Speaker 1

Mr Garbutschof teared down this wall. Either you're with us or you were with the terrorists. If you've got healthcare already, then you can keep your plan. If you are satisfied with Trump is not, President said, take it to a bank together. We will make America great again. We'll never sharend It's what you've been waiting for all day. The Buck Sexton Show joined the conversation called Buck Toll free

at eight four four nine hundred Buck. That's eight four four nine hundred to eight to five the future of talk radio, Buck Sexton. Russia has made the decision to expel sixty of our staff from that country and also closed down our consulate in St. Petersburg. A short while ago, I spoke with our US Ambassador to Russia, John Huntsman, who is serving over there. We spoke by phone and he shared with me a statement which I'd like to

read with you this evening. Ambassador John Huntsman was convoked to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation. The Russian Federation dubbed sixty of our staff persona non grata and they now must depart within seven days. They also ordered the closure of our Consulate in St. Petersburg within forty eight hours. It's clear from the list provided to us that the Russian Federation is not interested in a dialogue on issues that matter to our two countries.

Welcome to the Buck, Sex and show everybody you heard the announcement there from the State Department. Russia retaliates against us after we retaliated against Russia for some of their poor behavior, for some of the government's actions around the world, most notably in recent weeks, the poisoning of a Russian dissident former Well, the guy was formally rushing himself with anov chuck, so they left chemical weapons fingerprints on that assassination attempt, and now we are pushing back on them.

I don't want to spend too much time on Russia. I just want to leave with though, because I would like us to be a little cautious as a people about how much we cheer on all this brinksmanship stuff with Russia, or this this notion of a tit for tat,

I for an eye. I'm not saying we do nothing, but this administration, the Trump administration, is now much more aggressive in its responses to Russian You can say Russian aggression around the world, and the Obama administration was at any point in its eight years, And I worry that a lot of this has been uh pushed forward because

of the hysteria around the election meddling stuff. So, you know, Democrats, who usually would be the one saying whoa, whoa, we don't we don't want to, we don't want to be the ones that are, you know, messing around with this nuclear power. Let's all. Ever, everybody calm down, a little bit, calm down. Instead they're like, yeah, get him. You know. The Democrats usually wants telling us to back off, cave to the dictator, don't worry about the strong man, the

U n will handle it. But because they think that Russia stole the election from Hillary, they're all, you know, yeah, like, why doesn't Trump take a tougher line on Russia, a tougher line on Russia. The Russian economy is not formidable as compared to OURUS at all, but Russia's ability to cause problems for US in other ways, not directly militarily, but through third parties, through proxies, Russia's Arsenal, which has

all kinds of stuff. Ever, I mean, how many of us let's be honest, even knew what nov Chuck was before it appeared in the newspapers as a chemical weapon that was proprietary ry to the Russians that they used in an assassination attempt. They got all kinds of nasty stuff. But now we seem to have a situation where the media and the establishment has gone from saying Trump is so weak on Russia to oh wow, Okay, Trump is

doing a lot. That's a good thing. And I worry that now you've got everybody, it's like everyone's rowing in the same direction on this one. And maybe just we need to keep an eye on how much we want to antagonize Russia for any number of these issues that the administration has tackled in the last twelve months or so, and even before that, remember there were the obamaministration put

sanctions on where Obama was a lame duck president. That's an easy thing to do, but we we should not, we should not be to cavalier about poking at this country time and time again in the ways that we are.

There are a lot of ways they can make things difficult for us, and it would be better, It would be much better if, in fact, we were in a place where we could find common ground with Russia, and and the environment has become such that you even say that almost sounds now like you're some kind of a turn coat, right, you know, we should find common ground with Russia. Oh does potent have video of you with the hookers or something? I mean, it's always, that's always

the response. Now in one way or another, you're insufficiently pro American or you're insufficiently loyal to America. Now, and this is kinda and it's not bipartisan, but you've seen this in both parties. If you even raise the idea of let's have a more constructive relationship with Russia, that's not just premised on you know, you do this, and we do that in response, and it's heading in a

very negative direction. I would also know that Russia is a whole lot less important to the United it States in every sense then China. And yet you have all this piling on oh trum putting the dictator and all this bad stuff, and so much less of the media's attention spent on China and the the economic and military

challenge that it poses for us. You know, Cyberg gets a little more tension Now this is just a reflection of the Trump's arrangement syndrome that's been pushing the media now for gosh, I don't even know how many, you know, eighteen months, pushing the media to run with this Russia story as though it's such a big deal. So everything with Russia is magnified, is what I'm saying. And the environment now is a little bit of a frenzy. There's

a little bit of a hysteria and yeah, yeah, get Russia. Okay, let's let's just pump the brakes a little bit on this, right. Russia is really not a country that affects your day to day very much, doesn't affect my day to day very much, and yet it's a ordered on the media all the time. This obsession with Putin and we all know why hasn't changed really at all as a country since Obama was in office. But now all of a sudden, it's and I think, and this is I guess my

cautionary note here. I feel like it's some level the democrat and media is like the guy who's you know, at the other end of the bar, who's saying, yeah, get him, just to see if you can get yourself into some trouble, you know, egging you on, egging us, meaning America on to go after Russia, wondering if maybe we'll make a blunder along the way. We've got big We've got big financial issues that are heading for this country. Uh. The more I dig into it, the more time I

spent thinking about it. It's coming, folks, And it's a function of math. I'm not pretending that I've got some crystal ball here, and I can tell you when it is a function of math. We are twenty one trillion in debt. We don't even talk about dealing with our debts anymore. We passed them on the future generations. It is entered generational theft. It is happening on a multi trillion dollar, multi decade basis, and it is unsustainable even

for us. Our country is in a little bit of of a of a hubris about how much debt we can how much we can play games with credit, how much debt we can carry, and this is an issue that we have to deal with sooner than later. But there's nothing on this. Instead, it's all, yeah, we expelled some Russian diplomats, they expelled our diplomats. Okay, Fine, It's a news story that's much more instant the media than

it is to you and me. And that's because, ultimately, do you think anyone will care or even remember in six months. The only thing that I think that that could make it important is it is now creating something of a momentum in the short term where there could be a miscalculation, there could be an over and over reaction Russia could decide make things very nasty for US. I've always been concerned about Russian support to the Taliban,

which US four star Jen Rolls have been saying. You know, at least one general in particularly been saying, I think there's a problem we got here. Guys, think about what happens if they decided to turn up that uh turn up that heat. I could get very ugly, very quickly. So I have my concerns here. I know it's being celebrated as a victory, and you know it's harder for them to rome with the Trump is a Russian puppet narrative when Trump is going after Russia more than than

any of his recent predecessors have. But that doesn't mean that we should get too enthusiastic about it either. I want to talk to you about the the decision not to create a second special counsel. I think it's the right one. I'll get into why that is, um and we will also talk about Oh, I've got more on Roseanne for you. I watched the show two episodes in fact, and I did not well, let's let's just leave that

out there. But if a cliffhanger for you, I don't want to tell you who gets the rose I gotta wait till after the commercial. I don't know how many of you watch The Bachelor. Ms. Molly has made me watch it like a few times. Calm back, calm down, nonsense. Uh so, yeah, she twisted my arm. That's right. And we've got we've got a whole bunch of things we've gotta hit on. So we have a pack show, as we always do. If you want to add your voice into the mix here eight four four to five eight fuck,

we'll be right back. But certainly, drugs are flowing across borders. We need walls. We started building our wall. I'm so proud of it. We started, We started. We have one point six billions and we've already started. You saw the pictures yesterday. I said, what a thing of beauty and we're getting that sucker built. And you think that's easy. People said, oh, has he given up on the one nine? Never give up. I never. We have one point six billion towards the wall. That's what I do is I build.

I was always very good at building. It was always my best thing. I think better than being president. I was maybe good at building. So Trump saying we're getting the wall right here, we are, Omnibus passed, and he's saying there's gonna be a walt No one thinks one point six billion is gonna be enough. So what's the next step. I know there are these theories out there, and they've been floated by Trump himself that he's gonna use military spending. I think that could lead to an

immediate challenge in federal court, which would delay anything. But I m hm. And Trump is saying it's one point six billion and that that's gonna be a good start. Gets a little frustrating sometimes. And we're gonna talk about other things to do on the show. I want to talk to you more about the deep state, taking the deep state on. We'll get into that in a few minutes. But I've I've seen some of the commentary from some

very ardent Trump supporters. You know, I think it's hard to find somebody who was earlier on in her support for a Trump presidency than than Ann Coulter. And we've had I've had on I don't know how many times I've had her on radio shows in the past a bunch, and she is really going after Trump on this and now, I like, I think she's just offering up this criticism of Trump as a as a corrective in the aftermath

of that whole omnibus bill situation. I think so. But be prepared for some some harsh, some harsh stuff from from his culture regarding Trump, who She wrote a book, you remember before the presidency, like Trump is the most awesome thing ever or something. It was something it was like that, that was that was the book. I mean, I forget what the exact title was, but it was like Trump is the most amazing thing ever. She refers to him sometimes as the Emperor God Trump, you know,

like ants. It's very very witty, very funny. But she is not taking this wall omnibus bill situation lightly at all. It was precisely that he was so course that allowed him to make these say these incredibly courageous things. He didn't care what Manhattan eleas thought of it against to the White House. Suddenly all he wants is the approval of the Manhattan fancy people. He sure didn't care for the eighteen months he was running so the shallow course

ignoram us. Yes, it was a selling point because he didn't care what people thought of him. Now all he wants is for Goldman Sachs to like him. I don't know what happened, but that's a different president. I haven't changed. She's upset about what's going on here about the wall, as you can see, and I will know that in her I think she said this week or in a column this week, she says, if Trump builds the wall, I'll retract everything mean I've ever said. And he's totally right,

and he's the most amazing president ever. Again, but I gotta say, folks, I just wanna establish now that we this is not one that we can explain away if it doesn't happen. If it doesn't happen, the president didn't make it happen. And this was a promise that it was what separated him from Rubio and the others. This is what was different. He's willingness to even talk about this.

