Speaker 1: Mr garbutsch Off teared down this wall. Either you're with
Speaker 1: us or you were with the terrorists. If you get
Speaker 1: healthcare all it, then you can keep your plan. If
Speaker 1: you are satisfied, women is not. When President take it
Speaker 1: to a bank, together, we will make America great again.
Speaker 1: It's what you've been waiting for all day. The Buck
Speaker 1: Sexton Show joined the conversation called Buck toll free at
Speaker 1: eight four four nine hundred Buck. That's eight four four
Speaker 1: nine hundred to eight to five the Future of talk radio.
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton, welcome for the Buck Sex and Show. Everybody.
Speaker 1: Great to have you with me as always, thank you
Speaker 1: for the time, Thanks for for hanging out. You want
Speaker 1: to call an eight four four nine to eight to
Speaker 1: five eight four four Buck, I love the chat with you.
Speaker 1: We've got a bunch of topics today, including the latest
Speaker 1: on Trump. Trump's tariff talk, possibility of a trade war.
Speaker 1: He had a meeting today with the Swedish Prime Minister.
Speaker 1: Some interesting things were said there. We'll get into that shortly. Also,
Speaker 1: some follow up to the conversation yesterday about Sam Nunberg,
Speaker 1: former Trump advisor. We have some additional information to work
Speaker 1: with today. Things took a bit of a turn, especially
Speaker 1: later on in the evening when more information came out
Speaker 1: about just what was going on. It is unusual, to
Speaker 1: say the least, to have a former former political advisor
Speaker 1: become for a period of three or four hours, the
Speaker 1: biggest single news story in the country. But that is
Speaker 1: what happened last night. And we'll talk about why and
Speaker 1: what was really going on there, and I'll probably tie
Speaker 1: it into some of what we've found out about General
Speaker 1: Flynn in the last twenty four hours too. How how
Speaker 1: do I connect those things? Well, I will tell you.
Speaker 1: You just have to stay with me. And then also
Speaker 1: some additional thoughts on guns and gun control that come
Speaker 1: courtesy of an article written by a woman who says
Speaker 1: that she believes that being a law biding gun owner
Speaker 1: is a thing that a parent would do to protect
Speaker 1: one's children in certain circumstances. So we will talk about
Speaker 1: and and in the in response she got to that,
Speaker 1: as you can imagine, is the anti gun crowd is psychotic.
Speaker 1: They're actually crazy, not all of them, but a lot
Speaker 1: of them. They they are they are vicious, they are insane.
Speaker 1: The things that are written and I see them on Twitter,
Speaker 1: The things that are written on a daily basis to
Speaker 1: my former colleague now n r A spokesperson Dana Lash
Speaker 1: on Twitter and I'm sure of vir email and elsewhere
Speaker 1: are disgraceful. Uh, they are so heinous. I have to
Speaker 1: wonder what kind of person writes these things to anyone,
Speaker 1: never mind someone who's done nothing wrong and is actually
Speaker 1: uh a smart person who's nice and trying to engage
Speaker 1: honestly in the discussion. Anyway, it's the anti gun crowd
Speaker 1: is just completely unhinged. But first I want to talk
Speaker 1: a bit about what's going on with h going on
Speaker 1: with Trump and the latest on the policy front. Here
Speaker 1: some interesting stuff today in in his meeting with the
Speaker 1: Prime minister, because he's getting a lot of pushback. I mean,
Speaker 1: the GOP establishment is more united on trade tariff's bad
Speaker 1: then they are on you know, almost anything else I
Speaker 1: can think of other than tax cuts, right, I mean,
Speaker 1: the GOP is really opposed to the whole notion of
Speaker 1: trade tariffs. And Trump showed some some chops today on
Speaker 1: the issue. He got into it a little more during
Speaker 1: this conference with the Prime minister. I thought it was
Speaker 1: Prime Minister of Sweden, not that we have a prime minister, hello,
Speaker 1: but the Prime Minister of Sweden. You know that's that's
Speaker 1: close to the Swedish chef, right, we could we should
Speaker 1: probably actually have the real Swedish chef as a drop
Speaker 1: here so people can hear it. Sounds like, but the
Speaker 1: Prime Minister in the president we're talking about, well, they're
Speaker 1: responding to questions from the press about things like trade.
Speaker 1: And wait a second, is this just breaking news right now?
Speaker 1: I'm on Eric, Did Gary Khne just resigned? Did that
Speaker 1: just happen right now on air? Am I crazy? That
Speaker 1: just happened? Folks? I got breaking news for you. As
Speaker 1: we're hearing the Gary Cone formally of Goldman Sachs fame,
Speaker 1: the Trump economic advisor Gary Cone is out yet another
Speaker 1: departure from the White House and oh me, oh my,
Speaker 1: I ah, this is this is tying right into what
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, which is that the GOP establishment is
Speaker 1: completely dead set against Terris. I'm not saying I think
Speaker 1: derriffs are a good idea. I'm just trying to explore
Speaker 1: and learn more about this because Trump certainly seems convinced.
Speaker 1: And we have had many issues where Trump has been
Speaker 1: fiercely opposed by the by not just the political and
Speaker 1: media class, in general, but by the GOP in particular.
Speaker 1: And the more I looked into and the more information
Speaker 1: that came out, I thought, well, he's actually right. Some
Speaker 1: of the discussions that we can have now about immigration
Speaker 1: are only possible because of Trump. They're only possible because
Speaker 1: of his campaign and then his presidency. And I'm not
Speaker 1: saying that every word he utters on immigration is right
Speaker 1: in line with what I believe. I think sometimes he
Speaker 1: veers a little bit. I disagree with them on some
Speaker 1: things here and there. But the very notion that we
Speaker 1: could even discuss limiting legal immigration from what it currently is,
Speaker 1: or changing the legal immigration process from what it currently is,
Speaker 1: that's not even a talk we were having until Trump
Speaker 1: came along. And so on tariffs, I'm just giving him
Speaker 1: the benefit of the doubt and trying to see this
Speaker 1: from as many angles as possible. I understand the econ
Speaker 1: one on one approach this. I know that people will
Speaker 1: say that we can only finance we can only finance
Speaker 1: our government spending if we have this trade deficit. Were
Speaker 1: it's better for us if we have the ability to
Speaker 1: give other countries US dollars a promise to pay them
Speaker 1: back at some point if they you know, so that
Speaker 1: they can give us their actual production and their labor.
Speaker 1: This is I get to the become one on one
Speaker 1: aspects of it. But I'm trying to take it a
Speaker 1: few steps beyond and Cone leaving, which just happened or
Speaker 1: is happening. They're saying he's set to signs. So this
Speaker 1: is this has come out. Um, this is another indicator
Speaker 1: that there are some folks that just won't go along
Speaker 1: with the Trump agenda. I think I would be surprised
Speaker 1: if it turns out that Cone is uh. Cone is
Speaker 1: somebody who all of a sudden is resigning and has
Speaker 1: nothing to do with the terriff issue. We have this
Speaker 1: breaking news on him and and I wanted to share
Speaker 1: that with you. But here's what Trump said just just
Speaker 1: a couple of hours ago about steel, specifically in steel terriffs.
Speaker 1: So it was very interesting, it was worth us spending
Speaker 1: a moment on. And it's been a very very unfair
Speaker 1: trade situation. I'm here to protect him. One of the
Speaker 1: reasons I was elected as I'm protecting our workers, I'm
Speaker 1: protecting our companies, and I'm not going to let that happen.
Speaker 1: So we're doing tariffs on steel. We cannot lose our
Speaker 1: steel industry. It's a fraction of what it once was,
Speaker 1: and we can't lose our aluminum and also a fraction
Speaker 1: of what it once was. Saying that there's a trends.
Speaker 1: We didn't have the sound for this, but that there's
Speaker 1: a trans shipment issue as well, because one of the
Speaker 1: big criticisms that we've that he's gotten is well, we
Speaker 1: only get a very small percentage of our steel from China.
Speaker 1: And Trump was saying today and I honestly it was
Speaker 1: the first time I had heard it, and if it's
Speaker 1: not true, I want to hear I want to hear that,
Speaker 1: because if it is true, it definitely changes some dynamics
Speaker 1: of the discussion. That what happens is China creates and
Speaker 1: the Swedish Prime ministers agree with them, trying to create
Speaker 1: something of the world steel or selling the world steel,
Speaker 1: and you know, huge huge quantities of this out on
Speaker 1: the market, and some countries will actually be a middleman
Speaker 1: for Chinese steel into the United States. That was the
Speaker 1: claim that Trump was making today, and I hadn't heard
Speaker 1: that from anybody else. I've I've read a lot of
Speaker 1: analysis to the Wall Street Journal and elsewhere on steel
Speaker 1: and trade tariffs and all this stuff on tariffs. I
Speaker 1: think trade tariffs is probably repetitive, um, but I hadn't
Speaker 1: heard that. So Trump seems to have some understanding of
Speaker 1: this beyond what his critics are willing to concede. And
Speaker 1: I think it's worth hearing the man out of it
Speaker 1: a bit more. But CON's departure is only going to
Speaker 1: feed the narrative storyline that this is a White House
Speaker 1: in in disarray and in chaos. I thought this was
Speaker 1: this was actually pretty funny. You know what was it? Yesterday?
Speaker 1: I was on Kennedy Show on Fox Business addressing this
Speaker 1: issue of this. This is a recurrent storyline. We'll hear
Speaker 1: it again and again. Oh my gosh, the White House.
Speaker 1: It's crazy. What's going on this White House? People are
Speaker 1: running around. It's just like a chaos factory. Uh. Here
Speaker 1: is Well, here's my version of that. The White House
Speaker 1: is not in disarray because the White House has always
Speaker 1: been a non traditional bureaucracy. No chaos is oxygen. The
Speaker 1: Trump is the commander chief who likes to be on
Speaker 1: a ship in the storm. I think that's a good
Speaker 1: way of putting Trump today spoke specifically about this. The
Speaker 1: White House and chaos meme and the notion of staffing,
Speaker 1: turmoil and trouble. And here's what he said. The White
Speaker 1: House has tremendous energy, that has tremendous spirit. It is
Speaker 1: a great place to be working. Many many people want
Speaker 1: every single job. You know, I read where oh g
Speaker 1: maybe people don't want to work for Trump, And believe me,
Speaker 1: everybody wants to work in the White House. They all
Speaker 1: want a piece of that Oval Office, they want a
Speaker 1: piece of the West Wing. And not only in terms
Speaker 1: of it looks greater there resume. It's just a great
Speaker 1: place to work. It's got tremendous energy. It's tough. I
Speaker 1: like conflict. I like having two people with different points
Speaker 1: of view, and I certainly have that and then I
Speaker 1: make a decision. But I like watching it. I like
Speaker 1: seeing it, and I think it's the best way to go.
Speaker 1: I like different points of view. Trump is like, embrace
Speaker 1: the storm, my friends. Embrace that chaos that people are
Speaker 1: talking about. It's not really chaos. It's change. Change requires adaptation,
Speaker 1: change requires ingenuity. But this is a a fluid situation
Speaker 1: in the White House. It is unfolding day in and
Speaker 1: day out. And he's definitely right about it's not hard
Speaker 1: to fill these jobs. They've got a lot more people
Speaker 1: that want them than can have them, and I just
Speaker 1: think the storyline there is nonsense. You know, Gary Cone,
Speaker 1: trust me, there are plenty of guys with a lot
Speaker 1: of Wall Street or finance or I'd like to see
Speaker 1: somebody with a more a business background that's not just
Speaker 1: in the financial services sector, that's a senior advisor to
Speaker 1: Trump on economic issues. I think if we're gonna talk
Speaker 1: about manufacturing and res and rebuilding our manufacturing base, how
Speaker 1: in whatever way we can in this country, be nice
Speaker 1: to have somebody who is in the make stuff business
Speaker 1: instead of the take stuff business, that is an advisor
Speaker 1: to Trump. I think that would be helpful, But that's
Speaker 1: just my inclination on that. I also want to talk
Speaker 1: to you about something that came up today, um that
Speaker 1: you're not going to hear anywhere else. Really, I'd be
Speaker 1: willing to bet no one else is going to tell
Speaker 1: you about this on radio today or tonight. You're not
Speaker 1: going to see news stories on it. But there was
Speaker 1: something that was slipped into the Swedish Prime Minister's speech
Speaker 1: and the very very brief overview is this. You know, Trump,
Speaker 1: I mentioned you how we can have discussions about immigration
Speaker 1: that we could never have before. Sweden is a place
Speaker 1: that is also having discussions about immigration that it couldn't before,
Speaker 1: although there's a lot of pushback against it. The media
Speaker 1: doesn't seem all that interested in telling the stories about
Speaker 1: what's happening in Sweden right now. But you know that
Speaker 1: there are there is now a big spike in grenade
Speaker 1: attacks in Sweden. Do you know that the spike in
Speaker 1: grenade attacks is tied directly to the surge in the
Speaker 1: immigrant population of Sweden and the Swedish authorities are freaked
Speaker 1: out and do not know what to do about this,
Speaker 1: and it is only getting worse. Is this uh a
Speaker 1: canary in the coal mine for Western countries that think
Speaker 1: that they should leave immigration wide open to third world
Speaker 1: developing countries. We will discuss that and more after the break.
