WEBVTT - Covington Students Did NOTHING Wrong 0:00:01.040 --> 0:00:16.400 You are entering the freedom hunt. Is Trump out maneuvering 0:00:16.520 --> 0:00:20.400 Nancy Pelosi in the midst of this shutdown? Or are 0:00:20.480 --> 0:00:24.880 the impending problems in airports and elsewhere going to force 0:00:24.960 --> 0:00:28.520 the Republicans to finally reopen the government. We'll talk about that, 0:00:28.560 --> 0:00:32.360 plus the crisis in Venezuela. What should the US do? 0:00:32.800 --> 0:00:34.600 What do we think of what we've done so far? 0:00:34.720 --> 0:00:36.800 I'll break all that down for you and more coming 0:00:36.880 --> 0:00:39.880 up on The Buck Sexton Show. This is the Buck 0:00:39.960 --> 0:00:43.239 Sexton Show, where the mission or mission is to decode 0:00:43.280 --> 0:00:49.479 what really matters with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake American. 0:00:49.600 --> 0:00:58.720 Let you're a great American again. The Buck Sexton Show begins. No, 0:01:01.760 --> 0:01:04.399 we have to have border security. We have to have 0:01:04.600 --> 0:01:06.800 a wall. In order to have border security. You cannot 0:01:06.840 --> 0:01:09.360 have border security without a wall. I mean, we can 0:01:09.400 --> 0:01:11.640 play games and we can talk about technology, we can 0:01:11.720 --> 0:01:16.680 talk about drones flying around. You know, right now formed 0:01:17.200 --> 0:01:21.959 is an eight thousand person caravan and the caravan is 0:01:21.959 --> 0:01:24.679 heading our way. Congratulations, we have another one. We stopped 0:01:24.680 --> 0:01:26.959 the first one, we stopped the second one. We didn't 0:01:26.959 --> 0:01:28.520 have a wall in those areas. It would have been 0:01:28.600 --> 0:01:31.080 very hard to stop them. We have the military, and 0:01:31.160 --> 0:01:33.360 we have the border patrol. They've done an incredible job, 0:01:33.360 --> 0:01:36.399 and Ice has done an incredible job all over the country. Frankly, 0:01:37.720 --> 0:01:40.920 welcome the Buck Sexton show. President Trump's dead. It's strong 0:01:40.959 --> 0:01:45.560 on this one, not backing down, not giving up. And 0:01:45.800 --> 0:01:52.280 it looks like some people, at least on the Democrat side, 0:01:52.320 --> 0:01:55.040 are a little bit concerned about where all of this 0:01:55.280 --> 0:01:58.280 is going a little bit worried that there's at least 0:01:58.320 --> 0:02:03.320 a possibility that maybe Nancy Pelosi getting into this spitting match, 0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:09.320 shall we say, with Trump was not so wise after all. 0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:13.399 Maybe it's in fact the case that Nancy Pelosi has 0:02:13.760 --> 0:02:16.519 has overplayed her hand a little bit here, acting in 0:02:16.639 --> 0:02:21.760 a clearly imperious fashion toward the president, which, whatever you 0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:24.000 think of Trump's tactics up to this point, I think 0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:27.639 Pelosi has acquitted herself very poorly in all of this. 0:02:28.600 --> 0:02:30.880 And I really, I have to say, I've really enjoyed 0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:36.960 some of Trump's barbs directed at Democrats like Pelosi, but 0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:39.119 there are some who are saying, hold on a second, there, 0:02:39.560 --> 0:02:42.520 there could be a problem here. There could in fact 0:02:42.560 --> 0:02:46.079 be an issue. This was from Maggie Haberman last night 0:02:46.240 --> 0:02:48.520 on Twitter. She wrote that the white House believes Pelosi 0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:52.360 has aired in getting into a tactical fight with Trump 0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:55.359 that involves testing who can kick more dirt. I think 0:02:55.360 --> 0:02:57.080 that there's truth to that, you know. I think that 0:02:57.120 --> 0:03:01.600 the Democrats are used to republic aikins, who the moment 0:03:01.800 --> 0:03:03.640 you start to get a little nastier, they go, oh, no, 0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:05.600 don't hit me, you know, don't don't be so rough, 0:03:05.639 --> 0:03:08.799 and they kind of run away. Trump doesn't do that. 0:03:09.880 --> 0:03:13.000 He leans in, He says, give