It's one of the only reasons we can even discuss immigration now in the context of how it's not always how a legal immigration, for example, is not just one big pile of awesome for US. UM. But he's he's saying it's gonna get built. I'm I'm withhold. I'm not withholding judgment entirely, but I can't give a final judgment on this until we know whether or not it actually happens. UM. We also have California today, very very noteworthy backing off a little bit of the UH sanctuary city mandates that

they've put in place. California has laws that are completely completely out of control when it comes to immigrations and customs enforcement. And now we're gonna have to see if, in fact they're gonna ease off a little bit at the state level because Orange cown he has said that they they want to oppose the sanctuary laws that are in place here. And you get into this this fight

at will the state pushed back on this. Will the state, when I mean I don't mean the big es state, I mean the state of California say no, you have to do this you have to this way, we say, um, but you know, these are only debates and discussions that are happening because of Trump's standard immigration. And I would note I mentioned and before people sometimes forget this. Trump read or at least took the argument from Audios America

and ran with that in the beginning. And that's how you remember the comment that all of a sudden, people like, whoa, he's way ahead and the polls was about Mexico not sending us their best. That was such a a bolt of lightning in terms of what the political consensus allowed at that point in time, meaning that it was just like what did he say? Right? It was it was a shock to the system. And then the promises about the wall came up, and now here we are and

he's saying he's gonna get it built. He saying it's gonna get done. We have to hold him to account on this, and we absolutely have to. Um. He's also saying by that he's going to protect the Second Amendment. I have no no concerns about that, and respected in some circles Democrat said we want to get rid, we should get rid of our Second Amendment. In other words, get rid of it. That's really Chris could be right about that. Your Second Amendment will always be your second Amendment.

We're not doing anything to that, and yet there's such a dishonesty out there. I think gas lighting is a is a term that I'm familiar with from the left where and I believe it's taken initially from abusive situations where somebody says, somebody will hit somebody. This is like domestic relationship situation, will hit somebody and then you know, an hour later we're like, I didn't hit you, and

it's a form of psychological abuse. Uh. There's some kind of gas lighting that goes on with the media and the repeal of the Second Amendment, where they'll have big outlets run with the story and then they'll and they'll put the opinion out there if yeah, yeah, we should repeal the Second Amendment, And then when people go, whoa hold on a second? You want to be the second and they go, oh, no, no one said, no one sang that, No one sang it. Well, well, which is it?

Can we get some Can we get some clarity on that one? That would be I think particularly word while and then one more thing, I mean Trump spoke earlier today. So this is just another one one that comes to mind here. On taxes. They all want to be back in the USA, A lot of them left. They're coming back. We've eliminated a record number of job killing regulations. That's one of the reasons they're coming back. We killed the

regulation and it's a thing of beauty. So I think that's been a big, big success and a re and for our success, and we've made history by massively reducing job killing taxes. I'm all for it, but let's be clear, reducing taxes is about as mainstream a GOP position as you're ever gonna find. That's not revolutionary at all. I'm happy for it. I'm not discounting it. Baba Bucka definitely Papa Buck needs a new pair of shoes. Literally, my sneakers that I try to work out in once a

month are wearing out on me entirely. So I'm all for the tax thing. But when I talked about the Trump Agenda, I'm particularly enthusiastic about the aspects of it that are different than the GOP, different than the swamp, different than what has been business as usual. We gotta hold them to that, folks. We're gonna stay on it. We'll go back. He's back with you now, because when it comes to the fight for truth, the funk never stops.

The Democrats appear like they weaponize to some degree the intelligence services by using the foreign intelligence surveillance apparatus in this country to go and target the opposition campaign is totally unacceptable, and that's what happened here. I am happy that Bob good Laugh subpoened these one point two million documents, but I said this earlier in the week. We need

those documents. Like yesterday, I think we're going to get all the documents, and if we don't, then we should move quickly to contempt, and then we should move to impeachment. One of the mistakes we made is we never impeached Lois Lerner and we never impeached Costagan. Had we gotten later with it, we wouldn't be here today. They got away with faith. Devin Noon is laying down some heat

as he should. Look. The reality I think here has been clear for a while, and that is is people in very senior positions in the government under the Obama administration who figured that Hillary was definitely gonna win, but they wanted to make sure that she won they wanted to help um, and they also were terrified of the notion of a Trump residency. Abused their discretion and their authority and did what they could to try to dig up dirt on Trump or just create this whole narrative.

You know all that, right. I mean, we've even add nauseum on this story because the media keeps coming. Although right now, I'll tell you they're much more interested in Stormy Daniels there's the main story and CNN right now than they aren't anything having to with Russia, including the expulsion of sixty of our diplomats by the Russians. That's that's uh second to your stuff, the the minutia that

gets attention from the left. When it comes to Stormy Daniels stuff, it's like a Stormy Daniels lawyer had a bacon, egg and cheese McMuffin this morning. I mean, the stuff they're running with OVERTENA it's like not not even news, it's just just they want to they want to flash photos on the screen of the porn star that alleged the affair. And I guess their audience. I guess people that hate Trump likes seeing this over and over again. It affects them not one bit, and it's really not interesting.

But here we are. It's the main story. And I do believe by the way they're they're laying off the Russia stuff right now because they want this whole policy response from Trump to pass and then they can start pounding the Trump is in Russia's pocket. Druma again, But right now it's a little too much dissonance, even for CNN if such a thing as possible and apples or banana, bananas,

an apple, it's all the same thing. But on the weaponization of the intelligence community, specifically d o J and FBI, which is I like to note the scariest part of the government. Like I said before, prosecutors are very frighting, but also the DJ in general. You do not ever want to be sitting across the table from a U S attorney or an assistant U S attorney discussing your options for a plea. You know, there's no parole in the federal government system, so you serve the whole sentence,

and the mandatory minimums are rough. So at the federal government, including for crimes, you're like, wait, what we're not talking about for acts murderers, here folks were talking about for male fraud. We're talking about for for other things. I'm pretty sure a woman actually just got Speaking of how our justice system, I think honestly that the way that punishment has told out our justice system in a lot

of ways doesn't make very much sense. Um. I think a woman just got five years for voting illegally in Texas. I'm pretty sure I saw that today. Five years in prison, forecasting and illegal one illegal vote. She was a felon and did not know and said she did not know that she was not allowed to vote after the completion of her sentence. But you'd be surprised which you get sent away for and how long you know you commit it.

You commit fraud, you you could be facing a long stretch in the pen if you're somebody who you know, do something really terrible and violent. Depending on whether you go to state core, if it's not federal state, you know you might have a better shot. You know, you

just don't know. There are definitely people that serve more time for white collar crimes in many instances than for uh, manslaughter for example, if you take a please anyway, So the the Attorney General, my buddy Jeff As you know, he has said that the special prosecutor is not going to be the option the d o J goes with right now to look into all this stuff. Special prosecutor is not the way, not the way to go. They're

gonna have the Inspector General. Look, I think this is the right move, and I think it's the right move for a number of reasons. For one, if it comes from inside the Department of Justice itself, I think now you can argue this one. But I think that it seems a little more like, well, it's just the normal process, and if you set up a separate special council, it looks like you're just trying to you know, you're trying

to do a Yeah, I'm doing this as well. You know, it's fighting fire with fire, but so political, because the current special council, the Mueller probe is so obviously a witch hunt against Trump, to set up another special council may look like you're just trying to dirty up the other side, whereas you could just use the Inspector General and the internal processes of the Department of Justice to

get this information. Well, we've seen this week is not only that decision coming out from Jeff Sessions, but also the FBI now has agreed two and this is under FBI Director Ray to move more quickly on things, because my friends, FBI is playing games here, no question about it. I don't mean the whole FBI. I'm not saying like every field agent in you know, Topeka is messing around

with the books or something. I mean, at the top level in d C, at at FBI, h Q, there are decisions that are being made that are at a minimum skewed towards defending the bureau's reputation at a minimum, and that's not the way that's supposed to be. We should have a full accounting of the facts, or we should know exactly what happened. You know, You're starting to see a problem here, the disparities and the hypocrisy, right, the disparity between the Hillary Clinton email investigation. How are

witnesses treated, How is Hillary treated? How was the law read? And then how the special counsel has been going with Trump? Right, how are those witnesses treated? Is anything overlooked? Is any has anyone given the benefit of the doubt? You know, does the tie go to the runner with Hillary? You know, and even have to run to the base and they were calling you safe with Trump. You're getting tagged after you've dusted yourself off already hit the base and they're

calling you out right. It's it's a very disparate treatment. But within the d o J itself, what you see is if if you lie to d o J, are you engage in any kind of hiding or impropriety, you as a private citizen, particularly if you're tied to Trump, you're you're dunzo. I mean, you are gonna get crushed. But if you happen to work for the d o J, you know there's gonna be a lot of efforts to try to keep stuff secret, and you know that they're

going to cover for you. The fact that the text messages between Struck, the FBI agent and his UH mistress Page talked about this judge and how they wanted to make sure that they could meet with the judge and not recuse themself. That judge was overseeing the Flinm case at the time. That's a big deal. Why would the FBI, on on what legitimate grounds would they hold that back from us? The answer is none. The answer is that they're protecting the reputation of the Bureau and they think

they have a very wide mandate to do that. And I'm here to tell you that that is troubling. We see time and again political abuses in agencies that have a whole lot of power FBI i r S with Lois Learner, as was mentioned, and there's no accountability. There is no accountability, and the government seems to think that they can rely on secretcy. Remember there was a lot of secrecy in the i R S too. Can't release tax and tax information, can't release this, can't release that,

you know, criminal liability. I think even for people to release private tax information, uh, that's you know, that they've gotten from a third party. So they are all kinds of problems, all kinds of issues with how the government tries to keep information back from us, and we just have to demand to see it. We have to say, you know what, this is enough of the games. You know, this FISA abuse situation. This should be a four alarm fire.