Speaker 1: We saw just last week the number of people filing
Speaker 1: for unemployment, rate for unemployment going to the lowest level
Speaker 1: in forty nine years. People are getting work, companies are
Speaker 1: hiring more workers. This is very very important. Also, US
Speaker 1: manufacturing is expa ending at the fastest rate in nearly
Speaker 1: fourteen years. These are all very encouraging numbers, and it's
Speaker 1: undeniable that real people are being helped by the personal
Speaker 1: tax cuts in the Tax Cutting Jobs Act. The middle
Speaker 1: class tax parents are getting a tax cut that's into
Speaker 1: their advantage. The Republicans have been very effective and it's worked.
Speaker 1: When the tax cut bill was passed fable ratings. Now
Speaker 1: it's over fifty, so it's working, there's no question about it.
Speaker 1: You're not sure eighteen election is going to be as
Speaker 1: easy as some progressives. Thank you, folks of what the
Speaker 1: reality is and also what's going to happen going forward.
Speaker 1: Reality is that the tax cut has helped Americans put
Speaker 1: more money in their paychecks, more money in the bank account,
Speaker 1: and it was a good idea and they feel it
Speaker 1: now and they see it. And the fact that the
Speaker 1: numbers are going up as the tax cut kicks in
Speaker 1: shows us that and progressives who have put so much
Speaker 1: on this Russia collusion narrative, which at this point, you know,
Speaker 1: if you're not tired of that narrative, you're not paying attention,
Speaker 1: right I. I don't care who you are on the
Speaker 1: political spectrum if you're not just sick of hearing the
Speaker 1: breathless updates from CNN. Oh my gosh, Mueller is going
Speaker 1: to be doing a xerox of a form any minute now,
Speaker 1: Sources say, I mean, it's just so boring, uh and
Speaker 1: and overblown the whole thing, and it's not going to
Speaker 1: win them the election. So there's gonna be an increasing
Speaker 1: desperation if things are as they are right now as
Speaker 1: the midterms get closer, because it's one thing to to act,
Speaker 1: You gotta you gotta remember this. It's one thing to
Speaker 1: act like the victory of Trump over Hillary Clinton was
Speaker 1: some crazy fluke and you know, the Russians and Comy
Speaker 1: and there's all these excuses and all this stuff. But
Speaker 1: what if the Republicans actually gained seats in the mid terms,
Speaker 1: which I don't think is as improbable as some people
Speaker 1: are pretend thing it is right now, what have I
Speaker 1: actually do well in the midterms? What does that say?
Speaker 1: What's the excuse gonna be there? You know, Trump's governance,
Speaker 1: uh in in is the first part of his first
Speaker 1: term has been effective, even though he was this terrible, fascist,
Speaker 1: warmongering Russian Manchurian candidate. It's all that stuff, you know,
Speaker 1: think about this. The storylines that they have will not
Speaker 1: be They will not be sailable to the public. You
Speaker 1: can't sell this stuff. You can't convince people that all
Speaker 1: this time on Russia was worthwhile. You just simply cannot.
Speaker 1: And so I think you should remember that. One. Let's
Speaker 1: go to quick call here Andy in Savannah, which I've
Speaker 1: got on my mind because I'm gonna be in Savannah
Speaker 1: in a few days, assuming the weather cooperates. What's up, Andy,
Speaker 1: The weather will cooperate, and regardless, it's got to be
Speaker 1: better than New York, right, that's probably true, Yeah, this
Speaker 1: time of year. So yeah, looking forward to having you here. Buck.
Speaker 1: So Hey, So I've been I'm a podcast listener almost exclusively,
Speaker 1: so I usually tend to listen a few days behind.
Speaker 1: So and but the the whole thing with the shooting
Speaker 1: down in Florida. Now, I recently moved up here to
Speaker 1: Savannah from from Florida, so it's kind of home for me.
Speaker 1: But you know, there's another solution than just you know,
Speaker 1: let's let's take care of all you know, let's get
Speaker 1: rid of all the guns. Although I find that one
Speaker 1: hilarious enough. Um, you know, how does somebody get on
Speaker 1: the campus, get into the buildings? What was he doing there? How?
Speaker 1: How did he he shouldn't have been able to get in.
Speaker 1: And is my point, the school building kids or kids
Speaker 1: are coming and going for the building all the time, right,
Speaker 1: All you have to do is say, hey, hold that
Speaker 1: door for me. If you've got a dufel bag full
Speaker 1: of guns, you're gonna be able to get in school. Oh.
Speaker 1: I agree. What I'm saying is it's too easy. They
Speaker 1: need to They need to put some sort of barrier
Speaker 1: around the school. Dare I say a wall or offense,
Speaker 1: you know, and then you can can troll you know,
Speaker 1: you can control the access better because now all you
Speaker 1: gotta do is look at people who are coming through
Speaker 1: the gates or the doors or whatever. Yeah, and did
Speaker 1: you realize how and let's just get it. Did you
Speaker 1: realize how expensive it would be to put controlled access
Speaker 1: gates and walls up around every school in the country.
Speaker 1: A fense, a chain link fence, A chain link fence.
Speaker 1: I mean, EI think that's going to stop the I'm
Speaker 1: confused as to how we They probably have fences up
Speaker 1: in a lot of schools. I mean, I'm confused. Why
Speaker 1: do you think this is a security measure that would
Speaker 1: stop somebody from getting access who looks like a student
Speaker 1: under the school grounds. It would make it more difficult.
Speaker 1: And and the other thing is is is that you know,
Speaker 1: perhaps looking like you know, they should do more than
Speaker 1: just saying, well, he looks like a student. I like you, Andy,
Speaker 1: but I'm not I'm not sold on this one. We'll
Speaker 1: have to talk about it when I'm in Saventa. I'll
Speaker 1: see you then and team I'll be right back. He's
Speaker 1: holding the line for America, Buck Sex, it is back.
Speaker 1: We have our share of domestic challenges, no doubt about that.
Speaker 1: We received one hundred and sixty three thousand refugees seeking
Speaker 1: refuge We changed the legislation so now we have decreased
Speaker 1: the number of refugees entering Sweden. And we're also putting
Speaker 1: pressure on the other European Union countries to take their
Speaker 1: share of the responsibility. We also have problems with crime,
Speaker 1: organized crime in Sweden, shootings, but it's not like you
Speaker 1: have these no ghost zones. We we have. We have
Speaker 1: dealt with it. I'm dealing with it every day. That's
Speaker 1: the Swedish Prime minister who met with Trump earlier today
Speaker 1: and how to press conference. Very interesting things were said
Speaker 1: in not answering in the in the press conference. Overall,
Speaker 1: he says, you know, we don't have no go zones
Speaker 1: all right, may or may not be the case. I've
Speaker 1: talked to people who have been in what they call
Speaker 1: no goes. It really just all that matters is how
Speaker 1: you define a no go zone. It's not that there
Speaker 1: are barricades and checkpoints preventing people from going into them,
Speaker 1: but it's if you go in, it's dangerous and you
Speaker 1: probably shouldn't go in. Hence no go zone dangerous for
Speaker 1: certain people. But you don't have to take my word
Speaker 1: for it. Here's a report in the Times that I
Speaker 1: wanted to just give you a sense of what's going
Speaker 1: on in Sweden because you noticed the Prime minister there said, yeah,
Speaker 1: we change our legislation about refugees. But why refugees are
Speaker 1: the the the lifeblood of of a wonderful and diverse
Speaker 1: and vibrant society. Right, refugees are the future? Right isn't
Speaker 1: an immigrants and all over the world and all that,
Speaker 1: it's always good. There's no downside. Some people might try
Speaker 1: to say, well, there's upside, but there's also downside. No
Speaker 1: no downside to refugees, immigrants from impoverished, war torn countries.
Speaker 1: The more are the merrier that had been the Swedish
Speaker 1: the Swedish mantra until recently, when things changed a bit.
Speaker 1: And here is how they have changed. This from the
Speaker 1: Times just a few days ago. Quote in the Stockholm
Speaker 1: suburb of var by Guard, it was not unusual to
Speaker 1: see the figure of a sixty three year old man
Speaker 1: peddling a bicycle home after the end of his shift
Speaker 1: as an aid for disabled adults, hunched against the icy
Speaker 1: wind of a Swedish winter. Daniel Zaniga had just finished
Speaker 1: a night shift on a Sunday last month and was
Speaker 1: cycling home with his wife when he spotted a spherical
Speaker 1: object lying on the ground, stopped and reached down to
Speaker 1: take it in his hand. It was an M seventy
Speaker 1: nine m hand grenade, manufactured in great numbers for the
Speaker 1: Yugoslav National Army and then seized by paramilitaries during the
Speaker 1: Civil War in the ninet nineties. The grenades are packed
Speaker 1: with plastic explosives and three thousand steel balls, well suited
Speaker 1: for attacks on enemy trenches and bunkers. Mr Zaniga touched
Speaker 1: it and he set off the detonator. The shock wave
Speaker 1: was so powerful that Mr. Zaniga's wife, Juanna, riding ahead,
Speaker 1: of him was blown off her bicycle and sprawled on
Speaker 1: the ground, modeled with shrapnel wounds. She turned and tried
Speaker 1: to crawl toward her husband, she told a reporter later on,
Speaker 1: but the police, who had been patrolling nearby, kept her back.
Speaker 1: Her husband was killed in this blast. You might be
Speaker 1: asking what the heck is a grenade doing on the
Speaker 1: ground in an otherwise quiet and relatively picture ask sleepy
Speaker 1: suburb of Stockholm, And the answer is that there has
Speaker 1: been arise in grenade attacks in Sweden in the last
Speaker 1: couple of years, and the spike has been noticeable according
Speaker 1: to the official statistics in Sweden, which keep in mind,
Speaker 1: they are playing games with the statistics constantly there. I'll
Speaker 1: get into some of the y in a moment, but
Speaker 1: they're undercounting things. Maybe it's hard to undercount grenade explosions,
Speaker 1: but other aspects of crime and violent crime they are
Speaker 1: intentionally undercounting and ignoring as much as they possibly can
Speaker 1: because they don't want diversity to be a casualty of
Speaker 1: crime statistics in Sweden. You see, isn't it isn't an
Speaker 1: interesting We can have this discussion about what's going on
Speaker 1: in foreign countries and see it objectively. But we try
Speaker 1: to talk about changing immigration policy in our own country
Speaker 1: and looking at illegal immigration and impact on crime, and
Speaker 1: it's automatically you're shouted down with cries of racism, right, xenophobia, islamophobia, whatever,
Speaker 1: whichever one is most effective as a means of silencing discussion,
Speaker 1: that's what they'll use. But here the official Swedish statistics
Speaker 1: in hand grenades were seized by the police in Sweden. Member, folks,
Speaker 1: this is a country of ten million people. So this
Speaker 1: is a country that has basically the population of New
Speaker 1: York City where I am right now. So keep that up.
Speaker 1: So so instead of thinking of it as oh, a
Speaker 1: foreign country had this, think of this as you know,
Speaker 1: the largest US city. These were the crime statistics for it.
Speaker 1: Uh ten detonations. There were fifty five grenades seized in
Speaker 1: Sweden by police, thirty five grenade detonations, thirty nine grenades
Speaker 1: seized in one grenades detonated. I mean these are dozens
Speaker 1: of times that people remember. A detonation means generally speaking
Speaker 1: that this has been deployed, and it's in gang warfare
Speaker 1: between who wants to guess immigrant gangs. In fact, the
Speaker 1: arms market from eastern Europe has become such a such
Speaker 1: an has such an open door into Sweden, actually a
Speaker 1: lot of it via Denmark. That the reporting is that
Speaker 1: you buy the a K forty seven's and they throw
Speaker 1: in the grenades for free. And that's one of the
Speaker 1: reasons why in gang warfare they're using these grenades, because
Speaker 1: they've just got them. Who wants to guess what a
Speaker 1: grenade on the black market in Sweden. By the way,
Speaker 1: I'll say this, it's not easy to buy a grenade
Speaker 1: in the United States in the black market. I work
Speaker 1: for the NYPD, I can tell you that. And when
Speaker 1: was the last time you heard about a grenade attack here, folks?
Speaker 1: It's been a while, right, remember Sweden, tamillion people, not
Speaker 1: that bigger place, dozens of grenade attacks and getting worse.
Speaker 1: And this isn't even taking new account the drive by
Speaker 1: shootings which involve a K forty sevens um. So you know,
Speaker 1: you've got these these bombs that are going off now,
Speaker 1: these you know, small handheld bombs that are being deployed,
Speaker 1: and uh, they're the Swedish governments looking around like WHOA,
Speaker 1: what's going on here? And it's part of this armor
Speaker 1: arms race among immigrant gangs that are able to buy
Speaker 1: handgrids the open market. Hand garnades cost about twelve bucks
Speaker 1: in Sweden right now, you can buy hangry for twelve dollars.
