WEBVTT - End The War In Afghanistan 0:00:01.000 --> 0:00:16.200 You are entering the freedom hunt. Our democrats helping illegals 0:00:16.200 --> 0:00:20.200 exploit immigration loop poles. Also, you've got another federal judge 0:00:20.200 --> 0:00:24.560 who's decided to overrule the executive branch because they're legislating 0:00:24.560 --> 0:00:27.040 from the bench. We'll talk about that. And also ending 0:00:27.080 --> 0:00:30.680 the Afghanistan war is difficult. Should we be meeting with 0:00:30.720 --> 0:00:33.640 the Calivan? Has the President made the right call? Here? 0:00:33.840 --> 0:00:35.519 We've got that and much more coming up on The 0:00:35.520 --> 0:00:39.800 Buck Sexton Show. This is the Buck Sexton Show, where 0:00:39.800 --> 0:00:42.839 the mission or mission is to decode what really matters 0:00:43.040 --> 0:00:50.200 with actionable intelligence. Mag no mistake, American. You're a great American. Again, 0:00:50.280 --> 0:00:58.040 the Buck Sexton Show begins. He's a great guy. Now, 0:01:02.360 --> 0:01:04.800 welcome to the Buck Saxon Show. Everybody. I hope you 0:01:04.800 --> 0:01:07.400 had a great weekend. Thank you so much for being here. 0:01:07.560 --> 0:01:11.040 I want to start the show off with some good news, 0:01:11.040 --> 0:01:13.240 but of course we're talking about politics and what's going 0:01:13.280 --> 0:01:14.840 on in the country, so it's always going to be 0:01:14.880 --> 0:01:17.520 somewhat mixed. But we do have some good news to 0:01:17.600 --> 0:01:19.720 speak of and good news at the border. No less, 0:01:21.160 --> 0:01:24.520 it will be mixed with some not so good news. 0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:27.800 But let's start with what's good. The numbers are in 0:01:29.040 --> 0:01:35.960 and according to CBP Commissioner at Mark Morgan, immigration authorities 0:01:36.080 --> 0:01:41.640 apprehended sixty four thousand people at the southwest border in August. 0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:46.520 Now that's a drop for three months running, a huge 0:01:46.640 --> 0:01:51.960 drop from May, a sixty percent decrease from May when 0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:57.200 you had over one hundred and thirty thousand who are 0:01:57.240 --> 0:02:03.720 apprehended at our southern border. And this is the result 0:02:03.760 --> 0:02:07.880 of a few things. One is that it seems President 0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:13.920 Trump's threat to shut down trade at our southern border 0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:17.320 with Mexico and to do what he can to get 0:02:17.400 --> 0:02:23.200 some improved compliance from our Mexican counterparts, and trying to 0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:31.520 stop all these caravans, these discontinued infiltration through Mexico of predominantly, 0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:35.680 but not entirely, Central American legal aliens in the United States. 0:02:36.120 --> 0:02:40.240 The Mexican government has deployed soldiers to its border with 0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:44.520 Central American countries, and that may have had it seems 0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:47.880 to have had a real effect here. It seems to 0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:52.920 have mattered. There's another thing that the administration has done, 0:02:53.760 --> 0:03:00.320 and that is the remain in Mexico policy. I'm sorry 0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:03.120 it was tariffs, by the way, with the southern border 0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:05.240 that the President was really talking about putting tariffs. At 0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:06.600 one point he said he was going to shut it down, 0:03:06.639 --> 0:03:09.800 but then it moved on to tariffs. The remain in 0:03:09.840 --> 0:03:12.119 Mexico policy, Well, this is interesting. What is the remain 0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:17.280 in Mexico policy. It's really just the implementation of what 0:03:17.480 --> 0:03:24.160 is called a safe third Country agreement. Safe third country 0:03:24.160 --> 0:03:25.400 And by the way, this is all this is all 0:03:25.440 --> 0:03:26.800 gonna make a lot of sense. It I'll be very 0:03:26.840 --> 0:03:28.680 important in a second. There's a reason why I'm getting 