All Out Political War

An No, it was a pretty good night last night, all things considered. Republicans broke with history and we're able to prevent the Democrats from overrunning them. We're able to not just keep their lead in the Senate, but at a few seats to it. As I'm sure you know, the whole country has been well, most of the country has been thinking about this since the results came in last night. I know it's not not breaking news for you. The Democrats win the House. We know that we've been

aware of that now for a number of hours. But the implications for this are are profound, um and I will get into them. There's some very important breakdown of this. We have to be together. First, why was it that the Democrats did not have what was expected? Oh? What was expected? Again? That's right? A blue wave was what Now they're saying, oh, nobody really expected that. Uh we we remember, we know that there was going to be a blue wave. We remember that. That's um, that was

the way that this was supposed to go. And then last night, sure enough we had to hear this play. Eleven Democrats did hope for a big blue wave that is not happening. There's no blue wave. Is it a blue wave? What do you want to call it? It may not be a blue wave. It's a rainbow wave. It's not a wave. It's not a wave. It is not going to be that blue wave landslide. It's not going to be a wave. This blue wave that clearly

does not seem to be materializing. I don't know whether we won't call it a wave, but it's a blue move, a blue ripple. You can't call it a wave if you don't have a big statewide wind anywhere. How do you call it a wave? If you don't win Florida, How do you call it a wave if you don't win Missouri? Yeah, it's not a wave. So so it would be bad to call it one um and those who were saying, well, that wasn't the expectation. Ah, we have we have this thing called the Internet, so we

can actually track down what they were saying. Play sixteen. The wave is building. The question is just how big. We're standing on a beach looking out at the ocean and we're seeing what looks like a really really really big wave because it's going to be a democratic wave or a democratic tsunami, a blue wave. There's a wave out there. Are we going to see a wave, the wave election, a blue wave, a blue wave, the democratic wave. That's going to be a democratic wave, an anti Trump wave.

There is a wave coming, the tidal wave coming. Likely that the Democrats have. The blue wave, this blue wave that has going across this country. It's like that Will cry will blue wave in November. The blue wave is okay, you get, but we get the idea. Right. They were all saying it. They were all saying it, but it didn't happen. Now they say they didn't say it because if all of them were so wrong, maybe there was some bias at work. Maybe there was a reason that

they were off in their calibrations. Maybe it's not just that this was a surprise to them based on their analysis, but maybe they were more hopeful than anything else that there would be a wave um but there was not. Now a few very important takeaways from last night. First of all, Trump is still highly effective at campaigning for

other people. It's not just the sen was the Trump election, and we got obviously the House and the Senate, and there was this moment of a revolt against the elites and and against leftism and the left word tilt of the country that had gone on almost unabated for eight years of the Obama administration. It wasn't just that. It was also that last night we find that President Trump is effective, his base is still with him, there is still hope in the agenda and that it will continue

to be implemented. And the Democrats put a tremendous amount of money and activism and organization and celebrities and all this stuff into At the end of the day, this is the best they could do at a time when they're telling us that the country is under threat down

to its very foundations. They have been proclaiming. And those of you listen to the show, no because I play their crazy clips on the air, that this democracy is under threat, that Trump is undermoting our institutions, that he's a racist, a misogynist, a rapist, a fascist, a Russian agent, all this crazy stuff, and an imbecile and should be removed by the twenty And they they just spew all this hateful nonsense and then tell us that the president

is hateful. They say all of this and then turn around and pretend that they're the ones who are being adults. But in that environment, this is the best they could do. Losing even more control of the Senate, and you know, winning winning a majority, but by no means a passive, defining majority in the House representatives. What does that tell you about their judgment when it comes to where this

country really is. What does it tell you about their ability to be taken seriously about the Democrat and the left right, to be thought of as real voices in the national conversation that aren't just overcome with envy and frustration and rage and delusion. All these big races we were told about last night, Gillham, Abrams, O Rourke, Oh my gosh, all these superstars and winning lost. They all lost.

Someone telling me, by the way, why is it that young, telegenic, charismatic African American former fighter Polee John James in Michigan received probably one one of the media coverage leading up the election that also young tellogenic, charismatic African American Gilham received in Florida. Oh, that's right. One is a Republican, the others a Democrat, a leftist at that, I mean, a real Bernie Sanders style Democrat. But as much as they don't want to admit it, last night was a

wake up call for Democrats. This is going to be even harder than they thought. They had to assume, whether they were willing to say so publicly or not, that the two years of Russia collusion, conspiracy mongering, the two years of Trump is a white nationalist. He's speaking in dog whistles all the time. This just unrelenting negative media coverage. That that had to have changed perceptions by about people

who are open to new information. Right, It just you would assume by information osmosis over a period of time, people say, well, I mean there must be something wrong with Trump, right, look at what they're saying. It's all negative, it's all terrible. Oh no, A lot of us know that they are the fake news, and they are the enemy of truth, a phrase that you've heard probably first here on this show, and now other people have picked up too. They are the enemy of truth. They undermine

truth and honesty and integrity and authenticity every day. And in fact, I think they embrace it now because they find it to be useful. They view themselves as in an all out war against the president United States, and so anything that is another weapon in that arsenal must be embraced, no matter how disgraceful, no matter how damaging. So now I sit here and think about what we're

going to be subjected to by Democrats going forward. It is going to be ugly because last night the American people and the Democrats and the leftists minds there were disappointment. The leftists are disappointed in America right now. They thought that there would be a repudiation of Trump, and there is no way they can say that it was a

repudiation of Trump. In fact, given what happens historically when people just want change and the people in power that have disappointed individuals who felt like they would get more willing are willing to change and just want to try the other side. Right there's all these trends, all these dynamics that favor of the Democrats, and with that going on to lose Senate seats in the balance and to pick up whatever it is, thirty or so seats in the House. I mean, some of this is still there's

some I think there's some recounts being talked about. Some of this is still outstanding. Um, that to me is anything but some kind of huge SmackDown of Trump and what he has done. In fact, it is really an affirmation of the political movement that you and I have been supporting now since the day Trump took office, well many of you since the day Trump announced for president, and you were you were visionaries. You saw it coming

long before many of the rest of us did. So last night was a good defensive maneuver at a time when the Democrats were inevitably going to be on offense. It was a stalemate. If this was a boxing match,

you would say that it was a split decision. And everything now points to and it's not just the people in the political class and uh, you know, journals and analysts and all the all the rest that are do you think about because everything that you see now until then until that next election day is going to be colored by this fight between Democrats and Republicans. There is very little now of real substance that the president is

going to be able to do that involves Congress. We'll talk a bit more during the show today about people to healthcare, maybe infrastructure package. You know, anything is anything is possible. Sure, anything could happen, but I don't think anything will happen. You will see a ferocious anti Trump resistance that is able now because they finally have control of one branch of government, is able to indulge all

of their wildest fantasies about Trump Russia collusion. Is able to be vindictive, seek to settle scores, and it is going to be nasty. It is going to be a very tough fight. Now, I want to tell you about why I think last night happened the way that it didn't. Obviously, for me, the two biggest factors were, well, you could say three one the economy, two Trump, three the Kavanaugh effect. Let's talk about the cabin affect, and then I'll address

where all this is going. And of course, the resignation requested resignation of my buddy Jeff Sessions as Attorney General to miss Jeff. I liked him. I know some of you are disappointed he didn't do more on Russia collusion, but he recused himself. Once you recuse yous over, you can't unrecuse yourself. So but Jeff Sessions, as you know, was out. That was the big breaking news. Like that happened later on today. Trump is he's cleaning house after

the election, just as we all expected him to. But that has important implications that that gives us a sense of where things are going to. Mueller is going to be a name you hear a lot more in the weeks and months ahead, probably months. As much as I hate to say it, the Russia collusion investigation is going to go back at the top of the headlines. Again. It's gonna be a whole shift. We should prepare for it.

But I do want to take a moment we come back to just discuss Kavanaugh and what that meant in this election, and also what it tells us about what the fight ahead will look like. Stay with me, team, We'll be right back. The observations on the Kavanaugh effect very helpful. Yeah, I think the Republican sort of core voters in the States that were critical to us. We're highly offended by the questioning of the presumption of innocence and the tactics, and I think it was like an

adrenaline shop. We were worried bad lack of intensity on our side, and I think the Kavanaugh I've certainly provided that it was extremely helpful. It's noteworthy that the one Democrat and a red state who survived voted for her Kavanaugh. The Kavanaugh effect was one of the biggest lessons of the mid term. And as you know, I speak with particular pride on this issue as somebody with all of your support, who was as vocal as I could be and in contact with the White House and people on

Capitol Hill about how we needed to back Kavanaugh. Stands strong with Kavanaugh and that women were lying about him as part of a character assassination the likes of whist of which this country had really never seen before, at least not in my lifetime. It was appalling. It was painful to watch a good man have his reputation destroyed

on such flimsy pretext and such obvious motivation. But you know, the good news is that normal Americans don't appreciate the ritualized humiliation of a respected husband, father, and jurist, the amusement and political satisfaction of the pink hat maniacs Justice Kavanaugh. It's good to say it now, isn't it not, Judge Kavanaugh. Justice Kavanaugh stood strong and he fought back. It's not just that members of the Senate, and thank you, Lindsey

Graham did the right thing for the GOP. In the GOP, it was also that Kavanaugh realized he was backed into a corner and they were about to finish him off. And they were so angry and so full of vitriol and hate about his performance because they knew they were

just they had him. They they were so close to finishing off Kavanaugh in front of the whole country, in front of over twenty million people watching those sham hearings, that embarrassment to the Senate, and he, in front of his wife and his children, all of his colleagues and friends, found the strength to stand and fight for his honor and the truth. Because he did that, we now have a conservative constitutional sitting on the Supreme Court, and we

have a conservative Republican majority in the Senate. If you have any doubt about that, let me just share with you the following as McConnell said. Joe Manchin, a Democrat, Yes on Cavanaugh. He got reelected in West Virginia last night, but hide Camp went no on Kavanaugh. She lost in North Dakota. Mccaskell no on Kavanaugh, lost in Missouri. Donnelly

no on Kavanaugh, defeated in Indian Anna. Voters of of good conscience and good sense punished cowards in the Senate for doing the wrong thing, and as a result of that, we now have a strong Senate majority and probably lost ten to fifteen fewer House seats because of Kavanaugh. But also we understand who the enemy is here and how

they will fight what they're willing to do. We must understand that Kavanaugh was really just a symptom of the larger disease of all out personal destruction at the hands of leftists. That is what they now seek to do to regain power. Their arguments are garbage, their positions are laughable. They claim to embrace science when they rejected. They claim to want to bring more healthcare to more people, and they don't understand the basic math involved. So how do

you think they're gonna win through a campaign? Of humiliation and individualized terror, just like what they did to Kavanaugh whenever there is a political motivation for them to do so. Kavanaugh was a harbinger of what is to come, not just in the months they had over the next two years. Thank god he stood in fight, and thank Heavens for all of you who supported that fight and who voted to support that fight team. We got a couple of calls up, let's get to here for some of the folks.