Speaker 1: That's what they say in this article. So, so what
Speaker 1: is this telling us here, folks? Oh, and I would
Speaker 1: note that this is also the same country where police
Speaker 1: officers who say the statistics are being suppressed, that the
Speaker 1: government is lying in order to protect the perception of
Speaker 1: its policies when it comes to immigrants. Hello, oh, anybody
Speaker 1: anybody getting a tingle? This isn't the only place where
Speaker 1: this kind of thing happens. Police in in Sweden who
Speaker 1: question the official statistics and raise the obvious point that
Speaker 1: this is a direct result of predominantly Muslim immigration for
Speaker 1: more torn countries and refugees from Muslim countries are not
Speaker 1: just hounded by the press and you know, by the
Speaker 1: rest of polite Swedish society. The state investigates them for
Speaker 1: inciting hate speech. So if you are in Swedish law
Speaker 1: enforcer right now and you're saying, hey, all these granade
Speaker 1: attacks are the result of immigrant gangs that are going
Speaker 1: after each other that also go after the police, I
Speaker 1: would know that are creating these no go zones, you
Speaker 1: not only won't get the additional resources and attention you're
Speaker 1: looking for to keep your community safe, you will be
Speaker 1: investigated and possibly brought up on charges for hate speech.
Speaker 1: How's that for law enforcement support and policy? Right? It
Speaker 1: is crazy, But you'll notice the Swedish priminnister said, yeah,
Speaker 1: we're gonna change things a little bit. We're going to
Speaker 1: switch things up. Oh, you mean that the diversity at
Speaker 1: all costs, at any costs immigration is the the building
Speaker 1: block of future generations for Western European countries and Western
Speaker 1: civilization in general. You mean that there's maybe some reason
Speaker 1: to believe that there's a trade off at least that's
Speaker 1: made there, that it is not, in fact the case
Speaker 1: that Syria and Afghanistan are in all cases sending us
Speaker 1: their best so to speak. You see, I'm aware of
Speaker 1: when they do send us their best. Right. We told
Speaker 1: the story just last week about our friends from Black
Speaker 1: Rifle who made sure that they took care of one
Speaker 1: of their own and Afghan commando, a door kicker who
Speaker 1: had been fighting along U S two. That is sending
Speaker 1: us their best right. And by the way, our government
Speaker 1: time was not taking good care of that guy and
Speaker 1: the veterans from Black Rifles stepped up and helped them out.
Speaker 1: But as a function of policy, you're talking to refugees
Speaker 1: in a place like Sweden. They've taken hundreds and hundreds
Speaker 1: of thousands in a country of ten million people, A
Speaker 1: few hundred thousand refugees starts to have an impact on
Speaker 1: the culture, on the politics. Things change. And you see
Speaker 1: this with you know, these bomb attacks, these grenade attacks
Speaker 1: in Sweden. How many of you even, just be honest
Speaker 1: with me, how many of you have even heard about this,
Speaker 1: that there's a surgeon grenade attacks in a little quiet,
Speaker 1: otherwise you know, safe and peaceful country of Sweden. Ah,
Speaker 1: you mean that there's not a lot of interest in
Speaker 1: telling that story. I mean, yes, the New York Times
Speaker 1: will cover I mean Times covers dozens hundreds of things
Speaker 1: on any given day, as do all these other major
Speaker 1: newspapers and newsrooms. I haven't seen it leading any evening
Speaker 1: news broadcasts. Have you? Swedish Prime minister just happened to
Speaker 1: be meeting with Trump today, you think maybe somebody would
Speaker 1: point this out. Yeah, we've got a little of a
Speaker 1: crime problem in Sweden. Really, You've got people throwing grenades
Speaker 1: at each other in Stockholm, folks. I think this is noteworthy,
Speaker 1: and I think it also goes to show that one
Speaker 1: of the effects that we have of the Trump area
Speaker 1: is that we are even able to discuss these things.
Speaker 1: And maybe he's even emboldening some other political politically not
Speaker 1: even political groups, just politically minded citizens in places in
Speaker 1: Europe and elsewhere, to say, hold on a second, we
Speaker 1: need to have to talk about this whole refugee diversity
Speaker 1: frenzy and look at what it's really doing to the
Speaker 1: cohesiveness of our society and to rule of law and
Speaker 1: to our communities. Time for that discussion in Sweden, discussion
Speaker 1: that we need to keep having in this country too.
Speaker 1: Isn't it more specifically on illegal immigration, not on refugees
Speaker 1: per se, but similar ideas, similar things at work. Um okay,
Speaker 1: So the Swedish Prime Minister I thought that was that
Speaker 1: really jumped out of me. Today. I want to follow
Speaker 1: up to the uh nunberg a peloozer from yesterday, so
Speaker 1: we'll get into that, and then also very interesting piece
Speaker 1: on how a parent feels about owning a gun in
Speaker 1: the New York Times. We'll get into that and more.
Speaker 1: Stay with me so yesterday there was that scretch where
Speaker 1: we had on on both It's it's unusual to see
Speaker 1: the cable networks, you know, carrying a story at the
Speaker 1: same time that's really a commentary story. It wasn't a
Speaker 1: breaking news story. They were all running the Sam Nunberg
Speaker 1: thing simultaneously at one point. I mean it was like MSNBC, Fox, CNN,
Speaker 1: and they're all covering number. And as I told you
Speaker 1: guys yesterday, I know Sam a little bit. Some some
Speaker 1: friends of mine the business know him very well. I
Speaker 1: know him a little bit um, although I had reached
Speaker 1: out to him recently, just sort of check in and
Speaker 1: kind of wanted to ask him some stuff. And and
Speaker 1: then I didn't realize that he was gonna have quite
Speaker 1: the on air bonanza. I don't know what you'd call it,
Speaker 1: whatever there was that was going on yesterday. We played
Speaker 1: a lot of the audio for you, but I thought
Speaker 1: he was just going rogue and we were playing and
Speaker 1: we played some of the soundbites on the show, because
Speaker 1: initially the story was the refuel was the refusing to
Speaker 1: go with the Mueller probe. And then today I or
Speaker 1: last night and then into today, I saw more of
Speaker 1: it and see him like, actually, Sam was having a
Speaker 1: a tough time. I don't know if we'd call it
Speaker 1: an episode or but he was. He was having a rough,
Speaker 1: a rough go of it. And when I hear that,
Speaker 1: Aaron Net asked him on air if he was drunk
Speaker 1: because she could smell liquor on his breath. Well, now
Speaker 1: we've crossed over from this guy is an interesting fellow
Speaker 1: with with a news with it is newsworthy when somebody
Speaker 1: who is subpoenaed by the special counsel says, Nope, not
Speaker 1: gonna do it. You know, I was ties to Trump.
Speaker 1: That is newsworthy. So there was I have no uh,
Speaker 1: no problems or qualms with the coverage of that. But
Speaker 1: then it turned into a kind of human disaster tourism.
Speaker 1: You know. There was a little bit of a you know,
Speaker 1: joy riding in somebody else's pain and embarrassment that was
Speaker 1: going on with some of the media last night. And
Speaker 1: I found that really, there's there's a line, there's a boundary.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna pretend. Look I covered it here. I
Speaker 1: called Sam. I wanted to join in. I didn't realize that.
Speaker 1: I mean, I didn't smell any alcohol. His breath becase
Speaker 1: I didn't see him, right, I didn't know um, But
Speaker 1: then when I saw some of the additional interviews that
Speaker 1: he was giving, something was off. And now as of
Speaker 1: today with there's no surprise here at all. But as
Speaker 1: of today he has said he will in fact cooperate
Speaker 1: with the Special Council. Um, there's that. But it made
Speaker 1: me think. People were asking today, they said, well, you know, you,
Speaker 1: what do you think about Sam's whatever we're gonna call
Speaker 1: his episode? I mean, I know, I said, we're not
Speaker 1: sure if that's what it was. But Sam's run on
Speaker 1: the media last night, I thought he was going rogue.
Speaker 1: I think actually he was having a bit of a
Speaker 1: of a tough go and and I don't like I
Speaker 1: don't like it when you know, when someone's in a
Speaker 1: frame of mind where they're having a rough a rough time,
Speaker 1: and you know, you don't want to you don't want
Speaker 1: to be exploiting their embarrassment in a way that's that's heartless.
Speaker 1: And I think that there were some outlets that you know,
Speaker 1: it was a spectrum. It started out okay, news story, interviews,
Speaker 1: what's going on? He said some really interesting stuff, But
Speaker 1: towards the end when he got into later interviews and
Speaker 1: then they kept them on almost a full houred Aaron
Speaker 1: Burne that that's when I think it's sort of the
Speaker 1: moment that Erin Burnett says, I think you're drunk. I
Speaker 1: can smell alcohol on your breath, and now it's time
Speaker 1: to have the producers say Okay, no more interviews. And
Speaker 1: I think they knew well before then too, and they
Speaker 1: put them on air anyway, and that's that's distasteful. But
Speaker 1: somebody asked me, um, what I think of what I
Speaker 1: think of what happened? And you know, I wanted to
Speaker 1: walk you through my analysis of this and bring another
Speaker 1: figure in Trump's orbit into this discussion, and that is
Speaker 1: General Michael Flynn. Because I am not just running out
Speaker 1: of attention span for this Special Council probe, I'm also
Speaker 1: running out of patience for it as an American, as
Speaker 1: a person who believes in what is fair, what is right,
Speaker 1: due process, and the rule of law. I think this
Speaker 1: is an abuse. I think it is an exploitation of
Speaker 1: d o J authorities. I think it is wildly politicized.
Speaker 1: And one part of this that does not get nearly
Speaker 1: enough attention is the damage that is being done to
Speaker 1: real people every day. So that is a subject that
Speaker 1: in the next hour I want to return to with you,
Speaker 1: and then we'll talk about are really compelling editorial written
Speaker 1: by a mom about how she has guns to protect
Speaker 1: her kids. Sponsor this half hour is Global Verification Network.
Speaker 1: If you are running a business and you're going to
Speaker 1: be either hiring people or engaging with a new really

Speaker 1: bed with, so to speak. You have to know what
Speaker 1: their background is. Are these people or are these companies?

Speaker 1: nine and say you heard about it on the Buck
Speaker 1: sexty show. He's back with you now, because when it
Speaker 1: comes to the fight for truth, the fuck never stops.
Speaker 1: Welcome to our two of the bucks X and show
Speaker 1: everybody great to have you with me. Thank you so
Speaker 1: much for joining. We've got some breaking news here. Trump's
Speaker 1: chief economist, Gary Cone, chief economic advisor, is out, the
Speaker 1: latest to depart this White House. I'm not worried about
Speaker 1: I'm not worried about it. I'm mad at you, Gary Cone.
Speaker 1: I understanding got other things to do. One thing I'd
Speaker 1: like to know, and this is in the may not
Speaker 1: make me the most popular guy in the world file,
Speaker 1: but it is in the keeping it real file. You
Speaker 1: know that he used to be. I think it still
Speaker 1: is the law that if you had to divest yourself
Speaker 1: of shares, let's say, of a company like Goldman Sachs,
Speaker 1: and you went to work for the government, that you
Speaker 1: were exempt from paying federal income tax because you are
Speaker 1: forced to sell those shares. Well, let's say you have
Speaker 1: like fifty or a hundred million dollars of Goldman Sachs stock,
Speaker 1: and you go work for the White House as the
Speaker 1: Treasury Secretary, for example, or chief Economic advisor. It is
Speaker 1: my understanding that you if not get a total exemption,
Speaker 1: certainly get a very preferential tax treatment of that income
Speaker 1: ones because you are forced to sell it to divis
Speaker 1: you divest yourself with those interests. That is quite a windfall.
Speaker 1: And I would like to know how many of those
Speaker 1: who take senior administer ration posts and stay for a
Speaker 1: year and leave fall under Oh you're not gonna hear
Speaker 1: other folks asking about this, and I want to know.
Speaker 1: I would like to know if that is in fact
Speaker 1: still the case, if that is still happening. But Cone
Speaker 1: is out and there saying it's because of tariffs, which
Speaker 1: I've been talking about in the last hour, and and
Speaker 1: I'm trying to take a, if not contrary, and at
Speaker 1: least an open minded point of view on this. Right.
Speaker 1: We know Trump loves growth, loves jobs, and knows that
Speaker 1: the heart of the success of his presidency is the economy.
Speaker 1: And how's it doing. Immigration is tied to the economy,
Speaker 1: but the economy has to be a centerpiece of it. Um.
