You've also got violence at the border of Gaza and the Israeli state. We'll talk about what all of that means. Plus eighteen magazine that's celebrating Karl Marx seems pretty crazy to me. We'll get into that in a whole lot more coming up. This is the buck Sexton Show, where the mission or mission is to decode what really matters

with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake American, You're a great American. Again the buck Sexton Show begins. What a day, my friends. Welcome to the buck Sexton Show. Honor and a privilege to have you here with me. As always, I am really enjoying watching this Trump administration flummocks the critics just to drive them up the wall. I'm not going to say that that's the one and only thing that I need to keep me happy with this administration. That's not true.

We need policy success, we need victories beyond just the rhetorical. But man, it is fun to watch them squirm while Trump does things on the world stage, the place where he's supposed to be the least a death right. We were told, Okay, maybe he'll be good at infrastructure. Maybe maybe he'll be good, a little bit of dealing here and there. But foreign policy, that's the preserve of the fanciest, smartest people, kind of people who work for Democrat administrations,

not Trump, the ruffian, the billion they're barbarian. Not possible for him to get further with some of these US interests and some of these global policy matters than previous administrations. Certainly not in eighteen months as opposed to the eight years of his predecessor. And yet here we are President President Trump getting a lot of gratitude, a very warm his administration, the folks that are over there, Ivanka, Jared

Manuchin and others, warm reception in Israel today. Here is what the Prime Minister had to say about this embassy opening Playcliff nine. Dear friends, what a glorious day. Remember this moment. This is history. President Trump. By recognizing history, you have made history. There you go making history. Let's be honest. Not in year one, tech, it's year two. Now. That's still really early, isn't it. It's still rather impressive,

and it's just the beginning, isn't it. Now. I will get into some of the violence going on in cause I will talk about that as well. Because it's not like this is going on without there being a a I shouldn't say a downside to it necessarily, it's just a an opposite reaction, right, it doesn't have to be this way. So I mean by it that the downside doesn't come along with this decision. There is no reasonable expectation that anyone should have that because the United States

moves its embassy. By the way, who is that really a decision for for us and for the are Israeli hosts? That's it. It really isn't, in fact something that we have to take a worldwide proxy vote. We don't have to ask everyone's opinion on this. And yet you get the sense there's this consideration of this as though this is a vote by committee instead of a bilateral issue, which is really what it turns out to be, or turns out that it is. A few things. I want

to get into the Gaza situation. What's going on with these so called protests. I mean, yeah, there's some protests, but there's some violence and yes, dare I say, some terrorist activity going on as well, and that has led to a response from the idea from Israeli forces that has resulted in the depths of over fifty people. But I first want to look at the policy side of this, and just note that this is an issue among the very first issues that I ever looked at as a

policy matter. In fact, I am in the swamp right now, not far away from my first DC job, where I spent my first time in DC working at a Midi stink tank as a research intern for the Clinton era negotiator for the Arab Israeli peace process. So that takes me back gosh, seventeen years, eighteen years something like that, so I'm almost twenty years ago now, which, as I say that out loud, it feels pretty crazy, but that

is the case. So this was an issue that I went to very early on in my academic career, studied in school, and I learned a few things, and this will hopefully provide some context for discussion we're about to have. I learned some things. One is that generally speaking in this country on the issue of Israel and Palestine, it quickly devolves into not, hey, how could we solve this?

Everyone pretends that they want to solve it, but very quickly you see that there is a polarization that occurs because people feel the need to just to take a side. They take a side and the pro Palestinian left. I am I kid you not. I almost physically bumped into and I don't mean that it would have been an accident. We were both in the coming out of the train. I saw Linda Sarsore today at the train station here in DC. I just walked right past her and we

were we were a foot away from each other. Said, oh, interesting, speaking of the anti Israeli pro Palestinian left, you have Linda star Sore in the house. Part of me was like, it would be fun to try to engage, But you know what, I give people their private space, even public people. I don't I see someone in public. I'm never gonna heckle. I'm not one of those. I'm just it's just not who I am. Linda sars it was at least thought about. I thought about it, right, it would have been Hey,

so why do you say all those terrible things? Just curious you want to try to have a discussion about that. But I'm sure profanity would have come my way and why ruined her day? Ruined my morning? But you often see that this gets turned into a highly politicized discussion and so I tell you from the outset that I want to solve the issue, but I also am allied ideologically and otherwise with the Israeli state. So just to be upfront about it doesn't mean I think everything Israel

does it's great. Doesn't mean that I don't think that there's some difficulties on both sides that we could alleviate, that we could do things to make less problematic. But I just view right now, you have an Israeli state that's trying to do the right thing, and that's trying to live in peace and has achieved a tremendous amount of prosperity. You have Palestinian people who are suffering, granted, but you have a Palestinian leadership that's a disgrace. And

Hamas is a disgraceful organization. It's a terrorist organization. So I side with civilization against the terrorists. That's just a shorthand way of saying I'm I'm with the Israeli people in the Israeli state against Hamas. I don't view Palestinians

and Hamas is one and the same. Though would also like to help, I would like the situation to be improved, and America to play a role in that for Israelis and Palestinians, and so with that or for Palestinians specifically, with that in mind, a few things here that I think have not gotten nearly enough attention with today, and I'll also come back to the Trump component of all this. But this is not the end of the US as

an arbor in this. In Middy's piece, this is not, in any way, I think, something that we can look at as even a huge it's interesting, it's tremendously significant as is symbol. But in terms of where this takes us with the actual peace process, right, the very elusive now Palestinian Israeli peace process we've been trying to achieve, I usually think this will be better. And here's why. There was never going to be an Israeli state. It just wasn't going to happen that did not have as

its end state Jerusalem as its capital. So then you start to wonder, what's with the not having embassies in the capital if there is there is absolutely positively no way that there would be an Israel that would allow Jerusalem to not be its capital. Right, it was never going to be traded away, It was never going to be placed under just a generalized international mandate or all that. No,

that was never going to happen. So why go through these games, Why why go through these motions of well, we're gonna wait on the embassy because we don't want to make it seem like we've already decided. Well, they have decided as they should, so it doesn't really change very much in that regard. And people will talk about a two state solution and that's been There are a lot of their buzzwords. You'll hear about this and what

is it like? Un resolution? They'll talk about two four two and three three eight and land for peace and there's all. This has just been ongoing for decades and

decades now. No one's really gotten very far, although the biggest improvement has just been the Israelis, that's right, building a wall, building an actual physical border and creating security for themselves and then saying okay, well now what And the Palestinians, as they have done so many times, never miss an opportunity, to miss an opportunity, and Mahmoudabas the

leader of the Palestinian authority, is a disgrace. And now we get to finally see an administration coming along the Trump administration that says this is just this is nonsense. This holding off on the embassy. Why it's already US law. What's the what's the point of pretending that there will be any future where we don't put our embassy with this Israeli state in Jerusalem. This isn't a carrot that should be offered up right, This isn't an inducement to talks.

This is just reality. So I think that that's that's very important, and it also undermines a narrative here. You see, the narrative from Hamas is that the Israelis don't actually even that the Jews do not actually have ties to Jerusalem. They have they have no authentic relationship with Jerusalem. Their usurpers, you know, all kinds of vitriol from Hamas specifically around

your Jerusalem. And this clearly undermines that narrative, right because one of the problems that you have with the hardliners, the radicals predominantly in Gaza, but there's some of the West Bank too, is that they are told by their leadership this is just temporary. This is just temporary, and they don't mean it's temporary as in there'll be a peace settlement. They mean the existence of the Jewish state

is temporary. So when the world's loan superpower says, actually, our embassy with the Jewish State is going to go in their capital of Jerusalem, it doesn't obliterate the notion of a two state solution. Quite the contrary. And I'll get into some of that in a moment, But what it says is you've got to stop believing and telling.

In the case of the Hamas leadership, you gotta stop believing these lies that this is going to change, that there is a world in which a world that you should be waiting for, in which there is no Jews state, there is no Jewish presence in Jerusalem. It's just not going to happen. Because as long as people believe and they've been fed a diet of anti Semitism and anti Israeli rhetoric for a very long time. As I tell you,

I had a it's kind of a personal asside. I had a girlfriend many years ago who instead of meeting it was her choice. She was in grad school and instead of meeting me in I forget where I was going to meet her in Italy somewhere for you know, a romantic week away with vacation, and instead of going with me, she decided to go interview the families of suicide bombers in the West Bank for a school project.

It wasn't mandated, but she did it, and putting aside for a moment the fact that I was disappointed that that was not a good move for our relationship. When she came back, she had a completely different view of what the problem was over there, because you had women who were celebrating the martyrdom of their children as suicide bombers. It was as though they had you know, gotten into Harvard or something but obviously dead now and killed a

bunch of people in the process. This was a good thing, and that was and this was now stretching back, gosh, a decade ago, but that was a that was a moment that I always remember because Palestinian society had been so poisoned by this rhetoric from Hamas and these extremists and Palestinian Islamic Jihad and you know, the alax On Marter brigades, all these these different groups and factions within the groups and militants, and that this had now taken over even in some of the homes of people as

normal in their minds. That's how poisoned they had become against honestly any basic decency or humanity. So you have to eradicate that. You have to take that narrative and shatter it and get rid of it. It's bad for the Palestinians, it's bad for it's bad for everyone. And I think that moving the embassy works to that effect. I do have to talk to you about Gaza. We've got a lot here on this and also the Trump

administration getting credit for this. So we'll spend most of this hour on this issue, and then next hour we'll talk maybe a bit about where the latest is with Muller. The White House still under siege, no surprise there, that's like every day. And then I've got some interesting, an interesting assortment of stories, including legalizing sports betting. Talk about that. Karl Marx gets a shout out from teen Vogue, who

knew the crazy world. And if you stay through the whole show, I've got a really heartwarming story about a wedding that you wouldn't expect at the very end, So I got a lot more comming teams, stay with me. Jerusalem is still the capital of Israel and must remain an undivided city accessible to all. Soon as I take office, I will begin the process of moving the United States ambassador to the city Israel as children as its capital.

