WEBVTT - WALL... NOW! 0:00:10.960 --> 0:00:15.200 You are entering the freedom hunt. President Trump says a 0:00:15.400 --> 0:00:19.320 government shutdown maybe a good idea because we got a 0:00:19.400 --> 0:00:21.640 wall that needs to be built and we shouldn't wait 0:00:21.640 --> 0:00:24.160 and see what happens in that mid term election. Do 0:00:24.320 --> 0:00:28.800 Republicans have the backbone to back him on this one? Plus, 0:00:29.240 --> 0:00:32.640 we've seen what the price tag would be for Medicare 0:00:32.760 --> 0:00:36.520 for all. The short version is, wow, that would be expensive. 0:00:36.560 --> 0:00:38.440 It would created the U s economy, and it would 0:00:38.479 --> 0:00:42.600 turn us into a shadow of our former selves economically. 0:00:43.040 --> 0:00:45.400 But it sounds cool when Bernie Sanders and others bring 0:00:45.400 --> 0:00:47.280 it up right. We'll get into that and so much 0:00:47.320 --> 0:00:50.559 more coming up on The Buck Sexton Show. This is 0:00:50.640 --> 0:00:53.840 the Buck Sexton Show, where the mission or mission is 0:00:53.880 --> 0:01:01.480 to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. Magnormous day, American, 0:01:01.600 --> 0:01:12.840 You're a great American Again the buck Sexton Show begins. 0:01:12.880 --> 0:01:16.960 My administration is working hard to pass border security legislation, 0:01:17.600 --> 0:01:23.280 improve vetting, and establish a merit based immigration system, which 0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:30.280 the United States needs very very importantly, very badly as 0:01:30.319 --> 0:01:34.800 far as the border is concerned, and personally, if we 0:01:34.840 --> 0:01:40.120 don't get border security after many many years of talk 0:01:40.959 --> 0:01:44.520 within the United States, I would have no problem doing 0:01:44.520 --> 0:01:50.440 a shutdown. It's time we had proper border security with 0:01:50.560 --> 0:01:53.520 a laughing stock of the world. We have the worst 0:01:54.280 --> 0:01:59.760 immigration laws anywhere in the world. Welcome to the box 0:01:59.760 --> 0:02:03.880 Acts and show everybody here there the president there making 0:02:03.960 --> 0:02:07.440 clear what the fight is going to be going forward. 0:02:08.680 --> 0:02:10.960 He is saying that a shutdown is not something that 0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:15.680 Republicans should shy away from. That a shutdown so that 0:02:15.720 --> 0:02:18.079 we can finally get border funding and a change to 0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:23.960 border security and laws around immigration is necessary. I gotta 0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:28.720 tell you. If not now, when we always hear, we 0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:32.760 always hear about the shutdown is gonna come the next time. No, oh, 0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:34.440 now is not the time. We got an election now, 0:02:34.440 --> 0:02:39.160 this is this is the McConnell, this is the establishment refrain. 0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:44.120 It just gets repeated over and over again. No, no no, 0:02:44.280 --> 0:02:46.640 let's not do the shutdown now. Republicans always get blamed 0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:48.520 for a shutdown. You know what I think that is, 0:02:49.639 --> 0:02:51.320 that's a story that we hear from the media that 0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:55.480 we should we should at least question, if not discard. 0:02:56.040 --> 0:02:58.919 I don't buy it. I don't buy it. I don't 0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:01.320 think that it is in act the case that Republicans 0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:03.760 would get blamed the media is gonna say we get 0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:07.160 blamed for shutdown. The media also said that Helsinki that 0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:09.679 Trump's meeting with Putin was such a disaster that his 0:03:09.760 --> 0:03:13.120 presidency would never recover. And you know, does don't even 0:03:13.160 --> 0:03:17.919 remember Helsinki, did any anyone even have you know, any 0:03:17.960 --> 0:03:19.799 any part of that that they look at now and 0:03:19.840 --> 0:03:21.880 they say, oh my gosh, how could Trump have been 0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:26.440 such a such a savage. I think it all went fine, actually, 0:03:26.600 --> 0:03:29.160 and it wasn't great. The optics of it weren't amazing, 0:03:29.200 --> 0:03:33.960 but nothing really happened, and we've all moved on from it, 0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:37.760 and maybe the policies he discussed with Putin were constructive 0:03:38.080 --> 0:03:40.480 and helpful in their own way. No, we we just 0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:43.040 we just don't really know yet. But they said that was, 0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:45.880 oh my gosh, that was the worst thing that had 0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:47.840 ever that had ever happened. I mean, that was some 0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:53.280 that was some next level of of terrible. And looking 0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:57.280 now at what they're saying about a shutdown, I just 0:03:57.320 --> 0:03:59.560 have to I just want to put it out there, folks, 0:03:59.760 --> 0:04:02.640 are we're really gonna take advice from the other side. 0:04:04.400 --> 0:04:08.400 You know, what happens if the Democrats take the House 0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:12.600 starting in all we you know, we'll have all this 0:04:12.640 --> 0:04:15.360 stuff on impeachment and that'll suck up all the auction 0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:17.760 in the room. If you want very little to get 0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:23.680 accomplished between now and President Trump's reelection effort. At least 0:04:23.720 --> 0:04:25.719 from a congressional point of view, Trump can still do 0:04:25.760 --> 0:04:27.599 what he does. But from a congressional point of view, 0:04:28.920 --> 0:04:32.520 then yeah, let's wait till after the midterms. McConnell always 0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:34.520 wants to wait until after the mid terms. I don't 0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:37.560 I don't see how that's going to be a I 0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:39.120 don't think that's a good idea. In fact, our our 0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:43.159 our friend here, ms Ann Coulter, who you know, people 0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:48.960 don't give Ann of enough credit on this issue. Trump's 0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:53.479 whole argument on immigration, and there was a time when 0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:55.520 he would talk about this publicly. But Trump's argument on 0:04:55.520 --> 0:05:01.320 immigration was largely borrowed from an older's book, Audios America. 0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:05.000 This isn't just a theory. I mean, I know, this 0:05:05.080 --> 0:05:06.680 was what was going on at the time. Trump read 0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:10.039 that book and borrowed the arguments from it and defeated 0:05:10.320 --> 0:05:14.880 you know, sixteen other GOP candidates and is the one 0:05:14.880 --> 0:05:18.880 who went on the Bill Maher show when there were 0:05:18.920 --> 0:05:21.640 all seventeen golp opals and said, you know who's the 0:05:21.680 --> 0:05:23.560 most likely to win, Donald Trump, and was booed and 0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:27.160 heckled and a ha ha unlike that room for I 0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:30.440 mean the bill maher audience is the true hyena arena. 0:05:30.480 --> 0:05:33.719 I mean, they are as bad as it gets. But 0:05:34.560 --> 0:05:35.880 you know, I and went in there and she said that, 0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:39.719 and of course she was prophetic, not just correct, but prophetic. 0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:42.080 And here's what she says about this wall situation played 0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:44.600 for with these endless on flaws with oh, it was 0:05:44.640 --> 0:05:48.360 the unaccompanied children, and and and now with oh, they 0:05:48.440 --> 0:05:50.919 might they can't be separated from their parents, you know, 0:05:50.960 --> 0:05:54.600 the coyotes and drug dealers. Um. We can't keep fighting 0:05:54.640 --> 0:06:01.840 the entire msm um, the entire donor class, the Democrats, 0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:05.839 the Republicans. That's why we wanted a wall. We need 0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:08.880 a rat. If he build the wall, the media will 0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:12.000 book go crazy, it will distract over everything, and his 0:06:12.120 --> 0:06:15.920 poll numbers will go through the roof. I think she's right. 0:06:17.560 --> 0:06:21.560 I think she's right. And I also think that uh, 0:06:21.560 --> 0:06:27.279 that n is somebody who doesn't get enough credit for 0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:30.000 seeing which seeing which way things gonna go with Trump. 0:06:31.279 --> 0:06:35.120 You know, I do not like this. I do not 0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:38.440 like this notion that Trump shouldn't fight here. And and 0:06:38.480 --> 0:06:41.880 the Republicans are already they're already brought in for the exits. 0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:45.840 That's not the way that it should be. New whatever 0:06:45.880 --> 0:06:49.760 that's worth, new degrees with me, Play five. He's gotta 0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:52.159 be firm if if, if this is the fight he wants, 0:06:52.480 --> 0:06:54.680 he's got to go to the country. He's got to 0:06:54.720 --> 0:06:58.080 explain it. He's got to tie it to illegal criminals 0:06:58.360 --> 0:07:01.720 and to people who we know for fast facts. I mean, 0:07:01.960 --> 0:07:04.880 you go around the country, you find these incidents, uh, 0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:07.360 people who have been killed, people who have been tortured, 0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:10.520 people who have been raped. Uh. And did you look 0:07:10.520 --> 0:07:13.520 at the total volume of fentanyl and of opioids that 0:07:13.560 --> 0:07:16.280 come in across the border. And I think the President 0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:21.520 can make a very strong case. We have over sixty 0:07:21.520 --> 0:07:26.360 thousand Americans a year dying of drug overdoses, a large 0:07:26.400 --> 0:07:29.880 percentage of that tied directly to illegal drugs crossing the border. 0:07:30.880 --> 0:07:33.400 And you're gonna tell me that there's not there's not 0:07:33.440 --> 0:07:37.160 a political will or or enough of a political movement 0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:40.280 to do something about it. I refuse to believe that. 0:07:40.360 --> 0:07:43.240 I I certainly hope that's not the case. I do 0:07:43.280 --> 0:07:45.920 not believe that is the case. But Trump has to 0:07:45.960 --> 0:07:50.760 fight Democrats are willing to. They're willing to, uh let 0:07:50.800 --> 0:07:56.560 America dissolve through open borders, through a dissolution of American culture, 0:07:56.560 --> 0:07:59.160 through a you know, one thing that I thought was 0:07:59.200 --> 0:08:02.000 really interesting. I'll I'll take a moment from this. This 0:08:02.040 --> 0:08:03.920 is not really a monologue mode here. I'm just this 0:08:04.000 --> 0:08:05.440 is just Buck talking to you. For a minute. I 0:08:05.440 --> 0:08:09.200 thought this was so interesting. I was speaking to a 0:08:09.240 --> 0:08:13.120 former US ambassa sor to Mexico. And this is a 0:08:13.120 --> 0:08:17.239 guy who's very favorably disposed, disposed towards the Mexican people, 0:08:17.280 --> 0:08:22.000 obviously a fluent, fluent Spanish speaker, and uh, you know, 0:08:22.640 --> 0:08:25.840 is lived there for many, many, many years, and on 0:08:25.920 --> 0:08:29.080 top of being ambassador. And I just said, why do 0:08:29.160 --> 0:08:32.600 we have thirty thousand plus murders a year in Mexico? 0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:36.800 Another statistic you don't hear much about murder murder rate 0:08:36.800 --> 0:08:39.439 in Mexico higher than it's ever been. You look at 0:08:39.480 --> 0:08:45.839 the murder rate for uh, the worst murder rates in 0:08:45.880 --> 0:08:47.560 the world in terms of cities that are not in 0:08:47.559 --> 0:08:50.560 a state of war, right, just that are cities that 0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:55.760 have have criminal homicidnes a lot of them are in 0:08:55.880 --> 0:08:58.960 Latin America, and a lot of them are happening to 0:08:58.960 --> 0:09:01.520 be at the very top of the in Mexico specifically. 0:09:02.840 --> 0:09:05.319 But I asked, I said, so, why does Mexico with 0:09:05.440 --> 0:09:08.360 a neighbor to its north that's the wealthiest, most powerful 0:09:08.360 --> 0:09:11.120 country in the world, that is a benevolent neighbor. I 0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:14.800 know people, Oh no, yeah, we are benevolent neighbor. And 0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:17.800 you know, Mexico doesn't really have any real national security concerns. 0:09:17.800 --> 0:09:19.520 I don't have to worry about being invaded. It doesn't 0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:24.320 you know, why is it so the government so dysfunctional? 0:09:24.440 --> 0:09:27.079 And I just asked, I just want to know, because 0:09:27.080 --> 0:09:29.080 I'm not a lot in America. Guy, I don't speak Spanish. 0:09:29.120 --> 0:09:30.600 I'm not a lot of America specialists. I know more 0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:33.920 about the Middle East than I do about Mexico. And 0:09:33.960 --> 0:09:37.200 he said, well, you can start with the fact that 0:09:38.360 --> 0:09:46.920 a very small percentage of um Mexican murders are solved 0:09:46.960 --> 0:09:50.240 and prosecuted and then extrapolate that down. I think he 0:09:50.280 --> 0:09:51.800 said it was three percent, By the way, I mean, 0:09:51.800 --> 0:09:54.800 it was a shockingly known low number. It's so low 0:09:54.800 --> 0:09:56.240 that I feel like I must have misheard him and 0:09:56.280 --> 0:09:58.000 maybe I did, but I think he said three percent. 0:09:58.040 --> 0:10:00.520 Maybe it was thirty, but I think he said to repersent, 0:10:01.480 --> 0:10:05.440 which think about that murders a year in that country 0:10:05.520 --> 0:10:12.040 and three percent of them are solved prosecuted. Um. And 0:10:12.040 --> 0:10:14.520 then he said it's really a rule of law issue 0:10:15.280 --> 0:10:19.920 and that culturally the rule of law is viewed differently. 0:10:21.360 --> 0:10:23.800 And I said, well, what does that mean exactly? And 0:10:23.840 --> 0:10:27.040 then the microphones came out and it was time to 0:10:27.080 --> 0:10:29.000 sit into the interview, and we didn't really get to 0:10:29.040 --> 0:10:33.520 get into it, but I thought that was very insightful. 0:10:34.600 --> 0:10:40.720 The rule of law is viewed differently. Mm hmm. I 0:10:40.760 --> 0:10:42.760 think people that's want to have to chew on a 0:10:42.760 --> 0:10:45.240 bit more. But why is Mexico so dysfunctional? Because people 0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:47.840 have a belief that they don't have to obey the 0:10:47.880 --> 0:10:50.960 rules and they won't be punished if they don't, and 0:10:50.960 --> 0:10:54.120 that there's this is kind of the cultural sense of 0:10:54.280 --> 0:10:57.079 you know, do you do you stop at a stop 0:10:57.120 --> 0:10:58.880 sign just because there's a stop sign, or do you 0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:00.920 always check and see if they're ops are gonna catch you. 0:11:01.160 --> 0:11:02.880 If your first impulse is to always see if there 0:11:02.880 --> 0:11:06.520 are cops around to enforce it, that's that means something. 0:11:08.320 --> 0:11:11.400 But you know, we're we're fighting this that's just an 0:11:11.400 --> 0:11:14.360 a cyber we we're fighting this battle over over the 0:11:14.400 --> 0:11:17.760 wall and over dealing with immigration in our southern border, 0:11:19.000 --> 0:11:22.200 and we don't have time, we don't have the ability 0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:26.559 to delay this um that the Democrats are willing to 0:11:26.840 --> 0:11:29.800 not just amnesty the eleven million people that are in 0:11:29.800 --> 0:11:34.960 this country illegally, just wholesale amnesty them, but also to 0:11:35.200 --> 0:11:39.360 encourage more entrance all the time. I mean the stuff 0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:42.880 that when you when you think about how you have 0:11:42.920 --> 0:11:45.360 people that are putting their children and themselves in jeopardy 0:11:45.400 --> 0:11:47.400 and breaking the law to come to our southern border 0:11:47.400 --> 0:11:51.760 and use children as props to get into the country 0:11:51.800 --> 0:11:55.679 in some cases, right, they're willing to uh to use 0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:59.000 children as the wedge that will launch them into into America, 0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:02.080 into the in a ear. And you think of what 0:12:02.120 --> 0:12:04.640 the Democrats are thing to say about immigrations and customs 0:12:04.720 --> 0:12:08.520 enforcement agents and the Trump administration their Nazis, this is 0:12:08.559 --> 0:12:11.720 the Ghoulag, this is prison for babies. All this stuff 0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:15.959 not taking into account that a lot of immigration and 0:12:16.000 --> 0:12:19.000 customs enforcement are actually former military, so they're really just 0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:22.840 spitting on veterans who are working in immigrations and customs enforcement. 0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:25.959 Now they don't think twice about that at all. I 0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:28.040 think the Democrats are lost on this issue, meaning that 0:12:28.080 --> 0:12:30.200 I think that they think will never turn back and 0:12:30.240 --> 0:12:32.240 become a party of rule of law at the border. 0:12:33.240 --> 0:12:36.000 They have given up. They have decided that, or not 0:12:36.080 --> 0:12:42.040 given up. They've embraced. They've embraced this notion of importing 0:12:43.000 --> 0:12:45.480 new voters to replace the ones of this country that 0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:49.160 won't go along with them. And we all understand this, 0:12:49.240 --> 0:12:52.439 and the Democrats they won't like this, they won't want 0:12:52.440 --> 0:12:56.040 to hear about it. But uh, people that come to 0:12:56.040 --> 0:12:59.760 the country from the third World not speaking English are 0:12:59.800 --> 0:13:03.360 going to need And I really lose my patience with 0:13:03.400 --> 0:13:06.839 these people. Oh no, every they contribute ordered to g 0:13:07.000 --> 0:13:08.839 d P. Yeah, that's just like saying they do things. 