Bar Room Brawl

This is the bus Sexton Show, where the mission or mission is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence, make no mistakes America Great, You're a great American. Again, the Buck Sexton Show begins. No, Welcome to the buck Sexton Show. Everybody. Great to have you here with me. I am deep behind swampy lines here in our nation's capital, the District of Columbia. It's great for the political access, but bad for the soul. That's how That's how I

described being down here. I'm like, oh, is that Congressmen so and so I see across the street, see a whole bunch of lobbyists chasing after him. But no, it's certainly been interesting down here, and I'm looking forward to telling you more about the project than I am working on and what's coming your way. Those of you who have been giving me suggestions about things you would like the freedom how to expand to, I can tell you

it is. It is happening, my friends. There'll be a lot more coming up, and I'm hopefully keeping you on the edge of your seat. Who gets the final rose We'll tell you right after this break. But I can't pull that off quite the same way. Uh. Trump lawyers understands. Uh, he understands right now that this is a bar room brawl with high priced lawyers in the middle of it. That's what's going on. They're trying to take down this president.

And that's why the release of these questions, I think was so interesting, was so important for everyone to see that this is not narrowly tailored. In fact, I saw earlier today a a former Whitewater prosecutor saying that given just the questions that are out there, assuming that the authenticity of them from from Muller, that you know he didn't give them, or at least we don't think he gave them, but that that those were in fact the

questions he was planning to ask. It's a two day long process, twelve hours perhaps of questioning here, which reminds me of you know what friends of mine I had to go through with their security clearance process. Right, just questions and hours and hours and hours. They wear you down, try to see if you mess up. Let's just take a step back for one moment and all be quite clear. The President of the United States should not be put through this based on the flimsy, nonsense witch hunt rationale

that we've been offered up to this point. It is just simply insane that this is where we are. It makes no sense for the president to have to suffer through all this garbage. And I really have had enough of it. But unfortunately we are in, as I said, a bar room brawl. And you can't be the guy in the corner who's like, excuse me, sorry, I do not think I would like to park take in this brawl. That guy gets hit with a pool queue, he's he's

not going to be standing on two feet for very long. Right, you gotta square up and deal with what the other side is is doing to try to get you and that's where Trump is right now. Uh he I think also realizes that there is there's a little bit of a shift going on right now from the war of attrition between the Special Council and the Trump in the White House, right a war of attrition where it's just date and day out, whose narrative can damage the other

side more? You know, Trump having to play a lot of defense going on, some offense too. But the idea of being that they can isolate the administration from its supporters, that Muller and the Special Council can prevent or can scare away top legal counsel from coming to Trump's defense. That if they just chip away at this administration date and day out, and they make it as hostile as possible for the president United States, that eventually it will

it will crack. Eventually they will get their way. And I think that now what you see is a shift with the questions out there, there's an understanding that this is coming to a head at some point. I'm not saying it's going to be over, but there will be a you know, the the this will be the big battle and in act two of a three act play. Now, this is gonna be where victory or defeat is established. And that's why Trump now having a new lawyer on

the team. I know, cob Ty Cobb is a stepping aside, says he's retiring, but he's now got the lawyer who was, who has been an impeachment lawyer in the past, so understands the game right Flood is his name. So that's a big change. That's a positive change. Rudy Giuliani and his team. I think that's good. Rudy understands this stuff really well. You know, he may you know as he lost a step. Is is he the best in the game right now? I can't tell you. I don't know. Know,

it's a very specific thing. When you're you're not just looking for a great lawyer here for Trump. You are looking for a great lawyer who can handle the pressure of what's going on right now and also understands the stakes and what the other side is going to try to do. Um. So there there, I think their lines the plot right now you have the Trump administration, the President himself putting some good pieces around him too to fight.

And then when I'm what I'm going for here with the moment that is approaching us is you're either gonna have Mueller coming forward some kind of a report, or you are going to have the destruction of the Russia collusion narrative in advance of that report. And I think that's really important. I think that we have come to the point. And I've seen some others advocating for this. Uh, our friend Kim Strassol from the Wall Street Journal has been doing great work on it, and there there are

others two. But I've been saying it for a long time. It's time for Trump to go on offense, declassify it, take whatever measures you need to as the commander in chief to get the information out there about how we find ourselves at this point in time. There is a presidency at stake here. The opposition started out the anti Trump left pretended it was all about our you know, our our democracy and our institutions, and that was just

all sanctimony. That was all a cover for the the venom in their hearts when it comes to this president and the agenda and and what they think could have been, what should have been, which was a Hillary presidency, what have been amazing. That's what they believe they were entitled to. They didn't get it. So they've wanted payback all along,

and they've also wanted to derail the president. And now I think we're at the point where waiting is not to you know, the the attrition component of this that try to wait out the other side, it's not gonna be good enough. I think Trump should take everything he can and make it public. We should know who gave the dossier, to whom when they saw it, How did the FISA warrant get done? What surveillance people say, all

the sources and methods, of sources and methods. Unless someone is really going to be an imminent danger from the disclosure of these sources and methods, Uh, it should be out there for the American people to know. Yeah. Just do is Carter Page losing sleep at night because people know that he was a subject of a FISI warrant? I don't think so. In fact, he likes to go

on TV and talk about it. So there are a lot of games that are played here, a lot of games that are played by and in some cases the same people who may have in fact leaked information to hurt the president. You know, they're all about leak in the dossier, but they don't want transparency about how the dossier got leaked. I guess it's not really surprising, but this is this is now, and it's an all out war. It has been for a long time. But I don't

think it's enough for the president beyond on defense. I know that he tweeted out today, quote what are they afraid of? Why so much redacting? Why such unequal justice? At some point I will have no choice but to use the powers granted to the presidency and get involved. Yes, do this. Some of the people are on the president have not served him well in this process. There never should have been a special counsel. It should not have been.

It should not have happened. It wasn't necessary, it wasn't needed, it wasn't fair. But we have one because of these really odious characters Comy Patrick Fitzgerald now working with Comy, but you know he was a Scooter Livy Guy uh Sally Yates, Mueller. This is this is what we are seeing playing out right now, and Trump needs to make sure that those characters don't get their way, which would bring down this presidency. I mean, is this president being

set up. We've got Jonathan Turley, one of the more prominent legal animals we've got, we got the dirsh and we got Turley talking about all the latest year. So we don't actually have them joining on the show. We've got some sound bites of them, but that's good enough for today. We'll get them another time. Dersh and I are I's gonna say we're buds. Technically we're not. He has probably no idea who I am, although we've met many times. Um, But we'll get him on the show

at some point. Turley on whether Trump is being set up play clip too. I think there may be a set up here. Whenever you go into these things, you have to assume that it could be a perjury trap. So it doesn't mean you have to fall in it. I've done a lot of depositions that are a lot more complex than this. He has very good attorneys that will be there with him if he preps. If he prepares with those attorneys and listens to them, yes, I you could get through this. I also agree with them

that the alternative is not particularly appealing. If he decides to bunker down, uh, then Mueller could hit him with a subpoena. Now he could challenge that in federal court, but I think he would lose. Now does he want that to be the media being generated going into the midterm elections. UM. That's a tough call to make and it will come at costs. Dersh Woz also way to in the dirsh on the subpoena play for I think

we we're going is to a subpoena. I think right now the president's legal team should have no interest in answering these enormously broad questions voluntarily. They'll get the same broad questions artfully asked at a grand jury, but at least they'll be able to challenge a the entire process of subpoenaing the president. They'll lose on that, say they will. I think they will lose on that. I think they will win on some areas of questioning, for example, why

did you fire? What was your motive? What was your reasoning? I don't think you can question presidential acts that are covered by Article too, but you can't get too intense. I don't think you can or motive. But I think what you can get to is what the president's most vulnerable on, and that is business dealings before he became president. No court is going to deny the grand jury the

power to get to those questions. Of the irony is those questions that he has the best legal right to prevent are not the most important questions, whereas the ones he has no legal right to prevent are the most damaging questions. Let's just play this out for a second. Can you imagine what the country is like the day after Mueller, say, tries to Let's just go in the future little bit here. We'll take a scenario. Trump does speak to Muller and there are questions of which I

think is a terrible idea. He shouldn't do it. He should fight it every step of the way. And I actually disagree with Earli there that you know, well, you can't just hunker down, no, no, hunkerd out best lawyers you can and also fight it in the court of public opinion as much as possible by making more information public.

We need to know the real collusion, as we have already seen, was between Hillary, the Democrats, and the media and deep state elements in the intelligence apparatus and the FBI to stop Trump and then to take Trump down after they couldn't stop him. We know where the collusion was. We need more facts, more information about that. We need

that to come out. That's the way that you can stop this nonsense from just grinding and grinding on and and stymying this presidency, which is the whole purpose of it anyway. But on the on the business dealings, think about what the country feels like the day after or the day of an indictment by the Special Council for Trump's statements about business dealing things that we don't care about that weren't even illegal and occurred before he was

even running for president. How the thing, I mean, the the level of political tension will be off the charge. It will be nothing like we've seen in my lifetime, to be sure. And they're gonna try to take the president down on that. I think the answer is, by the way, yes, they're definitely going for impeachment, which is gonna be the whole push for the mid terms. They are saying elect Democrats will impeach this president. But if they try to go for criminal charges, it's gonna be pandemonium.

