Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom hunch. To have witnesses or
Speaker 1: not to have witnesses, that is the question. Plus, we
Speaker 1: had a Trump Rowley last night that laid out the
Speaker 1: case against the socialist Democrats. The Iowa Cows is just
Speaker 1: a few days away. Don Lemon's non apology apology, a
Speaker 1: Mini's piece plan courtesy of Jared Kushner, and more stories
Speaker 1: about how Kobe Bryant helped and inspired people that coming
Speaker 1: up today on The Buck Sexon Show. This is the
Speaker 1: Buck Sexon Show where the mission or mission is to
Speaker 1: decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake America,
Speaker 1: You're a great American. Again, The Buck Sexon Show begins analyst,
Speaker 1: He's a great guy. No, welcome to the Box Sex
Speaker 1: and Show. Everybody got much to get you today. Are
Speaker 1: As is our standard, our custom, the way we roll
Speaker 1: here in the Hut. Michael Bloomberg kicks us off today. Bloomberg,
Speaker 1: who is now after what two months of officially being
Speaker 1: in the race in his second month, I think of
Speaker 1: officially being out there spending so much money that people
Speaker 1: are playing games like how many Bloomberg ads they see
Speaker 1: in any given day? Blanketed the airwaves. He's all over
Speaker 1: the place. Michael Bloomberg wants to make sure that you
Speaker 1: do not have the temerity. You do not have the
Speaker 1: gall to buy a forty eight ounce soda for yourself?
Speaker 1: How dare you, sir? Bloomberg wants to make sure that
Speaker 1: his anti Second Amendment crusade is successful at the federal level.
Speaker 1: Wants to take the guns away a lot of stuf.
Speaker 1: Abot Bloomberg. I don't prickly like some stuff. I do.
Speaker 1: Gotta keep it real here in the Hut. Always tell
Speaker 1: you what's really going on and how I really feel. Bloomberg,
Speaker 1: unlike the Democrats he's running against, is able to read
Speaker 1: a balance sheet, understand how a business functions, knows what
Speaker 1: efficiency and effectiveness are, has actually done things, has built
Speaker 1: an incredibly successful business, made him one of the richest
Speaker 1: men in the world. I mean, so there's some upside here.
Speaker 1: If Bloomberg were to become president, it wouldn't be as
Speaker 1: good as what we got with Trump, be a lot
Speaker 1: worse in a lot of ways. Second Amendment, climate change,
Speaker 1: nanny states stuff, a lot of things. Maybe a problem.
Speaker 1: But if Bernie Sanders becomes president, I think you probably
Speaker 1: want to get to that gold you've stashed under the
Speaker 1: bed or in the backyard, or wherever you keep your
Speaker 1: precious metals, which are a store of wealth stretching back millennia.
Speaker 1: Just say it. I'm I'm I'm a crypto guy. I
Speaker 1: can't tell you if that's going to be. I don't
Speaker 1: get financial advice here. I don't know if crypto is
Speaker 1: the way to go. But if if Bernie Sanders wins
Speaker 1: that election, I can tell you this much, there will
Speaker 1: be a big stock market drop the next day because
Speaker 1: everyone's gonna say, oh, kind of see what it's like
Speaker 1: this time year in New Zealand, got to see if
Speaker 1: all that background we saw from the Peter Jackson Lord
Speaker 1: of the Rings movies is that as beautiful as it seemed,
Speaker 1: because that's where they filmed. New Zealand's where they filmed
Speaker 1: most the Lord of the Rings. Anyway, But the true
Speaker 1: Bloomberg story of the last twenty four hours is not
Speaker 1: just that he is involving himself in this race in
Speaker 1: a way that already is making something of a difference.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's a top five candidate. There are people
Speaker 1: that have been running all along on the Democrat side
Speaker 1: who aren't nearly in the same category. It helps to
Speaker 1: be worth forty billion ish. It's a private company, so
Speaker 1: could he really sell it all? No one really knows
Speaker 1: what the full effective net worth is. One of my
Speaker 1: favorite listeners recently told me that one of my favorite phrases,
Speaker 1: nobody really knows. Do I really say that? A lot
Speaker 1: of producer of Mark I do man parallel. No one
Speaker 1: can really tell you. This is a very good impression
Speaker 1: of me that's making the rounds now. But I know
Speaker 1: a lot of things that I tell you, so that's
Speaker 1: hopefully helpful for all of you. One of them is this.
Speaker 1: If you're going to as part of your campaign as
Speaker 1: as what do we call him Mini Mike or Little Mike.
Speaker 1: I think it's Mini Mike, Mini Mike Bloomberg, as Trump
Speaker 1: calls him. If you're going to make the acquaintance of
Speaker 1: a canine, you should look like you've actually pet a
Speaker 1: dog before, and you probably want to avoid what Mike
Speaker 1: Bloomberg did, which is grab a dog's face and shake
Speaker 1: it like some kind of lunatic. I mean, how did
Speaker 1: he would say like he wasn't tried. It's just funny.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is ridiculous, But you know, you get
Speaker 1: politicians on the campaign trail and they're kissing babies and
Speaker 1: trying to show how connected the people they are. And
Speaker 1: now all over social media they are photos of Mike
Speaker 1: Bloomberg grabbing a dog looks like a yellow lab, which
Speaker 1: you're wonderful dogs, And as you know, I absolutely love dogs.
Speaker 1: I'm sure I think about ninety eight percent of this
Speaker 1: audience loves dogs, maybe ninety nine. There's a couple of
Speaker 1: you dog get a lot of dog and cat people.
Speaker 1: There's some cat only people in this audience too. I've
Speaker 1: heard from them though cat only people, we gotta gotta
Speaker 1: bring you over to the dog's side. Bring you to
Speaker 1: the dog's side. But Bloomberg grabbed this dog by the
Speaker 1: face basically and like wagged it up and down. I've
Speaker 1: never seen anything quite like it, So you never know.
Speaker 1: It's something on this cat patre more interesting than most
Speaker 1: of the arguments that I've seen about witness no witness,
Speaker 1: what's going to happen in the Senate trial, which is
Speaker 1: I've been so clear on this all along. When someone's
Speaker 1: thrown a long bomb in the end zone, you're on defense,
Speaker 1: what do you do, producer, Mark, you wap it down?
Speaker 1: Just wap it down. Don't don't try to get cute.
Speaker 1: Don't go for that interception. You're in the end zone.
Speaker 1: You don't want an interception in the end zone. Just
Speaker 1: wap it down. I mean, maybe you do, but it's
Speaker 1: Riskier's the point. I know the rules. I know the rules.
Speaker 1: I also know the Super bowls on Sunday. So there
Speaker 1: he's giving me a golf clap right now, because it's
Speaker 1: horn to know these things as an American, and I
Speaker 1: believe it is. Also the Kansas City Chiefs and the
Speaker 1: San Francisco forty nine ers who are playing in this
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. I've been doing my research. We have a man,
Speaker 1: Jesse Kelly, joining later if we can wake him up.
Speaker 1: I don't know what Texas time over there. I'm not
Speaker 1: sure what time it is, but we might have him
Speaker 1: joining to talk more about about football. Also, hopefully my
Speaker 1: buddy the AIRUDT always sensible David Effoon will be joining
Speaker 1: to talk about the Arab Israeli peace plan that has
Speaker 1: been rolled out. And I suppose we can also have
Speaker 1: some fun with the Trump rally which I watched last night.
Speaker 1: My colleague here at the first Madison, Jesseatto, who will
Speaker 1: be in for me tomorrow on this show on Pluto
Speaker 1: TV Shell to forty eight the first, as well as
Speaker 1: on radio stations across the country one hundred and sixty
Speaker 1: of them. Bam, that will be fun. But we watched
Speaker 1: the Trump rally. I'll have some moments from that Trump
Speaker 1: rally for you. But we're still figuring out this week.
Speaker 1: The big thing and you know the media fixation on this. Remember,
Speaker 1: because ninety percent plus of journalists are leftists who want
Speaker 1: the president gone, and so this is for them. The
Speaker 1: super Bowl is finding a way to help the Democrats
Speaker 1: get rid of this president. Not nothing else matters to them.
Speaker 1: I mean, they were worried about World War three, and
Speaker 1: I see President Trump said that Bolton wanted world War six.
Speaker 1: If Trump had listened to him, that's what was going
Speaker 1: to happen, which I thought was a pretty funny line,
Speaker 1: also a little scary. But world War three was supposed
Speaker 1: to happen a few weeks ago because of Solomonny. Of
Speaker 1: course that wasn't the case. The genocide of the Kurge
Speaker 1: was supposed to happen because of Trump. That wasn't the case.
Speaker 1: China trade war was going to destroy our economy. That
Speaker 1: wasn't the case. I mean, you know, Russia collusion was
Speaker 1: going to be proven, the president was a trader, not
Speaker 1: the case, huge disgusting lie. And now they're on this one.
Speaker 1: I suppose they don't think the journals and the Dems,
Speaker 1: the Libs, the Democrats, the socialists started using that term war.
Speaker 1: I suppose they figure it's not possible for us to
Speaker 1: have this is the last last straw, fatigue. I thought
Speaker 1: it was the last draw when I was a kid.
Speaker 1: For a long time, like when someone were to draw
Speaker 1: their pistol, I just thought, was what it turns its
Speaker 1: last straw. It turns out so this is the last
Speaker 1: the last straw. That analysis from the media is in
Speaker 1: fact not working the same way they thought that it would.
Speaker 1: And that's what takes us then into the latest on
Speaker 1: this impeachment removal preceding the Senate trial. Here's the big lie,
Speaker 1: the big time. I mean, there's so many it's tough
Speaker 1: to keep track of it all. But the big talking
Speaker 1: point that you're hearing from all them now because they
Speaker 1: desperately need to extend the clock, they need this to
Speaker 1: go into ot. See, it's we got sports analogies of
Speaker 1: plenty today because we got the Super Bowl Sunday. They
Speaker 1: need this to go into ot because otherwise the Republicans win,
Speaker 1: and they know that. And even if they don't get
Speaker 1: a removal, this whole receding everything from the beginning of
Speaker 1: the whistleblower up to present hasn't damaged the president and
Speaker 1: iota not one bit, not a smidgeon of damage. You
Speaker 1: could say, not a touch. It hasn't done anything, in fact,
Speaker 1: other than galvanize the president's supporters. And I think even
Speaker 1: people who are uneasy with the way President Trump responds
Speaker 1: to his critics have their difficulties with his somewhat coarse
Speaker 1: approach to either journalists or his detractors or just anyone
Speaker 1: he doesn't like. But they see what's going on here
Speaker 1: and they probably say to themselves, well, if we have
Speaker 1: someone who's going to be in a street fight, as
Speaker 1: any Republican president under these circumstances would be just being
Speaker 1: a Republican with the journals and the Democrats being completely
Speaker 1: insane as they are, don't you want a brawler? They've
Speaker 1: put Trump through Russia collusion. He didn't invoke executive privilege
Speaker 1: all the stuff, all the time. They had to look
Speaker 1: through everything, and remember if they had found other criminality,
Speaker 1: if they had found other really impeachable conduct, don't you
Speaker 1: think you would have heard about it that had nothing
Speaker 1: to do with Russia, collusion or obstruction. They'd found something
Speaker 1: else that was the biggest phishing expedition imaginable, funded by
Speaker 1: you the taxpayer, with pro Hillary, anti Trump Democrat lawyers.
Speaker 1: It's a scary thing, just to say out loud, running
Speaker 1: the whole thing, and they weren't able to find anything.
Speaker 1: They weren't able to get anything on Trump. They put
Speaker 1: forward there's oh, maybe there are ten counts of obstruction. No, no,
Speaker 1: if someone obstructs, you have one count here's where they obstructed.
Speaker 1: You don't have ten. You don't create this a la
Speaker 1: carte menu so that that way you never have to
Speaker 1: defend any particular count. You just get to refer to
Speaker 1: the ten. That's not how it works. But now they've
Speaker 1: put Trump through this whole process. Now they have failed
Speaker 1: to make the case. They failed to even peel off
Speaker 1: Trump supporters or independent in this. They're not going to
Speaker 1: get a removal of the presence or what do they want?
Speaker 1: They want witnesses. Well, here's the problem. When the Democrats
Speaker 1: used a zero witnesses talking point, they're lying to you,
Speaker 1: they're being intentionally misleading. House Democrats have called seventeen witnesses.
Speaker 1: How many Republican witnesses? How many Republican designated witnesses have
Speaker 1: been called so far in this entire farce of impeachment? Zero,
Speaker 1: not one seventeen Democrat witnesses, Zero Republican witnesses that are Republican.
Speaker 1: Only the Democrats didn't want to get called right, That
Speaker 1: just didn't happen. That their case was rushed and weak
Speaker 1: is not the Republicans fault or problem. It's Democrats. Partisan
Speaker 1: hack Democrats have made this situation. They should deal with it.
Speaker 1: Republicans are under no obligation to save them. In fact,
Speaker 1: Republicans would be abdicating their duty to their constituents and
Speaker 1: to truth and fairness if they bail out the Democrats
Speaker 1: from the mess they've created for themselves. They should vote
Speaker 1: to end this, and they should exonerate President Trump forthwith
Speaker 1: too sweet right away, You're in the freedom hunt. This
Speaker 1: is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. I think it is
Speaker 1: clear the House managers failed to meet their birth They
Speaker 1: failed to demonstrate unimpeachable offense. They didn't even so much
Speaker 1: as allege that the president committed a crime. The Constitution
Speaker 1: requires high crimes or misdemeanors, and so I am confident
Speaker 1: that at the end of this process, the president will
Speaker 1: be acquitted. I'm confident too good to hear from Senator
Speaker 1: and constitutional scholar Ted Cruz. By the way, there was
Speaker 1: a tweet last night from Alan Dershowitz directed Elizabeth Warren,
Speaker 1: throwing some shade, as they say, effectively telling her just
Speaker 1: because you can understand the presentation that I made, doesn't
Speaker 1: saying about my presentation says a lot more about your
Speaker 1: skills as a lawyer, Elizabeth Warren. I'm just gonna put
Speaker 1: this out there. I was to say, which you will,
Speaker 1: about the dirsh and he's been on a lot of
Speaker 1: sides of a lot of issues. He's a lib. By
Speaker 1: the way, people always forget it. He's a lib. I
Speaker 1: had to debate him once on CNN on gun control.
Speaker 1: He was to take the guns out of everybody's hands. Guy.
