The Freedom hunt, Former CI director Brennan gets his security clearance swiped by Trump. We'll talk about that. Plus also Cuomo says he wants to throw his hat in the ring.

Maybe maybe you know that Donald was ready for him. And also why is it that socialists don't math good? We'll get into that more coming up. This is the Buck Sexton Show, where the mission or mission is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake American ring, You're a great American Again. The Buck Sexton

Show begins analysts. As the head of the Executive and and Commander in Chief, I have a unique constitutional responsibility to protect the nation's classified information, including by controlling access to it today and fulfilling that responsibility, I've decided to revoke the security clearance of John Brennan, former director of

the Central Intelligence Agency. Historically, former heads of intelligence and law enforcement agencies have been allowed to retain access to classified information after their government service so that they can consult with their successors regarding matters about which they may have special insights, and as a professional courtesy. Neither of these justifications supports Mr Brennan's continued access to classified information. Welcome to the Buck Saxton Show. You know he did it.

Trump did it. He said he was gonna do it. He said in fact that this was gonna happen. And uh, and now there's some other folks that he may just decide to uh pull some clearances from. You know, I've got I've got so much on this. And here here's a nice advantage. By the way, I'm coming to you live from New York City today instead of from the swamp in DC. Nice to be up here in the Big Apple, my hometown. I would just want to get

this out there. I'm one of the rare hosts on radio who has had a clearance, had a security clearance, had a t S clearance in fact top secret, and knows a bit about this. So I can speak with some degree of background, which is which is good, which is fun. But also I know something that until you've been working around these people you can't know, and that is that they all think they're much more you know,

these heads of these different agencies. You know, once they're out of government, they all think they're much more indispensable than they are. That there's something there's some mystique around them, right, and and that I think was in part from especially on the intelligence side. You know, the whole situation of you know that Jason Bourne, James Bond World, James Bond is still a cooler superspy. All the best superspive all time is still British. Unfortunately, people would say Ethan Ethan

Hunter or not Ethan Hunt. That's the actor Ethan what's his name from Mission Impossible? You know? Is it? Is it Ethan Hunt? Yeah? I was the Ethan Hawk, Ethan Hunt. You know, it's all the same. Hawk is the actor. Uh, James Bond is still the best spy of all time. But when you get to know some of these spy agency heads, these director you realize that they're not that impressive.

Some of them are, some of them really aren't, and that it's a very bureaucratic job, and that a lot of people who have had the job kind of stunk at it, and we don't have some great need of them to just be able to show up and and do whatever they want. And and here's the big divine because I'm getting heat from this already. I already have said, you know, and I went on Tucker Show a few weeks ago. I was like, this is there's no reason these guys to have these clearances and people the old bugged.

There have to one there's a government program. But only if there's a government program that only the former director knows about. We got a big problem, folks. You got

congressional oversight that has to know about these things. You've got the different there's a whole big tree, a bureaucratic tree below the whether it's the head of the d J or the CIA or the d i A or any of these different acronym agencies, it's a whole bunch of people that have much greater institutional knowledge on this stuff than than the director generally will a lot of

directors come and go. There are people that, you know, you want to talk about the the Defense Department of the c I A look at Leon Panetta, perfect example, right, former director. Yeah, he was in the agency for a few years. I forget how many off the top of my head. I was actually at the agency when when Panetta was there. But there are people that are there for decades, people that are way longer. And so this whole thing of oh my gosh, you know without him,

we want it's just this is just nonsense. And there's by the way, there's a lot of and now you know, people don't want to hear this stuff. But there's a lot of kind of influence selling, and you know, I'm gonna be a consultant, but I still have a little bit of access. No, no, no, no, you're out. You're out. You're no longer in government service. We're doing work for the government, because there's some people. If you work for you know, Lockheed or something, you've got to have a

clearance if working on sensitive government projects. But if you're not involved in government stuff, you shouldn't have an active clearance. So then that's let's establish that general principle right now, because you're gonna see a lot of amar gosh, it's the dark Knight of fascism. Now, no false, do not believe these people. They don't know anything or they're just

blinded by their hatred of Trump. I'm not even gonna say partisanship, blinded by partisans I'm a partisan, openly, proudly, honestly, i am a partisan. I tell you this. You know where I come from. And this is the way information gathering and analyzing and sharing should be done going forward. People should be honest about who they are, what they believe, not pretend I'm just no troll. Later on, we'll have a neutral story. Brian Williams. We've done some Google searchers

for Trump's dogs, not a lot of dog photos. Folks don't know what to say about that, sou But I'm here to tell you that anybody who's claiming that this is some terrible calamity and that this is oh here we go, we got we got Senator Bloomenthal on CNN saying we're voking Brennan's clearance is illegal. Now, Bloomenthal is an idiot, and I don't say that lightly, but he says stupid stuff all the time on TV. I mean, he just just says stuff that's just it's just not true.

He's kind of up there, it's sort of nerdy, and you know that it's just there's nothing from this guy that you should believe on this issue at all. By the way, he's sitting across the table right now on Wolf Blitzer Show from Jim Shuto, who is a quote journalist who used to work for the Obama administration. So

I think that's always an interesting thing. Right, you can do that and you're just considered a journalist, But I think of a conservative, do you think that anybody who's worked for Trump is going to be able to just go out in the media and be a quote objective journalist. And you see the the hypocrisy one, it's just the hypocrisy slapping us all in the face of the time. But now with Trump we get to paunch back buck slab.

Isn't that fun? So that's on the basics of the whole clearance process for former Look, I don't still maintain my clearance, and that's a darn good thing, because it would be inappropriate for me to be access and classified, even if I'm trying to be very clear about access and classified on a regular basis or on a fresh new basis, and then going on there and being like, well this is what I think is gonna happen, you know tomorrow in this place. Right, that's not cool. You

can't do that. Why should it be different for the former directors that you heard that as a courtesy? Heck? Is that? Well what do you mean as a courtesy? Why should they be able to go on air and trash the president and maintain their access to classified information in this way? You know? What is what is that all about? And this is where you get another level of distinction. You know, it used to be that the Intel agency heads were thought of as being kind of

above of the partisan fray. They were thought of as people who were just they were professionals doing a job. And in that, you know, with that reality, I could see I could understand some of the procedurals and some of the things that they've been doing in the past with maintaining access and and keeping clearances active for people. I get I get it, and I can kind of understand that. But you see what the cabal of Clapper, Brennan, Comi or struck Yates. I'm doing this off top of

my head. I'm I'm missing a bunch of you know, a couple of high level left BI guys that resigned.

Some d O J lawyers are out of there. You know, when you look at that whole never mind the straight up political appointee folks that were brought in by the Obama administration like Susan Rice and Samantha Powers, but when you look at the national security officials, specifically national security officials that have shown themselves to be part of hashtag resistance, they are working to actively undermine the current commander in chief,

and they're using both there recently vacated offices and their continued access to give them additional ammunition against the administration. That's what they're doing. That's why when Brennan goes on TV and says, oh, you know I have you know, I have reasonablieve that you know they have something on Trump, folks. When the when the most recently departed CIA director is going on TV and saying the current president might be

an asset of the Russian government, that's crazy. That's you want to talk about undermining institutions for what it undermines the presidency, it also undermines the CIA, my former home agency, because how can you trust that the person running this is not going to use their access and the credibility that comes along with that to be partisans later on. I mean, you're you're seeing this now with a whole bunch of differ and people with very senior level access.

And this is what's so important to remember, because they're gonna make all this noise about Brennan's clearance, which also is in no way some national security emergency, some big First Amendment issue. It is unprecedented to have as many senior national security officials for the previous administration immediately turned into the not just the harshest critics of the current administration, but to be involved in ongoing criminal investigation of that

administration that they pushed for. And now they're on TV. Brennan created the Russia collusion narrative, then left the CIA before he could be thrown out of the CIA, which I think would have happened if he had stayed and we figured out some stuff, but left, and then goes on TV and says outrageous, Okay, Hayden, I worked for Hayden. I don't know what's happened to that guy. Mike Hayden

has lost his mind. But they go out now on TV and they use the additional credibility they have for former CIA director, of former n s A director, or former you know whatever to hammer the president. And yes, they have a constitutionally protected right to say those things about the president. I'm not challenging them on that, But they do not have a constitutionally protected right to maintain

a security clearance while they do it. And they also do not have a right to be free from criticism from the very president that they are not just trying to undermine with their arguments, but that they are working to see drummed out of office and maybe even put in prison. The damage that they have done it and and this is so important for you all to hear

because you're not hearing it from anyone else. The damage that is being done to our national security institutions, the FBI, the Department of Justice, the law enforcement arm of the federal government, and to the intelligence community, which is vast. It's way too big, by the way, and as you've seen with the fies A warrants and Carter Page tremendous power. But the damage that's being done to those institutions will last long after Trump leaves office in six years. It's

going to continue on because this is unprecedented. All these people right now who are saying what Brennan and Clapper and Hayden and others are doing is okay, would have lost their minds if the Bush administrations national security officials had all gathered together created a narrative not just of Obama's unfitness for office, but that they were trying to

subvert Obama. And we know, folks, there have been leaks, including illegal leaks, from senior folks in the national security bureaucracy to the major newspapers and then the anti Trump news outlets like CNN, and it's this is stuff that came from high level. Somebody spilled Flynn's phone call to the press. Somebody was using their access to submarine to

deep six this White House and every way that they could. Okay, so Trump is trying to clear this out, and he's when when you have a mole, when you have somebody who was using their access for the bad guys, sometimes you gotta pull. You gotta pull access for a whole bunch of people. So I think this is this is it's both completely sensible and also not really that big a deal. They're going to tell you that this is a a huge problem, and this is Oh, they're claiming

that Trump is politicizing you know, intelligence and intelligence access. Meanwhile, they're holding up people that sworn oath to uphold and defend the Constitution, and we're appointees of a previous administration and they are working to subvert the current president of the United States without evidence and without even a shred of professionalism. They have they have become ranked partisans, and it's an embarrassment. I speak to people still in the

community not you know, I'm not you know. So when most journalists do folks as they talked to a couple of all the very top at whether it's you know, the c I A or if it's you know, the d O J. They have a couple of people the very top that they know can talk and probably won't get in trouble, and they think that that's though, that gives them a sense of the rank and file. I talk to people still in the community. They are embarrassed

by what is going on. The rank and file that I speak to are embarrassed by what the former CI director, the former FBI director, uh, they've been doing with this administration. And it's not about politics for them. It's about the professionalism of those institutions being just just thrown into a bonfire. Here. It's crazy what is going on. So I know there's all this, you know, there's all these claims where this is an abuse of power. Guess what, it's within the

president's power. He can do it, he has done it, and maybe it's time we just start telling the Democrats, you know what, deal with it. Eight four four eight to five eight four buck. We have oh so much more to get to some stuff from the elections, the primary election stuff that's come in. Well, maybe a bit more of an update on Turkey, which you know we've been following closely here in the Freedom Hunt eight four four buck. We will be right back. Did you know

who commissioned the Steel dossier? I don't. Did the CEE? I rely on it? No? Why not? Because we we didn't. It wasn't part of the corpus of intelligence. Uh information that we had. It was not in any way used as a basis for the Intel's Community assessment that was done. You see, that intelligence community assessment was about Russian meddling.