I mean, I really do think it's gonna be dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria because it's just too much. People will not tolerate the swamp acting in quite that way. It's it's a bridge too far. Eight four to five. If you would like to chat, be great to hear from me. We've got our lines open, getting working hard here to get all of our tech up to speed in our mobile freedom hooked down here in d C. Eight. All right, we'll talk about Kanye. We'll talk about this

government jobs study. I thought it was really interesting and a whole lot more some other random topics. I think you really enjoy so a pact show and stay with me. The release of these questions, um was a very aggressive act, and it's most likely someone who doesn't want the interview to occur. You don't poison a well that you intend to drink from, And that's what this was an effort to do, to show that the questions were broad to possibly justify a refusal by the president to sit down

with Mueller. Otherwise, most of the questions, I'd say, we're highly predictable. If you were to sit down and write out the questions about three months after Mueller was appointed, most of these questions would be those questions. Yeah, the questions weren't really all that surprising. It's just the scope above them, right, how many there were and what they covered that I think gave a lot of folks a bit of a shock. Andy McCarthy has written a great

piece here in National Review. I want to give you some of the highlights from it. Uh. First of all, he, like me, has been opposed to this whole special counsel all along. It's really an extension of a counterintelligence probe, which is not a criminal probe, at least predominantly not a criminal probe. And there has been no specific crime identified for this. And now this has just turned into lawfare against the President United States. That's what this is.

Andy writes, that was all Buck speaking. Now I'm gonna take you to some of what and he writes here, Uh, I'm assuming the authenticity of the question questions that Special

Counsel Robert Mueller reportedly wants to ask President Trump. The questions indicate that, after a year of his own investigation and two years of FBI investigation, the prosecutor lacks evidence of a crime, yet he seeks to probe the chief exactecutives, motives, and thought processes regarding exercises of presidential power that were lawful, regardless of one's view of their wisdom. If Bob Muhler wants that kind of control over the executive branch, he

should run for president. Otherwise, he is an inferior executive official who has been given a limited license, ultimately by the chief executive to investigate crime. If he doesn't have an obvious crime, he has no business inventing one, much less probing his superior's judgment. He should stand down, end quote. And his PC here really is a tour to force. He just rips this whole thing apart, as he should.

And I I obviously agree with him on this, but it is a travesty what is being allowed to occur here. Think about all the damage this is doing to you, my friends listening to this right now. Uh, this is not helpful to the economy. This is not helpful to your four oh one k to your savings of the strength of the dollar, to policies that affect policies from

from trade agreements to immigration and national security. We have a presidency that's spending a lot, maybe even most of its energy dealing with the sore loser, underhanded gutter tactics of the Democrats using this Special Council probe to try and nullify the Trump presidency and This is why I'm saying it's it's more than just hunker down and wait for it to end. Trump going on offense. Totally agree. But he should take action too. He needs the best lawyers.

I mean, this is where he needs to He needs to unleash the dogs of war, so to speak. I mean he needs to be ready to throw down. And I think Trump is. I think he's gotten a little bit of a wake up call in the last few days on this. We've got more uh, stay right there. He's holding the line for America. Buck sex in his back lines. Let teams, do you want to chat? Eight four, eight to five, Tom in Boston? What is that? My friend? But great show? Listen, thank you telling this deep state

is real. We've got to get rid of this deep state. I'm telling you. They've been selecting our president for years. I don't know how Royal rigg again and that was a look. I think they selected Obama. Nobody ever heard of Obama. This this president we have now, President Trump. He's gonna go down as the greatest president we've ever had if they give him a chance. But the deep state doesn't want to give him a chance. They're trying

to get rid of them. They got him boxed in right now with this whole investigation and Muller and all this stuff. I mean, this is crazy. They they're talking about. They're talking about putting dozens of questions to the President United States, for which there is still basically zero evidence of any kind to suggest the President was evolved in anything at all. You know, where does this end? Does the Special Counsel got to just keep asking questions for

the next five years? Can you just keep going forever and ever? I mean, at some point there has to be good judgment used by the prosecutors involved in this, and all we've seen from them up to this point is that they're being tools of the deep state, willingly or not. Exactly. They have to charge him with something. I think think investing gave him charges. There's no charges got of it. I hope so too. But because I think there's gonna be some great things for the country. Tom,

thank you for calling in. Look, it's not it's not a sure thing that the Trump presidency is gonna work out, work out great, folks. I know that there's a near I have to remind myself of this sometimes there there's this near miraculous quality to Trump's whole rise at this point. I'm not saying that trumphis you know, is not that he's performing miracles. I don't worry. I don't think Trump is walking on water and you know, his his hair swoop is like a golden halo from the heavens or something.

I'm just saying that it's been so surreal what he has been able to withstand up to this point. I think it's easy to start to think, well, Trump can handle anything. This guy has been He's been litigating with people his whole life. You know, he understands this game. He knows what he's doing. Problem with federal prosecutors is you you mess up once and you're done. It's not lived to fight another day. It's not you know, I'm gonna write a big check or I'm gonna you know,

bankrupt that that company or scrap that deal. You know, if if you are facing federal criminal charges, if you're gonna be a convicted felon, I mean, it's never the same after that. It only has to happen once. And this is where discipline matters so much, I think for Trump in terms of messaging and in terms of his defense against all this, and I also think you should be doing a lot offense to Dean also up in Boston. Hello,

my friend, what's up the buck? So this is what scares me to my roots in my house and my family and my neighbors and my cousins and everything. The people who are running a muck with un endless power, millions of done, no no actual budget, hundreds and hundreds of lawyers. Is these people are not elected. We have no say in these people. So they take off and

they run wild. Then they have a cheering section of people that were elected that actually get to make laws that you and I have to follow or we pay a fine, lose rights or go to jail. But they don't. You just saw But did you see this, Sam? I mean a Dean. I meant to get to this earlier. The FBI guy who lead classified to the media and and lied about it, and you know so I think he was up from Minnesota, former FBI agent, no criminal charges.

What would happen if you and I did it? Prison? Prison, and people will be going on TV saying that we got we we got what we deserved. That's what they'd be saying. It's crazy and what just bothers me is that I have the only recourse I have because I'm up in the People's Republic of Massachusetts, so I have the almighty right of the Messiah that you're really constitution more than anything, Elizabeth Warren and Ed Markey and the others,

that you're really at swamp at swamp Site North. I think we could call it am I'm surprised on the phone with you. I don't have small arms fire in the background. I mean, it's it's crazy. Everybody, every Democrat, Republican, Independent, if you've never voted before, this should scare the hell out of you. If they can do it to the President and anybody else, they can do it to you. Yeah. Well, I think that this is where and thank you Jane

for calling in. This is where the press is so complicit in in the the dishonesty that the Democrat party. You know, it's really interesting. I always think about this. I go back and forth on it. Do the Democrat does the Democrat political apparatus take its orders from the media, or does the media take its orders from the I could make a case either way. You know who who really has you know who has more power when push comes to shove Zucker or Pelosi. You know, uh, Anderson

Cooper or Chuck Schumer. I mean, you know, you start to look at this. I don't know, it's a it's a tough call. Actually, you know who is a who is more important to the left? You know, Rachel Maddow or Debbie Wasserman schul Uh. The answer to that is Rachel Maddow. Actually, I don't think Debbie. I don't think Debbie's got quite the same wasta as they would say in the Mid East, as as she used to not not not quite the same cloud. Um. I love this.

A lot of lines lit everybody, thank you gets me fired up when the team is is lightening up earlier. A lot of times, I know you guys wait till later on, because that's what I tend to take more calls. But you know, sometimes the first hour, I'm like, you know what I want to hear from the squad? Sam and Charlotte? What's up? Bug Buck? How's it going, Buday? You're a fan from Charlotte, North Carolina. Sam, let me

let me ask you a couple of questions. Okay, so, so mother's got a nothing burger after a year, and how many months of the year in six months going on a year and a half now of just nothing, nothing burgers with cheese raw in the middle. Yeah. And so now he's gonna try to catch Trump in some type of inconsistency and in his question in a Q and A, is there anything, but please tell me there's

something the American people can do. We thought if we went to the polls that we actually could do something. But we have Republicans up there that I guarantee you that they want Trump to crash and burn burn because

he wants to drain the swamp. Oh. I think there are a lot of Republicans that are are trying to do as much as they can to stay out of there, like the guys that show up to the battle, but they stay on the outskirts of it because they don't want to actually get into where the where the actual dirty, nasty fighting is going on. So they're technically on Trump's team, But not that many are willing to roll up the sleeves and and throw some throw some left hooks, you know,

not that many or are getting in there. And I know plenty of them that look like they're kind of looking for the exits already. Which is you know that they'd rather instead of being in this political fight in in the second part of Trump's first term, they want to go get a cushy job at a think tank somewhere, probably down the street from Ryan right now. Yeah, so they got they got weeks summons. But but listen, I

wonder I wonder how many Democrats. I want absolutely nothing to happen to this country, but I wonder how many Democrats would suffer gravely if this thing with Trump plays out an impeachment and maybe even a conviction. And if they don't understand that. I think they do not understand the momentum that's there, and they're trying to distract it. So anyway, hey man, we appreciate everything that you do and keep it rolling. Thank you, Thank you, sir Sam.

