Are we finally going to get the answers we need about spying on the Trump campaign and what some of those Obama administration holdovers were really plotting all along. Plus the North Korea's summit. They're saying it's in jeopardy, but are they just trying to root for

failure here? And a follow up to Starbucks deciding that all of its various locations will be turned into the equivalent of a public restroom in a bathroom. Uh, we'll talk more about that coming up. This is the bus Sexton Show, where the mission or mission is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. Make no mistakes, American rank, You're a great American Again The Buck Sexton Show begins. Dame Buck, what is going on? What a day? What

a day? Great to have you here with me. Welcome to the Freedom, Welcome to the Buck Sexton Show. An honor of privilege and a pleasure. As always, it has been been quite a week. We are we're seeing more and more very interesting things come together here. After so many months of coverage and discussion over just what the deep state was up to with regard to Trump, They're running out of room to maneuver. I think they running out of delay tactics, and I think they're also running

out of lies. That's gonna be very difficult for them because there's really not that much more that they can come up with and try to prevent us from finding out the truth. Increasingly, it seems I think an inescapable conclusion, meaning that you you could not look at this with an honest mind, You could not look at this as a person of integrity and come away thinking anything other

than Wow. There were very senior bureaucrats, That's what we're talking about here, bureaucrats in the federal government who took it upon themselves to bail out Hillary and stop Trump at all costs. That's it. This should not be nearly as controversial an opinion at this point as it seems to be, considering that I think in the last election you had of civil service donations, the federal government went to Hillary or went or went to a Democratic theset

Hillary or Bernie. This is huge campus level ideological infiltration and control. Once you start to see the federal government through that lens of wow, you mean that most of the bureaucrats who work in the federal government are in fact pro Hillary pro doesn't mean all and I'm basing this on donations to the campaigns everything. This is not fool proof, but there's clearly a problem. There is clearly a tendency among these bureaucrats to go for the party

of the state. The Democrat Party is the party of the state. So if you are working for the state in a big essense, if you are a statist ideologically, it stands to reason that you would want to support the political party that believes in enlarging the state, giving it more authority, allowing to take more of people's tax dollars, more of their stuff, and bind them with further regulation on everything all the time. Right that the solution to

everything is government. The answer everything has to be a government regulation, mandate, or law. So it's not surprising when you start to extrapolate, when you start to think this through. There are so many people that work for the government that are really all about Hillary that she is. In fact, they're preferred candidate. And that's the way that this went in. At the very highest levels. You had former Obama administration

officials who were quite involved in all of this. We now know that there was an actual human spy leveled against Trump administration. I mean, that's been out there for a few days, but it's increasingly clear. Oh but but don't think that the Democrats, we're gonna come clune on this until they absolutely had to write. You get Adam Schiff, you know him. He goes on TV to just say whatever the MSNB see watching Crab wants him to say.

Here's a little bit of a flashback too, before we could, without any real doubts, say that there was some human intelligence operation being run by the US federal government against a presidential campaign. Here's what shift was saying about a

place too that's claimed by the present. Suggestion by Juliani that there is a political spy embedded in the Trump campaign is nonsense, and you hear it in the same terms that Trump often speaks, which is people are saying, or I'm hearing, or we're being told that's another way of saying, this is patently untrue, true, but we would like to spread it anyway. Uh. And it's singlely destructive of our institutions. But then that's the point. These people

don't care about our institutions. As a means of supporting principles of limited government, separation of powers, the Constitution. They care about the stranglehold on the levels of hour in the federal government in these institutions that the Democrat Party has. That's what they can and they want to maintain that power. They don't want to relinquish their grip on the levels of control. What do we make now if people like shift, he's what on the House Intelligence Committee? He's supposed to

know stuff? So is he just out there lying? Remember whether it's Schiff or Clapper or Brandan, there are a lot of these guys comey who have decided to make a lot of public pronouncements about this that I've turned out to be false, whether knowingly or not. We could dive into the specifics, but they also could just be professionals.

They could just be quiet. You know, I promise you you will never see General Jim Mattis in the months after he leaves as Secretary of Defense, whether it's in a year or in six going after the sitting president United States, suggesting the sitting president United States is somehow a trader, is untrustworthy, is a criminal? You know how? I know that because the Secretary Defense is a warrior,

an honorable man, and a professional. But what does that tell us about some of these Obama acolytes who are acting like they've just been aspiring CNN pundits for you know, their whole lives, and now finally they get the big job. Right. Forget about being the Director of National Intelligence like Clapper, forget about being the CIA director like Brannan, or the FBI director like Comey. The job they really want is to be patted gently on the head by Anderson Cooper.

Is to get an out of boy from Jake Tapper. Uh, this is you want to talk about institutions, This is destroying I mean ce IA, institution I used to work for, is destroying these institutions. They are within the executive branch. Another thing we have to talk about here. They are

within the executive branch. Does every president now have to assume that if there's anyone who was appointed by his predecessor from the other party, that he or she, as a sitting president, may be subjected to the Trump effect where anything goes leagues, criminal leagues. You know, as long as it hurts the sitting president, people will do it. Brennan, Comey, Clapper. They have a responsibility, a higher responsibility than just getting a lot of retweets from left wing activists and the

mainstream media. They have a higher responsibility than being revered heroes of the hashtag resistance. By the way, you know who another revered hero the hashtag resistance was Schneiderman from New York State. How did that go for you, Samantha B and company? You know, Schneiderman as hero. Maybe people need to slow their role a little bit, not buy into the nonsense running some of these self serving, glorified bureaucrats,

which is what we are often dealing with here. So with all of that said, now we now we see that the Department of Justice, despite all the editorials and all the stuff that's being said, is in fact under the care and oversight, the authority and oversight of the executive branch and Congress. I was seeing all this stuff, you know, from feine Stein and Brandon and all the independence of the New York Times, washingtonst The independence of the d J is is that at stake here? How

So Trump wanted to have a meeting yesterday. Christopher Ray was their FBI director, Rosenstein the deputy By the way, you know, it's really a shame that not only the Special Counsel but it's a shame that you had Jeff Sessions attorney general. You know, you know, I like him. We appreciate when Jeff calls in, but it's a shame

that he recused himself. I know you can say, Buck, it was the ethical thing to do, but under the circumstances, I think the ethics were a lot more complicated than allow the Democrats to run a get Trump at all cost campaign via the d o J and used the Special Counsel's authority special Counsel's tools to get after Trumpet

all the rest of them. By way, I'm seeing this year it just broke actually, I think while I'm on air, UM, Michael Cohen's business partner, Eve Guinny Friedman agrees to cooperate as part of a plea deal. This is all coritesies of CNBC. So Freedman is a Cohen's business partner. He's agreed to cooperate with federal and state prosecutors. One is under criminal investigation. So I'm trying to see if you know this is about maybe the taxi stuff. We're not

really sure. Freedman was arrested last June on charges that he and another business partner stole more than five million dollars in state search charges that are imposed on taxi rides in New York City, but the amount of taxes he pleaded guilty to evading was much less than that, just fifty dollars. So they must think that they've got him on something against Cohen. Here's what I see happening.

Here's how I see this playing out. They're they're gonna bring charges against Cohen most likely, and they're gonna have nothing to do with Russia collusion. Once again. They're just gonna get Cohen on something, and they're gonna turn around and just say, see, he's a criminal, See he broke the law. Trump where they're smoked, there's fire, all these bad people, and then those of us were looking at this with clearer eyes, we'll say, well, hold on a second.

Once again, you have a massive prosecutorial operation that is looking for people to convict, that has near unlimited investigatory power. If you've been in contact with Donald Trump in the last ten years, you could all of a sudden find yourself or his campaign, find yourself in the crosshairs of this investigation. And they're racking up prosecution after prosecution for non Russia collusion related crimes for for generally speaking, very mickey mouse low level crimes, you know, lying about a

meeting or lying about a phone call or something. And you cannot help but see this and compare it to the treatment that Hillary Clinton and her cronies got from this not just the same Department of Justice, but the same people in the d J. So if people want to play the Michael Cohen's a criminal, therefore look at Trump. He has criminals around him, he must be a criminal too. I just want to say Hillary was Hillary is a criminal,

and not just because of the emails. Folks. There a lot of different ways I could have brought charges against Hillary. The emails were just you know, this is the equivalent of Hillary Clinton getting caught with, you know, a big bag full of drugs somewhere and they're like, well, you know, they're not she didn't really. Yeah she had the bag, but it wasn't really her bag, you know, because somehow somebody else had possession or something. I mean, they're just

refusing to force the law. So this is why they're they're gonna see the Cohen prosecution as all. It proves everything we're saying. It's so dirty, and you and I are gonna look at this and say, what what are we even talking about here? TAXI cab uh, tax issues? Who the heck cares? What does this have to do with you or me? And by the way, anyone who knows anything about prosecutors and their powers and their ability, especially at the federal level, knows if they want to

get you, they can get you. It is very unusual for somebody who has complicated business relationships and business dealings to not be at least somewhat vulnerable just on the tax issue if they want to make an example of you.