Speaker 1: He still is, but he has some respect for the
Speaker 1: law and the process of the law. He does see
Speaker 1: it as a system that's not just completely subject to
Speaker 1: the whims of the Democrat lib mob. At any point
Speaker 1: in time, and as a LIB is willing to tell
Speaker 1: them that, which separate. Same thing with Jonathan Turley, by
Speaker 1: the way, another lib, another LIB that thinks that people
Speaker 1: need to stop pretending the law doesn't say what it
Speaker 1: says just because they really want it to say something else.
Speaker 1: Just because the Democrats have failed. That does not mean
Speaker 1: Republicans should feel the need to bail them out. It
Speaker 1: also doesn't mean that we should believe anything at the
Speaker 1: media is saying at this point because they've been hoping
Speaker 1: in a sense, to restore some if not credibility, some
Speaker 1: belief in their power to direct our politics. I mean,
Speaker 1: the media is supposed to be a check on power,
Speaker 1: but as we know what most journalists are. They are
Speaker 1: the propaganda wing of the Democratic Party. They are the
Speaker 1: zone of dissemination. They're the area in which the information
Speaker 1: from the left gets fed to the rest of us.
Speaker 1: And yes, there's some facts, there's some actual information, like
Speaker 1: what's the weather and is their traffic? But in general
Speaker 1: the narrative is consistently overwhelmingly in favor of the Democrats.
Speaker 1: They see this failure of removal of the president through
Speaker 1: Russia collusion and the Special Council, and now through an
Speaker 1: actual impeachment. They must recognize this as their own failure
Speaker 1: in some way. They just don't have the ability to
Speaker 1: shape and direct perception the way that they used to,
Speaker 1: and they were hoping that this would be an opportunity
Speaker 1: for them to get it back. They're also terrified at
Speaker 1: the notion of former years of a Trump presidency, where
Speaker 1: they will there will be a Republican who's willing to say,
Speaker 1: stop being fake news, stop being jerks, stop lying. I
Speaker 1: like having a president who will say those things to them.
Speaker 1: I much prefer it to the alternative. So clearly they
Speaker 1: disagree with me on that one. Speaking of people who
Speaker 1: disagree with me, Adam Schiff, let's just play. I know
Speaker 1: every time Shift speaks a lot of you feel like
Speaker 1: you got to take a shower. I get it. I
Speaker 1: know he's gross, he's dishonest, huge, huge liar. Adam Shift
Speaker 1: is a liar. It's not just that I think he's
Speaker 1: wrong in things. The guy's a liar who said they
Speaker 1: saw proof of Trump Russia collusion never existed. Why isn't
Speaker 1: he asked about that by every journalist that's now carrying
Speaker 1: water for a moment, Because they're they're like Shifts little
Speaker 1: minions at MSNBC and CNN, etc. Here is what he
Speaker 1: says though about the current state of this case. Play
Speaker 1: thirteen producer Mark I can tell you what my testimony is.
Speaker 1: He's guilty and he should be impeached. And I think
Speaker 1: the idea is an absurd one. But then this is
Speaker 1: what you have to fall back on when you know
Speaker 1: just how damaging John Bolden's testimony is going to be.
Speaker 1: And I would say the same of Unter Biden. If
Speaker 1: they want to a witness for witness, then let them
Speaker 1: call mcmulvny. Mcmulvaney has said that he disputes what John
Speaker 1: Bolden has to say. Let them call mcmulvny, Let them
Speaker 1: call Secretary Pompeo. Let them call people that are percipient
Speaker 1: witnesses to this scandal and this corrupt scheme. If they
Speaker 1: want to witness for witness, but that's not really what
Speaker 1: they want. They want a distraction, and I don't think
Speaker 1: the senators want to allow their proceeding to be turned
Speaker 1: into a circus. Two big problems here with Shift Shifty Shift.
Speaker 1: Two big problems. One, if he can't say let them
Speaker 1: call no, no, let them call who they want to call. Shift.
Speaker 1: That's the point. You don't get to direct who they
Speaker 1: call in the witness for witness squad. But this is
Speaker 1: again a diversion. This is a slimy lawyer tactic. Oh yeah, sure,
Speaker 1: witness for witness. Let's do that. Here are the witness
Speaker 1: for witnesses that we offer. No, you don't get to
Speaker 1: determine what the other side can call as a witness.
Speaker 1: But then there's the bigger problem. How is it that
Speaker 1: Adam Schiff can declare definitively today the president of the
Speaker 1: United States is guilty. He knows he's guilty, there's no
Speaker 1: question about his guilt, But then also in the same
Speaker 1: breath practically declare that they need additional evidence, they need
Speaker 1: more people to weigh in on this, and in the
Speaker 1: absence of that, it hasn't been a fair process. Why
Speaker 1: would you need more evidence if you already know that
Speaker 1: what you think happened is what happened. How can you
Speaker 1: make a declarative statement of someone's guilt when then you're
Speaker 1: also saying the process up to the point of your
Speaker 1: conclusion about that guilt is tainted by the lack of
Speaker 1: additional evidence. How does he juggle that one? He doesn't
Speaker 1: because he's Shifty Shift. Thanks for listening to the Bus
Speaker 1: Sesson Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple Podcasts, the
Speaker 1: iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. And I'm
Speaker 1: also very proud to report that we won a critical
Speaker 1: Supreme Court victory yesterday on immigration. We will now be
Speaker 1: finally able to enforce federal law and ensure that those
Speaker 1: seeking admission to our country are able to support themselves
Speaker 1: financially and not abuse taxpayer funded programs. They were killing
Speaker 1: our country, killing our country. This is a big story,
Speaker 1: my friends, that has gotten almost no attention from the
Speaker 1: mainstream media because they feel like well one, they want
Speaker 1: to focus in on trying to bail out the failed
Speaker 1: Shift impeachment. They want to do everything they can to
Speaker 1: use all of the all of the mechanisms that they
Speaker 1: have the media has at their disposal to bolster the
Speaker 1: case that Donald Trump should be removed from office and
Speaker 1: anything that isn't that right now at this critical juncture,
Speaker 1: to try to resurrect their hopes of undoing the twenty
Speaker 1: sixteen election and interfering using a distortion and abuse of
Speaker 1: congressional process, interfering with the twenty twenty election that if
Speaker 1: that is in fact, what is going on here, Well,
Speaker 1: that's what's going on, and they don't want anything to
Speaker 1: interrupt that process. They don't want anything to be able
Speaker 1: to divert attention from the shining object they're holding up
Speaker 1: here or there to try to get people to think, Oh,
Speaker 1: wait a second, Oh Bolton's testimony, Oh Bolton's testimony. And
Speaker 1: just as an asside President Trump, why did you bring
Speaker 1: Bolton into your administration? Who's idea was this? You know,
Speaker 1: I never get answers about this. It's very opaque the
Speaker 1: process of who around Trump is advising him on top personnel.
Speaker 1: I just I just don't get it. I really don't
Speaker 1: under you know. And now he's making jokes about the
Speaker 1: guy I wanted to start World War six. We all
Speaker 1: knew that Biden. Biden was described in the media as
Speaker 1: a super hawkl though. It is amazing and quite hilarious
Speaker 1: seeing all of these people who were once warning us
Speaker 1: about Biden's warmongering tendencies, you know, the Libs in the
Speaker 1: media and Democrats across the board. Biden wants war. Biden's
Speaker 1: terror I mean, sorry, not Biden. Bolton, wrong, wrong, b
Speaker 1: Bolton wants war. Bolton's out of control. And now they're like,
Speaker 1: Bolton is a truth teller. How could anyone, How could
Speaker 1: anyone doubt the walrus? The walrus is like it's practically
Speaker 1: like the owl of the Great of the Great North,
Speaker 1: of the ice floes, of the tundra. You know, the
Speaker 1: walrus is the wisest of animals. I mean, it's ridiculous,
Speaker 1: but that is where we are. I want to tell
Speaker 1: you the story about what's going on right now in
Speaker 1: the Supreme Well, what just happened in the Supreme Court,
Speaker 1: and how it affects a very important policy that the
Speaker 1: Trump administration is trying to implement right now. Let's just start.
Speaker 1: Let's start with basics on the books. For a very
Speaker 1: long time, there has been a federal there's been federal law,
Speaker 1: federal statute that says that you cannot be in this
Speaker 1: country as an immigrant and be a public charge. This
Speaker 1: is very straightforward. If we're going to have a welfare state,
Speaker 1: as we do, depending on how you gage it, about
Speaker 1: a trillion dollars a year welfare state. But if we're
Speaker 1: going to have a welfare state, then we also have
Speaker 1: to have control over who comes and who goes. Otherwise,
Speaker 1: America is just a piggy bank cracked open for the
Speaker 1: pleasure of whoever decides to show up, come go as
Speaker 1: they please. This is what could be more straightforward than this.
Speaker 1: You're not allowed to be here as an immigrant and
Speaker 1: expect other Americans to pay for you. Not allowed to
Speaker 1: be a public charge. Well the way, and this is
Speaker 1: a reminder of how just decrepit our immigration enforcement has,
Speaker 1: how utterly bereft of sanity. So much of this immigration.
Speaker 1: The way immigration law is enforced or not enforced, is
Speaker 1: really the issue. It has been the case for some
Speaker 1: time that if you are in this country and you
Speaker 1: rely on public benefits, and this is for people that
Speaker 1: are trying to become Green card holders or US citizens,
Speaker 1: or people that are applying for visas me meaning you know,
Speaker 1: they can look at them, they can essentially try to
Speaker 1: gauge whether they will become a public charge if they
Speaker 1: come into the country. So it's a pretty broad range
Speaker 1: of errors immigration law. This touches on. But the way
Speaker 1: it had been interpreted for a long time now was well,
Speaker 1: unless you're only going to rely on cash benefits, direct
Speaker 1: wealth fair payments, you don't fall under the prohibition of
Speaker 1: people who come into this country and are a public charge.
Speaker 1: So that means food stamps, housing aid, medicaid, whatever, you know,
Speaker 1: free healthcare, free food, free housing. You can avail yourselves
Speaker 1: of all of those things and somehow not be considered
Speaker 1: a public charge as somebody who is either coming to
Speaker 1: America or trying to become an American. Because despite what
Speaker 1: Democrats think, just arriving on a you know, in an airplane,
Speaker 1: or walking across a land border somewhere or coming over
Speaker 1: on a boat and just standing in America does not
Speaker 1: legally or otherwise make you an American. There's something more
Speaker 1: to it than that. There is a process. We do
Speaker 1: have laws. We Democrats Now it's oh wait, I mean
Speaker 1: you're here, you're gonna vote Democrat. You're an American. That's
Speaker 1: the way that they approach it. Great, you need welfare, fantastic,
Speaker 1: Then you're definitely gonna vote Democrat. That's their perception. That's
Speaker 1: the way that they then that's the reason that they
Speaker 1: then undermine so much of US immigration law. So what happened? Now?
Speaker 1: Why am I telling you about the public charge rule?
Speaker 1: Because I think a lot of people are surprised to
Speaker 1: hear that. Wait, you can't just show up here and
Speaker 1: be on welfare and and sponsor, you know, through chain migration,
Speaker 1: you know, half a dozen or a dozen more family
Speaker 1: members and everyone gets to be on welfare. And there's
Speaker 1: no problem with this in our immigration system, an immigration
Speaker 1: system that by the way, I just was speaking recently
Speaker 1: to a friend, you know, very high powered, very high
Speaker 1: powered friend who's who's from Turkey, and he's like, look,
Speaker 1: I've lost my job and I can't find someone to
Speaker 1: sponsor my visa. I think I got to go back home.
Speaker 1: And you sit here like, so you have to the
Speaker 1: person that has all the skills and ability, and it is,
Speaker 1: you know, but but I had to transfer jobs, you know,
Speaker 1: and can't find someone to sponsor a visa. That person
Speaker 1: has to go home. And Democrats are like, eh, I
Speaker 1: don't feel for that person. He might want to keep
Speaker 1: some of the money that he's earning, so he might
Speaker 1: be a Republican. We don't like that. But if you
Speaker 1: come here and you say, well, I want free housing
Speaker 1: or greatly subsidize housing, and I want you know, of
Speaker 1: food stamps, and I want free healthcare and of course
Speaker 1: you know, in state tuition for college and all those
Speaker 1: other things that the Democrats want to give illegals and
Speaker 1: let them vote, which they want to do that too.
Speaker 1: That's for the Democratic Party and all these activist pro
Speaker 1: immigrant groups. That's no problem. They think that's fine. So
Speaker 1: people that come play by all the rules and go
Speaker 1: through our you know, byzantine visa process and don't want
Speaker 1: to overstay their visa because they want to be able,
Speaker 1: they want to be on the right side of American law.
Speaker 1: They have to suffer the consequences, go home, apply for
Speaker 1: new visas, get someone to sponsor their either. They have
Speaker 1: to go through all this stuff when all they're doing
Speaker 1: is actually pay. You know, they're paying taxes and they're
Speaker 1: not getting there's not going to be any benefit unless
Speaker 1: they become a Green card holder or a citizen. They're
Speaker 1: not going to get any benefit of a lot of
Speaker 1: the taxes they end up paying as a legal employee
Speaker 1: a legal immigrant here. And so then we get to all, right,
Speaker 1: what comes up next here? So now we've got this
Speaker 1: establishment of whether or not you're going to be a
Speaker 1: public charge, what's the next point that we have to
Speaker 1: look at, And it would be that the federal courts,
Speaker 1: which are being used, as we know as a hashtag
Speaker 1: resistance tool against the president, mostly Obama pointees. In fact,
Speaker 1: it's often the same judges. These same judges are becoming
Speaker 1: heroes to the left, especially in San Francisco Ninth Circuit
Speaker 1: Court of Appeals. I mean, you look at where this
Speaker 1: has happening, keeps happening the same places, and there's an
Speaker 1: abuse of universal the process can be abused by bad
Speaker 1: faith actors. And there are judges who are doing that.
Speaker 1: They're judges who hate Trump. They're sitting there, federal judge
Speaker 1: sitting on the bench and they go, oh, I don't
Speaker 1: like this thing. The Trump administration is going to do
Speaker 1: boom universal injunction. And their reasoning has been as flimsy
Speaker 1: as things like, well, I don't like things Trump said,
Speaker 1: and this is I don't like what Trump said on
Speaker 1: the campaign trail, and how that maybe affects this issue.
Speaker 1: So even though the legal authority is clearly there and statute,
Speaker 1: and from a statutory perspective, the Trump administration is correct,
Speaker 1: I'm going to say, nope, nowhere in the country are
Speaker 1: you able to do this universal injunction. And you might say, well,
Speaker 1: how many times this happen is happening dozens of times?