Great to talk to you, my French shields high Brent in New Mexico. We're covering much of the country here. What's up, Brent, hey buck shi'll tie man Sili, Well, I've been hearing, I hear about the deep state and everything, and I get you, but I feel like he's fighting with one arm tied behind his back because if you'll notice,

he's the executive of the executive branch. He's not able to executive execute on DOCCA, He's not able to execute on immigrations through travel then and now he's fighting this as well. He's not able to do any of his authorities delegated to them by the Constitution. Man, they've got him seriously homestring hamstring into this, and I bet you'll see court cases coming against him. But he makes it

deal with North Korea. What do you think, Oh, there's there's no question that the never Trump or the uh, the Yeah, I guess you call them never Trump judiciary is doing everything they can to stop the president, including issuing what are clearly fatuous, garbage decisions. But you have to go through the process, right, I mean, they're the Supreme Court is going to rule that Trump was right

on the travel band. Think of how many people you've heard say, oh, my gosh, she's destroying the constitution and wrong. He's actually completely within his rights to do what he did as commander in chief. But they don't like him. They don't like his policies, and so they are willing to destroy the very institutions and checks and balances and separations of power and constitutional rights and prerogatives that are

necessary for the sound functioning of this government. They're willing to destroy all of that as long as it takes down this president. It's it's truly remarkable. I mean, you do have to start wondering can Trump do anything without some official Now you got Mueller who wants to second

guess him on firing Comy. He has an absolute right, as the commander in chief and as the senior most executive of the United States Government under Article two of the Constitution, to fire Comy because he didn't like what Comey said that morning at breakfast. Whatever it is. He can fire him because he doesn't like his socks. It's his right to fire him for whatever reason he sees fit. That Mueller is gonna try to get to Well, it was for corrupt reasons, you know, Mueller. Get real. It's

complete and utter crap. But here we are, man, they're dragging the present through all this. Look, but look what they've got to offer in respond. What are they gonna say, Oh, you know, fascism didn't come to America. Oh. The stock markets actually holding pretty strong despite everything else, although I do think it's gonna have a big correction in a little while uh, you know, the economy is doing really well.

Hiring is really good. By the way, the the latest from the tax cut is that a lot of it is capital capital investment and non in fact stock buybacks, which means the companies are expanding and hiring. It is working more so than anticipated the way that Trump and the proponents of that tax cut warranted to. So you got all these these things happen that matter, that are important, and they just want to talk about Stormy Daniels and Robert Muller. That's it. That's the only thing that matters

to this country. These people, they have lost their minds, and they're really at your point about or the point that some of you are making about how it's gonna hurt them too. What do they think it's gonna do to the country. How do they think hiring in the stock market and our national security and our sense of of comedy as a relate as a nation. How do we think that that's all gonna hold up when Trump

goes through all this? Yes, sir, here a man brand, go ahead, Well, why are you with my liberal friends? Obama was optioned. I don't have a problem with Obama personally. I don't like his policy, but I kept telling them over and over, you're not gonna like the president he says with his executive borders. You're not gonna like that when a Republicans in office. And I thought i'd be right on that, but turns out I'm wrong because they really have done it. And yeah, man Shield sigh, Brent,

thank you for calling in from New Mexico. Uh, team, I want to talk to you about this. This study that's that's troubling, especially because I feel like right now I'm I'm closer closer to this than well some of your probably in the DC area. But a report, a poll out that says that almost half of Americans believe that there should be government guaranteed jobs for all. This is nuts and I will talk to you about what

it means, but you gotta stay with me. San Francisco's Nancy Pelosi has told the Boston Globe that she will run for Speaker of the House if the Democrats win a majority of seats in the mid term election. Pelosi, of course, the very first woman speaker in history. This may not be good news for Democrats. Republicans use Pelosi as a cudgel in their ads to convince people not to vote for Democrats, and they're not wrong. We might like Nancy Pelosi in the Bay Area, but America doesn't.

Things that are more popular than Nancy Pelosi, according to an NBC Wall Street Journal poll, include the n r A, current speaker, Paul Ryan, even Donald Trump among all Americans. Donald Trump is he's big, so mean. She's a massi Messi's a master letgis la there Pelosi. Ah, it's great if she runs, it's great, it will be or not if you run, you know what I mean. If if we can make make it more about Pelosi, the better. Um,

more about Pelosi, the better. Uh. So, I also want to tell you about this this pole, it's just a quick thing, was from ras mussin favor government guaranteed jobs for all. Uh. You know, this is the problem him. It's the problem with why we still have people who want to rehabilitate the history and and image of socialism even in this country, why the left embrace his redistribution. It's really tough to fight with free stuff, because first you have to convince people that there's no such thing

as free stuff. And there's just a part of our brain that wants to think that that's not the case. That you know that that you can get things for free, that there's no cost associated with it, and having the government guaranteed jobs. I mean Bernie Sanders, that's right, baby, he's back, Bernie. I really that would be amazing. They should just go for They should rally behind the burn. Get Bernie Sanders and U Kamala Harris and that's the team. She should be the VEEP, and you know, at least

they'll be an interesting election. Hopefully they don't put some I don't know, some boring bozo up there instead. At least with Bernie would have something to watch, something to be interested in. Be also interesting to see how many people left to talk about how Donald Trump doesn't know this or that policy. Try to square Bernie's numbers when it comes to the economy. You know, Bernie, how are you gonna how are you gonna pay for free college

for everybody? Money from the stuff, from the things, you know, from the places, there's gonna be plenty of it. Boot, don't be don't be stingy. But Cassanders says that the federal government should have a program that guarantees all Americans a job with health insurance, and almost half the country now likes the idea is one thing wants the government take action on. This might be a slightly, it might be a different number. I would hope that it's a

different number. Um. But we have to remember this, there is a very strong contingent still in this country that believes that greater government action despite everything that they see, despite the fact that you know, we just had tax season and we left to go to the d m V and we're all even now seeing kind of the unfortunate dirty kitchen of the deep state in the FBI

and intelligence apparatus and elsewhere. Despite all that we see for government failure, it's still nice to think there's a comfort that people derive from the belief that the government can make their problems go away. The government's your friend. It wants to make you safe and warm at night. It wants to be your buddy. Just not true. I used to work for the government. It does some good things, it does a lot of things very poorly, and it tries to do a lot of things that it shouldn't

be doing at all. You imagine what I go, what would that program even look like? We're just gonna pay more and more bureaucrats, more and more people to be on a self paced work schedule where the process. You know, I always say the process is the punishment. I've got a correlatory to that when it comes to government employment. For the most part, for the bureaucracy, ease processes the product. It's true, show up, do some stuff, go to some meetings.

Are you changing anything? No, but paychecks there's just the same. But we do not want you do not want the government guaranteeing you a job that that much, I can assure you. We gotta talk about Kanye coming up. I'm in the process of helping to launch a really exciting media venture down here in DC team and we have

all these jobs that we're trying to fill it. You know what our number one tool is, you know how we're getting all of the best resumes and in fact now getting and hiring the best candidates Zip recruiter dot com. That's right, I'm a zip recruiter user. I am using all of the different algorithms that they have in place and the interface to get the best possible candidates lined up in the queue. And now we're even interviewing and hiring using zip recruiter. It has been phenomenal. We've been

getting top quality candidates. And that's no surprise because eighty percent of employers who post on zip recruiter at a quality candidate. And just one day, just like we did here with my new project, go to zip recruiter dot com slash buck try it out for free. That's zip recruiter dot com, slash buck. One more time, zip recruiter dot com, slash buck. Zip recruiter the smartest way to hide mission, decoding the news and disseminating information with actionable intelligence.

Make no mistake American great. You're a great American again. This is the Buck Sexton Show, former CIA analysts. No people say feel free, but they don't really want us to feel free. I felt a freedom, and first of all, just doing something that everybody tells you not to do. For me to wear that hat means I wanna make America great in my own way. They're attacking me with these smoke screens that I'm not gonna fall forth. The

mob tries to tell you what to think. The mob tries to make all blacks be Democrats for food staffs, and so it's the mob. By the way, you're just talking to the emotion. When you hear about slavery for four hundred years, for four hundred years, that sounds like a choice. He was there for four hundred years. It is all of y'all. It's like we're mentally imprisoned. Kanye getting a lot of attention, still set all kinds of stuff. Some of it I think a lot of conservatives standing

around saying yeah, wow, very astute. Others require a bit more m a bit more of a of an explanation, perhaps, I don't know. Let's let's start with some of the earlier the earlier Kanye Kanye Kanye is uh earlier works. Uh. I can't say that I've ever really been a big fan of Kanye's music, and I do listen to some hip hop. I just it's not really the first thing that I ever heard him do. I think actually was uh to the wire. I think it was called about

when he survived a car accident. But look, he's obviously a prolific, prolific hip hop artist and more of a cultural icon now that even just somebody who's in one genre of music. But he's saying things that are upsetting to two democrats, to be sure, and he's continued on with it. At first, it seemed like, well, maybe this is just people say it's a publicity stunt. By the way, isn't that kind of condescending though, he's just doing this

for publicity? Why is it that we hear from so many I take a very realistic point of view on this. I've been telling you from the beginning. Don't uh, don't give don't don't don't give your heart too. That sounds a little too intense. But don't place any bets on Kanye's conversion to conservatism just yet, because a lot of these celebrities there is an impulse and unconservative to any time somebody who's a big celebrity says something even a

little bit conservative. I think some years ago, where's the guy from the ranch? You know that he was married to me? More? Did he did the like the like gotcha show? Thank you? Ashton Kutcher some years ago he was like, you know, what's attractive being kind? Everyone's like, see he's really a conservative? Like no, I mean I don't know. Or some actor will say, you know, hard work is really important. Oh my gosh, he's a conservative. Well, well that's an important sentiment. I'm not sure we could

call that person an ideological political conservative. Not quite um with Kanye, it seems like he's just being more of a of a free thinker and challenging some of the very entrenched orthodoxes that are out there. But I do like to put this into into a context as well. Kanye says this stuff, and you'll hear people say, oh,

you always it's a it's a stunt. Some TMZ writer was saying, he's off his meds, and you know, there's just this immediate widespread effort among the Democrat left media to not just you know, they never say like, yeah, like let him have his say you know whatever, it's fine. Oh he's he's just doing it for attention. What about all these other actors that get up there and say dumb things all the time, We're supposed to listen to them.