To my my friends out there who are fireman, I don't know if that's the what's the most for a fire? Is it four alarms or five alarms? I mean, if if stuff gets like really wild, if it's like a raging, fiery tornado inferno? Is that like a six alarm fire? I don't know. I don't know fireman stuff. I just remember all the funny jokes that the m YPD you used to make about the f d n Y and I can't repeat them on air because I don't want

to get in the middle of that. But I think fore alarm fires the most anyway, it should be a forelarm fire using despying apparatus of the United States government. I also know this is another thing? Is am I right? Forelarm fire or five? Come on, John? What do you got for me? Ten alarm fire? Whoa not? Six? Seven? Um? All right, well, apparently there's ten alarm fires which I didn't know about. That must be crazy. I must be like staring into the mouth of the volcano. Right, that's

that's a ten alarm fire. But the the spying apparacity the United States government another note here, we had this thing now if not ever referring to spying. You know it's interesting, isn't it. I mean you had h I think the former CI director say that the agency for example, like doesn't doesn't really doesn't spy here, it's just intelligence no,

there's spying, right, there's spying going on. And when people are intercepting your communications, that's you can call it surveillance, which is a sort of a fancy French word for spying, because that's what it is, the surveyance. Say it like that and all of a sudden sounds a little cooler or not. But the spying apparatus of the United States

government was used for political purposes. And as I've said to you, all they had to get was one really juicy nugget, you know, all they had to get was one bit of information that was either it didn't even have to be criminal, it just had to be so of politically damaging that it could be leaked the Washington

Then would all be over right? I mean, just imagine for one second that you know, somebody that they had under surveillance, where they they when they gathered these communications from Carter Page or somebody else, there was something off hand said that was really and you you don't need me to to paint a picture here, you can think

of it yourself. Right, this is a hypothetical, but really, uh, not something you'd want publicized that got out there from any member of the campaign or or even from somebody you know, Trump or somebody right around him at the top level, could have been the end, right, just one email, one text message and if you have the legal discretion to look for that information based on Carter Page is running some international conspiracy and Carter Page is a clown.

He may be a reasonably nice guy, I don't know, but he's a clown. He's not doing any conspiracy. He's the center of this whole thing. He's the centerpiece of all of this. You know, Ever since I interviewed Julian Assans, I'm not gonna lie, I've been a little worried about my own communications. That was like a year ago. I'm like, oh gosh, they I shouldn't. Maybe I shouldn't do this from you know, an I P address that's actually tied to me. But anyway, just talk to the guy. But

we don't want our government spying on us. This should be a really big deal, a really big story. Notice how the same people who are up in arms about whether Facebook shared information that Facebook already has with a third party for the purposes of marketing, when they're doing that all the time anyway, those people are so freaked out about information they are freely giving to the government.

Are somehow on the other side of this, people who are telling you that miking up Carter Page is entire life basically based on this preposterous idea that he's a Russian agent. Is okay, this is the single most important thing the Department of Justice can do right now, get us answers and the truth on this. I think the Inspector General is equipped for it. I think a special counsel is probably not needed as long as the i G. Is pushing hard and Jeff Sessions is going to push it.

And I think that's, uh, that's where we are on this, so we'll see. Um. But you know there are these text messages about different figures involved in this by possible coordination. We we need this stuff to be out there. I want the facts, all right, all right, I know I've run longer. I'm gonna run to a break. Uh. Let's just do that and I'll come right back. I got a lot more, well, John, just so you know you did not overstate it. My friend, uh, Mike, send this

to me. A sixteen alarm fire, which is this is the the the fiery Sharknado of fires. I mean, I didn't even know that was a thing sixteen alarm fire in Brooklyn back in Um, I don't. I mean, I don't think they could. That's not really a fire. I don't know. I don't know. I I just learned. I've heard about like a fore alarm fire before. I just realized I don't know any of my firefighting. All I know I learned from backdraft, and I'm assuming that's not

very much. So, if any, we actually have a lot of listeners who were firefighters, so you know, send me some resources so I can actually learn how this goes. I know that, you know, they build the trucks, they make a lot of noise, they bring water, they wear suits. You know. I don't know. I don't know much about

it at all. And then I always was. I was just always a musing I was never given the other side of it, which is the fire department guys making fun of the NYPD guys, and I never got that part of it, which I'm sure there's also a lot of a lot of humor that goes back and forth. But yeah, apparently sixty sixteen alarm fire. So it's it's whatever the producer Mike is has got my back here.

He says, the number of alarms generally indicates how many firefighters and vehicles are dispatched, So it's whatever the fire, and now it all makes sense, alright. He thanks, thanks Mike. I had a feeling of something like that, by the way, if it had to be so. I hear this stuff sometimes.

I had a high school classmate, you know, I don't even remember if he ended up doing it, but I thought the guy had his stuff together because we were all sitting around talking about how we were gonna try to go to like grad school or something and become lawyers. My high school is a lawyer factory man. Everyone ended up being a lawyer. And and he's like nice, like I want to be a fireman, and we're all like we kind of looked at him, and you know, I mean, look,

that's that's cool. I mean it's you know, I worked for the police department for a while. But I just it was funny because he wasn't like, I want to be a fireman, and he hadn't thought about it. He's like, the pension system is amazing. I get to work out all day. You get to like have this amazing schedule. You can you can retire, at least in New York. I think you retire the twenty years no matter how old you are when you join, you get all kinds of good O. T He had like we're we were

like sixteen. He had worked this out to the tape. Actually spoke to another friend of mine racially about how he was on a trip in I think it was in Germany and he was at some like Bavarian beer hall there and they're all these guys there and they're all from the same fire department. He's like, he's like wow. He's like, you guys are all here. They're like, yeah, we've got like you know, comp time or something. And therefore, I think the fire department and outside just around San

Francisco great gig for them. Apparently I've gone way off the rails here. I am gonna come back and talk to you about how the dominant, the leftist domination of media is going to come back and come back fiercer

than ever before unless we do something about it. You have the Obama dynasty that I mentioned before is going to be built differently than they were building, the Hillary Clinton one or the Clinton one, I should say, Uh, the Obama dynast is going to be digital, and it's gonna be not through a pseudo charity, but through media, through entertainment. I mentioned yesterday that pundits run the country, and it is true. Obama knows that, and all of his backers, all of his people know that Obama is

actually going to be the main force going forward. I think in the Democrat Party you're going to see that happening more in the next year. But some of his top people are also getting involved in this. I'll explain what I mean and where this is all going, but you have to stay with me through the break because I can't share it all right now, I got so much more to say. Our two coming up. He's holding

the line for America. Buck sex in his back. How is the Left trying to control of the conversation, control the platforms, the outlets. Welcome back to the Buck Sexton Show. Everybody. I like Netflix a lot, not as much of a Hulu guy. I like Netflix. MS Molly likes Hulu. You know, to each his own. I've seen a lot of very good shows on Netflix. I do think House of Cards is wildly overrated. And oh, by the way, we will get into Roseanne which I watched in the third hour

to the show. I've got some additional thoughts on it. I think a little bit. I know, Trump called Roseanne to congratulate her on the huge ratings of the show. I am. I have a bit of a contrarian view of all of this, my friends, which I will share with you in the third hour. I gotta I gotta

keep you, I gotta keep it spicy, you know. But it wasn't an Emerald Bam with the spice, right, that was the And now there's also a spice meme guy who does the thing with his hand and the right the throws the salt salt meat, Salt Salt Bay, Thank you, Salt Bay. Salt Bay is kind of the new uh, kind of the new Emerald Bam, right, I mean it's sort of maybe anyway. Whatever. So Netflix, though, is great, but guess what, It's run by a bunch of liberals.