Speaker 1: Now they keep doing it over and over again, and
Speaker 1: they keep losing when it goes to the Supreme Court. Well,
Speaker 1: now we have another instance of exactly that happening five four, which,
Speaker 1: when five four goes the way Libs wanted to the
Speaker 1: Supreme Court is sacrosanct. How dare you question it? Right? Obamacare,
Speaker 1: Obamacare is absolutely constitutional five four decision in its favor. Well,
Speaker 1: this was a five four decision that remove the universal injunction.
Speaker 1: Doesn't it's not a final decision, but it removes the
Speaker 1: universal injunction that one federal judge put on the Department
Speaker 1: of Homeland Security saying, oh, no, it's a wealth test.
Speaker 1: You're not allowed to con sitter even though it's a
Speaker 1: function of law. It's in the text. You're not allowed
Speaker 1: to consider whether an immigrant is a public charge. You're
Speaker 1: not allowed to consider whether somebody who was a green
Speaker 1: card hold that they're going to become a citizen is
Speaker 1: on welfare benefits. I mean, the Democrat platform on immigration
Speaker 1: is effectively, don't enforce the laws and bring the poorest
Speaker 1: non English speaking people you can into this country by
Speaker 1: the millions, because that's going to make this a better, richer,
Speaker 1: more law abiding place. That's effectively of the Democratic Party's
Speaker 1: view on this issue, and what the law says doesn't
Speaker 1: really matter. There are a party of lawlessness, which, as
Speaker 1: we know, creates more lawlessness. If you don't enforce something
Speaker 1: for a long time, then the case just becomes well,
Speaker 1: they don't enforce it, So why you're gonna enforce it now?
Speaker 1: If this law is not enforced, why should that law
Speaker 1: be enforced. I mean, it erodes the entire foundation of
Speaker 1: rule of law on immigration and everything else. That's what
Speaker 1: the Democrats do. And then the abuse of these judges
Speaker 1: with universal injunctions. This is outrageous. Attorney General Barr has
Speaker 1: raised this is this is it is truly. They always
Speaker 1: say Trump does is unprecedented, and then they find out,
Speaker 1: like every president before him did this thing. This is unprecedented.
Speaker 1: There were only a handful of injunctions against Obama. By
Speaker 1: the way, those injunctions were right, they're upheld. These injunctions
Speaker 1: against Trump are over and over and over again from
Speaker 1: Libs who are in hysterics on the federal bench, and
Speaker 1: they keep getting overturned. No, you can't do that now,
Speaker 1: you can't just not like this. As a judge, it'd say,
Speaker 1: I override the executive branch. I override the President of
Speaker 1: the United States and the entire branch of government that
Speaker 1: he heads up. That's where we are now. So yeah,
Speaker 1: that's right. If you're going to come to America and
Speaker 1: rely on welfare benefits, maybe you're not the best choice
Speaker 1: of an immigrant for a country that tells a lot
Speaker 1: of other people you can't be here. You know, you're
Speaker 1: you know, you're a Romanian PhD. And you're gonna do
Speaker 1: advanced research on curing cancer. Hey, you're gonna have to
Speaker 1: jump through a lot of hoops. You know, you want
Speaker 1: to come here from Ghana and you speak you know,
Speaker 1: five languages, and you're gonna be doing advanced research on
Speaker 1: you know, the aerodynamics of a new fighter plane or something.
Speaker 1: You know, Hey, you gotta jump through a lot of hoops.
Speaker 1: You know, Romanian, Ghanaian, you know, whoever. But you're just
Speaker 1: gonna show up from some country and be like, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm an America. Now I'm gonna get as much as
Speaker 1: I can a lot of benefits, bring my family more
Speaker 1: benefits for them. That's fine. The Democrats say, how dare
Speaker 1: you challenge that? Why do we even have an immigration system?
Speaker 1: Then they don't have an answer for this, of course,
Speaker 1: because what are they doing? Seeking power? That's what this
Speaker 1: is all about. You're in the freedom hunt. This is
Speaker 1: the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Is Hunter Biden irrelevant witness? Senator?
Speaker 1: You know? I think so, I really do. I don't
Speaker 1: have a problem there, because this is why we are
Speaker 1: where we are now. I think that he can clear
Speaker 1: himself of what I know and what I've heard. But
Speaker 1: being afraid to put anybody that might have pertinent information
Speaker 1: is wrong, no matter if you're Democrat or Republican. Let's
Speaker 1: break this down for a moment. That's Mansion, a Democrat
Speaker 1: from West Virginia who did vote to confirm Kavanaugh, by
Speaker 1: the way, you gotta remember that, probably because he realized
Speaker 1: that about seventy percent of West Virginians wanted him to
Speaker 1: and he wanted to keep his job. But here's Mansion
Speaker 1: being asked the question by Willie Geist, who I've never met,
Speaker 1: but I've awash heard. It was actually a very nice
Speaker 1: fellow from people who do know asked his Hunter Biden
Speaker 1: a relevant witness. And let me break down for you
Speaker 1: why the answer has to be yes, there there can be.
Speaker 1: They can try all these contortions about it it's not relevant.
Speaker 1: It's not relevant. No, it's absolutely relevant. What is the
Speaker 1: crime here? Well, as we know there is no crime,
Speaker 1: they're not alleging a crime. What is the misdeed abuse
Speaker 1: of power? What is central to the claim that Trump
Speaker 1: abuses power? That and this is the this is the
Speaker 1: beginning of the of the entire Maelstrom. It's a fun
Speaker 1: word that we find ourselves in right now, right, So
Speaker 1: what is what is central to all of that? That
Speaker 1: when the President asked about the Bidens and Barisma, that
Speaker 1: there was no basis for that, that there was no
Speaker 1: reason for the President of the United States to ask
Speaker 1: about corruption involving the Bidens in Barisma. That is, say,
Speaker 1: if in fact Hunter Biden was engaged in criminal corruption
Speaker 1: with Burisma, which we don't know because we haven't looked
Speaker 1: into it to our satisfaction yet, Yeah, we get to
Speaker 1: investigate things too. If in fact that is the case,
Speaker 1: then the entire rest of the narrative the Democrats have
Speaker 1: falls apart because of the president had a legitimate ask.
Speaker 1: If the President had real reason to think that there
Speaker 1: was as I believe he did, and does real reason
Speaker 1: to think that there was something illicit going on there
Speaker 1: or something that, even if not illegal, was corruption that
Speaker 1: affected the implementation of executive branch policy in Ukraine. Again
Speaker 1: not a crime, but elicit wrong, problematic. The president is
Speaker 1: allowed to ask if it's a legitimate national interest, as
Speaker 1: we have declared Ukraine is an essential national interest, the
Speaker 1: president is allowed to ask the question. So if at
Speaker 1: the center of this you have Hunter Biden and the
Speaker 1: ask about his conduct, which the Democrats have skipped, the
Speaker 1: part of this that they'd skip passed right away as
Speaker 1: clearly there was no it was a conspiracy theory. They say,
Speaker 1: there's no reason to think there's anything wrong here. No,
Speaker 1: there's plenty of reason to think there's something wrong here,
Speaker 1: and no serious person says otherwise. There's plenty of reason
Speaker 1: to think there's something wrong. Okay, So then doesn't that
Speaker 1: make Hunter Biden relevant to this? Of course it does.
Speaker 1: But you see, the Democrats at this point are pushing
Speaker 1: for the optics. The Democrats at this point are doing
Speaker 1: everything in their power to make sure that if nothing else,
Speaker 1: this whole thing looks bad for Trump. They're not going
Speaker 1: to get him removed. They're not going to get him
Speaker 1: taken from office, but at least they want to be
Speaker 1: able to cut some campaign commercials using witnesses like Bolton
Speaker 1: and you know, calling Trump a liar, and that's what
Speaker 1: they're gonna say. Look at Bolton, you know, the wal Risk.
Speaker 1: Everyone should trust him, the wise old wal Risk. How
Speaker 1: could anybody? And that's where we are, That's what this
Speaker 1: really boils down to. So I give some credit here
Speaker 1: to Mansion, who you know, it's a guy that has
Speaker 1: to play a little bit. How Mansion is Now you
Speaker 1: should just be in the Republican Party at this point,
Speaker 1: I mean, I can't imagine that he But if we
Speaker 1: are going to look at the reality of a witness swap,
Speaker 1: there is no real case to be made. There's no
Speaker 1: real case to be made that Hunter Biden is not
Speaker 1: irrelevant witness, because it is in fact the question about
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden that is the is the genesis, is the
Speaker 1: origin story of this entire fiasco. That's what this all
Speaker 1: comes down to. And if Trump's ask about the Bidens
Speaker 1: and Bizma Bisma was legitimate, everything else the Democrats have said,
Speaker 1: the whistleblower, all this other crap is a waste and
Speaker 1: a lie. So Democrats can't risk that. And if they're
Speaker 1: not going to give us a witness for witness swap
Speaker 1: and we do this. Republicans are completely insane. I think
Speaker 1: they're insane if they don't just shut it down this week.
Speaker 1: Thanks for listening to the Bus Sesson Show podcast. Remember
Speaker 1: to subscribe on Apple Podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever
Speaker 1: you get your podcasts. My vision presents a win win
Speaker 1: opportunity for both sides, a realistic two state solution that
Speaker 1: resolves the risk of Palace City and statehood to Israel's security.
Speaker 1: This is the first time Israel has authorized the release
Speaker 1: of a conceptual map illustrating the territorial compromises it's willing
Speaker 1: to make for the cause of peace, and they've gone
Speaker 1: a long way. This is an precedented and highly significant development.
Speaker 1: Mister Prime Minister, thank you for having the courage to
Speaker 1: take this bold step forward. Palestinians will be able to
Speaker 1: seize the new future with dignity, self sufficiency, and national
Speaker 1: pride to ensure a successful Palestinian state. We are asking
Speaker 1: the Palestinians to meet the challenges of peaceful coexistence. President
Speaker 1: Trump talking about the newly unveiled really offer in the
Speaker 1: start of a peace process between Israelis and Palestinians, We've
Speaker 1: brought in our friend David Ifu now to talk to
Speaker 1: us about what this really means. He's the editor in
Speaker 1: chief of the Alga Minor Old buddy, mind, Dobvid Thanks
Speaker 1: so much, always a pleasure, Bud. All right, so first
Speaker 1: let's start with the president there is talking about and
Speaker 1: is really step forward? What are the steps that I've
Speaker 1: been taken? I mean, what got us to this point?
Speaker 1: What's the president talking about? Well, I think you know,
Speaker 1: they've looked back at what's been discussed AND's what's been
Speaker 1: tried in the past, and I think what's unique about
Speaker 1: the approach that they've taken. You know, it's what I
Speaker 1: would describe as a massacre of sacred cows. There've been
Speaker 1: so much that's been standardized about the way these discussions
Speaker 1: have taken place over the last decades, and it really
Speaker 1: appears like they've tried to look at this with a fresh, stivised,
Speaker 1: fresh approach and say, look, it hasn't worked until now,
Speaker 1: let's try something new here. And there are a few
Speaker 1: elements to what they're doing that are completely new. I
Speaker 1: think first and most importantly is their willingness to apply
Speaker 1: pressure to the Palestinian side as well as incentives. You know,
Speaker 1: in the past it's sort of been pressure to the
Speaker 1: Israelis and then incentivize the Palestinians. Here they're willing to
Speaker 1: pressure the Palestinian side as well. Hopefully it will be
Speaker 1: yield different results, even though not many are optimistic. But
Speaker 1: I think there are a few incredible things that Trump
Speaker 1: has actually been able to achieve on the Israeli side,
Speaker 1: and that is, you know, almost unified endorsement of this
Speaker 1: approach from the top political players. You know, the way
Speaker 1: things have enfolded in the past, you had the government
Speaker 1: was behind potential perspective American peace plans, and then the
Speaker 1: opposition would oppose it, you know, as vehemently as possible.
Speaker 1: Now you have the opposition and the government you know,
Speaker 1: so far at this stage, because we don't know what
Speaker 1: the government would look like in six or eight weeks time,
Speaker 1: but it seems that whatever the outcome is, they'll have
Speaker 1: ground to stand on to be able to move forward.
Speaker 1: I think another thing that's a go ahead. Another thing
Speaker 1: that's super important is that they've been able to address
Speaker 1: in a real comprehensive fashion Israel's legitimate security needs. I mean,
Speaker 1: the country has been traumatized by the aftermath of the
Speaker 1: Also Chords and by the two thousand and five disengagement
Speaker 1: from Gaza. Basically every inch of territory they've ever pulled
Speaker 1: out from has become a hotbed of weaponry and attacks,
Speaker 1: you know, against the Jewish state. So Israelis are really
Speaker 1: really reluctant to engage in anything like this. But by
Speaker 1: insisting that that whatever territory the Palestinians control is demilitarized,
Speaker 1: and by ensuring that Aralis still maintained security control over
Speaker 1: those areas, especially in the Jordan Valley, I think it
Speaker 1: certainly puts the Israeli security hawks at ease over you know,
Speaker 1: what the security implications would be of having you know,
Speaker 1: effectively a hostile state established in the midst of their territory.
Speaker 1: But now, how would this Let's just we'll get into
Speaker 1: how this might fail in a second, but let's start
Speaker 1: with if you know, so the Israelis say, looks like
Speaker 1: they're politically unified on this, how would this proceed if
Speaker 1: the Palestinians were willing to at least move this off
Speaker 1: first base, what would that look like and what would happen?
Speaker 1: First of all, just for the record, my personal review.
Speaker 1: My person on view is that no territorial concessions are
Speaker 1: a good idea because you know, you can't. You have
Speaker 1: to take into consideration the response of the other side,
Speaker 1: and you know, the track record is pretty pretty clear.
Speaker 1: Any concession has left has led to more bloodshed and
Speaker 1: just a continuation of this conflict. But that's you know,
Speaker 1: we're that's my own personal view. We're analyzing, you know,
Speaker 1: how things may play out. In the event the Pastinians
Speaker 1: come to table, they might have some pushback. You know.
Speaker 1: Jared Kushner in an interview with CNN invited Palestinians to
Speaker 1: sort of haggle on details, so you know, they'd say, well,
Speaker 1: we liked this part of it, we don't like this
Speaker 1: part of it. You know, we're willing to accept this.
Speaker 1: We're not willing to accept that that that might be
Speaker 1: a reasonable approach. I don't think there's any chance of
Speaker 1: that happening. The response is a day of rage, And
Speaker 1: I think Kushner said it right. You know, you're not
Speaker 1: ready to take the responsibility of statehood and behalf of
Speaker 1: the people. If you're response to a reasonable proposal is
Speaker 1: a day of rage. Well, let me actually have Jared
Speaker 1: Kushner in a sense way in here producer Mark play sixteen. Please.
