Damning Memo

nine hundred Buck. That's eight four four nine hundred to eight to five the future of talk radio Buck Sexton. I think it's terrible. You want another truth. I think it's a disgrace what's going on in this country. I think it's a disgrace. The memo was sent to Congress, who was declassified. Congress will do whatever they're going to do. But I think it's a disgrace what's happening in our country.

And when you look at that, and you see that and so many other things, what's going on, a lot of people should be ashamed of themselves and much worse than that. So I sent it over to Congress, and they will do what they're going to do. Whatever they do is fine, it was declassified and let's see what happens. But a lot of people should be ashamed. Thank you very much. Welcome to the Buck Sexton Show. Everybody. The

memo is out. It has been released. Democrats are either scurrying for the exits or delusional about the implications of this whole thing. I would just know that yesterday I made some predictions. I wanted to just revisit that before we dive into the details here. Number one with the Fusion GPS dossier affirmed. Number two other unspecified things also part of the five's activity. Number three. Democrats will argue this a tiny part of the overall picture. Four d

O J top level will look bad. Five And this is the annoying part everyone. But I'm just gonna tell you the Russia conspiracy theory lives on Boom Gonna Go Away based on this memo. Boom one, two, three, four, five, all of them nailed. I'm just I'm just saying I didn't read the memo, but I knew it was in the memo. You know what I'm saying. I do want, I don't, I know when I don't. So there you have it. That is, in fact a pretty good rundown

that was from yesterday. The memo came out today. That's a pretty good rundown of what in fact we know today. I want to dive into the details with you on all this, but let me first just get into how it was. It was such a sad day over at CNN at some of these places. Oh gosh, they're so upset, like, are we even gonna be a democracy? Are we gonna be okay? The fascism is just you being all over

the place. What are we gonna do? Uh? And I believe it is done purposely to discredit, as has been reported, law enforcement. This memo is a Dutch This is a way for the for the President Dana to discredit the Muller investigators. That this is very partisan, cherry picked and is in fact undermining UH longstanding, decades, long standing rules

of oversight. Of the dramatization of this memo, it does go back to the Joe McCarthy period of a sense of getting something, calling it a document perhaps written with the help of the White House. Not a single one of those people, those are all journalists. Not a single one of them knows a damn thing about FISA intelligence anything that they don't even know how a simple warrant

works in the criminal justice system. It's just they just know what they're supposed to say, and that's what they're saying. But I have to know that this this is quite a change, isn't it. In fact, one of the most instructive. And like I said, I'll get into some of the

details and will we'll jump into this together. I, somebody who used to have a clearance and work in the intelligence community, have a little bit of a of a leg up on the topic compared to a lot of the commentators out there because I've worked in this world. I know what FISA is and I can tell you what's going on. But the the favorite part of the of today for me, and this is what I've been saying for some days now, including here on this show and other shows where I've been appearing to set this

one up. And I will note that it was kind of fun that all my predictions were correct, but not that they were that outlandish. I'm just saying it's nice to be right five times and one thing, but the don't I'll be I'll be humbled on Monday when I make a stock market prediction or something. Then I'll really I'll remember that. You know, don't don't ever get too big for your bridges their sex. And I'm a long

way from that guy's I promised. But the the the best thing about today is seeing one people saying stuff like it's a dud. It doesn't really mean anything. There's nothing in this that is important for us to get into. And too, this is the other great one, and I was, I was certain about this all along. Anyone who who had seen this memo. So that's Adam Schiff, the youth sham wile salesman, and all of the other Democrats standing around with him. Uh, the people in the FBI who

had seen it and complained. Anyone who said that this was going to harm national security and had sources and methods concerns is a liar or an idiot, full stop. They are a liar an idiot. They were they were just playing games. There was nothing. There is no basis in this four page memo, which I've I've probably read through ten or fifteen times today, right, there is no basis for national security concern. Nobody will be harmed because of this memo. Nobody is in jeopardy because of this memo.

And US national security is not in danger because of this memo? So what was all How could they get it so wrong? Everyone? How could they be making that claim? And I just have to know the whiplash that we all have. A few days ago it was, oh my gosh, if the memo comes out and all the Russians will win, the Chinese will invade, We're gonna get nuked. And then today it's a you know, it's a nothing burger. What

how do we go from one to the other. It's because the arguments against this, as I was telling you, we're so disingenuous. They're not made in good faith. They're not arguments that the people making them believe are true or probably even feel good about. But they think that it's for a purpose. And the purpose was any do anything you can to soften the blow, do anything you can to undermine the truth, and for the Democrats, for the left, and for the deep state apparatus, which we

got quite a window into here, my friends. It is real. It is a cabal. It's small in terms of the number, but it is powerful in terms of the influence at the d o J and the FBI. So here we are with additional information about this um. There was some uh or some great reporting on this today from folks over at Fox, and our friend Sarah Carter also has been breaking stories all along on this issue. I want to jump into the specifics of this with you for just a moment, if I, if I, or for a

few moments. I think it's worth taking some time on this. So what did we find out? What really matters here? Here's what happened the shorthand version, and then I'll get

the details. You had a an opposition research document paid for by the Hillary Clinton d n C during a presidential election year that relied on a foreigner, yes Brits or foreigners, a foreigner speaking to or getting information from other foreigners, in this case the Russians, and then relying on that unverified information from the Russians from a foreigner taken to the FBI, and then the FBI uses that information to do an end run on the Fourth Amendment

rights about search and seizure for a US citizen and repeat that error four times over and even site. As we find out today in the memo, a news item, a press or a piece in the press from Yahoo News that also relied on the British foreign source who was relying on Russian foreign sources for his information. This is very, very disturbing. There is no way around this.

I think it's faster to see people say, oh, well, you know, it's it's only a part, it's only a part of the overall picture of the fives a warm Well, let's just get this out there right away everyone, if it is one component of it. My first objection to that line of reasoning is if you have a strong case two, this is spying. Okay, this is spying. This is not. Remember if it were, if he were reasonably in or if it was a reasonable possibility that he

was engaged in criminal activity. If they had a probable cause, FBI could have tap this guy's phones or his emails or whatever it is. They didn't have that. Counterintelligence investigations operated in a much broader area of well, we just

need this information for national security reasons. So you better be damn sure whatever it is that bringing you to that conclusion is at least based on sound information, right because the FBI, as I see it right now, would be subject to you aren't even walking and I could walk in and say, yeah, you know, I know this guy named ab Duel. I think he's friends with Osama bin Lad and maybe you guys should just, you know, put out a fies on him. And that is that enough? No,

of course, not right. That would be laughable. They'd have to use their discretion that they couldn't just if I'm talking, you know, if my imaginary friend here as a US citizen, they can't just light him up, track them, rack him and snack him with whatever intelligence apparatus equipment that they can. I mean, that's crazy, but that seems to be what

happened here with Carter Page. I would also not that Carter Page has not even been accused of any crime still to this day, not none, leaked, nothing, there is nothing. New York Times n a story a while I go saying the Russians, Russian intelligence tried to recruit him. I mean, that's also known as being a businessman who's in Russia. By the way, that's not uncommon. The Russians try to recruit all kinds of people who go over there. At the Times wants to make it seem like there's a scheme.

Carter was trying to run his own little foreign policy portfolio, making connections, but there's nothing illegal or wrong with that. But the pies A court. Back to my initial problem here, if the Phisi court wasn't just relying on the dossier, if the fis A court was not relying on the dossier, then I want to know what's the other information? What else is there released that information? This is where the Democrats are gonna stall install and we're gonna have the

same argument. Oh, its sources and method, it's national security. We can't tell you, we can't tell you. Meanwhile, there's already reporting that the fire that for the fires of war, and in fact the dossier was a top line item, was critical. And you have a member of Congress who has already put it out there. I believe it's a Zellner. Congressman Zellner who has said, oh sorry, Zeldin, pardon me, Zelden, who has said the following via Twitter. We'll get to

Comy's tweet later. Guys, don't worry, that's gonna be fun. Here's Congressman Zelden. McCabe did, in fact testify under oath that there would not have been a Fieser warrant if not for the dossier. It was recorded, So either McCabe blied under oath and therefore perjured himself and should face

criminal charges. Or the dossier was in fact essential for the FISER warrant, which brings me back to my initial summation of this, which is that you had oppo research handed to the FBI, and then the FBI in bad faith went to the FISER court didn't tell the fies A court there is in fact a judge. It's referred to as the FISK, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court f I s C. But the d J went in front of the court and said, yeah, you know, this is

this is this information. We need a fis A warrant on Carter page they did not here. This is from the actual memo today quote. Neither the initial application in October nor any of the renewals disclose or reference the role of the d n C Clinton campaign, or any party campaign or campaign in funding Steal's efforts. Even though the political origins of the Steel dossier were then known

to senior d o J and FBI officials. The dossier, compiled by Christopher Steele on behalf of the Democratic National Committee and the Hillary Clinton campaign, formed an essential part of the Carter page FISA application. Steele was a long time FBI source who was paid over a hundred and sixty thousand dollars by the d n C and Clinton campaign via the law firm Perkins Co and Research for Infusion GPS to obtain derogatory information on Donald Trump's ties

to Russia and quote. So they eight, we're playing dirty with the five accord everybody. But it gets even worse by the way. The names that pop up in this comy McCabe, struck or Yates. One of my personal favorite, Sally Yates, former Acting Attorney General hashtag resist Attorney General would not do her job as acting Attorney General because she hates Trump so much, and since she has left office or has left the d o J, has been

quite vocal about her hatred of Trump. One of the most important things in the entire memo that was out today was also that it was established as a record, on as a fact, on the record that Christopher Steele, the former British intelligence officer who was running around doing all this stuff, that he in fact hated Donald Trump and was desperate to prevent him from becoming president. That's

in the memo. Now, what I'm going to put forward to you right now, is that it is very clear to me that in fact, the same could be said of Yates and Comey, and or and McCabe. They also despised Donald Trump and felt that they should do everything in their power, including the egregious abuse of their discretion, to take down a president by finding those around him who could be targeted using the surveillance apparatus of the

intelligence community, selectively leaked their communications if need be. And bring this into because remember this was leaked to the media, this whole. If the five of stuff was kept silent, wouldn't even know about they were leaking this. They were trying to take Trump down with this completely bogus, nonsense, n income poop filled Russia colle Usian narrative. We have established that today we now have proof. But before we can take this to the jury in this case the