me your best shot. 0:03:13.120 --> 0:03:18.560 And I think I think that if nothing else, the 0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:21.680 debate over the fence, let's just start. Let's just start 0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:23.560 saying the fence so that they don't they don't have this, 0:03:24.880 --> 0:03:27.600 you know, this talking pot anymore about oh he said 0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:32.440 a wool will fine the fence. I'm hearing people now 0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:35.240 who are saying, okay, okay, fine, fine, we all know 0:03:35.320 --> 0:03:37.480 that offence is is gonna work. That was kind of 0:03:37.480 --> 0:03:38.960 what we'll give up. We'll give that up. That was 0:03:39.040 --> 0:03:40.800 kind of a dumb thing that we were saying, offense 0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:43.000 is gonna work. But let's just reopen the government then 0:03:43.000 --> 0:03:45.880 we'll get the fence built. WHOA a whole lot of second. 0:03:47.040 --> 0:03:51.080 We've heard for over two years now, that the notion 0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:55.960 of a fence at our southern border. Democrats, demagogues on TV, 0:03:56.640 --> 0:03:59.480 left wing pundits and anchors and journos and all the rest, 0:03:59.760 --> 0:04:02.760 they have been saying that offense at our southern border 0:04:03.400 --> 0:04:10.920 is foolish, racist, immoral, all that stuff. Now, if you 0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:13.040 pay a little closer attention, you'll hear people say, well, 0:04:13.440 --> 0:04:16.520 you know, maybe there'll be some funding for a wall 0:04:16.720 --> 0:04:18.960 for offense. You know, later on we'll do a little 0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:21.680 more offensing. Yeah, yeah, fine, maybe our walls don't work. 0:04:21.680 --> 0:04:23.919 Talking point isn't quite as brilliant as we thought it was, 0:04:24.040 --> 0:04:29.919 But this is remarkable. Until about five minutes ago, it 0:04:29.960 --> 0:04:32.040 feels like all you gotta do is go on CNN 0:04:32.080 --> 0:04:34.960 and be like, walls don't work, and everybody goes, oh 0:04:35.040 --> 0:04:39.039 my gosh, you're right, gosh, walls don't work and water 0:04:39.200 --> 0:04:43.640 isn't wet. These are really intelligent things to say. But 0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:47.960 sure enough, as we look into this a little more, 0:04:48.000 --> 0:04:51.200 we find that Trump has made in roads in this 0:04:51.320 --> 0:04:55.360 national discussion in a way that I think should at 0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:57.760 least we should give him credit for it. At least 0:04:57.760 --> 0:04:59.400 now I can say it. I'll play you some We 0:04:59.480 --> 0:05:01.479 have some audio of a never Trumper that was arguing 0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:04.119 the boarder with me earlier. Today, it's making the rounds 0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:05.880 on social media. You'll want to hear some of it. 0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:10.960 But you know, as as I see here and think 0:05:11.000 --> 0:05:13.360 about the discussions about the boarder that have happened in 0:05:13.400 --> 0:05:16.520 the past in public, you can no longer get away 0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:19.840 with just saying that the offense is stupid. Offense doesn't work. 0:05:20.160 --> 0:05:21.880 You know, if you show me a ten foot wall, 0:05:21.920 --> 0:05:25.720 I'll show you an eleven foot ladder that you've been 0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:28.160 hearing for how long? Things like that, and people who 0:05:28.240 --> 0:05:31.400 say it think that they're smart for saying it. They 0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:33.360 think that this is a really wise that they've come 0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:35.960 up with some witty retort they've got, They've got Trump 0:05:36.000 --> 0:05:41.440 cornered on this whole wall thing, and it's just it's idiocy. 