0:03:28.680 --> 0:03:32.440 into this. Of course, the Democrats oppose this, showing us 0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:34.320 who they are, showing us that we've been right about 0:03:34.360 --> 0:03:40.360 them all along, etc. Etc. But a Safe Third Country 0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:45.480 Agreement means that while somebody is waiting for their asylum 0:03:45.560 --> 0:03:50.040 claim to be adjudicated, because we do, in fact have 0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:54.880 a a process for this. It's not just oh, I 0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:57.680 want asylum, so I get asylum. And this isn't This 0:03:57.720 --> 0:03:59.880 isn't shopping for milk in the grocery store. You don't 0:03:59.880 --> 0:04:03.720 just take it and leave. But while you're waiting for 0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:09.200 that to be adjudicated, you're supposed to be able to, 0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:12.480 or we're supposed to believe that you will show up 0:04:12.480 --> 0:04:17.440 for your hearings and then abide by whatever is decided 0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:20.279 by the system. Problem for the Central American migrants, which 0:04:20.279 --> 0:04:21.800 we have known from the beginning, which I have been 0:04:21.800 --> 0:04:28.159 telling you from the beginning, is that nine plus of 0:04:28.200 --> 0:04:35.200 them will not get asylum. So why were they all 0:04:35.200 --> 0:04:37.120 showing up at the southern border saying they want a symble? 0:04:37.160 --> 0:04:41.320 Because based on the Floras Settlement Agreement from nineteen ninety 0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:43.800 seven that says that you can't hold a minor more 0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:48.520 than twenty days. Unaccompanied miners who show up at the 0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:54.080 southern border get transferred into the Office of Refugee Resettlement 0:04:54.080 --> 0:04:58.520 actually under HHS, and they're given to adult relatives or 0:04:58.560 --> 0:05:01.400 an adult guardian of some kind, so they get into 0:05:01.400 --> 0:05:03.719 the country easily. But then adults that bring a minor 0:05:03.800 --> 0:05:08.360 a thumb, because again Floraz twenty days, you have to 0:05:08.360 --> 0:05:11.520 release them rapidly. That means they're obviously not going to 0:05:11.560 --> 0:05:12.960 get in front of a judge in that time, So 0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:16.960 they're let into the interior of the United States, never 0:05:17.000 --> 0:05:18.840 to be seen again in a court, or if they 0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:20.440 are seen in a court, never to be seen again. 0:05:20.440 --> 0:05:25.880 What it's time for them to get sent home after 0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:32.400 they've had their judicial process. Deportation comes after that judicial process, 0:05:32.400 --> 0:05:34.279 and guess what, they don't show up for that. And 0:05:34.320 --> 0:05:37.839 we don't have the political will in this country to 0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:39.800 enforce the laws in the books and say no, you're 0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:42.799 not really allowed to just stay in the country because 0:05:42.800 --> 0:05:45.040 you want to. So the Safe Third Country Agreement, or 0:05:45.120 --> 0:05:48.279 rather the Remainder in Mexico policy that we have tells 0:05:48.440 --> 0:05:51.200 people that show up at the border who cross illegally surrender, 0:05:51.279 --> 0:05:53.120 so they're not waiting at a port of entry. They're 0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:55.000 breaking the law. And then they surrender. They say they 0:05:55.000 --> 0:05:59.640 want asylum. The Trump administration says no, no, Now you 0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:04.599 have to wait in Mexico and when it's time for 0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:06.560 you to have your hearing, then you show up at 0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:10.960 the border, present yourself. And what a shock to nobody. 0:06:12.120 --> 0:06:15.360 All of a sudden, the numbers are dropping. Wait a second, 0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:19.920 I thought that people from Central America were fleeing murderous 0:06:19.960 --> 0:06:23.120 thugs and gangsters. I thought they were fleeing for their lives. 