I know, I have a friend who was a federal prosecutor for years and years and then was in private practice, and he told me a story about a friend of his who was facing three years in federal prison for essentially attack shelter that not only did he think was legal, but that he had legal opinions telling him were completely legal. And a federal prosecutor goes, well, he's some rich guy. We're gonna make an example of him. Sorry, we read

the statute another way. Yeah, that's the reality of what Muller and the rest of his team have at their disposal. And so that's where the fact that they're gonna jam up how In doesn't really mean anything other than they're gonna ruin this guy's life if they can. That's what they're gonna do, unless, of course, well I was gonna say Trump pardons In. But that's ah, that's why they're getting the state prosecutors involved here. That's a that's an

interesting addition here. They're intentionally making sure that they're trying to because sometimes there's a gray area because it's the federal case is a state case. They're gonna make sure they have some of this stuff ready to go at the state level so they can hit him with charges the president can't pardon him for you watch you watch that's coming eight four four to five eight four Buck,

We have so much more team, stay with me. This is a multi year effort that has two different fronts, and people need to always remember that one front was protecting, propping up, covering up for Bill and Hillary Clinton. The other front, well, as as Trump became more and more serious, the other front was to stop Trump at any cost. Now, I believe that the reason you see people like Sally hs Goberg Cirque, you see John Brennan gober cerc you

see General Clapper gober they're all guilty. When you see somebody in the Obama team who gets that rattled and is that angry, what you know is they're scared to death that they're gonna get drawn into all this and their role is going to come out and it will involve I think felonies, and frankly, I suspect it reaches to the President Obama. We've seen the less they come up with, the more they investigate instead of the opposite. And there doesn't seem to be a real concrete intelligence

origin for this investigation. And without a foundation, one wonders, what did we spend an entire year on? What did we disrupt? Everyone who was in the campaign, everyone who was in the administration. And I think this thing is just playing wrong. It's got to be ended and stopped. Let's throw the dirt in there too while we're out of play. Clip one, This was a legitimate investigator. I mean,

you have no evidence that it wasn't. Let's find out there was ample evidence of collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign. Now what you're saying is there was already evidence of collusion, so it was legitimate to put on an informer in the FBI. I want to know what the evidence was. No judges found probable cause. I think the American public has to be assured that there was a basis. There's not enough for Jeffrey Tubman to say

there was collusion already at that time. I want to know what the facts were to justify that they want to hide the facts they want on this. I wrote about this today on the Hill dot com that they very clearly are trying to be in control of who has access to the information that they then will turn around and tell us, Oh, the stuff that we can't show you is what our justification is for spying on a presidential campaign. Folks, we're talking about now going on

two years ago. What are they holding onto this stuff for? They're keeping this behind closed doors for sore is a methods that's a lie. That's a lie. Classification is often used by those in government who want to keep what they've done out of public view. It's just the truth. It's not supposed to be the case, but it often is on any politically sensitive matter. It is a huge temptation for the state, and that's what we see happening here. Um,

I'm completely and utterly exasperated with all of this. Oh, the d o J doesn't have it, doesn't shouldn't have to give over this information because because what they don't want to. I'm sorry, Just because it may embarrass Comie Rosenstein, Yates, Brennan, Clapper, whomever, doesn't mean that the American people don't have a right to it. In fact, we have an even bigger right to it. He's holding the line for America, Buck Sexton

his back. Yeah, it's inconceivable that President Obama could have had this many things going on and not known it because his administration was very controlling and very tight. And I think we're going to discover all this stuff in the end ends up at the Obama White House and has the President and his senior staff's fingerprints all over it. It's rapidly becoming the biggest and the most sobering political

scandal in American history. I gotta agree with Nude on that one, at least on the Obama component of all this stuff. We're going to find out that Obama was way more involved in this than anybody up to this point has been willing to say much out loud or and we've been able to prove. But it certainly seems likely that Obama is very involved. In fact, it seems like it would be impossible for him not to be. Remember, Brennan was very tight with Obama before he was CEI director.

He was Obama's counter terrorism czar. I don't like that term, right, but Obama's kind of terrorism advisor at the White House. Uh. The people that we've seen that are very much involved in either the Hillary email investigation or the Trump Russia collusion debacle, people ties to the Obama White House and ties to Obama himself. There's just no way. And we've seen some reporting on this. You know, they can only shape the narrative so much. There's been some reporting that shows, oh,

this was being run through the White House. That's what Peter Struck said and one of his text messages the FBI agent when he was talking to his mistress Lisa Page. Right, it's being running of the White House. M hmm. I wish I had it with me. I don't right now. But there's a whole analysis of how some of the recent New York Times pieces and all the Russia collusion stuff are in act riddled with errors, just riddled with them,

errors all over the place. Uh, and the kind of errors that are intentional, right, making it seem like Struck was suggesting there would be no leaks, when in fact, the context of what he was writing to Page showed that he was very worried about leaks or that he

expected leaks about what they were doing. Looking at the at the Trump campaign, this is all obviously very very political, and it's it's amazing when you think about how Democrats have chosen to fight on the battleground of Russia collusion and the propaganda that surrounds it, instead of making this an issue, making this about the I mean the issues. It sounds like I'm, you know, running for local dog catcher.

There should be the issues, but running on policies that are post Trump, they're really not concerns, particularly with non Trump policies. Very hard for them to say much about the economy, because the economy is better now than when Obama was in office, full stop. Very hard for them to say that the world's ending, because it hasn't ended. We'll talk about North Korea, the summit. You know, people are having so much fun analyzing something that hasn't even

happened yet. You know, this is turning into like the five hour pregame analysis show before some of these football, uh football games, you see where you're just like, Okay, there's only so many ways you can talk about the the game before. We just need to see what happens in the game. I think we're entering that territory with some of what's going on here on North Korea, but

I'll get to that in the next hour. Ah. This is and I mean, does anyone really think at this point we're not going to find out that there were very senior Obama figures who were well aware of what they were doing and we're working against, working against the Trump campaign and using their government positions to get there. I think it's just beyond obvious. Uh. Joe Di Genova goes specifically after Yates, Brennan Comy. You guys all know this.

I've been saying Yates for a long time because what she did with the you know, her role in the whole Logan Act, General Flynn ambush, and you know, she has been a partisan hit woman against Trump's people from the get go and the whole Oh, I'm not going to enforce the travel ban on select Muslim states, even though she was the acting Attorney General, as she was an Obama partisan. I'm you're gonna there's more from her telling you she's not just angling for a CNN contributorship.

She's actually she is hashtag resistance through and through. But Dijonova sees this in very similar terms to me play six. She watched someone like Sally Yates complained about the rule of law, when she and Brennan and Comy and others destroyed the rule of law. It is going to take a decade to rebuild the public trust in the FBI

and the Department of Justice. The disgraceful performance of her, and of course even more disgraceful John Brennan, who led a conspiracy against the campaign of the opposing party's presidential nominee and then when he won, did everything they could to frame him and his compatriots with false crimes. It is the greatest political scandal in American history, and shame on Sally Yates and shame on John Brennan. Very important the I I think his whole rant there was bought on,

but very important point that he raises. You know, it's one thing to play dirty, all right, it's not good. Not okay. It's one thing to play dirty, it's it's an even worse than though two as part of your dirty tricks, trying to make it seem like somebody else is the bad guy. Right. You know, if if you want to, like, you know, break into the bank, that's bad. But that's on you. If you weren't breaking the bank and you're gonna pain it on somebody else, it's even worse.

And what we're seeing from those senior Obama figures, and we should think of them in that context. These are people that they're coming coming in out of the White House all the time, they're briefing President Obama. What let me ask you this question too, And I know we're bounced around something. There's so much to cover your there's

so much to sink our teeth into. What issue in the summer of twenty six, going into that election, mere months from Obama's lame duck status, what national security issue could have been more front of mind for Obama's national security team. Then this effort that they're conjuring up of Russia and Trump and all this, you're gonna tell me that they weren't they weren't bringing this to Obama's attention.

I'll also tell you that if they were ever doing any of that in the context of a PDB briefing, for example, Presidents Daily briefing, you're you're never gonna find

out about that. No court will ever, no court will ever force them to disclose it that they're gonna They are ironclad with so so there is already a channel built in for Obama's top intel people to fill him in on all of this, and there is an absolute zero percent chance of that being disclosed unless somebody in the meeting decided to do that, and they would actually be breaking the law. Notice how Comy and CNN and McCabe. You know, they'll all talk about what they're briefing the

briefing President Trump on. There will be some discussion about CNN needs a news hook, right, We've also seen that. But there was a there was an ironclad channel for covert communication between Obama's top intel officials and then sitting President Obama that could have I'm not saying it did. I don't know. I wasn't in the room, and we have no way of finding out, but just understand that it was wide open. There So this idea that Obama wasn't informed of what was going on here, it's just

not plausible. It's just not plausible. Remember when d and I Clapper wild goes are this should happen, are known about it, I can deny it. You remember that whole thing. Not the best Clapper impression, but you know close enough, and uh, this is something that the president absolutely we don't know about. Okay. But one other thing here. I've been discussing this with you for the for the last few weeks, and we're seeing it come to fruition, and

that is they are losing ground there. They're losing the patience of the American people. I can't speak to the crazy who just you know, they they think that, uh, any day now that Trump is gonna get frog marched out of the White House and he's like Putin's best friend. And I can't speak to crazy, or at least I won't speak to crazy right now. Sorry, Crazy, where where

you're doing? Um can't do it. I can't do it. Uh. But I do know that for most Americans who are paying attention to trying to be honest about what's going on here, they are losing patience with all of the shenanigans and the mistruth, the half truth, the the false explanations, and just just all of this when it comes to

this whole investigation around Trump. I mean, if they don't have something, now, are we really supposed to believe they're they're going to find some bombshell in the next few months. They've already go and through the financial records, they're interviewing everybody.