I continue to say that Jerusalem will be the capital of Israel, and I have said that before and I will say it again. Jerusalem will remain the capital of Israel, and it must remain undivided. It is time to officially recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. Oh, previous presidents have made this a major campaign promise they failed to deliver.

Today I am delivering, right. So the president there is just doing what you would think any previous president that we played the audio from right, we went through you know, Clinton, Bush, Obama, all of them. They're all saying that Jerusalem capital of Israel. Okay, So why wouldn't we put our embassy where the capitalists? What are we caving to? What sensibility are we trying to plague Kate with this? And with Trump? The genius

and yeah, that's right, I said it. The genius of some of his foreign policy moves thus far has been to forget about the so called consensus, forget about what the people that think they are also smart on these issues have been telling each other about them for a very long time without fixing anything, without even moving the ball down field and say, what is the problem, Let's do something about it. What are we saying about it? Well,

let's do something based on what we say. In this case, that means if Jerusalem is the capital, that's where the embassy will be. It's so simple. It's so simple, isn't it. It's so straightforward. Trump takes kind of an comes raise or approach to foreign policy. All Right, we got a big problem with North Korea. Let's maximize our leverage. We'll sit down and talk to North Korea, see if they'll stop this crap. We've got an agreement with the State

of Israel that Jerusalem is their capital. We've said we want to move our embassy there. Let's just move our embassy there. There's no future in which we're not going to put our embassy there, so why not just do it now? And I think the messaging is very powerful for why moving it is in fact the right, the right thing to do now. David, if Fune will be join us here in just a moment, he's a if you listen to show you know, he's brilliant guy, editor in chief of the Alga Miner knows the Israeli issue

backwards and forwards. So we'll talk to him about this and then I've got a whole lot more stay tuned team. Over a century ago, the Balford Declaration recognized the right of the Jewish people to a national home in this land. And exactly seventy years ago today, President Truman became the first world leader to recognize the newborn Jewish States. Last December, President Trump became the first world leader to recognize Jerusalem as our capital. And today the United States of America

is opening its embassy right here in Jerusalem. Thank you, Thank you President Trump for having the courage to keep your promises. Thank you President Trump, and thank you all for making the alliance between America and Israel stronger than ever.

Prime Minister net and Yahoo giving a heartfelt thanks to the Trump administration in the United States of America today because of what's going on with the embassy move We've got somebody who can help us put all of this into a context as well as some of the violence going on in Gaza. We have David iffun on the line. He is the editor in chief of the Alga Minor,

which is the fastest growing Jewish newspaper in the country. David, great to have you back, always a pleasure, but I just wanted to hear from you what the significance is in your mind in terms of US Israel relations of today. It's hugely significant. Not so much it's so far as you know what is being said in and of itself.

I think it's along been the case to Jerusalem has been the capital of Israel, of course historically, and of course that the Israel has always viewed it and as an act of congress back in nineteen ninety five, the American people have recognizing that as well. What's important today is really the symbolism of it. It's the celebration of it.

It's the fact that the world newspapers and media outlets and headlines across the world are featuring the unveiling of this embassy, the public celebration and announcement, the comments from Benjamin Niahoo, and it's hard to to to really get a cent of what this means to the Israeli people. There's been some some imagery and of the streets of Jerusalem, which are be deathed with flags thanking President Trump. Obviously

he played that clip. President Truman has a very special place in the Israelian hearts as the first person to recognize the Nason state of Israel while it was under siege, and the Israeli certainly feels very strongly about President Trump. I think, I mean a while ago he was he was more popular there than in the United States, which is one of only a couple of countries where he's perceived in that way. Now, I'm sure if a Poe

were to be taking it would be even higher. They feel recognized, they feel that justice has been said up and there's a great deal of credit for Presidents Trump for really taking historic stand on the bucking the the political correctness and this uh sense of fear and and uh and insensitivity to the ready perspective and things, and coming out and saying that we're going to accept this publicly. We're going to move our industry and make a statement,

and nobody's going to stop us. One thing that I read today, David, and I don't think this is getting nearly enough attention to press. You and I could both surmise as to why that is. But there are some knowledgeable onlookers analysts of this situation who are saying that this is actually better for a perspective peace process. Could you give me your sense of that. Look, that's certainly

the the the perspective. Uh, And that's the narrative that we've been hearing from the White House, and I think there is there are certainly elements of truth to that. I mean, this is this is I mean the age old discussions of peacemaking, especially when you're when you're dealing with an adversary that that doesn't really have any intention to split hairs with you, to to reason and to divide.

I mean, look, it's very very clear that the Palestine in preference is the complete annig nation, eradication, and replacement of the Jewish State of Israel as it stands today.

So when you're dealing with an adversary who has that in goal, and the negotiating from a position of strength actually leads to a greater opportunity for some form of concession, the first thing that's necessary is for them to understand that the enterprise known as Israel is not up for negotiation and it's eradication and removal it's not on the horizon, and when that becomes a fact point, you can have a real discussion as long as there is some hope

that eventually, piece by piece, in the long term, the entity called era can be out maneuvered and bypassed and overrun. Then dependency and the willingness to make real confessions and to really come to terms with it are going to be a lot less and I think, by the way,

that applies to lots of international discussions. There are echoes of that line of thinking in the North Korean discussions, of the Koinian discussions, and the end of the day, as with everything in life, you know, the adversaries are going to push as hard as as they can until they meet resistance. And when facts are established, and when resistance and when lines in the sand are drawn and they're maintained, that's when you can start to have a

conversation which doesn't involve the demise of either party. Now I have to ask you, David, I'd have to ask you about this violence in Gaza at the at the border fence between Israel and Gaza. What do you make of it? I mean, clearly, there's a there's an effort

you punch through the fence. You have these people referring to this as a protest today in response to the embassy move when we know that for six weeks now, these so called protests that include molotov cocktails being thrown, that include people carrying knives and chanting about how they want to break into Israel and kill as many people as possible. It's not really much of a protest, but that has been going on here. What is behind this?

I mean, what do those showing up at the border fence between Israel and Gaza think they will accomplish by doing this. Look, at the end of the day, this is just a repurposed suicide bombing campaign. It has all of the same mechanics, mechanisms, motivations of your traditional terrorist suicide bomber. I mean, these guys are being handed weaponry, in some cases explosive to being sent down to the border. They know what the result is going to be. They know,

and Hamas knows. And the recent studies the Mayor I mean Intelligence Center that studied many of the recent counties found that the vast majority of them were actually card

carrying members of terrorist groups. Today we published details of a report that was put together by a group of very very senior military people out in Europe headed by Kindel Richard Camp, who is ahead of British forces in Afghanistan, and a number of other very very senior military officials who described this as an orchestrated military terrorist campaign by the Hamas in Ghaza. But you know, that's something that

we've come to expect from Hamas. At the end of the day, they are cut from the same cloth as al Qaeda and as ISIS, and as other various sort of barbaric terrorist groups that are across the globe. What is most disturbing though, is the way that major media outlets that are supposed to have some kind of journalistic guidelines or or benchmarks theoretical objectivity. I like to call it, yeah,

theoretical objectivity. So we're seeing the Huffington Post. I don't know if they have the headlines still up now right, but they had it a couple of hours ago that the headline with embassy massacre. Encourage your listeners to go and to check their website dictionary and see what the word massaca means. That is actually a blood libel to accuse Israel of a sovereign state of wantingly massacring unarmed and defenses civilians from And this is from a major

Western media outlet. I don't know if it's still owned by AOL or Time One or wherever it is. These a major US company, You've got to have some sentlance of responsibility. It's it's outrageous how the media, how the major media outlets in the United States, certainly in Europe. I mean, look at the b you see today and I figured out and all of the nature the Afton Blad Swedish media ads. I mean, they're leading on this thing with the Hamus narrative that they have swallowed Tookla Center.