0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:48.480 It's so very very dumb. I wonder if Senator Lindsey 0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:51.320 Graham is correct on this woman. He says that he 0:05:51.440 --> 0:05:56.360 thinks that Nancy Pelosi is not only misunderstanding her position 0:05:56.480 --> 0:05:58.520 visa VI Trump in this debate, but could be a 0:05:58.560 --> 0:06:01.320 problem in the longer term for the Democrats on this 0:06:01.400 --> 0:06:04.640 play fifteen, Please, Nancy Pelosi has become a nightmare for 0:06:04.640 --> 0:06:08.120 the Democratic Party. She seems unreasonable. She seems to have 0:06:08.160 --> 0:06:11.080 a dislike for the president that is hurting the country. 0:06:11.720 --> 0:06:14.520 And this idea of not letting the president speak is 0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:21.880 really overplaying your hands, it is. You know, she does 0:06:21.920 --> 0:06:30.080 not look like a seasoned and well adjusted statesman or 0:06:30.080 --> 0:06:34.200 states person on this one. She comes across as somebody 0:06:34.240 --> 0:06:36.880 who is taking a lot of this all very personally 0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:41.200 and is trying to find any way she can just 0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:44.800 stick a thumb in the President's eye. And people are 0:06:44.839 --> 0:06:46.600 looking at the issue and saying, well, hold on a second, 0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:48.000 why is it so hard for you guys to give 0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:51.040 some money for fencing at our southern border? Why is 0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:53.760 that so unthinkable? Think of all the stuff that all 0:06:53.800 --> 0:06:56.880 the money that you know is wasted by the government 0:06:56.880 --> 0:07:00.760 on a regular basis on nonsense stuff. This is important, 0:07:00.800 --> 0:07:02.880 and yet they can't find the money for this. Democrats, 0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:04.719 for the first you know, the only things that Democrats 0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:08.440 don't want to fond apparently are the military beyond a 0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:13.600 you know, minimal amounts and defense, or rather, I could 0:07:13.600 --> 0:07:16.160 put in you this way, the only expenses the Democrats 0:07:16.160 --> 0:07:19.640 really seem to complain about are the military and the fence. 0:07:20.080 --> 0:07:21.920 I don't know what else. They complain about everything else 0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:25.160 they want. The government is spending the taxpayers money. But 0:07:25.240 --> 0:07:27.480 I do think that the problem that looms here for 0:07:27.520 --> 0:07:30.200 the Republicans and for Trump is that the situation at 0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:33.640 the airports is about to get bad. TSA and all 0:07:33.640 --> 0:07:36.240 this stuff, you know, and man that the journal journalists, 0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:39.200 I can tell you, they are just waiting in the 0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:43.680 wings to swoop in on this whole situation. And they 0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:46.640 really look journalists have gotten their teeth kicked in the 0:07:46.760 --> 0:07:49.680 last week. They really have. Although you see that producer Mike, 0:07:49.760 --> 0:07:53.240 you see that that Acosta has has a book coming out. 0:07:53.320 --> 0:07:55.840 Jim Acosta has got a book coming out. It's called like, uh, 0:07:56.280 --> 0:07:58.360 you know, speaking Truth in the Era of Trump or 0:07:58.400 --> 0:08:01.120 some nonsense. I can't I believe he's not calling a 0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:06.400 dear diary. I just think that that's a miss. Anyway. 0:08:06.640 --> 0:08:09.280 This is one of the great myths of our of 0:08:09.320 --> 0:08:13.920 our time, is that journalists in this country are in danger. 0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:17.640 Oh no, they're journalists. Oh it's such a dangerous job. 0:08:18.040 --> 0:08:21.080 I think I told some of you that the Committee 0:08:21.080 --> 0:08:22.960 to Protect Journalists reached out to make I wrote an 0:08:23.000 --> 0:08:25.480 editorial about how not dangerous. I'm not saying there are 0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:28.400 aren't countries where it is dangerous. There are America is 0:08:28.440 --> 0:08:31.520 not one of them. You basically have two shootings of 0:08:31.600 --> 0:08:35.640 journalists in the last thirty years, and you know about 0:08:35.679 --> 0:08:38.320 both of them. One was at the paper in your Baltimore. 