Why we all know they want an interview of Trump so badly so they can force a perjury trap and then create a constitutional crisis of can we can we bring charges against the president for perjury that he should not have been subjected to in the first place by a subordinate government official and a subordinate agency, which is what the Special Council is. Is this, you know, this is what we think is really supposed to happen, or this is good for the country. But they're losing ground,

they're losing momentum. They know that, and that's why you have people like Lawrence Tribe. But by the way, is he's a professor at Harvard Law School. Every time I see this guy's name pop up and I see his analysis right here, him speaking, I'm like, well, that's just wrong. It's not even that he strikes me as incorrect so much as just sloppy. But he can't really believe this. Uh he's a rank partisan, no question about that. But he understands that they've got to move fast on going

on offense. Democrats have to get on offense against Trump soon because they are losing the initiative here because anyone who's paying attention to saying this whole thing is not working out the way that they said it would. But here's how Laurence Tribe of Harvard University put this into words.

Play eight. If the evidence that Robert Mueller is collecting forms a kind of compelling case that a overwhelming bipartisan majority of the American people find convincing that this guy is just too dangerous to keep in power, then we do have the emergency power of impeachment available, But it will be available only if we don't use it loosely and kind of ring the bell every time something looks amiss. You can't use it over and over again against the

same president. If you're gonna shoot him, you've got to shoot the pill. Now. I know he's not making a thread against the president as Harvard law professor. But we all know that if it wasn't President Trump and you went on TV and you said something like that, be a lot of trouble, right, Like, there'd be big problems, probably gonna visit from the Secret Service, all that stuff. Right. But with Trump, there's different rules. This is true, not just what you say on TV. This is true with

everything with Trump. The rules are different. This is the world we're operating in now. H Lie, cheat, steal, sell your integrity, do whatever you want. As long as you are against Trump, there are people who will come to your defense. They will justify what you're doing. They will have your back. So it's a dispiriting set of circumstances. But on the upside, I want to give you a a little positive here. Deep State can't hide that much longer.

We're gonna get more of this information. We're gonna see and and eventually what will become all too clear is that it's not just that they exaggerated the case of Russia collusion. They really fabricated it knowingly and willfully. That's legal language that you use before you actual start charging people. Just saying we'll be right back, play a team, my friend, my specific concern deals with the Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. I think Mr Rosenstein is deeply conflicted. I think that

in many cases he is playing Jeff Sessions. I think Jeff Sessions has been functionally, uh, you know, set off into a corner at the Justice Department on these critical issues. I don't think that there was a legal or factual basis for his recusal, and I think that it's really

hurt the country. Oh man, you know, I like Attorney General Sessions, but think about what would happen if you had if you had somebody who took the approach as attorney general for Trump, that say, Eric Holder took for Obama, or Lauretta Lynch for that matter. But Eric Holder a perfect example of this. Eric Holder's number one job in his own mind as the Attorney General was to watch Obama's back. Now you can say, Buck, it should be

rule of law, that's not I understand all that. But Eric Holder was Obama's man at the d J right. He he was his guy on the ground running things and making sure that there were no legal threats to the Obama white House. There were no legal scandals that would that would come up that would be an issue,

and Trump doesn't have that. He got Rosenstein and a Muller and a bunch of other so called comy you know, former Republicans who are never Trump Republicans who are running amuck and causing real problems for the administration, real us to the White House. It's not It's just not fair. It's not right. And I kind of wish that there was a a pit bull, a conservative pit bull, at the top of the d o J who could get

involved here. I don't think any of us have any doubt that if you had somebody who, I mean, what were they gonna pretend that the president's appointee doesn't try to protect the president's interests. Come on, right, we're all adults here. We all know, we all know how the game is played, how this goes, I manage if you had somebody I don't know, if you had Rudy Rudy Juliani as the Attorney general, even maybe that wouldn't be great for some other reasons, but wouldn't after wouldn't recuse

himself because of Russia collusion, that's for sure. And the Rosenstein and and Mueller crowd have a much freer hand then they otherwise would because Jeff Sessions a step aside. And that's how you can have them stone stonewalling and and slow rolling and engaged in all of this obfiscation and bureaucratic you know, tiptoeing or tiptoeing around and pretending everything has to be so secret because there's not somebody to drop the hammer and say no, we're gonna get

the truth. I know they're having this meeting, you know that they're supposed to get you a very top secret meeting together, and they look at all this stuff. But I wouldn't be surprised if you saw d o J still try to withhold someome information. In fact, what you've seen in recent weeks is that Republicans who meet with d o J half the deal with d o J based leaks about the meeting afterwards so that the narrative can get out there first. That's most favorable to the

anti Trump side. I mean this, folks, it's just all a political food fight, it really is. And one side is just been cheating the whole It's a political food fight. On one side is acting like it's you know, uh, an existential issue for the republic all the time. And that's why they've started the fight. But man, they really wanted Hillary to win. I guess I don't know. They really can't handle trumps Um at all. We gotta speak

up North Korea coming up. It's not that much to say about it, but I'll say what needs to be said, and so I think you want to stick around for that, plus maybe some Iran talk and a follow up on Starbucks and it's public restrooms that's coming up. So I've got a story for you team. I just met our new video editor today at the project I'm working on. And do you know how we found this very talented young woman to come and work with us Zip recruiter

dot com. That's right, we use zip recruiter. We posted the job online, we went to zip recruiter dot com and we were able to find somebody who fit our needs perfectly. She couldn't be happier and we couldn't be happier. And the whole process was so straightforward and easy. I was using the interface and I'm not a very tech savvy guy. I'm also somebody who doesn't have a whole lot of patients for waiting through resumes that are no good. But you know what, Zip recruiter has an algor of them,

This is the Buck Sexton Show. Analysts. No, we're moving along and we'll see what happens. There are certain conditions that we want and I think we'll get those conditions, and if we don't, we don't have the meeting. And frankly, it has a chance to be a great, great meeting for North Korea and a great meeting for the world. I will say I'm a little disappointed because when Kim Jong un had the meeting with President she in China, the second meeting, the first meeting, we knew about the

second meeting. I think there was a little change in attitude from Kim Jong un, so I don't like that. I don't like that. I will guarantee his safety. Yes, we will guarantee his safety, and we've talked about that from the beginning. He will be safe, he will be happy, His country will be rich, His country will be hardworking and very prosperous. They're very great people. They're hard working, great people. Will the summit happen? As playing President Trump?

They're talking a lot about this whole North Korea situation, which I would know. Jimmy Carter came out and said that Trump may, in fact, if he manages two a great deal with North Korea, he would be worthy of a Nobel Peace Prize, which I would also know that. Trump has responded, I think already and said, you know what, I think that the deal is the most important part. It doesn't really matter he gets the Nobel Peace Prize.

But we're a long way from that. I've been telling you all along fifty fifty shot at best that the meeting even goes well, meaning that there's anything that comes out of it that we could care about or celebrate. Most likely scenario, North Korea makes demands we refuse, they keep their nukes status quo grinds on. That's what's most likely happened. But if there's somebody who could break us out of this, uh, this inertia, I think it would

have to be President Trump. If there's someone who is able to take on the conventional wisdom, flip it on its head, shake it out, and make something happen here, President Trump's is good as as good a case for this as as anybody I think could be. So we

will see. I have to just note that the analysis that comes out whenever there's even the most minor setback in advance of these negotiations are just it's just all, oh, Trump's you know, he's such a fool, he has no idea you Oh, here we go, Vanity fairer as a piece, Trump is just a moron. How the President played himself on North Korea. Now you might say, any buck Vanity fair who cares what they say about anything? And I respond to you, correct, random team buck friend that I'm

pointing out here. But this gives you a sense of where the media is on the issue of how this summit with Trump is gonna go. Uh. They they would like to see it not happen. They would rather North Korea continue to be a society it locked in totalitarianism and violence and poverty and despair, then have an opening. If that opening for North Korea entailed some kind of proud moment for Trump himself, that's where we are with

all this, that's they're thinking. So I think that's problematic, and I think that it's worth pointing out that they are rooting against the country. As I have said, now, what's gonna happen with North Korea? We simply don't know. Uh, they could change, you know, anything we agree to today could be changed tomorrow. Anything that seems like it's forward progress now could be erased in a day. But they've got to do what they can to set the groundwork.

And I think I was on Fox maybe last week and I said that this is really a three per It's really a three party negotiation. You could say it's a four party negotiation. It's not Um and Kim Jong un. It's not the US and North Korea. It's the United States, North Korea, South Korea, China, maybe Japan gets in there too. Those are the parties that are really pushing this thing in a meaningful way, that have interest that will affect the outcome, and China specifically, think about how this plays

out for them. They really don't want a North Korea that has elections. Think about the message that this would send inside of China. North Korea finally strikes some deal with America and over the process of a period of a few years. I don't know, I'm just I'm moving this thing forward down the line here. Right, over a period or a few years, they have some form of political liberalization. And this is fantasy land stuff, don't get me wrong, but it's possible. Chinese have to be aware

of it. And then you have two you get your first North Korean election, and there's also newfound prosperity and rights and all the good things that come with rule of law and a liberal society. Right, What the heck is the Chinese Communist Party gonna say to Chinese citizens at that point time? How's that going to look for them?