American people, we need more. We need more information. More questions have to be asked, more answers have to be found. We will get to that work together more on this show. Stay with me. This is a tipping point for our democracy. Are we going to be a democracy after today? Or is this going to be demagoguery and despotism. The simple fact of the matter is he talks about transparency, and this is an administration that hasn't had a solo press

conference in a year. They haven't had a press briefing in the last week and a half. They don't talk to the press. We have to go on the South Lawn to try and get in touch with the president and shout questions at him. That's disingenuous. And by the way, if you're going to be transparent, then you release the democratic version of it as well. What the heck is this guy talking about over at CNN or are we gonna even have a democracy? We're gonna have a democracy

after this memo is released. Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's a first of all, to republic. Second of all, I think we're gonna be okay. I think it's gonna be all right. My friend, just just calm down to say my favorite, my favorite Buck tweet from earlier in the day, This one for sorry, this one really uh whatever reason, this one really resonated with people and it was everyone needs to calm down. Comey has an inspirational tweet coming with a photo of a lake that will address all

of this. Comey did have a tweet that he sent out, not of a lake, and it was not inspirational though um but almost as if on Q in response to what I wrote about Comey, you had an actual Comy tweet. Here's what he wrote about the memo. That's it dishonest

and misleading. Memo wrecked the House Intel Committee, destroyed trust with intelligence community, damage relationship with fives accord, and inexcusably, inexcusably exposed classified investigation of an American citizen for what d O J and FBI must keep doing their jobs. Every single thing in that Comy tweet is either an

exaggeration or a lie. Now, given that Comey, as we find out in this memo, authorized three of the four fies awarrants on carter page a US citizen with a some affiliation of the Trump campaign, I think we should go back and rethink some of our Comey as America's last true public servant crap that we've been fed by the media. Let me go through this tweet, fricks for a second. He says, dishonest and misleading memo. Okay, what's dishonest about it? Where where it's misleading? How? What is there?

And then destroyed trust with intelligence community? How did destroy trust with the intelligence community? First of all, the intelligent community of seventeen agencies. This just involves FBI and d J. And why is it destroyed? Why does it destroyed trusts? Who have them doing oversight? They went through a completely legitimate process, a legal process, for the release of this memo. So what's the What does the intelligence community think they

can do? Stuff in Congress doesn't get to know, and the President doesn't get to tell the American people about it. I don't think so. An inexcusably exposed classified investigation of an American citizen. Oh please comb me is such a punk. This stuff has been leaked. The New York Times has been running story after story after story about how Carter Page was under surveillance. You know, maybe at some point he should get the right to either have his name

cleared or have charges brought. But Democrats are just in this for the smears. My friends, he's holding the line for America. Buck Sexton his back. Welcome back to let me share with you what I rode today on the Hill dot com right when the memo broke here, because I think it's a pretty good summation of where we are in all this. By no means does this memo and the issue of so called deep state spying on Trump or the Russia collusion narrative. Those debates will continue on,

likely with more ferocity than ever. We now need more disclosures and even greater transparency into the issue of spying on Trump and the Russia collusion fiasco. But now we have clear evidence that yes, Trump associates were targets of intelligence surveillance using a flimsy partisan pretext that only makes sense if those advancing it from the corridors of government power were filled with a judgment clouding hatred for all

things Trump. This is a bad day for a handful of senior officials within our government, the Democrats who worked so strenuously to keep this information from the light of day, and those in the media who have debased their craft to serve the Russia collusion narrative with no hint of skepticism or even handedness. For the American people who want the truth, however, it is just the start end quote. That's so, that's where I am on this. I figured

that to share it. That's what I think is going on here, and it's true I would know that Devin Nounez was just on TV with Brent Bear and said, quote, this is just the first memo. There will be another one dealing specifically with the State Department's role in all of this. Oh, it isn't that gonna be interesting? You had anti trumpers in the bureaucratic apparatus who were playing

games here, folks. And speaking of the anti trumpers and the bureaucratic apparatus, the names that come in for special treatment here, Comy, Sally Yates, Struck. They have all been clearly anti Trump for quite some time. McCabe or and Rod Rosenstein also mentioned in this, I mean Bruce Or at the FBI thought that it would be okay to keep on meeting with Steel, to treat Steel as a source. And I would just note that you're getting into some

weird gray areas here to begin with. When you're a private intelligence gun for hire, are you also treated like a journalist? Do you get to put the journalist hat on one day and you know then then not? As this clown knows on, clown knows off. You know, sometimes you're a hired gun with an agenda. Other times you get to be a journalist or a source for the FBI. Which is it? Which one is it? But or his wife just happened to be working a fusion GPS on

the dossier put together by Christopher Steele. So or his wife is involved in putting together this information. So Or keeps on feeding this information, believes in its credibility to the FBI. And I would just note that what's in that dossier. I've read through the dossier in full a few times. I'm sure many of you have as well. The only parts of it that are quote verified or corroborator to things like so and so traveled to Russia

at this point, and there's news reports about it. Nothing else has panned out for these people, I mean the they have lost their minds. There is a psychosis now that is clearly at the heart of a lot of the Russia collusion hysteria. People have had a break with reality because new information does not affect their judgment of the situation at all. New information doesn't change their stance. Just for the purposes of a thought experiment for a

moment here, do me a favor. Think about what the media's reaction would have been if in the first year of Obama's presidency. There was a whole storyline about a massive conspiracy between President Obama and Russia that was the

only reason that he got elected. And then we found out that it was actually citizens United paying for some guy to run around and pick up rumors, rumors as we would call it in the intelligence business, rumor intelligence, which is just a funny way of saying rumors, pick up rumant, throw together in some slap dash, unfinalized report, and then use that as the basis or as a

primary basis for counterintelligence surveillance. If what Carter Page was doing was so bad, folks, there's no need to go to the FISA court because you could get a criminal warrant against him. But the mainstream and the left are so dumb, there's so incapable of facing the truth on this. They're so terrified of their credibility just being sprayed as refuse all over the lawn that they won't look at

the facts as they're presented. They pretend to be incapable of putting together necessary data points and drawing conclusions from them. They'd rather be dumb than wrong, or they'd rather be dishonest than wrong, or a combination of of the two. So this is is troubling. I want to dig a little more though, into the Comy Yates Struck side of this. I mean, keep in mind, there have been criminal leaks from someone in the government, I think from some people

in the government. There have been criminal leaks, all negative against Trump. There's been no leaks that helped Trump of of information that's classified. This isn't a leak, this is through the necessary declassification process. But there have been criminal leaks to hurt the Trump administration from people who are very high up and people who thought that they could

cover their tracks and get away with it. We still have not found out how the Washington Post was told the contents of a phone call between a Russian ambassador, Sergey Kisliak and former National Security Advisor General Flynn or Mike Flynn. We still don't found that person. There's somebody at a very senior level, almost certainly at the do o J, who decided to get even No one has been held accountable for that. That was a crime, that was the worst kind of abuse of intelligence powers for

political reasons. No one has been There's nothing nothing on that one, and I think we should start looking into some of these names. Any serious person looks at this information and says, Sally Yates hates Trump, Comey hates Trump, McCabe hates Trump. I mean, you just go down the line, all of them, all of them, and look at how long it's taken us even to get to this point. I would note that I'm seeing the stuff old carter Page, the FISA. You know that they were surveilling and beforehand

because of his connections to foreigners. Okay, so what exactly has carter Page done that's illegal? Anyone? Well? What what are we? What are we waiting for? They haven't flipped page, No charges against Page, so it was just a fishing expedition. Well, I would note that they used carter Page, this insignificant fellow. They used the FISA warrant on him and the surveillance of him as the excuse for this whole Russia collusion thing. The whole thing falls apart. There is no other there's

no other collusion narrative for them. This is it. We're hearing about all this meddling and Okay, yeah, you want to look into Facebook and Twitter bots and sock puppets, fine, knock yourself out. We're never gonna stop that. It's not new and it didn't do anything in the election. And you know what, they need to hear over there at CNN and MSNBC. Even if it did do something about the election, Trump had nothing to do with it. So

tough breaks Hillary worshippers. Stinks for you. If the American people were fooled into believing Russian bots, guess what, they're allowed to make that decision. And we're not about to invade Russia or go to war with them because Larry didn't get to be president. This whole thing is just a joke. It should be. It's just it's a day of disgrace. I mean, Comey is the worst, but I've told you this, a guy who can sleep soundly at night and sends Martha Steward to prison for what. Remember

