Speaker 1: Mr garbutsch Off teared down this wall. Either you're with

2
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 1: us or you were with the terrorists. If you got

3
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 1: healthcare already, then you can keep your plan. If you

4
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:26,079
Speaker 1: are satisfied with President of the United States, take it

5
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 1: to a bank. Together, we will make America great again.

6
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 1: It's what you've been waiting for all day. The Buck

10
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton. Welcome to the Buck Sexton Show. Everybody, Thank

11
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: you so much for hanging out. Pleasure and a privilege

12
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 1: to have you joining me here in the Freedom Hut.

13
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:02,959
Speaker 1: We have a freestyle Friday and Effect, which means we're

14
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:05,039
Speaker 1: going to cover a whole bunch of different things throughout

15
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 1: the show, getting some serious stuff, have some fun, and

16
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 1: of course a little bit of St. Patrick's Day celebration

17
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: coming up later on. So we have a couple of

18
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:21,199
Speaker 1: main news stores. I wanted to get to today and

19
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:25,759
Speaker 1: that has to do with the latest on the investigation McCabe.

20
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 1: I think we're on McCabe firing watch though right this

21
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: could happen. It may occur even while we are on air.

22
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: There is the chance that we will bring you then

23
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: the the on air as it happens, or as it's reported,

24
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: at least breaking news about the firing. And so that's

25
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: just just keep that in mind that we might be

26
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: spicing up this Friday show a little bit with some

27
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: some breaking news there. And I would say about the

28
00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: McCabe firing, usually I would refrain from having any sort

29
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: of a celebratory tone or and I'm not by the way,

30
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: I would not celebrate it. I think it may be justice,

31
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: but I would not celebrate it. There's a difference. But

32
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,920
Speaker 1: usually i'd be a little more sympathetic to a multi decade,

33
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: multi decade government servant who was about to get his pension.

34
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 1: It seems a little intense, But then you realize two things,

35
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 1: or at least I realized two things as I think

36
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: about this. One. The conduct must be really egregious for

37
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: the Inspector General of the FBI to feel that a

38
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: termination at this stage of McCabe's career is necessary. We

39
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: don't know what the conduct is yet, so I can't feel, well,

40
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 1: we don't even know if he's gonna get fired, right,

41
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 1: But worried to be fired, and we don't know for what.

42
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,959
Speaker 1: Not clear to me if it's a bit stern, or

43
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: if it's exactly what has called for without knowing the

44
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: facts I leaned toward. It must have been really bad

45
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: if they're thinking about of this. But then there's the

46
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 1: the other component of this. I guess I'm getting into

47
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: the McCabe stuff. I'm switching the script here. I know

48
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 1: I this is all just a show that comes together

49
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: in my head. So it's not like we write it

50
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: all out beforehand and we've got blocks and different segments

51
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: like on TV, and now we have to have this

52
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: person on right. I can do whatever I want. The

53
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: Freedom hunt is a free flowing it's almost like a

54
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: living organism, my friends, all of us together. So the

55
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: McCabe firing main fact happened. The other reason that I

56
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: find myself feeling a little bit like, hey, I can't

57
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: I can't feel too much sympathy for the possible firing

58
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: of McCabe is that other people who may in fact

59
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 1: have suffered from McCabe's partisan actions have been ruined in

60
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: this process of figuring out what happened and who was

61
00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: doing what at the d O j FBI, Russia lusion,

62
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: the Muddler probe, all this stuff, right, all these different

63
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: pieces that are coming together, and it's hard to feel

64
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: all that much sadness for somebody who may have not

65
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: just stood by but being a part of trying to

66
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: ruin other people's lives. It troubles me that we have

67
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 1: now come to a place in our political discourse where

68
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 1: we seem to and when when I say we, I

69
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: mean a lot of Americans, not really you with me.

70
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 1: A lot of Americans seem to just want whoever disagrees

71
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 1: with them to be charged with the crime. And I

72
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 1: would say, well, it's different with Hillary, because it's not

73
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 1: that we didn't conjure up Hillary's crime. She committed them

74
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:49,839
Speaker 1: and they were real and she got away with it.

75
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 1: But they still want to lock up people on the

76
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:56,159
Speaker 1: other side of the aisle for minor crimes or perhaps

77
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: even no crime at all. You had to Dershoitz, I

78
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: Alan Dershowitz speaking about this and this comparison earlier today,

79
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 1: the Harvard law professor, I'm sure many of you are

80
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 1: familiar with. Here's what was said. General Flynn led guilty

81
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,480
Speaker 1: to lying to investigators. A lot of people say Hey,

82
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: look he did. General Flynn did no worse than what

83
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 1: Mr McCabe did and he lost everything. Is that a

84
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: fair comparison. No, he shouldn't have pleaded guilty. If he

85
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: wasn't guilty, he obviously pleaded guilty. That ends the matter.

86
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 1: But I haven't heard anything about McCabe acknowledging or admitting anything.

87
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:35,840
Speaker 1: And absent and admission, I think you need proof, so

88
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: you know, just saying he shouldn't have pleaded guilty. But

89
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: the fact of the matter is that when you face

90
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: down federal prosecutors in the federal government and they have

91
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: you on one of these things, and they may be

92
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: hiding exculpatory information, they may be colluding behind the scenes,

93
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: what choice do you really have. I've spoken to friends

94
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: of mine on prosecutor prosecutorial side about this, and they'll say,

95
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: you know, if we offer you a deal, you don't

96
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: take it because the federal sentences are stiff, they are rough.

97
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 1: I mean, it's easy for Dershowitz to say this, but

98
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: but the reality is that for Flynn, for Flynn, if

99
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: he had not taken a deal, he could have gotten

100
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 1: the max. Maybe who knows, they could say, oh, there's

101
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 1: extenuating circumstances. At a minimum, who's gonna serve a year

102
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: or two in prison prison for lying about a non crime?

103
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 1: And now we have McCay more and more information. By

104
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: the way, I have a story, big story that it's

105
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: actually the main story on I believe on Fox News

106
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,799
Speaker 1: right now as we go on air um on Fox

107
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:50,839
Speaker 1: News dot com. Yes it is struck page texts reveal

108
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:56,599
Speaker 1: personal relationship between FBI official judge recused from the Flynn case.

109
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 1: We have Sean Davis joining us later on in the

110
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 1: show today with that information. He is the co author

111
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: with Molly Hemingway of this piece. They have the text

112
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: messages that show this very strange relationship between a d

113
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: o J. Lawyer, FBI agent who was, keep in mind,

114
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: the director of counterintelligence at FBI, or maybe he was

115
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: a deputy director, but very senior counterintelligence officer at the FBI,

116
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 1: involved in the Hillary email investigation, involved in the Mueller

117
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: probe in the other stages, had to be pushed out

118
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 1: of the Mueller probe, and he had a relationship with

119
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 1: the fins a court judge that seems very very shady.

120
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: In fact, it was the same judge who presided over

121
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: the guilty plea of General Flynn. So to Dershowitz's point, Okay,

122
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 1: the process is the process, But what if the process

123
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: is tainted? What about the Ted Stevens situation? Um, what

124
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: about that where you had a senator who was railroaded

125
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: by partisan esecutors, whether it was because they didn't like

126
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: Republicans or because they just wanted to get a scalp.

127
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 1: That's on the record, that's clear they hit evidence. So yeah,

128
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: Stevens was facing all these charges, they had exculpatory evidence

129
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 1: on the center from Alaska, and by the way, that

130
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: then led to the Democrats picking up that Senate seat,

131
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 1: which was necessary for the passage of Obamacare. Understand. I

132
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 1: guess you'd call the political butterfly effect here. If prosecutors

133
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: going after Ted Stevens can result in a situation where

134
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 1: Obamacare can be passed, we need to take these things

135
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 1: very seriously when you're talking about corruption cases at a

136
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 1: high level, and it doesn't get any higher than a

137
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: presidential campaign, and the presidential administration that we are currently

138
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: is currently embattled. Um Ari Fleischer took a slightly different

139
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 1: tone than Dershowitz today. Remember him from the Bush administration Look,

140
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 1: there's only one way to do this, and it's by

141
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 1: the book. If there is precedent, If the SBI Inspector

142
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 1: General has previously fired people, meaning they did not get

143
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,319
Speaker 1: any of their pension, they should follow that president. If

144
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 1: there are examples where they're mitigating circumstances, do they apply here?

145
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: Taking away a man's pench and a woman's pension who

146
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 1: has been a lifelong government bureacrat is a heavy, heavy

147
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,079
Speaker 1: sentence shouly be imposed if it's deserved. The facts in

148
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 1: this case seemed to suggest it's deserved. We got to

149
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 1: know what they are, and I think that we're going

150
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 1: to be finding out he relatively soon. I think he's

151
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,959
Speaker 1: gonna get fired. I set it today on Outnumbered on

152
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 1: the Fox News couch. I believe McCabe is gonna get fired,

153
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: which is rare. I remember when I was at the NYPD,

154
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,199
Speaker 1: there was a case, it was some time before I

155
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 1: got there, about um a guy who had missus subpoena

156
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 1: power miss you subpoena power in order to get the

157
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: records of either next wife or an ex girlfriend. I forget,

158
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,079
Speaker 1: but that's a bit. I mean, there's a huge no no.

159
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,679
Speaker 1: And he had been on for a long time, and

160
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 1: I think he loves I think he I don't remember now.

161
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,079
Speaker 1: I think he lost his pension. I'm pretty sure he

162
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 1: did force appoenaing the phone records, so that's this can happen.

163
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: And it is really for a government servant, short of

164
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: criminal sanction, it's the it's the ultimate, the ultimate punishment

165
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: because if you're if you're close to getting and this

166
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 1: guy's days from getting his pension, this is what you've

167
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 1: been looking forward to and waiting for for a long time.

168
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: So we will see. But I think he's gonna get

169
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:37,319
Speaker 1: He's gonna get canned. Jonathan Turley, the law professor, he

170
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,079
Speaker 1: also spoke about this, And I'm just trying to give

171
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 1: you a variety of feelings and opinions on this one.

172
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 1: I actually meant to go to Turley first, but I

173
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: went to Dershwitz instead. Who's you never know what you're

174
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: gonna get with the Dirsh. You know, the Dirsh is uh.

175
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 1: He's kind of a wild man. Sometimes sometimes you're with him,

176
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 1: sometimes you're not. Turley, he's he's a steady player in

177
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,599
Speaker 1: the legal analysisiety. Here's what he had to say. The

178
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:02,839
Speaker 1: real is strange thing about all of this is that

179
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 1: McCabe so far has been worried more about pensions than prison.

180
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: That's not the choice that was given to Michael Flynn.

181
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: Michael Flynn, if you recall, was charged with false statements,

182
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: even though Comey's investigators reportedly believed that Flynn didn't intend

183
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: to mislead them. That's not, apparently the conclusion of the

184
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:29,439
Speaker 1: Inspector General with regard to McCabe. He's very important. The

185
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 1: FBI Inspector General, from what we know, claims that there

186
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 1: was a lack of candor from McCabe with regard to

187
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 1: his statements to investigators. Winning the FBI's Inspector General team

188
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:49,679
Speaker 1: about what happened when it came to the when it

189
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:53,599
Speaker 1: came to discussions with the media, and perhaps anything that

190
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: had to do with other the Hillary email investigation and

191
00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:00,839
Speaker 1: or looking into the Clinton Foundation, and a lack of

192
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 1: candor is a bureaucratese way of saying lied. But you'll

193
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: notice how important words are, right, extremely careless versus gross

194
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:16,199
Speaker 1: negligence that kept Hillary out of prison, and courtesy of

195
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 1: lanky weird ocomy, changing just those words was exculpatory. Oh well,

196
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 1: she wasn't grossly negligence. She was just extremely careless. Andy McCabe,

197
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 1: he's at a different category, different standard because he wasn't lying,

198
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 1: he was just lacking candor. Oh you'll see how lacking

199
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 1: candor Freendie McCabe may or may not result in disciplinary sanction,

200
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: but a judgment call about the veracity about the truthfulness

201
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 1: of General Michael Flynn. A judgment call was made that

202
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 1: he should be criminally prosecuted for it. And if it

203
00:12:59,920 --> 00:13:02,199
Speaker 1: was a judgment call, my friends, don't you think he

204
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,199
Speaker 1: should have gotten the benefit of the doubt. That's what

205
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 1: we keep seeing time and again from all of these investigations,

206
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 1: Hilary's emails, the Clinton Foundation, Russia collusion, all of it.

207
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:18,079
Speaker 1: The Democrats somehow always gets the benefit of the doubt,

208
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:25,680
Speaker 1: and then some the Republican, the person tied to Trump.

209
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 1: It's what the doubt of the benefit, whatever we would

210
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 1: call it, gets the raw end of the deal, the

211
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 1: raw end of the deal. And this happens with too

212
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: great a consistency and too great a frequency for it

213
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: to be a coincidence. This is the deep state that

214
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 1: we talked about. This is the corruption that grew to

215
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: the very top of the Department of Justice and the FBI,

216
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:58,319
Speaker 1: and we are just beginning to get some of the

217
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,679
Speaker 1: truth here. We're just beginning to see this for what

218
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,319
Speaker 1: it really was. We'll have we got more on this.

219
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 1: And also people are WHOA Russia. Russia's getting interesting right now.

220
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 1: They they have retaliated. I'll give you the details on that.

221
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: You have to stay with me. But also it is Friday,

222
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 1: so John, let's not leave people out who want to

223
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 1: get in on the I'm putting action movie. People keep

224
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 1: asking if I'm back, and I haven't really had an answer,

225
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: but now yeah, I'm thinking I'm back. Quote, you have

226
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 1: a right to be. Friday's don't come fo eight four

227
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 1: four n eight to five my friends eight four four

228
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 1: buck talking more about shady d O J stuff, McCabe's

229
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: pension on the line, and then Russia, all that more

230
00:14:49,680 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 1: coming up. The behavior, if it's manifested into action with

231
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 1: your thumb on the scale of a particular investigation one

232
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 1: way or the other, then that I mean that that's

233
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 1: borderline criminal behavior, manipulating an investigation. I think I think

234
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 1: that this i G Report is going to be particularly impactful,

235
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 1: more so than any of these useless congressional investigations. I

236
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 1: think you're gonna see some pure TNT come out in

237
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 1: this in this i G report. That was Chris Swecker,

238
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 1: who was an assistant who was the assistant director of

239
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 1: the FBI. He was on Fox News actually right after it,

240
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 1: right after I was on today and making some some predictions.

241
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 1: I totally agree with them. And there is something there's

242
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 1: There are criminal statutes that can apply. Just because you're

243
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 1: in government doesn't give you a free pass with stuff.

244
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 1: We all know that. Obviously with classified information you have

245
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 1: criminal ramifications for that, but also official misconduct. Uh, and

246
00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: it doesn't just have to be fraud. If you do

247
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 1: something really really bad and use your authority as a

248
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 1: government employee to do it, getting fired is not the

249
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 1: worst thing that can happen to you. There are other

250
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 1: things that can happen to you too, So I think

251
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 1: everyone needs to remember that with this whole FBI situation

252
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 1: as well. We have to see what comes out. I

253
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 1: think the the i G report will be made public

254
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 1: so we will know. Um. Jesse in Jackson, Mississippi, Hey,

Speaker 1: on Fox all the time, is an old friend of mine.

276
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 1: Jillian Turner, who you also see on Fox News, she's

277
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:33,639
Speaker 1: a friend of mine from when I lived in d

278
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 1: C and I was with the agency. So some of

279
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:38,880
Speaker 1: the some of the other national security punits you see

280
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:42,159
Speaker 1: out there were literally my social group in d C.

281
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:45,000

282
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:49,240

283
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,760

286
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:01,239
Speaker 1: I think we got it got a little. It got

287
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,360
Speaker 1: a little testy today sometimes, but it was all within

288
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 1: the It was all based on the substance. And I

289
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,679
Speaker 1: gotta say I think I was actually much more. Uh,

290
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 1: some of my my colleagues were having a much more

291
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 1: strenuous debate than I was having with any of them.

292
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 1: There was off to my left, things were getting really

293
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:18,399
Speaker 1: feisty for those you want to go back and see it.

294
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,120

00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 1: his back. We want to get to the bottom of it,

308
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 1: and we're really upset when you see at the highest

309
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 1: levels of the d J and FBI individuals who are

310
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 1: trying to turn their departments essentially into a political arm

311
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,399
Speaker 1: of the DNC and Hillary Clint campaign that needs to

312
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 1: be investigated. Yes it does. Shoes is gonna be only

313
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,880
Speaker 1: other foot folks. The pendulum can swing the other way

314
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 1: with using investigations as a weapon of politics, and in

315
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 1: this case, I think it's justified. I don't even I'm

316
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 1: not even looking at this from the cynical perspective, although

317
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:33,680
Speaker 1: we could. You got the party in powers getting hound

318
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 1: with all these investigations. Oh yeah, they want to play

319
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 1: that way. Maybe we should play that way. Maybe two

320
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:44,160
Speaker 1: can play at that game. I think it's about time.

321
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:46,920
Speaker 1: They think that the Mulla probe should stretch on for

322
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:52,360
Speaker 1: two three four years. Yeah, just more and more investigations.

323
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 1: Witnesses people losing their life savings, trying to defend themselves,

324
00:19:56,680 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 1: leaks to the just, to the CNN, Lucy, and then

325
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 1: they would probably love that. It's so fancy, Lucy. And

326
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 1: then he's Manafique, but Washington Post, New York Times, all

327
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 1: these others, and maybe we should just start investigating them.

328
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 1: See how they like it. You know, do one to

329
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 1: others might be a lesson. We need to teach the

330
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 1: Democrat deep state do one to others a reminder of

331
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 1: the Golden Rule via federal investigation. It could be it's

332
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 1: it's away, folks, It's one method. We could try it,

333
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:29,880
Speaker 1: all right, lots of lines, lit, I think every line

334
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 1: is let. All right, let's get into it. We have, uh,

335
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:38,680
Speaker 1: first up, Horace in Columbia, South Carolina. Hey Horse, Hey Buck,

336
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 1: how's it going, man? It's good? Thank you for your call, sir, Yes, sir, so,

337
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 1: your show yesterday was very timely, uh with with the

338
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 1: pole topic of liberals not wanting to use facts to debate. Yes,

339
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:58,639
Speaker 1: the psychology of liberal host or progressive hostility right, So

340
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 1: with the whole gun can fold debates coming up again,

341
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,399
Speaker 1: I mean I've lived through this as many times as

342
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 1: you have. I've tried to step outside of my box

343
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 1: and say, Okay, do they have a coherent argument somewhere

344
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 1: like Glenn Vick's control book on our side or John

345
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:20,119
Speaker 1: Watt's books? Is there anything you could point me to

346
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:25,880
Speaker 1: where they have any sort of factual this is our

347
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 1: side on gun control and why we want it. I

348
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 1: I can't think of what the the single seminal work

349
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 1: would be on the left for gun control off the

350
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,719
Speaker 1: top of my head, but I would say that if

351
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:39,200
Speaker 1: you want to know what they think and what the

352
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 1: arguments are that they use. I actually have a web browser.

353
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 1: This is true. I have a web browser that is

354
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 1: just bookmarked with and filled with all of my leftist

355
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:52,359
Speaker 1: reading material. So I go on Huffing and post Slate,

356
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 1: New York Times Watch, which was really interesting to me

357
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 1: because part of that article I told you about about

358
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 1: the psychology of of hostility and debates was we know

359
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 1: their side and they don't know ours. I actually spend

360
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 1: a good portion of my time every day reading how

361
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 1: the left explains to their own different arguments and ideas

362
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 1: and what their positions are so that I really understand

363
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 1: them so so really, I think the best place to

364
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:21,199
Speaker 1: go would just be do a search in the New

365
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 1: York Times editorial page of on guns, same thing the

366
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,399
Speaker 1: Washington Post, and you'll see a consolidation there of what

367
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 1: the progressive view is. In terms of any one book,

368
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 1: I don't know of. I don't know of a liberal

369
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,399
Speaker 1: that has tackled the issue of gun control from the

370
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,919
Speaker 1: perspective of let's go all in because here's the thing, horace,

371
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:43,399
Speaker 1: they don't want to put down on paper for the

372
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 1: most part, what the real goal is, which is confiscation

373
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 1: and the elimination of the Second Amendment. Remember that there's

374
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:51,879
Speaker 1: a there's a dishonesty that's inherent in a lot of

375
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 1: the liberal arguments against guns, and that they won't tell

376
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:59,359
Speaker 1: us what they really want, which is confiscation. I've found

377
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 1: it hard, you know, I fortnelt from guns and looked

378
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:05,439
Speaker 1: at just what is their stance on the abortion? Can

379
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:10,199
Speaker 1: they give a coherent here is why they can't they? Oh,

380
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:12,159
Speaker 1: they would point you to they would point you to

381
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 1: the judicial opinion Roe v. Wade. I think is probably

382
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 1: there you're right, I agree with you, but I'm just

383
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 1: saying that's probably what they would say. And you'll notice,

384
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,159
Speaker 1: I mean, the arguments that they use in favor of abortion.

385
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 1: It's a lot of buzzwords and a lot of sloppy thinking.

