:29.439 someone finally told me he was actually on the NYPD 1:32:30.160 --> 1:32:36.400 do not arrive for work late. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. 1:32:36.640 --> 1:32:38.479 It doesn't matter if you don't arrive for work late. 1:32:38.600 --> 1:32:41.880 Let me redo this. If your hair is wet, it 1:32:42.000 --> 1:32:44.759 looks like you just got out of the shower, because 1:32:44.760 --> 1:32:46.439 I always thought, come on, hair dry I don't need 1:32:46.479 --> 1:32:48.720 a hair dryer, right, that's for I always thought that's 1:32:48.760 --> 1:32:50.600 kind of for ladies. Honestly, that was my thinking with this, 1:32:50.640 --> 1:32:52.880 because I could just air dry my hair. But if 1:32:52.960 --> 1:32:54.720 you you were close enough to work that you know 1:32:54.760 --> 1:32:57.280 I had showered in the morning. And I don't know 1:32:57.360 --> 1:32:59.160 if that's someone people agree with, but it's something that 1:32:59.240 --> 1:33:01.400 I paid more totion too. And especially in a workplace 1:33:01.400 --> 1:33:03.160 where a lot of people were traveling from far away 1:33:03.200 --> 1:33:07.200 to get there, it looked a little people took it 1:33:07.280 --> 1:33:08.880 the wrong way. I guess when I would show up 1:33:08.920 --> 1:33:10.479 if I still had wet hair, I mean, not like 1:33:10.640 --> 1:33:12.200 soaking wet, but you know what I'm saying, if it 1:33:12.240 --> 1:33:14.439 looked like your hair was slicked back and still wet 1:33:14.479 --> 1:33:16.840 because you just you showered it for the morning. So 1:33:17.120 --> 1:33:19.120 little things like that you pick up. But the best 1:33:19.200 --> 1:33:21.519 thing I look, I never walked fourteen miles through the 1:33:21.600 --> 1:33:22.880 night for work, and I don't know if I ever went. 1:33:22.960 --> 1:33:24.960 And that guy is amazing, and you know, congrats to him. 1:33:25.560 --> 1:33:27.800 But my thing that I've I've learned and I've seen 1:33:27.880 --> 1:33:29.599 it on both sides, and I've learned it the hard 1:33:29.640 --> 1:33:33.200 way in the easy way is don't try to make 1:33:33.240 --> 1:33:35.960 an impression. Just know that you are leaving an impression. 1:33:36.400 --> 1:33:40.479 And I think that's a good mantra going into a 1:33:40.560 --> 1:33:42.479 first day wherever you are, and if you're willing to 1:33:42.640 --> 1:33:45.360 work walk fourteen miles through the night to get to 1:33:45.439 --> 1:33:49.280 your jobs. Oh and the other thing is it is true, 1:33:49.439 --> 1:33:51.400 and it just bears repeating. I've learned this, this one 1:33:51.439 --> 1:33:53.439 I have learned the hard way. I've gotten much better 1:33:53.479 --> 1:33:57.080 about this. Cannot be late. You just can't be late. 1:33:58.240 --> 1:34:00.519 You know it, even when people are all about it. 1:34:00.600 --> 1:34:02.599 This is what I've learned, even if it doesn't matter 1:34:02.720 --> 1:34:04.600 that you're not late. And by the way, later on 1:34:04.680 --> 1:34:07.880 you can be late. I'm talking about day one, Day one. 1:34:08.320 --> 1:34:12.040 You absolutely cannot be late. A lot of you are 1:34:12.080 --> 1:34:13.880 like Buck, we already know this. But I just for 1:34:14.160 --> 1:34:15.760 some of the young uns out there listening, some of 1:34:15.800 --> 1:34:19.400 the team Buck campus, trust me. Even when they say 1:34:19.439 --> 1:34:21.880 it's okay, it's not okay when you're late. We'll be 1:34:21.960 --> 1:34:37.240 right back. He's holding the line for America. Buck sext 1:34:37.280 --> 1:34:44.280 in his back from I just saw