Speaker 1: R A I N. It's a red Shirt Friday and
Speaker 1: I'm going to start out the program tonight by asking
Speaker 1: all of you to write this down. Make sure when
Speaker 1: you can, you wear a red shirt to work or
Speaker 1: to play somewhere on Friday's going forward. And it has
Speaker 1: nothing to do with unions, It has nothing to do
Speaker 1: with any other movement aside from respect. Red shirt Friday's
Speaker 1: are all about remembering the men and women who are
Speaker 1: not just in the military, but deployed. I have a
Speaker 1: friend who started wearing red shirts on Fridays, and he
Speaker 1: said to do We're doing this red shirt Friday's, Red
Speaker 1: Shirt Friday's r e D remember everyone deployed. So do
Speaker 1: me a favor. Get a red shirt out, a T shirt.
Speaker 1: I don't care if it's a golf shirt, a button
Speaker 1: down shirt, a pajama top. Wear a red shirt on
Speaker 1: a Friday. And if you can't do it now for
Speaker 1: the evening, promise me you will do it in the future.
Speaker 1: Promise me you will make the effort to remember everyone deployed,
Speaker 1: because there are so many of them out there, and
Speaker 1: so many of them feel forgotten. And if if somebody
Speaker 1: asks you, hey, what's with the red shirt every Friday?
Speaker 1: Tell them it really is vital. It's well, it's important
Speaker 1: to me, so make me happy. All right, what's on
Speaker 1: the agenda tonight? I want to talk about the president
Speaker 1: and his ability to really light up a crowd. We
Speaker 1: will get into that. There is more news on the
Speaker 1: Inspector General's report into the And I'm going to use
Speaker 1: the word collusion here, the collusion among FBI agents to
Speaker 1: try and meddle in our election. Yes, my language has
Speaker 1: chosen intentionally. I'm talking about page and struck as a
Speaker 1: new batch of memos came out, and we'll talk about
Speaker 1: that with a lawyer and author, Dr Wendy Patrick. You've
Speaker 1: seen her on Fox. She's terrific. And we'll talk with
Speaker 1: Wendy about that just around the corner. And I want
Speaker 1: to talk about some fun stuff today too. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: a Friday, so we should have a little bit of fun.
Speaker 1: And uh, last night triggered my Friday frivolous question. And uh,
Speaker 1: I was gonna call it a frivolous Friday question, but
Speaker 1: the whole night is not going to be frivolous, So
Speaker 1: it's a Friday frivolous question. I was watching Jeopardy, as
Speaker 1: is my wicked custom, and I could not believe that
Speaker 1: the three geniuses who made it through the Jeopardy selection process,
Speaker 1: and it is an arduous process to get to be
Speaker 1: a contestant on a show as Smartest Jeopardy. The three
Speaker 1: individuals totally blanked on this this topic. It was in
Speaker 1: the category of recent stuff. Check it out Recent Stuff
Speaker 1: a thousand. In two thousand seventeen, this x national security
Speaker 1: advisor pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI. Okay, before
Speaker 1: I play the answers. This ex National security advisor pleaded
Speaker 1: guilty to lying to the FBI. You guys know you
Speaker 1: formulate your your answers in the form of a question.
Speaker 1: You know the answer, right, We all know. I'm screaming
Speaker 1: at the TV because in our house, Jeopardy is a
Speaker 1: blood sport every night and has been for the past
Speaker 1: twenty six and a half years. And I'm screaming. My
Speaker 1: wife's going it's unfair because that's like a government question,
Speaker 1: but she destroys me on literature. So anyway, that that's
Speaker 1: the answer. Now, let's give it to you again. So
Speaker 1: I'll give you another second to formulate your answer in
Speaker 1: the form of a question. This ex National security advisor
Speaker 1: pleaded guilty to lyne to the FBI so that it
Speaker 1: was Kelly, Oh, she was Corka. No, it was Michael Flynn.
Speaker 1: They didn't know Michael Flynn. And I thought, my god,
Speaker 1: are these people sleeping in the library. Were they spending
Speaker 1: the last year studying for their Jeopardy test where they
Speaker 1: memorizing world capitals or longest rivers or the other piffle
Speaker 1: that you have to memorize to get to be a
Speaker 1: Jeopardy contestant. At that level, I was stunned. But it
Speaker 1: brought to light a question for me, the frivolous Friday Friday,
Speaker 1: frivolous question, whatever you want to call it. What is
Speaker 1: the greatest game show ever? What's the greatest game show?
Speaker 1: And there are many game shows that have appeared on television,
Speaker 1: many in my long lifetime, and I know I spent
Speaker 1: I am so old. I watched Jeopardy before Alex Trebek
Speaker 1: was the host. I watched Jeopardy and actually almost cost
Speaker 1: myself a great point in my college career because I
Speaker 1: watched it every day in the dorms. And Art Fleming,
Speaker 1: the late Art Fleming, was the host, and the the
Speaker 1: announcer was none other than the guy who gave us
Speaker 1: the snl intro forever and ever and ever, so I
Speaker 1: watched Jeopardy forever. But I want to know from you
Speaker 1: the audience, the buck Sexton audience, and this is one
Speaker 1: of the smartest audiences on radio, as you've proven over
Speaker 1: and over again, and also the was clever. What's the
Speaker 1: greatest game show? And did you ever audition for a
Speaker 1: game show? I did years ago. I did an undercover
Speaker 1: audition to try and get on Wheel of Fortune. I
Speaker 1: was never a Wheel of Fortune guy, and rain Man
Speaker 1: killed it for me. I never wanted to be associated
Speaker 1: with Will of Fortune, but I went through the complete
Speaker 1: process to become a contestant on Wheel of Fortune without
Speaker 1: telling them. I was doing it for a radio station,
Speaker 1: and I made it all the way through because they
Speaker 1: were trying to get younger people. Apparently their demo was
Speaker 1: somewhere in the low to mid sixty year olds, and
Speaker 1: they were trying to freshen up the show and get
Speaker 1: more young contestants. And they were like, you're just what
Speaker 1: we're looking for. You play the game well, and you're
Speaker 1: youthful and you're exuberant. And then I told him what
Speaker 1: I did for a living, and I had to tell
Speaker 1: him who my wife was, and I was declined the
Speaker 1: opportunity to be on Wheel of Fortune because of my wife.
Speaker 1: My wife was a soap opera writer. She worked for
Speaker 1: Procter and Gamble and as such, PNG would exclude me
Speaker 1: from being on Wheel of Fortune because Wheel at that
Speaker 1: time was getting about three million dollars a year in
Speaker 1: contestant prizes from Procter and Gamble. So UH didn't make
Speaker 1: it through the Jeopardy trials. I'm not trying to be
Speaker 1: better and I got scotched from the from the Wheel
Speaker 1: of Fortune trial, so I never got to meet Patt
Speaker 1: and Vannah. But I want to know from you, is
Speaker 1: there is there a game show that you think is
Speaker 1: the greatest game show in the world ever in the
Speaker 1: history of the world. Eight four four nine b u
Speaker 1: c k eight four four buck. One of my crazy
Speaker 1: dreams is for us to actually skip some of the
Speaker 1: presidential debates. I know we have a lot of president
Speaker 1: ential debates, and I believe once the parties choose their candidates,
Speaker 1: once we know who the Democrats and the Republicans and
Speaker 1: the Green Party and the Libertarian Party, once they pick
Speaker 1: their candidates, I think the three biggest teams should face
Speaker 1: off in presidential Jeopardy you know. The categories would be
Speaker 1: like domestic issues, economy, world leaders, all that stuff, and
Speaker 1: round one would be the vice president's Round two Double
Speaker 1: Jeopardy would be the presidential candidates, and the final Jeopardy
Speaker 1: competition would be both guys working together or men and women.
Speaker 1: So it's it's kind of a bizarre dream, I know,
Speaker 1: but at the at the place we are today, with
Speaker 1: the kind of attitude and approach that politicians are taking
Speaker 1: to elections today, I think turning the at least one
Speaker 1: of the debate nights into a game show face off.
Speaker 1: We get to see how smart these guys are men
Speaker 1: and women. We'd get to see how well they work together.
Speaker 1: We get to see them in competitive situations, which we
Speaker 1: don't get to see now, we really don't. The debates
Speaker 1: are very civil. So I would be all for Jeopardy.
Speaker 1: And once again, my vote for the greatest game show
Speaker 1: ever in the history of the world goes to the
Speaker 1: people who are fans of Jeopardy, and I'm sure I'm
Speaker 1: sure most of you smart people agree with me. Right. Also,
Speaker 1: coming up today the next block, we're going to get
Speaker 1: into the latest on the texts between Struck and Page
Speaker 1: and some of the other texts across the FBI platform.
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk a little bit about Monday nights pending
Speaker 1: Supreme Court justice announcement. I kind of thought the President
Speaker 1: was going to leak it last night when he was
Speaker 1: in Montana. We'll talk about the trade war, and I'm
Speaker 1: using air quotes there. I don't know if you're using
Speaker 1: the same thing, but we will talk about the trade war,
Speaker 1: which allegedly began tonight or last night at midnight. Uh.
Speaker 1: We've seen a little bit of wobble from some of
Speaker 1: our European friends, specifically Germany, so we'll try talk about
Speaker 1: trade tensions. Is there a trade war? The economy had
Speaker 1: a good day today. We'll talk about that jobs report
Speaker 1: as well. It's a very good sign and the market
Speaker 1: was up over a hundred thirty points today in the
Speaker 1: face of the trade war. Air quotes right there. So
Speaker 1: there's a lot of my plate today as well as
Speaker 1: my curious fascination with game shows. And I'd like to
Speaker 1: know what yours are. You can do it online on
Speaker 1: Twitter to me, or you can do it on the phone.
Speaker 1: Eight four four d b U c K eight four
Speaker 1: four hundred buck Mike Opelka in for my Buddy Bucks
Speaker 1: at Exton on the Buck Sexton Show. Hello America, Michael
Speaker 1: Pelca is my name? Sitting in from my friend Buck Sexton.
Speaker 1: I hope he's having a great Independence Day extended weekend.
Speaker 1: Anyone else feel like we got short changed and this week,
Speaker 1: you know, we get spoiled with the three day weekend thing.
Speaker 1: But if you have a job that requires you to
Speaker 1: show up to work most days and this midweek Independence
Speaker 1: Day thing hits and you don't really get that extended break,
Speaker 1: I kind of feel like many of us who work
Speaker 1: really long days got got ripped off. We got short changed.
Speaker 1: Enough about Mike Fetching though, we'll we'll get to that later.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm reading today on the Hill a story that
Speaker 1: John Solomon post it that was just just unbelievable. They
Speaker 1: are more texts from the Struck page love texts across
Speaker 1: the FBI platform. More texts were released from congressional investigators,
Speaker 1: and uh, some of these are leaked actually not completely
Speaker 1: released yet. But I want to get into this because
Speaker 1: I get I get really twisted about this, and I
Speaker 1: wonder when are we going to get complete honesty and openness.
Speaker 1: So joining me to discuss is my friend attorney and
Speaker 1: author Dr Wendy Patrick. Wendy can be found at Wendy
Speaker 1: Patrick PhD dot com, but she also can be found
Speaker 1: on television all the time, and right now in the
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show. Hello my friend, how are you good?
Speaker 1: Always a pleasure, Mike. Now, Wendy, I want to get
Speaker 1: into the struck page email thing, but you have to
Speaker 1: answer Tonight's Friday frivolous question greatest game show ever is? Well,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to say the prices right, because that's
Speaker 1: what I grew up with them dating myself. I hate
Speaker 1: to say, Mike, but I'm willing to bet you remember
Speaker 1: that show too. Well, it's still on. They got Drew
Speaker 1: Carey there now. Oh you're kidding me. God, you know
Speaker 1: what we knew what all the grocery items cost when
Speaker 1: we were way too young to ever go shopping. Isn't
Speaker 1: that something? Yeah? It is? And I love me the
Speaker 1: prices right. And I've wandered around the CBS studios in
Speaker 1: Television City when they weren't shooting it and uh, nobody
Speaker 1: was around, so we spun the wheel, you know that
Speaker 1: showcase showdown wheel of course, of course, like a bunch
Speaker 1: of idiots and then I think security heard it and
Speaker 1: came over and go, hey, what are you kids doing?
Speaker 1: Get out of here? All right, let's talk like what
Speaker 1: I remember about that show is I have never seen
Speaker 1: people more excited when their names were called when they
Speaker 1: go Remember when they would pay in the audience and
Speaker 1: somebody's name would call, you would think they won the
Speaker 1: lottery just to have an opportunity to come down and
Speaker 1: guess the value with grocery items. Incredible show it was,
Speaker 1: and the simplest shows are the best. I vote for
Speaker 1: Jeopardy because I'm in a Jeopardy death battle every single day,
Speaker 1: and that's it's just my guilty pleasure on television. But
Speaker 1: we'll we'll save this argument for another day. I want
Speaker 1: to talk about this. Hurry the f up. The new
Speaker 1: emails and texts from Struck to Page and vice versa.