Because the whole oh yeah, we brought you prosperity, shut up, which is what China China's Communist Party basically says to the one billion plus people of that country right now, you know, you better like our prosperity or else. And that becomes a less sailable proposition. If North Korea all of a sudden goes from being this impoverished backwater to a state that I'm not it's not going to turn

into Switzerland overnight, probably ever. But when you look at what happened in South Korea, it's like an economic miracle. Sure it took a few generations, but South Korea is very advanced, very prosperous, you know, liberal the mock to see all that stuff, same land, mass folks, same people, same language. What's the difference in North and South Korea? Political ideology, the political system, the state, that's the difference. And if that so, that's already an experiment that the

Chinese don't particularly like. They prefer having a North Korea that is dependent on them, that is under their thumb, and that is a bulwark against American ideology, economic ties, everything else right there. They want a buffer, and North Korea is the buffer. So so their interests in our interests are not quite the same. And and China's hand in all of this, everyone knows it's very important. I get that. How are the Chinese really gonna play this out?

I don't think they want to deal with America and North Korea under any circumstances. I really don't um. I'm not sure you'd ever find that out in public, you know, I don't think the Chinese leadership will ever say it like that. But China prefers the status quo. This is a country that has a one child policy, a country that does force sterilization, an abortion. I mean, China has got a very Chinese governm's got a very dark soul. There's a lot of really bad stuff that's going on

in that country in recent decades. It's been papered over with the massive increase in the standard of living for hundreds of millions of people. And we know there are Chinese billionaires now, which must have seemed like crazy talk, you know, even twenty or thirty years ago. But the character of the Chinese state is uh. It still needs a lot of a lot of work, and it's something that you can't discount when you're looking at how this is gonna play out with Trump and North Korea and

these other other parties that are involved here. They do not feel bad that. When I say they, I don't mean the Chinese people. I mean the Chinese Communist Party doesn't particularly care about the suffering of North Korean people at all. All they're thinking about is geopolitics, great game strategy stuff, and they do not want a unified Korean peninsula that is pro American, pro Western and liberalized with elections.

That becomes a threat to the Chinese Party's group on power that this this gets into some pretty scary stuff quickly. So when Trump is saying that there's a second meeting with Shijin Ping, and then after that meeting, Kim Jong LUN's approach, mentality, his vibe on all this has changed somewhat, It's not surprising. And this is the you know, unknown unknown what was said behind those closed doors. What does China really want here? That plays a huge factor in

all of this. With the negotiations, Trump understands that there's economic incentive staffer here though, I mean they're there are ways to sweeten this deal. I think they're ways to get around some of the hurdles. Here's what he said about actually some of that economic liberalization. A play clip nine South Korea, China, and Japan. And I've spoken to

all three one I happen to have right here. They will be willing to help, and I believe invest very very large sums of money into helping to make North Korea great now. People are given this, you know, they're they're being really harder than President and all Trump wants to make North Korea great again, how do they expect him to approach negotiations with a foreign power, foreign country. This is a similar thing I see whenever it comes to Trump and poot is he just supposed to be

insulting all the time, just supposed to be nasty. Let's talk about how how bad that country is. Terrible they are. You know, that doesn't strike me as a productive strategy, doesn't strike me as an effective way to go about any of this. M play clib ten. Actually, North Korea has a chance to be a great country. And it can't be a great country under the circumstances that they're living right now. But North's career has a chance really to be a great country, and I think they should

seize the opportunity. And we'll soon find out whether or not they want to do that. He doesn't say they have a chance to be a great country next week or next year. But from what we see with South Korea, there's every reason to believe that if the political situation changed in the North, that that they could be on a trajectory to to prosperity and happiness and much better stuff than what they've got right now, that's for sure. But the media is piling on all make make North

Korea great again. You know Kim Jongo and the founding father, he's basically George Washington. I mean, you know, this is the stuff that you can expect from a stuff you can expect from a left wing media that is really and thinks that Trump is a greater tyrant and a greater threat than Kim Jong un. That would actually be a fascinating study. I should probably just walk around k Street here. I should just walk around downtown d C and ask people will be kind of a fun thing.

Who is a bigger threat to world peace? And I wouldn't be asking like just anyone on any street in the country. This would be this is right near the White House where all the shady swamp dealings are going on, or not all of them, but a lot of them. Who do you think is the greater threat to world peace? Trump or Kim Jong Gun? A lot of people with high levels of education, high income earners, with political connections.

I wouldn't guarantee it, because that maybe gets wrong. I would be willing to bet, though a lot of them would say it's Trump. Trump is a greater threat than Kim Jong Gun. And if you ask who's more authoritarian, you might even get some random passers by on the street who vote for Clinton or Bernie Sanders to say that Trump has a big authoritarian even than Kim John Gun. I wouldn't be surprised. I can't guarantee it, but I wouldn't be surprised. This is what Trump's arrangement syndrome does.

It disconnects people from the reality of what's actually going on in the world around them, particularly here at home, where you gotta love this while all this stuff is going on Russia, collusion, North Korea and all these different storylines, and they're trying to just bash Trump, bash Trump all the time, saying that he intentionally has his staff put typos in his tweets because you know, Trump people are so dumb the whole thing. You see this all the time.

Now all that's gonna Meanwhile, I just saw a poll that GOP generic ballot at this stage mid terms looming doing better than Democrats, and as you know, the party out of power is supposed to do well in the mid term. You could see forget blue wave, you could have a red surge, my friends, and it would make it would make perfect sense to me why that would

be the case. I I show up to this this uh studio, should I come into the Freedom and every night and I'm just I'm ready to dive into the arguments over policy that Democrats want, and they don't make them. It's not happening. There is no effort right now in the media to do anything other than discredit and destroy Trump as a person and tear down his administration. They're not offering better ideas, they're not offering better deals, they're

not offering new deals. They're just saying Trump is the worst. He's the worst, He's the worst. They've learned nothing since nothing I even saw last night. Uh. I was just looking at kill some time for a few minutes, let my brain rest. Turn on Comedy Central and the Trevor Noah guy comes on a Comedy Central just not not a funny guy at all. I mean, I wish somebody would give me a job where I make millions of

dollars that I'm bad at. That sounds like fun. Uh, and then I haven't earned but you know, in the way of being successful and then getting a big job. Uh. They did something though, on how translators like U N translators and others don't like Trump. I'm like, oh, this is great, guys, this is good. You should run this a campaign ads for the midterms. Foreigners who are doing translation at the United Nation or just people in general who are doing translation at the United Nations, they don't

like Trump. And you think this is worthy of a comedy segment because they're making fun of what it's like to translate what Trump says in real language. They've learned nothing since. In fact, they've just doubled down on that failure. Eight four or four buck eight four, eight to five. Let's talk Iran and how that deal is gonna go

coming up. I love canines of all shapes and sizes, but you know they can all dig, and once they start getting under your fence, you've got a problem because if they get outside, now you've got a safety hazard. They can run out in the street. They could just run away, and now you've got to find your up. Guess what, there is a solution for you. You can stop dogs from digging under the fence. With dig Defense, it's all you need. Dig Defense keeps your furry kids safe.

Ared's wayfair and stop the dig dot com. That's right, you can go online stop the dig dot com now to solve that problem of pets digging under your fence

and getting out. Dig Defense Senator Schumer re leieves called it a wet goodle solution. What's the White House's response to that criticism. Like I've said a few times before, Senator Schumer is not somebody this White House is probably ever gonna take advice from on how to negotiate or get a good deal on anything, particularly based on his track record and certainly I think his weakness when it

comes to China. We finally have a president who's actually uh calling out China on their unfair trade practices, and not just calling them out, but actually doing something about it and aggressively pushing forward in negotiations, something that we haven't seen uh in decades, And so Senator Schumer is probably the last person we would call and ask for on how to make a deal. It's not just Senator Schumer.

A lot of a lot of folks, A lot of folks out there seem to think that they're in a position Democrats, they're in a position to give all kinds of advice two Trump and his people about how to

approach foreign policy issues negotiations. In general, the Obama administration was full of people who did not know what the heck they were doing, did not have the experience that they would have needed to be good at their jobs, and was just full of a lot of a lot of happy talk and nonsense, a lot of resume puffery without anyone actually being able to deliver the goods. I mean. On foreign policy, the Obama administration was an abject failure. You look at every region of the world with the

United States had an active national security interest. That was a problem, and the problem got worse while Obama was there, well, well while Obama was in office, not while he was actually physically there. Libya worse, Syria worse, Iraq worse, Afghanistan worse, Russia worse, China worse. I mean, I'm tell me where I'm going. Nigeria worse. If you tell me where I'm going wrong, Venezuela worse. I mean, I could do this all day right, Mexico worse. Oh man, we're having fun,

We're really getting into it. But those former Obama administration foreign policy brahmins are running around acting like they're the ones that should be lecturing the current team about how to get things done. What do they have to point to the Iran deal? Oh yeah, keep all your stuff and we'll take the sanctions off and we'll just see how stuff goes in a few years. Great deal. Obama team,

everything else that it was a complete disaster. Didn't even get up to bat on Israeli Palestinian negotiations got nothing, absolutely nothing. But they're on the sidelines now. Oh this is so bad. They have no idea what they're doing. Trump's falling on his face with North Korea. Please we we we don't need to see team telling the A

team how to get stuff done. And whether you think that Trump's approach works or not, we at least have to give him a chance to make it work right, whether we at least have to see what the results are. This is the guy that everyone said couldn't win the primary, couldn't win the general, no chance of all that stuff, and somehow he did that. I think he's earned the right at this point to have the benefit of the doubt with the way he approaches complicated issues that people

say he can't fix, because he keeps fixing them. He's back with you now because when it comes to the fight for truth, the fuck never stops. The tasks that ran needs to undertake aren't that difficult. We asked them to stop firing missiles into ri odd, This is not It's not a fantasy to imagine the Iranians making a decision not to fire missiles into another nation and threatening American lives to travel through that airport. Um, it's not a fantasy to ask them to cease engaging in terror.