Who who created a connection between the Facebook accounts and what was a pathetically small scale attempt by the financial numbers involved, by the different but by by any objective metric of how media works, how social media works in the current environment. But who created this of them that it was somehow tied to Trump. Somebody must have been pushing that story and pushing it at a very senior

level of government. Now you can believe that the FBI just came up with this on their own, that somehow Papadopolis got on the radar of the FBI, As they said, which I don't believe by the way that carter Page, they decided to turn on carter Page. Carter Page had worked with the FBI, had had sat down with the FBI, has by the way, never been even never been accused of a crime, even whispered what the crime was that Carter Page could have committed, never been, never mind being indicted.

He has and I've spoken to about this. He said that he is a patriot. He says that he disagrees with some U. S. Foreign policy in terms of what's going on with Russia. But I mean, look, you know, I the Obama administration, look what they did with Iran. I don't think their traitors. I just think they weren't very smart, right, I Mean, there's a difference. But I'm not running around claiming that the Mullah's had in giving bags of cash to Ben Rhodes or something like that.

But that's basically what they say about about people around in Trump's orbit. It's not even just those nationals, curty ficials. Got pre Berrara, the former U. S. Attorney for for the Southern District here in New York, and all these government officials that have come out and they're not opposing Trump policies. They're trying to take down the man himself.

This is unheard of, and you know, Brennan and some of these other figures, they are desperate to make sure that they can muddy the waters and stop the Republican majority House of Representatives from from these investigations into just how how did all this get going? How do we get so far down this pathwy? This is crazy? This a little collusion thing going on for two years here. It's just all a big bunch of nothing. Think of all the time on all the investigation and the air

waves with all the different news channels. It's the biggest waste of time in my lifetime. Uh In, I'd rather than start telling me that they're going to just cover then the missing plane NonStop again. At least there's the there's a possibility you'll find out something interesting there. With this, There's no possibility. This It is all a Russia collusion delusion, and I am I've run out of patients with it.

I wish we could just stop this whole thing. I like that Juliani is telling uh Mueller that he better finish this thing up or else, you know, he's gonna get turned up even more because Mueller's engaged in a political exercise, whether he will admit that or not. And and Brennan and these other political actors, they need it. There needs to be a reckoning here with what they're really doing and what their motivations not just are now, but we're back when they were in government's dirty folks.

There is a cabal. There is a deep state, all right, and they were spying on Trump. So let's figure out just how much he's holding the line for America. Buck Sexton is back. I was called by a friend of the Associate Um when Sarahoop Sanders was giving that statement, so I had no knowledge of it beforehand. No one contacted me, nobody reached out to me over the past several weeks when this issue was first had first surfaced.

So the first I heard about it was when I was able to turn on the television and listen to miss Sanders um and I have not heard heard anything from any govern official since then. You know, like I said, although the president is allowed to do this, I don't know anybody who's been able to make an argument yet that the president controls access to classified information that this is within the executive branch folks. I think that part of this is that they just don't really believe that

Trump is the president. I mean, that was Brennan there, the formercy I director, saying that he found out about this from the White House press briefing today. Trump had said he was gonna do this for a while. I will say I was wrong. The one thing I did big Trump is going to do it. So I'll be totally honest with you about that. I didn't think it was really going to happen. But I also said along it wasn't really that, it wasn't really that big of

a deal. And here's the guy who's running around now, who's the former CI director who's running around on TV the kind of stuff that he says about the current commander in chief. I think Donald Trump has badly sullied the reputation of the office of the presidency with his invective, with his constant um disregard I think for human decency, as well as his befriending of autocratic leaders around the world and his continued pursuit of relationships to benefit himself

as opposed to country. I do think that America standing in the world has also been tarnished. But I think even more fundamentally, what he is doing here in the United States is very polarizing, and he is I think the most divisive president we've ever had in the Oval office. Why do you think they put Brennan on TV so much? Folks, Let's really be honest about this from him. Why do you think John Brennan's on TV? He doesn't say anything

particularly interesting and eloquent. He goes way overboard with a lot of his analysis. So why does he get so much airtime? Could it be because two people who are Trump anti Trump deranged that to have a former CIA director and the most recent There is a difference here. By the way, if even the CI director ten years ago, I'd be like, all right, you know, the guy moved on with this love. He just left the agency. He's on TV. He's saying that Trumper friends autocrats. He's saying

all these terrible things with the president United States. The only reason that he gets the airtime he does is because of the gravitas that he has as the most recent CI director, So so he is trading on that and also the continued access that he has because there's this assumption in the mind of viewers. Well, he must really know the truth about Trump because he was a CI director. Otherwise what he says is it's like third tier huffing and post comments section stuff. It doesn't matter

who cares. The reason they like him so much, the reason he's such a useful uh antagonist to the President the United States right now is because he was Obama CIA director and because he maintains classified access, and so when he goes on TV and says all these terrible things, it's, oh, well, the CIA director thinks us about Trump, it must be true. That's very damaging. It is very damaging. I mean a lot of us know, and you know this is true

to anyone who says, oh, balk, this is terrible. The partnersanship Hayden is tweeting out photos of constant of Nazi concentration camps and saying that's what that's what Trump is doing at the border. That's right. The former CIA director did that and didn't back down from it. By the way, it's like, yeah, that's right. That that seems about fair. That seems about right. So let's not pretend that their side has not completely lost their minds over this already.

Uh We've got a lot of calls, so I want to take a couple of them here. Um Bill in Oregon. Hey Bill, how's it going. I'm good, sir, Thank you for your call. Yeah, I just wanted to make a fine about something. You know, they're all started with Johnson, if you remember, I don't. I was born in one, Okay, the fall of the black community started with Johnson. Are you talking about like the great like great Society programs and the welfare state and the destruction of minority communities?

Is that what we're trying to get out of here? I got recruited for Arab air America. I didn't know what I was getting into. I don't know what I'm getting into right now. What are you talking about? Well, we were I was there was we had two aircraft. We had two DC seven I mean yeah, d C eight, I should say, and we were flying gam You never left, Sam never left, you know, territory of the United States that we had never had to go to a custom.

But we're bringing stuff back in San Francisco, Chicago, and Florida bringing what's stuff back? How about China? White? That's quite a Mike, Where do we This is quite well Um, okay, So you're saying you were bringing drugs in the United States under the orders of the government. I mean, I've heard this conspiracy before from people. Do you have any Why am I hearing about this now from you? Bill?

I'm just tired of we finally got a president but standing up, and I think everything needs to fall out. I think all the laundry needs to be washed. Alright, alright, fair enough, thank you? All the water? Who's washed? And producer Mike's gonna get a code read for that phone call? Uh Bill? Also Bill in Florida, we're tired law enforcement officer. Hey Bill, Yes, how you doing? And I think you've got something that cannot be taught in college, and that's

called common sense. Thank you? Now, Yes, sir, I'm born with that myself, and that's the only way you get it. I do about like Hillary now that she still have a security clearance. Um, that is a good question. She was the Secretary of State. My guests would be if she wanted access, they probably still give it to her. You know, I don't we think somebody would observe that, you know, being a former secretary of say, these people

when they get these situations and they're not on duty. Okay, sublience, they're sublient citizens. They don't have to write to that. Even when I call in if I'm going to go on duty and I'm retired, but once in a while and the emergency type thing or something on law enforcement, I have to call in and use the code and then they tell me, okay, well you need your help, but we don't. Why don't they do that because I'm just you know, a classic by now is a retired

law enforcement civilian citizen. That's all I am. You know, there ought to be some sort of reformat for this. If the president decides he wants to knock this guy off the security, he should have all the right in the world to do it. He doesn't. It's what's amazing, Bill, is he does No one's really at least knowing that I'm listening to her paying attention to is saying that he does not have the ability to do this right.

It's so people who are saying, oh my gosh, they just don't like that he has exercise authority that he has, which this is a constant problem with Trump. Trump does things that the other side doesn't like, and then they act like there's something you know, inherently wrong with the act when really they just don't like the decision, right, It's not that he doesn't have the authority to do it, they just don't like he chose to use that authority.