Speaker 1: So that's the breaking news I have for you here
Speaker 1: on Cone. You've got CNN writing that stock futures plummet
Speaker 1: as news of Gary Cohne resigns. I mean, who knows
Speaker 1: if that's stock futures plummet. They'll be fine again tomorrow. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: you got Joe Mansion, West Virginia, uh saying run and
Speaker 1: making the rounds on Fox News saying that he agrees
Speaker 1: with the Trump tariff plan. Now, is that just because
Speaker 1: Mansion is in a state that would specifically benefit from
Speaker 1: a revitalized steel and aluminum industry. We'll have to see,
Speaker 1: we'll look into it. But just to return for a moment,
Speaker 1: if I can to this story from yesterday about Sam
Speaker 1: Nunberg and how it went from breaking news story two
Speaker 1: pretty clear exploitation. I mean, this was the real turning
Speaker 1: point on CNN last night. So Sam, I have to
Speaker 1: ask you one other thing, and it's an awkward question
Speaker 1: to ask, but you know I've I've been before. You're
Speaker 1: sitting very close to me. We talked earlier about what
Speaker 1: people in the White House were saying about you, talking
Speaker 1: about whether you you were you were drinking or on
Speaker 1: drugs or whatever they had happened. Today, Um, talking to you,
Speaker 1: I have smelled alcohol in your breath. Well, I have
Speaker 1: not had to drink, haven't had a drink, So that's
Speaker 1: not so I I just because it is the talk
Speaker 1: out there again. I know it's awkward. Let me just
Speaker 1: get give you the question to theory, not anything else, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: besides my beds. Let me just say that that's a
Speaker 1: conversation that as a as a journalist, as a multimillionaire journalist,
Speaker 1: I would note Aaron Burnett is well into a seven
Speaker 1: figures territory over at CNN and transverse salary, very very
Speaker 1: well compensated. Why Aaron Burnett makes like three or four
Speaker 1: million dollars a year or whatever it is, it's close
Speaker 1: to that, And why so many other journalists out there
Speaker 1: who I think have a better skill set and just
Speaker 1: more bring more talent to the table, or you know,
Speaker 1: maybe making seven figures if I mean six figures, not
Speaker 1: seven figures, six figures, that they're lucky. That's a conversation
Speaker 1: that I don't even know how to have it. I
Speaker 1: don't know these things make It's not fair, folks, life
Speaker 1: is fair. But that's I suppose separate from this discussion.
Speaker 1: Aaron should know better. She should have asked Sam that
Speaker 1: stuff off camera and made the executive call on her
Speaker 1: show that she was not going to put somebody that
Speaker 1: she believed, whether he admits it or whether he agrees
Speaker 1: or not, I'm not gonna put somebody on air that
Speaker 1: is inebriated or is in the middle of some kind
Speaker 1: of a mental health episode, one way or another. And
Speaker 1: so they crossed over. But I want to note that
Speaker 1: this is this is not actually surprising because for the
Speaker 1: for the anti Trump left, there are really no rules
Speaker 1: in this game. There's no decency, there's no integrity, there's
Speaker 1: no sense of fair play that will govern how they
Speaker 1: do their jobs in the media. And I'm also reminded
Speaker 1: today of the cost of the approach here. Remember, it's
Speaker 1: because the media demanded a special counsel that we have
Speaker 1: a special counsel. It's because he's a grandstanding fraud who
Speaker 1: used the media as his mouthpiece to demand a special counsel,
Speaker 1: that we have a special counsel. And not today a
Speaker 1: story about General Flynn, someone who spent decades serving his
Speaker 1: country in the United States Armed Forces, was the director
Speaker 1: of the Defense Intelligence Agency, and the story today is
Speaker 1: that he has had to sell his home. He's had
Speaker 1: to sell us home to pay for legal bills. He's
Speaker 1: already pleaded guilty. Folks, sell us home to illegal bills.
Speaker 1: How do you think that feels after thirty years of
Speaker 1: service to your country, and for what, for lying to
Speaker 1: the FBI about Russia collusion that never happened. Not even
Speaker 1: clear that he lied to the FBI. The FBI apparently
Speaker 1: wasn't sure that he lied to the FBI, but later
Speaker 1: on they became sure enough that they would put forward
Speaker 1: a felony charge, mark him as a convicted criminal, and
Speaker 1: ruin his life and for what. There are real costs here, folks.
Speaker 1: There are casualties in this Special Council witch hunt, just
Speaker 1: as there were casualties in the witch hunts of old.
Speaker 1: That's why it's such a good term to use. This
Speaker 1: is not without pain, This is not without loss. The
Speaker 1: left and the media apparatus that supports it, seeing n
Speaker 1: MSNBC and the rest, they present this whole Special Council
Speaker 1: situation as though it's you know, we just want to
Speaker 1: get to the truth. We just want to know what happened,
Speaker 1: you know, just the facts. Now, this is a a
Speaker 1: wild rogue elephant trampling villagers left and right. That's what
Speaker 1: this is. It's going way beyond its mandate. It is
Speaker 1: crushing people just for the purpose of justifying its own existence.
Speaker 1: And Flynn is just one of the latest casualties in
Speaker 1: this whole thing is life. I mean, you know, he's
Speaker 1: probably not going to go to prison because he pleaded guilty.
Speaker 1: He could though, he could serve some time, but his
Speaker 1: reputation is ruined. He's a convicted felon. Now I used
Speaker 1: to sell his home. And for a lot of you listening,
Speaker 1: I know you probably maybe you know you're still paying
Speaker 1: off mortgage on your home. Um you're maybe you've been
Speaker 1: lucky enough, fortunate enough, worked hard enough that you've paid
Speaker 1: it all off already. But imagine you had to lose,
Speaker 1: you had to lose the place that you call home
Speaker 1: because of what is effectively a technicality of investigation that's
Speaker 1: just all about politics. How do you explained that one
Speaker 1: to your wife and kids? How does that one feel?
Speaker 1: Not nearly enough attention I think on this part of
Speaker 1: the this part of the issue and and why I'm
Speaker 1: thinking about it as well right now, is not just
Speaker 1: the Flynn story broke, but also you know, Sam Nunberg
Speaker 1: may have been rattled by the subpoena from a special
Speaker 1: counsel that could cost him tens of thousands of dollars. Look,
Speaker 1: if I got a subpoena from a Special councils. I
Speaker 1: don't have tens of thousands of dollars to spend on
Speaker 1: lawyers to keep me out of prison. I don't know
Speaker 1: what I do. I'd have to go beg for money
Speaker 1: from my family or friends or something. You know, I
Speaker 1: wouldn't be able to do it. So I feel for Sam.
Speaker 1: You know, people are saying, oh, well, and what could
Speaker 1: have caused him to have some kind of stress related
Speaker 1: incident like this? I'm pretty sure the hyperpartisan and preposterously
Speaker 1: politicize special Counsel investigation saying that we want all records
Speaker 1: of her communications, we want you to testify, and oh,
Speaker 1: by the way, our favorite game to play is whoops,
Speaker 1: you lie about something minor, now you go to prison.
Speaker 1: That may have added to his stress just a little bit.
Speaker 1: Don't you think the same folks who sleep sound as
Speaker 1: babies at night knowing that they have ruined a patriot
Speaker 1: like General Flynn's reputation, and I'm if they haven't already,
Speaker 1: they're going to bankrupt the guy. They got no problem
Speaker 1: with that at all. Russia collusion not I didn't do
Speaker 1: any of that, but you know, we think maybe he
Speaker 1: lied to us We're not sure, but let's go with
Speaker 1: he lied to us. Muller's folks, look power mad. Prosecutors
Speaker 1: are the most dangerous political force in the country. Don't
Speaker 1: forget it, ruined lives and there's almost no accountability. There
Speaker 1: really is no accountability. Prosecutors have to flagrantly violate the
Speaker 1: law for there to be any real consequences for their actions.
Speaker 1: And if it falls within the discretion just being a
Speaker 1: dirt bag, Oh, they can get away with that any
Speaker 1: day of the week. Look back at Mueller's over zealous
Speaker 1: prosecutions of the past, and none of this is surprising. Well,
Speaker 1: this is surprising at all. So what happened with Sam
Speaker 1: I don't know what's happened with General Flynn. People that
Speaker 1: are just collateral damage of the whiny, self obsessed snowflake
Speaker 1: ism of the Oh Hillary should have won the election.
Speaker 1: Russia made Trump win the election. It's pathetic, and people
Speaker 1: are actually losing things as a result of it, real things.
Speaker 1: They're losing their respect, They're losing the dignity the respect
Speaker 1: of their peers. They're losing the dignity of being able
Speaker 1: to stay in their own homes, They're losing their life savings,
Speaker 1: their ability to work and what is what are we
Speaker 1: seeing to justify this? Oh yeah, that's right, an indictment
Speaker 1: against seventeen Russian clowns that are never gonna be extradited.
Speaker 1: That set up some social media accounts, whoa Mueller's America's
Speaker 1: g man really keeping us safe? It's a joke, except
Speaker 1: it's not funny at all. Going to quick break, We'll
Speaker 1: be right back. I thought I should share with you
Speaker 1: team this editorial written by Bethany Mandel in the New
Speaker 1: York Times, title is I wanted to be a good mom,
Speaker 1: so I got a gun. Let me just give you
Speaker 1: some of what Bethany writes here. A few months after
Speaker 1: my father left our family at home for good, my
Speaker 1: mother heard me screaming in the middle of the night.
Speaker 1: It was the kind of scream that made her grab
Speaker 1: her rifle in one hand and some ammo in the other.
Speaker 1: It was a spring night, and I was sleeping with
Speaker 1: my window open, which was right above my bed. I
Speaker 1: loved breathing in the fresh air. That night, in that
Speaker 1: open window, I heard the banging of a ladder, and
Speaker 1: by the time my mother made it into the room
Speaker 1: and began loading her gun, a man was about to
Speaker 1: climb in. She said something along the lines of Bethany,
Speaker 1: come over here. I don't want you to get his
Speaker 1: brain matter on your face. I'm backed up behind her
Speaker 1: and my mother raised her gun. The would be intruders
Speaker 1: slowly back down the ladder. As he climbed down, my
Speaker 1: mother approached the barrel of her rifle was inches away
Speaker 1: from his face, and she told him, next time you
Speaker 1: come here, I won't hesitate. She had her gun pointed
Speaker 1: at him through the window on his way down, and
Speaker 1: as he went down the ladder, she grabbed the top
Speaker 1: and shook it just to put the fear of God
Speaker 1: into him one last time before he fled. Um. My
Speaker 1: mother admired Ralph Nader and voted for the Green Party,
Speaker 1: but there was an issue in which she was not
Speaker 1: the most progressive person in the room. She owned guns. Um.
Speaker 1: This is a very interesting perspective, very worthwhile perspector from Bethany,
Speaker 1: who's I'm familiar with her work. She's a conservative writer
Speaker 1: and no pundit. But she's saying, look, I I had
Speaker 1: experience as a as a young young girl with my
Speaker 1: mother defending our home with with a firearm. This is
Speaker 1: not some theoretical that doesn't occur countless times across the country.
Speaker 1: She experienced it herself. And there's notion, And this is
Speaker 1: what she's combating. This notion that anybody who cares about
Speaker 1: kids must be opposed to guns is obviously directly at
Speaker 1: odds with what I'm sure many of you feel listening
Speaker 1: to the show, which is, no, I care about my kids,
Speaker 1: so I have guns to protect them. I care about
Speaker 1: my family, so I'm armed, whether just at home or
Speaker 1: some of you conceal or open carry, I'm sure as well.
Speaker 1: And that's why you believe in the Second Amendment and
Speaker 1: exercise you're right to bear arms, not because you don't
Speaker 1: care about kids. It's because you do care so much
Speaker 1: about your kids and any other kids that you could
Speaker 1: defend if you had to, under the circumstances of you
Speaker 1: being armed and there being a mortal threat in your vicinity.
Speaker 1: Here's how she finishes her piece, um a compromise will
Speaker 1: require gun control activists to confront the lie of one
Speaker 1: of their favorite talking points that gun rights supporters care
Speaker 1: more about guns than children. For many, support for gun
Speaker 1: rights is motivated precisely by our devotion to protecting our
Speaker 1: kids well said by Bethany here, and a very important
Speaker 1: aspect of this she's you see, this upsets the left,
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna get into some of the backlash that
Speaker 1: she has had as a result of writing this piece
Speaker 1: in just a moment. But one of their favorite versions
Speaker 1: of moral blackmail on the issue of gun control is
Speaker 1: to say, you either agree with us, or you don't
Speaker 1: care about kids. You either want to ban certain kinds
Speaker 1: of firearms or all firearms in private hands in this country,
Speaker 1: or your in favor of children suffering horrific violence in
Speaker 1: schools and elsewhere. That's the that's the dishonest but unfortunately
Speaker 1: somewhat effective moral blackmail that they employed. As you can
Speaker 1: imagine the moment that someone with this experience and with
Speaker 1: the writing skills that Bethany brings to bear, confronts that
Speaker 1: favorite trope of the left for the purposes of gun control.
Speaker 1: There's a tremendous amount of backlash. And this is what
Speaker 1: you know when I am in the bowels of social
Speaker 1: media and seeing the punditry mix it up on a
Speaker 1: constant basis, this is the kind of stuff that you'll
Speaker 1: come across. I don't know how many of you know
Speaker 1: Shannon Watts. She is a gun control activist. Um, I
Speaker 1: forget forget the name of her Mom's demand Guns Control
Speaker 1: or something like that. She has some organization, and I
Speaker 1: know that she often has gone after once again, my
Speaker 1: former colleague and friend Dana Lash in ways that are
Speaker 1: just just despicable. I mean, she's just nasty. But this
Speaker 1: you've got to really read it to believe it, or
Speaker 1: hear it to believe it. So I'll tell you what happened,
Speaker 1: so Shannon Watts on Twitter response. So, Bethany is dealing
Speaker 1: with a lot of a lot of heat here because
Speaker 1: of this piece, she wrote, And in a response to
Speaker 1: another tweet, Bethany wrote the following, I took my mom
Speaker 1: off life support at sixteen, had my father hang himself
Speaker 1: when I was nineteen, and grew up in a single
Speaker 1: wide trailer in Northrops Trailer Park and upstate New York.