386
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 1: It's very weak. Even honest liberals that I know will

387
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:34,639
Speaker 1: say that Roe v. Wade is garbage legal interpretation, but

388
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 1: they still agree with the They agree with the outcome,

389
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 1: but they know that it's bad law exactly. Yeah, you know,

390
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 1: well it is uh and you know, look, this is

391
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 1: oh wow. I'm just noticing now they're they're running the

392
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:48,400
Speaker 1: text messages between Page and Struck on TV as we're

393
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:49,639
Speaker 1: on the air. Horse. We'll have to get to that

394
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 1: in a second. But as as for you know what, Horse,

395
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:53,639
Speaker 1: let me give this some thought. You know, whould be

396
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 1: the guy to ask. I will, because I'm in contact

397
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:58,400
Speaker 1: with him. I'm in contact directly with John Lott. I'll

398
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 1: send him a message and say, hey, what's the best

399
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:06,159
Speaker 1: one place counter argument book on basically pro gun control?

400
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 1: And I'll see what he says and if I get

401
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 1: an answer to let you know, how about that? I

402
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,199
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Yeah, you can just mention it on your

403
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:13,680
Speaker 1: show absolutely rock and roll. Brother, Thank you for calling

404
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 1: and have a great Sympatrick staying a good weekend. Let's

405
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:20,400
Speaker 1: take Uh. We've got so many wonderful colors here today,

406
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 1: Herb in New Jersey? What up, Herb? Hey Shields high,

407
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:29,919
Speaker 1: Buck Fields High, Herb. I have just two quick comments

408
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:32,399
Speaker 1: before I get to my point. First of all, during

409
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 1: your opening monologue, yeah me chuckle a couple of times,

410
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 1: and I thought to myself, Man, Buck is such a

411
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 1: fun guy to hang out with, even if only on

412
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:45,440
Speaker 1: the radio. Thank you. I appreciate you're certainly you're certainly welcome. Um,

413
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 1: it's it's a great show. UM. My second comment is um,

414
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 1: and you know try I hope you're wearing a hat

415
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 1: to keep your head from swelling up here we go. UM.

416
00:24:56,280 --> 00:25:02,159
Speaker 1: Because of your background, you see so many things that

417
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 1: most of us will never see. And when you're offering

418
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 1: your analysis on the air, uh being on radio or TV, UM,

419
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,919
Speaker 1: you know you're doing so from a lens that sees

420
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:17,160
Speaker 1: things a little bit deeper than most of us will

421
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 1: ever understand. And for that, I just want to thank

422
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 1: you for what you do uh here on the air

423
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,919
Speaker 1: with us. So you're very kind. Her thank you. Now

424
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 1: going to my point, UM, you know I I believed

425
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:34,680
Speaker 1: and fully supported and still do uh President Trump. UM.

426
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 1: And in particular, um uh you know I was encouraged

427
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 1: by his promise to drain the swamp. Now, in the

428
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 1: case of Mr McCabe, if he doesn't instruct Attorney General

429
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 1: Sessions to make sure that Mr McCabe is fired, um

430
00:25:56,480 --> 00:26:02,399
Speaker 1: as a message to all the other bad um that

431
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 1: you think that would be disappointing and that would be

432
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:09,199
Speaker 1: failing to uphold Trump's promise of draining the swamp. Right, Yeah, well,

433
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 1: I can agree with you in principle, although the way

434
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 1: that this works is actually the President doesn't have any

435
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 1: direct say over this because it falls under civil service rules.

436
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:21,160
Speaker 1: It's actually not something the President weighs in on. Specifically.

437
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:25,120
Speaker 1: That said, the i G report, I believe has already

438
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 1: recommended firing. It's up to It's up to the Attorney General.

439
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 1: So the i G, of course the Inspector General for

440
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 1: listening the a G. The Attorney General can decide that

441
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 1: he's going to go with the recommendation or not, So

442
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 1: it's really herb in Attorney General Sessions is hands whether

443
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 1: this is going to be a firing or not, and

444
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:47,920
Speaker 1: we will have to see and thank you for the

445
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 1: kind words, sir. She'ld tie and have a great weekend,

446
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 1: a great St. Patrick's Day. Let's take Steve in Biloxi, Mississippi. Hey, Steve,

447
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:01,400
Speaker 1: Steve here a TV. But I don't hear you. Where

448
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:06,359
Speaker 1: are you, my friend? I think Steve taking nap. Steve's

449
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:10,399
Speaker 1: disappeared on us. Oh he's listening on delay maybe and

450
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 1: he says that, Buck, all right, Steve, we'll come back

451
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:14,719
Speaker 1: to you. Maybe we'll try that. Let's get to uh,

452
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 1: look at Kenny up in Boston, our brother in Boston. Kenny,

453
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 1: what's going on? Hi? Buck? What's up? I got a

454
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 1: movie quote that may be pertinent here. Uh something last

455
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 1: week you said kinda disappointed me. You said something about

456
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 1: old movies stink or something to that. I think I said,

457
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 1: hold hold up, hold hold your horses, Kenny. I said,

458
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:38,200
Speaker 1: black and white movies are overrated. And I stand behind that.

459
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 1: I just you know, John is literally pulling out the

460
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:46,440
Speaker 1: gong on me right now. I have a quote from

461
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 1: a black and white movie, and I will tell you

462
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 1: the year of it. I'll give you a hint. Nineteen

463
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 1: fifty seven. It's a action movie. It's a war movie.

464
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,640
Speaker 1: I consider all war movies to be action movies. It's

465
00:27:56,680 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 1: a quote within a quote, so, uh, protagonist is quoting

466
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 1: an English writer named Samuel Johnson, and our protagonist says, well,

467
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 1: Samuel Johnson said, patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel.

468
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:24,159
Speaker 1: And you know the movie you got me? What is it?

469
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 1: It's a movie called Paths of Glory. It's by Stanley Koprick,

470
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:33,679
Speaker 1: a fantastic director. And the protagonist was Kirk Douglas speaking

471
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 1: that I highly recommended. It's a World War one movie,

472
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 1: and there are very few World War one action movie.

473
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 1: This movie is is great. I think I should give

474
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 1: it a look one time, and I think you will

475
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 1: like this. And it's very realistic and it's very realistic

476
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 1: uh um war scenes. You know, pass the gloria. I'll

477
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 1: check it out. Thank you very much, Kenny for calling

478
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 1: in shields. How do you, buddy? Uh? You know, I've

479
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 1: got a whole list of Maybe I'll go back and

480
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,720
Speaker 1: I'll try some more black and white movies just so

481
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 1: I can really put some meat on the bones of

482
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 1: my criticism here. You know, if I'm gonna be a

483
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 1: contrary the thing about being a contrarit is you. You

484
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 1: gotta come prepared for battle. And I know that people

485
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 1: think that black and white movies are good. It's like

486
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 1: whenever I tell everybody that Bruce Springsteen is super overrated,

487
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 1: I'm it's accurate, right, exactly, It's just accurate. But the Springsteen,

488
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 1: I know, we've had some New Jersey people calling, and

489
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 1: the Springsteen fans come after you like the Beyonce mafia

490
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 1: comes after you like you are just at their mercy.

491
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 1: So you better be ready to be like, oh yeah,

492
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 1: Why is it that he only has two songs you

493
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 1: can name off the top of your head? You know

494
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 1: you just I have the deep breath on this one.

495
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 1: Don't even get me started on Bob Dylan. Oh he's

496
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 1: the words smith of his generation. Please. Dylan sings about

497
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 1: as well as as gurgling gurgen speaks. Mr jam Remary

498
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:55,720
Speaker 1: singer song for Nick Soon. All right, we're gonna roll

499
00:29:55,720 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 1: in a quick break. We'll be right back. We don't

500
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 1: have any personnel changes at this time. But the president

501
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 1: shouldn't be bound because Democrats and in the Senate can't

502
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 1: do their job. If the president wants to be able

503
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 1: to make a change because he feels like it's the

504
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:22,240
Speaker 1: right thing for the American people. His hands shouldn't be

505
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 1: tied because Democrats failed to do what they were elected

506
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 1: to do. This president was elected to put forward policies

507
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 1: and push those policies forward with the team that he selects,

508
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 1: not the team that the Democrats think he should have.

509
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 1: That's not how the system works. And just because they

510
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 1: don't want the president to have his full team, that

511
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 1: doesn't mean if he decided to make changes, he shouldn't

512
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 1: be able to. At this rate, the United States Senate

513
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 1: would take eleven and a half years to confirm our nominees.

514
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 1: Eleven and a half years to confirm our nominees. In

515
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 1: the first entire term of the George H. W. Bush administration,

516
00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 1: his entire four years, he faced one close your vote.

517
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 1: In the entire four years of the Clinton administration, he

518
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 1: faced ten cloture votes. Under the George W. Bush administration,

519
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 1: the entire first term, he faced four closure votes. Barack

520
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 1: Obama face seventeen is in first entire four years. We

521
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 1: have faced seventy nine in our first fourteen months. This

522
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 1: is very important, folks. Those two sound bites, you are

523
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 1: getting a sense of how the Democrats are are stocking

524
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 1: the pond and pulling fish out of it, if you will.

525
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 1: They are, on the one hand, saying there's chaos, there's

526
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 1: all these unfilled slots, all these news stores, Washing Post

527
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 1: New York talks, Oh my gosh, we don't have enough

528
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 1: bureaucross what's gonna happen to us? Muffle? You've got the crumpets.

529
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 1: And then you find out that they won't let the

530
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 1: administration fill a lot of those slots. The numbers don't lie.

531
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:01,240
Speaker 1: Cloture votes are what is it's it's the term used

532
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 1: in the Senate for essentially shutting it down so there's

533
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 1: no vote, right, That's that's what they do. It prevents

534
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 1: there from being a vote on the nominees. Uh. And

535
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 1: they're just they're in the minority, but they're shutting it

536
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 1: down time and again so on. So you actually have

537
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 1: Democrats complaining about how there aren't enough Trump administration staffings

538
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 1: that are getting filled, their staffers that are being pulled

539
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 1: in for these roles, while the Senate Democrats, with Chuck

540
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:35,480
Speaker 1: Schumer leading them, are doing every literally everything in their power,

541
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:39,320
Speaker 1: not like theoretically they're actually are doing everything that they

542
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 1: can to stop nominees from getting through. So they're they're

543
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 1: on they're on both sides of the transaction here. Yeah,

544
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 1: they're they're like they're they're lighting there. They're taking matches

545
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 1: and throwing them into the house and then running the

546
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 1: streets saying, oh my gosh, there's no fire department here.

547
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 1: It's like, well, maybe stop blighting the house on fire.

548
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:00,680
Speaker 1: That would be a better would be a better way

549
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 1: to go. But the storyline about personnel and about the

550
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 1: White House, look, I've seen the stories. To mc master,

551
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 1: the National Security Advisor may not be long for this administration.

552
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 1: But you know what, he's a four star general. He's

553
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 1: got a very distinguished career. He's a very well regarded guy.

554
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 1: He's gonna be fine. You know, he served for a year.

555
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 1: Maybe we'll move on to something else. Chilkin at the

556
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 1: Veterans Affairs I think he might want to keep a

557
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 1: cardboard box handy in his office. I think right likely.

558
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 1: And who's the other I don't think Kelly's going I

559
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 1: don't buy that. I see that reporting. No way Trump

560
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 1: likes Kelly. Kelly Kelly and Trump, I don't. I don't

561
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 1: see that. People are saying it. But Nope, there may

562
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 1: be some people inside the White House that would like

563
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 1: to see Kelly go. I won't speculate on that, but

564
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:53,800
Speaker 1: I'm sure you could probably take some guesses. Maybe some

565
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 1: people that are not not thrilled with Kelly right now.

566
00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 1: But that doesn't mean Trump's gonna say goodbye to him,

567
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 1: so I doubt that. But speaking of departures, this has

568
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 1: been reported all over the place. I actually say I'm

569
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 1: telling you this story out of some sympathy. So this

570
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 1: is multiple sources confirming that Rex Tillerson, and I'm only

571
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:18,440
Speaker 1: I'm not telling you this to be gross, but you're

572
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 1: gonna probably see it. It's getting a lot of play

573
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 1: right now on social media. Rex Tillerson was fired while

574
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:29,719
Speaker 1: he was in the lou That's how we found out

575
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:34,279
Speaker 1: he was in the Privy and the reason he was,

576
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 1: and he was told by Kelly, the White House Chief

577
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:39,799
Speaker 1: of Staff. While he was in the lou. I saw

578
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:42,919
Speaker 1: this headline. I thought, well, that's this is just weird

579
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:46,320
Speaker 1: on so many levels. Tillerson had picked up a stomach

580
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 1: bug on his Africa trip, and so he was in

581
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 1: rough shape. And I just say this because I have

582
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:55,240
Speaker 1: I have been in that same spot stomach bug in Africa.

583
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 1: Let me tell you things you never want to have

584
00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 1: to tell anybody that you know, you never want to

585
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:00,120
Speaker 1: have to say the words I've got to I m

586
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 1: acbug while I'm in Africa. Uh, and he got really sick.

587
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:06,800
Speaker 1: So I feel badly for him, and it just makes me.

588
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:10,279
Speaker 1: It just reminds me that you can think you are tough,

589
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:12,359
Speaker 1: you can think you are cool, but if you get

590
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 1: hit with the wrong kind of you eat some undercooked

591
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:18,880
Speaker 1: meat in the third world country, my friends, you you

592
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:24,439
Speaker 1: have a new sense of humility. Oh yeah, I don't.

593
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 1: I don't care who you are. You find me the

594
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:30,719
Speaker 1: toughest dude. You find me the world's strongest man. And

595
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:34,239
Speaker 1: he eats some uh, some bad kebab in uh, you know,

596
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 1: eat some bad kebab in Afghanistan. Oh, it's all over.

597
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 1: He's gonna have a rough couple of days. So I

598
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:44,799
Speaker 1: feel badly for tellers everyone reporting on the story, because

599
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:46,320
Speaker 1: you know, they're all laughing about how he was on

600
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:50,719
Speaker 1: the you know, on the porcelain throne while while he

601
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 1: was dethroned. But it was because he was dealing with

602
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:56,920
Speaker 1: some food poisoning in Africa, which is I've I've been

603
00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:59,879
Speaker 1: there with rough, rough stuff. So anyway you see that story,

604
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 1: I at least know what's going on because the headlines

605
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:05,320
Speaker 1: are all like fired while on the pot. There you go.

606
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:07,719
Speaker 1: It's not not the way the most secretaries of state

607
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 1: would want to go out. But also I would note

608
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:12,759
Speaker 1: that the reporters a little bit of glee and oh yeah,

609
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:15,920
Speaker 1: this is you know, the the ignominious ending directs Tillerson's

610
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:19,120
Speaker 1: tenure as Secretary of State. But hey, look happens to

611
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:33,480
Speaker 1: the best of us, right, happened to me. The President

612
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:36,280
Speaker 1: has also shown that he's been extremely tough on Russia

613
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 1: throughout his administration, and I think particularly you saw that

614
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:43,279
Speaker 1: today in the Russia sanctions that were put forward. I

615
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:47,280
Speaker 1: think you can see what the administration's viewpoint is simply

616
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 1: by looking at the actions that we took today by

617
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:53,239
Speaker 1: placing new sanctions on Russia. Welcome back to the Buck

618
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 1: Sexton Show. There you had Sarah Huckabee Sanders talking about

619
00:36:57,120 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 1: the actions the White House taken against Russia, which is

620
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:05,399
Speaker 1: scaring everyone so much. It's like we're entering some new

621
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:09,800
Speaker 1: phase of a Cold war. People are so deeply concerned

622
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 1: about where all this is heading. And oh, yeah, there

623
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 1: you go. Something particularly about the All All Mile Russian

624
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:22,520
Speaker 1: choral group is like, you know, you can just see

625
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:25,400
Speaker 1: a submarine with a big hammer and sickle on it,

626
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:28,279
Speaker 1: getting ready to bring the world to the brink of annihilation.

627
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:32,480
Speaker 1: So I still think that's also the best Tom Clancy movie.

628
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:35,240
Speaker 1: Tom Clancy book made a new movie Hunt for October.

629
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:39,879
Speaker 1: So the Trump administration has come out with some new

630
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:43,879
Speaker 1: actions against Russian last couple of days, more sanctions. They've

631
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:48,279
Speaker 1: put the thirteen Russians indicted by Mueller's probe actually on

632
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:52,360
Speaker 1: the sanctions list. So that's pretty you know that that's

633
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:53,719
Speaker 1: a gimme. I don't think that's a hard one to

634
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:57,480
Speaker 1: pull off. But also Russia has accused I'm sorry, the

635
00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:01,960
Speaker 1: Trump administration has accused Russia of campaign of cyber attacks

636
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:07,880
Speaker 1: targeting the US power grid. This is from nprs website,

637
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:10,440
Speaker 1: but the news here is pretty straightforward. The reporting similar

638
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:14,040
Speaker 1: across platform, so just bear with me. This is NPR quote.

639
00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 1: Since at least March, Russian hackers attempted to infiltrate numerous

640
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:27,760
Speaker 1: sectors of American infrastructure, including energy, nuclear, commercial facilities, water, aviation,

641
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 1: and manufacturing. According to a Department of Homeland Security report

642
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:34,799
Speaker 1: published on Thursday. The announcement came as the White House

643
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:38,880
Speaker 1: impost sanctions against nineteen Russians and five entities for allegedly

644
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 1: interfering in u S presidential election and other cyber attacks.

645
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:52,480
Speaker 1: Let me state that this is not new Russia probing

646
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:56,320
Speaker 1: our cyber defenses trying to find ways in. This is

647
00:38:56,719 --> 00:39:01,759
Speaker 1: the new surveillance for or future warfare. This is what

648
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:06,440
Speaker 1: we can expect to be happening with any adversary going forward.

649
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 1: They want to map out our electronic networks of all

650
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:14,879
Speaker 1: kinds and if possible, not just know where things are

651
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 1: and know what we have, but also shut it down

652
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:23,080
Speaker 1: when the time comes. Think about it if you had

653
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:24,319
Speaker 1: and this is where some of you I know are

654
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:26,719
Speaker 1: probably yelling about e m p s as well, But

655
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:30,440
Speaker 1: given the way that we fight wars today, if you

656
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:35,640
Speaker 1: were able to shut off an adversary's electric grid, even

657
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 1: for a couple of hours, what kind of advantage that

658
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:42,759
Speaker 1: would give you? Right? Think about what that would mean.

659
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:45,359
Speaker 1: The panic that you set off and people say all

660
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:47,799
Speaker 1: back that the military has you know, redundant power source

661
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:50,400
Speaker 1: isn't all right? But think about what what happened in

662
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 1: the civilian areas while that was going on, and any

663
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:57,760
Speaker 1: military strike that would be conducted with even a partial

664
00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:01,440
Speaker 1: power outage, are partial black out would just seem magnified

665
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:05,399
Speaker 1: in the mind of those that had, you know, those

666
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:07,040
Speaker 1: that were in the dark basically right, and the rest

667
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:09,839
Speaker 1: of the country as well. And the Russians have been

668
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:11,799
Speaker 1: working on this for a while. They've been they've been

669
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:17,840
Speaker 1: experimenting and probing for some or some time. So people

670
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 1: are going to obviously look at this and be concerned,

671
00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 1: as they should be. Let's not blow this out of proportion.

672
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 1: The problem comes in a sense with understanding what proportion

673
00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:30,560
Speaker 1: really is. I think that's fair to say, how do

674
00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:34,959
Speaker 1: you respond to Russia poking around in our power grid?

675
00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:40,320
Speaker 1: What is a real what what is a realistic and

676
00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:44,520
Speaker 1: fair response to that. We've we're trying diplomatic stuff, We've

677
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:48,840
Speaker 1: tried sanctions, We're putting additional sanctions on them. See, Russia

678
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:52,560
Speaker 1: can't be blocked off from the world. Russia can't be contained.

679
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:55,399
Speaker 1: Look at what's going on, even with North Korea, where

680
00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:59,520
Speaker 1: you have a vast majority of the world states that

681
00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:02,399
Speaker 1: matter are that's probably a very unpc thing to say,

682
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:04,960
Speaker 1: but on the global stage, only certain countries really really

683
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:08,480
Speaker 1: make a difference on security policy. And now we're all

684
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 1: unique snowflakes and we're all equal in God's eyes. But

685
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:14,759
Speaker 1: I'm talking about countries and power politics here. Ah, the

686
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:19,640
Speaker 1: North Koreans are able to get around sanctions and they

687
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:24,399
Speaker 1: can't even be effectively cut off from global markets from

688
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:29,560
Speaker 1: cyber activity. You know, containment is never perfect, and containment

689
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:34,000
Speaker 1: is even harder with a country the size of Russia

690
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:38,279
Speaker 1: and the importance of Russia. And you've got Putin is

691
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:43,279
Speaker 1: about to coast to a fourth I believe victory as presidents,

692
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:44,920
Speaker 1: so he's who are going to be dealing with for

693
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:50,040
Speaker 1: the foreseeable future. That's why as we look at these

694
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:54,560
Speaker 1: different polkes and prods that we are getting from the Russians,

695
00:41:55,600 --> 00:42:00,239
Speaker 1: we need to understand that everything we do has to

696
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:02,840
Speaker 1: take into account that there will be follow on actions

697
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:04,840
Speaker 1: from the Russians and that they have their own ways

698
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:08,640
Speaker 1: of making things more difficult for us. People are talking

699
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:10,600
Speaker 1: about how this is a second Cold War. I think

700
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 1: that's overblown. Although I didn't read a book some years

701
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:17,000
Speaker 1: ago about the new The New Cold War was the

702
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:21,600
Speaker 1: title of the book. It's different now. The Russians aren't

703
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:25,839
Speaker 1: waging some campaign for international Communism as they were when

704
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:29,120
Speaker 1: they were the Soviet Union. But they do seek to

705
00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:33,680
Speaker 1: regain some sense of lost glory. I always remember the

706
00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:35,520
Speaker 1: words of a Polish friend of mine that I've stuck

707
00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:38,960
Speaker 1: with me that nothing brings Russians together like suffering. It

708
00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:45,200
Speaker 1: has been a phrase that provided necessary context and wisdom

709
00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:47,440
Speaker 1: for a lot of what I see going on with

710
00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:53,160
Speaker 1: Putin's regime. We see all this aggressiveness from the Nova

711
00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:57,000
Speaker 1: Chalk poisoning in the United Kingdom to what the Russians

712
00:42:57,080 --> 00:42:59,600
Speaker 1: have done in Syria. They didn't even really blink an

713
00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 1: eye when two hundred Russians reportedly up to two Russians

714
00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:09,000
Speaker 1: were killed fighting as paramilitaries alongside Syria as a sad regime.