David Iffun is the editor in chief of the Alga Minor, largest Jewish or fastest growing Jewish newspaper in the country. You should check it out Alga Minor dot com. David. Always great to have you, man, and a good day in a lot of ways. Today. Always a pleasure book. Absolutely, team, We're rolling it a quick one. I've got a lot

more for you coming back in just a moment. One thing I have to know it is the similarity between the way the media reports on the so called protests at the Israel gaza order and the way that some protest movements in this country are described. Right, If you have a large gathering and some people have placards, some people have posters that they're walking around with slogans or chanting, and there is also a group within that group that

is engaged in violence. Do you call it? Do you call it a mostly peaceful protests or do you focus on the violent actors? Right? You see this all the time with the left in this country, whether it's Antifa or Black Lives Matter or any number of political movements, where there are some people who are violent, but then there's this bigger group that's not engaged in violence. I'm talking about the specific event, and they'll call it a

mostly peaceful protest. I mean Ferguson where buildings were burning down, it was a mostly peaceful protest. These thousands and thousands of Palestinians who have been gathered for six weeks at the border with Israel are Yeah, they're engaged in protests, right, that's part of it. But they're also engaged in a

form of it's kind of a passive assault. I mean, I don't know what you really They're walking and walking and daring the authorities to actually, in this case, the Israeli is right the border patrol or the military to do something about them. They're trying to run through the fence or get get beyond the fence and get into israel properties. Ralis aren't going to allow that. At some point, the States mandates have to be enforced with force or

else they cease to exist. And that's what they're testing here, right. They do this through a form of a kind of aggressive activism. But then on top of that, they're the people that are throwing molotov cocktails, which can kill people, right, that's lethal. Throwing rocks a favorite of so called Palestinian protesters.

Someone throws a rock at me, and it's big enough, and there's enough of them, I gotta think long and hard of it whether I'm gonna draw my firearm and draw it down on them, because if I get hit in the head with that rock, I could die. I could get knocked out. Then they come over and take my gun and shoot me. I'm not gonna sit there and get pelted with rocks. I don't have a great arm. But if I threw a pretty good sized rock at somebody and it hit them in the head, that's gonna

be lights out for them. So you know, there's no all. They're just throwing rocks. They're just throwing rocks. That's a big deal. Actually, would you say they're just punch Would you rather have somebody throw a big piece of concrete at you or take a swing at you, throw a punch at you. I might actually take the punch over the piece of concrete. But if a bunch of people try to punch me and I had a firearm on me, and I felt like my life was in danger, I

would probably draw it down. Many you are familiar with the often taught rule about twenty feet. How quickly can you actually get to your firearm? If someone has an edged or even blunt weapon and they come at you, if they're within twenty feet, there's a very good chance they're now know a lot of you're like buck, I'm much asked with that, But even folks with some training,

very unlikely they'd be able to get. If they're talking about a side arm, Now get to their side arm, draw their side arm, and fire it, or they could be either stabbed or hit. Even if you get the rounds off that person, the attackers for momentum and adrenaline may allow them to complete the attack even after you've gotten the shot off. I remember, especially if you've got like a nine millimeter, it's probably gonna take more than one round. You're going for center mass, might take a

few rounds. So you know, it's not as easy as just well, you've got people with guns that are manning this border fence, and then you've got a bunch of innocent civilians who just want to protest. That's not what's happening here. I've never seen this before. This is new. Actually, fire kites are being deployed. So they have these kites that they set on fire obviously, and then they try to fly them over the fence, you know, catch a gust of wind, and then have them land in Israelis

to basically start field fires or forest fires. As I said, incendiary devices. That's a Molotov cocktail. That's something else they've been throwing. People are showing up with knives saying they want to stab Israelis. That they're chanting about how they want to march all the way to Jerusalem. This isn't peaceful protest, you know, this is this is like a mob marching up to a police officer and all throwing rocks at him. What's that cops supposed to do? Just

keep getting pelt with rocks. Oh, it's not it's non lethal force they're using. Actually it's not true. So you know, this is where you're seeing the media breakdown between how they view That's amazing. You think a CNN, for example, takes a very pro Palestinian point of view, and people would say, oh, why is that. Oh, that's right. CNN makes I believe most of it certainly makes a lot

of its money in the international market. That's why they can have all these boring shows that nobody watches on during the day and the ratings are garbage, and nobody doesn't really matter all that much because CNN as an organization makes a ton of money because in a lot of countries it's considered, you know, this is the American cable news channel of record, and so they'll just beam it all over the world, so you know you've seen

international and it's an airports everywhere. It's kind of a background channel, right for in a lot of countries, CNN is the the airport or the elevator music of the news industry. It's just kind of there and you can kind of watch it or kind of not watch it.

But they I think that's why they take this particularly pro Palestinian viewpoint a lot of things, and certainly with the Trump administration, and I didn't get into that as much this hour, but they view this as because Trump did it, it has to be bad, breaking with tradition, I think was the headline I saw I saw earlier today.

The Trump administration breaks with tradition. Oh no, don't break with tradition, the tradition that has not exactly it worked out so well considering that the peace process under the Obama administration, the Israeli Palestinian peace process, did not get to first base. I think you could argue that Obama didn't even get up to the plate, didn't even get a chance to bat because his administration was so inept in bringing together the Israeli side with the Palestinian side

of that negotiation. So they have no wisdom to share here. They have no perch from which they can cast aspersions on what Trump is doing. And I think we will see that this was a spark for discussions or if not, guess what, at least they tried at least they did something. They took action instead of sitting around thinking that the status quo was what we want, because it is clearly not.

I want to switch gears because I know there's been a lot of talk about what's going on with the embassy today, and let's focus on some things here at home, Immigration coming up in the next hour and all so SNL and political community today, we'll get into that and much more. Stay with me. So, my family has a French bulldog. Miss Molly has a pitbullboxer mix. But whether you've got a little pup or a big one, you

Now maybe saying Buck, there's

big policy matters to talk about. There's all kinds of well, he spent the last hour in Israel in the embassy move I want to look at the culture for a few minutes here and what's going on. It has been my contention on this show for quite some time, and I believe it to be increasingly true and obvious that culture is now a casualty of I'm sorry, comedy is

now well. Actually both of those things are true, but comedy is a casualty of the left that progressive ideology and intersectional politics are making it increasingly impossible to actually be funny without risk to your career, ear to your reputation. But also it has replaced comedy with propaganda. Right, Propaganda can be funny, Propaganda can sometimes be you know, clever, humorous, but it's for a purpose that you're having this stuff told to you. It is meant to bring about a

certain mindset, to change people's positions on things. And what you see from all the mainstream comedy shows these days, with a few exceptions, but all the big platforms that the late shows, SNL is just atrocious. It's not funny. It's the same trumpet arrangement syndrome, snide commentary that dresses dresses itself up as comedy somewhat, but is certainly not

actually first and foremost concerned with making people laugh. And it's gotten so bad that I see even Vice, which is a left wing hipster media organization, published a piece on how these cold opens from SNL are just virtue signaling political screeds from the left. They're not funny, they're elitists, they're snide, they're nasty, and it just goes to show you how much Trump has rattled the other side, that this is what they have to do week in, week out.

They all they have all these different staff writers. They're supposed to come up with with jokes that will make the American people laugh. And I think there's a real loss here because maybe it's just cowardice, right, they have to make fun of Trump or else they're they worried that they'll lose their privileged positions. They have to make fun of conservatives, of white Christian males of the right in general, because if they don't, then they're not woke enough,

you know. So there's a social pressure that comes into it. But my big thing is they're just not funny. And I find it so rare to actually have comedy that is in, you know, wide circulation, that has a big platform. I'm sure, Look, I'm sure they're a great stand up people here that I saw stand up myself in New York a couple of months ago. And you know, it was it was good. It wasn't overly political. It's a little political. Look, I'm gonna get a little political commentary.

I just think that there's a laziness that's at the heart of so much of the commentary we're seeing these days. And look, I used to like to trune into SNL sometimes in the Dana Carvey Mike Myers age. You know, you'd throw it on and there was some really good to Chris Farley, I mean, and it was funny. And you think back to the sketches that they would do, and they weren't meant to make one side of the political spectrum feel good about themselves and make the other

side feel bad about themselves. It was just meant to make people laugh. You know, Wayne's World Celebrity Jeopardy another example, just meant to make me That's one of my favorites. Meant to make people laugh. Where's the equivalent today? You just don't see it, and it's it's a function in large part of the way the left does business now. I do blame the Democrat Party. I blame progressive ideology. I blame the Twitter outrage mobs, these newfound theories of

intersectionality and the victimology that is so pervasive and progressive thought. Right, who's the biggest victim? That's the first thing you have to determine before you can have any discussion about anything, never mind make jokes. And I was actually happy to see that Jerry Seinfeld when he was talking to David Letterman. By the way, I've never thought Letterman was funny. And everyone I ever know who's been around the guy says he's mean. So why you know, he's just a construct

of the legacy media. There's just so much there are constructs, right, They're the equivalent in comedy or in news of pop stars right in sync. I was gonna say, justin Bieber, Gosh, I'm losing him getting old? What's the guys, who's the one who's married, dear Jessica whatever her name is, instead of me? Damn it, Timberlake, thank you justin Timberlake. Yeah, he's talented. But the rest of those guys, Yeah, they were just kind of part of a machine, right Were

they so great? Were they so so talented? They kind of got lucky. They're part of a machine. You have that in comedy too. Some of the right guys or some guys are just in the right place at the right time. You're having a news for sure. What's the difference see in like one anchor and another over at CNN. I don't know how much Zucker and the executives like them.