Comey was the one pushing that. A guy who does not feel sick to his stomach about that completely trumped up nonsense. Oh, Valerie, plain, what are we gonna do? Oh my gosh, you know the whole everything's yeah, she was posing in Vanity Fair like two days after the story broke. She's so worried about what was gonna happen, And please oh, we found out about her, by the way,

nice little anti Semit. But you know, they the media was with her until came out that she was an anti Semit, you know, and then all of a sudden they're like, oh, gosh, maybe we uh shouldn't have made a movie where we had Naomi Watts playing her. Yeah, you don't say tell it. The Scooter Libby Mortgage's house took his life savings, right to practice laws still, a convicted felone just had a sentence commuted for what the political tantrum of the anti Bush left were in the

same place. These people just have no honor, folks. That's what it really comes down to. They have no honor. They have no integrity, they have no decency. They don't question their assumptions, they don't question their biases. They think they're always right. They're like a bunch of spoiled children, except in this case, the spoiled children were running the FBI and running the d J. That's pretty scary. I mean, no accountability unless we push for it. They think they'll

get away with the whole thing. They should be ashamed. I'm seeing this, you know what I'm seeing that. It's it's like nothing's like, nothing's going on, and I'm seeing this. Why is John McCain saying Trump is doing Putin's job for him with the memos release. That's a that's a dumb statement. I mean, John McCain, Ah, yeah, I always want people to order. You know, you can't criticize John Mccainmick. Yeah,

we all respect to service of the country. But what do I need to only have my friends who are special operations current informer be like, yeah, I k indoors and gotten shot and gotten wounded, And like I think John McCain's you know, acting like a jerk. Are they the only ones who are allowed to say it? Because that's how it feels sometimes with the media because what he says, I mean, that's that's an idiotic statement, doing Putin's work for him. And we're talking about very basic

civil liberties here, due process, rule of law. I think it's so interesting that Carter page, Yeah whatever, So we were just you know, looking at all this stuff based on based on crap. If there's more to it, if there's more to it than what we already know, then they damn sure better tell us what that is. But as I've already said, if there's more to it, why

would they include the dossier. Remember a little story I told you about college admissions and how my friend admissions once told me, the thicker, the thicker the file, the thicker the candidate. If you've got a good case, it's easy to make. You've got a straightforward case, you just

do it. When you start patting it and stacking it with with fluff, with nonsense, there's a reason you're telling me they included something that literally could have and basically was written in Hillary clinton headquarters for the campaign about her opponent, and they put that in here, and they didn't think that was a problem. I mean, I remember being told that the at the agency you abuse fies, you're going to prison, right you put this information out there if if you break your oath, this is a

criminal violation. FISA is very very powerful and secret for a reason. And we're seeing look at the Kisliak Flynn conversation up linked that one took Flynn out. Look at how these people are playing the game, and look at how it never goes in the opposite direction. I mean,

this is look. I know people are saying the memo, the memo doesn't end this but it does really show us just how dark and really depraved the other side is when it comes to Russia thing, and how they don't they don't care, They're not at They're not in this for the truth. Folks, strap in and get ready for it. That it does. There is literally nothing I'm not exactly. I mean that there is literally nothing that could come to light. There is nothing that we could prove.

There is nothing that could be demonstrable fact that will stop the New York Times, Washing Post, CNN, MSNBC, leftist media industrial complex from going on and pretending that Trump won the election because of Russia and he's a trader. There is nothing, So we just have to keep fighting and at least try to convince as many as our of our fellow Americans as possible that this whole thing is it's a blank show. All right, Well, I gotta hit a break. I want to hear from all what

do you guys think about the memo? I'm sure you read it. What do you think? Height four five buck get into that next hour. Some action movie quotes too, because we gotta have some funks. It's a Friday. We'll be our back. You figured that one out, He was asked that was Trump. He was asked, do you think you might fire Rosenstein or do you still have confidence in Rosenstein? You know, insure he's the A G Number two. I'm sorry, the d o J number two. The Sessions

recused himself from all this stuff, right, Sessions. Sessions is great. You know, if you're in a street fight and you need somebody to be a few blocks away, who's like you, No, I'm just here. If you need me, you know, just just give me a holler. It's like Sessions, where are you? But anyway, yeah, I mean I think you should fire Rosenstein. Absolutely, that Rosenstein. If my understanding is Rosenstein had a problem with his memo coming out, that is unacceptable. There's nothing

in this memo that exposes sources and methods. There's nothing in this memo that is sensitive. This is stuff that we absolutely had to know. It's effectively a confirmation of what was already out there. But now we don't get to we don't have to rely on you know what The New York Times feels like dolling out to us from their sources at d o J. Everybody, Now we actually have some source material to work with. Oh, all right,

let's take Sam in Charlotte, North Carolina. Hey, Sam, I share your passion and your frustration with these liberal hacks man. They just drive me insane with what they're doing. But I got a couple of questions. Uh, so you've got it right? Are you going to Vegas next week? Oh? You mean on the on the predictions for the memo? H thank you, sir. I'm just happy if you all, if you all feel like you trust my analysis, maybe just even a little bit more now. Oh yeah, I'm

a believer. I'm I'm a shield top believer. Thank you, sir. But do you feel failed that there's nothing that can cause hiss a roll in here? You know, it's as far as legalities, you know, Sam, it's tough because, and I've been saying this to you all along, they can Incompetence never gets you sent to prison in the government, right, That's just the truth, and competence pretty much is is bulletproof, so to speak, defense from criminal jeopardy as a government employee.

You have to have malicious intent or you have to do something, take affirmative steps, you know, knowingly and willfully. And so even though their inclusion of opposition research is unethical, is wildly inappropriate. I don't see what statute it would violate, you see what I'm saying. And and my understanding is also that under the law they don't have to tell the fies a court necessarily. Um you know, well, here's

a better way to put it. A lie of omission to the fives accord is not going to stand up as a lie in court that you could be prosecuted forward, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, but but there could be something in the future. And I've said the leaks, the leak about Flinn and kisl Yak, that's a that's a criminal offense straight up. And they can find I mean, look, they know what paper published it, right, Obama's at the

president for going after journalists. I know journalists would all of a a sudden care about it again if the Trump administration did it but published in the Washington Post. Yeah, hey man, thanks for all that you do. And uh, it's a great pleasure to hear you five for our country every night. Thank you very much, sir. I appreciate it.

Shields Hi, thank you very kind. Yeah. Look, I mean you're not kinda with five for five on that one one five for five it is Friday, So why don't we give everybody the open the will give me all clear for the next hour, that it is time for a m f F. Wait, no, a m QF whoops go in movie quote Friday. Sorry, John, that's a new thing. Action.

You could ask yourself question lucky movie's let off quote Friday's action movie quote Fridays eight four four nine hundred buck eight four four to eight to five action movie quotes. Memo thoughts. Whatever you've got, Team Ribby, Searing recipes, you name it, We're open for it. We'll be right back. Our to coming up. He's back with you now, because when it comes to the fight for truth, the fuck never stops. But the newly declassified Republican staff memo stays at.

The former British spy who was paid by Democrats to put together the Trump dossier had a personal animist towards the candidate Donald Trump. Christopher Steele was hard by the opposition Research for Infusion GPS for the project in April. Five months later, according to the Republican Investigators, he told

the top Justice Department official. In September, Christopher Steele admitted to Bruce Or his feelings against then candidate Trump, when Steele said he quote was desperate that Donald Trump and not get elected and was passionate about him not being president. The NUNS memo is troubling. What you see in here is if it's right that the FBI relied on a document paid by Hillary Clinton's campaign to start as a central part of why they got to fight as a

dot of warrant. That's not the way our system is supposed to work. Welcome back to the buck Sex and show everybody there. He had Katherine Herrider, Fox News and Ari Fleischer, former White House Press secretary, just going through some of what's important from today's memo release. You know what I'm seeing? People? Now? The left is all running with all but there's more information, all right, let's see it. Let's see this more information. We should know, we should

know what it is. And I need someone to explain to me if they had much better stuff for a FISA warrant on carter page. And this does not make the whole FISA process look very good, does it? I mean, what kind of checks and balances can we really have? How can we think that the fis a chord, is anything but a rubber stamp, if the Fusion GPS dossier could in any way, shape or form find its way into a FISA courts request. But if they had other stuff, well then why why put this in there at all?

Why put this in if they think about everyone? What what this effectively means, What the Fusion GPS dossier used in a FISA warrant process means is that any political candidate for office could have his henchman or her henchman in the case, hire somebody to run around, dig up some dirt, or just fabricated one of the classic techniques of intelligence and counterintelligence, just make stuff up disinformation campaign, right, You could fabricate information and then have somebody who has

some relationship with the FBI. Oh that's right, like Bruce or his wife who worked for Fusion GPS, some person with the relationship to vouch for that person, and they go in there and they just say, yeah, here, I would like you to spy on people affiliated with the presidential campaign because of this, And the information doesn't have to be verified, the information doesn't have to be true, guys. And this is like the FAISA intelligence court equivalent of

swatting somebody. It just ran in there was a hit job. Oh yeah, you know, here's the stuff we got together on Carter Page. He's he's in the fusion or he's covered in this dossier we have. Oh no, he just happens to be or happens to have been working for the Trump administration. Now this is where this can get very This can get lost in translation very quickly. If they're gonna say now that Carter Page and this is all separate from Trump in some way, and that he

is not the reason for Russia collusion. Go back and look at how the whole story of Russia collusion with the Trump administration was built. It was all about leaks, leaks that were based on the Carter Page storyline. So what they did is they they had a situation where one person was under surveillance, and then they kept leaking these stories about, oh, somebody traveled to Russia, senior advisor to Trump under surveillance, there's an active fis a warrant

under surveillance. Those are, by the way, those are all criminal leaks. Who's doing the leaking? I think we know, right, we have we have a handful. We're not sure who is responsible for any individual leak or individual leaks yet I think we got some ideas. I could play some bets. Right now, I'm feeling pretty frisky about my ability to predict the future. So there's some names that come to mind.