your chriss conference 1:34:44.320 --> 1:34:47.320 with President Putin and he was embarrassing. I mean you 1:34:47.400 --> 1:34:50.280 stood there like a little with noodle, like a little 1:34:50.760 --> 1:34:53.840 uh fanboy. I mean I was asking. I said, when 1:34:53.840 --> 1:34:56.000 you're gonna ask him for an autocrat for selfie or 1:34:56.040 --> 1:34:57.960 something like that? Yeah, when you want to ask him 1:34:58.000 --> 1:35:00.639 for this? Healfie. I mean you live. He sold out 1:35:00.640 --> 1:35:04.439 the dispress conference, our intelligence community, our justice system, in 1:35:04.520 --> 1:35:07.479 worst of all our country. You're the president of the 1:35:07.560 --> 1:35:09.720 United States. You shouldn't do that. You shouldn't do that. 1:35:09.840 --> 1:35:12.599 You're girling on And what's a metal with you? Who 1:35:12.760 --> 1:35:14.680 is your daddy? And what does he do? I mean, 1:35:14.720 --> 1:35:17.559 whatever happened to the strong words or to the strength 1:35:17.920 --> 1:35:20.080 of Ronald Reagan? And he stood there at the Berlin 1:35:20.160 --> 1:35:24.240 Wall and he said, Mr Guobachev, tear down this wall. 1:35:24.920 --> 1:35:27.560 What happened? Don't that? What are your arms compuny for 1:35:27.600 --> 1:35:32.400 the governator? What happened? Don't that? Hen Trump's even lost 1:35:32.439 --> 1:35:35.200 the governator on this one. Oh no, what's he gonna do? 1:35:36.479 --> 1:35:40.560 I don't remember anybody particularly caring what Schwarzenegger had to 1:35:40.640 --> 1:35:44.000 say about foreign policy while he was governor of California. 1:35:44.040 --> 1:35:46.960 I'm pretty sure not too many folks will care now 1:35:47.040 --> 1:35:49.240 about this, but I did think one thing was interesting 1:35:49.320 --> 1:35:53.200 about Look, Uh, Schwarzenegger's Austrian. By the way. People always 1:35:53.240 --> 1:35:56.519 think of him as being German because accident, Yeah, Hans 1:35:56.560 --> 1:36:00.120 and Franz. But he's actually Austrian. And it's like I 1:36:00.320 --> 1:36:03.160 who has an incredible story, even his life story in 1:36:03.200 --> 1:36:07.240 the States is amazing. But when he says that he's 1:36:07.280 --> 1:36:10.400 talking about Gorbachoff and and uh, talking to the era 1:36:10.479 --> 1:36:13.200 of Gorbatof and yelts In and and Reagan and you know, 1:36:13.280 --> 1:36:16.639 tear down this wall and all this stuff, I gotta 1:36:16.680 --> 1:36:22.599 say that's the kind of rhetoric that conservatives certainly celebrate. 1:36:22.680 --> 1:36:25.559 But we celebrated in the context of we're facing down 1:36:25.600 --> 1:36:27.840 the Soviet Union, an evil empire that threatened the world 1:36:27.920 --> 1:36:31.800 with annihilation. We really aren't doing that anymore. And I 1:36:32.080 --> 1:36:35.840 I I understand right now that the temperature is very hot. 1:36:36.520 --> 1:36:39.760 People are really fired off about this whole thing, and 1:36:40.360 --> 1:36:42.519 and they're saying stuff that's that I think it's just 1:36:43.400 --> 1:36:45.800 it's just borderline crazy. I mean, they're saying things about 1:36:45.880 --> 1:36:48.600 the president or no that are crazy. Forget borderline that 1:36:48.680 --> 1:36:52.400 that are crazy, But but I also, you know, I 1:36:52.479 --> 1:36:54.639 think it's such a loss for us, and maybe I'm 1:36:55.680 --> 1:36:57.360 I'm off on a on a tangent. I just think 1:36:57.400 --> 1:37:01.360 it's such a loss for us that entertain nurs not Schwartzeninger, 1:37:01.360 --> 1:37:03.360 I knows, a politician, and people are even thinking