That's really it not much of a difference in skill set, and certainly not much of a difference in skill set with people that are doing like, you know, local news in Peoria. I mean, it's all the same thing, right, So but I look at this and I think Letterman, Okay, I'm sorry, I just go on my little rants. I just don't like I've tried people like you're from New York, Buck, I remember was based or should no, Letterman, It's just not funny. Top ten lists are usually cheesy. You didn't

but I'm done. I mean the whole thing. It's just not good at least in the last the last ten years on air. I can't speak to what it was like, you know, earlier on but Seinfeld was speaking to Letterman and this issue came up. Play clip too. Do you do Trump stuff when you go out? No, No, it doesn't interest me. I do a lot of raisin stuff. What raisins. I have a lot of raisin material because you know, you have the sun Made company, and then you have the raisin at people. That's right, and you're

gonna go with the Sun Made people. Well, I just think it's interesting that after eighty years, sun Made finally went, hey, why don't we put some chocolate on it? Like, imagine not thinking of that for eighty years. Now. I like this and for a number of reasons. One is it you notice how Seinfeld he doesn't just deflect on that. You can tell why antagonize half of your perspective audience. It's one thing for me. And by the way, I

want Democrats to listen to this show. I think I'll make converts out of them over time, and I want smart democrats to write to me in good faith and say you're wrong on this because of this, or I disagree with you. I'm always trying to learn more too. One of my favorite things about what I do is that it is my mandate to learn more, to get smarter on everything that I talk to you about each and every time I come to this microphone, so that

I'm a better host. So this is what it pushes me to keep reading and writing and diving into more books and making the time to do more research. And I love that part of what I do. But you know, I also understand that you're generally going to have a right of center audience. Listen to a conservative talk radio host. If I were in comedy, I would want everybody to listen. I'd want to make everyone laugh as much as humanly possible. But they abandoned that as a mission. Even they're really

just trying to make the left laugh. And you see this with the shows that are getting greenlit on Netflix and these other platforms. I've been telling you we are

behind on the digital platforms we are getting. We're gonna wake up and the younger generation is going to be so much more interested in the news programming on YouTube and Facebook Live and Netflix and Amazon everything than they are in Like the old stagyrmal news anchor on CBS, and I could pay ten million dollars a year, even though you could pay somebody about a tenth of that, and they'd be just as good and super excited for

the job. I mean, that's all going away, right. This is why you have a lot of the big names in media, in news media at the legacy networks, they're really so insecure because I think they know that one they're just lucky, but they're so lucky that to just get through the day they have to think that there's actually something special about them. But two, their whole business model is disappearing. The notion of fight it out internally to get some very rarefied news anchor job one of

these places. It's just not it's just not people say, oh, bucking oh, it's just because you're not gonna do that. It's not going to exist anymore it, trust me, in twenty years, none of my peers, and you know who all the good conservatives are right now, I have a lot of them on the show. None of my peers who are going to be big in the commentary and news business are going to be vying for like an

ABC news position. It's just not reality. Maybe there'll be some digital version of it, but there's not going to be some channel that has this huge built in advantage of advertising changing. It's all changing. Comedy, I think is right for disruption. I mean, I'm not just here to bemoan this. We need better platforms for comedy in general, and yes conservative comedy too, but but as a more broad spectrum thing, I just want to see people that try to make people laugh. It's so, you know, there's

all these studies, but how it's good for you. And it's one of the reason I try to joke around here as much as I can on this show. Like I'm not a comedian, I know that, but I do try to. If I can't make you laugh, at least I'll make myself laugh over the course of the show. But this is something that it's just being stripped from our from our culture. It really is. We are watching the death of comedy and slow motion because of progressives. Because and they're even starting to pick up on this.

No jokes are funny. Everything is offensive except you know, you have the the the additive effect of or the double whammy. That's what I was trying to think of of. You know, you can't make any jokes unless they're about conservatives, and then you can make all of your jokes as mean as you want. That's the way that we're supposed to go forward. Now it's just crazy. You know, I'm

really tired of it. I feel like a lot of you are too, by the way, because I do take your suggestions, folks, those who call in, those are who write me. I did over the course the week and watch a few episodes of Last Man Standing, and it was a revelation. I'm like, oh, look at this, a show about a family in America with a guy who's being in a you know, kind of a red blooded as salt of the earth guy. He's got a wife and three daughters and they're just going through life. And

it's supposed to be funny. That's it doesn't have some huge clawber you over the head. Agenda. Isn't supposed to be making you change the way you view this or that contentious social issue. It's just, hey, here's a show. Let's like stuff that everyone deals with whatever race, whatever creed, whatever color, whatever, you know, all of us deal with these things. And I think that there's there's so much more room for this now because we see the way

all of this is going. But last man's standing was good. I think it's coming back too, which is I'm happy about that. But my only thing, and this is just a stylistic issue, and some of you are probably gonna be mad at me for that, but that's all right. I don't like laugh tracks. They have them the Big Bang Theory. They have a lot of these big shows. Still I prefer the just the comedy and you kind of cut back and forth different scenes. I don't like

laugh tracks. It's just the thing for me. I know, I'm you know. I also don't like when people talk in the quiet car on amtrack, which happened recently and I almost lost my coal. Because we're not barbarians. The quiet car is sacred. Eight four four nine eight two five team, if you want to chat eight four four nine hundred buck, maybe we'll talk about, Well, there's some fun stuff from the campus reform and Obama's Nobel Prize. Also,

what the latest on immigration? We've got the gosh, the media is still dug in trying to get as much mileage as possible out of this story about the bad comment made about John McCain. Maybe we'll get into some of that. And like I said, Carl marks two hundred year anniversary, Like there's a teen magazine that read dot

com marks. I want to tell you about that. That's coming up in a little bet we'll talk about at h And I got a bunch of other oh in this at the the at the end of the show, I've got a really sweet story to share with you. It's not mine. It's from a priest who posted online, but it's just really nice. And I think, if nothing else, stay with me through the rest of the show for that, because you might cheer up a little bit. You're right back. Black rifle coffee, my friends, it is what I drink.

They are really continuing to push on this issue of Kelly Sadler, the White House official who look made a very very bad comment about John McCain. Right, just a stupid, insensitive, disrespectful thing to say. But my understanding was that, and I could be wrong, but that she had called the McCain family apologized to them, and yet this is still a story. I was in the gym today here, I know, right,

fighting the dad bod. It's a losing battle. I was in the gym today here in DC and they had MSNBC on a locker room. First of all, there should be no TV's in locker room. Second of all, why is it MSNBC. Are they just trying to get me angry before I work out? I mean, maybe that's some form of motivation, but this is all a total aside. But they're still trying to make this a a story, a continuing story. I mean, we we covered this a

bit last week. Today, raw Shaw, who we've had here on the show, took over the White House Press docker Harry podium from Sarah Sanders. She was out for today. I don't know why, and Roj had to just deal

with just one question after another. Remember we got the embassy move today, still the whole Mueller probe, all that situation going on, big immigration issues to deal with, reports out that Trump wants a budget deal before the August reassessed me, all kinds of stuff to really have the media synk their teeth into and what do they really want to talk about? How mean somebody in the White House was, and that's what they want to talk about

play eleven. Senator Lindsey Graham said, I wish somebody from the White House would tell the country that what Kelly Sadler said was inappropriate, that that's not how we are as a Trump administration. Why not just apologize? Kelly Sadler told Megan McCain that she would apologize publicly, and that has not yet happened. Why has that not happened, she explains, You're always being addressed internally. She is still an employee here at the White House. She came to work today.

Why had she publicly apologized, as she told Medima came that she traded. Kelly Sadler is a little bit of a victim here. Do you agree that she's a little bit of a victim here? And why is there any environment where that conveying that thought would be viewed as appropriate? He said? It is dealt with internally. Has it anything been dealt with since last week when she called the family? We're leading the meeting where Kelly Sadler said what she said,

How did it strike you? Did you find to being inappropriate? And how did what was the reaction in the room? And that's that's just a smattering, that's just a selection of the questions asked on this issue. A few things on this They want her fire. The media will not be satisfied until she's fired. Oh but keep this in mind too, not only do they want her fired once they get their way, if they get which they won't,

I think with this White House. And remember I don't, in any way, shape or form think anything other than that comment was completely unacceptable. But she apologized. She hasn't publicly apologized, but maybe that's because the media keeps pushing the issue with a very clear agenda. I think of she needs to be fired for the comment to be fired.

You know this is this is also a moment where I have to wonder, and they they will not be satisfied even if she has fired, right then then it will be yet another person fired for there for being you know, grotesque and terrible in this White House, and so it won't stop the stories. But another thing, and this just comes from yeah, I was a CIA guy, So discretion something that I kind of have a little bit of a better understanding of than a lot of

other folks, but especially in the media. Um, who would I mean, it's it's hurtful for this for the family, for the McCain family to hear this. It's just hurtful all around to spread this out there in the media. Who is the turn Coode in that meeting that told everybody about this terrible comment. He's back with you now because when it comes to the fight for truth, the fuck never stops. Big decision came down from the Supreme

Court earlier today. It's gonna change what is legal and what is not what it comes to betting on sports. I'm not somebody who watches a whole lot of professional sports, but I do have interest in the government. It's regulation and it's mandates when it comes to what is acceptable and unacceptable commerce. We have somebody, though, who can answer all these things for us and bring it all together and make some sense of whether you can actually now go and bet on the I was gonna say the

Crimson Tide or roll Tide or I don't know. I don't know any of college sports at all. Emily Campanio is with us. Yeah, she knows. Emily Campanio is with it. She's a former federal attorney, also a legal analyst and sports business analyst. Emily, great to have you back, Thanks so much. But how are you all right to tell

me about this decision today? First of all, what led to this, right, What led to this is the fact that in nineteen ninety two a law was passed that effectively prohibited states from enacting their own legislation to create sports betting. Right A, New Jersey kept trying to get around it, and so eventually the NCAA sued New Jersey

for trying to get around it. So in turn, New Jersey sued back and said, this nineteen ninety two law is unconstitutional, and finally the Supreme Court agreed to hear it. And so what it boils down to is the fact that if the if Congress had passed a law that said we federally prohibit sports betting, then that would have

been constitutional. But instead the law said we prohibit states from passing laws to that effect, and as we know, that is prohibited via the commandeering exception in the Tenth Amendment. And so that is why the Supreme Court struck it down today. So essentially it opens the doors for states to set their own laws to regulate and execute sports

betting within their own borders. Now, under this law, before today, right, the situation was that you could I'm not somebody who does any sports gambling because I don't watch much of the way of sports, as you know, Emily. But you could place a bet right, but you would have to call Las Vegas or something wasn't there. So you could be in a state, but you'd have to call a place and they put the bet for you there. How

did that work? Right? Essentially, that original law carved out exceptions, And here's the irony is that it actually carved out an exception for New Jersey at the time also, and New Jersey was sluggish and slow and fail to take advantage of that. They failed to be timely. And so Las Vegas and states that already have sports lottery, which include states like organ they got in under that exception of the Father clause. But New Jersey just failed at it.