Speaker 1: It's a big opportunity for the Palestinians, and you know
Speaker 1: they have a perfect track record of blowing every opportunity
Speaker 1: they've had in their past. But perhaps maybe their leadership
Speaker 1: will read the details of it, stop posturing and do
Speaker 1: what's best to try to make the Palestinian people's lives better.
Speaker 1: What do you think he's right about that? And you
Speaker 1: know people will say, well, they've been often much better
Speaker 1: stuff in the past, so why would they accept this.
Speaker 1: That's also true. But you know something a lot has
Speaker 1: changed since in The people are moving on, the region
Speaker 1: is moving on. You know, relations with between the isae
Speaker 1: out states are developing regardless of the Palestinians, and frankly
Speaker 1: they're they're getting left in the dust. So yes, you
Speaker 1: might have got a better offer for your taxi medallion
Speaker 1: a year ago, but now it's not worth the same amount.
Speaker 1: And the current see that the Palestine is held is
Speaker 1: growing weaker by the day. I think Coast is right,
Speaker 1: Trump is right. This is really a last opportunity for them,
Speaker 1: and you know they can turn around to squander it.
Speaker 1: And then the response from certainly many of the reason
Speaker 1: it's going to be. Look, you had your chance, you
Speaker 1: blew it. We don't really care about about anything that
Speaker 1: you have to say at this stage. If Azrael wants
Speaker 1: to go ahead and annex the territory, you know it's
Speaker 1: justified to do so. I mean that seems to be
Speaker 1: what the response in the United States is. They're saying
Speaker 1: four year halt on new settlements. But at the end
Speaker 1: of that four years, if the Palestine is having come
Speaker 1: to the table, and obviously if Trump is still in office,
Speaker 1: he would probably finish off his term, his second term
Speaker 1: if he's elected for a second term by you know,
Speaker 1: accepting Israeli sovereignty over that entire region. What's basically the
Speaker 1: offer that they have on the table right now. So
Speaker 1: what do you think they the objection? I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: you mentioned that they've already had like a day, a
Speaker 1: day of rage, and there's people lightened, things on fire
Speaker 1: and yelling and protesting on the Palestinian side, which that
Speaker 1: is very unfortunately, that is kind of a cliche at
Speaker 1: this point. Whenever there's a piece offer me, there's always
Speaker 1: Palestinians who freak out and burn things and get mad.
Speaker 1: But explain to me what the what are their objections.
Speaker 1: They're above board, you know, out in public objections likely
Speaker 1: to be over where this process is now from the
Speaker 1: Trump administration. Look, if this would have been the first
Speaker 1: time that they had rejected a peace deal, you know,
Speaker 1: you might want to it might make sense of delve
Speaker 1: into the details and say, well, it has this in
Speaker 1: it that they don't like, in that that they don't like.
Speaker 1: But they've rejected every peace deal that's been on the table.
Speaker 1: They rejected peace deals from Baroque, from Homer, from you know,
Speaker 1: going all the way back to the UN Partition Plan.
Speaker 1: There's never been a peace deal that they have accepted.
Speaker 1: You know, the Palestinian charts of the PLO charts of
Speaker 1: the Palestinian Authority still calls for the right of return
Speaker 1: of some you know, seven million refugees into Israel proper.
Speaker 1: So the position, the unmovable position of the Palestinian leadership
Speaker 1: at this stage has been we don't want any choose
Speaker 1: in the levant at all. Ever, and you know, if
Speaker 1: if that's if that, if they're not willing to move
Speaker 1: to take a step away from that stance, which they
Speaker 1: haven't shown any willingness or ability to do so, frankly,
Speaker 1: over the course of of not you know, the Trump presidency,
Speaker 1: but the course of the history of this conflict. Then
Speaker 1: you know, I think the Trump approach is the right one.
Speaker 1: It's psych Listen, you know, at this stage, we've had enough.
Speaker 1: It's it's here's your option, you know, take it, come
Speaker 1: to the table, have a real discussion, or we're moving
Speaker 1: the hell on. We've had enough of this. You can't
Speaker 1: hold the region hostage any longer. Is it true that
Speaker 1: this is not? This is not Is it fair to
Speaker 1: call this? Would you call us a pathway to a
Speaker 1: two eight solution? Or how should this be thought of
Speaker 1: by people that would like to see this resolve? Then,
Speaker 1: as you point out, even the region is kind of
Speaker 1: I mean, I remember I worked for Dennis Ross Gosh,
Speaker 1: I don't know, almost twenty years ago now and the
Speaker 1: Clinton years. I mean, getting an Arab Israeli peace dealing
Speaker 1: yourself now, But I know, I know that's I'm a
Speaker 1: great beard millennial darted although my beard is not as
Speaker 1: dope as Dovid's beard. His beard is legit. But you know,
Speaker 1: I remember when that that was the if you could
Speaker 1: pick a foreign policy challenge, that the across the board.
Speaker 1: The intelligency in this country could have had a hand
Speaker 1: in fixing it. Was the Israeli Palestinian issue, really, I mean,
Speaker 1: that was the one that everybody was so focused on
Speaker 1: late nine these early two thousands. It does you know,
Speaker 1: Israel has secured itself, has built the barriers, understands how
Speaker 1: to keep its people safe. So, I mean, is this
Speaker 1: kind of the last you think, this might be the
Speaker 1: last gasp of even trying to do anything other than
Speaker 1: just okay, status quo favors Israel. I mean, what happens
Speaker 1: if the Palestinians reject this, Well, I think you know,
Speaker 1: history will continue to march right on by them. I mean,
Speaker 1: these are people have moved on. They tried the other
Speaker 1: records in the nineties, they tried the disengagement, and they
Speaker 1: firmly reached a conclusion that territorial compromise is not the
Speaker 1: way to go. And you know, you see that repeated
Speaker 1: Israeli governments. I mean, even the major opposition party, the
Speaker 1: bloom White Party, you know, is not in favor of
Speaker 1: the kind of you know, peace concessions that Barak and
Speaker 1: Alma had made in the past. The Israeli people who
Speaker 1: moved on. At this stage, it looks like the sort
Speaker 1: of west leaning moderate sunny states Gulf states are moving on.
Speaker 1: They no longer see. So the Palestinian issue is center
Speaker 1: up to their relations with the Israelis. There are other
Speaker 1: issues I think behind the scenes that also applies with
Speaker 1: the Egyptians and the Tradanians. So really, you know, I
Speaker 1: think you know, what what Trump is saying is absolutely right.
Speaker 1: I mean, their history is marching on by. And yes,
Speaker 1: for a long time the Palestinians could hold the a
Speaker 1: Israelis hostage, but now they don't hold that much sway anymore.
Speaker 1: You know, things have changed, Things have changed on the ground,
Speaker 1: the culture has changed, the geopolitical landscape has changed, it's shifted,
Speaker 1: and you know, I think you know, you're asking what
Speaker 1: the outcome will be. Obviously it'll depend a great deal
Speaker 1: and whether this administration is still in office in four
Speaker 1: years time. But if they are, and if they're in
Speaker 1: a in a position to see this thing all the
Speaker 1: way through, I think they're they're just going to say, look,
Speaker 1: you know what, Israel, you can do whatever you want
Speaker 1: to this stage, we agree with you. There's absolutely nobody home,
Speaker 1: nobody talked to and you know, we can't just you know,
Speaker 1: put this whole region on pause until the Palestinians wake up.
Speaker 1: Dovit and Food and everybody. Editor in chief of the
Speaker 1: Alga Minor, they're doing great work. Or check out the
Speaker 1: Alga Minor online today, Dovid, thanks so much. Al is
Speaker 1: a pleasure, But you're in the Freedom High This is
Speaker 1: the Buck Sexton Show podcast. The House managers decided in
Speaker 1: the House they didn't want to call John Bolton. John
Speaker 1: Bolton went to a federal district court affirmative and went
Speaker 1: to a federal district court and said, Judge, I will
Speaker 1: follow your directions if you tell me, judge that I
Speaker 1: should testify. Despite the President and the White House were
Speaker 1: invoking an executive privilege. John Bolton said he would testify,
Speaker 1: and the House managers went to the district court and
Speaker 1: affirmatively said, no, we're not seeking John Bolton's testimony. We're
Speaker 1: not going to subpoena John Bolton. We're not going to
Speaker 1: try to get him to testify. And having made that decision,
Speaker 1: they made the decision in the House it wasn't worth it.
Speaker 1: They didn't need his testimony. What's going on now? The
Speaker 1: House managers haven't proven their case. They know they haven't,
Speaker 1: and so they just want to drag this on. They're
Speaker 1: playing a delay game. They want to keep this open
Speaker 1: for weeks and weeks and months and months and play
Speaker 1: delay and try to go fishing and try to find
Speaker 1: something because they haven't proven their case yet. I don't
Speaker 1: think that's that is a strategy that is in the
Speaker 1: interest of the American people. I think the American people
Speaker 1: are ready to move on. They're tired of this this circus.
Speaker 1: And I hope that that that that we do, that
Speaker 1: we move on, and I hope on Saturday we vote
Speaker 1: on final judgment and we acquit the president. We find
Speaker 1: the President not guilty. Amen. I like Ted Cruz when
Speaker 1: he's all fired up like that. I agree with everything
Speaker 1: that he said there, and I don't always agree with that,
Speaker 1: but usually I do. I agree with everything that he
Speaker 1: said there, completely correct, spot on. That is what is
Speaker 1: going on here. That is the game that they're playing,
Speaker 1: and they should vote to acquit on I guess it's
Speaker 1: on Saturday they're saying, now, should this thing should be
Speaker 1: over and done with? Let's just move on. Remember move
Speaker 1: on dot Org, the left wing site of just Collected
Speaker 1: bile and left wing refuse. Move on dot Org started
Speaker 1: out as a site about move on from the impeachment
Speaker 1: to Bill Clinton. It's amazing, isn't it? And now if
Speaker 1: you look at move on, it's, oh, we must impede Trump.
Speaker 1: They don't move on anymore. No more moving on. They've
Speaker 1: moved on enough. They've moved on enough. Oh man, it's
Speaker 1: it's pretty amazing, isn't it. They should just do this,
Speaker 1: they should move to a quit the pres the United States.
Speaker 1: But there's an interesting development. This is will made me
Speaker 1: think that we should just return to this for a moment.
Speaker 1: Reported here in Politico. One of the big weaknesses of
Speaker 1: this effort to take down Trump has been that it
Speaker 1: is not even in the least bipartisan, not a single
Speaker 1: Republican member of the House voting to impeach the president
Speaker 1: of the United States. This has been a straight party
Speaker 1: line impeachment which everyone until today, everyone would have agreed
Speaker 1: until now, until Democrats want something. I want that. That's
Speaker 1: what Democrats think. The law means, the Constitution means I
Speaker 1: want it. That's why. That's what it is. That's all
Speaker 1: that matters. That's why I say that the Party of
Speaker 1: Cry babies. The rules don't matter, the constitution doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: They'll be hypocritical, they'll make demands, they'll lie about one
Speaker 1: thing and change their mind the next, and it's just crazy.
Speaker 1: Everybody would have agreed that you need to have a
Speaker 1: bipartisan impeachment until today. Now, all of a sudden, we've
Speaker 1: changed our mind. All of a sudden, there's something else
Speaker 1: going on. It's different. Okay, well, as I says, because
Speaker 1: Democrats want something. But here you have political reporting. Quote.
Speaker 1: A trio of moderate Senate Democrats is wrestling with whether
Speaker 1: to vote to convict Donald Trump in his impeachment trial
Speaker 1: or give the president the bipartisan acquittal. He's eagerly seeking Democrats.
Speaker 1: Senators Joe Mansion there he is again a West Virginia Kirstin,
Speaker 1: not to be confused with Kristin Cinema of Arizona and
Speaker 1: Doug Jones of Alabama are undecided on whether to vote
Speaker 1: to remove the president from office and are struggling over
Speaker 1: where to land, said Mansion. It's a decision that could
Speaker 1: have major ramifications for each senator's agacy and political prospects,
Speaker 1: as well as shape the broader political dynamics surrounding impeachment
Speaker 1: heading into the twenty twenty election. This would be big,
Speaker 1: This would be meaningful if you had a number, not
Speaker 1: just one of a three Democrat senators who say, sorry,
Speaker 1: not going to go along with this sham impeachment of
Speaker 1: the president, because then what you would have is a
Speaker 1: political process that has shown zero Republican support for the
Speaker 1: conviction side, for the get Trump side, and has shown
Speaker 1: Democrat support for the This whole thing was wrong. They're
Speaker 1: wrong to do this, and of course they have been
Speaker 1: wrong to do this, But this is where you have
Speaker 1: to think, Okay, well, at least be there's some Democrats
Speaker 1: that have the good sense to be considering Christian cinema.
Speaker 1: By the way, I mean, she's gonna you know, she's
Speaker 1: up for a she's in a different to stay for
Speaker 1: a Democrat to win these days, tough to win as
Speaker 1: a socialist in some places. Unfortunately, too easy to win
Speaker 1: as a socialist in Massachusetts, California, New York other places.
Speaker 1: You still to pretend you like the constitution and capitalism.
Speaker 1: So that helps Republicans sometimes because Democrats can't get away
Speaker 1: with being complete commies. But then you have the Mitt
Speaker 1: Romney and Susan Collins and I think there's one or
Speaker 1: two others who are just still thinking about maybe extending
Speaker 1: this to give the Democrats what they want side of things.
Speaker 1: And with Mitt Romney, it's just it's just all hubris,
Speaker 1: it's just all arrogance. I used to think Mitt was,
Speaker 1: you know, a really I don't know. I thought he
Speaker 1: came across as an earnest, decent guy, and now I
Speaker 1: realized Mitt Romney's a really arrogant guy. Thanks for listening
Speaker 1: to The Bus Sesson Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on

Speaker 1: your podcasts. Mister President, thank you for all you've done too.
Speaker 1: I'd respect and resources to our military, to our great veterans,
Speaker 1: having the best economy in the world. Two new trade deals,
Speaker 1: two Supreme Court justices, two dead terrorists. That's two terms
Speaker 1: two two two equals two. I'm not sure but the
Speaker 1: math on that, but the politics works out. Two new
Speaker 1: trade deals, two Supreme Court justices, two dead terrorists referring
Speaker 1: to Kastam Salamani and Albubakr al Baghdadi not equals two
Speaker 1: terms for the president. This was one of the more memorable,
Speaker 1: one of the more memorable moments from last night. You know,
Speaker 1: I've actually been in Wildwood, New Jersey, and it was
Speaker 1: by accident. Not that Wildwood is not an amazing place.