Who is the rank person which was a female and a nonstand factor that he's losing is you know where is she? I don't know exactly who that was, but she's the one that announced it, trumped it. Oh ye, that's right, yeah, Sarah Huckaby Sanders announced it. Bill. Thank you for calling in from Florida. Do appreciate it? Uh? Wade in Mississippi? Hey Wade, how's it going today, sir? I'm good, sir, Thank you for your call. She was

h I want to do all right? Oh wow, my my tweet is currently on Brett Bear Show on the screen. That was kind of fun. That's just that's a weird thing to happen when you're doing radio, Like, oh my gosh, that's me. Go ahead, sir, all right. I just wanted to hill right you. I don't think it's no surprise that that Trump pulls a clearance because he tweeted out a week ago or so that he was gonna pull a lot of clearances. Yeah, he was looking at pulling

a lot. I believe that's gonna happen. I really do. Trump seems to be a man of his words so far. That is true. By the way, Wait, I think you're making a good point, which is I should I shouldn't have doubted the Trumpster on this one. He said he was gonna do it. You did it. You can't do it. He came doubt at moment, not not when when he lies, will call him out on it. You know. Of course, the other media believes that he's lying four thousand and

sometimes since he's been at office. I think this, Yeah, if you believe what they're saying, Uh, you know, everything he says a lie. I mean nothing, There's nothing he says that is not a lie. That's pretty much what they That's the opinion. They seem to be. Uh, they seem to be. But what do you think about this way? Is this? Uh? Is this a justified move? Definitely justified moved. I think it's uh. Uh should have been done seven eight months ago, probably to all of them, all of

the and Trumpers. Anyway, you saw her strokes. Oh no, our texts were just they what that was not What it meant is you've got security clearance and you should keep your mouth set. Yeah. I mean, look, active duty, active duty military all know that. You know that right there there are limitations on you. You can't be active duty military and you know, doing videos in your military uniform be like, yeah, I hate the commander in chief and I won't obey his order. Right. You don't get

to say, oh, that's free speech. Why should you have access to classified information as a non political you know, as somebody who's no longer in that role, and and be able to go out there and constantly trash the president. I mean, the president should be able to say, if you're gonna do this, I'm not gonna you know, you're not gonna continue to have access. Awesome, That's that's true. I got one more quick question for you. Yes, sir,

you mentioned free speech. What what what are your ideas and feelings on the free speech war that's going on right now against our our first Amendment. Oh that's a very that's a very very important question. In fact, you know, wait, I'm gonna use that to transition to our next segment, Shields High from down Mississippi. Thank you for calling in um. I think anyone who believes that they're just gonna leave

it at Alex Jones is kidding themselves. Anybody who uh, anybody who believes that they're going to the left and the social media platforms and all these d platforming efforts and conversational health and all this Orwellian mind control, thought control, word control crap that they're trying now is going to stop at just the you know, the most outrageous or the most egregious. They are kidding themselves. Let me let

me get into that's an excellent question from Wade. Let me get into this little bit more on the other side of this, breaks they were. It's very important that you all know that what the left seeks is not

a level playing field for ideas and debate. They seek the powers of unfettered censorship, and they seek information dominance in the political space and the cultural space all across the board, not based on what you want, not based on individual choice, not based on even what the group cares to read or share, but what they determine you should see and those around you should see and be subjected to and be around. They are doing everything they can now and I have seen this coming for a

long time. I've told you about this for a long time, to restore what they had for most of the post World War two century, which was the ability to control the narrative by controlling the dissemination of information itself. You control where and how information goes around places. Then you, in fact can control what people think to some degree. Your propaganda is that much more effective the social media platforms.

It's not just for people, you know, checking up on their high school sweetheart now that she's all grown up and has five kids of her own, And it's not just for you know, instant messaging back and forth. In the office, we're being told by people that a small Russian Facebook by and some Facebook trolls from Russia were If you believe the leftist narrative able to influence a presidential election, think about what the actual platform controllers can

do at Twitter and Facebook and Google. Think about the power that they have two in much more subtle ways, influence what all of us see and how we think, and how we think about those topics that are top of mind. Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey has been asked about Alex Jones. He gave an interview to Lester Holt on NBC News. He said, quote, we can't build a service that is subjective just to the whims of what we

personally believe. You know, Dorsey realizes at the moment, Twitter becomes part of the lie of the mainstream media, right, the moment Twitter becomes like NPR. What is MPR, folks, It's just the news for people who tell the news like this, who have this neutral tone of voice, and then therefore must also have a neutral point of view. That's not true, though, right. NPR is very liberal, as

you know. Uh, and they pretend that there should be public funding for some of these liberal platforms by continuing on with this ridiculous idea that oh no, it's not really it's not really pushing a point of view, it's just providing a public service. What you will see continue to happen with the major social media platforms and Silicon Valley. Remember Silicon Valley is really an extension of San Francisco. San Francisco is the single most liberal city in the

United States. Number two is DC the swamp I've told you, but San Francisco is number one. The politics of the Bay Area are left of Bernie Sanders Okay, you don't think that that's going to influence how they set their terms of service, how they please it. How many instances can of this? Can we see where people are going to be banned or people are going to be eliminated who are conservative, only to have all of us say, hold on a second. That person they got and I

just saw what was it? Earlier this week they banned Gavin McInnis. I used to do Red Eye at Fox News with Gavin McGinnis, would be a pretty regular guest. He's banned from Twitter now, um, and you know it's they They started this with that guy Milo a long time ago, and he got banned permanently from Twitter, And if I recall correctly, he was banned not for what he did or said, but for what some of his

supporters were involved in in writing on Twitter. But if these are not open platforms, they increasingly for political debate and discussion and become effectively worthless. If there are going to be rules of the road determined four us by the overseers of these platforms, then they ceased to have the value that they've had in the past as the one place where other than talk radio, Thank you very much, where the left had a vast advantage over the right.

You know the reason that Facebook has been so appealing for conservatives over the last you know, decade or two, I guess it's less than two. Facebook came on line in two thousand four, right, I remember when I was in school, but my school was one of the first fifty or one hundred or whatever that got Facebook. And as we all know, it really was just about people wanted to see who else was in their class. It

was just about photos of people. And now it's one of most valuable companies, one of the most capital efficient companies on the planet. Uh, but they are incredibly powerful now. They are only going to grow more powerful over time, and they need we need to at least be honest and upfront about what's gonna happen with them. I mean, Jack Dorsey is saying now that people are gonna be getting time outs. He's the CEO of Twitter. People will

get time outs if they misbehave on Twitter. This is going to be who are the people that always boycott? Who are the people that like to be the hall monitors of speech, that like to go tattle to the teacher. It's always liberals that do this, my friends, You know this. It's always the liberals that want somebody else to weigh in and make the big, bad mean conservatives. Stop saying those mean things about you know, constitutionalism and low low

taxes and limited governments so mean. We just don't have it in our you know, culturally conservatives, in our d n A and our ideology whatever you however you want to put it. We're not Russian to boycott people all the time. We're not running off and hoping that somebody else is gonna make the bad mean people. Stop saying things we don't like. The left does this all the time,

and they're gonna keep doing it, and I don't. I don't have an answer for you right now other than we need to be aware of it and we need to come up with some ways forward. I mean, maybe that means that means some conservative platforms for free and unfettered discussion and debate. We'll have to see big art coming off. You know. I talked about home security a lot on the show because it matters a lot to me, and I have a simply safe system, which is simply

And Cuomo wants to end your second Amendment more than anything. Cuomo wants to take away your second Amendment. Now, he called me and he said, I'll never run for president against you, but maybe he wants to oh please do it, please please? He did

say that head that maybe maybe he amazing. The one thing we know they do say anybody that runs against Trump suffers the way you did that Game of Thrones level slogan from Trump. Anyone who runs against Trump suffers. That's up there with you know, we do not sew or you know, things like that. I mean, that's really those of your Game of Thrones watchers. Welcome back to the Buck Sexton Show. Uh. I like that Trump is already just he He's not waiting for the Democrats to

put forward whoever they want. He's gonna try to to goad them a little bit with you know, who are you really gonna put up against mere? Gonna put you gonna put Sanders up against me? You're gonna put Cuomo,

not broke Cuomo. We might get to him later on, um, but no, No, Andrew Cuomo, the governor of New York, the one who always talks like this, who generally yells and has nothing important, interesting or even vaguely intelligent, who say, I would likes to give his speeches, A deeply uncharismatic politician I would like to know other then his name. I mean it's kind of name recognition. I suppose, uh, why it is that he is even in a position

he's in right now. But but to give you a sense of what Trump would be up against right would be up against you? Uh. Kamala Harris recently when asked what what accomplishments have you had in the Senate, and it was, well, I'm on some committees, you know, stuff TPS reports. I mean, there wasn't a lot of substance there. You have Bernie Sanders, who's like free stuff for everybody who needs to pay for anything. It's gonna be amazing.

You have Occasio Cortez like and I gosh, like whatever, like I just want socially justice to be justifiably social. And I don't know who else, Elizabeth Elizabeth Warren. The problem right now is my Elizabeth warrempression. Is this gonna be my Hillary impression down an octave? Hello, the same, because he's just as charming as Hillary. Uh. And then you get Cuomo, who's up here. Cuomo, nobody needs a Buzuka to shoot a rabbit. N r Ray is evil.

They want chainsaw bayonets to chop up small woodland creatures with it is a very mean thing they do. Um. Oh. Also, Cuomo does not particularly of America from what I understand Play nineteen. Please, We're not gonna make America great again. It was never that great. We have not reached greatness. We will reach greatness when every American is fully engaged.