0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:41.680 The other was the live stream shooting that you know. 0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:45.160 These are just two disturbed individuals. Yeah. You There have 0:08:45.200 --> 0:08:48.600 also been shootings in the postal buy postal workers against 0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:51.320 their colleagues and by any number of different Yeah, they're 0:08:51.360 --> 0:08:54.200 bad people out there. Journalists are not in jeoparding this country. 0:08:54.400 --> 0:08:56.480 No one is stopping them from doing their job. No 0:08:56.520 --> 0:08:58.280 one is stopping them from saying whether they want to 0:08:58.320 --> 0:09:01.520 say when this is a fantasy. They might as well 0:09:01.559 --> 0:09:05.360 be submitting fan fiction written about themselves. Oh wait, that's 0:09:05.400 --> 0:09:09.160 what Jim Acosta is doing. Man, that guy. You know 0:09:09.160 --> 0:09:12.760 what's funny is that I know enough about him from 0:09:12.760 --> 0:09:15.160 people that work with him too. It's not like he 0:09:15.200 --> 0:09:17.360 thinks this is some great calm that he's running and 0:09:17.400 --> 0:09:19.439 he's just lining his pockets. I could kind of have 0:09:19.480 --> 0:09:22.040 a little bit of yeah, you know, I get it, 0:09:22.520 --> 0:09:24.839 it's got bills to pay. No, I think he really 0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:27.600 believes that he's a First Amendment martyr and that it's 0:09:27.679 --> 0:09:30.080 necessary for the health of our republic that we all 0:09:30.120 --> 0:09:32.600 hear from Jim Acosta. But how he speaks truth to power. 0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:35.120 I have the book for you, by the way, what 0:09:35.280 --> 0:09:37.679 is the name of the book? It's awesome. The Enemy 0:09:37.760 --> 0:09:40.520 of the People. A dangerous time to tell the truth 0:09:40.559 --> 0:09:45.080 in America. Oh my god, Yeah, I can't believe. A 0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:47.920 dangerous time to tell the truth in America. A dangerous 0:09:47.960 --> 0:09:52.959 how Acosta dangerous? How he's more famous and richer and 0:09:53.120 --> 0:09:56.959 more more beloved by the CNN LIB audience than he's 0:09:57.000 --> 0:10:00.719 ever been. So you know what does he even Oh 0:10:00.800 --> 0:10:03.520 my gosh, He's the gift that keeps on giving. He's 0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:07.320 incredible in that way. But there is a speaking of 0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:14.199 CNN nice transition here. There is a CNN exclusive story 0:10:14.360 --> 0:10:17.400 just came out right as we went on air. So 0:10:17.520 --> 0:10:21.679 you're getting this hot off the presses or whatever, or 0:10:21.679 --> 0:10:25.600 off the digital stuff on the screen. The White House 0:10:25.679 --> 0:10:29.280 is preparing a draft proclamation for President Donald Trump to 0:10:29.400 --> 0:10:34.000 declare a national emergency along the southern border, and has 0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:37.520 identified more than seven billion dollars in potential funds for 0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:41.160 his signature border wall should he go that route. According 0:10:41.200 --> 0:10:45.920 to internal documents reviewed by CNN. Hopefully CNN's actually seeing 0:10:45.960 --> 0:10:48.200 the documents or else this is going to look pretty bad. 0:10:48.920 --> 0:10:51.120 Trump is not ruled out using his authority to declare 0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:54.120 a national emergency and direct the Defense Department to construct 0:10:54.120 --> 0:10:56.839 a border wall. As Congress and the White House fight 0:10:56.960 --> 0:10:59.720 over a deal to end the government shutdown. While Trump's 0:10:59.720 --> 0:11:01.680 advice just remain divided on the issue, the White House 0:11:01.760 --> 0:11:06.160 has been moving forward with alternative plans that would buy 0:11:06.240 --> 0:11:10.800 pass