Who thought that it was necessary to leak? I mean, you did have an acting Attorney general, for example, who decided to go full on never Trump, anti Trump and just to profane the office of the Attorney General on the way out. Not her call to be like, I don't like what you're doing. Not her call. Remember she didn't resign, she got fired. She just said I'm not doing it. You want to resign on principle, welcome to do that as a government servant anytime. But you stay

and say no, you gotta fire me. What is that? That's just nullifying the system? Right. Think about if anybody else did that. I think about if you had a bunch of leftist Democrat judges. Oh, you know, I just refused to see any cases today. I'm just not gonna do my job because I don't like Trump. We have to go through with the process of impeaching them. I mean, what are you gonna do. It's just a way to try to throw grains of sand into the machinery of

the watch of government, right, that's all that was. These people are a complete disgrace and they're so smug, too comy. That guy is really high on my list of just the worst, the worst. And I've known it all along, because anybody who thought that the Patrick Fitzgerald Special prosecutor with the whole valerie playing affair, anyone who thought that wasn't just a completely overbolt blown political hit, is either

a liar or an idiot. I mean, we're really getting down into that territory now where those are the only choices that are left for a lot of this stuff. And if it's really true that there's more on carter page, I want to know what it is. We should have access as to that information. We should know why it is that the federal government was tracking this guy. I've seen this stuff at all. The Russians tried to recruit him,

that's that's that's nothing. The Russians. The Russians pitch you because you travel to their country and you don't know that their intelligence operatives that are pitching you, and this is just based on the New York Times reporting. Then they get then the government gets to track all your

all your U. S citizen. They get to track your communications just you know, for the foreseeable if they had other stuff, why I use the dossier, folks, The dossier was padding at a minimum, if not the primary reason it was padding. If they had a real case, they wouldn't have had to put it in there. They had a real case, we would know what the rest of the case was. I would also note that carter page run around given interviews, they got nothing on this guy.

So that's kind of a little disconcerting too, isn't it that you could be a US citizen who who Not a single person has yet even come up with what carter page what crime he theoretically was committing, And yeah, he's under surveillance. Oh oh, that's interesting. So the government now can tap your phone just because you know, they kind of have a hunch because hashtag counterintelligence. I'm sorry, unacceptable, unacceptable. I think we should be having that fvisory authorization debate now.

By the way, it's really been looking at this much more closely. Not a foreigner foreigner sorry, different ballgame. You know, we want to look into what foreigners are doing whatever in telling the community, God bless go for it. Constitution protects US citizens from that kind of behavior, and that this got mixed up into a presidential campaign in intelection year in any way and has been used now continuously as a nemesis for the Trump administration. That's what this

Russia collusion Mueller probe is. I mean, I asked the question, without Carter Page, without the Fiser warrant, do you have a Muller probe? Why do we have this Muller probe to look into Russia election meddling? We don't need Mueller to ask Facebook for information on Russian bots. So do we even have this investigation if not for this trumped up Fiser warrant? That's the real question. And people can tell me, oh, there are other reasons they're looking at

carter Page. Okay. I like to know what they are and elect to know what it has to do with Trump, because if the problems that Carter Page had, you see, I know you you got there, So slipper, you have to really nail them down, folks. Is what the Democrats are saying. The Adam Shifts used, sham Well used sham weile, salesman in chief, Adam Schiff. Uh. This is where they start to you know, when when you really pin them down,

they get all squirmy. They'll say, well, carter Page was under surveillance before, or he was on the FBI's radar before he worked for Trump, the investigations before he worked for Trump. Okay, so then what does this have to do with Trump? Were they just going after Page as a private citizen the Russians and then this all got dragged into it, because then what is what's the basis for what is the basis for the Muller probe? That's

really what you have to be asking now. If carter pages association with Donald Trump did not coincide with the the beginning of the counterintelligence investigation on Carter Page, why do we have any reason to believe that Trump or any of his top people had anything to do with you. See what I'm saying. They can't have it both ways. They say, oh, well, the husion GPS isn't the reason that they were looking at carter Page. There was other

stuff and it started before he was working for Trump. Okay, So is this a Manafort situation? Yeah, Manafort did some shady stuff overseas, nothing to do with Trump. Is that what we have here? I think it might be and guess what that means. That the whole Russia collusion narrative is fabricated, It is false, and it means that no one should ever take a place like MSNBC or CNN seriously, never mind a whole bunch of pundits, journalists, authors and

all the rest of it. Ever again eight four eight four four nine hundred buck, we gotta we gotta get in some lines some phone. I know every single line has been lit the whole show, which I appreciate that. Guys. I know a lot of your calling in and we've only got six lines that are open. But we will get into these calls. I want to rack him and stack him. Want to hear from all of you. Just keep mind as as we take calls, lines open up.

So if you haven't been able to get in X, I know we've got lit up like a Christmas tree right away in here, you'll have a chance. Eight four four nine hundred buck. Just call in as soon as somebody drops drops off and we'll get some calls. Stare right with me. All right, lines lit, team, Let's get to it. Jesse in bat Rouge, Louisiana. Hey, Jesse, how's it going, brother? Bucks Shields, high Field time. Man, thank you for calling in. Look here, man, I got a

question and an observation. My observation is this. You know, from what I know about this Fights Accord deal is these judges are rotated federal judges, and with any luck, none of them come from the Ninth District. But you know, I've spent most of my life in law enforcement after my exodus from the army, and my family's all been in law enforcement, either prosecute prosecutorially or as comps. And the one thing that I've learned over my years is, if you really really want to upset a judge, lie

to him. Should we anticipate some repercussion from this nonsense? Now that the judge, the judge that was involved in this fights WI warrant, knows he was hoodwinked, you know, I don't. I don't think so, because, first of all, the big advantage from a government malfeasance point of view that the fires of court has is that the proceedings are so secret and secretive, uh, such that you know

it's punishable by law. Although you know grand jury proceedings are secret, there's other stuff that happens in courts that aren't necessarily about classified as you well know, and law enforcement that you have to keep under wraps too. But the the reality here is I think that there won't be any repercussions. They will just say that there was no obligation to inform the fies A court about the entirety of the background of the information they were giving.

They were just presenting the information, you know what I mean. Yeah, but I would still think there'd be a strong taste for at least contempt at court because they went in their full knowing that they were full of it. They knew that everything that they were presenting to this court was a lie or was based on here say and and I can't see any judge and good standing and good good moral conscience that wouldn't be upset about this. Yeah, I agree with you, A fool out of themselves. They're

making a fool out of that particular court. You know, I don't have uh, I don't have a clear insight into the day to day workings of the actual fives A court. I really understand fives them more as a process and as a tool, But in terms of going going before a judge, you know, that's that wasn't my That wasn't my deal. So I don't know, man, I

look at Jesse raised a very valid point. Maybe I'll see if we get Andy McCarthy to come way in on that one next week, and I'll say, look, can one of those judges see you would see what I would We were at Jesse's. I feel like the judge think about how difficult it was to get this information out, even though Congress and the President wanted to do it. I'm sure a judge has all kinds of national security

gag orders in effect for it. So I don't even know what the process would be for a fives a judge to come forward and try to hold someone in contempt. I don't know, if you know what I'm saying. I don't even I don't know. Yeah, well, I mean that you know that. That's what gets me is is it would be different if there were any real basis to anything they presented to the court. But this whole thing was nothing but smoking mirrors, and now the court knows it.

So that that just kind of got me scratching my head. That my question for you is you're gonna love this, um right? I mean, like the next day after this memo was made public and people start talking about it, all of a sudden, trade Dad, he decides he's not going to run for re election, and his response to the to the media was, I'm going in. I'm going

in to prosecute prosecutorial law. Do you think there's a little bit Is that one of those things that make you go because I mean, he's been the pitbull of Washington for years. I mean he when he grabs all of the bne he don't turn it loose. Ye, I I did definitely made me go. Hm. I tried to try to get that across here on the show. I just don't believe that a guy like Trey Gaudy, who's who's been to the big dance, so to speak, is

just gonna fade out. Now. He's a young guy. He's got a lot of a lot of mileage left on him, if you know what I mean. And I just don't think, you know, I don't see him just disappearing into the night to go, you know, run a wood shop somewhere.

So I I the answers. I don't know, Jesse, but I agree with you that it's U and I would love for him to come back because I would love him to come back as Attorney general, by the way, so that would be that would be my what's the thing with me is is you know it's his timing is pretty miraculous really, because let's be real, honest, we don't have anybody on the hill right now with the stones to go after the players that are involved in

this game. Look, I hear maybe maybe he gets appointed special counsel to look into the special counsel you know who knows? Man, but Jesse shields high and thank you very much for the call. I do appreciate it, my friend. H Let's take that would be interesting, right if Trey Gaudy think about at they put him in a position where he would be the one that gets to look into what's been going on here with all the other

players in this mess. Uh. Let's take Charlotte in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Hey, Charlotte, hi owns calling because you're a comment about media industrial complex. I said, that's right, That's exactly what it is. That's why these people are so diabolical and so desperate because they started something under Obama and Trump has kicked the

foundation out from underneath it. They wanted to impoverish us and and makes us become like hopeless depressed and uh Trump has given us new life and jobs and people to hope for something. And these Vomba people like Holme onto desperation for their grand plan of you know, some kind of global socialization and uh Trump is uh gamegous to their plans. That's why they pulled out all stops

and what became so desperate. That's in my opinion. When I was watching these Democrats sit in the House at the State of Union, I said, why aren't they applotting for certain things? You know? And that's because they want power. Nothing's gonna make them happy except for the power that they got drunk on during Obama. That's absolutely true. And I would just know Charlotte to add into what you're saying that the way the media has set this up now And when when I say the media, you all

know what I'm talking about. Not conservative websites, talk radio and Fox News and some other smaller channels that are out there, but all the big channels, all the big newspapers. They are so tainted by their hatred of Trump that they cannot even be trusted to process new information. And and view it with clear eyes as to how it affects this whole Russia collusion narrative. They are so invested, they are all in against Trump. All their chips are on the table, and the chips are meant to say

that I'm passed to go down. They are betting on it. They are left with nothing if he doesn't. So that's what's going on here, Charlotte, Thank you very much for calling in from Pittsburgh. Yeah, it's it's crazy out there, man, it's crazy. I don't know what's gonna happen here with the next memos to drop, though, I want to see that Democrat memo. I want to see shift those cold dead eyes of Adam Schiff. I I just want to see him, you know, staring into the camera and telling

us all, well, here's the Democrat memo. And we look at it, We're like, uh, okay, what exactly, what exactly are you trying to say here with this memo? Because if you're just gonna tell us there's information that you can't tell us, but that also means the information we do know is worth nothing. Sorry, not just gonna buy that. As the Democrat response, we got more stay with me. Other shows. Just talk at you in the Freedom Mudge.