0:13:09.679 --> 0:13:12.760 Everyone does something. Everyone has to be involved in some 0:13:12.880 --> 0:13:15.200 kind of activity. Yeah, they buy things, they eat things, 0:13:15.200 --> 0:13:17.680 they do things. Sure they can they contribute to GDP 0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:21.720 in some way. But if you're looking at in the aggregate, 0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:26.680 are we better off by bringing in people who won 0:13:26.880 --> 0:13:29.439 Their first act on us soil is to violate the 0:13:29.480 --> 0:13:31.800 rule of law that is there, that is buying definition, 0:13:31.840 --> 0:13:35.079 Their first act is to disregard our laws and then 0:13:35.120 --> 0:13:37.480 are told that they are owed something once they get 0:13:37.480 --> 0:13:39.440 to this country because we're not doing a good enough 0:13:39.559 --> 0:13:42.760 job giving them stuff as a country. Right, that's the 0:13:42.760 --> 0:13:46.079 Democrat line. Now, Oh, they're not you know, we need 0:13:46.120 --> 0:13:48.320 to give them Obamacare, and we need to give them 0:13:48.559 --> 0:13:50.559 free school, we need to give them free college. We 0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:54.240 need and we think that this is going to be 0:13:54.240 --> 0:13:56.480 better for a country that's already twenty trillion dollars in debt. 0:13:56.559 --> 0:14:01.560 How I returned to a central theme of the show 0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:06.719 these days, the Democrats are un serious but dangerous and 0:14:06.720 --> 0:14:08.840 and I think that the shutdown. I think the shutdown 0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:13.200 needs to happen before before the election. If we will 0:14:13.240 --> 0:14:16.960 not fight now, when will we fight. If we're not 0:14:17.000 --> 0:14:18.800 going to make a stand, I don't know if there's 0:14:18.800 --> 0:14:20.680 ever gonna be a chance after this, folks. I'm really 0:14:21.000 --> 0:14:22.400 I'm not gonna sit here and do the whole Oh, 0:14:22.440 --> 0:14:24.400 it is the most important election of our lifetime. Everyone 0:14:24.400 --> 0:14:27.160 says about every election. It's the biggest cliche in politics. 0:14:27.200 --> 0:14:31.440 I get that on the issue of a wall, you 0:14:31.520 --> 0:14:35.800 either make a stand now or it's never going to happen. 0:14:38.840 --> 0:14:41.440 I can't guarantee you I'm right on this one, but man, 0:14:41.480 --> 0:14:43.120 I would put serious money down on it. What do 0:14:43.120 --> 0:14:45.000 you think the wall is gonna happen the Democrats take 0:14:45.040 --> 0:14:51.120 the House. Please if it doesn't happen now, it's never 0:14:51.120 --> 0:14:56.240 gonna happen. If it never happens, the country is sliding 0:14:56.360 --> 0:14:59.360 deeper and deeper into an open border status where it 0:14:59.360 --> 0:15:04.080 will cease to be America. That we know, just the 0:15:04.320 --> 0:15:08.680 just the reality, folks, eight four four n eight to five. 0:15:08.800 --> 0:15:11.760 You want to chat? Eight four? Fuck? Do you agree 0:15:11.760 --> 0:15:16.400 with me? Should Trump push for the shutdown? Or am 0:15:16.400 --> 0:15:18.320 I being too aggressive? Am I being a little too 0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:20.760 buck wild? Here? Let me know and we will be 0:15:20.840 --> 0:15:33.480 right back. But that's stuff that President Trump just came 0:15:33.520 --> 0:15:35.320 back to say we need to put this to rest. 0:15:35.360 --> 0:15:37.320 He's been saying this all the time. And if anybody 0:15:37.320 --> 0:15:39.280 who has any to do with President Trump is watching this, 0:15:39.400 --> 0:15:41.760 please send him this message. There's two point six percent 0:15:41.800 --> 0:15:44.080 economic growth. It is for one quarter. You can spike 0:15:44.160 --> 0:15:46.040 growth for a quarter all sorts of times. In fact, 0:15:46.080 --> 0:15:48.320 do you know how many times during President Obama's eight 0:15:48.360 --> 0:15:52.800 years growth was two point six percent or higher? Four quarters, 0:15:53.000 --> 0:15:57.800 four quarters, teen times during President Obama's administration, growth was 0:15:57.840 --> 0:16:00.720 two point six percent or higher. Eight times it was 0:16:00.760 --> 0:16:02.840 three percent or higher. So Donald Trump just has to 0:16:02.920 --> 0:16:06.360 get off of this GDP kick. It's just nonsensical and 0:16:06.360 --> 0:16:10.520 it's it's it's disingenuous. I don't know. He needs to 0:16:10.560 --> 0:16:13.960 get off of it to save himself, if he himself, 0:16:14.000 --> 0:16:16.560 if he puts himself in a situation, if we budget 0:16:16.720 --> 0:16:19.560 the US, if McK milvaney puts a budget in place, 0:16:19.640 --> 0:16:23.520 assuming that we're gonna face three percent GDP, We're not 0:16:23.600 --> 0:16:26.400 going to That is a goal, not a baseline. And 0:16:26.400 --> 0:16:28.600 if you want to disappoint the American people, tell them 0:16:28.600 --> 0:16:31.120 they're going to get that, because guess what, that's not real. 0:16:31.200 --> 0:16:34.400 Like I've been worried for some time, we may be 0:16:34.560 --> 0:16:37.880 seeing a kind of sugar high, and that sugar highs 0:16:37.960 --> 0:16:43.520 tend to be followed by much less happy periods. Certainly, 0:16:43.840 --> 0:16:48.280 if you use the standard of what the administration has 0:16:48.320 --> 0:16:51.680 held out, the hope for three to four percent growth, 0:16:52.200 --> 0:16:56.320 there is nothing in any data suggesting that we're moving 0:16:56.440 --> 0:17:01.160 towards that three to four percent growth standards. So they 0:17:01.360 --> 0:17:04.000 haven't folks. That's pretty much Carvers. Before you got MSNBC 0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:09.080 with a couple of like UH markets experts there, uh 0:17:09.400 --> 0:17:12.240 saying that, well, producer, Mike, when was that from? That 0:17:12.280 --> 0:17:16.600 was obviously early on this year, right back when the 0:17:16.720 --> 0:17:19.600 budgets were coming out. I can't hear you, buddy, but 0:17:19.680 --> 0:17:23.720 fair enough. Um, so yeah, that was that was a 0:17:23.840 --> 0:17:27.520 while back. And then so so originally it was we're 0:17:27.560 --> 0:17:31.080 never gonna get there, and now it's we're not gonna 0:17:31.119 --> 0:17:35.240 stay there. It's almost like Trump can't win right when 0:17:35.280 --> 0:17:39.720 it was when it was advantageous for the anti Trump 0:17:39.720 --> 0:17:42.720 media to say we're never gonna hit the projection of 0:17:42.800 --> 0:17:45.040 four percent that he said we're gonna hit months ago, 0:17:46.040 --> 0:17:48.320 that was the refrain. Now that we've hit four percent, Oh, 0:17:48.359 --> 0:17:50.440 we're not gonna stay with four percent. That's not gonna 0:17:51.440 --> 0:17:55.240 because here's the real problem. They can't beat Trump on 0:17:55.240 --> 0:17:58.880 the economy right now. They have no real argument to make. 0:18:00.200 --> 0:18:04.800 And we all still remember the hostility of the Obama 0:18:04.840 --> 0:18:09.080 era to private enterprise, private property, small business. There was 0:18:09.119 --> 0:18:11.600 a real hostility to those things, particularly in the form 0:18:11.640 --> 0:18:18.240 of government intervention via regulation. And so we see this 0:18:18.280 --> 0:18:20.840 now as people who have lived through what it means 0:18:20.880 --> 0:18:25.120 to have the government way to involve in in our business, 0:18:25.240 --> 0:18:29.000 like literally up in our biz. So just just note 0:18:29.040 --> 0:18:31.120 that all these people that are saying this stuff, they're 0:18:31.119 --> 0:18:34.280 telling you what they want to believe, not what is reality. 0:18:35.200 --> 0:18:38.080 But I'm here to give you reality. We've got some 0:18:38.200 --> 0:18:41.760 interesting numbers on what medicare for all would be, like 0:18:42.720 --> 0:18:55.760 we'll get their team stay with me. He's holding the 0:18:55.840 --> 0:19:01.080 line for America. Buck Sexton his back and he said 0:19:01.359 --> 0:19:05.560 not by cash interruption coin sais no, no, but and 0:19:05.600 --> 0:19:09.640 then Trump says check immediately it's cut off. Click. Next 0:19:09.680 --> 0:19:13.000 thing you hear is Don Jr. He must be talking 0:19:13.000 --> 0:19:16.639 to Don Jr. But that's erased also, so seeah, he 0:19:16.760 --> 0:19:19.360 raised him and the expert. The expert is going through 0:19:19.400 --> 0:19:20.639 and trying to figure out a few things that can 0:19:20.680 --> 0:19:22.359 be very hard to figure out, like it is just 0:19:22.440 --> 0:19:24.880 a recording of a recording. Did he cut it off 0:19:24.920 --> 0:19:26.800 at the time or did he go back into his 0:19:26.880 --> 0:19:29.520 little laboratory or whatever the hell he had and cut 0:19:29.520 --> 0:19:32.280 it off. It's wild and crazy and they're out of 0:19:32.320 --> 0:19:36.080 their minds. He did. He did not participate in any 0:19:36.080 --> 0:19:38.240 meeting about the Russians transaction. The other people at the 0:19:38.240 --> 0:19:40.480 meeting that he claims he had without the president about 0:19:40.480 --> 0:19:43.199 it say he was never there. Uh, and there are 0:19:43.200 --> 0:19:46.879 at least four separate witnesses who say that against a 0:19:46.880 --> 0:19:48.080 guy has been kind of proven to be one of 0:19:48.119 --> 0:19:50.680 the biggest layers in America. You tell me a lawyer 0:19:50.720 --> 0:19:54.199 is taping his client, the guy is unethical, He's a scumbag, 0:19:54.240 --> 0:19:56.400 He's a horrible person. I've never heard of a lawyer 0:19:56.480 --> 0:19:59.359 taping his client without the client's consent. I never heard 0:19:59.400 --> 0:20:02.600 of person like Cohen doing what he did to Chris Como, 0:20:02.960 --> 0:20:06.159 coming into his office in this building, taking out his phone, 0:20:06.600 --> 0:20:09.080 putting it away and saying I'm not recording it, and 0:20:09.080 --> 0:20:15.120 then recording it for two hours. Cohen is shady, folks, 0:20:15.840 --> 0:20:18.800 no question about it. Uh, going is shady there. You 0:20:18.840 --> 0:20:21.360 had Rudy Giuliani out there making the case about this, 0:20:21.520 --> 0:20:26.480 and uh, you know that there's there's such a media 0:20:26.520 --> 0:20:28.560 fascination with this one. I don't think it's really go 0:20:28.560 --> 0:20:32.679 anywhere because I don't believe that Cohen has anything on 0:20:32.800 --> 0:20:35.960 Trump to give, which means that at the end of 0:20:36.000 --> 0:20:39.360 all this, Cohen will have not just burn he will 0:20:39.400 --> 0:20:42.960 have have nuked Abridge, so to speak. He will have 0:20:43.080 --> 0:20:46.080 completely obliterated any relationship that he has with the most 0:20:46.080 --> 0:20:49.520 powerful man in the country right now, Uh, and we'll 0:20:49.560 --> 0:20:53.560 have put the country through a real barrage of just 0:20:53.880 --> 0:21:00.199 sordid the whole thing. I gotta agree with Giuliani. A 0:21:00.280 --> 0:21:02.879 lawyer who records his clients. That's terrifying. I mean this 0:21:02.960 --> 0:21:04.639 is up there with like a you know, a doctor 0:21:04.680 --> 0:21:07.120 who sets up a camera in the examination room for kicks. 0:21:07.119 --> 0:21:11.520 I mean, this is really bad. And you know, I 0:21:11.200 --> 0:21:13.720 I see this now as as a point of media 0:21:13.760 --> 0:21:16.640 fascination because they're saying and this was the big storyline 0:21:16.680 --> 0:21:18.440 that I don't think we actually even have this sound 0:21:18.480 --> 0:21:19.800 by But it doesn't matter. I'll tell you what it 0:21:19.880 --> 0:21:24.199 was that whenever Juliani says collusion is not a crime, 0:21:25.200 --> 0:21:29.800 they're pushing him on this and they're saying, well, uh, 0:21:30.200 --> 0:21:33.840 there's now that they're preparing to tell us that collusion happened. 0:21:34.760 --> 0:21:37.879 That's just not true. Um. And you have former Bush 0:21:37.920 --> 0:21:42.000 administration spokesperson Nicole Wallace. There's one of these people who 0:21:42.040 --> 0:21:44.520 has now found a home at MSNBC by being a 0:21:44.600 --> 0:21:49.639 complete and an absolute Trump basher, which I don't think 0:21:49.880 --> 0:21:52.440 is I don't think she would disagree with that as 0:21:52.480 --> 0:21:55.760 a description. I mean she she clearly bashes the president 0:21:55.800 --> 0:21:59.000 all the time, and she may say critiques or criticizes, 0:21:59.160 --> 0:22:05.000 but um, here you have this whole fight that's coming 0:22:05.080 --> 0:22:08.680 up over over over collusion, whether collusion happened, and they're 0:22:08.680 --> 0:22:10.600 already moving the goalposts on this one. I want you 0:22:10.680 --> 0:22:13.560 to be very clear on what's gonna happen here. They're 0:22:13.600 --> 0:22:19.480 gonna say that even if no crime was committed here, 0:22:21.000 --> 0:22:24.439 that there was, that it was unethical to take the meeting, 0:22:25.240 --> 0:22:27.840 and so that alone is going to turn into a 0:22:27.880 --> 0:22:31.600 call for impeachment if they take the house, by the way, 0:22:31.600 --> 0:22:33.760 forget about all that stuff. Remember Rod Roden seeing the 0:22:33.840 --> 0:22:36.040 d J a week ago. Oh my gosh, you didn't 0:22:36.040 --> 0:22:38.200 commit a crime. You can't sell him all. You can't. 0:22:38.200 --> 0:22:40.480 You can't take him out of office. No crime, no crime. 0:22:41.440 --> 0:22:44.600 Impeachment for Rosenstein because they like him, needs to be 0:22:44.640 --> 0:22:48.600 a criminal offense or else there's nothing there. Impeachment for 0:22:48.640 --> 0:22:51.840 Trump is going to be a political offense. And I 0:22:51.880 --> 0:22:56.360 actually think that impeachment power has always had a political 0:22:56.400 --> 0:23:00.520 component to it. Yeah, you know, if you are if 0:23:00.520 --> 0:23:02.480 you kill a bunch of people in a drunken rage, 0:23:02.520 --> 0:23:04.639 you should be able to be impeached and then prosecutor 0:23:04.680 --> 0:23:07.679 if your president. But also if you're just engaged in 0:23:08.000 --> 0:23:11.960 unseemly and corrupt behavior Senate, with the with the House, 0:23:12.000 --> 0:23:13.439 they mean they should be able to impeach and then 0:23:13.480 --> 0:23:17.400 remove you. That that is something that that is very real. 0:23:17.440 --> 0:23:19.840 And as I as I read to you people in 0:23:19.840 --> 0:23:22.679 the federal bench, federal government officials have been impeached in 0:23:22.720 --> 0:23:27.639 the past for non criminal behavior. So they are trying 0:23:27.680 --> 0:23:29.400 to make the case right now, they're trying to lay 0:23:29.400 --> 0:23:34.760 the groundwork for collusion, which isn't a crime, it is 0:23:34.800 --> 0:23:37.600 a concept. It's a narrative. They're going to make the 0:23:37.640 --> 0:23:42.040 case that the collusion narrative is enough on its own 0:23:42.240 --> 0:23:46.200 to warrant impeachment if Democrats take the majority in the House. 0:23:47.359 --> 0:23:50.560 That's where this is all heading um at. And they're 0:23:50.600 --> 0:23:53.600 also saying, remember we we've learned almost nothing new about 0:23:53.640 --> 0:23:56.000 this Trump Tower meeting. All we have that's new, that's 0:23:56.000 --> 0:23:59.800 gotten this injected into the new cycle is that is 0:23:59.840 --> 0:24:03.280 that Cohen says. And now a guy who's a proven liar, 0:24:04.200 --> 0:24:06.399 who has a lot of incentive, not just he's not 0:24:06.440 --> 0:24:08.120 just a liar, has a lot of incentive to lie 0:24:08.280 --> 0:24:12.040 right now, the dirsh Dursch waited on this one play three. 0:24:13.119 --> 0:24:17.320 Of course, he'd much prefer to remain loyal to President Trump, 0:24:17.359 --> 0:24:20.720 but prosecutors have him in a squeeze. Uh. They may 0:24:20.760 --> 0:24:24.800 have information about his taxi medallions, about other kinds of issues, 0:24:24.840 --> 0:24:30.120 and that's what they're doing with Manaford too. Manafort apparently 0:24:30.160 --> 0:24:33.560 made a lot of money doing this consulting stuff for Russia. 0:24:33.760 --> 0:24:36.359 I gotta say I didn't realize it was that it 0:24:36.520 --> 0:24:41.120 was that kind of lucrative. Um Bloomberg says. Manaford here 0:24:41.680 --> 0:24:46.480 made more than sixty million dollars as a political consultant 0:24:46.440 --> 0:24:49.520 in Ukraine. Producer Mike, we are in the wrong business, 0:24:49.760 --> 0:24:52.399 did you know this? We should apparently be in the 0:24:52.520 --> 0:24:55.800 shady political consultant business. We'd be great, dude, We'd be great. 0:24:55.880 --> 0:24:58.680 You know. You'd be the muscle. I'd be the I'd 0:24:58.680 --> 0:25:01.560 be the bagman. I'd be go collecting the contributions, and 0:25:01.600 --> 0:25:03.880 you'd come in with two guys named Uri and Oleg 0:25:04.600 --> 0:25:07.560 and they'll do anything. You say. Sixty million, dude, we 0:25:07.560 --> 0:25:10.160 could retire on that. Yeah, but we're too honest for that. Buck. 0:25:10.440 --> 0:25:12.639 I know we're good guys. We could never a you're 0:25:12.680 --> 0:25:15.920 kidding me, dude. He he'd he'd bring out, he'd bring 0:25:15.960 --> 0:25:19.600 out cash and and Cash would just start just start 0:25:19.640 --> 0:25:21.919 being all all cute and cuddly to the bad guys 0:25:21.920 --> 0:25:24.159 and it just wouldn't work. And stick my cockapool on you. 0:25:25.960 --> 0:25:27.920 Sick my cockapool on you. That's the first time I've 0:25:27.960 --> 0:25:32.160 ever heard that. Um yeah, I forgot you. I forgot 0:25:32.200 --> 0:25:36.760 you have a cockapoo. That is quite a dog name. So, oh, 0:25:36.760 --> 0:25:38.600 by the way, for this is a total aside, folks, 0:25:38.640 --> 0:25:41.439 if you have not seen this, and this is one 0:25:41.480 --> 0:25:43.200 of my frustrations on radio. This is why, by the way, 0:25:43.200 --> 0:25:45.560 we're gonna start streaming some of the show. That's another 0:25:45.680 --> 0:25:48.160 fun thing that's coming up soon. Um so that we're 0:25:48.160 --> 0:25:50.320 gonna have more video components to this radio show for 0:25:50.320 --> 0:25:51.640 those of you that are into that kind of thing. 0:25:52.560 --> 0:25:54.159 Um So, I can actually show you photos of the 0:25:54.200 --> 0:25:58.480 cockapoo for example. But there was a a video that 0:25:58.520 --> 0:26:02.600 went completely via over the weekend of a dog and 0:26:02.600 --> 0:26:04.480 I didn't get much details on it doesn't matter. A 0:26:04.560 --> 0:26:08.320 dog that's in someone's yard that took a go pro 0:26:08.520 --> 0:26:10.360 and is holding it in its mouth, so it has 0:26:10.400 --> 0:26:12.760 the GoPro camera and is running with it in its mouth. 