We will reach greatness when discrimination and stereotyping against women of our population is gone and every woman's full potential is realized and unleashed, and every woman is making her full contribution. And when I can penda shamelessly and continuously without saying a thing of any worth whatsoever. Wow, America was never America was never great. This is a folks, This is a return to Obamaism. If this is what

you want, we can go back to this. We can go back to politicians who claim that only through the vessel of voting for them, not can we make the country better because remember Trump, make America great again? No, no, no, Only then can we begin to atone for the sins of the past. Only then can we begin to get away from our failures as a country. Because we are not a great country. The Democrats believe we have never been a great country. We have to adhere to their principles,

their ideology, and then perhaps we can become great. Whereas what Trump has said is we're the greatest country in the world, the greatest military, greatest economy, greatest culture. Yes, that's right, I'll say it. American culture is the greatest culture in the world, the most freedom, the most prosperity, the most happiness, for the greatest number of people ever, not just Americans, but for our fellow human beings around the globe. You see, you have to take that into

account as well. We don't just grow in our prosperity here at home. We also have prosperity that reverberates around the rest of the world. And our way of life and our system has been so successful that others wish to emulate it. America is more than just a little bit great. America is the greatest ever all time. For about eight years, we were being told that we weren't so great. That's when President Trump came along and said,

let's make us great again. His reference was to a restoration of what had always been there, but what what had been suppressed. What we have been told to abandon. Much of what we knew about ourselves Americans. We were told to forget, and then Trump comes along and he says, no, no, we shall revel in our strength. We shall leave once again in our exceptionalism, and we shall be proud of what we have done as a country. Overall, that doesn't

mean everything. Nothing is perfect. No country is perfect. Every country has history to grapple with, has injustice in its past, has oppression, has tyranny, but we have less of it than any other country. Of our relative importance to the rest of the world by a huge factor. And also when you look at the greatness and the good that has been done and the rest of the world because of us, through us, and in response to us as Americans,

we have a lot to be proud of. And it's a remarkable thing that you have Cuomo there, who believes an effective way to pander to his audience is one to claim that, you know, there's this still this vast discrimination against women that's going on in this country, you know, until they reached their full potential. Uh. And then also just to say that we have never that America was

never that great. Wow. What an inspiring message from a guy who's only able to stand up and say this and be the governor like a great state of New York because of much better men and women who came before him, who had an understanding. I don't just mean the founders, I mean generations and generations of people who were doing the work to make this the freest, greatest

country ever. It is an interesting thing, folks, that the Democrats, culturally, the left has always taken a condescending view towards the very country that allows them incomplete not just safety, but from a privileged perch in society, to condescend to the rest of that country. This is that sense of elitism that Trump has been so successfully exposing and pushing back on. Finally, somebody who shows up who says, I have been among them. I am a billionaire, I am famous, and I don't

view my fellow Americans the way that they do. I want everyone to be able to pursue their own dream. I don't want to tell people that they didn't build that. I don't want to tell people they have to share the wealth more. These are philosophies, my friends, that have been tried in other places, and are still being tried in other places, with at very high failure rate of a It's just a question of the timeline eventually you

will run into catastrophe. If you try to build a society based not upon individual rights and individual interests, but a collective good that's decided by a group of elites, it is always a disaster. It's just a question of how quickly it gets there. Trump understands this. Cuomo clearly does not. But this is the problem that Democrats have, is that in this era of in this era of constant communication and the ability for all of us to

see and hear what the Democrats really think. At the end of the day, the problem that Democrats are going to have and winning back the White House is that the American people do not like what Democrats are really about. Not they say, you know, you notice that in all these Midwestern states. I saw a piece today and I think it was Politico, which is the left wing version

of The Hill where I work. Uh, And they will go off and talk about how the candidates that are winning for the Democrats, or that have won primaries in the Midwest, they are boring and white. That's what the

Democrats have been saying. I meanwhile, I'm just thinking myself, They're just trying to run candidates who can win these places and not playing identity politics, because identity politics in the state, uh, like you know, Indiana or Missouri isn't necessarily going to be a winning formula for the Democrats.

But that's still a problem for the left. You know that they have this focus on diversity over all else and on the intersectionality of American society, meaning the power dynamics between different people that are it's just levels of oppression. And this has become a psychle logical rot with the Democratic Party, and it's why they view American not just American society, but American foreign policy and American our way of of economics as all in some way tainted by oppression.

And clearly Cuomo thinks that this is a way that he can leap ahead of the rest of the Democrats in the field by by embracing this nonsensical uh ideology, because it is not I mean, it always falls into disrepair, it always falls into self contradiction. You can't hold these beliefs at the same time and and and still keep it all together. It's it's uh huh, we'll see. I mean. The good news is, I don't think anything can take out Trump. Nobody's even close right now. They've got nothing, folks,

nothing at all. We've got much more coming up. Eight four four to five, eight four four nine bucks. I'll be right back. What if I told you that I could give you a little extra boost to get through your day or to get your day started.

Mind friends, in many ways, but discrimination against Christians, I mean the believing, traditional,

actual God is God Christians. Not that like social justice, left open borders Marxist Christians anyway, but for actual Christians who you know, the Bible and Church and those are things that the matter to them. Uh, they are being discriminated against. It is very real. I know the Snyde elites of the left will mock people for saying this,

but it's true. And we have a great example of this in that once again they're going after not just general free freedom of religion, but going after master Peace cake Shop. Now you may be saying buck, Hold on a second, why do I know that name? Oh, that's right. Master Piece Cake Shop was at the center of that Supreme Court case decided seven to earlier this year that

was all about this. I named Jack Phillips, who was making custom cakes in Colorado and a gay couple wanted him to make a gay wedding cake for them or a wedding cake for a gay couple that would have celebrated their nuptials. You know, however, they wanted to be designed, and he, because of his religious beliefs, was willing to sell them a cake. Folks. He wasn't turning them down. He wasn't saying I won't serve you. He was saying, I will not use my creative talents in celebration of this.

A very good way of understanding this case is to say if you walked into a Jewish bake shop here in New York City and said, I want you to draw all over this cake, you know, swastikas and pro hitler slogans, and that person said, sorry, I'll sell you a cake, but I'm not gonna do that. We would all understand. Right, maybe, and you take it even further.

Are we gonna make the you know, the family of or or even still a living Holocaust survivor, right, suastikas all over a cake that you know, he and his private business or she and her private businesses. Uh? No, all right, we we wouldn't do that. But but you know, Colorado with this Civil Rights Commission, which is a total

kangaroo court all about social justice and leftist causes. They went after this guy, Jack Phillips, and the Supreme Court said that the Colorado Civil Rights Commission violated his free exercise of religion. And they were there were clear signs

of hatred members. These are the anti hate people of hatred toward Jack, towards Jack Phillips from the Colorado Civil Rights Commission just you know, I mean, basically just disdain for this whole Christian e thing and its traditional marriage position. They thought it was just disgusting. They made that very clear. That's why, folks, it wasn't a five four decision, it was a seven to decision. Now you might say the Colorado Civil Rights Commission went back down. Nope, they are

sanctioning him once again, this same individual, folks targeted. This is hounding somebody. Now, this is going after some They the left, the progressive left, wants to make an example out of Jack Phillips, even though the Supreme Court agreed with him. They simply will not stop. And this is this is a part of the problem of the narrowness of the decision, the Supreme Court decision. But let let me just first tell you what's going on here. So

he wouldn't do the gay wedding cake. And so what's happened now is that right after that Supreme Court decision came down, um, somebody called a lawyer called Masterpiece cake Shop and quote as Masterpiece cake Shop to create a custom cake with a blue exterior and a pink interior, a cake that would have celebrated the transition from male to female because this this alleged lawyer had come out

as transgender. Uh, folks, the same person, according to David French your National Review, made a number of requests to master Peaks cake Shop, including asking earlier for a birthday cake for Satan that would feature an image of Satan smoking marijuana. That was the same person a few days before that. This is all going to Masterpiece Cake Shop. Folks.

They are this is straight out of a lynskey. They're freezing the target, they're destroying the target, and the target is Jack Phillips because now Supreme Court sided with him, So now they're just trying to take him down anyway they can. If this guy's a baker, get your cakes somewhere else. This is a reminder, folks, the real tyrants are on the left. It's true, the real tyrants are on the left in American side today. It's a fact. They're always talking, Oh, fascism, a rise of fact. Please,

conservatives hate fascism. I don't like to be told to do anything, not even like paying my taxes. I don't like being told to do anything. Certainly not going to be a fascist, and certainly not going to be a tyrant over somebody else. I want everybody to have the maximum individual liberty they possibly can without a completely disordered

and antarchic sis. That's my view, but I digress. A few days before that, when they asked for the Satan cake, they asked for an upside down cross, the same caller an upside down cross under the head of Lucifer. And they reminded Phillips that religion is a protected class. And you know, you know what they're doing now. Now they're trying to use this religion versus religion argument of Satanists deserve that you can't discriminate against Satanists if you're a

Christian when it comes to cake baking. Um show Uh. They emailed also and said, I'm thinking of a three tiered white cake, cheesecake frosting, and the topper should be a large figure of Satan licking a nine inch black blank will not say the word. I would like the blank to be an actual working model that can be turned on before we unveil the cake. I can provide it for you if you don't have the means. I mean talking about putting, you know, sexual paraphernalia on a cake.

I mean, they're just folks. They're just hounding this guy. This is pure malice. And the problem here is a Supreme Court didn't do what it needed to do in this decision. The Supreme Court needed to say, sorry, you have to respect people's religious beliefs when it comes to expression, because that's what we're not talking about. You. It's not you can't sell and don't listen to the idiots. You don't actually read these cases, don't know anything. I read

the case. I can actually tell you what's going on here. It's not that they're denying any service to people. It's that they're denying the specifics of service that requires First Amendment consent for the activity, which is an entirely different part of protected speech. It's not that this is a public accommodation that has to be open to any and all people of you know that that walk in of any persuasion, it's it's baked that cake with what I say on that cake. I mean, at what point do

they draw the line? Can you can you have somebody renounce God on a cake that you're paying for, so you force a religious Christian to say God is dead? I want you to write that on the cakes, Signed Jack Phillips. Why why don't you do that? I'm a paying customer. What's the problem. These are the games that the left is playing, folks. And it's because the Supreme Court needed to come out and say that you cannot force somebody to violate the rights of conscience. Instead, all

they said was don't be wildly bigoted against Christians. Colorado Civil Rights or you know, Human Rights Commission, whatever it is. Well, guess what, Colorado Human Rights Commission didn't get the message, folks, and the social justice left shows its tyrannical side once again. Only half the people you can't paying for one their primaries so far. So maybe maybe there's a little there's a little taint to socialism the turns people, I thought,

I don't really think so. I think the real issue is that the ideas that we have been talking about almost without exception, Stephen, are now ideas that are mainstream ideas that are supported by the vast majority of the American people. Yeah, except I think about twenty five percent of Americans the latest poll I saw today would vote for socialist. This is why I've I've been of the belief for a long time that Bernie Sanders is one

of these. He's a candidate who the left is always gonna say, oh, would have could have showed it with him, but at the national level, it just it just wouldn't work. The big enemy of socialism and socialists, well, one of them is history, but in a contemporary sense, the other one is numbers. This is why I like Alexandra Cortez.