Charlie in Saulisbury, Maryland, what's up, Charlie, Hey, thanks for calling. Let me call you Buck, thank you for calling in.

What's on your mind? Yeah? I was listening to a couple deals with Trump's interviews with reporters and won't report were asking about, you know, the investigation since Nancy will probably be speaker and stuff like that, and he said, well, you know, we're not done with our investigations, and he named off, you know, like the server and missing emails and comy and that, and then the next reporter I think it was an extra maybe too too later that

person asked about um going now get a brain fusion? Yeah, okay, A bunch of different investigations being asked about sure, So are you asking me should Trump do this? Is this the right way to go to essentially tell them that there will be investigatory retaliation in response. I mean the answer is yeah, that that he should tell them that because, for example, the Hillary Clinton email investigation, she wasn't cleared.

They just chose not to bring charges against her. They could reopen that and look at more more information and decide that they might have a different outcome here. So you know, if the Democrats want to play rough, they should know that Trump and the Republicans will play rough in response. And that's the only way I mean, that's the only way you can deal with the left. If

you show any weakness, they exploited. The second question to him was about declassifying the documents, and they don't understand Trump. He he's got all the cards. Well he's he's held that back. And by the way, I think that people have, you know, including myself, have said I'm frustrated. I wish you would. I asked the president to his face. We had a conversation about it. I as him, I said, well,

will you release the documents? He said he's going to, but then he got pushed back, and I think he's holding it back because he wants to see, you know, the release of the stuff that he's got, I think would have a lot it would be a lot of egg on the face of the d o J. The FBI would look really bad. But better to to hold it until you need it. And he might wait until the Mala report comes out and then as a response

to the Muller report, drop that. Now, think about how that goes, right, So, so you know, he's you know exactly, I mean, but you think about this when when people always talking about Tump playing five D chests. I mean, I actually used to political chess growing up. I was Okay, it wasn't very good. Uh, but you don't want to

pull your queen out too early, you know. And and I think in this whole Russia collusion investigation, the queen that Trump has, so to speak, is that he can declassify this stuff and just show what a sham the whole thing is. So let it play out, right, let Mueller do what he's doing. The moment that all of a sudden Mueller starts trying to subpoen at Trump's uh, you know, financial records or something. Then all of a sudden he goes, Okay, now let's let people know what's

really going on here. So I think he's trying to be strategic about it, and I do think there are concerns about third party until essentially, are our foreign partners giving us information that we don't We don't want to burn them, right, It's like a journalist doesn't want to burn a source. So though journalists will burn sources, they make a big deal out of that depends on what side of the all the sources on. Thanks for calling in, Charlie,

Dean up in Boston. What's up Boston, Hey, brother Buck. Three things I personally took away from last night. The first is I noticed that the old GOP that all stepped aside the big masses, so do the media told them they were going to lose years ago, they said, okay, we're leaving. So the recognition wasn't out there, their war chest, money wasn't out there. So still we did as well as we did without all of that. The second part was we sent out a president with a record in

two years, and that's all we sent out. They sent They put the Clintons in the closet, Bot Obama, OPRA, Hollywood, all of the money, you know, hundreds of millions of dollars from the mega donors the media, and still that's all they came up with. So now today they have to start run into You can't turn on the record of last night and go back to Omega donors and say, oh, we need another half a billion dollars for two years

from now. At some point, these these people are gonna say, I don't know, I don't know this this I think I'm back in the wrong. We'll see it. Maybe I'll just sit this next one. Well, Dean, think about it. They's been seventy million dollars to lose one sentence seat in Texas. Ever to lose the race. What is that? This is crazy. Seventy million dollars that's just all going to media buys basically, so they saturated the Texas media market with Beto Betto, Oh we need Betto and then

he loses Ted Cruise. By the way, it was too close, Ted Cruise. You know I've been saying he's going with my Ted Ted. Tedd needs to step up his game a little bit. He needed to make an example of Betto trying to trying to sneak into the Republicans kitchen there and and steal a seat. I mean, uh, he can't let that. He can't let that one goes. I'm a little I'm a little disappointed with with the marginal victory for Teddy. Yeah, he won, I'm happy for him, but he should have won by at least six or

seven points. I mean, to win by I think he won by three maybe four. Not enough, not enough against a betto the billionaire who is a fake Latino essentially, and that's how he's running the whole thing. It's just it's just bizarre. But Dean, there'll be a lot of money, unfortunately, a lot of liberal billionaires who are trying to they're trying to buy their their their passage to Nirvana by you know, spending on these leftist candidates. Thank you for

calling her from Boston, my friend. You know, Kelly and Conway made a very very important point. The media. You know, the media is such a funny relationship with her. They can have her on air enough, but they're always like, oh, I don't know about Kelly and Conway, you know, at CNN and and all these other places. But Trump did make the difference, and Kelly made that case play three, and there's no question that his presence on the campaign

trail made the difference. In fact, he went five for five and just his stops from Sunday and Monday alone. I was with him yesterday. There's three stops on the Monday, all three of the candidates he stumps for in three very different states, for a governorship of Ohio and also two Senate seats in Indiana and Missoura, both of which are pickups from the Democrats. And I think when a president in power has the Senate, it's easier to get

through judicial nominations. You've seen that's when I've been big mark of his success in the first two years in office, are these judicial nominations getting through and the U. S. Circuit courts and of course to the United States Supreme Court, and also the executive norms. The House looks like a local Democratic but not by the large margins that have happened in the past. We know that President Obama suffered sixty three losses in the House in two thousand ten,

President Clinton fifty four losses his first mid terms. And these presidents, these two term presidents, found a way to work with the party out of power on things that matter to the country. This president is prepared to do that to work across the guide the President, the economy, and Kavanaugh. That is the the triumvirate, if you all. That is the trio, the the secret to the relative

success of what happened last night. And the good news is that the president is clearly going to still be who he is for the for the the stretch now between where we are and where we're going in the in the presidential election, and then I'm hoping the economy continues to grow. There may be a reset, but as long as it's not a catastrophic reset right before the election, we'll be fine because the president's policies do promote growth.

The president's policies are better than Obama's. I mean, this is this is the good news is we're right. But then also Kavanaugh. Remember that we are the side of honor and integrity, and remember that the other side is not. And that is who we are facing. That is what we are up against. Do not forget Kavanaugh, not now, not a year from now. We'll be right back. Oh. I think oversight is important in the sense that right now the system of checks and balances is non existent.

I mean, look at all the cabinet secretaries that have been involved in wrongdoing and not announced of oversight from the Republicans. I mean that that's unconsortable. This is tax pair money that is being wasted. And oh, I'm sure we'll expect Herran's because we we have a constitutional duty um of oversight in the in the U. S. House. What would Senate Republicans to in the event of the House down produce trouble to obtain presidents from hots records? Well,

you know, the whole issue presidential harassment is interesting. I remember when we tried it in the late nineties, we impeach President Clinton. His numbers went up, an hours went down, and we underperformed in the national election. So the Democrats in the House will have to decide just how much presidential harassment today. Thanks good strategy. I'm not so sure

it'll work for them. I think Mitch is right. I think McConnell's onto something there that the American people overall will be displeased with the obvious political harassment and legal harass sman that we can expect from the Democrats from the hashtag resistance crowd. That doesn't mean they're not gonna do it, though, doesn't mean that the plan is not for the left two just go all out with everything they can to not just expose, you know, wrongdoing. I

mean they're gonna say it's about that. It's it's not about that at all. It's just going to be what can they do to inflict irritation, anxiety, and possibly pain on the president and those around him, And that's what they will do. This is why the kavan A effect, I would notice, is also so important. What we saw with Cavanaugh was the unadulterated, distilled, pure version of left wing bile that they will unleash on anybody who stands in their way when they have the opportunity, when they

really have a target. There is nothing they won't say. There's not there's nothing they won't do. There is no level to which the Democrats will not stoop if they think that it is in their political interests if they could try to turn Kavanaugh into a ruined gang rapists, if they can try to destroy his life based on the evidence that they presented there, which was zero evidence.