Guess what else? Facebook run by a bunch of liberals. Google run by a bunch of liberals, and I mean run run and owned by I should say Amazon, and The Washington Post run by a bunch of liberals. Trump called out Amazon earlier today and actually caused the stock to get a little bit of a little bit of

a hit. So there's that. But you'll notice when I'm talking to you about digital media platforms, which are not just changing our day to day to lives, but really the engines of the engines of the economy right now. I mean, there's there's a huge amount of growth that just comes from the stocks that are in these areas. Um, it's all liberals that own them and run them and operate them. This is significant, my friends. Right people say, oh, buck,

we'ren media. We've got Fox News now on the internet, and yeah, but cable is changing and everything is going to go digital and outlot card at some point in the future. I don't know when. Everyone people have been saying this for years. Content will still be important and monetizeable and valuable, right the actual shows that go on TV. But that's changing. How we get the content is changing, and everything is gonna be integrated, as we know, in your computer and your TV and all this all gonna

be treated pretty much the same way. Who controls the access points Liberals, leftists, progressives. They control Netflix, Hulu, Comcast, Google, YouTube, Facebook, go down the list, Instagram. I know some of these own other ones, but what do we have on our side? And I would be okay even with with a truly neutral social media BMF. I'd be okay with a truly neutral digital media. But it doesn't exist, and somehow they've all skewed left again. This We've been kind of asleep

at the wheel on this one. I'm just gonna be honest with you, folks. I've been telling you for a while, this is happening. There's no way that you have Mark Zuckerberg in some ways the most powerful CEO on the planet, who is clearly a man of the left, and that doesn't affect what goes on at Facebook. It's just not just not reality. Now you're starting to see what the next what the next version? The two point? Oh sorry, all this is going to be. Obama is getting shows

via Netflix. They're not sure if he's going to be on one, maybe you know, do sort of a political talk show. Obama then becomes somebody who's in a position to direct the national conversation in a similar way to Ellen and Oprah and Seacrest. I mean, these people who have enormous followings on TV. But Obama was a politician, right and now he might might have that role. He also will be beyond this scenes producer on these things, executive producer role and credit or maybe just credit. Who

knows Susan Rice one of his top advisors. You remember Susan Rice, right, I mean, she does have some experience in the in the video space. Based on the best information we have to date, what our assessment is as of the present is, in fact, what it began spontaneously in Benghazi as a reaction to what it transpired some hours earlier in Cairo, where, of course, as you know, uh, there was a violent protest outside of our embassy sparked

by this hateful video. So she's got some video experience talking about the video that did not in fact cause Benghazi and that was a terrorist attack. But so there's that. But she's gonna be on the board at Netflix. Give me on the board voting on strategic decisions that affect

Netflix's future. I can assure you there are other top Obama people that are already on boards that you're not even thinking of right now, that are determining policy at places like Facebook, Netflix and others, determining what gets made. You know, there's another thing out there that no one really spends much time and attention, and I've talked to some I actually talked to a tech blogger about it on her podcast maybe six months ago. People think that

social media is like this even playing field. You know, however, many followers you have on Facebook or Twitter or whatever, it's just based on whatever people buy them. That's something that never really gets talked to you. You can buy followers, real and fake. And Facebook has been encouraging the buying of followers in a sense by demanding that more and more people pay for h their posts to be seen by people, because really what you want is people to

see your stuff and then follow you. But also, we don't know what's going to these algorithms. It's not even just it's it's iTunes as well, it's Apple. Do we do we know how they're how do they pick the top podcast to show you to see who else gets who else is going to get following followers on a podcast. It's an algorithm. It's not just based on sheer download numbers.

I mean, I can tell you this show, which is a radio show but we also have a podcast of it, does orders of magnitude more downloads a month than some of the shows that will appear on the top one of iTunes. But they say, well, but it's real, it's it's a rebroadcast. It's different, and you know it's it's about the downloads versus the number of shows, and they've

got some. It's not just like the most wins. You know, you don't even see this with the you know, the New York Times and playing this game with their best seller list of books for a long time. They got a formula. It's not just who sells the most books. There's a formula. There's an algorithm. That's just a fancy way of saying that there are ways to cheat and to steer the conversation, and there are ways for the

left to win. This is the most important we we know we kind of won the battle against the old media bias establishment and that at least now it's you know, any one from CNN, for example, who's like our journalists down the middle. I mean, it's laughable, right, it's preposterous,

it's silly, it's foolish. But we're gonna have to fight that battle again now with Facebook and Twitter and all these other entities, because I am telling you they are even more left skewing than we can realize right now. A lot of it is happening on the back end. We don't have the data. The people that make the decisions are leftists. They are leftists and they are evangelists as well. Silicon Valley is hyper progressive, not a little

bit progressive, hyper progressive. You know, who do you think is calling the shots at the at the state level in California for some of these crazy policies. Who puts it in the ear of some of these politicians to do these They have these ruinous, ruinous regulations for the environment for whatever Silicon Valley. So keep an eye on this. Obamas who's in rise, There'll be others as well. Oh,

Chelsea Clinton in. They gotta they gotta let the Clinton stench kind of waffed away a little bit after the loss. But Chelsea Clinton is gonna be put on the boards and some of these major things, so they're gonna build her back up to This is the next big fight

for US Conservatives. Sponsor this half hour is ZIP recruiter. Uh.

In the last few months, Uh, it really has changed, not from Congress, but from these internal political appointees that we're trying to politicize VA and trying to make sure that our progress stopped, and it's been a very difficult environment. It's been um one where we've been distracted from our mission.

I was not against reformed pensation, and I think that it was really the political pointees that we're trying to undermine our efforts at v A. There you have the recently ousted as in yesterday, we got to announce it on air. That's one of our specialties here. We get to tell you first about the folks who have been booted from the administration, because they usually do it late in the day, right, you don't get fired at nine am.

You get fired, you know, five pm. And then we come all right afterwards to be like, hey, guess who got fired today? Sholkin? That's who? Or that was yesterday. So he's out. But people are starting to ask questions about why and what and who and how and all that stuff. A few things here. First of all, I believe unless I'm mistaken, and we know usually when I say that, I am not um but I believe Sholkin at one point was at a pointee of the Obama administration.

I could be wrong, but I think that that's the case. Well, this does raise, though, uh is that it seems to Oh, yeah, the only holdover from the That's what I thought, the only holdover from the Obama administration. See, what you're seeing is that the deep state is a real thing, and the deep state is not just about the FBI, the bureaucracy for reasons that I can explain to you because I was there. Unlike a lot of the other folks you'll listen to on radio or even see on TV,

I was not at the appointee level. It wasn't all fancy. I didn't have a private car driving me around with a bunch of staff and everything else. That sounds nice, But if you're just gonna be one of those little cubical farmers like I was, you get a sense of what the politics of the rank and file and the federal bureaucracy is. And then when you see at the top people that have been bureaucrats for a long period of time, you are not surprised in the least that

they are leftists. They are statists. They believe very much in the government. People asking Buck, why did you leave the CIA. I think CIA has a great mission. I think there are some incredible people who work there, But honestly, it's a large federal bureaucracy, and that's just not my jam. That's just not what I want to be doing with all my time. I did it for a while, I served,

I got out. You know, is it? Some people love the structure, others hate the bureaucracy, meaning all the extraneous, foolish, silly stuff you deal with. But when you look at who is more likely to think that that kind of bureaucracy is a good thing or that that they'll take to it, of course it's democrats. The people who think the government should fix all problems are going to often be the people who really really want to spend their whole lives working in the government. Becauesn't you know? It

makes perfect sense. But at the very senior level as well. You see this with some of the Obama holdovers, right, You see this with people who were appointed. Comey was an Obama holdover, Shulkin was an Obama holdover. And the moment that they're out of office, the mask drops and we see that they are, in fact, uh left of center. They're gonna talk smack about the current president, about the current administration ation, and it's just it's not it's not

a surprise to me at all. We see this time again. By the way, Comey who as you know, I've really I've got to be in my bonnet about Comey because I hate power mad prosecutors. I mean, there's nothing worse in the government than a prosecutor who is unethical. It's the single most uh frightening thing for your everyday citizen in terms of dealing with your government. Quite honestly, as a power mad prosecutor. Nobody else can ruin your life as fast as a prosecutor who decides that it's in

his interest to do so. And Comey is such an opportunist. I mean, now he's out on this book tour. You know, remember when he was the guy that was that was the reason that Hillary lost. Oh that's right. Now he's the guy who's on a book tour and getting all this love, including a huge advance from the left because he's gonna be the one who they think is part

of bringing Trump down. So you have a guy who was blamed for Hillary's loss at one point now selling books and going on a book tour where he's going to be beloved and feted by that's fetted in the French way, not f E T I D from a wordsmith's out there word play. But he's going to be celebrated by Democrats because they think that he still has a shot to bring down the Trump administration. It's kind of crazy when you think about it, but that's comy.

Back to Schulkin, he's saying that there were Oh and he's a hero temporarily. Oh what a surprise political here writing no longer muzzled, Schulkin takes on Trump's White House. The fired Veterans Affairs secretary claims he was politically knifed. It should not be this hard to serve your country. Uh, you know the notion that the v A, that that privatizing parts of the v A is somehow going to

ruin it. You look at all the other places where you have privatization, and you have greater efficient see, better services, better technology just because of the way that systems and and the way that life works. But there's a big political backdrop to all the stuff with the VA, and that is if the v A got privatized, something that's very important to Wallace, how are our veterans being taken care of? Is the sacred obligation we have to our

veterans by the citizenry being met. If in fact, we saw that privatization made it more, made that promise, uh fulfilled. Think about what that would mean for the general healthcare debate. Think about the talking point. And I don't mean that in a in a bad way, but the data point there you go. It's all about the words. The data point. It would give two Republicans and conservatives for why don't we do more of this privatization stuff? How is privatization

a dirty word? Show me the country that over privatized itself and has gone down the tubes. I mean, I'm not familiar with I know a lot of places that let the government run things, and it is you know Dante's eighth Circle of Hell, Venezuela for example, Zimbabwe. I mean, we can go down the list of countries that are barely even countries anymore after the mismanagement that has occurred that, by the way, countries that should not be poor. Right, It's one thing to say Yemen is really poor and

as in as a country that's in crappy shape. Is it's running out of water in the middle of the civil war and it's a desperate situation. Uh. But you know, Yemen doesn't have a whole lot in the way of natural resources at all. Venezuela Zimbabwe actually do have a lot of natural resources, but they're very, very poorly run.