maybe 1:37:03.400 --> 1:37:05.840 he'd run for president at some point. Some of you 1:37:05.960 --> 1:37:09.800 will recall in the movie Demolition Man still still Sylvester Stallone, 1:37:10.560 --> 1:37:14.440 this this action movie stuff, Sylvester Stallone makes an offhanded 1:37:14.520 --> 1:37:17.880 joke about President Schwarzeneger one day, right because he wakes 1:37:17.920 --> 1:37:19.920 up in the future and there's been a President Schwarzeneger 1:37:20.960 --> 1:37:23.599 in the era of Trump, and it feels like none 1:37:23.640 --> 1:37:26.960 of that stuff can really be considered to be impossible. 1:37:27.520 --> 1:37:29.160 And I just thought that was that was kind of 1:37:29.200 --> 1:37:31.320 stuck with. It's like, wow, President Schwarzeneger. People are thinking 1:37:31.320 --> 1:37:33.720 about that for a while. But I do wish that 1:37:33.840 --> 1:37:40.080 we could have some separation of our entertainment culture from 1:37:40.360 --> 1:37:42.840 the constant stream of politics. Hey, I know this has 1:37:42.880 --> 1:37:47.559 become a conservative point of contention here, that that everything 1:37:47.760 --> 1:37:50.759 is now political, but I really do find it troubling. 1:37:50.800 --> 1:37:54.000 I mean, it does bother me. I wish it wasn't 1:37:54.040 --> 1:37:57.519 the case. Occasionally I see something that I go, oh wow, 1:37:58.200 --> 1:38:00.800 there's some there's a little bit of cultural commentary that 1:38:00.880 --> 1:38:02.720 breaks with them, a little bit of bravery. I like 1:38:02.920 --> 1:38:07.679 this show Silicon Valley, even though it's the people say 1:38:07.720 --> 1:38:10.519 it's like the Rise of the Beta mails over, you 1:38:10.560 --> 1:38:12.640 know the rest and all the that's all, you know, 1:38:12.720 --> 1:38:16.439 that's all kind of nonsense. But it's a funny show. 1:38:16.479 --> 1:38:18.240 It's might judge the guy who did Office Space. I 1:38:18.360 --> 1:38:20.000 like it, and I just I'm getting caught up in 1:38:20.040 --> 1:38:22.320 the latest season. Over the weekend, I saw an episode 1:38:23.040 --> 1:38:27.880 where the big the big problem is that there is 1:38:27.960 --> 1:38:31.360 a character who is gay and Christian, and I won't 1:38:31.400 --> 1:38:33.479 get into all the details, but he's the gonna be 1:38:33.560 --> 1:38:37.760 the proprietor of a website. And the guy, the main 1:38:37.880 --> 1:38:41.200 character from the show outs him not as as gay 1:38:41.280 --> 1:38:44.120 because he's openly gay and that's fine in Silicon Valley 1:38:44.160 --> 1:38:47.640 and everyone's fine with it. Outs him as Christian and 1:38:48.439 --> 1:38:52.839 the problems that that causes for this startup internet company, 1:38:53.240 --> 1:38:55.479 the problems that causes in Silicon Valley, and I just 1:38:55.600 --> 1:38:59.719 thought it was such It was so refreshing to finally 1:39:00.320 --> 1:39:05.559 an instance of some honesty in what we're being presented 1:39:05.600 --> 1:39:08.639 as comedy. That there's a lot that's going on folks 1:39:08.680 --> 1:39:12.120 that is worthy of of mockery and derision that never 1:39:12.240 --> 1:39:16.200 gets touched because of political correctness and political sensitivities. And 1:39:16.920 --> 1:39:19.760 it is a true thing right now that to be 1:39:20.479 --> 1:39:24.400 any historically marginalized minority of any kind, to be from 1:39:24.400 --> 1:39:27.760 the lgbt Q community, any of that in the Bay 1:39:27.840 --> 1:39:32.040 Area Silicon Valley is not just fine, but it's it 1:39:32.200 --> 1:39:35.080 is openly celebrated, which is fine too, that's a good thing. 