Congress. I think this is the right move. There's 0:11:10.800 --> 0:11:13.080 a Congressional statute that says that he's allowed to do this. 0:11:14.760 --> 0:11:17.439 It's you know, see, here's the problem that I know 0:11:17.440 --> 0:11:19.120 we run into. People say, Buck, what about the next 0:11:19.120 --> 0:11:21.920 president who comes along, who's a Democrat I wants to 0:11:21.960 --> 0:11:24.200 declare a state of emergency. Do you do any of 0:11:24.200 --> 0:11:26.839 you think that the next president who can't get his 0:11:27.000 --> 0:11:29.000 or her way, who's a left wing Democrat, which just 0:11:29.000 --> 0:11:32.760 means a Democrat, is going to shy away from declaring 0:11:32.760 --> 0:11:34.880 a state of emergency if he or she feels it 0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:39.520 useful to them because Trump didn't do it. Do you 0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:44.680 think this will stop them from using this authority? Obama 0:11:45.040 --> 0:11:47.560 said how many times I don't have the authority to 0:11:47.600 --> 0:11:50.640 go alone publicly in front of the whole country. I 0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:52.880 don't have the authority to go alone on DOCCA. I 0:11:52.920 --> 0:11:56.560 need Congress to do something. Congress was like, nope, what 0:11:56.600 --> 0:11:58.920 did Obama do? Did he did he sit around and 0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:00.760 mope and say, oh, I don't I don't have the 0:12:00.760 --> 0:12:02.760 power on the authority to this. No, we all know it. 0:12:02.760 --> 0:12:05.240 Obama did. He said, Okay, I'm just gonna do what 0:12:05.280 --> 0:12:07.240 I want. Guess what now, I say, I have the 0:12:07.280 --> 0:12:10.880 authority DOCCA. It happens not only that, but then when 0:12:10.920 --> 0:12:13.240 Trump comes along, it says, well, if Obama had the 0:12:13.320 --> 0:12:17.280 authority to enact DOCCA, I as president must have the 0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:23.280 authority to unenact DOCCA. And a court says no, A 0:12:23.400 --> 0:12:28.160 court says no, it's you know, heads Dems win, tails, 0:12:28.960 --> 0:12:32.959 we lose. That's not a good that's not a good 0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:36.440 look for the judiciary, for the presidency, for anything. But 0:12:36.480 --> 0:12:38.520 that's where we are. So that's why that argument. Although 0:12:38.559 --> 0:12:40.720 I'm aware of it, and it's a it's a real point, 0:12:40.760 --> 0:12:43.640 I'm not discounting it. I don't find it as persuasive 0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:47.360 as some of my conservative peers because I know Democrats 0:12:47.480 --> 0:12:50.440 they have a lust for power, and they love to 0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:53.880 wield power and rub the faces of conservatives and of 0:12:53.960 --> 0:12:56.840 Republicans in it when they do so, and do a 0:12:56.840 --> 0:13:00.480 lot of in your face. So you think by Trump 0:13:00.520 --> 0:13:02.520 walking away from a state of emergency, they won't try 0:13:02.559 --> 0:13:04.880 that with and keep in mind, yeah, and then that 0:13:04.960 --> 0:13:08.520 president will probably have it go through the courts. You know, 0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:10.520 if a Democrat comes along, it's this, there's a climate 0:13:10.559 --> 0:13:12.959 change or our Second Amendment emergency, and I'm gonna seize 0:13:13.000 --> 0:13:16.160 all your Yeah, you know, you know what stops Democrats 0:13:16.160 --> 0:13:18.880 from saying they're gonna seize all our guns though they 0:13:18.920 --> 0:13:21.679 know that they can't. Ultimately they know they can't. They 0:13:21.760 --> 0:13:24.480 like to talk about it sometimes maybe a little amongst themselves, 0:13:24.559 --> 0:13:27.200 but it's not gonna happen, and they know that. So 0:13:27.240 --> 0:13:30.079 a state of emergency may may be declared here pretty soon, 0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:32.600 my guests would be Monday at this point, based on 0:13:32.679 --> 0:13:34.680 what we're seeing here in the reporting. Because they're gonna 0:13:34.720 --> 0:13:38.000 miss another pay cycle tomorrow. You're gonna hear a lot 0:13:38.040 --> 0:13:40.320 more stories about federal employees who can't pay the