0:06:23.120 --> 0:06:27.040 I thought they needed asylum. This wasn't just a backdoorway 0:06:27.040 --> 0:06:31.080 to skip through the immigration process. Oh but you mean 0:06:31.240 --> 0:06:34.480 when you have to wait in Mexico for your hearing 0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:37.880 and therefore don't just get released to establish yourself and 0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:39.800 do whatever you want to do in the United States 0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:42.240 with a handshake agreement, you're going to show up for 0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:45.680 a hearing later. All of a sudden, a lot less 0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:49.200 people are showing up at the border. It's almost like 0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:52.200 all along this was about pretending that they were going 0:06:52.240 --> 0:06:55.159 to go through the asylum process when really they just 0:06:55.200 --> 0:06:59.880 wanted to get waved into the country, knowing that they 0:07:00.000 --> 0:07:02.479 would be no enforcement afterwards and that the Democrats would 0:07:02.480 --> 0:07:05.520 stop any enforcement efforts every step of the way. Oh 0:07:05.640 --> 0:07:07.200 but then, what have we seen? This is the This 0:07:07.240 --> 0:07:09.520 is where things get more mixed, that this is the 0:07:09.520 --> 0:07:12.240 good story down sixty four to sixty four thousand. I 0:07:12.600 --> 0:07:15.840 know that it's the summertime. You're going to expect fewer 0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:22.240 crossings than just because of the heat and the environmental 0:07:22.280 --> 0:07:27.640 factors that make a crossing more difficult, more dangerous. But 0:07:28.560 --> 0:07:33.000 keep in mind they're generally not these surrenders are not 0:07:33.040 --> 0:07:35.920 occurring in the remote areas of the border. They're showing 0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:38.280 up at well patrolled areas of the border that in 0:07:38.320 --> 0:07:42.720 places like the Tijuana San Diego separation, that fence line 0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:46.520 where you're going from one urban area to another, you 0:07:46.520 --> 0:07:47.800 just show up and say all right, I want to 0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:50.800 claim asylum. So I don't know how much the weather 0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:53.640 really is impacting those It's the people that are going 0:07:53.680 --> 0:07:58.320 out into the desert and trying to evade border patrol entirely. 0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:02.720 That's where you be. We're concerned, I think about the weather, 0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:07.480 but we should have what would be a win across 0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:12.640 the board here. Now you have a more orderly immigration 0:08:12.880 --> 0:08:17.640 process for asylum seekers from Central America. They still get 0:08:17.680 --> 0:08:20.080 their day in court, they still get their due process, 0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:24.200 but they don't just get to come into America and 0:08:24.240 --> 0:08:28.640 then we ask politely that they will show up when 0:08:28.680 --> 0:08:30.280 it's time for their hearing. They get to stay in 0:08:30.320 --> 0:08:36.600 Mexico until the hearing happens. And guess what Democrats hate this. 0:08:37.320 --> 0:08:41.360 In fact, there's a story in the Washington Examiner that 0:08:42.559 --> 0:08:47.959 makes a very explosive claim that there have been some 0:08:48.080 --> 0:08:55.880 members of a House staff House Oversight Committee staff looking 0:08:55.920 --> 0:08:59.439 at what's going on at our southern border and deciding 0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:05.920 that they would have some staffers who would interview and 0:09:06.080 --> 0:09:11.800 even try This is Congresswoman Escobar's team, I believe, as 0:09:11.880 --> 0:09:14.640 quote sought interviews with six thousand people who are returned 0:09:14.760 --> 0:09:18.600 last month. According to CBP, officials. The Union learned from 0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:21.440 