Speaker 1: Besides that, I've been truly blessed. She was obviously engaging
Speaker 1: in a bit of self deprecating humor here. Um, but
Speaker 1: she's telling that she had obviously had a tough go. Um,
Speaker 1: she's had a tough go, and you know that's what
Speaker 1: she's Uh, she starts out with Come on now, Neon,
Speaker 1: I didn't see the beginning of this exchange. This is
Speaker 1: to another Twitter account that I know, Neon Taster, who
Speaker 1: I'm not. I don't know who that is, but it's
Speaker 1: pretty well followed account anyway. But in response to that
Speaker 1: very difficult series of events that Bethany lets out from
Speaker 1: her life, Shannon Watts, the gun control activist, writes this
Speaker 1: because now Bethany is the enemy, you see, because she
Speaker 1: wrote this piece about how people who own guns want
Speaker 1: to protect their children. So Shannon Wats, gun control activists,
Speaker 1: writes to Bethany in response, they're talking about how she
Speaker 1: lost her mom and her dad. Quote again, Bethany, your
Speaker 1: white skin makes you less likely to be at risk
Speaker 1: as a gun owner, regardless of your hard scrabble background.
Speaker 1: I guess you don't believe in racism. How someone could
Speaker 1: be so completely detached from the sympathy that one should
Speaker 1: give to somebody that has laid out this story, How
Speaker 1: one could be so just tactless and heartless, is really
Speaker 1: an indictment of the insanity of the left on gun control. Here.
Speaker 1: It is hard to believe that any human being would
Speaker 1: write something like that to somebody else. But when it
Speaker 1: comes to gun control, the left, Shannon wats all the
Speaker 1: rest of them. They they just take no prisoner. They're
Speaker 1: looking to annihilate the opposition. We'll be right back. North
Speaker 1: Korea threatens the entire global community through its unlawful nuclear
Speaker 1: and ballistic missile programs and proliferation activities, including its arms
Speaker 1: exports to Africa. It doesn't just involve our allies in
Speaker 1: Europe or Asia. It doesn't just include countries with longstanding
Speaker 1: ties to the DPRK like China and Russia. This is
Speaker 1: and must be a global effort. They're in Secretary of
Speaker 1: State Rex Tillerson talking about the latest with North Korea.
Speaker 1: Some very interesting developments there. You have Kim Jong un
Speaker 1: saying that his regime North Korea is willing to negotiate
Speaker 1: over their nuclear program. Now let's step back for a
Speaker 1: moment before we get too excited or too far down
Speaker 1: this pathway. This is clearly the place on the globe
Speaker 1: with the greatest likelihood of a major conventional military conflict
Speaker 1: in the near term, with the United States leaving out
Speaker 1: other countries. But if we are gonna have a big
Speaker 1: problem with a country in the next six to twelve months,
Speaker 1: on the military side of things, I think North Korea
Speaker 1: is the most likely place where we could say nation
Speaker 1: we could see nation state to nation state conflict. That
Speaker 1: also involves two nuclear powers, right, And one of the
Speaker 1: understandings we have whenever we have approached North Korea as
Speaker 1: an issue in the past is that the North Korean
Speaker 1: regime will not, under any circumstances negotiate over nukes, be
Speaker 1: because nukes are essential for regime survival. That if they
Speaker 1: were to consider giving up their nuclear weapons, then there
Speaker 1: would be the very real possibility that the regime could implode,
Speaker 1: that you would have a coup and all that stuff.
Speaker 1: And if you're the capital of a maniacal crime family
Speaker 1: that is running what is a glorified prison camp with
Speaker 1: nuclear missiles pointing out of it, you probably don't want
Speaker 1: to be in a situation where you lose your grip
Speaker 1: on power. So nukes are the apex of force. Therefore,
Speaker 1: North Korea can't if it if the Kim diynasty is
Speaker 1: gonna stay in charge, stay in power, can't negotiate over nukes.
Speaker 1: So we have been told, all right, perhaps things are changing.
Speaker 1: In fact, Trump was asked about this today in his
Speaker 1: meeting with the Swedish Prime Minister. And here's what our
Speaker 1: commander in chief had to say. Do you believe that
Speaker 1: North Korea's recent willingness to talk is sincere or is
Speaker 1: it an effort to buy time for their nuclear program?
Speaker 1: And to what do you owe this recent openness to talk? Me? No,
Speaker 1: I think that nobody got that. Trump makes a joke
Speaker 1: about how it's him. But I would note that there
Speaker 1: is the possibility here that Trump is in fact the
Speaker 1: X factor we were We've been told that his tweets.
Speaker 1: I mean, it has been raised for a while now
Speaker 1: by the media that unless someone in the White House
Speaker 1: physically seizes Trump's smartphone out of his hands, I don't
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's an iPhone or whatever it is,
Speaker 1: but unless unless they sees it from him, Trump could
Speaker 1: stumble into a nuclear conflagration with the wrong tweet. Right.
Speaker 1: He called Kim Jong un little rocket Man, which is
Speaker 1: a very catchy nickname that I think is going to
Speaker 1: stick around for quite some time. He has been bellicos
Speaker 1: in his rhetoric, and for a while at least they
Speaker 1: were saying that there was a very real possibility of
Speaker 1: Trump pushing us into an open conflict and you know,
Speaker 1: Honolulu was on the hit list or Hawaii was on
Speaker 1: the hit list of places Kim would go after because
Speaker 1: of Trump's recklessness. And we remember then, that's why the
Speaker 1: missile scare, the incoming missile scare, which turned out just
Speaker 1: to be a very incompetent government employee. Uh that that's
Speaker 1: why it had some some bite at the time, because
Speaker 1: it seemed like, given all the talk over Hawaii and
Speaker 1: what was going on there, there was the possibility of,
Speaker 1: you know, the realistic thought processes behind a missile strike
Speaker 1: on Korea were there. But now I'm gonna get into
Speaker 1: what I think has actually happened. Nick, Does this ties
Speaker 1: into maybe Trump is the X factor, the great negotiator,
Speaker 1: and he's going to figure all this out, and he's
Speaker 1: got this thing. Where did you go? There's another possibility,
Speaker 1: a very different one, and that is that North Korea
Speaker 1: is trying to play us here, and that would be
Speaker 1: in keeping with historical norms for the Kim dynasty. Remember
Speaker 1: there was this whole charm offensive at the Olympics. In fact,
Speaker 1: Kim's sister, Kim Jongan's sister, who attended the Olympics, was
Speaker 1: received warmly, was really celebrated by much of the media,
Speaker 1: notably CNN and others, and was compared favorably, was compared
Speaker 1: favorably to Trump and Pence. Right, So, the dictator's sister,
Speaker 1: who's the head of the propaganda committee for North Korea,
Speaker 1: by the way, it's knowledge, she's just some bystander here
Speaker 1: who because of her ties, of her ties of a
Speaker 1: familial lineage, was brought into this. But the media was
Speaker 1: willing to say that she did. You know, she presented
Speaker 1: herself well and she's fascinating and stole the show and
Speaker 1: all this stuff, right, because there is nothing there's no
Speaker 1: level that the electing media will not go to. There's
Speaker 1: no level of debasement that is too much if they
Speaker 1: think that they can at the same time harm the
Speaker 1: Trump administration in some way or another. But I think
Speaker 1: this is very unlikely to go anywhere. I think North
Speaker 1: Korea wants to get some sanctions relief. I think that
Speaker 1: they're trying to negotiate their way out of a tight spot.
Speaker 1: Trump has increased the pressure on them. They are tracking
Speaker 1: down any ships that engage in shenanigans to try and
Speaker 1: get around the sanctions. And North Korea is just generally speaking,
Speaker 1: um just just doing whatever they can being deceptive here
Speaker 1: in the hopes of achieving what they've achieved in the past,
Speaker 1: which is to get at concessions from the international community
Speaker 1: without really changing their behavior in one way or another.
Speaker 1: So that's what I that's what I see happening here.
Speaker 1: I would love to think that this could be the
Speaker 1: greatest diplomatic and national security victory of the post Cold
Speaker 1: War air because that's what de nuclearization of the Korean
Speaker 1: Peninsula would be. But it is much more likely. Uh,
Speaker 1: And all indicators still point the direction of this being
Speaker 1: a head fake. All right, we'll be right back. We're
Speaker 1: gonna talk about Farrakon after the break. Stay with me.
Speaker 1: So we have to ask the question here that many
Speaker 1: in the media are gonna want to avoid. But why
Speaker 1: is it that Louis Farrakon, the vile anti Semite and
Speaker 1: leader of the Nation of Islam. Why is it that
Speaker 1: Louis Farrakhan is not just accepted in polite society, but
Speaker 1: is in fact still tree did with reverence by the
Speaker 1: Democrat Party. Democrat politicians all the way up and down
Speaker 1: the chain of command and power will kiss the ring,
Speaker 1: so to speak. They will visit with Farrik Cohn they'll
Speaker 1: talk to Farik Cohn, none other than Barack Obama himself. Folks,
Speaker 1: during his initial campaign one for the presidentcy you remember
Speaker 1: that photo that a journalist had but figured, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm not sure that a photo of Barack Obama meeting with,
Speaker 1: smiling with, and shaking hands with Louis Farrakhn's a good
Speaker 1: look for Hope and Change two eight. So they just
Speaker 1: buried it. They decided that it would be better to
Speaker 1: to hide that one. For the public. They see, that's
Speaker 1: the media just straight up stacking the deck for the left,
Speaker 1: for the Democrats. That's that's what they do. We keep
Speaker 1: catching them doing it, and they keep saying, what do
Speaker 1: you mean, where don't stock the deck? What about this time? Okay?
Speaker 1: Maybe once and then we say, well what about this time?
Speaker 1: Okay maybe, but this time you're mean, I mean, they've
Speaker 1: got nothing. They can't actually engage on this point. They
Speaker 1: can't engage in this debate because it's so obvious. Yet.
Speaker 1: Farikon just recently, just recently gave a speech where he
Speaker 1: said the kind of things, the kind of disgusting, hateful
Speaker 1: things that for any other figure in public life would
Speaker 1: be a career ender. You would be done. No ifs
Speaker 1: ends or butts. Here is what Farrakon had to say.
Speaker 1: He talked about the grip in Hollywood and how the
Speaker 1: Jews were responsible for all of this filth and degenerate
Speaker 1: behavior that Hollywood is putting out, turning men into women
Speaker 1: and women into men. Oh there's it's it's worse. It's
Speaker 1: even worse. I will credit Jake Tapper with at least
Speaker 1: being willing to point this out. He went to Twitter
Speaker 1: to say the following. On Sunday, the Reverend Reverend Farikon
Speaker 1: gave his Savior's dayeen address attended by thousands, including one
Speaker 1: of the co founders of the Women's March. Shortly after.
Speaker 1: In this video, Farrakon proclaims that the quote powerful Jews
Speaker 1: are my enemy end quote. At another mark, Farrakon begins
Speaker 1: approvingly quoting some of the anti submitted comments made by
Speaker 1: President Richard Nixon in the Oval Office and by Billy
Speaker 1: Graham in the Oval Office. According to Jake Tapper here
Speaker 1: at two fifty nine. The video, Farrakon approvingly cites Nixon
Speaker 1: and Graham attacking quote Jews, grip on the media in
Speaker 1: Hollywood and how the Jews were responsible for all this filth.
Speaker 1: That was the clip we just played for you. Later
Speaker 1: on the Speed, Farrakhan calls Jews the mother and father
Speaker 1: of apartheid, the Jews um. He also goes on to say,
Speaker 1: let me tell you something. When you want something in
Speaker 1: this world, this is Farrakon here. When you want something
Speaker 1: in this world, quote the Jew holds the door. And
Speaker 1: quote for a normal person, any person, I don't even
Speaker 1: mean just public figures, this would be the end you.
Speaker 1: You would be rightly condemned. You'd be called an anti Semite,
Speaker 1: and that would be that would be it right. This
Speaker 1: is a public address. This isn't like someone put a
Speaker 1: microphone in his apartment and he thought he was not
Speaker 1: that would excuse the sentiments. But he's not even hiding
Speaker 1: that this is how he feels. Right, He's not even
Speaker 1: pretending that this is the way that he feels. And
Speaker 1: yet he will be included in the you know, he's
Speaker 1: included in the women's march. He is still revered um.
Speaker 1: And this is who Farrakhan is. What we just saw
Speaker 1: here and you see here's and here's what Tappa wrote.
Speaker 1: And again I credit him for on this issue. When
Speaker 1: people are right, I say they're right. I don't. I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't do this purely tribalistic my side, their side thing.
Speaker 1: Sometimes liberal journalists do very good things. I think, for example,
Speaker 1: Glenn Glenn Greenwald is just insanely wrong and disingenuous on
Speaker 1: some issues, but on others, I'm like, yeah, he's right,
Speaker 1: he gets it, he's correct, and it kind of hurts
Speaker 1: me when I have to say it, but I will
Speaker 1: say it. You know, I think that Greenwald actually approaches
Speaker 1: his craft with some journalistic of ethics, or at least
Speaker 1: some sense of speaking truth to power, you know. I
Speaker 1: mean we could that's a whole other discussion, but he
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to think of people that are I
Speaker 1: disagree with on a lot of stuff, but occasionally they're
Speaker 1: really right, and when they're right, I say it. And
Speaker 1: you know, Greenwald, for example, in the Russia thing, he's like,
Speaker 1: this is a joke, right, this is a clown show.