bills, 0:13:40.360 --> 0:13:43.480 can't you know, can't handle the mortgage or deal with 0:13:43.520 --> 0:13:46.079 any of the stuff that's come up. Now, and I'm 0:13:46.120 --> 0:13:47.600 not being dismissive of that. I know that that's a 0:13:47.600 --> 0:13:51.040 financial hardship and that's real. And then the Republicans are 0:13:51.040 --> 0:13:52.960 gonna say okay, or at least Trump is gonna say, 0:13:53.000 --> 0:13:55.720 all right, I'm gonna go for it. And then what's 0:13:55.720 --> 0:13:58.839 interesting is that the only coequal branch with the presidency 0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:03.320 is the Supreme Courts. So what happens if the president says, 0:14:03.760 --> 0:14:05.960 I'm the commander in chief, there's a security emergency, We're 0:14:05.960 --> 0:14:07.720 building this wall, and a federal judge says no, and 0:14:07.720 --> 0:14:11.480 the president says, um, how are you allowed to stop 0:14:11.520 --> 0:14:15.720 me on this? I'm just putting it out there. I'm 0:14:15.840 --> 0:14:20.520 just putting it out there. Does a federal judge I 0:14:20.520 --> 0:14:22.800 think they're gonna they're gonna do what. They're gonna issue 0:14:22.920 --> 0:14:26.520 a an arrest warrant for contempt against the President of 0:14:26.560 --> 0:14:29.040 the United States because he's ordering the military to build 0:14:29.080 --> 0:14:34.480 a fence somewhere, you know, And maybe we should call 0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:36.320 their bluff on this a little bit, you know what, Yeah, 0:14:36.320 --> 0:14:38.280 it's gonna go into the court's fine. How does it? 0:14:38.560 --> 0:14:41.120 How does Trump lose in the courts on this issue? 0:14:42.520 --> 0:14:44.480 He says, as an emergency, there's a statute that says 0:14:44.480 --> 0:14:46.920 the president may declaring an emergency. He would have border 0:14:46.960 --> 0:14:50.040 patrol and Immigrations and Customs enforcement to back him up 0:14:50.080 --> 0:14:54.880 on this that there is an emergency. So what exactly 0:14:55.000 --> 0:14:57.520 is going to be the rationale? Oh, because Congress hasn't 0:14:57.520 --> 0:15:00.560 appropriate of these funds. Well, that's why there's the statute 0:15:00.560 --> 0:15:04.480 that says that he can declare state of emergency. I 0:15:05.040 --> 0:15:07.760 you know, Trump people, forget Trump one on the so 0:15:07.840 --> 0:15:11.160 called Muslim band. He won on that, and I told 0:15:11.200 --> 0:15:12.480 you he was going to win on that because he 0:15:12.520 --> 0:15:14.560 had the authority as the commander in chief to do that. 0:15:15.120 --> 0:15:17.400 And all these so called legal experts, you know, the 0:15:17.480 --> 0:15:19.640 Jeffrey Tubins of the world at CNN and these others, 0:15:19.720 --> 0:15:21.560 they were all saying, oh, no, no, no, you know, 0:15:21.600 --> 0:15:23.120 he can't do this, he can't do this, because that's 0:15:23.120 --> 0:15:25.440 what their audience wanted to hear. But it wasn't true. 0:15:26.760 --> 0:15:29.040 Buck doesn't even have a law degree. And I'm a 0:15:29.040 --> 0:15:31.880 better legal analyst than these libs who go on TV 0:15:32.000 --> 0:15:34.480 to talk about this stuff. Trust me, I'm right a 0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:38.480 lot more than they are. Pay attention. You'll see we 0:15:38.600 --> 0:15:42.920 got more coming up. Stay with me. The State of 0:15:42.920 --> 0:15:47.800 the Union, speech has been canceled by Nancy Philosy because 0:15:47.840 --> 0:15:50.320 she doesn't want to hear the truth. She doesn't want 0:15:50.360 --> 0:15:55.320 the American public to hear what's going on, and she's 0:15:55.360 --> 0:15:59.040 afraid of the truth and the super left Democrats, the 0:15:59.640 --> 0:16:02.640 radic old Democrats. What's going on in that party is shocking. 