0:26:12.880 --> 0:26:15.000 You can see the dog's face, its eyes and then 0:26:15.040 --> 0:26:16.800 see behind it, and you see the human beings that 0:26:16.840 --> 0:26:20.000 are trying to chase after it. It's just I can't 0:26:20.000 --> 0:26:21.720 do a justice except to say that you've got to 0:26:21.720 --> 0:26:23.720 watch it. It's like a minute of your life that 0:26:23.840 --> 0:26:26.760 is well spent. Watching this dog run around with a 0:26:26.800 --> 0:26:30.240 GoPro in its mouth is really funny. So see, there's 0:26:30.240 --> 0:26:32.920 there's happy things in life too, folks. That's why people 0:26:32.920 --> 0:26:34.399 come to this show. I give them the heavy, but 0:26:34.440 --> 0:26:37.320 I also give them the happy. You know, some shows 0:26:37.359 --> 0:26:40.560 it's always you know, the country is going to the crapper. 0:26:40.720 --> 0:26:44.200 It's terrible what's happening here? Oh my gosh, the Problicans 0:26:44.280 --> 0:26:47.520 have sold Some days I feel like that too, And 0:26:47.560 --> 0:26:49.320 some days that's even how I sound. But I don't 0:26:49.320 --> 0:26:50.840 know how people can sound like that all the time. 0:26:51.359 --> 0:26:54.520 Oh let's take Colors, the phone company selling us out. 0:26:54.560 --> 0:26:58.440 They're destroying us peace. It seems a little seems a 0:26:58.440 --> 0:27:01.639 little excessive to me. All back to Cohen and Manifort 0:27:01.680 --> 0:27:04.480 and oh my, so you know, Cohen's gonna say whatever 0:27:04.480 --> 0:27:06.200 he has to say right now because he's just trying 0:27:06.200 --> 0:27:08.600 to butter up the prosecutors because they've definitely got him 0:27:08.600 --> 0:27:11.520 on something. There's no question in my mind, because when 0:27:11.520 --> 0:27:13.600 you're a if you're a lawyer who is stooping to 0:27:14.880 --> 0:27:19.679 recording your own clients, they got you. They got you 0:27:19.720 --> 0:27:21.359 on something. I don't know what they've got you on, 0:27:21.440 --> 0:27:24.959 but they got you. Uh. And so that's why anything 0:27:24.960 --> 0:27:26.840 that he says can't really be taking all that seriously. 0:27:27.800 --> 0:27:29.720 He says Trump knew about the Trump tar meeting. I 0:27:29.800 --> 0:27:32.479 still I take the the same line that Andy McCarthy has. 0:27:32.480 --> 0:27:35.040 In fact, when Andy was first dealing with this issue, 0:27:35.080 --> 0:27:38.879 he was on this show. Um, he was on this show, 0:27:39.119 --> 0:27:43.560 and you know, I agree with him and that collusion 0:27:43.600 --> 0:27:46.280 is not a crime. And it may seem ikey to 0:27:46.359 --> 0:27:49.199 meet with a foreign government that's offering, but remember she 0:27:49.320 --> 0:27:53.360 wasn't really a She wasn't a member of the Russian government. 0:27:53.359 --> 0:27:58.679 This Natalia vezl Nitskaya was an intermediary the Russian person 0:27:59.480 --> 0:28:01.479 that hasn't for nation. And I just feel like if 0:28:01.520 --> 0:28:03.840 we took the Russian thing out of this, if if 0:28:03.880 --> 0:28:10.680 the Hillary Clinton campaign heard that a French national had 0:28:11.040 --> 0:28:17.320 information on Donald Trump's financial dealings in the court as 0:28:17.800 --> 0:28:22.560 is many feet was a crab and as a man, 0:28:22.600 --> 0:28:26.440 I need a vacation. But you know, if some French guy, 0:28:26.840 --> 0:28:28.840 call him Jean Philippe, because I want to get into 0:28:28.880 --> 0:28:33.240 character here. If Jean Philippe had information about Trump's financial 0:28:33.240 --> 0:28:35.800 dealings that could that could throw the election of Hillary, 0:28:36.000 --> 0:28:39.440 you're gonna tell me Hillary, Hello, she's not gonna actually 0:28:40.400 --> 0:28:43.440 try to get that information. That her campaign's gonna say, no, sorry, 0:28:43.480 --> 0:28:46.800 your foreigner. Come on. Not only do we know that's 0:28:46.840 --> 0:28:51.520 not true in the hypothetical, in reality, we know that 0:28:51.640 --> 0:28:57.920 the Trump administration, I'm sorry that the Clinton campaign paid 0:28:57.920 --> 0:29:00.960 a foreigner to use foreign so horses to not just 0:29:01.080 --> 0:29:03.680 turn the press against Trump, but to weaponize the FBI 0:29:03.720 --> 0:29:07.239 against him via the dossier. So all this holier than 0:29:07.280 --> 0:29:10.400 Now collusion stuff is really hard for me to take. 0:29:10.480 --> 0:29:11.920 It's I just don't need to hear it. I think 0:29:11.960 --> 0:29:14.320 it's all a bunch of a bunch of claptrap, a 0:29:14.360 --> 0:29:18.800 bunch of malarkey. You find some other like Scottish Irish phrases? 0:29:18.880 --> 0:29:21.440 Is it is malarkey? Scottish or Irish? Producer Mike his 0:29:21.560 --> 0:29:23.440 last name, We call him Quinn too because of his 0:29:23.520 --> 0:29:27.640 last name. Hey, Quinn, Malarkey's Irish, right, It's not Scottish. 0:29:28.400 --> 0:29:31.440 What's the Scottish equivalent? Of malarkey. That's a good question. 0:29:31.720 --> 0:29:33.640 It probably has it probably has an F bomb in it. 0:29:33.680 --> 0:29:35.240 But like you know, we should find out what the 0:29:35.240 --> 0:29:38.520 Scottish version of malarkey is because it would be a 0:29:38.520 --> 0:29:42.240 fun thing to say on air. Um. Yeah, I feel 0:29:42.240 --> 0:29:44.560 like Clint Eastwood in in the Line of Fire when 0:29:44.600 --> 0:29:47.760 he just says I liked I like the term cacamamie. 0:29:47.800 --> 0:29:51.480 We should bring it back. It's kacammie. He just decides 0:29:51.480 --> 0:29:53.160 that that's something a word they should bring back. That's 0:29:53.200 --> 0:29:56.000 how I feel about malarkey. And I also I'm trying 0:29:56.040 --> 0:29:59.000 to spread an incompoopery, which is a great word too, 0:29:59.000 --> 0:30:03.760 which is fun to say. Um eight four four two five. 0:30:03.760 --> 0:30:05.240 I said, I would say we had a whole bunch 0:30:05.280 --> 0:30:06.920 of lines live if we still have some lines, because 0:30:06.960 --> 0:30:08.840 sometimes when I talk, people like, okay, buck, you're not 0:30:08.840 --> 0:30:11.600 gonna shut up, so I'm gonna drop. But if we 0:30:11.680 --> 0:30:13.840 can will take if people were patient, when they will 0:30:13.840 --> 0:30:17.600 take some calls after the break, and then I've got 0:30:17.640 --> 0:30:19.160 a lot more to talk to you about, folks, because 0:30:19.200 --> 0:30:25.360 we've got the uh, the cost of medicare for all, 0:30:25.560 --> 0:30:27.600 the cost of medicare for all, who wants to take 0:30:27.600 --> 0:30:30.400 a guess is it a lot? Is it too much 0:30:31.600 --> 0:30:33.680 to want? Too cold? Just right? We will we will 0:30:33.680 --> 0:30:47.960 handle that anymore, coming right up. We are doing a 0:30:48.000 --> 0:30:50.680 phenomenal job. We're setting records, but we have laws that 0:30:50.720 --> 0:30:55.520 don't work, so we're working around those laws. And it's unfortunate. 0:30:55.600 --> 0:30:58.520 I have to take my head off to the border 0:30:58.560 --> 0:31:03.360 patrols for the enforcement to Ice, which really has been 0:31:03.400 --> 0:31:06.600 maligned by the Democrats. The job they do. They go 0:31:06.680 --> 0:31:11.880 into these MS thirteen nests, the nests of bad, bad people, 0:31:11.960 --> 0:31:15.240 killers in many cases, and they go in there fearless 0:31:15.280 --> 0:31:17.400 and they do an incredible job and they get them out. 0:31:17.800 --> 0:31:20.040 They go to jail, or they get out of the country. 0:31:20.080 --> 0:31:22.240 So I want to just take my hat off to 0:31:22.400 --> 0:31:25.600 Ice and the brave people that have really been maligned 0:31:25.640 --> 0:31:28.880 by the Democrats. I don't even know. The President said 0:31:28.880 --> 0:31:30.520 that earlier today, and I totally agree with them. And 0:31:30.560 --> 0:31:32.720 I've been saying all along there are maligning immigrations and 0:31:32.760 --> 0:31:36.400 customs and forcing the Democrats. It's it's they are shameless 0:31:36.440 --> 0:31:39.080 and it is shameful what they are doing. We got 0:31:39.120 --> 0:31:40.720 double Wayne on the line right now. We've got a 0:31:40.760 --> 0:31:43.520 Wayne or Wayne. Let's start with the Wayne in Charleston. 0:31:43.560 --> 0:31:48.160 What's up, Wayne? Are you in Charleston, South Carolina? Yes, 0:31:49.120 --> 0:31:52.360 Sheields hither sields high. You're you're in Charleston, South Carolina. 0:31:52.400 --> 0:31:55.080 It's one of my favorite cities in the whole country. Man, 0:31:55.160 --> 0:31:57.160 it is mine too. I was first stationed down here 0:31:57.200 --> 0:32:00.280 in the eighties and and I just moved back about 0:32:00.280 --> 0:32:03.680 a year ago. It's lovely, great, great food, beautiful town, 0:32:03.720 --> 0:32:07.440 beautiful ladies. I'm a big Charleston fam what's on your mind? Wayne? Uh? Hey, 0:32:07.480 --> 0:32:09.040 I this one to agree with you on this. Man. 0:32:09.080 --> 0:32:11.880 We need to take a stand now on this shutdown. 0:32:12.360 --> 0:32:16.560 You know, every every season it comes up and it's 0:32:16.600 --> 0:32:18.720 crazy with the Of course we're gonna get blamed. It 0:32:18.720 --> 0:32:21.320 doesn't matter who's the blame. We're gonna get blamed. Well, 0:32:21.360 --> 0:32:24.360 we're not gonna do in vindictive stuff like shutdown national 0:32:24.400 --> 0:32:26.800 parks and not let vets go into the World War 0:32:26.840 --> 0:32:31.600 two Memorial. Uh, it doesn't matter. Everyone is a government 0:32:31.640 --> 0:32:34.440 ploy gets their check eventually. Yeah, this is what I think. 0:32:34.440 --> 0:32:36.040 This is just a median erator that we need to 0:32:36.040 --> 0:32:37.920 break down the way Trump has broken down other ones 0:32:37.960 --> 0:32:41.120 that the government continues on. A shutdown is not some 0:32:41.240 --> 0:32:44.440 scary the government basically shuts down every week. It's called 0:32:44.480 --> 0:32:48.080 Saturday and Sunday. Like it's fine, right, you don't the 0:32:48.120 --> 0:32:50.880 Russians are not about to invade because the government has 0:32:50.880 --> 0:32:53.880 shut down on Saturday and Sunday. The military still gets paid, 0:32:53.880 --> 0:32:55.920 They're still in place. I mean this is when I 0:32:56.000 --> 0:32:57.840 was c I A. I mean, like, you know, we 0:32:57.840 --> 0:32:59.920 weren't about to be like, oh if there's a shutdown 0:33:00.040 --> 0:33:03.240 more c I A. Like that's not how it works. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:33:03.360 --> 0:33:05.000 well they make they make a lot of the people 0:33:05.080 --> 0:33:09.920 think that, but in essence, no, nothing happens. Exactly. We 0:33:09.960 --> 0:33:12.320 need to make a stand now if there's no time, 0:33:12.680 --> 0:33:15.840 you know, and it's it's getting to the point of 0:33:16.040 --> 0:33:18.240 no return. Wayne, have you, by the way, did you 0:33:18.240 --> 0:33:21.440 listen to the Jesse did Jesse Kelly and Sean Parnell 0:33:21.480 --> 0:33:24.080 podcast last week?

It was several weeks ago and I caught it. 0:33:35.480 --> 0:33:39.280 And it's like the thing that these people have against him, 0:33:39.360 --> 0:33:42.440 and that's the Republican uh, you know establishment and the 0:33:42.480 --> 0:33:46.520 Democrats is they're realizing a regular Joe can come and 0:33:46.560 --> 0:33:49.440 do this that you guys think, whoa, whoa, whoa, we 0:33:49.520 --> 0:33:51.800 gotta drop Hey, wait, I appreciate what we can't.

Whoa cars spicy today spicy? 0:34:08.880 --> 0:34:10.839 But he is correct and that a normal guy can 0:34:10.880 --> 0:34:14.719 come in and do the crap that the government we 0:34:14.760 --> 0:34:17.000 are alleged to believe only the experts can do. But Wayne, 0:34:17.520 --> 0:34:19.759 you know what, I still like Wayne, Wayne, thank you 0:34:19.760 --> 0:34:22.400 for calling in. Appreciate a brother Shields High Wayne in 0:34:22.480 --> 0:34:28.080 moss Point, Mississippi. Wayne, How you doing Buck? Hello? How 0:34:28.120 --> 0:34:29.879 are you? I'm good man? Thank you for you called. 0:34:29.880 --> 0:34:31.880 We got double Wayne tonight on the show. It's exciting. 0:34:32.600 --> 0:34:35.480 All right. Well, I want to tell you that I 0:34:35.520 --> 0:34:38.399 wish everybody could see the interview Donald Trump. They would 0:34:38.400 --> 0:34:41.520 Bara Walters and around the year two thousand when he 0:34:41.560 --> 0:34:44.640 was telling her what he thought about immigration, and he 0:34:44.760 --> 0:34:47.719 said the problem is that if a Mexican comes into 0:34:47.760 --> 0:34:49.600 the US and the bass of dirt and own it. 0:34:49.920 --> 0:34:51.759 The problem is if the green gold go south of 0:34:51.840 --> 0:34:53.920 the border, he can't buy property and own it. He 0:34:53.920 --> 0:34:56.080 can only lease it for a hundred years. But if 0:34:56.120 --> 0:34:58.440 the local mayor governor lakes that, they can take it 0:34:58.520 --> 0:35:01.840 from him. And so that kind of stops progress. And 0:35:01.920 --> 0:35:04.319 so he said he thinks the average Mexican is a 0:35:04.360 --> 0:35:08.759 wonderful person, hard worker, christian, loves their family and wants prosperity. 0:35:09.200 --> 0:35:11.960 But they're surrounded by a corrupt government in cartels and 0:35:12.400 --> 0:35:15.520 they're just in a world of hurt down there. He said, 0:35:15.560 --> 0:35:18.200 what I would do is that say in Mexico, congratulations 0:35:18.280 --> 0:35:21.680 here the citty first state. And if the you know 0:35:21.960 --> 0:35:24.200 right now, if they gave the Mexicans a chance to 0:35:24.280 --> 0:35:26.400 vote they want to be a city first state. I 0:35:26.440 --> 0:35:29.080 think they jumped on it. And if they did, what 0:35:29.160 --> 0:35:33.040 do you think Venezuela or Taiwan or Crimea would do 0:35:33.080 --> 0:35:36.319 if they had opportunity, It becomes you know, a U. 0:35:36.440 --> 0:35:39.920 S state. So Trump to go around the world and 0:35:40.040 --> 0:35:44.000 change stuff, and uh, that would put all these other 0:35:44.280 --> 0:35:47.120 countries on notice. I think it would be fantastic if 0:35:47.120 --> 0:35:50.080 people see what Trump said back then, all right, well Wayne, 0:35:50.120 --> 0:35:52.399 I appreciate you thinking outside the box, my friend.

Let Frank, You're a great American again. 0:37:34.000 --> 0:37:43.680 This is the Buck Sexton Show. Analysts, No, we need 0:37:43.960 --> 0:37:50.480 to make public colleges and universities tuition free. We are 0:37:50.480 --> 0:37:53.560 the only major country on Earth that doesn't guarantee healthcare 0:37:53.600 --> 0:37:56.640 to all of our people. While depending on your income, 0:37:56.719 --> 0:38:00.160 your taxes may go up to pay for this publicly 0:38:00.280 --> 0:38:05.239 funded program, that expense will be more than offset by 0:38:05.280 --> 0:38:08.600 the money you are saving by the elimination of private 0:38:08.680 --> 0:38:13.480 insurance costs. It's an enormous honor to stand with each 0:38:13.480 --> 0:38:17.400 of you to say never again in America does anyone 0:38:17.600 --> 0:38:22.680 go bankrupt just because they got sick free health care 0:38:22.719 --> 0:38:26.960 for everybody. Baby. That's the promise of the Democrats these days. Medicare, 0:38:27.120 --> 0:38:31.920 Medicare for all, as Bernie says, medicare for all. Well, 0:38:33.120 --> 0:38:34.840 problem with that, of course, as you know, it's not free. 0:38:36.080 --> 0:38:40.120 And this is something that that sounds good, and it 0:38:40.400 --> 0:38:45.640 is increasingly a rallying cry of the Bernie Warren Elkasio 0:38:45.800 --> 0:38:50.239 Cortes wing of the Democrat Party. But you know what's 0:38:50.239 --> 0:38:53.640 amazing about this, folks, none of them know what it 0:38:53.719 --> 0:39:00.680 would cost. In fact, Bernie Sanders, via spokesperson, has admitted, 0:39:01.480 --> 0:39:04.399 I don't know what it would cost. They don't know 0:39:05.320 --> 0:39:09.680 how much money it would really take to do medicare 0:39:10.480 --> 0:39:15.359 for all. M They just they do not know. Well, 0:39:15.400 --> 0:39:18.680 now we have some idea thanks to the Merctis Center, 0:39:18.719 --> 0:39:24.160 a libertarian think tank at George Mason University, which is 0:39:24.239 --> 0:39:27.320 I believe paid for by in part at least receives 0:39:27.360 --> 0:39:30.520 money from the Coke Foundation and the Coke and Coke 0:39:30.960 --> 0:39:36.719 also sponsors my show Rising, So full disclosure there. It's 0:39:36.719 --> 0:39:38.840 fun to do full disclosure stuff. Now It's like, I 0:39:38.840 --> 0:39:44.040 feel so corporate, you know. But they've done this cost 0:39:44.080 --> 0:39:46.520 analysis and here's what they find. Out for who wants 0:39:46.520 --> 0:39:49.480 to take a guess, what would it cost for medicare 0:39:49.600 --> 0:39:56.200 for all thirty two point six trillion dollars that's right, 0:39:56.320 --> 0:40:01.279 trillion with a T. That would be the cost of 0:40:01.280 --> 0:40:05.400 it to pay for this. Remember that then that's supposed 0:40:05.440 --> 0:40:08.800 to be the ten year costs from twenty two to 0:40:08.920 --> 0:40:14.279 twenty thirty one after an initial phase in, and the 0:40:14.320 --> 0:40:16.960 increases in federal spending over ten years range from twenty 0:40:16.960 --> 0:40:20.280 four point seven trillion to thirty four point seven trillion. 0:40:21.440 --> 0:40:24.600 So let's call it a roughly thirty trillion dollars is 0:40:24.640 --> 0:40:26.640 what it would cost to do that? What it would 0:40:26.680 --> 0:40:29.640 cost in an overall spending the economy. How would you 0:40:29.719 --> 0:40:34.360 do this given what our current budget is and given 0:40:34.400 --> 0:40:39.160 what the the the stresses already are of having such 0:40:39.200 --> 0:40:41.759 a large debt. We are over twenty twillion dollars in debt, 0:40:42.800 --> 0:40:45.360 and you'd basically be looking at a doubling of the 0:40:45.400 --> 0:40:48.600 income and corporate text that then that's just to try 0:40:48.640 --> 0:40:51.200 to make the numbers work, and you're looking at having 0:40:52.239 --> 0:40:56.080 Sweden level taxation, and as I've been saying, Sweden and 0:40:56.120 --> 0:40:58.120 Denmark and these countries at the Bernie centers of the 0:40:58.120 --> 0:41:00.880 world's point to as, oh, look at how well it 0:41:00.920 --> 0:41:04.359 works there. They're moving away from their model, which they 0:41:04.400 --> 0:41:07.560 have not had for very long by the way of 0:41:07.600 --> 0:41:11.399 these massive welfare states, because they view it as unsustainable. 0:41:12.400 --> 0:41:16.160 They recognize mathematically sensustainable. In the case of Norway, they 0:41:16.200 --> 0:41:19.279 have so much in a sovereign wealth fond that it 0:41:19.360 --> 0:41:23.479 offsets a lot of their welfare spending. But these aren't 0:41:23.520 --> 0:41:26.480 truly socialist countries. As I've noted. They're not socialists in 0:41:26.480 --> 0:41:28.080 the sense that the government is in control of the 0:41:28.120 --> 0:41:31.799 means of production. The government has nationalized industries. They are 0:41:31.920 --> 0:41:38.440 high tax social welfare states. High tax, though, is where 0:41:38.440 --> 0:41:40.399 they start to run into some real problems for folks. 