I hear people say things like, oh, you know, George Clooney should run for president based on what because he looks like a guy who might be cast as the President's not exactly a great exactly a great resume in and of itself. I mean, if that were the case, mid Romney would be president. Have you ever seen a guy like, Let's be honest, folks, have you ever seen a guy who looks more like he could be cast as the president in a in a movie with Harrison Ford?

For example? Sorry, Mr President, I don't dance drack the old patoa Potomac two step. You're gonna keep this one in your back pocket. Remember that great scene in Clear and Present Danger. Uh. So you know, it's it's interesting to see what what the reaction is to Kanye as much as anything else. So like, I I take two points from this one. Don't fall in love with the first celebrities comments that seem like they might be a little bit on our side of the fence, because you're

gonna get burned. And and also that's just not how we do things. And then too, notice how they just dismissed this guy, this uh, this African American icon not to you know, not even just in the in the music realm, but in pop culture in general. And he's not really allowed to have these he's not really allowed to have these views. They dismissed them. There're somehow not authentic, they're not really him. Ah. I I've I've heard some try to explain the the comment that he made that

slavery was a choice. I'm not Kanye. I don't really know what he was saying. So I'm gonna I'm gonna leave that just because I don't really get. I don't really get what he was going forward with that. I mean, clearly, slavery was a system premised upon treating human beings as property and extreme violence and so not. I'm not, I don't. I'm just saying I don't get, you know, I don't. I'm not a great Kanye translator. I can't pretend to

know what's going on with that. But he said some other things that certainly upset the Democrat left because you're not really supposed to say these things. If you are a prominent, wealthy and revered at least in a lot of circles Black American, you're not supposed to say some of these things. And that's what's getting Kanye so much attention right now. Play as sixteen, This reality has been forced upon us. It is a choice. Just like when I said, slavery is a choice. We can make our

own reality. We can talk about history, but not too long. We need to talk about our now, because we can fix and start loving each other. Now I say, we have no enemies. We don't have enemies. Black people have a tendency to focus and march when a white person kills a black person or wears a hat, But when it's seven hundred kids being killed in Chicago, it's okay, it's okay for blacks to kill blacks. The discrepancy I'm gonna deal with the the end of the kind. Look,

these are Kanye rents. There's a lot of stuff that he's packing into them. But the discrepancy that he talks about at the end about how when you have a white police officer that kills a black man, usually it's an unarmed black man. When when it turns into a national story, there is it's treated very very differently then. Um, when all these other all the other homicides that occur across the country and you're talking about a media focus.

I mean, this was one of in the pre Trump era, one of the most dishonest things the media was engaged in. This is, while Obama was president, was making it seem as though cops were killing unarmed black men in large numbers in this country without cause, basically because of systemic racism. You know, this was definitely the case that see I was at CNN when they were doing this, it was it was an embarrassment. They let me debate Van Jones on this issue once and then never again because I won.

But they would claim on a you know that they would they would run all these stories about how this was happening, and look at Ferguson and this story and that story. And then if you actually look at the numbers, something like if you if you took all of the cases that was clear, clear use of force, completely acceptable for law enforcement to use force based on everything we know, if you took all those out of the equation, how many times in a given year is a is an

unarmed black man killed by police in questionable circumstances. That doesn't mean wrong, It just means where there's at least a possibility. It was like fifty or sixty country of three and twenty million people, fifty or sixty. Now, every life is precious, every person deserves their civil rights, their due process. I'm not dismissing, and I'm just saying, if you're looking at a problem that's a national plague that

seems to be really uh exaggerated as a problem. It has been really exaggerated the media for a long time, uh, in terms of how commonly it occurs. And then you also see why is it that there's so much less of a focus UM. I mean a great example, just look at the media MSNBC, CNN and the other the other big networks. They weren't particularly concerned with the spikes and homicide in Baltimore or Chicago, for example, around the same period they were covering these stories about police violence

against the armed black man. Why is that? Why is it wrong for us even to question that? You know, you start to ask this stuff where you you begin to engage in a discussion, and there are people who immediately want to push you into a corner and try to paint you as a racist, try to paint you as unfeeling, as not caring about the plight of underprivileged minorities in the inner cities of this country. You know that they don't want to have a discussion about it.

But when Kanye wants to talk about it, maybe it'll get some attention outside of traditional conservative circles. Maybe there can be a shift in this UM. Then he Kanye was on TMZ, he got really animated about this UM you're gonna have to hear this for yourself. Play a teen. But I've never been into politics. I just love Trump. That's my boy. Obama was our opioids and made us

feel like everything was good. Trump is a human being also, and he's doing a lot of things to actually help business owners be able to go pass all these shake laws and rules. Einstein says, the definitive insanity is doing the same thing expecting a different result. I believe that Kim John didn't believe that Obama was crazy enough to come at him. Sometimes you need some crazy to change something. Steve Jobs is crazy. Now we're all on Steve Jobs phones.

They say Trump's crazy, they say I'm crazy. You know, can I just tell you if you go back, if you roll tape. I know I said it on Kennedy's show on Fox. Kennedy is great. I'm pretty sure I said it on the radio on my show this show too early on, like you know, month one or month to the Trump presidency, said you know, when looking at his foreign policy, I said, you know, you want Doc Holiday to be the guy with the Street Howitzer, the shotgun.

You want someone sometimes to be the one who you know you want a guy that's a little unpredictable, who can actually be the one that to bring consequences to bear, because otherwise everyone thinks that, for example, the credible use of force is just it's just claptrap, it's just talk, has no meaning. And with Trump and North Korea, I've

been saying this all along too, with his tweets. And when you have an entire you have an entire regime in North Korea built upon the perception of the unassailable, untouchable,

unbeatable leader. For another world leader to finally say no, that guy is a punk that starts to change the tone of the discussion, doesn't it, because because Kim drawing can turn on his people in the past and say, yeah, the world international community, they hey to us, and they're they're the reason that we have all these problems, but they can't really mess with us. Look at them. They always end up giving us food. They always end up

giving us stuff because they can't beat us. So I think Kanye's point about Trump being a little bit uh a little crazy to borrow his word is really meaningful. I've been to so many and I worked at a number of as a research intron. Really so I'm not gonna pretend like it was some high level thing. But I've worked at a number of think tanks, which I'm thinking about now because I'm here on K Street and d C. And it's not Yeah, they're right, they're right

on the street, they're on the block. A lot of these think tanks, and then some of them do great work in research, but there's a lot of them. Wow, Wow, latch jo, there's latch fix. There's problem. There's why Rob Rob Rob. It's all the same stuff. You're in and year out. You know, how do we fix this problem? All more multilateral cooperation? How do we fix this? Oh? More cooperation is like the favorite word of anything tank. Oh, we're gonna find more cooperate ration with our allies. How

do we defeat geehad is um? Oh? More? You know, you get it right. It's always there's a lot of the same repetition of the same thing over and over again. If you have a disruptive president, you want him to be disruptive. You want him to to to be as he is on the world stage as well as on domestic policy. And I think that's what you're getting. So there are some insights and what Kanye is saying here, I'm not saying all of it is. This is He's not the second coming of Ciero. I mean, I wonder

if he could work Cisero into a route. I bet he could. Actually Cistero would be kind of a cool reference to get into a rap song. Ah eight four four to five. Team got some more on this and then, uh, I'm trying to think I'm gonna get in get to Afghanistan today in the situation there, I might hold that for another day, a bit of a deep dive on national security, but I have um, I have much more planned with your team, So stay right there and we'll be back. If you don't know about them already, I

really want you to hear about nine Line Apparel. Look. Nine Line is a veteran owned and operated patriotic lifestyle brand, but they're also really big into giving back, so they have a partnership with NASCAR driver Jeffrey Earnhardt to give back to children of our nation's fallen and until May nine, if you go to nine line Apparel dot com, you can get nine Lines Remember the Fallen Memorial Day shirt.

I knew Facebook was just gonna start doing stuff like this, but sure, sure enough, here it is. Facebook is now ranking news organizations based on trustworthiness. This is according to BuzzFeed. And here's what Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg had to say about

this quote. We put that data into the system and it is acting as a boost or a suppression, and we're going to dial up the intensity of that over time. This was at the Rosewood sand Hill Hotel with media executives in the audience. We feel like we have a responsibility to further break down polarization and find common ground. So that's a part of this. But let's understand that Facebook is now going to be taking in active hand in pushing up we're pushing down news sources. Oh gee,