But privatization doesn't ruin countries. Government can ruin countries, and the v A becomes this political football because oh, if we privatized it and at worked even a little bit, I mean, we privatize it in state ages and phases, which is the only way you be able to do it, then it would have implications for all the rest of

the discussions. And this is how everything is political because once you start to look at things as a left versus right paradigm all the time, it's scary because you realize the left can justify anything under the auspices of, well, we don't want to give the other side a win. And that's how you get the Nancy Pelosi syndrome of like, well, you know, do we really even think that we should like the tax cut? It's just crumbs. She just want

to give the other side of win. By the way, real quick, this was on out Numbered, one of my favorite shows. As you know, look, I mean the question is if I praised the way that Donald Trump looks in the way is healthy? Do I get to run a massive department? I mean we're talking about well, that's well,

that's very true. Thank goodness, Thank goodness. I think that was Kennedy and Harris there doctors Zach pet Cannis being like, yeah, man, you are neither a rear admiral nor nor a physician, so it would be particularly weird if they made you the v A secretary. I thought, that's kind of a funny moment from earlier today. We got him, Um, that guy seems to be a pretty good sport actually about going going into a territory that's not always friendly to

his political beliefs. So we're gonna talk to you in just a couple of minutes here about the left boycotting and its seeming to work. And uh, I got a whole lot more. Oh and Hillary speeches. Where are those fees? Who wants to take a guess our Hillary speech fees going up? We're going down? Are they going down a

little bit or are they going down a lot? We will discuss all of that a much more eight four to five eight four four buck if you would like to chat about any of this and more and also, don't forget download the podcast The Buck Sexton Show on iTunes. Please subscribe as well, and we'll be right back. Sometimes you may stop and think to your off, well, hold on a second, is the media really as biased as we as we think they are, as as we talk

about in the Freedom ond? Is it really that bad some of your laughing, you're like buckets worse, which may in fact be true. But if you're looking for a great anecdote, you know, a a story that will tell the tale, which I guess is another way of saying a story that will tell the story. Come on, Buck, vocab, I got I gotta get back to basics here. One of you pointed out and thank you for it that I said o leaguanist on the air, because I read much more than I hear many of these words. So

I'm I'm actually a bit of an autodidact. I'm not even sure I'm pronouncing that one correctly, but I read that one somewhere too. A lot of what I talked about on the air is self taught, but it is holy aginous for those who are wondering a great word. By the way, it means kind of you know, Oily using similar ish to uh, which is not a word,

to unctious, which is another great word. You know, the guy who shows up at your at your family dinner that's not really relative, and all of a sudden he's like, I got a great investment for you. You You know, he's like, hey, why don't you give me some of your cash? And you can say that guy's unctious. You know you're your uncle Bob who wants to get you into that used car. Hey, I you know this one, This one speaks to you. The vet gets it done. You guys are remember true lives.

That guy's that guy is anxious. May he rest in peace. I just realized Bill Packiston passed away. He was young too. He was a great actor. I love Bill Paxson's work. I do, I'm not kidding, celebrate his whole catalog. But away from words for a second here, So we have only agenius anxious, what are something the other? But I've said maelstrom a few times in the show recently, which you all have pointed out. We gotta do a favorite

buck words. Um. I tried to. You know, I try to stay away from profound as well, because if what you say is profound, you shouldn't have to say it. You know. It's like real gangsters don't talk much because they don't have to. It's like, if you're what you're saying is profound, then you're good to go. And you know, anyway, Hillary, let's talk about Hillary and how this and how the

media ties into all this. So I was over. It was great for background to be at CNN in the year of an election, especially an election where so many people there meeting the different journalists and producers were reminiscing fondly about the Clinton years and the Clinton white House and they had great access and they loved it, and and they were tied and tight with the Obama white House as well, and they were so happy about the prospect of eight years of Hillary. It was it was

a near you for Elphoria. That's how Hillary says it. It was going to be a kind of nirvana for them. And so there were no there was no compunction whatsoever. They had no problem doing whatever they had to do to tell the stories the way that they would benefit Hillary. Right, whatever would benefit Hillary, that was what they were going to try to do. And one of the things that I kept bringing up, especially and I would bring up Bernie Sanders, I'd be like, I mean, Bernie's the real deal.

Bernie's the the legit, the legit character. You know, he's the one who wants to actually just just socialize it, baby, socialize it. And I would say, you know, Hillary and Bill are worth over a hundred million dollars. They have created no product and do not run a four A for profit company. They run a charity and they give speeches on the side. But they also are political figures, as we know, the greatest political dynasty in the country

until her last loss. I think you'd have to say, certainly ahead of the Kennedy's in the Democrat line of succession and Obama, well, the Obamas will see they may they may become the great political dynasty of the Democrat Party of the next you know, twenty years. But in the meantime it was all about the Clintons. And yet the Clintons made all this money. And I would have journalists that would seem like smart people look at me

like that's that's not strange. I'd say, you know, I'm I'm familiar with the speaking circuit, and I know what famous people get paid to speak. You know, for me, you know if you if you said, if you invite me to a nice enough place and you seem like nice people, and you'll make me a plate of homemade, warm, gluten free chocolate chip cookies, there's like a decent shot that I will show up, you know. But some of

my more famous friends, you know, they'll show up. They'll give a speech for thirty fifty maybe a hundred thousand dollars if you're really if you're really pretty famous. Bill Clinton was getting speeches for six seven, eight hundred grand. That just doesn't happen, Just doesn't happen. Hillary Clinton, Hello, she was getting speech fees of two hundred and fifty

three hundred thousand dollars. Just doesn't really doesn't really happen unless you're not paying for the speech, you are buying influence. And this I was Those of you who are OSS have been with me for a few years now. Now I've been hitting this one hard because this was a real litmus test, and given the current meeting, I I mean, we're all the oh, all of you Christians are explaining away all of Trump's behavior. You know, there's a lot of media looking down their nose at the rest of us.

You know from the from the heights of Mount Olympus, staring down at US mortals and acting like they they have some right to dare I say, right to judge? And when you look at what they did for what they did on this specific issue of Hillary's wealth creation, and how obvious it was that this was a scheme for peddling influence, how obvious the speech fees were. Well, this is gonna tie into a current of current news.

Don't worry. I'm not just Hillary bashing for the fun of it, although that's fun too, um and and I would say to them, you really believe, and they well, that's what the market will bear. And I think I might have even said on air at scene end to someone, I definitely said it all fair. I probably should have

said it on air. Well, if you know, I'm a politician and someone wants to give me a paper bag for with a million dollars in it, that's what the market will bear if I'm gonna pass favorable legislation for their business. But it's also called bribery and you go to prison for a long time for it. But for Hillary, oh no, I'm just giving her a lot of money because I need to hear her speak so badly. It's a busy Actually just almost passed out doing Hillary there. Ah,

it's a man, gosh, a kid. I would have ruin my voice. I have to go to I have to go to Indiana this weekend to find people of Indiana deserve my voice as is. I'm not going to destroy it right now anyway. So Hillary gave these speeches, and I would always say to them, you know, guys, can can we come back here? And they didn't like my thing about the brown paper bag of money under the desk, but we all know that that's the same idea. I'd say,

can we come back and and revisit this issue. This is when I was thinking I might still hang out at the n some more, but I got sick of the whole situation over there. If we come back and look at what her speaking fees are once she's no longer going to be president. Who wants to guess what Hillary is getting paid for at Rutger's where she's giving a speech? Uh today today she just gave a speech today,

twenty five thousand dollars. Does twenty five thousand dollars sound like two hundred and fifty thousand dollars to you, does twenty five thousand dollars sound like eight hundred thousand dollars because those are the kind of speaking fees that Hillary and Billy used to get in the past. I mean, eight hundred thousand dollars you can get like a nice sweet and a whole bunch of ladies in Vegas. You know, I mean just voters, registered voters. What do you think

I'm talking about. Don't be shady. Uh. That was what they used to get Clinton Foundation donations falling off a cliff and I would I said this during the election. I said, you know, if she loses, and they were also smugs, she's never gonna lose. Buck You're such You're so ridiculous, you and your trumpster fire. Uh you know, I said, well, well, let's just assume if she loses.

We're gonna see if I'm right and you're wrong. And if you go back and listen to shows that I was doing during the campaign, it said, trust me, as soon as the as soon as the gravy train of government largesse stops, Hillary's fair market value as a speaker is going to be a whole lot less, a whole lot less than it was beforehand, And doesn't that tell us something about what was really going on? Doesn't tell us something that the Clinton Foundation is getting a whole

lot less foreign money all of a sudden. What they don't care about empowering women and and teaching school children and you know, stopping malaria or whatever stuff. Actually Clinton Foundation was really about women's empowerment stuff. Um, I'm trying to climate change of course, and there was one other thing that comes, you know, something with school something with women, and something with climate change, very amorphous things that you

really can't measure, you know. And the Clinton Foundation was largely at pass through for other charitable foundations, So the Clintons were effectively acting as middlemen taking their cut of money that was supposed to be going two you know, underprivileged children in Africa, in Bangladesh and wherever. Right, That's

that was the real role of the Clinton Foundation. But I just want to know back to my initial premise here, now that we can see that Hillary is worth a whole lot less on the speaking circuit, is it because she's not Did she get bad at speaking all of a sudden, or were people paying her a lot of money to buy her favor? Maybe have future influence in her administration. Does any serious person really want to take the other side of this argument? You know, I know

that say, oh, Park, you know she's not the president. Yeah, but now we have now the evidence is in. You know, now we actually have the numbers. Clinton Foundation money dropped off a cliff. Hillary speaking fees dropped off a cliff. Why oh, that's right, Because it wasn't what the market would bear. It was corruption. It was buying politicians in the open, to the tune of over a hundred million dollars.