0:41:40.440 --> 0:41:42.160 And this is where the Democrats, this is where all 0:41:42.160 --> 0:41:48.120 of a sudden they have to deal with the unpopular 0:41:48.200 --> 0:41:50.080 aspects of this, or at least they should have to 0:41:50.120 --> 0:41:54.399 deal with it, because it's not enough to tax the rich. 0:41:54.800 --> 0:42:01.800 You will not get thirty trillion dollars of additional revenue, 0:42:01.840 --> 0:42:03.480 which is a word I hate, because what they mean 0:42:03.480 --> 0:42:05.480 by that is money that we are taking from you 0:42:05.800 --> 0:42:09.040 under threat of force. That's what taxation is. You don't 0:42:09.040 --> 0:42:10.719 pay it, they're gonna come and take you and take 0:42:10.760 --> 0:42:14.279 away your freedom and take away your stuff. Uh. You're 0:42:14.280 --> 0:42:16.799 not gonna gett t dollars by raising the marginal tax 0:42:16.880 --> 0:42:19.320 rate on the one percent. No, no, no, no, no. 0:42:20.640 --> 0:42:22.920 Everybody listening to this. If you were going to have 0:42:22.920 --> 0:42:27.640 a Medicare for all system, everybody listening to this would 0:42:28.320 --> 0:42:31.520 be looking at an increase in their in their income 0:42:31.560 --> 0:42:35.160 tax increase probably in their state taxes as well. Just 0:42:35.200 --> 0:42:38.839 taxes across the board would would go up. Uh. And 0:42:38.920 --> 0:42:42.719 if you were making you know, to a hundred and 0:42:42.760 --> 0:42:45.239 fifty thousand dollars a year, you would have to pay 0:42:45.280 --> 0:42:49.680 substantially more in taxes. So that's gonna cover a lot 0:42:49.719 --> 0:42:51.359 of us. Right, We're all gonna sit there and think 0:42:51.920 --> 0:42:56.319 it's gonna hurt. Uh. And then you get into what 0:42:56.360 --> 0:42:57.880 would that also mean? What does that mean for the 0:42:57.880 --> 0:43:01.080 broader health care system? You know, one of the problems 0:43:01.120 --> 0:43:03.280 that I see with the way that the left approaches 0:43:03.360 --> 0:43:05.719 health care is is that one of the one of 0:43:05.760 --> 0:43:07.600 the central let me even step back further from that, 0:43:09.080 --> 0:43:12.200 a central false promise of the Democrat Party today, and 0:43:12.239 --> 0:43:17.719 it's really a fallacy of collectivism as embodied by the 0:43:17.760 --> 0:43:20.839 Democrat Party, but a central fallacies that they can protect you, 0:43:21.239 --> 0:43:25.000 that it is their job to protect you from bad choices, 0:43:26.640 --> 0:43:29.839 that they can make bad choices something that will not 0:43:29.920 --> 0:43:33.920 really affect you, and that that is their role. Uh. 0:43:34.000 --> 0:43:36.560 And also they can protect you from the realities of 0:43:36.600 --> 0:43:40.319 other people's choices. And you see this with the way 0:43:40.360 --> 0:43:42.759 the health care market would work if everyone's bills, if 0:43:42.760 --> 0:43:45.920 your healthcare bills were being paid by somebody else wholes 0:43:46.120 --> 0:43:51.600 always in their entirety, you would have lower incentives. I 0:43:51.640 --> 0:43:55.759 would have lower incentives to try and stay healthy. I 0:43:55.800 --> 0:44:00.640 would have no financial incentive to make lifestyle choices that 0:44:00.680 --> 0:44:03.560 are more more conducive to good health. Uh. You know, 0:44:03.640 --> 0:44:05.279 and this is where you start to run a problem 0:44:05.320 --> 0:44:08.160 with people don't like the personal responsibility aspect of health 0:44:08.200 --> 0:44:10.279 care and healthcare spending. Look, I'm all in favor of 0:44:10.360 --> 0:44:15.239 health insurance, meaning that when somebody has a you know, 0:44:15.360 --> 0:44:19.320 we should basically all have insurance. We should we should 0:44:19.320 --> 0:44:22.560 all have a health care marketplace where you know you're 0:44:22.600 --> 0:44:24.200 you're you. Just like you do with a car, you 0:44:24.239 --> 0:44:28.799 pay a certain amount and above a certain threshold, you know, 0:44:28.840 --> 0:44:33.080 the insurance kicks in. But you know, our first cost 0:44:33.200 --> 0:44:36.000 after you know, housing probably or maybe it's our first 0:44:36.040 --> 0:44:40.320 cost even before housing, should be preparation for some level 0:44:40.440 --> 0:44:44.719 of you know, medical coverage for ourselves. You know, that 0:44:44.760 --> 0:44:47.280 should be baked into our expenses. I mean, there's notion 0:44:47.320 --> 0:44:49.840 of going and paying twenty dollars or fifteen dollars or 0:44:49.840 --> 0:44:51.440 whatever it is. You pay as a copay all the time, 0:44:51.440 --> 0:44:55.520 and that's your only that's the only dollars and cents 0:44:55.560 --> 0:44:58.080 that you feel exchanging hands over your health care. That's 0:44:58.080 --> 0:45:00.440 a bad the bad habit where all and look I'm 0:45:00.480 --> 0:45:02.919 in it too, that's a bad habit we're in. Though. 0:45:05.040 --> 0:45:09.200 The truth is that we are generally sheltered from the 0:45:09.239 --> 0:45:13.480 realities of our healthcare costs in ways that distort what's 0:45:13.480 --> 0:45:17.200 really going on. And that's not good. That's not good. 0:45:17.239 --> 0:45:19.520 We should all be covered above five thousand or ten 0:45:19.560 --> 0:45:24.279 thousand dollars of legitimate healthcare expenditure, and below that we 0:45:24.320 --> 0:45:27.480 should all be paying for it. Like you would with 0:45:27.520 --> 0:45:30.040 a car. You don't. You don't send a note into 0:45:30.040 --> 0:45:33.200 your insure when you need new gas. You don't send 0:45:33.239 --> 0:45:36.600 a note into your insure. If you're you know you 0:45:36.600 --> 0:45:38.839 you need to replace your stereo system or something. I mean, 0:45:38.880 --> 0:45:41.799 you know that's on you. But if you if your 0:45:41.840 --> 0:45:44.160 car you know, hits a tree going forty miles an hour, 0:45:44.320 --> 0:45:45.799 Like yeah, then you said, you know, then you hit 0:45:45.800 --> 0:45:48.480 the insurance. We all need that coverage. And I agree 0:45:48.520 --> 0:45:50.279 with that. I mean, that's a smart thing to do, 0:45:51.600 --> 0:45:53.200 and that should be made. But it would be made 0:45:53.200 --> 0:45:56.040 more available and costs would go down if we allowed 0:45:56.040 --> 0:46:00.560 the free market to work for everything below that catastrophic threshold. 0:46:01.080 --> 0:46:03.600 But people have gotten used to this notion of somebody 0:46:03.600 --> 0:46:05.759 else is gonna pay for your healthcare. Somebody else is 0:46:05.800 --> 0:46:08.520 gonna pay for your health care. And I'm gonna make 0:46:08.560 --> 0:46:11.560 myself really unpopular right now. But Medicare is part of 0:46:11.600 --> 0:46:15.399 the problem. Yes, I'm gonna say it, and I get 0:46:15.440 --> 0:46:18.120 I get angry. People that know that I love them 0:46:18.160 --> 0:46:19.960 and they love me. Listen to show they get mad 0:46:19.960 --> 0:46:21.400 at me when I said this. But I'm telling you 0:46:21.440 --> 0:46:24.920 the truth. Medicare is part of the problem because the 0:46:25.000 --> 0:46:31.440 average Medicare recipient will take out twice in benefits what 0:46:31.560 --> 0:46:36.200 they paid in over their entire life cycle of Medicare taxes, 0:46:36.880 --> 0:46:40.280 So you're getting double average. Now that's not true for everybody, 0:46:40.280 --> 0:46:42.640 but that's the average Medicare recipient is taken out twice 0:46:42.640 --> 0:46:45.520 and a huge chunk of that is very very latent 0:46:45.600 --> 0:46:49.040 life end of life care, huge chunk of that piece. 0:46:50.280 --> 0:46:53.760 So somebody else is actually and that somebody else is us, 0:46:54.560 --> 0:46:57.160 meaning generations that will not us as some of you 0:46:57.320 --> 0:47:00.000 are getting Medicare right now and now, by the way, 0:47:00.040 --> 0:47:02.120 is the government's forced us all into this situation and 0:47:02.239 --> 0:47:04.480 this is this is government planning. So this isn't I 0:47:04.480 --> 0:47:07.360 feel like sometimes I talk about entitlements and Medicare and healthcare, 0:47:07.400 --> 0:47:10.200 people feel like I'm calling out into I'm calling an individual. Look, 0:47:10.200 --> 0:47:13.040 I'm gonna want Medicare too, right, I'm paying my taxes now, 0:47:13.080 --> 0:47:14.879 I'm gonna want it. This is the promise they've made, 0:47:15.400 --> 0:47:17.239 you know, same thing with Social Security. I'm gonna want it. 0:47:17.320 --> 0:47:19.160 Probably won't be there by the time I retire, but 0:47:19.920 --> 0:47:23.040 I'm gonna want those things. I'm gonna feel I'm going 0:47:23.080 --> 0:47:25.520 to feel entitled to those things because the government's made 0:47:25.520 --> 0:47:27.520 me a promise and they have to keep up there 0:47:27.600 --> 0:47:28.960 under the bargain. And I know with a lot of 0:47:29.000 --> 0:47:31.839 you who are on or getting Medicare right now, you 0:47:31.840 --> 0:47:33.799 feel like government made me a promise, took money out 0:47:33.800 --> 0:47:35.799 of my paycheck for you know, forty years. Damn it. 0:47:35.800 --> 0:47:38.279 It's time. I get it. But I'm just saying from 0:47:38.280 --> 0:47:43.680 a long term sustainability aspect of it, Medicare relies on 0:47:43.840 --> 0:47:46.760 future generations picking up a big piece of that tab. 0:47:46.880 --> 0:47:51.480 That's just the truth. So everyone like somebody else to 0:47:51.480 --> 0:47:54.239 pay for their healthcare. Everyone wants, you know, and I look, 0:47:54.280 --> 0:47:56.759 I feel the same way, right I. I have had 0:47:56.800 --> 0:47:59.919 that experience of going into a doctor's office and pay 0:48:00.000 --> 0:48:03.120 in twenty bucks and getting really good care and being like, wow, 0:48:03.120 --> 0:48:04.520 I've got great. That's actually when I work for the 0:48:04.520 --> 0:48:07.520 federal government, my insurance was great. That's one of the 0:48:07.560 --> 0:48:09.879 things I miss about the federal government, actually insurance. It's 0:48:09.920 --> 0:48:15.000 just fantastic. Uh changes again the private sector. When I 0:48:15.040 --> 0:48:18.920 was at the NYPD, my insurance was like not insurance, 0:48:19.160 --> 0:48:22.200 it was. It was Obamacare before there was Obamacare. It's 0:48:22.360 --> 0:48:26.720 stunk anyway. So I've also had that experience of, yeah, 0:48:26.760 --> 0:48:30.000 this visit is not covered, even though obviously it's medically necessary. 0:48:30.120 --> 0:48:33.000 Can you give us eight hundred dollars thanks? I'm like, 0:48:33.680 --> 0:48:35.440 I guess I have a credit card I could put 0:48:35.440 --> 0:48:38.880 it on. I've had that experience too. But but the 0:48:38.920 --> 0:48:41.680 cost of this has to matter, because the cost always matters. 0:48:42.160 --> 0:48:44.960 It's just a question of who. Somebody always pays, just 0:48:45.000 --> 0:48:48.800 a question of who. And Bernie Sanders for all the 0:48:48.800 --> 0:48:50.680 promises about how it's just gonna be the rich, that 0:48:50.760 --> 0:48:53.680 is a lie. And think of all the waste and 0:48:53.680 --> 0:48:57.520 fraud and abuse right now. Medicare, because it's a government 0:48:57.520 --> 0:49:02.279 administered program, has roughly six to eighty billion dollars a 0:49:02.360 --> 0:49:07.600 year in fraud, including the close friend of New Jersey 0:49:07.600 --> 0:49:10.800 Senator Bob Menendez governor I mean Dr Meligan, who was 0:49:10.840 --> 0:49:13.439 an ophthalmologist in Florida who did an eighty million dollar 0:49:13.520 --> 0:49:18.040 scam on Medicare. But somehow they were just friends. Menendez 0:49:18.080 --> 0:49:19.600 had a hung Why do you pointed that action? By 0:49:19.640 --> 0:49:21.680 the way, I got that correction. I said he was acquitted. 0:49:21.680 --> 0:49:23.120 He was not acquitted. It was a hung It was 0:49:23.160 --> 0:49:26.160 a hung jury. So thank you for the correction. Uh, 0:49:26.239 --> 0:49:30.439 Menendez had a hung jury that chose not to retriumph um. 0:49:30.560 --> 0:49:34.040 But this program would have a tremendous amount of waste, 0:49:34.080 --> 0:49:36.719 fraud and abuse in it. I think healthcare standards would 0:49:36.719 --> 0:49:39.120 go down dramatically. And I just put it this way. 0:49:39.480 --> 0:49:42.919 You know right now, I mean, haven't forbid. You're sitting there, 0:49:43.560 --> 0:49:45.920 you know you find out that you have a life 0:49:45.920 --> 0:49:50.080 threatening illness. Would you rather be sitting wherever you are 0:49:50.080 --> 0:49:51.600 in the United States, You'd rather be sitting in the 0:49:51.680 --> 0:49:53.920 United Kingdom and hoping the National Health Service has got 0:49:53.960 --> 0:49:57.400 you covered. I think a lot of you know, I 0:49:57.400 --> 0:50:01.440 think I think the answer is pretty clear. And Bernie Sanders, 0:50:01.600 --> 0:50:04.600 they're offering a mirage, just like the mirage of land 0:50:04.640 --> 0:50:07.319 redistribution in a place like Venezuela, or it's happening so 0:50:07.360 --> 0:50:09.480 many countries right We're gonna give more of the land 0:50:09.560 --> 0:50:12.080 to the people, to the poor people. They'll farm it better, 0:50:12.080 --> 0:50:15.840 they'll do a better job with it. No, this leads 0:50:15.920 --> 0:50:20.600 to disaster. Um, we are still in the early stages 0:50:20.640 --> 0:50:24.080 some of these European social welfare state experiments that we've 0:50:24.080 --> 0:50:28.200 seen going on. We're we're in the early innings of 0:50:28.200 --> 0:50:30.040 how that's really going to turn out. I think that 0:50:30.080 --> 0:50:32.360 they're all that they have all been turning away from it. 0:50:33.960 --> 0:50:36.319 They have realized that they can't continue on with what 0:50:36.400 --> 0:50:39.840 they have. And then I would also point out, and 0:50:39.880 --> 0:50:42.000 maybe this feels a little secondary to all this, but 0:50:43.800 --> 0:50:47.239 Sweden coming up with a lot of great new, great 0:50:47.239 --> 0:50:50.160 new pharmaceuticals these days, Sweden doing a lot to cure cancer. 0:50:52.360 --> 0:50:55.640 You think that an HIV vaccine is going to come 0:50:55.760 --> 0:51:01.279 from Norway or the United States more likely? You think 0:51:01.360 --> 0:51:05.000 that incredible breakthroughs in medical technology that will give people 0:51:05.040 --> 0:51:09.359 back their lives, are they more likely to come from 0:51:09.440 --> 0:51:11.879 US or from some tiny socialist countries in Europe. See 0:51:11.920 --> 0:51:16.040 I just did it, democratic social socialist countries in Europe. 0:51:17.719 --> 0:51:19.200 I think we all know the answer to that too. 0:51:20.320 --> 0:51:24.960 But thirty trillion dollars everybody would have to pay. Everyone's 0:51:25.160 --> 0:51:29.120 paycheck would get just gobbled up by the government so 0:51:29.200 --> 0:51:31.799 that you would have access to healthcare. And by the way, 0:51:31.840 --> 0:51:34.640 by the time the generations who are young and who 0:51:34.640 --> 0:51:37.040 are and they're earning in their peak earning years. When 0:51:37.080 --> 0:51:39.400 I say young, I mean peak earning years, by the 0:51:39.440 --> 0:51:42.680 time they might be eligible for Sanders Medicare for all, 0:51:42.760 --> 0:51:45.719 we'd realized this is crazy, this is a catastrophe, and 0:51:45.719 --> 0:51:48.520 they'll have given away their their best earning years, they're 0:51:48.680 --> 0:51:53.440 their most productive years in their careers to the government. 0:51:53.440 --> 0:51:56.640 In large part, you want to work for Uncle Sam 0:51:56.680 --> 0:51:58.800 for six months of the year. That's what Bernie Sanders 0:51:58.840 --> 0:52:04.120 is offering for You. Show up, do your job every day, 0:52:04.600 --> 0:52:07.600 work hard, deal with annoying bosses, deal with the possibility 0:52:07.640 --> 0:52:09.520 of being fired, and all the other things that we 0:52:09.560 --> 0:52:13.080 all know come from work. Do all that for six 0:52:13.120 --> 0:52:17.640 months of the year, and then on the first day 0:52:17.680 --> 0:52:20.399 after that six month period, the second then you get 0:52:20.440 --> 0:52:23.319 to actually start putting money in your bank account to 0:52:23.440 --> 0:52:27.120 feed your family, to pay your rent. Is that the 0:52:27.120 --> 0:52:28.759 country you want to live in? Do you think that 0:52:28.760 --> 0:52:31.080 will be a better or more prosperous country. That is 0:52:31.120 --> 0:52:33.720 the country that Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren and Okazy 0:52:33.840 --> 0:52:35.440 Cortez and all the rest of them are offering to you. 0:52:36.280 --> 0:52:39.520 Paying about half of your income in taxes no matter 0:52:39.600 --> 0:52:43.160 what you're earning, doesn't sound like fun to me. Doesn't 0:52:43.160 --> 0:52:46.120 sound free at all. It actually sounds like the antithesis 0:52:46.120 --> 0:52:53.920 of free or freedom. We'll be right back. The FBI 0:52:54.000 --> 0:52:56.840 calls home title theft one of the fastest growing crimes. 0:52:56.880 --> 0:53:00.680 Brace yourself, because having your credit card stolen is nothing 0:53:01.000 --> 0:53:03.200 compared to the hell that you are in for once 0:53:03.239 --> 0:53:08.040 an identity thief takes control of your home's title.

You have a whole bunch of Democrats who 0:54:08.040 --> 0:54:11.400 are either college professors or lawyers who don't have a clue, 0:54:11.719 --> 0:54:14.520 who have never created a job, who have a theory 0:54:14.640 --> 0:54:18.200 that they call socialism, which is basically big government bureaucrats 0:54:18.239 --> 0:54:22.000 running your life. Uh. They openly despised business and attacked 0:54:22.080 --> 0:54:25.040 business all the time, and then they are surprised that 0:54:25.040 --> 0:54:28.120 that doesn't encourage people to create jobs. Then you get 0:54:28.120 --> 0:54:32.440 a brand new president who is a businessman himself, an entrepreneur, 0:54:32.880 --> 0:54:36.799 a job creator. He gets the process. He believes in 0:54:37.320 --> 0:54:40.640 you keeping the money you create, so you are actually 0:54:40.719 --> 0:54:43.880 have an interest in going out. Small businesses spring up 0:54:43.920 --> 0:54:47.040 all over the country. Uh. We're just started visiting my 0:54:47.120 --> 0:54:49.680 mother in law and Wisconsin. Every small town you go 0:54:49.760 --> 0:54:53.520 through has signs of help wanted. Uh. And I think 0:54:53.520 --> 0:54:56.040 that this is such a huge change from the Obama 0:54:56.120 --> 0:54:59.080 years where there was no economic growth. You know, the 0:54:59.120 --> 0:55:01.720 Obama team did great job if you love food stamps, 0:55:01.920 --> 0:55:04.640 and a terrible job if you love jobs. Uh. And 0:55:04.880 --> 0:55:08.480 the truth is the Trump team is the opposite. Look 0:55:08.480 --> 0:55:10.600 at new Land and ripped there. I let you I 0:55:10.640 --> 0:55:12.399 really gave new a lot of air thunders. I thought 0:55:12.440 --> 0:55:15.560 that was particularly of the nude rants. That was a 0:55:15.560 --> 0:55:19.560 particularly strong one. Mac. In Texas, you've been very patiently 0:55:19.600 --> 0:55:21.160 waiting for I meant to get you in before. What 0:55:21.200 --> 0:55:24.040 have you got for us? Mac, Well, I have been 0:55:24.080 --> 0:55:27.200 patiently waiting, Buck, And let me just say this. I 0:55:28.000 --> 0:55:30.880 think I feel as if we have a kinship you 0:55:30.920 --> 0:55:33.840 and I because we're both Irish, were both Catholic, and 0:55:34.280 --> 0:55:36.440 you're probably somebody I would like to go play darts 0:55:36.440 --> 0:55:41.600 with sometimes. But your bumper music has got to improve. 0:55:43.440 --> 0:55:46.480 The bumper music, Okay, we can we can improve. We're 0:55:46.480 --> 0:55:48.359 actually trying to do an overhaul the music, so I'll 0:55:48.360 --> 0:55:51.919 take I'll take that under advisement. I'll send you a link. 0:55:51.960 --> 0:55:54.400 But that's not why I called.