Speaker 1: Are these going to have any effect on any of
Speaker 1: the investigations currently going on, any of the Mueller stuff,
Speaker 1: any of the House investigation, the congressional hearings on this.
Speaker 1: You know, it's a different topic, it's a different issue,
Speaker 1: but it's hard to believe somebody won't find some argument
Speaker 1: that there is some relevance and the reason is you know,
Speaker 1: we've been having a drip of emails coming out. This
Speaker 1: is just the latest batch. The obvious question is why
Speaker 1: didn't these come out earlier? But I gotta tell you
Speaker 1: they're actually could be valid reasons that whoever was seeking
Speaker 1: the emails didn't find these, or somebody didn't disclose them,
Speaker 1: or it just takes a long time sometimes to do
Speaker 1: this type of forensics. But is it relevant to what
Speaker 1: Mueller is focused on? Remember, it's hard. We've gotten so
Speaker 1: far off track, arguably from the original mandate to investigate
Speaker 1: whether there was any collusion, coordination, whatever you want to
Speaker 1: call it, between the Chump campaign and the Russians, that
Speaker 1: almost everything has purported relevance because the investigation seems to
Speaker 1: have broadened, And that's one of the reasons that many
Speaker 1: Americans are saying, hey, let's wrap this up. It's gotten
Speaker 1: way too broad. But it's also gotten broad enough to
Speaker 1: make an email exchange like this arguably relevant and what
Speaker 1: Wendy Patrick is talking about. In this email exchange, there
Speaker 1: are calls from from Struck to his then lover, reported lover,
Speaker 1: and to other agents to hurry the f up with
Speaker 1: their investigation, and one of the quotes in according to
Speaker 1: this story on the Hill from September, shortly before the election. Quote,
Speaker 1: at a minimum, this letter, the letter provides us a
Speaker 1: pretext to interview, and that pretexts a nice excuse, I
Speaker 1: guess to push the fighter warrant a little bit harder.
Speaker 1: This is this It feels like manipulation. Well that's that's
Speaker 1: exactly what the story is about. And it's also showing
Speaker 1: you know, that gave the ability, arguably gave the FBI
Speaker 1: the ability to use some of its power to monitor
Speaker 1: Carter Page. So now that's being tied to the Fighter
Speaker 1: want and many people that do understand that a lot
Speaker 1: came from that warrant in the subsequent surveillance that is
Speaker 1: highly questionable, and that's part of the reason the FBI
Speaker 1: has really been under fire for this. So yeah, a
Speaker 1: story like this just provides even more disturbing details that
Speaker 1: people are looking at in retrospect thinking does this have
Speaker 1: more relevance than people should be giving it to the
Speaker 1: underlying Muller probe. It's a different issue, but you know,
Speaker 1: it is inflammatory, and I think that's why this story
Speaker 1: is getting the attention that it is today, regardless of
Speaker 1: whether we're actually able to tie it into the investigation. Wendy,
Speaker 1: I know if there's a whole lot more to watch.
Speaker 1: We're up against the hard break and you've got a
Speaker 1: Friday coming up, so I can't hold you any longer.
Speaker 1: I appreciate you weighing in on this, Wendy Patrick. She's
Speaker 1: a Price is Right lover and a really smart attorney
Speaker 1: and author. Thank you, my friend Michael Pelka in for
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton. What's your favorite game show? What's the greatest
Speaker 1: game show of all time? He's holding the line for America,
Speaker 1: Buck sex in his back. Well, Buck will be back
Speaker 1: on Monday. Michael Pelka sitting in for my friend Buck Sexton.
Speaker 1: Buck and I go way back to the early early
Speaker 1: early early days of the Blaze, and we were cohorts,
Speaker 1: partners in crime, if you will, worked both on the
Speaker 1: editorial side and on the radio side, and Buck a
Speaker 1: little bit on the TV side. I was not telegenic.
Speaker 1: Apparently they kept me off in the no Pictures section.
Speaker 1: But I spent six and a half years of my
Speaker 1: life at the Blaze, wrote more than three thousand pieces
Speaker 1: and hundreds of hours of radio and it was one
Speaker 1: of the greatest times in my life. And I wish
Speaker 1: the Blaze were as it was in T and thirteen.
Speaker 1: That's just a little bit of reminiscent on this Friday
Speaker 1: after Independence Day, The Friday frivolous question of the day
Speaker 1: is one that has driven buy me. I'm curious about
Speaker 1: your favorite game show. And that's why we're gonna talk
Speaker 1: about the news. We're gonna talk about what's going on
Speaker 1: in the world. But I have to know this audience,
Speaker 1: this audience which Buck reveres, I revere and appreciate you all.
Speaker 1: What is your favorite game show? So call in eight
Speaker 1: four four nine b U c K eight four four
Speaker 1: D Buck Jody in Salt Lake Cities, checking in one
Speaker 1: of my favorite cities in the whole wide world. Hello, Jody,
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Buck Sexton Show. Like a French shoe.
Speaker 1: Oh God, bless you for remembering that phrase. One of
Speaker 1: the dumb things we used to say on the radio
Speaker 1: when I did a Blaze radio show, but I still
Speaker 1: repeat it to others. So yeah, I miss you like
Speaker 1: a front tooth as well. Do you have a favorite
Speaker 1: game show, Jody, Yes, let's make a deal. I always
Speaker 1: thought that was so much fun, the original or do
Speaker 1: you like the new one with is it Wayne Brady.
Speaker 1: Okay show confession time. I have not had a TV
Speaker 1: for almost seven years, so I haven't seen the Wayne Brady.
Speaker 1: I'm talking to old school. We're talking Monty Hall and
Speaker 1: Jay bringing the tray down the aisle. Yes, and the
Speaker 1: goat behind door number three. Oh yeah, Well, the Zonke
Speaker 1: Prize would move around and for those who are not
Speaker 1: aware of what Jody's talking about, the original Let's Make
Speaker 1: a Deal had people dressing like absolute idiots and crazy
Speaker 1: costumes with pun themed outfits, and they would get selected
Speaker 1: by the show's producers to sit in the contestants section
Speaker 1: down in the very front of the studio. And then
Speaker 1: Monty Hall, one of the great game show hosts of
Speaker 1: all time, would wander through the audience and if someone
Speaker 1: caught his eye, he would say, you stand up. If
Speaker 1: you have a hard boiled egg in your back, I'll
Speaker 1: give you a hundred dollars for it. Just ridiculous stuff,
Speaker 1: but they would they would make deals for what's in
Speaker 1: the box, what's behind the curtain? And then door number one, two,
Speaker 1: and three pointed to by Carol Merrill. She was the
Speaker 1: van of White of the sixties and seventies. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: watched a lot of TV. It was a great show
Speaker 1: because you never knew what was going to happen. And
Speaker 1: in believe one of those doors had a donkey behind it.
Speaker 1: And I'm a little younger than you, Mike, not tons
Speaker 1: and tons, but a little younger than you. And I
Speaker 1: don't know why as a kid, having the door reveal
Speaker 1: a donkey, it just made me giggle. Tell I almost
Speaker 1: wet my camps. Well you we always we always at home,
Speaker 1: my brothers and I and sisters. Brothers and sisters and
Speaker 1: I would watch Let's Make a Deal, and we would
Speaker 1: root for the person to get too greedy and get
Speaker 1: a ridiculous zonk price. They were called zonc probably is
Speaker 1: and uh, you just hope because it's the chadenfreude in
Speaker 1: all of us, that ability to take pleasure in the
Speaker 1: displeasure or problems of other people. The Germans gave us
Speaker 1: that word schadenfreude. But yeah, we used to watch that endlessly,
Speaker 1: and especially the last two minutes as the credits were rolling,
Speaker 1: because Monty had pockets full of cash and he would
Speaker 1: wander the audience. Now I'm gonna you do you Your
Speaker 1: TV has been gone for seven years, Jody, you've been
Speaker 1: television free for seven years? Was was um the Deal
Speaker 1: or No Deal show on during your before your TV absence? Yes?
Speaker 1: It was okay and you remember it? Oh yeah? Uh?
Speaker 1: The the host what's his name from Think? Yes, it
Speaker 1: was Howie Mandel was convinced to do that show by
Speaker 1: the guy who came up with the concept. The guy
Speaker 1: talked to him over a sandwich at a Los Angeles
Speaker 1: Delhi and he brought out a briefcase and explained it
Speaker 1: and how he was in from day one and how
Speaker 1: he just three weeks ago has been on the interview
Speaker 1: circuit telling the story that he's thinking about bringing it back,
Speaker 1: and um, well you're gonna have to get a TV then, yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: I'll think about that really really hard. Now. The beauty
Speaker 1: of Deal or No Deal it took no skill, It
Speaker 1: took zero intelligence. It was just random. But do you
Speaker 1: know which of all those women who had the little
Speaker 1: luggage up there? Do you know which famous person who
Speaker 1: also appeared as an actress on one of Stupor Gere's
Speaker 1: favorite TV shows? Do you know which famous person also
Speaker 1: appeared as one of the luggage ladies on Deal or
Speaker 1: No Deal? No? I don't. Meghan Marko really. Yeah, she
Speaker 1: in in the early days of her TV career, how
Speaker 1: he was telling this story, Like I said, just he's
Speaker 1: out on the uh out on the interview trail right now,
Speaker 1: pitching what he's planning on doing. And I was totally stunned.
Speaker 1: And I'm not a guy who likes the royal family.
Speaker 1: I think it's a gigantic joke and I think it's
Speaker 1: a waste of time, etcetera, etcetera. But Meghan Markel the princess.
Speaker 1: Now I guess she's a princess or a duchess or
Speaker 1: something or whatever the heck she is. Yeah, well, absolutely,
Speaker 1: we fought that war. We made that decision two d
Speaker 1: forty two years ago. No thank you. But I I
Speaker 1: just not just in in seventeen three, but again in
Speaker 1: eighteen Well I early remember that time. I'm old, you know,
Speaker 1: and then my memory goes fuzzy after a couple of
Speaker 1: those centuries, but I do. I just thought it was
Speaker 1: fascinating that Megan Markle has been in the public eye
Speaker 1: for so long and holding up. Could you think we
Speaker 1: could even do that show in this era because those
Speaker 1: those ladies, the luggage ladies, were very scantily clad, and
Speaker 1: in this me too, movement era, would you be allowed
Speaker 1: to do that? Now? You know what I think would
Speaker 1: be interesting is to have them come out in full
Speaker 1: Victorian regalia with their little luggage. It's too hot. It's
Speaker 1: too hot, and it's also not hot, and I'm always
Speaker 1: going to be a guy. So, Jody, I'm sorry, but
Speaker 1: I enjoyed. I enjoyed enjoying the luggage, lady. So I'm
Speaker 1: I'm gonna vote no on your I'm opposed to that.
Speaker 1: I'm just thinking, because everyone so over sensitive or do that? Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm going to protect everyone's sensibilities. We're going to address
Speaker 1: the girl from chin to toe and down to the rist,
Speaker 1: and you should be happy. Yeah, why not burkas. All
Speaker 1: we're gonna do is see their their eyes, and then
Speaker 1: we wouldn't be able to give away anything of any
Speaker 1: kind of clues, nobody, language, etcetera. Why not Burker's for
Speaker 1: the Miss America contest to while we're at it, let's
Speaker 1: just put burkers on everybody. Ah, the madness is everywhere.
Speaker 1: This has drifted off course, Jody, but I thank you
Speaker 1: for voting. Your your vote is good. I like others
Speaker 1: to vote as well. I'm getting some text votes from
Speaker 1: people who are saying the Gong Show. Uh, the Gong
Speaker 1: Show was kind of like a talent show. It wasn't
Speaker 1: so much a game show. And Chuck Barriss was kind
Speaker 1: of having fun with the rest of us there. So
Speaker 1: if you want to weigh in on this topic, we'll
Speaker 1: we'll discuss. So what's the frivolous Friday answer to what's
Speaker 1: the greatest game show question? You can dial in? Eight
Speaker 1: four Buck eight four four nine, b U c K
Speaker 1: and Uh. Jody brought up a real interesting point. And
Speaker 1: we're talking about the the women on game shows and
Speaker 1: the me too movement. And last night the President said
Speaker 1: something in his Montana address when he was at the rally.