What do you think when they have subpoena power in the House of Representatives, they're going to do to everybody around Trump, anybody who's ever been close to Trump, anybody who's supportive of Trump publicly in a way that they want to make an example of them. This is they're going to turn into a smear machine. Get ready for Pelosi lead Soviet styles show trials. That's what's coming for

the next two years. That's why when the President today said, okay, well, the Senate also has subpoena power, So you want to you want to play games, we can play games. He's completely right. We have to raise the temperature in response to the heat we're going to get from the House of Representatives. There's no other way. They have to feel the pressure too. There has to be a punishment for their bad behavior, or else they're just gonna run wild.

There's nothing that they will uh that. There's no ethics that will stop them. Right, There's no sense of duty to country or anything else. They just they think that their duty and they also have a very personal investment in it because they feel undermined by Trump, his success and his very existence. They think that they're their duty to country, if you will, is to destroy the president and the presidency. Everything else is secondary to that mission.

They've made this clear. Now they may go after the president's finances, and that's going to be a particularly interesting, interesting fight because what does that have to do with anything. They may go after his tax returns, why just to try to humiliate him. Keep in mind that some of the same journals who tell us all that we must see Trump's tax returns even though they're under auded, we're completely fine with. We could not see and still to

this day, have never seen Barack Obama's college records. Why why. It's not because I think he's a secret Kenyan or you know what, a Muslim, or any of those things that have been said. It's because I think he was a mediocre student at best, and I think that they didn't want people to know that the president, who was supposed to be the greatest genius who have ever lived in this country was just kind of an okay student and got to go to the best schools imaginable as

a just kind of it okay student. That's my theory. No one can say I'm wrong because they don't know. But I'd be willing to bet a little bit of money on that one. But nobody was trying to Nobody in the in the media least was clamoring for the release of Obama's college records, but they are clambing for the release of and they'll use legal processes to get it if they can Trump's tax returns. And they'll weaponize the government. I mean, they're weaponize the bureaucracy. If that's

what it takes for them, that's what they'll do. So we should just be ready for what's coming. Kavanaugh, Yes, save the Senate. Kavanaugh not only has given us a great Supreme Court justice for decades to come. And when I say we thank Kavanaugh, I don't mean just for being there. I mean for standing up and fighting. But and he gave us that Supreme Court seat. He saved the Senate for the Republicans too, I have there's no doubt in my mind that is what happened. But let's

not forget that lesson of Kavanaugh. It's not just applicable to the left. Is crazy, don't give them power in the mid germs. Although that was certainly important, it's also important going forward that we remember how the left plays the game, what depths they will sing to, how completely unmoored they will be in their attacks, the perversion of truth that they will engage in the the smears, the character assassination, the kind of personal destruction that I mean

this and I don't say this too to exaggerate. What they did to Kavanaugh could have driven somebody without his support network, without such a a a devoted and strong wife and family and friends around. What the Democrats did to Kavanaugh could have brought a person to suicide. And here's what I think you should all know about that if something like that had happened, there are many on the left, many Democrats, who, whether they would have publicly said so or not, would have felt that there was

justice in that. That's how sick these maniacs are. That's how evil they are. And now they have subpoena power in the House. Now the left wing Pelosiites are going to be in a position to use the force of law to the same ends. Subpoena members of Trump's family. Try to, you know, try to get Ivanka on the stand, Try to get Donald Trump Junior before a committee, Try to pull their finances, try you to go after other members of the Trump family you don't really ever hear about.

Just to create damage and mayhem and destruction and terror because they can't beat Trump. That's the underlying terror for the left that last night was made so clear. They can't beat him in politics. They will not be able to mount a candidacy that can overcome Trump. The only way they can beat Trump on the field of political battle is to cheat, is to get him before he can take the field, is to go after his family. They can't just face him and win in a fair fight.

They're going to be underhanded. And we're going to live through this, my friend. So yes, we're gonna have to keep our shields high together for the next two years. It's coming everything, his taxes, the Mueller, pro Russia hystoria, all that. It's coming back in a big way. We must be prepared. I love black Rifle coffee. You know this. I tell you about it.

of whose party is there. We're still going to be uh an administration that's focused on lowering the taxes, growing our economy, creating jobs, defeating isis remaking the judiciary. Uh Thick saying that the tremendous opioid crisis that we have, I think we can work with Democrats on that. You know, we know what we believe in, and we know whose side we're on. We came to this movement to pick a fight a fight on behalf of millions of Americans who are getting ripped off in a rigged economy and

ignored by a corrupt government in Washington. We came to this fight for families trying to stretch a paycheck and for people living one moment away from a medical bill that would send them spiraling over a financial cliff. This resistance began with women, and it is being led by women tonight. Take her, Elizabeth Warren at her word, my friends, the Democrats offer one thing, and one thing only for

the next two years, yours resistance. They're going to wage political war on this president, on this presidency, on conservatives, on the Republican Party, and all who stand with them, all who convert into philosophies of limited government, individual liberty, basic rights enshrined in the Constitution. Those people are going to be treated very poorly by the other side. Be ready for it. There is not going to be any comedy. There's not going to be any coming together or uniting.

It is. It is laughable when you hear Nancy Pelosi last night say that maybe there will be a bipartisan moment here play four teens. She actually said this pretty amazing. We will strive from bipartisanship. We believe that we have a responsibility to seek common ground where we can, but we cannot standard ground, but we must try, and so by part openness and transparency, accountability, by partisanship a very important part of how we will go forward. There will

be none of that. Really, There is not any area that I could even think of her point to where they will work in a bipartisan fashion that will make a difference. I mean, sure, you know, though they'll nibble around the edges of some things. There's there's some possibility maybe that they'll do some Obamacare fixes which will just me in shoveling some money into some places and then assume that in they'll work out what really happens to Obamacare.

In fact, Belosi specifically talked about healthcare right after the Democrats took the House. Here's what she said. In place, seventeen voters delivered and resounding verdict against Congressional Republicans attacks on Medicare, Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act and people with preexisting conditions and districts everywhere in America. They went

in a new new direction. Yes, pre existing conditions. All we ever hear about Obamacare is, as I've told you, thousands of pages long, just because all it does is deal with pre existing conditions. Of course not, there's a lot more to it than that. It's about the redistribution of wealth via the health care system, and it's about putting us on a pathway to single payer, which people like me have been saying for the last seven years. Now they're open about it. They were telling us that

it was a lie and it was a smear. Remember Obama said, remember the old Obama you lie thing, and people got so angry at that. Remember of Congress he yelled, you lie. Well, if Obama didn't lie, it was a lie that the Democrats would not try to give illegals Obamacare because that was Hillary's platform the last election, openly written out on our website, spoken about that was where they were going. So it was a lie, whether Obama knew it or not, and I think Obama probably knew it.

He certainly knew it was a lie that you can't or you know, if you like your healthcare plan, you can keep it. He knew that was a lie. I didn't care. He had an agenda to deliver on. He had something that he had to to get done, no matter what he had to say in that process. McConnell pushed back on this a little bit fortunately, but look, the Senate's not gonna be able to do anything without

a majority of the House now. In healthcare, and because of John McCain, we did not actually change anything substantive with from a legislative point of view, with Obamacare. We've only made some executive order fixes here and there, right removing the individual mandate, that sort of thing, But they just said they're not going to enforce it, the individual mandate, so it really still is there. So if you have

a different administration, guess what visual mandate is back. But here's what McConnell said about healthcare, speaking of where the bipartisan this is. There is non play a team and there aren't any Republican attacks on Medicare or Social Security. That's all Democratic fantasy that they spend every years. Yeah, but with regard to healthcare, it's not working well. This is Obamacare, it's not working well. The American people are

giving us divided government. The Democrats now have some governing responsibility being in the majority of the House. I think what they're saying to it is you guys get together and figure out a way to improve the health care system. Obamacare has not worked well, so they've given us divided government. We have to work together. We need to improve the health care system in America because it's not working well.

That's all true, although it's not as true as Mitch says it in the sense that most people actually like their healthcare. Most people think that their healthcare is pretty good. Those who have employer provided healthcare satisfaction with us really you never hear about this. Satisfaction is really high. There's a percentage of the population and you know that works and can't really afford healthcare and gets caught up in

dealing with crappy HMOs and all that. And that's why we've gotten into this crisis we're in with with the health care system, because people realize that it's you know, it's unethical that somebody would suffer horribly in a very wealthy country because they don't have the funds to pay for a disease that they've contracted just because you know, but there's not gonna be any bipartisan fixing any of this stuff. That's fantasy land stuff. So, as I've been

saying to you. The Democrats took the house. It's time for us to batten down the hatches. Okay, so you need to hire somebody for a job opening. You know what's not smart just sort of hoping that the right resumes show up. You know what else isn't smart?

I'm not sure that I should be happy or say it, but if you'ld just find about it, okay. Carlos Cube, Lah, Mike Kaufman, too bad.

Mike mea love. I saw me a love. She called me all the time to help her with a hostage situation, being held hostage in Venezuela. But Mia Love gave me no love and she lost. Too bad. Sorry about that, Maya and Barbara Compstock was another one. I mean, I think she could have won that race, but she didn't want to have any embrace. Peter Roscomb didn't want the embrace. Eric Paulson didn't want the embrace. Bob Hugan, I feel badly because I think that's something that could have been one.