715
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:13,840
Speaker 1: So but we we see this reporting, we think to ourselves, Russia,

716
00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:17,960
Speaker 1: such a becoming such a pariah and the international community

717
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:21,120
Speaker 1: and you know, the at the United Nations and other places,

718
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:26,160
Speaker 1: it's so out of what is the what are expectations

719
00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:29,719
Speaker 1: for great powers? And all the all those things you

720
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:33,360
Speaker 1: can throw in there. Meanwhile, Putin has actually got a

721
00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:36,880
Speaker 1: lot of support inside the Russian inside the Russian population,

722
00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:41,160
Speaker 1: among the Russian population, and much of what we see

723
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:45,640
Speaker 1: as necessary responses to his aggressiveness plays out in Russia

724
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:48,160
Speaker 1: like we are all ganging up on them, trying to

725
00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:52,400
Speaker 1: prevent them from establishing their own spheres of influence. And

726
00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:54,239
Speaker 1: you know, this is where you start to get into

727
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:58,000
Speaker 1: the the tribalism that does exist among nation states, right,

728
00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:01,520
Speaker 1: the sense that people have an allegian to country, and

729
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:04,640
Speaker 1: the Russian people feel like in the post Soviet era,

730
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:07,759
Speaker 1: they've gotten a raw deal and they want somebody who

731
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:11,080
Speaker 1: pushes back, punches back, fights back for them, and many

732
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:12,960
Speaker 1: of them think that that is Putin. There was a

733
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:16,320
Speaker 1: profile done a while ago. I can't remember which magazine

734
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:18,160
Speaker 1: it was in, but it was of what essentially what

735
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:21,799
Speaker 1: Putin's day to day is like. And he starts off

736
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:26,600
Speaker 1: reading the working man's newspaper in Russia. You know, he started,

737
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:30,760
Speaker 1: I don't mean look like the workers Party, communist apparatic newspaper.

738
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:33,719
Speaker 1: I mean like what you know, the equivalent I'm gonna

739
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:35,480
Speaker 1: I was gonna name some papers here, but I don't

740
00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:38,080
Speaker 1: want to, you know, but the equivalent here of of

741
00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:42,239
Speaker 1: a tabloid daily that you know, folks would read quickly

742
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:44,400
Speaker 1: on the subway on their way to work. That's what

743
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:47,840
Speaker 1: he starts with. For Russians in Russian, Right, that's what

744
00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:50,120
Speaker 1: he wants to know. What is the what is the

745
00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:52,959
Speaker 1: every day that the working man in Russia think about things,

746
00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:56,840
Speaker 1: what's on his mind. And a lot of the stuff

747
00:44:56,840 --> 00:45:00,279
Speaker 1: that we see going on doesn't matter a bit, you know,

748
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:04,279
Speaker 1: this stuff that's happened really in Syria And Nope, that's

749
00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:10,000
Speaker 1: if anything, that's just Russia upholding its obligations to its

750
00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:12,840
Speaker 1: friends and allies and partners. Right, that's the way that

751
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:15,879
Speaker 1: it is viewed inside the country at some level. Yeah,

752
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:18,520
Speaker 1: they hide dead bodies from the people of Russia. They

753
00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:21,279
Speaker 1: don't want them to know how deep the entanglements are.

754
00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:23,800
Speaker 1: And there's a lot of propaganda going on with all this.

755
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:26,239
Speaker 1: But we need to understand what we're really dealing with

756
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:28,640
Speaker 1: here on the other side of the table. This is

757
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:33,000
Speaker 1: not a country that is waiting to have a This

758
00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:34,719
Speaker 1: is not a country that is just waiting any day

759
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:38,760
Speaker 1: now for things to get much more Americanized and everything

760
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:42,960
Speaker 1: to just be great. There's a certain pride and sense

761
00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:46,000
Speaker 1: of being under siege that unites the Russian people. Like

762
00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:48,680
Speaker 1: I said, nothing brings them together like suffering, and they

763
00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:50,920
Speaker 1: feel like the international community is being unfair to them.

764
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:54,200
Speaker 1: Right now, they're being victimized by it. This is certainly

765
00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:55,880
Speaker 1: the narrative that Putin is. I mean, look, this is

766
00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:58,160
Speaker 1: all what I'm telling you is kind of the out

767
00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:01,080
Speaker 1: of the RTI propaganda playbook. I'm not saying this is true.

768
00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:03,920
Speaker 1: I'm just saying this is what is disseminated from the

769
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:07,520
Speaker 1: Kremlin on down and is believed pretty widely in Russia.

770
00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:10,080
Speaker 1: And so it's with that that you have to now

771
00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:13,680
Speaker 1: look at us, with our media talking about all these

772
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:20,520
Speaker 1: election hackings and these sanctions, and the American media's anti

773
00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:25,839
Speaker 1: Russia obsession, which has been so inflamed because of their

774
00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:29,680
Speaker 1: anti Trump obsession, makes it look like we are a

775
00:46:29,719 --> 00:46:33,920
Speaker 1: little hysterical over there. So there there's a sense that

776
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:35,960
Speaker 1: we've lost a little bit of credibility I think with

777
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:38,279
Speaker 1: the Russian population, or at least with some segment of it,

778
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:41,320
Speaker 1: that we are always looking for some reason to be

779
00:46:41,600 --> 00:46:46,600
Speaker 1: upset at Russia, sometimes very much justified, as in the

780
00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:51,880
Speaker 1: case of the nov chuck Uh neurochemical poisoning that occurred.

781
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:55,560
Speaker 1: But another stuff with all the different news reports, I mean,

782
00:46:55,680 --> 00:47:01,160
Speaker 1: how you see so much more of Vladimir Putin on CNN.

783
00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:04,480
Speaker 1: His name is said with so much greater frequency. Then

784
00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:06,440
Speaker 1: you will see the photo of or hear the name

785
00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:10,240
Speaker 1: of Hijin Ping, the dictator of China now folks president

786
00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:14,360
Speaker 1: for life. Okay, no more George Orwell's animal farm. A

787
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:17,040
Speaker 1: lot of words banned from the Chinese Internet now because

788
00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:21,480
Speaker 1: they don't want people to be describing accurately what jin

789
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:24,920
Speaker 1: Ping has become. That's a country with a billion people,

790
00:47:25,480 --> 00:47:29,720
Speaker 1: second largest economy in the world, and has big plans

791
00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:32,120
Speaker 1: for its future, plans that are going to conflict with

792
00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:35,879
Speaker 1: ours at some point. But the American media is much

793
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:39,279
Speaker 1: more concerned with making making it seem like Russia is

794
00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:42,240
Speaker 1: lurking in every or Putin is lurking in every corner,

795
00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:45,080
Speaker 1: and the Russians are trying to drag us into some

796
00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:48,239
Speaker 1: kind of Cold war two point oh or maybe even

797
00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:53,280
Speaker 1: three point oh. Now this this new phase. The Trump administration, meanwhile,

798
00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:56,560
Speaker 1: which has gotten so much heat, it's gotten so much

799
00:47:56,600 --> 00:47:59,640
Speaker 1: pushback for not doing enough on Russia, has done a

800
00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:03,160
Speaker 1: lot on Russia in the last few weeks and really

801
00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:07,040
Speaker 1: over the course of the administration. I've mentioned to the

802
00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:11,960
Speaker 1: provision of Javelin anti tank missiles to the Ukrainian National

803
00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:16,080
Speaker 1: Army to fight against Russian backed and Russian just Russian

804
00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:21,120
Speaker 1: UH separatists in eastern Ukraine. There's also now sanctions that

805
00:48:21,239 --> 00:48:25,880
Speaker 1: have been expanded upon against Russian entities and individuals because

806
00:48:25,960 --> 00:48:29,319
Speaker 1: of some of what they have, some of what they've done.

807
00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:33,239
Speaker 1: It depends on we're talking about election meddling stuff, were

808
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:38,839
Speaker 1: now the cyber attacks. But it's gonna be it's gonna

809
00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:42,000
Speaker 1: be tricky going forward because everything that we do, the

810
00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:45,239
Speaker 1: Russians have their own ways of responding to it, and

811
00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:48,440
Speaker 1: ultimately the sanctions that were put in place, and I'll

812
00:48:48,480 --> 00:48:51,440
Speaker 1: just say it, it's not gonna do it. Friends. It's

813
00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:53,839
Speaker 1: actually a few entities. Is a big country, all right.

814
00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:56,800
Speaker 1: I think us population in Russia thought I had a

815
00:48:56,920 --> 00:49:00,800
Speaker 1: hundred twenty million. How do you live in Russia? I

816
00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:03,480
Speaker 1: don't even know, Mike, let me know. Usually I know

817
00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:06,239
Speaker 1: populations pretty I'm pretty good with them. But I think

818
00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:09,960
Speaker 1: Russia is like a hundred twenty million. I'm guessing. Um,

819
00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:14,000
Speaker 1: it's interesting to familiarize yourself with country populations. Then you

820
00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:16,399
Speaker 1: have it is that what is it? You say? Under

821
00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:20,160
Speaker 1: a seventy million? Under seventy so it's huge. But actually

822
00:49:20,200 --> 00:49:22,360
Speaker 1: I was gonna say a hundred twenty million, No, alright

823
00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:24,360
Speaker 1: under seven he so I was a little off. I

824
00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:27,160
Speaker 1: think Thailand has seventy million. There's some countries that are surprising.

825
00:49:28,080 --> 00:49:30,800
Speaker 1: Pakistan is a hundred and twenty million, Nigeria has a

826
00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:32,640
Speaker 1: hundred and forty million, more like a hundred and fifty

827
00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:35,440
Speaker 1: or hundred sixty probably now. Actually there's some countries you'd

828
00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:38,400
Speaker 1: be like, whoa, we've got a lot of people. Um. Anyway,

829
00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:43,440
Speaker 1: back to Russia. Uh, we gotta watch ourselves here because

830
00:49:43,480 --> 00:49:46,600
Speaker 1: the media is really agitating for a very aggressive response

831
00:49:46,640 --> 00:49:50,080
Speaker 1: that the Trump administration has been responsible and how they

832
00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:54,880
Speaker 1: have reacted to these provacations. But let's let's keep our

833
00:49:55,160 --> 00:49:56,880
Speaker 1: you know, are I on the price here, which is

834
00:49:57,680 --> 00:49:59,360
Speaker 1: we just want things to be the best they possibly

835
00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:02,960
Speaker 1: can be for America, for our people. We don't want

836
00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:05,600
Speaker 1: to be brought into any foreign wars or conflicts, uh,

837
00:50:06,160 --> 00:50:08,440
Speaker 1: period full stop, and we really want to try to

838
00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:14,200
Speaker 1: avoid it. And we gotta have much greater concern about

839
00:50:14,239 --> 00:50:16,360
Speaker 1: what the future looks like with China than Russia. Russia,

840
00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:19,120
Speaker 1: we have there's enough cultural middle ground with us, and

841
00:50:19,960 --> 00:50:21,680
Speaker 1: just give it some time. It's still very early. The

842
00:50:21,719 --> 00:50:23,760
Speaker 1: Silvia Union wasn't that long ago. I think we're actually

843
00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:27,359
Speaker 1: moving right. Maybe not right now, but in general, if

844
00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:29,120
Speaker 1: you look at the last forty years or so, we're

845
00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:32,280
Speaker 1: moving in the right direction China. I think we're actually

846
00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:35,359
Speaker 1: seeing things. He's gonna get gonna get rough, gonna get tough.

847
00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:40,239
Speaker 1: I am barish on the future of what US China

848
00:50:40,320 --> 00:50:42,799
Speaker 1: relations are gonna look like going forward. By the way,

849
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:45,120
Speaker 1: we got Sean Davis joining us to talk about this

850
00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:48,960
Speaker 1: huge story about these Struck page texts that reveal a

851
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:52,880
Speaker 1: personal relationship between the between Struck and a judge. A

852
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:55,439
Speaker 1: judge woid to recuse himself from the case of General

853
00:50:55,480 --> 00:50:57,279
Speaker 1: Michael Flynn. Shawn is going to be joining us here

854
00:50:57,360 --> 00:50:59,600
Speaker 1: on the show in just a few minutes. He and

855
00:50:59,680 --> 00:51:02,080
Speaker 1: Molly having We broke that story on the Federalist dot

856
00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:05,720
Speaker 1: com and now it is all over the place except

857
00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:09,239
Speaker 1: on CNN. UM, what a surprise. They're not covering it.

858
00:51:09,520 --> 00:51:27,200
Speaker 1: Oh wow, what a shock. The President is going to

859
00:51:27,280 --> 00:51:30,600
Speaker 1: continue fighting for the American worker. He's also working with

860
00:51:30,719 --> 00:51:35,040
Speaker 1: a number of individual countries UH and negotiating on areas

861
00:51:35,120 --> 00:51:38,440
Speaker 1: of national security where we can work together. UH. And

862
00:51:38,520 --> 00:51:40,759
Speaker 1: there's some flexibility there, and we're continuing to have those

863
00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:44,000
Speaker 1: conversations and will continue through the next part of the

864
00:51:44,520 --> 00:51:46,320
Speaker 1: end of next week, which is when I believe the

865
00:51:46,400 --> 00:51:49,359
Speaker 1: deadline happens. You know, I've got all freaked out about

866
00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:52,360
Speaker 1: the tariff situation, and I saw my conservative friends in

867
00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:55,040
Speaker 1: the media, including a lot of a lot of those

868
00:51:55,120 --> 00:51:58,319
Speaker 1: that are are quite honestly brilliant, and uh, I really

869
00:51:59,080 --> 00:52:00,719
Speaker 1: like their work and like the people, and they were

870
00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:04,000
Speaker 1: just hammering Trump on the old tariff's thing. And I've

871
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:07,000
Speaker 1: been trying to give you just the the full picture.

872
00:52:07,040 --> 00:52:09,040
Speaker 1: I'm not saying I think tariffs are great. I'm not

873
00:52:09,120 --> 00:52:11,239
Speaker 1: saying I think tariffs are terrible. I'm saying, you know, okay,

874
00:52:11,320 --> 00:52:13,400
Speaker 1: I understand why people are opposed to them, and I

875
00:52:13,480 --> 00:52:16,520
Speaker 1: know what we we've talked about the econ one on

876
00:52:16,600 --> 00:52:19,799
Speaker 1: one aspect of it. But I saw very instinct piece

877
00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:23,400
Speaker 1: from Derek Scissors over to AI. We might have him

878
00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:26,360
Speaker 1: next week, hopefully we reach out to Derek where this

879
00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:28,960
Speaker 1: was exactly the kind of thinking that I was trying

880
00:52:28,960 --> 00:52:31,480
Speaker 1: to bring to this show, which is all right, everyone,

881
00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:34,880
Speaker 1: cool your jets, calm down a little bit, all right.

882
00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:36,360
Speaker 1: I'm not talking to you know. I'm saying this in

883
00:52:36,440 --> 00:52:39,280
Speaker 1: like the general you sense, not to my beloved audience.

884
00:52:39,760 --> 00:52:42,160
Speaker 1: But this whole notion that tariffs are gonna like destroy

885
00:52:42,200 --> 00:52:44,600
Speaker 1: the economy and a trade war and everything. The tariffs

886
00:52:44,640 --> 00:52:48,000
Speaker 1: that we're talking about are very small and on a

887
00:52:48,200 --> 00:52:51,520
Speaker 1: very small part of the economy. That's the shortened version

888
00:52:51,560 --> 00:52:53,920
Speaker 1: of this piece that Scissors wrote from me. Actually, I

889
00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:58,000
Speaker 1: think he's very smart. Scissors is very sharp on trade.

890
00:52:59,480 --> 00:53:04,560
Speaker 1: John choked. That's awesome. You you guys could see if

891
00:53:04,560 --> 00:53:06,560
Speaker 1: a John just like spat his coffee all over the

892
00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:08,840
Speaker 1: place is great. Yeah, that's right. That was a want

893
00:53:08,880 --> 00:53:12,680
Speaker 1: want from Buck, but I got John with it. Happy Friday, John,

894
00:53:14,120 --> 00:53:16,960
Speaker 1: make sure your caffeinate. Um. So anyway, they will have

895
00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:19,279
Speaker 1: Scissors on the That's like the highlight of my day.

896
00:53:19,320 --> 00:53:21,120
Speaker 1: But I got John to spit out his coffee there

897
00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:23,719
Speaker 1: with that. One earlier day, I had a want on

898
00:53:24,880 --> 00:53:27,759
Speaker 1: Outnumbered on Fox News. They're like, what do you think

899
00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:31,400
Speaker 1: of Lamb? And I was like, Lamb is a wolf

900
00:53:31,480 --> 00:53:34,160
Speaker 1: in Republican clothing. And they were like what. I'm like, Yeah,

901
00:53:34,239 --> 00:53:36,680
Speaker 1: that was a little stretched. That didn't really I mean,

902
00:53:36,719 --> 00:53:38,360
Speaker 1: it makes sense, but you gotta think about it too

903
00:53:38,440 --> 00:53:41,440
Speaker 1: long and then you're kind of just like, you know,

904
00:53:41,600 --> 00:53:45,640
Speaker 1: wolf in sheep's clothing, lamb Republican lamb pretending to you know,

905
00:53:46,200 --> 00:53:47,840
Speaker 1: you get it. I know you're like, Buck, move on,

906
00:53:47,960 --> 00:53:51,799
Speaker 1: I'm moving on. I'm moving on. Just a preview what's coming,

907
00:53:51,800 --> 00:53:53,560
Speaker 1: because we've got a lot here. I know, there's this

908
00:53:53,640 --> 00:53:57,120
Speaker 1: big story about the text messages between Struck and Page

909
00:53:57,280 --> 00:53:59,680
Speaker 1: about a judge on the FISA courts. You got FBI

910
00:53:59,840 --> 00:54:03,080
Speaker 1: d o J talking about some weird stuff involving a

911
00:54:03,160 --> 00:54:05,640
Speaker 1: fires a court judge involved with the Michael Flynn case.

912
00:54:06,040 --> 00:54:08,640
Speaker 1: Oh is this all a coincidence? I don't think. So

913
00:54:09,160 --> 00:54:10,880
Speaker 1: we've got Sean Davis joining us in just a few

914
00:54:10,920 --> 00:54:13,680
Speaker 1: minutes on that. We're also looking to see if McCabe

915
00:54:13,719 --> 00:54:17,200
Speaker 1: actually does get fired, which I still think is gonna happen,

916
00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:19,640
Speaker 1: but it might happen. What if it just happened with

917
00:54:19,680 --> 00:54:22,080
Speaker 1: a Trump tweet. What if he tweets out like right

918
00:54:22,080 --> 00:54:24,320
Speaker 1: before he has a burger and goes to bed like, McCabe,

919
00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:29,200
Speaker 1: you're fired. I mean I think no, he ca actually

920
00:54:29,239 --> 00:54:30,560
Speaker 1: can't do it, but you know, would be funny if

921
00:54:30,600 --> 00:54:35,120
Speaker 1: he did it. Anyway, So we're watching Thank you John,

922
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:39,480
Speaker 1: So we're watching, uh, see if that actually ends up happening.

923
00:54:39,560 --> 00:54:41,640
Speaker 1: And then I've got to Emily Snati joining with just

924
00:54:41,760 --> 00:54:46,400
Speaker 1: some fun uh banter, because that's what we do with Msnati,

925
00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:49,400
Speaker 1: which he's on, and we'll be joined also by a

926
00:54:49,440 --> 00:54:53,000
Speaker 1: federal from the Washington Free Beacon later on Mr Sonny Bunch.