1:39:35.720 --> 1:39:40.120 But to be Christian is to subject yourself now to 1:39:40.720 --> 1:39:44.360 real hatred and people don't trust you. And that's not 1:39:44.560 --> 1:39:47.559 a you know. And I was just surprised to see 1:39:47.600 --> 1:39:51.200 that finally someone in pop culture was willing to tackle 1:39:51.280 --> 1:39:53.240 this issue. And look at Mike Judge is very irreverent. 1:39:53.320 --> 1:39:56.240 I'm he's not some he's not blazing the trail for 1:39:56.320 --> 1:39:58.519 Christianity make it come back in America by any means, 1:39:58.880 --> 1:40:01.240 but he the does pick up on the fact that 1:40:01.400 --> 1:40:07.360 right now, uh, it is a precarious thing to live 1:40:07.439 --> 1:40:09.360 your faith and to be a Christian in America now 1:40:10.040 --> 1:40:13.120 you are always being told that you are, that you're 1:40:13.120 --> 1:40:15.439 a bad person that you're a bigot that and you 1:40:15.520 --> 1:40:17.679 have all these politicians like the Pelosi's of the world, 1:40:17.760 --> 1:40:22.120 who say that they're Christians, say that they're favorable towards Christianity. 1:40:22.560 --> 1:40:25.120 But the moment that somebody's actually Christian, whoa, whoa, whoa, 1:40:25.200 --> 1:40:28.360 and then you've got a problem. I know it's straight 1:40:28.439 --> 1:40:30.160 from the governator a bit here, but it just made 1:40:30.160 --> 1:40:32.160 me think. I think of him and entertainment in Hollywood, 1:40:32.200 --> 1:40:34.479 and he is the greatest action movie hero of all times. 1:40:34.560 --> 1:40:37.439 So I wish he was on the Trump trains, but 1:40:37.760 --> 1:40:40.160 you know he's not so and it's not gonna happen. 1:40:40.840 --> 1:40:51.280 Roll Call is up next. Team stay with me, Hey, 1:40:51.640 --> 1:40:55.200 team Buck, It's time for roll call. Let's get to 1:40:55.360 --> 1:40:58.439 the row. Call your thoughts I want to give him, 1:40:58.840 --> 1:41:01.599 want to read them? And then of the Facebook dot 1:41:01.640 --> 1:41:04.719 com slash box Sexton if you want in on this action. 1:41:04.920 --> 1:41:08.200 First up here we have Karen, who writes, I know 1:41:08.280 --> 1:41:12.760 you've been experimenting with what to wear on rising, get 1:41:12.880 --> 1:41:15.960 Ben Dominic to advise you. He looks comfortable and sharp 1:41:16.040 --> 1:41:18.280 in the blue check shirt with the blue blazer with 1:41:18.400 --> 1:41:21.680 the subtle plaid. Thank you, Karen. Ben is a very 1:41:21.760 --> 1:41:24.320 sharp dresser indeed always has been. In fact, Ben tends 1:41:24.360 --> 1:41:28.080 to go for the pocket square, which is something that 1:41:28.200 --> 1:41:33.600 I a shoe in my startorial endeavors. But Ben is 1:41:33.600 --> 1:41:37.439 a buddy and I will certainly go to him if 1:41:37.439 --> 1:41:39.080 I really want help. I'll go to Miss Molly, who 1:41:39.120 --> 1:41:42.040 works in fashion, but I tend not to bother her 1:41:42.120 --> 1:41:45.200 with things like that, although I will ask her for 1:41:45.240 --> 1:41:47.920 a little assistance on the wardrobes. And some of you 1:41:48.040 --> 1:41:52.439 think that that would be a good idea, Aries writes, 1:41:53.000 --> 1:41:55.360 hold up here it comes, but great show today. You're 1:41:55.360 --> 1:41:58.360 getting better and better, unlike other people who recently acquired 1:41:58.400 --> 1:42:02.479 a TV show whose radio shows have suffered. Thank you, Aries. 