Speaker 1: We're talking about Facebook ghost accounts and sock puppets and
Speaker 1: Twitter trolls. This is and this is a national security threat.
Speaker 1: I mean, what are they smoking? Over and over in
Speaker 1: the Democrat corridors of Congress. But Tappa wrote about the
Speaker 1: farra Con speech brings us back into what farra Con
Speaker 1: said here the difference between Farrakhan quote and some members
Speaker 1: of the alt right, whose heinous bigotry has received a
Speaker 1: lot of attention this past year. Farrakon has a much
Speaker 1: larger following and elected officials meet with him openly. The
Speaker 1: Women's March co chair Tamika Mallory was in attendance at
Speaker 1: that speech. I mean, the leftist activist groups, powerful leftist
Speaker 1: activist groups, will still kiss Farrakon's ring. They will still
Speaker 1: give him not just a platform, not just respect, but
Speaker 1: they will elevate him some kind of power broker. It
Speaker 1: is a disgrace. I remember some years before I started
Speaker 1: at Amherst College, farrakn was the keynote speaker at the
Speaker 1: commencement address for the University of Massachusetts. I think, or
Speaker 1: maybe it was just a big speech. I could be
Speaker 1: wrong about him being at the commencement address, strike that
Speaker 1: from the record. He was a speaker though at UMSS
Speaker 1: that much I do know. I forget what the speech
Speaker 1: was specifically, was a long time ago. Gosh, I'm getting old,
Speaker 1: but he was a speaker at u mass invited guest
Speaker 1: and I remember being there when Justice Scalia was an
Speaker 1: invited guest at Emmer's College, just down the street from
Speaker 1: the University of Massachusetts, where I was a student, and
Speaker 1: the entire political science department boycott attending the speech, advised
Speaker 1: other students not to go to the speech. Students wore
Speaker 1: black arm bands to the speech. People stood outside in
Speaker 1: a duck costume. Wack because of Scalia's hunting trip with
Speaker 1: somebody who had some connection to some company that tied
Speaker 1: into some Supreme Court business. I mean, it was a flimsy,
Speaker 1: flimsy storyline, but they still were making the big deal
Speaker 1: about recusal and quack quack and duck hunting and all
Speaker 1: of this. And Scalia had a daughter who was a
Speaker 1: student at the time and was well known. It was
Speaker 1: actually I always really liked her, and she was a
Speaker 1: couple of years ahead of me. And they still were
Speaker 1: disrespectful while Scalia was this is a small college. It's
Speaker 1: getting a sitting Supreme Court justice to come by. He
Speaker 1: gets protests, Farakon gets standing ovations. There's a real problem
Speaker 1: in our country and our culture. Folks. Um, Why the
Speaker 1: media isn't forced to answer this question more openly? Why
Speaker 1: it wasn't a bigger problem. You know, people say, oh,
Speaker 1: look at Trump and his record. Okay, So now that
Speaker 1: we have a little more information here, not only did
Speaker 1: Barack Obama launch his political career in the living room
Speaker 1: of a domestic terrorist, Bill ayres in Chicago. And not
Speaker 1: only did Barack Obama sit, by his own and by
Speaker 1: his own admission, in a church for twenty years that
Speaker 1: had a pastor who would say Goddamn America and the
Speaker 1: nine eleven with the chickens coming home to roost and
Speaker 1: you're familiar with all that, he also would gladly take
Speaker 1: a private meeting with shake the hand off, and pose
Speaker 1: for photos with Louis Farrakhon, who is who is an
Speaker 1: actual anti semi. You know, people throw around these terms racism,
Speaker 1: anti Semite, and oftentimes they're abused. The terms themselves become politicized,
Speaker 1: they become weaponized to silence people you don't like or
Speaker 1: but Farrakon is actually an end He's actually an anti semi.
Speaker 1: And they hit a photo of Barack Obama with them
Speaker 1: because that would have looked bad, right, But the truth
Speaker 1: was that he took the meeting, and he took the
Speaker 1: meeting because Farrakon still has residence in some quarters, far
Speaker 1: a Con still has some some political power, some some
Speaker 1: sway uh, And it's a disgrace. It's a disgrace that
Speaker 1: he has any following in the Black community or any
Speaker 1: community for that matter. And yet they won't really call
Speaker 1: him out. They won't give farra Con the same treatment
Speaker 1: that other public figures who have said heinous and destructive
Speaker 1: things publicly or privately, and not not not give him
Speaker 1: the same situation, right, won't won't actually hold him too
Speaker 1: account And we should all ask why. And as the
Speaker 1: media tries to lecture us constantly on Trump and all
Speaker 1: of his associates, let's all just remember that they refuse,
Speaker 1: they refuse to say that enough is enough of Ara Con.
Speaker 1: We'll be right back. Welcome to our three of the
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show. My friends, Oh campus crazies, you are
Speaker 1: the gift that keeps on giving to conservative commentary. You
Speaker 1: are bizarre, you are dangerous in your ideology, but you
Speaker 1: are also entertaining at the same time. Let's get into
Speaker 1: some of the latest free speech wars on campus here.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you're familiar with there. She it
Speaker 1: does some very good work. A conservative named Christina hoff
Speaker 1: Summers she's a conservative academic, and she was supposed to
Speaker 1: give a speech out at Lewis and Clark Law School,
Speaker 1: which is in Oregon. And this is how so she
Speaker 1: was invited by the school and people showed up during
Speaker 1: her speech. Instead of just letting her speak, they tried
Speaker 1: to play music to drown her out. So they actively
Speaker 1: shut down speech. They don't believe in counter argument or
Speaker 1: counter speech. They think it's just you want to speak,
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna y'all over ya. That's how they think
Speaker 1: they get their points across. They don't understand how childish
Speaker 1: this seems too well adjusted adults. But they started chanting
Speaker 1: some stuff like it is gone. Which side are friends are?
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's pretty lame. It's pretty pathetic. And
Speaker 1: you can also tell they're a grand total of about
Speaker 1: ten of these protesters there, and these are you know,
Speaker 1: I wish we had a better term for them. People
Speaker 1: call them, people call them, you know, a bunch of
Speaker 1: filthy hippies. But they're not hippies. Hippies a kind of
Speaker 1: specific thing. They're not hippies. They're certainly not hipsters. I
Speaker 1: don't know what we can call them other than leftist agitators,
Speaker 1: but that sounds like um reading from a poly Si manual,
Speaker 1: so it's not really a great term. Um. You can
Speaker 1: call them useful any it's any number of things. But
Speaker 1: their chance were about Christina haf Summers being a fascist.
Speaker 1: And for those of you who are wondering, how could
Speaker 1: a an academic like miss Summers be called the ashes?
Speaker 1: What is her big problem? She explains that there's no
Speaker 1: such thing as campus rape culture, that it's a myth,
Speaker 1: which it is, which all the numbers show, which anybody
Speaker 1: who spent any time on a college campus will tell
Speaker 1: you is is also just obvious. There's no rape culture.
Speaker 1: If anything, there are now generations of young men who
Speaker 1: are terrified at retroactive removal of consent, which is something
Speaker 1: that the really avant garde, the real zeitgeisty feminists, the
Speaker 1: hardcore feminists, believe that, you know, maybe consent isn't even
Speaker 1: a temporal issue. It's just consent could be withdrawn even
Speaker 1: after the fact, which is crazy, I know, but they're crazy.
Speaker 1: They say whacko stuff, and they're saying crazy stuff here. Oh.
Speaker 1: She also says there's no wage gap, gender wage gap,
Speaker 1: which is true. By the way, this is an aside.
Speaker 1: If you remember, we had Professor Peterson on here a
Speaker 1: while ago his book What Twelve Rules for Living in
Speaker 1: an Antidote to Chaos done very very well. We had
Speaker 1: him on here during his book tour, and he debated
Speaker 1: this British woman who's one of these babyc presenters who
Speaker 1: talks like this, and other than the fact that she
Speaker 1: talks like this, it's not clear at all that she's
Speaker 1: read a book or can add or do basic subtraction
Speaker 1: or multiplication tables. It strikes me that despite her accent,
Speaker 1: she's a complete and utter moron, but she sounds like this.
Speaker 1: So she gets to be on television and she was
Speaker 1: very upset about the wage gap, and she went after Peterson,
Speaker 1: are you telling me there's no wage gap? And he's like, yes,
Speaker 1: so you're saying women aren't as smart as men, and
Speaker 1: he's like, no, that's that's not what I'm saying. Actually,
Speaker 1: that never did I say that? Right? She ended up
Speaker 1: turning just as a follow on that story about the
Speaker 1: wage gap. She turned herself into the victim because she
Speaker 1: was so annihilated online by anybody with more than two
Speaker 1: brain cells who are like, you keep asking this guy
Speaker 1: questions implying he said things he didn't say. You imbecile,
Speaker 1: what that you actually learn how to do an interview?
Speaker 1: And now she's I'm being attacked because of my gender,
Speaker 1: being attacked because you're an overpaid buffoon. But that describes
Speaker 1: most television presenters, at least in England. They have the
Speaker 1: truth in advertising to call most of these people news readers,
Speaker 1: because that is in fact what they're doing. They have
Speaker 1: all the intellectual gifts of an actor or somebody who's
Speaker 1: pitching you toothpaste or sham Wow's one of my favorite products.
Speaker 1: We needn't get sham wows back. I want to I
Speaker 1: want sham Wow as a sponsor because I'd be the
Speaker 1: new sham Wow guy. But back to, uh, what's going
Speaker 1: on here out in Oregon? So she's getting shouted down here?
Speaker 1: And as if that's not bad enough, Christina Hoff summers
Speaker 1: because she says there's no rape culture, because she says
Speaker 1: the wage gap is a myth, which it quite obviously is. Otherwise,
Speaker 1: why not just only hire women for your company? Would
Speaker 1: save you sevent The single biggest cost that any business
Speaker 1: has for the well, the most businesses have is payroll.
Speaker 1: You could save seventeen percent over your competitors. I think
Speaker 1: you'd probably take it right. The wage gap is a
Speaker 1: menth it's a lie, but it is popular. In fact,
Speaker 1: it's even popular among some conservatives for saying that though
Speaker 1: Miss Summers is denounced shouted down for being a fascist,
Speaker 1: and these students, I think that they have a right
Speaker 1: to this is the We've seen the storyline play out
Speaker 1: time and again. We've had on Um, the author of
Speaker 1: the Bell Curve, who was attacked at Middlebury, including a
Speaker 1: female professor with him, who was physically attacked while he
Speaker 1: was at Middlebury College to give a speech. Um. We've
Speaker 1: seen this with uh this. I think it was like
Speaker 1: six thousand dollars they spent on a Ben Shapiro speech
Speaker 1: security a while back. Because such loons with anti fall.
Speaker 1: The anti FI didn't last all that long, did it.
Speaker 1: Antifa was supposed to be kind of a a cool
Speaker 1: resist tints thing, and sure enough it did not last
Speaker 1: very long at all. Antifa did not stay with where
Speaker 1: it is. Look at that right in the Naked time
Speaker 1: one more time, one more time, one of Trump's greatest
Speaker 1: hits right there, and Eva didn't last very long. But
Speaker 1: you'd think that the students on this campus. The hashtag
Speaker 1: resistance are bad, but you know it's even worse. In
Speaker 1: this video, a dean of diversity, an employee of the school,
Speaker 1: comes up to Christina hof Summers and says the following
Speaker 1: and only said, yes, show Now the question is why
Speaker 1: would you notice there there trying to drown her out
Speaker 1: with playing music. There there's they're making noise during her
Speaker 1: speech that you can't hear her speech. This is how
Speaker 1: now college kids, I mean kids, young adults in college
Speaker 1: think that they're supposed to be debating. But a dean
Speaker 1: of diversity approached her and asked her to speed it
Speaker 1: up and finish up and take questions. So now even
Speaker 1: the college employees are very much a part of the problem.
Speaker 1: They are enablers and defenders of this aggressive anti intellectualism,
Speaker 1: which is what's going on in these campuses. These have
Speaker 1: now become and when I say now become, we're just
Speaker 1: seeing them for what they are. It's decades in the making.
Speaker 1: It goes all the way back. Go go watch PCU.
Speaker 1: I know I've said this before, Go watch it though
Speaker 1: it still stands up. Great movie, like a fun good movie.
Speaker 1: And you know, I don't even know if you get
Speaker 1: o with making it today. I think there would be
Speaker 1: objections to making PCU today, which is really just a
Speaker 1: statement of how far things have gone in the wrong direction.
Speaker 1: Politically correct University was a harbinger of things to come.
Speaker 1: But the hot summer speech she gets shouted down, and
Speaker 1: then the dean comes in and tells her, hey, can
Speaker 1: you speed it up and take questions because we gotta
Speaker 1: get you. We gotta get you out of here. What
Speaker 1: is a dean of diversity anyway? You know, sometimes I
Speaker 1: think I want to cease being a useful person who
Speaker 1: at least tries to bring information and entertainment to those
Speaker 1: who are willing to give me the honor and pleasure
Speaker 1: of their time. Sometimes I figure, you know, I just
Speaker 1: want to get the highest paid, lowest impact job possible.