927
00:54:53,880 --> 00:54:55,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna star Sonny Bunch. He'll be joining us talk

928
00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:58,680
Speaker 1: about Netflix and TV and then we'll have a phenomenal

929
00:54:59,600 --> 00:55:04,800
Speaker 1: roll call with some bagpipes Laddie. So basically, at this

930
00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:06,960
Speaker 1: point do you realize how awesome the show is going

931
00:55:07,040 --> 00:55:09,120
Speaker 1: to be until the end, So there's no reason if

932
00:55:09,120 --> 00:55:11,239
Speaker 1: you to do anything except finish it out. And oh yeah,

933
00:55:11,640 --> 00:55:26,239
Speaker 1: hall a friend about it. He's holding the line for

934
00:55:26,360 --> 00:55:34,759
Speaker 1: America buck sext in his back seg scoop today on

935
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:37,360
Speaker 1: The Federalist. You know it's one of our favorite sites.

936
00:55:37,680 --> 00:55:40,920
Speaker 1: It is the Federalist dot com. It's co founded by

937
00:55:41,400 --> 00:55:45,120
Speaker 1: Ben Dominic and Sean Davis. We have Sean Davis with

938
00:55:45,360 --> 00:55:48,040
Speaker 1: us now and he's going to talk to us about

939
00:55:48,120 --> 00:55:52,520
Speaker 1: this this this major story. Here's the headline. Peter Struck,

940
00:55:52,680 --> 00:55:55,200
Speaker 1: remember him, the FBI agent with the shady text messages,

941
00:55:55,680 --> 00:56:01,000
Speaker 1: had personal relationship with recused judge in the Michael Flynn case.

942
00:56:01,360 --> 00:56:05,399
Speaker 1: Sean great to have you back with us, great could

943
00:56:05,400 --> 00:56:06,960
Speaker 1: be here. Thank you for having me tell me a

944
00:56:07,040 --> 00:56:10,680
Speaker 1: bit about Well, actually, no walk us through because there's

945
00:56:10,719 --> 00:56:13,040
Speaker 1: some complexities here and there's a lot going on. But

946
00:56:13,120 --> 00:56:15,360
Speaker 1: this is a big story you guys have on the federalists.

947
00:56:15,440 --> 00:56:17,279
Speaker 1: Tell us what's going on, how it might have really

948
00:56:17,320 --> 00:56:22,239
Speaker 1: affected the Michael Flynn case. So, uh, my colleague Molly

949
00:56:22,320 --> 00:56:26,320
Speaker 1: Hemingway and I obtained a bunch of text messages between

950
00:56:26,600 --> 00:56:29,120
Speaker 1: Lisa Page and Peter Struck used to the former FBI

951
00:56:29,280 --> 00:56:32,520
Speaker 1: agents and attorneys who are extremely involved in both the

952
00:56:32,600 --> 00:56:37,080
Speaker 1: Clinton case, the dossier Carter Page case, and as it

953
00:56:37,160 --> 00:56:39,680
Speaker 1: turns out, maybe even the Flint case. And what we

954
00:56:39,760 --> 00:56:43,000
Speaker 1: saw in these text messages between them was the fact

955
00:56:43,160 --> 00:56:46,480
Speaker 1: that Peter Struck apparently had a personal friendship with Judge

956
00:56:46,520 --> 00:56:51,160
Speaker 1: Rudolph Contraras, who he and Lisa Page referred to as Rudy,

957
00:56:51,920 --> 00:56:55,400
Speaker 1: to the point that they even schemed over texts about

958
00:56:55,480 --> 00:56:59,239
Speaker 1: how they could get in contact and talk with him

959
00:56:59,760 --> 00:57:02,960
Speaker 1: at her he was appointed a vice federal surveillance of

960
00:57:03,040 --> 00:57:06,080
Speaker 1: court judge, and how they could privately get together with

961
00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:10,200
Speaker 1: him in ways that wouldn't trigger a required recusal of

962
00:57:10,320 --> 00:57:13,560
Speaker 1: him from various cases. At one point. They even suggested

963
00:57:13,600 --> 00:57:16,880
Speaker 1: a cocktail party that they would invite him to where

964
00:57:16,880 --> 00:57:19,120
Speaker 1: they could talk to him and that would be much

965
00:57:19,200 --> 00:57:22,320
Speaker 1: better than at one on one conversation. They even used

966
00:57:22,400 --> 00:57:25,640
Speaker 1: the phrase, we have to have cover for these meetings.

967
00:57:25,920 --> 00:57:28,760
Speaker 1: So it's a it's a pretty big blockbuster, especially since

968
00:57:28,880 --> 00:57:33,200
Speaker 1: this judge is the one who accepted Mike Flynn, former

969
00:57:33,240 --> 00:57:37,160
Speaker 1: Trump National Security advisors guilty plea and then was removed

970
00:57:37,240 --> 00:57:40,280
Speaker 1: from the case just days after that. So there are

971
00:57:40,480 --> 00:57:43,680
Speaker 1: all kinds of questions about whether that case was properly handled.

972
00:57:44,120 --> 00:57:45,760
Speaker 1: You know, it was Peter Strock who was one of

973
00:57:45,840 --> 00:57:48,240
Speaker 1: the agents who interviewed one at the White House in

974
00:57:48,480 --> 00:57:53,000
Speaker 1: January seventeen, So this, this blockbuster bombshell, raises a whole

975
00:57:53,080 --> 00:57:56,480
Speaker 1: bunch of questions about what was going on with that case. Sean, Usually,

976
00:57:56,560 --> 00:57:59,000
Speaker 1: when when one of these stories breaks, the first thought

977
00:57:59,040 --> 00:58:02,440
Speaker 1: that goes through my mom mind is what they're going

978
00:58:02,560 --> 00:58:05,040
Speaker 1: to say to try to counteract the momentum here, what

979
00:58:05,040 --> 00:58:07,320
Speaker 1: they're going to say to explain this away, what the

980
00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:11,200
Speaker 1: excuse will be based on. And we're you know, we're

981
00:58:11,200 --> 00:58:13,680
Speaker 1: talking to the guy. Folks Shawn and Molly Hemingway over

982
00:58:13,840 --> 00:58:15,760
Speaker 1: the federalists are the ones who have access to these

983
00:58:15,800 --> 00:58:18,640
Speaker 1: text messages. Based on what's in those texts, Can you

984
00:58:18,760 --> 00:58:21,960
Speaker 1: even conjure up why an FBI agent would be saying

985
00:58:22,080 --> 00:58:25,360
Speaker 1: to his paramour, who's a d o J lawyer, we

986
00:58:25,480 --> 00:58:28,200
Speaker 1: need cover for a meeting. If it's just an innocent

987
00:58:28,520 --> 00:58:33,640
Speaker 1: beer among government employees, why would anyone talk that way? Well,

988
00:58:33,880 --> 00:58:36,200
Speaker 1: it's interesting we ask ourselves the same questions, you know,

989
00:58:36,320 --> 00:58:39,120
Speaker 1: what are the innocent explanations for this? But the thing

990
00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:42,160
Speaker 1: that we found most disturbing, in addition to the actual

991
00:58:42,200 --> 00:58:45,480
Speaker 1: substance of the messages, that to exchange with the Department

992
00:58:45,520 --> 00:58:48,400
Speaker 1: of Justice to actually withheld this from Congress. In the

993
00:58:48,520 --> 00:58:52,000
Speaker 1: records that they had provided the Congress of these text messages,

994
00:58:52,560 --> 00:58:57,520
Speaker 1: d o J redacted every single mention in conversation about this.

995
00:58:57,800 --> 00:58:59,840
Speaker 1: Despis a judge who ended up presiding over the flee

996
00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:04,760
Speaker 1: as was recused, So that right there communicates UH with

997
00:59:04,920 --> 00:59:08,040
Speaker 1: the fancy lawyers. Look called men's rea a guilty mind.

998
00:59:08,720 --> 00:59:11,240
Speaker 1: And it's like I said earlier, it raises a whole

999
00:59:11,240 --> 00:59:13,320
Speaker 1: bunch of questions. Why were they hiding that from Congress?

1000
00:59:13,360 --> 00:59:16,320
Speaker 1: If there's if there's no there there, then there would

1001
00:59:16,320 --> 00:59:18,040
Speaker 1: be no reason for them to hide it, and yet

1002
00:59:18,200 --> 00:59:20,880
Speaker 1: hide it they did. Um. But because we were able

1003
00:59:20,920 --> 00:59:24,000
Speaker 1: to obtain these texts where those redactions were not included,

1004
00:59:24,320 --> 00:59:25,960
Speaker 1: we were able to get a full picture of what

1005
00:59:26,120 --> 00:59:28,240
Speaker 1: was going on there. And it doesn't look good when

1006
00:59:28,280 --> 00:59:30,640
Speaker 1: you have two FBI agents who have already been involved

1007
00:59:30,720 --> 00:59:33,640
Speaker 1: in uh, you know, who knows how many shenanigans over there.

1008
00:59:33,960 --> 00:59:36,800
Speaker 1: When you have them conspiring to clude with this judge

1009
00:59:36,960 --> 00:59:40,440
Speaker 1: in secret, scheming ways to to have cover to have

1010
00:59:40,560 --> 00:59:45,080
Speaker 1: these conversations, it, from my viewpoint, it all but screams

1011
00:59:45,120 --> 00:59:47,040
Speaker 1: that you have to have a special prosecutor here to

1012
00:59:47,160 --> 00:59:49,720
Speaker 1: this agency clearly cannot be trusted to police itself. Was

1013
00:59:49,760 --> 00:59:52,440
Speaker 1: being a Shawn Davis. He's the co founder of the Federalist.

1014
00:59:52,880 --> 00:59:55,040
Speaker 1: He is co author of a piece that's up right now.

1015
00:59:55,160 --> 00:59:56,800
Speaker 1: It is the Main Store and the Federalists, and it

1016
00:59:56,920 --> 00:59:59,400
Speaker 1: is getting a lot of attention, as it should. Peter

1017
00:59:59,600 --> 01:00:05,880
Speaker 1: Struck had personal relationship with recused judge in Michael Flynn case. Sean,

1018
01:00:06,080 --> 01:00:08,960
Speaker 1: at this point, you know, you mentioned the idea of

1019
01:00:09,000 --> 01:00:11,640
Speaker 1: a special prosecutor from the d J. I've got kind

1020
01:00:11,640 --> 01:00:14,960
Speaker 1: of a twofold statement slash question for you. One is

1021
01:00:15,040 --> 01:00:17,320
Speaker 1: that it feels to me, like, if there's ever a

1022
01:00:17,400 --> 01:00:20,400
Speaker 1: place where we need a special prosecutor, it would be

1023
01:00:20,680 --> 01:00:23,400
Speaker 1: to look at conduct within the d o J that

1024
01:00:23,560 --> 01:00:26,760
Speaker 1: is highly shady, considering the d o J is usually

1025
01:00:26,880 --> 01:00:30,360
Speaker 1: the additional layer of you know, anti corruption overwatch we

1026
01:00:30,440 --> 01:00:32,440
Speaker 1: have over the rest of the federal government. Right so

1027
01:00:32,560 --> 01:00:35,560
Speaker 1: to me, it seems like the special counsels particularly needed

1028
01:00:35,640 --> 01:00:39,360
Speaker 1: here for this kind of situation. And then also the

1029
01:00:39,560 --> 01:00:42,640
Speaker 1: Michael Flynn guilty plea is looking more and more like

1030
01:00:42,760 --> 01:00:45,960
Speaker 1: a Ted Stevens redux. Like this guy, I'm not sure

1031
01:00:46,080 --> 01:00:49,440
Speaker 1: how exactly it happened, but there's plenty of evidence pointing

1032
01:00:49,520 --> 01:00:54,680
Speaker 1: toward Flynn gott sandbags somehow here. Well, it's so fascinating

1033
01:00:54,760 --> 01:00:57,200
Speaker 1: that you bring up Ted Stevens because the judge who

1034
01:00:57,320 --> 01:01:00,280
Speaker 1: is assigned to this case after a contrarist was moved

1035
01:01:00,320 --> 01:01:02,840
Speaker 1: from it is the same judge who took over the

1036
01:01:02,920 --> 01:01:07,560
Speaker 1: Steven's case, Tim At Sullivan. Yeah, images, oh, he's the man.

1037
01:01:07,720 --> 01:01:10,760
Speaker 1: I love Sullivan, go ahead, yeah, And Sullivan does not

1038
01:01:10,960 --> 01:01:13,400
Speaker 1: mess around. He did not mess around in the Steven's

1039
01:01:13,480 --> 01:01:17,160
Speaker 1: case where there was just massive prosecutorial misconduct, stuff that

1040
01:01:17,240 --> 01:01:19,320
Speaker 1: was never disclosed to the defense that should have been

1041
01:01:19,800 --> 01:01:22,720
Speaker 1: and he has already issued a pretty remarkable order to

1042
01:01:22,840 --> 01:01:26,240
Speaker 1: Mueller's prosecution team that they had better turn over to

1043
01:01:26,520 --> 01:01:30,480
Speaker 1: him the judge, all material exculpatory evidence that they have

1044
01:01:30,600 --> 01:01:33,600
Speaker 1: in their possession that they had at any time, including

1045
01:01:33,720 --> 01:01:36,560
Speaker 1: during their plea negotiations. And he notes in a footnotes

1046
01:01:36,600 --> 01:01:39,000
Speaker 1: that a number of federal courts have held that withholding

1047
01:01:39,080 --> 01:01:42,960
Speaker 1: that information from a defendant, even during a plean negotiation,

1048
01:01:43,120 --> 01:01:45,680
Speaker 1: you know it hasn't gotten a trial is a miscarriage

1049
01:01:45,720 --> 01:01:49,360
Speaker 1: of justice that would uh raise the Supreme courts ire.

1050
01:01:49,680 --> 01:01:53,080
Speaker 1: So Sullivan isn't messing around the whole thing with Flynn

1051
01:01:53,120 --> 01:01:56,160
Speaker 1: looks fishy, especially with computer. Struck was apparently the one

1052
01:01:56,200 --> 01:01:59,720
Speaker 1: who who wrote up the notes of the interview with Flynn. Um,

1053
01:02:00,400 --> 01:02:02,880
Speaker 1: you know, Flynn may be guilty. I don't know, Um

1054
01:02:03,120 --> 01:02:05,240
Speaker 1: that you know, he knows and the Lord knows. But

1055
01:02:05,520 --> 01:02:07,880
Speaker 1: what I care about is as an actual fair process

1056
01:02:08,120 --> 01:02:10,600
Speaker 1: ording the constitution playing out here, and I'm beginning to

1057
01:02:10,680 --> 01:02:13,280
Speaker 1: wonder if that was actually given to him. I think

1058
01:02:13,320 --> 01:02:15,800
Speaker 1: it's also important for everyone to hear that the judge

1059
01:02:15,880 --> 01:02:19,480
Speaker 1: that we're talking about, that Peter Struck was talking to

1060
01:02:19,880 --> 01:02:23,360
Speaker 1: his uh paramore. I can't think of a better word lady.

1061
01:02:23,400 --> 01:02:25,600
Speaker 1: He was having a you know, a side thing going

1062
01:02:25,680 --> 01:02:29,920
Speaker 1: on with um Lisa Page. Judge Rudolph Contreras was on

1063
01:02:30,040 --> 01:02:32,880
Speaker 1: the physichord, and that comes across in there in the

1064
01:02:32,960 --> 01:02:36,680
Speaker 1: text messages between Page and Struck. It's like, oh, wow,

1065
01:02:36,880 --> 01:02:41,560
Speaker 1: Rudy's on the physi cord. Now, isn't that important? Slash interesting?

1066
01:02:43,200 --> 01:02:46,360
Speaker 1: Oh it's It's fascinating, especially since it was that fights

1067
01:02:46,400 --> 01:02:52,120
Speaker 1: the court which in October issued a warrant to surveile

1068
01:02:52,480 --> 01:02:54,920
Speaker 1: Carter Page, an American citizen who hadn't have been accused

1069
01:02:54,960 --> 01:02:58,760
Speaker 1: of any wrongdoing, to spy on him, based largely on

1070
01:02:59,000 --> 01:03:02,000
Speaker 1: claims in a dacier which no one has verified at

1071
01:03:02,040 --> 01:03:05,800
Speaker 1: this point, put together by a foreign asset who is

1072
01:03:05,800 --> 01:03:08,400
Speaker 1: paid by the Hillary Clinton campaign. So, I mean, that

1073
01:03:08,520 --> 01:03:11,000
Speaker 1: whole thing stunk to high heaven already, and now you

1074
01:03:11,160 --> 01:03:13,720
Speaker 1: throw in the fact that these two FBI agents who

1075
01:03:13,720 --> 01:03:16,640
Speaker 1: are knee deep and all this nonsense, we're also conspiring

1076
01:03:16,680 --> 01:03:18,680
Speaker 1: to collude with the judge on that court at the

1077
01:03:18,720 --> 01:03:21,400
Speaker 1: same time. I just don't know how you can with

1078
01:03:21,520 --> 01:03:23,840
Speaker 1: a straight face say that we don't need a special

1079
01:03:24,040 --> 01:03:26,120
Speaker 1: prosecutor to unwind all this and figure out what the

1080
01:03:26,120 --> 01:03:29,120
Speaker 1: heck was going on speaking about not with a straight face.

1081
01:03:29,240 --> 01:03:31,120
Speaker 1: I spoke earlier today to a friend of mine it

1082
01:03:31,240 --> 01:03:34,280
Speaker 1: used to be in the intelligence community, and and she

1083
01:03:35,080 --> 01:03:36,960
Speaker 1: we had a little bit of back and forth because

1084
01:03:37,480 --> 01:03:41,360
Speaker 1: I was like, you know, this carter Page situation, the guy,

1085
01:03:41,560 --> 01:03:43,200
Speaker 1: and I don't mean to put him down, but he

1086
01:03:43,320 --> 01:03:46,560
Speaker 1: seems so clownish, and there have been no charges against him,

1087
01:03:46,800 --> 01:03:49,120
Speaker 1: and he seems to me to be the wrong the

1088
01:03:49,200 --> 01:03:53,960
Speaker 1: aggrieved and wronged party here. Yet the entire Democrat justification

1089
01:03:54,560 --> 01:04:00,640
Speaker 1: for utilizing the most impressive, intrusive and there for frightening

1090
01:04:00,680 --> 01:04:05,880
Speaker 1: surveillance apparatus on the planet against a presidential campaign is

1091
01:04:06,040 --> 01:04:09,520
Speaker 1: Carter Page, who still do this day? I'm like, what

1092
01:04:09,760 --> 01:04:11,959
Speaker 1: were the what do they find about carter Page? Shawan?

1093
01:04:12,160 --> 01:04:14,520
Speaker 1: To me, it just seems like we've gone beyond the

1094
01:04:14,640 --> 01:04:17,560
Speaker 1: realm of this is a serious This is a serious

1095
01:04:17,600 --> 01:04:20,960
Speaker 1: position for them to hold. That's somehow carter Page justified

1096
01:04:21,040 --> 01:04:25,720
Speaker 1: all this stuff. No, it's crazy, like Paul Manafford, Fine,

1097
01:04:25,920 --> 01:04:28,120
Speaker 1: I get it, Rick Gates, I get it. But yet

1098
01:04:28,160 --> 01:04:30,520
Speaker 1: those aren't the guys they spied on. It was carter Page,

1099
01:04:30,880 --> 01:04:32,960
Speaker 1: who I don't know, the guy. I've never spoken to him.

1100
01:04:33,200 --> 01:04:36,040
Speaker 1: He he seems kind of a loon, but he's totally

1101
01:04:36,120 --> 01:04:38,320
Speaker 1: upfront with his policy views. He's like, yeah, I think

1102
01:04:38,360 --> 01:04:40,720
Speaker 1: the U. S Should change with false and Russia. The

1103
01:04:40,880 --> 01:04:44,720
Speaker 1: speech he gay, which apparently UH necessitated him being spied on,

1104
01:04:45,200 --> 01:04:47,480
Speaker 1: was it a venue in an event where Obama had

1105
01:04:47,520 --> 01:04:50,480
Speaker 1: spoken the year previously and it was all public online.

1106
01:04:50,800 --> 01:04:52,480
Speaker 1: The idea that they had to spy on this guy

1107
01:04:52,560 --> 01:04:54,440
Speaker 1: to figure out what he thought, or that he had

1108
01:04:54,520 --> 01:04:57,640
Speaker 1: somehow been offered a multibillion dollar steak and a Russian

1109
01:04:57,760 --> 01:05:01,000
Speaker 1: energy company. You'd have to be any tunes to actually

1110
01:05:01,040 --> 01:05:04,160
Speaker 1: buy into that, and yet that's what our federal surveillance

1111
01:05:04,160 --> 01:05:08,240
Speaker 1: apparatus ostensibly bought into. I also refuse to believe this

1112
01:05:08,560 --> 01:05:11,800
Speaker 1: this justification for all the things we're talking about that well,

1113
01:05:11,920 --> 01:05:15,280
Speaker 1: there's more on Page. We just don't know if at

1114
01:05:15,360 --> 01:05:17,800
Speaker 1: this stage of the game, with everything that has leaked,

1115
01:05:17,840 --> 01:05:21,120
Speaker 1: with everything that has been released officially as well, if

1116
01:05:21,160 --> 01:05:24,560
Speaker 1: there was something we'd say, oh wow, Carter Page actually

1117
01:05:24,680 --> 01:05:26,920
Speaker 1: was into some stuff that really did warrant this kind

1118
01:05:26,960 --> 01:05:29,919
Speaker 1: of attention. I am a d percent sure we would

1119
01:05:29,960 --> 01:05:32,920
Speaker 1: know about that at this point. Oh yeah, I mean

1120
01:05:33,040 --> 01:05:36,640
Speaker 1: that that that whole UH surveillance deep state law en

1121
01:05:36,680 --> 01:05:39,280
Speaker 1: worcement deep State. They leaked like a sieve. Yeah, and

1122
01:05:39,600 --> 01:05:42,200
Speaker 1: I think you're right. If if there were anything to

1123
01:05:42,360 --> 01:05:44,800
Speaker 1: his background that they could have used to their advantage

1124
01:05:44,840 --> 01:05:47,360
Speaker 1: to defend their actions, we would have heard about it

1125
01:05:47,440 --> 01:05:50,520
Speaker 1: on CNN long ago. And just one more thing, Sean

1126
01:05:50,600 --> 01:05:52,560
Speaker 1: and everyone should go read this piece and the Federalists

1127
01:05:52,560 --> 01:05:54,280
Speaker 1: and we'll link to it on on buck sex and

1128
01:05:54,360 --> 01:05:57,160
Speaker 1: dot com. Uh. Do you think we're gonna get some

1129
01:05:57,240 --> 01:06:00,439
Speaker 1: answers here about Judge Contraris and his relationship? It's struck.