intelligence unit within CBP that those doing the interviews are 0:09:21.480 --> 0:09:25.520 wearing recording devices. They went through and interviewed everybody, cherry 0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:27.839 picked them, brought them back, and now are using them 0:09:27.840 --> 0:09:31.719 as taglines. They're going over there and manufacturing a lot 0:09:31.760 --> 0:09:33.760 of these issues. This is all according to Customs in 0:09:33.760 --> 0:09:37.880 Border Patrol. This is a US congresswoman's office is going 0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:41.560 down there and trying to tell people how to get 0:09:41.559 --> 0:09:46.200 through the system. This was published in the Washington Examiner. Quote. 0:09:46.200 --> 0:09:49.679 By opposing a system that assists migrants and speeds wait times, 0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:53.440 these individuals are exposing a cause that looks more like 0:09:53.480 --> 0:09:57.640 a cover for their political motivations. Any efforts to subvert 0:09:57.679 --> 0:10:01.199 and obstruct federal law enforcement operations should receive a full 0:10:01.840 --> 0:10:07.880 federal review. The piece here is the Democratic congresswoman secretly 0:10:07.920 --> 0:10:13.040 sending staff into Mexico to coach asylum seekers. That's right, 0:10:13.440 --> 0:10:17.120 Democrat member of Congress has staffers going down to Mexico 0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:21.600 to tell people waiting for their day in court. Oh, 0:10:21.640 --> 0:10:24.480 here's how you can get there more quickly. Here's what 0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:28.520 you say. And now people are showing up and claiming 0:10:28.600 --> 0:10:32.320 to Customs and Border Patrol or Border patrol agents. Oh well, 0:10:32.360 --> 0:10:35.520 I shouldn't have to wait because I have a learning disability, 0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:37.760 or I shouldn't have to wait because I don't speak 0:10:37.800 --> 0:10:41.800 Spanish and I'm stuck in Mexico Spanish speaking country or whatever. 0:10:42.160 --> 0:10:45.760 They're trying to help them find loopholes. That's right. This 0:10:45.880 --> 0:10:52.839 is just encouraging fraud and lawlessness from Democrats because they 0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:56.560 never wanted the process to work better. They always knew 0:10:56.600 --> 0:11:00.360 what was going on here. They were completely lyne about 0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:03.040 this from the start. They said, Oh, we don't want 0:11:03.080 --> 0:11:07.040 illegal immigration, we just want a side least to have 0:11:07.080 --> 0:11:08.600 their day in court. Will Now they're getting their day 0:11:08.600 --> 0:11:11.560 inn court, but they just can't run the scam anymore. 0:11:12.880 --> 0:11:14.680 I've told you what the scam is. The scam is 0:11:14.720 --> 0:11:16.240 you say you're gonna show up in court, you don't. 0:11:16.240 --> 0:11:21.040 You're in America, You're good to go. So this clearly 0:11:21.080 --> 0:11:23.360 has had an effect. You have a huge drop in 0:11:23.400 --> 0:11:26.600 illegal crossings over the last few months. Some of it 0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:28.600 due to Mexican government efforts, I'm sure, but a lot 0:11:28.679 --> 0:11:30.160 more of it. It It is just less people showing up 0:11:30.160 --> 0:11:33.760 because guess what, the loophole is a lot smaller now, 0:11:33.840 --> 0:11:36.880 it's a lot harder to pull this off. What are 0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:41.520 democrats doing actively doing? Oh, that's right, subverting this, subverting 0:11:41.520 --> 0:11:44.360 the rule of law. And then they get an assist 0:11:45.440 --> 0:11:47.800 from a federal judge. I don't want to guess where 0:11:47.800 --> 0:11:51.280 this federal judge is. Where is he located. It's kind 0:11:51.280 --> 0:11:54.720 of remarkable, isn't How many times does the Trump administration 0:11:55.640 --> 0:12:01.360 take action, right, action, just action on immigration, only to 0:12:01.440 --> 0:12:04.440 have it overturned by some judge somewhere? Where do these 0:12:04.520 --> 0:12:08.360 judges tend to be from? Let's write a federal judge 0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:17.280 in California, what a surprise? Restored a nationwide injunction today 0:12:17.320 --> 0:12:21.240 that blocks the Trump administration from enforcing restrictions designed to 0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:25.000 curb asylum claims by Central Americans seeking entry into the US. 0:12:27.559 --> 0:12:30.440 So even when we win, folks, federal judge comes along, 0:12:30.480 --> 0:12:32.160 Even when the rule of law looks like it has 0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:36.439 some glimmers of life, glimmers of hope. All it takes 0:12:36.520 --> 0:12:40.719 is one Obama or Carter or Clinton appointee to come 0:12:40.720 --> 0:12:44.160 along and say, yeah, no, I'm in charge of federal 0:12:44.160 --> 0:12:47.960 immigration policy now, not you, not the federal government, not 0:12:48.120 --> 0:12:51.760 President Trump, not the White House, not the Executive branch. 0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:57.320 Just one lowly federal judge somewhere can decide that we 0:12:57.480 --> 0:13:00.760 can't secure our southern border. And this is where I 0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:04.320 say to you, one We've seen now without question, you 0:13:04.320 --> 0:13:09.720 have the hashtag judiciary, the hashtag resistance judiciary, rather working 0:13:10.000 --> 0:13:14.160 against the rule of law, which is, if there's anything 0:13:14.160 --> 0:13:18.240 that undermines our court system, it's the lawlessness of libs 0:13:18.320 --> 0:13:22.599 in these black robes sitting on judges benches right that 0:13:23.040 --> 0:13:25.400 undermines the rule of law. And now we see the 0:13:25.400 --> 0:13:28.800 truth of both what these so called asylum seekers and 0:13:28.840 --> 0:13:32.480 the Democrats knew all along, which was that this was 0:13:32.559 --> 0:13:37.520 never really about asylum, was always about using asylum as 0:13:37.520 --> 0:13:41.960 a pretext, as a scam to get into America illegally, 0:13:42.280 --> 0:13:45.640 to break faith and trust with the American people, and 0:13:45.720 --> 0:13:49.120 just do it. Because people want access to our markets, 0:13:49.120 --> 0:13:51.640 they want access to our welfare benefits, they want, you know, 0:13:51.720 --> 0:13:54.600 a better economy, and yes, they want to live in 0:13:54.600 --> 0:13:56.480 a country that actually has rule of law, unlike some 0:13:56.520 --> 0:13:59.160 of these Central American states we're talking about. But we're 0:13:59.200 --> 0:14:00.960 not going to have rule of law for very long 0:14:01.000 --> 0:14:04.760 if people can violate it with impunity systematically, hundreds of 0:14:04.840 --> 0:14:11.760 thousands of them, with a complicit Democrat party That is 0:14:11.800 --> 0:14:16.480 what we face right now, Make no mistake about it. 0:14:19.880 --> 0:14:24.200 I was an undercover CIA operative. My assignment was preventing 0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:28.120 rogue states and terraces from getting nuclear weapons. You name 0:14:28.160 --> 0:14:33.000 a hotspot, I lived it. Then Dictainey's chief of staff 0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:37.320 took revenge against my husband and leaked my identity. His 0:14:37.480 --> 0:14:43.160 name Scooter Livy. Guess who pardoned him last year. I 0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:47.200 come from Ukrainian Jewish immigrants. Dad was in the Air Force. 0:14:47.560 --> 0:14:51.560 My brother almost died in Vietnam. My service was cut 0:14:51.600 --> 0:14:56.240 short when my own government betrayed me. We left Washington 0:14:56.280 --> 0:14:59.000 to raise our kids in New Mexico, one of the 0:14:59.040 --> 0:15:02.840 best places on Now. I'm running for Congress because we're 0:15:02.920 --> 0:15:12.840 running backwards on national security, healthcare, and women's rights. We 0:15:12.880 --> 0:15:19.000 need to turn our country around. Yes, the CIA really 0:15:19.040 --> 0:15:22.120 does teach us how to drive like this. You've probably 0:15:22.200 --> 0:15:27.800 heard my name, and mister President, I've got a few 0:15:27.800 --> 0:15:30.240 school Okay. Yeah. We get the idea of Valerie Plaie 0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:34.480 running for Congress as a Democrat, of course, which we've 0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:37.040 known all along, is what she was. That was her 0:15:37.080 --> 0:15:41.160 campaign at her campaign launch. It's an utter absurdity, full 0:15:41.200 --> 0:15:47.680 of outright lies, silly