We have a mission. We fight for the truth in a team effort and buck us back with our next play. All right, all right, let's get in some calls here. We have Kevin in Scottsdale, Arizona. Hey, Kevin, Hey, buddy, Hey buddy, You'll tie, You'll tie, dude. Hey, congratulations. I gotta say I've been listening to you for years and to see you on Fox News.

Last night, I can't I can't yell this, but it has to be screamed out. Long Live the Fighters. I mean, you got me. I had no idea to hit the buzzer. What is it. I've never seen Dune.

I appreciate it. Man,

I got an action movie line here that's really an action movie. And I'm not to degrade the previous fellas, but I would like to afterwards give a line from a yeah, a war movie that I think people can use in their social media anyway. The action line is this, um,

Go ahead, okay, um, okay, unless you starting well, it's like a one man play. We're doing it right here. And then off stage he says, take gifts. I don't know, man, I got nothing. What what is this? Hit the buzz terminal velocity with Charlie Sheen. You gotta see that one. Is that is that where

he's like a parachute guy or something? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. That is one of the best actual movie I thought you would eat this one. Man. I don't know we're getting We're getting into like next thing. I know you guys are gonna start bringing Dolph Londgren's like third tier films up, which yeah really yeah, I'm I'm gonna say it.

Thanks for calling in re appreciate it shields eye major league. It was a major league. That's right. Great movie, by the way, you know, I will say one thing. People were giving me a little bit of the business today because yes it is. It is groundhog Day, right punk Satani Phil saw his shadow so that you

know that happened. But I said, Bill Murray, I said, I think, uh, Bill Murray's top ten involves groundhog Day. Some people are telling me they think groundhog Day is Bill Murray's best all time movie. I think that's a little much. I think it's definitely in the conversation in the top five. I don't think. I don't think there's any way it beats out Ghostbusters or Caddy Shack. Though, I just don't. You know, guys, you know we're not animals, were not savages here. We gotta keep it real. So

I I just don't see that. But I could be wrong. I could be wrong. Let's get Scott in Greensboro, North Carolina. Hey Scott, Hey Buck, how you doing and really enjoy your should Thank you very much, sir, I appreciate that. Yeah, let's have a comment about the democrats reaction to this memo. Yeah, it's kind of funny, the last four of six years, they have done nothing but vilify law enforcement and despise the rule of law in this nation. And now all

of a sudden, there lifting up law enforcements FBI. Of I'm not buying it. I actually tweeted out something about that just a couple of days ago, the very very similar sentiment. I'm like, so, we were told for the last few years of the Obama administration that police were irredeemably racist, there was systemic bias in the whole law

enforcement system. And there look, there was a lot of of sympathy and you know, sympathy and and you could even say collusion from the media with the Black Lives Matter movement, which led to some neighborhoods getting burned down in part and riots in some places. And they were always, oh,

but you know, the police racism is so bad. And now those same reporters, I mean, I'm not saying just like democrats in general, I'm talking about I could name some of the reporters, I could name some of the journalists. Those same people are now turning around like, oh my gosh, you're undermining the FBI. I want to be like, look, you know, in most of our day to day lives, you know, no offense to FBI agents who are listening.

But on our day to day lives, it's actually local law enforcement and state troopers that are the ones that are keeping you know, bad guys from kicking in granny's door and stealing all of our valuables, you know what I mean. So undermining local police is actually really dangerous to us. Holding the FBI, which has incredible federal power accountable, that to me is an undermining that's that's necessary. Absolutely, Yeah, I'm with you. Well, it's an excellent observation, Scott, we

share the same observation. Shield side buddy. Thank you for calling in uh nol in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Hey, hey, what's going on? Yeah? Coming out? I thank you from what you said about the memo between you Handity and Russian they have nailed the whole um analysis of it for like the past year. I mean, it's nice getting the confirmation everything. Yes, thank you, it's good to be right. But also I had an actual movie for you, and let's le's see if you all right. I gotta redeem myself.

I'm kind of off my game today. Although Dune. Now that he's gone, I'm just gonna say, Dune in sci Fi. Get that, get that weak sauce out of here, go ahead, and okay here you alright mother, when you release your shield, and so have I, sister, And he charged at the enemy, so all I and the death awaits us, calling his warriors home. Let me go, guy, smiling by your side, for we are family. That's an awesome quote. I want that inscribed on my tombstone. Um, so I'll just take

the hit. All this I don't know, but that's amazing. Whatever this movie is, I have to see it. Acts of Violence with Bruce Willis and Coalhauser. I have never even heard of that movie. What's what's the basic what's the basic plot? Uh? This? Uh that? Who with like PTSD sort of or he said some issues or his brother his wife gets kidnapped by some um slavery outfit in Cleveland, and the KI and his buddies and his brother's going to hunt with automatic weapons to try and

hunt down the people that took her. It's a little bit like without Remorse. Then the Tom Clancy novel and I mentioned on the show a while back, which I read when I was like thirteen or fourteen, and it's quite a Yeah, that's quite a novelry. When you're in the fifth or sixth grade, you're like, damn. But anyway, yeah, okay, I'll check out this movie. No, that's a great quote. Though. That's really cool. I mean it's a little bit on the implausible side, but it's it's a fun movie here. Yeah,

most most movies are. It's like whenever I see whenever I see you know, movies about people in the CEI thanks for calling in all movies with people in the c I A And I'm like, yeah, we don't have like watches that fire out lasers. We do write a lot of memos though, a lot of typing, superspy typing. Um, alright, a four or four nine buck if you want to call in, please do. Wow, we've ripped through the show today. It's been fast. I feel like I've been sitting here

for about ten minutes. That some other stuff to discuss, maybe a little more about the situation of immigration. UM, I don't know. Maybe they'll make fun of Adam Shift because I like to do that will make some comy jokes because he's a uh freakishly unself aware lanky, weirdo. Um, I don't know, we'll get into some good stuff. It's Friday, so be kind of a surprise there right there. Did anybody not see the state of the Union, because even the haters back there gave us good reviews on that

one taught for them to do. They came up with the fake Paul's. You know, they had fake polls, but the fake poles were even good, and they said, what are we gonna do? Took him a couple of hours to figure before they went negative. You know, they got calls from the bosses. You can't say that about Trump, can't say good our immigration situation shouldn't. I think it has a chance. You know, the Democrats are a wall. They're missing an action. Who're saying, where are they? We

have a proposal? We never hear from him because I don't think they want to solve the DOCTA problem. I think they want to talk about it. I think they want to obstruct. You know, the name is resist, that's the name of their movement. Resist. That's all they do is resist. I don't know if they're good at it. They can't be too good at it because we're passing

a lot of things. Here's the uh. I was gonna say there's the Trump, which that would work too, But there's President Trump speaking about where he is right now on immigration after that very effective State of the Union address, And I would just note that he seems to be quite on the ball when it comes to what the Democrats real endgame is here on immigration specifically, he seems to know that they don't really want to deal. They

just wanted y'all racist? Do you so racist? Hashtag resist, no interest in trying to govern responsibly as adults and to restore the rule of law. They just want the

photo ops. Um. I would note that there's a Pew a Pew Global Report outside from the Pew Research Center, that this won't get all that much attention, but I think it's it's important for us keep in mind A hundred According to Pew Research, a hundred and thirty eight billion, one hundred and sixty five million dollars in remittances was sent from the United States to other countries in they don't have the numbers yet. A hundred and thirty eight

billion dollars everybody sent to other countries. Now, I understand you could say, oh, well, but no buck private property people and Senate. Now let's look. Let's dial into which countries are very high on the list. I'm sure some of you could probably us only a few, only a handful really get over a billion dollars in remittances h China, India, Mexico. But far and away the biggest of these remittance receiving countries,

it's Mexico. To the tune of it is. Remember and this is just based on Pew research, so it's based on survey data. But you've got roughly fifteen to twenty billion dollars a year in hard currency flowing south across the border via remittances to Mexico. I would also note that that money is I'm sure a vast majority of

it is untaxed. Untaxed. We are subsidizing Mexico's economy with untaxed wages that are sent across the border through I don't know, maybe Western Union or however the miittances get transferred these days. I would also note that this number, and now I'm bringing in some of my other topics I find interesting, this number is sure to only go up as these different services for the transfer of funds,

the kind of paypalization of the Internet, right. PayPal was the first really big one to allow you to transfer funds to people without it and being through a credit card or without it being through a bank specifically. PayPal is kind of like an intermediary between the banks, which are intermediaries. But if you could just sell or you could just send currency through crypto, which I know and probably not a lot of the illegal immigrant community in