Speaker 1: President Trump was talking about Elizabeth Warren and her ridiculous self,
Speaker 1: and uh, he called out Senator Warren and also kind
Speaker 1: of jumped on an idea that a candidate against Warren
Speaker 1: in Massachusetts has promoted Dr Shiva. I think his last
Speaker 1: name is pronounced ay Darla. He is an Indian man
Speaker 1: and he says I'm the real Indian, not the fake Indian.
Speaker 1: He's running against war and he has four patents. He's
Speaker 1: the inventor of email, and he has offered her somewhere
Speaker 1: between one and ten million dollars to take the spit
Speaker 1: tests that would show us whether or not she's actually
Speaker 1: a Native American. And uh, Mike, I think you guys
Speaker 1: have the clip there at the studio. Can you play
Speaker 1: the Donald Trump moment talking about Elizabeth Warren polka hotes.
Speaker 1: They always want me to apologize for saying it, and
Speaker 1: I hereby, Oh, no, I want to apologize. I'll use
Speaker 1: tonight polka hots. I apologize to you, I apologize to you,
Speaker 1: I apologize to the to the fake polka hot This
Speaker 1: I want about. I'm gonna get one of those little kids.
Speaker 1: And in the middle of the debate when she proclaims
Speaker 1: that she's of Indian heritage because her mother said she
Speaker 1: has high cheek votes. That's her only evidence that her
Speaker 1: they're set yet high cheek books. We will take that
Speaker 1: little kit and say, but we have to do it
Speaker 1: gently because when the me too generations left to be
Speaker 1: very gentle, and we will say, I will give you
Speaker 1: a million dollars for your favorite charity paid for by
Speaker 1: Trump if you take the test and it shows you're
Speaker 1: an Indian, you know. And the crowd reacted very well
Speaker 1: to that. But the part of that moment that has
Speaker 1: been seized upon by the left leaning media is the
Speaker 1: President gently mocking and I use that term intentionally, gently
Speaker 1: mocking the me Too movement. CNN one so far as
Speaker 1: to have four women on a panel today discussing just
Speaker 1: how sexist and offensive this was, and I just, in
Speaker 1: the words of the millennials, I lost my ability to
Speaker 1: even I just said, come on, guys, you'll say nothing
Speaker 1: about Elizabeth Warren uh culturally appropriating Native Americans and you
Speaker 1: never call her out, and you're mad about Trump making
Speaker 1: a little joke. I know there's some people are gonna
Speaker 1: take exception to that. We can have a conversation on
Speaker 1: that too. Michael Pelka in for my friend Buck Sexton tonight.
Speaker 1: I hope you'll hang out for the entire night. Join
Speaker 1: me eight four four b U c K eight four
Speaker 1: eight four or four nine hundred. Buck got ahead of myself.
Speaker 1: We'll be right back. This is a very special occasion.
Speaker 1: The Godfather himself has been kind enough to grace us
Speaker 1: with his presence. For Godfather is it's his down house,
Speaker 1: he lives there. He steep twenty feet away. Thank you,
Speaker 1: thank you so much, thank you. It's good to be
Speaker 1: back among the the Freedom Hut fans, but Sexton fans,
Speaker 1: Micho Pelca is my name, sitting in from my friend
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton on this Friday night. We have a frivolous
Speaker 1: Friday question for you. What's the greatest game show? And
Speaker 1: uh I want to talk more about that, me to
Speaker 1: comment from the president and on the statue of liberty invasion.
Speaker 1: But first I have to tell you about the Global

Speaker 1: so important. And all employees are located throughout the United States,
Speaker 1: so you're not going to get a phone room somewhere
Speaker 1: in the Namibia. So check out Global Verification Network. They
Speaker 1: are friends of this show. And again, the only dual
Speaker 1: certified veteran owned background investigations and vetting company my g
Speaker 1: VN dot com or Callumn eight seven seven eleven, have
Speaker 1: any nine. Okay, now let's get back to my question.
Speaker 1: It's an important question. Yeah, we're gonna talk about the
Speaker 1: president and what he said, and we're gonna talk about
Speaker 1: what the President said in Montana last night and how
Speaker 1: the left has lost its mind. But some of you
Speaker 1: are checking in on the question. George and Panama City,
Speaker 1: welcome to the program. Hey, how you doing? You tell
Speaker 1: me I'm having fun, but you know I tend to
Speaker 1: go off the rails every now and then. Well it's
Speaker 1: the Friday. You're allowed to you brother, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 1: Game show preference for you, George. Uh, you know I
Speaker 1: gotta go with the all time faved Jeopardy. I agree
Speaker 1: with you there, but one I thought was of notable
Speaker 1: mention The Joker's Wild, And I mean not the remake
Speaker 1: with Snoop Dogg, although that's not bad. I like the
Speaker 1: original with Mr Barry. I like it too, And you know,
Speaker 1: it's just fun to yell Joker, Joker, Joker. It's a
Speaker 1: triple good times, good times. Well, thank you George for
Speaker 1: Wayne and Jeopardy getting a lot of big points. Let's
Speaker 1: wander over to Wheeling, West Virginia. Is it, Dana? Donna
Speaker 1: helped me out, Donna, It's like sauna, you know, like
Speaker 1: if you're going to get all like nice and warm. Yes,
Speaker 1: I like it. I like on a Friday. I like
Speaker 1: where you're going, Donna. My parents made it up. So anyway,
Speaker 1: it's so obviously I'm older than dirt, but I remember password?
Speaker 1: Do you remember? You know you're too young? The password
Speaker 1: is password is like the beginning of what became twenty
Speaker 1: dollar pyramid kind of thing. Yeah, somebody supersized password and
Speaker 1: made the pyramid out of it. Yeah, that's the idea.
Speaker 1: They did supersize it because in the day, I mean,
Speaker 1: he didn't win all that much. But the important thing
Speaker 1: is Alan Ludden was post l U D E N
Speaker 1: and he had never been married. And Betty White was
Speaker 1: one you know, like you see on twenty dollar Pyramid,
Speaker 1: you know one of the stars has given clues for password. Yeah, sure,
Speaker 1: I remember it. They fell in love, they got married,
Speaker 1: they were married for like, I think thirty five years,
Speaker 1: and then he passed away and she's never remarried and
Speaker 1: now she's like ninety four. That's one of the greatest
Speaker 1: Hollywood love stories. And you're absolutely right, Mife. My late
Speaker 1: mother used to point to password now Luddon. She said,
Speaker 1: you know who he's married to. He's married to that
Speaker 1: Betty White and they met on the show. And I'm like, yes,
Speaker 1: that's how it happened. That's absolutely how that Originally. Alan
Speaker 1: Luddon originally started in Miami, Florida, at a local Team
Speaker 1: V station before he got on to the Password in Nationalness, Donna,
Speaker 1: I'm up against the sorrows wall, so I gotta say
Speaker 1: thank you for that wonderful story, and let's keep it going.
Speaker 1: In the second hour The Buck Sexton Show. Michael Pelka
Speaker 1: in for Buck. Come on back. Buck Sexton Mission, Decoding
Speaker 1: the news and disseminating information with actionable intelligence. Make no
Speaker 1: mistake American, You're a great American Again. This is the
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show. No, it is Michael Pelka in for
Speaker 1: the guy who gets all the phraise and credit in
Speaker 1: that intro. Buck is my friend. Buck is a former
Speaker 1: colleague from my days at the Blaze dot Com and
Speaker 1: the Blaze Radio, and he's We've remain friends. We were
Speaker 1: kindred spirits in the early days of Buck's radio career
Speaker 1: and I looked up to him. He always thanks me
Speaker 1: for the help I gave him, but I have to
Speaker 1: tell you it really was more the other way around
Speaker 1: for me. So I'm really happy to be here with
Speaker 1: this audience, an audience I consider to be really some
Speaker 1: of the smartest people that I encounter. And I do
Speaker 1: a lot of radio all over the country, and many
Speaker 1: of you follow me, so I'm very appreciative of that.
Speaker 1: Let's have some fun tonight. Let's have a conversation tonight.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about serious stuff and silly stuff. Eight four
Speaker 1: or four Buck is the phone number if you want
Speaker 1: to weigh in eight four four d b U c K.
Speaker 1: Last night, the President mocked Elizabeth Warren, challenging her to
Speaker 1: take a DNA test, and he mentioned the the Me
Speaker 1: Too movement, and immediately immediately the offender nista us reached
Speaker 1: for their big lighters and their hairspray and lit their
Speaker 1: hair on fire and began running around the room screaming
Speaker 1: at the top of their lungs. How dare he trivialized
Speaker 1: this movement? Well, I think we've seen a lot of
Speaker 1: people trivialize the Me too movement. The Me Too movement
Speaker 1: has valid roots. The Me Too movement has really important
Speaker 1: things to say. The Me Too movement has taken down
Speaker 1: some pretty bad folks. Harvey Weinstein looks like he's going
Speaker 1: to spend possibly the rest of his life in prison
Speaker 1: for all of the horrible stuff he did. And so
Speaker 1: there have been successes from the Me Too movement, but
Speaker 1: there are also abuses of it, like we have with
Speaker 1: any movement that just has I go back to the
Speaker 1: days that Buck and I spent in Occupy Wall Street,
Speaker 1: the days the time we spent among that group of
Speaker 1: offending eastas that group of lost souls in Zukkati Park,
Speaker 1: who had no idea what the heck they were doing,
Speaker 1: absolutely none, and that movement died because there was no center,
Speaker 1: There was no real concrete purpose, and the Me Too
Speaker 1: movement has a lot of squishy edges. I think they
Speaker 1: could boil it down and really achieve some some good things.
Speaker 1: But the President Pope fund at the me too movement
Speaker 1: last night, and now women who Democratic women, liberal women
Speaker 1: who already have a problem because he denied them their
Speaker 1: pants suit party after November that they're using every opportunity
Speaker 1: to express their offend anista anger. And I keep repeating
Speaker 1: offend anista because it's a word in the Urban Dictionary
Speaker 1: that this show host created, so if you want to
Speaker 1: look it up, you can see it. Offend Anista's that's
Speaker 1: what I call him. Anyone who wakes up every single
Speaker 1: morning looking for something to just get angry by out
Speaker 1: and many times it's just not that serious. But in
Speaker 1: the case of the Me Too movement, there are legitimate
Speaker 1: me two gripes. And you're gonna hear this now all
Speaker 1: weekend long. You're gonna hear people saying, my god, I
Speaker 1: can't believe he mocked the Me Too movement. No, he
Speaker 1: was really mocking Elizabeth Warren and the lie that the
Speaker 1: Left has allowed her to get away with forever and
Speaker 1: ever and ever. It really was about that. So you
Speaker 1: can try and tear it down, but you're not going
Speaker 1: to be able to diminish the reality. Elizabeth Warren lied,
Speaker 1: and she used the cultural appropriation of a Native American
Speaker 1: person in order to benefit, in order to make herself
Speaker 1: look better and to make her career better. Don't get
Speaker 1: me started on pow wow chow. Just craziness. So tone
Speaker 1: it down against the Trumpster on this one now. I
Speaker 1: will tell you that was a really odd moment last
Speaker 1: night in Montana, and I have to share this with you.
Speaker 1: There are times and I voted for Donald Trump. I'm
Speaker 1: raising my hand right now and saying, yes, I voted
Speaker 1: for Donald Trump. Was he my first choice? No, I
Speaker 1: was a Ted Cruse guy. I am a Rand Paul guy.
Speaker 1: I liked the Constitution. I like strict adherence to the Constitution.
Speaker 1: I also like a lot of the libertarianism. I'm a
Speaker 1: big fan of less government equals more freedom, and I
Speaker 1: love me some freedom. But I voted for Donald Trump proudly,
Speaker 1: openly because I knew the Supreme Court would be a
Speaker 1: thing I knew based on what was going to happen,
Speaker 1: that God forbid Hillary Clinton gets in the Supreme Court.
Speaker 1: Her first pick would have been much farther left of
Speaker 1: Merrick Garland, the guy that Obama nominated, and Mitch McConnell
Speaker 1: managed to use a procedural block to keep the guy
Speaker 1: off the court. So I voted for Trump. But when
Speaker 1: he says stuff that I disagree with, I have to
Speaker 1: point it out. I have to. And last night, in
Speaker 1: the middle of this Montana event, the President was feeling
Speaker 1: kind of lucy goosie. The night before he had watched
Speaker 1: the fireworks on the White House lawn for the second year.
Speaker 1: And you've got to be thinking, this is my life.
Speaker 1: I'm Donald Trump, I'm the President of the United States.
Speaker 1: I'm moving and grooving. We got the economy on fire.
Speaker 1: We'll get to the jobs numbers a little bit later.
Speaker 1: And he was just kind of having fun, and then
Speaker 1: he started into one of the weirdest things and setting
Speaker 1: out life's gotta be kicking itself because they missed an opportunity.