Cortez is like like whatever, like, well, just find a way to pay for her with like the things that come with the money, stuff and the places with all the money, and the things like I want free stuff,

you want free stuff, like free stuff. And people hear this and they go, well, if somebody that the press is holding up as the future of the Democratic Party is capable of of convincing themselves that this is a good idea, well, then clearly there there must be some way to make this happen, right, there must be some way to pay for all this or do all these things.

But the problem is no, there isn't away. In fact, you see, this is what always gets left out of this equation um by the socialists in this country, and increasingly Democratic Party is actually a socialist party. They don't call themselves that because there's a there's a still in aversion among the American people to that term. But the policies are People keep saying, oh, why don't we have something like they have in Europe. It's like, okay, well,

we already have a trillion dollar welfare state. We already have essentially free community college almost free, if not free. We have medical care for all starting at age sixty five, and we have social secure I mean, you know, we do have a lot of programs in place that are that borrow from what you would consider to be democratic socialism in Europe. These people just want to push it even further though, And what they won't tell you is that the only way to even get close to the

kind of programs that they want. And this is why Bernie Sanders think that it's made stream. Everybody wants to do this. This is the way of the future. Well, it's the way of the future until people have to look at a price tag, right, Bernie Sanders version of socialism is to send somebody into a store and say, look at all these things. Do you want these things? The person says, well, yeah, yeah, and he said, but

you can't see the price tag. And and let me tell you this, not only can you not see the price tag, somebody else is gonna pay for it. You're not gonna pay for it. And that's that's the fundamental lie here. I know it's used over and over, but Margaret Thatcher's line about the problem with socialism is that you always run out of other people's money is true. It is timeless because it is so accurate. At Sanders going on Colbert, he knows Colbert doesn't push back that

much on this. If you want what Denmark has, for example, your or let's let's take Sweden, I think that's the That is the prototypical example of what democrats point to is by the way, Mike uh, I think there were sixty cars lit on fire earlier this week by Swedish quote youths. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that those youths were not named, uh spin and

spin all off. I'm gonna I'm gonna go even further and suggest that just based on the headlines here without digging too deep, and you can let me know, Mike if I'm getting this one wrong, that some of them would be more recent arrivals in Sweden. Sixty cars lit on firefolks up to more than a hundred. There you go, burning down cars left and right in neighborhoods and Sweden.

This is something they're not used to. By the way, there's also been grenade attacks in Sweden, something they're not used to courtesy of some of the more recent refugee population arrivals there. But put that aside for a moment. And by the way, I've actually talked to Swedes about this burger and that's where I speak sweet SPURGERG good. I'll stop, but I I've talked to some of them, and they there's an anxiety that they won't discuss in this country. There's a reason why they lie about the

crime statistic. There's a reason why they don't want people to know the full extent of what's going on in Sweden, meaning the Swedish people, because when they start to find out what the demographic change has been in that country, what it means for Swedish society. Uh, the ones who haven't been brainwashed are saying, maybe this is a problem,

Maybe this isn't a good, maybe this is unsustainable. How large a non Swedish speaking foreign based welfare or foreign entrance into sweden welfare state can you really have before you over tax the system? Um. And and this is where I would say, you know the problem with the Bertie Sanders approach on this because people that they we this is what ends up happening. We point to Venezuela, they point to Sweden. Okay, well, which one is a

more apt example. Um, In Sweden you have a middle class that first of all, you have a very high respect for rule of law. And that's across the board. Swedes just culturally obey rules and regulations. This is just the case. Whereas I spoke to the U. S Ambassador in fact two senior ambassadors to Mexico and other Latin American countries, and they said that of crimes in Mexico and never punished, you can imagine what that does to the sense of rule of law in a country. But Sweden,

which also is true now in Venezuela. I mean there's no law and order. Sweden has very very long standing cultural respect for the for institutions and for regulations and for order. It also has very high taxes on everybody. So if Bernie Sanders wants to make this case that Americans want democratic socialism here like they have it in Europe, Bernie Sanders needs to go around telling truck drivers and carpenters, and you know, he's got to tell people like my

uncle Jeames, who's a locksmith and a carpenter. Hey, you have to pay sixty of your income to the federal government. It doesn't matter what you really make, and you have to write that check. You know, everybody's got to be contributing. Whereas we have a country right now where half of people don't pay any federal income tax, half of adults no federal income tax. Wow, that's a That's an interesting

state of affairs, isn't it. So he's not even being honest about um, he's not even being honest about what it would take to get where he wants to go. And also, as I've told you Sweden and Denmark, it'd be people in Norway doesn't count because Norway is like Saudi Arabia with Norwegians, meaning that they've got a ton of oil. They have a huge sovereign wealth fund that funds a lot of their you know, the funds a lot of their social spending and welfare program social welfare programs.

It's also a country of very few people, relatively speaking, a small population. What is it it's reading here about the tax rate? What's the tax rate in Sweden? Mind? So if you make thirty two thousand Isna Corona Corona, you're a tax between forty nine and sixty What am I saying on the show all the time? Mike? You know, Papa Buck does his research. You know what I'm saying.

I mean, this is what I'm telling people. You, Bernie Sanders, if you want Sweden, thank you Mike for doing the you know, Mike is like the sniper doing Overwatch, making sure that I'm hitting the center of the target all the time. But I mean, I I'm I'm glad to know that my my research on this in the past is still accurate. If you want Sanders, isn't In America you have to tell house painters you're paying fifty. You're

incoming taxes now. And and by the way, if if the American people want to do that, then we can talk about free college for all, free health care for all, you know, then we can have that discussion. And I still think it's a terrible idea. But short of that, this is magic being that will grow into like never never Land, thinking this is crazy. Meanwhile, Sanders was on the Colberto Pool, which I haven't been on the Colbert Show. You know, it's kind of rough. Stephen makes me sad.

Actually that's not true. My hands, My hands were on the show. Oh and I was making my eggs. Let's go to Bucks eggs. Those are some good eggs. But here's what Sanders said about Pelosi's leadership. Yeah, I think Nancy has done a good job. Let me say good job. I think they have demon if they is bankrupt intellectually, Uh, they are not going to campaign on their views of giving tax breaks the billions and cutting Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, so they have to come up with some demon.

I guess the demon now is Nancy Pelosi. You know another word for or or an explanation. When Bernie Sanders says Republicans are intellectually bankrupt. What he means is they can do maths. Because we are twenty now heading to twenty one trillion dollars in debt. This will become unsustainable, folks. And the problem with this debt issue is that when you when it is when everyone has to admit that it's a problem, it is too late. Um. And And all that's going on is the generation right now that's

in political power. The boomers sorry, are affording themselves benefits that future generations will not have and leading those and leaving those future generations with the tab that is mathematically what is going on in people? They call me, they get mad, They say, oh, buck, I paid into Medicare, I paid into Social Security. Well, the average Medicare recipient takes out twice what they paid in over their entire lifetime.

The math doesn't work, folks. Math doesn't work. So the debt keeps getting bigger and bigger and bigger, and eventually debt service payments will start to crowd out other spending. And when people if people lose confidence in the dollar, we've got big problems. But but before we even get to that, I don't think that anybody really needs to take Sanders or Occasio Cortez or any of these people seriously until they're going out there saying I want health

care for all. It's gonna cost you half of what you make. You in the steel mill, you in the you know, in the third grade classroom, police officers, Uh, you know, you're all paying fifty percent of your income in taxes. When Democrats will make that case, honestly, I will listen to them. Short of that, it's just demagoguery. Short of that, it's Bernie Sanders hoping that the rest of us are are either unwilling or incapable of doing basic arithmetic. And I really hope that you know, the

the American American youth. Now I sound like a grumpy old man, but it's true. Just learn something about what's what really, what socialism actually means and how it works in practice. Learn something about it. You know, I'll tell you this, Mike, would you want to start it? Would you want to start your business right now? In Sweden? The notice not a lot of Americans are like, let me go start my business in Denmark. There's a reason for that. There's a reason why people are coming here,

and we're not all running over there. Trust me. I mean, there's plenty of reasons. There's plenty of reasons to like Sweden. I won't get on them right now, but you know Sweden can be a fun place to be eight four four to five eight four four nine buck, if you would like to please do light up those lines. Team. We have much more coming up, and in the third hour,

I'm gonna talk about immigration and also dogs. I think they're doing it in order to put pressure on others in the administration not to kiss and tell or not to get a job and then try to make money on a book so soon after leaving the employee of the person and the government. The question is whether or not a contract is enforceable. That contract may violate principles of freedom of speech. That's why it's a complicated case. In general, I think government employees should be free to

disclose what they want, acceptive it's classified material. So if I had to make a prediction, I would think she would probably win this arbitration. Can they silence omar Rossa? Can anybody silence olmar Rossa? That's probably even better question. We we will get into this now. We actually have an attorney here with us. Who's gonna be representing the side of freedom, truth and justice In this case, we

have Emily Campania with this. She is an attorney, legal analyst, sports analyst, and uh also hosted The Five recently on Foxes. Here on TV, Emily compiled, great to have you back, Thanks for having me back. All right, omar rossa. People are saying they're gonna try to shut her down with these nd as. What's going on with these? Can the White House forget about the classified stuff that's totally different the spederal statutes that govern that other n d a's campaign.

White House? Can they shut somebody up with those things? Are they enforceable? How does this work? Right? It's kind of you know, I hate to give that typical attorney evasive answer, but it kind of depends. And I think what's important for listeners to understand here is that, first of all, the n d A that um that has just been that the enforcement has just been filed in arbitration. That's with the Trump campaign. So it's a whole different ball of west than the White House to begin with.

