Creepy Biden Can't Win

That and more on The Buck Sexton Show. This is the Buck Sexton Show, where the mission or mission is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake America, You're a great American Again. The Buck Sexton Show begins. Analysts, remember, no economic numbers just came out. They're very very good. Our country is doing unbelievably well economically. Most of you don't report that because it doesn't sound good from your perspective, But the country is doing really,

really well. We have a lot of very exciting things going on. A lot of companies will be announcing shortly they're moving back into the United States. They're all coming back. They want to be where the action is. I'm heading to the border. We're building a lot of wall, We're going to show you a section and a lot of things are happening. A lot of very positive things are happening. Welcome to the buck Sex to show everybody. One hundred

and ninety six thousand jobs in March. Numbers just came in today, and so sad day for Democrats because the country is still doing well, still a lot of job growth, a buoyant economy, a growing economy, and I guess it's doing more than just floating rights. It's actually moving in

the right direction. And if you ever want to feel like the so called experts really know nothing, just go back and read some of the leading economists that are propped up on TV and with columns in the major newspapers what they were saying about what this president would do to the economy. Now Here we are two years in on year three, and still a very very strong economy, a lot of growth, and still a tremendous amount of optimism in the small business community. Entrepreneurship is on the

up and up. Things are looking pretty good. But you're not gonna get us as Trump knows, I mean, he said it. You know, they don't want to talk about it. They don't want to talk about the economy. They'd much rather discuss Trump's tax returns Play thirteen. Oh, I don't know. That's up to whoever handles it. I don't know. Hey, I'm underwood it, but that's up to whoever it is. From what I understand, the law is one of the laws. One percent is favor, he says. I I think that

we are going to eventually see Trump's tax returns. I don't think they're gonna be able to keep them secret. You're gonna get some judge just because remember, all it takes is one or maybe a few, depending on whether it's an on bank review or something in the appeals court. But you know, you don't need a lot of lib judges. And there are plenty of Obama appointees and still plenty of Clinton appointees before that who sit on the bench. And all it takes is the right circumstance, and once

that stuff is out, there will be out there. I'm not worried about it for Trump's sake. I just think that the likeliest scenario of all is that they're going to use it to try and mock this president. But these are whether we're talking about the Press Corps or the Democrats, there's a fundamental lack of seriousness in their conversation and what they're trying to do, what they're trying

to say. This is all once again colored by the I Hate Trump disease that has infected the minds of Democrats across the country, and so there's not much constructive discussion or reporting that goes on. It's all just finding the latest rage narrative to placate the left wing loons over at MSNBC and at CNN and wherever else you find the looney Tunes left. Here is just a smidgeon, just a little taste of what you hear on those networks right now about the member. The Mulla report is out,

there's jobs numbers out today, economy is good. For the borders a mess, it's a disaster. We'll talk about that later. I'm not saying there aren't a big problem. We've got big problems, but the economy is actually pretty good. It's not a big problem. And under another president you would have the media celebrating this. I mean they are actively rooting. The Democrat press is actively rooting against America here. They would prefer there to be suffering of the America people

as long as it benefits Trump. They don't care about that, I'm sorry, hurts Trump. They don't care about that suffering if it means that Trump is in a rough position, in a rough spot. So here's what they want to focus on. That somehow the Mueller that they were singing

Christmas carols to Muller not long ago. They were that there are reports in places like the New York Times about how you know, aging left wing true believers are were worried that they would die before the Mueller report came out because they wanted to see justice so badly, justice of course, being that Trump is frog marched out of the White House in chains. That these were the stories.

This is what it's out there. People were crying, People were devastated that the president wasn't a traitor, which you and I knew all along, but they didn't know that. Apparently they truly believed the opposite it, which does not speak well to their judgment. And this is what they say now, Oh, it's all part of the big plan here, a cover up because the report is not out yet. Play nine. If we get to mid April and still don't have the full report, well let's start to look

like a cover up. Every day that goes by without the American people getting the actual report, the details that you talked about is indicative of a cover up. The fact of the matter is that Barr could show that he cared about transparency if he went to the court, as Juwarski did and said Judge, please release us to the House Judiciary coman, he's doing nothing of the kind. So he's perpetrating, in my view, a cover up. This has the smell of cover up. What do you have

to hide? And it seems like Barr was covering up for the president, or at least trying to whitewash some of the nastier facts. But they have to know by now how it looks. It looks at this point like a whitewash. If we start running our government based on lies and deception and cover up and make that the normal standard operating procedure, we're moving into a very different form of government. A cover up, they say, wow, a

cover up. Keep in mind here that all along Bar has been saying that they will they will release the full report. Is it is It has not been a question that they were. I mean, they're going to be redactions in it, and as I've been telling you, they're going to say, oh, the redactions are an effort to hide this information, but they are going to release the

full report. That they're so focused right now on the speed with which the report is going to be released just goes to show you that they need a focus on something that is not substantive in the objection, but just gives them something to get up said about. Oh my gosh, they have not released the report yet. Yeah, that's because there they haven't. They haven't had time to go through at all. They have not had an opportunity.

There are pro Muller rallies that have happened recently in Times Square and I'm trying to you know, they have they have things in this. They have song lyrics they are distributing to people with things like next plane to Moscow and puppet King and you know we will stop you. And it's all this anti Trump stuff. I mean, this has really become a part of a part of this left wing protest culture that the Muller probe is something that should be celebrated even though it didn't take Trump down.

I guess, you know, they there's just a bizarre delusion at the heart of all this, and they will not focus on things that really matter to anybody who is normal. They just want to pretend that there's a cover up that's going on here, even though there's no evidence whatsoever that that is the case. A few weeks to go over a three or four hundred page report of this kind after two years of what we've seen is for

the government that's lightning speed. A couple of weeks to look at a report of this length, and I just I have to hammer this point home. Remember all of the voices you're hearing right now in the press and in the Democrat Party saying that they want transparency, they need transparency, because there's another whole set of documents where transparency sounds great to me too. Transparency is really appealing.

I want to know what was provided at the FIZ accord to get warrants to do spying surveillance on someone like Carter Page. I want to know what was said. We all should know. I'd like to know how large a role the dossier played in all this. Jim Jordan, of course, agrees with me. Play ten. If we want the truth, if Jerry Natter wants the truth, then let's let's release the FISA application. Let's get the three zero two.

If Jerry Nadder wants the truth, call in Glenn Simpson, bring him in an open hearing, put him under oath. See if he takes the fifth like he did in front of our committee in a closed door deposition. Indeed, closed door deposition. Huh, Let's see that information release release the Kraken release, the FISA release it. Let's see that. Let's have Glenn Simpson testify. Let's bring some people forward here. They were so obsessed with this investigation. I want to

see where this all goes. So I just wouldn't know that. You know, it's a good news. The goodness of the country today is bad news the Democrats. That's all. That's really the takeaway. Economy, strong, good jobs numbers. Democrats are, Oh, it's terrible. Let's talk more about the cover up with Bar. Are they going to admit that there wasn't a cover up and Bar releases the report? Of course not. These people have no accountability, they have no integrity, they have

no honesty. Howard Schultz, interesting characters. If there's some interesting folks who are popping up in this fight for the Democrat nomination, you got that guy, Andrew Yang, I interviewed him recently. Peace he's at least intriguing. I will give him that. He is intriguing, and he'll talk to anybody. He will sit down with conservatives. Bernie, even though I think he represents an evil ideology, will talk more about that going forward to Bernie will subject himself to questions

from Republicans. So many of these other mainstream Democrats are such whimps, won't defend their ideas publicly, will only go into media outlets that are part of where that really constitute the heart of the echo chamber. But Howard Schultz is a guy who I don't know if it's for reasons of patriotism or just sanity, doesn't want to see the Democrat Party become the party of socialists, and he sees what's going on here. He sees where this is

all heading. I want to get into some of what Schultz said in just a moment, so team we also just so you can get excited about what we have to look forward to on the show. And Friday, I told you we might be joined by some friends. We have an all star lineup of Lawrence Jones from down at the Border, he's an old friend of mine from

the Blaze. He'll be joining also off campus Reform dot Org, David Harsani from The Federalist, and back by popular demand, the one and only Jesse Kelly, all eight foot ten of him. He'll be joining us on radio. You won't be able to see him, but you can just hear from his voice that he's He's the Jolly Texas Giant. He'll be joining us later on the show to talk about some of the biggest news stories of the week.

It's a Friday, so fry ya get excited, kickback, relax and let the good times role in the Freedom Hunt will be right back. If a Democrat runs who resembles Bernie Sanders, who says he's a Democratic socialist, Donald Trump is going to get reelected. But on the character issue alone, lifelong Republicans will not vote for Bernie Sanders, but they might vote for somebody who is independent, a centrist, and wants to restore a faith and confidence in the promise

of the country. Howard Schultz, former CEO of Starbucks. Does he speak for more than a fringe in the Democrat Party. I wonder these days do they recognize how damaging it would be. How much of a massive see change it would be if Democrats put forward as their candidate officially somebody who describes himself or herself as a democratic socialist. No longer could Democrats say, oh, don't say it's socialism, it's not socialism. Oh no, your last candidate was a socialist.