1130
01:06:00,560 --> 01:06:02,440
Speaker 1: Is there a process that you can see in place

1131
01:06:02,560 --> 01:06:04,600
Speaker 1: right now that may get us what we need here?

1132
01:06:05,960 --> 01:06:08,560
Speaker 1: I don't know that the judiciary for very good reason.

1133
01:06:08,640 --> 01:06:12,720
Speaker 1: It's generally kind of resistant to any sort of external pressure. Um.

1134
01:06:12,920 --> 01:06:16,000
Speaker 1: And especially in his recusal with Twinn that wasn't related

1135
01:06:16,040 --> 01:06:17,840
Speaker 1: to his fice the duties where you have these fice

1136
01:06:17,880 --> 01:06:21,840
Speaker 1: the courts set up explicitly by Congress to help them

1137
01:06:21,840 --> 01:06:25,520
Speaker 1: provide oversight. Um. I'll be interested to see how the

1138
01:06:25,600 --> 01:06:29,400
Speaker 1: judiciary responds. I honestly doubt that they're gonna respond much

1139
01:06:29,520 --> 01:06:32,440
Speaker 1: at all. But it calls into question the integrity of

1140
01:06:32,560 --> 01:06:35,840
Speaker 1: the court and the decision making process. They have their Um, so,

1141
01:06:36,000 --> 01:06:37,600
Speaker 1: I think for their own good and for their own

1142
01:06:37,640 --> 01:06:40,240
Speaker 1: benefits from the integrity of their system, they should come

1143
01:06:40,320 --> 01:06:42,480
Speaker 1: forward and actually be honest about the reasons why he

1144
01:06:42,640 --> 01:06:45,080
Speaker 1: was refused. Um. Whether that will happen, I think is

1145
01:06:45,120 --> 01:06:48,200
Speaker 1: anyone's guest real quick. Sean St. Patrick's day plans are

1146
01:06:48,360 --> 01:06:53,800
Speaker 1: what in the Davis household? Oh gosh, I don't know it.

1147
01:06:53,880 --> 01:06:55,680
Speaker 1: We'll take it. We'll take it, you know. I mean,

1148
01:06:55,720 --> 01:06:57,440
Speaker 1: if you're not dancing around dressed like a leprech con,

1149
01:06:57,600 --> 01:06:59,400
Speaker 1: that's fine, Sean. We're not gonna be doing that here either.

1150
01:06:59,480 --> 01:07:02,240
Speaker 1: But you know, saw people get very festive, Sean Davis.

1151
01:07:02,320 --> 01:07:04,600
Speaker 1: Everybody got a young family man. We're not gonna be

1152
01:07:04,640 --> 01:07:07,680
Speaker 1: doing anything festive. Fair enough. You got to catch up

1153
01:07:07,680 --> 01:07:10,280
Speaker 1: on some sleep. The Federalist dot com is the site,

1154
01:07:10,360 --> 01:07:13,520
Speaker 1: Sean Davis, Molly Hemingway. They are the authors. Check it out. Sean,

1155
01:07:13,560 --> 01:07:16,400
Speaker 1: thank you so much for making the time. Thank you buck.

1156
01:07:16,920 --> 01:07:20,240
Speaker 1: Today we're gonna be rolling into ah our three coming

1157
01:07:20,360 --> 01:07:23,720
Speaker 1: up here in just a few minutes. So that's where

1158
01:07:23,720 --> 01:07:27,720
Speaker 1: things are gonna get spicy. Or St. Patrick's Day is

1159
01:07:27,800 --> 01:07:30,400
Speaker 1: going to be more of a theme, I think because

1160
01:07:30,400 --> 01:07:32,919
Speaker 1: it is a freestyle stay with me, We'll be right back.

1161
01:07:47,840 --> 01:07:50,600
Speaker 1: I knew this would happen, folks. I knew it was

1162
01:07:50,720 --> 01:07:53,400
Speaker 1: just a matter of time as soon as you saw

1163
01:07:54,480 --> 01:07:58,400
Speaker 1: some of the dating apps, because now that's really that's

1164
01:07:58,440 --> 01:08:00,600
Speaker 1: where they got the pulse of our culture is the

1165
01:08:00,680 --> 01:08:02,560
Speaker 1: dating apps, right, that's lets you know what's going on

1166
01:08:02,760 --> 01:08:05,120
Speaker 1: with the kids, with the cool people. You know, when

1167
01:08:05,120 --> 01:08:06,680
Speaker 1: I say the kids, I mean people in their twenties,

1168
01:08:06,720 --> 01:08:08,800
Speaker 1: because now I'm in my thirties and it feels like

1169
01:08:09,640 --> 01:08:12,040
Speaker 1: it feels like it's just all a passively behind that dude.

1170
01:08:12,080 --> 01:08:14,560
Speaker 1: You know, my back hurts, my elbows hurt, everything hurts,

1171
01:08:14,880 --> 01:08:17,680
Speaker 1: thirty six sore all over the place. I don't even

1172
01:08:17,720 --> 01:08:19,639
Speaker 1: do anything. You know, some people actually have an excuse.

1173
01:08:20,120 --> 01:08:24,559
Speaker 1: But anyway, the dating apps they banned people from, as

1174
01:08:24,600 --> 01:08:26,080
Speaker 1: I said, a few of the dating apps, not all

1175
01:08:26,080 --> 01:08:28,320
Speaker 1: of them. And I'm sure there's like you know, duck

1176
01:08:28,439 --> 01:08:31,400
Speaker 1: hunters need Love dot Com. I'm sure there's other dating

1177
01:08:31,439 --> 01:08:33,559
Speaker 1: sites where this is not a problem. But some of them,

1178
01:08:33,600 --> 01:08:36,960
Speaker 1: if you have any kind of a firearm, you are

1179
01:08:37,439 --> 01:08:40,000
Speaker 1: you're banned, right or they shut down your account, whatever

1180
01:08:40,000 --> 01:08:43,680
Speaker 1: it is. They take disciplinary action, with the exception of

1181
01:08:43,920 --> 01:08:46,680
Speaker 1: people who are law enforcement or military. Thankfully they're not

1182
01:08:46,920 --> 01:08:50,160
Speaker 1: that dumb. But as I said, what about hunters, you

1183
01:08:50,240 --> 01:08:52,000
Speaker 1: know people that want, Hey, you know, I'd like to go.

1184
01:08:52,160 --> 01:08:55,719
Speaker 1: I'd like to go shoot some birds, maybe my future

1185
01:08:55,800 --> 01:08:59,720
Speaker 1: lady love or future um Man love, if you're the

1186
01:08:59,800 --> 01:09:04,200
Speaker 1: lady that's, or or any combination thereof. Uh want somebody

1187
01:09:04,280 --> 01:09:07,160
Speaker 1: that will go, you know, go duck hunting to or

1188
01:09:07,280 --> 01:09:10,280
Speaker 1: go perhaps shoot some grouse with the twenty gauge if

1189
01:09:10,320 --> 01:09:12,479
Speaker 1: one has the aim and accuracy for such a thing.

1190
01:09:13,160 --> 01:09:19,040
Speaker 1: And sure enough, the anti gun photo fervor has already

1191
01:09:19,720 --> 01:09:23,000
Speaker 1: spread to the point of absurdity. This is from n

1192
01:09:23,080 --> 01:09:26,080
Speaker 1: J dot Com New Jersey dot Com. What's up, Jersey

1193
01:09:26,320 --> 01:09:29,040
Speaker 1: in the house. I feel like you guys should know

1194
01:09:29,240 --> 01:09:31,879
Speaker 1: you're all welcome here for our St. Patrick's Day festival

1195
01:09:31,920 --> 01:09:34,200
Speaker 1: in New York City because ours is way more awesome

1196
01:09:34,240 --> 01:09:36,240
Speaker 1: than anything in New Jersey. But we love you New Jersey.

1197
01:09:36,400 --> 01:09:38,080
Speaker 1: We love you. You're like our cousin that we invite

1198
01:09:38,120 --> 01:09:40,120
Speaker 1: over on the holidays, and this is one of them

1199
01:09:40,320 --> 01:09:42,599
Speaker 1: to come to New York and come party with us.

1200
01:09:43,479 --> 01:09:45,439
Speaker 1: All right, here's what New Jersey dot Com says. Though

1201
01:09:45,640 --> 01:09:49,639
Speaker 1: a New Jersey school district that allegedly suspended to high

1202
01:09:49,680 --> 01:09:53,240
Speaker 1: school students this week over a gun photo taken during

1203
01:09:53,560 --> 01:09:57,200
Speaker 1: during a family visit to a private shooting range. Is

1204
01:09:57,280 --> 01:10:00,439
Speaker 1: facing community backlash and the threat of a law lawsuit

1205
01:10:00,840 --> 01:10:05,439
Speaker 1: over district policies. The photo of four rifles, ammunition clips,

1206
01:10:05,520 --> 01:10:07,760
Speaker 1: and a gun duffel bag was shared by one of

1207
01:10:07,840 --> 01:10:11,360
Speaker 1: the students on the social media app Snapchat with the

1208
01:10:11,479 --> 01:10:15,960
Speaker 1: caption fun day at the Range. A screen capture of

1209
01:10:16,080 --> 01:10:19,320
Speaker 1: the image made the rounds among other students and later

1210
01:10:19,439 --> 01:10:22,479
Speaker 1: brought to the attention of Lazy Township High School officials.

1211
01:10:23,200 --> 01:10:28,280
Speaker 1: Students received a five day in school suspension for violating

1212
01:10:28,320 --> 01:10:31,720
Speaker 1: the school's policy on weapons possession. You know, I have

1213
01:10:32,200 --> 01:10:36,120
Speaker 1: adorable photos of me when I'm like twelve years old

1214
01:10:36,200 --> 01:10:39,840
Speaker 1: with my brothers and my dad and we're out at

1215
01:10:39,920 --> 01:10:42,120
Speaker 1: the range. I think actually in that photo, I think

1216
01:10:42,280 --> 01:10:45,680
Speaker 1: we might have been gosh, I think it was. I

1217
01:10:45,760 --> 01:10:49,000
Speaker 1: think it was an Idaho. But we're out of a range,

1218
01:10:49,840 --> 01:10:52,479
Speaker 1: and you know, we're firing at twenty two. We're not maniacs,

1219
01:10:52,520 --> 01:10:54,240
Speaker 1: you know. We we don't have twelve year olds fireing

1220
01:10:54,280 --> 01:10:56,320
Speaker 1: Bazukas or something. You know. It's but we got a

1221
01:10:56,360 --> 01:10:59,320
Speaker 1: twenty two. It's a little bolt action. What's the big

1222
01:10:59,400 --> 01:11:02,640
Speaker 1: deal and it's nice time spend with the families, all

1223
01:11:02,680 --> 01:11:07,120
Speaker 1: of you know. But these policies now have become bonkers

1224
01:11:07,200 --> 01:11:10,559
Speaker 1: because everyone has allowed themselves to get so emotionally wrapped

1225
01:11:10,640 --> 01:11:15,080
Speaker 1: up in this moment. They're forgetting that one. There's about

1226
01:11:15,160 --> 01:11:18,040
Speaker 1: sixty million gun owners in the country who are perfectly

1227
01:11:18,120 --> 01:11:21,679
Speaker 1: law abiding, patriotic. Not only are they okay as neighbors,

1228
01:11:21,960 --> 01:11:25,719
Speaker 1: you want them as your neighbors. They make the neighborhood safer,

1229
01:11:25,880 --> 01:11:29,200
Speaker 1: and they make the country in the event of tyranny freer.

1230
01:11:29,320 --> 01:11:32,920
Speaker 1: I know the liberals snicker at that, but it's just true. Uh,

1231
01:11:33,640 --> 01:11:37,479
Speaker 1: that's something that we need to remind the country, if

1232
01:11:37,520 --> 01:11:39,280
Speaker 1: I think right now, because when you get kids that

1233
01:11:39,280 --> 01:11:42,240
Speaker 1: are getting suspended for being at the range with parental supervision,

1234
01:11:42,760 --> 01:11:45,679
Speaker 1: there's no way that the teachers didn't know that that's

1235
01:11:45,720 --> 01:11:49,040
Speaker 1: what's going on. But the sure enough the policies in

1236
01:11:49,160 --> 01:11:52,840
Speaker 1: place and how people are getting getting in trouble because

1237
01:11:52,920 --> 01:11:56,559
Speaker 1: they went to arrange. You have a school district policy now,

1238
01:11:56,640 --> 01:11:58,759
Speaker 1: and this is I'm sure not just in New Jersey.

1239
01:11:59,200 --> 01:12:03,439
Speaker 1: You have a school this policy that is punishing kids

1240
01:12:04,080 --> 01:12:09,120
Speaker 1: for completely legal, legitimate and you would even say family

1241
01:12:09,280 --> 01:12:14,360
Speaker 1: bonding behavior. You know what's next? You know, are are

1242
01:12:14,439 --> 01:12:18,400
Speaker 1: they gonna start suspending kids that go horseback riding because

1243
01:12:18,479 --> 01:12:21,720
Speaker 1: it's horse slavery? And Pete is gonna get upset. I mean,

1244
01:12:21,840 --> 01:12:25,880
Speaker 1: this is just out of control. I knew this would happen.

1245
01:12:26,760 --> 01:12:28,880
Speaker 1: So the school district is gonna get sued, and it

1246
01:12:28,960 --> 01:12:31,599
Speaker 1: should get sued. Needs to get rid of this policy.

1247
01:12:31,640 --> 01:12:33,920
Speaker 1: There needs to be some sanity here. Yeah, okay, you

1248
01:12:33,960 --> 01:12:37,519
Speaker 1: don't want kids that are posting threats or threatening photos.

1249
01:12:37,960 --> 01:12:39,800
Speaker 1: But a day at the range with your with your

1250
01:12:39,840 --> 01:12:44,520
Speaker 1: siblings and your parents, that's not threatening. That's like America,

1251
01:12:45,360 --> 01:12:59,200
Speaker 1: New Jersey. Get with it. We'll be right back. He's

1252
01:12:59,280 --> 01:13:01,600
Speaker 1: back when you out, because when it comes to the

1253
01:13:01,720 --> 01:13:06,639
Speaker 1: fight for truth, the fuck never stops. Well, the fun

1254
01:13:06,800 --> 01:13:09,360
Speaker 1: is about to come to a dead end. Who is

1255
01:13:09,400 --> 01:13:13,080
Speaker 1: the competition next? KGB guy top mother gotta left on

1256
01:13:13,120 --> 01:13:18,639
Speaker 1: his right leg named Satovski Valentine Dmitrovichakowski here you know him.

1257
01:13:19,640 --> 01:13:22,680
Speaker 1: I gave him a lynch. Hey, father, I ask him,

1258
01:13:26,720 --> 01:13:29,280
Speaker 1: if I risk my neck for you when I got

1259
01:13:29,320 --> 01:13:31,920
Speaker 1: a chance to kill englishman? Is your father a ghost?

1260
01:13:32,720 --> 01:13:34,800
Speaker 1: Do you converse with the Old Mighty in order to

1261
01:13:34,880 --> 01:13:44,400
Speaker 1: find his equal. An irishman is forced to talk to God. Yes, Father, everything, Okay,

1262
01:13:44,880 --> 01:13:55,800
Speaker 1: I didn't want my God. You got to come by no.

1263
01:13:58,760 --> 01:14:01,320
Speaker 1: Welcome to our three of the buck Sexton Show, everybody.

1264
01:14:01,680 --> 01:14:04,479
Speaker 1: That was our little St Patrick's Day montage for all

1265
01:14:04,560 --> 01:14:06,880
Speaker 1: of you. Something I was thinking about today. We were

1266
01:14:06,920 --> 01:14:09,920
Speaker 1: trying to pull some things together. And by the way,

1267
01:14:09,960 --> 01:14:11,880
Speaker 1: extra points if anything, you can figure out what all

1268
01:14:12,120 --> 01:14:16,760
Speaker 1: three of those movies were. All three are well now

1269
01:14:17,439 --> 01:14:24,200
Speaker 1: two were playing, two are Irish actors, um one is

1270
01:14:24,600 --> 01:14:26,679
Speaker 1: a don't know, I'm not even getting this right. Actually,

1271
01:14:27,080 --> 01:14:29,479
Speaker 1: well there too. They're supposed to be Irish in the movie,

1272
01:14:29,560 --> 01:14:32,680
Speaker 1: and the third is obviously Scottish, and then you have

1273
01:14:33,640 --> 01:14:36,840
Speaker 1: uh whatever, you get the idea. The point is I

1274
01:14:38,680 --> 01:14:42,280
Speaker 1: I was thinking about the best action movie quotes and

1275
01:14:42,400 --> 01:14:47,280
Speaker 1: the best stuff you could pull from Irish specific movies.

1276
01:14:47,439 --> 01:14:50,479
Speaker 1: And there's so much more in our pop culture that's uh,

1277
01:14:50,720 --> 01:14:54,040
Speaker 1: Scottish based than Irish. Is really interesting. And you look

1278
01:14:54,120 --> 01:14:58,160
Speaker 1: at movies and Joe you know, obviously, uh all the

1279
01:14:58,360 --> 01:15:01,639
Speaker 1: all the Mike Meyers stuff is from the Austin powers

1280
01:15:01,720 --> 01:15:06,679
Speaker 1: of Scottish. And then you also have Braveheart Scottish. Although

1281
01:15:06,720 --> 01:15:08,599
Speaker 1: there's an irishman in it, which I just gave away.

1282
01:15:08,600 --> 01:15:11,040
Speaker 1: I'm giving away all the clips now. Um, you know,

1283
01:15:11,160 --> 01:15:15,280
Speaker 1: you look through this and the most famous Irish action

1284
01:15:15,680 --> 01:15:20,320
Speaker 1: actors in at least from what I know, are You

1285
01:15:20,360 --> 01:15:22,960
Speaker 1: gotta say Pierce Braslon even though he's playing a brit

1286
01:15:23,120 --> 01:15:26,760
Speaker 1: when he plays James Bond. And then Liam Neeson, who's

1287
01:15:26,760 --> 01:15:29,519
Speaker 1: also Irish by the way, that's it. People would say

1288
01:15:29,560 --> 01:15:33,240
Speaker 1: Colin Farrell, And I'm just like Colin Farrell ruins movies.

1289
01:15:33,320 --> 01:15:35,320
Speaker 1: Actually that's his job. His job is to be in

1290
01:15:35,360 --> 01:15:37,880
Speaker 1: a movie and ruin it, and keep being in movies

1291
01:15:37,920 --> 01:15:39,559
Speaker 1: and keep ruining them over and over again and keep

1292
01:15:39,560 --> 01:15:42,000
Speaker 1: getting big movie roles. And you know Dayton Supermodels the

1293
01:15:42,040 --> 01:15:45,519
Speaker 1: whole thing and ruining the movies. You know, I'm okay

1294
01:15:45,560 --> 01:15:47,639
Speaker 1: with the guy who's actually good at his job, enjoying

1295
01:15:47,720 --> 01:15:51,679
Speaker 1: all the fruits of his labor um, but actually don't

1296
01:15:51,800 --> 01:15:54,400
Speaker 1: stink and he's in movie after movie where he is

1297
01:15:55,640 --> 01:15:58,880
Speaker 1: the worst. So we put a little bit of St

1298
01:15:58,920 --> 01:16:01,000
Speaker 1: Patrick's day montage it for you. But I really try

1299
01:16:01,040 --> 01:16:04,080
Speaker 1: to think about it. What who is the great Irish

1300
01:16:04,680 --> 01:16:08,800
Speaker 1: hero in American pop culture? And if you're thinking about

1301
01:16:08,840 --> 01:16:12,000
Speaker 1: great characters that are actually Irish and not British or Scottish.

1302
01:16:12,920 --> 01:16:16,320
Speaker 1: So there's room there somewhere. And huh, you don't have

1303
01:16:16,640 --> 01:16:19,960
Speaker 1: you don't have as much so many different Scottish characters

1304
01:16:20,240 --> 01:16:23,200
Speaker 1: in our even in the Wonder Woman movie, for example,

1305
01:16:23,439 --> 01:16:26,920
Speaker 1: in Wonder Woman, the sniper guy Scottish and the whole

1306
01:16:26,960 --> 01:16:29,799
Speaker 1: thing right, he's not Irish. You don't have as many irishman.