I wonder if that's going to be abused. Now. You may be thinking, Buck, I don't get my news from Facebook. That's fine, although a lot of you, I'm sure, without even realizing that, you end up clicking on links. You see things that people post, right, but it may not be your Hopefully your main source of daily news information

is the Buck Sexton Show. But when you look at what's going to be happening in the years ahead, more and more people are getting their news via social That is, in fact now a primary method for people to get their news and information. And that means that these mega platforms having control over the content in a subjective sense too. Remember, they're gonna be adjusting the algorithms however they want. You

don't get to see that, you don't know. This is why I've been saying all along there were some of these media organizations. I can tell you they're buying traffic. They're not nearly as popular as they pretend to be, particularly in the digital world, and they've been playing games with us all along. Their gaming what they call s c O search engine optimization. They they pay to get better. I know people say, well Google won't do this, but that they pay to get better results on search. They

pay to get Facebook traffic. You know, remember this is not this is not a utility. It's a business and people with political opinions are running this business. So this is something we we've got to keep a close eye on um and I think that it's only going to become more apparent as as time goes on that these are not just things that exist to allow people to connect. That's a that's a cute little storyline as to what Facebook and these other groups do, but it's not really

what ends up happening. They are the They are the new mainstream media. They really are. The digital mainstream media is gonna be much much more powerful. And this is where you know, we we need a conservative or at least a neutral platform for us to share information, news and ideas. We really do, because this is gonna get

worse and worse with time. And uh, you know everyone thinks that Facebook, no one can come up with an alternative or yeah, tell that to tell that to uh my space and friends stur What does Facebook have that they don't Well, hundreds of billions of dollars, I guess at this point. But Hillary, Hell, Wow, she's back. She's got some insights to offer you on uh why maybe yet again the newest I haven't the newest reason why she didn't win the election. You have not heard this

one yet. It's amazing and that it just comes after May Day International Social Workers Day is fitting. Stay with me for he's back with you now, because when it comes to the fight for truth, the fuck never stops. So I saw earlier today that Candice Owen of Red Pill Black was reportedly gonna go well, according to Alex Jones, that's right, Sexton, your hair is fake. You wanted to see I you're the worst. Uh that Kennis Owens was

was gonna go on in force Alex Jones. I have since seen that she is not going to do that. But I saw that it was initially reported or said wasn't reported my Jones by Alex Jones, that Candice and Kanye were going to come on a show, and I had to think to myself, why why would anyone do that? That's not I don't think that's a good idea. Of course not Sexton. The Bill Brugs have every gonna need on you. You're the worst. I've seen that. Look that smoke self satisfied. Look. Uh he has seen that. Look

I guess that I have. So they're not doing that, which was a good thing. But we're speaking about Kanye before, and I was like, that would that would not be Look, people can do whatever they want. I just don't think that would be advisable at this point. It would not be a good thing for Kanye to show up on Alex Jones's platform, but he can do as he sees fit. Yeah, that's fine. Jones is a a character, as my grandma

would have said, He's a character. Literally. Um now, I wanted to give you some insight courtesy of you know who I missed you. Hello. Uh. She was at some kind of I don't even know what this was. Where where was she? Again? She's at some kind of uh sit down and talk of some kind, but she's she's talking about things and that's really specific book. You know, are you just talking about something some stuff out there? And uh, she was asked a question about or or.

The discussion went to whether being a capitalist. What that meant for her? We have the audio for you. Please. Oh this was at the Remaining or No Reimagining Social Change Forum. I have no idea what that is, but please play the audio. Residential candidates since World War Two that actually had to stand up and say I am a capitalist? Uh? And you did? Uh? Did it hurt you? Probably? I mean, you know, it's it's hard. It's hard to know.

But I mean if you're in the Iowa Caucuses and Democrats are socialists or self described socialists, and I'm asked, are you a capitalist? And I say yes, but with appropriate regulation and appropriate accountability, Uh, you know that that probably gets lost. And though, oh my gosh, she's a up the least, oh my gosh, look at look at Hillary letting loose up there a little bit. Can we all take a moment, though, to realize that what she said it's kind of a big deal. I know it's

not news to you, it's not news to me. But for the presumed next president of the United States and the Democrats nominee for the President United States to come out and say that she basically lost votes because she's a capitalist, because so many Democrats in this country are actually socialists. That strikes me as important, That strikes me as something we should we should uh dig into a

little more worthy of some more of our time. Because I remember when I first got into the media business, I would say that somebody would, oh, you know, you throw around the term socialists anytime anyone talked about socialism in the context of Barack Obama, for example, even though he was very fond of speaking about fair share for shure, uh, he didn't talk about socialism, but he talked about your

fair share. People would say that to say that Obama even had any socialist tendencies was racist, just because if you wanted to shut down any criticism of Obama, just say it's racist. Right that that was an easy, an easy game the left played with with great effect for most of the Obama presidency, really all of the Obama presidency. But I know that a law of Democrats get very They get very crotchety, very per snickty when you say things like you know, what's the difference really between a

between you guys and the socialist parties in Europe? You know what the answer is. The socialist parties in Europe are in some cases more willing to actually advocate for the level of taxation needed to support the welfare state that they want. That's a big difference. Democrats don't want high taxes on everyone. They just want high taxes on high earners, not the wealthy high earners. You go to country like Sweden, everyone's paying high taxes. Everybody's paying really

high taxes. And actually, in some ways, and this is where it gets really mind boggling, countries like Denmark have more free market attributes in place than even we do here. In some ways, they're actually friendlier towards the free market than we are. They just have a really they're not really socialist countries. They're just countries with high taxation and a big welfare state. But there are socialist parties in Europe. And you look at their platform as you say, how

is it different from Democrats, it's not. It's not significantly different. Different from what Democrats are advocating. They want higher taxes, more government programs, greater confiscation of wealth, and then the redistribution of wealth. I just think that this is noteworthy. You know that Bernie Sanders was a Democrats socialist in the last election and did as well as he did really should have won the Democrat primary, as we know

it was, the deck was stacked against him. They burned the burn you know, they left him out in the They left him out in the cold, high and dry. Yeah, if it if it had been a free and fair election, I do think that Bernie probably would have would have eaten Hillary. But that means that a Democrat socialist openly and itself described, would have been the Democrats nominee. And so you start to start to force yourself right to confront this, why are we not allowed to say that

Democrats are socialists? What really separates them then from socialists? And I think you see some there's a whole conversation the country really needs to have. Remember we had that there was a Communist Party USA. It actually was pretty robust for a while. In the twentieth century, there have been labor movements, we just had made a socialist workers

movements in this country. The Democrat Party just token really merged with the American socialist lines of thought, the American socialist movements that came to be in the early twentieth century, and you know, the decades leading up into the Cold War, all of a sudden just became more mainstream Democrats stuff. That's all that happened. They merge the socialist this country didn't disappear. They e merged with the Democrat Party. And now what you're saying is that they are the Democrat Party.

So you know, Hillary is being very blase about it because what does she care anymore? Right? But I think that this, uh, this deserves a bit more attention. That there are the most prominent people in the Democrat Party who were talking about how they are losing votes or that she lost votes because there's so many socialists in the Democrat Party. They don't like that term though, because it it's too honest. Right, what are Democrats stand for?

Whatever they say they stand for? Right, what what's what's the primary ideology the Democrat Party? It was liberalism, it's progressivism. How separate is it really from democratic socialism as practiced in Europe? The answers almost indistinguishable. So, I mean, I can't run around quite yet and defend calling all the Democrats a bunch of comedies. But socialists, the case is getting The case is getting bigger, it's getting clearer, more obvious. Here, um,

I will roll into a quick break your team. I still want to talk to you about, um oh, we gotta talk about CNNs choices in its coverage, and then also the cheap owl that the young girl out in a Utah war, and I've got updates on that and

much more. Stay with me. If the American people didn't have the lowest opinion of the media now that they have all time, it would be it would be a shock to me because they should, quite honestly, now that we've seen just how completely united most of really all of the mainstream media is in their opposition to this administration.

It would be hard for anybody not to feel like the fixes in and No Network, I think really characterizes the dishonesty of big j journalism in the era of Trump more than CNN that they you know, I watched it in the sense that I have it on monitors in the Freedom Hut, and and I keep cabs on some of their different shows, and I see clips of it. But I'm aware of what they're putting on air on

a regular basis, and it's just madness. You know, there will You'll turn on Fox News and there'll be some big break in the negotiations with North Korea, an intractable nuclear intractable problem, a nuclear rogue state, you know that that could affect the lives of millions of people, and Trump is making headway there. That is completely blown a A what all the critics were saying was possible before

even to this point. And then I'll turn on CNN and they'll they'll they'll have a photo of Stormy Daniels, and they've been putting Stormy Daniels up there as though she were getting her own show. And now I see this from from NewsBusters as well, that CNN has put the lawyer for the porn star, uh Stephanie whatever her name is, Stormy Daniel, Stephanie whatever her real name is. But CNN has hosted the porn star, Michael Evans. I'm sorry, the porn star lawyer. He is not a porn star.

Excuse me? Whoa uh fifty nine times in less than two months. Okay, he is on CNN literally every day for the last two months, in fact, more than every day. Every day. This guy goes on there, you know, to talk about the the great the greatest minutia imaginable. In this case, they're putting him up and we all get to see and for what what do they really think

is going to come of this. Meanwhile, Trump's approval rating is so they are willing to completely sacrifice the pretense of objectivity, and I would tell you that they're willing to just make a a dumpster fire of their credibility at you know. And that's what they've been doing in order to get Trump, and they haven't even been able to to to break it down and and make Trump's base and and really the Republican Party turn on him.

We do not care. I mean, you know that that's there's a different by the way, between not caring and celebrating. We're not caring and and advocating for but we simply do not care about this allegation from a decade ago, you know. And if we're if we're going to start disqualifying people from public office for marital infidelity, it's gonna be a long it's gonna be a long list. And then we start to get into well, what are what are we really looking for in a leader? What do

we really want in a president? And I mean that in its in terms of how it affects all of us in our in our day to day lives, what it means for the country. I don't. I don't turn to the White House for a role model. I certainly didn't during the Obama years, and I didn't before that or before that, So this doesn't really change my thinking in any way. I think it's also because conservatives have always at least had Look, there's a tension here, and

I'll identify the tension. Conservatives believe in because we live in individual rights and responsibility, and we have a a built in ethics and morality that we are operating under as part of our political philosophy. Right, with liberals, it's just the mob. Whatever the mob wants, We want that, you know, that's what feels good, But the mob wants whatever the emotions of the moment dictate. That's what liberalism goes for. With conservatives, we operate within a moral framework.

