Border Security: Clear and Present 'Difference'

away as a big problem. We'll dive into what's really going on here, including a piece on the Hill dot Com written by yours truly that makes sense of all this stuff and much more coming up on The buck Sexton Show. This is the buck Sexton Show, where the mission or mission is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake America, You're a great American Again.

The buck Sexton Show begins. Set analysts. Today, I sent a letter to state and local leaders across our nation asking them to pledge their full support and cooperation with the officers and agents of ICE and CBC. Sadly in recent months, incredibly, I have to say, incredibly, a coalition of open borders extremists, and to me, that means crime. People that don't mind crime, they mind it when it happens to them. They don't mind it when they have

to watch it on television. Have waged an unprecedented assault on American law enforcement, our greatest people, threatening ice and Border Patrol for performing their duties admirably and for defending our country from horrible people and horrible, horrible events and crimes.

Welcome to the buck Sex and show everybody. He had President Trump today establishing a very clear difference between his administration and how the Republican Party views immigrations and customs enforcement and customs and border patrol essentially law enforcement as it pertains to US borders and immigration. And this administration and this president are supportive of those agents and officers.

This administration believes in their mission, which I would note isn't just an opinion, it's also supported by the law. These are agents of the state. Usually, Democrats love agents of the state, especially when they're you know, they're they're tax collectors, regulators, people like that. You know, people that come and tell a small business what what they can and can't do, what they're heating ducts in a certain area.

Democrats love those kinds of government agents. But the people who work for our federal government, who are trying to stop drug smugglers, human traffickers, cartel members, cartel hitmen from coming in the United States. They have a disdain for them. Democrats have been throwing them under the bus. And Trump today held this rally that I think or held this meeting rather that really established for all to see what

that difference is. And I'm glad that we have a president is finally saying that Democrats are really four open borders. They won't say it, they don't have the courage of their convictions to be honest on this, but they do want open borders. They just don't want that to be the law. They want that to be the reality. This is a question you should ask the next time you

are engaging in this debate. If you do, the next time you have an opportunity to talk to somebody about this who feels differently from you on it, asked them, say, hold on a second, explain the following to me. Why is it that everything that I hear from Democrats about immigration, everything I hear from them about illegal immigration specifically, is that it's good, that it's part of the American dream,

there's no downside. And then you should ask them, well, then why shouldn't we just why shouldn't we be open borders. If you refuse to concede that illegal immigrants oppose a crime problem, if you refuse to believe it they are a a drain on public resources, that there's really a a large scale theft going on, uh from taxpayers to illegal immigrants. If you refuse all of that, and then you don't even think it affects the political culture of

this country. Because keep in mind, folks, we have millions and millions of illegal immigrants that are coming in from certain countries that are part of a contiguous land mass with the United States. This is different. Even national security analysts will tell you this is not just immigration from all over the world and people come here. This is immigration from right next door. And historically this tends not to work out well. This usually aids to secessionists and

separatist movements. Oh, I know, no one even thinks about that. Now, Well, give it time, give it a hundred years. What do we think that will look like. I'm not worried about people from from Italy or you know, from Rome or from Shanghai wanting to know, rejoin their former country. But I wonder at this rate. What does the future look like of the U. S. Mexico border. We assume it is static, but history tells us it's not. Not even ancient history, Okay, not that long ago, go back a

few generations. So there's no honesty from Democrats about this issue at all. They just pander and do a lot of virtue signaling dressed up as a sound thinking on policy. And Trump knows that immigration is a weak point for Democrats. The American people are not with the left on immigration. They're just not playli this new wave of anti borders, anti law enforcement, extremism and shameful, dangerous. It's horrible in every way, and it's going to stop. It's going to

stop right now. It's gonna stop today. We slowed it down, now we're stopping it. We will never surrender our nation to the forces of anarchy and chaos and crime. And I think we're gonna do very well in the midterms. And this is one of the very big reason. The fact is people respect law and order and they love our law enforcement. And I think we're going to have much more of a red wave than what you're going to see as a phony blue wave. Blue wave means

crime it means open borders not good. We will not stand for the vile smears, the hateful attacks, and the vicious assaults on the courageous men and women of ice and border patrol and law enforcement. So the in and is making a pretty clear case here about what's the difference in Republicans and Democrats on the border. I think it's very important that we all hear it, that we

all know it. But but there's also this story that broke over the weekend, and I gotta tell you, I try not to spend too much time um on social media over the weekends. You know, we all need to disengage and and step back, right, we all should, We

all should do that. But I saw this story about about immigrations and customs enforcement on video no less, right, So there's gonna be there's gonna be video of this and everybody can see and how they swooped in and arrested it's so terrible, arrested this man taking his wife to the hospital to deliver a baby. And we were

supposed to react to this with shock and outrage. Of course, the heartless immigrations and Customs enforcement agents are out there doing this terrible work of enforcing the law, and they, you know, they they stopped this man from being there for the birth of his baby and all this other stuff. And then by the way, this was picked up, I was picked up by a lot of major news outlets all over the place. You know, they're they're all running with this story, ABC, CNN. And then we find out

some additional details of this. This was in San Bernardino, California, over the weekend. We find out that sure enough, this individual who was arrested that we were supposed to be deeply concerned about, and we were supposed to really be worried about, what a terrible injustice, what a tragedy has befall in this country when you have somebody like this arrested on their way to the hospital. No less, it's just unthinkable, so terrible. But then we find out a

bit more. It turns out this man who they were saying is just unjustly, unjustly grabbed right Joel our Rowna Laura, thirty six years old. UM He was, according to Immigration the Customs Enforcement wanted on a warrant for murder. And also, by the way, his wife, who was pregnant, on the

way to the hospital to have her fifth child. Uh was having a ces arean section, which means that it was a scheduled procedure, so you know she was gonna be able to get to the hospital, folks, right, I mean, this is not It's not like the baby was The baby was was, you know, happening at the gas station where he was arrested. She was on her way to hospital for an appointment. They found this guy. They think

he's wanted for murder, and so they arrest him. And you see how this played out by the way I saw one journalist One Blue Check journal tweeted out, I used arrested a California man on Wednesday when he stopped for gas while driving his wife to the hospital for her C section. She ended up driving yourself to the rest the rest of the way, giving birth alone twenty three thousand retweets, and then he added this update. I said Monday, this man was arrested because of a homicide

warrant for him in Mexico. I just didn't mention this in its comments to meeting yesterday. His lawyer denized there are such charges. No details from Ice two forty two retweets. When I when I saw this earlier today, So over twenty retweets of oh my gosh, look at this guy's been grabbed. It so terrible. Ice is so heartless. Two, it's like, well, actually they thought he was a murderer. I think she thought this guy was dangerous. Right, murderers

are dangerous. You want to take them off the street. And the media narrative very quickly fell apart here, right, all of a sudden, that was not really a story they were very focused on. But I want to take this. Oh there's also this point they make of how I said in their initial statement that no one has shield You know, if you're here illegally, you can be deported. No one shielded from deportation, whether you're on the way to the hospital or whatever. I mean, if if they

detain you, they detain you. Right by the way, police busted into Metaphorts home at six o'clock or five o'clock in the morning, right, and police come at very inopportune times. Years ago, there was a an n S a whistle blowerer, remember the case. They came in and pulled him out of the shower with MP five's drawn. They sent in a swat team to grab that guy. By the way, you know when he ended up getting a for jail time, nothing, got probation for a misdemeanor, didn't even he didn't do anything,

released unclassified information that the government didn't like. But that's a conversation for another time. Yeah, that's right. Law enforcementill take you at at inconvenient times. They'll do that for citizens. By the way, they do that for all of us. Right, if they have to arrest, if it's if they have to execute it, arrest, you're getting arrested. There's not this like, oh, well, you know I'm on the way to get coffee or you know, I got a doctor's appointment. Can you arrest

me later. That's not how it works. And what they're saying here what Immigrations a Custom Enforcement initially said was well, yeah, we're deporting this guy. He's got a deportation order out on him. And and the media said, oh my gosh, it's so heartless and terrible. And then we found out that there's a murder warrant. And now people are saying, well, no, there's not a murder world. Well guess what if if that was information Ice had, they have to act on it. Right,

if Mexico has some mess up in their system. It's not our federal officers faults. They're they're doing their job. They think they're taking a murderer off the street. They should be praised for this. Then there's one other point, and this is the biggest one, and this goes right to the heart of why people really want to hear from from Trump on this and why his message on

this issue is so very, very important. Why was this even a national news story that this man was detained by Immigrations and Customers Enforcement If he were not an illegal alien, which he was right, if you were not an illegal alien, if he were just a guy wanted on an outstanding drug warrant, wanted on an assault charge, and he were on his way to the hospital with his wife, would this have been a news story period? I don't mean a national level, front page weekend news story,

which is what this was treated as. I mean, would anybody in the media care at all? Well, you know the answer is no. This then brings me to what they really don't want you to think about. But you already know this is the case. They just try to skip past this. It's not only that illegal aliens in

this country get special treatment from the media. It's also that the media expects that illegal aliens will given be given special legal treatment too, that they shouldn't be held responsible the same way that others are for illegal acts, because they have been put in a very difficult situation, you know, because law enforcement is hounding them. So the forgeries they commit, the social Security card for all that they commit, all these different things, you know, that's that's

not their fault. That's our fault, you see, because we've put them in that situation. The media in this country and the Democratic Party with them, don't just believe the legal aliens should be allowed to stay. They think illegal aliens in this country should have extra rights over citizens, and that they deserve more attention and more sympathy. Illegal aliens are more deserving of sympathy than the media's fellow Americans. That's what they really believe. Otherwise, how do you explain

this story? How do you explain that this was treated as an urgent matter for all of us to spend so much time on. It doesn't make any sense unless you put it into that context. Then all of a sudden it does eight four four nine to eight to five eight four four nine, Buck, We've got a lot on the security clearance uh pol fiasco. Today We're gonna be also free speech bill maher Jack Dorsey saying that