That means your party certainly is a party of socialist principles and platforms. Right now? Do they realize that? Though I don't know, do they understand the real long term implications? Has Trump broken them so much? Has Trump so thoroughly trolled and demoralized and deranged the left that they don't

have the capacity for judgment anymore on this issue. I think it's very possible that they will put forward someone that does fit into what Schultz is describing here, and that it would be even if here's what I'd offered you. I mean, they better get amnesty through and essentially destroy the economy and get single payer all in the next presidency, because if they put it forward a democratic socialist and here he loses, that's going to haunt their party for

a while. I don't know if they'll reform themselves or not, but I don't think the American people are ready, at least not a majority of us are ready to accept that socialism is the future of this country. Democrats a fair number of them do, but not a majority of us. But there's this, they're sane voices in the Democrat Party that are trying to warn their fellow travelers. They're trying to warn them about where this party's headed, where it's going.

And for example, of Schultz is saying something here on immigration that is going to make him completely unacceptable to the left. Play five. I can promise you that Nancy Pelosi, under any circumstances, will not give President Trump a victory on immigration. The issue that we have to recognize is this President Trump is correct and the Republican leadership is correct that we need fierce, strict levels of control on that border. That is absolutely true. Those guys a Democrat, folks,

it's a Democrat. He probably understands some basic principles of economics, like supply and demand. Like dumping endless amounts of unskilled labor from the Third World on this country is not, in fact a recipe for economic success, assimilation, or social and political cohesion. It's probably not a good idea. He understands that it's not a good idea to have lawlessness at the border, because lawlessness at the border begets lawlessless

in the interior. If we won't enforce the laws at the US Mexico border, we're not going to enforce the laws against people that violate those laws once they're living in Cincinnati or San Diego or Tallahassee or wherever. So this needs to be a situation that we get under control. But speaking rationally as a Democrat these days is dangerous business.

That the party has gone hard left, far left, and Schultz in trying to save it, may, in fact, in some ways, I think, solidify just how crazy they are, you know, because people like Occasio Cortez and we'll talk about her later on the show. Pocazio Quartes, Bernie Sanders.

These leftist true believers, when confronted with the biffoonery of some of their most important ideas, their reaction is not to reflect, to deal with the numbers that are presented to them, or deal with the counter arguments that dismantle the delusions that are central to believe that what they think is correct is going to be correct. They just double down they dig in because that's in their nature.

There is a self reinforcing cycle among leftists of anyone that disagrees with them has to be acting in bad faith and as a bad person and has bad ideas, And that's now in ethos that comes from the top down among Democrats. The most powerful Democrats take that approach to the other side. They are not trying to win converts. They are hunting heretics. Schultz knows this. And I don't know how much room there's gonna be for Schultz in the Democrat Party or you know, I know he's talking

running third party. They're gonna put the heat on this guy like nothing else, because yes, if he if he did run, I think he hands the whole thing to Trump, which would be amazing. So I'm kind of liking Schultz right now. He's saying some sensible stuff, and he's a sensible guy on some issues, which separates him from most Democrats. I'm proud to be a bartender. Ain't nothing wrong with that. There's nothing wrong with working retail, folding clothes for other

people to buy. There is nothing wrong with preparing the food that your neighbors will eat. There is nothing wrong with driving the buses that take your family to work. There is nothing wrong with being a working person in the United States of America, and there is everything dignified about it. I, in fact, I'm encouraged when people remind the country of my past, not because of anything about my story, but because it communicates that if I could work in a restaurant and become a member of the

United States Congress, so can you. So can you. Ain't nothing wrong. She's saying kind of a strange affect all of a sudden in AOC speech there at the National Action Network conference. I've never heard her sound like that before. Ain't nothing wrong, she said, What was that? She all of a sudden kind of got like a little bit of a southern vibe. It seemed to less yeah, and noticeable to me, you know, notice to me, I thought, it's a little a little strange. Also, here's a classic

Democrat tactic. I want to talk about Strawman. What exactly who does she think she's refuting with this, It's nothing wrong with preparing food or driving buses or No. We like people doing jobs and getting paid for them. Yes, that's right, that's the system we have capitalism, the system

that she seems more fond of. Is one that disincentivizes people from working really hard, because it's very, very hard to get ahead, and it's very hard to benefit personally from your labor in the way that you would like to, because of all the constraints put on you by the government, because of what Bastiat in the Law, a book that I would highly recommend to any of you who want a pretty quick but very insightful read on why redistribution is what he called plunder, which is just the seizure

of what is yours by this state under the guise of it being moral or ethic are good that that leads to all kinds of problems in society. President Trump recognizes the downside of what can happen when the government decides what you can have and should have or should not have. You mentioned Venezuela today, play fourteen. Venezuela is a mess. This is what socialism brings. You elect the

socialist here, you'll have the same exact countries you haven't Venezuela. Now, I mean, it's not going to turn into Venezuela overnight, So I have to I Trump is right here on right here, in the spirit of things, but take a little more time than that, but it would put us on our trajectory that I'm not sure we'd ever get

off of. Ones. People are of the belief that what they are being given by the government, that the government has seized from other people is not just the their legal right, but a moral right, an ethical imperative imposed by the state by the government. Very difficult to change their minds later on. Does not matter what the end results are, does not matter how much damage is done

to the economy. People never want to be told that what they have been given was not theirs in the first place, and they certainly would not want to be told in an AOC approved redistributionist system that it's not going to continue going forward, that people are going to have to make ends meet on their own. If you had told me even five years ago that there would be such an open embrace of socialism the Democratic Party,

I would I would have said not yet. I knew it was going to this place, but it has surprised even me with its speed. I mean the acceleration into full on socialism from the Democrat Party, meaning and look, I know that what they're really just doing is moving along with the and going further down the line on beliefs that they've long held and that this is their progressives and this has been a progression into socialism. So we have been expecting this, but it's sped up, it's

gone faster in the post Obama ark. Obama, as much as he didn't accomplish things that I think we're good for the country from the perspective of state control, the enlarge, the enlarging of government, I think Obama was very effective at setting the groundwork for where we are now, which is a full on socialist running for the Democratic nomination

of the presidency. And I know that Bernie ran agains Hillary in twenty sixteen, but it was still considered a knock on Bernie at the time across the party that he was a democratic socialist. That was definitely and that's why they went with Hillary, the most unlikable candidate in recent memory to be on any major party ticket, because they thought she was electable. Why was Bernie not electable, Oh,

because Bernie was a socialist. Now they're saying, not only is Bernie perhaps electable, but he is elected because he is a socialist. That is quite a change. And the adoption of Sanders esque policy proposals by the Democrat Party overall is indicative of exactly the kind of shift that I'm talking to you about. We've been expecting it, but it's happened much more quickly than we anticipated. There's also a shift among Democrats to stoke racial tensions. You're seeing

more of this. I want to discuss that with you and how it's going to play into not just these primary contests, but the twenty twenty election and some very unsettling ways. That's coming up today on the four hundredth anniversary, an anniversary of the first Africans being brought to this country and slavery. The average black family now has one tenth the wealth of the average white family. The truth is that this racial gap exists because slavery, segregation, Jim Crow,

and predatory lending well from African Americans. Just last year, the Republicans in North Carolina's ninth Congressional district through enough votes in the trash to rig an election. Massive voters suppression prevented Stacy Abrams from becoming the rightful governor of Georgia.

Last election, we saw great campaigns run for governor by Stacy Abrams Andrew Gillum and Ben Jellis, all of us recognize that we have a long way to go to end the institutional racism which permeates almost every aspect of American society. Democrats, all these white candidates who talk incessantly about race, and I find it very, very illuminating that the way that they discuss race is from a perspective of such intense negativity and divisiveness, and I think they

speak about race in a deeply irresponsive way. You know, I'm and I know that you know this. You get into some pretty pretty tense territory here with some people. But I've got to tell you there's a real rewriting of history that's occurred about what race relations were like under the Obama administration when Democrats were in control of much of the government, most of the government until this sort of the second part of Obama's term, and we

had what were effectively race riots. I mean, that's what the anti cop Black Lives Matter riots in Ferguson, in Baltimore and elsewhere. That's what they would be called, or would have been called years and years ago. There were riots stoked by racial you know, racial antagonism, racial animosity, and I just think that Democrats are so completely and utterly irresponsible with how they talk about these things. And for Bernie Sanders, who is very sensitive about this issue,

because Bernie is like as white as I am. I mean, Bernie is a very, very white dude. And you know, Bernie Sanders is a guy who's is obviously from Vermont, which is one of the white est states in the country. Too. He gets up on stage and says that race permeates every aspect of our society. This becomes obsessive. I mean, I don't even think that that's I don't know what that's supposed to mean. What are we supposed to take

from that? If race, and by that he means racism, If racism permeates every aspect of our society, we have we made progress or not has have a race relations the last seven or so years dramatically improved. Do we have equality under the law? In fact, this is where Democrats get very very testy. The only inequality we have as a function of law privileges certain minorities, not all minorities, not Asians, but privileges certain minorities over others, and over

certainly over the white majority. In this country, and I would would start to wonder when we can have a conversation that goes both ways about this doctrine of white privilege that white liberals are some of the biggest proponents of talking about. But this doctrine of white privilege and the usage of the term white supremacy to describe all kinds of aspects of society that no normal person would

think are permeated with or infused with white supremacy. When when do we get to have an honest conversation about how this has become a kind of hysteria, that this is just it's it's now, it's it's too much. You know, when can we say that that people who claim that America as Eric Holder did America as as a nation of cowards when it comes to race, we talk about

race and racism incessantly. I mean, if you turn on MSNBC at any given time in their primetime lineup when they weren't doing Russia collusion delusion for you know, night after night, if you've gone before that period, the chance that they're being some story on race is very very high. I mean, CNN covered the Ferguson riots and covered the whole Mike Brown situation, you know, in a way that

was clearly intended to inflame tensions. And what they do is they get people, you know, all people that they can, from all different backgrounds and ethnicities, really angry about what's going on. And then the transference of this and this is the Olynsky style mobilization. They get people really angry over race, and they say they're the bad guys, and

they are Republicans. It's you and me, although I know they're liberals who listen to this show too, And I'm so glad that you find this show entertaining enough and information dense enough that even though some of you disagree. I love getting those emails. By the way, whenever I have liberals that reach out and they say, hey, I don't really agree with you, but I just I find the way your take on things interesting, I take that

as a high compliment. And there are some liberals that I well, I read a lot of liberal stuff, but there are some liberals that I deeply admire for their skill at least even if I think they're wrong, their skill in rhetoric, in argument, in writing show. You know, that's you gotta gotta respect the game. Sometimes back to this, this this year of the Democrats and race. I'm trying to get a little bit ahead of this because I think we need to be prepared for what is going

to be a very ugly election cycle. They are going to call this president so many terrible names and say things about him that when I when I say, it's irresponsible.