If it was the case that some other country in the Middle East desired to build a nuclear weapons system, we would work to stop them too. Uh. These these are These are a set of simple requirements that the Iranian regime could quite easily comply with. And it would benefit the Iranian Iranian people to an enormous extent. Secretaria State Pompeio I have to say, is I think one of the bright lights of the administration in terms of well knowledge as well as forceful personality, strikes me as

a very sharp guy. I was very supportive of of the move to put him not just at CIA, but then later on move him to Secretary of Defense. You know, he's saying, look, every needs to stop, and we means every we're talking about here exactly what we were discussing before. Former Obama officials were like, oh no, the Irandio, what are we gonna do. Every stop pretending like the Trump admin requests or you could say demands, because there's there's

teeth behind them. If they don't do them, that they're unreasonable, that they're unworkable, that there's just some major misstep that's at work here, because they're never gonna get what they're asking for. Asking Iran not to fire missiles, for example, at at other countries in the region, asking Iran not to make our life more difficult in Syria, in Iraq. You know, this is not unreasonable because we actually hold the cards here. We can make their economy flourish, or

we can make their economy anemic. We can not completely shut it down, but certainly put the damper on it. Their it's their choice up to them. Um. And everything that the US is now saying, everything that the Trump administration is requiring from the Iranian state, is completely within the balance not just of reason but ob sanity. Right to not demand this stuff is or would be strange, I think, to not insist on ballistic missile as part

of the discussions with Iran over its nuclear program. To me, it's just it's just silly, it really is. It just doesn't It doesn't make sense unless you're desperate for a deal, unless you're taking the Obama administration approach of showing up and saying I'm not leaving here without a deal, which is not good. It's not good, not a good approach. Pompeo, by the way, got some a little bit of heat from a reporter on this, and this is how, this

is how our secretary of State responded. Place seventeen. The demands or whatever you wanna call them, that you laid out for Iran yesterday, it seems like there's partially because you've laid them all out, and partially because of what they are, there's not going to be much room for negotiation if any on any of those, would you agree with that? And because of the way that was put out there, what makes you think that Iran is going to be willing to work with the U S on this?

If it's sanctions, wouldn't that take a very long time? At this point, I don't know which of those demands. Should we allow them to be harris that is that one we should compromise on. Should wait? How many messiles are they allowed to fire? I mean, the the answer is what the benchmark? The benchmark I set forward yesterday is a very low standard. It's the standard behavior we expect from countries all around the world. Isn't this very

trumpy and its approach? Forget about all the all the jargon, all the group think, all the conventional this is what the smart people do. Just look at what's going on. What would a normal rational human being think of what Iran is doing the way that it acts as a state, as a country, The answer would be, it acts terribly. Why can't we demand that Iraq, that Iraq, that Iran act like other countries act. We have leverage, we're negotiating.

We're just saying, be a normal country, stop doing these things. How is that strange? Right? But notice that they're the reporter. I don't know which one that was, but the reporters inclination here is like, oh my gosh, like they're just shutting down negotiations before they even happened. The Iranians are never gonna go for that. Yeah, that's why we put pressure on them so that over time they can make

a choice. They understand what's at stake, they understand what the ins and outs youre are, and they can either suffer the consequences of refusing to play ball the way we want them to, or they can start to slide into the community of nations and be more prosperous. But you see, one of the problems here is that prosperity for the Iranian people would mean the end of the regime,

and the regime knows that, right. If the Iranian people were able to really fully integrate into the international community economically, and the malocracy, I don't think would be able to withstand it. It's all. There's already a lot of opposition, there's all. And now we start to get into the regime change discussion, which feels like it's tired and old because people have been having it for thirty years, but or more than that now. But it's only tired and

old because it hasn't happened yet. Right, It would have been a completely bizarre discussion to have regime change, that is in Egypt until about eleven. Then all of a sudden, it felt pretty normal to have that discussion. It wasn't a whole lot of a warning, including for Mubarik himself. So I can see things changing here, uh, and I certainly hope that they do. But the administration just wants I really do believe this. I think Pompeo and Trump and the member of the members of the Foreign policy

team Bolton now is National Security Advisor. They just want to be judged on the results of the policies that they're putting into place, and they want the leeway, they want the space to engage in negotiations with countries that up to this point have stimy all efforts to get

them to do what we want them to do. Really, North Korea or on I mean, I don't even talk to you about the sham election in Venezuela that just happened, but yet another example of the problems of putting social justice and redistribution of wealth above basic human nature, rule

of law, and capitalism. If you go back and look at the art and the archives of what reporters were saying and writing around twenty eleven about Venezuela, a lot of yeah, they've got this all figured out, from people who still think that they're smart, by the way, and still want to give the Trump administration advice on how to deal with all these other countries. I'm talking to you about ultimately, how much does this really affect all of us? I try to always keep that in mind

you with these discussions. It's interesting, but I think the discussions that the media has about foreign policy, and I'm really curious about how many of you agree with me on this. So this is one of these where I'm asking for any of you who are with me, or if you think I'm way off on this one, let me know right right to me on Facebook. But I just feel like the media elites I am not a part of, although I am in the media. Uh, they love to talk about foreign policy because they think that

they get to sound smart when they do it. Most of them don't know a darned thing. They're complete clowns. But it's one of these areas where it doesn't really affect all of us all that much. Very rarely is there a foreign policy challenger issue that matters your day to day life. When I talk to you about healthcare, immigration, taxes, culture, things like that in this country, that's for all of us. Right, that affects all of us. Know us foreign policy visa

I Iran, it could really affect us. We don't want to go to war. There could affect local oil markets, but probably won't. It probably won't, And I like to be honest about that too. This is a much more an area of intellectual interest for a lot of us than it is one that is dealing with imminent problems that all of us face day today. Right, you're not worried about the I R g C kicking in your front door, and neither am I. So perhaps that's a

good way of putting all this in perspective. Speaking of perspective the culture, I mentioned that before Netflix, the Obama's Why is this so important? I'll tell you? Coming up threats of a boycott because Netflix, the streaming video giant, has UH signed a deal with Barack and Michelle Obama, a multi year deal to produce original shows. Let me just first say that this goes to show you a

few things. One, apparently you don't need any experience in TV to produce TV shows or they're just using the Obama brand to push these things, which is also quite possible. But this is a reminder through all of us, as I keep saying, culture is essential in the struggle over our political future, and it's all going digital. The the

cable networks are going to be losing market share. Cable providers are gonna just turn into internet service providers, basically gonna be glorified technology companies that that give you Internet access. And maybe they're gonna work very closely with some of the major digital content providers like Hulu and Netflix and you know, Hbo Go and all the all the rest

of them. But having five channels, UH, and having a cable company decide what channels are on and what what channels aren't, I think that's going away and sooner rather than later, folks, not gonna be all that long. But this is how the left re establishes the information dominance that it had for decades. Almost unchallenged in the media space by putting very prominent they're most prominent political voices

in the top positions of these digital content companies. It's so easy, right, This is where this is the the unseen hand as to how is it that you have so many liberal shows with such a clear left wing agenda that are getting greenland time and time again, and they don't do well. It's not even like they're profitable, but it's it's very obvious that there's an effort underway to to push this progressive content, to just keep pushing

it and pushing it. And you see now that it's because they understand this is how the game is played. They understand that when you bring in the Obama's and put them in Netflix and start giving them shows, it draws a whole lot of other social justice types to Netflix. But it also means that their entire the apparatus around the Obama's right, a lot of their senior advisor types

and hangers on, fundraisers and bundlers. They can evolve in the entertainment side of things, and this is where they create a space where they think they can win because it's an uneven space that want to they don't want

to even playing field. They want Barack and Michelle Obama and you know, I don't know, David Axel Rod and uh, you know, just go whoever, Valerie, Jared and the Clinton's, and they want all these Democrat heavyweights to have their hands in the entertainment side of media too, because you know, you might want to make a show about I don't know, maybe uh Secretary of State who's too busy taking big donations from some of the worst countries in the world

for her quote foundation while she's not really paying attention to a diplomatic outpost in Benghazi, Libya, And you know, you might want to do a whole show, a scripted series about that. You're that's gonna get made at Netflix with the Obama signed on. I don't think so. This is why we lose on culture on these When I say we lose, I don't mean that they've won the argument. I'm just saying this is why they have an advantage in these cultural arenas because they do they cheat, They

stack the deck. Well, the cheat too. They're not trying to have a may the best content win attitude. They're trying to control the content so they can control the messaging. That's why the Obama is going there. Um is so it's so noteworthy. We we were starting to learn all this folks, Facebook and Twitter and Netflix, and these are left wing outfits, left wing, dogmatically progressive, and they are suppressing conservative information, messaging and thought for ideological reasons. They

can say they're not, but they are. And that's why when I see here on a Business Insider the Obama's claim it's unlikely that their programs are going to be overtly partisan. But that's not that's just not true. Right, Even if they don't do a political show, they'll be political decisions about what gets made in to a show. There'll be political decisions about who who gets to be, uh, you know, the next executive producer of of a show that captures the imagination of a generation in this country.