I know this is the kind of stuff that if any liberals heard, they would freak out at me, but I don't care. Uh. Conservatives operate within a moral framework.

That doesn't even mean we're more and moral. It just means we have we will identify standards of conduct, right, we'll identify that, But we also know we live in the real world, and all of our ideals are also informed by experience and reality and history, and when you're looking at a president and what he can or can't do for you, I think the first thing conservatives want has to has to do with policies and the agenda. Um, And we don't become as emotionally entwined, or we shouldn't,

at least maybe some people have with this president. But we shouldn't become emotionally entwined with the individual. We should think of it as supporting the you know, the promises that they that they made and the overall trajectory of what the day in and day out message from the government is about government policy, right, same way say I'm I'm a I'm a Catholic. Right, so you you look at the Pope recently he said they should just outlaw all or they should just ban all weapons. Forget about

just banning guns. I mean, it's a nice idea, but it's preposterous, right, it doesn't That doesn't help anything or anyone. But I don't go to the pope for how to, you know, how to deal with weapons and policy and stopping violence in that way. With this Pope, I don't really go to them for anything. But in general I would go to the pope for when he's speaking ex cathedra on on matters of church faith and doctrine, and

that's you know, that is what counts. So I don't have this big problem separating out Trump the man before he even took office from Trump in office now and see an end. I just wonder what they're trying to accomplish other than antagonizing Trump supporters. But they're not really watching CNN or just In And this is what I think the primary motivation is. I mean, why would they put Stormy Daniels, as NewsBusters is saying, here, um, Stormy Daniel's lawyer on on TV fifty nine times. It's just

not that interesting. It's just not really that that good of a TV segment unless the entire purpose of this is two allow the delusional anti Trump left and the cry baby Democrat party to just continue to cling to this one, cling to the fiction Trump isn't really the president too, that any day now he won't be the president. And three they owe him not even a a modicum even a smidgeon of respect none, and it plays into

that mentality they have. Oh kay, let's put the porn star that Trump was with on TV, and you can't even make this stuff up because a lot of the journalists that are making such a big issue of this, we're the same ones who under Clinty far worse and proven stuff when it came to Maryland Fidelity and and all the rest of it. Uh, they were staunch defenders

of it. So we've already seen that. We don't forget it, and thanks to the Internet, we can even retrieve it and we can use it as as evidence, so to speak, in the court of public opinion. But yeah, I mean Cenna has really disgraced itself. I mean it needs a total overhaul. They need new leadership top to bottom. They need new people calling the shots over there, because it's

just turned into a clown show. I want to talk to you about the Boy Scouts coming up in the third hour, which maybe it shouldn't even really be called the boy Scouts anymore because of some recent policy changes that are going on, and uh, the boys and girl Scouts really and I think it's just a matter of time before it's the boys and girls and and also you know whatever else that they z and these made up genders that exist now, Uh, I want to talk to you about that.

Hey, welcome to our three of the bucks Xton Show. I think I've told you before that I had a short and undistinguished career

in the Cub Scouts, UM. So, I guess I never made it to boy Scout level. I think I was a Cub Scout right, I was first grade. So, but but I did it for a little bit in New York. It's it's kind of sad because it's like, oh, like, let's go, you know, build a tent and make a fire. And it's like, well, I can't really do that. That's not really happening. You know. We can we can go outside and uh choke on some mog, but we we cannot build the ten to make a fire. So it

wasn't really that easy to do in New York. I did it for a little while, but I know that there's a tremendous tradition, millions and millions of young people across the country, UM that have done this for stretching back for decades and it's change it right now. This

is the piece on CNN today. Goodbye Boy Scouts, Hello Scouts b s A. Less than a year after the Boy Scouts of America decided to invite girls to join, the organization announced that it will refer to its older youth program as Scouts b s A starting in February. The name change comes amid a new campaign slogan, Scout me In, that was made to emphasize the group's expansion from just boys to boys and girls. The name change only applies to the program I'm currently called boy Scouts.

The Cub Scouts program will not undergo a name change. Ah, Why why do we have to Why do we have to make the Cub Scouts program, or rather the Boy Scouts program co ed? Is it really that offensive to our our modern sensibilities now to have any kind of separation of the sexes. I just don't under I don't really when I say I don't understand, that's not the right way. I lose patience with this kind of thinking

because I don't see a good reason for this. I think back, I'm a product of maybe for better or for worse, but I'm a product of many, many years of single sex education, ten years in uh primary school, and then four years of high school, and I know that, you know, at least there were some periods there where it was really it was really nice to be able to focus on other things than what the girls in the class thought of me. Now, I'm not trying to make this about co ed education. I'm just trying to

bring my own experience to this. I mean, I remember in high school being a kid who wore see I I always found I figured out the school was always kind of cold because in this old building, and we had a strict dress code and a really mean dean who like to go around and give people detention thirty forty minutes of staring at a wall if you were found in any way, you know, kind of outside of the um. Did the uniform expectations and uh it had to be like khaki pants and a dress shirt anyway.

Uh that stuff. Though, I could get around because I would just wear a fleece and they couldn't make me take the fleece off. So I would go to school a lot of time wearing it like a T shirt, you know, like a you know, basketball T shirt or something, and a fleece over it, which was very comfortable. But you know, you go through all this stuff in high schoolhere you go through an awkward phase and you know, you know, I, oh, gosh, I had. I had struggled with bad skin on and off for years, which was

always really hard. Um. And you know, it's just something that as I, as I continue to look at all of the different reasons that there are these, you know, organizations that are separated by male and female, especially for young people, I just think that there's a good reason for it, there's a space for it. And yet here we are, you know, now it's gotta be boy Scouts and girl Scouts together. It does feel like there's a

radical equality program that is is pushing much of this thinking. Um. And and then they're going after people younger and younger with all this stuff too. I also saw this was from a feminist author named Jessica Valenti. She put this out on on Twitter. She wrote, to the folks who find lgbt Q language, I mean, just the acronym is confusing, but to find that language confusing, if my daughter's second grade class can get it, so can you. And then she posted this hole like a big bulletin Board of

lgbt q UH Terminology. And I gotta tell you something, Okay, I was at a young age, I had a very big vocabulary for my age, and always did really, really well on all the standardized tests, particularly having to do with either reading or vocabulary. That was just my skill set, that was my area. Although at first I had a speech impediment. Everyone thought I was dumb and I was going to fail out of school. And you know, thankfully I had parents who believed in me, and I ended

up proving all the haters wrong. But I can tell you this, in the second grade, I did not know what cis gender was, and that was probably a good thing. I didn't even know what cis gender was until a few years ago, because I'm pretty sure it's a made up word that they just came up with, or if it's not made up recently, it's not something anybody was using. But these are second graders, so it's basically the same

age as the cub Scouts. You know. I'm just I'm tying these things together because I see there is a there's a pretty radical agenda here of of not just eliminating the differences between the sexes male and female, but also then on top of it, teaching that there's all these distinctions among the two genders that don't really exist, right, so male female should not be separate, but by transgender, cis gender, queer and straight are all separate things. Huh.

And this is all from the second grade, allegedly at least from this second grade bulletin board, from this woman's and she's promoting this and saying, look at how great this is. Uh, this is transgender according to according to this I guess they're they're eleven or twelve years old, is a person who is assigned male or female at birth but doesn't identify that way. What the heck does

a second grader know about that? And why are they being taught this stuff that I would look, there's still a lot of back and forth on what this really is. It is not physical. As I've discussed you before, transgenderism cannot be based on the physical, meaning that it's not a chromosomal abnormality or anything like that. Because and then they'll say, well, that does exist in science, and I say yes, but the people that you're talking about, transgender

activists just think there's something else. So it's completely a psychological thing. But they're teaching this to second graders. Uh. The cis gender a person who is assigned male or female at birth and identifies that way, also known as gender queer. This is the second graders. It's complex and can mean a lot of things. A person who doesn't identify as straight or by, or gay or lesbian. This is for second graders in the classroom. Folks, What does

any of this even mean? It doesn't identify as straight or by, or gay or lesbian? What is that? Then? What's left? I don't wanna put out some suggestions because they're gonna be pretty out there, but Okay, you're not straight, you're not gay, you're not by, you're not lesbian. I mean a sexual as a term, but that's not what queer means. And I just think that the fact that they're trying to teach this to second or they're propagandizing kids. So on the one hand, we can't allow for what

the cub scouts to bring this all together. We can't allow for young men to have a place where they can be men among each other and not have the influence of, you know, the opposite sex on them, which can bring its own stresses and changes so that that can't be allowed. But on the other hand, boys and girls starting at like age nine need to be told what queer and transgender is now by their teachers in a classroom setting. You know, I still remember I found out.

I found out what I was in the fourth grade. This is a true story. A kid named Andrew told me what sex was. That's how I found out. He was just walking around and looking some in the face and saying, do you know how people have sex? So when a guy takes his privates and just smashes into a woman and they have a baby. I remember, I was like, I was horrified at the time, but it turned out he was kind of right, sort of. I never really I think he was in the third grade.