That's what was going on. And our so called journalist class are our our media of top watchdogs of power. Not only it's not even that they didn't cover it enough or whatever they excused it. They came up with ways of saying, you know, this is just not not that big a deal. It's nothing, It's fine. Everybody does it. Hillary is amazing, She's gonna break the glass ceiling, all of that. Well, I like to just take a little visit into truth land, go into reality town, have a

look around and talk to some of the folks. And that's what we're doing right now. The numbers don't lie. Hillary, she was doing speeches at universities. I think it was like U N l V or something in the last year, two of two grand not just taking even though she's rich. You know, she can't turn off. She is a grasping and deeply greedy human being, and they wanted to make her president because she would have been so much better.

They say, yeah, right, all right, I'll be back with more in including why the left does what they do when it comes to overreacting to statements and trying to get boycott's going. I'm gonna leave that a little bit. I'm gonna leave that out there for right now. So you're like, Buck, what's going on? What If you want to know what's going on, you have to listen through the break and then I will tell you. But trying to threatening boycotts, why do they do it? How do

they do it? And what does it mean for all of us? I'll get into that a much more coming up here in just a few The threat of boycotts and an apology from a conservative commentator. It's a script that plays out time and again, and we just saw

it happen now with Laura Ingram. I think Ingraham, actually I need to make sure I say the name properly over at Fox News and David Hagg who I would note is running around saying all kinds of really outrageous and unfair things, and he is in fact smearing people on a regular basis, like Mark A. Rubio and my friend Dana Lash. But he is he has a an invincibility. You know, he's like Frodo with the special armor that can't be pierced from the elves. You know what I'm

talking about it right, myth Thrill. I think it's called I Love the Lord of the Rings? Am I right with that? Am I off on that? You guys are really both giving me the no, you don't know anyway, So Frodo, you know, he gets stabbed by the big olger, He's got the magic thing on his chest. He doesn't die. It's good stuff for Frodo. Point here is that it makes him invincible to an extent. And Hog because he suffered a a trauma. Um is also what's it called

John myth thrill shirt? Yeah, that's what I said. Looks amazing. So anyway, he he was giving an interview. I'll just go over this pretty quickly. It's not really that important giving an interview and he said, you know that he he didn't get into some of the schools he applied to. Now, which, trust me, my friend, we can all sympathize the way

that he said. It's somewhat interpreted as he wasn't getting in because of his activism maybe, And I think that struck some people as a a very strange way to take it. What overwhelmingly, I mean, ask any admissions director in any top school in the country, left wing political activism is like, there's it's the Holy grill. I mean, that's probably the best thing you could possibly do. So it seems strange that he might have been complaining about it.

And then uh, Laura Laura Ingraham tweeted out the following David. Now, she wasn't the first to write this either. It was posted I think on TMZ and she wrote, David Hogg rejected by four colleges to which he applied and wines about it. Now, you know what, I go there, No, because I think that Hogg can say I'll say that he's saying dumb things, that he's being immature because he's

a kid, so it's not surprising he's being irresponsible. Uh, he doesn't strike me as knowledgeable at all in these issues. I actually he is quite ignorant, but he's made himself a part of a national public conversation. But know I don't make fun of his appearance. I don't, And if I ever do, I you know I would apologize for it afterwards. If I ever got heated and said something that you know I had crossed the line, I haven't. I'm just saying, uh, but I operate within a certain coat.

Is making a kind of a little bit of a snippy comment about him whining such a big deal. No, it doesn't strike me such a big deal. I wouldn't do it. But then again, if people ask me, well, what do you think about what Trump said here? A lot of the time, I'm like, I mean, I'm not saying it's terrible, but it's not all. I would roll

a little lower ingram. I have a really tough top time or last time, And I always want to tell the story about the U. S. S Ingram, one of the great stories told by Ronald Reagan a long time ago in a speech. Well, I'll have to save that one for another time. Cliffhanger for everybody, I'll save that for another time. I've told it before on the show. If some of you write me and said we want to know about the U S. S Ingram and the Mediterranean, I will tell you this story, but you have to

write me on Facebook and request it. It would be like a request of the DJ. That means, I guess I'm the DJ. So Laura wrote Winds that that David Hogg was whining about it, and the response to this, this is from CNBC. Advertisers including trip Advisor, Nestley and Wayfair are dumping Laura Ingraham after she slammed Parkland survivor. I mean, you had big advertisers that were jumping ship

based on that. And this is why the left is so fond of using victims to advance political arguments, because the moment somebody doesn't even necessarily go over the line and responding them just just gets close enough for the line, they go into boycott mode. And that was exactly what hog did. By the way, he specifically uh tweeted out, you know, if you pick a number one to twelve, contact the company next to that number, And they were

all of Laura Ingraham's top advertigers. By the way, do you think somebody helped helped him find those I'm guessing he had a little help and when after all of her top advertisers because she said that he was whining about college h college rejections. So I guess what we take from this is that David Hogg, now if you if you criticize him in a way that's not purely political,

you can have your livelihood attacked and tarnished. Now, to Laura's credit, she she did apologize, and I think she wrote out the following, any students should be proud of a four point to g p A, including David Hogg on reflection in the spirit of Holy Week, I apologize for an upset or hurt my tweet cause him or any of the brave victims of Parkland. And you know, there you have it. So she apologized. But this is, by the way, this is the response when she didn't

even say anything bad. Can you imagine the first person who really steps out of line, they're gonna go after him with everything that they've got. And that's why they like to use victims. It's a form of seeding the debate with with land mines for conservatives, and that's what ends up happening. So the left loves to boycott don't ever forget it. That's why your supportive sponsors on this show and others. Uh so absolutely essential. We're gonna roll to a break, we come back. Oh, I've got more

on Roseanne. I watched it, folks, I watched it. We'll talk about it. We'll strap in and prepare for some grumpy pop culture analysis from yours. Truly. Occasionally, in this job, it's part of my job to watch what the folks are watching in the world of pop culture, not news. I watched news all the time. Occasionally, though, I have a real excuse to flip on one of the network channels, and the reboot of Roseanne, which I mentioned to you yesterday,

is one of those opportunities. So I watched the first two episodes of this reboot, and I have to tell you there's a lot more going on then you'd gather just from the press releases. I have to tell you I didn't think it was very funny, but that doesn't matter. We can agree or disagree on that. That's completely a

function of taste. And I would also stand behind everything I said yesterday about how if it were really the profit motive that was driving much of the decision making about scripted TV shows what Hollywood and the entertainment industry chooses to make. There's this enormous market called half of America that is underserved in terms of content, and sure enough,

Roseanne comes out. It depicts a working class family and there's a Trump supporter at the center of it, all Roseanne herself, and we are to believe, Oh wow, they have broken with their usual tendency here and we got a show where there's a Trump person at the center of it, and there's gonna be attention now paid to

that part of rough a half the country. I watched the episodes though, and I gotta tell you it's basically liberals creating a narrative where Rosanne, you know, the the red State family, or whatever you want to call it, the working class white family. There you go, that's a

better way to say it. The white working class family is constantly, uh, having to challenge and change its assumptions about day to day life because of, oh, you guessed it, the various progressive social issues that are at the center

of the show. Yeah, there's some arguing back and forth between an ardent Hillary supporter wearing the Nasty Woman T shirt and hat that begins with a p I I saw all that, But the central theme of the first two episodes, or the central challenge, is how the how Roseanne's household is going to deal with the fact that they've got a nine year old who's a boy who's dressing like a girl, and that's how And it's all built around that. And there's some other progressive things thrown

in there too. You've got a woman who's in her forties who's going to be a surrogate, and you know, the the old character played by John Goodman, you know, the patriarch of the family. He's all opposed to it. But I just look at all this and think to myself, are we really supposed to believe that this is this is the day to day of working class white family in Ohio, and this is the day to day of a working class white family in Wisconsin. No, of course not.

It's it seems quite strange to me to build one of the central challenges of this family, at least in the first I know, it's only the first couple of episodes. I get that, but to launch right out of the gate with, well, what do we do about our cross dressing nine year old and wouldn't it be nice if there could be a family that had let's just say, one Republican parent in it, and the representation of them

was quite a bit different from this. I know people are nostalgic for Roseanne and the show and how it dealt with American society in a kind of unvarnished way at the time. I'll also say that this show looks anachronistic. The home that they're in. That's not what working class homes really look like today. It's what they look like twenty years ago. So I think that's a bit strange.

I mean, in terms of the interior and everything. It looks like they just literally turned on a show that they had had a set from twenty years ago and it didn't change anything, which is strange to me. Now, all they're doing, from what I can see, is adding into it these of challenges. But is this really what what concerns Middle America? To bring back a term you don't hear very much anymore. What do I do if my nine year old son starts dressing like a girl

because he wants to be fashionable in school. I'm not a parent yet, but I would tell my nine year old son that that was not what he was going to do. That I'm a parent and that I know best, and this is not going to be some childhood assault

on the patriarchy. Even more than that, though, I would just like to see a depiction of someone who's clearly conservative on TV and not have it centered around how they become more accepting of progressive social issues, of social justice issues, and that's the character's growth I can already see on this show. One of the ways this is all going to be structured is well, you know Roseanne, you know, she's she's come over to the side of of greater tolerance. You know the dad, he's he's going

to embrace diversity more and all this. I just sit there watching this and thinking to myself, where's the show on TV where a conservative family is elevated. Where's the show on TV where you see a white working class family that goes to church and people. Yeah, they can still be funny, it could be a comedy. But they're attractive as people. I don't mean just physically, but they're

attractive people. You know, they've got their lives together. We all have our challenges, and there's plenty of humor and day to day life. But I can't think of that show. The only thing that comes close would be Friday Night Lights for me, which is a show that I really loved.