1:42:02.840 --> 1:42:05.120 I gotta tell you because I have a very different 1:42:05.280 --> 1:42:07.960 style of TV show in the morning. When I get 1:42:08.040 --> 1:42:10.600 the opportunity, when I get the chance to get on 1:42:10.760 --> 1:42:13.519 radio and just be me at night, I'm I'm extra 1:42:13.640 --> 1:42:16.400 fired up about it now, you know, because I gotta look, 1:42:16.400 --> 1:42:18.240 I gotta do a little delicate dance in the morning. 1:42:18.280 --> 1:42:21.000 I gotta be a little uh, a little what's the 1:42:21.080 --> 1:42:23.400 word some of you are yelling out words right now 1:42:23.400 --> 1:42:25.879 that I probably don't want to hear. A little open minded, 1:42:26.080 --> 1:42:30.280 a little bit polite, and at on the Buck Sexton Show, 1:42:30.320 --> 1:42:31.880 it's just Buck Sexton. I get to be me and 1:42:32.000 --> 1:42:34.639 talk to all of you, so I love it. Kelly, 1:42:35.040 --> 1:42:37.679 next up here. As far as the Russian meddling goes, 1:42:38.680 --> 1:42:41.479 I haven't heard anyone defending the intelligence of the American people. 1:42:42.200 --> 1:42:45.320 Facebook ads and tweets are nothing new to us. With 1:42:45.520 --> 1:42:48.439 every single election, lines and half truths are spread by 1:42:48.479 --> 1:42:51.600 opposing candidates. Although most Americans are not experts when it 1:42:51.680 --> 1:42:54.599 comes to politics, we do know to look deeper than 1:42:54.680 --> 1:42:58.200 social media post to determine who gets our votes. This 1:42:58.360 --> 1:43:02.040 whole fiasco angers me because it appears, as usual that 1:43:02.160 --> 1:43:04.920 the powers that be think we the citizens, are naive 1:43:05.040 --> 1:43:07.599 and stupid. We are not stupid, and Donald Trump won 1:43:07.600 --> 1:43:10.320 the election because we are sick and tired of politicians 1:43:10.520 --> 1:43:13.439 running this country into the ground. We wanted to make 1:43:13.479 --> 1:43:15.560 America great again, and it had nothing to do with 1:43:15.680 --> 1:43:18.760 Russia or anyone else posting silly Facebook ads. Thank you 1:43:18.880 --> 1:43:21.960 for letting me vent well, Kelly. Thank you for giving 1:43:22.000 --> 1:43:24.280 words to what a lot of us are thinking. This 1:43:24.439 --> 1:43:28.360 notion that they were able to turn the election, change 1:43:28.360 --> 1:43:30.600 the outcoming election with a few Facebook ads and some 1:43:30.720 --> 1:43:35.640 Russian trolls and this is just it's completely crazy. But 1:43:35.800 --> 1:43:39.400 even beyond that, it is insulting, as though you know, 1:43:39.560 --> 1:43:42.120 some fake news story about pizza gate or something was 1:43:42.200 --> 1:43:45.960 the reason Hillary laws Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan. That is 1:43:46.040 --> 1:43:48.880 not not to mention Florida and Ohio. That is not 1:43:49.120 --> 1:43:52.120 what happened. And you know, the Democrats haven't given up 1:43:52.160 --> 1:43:56.640 on this because ultimately they can't accept that after eight 1:43:56.720 --> 1:44:01.960 years of Obama, there was a repudiation of left wing progressivism, 1:44:02.640 --> 1:44:05.519 that progressive ism has not one, that there is in 1:44:05.600 --> 1:44:09.800 fact an opposition ideologically to what is going on in 1:44:09.920 --> 1:44:13.240 this country on the left. And they just they completely 1:44:13.320 --> 1:44:16.640 and utterly they rejected. They will not be okay with it. 1:44:16.840 --> 1:44:19.560 And I think that that's what's what is driving so 1:44:19.760 --> 1:44:23.840 much of the opposition right now. Brian, next up here, 1:44:23.960 --> 1:44:26.360 have you heard you're talking about books you're reading as 1:44:26.439 --> 