Can Trump Keep The Economy Great?

up from the Buck Sexton Show. Buck Sexton Remission, Decoding the news and disseminating information with actionable intelligence mag No mistake, America, You're a great American again. This is the Buck Sexton Show. Former CIA analysts. I can speak to three hours without a phone call. Try doing that sometime. No, Welcome to the Buck Sex and Show, everybody. Great to have you here with me. One of my last live shows. Coming to you from the swamp here in Washington, d C.

I'm beginning to get a bit of nostalgic. I mean, how will I go forth without riding an electric scooter past the White House every day? I just don't know what I'll do with myself. Actually, I'll do a lot of things. I think the swamp. I've had enough swamp for quite some time. It's been a formative experience or

a let's just say it's been an experience. Now I've enjoyed it down here, I've the good news is that there's a great crew of conservatives down here with me, and we make sure that we try to back up the administration as best we can. Well enjoying some delicious Scotch or tequila, whichever one you prefer. We've got a lot to get you today here on the show, my friends the economy will talk a bit about whether this is going to be This is the biggest challenge that

Trump has. This is the one thing the Achilles heel of the twenty twenty reelection is can he keep the economy on track. If the answer is yes, I think Trump is going to be just fine. I think we have four more years of the administration and I can't say we'll live happily ever after, but at least we'll have a better president than we would have from twenty twenty to twenty twenty four. But if things get ugly

on the economic front, who knows. You see the rise of these radicals on the Democrat left, the Sanders Warren wing of the party increasingly assertive. The media likes it, the media props it up. We'll talk about the candidate that I think has finally started to show us all who he or she is going to be going forward as the front runner or as the most likely nominee. But I don't want to get too far ahead of myself. We've been through quite an ordeal, my friends, as a country.

For the last week or so, it has been just NonStop verbal bludgeoning of Trump supporters and all this talk, all this just completely outrageous, exaggerated stuff about a white nationalist takeover of the country, a white nationalist in the White House, horrible smears, and I have to wonder at some point if the Democrats will just move on to

another topic because we do become numbed to their insanity. CNN, for example, has had a constant loop of people going on TV just to talk about how racist the president is all the time. I don't think this is making any new voters. I think this is just to play to the derangement of the CNN audience that thinks that Trump early is basically worse than Hitler or whatever it

is that they're saying these days. But even they might feel a bit of exhaustion from just yelling and screaming about how racist the administration, how xenophobic the administration is. Play clip seven. Well, we know about this administration, and we knew from you know, Donald Trump's treacherous history was race. We knew when he announced his campaign, We knew when he was questioning Barack Obama's citizenship and other rising him that anyone who is other, who they cannot trace through

their lineage, right, it's problematic. And so it is for that reason, Kate. I can't tell you how exhausting it is to talk about racism and xenophobia and this administration. But I also cannot express the outrage the exhaustion the people on the other side of that racism are feeling. So I will yell at about it and tell my voice this horse, this is a problem. This is something that we cannot sit idly by and watch. That's right, folks, they're telling us now. And this isn't just that one

CNN commentator. There are others in the left, you know, they're just they're just exhausted by telling us how racist the country is all the time, and how racist Trump is specifically, this has just become It's become beyond boring. It really is something that feels like it there needs to be a mass institutionalization of people that have internalized all this really believe the countries in the grips of some horrible racial breakdown, essentially that we can't handle this

president anymore. One other thing that I just I would note when when you push back, as I have been on that the primary talking point about how Trump is a racist comes from the left, from the Charlottesville perspective, they always say, Oh, and I just to be very clear, went back and read that transcript several times over watch that press conference where he said the both sides and he was not saying that Neo Nazis were good people.

That is a lie. It is a vicious and stupid and intentional lie that the media tells over and over because that is a foundational piece of the Trump is a racist storyline. That's what they keep saying. But you know, there are other people who you know, they also talk about the birth controversy, and there are other presidents who have had their place of birth question as it related to you know, this is this never the media never

talks about this. There were people who brought up questions about Senator John McCain's ability to be president because he was born in the Panama Canal Zone, for example. There are people who brought up questions about Romney, George Romney back in nineteen sixty eight because he was born in Chihuahua, Mexico, at a Mormon colony. Barry Goldwater born in the Arizona Territory in nineteen o nine before Arizona was in fact

a state. And there's even going back to eighteen eighty Charles Alan Arthur ran as a VP on the Garfield ticket, but there were rumors that Arthur was born in Canada and not Vermont. Folks, you know that we were told that Barack Obama, the whole Birther thing was all rooted in racism. Meanwhile, there have been controversy stretching back for well, by my account, over one hundred years about presidents where they were born and whether they were eligible for the presidency.

I have heard people say, and I'm sure Ted would not like this, but I've heard people say that Ted Cruz might have problems depending on your interpretation of who is a who is eligible to run for the presidency constitutionally because you know, Ted was born in Canada, so that this is again the race narrative is always, you know, you're It's just meant to be a propagandistic assault all the time. If you don't agree that Trump is a racist,

you're a racist. If you try to get into the why do you think this, you're a racist too, You're a white. It's just overwhelming how much this is repeated on team It's like this is the only thing the media wants to talk about. Oh, that's right now that the Russia collusion farce has collapsed, and only bitter clingers to the Russia collusion conspiracy are still running around pretending like that's actually going to mean anything in the next election.

Let's also not forget that they're supposed to be a report coming out from the Department of Justice looking into possible malfeasance on their side. The Inspector General's looking into this, and then there's the attorney that Bill Barr has appointed from Connecticut to look into more allegations of improper conduct from the Department of Justice of a politicize nature. So we might get some it might be a rough September, folks,

for the deep state and for the Dems. But in the meantime, I just think the sheer the exhaustion that the left thinks that they feel from just shrieking constantly about Trump's non existent racism. I mean, they can never point to a statement that he's made when you look at it in context and with his intent, was actually racist. It's always they take something and you know, they say that it is something that it's not, and then oh, that's the racism, and if you don't agree with that,

you're a terrible person. They I think they're not fatigue from repeating so much about how Trump is all white nationals. I think the fatigue comes from just constantly having to repeat this lie so that people will believe it. But there are other things going on, like the border, immigration, the economy, the Democratic primary. We have a very busy show to get to, so let's not get too deep in the weeds on the left hysterical accusations today about racism.

Let's actually look at policy and the future and what's going to be happening in this country. We'll be right back. As a young agent, I was watching ten people get away. For every person, we caught hundreds of thousands of millions of people getting in. And you walk up and down this border. Now it feels secure. Fifty seven miles of new border barrier fourteen miles completed just last week, stretching from the Pacific Ocean east according to CBP, and there

is more to come. This infrastructure freed up one hundred and fifty agents every twenty four hours to be shifted into more remote areas. The fence doesn't stop everyone, but it does buy agents time. These two men found a hole in the secondary fence, but ran back when they saw a border patrol. However, unable to scale the primary fence without a ladder, they're apprehended in between. By sixty days,

our apps have gone down by forty three percent. Fence works, folks, and you've got a new fence being built, new wall being built. Oh you'll remember that's because Trump won in court after they said that he would lose in court.

How many legal analysts at this point should people no longer listen to on TV because they tell the audience, the left wing audience, what they want to hear, which is Trump is destroying the Constitution and then turns out, oh no, actually, Trump was right, the administration was correct.

They do have the right to do this, and we never hear about it again in that vein you had in front of the Ninth Circuit three judges today hearing about Trump's termination of Temporary protected status, which is a

fancy way of saying Obama's lawless DACA decision. It's important to remember the history here, folks, because DACA came from the president, the former president the United States, Barack Obama, not getting what he wanted from the legislature, telling us while he wasn't getting them hansive immigration reform, which was amnesty, telling us that that's why that he couldn't do anything about it. And then after saying he couldn't do anything and Congress didn't do what he wanted, he said, Okay,

I'm just gonna do it anyway. I got a pen on a phone, got a pen and a phone, and so he decided to take unilateral and lawless action just to say that, Okay, doesn't matter what the legislative bodies have written, doesn't matter what the law actually says. We're just going to tell people you can break this law. Because I say, so you can be here in violation of federal statute. Obama said, because he says so. Well,

a judge heard this today. A sorry, three judges on the Ninth Circuit, and I'll give you a little bit of a The Ninth Circuit heard the case. The three panel judge is composed of Judge Consualo Callahan, a George W. Bush appointee, Morgan Kristen and Obama appointee who want who wants to guess what Judge Kristen's gonna decide here? Oh, but our core aren't politicized? And Ryan Nelson, a Trump appointee. Judge Nelson. This is from a reporter with Politico Ted Hessan.

Judge Nelson argued, the district court judge who blocked Trump's TPS termination quote made so many errors, violated the law in so many ways. The other two judges on the panel haven't been as telling about their view of the lower court decision. Made so many errors and violated the law in so many ways. That's a description not just of the lower court judge, but could very well be a description of what Obama himself did. Violated the law in so many ways. The whole thing is an error.

This is the very simplified version of what has happened. Here is the hashtag resistance judiciary deciding that President Trump does not have the full powers of the presidency. Only Obama had the full power or really extra presidential power. Oh yeah, we're just going to tell people that are

breaking the law. You know, this is no different folks than if you had a Republican president who came in and said, hey, if you refuse to pay federal income taxes, we're just going to call you, you know, tax tax sideliners because you're just staying on the sidelines while this whole tax thing plays out. So we're not going to prosecute you. Okay, Well there's the problem with that, right, because there's statutes that if you don't do this, you'll

get prosecuted. So, I mean, if a president can do that and just say well, we're just not a whole class of criminals will no longer be prosecuted. It's not the same thing as saying they're all going to be pardoned, which then you can get into how that would work.