0:16:03.560 --> 0:16:06.440 I know many people that we're Democrats are this switching 0:16:06.480 --> 0:16:09.800 over right now, this switching over quickly. So I hope 0:16:09.800 --> 0:16:11.880 they know what they're doing for their party. So far 0:16:11.920 --> 0:16:18.960 they haven't. Nancy Pelosi is getting such a pass from 0:16:18.960 --> 0:16:21.920 the media on stuff. It's astonishing. First of all, for 0:16:21.960 --> 0:16:25.840 a third time, you have House Democrats that have decided 0:16:25.880 --> 0:16:29.200 they will not allow GOP efforts to actually pay federal 0:16:29.200 --> 0:16:31.560 workers during the shotdown to go through. They don't care 0:16:31.880 --> 0:16:34.760 these just like the Democrats with everything, They don't care 0:16:34.880 --> 0:16:38.160 that federal workers aren't getting paid. Really, they care that 0:16:38.240 --> 0:16:41.480 it looks like Republicans are big, mean meanings because federal 0:16:41.480 --> 0:16:44.800 workers are not getting paid. Nancy Pelosi is not losing 0:16:44.800 --> 0:16:47.040 sleep at night because Coast Guard and Border patrol are 0:16:47.040 --> 0:16:51.280 not getting paid. Trust me, all she and her little 0:16:51.280 --> 0:16:55.840 Democrat cohorts care about is that enough Americans are going Okay, well, 0:16:55.840 --> 0:16:58.600 I watched the news, and the news says the Republicans 0:16:58.600 --> 0:17:02.120 are responsible for those you know what about who's forget 0:17:02.160 --> 0:17:05.520 about who's responsible for the shutdown? Who's right in this debate? 0:17:06.960 --> 0:17:11.440 Who is correct the Republicans of the Democrats. Is there 0:17:11.440 --> 0:17:15.240 a crisis at the border? Yes? Would a fence help, 0:17:15.560 --> 0:17:17.680 among other things that Trump has laid out in a 0:17:18.040 --> 0:17:24.880 comprehensive and very serious proposal. Yes. Is it fully within 0:17:24.960 --> 0:17:27.200 the authority of the United States government to take these 0:17:27.200 --> 0:17:32.680 actions and try to secure the border? Yes? So why 0:17:32.720 --> 0:17:34.160 do we have to sit around and go, oh, well, 0:17:34.160 --> 0:17:36.720 it's the Republicans fall. The Democrats are the ones that 0:17:36.800 --> 0:17:40.119 are immigration extremist. They're making no sense in any of 0:17:40.119 --> 0:17:43.280 this stuff. They keep, you know, they keep hiding the ball, 0:17:43.440 --> 0:17:45.840 moving the football, doing all that stuff all the time. 0:17:47.000 --> 0:17:49.160 When you look at the substance of the issue, who 0:17:49.240 --> 0:17:51.280 is correct? And the truth is that the Republican Party 0:17:51.359 --> 0:17:55.040 is correct. Trump is correct. He makes a lot more 0:17:55.080 --> 0:17:56.840 sense on the board of the Nancy Pelosi does I 0:17:56.880 --> 0:18:00.720 can tell you that, but I think we all know 0:18:00.720 --> 0:18:04.240 where this is head. It's probably heading to an emergency declaration. 0:18:04.720 --> 0:18:07.359 And Democrats are gonna say that Trump is literally worse 0:18:07.359 --> 0:18:11.679 than Hitler. And the Ninth Circuit's gonna enjoy this, and 0:18:11.720 --> 0:18:13.680 they're gonna say, sorry, he can't do or are they're 0:18:13.680 --> 0:18:16.080 gonna put a stay on it or whatever. I shouldn't 0:18:16.080 --> 0:18:17.800 have made that lawyer comment. Now I'm like, Yeah, what's 0:18:17.800 --> 0:18:20.520 the legal language I gotta use here. They're gonna put 0:18:20.520 --> 0:18:22.720 a stop to it until it can go make its 0:18:22.720 --> 0:18:25.320 way through the courts, and that's where we'll be. But 0:18:26.440 --> 0:18:30.200 you know, give give Trump credit if he takes this 0:18:30.240 --> 0:18:31.960 thing all the way. He's taking this thing all the way. 0:18:31.960 --> 0:18:33.919 And I think his base, his voters are going to remember, 0:18:34.040 --> 0:18:36.400 and they're also gonna remember the Democrats on immigration are 0:18:36.440 --> 0:18:45.359 a bunch of liars. Ah, Yes, never Trumpers. There's a 0:18:45.480 --> 0:18:48.639 whole set of conservatives in the media and across the 0:18:48.680 --> 0:18:54.320 country that refer to themselves with pride as never Trump. 0:18:55.280 --> 0:18:59.520 And I've always said from the beginning of this never 0:18:59.560 --> 0:19:02.400 saying that. I know that sounds simplistic, but it's true. 0:19:02.440 --> 0:19:05.480 You know, you just don't know. And beyond that, what 0:19:05.560 --> 0:19:08.159 I see is that there are a lot of people 0:19:08.720 --> 0:19:11.880 who have adopted many of the what they think of 0:19:11.920 --> 0:19:17.600 as the as the cultural and ideological attributes of conservatism 0:19:17.840 --> 0:19:22.360 without actually caring about what's happening to conservatism and conservative 0:19:22.440 --> 0:19:26.880 causes conservative action. Right, So you know, people who think 0:19:26.920 --> 0:19:30.160 that they're carrying on the legacy of William F. Buckley 0:19:30.840 --> 0:19:35.720 by deciding that, you know, they should smoke a cob 0:19:35.760 --> 0:19:38.639 pipe where boat shoose and speak with kind of a 0:19:38.680 --> 0:19:43.040 fancy account about things instead of well, are we are 0:19:43.040 --> 0:19:46.800 we getting conservative judges? Are we getting lower tax rates? 