1:44:29.760 wondering and wondering if you could put on your website 1:44:29.800 --> 1:44:33.400 a recommended reading lest Brian, we are in the process 1:44:33.520 --> 1:44:36.000 of revamping buck sex and dot com right now. I 1:44:36.120 --> 1:44:38.080 do want to have up a books section that I 1:44:38.120 --> 1:44:41.200 can refer people to. Uh And you know, right now 1:44:41.280 --> 1:44:47.000 I'm I'm reading a book on Cortes, The Conquistador, which 1:44:47.080 --> 1:44:53.000 I highly recommend to you. Uh, I think it's it's 1:44:53.040 --> 1:44:59.680 by Buddy Levy. Actually, Conquistador Hernan Cortes, King Montezuma and 1:44:59.720 --> 1:45:04.000 the as stand uh of the Aztecs is the book 1:45:04.040 --> 1:45:08.040 by Buddy Levy. I'm reading right now on the Kunkistadors 1:45:08.640 --> 1:45:11.200 or on the Conquest, and it is it is excellent. 1:45:11.479 --> 1:45:13.080 I gotta tell you it is. It is a very 1:45:14.200 --> 1:45:17.439 very good book, and I'm I'm pleased with it. I 1:45:17.720 --> 1:45:20.200 would tend to hesitate to usually get a book without 1:45:20.200 --> 1:45:22.759 a real recommendation from someone by a guy named Buddy. 1:45:22.800 --> 1:45:24.559 But then again, my name is Buck. So who am 1:45:24.640 --> 1:45:27.519 I to Who am I to judge? Who am I 1:45:27.680 --> 1:45:30.479 to judge? So I hope you liked that book. I 1:45:30.520 --> 1:45:34.760 also read read Notice recently by Browder, and I'm trying 1:45:34.760 --> 1:45:37.200 to think what else I you know, I read Frankenstein 1:45:37.760 --> 1:45:40.240 some months ago, which I was never assigned in school. 1:45:40.520 --> 1:45:43.680 I gotta tell you, not Great has nothing to do 1:45:43.760 --> 1:45:45.640 with the movie in Frankenstein, the one you think of. 1:45:46.680 --> 1:45:49.960 Not Great. The only Frankenstein I've ever seen in pop 1:45:50.080 --> 1:45:53.479 culture or in any kind of theatrical experience that was 1:45:53.520 --> 1:45:57.080 anywhere near the Frankenstein Monster of well, as you know, 1:45:57.439 --> 1:45:59.280 I know you're read book. It's not though, I no, no, no, 1:46:00.000 --> 1:46:03.840 anywhere near the Frankenstein novel about Dr Frankenstein and the 1:46:03.960 --> 1:46:06.120 Demon as it is often referred to in the book. 1:46:06.160 --> 1:46:08.960 It is not. It's not the Frankenstein Monster, but the 1:46:10.000 --> 1:46:13.800 the only thing that I've ever seen that ever pays 1:46:13.880 --> 1:46:21.000 any real attention to the original novel was by Mary Shelley. 1:46:21.680 --> 1:46:28.880 Was the Cinemax series, Uh, Penny Dreadful. The the the 1:46:29.120 --> 1:46:32.559 Dr Frankenstein and his monster or the demon as it's 1:46:32.560 --> 1:46:35.840 referred to in that is not out of the book, 1:46:35.880 --> 1:46:37.760 but at least there's some similarities to it. And if 1:46:37.800 --> 1:46:40.840 you see that. I thought Penny Dreadful had some great stuff. 1:46:40.920 --> 1:46:43.400 I mean it was overall. The last season was bad, 1:46:43.520 --> 1:46:45.559 which was a shame because it was the Dracula season. 