Speaker 1: I want to be ahead of diversity for someplace. That
Speaker 1: sounds great for a university, be the chief of diversity.
Speaker 1: What does that mean? I get to give speeches about
Speaker 1: how we need to give more diversity? Well, what are
Speaker 1: your job metrics? Can't be quotas. Quotas are legal, So
Speaker 1: what do you do there? The answer is, whenever somebody
Speaker 1: asks you do we need more diversity? You say yes,
Speaker 1: when everyone says, have we achieved our diversity goals? You say, no,
Speaker 1: what do we need more of diversity? That's your job
Speaker 1: and people get paid for this. Michelle Obama, everybody, don't
Speaker 1: ever forget it. Three hundred thousand dollars a year to
Speaker 1: be a diversity chief of a public hospital while Barack
Speaker 1: Obama was a state center. True story. And it's like
Speaker 1: two seventy five k. Yeah, the kind of job you
Speaker 1: can get with the politically connected husband at the time.
Speaker 1: It's an amazing gig to seventy five k diversity. I
Speaker 1: do that in a heartbeat. I just sell out man,
Speaker 1: to sell out all my principles for the cat for
Speaker 1: the cold hard cash. Just kidding. I'm a warrior for
Speaker 1: truth and freedom. We're gonna hit a quick break. I'll
Speaker 1: be right back. This is gonna be in the file
Speaker 1: for a Sign of the Times. And this is not
Speaker 1: supposed to be a play on words, but it comes
Speaker 1: from the New York Times. Dorms for adults, my friends,
Speaker 1: that is a new trend that is is becoming a
Speaker 1: real thing in major city thes like San Francisco. Housing
Speaker 1: in some of these areas, like the Bay Area, has
Speaker 1: become so overpriced has become so difficult to uh, so
Speaker 1: difficult to afford for we're talking about for working professionals here,
Speaker 1: for teachers, bookstore managers, lounge musicians, copywriters, merchandise planners. Uh
Speaker 1: they are moving into dorms. Now, one thing about this
Speaker 1: um for a lot of you, I know you're gonna say,
Speaker 1: why don't people just move? But there is a big
Speaker 1: issue in this country with opportunity being consolidated in certain
Speaker 1: areas of the country, meaning jobs are much and much
Speaker 1: greater abundance in some places than they are and others.
Speaker 1: It also, and this is just a random aside, seems
Speaker 1: a little counterintuitive to me. That's something that should be
Speaker 1: as decentralized as Silicon Valley software planning, right, which doesn't
Speaker 1: you can be anywhere, right, It's the whole notion of
Speaker 1: being able to work, from being able to work effectively
Speaker 1: from home and connectivity and all this Silicon Valley should
Speaker 1: be on the forefront of it. And yet proximity the valley,
Speaker 1: as it's called, a different valley than the valley in
Speaker 1: l A Silicon valley is very you know, oh well,
Speaker 1: who's going to do our I p O of the
Speaker 1: billion dollars social media app, whereas the valley outside of
Speaker 1: la is like, hey, who wants to go surfing bro um,
Speaker 1: At least that's what I've been led to believe by movies.
Speaker 1: The valley near l A is like the San Fern
Speaker 1: San Fernando Valley, I think is what it's technically called.
Speaker 1: That's out of l A. Right, that sounds right. I
Speaker 1: don't know l A very well, and there spend more
Speaker 1: time out there. But nonetheless, you would think that there
Speaker 1: could be a decentralization of Silicon Valley. And yet people
Speaker 1: are there. Right, if you want to work for Google,
Speaker 1: you want to work for these places. They have other campuses,
Speaker 1: but the most jobs are there in New York City.
Speaker 1: People send any book why can't you why? Why why
Speaker 1: don't you do your job and do it somewhere else? Right?
Speaker 1: And I say it, then, well, you know, I maybe
Speaker 1: could work for Premiere Radio Network somewhere else in the country. Um,
Speaker 1: so it's possible. But the headquarters is here in New
Speaker 1: York City. So the people that make decisions, the bosses corporate,
Speaker 1: they're all here in New York City. And Fox News
Speaker 1: is here in New York City, CNN is here in
Speaker 1: New York City, all the different newspapers I could think of,
Speaker 1: or here in New York City, if you're gonna be
Speaker 1: in the news and analysis business, you are just frankly
Speaker 1: at a disadvantage if you're not in New York City
Speaker 1: or in Washington, d c. Full stop. And so that
Speaker 1: means that there are constraints in place. There are pressures,
Speaker 1: better way to say it than that there are pressures
Speaker 1: in place on the housing market that just get to
Speaker 1: the crazy level such that now we've got people in
Speaker 1: San Francisco who are my age who are living in
Speaker 1: straight up dorm situations. So you've got people in their
Speaker 1: thirties and their forties who have a bedroom, um, but
Speaker 1: they share a kitchen, they with strangers, they jerk kitchen,
Speaker 1: and they share a living room. And you know, I
Speaker 1: I understand why this would happen. It's actually good business
Speaker 1: for some of the property owners that are doing it. Um,
Speaker 1: they have a wait list. Let me tell you about
Speaker 1: this Star City, which is one of these developers in
Speaker 1: San Francisco, has opened three properties with thirty six units.
Speaker 1: It has nine more in development and a wait list
Speaker 1: of eight thousand people. So there's clearly a market for
Speaker 1: it right. There's a market for it, and people get
Speaker 1: a bedroom. Those of you who live in other parts
Speaker 1: of America that aren't that aren't New York City, San Francisco,
Speaker 1: a few other places. You're gonna laugh at this, but
Speaker 1: you got a bedroom of a hundred and thirty square feet.
Speaker 1: That is not a huge private space to have thirty
Speaker 1: square feet you're talking and here that's um that's that's
Speaker 1: in full size bed plus plus small. I kea addresser territory,
Speaker 1: and trust me, I know I have lived in apartments
Speaker 1: here in New York. Man, I should just tell you,
Speaker 1: guys some of the places that I lived. I've had, uh,
Speaker 1: multiple roommates. I've lived in gosh, at this point, four
Speaker 1: or five different places in New York City. On my own,
Speaker 1: I've had roommates, have had tiny studio apartments. I've dealt
Speaker 1: with all all kinds of all kinds of craziness over
Speaker 1: the years of these apartments. But I was in one
Speaker 1: place I remember where you actually couldn't You couldn't open
Speaker 1: the door and get to the closet at the same
Speaker 1: time because it would cut off your only pathway. And
Speaker 1: it wasn't really a closet. It was kind of a dresser.
Speaker 1: So the stories you hear about how tough it is
Speaker 1: in New York are all true. And if you watch
Speaker 1: the show Friends or any of that stuff, you see
Speaker 1: these expansive apartments that are supposed to be in friendly
Speaker 1: areas of New York City, but they have rent control
Speaker 1: on them. Yeah. Right, that is fantasy land stuff. We
Speaker 1: are packed in like sorry deans here. Um, And and
Speaker 1: that's happening in San Francisco. But you're seeing this adult dorms.
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna take off. You're to see more
Speaker 1: and more of this communal living situations, essentially boarding houses
Speaker 1: for adults. Um, this is gonna happen in cities because
Speaker 1: it's just crazy. It's crazy what's happening in New York. Uh.
Speaker 1: San Francisco, LA is not as bad. It's much more
Speaker 1: spread out. There's more places too. I've looked at the
Speaker 1: housing market there a lot about maybe spending a lot
Speaker 1: of time out there. Uh, not nearly as about Chicago.
Speaker 1: The housing markets not nearly as tight. But New York,
Speaker 1: San Francisco and increasingly Washington, d C. It is rough.
Speaker 1: So there's a part of the things to be kind
Speaker 1: of fun, of course, right, if for for at least
Speaker 1: some period of time, you know, you get to meet
Speaker 1: your roommates, you'll get But you know, I like my
Speaker 1: space now, and by space I just mean some some
Speaker 1: semblance of privacy, because I don't really have much of
Speaker 1: the way of space. So then I expect this coming
Speaker 1: soon to a an urban area near you. Dorms for adults.
Speaker 1: I wonder if we're gonna have black lights and tiki
Speaker 1: torches and you know what's people listening? Tiki torches now
Speaker 1: is like a whole other connotation because of lava lamps,
Speaker 1: Thank you. Tiki Georges are a college thing, all right,
Speaker 1: has nothing to do with a bunch of bad people
Speaker 1: somewhere else. Lava lamps, tiki torches, um, you know, put
Speaker 1: like some kind of blanket on the wall that's a decoration.
Speaker 1: What's that called black light posters? Thank you? Oh phuton.
Speaker 1: I have not met a lot of adults who have phutons,
Speaker 1: at least the way that we did in college, which
Speaker 1: was like a metal contraption with some thin some thin
Speaker 1: uh make believe mattress on it. I mean certainly not
Speaker 1: actually a mattress. But I wonder if it's if they're
Speaker 1: really going to lean into it. You know, I will
Speaker 1: tell you that, um My, my college dorm room was
Speaker 1: was adorned with all of the above. Uh, I definitely
Speaker 1: was somebody. We had black light, it's we had phutons, obviously,
Speaker 1: a giant television. I live with three roommates for at
Speaker 1: least part of my college experience. That's what's happening now, folks.
Speaker 1: That's what's gonna go on because millennials now, we're also
Speaker 1: boxed out of the housing market. So we've got two options. Basically,
Speaker 1: we can either shack up with each other do this
Speaker 1: communal roommate situation, or stay with mom and dad. Hey,
Speaker 1: mom and Dad, can we get the basement refinished so
Speaker 1: I can just stay forever. I just love you guys
Speaker 1: so much and I never want to move out. I
Speaker 1: don't even have to pay utilities. Yeah, that's the millennials, lament,
Speaker 1: my friend. We'll be right back a team. It's our
Speaker 1: last segment of the day here in the Freedom Humbet.
Speaker 1: Before I get into all the ladies, let me just
Speaker 1: say that I saw some some news, but I found
Speaker 1: quite a bit troubling. So there's this dating app out
Speaker 1: there that is called Bumble and the way Bumble functions
Speaker 1: is that only the ladies on the app get to
Speaker 1: make the first move, so you can be on there,
Speaker 1: but the lady in question has to be the one
Speaker 1: that says it's up or hey, which is usually how
Speaker 1: as I understand these things start, or hi, how are you?
Speaker 1: If you want to seem like you're really friendly. But
Speaker 1: they've decided to get in on the political action here
Speaker 1: by making a determination for the app going forward, an
Speaker 1: act of censorship, if you will, based upon a political
Speaker 1: political feeling in the moment, and that is that you
Speaker 1: will no longer be able to have a photo of
Speaker 1: yourself on a bumble app with a firearm. I'm assuming
Speaker 1: mostly for guys, but there are ladies out there who
Speaker 1: also like to pose with their firearms, so that is
Speaker 1: now forbidden. This is a a cultural slapdown of those
Speaker 1: who would pose with firearms on a dating app. I
Speaker 1: will say, as soon as I saw the headline, I thought, oh,
Speaker 1: they better make a carve out, and yes they did.
Speaker 1: There is in fact a carve out for military and
Speaker 1: law enforcement. So if you're in your police uniform or
Speaker 1: you're in your b d us and you know you've
Speaker 1: got a rifle or whatever you're that, that's not gonna
Speaker 1: get you banned. But if you're just somebody that's like, hey,
Speaker 1: I like my a R fIF team with the EO
Speaker 1: tech site and the four grip and the Nope, you
Speaker 1: cannot take a photo of yourself and put that up
Speaker 1: on your dating app. And I looked for the other
Speaker 1: obvious exception of this that one would expect, namely, what
Speaker 1: if you're a duck hunter. Are we really now going
Speaker 1: to see somebody who is posting a photo up on
Speaker 1: a dating app and has, you know, reflective, reflective orange
Speaker 1: vest on, an orange hat in duck hunting sea reason,
Speaker 1: and the rest of him is camouflage with a double
Speaker 1: barrel shotgun Elma flood style, and you're gonna I know,
Speaker 1: very few people actually hunt with those these days. Usually
Speaker 1: people have a semi auto shotgun. But nonetheless, actually, I
Speaker 1: don't know what the numbers are on MAT. I've I've
Speaker 1: gone shooting with some double barrel in my day. Actually,
Speaker 1: plenty of double barrel if you're doing skeet shooting, So
Speaker 1: strike that comment from the record. Nonetheless, if you're out
Speaker 1: there duck hunting, pheasant hunting, grouse hunting, uh, I don't know,
Speaker 1: whatever other kind of hunting you've got in mind, squirrel hunting.