1307
01:16:29,800 --> 01:16:31,240
Speaker 1: Don't know what's going on with that, all right, So

1308
01:16:31,560 --> 01:16:34,000
Speaker 1: I hope you're enjoying your St. Patrick's Day weekend as

1309
01:16:34,000 --> 01:16:37,240
Speaker 1: it's getting started, folks, We've got quite a third hour here.

1310
01:16:37,280 --> 01:16:39,360
Speaker 1: We're gonna be joined by a sunny bunch from the

1311
01:16:39,439 --> 01:16:43,200
Speaker 1: Washington Free Beacon. He just is talking about Netflix and

1312
01:16:43,240 --> 01:16:44,720
Speaker 1: all the different shows you can watch. You know, I

1313
01:16:44,800 --> 01:16:47,360
Speaker 1: love that topic. Lug. It's the third hour, it's a Friday.

1314
01:16:47,479 --> 01:16:49,760
Speaker 1: We gotta we gotta ease into the weekend a bit.

1315
01:16:49,840 --> 01:16:51,880
Speaker 1: We also have Emily's a notty joining us in just

1316
01:16:52,040 --> 01:16:54,519
Speaker 1: a few minutes, and she's going to be talking to

1317
01:16:54,640 --> 01:16:59,000
Speaker 1: you all about what the uh. Some of the stories

1318
01:16:59,120 --> 01:17:01,360
Speaker 1: that either well some of them are the ones you've missed.

1319
01:17:01,600 --> 01:17:05,360
Speaker 1: And then also they'll be certainly one story that we

1320
01:17:05,439 --> 01:17:07,920
Speaker 1: have an update on from her, but she'll and she'll

1322
01:17:10,439 --> 01:17:13,640
Speaker 1: Patrick's Day plans are. You know, I feel like people say,

1323
01:17:13,680 --> 01:17:17,000
Speaker 1: don't say St. Patty's Day, and I want to say,

1324
01:17:17,439 --> 01:17:20,599
Speaker 1: I understand why Patty Wagon is offensive, but I feel

1325
01:17:20,600 --> 01:17:23,240
Speaker 1: like Irish people, at least Irish Americans. I can't speak

1326
01:17:23,240 --> 01:17:26,040
Speaker 1: for Irish people. Irish are actually kind of a bunch

1327
01:17:26,080 --> 01:17:28,080
Speaker 1: of left wing socialists. I know, people don't like the

1328
01:17:28,200 --> 01:17:30,320
Speaker 1: it's you go, you go to our my friends. I

1329
01:17:30,400 --> 01:17:32,200
Speaker 1: had a buddy who was, you know, studying an Nowland

1330
01:17:32,240 --> 01:17:35,559
Speaker 1: for years and he's like, uh, it's not like Irish Americans.

1331
01:17:35,640 --> 01:17:38,799
Speaker 1: You get a certain you know. Yeah, we got Quinn

1332
01:17:39,400 --> 01:17:41,680
Speaker 1: Is sitting in here, also known as Mike producer. Mike

1333
01:17:42,360 --> 01:17:44,920
Speaker 1: John is not Irish, but I'm half and you know

1334
01:17:44,960 --> 01:17:47,640
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. It's a very different deal. When

1335
01:17:47,680 --> 01:17:49,479
Speaker 1: you have actual Irish people. They're like, yeah, I love

1336
01:17:49,600 --> 01:17:53,200
Speaker 1: I love Cuba. They're like, whoa, Yeah, I've recently met

1337
01:17:53,240 --> 01:17:56,960
Speaker 1: a fellow quinlan um friend of a friend who is

1338
01:17:57,320 --> 01:18:01,320
Speaker 1: exactly what you just described, and yeah we were not related. Um,

1339
01:18:03,479 --> 01:18:06,200
Speaker 1: you know, they don't really like America. You're like, whoa,

1340
01:18:06,720 --> 01:18:09,720
Speaker 1: what's up with that. You know, Irish American people were

1341
01:18:09,760 --> 01:18:13,280
Speaker 1: all like, yeah, bro fighting Irish, Notre Dame, drinking beer,

1342
01:18:13,479 --> 01:18:17,200
Speaker 1: loving each other America, but of Irish descent. You go

1343
01:18:17,400 --> 01:18:21,120
Speaker 1: over to Ireland, They're just like, stop appropriating our culture.

1344
01:18:21,720 --> 01:18:23,800
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, it's really not what It's

1345
01:18:23,840 --> 01:18:26,000
Speaker 1: not what people think it is. You're right on points

1346
01:18:26,000 --> 01:18:28,040
Speaker 1: exactly the way it is. So you know, this is

1347
01:18:28,160 --> 01:18:30,360
Speaker 1: this is you live and learn folks, you live in them.

1348
01:18:30,400 --> 01:18:31,960
Speaker 1: This is like what I spent a summer in Greece,

1349
01:18:32,400 --> 01:18:34,200
Speaker 1: and I thought I'd be like, oh hey if I

1350
01:18:34,400 --> 01:18:38,040
Speaker 1: stole paco like uzo and dancing, and I mean there

1351
01:18:38,120 --> 01:18:40,320
Speaker 1: was plenty of that, but there's also a lot of

1352
01:18:40,400 --> 01:18:42,840
Speaker 1: like America ruined our country with that coup back in

1353
01:18:42,920 --> 01:18:45,080
Speaker 1: the day or whatever, and they still protest about it.

1354
01:18:45,160 --> 01:18:48,240
Speaker 1: I'm like, guys, get it together, why don't you pay

1355
01:18:48,320 --> 01:18:53,839
Speaker 1: some taxes. I'm just saying. I'm just saying it's you know, Unfortunately,

1356
01:18:53,880 --> 01:18:56,760
Speaker 1: I don't think I think Team Buck Greek American is

1357
01:18:56,800 --> 01:18:59,320
Speaker 1: a strong force. I don't think Team Buck Greece is

1358
01:18:59,360 --> 01:19:01,720
Speaker 1: that strong. So I think we're okay there because a

1359
01:19:01,760 --> 01:19:03,280
Speaker 1: lot of the Greeks that are like, hey, I want

1360
01:19:03,280 --> 01:19:05,200
Speaker 1: to make a lot of money and be successful and

1361
01:19:05,280 --> 01:19:06,880
Speaker 1: you know, better future of my children. They are like,

1362
01:19:06,920 --> 01:19:11,040
Speaker 1: we're gonna leave this Teloponnese where no one really pays access. Um.

1363
01:19:11,439 --> 01:19:14,479
Speaker 1: So there's so there's that, but a lot of anti

1364
01:19:14,520 --> 01:19:18,040
Speaker 1: American graffiti in Greece. So I've got a random story

1365
01:19:18,080 --> 01:19:19,559
Speaker 1: for to throw in the mix here before we get

1366
01:19:19,600 --> 01:19:21,760
Speaker 1: our friend Emily's nadi on. I don't know if you've

1367
01:19:21,800 --> 01:19:25,000
Speaker 1: seen this or not, but there's a sheriff who is

1368
01:19:25,400 --> 01:19:27,760
Speaker 1: I believe he's yeah, based on a oh no, Alabama.

1369
01:19:27,800 --> 01:19:31,680
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, Georgia, who don't worry, Georgia, You're good, Alabama.

1370
01:19:32,120 --> 01:19:36,000
Speaker 1: This is on you. Sheriff defends self after public outrage

1371
01:19:36,080 --> 01:19:40,960
Speaker 1: over seven forty dollar beach house pocketing money from innate

1372
01:19:41,120 --> 01:19:45,280
Speaker 1: food fund. You gotta love this dude. This guy figured

1373
01:19:45,280 --> 01:19:47,479
Speaker 1: out he's the uh. I don't know how to say

1374
01:19:47,520 --> 01:19:50,080
Speaker 1: this Etowah or Edawah. I don't know e t o

1375
01:19:50,320 --> 01:19:53,679
Speaker 1: w a H, but the let's say Edowah. Edowa County

1376
01:19:53,720 --> 01:19:58,719
Speaker 1: Sheriff Todd Entrikin is like, the law says that whatever

1377
01:19:58,880 --> 01:20:02,320
Speaker 1: money that is not used to feed inmates can be

1378
01:20:02,479 --> 01:20:05,519
Speaker 1: used for the sheriff's purposes. So he took that to

1379
01:20:05,640 --> 01:20:07,160
Speaker 1: be you know, I feel like a lot of people

1380
01:20:07,200 --> 01:20:10,519
Speaker 1: would think, yeah, you know, ballistic inserts for vests and

1381
01:20:10,680 --> 01:20:14,200
Speaker 1: like additional canine units and you know things like that.

1382
01:20:14,479 --> 01:20:17,960
Speaker 1: You know, a police memorial fun, that's where you think

1383
01:20:18,040 --> 01:20:22,320
Speaker 1: the money would go. No, he bought a almost million

1384
01:20:22,360 --> 01:20:25,040
Speaker 1: dollar beach house three quarters of million dollars. And what

1385
01:20:25,120 --> 01:20:27,639
Speaker 1: I love about this guy you almost have to respect

1386
01:20:27,720 --> 01:20:30,439
Speaker 1: the hustle and just the shamelessness. He was like, yeah,

1387
01:20:30,560 --> 01:20:33,240
Speaker 1: that's what the law says. I'm I'm not apologizing for it.

1388
01:20:33,800 --> 01:20:36,960
Speaker 1: This guy's got real estate assets. He makes ninety dollars

1389
01:20:36,960 --> 01:20:39,720
Speaker 1: a year, it's public record. He's got real estate assets

1390
01:20:40,200 --> 01:20:43,880
Speaker 1: in the in the millions. He owns one point seven

1391
01:20:43,920 --> 01:20:47,240
Speaker 1: million dollars of real estate and when asked about this,

1392
01:20:47,360 --> 01:20:53,040
Speaker 1: including uh, multiple homes, and he was like, yeah, that's right, son,

1393
01:20:53,280 --> 01:20:56,559
Speaker 1: that's what the law says. And what he's not back.

1394
01:20:56,760 --> 01:20:59,280
Speaker 1: Usually public officials where they have something like this happened,

1395
01:20:59,280 --> 01:21:02,120
Speaker 1: they're kind of like like maybe we should like I

1396
01:21:02,240 --> 01:21:05,040
Speaker 1: will make restitution or no. No, this guy's like, that's

1397
01:21:05,080 --> 01:21:08,000
Speaker 1: what the law says. You chumps didn't change the law.

1398
01:21:08,400 --> 01:21:11,880
Speaker 1: So Papa needs a new beach house. And that's it. So,

1399
01:21:12,280 --> 01:21:14,559
Speaker 1: you know, Usually I see these stories of public officials

1400
01:21:14,640 --> 01:21:17,559
Speaker 1: engaging corruption or graft or whatever, and I'm like, how

1401
01:21:17,720 --> 01:21:19,840
Speaker 1: dare you, sir? And this one I'm trying, like, Wow,

1402
01:21:20,479 --> 01:21:22,640
Speaker 1: this guy's a straight up hustler. He's like, that's what

1403
01:21:22,720 --> 01:21:25,080
Speaker 1: the law says. I want a beach house. I want

1404
01:21:25,120 --> 01:21:29,760
Speaker 1: to sit out there drinking homemade kai burns and being

1405
01:21:29,840 --> 01:21:33,320
Speaker 1: fancies Alabama Sheriff. This guy's this guy's got some good taste.

1406
01:21:33,360 --> 01:21:35,200
Speaker 1: He's got almost some you know, three quarters of a

1407
01:21:35,240 --> 01:21:37,560
Speaker 1: million dollars beach house. That sounds pretty nice, but it

1408
01:21:37,640 --> 01:21:39,479
Speaker 1: just goes to show you, folks, you all got you.

1409
01:21:39,920 --> 01:21:42,640
Speaker 1: I almost went into it, y'all. There by accident appropriate

1410
01:21:42,800 --> 01:21:48,280
Speaker 1: so much am Irish appropriating, Southern appropriating, you know, gosh,

1411
01:21:48,479 --> 01:21:50,080
Speaker 1: and if I start doing an accent, people be like,

1412
01:21:50,120 --> 01:21:52,400
Speaker 1: you suit your figure from Manhattan. They don't have accents,

1413
01:21:52,439 --> 01:21:56,439
Speaker 1: so I can't appropriate anything right now. Anyway, this Sheriff's

1414
01:21:56,479 --> 01:21:59,360
Speaker 1: obviously bad. What he did. He probably is taking food

1415
01:21:59,479 --> 01:22:01,880
Speaker 1: out of the out of prisoners. At some level, we're

1416
01:22:01,920 --> 01:22:05,760
Speaker 1: making a crappier food. But apparently he legally can do it,

1417
01:22:05,840 --> 01:22:08,120
Speaker 1: which is pretty amazing, all right, we got more to

1418
01:22:08,160 --> 01:22:29,800
Speaker 1: stay with me, everybody. It's been quite a week in

1419
01:22:29,960 --> 01:22:32,920
Speaker 1: the news cycle, and there's some stories that we want

1420
01:22:32,960 --> 01:22:35,040
Speaker 1: to follow up on or that we haven't even gotten

1421
01:22:35,120 --> 01:22:37,680
Speaker 1: a chance to talk to you about yet. And for

1422
01:22:37,880 --> 01:22:40,759
Speaker 1: that we are joined by our friend Emily's A Nati.

1423
01:22:40,920 --> 01:22:44,160
Speaker 1: She is a senior editor at Daily wire dot Com.

1424
01:22:44,360 --> 01:22:47,560
Speaker 1: You could follow her on the Twitter at e. M

1425
01:22:48,200 --> 01:22:56,720
Speaker 1: Zanati Mrs a Nati. Hey, what's up. It's good. It's good,

1426
01:22:56,800 --> 01:22:59,200
Speaker 1: so so happy for to Happy St. Patrick's Day. You're

1427
01:22:59,200 --> 01:23:02,760
Speaker 1: in Chicago. I am. This is like our Nashville, this

1428
01:23:02,880 --> 01:23:05,040
Speaker 1: is our big day. So I've got to tell you something.

1429
01:23:05,600 --> 01:23:08,080
Speaker 1: Savannah Georgia was talking a little smack when I was

1430
01:23:08,120 --> 01:23:11,200
Speaker 1: down there about a week ago. They claim to have

1431
01:23:11,400 --> 01:23:14,639
Speaker 1: the second biggest St. Patrick's Day celebration in the country.

1432
01:23:15,000 --> 01:23:16,600
Speaker 1: And I don't even have the heart to ask is

1433
01:23:16,640 --> 01:23:19,080
Speaker 1: it after Chicago or after New York? Because if it's

1434
01:23:19,080 --> 01:23:20,960
Speaker 1: after New York, which I'm assuming it is, it means

1435
01:23:21,040 --> 01:23:24,880
Speaker 1: they think they're beaten out the Windy City. I'm gonna

1436
01:23:24,920 --> 01:23:28,240
Speaker 1: have to go live. Yeah, I will venture downtown to

1437
01:23:28,840 --> 01:23:33,760
Speaker 1: to show Savannah Georgia how much of a disaster Chicago is.

1438
01:23:34,200 --> 01:23:37,320
Speaker 1: I mean, the river literally gets turned green, right right,

1439
01:23:37,439 --> 01:23:40,160
Speaker 1: that's the first order of business. Tomorrow At eight thirty

1440
01:23:40,200 --> 01:23:42,920
Speaker 1: in the morning, they pour some stuff in the river

1441
01:23:43,040 --> 01:23:45,479
Speaker 1: that turns it green, and then we have an endless

1442
01:23:45,720 --> 01:23:49,040
Speaker 1: parade and then everyone goes up to Wrigley Fields and

1443
01:23:49,160 --> 01:23:51,280
Speaker 1: just get drunk for the rest of the night. Is

1444
01:23:51,360 --> 01:23:53,919
Speaker 1: there is there Irish? I should probably know this, considering

1445
01:23:53,960 --> 01:23:56,960
Speaker 1: I'm roughly half Irish in terms of background. Is there

1446
01:23:57,040 --> 01:24:03,160
Speaker 1: Irish cuisine? I what do you we got? Producer Mike

1447
01:24:03,200 --> 01:24:06,880
Speaker 1: looking at me, saying, yes, what's Irish cuisine? Dude? What

1448
01:24:07,000 --> 01:24:09,559
Speaker 1: do we got now? Emily, do you know of any

1449
01:24:09,600 --> 01:24:13,559
Speaker 1: Irish cuisine? Yeah? I mean I've had Irish breakfast, which

1450
01:24:13,640 --> 01:24:17,040
Speaker 1: is like sausage and eggs and corn beef and cabbage obviously.

1451
01:24:17,240 --> 01:24:19,640
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's right, corned beef. All right. That's their

1452
01:24:19,760 --> 01:24:24,759
Speaker 1: that's their contribution to the culinary world. Take it alright? Alright,

1453
01:24:24,800 --> 01:24:29,160
Speaker 1: well let's get into the Okay, Oh, this story broke

1454
01:24:29,240 --> 01:24:32,639
Speaker 1: my heart this week, the dog on the plane. Yeah,

1455
01:24:33,360 --> 01:24:35,560
Speaker 1: what's the latest on this? I saw somebody see I

1456
01:24:35,800 --> 01:24:39,200
Speaker 1: said right when it broke that the that the airline

1457
01:24:39,439 --> 01:24:45,320
Speaker 1: is it attendant or we don't say steward dress anymore, right, attendant? Yes,

1458
01:24:45,400 --> 01:24:48,000
Speaker 1: thank you, the flight attendant. I was gonna say airline attendant.

1459
01:24:48,040 --> 01:24:52,439
Speaker 1: The flight attendant, uh said she or rather we were

1460
01:24:52,520 --> 01:24:54,960
Speaker 1: told by reporting that she knew it was a dog

1461
01:24:55,000 --> 01:24:57,080
Speaker 1: put up there. Anyway to me that could be an

1462
01:24:57,080 --> 01:24:59,360
Speaker 1: animal cruelty case. Do we have any updates on this?

1463
01:25:00,400 --> 01:25:03,320
Speaker 1: We don't, other than the United has now apologized and

1464
01:25:03,439 --> 01:25:06,759
Speaker 1: the actual owners of the dog have spoken out saying

1465
01:25:06,920 --> 01:25:09,679
Speaker 1: that they told that the stewardess or a flight attendant

1466
01:25:10,000 --> 01:25:12,400
Speaker 1: that it was definitely a dog. You could hear the

1467
01:25:12,520 --> 01:25:15,120
Speaker 1: dog that when they put the dog into the overhead

1468
01:25:15,160 --> 01:25:18,160
Speaker 1: compartments that the dog barked for about an hour straight.

1469
01:25:18,720 --> 01:25:21,560
Speaker 1: So it seems strange to you that now United is

1470
01:25:21,600 --> 01:25:23,919
Speaker 1: coming back and saying this was all a tragic accident

1471
01:25:24,160 --> 01:25:26,840
Speaker 1: and her slight attendant had no idea there was a

1472
01:25:26,920 --> 01:25:29,080
Speaker 1: dog in the bag. She just saw the bag that

1473
01:25:29,160 --> 01:25:32,320
Speaker 1: didn't fit under the seat. It's it's a bizarre story,

1474
01:25:32,400 --> 01:25:35,120
Speaker 1: and it keeps getting weirder because it sounds like this

1475
01:25:35,320 --> 01:25:39,639
Speaker 1: dog really wanted out, and nobody on the plane seemed

1476
01:25:39,680 --> 01:25:43,639
Speaker 1: to say anything. Yeah, I'm somebody who you know any

1477
01:25:43,720 --> 01:25:45,760
Speaker 1: any cruelty to dogs? And I just want I just

1478
01:25:45,800 --> 01:25:48,240
Speaker 1: want to fight someone. I get very very angry about it.

1479
01:25:48,320 --> 01:25:50,280
Speaker 1: And when I'm told that there's or when I'm reading

1480
01:25:50,840 --> 01:25:53,280
Speaker 1: that there was a dog that was making noise to

1481
01:25:53,320 --> 01:25:56,160
Speaker 1: get out of there, I feel like the stewardess. I'm sorry,

1482
01:25:56,520 --> 01:25:58,360
Speaker 1: I didn't actually mean that. I feel like the airline

1483
01:25:58,360 --> 01:26:01,160
Speaker 1: attendant must have no one and figured, well, he's got

1484
01:26:01,280 --> 01:26:04,559
Speaker 1: enough air up there. Who cares? Which is terrible? Which

1485
01:26:04,640 --> 01:26:06,960
Speaker 1: is awful? Yeah, which is awful. And it is a

1486
01:26:07,160 --> 01:26:11,759
Speaker 1: airless compartment. It is not served by the planes material

1487
01:26:11,880 --> 01:26:14,880
Speaker 1: so you just you can't breathe if you're locked into

1488
01:26:15,400 --> 01:26:18,639
Speaker 1: a compartment that's typically meant for baggage. Those dogs. Are

1489
01:26:19,000 --> 01:26:21,519
Speaker 1: you paid to put your dog or cat in their

1490
01:26:21,560 --> 01:26:23,720
Speaker 1: soft carrier under the seat in front of you. So

1491
01:26:23,800 --> 01:26:26,639
Speaker 1: it's kind of shocking that an airline attendant that would

1492
01:26:26,880 --> 01:26:30,000
Speaker 1: know these rules and know that United has asked people

1493
01:26:30,040 --> 01:26:32,240
Speaker 1: to pay that extra hundred and twenty five dollars to

1494
01:26:32,280 --> 01:26:35,479
Speaker 1: bring your pet on board, would still manage to do this.