That's a race that could have been one. John Fasso. Those are some of the people that you know, decided for their own reason not to embrace. Whether it's me or what we stand for, but what we stand for meant a lot to most people. The President is just at press comments earlier today saying what's true. If people really got upset about this, people are calling him acting like a mafia boss over of course at you idiot

Central CNN. But the President is just doing very clear election analysis where you had a lot of different candidates that probably had they not thought, had they not, you know, decided to go with the conventional wisdom of oh to win in this district, where to win in this area, you gotta you gotta distance yourself from Trump. Probably could have won you know, New Jersey. For a moment there looked like that was a winnable sentence seat. I'm talking

more about Menendez later on. But Oi, I can't believe it. Well, I can't believe it's Jersey. Oh Jersey, Look at you, Jersey. Look what you got. Now, Look what you made me do? Jersey. Uh, you know, but you you could have had the president really get involved in some of these races, and it might have. Look I I still think of Democrats probably win the House by some kind of majority, but it

would have been less and the center majority. I mean, in a different world you might have had another I shouldn't say a different world and just a different night. I mean, in different dynamics, you could have had three or four more Republican pickups. I mean, hell are out in Nevada definitely could have gone GOP with a little bit more effort. New Jersey could have gone GOP with Hugen over Menendez. Um that there there were there were a few spots where oh, I mean you know, Tester

and Montana. Uh, there are some places where we really could have but we did We did well. I mean, don't get me wrong, GPD. Well, I'm not trying to be greedy, but I just want to note that the President's gotten so much pushback over this, and I was like, why it's important that for the next election people know. And Trump goes on the record and saying, okay, establishment GOP types who thought you were too cool and too smart to tie yourself to the president. The leader of

the party is the leader of the Republican Party. Now that's that's not debatable. That's not up for discussion. Do you want to be in the Republican Party and you want to get behind the leader or not? But there's nothing That doesn't mean you have to agree with them on everything. It doesn't mean you have to defend everything he says. Just means do you support him or not? Are you a part of his agenda? Are you a

part of the implementation of his vision. And if you want to say no, we'll just remember that a bunch of people said no for this election and they got wiped out. Why why is this such a big deal? People are making such a big deal out of this today looking around and saying, well, what's what's the problem? So, you know, Trump, Trump is telling people what they should know about you don't run, you don't run. You know, with with Trump, bad things happen. I I don't really,

I don't know. You get it. People well, they just they hate Trump. I mean, they just always want to make a big and make a big deal out of this um and and then there's there's this other issue I wanted to just get you for a moment here. Well, first of all, who qualifies as a woman that we should be excited about in politics is always an interesting thing. It's just like, who qualifies as a minority? What was there any embrace of uh Condoleeza Rice as a very

high profile, very powerful minority under the Trump administration? Of course, the answer, you know is no, there was no embrace of Condoleeza Rice as a minority in that administration. In fact, people I think pretty openly questioned whether she counts as a minority whatever that means. You know, if you're not working with the left on this stuff, they decide that they can send you, send you off the team. I guess, I don't know. I mean, that's that's how the left

does it. There's this there's this willingness to change one's identity politics on the left, based really on what the left says your identity is. They they just determined as you go along. But here is Mica who watches Morning Joe. So I mean, I really mean that, who thinks that they get insight and clarity and they're watching, you know, nice people by the way, people that you really people that I don't know. I will I won't. I won't go down there. There's the there's a whole path here,

and I know I don't. I don't like the whole You work together, you both got families, but hey, let's abandon the family, you know, but let's let's go past that, because I look, I understand Republicans, no point to Republican point to the presidents. They look at his personalized I'll leave that out. I'll leave all that stuff aside. But I just in particular the whole Morning Joe thing, and yeah, I think it's unseemly, but okay, but here's Mica play clip five. I want to just share my thoughts in

the eighteen midterms and women knowing their value. It's not a coincidence that some of the biggest winners of the night are women, many first time candidates inspired to run to put a check on Donald Trump. It's a vast majority of the history makers were Democrats. Dead Hallen, the first Native American woman elected to Congress, Ianna Presley, the first woman of color in Massachusetts, il hand Omar in Minnesota,

and Rashida delib in Michigan. Muslim Americans breaking barriers, women breaking barriers, Johanna Hayes, who went from teacher of the Year to Connecticut's first African American Democrat in Congress. And there's also Nancy Pelosi that story this morning, likely getting back the gavel she left off. Young Kim was the first Korean American in Congress, a Republican from California's thirty

ninth congressional district. So okay, you might say to me, all right, buck, hold on, hold on, Maybe it's in oversight. My shay. Well, okay, I could be persuaded that that dry. I could be persuaded that this time around it was in fact and an oversight. Um. But there's a I'm not saying that it was. I'm just saying you could

persuade me. I'm open to that possibility. But then you look a little bit at what is going on here with the way the left is talking about this election, and there is a lot of when I refer to blue check Twitter by the way, for those of you who aren't Twitter people, which I know is a lot of this audience, because you know, why, why be on Twitter unless you work your media. Although those of you are on Twitter tweet at me, say hi, I like

talking to you. Um. A lot of blue check media was pointing out that in the Cruise and O'Rourke race, as well as other races, there was a very clear split between um minority um my minorities across the board who went overwhelmingly for Democrats. I mean in the Ourora Cruise race, for example, Cruise is a Latino folks. By the way, this always gets lost Beato is a fake Latino. Cruise is an actual Latino, and Latino men went for m Latino women went sixty six percent for O'Rourke. White

women went for Cruiz. And there's a similar dynamic in the Gillham race, where you had a pretty healthy percentage in terms of you know that the overall tally, a pretty solid percentage of white women went for de santiss

and and did not go for Gillum. And the way that this has talked about by the blue check which means journalists, right, it means that people that are verified on Twitter um official Official Twitter were saying that white women are disappointment this one guy, Trayvon free Rope, Black women voted for betto white women did what white women do? What what is that supposed to mean? Well, what exactly is is you know, I'm I'm I'm trying to just get to the bottom of what that white women did. Well,

what does that mean? Why is it all right? Why is it all right for white women to be called out in this way that that strikes me as crossing a line in a pretty profound way. You know, they're gonna they're gonna blame white females for the loss in some of these places. The Women's March, you know, the Women's March the pink hat wearers. They wrote, quote, there needs to be accountability and an honest reckoning. There's a lot of work to do white women, a lot of learning,

a lot of growing. Uh, what do you mean that white women have a lot of learning to do? Oh, because white women went seventy six percent for Kemp, fifty for Cruise, for DeSantis, Black women went for O'Rourke, percent for Abrams, pent for for Gillham, and this one journalist

here wrote white women gonna white? When does the hostility toward whiteness in the media we I know there are a lot of white people in the media that also do this, but they do it in a way that they think that they're essentially earning virtue signaling points all the time and they're not part of the bad whiteness. But when does the hostility to whiteness in the media and the culture more broadly become something we're allowed to talk about because it is pretty openly celebrated now in

some corners. There are a lot of places where you can bash whiteness as almost a disease, as an affliction. We have to overcome whiteness, we have to d privilege whiteness that's not a big leap from We have to overcome whiteness too. There's a problem with white people and that leads us down a very very ugly path, and that's where the left is taking us. I think you should let me run the country. You run CNN, and if you did it, well a question, are you worried?

That's enough? That's president as one of the other folks. That's enough part of me, ma'am, that's enough, this president. I had one of the ds I may ask on on the Russia investigation? Are you concerned that that you may? I'm not concerned about anything you have investigation because it's a hoax. Are that's enough? Put down the mic? This president? Are you worried about indictments coming down in this investigation? Mr? President, I'll tell you what. CNN should be ashamed of itself

having you working for them. You are a rude, terrible person. You shouldn't be working for CNN. Go ahead. I think that's your very rude person. The way you treat Sarah Huckabee is horrible, and the way you treat other people are horrible. You shouldn't treat people that way. Go ahead, and Peter in Jim's defense. I've traveled with him and

watched him. He's a diligent reporter who bustles. I'm not a big fan of yours either, So to be honest, ask your question, if I can you repeatedly start you are the best, Mr. President, You repeatedly over the course of just down place. Well, when you when you report fake news, No, when you report fake news, which CNN does a lot, you are the enemy of the people. Trump is completely in the right in this whole exchange.

And and the video, by the way, which I know we're doing a radio show, so I can't show it to you, but the video is very uh worthwhile because it shows that not only do you have the usual Acosta crazy rude grandstanding going on, and just also is belligerents toward the president. I mean, the the press corps is seething with hostility toward the president all the time. I mean, not all of them. They are obviously some conservatives and some reasonably neutral members of the press corps

do exist, at least in the questions they ask. I mean, I think they're still big libs, but they do ask real questions. But you get into the the acostas and the April Ryan's and some of these there's that they just take every opportunity to say, Mr President, you know, I'm from CNN, when did you stop eating your wife? Sir? And they wanted to stand up there and just take it. And thank god the president does not. I mean, Acosta should be ashamed of himself, but the guy is incapable

of shame. I mean the guy. First of all, the guy's not very smart at all. It's not not even a little bit impressive. He's just he's just somebody who's played the game over at CNN kind of looks the part, sounds the part of the corresponding, and you know, CNN uses him for this purpose. CNN is is really a The whole thing is an act over there. There's all we're objective journalists. Oh, we're just bringing you the facts and the truth that this is all nonsense, it's all garbage,

the whole place. It's really been overcome and really overtaken by the dark side. I mean not to get to star Star Wars on you here, but it has been overcome by an anti trump mania. It wasn't always Wait, people ask me Buck you work at seeing how can you have done that said, well, initially I was doing counter terroristm analysis and yeah, they're too left wing for my taste on that, but at least they would agree with me. Yeah, the the bombing of that bus or

that vehicle attack or whatever that happened in Europe. You know that's really bad, Buck, tell us about it, and that I could do over there. The moment that I shifted over into the political world at CNN. Of but you know, conservative political commentator from the Blaze, all of a sudden, that's what they used to say. I'm like, actually got a nationally syndicated radio show, but slow your role, um. But you know, they would say these things that they bring me on, and then I realized, oh, this is