You know, to claim if you're sitting in elected office in this country and you claim that the President of the United States is effectively a neo Nazi, that and then you also are always pushing this narrative that white supremacy is infused all throughout American society, that white nationalists are the biggest terror threat in this country and we need to be on the on guard against white nationalists. You know, Oh, why is the TSA going through your

stuff because of all the white nationalist concerns? Right, I mean, it's ridiculous. But in that environment to say that President Trump somehow fits into that is to create the the grounds for people to go way outside the bounds of civilized conduct and to do things that are that are illegal and that and that are horrific. You know, I have not forgotten that it was a Bernie Sanders supporter. Now, people who bring up that guy, Sayok, who is just a you know, a delusional loser and and a loaner

who was in the kind of magamobile. You know, Yeah, he sent bombs. He sent bombs in the mail the people from the networks. My understanding is that the bombs were not intended to go off. Doesn't mean it's okay, the guys should get to prison for a very long time. But I remember it was the only person who's actually shot someone in recent years in American politics was a Bernie Sanders supporter, a Bernie Sanders supporter who believed that

Republicans were a threat to this country. And that's not a leap from the rhetoric and the stories and the things that you're seeing on the mainstream networks. You know, and this is a very important distinction. You know, Sayok might have been the guy who lived in the maga van who was sending the pipe bombs in the mail. You know, he may have been in the comments sections of some far right websites, or he might have been

you're reading Stormfront or whatever. But the guy who James Hodgkinson, who shot Steve Scalise, almost killed him, tried to kill many more, specifically conservative members of Congress and targeted them, had a list of their names. His thought process about how Trump is a danger, the Republicans are a danger. They're destroying this country. That's mainstream media thought. They say

that is that they're danger. I mean, this is and this is what I mean by talking about how, you know, Black Lives Matter was was being magnified that cops were hunting young black men for sport essentially in this country, that they were murdering them because they are so racist and they just felt like it. Well, if that's really true, then there are people who are going to act on

that in terrible ways. Right the same way we talk or the same you know, logic is something you have to transfer to what we're seeing here at the talk about how racist and terrible and racist this country is. Some people are going to hear that and they're going to act on it in ways that are unpredictable and could be very damaging. And I just am sick of Democrats being so completely reckless in their demogoguary about this.

Elizabeth Warren does not care about poor people or minorities more than you and I, Bernie Sanders does not care about poor people and minorities more than you and I. And this is one of the fundamental pretenses of contemporary liberalism in this country, is that people that adopt these positions and these talking points care more about black people in this country, care more about you know, women in

the LGBT community. They just are trying to gain power and virtue signaling and treat our side like we're not trying to treat everybody like equals, like people of equal dignity, and in the eyes of the law, in the eyes of God, they just basically leftism is cancer, is what I'm saying. And it's cancer in the debates or in the discussions over race, and it's cancer and the discussions over everything right now. And I think we're heading into

a very dangerous period. You're just it's early. It's early. The Democrats are focused on each other right now, but you can see the initial embers for what I think will turn into a conflagration of hate against this president in twenty twenty. It's coming, and we need to be prepared for We're gonna go back to that period where they're shouting people down in the streets and scary things

are happening because Democrats are nuts. In February, Leadership Institute field organizer Hayden Williams was just trying to help some conservative students recruit for their group at UC Berkeley and he was viciously attacked by a radical leftist thug. One of my closest friends when I was in college was trying to recruit for college Republicans and he also was punched in the face. Folks, it's out of control. The leftists are running a muck on campus and trying to

silence conservatives. Do you want to help? Do you want to help make this stop and support conservative speech so that it flourishes on campus and then in the rest of American society. I certainly do, and that's why I urge you to please go to take Back the Campus dot org. That's where you can find the Leadership Institute, the premier organization for educating and training conservative college students. You want activists on campus who are conservatives, Visit take

Back the Campus dot org. Get into this fight team, help our conservative activists. Make a donation today take Back the Campus dot org. Check out the Leadership Institute. So we're in also disaster response, I mean it really is an emergency. You've seen the people at the border. So what I've done is I've basically instituted a very traditional

emergency response posture. So I'm pulling on all of the departments in the federal government asking them to fill those resource needs that we have because we have declared the emergency. So we are doing that now, and then we continue to work with the military. Borders a mess. I've been telling you I was down there last week. I was down there a couple months before that. And our next guest as a friend of mine who was also just down there. You got Lawrence Jones in the house. Everybody

you know him. We're from Fox News where he's a contributor. Also Campus Reform where Lawrence Jones can be found Campus reform dot org all about the campus wars for free speech. Mister Jones, my buddy. Good to have you back. What's going on? Brother? So tell me where were you at the board? Were you in El Passo like me? I did the Laredo sector. You did Laredo? Okay, so we'll tell this is great then, because I do. I was in on Passo last week. I've been talking about on

the show. Tell me what they're telling you at Laredo sector. What's going on, Well, there are a couple of things. You know, the cartill. You know, a lot of people don't understand that, but I know you do. Thought we may control the American side of things, but in order to cross the least specifically in the Laredo sector, in order to cross that border, it goes to the cartel.

They're paying thousands and thousands of dollars to get people across. Now, last year we saw uptick of the Bangladesh nationals coming across and that is since stopped, and that's because Border Patrol took out one of the cartel leaders there. But in the last month or so there's been this up tick of Chinese national So the night before last, as I was on the ride along, the Border Patrol engaged

with two Chinese nationals. They arrest rested while we were in the middle of this ride along, and they told me that this is an uptick that they're going to see for a couple of months now because there's a new avenue for them to get across the border. Now, what's important about the Laredo sector is that although the Border Patrol is technically responsible for a hundred percent of that sector. They can only protect thirty of that sector. That means sevent is open wide open for illegals across.

And what were they saying just about the the resources that they have to deal with this problem given the migrant crisis is happening across the border. It look at Lawrence. Last year was the most violent year in Mexico's history in terms of murders, and a vast majority of those are drug cartel related fights over turf and people assassining you know, members of police or people who talk or

snitches or whatever. What are you hearing from Laredo sector about the drain on resources at the border that has happened from the migrants and what that means for the battle against the cartels. Well, so there's a couple of things. Uh. As far as the resources, and I mean not even getting into the border wall, it's technology aspect, even though that is a big part to make this work. They

don't have enough agent to do their job. And you know, I've seen it firsthand now that a lot of these agents are put in difficult situations because it will be one Asian in the field covering a part of the sector and they're backed up will be fifteen twenty minutes away. Now, if you're engaging with eight illegal aliens, which they come in groups because that's how they pay the cartel, they

have guide to get them across. Then if there's a weapon, if all those who have weapons, then that asian the gout of luck because their backup won't be able to get to them. So, you know, the border wall is great. We need it because it slows them down. As a part of the system, we need the technology advances as well. But if we don't have agents there that are equipped

to make the arrest, then none of it matters. What's it like in Laredo, by the way, these days, you know, El Paso was pretty was pretty quiet, although it was interesting. I met with the El Paso mayor and I said, are you guys seeing any any crime that's across from the border in a way that not including illegal crossing, but more along the lines of violence, you know, felony crimes. And the mayor of course said, oh no, we're one of the safe We're the safest city in America. Are

one of the safest cities in America. And then I spoke to some of the Border patrol guys. They said, actually, we've started to have some drive buys and some things are getting a little a little hotter here than they've been in a while, in part maybe because law enforcement resources are so fixed on trying to deal with what's going on with the migrant crisis, at least when we're talking about border patrol, so the cartels might feel a

freer hand. I'm just wondering. I mean, it's Laredo pretty quiet, are they are they worried about a surge and some bad stuff going on? Well, it depends on what part of Laredo. The houses that are closest to the border are the ones that are affected the most. I mean directly. Like for example, last night, we did a riot alone and as the agents were pushing them back to the river, they cut back and going across the border behind people houses. We got a call from the Laredo Police Department that

put it into the Border Patrol unit. That's the super were behind. Now, uh, they end up getting them. But again there's been gun fights, which is why you know, this is old trending topicy about me wearing a vest that the Border patrol maybe put on part of the reason because there's been gunfights, um, and there's been violent and when the cartel gets upset, uh and there becomes these turf awards, Uh, then the public that are on that border that you know, they suffered the consequences up that.