Speaker 1: I know, they get the summer off. Lauren Michaels and
Speaker 1: his buddies are all out in the Hamptons with their
Speaker 1: feet up on the deck looking at the ocean. But
Speaker 1: they missed an opportunity by taking these long summers off,
Speaker 1: especially when Donald Trump is doing as many rallies as
Speaker 1: he can't just listen to this little rant about the
Speaker 1: audience size. I have broken more Elton John records. He
Speaker 1: seems to have a lot of records, and we beat
Speaker 1: and I, by the way, I don't have a musical instrument.
Speaker 1: I don't have a guitar or organ the organ. Elton
Speaker 1: has an organ and lots of other people helping. No,
Speaker 1: we've broken a lot of records. We've broken virtually every
Speaker 1: record because you know, look, I only need this space.
Speaker 1: They need much more room for basketball, for hockey, for
Speaker 1: all the sports. They need a lot of room. We
Speaker 1: don't need it. We have people in that space. So
Speaker 1: we break all these records. But really we do it
Speaker 1: without like the musical instruments. This is the only musical
Speaker 1: the mouth and hopefully the brain attached to the mouth. Right,
Speaker 1: The brain more important in the mouth is the brain.
Speaker 1: The brain is much more important. I agree. The brain
Speaker 1: is much more important and as entertaining as that is. Boy,
Speaker 1: that would have been absent lutely red meat for Alec Baldwin,
Speaker 1: wouldn't it. They could have had a blast with that.
Speaker 1: But that was the President last night, the odd rant
Speaker 1: about Elton John And you know what, they're gonna replay
Speaker 1: that clip about the organ and then they're gonna get
Speaker 1: the brain in there and you're gonna see a hand joke.
Speaker 1: It's all gonna be there. So just a little moment
Speaker 1: from last night. The President also brought up the topic
Speaker 1: we covered in the first hour about Peter Struck, the
Speaker 1: FBI agent, And this was before we got the news
Speaker 1: from that Hill report today about the additional emails and texts.
Speaker 1: How about that FBI agents? How about that guy? Do
Speaker 1: you think he likes me? Do you think he liked me?
Speaker 1: Think there was just a little bias there, a little bit?
Speaker 1: Oh didn't we catch them in the act. It's a
Speaker 1: rigged deal, folks, It's a rig deal. I used to
Speaker 1: say it. It's a rigged d l Yes, it is
Speaker 1: a disgrace. And I wish somebody would publish all of
Speaker 1: the texts together in a timeline so we could read
Speaker 1: it as it happened. I think that would be a
Speaker 1: fascinating book and that's got to be public domain, doesn't it,
Speaker 1: Because those are government papers. Maybe we'll see that. They
Speaker 1: would have to remove all the redactions though, to make
Speaker 1: it an interesting story. And uh. The President also talked
Speaker 1: about how much we love ice and referenced the event
Speaker 1: on the fourth of July at the Statue of Liberty.
Speaker 1: You saw that clown yesterday on the Statue of Liberty.
Speaker 1: You see the guys that went up there. I wouldn't
Speaker 1: have done it. I would have said, let's get some nuts,
Speaker 1: said let's wait till she comes, just get some nuts.
Speaker 1: I agree. I agree. My wife and I were watching
Speaker 1: that woman stand up and try and avoid the police,
Speaker 1: the emergency services units from the NYPD get up there
Speaker 1: and try and get her off the pedestal, and I said,
Speaker 1: you know, why don't they just leave her up there?
Speaker 1: She got herself up there, let herself get herself down.
Speaker 1: Just put some of those inflatable bags down there. No,
Speaker 1: they had to go up and get her. And the
Speaker 1: about four hours into it, she finally allowed them to
Speaker 1: bring her down. And I said to my wife, look,
Speaker 1: they're they're bringing her down. She's finally given up. And
Speaker 1: and she brilliantly surmised the reason, the probable reason. She said,
Speaker 1: the woman had to pee. She'd been up there three
Speaker 1: and a half four hours, and as someone who's driven
Speaker 1: across the nation with my wife, I realized she was
Speaker 1: a spot on. But the President continued giving props to
Speaker 1: the people who got her down. You see those guys,
Speaker 1: the bravery of doing that. What a group, Yeah, what
Speaker 1: a group. They've put their lives at risk for this
Speaker 1: jack wagon whose name I will not give the press.
Speaker 1: She was up there protesting, and her protests. There's a
Speaker 1: free speech zone on Liberty Island. She had every opportunity
Speaker 1: to stand in the free speech zone and go after
Speaker 1: whatever policy she wanted to go after, and her group
Speaker 1: did so, but she decided to make it a bigger deal,
Speaker 1: and then Liberty Island was evacuated. Three thousand people lost
Speaker 1: the opportunity to climb the Statue of Liberty. If you've
Speaker 1: ever done it, it's one of the most American things
Speaker 1: you can ever do. It takes weeks and months to
Speaker 1: get a reservation to get into that that statue, to
Speaker 1: go through the security that's tougher than most airport security,
Speaker 1: and then you have to climb all the way up
Speaker 1: to the Crown. It is amazing. But this one woman
Speaker 1: took it upon herself to deny all the people who
Speaker 1: probably planned months ahead made their trips to New York
Speaker 1: to be in the Statue of Liberty on Independence Day,
Speaker 1: but no, this selfish jack Wagon had to block their experience.
Speaker 1: Don't get me started. And now I'm betting we're gonna
Speaker 1: have new security procedures because you're allowed to take the
Speaker 1: ferry boat out to Liberty Island and to Ellis Island,
Speaker 1: which they're very close without going through security. You want
Speaker 1: to bet the Homeland Security is going to add a new,
Speaker 1: a new funnel of security that we all have to
Speaker 1: go through when we want to go out to Ellis
Speaker 1: Island or to Liberty Island. Thank you very much, jack Wagon.
Speaker 1: I gotta take a break, and you know that before
Speaker 1: I go away, I want you to write down the
Speaker 1: phone number eight four buck eight four four d buck.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the Statue of Liberty. Let's talk about
Speaker 1: free speech. So let's talk about the greatest game show ever.

Speaker 1: Michael Pelka in for my friend, my buddy Buck Sexton Tonight.
Speaker 1: Buck will be back on Monday, and of course Monday
Speaker 1: night's a big night. The President announces his Supreme Court nomineque.
Speaker 1: Got it down to three candidates from what we're told,
Speaker 1: and uh, I'm hoping he picks the lady from Chicago,
Speaker 1: the justice from Chicago. We'll get into that in a
Speaker 1: little bit. I've got a couple of other issues we
Speaker 1: need to get to. Tonight. We're talking news, and we're
Speaker 1: getting serious on news, but we're also having fun. It's
Speaker 1: a Friday, so let's have a little frivolity. Those of
Speaker 1: you who follow me on Twitter at stunt Brain. At
Speaker 1: stunt Brain know that I like to ask what I
Speaker 1: call vital questions, and I am including air quotes when
Speaker 1: I say vital questions, and in the vital Question Frivolous
Speaker 1: Friday department, today, I'm asking simply, what's the greatest game
Speaker 1: show ever? I believe it's Jeopardy. I'm a fan of
Speaker 1: many different game shows, and uh, I kind of feel
Speaker 1: like many on the left are looking at Donald Trump
Speaker 1: and thinking the Supreme Court has become a game show
Speaker 1: for him. He's already made appointment television for Monday night
Speaker 1: at nine o'clock. I just say, the president knows how
Speaker 1: to own the news cycle, and he's doing a great
Speaker 1: job on it. The next ten days of the news
Speaker 1: cycle belonged to Donald J. Trump. We'll get into that.
Speaker 1: I'll break that down for you in just a few minutes,
Speaker 1: but I gotta check in with Pat from Ithaca, New York. Pat,
Speaker 1: Welcome to the buck Sexton Show. How are you. I'm well,
Speaker 1: Mr and bantor well, thank you, Thank you. Pat. Is
Speaker 1: for those of you who don't know, there is a
Speaker 1: new country on the planet. It is four square miles
Speaker 1: of dirt on the Danube River that sits between Serbia
Speaker 1: and Croatia. It is known as the Free Republic of
Speaker 1: libor Land. I call it Liberland, the Free Republic of Liberland,
Speaker 1: and it was dedicated about three years ago by my buddy,
Speaker 1: the president of the country. Wheat yet lichka and uh.
Speaker 1: My interest in this country because it's based on Thomas
Speaker 1: Jefferson's principles, Jeffersonian principles. My interest in the country is
Speaker 1: very deep, and as such, I've been a supporter of
Speaker 1: libor Land, and I have been given a diplomatic status.
Speaker 1: I'm a cultural Ambassador to the Free Republic of liber
Speaker 1: Land and am also a dual citizenship, which I have
Speaker 1: to ask Buck because I think that disqualifies me for
Speaker 1: service in our intelligence community. I need to ask Buck
Speaker 1: the next time I see him. Somebody told me that.
Speaker 1: But Pat, you're a game show fan, well used to be.
Speaker 1: I'm kind of like a previous color except we have
Speaker 1: not had TV and much much longer than seven years.
Speaker 1: But I have a little bit of a fun story
Speaker 1: about criticism the Game show. But it was a fun
Speaker 1: show about candid camera. Um My, I haven't I have
Speaker 1: Allen Funt signature in my mother's autograph book because um
Speaker 1: Alan Funts, I believe went to Cornell here in Ithaca
Speaker 1: and he rented a room from my grandmother on Cornell Street,
Speaker 1: and my mom had this our graph book and I
Speaker 1: have her our graph book with Allen Funt's signature in
Speaker 1: it when he was at Cornell. So I just thought
Speaker 1: you'd love that little piece of trivia. I do love
Speaker 1: that little piece of trivia. But let's talk about Ithaca
Speaker 1: and Cornell and is it Ithaca College up there as well. Yes,
Speaker 1: is that bridge my dad took us to Upstate New
Speaker 1: York when we were kids. He called it the Kissing Bridge,
Speaker 1: And I wonder if they're still allowed to cross that bridge. Uh,
Speaker 1: if a woman was caught crossing this bridge, according to
Speaker 1: my dad, who was the most honorable guy I know,
Speaker 1: if a woman was caught alone on the Kissing Bridge,
Speaker 1: she had to pay a toll of a kiss before
Speaker 1: she could get across. That's got to have gone the
Speaker 1: way of the buffalo, right, you know. I don't know
Speaker 1: if it's still current. But when my than and I
Speaker 1: were dating with at that point, that was in the
Speaker 1: mid eighties, um he um, the custom there was that
Speaker 1: you had to kiss your girlfriend in the middle of
Speaker 1: the bridge, and all right, I guess the custom changes
Speaker 1: over the years. And now they have to put these
Speaker 1: nets under all the prisudents because people jump, So who knows,
Speaker 1: I mean, mayn't even let people cross anymore. That's a
Speaker 1: good point. It's a beautiful part of the world, one
Speaker 1: of my favorite parts of Upstate New York. I visited
Speaker 1: there more than once. We drove back through there just
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. I've got about thirty seconds left.
Speaker 1: Pet did you want to name a game show that
Speaker 1: you if you had a TV you would watch? Oh? Currently,
Speaker 1: probably not. Actually I don't know, but you know, I
Speaker 1: used to think Hollywood Squares was fun. It was fun,
Speaker 1: and as I may have mentioned earlier, my heart was
Speaker 1: broken when I learned that they were given all those
Speaker 1: funny answers there were writers, so Paul Lynn wasn't quite
Speaker 1: that funny. Michael Pelka in for Buck Sexton, We've got
Speaker 1: more to do and you need to stick around. We'll
Speaker 1: be right back. The Threat is a new hit podcast
Speaker 1: from Azzi Media that explores history surprising connections in order
Speaker 1: to discover how one thing leads to another, like how
Speaker 1: John Lennon's murder connects all the way back to communist
Speaker 1: leader Vladimir Lenin. Get it on iHeart Radio or wherever
Speaker 1: you listen. He's back with you now, because when it
Speaker 1: comes to the fight for truth, the fuck never stops.
Speaker 1: Michael Pelka and for my friend Buck Sexton, Tonight Buckleby
Speaker 1: back on Monday, taking a little bit of an extended
Speaker 1: Independence Day holiday, and uh, I've got things to talk about.