America is big into crypto right now. But I'm just saying, in the future, this is going to get a lot easier to do. And if you can do that, I think there were remittances, the number is probably just gonna go up. The number is only going to be increasing over time. And this is also where we do have considerable average in dealing with Mexico and the issue of immigration,

because they really need those remittances for the economy. When I said, really, it's not like the Mexican economy is going to collapse without them, I think the Mexican economy is maybe I think it's a trillion dollars a year. I think that's about right. Um, but they still in terms of hard currency from the US just flowing in,

you know, twenty billion that counts for a lot. And I think that this is where you start to see that there are ways that the US could exert a little more leverage and its stealings and negotiations with Mexico that we turn the heat on pretty quickly. I would also tell you that we have on the books and we just refuse to use it because it would be I don't know, I mean, it would just be too strong an action. I suppose they would say. But the um, the reality is right now on the books. If you, uh,

if you were to enforce it. Any time that a country refuses to take back illegals that we have in our custody in this country, we are supposed to, under law suspend all visas from that country. That's a very useful tool in our dealing with countries that have large illegal imigrant populations here that are being difficult about taking them back. So I just wanted to, uh, I just wanted to point that out. A hundred, but a hundred thirty eight billion dollars. I wonder what the economic impact

is of that for us. This money is not this money is not getting spent on goods and services here everybody. Hundred and thirty eight billion bucks just flowing overseas. Remember remittances. This is money that people are sending home to their home countries. So you know, it's not not a lot of made in USA going on with that stuff, and a lot of it is untaxed, especially when start talk about legal aliens. You're there's not going to be much in the way of taxation, um going on with those

those flows at Bobby and Colfax, North Carolina. What's up, Bobby? Doing good? Doing good? And how are you? But I'm good. I got a movie clip for you, all right, we got some movie quotes flowing in today. What do you got? Uh? Thank you for flying mix Mixican Airlines. I mean, I don't know what is it? That's the quote, come on Desperado. I don't know. Now it's uh badash down the boy? You I mean, is this like a is this like a whole movie that you've seen? What's this movie? It's

uh uh what is the guy's name? Danny? I I hello to pronounce his last name, and Danny uh Glover was in it. It's called bat but bad ass and the boy. You know, I know I heard that part of it, all right. It sounds like is there like some wrestling of gators. It sounds like that kind of movie. All right, Bobby, I appreciate it, man, Thank you fair enough. Um, alright, guys, I was gonna put this out there for the team. Alright, I know some of you, you know, you know what

I'm gonna say. I'm gonna call an action movie quote. I mean, we're really we're looking for a certain genre of film here on a certain level of quote. Alrighty, we're getting a little we're getting a little down in the weeds here with some you know, hey, Buck, what's this quote? Would you say? It's not enough for me? Guys, a little you need a little more meat on the action movie quote. Bone, We're gonna talk about progressive schools coming up. You're gonna like it. He's holding the line

for America. Buck Sexton his back. Welcome back to the Buck Sexton Show. Team our three here. I know it's a Friday. I wanted to mix some things up, so we've got some different topics coming up this hour instead of just memo, memo, memo. Uh, there's what was that movie with the guy who kept for memento? Right? He kept forgetting things? And that movie was very overrated by the way, I don't really remember it, and that wasn't I'm not making a joke there, but the memo, Okay,

we've talked a lot about that. There's something else I wanted to get into here. It's a piece in The Weekly Standard that we should really put up on Facebook dot com slash buck Sexton because I want you all to be able to read it and find it really easily. It's by Katherine Kirsten of the Weekly Standard, and it's inside a public school social justice factory. I'm telling you,

if you got kids, you have to read this. If you don't have kids, you have to read this, just because it's it's such a compelling story and it just goes to show you what is going on at least some of the public school districts in this country. Let me give you some of ms Kirpan's were Kirsten's words here, and then we will dig into it a bit more. For decades, the public schools of Adena, Minnesota, where the

gold standard among the states school districts. Adena is an upscale suburb of Minneapolis, but virtually overnight its reputation changed. Academic rigor is unraveling high school reading and math test scores are sliding, and students increasingly fear bullying and persecution. The shift began in tween when Adiena's school leaders adopted the All for All Strategic Plan, a sweeping initiative that reordered the district's mission from academic excellence for all students

to quote racial equity. Equity in this context does not mean equality or fairness. It means racial identity, politics and ideology that blames minority students, academic challenges on institutional racial racial bias, repudiates Martin their King Junior's color blind ideal, and focuses on uprooting I know you already guessed it white privilege. End quote. This was a top down program of social justice warrior indoctrination for kids who are in

elementary school, for little kids. I mean they talk about what this does at the high school level as well. But you're teaching six and seven and eight year olds about social justice and social racial equity, racial consciousness. I mean, maybe they should work on addition and subtraction first, you know, maybe it would be helpful. You want to I want to skip ahead to the end here about one part

of this. Who wants to guess if the math. If the math scores of minority students in the school system dramatically went up or dramatically went down after this program of social justice warrior indoctrination, who wants to guess, Yeah, they went down a lot, a lot, because you know, when you stop teaching people and decide to brainwash them instead with ideas that any adult who knows anything would at best find to be highly politicized and at worst

are just falsehoods peddled by people that have become brainwashed themselves by a culture of victimology and Martin Neo Marxism. But here's more of what they tell the kids. I want to get into what what what are they teaching children in this school district in Minneapolis because this in Minnesota, Minnesota. That sounds that's kind of right. And I always think

of the mom from Bobby's World, Bobby Clean your Room, Minnesota. Um, you know Ms Molly is she actually grew up in all different parts of the of the country, Florida, Louisiana. Uh not. Buffalo is not upstate New York, right, that's like Western New York or do we consider that upstate here? Upstate is like if you're New York City. Upstate is anything where there's grass and trees that's outside of New York City. But so she's been all over the place, and she always making fun of not make fun I

I lovingly teach her about how she says tired. You see, I'm tired. I'm like, where did that come from? That's just how she says it. I don't know. I think it's because she's growing up in some funky places where they have deficult Oh yeah, you know, Oh yeah, I'm tired doing dealing, you know. Um, But Minnesota's a lovely place, all right, And I'm sure this Minneapolis suburbs is lovely too. But here's what they're teaching kids in Adena, Minnesota school

District now. As written in this piece in the Weekly Standard Quote. Highland Elementaries, new racially conscious elementary school principle runs a blog for the school's community. On it, she approvingly posted pictures of Black Lives Matter propaganda and rainbow gay Pride flags, along with a picture of protesters holding a banner pro claiming gay marriages are right. On a more age appropriate post, she recommended an ABC book for

small children entitled A is for Activists. You peruse the book and find all sorts of solid gold like F is for feminists, T is for trans see is for culporate corporate vultures. I am not making this up, folks, I'm not making it up. Okay, there there you have,

and and it it gets, oh, it gets worse. There's obviously in the high school all kinds of deconstructionist, Marxist, feminist, post colonial, psycho analytical approaches to literature, a lot of themes of colonization, immigration, and social constructions of race, class, and gender. So they're they're basically taking stuff that even college students can't make sense of, and that is a waste of their time. And they're force feeding this now to high school kids who are, by the way, struggling

in math and and reading. And then it gets it gets even worse. In case you didn't think that was the single worst instance of this or the worst instances I could give you, um ah, I told you that. Hold on a second, I'm trying to find it. Now here we go. Recently, conservative students at a Dina High school file a federal lawsuit claiming the district has violated its members rights of free speech and association. The suit grew out of events following a Veterans Day assembly in

the high school gym on November nine. There, a group of veterans spoke about their military service, and the school band played the national anthem and tap during the music, Some African American students protested by refusing to stand, talking loudly, and blaring music on their cell phones. Members of the schools on official Young Conservatives club responded by criticizing the

protesters behavior at school and on social media. In response, the protesters and their allies harassed the Conservative students, with groups as large as thirty surrounding club members and threatening to hurt them if they did not change their political views. Uh so yeah, Um, here you have kids disrespecting veterans in a high school, and some students say, hey, that wasn't cool, and then other students are now physically threatening

the kids who said, hey, don't disrespect the veterans. This is now high school in America, folks, This is happening. It reminds me of how I told you yesterday that it wasn't just to pick on that that imbecile out And I think it was with California, that teacher who said that you know military, or the dumbest of the dumb and the lowest of the low, I mean, that

complete slug of a human being. Um, it wasn't just to highlight some idiot, but also to to tell you, as I did, that that mentality, unfortunately is more widespread on the left than certainly any mainstream Democrats want to admit publicly, that anti military sentiment lives on the left in ways that would never be acceptable among those on the right, among conservatives, and that it wasn't and it's not an isolated incident really in that regard that there

are plenty of Remember our OTC was kicked off a college campuses for how long. There's plenty of anti military sentiment among academia. And now we're we're just talking about school teachers too. We're not even really talking about academia in the sense of the academy or the campus. So it's I mean, this stuff is bad. This is what we're seeing at schools now across the country. This is just one particularly egregious example of it. Um, And they

are teaching Marxism. I mean, there's one guy here who actually who's a parent who filed the suit. He says he fled Nicaragua as a child to escape communism, and now he actually has his kids being told that communism is actually a good thing in schools in America and he has a problem with that, and he's right, And it just goes to show you what is really going on in some of them. Remember this is a public school system. Okay, this is your tax dollars, folks, Your

tax dollars are going to this. Um. It's disconcerting. Uh, here we go. The drop was most noticeable at the high school level. Math course for Black students in eleventh grade dropped from proficient in teen to fourteen percent. Uh. In guys, the math proficiency of African American high school students at in this school system dropped by half in three years after they instituted this social justice curriculum. I mean, if this had happened under any other circumstances, people be like,

oh my gosh, Like what's going on? But you see the problem is when people are learning lies about politics, they're not learning the truth about reality. They're not learning how to do the essential intellectual heavy lifting of being a responsible citizen and an adult. They're not learning the basic knowledge to come to informed conclusions. They're not learning to question, they're not learning logic and reason. You can have whole societies that are built on educating the young

with lies. I mean, when you look at what's taught in some Shariah compliant curriculums in the Muslim world, for example, I mean, I don't have to go right to North Korea, but obviously the same thing. It's true there. But there are plenty of countries where the ideological bias of adults infects, distorts, and destroys whatever could be taught to children, and therefore pollutes the next generations thinking and and just their ability

as well. And the terrible and tragic irony here is that this curriculum is supposed to be benefiting, particularly black students in this Minneapolis school district, and instead of benefiting them on the test scores, it's actually making their lives harder and making them less likely to succeed and go to college. But this is what social justice warriors do, you know, really nice intentions, really terrible results, and they

just blame it on other people and scream about racism. Alright, we're gonna have much more coming up, Teams, Stay right there, I'll be back seem my apologize twofold here one is for the delay in this particular topic on the show, and the other is for the late hour a Friday for me to do it. Usually, I know this is a a lighter part of that I try to make it a lighter part of the show. But as it came to me, I just I would feel remiss if