Twitter does discriminate in favor of leftist idea pology. I mean, I got a jam packed show for all of you show uh oh. And also the social justice mob dragged a friend of mine or a former classmate of mine. I should say, We'll get to that in more coming up. I want to bring up from five thirty our friends at five thirty to put out their first forecast for

the mid term elections. And they say that Democrats have a three and four chance to win control of the House, Republicans have a one in four chance to keep control in the House, and Jason, it's a very qualified forecast right there. They're just saying this is these are probabilities, not predictions, uh in in any way. But this corresponds to what we're seeing from other experts. There's no red wave that the president. No, I think that's we're still

thinking on some part. Every factor seems to point that Democrats are going to take the House. The president's low approval ratings, which are at the point where every president has lost the House when name would lost the House or lost one of their chapters. That was doubd who if I played you, he's an ABC analyst. If I played you as predictions from the Trump election, you would laugh really hard because everything he said at every point of that was pretty much wrong. But the whole panel,

they've noticed that. They're all very dismissive. I just a little trip down memory lane based on where the polling was two years ago. Folks played John only into this night, where do we stand? This is where we stood coming into the night to to two oh four. So clearly an advantage for Secretary Clinton. So right now we have Hillary is about a seventy five or favorite. We have

different first past. You can look at Hillary Clinton up by double nidgets nationally twelve points fifty thirty eight, full way race, Clinton leading in Florida, Clinton leading in North Carolina, Clinton leading in Ohio, Clinton leading in Nevada. I could go on and on and on, but said, basically, this is the beginning of the end for Trump. At the beginning of the end, the beginning of the ends, is probably starting of the beginning of the end for for

Donald Trump. Mr Trump, to answer your call for political honesty, I just want to say, you're not going to be president. All right. They're not popping the champagne corks as yet, but they probably are thinking about how good it might taste. Anderson, this night is turning out to be a real nailed by. Donald Trump will carry the state of Florida. Were a major projection. Right now it's Donald Trump will say, pretty dramatic change in your forecast. Now, well, it's not about

our forecast. Well, my crystal ball has been shattered into atoms here because I predicted the exact opposite of what happened. Well, if the scene here is so different than it was a few hours ago, when people were happy and relaxed, I have been looking around the room and people who are stone faced, some of them have been crying. Everybody is crying and so and it is the end. Everybody is crying. It is a morning moment for for those people. Uh, and it is it is woman filled with fear. How

do we explain how this is possible? How did this happen? Donald Trump will be the President of the United States thirty Keep you waiting, complicated business folks. I gotta tell you, man that anytime I'm having a bad day, I just need to listen to that, that whole that whole cycle again. There. It's amazing, isn't it? Election night? Wow? Incredible, incredible stuff. It was incredible. Just just remember that. Well, all the all the smug politicos. I'm not saying they're gonna be wrong.

I'm just saying their smugness has not in any way gone down since they were incredibly wrong about the last national election in the Trump era. So we'll see, folks, it ain't over until the lady sings. He's holding the line for America, Buck Sexton, his back. For these people that want to question why we do what we do. The first people need to look in the mirrors Congress. Congress had had ability to fix us, and they didn't fix it. So the fault lines at their feet first.

This is why he's a great president. He talks to talk and he walks a walk. I've been with the President of numerous town hall meetings where he meets with the frontline law enforcement folks that the folks that wear that keval arvest every day and enforce laws. You know, he's staying shoulder to shoulder with him and what he's doing is right for America. What he's doing is right for border security. And as far as the political puns want to continue to vilify ICE officers, I find it.

I find a un American that you would want to attack a law enforcement officer for merely doing their job enforcing the laws that Congress enacted. I mean, what does this come to. I mean, I'm glad this is happening. I'm glad that Left is finally shown that they want open borders. I think it's gonna help. I think it's gonna help in November. I really do. I totally agree with Thomas Holman, their former UH ICE director. He's he's completely right. You know, the Democrats are exposing themselves for

who they really are, and that's good. We should know. I want the American people to know. I want them to know that this is what Democrats are really all about. I want them to know that this is how Democrats view our customs and border patrol, of you, our immigration enforcement agents. And I think it might have a real

impact in the mid terms. You know, because because the Democrats have have deluded themselves into thinking that the country is with them on on immigration, they run all these polls. You know, do you think immigration is good for America, do you you know? No, no, no, no no, no, that's really an issue here, folks. What is it issue is should the laws of this country be enforced? Why is it that the laws against you? And this goes back to how they illegal aliens have special rights in the

eyes of the media. Why should the laws against you be enforced without exception? Right? Why should Papadopolis be facing six months in prison for a lie about a non crime but immigrated? Shouldn't offenses are not punished at all? Explain that to me. I can think of a whole a whole bunch of different offenses that have been in the media recently. You know, why should why should Manafort be facing decades in prison for not paying money on his taxes? Okay? Telling me has to pay the money

and a fine, decades in prison? Oh buck? The law is the law? Well, okay, the law is law. Who who exactly suffers because Manaford hid this money? By the way, Michael Cohen is expected to be facing charges any moment now. I'm seeing the wire hit just as we're on the show. Not for Russia collusion, collusion, who's collusion? But for a tax scheme involving taxis a taxi tax scheme. Okay, Now you may say, Bucky, and everyone's gonna pay their taxes.

I agree, But should should the sanctions really be that severe? Should people lose their freedom and go to prison for a tax issue? Because and people say me, well, Buck, that's the law. All I said, Well, who's really suffered because of what they've done? Where is the victim? Or the victim is the government? And therefore they said, the

victim is all of us? But is it really so severe? Well, what about being in this country illegally accessing federal services, illegally engaging in forgery, engaging in document fraud, engaging in and you know, not filing a tax return and being in this country? Oh, that's right. They don't file tax returns generally speaking, do they? And if they did, keep in mind, a lot of them would be getting payments from the government because a lot of illegal aliens don't

make enough money to pay federal income taxes. But those laws don't get enforced. The law is the law until it's not. With Democrats, that's one thing that we've seen, and certainly on immigration, and it's because they view it as a path to permanent power. That's what's It's not about one election for Democrats. Amnesty and continued inflows of illegal aliens from developing in third world countries is all about power for the Democrat Party. It's just what it is,

so we might as well call it out. I'm glad that former ICE director Homeman is willing to say it. And he also you notice how how he attacked the political pundit class to which is something we all should be very comfortable doing at this point, because they do. They run their mouths about this stuff. They act like they've got answers and they know they know what really should be done. And you know, meanwhile, they're not honest

about immigration. They don't know anything abou immigration, and they won't debate the issue publicly. They've got people running around yelling abolish Ice, Abolish ICE like a bunch of mincompoops, including sitting senators Kirsten gila Brand is saying that I should be abolished too. This is a sitting senator who wants to eliminate a law enforcement agency that is absolutely necessary for this country. Well, what are we gonna do.

We're just gonna oh, that's right, We're gonna go open borders, and that isn't a that that's an applause line for Democrats tells you a lot. But a lot of the Democrats applause lines these days give you not just a window into their mindset, but really a window into their soul. The political pundit class Homan clearly has some animus towards them. Here is a I want to play this full exchange

for you. This is from MSNBC, which you'll notice. I tend to lay off MSNBC because everyone knows their left, their Democrats right. It's a Democrat channel four by and of progressives. That's what it is. I think they're wrong about everything, but at least they're honest about who they are at some level. At some level, I mean, NBC's politics really are any different from msnbc s. But maybe

that's a conversation for another time. CNN I have a problem with because the whole the whole thing is a fraud. It's dishonest. It's an anti Trump channel. It's an anti Republican channel now as well, because Trump and the Republican Party have become one. Uh. But here's a here's a pretty good example of what passes for analysis. At MSNBC. Again, this is the most vocal president, at least in real time, that we've had in recent memory. Right, he is the

leader of the free world. No he's not. He's not the leader of the free world. But sorry, by default is the leader of the free worlds leader of the free world. But well, he is the most important person in in the world in politics right now, and he is very vocal. And I do agree with you that this does express a level of exasperation among his aids. Stop for one second, notice how this analyst. You know, he's not the leader of the free world. This is like,

he's not my president. Not my president. This is the Trumps arrangement delusion. The leader of the free world is a title that we all give to the President United States. Okay, Angela Merkel is a no position to lead the free world. Angela Merkel was your to to borrow from. I think it was Ross douth It in the New York Times. She was European far right nationalisms woman of the Year. In her whole experiment of let's bring in a million people from the Muslim world who are refugees and see

what happens did not work out well. In fact, in a lot of ways, Brexit and trumps um are tied to the fiasco of mircalism. Corton talk, yeah, Mercanism, it's so much fun to talk about ZIMRCA. But this analyst that MSNBC says that she's the leader of the free will you know this is this is part of the mindset that they are picking another leader over over ours, that they seem to believe that there are other people out there, other countries now have stepped in this leadership role.

That's not true. What is Germany doing to lead the free world? In what I mean? Germany has got a lot of problems, by the way, including what it's going to do about immigration, including what's going to happen as a result of some of these some of these policies. I mean, let let me give you another example. This by the way, um, this is how the Washington Post writes about the throw down between this country and Turkey. Remember the Washington Post is a US paper, folks. This

is how they frame this issue. Erduan capital Arouan is of course the president of Turkey. Are Douan capitalizes on Trump's effort to break and isolate Turkey and here's how they write about this quote. When President Trump tried to strong arm Turkey into releasing a detained American pastor this month, he gambled at a barrage of punishing measures, market rattling economic sanctions, and humiliating public rebukes would force President are to Wan to quickly relent. That has not happened more

than three weeks after the crisis started. The pastor is still under house arrest, and are to Wan for the moment, appears unbowed. Now. I know you can argue that that's a factual recitation of what's gone on, or it's a factually accurate recitation, but that reads very much like yeah, aridauan stand up to Trump. To me, that reads like they're rooting for a Turkish strong man, very much in the mold of Putin, who is, by the way, very pro hamass. And if we dug a little deeper, we'd

find some really unsaved reconnections to the Islamic state. Trust me, between the Turkish government and Isis that's already there. But the Washington Post is rooting for not our president because he's not because Trump is not their president, not my president. I'll never forget those rallies in New York. I walked into one by accident. I was trying to get home. Not my president, not no, it's like, no, no, inaccurate.