So in a way, it's good for we didn't because now the law has been one hundred percent overturn ruled unconstitutional. But until then, in this past interim, you could only again place bets under lottery systems if it was already existing or in Vegas because of the Grandfather clause. Now note as well, for listeners, this doesn't change online gambling.

This only has to do with state borders. And so until it's you know, until something happens differently on the federal level, when you see and hear people already talking about oh, mobile apps and this and that, it has to be tied to a house. It has to be tied to a racetrack or a brick and mortar within a state, so that you're not operating across state line. Okay, see that's really important. So before you would have to call a state that had the exception and they could

place the bet for you in that state. And now states were any state based on the Supreme Court decision that came. Now today any state could say, you know, New York, they could say, okay, we're gonna set up the New York Betting Authority or something, right, I mean, just I know this is what they call these things. But and anyone can show up and they can bet on whether the Hoosiers are gonna beat the Hoyas. Right

there we go. I got a couple. I don't know if they're even in the same conference or whatever, but you know, there's something, there's something there. I'm close. But so you could do that as long as you were doing it at that authority in the state where you reside or in the state where you're placing the bet. But I couldn't say, as a New York resident, call Ohio and say, hey, I want to bet on your I want to bet on your game there right? I mean, is that am I close? Um? Yeah, you're You're on

the right truck, absolutely, And again you you can't. You can't cross state lines at this moment um until unless you are tied directly to that house. So you're right

on that account. And I do want to point out to you for listeners how complex this is in that you mentioned, you know, the gaming commission or who would oversee so certain states have been eyeing the fact that this was in the works, and there are many states that already have legislation approved and ready to go that was contingent upon this being struck down, and they've proposed that there existing gaming commissions or things of the like

will now be amended to oversee sports betting operations as well. There's obviously a lot of profit that is to be made that goes to the state and those individual houses and including sovereign tribes right and casinos in certain states where that applies. I want to say around thirty of them. And the biggest issue here, the biggest con was the preservation or the potential for piercing of the integrity of

the game. And so when you hear a lot of kind of vernacular about this, people have been talking about the propensity for addiction, and obviously there is that, but really it had to do with preserving the game, because that is why that nineteen ninety two while was passed

in the first place. And so that's why now everyone is clamoring to ensure a portion a portion of the profit goes toward what they're calling it's an integrity free And so the irony is that all of these big league and professional sports organizations that have been protesting this the whole time, they've actually been lobbying now for the last six years undercover or I mean, you know, openly, but on the side with the estates can make sure that they get a cut, because they're saying, we are

now the ones that have to put the bill for that integrity. Huh. So what's the interity thing? By the way, they think that if people are allowed to if people are allowed to place bets on games, then people are going to cheat in the games, Like, is that that's what they say? Because can't you place it Ben right now in Vegas? Exactly? Yes you can, and yes that is that is the fear that you know that coaches and players and officials and all of a sudden it

will be one mass of corruption. And how much of this, Emily, I gotta jump in this is important? How much of this is really about Vegas, Atlantic City, a few other places spending a lot of money on lobbying and trying to protect their protect their own prerogatives here by being places where you can actually gamble, you know what I mean? How much of this is actually gambling special interest driven up until this point instead of actually about protecting the game.

Or do you think it really is primarily about just people wanting to protect the game? I don't know, I'm asking.

I think that is the pure intent at the heart of what obviously translates into money, So it all goes to everyone wants to make sure that their best are based on pure principles and that their money will not be rendered vulnerable by other people feeding and by corrupting the game and correcting their gambling, you know, the enjoyment of course, that's like a pure thing, that's the fan thing.

But how it relates becomes a lot more complicated. And I want to point out, because we are all interested in our tax dollars and how money has spent in what things we are obligated for, the states are already taking firm positions over who splits that. See so West Virginia, for example, they're like, absolutely not. Will There's no way our states will folder one red sense of this integrity. See like, absolutely not, that's going to be fully casinos.

A New Jersey says absolutely not. You spent the last six years, you know, bleeding us dry and screwing us in courts, So absolutely not will you even see a red scent at all from us? So it plays into into account as well, like who foots the bill for

the preservation that then protects people's gambling dollars? As you pointed out, how much money do we think is at stake here if this were to go state by state and people and states rather are passing legislation to allow sports betting, I've got a guess it's billions, right, And there's billions of dollars that must be conceivably at play

here because of this ruling. Right, Okay, So the American Gambling Association they have estimated one hundred and fifty billion dollars was spent that spent annually illegally over you know, legally um outsourced because sports betting was illegal here. And in twenty seventeen alone in Nevada, where it's legal, so heart numbers of legal sports betting, we had four point eight billion wagered and then the sports books themselves made

two hundred and forty nine a million. So that's one year, one legal place, and that's you know, that's what we're looking at. You're absolutely right. The point is in the billions and no two for people who aren't as versed in gambling. But sports betting isn't really lucrative for the house. It is more lucrative actually for the fans. So that's an interesting thing too that um it, it pulls into play more than just you know the kind of thing. Right.

I've got to assume though, that the same way that states justify the lottery, which is really actually attacks on many people in the working class. Uh, but they justify by taking the proceeds of lottery. So wherever you are across the country, folks listening. I mean, unless I'm missing it. Maybe it's different in some states, but usually the proceeds the state gets from loattering, at least in theory, goes

toward education, and I know they've done that. I think also with taxes on marijuana in states that have de facto legalized marijuana, it's supposed to go towards schools. I got to assume that now that states have the green light, based on this Supreme Court ruling today Emily, that they're just going to tax the tax that you know what out of sports bets in their states. Right, it's a big source of revenue for the government. And you know that any opportunity for income for the FED or income

for the states. First of all, anything they don't get they call quote lost income, which shows you that any money, any money you bring home, they really consider it that's lost. That's really their income that's lost. That's number one and number two. Yes, and the states have already come out many of them and said specifically, look, this is where all of that faufit dollars, this is where they're going. And you're right, it includes education and it includes global benefits,

benefits for their citizens. So it's certainly not tied only to uh sports or gambling. Um and I agree with you, by the way, that the lottery is a tax on workers. Um. So, yes, you are one hundred percent right. And a lot of the legislation too, by the way, is not it's not set in stone. They say, look, you know this is this is tentative, and then as soon as this small was overturned, which it was today and the implementation, it'll be put in stone and the actual percentage of tax

will be um uh conquertized at that time essentially. So do you think we're going to see just last one for your Emily or speaking to Emily Componu by the way, everyone go to Emily Komponyu dot com for more of her a legal analysis. Are we going to see an explosion of different states that are that are actually going to pass laws here that allow this to become kind

of a new American tradition betting on sporting events. Yes, in the last couple of years, we have states that have already teed it up, ready and waiting to go. So we have New Jersey obviously right away they even fought kiosks already. I mean, everyone is poised and ready to embark. And we have UM six that are ready to go, an additional thirteen that are almost ready to go, and then a couple more that have study bills in place.

So and there by the way, listeners can go online to interactive map where they can see which states are at what stages and yes, it's absolutely an explosion happening. Follow them, they compano on Twitter. Folks, Emily, great to have you, come back soon, Thanks so much, Bucks, See you again so eight four four nine two eight two five. If you want to chat, we are here in the hut. We are ready to rock. Take your calls whenever you like.