But we're just not going to hold you in violation law and in fact give you government benefits that you would not be entitled to, which is what happened with the Temporary Protected Status DACA deferred action for child that arrivals, right the same thing, but judge came along and said, oh no, you can't undo this. What Obama had the discretion to do, Trump does not have the authority and

discretion to undo. This is ridiculous, and anyone who spends any time thinking about it knows right away that it is ridiculous. But this is what we're being told. This is what the left offers up as Trump is the one who's violent in the constitution. Meanwhile, he's right on the wall, he's right on DACA switching DOCCA back to what it was, which is rule of law. He's right

on the Muslim band accord of the Supreme Court. He keeps winning these, but it takes time and it takes effort, and the media creates this narrative of the lawlessness of

the Trump administration. Meanwhile, who's really lawless the lib activist judges that try to stop him from doing what he is constitutionally authorized from doing, because then like it or the Trump administration that when you get one federal or you get one universal injunction, from some federal Obama point, see some federal judge, and or you know, somebody from the Clinton and sometimes it's even unfortune Republican administrations at a point, crappy left wing judges. You get one federal

judges says, oh, you can't do that, mister president. What does our so called tyrant Trump do? American libs are always saying, oh, he's destroying the constitution, we can't handle four more years this. His administration goes, okay, we'll go through the process, we'll see you in court, and then they win and the news stories. I mean, one of the reasons I'm telling you about this is because on

immigration specifically, you know, Trump is building a wall. Trump is trying to change the asylum scam that all these Central Americans are running. So it can't be done anymore. I mean, he's the administration is taking action, but their hands are tied all the time in bad faith by leftist activist judges, and the media megaphone from the mainstream

is just dying about it all the time. So that's why, as much as he has not been able to deliver yet on the promises at the border, I also have to say, you know, he's dealing with unprecedented obstruction from the bench, from the federal judiciary as well. Because remember it's one thing to say, oh, they're not letting Trump do what he wants, they're obstructing him. And then it's no, no, these lower judges a lot him in the Ninth Circuit, right,

the crazy Ninth Circuit. These lower judges are wrong. Their interpretation of the law keeps getting overturned. So Trump is right, this isn't you know. With Obama, there were all these power grabs he did, and Obama kept lot his administration lost in court over and over again. Obama tried to tell the Senate when it was and was not in session so he could make appointments recess appointments. The Senate's like, sorry, we're in session now, you can't tell us when we're

not in session. Obama's like, yeah, actually I can. You know, that's just one of many times when he lost and what was a clear naked power grab. But with Trump, they say he's making a power grab when really they're actually taking power away from him as president because they don't believe he's a legitimate president. That's part of it. And then when we find out that turns out the Trump administration interpretation of the law, and this is particularly

the case on border and immigration issues. When it turns out Trump is right, then the story disappears, but the damage has already done. You have the Trump deranged left thinking that he's this horrible tyrant and you know, he's done all these awful things, and what are we ever going to do. Gotta stay we gotta stay focused on what matters here. We can't let the left determine what the narrative will be for the rest of us, because they're going to switch pretty soon here into o se.

Trump didn't even fulfill the promises to his base. Trump was a con man all along. This is what they'll be telling you. And on the issue of immigration specifically, which is one of the main ways that Trump became president United States, it's not fair to put all the blame on his shoulders, given the dirty tactics of the Democrats up to this point and the courts aiding them in this process. In media in general, there is a framework.

New York Times operates on, the the Washington Post operates on, the CNN operates on. For example, I've been in politics for a few years, you know what now one reporter has ever asked a Burnie, what are you going to do about the test level of income and wealth? In equality? You can ask an is that part of what the media talks about? What are you gonna do about three people on equal wealth for the bottom half of Bernie? What are you going to do about forty million Americans

living in poverty? Five hundred thousand people sleeping out on the street. Why is it, Bernie that we are the only major country on Earth that doesn't guarantee healthcare to all people and we spend devices lunch per person as other industrialized countries. Do you hear that Christian eulf asked by the court of mediator another? But by not asking my questions that make for the media unfair? It doesn't the way. It doesn't mean it's unfit to me personally.

But if those are the issues of I am campaigning on, those are the issues that I cannot talk about, then what I am trying to do? Does I cut out to the American people? Why is it that reporters are not approaching me with questions that are based on the framework of my socialism, my Marxism, and my desire to destroy the American economy as fast as possible. Someone answer me that question. Bernie's a radical. Folks shouldn't lose sight

of that. You know, if we had a parliamentary system, if you look at different governments around the world, there are people within those within the elected the realm of elected officials who are radicals in their system. We have a two party system, really, I mean, I know their independence. We have a two party system, and so we we give a lot of cover to Democrats because we say, well, they're Democrats. I mean, they're all kind of it's all

kind of similar the same. Bernie is something different. Bernie is I will say this again later on the show. We'll talk about true believers. Bernie is a true believer. I think that this is someone who, if he had the authority, would believe that shared misery is more important to institute in this country economically than unequal but widespread prosperity.

And this is a psychological disposition that you see among Marxist leaders around the world, among the socialists, and Bernie Sanders is a socialist, they would prefer the equal sharing of misery to borrow from Churchill than the unequal distribution of blessings. Bernie's talking about the grotesque level of income and wealth inequality. What are they really going to do

to deal with that? Let me tell you something. Unless you're talking about a wealth tax, which would see so you would see so many liberals, wealthy elite coastal liberals lose their minds at the prospect of a real wealth tax. All you're really doing is trying to put greater burdens on those who rely on income and labor and work to support themselves and to try to get ahead. There is no such thing as a part of America where if you're making one hundred, one hundred and fifty thousand

dollars a year you're a rich person. But if you're making one hundred and fifty grand you're paying a lot in taxes, folks, a lot, and Bernie wants you to pay more under the rubric of millionaires and billionaires. We know he's talking less about the millionaires now because he is, in fact a millionaire. Bernie is a socialist who owns three houses. A socialist with three house that's the kind of socialist I want to be, and who I think

made nine hundred thousand dollars last year. Wasn't that what it was mostly off of a book or off of income that he gets from that book. But Bernie is to be taken seriously because guess who else is surging right now? Elizabeth Warren. Elizabeth Warren I just saw in a poll today is right there, right up there with Joe Biden. I think within a point. Warren all along has been the candidate that seemed the most likely to

bridge the establishment with the radical left. If she starts to get some numbers behind her, if the poll start to show, I think you'll see the ship. Because they I've been saying it can't be Biden, it can't be Biden. I mean I shouldn't say it can't be because he is the He's still the default candidate if nothing really coalesces behind any particular contender other than Biden. But that guy, he can't get it done. He's not going to be able to be Trump's people aren't going to say, oh yeah,

give me some of that. Joe Biden. He's going to be the guy that inspires people. But Elizabeth Warren, now you get first female president. Now you've got somebody with an academic pedigree that liberals are gonna love and who is trusted by the far left and is liked enough by the establishment. I could see this being very real. And by the way, she is also a radical. She's also someone who believes very much just like Bernie does in the radical redistribution of wealth as a moral imperative.

It's not about what will make you or me wealthier or happier anything else. It's those rich people. They're bad. We're gonna go after them. But by the way, they claim they're going to go after the rich people, but they can't go after the rich people because there are too many rich Democrats. You know what they're gonna do. They're gonna make it harder for all the rest of us.

They're trying to get our piece of the Americans and trying to build our wealth, trying to get to that next place where you have some feeling of economic security and prosperity. Bernie's telling you he's going to raise your taxes to pay for the amazing healthcare that he's going to give you courtesy of the government. Doesn't even think it's going to be good. You really want that healthcare.

You want that healthcare system run by the same people that couldn't keep Epstein alive with two prison guards falling asleep. That's the story today. Two prison guards falling asleep who are supposed to be making sure that the highest profile federal prisoner in the system did not kill himself, and oh what a shock he ended up killing himself. That system is going to be in charge of whether you know, whether you have an early stage intervention to prevent a

heart attack or not. You want them to be making that call. Wow, a lot more faith in government than I've got, friends. But also Warren is, I do respect the fact that she is like the terminator of politics after that unbelievable debacle of one one twenty fourth Cherokee and saying that, see, I'm right, guys, I'm one twenty fourth Cherokee. She's still a serious contender, and she'll say whatever she has to, including jumping on this whole Trump

is so racist thing. Play six. This is a man who is president of the United States refers to people in Charlottesville who are white supremacists as fine people. A man who says he doesn't want any more immigrants coming

here from all countries. A man who describes people who flee for their lives from Central America as mounting an invasion on our country, a man who has used racist language and racist imagery over and over and over, and most of all, a man who winks and nods at the white supremacists, and who in turn is embraced and

celebrated by the white supremacists. You know, when the white supremacists called Donald Trump one of their own, I tend to believe them disgusting, intellectually dishonest, a liar, a fraud, a perfect Democrat, a perfect leftist. I think it is going to be Warren. I really, do you heard it from me? Now I've told you it's not going to be Biden. I think that it's going to be Warren with all the all the stuff that comes along with that.