But the thing about arbitration is that it opens a whole can of worms in terms of the what happens with it, and you're essentially saying, look, we want the efficiency of an arbitrator, and it's generally behind closed doors, so it's super secret and whatnot. But there's all still a whole host of information and subpoenaing and documents and evidence that oh, Morossa might um basically petition the quote unquote court or the arbiter to release. So it could

backfire tremendously, is what I'm trying to say. And I also think that for listeners, you know, arbitration is generally it's not like a court. It's usually a practicing attorney who isn't a judge by profession um. And there's a lot of issues with it as well in terms of appealability. So it just doesn't go the way that the you know, officially Trump campaign, non officially White House wants it to go. Then there's not a lot of room to move forward.

And if it's not, if it is ruled in their favor or even in hers, what's the enforcement like what damages can they prove? That's another huge element of this that I think is missing in the kind of larger conversation. Yeah, I mean, you have to convince somebody to say or

you have to convince this. You said the arbiter in this case, right not not a jury, UM, that Donald Trump has suffered some kind of arm that given all the the the you know, public right to know with what's going on with the presidency and everything else, that he should be compensated by a former employee. I just it seems to me like kind of a stretch. But the White House has been thrown thrown around this nd A situation like they actually think they can get some

mileage out of it. Well, and what happens if she just ignores this whole thing and just like she says, she doesn't believe she's found by the contract, But let's just say that the arbiter says, no, you you are bound by the contract and you do have to have to retain this confidentiality. Well, first of all, you can argue, of the cat is out of the bag that we know of, and you could also argue, well, even if she goes ahead and does it, what is she going

to be liable for? I think one tactic that UM the White House could participate or could pursue would be um financially and essentially if they sue her. They actually sue her, and they obviously would have to be specific. Trump campaign sues her in a court of law, then they could essentially stall ring this out for as long as possible so that she's paying a tremendous about or

defense built. But given the attention they keep shining on her, it seems like she's probably profiting from her book sales at this point. So the best remedy would likely to

just stop talking about it now. First, for some companies, I do know, I think of of nd as that involve trade secrets, right, I mean, if there's if you can actually point to real monetary damages from the release of specific trade secrets information, right, Like if you work for Apple and sign an NDA, I feel like the Apple police can come for you, right, I mean they

take that stuff very seriously. So there are places that aren't government, uh that can still that I believe it come after people successfully if there's very specific information that they've I think even somebody did this with a trading algorithm at Goldman Sachs or one of those places, right, I mean, did have there been cases you know of,

Emily where people have gotten nailed on NDIA violations? Absolutely absolutely, And that's an important distinction here that in the proprietary world, in the trade secret world, and even in the UM knowledge of an industry or of that particular company, absolutely and they're the onus would be on the UM employee to prove that they that the company was not damaged in some way UM, and that by he or she jumping ship or getting a job in the same industry

too tune or whatever, that indeed UM didn't have the effects that the company is arguing. But I also want to say that in that realm, it's adhered to you know, much much more, I mean riddled in those industries, especially in tech, especially in even healthcare and the biosciences like that, people absolutely adhere to those n d A s UM. I think for the reasons that we're just talking about, which is almost a far there's real monetary damages. Well,

O'marrose is not gonna stop talking no matter what. I think. We'd all agree on that everyone, Emily Campano dot com. Check her out on Twitter Emily Campano, Emily, thank you so much. Come back soon. Phil. We just hope no one in the dog community is watching. Does this president really fas clean? Not like dogs. That's right, Brian. He's actually the first president in more than a hundred years who has not had a dog as a pet in the White House. He has lived with a dog before.

When he first got married to his first wife, Havannah, she brought with her a poodle. He resisted the dog. He didn't want to have anything to do with the poodle, but she said, the poodles coming along. Chapp He's coming along. Turns out Chappie didn't like Trump very much because whenever Trump would come near Avanna's closet, Chappy would bark at him territorially. Ivana writes about this in her memoirs. This is a new level of APO where a story about how a dog by his ex wife twenty years ago

didn't like him. And so this just goes to show you there is nothing about Trump that they can't find a way to turn it into. Trump is the worst they hate him. That's there's nothing that is that is safe from this now troll. Brian, first all, Brian Williams coming back, The fact that we still have to deal with this guy's hilarious right, just goes to show you it's all about which executives like you at these places. Wow, there are telling Osama bin laden with a with with

my bare hands. You know, It's like, Okay, Brian Williams is still out there doing his thing. But Donald Trump do dogs dislike him? News tonight at ten uh, and they're pushing this whole thing and your how is this a news story? How is this? First of all, I don't like poodles that much. I'll just get that out of the way. But how is this a news story?

I'm gonna tell you something I actually met. You know, this is funny, little little side note for you, producer Mike I actually met his first wife's dogs on many on many an occasion. They were very small and very yappy. I love dogs tremendously. I think dogs are incredible. They're They're a gift for all of us. Ivan's dogs where you know a lot of little like ankle biters not not my favorite dogs. You know, they were very uh they had like the little little fruit fruity haircuts with

little ribbons and things too. You know, it was not this isn't like Trump didn't like a yellow yellow lab named Rufus. This is like Trump didn't like dogs that are look like they're going to be held by an old lady in one hand, you know what I mean, Like, that's that's just not my thing. It's just not my jam. But notice how Trump is a bad guy for this.

That's that's the real takeaway is how do we make now add to the list of Trump's a racist, he's a misogynist, he's a homophobe, he's a he's a trader, he's crazy. He's now I have to add dogs don't like him either to this list. And this is breaking this a Brian Williams, We did a lot of research on this one. Only one photo of Trump with a dog. Oh gosh, man, And they wonder why we don't take them seriously. They wonder why this is a moment of tom and people don't have a lot of respect for

the press. That the guest that Brian Williams had on said, that's right, Brian, He's the first president more than a hundred years. That's not how a dog as a pet in the White House. So what First of all, he he likes to travel around a lot. I'll let you know that, you know, having the dog, I mean, do they have room for the dog in Air Force one somewhere. But how does that even go. I'm sure they do, but you know, he probably doesn't want to deal with it. Do they have dogs at Mara Lago that he can

play with? I'm sure they do. Why are we even talking about this? Why? But but a better question is why is Brian Williams talking about this on TV? But one thing that's interesting and hat tip the Daily Caller here, Um, there are a lot of photos of Trump with dogs in the internet. So why is Williams going on air saying we could only find one photo of Trump with a dog? There are lots of photos of Trump with dogs.

Better questions, who the heck cares? They are so deranged about this guy that they view things that nobody cares about hearing when it comes to the president as a possible look, I'm gonna tell you right now, Obama had a couple of dogs, bow and whatever. I don't like those dogs. I didn't. I those will be very low on my But I didn't have a problem with the bottom because he's allowed to choose ugly dogs. That's his choice. You know. I think they were the and they were

the designer dogs too. They were like, uh not cocka poos, but like something poos, you know what I mean? You know what any of the not a shelty pooh? What do they call them? You know what I mean? Oh? Golden do I think there were golden doodles, doodles. I think they're golden doodles that they weren't poos, there were doodles. I don't see Trump's dogs or anyone's dogs is really having all that much. Although I will say that the presidents, as I've seen, uh, they don't pick that. They don't

make the best picks when it comes to canoes. If we're really gonna dig into this, you know, if we're gonna be breaking news here in presidential canines, you know, I've I've did. Has any president in recent memory had like a Golden Retriever or a Labrador or an English bulldog anything that's really cool? I think not. They all go for like, you know, cocker spaniels and it's okay, all right, you know what I mean? What, Brandy, don't are you not a dog guy? I am allergic to dogs?

Oh my gosh, I am a mess, you know my You know, my girlfriend's Molly's actually allergic to dogs, but she loves them so much that she does not care and just takes his her text so she can be around them. Well, my girlfriend has a cat. I'm less allergic to cats, but I take Claridon, So we all have our problems there. Hey, hey, like I can't eat a piece of bread without like probably having to go to the speaking of and part of the phrasing speaking of poos. I grew up with a poodle toy poodle

was not allergic. However, my mom's dog, now a multi pooh, supposed to be hypoallergenic. I'm allergic to I'm the ultimate nerd. Maybe you just don't like the dog, you know. A long time ago, I dated a girl who had a cat, uh that she just referred to as as Gordita because it was so fat. It was like this fat and I figured, it's a fat cat, so it should be like lethargic and and maybe kind of friendly like Garfield. False. That was the meanest cat. Ever. The cat used to

scratch me. That cat was not friendly at all, and I should have that was That's what you call a red flag in the dating scene. Whenever somebody has a pet that you have to be careful around. Red flag because the pet is always a reflytion of the owner. Folks, this is this is uh so if Brian Williams giving you anything, it's just remember that, all right, that the pet is. So Trump doesn't have a dog. So we

can't do any analysis here. But if you spend time around somebody's dog, you know who that person is their anxieties. There nerses, What do you got from? Mike gerald Ford had a goldie? There we go. He's the only one. He's the only one. Gerald Ford's a real American. There you go. You know that's no no surprise there got got a bum wrap for his time in the in the presidency. But all right, we gotta let's talk about

some serious stuff. You're coming up. Immigration got a comparison of Democrats then and Trump now, it might surprise you stay with me. Thanks to the president's actions, we've seen a crisis unfolding on our southern border and across the country. Crisis was willfully and purposefully created by this president through his zero tolerance policy at the border. We all know how we got here. The situation is a big mess.

It's the big mess, they say on immigration. You'll notice that they have no solutions Uh, they have absolutely nothing to offer up in terms of what to do at the at the border. Um, they have nothing that they can can because the alternative is to do what was being done before, which is anybody who shows up at the border. I mean, this is what Chuck Schumer must want, and I want everybody to remember this going into the midterms.