UM talk to you about liberal hypocrisy and immigration. That'll be fun. It's always a good topic. We'll enjoy that one. Maybe we'll make fun of college kids who don't know about Obama's Nobel Peace Prize. But I don't know. Maybe we'll see what kind of mood we're in. Then, team and stay with me. Hey, team, We've got some calls coming in. Hey John in Bucks County based on the name clearly God's country, Pennsylvania. John, Great to have you,

Yes it is thanks Bucks. Uh. I just want to say I've been listening to you for a long time since the Blaze, and I'm basically proud that there's somebody out there speaking truths of power like you're you're you're smart, you're funny and andy, and you got a good objective of pinion of stuff. You're very kind, sir, Thank you, well, You're You're welcome. You deserve it. Um. What I wanted

to say was about voting. Um, We're a vote in Pennsylvania tomorrow and I've been watching what's going on with Trump and I hope people that you know, people listen. Is it the primary? John give Can you give us a little just a little primer. What's what's up for tomorrow? You said you're voting. Who's who's running? Who's voting? Well,

there's all kinds of people running. But I'm I'm saying what I'm telling the people that listen to Buck Sex and there's they should get out and vote because I mean, Trump showed that you can, you can get out and you can put some of these people out that are some of these deep state people. I mean, you gotta

you gotta start at the grass roots. You gotta earlier might get out there, and you gotta vote, because I mean, if you look at what's going on, if they can do that to Trump, they can do that to anybody. And well, what they're doing is is just dead ass wrong. Some of the stuff's coming out with that in bed in the in the in the campaign and stuff like that. I mean, yeah, I want I'm gonna I'm gonna drill down to that. People are probably like, Buck, why aren't

you hitting the more today. I'm I'm doing some my deep dive research and you'll probably hit it more tomorrow and the next day. But I do think that they I think that there's a preponderance of the evidence now pointing toward a penetration of the Trump campaign by somebody working on behalf of the FBI and perhaps others in the in the intelligence community. We don't know yet, but we'll look into that. And uh and John, I appreciate

you calling in for Pennsylvania. Thank you, sir. H Yeah, don't think that I've that's off my off my radar. I will certainly be spending more time looking at and thinking about the Muller probe. Be honest with you, folks, I need to stop, as a preface to a sentence, I need to not use that anymore because it makes it sound like, well, unlike the other times, we're being dishonest with you folks, right, let me let me be straight with you here, unlike the other times. No, but

I get Muller fatigue here. And I know so many shows spend so much time on it. I really look, I feel like by the time you get to listen to me, many you know, those you listening live or many of you are listening on the podcast later on, you know, I'm giving you stuff that you haven't heard elsewhere, and hopefully stories you haven't even heard about elsewhere. It's one of the one of the value addeds that I like to have here on the show. So I try

to also mix it up. I mean, today, look, you got to talk about Israel when it's the biggest story in the country. I think you're right what it means the Trump administration. So we certainly do a fair amount of the big news of the day here, but I try to bring other things into the mix as well.

That all set I just also get tired of Muller the whole thing, right, all this and that, this and that, and you know, it's it's certainly a marathon, not a sprint, and it feels sometimes like it's a it's a marathon in slow motion. Right, it's just watching paint dry here with hoping this thing is gonna end sometime soon and I'll look into you know, we wanted to have Kim

Strassel last week. She got super busy because her story on this possible penetration of the Trump campaign became one of the one of the main news narratives in the country unless you're a Democrat, and then it's just Stormy Daniels and you know Russia, or this guy Michael Avanati, who her lawyer, the porn lawyer. This guy is sending around some pretty crazy emails to people the media, threatening them like you can't talk about this or I'm gonna sue you and you better watch out or else. This

guy's a clown. This guy's a real joke. But notice, you know, Cooper and Cuomo and Tapper and matt Ow, and they're all, oh, let's treat this guy like he's he's a real hero of the resistance. You know, they'll they'll treat him with a lot of respect. The guy who's you know, the poor lawyer guy of a Nati and I think he's angling for a show. I really do. I think he thinks he's got to get his own

table news show. I want to talk to you about liberal hypocrisy when it comes to um homelessness, specifically in California and what's going on there. That'll that'll be a story coming up. And then also teen Vogue and Karl Marks, we'll talk about that just a few minutes. Buck Sexton remission to coding the news and disseminating information with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake American, You're a great American. Again. This

is the Buck Sexton Show. CIA analysts. Remember, No, it's about seventy five percent of geographical areas inhabited by twenty five percent of lower income people buy and large so people in this medieval society on the coast, they don't believe in water transfers for agriculture and for poor people, but they surely do for the artificial landscapes in the Bay Area, whether it's het Chechi or the California Water Project. So that attitude is it sort of reverberates throughout California,

and it's a dysfunctional state because of that. There's the middle class about four or five million people have left. We had about four or five million people come illegally from southern Mexico, and we've had an enormous concentration of global wealth in a very small geographical area. And you put all that together and you get what you have now, a dysfunctional state. That was Victor Davis Hansen, one of my favorite contemporary writers, does a great job National View.

I really like his books too, And I had the good fortune to be a wow who I was gonna say, I was out on the West coast. Got that? Who cares about that for now? But he's a really interesting guy, and I really appreciate his analysis a California native of what's going on out there because it is a window into our future. And when I say that it is turning into a stratified socioeconomic society like Latin America, I don't mean in terms of the Latin American population in California.

I mean incredibly wealthy people, period and very very very dependent on the state. Not wealthy people. Right. You have that across much of Latin America. That's the status quo. In Brazil, that's the status quo. In Argentina, that's just the way that it is. And California doesn't have an answer to this problem, really, and I think it's just

going to keep getting worse and worse. But apart from the issue of illegals, where you have a lot of hypocrisy because the liberals who have the money and have a lot of say in what the government is doing in California don't deal with illegals dept in ways that benefit them right there. Their kids aren't going to schools with a lot of illegal immigrants. Their kids aren't or their their neighborhoods tend not to be places where you have, you know, not a lot of illegals in Beverly Hills,

for example, at least not living there. But the homelessness issue, which is separate from the issue of illegal immigrants, is also a place where you see this stratification. I didn't even know this, you know, I was in LA recently a few weeks back, and I told you I love San Diego. La has some great parts that some big drawbacks. But I would drive past these encampments of homeless people and and I mean I mean it looked like occupied Wall Street. I mean tents that are clearly not going

anywhere set up for long term open air living. And I knew that that LA had this problem, but I didn't know until I read this article in the was the Post at the Times that California has a quarter of the entire country's homeless population. Okay, so twenty five percent of all homeless people in the three twenty million person United States are in California, which is pretty stunning. But it's only now becoming an issue because you see a lot of the liberals in the Bay Area, LA

and around really the coasts. The rich people in California live in the coasts. The working class, poor people, legal immigrants, they live more in the interior of California. But the rich people along the coasts are starting to complain about the homeless population because they're actually having It's gotten so bad that they're actually having to deal with it. This is the peace in the Washington Post. As gentrification escalates in California, people wonder where can the homeless go. Well,

let me answer this question. I can't go to you can't go to Malibu, can't go to Orange County, can't go to you know the nicest you know, Santa Monica. Well, actually there's a lot of Homelessessanta Monica. It's a problem because of the beaches, but you know, can't go to a lot of places where the wealthy or congregated. But they don't understand that having the policies they do of

permissiveness for homelessness statewide cause problems for everybody else. Right, Just now you're starting to see some pushback on this because and this is by the way, you see this with schools, You see this with a number of things. These sanctimonious limousine liberals will be there's stands so tall,

they're so into the virtue signal on this stuff. The moment that they actually have skin in the game, the moment that it's hold on a second, you're gonna have to deal with these policies you have advocate for everyone else. They didn't even try to hide the hypocrisy. It just jumps out at you. This is one in particular I'm trying to find. This was in this piece on you know, I think that Malibu is of the most beautiful places

in the whole country. But obviously it's incredibly wealthy liberal enclave, right, But it's a very very beautiful place. If you haven't been Pacific Coast Highway. There's it's worth a drive, It's it's gorgeous. Obviously a very very expensive place to live as well. But here's what this piece says about Malibu. It's a city west of Los Angeles that includes a neighborhood nicknamed Billionaires Beach. But residents have urged a church to stop the weekly dinners at holds for the homeless.

Residents argue that offering charity just attracts more homeless people, and the same thing has happened in other parts of Los Angeles. Oh, you mean that if you if you invite now, the church is different than the state. But if you have state policies that invite in homeless people and tell them that they can live on the streets and they yeah, by the way, this to outbreaks of disease. It's really unsanitary. I'm I'm all for helping the homeless.

I'm not for municipal policies that encourage the homeless to just live out on the city streets, which is what you have in places like la You have these big encampments of tents everywhere, and that's been okay until they want to set up shop in Malibu. Then all of a sudden, liberals start complaining about it until they want

to start, you know, taking over parks. That's, by the way, one of the things you see, park is supposed to be a common space, a shared space right for all people in a neighborhood, anyone even passing through the neighborhood to enjoy. If a park turns into a giant, open air latrine, it is much less enjoyable. I think, call me crazy, but that's what ends up happening in a lot of these. I've heard it's worse sin San Francisco

than any other place in the country. I have friends and family members have been out of the West to specifically a Bay area recently, and they say it's just San Francisco is feeling more and more like a giant, open air homeless shelter. It's not good for the homeless people that are in these encampments, by the way, it's not helpful to them to be in a in a city that you know, gives them all kinds of free services and it really encourages them. I think San Francisco

also gives a has a needle distribution programs. You've got hy hypodermic needles all over the city too now, and they're really ruining these places, folks. And by the way, what is one unifying characteristic of all of these cities, and of course the state of California, It is the Democrat stronghold, the bluest of the blue, as left wing,

as progressive as it gets. At least New York City progressivism has a bit there's a bit more of a of an attachment to capitalism as a general concept, you know, because the Wall Street and all that stuff out in the progress out in the West Coast that progresses. Man, it's there. They're even in a whole other level. I think. Oh, here's another one. This is when all of a sudden, the problem of mass homelessness. Liberals start to pay attention

when it is literally in their backyard. Right, when it's your backyard, How could you be so mean? Why don't you want to help the less fortunate? Oh? But when all of a sudden it means that they're celebrated cultural edifices are under assault, then there's a problem. Here's what

this piece says. There's a fire last fall that threatened the Getty Museum because a fire started in a hillside homeless encampment, which drew calls from some of the richest Los Angeles neighborhoods for the government to do more to address the issue. Downtown business is also burned as a result of cooking fires that got out of control in

homeless enclaves. This stuff is dangerous. Let's you get a homeless man walk into a steakhouse in Ventura in Los Angeles and stab a thirty five year old man as he ate dinner with his f five year old daughter sitting in his lap. Folks, okay. Allowing for widespread systematic homelessness on the streets without a city program to address it and deal with it right away is a big problem.