I can't stress this enough. Although we have control on high side, the cartel runs the other side, and it's only a river separating that, uh, you know us from them. And I know that ao Ocasio Cortez aoc H went after you with her social media because as you said, you put on a vest which you were told to do by a by border patrol and a ride along situation I don't know could even be for them. It's

just to liability an insurance issue. But yeah, but but aoc is giving you know, it's giving you a hard challenge one and what you told me you clap back at or what did you say? Well, and grels here since she doesn't believe there's a crisis the border to come to the radio sector and get a brief in just like I did. You go out there, um and and do a ride along with these ancient and experience um,

the terminol that they've experienced on the border. I mean it's in say, I have way more respect for the border patrol ass um. Before I came there, you know, I just supported them, But now I've seen what they have to go through their life of the risk every single time they're out there because they don't know what they're gonna interact with, especially at nighttime. It gets really

crazy at nighttime. Um, and in the middle of my Fox shit the other day when I'm doing handing these programs, Uh, they just start crossing the border and right when we finished it, we hop in the car in the pursue them. But you just never know. And so AOC is acting like there's not a problem. The Democrats act collected a problem. There's no violence, And is this absurd Either there being intellectually dishonest or they're just straight up lines. So Lawrence,

I know you. Also, we're gonna switch gears here for a moment. You are at Campus Reform, So you're part of an organization that's trying to highlight the speech wars on campus and really the efforts by the left that continuing dominance by the left, or of the left's censorship

of conservative ideas and thoughts. And you know, we here on the show have partnered with the Leadership Institute, which is on the front lines and is very much involved in trying to create conservative activism on campus to counter all this stuff. I just wanted to take a moment here because you know, you're a friend of mine, you're a friend of the show. What is the Leadership Institute

really doing? I mean, what do people need to know about this organization that, for full disclosure of course, is one of our partners now on this program. Yeah, so the Leadership introduced trains conservative activists on the college campuses. We know there is a war happening on the college campuses,

and the Leadership Instances essentially equipped young people for that battle. Now, on the campus reform side of the real the media arm we, I'd like to tell people, were the judicial watch of higher ed and we hold them accountable by reporting every single day over one hundred and ten correspondents or a college students that write about what's happening free speech issues, liberal biases, and doctor nations that happened on

the college campuses today. And there was really a boy because the media really didn't cover this, they didn't think that it was an issue. And when campus reforms started to expose courses such as at San Diego State on how to Impeach Donald Trump literally being taught in the classroom. People started to be really alarmed. And it's because of the patriots, the grandmothers and the moms and dad that are really concerned about socialism taking over the culture that

we've been able to be so successful. Folks, you should all check it out. Leadership Institutes a place that I think is doing really important work in Lawrence over campus reform is raising the issue. Lawrence, We're gonna have you on to you know, we want to have you to raise awareness about what is going on on campus and some of the battles that are underway for free speech, especially after Trump signed that executive order. We're gonna hope

to see some real improvement. But people should definitely check out the organization. We'll be talking more about them later on the show. Take Back the Campus Dot ordered we were really free stated. Just support us and help us fight this free specist on the car. I've been over there to visit Lawrence and the rest of the team guys, and I can tell you they take this mission very very seriously, and they understand how important it is because

if we've lost the campuses. We're losing that next generation that they're turning out, and they're progressive indoctrination factory. So if you want to help fight, you want to help Lawrence and his colleagues and partners in this fight take back the campus. Dot org is where you should go. Lawrence Jones, my man, great to talk to you. Good work down on the border, and we'll have you back real soon. Thanks, brother, we'll talk soon. Team will be

right back. I don't know how many more children need to be exploited, or how many more families need to be put in harm's way by a trafficker before Congress will act. But as you saw, we have tried everything we can at DHS. We are absolutely out of the ability to manage this flow and they need help. Congress has to act. They have to get rid of Patch and release Shane migration visa lottery. They have to get rid of the whole asylum system because it doesn't work.

And frankly, we should get rid of judges. You can't have a courtcase every time somebody step their foot on our ground. Trump is right, but Sayings has to act, unfortunately, is insufficient because we know Congress will not act. I was joking around with some colleagues today over at the Hill where I said, maybe maybe what the founding fathers really had in mind was gridlock. You know, maybe maybe

they preferred it being very very hard. I think you can make a real argument about this being very hard to make sweeping changes to governance in this country. And so what we think of as part as in gridlock is a status quo by design. That's certainly an argument one can make because we're always saying, oh, why won't Congress do this or Congress do that. We have so many more laws now and so much more in the way of statutes and legislation than we ever have in

our country's history. Maybe it is time it's slows some things down on this issue. However, the current system is bad. It's not that we need new laws. We need laws that will fix what's going on, or we need legal and statutory larity on what's happening here. And that's why I don't see how this will improve, because there's no incentive right now. For certainly the Democrats have a majority in the House. And look, I have to say it, we there was a lot of time wasted early on

in the administration. You know they went with the travel Band. Well, if you're going to get into a big political fight on an immigration related issue, I don't think I would have started with travel band, folks. I just I wouldn't have. It's not how I would have gone about it. And so that's I just feel like there, Look, there have been some mistakes made here, There's no question about it.

And it would be in many ways surprising if there weren't mistakes, because you have people that are trying to work within the upper reaches of the government bureaucracy in this White House who are kind of new, who not not kind of new, are new to the game. But the problem now, as I see it, is only likely

to get worse. As I have been telling you. One area of this that I think is particularly interesting is when you look at what's going on with HHS and the funding for that HHS is spending now to resettle unaccompanied Central American teens. Daniel Horrow It's over Over a Conservative Review, has written very interesting piece on this. He does very He does excellent work on immigration in general.

I don't know the guy, never met him, but I find his stuff to really be very very insightful, very thoughtful, and what he's written here is that HHS Secretary Asar has made sure that there's going to be, you know, plenty of additional funding for the seventy to eighty children who are taken into custody by by Customs and Border Patrol each day. And there are currently twelve thousand, three hundred and forty Central American children in HHS custody and

they don't have the space for anymore. They're spending one point three billion dollars a year on this program, and the program, the whole resettlement. So this is a program, just so I'm being clear here, for unaccompanied children who show up at the border, we take care of them, We place them with a sponsor family or with sponsors in this country, and then we're supposed to figure out

what is going to happen with them. But all of this is really just another way of smuggling people into the country because they have illegal family members who are in the country, and so what they do is they show up at the border and then they are released into the interior to that family. And so we are paying for the resettlement of illegal alien children to join their alien families inside the United States and the cost of this for the American taxpayers a billion dollars a year,

which is that's real money. I know that people owe a billion here, a billion there for the government. They wouldn't give us a billion dollars to the wall, but we'll spend a billion dollars on illegal alien transfer of illegal alien youth to their illegal families in this country. And the drug cartels are making are making money off of this, thousands of dollars for every person. Seventy two percent of these unaccompanied miners are mail and fifteen to

seventeen years old. These are basically young adults folks, okay, who are showing up at the border. These are seventeen year old dudes who are showing at the border saying, Hey, I need to be reunited with my family now. And that means that they're getting in before they're actually adults. There's a huge incentive because they're going to get sent at taxpayer expense to join their illegal family, illegal alien family or family members. This is this is astonishing. I mean,

we're just we're being taken advantage of. That's what this is. People are are they figured out that America, you know, The political system is very fractured right now over this issue, and nobody wants to be the mean person who turns away refugees or you know, won't let people who are supposed to be you know, people who are fleeing violence

be here. And you know, this is like we started a charity and now instead of people sewing up just for food when they're hungry and they can't get any other food, they're showing up for three meals a day and demanding food. We are being taken advantage of by Central American migrants. That is just a fact right now. And what are we going to do about it? Well, here's what Trump and Pompeio are saying about the next

move Play four. Mexico has been doing a very good job to last three or four day since we talked about closing the border, which is very real. But what's more real initially is tariffs and the cars coming in at twenty five tariff on the cars being made in Mexico coming in, they are they're saying they're going to do it. So we need to see action. And now

we need to make sure they have the capacity. And so we've worked for them to help them for years and years, We've provided lots of resources, not only to Mexico, but to Guatemala, Hondura, Sal Salvador as well, and they have to do it, and if not, the President is going to ensure that we protect our nation. We've given them a year warning, so who knows what's going to happen in a year. We don't have the answer for

this problem yet, folks. We have not yet figured it out, and time is not on our side, but we will stay on it here in the Freedom, that's for sure. The reason where Fablicans hate me so much is because I confront them directly on their moral their lack of moral grounding on so many issues. And not just that, but the reason they're so upset and they act like that girl in the Exorcist. That's like vomiting peace soup.