Speaker 1: We talked earlier about the President and his me to
Speaker 1: comment last night that the left has lost its mind
Speaker 1: over I contend Donald Trump knows everything he's doing. He
Speaker 1: knows when he's going to be able to troll the left,
Speaker 1: and he he knows how to get it done. And
Speaker 1: so that little five seconds of a me too mention
Speaker 1: might have been ten seconds, has taken CNN off its game,
Speaker 1: has taken MSNBC out of it's it's a tax zone
Speaker 1: on other things. And combine that with the economic news
Speaker 1: of the day today, with the numbers that came out
Speaker 1: we were expecting this morning. I got up early, and
Speaker 1: I'm watching the markets and I'm reading the reports, and
Speaker 1: we were expecting about a hundred and eighty nine to
Speaker 1: a hundred and ninety two thousand jobs, and that number
Speaker 1: was beaten by about ten percent? Was it two hundred
Speaker 1: thousand jobs? And we'll dive into that because that that's
Speaker 1: an important story. But I have a little bit of
Speaker 1: breaking news. If you followed me and listen to my
Speaker 1: radio show over the last few years, you know my
Speaker 1: connection to our veterans, and you know my real connection
Speaker 1: to the problem we have losing veterans. Two veterans each
Speaker 1: day take their own lives. It's one of the greatest
Speaker 1: shames of this country that we aren't able to wrap
Speaker 1: our arms around our vets and take care of them
Speaker 1: with the medical care, the psychiatric care, whatever, and that
Speaker 1: somebody would be so desperate that they would have to
Speaker 1: take their own life after brave, bravely serving this country.
Speaker 1: It breaks my heart and that's why I also encourage
Speaker 1: you on Friday's Friday's wear a red shirt to remember
Speaker 1: everyone deployed. That's what that red shirt Friday stands for.
Speaker 1: Going forward, write it down, send yourself a note, remember
Speaker 1: everyone employed. I have a buddy who I followed for
Speaker 1: just about a year as he after he returned from
Speaker 1: service to this country, spent over a decade in the
Speaker 1: military and was also taken aback by the surprising number
Speaker 1: of suicides among our veterans. He decided to make a statement,
Speaker 1: and so, in response to the twenty two per day
Speaker 1: who were taking their own lives, he walked miles from
Speaker 1: his home in Tennessee all the way to the Pacific Ocean,
Speaker 1: and he did most of it by himself. It was
Speaker 1: a lonely journey at times. It was a difficult journey
Speaker 1: as he went through parts of Dallas during the winter months,
Speaker 1: and it was really cold. He spent nights on the road,
Speaker 1: very few nights in in tiny hotels, cheap hotels. Sometimes
Speaker 1: people took him in, but he made it all the
Speaker 1: way to the West coast, and it wasn't about making money.
Speaker 1: It was about bringing attention to the plight of our vets.
Speaker 1: And if you don't know Ernesto Rodriguez, our friend nerd
Speaker 1: Nesto on the Twitter. That's right, his name is nerd
Speaker 1: Neesto because he openly admits. He freely admits to being
Speaker 1: a nerd. Follow him at nerd Neesto. But Ernesto is
Speaker 1: onto a new project and I asked him could he
Speaker 1: spend a little time with us on a Friday night.
Speaker 1: How are you, my friend, doing well? You sound good.
Speaker 1: I've been following you on Twitter and you're taking on
Speaker 1: a serious topic again, but you sound really good and positive,
Speaker 1: and I'm not gonna kid you. I know you talk
Speaker 1: about the struggles that everybody who served this country can
Speaker 1: go through at times. But I do worry about you,
Speaker 1: but I'm proud of the way you take on the
Speaker 1: troubles that so many of our veteran community are dealing with.
Speaker 1: Tell us about your latest project, yeah, of course, UM,
Speaker 1: I have to. You know, the reason I'm in such
Speaker 1: high spirits is because in an environment where I am now,
Speaker 1: you have to be high spirits or or you will
Speaker 1: quit very quickly. UM. I've actually elected to be homeless
Speaker 1: for a year and live in an encampment in Tucson,
Speaker 1: Arizona that is run and uh overseen by homeless veterans. Um.
Speaker 1: Very similar to a military structure. Actually, uh. And I'm
Speaker 1: documenting the time here. I'm filming here, and I'm also
Speaker 1: writing um a journal as as I go through this
Speaker 1: three and sixt or five days of being a homeless veteran.
Speaker 1: So you gave away or sold all of your possessions
Speaker 1: back home and are in an encampment in Arizona. Yes,
Speaker 1: it's in Tucson, Arizona. UM. I I gave up most
Speaker 1: of my things, not everything. A lot of this stuff
Speaker 1: is in storage. UM. But I gave up my apartment.
Speaker 1: I did not bring a car with me because I
Speaker 1: I felt if I did bring a car with me,
Speaker 1: I would be tempted to get in my car and
Speaker 1: immediately leave. UM. And I've been here for three three
Speaker 1: days and as as as this experiences, you know, very
Speaker 1: unique Uh, it's it's also very very rough, especially at
Speaker 1: being July and Tucson. Yeah. I was just gonna say,
Speaker 1: you know, you pick really difficult weather to put yourself through,
Speaker 1: and it gets hot in Tucson, and anybody who says
Speaker 1: it's a dry heat doesn't understand just how hot it
Speaker 1: is inside the oven that is Arizona. But you, Um,
Speaker 1: last night, ERNESSA and I were trying to connect to
Speaker 1: set this up for tonight, and um, you sent me
Speaker 1: a message. And sometimes I think you don't understand how
Speaker 1: impactful your words are and how powerful the things you
Speaker 1: were experiencing are to others. And I said, can we
Speaker 1: talk because I want to preview this, And so we
Speaker 1: didn't get a chance to talk because you said, sorry,
Speaker 1: I was in a tunnel picking up heroin needles. Um. Correct.
Speaker 1: My My first reaction is, what the hell You're in
Speaker 1: a homeless camp filled with veterans and apparently there's also
Speaker 1: a heroin problem. Yeah. I mean, so the camp that
Speaker 1: I'm in is is in a in an area where
Speaker 1: the homeless population is large. It's not only veterans here,
Speaker 1: there's also civilians and uh, during these hot months, a
Speaker 1: lot of a lot of the law of the civilian homeless, Uh,
Speaker 1: take refuge in the tunnel. You know that the washes
Speaker 1: and the tunnels down here, and some of them have
Speaker 1: substance to these problems, and you know there is there
Speaker 1: is some addiction here. But the veterans to live in
Speaker 1: this camp as well as volved. Here's go through the
Speaker 1: tunnels to make sure that um those needles are picked up,
Speaker 1: to make sure nobody steps on that and contracts anything,
Speaker 1: and so that they can't be reused, um to to
Speaker 1: prevent the spread of diseasier. I want everybody to just
Speaker 1: marinate in what Ernesto just said. These are homeless veterans
Speaker 1: who are part of a camp, who are living in
Speaker 1: very desperate situations, but at the core of their being,
Speaker 1: at the core of their their's their center. These homeless
Speaker 1: fetes also continue to serve this nation by going out
Speaker 1: and cleaning up the heroin needles, cleaning up the areas
Speaker 1: where the other homeless people who may not or may
Speaker 1: or may not be veterans, but they have a substance
Speaker 1: abuse problem. And you know, if you take away those needles,
Speaker 1: we're gonna maybe stem some of the spread of disease
Speaker 1: that goes through the ivy drug use community. And these
Speaker 1: folks who are in many ways, uh destitute in terms
Speaker 1: of comparison to the average American, they're still serving this country.
Speaker 1: They're still going out and helping keep their community safe
Speaker 1: and clean. That that one line. Sorry, I was in
Speaker 1: a tunnel picking up heroin needles just gut punched me
Speaker 1: last night. Now, you're gonna be in this community for
Speaker 1: a year or nest, So you've got three hundred and
Speaker 1: sixty two days more to spend there. You don't have
Speaker 1: a car, you don't really have a means of support,
Speaker 1: are you. Are you part of a leadership group or
Speaker 1: you just kind of folding into the group of vets there.
Speaker 1: So they have a rank structure here. They have a commander,
Speaker 1: they have a head of security. Um, I'm embetting myself.
Speaker 1: I've also volunteered my time, so I will be providing
Speaker 1: security for the camp as well. Uh that the vets
Speaker 1: here take shifts to make sure that the camp stays
Speaker 1: safe at night, especially because of the neighborhood that we're in. UM,
Speaker 1: I feel very safe here. I actually brought my two
Speaker 1: beautiful quarities with me. I needed in this time for
Speaker 1: the emotional support that I can't. I don't think I
Speaker 1: could do this without them. UM. But there is a
Speaker 1: rank structure. I'm really here to observe UH and to
Speaker 1: watch how how the year unfull. UM. But of course
Speaker 1: UH to be UH to tell the truth about what
Speaker 1: this camp does and how it runs, you have to
Speaker 1: have boots on ground. You actually have to experience it
Speaker 1: in bed in it and and and live it. UM.
Speaker 1: I've seen a couple of times i've been here, I've
Speaker 1: seen a couple of reporters. They come in for a
Speaker 1: day or two and UH. And I've seen some of
Speaker 1: the articles, of the proofs of some of the articles,
Speaker 1: and it's a little um biased, just because they weren't
Speaker 1: here for very long. UH. And I want to make
Speaker 1: sure that when I write, UM, what I'm writing, it's
Speaker 1: it's trull um and I get the full experience of
Speaker 1: the begin Is there any helping given to the veterans
Speaker 1: who are there by the v A. Is there any
Speaker 1: outreach from the local VA to bring support to these
Speaker 1: veterans or do they have to go to a clinic
Speaker 1: if they need help? Uh. There are a few veterans
Speaker 1: fear that do have the a um UH endorsement or
Speaker 1: they are actually retired veterans, so they get medical when
Speaker 1: they need it. But UM, I mean we have amputees here,
Speaker 1: we have people in wheelchairs. UM, we have um, you know,
Speaker 1: people who are are going through substance abuse problems now
Speaker 1: and they're trying to get clean. So they stay in
Speaker 1: this camp. So they have the community behind them for
Speaker 1: the support because at the end of the day, veterans
Speaker 1: always help veterans. And uh, and the three days that
Speaker 1: I've been here, I've I've been seeing it. Every day.
Speaker 1: I've seen able bodied veterans come out and push the
Speaker 1: disabled veterans with wheelchairs around to ensure that they can
Speaker 1: get to chow or to you know, shower or whatever
Speaker 1: they need to do. And the community actually here has
Speaker 1: rallied a lot. Um. They do have a m a
Speaker 1: good support system. When it comes to the community. People
Speaker 1: will come here with fuel to few look generators, uh
Speaker 1: to allow them to keep their food cold in the refrigerator.
Speaker 1: They soo have people come and bring ice and water,
Speaker 1: though it's sometimes scarce. For example, right now, UH, we're
Speaker 1: very low on fuel means the generators are about to
Speaker 1: go out. UM, and there's no ice at the moment.
Speaker 1: So right now we're drinking weak warm water. We're talking
Speaker 1: with a radio friend of mine, but a guy I
Speaker 1: have boundless respect for. He served this nation bravely for
Speaker 1: more than a decade. His name is Ernesto Rodriguez. We
Speaker 1: know him on Twitter at nerd Nasto. But he's embedded
Speaker 1: himself in a homeless veterans camp outside of Tucson, Arizona. Ernesto,
Speaker 1: what can we do? How can we help right now?
Speaker 1: I know you're going to spend a year observing and
Speaker 1: trying to bring more attention to it, But what can
Speaker 1: we do now? Did I lose you? Hello? And I
Speaker 1: was ask and just what can we do now for
Speaker 1: you guys? Yeah? So they have a page if you
Speaker 1: look up camp conklin c O N k l I
Speaker 1: N they have a page and usually they'll update on
Speaker 1: things they need. So if they say they need ice
Speaker 1: ort fuel, Um, I've donated a few gas cards myself.
Speaker 1: That way they can take a cart over to the
Speaker 1: local gas station and up the five gallon drums of
Speaker 1: fuel so that they can keep the electricity and the
Speaker 1: camp running. Okay, just yeah, really, it's it's it's Tucson.
Speaker 1: It's blazing hot. There's no you know, there's no break
Speaker 1: from the heat. You're an attempt, you're sweating, you're outside,
Speaker 1: you're being hit by the sun constantly, really honestly good
Speaker 1: vibes and prayers right now because it's it's it's pretty
Speaker 1: rough this summer. Well, Camp Conklin is the site you
Speaker 1: need to check out. I will tweet out a link
Speaker 1: to it, my friend, Bravo base Camp Cocklin, Camp cock
Speaker 1: Glenn is out there. Uh. It's in dire need of
Speaker 1: donations and I will hopefully get updates from you regularly
Speaker 1: throughout the year. I wish I were closer. I'd come
Speaker 1: by myself. But maybe I can do a little something
Speaker 1: online here with a little help. And if you can
Speaker 1: help to Ernasto, God bless you, my friend. Uh, just
Speaker 1: reach out whenever you need to get the word out
Speaker 1: and we'll take care of it. Sounds good. We'll thank you.