exaggerations and make believe badassery. I 0:15:47.720 --> 0:15:50.520 had the same driving training that she did, folks, and 0:15:50.600 --> 0:15:52.920 let me tell you it's not nearly as impressive as 0:15:52.960 --> 0:15:56.920 she wants to pretend. It is that same a lot 0:15:56.960 --> 0:15:58.560 of training as she did. And I would never run 0:15:58.600 --> 0:16:01.120 around doing all this like whoa look at me? It 0:16:01.320 --> 0:16:10.120 shuts ridiculous, ridiculous. And yet here we are, she's inflating 0:16:10.120 --> 0:16:16.560 her resume, lying about Scooter libby lying about what happened there, 0:16:16.680 --> 0:16:21.880 which is that Armitage accidentally leaked her name to a 0:16:21.960 --> 0:16:25.320 journalist and felt horrible about it and told and told 0:16:25.360 --> 0:16:27.320 people about it right away. But the special counsel, though, 0:16:27.360 --> 0:16:30.280 that's right, Fitzgerald, Oh, Patrick Fitzgerald, Do you mean James 0:16:30.320 --> 0:16:34.640 Comey's lawyer and close friend that guy. Yeah, he knew 0:16:34.640 --> 0:16:36.920 who leaked the name, and guess what, he decided to 0:16:36.960 --> 0:16:41.479 have a special counsel investigation to just find somebody. Democrats 0:16:41.680 --> 0:16:45.880 understand this game. We never learn our lesson, folks. They 0:16:46.080 --> 0:16:48.800 used the special counsel or just trying to jam up 0:16:48.800 --> 0:16:53.120 anybody who's close to the Republicans in power with nonsense, 0:16:53.480 --> 0:16:58.840 trumped up charges Assi like Valerie plan there was I'm 0:16:58.880 --> 0:17:03.000 the what are the send of Ukrainian Jewish immigrants or something. Okay, 0:17:03.040 --> 0:17:06.920 so we're supposed to forget about the whole retweeting of 0:17:07.040 --> 0:17:14.200 the anti Semitic, nasty article that she shared, right clear, 0:17:14.600 --> 0:17:16.920 some clear anti semitism that was supposed to just get 0:17:17.440 --> 0:17:24.000 swept aside. Now, journalists are all very very much invested 0:17:24.040 --> 0:17:27.439 in this narrative, though, the Valerie play narrative, because they 0:17:28.240 --> 0:17:31.200 they ran this. This was the Russia collusion story of 0:17:31.240 --> 0:17:35.600 its day. My friends, this was Bush and Cheney are 0:17:35.680 --> 0:17:39.800 traitors who would out a CIA officer, as we know, 0:17:39.960 --> 0:17:43.320 not agent, we don't say agent, a CIA officer to 0:17:43.440 --> 0:17:46.600 get back at her because her husband was writing editorials 0:17:46.600 --> 0:17:49.720 the New York Times. I mean, the story was ridiculous. 0:17:50.760 --> 0:17:56.240 It was ridiculous. And now all this, oh, I learned 0:17:56.280 --> 0:17:58.359 how to do cool driving, and I'm a badass. I mean, 0:17:58.520 --> 0:18:01.639 give me a break, folks, I don't know. Some of 0:18:01.720 --> 0:18:04.520 you say, oh, you know, but she's an operative, Folks. 0:18:05.040 --> 0:18:07.159 The operatives sit around and drink a lot of coffee 0:18:07.160 --> 0:18:08.600 and read a lot of reports. I hate to be 0:18:08.600 --> 0:18:10.000 the one that actually tells you this, but this is 0:18:10.040 --> 0:18:12.840 the truth. All right. Here's a fun fact for you. 0:18:13.760 --> 0:18:15.960 Nine nine out of ten operatives that I met in 0:18:16.080 --> 0:18:18.480 my day, you would rather have had Buck at your 0:18:18.560 --> 0:18:22.359 side in a bar fight or a gunfight, trust me, okay, 0:18:22.560 --> 0:18:25.080 And that's not saying much about me. It's like a 0:18:25.200 --> 0:18:31.080 nerd society anyway. Valerie playing giant, fraud, nasty person and 0:18:31.640 --> 0:18:34.439 Democrat hero though, and the media loves her, or at 0:18:34.520 --> 0:18:37.320 least they did. We'll see if she can resurrect herself here. 0:18:38.119 --> 0:18:40.920 They're dead. They're dead, as far as I'm concerned. They're dead. 0:18:41.640 --> 0:18:43.720 They thought that they had to kill people in order 0:18:43.760 --> 0:18:47.360 to put themselves in a little better negotiating position. When 0:18:47.440 --> 0:18:50.240 they did that, they killed twelve people. One happened to 0:18:50.320 --> 0:18:53.800 be a great American soldier, a wonderful young man from 0:18:53.800 --> 0:18:57.520 Puerto Rico. Families from Puerto Rico. And you can't do that. 0:18:57.720 --> 0:18:59.639 They can't do that with me. So they're dead as 0:18:59.680 --> 0:19:03.840 far as I'm concerned. And we've hit the Taliban harder 0:19:03.920 --> 0:19:06.040 in the last four days, and