all just a sham. They don't want a conversation, they don't want to dialogue. This is creating a false perception of open debate and dialogue and journalistic integrity for a left wing audience that can't handle the truth. That's what it is. That is CNN's mission, that is what it pedals day in and day out. But that press conference was by anyone objective standard, completely disgraceful. I mean utterly and completely abhorrently disgraceful. Jim Acosta, acting like a maniac,

wouldn't give the microphone. There's a young White House staffer. The young woman looks to be about you know, and she comes over and the President of the United States is saying, Okay, I'm not taking your question anymore. Please pass the microphone. And she does as she is instructed by the commander in chief to take the microphone and pass to someone else. And Acosta grabs her by the arm and kind of pushes her arm away and grips the microphone like a toddler who doesn't want to give

up a toy in the sandbox. It's not his toy. But Jim Acosta is a toddler. It's the very overpaid one who gets far too much of our attention. I mean, he immediately launches into this, Mr President, you know, you're what you said about the caravan is racist, Jim. That's opie me. That's editorializing. That's not a question. What he does is not posing questions to the Presidented States to

get information for the American people. As a journalist. He is a pundit who is too cowardly to say that's what he is, because then he'd have to actually engage in intellectual debate. I would shred these clowns. For example, anyone at CNN, in any anchor chair on these issues, I would crush them. They're just not very smart. They all hide behind this facade of journalistic integrity. They all hide behind this I'm neutral. At least the Van Jones is. At least the UH I can't remember her name, the

one who's I used to be on all the time. Anyway, I can't remember that. I can't remember some of the names of it. But you at least the opinion people that they call them analysts, which is to kind of elevate them as not being like, you know, pundits. They have to defend their ideas in some level. The worst are the anchors and the correspondence. I mean they're the ones that are really and now there's some nice correspondence

over there too, and there's some nice anchors. It's not all of them, all right, you know this is there. There's some decent there's some decent folks on air over at CNN. So I don't want because some of you say Buck Wi, you know, I saw you with so and so. You're nicest, so and so I have some friends over there, you know, some of my friends over there. But you run down their main line up, you know, you run down the big names and the hashtag resistance

over at CNN. Acosta, Tapper, Uh, Cooper Lemon, Cuomo camar Rosso, Allison Camarossa. Uh, They're they're all making assets of themselves on a regular basis, and none of them are particularly interesting or smart. And the whole thing is this facade of we're just journalists. Yeah right, please slow slow your

role just journalists. Like when Jake Tapper was saying that nobody at CNN was holding a president responsible for those pipe bombs that God said hours after the president of CNN released a statement saying the president needs to the President Nited States needs to know that his words have consequences. Oh yeah, but no one's holding Trump responses. It's just it's just slimy. It were just slimy, very very frustrating,

very very annoying. Um, but I mean a Costa also get you know, he essentially man handles this this woman. I mean there's one person who referred to it as a karate chop, which is is pretty true. You know, Katie Pavlos over at Fox wrote, the only thing physical about this video is Jim Acosta slamming down the arm of a woman doing her job. She's took, Katie told

me right. NBC News they reported it as quote White House aid grabs and tries to physically remove a microphone from CNN correspondent during a conscientious exchange with President Trump at a news conference. I think by the way, I think they changed that headline. I think that that was I think they stealth edited that headline because that's not what I remember. I mean, that's bad enough, but that's not what I remembered before. So that's, uh, that's what

you're dealing with now with the mainstream media. That's how they operate here. And it is indeed very frustrating to watch this play out. But I just I am so thankful that President Trump will call these jokers out. And you know, look, he's he's not a despot. A despot would Saddam style. You know who's saying, not Barack Hussein,

but Saddam Hussein. Uh, Saddam style, you know, march people out and no one knows where they go, right, I mean that that's a despotism, a despotism would be Trump revoking all the press credentials from these people and then telling them if they don't stop criticize them, they're gonna go to prison. And by the way, if Trump did that, I would vociferously and with all the the the platform I have denounced that and work against that. But Trump

is never gonna do that. That's like saying, well, you know, would you guys still listen to me if I came in ans like, so, guess what, guys, I'm a huge lib now and actually I think that I'm a one legged Samoan from the seventeenth century. You might say, well, Buck, that doesn't really comport with reality. I don't think, you know, but you you probably wouldn't still think the show was great, right, But yeah, if if Trump was actually a despot, I'd

have a problem with it. He's not, though, He's not a despot, and I'm not living in the seventeenth century, so we don't really have to worry about these things. We don't really have to be concerned about it. I did. I did see something as an aside, that there's a guy I think he's sixty nine and he wants Tinder, which is a dating app for those of you who don't know, uh so, it's an online dating service. He

wants a judge to legally change his age. I don't even know the details here, but I knew this was coming because he wants to be in his forties because they'll have much more success, he thinks, getting dates with the kind of women he wants. I'm sure he wants to date thirty some things, or maybe even twenty some things,

but he's sixty nine anyway. You know, the the delusions about gender or are soon to be extended to race and age as well, and the Libs are gonna have a really hard time parsing and explaining and defending their various positions on that. But I I have to say, I'm uh, I'm just so, I'm so pleased there the president, he had this press conference, he laid it all down and what he said needed to be said. And when he calls a cost to a rude, terrible person, He's right.

Acosta is a rude, terrible person. It is such an honor and he and and and any CNN journal should feel honored to be given access to the President Nited States in this way, to be able to ask them the questions that they do to present the American people with information. You know, there is an important role here. It is important that our government is put on put in a position to answer questions. And but that doesn't mean that they have to take abuse their human beings too.

You know, it's not that Jim Acosta and others, April Ryan and this other guy, Peter Alexander, that's the guy's name, one of these people who just he clearly he looks like what NBC thinks a news anchor should look like. Therefore he has this job. Other than that seems very unimpressive, fellow,

But they don't understand how lucky they are. I mean, that's one of the big problems I have with a lot of these people in the media is that they think that they're they think they're really special and really important,

and for most of them, they're just very lucky. I'm very lucky to do what I do, and I'm not getting paid millions and millions of dollars to do a job that hundreds and hundreds of other people could do just as well, right, I mean, doing a three hour radio show is distinct to the individual who does it, standing there and asking questions the President United States for a network network, cable show or a cable news channel is something that, yeah, some people do slightly better than others,

but a lot of people can do that job, a lot of people. So people there should be a humility that comes with this profession. And there's just it's so lacking. It's so lacking over at scene, and it really is. And I mentioned this guy Peter Alexander by the way, he gives you more of this, more of what you would expect from the other side where he asks a question that's not a question, it's an editorial statement. I e. It's I think you're terrible. What do you think? Mr President?

Play clip nineteen. It's the same press conference, Mr President, over the course over the course of the last several days of the campaign, Sir, Sir, at the end of the campaign, you repeatedly said that Americans need to fear democrats. You said Democrats would unleash a wave of violent crime that endangerous families everywhere. Why are you why are you pitting Americans against one another? SI? What are you trying

to be him? Let me just tell you very simple, because they're very weak on crime, because they have often suggested members and people within the Democrat Party at a high level have six stid getting rid of Ice, getting rid of law enforcement. That's not gonna happen. Okay, we want to be strong on the borders, we want to be strong on law enforcement. And I want to I want to cherish Ice because Ice does a fantastic job.

Notice how he was asking what could be considered a real question, and then he goes, why are you pitting Americans against each other? Well, you could always say that when one member of one political party criticized the other political party, this is a non question question. Why are you being so divisive? The media likes to do that too. Well, we're in a divided political atmosphere, don't mean, why are

he being so divisive? So I was like saying, why are you so mean and disagreeing with the other side when when you really break this down, you can see just how transparent this whole thing is. I was glad. I was glad that Acosta got what was coming to him in this one. It was it was definitely what needed to happen. And unfortunately it benefits Acosta because the liberal idiots that watch him and the executives Zucker and co over at CNN who signed his paychecks think that

it's great. This is great. They're all for it. So you know what, well, they both want to be They want to be pitied and they want to be considered brave. That's what these journalists are striving for. And it's just preposterous. Hey, producer Mike back in the house, I know you were. You were running some clips there for a second, so so you watched this in real time today too. I was thinking. I was like, I was like, oh, I know, producer Mike is loving the Acosta SmackDown here. Yeah. Man,

we were going wild. It was amazing. It was it was epic. It was really one of the you know, it's almost jaw dropping when you could and you could see the tension. You could just see it through the TV and one of the TV angles. I'm sure you noticed that. How's called close day were it was just like I feel like I was like a boxing match

was about to break out. Oh absolutely, you know, you know, I think by the way, you know, we've obviously got Jeff Sessions gone and and the other the other big name it's always been said, is is gonna you know, leave the White House of Sarah Huckaby Sanders. She's about to be out. According to me. That's according to my sources in the White House, and I've been but I mean it's been reported. I mean I've heard it. People

have heard it from other people too. But I've also talked to White House folks and they said, that's that's coming for a long time. Uh. I think that the President is going to take on a lot more of these briefings himself. I think the President realizes that the best thing for him is is when the American people see the way these maniacs act and they're really doing it to the President of United States, what do you think, man? I couldn't I like it? Yeah, I couldn't agree more.