That's like them and negativity. I'm pretty sure the reason Republicans have a problem with her is that we think she's really stupid and incredibly arrogant. So, yeah, but there's some other stuff I want to address. You're like this notion that millennials have it so badly and that everything is ruined for them. Speaking of negativity, turns out that's actually not true, and her friend David Harsanyi over at The Federalist explains why he's got a piece. Millennials are

the most prosperous generation that has ever lived. Oh and by the way, also the freest, safest, most educated, longest living, and most globally connected. Mister Harsani is with us now, David, Great to have you, my friend, always great to be here. Thanks for having me. First stuff, just what do you make What is your diagnosis of the rise of Ocasio Cortez in American politics? Well, I guess you know. I mean,

there isn't a sort of populist appeal to her. I guess for people who don't really understand what she's talking about in the sense of her socialistic ideas. I think she's a perfect straw man in a way to bash those ideas because she's such a bad such a bad debate Like in that clip you pay It, she said that she confronts Republicans directly. Has she ever debated a conservative about this? I don't. I can't remember her debating

anyone about these ideas. She just tweets stuff out and she thinks that's confronting them and it's sort of I don't want to bash on millennials. It's sort of a you know, a sort of contemporary thing to do, to think that you're actually convincing people by tweeting out something she's never really confronted them in any real way. I feel like no one and this is a little bit of a digression from we're talking about, but dude, I

feel like people don't. There's not really debate anymore anyway, because everyone just wants to connect to the folks that they want to connect to, like their own audience, their own side. I can't remember the last time I saw a really in depth, substantive debate between real heavy hitters on an issue. I feel like it never happens anymore. You know, it's so funny. I was just thinking about

that as well. You know, when I started out many years ago, you know, people would write another column that pointed out things I had said wrong, and we would sort of go back and forth. Even in social media. That would happen to maybe a decade ago. But now it's more like pointing a finger at the other side and saying, look how dumb they are, and then getting, you know, getting a mob of your followers to sort

of mock the other person. You never really see a kind of a debate about an issue in the way that we used to. And why is because I think it's just your incentivized to act like a jerk pretty much on social media. But also maybe we're just so far apart on the issues that there's really not a debate to be had. I think we used to sort of have similar goals and different ideas of how to get there, and now we don't even share the same goal as most often, so I think that maybe that's

the problem. But I don't know, and I'm somebody just like you, David. I for a living now and for going on a decade, it's been writing, thinking, you know, speaking,

doing all these things about different issues. If I sat down with Okazy Cortez on the Green New Deal to try to talk to her about it, I mean, I think that she would look like an idiot, but I think that her side, for example, wouldn't in any way except that because we can't even agree on the basics of saying the world is going to end in twelve years is a crazy person thing to say, right, and you're here heard her talk about morality It's a lot of this is based an emotional response, and you know,

the moral thing to do, and it's never about the outcomes or the cost or a sort of any kind of real economic breakdown on what these things mean. That it's the moral thing to do once you think you have the moral high ground. So this often, I mean, progresses to me. I started out as a sort of full blown libertarian many years ago, and you know, I wasn't crazy about the you know, Bible something, you know,

evangelicals and things like that. To me, they are that now you know, they have a moral they think they have the moral high ground, and they don't really even need to debate you anymore. They just to tell you how moral they are all the time. And that's how she is all the time. Now let's address what she recently tweeted. Got a lot of attention. She tweeted out, people, this is okalaju Ortez. People our age have never experienced American prosperity in our adult lives, which is why so

many millennials are embracing democratic socialism. I'm pretty sure I read that on my iPhone that at full price would cost a thousand dollars. While I was waiting for the order of food that I had placed via an app for an Indian Indian restaurant fifteen blocks away, watching my flat screen forty inch TV, etc. Etc. Et cetera. David, I mean, I'm not about to cry big tears about

how my generation has no prosperity. But this people believe this, Yeah, I mean, And what you just mention is kind of important in a way that I don't know that a young person might understand. You know, when I was a kid, you know, a small a kid in the seventies, Let's say, it's like I had to wait to hear if I wanted to learn something, I had to go and drive or walk or ride my bike to a library, figure

it out, look it up, that sort of thing. And now you have the world that your fingertips literally any piece of literature, art, news, anything is right there. Just as a sort of revolution of information and knowledge. It's just amazing. It's it's maybe the most revolutionary thing that's happened to just on an intellectual level, you know what

I mean. And I don't think people realize that. But just beyond that, AOC has she's experienced once since she has graduated college has only been one quarter of negative growth in our economy. I don't even know what she's talking about. It's just been a humming economy since the last recession we had. And you think that that recession was like the oppression or something. It wasn't. We have recessions all the time. It was the recovery that was

sort of slow. And we can argue about why that happened. But certainly she has not. She's only experienced prosperity in her in you know, as general, in society, in her life. It's often claimed that millennials have lower earning, fewer assets, and less wealth. You right, David. Why is this? Mostly it's because they get to go to college. You know, in my grandfather's day or even my dad's day, a lot of people didn't go to college. Most people, the

vast majority of people didn't go. They went out and got jobs after high school, and they got married after high school, and they started to accumulate assets of some sort. Now millennials get married much later, and they go to college, and they have loans for that college. In the long run, they will have more early on in their lives as young people. They don't have as much if we just you know, add up the numbers, which is a silly

way to look at the world. And also, you know a lot of people, you know, especially in Gen X or older went and got bought houses, you know, out in suburbs and things of that nature. Young people to day they like to live in urban areas that are super expensive and they pay rents. So it's just a different world. And most of those most of the reasons are their own choices, not some societal you know problem.

Isn't it interesting that there's always this tendency in it, particularly in the news business, which I know you've been in for for quite a while, David, longer than I have. There's a tendency to you know, not just not just the most basic. If it bleeds, it leads, and you know people, Yeah, people like stories of death, fear, catastrophe,

all that kind of stuff. But also just in politics, if you want people to pay attention to you, you really have to focus I feel like ninety percent of your energy on how messed up everything is all the time, and the moment you try to say to somebody, look, we got problems, right, like things things are bad, like there are issues with our healthcare system. That that that annoy me, But we also have a pretty amazing healthcare system. Nobody

wants to hear it. I don't know. I feel like this is be or right now that's ever been for anyone ever in the world world, for you right here today. That doesn't mean you specifically or me specifically, just in general, you know, And I think people understand that, and maybe they shouldn't write. I mean, no one cares about that kind of context, I guess, but I've always reminded, just

because you mentioned about the media. Years ago, I was at a newspaper and the gas prices had sort of gone up for whatever reason, and an editor told me I should probably go out to one of the gas staitions, find some you know, old lady or something and talked her about how terrible these gas prices are. And I wrote a column about how gas prices. The popcorn that you buy at the movie theater costs more than the gas that you buy, and you should be happy that

gas is so cheap. And that's the thing go over too well, because it's not the sort of thing people want to hear. They want to hear how they're suffering and how hard it is for them, and those are the things that people click on. Unfortunately, I always remember this, I can't remember the context of it. It there was this lecture or it was a speech. Maybe he's in an interview years ago with Michael Crichton, who I've always liked because his books kind of got me interested in

books when I was a kid. You know, he was the break in the damn for me. You know. I read Your Ass Park, and then Congo and then Sphere and then Rising Sun. I just read all these books one after another, you know. And I was in the fourth or fifth grade, fifth grade, i think. And so I've always found him an interesting guy. And he talked about how you know, and he was a bestselling author, wrote Er, the show that was the number one show

on TV for years and years and years. And he said that he had been through this so many times in life that he knew better than to sort of think about it to get or you know, to try it again. But he said, if you go to a cocktail party. This is one of these cocktail party things, But if you go to cocktail party and you tell people just a story of how how scary and terrible things are, people can't people all want to hear. I mean, they just crowd around you and they want, well, really

that's going to happen, that's you know ooh. He says, if you go to a cocktail party, in your approach to life is that things are actually pretty good and things are getting better. And he says, not only do people not want to hear it, they get angry at you because you don't understand how bad it is. Yeah, when I write how great things are now, if I every quantifiable measure possible, we prove that things are better,

are less poverty, everything, they get mad at you. They send you mail, They're mad, They're mad that you're not because I think they feel like maybe you're not taking the problem seriously or dismissing it, which I don't think you should do either. I'm not dismissing that there are poor people and we shouldn't help them. I'm just telling you there are few poor people in the world now

than ever, and that a lot of good things are happening. Look, I talk, I mean, you know, one of the one of the things that that is true about other news or analysis is that I talk about the problems that are out there because I want to address them, fix them, and also people, you know, we don't need to spend a lot of time inherently on what it's going great, because it's going great. So I do think that there's

a natural bias toward covering issues that are problematic. But I just also think it's funny that AOC is so mindless that she's just like, we've never experienced prosperity, and that's a that's a patently stupid thing to say. She just tweeted something today, I forget it. Specifically, she had like four points. Each of them was completely made up. You know. Another point she once made that made me laugh was that people are dying. She was, I think

you're sort of yelling this in Congress. People are dying from the weather all over the world. Meanwhile, over the last one hundred years, extreme weather related debts have plummeted, plummeted. People don't understand how often, you know, Americans and others would die because of the heat or the cold, you know, and they don't anymore. I don't think they understand. They think that every weather event is that's the first time this has ever had, you know, hurricanes, it's the first

time we've had this sort of weather. It's just nonsensical. And we've only been measuring these things for maybe one hundred years is four billion years old. It's just funny. So guys, if you're ever having a down day, just email Harsani and he'll explain to you how everything's actually pretty good. So there you go. The piece is Millennials, the most prosperous generation that's ever lived, and basically the

world is pretty good, folks, it's all gonna be. Okay, that's your Friday, your Friday positivity dump, mister David Harsani. Always your pleasure, sir, have a great weekend, you too, anytime, team, we'll be right back. What I think is that we are committed to policies that make make American lives better. And um, we're actually talking about something substantive. We're not

calling anyone names. People say tea Party of the Left, and I find this phrase very interesting, this phrasing very interesting because the grounding of the Tea Party was xenophobia, the underpinnings of white supremacy. Okay, right there, we got we gotta stop AOC right there, we gotta stop. This is what we're up against, folks. We're just about improving people's lives, and like, we don't call people names, unlike those stupid white supremacist xenophobe people. She's such an idiot,