I saw this in New York City. There was and in my neighborhood on the East side of New York growing up as a kid, there was an open air homeless shelter that was being operated right a block away from my church, and not by the church, by the way, by a bunch of Democrat politicians wanted to look like they were being so nice. You know what. It was loud,

it was unsanitary, it was dangerous. Maybe now the liberals are starting to wake up because the loudness and the lack of sanitary conditions, and the danger is getting close enough to them. But you know, maybe they should also think there's some ideas we should revisit here about being a bleeding hard progressive just maybe, just maybe we'll be right back. So the left has some weird heroes. I don't mean today. I don't mean like Sarah Silverman, who's

neither funny nor charming nor interesting. I mean historically too. I mean you will see people walking down the street progressives who think of themselves as very socially conscious, woke in the parlance of our times. They're so woke, and they will, whether they believe it or not, virtue signal by tying themselves to symbols of the wicket. You see this with Chekavara, for example, Ernesto Guivara. We all call him cha Chay just means dude. It's the nickname like Buck.

Two points everybody, what's my real name? Some of your yelling James, and you're correct, But Ernesto che Guevara, Buck is my middle name, so that counts. Is somebody you'll see emblazoned on T shirts and they they won't know about his his authoritarianism, his brutality, his feelings towards what should be done to uh to gaze. He was a terrible fellow. I mean, Guivara was a really bad guy.

But he's a revolutionary. And there's a picture of him where he looks like kind of a handsome Brooklyn hipster and so bam his face is on things. But you don't usually see a hipsterization of Karl Marx among the pop culture set, but sometimes it happens, And now we've got an example of that, courtesy of teen Vogue. So like,

am I got ask like whatever? Because like if I just like listen to Aria Grande, like, I feel like I'll get like the bath sense of like hopital and like what's going on in the world because she like south Thumb and a sad as. The usage, the the overuse of like in speech is one of the things that we should all work to eradicate. And I will tell you I know some lots of very smart people who like just like just like they'll like talk like just like this like all like day. It needs to stop.

It is bad. It's a habit, it is learned, and we need I know, this is a very get off my long thing. But you all have to agree with me as I said to you. Everyone should feel comfortable pausing. I do it all the time here on the show. I'm also speaking for three hours at a time. But everyone should feel comfortable pausing as they speak and not like feel like they have to like feel like every like pause like because like oh my anyway, so like commrqus.

Back to teen Vogue, hairs an article and the title as who is all Marks made the anti capitalist scholar? That communist scholars ideas are more prevalent you might realize in teen Vogue And they go on to say this, this author in teen Vogue, which I didn't even really know was a thing, goes on to actually give some information about Marks. I'm like, you know, she has access to Wikipedia. That's good, so talking about the communist manifesto and socialism and labor and ye, there's a little bit

of information in here. So I can't say that it's a total loss, because I'm sure there's some girls who are like, oh my gosh, like why is Santa Claus like writing about political things? It's like, it's not Santa Claus, honey, it's Krawl Marks close enough, though, Like what I've heard us he bring presents. Well, actually, in fact there's uh that's that's kind of part of the appeal of socialism is the promise that you're gonna get lots of free

goodies in presidents. But it doesn't work out that way. So in a sense, all Marks is an evil Santa clause, he's Santa, but there aren't any actual presence. He's Santa who takes presence from you. But this piece goes on to then, after laying out some of the very basics about the proletariat and the bourgeoisie, goes in to say

things like like this quote. Some examples of violence that aided in the establishment of capitalism in the United States include stealing the land of indigenous people and trafficking Africans through slavery end quote. So now we're gonna look at capitalism as anything bad that has happened during the period that capitalism has existed. Like, let's pick the worst stuff and blame that on capitalism, even if it has nothing to do per se with the economic system of capitalism.

And see, this is polluting the minds of the youth. My friends. Socrates got in trouble for this. But teen Vogue is actually doing it. You mean Socrates as an aside. I saw over the weekend. I saw Bill and Ted's excellent ADVENTURER Bogus excellent, And you know, Keanu Reeves is one of my favorite actors. I'll say that. So I have a particular place place in my heart for Bill and Ted's excellent adventure Bogus. Journey was just like not

not good enough. It was it was. It was bogus. Obviously, it's a well named movie in that the journey in the second one was was bogus. But there's more in this teen Vogue piece that I find troubling because I assume that only I can't imagine anyone who's not a teenage girl reads teen Vogue. I could be wrong, but

there are things like this in this piece. While you may not necessarily identify as a Marxist, socialist or communist, you can still use Karl Marx's ideas to use history and class struggle to better understand how the current socio political climate came to be. Instead of looking at President Donald Trump's victory as a snapshot, we can turn to the bigger picture of what led up to the current moment. So Yeah, you can use Marx's ideas to better understand

the current socio political climate in America. I guess that's somehow technically true, and that learning things means that you'll know more about other things as you learn them. But I don't think that Marx and his theories are particularly

useful for understanding this moment in time in this country. Plus, like Marx, like if you give back and you look at like the history of like mark them, like there's not a lot of like really fancy designers in communist countries, like kind of thing that communist countries have really bad

designers if you look at the photos. See, I want to scare the youth away from communism, so I want to tell them about things like that, like the cars were like really ugly and like slow and not like there were no beamers in like communist countries, like not like fancy ones at least stuff like that. Yeah, So if teen Vogue is going to get in on this game, I feel like we need to do our part and disabuse the youth of thinking that that Marx is cool.

But what was it mark the two hundredth anniversary of Yeah it's too I'm sorry. Yeah, the two hundredth birthday of Karl Marx was May fifth. That was why this

is getting getting some traction. Oh and maybe it will be good just asn't a side, Maybe it will be good to include in this piece about Marxism in teen Vogue some discussion of the hundreds of millions who were killed as a result of this guy's terrible ideas that negate basic human nature and their for dignity, and the billions of people throughout history who have been enslaved as a result of these terrible ideas. That also might be nice to throw into this Team Vogue article on Karl Mark.

But like, happy birthday, Carl, you're like two hundred, that's like foe all like lmg, he's back with you now, because when it comes to the fight for truth, the fuck never stops. Team. Whenever I see something online and I think is really worthwhile, I try and share it with you, even if it's has nothing to do with the news. And I wanted to tell you about this one.

This was off of a Twitter thread. Usually you don't find a lot of wisdom on Twitter, or a lot of things that inspire you pull at your heart strength. This one, though, I thought was worth sharing with you, in particulars from a father. Goyo was a Catholic priest, and here's what he shared. Meet Estella and Nicholas today they got married. For anyone else, this would just be a picture of a normal wedding day. But for these

two there is much more than meets the eye. For them, this is a story of the triumph of love and hope. There's a nice photo of Nicholas and Estella looking very lovely on their wedding day. Father Goya writes, three weeks ago, I was approached by someone at my parish. Father, there's a couple who wants to get married. I'm glad to hear it. I said, tell them to call me and we will set up a meeting. Well, she said, this is the thing. They're in the hospital. Could you come

see them please. I went to visit them, only to find out that Estella Abut, twenty six year old woman, had cancer that had spread all over her body. Doctors gave her a limited time of life. I saw her husband to be by her side with a sad smile in his eyes, asking me for hope and a miracle. I didn't know what to say. I can't perform miracles. But I listened and I did what I do best. I put a smile on Estella's face. Her smile brightened

the room like I've never seen before. Yes, I told her when she asked me about her wedding, I will do the wedding. I went back home very sad. I never take the hard cases home with me in the hospitals, but this was different. I couldn't shake it off. Plus, I've never done an emergency wedding, so the nerves were pretty bad. Now I had to prepare for something I myself wasn't ready for. We agreed we would do a private wedding since she couldn't move much and had tons

of needles. I would come to the room along with the witnesses and some family members. I'm not gonna lie. I felt really nervous. This is something they don't teach in seminary. The day came, I took my alb stole and ritual book, my holy water, of course, and I decided to stop at the store to buy her some flowers, since I didn't expect her to have many. I already told friends to make her feel like a bride and to put in a suit, I said for her groom. I drove to the hospital. When I got there, I

couldn't believe what I saw. Sixty people were waiting, including doctors and her nurses. Estella felt so much better that the wedding would take place in the chapel, and she looked so beautiful and full of life. And there is a photo that he attaches of Estella looking absolutely splendid on her wedding day. Father writes, I gave her the biquet of white roses, and smiling timidly, she said, thank you, father, this is the dream of my life. I never thought I could do it before my life was over. I

am telling you. I had to summon all my strength not to cry, so I just smiled back and helped her up. I accompanied both groom and bride to the chapel, which was packed before we started. I'd never paid so much attention to those vows. I take you for better and worse in sickness and health, till death do us part. At this point, the sniffles and the tears were louder than music. Staff of the hospital were amazing. They prepared a surprise reception in less than twenty four hours. Then

the groom said to me, thank you Father. All I wanted was for God to bless my love for her, and it happened. I don't know what the future has for Estella Nicholas. I don't know what will happen tomorrow. But today they enjoyed the miracle of love that gives

strength to the sick. Today, hope, faith, and love. One and one more day, we all gave thanks to God so they experience the love that conquers the hopeless heart, sadness and suffering, the love that brings tears of joy in health and illness, till death breaks the earthly bond. My dear friends, I love being part of your witness, Estella and Nicholas. God loves you. From Father Goya. Time to spread some freedom coast to coast. He's a lean, mean analysis machine. Team Buck, it's time for roll call.