The alternative is that if you show up at the border and you've got kids, you get let into the United States and are told to show up maybe in five years for an immigration hearing. That's what That's what the Obama administration pushed for. That is what they wanted and what I what I really think is important. Is it right now they're telling you all on all this immigration stuff, they're pretending like this is you know, they're

they're the moral ones. How could people be such monsters on these on these issues if just family separation and it's so terrible, and there's all the xenophobia they say all of these things. Meanwhile, it was just a few years ago that there were folks that were sounding very much like the loudest and most critical voices of Republicans

in the Democratic Party on the issue of immigration. We have a little mash up here courtesy your producer, Mike of what Chuck Schumer sounded like on immigration back in the Obama era, back in the Obama years, and what Trump sounds like now. And this might shock some of you to hear, so let's play it. We use phrases like undocumented workers. We convey a message to the American people that their government is not serious about combating illegal immigration. Now.

They'd like to use the word undocumented because it's more political. I don't use that word. They're illegal immigrants. They came over illegally. Some are wonderful people, and they've been here for a while. They got to go out above all else, The American people want their government to be serious about protecting the public, enforcing the rule of law, and creating a rational system of legal immigration that will proactively fit our needs rather than reactively responding to future waves of

illegal immigration. But we want an immigration policy that's fair, equitable, but that's going to protect our people. What the American people are pleading for is sanity and common sense in our immigration system. People who enter the United States without our permission are illegal aliens, and illegal aliens should not be treated the same as people who entered the US legally. You cannot obtain legal status or become a citizen of the United States by illegally entering our country. Can't. And

you'll notice that there was a lot of similarity. There wasn't there, folks. That was Chuck Schumer, most powerful Democrat senator in the country. I think you would clearly say right now, I don't think there's really a there's not

even really a second choice. And Donald Trump, now, the Democrats used to pretend that they wanted border security, used to pretend that they were for the American worker, and new that that the issue of supply and demand when it comes to labor does not go away just because it's politically convenient for Democrats that when you have a supply issue with workers, guess what, you pay them more. All of a sudden you have the workers that you need.

This is what This is not really that complicated, but it's made complicated by people who are lying about this, who refused to tell the truth about what is really happening in the world in the realm of immigration. And I I sit here and I play this back for you, and I could even read to you from some of the editorials written by The New York Times back in the late nineties, where they were saying that illegal immigration

is a problem. It's destroying our sovereignty. It pushes down wages that the American worker, particularly I would note, illegal grant to compete with disproportionately with the African American community, with Black Americans who are trying to move themselves up the economic ladder, that illegal immigrants compete for those jobs and and create problems in the black community. You know, this was all consensus opinion within the Democrat Party for

a long time. This was all the way that they viewed it until things started to change, until Democrats realized that the key to unified, unipolar, uniparty control of the entire US government, at least at the federal level, was bringing as many illegals as possible from disparate cultures who generally don't speak English, don't have a background that would make them able to compete quickly in the in the American economy, except in the most uh low skill, low

wage jobs, and bringing as many of those people as possible, they'll be more dependent on government and they will vote for Democrats. It's a it's really straightforward. It's it's actually not a complicated plan that they are executing, but we should at least be honest that that's what they're doing. They should be honest. That's with it. What happened to Chuck Schumer. Illegal aliens were bad years ago. Undocumented was a nonsense, nonsense term years like, I mean, give me

a break, folks. I just saw. I know, this is a total what's this thing with Ruth Bader Ginsburg is like some kind of pop culture hero. Now, Ruth Bader Ginsberg is an old lady. Okay, she I'm not impressed by her workouts. She's not a hip hop star. They gotta stop with this stuff. It's so pathetic, it's so cloying. This whole Oh RBG is such a badass. No, she's an old lady who's a lawyer, who's on the Supreme Court. That's it. I just saw that they're doing a CNN

documentary on our the Notorious RBG. It's it's so there's RBG action figures what is wrong with people anyway? It's just it's look, I'm not saying it on the arbiter of what's cool, but she is not cool. You can say you think she's intellectual, she's eloquent. She's important for you know, the liberal left to get what they want through the Supreme Court they can't get through the legislature. But don't tell me that she's some see some pop

culture icon. It's just creepy Democrats anyway. So back back to sorry that was I just saw the commercial for Senna. Back to immigration here. Um Trump is where the Democrat Party was ten years ago, and now they say that he's a racist. And in fact, now that's the main opposition on the immigration argument is that they're just trying to make this a moral a moral issue. In fact, they're trying to engage in a kind of moral blackmail all of the Republican Party, of everybody who supports Trump

by saying that it's all about race and racism. You have people from major platforms who say that all of Trump's supporters are racist. You can simply believe that racism and West supremacy produced better outcomes for everyone, that black and brown people will be better off too if white people are just in charge. If you just follow this man, what what what he wants to do, you'll be better off for this that people do think like that that has turned a blind eye to what he's doing, or

they are actively cheering it. If you look at some of those rallies what he's doing, they're part of it. There's no separation from me between the person who has the racist philosophy and the person who supports the person with the racist philosophy. Not all the Germans who stayed silent while they drag people into gas chambers hated the Jews, but you were silent and then you let it happen.

This is a repeat of what you've heard before, which is that if you support Trump at all, you are complicit in everything that they say that Trump that's doing is evil. That was Charles Blow of the New York Times, and his arguments on on this issue are the same as they are on every issue, which is that it's always about race, it's always racism. I never hear anything

from him that does revolve around charges of racism. I've been on TV the same time he's been on TV at CNN, and I can tell you that he has He's got one storyline he really likes to talk about.

That's how racist America is all the time, and that is as he's going on national TV and collecting six figure paychecks for his New York Times gig and for CNN, I'm sure, and probably also for lots of speaking engagements across the country where he just talks about how racist the American people are, and liberals like to hear this. I don't you know. Liberals have been so infused with this, with both white guilt and the only way that they think they can overcome white guilt, which is to agree

with all this progressive race obsessed demagoguery. An immigration is where you see this in some of the most profound ways of an immigration. Now, if you are not effectively for open borders, you're considered a racist. That's what they've done. That's the new rallying cry. Because they won't be able to make an open argument about why open borders is good for the country. They're not going to be in a position to look you in the eye and say,

you know, would be a great idea. We just took millions and millions and millions more people on top of the millions of millions we already have who are overwhelming the processes of assimilation in this country, who are maintaining incredibly close ties to their country of origin, because their country of origin is within walking distance of the United States. Very different thing, folks, than when you come from across

an ocean and realized this is it. Uh, if you say any of this now, they're just going to tell you that you are racist. That is the that is the new storyline. That is a new thing that you will well, I should say it's it's just a repeat of the old story line. But that's where we are right now. That's right, that's how the situation is unfolding. And on immigration, you know, apparently Chuck Schumer was racist

ten years ago. That's what I find so strange. Apparently Obama was a bigot when he went into office because he was in favor of traditional marriage. He was not somebody who what's supportive of gay marriage, So he must have been a big at them. But they allowed him to be a biggot. The same people that are telling you day that Trump and his ideology are it's it's you're not even allowed to support him politically without yourself

being a racist. They're willing to say that supporting Obama while he was opposed to single sex marriage same sex marriage was was fine. These people have no principles folks. They have They have no argument that is not rooted in emotion and emotional blackmail. It's just all virtue signaling mixed with hysteria mixed with rage these days. And that's really troubling and I wish it weren't the case, but

that's where we are. And on immigration, I'm gonna continue to hammer this because it's important we have real conversations about it. Um, they boycott a brewery because Trump liked the owner like Trump's tax cuts. We'll talk about that coming up. Brewers making the best beer in the world, and the tax reform was a very big deal for all of it. They have boycott sam Adams, folks. That's right. That is how the liberals are playing the game now.

They're even willing to boycott sam Adams because the the mayor. UM Well, because the owner rather of Samuel Adams said that the tax cut. He didn't even say he loved Trump, he just said that the tax cut that Trump put into effect helped his business. And I just think this is perfect. You have liberals, in response to free speech, boycotting a an iconic domestic American beer named for a

patriot and founding father. I feel like, that's a that's pretty much a summation of of contemporary or modern liberalism. You know, they're even willing to boycott Sam Adams. Now this is just by the Somerville, Massachusetts mayor, Joseph Curtatone, whom I have to say I am not I was not familiar with Mr Kurtatone's work before this, or Curtatone or whatever is Curtatone probably is what he says his name.

But this just goes to show you how sensitive all of the all the liberals are about all this stuff when they're unwilling to even give a little bit of leeway to a as I said, an iconic American brand

like Samuel Adams. He said, the mayor of Summerville, Massachusetts, by they do we know how popery big, right, that's one of these Massachusetts towns where people still kind of walk around and breaches a few times a year and carry musket's, you know, do some re enactments that that he will never drink Sam Adams beer again because the founder of or co founder of that Boston brewery said that that he liked the Trump tax cut. See this

is really the expectation. And then this is the important pointer. This is the expectation of of of liberals today. You aren't even allowed to say. You aren't even allowed to say what is good for you or good for your business without that being used against you. You aren't even allowed to take the position should that at tax cut, which just means more money for more money that you are able to keep, less money that the government takes

away from you. To say that is a good thing is now a deeply politicized statement, so politicized that you should be boycott for boycotted for this whole process. Uh. And that's just insane, right, It is insane, By the way, Brandon, if I were to ask you, what is the I haven't had beer in almost ten years now because I can't because beer is essentially liquid gluten. What is the greatest domestic American beer right now? Well, you're asking somebody

who hasn't had a drink in two and a half years. Really, Yeah, that's just that's just because I just decided I have a brother. I have a brother who's like, I just don't drink no reason other than he's like, why, I was never a heavy drinker, so I did enjoy say same, Adam yeah, well, I mean like I I feel like sam Adam for me is the most is the most iconically in terms of its imagery, at least the most iconically American beer. But this when I did drink, I

would have sam Adams Winter. I would go with the sam Adam seasonals. Two. Look, it's not gonna hurt it sales because no one's even really heard of this place, so who really knows. But I do think that when you're boycotting a great American beer because you don't like what the founder said about tax cuts, maybe it's time to reevaluate some of those priorities a little bit. Maybe it's time to take a step back and say, hey,

not absolutely everything has to be political. There is some space in life to enjoy sand Adams Winter and maybe even summer, all without arguing about politics. It's time for roll call. Indeed, roll call time everybody's favorite time, at least my favorite time where I get to uh lean on the thoughts and insights and all the stuff that you bring to the table. So there you have it. I very much appreciate it, and I look forward to getting into it with you today. Well, let's get to it.