Get ready in America, because she is every bit as dangerous to the economy as Bernie Sanders is and even more self righteous. One thing culture that goes on in politics that I find really dismaying. Politicians need money. A lot of them aren't that wealthy. They live on their showeries one hundred and a half a year. They're not They're not crying, but they love travel and private planes. They have to get around for their professional and political races.

They become so called friends with the wrong freaking people. And these people are frightening and they want something from They want the prestige of hanging around a politician, and they these the relationships are awful. The names that have come. I don't want to use their names tonight, but the names, why do these people know a guy like this guy Epstein? Why don't even want to know them? Yeah? Please made yea queas made this guy's got his own show, folks

cable news. I play the audio sound bites mostly because it's like a game. Can I even understand what he's what he's blabbering about? But I noticed the focus on how Yeah, so you know private planes. Politicians they make friends with shady people because they like the private planes. Um,

you know who really like the private planes? Bill Clinton and you know who like the private planes even apart from the Epsteins that the Clinton Foundation, which I believe spent fifty million dollars on private private plane travel over the course of the Clinton foundations heyday, which was until people realize Hillary Clinton wasn't going to be president anymore.

Almost like it was a giant access selling operation under the guise of a charitable organization where you could buy access so that you were supporting the global brand of the Clintons and if you're an American citizen, get a tax write off for it too. But they're going to have to explain the four trip versus twenty seven trip disparity at some point with Bill Clinton. I know they've said, oh, it's about trips versus individual flights. Twenty seven flights, folks,

is a lot of flights. There are a lot of people in America that have private planes. I mean, I don't really know any, but there are a lot of people who do, and twenty seven flights is a lot, a lot to take. So I just would note that they're they're gonna do what they can to defend the Clinton legacy. Remember they've already defended Clinton. Well, we know he's I mean, we know Clinton's a predator. It's just this is just a different a different degree, a different

level when you're talking about what Epstein did. But Bill Clinton has been credibly accused of sexual assault by women who if there's anything about a right to be believed those women were in the place that they said attacked by Clinton. There's plenty of circumstantial evidence to support their claims. There's none of this. Oh this was, you know, thirty years ago. I don't remember anything. I just remember that the bad man did the bad thing to me when

it's politically advantageous for Democrats. This is not a Kavanaugh situation, but they will do everything they can to defend the Clinton legacy. I think in part because they also they don't have a dynasty right now to back. It doesn't look like Michelle Obama's going to run a Barack Obamas children are too young to run, so there is no dynasty in place. And I do think Democrats realize that the Trump's there are a couple of players there who might decide to run at some point in the future.

So just keep keep an eye on the narrative, keep an eye on what they're gonna do here with the Epstein case. Because they keep trying so despolute to tie it to Trump and deflect from anything Clinton related. You know that they are not They are not being honest in this process, that much is for sure. Also wanted to just bring up the latest on the gun control

side of things here the Democrats. You'll notice that the frenzy has died down, but Trump still has mentioned yeah, maybe maybe we'll do I don't think any other guy's gonna happen. We keep going through this. There's a situation where the Democrats are saying we need to have gun control, and then they don't actually get this legislation. Let's see Nancy Pelosi gave us a view of what's coming forward here play fourteen. In the near near future, we must

pass gun violence prevention legislation. Every day we lose lives, and now public sentiment must weigh in to save lives, to pass our bill, and to look at high capacity magazines that should be eliminated as well, high capacity magazines. Going to get rid of what is assault rifles and high capacity magazines. Members of Congress, I know that they're they're pushing for a ban on semi automatic rifles, assault rifles, and they're also trying to get rid of high capacity magazines.

There are so many of these magazines already in circulation that any possibility of really meaningfully getting rid of them when it's it's not even that hard to make. It's not hard to make them, folks. So if somebody really wants to be a bad guy and they're willing to spend the time, they'll find a way to either get their hands on an existing high capacity mat which I

don't even know what that's supposed to mean. I think in New York it's it meant ten rounds, which means that if you have a standard magazine, saying a Glock nineteen, you would be in trouble or you'd have to have that they create this piece that you put in the magazine. I think that they sell these essentially makes it so that you can't fill the magazine all the way. I mean, I'm pretty sure the bad guys are gonna say no,

I want more. But I am seeing here and producer Mike flagged this for me as we're as we were on air, you have oh gosh, here we go. Four four Philadelphia police officers have been shot in the Nice Town, Tioga section, according to a CBS affiliate here in Philadelphia, and they were rushed to the hospital. No officers are believed to be to have life threatening injuries right now, and this was in response to a call for narcotics

related to a narcotics activity in the area. Producer Mike, do we have any do you have any other updates or or context to add to this and see this is just breaking. This is near Temple University. You're a Philly guy, so what is this in a Is this in a rough neighborhood? What's going very rough neighborhoods? Yeah, it's up to a five officer shot now. Um, but yeah, the nice Time Tayoga Section is in the north part of Philadelphia, right near a temple and it's is an

extremely rough area. So this looks to be like a shootout, probably narcotics related with cops, not say, from what we see right now, active targeting of law enforcement. That seems to be the takeaway so far. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, I looked like they're responding to a narcotics call and they're still drawn in. It's it's just shootout. It's ongoing and it's not over yet. So hopefully nobody else gets here. Man. All right, Well, as we have any updates on that,

we will certainly let you guys know. I'm curious to see you know, just as I'm here talking about how they're I don't think they're going to get legislation to change change anything with guns. You know, you have a shooting like this, if it turns out that the individual who engaged these cops had a if he has a high capacity magazine, if he has a semi automatic rifle. Uh, then we're going to be here. You know. That'll put

a whole new push behind this. So this could you know, this is the this is the new cycle we're in folks. You know, one second you're thinking, all right, it looks like this this momentum has stalled to change gun laws in this country. But now with this, we'll have We'll

have to see. Um. I do remember I think there was a major shootout with FBI officers and a couple of guys down and I think it was in the area of Miami Dade back in I want to say, the eighties and the nineties, and that led to some real outcrut because because the cops were outgunned by these two guys. And I think that that's when the I think they might have changed over to fifteen round magazines at the FBI at that point. But anyway, we'll see

if this has any effect on the legislative situation. The shooting Philadelphia. Mike's from Philly. He'll he'll keep an eye and it. While we're on air, and we'll come back to your team in a few minutes. You said, this administration has established concentration camps on the southern border of the United States for immigrants, where they're being brutalized into humanizing conditions and dying. You've got a lot of grief for using the word concentration camps. Do you regret that

or do you think people misinterpret it? Yeah, well, I think I think there's a there's a few things that play one. I don't regret it at all. Doesn't regret using concentration camps. Really, the the idiot in chief of the Democrats isn't ever going to back down off this stuff because it's about playing to the most frenzied, brainwashed left wingers in the country, people who just cannot open their minds to any on our argument for a second because it would shatter their sense of who they are.

They are the good people, the smart people, the caring people, the Democrat people. Can't change it up for them, can't have them think about things critically, always going to falter when you have a discussion with them on their need to feel like they are superior to you, and AOC certainly plays into that. Democrats are now an open borders party. They're absolutely undermining law enforcement and advocating for the California

Plan for America. The California Plan is pretty straightforward. Change the demographics of the United States in key states California has already won such that you make it a one party stronghold, and then you control all national elections going forward. Most immigrants in the country are concentrated, and that includes illegal immigrants, are concentrated in the following states New York, Texas, Florida, California. If you have those states as Democrat one party rule states,

guess what it's all over. Republican Party is toast. So what are we supposed to make of Democrats focusing in on the treatment of migrants who are illegally crossing our border and acting like yelling kids in cages, kids in cages, and talking about concentration camps. They're emotionalizing the issue because they can't win a rational argument, and heaven forbid we spend any time thinking about what the real Democrats strategy is, which is to establish one party rule in America by

the left and by the socialists. That's what they're doing. That is the plan they've already done it in California. This is not some bizarre theory that is being concocted in the fever swamp of the internet somewhere. I mean,

this is what's happening. But as long as it's as long as they allow themselves to seize the emotional high ground, they know that the left will be with them, and the fact that she won't back off the concentration camps comment just tells you everything you really need to know. And she's she's a reckless person, an unethical person, and as a disgrace. And it's you know, it used to be, oh,

she's young, she's new. She says dumb things, but people think it's kind of cute sometimes or I know you don't, but people would. And now you realize that, no, this is this is a problem, this mentality, this ideology, the way that the Democrats are embracing this extreme They keep saying that Republicans use extreme rhetoric, and I'm looking for this extreme rhetoric and I don't see it. Democrats say extreme,

crazy stuff all the time. Republicans they always have to refer back to something Trump said, you know, six months or two years ago, and change what he said, so that it sounds worse not backing off of the concentration camps comment. Oh, by the way, Frank, this is another speaking of whose which side's really crazy? That's a game that we should continue to play here on show Democrats and Republicans. Who's really crazy? Frank Figliuzzi, It is fun

to say his name. I will say that I believe he's the same guy who did the whole August eighth, white supremacist eight eighth thing over at MSNBC. I think he's that guy just because I remember the name now, which is impressive. It is impressive to have accomplished the feat of the single dumbest SoundBite of national security analysis, maybe in the history of cable TV, but definitely in recent memory. But he's got more where that came from, folks.