I was think I was in the third grade. I'll never forget that. Kids that to me, and that's how I learned about it. Uh, pretty funny. All right, We'll be back with with much more. Team, stay with me, Team. I only drink in moderation and so what I am going to kick back, relax and have some kind of alcoholic beverage. G four tequila is my choice because I want to make a count and I want the best G four is the pinnacle of master distiller Felipe camaron

When can you lean in for the kiss? That is a question that I've heard talked about a lot more in the era of the Me Too movement and all the big revelations about some of the very high profile, wealthy and powerful predatory men

out there. But you know, it also reminds me back of back when I was at Amberous my first week and their official college campus guidance was at each stage. I'm just telling you, all right, this is what they told me. You might be sitting there like buck, this is bizarre, and I'm telling you I agree. But they said, at each stage of the sexual escalation process you had to verbalize your next move before taking it. And I'm

so and I remember actually I was there. I was a little bit subversive, even leon in my college career. I said, so, so, if you're kissing a girl and you want to put your hand in the upstairs area, you've got to like ask first. And they said yes. I said, what if you want to go for like the small back or you know you're you're kissing and you're gonna go for you know you're gonna slide the head down around around the tush. H. Yes, you have to ask. So you guys mean you don't mean like

for the big things that we're all adults here. You know we know what we're talking about. Uh, you you ask, right, that's understand. You mean literally everybody part every move you want verbal consent beforehand. That is your guidance. The answer was yes, And I was like, this seems like not a particularly romantic approach to male female relations I've got to say, uh that all said, turns out that not only Amherst in the early two thousands, and many other

colleges had that today. There to the eighteen, the Pentagon has spent almost seven hundred thousand dollars on quote can I Kiss you? Training? So the training event, according to the Free Beacon here, is aimed to provide soldiers with skills to build respectful sexual relationships and tools to apply effective communication with partners, etcetera, etcetera. Okay, we all get that, and that's all fine, Um, but I gotta tell you, uh, there's one part of this where I said, really, um,

can I kiss you? As a six let me give you some of the details. It's a sixty ninety minute training session. Who's It's taught by a guy named Mike dam Ritz, who is an author and public speaker who travels the world teaching people about consent. A hallmark of the training is telling troops they must ask a woman before a kiss ending a date, no matter what you know. I don't know about that one. May I kiss hill

exculs Babis. I've enjoyed h steak, touch hard together, and I really liked that Bolt of chocolate lava cake, and it's a lovely night and the air is breezy, and I would like to press my mouth against your mouth, May please have your consent? That feels like it's not gonna work out in your favor. Uh, lots of tops. You know that there is this. I guess maybe you're not allowed. You know, masculinity is increasingly just considered toxic

as a thing. Masculinity needs to be it needs to be tamed, and actually, for progressive leftists it really needs I guess all leftists are progressive, so that's a repetitive. But for the left, for the liberals out there, they want to tone down and if possible, even eliminate masculinity everywhere they can as much as they can. There is a male female dynamic at play in in a romantic relationships where it's just biochemically going to be more times than not. I'm not saying all the time that the

guy makes the first move. That's all I'm saying, makes the first move. And this is stuff that we've all picked up through books and movies and in our culture for a long time. Now, Ladies out there, if you've made the first move and went well, congrats, and uh, I respect the game, but to say that a guy has to ask a girl for a kiss at the end of the date strikes me as a little rigid.

Now you get into okay, buck, what's your suggestion? You know, you kind of do the like the headside twist thing, and you kind of lean a little loose, and you know she's gonna know what's up, and then she has the option of meeting you a halfway literally or not. And to all the guys out there who guys like me who have been on I've been on a lot of dates. Let me tell you lots of dates. Most of them went very well in the sense that we got a long fine and you know, everyone was very polite,

almost all him. Actually I'm a gentleman with excellent manners. But you know, I just feel like once in a while, maybe you know, you think you think you're getting waved in, not to home, but the first base. You think you're getting waved in, and and you get the little like chin down kind of headbut looking thing and you realize, whoops, misread that one, and then you're done zo. Right. The problem with some of these guys out there is that and we're now we're talking about like like the bro

call and all this stuff is. You don't get to like trying to make someone do that. You're just offering up the option. It's kind of like saying if you're standing there and you put your arms, your hands behind your back, and you extend your your chin forward and you make a like a kissy face, and you know she knows what you're trying to do. At that point, she can either get in on that action or be like, you're a weirdo. I'm not I'm not kissing you, right.

I feel like that's the consent stage, and I'm missing something. I mean, yeah, you can't grab someone try to force them, that's a salt, but you have to now verbalize it beforehand. I mean, go back and watch the terrible movie Hitch, which is a really bad movie. The whole thing was, you know, at the end of the first date, if you like or you think it's going on, you gotta

lean you know, you lean in for the kiss. Are we really that fragile now as a species that I need to tell everybody that we we need like a verbal consent before making the move. You know, I think about this, what am I gonna be writing on a napkin like it's scales day. Well we have finished desserts. I would like to uh slabber all over your face.

I just think this is and the Pentagon spent seven hund thousand dollars on it, which in Pentagon terms is like there's nothing they could have spent like seven million on can I Kiss you? Training? And everybody like, I'm sure there's some good stuff in the training, but at one point about about you know, you have to ask at the end of the date for a kiss. Go back and watch the movie Hitch, which I don't think anyone thinks that Will Smith is training whatever that what's

that comedian's named Brandon? You know the guy I'm talking about, James Kevin thank you, Yes, Kevin James. You know, I don't I don't think anyone thinks that Will that Will Smith that movie is training Kevin James to be a predator. But he's like, you know, lean in to kiss her. If she doesn't want to kiss you, she just doesn't kiss you. You know, there's like a meeting halfway part of this. Anyway, Maybe I'm just old fat, but old fashioned now is getting getting the heat you know, I'm

just a little more old fashion about this stuff. Uh, let me know on a in the roll call coming up here well for tomorrow. Write me on Facebook, tell me if you think I'm right on this. And when we come back, I got an update on this is great, by the way, an update on that prom dress that's a cheap how the traditional Chinese dress that that nice young lady in Utah war. Turns out that the liberals who think that they're standing up for everybody else might

have jumped the gun a little bit. I will give you details on that right when we get back. Seeing I have an update for you from the cultural appropriation prom dress battle that I told you about earlier in the week. No surprise here, guess what. It turns out that the people who were all upset on behalf of Chinese culture and the Chinese people, but the Americans on Twitter who are like, oh my gosh, how could you wear that dress? They're so upset about it they didn't

stop to see or even think. Maybe in China this could be considered just fine. And now from the South China Morning Post newspaper, it turns out that the predominant opinion that they're picking up from social media in China. Member, this young woman, uh Kezia Dam wore the cheapao, which is a traditional Chinese dress, and it turns out that a lot of people in China think that this isn't cultural appropriation, they think it is cultural appreciation. Oh wow,

what a shock. You know, this isn't the first time this has happened. There have been some other incidents in recent history where, for example, a Native American tribe, uh, you know, the name was changed from Native American tribe, only to find out that, you know, maybe the local tribe actually think it's pretty cool that the university mascot is named for them, right. You know, this is just this is such a a stalinist view of of culture

that the left takes on all of this. Think about all the different ways in which you show your appreciation of different cultures on a regular basis um and you can either be doing it in a way that is appreciative or you obviously could be doing in a way that maybe is uh mocking or exploitative or something. But you know, this is the difference between yeah, a a fraternity party where all of the you know, the the privileged kids dress up as like white trash that's happened

at some of these fraternities, or as gang bangers. That's that's not meant to be respectful or nice. So I understand why people are bothered by that. But a university mascot, for example, that that's a symbol of strength and unity. And that's why when people say, oh, the fighting Irish, they need to get rid of the little lepre con No. It's supposed to be all about that the fighting Irish are a bunch of fighters, and this is cool. It's

not meant to demean or to debase. And you see this with a girl to her prom, this is obviously a special occasion. You know, an American culture, we an American speaking of American culture, it makes such a big deal out of I don't even remember my problem, and not because I was drunk, because I wasn't because kids, not while you're underage, no drinking um. But I don't remember my problem really at all. And it's really at least I can say, in New York City it really

wasn't a big thing. No one really paid much attention to it. But I know a lot of other parts of the country, probably because they're in a co ed school alsos you get prom king and prom queen and all that. But if you wear a dress to your prom, you're wearing it because you like it, because you think it's pretty, and because you're trying to celebrate that aspect

of the culture. Or maybe, and here's a crazy idea for the libs out there, maybe you just think it's a pretty dress and don't care where it's from or what it's all about. And that's okay too. It is a dress. You are allowed to like something and then where it But I just thought this was great that that the Chinese people on social media, and look, they didn't do some big uh testing on this or something, but this is the the predominant sense of what of

what actual China. Remember there's a Chinese motive dress. The predominant sense that that you're getting on what's the name of the uh we Bow, which is a huge Chinese social media network. I believe um. They said they were saying things like very elegant and beautiful and I suggest the Chinese government, state television or fashion company invite her to China to display her cheap out. The Chinese people are like, oh, this American girl thinks that this Chinese

dress is pretty? Isn't that great? You know? You know what that is? Spokes right, That's a normal human reaction. That's what any person who wasn't steeped in social justice craziness, that's the only person would respond it's flattering. How how is that not? You know, when I go to, you know, eat Indian food and I'm like, Indian food is delicious. I'm not stealing from the people of India. I'm actually paying in many cases people who are of Indian descent

because their food is delicious. Because I love Indian food. I love a lot of different kinds of food. You know, it's it's a high five. It's not a slap down. And we need to be willing to stand up and and defend that distinction in our culture. That's what I meant by you know, the difference between what you wear as a prom dress to look pretty and you know, a fraternity party where they're all wearing uh, you know,

white tank tops. People call them wife beaters, very improperly, very un pc Uh, that's what they refer to the tank top. I'm I don't I'm just saying that's how some of these fraternities do. Uh, there's a big difference, and we need to understand these differences and distinguish what's being done here. And I'm just happy to see that. Yeah, no surprise. Plenty of Chinese people are weighing in on this. In America, it's how could you wear the cheap How?