But Friday Night Lights is really a show about two East Coast liberals living in West Texas, too incredibly appealing good looking parents who really were pulled out of like Darien, Connecticut and plopped in West Texas and have a little bit of a Southern accent so they can fit in more. And that's the way that that show is constructed. Everyone around them seems much more authentic than the parents, who

are the centerpiece of the whole show up here. But in Roseanne, I think that we are being look I I don't mean to over politicize this, but it's clearly a show that's gotten a lot of attention, eighteen million viewers, it's already a topic of major political discussion. I think we're being propagandized to just in a slick way, and it's to show the aging conservative boomer generation in particular. You know, you'll understand more about this transgender stuff in time.

Just just accept it. Remember, acceptance comes first, well, rather first, it's tolerance than acceptance, then celebration and then totalitarianism. So sometimes that last step takes a while, but I am a little distressed. This is the This is the best we can do for a show about a family that has Trump supporting parents. I believe the dad voted for Trump. I'm surmising that, but clearly Roseanne explicitly says she did.

This is the best we can do the family. I know the family is supposed to be dysfunctional, it's supposed to have the problems of day to day life. Fine, but why isn't the focus on that instead of right off the bat Automatically the challenge is plucked from the top of the list of progressive social agenda items, which

is transgender kids. We've got a show now on TV with eighteen million people watching it that's supposed to represent just normal Middle America in some way, and they're dealing with a transgender nine year old or across a kid who's, you know, changing his clothes to look like a woman, and though he says he knows he's a boy. Whatever.

The point is gender identity issues as a nine year old, which is, let's understand, actually quite rare, and the way that it is constructed in the show, they're not going to make this kid start dressing the way that he should for his gender. The parents are gonna have to

become more tolerant of it. So what you're gonna see is the right in this context loses right, the the Trump, the grumpy Trump conservative who sure, we'll have some funny one liners here and there and occasionally will speak in a salty salty tones about day to day life and shed some some truth on a situation. But it is going to become more accepting and more progressive over the course of the show. I can just tell, why does

it always have to be this way, folks? Why why do we I think at this point we just are numbed how much propaganda that there really is in this. Don't think for a second it's not political. Control of the culture is the most important thing that any political group could ever achieve, because if you can convince people about what is reality in their day to day lives, getting the devote for your candidate, that's easy. So I'm I'm not a fan of the Rosanne reboot. I think

you've gotten that from I talk so far. I don't I don't like it. I you know, when I think of a Trump supporting family. You can make a show about, you know, how about a show about a really you know all American dad who loves to barbecue and likes to you know, work on his car and a mom who's like a great mom and stay at home mom. Used to have a career maybe but decided, you know what,

third wave feminism doesn't have to determine my life. And have kids that you know, like sports and football and like to go out and you know, maybe do some shooting, go do some hunting on the weekends. And you know, they go to church and they're funny and they make jokes and they have the problems that we all have in life. But they're not you see. My My big problem with Roseanne is I feel like there's a little bit of laughing at this family instead of laughing with

this family. Sometimes it's subtle. I'm not saying it's that's the case in every joke all the time, but that you have this character who now and I did not watch the long run the show in the past, I'm coming into this now just on the reboot side, but to have this character who clearly is going to be transforming over the course of the show into someone more palatable, more acceptable to liberals. Is just another form of getting

people to agree, agree with the left. And I always tell people, if you want to, if you want to look at the most effective the most effective campaign for UH, for same sex marriage that I've ever seen is the couple that is in Modern Family, one of the most beloved and well watched shows on television. UH. The same sex couple, the gay couple that's married and adopts a little girl on the show. That's the most effective messaging for same sex marriage I've ever seen. And it's on

a It's on a sitcom. Don't underestimate the power of these things. Don't underestimate the fact that the people that are making these choices know that the choices will have impact down the line. This isn't just about entertainment. There's more, there's more at stake, and there's more intended. All right, I'll have more on this as we go. I'll be right back. I hope every Democrat will be asked, is it a good idea to repeal the Second Amendment? Because

I want every Democrat to answer that question. This is a very bad idea. I'm glad he's retired his right to his opinion like every other American. But I'm up here to take the Second Amendment, not repeal it. And I can't wait to hear what Nancy Pelosi says and every other liberal Democrats see if they will stand with Justice Stevens or they'll stand with the Constitution. I'm dying to know. So I'm in a generous mood today, I guess because I'm here to tell you that I think

Lindsey Graham is spot on. You know, they want it, then they should get it. They want to talk about repealing the Second Amendment, Let's talk about a gun band. You know, this is one of the things that Democrats do so much better than Republicans, including in the media. They have a lot more megaphones, a lot more platforms to do it. So maybe that's what it's all about. But just just keep on hammering home very blunenforced trauma kind of questions. You know, do you want to ban guns?

Do you want to ban assault rifles? Do you want to repeal the Second Amendment? Forget about and don't allow them to go Well, you know, maybe if we could think about take a vote, you know, no, do you want that or not? Get them on the record. They don't want to be on the record for the most part,

because they want to have it both ways. They want to praise the Parkland kids that are out there stumping for the Democrat Party and and just on the absolute attack against all kinds of Republicans, but they don't want to be necessarily necessarily affiliated with a specific position. They should all be asked, do you want to ban guns? If if you want to end gun violence. We want to talk about how great the Parkland organization of these

kids has been so far. You know, and I say these kids, and I'm talking about all the kids, just the few that are now celebrities. They've become celebrities. They don't know very much. They say really inflammatory and stupid things, but particularly the hog kid. But why not just ask every Democrat? I mean, I do want to hear what Nancy Pelosi's answered the question is, and you know what

they'll try to do. Some of them will go, you know Pelosi is responsive would be something like man had thing and and sportsmen and no. But let them say that, let them make fools of themselves on this. I've been saying all along, and I love it when people get really angry at me when Democrats get into this. But the truth is that it's really about not liking gun owners and all that they stand for. That's what all this animus is about. How is Trump so tied in

with guns? Think about that for just a part of just a part of this little discussion we're having here. Why is why is opposition to Trump at these marches so on display. We've had guns in private hands well for the entirety of this country's history. But Trump hasn't loosened any gun restrictions. Trump hasn't done anything to expand

access to firearms. No. Actually, on the contrary, there may be more legislation at least at the state level that gets by under the Trump administration then there was under the Obama administration. So what is what the hatred of Trump as a where tied into all the stuff about gun control? And it's just because, as I've said, antipathy toward gun violence is really just a cover for antipathy or disdain or hatred not liking people who own guns. It's it's the other Guns are another rising force now

in American society. And you can tell you know this from your own life. Ask somebody that you know, if they're a gun owner, and never mind just their answer, their response to it will tell you overwhelmingly who they voted for. Are they pro life or pro choice? Are they Christians who go to church on Sunday? You know, you start to break down the numbers on this, and you'll see there is obviously obviously a a close correlation between conservatism in the Second Amendment. And so that's what

really motivates much of this. It's taking the moral high ground, supposedly taking the moral high ground and being able to call the n r A and anybody who supports them. And oh, by the way, n r A donations the month this just came out today, I think the month after Parkland, RA donations were up three. I think it was so clearly this is not going to have the effect that many on the left think that it will.

You know, n r A donations went up dramatically. Oh, and the Second Amendment is not going away anytime soon. But I Lizzy Graham's right. I've started here on the show to make him answer the question, make them answer the question, and then ask them if they like Roseanne and what they think about that, because you can make all kinds of make all kinds of conclusions from that right, come to conclusions based on whether one supports Roseanne or

not as a reboot. And then if you really want to know something, ask them if they think J. J. Abrams is over rated, because the only proper answer that question is yes. Anything other than that, Yeah, you can give me the evil eye in the other room, that's fine. Anything other than that unacceptable. J. J Abrams is them. So J. J Abrams is the Bruce Springsteen of scripted television. Bam, take that one to the bank. Quick break here, I'll

be back with more. Stay with me. So this is a follow up to a story yesterday I was not expecting to do, but I have to. I suppose remember when I told you about that Planned parenthood that tweeted out that we need a Disney princess who has, among other things, had an abortion. And I thought, while there's really nothing that the left is unwilling to politicize, pollute, and destroy, we can't even all just be okay with Disneys Disney princesses anymore. Oh, we have to make that

an issue. And I know there's already political correctness concerns around them, but you have planned parenthood from an official account, which it deleted, but saying we need a Disney princesses had an abortion, as though that's a positive message for young girls and for all people. Quite honestly, I've seen lots of Disney movies. I think Disney movies are generally pretty great. I thought that was the end of the story.

I got a little more context for it, though, and that is that there are memes going around that we need a Disney princess that and people fill in all the different blanks. We need a Disney princess that you know, destroys the patriarchy or whatever, and planned parent who had said we need one that's had an abortion. I didn't think there'd be much more to talk about here, but

sure enough. Jezebel, which is a I believe a radical feminist publication, but it used to be owned by or maybe still is owned by and and is affiliated with the same group as Gawker. Gawker dot com, which was a disgusting cesspool of a website that operated for years and was just profiting off of human misery and character assassination. And Gawker was one of the one of the worst things on the web. But Jezebel, I think is from the same group that owned Gawker. Anyway, Jezebel wrote this piece.

This was just this just went up yesterday. I can't even parody how crazy the left really is because they always outdo whatever I think the outer limits of their insanity might be. And on Jezebel they had the following

piece on their website. Statistically, at least two Disney princesses have had abortions, and then this author proceeds to go into an analysis of how Disney princesses, which include Bell Rapunzel, Aerial, Tiana snow White, Darella, Aurora, Marita, Pocahonas, Jasmine, and Milan, more than two of them, at least two of them, according to this analysis, have had an abortion, to which I just immediately have to say, how stupid can a person be who is paid to write about things if

we're really going to talk about this for a moment. First of all, statistics don't work that way, right. It would be like saying, well, you know, everyone has one point seven children in this country, so that's that's one.