Who who's in a position to get the budget from Netflix and other backers to spend tens of millions, maybe even over a hundred billion dollars on a season of television. Right, who's going to have that ability? Oh, that's right. The politically connected democrats who are being seeded into positions of authority and all these digital platforms, I wish I could say I have an answer, because we've got a long way to go before we can catch up to the

facebooks and the Twitters and the Netflix. Is we don't have any conservatives running any of these things. And I don't even want a place that is necessarily right wing. I would just like some of these digital platforms that are reaching so many people here in this country and around the world. But I'm first and foremost concerned with this country. I just want a place where I know that it's not just completely and utterly stacked against us. I don't I don't even need a playing field in

our favor. I just don't want it in their favor. And that that would be nice, that would be a step in the right direction. Uh, you know you had you and Ambassador Susan Rice joined the Netflix board of directors. Remember she took she took very good care of the Obamba legacy. National security advisor went on that went on the Sunday Show, lied about terrorist attack in Benghazi, said it was a protest, you know, but she knew. Democrats take care of their own. It's one of their more

impressive skills or decisions. But they have institutionally a very good record. They're kind of like the Lanisters and the Lanisters and Game of Thrones. Lanisters always pay their debts. Everybody knows the Lanisters are dirt bags. But if you do is something for the Lanisters, you're actually gonna get paid. You know, they always pay their debts. Very powerful Democrats pay their debts to those who carry water for the party.

They really do. They go to bat for them, they protect them, and even if you take hits for the Democrat Party that seem rough at the time, they will make sure you get on the boards of companies, which is one of the greatest gigs in the world. You probably call in once a quarter at a conference, call, make two or three grand, and it's this, this is the best stuff you can get, right. That's that's another

way they win. But that's a separate discussion. Don't ignore these uh left wingers who are running these organizations and are now trying to merge the digital content culture with our digital left wing political culture in this country, because it is happening. It's happening right now, and it has really profound long term effects in the direction of politics in this country as a whole. It really really does UH speaking of left wing politics and trajectories and what's happening.

Oh yeah, you know what's coming up. You know what I've got for you. We're gonna follow up on Starbucks with its whole Let's turn our restaurants into bus depots of thirty years ago and see how that goes for us. Right, A lot of crack dealers and runaways and people evading the law. That's what bus depots were. Let's see what happens with Starbucks.

coffee or die revolution with Black Rifle. Seem Welcome to our three of the Buck Sexton Show. It has been quite a ride, hasn't it discussed all kinds of things. We cover a lot of ground here on the show, but I want to spend some time on a on a follow up, if you will, something that's a little bit, a little bit too different from what a lot of other folks are talking about. I'm talking about the Starbucks bathroom and overall cafe usage policy. Now I gave them

a hard time yesterday's you know. And occasionally occasionally I find myself without my k cuffs from Black Rifle, or without access to my Black Rifle coffee that I make for colbrew, and I have to walk into a Starbucks location and actually I know the coffee is not bad. It's not great, but it's not bad, and check it out. So I'm familiar with how the Starbucks world functions. I know they even have an app now, and they're getting

fancier and fancier with their coffee. I think there's even like a super expensive not the bat guano coffee, which is the most expensive in the world. That's a real thing. By the way, producer Mike fact check me on it. People pay extra money to drink steamy bat poop. It's true, like a lot of money, like thirty dollars a cup for bat poop coffee. They don't call it that. Of course,

there's a mother. There's some other name you can uh you can, Yeah, well we'll get you the name in a second point here is um point whild bat guano coffee. You can actually you can actually get that on on eBay. Oh man, yeah, it's uh, I'm sorry, Yeah, there's a there's a few different ways to all right, I'm getting off the rails here. I wanted to tell you about this uh special coffee that you can drink, but it comes from is it civits or bats Civit coffee is

really expensive. Anyway, Starbucks has this big issue with not wanting to be an exclude a place where there's any bias to exclude anyone. So they had this whole policy they and not only does can anyone use the bathrooms? And I would note that's pretty much the policy already most places. If you go in and say you got to use the bathroom, they're gonna let you use the bathroom.

And even if they don't, guess what, you can wait till somebody goes in the bathroom, and then you can just go in when they're done, right when the door is open. So it's not really a complex problem. But show it's the chairman. And I gave him a hard time for this, and I'm certainly not the only one. He was in a position where he felt like he had to take a dramatic action here to make sure it did not look like Starbucks was biased. So what

did he do? What do you do? Oh, that's right, he said, Well, our new policy will be that you don't have to buy anything, and you can sit there as long as you want, you can use the bathroom, you don't even have to be a customer anymore. Effectively, Starbucks gets turned into a public use facility like the local public library. Now a lot of you are probably like, wow, buck, my local public library, if you live in a city, is not a place you want to spend much time

and you don't want to be there alone. I'm just saying, you don't know what's gonna happen in there. Uh, and that's gonna happen with Starbucks. So now they've decided because of the backlash, because people like me were mocking them for it, understandably, So this is a crazy This is a crazy idea. The whole thing is nuts. They're like, well, now we're gonna have some policies. So here they go, Okay, uh, you can't sleep and you can't do drugs. Those are

the old those are the red lines. Now for the usage of Starbucks thousands and thousands and thousands of stores across the country. So short of those two things, it is up to manage your discretion of individual locations. Remember they're not on a franchise model. They are corporate owned Starbucks is if it's a Starbucks, it's owned by the Starbucks corporation. So this isn't like you know, McDonald's, for example,

has a policy in place of letting individual franchisees. This is also a way to outsource the decision making risk here in case there's any bad press. Franchisees can decide do people get to hang out without paying or do they have to pay? It's up to them corporate McDonald's doesn't have to worry about it. But Starbucks has this whole model of you know, we're also a meeting place

in a workspace. And and but I mean, the understanding has when you've got at least by over priced five calorie five dollar and fifty cent uh frappuccino before you're allowed to sit down for a long time. So but they're gonna make the problem worse though. Now they keep digging right there. They're getting themselves into a hole, and they won't stop digging, to keep on digging. And what

you see happening here is that they're doing this. And now they're trying to come up with a way to put you know, some stop gap or some some guidelines in place so it doesn't just turn all these thousands of Starbucks locations into a glorified here. I mean, you ever been to a bathroom in a public park? I don't know what it's like where you are. Some of you, I know, live in like lovely places where there's not that many people, and you know, your parks are really clean,

in your streets are really nice. Yeah, And I know, I know, give yourself a pad on the back because I'm a city dweller from big cities run by Democrats, so everything is like filthy. That's public. I mean, the public stuff tends to be really gross. But I mean, I remember, even as a kid, if I had to use the restroom in Central Park or something, there weren't very many of them, but you go in and there

was this smell. It smells kind of like you had walked into a a mausoleum and there were jars of thousand year old urine that had been sitting there just marinating for for millennia. And it's a smell unlike any other I've ever really come across. You're not gonna have quite that in the Starbucks bathroom, but it's gonna be pretty close if they keep up with this policy. So now they say you can't sleep, you can't do drugs.

Guess what this is gonna lead to the First time a manager and tries to enforce the policy beyond someone sleeping or someone doing drugs, They're gonna get called out right, There's gonna be problems. And do you think that this is really going to stop someone who is a vagrant, let's say, from going in there. No, of course not, because it's going to create a culture of no longer do you have to be a patron, you can just

be a transient and use them as a location. I actually think this is gonna affect Starbucks is bottom line. And like I don't know any Starbucks stock. I'm not I'm not trying to, you know, get it going one way or the other. But I think this is gonna be a problem for Starbucks. Uh, you know, they're gonna have to They've got to walk this one back and

they've got there. What they're really trying to do is just keep this whole thing going for another week, you know, keep it, keep themselves on the good side of the social justice warriors, because once they've had their big diversity training day, then ever just gonna forget about it. And what really takes hold is the coffee addiction that America has. Because we are addicted to coffee. Don't even get me started on this I'm addicted to coffee, I think, I mean,

certainly to caffeine. Is it really possible that my two favorite things to ingest in the planet just happened to be coffee and chocolate. Red meat? Yeah, but there's only so much red meat, you can you know, if I was eating red meat five times a day, some of your like you'd be a hero buck. Yeah. No, I know, but that's a little bit excessive. It might have something to do with the caffe nation that that is part of the process of drinking coffee and of eating chocolate.

I mean, I actually have a chocolate stash here. I'm currently bouncing around to hotels and airbnbs and things in d C as I find a find more permanent accommodations, and I have to carry a coffee a chocolate stash with me, kind of carrying my black rifle as a stash, and if need be, I gotta get coffee on the run. So there's a sense there. I just have a feeling that caffeine plays a role at all this. But that's why it's such a successful business model. That's why Starbucks

has been doing so well. There's no other substance that people it's completely socially acceptable, and in fact, I think it does assist in productivity for lot of folks. It certainly does for me, show up, get ready, drink your coffee every day every day. And the personalization that goes into it too is amazing. People have really specific, um, really specific needs when it comes to their coffee. Also, what is it with the person that will be in the line and just thinks that they're the only one.