I'm sure they got a big contributor contract for him. Over at MSNBC. Here is former FBI official Deep State Officionado. I am sure Frank Figliuzzi saying some really sweet things about Trump supporters. Played twelve. This is why it's so important to look through the lens of radicalization when you look at as president and then apply counter radicalization techniques, because you're right, attacking his followers is going to be counterproductive.

He demands that loyalty, and they are loyal. So if you call Trump followers racist and mass they simply coalesce around each other and become even more defensive and protective of the leader, just as they would in say, a terrorist organization, just as they would in a terrorist organization. That's right. The sixty million plus Americans who voted for Trump were just like a really big terrorist organization. Miss

Guy's a moron. You know. One thing that makes me sad is that there's no we never get the opportunity to debate the left anymore. They won't do it. They won't They won't crawl out of their established lib safe zones long enough to have to face somebody on the other side who has another point of view. I never see good debates on TV anymore. It's very, very rare because any leftist with any standing will only go on places where they have the Anderson Cooper effect, like with

Max boot last night. I mean Max Boot. I know I'm jumping around here, but Max Boot I worked at the Council on Foreign Relations as an intern. When he was there as a fellow, and nobody liked him. We'll tell you that he was not. They did not like him in the building anybody. But he was a conservative. So I felt a degree of like, hey, I've got some solidarity with this guy. I mean, he has he has all the charm of a goose turd. But you know, I figured he's a conservative. And I knew I was

a conservative at that point. I graduated college, and you know, I figured I was going to go to the CIA trying to find bin lad and try to help America out. So and Boot has now made a whole second career for himself by trashing conservatives, not just Trump, trashing conservatives,

saying that white nationalism has overtaken National Review. You know, a place where friends of mine like Charles Cook and Andy McCarthy and Kevin Williamson and people you hear on this show, National Review has been overtaken by white supremacy. And he went on air last night with Anderson Cooper, and I was it was embarrassing. I mean, Anderson Cooper show is a trash is a trash dump it really is. It's a dumpster fire of lib partisan but like pseudo serious.

At the same time, you know, we're just drawing journalism here. You know. It's the one where they had the woman on who said that she thought quote rape was sexy. You know, the woman that they put on TV in prime time to accuse the president of being a rapist. They put a lunatic, an actual crazy person on TV in primetime. But I remember what they did when they end that guy who I actually know him, Sam sam Numberg.

I mean, he was having something of a nervous breakdown and went on all these different shows and clearly was not in his right mind, and they kept putting it. They put him on show after show, off the show at CNN because he was saying stuff about Trump that they thought they that their audience would want to hear. And there's no ethics, no decency whatsoever. But yeah, Max's boot. They put him on TV. So you know, he trashes conservatives. You never have people who are shown as Democrats who

are really just right wingers there to trash Democrats. That doesn't happen. You have Trojan Horse conservatives all over the media now, all over the place. You know, they say, oh I'm a consern I'm a real conservative. And let me tell you now why Trump and everything he stands for is terrible, really, deregulation, cutting taxes, securing our border, giving power back to states. Maybe what what is so

anti conservative about the Trump agenda? Not starting wars? We don't have to start, not intervening in countries, or we don't have an important US national security interest. Oh, but they just trash conservatives all the time. And this is the discourse on cable news has devolved so much that you see places that I hope they I mean, I hope that these some of these shows and some of these pundits never recover in the sense that they are never believed to be objective again, because they were never

objective in the first place. I mean, I think this is true of MSNBC now and CNN. But we'll see. But figlots. He's saying Trump supporters or terrorists to bring us, bring us all the way back to the center here, and how you shouldn't you shouldn't attack Trump supporters because they'll just coalesce around the leader. You know what this is? This is them admitting. Okay, so we tried to just bash Trump supporters into submission last week. That didn't work.

So now let's pretend like we're above that. Now, let's tell our left wing moon audience at MSNBC that we're not going to attack Trump supporters because that just makes them circle around Trump. We've got better ideas. I got news for you, folks. They don't have better ideas. In fact, the Democratic Party is largely out of ideas. What does it have? Identity? Politics and socialism, those two concepts applied to politics and culture and economics. That is the Democratic Party.

That's really all they've got. Some of you are probably yelling and satanism, but that's a discussion for another time. Are we going into recession? So I think the answer is most likely no. I think that the US economy has enough strength to avoid that. But the odds have clearly risen, and they're higher than I'm frankly comfortable with.

Oh boy, I have been telling this. In fact, my old co host at Rising would admit, I'm sure if we got her to call in the show sometime that I've been saying for the last year and a half that the only way Trump is gonna lose it's not going to be Russia collusion. It's not going to be Oh, he's social racist, he's a white nationalist, all this other crap. They say, the only way Trump might lose is if we just head into a nasty cyclical recession in the

year of the election. And this is gonna be very tough because there's a tremendous amount of incentive that the media has, including the financial media, to just get to

tell stories that will get eyeballs and attention. And that's gonna be oh my gosh, oh my gosh, you're gonna hear a lot of the sky is falling because every time I'm gonna look at the Drudge Report right now, yields flash recession warning, stocks dive down eight hundred points, banks hammered, everyone's freaking out, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria. I'm here to make some some predictions about

the economy. Now, I am not an economist, I'm not a market watcher, nor do I play one on TV. But here's what I'm gonna tell you. The likelihood of a recession is serious. That's that's something we do have today. We do have to look at as it's if you look at about every ten years or so historic we hit into it and stocks have been white hot. I mean, it has just been absolutely on a tear here, even this enormous bull marketed hitting records and there's going to

be a cool off. We have a tremendous amount of debt that has accumulated. We have a fair amount of bad debt out there, a lot of subprime auto loans. This trillion was at one point two trillion now and there was a one point six trillion. And student loans, a lot of them aren't going to get paid back. They're talking about. You know, we're also in this uncharted territory of I was going to talk about the forgiveness of student loans, which is another way of just saying

socializing those debts among the rest of the economy. But we're heading into uncharted territory with a massive unwinding of what has been done here with all the stimulus, the enormous balance sheet that the Fed has now the twenty two going on twenty three trillion, I believe of total total government debt. And you know, no one sees this stuff coming because the incentives aren't aligned. And seeing it

coming when the stock markets doing great. If you're somebody who knows the market, you don't you usually tell people bye bye bye. Get in getting because that's how people make money, and you want to keep making money until the very endial things turn around. Now, you may not care that much about this or you I don't know, I don't know how many of you are active investors, but it matters to what will happen with the broader economy, with employment, with four one ks, with pension plans. That's

why the stock market as an indicator is important. Even though you'll have idiot leftists who go in TV. Only twenty percent of Americans actively own stocks and manage them whatever it is, okay, yeah, but the markets tell us things. The markets speak in different ways. Very few people can

really decipher what it is. I'm always amazed at how often if I'm flipping around the channels, you turn on CNBC or one of these things is where there's the markets you're opening are down and they're up and they're down, and you know, uncertainty you're overtrade with China is really driving this thing, really, because we've had uncertainty overtrade with China for like the last year and change. That's what's

driving the market down today. I just I'm not pretending to be an expert, folks, but It's kind of like the climate change stuff at some point where you just know when someone's been wrong enough times that they don't know what the heck they're talking about. It's just like going on whatever he wants to climb market, up market, down market, go all around, do the hokey pokey and you shake it in. Then you know the thing, and what does it? Shake it all around? That's right, I

forgot about the hokey pokey. And what was the last time you heard about the hokey pokey? Mark? It's probably been a while. I do it once a week. Dude. You're always there for me. Mark. It's what I like about you. So anyway, the market's gonna get bad, and you know, I think that that's going to be a problem for Trump, even though here's a prediction that I have for you. For sure, this market go south and all of a sudden, employments unemployment starts ticking up, and

things aren't looking quite as rosy. All the people that we're saying that as of six months ago, we're saying it's the Obama economy. It's the Obama economy. They're gonna go, ah, just kidding, it's actually the Trump economy. The Trump economy of course, because now it's bad. They were so willing to take the credit. Now they will not take the blame. And I do think that it's cyclical. And look, Trump's been spending of this governments and spending a lot that

the good times have been rolling. There's going to be a correction. There always is. There's going to be a change in the trajectory. And this is when you start to think about hard assets. You start thinking about property, you start thinking about gold, different ways of trying to hedge against this. All future is uncertain, you know, That's one of my mantras. No one can tell the future, but you can also look at trends and try to

make preparations for them. How does crypto factor into all this? Cryptocurrencies? I think you're gonna hear a lot more talk about that, because right, and that the dollar has been so strong for so long that has been it's been very hard to see how anything else would come along. But remember it's when you ride the wave of consensus in these in these financial situations, that things get really bad, really fast. When the words I think it's Gordon Gecko says, those

guys are sheep and sheep gets slaughtered. Gordon Gecko is like the greatest Wall Street character of all time. It's funny people really liked They liked Gordon Gecko so much that there are people that were after the movie Wall Street came out, they said they wanted to be stockbrokers because the bad guy from the movie Wall Street was so cool. So yeah, that could happen. People love Gordon Gecko anyway. Look, I don't think that this is going

to get super ugly economically. I don't think it's gonna get that bad. But brace yourselves because there's gonna be a total will change in narrative and all the focus on Russia and racism and all of that has been in part driven by the lack of a coherent Democrat narrative. And what is the counter narrative to the country's doing well. I keep coming on air, I tell you this, the country is doing well. Democrats go, no, it's not really. We're not fighting any huge wars, We're not suffering through