He is in fact your president. But John, please continue with that, with that MSNBC panel, because because it gets worse your yeah, go ahead, I'm sorry your argument that he is not the leader of the free world, because he's not. He's a sort of junior player in a block of authoritarian country and no, and the people like the European Union are no longer looking at him as

a leader any longer. And I think is right. They see he's instead he's like right, he's part of the block that includes Vladimir Prutin to Terte, he's you know, he's kind of part of a he's part of kind of an access that it's it's worse than I mean, not that that's not the worst thing that could have said, because it's about the worst thing could say about him, but not the rounding people up and murdering, murdering them without any you know, to process, and they like to

I don't think you can say that definitively. Did you did you catch that? I know there's a lot of like a lot a lot of you know, chirping over each other there, But he would, certainly he would. That was a paid political analyst on TV saying that the current president United States would like to round people up and execute them. And they think that that's both insightful

and funny to say on National TV. I don't remember anybody that anyone thought was even remotely intelligence saying that about Obama, that Obama was looking around people up and execute them. No, nobody said that, because that's stupid, right, that's stupid. It's reckless, and there's no basis for it. But this passes for just kind of a casual Oh yeah, of course, you know, casual conversation over at MSNBC. It passes for just the way the way they talk about

this this stuff all the time. Noticed they also they put Trump in the same category as Dette in the Philippines and Vladimir Putin based on what because he because he pushes back on on media narratives. Our media is biased. They're in the tank for Democrats. Okay, that's just reality. They can cry about it all day, but they're a bunch of Democrat wanna be whiners, and we see it we see it day in and day out, and so Trump pushes back, and now we're supposed to think that

he's some evil dictator because of it. He isn't jailed anyone. Fact. Obama was more dangerous to journalism than Trump was by a mile, But they won't tell you that. Instead they'll sit there and and sneer and snicker and laugh at the notion that Trump he's that they could notice how they also they ran out of ways to say how bad he is. They couldn't come out and come up with a new pejorative for him. You know, Oh, well he's he's worse than That's the worst thing you can say.

But he's not even that bad. I mean, this is what they do. They try to one up each other. You know, this is like a bunch of five year olds arguing about, you know, my dad can beat up your dad. I mean, this is just idiocy on display. That's how they do things. Um speaking about MSNBC and things not being brilliant over there, uh, and situations being uh, let's just say more humorous than intended. This one's amazing, folks.

I want to play this for you. You know, the Reverend Al has how to show overt MSNBC for quite a long time. And those of us who grew up in New York City know that Al Sharpton is a charlatan and a hack and highly unethical, but they give him a show at MSNBC. Anyway, He's had it for a long time and occasionally has prompt trouble. Occasionally has

prompt trouble. And and this is how this went. Play play the clip please from over the weekend speaking about you know, Trump and Amarossa, and he brings in Aretha Franklin played the clip. You know what they say about payback, it's a real well you I'm sure you know the word I'm thinking of. So, in the words of my late friend Aretha Franklin, show some R E s p I s c T R s p I c T. Folks. Oh, we don't have the rest of that clip, but he

goes on after that, he doesn't correct it. R E s p I c T. That is what indeed from me R E s p I C T ris respect. I mean, I don't know rever. Now, I gotta tell you, I'm pretty sure I knew that song in the third grade. I think it might be the song that I knew, you know, one of the first songs I could ever sing the words to. And I think that's true. Probably all of you listening, have you ever heard anyone to misspelled that before? Have you ever heard somebody misspelled the

name of that or the word in that song? R E spr c T second to second to R E s pr c T. Yeah TV host Everybody informing you about politics and life in America. Courtesy of MSNBC. The Reverend OW, We'll be right back. I was raped by Harvey Weinstein here I can. I was twenty one years old. This festival was his hunting ground. Harvey Weinstein will never be welcomed her ever again. He will live in disgrace, shunned by your film community that once embraced him and

covered up for his crimes. And even tonight, sitting among you, there are those who still have to be held accountable for their conduct against women, for a behavior that does not belong in this industry, does not belong in any industry or workplace. You know who you are, but most importantly, we know who you are and we're not going to

allow you to get away with it any longer. So that's Asia Argento, who is considered a leader up there with Rose McGowan of the Me Too movement, and that was her speech at Khan at the Cohn Film Festival after the Harvey Weinstein revelations had come out, and they said she's she's considered one of the most prominent voices on the Me too movement about outing sexual harassers and getting justice for those who have been sexually assaulted, particularly

in the in the film and entertainment industry. And she's also the girlfriend of uh of Anthony bord Aine who killed himself earlier this year. And you just had the story break today. I it's tough to know really, uh, you know, it's just a shock that a young actor claims that she paid him off, that Asia Argento paid him off because she had sex with him when he was underage in the state of California now to California

has an eighteen year old age of consent. He was seventeen, so he was he was close to it, but he was under age and that you know, they they had, you know, a sexual relationship, and she paid him. According to support in the Hollywood Reporter, CNN is on the story to a lot of places are reporting on this paid him over three hundred thousand dollars for his silence. I just I gotta tell you, I did not see this one coming, did not see this as a possible

twist in this whole situation. It doesn't really change anything about the Me too movement, but it just goes to show you that sometimes the loudest voices on an issue are ones that have their own demons that they're hiding. It. Very strange, very unsettling situation. I'm want to think more about this one. I might have worn it later this week, but we got Kim Strasso from the Wall Street Journal joining us to talk about Bruce or that's coming up. The FBI says that home title theft is one of

the fastest growing crimes out there. Brace yourselves, because having your credit card stolen is nothing compared to the hell you're in for once an identity thief takes control of your homes title. Everything is stored online these days, folks, including the title to your home.

This is the Buck Sexton Show. Analysts. No, I think Brusour is a disgrace. I suspect I'll be taking it away very quickly. I think that Brussour is a disgrace with his wife Nellie. For him to be in the Justice Department had to be doing what he did.

That is a disgrace. That is disqualifying for Mueller, and Mr Mueller has a lot of conflicts also directly yourself, so you know that Mr Muller is highly conflicted. In fact, uh Tomy is like his best friend. I could go into conflict after conflict, but sadly Mr Muller is conflicted. But let him write his report. We did nothing, there's

no collusion. But if he was doing an honest report, he'd write it on the other side, because when you look at criminality and you look at problems, take a look at what they did, including colluding with the Russias. The other side, what was Bruce Or doing? Right? Remember Bruce Or was I think number four the Department of Justice and very much involved in the dossier, Russia collusion and all that stuff. His name is popped up a bunch.

You remember his wife, Nellie Or was actually an employee of Fusion GPS, which paid for and then manufactured uh the dossier, sent helped pay and send it around. Right, all this stuff going on. So the big question is what was Bruce Or doing? And it is the one that our next guest addresses in her latest column. Kim Strassol is with us now. She's on the Wall Street Journal at a chorial board. She's a columnist also the author of The Intimidation Game. Kim great to have you on.

Thank you so much for joining. Uh, I just want to pose your question to you. So, what the heck was Bruce doing? Hi, Hi Buck, thanks for having me on. Um. Well, look here's we know what he's doing. He was funneling information from Christopher Steele, the obviously the author of the infamous dossier, from Christopher Steel to the FBI. And the reason that this matters is that the FBI had already

terminated Christopher Steele as a confidential human source. He had broken all of the FBI's rules by talking to the press, and so they said, we can no longer work with you. And yet we now find that months after that happened, Bruce or the senior Member of the Judiciary, is act or at the Justice Department, is acting as an intermediary and and sending information from Christopher Steele to the FBI. And he's doing that even though his wife works for

the same organization that Christopher Steele does. He obviously has a huge conflict of interest. He does not disclose this, at least not in his financial forms, and as so far as we know, not to his superiors. UM. And so that's an issue as well too. Now this would seem to me to be a case of Kim Or We would already have a lot of answers here. Why

haven't Why have we heard more about this guy? I mean, the conflict of interest just in that his his wife was Look, I think we can all assume that he was talking to his wife a lot, right, they lived together, uh, and and she she helped bring this information to him. How can the FBI justifying this or do we just

not know what the FBI really says about it? Well, they haven't even tried to justify it, and I think because it's unjustifiable, and this is an important point I tried to make in the columns it up until now, the FBI has continued to insist it did nothing wrong during despite you know, everything that we know about what they did do about using the dossier, not telling the court entirely about the dossier, running informants into a presidential campaign.

I mean, these are things that I think should be very troubling to anyone, no matter what side of the aisle you're on. But throughout that they've insisted did nothing wrong. This clearly is problematic. Um, not just in terms of what Mr Orr himself did and the fact that he didn't disclose it, um, but that the FBI chose to use him because again remember that this informant program or source program that they had that Mr Steele was part of, that they were using. It's not some willy nilly thing.