Speaker 1: It's actually quite lovely. I had a very nice meal there.
Speaker 1: I enjoyed it. But I was going to the Delaware
Speaker 1: beach and I didn't realize that there is a ferry.
Speaker 1: If you can drive all the way down for the
Speaker 1: tip of southern New Jersey, there's a ferry that'll take
Speaker 1: you to uh to the Delaware side. But if you
Speaker 1: missed the last ferry, you got to like drive all
Speaker 1: the way back up and it's a it's a nightmare.
Speaker 1: You don't want to do that. So I ended up
Speaker 1: missing the last ferry because I didn't do my due
Speaker 1: diligence and stayed in Wildwood for the night, which where
Speaker 1: Trump hads rally last night. And I'll tell you, producer Mark,
Speaker 1: Wildwood is quite lovely. Actually, wait, hold on, you were
Speaker 1: late for something that's cold, you know, Does it always
Speaker 1: have to be like that? You know, I'm trying to
Speaker 1: give a shout out. I always think of you as
Speaker 1: a b a guy who liked New Jersey, but you're
Speaker 1: actually Long Island guy. I'm thinking of moving in New Jersey.
Speaker 1: That's right. Though it saddens me because I've called it
Speaker 1: the armpit of America for a very long time. While
Speaker 1: you're gonna be living in the armpit, then I know
Speaker 1: you're gonna while. Although I think it's about a two
Speaker 1: and a yeah, that's so. Yeah, that's way down there. Um,
Speaker 1: But so that's a nice beach. Actually got to check
Speaker 1: out the beach a little cold, but I mean it
Speaker 1: was still nice. So I have to say it was
Speaker 1: quite quite lovely. I highly recommend if you meant a
Speaker 1: lot of people love that area of the board, I'll
Speaker 1: call that stuff. Yeah. Yeah, And and last night you
Speaker 1: had thousands and thousands of people who were gathered last night. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Cape May the Cape May Ferry producer Eric actually just
Speaker 1: sent that one to me, The Cape May Fairy. That
Speaker 1: was the one that I was trying to trying to
Speaker 1: get to, and yeah, I missed it, and so I
Speaker 1: had to spend the nine while I went to a
Speaker 1: great restaurants. Really fun. Anyways, all these thousands of people
Speaker 1: gathered last night. You see this Trump rally that happens
Speaker 1: thousands inside, thousands outside. It's it's really a cultural event.
Speaker 1: I mean when you see the way that people will
Speaker 1: line up for hours and hours, it's as though they're
Speaker 1: going to see their favorite rock band of all time
Speaker 1: and they're going to see President Trump speak. We're going
Speaker 1: to have a lot more of this. There's no dampening
Speaker 1: of enthusiasm. I remember when you know, when Bush, for example,
Speaker 1: ran for reelection, it was you know, we had the
Speaker 1: wars going on, and it was a little bit of
Speaker 1: a rally around the commander in chief situation. But he
Speaker 1: wasn't good. There weren't rallies where there were people that
Speaker 1: were camped out by the thousands, you know, over night
Speaker 1: on the street to make sure they'd get into And
Speaker 1: this is stuff usually going to see for a you know,
Speaker 1: a Springsteen concert, God forbid. I like, I like just
Speaker 1: poking the Springsteen fans out there because there's so many
Speaker 1: of them and they get all they get all touch you.
Speaker 1: But he's the best live act ever. Yeah, what's spring
Speaker 1: born in the USA? We're really good. We're really gonna
Speaker 1: hang our hat on that being the great rock song
Speaker 1: of a generation. First of all, it's kind of anti American.
Speaker 1: I don't even get me started on that. So it
Speaker 1: is Springsteen, so he's wearing that little vest. Anyway, He's
Speaker 1: no cold Play producer Mark, he is no cold Play,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you that much. I'm not sure which one
Speaker 1: is more left wing, but they're both pretty left. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So so anyways, the trump Er eye last night, there
Speaker 1: were some interesting moments, and most of all he just
Speaker 1: launched into And this this is why I think there's
Speaker 1: such a sense of dread. There's a sense of dread
Speaker 1: among Democrats going into this this reelection phase here for Trump,
Speaker 1: because his record is fantastic. I mean I say that,
Speaker 1: and people will yell, and then they'll try to They'll
Speaker 1: point to like some vox dot com study of how
Speaker 1: wages in certain states haven't and you know, when adjusted
Speaker 1: for inflation, been quite as amazing. I mean, it's like
Speaker 1: they're trying so hard to find things to make the
Speaker 1: argument that the results of the Trump presidency are not
Speaker 1: the results alone are not sufficient to warrant his reelection.
Speaker 1: And I look at this and I just say, at
Speaker 1: what point is this just silly? At what point are
Speaker 1: they making arguments that are so foolish that even their
Speaker 1: own side will see through it? And so they'll just
Speaker 1: make arguments about how Trump is unfit and he's a
Speaker 1: mean tweeter, and he you know, orders his stakes well
Speaker 1: done and on other things that are stylistically problematic. And
Speaker 1: his tie is too long sometimes that I don't understand.
Speaker 1: I feel like that's one you don't you know what
Speaker 1: I mean? If a guy spends his life wearing a suit,
Speaker 1: what's with it? You know, the tie should not be
Speaker 1: It should not be you know, more than any it
Speaker 1: shouldn't be below the belt. And I can never get
Speaker 1: my tie link correct really every time. I don't wear
Speaker 1: a suit often anymore, but I can never get it right.
Speaker 1: I just realized I saw you at your wedding dressed
Speaker 1: up and it was I know, but I was like,
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, producer Mark, he's not wearing sports attire
Speaker 1: and or a sweatshirt, wearing any sports attire, a sweatshirt
Speaker 1: and or that's what I work in radio? What am
Speaker 1: I gonna come to work dressing up for? Just saying
Speaker 1: it's not exactly, this guy is not exactly. Not exactly.
Speaker 1: Try to impress the bosses here with his startorial effort
Speaker 1: on our boss. I know they never see this exactly.
Speaker 1: They could be here, you don't know, never that's probably true.
Speaker 1: So you know, we have we have the things to
Speaker 1: look at now for the Trump presidency that are good
Speaker 1: are things that are objectively good, right the the and
Speaker 1: today is a perfect example. The President is signing the
Speaker 1: us MCA US Mexico Canada Agreement, which they really should
Speaker 1: have come up with a cool name, you know. I mean, like,
Speaker 1: if Trump finishes this wall along the US Mexico border,
Speaker 1: or builds a lot of it, it it needs to be
Speaker 1: the Great Wall of Trump, you know, or it just
Speaker 1: if you need to have a good name for things.
Speaker 1: And this is a guy who understands branding. So I'm
Speaker 1: a little disappointed, even though NAFTA, you know, North American
Speaker 1: Free Trade Agreement is a kind of a mouthful, but
Speaker 1: it's got the acronym, and people in government love acronyms.
Speaker 1: I used to be able to speak as a little
Speaker 1: CIA cog in the machine. I used to be able
Speaker 1: to speak in almost entirely acronyms, which, let me tell you,
Speaker 1: does not help you get a date on a Friday night.
Speaker 1: But I used to be able to speak in acronyms fluently.
Speaker 1: And the problem with USMCA is the us USA is USMC. Yeah,
Speaker 1: US is not something you can say. And it's also anyway,
Speaker 1: I know it's not a big deal. Let's get back
Speaker 1: to the focus of what does matter. He's signing a
Speaker 1: historic trade agreement that is an update to NAFTA that
Speaker 1: is going to be in the interest of American workers
Speaker 1: and businesses. Was this was necessary? And I still remember
Speaker 1: when he was at the early stage of this, people
Speaker 1: were mocking him, saying he didn't understand trade. He's gonna
Speaker 1: make everything worse, he doesn't know what he's doing. Okay, well,
Speaker 1: now we have this is a bipartisan deal, folks, I
Speaker 1: meaning that the Democrats have gone along with this too.
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, this was this was the right thing.
Speaker 1: So even in the midst of an administration being under
Speaker 1: siege by unhinged libs, the president is still getting stuff done.
Speaker 1: And not only is he getting stepped done, he's doing
Speaker 1: he's accomplishing certain things that people, even some conservatives in
Speaker 1: the early in the early phase of this, were opposed to.
Speaker 1: This wasn't an obvious thing to do. Why I didn't
Speaker 1: Obama do it? Well, I didn't, you know, why didn't
Speaker 1: Bush to the The NAFTA trade deal is over twenty
Speaker 1: years old. So how could any even think that this
Speaker 1: shouldn't be updated for the times, And that's what has
Speaker 1: ended up happening here. Will Trump get a China trade
Speaker 1: deal in his second term? I think it's quite possible,
Speaker 1: but two new trade deals, so we're talking about the
Speaker 1: trade deals. Two Supreme Court justices. This is another area
Speaker 1: where if you voted for Trump, there were some people
Speaker 1: who just felt like, no matter what, if Trump gives
Speaker 1: us good judges, it's worth it to have him instead
Speaker 1: of Hillary. I mean that that was a broad stroke
Speaker 1: of their calculation, but that was a calculation people are
Speaker 1: making at the time. And Trump has been better on
Speaker 1: judge Trump has better on judges people. I'm not trying.
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to offend Saint Reagan's folks out there,
Speaker 1: but if you look at the record, Trump better on judges,
Speaker 1: at least Supreme Court judges, and also the number of
Speaker 1: judges getting appointed now they've changed Senate rules, so I
Speaker 1: understand that. But you know, results are results, scoreboard, baby,
Speaker 1: results are results, and Trump is getting judges through in
Speaker 1: a way that will affect future generations. He's getting Supreme Court,
Speaker 1: He's had two excellent picks to the Supreme Court. Now
Speaker 1: you get into he might have another Supreme Court pick
Speaker 1: if he manages to win reelection, which terrifies Democrats because,
Speaker 1: unlike other Republicans, unlike Mitt Romney, if he were in
Speaker 1: the position of president, which will never happen, Trump's not
Speaker 1: gonna say, yeah, I'm just going to concede to the
Speaker 1: other side, so they think I'm a good guy, and
Speaker 1: let's put some like basically some not so not so
Speaker 1: superlib lib in a Supreme Court seat, just so the
Speaker 1: Libs don't get all upset at me. You know, let's
Speaker 1: do them. Let's get Merrick Garland out again. You know. No,
Speaker 1: it's probably gonna be Amy Coney Barrett if that happens,
Speaker 1: although you know who knows, but that's a likely choice.
Speaker 1: He's not gonna run. He's not gonna put a dude
Speaker 1: in this spot. That much, I think is pretty clear,
Speaker 1: because Democrats will. That would oh, democrats will in the
Speaker 1: Kavanaugh playbook exactly as they ran it against Cavanaugh all
Speaker 1: over again. Any mail that they try to replace Ruth
Speaker 1: Bader Ginsburg with any Republican conservative, they would find someone
Speaker 1: who says, yeah, he you know that he I was
Speaker 1: I was a waitress, sets this place and he touched
Speaker 1: me inappropriately and you know, hashtag me too and whatever.
Speaker 1: I mean, they would, they would find some person to
Speaker 1: make some story. They would do it again. They do not.
Speaker 1: They have not repudiated that disgusting assault on Kavanaugh one bit.
Speaker 1: But Trump has been fabulous on judges. He's been excellent
Speaker 1: on trade. I mean what people keep saying, Oh, well,
Speaker 1: it's hurt the economy. I mean he's it's stock markets
Speaker 1: at all time highs, folks, unemployments at all time lows.
Speaker 1: How much? Yeah, I guess it could always be a
Speaker 1: little better, you know, the country could always be a
Speaker 1: little richer. But apparently the trade approach from Trump on China,
Speaker 1: dealing with the EU, with Canada, with Mexico pretty good.
Speaker 1: And when are we gonna If you had told me
Speaker 1: when Trump came into office, and this is what really
Speaker 1: the rally last night reminded me of. If you had
Speaker 1: told me when Trump came into office that this is
Speaker 1: where we would be as a country going into his
Speaker 1: four year I would think, Wow, he must have really,
Speaker 1: he must have flipped a lot of Democrats to his side.
Speaker 1: Now Trump is saying that that is happening. Producer Mark
Speaker 1: would you please play clip ten. The Americans of all
Speaker 1: political beliefs, are sick and tired of the radical, rage
Speaker 1: filled left socialists. I'd never saw anything what's going on
Speaker 1: in this country. What's going on in this country? The
Speaker 1: Democrat really, the Democrat Party is the socialist party, and
Speaker 1: may be worse, voters are making a mess exodus from
Speaker 1: that party and we are welcoming them to the Republican
Speaker 1: Party with wide open farms. The Democratic Party is the
Speaker 1: socialist party. He's right. Republicans need to say that you
Speaker 1: need to stop walking away from it's reality. It's true
Speaker 1: they can call them democratic socialists, but they're on board
Speaker 1: for policies that are socialists. Now that's that's really not
Speaker 1: an arguable I mean, they can argue it, but that's
Speaker 1: not a point that fair minded people have any questions on.
Speaker 1: And as to whether or not there is this mass
Speaker 1: exist of the Democratic Party, I think unfortunately that's probably
Speaker 1: not yet the case. It's not the case, although I
Speaker 1: appreciate the presence enthusiasm. Here's one of the great problems
Speaker 1: we have in politics. One of the issues with dealing
Speaker 1: when you're talking to a Democrat about anything political is
Speaker 1: that they have created a culture, a political culture whereby
Speaker 1: you are or in which you are linked to that
Speaker 1: party and to those beliefs, and that means you're a
Speaker 1: good person. If you're a Democrat, you're a good smart person.
Speaker 1: They've really brainwashed people into thinking this. I mean, as
Speaker 1: a Republican, if someone brings me evidence that I'm wrong
Speaker 1: on something, that a policy would be better off, I'm
Speaker 1: always open to it, and I will change my mind
Speaker 1: on things I am not locked in. And I know
Speaker 1: this is true of many, many, many Conservatives, Republicans, etc.
Speaker 1: That I know, well, we will take on evidence and
Speaker 1: we will change positions on policies, because ultimately it's about
Speaker 1: what's best, what's true, and what's right. Not I used
Speaker 1: to think this thing, and I'm a really smart, good person,
Speaker 1: so I can't change my mind on that thing, because
Speaker 1: then I won't be a really smart, good person anymore. Right,
Speaker 1: This is the problem with trying to convert Democrats. They
Speaker 1: internalize their politics so that it is a part of
Speaker 1: their own personal branding, their own sense of self. And
Speaker 1: that's why, unfortunately, I think as much as Trump, it
Speaker 1: is true, we'd love it and more than more Democrats
Speaker 1: the marry. I want more Democrats listening to the show.