Malarkey is actually 0:56:00.880 --> 0:56:05.080 an Irish surname. The clan still with the scene not 0:56:05.200 --> 0:56:08.120 a k in case the social justice warriors are listening. 0:56:08.360 --> 0:56:13.040 The clan is in southwestern uh Ireland and they are 0:56:13.120 --> 0:56:15.799 known as the Malarkey's and you can look up their 0:56:15.800 --> 0:56:18.680 coat of arms and everything. How it got to be 0:56:19.239 --> 0:56:23.360 a pejorative for the equivalent of vold dash or whatever. 0:56:24.040 --> 0:56:27.600 Uh not to use the words that Wayne used earlier. Uh. 0:56:27.800 --> 0:56:31.480 The the the reality is, I think that came from 0:56:31.520 --> 0:56:35.120 the Boston police at the same time they developed the 0:56:35.239 --> 0:56:41.680 term patty wagon, which is also pejorative term a police 0:56:41.719 --> 0:56:45.319 wagon full of of Irish people named Patty.

So I 0:58:30.120 --> 0:58:32.840 wrote this piece in on the Hill. You can go 0:58:32.920 --> 0:58:35.360 read it on the Hill dot com. And it's in 0:58:35.520 --> 0:58:42.320 response to this meeting with Saulsburger, the publisher of The 0:58:42.360 --> 0:58:44.480 New York Times, that the title my pieces in the 0:58:44.560 --> 0:58:50.440 Age of Trump, the press just can't stop playing the victim. 0:58:50.480 --> 0:58:55.040 And it's true, folks, it really is the case that 0:58:55.040 --> 0:58:59.240 that the media loves too uh talker and people are 0:58:59.240 --> 0:59:03.120 about Europa. The media not really folks. You know, I'm 0:59:03.160 --> 0:59:07.480 I don't The White House Corresponds Association's not beaten down 0:59:07.560 --> 0:59:09.959 my door, and I will not go to their dinner. 0:59:09.960 --> 0:59:11.760 I would not participate in it, and I said that 0:59:11.880 --> 0:59:14.240 before The Hill. My organization I work for now has 0:59:14.280 --> 0:59:16.320 said publicly if they won't participate in it, I think 0:59:16.320 --> 0:59:20.680 it's I think it's uh, it's gross, it's unseemly, it's 0:59:20.720 --> 0:59:24.880 kind of pathetic. H So anyway. But I'm not a 0:59:24.880 --> 0:59:26.800 part of that media, and I'm also not a part 0:59:26.840 --> 0:59:28.320 of you or I'm just bringing you the facts, so 0:59:28.360 --> 0:59:30.760 I don't have any opinions or thoughts. I'm just the facts. 0:59:30.840 --> 0:59:34.440 You know, that's a legacy media trick. It's not true. 0:59:34.440 --> 0:59:38.480 It's a fraud. It's a fraud. I saw last week 0:59:38.520 --> 0:59:41.360 Mark Levin called out Jake Tapper on Twitter said he's 0:59:41.360 --> 0:59:47.560 a fraud. I five bark Levin. So here we go 0:59:47.800 --> 0:59:51.080 the the fake news and all the freak outs about this. First, 0:59:51.080 --> 0:59:53.000 it was the term fake news that the news media 0:59:53.160 --> 0:59:56.919 said what felt was a threat to our democracy. Now 0:59:56.960 --> 0:59:59.560 it's Trump's references to the enemy of the people that 0:59:59.600 --> 1:00:03.200 has of in the press corps into paroxysms of exaggerated fear. 1:00:04.040 --> 1:00:06.120 That's from the piece here. You know, they've got this 1:00:06.160 --> 1:00:09.680 guy Sulzberger meeting with Trump, and the whole purpose of 1:00:09.680 --> 1:00:12.400 the meeting, we're told, is to tell Trump that they 1:00:12.440 --> 1:00:16.760 need to tone things down a little bit because, uh, 1:00:16.960 --> 1:00:21.880 journalists are under threat. Essentially, journalists are are scared right now, 1:00:21.920 --> 1:00:23.760 there's gonna be violence. And I sit here, I think, 1:00:23.800 --> 1:00:27.640 hold on our journalists doing a dangerous job. You probably 1:00:27.640 --> 1:00:30.320 get the sense from the media, and well from them, 1:00:30.360 --> 1:00:33.840 of course, but also from depictions of them and movie 1:00:33.840 --> 1:00:37.040 and TV. You know, journalists such a dangerous job. Journalists 1:00:37.040 --> 1:00:38.600 have one of the least dangerous jobs I can think 1:00:38.640 --> 1:00:43.240 of in the country. Taxi drivers are under far greater 1:00:43.400 --> 1:00:47.040 threat in their professions than journalists are. There have been 1:00:47.120 --> 1:00:53.760 since eleven journalists killed in America who were doing their 1:00:53.840 --> 1:00:56.280 jobs or in some in some way targeted or or 1:00:56.400 --> 1:01:03.480 killed during their job. Eleven, folks. Since, as a journalist, 1:01:03.480 --> 1:01:05.880 you are more likely to be eaten by a shark 1:01:06.120 --> 1:01:09.280 than be attacked by a fellow American and killed by 1:01:09.320 --> 1:01:13.160 fellow American. Okay, it's just the numbers are staggeringly low, 1:01:13.160 --> 1:01:15.480 and you'll they go, oh my gosh. You have this 1:01:15.560 --> 1:01:20.920 guy from The Times, A G. Salzburger, who claimed that 1:01:20.960 --> 1:01:24.040 he told the President he was quote putting lives at risk, 1:01:24.680 --> 1:01:27.760 undermining the democratic ideals of our nation, and that it 1:01:27.800 --> 1:01:30.320 was eroding one of our country's greatest exports, a commitment 1:01:30.320 --> 1:01:36.200 to free speech. It was not just divisive, but increasingly dangerous. 1:01:36.240 --> 1:01:42.000 He says, Oh, wow, dangerous like putting people under threat? 1:01:42.200 --> 1:01:46.160 How is it dangerous? Is it dangerous to their relevancy? 1:01:46.280 --> 1:01:49.560 Is the dangerous to their careers or dangerous to their safeties. Either. 1:01:49.720 --> 1:01:52.480 They like to pretend that it's dangerous to their safety. 1:01:52.640 --> 1:01:56.760 And that's just a bunch of pearl clutching, pathetic nonsense, 1:01:57.280 --> 1:02:01.320 all right. D C journals and the political class, uh 1:02:01.480 --> 1:02:04.360 that they cover and well and that they consider themselves 1:02:04.360 --> 1:02:07.280 really a part of They can strut around ec or 1:02:07.280 --> 1:02:10.320 anywhere in the country with the same self satisfaction they've 1:02:10.360 --> 1:02:13.400 always had. All Right, just because of occasional Trump supporters 1:02:13.520 --> 1:02:16.120 calls them the fake news, doesn't mean that they're under threat. 1:02:16.320 --> 1:02:18.520 You know. For people who claim to care so much 1:02:18.600 --> 1:02:22.320 about the First Amendment, journalists in the era of Trump 1:02:22.720 --> 1:02:28.720 seem particularly shocked that their fellow Americans have First Amendment 1:02:28.800 --> 1:02:31.880 rights too. But you know, journalists like they like to 1:02:31.920 --> 1:02:35.640 have this martyrdom complex and and that's why they're they're 1:02:35.640 --> 1:02:38.000 taking all these positions now about oh, it's gonna lead 1:02:38.040 --> 1:02:39.880 to violence. You know. I just want to note that 1:02:40.560 --> 1:02:44.240 when I would say that Obama's rhetoric about and his 1:02:44.280 --> 1:02:48.080 administration's approach to police was going to lead to violence, 1:02:48.240 --> 1:02:51.360 and it did, they went from saying, oh, that will 1:02:51.400 --> 1:02:53.760 never happen to oh, we we we had no we 1:02:53.960 --> 1:03:00.440 in the media by propagating these themes of exact durrated 1:03:00.520 --> 1:03:04.720 racism and law enforcement. We had no role in and 1:03:04.880 --> 1:03:07.760 pushing these storylines that then turned into some members. There 1:03:07.760 --> 1:03:10.200 are people who said, yeah, because of Black Lives Matter, 1:03:10.240 --> 1:03:13.840 I'm gonna go out and the assassinated police officers that happened. 1:03:13.880 --> 1:03:15.680 That's not just a theory or that's not just you know, 1:03:15.720 --> 1:03:18.439 maybe that one day that did happen. But in that case, 1:03:18.440 --> 1:03:19.960 the media says, oh, no, we had no part in 1:03:20.000 --> 1:03:23.680 creating that climate. Now with Trump, he just calls them 1:03:23.680 --> 1:03:26.520 fake news. He's criticizing their work. Folks, when he says 1:03:26.520 --> 1:03:30.120 he's the they're the enemy of the people. He's not 1:03:30.160 --> 1:03:32.800 saying they're the military enemy of the people. He's just 1:03:32.840 --> 1:03:35.120 saying that they're the enemy of truth, which is what well, 1:03:35.160 --> 1:03:36.959 at least that's what I call see an end these days. 1:03:36.960 --> 1:03:39.600 But no one really thinks this is going to lead 1:03:39.640 --> 1:03:43.200 to violence, and it hasn't led to violence. Meanwhile, Trump 1:03:43.200 --> 1:03:46.040 supporters are being attacked for wearing MAGA hats and they're 1:03:46.080 --> 1:03:49.520 being spit on, and you know, Trump administration officials are 1:03:49.520 --> 1:03:52.560 being harassed and kicked out of establishments. On all that 1:03:52.640 --> 1:03:55.400 is happening. But we're supposed to worry about the press. 1:03:56.800 --> 1:04:01.200 The press is a very for hunt bunch. And I 1:04:01.280 --> 1:04:03.400 consider myself in that capacity too, because all of you 1:04:03.400 --> 1:04:04.640 listen to me. I get to do a job I 1:04:04.720 --> 1:04:07.320 love every day, so thank you. I am very fortunate. 1:04:07.960 --> 1:04:10.760 I don't walk around though, like these other guys do. 1:04:10.080 --> 1:04:14.400 There's so much threat. Yeah, I get death threats and 1:04:14.440 --> 1:04:17.240 people say terrible things to me. Who cares? Part of 1:04:17.280 --> 1:04:19.520 the job. What do you deal with? People are savages? 1:04:19.600 --> 1:04:22.360 You deal with it right this journalist though, Really you 1:04:22.400 --> 1:04:25.240 gotta bust out the world's smallest violin for them. Give 1:04:25.320 --> 1:04:28.240 me a break. New York Times saying, oh, they're under threat. 1:04:28.240 --> 1:04:32.320 They're not. They're under threat of irrelevance. That's the only threat. 1:04:32.440 --> 1:04:44.320 We'll be right back. Some of you may think that 1:04:44.440 --> 1:04:49.560 the whole Affirmtive Action college kerfuffle right now isn't something 1:04:49.640 --> 1:04:52.680 that really concerns you, or it's not that VEGA deal, 1:04:52.960 --> 1:04:55.880 or who really cares? Well, I want to tell you 1:04:55.960 --> 1:05:02.200 this does really matter because these university have become bloated 1:05:02.240 --> 1:05:06.800 with power and influence and money, and also they are 1:05:06.880 --> 1:05:11.040 pushing a lot of national level policy. And if the 1:05:11.160 --> 1:05:16.600 left loses on this admissions affirmative action battle, it'll affect 1:05:16.640 --> 1:05:19.560 a whole bunch of other social policy that they've been 1:05:19.600 --> 1:05:26.400 pushing that is essentially bias that they like, bias that 1:05:26.480 --> 1:05:30.040 they think is a good thing. Let me give you 1:05:30.040 --> 1:05:36.280 the latest on this one. Harvard has had to share 1:05:37.720 --> 1:05:43.320 some insider details about its admissions process, and first of all, 1:05:43.200 --> 1:05:47.240 you learn some of the jargon out there, lopping tips 1:05:47.360 --> 1:05:49.280 and the Z list. For example, this was the New 1:05:49.360 --> 1:05:56.240 York Times bias lawsuit explores Harvard's admission secrets. And what 1:05:56.400 --> 1:05:59.280 you see from this whole process is that there's a 1:05:59.400 --> 1:06:03.880 lot of of horse trading and shenanigans going on behind 1:06:03.960 --> 1:06:09.240 closed doors because there are far more highly qualified applicants 1:06:09.280 --> 1:06:13.600 for all these slots then there are slots to give 1:06:13.640 --> 1:06:17.840 to people. Here just some statistics. Forty thousand students apply 1:06:17.880 --> 1:06:20.320 each year to Harvard University, right the most famous university 1:06:20.360 --> 1:06:24.120 in the world. Two thousand are admitted for six hundred 1:06:24.120 --> 1:06:26.400 seats in the freshman class. The chances of admission are 1:06:26.480 --> 1:06:32.080 under five thirty five hundred students had perfect sa T 1:06:32.240 --> 1:06:36.640 math scores, twenty undred had perfect SAT verbal scores, and 1:06:36.760 --> 1:06:39.280 more than eight thousand had straight a's. Well, that just 1:06:39.280 --> 1:06:41.040 goes to show you, by the way, the need for 1:06:41.200 --> 1:06:45.240 standardized testing, because you know, if everybody's getting straight a's, 1:06:45.280 --> 1:06:46.880 too many people are getting straight a's, if you know 1:06:46.880 --> 1:06:49.440 what I mean. But the reason this is such a 1:06:49.440 --> 1:06:55.920 big fight is because the social justice left. And this 1:06:56.000 --> 1:06:58.120 is true at the highest level of the most elite 1:06:58.200 --> 1:07:02.320 levels of government and act ademia and professional life too. 1:07:02.800 --> 1:07:04.960 You know, I remember here, here's here's a quick aside. 1:07:05.040 --> 1:07:08.720 I had a friend who told me that he at 1:07:08.760 --> 1:07:12.400 a major company. This was this was years and years ago. 1:07:12.960 --> 1:07:18.320 He um said at a at a diversity event. He 1:07:18.360 --> 1:07:21.240 said it a diversity event to a student or to 1:07:21.360 --> 1:07:23.960 a recent hire brought in through a Remember they called 1:07:23.960 --> 1:07:27.240 it a diversity hiring event, and he said, oh, I'm 1:07:27.280 --> 1:07:29.919 just I'm I'm so glad that we're really we're really 1:07:30.000 --> 1:07:33.560 upping the diversity here. And the person who had been 1:07:33.640 --> 1:07:36.560 hired through the diversity event, that's what it was called, 1:07:37.240 --> 1:07:42.320 filed a complaint. Felt that by somebody saying that somebody 1:07:42.360 --> 1:07:46.360 was hired at the diversity event and therefore they were 1:07:46.400 --> 1:07:51.160 increasing their diversity, felt that was a slight mm hmm. 1:07:52.680 --> 1:07:54.880 Now I know that sounds like maybe something of a 1:07:55.480 --> 1:07:57.760 of just a random aside, but that really goes to 1:07:57.800 --> 1:08:00.000 the heart of what's going on with this whole form 1:08:00.000 --> 1:08:03.680 of action policy. You have people who are being given 1:08:03.720 --> 1:08:07.560 an advantage or a disadvantage because of their skin color. 1:08:08.440 --> 1:08:11.120 And yet, if you were to ever say to somebody, hey, 1:08:11.160 --> 1:08:13.600 were you given an advantage because of your skin color? 1:08:13.720 --> 1:08:19.240 That's racist. Meanwhile, the policy that Harvard engages in is 1:08:19.400 --> 1:08:24.439 and increasingly we see explicitly, yes, sometimes your skin color 1:08:24.640 --> 1:08:27.440 is going to be used to give you an advantage 1:08:27.520 --> 1:08:30.639 over other people. And the correllarory to that is your 1:08:30.680 --> 1:08:35.000 skin color will be a disadvantage in some cases if 1:08:35.040 --> 1:08:38.320 you are white or if you are Asia, Harvard can 1:08:38.320 --> 1:08:39.720 play all the games that it wants. And you could 1:08:39.720 --> 1:08:42.719 see they're trying. So oh, they're saying, there's are trade secrets. 1:08:42.720 --> 1:08:46.559 That's right, folks, Harvard and Harvard's admissions process is now 1:08:47.240 --> 1:08:51.120 considered a trade secret. Why there shouldn't it be the 1:08:51.160 --> 1:08:52.839 easiest thing in the world. We take the most impressive, 1:08:52.880 --> 1:08:55.920 highest achievers we can. Shouldn't that be the all? But 1:08:56.040 --> 1:08:59.240 let's basically that's not the policy. Harvard is engaged in 1:08:59.280 --> 1:09:03.680 this massive social engineering effort because they have too many 1:09:03.680 --> 1:09:05.559 students with perfect grades. They have too many students with 1:09:05.600 --> 1:09:09.800 perfect board scores, s A T scores, applying, they do 1:09:09.840 --> 1:09:12.599 all this other stuff, and that's where you get into lopping, 1:09:13.240 --> 1:09:16.040 tips and the Z list, as this New York Times 1:09:16.040 --> 1:09:20.160 piece says it. And these are the insider terms. And 1:09:20.200 --> 1:09:22.080 they have this at other schools too. They have different 1:09:22.400 --> 1:09:24.720 depends on what the school is and how they do it. 1:09:25.680 --> 1:09:29.479 But you know, lopping is when you have people that 1:09:29.520 --> 1:09:31.280 are on the bubble and you chopped them down, meaning 1:09:31.280 --> 1:09:33.400 that they're close to getting in, and you'd say we've 1:09:33.400 --> 1:09:35.760 got to just whittle this list down even more, they 1:09:35.800 --> 1:09:38.519 get lopped. A tip is somebody who gets a little 1:09:38.600 --> 1:09:42.360 extra advantage because of something. And the Z list is 1:09:42.520 --> 1:09:48.479 the essentially the front, you know, the the the the 1:09:48.520 --> 1:09:51.880 money the money list, somebody who knows somebody in what 1:09:51.920 --> 1:09:56.840 they call the advancement office, you know, which is if 1:09:56.920 --> 1:09:59.280 you're come from a really rich family or a really 1:09:59.360 --> 1:10:01.200 rich family wan you in, you might you might get 1:10:01.240 --> 1:10:03.479 on the Z list. So look, it's not just race 1:10:03.600 --> 1:10:06.720 that and I get that right, They built athletes get 1:10:06.720 --> 1:10:11.240 a preference, but again athletics is at least based on merit, uh. 1:10:11.320 --> 1:10:16.440 But athletes get preferences of people that have particular skills. Um, 1:10:16.479 --> 1:10:19.679 you can argue, and I'm open to it, that it's 1:10:19.720 --> 1:10:22.519 not part of a meritocracy to take the children of 1:10:22.520 --> 1:10:26.640 alumni called legacy admissions, or to take people who are 1:10:26.680 --> 1:10:29.439 just really rich. But I would say, yeah, but they're 1:10:29.479 --> 1:10:32.720 also they're they're running in effect that they say it's 1:10:32.720 --> 1:10:35.680 a nonprofit, but it really is a business, and they 1:10:35.720 --> 1:10:38.519 want money. And these professors paid themselves. These professors get 1:10:38.520 --> 1:10:40.880 paid very nice salaries or places like Harvard with really 1:10:40.920 --> 1:10:45.120 cushy benefits, So you know that they want money. And 1:10:45.240 --> 1:10:47.760 I'm not saying that's I'm not saying that's fair or right, 1:10:48.120 --> 1:10:51.720 but I do understand it. Um, then you have the 1:10:51.720 --> 1:10:54.400 whole racial angle and people up until now, and this 1:10:54.439 --> 1:10:56.360 is where this whole case really turns, because it's gonna 1:10:56.360 --> 1:10:57.840 go out the Supreme Court. Folks, this is a big deal. 1:10:57.880 --> 1:11:01.040 It's gonna affect national level policies effect if you have kids. 1:11:01.960 --> 1:11:05.479 The outcome of this challenge right now from students for 1:11:05.560 --> 1:11:12.760 admissions fairness, UH, could change the game of how these 1:11:12.760 --> 1:11:15.720 elite schools take people and and what their criteria are 1:11:15.760 --> 1:11:18.840 for admission. So as I continue to look at this 1:11:18.920 --> 1:11:22.000 I just want to note that, you know, Harvard says, well, 1:11:22.040 --> 1:11:24.280 we have this really complicated process with all this different 1:11:24.280 --> 1:11:29.320 stuff happening. Okay, that's all true, that's all fine, but uh, 1:11:30.120 --> 1:11:35.960 on the issue of race. They do pick some races 1:11:36.280 --> 1:11:41.519 as more appealing to their admissions process based on the 1:11:41.600 --> 1:11:44.479 numbers of you know, where they're applying for everything than others, 1:11:45.600 --> 1:11:51.960 and Asians get the the unfair deal as a result 1:11:52.000 --> 1:11:54.360 of this one. Asians in particularly and unfair and there's 1:11:54.360 --> 1:11:55.679 just no way around it. And when you look into 1:11:55.680 --> 1:11:57.920 some of the rhetoric that they use, they say, oh, 1:11:57.960 --> 1:12:00.280 this Asian seems and this was really. This is I 1:12:00.320 --> 1:12:04.480 think why this got so got so much attention today 1:12:04.680 --> 1:12:09.800 because it's it's in the personality metric that there that 1:12:09.840 --> 1:12:13.920 the admissions committed at Harvard is knocking Asians down, which 1:12:13.920 --> 1:12:16.320 starts to get into some stereotypes. Right. They'll talk about 1:12:16.320 --> 1:12:19.519 how an Asian was quote busy and bright but looks 1:12:19.560 --> 1:12:23.559 like many others, very busy but doesn't go the extra 1:12:23.640 --> 1:12:27.200 mile and looks like many others. These are all quotes 1:12:27.320 --> 1:12:30.000 from the admissions notes that have come out in this lawsuit. 