It's got rules, guidelines, is entire manual gathering, you know, governing who can be an informant to and a source for the FBI, and what they need to do to maintain that status, and what the agents handling them need to do. Um. And this was all disregarded, and the FBI went back to Bruce or uh And and continued to obtain information from a source that they had terminated for violating their own rules. What would happen here? What has to happen, Kim for there to be accountability for

how this was handled the dj N FBI side. I mean I put myself in this category. I think a lot of folks feel like we you know, this just this is drags on, It drags on, and you know, yes, okay, Struck was Struck was fired, McCabe was fired. I mean some people have could have been fired. Are we ever going to get a comprehensive report on just what they did. I mean the president's in power, he should be able to direct the executive branch to produce the necessary documents

give us the information. Is it a function of waiting for the Mueller probe to end? I mean, essentially, is the are the President's hands tied to try to get to the truth here and let the American people know what happened, because anything that he does is going to be called meddling in the ongoing Mueller probe. What do

you make of all that? Well, I think we can feel pretty confident that we are never going to get an internal house cleaning and a report and an admission of a problem from within d o J or FBI. That is really, to me very disappointing that you do have two new leaders there, Rob Rosenstein at the Department of Justice and Christopher Ray. Neither of them have shown an inkling of interest and saying, look, there is a

problem here, we are looking into it. This is why so and so was fired, This is why so and so was moved out of their position. Because remember, nearly every part of that comy inner circle has now either been fired or removed from their jobs or retired. Um. That is to me an admission that there was clearly a big problem and that internally they recognized it, but

they have not come clean to the public. So the question then, I mean, we at the editorial page of the Wall Street Journal have been advocating every chance we have that the President uh declassified many of these documents. It doesn't have to be a lot. There's a discreete a number of them. We even went out and said, here are the ones that would provide the most information to the American public um and at least to get

that out there. And then, because I think the only other avenue we really have will be to wait for the Inspector General's report, but that could be at least another year in coming. Kim, I've got a theory I want to test out on you and everybody. We're speaking of Kim Strasso, obviously of the Wall Street Journal. Her pieces what was Bruce or doing? She tries to answer it, but the the the short version is wasn't good. Uh So, so you should definitely all check that out. But Kim,

here's my theory. Because people have asked me this, they say, how is it that you have some of these individuals at FBI, d O J who seemed like and I'm not talking about the ones that have already been fired or under suspicion, but I mean, you know, you mentioned Christopher Ray, for example, FBI director. How is it that these guys are also in on it? And I try

to explain it to people this way. I think that if we really knew what happened at the top reaches of the d o J and the FBI, I mean, if we really without you know, the games and the redactions, if the American people found out the truth, they would have a very hard time thinking of the FBI the

d o J in the same way. And so even for those who are not necessarily anti Trump or you know, they weren't Hillary cronies, but people that are institutionalists that have spent a lot of time in those decades, in many cases in those organizations, they feel like they have a duty to the greater good to protect those institutions from the you know, the the ire and the the the distrust for generations the American people. What do you

think about that? I think you've nailed it. This has long been my argument too, that these folks are institutionalist, and I think part of it is what you describe that they feel the need to protect the department or agency that they work for, UH to the extent that they are willing to overlook and even justify things that if they were on the outside, they would not. I

think too. It's also a bit of an I use this word carefully, but but craven nous and that you and I both know if you work in an institution, you were surrounded by people on all sides that are saying, no, what we did was okay, it was okay, it was okay. It's very hard to break from that pack to go and basically infuriate everybody who works for you and works with you and around you. And so I just don't

think you have the test of leadership there. And remember neither Rod Rosenstein nor Christopher Ray were necessarily chosen for those reasons. If you look at the rest of the Bush Bush the Trump cabinet um, they were chosen as reformers, people who were going to come out inside and really

shake things up. But Rod Rosenstein and Christopher Ray both came in under somewhat of a hurried and dress process um where they weren't necessarily vetted because they were going to clean house they were vetted as a safe choice that would be easily confirmable by the Senate in the middle of that entire rush that surrounded the whole supposed Russia scandal. Kim, just before we let you go here, what do you think Mueller's motivation is? I know, I'm kind of asking you to look into a man's mind,

and you know nobody can do that. But do you think do you think he's a partisan along the lines of some of these others that clearly I mean, anyone who tells me that stalker McCabe that they aren't partisans, they didn't use their office, I just can't take that

argument seriously anymore. Do you think Muller just views it as he has to almost mechanically go through literally every nook and cranny of the investigation, just go through everything he can, because that's the only way the American people will have faith and assistant or do you think he's actually he's anti Trump? I mean, you think this is this is a witch hunt. He knows it, and he's down for that. I think he's something almost as concerning

as a partisan. He's a lawyer, and you know, a prosecutor, and and look this is one of the problems with special counsels is nobody wants to go in and spend two years of their life and say I didn't get anything in the end, right And and this is always the issue with a special counsel, is that they do not feel as though they have done their duty or their job unless they come out of it having bagged someone, someone big, preferably because the field that that was their mission.

Um And and we've seen that again and again and again and so far Mr Mueller has done a pretty decent job of unraveling, uh, what clearly was an effort by Russians to engage in some small time disruption uh and chaos sewing here in the United States. He's trolling on social media, et cetera and so on. It's great that he did that, but I don't think he necessarily

ever viewed that really as his job. I think it's a noble job that he'd done that, But remember he was more specifically tasked with looking into Mr Trump, and and having come up completely short on that front in terms of collusion and obstruction of justice, it seems he's just not willing to let it go. Kims Strass of everybody of the Wall Street Journal Editorial Board, the one and only Kim, thank you so much for make the time always great to have you stopped by the Freedom Hunt.

When you're hiring, folks, when you're trying to bring new people into your organization, you know, it's absolutely essential that you can trust that the people that you're taking into your fold are who they say they are, that their backgrounds match up with all the things they've presented to you, and that you know that you're getting somebody who's passed all the necessary hurdles and checks. That's why Global Verification Network is a partner that you should be working with.

Global Verification Network is the only dual certified, veteran owned background investigation and vetting company. They're federally certified as a veteran owned small business and headquartered here in Chicago with offices throughout the country. Their risk mitigation experts can work with startups all the way up to fortune on companies. No data or client information is ever offshore, and as I said, folks, it's all done here in the States.

I think John Brennan is actually a national security risk to the country, and we are safer because his UH security clearance has gone. And the reason I say that is in two thousand and twelve he actually released information to other x C i A agents who went on TV and said, oh,

we've got a double agent in Yemen. Well, at the time, there was a double agent Yemen and his life was put in his or her I don't know who it was. Their life was put at risk because of John Rennan's, you know, releasing information that he shouldn't have. John Brennan was also involved with illegally looking at democrats computers who are investigating CIA torture and then lying about it before

a committee. So John Brennan should have been fired for calls long ago, and he shouldn't be within a mile of classified information because he's the national security risk. He doesn't know how to keep his mouth shut, and now he's someone who's going out there saying the commander in chief has treason us. I don't think. I don't know how you can be in the chain of information if you're saying the commander in chief should be put to death for treason. So, yeah, John Brennan's way out there,

absurdly out there and needs to have no connection to government. Ever, again, Rand Paul just making a whole lot of sense, there, isn't he? Senator Rand Paul seems to get it. A lot of other people don't. Not only is it, look, this is an exception, this is an outrage. Folks. You've got the former CI directors calling somebody, uh, you know, a trader to the country, and just so happens that person he's calling a trader is the President of the United States. And then he goes through a lot of

other reasons, particularly the Senate spying issue. Uh, And I think folks would say, yeah, this guy should have a clearance? Is this really a surprise when you when you think about how this guy Brennan was Obama's like chief terrorism advisor in the White House for a while. Okay, Obama thought Brennan was just the greatest. Do you look at the other people that Obama really trusted on national security,

Susan Rice, Samantha Power. I mean, you go down this list of some of the folks that he wanted around him, to advise him. Ben Rhodes, John Kerry. I mean, these are people that you think I really have an understanding of what's going on the this is the A team. I don't think so. I don't think so at all. You know, and Trump is he's not backing down on this. And even though the media is trying to make this a huge deal. Oh my gosh, they're making that such

a big deal. Trump spoke about this earlier today and this is what he had to say about A Place seven. Oh actually no, this is from even this is from over the weekend, Place seventeen. There's no silence. If anything, I'm giving up a bigger voice. Many people don't even know who he is. And now he has a bigger voice, and that's okay with me because I like to get on voices like that. I've never respected him. I've never had a lot of respect. And Senator Birth said it best.

If you knew anything, why didn't you report it when you were before all of these committees, including their committee, so he had a chance to report, he never did. This was just came up lately, and that's that. That's a disgusting thing. Frankly, this notion of silencing Brennan is not to be taken seriously. It's not a real thing, folks. It's not anything that we should uh be sitting around be worried about. He's not being silent. Brennan is now

more famous than ever. This is Brennan has become the Jim Acosta of the intelligence world. Oh my gosh, they're silencing me. Look, his book deal will be bigger, his speaking fees are higher. Everything about Brennan's world right now is elevated because he's become a hashtag resistance figure. And I just think that it's it's you know, we we've had it. We've had enough of the lives man that

this notion is being silence. No one's silencing him. They're just not giving him access to the nation's most sensitive information, which he doesn't need and we don't need him. To give you a sense of the kind of stuff that they say, I mean, here, here's here's Clapper on scene and play play eight. The value standards, the institutions that that I and others spent the major part of our professional lives defending and upholding are under assault by our

very own president. That I really do wonder whether the Russians have something on him. I really question question his ability to his fitness to be in this office. And I also I am beginning to wonder about his his motivation for it. What a great case officer Vladimir Putin is. He knows how to handle an asset, and that's what he's doing with the president handling an asset. Folcus saying that the president United States is effectively under foreign government control.