I don't I mean Democrats should be ashamed. I mean they're not ashamed. They should be ashamed though, because she is an absolute buffoon, and she is the most powerful this this twenty nine year old no nothing, is the most powerful Democrat politician in terms of messaging and media coverage in the country right now. She can get more attention with one tweet or one statement, one you know, green new deal released from her office than any single

presidential contender right now on the Democrat side. She has a complete lack of self awareness, a complete lack of the understanding of her limitations, and isn't isn't gracious at all. And I think that that's you know, you see this on the left is that they're little radicals and they

don't have humility. They don't have an understanding of why other people feel the way they do and why maybe there's a need to at least show, even if you disagree strong with the other side, showing some respect to their ideas. You know, she's a person who's coming along. And the ideas that she's promoting, never mind, are stupid and not feasible, but they're new, and the ideas that

she wants to supplant are trying and true. When we're talking about things like capitalism, we're talking about you know, contracts and rule of law, and these are these have been around for a long time for a good reason. And I'm not saying that they shouldn't get that you can't debate them or they can't be adjusted. But she doesn't even understand why it is that there are people who want to conserve what is good and functions well

in our society. She just thinks it's all racism, xenophobia, you know, white male privilege, all that kind of stuff. Uc Oh, she said this too, Play seven what. I'm twenty nine, I'm the youngest woman to ever be elected United States Congress. I have plenty of time to learn, and I'm not afraid to make mistakes and iterate in public either. And frankly, if the mistakes that I'm making are just a one off, like rhetorical thing, you correct it,

acknowledge it, and move on. At least I'm not trying to cage children the border and inject them with drugs. That's not a mistake. That is a deliberate policy. To attack people based on their national origin, that's not a mistake. That's just hatred, that's just cruelty. That's just wrong. This is what we're up against. I don't know if she really believes that, but I think she does believe all

the crazy stuff that she said there. I think she does believe that the policy of separating families at the border because what they're doing is illegal, and that's what you do when people break the law. You know, if mom is driving home drunk and has the kids in the backseat, you know what happens. Mom and the kids

get separated. That is the law for everybody else. But if you don't really believe that crossing into the country is illegal just because you say so, well then there's no justification for separating these families, of course, and that is the position that she takes. But to suggest that it comes out of sadism and cruelty and because of national origin, that's just it's a smear. But this is

what she does and she is. But that whole thing about how she's going to iterate in public, I have not heard her in any way stepped back from some of the stupid stuff she said, correct it. And we should all be troubled that somebody who is so ignorant and so incapable of formulating any kind of coherent policy on anything is is ascending in this way in this country. And I really I think that. On the one hand, I do mock her because she's deserving of mockery, but

she's also a dangerous harbinger. I think of the leftism to come, especially if we hit some rocky times in the economy, which I believe are not far away at all. Even if I knew for certain that I was going to run for president back in Thanksgiving, my intention in the beginning, if run, would be the last person to announce hi uh, and so everyone else through day, and then I get a shot and then off to the races.

I would find it a fascinating exercise to just ask people that, because all the polls show that was Biden, of course, and all the polls show him at the top of the Democrat pack, and there's now eighteen, maybe nineteen people who have said they're running for president, even Eric Swalwell. I mean, if Eric Swalwell is gonna run

for president on the Democrat ticket. I might as well run. Yeah, maybe I'll maybe I'll just just for giggles, why not, I'll just change my party affiliation and just run as a Democrat. It'd be so fun. And he's being hey me, and I'm still wokeing like whatever that you can just take all your all your waite privilege and your social injustice, seeing like, why don't we just redistribute the wealth? Me? And and you know I could. I could be a great I'd be a great fake Lib. I could do it.

I should probably create a fake Lib character. I could have mock debates with here on the show. Um you know who just use all these all this made up terminology. And you know I would. I would insist because I identify as as you know, Vigo the space Lord Ninja Master. That that's what everyone have to call me, because that's how I identify man as Vigo the Space Lord Ninja Master. But you know this is this is a moment where when you look at the Democrat field, you see one there.

It's just a lot of people that are it's bizarre that they would ever think that they could win. But why why would anyone vote for Biden? I really mean this, What is the appeal of this guy? I've never seen it. I understand why people would vote if you're a Democrat, If if I'm putting on my woke hat and pretending to be a leftist for a moment, I get why people would from that perspective vote for some of these individuals.

I even understand why they'd vote for Betto because like he's always wearing a blue shirt and he just wants the whole country to come together and embrace, and he'll be the vessel for that embrace. I understand these things. Biden to me, I've said it from the gut. He's such a mediocrity. And then he's obviously got this weird, handsy creep master thing going on here play fifteen, and I hope I wasn't taken that way, but there was. You know, I literally thinking is in combing them on me?

I think everybody else to make sure that if you embrace someone, if you touch someone, it's with their consent, regardless of your intentions, even if you're trying to bring solace, you've been trying to welcome them, and it's it's my responsibility to do that. Okay, maybe we can move on. But I've been saying it all along. It's not conservatives that are quote pouncing here. It's not conservatives that are

saying Biden's the old creepster weirdo. I mean, we're having some fun with him, being like he's kind of a creepy weirdo. But this is really a civil war you're seeing this. This is a they're using Biden as a proxy for power within the Democrat Party because Biden's very much a part of the old establishment. Just because he connected himself to Obama, just because he's attached to Obama as his vice president, doesn't mean that he is of the Obama wing of the Democrat Party. Really, he's not

a progressive. He's an old school Pelosi Clinton Democrat political machine operative. That's what he is. And there, I think is, you know, you're you're seeing some of this happening here, and there are people that want to establish themselves as on the more woke side of this, including people that used to be you know, ready for her, on the Hillary side of things. They want to they see where this party, the Democrat Party's trending, they want to be

in good with the with the hard left. Here's I've never heard of this person before, but Jess McIntosh, who was a senior advisor for Hillary Clinton. Although I feel like everyone's a senior advisor. R is anyone a junior advisor? Is a an every appear on TV. I was a junior advisor. I was like, you know, seventh man on the ape Man Deal team. But I'm here, I'm gonna talk about everyone's a senior advisor. Here's what Hillary advisor Jess McIntosh had to say about Biden in his apology

at Play seventeen. Yeah. I mean I think he's he's got to take responsibility. I think that's what women are waiting to hear him do that. This excuse that that societal norms have changed just doesn't wash. I mean that that sort of paternal behavior towards women in a professional setting has been making women feel uncomfortable for generations. The only societal norm that has changed is that men seem to be taking us seriously when we complain about it now.

So the idea that this behavior used to be okay and now it's not just really doesn't wash. I see an interesting nuance here, which is that she's claiming that now women are taken seriously in the context of the Biden discussion when they complain. But you'll note that women didn't complain before about Biden. I have not seen and I could be wrong here, but I have not seen a woman who come forward who claimed that she tried

to make a big issue of this. I mean, maybe she told some people and he's a creepy weirdo, but but you know, this was not I've never seen. I never saw a story about this during the Obama years. Nobody went to a journalist. Nobody wanted in the social media era where there are all these people that they

kept it quiet. They kept it very, very quiet. You've seen this with immediate time and again that they you know, this is just another version of Oh, I'm I'm in the press corps, I'm a photographer, and Obama is shaking hands with um yeah, with with with Lewis Farrakhan, and I don't want anybody to see that. So I'm just gonna hide that photos, just gonna hide that. You know. That's which you know, did happen in during the two thousand and eighty thousand and nine election. That's a problem.

I mean This is why they're not purveyors of truth. There are people that are activists that are trying to push a certain narrative, and they suppressed Biden's creepiness because he was useful. He was part of the team. The thing with Democrats is that if you're on their team, there is no you know, if you're useful to them more so than on their team, even there is no principle that they will hold sacred. There's nothing they're unwilling

to violate or do to protect you. But the moment you're not useful to them, they're not big on they're not big on loyalty. You know, if you stand in the way, all of a sudden, you find yourself in a whole bunch of trouble. But you know, these the woman who came forward, the first one, Flora's, she says that it was a political calculation, and I'm at least find it, I find it refreshing that she had the honesty to say that. But that's what she said. It

was a political calculation to do this. And yeah, you don't say you don't say it, sure it sure as heck was. So I don't think that Biden is going to be the This is just my take on it, But I don't think that Biden is going to be the nominee. I really don't see it happening. For the Democrats, they just they're they're gone so far left that they are unable to have this old, kind of croniest, corporatist, boring white dude Joe Biden as their next candidate. They're

just not going to do it. So very few, very few of you, I think, will care about this, but I find it of note the White House Correspondence dinner, which I will I will not attend. I will not go to. I don't care what year, I don't care what's Nope, it's a clown show and not in a fun way. Uh. This is what Trump said about the the correspondence dinner here in DC play eleven. Are you going to find that you're gonna hold a rally? I'm

gonna hold a rally. Yeah, because the dinner is so faring and so negative that we're gonna hold a very positive rally. And so we haven't determined. We have about three sights. Everybody wants it, it'll be a big one. But the correspondent sinner is too negative. I like positive things today. I gotta say that whenever I'm having a day where I say, oh, man, Trump, you know, the agenda is stalled, and there are parts of what's going

on that really do frustrate me. I just have to remind myself that Trump's ability to goad and poke at and agitate the media is just amazing. I mean, Trump really reminds me of you know that scene in die Hard where Holly John McClain played by of course, Bruce Willis.