Facebook dot Com slash buck sex and if you want to be a part of it. By the way, I'm coming to you from the from the NYC Freedom Hunt a New York. It's just like a breath of fresh, stinky air every time I come up here. Man, it's amazing this. You know. One thing I always noticed when I was in different parts of the world, especially back in my agency days, is how different places smell. And you know, New York smells very different. I don't need

in any one place, all right, I know that. You know, you go to like the Port Authority and you're in the wrong corner and you smell things. No, I just mean the overall air in that city has a different brand. You know what I'm talking about. It just smells different. You know, d C smells different from New York. I can tell you Cobble smells very different from Baghdad. And you know they both smelled very different from anywhere else

in America. Uh. That's usually because of the burning of trash as well as Uh there's a lot of burning of human waste that goes on, which then aerosolizes it. Yeah, you can figure out on your own what that means. It's not good when you're coughing and you're like, wait, what am I? Oh that's not good? Alright, alright, alright, So Facebook dot com slash box sexon roll called Erica

Under Obama, v A employees through serious efforts, made sure vets didn't get the care they deserved while guaranteeing those same employees got their undeserved productivity bonuses. Under Obama, the A t F lost the credibility of keeping guns out of the hands of criminals with fast and furious. Under Obama, the Secret Service that an uninvited and unvetted couple into a

Another agent drove that suspicious package while in South America to prefer Obama's upcoming visit agents not only use prostitutes, they got in a fight with the locals be because they refuse to pay those prostitutes. Okay, and there's more and more. Erica taken the Obama administer russion two tasks and are doing quite a good job of it. So yes and eed, Erica, and thank you for your thoughts, thank you for writing it.

You know what I'm gonna do tonight, Brandon, I'm gonna have a decent slice of pizza. Perhaps tomorrow morning I will go get I'll buy a bagel. You may say, Buck, you can't even eat a bagel because you are Celiac. That is true. I'll buy it anyway that because you know what I know about that bagel, Brandon. It's better than any bagels I'm getting in the swamp. I'm just gonna stare at it, say, oh, you perfect New York bagel.

You you perfect piece of pizza, maybe even some ethnic food that doesn't taste like it was frozen before I ate it. I'm just I'm just saying, DCS, Okay, it's good for my swamp access. It's good for my swamp access, but NYC is better. And Austin for my barbecue, will be even better than that. When I get out there for the Austin barbecue meat, will you come, Brandon? Do you like barbecue? Am I an American? Aren't? Are you

an American? That's a good question. I mean you're you're kind of like a New York Northeastern creature like me. You know you're New Yorker, But I love barbecue. Barbecue is amazing. So it's one of those few things that brings together all of America is that barbecues. But what is the best of the barbecue meats brand that I'm putting you on the spot here, what is the top of the barbecue food chain. I'm just an old fashioned hamburger guy. It just depends that kind of you mean.

I mean, like what kind you mean, like barbecue bar You know what I mean, Like when you go to a barbecue joint, like pulled pork, and you know, I recently went to one. You not, maybe my second time, so the first time in a while. You don't you don't keepsture obviously, no, no, I'm not good with my my faith. I got you well, you know. Look, I mean I can't eat in the pork. It's delicious, my favorite meat. So if we're getting eat these things. But I'm a brisket guy. That's the thing. A brisket is

my favorite of the barbecue meats. I think that's that's the best. Some people are like I like barbecue chicken the most. I'm like really probably also probably also like Bruce Springsteen, if you like barbecue chicken the most. I'm just saying overrated alright, Amanda. Next up here, in Roll Call on Monday show, you discussed what would happen if big tech companies decided to get in the social justice business.

You should talk to Ross Patterson. He's the director of the movie Range, and he recently wrote a book that was eagerly awaited by a veterans group. He was close to getting on the best seller list when Amazon blacklisted his book on release day for excessive violence. Huh, who knew? I did not know that story, but I have to say I'm not particularly surprised by that story either. So, yeah,

they they're gonna use folks. They're gonna use these terms of service violations, They're gonna use all these different little tricks two uh, skew things against conservatives. I assure you, I promise you that will happen. Bob. Next up here, Shield time. Brother. I'm out sure if you've seen it, but check out the Socialist Rifle Association here on Facebook. Huh. Keep fighting the good fight, as we hear in Pennsylvania, stand up and oppose Antifa as part of the constitutional militia.

Thanks for all you do, Bob. Uh Okay, Thanks Bob. The Socialist Rifle Association I've never heard about that before. That sounds Brandon. You want to go, Brandon, you can be our special Socialist Rifle Association correspoted. I've never heard of that before. I'm kind of scared. Um. I'm sure it's just people like do a little shooting on the weekends. Um and I that's uh, what's what's next year? I'm

trying to find. Oh, here we go, Mud writes, Buck, love your heart, Please keep sticking the truth in our faces. Remind everyone that life is a zero sum game. When is miss Molly settling him the swamp? Cheers from Matthew a k A. Mud, Ms. Molly is already in the swamp, my friend. She just happens to be away on business for the week. But she is a She is now a swamp dweller. She gets you know, I get her mail.

She's she's now a DC resident like me. Yes. Indeed, that's that's the making making all kinds of moves down to our nation's capital, where even though the presidents of Republican it feels like you're supposed to feel weird about being a Republican. That's the way it is down there. Oh, let's see, we have whoops sorry, I just made it. I just made it go away here but all Bart, my buddy Bart, I can I can always tell when

it's one of my old school original Saturday Squad oss folks. Um, we have Bart saying buck regarding what you said on the show on Friday, August tent about the never Trump Republicans. Uh here here we're you know. Bart. Bart doesn't mince words. Bart doesn't mess around. He's a guy who get's right to it. Um. Uh, never Trump, who would rather let

Democrats win then support Trump. Psychiatrists have long ago identified a type of behavior often seen in teenagers who suffer from an enlarged self of self importance, a sense of self importance, and who uh feel all events happening around them strictly in terms of themselves. This is why teenagers often resort to suicide attempts as the best solution, wanting

to shake the world around them up and garner attention. Uh. Those who survived these turbulent years then become never Trump Republicans and once again practice their art with an undeveloped teenager's brain whoa willing to sacrifice their country, their party, and greater issues that supposedly stands for for minor offenses, or to win personal favor, or just as the attention that it gets them from mainstream media. Bart Bart doesn't Bart doesn't go with the light stuff. You know what

I mean. Bart's not writing in to tell me that I should really watch? But are you? Are you a Battlestar Galactical guy? By the way, Brandon, am I making judgments about you? Right? Judgments? I'm making judgments. That was okay, okay, alright, But my geeked him goes only So where where where does producer Brandon geek out the most? I was, okay, well, that's that's wild. I was big into who is your

favorite turtle? Uh, Donna Tello? I know I like respected as long as you don't like Leonardo because he's like the hall monitor of the Ninja Turtles. Well, I have three younger brothers, so I am the Leonardo of our group. Well that it wasn't my favorite, but but as long as you know, I was a Rafael guy. Except here's my problem. I was like Rafael. Rafael was the best hand to hand based on the movies and also the cartoons um and also was the toughest. But his weapons

are the lamest the side. Come on, dude, I would rather I would rather have any of those weapons. Although uh, nunchuck oose also known as numb chucks, are highly ineffective. They look cool in Bruce Lee movies, but they're highly affective. But I will have you know they're actually banned in New York City. People got so scared of numb chucks, as they improperly call them, that you were not allowed to have them. They're banned up there with brass knuckles

and uh, I think collapsible batons too. You can't carre on you in New York. Hey, I was unfamiliar with the proper pronunciation, so thank you. That's what I'm here for. But also I'm surprised you didn't say Donna Tello because he has the bow staff. Usually people make fun of him because it's just quote, just because if you can kick butt with a stick, you actually know what you're doing, right. Leonardo has two unsharped knives. Basically, I mean starring Leonardo.

Raphael has two unsharpened knives. You know, one of one? A little fun a fun bit of of trivia for you, by the way, you know what the the guy who is um uh the creator of Two and a half Men. His biggest credit before getting Yeah, Chuck Lorie, Chuck Lori wrote the theme song Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. That was his claim to fame for years until he became like a good jillionaire from Two and a half Men, Banky Chuck Lori. Yeah, thank you, Chuck Lori. So there's so

there is that. Um, all right, I've diverted from the role call I know you're gonna get mad at me. Hold on a second team, Brian Right Buck saw and promoted some of your tweets about the real truths on the d C streets during the Antifa anti police protests as you and your brother saw it in person. Yeah the quote extreme right protests. How does the media get away with these crazy lies? Stay safe out there in

the swamp. Brother. Also just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your and Porter's Weekly Investment Our podcast and how much I get from it.

First of all, Brian, I'm so glad you enjoy the UH the Investor our podcast, the Stansbury Investor Hour, which is I have to say, UH, if you're interested in finance, which I am, I'm I'm learning right, I am the student UH Porter who's the CEO of a very successful UH financial newsletter and research company called Stansbury Stansbury Research.

Porter the CEO of this company which has a couple of hundred employees, and he does this podcast with me once a week, and I am, you know, he is obi Wan and I am Patawan on finance. I don't know any of my finance, but I've been learning a lot from doing the show and reading their research and that. I just like that part of life where you're just learning entirely new stuff. And Porter is want a really charismatic guy, but also just an encyclopedia of knowledge about

the markets. You know, should you buy Gold, should you buy Google? Should you buy he? You know? So if you're interested in that kind of stuff, folks, I think it's the best finance podcast out there, and I've listened to a bunch of them, more famous ones. I think he does a phenomenal job. And I kind of sit there and just play the everyman and talk to him a little bit about this and that little political analysis. But it's mostly for me to learn, and that's kind

of the role. I play the role of guy who is learning and uh about finance, and Porter plays the role of, um, you know, guy who actually is is teaching about finance and stuff.