He sees, you know, they're in their own little bubble in that room, and they still have no clue how the American people view what they're doing. And I think they see him as being attacked and he's you know, they were cornering him today and he fought back and his bass loves that and they I mean, if last night didn't get him reelected, that you know, that could have today. I mean, it was amazing when he was doing Oh, Yeah, that was great. I mean it comes

after also the Democrat there was no blue wave. Clearly it's not what they were hoping for there. Some of them were basically crying about this thing and then they come in and you know what it was meant. They were just trying to they were just trying to, uh make a statement about how they're still gonna be hashtag resistance and Trump was kind of like, bring it, fools, what you got? Yeah, that was amazing. I'm glad. I knew you were a joy it today too. But I

was like I was gonna start texting. My phone was low and choice. But I'm like, Mike, have seen this one. When we were talking at all, right, I told you like we were in like one of our offices here about three or four other people, and we just were like going back. We're like cheering like it was a sporting about. We're like, oh my god, and people are like walking by the office like sticking her head, like what's going on in there? And I love it? Man,

all right, we got we got Harlan Hill. Guys gonna drop some knowledge on what happened last night coming up here in just a moment. It's a wonderful thing that you can send resumes anywhere, and you can post for jobs, you can apply for jobs, you can get involved in the job market. But when you're hiring people, how do you know that you're getting the individual that you think you are right? All you're looking at is a piece of paper, maybe an email. Guess what people write stuff?

People present themselves in way. It's just not true. You need remember how small or large your company is. Those of you who are in the HR departments of huge, fortunate one companies, those of you've got ten employees. You gotta start up. You want to have a background investigation and vetting company you know you can trust. That's Global Verification Network. They're the only dual certified veteran owned company in this space, all right, they are the ones you

want to go to. I know the CEO personally. He's an incredibly quality guy, uh and he will make sure that your questions get answered through this whole process call eight seven seven six nine five one seven nine eight seven seven six nine five one one seven nine. So a lot of big things happened after the results were finally tallied last night. We've had a lot in the

news cycle to tackle. I want to bring in one of my favorite fellow Republican voices from here in the swamp to just help us make sense of it all. Our friend Harlan Hill is with us now. He is a Republican consultants also a member of the Trump twenty Board of Advisors. Harlan great to have you back, my friend. Thank you, Buck greaty with you. How are you feeling about all this and what what is your sense of

where we are now? Yeah, we don't have to go through race by race, but okay, we gotta split split decision here house goes one way, set it goes the other. How are things looking in Mago world? We'll I'll be honest with you. I had fully prepared myself for a night that was much worse than well. We ended up

getting um and all at all. I think it was mostly a watch between the Democrats and the Republicans, and we were promised the blue wave and what we talked with you know, I got a little small wave in the House for the Democrats, but a nice wave for Republicans in the Senate, and the fact that we were able to hold onto a couple of key governors races in Ohio and Florida votes extremely well for US as

we looked at the President's reelection prospects. So I think it was all in all a pretty good night slid. And the President, as far as I can tell, I mean, he comes out and he says, look, people that in prickly in the house, who we're trying to distance themselves from me, there's a very there's a lot of clear data now that they got they got wiped out essentially. You know, Comstock in Virginia mea love and he mentioned

a bunch of them by name. And in places where Trump showed up and and really campaigned hard, there were very tangible benefits for those Republican candidates. So I feel like Trump wasn't on the ballot but yet had a positive effect for the party, which means that when Trump is once again on the ballot, Democrats better bring more than their a game. They've better bring somebody else's game. Absolutely,

I mean, this is the party of Trump now. And if you were a Republican that it held on and tried to reflect the whole Republican party that had lost time and time again, you know, if you were one of those McCain acolytes or Romney and you you thought their brand of conservatism was going to save the party and and you know, lead us back to the White House. Um, you know you're irrelevant now and either you were primaried

or you retired for last week you lost. And I think this is an important moment for the Republican Party as we reset. The President has assumed control and the Democrats have no leadership. To your point, I mean, it's it's unclear to me where that's going to even come from. Where's the next generation of talent for them? Where's the bench? Uh? You know, theoretically last night, going into last night, it was supposed to be Abrahams and Georgia. It was supposed

to be a Gillum in Florida and Aurora, Texas. Those were the three saviors of the Democrat Party. And you know, people were speculating that some combination of them or them plus maybe a more establishment Democrat would make for a great ticket. All three of them lost. But even going beyond that, the leader of the Democratic Party in exile, uh, Barack Obama. Every single candidate that he supported that he went out in campaigned for lost last night. So while

the President's popularity with his party is surging. The advocacy of his campaign is through the roof. Barack Obama is totally irrelevant. He couldn't pull any of these people across the finish line. The Democrats are in trouble. I think the Democrats are definitely in trouble. And when I saw we we did a poll at the at the Hill, and the top the top contenders for who should run against Trump are Biden, Sanders and and and I mean

there's none of the above. And this is Democrats being so When none of the above is ist of the of the Democrat base in terms of who they think of the of the candidates that are currently under discussion should run against Trump, that tells you a lot. But you know, I've got to also say, I mean Nancy Pelosi is something of a walking talking ad for Republicans. I mean, I think that the more the more Pelosi we can see on the national stage in advance of

the better. And I also think that we're heading toward a political stalemate here from a legislative point at least, where you know, there's all we're gonna be doing Harlem for the next two years is talking about investigations. You know, scandals real and imagined, and candidates because I don't think anything is really gonna get done. No, I mean not in the Congress at least. I mean, you know, Trump

will do what he does. But right, well, and what's so frustrating about this is, you know, we're over three years into the Russia talk. I mean, this started before the president even got elected. They were trying to plant seeds of doubt about the President's legitimacy before he even became president. And um, now it's reached a fevered pitch. People are starting to really tune it out. In mainland America when you look at the polling, they don't care.

They want to move past this. They love the economy, they love the direction of the country. And you know, until the Democrats can prove provide a shred of evidence to substantiate any of the claims that they made against the president in terms of Russian conclusion, then people aren't gonna care. And considering that we're two years into the investigation, we're three years into the talk of this, I don't I have no confidence the Democrats have any ability to

produce any of that evidence because it doesn't exist. You know, it doesn't exist, and so they can talk about this all they want. Voters don't give arrests behind about it, and uh, this provides an opening for the president. And what I love most about Nancy poul being in a position of leadership is one her caucus is incredibly divided. They're over sixty Democrats in the House and said that they're going to oppose her her bid for leadership. There's

gonna be a nasty fight. Um. And even if she is able to become secret she probably will be, her caucus is gonna be divided. They're going to be fighting, and her ability to keep this very slim majority that she has together is in question. And the President is going to take advantage of that, as he always does, because he does best when he has a foil, when he has somebody, uh you know, to to pin to

pin against him. I feel like what we saw today Harlan in that wildly entertaining but also really kind of disturbing press conference where the press that they're they're not hiding it at all. I mean, it's been obvious that they're hostile to the president in a way where they are not just partisans, but they're rude and and they they really are making allegations in the form of questions

ring press conferences. You know, so, sir, since you're a racist, what do you think about, you know, the price of of you know, soybeans right now? I mean that they'll just it's so clear that they're trying to grant stand

and take swipes the president. But what I think we saw today and it wasn't just a Costa there are some others there too, is we are now just heading into this this bare knuckle political fight that is going to culminate in election, and that's gonna be the defining conversation in American politics, which is just the partisan battle over Trump. I don't see any unless there's some unforeseen unless we, you know, go to war with North Korea. I don't see something that's gonna distract from that or

take us on a different path. Well, and look, we'll stop calling the media and people like Jim Acosta the enemy of the people when they stopped lying about the president, when they stopped slandering his supporters, um, when we stopped lying to their own viewers, um, which is exactly what CNN and other networks like them do. By the way,

I'm you know, this firsthand. I'm sure because if you've been on CNN, you know that it's you know, typically seven Democrats against one Republican, which is the most dishonest portrayal of the country that you could provide to viewers possible. And they usually and they want the least effective Republican spokespersons that they can get. I mean, they either want to never trump er. I mean they want something like

Anna Navarro, who's a joke in a clown. But you know, I mean even people that will at least try to take a not even necessarily pro Trump, just not anti Trump point of view on the right, they generally want people who are punching bags were clay pigeons, as we say in the business. And it's just it's just gross and Tapper and Cooper and all the rest of them. They're just frauds. The whole thing is dishonest. Yeah, it is.

And um, I'm glad the president is fighting back. You know, I've had enough of this, and I think his supporters have too. He's got a mandate to do this, He's got a mandate to push back. I mean a cost was up there. Uh, This poor girl that works for in the White House com shop went to go retrieve the microphone because it was time for another reporter to ask questions, because you know, a cost had his chance to ask a question. The President answered it, and it

was time to move on. And if you watch the video, looks like he assaulted this girl. He pushed her arm down, grabbed the mic back with two hands. He got very aggressive and physical with this young lady. And you know, it's it's reached the point where he is just out of control. He's rude, he's aggressive, and he's getting increasingly physical in these in these press conferences, and and TN in better wake up and start doing something about it,

because they, i mean, they've lost their rating. Nobody watches that garbage, but they've they've they've also just totally squandered their brand too. If you, by the way, Harlan, you have you have real connections into the White House. I'm just wondering, how do you have any whether based on sources or just your own, your own sense of where this is heading. Do you have any thoughts on one on how the White House feels the day after this mid term and then also where we're going with the

Attorney General situation? Yeah, I think it Houses is pleased. Um, you know, they know that the historical trends were working against us. You know, we should have given back some significant grounds in the mid terms. And I think that we fixed our expectations. And that's because the President and Vice President Pence and the rest administration vocalized for the last month going to every corner of this country to

drive out the president supporters. And if the President the Vice President hadn't done that, last night would have been a very different story. It would have been much worse. So don't listen to any moderate Republican or somebody that is uh, you know, speaking you know, without giving their names to a reporter and saying that the President is the reason that, you know, uh, we lost the House

last night. No, the President is the reason that we were able to pick up seats in the Senate and held on to as many of the seats as we did in the House, and were forty four Republicans retire, right, and we're gonna lose thirty two seats or something like that. And then're not some that's in a mid term year, that's a that's a resident. I'll take As for them, I'm sorry, what was the second questions, Oh, the Attorney General Sessions is gone? Now what? Oh? Yeah, thank guy.