Speaker 1: Michael Pelka stepping aside for a quick break. When we
Speaker 1: get back an update, and in the break, I'm going
Speaker 1: to tweet out a link to Camp co Conkerlin. It's
Speaker 1: hard to say, it's a clunky name. We need a
Speaker 1: media consultant. I'm in for Box Exton tonight, come on back,
Speaker 1: Mico Pelca in for my friend Buck Sexton on this
Speaker 1: fabulous Friday Bucks taking a little extra time off. We
Speaker 1: have much to talk about. I've got a couple of
Speaker 1: other issues. I want to tell you about a state
Speaker 1: that's killing itself with taxes. We still need to talk
Speaker 1: about more of the game shows, the greatest game shows
Speaker 1: ever and you can vote for yours. Do it on
Speaker 1: Twitter or do it on the phone. You know where
Speaker 1: to call. But I have to remind you about Simply Safe.
Speaker 1: In the Better Business Bureau heard more than five thousand
Speaker 1: complaints about alarm companies, and that puts home security in
Speaker 1: the top ten percent of the most complained about industries.
Speaker 1: Top ten percent. Think about that home security. So here's
Speaker 1: how you fix home security. Do what my friends over
Speaker 1: at Simply Safe did. Simply Safe got rid of contracts
Speaker 1: and hidden fees. They work hard to earn their customers
Speaker 1: business instead of relying on fine print and tricks. Simply
Speaker 1: Safe as a company that treats its customers right. How
Speaker 1: rare is that today the company relies on good service
Speaker 1: and a great product to earn your business. I've known
Speaker 1: Simply Safe for years. They're good people. That's why they've
Speaker 1: got the A plus rating with a Better Business Bureau
Speaker 1: for ten years running. There are over forty thousand five
Speaker 1: star reviews about simply Safe online. Simply Save is what
Speaker 1: home security should be. You get the best protection, period.
Speaker 1: So learn more about simply Safe today at simply safe
Speaker 1: dot com, slash buck. Simply safe dot com slash buck
Speaker 1: Protect your home and your family with an A plus
Speaker 1: home security system simply safe dot com slash Buck do
Speaker 1: it today. As I mentioned, we are keeping our eyes
Speaker 1: on all kinds of things. Um. I was really really hoping.
Speaker 1: I was really hoping that the President would decide to
Speaker 1: troll the media and leak his Supreme Court nominee sometime
Speaker 1: today because if he did it, everybody and their brother
Speaker 1: would have to come rushing back from their vacations in
Speaker 1: order to cover it live, and for me, that's fun
Speaker 1: to watch. So everybody would have had the lead. Then
Speaker 1: the Long Island Expressway coming back from the Hamptons would
Speaker 1: have been absolutely log jammed. What am I saying? Wolf
Speaker 1: Blitzer and all those media elites would take a helicopter
Speaker 1: into the city. They wouldn't be on the l I E. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: not even in the stretch uber that they would take.
Speaker 1: But it's not happening. I wished it were happening, but
Speaker 1: it's not. So we're gonna deal with Monday night at
Speaker 1: nine o'clock Must See TV, the president once again dominating
Speaker 1: prime time television. And I mentioned earlier that it's going
Speaker 1: to be ten days that President Trump is going to
Speaker 1: be owning the media cycle. He's basically owned it since
Speaker 1: the announcement of the opportunity to nominate someone to the
Speaker 1: Supreme Court. And the next day, it was a week
Speaker 1: ago yesterday, a week ago yesterday that we saw the
Speaker 1: biggest freak out from the people on the left, the
Speaker 1: people on the left who absolutely lost their minds. My
Speaker 1: old boss, Whoopie Goldberg. That's right, you heard that correctly.
Speaker 1: I worked for Whoopi Goldberg over a decade ago. Whoopee
Speaker 1: had the biggest freak out on the view as they
Speaker 1: were talking about what was happening. This was Whoope's reaction
Speaker 1: to Donald Trump getting a Supreme Court nomination. Get out
Speaker 1: of my behind, Get out of my vagina. What did
Speaker 1: you say, Whoopee, Get out of my behind, Get out
Speaker 1: of my vagina. I don't think we're gonna have any
Speaker 1: argument on that. My co Pelica, come on back, buck
Speaker 1: Sexton mission, decoding the news and disseminating information with actionable intelligence.
Speaker 1: Make no mistakes, American, You're a great American again. This
Speaker 1: is the Buck Sexton Show. No, it is Buck Sexton
Speaker 1: in about twenty two hours and two days from now,
Speaker 1: Michael Pelca sitting in from my friend Buck Sexton. I
Speaker 1: probably screwed up the math, so don't don't at me
Speaker 1: on Twitter, but I'm filling in for my buddy Buck.
Speaker 1: I'll be here for the next hour, and I hope
Speaker 1: you will hang around. I hope you will be part
Speaker 1: of the conversation. I hope you will join me in
Speaker 1: discussing the frivolous Friday question as well as the news
Speaker 1: of the day. The frivolous Friday question, because it's Friday
Speaker 1: and we have to take a little light approach to things, is, uh,
Speaker 1: what's the greatest game show ever in the history of
Speaker 1: game shows? I got a bunch of stuff on Facebook,
Speaker 1: a bunch of you follow me on Facebook and Twitter
Speaker 1: who have written in and suggested things like the Gong Show,
Speaker 1: which I think was more of a comedy show then
Speaker 1: a game show. Because you weren't really winning a lot.
Speaker 1: It was Chuck Barriss kind of jerk in our chains
Speaker 1: if you will. A lot of support for the Prices right,
Speaker 1: A whole lot of support for Jeopardy, of course, because
Speaker 1: it's the greatest game show ever. But there are people saying,
Speaker 1: do you remember the Joker's wild Press your luck? And
Speaker 1: then they always talk about no Wammy, no wammy, no where.
Speaker 1: I don't remember that. But if you have a favorite
Speaker 1: game show and you want to remember it, what about
Speaker 1: the Newlywed Game? What about the Dating Game? One of
Speaker 1: the greatest conservatives alive today who puts out a lot
Speaker 1: of great information on Twitter and online is Chuck Woolery.
Speaker 1: Chuck Woolery, the guy who hosted the dating game for
Speaker 1: quite our Yeah Noah's Love Connection, Chuck Woolory Love Connection
Speaker 1: where he did We'll be back in two and two
Speaker 1: And Chuck got blacklisted in Hollywood for being a conservative,
Speaker 1: and he's had to make his own way. But I'm
Speaker 1: real proud of Chuck Woolery and proud to call him
Speaker 1: a friend and a conservative. Also in the conservative world,
Speaker 1: great game show host Pat Say Jack, Yeah, Say Jack's
Speaker 1: a conservative? Do you follow him on Twitter? You should,
Speaker 1: but I'd love to hear what your thoughts are. Who
Speaker 1: is your pick? What is your pick for the greatest
Speaker 1: Game show ever? Eight four four nine Buck eight four
Speaker 1: four nine D b U c K Just a little
Speaker 1: frivolity on this Friday, reports by the way out of
Speaker 1: North Korea. Our Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is saying
Speaker 1: that we've made progress in the negotiations. You know, he
Speaker 1: flew back to North Korea because we got reports from
Speaker 1: our own surveillance that North Korea was up to no good,
Speaker 1: that they weren't doing what they had indicated they would
Speaker 1: do in terms of shutting down uranium enrichment and stopping
Speaker 1: the production of nuclear materials. And I believe that the
Speaker 1: dance with North Korea is not going to be a
Speaker 1: short dance. It's going to be a dance marathon. In
Speaker 1: order to shut down this guy, it's gonna take constant pressure,
Speaker 1: it's going to take more sanctions it's going to do
Speaker 1: it's got to be like the toughest teacher you ever had,
Speaker 1: who was leaning over your shoulder watching you write out
Speaker 1: your assignments. That's what we're gonna have to do with
Speaker 1: this guy, and keep holding the carrot, but also keep
Speaker 1: waving the stick. So I'm I'm happy to hear that
Speaker 1: that the Secretary of State is making progress, and I'm
Speaker 1: happy to see that he's posting updates online because that
Speaker 1: lets the mainstream media know that you're not going to
Speaker 1: get away with Tarran this down. I still believe that
Speaker 1: it's going to take more than one year, as Pompeio says,
Speaker 1: in less than a decade that the left is saying
Speaker 1: for us to solve the North Korean crisis. Now, there's
Speaker 1: also news coming out of d c UM that that
Speaker 1: we have to address today, serious news that we have
Speaker 1: to address today, and it's about the economy. The economy
Speaker 1: is on fire. And yet the left has taken on
Speaker 1: the same kind of approach they did when the tax
Speaker 1: cuts hit. Did you see the reaction today? They the
Speaker 1: left actually called the economic report today the jobs report today.
Speaker 1: They actually werefer to it as reckless. Are you kidding me?
Speaker 1: Do you have a gigantic boost in jobs? You have
Speaker 1: a spike expected to be about a hundred and ninety thousand,
Speaker 1: You've got more than two thousand jobs that were created,
Speaker 1: you have more people rushing to get back to the
Speaker 1: employment world. When when Barack Obama was in office, we
Speaker 1: had people running away because they could get more money
Speaker 1: not working than working. But now we have a hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty five million plus people employed in this country.
Speaker 1: We saw manufacturing spike thirty six thousand jobs. It's huge.
Speaker 1: We have Hispanic unemployment at a lowest level ever Hispanic unemployment.
Speaker 1: What do you think that's going to do to the
Speaker 1: mid term elections. If we can keep the economy strong,
Speaker 1: if we can keep this economy percolating, you can keep
Speaker 1: his Spanic unemployment strong, you can keep women unemployment strong,
Speaker 1: you can keep black unemployment at those low levels, and
Speaker 1: then we'll start to see prices being paid to workers
Speaker 1: go up, wages rising. Of course, we do have costs
Speaker 1: that we have to deal with. There's a spike in oil.
Speaker 1: There is a possibility that inflation is looming. But people
Speaker 1: are starting to have confidence and hope in this economy,
Speaker 1: and that means that this president could break a historic precedent.
Speaker 1: And I'm talking about the mid term elections. Jinks. Basically, Now,
Speaker 1: there's a story on Brightbar today. I don't spend a
Speaker 1: lot of time on Brightbar today, but they have summarized
Speaker 1: a Reuter's pole a Reuter's poll that should have Democrats
Speaker 1: freaking out. I almost said something worse Nancy Pelosi wedding herself.
Speaker 1: Maybe that's the way to approach it. Young white Americans
Speaker 1: are running away from the Democratic Party in huge numbers,
Speaker 1: and it's not just since the election of Trump, but
Speaker 1: it's a continuing trend. Today, thirty nine percent of young
Speaker 1: white Americans say they favor Republicans. Thirty nine percent of
Speaker 1: young white Americans say they favor Democrats. That was a
Speaker 1: different story, in a very different story in TWI. The
Speaker 1: poll reveals this Reuter's poll reveals that Democrats are losing
Speaker 1: young Americans overall. Before Trump's election, fifty fifty five percent
Speaker 1: of young Americans favored Democrats over Republicans. Today, that margin
Speaker 1: is down to only forty six percent of young Americans
Speaker 1: who are still loyal to Democrats. Now, there's going to
Speaker 1: be a big discussion over what's the big issue as
Speaker 1: we approached the midterms and the top two According to
Speaker 1: a different poll, the top two issues are im graction
Speaker 1: and the economy. And I wish, you know, we've got
Speaker 1: the economy bubbling. I wish we could get something done
Speaker 1: in some way, shape or form on immigration, something concrete
Speaker 1: that would show to the people that Donald Trump is
Speaker 1: working to solve this problem. We need help, though, from
Speaker 1: people on both sides of the aisle. The United States
Speaker 1: is the most generous country in the planet, especially when
Speaker 1: it comes to citizenship. We take in, we allow in,
Speaker 1: We process more than one point five million immigrants every year,
Speaker 1: one point five million. Just let that number marinate. And
Speaker 1: then there are the people who have crossed here illegally,
Speaker 1: the illegal aliens. But we continue bringing in more than
Speaker 1: a million legal immigrants every year, every single year. I
Speaker 1: think that with Donald Trump, with the growing economy, you're
Speaker 1: fine only seeing a reality that those immigrants coming to
Speaker 1: this country are no longer defaulting to Democrats. So with
Speaker 1: the young people running away from Democrats in numbers, with
Speaker 1: the immigrant population starting to move towards at least an
Speaker 1: open consideration for one or the other, conservative or liberal,
Speaker 1: with black Americans starting to look at Donald Trump and saying,
Speaker 1: you know, he was right when he said, what do
Speaker 1: you have to lose? We have the Democrats very, very worried,
Speaker 1: and they should be worried, especially after the New York
Speaker 1: primary where the number four Democrat in the house lost
Speaker 1: to a twenty eight year old Democratic socialist, a socialist
Speaker 1: who who basically is lying about who she is as
Speaker 1: well as her story. She's not a girl from the Bronx.