That's the former Director of National Intelligence. Does he provide an evidence for this note? But you see, that's what's so easily about the whole thing is that they create the assumption that they must have information, they must have access to things that you know, we don't have. But they're the ones who really know the truth. They're the intelligence community chiefs or were also. Don't forget this. This

is this is Clapper. When I asked a question about whether or not there's any mass collection going on play Club nine, does the n s A collect any type of data at all on millions or hundreds of millions of Americans? No, sir, it does not, not wittingly. There are cases where they could inadvertently perhaps collect, but not not winningly. That's a lie, as we all know that

was before Congress. What why is that? You know, We've got all these people that are saying, oh my gosh, you know Trump, you can't speak to he can't speak to Mueller because he's gonna get caught in a lie. Well, other people lie and it's not a big deal. Other people lie and it's apparently no problem in front of Congress, which is the same legally speaking as being under you know, as being under oath in a court. So why is there no issue here? See, folks, they don't have any standards,

so they try to use our standards against us. And in the era of Trump, we've decided to stop letting that be the game that they play. We've had enough. And these former intelligence chiefs who are out there making this case to the the American people are doing so in a way that is deeply damaging to the reputation of the intelligence community, to our ability. I think to have a commander chief who can trust the intelligence chief is going forward. And they're doing it all because of Trump

arrangement syndrome. Because these are not normal criticisms. These are not healthy minds that are thinking this stuff about the President. We'll be right back he's back with you now, because when it comes to the fight for truth, the fuck never stops. You said, if Mueller doesn't get this done in two or three weeks, basically referring to September one, we will just unload on him like a ton of bricks.

What does that? What does that mean for interfering with the election when he had no reason to do that because he could have gotten this done earlier. The person who's delayed here, But what are you gonna do if the president gonna fire him, We're not going to We're gonna public We're gonna point out to the public how he has acted improperly and he's now violating a Justice

Department run about not carrying on an investigation. That's not the sixty days about issuing indictments and things like that. He can go. What's about carrying on It is not. It's about carrying on a public investigation. If he has to issue a subpoena during that period of time, it would be a gross interference in the election when he could have issued a six months uh, six months before, three months before. And when you tell me that, you know he should testify because that for a minute pause,

actually I want to jump in here for seconuse. We we're about to folks were about to get into the big exchange from over the weekend where everybody was all upset. You know, oh my gosh, look at Rudy said, Now, oh the media running all these headlines. Let me just know that, you know that you got Rudy and Chuck Todd here on whatever show NBC. I never I don't watch the Sunday shows because I do my own research on Sundays and I don't need some clowns to tell

me what the political stories are for the week. But you know, no, no notice how this whole thing, the Mueller probe and all this this got started because of election interference. That's what they said, right, that's what and then interference led to the obstruction and then all this other stuff. But what what we see here is that the same people who were so worried about election interference

are now the ones who are justifying election interference. Right, the same people who are saying, oh my gosh, the Russians, all the Russians are getting going our stuff now when Mueller may be continuing this probe in a way that's clearly going to affect the mindset of voters. That's clearly going to affect people as they're going into the polls.

If you're not somebody who understands the full scope of what's going on here, if you if you pay attention to the media, if you trust the mainstream media for your facts on what's gone on here, you're gonna think, oh my gosh, the president nited states still under this active investigation. This is so terrible, And maybe I should vote for the party that is not the president's party. Right, No, Trump is not in the ballot. But as everyone knows, in a mid term like this, of course the president

and his party together are on the ballot. Everybody knows that. Everybody understands that. So but but the election interference narrative has now got us to a point where people are pushing for election interference who were so worried about election interference before. This is the great irony of the situation. But then we get into this other, this other component here about truth is truth playclip twelve. And when you tell me that you know he should testify because he's

going to tell the truth and he shouldn't worry. Well, that's so silly, because it's somebody's version of the truth, not the truth. He didn't have a conversation of this truth. I don't mean to go like I know it isn't truth. Truth isn't truth. The President of United States says, I didn't Truth is the truth? Mr merrithn you realize what I No, No, don't, don't don't do that. Don't do this to me, don't do truth. Donald Trump. Donald Trump says I didn't talk about Flynn with Comey. Comey says,

you didn't talk about it. So tell me what the truth is, Tom McCain, if you have such a genius, you know that. That's exactly the point that that they they see that they would seize on this and make a meme of it, and they did, right. Truth isn't truth? Yeah, well that that's a funny phrase now because they're all saying Trump lies so much and there's all these liars around and everything else. Uh. Meanwhile, what he's saying is something that liberals pretend to forget now because it's convenient

for them. And it's the following that that you could tell the truth and still go to prison, or you could tell the truth and still be uh treated as a liar in the courts or or by the FBI. This should not be surprising to liberals. Liberals are supposed to be the ones, folks they're supposed to be, I know they're not. They're supposed to be the ones who are worried about, oh, false arrest, about implicit racial bias

and arrest. Liberals are always telling us that police are unjust, that the justice system makes mistakes, that the justice system is biased, and and they're always so worried about procedure to protect defendants. But we see is that's really only applicable for liberals when they think the defendant is a member of a protected class. That's really what they're worried about. Identity politics as it intersect with the intersects with the

justice system. That's what really matters to them. The principle of a far too powerful uh executive branch, or a far too powerful prosecutorial wing of the executive government that doesn't really seem to bother them. I'm sorry. I refused to believe that General Flynn, who was the Defense Intelligence

Agency director and a three star general. Okay, I refused to believe that he just lied about a meeting with some FBI agents for no reason for and it was no big deal because he didn't know any better, or because he just felt like it. No, they set him up, meaning that he thought he was just having an off the cuff conversation and said something that they could then

later on manufacture as factually inaccurate. There's a reason why people don't want to have to sit in a federal trial and defend themselves that there's a reason why they don't want to have these interactions with the government. Liberals used to know that stuff, but they have very conveniently forgotten it now, and so that's why they run with this whole truth isn't truth? Look what if he's that

truth isn't truth? Truth, There isn't truth. Well, yes, when when you have a jury that's going to always give much more weight to what the what the government says, especially the federal government. It's unfortunate, but it's true in these matters when you have a jury that's going to hear from the government one thing and then you're going

to present it with another. You know, when you have a Trump administration that has been just beset with media stories of all kinds about how they're lying and they're so bad and they're so terrible, then yeah, you could tell the truth if you're the president of the United States and the d o J could jam you up anyway, So you know that this isn't really that complicated, This

isn't really that that that that that insane. But but they ran with the story because it's useful to them, folks that this is the new The new narrative under the Trump administration at least, is that Republicans don't care at all about facts and don't care at all about truth, when what's actually going on is that we care about what matters, care about how the country is doing, what the policies are, and we understand the context of this fight.

You know, I just feel like we've all gotten tired after a while of one of the left favorite games, which is always holding us to the the holding us up to live by rules and we have to be perfect or else. They exaggerate every transgression, every mishap, right when a conservative messes up, they magnify at times. Town when a conservative makes a mistake, it's the end of the world. And with their side, they're always ignoring it, they don't cover it, or they soft pedal it or

they and we're all sick of it. We won't play their game anymore. And that's why they're freaking out so much. That's why they can't bring themselves they just have a normal conversation about any this. Now, it's just what Trump derangement syndrome is a true psychological pandemic, and why they would pick out of this thing truth isn't truth. I

know it's a catchy headline. I know a lot of different media outlets went with it, but when you listen to the context, it's clear what Ulani was saying, which is, yeah, that's right. Mueller is on a witch hunt and he is trying to take down the President of the United States, even if he tells the truth. You have been more outspoken than really any former official. Uh. And in fact, that maybe why many Republican legislatures feel comfortable taking the

president's side. They believe your comments have been over the top. Do you regret essentially accusing the president of treason? Do you do you regret some of the things you have said. I called his behavior trees this, which is to betray one's trust and to aid and at the enemy. And I stand very much by that claim, you are the former CIA director accusing the sitting president United States. It's

not a private citizen. A lot of people here, the former CIA director accusing the sitting president United States of treason. That's that's monument that's a monumental accusation. It is indeed a monumental accusation. And I gotta say I give Chuck Todd some credit for at least being willing to say that. I mean, this is not normal stuff, folks, And I think that's where a lot of us have finally just departed from this crazy game that you know, the the

anti trumpers want to play. When you have the former CIA director out there, uh, claiming that the president of the United States, the sitting president United States, committed treason, I mean, that has really negative ramifications. I think it's so interesting that you'll hear all the time from these different journalists and the anti trumpers that Trump is undermining institutions.

When you have the spy chief of the last administration that was a Democrat administration, the opposition to the current one saying that the president is a trader, Uh, that is incredibly undermining. But this this interview continues on and and Brennan, who I think has had some kind of break with reality. I mean, there's something wrong with him.

Brennan goes into some more detail about his position. Well, I think these are abnormal times, and I think a lot of people have spoken out against what Mr Trump has done. And maybe it's my my warning training as an intelligence professional, I have seen the lights blinking red in terms of what Mr Trump has done and is doing, and is bringing this country down on the global stage,

and he's fueling and feeding divisiveness within our country. He continually lies to the American people and the types of things that he's doing. I think I need to speak out, and so I've been speaking out rather forcefully because I believe it's important to do so. I don't believe I'm being political at all. I'm not a Republican, I'm not a Democrat. Yes, he's not being political. He's just being crazy. That's what the former CIA director is doing. He is

acting like a person who has real problems in real trouble. Look, folks, I wrote about this on the Hill dot Com today. Of piece actually created quite a spirited discussion in the comments, and I got pushed back, and people are mad at me because there's always this assumption I think that because I worked for the CIA, that I must have some affinity for the intelligence agencies and and for federal bureaucracy. And I have to try to tell people no, because

I actually understand these places. I have very different opinions than most journalists do. I am not an institutionalist when it comes to these these organizations. I view them as sometimes doing good stuff, sometimes doing bad stuff. Sometimes they need correction, and sometimes they need praise. But Brennan, I gotta tell you, Brennan is someone who and please do, by the way, go read the article. It's on Facebook dot com, slash buck Sexton or the Hill dot com.

Appreciate when all of you get a chance to read it went up today. And I mean, I just say, look, the spy chiefs are causing long term damage to the spy agencies, the former spy chiefs, because they're gonna make it so that any incoming administration is going to think, who appointed that that CI director? Do I need to get rid of him right away? Yes? Sometimes people, you know, CI directors and others in the intel community come and

go pretty quickly, but they don't always. And it's also a question of some of the other UH senior level folks. You know, if you worked in the White House and then you became, you know, a top person at the n s A or top person at the State Department or wherever, does the next administration have to worry about you.