1:12:30.080 --> 1:12:32.960 Now yet another was bright and busy, but it was 1:12:33.000 --> 1:12:35.559 a bit difficult to see what would hold him in 1:12:35.800 --> 1:12:38.400 during a lot, which means that when they do kind 1:12:38.400 --> 1:12:42.400 of a coloring of the admissions a lot, just a 1:12:42.479 --> 1:12:45.599 lot of trying to find reasons that are very flimsy 1:12:45.640 --> 1:12:48.160 to not take Asian kids with perfect grades and perfect 1:12:48.200 --> 1:12:51.799 SAT scores. A lot of twisting and knots. And then 1:12:52.000 --> 1:12:57.040 for other students of other ethnic backgrounds, you see, well, 1:12:57.080 --> 1:12:59.720 you know, the grades aren't great, but you know, the 1:12:59.840 --> 1:13:03.240 the children of immigrants, that's a big one. By the way, 1:13:03.240 --> 1:13:07.000 Oh that's right, the children of immigrants even better, children 1:13:07.000 --> 1:13:11.120 of illegal immigrants, that's right. That helps you get into Harvard. Now, 1:13:11.640 --> 1:13:16.160 so if your parents broke the law, you get a 1:13:16.160 --> 1:13:18.320 little extra. And remember I'm using Harvard as a standard. 1:13:18.360 --> 1:13:20.720 This is true of all these schools. Now, this is 1:13:20.720 --> 1:13:22.679 true across That was true it Yale, it's true at Stanford, 1:13:22.680 --> 1:13:24.360 it's true everywhere. This is what they're doing. This is 1:13:24.360 --> 1:13:27.680 now commonplace. Harvard is the industry leader. Trust me, this 1:13:27.720 --> 1:13:30.360 is happening elsewhere. But yeah, that's right. If your parents 1:13:30.400 --> 1:13:35.840 broke the law, you are more desirable then, you know, 1:13:35.920 --> 1:13:38.400 say somebody who comes from like a fourth generation family 1:13:38.400 --> 1:13:42.240 of military service in the Midwest. You know, you're not 1:13:42.280 --> 1:13:45.559 as desirable as somebody applying to Harvard as somebody who 1:13:46.120 --> 1:13:47.760 you know their parents broke the law and came here 1:13:47.920 --> 1:13:51.839 and are on public assistance. They're more desirable from Harvard's 1:13:51.840 --> 1:13:54.439 point of view. I think that's a tough thing for 1:13:54.439 --> 1:13:56.800 the American people to swallow. There's a reason Harvard has 1:13:56.800 --> 1:14:01.479 been fighting tooth and nail to avoid the disclosure of 1:14:01.520 --> 1:14:03.479 this information because they know it doesn't look it's not 1:14:03.520 --> 1:14:06.719 about trade secrets, it doesn't look good. And it's because 1:14:06.760 --> 1:14:12.439 you have these these defeat liberal snobs essentially of all 1:14:12.520 --> 1:14:17.519 backgrounds and races at these and these admissions committees that 1:14:17.560 --> 1:14:21.720 are instituting their own form of social engineering. And you know, 1:14:21.840 --> 1:14:23.680 some of you said, oh, bucket sounds. Why are you 1:14:23.680 --> 1:14:25.400 so hard on these schools. I've gotten some of these emails. 1:14:26.600 --> 1:14:28.120 For one, I mean, I went to Amhersts, so I 1:14:28.160 --> 1:14:30.200 know that I know the drill. I Amherst is just 1:14:30.400 --> 1:14:34.080 like all these other places. And too, I think that 1:14:34.160 --> 1:14:38.400 this is wrong, folks. This isn't a oh why didn't 1:14:38.439 --> 1:14:43.400 I uh, you know, I think there's often this effort 1:14:43.439 --> 1:14:45.000 to try and make it sound like this isn't a 1:14:45.000 --> 1:14:48.160 big deal. Somehow. This determines the course of a lot 1:14:48.200 --> 1:14:52.880 of people's lives. This determines in some part you're earning 1:14:52.920 --> 1:14:54.599 potential for the rest of your life. I mean, these 1:14:54.640 --> 1:14:58.599 schools are gatekeepers for the rest of society. Now, if 1:14:58.600 --> 1:15:00.280 you want a certain kind of job, a sort kind 1:15:00.280 --> 1:15:02.360 of plays, you need a fancy resident, You need a 1:15:02.360 --> 1:15:05.040 fancy degree at least to start out with on your 1:15:05.200 --> 1:15:09.240 on your CV. So they have tremendous power and authority 1:15:09.280 --> 1:15:11.240 in our society, and I think they're misusing, and I 1:15:11.240 --> 1:15:13.200 think they're acting in a way that is that is unethical. 1:15:13.200 --> 1:15:15.640 I'll never forget when the Supreme Court, when I was 1:15:15.680 --> 1:15:17.360 in college, looked at one of these decisions and just 1:15:17.600 --> 1:15:23.280 narrowly upheld race conscious admissions. The college president and emer said, well, 1:15:23.320 --> 1:15:25.559 even if this Supreme Court rules against us, we'll find 1:15:25.560 --> 1:15:27.960 a way around its breath. He said that in a 1:15:28.000 --> 1:15:31.120 whole big room full of people. I thought, Okay, so 1:15:31.160 --> 1:15:33.880 here we go. Liberals. When they win at the Supreme Court, 1:15:34.720 --> 1:15:37.880 it's gospel. When they lose the Supreme Court, it doesn't count. 1:15:38.840 --> 1:15:40.360 You'll see that a lot more coming up in the 1:15:40.360 --> 1:15:42.800 future of my friends, and we've got much more. So 1:15:42.920 --> 1:15:48.000 stay with Buck Sexton mission, decoding the news and disseminating information. 1:15:48.200 --> 1:15:54.360 Who is actionable intelligence. Make no mistake, American, You're a 1:15:54.400 --> 1:15:59.960 great American. Again. This is the Buck Sexton Show. Analysts, 1:16:00.000 --> 1:16:11.080 remember the animal Sexton Sexton. Look at this, Look at 1:16:11.080 --> 1:16:16.960 they's a good girl. You're a good little girl like you, Sophie. 1:16:17.960 --> 1:16:38.799 Look what does this say? Sweet dreams? Sweet dreams? Sofie 1:16:38.800 --> 1:16:42.880 out now you may be thinking it sounds like a 1:16:42.880 --> 1:16:47.240 pretty normal session of of somebody who is, you know, 1:16:47.680 --> 1:16:51.080 introducing a young child on the BBC. That's what that 1:16:51.120 --> 1:16:56.639 audio is from on the BBC to two toys. You know, Sophie, 1:16:56.720 --> 1:16:58.560 do you want to play with a little offender? Do 1:16:58.600 --> 1:17:01.400 you want to play with the little the selfie? Is 1:17:01.439 --> 1:17:04.719 that what you want? Uh? She didn't really sound quite 1:17:04.720 --> 1:17:07.400 like that, but close enough. Here's what they're not telling you. 1:17:07.439 --> 1:17:09.000 But I can see because I'm looking at the video 1:17:09.040 --> 1:17:11.800 and all the subtext or all the actual text. So 1:17:11.880 --> 1:17:15.880 if he's a boy, Sophie as a boy. The BBC 1:17:16.560 --> 1:17:20.240 put out this video over the weekend with the headline, 1:17:20.680 --> 1:17:24.320 well here it is. Are you sure you don't gender 1:17:24.439 --> 1:17:28.599 stereo type your children? We did an experiment to see 1:17:28.600 --> 1:17:32.840 what people really think of little boys and girls hashtag 1:17:33.400 --> 1:17:38.800 no more boys and girls, folks, we're already at the 1:17:38.840 --> 1:17:42.400 point where the progressive left. It's true in the UK, 1:17:42.520 --> 1:17:44.719 it's true in this country as well. In some ways, 1:17:44.720 --> 1:17:47.720 I think we're even further along on the transgender on 1:17:47.800 --> 1:17:52.360 the transgender social justice spectrum than Brittans. But I've been 1:17:52.360 --> 1:17:55.479 saying for a while that really the the end goal 1:17:55.800 --> 1:17:59.560 of much of what we see here is the eradication 1:18:00.840 --> 1:18:08.920 of gender differences through policy, ignoring the realities of gender 1:18:08.960 --> 1:18:12.519 differences that exist as a function of biology. And this 1:18:12.600 --> 1:18:14.439 is a perfect example of the mean. Now, now you've 1:18:14.439 --> 1:18:18.439 got this experiment where they've got a a boy and 1:18:18.479 --> 1:18:20.519 a girl, and they dress them differently, and they call 1:18:20.560 --> 1:18:22.479 them different names, and they have them playing with girl 1:18:22.560 --> 1:18:26.200 toys or boy toys, you know, if they're they basically 1:18:26.280 --> 1:18:28.599 mix and match, right, So the girl is being told 1:18:28.600 --> 1:18:30.559 to play with all the boy toys and all the 1:18:30.680 --> 1:18:34.000 you know, the dragons and the cars, and they're saying, oh, well, 1:18:34.080 --> 1:18:36.040 this is And by the way, they're not gonna like 1:18:36.120 --> 1:18:41.080 where this if they really push this, the the leftists 1:18:41.160 --> 1:18:44.960 aren't gonna like where this all goes because they're saying, oh, well, 1:18:45.000 --> 1:18:48.880 because of the toys that boys play with as babies 1:18:49.720 --> 1:18:53.719 that is responsible. Essentially, this is making a nature versus 1:18:53.800 --> 1:18:57.800 nurture argument, and they're saying that nurture here, which is 1:18:57.840 --> 1:19:01.800 based in gender stereotype being, is the reason for the 1:19:01.880 --> 1:19:05.919 differential between male and female achievement in math and science 1:19:06.000 --> 1:19:11.760 and other spatial you know, spatial stuff. And well why 1:19:12.040 --> 1:19:14.879 men are more likely to be race car drivers, for example, 1:19:15.160 --> 1:19:18.599 or more likely to not just drive faster, but also 1:19:18.640 --> 1:19:22.439 more aggressively. Oh and by the way, there's another as 1:19:22.439 --> 1:19:24.280 another point. I did get to about that in just 1:19:24.360 --> 1:19:28.599 a moment. Uh. Anyway, this is this is what's going 1:19:28.600 --> 1:19:32.000 on at the BBC now hashtag no more boys and Girls. 1:19:32.280 --> 1:19:34.320 One of the problems with this is that it's just 1:19:34.439 --> 1:19:37.880 not true. If they're gonna try to use science to 1:19:38.200 --> 1:19:40.280 make this case, if they're going to try to pretend 1:19:41.200 --> 1:19:45.160 that there really is no difference between uh, male and 1:19:45.240 --> 1:19:50.080 female that is biologically determined, they're going to find that 1:19:50.760 --> 1:19:53.800 they have to falsify the results. We see this all 1:19:53.840 --> 1:19:55.760 around that you already know this, right Some of you 1:19:55.800 --> 1:19:57.960 listening to this are scientists, most of you aren't. You 1:19:58.040 --> 1:20:01.240 already know this. You know that men and women are 1:20:01.240 --> 1:20:02.600 different You don't have to be told that men and 1:20:02.600 --> 1:20:07.240 women are are different. You're you're fully aware of that reality. 1:20:08.280 --> 1:20:12.360 And yet here we are where we are being told, oh, 1:20:12.439 --> 1:20:14.960 not only are men and men and women not not 1:20:15.080 --> 1:20:19.640 different biologically in any meaningful way, but if we just 1:20:19.880 --> 1:20:22.880 dress them differently and treat them as though they're the 1:20:22.920 --> 1:20:28.360 other gender, that's not going to result in any problems 1:20:28.880 --> 1:20:32.040 or that that's not a strange thing to do. This 1:20:32.120 --> 1:20:35.320 is now, you know, the the cutting edge of of 1:20:36.120 --> 1:20:40.600 social social theorizing right now is we just dress a 1:20:40.640 --> 1:20:42.680 little boys a little girl, call him a girl's name, 1:20:42.680 --> 1:20:44.960 make him play with my little pony, and you'll see 1:20:45.000 --> 1:20:46.760 that boys and girls are no different. And that's just 1:20:47.000 --> 1:20:49.439 that's again this is but when I say this is 1:20:49.640 --> 1:20:55.759 biologically determined, it is biochemically determined. Testosterone results in different 1:20:56.160 --> 1:20:58.840 thought processes. And then when I see testoster, I know 1:20:58.880 --> 1:21:00.840 men and women the taster and they have estrogen, but 1:21:01.240 --> 1:21:06.759 higher levels of testosterone result in attitudinal differences. We all 1:21:06.800 --> 1:21:10.320 know this. You already know this. Why are scientists and 1:21:10.400 --> 1:21:14.960 really sociologists and social scientists. Well, I've always said I 1:21:15.000 --> 1:21:16.880 don't like this notion of a social scientists, right, you're 1:21:16.920 --> 1:21:19.320 just a You're just somebody who reads stuff and thinks 1:21:19.320 --> 1:21:21.400 about things. There's not really a lot of science and 1:21:21.520 --> 1:21:24.200 social sciences for the most part. Why are they trying 1:21:24.200 --> 1:21:26.439 to forget what we already know and have known for 1:21:26.479 --> 1:21:30.480 a long time. If they were testing and retesting hypotheses, 1:21:30.960 --> 1:21:32.640 I'd be fine with it. But what you'll see with 1:21:32.680 --> 1:21:35.400 this is that they will ignore the data they don't like. 1:21:36.360 --> 1:21:40.040 They will try to either come up with conclusions that 1:21:40.080 --> 1:21:45.000 aren't there, or if the conclusions are unavoidable and they 1:21:45.040 --> 1:21:47.800 don't like them, they'll just pretend they never reached them. 1:21:47.840 --> 1:21:51.320 There is some mission in place. There's a and it 1:21:51.360 --> 1:21:54.799 comes from this mindset of radical equality. There's a mission 1:21:54.840 --> 1:21:58.120 in place to eradicate the differences between male and female 1:21:58.160 --> 1:22:01.680 as a means of making society equal. And this will 1:22:01.760 --> 1:22:03.920 lead only to misery and dysfunction because men and women 1:22:03.960 --> 1:22:10.760 are different. We are different. I this is something that 1:22:10.800 --> 1:22:13.160 you say out loud, as I just did, and it 1:22:13.200 --> 1:22:15.880 feels it feels almost stupid to say it, but it 1:22:15.960 --> 1:22:20.400 needs it bears repeating. These days, there's really clearly an 1:22:20.439 --> 1:22:24.280 effort out there to convince people that men women are 1:22:24.280 --> 1:22:26.080 not different. And I just sit here and say to myself. 1:22:26.920 --> 1:22:33.080 I mean, this is lunacy, This is doomed, doomed to failure. 1:22:33.520 --> 1:22:36.879 There is no way that this is going to result 1:22:37.080 --> 1:22:41.800 in happy outcomes. And you know this has also at 1:22:41.960 --> 1:22:45.800 some really crazy stuff. I mean, you know, the Swedes, 1:22:45.880 --> 1:22:51.000 for example, decided that they were going to here. Here 1:22:51.080 --> 1:22:55.280 here's from a piece A Galia, a new state sponsored 1:22:55.320 --> 1:22:59.080 preschool in Stockholm. This was from a piece by Christina 1:22:59.160 --> 1:23:02.879 hoff Summers in the Atlantic. A new state sponsored preschool 1:23:02.880 --> 1:23:05.880 in Stockholm is dedicated to the total obliteration of the 1:23:06.000 --> 1:23:09.599 male and female distinction. There are no boys and girls 1:23:09.600 --> 1:23:13.920 at a Galia, just friends and buddies. Classic fairy tales 1:23:13.960 --> 1:23:17.320 like Cinderella and snow White have been replaced by tales 1:23:17.400 --> 1:23:23.439 of two male giraffes who parent abandoned crocodile eggs. The 1:23:23.520 --> 1:23:26.600 Swedish Green Party would like a gallia to be the norm. 1:23:26.640 --> 1:23:30.920 It has suggested placing gender watchdogs in all the nations preschools. 1:23:32.880 --> 1:23:36.000 The gailia gives children quote a fantastic opportunity to be 1:23:36.000 --> 1:23:38.880 whoever they want to be, says one excited teacher. It 1:23:39.000 --> 1:23:41.240 is probably necessary to add this is not an Orwellian 1:23:41.320 --> 1:23:45.640 satire or right wing fantasy. This school actually exists. The 1:23:45.680 --> 1:23:48.320 problem with the gailly and gender neutral toy catalogs is 1:23:48.360 --> 1:23:54.040 that boys and girls on average do not have identical interest, propensities, 1:23:54.160 --> 1:23:57.200 or needs. And this is this is fantastic, by the way, folks, 1:23:57.200 --> 1:23:58.960 this is this is really this is from this piece 1:23:58.960 --> 1:24:00.479 in the Atlantic. Christ You know hops has does some 1:24:00.520 --> 1:24:06.120 really good stuff. Quote. Twenty years ago, has Bro, a 1:24:06.160 --> 1:24:10.639 major American toy manufacturing company, tested a playhouse it hoped 1:24:10.640 --> 1:24:14.040 to market to both boys and girls. It soon emerged 1:24:14.080 --> 1:24:16.519 that girls and boys did not interact with the structure 1:24:16.560 --> 1:24:20.439 in the same way. The girls dressed the dolls, kissed them, 1:24:20.439 --> 1:24:24.880 and played house. The boys catapulted the toy baby carriage 1:24:24.920 --> 1:24:29.760 from the roof. Hasbro manager came up with a novel explanation. 1:24:30.160 --> 1:24:38.479 Quote boys and girls are different. End quote yes we are. 1:24:40.400 --> 1:24:42.439 You all know that, especially those of you who have kids. 1:24:43.120 --> 1:24:45.599 When it comes to the way boys and girls interact 1:24:45.640 --> 1:24:47.240 with each other at a young age and the way 1:24:47.240 --> 1:24:50.080 they interact with the world around them, it is different. 