Speaker 1: It's a big ask. I think a lot of them won't,
Speaker 1: but you know, some do. I want more to. But
Speaker 1: we all seed to break people away from the idea
Speaker 1: that their politics in terms of policy positions and the
Speaker 1: party they support, is intrinsic to who they are as
Speaker 1: human being, because it's not. Every policy should be viewed independently.
Speaker 1: Every issue, every party should be held to account and
Speaker 1: should be criticized, and we should always feel like we
Speaker 1: exist as as moral, ethical and intellectual beings separate from
Speaker 1: a political apparatus. We support that apparatus. We support those
Speaker 1: politicians only insofar as they are worth it on these issues.
Speaker 1: We hold them to account. We don't just say, oh
Speaker 1: I'm I'm up. You know, this is what I'm What
Speaker 1: I'm really talking about is to reject tribalism and politics.
Speaker 1: Oh I'm a part of this tribe. I stay in
Speaker 1: this tribe. I don't ever move. No, that's a bad thing.
Speaker 1: If Democrats had not been so effective in creating that
Speaker 1: tribal effect, I think we would see many, many more
Speaker 1: joining the ranks of Trump supporters. I hope it happens.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna hold my breath. You're in the Freedom Hud.
Speaker 1: This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. I know that
Speaker 1: you're not running, but do you ever feel the urge
Speaker 1: that like I could beat him if I were, or
Speaker 1: like I wish i'd go. Yeah, I certainly feel the
Speaker 1: urge because I feel like the twenty sixteen election was
Speaker 1: really an odd an odd time and an outcome. And
Speaker 1: the more we learn, the more that seems to be
Speaker 1: the case. But I'm going to support the people who
Speaker 1: are running now and do everything I can to help
Speaker 1: elect the Democratic nominee. Spoken like somebody who's leaving the
Speaker 1: door open and just waiting on the sidelines for someone
Speaker 1: in the race to stumble what happened. Hillary is still
Speaker 1: thinking about it, folks, She's still thinking about it. I
Speaker 1: mean she told us she's thinking about it, But I
Speaker 1: mean she's ready. She's ready. She is somebody who would
Speaker 1: hop in if they just all they have to do
Speaker 1: is clear pathway for all they have to do. He
Speaker 1: set it up so that you know, she can make
Speaker 1: the case. All the donors, everything, all they all just
Speaker 1: you gotta remember with Democrats, they've they've got they've got
Speaker 1: a lot of their states totally locked in. They could
Speaker 1: run anybody. You know, they could run any person, and
Speaker 1: the Democrats are guaranteed just as an anti Trump vote
Speaker 1: to get you know, to get real, to get real close.
Speaker 1: It's only about eight nine states, maybe six or seven
Speaker 1: that really matter, maybe eight or nine that are in
Speaker 1: play in a realistic sense, and it's how do you
Speaker 1: appeal to those voters that could go either way in
Speaker 1: those states. So everybody says, oh, I mean Hillary has
Speaker 1: universal name recognition, not necessarily positive, but universal name recognition.
Speaker 1: We gotta think, well, what would happen if she were
Speaker 1: to get in the race that I want to see,
Speaker 1: as I've been telling you, is Bernie versus Trump. That's
Speaker 1: what I want to see happen the race I think
Speaker 1: we will get. Actually, I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I wish, I wish I could make this prediction. Nobody
Speaker 1: really knows, right Producer, Mark, No one can really tell
Speaker 1: you to really sound like that. It sound like one
Speaker 1: of the one of the like the trees from the
Speaker 1: Lord of the Rings. And your impression of yourself is
Speaker 1: just terrible. That's not surprising. Thanks for listening to The

Speaker 1: the time in the busy schedule and that we are
Speaker 1: all producer. Markets get super excited about it too. So
Speaker 1: he's wondering when you're gonna come in here. But we're
Speaker 1: gonna have to We're gonna have to expand the doorway
Speaker 1: a bit so you can fit that frame all the
Speaker 1: way in here. My friend. What's it like, by the way,
Speaker 1: when you fly commercial, do they have to like put
Speaker 1: you in a special area? How do you do that?
Speaker 1: It's very I'll tell you this. I love being thought.
Speaker 1: Let's take a world. I kind of wish sometimes i'd
Speaker 1: stopped about six four or six five it is expensive.
Speaker 1: I have the special or my pants. And when it
Speaker 1: comes to flying, either I'm in an emergency exit row
Speaker 1: or I'm flying first class with the snobs, or i
Speaker 1: ain't flying. It's just a bottom line. I do not
Speaker 1: fit in a noble economy seat. I won't do it.
Speaker 1: I'll just stay home. So perfect transition to the snobs.
Speaker 1: You will recall mister Jesse Kelly, and you're somebody who
Speaker 1: lives down in Texas. I believe you are from Texas.
Speaker 1: If memory serves that a couple of folks on CNN
Speaker 1: thought that they would have a whole lot of fun
Speaker 1: at Trump supporters. The Trump bases expense by doing the
Speaker 1: whole you know, we don't lack maps, and we don't
Speaker 1: lack books, and haha, we can't spail. And you know,
Speaker 1: there was this hole making fun of Trump supporters thing,
Speaker 1: and look, it showed us what these lib journals really
Speaker 1: think of the Trump base. And they do think that,
Speaker 1: by the way, it's not surprised at all. But instead
Speaker 1: of just owning it, you know, instead of just accepting
Speaker 1: that that's what they did, we got a on apology
Speaker 1: apology from Don Lemon and a producer Mark, would you
Speaker 1: play the non apology apology for us so I can't
Speaker 1: even it's on here somewhere. And one final note that
Speaker 1: I have for you, because this is personally important to
Speaker 1: me to address this. Okay, anyone ask anyone who knows me,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you I don't believe in belittling people, belittling
Speaker 1: anyone for who they are, for what they believe, or
Speaker 1: where they're from. During an interview on Saturday night, one
Speaker 1: of my guests says something that made me laugh. And
Speaker 1: while in the moment, I found that joke humorous and
Speaker 1: I didn't catch everything that was said, just to make
Speaker 1: this perfectly clear, I was laughing at the joke and
Speaker 1: not at any group of people. No, it's very clear
Speaker 1: from the clip Jesse that he knew exactly what they
Speaker 1: were doing. He thought it was hilarious, and he was laughing.
Speaker 1: So it's like, why even do this? Why not just
Speaker 1: so yeah, I make fun of Trump supporters, move on,
Speaker 1: deal with it. I mean, at least that you could
Speaker 1: respect the straightforwardness of it. I would have respected it more.
Speaker 1: And I don't understand why people do this because he
Speaker 1: didn't help himself with that not apology. He did not
Speaker 1: help himself with anybody who he had previously hurt himself with.
Speaker 1: You're right, he should have just either said nothing, just
Speaker 1: moved on, because then hold would have forgot about it
Speaker 1: in the day, or we should have voted, stood up
Speaker 1: and said, yeah, I laugh as soon as I next
Speaker 1: chance to laugh at Trump supporters, I'm gonna laugh again.
Speaker 1: I hate you all. And he should have gone on
Speaker 1: with it. But this is what they do. And look,
Speaker 1: the honest, the most amazing thing to me, Buck is
Speaker 1: how stupid they are. And I don't mean that, you know,
Speaker 1: in just a general way. How can you be so
Speaker 1: dumb as to make fun of voters that you need
Speaker 1: on your side for the next election. And they've been
Speaker 1: doing this for three years. Politicians throughout history beyond America
Speaker 1: have understood you don't mock the very people you need
Speaker 1: to win over. And yet we've said three years of
Speaker 1: this of them skullboarding and shaming Trump voters people. That's
Speaker 1: not how that works. To need some of those people
Speaker 1: who voted for Donald Trump to vote for the Democrat
Speaker 1: next year, or you ain't the word of the White House. Also,
Speaker 1: I just would note that you know, you've never seen
Speaker 1: I've never seen an effort among conservatives in the media
Speaker 1: to do a to single out a group of you know,
Speaker 1: a regional group, which is clearly what was being done
Speaker 1: there of millions of voters in this country and mock
Speaker 1: them in that way and really do so in a a
Speaker 1: mean I mean, they're saying that they're a bunch of
Speaker 1: illiterate rubes. I mean, actually Wilson used the word rube.
Speaker 1: I believe you know that they're illiterate, they don't care
Speaker 1: about learning and all this stuff. Southern older white mostly males,
Speaker 1: I think we could say is what they're going for here.
Speaker 1: And I think the problem that they have at CNN
Speaker 1: and elsewhere is that they really do hold those people
Speaker 1: in contempt and put aside the stupidity of making fun
Speaker 1: on this way on TV. This just shows what we
Speaker 1: already knew, which is that they really do think this
Speaker 1: about those people. They do. And I know you saw
Speaker 1: the gop ad heck you mtiflated on your show work,
Speaker 1: but the Joplady did a mashup of that CNN interview
Speaker 1: with other Democrat politicians running for presidents saying similar things,
Speaker 1: and so the average rural voter, that's when it comes
Speaker 1: down to. They think these snooty liberal eliades look down
Speaker 1: on them, and they're constantly reminded that their assumptions are correct.
Speaker 1: Stop doing that, even if you really think that, Do
Speaker 1: what every other halfway intelligent politician has done throughout history
Speaker 1: and say it behind closed doors. That's what you're saying
Speaker 1: with buddy, when the doors are closed. That's what you're
Speaker 1: saying to your wife after a long day campaigning. You
Speaker 1: don't go on television and tell people how done they
Speaker 1: are to their faces and then tell them all, by
Speaker 1: the way, you should vote for my guy. That's not
Speaker 1: how it works. Did you see Bloomberg shaking the dog
Speaker 1: by the face? You know? The funniest thing to me
Speaker 1: about Bloomberg is it's painfully obvious that Bloomberg is ts
Speaker 1: this fabulously wealthy. Sure, and he's a very effective businessman.
Speaker 1: I've even hurting wasn't a bad mayor of New York,
Speaker 1: but he clearly is just a jerk. The guy is
Speaker 1: a world class prick. Even when he's trying to smile,
Speaker 1: he comes off like a world class prick. And so
Speaker 1: when he does these stupid things like trying to normalize
Speaker 1: and trying to look how thoroughly I am with the
Speaker 1: dog as I grabbed the top of its face and
Speaker 1: shake him back and forth. Abnormal people should never try
Speaker 1: to be normal people, because then they look even more abnormal.
Speaker 1: Trump the way he did it, right, That was the
Speaker 1: right way to do it, flying on your Trump jet
Speaker 1: and tell everyone how rich you are. Just own who
Speaker 1: you are. But also he does that, but also what
Speaker 1: he says things like, you know, I like Big Max,
Speaker 1: and I like ordering food from like Chick fil A
Speaker 1: and KFC. You know, it wasn't like when John Kerry
Speaker 1: would all of a sudden decide that he was going
Speaker 1: to be having photos of him hunting duck in the
Speaker 1: foot out of the fields, and like, you know, like
Speaker 1: the next weekend he's wearing like a pink wetsuit windsurfing
Speaker 1: off of the you know, the coast of Nantucket. It's like,
Speaker 1: these guys do this thing where they're so inauthentic. You
Speaker 1: can be a billionaire and actually be a kind of
Speaker 1: you know, lunch pails, sit down with the guys making
Speaker 1: the building kind of a guy as long as it
Speaker 1: comes across as legit. All of these ever, guys, I'm
Speaker 1: look blue collar Joe's another one. Blue collar Joe's a
Speaker 1: fancy rich guy pretending to be blue collar Joe is
Speaker 1: a total phony. Oh they are, you know, Buck, I'm
Speaker 1: sure you've probably seen it. If not, I'm sure your
Speaker 1: audience has so deep on HBO, it's already done now.
Speaker 1: It was the most honest representation with a comedy, one
Speaker 1: of the funniest shows ever, most honest representation of actual
Speaker 1: politics ever. And that reminds me of a scene where
Speaker 1: the politician is going to get ice cream. Her staff
Speaker 1: is making her and she asks why, and it's that
Speaker 1: we're normalizing. We're gonna go normalize. And she goes and
Speaker 1: eats ice cream and clearly hates it and has to
Speaker 1: pretend like she likes it. That is politics in real life,
Speaker 1: of these stooty rich people pretending to be normal when
Speaker 1: they're not normal. Just don't pretend, now, Elizabeth Warren, and
Speaker 1: we got Iowa a few days away. Well, actually, let
Speaker 1: first let's go let's hear what Biden's pitches to Iowa voters.
Speaker 1: Prucial mark play three. You want to replace his gaslines,
Speaker 1: and that's gonna work. We got to stop building and replacing.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna vote you in the general treat you're asking
Speaker 1: coming coming. You don't support me, said support you in
Speaker 1: the in the general. I'm wow. I guess you know,
Speaker 1: mister mister mcgook can get crotchety sometimes, you know. The
Speaker 1: best part buck is one of the guy says, well,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna support you the general if you treat me
Speaker 1: writer and Biden Flower response, well, I'm not. And on
Speaker 1: top of that, I'm sure people have seen the video
Speaker 1: of this. He has his hands all over the guy.
Speaker 1: He gives him that a little two firm of a
Speaker 1: pat on the chest, kind of knocking the guy backwards.
Speaker 1: He's grabbing his coat lapel's and he's just very kind
Speaker 1: of interidati to the guy. And all this is Joe
Speaker 1: Biden is a career backup quarterback. He was a thirty
Speaker 1: year senator from Delaware, which was all due respect to Delaware,
Speaker 1: which nobody's ever been to. It's not a major state.
Speaker 1: Then he rhymes Obama's coat deals for eight years as
Speaker 1: vice president, would you have no responsibility whatsoever? And that
Speaker 1: convince Bide that he's some kind of prime time player.
Speaker 1: And he gets out here and now he's so thor
Speaker 1: over his head and that's why he's snapping at reporters,
Speaker 1: he's poking his finger in people's chest. He called a
Speaker 1: supporter fat the other day on camera, Joe Biden did that, Kim,
Speaker 1: I've never seen such a disaster in my life. Listen, fat,
Speaker 1: I remember. I remember. That was quite a moment. And
Speaker 1: he's like, I didn't call him fat. I was. I
Speaker 1: was saying something else. I'm like, I love Democrats. They
Speaker 1: will say anything, won't they. Also Elizabeth Warren trying to
Speaker 1: trying to regain some of the momentum she had a
Speaker 1: few weeks ago. She says the poles are strong for
Speaker 1: a producer, Mark play eleven. Let's here Jesse's take on
Speaker 1: this one. Poles are showing right now, You're slipping, Bernie
Speaker 1: Sanders is rising. How do you explain what's going on
Speaker 1: out so you know, it's funny you would say that.