I think the answer now is obviously yes. But I want to dig into Brennan for a moment here, because I think that everyone I know who has worked at them, and there are a lot of people that I know who have spent time with Brennan who know him personally, who I believe it or not, generally say very good things about him as a as a as a guy, as as somebody that they would be around it. They seem to like him. Um, So I have a hard time believing that he's just entirely that he's had some

kind of a breakdown. I mean, that's that's possible, but I don't see that as the most likely outcome here. I think a better guess of what's going on is that Brennan realizes that it's probably only a matter of time before the full extent of what he did to try and create this Russia collusion trapped for the administration or try to. I mean see that the problem is, folks, it's almost like a a police officer who who's so certain, so certain that a a a minister, a person is

guilty that they plant evidence. And what happens to a cop who plants evidence because they're so sure that this is the guilty party and then all of a sudden it starts to look like they're not the guilty party. Well, for a lot of unethical people out there, they'd say, well, it's just a matter of collecting more evidence, but they would double down on the necessity of that right. They want to believe that their actions they were just trying to get the bad guy, and they know they know

that person is bad. They believe in their heart that person is bad. And that's I think where Brennan is. I believe that he was worried that Trump was a a danger, a threat to the country. I think that he really was of that mindset. And now that the information is actually coming out, now that we're getting a better sense of what really happened, it's becoming clear that

he jumped the gun. It's becoming clear that he was not in fact uh on, he had not unearthed or helped unearth this massive conspiracy with the Trump campaign to

throw an election. No, in fact, what what happened is UH, a bunch of Russian Facebook trolls and some other uncorrelated events came together at a time when the Trump administration was beating all of the political wisdom, destroying the consensus opinions, and the establishment was in an utter panic and they were looking for a scapegoat, and this became the perfect scape scapegoat that Russia had helped Trump win. But Brennan is not in He's not in normal terms here, nor

are Clapper and Comey and Hayden. I think I'm gonna get a chance to sit down with former CI director Michael He's also former n Essay director Michael Hayden later this week here in d C. Again the benefits of being a swamp creature, as I get to actually interview all these people now and and run sources all over the city, and I get to learn a lot of

interesting stuff which I then can tell you. But I worked for Mike, as I've told you before, and I thought Mike was pretty squared away, and I really want to ask him what has happened here? You know, you heard it in Brennan's thing about you know, I had warning training and I'm a warning training intelligence officer. Well, i had intelligence officer training two. And at this point, we would we would think that this person, if Brennan were a source, I would think he was making stuff up.

I would think that he was fabricating information to tell the American public what they what he thought they wanted to hear um. And I can't help but feel like there's some of these other people that are involved with Brennan that are all catching his back right now. They're saying, oh, how dare you threatened to take Brennan's clearance? Well, where are they when Brennan is yelling about how the president United States is a trader? Where are they on that?

Why don't we get to hear more about that? You know, if if they're so concerned about the future and fate of the country, you would think that they might want to tell tell for the former CI director to chill out just a little bit. Clapper over the weekend said something like Brennan's He muttered something because Clapper likes to mutter about how Brennan needs to Yeah, probably tone it down. A little bit, but he needs tone it down a lot, folks. He needs to tone it down a whole heck of

a lot. And what we're seeing is there's a desperation here, a desperation to justify after the fact actions that were taking uh in a in a frenzy of anxiety at the top level of the Obama administration. That's right, it was under Obama's watch. These are executive branch officials. Do not forget that. And now they're using the bully pulpit. Now they're using you know, TV appearances in books to try and create a narrative where they won't look like

the villains in the end. But I have to tell you, I think that Brennan and all the rest of the deep Staters are going to look like the villains. Buck Sexton remission, decoding the news and disseminating information with actionable intelligence,

Make no mistake, American, You're a great American again. This is the buck Sexton shows set No how the President continues to do this, And I hope he adds I'm a Rosa to the list because if she has a clearance, she too, because of her actions, should have it revoked. I don't know if I put m Rossa in the same category of people signed those letters but film. But

I imagine you want to react profitable Paris. When I am requested to sit on an advisory board, let me ask you one question, how much do you think I'm paid to do that? At the requestion to the US government, give me one answer and you got ten seconds? How much I'll give I'll ask you a question, how much are you paid for your answer? The question acting gig for for being a for They have no contract with the US government that paid more. I'm not talking hearing.

This is the thing I'm not talking about that I'm not talking about. There you go CNN everyone, that's how things go over there, the the the global leader in cable news that there he had a former former c I a senior executive, Phil Mud, and a and and Paris Denard, whom I think he's a Trump supporter who goes on CNN, one of the very very few. And they're arguing over the security clearance thing. And you'll notice that that Phil Mud sounds really upset over this and

made this very personal. And I can tell you know because because the news today is that there are more people who are joining Brennan's clearance crusade here right, there's there's even a greater number, I think a hundred and sixty five people. And Mike Hayden has added his name to the list. And you know, a lot of people, a lot of normal Americans look at this instead of themselves. Hold on a second, why am I supposed to care about Brennan losing his clearance? Brennan no longer works for

the government. I mean, that's one part of this that no one seems willing to give me a straight answer them, which is why has this become the thing that the national security establishment is rallying around. You have, on the one hand, as I've been discussing with you, people claiming the President of the United States is a trader, okay, and including former intelligence agency heads to the general public understandably thinks must have some inside track on the president's treason.

They're silent on that. But when it comes to Brennan's clearance, we're supposed to think that this is how you know, the the American people on every water tower across the country, there are all these different you know, they're all these different posters and and and placards, that are being put up about Brennan's clearance. You know in small towns across America, give Brennan back his clearance. We don't care. I don't care, you know. I asked the former c I a uh

public affairs director. I forget what a specific title was, but a former CI executive that I sat on my show here in d C. I said, can't you just give the eyes clearance back if you really want to, if you really want to reinstate him. If the government wants to bring Brennan in, you know what, they can reinstate his clearance. If President Trump was like, oh my gosh, we desperately need John Brennan's advice on this one, then they could bring him in. The next administration could bring

him in. And people who are saying, oh, this is so politicized, what I want to say is yeah, but this is an extreme situation. Brennan is the extreme here. Well, what he's doing is unethical, folks. He is undermining the commander in chief of this country and using the perception of his super user access to classified information to do it. And so the presidents like, well, no more classified for you. By the way, it is so interesting how upset these

guys all get, including film. Oh when you talk about how you know we don't necessarily need their clearance. The intelligence community is vast. There are so many people working on all these issues. I can't think of a situation, aation where we would have been at a loss. You know they do, they do outgoing briefings and for the incoming team if there's a new CIA director. I mean, of course, all that bureaucratic stuff happens. I can't even fathom a situation where this would be necessary. I can't

even think of it. And they're acting like, oh, well, I'm not saying that doesn't mean it can happen. Yeah, I'm sure they bring in former people and but generally speaking, let me tell you something, the former director and they're really necessarily like, I want to have that much of the or rather, the current director doesn't want to have that much of the former director poking around and telling

him what to do. Trust me on that one. But this is just again the the outrage machinery exhausts itself here. I we don't really care. I don't really care, you don't really care. It's one guy who does not have a constitutional right to have a top level security clearance,

and he's going around on TV being a maniac. By the way, everybody that I know in the business, and I know a lot of people, think that Brennan has not just been saying things that are irresponsible, but has been crossing the line here and talking to press about things is not supposed to. Now that's not on the record yet, we don't know, but I'm if I'm placing bets my friends. I think it's just a matter of

time before we do find that out. But oh, by the way, it actually gets a little bit crazier here between Dennard and Paris Denard and film mud over at CNN. It devolves, folks. Get ready for it. Here it comes your role with the federal government. I'm talking about the time that a sultan and a contractor, the consulting firms that they form and that you all get is because you get more money when having a consultant before having the security class like that doesn't happen. I have zero

consulting relationship with the US government. Zero. I'm not talking feel that's a good talking point. I'm not talking about relationship with the government. I'm talking about in the private sector. When you have a security fan and you keep relationships with the private sector that involved my security clearance? Zero who says that we're talking about Phil mud and his contracts.

We're talking about you know or not we but but Paris Dennard is actually talking about in general secure any clearances. This is just true, folks. You are worth more as a private sector contractor who works on government contracts if you have a clearance and if you don't. This everybody knows this. I don't know why Phil Mudd is acting like this is all about him, but he goes even further. I get zero dollars from consulting companies that deal with

US government. Are we clear? Well, I will be clear and saying that everybody in Washington, d c Knows. If you don't want to be honest about it, that's on you. But if you have a security clearance and you keep it, you can do money to get out. It's not your show. Don't be self defensive about this. I mean we we

had to actually edit it out. Phil Mud there, CNN's paid on air analysts was was dropping dropped an s bomb there at the end that that's how crazy this whole thing made him and you have to wonder, folks, you know what, what could push people to take this show personally. You'll notice in the in the era of Trump, this is a constant theme that and anything that is Trump related gets the the anti trumpers thinking about it in terms of how it affects them. You know, it's like, oh,

how dare you say this thing about me? No one said anything about film mun Paris Dear didn't saying that film Mont. I'm not saying anything about well, I'm making

fun of him freaking out on on CNN. But you know, one of the other promise here is that the crazier you get on air, and this is true of a lot of anti trumpers out there, the crazier you get on air, and the more extreme the articles you write and the more outrageous the allegations you make against this president, the more the left praises you, you know, the more they think that you're actually a real hero for the cause and that you're somebody who's really committed that you're

trying to do the work. You know, you're trying to take down this presidency. You're you're trying to be the one that makes sure that you know that the American people are safe from the tyranny of Trump is um but the clearance is who has been. It's been known

for a long time. One of the problems the federal government has had, stretching back to my time in the federal government, is people who take a government job and then jump ship and they keep that clearance work that's done in their background, and then they monetize it in the private sector and go back and work on a government contract somewhere. This this is just these are facts.