You know, one of the president's promises was that, you know, we would drained the swamp, and and part of that is going after corruption that exists in the little Washington and it really permeates the Democratic Party. And um, you know, I was hopeful that when Jeff Sessions stepped into this role as Attorney general back in twenty seventeen that um,

you know, he would he would chase that down. He didn't, and we're from that He's compromised the entire administration by advocating his role um and uh and and appointing that special prosecutors. So, uh, you know, he needed to go. He was ineffectual. He wasn't doing anything that what was he doing, What was he doing at d O J. Nothing? This guy, I mean, I think he's he's got a low I q Uh. He compromised the entire movement. Um, and the president had zero confidence in him. It was

time to make a change. So uh, I think he was going on immigration, Harlan, I'll be honest with you, and I I think I think you're being a little harsh on Jeff. But as everybody who listen to the show knows, Jeff has actually called into the show a bunch of times. So I'm I got a little soft spot for the now former a g But nonetheless, man, I I appreciate your perspective on it. Everybody. If you're not already, you should follow Harlan on Twitter and you'll

obviously see him popping up all the time on Fox News. Harlan, my brother down here in the swamp. Stay in the fight. All right. We say shields high on our team, So that's what you gotta do. Keep your shield high, all right, my friend, thank you. I gotta move around a lot of team, and that means that I end up using public WiFi, right, I got no choice. Sometimes on airplanes,

on trains.

Why don't you just give

him the market place. I've answered the question. Go ahead, take the take. Well, I'll give you voters, so I will give you voter suppression. You just have to sit down. Please sit down. I didn't call you. I didn't call you. I didn't call you. I'll give you voter suppression. Take a look at the CNN polls. How inaccurate they were. That's called voter suppression. Go ahead, please thank you, Mr President. I'm not responding. I'm responding to Excuse me, I'm not

responding to you. I'm talking to this gentleman. Would you please sit down? Would excuse me, excuse me, would you please sit down? Please go ahead? Thank you, Mr President. Now that the House of representing hostile, it's such a hostile media. It's so sad you asked me about no you rudely interrupted him. You rudely interrupted him. I love it when the President does this. It needs to be done. That was left wing political hacks slash journal April Ryan.

I'm sure people are gonna say it's sexist and racist because she's a black female for the President to tell her that it is not her turn right, because anything that's President Jaws is sexist and racist. Even though he was trying to take a question from our friend and Deli caller reporters Saga and Jetty, who is South Asian so he is brown, but nonetheless trying to let one brown reporter speak and not letting an African American female

reporter just interrupt and demand the floor is considered racist. Now, these are the new rules of journalism in the Trump era, apparently, and it's just so necessary. The President draws of of a firm a firm line on this one. I mean, really is clear that he won't allow people to act this way without Look, he's you know, This is what gets me so mad to journalists act up. And we obviously have talked about the Acosta thing, and I bet this is an acostas a performance artist. Now this is

what he does. And Acosta just dear Diary. President Trump was mean to be. You know, he's more famous than he's ever been. I'm sure see an contract is fatter now with more cash attached to it than ever before. He's doing just fine. But these journal types cause a scene April Ryan Jim Acosta, that other guy who was you know, licking Acosta's boots today remembers from NBC. Uh, they cause a scene, and then they claim that the

president is a despot. Then they claimed the president is acting in some totalitarian fashion and he's shutting down the First Amendment and how could he and it's so awful, all this stuff. All he does in response to say, can you not be rude? Can you not act like a spoiled little child? Can you not be a big

baby about this? How about that? And the response to that from the people who are acting like huge babies is no surprise where and they claim that the president is ruining the country, destroying the First Amendment, and look at the media lost all credibility when it comes to objectivity under eight years of Obama? Are they lost all their Anybody who starts all the media's are there? Nonpartisan? Are neutral? They're either just delusional or stupid. Right, The

mainstream media is over. The media in general in the news business is over lib them registers independence. By the way, I love that so funny. Oh, you're really fooling everybody with your independent that's the Don Lemon maneuver. Will excuse me, I'm an independent? Okay, you're an independent? No, now, I guess you're not a part as a hack. What a

joke these clowns are. But they lost all of their claims to independence during the Obama years, no question about it, all right, They just they just got rid of all that. Now what we see is not only were they willing to just lie down take whatever Obama gave them, give Obama the verbal equivalent of a constant BackRub in the West wing. I mean, it was just an embarrassment. Not only were they willing to do that, but then under

the Obama I mean, onto the Trump administration. Now what you see is there they are ferociously and childishly hostile to this president. I mean, they just throw tantrum after tantrum, and Jim Acosta is just the America's baby in chief right now, just doing this nonsense. He doesn't even ask smart questions. I mean, if Jim Acosta would actually ask an intelligent question once in a while, I'd give him

a little bit more credit. And you know, I'd say, for every real question you get from a Costa, there are three speeches where a Costa is effectively grabbing the mic for himself to try to get all of the Libs who watch CNN excited. And it's just it's just terrible. I mean, it's just I'm so sick of it, and thank Heavens that Trump just doesn't doesn't sit there and

take it. If we had Romney as our president right now, which I know, I don't even I know he won the Senate, whatever we had Romney's are president right now, you just sit up there like, okay, everybody, can we be a little nicer? Please? Can we uh, let's come down. They would just steam roll him. The libs need to be taught a lesson, and none more so than the libs in the press, and none more so than CNN.

I love it. When the President slaps them around verbally, unlike a Costa who gets a little rough physically with young women trying to take the mic from him. There was a dream tonight for Democrats, which was that early on they'd be able to say, Okay, we you know, we won a couple in Virginia, we want in Kentucky, and this is going to show that this wave is starting and you can't stop it. Now. There's no tsunami.

There's there's no tsunami coming. I mean, winning the House by one vote, by one member is enough is enough for them. But there's a lot of disappointment that I'm hearing from people. The excitement, I think is the the cliche balloon is popping. This is heartbreaking. Though it's heartbreaking. The hope has been that the antibodies would kick in, that this sort of infestation of hatred and division would would would dry response from the American people willing in

both parties to say no and no, no more. Uh. That does not seem to be happening tonight. It's not a blue wave, but it's still a blue war. We've got to continue the fight forward. We do have to continue to fight forward, but on the other side, and I think that the antibodies have kicked in. It's just the infection is leftism, state is um collectivism. The infection is what we refer to as liberalism today, which is really a form of sanitized insanity. That is what you

have now on the left. These are people that you cannot have a normal, responsible conversation with on a whole host of issues. These are people who will say things that in any other time in human history, anyone with a normal functioning brain would say that is crazy. But now here we are now there are not two genders, there are thirty seven. Now we're all going to die unless we restrict c O two in the atmosphere by

riding bicycles and eating less red meat. Now, we need to find ways to make the government even larger in our lives and more in control of our health care than ever before, because the government is so good at efficiency and the delivery of goods and services. This is insanity. And what you were shown last night without any hesitation, but left without any question, is that they have learned nothing. Since I really want to hammer home that point tonight.

Nothing for them has changed. They do not stop and think, well, hold on a second, not only did Trump win that election, whether they want to pretend that Russia was involved that that doesn't even matter. I mean not only to do win that, but now if Trump has been president for almost two years and the American people that voted for him, then don't just think that was the right decision at that time, but want him to continue to be in charge and his party to be in charge because they

think that they're doing a good job at governance. So while Van Jones and others at CNN can talk about the infestation of racism all the time without well, what specifics are we ever given about that? Because we want to secure border, that makes you racist. If wanting the border to be secure makes you a racist, then I suppose half the country is racist. If wanting the rule of law to be enforced irrespective of a person's skin color or national origin makes you a racist, then I

guess half the country a racist. So if that is the case, then maybe they should just give up this talking point about how the country is so racist all the time, because we're not going to change on those points. I'm not going to change on rule of law. I'm not going to give up because of the moral blackmail they engage in on issues of immigration, acting like because we want sovereignty and rule of law were the equivalent of Plan members or something. All right, this is just

unacceptable rhetoric from the left. But just remember I'm telling you this. They have learned nothing. They will change nothing, and now all we can do is win like soft butter on warm toast. Time to spread some freedom coast to coast. It's time for Roll call. Alright, team, it has been quite at twenty four hours or so, so we've got a lot, a lot to discuss here on Roll Call, and I appreciate hearing from from all of you as always. Man, it it was. It was wild

last night. We did live coverage at at Hill TV and we were up until thirty and then I went to sleep at probably one and got back up at five, and yeah, it was. It was a tiring day. I managed to fall asleep about noon the next you know, today and just let all of the maga soak in, let all of the events that we've been discussing here on the show simmer a little bit in my mind. So it was. It's it's been quite a thing. I just as as I've said, prepare for battle. That's what

we're in for for the next two years. It's just this is just gonna be an all out war in politics for control in But let's see what you think about all the things, Michael. By the way, this comes to us via Facebook dot com slash buck Sex, and Michael writes, so long to your buddy Jeff Sessions. I know, Michael, you know, I'm I'm very much of of two minds about this. I mean, the president needs to have somebody

that you know, he can trust. The president needs to have somebody on his side that he you know, isn't isn't worried about falling into the the lib mentality on things. I mean, I I so, I I understand that. And the people say, oh, the Attorney general is supposed to be nonpartist, the Attorney John is supposed to here to the law everyone, But let's let's put on our big