I don't even know how I would characterize that music we just played. It feels like it's it's multiple genres. It's kind of like aggressive elevator music. You know, it's it's the music where you're you're not supposed to hear it, but for a second you might catch yourself like ooh, I gotta sway those hips side to side with this elevator music. I hope you all had a great Mother's Day. I made my now world famous thanks to the Stephen Colbert Show and my world famous eggs, which I will say,

we're delicious. The eggs I nailed because I make eggs almost every day, and I can tell you that I'm actually leaner and in better health now than I was when I used to eat like a big bowl of special K to start my day. That was also before I knew I had Celiac disease. But I'm not gonna lie to you because I did not manage to nail everything. We had a great Mother's Day brunch. I was with my siblings, my two awesome brothers, my amazing little sis,

and my parents, Mom and Dad. And you know, we made mom because we have a great mom a a very nice Mother's Day brunch I nailed. I nailed the bacon. I got thick cut bacon from Italy in New York City, which is this Italian kind of a gourmet Italian mall if it's like a big super food store. But I got the thick cut bait. I mean, you can really taste the pork. It's really phenomenal. And that came out very well, and the eggs came out very well. And I got some roast potatoes too. I thought I would

flash fry. This is where this is where I went wrong. I thought I would flash fry the roast potatoes. And sure enough they didn't get so much flash flash fried as flash soggy. And yeah, it wasn't really the all time best move that I've ever pulled off. What idiot? Oh what a loser? Good good more for me and you. But other than that, everything was great. We had a really good time, really enjoyed ourselves. And there you have it,

and I hope you had a great time too. Let's get into a roll call Facebook dot com slash Buck Sexton if you want to send me your thoughts. Also official Team Buck at gmail dot com. One bit of business, I actually have to put off the announcement about why I'm in the swamp for one more week. It's not up to meet team. What can I tell you? One more week and then we can announce and we will be good to go. It's exciting stuff, that much, I can tell you. All Right. First, up here we have Sterling,

who writes buck Love the show. Your analysis is the best out there. Something I noticed when considering the differences between the investigations of the Clintons her classified server and emails, and the Trump investigation. Didn't they offer immunity to almost everyone they talked to in the Hillary investigation, and their justification was that they just wanted to get to the truth. Has anyone in the Trump campaign or administration been offered immunity?

You know, Sterling, this is a great point. It's one I've made before on the show in different ways, and I appreciate you raising it once again. And it's really the disparity that we see from the prosecutors on the investigators and prosecutors on the one side with the Clintons

versus the way it's going on with Trump. They gave not just every benefit of the doubt, but really bent over backwards trying to make sure that there was no way that anyone could run a foul of a process charge, right of lying under oath, or obstruction or destruction of evidence or any of that with the Hillary probe, And on the Trump side of the equation, they are doing everything in their power to make sure that they can get people for those reasons. You know, the show Billions

is pretty good in a lot of ways. Some stuff is a little over the top. It's a showtime show. I was watching it this past weekend, and you know, it's it's one of these shows where you finally see that prosecutors. Prosecutors are not, in fact these paragons of virtue who do not in any way have politics influencing or thinking. You know, you see in Billions a guy who is trying to become governor spoiler alert, sorry, but who's doing all sorts of political machinations behind the scenes,

including those that benefit him specifically. Really interesting from a recent episode, by the way, was this is a total asside. But since I was talking about food and cooking before, they eat something called an ortolan on the show, and I will be honest with you, I had never heard of this before. So an ortolan is a delicacy. This became popular in well they say it was popular even an ancient Rome, but it certainly is still something that

is liked by a certain contingent in France. It's an ordolon is a songbird and what they do and by the way, it's illegal to eat it, and it's considered a great mark of elitism if you ever get the chance to eat it. So an ordolon is this songbird. And when you eat it, you cover your head, and this was all on the show. You cover your head in a white napkin, a white cloth, the idea being to shield yourself from God. That's kind of the the

lore behind it. Other people say it's actually just so you have the vapors, the sense of the food, the smells that come together, or it's you know, you enjoy it more if you have this nap over your head. But so, this is just a song bird that they keep in darkness and or they blind it. Actually it's a little bird and then it gorges on grains and grapes.

It becomes incredibly fat, and then it is a thrown alive into a vat of armagnac brandy, so it you drown the bird in brandy, which then of course also marinates the bird after you've made it insanely fat, and then you eat the whole thing, kind of like a soft shell crab. And it's called an ortolan. And this is illegal everywhere. Now they're protected. In fact, the birds are protected. They eat it on the show Billions, though, because it's now considered a super secret elitist thing to

do anyway, So I learned about ortolans from Billions. But more importantly, with prosecutors, you see that they are very political, and you get a sense of that from the show we have. Next up here, Vicky, who writes Shield's Hi, this is why God in Heaven chose Donald Trump to become president, to clean house with all the lies and corruption going on for decades. We all knew it, and even some on the other side knew it, but we're not able to speak, and probably because lives were in danger.

This is a great and scary time to be alive and aware of the business in DC. Keep up the good work, Vicky. Well, Vicky, thank you so much. Appreciate the words of support, and thank you so much for writing it on Roll Call. Next up, Ryan who writes, Hey, Buck, I love your show listening in via podcast. Could you post a list of your sponsors and associated codes somewhere on your show site? Thanks and Shield's high Ryan. Ryan. It's very kind of you, and it is really important. Folks.

Whenever you hear me talking about our sponsors, remember those are companies that like my show, like what I'm doing, appreciate the work and effort that goes into this, and so it really is a partnership. And when you use that promo code, you get a discount, which is great, but it's also a way of casting a vote for the freedom hunt for this show. The Buck Sexton Show is what it's actually called. But that's it's really important. It really helps. It means a lot. And these are

when I tell you about my sponsors. I mean, I drink black Rifle all the time. I'm actually gonna get black Rifle sent to my new office here in DC as well as at home. So I'm all about it. If you're somebody who runs a company and you want someone to do background investigation services for you, or just background or just background and vetting in general, global verification, I know the CEO, it's a company of great guys. But when you call them, we don't have a promo code.

Just tell them you know, we learned about you in the Buck Sexton Show. That stuff makes all the difference, it really does. And you know we do this show. It's obviously free for all of the listeners. But if you can see your way, see your way fit to do so. Please check out our sponsors, use our promo code, spread the word, tell people that you heard about it here. It means a lot. It means a lot to me. Thank you so much. So oh, Buck fifty for a black rifle. By the way, Buck one five. So next

up here. We have so many good callers, so much fun, Joshua. When I say callers, I mean writers. Pardon me. Hey there, Buck, big fan United States Marine Corps Active. I'm a fan of yours. And Joe Rogans would like to see you on his show or vice versa. He's got a really negative opinion on Trump, and I get that Trump is not perfect, but I'd like to see you set Rogan straight and maybe help him see the light a little. Anyways,

take care and shields high ps. I love Rogan, but his Trump bashing is over the line and just drives me insane. Well, Joshua, first of all, thank you for your service. I'm always especially honored to have such a a fantastic contingent of active and former US military listening into this program. We really have. It's a core look, it's a core audience for US. I like to think it's just because of the content. Maybe it's also because

I have a little bit of a richer understanding. I think of what a lot of the military goes through, having lived for long stretches of time on military basis here and abroad, having spent a lot of time in some of the diciers parts of the globe, a Rock and Afghanistan notably. So that's one other place that I think we or one other way that we can connect. As to Rogan, I'd love to do a show. And you know what's actually something that for those of you

who are so interested. I take guest singestions from all of you. When you email me or you send me a note on Facebook, you say, hey, check this guy out or this gal out. I looked them up and if we have a way of working them into the show. I've brought on lots of guests because of audience request. So if you want me to do the Joe Rogan Show, and you're a constant listener or you know, a frequent listener to the show, reach out to Joe say hey, you should have bucks X, then on you'd be surprised.

You might be like, yeah, you know what that x CIA analyst dude with the poofy hair. I'll give him a shot. You know, we'll talk about some stuff, so I'd be happy to do a show. I think Joe does some really interesting work. And Joshua, thank you so much for the suggestion. Let's see here. Bryce has been writing here. He writes, I've been trying to think of something worthwhile, but to no avail. I have a question though in your opening sequence there are two most Morse

code letters. Is there some meaning to this? I would have expected BS, not BG, Shields High, Bryce, Bryce, I have no idea, man, I don't know Morse code. I'm not gonna lie to you.