bad employment times or markets that are crashing out. So

what exactly is the government's supposed to be? I mean, the border is not good, but that's because Democrats won't allow it to be secured what exactly is so terrible in the country right now, And I just see that this could shift very rapidly, This could change, and we find ourselves in a situation where we're going to have to be explaining the Trump tax cut and all this other stuff that has looked so good so far in an economic environment where look, it might just be a

sell off and a temporary thing. But if the timing of a market downturn, at the timing of an economic shift in momentum, things start going south on us. If that coincides at the election, this thing gets very close, very quickly. And I'm not thinking that Trump sails to reelection the way I would. Right now, we know that we also face foreign influence that is being denied by the White House, by the would be dictator of Donald Trump. But also that Moscow Mitch is stopping voter rights legislation

and election security legislation. But we also know that they just lifted a consent decree that's kept Republicans and the RNC from going into local communities and intimidating voters by having off duty officers tell people that they're monitoring their votes. For the first time since nineteen eighty one, The RNC will be allowed to cheat and lie and go into

polling places and scare voters, particularly voters of color. Stacy Abrams, who has yet to win any political contest of any kind, is allowed to get away with claiming repeatedly and in public that she didn't win the Georgia gubernatorial race because she was cheated because of voter suppression. Now, I remember when it was a laugh line that Hillary would tell her supporters because you know, I'm with her, Hello, I'm with her. Still. How much do you miss Hillary? Right now?

Have you checked under your better in your closet? You never know, and there's going to be a Clinton waiting for you somewhere, going to jump out and scare you. But when we were looking at that election, the big joke was that maybe Donald Trump would not accept the results.

Now you have not only of course Democrats. They didn't accept the results of the election with the whole Russia collusion conspiracy fairy tale, fairytale for them, nightmare for the country because of all the resources wasted, all the time gobbled up by this, and it was just the whole thing was absurd. But now you have Stacy Abrams, who has become immedia celebrity for saying things that are demonstrably

and provably untrue about the governor's race in Georgia. It is just not the case that there was illegal voter suppression. If there was, we would have heard about it by now. But she just keeps saying this, and she goes around now as a voting rights advocate, which I just have to say, I mean, this is at some point going to run up against the reality of a lot of these areas where Democrats always claim there's going to be

voter suppression have record high turnout. They did this happen in twenty sixteen, It's happened in twenty eighteen as all. But because of some change to a polling place or the whatever it is. Democrats always claim that it's an effort to suppress minority votes. Anything you do in an election that is a change that a Republican does, they say it's to suppress already votes. This is the standard line. Oh okay, maybe you need to have ID at the

polling place. Oh my gosh, they're suppressing minority votes. The Supreme Court already ruled that voter ideas is not a legal disenfranchisement of voters that you do have a basic interest. And that's why I'm when they talk about this elect notice how it just faded away, you know. And I was on the Bill Mars show that he opened the show.

I was surprised. We talked with us first with how the Republicans weren't voting on this you know, eight hundred million dollars voting security package or you know, protecting polling places from cyber hacking. I said, they tried to ram through using unanimous consent, which is meant for naming a post office somewhere. Unanimous consent is like, hey, everybody on the Senate floor, can we all like a journe at three o'clock today so we can all go play in

the softball game? Sweet cool? I mean, it's not meant for, hey, let's spend eight hundred million dollars change laws about voting, established new federal statutes that will require mandate reporting for all these different Russia collusion you know, fairy tale things about how there might be a foreigner who's offering you information. No, you don't do that with unanimous consent, which is what

the Damns were doing. But they did that so they can put forward something that they knew wasn't going to get through, and then the lib media would say, oh my gosh, they don't want to do voter security. They don't. Then you say, okay, what about voter ID, Oh, voter IDA nothing, okay, Well, then a hundred guys name Yuri, who you work for the FSB or it would really actually be I suppose the SVR, but who work for

Russian intelligence. They could just show up here or the GRU if you wanted to the military side, folks, Oh that's right, Russian Intel one o one. But they could show up here and have a hundred of them just voting and voting and voting. It doesn't take that many votes to flip some of these districts. To flip flip some of these states, you could say, well, they'd never do that, okay, but why not make sure they couldn't do it? Why not make it just a little bit harder.

Any security precaution can be beaten, there's always a way around that. It's it's an issue of elevating the difficulty of engaging in the illicit behavior. True of criminal security precaution, andy terrors and stuff across the board but Stacy Abrams is just the purveyor of a fiction that Democrats like to tell themselves, which is one that she really was the winner of the Georgia governor's race, which is it's just not true, and also that there's a need to

tackle this nationwide voter suppression effort. I mean, this is all emotion, folks. It's like when we hear about jerrymandering from Democrats. Guess what Democrats jerrymander two And when you bring this up, they'll admit it. Then they'll say, but Republicans do it worse, says who how I'll hear this from people all but Republicans are worse about jerrymandering another

or not both sides erry mander. It's a question of what the realities are in any given state at any given time, who runs the legislature and what the districts look like. But they're both jerrymandering. They're both doing it. But this is like when Democrats say we don't want money in politics, really like, you don't want Tom Steyer and George Soros and you know, go down. You don't want Michael Bloomberg. Oh yeah, there's there's no rich lives throwing a lot of money around in politics. Oh no,

that never happens. I mean, this is just this is a delusion, but it's it's a it's a cultural thing on the left to believe that they don't want money in politics, that they want more, because what that really comes down to is that not only a Republicans racist, of course, that's why they want to suppress the vote, but that the Democrats would win every election if only more people who could vote did vote. And to this, I say, well, for one thing, I don't want more

people voting. I don't want people voting who are engaged and feel the need to vote, because if it's people that don't really care, which the media knows, then the left wing dominance of our media ecosystem is a huge asset to Democrats. I don't want the low information voters to turn out in droves. I want people that follow things, that care, that know what's going on. That's just a baseline, and this is just my preference, but that's my baseline.

That's why I don't believe in mandatory voting. They have it in some countries. I think they have mandatory voting in Brazil. It's worked out great down there that place a lot of problems. But you just look at the news stories today with Stacy Abrams. Stacy Abram says she's open to being vice president for any Democrat nominee. So she's not going to seek the presidency herself, which is good because she wouldn't win, but she's willing to be

anyone's VP. Well, this is quite an offering because right now, the vote that a lot of these Democrat primary candidates are vying for the most is the African American Democrat primary voter. That's the one that is the that's the real game changer. And you have people like Mayor Pete, who does pretty well with white suburban Libs, no support among the Black community. I mean it's like less than

it's because say it's less than zero percent. I don't think that's really possible, but maybe he can't get any votes from the black community. Bernie Sanders has always struggled with the black community. Joe Biden, Joe Biden is being kept in the lead so far in most of the polls, in large part due to the very strong support that

he has in the black community. So Stacey Abrams, folks, she could be she could be making a deal with someone to be their VP, and then you'll be hearing more and more of this voter suppression story that is not based in facts, not based in reality, but it's a fairy tale that libs like to hear, and they love to hear it told by Stacey Abrams for at least four, if not eight years as a vice president. You are now entering the Freedom Hot Tindable Operation Center.

All the programs Musky Caps strigually need to know Team Buck is cleared front and ready for a Buck brief. Well, there's no question that China has made it clear that they are threatening to bring some kind of action against Hong Kong involving their police or their military, their paramilitary forces. We've reached a real impass here, and China has to weigh the impact the significant casualties that would they'd be

looking at. They're roughly estimated a million protesters, that's of seven million residents in Hong Kong, and then the impact on financial markets, and Hong Kong is really a gateway to China as well as a financial center in its own right. I think China would be reluctant to commit forces, but they're clearly preparing to do so if they feel

like it's necessary. The protesters are demanding things, I think China would not want to give up that Kerry Lamb resign, that the Hong Kong police be held accountable for their brutal tactics, that the extradition bill be permanently withdrawn, and that protesters receive amnesty. I think that China is probably going to let this subside because it would be just

too disruptive, and China doesn't like disruption. I know that's what's happening in Hong Kong, but it would be too much of an escalation of disruption to completely crush this thing using the tactics that we saw in nineteen eighty nine in tian on Men Square. But make no mistake about it, that is the concern right now, that we will see a replay of tian on Men bodies in the streets, people being riddled with bullets for peacefully protesting.

The Chinese understand the optics of the situation, which is why, of course you can't even see what's happening in Hong Kong and any part of mainland China right now, at least not officially. It's a bizarre our thing. I've told you when I was in Beijing a few months back, Beijing and then Shanghai, to be cut off from the Worldwide Web in a country where you're it's one thing if you're out in the jungle or the desert somewhere, and you know, it's just a lack of infrastructure around you.