they've been hidden over 0:19:06.160 --> 0:19:10.960 ten years. So that's the way it is. President Trump 0:19:11.200 --> 0:19:17.080 has shut down the plant talks with the Taliban in 0:19:18.119 --> 0:19:20.760 at Camp David. You're gonna be the Taliban leadership at 0:19:20.800 --> 0:19:23.159 Camp David. This was gonna be done in secret, but 0:19:23.800 --> 0:19:26.720 came out of the week and the President said no more, 0:19:26.880 --> 0:19:30.800 not gonna happen. After there was a large terror attack 0:19:30.920 --> 0:19:36.760 by the Taliban, and I think that was the right move. Now, 0:19:36.800 --> 0:19:38.440 I'm just gonna say this to you because I always 0:19:38.480 --> 0:19:40.600 tell you what I really think. I think it was 0:19:40.640 --> 0:19:44.120 a mistake. I think it was a mistake for President 0:19:44.200 --> 0:19:48.680 Trump to have ever invited the Taliban to Camp David. Yeah, 0:19:48.760 --> 0:19:51.359 I know, people say, what about aarra Fat bucket. Okay, 0:19:53.480 --> 0:19:55.760 it's a different situation at a different time. Just because 0:19:55.840 --> 0:19:57.600 that was done then doesn't mean this should be done now. 0:19:57.640 --> 0:19:59.680 And by the way, I'd be open to maybe Aara 0:19:59.720 --> 0:20:02.520 Fat wouldn't be invited to Camp David didn't work, by 0:20:02.600 --> 0:20:08.600 the way, But here we have a situation where our 0:20:08.800 --> 0:20:11.640 enemy in active hostilities is being invited to a place 0:20:11.720 --> 0:20:17.000 that I think is generally reserved for more civilized discussions 0:20:17.800 --> 0:20:23.400 with a more civilized enemy. The Talent Band is a disgrace. 0:20:24.440 --> 0:20:29.000 It is a terrorist organization. We I don't have to 0:20:29.080 --> 0:20:32.280 go through all the things that it does that offend 0:20:32.320 --> 0:20:35.880 the conscience of any decent human being. They kill women 0:20:35.920 --> 0:20:41.400 and children on purpose, they mutilate, they torture, they engage 0:20:41.480 --> 0:20:46.720 in the worst kinds of battlefield atrocities, and now we're 0:20:46.720 --> 0:20:48.960 supposed to think that President Trump should invite them to 0:20:49.200 --> 0:20:53.360 Camp David. Look, I think that Trump on the main 0:20:53.600 --> 0:20:59.119 issue here is correct, which is end this war. And 0:20:59.440 --> 0:21:03.240 this war it's just we need to stop. I don't 0:21:03.320 --> 0:21:05.360 know what it's going to take to get some it's 0:21:05.520 --> 0:21:07.960 fellow conservatives in many cases that disagree with me on this, 0:21:08.119 --> 0:21:12.440 but no more. And people will say that let me 0:21:12.520 --> 0:21:17.200 work through a few of the objections here. They say, well, Buck, 0:21:17.280 --> 0:21:21.080 if we if we don't leave a presence there, then 0:21:21.160 --> 0:21:24.600 it will be used again as a platform for mass 0:21:24.640 --> 0:21:27.359 casualty attacks. I can tell you this. If the Taliban 0:21:27.600 --> 0:21:30.119 decides that they're season territory and then they're going to 0:21:30.280 --> 0:21:36.919 use that as training camp areas and areas for plotting 0:21:37.040 --> 0:21:42.000 and all that for al Qaeda, then I think that 0:21:42.000 --> 0:21:43.879 they should understand that the first time it doesn't have 0:21:43.920 --> 0:21:45.440 to be on a nine to eleven scale either. The 0:21:45.520 --> 0:21:48.760 first time there's an attack planned off of Afghan soil. 0:21:48.800 --> 0:21:52.240 I mean, we're going in and they're just going to 0:21:52.320 --> 0:21:54.720 be a carpet bombing campaign. We're just gonna lay waste 0:21:54.760 --> 0:21:57.200 to places. And I know right now that might sound 0:21:57.200 --> 0:21:59.200 a little bit oh my gosh, buck, but what about 0:21:59.240 --> 0:22:05.000 the we're done with this. We're done with this. You know, 0:22:05.119 --> 0:22:06.720 at some point when you're gonna have to fight wars 0:22:06.720 --> 0:22:09.720 the way wars used to be fault, which is break 0:22:09.800 --> 0:22:13.600 the other side until they submit. That's what you gotta do. 0:22:14.480 --> 0:22:16.760 We fight wars very differently now because we are a 0:22:16.840 --> 0:22:22.600 just and honorable and kind society. But if the Taliban 0:22:22.800 --> 0:22:25.560 plots another or allows I should say, and it's complicit 0:22:25.680 --> 0:22:30.480 in another mass casualty terror attack against Americans against our interests, 0:22:30.720 --> 0:22:33.520 working with al Qaeda, ay, any external terrorist plotting like 0:22:33.640 --> 0:22:38.680 that that gets after us or our people, the plan 0:22:38.800 --> 0:22:42.720 should be to lay absolute waste to whatever they're at 0:22:42.800 --> 0:22:44.560 control of. I mean, it would be what we did before, 0:22:44.600 --> 0:22:48.240 except this time around there would be very little mercy. 