0:19:46.800 --> 0:19:49.679 Are we getting less of regulation? Are we getting a 0:19:49.720 --> 0:19:52.360 foreign policy that focuses on American needs beyond the needs 0:19:52.400 --> 0:19:55.639 of foreign countries? Are we securing the border? You know, 0:19:56.480 --> 0:20:00.760 the reality of the of the implementation of ideas is 0:20:00.920 --> 0:20:04.200 irrelevant to them. It's just the going through the motions, right, 0:20:04.240 --> 0:20:09.160 It's it's the facade of conservatism, the veneer of conservatism 0:20:09.200 --> 0:20:14.919 in place of conservative action. And that then brings me 0:20:14.960 --> 0:20:18.920 to the little exchange that I had today with mister 0:20:20.080 --> 0:20:24.679 Charlie Sikes, who apparently used to have a radio show 0:20:25.320 --> 0:20:27.600 and not one that I ever listened to or heard of, 0:20:28.400 --> 0:20:30.879 but he came on my show Rising this morning. He 0:20:31.040 --> 0:20:35.240 is very very much a never trumper, and we talked 0:20:35.240 --> 0:20:41.520 a bit about the wall, the fence, the border, and 0:20:41.600 --> 0:20:43.320 there were some remarkable take us. By the way, I 0:20:43.320 --> 0:20:45.760 would recommend you to watch the whole clip. It's on 0:20:45.800 --> 0:20:48.080 Facebook right now. You got to Facebook dot com slash 0:20:48.119 --> 0:20:51.600 buck Sexton. It's also on YouTube, so you should be 0:20:51.640 --> 0:20:53.600 But the easiest ways to just go on my Facebook page. 0:20:53.600 --> 0:20:56.080 You'll see it there. And I want to walk you 0:20:56.160 --> 0:21:03.000 through some of what's gone on here. UM play play 0:21:03.080 --> 0:21:07.000 clip eleven. But why do you hit all a Donald 0:21:07.000 --> 0:21:10.119 Trump's feed when the Democrats are being completely intransient? I 0:21:10.119 --> 0:21:12.040 mean a year ago they were talking about twenty billion 0:21:12.080 --> 0:21:13.960 dollars of funding for border security in the wall, and 0:21:13.960 --> 0:21:15.639 now they're saying, we won't give you a dollar, not 0:21:15.720 --> 0:21:18.760 a dollar well, okay, saying that though, well, that's actually 0:21:18.800 --> 0:21:20.879 what Nancy Pelosi said recently. I mean, I don't know 0:21:20.880 --> 0:21:24.520 where she's today. She said, no, not a dollar wall. Okay. Well, 0:21:24.720 --> 0:21:27.280 that they've offered billions of dollars for board of Secure 0:21:27.359 --> 0:21:30.440 thousand and six, the Secure Fence Act passes, Chuck tchumers 0:21:30.480 --> 0:21:33.480 talking about twenty or fifteen billion dollars for border security overall, 0:21:33.480 --> 0:21:35.960 which would have included upgraded fence again security. So I'm 0:21:35.960 --> 0:21:37.600 just worrying. I mean, as you obviously don't like the 0:21:37.600 --> 0:21:39.880 President like what he's doing. But all of your eyers 0:21:39.920 --> 0:21:42.439 seem to go toward the Republicans and toward Trump on 0:21:42.440 --> 0:21:45.240 this and not toward the Democrats, who obviously don't want 0:21:45.280 --> 0:21:48.000 a secure border. I mean, that's clear. See that's that's 0:21:48.040 --> 0:21:50.760 just that's just that's just demogragu ry. How is that 0:21:50.920 --> 0:21:52.880 because of course they want to secure. We all wanted, 0:21:53.400 --> 0:21:55.600 we all, we all wanted by the way, the way 0:21:55.600 --> 0:21:57.720 you want to secure. Yes, they want a lot came 0:21:57.720 --> 0:22:01.600 back up for helping. Fuck, this is this is where 0:22:01.600 --> 0:22:05.400 it just all at all starts to go here. Democrats 0:22:05.440 --> 0:22:07.480 wanted to secure. Do you think Nancy Pelosi wants to 0:22:07.520 --> 0:22:11.000 secure border where people really just cannot get any illegally? 0:22:12.119 --> 0:22:15.560 Why do they object every time? You think that they 0:22:15.560 --> 0:22:17.480 want to shut down the magnet to bring people into 0:22:17.480 --> 0:22:21.160 this country, which would mean e verify, workplace verification, and 0:22:21.520 --> 0:22:26.760 internal enforcement of immigration laws, which means deportations of people. 0:22:27.960 --> 0:22:30.359