There's no cell signal that you can understand when you're in the middle of When you're in the middle of Beijing, you have skyscrapers all around you. You have millions and millions and millions of people on the streets and in buildings and in these tremendous class structures everywhere. So why would you be unable to do a simple Google search and find out information the rest of the world can well? Because of the Great Firewall, as we know, because China

is a financially financially prosperous totalitarian state. North Korea is an impoverished totalitarian state. But China has very much the same mentality about information in control. It's harder to do on a billion person's scale than on about a twenty or thirty million person scale, which is what you're talking about in North Korea. I think it's about twenty five or thirty million. I hope that we don't see anything

really ugly happen here in Hong Kong. I think the Chinese government, the Communist Party is likely to just let this subside because there are so many other ways that they can establish influence, and eventually the Chinese will get their way because the one country, two systems deal expires in roughly twenty fifty I forget the exact year, but it's not a forever thing, and that means that at some point China is just going to say, okay, now

it's our way. You had, you had your fun, you had your time, Now it's our that's I think the Communist Party's plan. Where is the administration on this right now? I think that they're trying to figure out what the smartest move is because there's the human rights appeal. There's that emotional impulse that we all have when there are protesters who are waiving American flags in a foreign country, singing our national anthem in a foreign country, as we

played for you yesterday. We feel that human solidarity with them for freedom. But our government also exists first and foremost to take care of us first and foremost and our interests. I think the Trump administration is probably working behind the scenes to cool things down as much as they can with China and the protesters in Hong Kong. But China cares a whole lot more about this than we do and is willing to go much further in

their response and certainly anything we're considering. I would just note, though, that the Democrats who came before Trump, as much as they're right now, very smug, as they have all the answers. You know Trump, Oh, he's escalating the tariff war. Oh, it's terrible what he's doing. Okay, fine, he decides that the September tariffs won't go into effect on some consumer products, they'll push you back to December. Oh Trump's backing down, they say. I mean, it's just, you know, he can't

win whatever he does. They hate you know that, But don't ever forget that. The Democrats, especially under the eight years of Obama, showed themselves to be entirely unserious on matters of foreign policy. No vision, no strategy, no idea, what the heck is going on. Joe Biden back in May of twenty eleven had this to say on China. Play ten. There was a debate here in the United States, and quite frankly throughout most of the West, is whether arising China was in the interest of the United States

and the wider world. As a young member of the Foreign Relations Committee, I wrote, and I said, and I believe then what I believe now, that a rising China is a positive, positive development, not only for China but for America and the world. Written large, this was the standard line. This was a standard line for all the Obama years, This was a standard line for the Bush years before that. Let's just make China really, really rich.

Let's help them get really rich, even if they do it by stealing from us, and they do it on our backs, but you know, it'll be great for everybody. What could go wrong with a nuclear armed power of a billion people, where individual rights and freedom don't even exist, No one even's really thinking they will exist at any

point in the foreseeable future. What could go wrong with the country of a billion people with a very militaristic outlook into the future, wanting to expand its control, wanting to become the global hedgemon, and with because of its horrific one child policy. About a thirty million man surplus, meaning thirty million more men of marrying age than there are women for them to marry. So you got way too many, way too many guys. You have have a

need for natural resources. You have a narrative of a rising power that should be the global power and has some payback to do to countries in the region and around the world, including us for holding it back for all this time. And all you ever heard from the elites was all, this is great, this is fantastic. The wealthier China gets, the better it's going to be for us.

This was the overriding storyline. Yeah, you'd hear a little bit of stuff about human rights sometimes and no one really took that, no one really did anything about it. So don't think for a second that the Democrats it's so easy of them now to stand on the sidelines and act like they have answers on North Korea, on

China and anythings. They have no idea. They've already shown us that ultimately the problems that they have come from not believing that America is any better or more more worthy of its global leadership role than any other country. And to borrow from Obama, I mean we're exceptional the way the Green think they're exceptional on the you know, Italians think they're exceptional, etc. Etc. And I hope I'm right about China. We'll see. I think that this will

slowly de escalate. The Chinese understand they don't want to create martyrs on the streets of Hong Kong. But these protesters are not messing around either, and they may decide, you know what, they're just going to go for it. At that point, all bets are off. More coming up, Stay with me. Would you like to see gasoline powered vehicles gone within twelve years? Well, as much as it's technologically possible. I think we need to draw down our fossil fuels as much as as much as we possibly can't.

I don't think we should build another pipeline at all in the United States of America. It's a matter of our survival. I don't even think it's a matter of political opinion. It's scientific fact. She knows nothing about science. That's AOC. She doesn't know much about anything other than left wing talking points and whatever. We'll get the woke crowd fired up. But I did want to take a

moment to just point out how completely insane. This situation has gotten with the left and their climate change hysteria, but there's some very important threads of socialism through the Green New Deal. You'll notice I'm on a socialism kick these days, probably because I'm writing a book on socialism and diving very deep into the philosophy, the history, and all the rest of it. Because I think that this election in twenty twenty is a referendum in America on socialism.

That's what I think this Really. They're going to try to make it about Trump and racism, but all their policies, all of the actions they want to take, have a socialist twang, if not entirely socialist in intent. And that's where the Green New Deal comes in here, because there are some very very obvious correlations that you see between are obvious threads I should say that run through the

Green New Deal this climate change hysteria. Mentality one is that the Green New Deal involves a tremendous amount of central planning. This would be central planning on a massive scale, determining what energy usage should be, what different forms of energy are allowable, how much energy any one individual or entity or group could use. This is everything that we

do is dependent upon energy. So if you can control the flow of energy throughout homes, businesses, you control the economy, You control everything for all intents and purposes, you have total control. You also see the political imperative, and this is another important characteristic of socialism time and again, the political imperative overriding the economic reality. Here's the economic reality. Despite what AOC says about a green New Deal, it

is not based on cost efficient technology. It is not based on what would make for the greatest economic prosperity. It's based on, oh my gosh, we have to do this or we're all going to die, which is really the ultimate when you think about it, the ultimate political imperative. The first obligation of the state to all of us

is to keep us alive. Obviously doesn't always work that way, but that's the state is supposed to keep us alive first and foremost, to prevent us from being killed from you know, from invasion, somebody breaking into our home, whatever it may be. But the state's first obligation is to

our physical safety. And so when they can create a narrative of all of our physical safety is at risk, that is the greatest political imperative that they could ever come up with, and therefore it can override everything else. That's why the hysteria is not a by product, it's not a side effect when you're talking about client a change. The hysteria is necessary because if they don't establish this one overarching storyline of mass death and die off again,

the ultimate political imperative, it's going to stumble. It's going to run into all these different economic and financial realities. Like we don't even know if the green technologies that we want to institute could work at the scale we need them to. And no one even really has done an analysis on whether electric cars or long run based on electricity generated from our current means is going to be better for the planet. I mean, there's all these

different This is like my thing about recycling. I promise you recycling does not make the world a better place. Okay, so I know every gets mad at me. Recycling is a religious belief made real. It's the same reason why you have and that's where the religious component of this. I was talking about an overriding political imperative. But there when you get to existential questions, which is what they've done. This is what AOC and the others have done. They've

raised climate change catastrophism into an existential issue. Then it clearly passes into the realm of the religious. And how do you argue with the religious? How do you argue with a true believer? You can read a Hoffman's book True Believer, if you want to go through the psychology

of people that are true believers. They will not just feel completely justified in pushing for what they want, but also you're a heretic down you're you're a person that is opposed to the existential sal the salvation that they are promising us. I mean, there's a salvation narrative that's tied to green energy and the Green New Deal, climate

change alarmism, all of this. And I just can't take anyone seriously who wants to tell me that the science is with them on this, because there's so much about it that's obviously not scientific. I mean, here's a there's a young woman that was on Reuters and many other news feeds today, but she's on you know, Global global news feeds, and she's a sixteen year old climate change activis. Now she may be a fantastic science student, I have no it doesn't matter she's sixteen. There's a reason we

don't let sixteen year olds vote. There's a reason we don't let sixteen year olds do a whole bunch of things, and it's because they're young. They have no life wisdom to draw upon. And by the way, if you're sixteen year old listening to the show, you're smarter than most forty year old liberals. So congratulations, But we still shouldn't let you vote quite yet. And here we have somebody who, just based on age, you would ignore as an adult. You know, I'm thirty seven. I don't care what sixteen

year olds think about gun control. I don't care what sixteen year olds think about the tax right. And I'm right to not care unless it's my own family member or I'm engaging in a conversation with somebody in a friendly way. But I'm not going to be lectured by a sixteen year old on these issues. That's not ages, and that's just reality. Here you have Greta Thunberg, who is going around now. I think she's traveling. Yeah, she's taking part in a UN summit here traveling aboard a

zero emission yacht. Oh, I wonder what the emissions were to create the yacht, though, folks, they never do that analysis. And she's appearing in global media saying stuff like this play it. I mean, I am not telling anyone what to do or what not to do. I'm just doing this because I want to do this myself, and I am one of the very very few people in the world who actually can do this, and then I think

I should take that chance to do this. Bo It's going to be people who don't understand or don't accept the United science, and I mean I will just ignore them because I mean, I'm only acting and communicating all the science and if they don't like that, then I mean, what have I got to do with that? I mean, the media should be embarrassed to have a sixteen year old girl who became famous because she started demonstrating outside of Swedish Parliament instead of going to school. We're supposed

to listen to her. Why what does she know that you and I don't. Now, I don't blame this young girl. I'm sure she thinks. I'm sure she believes everything that she's doing. She's probably a lovely person and I hope she has a bright and wonderful future. I'm not criticizing the sixteen year old activist, although a little bit more self awareness would probably be a good thing. We'll put that aside. She's sixteen, but the media is treating her

like she's a voice of authority on this. The issue of climate change is an issue of global scientific and economic debate and impact. Trillions of dollars are at stake, and major meet the biggest media outlets in the world in BBC and Reuters and CNN, they put this sixteen year old girl on TV to tell us what to do based on the science. I don't mean to be mean, but I wonder what her SAT two biology score or chemistry score would be. Probably not very impressive. She's going

to tell the rest of us about climate change. Why they love to use the emotional impact of brainwashed youth on adults. If this, if this was really about science, folks AOC and this Greta Thunberg, this young girl and the rest of them wouldn't be the one standing in front of us giving the lectures and telling us all the rest of it. It would be actual scientists who can answer questions and give data that is peer reviewed and that is able to be reproduced by independent experiment.