Speaker 1: She's not Jenny from the block. She grew up in
Speaker 1: Westchester County. And those of you who know New York
Speaker 1: and outside of New York's City, west Chester is known
Speaker 1: to the cool kids as best Chester. That's where Martha
Speaker 1: Stewart has one of her homes. There's a lot of
Speaker 1: rich folks in Westchester. So I'm just saying, keep an
Speaker 1: eye on this. If the economy keeps percolating and the
Speaker 1: GOP can get something done on immigration, we will have
Speaker 1: a historic change in mid term election momentum. And I
Speaker 1: just I just hope the GOP doesn't shoot itself in
Speaker 1: the foot and ruin the opportunity they have. But back
Speaker 1: to the frivolous Friday question. Pat in Alabama is checking in. Pat,
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Buck Sexton Show. How are you Did
Speaker 1: we lose? Pat? Pat? Are you with me? I was
Speaker 1: hoping to get Pat's opinion on the Best Game Show,
Speaker 1: but apparently we've lost Pat. I'll tell you what, Pat,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm going to give you a hey, Pat, are
Speaker 1: you with me? Thank you? Hey? Welcome Pat. What part
Speaker 1: of Alabama, Nick City? Where is that? I don't know
Speaker 1: that north southeast west, across the river from Columbus, Georgia. Okay,
Speaker 1: it's a beautiful part, beautiful part of the world. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: all right. What's your vote for the greatest game show? Ever?
Speaker 1: How about this is gonna age me? Sixty dollar question?
Speaker 1: The sixty four thousand dollar question doesn't aid you at all.
Speaker 1: You sound like you were a kid watching that show.
Speaker 1: That's a good one. Now you still you still have
Speaker 1: a TV? Right, because I've been hearing from people all
Speaker 1: night who say I haven't had a TV in seven years.
Speaker 1: I actually I'm still addicted to television. I just watched
Speaker 1: different shows now. Now I do love Jeopardy, but but
Speaker 1: I can remember when the six Now the question was
Speaker 1: where it was at? And can you remember? I mean,
Speaker 1: we go back this far. Sixty four thousand dollars was
Speaker 1: life changing money at one point, exactly. It was monumental
Speaker 1: in those days. And you know what to to most
Speaker 1: of us today, sixty four thousand dollars would do a
Speaker 1: whole lot to dent some of the problems people have
Speaker 1: in their in their budgets, So I'm not going to
Speaker 1: discount that could you couldn't even buy some cars dollars.
Speaker 1: That's that's so true. You couldn't buy a Tesla, You
Speaker 1: couldn't buy many benz and and Merseilles Benzes and BMWs
Speaker 1: with that money. But great to hear from you, Pat.
Speaker 1: I appreciate you being there and thanks for joining me
Speaker 1: tonight as I fill in for Buck. I'll take one
Speaker 1: more quick one here. Kim is in Texas? What part
Speaker 1: of Texas? Kim, Well, I'm out in the country and
Speaker 1: mcdate okay, and you're obviously still you still got a TV,
Speaker 1: so you're you're voting on the game show. Yes, we
Speaker 1: don't have cable, but we have satellite. That's all we
Speaker 1: can get. Yes, but my favorite game show is Match Game.
Speaker 1: The Match Game, the classic one with Gene Rayburn is
Speaker 1: what you were saying, Yes, Yes, I love it, love
Speaker 1: it because it was risk a um and it really
Speaker 1: kind of told the history of how things were back
Speaker 1: then because a lot of the contestants, you know that
Speaker 1: were women, um, mostly did not have a job. They
Speaker 1: were hometakers and things like that or things. It just
Speaker 1: it just represented the history of where we were. Not
Speaker 1: that I'm like comnist or anything like that, but I'm
Speaker 1: just saying I love that show. Love that show. Well,
Speaker 1: I'm old enough to remember a show that they could
Speaker 1: not do today because it would be considered too sexist.
Speaker 1: And that's Queen for Day. Do you remember that one, Oh,
Speaker 1: Queen for a Day? No, I don't. They took women
Speaker 1: who were housewives and put them on the show and
Speaker 1: they competed against each other, and for the grand prize
Speaker 1: you want to talk about sexist, they got like a
Speaker 1: washing machine or a dishwasher, right right right, Well, you know,
Speaker 1: just just like in the old days of all the
Speaker 1: game shows. You know what they offered, you know in
Speaker 1: the when they go back that far. Yeah, it was
Speaker 1: washing machines, carpet cleaner, all that. But but I lost
Speaker 1: something to make you work at home. It was yes,
Speaker 1: right by Jean Rayburn. He was so funny, just you know,
Speaker 1: and they he really touched upon a lot of uh innuendos.
Speaker 1: So and they say, and a ton of innuendo. Kim,
Speaker 1: I'm up against the bray guy. Appreciate just say how
Speaker 1: to Texas? For me? I missed Texas greatly. Have a
Speaker 1: great day. Michael Pelka in for Buck Sexton. Before I
Speaker 1: take this break, though, I have to remind you. I
Speaker 1: have to remind you of one of one of Buck's
Speaker 1: great sponsors here, the Black Rifle Coffee Company. If you've
Speaker 1: ever found yourself wincing at weak coffee, the weak taste
Speaker 1: of coffee from one of those left leaning corporate brands,
Speaker 1: you probably thought, man, I wish they spend less time
Speaker 1: on meaningless biased training, worrying about their bathroom policy and
Speaker 1: other things that defy common sense, and more time on
Speaker 1: the actual coffee. And that's why people need Black Rifle Coffee.

Speaker 1: Sexton Tonight, buckleby back Monday. He's getting a long weekend.
Speaker 1: I appreciate the opportunity to be back with so many
Speaker 1: of you who are checking in tonight. I'm hearing from
Speaker 1: a lot of you and many of you on Facebook,
Speaker 1: and you're voting on the greatest games. You question it's
Speaker 1: a frivolous question, but we're we're covering serious stuff too.
Speaker 1: We talked about the economic numbers today, We talked about
Speaker 1: the midterm elections. We talked a little bit about this
Speaker 1: release of the new memos between Struck and Page that
Speaker 1: made it look like they really had a plan to
Speaker 1: prevent Donald Trump from becoming the president, and the abuse
Speaker 1: of the FISA Court. If you missed it in the
Speaker 1: first hour, make sure you get the podcast. It's on
Speaker 1: iHeart Media, Stitcher and uh iTunes, and you'll be able
Speaker 1: to check that out and see what we were talking about.
Speaker 1: As well as some of the folks calling in on
Speaker 1: the Best Game Show Ever? Eight four buck eight four
Speaker 1: four nine zero zero b U C. K Let's check
Speaker 1: In with Peter and Sarahtota, Saratoga Springs, New York. Peter,
Speaker 1: welcome to the program. Thank you. I'm happy you're here,
Speaker 1: and I'm curious. What is your choice for the greatest
Speaker 1: game show ever? Actually I got two of them. The
Speaker 1: first one is What's My Line? And the second one,
Speaker 1: of course, it's Jeopardy. They both make easy brains. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I like that What's My Line where you had to
Speaker 1: guess what people did for a living, and the panel
Speaker 1: if the person was likely to be famous. The panel
Speaker 1: was actually blindfolded, so it was kind of cool to
Speaker 1: see that. And you're right on Jeopardy. I think the
Speaker 1: more we engage our brains, the better we're going to
Speaker 1: be at all times. So that's always a good thing. Um,
Speaker 1: And and uh, what's my Line? They haven't brought it back.
Speaker 1: I think that's a tough one to bring back. They
Speaker 1: brought back so many of the old shows, but that
Speaker 1: would be a tough one. Thank you, Peter. I appreciate
Speaker 1: you checking in. I think I have enough time to
Speaker 1: do one more quick check in on this frivolous Friday poll.
Speaker 1: Felix and p A. What's going on? Felix? Hello, Mike, Hey, um,
Speaker 1: you know that young Tom Selleck actually froze, either on
Speaker 1: a dating game or love connection. I remember a lot
Speaker 1: of celebrities made their bones in the early days. Even
Speaker 1: Arnold Trutzen was seen on the on the Dating game
Speaker 1: in the very early part of his career. So you
Speaker 1: can go back and find a lot of those on
Speaker 1: the YouTube's. There were a lot of fun I of
Speaker 1: course loved the bloopers. I love everything about the bloopers,
Speaker 1: and I appreciate you checking in. We got to go
Speaker 1: into the history file in the next half hour and
Speaker 1: we'll dive in a little deep dive on some Major
Speaker 1: League Baseball history and the greatest game ever played. I've
Speaker 1: got the details. Next on the Buck Sexton Program with
Speaker 1: Mike Opelka, he's holding the line for America. Buck sex
Speaker 1: in his back. Michael Pelka is in for Buck. Buck
Speaker 1: will be back officially physically Monday, but I'm here for
Speaker 1: the remainder. Been here all night. Have enjoyed you guys
Speaker 1: interacting answering Friday's frivolous question, and what's the greatest game
Speaker 1: show ever? Eight four four Bucks? Still a little time
Speaker 1: for you to join in the conversation eight four four
Speaker 1: nine zero zero Buck. Interesting that Buck and I followed
Speaker 1: the same stories, and uh, I know he was tracking
Speaker 1: the story of the thirty year old man in San
Speaker 1: Antonio at a what a Burger who stole the hat
Speaker 1: off a sixteen year old Trump supporter and porta soda
Speaker 1: on him. The thirty year old guy who doesn't deserve
Speaker 1: to have his name on the radio, was taken into
Speaker 1: custody at his home in Universal City, Texas without incident
Speaker 1: by the Robbery Task Force in San Antonio. Good for
Speaker 1: those detectives who tracked this guy down and arrested him
Speaker 1: for stealing the make America Great hat off this juvenile. Now,
Speaker 1: can you imagine if we had just dialed this back
Speaker 1: three years ago, or five years ago or eight years ago,
Speaker 1: if you'd have had someone with a hope and change
Speaker 1: hat on in a burger joint and a member of
Speaker 1: a GOP group had gone up and grabbed the hat
Speaker 1: and thrown the drink on the guy and said, your
Speaker 1: hat's gonna look great in my fireplace. Bach Can you
Speaker 1: imagine the outrage this guy would have There would have
Speaker 1: been a man hunt, there would have been a reward
Speaker 1: for his capture and conviction. Obama would have called for
Speaker 1: a Burger summit. But thank god for the Internet, because
Speaker 1: this guy lost his job. Then he was arrested, and
Speaker 1: the company that had employed him, a bar that employed
Speaker 1: this idiot, made a public statement saying that we don't
Speaker 1: endorse this. We believe that everybody has free speech. And
Speaker 1: I'm sure that was a smart bit of pr for
Speaker 1: them to get that out there. But great to see.
Speaker 1: That's a follow up on one of the stories I
Speaker 1: know Buck was covering last night on the show, and
Speaker 1: he also covered the Alan Dershowitz story, and I thought
Speaker 1: this was interesting. Buck mentioned, um the hair of one
Speaker 1: Joe Scarborough. And I actually used to spend a lot
Speaker 1: of time traveling between Washington, d C. Delaware in New
Speaker 1: York City when I had my Blaze beat, and I
Speaker 1: was covering New York stories as well as DC stories
Speaker 1: out of my freedom bunker here in Delaware. And got
Speaker 1: on the train one day and sure enough, there's Joe
Speaker 1: Scarborough and Mika Brazinski and they're on the train and
Speaker 1: I regularly trolled both of them during my Blaze days.
Speaker 1: If you go back and search my Blaze story account,
Speaker 1: you will see that I gave them no wiggle room.
Speaker 1: But I walked up and introduced myself to him because
Speaker 1: we have a friend in common, and Joe goes, come
Speaker 1: on over here, come on, come on, come on, come on,
Speaker 1: come on, and we actually sat and talked civilly. And
Speaker 1: I disagree with so much that comes out of Joe
Speaker 1: Scarborough's mouth, but I have to agree with Buck. His
Speaker 1: hair kind of kind of spectacular. I have tonsorial envy.