1:46:46.040 --> 1:46:49.560 But the overall Penny Dreadful story arc I thought was 1:46:49.560 --> 1:46:54.080 actually pretty good. I I really enjoyed it. Um alright, 1:46:54.200 --> 1:46:56.720 next up here we have Canny Rights. Hey, Buck, I 1:46:56.760 --> 1:46:59.599 love your show. Thank you for reading the poignant piece 1:46:59.640 --> 1:47:01.800 by the five year old cancer patient who had written 1:47:01.840 --> 1:47:05.200 his own obituary. Kudos because you got through it without 1:47:05.240 --> 1:47:07.439 totally choking up, although your voice did get a little 1:47:07.479 --> 1:47:10.880 thick toward the end. After complaining of headaches for several weeks, 1:47:10.960 --> 1:47:13.960 which is his pediatrician thought were related to his sinuses, 1:47:14.439 --> 1:47:17.400 My grandson Sam was diagnosed with brain cancer just before 1:47:17.439 --> 1:47:20.719 his fifth birthday. Over the next two years, he underwent 1:47:20.800 --> 1:47:24.880 several surgeries, chemo, and radiation. During this trying time, he 1:47:25.000 --> 1:47:28.200 became fascinated with Captain America and just had to have 1:47:28.360 --> 1:47:31.040 all the action figure stuff we could get him. In 1:47:31.080 --> 1:47:33.800 the attached photo, he's wearing his Captain America costume note 1:47:33.840 --> 1:47:36.240 the shield while waiting for the doors to open for 1:47:36.240 --> 1:47:40.200 a Halloween party at his children's hospital in Oregon. Thanks 1:47:40.240 --> 1:47:43.120 to the grace of God, the skilled and dedicated staff 1:47:43.240 --> 1:47:47.240 at Dornbecker Hospital, and the support of Captain America, Sam 1:47:47.320 --> 1:47:51.639 will be celebrating his eleventh birthday this August nine. Shield 1:47:51.840 --> 1:47:56.360 Ye Ken in Washington. Ken, that is a beautiful story 1:47:56.400 --> 1:48:01.120 in great news, Uh and Ken Semi here a photo, Uh, 1:48:01.320 --> 1:48:05.200 a photo of his his grandson when he's fighting the cancer. 1:48:05.280 --> 1:48:07.880 And then a photo now where he just looks great 1:48:08.080 --> 1:48:11.559 and you know, totally healthy and God bless men. I'm 1:48:11.600 --> 1:48:14.519 so happy that you know, your your grandson won his fight, 1:48:14.600 --> 1:48:18.400 pulled through and has a long and and enjoyous life 1:48:18.479 --> 1:48:21.120 ahead of him. Now, uh, it's always you know, you 1:48:21.280 --> 1:48:23.839 gotta remember the important stuff. I think yesterday in particular, 1:48:23.880 --> 1:48:27.160 people were just so wrapped up and and what really 1:48:27.240 --> 1:48:29.120 doesn't have I'm just gonna say that, you know, it 1:48:29.200 --> 1:48:30.800 doesn't have that much to do with him. It's it's 1:48:30.840 --> 1:48:33.320 just not worth it. What really matters to you is 1:48:33.360 --> 1:48:35.160 your day to day. You know, how you act, who 1:48:35.240 --> 1:48:38.680 you are, how you treat people, what you're accomplishing, how 1:48:38.760 --> 1:48:40.960 you're helping others. That's that's the stuff that matters. And 1:48:41.040 --> 1:48:43.000 we all know this, and we all need to remind 1:48:43.040 --> 1:48:45.920 each other of this. Um. I've often said that, you know, 1:48:46.040 --> 1:48:49.120 kindness is your first obligation, or kindness is our first obligation, 1:48:49.920 --> 1:48:55.960 and in these particularly politically heated moments, I just find that, Look, 1:48:56.000 --> 1:48:57.840 we can all use the reminder. You know, we can 1:48:57.880 --> 1:48:59.640 all take a moment to sit back and say, you 1:48:59.720 --> 1:49:04.120 know what, Ah, let's think about some inspiring stories. You're 1:49:04.160 --> 1:49:07.479 like young Sam for example, who beat cancer, and how 1:49:07.560 --> 1:49:09.800 important it is to love the ones around us, and 1:49:09.880 --> 1:49:14.000 how my friends, everything is temporary. All of us are 1:49:14.080 --> 1:49:19.479 temporary here on earth, So excuse me for the digression there, 1:49:19.560 --> 1:49:24.360 but again, a really important story Ken, thank you for sharing. Jonathan. 