I'm talking about the line where they have a little stirs and the different milks which there should really only be one milk. It's called milk, m I l k. It comes from a cow and it's delicious and it's good for you. Skim milk, as we know, it's just water that's lying about being milk. And then you have almond milk, which is almond juice. It's fine if you want to drink it, but it's a juice, it's not a milk. And then you have soy milk, which is

just another that's just just poison. Soy milk probably gives us all well, gives the gentleman list into this what is uh known in course languages man boobs soy milk is bad, bad, bad, increases estrogen. You don't want to be drinking soy milk. Um. I have no idea what it does the ladies. But so if you want to drink swy milk, go for it. But for dudes, soy milk is bad. But there's always the guy in the line for the coffee or or for the the the station where you get the milk, and the stirs. By

the way, I'm not a big stir fan. I've I've seen funky things happen to those little wooden stirs who's just so freaking slow, And you have to think yourself, how hard is this, buddy? Is this really? It's it's eight am. You got a line of twenty people. We're all trying to get coffee before we get into our office or go to work. Is this your first? Is

this really your first rodeo? Like? Is this the first time you've had to look for skim or half and half or you don't know, But someone always assigns to go in super slow speed, kind of like the super slow speed that people want. A plane finally lands and they have to pull their luggage down from overhead the suddence. I'm growing fast as kidd I mean they slow motion, slow motion the whole thing. Yeah, it's not that hard. You know your lugg you just pull it down. You

know where the milk is, pour it. Let's go, buddy. Time is money. Speaking of time is money, Starbucks gonna find out letting people sit in your facility all day and not spend any money, it's not good. It's not it's not gonna work out for the bottom line. So anyway they realize as a mistake, I'm wondering how they're gonna back out of it. Um, Speaking of mistakes, a millennial who's thirty who doesn't want to move out, what

ends up happening? I'll tell you in just a moment before I get too deep into this analysis, I gotta start here. Uh, Producer, Mike and and Brandon, how old are you allowed to be now and still consider yourself a millennial? I mean that's I need to know. I would like you both to weigh in. Mike, how old

is the oldest millennial allowed to be? I would say, like it's a I've been told it's a gray line because I have friends who are thirty five thirty six who fall in that range and refused to be millennials and say it's their choice not to be. See, I'm I always say I'm a Gray Beer millennial because I'm at the absolute upper limit. I'm right there, I'm thirty six, Brandon millennials, how old. See I kind of understand what Mike is saying. I'm thirty four. I consider myself a cusper.

I've heard that word before. I'm the cusp of gen X and millennialssper. Okay, that's what I tell myself. We're we're kind of rejected by both the millennial and gen X communities. Guys, we're all we're all roughly the same age here, so it's a little little sad. But anyway, although Bruser Mike is a little more firmly gen X and the rest of us brand and we can high

five each other. Nonetheless, gen X, gen Y, all these different things, they come together, and everyone always likes to to pretend that the whatever the generation is that they're talking about is, oh, look at them, they're ruining this, or they're they're the worst right this, But sometimes it does seem like millennials are kind of the worst. There are some things that are specific to the millennial set, and it has to do with with liberals and social justice.

Worst almost always right. You never have some bad story about a millennial who's like, I've been saving my money and like building houses and being a capitalist. It's always something about someone who needs a safe space, doesn't wanna go out and actually have to earn a living. And this one we see here in New York State, my home state, is a perfect example of millennials gone wrong. A judge this is getting this is getting an attention all over the place. A judge has sided with parents.

Check that out. Man parents in trying to evict their unemployed, millennial thirty year old son from from their family home. A judge has literally had to weigh in here for oakes and tell a thirty year old that he's not allowed to just stay in the parents home. He's not allowed to continue to refuse to do anything, refuse to pay rent. This is crazy until you see a photo of the guy. And I'm telling you Daily Mail has

this up. You've got to check it out. Because when you hear that a thirty year old dude refuses his parents multiple entreaties for him to move out, that he remember, he won't pay rent, he won't do chores. He just wants to stay in his family home and refuses to leave. You're like, who would do such a thing? And then you see a photo and you're like, oh, that guy would do such a thing. Michael Rotondo, that is his name. Thirty Uh. He looks kind of like Yanni, not Laurel,

but Yanni. He looks like a dude who, let's just say, is not exactly crushing it in the ladies department. And sure enough he refuses refuse. He's got super long. Here is super long. He's kind of got a Gandalf thing going on, long Beard, and he won't leave. And you read these different notices, right, you read these different things as parents. They note after note you are hereby evicted. Here is from us. So you can find a place to say that parents are desperate to get him out,

and he won't leave. I've never heard of such a thing that this may be the most millennial thing ever. In some ways, I've never even heard of this before. But it reminds me of how we all go through this, all these I think I did. I don't know if all do you go through this life cycle where, of course, initially your parents provide for you to take care of you, to give you a home. Then you're a little older and you're just like, oh gosh, you know, you you

want your freedom, you want your space. You know, you want to be able to spread your wings a little bit and not have not have their rules and their curfew and everything else. And then I feel like you move out and maybe it's before college, maybe it's after college, and you established this rhythm where you're like, yeah, you know,

that's right, I'm out of my own. But after a few years, especially if you're like me and you're from a major city and you've had to have roommates and roommates and roommates, you're like, you know, man, it was really nice living at home. It was it was great. You know, Mom is a really good cook, and uh, it's great food in the house. Like just the notion of having good food to eat in the home that's

just there for you. You take that for granted when you're a kid and you're a teenager, you get in your twenties and thirties and all of a sudden, you're like, I have to grocery shop. That was one of the real moments. It hit me, by the way, when I realized that if I did not, in fact go get toilet paper or paper towel, there wasn't going to be any this is I know it's a part of growing up,

it's a part of the maturation process. But you know, you come to a point where you realized, Wow, I wish I could go back in time and tell like four teen year old me, hey, buddy, none of this. I'm not that I was a rebellious kid, but you know, none of this. Oh man, I need my freedom and everything else. Like, enjoy it while you can, because well, you don't want to be the thirty year old who literally refuses to leave his parents home. This guy is

quite a piece of work. They actually described in the Daily Mail article failure Launch Syndrome, which I think was also a completely terrible movie with I want to say, Matthew McConaughey and uh, Jennifer Aniston, maybe does that sound right? I think that's right anyway, Failure to launch is a real thing. I didn't know this. Um, well, it's become a real thing. At least now doctors will diagnose somebody with a failure to launch. So you don't want to

be the three year old guy. But you want to appreciate the fact that, man, if you have parents and you have a family that run a nice home for you, it's comfortable, safe and warm, and you can just get to like hang out and go to school. That's a great set up. I can't really appreciate it when you're a kid. It But this guy, as I said, Yanni's stunt double that has to leave. You gotta see you gotta see this dude to believe it. It looks like he's he's out. The judge said that he is, in

fact evicted. He tried to say that that the law was on his side and that he needs at least a six month at least a six month window before he could be asked to move, which that that's obviously quite a bit excessive. So he's he's out. He is gone, all right. I know, I've got I've got roll call coming up, which I am excited to talk to you about. And I've I've got a little bit of science before that, though, What do women find attractive and what does science say

about eating eggs? I have the latest in these hot off the press's stories coming right up. Got good news for you, team. I like to be able to bring you good news. This goes in the oh wait, you mean the stuff that you've been hold for a long time, isn't true? File? Eggs are delicious. There are many different ways to eat eggs, as you know. I've been on television one time showing America how to make eggs great again.

But we were for a long time in a position where we were told that they cause heart disease, that they are bad for cholesterol, and that you should really limit your intake of eggs and in fact choose things like cereal and other high carbohydrate, high sugar breakfast alternatives. This is the exact opposite of a good idea. But I have some science here to back up what I'm saying.

This courtesy of Royter's, the major news our service. People who eat an egg just about every day have a lower risk of heart attack and stroke than individuals who don't eat eggs at all. This is based on a large study out of China. China, as Trump says, Uh, you had forty four hundred two or thirteen adults in their fifties part of this survey, very very big survey, and on average they ate a half an egg daily, About nine of them avoided eggs altogether eight roughly egged day.