And also, statistically, all of the Disney princesses that I mentioned there, if we're going to, uh, if we're going to really look at this for a moment, are from periods that were before the era of the modern abortion movement, so they most certainly, I can guarantee you that none of the Disney princess is have had an abortion. Um. Also, I believe some of them are mere teenagers based on the storylines. So why am I following up in this.

I thought that yesterday it would be settled that Planned Parenthood, which is a grotesque organization, deleted the tweet. They realized that a Disney princess had had an abortion, they would leave it there, but the left wanted to double down on it. And so that's how we have a piece about how statistically at least two Disney princess as they say, have had abortions. The effort to glorify abortion as something to be proud of is one of the most odious.

In fact, I you could put it up there in the same category of odiousness as anything else in modern politics. It's as as wrong and gross and evil as any other mainstream political conversation that is happening right um. And I do believe that one day we will look back on this period in our history, in this country of the planned parenthood, pro choice, pro abortion era, and be completely and utterly horrified. But to forestall that day, the left is even willing to make peace, make make up

things like this. Disney princesses. Oh yeah, they've already had abortions. No, no, they didn't. Used to. All these medieval and pre modern societies where the Disney Princesses lived, they were lucky in a sense because there was no procedure known as abortion, so it did not happen. I just had to follow off with it. All right, We're gonna turn into a roll call segment here in a second. We'll spruce up

the hut a little bit. Right now, it's a little dour with our topics, but we'll be right back to it. So stay with me. It's one of these gray days in New York City where I just feel like, can it be a beautiful spring day? Already? It's been so old, it's been snowy. I've had enough. I want some good weather. I want to rock a T shirt. I want to drink a margarita in a sidewalk cafe on the street. One of those days, Team, you know, I don't know

I'm excited to go out to Indiana tomorrow. They're gonna get to hang out with all the folks out there at Whoa Whoa. If you are in the Fort Wayne area Talk Tank, just google Fort Wayne Talk Tank and you'll see. I'm gonna be hanging out all Saturday with the folks in Fort Wayne and our wonderful affiliate Whoa wo out there, and please do come and join, Please do come and hang out that we'll put a big smile on my face. Make me very happy for the weekend. So I hope there are a lot of members of

the team that can come hang out. I'll just be there all day, so we'll talk about whatever you want. I'll probably even do Commy bear on command, which is very rare for me, but I like to be a crowd pleaser. So with that, you know what comes next. Hey, team Buck, time for roll call. Al Right, first stuff, I hope you like that. Oh yeah, get those dance moves going bump bump, bump, bump, bump bump. You just feel like you're gonna be dancing alongside me and our

aerobics class, don't you. That's how it's how we do it. Uh. First up, in roll Call, we got Michael who has sent a photo of his beautiful yellow lab and she's beautiful, so thank you for the photo. Steve is next up, Hey, buck Love your show had one of my employees tell me about your show, and I've been listening ever since. I was wondering about all of these Netflix documentaries about

good food and such. I think it would be a fantastic idea to have a documentary about all the corruption with the Democrat Party about President Trump and documenting all the allegations, but most of willing the truth instead of the fake news that we are hearing every day. Getting interviews with both right and left parties about the situation. But I'm sure you're gonna get people on the left

that will not do an interview. I know it would be a lot of work, but maybe you could find somebody that could take this project and make it come to life. It could potentially go viral and educate people on what is truly happening in our country. Steve, it's a great idea, and you know what I would. I would lead it if somebody could just help me get

the funding. You know, this is the Truth Team, So much of what is possible on the creative side, unfortunately, and even in the creative commentary space, right, it's just a function of money. You know. This is why I

say to you, and I'm very honest about it. Every time I do a read on this show, or you hear a commercial and they have the call out codes for for buck you know, buck fifteen or whatever it is, depending on on the sponsor, that's just a way of showing the sponsor that the folks listening are willing to give a shot to the product and also support what

we're doing here. And the more, you know, the more success with that we have, the more I can do live stream video from the Freedom Hut, the more success I have with uh the history podcasts once we figure out how we're gonna present them, Uh, Then the more research and time and I could actually get a staff. You know. That's capitalism is wonderful, but it also means that we gotta do we gotta be working within the

reality of the finances here. So if somebody listening to this wants to get together with me and some other folks and come up with a way to do a really kick butt documentary on all the anti Trump corruption going on, you know, great, let's talk. As long as someone can write a check for to do that kind of documentary, I think we could do it for three or four million. That would be my guess. Yeah, I know right, it's expensive. That's why it's hard to do

these things alright. Next up here, we have a Mickey who writes, I love how you call your girl friend miss Molly. I have a granddaughter named Molly, and we call her miss Molly, even though she is a little kid. Still, she even has some teachers at school that have always called her miss Molly. Well, thank you very much, Mickey. Yeah, Molly is great, and she is a very interesting background. She is on one side Latina and on the other side Jewish, so her name is is a mixture of

different cultures as well. Uh. They call her Molly just because they like it. It's actually there's no Irish in her background whatsoever. But thank you for the shout out, Mickey. Appreciate it, Um Sheldon. Next up here, Hey, Buck, just heard you talking about Cardi B like you've never heard of her until a few weeks ago, saying that you need to check out her rent on taxes since she is making money. Now, I think she realizes how much

money she is losing. It's funny and enlightening. Shields high Sheldon, um buck. I think those people devices. I've not had an issue here any podcast. He's also saying the podcast is fine, so you can hear it. Thank you, Sheldon. Yeah. People people feel differently about taxes once they start paying really serious taxes. And right now I am particularly orderary about the federal government because I'm one of those folks

who has to send in estimated taxes. It's not even just that I have money taken out of my paycheck every two weeks, which I do, but any side projects that I have, some of the other things I'm involved with, I'm paid as a contractor, and for those gigs I have to send the federal government at check in advance of tax day just because they want their money right away. All Right, we got Dale who's written out some bullet

points here. Okay, Dale, let's get into it. Shields. I love your radio show and the Shieldside podcast about the outrageous Omnibus bill that the Dems and Rhinos pulled out of their collective took uses. I was very disappointed with President Trump for not videoing it, but I came across a post comment that explains about ace up his sleeve and why the omnibus is not such a bad thing. I do not know the validity of this. I'm not sure if you've read this yet, but I would love

to know your thoughts and opinions. Have much respect for you. You are the next rush Please read on. Well, since you called me the next Rushdale, there's no higher complement, of course that I could be paid. Uh. I will read on you right, and this is you're taking this from John Salisbury. President Trump outsmarts congress best explanation i've seen. Let's talk about what the President canon can't do for this omnibus bill. There's a lot of discussion both ways.

So let's examine how money gets allocated and spent in the US government. One Congress allocates money to be spent. The President spends the allocated money too. Once Congress allocates money, their job is oversight of the money being spent. They don't spend the money and have no say how it gets spent as long as it's being spent legally. That's their job to monitor with oversight. Three. Once the president has given the money with the instructions to spend it.

He has a number of choices to make and spend naked uh blah blah blah. This opens up new options. I'm gonna skip ahead of here is going a little long. Um. Despite their language and the omnibus bill about the border wall, it is Trump by the state of emergency that Trump declared. Okay, that's what this is about the state of emergency and national security side. Look, I think that there's probably a way that Trump could do that. Just understand that it

would immediately be challenged in federal court. And I think that a federal court, because of the politics involved, would immediately put a stay on any Trump effort to use military funds and declare an emergency to do that. So that's what I think about that. Um. Next up we have Mike, who writes, oh hey, Buck, good morning from Iowa. I see your a state guy. You have to try this style of reverse seer to take your state game

to the next level. Well, Mike, UM, I am not familiar with the reverse seers, so I will read your your note here and it will give it a shot. Katie. Next up here, Buck, I was so excited to hear a shout out to miss my favorite game. Ever, you should hold up and binge on the whole series over a long weekend now that you're older and wiser. Truth be told, I still haven't played Revelation because I don't

want it to end. I love your show, especially hearing references to pop culture and bumper music from someone around my age. I'm a rush baby, and I'm thankful that you represent a younger generation with as much accuracy and wisdom as Limball. Keep up the good work, Katie. Well, thank you so much, Katie, very very kind of you, and I'm certainly doing what I can here. Next up we have Tim who writes at the top okay for roll Call. Well, thank you Tim for the permission. Another

awesome show. Bro. Personally, I'm just short of Oss. I began following you in the Blaze days. Well that was when I was Oss. Tim. I think you're on board. I have a challenge for Hollywood. Here goes. Create a new TV series similar to The West Wing, where there the le can have their Madam President, where they act out alternate and creative ways of dealing with current events. Have them make the case why America would want a

Democrat in the office. But if the right plays it smart, they could create a conservative version of the West Wing with a president pushing family values, Christian fundamentals, uh morals, values, and a true constitutional republic and where the good guys Americans always win. What do you think that? Tim? Sounds great? But Hollywood's gonna block it because they're a bunch of libs. I'm gonna leave it there for today. Thank you so

much for being here with me. Tomorrow I'll be broadcasting from four Wayne from the studios of Whoa Whoa in four Wayne, Indiana. Looking forward to hanging out with the folks there on Saturday. Talk Tank is the event? It is in four Wayne. I believe it's at the convention Center there. Uh, come out, hang out, We'll take photos, chat, will tell jokes.