1:49:24.600 --> 1:49:27.160 Next up here, Hey, Buck, you just made mention about 1:49:27.200 --> 1:49:31.880 transgender and dating apps, and it's very easy to ensure 1:49:32.000 --> 1:49:33.680 you're going to get what it is you're looking for 1:49:34.439 --> 1:49:37.040 in your profile. All you have to do is state 1:49:37.560 --> 1:49:41.559 if you prefer male or female organs. Then it doesn't 1:49:41.640 --> 1:49:44.280 matter what they call themselves. You'll still end up getting 1:49:44.320 --> 1:49:47.400 what it is you're looking for. Hey, and they if 1:49:47.439 --> 1:49:49.040 they don't fit the profile, you won't have to worry 1:49:49.040 --> 1:49:51.600 about being called a bigot because you clearly stated you 1:49:51.680 --> 1:49:54.679 prefer just my two cents. Hope those two texts will 1:49:54.720 --> 1:49:59.479 not fail me. Shields high. Uh, my friend Jonathan, you 1:49:59.520 --> 1:50:02.439 know Jonathan in It shouldn't have to be at that place, 1:50:02.479 --> 1:50:04.760 but I think it is getting to that place. And 1:50:04.880 --> 1:50:07.719 I'm telling you you can. You can start the countdown clock. 1:50:07.960 --> 1:50:11.280 You will start. You will see more articles. Now you've 1:50:11.280 --> 1:50:14.840 already had actors now can't play transgender actors. That's no 1:50:14.960 --> 1:50:18.120 longer allowed because of Scarlett Johansson. But you will see 1:50:18.160 --> 1:50:26.439 people who shame others because they will not state that 1:50:26.560 --> 1:50:28.679 they are or not are not okay with being attracted 1:50:28.680 --> 1:50:31.000 to someone who claims to be you know, so a 1:50:31.040 --> 1:50:33.599 heterosexual cannot say I only want to date women who 1:50:33.600 --> 1:50:36.800 are actually biologically women. That's going to be called bigger 1:50:36.800 --> 1:50:39.479 than closed minded. It's already it's gonna happen. It's already 1:50:39.479 --> 1:50:41.080 happened a little bit, but it will become a much 1:50:41.120 --> 1:50:43.760 more wide. Just like ten years ago, if you said, 1:50:44.600 --> 1:50:47.360 the left will be arguing that thirteen year olds can 1:50:47.479 --> 1:50:50.840 use you know, the girl's locker room if they're a boy, 1:50:50.920 --> 1:50:52.600 if they think they're a girl. And they would have 1:50:52.640 --> 1:50:55.040 said that was crazy. Well that that's now official. It 1:50:55.200 --> 1:50:59.479 was official Obama administration policy. So I tend to have 1:50:59.479 --> 1:51:03.360 a pretty good track record on predicting this stuff. Just 1:51:03.520 --> 1:51:07.080 putting that out there. Jenna writes my top three favorite 1:51:07.080 --> 1:51:09.960 things about daily listening to Buck Sexton Show three. The 1:51:10.120 --> 1:51:12.880 enthusiastically say this is your favorite part of the day, Well, 1:51:13.040 --> 1:51:16.680 it's mine too. The podcast two. My two year old 1:51:16.760 --> 1:51:20.360 cheers Team Buck, Team Buck. That's awesome, Thank you very much, Jenna. 1:51:20.720 --> 1:51:23.080 Number one, Team Buck gives me a hope that there 1:51:23.160 --> 1:51:26.200 are other conservatives, most of all yourself, who can articulate truth, 1:51:26.800 --> 1:51:29.920 news and interesting facts. Thank you, and the montages are great. 1:51:30.000 --> 1:51:31.880 Keep them coming well. Thank you Jenni for the very 1:51:31.960 --> 1:51:35.200 kind message here on roll Call. Certainly brightened up my day. 1:51:35.520 --> 1:51:37.120 That's gonna be it for us here in the Hut 1:51:37.200 --> 1:51:40.479 for tonight. I will see or talk to you all tomorrow, 1:51:41.080 --> 1:51:45.160 same time as always, no matter what, She'll tie