1495
01:26:35,640 --> 01:26:39,200
Speaker 1: It's it's scary, but United actually has a horrible track

1496
01:26:39,320 --> 01:26:43,720
Speaker 1: record when it comes to animals. Since this time last year,

1497
01:26:43,920 --> 01:26:47,960
Speaker 1: something like twenty four animals have died on board planes,

1498
01:26:48,479 --> 01:26:51,160
Speaker 1: and eighteen of those animals have been on United. So

1499
01:26:51,520 --> 01:26:53,160
Speaker 1: if you have a dog or cat, you may want

1500
01:26:53,160 --> 01:26:56,599
Speaker 1: to think about flying United. Before you fly United, come

1501
01:26:56,640 --> 01:27:00,400
Speaker 1: fly the Soviet Union. Fly United. That's the way. That's

1502
01:27:00,400 --> 01:27:02,080
Speaker 1: what they should call it, something like that. You know

1503
01:27:02,400 --> 01:27:06,200
Speaker 1: it's it's the worst. I really can not. I'm trash

1504
01:27:06,360 --> 01:27:08,600
Speaker 1: United left variety, you know what, they deserve it all right,

1505
01:27:08,600 --> 01:27:10,479
Speaker 1: but let's move on to one more. Actually got a

1506
01:27:10,520 --> 01:27:14,360
Speaker 1: couple more here we have the snake whisperer is no more.

1507
01:27:14,600 --> 01:27:19,120
Speaker 1: Emily tell us what happened? Read So apparently in Malaysia

1508
01:27:19,240 --> 01:27:22,120
Speaker 1: there are so many snakes, so many king cobras, which

1509
01:27:22,120 --> 01:27:25,040
Speaker 1: are the world's most deadly snake, so many of these

1510
01:27:25,160 --> 01:27:28,240
Speaker 1: that they have snake whispers attached to fire departments, so

1511
01:27:28,360 --> 01:27:30,400
Speaker 1: that when you find a king cobra in your backyard,

1512
01:27:30,520 --> 01:27:33,400
Speaker 1: you actually have to call this person. I obviously am

1513
01:27:33,439 --> 01:27:35,280
Speaker 1: never moving to Malaysia. I don't know if there was

1514
01:27:35,320 --> 01:27:37,320
Speaker 1: any reason to move to Malaysia, but that is not

1515
01:27:37,560 --> 01:27:41,559
Speaker 1: happening now. This guy was phoned in to take care

1516
01:27:41,600 --> 01:27:44,960
Speaker 1: of a snake got bit. He is the world foremost

1517
01:27:45,000 --> 01:27:48,280
Speaker 1: snake handler. He was even on Malaysia's got Talent or

1518
01:27:48,280 --> 01:27:51,639
Speaker 1: America's got talent one of those to showcase his snake handling,

1519
01:27:52,320 --> 01:27:55,880
Speaker 1: and he got bit and sadly he passed away yesterday.

1520
01:27:56,000 --> 01:27:59,040
Speaker 1: He was the world's foremost snake charmer. I feel like

1521
01:27:59,200 --> 01:28:03,200
Speaker 1: this reminds me a little bit of the the guy

1522
01:28:03,320 --> 01:28:06,760
Speaker 1: who with the Australian what's his name, Steve, you know

1523
01:28:09,360 --> 01:28:13,879
Speaker 1: Hunter and then he finally got taken out by a stingwright.

1524
01:28:13,920 --> 01:28:17,040
Speaker 1: It's like, if you're around very dangerous animals enough, I

1525
01:28:17,120 --> 01:28:20,280
Speaker 1: don't care how much expertise you have, they are animals,

1526
01:28:20,560 --> 01:28:23,479
Speaker 1: you will sneeze and get bitten. I mean, something will happen.

1527
01:28:24,520 --> 01:28:26,680
Speaker 1: And the funny thing about Steve Irwin was that he

1528
01:28:26,760 --> 01:28:31,200
Speaker 1: actually died swimming with animals that are not particularly dangerous,

1529
01:28:31,320 --> 01:28:34,400
Speaker 1: like sting rays are dangerous, but it's very rare to

1530
01:28:34,479 --> 01:28:37,599
Speaker 1: get hit by one like that. And he just pressed

1531
01:28:37,640 --> 01:28:40,240
Speaker 1: his luck one too many things. And this was the

1532
01:28:40,320 --> 01:28:44,719
Speaker 1: same thing in the A order, which was also highly unlucky.

1533
01:28:44,840 --> 01:28:48,880
Speaker 1: As these things go, um okay, so onto something else.

1534
01:28:49,360 --> 01:28:53,639
Speaker 1: Uh A. You've got a lot of coverage of adult

1535
01:28:53,720 --> 01:28:56,479
Speaker 1: film stars, as they are sometimes referred to or on

1536
01:28:56,600 --> 01:28:59,519
Speaker 1: CNN constantly now porn stars. That's the way they always

1537
01:28:59,520 --> 01:29:03,640
Speaker 1: refer to the an adult film star was ordering a

1538
01:29:03,760 --> 01:29:08,040
Speaker 1: pizza from Dominoes and then things got weird. Well I mean,

1539
01:29:08,120 --> 01:29:10,519
Speaker 1: I guess it got weird for real life, but it

1540
01:29:10,640 --> 01:29:12,560
Speaker 1: sort of sounds like what would happen in one of

1541
01:29:12,600 --> 01:29:14,680
Speaker 1: her movies. I don't know, I've never seen one. I

1542
01:29:14,840 --> 01:29:18,479
Speaker 1: just I you know, I've heard thing. So the delivery

1543
01:29:18,640 --> 01:29:22,360
Speaker 1: driver gave her her pizza, then a couple of hours later,

1544
01:29:22,520 --> 01:29:25,919
Speaker 1: decided to text her and offered her two hundred dollars

1545
01:29:26,080 --> 01:29:32,519
Speaker 1: to perform for him. He stole her information off of

1546
01:29:33,000 --> 01:29:36,519
Speaker 1: one of the pizza box ordering forms, kept her receipt,

1547
01:29:36,560 --> 01:29:38,640
Speaker 1: and then texted her later on like it was no

1548
01:29:38,760 --> 01:29:41,599
Speaker 1: big deal. And can we just tell everybody at home

1549
01:29:41,720 --> 01:29:43,720
Speaker 1: listening to this Emily as they're getting ready for their

1550
01:29:43,760 --> 01:29:46,760
Speaker 1: Friday evenings, are already off on their weekends. What was

1551
01:29:46,840 --> 01:29:50,600
Speaker 1: the single greatest part of the whole story that Dominoes

1552
01:29:50,720 --> 01:29:55,040
Speaker 1: was involved in? Here, Dominoes offered for her trouble to

1553
01:29:55,160 --> 01:29:59,840
Speaker 1: give her a free order of cinnamon Stix. This re

1554
01:30:00,080 --> 01:30:03,840
Speaker 1: in the deal. This woman claimed she was literally proposition

1555
01:30:03,960 --> 01:30:06,880
Speaker 1: for money by the delivery guy and which she called

1556
01:30:06,920 --> 01:30:11,679
Speaker 1: a complaint. The manager offered her an order of cinnamon sticks, folks,

1557
01:30:11,800 --> 01:30:16,680
Speaker 1: So customer customer service propositions, Yeah, if you are propositions

1558
01:30:16,760 --> 01:30:20,160
Speaker 1: by your Domino's delivery driver, do have sex for money?

1559
01:30:20,760 --> 01:30:23,160
Speaker 1: The best you're going to do from Domino's is a

1560
01:30:23,240 --> 01:30:26,479
Speaker 1: free dessert before we let you go off onto your weekend. Emily,

1561
01:30:26,479 --> 01:30:28,400
Speaker 1: We're assuming you're gonna have a more fun answer to

1562
01:30:28,439 --> 01:30:30,640
Speaker 1: this question than our last guest, Sean Davis when we

1563
01:30:30,760 --> 01:30:34,879
Speaker 1: love from the Federalists, who basically was like partying St. Patrick's.

1564
01:30:34,880 --> 01:30:37,080
Speaker 1: Get out of here. I've got things to write. What

1565
01:30:37,240 --> 01:30:39,519
Speaker 1: are you doing? What is the Nazi household up to

1566
01:30:39,680 --> 01:30:42,519
Speaker 1: for St. Patrick's Day? You know we're in Chicago. We

1567
01:30:42,640 --> 01:30:44,240
Speaker 1: have no choice. We're going to have to go get

1568
01:30:44,320 --> 01:30:47,240
Speaker 1: some green beer. At some points, I I get caught

1569
01:30:47,280 --> 01:30:49,519
Speaker 1: up in the middle of it. I have red hair,

1570
01:30:50,080 --> 01:30:53,519
Speaker 1: so obviously this is my holiday, regardless of whether I

1571
01:30:53,560 --> 01:30:56,040
Speaker 1: am at all Irish according to twenty three and me.

1572
01:30:56,400 --> 01:30:58,640
Speaker 1: So I'm definitely going to get some green beer. Be

1573
01:30:58,760 --> 01:31:01,679
Speaker 1: careful because you know people that have kissed me I'm Irish,

1574
01:31:01,800 --> 01:31:06,599
Speaker 1: buttons on. It's a microaggression and cultural appropriation. It is cultural.

1575
01:31:06,640 --> 01:31:09,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to carry my DNA results with me

1576
01:31:09,280 --> 01:31:11,439
Speaker 1: so that I am not accused of cultural appropriation, and

1577
01:31:11,560 --> 01:31:13,560
Speaker 1: you're better than Elizabeth Warren. But we already knew that

1578
01:31:13,720 --> 01:31:16,080
Speaker 1: Emily's a naughty everybody. Great to have her from the

1579
01:31:16,160 --> 01:31:19,200
Speaker 1: Daily Wire. Emily, have a fantastic weekend and enjoy your St.

1580
01:31:19,240 --> 01:31:22,840
Speaker 1: Patrick's Day. Thank you to alright, team, we're going to

1581
01:31:22,920 --> 01:31:25,599
Speaker 1: roll into a break. We've got so much more this hour.

1582
01:31:25,760 --> 01:31:39,200
Speaker 1: Stay with us and we'll be right back. He's holding

1583
01:31:39,280 --> 01:31:45,719
Speaker 1: the line for America Buck Sex in his back. Welcome

1584
01:31:45,720 --> 01:31:48,120
Speaker 1: back team, our three of the buck Sex and show

1585
01:31:48,200 --> 01:31:51,600
Speaker 1: in effect here, I often say to you all that

1586
01:31:52,280 --> 01:31:55,080
Speaker 1: I'm going to spend my weekend watching Netflix or Netflix

1587
01:31:55,120 --> 01:31:58,320
Speaker 1: and Amazon and perhaps HBO, because that is what I do,

1588
01:31:58,520 --> 01:32:00,800
Speaker 1: because I am not as fun and interesting as I

1589
01:32:00,840 --> 01:32:04,240
Speaker 1: should probably be. Nonetheless, Ms Molly still likes me, and

1590
01:32:04,920 --> 01:32:06,920
Speaker 1: there's still things to discuss. For those of us who

1591
01:32:06,960 --> 01:32:09,640
Speaker 1: watch a lot of television, are we in fact in

1592
01:32:09,720 --> 01:32:12,840
Speaker 1: a golden age of TV? We've got somebody who's got

1593
01:32:12,920 --> 01:32:16,559
Speaker 1: expertise on this, and that he has written a major

1594
01:32:16,640 --> 01:32:20,080
Speaker 1: piece for the Weekly Standard on its sunny Bunch joins

1595
01:32:20,160 --> 01:32:22,640
Speaker 1: us now he is the executive editor of the Washington

1596
01:32:22,840 --> 01:32:24,799
Speaker 1: Free Beacon. He's got a piece though in the weekly

1597
01:32:24,880 --> 01:32:28,600
Speaker 1: Standard overload, will any shows from the golden age of

1598
01:32:28,720 --> 01:32:31,120
Speaker 1: TV and your Sonny, thank you for joining us? Yeah,

1599
01:32:31,160 --> 01:32:33,519
Speaker 1: thanks carrying me on? Alright, So, I often say that

1600
01:32:33,600 --> 01:32:35,760
Speaker 1: I feel like the state of cinema right now is

1601
01:32:35,960 --> 01:32:38,640
Speaker 1: borderline crap. But the state of TV shows is so

1602
01:32:38,800 --> 01:32:41,840
Speaker 1: incredible that it's like all over the place. You can't

1603
01:32:41,840 --> 01:32:44,519
Speaker 1: even keep up with it. What say you, sir, Well,

1604
01:32:44,640 --> 01:32:46,879
Speaker 1: this is the problem, right, is that you can't actually

1605
01:32:46,960 --> 01:32:49,360
Speaker 1: keep up with it. There's so much good TV out there,

1606
01:32:49,360 --> 01:32:51,040
Speaker 1: you know. One of the one of the headlines I

1607
01:32:51,080 --> 01:32:53,519
Speaker 1: proposed for this piece was fifty seven thousand channels and

1608
01:32:53,560 --> 01:32:57,040
Speaker 1: everything on right, a play on the old Bruce Springsteening

1609
01:32:57,040 --> 01:32:59,679
Speaker 1: song fifty seven channels and nothing on. Like, the idea

1610
01:32:59,800 --> 01:33:05,040
Speaker 1: here is we have so much good too, great TV

1611
01:33:05,280 --> 01:33:08,080
Speaker 1: mostly good. There's a lot of kind of mediocre middle

1612
01:33:08,200 --> 01:33:10,479
Speaker 1: that we can we can discuss the difference between the

1613
01:33:10,520 --> 01:33:12,360
Speaker 1: great and the good later, but the you know, the

1614
01:33:12,520 --> 01:33:14,559
Speaker 1: the idea here is, there's just so much to watch

1615
01:33:15,400 --> 01:33:19,200
Speaker 1: that what what's going to end up lasting? Right? T

1616
01:33:19,360 --> 01:33:21,600
Speaker 1: V TV is a TV and all art really is

1617
01:33:21,680 --> 01:33:26,280
Speaker 1: a is a What lasts is what you can read

1618
01:33:26,400 --> 01:33:28,080
Speaker 1: over and over again. What you can share with other

1619
01:33:28,120 --> 01:33:30,040
Speaker 1: people over and over again, movies that you can watch

1620
01:33:30,160 --> 01:33:32,880
Speaker 1: time and again. A TV show, even a great TV show,

1621
01:33:33,000 --> 01:33:35,240
Speaker 1: you know, like The Sopranos, probably my favorite TV show

1622
01:33:35,240 --> 01:33:39,240
Speaker 1: of the last twenty years. Uh, sitting down to rewatch that,

1623
01:33:39,479 --> 01:33:43,000
Speaker 1: that's the ninety investment. Who has time for that? So

1624
01:33:43,240 --> 01:33:45,320
Speaker 1: the idea of this pieces. Look, there's a lot of stuff.

1625
01:33:45,920 --> 01:33:48,839
Speaker 1: Uh what does it mean to even form a canon

1626
01:33:49,479 --> 01:33:52,760
Speaker 1: of great art? And can you form a canon of

1627
01:33:52,880 --> 01:33:56,280
Speaker 1: great TV? I just I'm not a dent short as possible.

1628
01:33:57,000 --> 01:33:59,920
Speaker 1: What are the greatest five TV shows of the last

1629
01:34:00,080 --> 01:34:02,360
Speaker 1: twenty years? Since you have obviously done the deep dive

1630
01:34:02,400 --> 01:34:06,240
Speaker 1: in the research here. Uh, well, I mean, what would

1631
01:34:06,320 --> 01:34:09,719
Speaker 1: my five personal favorites be. It's a it's a slightly

1632
01:34:09,760 --> 01:34:12,559
Speaker 1: different question, right, but I would I would go with, uh,

1633
01:34:13,720 --> 01:34:17,040
Speaker 1: the Sopranos, which I just mentioned, The Shield, which is

1634
01:34:17,120 --> 01:34:19,120
Speaker 1: a is a great show that was on effects. It

1635
01:34:19,240 --> 01:34:21,519
Speaker 1: kind of, in my opinion, it kind of really kicked

1636
01:34:21,560 --> 01:34:23,400
Speaker 1: off this boom of great TV shows. It was the

1637
01:34:23,439 --> 01:34:26,679
Speaker 1: first of the big basic cable shows to to reach

1638
01:34:26,960 --> 01:34:29,599
Speaker 1: uh not a large audience, but a but an important

1639
01:34:29,600 --> 01:34:33,280
Speaker 1: audience and influential audience. UM, I would say The Simpsons

1640
01:34:33,600 --> 01:34:36,720
Speaker 1: is probably one of one of my one of my

1641
01:34:36,800 --> 01:34:40,479
Speaker 1: five favorite TV shows, uh, Deadwood. Deadwood, I think is

1642
01:34:40,680 --> 01:34:42,720
Speaker 1: if I was going to pick one show that will

1643
01:34:42,800 --> 01:34:45,840
Speaker 1: end up lasting, it would probably be Deadwood. And we

1644
01:34:45,920 --> 01:34:50,439
Speaker 1: can discuss why in a sec. But the fifth show

1645
01:34:51,520 --> 01:34:53,000
Speaker 1: I would go with the comedy. I would go with,

1646
01:34:53,439 --> 01:34:57,439
Speaker 1: let's say Veep. I love Veep. Interesting. You don't have

1647
01:34:57,560 --> 01:35:02,160
Speaker 1: the the usual Breaking Bad or the Wire on the list. Well,

1648
01:35:02,240 --> 01:35:05,599
Speaker 1: you know, I like the Wire, but I don't love it, uh,

1649
01:35:05,760 --> 01:35:08,000
Speaker 1: and I like Breaking Back a lot. I think Breaking

1650
01:35:08,040 --> 01:35:09,400
Speaker 1: Bad is one of these shows that kind of picked

1651
01:35:09,479 --> 01:35:12,439
Speaker 1: up steam as it went. And one of the reasons

1652
01:35:12,520 --> 01:35:14,120
Speaker 1: that did this, and I kind of discussed this in

1653
01:35:14,160 --> 01:35:16,760
Speaker 1: the piece a little bit, is because of the way

1654
01:35:16,840 --> 01:35:19,639
Speaker 1: streaming helped save it and bring it to a bigger audience.

1655
01:35:20,000 --> 01:35:22,040
Speaker 1: You know, if if you look at the evolution of

1656
01:35:22,120 --> 01:35:25,240
Speaker 1: TV over the last twenty years or so, you see

1657
01:35:25,479 --> 01:35:30,080
Speaker 1: a medium that has grown by picking up new distribution

1658
01:35:31,000 --> 01:35:34,000
Speaker 1: methods and and when you when you're looking at say

1659
01:35:34,400 --> 01:35:37,120
Speaker 1: pay cable, you have the Sopranos, those shows. But then

1660
01:35:37,240 --> 01:35:39,400
Speaker 1: the expansion of basic cable was a big one, bringing

1661
01:35:39,439 --> 01:35:41,720
Speaker 1: in f X and bringing in a m C where

1662
01:35:41,760 --> 01:35:44,439
Speaker 1: you kind of uh, you you created you had a

1663
01:35:44,560 --> 01:35:47,240
Speaker 1: much wider audience base because these channels were on so

1664
01:35:47,320 --> 01:35:49,920
Speaker 1: many networks or there were in so many uh so

1665
01:35:50,040 --> 01:35:52,640
Speaker 1: many homes and people didn't have to pay extra for them.

1666
01:35:52,680 --> 01:35:55,960
Speaker 1: They were just on the basic cable packages. And then streaming,

1667
01:35:56,040 --> 01:35:59,519
Speaker 1: of course, you know streaming Netflix and Amazon Prime. These

1668
01:35:59,560 --> 01:36:02,479
Speaker 1: are the are two massively popular services that are in

1669
01:36:02,640 --> 01:36:07,880
Speaker 1: hundreds of millions of homes, and uh they have pioneered

1670
01:36:07,920 --> 01:36:10,840
Speaker 1: kind of a new distribution model. Netflix in particular. You know,

1671
01:36:10,960 --> 01:36:13,439
Speaker 1: the thing about Netflix is that they don't just release

1672
01:36:13,479 --> 01:36:15,320
Speaker 1: a new show every couple of weeks. They released a

1673
01:36:15,320 --> 01:36:17,160
Speaker 1: new show and they released all the episodes of that

1674
01:36:17,240 --> 01:36:20,479
Speaker 1: show at once, and that has drastically changed how people

1675
01:36:20,560 --> 01:36:23,879
Speaker 1: watch TV. I mean this, this whole idea of binging.