John McClain's wife sees the weird Swedish guy who loses his brother in the movie, and he comes in where the hostage is being held and he he smashes a bunch of things and she and the wife smiles, so she goes, only John could drive someone that crazy, you know about about Bruce Willis's character. That's how I feel about Trump with the media all the time. I mean, he's amazing. I know Trump is still in the fight. I know it's okay because only Trump can drive the

media so completely insane. Exactly. They're so used to being able to shut everybody else down, terrify them into silence, you know, induce them to abandon their principles and sell out and Trump just he just keep crushing him and I do love him for it. Folks, It's Friday, which means that we'd like to mix it up here, like to keep everybody on their toes. And you're gonna have to be up on your very tippy toes to keep up with our next guest because he's seven foot nine.

That's right, it is Jesse Kelly, the gigantic text in himself. He is joining us to talk about all the things good on this week. He is, in case you to know, a radio host in his own right down in Houston on kp RC. And my understanding, Jesse, is that you earn a new time slot that is right starting Monday, not tonight. Starting Monday. They obviously recognize my immense talent and I am being moved to primetime drivetime five to seven down here. So here you go KPRC Houston, you

can check out my men. Jesse Kelly. All right, Jesse, let's get to some of the latest year. First of all, what is your I haven't even seen this yet, so I'm gonna make sure that John has his hand on the drop butt in case things get crazy. But what is your take on creepy Joe Biden, the hair sniffing, the shoulder massaging. You know, I'm like, how do I get some of that? I got ten shoulders? Well, what's

going on? What do you think about all this? You know, to be honest, when it first started and I saw all the picture collages and things like that, I kind of cringed a little. But then I thought, you know, I know old people like that, especially generationally. I know people of that generation. They're really just they're they're just handsy people. That's this. They were brought up that way.

That's how they are. And I don't like one thing I really don't like, and I don't like gossip, and I don't like making accusations of pervert to people and stuff like. I think that's I think that can get pretty ugly. So that's where I was. And then I saw a video, not pictures, video compilation of all the c SPAN videos of him swearing in congressmen and their family and he's there with their wives and their young

daughters lots of the time, and it made my skin crawl. Dude, that that is more than just a man who likes to have his hands on people. There would be little girls, you know, almost trying to pull them away, and he like holds them back. Then he's nuzzling into their ears and hands wrapped not just on the shoulders, around the fronts. We're getting really close to inappropriate. Dude, something I haven't seen that video. This is this is even creepier than

I realized it was. I'm not kidding, man. I was completely on the I'll just let him go. He's kind of a hand the old man train. And then I saw videotape, not still pictures which people can do things with, videotape from c SPAN and it was a compilation and it was the creepiest thinking thing I have ever seen.

Like I thought, boy, that that's a predator. Now, why why is it Wow going pulling out the P word for for old Man Biden on this one, because because Jesse, you know, one part of this that I think people want to just skip right past, and they really can't, or they shouldn't be able to, is that this stuff was going on in truly and literally full view of the press for eight years of the Obama administration. And you'll notice that Obama, both Barack and Michelle very quiet

on this one very quiet. But I have heard and this is just the rumor. But I've heard this now from two different sources of mine that say these Biden rumors are coming from the Obama camp, that that's why they're getting so much traction, and they're getting put in the media so much that only Obama's people hold the power to plant a story in that many different media sources. How about, it's definitely coming from a left. I mean, this is Democrat on Democrat warfare. This is not conservatives

that made this thing a story. No, it's not. I'd heard the Biden people were convinced it was Bernie Sanders. But I heard twice today from people who, in my opinion, would know that they think almost they're almost positive this is coming from Obama. Joe Biden does not have Obama's backing. Obama has not said a word. If Joe Biden had Barack Obama's backing, that would have been what he'd lead with as he gets into this race. But he hasn't said a word. I think Obama's learning with Beto. Actually,

I also didn't get a chance to discuss you. Earlier in the week was Equal pay Day, and I thought it was so funny. I saw this story. I think it was from I don't know, Time magazine or something, oh something like fifty percent of men think that equal payday is not a real problem. And I responded to do it. Well, that's because it's not a real problem. But why does this persist? Jesse kellyo, And what do people need to know about equal pay day that we

already have it? For one, that's already the law. There's not like some new law. You don't reassert something that's already the law. It's already the law that you're paid equal for equal work in this country. And if you break down the economics of it, it's already in effect, meaning people women are making the same amount as men who are working the same jobs in the same areas. It's just the fact. So it's all this is. It's like every other movement, but it's like the civil rights

movement has become it's like the meat too movement. Any movement that starts out for good reasons eventually turns into a gigantic scam and a grift for power and money. Oh, you mean like the Southern Poverty Law Center where they're sexually harassing people paying themselves huge salaries and just trying to smear conservatives on the weekends pretty much. I mean, that's oh yeah, oh yeah. And you know what, I don't even want to act like this is just isolated

and left. I'm not naming any names, but there are plenty of groups on the right that started out for good reasons or people that contribute to them for good reasons, and all of a sudden, five years later, it's a five oh one C three and the CEO makes a million bucks a year off of Grandma's sending in their social Security check. Tell me a bit about why Kevin Costner is the biggest and the best actor in would you say like alive or all time? I mean, you're

you're like Kevin Costner super fan? And why is Kevin Costner on your radar? Of all time? Absolutely? Of all time? I watched that movie The Highwayman that's on Netflix. It's about the Texas. I was gonna watch that this weekend. We didn't even coordinate this. That was that's actually my social life for the weekend is watching The Highwamen. Are you telling me it's good? It's outstanding, gritty and outstanding and accurate, And I mean scarily accurate. I actually know

the Body and Clyde story really well. But beyond that, name an actor who is in more great movies. Thank Kevin Costner. Think about Kevin Costner's resume, because people sneer when you're saying it's the greatest of all time. In my opinion, no one can touch it. Maybe Denzel maybe Leonardo DiCaprio. Think about the movies Kevin cost has been in, Field of Dreams, Bull Durham, Team Tups, Robin Hood, Princess Thieves.

It's a long, long, long list, A long list for the love of the game, a perfect World, the guys that got a lot of them in a lot of hits, Dances with the wool, who has more? Jesse Kelly. If I don't bring up water World though people at people gonna say that I'm going soft on you here, No, that's there, but here hear me out. Water World is not a bad movie. We washed water World. You've seen water World? You maybe have seen it twice? I know, hi, I have. I have seen it a few I've seen

it a few times. Actually, am I gonna lie? I enjoy it? It failed to meet expectations, but that doesn't mean it's a bad movie and we can't judge it a greatness of an actor on their stink bombs. Everyone points out Costner's water World. Look at any other actor you think belongs on that list above Costner and go to their well. I think I think that you're taking a bold stance here, Jesse Kelly. Everybody you should listen

to my man Jesse Kelly on KPRC Houston. Follow him also on Twitter at Jesse Kelly The Literally Jesse Kelly. Thank you so much for I'm Matt. Have a great weekend and appreciate you joining us here in the Freedom Hunt. Be good brother. No party like a Team Buck party, because a Team Buck party don't stop. Yeah, we got

Bucks turned up to eleven. It's time for roll call. Indeed, it is Friday, so we'll do a double dose, double dose double trouble of the roll call, bubble, boil and trouble whatever it is from the I know I was supposed to be kind of a Macbeth reference, and some of you know that play much better than me. Let's get to it's Steven Hey. Buck started listening to your show just weeks ago. Honestly, water beds aren't all that great. Maybe it's just me, but I don't like the feeling

of sleeping on top of water. By the way. Shields high shields out of you, Stephen. I believe you. On the waterbeds, man, I just have always I've always been kind of curious. I have never experienced waterbed for myself. I do not think that it's something that I would be particularly into. I was just telling the story today to some colleagues about the trip I went on when I was in grammar school and we went I went to a Catholic school in New York, and we're on

our eighth grade trip. We went on this this whale watching trip, and you know, we figured, oh, it's gonna be amazing because you see all these Nature Channel shows about whale watching, right, and you're just like, oh, look at the magnificent spam whale breaching the surface, you know, and you see humpback whales leaping out of the ocean and all all kinds of stuff like that, Right, you think that that's that's not what whale watching usually is.

Like those of you don't know, Usually you're on a boat, which already in the ocean is not freshwater boats. I'm cool I like. I like the water when it is freshwater, so rivers, lakes. I'm into all that ocean. If I am within site of land, I'm good. The moment i am not within sight of land, I am not a fan. Right, So you see these nature documentaries, you think you're going

to see these incredible breaches. Turns out humpback whales. Seeing them breach is actually very rare for most, like I mean not if you're studying them, but for people that go out to just see them, you tend not to get that lucky. And what you see is kind of a It looks like like like a couple of trash bags in the distance, like float to the surface for a second and float down. Everyone goes, oh my gosh, there it's a well. And and so that that part

of it was disappointing. I don't think we I actually don't think we saw any whales. So there was that. But beyond that, and then then what they do on whale watching boats. And it was the fall, and it was up in New England and it was freezing. You know, I could have used a cup of chouda because it was very cold. And then they give you they give you like fishing poles, as if that's gonna make it

make it all better. You're not seeing whales, but maybe you're gonna like catch some scud off the side of the boat. And then people started getting seasick. And I gotta tell you that I was not the sickest, but I was getting there and being on a boat with forty thirteen year olds or fourteen year olds, half of whom are tossing their cookies. It was like a nightmare that I will never forget. And I can't believe that

our teachers managed to make it through it. So I am not a I'm a landlubber, is what I'm trying to say. I'm a land lubber. I wear boat shoes. It is an appropriation of nautical culture. I do not, in fact, enjoy the open ocean. I'm just saying, yeah, that's right. If it came down a navy or air force, I'd probably go air force, just because I'm okay with planes and not being on boats. Jim Rights, Hey, Buck, we met at SPAK. Let me know if you need an assistant when you travel to China. I was in

Hong Kong a little while ago. My passport is up to date. Seriously, man, let me know. Well, Jim, thank you very much. We'll see if the Chinese consulate will approve my travel. It turns out that this can be a complicated matter when you are google able and XCIA and nationally syndicated radio and TV personality is what comes up on the interwebs. So fingers crossed that this all actually goes through. It's been a little complicated, Carlole Rights.