Speaker 1: For those of you who are so inclined, you could
Speaker 1: now get banned from the Bumble dating app, which I'm
Speaker 1: sure very few of you, very few of you have
Speaker 1: even heard about, and even a few of fewer of
Speaker 1: you care about. But I just want to know this
Speaker 1: is how it happens, folks. The culture dictates the politics
Speaker 1: down the line, and if the culture starts to become
Speaker 1: too comfortable with ostracizing second amend men, supporters, proponents, including
Speaker 1: sports shooters, there was nothing about. You know, you could
Speaker 1: be somebody now who is on the Olympic shooting team,
Speaker 1: and technically speaking, Bumble will kick you off the app
Speaker 1: if you're you know, standing up there with your silver medal,
Speaker 1: because I mean gold sounds like it's really hard to get,
Speaker 1: but silver, let's just say, for the purposes of our story,
Speaker 1: here be up there with a silver medal, and you
Speaker 1: will not be allowed if you have your shotgun in
Speaker 1: your hands, you'll not be allowed to stay on the app.
Speaker 1: I just I find this distressing because you're gonna see
Speaker 1: a lot more of this. I know. Walmart's also standing
Speaker 1: behind its previous decision to raise the age limit and
Speaker 1: change some of what it's willing to sell people in
Speaker 1: the area of firearms and ammunition. But once it comes
Speaker 1: into the culture that being a gun owner, we're just
Speaker 1: gonna see a bifurcation, a further separation whereby you now
Speaker 1: have gun ownership as a make or break thing on
Speaker 1: a date. You know, there are very few things for
Speaker 1: me that I feel like our are a habit or
Speaker 1: a belief that right away our a deal breaker or
Speaker 1: would have been a deal breaker when I was a
Speaker 1: single man out on the scene dating. Now, I'm willing
Speaker 1: to bet there'll be plenty of young women, impressionable millennials
Speaker 1: among them, predominantly actually impressionable millennials, who we're gonna say,
Speaker 1: you know, if you if you're somebody who supports firearms,
Speaker 1: I just can't continue on this date with you, sir,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. And when you say, well, that's crazy, they'll say,
Speaker 1: well it's bumble. Bumble has a policy as you know
Speaker 1: about this, other dating apps may follow suit. And I
Speaker 1: just want to note that this is yet another instance
Speaker 1: of they think they're they think they're standing up against
Speaker 1: violence in the culture, or mass shootings, or I don't
Speaker 1: even know what they really think they're doing, because this
Speaker 1: is just crazy. But the cultural ramification subdecisions like this
Speaker 1: should not be underestimated. There will be more of this.
Speaker 1: It will be personal, it will be personalized such that
Speaker 1: if you're someone who wants to, you know, take photos
Speaker 1: with your firearms, you're gonna be considered a bad human
Speaker 1: being and they're going to change the way that we
Speaker 1: interact with each other based on all this. But duck
Speaker 1: hunters need love to, folks. Wank wank. Duck hunters need
Speaker 1: love to. I don't know why bumbles being so mean
Speaker 1: and so nasty. But nonetheless, oh, let me, I actually jumped.
Speaker 1: I jumped to the gun before part of the expression
Speaker 1: We're gonna get into some roll call after this break
Speaker 1: coming up here in just a second, to stay with me.
Speaker 1: Welcome back, folks. As promised, we are about to get
Speaker 1: into roll call. I just wanted to note that as
Speaker 1: we went into the break, there my man Brandon, who
Speaker 1: is running the board today. Um, we've got Brandon and
Speaker 1: Mike here in the freedom with me, producer Mike and
Speaker 1: producer Brandon. But Brandon told with it he has in
Speaker 1: fact had some success on Bumble we could say that
Speaker 1: he is a he has been a user of Bumble
Speaker 1: in the past, and so it's and it can work
Speaker 1: out sometimes, right buddy, Yeah, I guess there are plenty
Speaker 1: of fish in the sea and just casting that line
Speaker 1: and see, you know that used to be a dating
Speaker 1: gap as well, plenty of fish. I did not like.
Speaker 1: I tried it, did not like the interface, didn't like that,
Speaker 1: didn't like the interface on that. But but Bumble gets
Speaker 1: it done. Yeah, it's a little less creepy than than
Speaker 1: tender letter creeps out there, so it gives it makes
Speaker 1: women feel more safe, I think. But I thought it
Speaker 1: was interesting you told me in the break as well.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of of people who put all in
Speaker 1: their profiles now Trumpsters swipe left. And while I am
Speaker 1: not a supporter per se, I don't want to eliminate.
Speaker 1: I would date a Trump supporter, but like a lot
Speaker 1: of qualities about her or great, I wouldn't use that
Speaker 1: as you know, a deal breaker right away. So yes,
Speaker 1: as for someone who's not a supporter to have seen
Speaker 1: a lot of that here in New York City, yeah,
Speaker 1: I can imagine in New York It's there's a lot
Speaker 1: of that going on. But don't worry, folks, trumpters, trump trumpsters,
Speaker 1: swipe right here in the Freedom Pod. You're in safe company.
Speaker 1: And with that, my friend Brandon please hit roll call. Hey,
Speaker 1: Team Buck, it's time for roll call bu bu Buck. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm out at the party with all
Speaker 1: of you, and that's about as hip as I'm gonna
Speaker 1: get today. So we got uh coming up in roll call.
Speaker 1: By the way, this is where we go into our
Speaker 1: Facebook inbox for the show. Also on because we've got
Speaker 1: some some new stations that have just joined our affiliate
Speaker 1: network here in the last week or so. So those
Speaker 1: of you who are new to the Freedom Hunt, I
Speaker 1: want to tell you how this goes. Facebook dot com
Speaker 1: slash buck Sex and you can send a message there.
Speaker 1: We here in the Hut get that message and we
Speaker 1: try to read through as many as we can. On air,
Speaker 1: I read everything that comes into that inbox. Also official
Speaker 1: Team Buck at gmail dot com. If you ever need
Speaker 1: to get me some info, you can just send it
Speaker 1: to me their old school email style. And any of
Speaker 1: you on Twitter at Buck Sexton. I tweet, not not
Speaker 1: obsessively like many of my media pears, but I got
Speaker 1: tweet here and there and you can also send me
Speaker 1: your thoughts there. It's always nice when one or two
Speaker 1: members of Team Bucks see me on Fox News and
Speaker 1: they're like, good job Buck, trust me. I appreciate it.
Speaker 1: Usually I finish and I'm like, what, what is the
Speaker 1: meaning of life? I'm just doing all this TV? But
Speaker 1: what is really going on with my day? And it's
Speaker 1: always nice to get a little picked me up from
Speaker 1: from a member of the team. So with that roll call,
Speaker 1: here we are. We got first up here, Michael, who's
Speaker 1: being a little salty. Argyle sweaters will never be stylish
Speaker 1: unless you live in Scotland. Argyles sucks are okay because
Speaker 1: they're largely hidden. For most of my life, by the way,
Speaker 1: I refused to wear hats. They gave me a headache
Speaker 1: and messed up my hair. Plus, when you have a
Speaker 1: size seven and three quarters head, it's hard to find
Speaker 1: a hat that fits. Uh well, let me tell you,
Speaker 1: my friend, Um, I have the same problem. Hats just
Speaker 1: don't fit my head. And I've gone through this so
Speaker 1: many times, and I've had so many adults, especially in
Speaker 1: my youth and my adolescence, try to just squeeze a
Speaker 1: baseball cap on the top of my head. And I
Speaker 1: feel like they were just, you know, they were just
Speaker 1: harshing my mellow man, Like they just weren't really understanding
Speaker 1: that the craniums huge. It's just too big. You can't
Speaker 1: it is like spot nick. It could explode at any moment.
Speaker 1: You can't try to hold it down. You cannot hat
Speaker 1: this cranium. You can only hope to contain it, or
Speaker 1: something like that. So that's where I go with that.
Speaker 1: Next up here we've got our friend Duke. Duke is
Speaker 1: writing me the following, hold on here we where did
Speaker 1: it go? What where did it go? Here we go?
Speaker 1: I will embrace the dad Bob quote buck buck buck
Speaker 1: note to miss Molly. Be afraid, be very afraid, totally
Speaker 1: off the rails, my friend, give Miss Molly my phone number. Hey, Duke,
Speaker 1: back off, none of that, none of that stuff. You know.
Speaker 1: It's look, I agree, dad, body is totally acceptable when
Speaker 1: you're a dad. I am not yet a dad, therefore
Speaker 1: I probably should I don't get into the gym and
Speaker 1: do some of these things. Um I did. I actually
Speaker 1: did leg day on Sunday, and I'm so sore. My
Speaker 1: legs hurt so much now after all of my lifting
Speaker 1: and stretching and heavy stuff. It was very rough. Um,
Speaker 1: leg day is no fun. But I'm not yet at
Speaker 1: a point where you've got to be really jacked before
Speaker 1: you can start posting memes like leg Day. I'm just
Speaker 1: crying all over the place. Anyway, back to the roll
Speaker 1: call here, Mary, Oh wow, Mary, you have written me
Speaker 1: a lot um so thank you for that. I cannot
Speaker 1: get into this on the air because it's an essay,
Speaker 1: but the essays appreciate and I will read it in
Speaker 1: full when I am done here, So let me get
Speaker 1: I will get to that all right. Next up, Logan,
Speaker 1: Logan rights, you have to finish get out. It's not
Speaker 1: about what you think it is at all. It's written
Speaker 1: to be a commentary about white liberals worshiping being black Logan.
Speaker 1: I mean, I I got through two thirds of the
Speaker 1: movie and thought it was terrible. So the last third
Speaker 1: of it can't make it a good movie. It maybe
Speaker 1: would make it a not absolutely atrocious movie. So I
Speaker 1: will consider going back just so I can say that
Speaker 1: I finished it, so that I can trash it in
Speaker 1: in uh, in good faith, good conscience, and with full
Speaker 1: knowledge of of all the facts. So that's what I
Speaker 1: think is gonna that's what I think we got there. Um,
Speaker 1: but thank you Logan for your thoughts. Steve is Next up,
Speaker 1: um Buck shields high best movie that did not receive
Speaker 1: any Academy awards or nominations. Wind River great movie with
Speaker 1: a phenomenal message and two wicked shootouts. An intense movie
Speaker 1: worth renting. Those scenes are right up there with the
Speaker 1: movie heat. Um. I completely agree. I've talked about wind
Speaker 1: River here on the show. I thought it was very
Speaker 1: well done. I was impressed. The younger sister of the
Speaker 1: Mary Kate Ashley Olsen Twins, plays the main female lead
Speaker 1: in the movie, and I think does quite a good job.
Speaker 1: I think Jeremy Renner also does a very good job.
Speaker 1: But yes, I liked I liked wind River, and I
Speaker 1: would recommend it to people for sure. Next up, he
Speaker 1: also writes here, this is from Steve Stale. I haven't
Speaker 1: tried much Vietnamese food. Might you post a suggestion of
Speaker 1: what you would suggest as starting and then slightly more
Speaker 1: complicated food or what you like and why as best
Speaker 1: as words can describe food. I love your show, Professor Buck.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much, Steve in terms of starting out
Speaker 1: being in terms of like you know, just getting into it,
Speaker 1: you know, highly ranked amateur Vietnamese food. I would say
Speaker 1: anything that involves the glass noodles is a pretty good
Speaker 1: way to start. Also, they have a rice pancake. I
Speaker 1: do not even know, I do not even know how
Speaker 1: to pronounce it badly, but there's a rice pancake that
Speaker 1: they fill with stuff that's amazing, and so I would
Speaker 1: very much recommend that, you know what, I'll have to
Speaker 1: do a little research. The most famous dishes is fu
Speaker 1: which is spelled pho. That's a beef It's a sliced
Speaker 1: beef soup. Essentially, it's kind of a cross between a
Speaker 1: soup and a stew. It's very, very delicious and on
Speaker 1: a cold day, it's one of the best things I
Speaker 1: think you could you could find to eat. Um. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll look for some stuff. They're big into crispy spring rolls,
Speaker 1: so that's pretty standard. You can get into that. Uh
Speaker 1: sometimes frog legs because there's that French influence. Remember it
Speaker 1: was French Indo China. There's a French culinary influence in
Speaker 1: viet Um. But I'm I really think Vietnamese Vietnamese food
Speaker 1: and Vietnamese culture it's really interesting. Um, I'm a I'm
Speaker 1: a proponent of it. I'm a fan of checking it
Speaker 1: out because it's quite different from other things that you
Speaker 1: will experience and food wise, I'd go as far as
Speaker 1: say it's my favorite Asian food, which is saying a lot,
Speaker 1: because I love Indian food. I used to love Chinese food.
Speaker 1: But there's too much soy sauce in it, and soy sauce,
Speaker 1: as many of you listen to the show, no, should
Speaker 1: be called wheat sauce because the primary ingredient after water
Speaker 1: is in fact wheat, and wheat has gluten, so it's
Speaker 1: like pouring liquid gluten all over my food. So I
Speaker 1: can't have soy sauce. They have gluten free soy sauce.
Speaker 1: I know. I have it in my fridge. It's pretty good.
Speaker 1: In fact, you can't tell the difference. Kayala Marie is
Speaker 1: next up here. Hey Buck, I love your show. See
Speaker 1: Kala pays attention because I said, if you want me
Speaker 1: to read your thick on air, best I can do
Speaker 1: is start with love your show or great stuff or whatever.
Speaker 1: People start off like you face. That's usually not going
Speaker 1: to get me to read it on the air. Although
Speaker 1: I do this live so don't know if. Sometimes I
Speaker 1: stumble into a message and I'm like, oh, this person