This is not someone's opinion. That's what happens. So for phil Mud to act like this is some you know, terrible slight some insult against him and his family and everything else or pe Well he didn't say his family, but you know what I mean. To act like this is some blood feud, it's just crazy. But you know, I I I'm running out of adjectives to describe the way Democrats react to Trump on TV now, and I'm running out of ways to talk about this. I've described

it as pathological. I've described it as really a as an illness. I think we're there. Uh, this is this is not a normal time in American politics at all. It's not just that things are our partisan and nasty. It's that you can't even engage on the middle ground of hey, let's at least keep some decorum here. And by the way, did go on CNN and just start cursing? You know, But he's not gonna get suspended for that. He's not gonna get talked to for that. You know.

I get yelled at if I ever talked when Dravid Gergen was talking about Nixon and Reagan and Ford. And you know, if I said anything and there was any cross talk with gurgling with Gurgan back in my CNN days, they'd pull me aside and give me a time out, you know, make me wear the dunce cap in the corner by myself. But you if you're trashing a Trump person, you can pretty much do anything, you know, and they'll just they'll just let you go. By the way. That's

why I would never That's why I wouldn't go on CNN. Now. I mean, Paris will handle it, good for him, but I have no interest because they have no interest in having a real conversation because CNN decided to go to war against this president. Don't ever forget that that was reported and I know who actually got that initial information, and it's real. CNN said that they were going to war against the president, all right, that was a thing that was said and overheard in the vicinity of the

head of CNN, Jeff Sucker. They have gone to war against this president and they are losing. I know it can be tempting to get sucked in by the latest Macha green foam SOI latte nonsense.

Uh is thrown off Twitter, I think, and Facebook and a

few of the platforms. I think he's going to. Uh. Well, if you're a liberal, you're supposed to be for free speech. That's free speech for the speech you hate. That's what free speech means. We're losing the thread of the concepts that are important to this country, and you care about the real American where you don't and if you do, which goes for every side. I don't like Alex Jones, but Alex Jones gets to speak. Everybody get to speak.

You know. I don't really like Alex Jones either, so and from what I understand, he doesn't really like me. This is from all Access dot Com. Ten questions for Buck Sexton. I never even knew who this guy was when I saw him. But I said, that guy is

a government agent. The secure look, the satisfied look. So let's put aside for a second that Alex Jones is a crazy person who is completely unethical and his analysis and says things that are both deeply laughable and deeply destructive at the same time, and that he made fun of my hair, which is a crime that will always be unforgivable. He is currently at the centerpiece of a national discussion over censorship, and that's where I want to go back to this clip. This exchange with Bill Maher

was was pretty astonishing. Here. First of all, you had grand Holme Jennifer Granholm, whom I've debated once or twice before, she was the uh was the governor of and she's a Democrat governor of Michigan. Oh my gosh, Michigan. You made Jennifer Granham your governor. What the heck is wrong with you? Guys? Anyway, you saw the you saw that exchange,

and she goes, yes, Alex Jones, he's silenced. And Bill Maher, who has made his whole life essentially making jokes and often offending people, is like, no, Liberals, you're not supposed to do this. You're not supposed to be the ones cheering anyone getting completely shut down and banned from the public square because of speech. And I know people keep saying, uh that, they keep bringing up all the time that

Twitter and Facebook and these are private companies. Well, first of all, as liberals will tell you, private companies are regulated in all kinds of ways. So the national conversation about what private companies that are as large and powerful as Facebook and Twitter, how that conversation goes can affect the legislation and the regulation of what's going on here. Are they treated as utilities? Will people try to break

them up and say that they are monopolies? Although I think if nothing else, what we've seen here is that there's a a chink in the armor of some of these social media platforms. Now they're no longer considered to be quite as invulnerable because if half, if half of the people that are on these platforms, at least in America, feel like they're being targeted for their ideas, there's certainly an alternative, or there there could be an alternative out there.

So I do think that there are long term implications for how these social media companies will do and how they will function. But notice how more has to slap down grant homes stupidity there for a second. Because it's supposed to be the liberals who are the ones who want free speech. It's supposed to be that this is what is part of the lore right, although that's never

really been true. They want free speech when it suits them, and they've always been pushing for hate speech laws and and you know, in form in my lifetime at least, I mean, I won't pretend to know what things were like from the sixties through the through the eighties, but starting from as long as far back as I can remember, liberals are the ones who want the government to be in a position of authority to shut down the speech that they do not like. And this is a big

change for them. I mean culturally, they now have to deal with the fact that they are no longer a party that's all about the Berkeley free speech movement. And with this deep platforming effort and speech equals violence and all these different constructs that they've come up with to try and limit speech that they don't like, it's increasingly clear that liberals are bracing a really embracing a really authoritarian approach on these issues, and they no longer are

a part. That's why I hate calling them liberals. They are anti liberty. There it's a misnomer to call them liberals. It's really incorrect. Uh, you could say they are progressives, their socialists. Really, you know, we we don't like to say this, we don't like to talk about it, but you could say they're democratic socialists. But this is really what the Democratic Party in this country has become. And you know that they like to just constantly change the

language and and hide from the truth. But what do they want? More government, higher taxes, government in control of businesses, government and control of of the day to day operations via regulation, and massive taxation, and enormous safety net. Right, these are socialist ideas, So why can't they just be honest about it? No, we have to call them democrats because what they believe in, they believe in democracy, and we don't. Is that really what the idea is supposed

to be? Here? So much dishonesty in the modern Democratic Party's philosophy. But that's not gonna change anytime soon. So I'm not even sure how helpful it is for us to bemoan that. But I did. What really struck me there was that initially you had the cheering for Yeah, Alex Jones is gone. Bill Maher, who on some issues is horrendous, but on free speech and on Islam, he's pretty good. Bill Maher has to say to her, what

are you doing cheering for censorship? You know, the liberals are the ones folks who say that pornography is free expression. The liberals are the ones who have been saying for a long time that you know, a crucifix and urine as a as a taxpayer funded art exhibit, you know that can't be sensored. I mean, they're the ones who are always saying no rules, no rules, offensiveness against Christianity is fine, be as blasphemous as you want, do whatever.

You know, that's been their position. But now when it comes to some of their favorite groups, or when it comes to issues where they feel like they have an increasing amount of power, they're just embracing censorship. I mean that they are embracing it under these different rubrics that calling it d platform ng or they'll you know, they'll call it something else, right, they'll say that a conversational

health to borrow from the Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey. But the truth is that they are abandoning something that for a long time they held to be central to their ideological identity. Whether it was true or not a separate issue, and I would say to you that it's untrue. But they are now openly just advocating for things that we don't like. People should not be allowed to say and should be punished for saying by private companies and in the public square. And it's a very small step for

that to turn into government regulation. And by the way, they're already doing that. I mean, when you look at the way the laws are currently set up or the way some of these government bodies are set up, they are also trying to censor via the government. Don't forget that. I mean there they've gone back to the guy who didn't want to bake a gay wedding cake and try to make him bake a cake of Satan with a a sex toy on it. I mean, you know, the and the and the account of the Colorado Civil Rights

or Human Rights Commission is going after the guy. So they are little petty authoritarians when it comes to speech, and that's really who democrats have becoming. I think Bill Maher maybe has realized this a little late in the game, but he's not about to change this anytime soon. That's who the Democrats have become. He's holding the line for America buck sex in his back. So I gathered with one of my conservative friends here in d C over the weekend. A buddy of mine. We got, you know,

drinks and dinner. Ms. Molly was away at a bachelorette party, which is apparently a thing where a bunch of young m and all get together and do bachelorette things. I don't even know what that really means. But he asked me about whether I knew what happened to Colin Jost and I said, no, what are you talking about? Because

he didn't know this. But as I mentioned you before, Colin, who is the weekend update anchor for Saturday Night Live, was my high school classmate and also on my debate team, and he's now was on my debate team and is now most famous for being the a cou trement of Scarlett Johanson, and he is dating Scarlett Johansson right now. But I had no idea that there was some controversy with with Colin, whom I haven't seen I bumped into

on the street maybe a year or two ago. I haven't seen him, and I think SNL is a terrible and deeply unfunny show, so it's probably best that we don't talk about that very much. But Colin did say some stuff in response to it. Well, he was interviewed.

He was interviewed because he's gonna be hosting the Emmy's with Michael Chay, who's co host on Weekend Update, and I it was a you know they had the it was a transcribed interview, and in response to one of the questions, Colin said this, I think most of the time, award shows are way too self serious and focused on things that of the country doesn't care about. This is to the Los Angeles Times. At the end of the day, it's adults getting trophies. Why should that be taken seriously?

But I completely agree with Colin all this. I think he I think he couldn't be more correct. I think it is. The whole thing is ridiculous, and I'm glad that somebody's calling it out. Uh. And then he went on to say, remember when movies like Gladiator, which is amazing, by the way, are you not at the day. He went on to say, why can't fund good movies win? And not just artsy things. They're both good and fun, and sometimes the fun ones are harder, a lot harder

to make. The Saturday Night Live star told the outlet, this to me is like not even It's not that it's not controversial. It's obviously objectively true. Right, there's so many movies. I've told you The Shape of Water is about a woman who has sex with her aquarium pet. Okay, that is a fact. These are terrible movies. And while I did see The Avengers, uh, Ultra whatever the most I can't remember what it was called now, you know, Forever War or something. It was awful. I couldn't even

get through the first hour of it. Yeah, there's popular movies that are terrible. We don't have to pretend that artsy movies are good even when they're awful and unpopular. Well you think this was not just uncontroversial but a

actually smart thing that Colin said. He got annihilated on Twitter for this over the weekend by journalists uh and people who wrote things like, quote, Colin Jost is just a loaf of wonder bread with a degree from Harvard and Colin Joe's favorite movies ranked Gladiator, Boondock Saints, Boondock Saints, Boondock Saints, Boondock Saints, Boondoc Saints. I mean, people were

freaking out on him. He was trending on Twitter for a while because of this, because he said, maybe movies like Gladiator, and yeah, that's right, Braveheart, the greatest movie ever made. Would you be willing to train all the days from this day to that for one chats? Just one chat? Still don black here until our enemies then they may take on one, but they'll never take doesn't get any better than that, folks. But anyway, Yeah, you know, there was a time when great movies did win Oscars.