I was watching Tucker last night and he commented that perhaps some of the decisions Trump is making may mean he doesn't want to win the next election. While I would not blame him after these last few years, what do you think and do you think Schultz running would hurt the Republicans of the Democrats more? Love the show Shields High, Carla. I really mean this, and I know that it's a kind of alternate universe analysis. I would never run for president. I would never run for public office.

I just don't have the mentality and the stomach for it. I would not want to be president, although I would be a badass president, we all know that. But I would not want to be president. I'd rather have the freedom that I do in my life. I mean, I didn't even like being a government bureaucrat. I can't imagine being in charge of the government. I know there's some

huge benefits leader of the free world mark on history. Obviously, afterwards you write a book or rather someone else writes it free, and you make millions of millions of dollars. But it's also very confining, and you have all these people that hate you, and you're going through all this stress. If you look at George W. Bush, I mean he aged at triple speed over the course of his presidency.

I mean he went into the presidency a guy who could probably bench two fifty and six minute miles, and by the end of it, I mean he was an old guy. I mean he was he was beaten down. So I don't I don't know. I couldn't pretend to tell you what Trump's mentality is when it comes to whether he would run again or not. You know, I

can't tell you that exactly, I think. I mean, people said originally that he didn't want to win the election, and I just find that, I mean, that's an interesting theory, and we've never really gotten confirmation one way or the other, except for the fact that he managed to run so effectively that he did win, which I think would be

kind of hard. So yeah. And then as for Schultz running hurting the Republicans, I think it would definitely hurt the Democrats more because what this election, based on all the data, all the polling and everything we have so far and also previous elections, what it's going to come down to our white working class voters in the states that I always talk about, you know, Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Florida, Wisconsin, maybe Nevada. I mean, these are the states that are

really in play in a meaningful way. And I think in those places, if you have, say a Bernie Sanders or a Joe Biden candidate, which right now those are the top two for the Democrats, there would be a fair amount of flight from Bernie Sanders to Schultz. Biden maybe not so much, but I think there are people who just instinctually understand that a democratic socialist running for president United States is not something that would be good, That this would be problematic in many ways, so or

winning at least would not be good. And what else did you ask? I think that's it? Oh, yeah, you asked if I think Trump wants to lose No. I think Trump never wants to lose. I mean, that's not really in his nature to want to throw the match. He's a very competitive guy. But I'm sure this wears. This wears on him. I mean I think that you know, he's a guy who likes being prominent, and he's going to be super famous and prominent even when he stops

being president. He's still going to have his Twitter account with sixty or eighty or whatever it is million followers. So he's still going to be able to do a lot of what he does right now if he wants to. He just won't be the leader of the free world. Oh. Next, next up here we have this is from Steve. Someone in the Trump administration needs to confirm that Supreme Court Justice Ginsburg is still alive and working. I don't trust the pictures and videos. Get fingerprints and blood tests to

prove the person's not an impostor. Um. Let's see start the approval process if it's not her, for the next constitutional conservative justice asap, because the anti Americans will delay and obstruct the process at every turn. Steve, I don't I do think that it is Justice Ginsburg. I don't know if you're messing with me or not. But it's Justice Ginsburg. They're not. This is not like the movie, Dave. They did not find a person who looks exactly like

Justice Ginsburg to replace her. And I know I think you're kidding, although I can entirely tell from your your message here, so we'll see. But it is Justice Ginsburg and the bizarro cult around RBG that the Democrats have created. It just goes to show you that they can do that for anyone. The media has enough narrative power and left wing cohesiveness still that there's nothing that you know that they can convince people, at least some people of

anything that they choose to. So there you have it. They can convince people that RBG is some kind of a hero team. I'm gonna go into a just a brief breather here, Where to come back? When to finish strong on some more roll call like soft butter on warm toast. Time to spread some freedom coast to coast.

It's time for roll call faksbook dot com, slash buck Sexton And remember all I want for Christmas, even though it's April, is for you to tell one of your friends, colleagues, fellow patriots, random dude that you're standing behind in line at CBS. When that person's like, but I can't get cash back, No, you can't get cash back. But what about me getting cash back? Nope, can't get cash back.

Tell that person or any person to listen to the Buck Sexton Show to download it on iTunes, or to listen live on the iHeart Radio app, or however you listen to podcasts. Because the podcast of the show is the bomba dot Com. Scott writes, Buck, You're always recommending books that sound something I want to read, but I'm also always driving when I listen to you. Is there anywhere I can go to see a list of the

books you recommended? Scott, You're one of many folks that have asked this, and the answer I have to give you is no. I do not have yet a place where I keep all of the recommendations of books that I make on this show, because it just kind of

comes to me. Sometimes I tell people read this book, or read that book, or you know, I'm right now in the process of really figuring out what my next I usually line up three books at a time, and I try to get through all three before I line up another three that tends to be my way, and I'm kind of you know, I I have a problem too, where I refuse to abandon a book even when I should, right, even when it's clear that a certain book is not getting it done. I'm I'm gonna just plow through it.

You know. Recently I tried to get I'm just gonna tell you I tried to get through Treasure Island because I find I never was a find it in school, and Robert Louis Stevenson, between Treasure Island and Doctor Jacqueline mister Hyde as two great classics of literature. I think Robert Lewis Stevenson's writing is kind of kind of whack. I mean, the story, the stories are really cool, but it's it's kind of a slog to get through it. It's not but I had to finish it, so I did.

But that's what I mean. I just I won't stop. And I did see someone pointing out today that Buddha judge and I can someone just can we get an official ruling on the guy's friggin name. I've heard Buddha Jedge, Buddha judge, budge whatever. Can we just get someone to explain how to say that guy's name, but I saw that he said that he liked James Joyce Ulysses and

that's what That is. One of the all time classic books that people will say that they like, that they think they should like, but have not really read, and even if they've read it, they don't like it. But it's just personal branding. Oh I love you know, I love James Joyce. Another one is that I come across is The Power Broker. It's a biography of Robert Moses written by Caro and it is dense. I mean, it's very good, but people are always like, oh, I love

The Power Broker. I'm like, really, you get all you get all the way through it? Yeah, Ulysses by James Joyce. I mean there are some others too. You could send me your thoughts on this one on Facebook. What are the books that people pretend to have read and everyone kind of knows that they haven't read it, but everyone else wants to pretend that they've read it too. It is they're like, yeah, yeah, yeah, sure, that sounds like a book that I'm really into. I mean, oh, oh,

here's a great one. This is a straight up bookshelf only book. Adam Smith The Wealth of Nations. Nobody has read that book. Okay. If you see that book in someone's home, they're like, I'm gonna have an Adam Smith book on my bookshelf. It's it's literature signaling, folks. That's what it is, all right. You see, I got fired up about this. Ah William right, something long. Oh this is important. Don't read on air, okay, William, I will not read it on air. I'll read it to myself afterwards.

Roberts writes, what about Betto's white privilege where he got off on multiple times when he got out of charges against him. That's what it would be called by anyone else or for anyone else, Robert, very interesting dynamic that is playing out in this Democrat primary is how the kind of push against whiteness and white privilege on the left for the next president is is very very apparent to me. You know, this is considered a knock on someone if if they're white, and you think about Buddha

Jedge and Bernie Sanders. Look, I don't care. I don't care what someone's sexual orientation is, what their skin color is, what they're really is. I would just like a competent person with a vision that is compatible with the future that I see for this country to be in a position of government power. That's it. You know, I don't care. The optics of the individual do not matter to me, but of course on the left, I think it's the most important thing about it. Candidate. I think that the

leftists believe that those superficial characteristics are critical. But in the case of Bernie Sanders and Buddha Judge, Bernie Sanders would be the first Jewish president in the country's history. Buddha Judge would be the first gay president, in openly gay president in the country's history. And that doesn't counter as diversity in this conversation because they're white, And I think that's very it's very interesting window into the mindset

of the left right now. It seems it strikes me, as you know, what are we supposed to take away from that? David next up here, Buckman, which is technically my name shields high like everyone else. The Smolette dismissal shocked me to the soul. But I have a theory to throw your way for discussion. Smolette's lawyer was named as a co conspirator in the Avanati extortion case. Did Jesse Smolette roll over on his own lawyer in a

bigger case. That's the only explanation that makes sense. No, David, I maybe I can't tell you you're wrong, but I can tell you that no, Jesse Smolette is a protected a protected connected minority in Chicago, and that means that he got a different kind of justice, which is injustice, but great for him, bad for the system, and bad for the rest of us to watch it play out. Team, I now can send you off onto the rest of your weekend with nothing but blue skies and happy days ahead.

At least that's what I'm hoping for you. I'll be talking to you Monday and every day next week, same time, same place, shield Hie