This is the foundation of science. Science is not consensus. But as we know, this really isn't about whether it's AOC or the rest of Democrats or the rest of the global climate change community. It's not about science. It is about control and central planning and socialism. I felt that our entire election system was going to be compromised forever by this company that told the American public that it was not going to do any evil. This is the best thing that I can do in the situation

that I'm currently at. And the thing is is that the American public needs to understand what's happening. I'm going to publish this information so that other people can see the system that Google has built in order to control the entire information landscape. This is something that once people see, it's going to bring It doesn't matter whether you're left or whether you're right. When you see this, both sides

are going to agree that this is wrong. The single most powerful part of our entire information apparatus in this country is a Silicon valley Google, Facebook, Twitter, and similar companies of those are the Big three an Amazon. When you look at it in terms of its power, not just because it owns The Washington Post, but the amount of data that it is currently collecting by knowing what we want to buy all the time. Look, I'm an Amazon junkie. I order stuff I need toothpaste. I order

it on my Amazon app. I need little fuzzy slippers because who doesn't like fuzzy slippers? Order on my Amazon app. I mean, I've become a little bit addicted to the convenience of it, just like Google got us addicted to the convenience of search, and Facebook got us addicted to seeing all of our you know x's in college and afterwards and checking to see, you know, if they've upgraded or downgraded. I'm just kidding. That's not what you do

on Facebook. What you do on Facebook is you look and you know, get happy when you see your friends having babies and they're cute baby photos and puppy photos. Obviously, that's really what Facebook's all about, at least when you get to be in your thirties. In your twenties, Facebook is about x's and who's doing what, and who's gone on the nicest vacations and all that stuff. This is what the research says, folks. I'm not making this up.

But these are incredibly powerful companies. They're private companies, and unfortunately they've been able to recreate the information advantage that the left used to have in the media landscape, because over time we figured out that journalists and American journalism was a province of the left, that it was ideologically biased toward the Democratic Party, and this just became something that you could no longer ignore. We figured this out, but they still claim it's not the case. We know

it is the case. I mean, CNN and other places are a joke that won't admit this. But now what they've done and said, Okay, we're not going to tell you that this is being brought to you by We're going to create a neutral platform where you just whatever pops up in your feet is what the algorithm says should pop up, which it's all mechanized. It's all like computers.

There's no bias. Man, Well, of course there is. It's one of the reasons why I found it so just preposterous when you heard all this talk of Russia collusion and Trump and the Facebook ads, and the advantage that Democrats have built into the system right now via social media is something that would be difficult to quantify, but I think it's at least four or five percentage points in a national election, at least, because think about all the different ways that they can skew the system in

favor of Democrats, in favor of the left, and they're doing it. So you have this Google insider who has come forward, and here's the story on Project very Toss. A Google insider who anonymously leaked internal documents to Project very Toss made the decision to go public in an on the record interview, The insider, Zachary Voorhees, decided to go public after receiving a letter from Google and after he says, Google allegedly called the police to perform a

wellness check on him. Along with the interview, Voorhees asked Project very Toss to publish more of the internal Google documents he had previously leaked or He said, I gave

the documents to Project very Toss. I've been collecting them for over a year and the reason why I collected these documents was because I saw something dark and nefarious going on with the company, and I realized they were not only going to tamper with the elections, but used that tamper with the elections to essentially overthrow the United States I shortly after the report, including the algorithmic unfairness documents, were published, where He's received a letter from Google containing

several demands. He told Project very Toss that he complied with Google's demands, which included a request for any internal Google documents that he may have personally retained for He's also said he sent those documents to the Department of Justice Anti Trust Division. So and people are referring to him having a Google Snowden moment where he found a news blacklist site for Google. That's right, folks, they can make news sites. Think about this. Let's just bring this

down to level over. We all we all get exactly what's going on here. When you type in Trump into Google and do a new search, the first four or five things that pop up are what people are going to click on. Think of how many sources there are out there. Are you going to see a new source that says Trump's racism dividing the country again. Are you going to get a new source that says Trump's actually winning the trade war so far against China. Well, that's

completely up to the algorithm. That's completely up to people who are Google engineers and these companies. Everyone who has spent time in them who is not completely brainwashed will tell you they are a political monoculture. I mean, they're almost like a left wing totalitarian statelet operating in the San Francisco Bay area. That's what's happening. Does anyone really think that they are making a serious effort to be fair to all sides? That's ridiculous, of course not. Of course,

they don't care. They're trying to make sure they don't get caught. Here's what, by the way, voor He said after the police performed the wellness check on him Play three. Google doesn't just want to say to the court, yeah, we gave him access to this data. They want to make a criminal case out of it. And so what they've done with other employees is that they've made the argument that the person hacked into the networks. And so what I did is I put out a dead man switch.

So a dead man's switch is something that people that have information about a corporation or somebody else and they're concerned about their personal safety and possibly their life, they let that entity know that in the case that they get oft that the information will be released to the public. Why are the police outside your home in San Francisco? So Google decided to do a wellness check. They're trying to establish that I've got some sort of mental problem

in order to make their case easier. The next day, the police began looking for me in two different locations. They take this stuff very seriously, don't they. I mean Google. Forget the police for a second, folks, this is the sort of situation unearthing of documents from then a company like Google. If if we really can prove beyond any doubt that Google is biased in its search results, think about what the impact on that stock price could be. There's a lot of money and a lot of power

at stake here. These social media companies are provinces of the left, and the powers of the left will fight very hard to keep it that way. Deem, I have a confession to make, which I like to do on live radio across the country. I think that's the best way to share some of your deepest, darkest secrets. But don't worry, I'm gonna bring producer Mark into this two so I won't be the only one. I recently tried white Claw, which I have been hearing about from ladies

for quite some time. They keeps saying, Oh, this new White Claw drink is delicious, And I thought, oh, well, I can't be seen drinking a flavored spritzer in public, but perhaps at some point I'll decide that it's worth giving it a shot. And I did, and I'm gonna tell you something. It is suspiciously delicious. I bring it up because four Loco now has a hard seltzer with fourteen percent alcohol. Now I have to get first of all, producer Mark, have you ever had four Loco? I haven't

because I've heard horror stories. What explained to me what the what the four loco thing is all about? Because is this where you have the most caffeine? And right? Is that way? It's like caffeine and alcohol together. I believe so. In the original formula so many years ago, before I believe the FDA made them tone it down a little bit, was just ridiculous amounts of alcohol and caffeine and there were some bad things happening to people. But you are You're a White Claw guy, aren't you. Oh?

I love White Claw. It's fantastic, isn't it amazing? For summertime. But we should really, how do I get sponsored by white Claw? That would be fun. We got we gotta get that great or some kind of a white Claw rip off. If it doesn't happen, you know, we could we could get like, you know, I don't know, some other color purple c. Yeah, there's other brain figured there are Yeah. I remember also being a kid and when when people started drinking alcohol, when it was like such

a such a badass thing to do. Everyone got started with wine coolers, which I never see anymore. Really, but do you remember the like Bartles and James and these things? Do you know what I'm talking? It was? It was not quite Zema level because Zeema's classy. As we know, Zema's classy. Do you know do you ever have wine coolers? I've heard of them, but I've never had one. Yeah. No, it's uh, it's a lot a lot of sugar with very very little alcoholic or anywa White white Claw is

a thing now that people are getting excited about. So I just wanted to share that I have. I have had some, and the more of it that I have, the more of it that I that I tend to like. But it is late in the summer, So if you haven't gotten into it yet, I think that's probably going to be for the best. Do we have the uh Cardi B audio handy Bunny chance, this is what called the Ten. That's why no nailbuzz. This is son of

the Bernie Santas. I am with Cardi B. We're with the Ten Nail Bar in Detroit, Michigan, talking about some of the most important issues that impact you. Education, job's wages, Holly's fatality. No, we're in the nailbal Cardis snails and mina just a little bit different, but we hope you'll tune into Bernie and Cordie B getting the nails done in Detroit talking policy. Man, that's what's going on there, folks. Cardie B the rapper? Is that is you or a

hip hop artist? Is that the preferred Yeah, she's sitting down with Bernie Sanders. They're getting their nails done. Question, producer, Mark, have you ever gotten a man a cure? I have not. I haven't either, and I've had people try to convince me that this is something that guys should do, and I just don't understand. In fact, I've had arguments in

the past. I shouldn't say arguments, but but I've had very h questioning discussions with women in my life who have thought that they needed to get their nails done religiously every week or two or whatever it is. And if they don't get them done, they think that they don't look workplace ready. I don't understand that. I don't understand that no one. I mean, if your nails are clean and look normal, that's fine. I don't understand why people think they have to get their cuticles done all

the time, male or female. Do we have an answer? I mean, it's a constant fight I have with my significant other. Why are you see money? See? I don't. I don't get it, folks, no one see. No one even notices your fingers. No one even notices. But you know it's a dude, it's a fight I've had with with ex girlfriends. I'm just gonna say it. No, I can't. I can't go to that super fun thing you're planning for us because I have a nail appointment. I'm like, really,

a nail appointment. Apparently it's a thing. But Bernie and Cardi b getting their nails done together because pop culture is trying to get Bernie elected more coming up. Hey, team Buck, it's time for roll call. I can't believe how fast the summer's gone by. I'm sure a lot of you have that same feeling. Maybe I have that feeling every summer. But man, we are already in the middle of August. Feels like just yesterday I was talking to you about things that were happening Memorial Day, weekend,

or you know, leading up to it. So here we are. Time flies, more little gray hairs in my little gray in beard. But such as life, Facebook dot com, slash Buck Sexton. If you want to be in on the roll call action, it's quite easy to do. Facebook dot com, slash Buck Sexton, Owen Rights, Buck, You're on Google play Music. It's how I listen. However, sometimes there's a glitch which prevents recent shows from being at it. Well, Owen, hopefully

we can fix the glitch. I don't know if we'll get there or not, but we will try, so thank you for the heads up. I do appreciate it. Kisuki Rights, something I thought about after listening to your show last night and after reading in Morning News thanks for a great show. I listened to the podcast and the attachment is unavailable. Well, I don't know what you're talking about there, but I appreciate it. Thanks for writing in taft hot take on Afghanistan. I agree, get everyone out of there.