And the good news is eating eggs is better for you than not eating eggs. So there you go. There you go, folks. I'm just wondering where they're going to do a huge study of bacon to prove the truth that we already know, and that is that bacon is not only delicious, but in reasonable quantities is good for you. That's one bit of science today. I got another thing on this on the science side that I wanted to share with you, and that is what do this is

according to science? This is not like my opinion right later in the show. Sometimes I like to just talk to you about the science e stuff out there. You know, what are the people in the lab coats doing all the fancy calculations. What are they coming up with? Here's what we since found out. Science tells us that what women find most physically attractive is Now, I'm gonna leave you hanging there for a second, because I feel like there are a lot of different things that you might

have tossed into the mix. There are a lot of different possibilities you might think to yourself, you know, a great head of hair, a winning smile, a square set jaw. These are the things that women find attractive. But if you thought all those things, you would in fact be wrong, because according to science the study this is the Royal Society uh Journal Open Science Journal said that a man's the length of a man's legs in proportion to the rest of his body is in fact a single most

important indicator of whether females will find him attractive. This was a study. Roots study says wrote, got it right, buck. Women don't care about men's elbows or knees, and male arms are generally sidelined their relative their relative length to the male body had no effect on a woman's pulse, but when it came to legs, hearts would race if they look to be close to half the male figures height, a little more, a little less, and the women's eyes

began to wander. I don't know how this is possible, folks. I gotta tell you, I've never consciously, and of course I'm male looking at females, but I've never thought, oh, the ratio of leg to the rest of the body is what I'm really looking for here. So this has to be some subconscious stuff. This has to be the kind of thing that you're not aware of, but it's influencing the way you perceive things. I don't know, Ladies,

you tell me, I guess tall, dark, and handsome. It's really just tall and proportional to the rest of the body. That's what that's what's supposed to be exciting. I don't know. You look at all the different standards of beauty across society. I I thought that we had already settled with the science that it has to do with the proportionality of the face, and that's how people determine whether or not

they find somebody physically attractive. And there's all this science and research, by the way, about how physical attraction has roots in genetics and passing on well, I mean that all makes sense, right, but but also with with health and passing on gender information that is likely to be

good for the next generation. They've done studies to show that men are more attractive to women who for having a greater level of testosterone, and that that's also that's where you get the whole square jaw and I think

deeper set eyes. And there's a few things about that that manifest themselves physically, that testosterone does to the male body that women tend to find more attractive, even though it is also the case that men with higher levels of testosterone are more likely to cheat, more likely to

get divorced, and more likely to get into a fight. So, ladies, if you're wondering why do you like those bad boys so much, turns out it's uh got a biochemical origin, and it has to do with what you find attractive versus what will be what kind of mail will be the best mate, the best protector and provider for children. So the genetic material component of it is in a state of um contradiction, so to speak, or is in a state of tension with the behavioral aspects of the

greater testosterone. So no, see a little little nerdy science stuff. I like to work that into the conversation sometimes. Bottom line, eggs are good for you, says science. Bacon is good for you, says Buck. And you want your legs to be roughly in proportion of your body, which sounds like everybody, but that's what they're telling me. All right, roll call up next. The show ain't over yet, folks, it's time.

Oh man, it was so sad today. I wanted to try something different than what I always have for lunch around here, which tends to be I'm not gonna lie to you. I found a place that serves bacon and eggs all day, and so I just have baking and eggs for lunch a lot of the time. But I went into a place today that makes b bim bop and I'm all excited. It's a Korean dish, usually rice space. You get some kim chi in there, exciting things, a little little egg on top. I'm thinking, I'm gonna like

this be bimbop. And then I look at their gluten free menu at this place, and it's b bim bomp without the protein. Only protein you can have as an egg. And I already have eggs every day. No Korean barbecue, no chicken, no pork. It's a sad day for me. So that was my disappointment. But you know what makes me excited hearing from all of you, my wonderful team Buck, all of you folks weighing in with your thoughts on

all the latest here. All right, with that in mind, Facebook dot com, slash Buck Sexton, if you want to get in on some of this roll call action, you know you know how to do a team You know how it goes also official Team Buck at gmail dot com. One of you pointed out to me with a bit of snark that I would say what was in fact necessary that having a Gmail account for my official nationally syndicated radio show is only slightly cooler than having an

a o L account. So I will remind us Mike John Buck to get a more and an email commensurate with the level of our show as and it's actually the company we work for. But let's get into this. Uh, Jerry rights Hey Buck been jones ing for a history deep dive and downloaded The Great Siege of Mall to buy Bruce Allen when I saw it on sale for one dollar. Couldn't pass it up at that price. So far, so good. One thing I keep catching myself doing is

reading it in Buck's voice. When the war story starts getting intense, the Buck voice comes out, just needs some sound effects to go with it. Also came across a cool podcast episode from No Dumb Questions about siege warfare. Check it out sometime. Good info about old time war tactics. Well, Jerry,

I will check that out. That sounds really cool actually, and uh, thank you for one telling me about this book on the Siege of Malta, and to the reminder that we will, in fact come back with some roll call. I'm sorry, we're doing roll call right now. Come back with some shield tie very very soon, t J. Next up here, Buck, Your scrutiny of a number of folk pop classic rock bands baffles me slightly. I e. Bob Dylan, The Beatles, The Stones, and Springsteen. By no means am

I offended, but I am in read. Anyways, if I could give you a quick list of bands, could you give you uh, could you give your opinion on each? Just a quick one word answer will suffice Wow, t J. This is actually a fun game, you know, I would invite people. You know, this is kind of like asked Buck anything. But it's really we'll come up with a with a cooler name for this, but it's like testing the curmudgeonliness here as to see what I like and

don't like. Um I okay, so we can do this with one word um Ero Smith, epic A C, D C amazing, bad company, I don't know, Leonard skinnerd couple of great songs. I don't really have just one word for that one. Queen some good songs. Ted nugent interesting fellow thirty eight special. I don't even know what band that is. I know that that's what people refer to a type of revolver as. Anyway, t J writes, if you enjoy playing this game, I'll come up with another

list in a few days. Well, t J sounds good, come up with another list do TV shows? I like this game though the test bucks? Uh critical skills here or skills as a critic, Daniel? Anyway, shield side t J. Daniels up next. You're right, Buck is a child of the nineties. I pretty much have the first ten years of The Simpsons memorized. That being said, the cryptic references to your coming announcement reminds me of the Gabbo is Coming commercials that were used to drum up anticipation for

an audience to compete with Krusty. Sorry for the esoteric, esoteric reference, Daniel, I, I'm familiar with Krusty the clown, and I think that gosh I was gonna say Frasier Crane, but his actual name was Kelsey Grammer is fantastic in that role. Uh when he right? Because isn't he the actual voice of Krusty that you know? Actually I sound like Moe the bartender there. What are you doing? Alma? That was actually pretty good off the top of my head. But I don't know about gabbo is coming, so I

will have to check it out. But thank you very much for writing Monica up next. You are so uh you are so correct on gut feelings about people. Bad apartment story. We moved everything we owned, Okinawa. I had a bad feeling about the landlord, no lease. Move was last minute, paid rent for a few months, and got a postcard in the mail from the actual owner addressed to the guy I was paying rent to, saying he hadn't paid rent for three months. Had to move again,

shields I from team buck Okinawa. Yeah, Monica, I've made some of the mistakes with apartments, but you know, it's so much easier as you go on in life when you have more experience, maybe even have a little more financial resource at your disposal. Because when I was looking for apartments in New York in d C, I don't have any money. And when you don't have any money, you and when I mean when I say I don't have any money, I'm not talking about like thirst on

hal the third money. Oh I'm smacking around blows with a hundred dollar bills. No. I mean, you know, my first and last month rent to move into an apartment was like all the money I had in the world. So if I got it wrong, I don't have any money. Uh, that makes it a bit a bit harder. That raises the stakes a little bit. But yeah, that gut instinct about it's not just about the management company, the landlord

or the owner about the place too. When you walk into a place, you get a feeling about it, and you don't want to ignore that feeling. You really should. I mean, look, if there's some specific reason why, you know, as soured you want a place, that isn't relevant. You know, if you walk in and there's like another couple looking at the apartment or something, or the house, well, that doesn't necessarily mean that it's a bad place. It might actually mean it's a great place. You just need to

get get a perspective on it. Anyway, I don't ignore that gut feeling. You know. My dad always says don't ignore your instincts, and that's true. It doesn't mean obey your instincts all the time. It just means don't ignore them. Be aware of them, be aware of the feeling you're getting. Next up here, William, who writes, Uh, you just read one of my messages. Sometimes it's hard to explain what I'm trying to say. I'm not Buck Sexton, thanks for

reading my posts. Love you man shield Side Well, William, love you too, buddy, Thanks for the thanks for always writing in. Oh, he writes another message. By the way, I always listen to Joe Rogan. He's had his head beat in on a lot and done a lot of drugs. Somehow he's still able to get his point across. Yeah. I to check out these roguan podcasts. A few of you have told me that that you really like the work he's doing with podcasting, and then I should check

it out. And also that I should be a guest on this podcast. I'd love to, but I don't have any contact with Joe, so I'll have to just wait. Sandy writes, Oh, Buck sprang all over the place like an elephant. Did you really mean to say that? Oh my gosh. Every time I think of that, it makes me crack up again. I love that you're so comfortable with all your fans. It makes me feel like we're one big family. I'm still laughing. Love, prayers and great

appreciation from Sandy Well Sandy, thank you so much. I can neither confirm nor deny whether the elephant comment was meant as stated or just was it was it happenstands funny or intended to be funny. Neither confirmed nor denied. Right now, I'm gonna leave it out there. Um but speaking of leaving it out there, that's gonna be it for the Freedom Hunt today. Um. But, by the way, I'm gonna have to get you all ready for the Freedom Hunt with Buck Sexton podcast, which is launching the

first week of June. We are locked and loaded on it, my friends. It's gonna be kind of like a chill out session be on Wednesdays when we're planning to drop them each Wednesday, so I'll be telling you more about it. It's also gonna be the home of Commy Bear for those of you who have been asking where is Commy Bear the podcast. That's where you're gonna have Commy Bear. That's the way it's gonna go, as well as some other characters that might make appearances occasionally on this show.

But it's gonna be mostly the Freedom hut that you're hearing some of the wackier stuff that I that I do here on the show, or more insightful, depends on how you look at it. Appreciate you being with me team as always and looking forward to hanging out tomorrow. Every day this week, have a fantastic rest of your evening or rest of your day, depending on when you're listening. Until next time, Team Shields Hig