1676
01:36:24,040 --> 01:36:26,040
Speaker 1: You know, when is binging ever been a good thing,

1677
01:36:26,479 --> 01:36:28,320
Speaker 1: But now it is. It's just kind of taken for

1678
01:36:28,400 --> 01:36:30,920
Speaker 1: granted that you binge watch a TV show and you

1679
01:36:31,080 --> 01:36:32,560
Speaker 1: that's how you catch up with it, That's how you

1680
01:36:32,960 --> 01:36:34,559
Speaker 1: kind of keep in touch with the culture. That's how

1681
01:36:34,640 --> 01:36:36,240
Speaker 1: you know what to talk about at the water cooler.

1682
01:36:36,600 --> 01:36:39,160
Speaker 1: Sonny Bonch, the executive editor of the Washington Free Beacon,

1683
01:36:39,240 --> 01:36:42,080
Speaker 1: thank you so much for joining us, sir. Yeah, thanks

1684
01:36:42,120 --> 01:36:44,400
Speaker 1: turning me on. Alright, team, we're rolling too a break,

1685
01:36:44,439 --> 01:37:02,920
Speaker 1: will be right back. Well. Tomorrow is St Patrick's Day,

1686
01:37:03,040 --> 01:37:05,759
Speaker 1: my friends, and I hope you've got some fun plans.

1687
01:37:05,920 --> 01:37:09,479
Speaker 1: Perhaps you're going to drink some beer with green food

1688
01:37:09,560 --> 01:37:12,639
Speaker 1: coloring in it, and hopefully you won't be walking through

1689
01:37:13,360 --> 01:37:16,439
Speaker 1: too much of what was formerly beer with food coloring

1690
01:37:16,479 --> 01:37:19,200
Speaker 1: in it in the streets, although people tend to get

1691
01:37:19,200 --> 01:37:22,240
Speaker 1: a little sloppy on St. Patrick's Day in some places,

1692
01:37:22,360 --> 01:37:25,560
Speaker 1: as you know. And there's finally, ah, there's finally some

1693
01:37:25,640 --> 01:37:29,559
Speaker 1: pushback against the cultural appropriation. Uh and and it turns

1694
01:37:29,560 --> 01:37:32,679
Speaker 1: out that yeah, there aren't in fact any lepri cons.

1695
01:37:32,760 --> 01:37:35,840
Speaker 1: That's not a real thing that's out there. So maybe

1696
01:37:36,479 --> 01:37:39,519
Speaker 1: maybe we should stop associating on with leprecons and fairies

1697
01:37:39,560 --> 01:37:42,000
Speaker 1: and sprites and other things. I don't know. Personally, I

1698
01:37:42,120 --> 01:37:45,920
Speaker 1: kind of like it. Then again, there's quite a separation

1699
01:37:46,080 --> 01:37:50,440
Speaker 1: between actual Irish people and now the generations of Americans

1700
01:37:50,520 --> 01:37:54,320
Speaker 1: that at one point came from Irish or some mixed

1701
01:37:54,800 --> 01:37:57,880
Speaker 1: stock like me. So I hope you've got some fun

1702
01:37:57,920 --> 01:38:00,280
Speaker 1: plans tomorrow. I'm gonna be laying low if I can

1703
01:38:00,360 --> 01:38:03,360
Speaker 1: because I am right on the parade route. My apartment

1704
01:38:03,920 --> 01:38:06,880
Speaker 1: is going to be rocking. I mean, the windows are

1705
01:38:06,960 --> 01:38:10,960
Speaker 1: going to be rattled with the sounds of the bagpipers

1706
01:38:11,040 --> 01:38:14,360
Speaker 1: that are out there, and there's no escape for me.

1707
01:38:14,560 --> 01:38:16,439
Speaker 1: So I might as well just put on a kilt

1708
01:38:17,160 --> 01:38:20,200
Speaker 1: and get into it. So with that, I will now

1709
01:38:20,280 --> 01:38:22,400
Speaker 1: turn our attention to what you have to say, my

1710
01:38:22,560 --> 01:38:32,680
Speaker 1: friends with some roll call team Buck, it's time for

1711
01:38:32,880 --> 01:38:37,639
Speaker 1: roll call. I really do feel like we're looking over

1712
01:38:38,560 --> 01:38:41,519
Speaker 1: Emerald Green Fields and all the rest of it the

1713
01:38:41,560 --> 01:38:44,320
Speaker 1: moment that bagpipes has come up. But like I've said, okay, yeah,

1714
01:38:44,360 --> 01:38:46,960
Speaker 1: there we go, it's enough. Bagpipes are amazing for about

1715
01:38:47,160 --> 01:38:50,040
Speaker 1: thirty seconds. I originally said five minutes, and people like

1716
01:38:50,120 --> 01:38:52,080
Speaker 1: that's way too long, and then I rethought, you know,

1717
01:38:52,760 --> 01:38:55,839
Speaker 1: bagpipes are probably something you want for about thirty seconds.

1718
01:38:56,040 --> 01:39:00,560
Speaker 1: I think that's fair. So now let's it into it.

1719
01:39:00,760 --> 01:39:03,920
Speaker 1: Brian writes the following. By the way, if you want

1720
01:39:03,920 --> 01:39:06,439
Speaker 1: to be a part of roll Call Facebook dot com

1723
01:39:12,760 --> 01:39:15,960
Speaker 1: All right, Brian, he's up first here, He writes, savor

1724
01:39:16,040 --> 01:39:19,280
Speaker 1: the Flavor. Nice Tommy Boy reference, great show, love the

1725
01:39:19,360 --> 01:39:22,160
Speaker 1: deep dive into the mind of the social justice warrior. Well, Brian,

1726
01:39:22,240 --> 01:39:24,799
Speaker 1: thank you so much. I do a lot of research

1727
01:39:24,840 --> 01:39:27,120
Speaker 1: throughout the day and and my mission is to always

1728
01:39:27,200 --> 01:39:29,680
Speaker 1: bring you things as much as I can that you

1729
01:39:29,760 --> 01:39:31,720
Speaker 1: won't hear anywhere else. And there are things that you

1730
01:39:31,840 --> 01:39:34,120
Speaker 1: want to hear, because I know that you've got a

1731
01:39:34,160 --> 01:39:36,720
Speaker 1: lot of options out there for people to give you

1732
01:39:36,760 --> 01:39:40,160
Speaker 1: their opinions. I try to do more research than all

1733
01:39:40,160 --> 01:39:42,479
Speaker 1: the rest of them and try to be more original

1734
01:39:42,640 --> 01:39:46,040
Speaker 1: than most of them. If well, I'll just say most

1735
01:39:46,080 --> 01:39:48,360
Speaker 1: of them. So thank you very much for joining the show.

1736
01:39:48,360 --> 01:39:50,720
Speaker 1: And yes, that was Savor the Flavor was a very

1737
01:39:50,840 --> 01:39:53,320
Speaker 1: subtle Tommy Boy reference I've made yesterday on the show

1738
01:39:53,800 --> 01:39:56,600
Speaker 1: about being wrong. Turns out, by the way, that I

1739
01:39:56,680 --> 01:39:59,840
Speaker 1: gotta give producer Mike a code read because Fox News

1740
01:40:00,000 --> 01:40:04,479
Speaker 1: reported that McCabe's birthday is in fact this Sunday. That

1741
01:40:04,720 --> 01:40:06,840
Speaker 1: was the report from Fox News, Which is why he

1742
01:40:07,000 --> 01:40:09,879
Speaker 1: because when he hits fifty, that's when he can retire.

1743
01:40:10,240 --> 01:40:13,600
Speaker 1: It's an age it's an age restriction, so which, by

1744
01:40:13,640 --> 01:40:16,679
Speaker 1: the way, it seems pretty young to retire, right I'm

1745
01:40:16,720 --> 01:40:18,760
Speaker 1: hoping when I'm fifty that I'm gonna be hitting my

1746
01:40:18,880 --> 01:40:22,160
Speaker 1: max bench press. I'm not looking to retire at fifty fifty.

1747
01:40:22,200 --> 01:40:24,760
Speaker 1: It's like I'm just gonna be getting started, like the

1748
01:40:24,880 --> 01:40:28,679
Speaker 1: next chapter of Buck. Alright, Jason is next up here.

1749
01:40:28,840 --> 01:40:32,720
Speaker 1: He writes, Oh wow, he took a photo of the

1750
01:40:32,800 --> 01:40:37,160
Speaker 1: Blue Cat Lodge, which is featured in which is featured

1751
01:40:37,200 --> 01:40:40,360
Speaker 1: in the show Ozark. And it turns out it's a

1752
01:40:40,400 --> 01:40:43,320
Speaker 1: real place, which is pretty cool. Did not did not

1753
01:40:43,439 --> 01:40:45,920
Speaker 1: know that? Well, thank you very much. Al Right, Next

1754
01:40:46,040 --> 01:40:49,800
Speaker 1: up here, Uh, we have Mark, who writes, when I

1755
01:40:49,880 --> 01:40:52,679
Speaker 1: was in high school, I had a teacher named Mary

1756
01:40:52,720 --> 01:40:55,960
Speaker 1: Elizabeth Sexton, and she was fantastic. She was one of

1757
01:40:55,960 --> 01:40:58,840
Speaker 1: the nicest people you've ever met. After I graduated, I

1758
01:40:58,920 --> 01:41:00,720
Speaker 1: was in the Marines. I stopped by to visit her

1759
01:41:00,720 --> 01:41:02,559
Speaker 1: a couple of times when I was home on leave.

1760
01:41:02,960 --> 01:41:05,960
Speaker 1: I've wondered many times what happened to her. I'm an

1761
01:41:05,960 --> 01:41:08,800
Speaker 1: old guy, graduated high school in sixty one, so she

1762
01:41:08,920 --> 01:41:11,320
Speaker 1: would probably be eight ish if still with us. I

1763
01:41:11,400 --> 01:41:15,160
Speaker 1: wonder if she is a relative of yours, and if so,

1764
01:41:15,280 --> 01:41:16,720
Speaker 1: could you tell me a little bit about her. Here

1765
01:41:16,840 --> 01:41:20,080
Speaker 1: is a picture she seems like a very nice lady, Mark.

1766
01:41:20,240 --> 01:41:23,839
Speaker 1: I cannot say that I'm aware of any relations. Sexton

1767
01:41:25,120 --> 01:41:28,880
Speaker 1: is an occupational surname which I think a lot of

1768
01:41:28,960 --> 01:41:31,439
Speaker 1: people are surprised when they hear a sexton as the

1769
01:41:31,520 --> 01:41:34,400
Speaker 1: person who collects money in a church. He's the the

1770
01:41:34,520 --> 01:41:38,320
Speaker 1: lay person who works in a church. Uh digs the

1771
01:41:38,360 --> 01:41:42,200
Speaker 1: graves in fact, so I'm like grave digger. You know

1772
01:41:42,320 --> 01:41:44,080
Speaker 1: you can get like all the flames coming out of

1773
01:41:44,120 --> 01:41:48,360
Speaker 1: the side of my giant four by four grave digger.

1774
01:41:48,680 --> 01:41:51,120
Speaker 1: Isn't that a thing? Right that? Yeah, that's one of those,

1775
01:41:51,960 --> 01:41:55,360
Speaker 1: isn't it? Bigfoot and great monster trucks. That's not think enough?

1776
01:41:55,360 --> 01:42:00,240
Speaker 1: Thank you, Monster truck rallies Sexton the grave digger. Uh

1777
01:42:00,400 --> 01:42:02,960
Speaker 1: so yeah, there you go. But we also collect the

1778
01:42:03,000 --> 01:42:05,400
Speaker 1: money and are generally hopefully nice people to just say

1779
01:42:05,439 --> 01:42:07,840
Speaker 1: hi to in the church. That's what sextons are. So

1780
01:42:07,920 --> 01:42:10,439
Speaker 1: I'm affiliated with the church my friends in some way.

1781
01:42:11,040 --> 01:42:14,720
Speaker 1: All right, Um, next up here? Oh wow, we got

1782
01:42:14,840 --> 01:42:17,720
Speaker 1: so many, so many messages coming in. Thank you all.

1783
01:42:17,760 --> 01:42:19,360
Speaker 1: I really appreciate them. I will read all of them

1784
01:42:19,400 --> 01:42:20,680
Speaker 1: even if I don't. If it doesn't make it on

1785
01:42:20,760 --> 01:42:24,840
Speaker 1: air today, do not fret. There will be more opportunities

1786
01:42:24,920 --> 01:42:26,840
Speaker 1: and I will certainly read them. And this guy t

1787
01:42:27,040 --> 01:42:29,080
Speaker 1: J gets a huge high five because he actually has

1788
01:42:29,080 --> 01:42:33,519
Speaker 1: a shields high T shirt on in his Facebook photo

1789
01:42:33,640 --> 01:42:36,920
Speaker 1: and also with his very lovely wife. I'm I'm assuming

1790
01:42:36,960 --> 01:42:40,600
Speaker 1: could be girlfriend, but his wife, uh, and that makes me.

1791
01:42:41,000 --> 01:42:44,800
Speaker 1: That reminds me we're gonna be revamping and reworking on

1792
01:42:44,920 --> 01:42:47,720
Speaker 1: merchandise in the Team Bucks store. I've actually just been

1793
01:42:47,800 --> 01:42:49,880
Speaker 1: talking today to our design team about that we're gonna

1794
01:42:49,920 --> 01:42:53,960
Speaker 1: make some really cool stuff for and maybe even partner

1795
01:42:54,080 --> 01:42:57,080
Speaker 1: up with some folks to so really, really Nito, I

1796
01:42:57,200 --> 01:43:01,439
Speaker 1: just said, NTO, that's the first really hip hip things

1797
01:43:01,600 --> 01:43:05,000
Speaker 1: in the team Buck store. So, t J wrights Buck,

1798
01:43:05,080 --> 01:43:07,040
Speaker 1: you're so far out of your game trying to talk

1799
01:43:07,120 --> 01:43:12,000
Speaker 1: about cattle. Steer equals full grown mail that was castrated

1800
01:43:12,040 --> 01:43:15,639
Speaker 1: as a calf. Cows, while usually a term for cattle,

1801
01:43:15,760 --> 01:43:19,200
Speaker 1: is specifically a female. On that note, it's not uncommon

1802
01:43:19,280 --> 01:43:22,080
Speaker 1: to have Rocky Mountain oyster festivals out here in the Midwest.

1803
01:43:22,560 --> 01:43:24,920
Speaker 1: Rocky Mountain oysters are actually not bad. I think I

1804
01:43:25,040 --> 01:43:28,280
Speaker 1: put them above chicken gizzards. Well, thank you for schooling

1805
01:43:28,360 --> 01:43:31,560
Speaker 1: me on steer. I will be among the first to

1806
01:43:31,680 --> 01:43:35,600
Speaker 1: admit I will be the first to admit that I

1807
01:43:35,720 --> 01:43:38,360
Speaker 1: do not know anything about livestock, so we do not

1808
01:43:38,520 --> 01:43:43,360
Speaker 1: come across a lot of that here in Manhattan, where

1809
01:43:43,439 --> 01:43:48,320
Speaker 1: I grew up. Um next up here, Bill, Bill Wrights,

1810
01:43:48,439 --> 01:43:51,600
Speaker 1: Buck Love the show. Can you give us the progressive

1811
01:43:51,680 --> 01:43:54,879
Speaker 1: mentality article link once more tonight? Please seem to perfectly

1812
01:43:55,160 --> 01:44:00,200
Speaker 1: encompass the left and their approach to debate shields high. Bill. Absolutely, Lee,

1813
01:44:00,320 --> 01:44:03,320
Speaker 1: and you are very helpful. Reminder, I forgot to tweet

1814
01:44:03,360 --> 01:44:04,800
Speaker 1: that out last night. I'll share it with you. The

1815
01:44:04,840 --> 01:44:08,000
Speaker 1: Psychology of Progressive Hostility producer Mike. We gotta put that

1816
01:44:08,080 --> 01:44:09,840
Speaker 1: up on buck sex and dot com and also on

1817
01:44:09,960 --> 01:44:12,559
Speaker 1: Facebook so everyone can read it because I went through

1818
01:44:12,600 --> 01:44:17,200
Speaker 1: it in some detail last night on the show. Uh,

1819
01:44:17,479 --> 01:44:23,160
Speaker 1: let's see what else we have here, Kirk, He writes Buck,

1820
01:44:23,520 --> 01:44:26,600
Speaker 1: thanks for speaking out on Stephen Hawking. Yes, he was

1821
01:44:26,720 --> 01:44:31,160
Speaker 1: brilliant and showed incredible courage persevering through a l s. However,

1822
01:44:31,320 --> 01:44:33,960
Speaker 1: for the left to cast him as the genius of

1823
01:44:34,040 --> 01:44:38,599
Speaker 1: our time regarding astrophysics and the universe is irresponsible. Then again,

1824
01:44:38,680 --> 01:44:40,760
Speaker 1: what's new? I find one of the greatest minds in

1825
01:44:40,800 --> 01:44:44,920
Speaker 1: astrophysics is actually a Jesuit priest father Robert Spitzer. He

1826
01:44:45,040 --> 01:44:49,040
Speaker 1: combines faith and reason. He discusses the expanding universe theory,

1827
01:44:49,200 --> 01:44:53,240
Speaker 1: which even most atheistic scientists are on board with. Simply put,

1828
01:44:53,360 --> 01:44:55,960
Speaker 1: if the universe is expanding constantly, there has to be

1829
01:44:56,080 --> 01:44:58,920
Speaker 1: a beginning. You hear nothing about this in the mainstream

1830
01:44:58,920 --> 01:45:02,679
Speaker 1: because it challenges this sacred big bang. Thanks for speaking

1831
01:45:02,760 --> 01:45:05,240
Speaker 1: up again where it counts. Kirk from Houston, Will Kirk,

1832
01:45:05,320 --> 01:45:08,240
Speaker 1: thank you very much. I'm glad you appreciated me taking

1833
01:45:08,240 --> 01:45:11,719
Speaker 1: a little bit of a diversion or digression into Hawking.

1834
01:45:12,600 --> 01:45:15,400
Speaker 1: And like I said, I I am somebody who you

1835
01:45:15,560 --> 01:45:17,799
Speaker 1: I would not be able to help my future children

1836
01:45:17,880 --> 01:45:20,679
Speaker 1: with their high school geometry homework, but I do read

1837
01:45:20,720 --> 01:45:23,479
Speaker 1: and think a lot about these things. And Hawking has

1838
01:45:23,560 --> 01:45:29,280
Speaker 1: become or became more a media celebrity than a scientist

1839
01:45:29,520 --> 01:45:32,720
Speaker 1: in a lot of ways. All right, here we go.

1840
01:45:32,960 --> 01:45:36,360
Speaker 1: Whoa uh, Jackie writes Buck Love your show, been with

1841
01:45:36,400 --> 01:45:39,439
Speaker 1: you many years now, just listening to last night's show,

1842
01:45:39,720 --> 01:45:41,920
Speaker 1: and I have to speak up. I have a friend

1843
01:45:41,960 --> 01:45:44,000
Speaker 1: who's a flight attendant and always asked her the other

1844
01:45:44,080 --> 01:45:47,560
Speaker 1: side of the story. There's always another side. For the

1845
01:45:47,640 --> 01:45:50,040
Speaker 1: most part, the airlines are not the ones handing down

1846
01:45:50,080 --> 01:45:53,200
Speaker 1: the ridiculous rules and regulations that government is. No, you're you're,

1847
01:45:53,240 --> 01:45:55,080
Speaker 1: I I get it. I know the f a A.

1848
01:45:55,760 --> 01:45:58,400
Speaker 1: Absolutely true. And I'm glad that Jackie is pointing this

1849
01:45:58,520 --> 01:46:01,919
Speaker 1: out because while we come down really hard on the airlines,

1850
01:46:02,320 --> 01:46:05,320
Speaker 1: the really stupid regulations, the ones that are like, don't

1851
01:46:05,439 --> 01:46:08,880
Speaker 1: use your kindle during takeoff because it's gonna interfere with

1852
01:46:09,040 --> 01:46:11,680
Speaker 1: our systems, which is that was the rule for years.

1853
01:46:11,720 --> 01:46:13,960
Speaker 1: They finally got rid of it because it was so stupid.

1854
01:46:14,439 --> 01:46:16,320
Speaker 1: But that comes from the uh, the f A A.

1855
01:46:17,120 --> 01:46:19,840
Speaker 1: And so the f A should get its fair share

1856
01:46:20,040 --> 01:46:23,559
Speaker 1: of hostility as well. And Jackie writes that she has

1857
01:46:23,600 --> 01:46:28,599
Speaker 1: two carpet sharks donut dournut turnut turnut, turnut, turnut turnut

1858
01:46:28,760 --> 01:46:32,880
Speaker 1: carpet sharks. Um check out Caruso the celebrity docks and

1859
01:46:33,000 --> 01:46:35,800
Speaker 1: on Facebook he is quite the celebrity. Love my doxies.

1860
01:46:35,920 --> 01:46:38,920
Speaker 1: Keep up the good work, Thank you, Jackie. And uh,

1861
01:46:39,040 --> 01:46:41,000
Speaker 1: you know, I'm I'm fond of carpet sharks as long

1862
01:46:41,040 --> 01:46:42,519
Speaker 1: as they don't try to eat me. It's when they

1863
01:46:42,560 --> 01:46:47,160
Speaker 1: try to eat me then I get a little sad. Uh. So, oh,

1864
01:46:47,280 --> 01:46:49,880
Speaker 1: we've got an inner. We've got one International team Buck,