1:24:50.760 --> 1:24:57.360 Biology is incredibly powerful, and these efforts to subdue biology 1:24:57.400 --> 1:25:04.760 in favor of this uh, this obsession with an absolute 1:25:04.800 --> 1:25:08.360 equality and one it will not work of long term 1:25:08.360 --> 1:25:13.439 it will to borrow from Ian Malcolm Life finds Away. No, 1:25:13.560 --> 1:25:18.040 but it really will not. It's not something they can do. 1:25:18.640 --> 1:25:20.479 I also find it fascinating you come up, you come 1:25:20.520 --> 1:25:23.439 up against this argument. The same people that are the 1:25:23.479 --> 1:25:27.320 little social engineers of these projects where they're treating boys 1:25:27.320 --> 1:25:29.519 like girls and girls like boys and just seeing what happens. 1:25:30.360 --> 1:25:33.800 They'll say, well, you know, a pacemaker isn't biology, and 1:25:33.880 --> 1:25:37.240 we don't resign to that. Well, yeah, so is is 1:25:37.320 --> 1:25:41.720 being a boy now a condition? Is it a disease? Oh? 1:25:41.800 --> 1:25:45.320 That's right. They have a phrase for this toxic masculinity. 1:25:46.040 --> 1:25:48.439 They really believe that we are all better off if 1:25:48.439 --> 1:25:52.840 we eradicate masculinity from society. You know, you gotta think 1:25:52.880 --> 1:25:56.479 that some other cultures around the world they're looking at 1:25:56.560 --> 1:25:59.760 us and thinking, these guys don't have These guys don't 1:25:59.800 --> 1:26:02.800 have long in the in the top seat. They really don't. 1:26:03.120 --> 1:26:07.439 It's not gonna last that they're they don't understand the 1:26:07.600 --> 1:26:11.080 very basic realities of what goes on in nature. For example, 1:26:11.520 --> 1:26:15.479 in a state of nature, there's always inequality even among 1:26:15.479 --> 1:26:19.120 a pack, even among the closest natural allies. Right, whether 1:26:19.120 --> 1:26:24.280 you're talking about a wolf pack, lions pride. There there's 1:26:24.320 --> 1:26:29.600 always an alpha, there's a primary female, there's you know, 1:26:29.720 --> 1:26:33.439 different relations between people don't have the same and I'm 1:26:33.439 --> 1:26:35.120 talking about in now a state of nature. Nature the 1:26:35.160 --> 1:26:38.200 same access to food, the same access to mating, the 1:26:38.280 --> 1:26:42.439 same you know, the same stature and standing. Competition is reality, 1:26:42.479 --> 1:26:48.639 and competition results in inequality. And male and female compete 1:26:48.640 --> 1:26:51.080 in different ways and compete with each other more than 1:26:51.120 --> 1:26:54.040 they compete against each other in many ways in a 1:26:54.120 --> 1:26:58.360 state of nature. This is stuff that has been known 1:26:58.400 --> 1:27:01.320 for a very long time. Why is it that you 1:27:01.400 --> 1:27:06.479 have people that are running these experiments and and clapping 1:27:06.520 --> 1:27:10.840 for themselves in the process, and and thinking that they're 1:27:10.840 --> 1:27:13.040 doing something that's really worthwhile, you know, to my point 1:27:13.040 --> 1:27:20.639 before about uh about the biochemistry. Here here, here's another 1:27:20.680 --> 1:27:24.679 piece from this is from the Christina Hoff Summers piece. Quote. 1:27:24.760 --> 1:27:28.200 David Geary, a developmental psychologist at the University of Missouri, 1:27:28.400 --> 1:27:30.400 told me in an email this week one of the 1:27:30.479 --> 1:27:33.879 largest and most persistent differences between the sexes are children's 1:27:33.880 --> 1:27:37.920 play preferences, the female preference for nurturing play and the 1:27:37.960 --> 1:27:41.840 male propensity for a rough and tumble hold. Cross culturally 1:27:41.960 --> 1:27:46.280 and even cross species among our close relatives, such as 1:27:46.400 --> 1:27:50.120 vervet and Reesis monkeys. Researchers have found that females play 1:27:50.200 --> 1:27:54.000 with dolls far more than their brothers, who prefer balls 1:27:54.080 --> 1:27:58.479 and toy cars. It seems unlikely that the monkeys were 1:27:58.520 --> 1:28:02.879 indoctrinated by stereo types in a top toy catalog. Something 1:28:02.960 --> 1:28:07.679 else is going on. Biology appears to play a role. 1:28:08.640 --> 1:28:11.879 Several animal studies have shown that hormonal manipulation can reverse 1:28:11.920 --> 1:28:16.840 sex type behavior. Folks end quote, it's biochemistry, it's nature, 1:28:16.960 --> 1:28:21.240 it's biology, that's what's happening here. And the regressive left 1:28:21.320 --> 1:28:25.200 thinks that it can, through social policy, re engineer all 1:28:25.240 --> 1:28:28.519 this stuff. They're wrong, and a better question to ask 1:28:28.600 --> 1:28:31.360 right now is why do they think this is even 1:28:31.360 --> 1:28:34.559 a worthwhile pursuit? And why don't they understand the cost 1:28:34.600 --> 1:28:39.080 associated with this? How can they not see that promoting 1:28:39.120 --> 1:28:46.120 transgenderism among very young children will result in all kinds 1:28:46.120 --> 1:28:51.160 of psychological difficulties and confusion later on life. It's also 1:28:51.280 --> 1:28:54.080 humiliation for the children, I think, and quite honestly a 1:28:54.120 --> 1:28:57.600 former child abuse. But this is what's this is the 1:28:57.640 --> 1:29:00.240 cutting edge of the progressive left these days. Folks treat 1:29:00.240 --> 1:29:02.120 you a little boy like a little girl, see what happens. 1:29:02.840 --> 1:29:08.680 Call your baby a baby's insanity. You know, the the 1:29:08.760 --> 1:29:11.400 job market is so crazy right now that there are 1:29:11.439 --> 1:29:13.120 folks who are saying, look, I don't even really care 1:29:13.160 --> 1:29:15.360 that much about your experience. I just want to bring 1:29:15.400 --> 1:29:17.160 in and higher. You will, guess what, no matter what 1:29:17.200 --> 1:29:19.479 someone's experiences, you need to know who you're bringing into 1:29:19.520 --> 1:29:22.080 your company, who you're bringing into your workplace, or who's 1:29:22.120 --> 1:29:24.400 gonna be renting your property from you. For all my 1:29:24.439 --> 1:29:26.519 business owners out there, for all the folks listening to 1:29:26.640 --> 1:29:29.120 own property they rent out to somebody, you want to 1:29:29.160 --> 1:29:32.519 make sure you have somebody checking up on that possible 1:29:32.600 --> 1:29:35.640 higher or tenant in a way that is quick, efficient 1:29:35.960 --> 1:29:39.599 and all about the details. Global Verification Network can do 1:29:39.640 --> 1:29:43.040 that for you. They're the only duel certified, veteran owned 1:29:43.080 --> 1:29:47.200 background investigation and vetting company. They're also federally certified as 1:29:47.240 --> 1:29:49.920 a veteran owned small business. Folks. They are headquartered here 1:29:49.920 --> 1:29:53.479 in Chicago. They never offshore your data. They do all 1:29:53.479 --> 1:29:55.880 of the work here in the States. I know the 1:29:55.920 --> 1:29:59.120 CEO personally. He's a great guy who's running a great company. 1:29:59.120 --> 1:30:01.040 You should really check the out. Go to my g 1:30:01.240 --> 1:30:04.680 VN dot com. That's my g VN dot com or 1:30:04.720 --> 1:30:16.640 called eight seven seven six nine five one one seven nine. 1:30:17.120 --> 1:30:20.000 So this uh story called my eye over the weekend, 1:30:20.040 --> 1:30:22.280 and I don't have much time to get into it today. 1:30:22.320 --> 1:30:23.920 I'm wondering how many of you have you even seen it? 1:30:24.000 --> 1:30:31.720 But a former Missoo basketball guard named Terence Phillips, and 1:30:31.760 --> 1:30:36.320 I don't pay attention to college basketball. Apparently he was, uh, 1:30:36.520 --> 1:30:38.479 I don't know, kind of a big deal in basketball world. 1:30:38.520 --> 1:30:42.000 I don't know, um, But he released on Twitter a 1:30:42.040 --> 1:30:46.040 long statement explaining that the Title nine investigation at the 1:30:46.120 --> 1:30:51.799 University of Missouri held on him about allegations of rape, stalking, 1:30:51.800 --> 1:30:55.000 and inappropriate sexual conduct was finished. Three of the four 1:30:55.760 --> 1:31:02.120 allegations were found to have insufficient evidence he I had. 1:31:02.200 --> 1:31:04.400 Here's what he said today, I can finally speak today 1:31:04.439 --> 1:31:07.360 the Time nine investigation I've been undergoing for the last 1:31:07.439 --> 1:31:10.240 six months is finally over. Today I can finally said 1:31:10.240 --> 1:31:12.760 I was found not responsible the allegations against me of 1:31:12.800 --> 1:31:17.360 sexual misconduct, rape exploitation, and stalking. I had four complaints 1:31:17.400 --> 1:31:25.000 filed and investigated, and one unanimously three of them, he said, So, uh, 1:31:25.240 --> 1:31:31.760 the investigation is over. And the investigation included a fifth complainant, 1:31:31.880 --> 1:31:35.800 who said that his behavior in class made her uncomfortable 1:31:35.800 --> 1:31:38.200 on the university said, well, that doesn't warrant an investigation. 1:31:38.840 --> 1:31:40.400 When you look into this, based on what I was 1:31:40.439 --> 1:31:45.639 able to find, I feel like there's a clear um. Well, 1:31:46.080 --> 1:31:50.160 this is another one of these instances where someone has 1:31:50.200 --> 1:31:54.320 no rights of no rights along the process. He lost 1:31:54.400 --> 1:31:58.440 his basketball scholarship. Okay, he lost the ability to play basketball. 1:31:59.400 --> 1:32:04.479 And he wasn't able to even have any due process rights. 1:32:04.479 --> 1:32:07.240 He wasn't able to have any any counsel to confront 1:32:07.360 --> 1:32:10.759 his accusers, none of that. And this was all done 1:32:11.560 --> 1:32:17.280 based upon I believe still well anonymous at least publicly 1:32:17.320 --> 1:32:22.160 complainant a and complainant be and all that allegations against him. 1:32:22.200 --> 1:32:25.840 He was found guilty of pushing his ex girlfriend some 1:32:26.080 --> 1:32:29.640 years ago by the panel, and and he said he 1:32:29.640 --> 1:32:32.920 admitted to pushing her and he was responci found responsible 1:32:32.960 --> 1:32:35.960 for intimate partner violence. But the same girl had said 1:32:36.000 --> 1:32:37.720 she made it her mission to ruin me because she 1:32:37.760 --> 1:32:40.240 feels as though I cheated on her during our relationship. 1:32:41.200 --> 1:32:44.000 And when when I read into this one, and this 1:32:44.080 --> 1:32:46.240 is another one of these cases where it seems like 1:32:46.240 --> 1:32:48.680 there are some women who really didn't like this guy, 1:32:48.960 --> 1:32:53.200 and you had some of this stuff where um, you 1:32:53.240 --> 1:32:56.960 know that there were there were clear signs of some 1:32:57.080 --> 1:32:59.439 vendetta against him from some of the women involved, not 1:32:59.479 --> 1:33:02.280 all of them, but some of them. And this guy 1:33:02.360 --> 1:33:06.439 loses his scholarship and has his life and his repute, 1:33:06.520 --> 1:33:11.920 his reputation ruined, his life, you know, altered, to be sure, 1:33:13.200 --> 1:33:18.200 and we're to think that this is justice somehow, we're 1:33:18.280 --> 1:33:21.200 told to believe that this is just the way that 1:33:21.200 --> 1:33:25.640 it's supposed to be. I keep wanting to, uh, you know, 1:33:25.880 --> 1:33:31.479 raise the fact that false accusations, when you have no 1:33:32.000 --> 1:33:35.960 right of confront of your accuser, when you have no 1:33:36.360 --> 1:33:38.719 right of really anything other than just to sit there 1:33:38.760 --> 1:33:43.400 and let the process play out of false accusations are 1:33:44.439 --> 1:33:48.080 deeply damaging, very very troubling. And I can't help but 1:33:48.200 --> 1:33:52.240 think that there's no consequences people that level false accusations 1:33:52.240 --> 1:33:56.640 in these cases. And this is something that happens. This 1:33:56.760 --> 1:33:59.200 is something that when when you look into what goes 1:33:59.280 --> 1:34:03.160 on here, Uh, there are these cases where women to 1:34:03.240 --> 1:34:07.240 get even with a guy or too uh in some 1:34:07.320 --> 1:34:12.160 way make a point, will level a false accusation, and 1:34:13.560 --> 1:34:16.800 it's just there's no consequences. I don't know. I thought 1:34:16.800 --> 1:34:22.240 that this case was particularly um, particularly horrifying. I mean 1:34:22.600 --> 1:34:25.880 this guy. You know, people are saying that one of 1:34:25.880 --> 1:34:30.439 the women just straight up uh, straight up light um, 1:34:30.520 --> 1:34:32.439 and here's what this guy said. For the first first 1:34:32.439 --> 1:34:34.920 few weeks of this investigation, I cried myself to sleep 1:34:34.960 --> 1:34:37.600 every night. I woke up every morning with emotions and 1:34:37.600 --> 1:34:40.320 frustrations that I've never felt before. Some of you have 1:34:40.360 --> 1:34:42.959 seen me doing photography and think I'm concerned with the situation, 1:34:43.280 --> 1:34:45.920 unconcerned with the situation, But you couldn't be more wrong. 1:34:46.000 --> 1:34:47.760 I've been doing it recently because I have all the 1:34:47.760 --> 1:34:49.720 free time in the world now and it's a way 1:34:49.760 --> 1:34:52.080 to keep my mind fresh and busy while I cooperated 1:34:52.080 --> 1:34:54.960 with the investigative process. To say I am hurt by 1:34:55.000 --> 1:34:59.960 what was said about me uh is an understatement. I've 1:35:00.080 --> 1:35:02.320 lost people who are once called friends I see now 1:35:02.360 --> 1:35:08.479 they never were. I've lost fans, and you know, it's 1:35:08.520 --> 1:35:11.800 bits just the whole case, just it's sad, and this 1:35:11.840 --> 1:35:15.960 guy's life is rumor and by a Title nine investigation 1:35:16.479 --> 1:35:21.960 with no due process, not a criminal complaint. Folks, University 1:35:22.000 --> 1:35:26.479 doing this not something they're equipped to do. The Obama 1:35:26.479 --> 1:35:28.799 administration pushed them to do this kind of stuff. Anyway, 1:35:29.880 --> 1:35:31.519 I'm gonna follow up on this one later in the week. 1:35:31.560 --> 1:35:46.479 Stay with me. He's holding the line for America Buck 1:35:46.520 --> 1:35:55.360 sext in his back. Well, it was only a matter 1:35:55.400 --> 1:35:59.880 of time, folks, before we started looking at state and 1:36:00.200 --> 1:36:04.600 city names for getting a name change because of a 1:36:04.840 --> 1:36:10.120 history or or connections historically to slavery or two other 1:36:11.200 --> 1:36:16.280 politically well, either either morally reprehensible or politically incorrect, depending 1:36:16.320 --> 1:36:21.720 on the subject matter topics. But in the case of Austin, Texas, 1:36:21.840 --> 1:36:25.880 now the case of Austin, Texas, we do, in fact 1:36:26.640 --> 1:36:31.760 have a a case being made by some that the 1:36:31.800 --> 1:36:35.240 city of Austin is gonna have to change its name. Folksy, 1:36:35.640 --> 1:36:37.559 this is perfect because you know, I'm I'm gonna come 1:36:37.560 --> 1:36:40.680 down to Austin this year. I'm looking forward to what 1:36:40.720 --> 1:36:42.320 I'm looking forward to seeing all the folks that kale 1:36:42.640 --> 1:36:45.160 k lb J Austin and and we're gonna pick a 1:36:45.160 --> 1:36:47.120 great barbecue joint role. It's gonna hang out, have a 1:36:47.120 --> 1:36:49.559 little have a little Team Buck party down in Austin, 1:36:49.760 --> 1:36:54.920 t X TJAS. But this is just too much. I mean, 1:36:55.200 --> 1:36:58.599 so here here's the thing. I'm not gonna site here 1:36:58.640 --> 1:37:01.760 and ever say that there's no case we made, because 1:37:01.760 --> 1:37:04.120 anytime somebody has any connection to slavery, you can say, well, 1:37:04.160 --> 1:37:07.520 you know, they that's a that's a true, truly reprehensible 1:37:07.520 --> 1:37:12.040 and moral failing. And even its historical context, people knew 1:37:12.080 --> 1:37:13.560 that it was There were people who knew that it 1:37:13.600 --> 1:37:14.920 was right. There people who knew that it was wrong. 1:37:15.280 --> 1:37:18.240 But Stephen F. Austin, who is considered the father of Texas, 1:37:19.320 --> 1:37:21.679 was opposed to banning slavery when Texas was a part 1:37:21.720 --> 1:37:24.280 of Mexico, which I'm sure the Texans listened to this, 1:37:24.320 --> 1:37:26.960 Remember a lot of other people don't. Texas a part 1:37:27.000 --> 1:37:29.800 of Mexico two hundred years ago. Mexican government needed money, 1:37:29.800 --> 1:37:33.400 so they let American settlers come into the Texas territory 1:37:33.560 --> 1:37:36.920 and then the Texans fought, the Mexicans won their independence, 1:37:36.960 --> 1:37:40.320 were the Republic of Texas for a while, and then 1:37:40.360 --> 1:37:42.000 they're like, yeah, let's join this whole union thing that 1:37:42.080 --> 1:37:46.639 got going on in America that became part of America. 1:37:46.840 --> 1:37:50.240 Uh So this is now something that may, in fact, 1:37:51.320 --> 1:37:54.439 ah may in fact get a bit more attraction. We'll 1:37:54.439 --> 1:37:57.320 see if they changed the name of Austin, Texas. But 1:37:57.360 --> 1:38:00.320 I just want to point out which I oh, it's 1:38:00.320 --> 1:38:02.360 like the liberal enclave of Texas now too. But I 1:38:02.439 --> 1:38:04.719 want to point out that if you change Austin, Texas, 1:38:04.920 --> 1:38:07.840 what do you do about Washington, d C. Where I 1:38:07.880 --> 1:38:13.120 am right now, George Washington own slaves. If if slavery 1:38:13.400 --> 1:38:17.400 is going to be a historical disqualifier, or rather a 1:38:17.680 --> 1:38:24.439 disqualifier in the present because of its historical wrong, why well, 1:38:24.439 --> 1:38:26.920 what are the outer limits of that? And I really 1:38:26.960 --> 1:38:30.160 asked that question in all seriousness. We're gonna change Washington, 1:38:30.479 --> 1:38:33.200 what then becomes our shared heritage is the only heritage 1:38:33.240 --> 1:38:37.439 that we can celebrate in this country. Uh you know, 1:38:37.479 --> 1:38:40.000 in terms of the founding fathers, who who do we 1:38:40.040 --> 1:38:42.320 get to say? Is okay? Still? I guess John Adams, 1:38:43.000 --> 1:38:46.040 Now there'll be a few, isn't interesting? Adams is just 1:38:46.200 --> 1:38:49.080 way less a part of our consciousness when it comes 1:38:49.080 --> 1:38:51.760 to the American founding than say, Jefferson is you know, 1:38:51.760 --> 1:38:54.280 people think of Adams. Look, Washington is numerous, you know, 1:38:54.360 --> 1:38:57.479 but then it's really Washington then Jefferson. You know, Adams 1:38:57.560 --> 1:38:59.320 is even though that he was the second president, is 1:38:59.320 --> 1:39:03.160 not thought of as quite as Uh well, I guess 1:39:03.160 --> 1:39:05.640 we could debate that another topic quite as important to 1:39:05.640 --> 1:39:07.960 figure as some of these others. I even think people 1:39:08.000 --> 1:39:11.240 put Ben Franklin ahead of Adams was I really do um. 1:39:11.320 --> 1:39:14.559 But Austin is thinking about changing its name. I don't 1:39:14.600 --> 1:39:18.880 think that that's going to happen, but it's definitely gonna 1:39:18.920 --> 1:39:21.640 be a topic of discussion. As I've said to the 1:39:21.720 --> 1:39:25.280 Boston has to change its name. You've got Washington, DC 1:39:25.439 --> 1:39:27.479 would have to change its name. Think of all the 1:39:27.560 --> 1:39:31.840 Jefferson County and Jefferson Parish and Jefferson all the things 1:39:31.920 --> 1:39:34.360 named Jefferson across the country that I'm assuming or tied 1:39:34.400 --> 1:39:38.720 to or named for Thomas Jefferson. Uh and and once 1:39:38.760 --> 1:39:42.360 you start expanding this out, think of all the cost 1:39:42.600 --> 1:39:46.000 and the difficulty here associated with this. That the the 1:39:46.120 --> 1:39:48.599 name change is not just gonna be something that people 1:39:49.600 --> 1:39:52.280 are able to do with, you know, this would be 1:39:52.320 --> 1:39:55.360 a thing you don't have to change all the signs 1:39:55.560 --> 1:39:57.519 you have to you know, And and at some point 1:39:57.520 --> 1:40:00.960 we have to say, okay, well when is when is 1:40:01.040 --> 1:40:04.800 the the actual cost too much of this, you know, 1:40:05.160 --> 1:40:10.800 monument changing, slash, city name changing, slash, you know, college 1:40:11.040 --> 1:40:13.479 name changing. I'm still waiting for you. I'm telling you, 1:40:13.560 --> 1:40:15.960 Yale is never gonna change its name because people go 1:40:16.040 --> 1:40:19.160 to Yale because it's called Yale, and Yale University, as 1:40:19.200 --> 1:40:22.160 liberal and elite as it is, doesn't care that Allie 1:40:22.160 --> 1:40:25.120 who Yale was a slave trader. They're gonna they're gonna 1:40:25.160 --> 1:40:27.760 hold onto that name and come hell or high water, 1:40:27.880 --> 1:40:30.760 they're not gonna change the thing. So we'll see if 1:40:30.800 --> 1:40:34.000 if the uh, well, the Austin City Council is already 1:40:34.040 --> 1:40:37.200 renamed streets that were named after Roberty Lee and Jefferson Davis. 