If that is going to be the course of action, pull out and never go back. I don't have any desire to take a trip over there for any reason. Let us focus elsewhere. Yeah's have to I just for people that say, oh, but if we leave, bad things are going to happen, then I have to always say to them, well, is it ever going to get better? Is there a realistic possibility that this situation is going to improve? I have to say the answer is most decidedly no. Sean Ryan's hey, buck on, Bill Maher, you

crushed it. You're amazing. We love you. Sean. Well, Sean, You're amazing and we love you too. Man. Thank you. I think I did as well as one could under the circumstances of the Bill Mahr Show. Remember you're only one of four people, so you have limited talk time. When they bring in the additional panel guest, who was Mary Anne Williamson, I want you to take your spirit and darling lockhounds with that spirit and come up with a way to achieve your dreams. I think my Williamson

is coming along. My bedo is a little more because it's really just Keanu Reeves. If Keanu Reeves were very annoying, then you have betto Rourke. So it's pretty easy. Like, yeah, I enjoyed doing the Bill Mars Show. Hopefully I'll get a chance to go back. Maybe next time I'll have a little more ability to get fiery. Here we go, James Buck in a Bally uniform dancing in front of the White House. If your last days in a swamp for giggles shields Hie from w g Y, New York.

All right, James, I don't know if you meant Bally or ballet, but I guess is there about Bally uniform? Is that a thing? I was unaware of that, John Hey Buck. I was listening to Rush on my way home from work today and he took credit for the guy who accosted Chris Cuomo. It seems that Rush has been referring to bro Cuomo as Fredo for a while now and thinks this guy was a listener who genuinely thought his name was Fredo. That could be possible. I don't know, I mean we obviously even call him bro

Cuomo for a long time. I don't know about whether this guy really believed his name was Fredo. I think from watching the video, if I had really made a mistake with someone's name, I'd be able to convince them that that's what I thought. I don't think it's well, I don't know. You know, it depends on the circumstances. I think it's unlikely, though. I will say, Christine, right Buck, I think Trump should hire you for his cabinet to stop this soft coup. Christine, that's very sweet of you.

The only issue I have is I love my job so much that the only job that I'd want to take a break from this job to do in the administration would be so senior and so high up the food chain that people would laugh if I told them. I mean, we're talking cabinet stuff, folks, and they could laugh. But I could also laugh at anything that is below that, because I wouldn't. I wouldn't do it. I'm very happy

with where I am. Kevin Rights, Hey Buck, Jesse Kelley, and Sean Parnell on the Vietnam War, The Vietnam vets I've encountered and talked to. Almost all said that they'd go back in an instant. The war was basically won by nineteen seventy three, but political instability in America emboldened the North to plan and offensive in nineteen seventy four and attacked in nineteen seventy five. America withdrew and left our allies without support, and my parents' country crumbled in moments.

Sean is one hundred percent correct. We should leave, but it matters tremendously how we leave. We came in and wrecked thing, so we have some responsibility for how we leave. I don't know if Afghanistan and the Afghan National Army can hold up even with support. But however we leave, we cannot just pull up the stakes and leave them dry well. Kevin, I think that Khalilzad, who is the negotiator for the Trump administration on this, I think that he believes that there is a way to do this.

I don't know if he's right. I'd like to think that he's right because a lot is riding on that, but we will have to see. The Taliban certainly are in a strong position here, and you have to think from their perspective, they've been fighting this war all this time to get the US to leave. Once we do leave, what is really going to stop them from having their

way on the ground in Afghanistan. I think the only thing that we can be somewhat I wouldn't say assured of, but that's a little bit less likely, is that they would allow their country to be used as a platform for international terrorism, because I mean, look, I can just

speak from my own perspective. If we leave Afghanistan behind, we have an agreement with the Taliban, and then you had al Qaeda setup bases there and launching attacks against us once again, and something on the scale of nine to eleven, we would go back and just we would lay we would lay waste to the country in a way that is not even really worth talking about right

now because it would be so horrifying. But I think that that's where the American public would be, that would be that the feeling, you know, ultimately, we're trying to be a country that is that is decent and honorable to our fellow human beings all over the world. But if we get taken advantage of, or if that decency becomes twisted as a weapon against us, I do not think anybody should underestimate the ferocity of the American people

when provoked. Joshua Rights, don't watch Bone Tomahawk. You will lose a piece of your soul. Try this instead. It's a bunch of covers, all right, Joshua Man, that must be, really, that must be. I don't think I can watch it now. I've had too many people tell me that this movie has really traumatized them, So I think I think I'm gonna have to skip it. I think I'm gonna have to avoid it. Let's see, Dennis right. I know you get thousands of messages a day, But regarding Epstein, I say,

witness protection. I don't know really what you're going for with that. Are you saying that Epstein should have been placed in witness protection because he wasn't a witness, He was a suspect. He was somebody who was accused of the very serious crimes, and he's the top of the criminal food chain here. He's at the very peak of this conspiracy. So I don't know really what you're going for,

but I do appreciate you writing in let's see Eric Rights. Oh, hold on a second, Thomas Right, Sorry, keep doing that. Good discussion with your guests today on the topic of China versus Hong Kong. The current conversation, a conversion of China's currency, the sure applied by the US, and the tensions in Hong Kong are all leading the collapse of China's economy. It will be proof of the lie too big to fail. Hong Kong and Shanghai are the two

export centers from China. Beijing will destroy Hong Kong, and before it allows that colony to become independent, Beijing will lose total control of the Chinese economy. Of Hong Kong succeeds in retaining autonomy, it will create a cascade of uprisings throughout China and in the process collapse their economy. It may not happen tomorrow the next day, but it will come soon. Marketers in Hong Kong are already trading the Chinese currency on the world market. That hasn't happened

in a decade. Keep a close eye on basic resources and imports to China. When ports start to close, staging for a border invasion will be imminent in Hong Kong. He should talk to Art Laugher. He's a lot of experience the Chinese are in a Shields High whoa Thomas going deep in the China analysis there. Thank you very very much. I do appreciate I do appreciate that. Let's see writes the movie Audis Shawn. It's Japanese. Rob Zombie even said it freaked him out. It is really disturbing. Man.

You guys are into some freaky films. Man, I haven't heard of any of this stuff before. Ryan. Here we go. Hey Buck, I'm probably not the most veteran listener, but I've been following and watching you grow since your Saturday show. I'm probably ninety nine point nine nine percent in agreement with you, but that's okay. I think you have this down. I and probably many others would like to get more perspective into Buck's world and would like to revisit a request we made a while back to be on the

Joe Rogan Show. He is left of center, but appears to be very objective and will not try to destroy you with his beliefs, even takes a lot of abuse from a leftist for doing so. He provides a long form interview and allows his guests to get their perspective and points across. If you're on the fence about it and give it the interview a try. Joe kind of pushed into something but allowed. Okay, Yeah, anyway, shields Hie continue finding any good five brother well Ryan, It's a

fantastic idea. The only issue is the slots for Joe Rogan show are very limited, and I'm not sure even actually, I'm pretty sure he has zero idea who I am, so we'd have to get the Buckster on his radar. I don't know how we do that other than me just continue to do what I do and grow this show and we'll see if it leads to an invitation. But no, Look, if there's one show right now in the country that I could invite myself onto, it would

be the Joe Rogan podcast. If I could just say I want an invite onto one show in America right now. I talked to Joe about everything that matters under the sun. I mean, I think the immigration discussion that I could have with Joe Rogan, for example, would be really eye opening to people because I've become very well versed in that subject over the last couple of years, deep diving on my own and going down to the border and doing field research. So that would be one aspect of it.

I think that the trajectory of US national security interests abroad would be really interesting. The deep state, what's true of the federal bureaucracy, and what the realities of intelligence going forward will be for different governments, including our own. So there's a lot of ground m plus obviously that Democrats being socialists now and how we need to understand that's what's happening. So I don't know, Maybe somebody who knows Joe will hear that pitch and get it to him.

But in the meantime, I gotta go roll and get ready for some Fox Business team, So I'll talk to you tomorrow. Shields High