But this that it forget about for a second that you know this SNL host and writer got dragged by the Twitter social justice mob for a completely inocuous comment. Expect craziness from them. Why why would this comment matter so much? Why do they care so much about award shows? Because clearly the progressive left and the social justice warriors

really do care about this issue. They really do care that the Oscars continue to elevate movies about social justice right whether and and the Emmys give as many awards as possible to shows where there's an emphasis on transgender issues and transgender rights and whatever. The particular issue of the moment is for the left, they want to control the culture, folks, and they want to be able to use their control at the top to force feed us. Aren't that is not good that we don't care to see.

But they have the levels of control and power to make us sit and see it. In many cases, they control the platforms, they control the distribution and the money behind these projects, and by elevating this themselves and claiming that it is fantastic, claiming there's some objective process here by which their social justice infused artwork is the best. That's how they justify the processes in place of making sure that they determine what we see, how we see it,

when we see it. This is an issue of control of the culture for them, and award shows are a necessary laundering mechanism for liberalism to be pushed on all of the rest of us, even when we don't want it. The show ain't over yet, folks. It's time for roll call. Yes, indeed, it is that part of the show. We get to dive into all of the latest from you here in roll call. Uh, let's see what we have here. First up, Harry rides Hi buck Shield Hie. Catching up on podcasts.

I listened to the August segment on Facebook and big banks sharing data. You discussed the scary Internet of things that I laughed out loud when you launched an in an intro for an ad for simply Safe. Oh my god. Well, I can hope they have a very secure link between your home and your phone. Here's you get another portal of attack into our lives. No smart anything for me. Even my phone is a very dumb flip phone. Count

me another proud Loodite, Harry. Well, Harry, Look, there's always trade offs with technology when it comes to a possible security vulnerability, right, I mean, if you're gonna use a credit card, your credit card could get stolen. If you're going to use a car, it's a lot safer to walk, right, You're not going to run into a tree walking and die. So we can't be completely closed off from the risks

that technology may pose. But I do think that in the case, first of all, our our sponsors simply say, if it's a billion dollar company and all they do is not just figure out how to make sure that all your stuff at home is safe, but also that no one except for you will be able to access

anything that's there. But to be sure there there are always going to be the possibilities of security risks with any WiFi enabled device, and that's why you want to want and have a company you really trust and to just be aware at least of what some of those issues could be. But indeed, Harry, I'm glad you've got some amusement out of that. Ryan writes, yo buck love the show. I was listening to Thursday's show and you were talking about the media's new fixation on Trump's distaste

for dogs. You mentioned that you weren't a fan of Obama's dogs and stated it was a golden doodle. First, the Obama's had Portuguese water dogs. Apparently they were considering a labor doodle. That's what I was thinking of until the Telegraph said that labradoodles are not for presidents. Second,

you crossed a line when you dissed golden doodles. I understand how some people see these new mixed breeds as designer dogs, But if you love Golden Retrievers because of their incredibly warm personality, and you want to reduce shedding. You can't beat a golden doodle. They're great dogs. I'll give you a one time pass on this one. Shields high from Ryan or Ryan. You know, I'm gonna be honest with you when it comes to golden Doodles. I am somewhat judging a book by its cover because they

just look a little frou frou to me. But I have never known one, so I'm kinda I'm kind of being an anti golden doodle person without really having all the full facts, so you know, let me think more. Whereas Sharp Pay's I don't like because they haven't been nice when I've met them. You know that there's some dogs that you spend time around, you get a sense

real quickly of what's going on. I think I told you all, by the way, about that story about the uh the docks and who had the He was dragging his earmuffs for for anybody under the age you know of of being able to hear such things, but the docks and was dragging his peep on the ground and he was super old, and I lifted him up, and he tried to bite my face off. I saw that couple again who owned the docks and and or their parents did at least, And they didn't even know that story.

And I told them, and they laughed a lot, and they said, yeah, he has really bad back problems. And he bites. Said yes, he indeed has back problems. And he bites and he drags his little peep on the ground because he's so low to the ground and so old and and uh he looks so cute though, because he doesn't look anyway I'm talking about the He's like a sixteen year old docks and or something. It's the oldest looking dog I've ever seen. Uh. Anyway, Molly felt

so bad for him. She's like, look what he's dragging the crowd. I said, well, you know that would put me in a bad mood too, honey, So I can kind of understand. Uh. Next up here we have Erica, who rights I have left over metro cards from our d C trip. Shoot me a mailing address. I'll send them to you. A figure having extra cards will be helpful when you have visitors. Erica, that's very sweet of you, but keep them for when you come to d C

the next time around. I also think Erica probably now because of all of my gotta keep it lights on and the Freedom Hut Talk is trying to help me out a little bit, which, hey, you know, all the help I can get is is great. But do keep your cards for the next time that you are in town. Jenna, Yes, truth, You're right on good shows this week. I really appreciated Tuesday Night's insights into the history of fascism and communism and antifa. I recently read Liberal Fascism, as you've recommended,

very relevant keep speaking truth. Well, I'm so glad you enjoyed it. And look, it's Jonah Goldberg's finest work in my opinion, It's a really ex o in book, Liberal Fascism. So I'm glad you enjoyed that. And I try to get into as much of the back story and history here on the show as I can, something that I think is very important. So appreciate, appreciate your your kind note. Here we go, um Peter writes in response to Andrew

Cuomo's America was never that great comment. America will reach greatness when we get rid of people that use discrimination and stereotyping of conservatives who have no place in the state of New York. His own words, just readjusted to show the blatant bias against the people who make up most of the area of New York State. He's not welcome, nor does he stand for the people in upstate New

York minus Syracuse and Albany. In he won only twelve counties, but an NYC contains the highest population of the state, giving him the wind shields high. Keep up the good fight. Nobody cares about winning those twelve counties because Cuomo only

needs to win the battle in the media eyes. But no, you are correct, Peter oh Also, he writes, forgot to mention one reason Hillary would send only hard copies of the emails is that it's very easy to use the font color option in a document to change certain characters that one would want to be unseen, and select font color white, which does not appear on print but can be retrieved very easily. Think of how CEI director David Portrays and Broadwell used draft copy and a shared Gmail accounts,

so there was no trace when deleted. Uh. I don't know anything about any of that, Peter, but that was certainly interesting. Thank you for thank you for writing um John writes, I have noticed I haven't seen a post from you in months hashtag silenced. Well, you know, John, I've i people listen to the show. No, I've been worried about social media censorship for years now. Uh. And there are there's clear there is a left wing bias. There meeting, there's a left wing bias. And you know

that's that's just something we're gonna have to figure out now. Uh, Dennis, right book. I listened five days a week. I'm a fan. When you change your voice to mimic Adobe liberal, it sounds like fingernails on a chalkboard. I know this sounds petty, but maybe if other fans are also mentioned this, you might be mindful and not try to do that as much. Other than that, I'm all in. I'm glad you're out there in radio land. Dennis. Appreciate the uh, the constructive criticism,

and you know, it's always a balancing act. I can tell you that a few times when I went on, when I filled in for Rush Limball in the earlier days of my career. You know, I'm at that huge Rush Limball Mike. It's just a pretty incredible experience to reach that many people at a radio or with a radio Mike and I would get afterwards, especially if I did like Kassa Vilhelm Wilhelm de Blasio. Yeah, kutent talk, and I would do this whole you know, because build

a Blasio's real name is Kaiser Wilhelm. That or it wasn't Kaiser well and pardon me, it's Warren Wilhelm. It was not actually pardon me, it was not actually Kaiser Wilhelm. And I would get a hundred messages saying, oh my gosh, you're build the Blasio thing was hilarious. You need to do that like every show, all the time. And I would get you know, let's say thirty messages that were like, I love your entire show except for build the Blasio stuff.

Don't do that again, or I won't listen. And I would sit there and say, okay, well, you know what do I do? Now? You know, it's it's always a little bit of a balancing act and radio you just end up going with what you think, you know feels right with you, and then you you're trying adjust based on the sense you can get from the audience. But there's no there's no perfect dance with that. That said, Dennis, I'll try to make sure that I strike a better balance.

I appreciate the constructive criticism. Monty rights Buck, So glad you had Dan Bongino in the Freedom Hut, my two favorite podcast. I listen to your show on podcast form. Dan's enthusiasm and energy means I start my daily walk with my Chabrador a Lab Chow mix listening to Dan. Then it's Buck after I go on duty. Thanks for keeping us informed and entertained. Well, thank you for for listening. And yeah, Dan is a great guy. I've known Dan

in this business. Gosh, it's crazy, and I started thinking about this now I've I've I think I've known Dan Bongino for at least six years now, so we we go back quite a ways. Um, he's either a great guy and I'm very happy for him for all of

his success, richly deserved. I mean, he's a guy out there who's just making it happen by making a really good product and drawing in people that want to listen, you know, I you know, the Bongino model, Shapiro, some of the people who are out there now who are just building these really you know, these these massive audiences without having a huge traditional platform. I just think I

think that's so good for the national political conversation. I think it's so good for conservatism something we're doing here too. Of course, although I do have a lot of terrestrial, wonderful terrestrial affiliates, over a hundred and twenty of them, So that is a that is a traditional platform. I can't pretend that I don't have a traditional platform. I've got a great one. But the the digital platforms that people are building, Dan Bongino high up on that list,

are really really impressive. Uh, Brian writes buck heard you mentioned mistakes in speech like intensive purposes. Another good one is irregardless, no such word. My problem is the one person that I know who used the word as someone I can't correct my wife, Shields High, Well, Brian, your secret is safe with me, my friend.