1:40:37.200 --> 1:40:40.040 So the Confederacy you got, you know, people that are 1:40:40.880 --> 1:40:43.240 tied to the Confederacy. Austin has already gotten rid of them. 1:40:43.240 --> 1:40:47.639 They're already raising them from public landmarks and other places. 1:40:47.680 --> 1:40:51.400 But are they gonna change the name of the city. 1:40:51.640 --> 1:40:53.840 We'll see, folks, my Austin peeps, you can weigh in 1:40:53.920 --> 1:40:56.800 Facebook dot com, slash buck sexton. But by the way, 1:40:56.840 --> 1:40:59.040 way before we go, actually, I've got here that the 1:40:59.040 --> 1:41:04.479 the Cities of Austin, their equity office, is involved in this, 1:41:04.960 --> 1:41:08.160 and they're saying, to be fair, they're saying that the 1:41:08.200 --> 1:41:13.040 city's name requires more analysis. They have two lists. One 1:41:13.080 --> 1:41:16.679 that's like, you gotta change this right away, immediate action 1:41:17.040 --> 1:41:23.120 like Dixie Drive, Confederate Avenue and Plantation Road. Dixie Drive 1:41:23.600 --> 1:41:26.840 our Dixie Cups now unacceptable. I just I want to 1:41:26.880 --> 1:41:29.400 know where the rules are here that does Dixie Cup 1:41:29.439 --> 1:41:31.960 have to change its name? Is? Is Dixie now the 1:41:32.040 --> 1:41:37.719 name Dixie racist? I'm I actually don't know. Confederate Avenue, 1:41:37.720 --> 1:41:42.240 Plantation Road, those all have to go. But Austin, according 1:41:42.280 --> 1:41:46.160 to the Equity Office, which was created in to evaluate 1:41:46.200 --> 1:41:49.200 issues of racial equity, says that the name of the 1:41:49.320 --> 1:41:53.519 entire city itself that needs more study. Okay, so so 1:41:53.600 --> 1:41:55.560 there's some additional detail. We'll be right back with the 1:41:55.640 --> 1:42:11.479 roll call. Team Buck, it's time for roll call. Well, 1:42:11.560 --> 1:42:14.400 it's a rainy day down here in d C. This 1:42:14.560 --> 1:42:21.120 swamp is swampy and wet and muggy and uh, lots 1:42:21.160 --> 1:42:25.760 of humidity in the air. But I am inspired once 1:42:25.760 --> 1:42:28.040 again because a roll call, because of all of you, 1:42:28.479 --> 1:42:30.640 gives me a little boost energy. At the end of 1:42:30.680 --> 1:42:33.439 the show, if you want your roll call to make 1:42:34.320 --> 1:42:38.599 make it, uh, go to Facebook dot com slash Buck Sexton. 1:42:39.040 --> 1:42:41.880 And also, if you want this show to continue to 1:42:41.960 --> 1:42:46.240 be a success, I need you to tell your friends 1:42:46.320 --> 1:42:49.240 and family about the Bucks Exton show, show them how 1:42:49.240 --> 1:42:52.040 to download it, send them a link, tell them about 1:42:52.200 --> 1:42:55.160 the Freedom of podcast last week we did with a 1:42:55.240 --> 1:42:58.840 Jesse and Sean and we're working on the audio quality. 1:42:58.880 --> 1:43:00.559 I know, guys, I know is a first time out 1:43:00.600 --> 1:43:02.599 with that stuff. We have a lot of fun with that. 1:43:02.640 --> 1:43:04.200 I can tell you that my gear is now in 1:43:04.240 --> 1:43:08.320 New York and and darning. I'm committing. I'm committing to it. 1:43:08.400 --> 1:43:11.280 In the month of August, there will be the next 1:43:11.320 --> 1:43:15.240 episode of shield Hie. Uh. We don't do enough of 1:43:15.280 --> 1:43:17.920 them for us to you know, make any money on 1:43:17.960 --> 1:43:19.679 them or anything yet, so I just do it because 1:43:19.720 --> 1:43:22.960 I love it. But darn it, Shields High in August, 1:43:23.040 --> 1:43:24.640 we're gonna have some weeks where there's not a ton 1:43:24.680 --> 1:43:26.920 of news anyway, so I feel like, let's get into it. 1:43:27.360 --> 1:43:29.599 That's I'm committing right now to doing a Shields tie 1:43:29.800 --> 1:43:32.439 in August and we'll put it out and there you 1:43:32.479 --> 1:43:34.120 have it. But please do check out the Freedom Hut 1:43:34.120 --> 1:43:38.040 podcast from last week. And uh, I'm I'm actually taking 1:43:38.280 --> 1:43:41.080 I'm taking suggestions for who you think would be a 1:43:41.080 --> 1:43:44.280 fun guest for this week. Now, with all that, let's 1:43:44.280 --> 1:43:48.280 get into it. Uh, no, uh, this is again in 1:43:48.400 --> 1:43:53.480 roll call Facebook dot com slash buck Sexton. Noah Rights, Hey, Facebook, 1:43:54.240 --> 1:43:56.479 Uh might not be the best way to contact you 1:43:56.520 --> 1:44:00.240 about this, but I couldn't seem to find it better way. 1:44:00.360 --> 1:44:01.920 On one of your shows you mentioned would be funny 1:44:01.920 --> 1:44:04.400 to get some interns for the Buck Sexton Show. I 1:44:04.520 --> 1:44:06.080 just want to throw my hat in the ring early 1:44:06.160 --> 1:44:09.479 and express my interest. If an internship opportunity ever does 1:44:09.560 --> 1:44:11.040 come to Fruition, I would love to know where I 1:44:11.040 --> 1:44:13.960 can find out more information about that. Thank you, Shields High. Well, no, 1:44:14.120 --> 1:44:16.479 you're very kind, my man, and I can't tell you 1:44:16.600 --> 1:44:19.160 right now you are top of the intern list, but 1:44:19.520 --> 1:44:21.360 we don't take interns yet because I don't even know 1:44:21.400 --> 1:44:22.439 how he would do that. I don't know if they 1:44:22.520 --> 1:44:23.960 have to come to the swamp here in d C. 1:44:24.240 --> 1:44:26.559 Or if they have to go to New York. But Noah, 1:44:26.640 --> 1:44:29.280 we will file this away. And I really appreciate your 1:44:29.280 --> 1:44:32.680 interest and support what we're doing here. And just make 1:44:32.680 --> 1:44:34.439 sure if you're gonna be an intern somewhere, they actually 1:44:34.479 --> 1:44:36.840 give you real stuff to do. I did some internships 1:44:36.840 --> 1:44:41.240 that were worthwhile and some that were complete, complete crap 1:44:41.280 --> 1:44:44.400 lousy fests. I mean it was not not worth anyone's time, 1:44:44.439 --> 1:44:46.400 including the people around me who were supposed to be 1:44:46.439 --> 1:44:49.600 making it worth my time. Wasted everybody's time. But I 1:44:49.640 --> 1:44:52.880 wouldn't have that. I would have interns doing cool stuff 1:44:52.880 --> 1:44:57.680 for me. Next up here is Charles. Uh. Seriously, if 1:44:57.720 --> 1:45:03.040 this was Omama doing just half stuff, Uh, you would 1:45:03.040 --> 1:45:05.880 be screaming for his head. I know you are a 1:45:05.960 --> 1:45:09.160 partisan liar if you don't admit it which you want. 1:45:09.400 --> 1:45:11.160 I'm actually reading this as he wrote it. Guys, I 1:45:11.200 --> 1:45:14.400 know you are you too spelled t o or a 1:45:14.439 --> 1:45:16.880 partisan liar if you don't admit it which you want? 1:45:17.240 --> 1:45:22.439 Conservative ha ha ha where not in fiscal responsibility period, 1:45:23.120 --> 1:45:27.000 not in truth or justice period? Give me a break period. 1:45:28.120 --> 1:45:31.920 Um oh yeah, I'm one of those independents you don't 1:45:31.920 --> 1:45:35.160 care about that will never vote for the GOP. From 1:45:35.240 --> 1:45:43.840 Charles Charles, um m m, fair enough. I thought we 1:45:43.960 --> 1:45:45.800 just go with that, all right, Charles had to say 1:45:45.800 --> 1:45:48.679 on the show. There you go, buddy, It's actually not true. 1:45:48.680 --> 1:45:50.839 I don't care of independence, and I really get excited 1:45:50.840 --> 1:45:52.719 when I hear from liberals who listened to the show, 1:45:52.760 --> 1:45:57.439 and um, I'm and look, I present it all as 1:45:57.479 --> 1:45:59.639 I see it and I'm honest about what I think 1:45:59.640 --> 1:46:02.160 and how I view things, and I tell you when 1:46:02.160 --> 1:46:03.479 I'm not sure. I'll tell you when I think I 1:46:03.560 --> 1:46:06.920 might be wrong about something. And I hope that independence 1:46:07.000 --> 1:46:09.920 recognized that, unlike a lot of the TV news anchors 1:46:09.960 --> 1:46:12.840 that they get information from, I actually know stuff and 1:46:12.920 --> 1:46:17.280 learn stuff and have things to say. Uh So, yeah, 1:46:17.439 --> 1:46:19.120 that was just kind of a swipe at CNN in 1:46:19.160 --> 1:46:22.240 case you didn't know. But yeah, well, Charles, thanks for 1:46:22.280 --> 1:46:24.559 reaching out, buddy. And I do get I do give 1:46:24.600 --> 1:46:27.040 a crap, Charles, I do so on that. I gotta 1:46:27.080 --> 1:46:30.400 tell you you're wrong, all right. Uh here we get 1:46:30.439 --> 1:46:33.320 back into some some nice team buck Aaron Rights. Love 1:46:33.400 --> 1:46:37.040 your show. I especially enjoyed your Freedom Hunt episode last week. 1:46:37.120 --> 1:46:40.240 It was hilarious. I didn't realize that Sean Parnell lives 1:46:40.240 --> 1:46:43.200 in western Pennsylvania. I live about ten miles south of him. 1:46:43.680 --> 1:46:45.519 Be honored to take him out for a beer too. 1:46:45.560 --> 1:46:48.760 Please pass along. Also, I believe you're still trying to 1:46:48.800 --> 1:46:50.760 figure out the buck gear that you sell on your site. 1:46:50.760 --> 1:46:53.280 Can I ask you to consider partnering with the Operation 1:46:53.439 --> 1:46:58.360 Hat Trick program twelve of every brand that item that 1:46:58.400 --> 1:47:01.320 you buy to sell on your side goes to wounded veterans. 1:47:01.800 --> 1:47:04.559 Our company helps start this program.

Thank 1:47:13.439 --> 1:47:14.720 you for all you do, Aaron. That sounds like a 1:47:14.800 --> 1:47:19.200 great idea. So please uh in the Facebook here is 1:47:19.240 --> 1:47:21.280 give me an email where I can best contact you. 1:47:21.920 --> 1:47:24.040 I'm actually writing right now just in shorthand.

So I got a type 1:47:30.360 --> 1:47:33.719 it on on a nationally snick a radio show because 1:47:33.760 --> 1:47:38.120 that sounds really interesting. Actually, Sandy right, someone I don't 1:47:38.120 --> 1:47:42.320 know responded to my post was interested in Muslim history. 1:47:42.680 --> 1:47:45.320 I shared some along with linked to Shields High and 1:47:45.360 --> 1:47:47.679 your show also shared in public. I love it and 1:47:47.760 --> 1:47:50.639 you from Sandy Well, Sandy, you are very very kind. 1:47:50.720 --> 1:47:55.080 Thank you so much. Appreciate it. Aaron writes, Hey, Buck, 1:47:55.120 --> 1:47:57.680 the top headline today is for Bernie Sanders Medicare for 1:47:57.720 --> 1:48:00.200 All Bill. I'm in the military and I have tri 1:48:00.400 --> 1:48:03.120 care which covers almost everything at no cost to me. 1:48:04.040 --> 1:48:06.360 Can you explain why the entire us couldn't have something 1:48:06.400 --> 1:48:08.960 similar to tri care, which sounds similar to what they 1:48:08.960 --> 1:48:11.679 are proposing. What would have cost every person in tax 1:48:11.720 --> 1:48:13.799 increases to make something like that work? Could a flat 1:48:13.840 --> 1:48:17.040 tox not cover everyone? Thanks Man Shields high Lar, thank 1:48:17.040 --> 1:48:19.439 you for your service, and and there your question about 1:48:19.439 --> 1:48:23.439 tri care is the short version, and the short answer 1:48:23.600 --> 1:48:27.719 is it would be too expensive that you couldn't cover 1:48:27.840 --> 1:48:32.479 everybody because it would be too expensive um meaning that 1:48:32.520 --> 1:48:34.800 you or I should say that you would have to 1:48:35.520 --> 1:48:40.360 have such massive tax increases that it would be somewhat 1:48:40.439 --> 1:48:44.880 catastrophic to the greater economy and to the private sector 1:48:44.880 --> 1:48:48.840 and private industry in order to pay for it. Try 1:48:48.920 --> 1:48:51.040 care is pricey. I don't know how price you got 1:48:51.080 --> 1:48:53.599 the top of my head, but I do know also 1:48:53.680 --> 1:48:56.840 that there there's the problem of incentives, which I've been 1:48:56.840 --> 1:48:59.760 discussing with you here about health care. If you don't 1:48:59.760 --> 1:49:02.120 pay for it, you will overuse it. Not you, but 1:49:02.400 --> 1:49:07.479 one will overuse it. Also take less personal care of 1:49:07.560 --> 1:49:12.240 one's health. A vast majority of health spending right now 1:49:13.520 --> 1:49:17.200 goes to elderly care, which covered my Medicare, but then 1:49:17.240 --> 1:49:21.720 also diseases that are lifestyle related, and people generally do 1:49:21.760 --> 1:49:24.760 not like to hear about this, but there are diseases 1:49:24.840 --> 1:49:27.439 that are affected by choices that we are all making, 1:49:27.600 --> 1:49:33.000 notably heart disease, diabetes ease are not always, but at 1:49:33.040 --> 1:49:38.000 least in part, reflections of what we are doing to ourselves, 1:49:38.000 --> 1:49:42.160 the choices we are making about activity level, what we're eating, 1:49:42.439 --> 1:49:45.880 just general health and lifestyle choices. And if you are 1:49:45.920 --> 1:49:50.479 not incentivized for medical reasons, for reasons of cost, to 1:49:50.560 --> 1:49:53.360 change some of those behaviors, that in the aggregate across 1:49:53.400 --> 1:49:55.280 the American economy is gonna have a problem. Gonna be 1:49:55.320 --> 1:49:57.840 a problem because you're gonna be paying for other people's 1:49:57.800 --> 1:49:59.439 stuff and they're gonna paying for your stuff, and that's 1:49:59.479 --> 1:50:02.639 not the way it's is to be. Um. But Aaron, 1:50:03.280 --> 1:50:05.000 I don't know enough about try cure to get the 1:50:05.000 --> 1:50:07.679 specifics of it. But I just I know that if 1:50:07.720 --> 1:50:09.760 if the government's going to cover all of your health 1:50:09.760 --> 1:50:14.200 care bills, you are going to go, uh, the country 1:50:14.320 --> 1:50:17.559 is gonna have to have taxes at least double So 1:50:17.560 --> 1:50:20.160 whatever you're paying now in taxes, imagine twice that much. 1:50:20.800 --> 1:50:22.439 And even then I'm not sure it would be enough. 1:50:24.439 --> 1:50:28.719 Michael writes the definition of a cluster the Buxter Parnell 1:50:28.880 --> 1:50:31.320 and Jesse Kelly trying to do a podcast over Skype. 1:50:31.320 --> 1:50:34.439 You know, Michael, we're just you know, Michael always is. 1:50:34.479 --> 1:50:35.840 He's always there to make sure I don't get too 1:50:35.880 --> 1:50:38.120 big for my bridges and then to make fun of 1:50:38.120 --> 1:50:40.240 me for being in Manhattan. I who says things like bridges. 1:50:41.000 --> 1:50:43.519 But you know where we're We're trying to experiment a 1:50:43.560 --> 1:50:45.639 little bit here. The Freedom Hunt is my my area 1:50:45.680 --> 1:50:47.880 to That's where a little baby buck gets to sore, 1:50:48.200 --> 1:50:49.680 gets to just jump out of the nest and just 1:50:49.720 --> 1:50:53.160 spread his wings and sore. I don't know why I 1:50:53.160 --> 1:50:56.599 got all theatrical there, but that's what ends up happening. Uh, 1:50:56.720 --> 1:51:01.720 Seth road in, Hey Buck, It's all in the reflexes. 1:51:02.160 --> 1:51:07.680 Thank you, Seth, very kind of you, much much appreciated. 1:51:08.160 --> 1:51:14.120 Um william writes, hold on a second. One of these days, 1:51:14.120 --> 1:51:18.120 I'll change your mind about tae kwondo. We have show kicks, 1:51:18.160 --> 1:51:22.400 then we have counter aggression skills. Never do a spin jump, 1:51:22.520 --> 1:51:25.840 high kick in a street fight, knees, elbows wrestling and 1:51:25.880 --> 1:51:29.000 punches in a real fight. Fancy show kicks are only 1:51:29.080 --> 1:51:32.360 for tournaments, but in UFC, I've seen plenty of folks 1:51:32.400 --> 1:51:35.519 knocked out by a high kick, a rear naked choke. WHOA, 1:51:35.640 --> 1:51:38.519 what's that? I never heard a rear naked choke before, 1:51:38.840 --> 1:51:43.519 and several hundred left jabs. Taekwondo is just another tool 1:51:43.520 --> 1:51:45.719 in the toolbox, now, William. I look, I know that's true. 1:51:45.760 --> 1:51:48.040 And remember most of my not my knowledge of martial 1:51:48.120 --> 1:51:50.720 arts comes primarily from watching martial arts movies as a kid. 1:51:51.400 --> 1:51:53.840 So I am not a practitioner. I'm not. I've had 1:51:54.439 --> 1:51:58.080 dilettent level exposure to a number of different martial arts, 1:51:58.080 --> 1:52:02.800 but nothing, nothing sobstantial. But I read a lot about 1:52:02.800 --> 1:52:05.640 things and analyze them, and I also just like to 1:52:05.640 --> 1:52:07.960 talk about martial arts movies. So that's that's how we 1:52:08.000 --> 1:52:12.000 got to this point in things. Uh So, Yeah, like 1:52:12.040 --> 1:52:13.400 I said, if you have any thoughts for what we 1:52:13.400 --> 1:52:16.920 should do for the Freedom Hut podcast, let's uh let 1:52:16.960 --> 1:52:18.680 buck know.