0:22:49.760 --> 0:22:52.560 So we can just tell them. We make this very clear, 0:22:53.400 --> 0:22:55.880 you guys, they learned the hard way the first time. 0:22:56.480 --> 0:22:58.440 It's worth noting they were not expecting us to do 0:22:58.560 --> 0:23:01.000 what we did after nine to eleven. They did not 0:23:01.080 --> 0:23:04.040 think that we would have special forces on the ground 0:23:04.160 --> 0:23:08.080 in a matter of weeks, and that we would with 0:23:08.240 --> 0:23:11.000 our air power, just turn the tide of war against them, 0:23:11.080 --> 0:23:13.760 and that was not the expectation, and I think that 0:23:13.840 --> 0:23:17.240 that did rattle them. But this time around it wouldn't 0:23:17.280 --> 0:23:19.600 just be that. So that's one part of this. Now 0:23:19.760 --> 0:23:21.880 that's not a perfect solution, but I think that that's real. 0:23:24.359 --> 0:23:26.680 Keep in mind that there are also plenty of places, 0:23:26.880 --> 0:23:30.040 unfortunately far too many places around the world where gee 0:23:30.040 --> 0:23:36.000 hottests already have the ability to plot, train equip There 0:23:36.080 --> 0:23:42.120 are safe haven areas certainly in Yemen, in Sinai Peninsula, 0:23:42.520 --> 0:23:48.199 in Syria, in Iraq, in well in Iroq, not as much, 0:23:48.240 --> 0:23:54.920 but certainly in Syria. And there are places, you know, Nigeria, Somalia, 0:23:55.160 --> 0:23:58.840 places where there's external plotting going on on the global 0:23:58.880 --> 0:24:05.080 ge hottest attacks being planned. So we're not invading every place, 0:24:05.720 --> 0:24:10.520 you know. We have this sense that Afghanistan is the 0:24:10.760 --> 0:24:13.240 place where all the terrorists want to plan the attacks, 0:24:13.280 --> 0:24:15.199 but they can plant attacks from inside Pakistan. They can 0:24:15.240 --> 0:24:20.560 plant attacks from inside a basement in New Jersey. They've 0:24:20.600 --> 0:24:24.680 done that. So keep that in mind as well. That 0:24:24.840 --> 0:24:29.639 the set mission, the counter terrorism mission, was accomplished a 0:24:29.840 --> 0:24:33.760 long time ago in Afghanistan. We are not really there 0:24:34.000 --> 0:24:37.040 primarily now in a counter terrorism function. We are there 0:24:37.640 --> 0:24:43.240 rebuilding a country that is from a civil society, infrastructure 0:24:43.280 --> 0:24:49.359 and just developmental perspective, about a hundred years behind the 0:24:49.480 --> 0:24:55.800 First World at Afghanistan from an infrastructure and development perspective 0:24:55.920 --> 0:24:58.800 is probably somewhere in the nineteen twenties or nineteen thirties. 0:24:59.680 --> 0:25:02.200 And some of you might say that's being kind, but 0:25:02.720 --> 0:25:07.360 that's the truth. We're going to rebuild this country, rebuild 0:25:07.400 --> 0:25:11.480 it into what and then we get into, okay, well, 0:25:11.560 --> 0:25:15.200 what's acceptable when it comes to negotiation with the Taliban. 0:25:16.400 --> 0:25:20.440 This is really this is really where this gets uncomfortable, folks. 0:25:20.680 --> 0:25:22.800 The truth is, we don't have to negotiate anything with 0:25:22.840 --> 0:25:27.159 the Taliban. We could just leave. All we're doing is 0:25:27.240 --> 0:25:34.280 trying to get assurances and put in place measures trip wires, 0:25:34.320 --> 0:25:38.280 if you will, for our diplomacy, to make them think 0:25:38.359 --> 0:25:41.639 twice before doing what I am almost certain they are 0:25:41.680 --> 0:25:44.280 going to do, which is, as soon as they think 0:25:44.320 --> 0:25:46.679 that they have a clear path, try to take over 0:25:46.720 --> 0:25:48.520 the rest of the country. Again, I won't be easy. 0:25:49.440 --> 0:25:53.320 There are still the remnants of the old Northern Alliance 0:25:53.480 --> 0:25:59.440 and then the non Pashtun northern reaches of Afghanistan would 0:25:59.440 --> 0:26:01.800 still resist that. And you know, there's there is an 0:26:01.840 --> 0:26:04.240 Afghan National Army, there is an Afghan National Police that 0:26:04.320 --> 0:26:07.480 have received a lot of training, and how much better 0:26:07.520 --> 0:26:10.520