I went into the weekend without raising the issue. And has to do with the recent Senate rejection of what is called the Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, which is about a twenty week abortion band. There could be a finer imprisonment for those who have an abortion beyond twenty weeks. The other way of saying that is beyond five months. And this was a bill that you would think in any civilized society and any essentially decent and

moral country, that that bill would pass. In fact, there are similar even more restrictive if one would call it that, I mean restrict ss on murder that aren't just a total restriction seemed to be deeply insufficient. But European countries, many of them have bands on what are effectively third term abortions. And this he's one of those moments where and I know this, it's it's I know it's late, it's a Friday. And for the media, for whatever reason,

it's always been said. I was told this by producers who just look at the numbers and they say, don't don't talk about issues of life on on your show, don't talk about on TV, don't talking about on a radio. Because even people who agree with you, and I would assume that a lot of you listening feel the same way about this that I do. Although I don't know, it's just my my guest, but I think it's a safe assumption that you are pro life and you believe

in life and want to protect it. Ah. But even people who feel that way, I will say, I can't, you know, I can't handle And now they'll change the they'll change the channel, or they'll turn the dial, they're turn off the radio, whatever it may be. I certainly hope that that is That is not the case, and I'm speaking about it, one because I feel compelled to anyway, and two because I believe that with this audience that

is not the case. Despite the so called conventional wisdom from the media analyst set that you can't discuss this issue without literally getting people turning people off. UM. This is a reminder for all of us of the moral divide between the two parties. There are a lot of issues where it's a difference of how to get to the same outcome. How do we make a better economy,

how do we promote the best immigration policies? And I know there's pretty fierce differences within even those spheres, But on this issue, it is in fact black and white. And I do take solace on my worst day sometimes this thought just crosses my mind. Maybe one person, at some point in the now five going on six years I've been doing radio, Maybe one woman has heard the show and decided against her previous inclination or judgment to

have a baby that she wouldn't have otherwise. And I remind myself of that, because that would have made all of this that I have done, all the thousands of hours of radio more than worthwhile. UM. And that's why I just feel, how does the media not spend any time on this? I think that there's a there should be a greater sense of shame about this, UM, that

this isn't more of a central focus. That we can't live in a country that understands that a baby that is that has been in the womb for five months, that can feel pain, that has fingernails, are heartbeat, lungs, a brain. Uh, you know, I don't. You know the specifics as well as I do. Many of you have had children which I have not yet had, so you have an even closer relationship to the whole process of bringing a life into this world that the Democrat Party

would be willing to stand against. This is the only evidence, in fact that I need. It's the only data point that I have to bring up that shows that they are in fact standing a top and immoral foundation. This is the root sin, the original sin of the Democrat Party,

that they do not respect life. That they have convinced themselves through a series of delusions that people like the now departed from the organization ah Cecil Richards and her Forbear, Margaret Sanger and others are anything other than for profit butchers is very disturbing. And this is where there's a real difference, folks. You know, we're not sitting here talking

about the marginal tax, right. We are literally looking at whether or not one political party roughly half or so of the ideological spectrum, but represents half the ideological spectrum in this country wants to have more liberal abortion laws than any European country and wants to make sure that a woman can terminate a pregnancy well beyond the point at which it is a baby that would live on its own, never mind the debate over life at conception

and supporting life all at all points throughout the pregnancy. So this was a very this was a very dark day for the country. I I'm somebody who advocates. I know some would say, no, you just need to overturn o v weighted. I I take the approach of we save as many lives as we can, as quickly as we can. And anything that is saving life, anything that is stopping abortion procedures from happening, is a good thing.

And if we could stop you know, five thousand this year and top five hundred thousand in the next year, that would be fantastic. I don't want to wait to just stop the five thousand, because we've got five thousand lives hanging in the balance. Um. I am appault and I really have to sometimes catch myself because even some of my my friends in New York who are stalwart Democrats,

particularly the women I know who are stalward. Democrats will defend this, and I just look at them and I know that they don't actually believe in in killing babies. They've just convinced themselves that this is not killing babies, and they're wrong. So I know that's a bit intense for later on a Friday. But the Senate failed us, the government failed us, and there are a lot of people that are going to have some answering to do in this life. We're the next on this issue. We'll

be right back. So the doubt dropped like a stone in water. Today. Not looking so good on the economy. What the heck is going on here? We've got the tax reform, uh, putting more money in people's pockets, supposed to be a very positive economic outlook. Some people are saying GDP of maybe four or four and a half percent this year, and things are feeling little If you're right now, well to take a look at the latest jobs numbers and everything going on with the economy. We've

got Phil Kirpin with us. He is president of American Commitment if you found it back in twent twelve. He's also contributing editor at National Review and a writer for Fox News. Opinion. Great to have you feel. Hey, my pleasure, thanks for having me. So what is going on with the economy right now? Feels like a weird rough day when otherwise we should be celebrating, right, but the Tao

is looking like it's been a little rattled. Yeah. Well, this is one of those things where the stock market, I think, uh interpreted sort of good economic news as bad news for stocks because they think that the economy is going to sort of heat up to the point that it's going to force interest rates higher, and that's going to kind of end the party, the easy money

party that we've had on Wall Street. And so I think actually the strong labor market data kind of triggered some panic selling on walls rate because of the perception that interest rates are going to go higher, and in fact, uh there was also a uh there was also a sell off in bonds that did drive interest rates a little higher. And so the you know, the the expectation is we might have hire inflation as a result of the economy heating up a bit, and that's made of

Wall Street a little skittish. So inflat but but if we have interest rates go up, I mean, won't that be good for people who are savers, right, I mean, right now, it feels for a long time, it feels like if you just try to put money in the bank or put it in a CD, you're you're getting nothing. In fact, when you add I think when you add

inflation into it, you're actually losing money. Yeah. I mean, we've been in this extraordinary period of sort of extremely low interest rates because of all the stuff that the FED did and all the money creation coming out of the financial crisis. And you know, that's been good news if you're a borrower, and in particular it's been pretty good news, uh, you know, for the banking sector, but

it's been pretty bad news for individuals. As you pointed out, if you're a saver and you're trying to get any kind of return on uh you know, we have on a c D or and savings account, it's basically been almost nothing for the past decade. And so, yeah, higher interest rates could be good news for some people if they're savers. It's generally seen as a negative though from the standpoint of the business side of things. If business borrowing costs are higher, they're not as many projects to

get green light and so forth. But you know that might be a little less important than it has been historically, given that you know, commerce's past the tax law that allows for immediate full expensing of investment on the business side. So we might see a lot more equity investment as opposed to debt financing in the business sector anyway, and it might be less sensitive to interest rates. So too early for anybody to read too much or read much at all into a massive I think it's the biggest

drop since June in the Dow Jones Industrial Average. And you know, people looking at this and it was it was blaring across all the screens. I also have to wonder if maybe it's news that isn't the memo. So I think that's probably fat. Well. Look, I mean, we had a very strong manufacturing report from I s M yesterday. The Atlanta Fed increased their GDP now forecast for this current quarter. We're in first quarter there now over five

percent in what they're forecasting. We have pretty had pretty strong labor market news this morning, and not super strong, but you know, with unemployment already at four point one, adding two hundred thousand jobs is still pretty considerable. And so I do think this is one of these situations where it's bad stock market news, but I don't really

think that it's bad economic news. More broadly, how do you think the Trump administration with the tax cut in place, is positioned in terms of overall economic growth and just the feelings that Americans will have by and large about the economy. And I think they're in really good shape because I think the Democrats and their media allies really

misplayed their hand. They went so over the top things that the tax cut bill was a disaster, we didn't all die, and yeah, when you set expectations like that, it's uh, it's it's only good if you succeed in stopping the bill and then you can dance on its grave and claim credit once it actually passed. Now, all of those absurd statements, they may are gonna be judged against reality. And you know, they convinced half of Americans their taxes were going up, and of course almost everyone

who pays taxes is seeing their taxes go down. If they haven't already seen it in their paycheck, they're going to see it in the next couple of weeks. Because I R. S is requiring the new withholding tables to be implemented. By February fifteenth, and so people are going to see the tax by go down, They're going to

see their take home pay go up. And if they're in the half of the country that was convinced by Democrats and the media the opposite would happen, they're gonna have some pretty interesting cognitive dissonance the first time they opened this paycheck and see they actually did get a

tax cut. Speaking to Phil Kirpin, who's president of American Commitment and a contributing editor for National Review Online, Phil, what does Trump need to do what we're what can he do going into this second year of his term with the mid terms already looming, to make sure that the economic growth we see is as robust and sustained as possible. Well, you know, they're going to do a big push on infrastructure. I'm kind of skeptical of the

Democrats will actually work with them on that. The one vote that I would really like to see and that the White House National Economic Council Director Gary Cohene has been pushing for, and I think Congress would be very smart to do this would be to vote to make the individual tax cuts they passed last year permanent, so the Democrats can't say, oh, well, yeah, it might looks like a good tax cut now, but you're gonna lose

it in eight years. They had to go ahead and force the vote to make it permanent, because it would be very hard for Democrats to vote against that, I think based on the way they've sort of positioned themselves politically, and if they passed that, it would take kind of one of the big talking points off the table and assure people that this tax cut is gonna last. So i'd like to see them do that. Uh you know.