Speaker 1: My hair um has prematurely departed most of it. There's
Speaker 1: still a little bit left. But I know Buck played
Speaker 1: a clip from Joe Scarborough mocking Alan Dershowitz yesterday. There's
Speaker 1: a follow up to that, so let's remember what Scarborough
Speaker 1: said about Dershowitz. He's upset because doing the bidding of
Speaker 1: Donald Trump and by extension, Vladimir Putin by attacking Robert
Speaker 1: Mueller the third. He's not allowed to come to the
Speaker 1: trendiest clam banks without filling a cold shoulder. Kind of
Speaker 1: a kind of a crappy statement to make you know,
Speaker 1: kind of a little it's kind of like Junior High
Speaker 1: to make that kind of a statement. Well, Alan Dershowitz
Speaker 1: was on with Tucker Carlson last night. I happened to
Speaker 1: catch it, and he had a couple of things to say,
Speaker 1: a couple of things to say, and one of them
Speaker 1: very pointedly at Joe Scarborough. Here's the first thing Dershowitz said.
Speaker 1: I don't think what you're describing is a liberal phenomenon.
Speaker 1: I'm a liberal. I think it's a hard left radical phenomenon.
Speaker 1: I think liberals still support free speech, liberals still support
Speaker 1: due process. But the Democratic Party and the left has
Speaker 1: been taken over by radicals who have no interest in
Speaker 1: due process. They're like Negroponte. They only want their truth
Speaker 1: to prevail. They don't want any descent, they don't want
Speaker 1: any arguments happening in university campuses. And when you have
Speaker 1: professors like Negra Ponte giving the students the lesson it's
Speaker 1: okay not to engage, not to talk to people you
Speaker 1: disagree with, it's a terrible reflection of what's going on
Speaker 1: in the United States of America. Dershowitz is right, and
Speaker 1: Dershowitz is a liberal, a guy who's able to defend
Speaker 1: the constitution from the perspective of the Constitution and not
Speaker 1: from a political perspective. And so when when he also
Speaker 1: talked about the fact that his opinions, which are defending
Speaker 1: the Constitution and seemed to support Donald Trump, make it
Speaker 1: all the way to Martha's Vineyard, then he has shut out, shunned,
Speaker 1: if you will, by the limousine liberals, who, as I
Speaker 1: like to call him, the Mercedes maoists of the Martha's
Speaker 1: Vineyard Nantuckett crowd. And so when Dershowitz heard the Morning
Speaker 1: Joe mocking, he responded back to Joe Scarborough, and I
Speaker 1: think I would hope that MSNBC had the spine to
Speaker 1: follow up on this. I challenge Morning Joe to have
Speaker 1: me on the show when he mocks me so that
Speaker 1: I can respond. It's easy and kind of unfair to
Speaker 1: attack somebody and then not give him an opportunity to respond.
Speaker 1: Let's see if he has the guts to put me
Speaker 1: on his show so that I can tell his view
Speaker 1: is the truth. I love it when he puts the
Speaker 1: emphasis on guts. This is a guy. He's not a
Speaker 1: young guy, but he's kind of calling out Scarborough. I
Speaker 1: think he's older than Joe Scarborough maybe by fifteen or
Speaker 1: twenty years. But here's Alan Dershowitz just kind of stick
Speaker 1: in the stick in Joe scarborough side contunity to respond.
Speaker 1: Let's see if he has the guts to put me
Speaker 1: on his show so that I can all his view
Speaker 1: is the truth. I'm waiting. I'm waiting to see if
Speaker 1: that happens. Let's see if he is the guts. You
Speaker 1: don't have the guts, Joe Scarborough. He might have the guts.
Speaker 1: He has to check with Mika first, that's you know.
Speaker 1: Obviously you gotta get Mika's permission before you would allow
Speaker 1: Alan Dershowitz on the show. A liberal, a Harvard liberal
Speaker 1: that you're afraid of, Morning Joe, what the hell is
Speaker 1: wrong with you? I will tell you they were very
Speaker 1: civil on the train, even pose for a little picture
Speaker 1: with Mika and Joe. But I would love to see
Speaker 1: Alan Dershwitz take them both on. I'd love to see
Speaker 1: Alan Dershwitz deliver a little television justice to that MSNBC show.
Speaker 1: All right, I don't know if um, I guess, I
Speaker 1: guess we have time to introduce you to a new sponsor.
Speaker 1: And this relates to Joe Scarborough. This relates to many
Speaker 1: on the left who are still about the election. This
Speaker 1: relates to the Hillary fans. And I want to share
Speaker 1: for you a new Buck Sexton show sponsor. They may
Speaker 1: only be on with us tonight, but this is a
Speaker 1: brand new drug called grow a Set. Are you easily offended?
Speaker 1: Do you find yourself crying when you realize the electoral
Speaker 1: college was won by Donald Trump and not Hillary Clinton?
Speaker 1: Did you hold a pants suit party only to have
Speaker 1: it turned into a pity party? Then you need to
Speaker 1: ask your doctor about grow a set. It's essentially a
Speaker 1: backbone for some a pair of testicles for others. So
Speaker 1: if you're one of those precious snowflakes who can't wait
Speaker 1: for the next Yankee Candle catalog to arrive, or you
Speaker 1: will binge watch Nicholas Sparks movies, perhaps you could benefit
Speaker 1: from grow a Set, the new f D approved drug
Speaker 1: for people who are too easily offended or just can't
Speaker 1: take a joke. Side effects from gross set include happiness,
Speaker 1: no longer crying in front of your friends, and the
Speaker 1: ability to hold a conversation with people of a different mindset.
Speaker 1: Ask your doctor about grow a set. Yes, grows set.
Speaker 1: I don't think you're going to be finding that in
Speaker 1: your local store. I just wanted to share that with you.
Speaker 1: My name is Michael Pelico. I'm gonna step aside. When
Speaker 1: we come back, I want to go into history. I
Speaker 1: want to take a look at what's going on in history.
Speaker 1: Oh you know what, before we get out of here,
Speaker 1: before we take a break. Right here, James is on
Speaker 1: the line, checking in from Round Rock, Texas. James, I
Speaker 1: love me some Round Route Texas. You're in a great
Speaker 1: part of the world. But you wanted to weigh in
Speaker 1: on the best game show ever? Oh I heard I
Speaker 1: had to weigh in. I'm not sure if anybody said
Speaker 1: this yet, but Family Feud with Steve Harvey. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: love Family Feud and I love it with Steve Harvey
Speaker 1: because he is so damn funny. But do you even
Speaker 1: remember Family Feud with Richard Dawson. Yeah, well that was
Speaker 1: before my time of keep watching. But um, i've seen reruns.
Speaker 1: It's not as good you put. You put Steve Harvey
Speaker 1: in any of the shows that you you've named so far,
Speaker 1: and it'd be the best best game show out there.
Speaker 1: He's just he's a character. Yeah, I'm a fan of
Speaker 1: Steve Harvey. I think he's really funny and he under
Speaker 1: he understands entertainment from a family level. But he also
Speaker 1: dances on the double ontendre line quite a bit. But
Speaker 1: if you go back and watch, as you mentioned some
Speaker 1: those old Richard Dawson shows, I got a story I
Speaker 1: need to tell about Richard Dawson on the set of
Speaker 1: Family Feud. Because he thought he was a master chess player.
Speaker 1: He envisioned himself as a chess player, and there's a
Speaker 1: story that drifted out from inside of the production company
Speaker 1: that he wanted to play chess before every taping and
Speaker 1: he needed to win. So they hired a really big
Speaker 1: chess guy to go in and play Dawson, but they
Speaker 1: paid him to lose so Richard would come out with
Speaker 1: a real positive attitude, and Dawson kind of got cocky
Speaker 1: and started mocking the guy, and one day the guy
Speaker 1: had had enough. Dawson was saying, well, you're a big
Speaker 1: chess player, but I beat you every day, And finally
Speaker 1: the guy had enough and he beat him the next
Speaker 1: day at chess and Dawson refused to come out for
Speaker 1: the taping. This Hollywood legend, I gotta make sure it's true.
Speaker 1: But he apparently wouldn't come out of his trailer. He
Speaker 1: was so distraught and they had to send the audience
Speaker 1: and the contestants home for the day. A little bit
Speaker 1: of celebrity meltdown, just a little inside story. So when
Speaker 1: we come back, thank you James from Round Route for
Speaker 1: chicken In. When we come back, I I gotta talk
Speaker 1: history because something happened on this day, back in the
Speaker 1: day that bears learning about. And it's uh, the greatest
Speaker 1: game that was ever played first happened on this day,
Speaker 1: and it happened in my hometown of Chicago. We'll talk
Speaker 1: about that next on the Buck Sexton Show. Michael Pelca
Speaker 1: wrapping up my night here filling in for my pal
Speaker 1: Buck Sex. Then thank you for joining me. Obviously, this
Speaker 1: audience very act of voting for a lot of different
Speaker 1: game shows. And if you missed anything, I heart media.
Speaker 1: Stitcher and iTunes will carry the entire podcast, so go
Speaker 1: and check it out. If you're looking for me, you
Speaker 1: can find me on iTunes, Stitcher, SoundCloud, et cetera under
Speaker 1: pure O Pelka, pure O Pelky. You'll see what I do.
Speaker 1: I'm also on the Twitter at stunt Brain and I'm
Speaker 1: on Facebook you can follow me on Facebook as well.
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. A word on the on the tariffs
Speaker 1: in the trade war. The President, I believe, is a
Speaker 1: guy who doesn't want any tariffs go in either direction.
Speaker 1: So I think that's the end game, and I think
Speaker 1: we gotta watch it. We already saw Angela Merkel last
Speaker 1: night saying she didn't want tariffs, any tariffs on American cars,
Speaker 1: which means a Corvette goes from ninety four thousand in
Speaker 1: Germany to fifty four thousand in Germany. And that's the
Speaker 1: way trade is supposed to be. I believe the President
Speaker 1: is protecting us. I believe he's protecting our intellectual property
Speaker 1: in his efforts to get China's attention. And it might
Speaker 1: have a little painful stuff before we get to the
Speaker 1: good stuff. So just watch that space now. I was
Speaker 1: talking about history, as I love history, buck Love's history.
Speaker 1: On this day, back in the day, in nineteen forty five,
Speaker 1: Operation Overcast, which became Operation paper Clips started. That's a
Speaker 1: secret program we used to bring German and Austrian scientists
Speaker 1: to America. It changed the course of this nation. Immigrants
Speaker 1: coming here legally are important and vital. Remember that on
Speaker 1: this date in nineteen fifty seven, ALTHEA. Gibson won Wimbledon.
Speaker 1: She was the first black person to win that title.
Speaker 1: Very important moment in history. But also on this date,
Speaker 1: in nineteen thirty three, something happened in Chicago, in my hometown.
Speaker 1: The first All Star Game was played, the very first
Speaker 1: Baseball All Star Game. And think about it, it was
Speaker 1: a time in our great nation when the American League
Speaker 1: and the National League didn't have interleague play. It didn't
Speaker 1: happen until the World Series. And at this time, in
Speaker 1: nineteen thirty three, just out of the Great Depression, baseball
Speaker 1: was having a huge problem. They couldn't get people in
Speaker 1: the stands, they couldn't get the audience's attention. The revenues
Speaker 1: were dropping like a rock. But that's when that's when
Speaker 1: a sports editor, a guy that nobody thinks about, a
Speaker 1: guy named Archwards, suggested to the Commissioner of Baseball, suggested
Speaker 1: to the team owners that you get the best players
Speaker 1: from both leagues to play together in what they were
Speaker 1: gonna call the Game of the century. And in nineteen
Speaker 1: thirty three, after he convinced the owners, he convinced the league.
Speaker 1: He even guaranteed to make up any losses with his
Speaker 1: own salary, they decided to have the Game of Century.
Speaker 1: And one of the things that Archward insisted on in
Speaker 1: his ideas was that the fans have a say. The
Speaker 1: fans got to vote the players in. So you had,
Speaker 1: for the first time, fans voting for Garrig fans voting
Speaker 1: for Babe Ruth. This was one of the greatest inventions
Speaker 1: ever for Major League Baseball. Happened to be an unabashed
Speaker 1: baseball fan. And my Chicago White Sucks are having a
Speaker 1: terrible season, or is it's known in the world a
Speaker 1: building rebuilding season, But it was on this date back
Speaker 1: in three one of America's great traditions started at Comiskey
Speaker 1: Park at thirty fifth and Shield Street in Chicago, Illinois.
Speaker 1: And it was all because one guy had an idea.
Speaker 1: And that's what this country is about, finding an idea,
Speaker 1: finding your passion, pushing it forward, putting yourself on the line.
Speaker 1: And years later, the great tradition continues. The greatest game
Speaker 1: in baseball, the annual All Star Game, and it happens
Speaker 1: on the seventeenth of this month in Washington, d C.
Speaker 1: Just a little bit of history for you. Michael Pelca
Speaker 1: is saying thank you so much for joining me tonight.
Speaker 1: Thank you Buck. The Godfather is always listening. God can
Speaker 1: find me on Twitter, on Facebook, and occasionally here on
Speaker 1: the radio Test Studo, my friends, Test Studo