boy pants. I understand that, just like with the Supreme Court, there are ideological frameworks that people apply to the law and that matters, and we should not the other side is certainly aware of it. We should not pretend that we are not aware of it. Um. But yeah, you know, so I understand why he wanted somebody's a little more more of a fighter under the circumstances. I think Jeff Session is a very very honorable guy. I think he

did everything that he could under the circumstances. Uh too, you know, be good the administration in terms of policy, but he clearly was not ready for this moment of all out street rowling with the Damns. All right. Next up here, Tom writes buck love the show. I'm a truck driver and listen on a few days a few days delay on podcast. I'm from New Jersey but recently moved to Kentucky to escape the liberal nonsense. I can't believe my old home voted in Menendez. It's unreal, all

the brainwashed people in this country. Thanks for everything you do, Shields Tie well, thank you Tom for listening. Very much appreciated. And ask for New Jersey with Menendez. You know, they how do I how do I put it? They decided in the New Jersey they wanted, you know, guys got a little bit of dirt on them, you know, a little Menendez. They they understand they feel like a you know, he's a guy who uh he's a guy's guy because

you know he's got problems. Maybe you can put a little leverage, put a little lean on him, you know what I mean. That's uh, that's the it's the New Jersey way. I mean there's a part of Look, I have so many friends and everything from New Jersey. I'm just as a New Yorker. I'm allowed to have fun in New Jersey. It's like when people in Texas say that we're deporting the wrong people. We need to be deporting Oklahoman's. I mean, that's not all me, that's what

they say. But you know that's a Texas, Oklahoma thing. And with New York and New Jersey there's a special, a special relationship where we kid, you know, we make little jokes here and there, but I I I agree and me onto a serious point here, the fact that New Jersey who who votes for Menendez? I mean, he was so close to being indicted for felony corruption and that's the best, that's the best New Jersey can do.

Never mind some of the other allegations against him, which if you go back to about twelve you'll see what they were. They were published, they they never approven, but sketchy stuff out there about him sketchy stuff. And I'm not you know, I'm not saying that he should go to prison for things that are improven. I'm just saying that's who you want to elect to be your senator. I don't know. That seems to me to be uh, it seems to be to be a problem. But people

people get what they get. You know, you get what you get what you get, and you get what you want. That doesn't really make any sense, but you know what I mean, t J writes book. Possible Democrat presidential contender Joe Mansion thoughts, um, well, I he's a Democrat, t J. So I don't really like that idea. I do think though, this is an opening for me to say that what I would like to have happened is, um, I would like for us to convince Mansion to switch over. Mansion

should switch parties. You know, he is no longer really a Democrat. And I think the Kavanaugh vote, as much as it saved his Senate seat for him, I think that will be held against him by the party for a very very long time. So it's this is not this is not something that they will forget either. I mean, I think it's it's tough to tell whether for Mansion it was a point of honor or a point of political self preservation. I think you make a case for

Mansion that it was either. But he made the right move, you know, just like with Jeff Flake. Jeff Flake is as a whimp and Jeff Lake should not be representing Republicans anywhere. But he did the right thing at the end of the day. On Kavanaugh. It took him a while to get there, and he took a risk he didn't have to, I think in the one week extension.

But there is an argument to be made that that week really did take a lot of the heat out of the argument from the other side that you know, it was a risk, and I think that, you know, I don't think it was a necessary risk, but you can't argue that the risk worked out in the long run. And obviously Kavanaugh. You know, All's well, that ends well as the short version of what I'm trying to say. Uh Keith writes, Hey, Buck, just curious, were the Republican

congressmen that retired a bunch of never trumpers. I wonder how many of the seats we kept and if they were a lot of never trumpers and if we did lose a lot of those seats. Could losing the House be an intentional way of hurting the Trump agenda on their part? Uh? You know, Keith, I do think that there were people that didn't want to run again because they thought that they would they would lose, and they and they don't really want to be a part of

Trump's Republican Party anymore. There also was this point that Trump brought up today in the press conference about how if you've been a committee chairman, you know, there's you can't continue to be a chairman after a period of time. So there's a number of factors. But there were a huge, relatively speaking, huge number of Republican retirements and that's a that's an issue. That's an issue for sure. Joe writes, no faith in Florida, Buck, no worries. We were sweating too,

but we came through shields high oss, Joe, Joe. I gotta give it credit to my Republican brothers and sisters down in Florida. You guys turned out. You guys brave the rain storms that were up in the Tallahassee area, and I guess some other parts of the state too. Uh, you know, I I think that you guys came through in a really important way because the big story they wanted last night were winds in the Senate and the

Governor's House in Florida. For the Democrats, Gillham as the next generation of national level Democrat left wing political figure, those were the Those were the big stories they want. Yeah, they wanted Beto, but Beto was a Beto was a pipe dream. Okay, he didn't lose by ten, I know,

I said that, but he lost by four I think. Uh. And they spent seventy million dollars on it, So you know, at what point do you say, Okay, well, he would have lost by ten if they hadn't thrown more money into this Senate race than any other Senate race in history, in history to try and go right into GOP stronghold of Texas and take a seat there. I mean, it was bold, but it was foolish, brave but dumb. I think it's how you could describe it. Jenna right sad night.

For Wisconsin, Scott Walker is one politician who says what he's going to do and then does it. I'm shocked at Wisconsin went so Democrat, but I live far from Madison listening to you when some other conservatives bring sanity.

My hope remains in odd not in people. Jenna, Jenna, thank you so much for writing and writing and and uh yeah, I mean, you know, I think with Wisconsin there was just eventually the desire for change overcomes better judgment of the general population in a place people think, well, you know, we we how many times have we had to pull the lever for Walker? I know people would argue the other side of this is, well, when you're used to pulling the lever for somebody, you keep doing it.

It even reminds me of that pretty mediocre Eddie Murphy movie back in the day they distinguished gentleman Jeff Johnson a name you know, where he just runs on the name of a deceased congressman and he wins because that's who everyone's used to voting for. And it's it's really the whole movie is kind of a one trick pony and that Okay, that's kind of a funny concept, but the rest of the movie is pretty boring, kind of sucks.

But you know, I do think that with Walker, people just they just got worn down by the progressives who really would never let it go that he took on the public sector unions in that state. And I mean that was a crazy story. Back in twelve what was going on there that was really Uh you have people taken over the state capitol there in Wisconsin with these really these kind of riot like situations. I mean, these

sit ins and everything. It was just nuts all because you know, we figured, well, maybe the taxpayers shouldn't be completely punished with gold plated benefit programs for public sector unions. Maybe that's something that they should address. Uh, next we have up. Alright, Hey, Buck, I call your brief message about how Americans really don't want government telling them who they can be. That is so true. They don't hurt anybody by breaking laws. They need to back the hell

away and let freedom ring warts and all. I agree up, and your name is cool. Thank you for writing in. Uh yohann Hello Buck me again. Let's try this. I have a bad habit of hitting the enter key listening to the show tonight, and at the end you were reading listeners messages. You said that you wanted to read a critical one, and I thought that had to be mine. I hope you're changed your mind about thinking I was

being critical. I just have a bit different take on one thing, you know, man buxter Um, Well no I don't. I wasn't actually thinking of yours. Okay, Well here we go, Johan. Here here's what you wrote. Buck. This is an earlier message that I just missed. Johan, by the way, just so you know, uh, I get We're getting hundreds and hundreds of messages in all the time, and so it's

just I can't get to all of them. And some people have figured out the times that I tend to look at these and pick out messages to read on air. They've gamed the system a little bit, so their names appear a little more frequently in the roll call. But hey, I appreciate the enthusiasm, you know. I gotta yeah, I gotta people are gonna you know, they're gonna play the game. Well, you gotta respect the respect the player. But Johan, the

critical message was this, Buck, you're the best. I can't take the other talk show host for more than a few minutes. I almost or I always agree with you, but it's not. You said a few things I could not get behind. First, calling the military the warrior class. I think that is dangerous thinking that they are a separate class. I prefer to think they are Americans that server are serving. I retired after more than thirty years active, reserved, Navy,

and Army. Um. I hated the military, but by no stretch of my lefty what I did like about being in with some of the people I lived and work with, the cool things I did places I went. I didn't like the mickey mouse stuff that seemed more important to some folks, like tucking in your shirt during PT. I also didn't like taking orders, which I think is basically an American kind of thing. Um. Uh, none that anyway, Buck,

you are still the best from Johannio, Y know. And I mean sure, that's by the way, it's completely wouldn't even say a criticisms, just a different opinion, but it's completely valid. Uh. And when I refer to the Warrior class, I mean I don't mean to separate them out as in their distinct or different from Americans. That just mean that they have served in a way that is just different. Uh, just different, gosh, Buck, distinct or different, just different, It's

just different. Another bucket is m I'm really letting them fly these days, So that's gonna be it. For the Hut today. My friends, we got a lot ahead of us, so thanks for being here, Shields High. Guess what I just did, Team I had a moment where I was thinking about something I want to share a thought. Oh

that's right, I logged in to snippy dot com. You may have heard me talk a little bit about snippy if this new social media site, and it's filling a very important need because, as you know, the big social media platforms out there have been engaged in all kinds of censorship. And you know that excuse against conservatives. They do shadow banning. You don't even know if they're censoring you.

That's what's so crazy, right, But if you just want to post things and know that the conversation is what it is and that your thoughts, your opinions matter, snippy dot com is the unbiased social media platform that you've been waiting for. It's all about conversation and community. You're free to express your thoughts there. Well, this is totally free,

all right. I'm telling you to go to snippy dot com um set up an account like thousands of members of Team Buck already have, and just start posting and use the interface. They've got new updates. There's no shadow betting, no suppression of conservative thought. Snippy dot com again, snippy dot com