I think that they've got a pretty good start on a lot of the big regulatory pieces already in the first year, but they've got to follow through on a lot of that deregulation, And in particular, i'd really like to see them get some of the regulatory reform legislation that was done early in the Congress, in the House actually through the Senate to lock in place a lot of these games on regulation and during the the Trump administration so the next Democrat can't just come back in

and snap every crazy Obama reag back in place. So I think that that really should be the focus, along with trying to make the tax cuts permanent, so permanent tax cuts and permanent deregulation in a sense. Yeah, let's lock in the games that we've made in the remarkable first year, so they so that we know they'll last. That would be my focus. Bill. Where should people go to read your latest or pick up a book. American Commitment dot org is the website, or follow me on

Twitter at Kirpin my last name k rpm Bill. Thank you so much for joining us. Have a fantastic weekend. All right, you two have a good one, alright, Team, we're going to get into uh some roll call coming up here in just a few minutes. Remember you can always send me your thoughts at Facebook dot com, slash buck sex, and also check out bucks Sexton dot com for all the latest. We'll be right back. Well, team, it's almost the weekend, and we're gonna gonna spend a

lot of time this weekend. I'm sure writing about the memo. I wrote a piece today on The Hill dot com if you want to see it, the Visor abuse memo Deep State bombshell. Um. You know, because I wanted people to read it, so I gave it a title that I feel like we'll get them to read it. If you have not, please go check it out. I think it's a good piece, lays out a lot of the arguments that I've made here today, and also the Hill will see that you've been reading it. They'd be like, oh,

people like to read Bucks stuff. I did have a piece there go completely viral a few months ago that was that was interesting. I've never seen so much focus on one editorial from from one website, but it was at least in my career. But anyway, please do check it out. It's on Facebook, dot com, slash box Sexton as well, and I very much appreciate you taking a look. I would also note that the plan is, assuming I do not collapse from exhaustion and overwork, to have the

Siege of Multipart one out on Monday. For those of you who like the history deep dives, we we at least have a few more going. I'm trying to get to ten before I take a break. I might not get there. I might stop around six or seven, but we're gonna try to get to ten and then we're gonna get back into it. But that's the that's the plan for now. But the Siege of Malta should be a really a really good episode. I think it'll be more than one part. I'm gonna figure out this weekend

whether it's gonna be two or three parts. Um, So that's coming up. Oh also tomorrow morning, those of you who tend to wake up super early on Saturday, are you happy to be up making coffee doing your thing? I will be on Fox and Friends at six fifteen am.

So hanging out on Fox and Friends talking about the deep State family Tree, which is a phrase that I will tell you I coined on Fox and Friends doing some analysis on the screen there and it has since caught on and now they often refer to the deep State family tree and they kindly give me credit for that, a little bit of I don't know, cleverness, whatever we want to call it. So, uh, here we get all of the latest on Oh sorry, we get the latest from you from Roll Call. Hit It Team Buck. It's

time for roll Call. So we got Troy right and in with the following you, Dan Bongino and Sarah Carter on Hannity together. Wow, all star cast. The Shield formation is strong today. Are you planning on having Bongino on your show tonight? Last night I caught him hosting for Levin for a bit and he did a three hour show and putting the pieces together using some solid analytical methodology, using information reported in the left wing press to connect names, dates,

and relationships. I think it was great. I think his work with your experience would be great on exploring the same data and exploring the truth. Well, Troy, thank you very much. First of all, it's great to get a chance to talk to Sean today on his show earlier in the day and have Bongino and Sarah on their two friends of mine, those two from the media business from way back when Sarah and I used to work

together on The Blaze all the time. She was a frequent panelist on a show called Real News, of which I started out as the kind of deep deep right field participant in and then eventually became the uh central anchor in, which was quite a quite a process. But Sarah was one of our all star guests there, and Dan is a is a great dude, um, and I'm just happy to see his career getting so it's getting so hot right now. I mean, he's doing a great job.

So yeah, I'd love to have them on. We actually asked Sarah today, but she has to she's literally over at Fox during the show right now. Otherwise I would have had Sarah on, but I understand, you know, TV calls you gotta do it, and Dan's got his own show to do. Otherwise we'd be happy to have him on. I think we had Dan on a couple of weeks, like a week or two ago though, right so, yeah, yeah, two weeks ago. Yeah, so Dan's look, Bongino is welcome anytime.

He knows that I like Dan and he does good analysis but so good suggestions, Troy, and thank you very much. Uh Will has the next one here. Nice work on Shawn Show with Dan and uh Dan and Sarah. He also wrote solid tweets today, been sharing via text message to all the underground conservatives and the People's Republic of Manhattan also signed up for Brandon's Create Club and use

your code Buckshot. Well. Thank you very much, Will, first for spreading the conservative word around to our fellow underground conservatives here in the People's Republic of Manhattan, and also for checking out Create Club.

Kevin, do you remember when Chuck Schumer said on the Sunday Shows that Trump can't pick a fight with the intel community because they get you seven ways

from Sunday. I wonder if he meant this, Yeah, Kevin, I think that this is a really annoying and disconcerting trend that I've seen among a lot of people on social media and the commentary world, that oh, well, if you mess with the I see the intelligence community, which we very rarely refer to it to that when you're in it, by the way, you always refer to it by your home agency. I just think it's so funny, like I would never walk around like, hey, like I'm in the i C, right, your FBI, your c i A,

your d i A, you're you know, that's you. Really it's a much more tribal culture than people outside of it can never realize. You almost have to think about it like it's like the i C is the NFL, and then all the different agencies are different teams. I mean, they're not competing against each other technically, but there's some of that too. There's a little bit of uh friendly

and sometimes not so friendly rivalry between them. I think it's funny people refer it as a community, like we have community hangouts that are all just you know, sitting out on our lawns together drink, you know, sipping on sweet tea and mint julips or something. No, no, no, that's not how it goes. But yeah, um, I do remember that, Kevin. And I think it's really disconcerting, as I said, that people seem to think that the intelligence community should ever find it appropriate to like settle the

score with the president. And I think that we've seen some people, based on the memo today, that they do take that approach. Next up on Roll Call, t j uh, you have a deep voice as is, but you sound about ten times more manly on the Hannity Show. Maybe it's just the intensity of the topic that fight's a memo, all right, t J. I'll take you, man. Thanks, I gotta i gotta lay it down here. You know, it's I'm very comfortable with all of you, so I'm not in.

When you're the guest, you gotta get right to it right away because you've only got a few minutes on air. When you're the host, you're like, yeah, you know, this weekend, I think I'm gonna you know, kick on the flip lups, go for a walk around the neighborhood. You don't maybe get myself a t bone steak, and by that I mean riby and you know, hanging out with miss Molly. You know, it's a little more relaxed because I have more time with you. But I guess I'm glad you

like the the deep voice, not the deep state. The deep voice, Danny next, Hey Buck. In case nobody's mentioned it, I noticed the last several podcasts have numerous instances of windows sounds in the background. Most notable are the sounds of a USB device being plugged and unplugged. I thought your staff would like to know, Shields high, what is she talking about with you guys, crashing windows or something? Windows sounds? Yeah, well, I'm looking at you, you two.

Nothing all right. We're gonna have a full on inquisition later. Someone's gonna get a code red for the I'm just kidding. We would never do that for the windows sounds. I gotta look at I need to know if he means the History podcasts or something else, because if it's the History podcast then it's uh and that's all on me. And I gotta figure that out. But you know, I don't know. I don't know what I can do to fix that. Uh, let's see, we got Greg. I'm about

two important facts to add to the current debate. I R S harassment of conservative groups adds to a pattern of agency corruption under Obama. Where else did it exist? I'm sure there are other agencies. So let me just say, Greg, I don't know if you saw when I was on the Brett Bear panel earlier this week. Brett Air Show on Fox is one of my favorites. He's that's a great show. They have really top guests, and Breach just does a he says, he's just as good as it

gets in the business of news. And but I did throw in there, and much of people heard it because the Washington Post columnist who was sitting next to me said something like, I don't know, he was saying something that I did not particularly like or agree with, and I just tossed in there. Well, you know what about the I R S. I mean this, this whole idea that has been one of the central defenses of FBI d o J conduct here, that they're beyond reproach is

complete nonsense. In recent memory, we had the politicized targeting of conservatives by the I R S under the Obama administration without any real consequences for anyone involved. They lied to us about it, they hit it, and then they did everything they could to downplay the story. And that's a fact. This is the those are facts. That's just what is on the record. So I think that's uh very important to point out. He also wrote love your show and UH Shields High podcast. Keep up the good work,

Thank you very much. Greg. I'm trying. I'm busy these days, man. I haven't gotten to work out in the last couple of days. I'm starting to a job of the buck over here. I gotta get I gotta get back into the you know, I gotta, like I said, I'm fighting the dad body and tell him a dad that's the plan because once that's the one of the upsides of being a dad, right easy get to say, all right, full embrace of the dad bod. No shame in that game that's coming up. That's this is my that's my

excuse this weekend to eat French fries. I tend to eat French fries in the weekends, sometimes more than once a day, which I realize is really decadent. But sometimes you need with brunch, sometimes you need it with dinner. You know, I don't know what else to tell you. That's gonna be it for me. From the Freedom Hunt for this edition of My Friends. Download those podcasts, uh, the History one and also this show. Have a great weekend. I'll see you Monday. As always, Shields High