Speaker 1: I really don't focus on polls and haven't from the beginning.
Speaker 1: I thought where we were going to start with. Is
Speaker 1: I just got endorsed by the Des Moines Register, all right,
Speaker 1: And I've been endorsed by the storm late times. You
Speaker 1: know what I feel, and that's all I can tell you.
Speaker 1: When I'm out in Iowa, is I feel? How many
Speaker 1: people truly are off the sidelines and in this fight.
Speaker 1: People all across Iowa. And that's true whether we're in
Speaker 1: cities or rural Iowa understand that for decades now, we
Speaker 1: have had a government that works just great for giant corporations,
Speaker 1: works just great for billionaires, works just great for the
Speaker 1: whole lobbying class. It's just not working for them. And
Speaker 1: when you've got a government that works great for those
Speaker 1: at the top and not for everyone else, it's a corruption.
Speaker 1: And we have a chance in twenty twenty to turn
Speaker 1: that around. And that's why I think so many people
Speaker 1: are in this fight. People want to make this happen.
Speaker 1: That's how we're going to beat Donald Trump. I talk
Speaker 1: about what's gone on for decades. Donald Trump has taken
Speaker 1: correct corruption to new loves. We're going to draw the
Speaker 1: distinction between a corrupt president and someone who's willing to
Speaker 1: stand up to those corporations. That's how I'm going to
Speaker 1: beat Donald Trump in November. All right, Pretty sure, Mark,
Speaker 1: we're even code red. That was the longest solicit warred
Speaker 1: clip Jesse and I aren't sitting here suffering through that.
Speaker 1: The audience is suffering through that, no more than if
Speaker 1: we have a forty second limit on Elizabeth Warred from
Speaker 1: now on, I might even make it a thirty second limit.
Speaker 1: That was brutal. It was brutal being lectured by that
Speaker 1: cyborg librarian. So so Jesse. She completely skipped, Like she's
Speaker 1: asked about Pole, She's like, Oh, I don't even care
Speaker 1: about Pole. So then she goes to this whole other
Speaker 1: It's like she gives her entire campaign speech in response
Speaker 1: to this reporter's question. Maybe that's why she's slipping relative
Speaker 1: to Bernie, because she's weird. She used me a Warred
Speaker 1: even how we just go through binding the backup quarterback
Speaker 1: the entire Democrat field or backup quarterbacks. And the reason
Speaker 1: the race keeps fluctuoing him one guy being the lead
Speaker 1: and then he gets leapfrog, but then he gets leepfrog
Speaker 1: is they keep putting in the backup and the backup
Speaker 1: keeps throwing to me interceptions and then they're like, oh,
Speaker 1: this guy stuck. Now I remember why he was a backup,
Speaker 1: and then they turned to the next guy. I just
Speaker 1: heard Kloba shar overtook Elizabeth born in Iowa, pulling Cloba
Speaker 1: star of all people. Nobody knows who that person is
Speaker 1: that she sucks fibers at people. Elizabeth's arm is never
Speaker 1: going to be the nominee because she comes off about
Speaker 1: as authentic as a Tiuana Rolex. Uh, I guess that
Speaker 1: means I need to get my TiO on a Rolex
Speaker 1: are praised. There we go. So, so, Jesse, who do
Speaker 1: you think coming? Did you have a prediction for us?
Speaker 1: For Iowa? I think I say Bernie Sanders is going
Speaker 1: to take it, and I think the Democrats have nobody
Speaker 1: but themselves to play. I don't think he would have
Speaker 1: had a shot except they all piled on him. People
Speaker 1: expect politicians to attack other politicians, but when it looks coordinated,
Speaker 1: CNN does it, I know, Elizabeth Warren does it, then
Speaker 1: gets in on the act. Everybody pals on Bernie at
Speaker 1: the same time. Now it goes from politics to bullying
Speaker 1: in people's minds, and people do not like that. I've
Speaker 1: even seen conservatives defending that duttering, old old communist. That's
Speaker 1: when you know it really did not work. Coordinated attacks
Speaker 1: like that do not want If Bernie wins Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada,
Speaker 1: you see the Democrat nomintee in your mind, I mean,
Speaker 1: is that going to happen. No, the Democrat Party, for
Speaker 1: all their faults, I at least apply them on the
Speaker 1: fact they own the fact they are horrendously corrupt and
Speaker 1: bought and paid for. Bernie could win all fifty states
Speaker 1: and they would still find a way to slip a
Speaker 1: knife between his roots and give it to somebody else.
Speaker 1: The Democrat Party would never stand for Bernie Sanders being
Speaker 1: their nominee. Very interesting. You heard it from Jesse Kelly.
Speaker 1: Everybody check him out on Pluto TV channel to forty eight,
Speaker 1: the first The Jesse Kelly Show. Also you can find
Speaker 1: him on the iHeart radio app. Jesse, could I talk
Speaker 1: to you? My man will talk soon. You're good, brother,
Speaker 1: You're in the Hut. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast.
Speaker 1: So it is the Super Bowl this Sunday, and I
Speaker 1: wanted to get the because I'm gonna be out tomorrow
Speaker 1: mass and Jessiat is going to be in for me,
Speaker 1: so I'll get a chance to chat with you all
Speaker 1: and Producer Mark on Friday. But I wanted to get
Speaker 1: a little bit of a little bit of Producer Marks
Speaker 1: super Bowl dues and don'ts. For example, Mark, what is
Speaker 1: in fact the most essential food to have on Super
Speaker 1: Bowl Sunday. So my wife makes this thing that is
Speaker 1: the all my friends love it. We have to take
Speaker 1: it to every party. Buffalo chicken dip. It's so simple
Speaker 1: but delicious. It's just you take a road to three chicken,
Speaker 1: you shred it up, buffalo sauce, cream cheese, more cheese
Speaker 1: on the top, bake it. It's the best thing ever.
Speaker 1: That sounds amazing. It's so good. And it's, by the way,
Speaker 1: that is gluten free. I can tell, just like some
Speaker 1: cucumbers or something. Yeah, cucumbers look like a vegan. What
Speaker 1: do you think because I'm chips usually aren't gluten free.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, no corn cornbo Yeah, no, you're good. I'm thinking,
Speaker 1: like you come from my way? What is this we
Speaker 1: normally need? With tostitos? So, oh yeah, I don't some
Speaker 1: of those ships. I think doritos actually have gluten which
Speaker 1: makes me sad on the inside because derritos are deliciously
Speaker 1: terrible for they don't make gluten free ones yet. I'm
Speaker 1: I'm figuring it out, but so okay, So you get
Speaker 1: the chicken dip and then are you a big Super
Speaker 1: Bowl halftime guy or do you do you mingle with
Speaker 1: the family and friends. Yeah, it depends on who's performing.
Speaker 1: Shakira and jay Lo. I like jay Loo a big
Speaker 1: out of the retirement home for this. Well, she was
Speaker 1: just in that movie. Yeah, that movie, by the way,
Speaker 1: I did not Okay, I do not approve drugging people
Speaker 1: and robbing them is horrendous. They very easily, they very
Speaker 1: easily could have killed somebody. I watched that movie in
Speaker 1: a plane and I was a paul By. It was
Speaker 1: based on a true store. I understand that, but they're
Speaker 1: kind of like treat them. They kind of treat the
Speaker 1: protagonists in that or that, you know, the way the
Speaker 1: central characters like, you know, yeah, we were just kind
Speaker 1: of like pushing the envelope a little bit. You They
Speaker 1: easily could have killed somebody doing that. I just think
Speaker 1: it was very boring. It was repetitive. It's like, all right,
Speaker 1: we're doing this thing, and we do it again, and
Speaker 1: we do it like there was no like big moment. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think that there was kind of lionizing these So
Speaker 1: this is the movie Hustlers, by the way, I think
Speaker 1: it was lionizing these women who were who were fraudsters
Speaker 1: and thieves and putting the biggest thing for me is
Speaker 1: they're putting people's lives in chaparda. I mean, and there's
Speaker 1: no way around that. I mean, when you're drugging people
Speaker 1: with MDMA and ketamine. They're not chemists, they're not pharmacists.
Speaker 1: They don't know what they're doing. They're just trying this
Speaker 1: out on people. They don't know what they don't know
Speaker 1: what drugs are already in somebody's system, prescription drugs, perhaps
Speaker 1: drug interactions, super dangerous. What they were doing people are
Speaker 1: Oh they didn't kill anybody they could have. That's why
Speaker 1: drugging people is a very serious crime. So anyway, I know,
Speaker 1: I just uh, you know, jail. By the way, there's
Speaker 1: one of them, is one of the women that that's
Speaker 1: based on suing the movie really for not making her
Speaker 1: look more you know, ethical, not to the guy she
Speaker 1: ripped them off, she agrees, but ethical to her colleagues
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, partners in crime. Oh well, yes,
Speaker 1: you know. Honor among thieves essentially is what what is expected.
Speaker 1: I suppose she deserves because she's just a great person. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but were you Hesh Kira had a song in fifteen
Speaker 1: years that anyone knows. Why can't they get a band
Speaker 1: that anyone actually gets anyone gets excited about for this.
Speaker 1: I don't understand. I think ever since the justin Timberlake
Speaker 1: Janet Jackson, it's been down and yet what is the
Speaker 1: super Bowl halftime show that everybody remembers that one? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like it's usually a combination of like,
Speaker 1: you know, well known hip hop guy comes in at
Speaker 1: some point, and then Aerosmith has to come in at
Speaker 1: some point, and then there's kind of the like broad
Speaker 1: like biggest you know, denominator of viewership, listenership, you know,
Speaker 1: a band like you two or Cold Player or something.
Speaker 1: It's like, at least it's finally gotten back to pop
Speaker 1: stars because for a while it was like Tom Petty
Speaker 1: and like these older guys who you knew weren't going
Speaker 1: to do anything like show their nipple. You know, it
Speaker 1: isn't is that is that boomers Boomers think that the
Speaker 1: music of their generation those acts. Its not the music.
Speaker 1: The music is timeless, but that those acts I've never
Speaker 1: I've never heard of boomer who was willing to say
Speaker 1: that Mick Jagger just needs to hang it up, like
Speaker 1: it's enough is enough, Like it's too much. Have you
Speaker 1: seen those videos of him dancing it like what is
Speaker 1: the eighty see dances better than me, moves around than
Speaker 1: moves around better than I do too. But it doesn't
Speaker 1: mean it's not time for him to think about something else.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying that's right. I get salty with this.
Speaker 1: The music love performing can take it away from them.
Speaker 1: Thanks for listening to The bus Essen Show podcasts. Remember
Speaker 1: to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the iHeart Radio app, or
Speaker 1: wherever you get your podcasts. Haven't felt the pain that
Speaker 1: Sharper in a while forty seven years old, to lost
Speaker 1: two grandmothers, lost to sarge, lost my sister, and now
Speaker 1: I lost my little brother. It just makes me think
Speaker 1: that in life sometimes instead of holding them back a
Speaker 1: certain things, we should just do feel up here, we
Speaker 1: work a lot, and I think a lot of times
Speaker 1: we take stuff for rabbit, Like I don't talk to
Speaker 1: you guys as much as much as I mean truth.
Speaker 1: The fact that we're not going to be able to
Speaker 1: Joe got his Hall of Fame ceremony. We're not gonna
Speaker 1: be able to say I got five, you got four.
Speaker 1: The fact that we're not gonna be able to say,
Speaker 1: if we would stay together, we got ten. Both are
Speaker 1: the Bears sharing get back? Seaquille O'Neill. It's a gut
Speaker 1: punch just listening to it. Seaquille O'Neill talking about the
Speaker 1: loss that he feels after the tragic and highly untimely
Speaker 1: death of Kobe Bryant, his daughter Gianna, and seven other
Speaker 1: people in a helicopter crash that now they say they
Speaker 1: didn't have an early on. They didn't have an elevation
Speaker 1: detection warning equipment that is recommended, but I think not
Speaker 1: required on all helicopters. You know, you would think that
Speaker 1: in a situation like this. Kobe Bryant was someone who
Speaker 1: flew in helicopters constantly. He did this regularly. This was
Speaker 1: not a one off. You would expect that his pilot
Speaker 1: would have had all of the most advanced equipment to
Speaker 1: make sure that safety was the priority. And the NTSB
Speaker 1: says that it will be twelve to eighteen months before
Speaker 1: they leave and really know fully what happened in the crash.
Speaker 1: But Shack, I've never seen or heard Shack cry before.
Speaker 1: I don't know if any of you have in some
Speaker 1: other instance, maybe maybe cheers of joy after winning a
Speaker 1: national championship, but I've never heard him breakdown like that.
Speaker 1: He obviously feels a lot of pain from missing Kobe Bryant,
Speaker 1: and it just would never occur to the people that
Speaker 1: were very close with someone who is still so young,
Speaker 1: so vital, so much a part of the public consciousness,
Speaker 1: that this could happen. And it has been. It has
Speaker 1: been sad, and it has been touching to hear the
Speaker 1: stories that people share of their personal interaction with Kobe Bryant.
Speaker 1: And then there's this other part of this figure who
Speaker 1: was clearly one of the best athletes in the world
Speaker 1: in his sport, one of the most famous and most
Speaker 1: accomplished basketball players of all time, but also did things
Speaker 1: that I had never heard of before. I'd never heard
Speaker 1: of him doing these things before, and that I think
Speaker 1: that he should We should remember some of what Kobe
Speaker 1: Bryant did in his life. This was making the rounds
Speaker 1: on Facebook from Kristen O'Connor Hecked and it's a story
Speaker 1: that she told and I just wanted to share with
Speaker 1: you here. This is just right off of her Facebook page.
Speaker 1: So I have a story. When we lived in Phoenix,
Speaker 1: frequently my and Tom Tom Hecked Tom's paths would cross
Speaker 1: in our work a pediatric cardiologist I worked with asked
Speaker 1: me if Tom could get an autograph something from the
Speaker 1: Lakers for a five year old dying patient who was
Speaker 1: named Kobe. He was one of the reservations in Arizona,
Speaker 1: where basketball is life. I called Tom at the Phoenix
Speaker 1: Suns making the request, believing that there would be virtually
Speaker 1: no way this would happen. The Lakers were coming to
Speaker 1: play the Suns later in the week. A day later,
Speaker 1: Tom called me and said he'll do it. I was
Speaker 1: thrilled and thought I'd bring the ball or whatever it
Speaker 1: was to work that day. Tom said no, he read
Speaker 1: your story. He wants to come and meet the little boy.