In China they're like, looks pretty, Honor, We're glad she liked it. Maybe you know, take some photos and use it for the Chinese Tourism ministry or something. Why not, you know, get more people to buy, more people to buy cheap pals. Maybe there's a business here. That's why we That's the way we should think about these things. All right. We got roll Call up next. Ain't no party like a Team Buck party, because a Team Buck party don't stop. Yeah, we got Bucks turned up to eleven.

It's time for roll Call. I think that maybe my favorite of the Royal Call intros so far. But the team and I will have to come up with some new ones here because you know, we'd like to keep you on your toes. Uh. If you want to be a part of roll Call, it's pretty straightforward. Facebook dot com, slash Buck Sexton, let me know what you think, give me thoughts about the show, tell me, tell me things, tell me things, and the roll call, because that's how

we like to do it. And let's now get into it. Um, James rites cultural appropriation. No one had a problem with Nehru jackets in the late nineteen sixties. All James, you are in fact correct, Although whenever somebody brings up Nehru jackets I immediately start thinking of Team America World Police when he's like, not the Nehru Jackets. But if you haven't seen that, you won't know what I'm talking about. How But yeah, cultural appropriation, we spent some time in it. Today.

It's just crazy. People are just people are just nuts. Next up we get Matthew, who writes Buck great show. I'm a proud O. S S team member. The way the MSM is describing the refugees at our border, I thought I was watching the final scene in Tears of the Sun, great movie, by the way, if these people were only fleeing their home country, why not just stay in Mexico. The whole narrative is a joke. Keep up

the fight for rational thought, semper five. Thank you very much, Matthew, appreciate having somebody oss writing in I always do tears. This sun Is is a pretty watchable movie, although I feel like it's a little relentless in the tension, and it's a little depressing in some parts obviously, But uh, it's it's well done. That guy with the Foehawk who plays the Seal Marksman is particularly compelling in that role, I always thought. And Bruce Willis does a very good job.

You know, Bruce Willis, he's he's been getting it done now for going on forty years. So I gotta get the guy credit. Uh, next up here. Oh but one thing that's here's the sun Is. I'm pretty sure they they have a made up country. I forget what the name of the country is, and I'm like, why can't they just pick a country? You know? What's with the made up country thing? Uh? We have Erica who writes, We're going to Washington, d C. This summer. Our hotel

is in the Chinatown section. I'm hoping to indulge myself in dim sum Can you recommend a place we're taking the kids? Any suggestions on what not to miss? It greatly appreciated. Oh, Erica, you know, I'm just getting my feet wet here in the swamp once again. I'm I'm a reformed swamp dweller. And now I'm I'm starting to remember where the streets go and everything else. I'm getting my bearings here in terms of stuff that you can't you know, I'm there are a lot of people that

are in New York. I'm as good as it gets. I could tell you neighborhood by neighborhood what to see restaurants. I am a I'm a true New York connoisseur. Uh and uh, I'm a aficionado of all things and y C, d C. The swamp. I'm a little out of practice, I'm a little rusty. I'm a big fan of Georgetown for walks. Just going around Georgetown m streets really cool. But you know, you gotta do all the classic d

C stuff, right, you gotta go. Uh can you tour the Congressional you know, the Capitol Building, the Congressional Building? Can you do that? Now? I don't even know, See, I'm not up on these things. But do you go see the Smithsonian And there's all kinds of fun, good stuff to do, all kinds of culture stuff. You know, do the cultural things, go to cultural things, and uh, God bless. In terms of restaurants, I really can't give you Rex because I'm my favorite pie of my favorite

place is closed. I figured out today I walked past an old apartment building used to live and I was like, I moved in here thirteen years ago. That's a long time. I couldn't believe it. Anyway, next up here and by the way, I have a great time Erica in d C. Uh. Let's see, we have Kim who writes, thanks Buck for reading my best friends message last night on the air. You help me make her thirty fifth birthday the best and most memorable one yet chields high Well, Caim, I

hope so thank you so much. They look at it brings me a lot of joy knowing that folks appreciate the show and they like getting shout outs now and again. So I hope. I hope your friend enjoyed it and helps you had a very very happy birthday. Uh. And there you have it, Nick rights Buck. I'm in d C applying for a Chinese visa for my MBA program. Your show has been on my truck as I drive to work in Camp Le June. I'm a marine who spent his childhood in the former Soviet Union. Are you

available for a quick lunch? Um? You know what, Nick, We'll see we can get a coffee. How about that. I'll shoot you, I'll shoot you some info here and uh, we'll try to make that happen with it right now. I'm back and forth a lot between New York and d C. But if I'm around, be happy to chat and talk to you. You know, any any any marine who wants coffee time with Buck. If we can make it happen, will make it happen. Uh. Next up, we

have whoa hold on a second, Jonathan. Oh, this is so cute and you guys can really appreciate this because you don't see the photos and we are going to get producer Mike. Can you can you do a deep dive in into the the inbox here and pull out the cutest baby baby animal photos that are friends our team Buck family owns here because there's some really cute ones. Are ferret Luna at twelve weeks old. I think the ferrets so cute. I like ferrets, any any warm blooded

creature I have an affinity for. I can't, guys, I can't get behind the whole pet lizard thing. I know, I don't know turtles. I'm I'm okay with turtles, don't bother me. But any other lizard, it's just, uh, I feel like we're just a few days. You know, any day now there could be some kind of an incident with nuclear waste or or toxic waste or something, and then the lizard gets really big and intelligent and tries

to eat me. I just don't trust lizards. You know, you can call me a lizard of Fobe and snakes are obviously the worst thing. An't between snakes and spiders, Brandon, what's worse? Snakes or spiders? Spiders smaller? Getting your shoes there? You go, Yeah, there's nothing about like a snake. I feel like even like, yeah, you know, we're both members of the animal kingdom that are trying to do our thing. With spiders, it's just like, why do you even exist? Man?

Like spiders are the worst? Very anti spider, James writes buck Love the show. The one form policy we have not tried is to rewrite and distribute the Koran. Eliminating the parts which include jihad. Passing out a few Bibles wouldn't hurt either, well, James, I like the creativity. I'm not sure that that would have the intended effect, but I can appreciate where your where your head's at. Uh, let's see, year we have Eric a lot of cultural

appropriation talk. Eric rets, isn't cultural appropriation what America is all about? Give me your huddled masses? Well, absolutely are. This is why I've been saying cultural appropriation cannot be defined, cannot be enforced, cannot even be understood. What is it? What should we do about it? And what punishment should there be for those who disagree or refused to play by the rules. There's no answers to these questions. It's

it's total nonsense. It's emotion and virtue signaling masquerading as some kind of cultural sensitivity. So uh, you know, and and America is all about cultural appropriation. That's what we've done. We took all the we we took all the best stuff from Great Britain. We've taken all the best traditions from all kinds of cultures all over the world in terms of food and clothing and commerce and you know everything.

That's what we're all about here. And this is true if if you go back in into antiquity, even there's a tremendous amount of borrowing for all of the great powers of the world that have gone. And we we think of China as this monolithic state. For example, China for thousands of years has just been people coming and going in different groups and different languages, and uh, it's we we think of it as much more of a solidified mass, cultural and otherwise than it than it is. Um.

But that's just one example. I mean ancient Rome. You know they they used to have the short sword, right, So ancient Rome was all about the short sword, and then they fought enough barbarians where they decided, um that they would get a longer sword. So you know, people change these things. That the Gladius was the short sword, right, and then they switched to a longer sword after fighting all these barbarians up in Gaulan elsewhere. So you just

you know, you steal stuff from people. When it works, you steal it. So culturally, I don't mean I don't mean objects. I'm not advocating fevery here. So we have so many more wonderful notes here. I'm trying to pick them as we go through. Wayne. Right, it's great reminder of the haymarket affair on May Day. Thanks for pointing out the anarchist a k occupy movement, which devolved from an anti monarchy movement in Europe to its numerous permutations

of today. I enjoy your cooking and food discussions and voices and accents right now I'm hearing you do bro caw wow. Interestingal want I'll thank you Wayne for listening to my radio show. Bro call. Third female accuser, by the way, has come forward. All those people that wrote that letter. I'm just wondering, are all there are all three of the women lying or you know? But I digress. But Wayne, thank you anyeah. I like going to just some of the history deep dives here and there, so

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Uh one more here, Lieutenant Doug. Not to be confused, Lieutenant Dan, although both great patriots and great Americans. Plus one for Kong Fury mentioned from yesterday's show. It's an over the top thirty minute action short that is steeped in all the best parts of the eighties, from a Lamborghini kumtosh to the hacker with all the dial up with the dial up modem, to the l a detective with a black belt and to

take no prisoner's attitude. It just doesn't get better than this, suggested as paired with your second glass of G four tequila of the evening. Doug, great message and love the product placement in the roll call. Uh so yes, I you know, right now pouring a glass of G four for you in my my head, and I would just say that it was amazing how many uh American detectives new karate in the nineties, right, police detectives. Everybody knew karate. You go back and you look, You're like, oh, yeah,

of course they look karate. And you know, I think that that's one of the uh one of the sad things about modern American cinemas that we've all kind of figured out that you don't just sit at a desk all day and then also you're like the best guy in the world that throwing high kicks. There's actually some stuff that goes into uh high kicking. All right, that's gonna be it for a roll call today. Tomorrow is gonna be Thursday, which is fun. Please download this show,