Speaker 1: I was floored. So the next day, with the support
Speaker 1: of the Colangelo family, a limousine brought Kobe Bryant to
Speaker 1: my office under a cloak of secrecy, neither security nor
Speaker 1: pr present. I got in a little trouble for that,
Speaker 1: but it was so worth it. The three of us
Speaker 1: scrambled up a backstaircase to this little boy's room in
Speaker 1: the cardiac intensive care unit. For the better part of
Speaker 1: an hour, they played basketball, passing it back and forth,
Speaker 1: with little Kobe laughing, his sweet mama smiling and all
Speaker 1: so laughing. Several autographed items were left and many photos
Speaker 1: were taken. The machines keeping him alive were dinging, whirring,
Speaker 1: and alarming, and his doc was just grinning from ear
Speaker 1: to ear as Tom and I stood nervously watching this
Speaker 1: unbelievable scene unfold before us. As we got back in
Speaker 1: the limo, Kobe turned to me and said, Kristen, what
Speaker 1: can I do to help? Is it a financial thing,
Speaker 1: because I can take care of that. It wasn't. The
Speaker 1: little boy had a heart defect and was too ill
Speaker 1: for a transplant. I was floored. I was floored not
Speaker 1: only by his sincerity and offer of generosity, but the
Speaker 1: kindness and warmth he displayed. Little Kobe passed away the
Speaker 1: following week. About three weeks later, I got a letter
Speaker 1: from Little Kobe's mom describing the power in those moments.
Speaker 1: She said, those were the most joyful moments of his
Speaker 1: entire life. The photos were the only photos she had
Speaker 1: of him where he was smiling. According to Kobe's PR people,
Speaker 1: he did this everywhere, but the deal was no PR.
Speaker 1: From that day on, he has been my hero, and
Speaker 1: when people would tell me they didn't like him, I
Speaker 1: would say let me tell you a story about Kobe Bryant.
Speaker 1: May God shine eternal light upon your soul. Kobe. You're
Speaker 1: in the freedom Hud. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast,
Speaker 1: Team Bucking. It's time for roll call. All right, roll call,
Speaker 1: everybody's let's get to It's see what we got today.
Speaker 1: I remember, if you want to send in something for
Speaker 1: roll call, Facebook dot com, slash Buck Sexton, send us
Speaker 1: a message there or if you prefer email, Team Buck
Speaker 1: at I heart edia dot com. All right, let's see
Speaker 1: what we got here. Um, hi, Buck, a few things.
Speaker 1: It's not Porsche. It's Porsche. There is no awe at
Speaker 1: the end. I know you're not a car guy. I
Speaker 1: can forgive this, but you're hurting my car girl ears
Speaker 1: every time you mispronounced the name of such a lovely car.
Speaker 1: Is that true? It's just called a Porsche, because I mean,
Speaker 1: I believe that your name comes from German and it
Speaker 1: would be Porsche. In German, it wouldn't be the name
Speaker 1: is Porsche, like the name of the human beings. I
Speaker 1: think in America it's called we just called a Porsche.
Speaker 1: I remember there was an episode of Fresh Prince of
Speaker 1: bel Air where Will and Hillary are arguing Porsche or Porsche. Really,
Speaker 1: that's the only reason I know the difference. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's you know, it could be one of those things.
Speaker 1: It's a little bit like you know the name. I
Speaker 1: mean it Notre Dame is the French, but Notre Dame
Speaker 1: is the school. So maybe that's we call it a porschere,
Speaker 1: but I don't think they call it a Porsche in Germany,
Speaker 1: where it is made. Probably not. It's one of those
Speaker 1: American I don't know, Laurel. I gotta check this one.
Speaker 1: Adidas is Adidas overseas. Yeah, so maybe it's poor scheer
Speaker 1: but poor show overseas. I'll look into this. Another one
Speaker 1: people get wrong all the time. By the way, it's
Speaker 1: Heckler and Coke, not Heckler and Koch. A lot of
Speaker 1: people say that one for HK, the firearms manufacturer's trying
Speaker 1: to help people out over my head there for At first,
Speaker 1: I thought you were talking about an alcoholic beverage. I
Speaker 1: probably know more about guns than sports these days, Laurel. Oh, wait,
Speaker 1: we were just doing Laurelin, please don't watch The Bachelor.
Speaker 1: I'm always amazed how many card carrying feminists gets so
Speaker 1: excited over what I think is a twenty two year
Speaker 1: old guys dream of having a house full of hot
Speaker 1: girls falling all over those sums to be with him anyway. Wait, wait,
Speaker 1: this is why relationships hold on. I can't it's not working.
Speaker 1: My phone just froze up there. Sorry, but yes, I
Speaker 1: agree with you. I don't understand why any female who
Speaker 1: thinks of herself as a feminist, or just any female
Speaker 1: peer it likes watching all these women fight over one
Speaker 1: guy in this contrived environment. It's bizarre to be I
Speaker 1: do not understand. But you know I'm not a reality
Speaker 1: TV guy. What can I say? Tim, Greetings from the
Speaker 1: Upstate region of the people Socialist Republic of New York.
Speaker 1: I recently came across a post on Facebook promoting the
Speaker 1: Article five Convention of the States, which I'm in favor of.
Speaker 1: I'm concerned with the comments on that post. A lot
Speaker 1: of conservatives and patriots writing any political solutions off and
Speaker 1: hinding its civil disobedience in civil war being the only
Speaker 1: remaining solution. It appears at Frustration over ramping, corruption and
Speaker 1: lying by politicians has brought people to a point of
Speaker 1: hopelessness in any process. Your thoughts shields high, Tim, the
Speaker 1: Convention of the States is a very interesting idea. It
Speaker 1: will not happen in my lifetime. So that's my prediction.
Speaker 1: People get mad at me. I'm just making a prediction.
Speaker 1: Maybe I'll be wrong, Probably not, though mrco hey Buck
Speaker 1: completely agree with you about the titles, with possibly one exception.
Speaker 1: Retired military officers attending the rank of current role like
Speaker 1: Navy captain are and above are untitled to keep their
Speaker 1: titles in retirement. Those are currently the rules. Are you
Speaker 1: for this or are you more purist as to the
Speaker 1: title rules? Shields high MARKO. I'm fine with, you know,
Speaker 1: if if as you know, as an honorific for people
Speaker 1: that serve in the military, if they're going to keep
Speaker 1: titles based on whatever, you know, military tradition, is that
Speaker 1: I that I'm okay with making an obception exception too,
Speaker 1: although you know, when someone's either got to think, I mean,
Speaker 1: if someone's a civilian, are you still calling them general? Really?
Speaker 1: I don't know, I'm just putting that out, you know.
Speaker 1: But in turner, the one that really gets me is
Speaker 1: ambassador speak or you know, any anything that you're you're
Speaker 1: like an appointee or you're you one elected office and
Speaker 1: you're you know, you're not. It's not President Obama. You
Speaker 1: can say former President Obama or former President Bush. It's
Speaker 1: not President Bush. He's not president anymore. I think we
Speaker 1: need to you agree with me on this one. I'm
Speaker 1: not going to ask. Actually I was gonna say, what
Speaker 1: about president? Yeah? No, say you can say former president.
Speaker 1: That's that's a but that's not a title anybody wants
Speaker 1: to say, right, Ambassador in president is different? Well, of
Speaker 1: course presidents sure, a considerably bigger deal. You were always
Speaker 1: a US president, right, you could? You can write a
Speaker 1: check and become an ambassador. Basically, that's the way it works.
Speaker 1: You write a check to a president's campaign, and you
Speaker 1: get to be the ambassador to you know, Antigua or something,
Speaker 1: or the Bahamas or somewhere, you know, or Germany. I
Speaker 1: think he can. It depends. I'll send the ambassador to
Speaker 1: the Bamas. That'd be nice. I'm cool with that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that'd be nice. Yeah, I could. I could handle that
Speaker 1: for sure. David, Hey, Buck, I love the Bachelor talk. Gosh,
Speaker 1: I should have brought that up. You started introducing yourself
Speaker 1: to women as follows. Hi, my name's Buck. Actually that
Speaker 1: isn't my first name. My last name has to do
Speaker 1: with taking care of churches. I know it sounds complicated,
Speaker 1: so my buddies calling me Captain Kurmudgeon. Anyway, enough about yourself,
Speaker 1: tell me about yourself. The ladies would love that. Um okay,
Speaker 1: thanks David. I thought I was gonna get a little
Speaker 1: bit tougher stuff there for watching The Bachelor, but I cannot.
Speaker 1: I cannot hide from the team my viewing habits. I
Speaker 1: can't hide. Jeff, Hey Buck, this is Trucker Jeff from California.
Speaker 1: I absolutely love your show. I think you should call
Speaker 1: producer Mark segment either the penalty box or the crease.
Speaker 1: Since he likes hockey so much. I think we've got it.
Speaker 1: I like the penalty box for you. Do you know
Speaker 1: what the crease is? No, no idea? Oh my god?
Speaker 1: Where the goalie stands? Really the blue paint. It's called
Speaker 1: the crease. Which one of those? Do you like better?
Speaker 1: The penalty box with the crease? I know you're gonna
Speaker 1: go with penalty box. I can do either. Do you
Speaker 1: like the crease? Yeah, my vibe the penalty box. That's there.
Speaker 1: We go. Mark is in the penalty box. We might
Speaker 1: even have to set up a little I like that.
Speaker 1: We'll put a line right here. Yeah, in my little
Speaker 1: of course, I cannot. I cannot cross because then I'm
Speaker 1: in the penalty. Well, there we go. Love the show,
Speaker 1: both of you guys. Keep on fighting the good fight, Jeff,
Speaker 1: great suggestion, man, We love it. Thank you so much.
Speaker 1: Appreciate you sending in to see. We love taking people's
Speaker 1: ideas here. Vincent writes, a population of Vermont is only
Speaker 1: six hundred and twenty three thousand. Sorry, I said a
Speaker 1: couple million. I was off. They have two us centators
Speaker 1: but only one House of Representatives member because they have
Speaker 1: a minimum population. The city of Burlington, where Bernie Sanders
Speaker 1: was mayor, has a population of only fifty two thousand.
Speaker 1: Most of the local residents who haven't moved there from
Speaker 1: New York City are poor people in need of financial aid.
Speaker 1: All right, The comment about the poor people applies to
Speaker 1: the entire state, not necessarily a large city large for
Speaker 1: Vermont of Burlington. Yeah, thank you, Vincent. Sorry, I got
Speaker 1: the population right. I knew it was a small population.
Speaker 1: I realize it was that small. Six hundred twenty three thousand.
Speaker 1: That's not even a Really, the whole population of the
Speaker 1: state is not even the size of a pretty big
Speaker 1: city in a good sized city, I mean, how many
Speaker 1: how many US cities have over a half million people.
Speaker 1: There's got to be at least what I mean, off
Speaker 1: the top of my head, fifteen or twenty. You actually,
Speaker 1: like Tribeca alone in Manhattan has half a million. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like you think La Houston, New York, Miami, Shica, Go, Dallas,
Speaker 1: Phoenix probably has got upwards of seven figures now right.
Speaker 1: Seattle's got to have over figures. I said Houston. Houston's
Speaker 1: one of the top five. I think. Now Austin, I
Speaker 1: don't know if Auston. Austin might be like a couple
Speaker 1: of hundred man maybe two hundred fifty thousand, maybe five
Speaker 1: hundred thousand, something like that. Um, but you know there's
Speaker 1: a lot of US cities that Baltimore has got over
Speaker 1: half a million people. San Francisco has got over San Diego.
Speaker 1: I mean you got at least in California here. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So you've got a lot of a lot of cities
Speaker 1: that have, Um, you know, a state I have have
Speaker 1: a greater population the state of Vermont. That's a good point.
Speaker 1: Brett buck Buck buck buck Buck. You want a five
Speaker 1: minute rant on Monday and not not calling people their
Speaker 1: previous titles than Tuesday. You open the show and I
Speaker 1: quote Ambassador Bolton. We expect more from you. We will
Speaker 1: afford you more flexibility after the election. I'll keep up
Speaker 1: the great work. Brett. Yeah, man, I'm sorry. I just
Speaker 1: that's what everyone refers to as Ambassador Bolton. I agree
Speaker 1: with you. I don't like it. I don't like it.
Speaker 1: That's why I call him a Walrus Bolton today or
Speaker 1: Mustache Bolton. That's a title he gets to keep until
Speaker 1: he shaves that stash. Then he loses the title because
Speaker 1: we are civilized people here and there are rules that
Speaker 1: we follow. So you shaved them stash, You're no longer
Speaker 1: Mustache Bolton. This is the way, Alice, hey Buck, I
Speaker 1: was thrilled to hear about your recipe for the best
Speaker 1: steak ever on your show the other day. That is
Speaker 1: exactly the way my husband makes it. He except he
Speaker 1: adds a knob of unsalted butter and a large sprig
Speaker 1: of rosemary to finish. It's steak. It's steakhouse perfect every time.
Speaker 1: It's not even the same culinary category of steak on
Speaker 1: the grill. Right now, you need to learn to make
Speaker 1: palm anna to complete your dinner. I don't I assume
Speaker 1: that's some kind of a French fry. But how do you?
Speaker 1: How do you what is palm palm? I don't know
Speaker 1: what that is. It's some kind of potato. I know palm,
Speaker 1: like palm freaked is French fries may Bian, But I
Speaker 1: don't know what palm anna is. So we'd have to
Speaker 1: figure that out. When I repeat something like that a
Speaker 1: few times is usually producer Mark google it. But he's
Speaker 1: not googling right now because he's busy trying to make
Speaker 1: the show on the air, like not not cut off,
Speaker 1: which is important too. Yeah. The reverse here, by the way,
Speaker 1: looks like it's sliced layered potatoes. Oh okay, I mean
Speaker 1: I love pot Potatoes are a weakness for me though
Speaker 1: any like well pros mashed, fried, scalloped, baked, every I
Speaker 1: just love me. I'm irish. I love potatoes, and unfortunately
Speaker 1: it's not good for them. We gotta we gotta do
Speaker 1: a way in and like you know, notch April, we
Speaker 1: a producer. Mark and I are getting in fighting shape.
Speaker 1: It's happening or both going to be in the penalty box.
Speaker 1: So there we go. How's it coming along though, Sunday
Speaker 1: coming up right now? I have a terrible but chicken
Speaker 1: chicken wings on Super Bowl Sunday. Don't count? Oh yeah count? No,
Speaker 1: no, no no, that's think we're doing pizza. You get a pass.
